To be fair to Reddit, Reddit ads are consistently the best ads I’ve seen. I think Reddit formats the ad and makes it with the company to uphold the Reddit vibe and many times the ad also says something witty in the context of the subreddit I’m browsing (my guess is ads are limited to subreddits). The worst ads are twitter and YouTube, just a chore that I would much rather have skipped.
As I said, have fun those last 2-4 years, hopefully your back and joints aren't too cranky(as you are on HN it probably won't be so bad, might suck for manual workers though).

It's interesting to me that there's so little public awareness about stainless steel as it affects workers. I'll go ahead and skip working with it as the piddly amount of a pay bump doesn't offset the known danger it poses. My nose has the correct number of holes in it, thank you very much. Add in the cancer risk and I've got no intentions of screwing around with the stuff.

Reddit isn't experiencing a capitalist assault, it's literally selling out.
Look up disposable income over the years, and you'll soon see that that "glory" era of the 70s may have been less rosy than you think

The cheap housing of that era (even discounting the lead paint and asbestos-based insulation) might not be something you would want to live in today.

Housing is more expensive because people value it more than in the past.

They might value it more because housing is much better than in the past. That could be a simple explanation to what we observe.
Honestly, since i set Kagi to rewrite my searches to old.reddit, i have forgotten new reddit exists lol.

I hope someone makes a forum on top of ATProto. Their tech stack is far more interesting to me compared to ActivityPub, but i just can't stomach the Twitter-style UI of Bluesky to switch to that from Reddit.

Harvard’s introductory-level computer science course, CS50, teaches Scratch for the first week. The course then uses Scratch like pseudocode to outline the high-level structure of programs for students to write in C. This is a proof of concept that Scratch can be part of a good introduction to programming, though the introductory coursework I took at university went straight to learning with Python instead of with Scratch.

For teaching a child, it depends on the person’s interests. You can’t go wrong with Scratch (it looks fun, it’s easy to start with, and it’s immediately accessible within a browser), but the child might eventually want to move on to a more flexible language like Python for more complicated programs.
I think you greatly underestimate the power of targeted messaging and how easy it is to change what people believe. All of us are susceptible to being convinced of a certain viewpoint in matters where we have no expertise.
I lazily didn't want to refactor my CSS myself, so after a failed attempt using ChatGPT for this, I found this CSS sat solver tool.

Just a note on macOS I managed to get this work by:

- Editing the pyproject.toml and changing
- lxml version to 5.1.0
- python to ^3.8
- then running poetry install
- then, also in the repo, running cd satcss && ln -s $(which z3) z3
- then poetry run satcss --help

I may have skipped a step or 2 but that was basically it. I then used satcss' output with this tool

Back when windows 98 was a thing (targeting the same annoying roommate):

1) there was a way to limit the amount of RAM windows used. It was a setting. Set it to 25% and watched him try to debug. Eventually he figured out that the game he was trying to play could show him how much memory he had. At 2am he was sniffing the RAM chips to see which one was burnt.

2) same a...friend. Wrote a small program that would delete, at random a file from system32 (this was at a time when windows had no clue how to protect system files). This would be scheduled to happen anywhere between 1 day and 2 weeks. When it first happened I "helped" him repair it by installing windows over/repairing. Pro was that it fixed the problem, con was that the fun mechanism was left in place. He had fun with this for around 6 months until at a point did a clean install. Nobody that knew him believed him when e started ranting about how unreliable win98 was.
I've been thinking about this same phenomenon. I reside in Norway, where, interestingly, five different car washes opened in 2023 within a 2 km radius of my local neighborhood. Remarkably, four of these are clustered within a 300m stretch inside a commercial park. Our local area has a population of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 people.

Each car wash is operated by a different entity, offering unique apps and subscription plans.

It's hard to imagine this being profitable given the circumstances. But what do I know, I wash my own car.
> would geohot have been better to have gone to school to learn this and deferred all the work he has done?

