> your position on suburbia and meeting people not from your circle isn't (which is fine, you can be social conservative and still think social mixity is good for conserving the social strucure/status quo).

Given that I belong to many conservative urban clubs, I'm going to say that while urbanism tends to be a 'left-wing' issue, there's quite a lot of urbanism on the right too. More than you'd expect. For example, strong towns leans conservative (I think); the new polity podcast (traditional Catholic) has a bunch of episodes on urbanism; even Tucker carlson has gone on rants about ugly suburbia.

The truth about American politics is that random issues end up getting lumped into 'left' or 'right' and then, due to feedback cycles, become predominantly associated with one or the other. My point in bringing up my politics was (1) to show that I'm approaching this from a perhaps underrepresented viewpoint on this forum, and (2) to express my confusion as to why 15 minute cities are not a conservative issue (and like I said there are some smaller groups that have taken it up).

Finally, the reason I continue to say that I'm a conservative in these discussions is because I basically disagree with the vast majority of liberal urbanists. We agree on the results desired, but their methods are often toxic, unapproachable, and xenophobic in my viewpoint. I've directly butted heads with many at our local transit hearings. I truly don't see eye-to-eye with them on large portions of policy. One of the big issues right now in my city is the prioritization of 'diversity and equity' over actually building transit that works for everyone.

I am not sure of what happened, and it must have been unpleasant, but someone going up on your website hierarchy, they reach https://commutative.xyz/~miguelmurca/, they click the only link, and you personally list your profiles there, including email, github and insta. It is OK if someone contacts you for whatever reason on addresses and profiles that you explicitly shared.

This is rude, it looks bad in the article, and you are the one who doesn't follow basic netiquette.
But then what does "actual value" means if you can never ever buy it at that price ?

The same way you posit the vendor price can't be taken at face value, the buyer's price can't be the measure either (my wife's totally willing to buy my trinket for the sum of all of our possessions. That makes it quite a valuable thing right ?)

I can understand why Nokia might have sued these companies because all of them make phones/hardware and there could even be legitimate patent infringements.

I am confused why they sued Reddit though. They don't make any hardware.
No, if you can enable TLS and HTTP/2|3, you are only technically using a single browser connection, onto which multiple logical connections can be multiplexed.

I think the article calls this out. There is still a limit on the number of logical connections, but it's an order of magnitude larger.
There’s a good chance some or all 7 will see people walk on the moon reasonably soon.

Artemus 3 is scheduled for September 2026, that can clearly slip but a 2.5 year deadline suggests it is unlikely to slip that far or get canceled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_3 IMO 80% chance it happens within 6 years and 95% chance they actually land on the moon successfully.

Without a firm date it’s hard to have a specific plan, but it may be worth actually going and seeing that launch.
How timely, I use KDE and recently decided to give Wayland a try which meant rewriting some of my existing xdotool scripts as KWin scripts. Since they are written in JavaScript and the documentation for scripts isn't exactly comprehensive, it was an overall poor experience, but at least it worked eventually and without taking too much of my time.

Unfortunately, it seems with the upgrade to Plasma6 (which I got immediately since I'm on Arch) KDE broke completely and I had to switch to XFCE...

> Well, bitcoin shows you exactly what to expect in such a situation: it makes a terrible currency that nobody ever wants to spend.

Long before bitcoin, Gresham's Law already said that, given the choice between spending soft money and hard, people will spend the soft and hold the hard.

If the grocery store and tax man accepted Monopoly's in-game currency, I would likewise expect people to spend that before U.S. currency or bitcoin.
The movement was much more dynamic than the CoDs from the time, the 3-dimensional fights reminded me much more of the time I played Unreal Tournament and Quake than any CoD and much less CS that I used to play competitively from the betas to 1.6.

So yeah, completely disagree with your take.
I recently wrote a version of this that I use in my projects, some things I do differently that you may or may not care about:

- from your code it seems you're not sorting kwargs, I would strongly recommend sorting them so that whether you call f(a=1, b=2) or f(b=2, a=1) the cache key is the same

- I use inspect.signature to convert all args to kwargs, this way it doesn't matter how a function gets called, the cache logic is always consistent. I know this is relatively slow but it only gets called once per function (I call it outside the wrapper) and the DX benefits are nice (in this same note, you could probably move the inspect.getsource call outside your wrapper fn for a speed boost)

I also took the opposite approach to ignore_params, and made the __dict__ params that get hashed opt-in, which works well when caching instance methods
This is such a stupid argument, capitalism has also failed everywhere it's been attempted. The US is a mixed economy and the socialist bits have saved our asses multiple times. China is also a mixed economy so the only thing that really matters is whether you market the ideas you took from capitalism or the ideas you took from socialism.

