And yes, other social media platforms have similar issues with algorithmic feeds, but they are currently a less clear national security threat. Though, one could argue they are radicalizing internal threats.
That's not a "botnet" though, advertising does the same thing. We don't call the people buying things they've been marketed a "botnet".
Why should they make any assumptions? If no 'statistical' increment can be detected, and "statistics" is still science, then doesn't this resolve the matter?
> The difference is: he got lucky

So...back in 1993, when Jensen Huang was founding Nvidia, how many of those million-ish "smarter" people had any real interest in founding a graphics card company? Or any sort of company, period?

Yes, luck favored him a number of times, to make it to $8e10 net worth. If he was only worth a measly $8e5, would you have some other reason(s) to sneer at him?

> There are still people who have been roofing for 50 years and refuse to change a single thing they do and learned 50 years ago.

This is at best a huge exaggeration. For one thing, roofing is not a 50-year career. If you know any 70 year old roofers, they've either been retired or moved on to other things decades ago - the toll that roofing takes on a body makes it a 10-15 year career at best.

Secondly, I've been working with roofers a lot lately - I have a very old style of roof that was common 50 years ago, and it's very hard to find people who can work on it, because everyone wants to do things the modern way.

Congrats on the launch!

I love Nix. I really do. I also recognize the onboarding experience is bad at best and terrible at worst.

As such I welcome any effort to make it more approachable. I believe the imperative CLI is a great step in that direction. It's much closer to what many people expect and will feel comfortable with. Simplifying the "using an environment from somewhere else" story is also one I strongly relate to.

One thing I'm not seeing that I think would be important is IDE integration. Starting your IDE from the command line inside the environment is not intuitive to many of my colleagues and is something I've diagnodes as the root cause of an issue more than once.

What's your story for dropping down into 'real Nix' if required? I'm a bit afraid that this might drop you off at a cliff for somewhat more complicated environments, for example to set up a cross-compilation Rust toolchain.

To stick with the example of Rust development, I have the following shellHook in one of my Flakes:

export LIBCLANG_PATH="${pkgs.llvmPackages.libclang.lib}/lib"
export RUST_SRC_PATH="${pkgs.rust.packages.stable.rustPlatform.rustLibSrc}"
export BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS="$(< ${stdenv.cc}/nix-support/libc-crt1-cflags) \
$(< ${stdenv.cc}/nix-support/libc-cflags) \
$(< ${stdenv.cc}/nix-support/cc-cflags) \
$(< ${stdenv.cc}/nix-support/libcxx-cxxflags) \
${lib.optionalString stdenv.cc.isClang "-idirafter ${stdenv.cc.cc.lib}/lib/clang/${lib.getVersion stdenv.cc.cc}/include"} \
${lib.optionalString stdenv.cc.isGNU "-isystem ${lib.getDev stdenv.cc.cc}/include/c++/${lib.getVersion stdenv.cc.cc} -isystem ${stdenv.cc.cc}/include/c++/${lib.getVersion stdenv.cc.cc}/${stdenv.hostPlatform.config} -isystem ${stdenv.cc.cc}/lib/gcc/${stdenv.hostPlatform.config}/${lib.getVersion stdenv.cc.cc}/include"} \
$NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE"

It was necessary to get Rust-Analyzer to play nice. How would I ever set something like this up in Flox? Is this kind of setup something you want to abstract away? If not, how would this ever be discoverable to a user that isn't familiar with Nix?

Please don't mistake these questions as me saying this can never work. I really want it to work, I just don't know how yet.
I think that goes without saying, it's virtually impossible to make a living with a paid up front app now.
Yep, I'm with you. I think this "suffering is necessary" point Huang is making is his weakest point. Maybe a more nuanced version of it that I think would be a stronger point is that there is a "sweet spot" of life challenges - not too much, but also not too little - that increase the odds of positive outcomes for people.

