The unfair bit is the filtering happening in your own brain. Without actual hard statistics, it's an anecdote. I don't care about scientific consensus, but I do care about process and data.

If I try it myself, it'll be done right, and I won't keep the stats in my head. I know how fallible my own perception is, and as somebody with an anxiety disorder, I know how easy it is to read patterns out of thin air. For some people, reading patterns that don't exist seems mystical or illuminating, for me, it's a sense of constant unease and fear. I can't be universally open to just accepting things, or reading patterns with my intuition, because my intuition is that everything is potentially poisonous and I'm definitely going to die in less than a week.
So this is kind of tangentially related here, but is there a "state-of-the-art" or best practices on digging through big JS apps / frameworks / objects? Ultimately this is all code running on my machine, so it feels like it should be accessible in the console somewhere.

I've had to do a fair amount of this with a Chrome extension I maintain that hooks in to routing (creating bike / running routes) sites, and fortunately these mostly use React and I'm decently familiar with how to hook in to that.

But is there a limit here? Is there a way to actually keep code from being inaccessible to the console (aside from obfuscation / compiling to wasm)?

Conway's Game of Hope
It's a speculative, blue-sky idea—as is the context discussion that's proposing to assemble space satellites in a remote desert for optimization reasons.

It's not technically implausible. Starship (upper-stage only) in principle has a very long hop range—it's almost an SSTO by itself [0]. In principle it could also support landing on non-spaceport facilities like deserts—after all it's explicitly designed for landing on the moon, in accordance with the NASA Artemis contract. Would SpaceX be thinking about trying long-range hops on Earth, as a testing mechanism? I'm not sure it'd be completely crazy to consider that.

Musk has extensively talked about the concept of Starship (full stack) as city-to-city passenger transport [1].

Much of YC’s content and outreach is clearly targeted towards college students and younger generations. There is little to no acknowledgement of those who may have gotten into tech later in life with aspirations to eventually start a venture.

It’s incredibly deflating, particularly with every new YC company that comes out of stealth reaffirming the idea that it’s almost entirely a young person’s game.
Yes, that sounds right, but it doesn't make the work less worthwhile or less interesting.

The authors do interesting things with the NFM, including explaining why pruning should even be possible and why we see grokking during learning. They also train a kernel machine iteratively, at each step alternating between (1) fitting the model's kernel matrix to the data and (2) computing the average gradient outer product of the model and replacing the kernel matrix with it. The motivation is to induce the kernel machine to "learn to identify features." The approach seems to work well, outperforming all previous approaches on tabular data.

PS. I've updated my comment to add these additional points.

One pattern I have seen in the UK is temporary manual car washes operating in former gasoline stations.

Firstly, the location, visibility and site layout are obviously perfect.

Secondly, the old brown-field gas station has sludge-filled underground tanks that cost a lot to remove, and do a full environmental clean-up. There are long delays to wait for a deep-pocketed developer, or for the site value to rise. In the meantime, lease it out to a bunch of enterprising migrants (in UK, often E.Europeans).
It also doesn't hurt to inherit just a few millions and combine it with hard work and luck if the alternative is just hard work and luck.

In practice the vast majority of designers are using Mac, so it's not like it not being cross platform was the problem.

The thing that made Sketch lose against Figma was that they never really tackled the issue of collaboration until Figma came along, leaving it for 3rd parties like Invision and others to solve.

Now they have most of the collaboration features they were missing, but by then it was too late and Figma had all the mindshare.

But if Figma keeps following this route, who knows. We might see Sketch grow in mindshare again.

The link between ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood is an entirely made up conspiracy theory. This is from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood#Outside_the...

> A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intelligence report from January 2017 warned that designation of the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization "may fuel extremism" and harm relations with U.S. allies. The report noted that the Brotherhood had "rejected violence as a matter of official policy and opposed al-Qa'ida and ISIS" and that while "a minority of MB [Muslim Brotherhood] members have engaged in violence, most often in response to harsh regime repression, perceived foreign occupation, or civil conflicts", designation of the organization as a terrorist group would prompt concern from U.S. allies in the Middle East "that such a step could destabilize their internal politics, feed extremist narratives, and anger Muslims worldwide."

The Muslim Brotherhood was democratically elected during the very brief time Egypt was a democracy. It is in fact the only democratically elected government Egypt has seen. You may say that the Nazis were also democratically elected, however the Muslim Brotherhood didn’t turn Egypt into a fascist dictatorship, that was al-Sisi, al-Sisi overthrew a democratically elected government in a violent coup, which involved a few massacres, including the Rabaa massacre which killed over a thousand people. If you are concerned about Egyptian terrorist groups, you can’t look past the al-Sisi government’s reign of terror.

ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood (and by extension Hamas) have a widely different ideology. The only thing that link them is that they are both Muslim organization and that Hamas (but not the Muslim Brotherhood) sometimes uses terrorism (but for very different reasons than ISIS). If not for the race factor, you could claim that Sinn Féin are also like ISIS and worse then the Nazis, and that a free Ireland would start WW3. This is—off course—ridiculous.

Your claim is at best very confused and ahistorical, and at worst it comes across as racist (in the “all Muslims are terrorists”-lite sense).
I have this exact same experience about every other time I walk into a grocery store as well. It's hard not to be in awe of the amount of time and effort that went into every single one of those thousands of products. Multiple people studied for years to learn the skills required to create a small part of just one of those products.

> I’ve some to see it as some kind of “spiritual awakening”, although I think those are really loaded words. But in essence a cultivation of a broader awareness of the inherent complexity and interconnectedness of everything we interact with.

Imagining the hordes of humans and machinery behind the simplest of products is truly awe inspiring.

Of course there's an XKCD for that. https://xkcd.com/676/
It’s not as if the OP can’t install a different OS that does support x64 processors. The OP is describing a Hackintosh, so there is no vendor lock in. For that matter, installing alternatives on x64 based Macs is also reasonably trivial and as Apple silicon matures, so does the reverse-engineering knowledge (much like it did with the ‘commodity’ PC components used for Linux today), and the vendor lock in issue disappears.
I would say it's heterogeneous, not a gradient, but I understand your point. However, my point is that inflationary monetary policy precludes cash savings forcing currency owners to take on additional risk to mitigate inflationary losses. Like the parent post points out, it incentivizes investment. If your currency is inflating at 5% per year, it becomes rational to buy an asset which depreciates at 4% per year. More generally, individuals and Society have to perpetually Gamble on growth in order to stay ahead of inflation.
For example, simplification of arithmetic expressions and propagating constants need to be combined (discovery of constants can allow further simplification, simplification can reach constant results).

With destructive updates you have to decide what variant has the last word (e.g. 2*a or a+a or a<<1), while an equality graph collects progress without heuristic and imprecise choices allowing equality saturation,
I guess in my case, there's just very little that I feel I have to watch. So a few streaming services is fine and every now and then I'll buy/rent something a la carte either digital or physical. And once in a great while I wish I had live TV but not enough to pay for it. (I can't get anything over the air.) So, overall, it feels like a vast improvement and much cheaper.

I didn't see the 2nd point but yes overall this clarifies.
> IMO it'd be sensible to let the markets set the interest rate.

Actually, markets do set most of the interest rates. The central bank only sets one (to be technically correct several) specific interest rate. Usually, this rate sets the price for short-term refinancing operations of private banks with the central banks. Obviously, other interest rates are influenced by this rate indirectly.

I guess the reason for this approach is that banks can react flexibly to high demand for central bank money (aka cash). For example, if people want to hold more cash suddenly, the central bank will swap cash with good assets from commercial banks (aka printing money) so that they can hand it out to them. With a fixed money supply, interest rates would skyrocket in this case. Just because I want to have more cash rather than see that number on my checking account doesn't make a difference economically and so it should also not influence the interest rate.
You cannot sensibly target M2 directly. You can target M0, but not M2. The interest rate is an indirect control on M2.

(This actually also applies in bitcoin! It's just that because bitcoin credit markets are extremely poorly developed the M2 is both much closer to the M0 and much harder to measure. There are also several completely uncontrolled dollar-flavoured tokens circulating on exchanges such as Tether.)

Why can't you control M2? Because issuance of credit is decentralized.

The hard money people would like to split out deposit-keeping (which would inevitably have to charge, not pay interest) and lending out (which would have to be limited to the amount of equity available, as it is to e.g. VC funds). This would make business credit, consumer credit, and mortgages much more expensive.

> designed to penalise anyone who tries to preserve wealth in actual cash

These people are a tiny minority of outliers and trying to force up the cost of credit, on which the real economy runs, to benefit them is pointless.

(also, the Japanese system rewarded cash holders! Bank depositors got paid nothing: https://moneykit.net/en/guide/yen/

> visiting their friends, families and having constant stream of guests over.

Except that these sorts of visitations / gatherings become far less frequent in suburban settings unless you have the good fortune to have many of your friends / family living close to you.

I live in SoCal, which is far denser than many other parts of the US and despite this, the sprawl is immense - far greater than many other large cities of the world. It doesn't help that public transport is a joke as it takes hours and hours to get anywhere using that and you'd still need a car anyway for the last mile or so if you're heading into a suburb somewhere.

Living in a suburb isn't all bad, it has its perks but it 100% takes a significant toll on your social life for most people I know and have known. I've lived in NYC and other "proper" cities before and this is actually one of the things I miss most about life there - it made it way easier to spontaneously get together after work or on the weekends because of the smaller and much easier commutes.
Most of the "predictions" you'd make using it, when discovered, were wrong. it is a deeply unpredictive formula, being useless for predicting vast classes of problems (since we are largely ignorant about the masses involved, and cannot compute the dynamics beyond a few anyway).