Could you remind me what he has done since his jailbreaking day, i.e. in the last ten years, that can't be described as "setting VC money on fire?" Because my opinion would be, that yes, the world would have been better off if he did go to school.
This seems like the standard to allow multiple passkeys, which makes sense... the passkeys are device specific, (not considering synced ones like bitwarden)... So if i login on my windows pc with a passkey i also want to be able to login on my iphone with a passkey, if they didn't support multiple passkeys per account this wouldn't be possible, even without taking into account different people in a family having a passkey.

As someone who almost always knows that I'm dreaming i would say no/maybe.

While most of the time i recognize that im dreaming very few times i can actually control the outcome and even fewer i have gain admin control to change anything i think those are what people would assume when talking about lucid dreams.

Also, if i start doing weird stuff or making obvious that I'm aware of my status, the NPCs on my dream become apathetic and would plainly ask for me to stop playing and just wake up.

Ok that sounds like nightmare material noe that i wrote it, but is not scary at all they sound more annoyed that anything else.
I would have assumed its from the rise of gig workers using private cars. Uber/Lyft need to keep cars pretty clean to not be dinged stars, and even package and food delivery can create more mess which may require cleaning (but mostly taxi service I think).

I skimmed the article and don’t see mention of that?
Hard to believe he decamped from his house in Florida which was the genesis of the xanth novels to move to California. I didn’t realize he was almost pushing 90 years old either.
This argument makes a lot of sense. I get more upset than I probably should about car issues, likely because I never spent the time to tinker with them, so I feel rather helpless… and I don’t like feeling helpless.

In my youth I did a lot of tinkering with computers and it has paid dividends. It gave me a career.

These days though, I want to be able to tinker on my own schedule. I want my primary computer, phone, and car to “just work”. That means any low level tinkering needs a second thing. That can work fine for computers, because they’re small and relatively cheap. The idea of having a project car isn’t something I ever see myself doing, as it’s big and expensive.

I can still tinker on some things with my primary computer without it being a problem. Tinkering on writing software, running servers, or whatever, isn’t going to kill my ability to do other things on the computer. A lot of tinkering can be done without tinkering with the OS itself.
That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible, right? Just that no tool is guaranteed to give an answer in any case. And those cases might be 90%, 10% or it-doesn’t-matter-in-practice %
This is grossly exaggerated. Yes, sometimes Perl looks like line noise to the uninitiated, but to the seasoned Perl programmer, it looks like checksummed line noise.
> > I'm painfully aware how much is developed by people with no access to or interest in MacOS. [...] Sometimes you can tell by the simple fact that the git repo contains files in one directory that conflict in naming. Linux has no issues with "Foo" and "foo" coexisting.

Of the three major desktop operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and the Linux family), only Linux has case sensitive filesystems by default. Therefore, it's likely that someone who didn't care about filename case conflicts was running Linux.
Year after Year, I kept thinking this was a fad and would crash. But years go by, and now they are calling it a 'boom'. 14 billion dollar market. For Car Washes?

Isn't this an indicator that economy is fine, people are fine, since they can spend this type of money on car washes? How can something this worthless be booming, if people are struggling.

I have been using GPT 4 daily for coding for probably six months, immediately started using Claude Opus when it came out. Opus is ahead of GPT4. There are times when I test both, but I am almost always solely using Opus. GPT4 laziness is still a huge issue, it seems like Anthropic specifically trained Opus not to be lazy.

The UX of GPT4 is better, you can cancel chats/edit old chats, etc. But the raw model is behind. You have to expect that OpenAI is working on something big, and is not afraid of lagging behind Anthropic for a while.
I would be very careful about using the term "AI" here. It would be very concerning if generative AI was being used to construct "God's words". I think you're just using AI to find relevant passages, though. But you really should be explicit about it or just not mention AI at all.