But as you say, people who experience extreme suffering are much more likely to experience a lifetime of profound difficulty than to become a great auteur, entrepreneur, or leader.
If you haven't tried Obsidian, I would. It has the features you were looking for. The downside being it is directory (vault) based as well and doesn't really offer the ability to edit one off files.

That seems possible, but that might just have to do with the state of the culture before TikTok anyways. Maybe the doom and gloom among young people in North America is because of other factors and content relating to it just happens to get more popular. China might have a more positive population right now, that makes and supports more positive content.
That is basically the definition of communism. communism is one answer to the question "Democracy is supposed to be a good thing for our public governments, why do our for for-profit endeavors not run under democratic means?"

So the communist answer is "fold the manufacturing government into the rest of the government"

Communism has many problems, for one they never actually restore democratic means, to the point that "peoples republic" is sort a joke term for dictatorship. but the one in scope is that running an operation from a large central government will remove the focus a business needs to work well. self-interest is a powerful force multiplier.

In a for profit cooperation the voting rights holders are usually those who have invested in the operation, or them who have bought these voting rights from others. They are usually run as a sort of dictatorship, which does dis-enfranchise the workers, but works very well with small groups.

But the main point was if you want to operate your endeavor as a government instead of as an individual person than it needs to incorporate. The government does not need to be democratic, and it usually is not.

And consider towns, they use the same vocabulary "incorporate" when they want to form a local government.

Ask HN: How did high level programming languages take over?
There's been a lot of opinions about how AI will impact software development. So far, we've seen impressive demos but the majority of devs don't use AI as a main part of their development flow.
Regardless, I think we can draw some lessons from the part where a more productive development flow fundamentally changed the profession.

So this is a question to those of you who worked with low level languages and how did you experience the advent of high level ones? Let's not get into the nitty gritty definitions and focus on the pace of disruption and impact of the change on the industry.

Literally the top comment:

> The thing I don't like about these stores is IMO they take advantage of poor people who think they are getting cheaper products, but in many cases, especially for food items, they're paying more. A gallon of milk was $3.50 last time I went to one, whereas it was $1.89 at Meijer. Of course, Meijer does the same thing: if you buy milk at their gas station store, it's also well over $3, but inside the store it's under $2.

It's stating that poor people are being taken advantage of - not that they have different circumstances and these stores actually serve them - otherwise, they wouldn't exist.

It's implying that all of us on HN are too smart to be taken advantage of and shop at better stores.

> They have one kind and the price is usually reasonable, whereas the large grocery stores play all kinds of games intended to cause people in a hurry or with limited time or ability to compare products, to choose the wrong thing and pay more.

Just because you shop at Dollar Family doesn't mean you're dumb and being taken advantage of. Or that you're not smart enough to compare products. It means you (likely) have different preferences (for maybe unfortunate reasons).

Dollar Tree and Aldi are both trying to make as much money as possible off of their customers.

Explanation - health potions cost a small amount of in game money and have to be ferried by a courier to the player. Most pros (and good players copying the pros) didn’t do this because it wasn’t considered cost effective. They would rather save up for a larger purchase. Until they repeatedly lost to OpenAI bots spending absurd amounts of money on health potions.

The AI didn't follow "best practice" because it wasn't trained on human games, found a better way and that was quickly adopted by all, becoming the new best practice.

The point I think he's trying to make is that our economic system, to a greater degree than many of us want to recognize, hands out rewards arbitrarily. Merit alone will not get you there: luck and family connections (which is basically another form of luck) help a great deal more.

I think a reason we find this so disagreeable to think about is that it removes much of the incentive to work hard. If you are not wealthy and you don't work hard, you have a basically 0% chance of achieving wealth. If you do work hard, you have a 5% chance (for example). So, sure, if you want fiscal security then you have to work very hard, but even with hard work success is unlikely, with the factors other than "work hard" largely out of your control.

Then, of course, if you do achieve success it's easy to attribute it solely to your hard work (after all, again, if you hadn't done that, you wouldn't have been successful) - which is supremely annoying to everyone else as it very obviously isn't the case.
Why?

