You're starting all three promises, then waiting for the first one to finish, then waiting for the next one, then waiting for the last one. But because they were all started at the same time, they'll be run in parallel.

Whereas if you started one promise, waited for it to finish, then started the next and so on, it would take the three seconds as they won't be run in parallel.

The code you've written can be seen as a "poor-man's" Promise.all, in the sense that it's doing roughly the same thing but less clearly. It also behaves slightly differently in terms of rejections: if the final promise in the Promise.all version rejects immediately, then the whole promise will fail immediately. However, in your version, if the final promise rejects, that rejection won't be evaluated by the await (and therefore thrown) until all the other tasks have completed.

For reasons of clarity and correctness, therefore, it's usually better to just use Promise.all rather than awaiting a list of already-started promises in sequence.
This is why Decimal exists:

Python 3.8.10 (default, Nov 22 2023, 10:22:35)
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> Decimal('100000.000000000017')
Decimal('100000.000000000017')

For example:

>>> import json
>>> json.loads('{"a": 100000.000000000017}')
{'a': 100000.00000000001}
>>> json.loads('{"a": 100000.000000000017}', parse_float=Decimal)
{'a': Decimal('100000.000000000017')}
Which is not incompatible with what the title said.

# Why me?

I have been working in IT for the past 12 years and I enjoy exploring new fields, so I have a rather broad experience, as well as a holistic view of technology. I have work experience in QA, tech, management and design, and I worked in the medical, automotive, adtech, health tech, entertainment and video game industry across the world (in 9 different countries). I co-founded 2 companies and was the CTO of one which got acquired by my current employer.

Together with my academic and professional experience, I also bring a positive, fun and easy-going attitude to the teams I join. As well as lots of amazing recipes from all over the world.

----

# What I am looking for

Looking for a Staff/Lead position to grow into a Technical Manager role. I love working with CEO/CTO and Design teams to help them create PoCs for exploring new products/offerings, as well as troubleshooting tough issues and improving the performance of other developers and their experience (DevEx). Time flexibility and high-trust environment is something I found to need for thriving in my work.

----

# Hobbies

Traveling around the world (currently visited 80 countries and lived in 15), cooking, whittling and hiking.

----

# Notes

When contacting mention HN for visibility. Transparency, especially with salary, is a crucial aspect for me to build initial trust.

> He's built a career on cargo cult practices that destroy software developers.

That's a very strong statement for which I don't believe you have the data to back it up. He (or his practices) has not 'destroyed' software developers. Not sure if you were working in the pre-agile era, I do agree some shops take to the extreme, but what we had before was a complete mess.
You are complaining about the first paragraph. The second and third paragraphs are about YoY growth rate.

I do try to write clearly, but I think you've replied thoughtlessly.
There's also a rapidly increasing amount of social disapproval of people who drive Teslas, which I suspect will increasingly limit Tesla purchases to that subset who doesn't care what people think.
Well, we can also say that we expect air traffic controllers generate at least their $132k/ year in value. Crossing guards seem to have a similar role and in theory could be generating the same value, but at the margin they're probably not - you'd expect hiring another one would be worth some significant fraction of the $132k to railway companies, but they're not competing to hire more of them.

So if AI enables every unskilled worker to produce $132k of value instead of $33k, who gets the $99k surplus? Marxist economics teaches us that in a capitalist society, without additional state intervention, the employer gets all of it. Too bad for the worker.

The good news, though, is that most labour economists wouldn't go as far as Marx. In modern societies the working man seems to get at least some benefit from productivity gains that don't come directly from him working harder. And even if you do believe Marx, note the caveat about "without state intervention". The modern state has many tools to intervene and is not afraid to use them: taxes, minimum wage laws, mandating bullshit jobs. In this scenario, doubling minimum wage wouldn't hurt economic productivity - the workers are all producing $132k of value, so not a single one will be laid off if they need to be paid $66k each.