No one is left arguing for Socialism as a centrally planned entirely state controlled economy, just tweaks to our current system to add additional interventions to combat markets' natural propensity to consolidate wealth. Making it so that only employees are shareholders isn't some crazy radical thing, the current system is to levy heavy taxes to recirculate wealth back down from the top. But come on capitalist, do you really think that centrally planned government spending is the best way to do that?
Any process that I'm aware of that uses yeast for something feeds the yeast, multiplying it and making it stronger. "Waste" brewer's yeast is more accurate, right?

Canonical currently uses this "psychometric test" as a decisive critera for candidates

https://www.thomas.co/sites/default/files/2019-08/GIA-Exampl...

And from their own words "they take it very seriously".

The result is exactly what you would expect of this kind of test. It is unsurprisingly utter rubbish.

It asks the candidate to solve "important cognitive tasks" and translate that to substract 2 number as fast as possible, identify letters as fast as possible or rotate an image as fast as possible.

I would honestly be curious to know how anybody with a functional brain can believe 5 seconds that this can be an important selection criteria for a senior software engineer, a SRE or an engineering manager.

Is the goal suppose to be identifying the best human-based GPUs ?

I wonder how many top talents they lost in early selection process due to this kind of garbage.

You seem to be missing the point:

There should exist no single person with the amount of economic power that Buffet has.

That is economic power that someone else DOESNT have that they are creating but not capturing

With the only argument being “but they have a contract” - totally ignoring that contracts are based on laws and capital writes the laws
> Without the culture that tooling much be hard, rather developers are users as well.

I don't follow this. Could you elaborate?

I think the current culture is that tooling must be smart, accessible, and very well written, e.g rust (cargo, rustc, clippy, rust-analyzer), go coming with everything, same for gleam. Even zig is a better build system for C programs than most buildsystems for C.

> All your questions will be answered by reading, chapter 4 of Prudhon “What is property?”

> If you want things to be better than the stone ages then stop acting like “might makes right” is an ethical position, its “stone age” philosophy that needs to end

I did not advocate that as an ethical position - you're imputing that to me. I deny you the right to tell me what my ethical position is. And you should stop trying, not just because you don't have the right, but also because you're lousy at it.

I'm done with the conversation, since you seem quite clearly to be uninterested in listening. I will leave you the last word if you want it.

I don't understand your points. Obviously the person was stating their anecdotal experience and how it made them feel. We engage in similar reasoning. We make decisions and draw conclusions based on our experience. It's a not a mathematical proof where the person is proving that the entire field is toxic. They are glad they got out of there.
Well, it's not that he is the dark lord but rather that he is so far ahead of the curve in the craft of mathematical modeling in physics (he won the Fields Medal) that he can easily solve a lot of actual mundane problems but he chooses not to. Incidentally this seems to be the legacy of String Theory after 50 years, a powerful tool for mathematical modeling in physics and not a direct road to the ToE.

So, when you come up to him as a fellow theoretical physicist and criticize his "platonic" stance his reply would be - if he is bothered at all to answer: "Ah, so the thing you are working on, did you try ... gives essentially an elegant mathematical solution to your theoretical problem that you were trying to solve for months."

Of course this is embedded in an institutional failing - namely funding throughout the 50 years.

But as Planck - who found himself reluctantly in the middle of a turning point - remarked on how insurmountable institutions and the persons associated with it can become: Science progresses funeral by funeral.

On this note: Ed Witten's dad a theoretical physicist himself, still lives at the ripe age of 102.

> And this is precisely the problem - a nothingburger and the radical idea of having facilities closer to where you live have been spun into outrage fuel, which you seem to have at least partially swallowed.

Again for me, as a conservatively-minded person, I also naturally tend to be against anything that seems like central planning. Central planning is the main reason we're in this mess to begin with. Even modern 'urban' developments are so mind-bogglingly awful it's hard to understand what people think they're going to get (California forever comes to mind...). I'm totally behind the idea of convenient cities. Instead of committees to centrally plan it, let's talk about building normal sized roads (a government responsibility) and eliminating permitting and parking requirements so owners get to use their land. That's the way normal cities get built.