> The result of that 3.0 GHz overclock? A marginally-improved Geekbench 6 score of 1662, versus 1507 with no OC. To achieve that 10% speedup, it ate up about 20% more power, so efficiency-wise, it's not worth it.

What effect would running an overclock like this permanently have on longevity? Is it even worth thinking about "longevity" of chips?

Obviously stability suffers but for example... how much? Author was able to get a Geekbench 6 benchmark to pass. If they tried 100 times, would it be expected that a non-zero amount would fail?
I believe that you overestimate the ability / desire for someone to move even if there are more opportunities there.

I believe that if you offered homeless people in Oakland a job and a house in Kentucky that they could pay off in 10 years while working as a dish washer, you would have very few takers.

I would also suggest that the town that has the dishwashing job in Kentucky - that business is likely to close in 5 years and there won't be any more unskilled jobs in the town and they'll be out of a job and unable to pay the mortgage, get foreclosed and be homeless again -- they know that story.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't - homeless in California is known while a homeless in Kentucky is something else with even fewer opportunities out.

I don't see how Nvidia has to do anything since PyTorch works just fine on their GPUs, thanks to CUDA. If anything, they're still one of the best platforms and that's definitely not because CUDA isn't competitive.

I hate stuff that only works on certain GPUs as much as the next person, but sadly competition has only really started to catch up to CUDA very recently.
Democracy is not an easily defined concept in practice.

In theory, Democracy is simply the idea that the government is formed from the will of the people... but there is no single will of the people. How do you decide, then, what the will of the people is?

Many of us have grown up with the idea that 'majority rules' is democracy, but why? What makes 51% a magic number?

Most modern democracies don't like the idea of a majority suppressing a minority, so we put restrictions on what the majority can do. Is that undemocratic? Is the Bill of Rights undemocratic because it blocks the will of the people?

There are no easy answers to these questions.

He was too brave.
The quote: `I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering’ really hits on the nose for me.

My Dad had a successful business after a rough childhood, failing high school. He worked hard and built a successful business. He also really did wish ample doses of pain and suffering on me. And he got his wish.

He always thought it was good that I was bullied, that I also failed school, and that everything in life was generally hard for me. He told me this so much that I also believed it, well into my 20s. That is was good I was a failure and suffering.

It took a decade to build my life to a point similar to my classmates that did not suffer the way I did. And I'm not ahead of them even now.

I really wish my Dad would have gotten therapy instead of internalizing his anger, and believing that is what made him successful. It would have saved me a lot of time.
my bad, I misread, as people are usually talking about steps a day. sorry

In that case I agree with the comment above mine. 2,000 steps a day is already way below the average, so walking even less seems really unhealthy, not just due to less movement, but also the underlying causes for walking that little.

Counterpoint: I spent several years in construction, and the assistant superintendent on the project, who was at the end of a ~50 year career, often complained that so much had changed he had no idea what was going on.

'do you ever edit code on a remote machine' (which then further gets into Do you do that by SSH, Remote Desktop, or other) is pretty different than 'work in remote dev environments' implies.

Obisidian is not a text editor, and it never claims to be one.
Yes, I have. I disagree with adding YAML headers into documents because it inevitably mixes presentation with content. KeenWrite takes a different approach in keeping presentation completely separate, allowing the content to vary independently. Aside, KeenWrite generates XHTML documents as an intermediary step towards producing PDF files, making it an alternative site generator.

Nonetheless, if someone wants to use an existing site generator, they can do so while keeping their Markdown documents free of presentation logic. In Linux, it can be as simple as:

cat header.yaml source.md > combined.md

Then run the site generator on the combined output file.

In the screenshots, the theme-driven PDF output shows the same content presented in two different PDF files: one with a ToC and one without. Whether a table of contents is included is presentation logic, dictated by the typesetting engine configuration. If you place the ToC controls in the YAML header for the document, then it means having to change the content to add or remove the ToC. That then presumes the type of transformations the Markdown will undergo, which, IMO, defeats the purpose of a plain text document.