Of course, there are some coordination problems to solve...

I'm a Software Engineer of ~6 years with a focus on Front-End Development, but moving towards Full-Stack in my day-to-day work. I’m passionate about delivering quality user experiences both on the UI and API level. I’m interested in fine tuning performance, and making sure that the development experience is just as great in my teams, as the user’s. My main interests are healthcare products, and developer tooling / any tools that could be used during the development process. (Ex.: Task boards, CI, Design tools, and many more!). Open hearing any offers though. I have experience working with teams from early stage startups through companies collaborating between time zones, with large engineering teams. Send me a message if you think I could be a good addition to your team!

This true. There are so many bugs with it, it's almost like the people prioritising bugs and features either don't actually have to use it, or aren't promoted based upon delivering a produce that isn't complete shit but instead by tying to another completely unrelated Microsoft product that no one who uses it wants.

Performance is still abysmal.

Ted Chiang put it best - "most fears about A.I. are best understood as fears about capitalism."

So long as the dominant theology in this country is extractive capitalism, nothing that tilts the cost balance towards capital and away from labor will be good for the middle class or the average person.
In practice, is there anything different between a king and someone who was born into a wealthy family? Not really. We might have severed the idea of divinity choosing who receives these resources (plenty of billionaires praise god of course for their success all that being said) but we have not done anything about the issue of a small chosen few accumulating the bulk of the gains of our productivity.
Make sure you drive those vehicles before you commit. I've driven the IONIQ6 and the Mach-E and would consider them inferior to the Model 3 in many ways, but you might not. (I'm looking to give Rivian a try at some point to see what all the hype's about; looks like a great vehicle.)
> Additionally, the notion of a middle class relies on a wage differential. If AI levels the playing field so dramatically, the notion of middle class will entirely evaporate since everyone's purchasing power equalizes.

Yup, and that is going to be the defining problem of the next decade - IMHO even more than climate change and most other environmental issues.

The lower classes aren't going to be threatened by AI, not for a looong time until we get "I, Robot"/Star Trek TNG Data-like robots with precision dexterity comparable to a human. The jobs they do aren't automatable at all, have been automated long ago so it's not an issue any more (most of manufacturing, mining) or human labor will be cheaper than a robot replacing it (which is sad enough - shouldn't automation actually free the masses from toiling in hard and rewardless jobs?).

The higher classes (depending on definition, usually the 1-10 top % of wealth) aren't going to be threatened by AI either. Those who have the money have the power after all, and almost everyone with a fully paid off home and a second one to rent out should be set even for the worst cases.

But the wide masses? Realistically, as you said most of them will fall to lower classes in income and lifestyle, and a very few luckshotters (="AI prompt engineers") manage to raise up. We've seen in the last decade or so just how powerful and reactionary the search of these masses for a scapegoat for their externally-caused misfortune can be, and it can take on a lot of different forms: nationalism to far-right xenophobia, antisemitism, anti-muslim, anti-intellectual ("antivaxxers", a ton of "homeschoolers")... that's a lot to take on even for a stable society, and external influence (enemy nation propaganda, financially motivated propaganda such as the Macedonian troll farms hunting for ad placements, domestic media moguls) makes it even worse.

Honestly I have zero idea how the fuck humanity is supposed to continue to exist as a civilization longer than 10-20 years. Even the best of our democracies are falling apart not just at the fringes (you always had and will have loons) but in the center.
"when examining only those who passed the exam (i.e. licensed or license-pending attorneys), GPT-4’s performance is estimated to drop to 48th percentile overall, and 15th percentile on essays."

Generally speaking, this is an oxymoron.
That adelaide article claims that meat was a staple pre-agriculture, but doesn’t do much to back it up.

Studies of feces appear to indicate plant consumption was high. There’s also one I came across on Neanderthal diet 50k years ago that suggests they ate more plant stuff than previously thought.