So while I absolutely support the idea of 15 minute cities, I find my natural reaction to many of the proponents of the idea to be wariness. I mean, all too often, I've been burnt by agreeing with someone only to then have them pivot immediately into the evils of capitalism, colonialism, etc. There absolutely is a problem with 'activists' in these circles, and they've hindered a lot of progress.

it's depressing as hell, actually.
> Gold is also a terrible currency in today's world, that's why it has been abandoned by everyone during the last century.

Open to question how bad though; there isn't really such a thing as a good currency. If the argument is that the US dollar is the best we have it is a bit of a disaster; it can't even be used to compare values over a 12 month span, the inflation is significant. And as I recall the abandoning done in the US was because because Nixon said the US government wasn't winning the game and flipped the table as opposed to any fair process, vote or even market consensus that gold was a bad idea.

I'd agree if the argument was to anchor currency value to an energy commodity to preserve some sort of $/Joule energy measure. That'd be really helpful for using money to track value. I'm still not sure why people are so unhappy at the idea of using money to track some constant amount of value.
> but IMO it'd be sensible to let the markets set the interest rate. The evidence that markets are weak at setting interest rates is itself quite flimsy.

But that's what's happening (at least with the Fed, it's difference for ECB): the federal funds rate is actually a market rate! What the Fed does is that it sets two other rates that act as a ceiling (the discount rate) and a floor (the deposit rate) for the Federal funds rate. And then the Fed decides a target rate for the Federal funds market, that fits with their inflation target. If you remove the Fed out of the equation (just for this aspect of their intervention), the the Federal funds rate will move freely but then you have no guarantees that you'd have decent level of inflation…
That's a case of shipping it 'broken' for those people.

If it works literally everywhere else, and the product is valuable, they'll change.

Patents don't have to relate to hardware or even any product. With software patents, you can get a patent for an idea, and now anyone else who comes up with that idea has to pay you money, despite never having seen or heard of your patent. Software patents are purely an extortion racket, they do not create new ideas or encourage innovation, they only place artificial restrictions. Nokia probably has some garbage patent like "put text on a screen," but dressed up in fancy language, so now they're suing whoever looks like they might have money.

Honestly, anyone who holds a software patent should be shunned from the industry.

>You most certainly don't take away the sweatshop and watch the family starve.

Doesn't history show this is precisely the solution people choose? It makes themselves feel like they have done good, and as for the increased harm (kids working even worse 'jobs' than a sweatshop), well that isn't their fault so they don't need to feel bad, assuming they even find out about the negative effects of their decision?
Fair enough. I broadly agree with you that it's important to have people who agree with you in your life to not feel lonely. Good luck!
Show HN: Hypersplit – Like Infinite Craft but in reverse
Hypersplit is like Neal's Infinite Craft but turned upside down. Instead of crafting your way up from the four elements, you start big and go small, down to quarks.

It's using GPT-4 to split the words, but a big difference from Infinite Craft is that I can precalculate the possible paths since they are limited (sooner or later you hit a quark or a loop). This means that I can ship it with the whole dictionary locally instead of hitting an LLM every split.

While it started with just the splitting, I quickly got the urge to split things faster... which turned the app into the incremental clicker it is now. It's pretty short and starts lagging a lot once things get crazy with a lot of chain reactions (turning off Effects helps a bit), but I plan to focus on optimizations next.

I also wanted to try and build something without any graphical assets. The whole game is all just emojis and CSS. A big gotcha is that you can't rely on emojis looking the same on different platforms (for example, on Windows, the explosions are misaligned).
> Vulkan lets you run compute shaders written in GLSL, HLSL, or any language for which there exists a compiler that outputs SPIR-V.

Context: I am interested in writing GPU-code as well (for ML too, but also for custom physic simulation). I also think, that compute-shaders are the way to go. But my intution says, that openCL would be simpler than vulcan.

Question: Have you considered alternatives to vulcan's compute shaders? (e.g. opencl instead of vulcan, or maybe some other ways entirely to run GPU code, such as rust-gpu)

my 2 cents:

understanding is getting know what it is.

understanding really well is getting know what it isn't.

A "stochastic parrot" can emulate a topic really well, until you push the limits and it fails at corner cases. If a model "understand really well" then it knows exactly where the boundaries are.
They cannot handle immaterial concepts such as goodness, truth, justice, etc. because such concepts are not reducible to material components. They cannot abstract at all, because to abstract something is to consider it in a universal way, leaving the material parts behind. Computers are fundamentally material, and so cannot handle any kind of immaterial concepts.