Immigration Suppressing Wage Growth
Interesting spin on article, it talks how we have had booming employment growth, but without pressure on wage growth — and it seems likely from higher than usual immigration. They frame it as helping curb inflation, but I thought the wage price spiral wasn’t really the cause of recent price increases, and in fact suppressing wage growth would be pretty harmful for most earners?

Well, it was one factor. Digg had a lot of problems. The big rewrite went disastrously. It was one giant site with no real focus and one big comments section: it devolved into unmoderatable chaos. Sponsored posts probably weren't the straw that broke the camel's back.

This is how you get a four-week transition from "I can fix twitter search in an internship!" to "twitter search is unfixable." Ideally, a PhD teaches you to bust your behind doing a deep dive on a seemingly unsolvable problem for three-five years.

If only we could recalibrate ourselves to stop the search for easy money and remind ourselves that some problems are just genuinely hard.
"How do we solve problems?" - the core of software development - is an endless high-level topic that doesn't really require you to dive into specific code.

Do you use different ones for different tasks?
IDNs and Punycode were basically bolted-on extensions to DNS that were added after DNS was already widely deployed. Because there was no "proper" extension mechanism available, it was a design requirement that they can be implemented "on top" of the standard DNS without having to change any of the underlying components. So I think most of the DNS infrastructure can be (and is) still completely unaware that IDNs and Punycode exists.

Actually, I wonder what happens if you take a "normal" (i.e. non-IDN, ascii-only) domain and encode it as Punycode. Should the encoded and non-encoded domains be considered identical or separate? (for purposes of DNS resolutions, origin separation, etc)

Identical would be more intuitive and would match the behavior of domain names with non-ascii characters - on the other hand, this would require reworking of ALL non-punycode-aware DNS software, which I'm doubtful is possible.

So this seems like a tricky thing to get right.

Not joking, Ivy League graduates who might have went into finance, have started raising capital and funding small cash returning businesses. It is now seen as a legitimate career path, sometimes called a "search fund". An HBS graduate might aspire to buy and run a blue collar business as a way to understand the market.

There are private equity funds that might aquire 50 of these businesses at 2-5M each, roll them into an index, and sell the index. Same with doctors/dentist practices.

The financing of these businesses is so opaque.

> This is simply false, as I already explained.

I'm sorry but this is just wrong. Since you seem to like Shapiro's book more than traditional set theory books let me quote from page 144 that the existence of an uncountable set is a theorem of ZFC: "Let C be the statement of Cantor's theorem. It entails that the powerset
of the collection of finite ordinals is not countable. Since C is a theorem of
first-order ZFC..."

Also this is not how the metatheory is understood in mathematics, not even in Shapiro's book, who dedicates two whole chapters to the metatheory
Not just eating, but reproducing and seeking pleasure from anything they can.
You keep making vague references to concepts without showing how they even remotely contradict Cantors theorem. You explained to me the power set axiom, which, thanks, I guess? But I don’t understand what your point is. Are you claiming X is not in the power set of the natural numbers? X is, unambiguously, a set. And it is clearly a subset of A. Therefore, it is in the power set. If you don’t understand that, I think you need to review the power set axiom in ZFC. Then you said “Cantor's theorem stating that there is no mapping f from A onto P merely means that the mapping f itself can't exist inside a model of ZFC”. Which is literally identical to saying “under ZFC, there are uncountable sets”. You just don’t like it because that statement isn’t wrapped in eight layers of indirection with model theory.

I wrote my bachelor thesis on something tangential — basically, some researchers found that it was possible in some very specific circumstances to train a classifier to do author attribution (i.e. figure out who wrote the program) based just on the compiled binaries they produced. I don’t think the technique has been used for anything actually useful, but it’s cool to see that individual coding style survives the compilation process, so much so that you can tell one person’s compiled programs apart from another’s.

IMHO Claude 3 output is less corporate bullshit speak and more to the point. I prefer it over GPT-4. I feel like an adult when talking to Claude. GPT-4 tends to go off on a tangent quite often. I feel like a teenager stuck in a moronic conversation sometimes.