Science is explanatory, not "predictive" -- this is an antique mistake.

As for 'math models' insofar as these are science, they arent math. They use mathematical notation as a paraphrase for english, and the english words refer to the world.

F=GMM/r^2 is just a summary of "a force occurs in proportion to the product to two masses and inversely in proportion to their square distance"

note: force, mass, distance, etc. <- terms which describe reality and its properties; not mathematics.
I've encountered the same bemusing behavior, with Copilot helping more accurately with coding tasks, and I've started to think of it as akin to "personalities."

You don't go to your painter friend and ask them for coding help, much like you don't go to the general-purpose GPT; you'd go to the Copilot, who enjoys programming tasks or whatever.

Can GPT help? Sure. But the skeletons, rough jumping-off points, etc. all scream to me "I'm not going to do your homework for you," which I love.

In the end, both have been immensely helpful, but I use them for different things.
I'm not talking about OCI images (again, that's the _output_).
I'm talking about how they are built.
OCI images are OCI images, they get extracted the same way no matter if there's conflicting paths or not.

What I'm saying here through multiple different threads is, buildkit and nix build things the same way.
`docker build` is not just a Dockerfile builder, its actually a grpc service (with services running on both the docker CLI and in the daemon).
This service is actually very generic.
It includes builtin support for Dockerfiles, which just converts the Dockerfile format into what buildkit calls "LLB", which is analogous to LLVM IR.

What I'm also saying is, people are comparing "docker build" with a Dockerfile that's using a package manager that's not even provided by docker to nix.
This is not an apples to apples comparison, and in fact you can implement nix packaging using buildkit (https://github.com/reproducible-containers/buildkit-nix).

I'm also saying that `Dockerfile` does actually support merging dependencies without being order dependent (this is `COPY --link`).
But also, you can drive buildkit operations without going through Dockerfile. You can also plug in your own format with the `syntax=<some/image>` at the top of your file.
This isn't "convert to dockerfile", its "convert to LLB", which is all the Dockerfile frontend does.

Finally, I'm saying nix isn't in and of itself some magic tool to have a reproducible build.
You still have to account for all the same things.
What it does do, at a package management level, is make it easier to not have dependencies that change automatically over time (which has its own plusses and minuses).
They were hella spammy about devmode too, spamming me with marketing mail about it and denying it was marketing. Shady
Unless you're very early (and/or very lucky), you can't get "rich" (i.e., can choose never to work again and can invest in many other things) as an employee (though of course a highly-paid employee can become very well off and comfortable).

Yes you need to be lucky to get super-rich as a founder too, but you have a lot more control, i.e., you make the primary decisions that determine whether the company will make good products that people will use/buy.
PG is remarkably consistent in his advice; much of his writing is about developing a nose for "what's missing" and having the chops and resources to attempt a solution.

Also, I think 'Google' in this instance is more for motivation rather than a literal comparison. He's leaving out the part that Google was founded by graduate CS students a) looking for a thesis, b) into node-link graphs, and c) inspired by academic citation metrics. Would PG advise anyone to go to grad school to learn how to find scientific-discovery-based startup ideas these days?
Of course they are? If you train in a different order, start with different weights, or change the gradient delta amount, different things will emerge out of an otherwise exactly the same NN.

You can see this out of videos where people train a NN to do something multiple times and each time, the NN picks up on something slightly different. Slight variances in what is fed as inputs during training can cause actually high variation in what is picked up on.

I’m getting decently annoyed with HNs constant pretending that this is all just “magic”.
Playing with Code: Programming-Adjacent Games
You should be able to fully inspect all traffic originating from your device and reverse-engineer everything running on it, so any change that makes it harder for others to stop you from doing so is a good one.
You should separate your long-term and near-term storage and treat them as different backup projects. For the near-term that you are backing up weekly and thus likely need to recover faster and easier in an emergency, borg -> backblaze with your own keys.

For the long-term backups that sound more sentimental, the "put lots of 6 TiB HDDs from different manufacturers in safe places" becomes more feasible when you don't have to update it weekly and when it is OK to wait a few days until so you can drive to a relative's house after a disaster. But you also have to test those drives every now and then.

I have a bunch of long-term drives at my parents' house a 5 hour flight away, but I visit them every winter and do a test every year. If I needed those today, it might cost me $1000 to drop everything and get on a plane. But if I'm visiting every winter and it isn't really urgent, I can wait. You should think of those kinds of costs too.
It's misleading and poor advice to children. You see this issue a lot in certain immigrant communities where the equivalent "talk" might be: "How to become a Doctor [and be rich and successful]". Becoming a doctor is orders of magnitudes more in an individual's control but even _then_ we observe the plethora of issues that occur.
It's a simple question: how do they enforce the law or do they not?