Yes. Most people will be seen as unneeded occupants by the rich elite. A world with only a few million is desired by them. Workers are no longer needed. Low and middle class people are waste.
It really is amazing how the country decided to do two things simultaneously:

1) Create a world order heavily dependent on globalization wherein the international economy has very little redundancy and relies heavily on one country's dominance in security and economic matters to keep everyone more-or-less happy

2) Make the revenues needed to maintain such a world order impossible to get because of a flat-out refusal to pay taxes on profits accrued from such a world order
Can you cite some countries that haven't seen any wage stagnation and have actually seen wages grow linearly with productivity? I certainly can't think of any. Wage stagnation is endemic in the western world at least.

20+ years of experience building and deploying web apps mostly as a contract worker but have FT experience too. I've worked with solo developers to 9 figure businesses.

For the last ~10 years I've focused a lot on deployment and infrastructure / SRE / platform type of work to create pipelines and solutions to help developers build and deploy things faster and more reliably without cutting corners on security or quality control. This includes fully building out and managing cloud infrastructure to run an assortment of applications both on 1 server with Docker Compose to scaling Kubernetes clusters.

I've built a few SAAS apps with Flask and Rails and understand the expected surrounding tech / knowledge around building, scaling, debugging and profiling database driven web apps. I have a preference for doing infrastructure related work but I consider myself a developer at heart.

I'm comfortable working alone or with a team and have a lot of experience chatting with vendors, giving demos, etc. and I never want to stop getting my hands dirty when it comes to writing code and implementing things. I've also written over a million words worth of technical documentation and blog posts, recorded hundreds of technical videos, have over 100+ episodes recoded in a technical podcast and created / maintain a number of ~1k+ star open source projects.

Right, max/median net worth is about 1000000:1, there is lots of room between 1000000:1 and 1:1.

The problem is that for the people on the 1000000 end of the spectrum, the same mechanics that encourage investment in productive activities also encourage investment in corruption, as they make no distinction between the two. With hundreds of billions in present-value-of-future-cash-flows at stake, almost any expenditure is justified. The laws of economics say that for you lobbying is a hobby, but for them it's a job with ROI (a whole office full of jobs, in fact). That's a steep advantage to overcome, but we've done it before and we'll do it again.

Because:

- Tesla's not a garbage car; in fact, I prefer it over every other EV I've driven so far, and I've driven several. Our Model 3s are super fun to drive.

- The Supercharger network truly makes charging an afterthought. This is not the case at all with non-Tesla EVs, unfortunately. Of course, this is irrelevant if you mostly charge at home and don't road trip your car very often.

- There is no-one or nothing close to Tesla's in-car experience. The app is incredible, the UX on Tesla's system is second-to-none (systems on every other EV that haven't yet just given up and went to Google Automotive is kludgey as hell)

- FSD is not fully self-driving but it is, by far, the best autonomous driving experience possible, especially with its most current iteration (FSD 12). I hardly drive when I use it, which is all of the time.

> and if you have a completely efficient market then nobody can extract any profits because competition drives margins to zero…

That's nonsense. It's not just businessmen that compete for consumer's money. Consumers compete for businessmen's money as well.

Suppose a widget-making enterprise made 3% profit on it's capital. What's the sensible thing a widget maker should do? Obviously, fire his employees, sell or scuttle his machines, turn everything into cash and turn the cash into 4.313% treasury bonds.

And the destruction of widget-making machines and enterprises shall continue until widgets sell at a margin that justifies their existence. And if nobody can afford widgets at the that price, there shall be no more widgets.

I find it amazing how people can talk about capitalism, without any understanding of the concept of capital, it's formation and destruction.

The main point of disagreement I have with this is that I don't think the notion that your senses and reality are not always perfectly in sync implies that your perception of free will is false. There's a lot of approximating that goes into taking sensory input and generating an experience, that doesn't invalidate your experience of making decisions.

Also, your doubt in your own free will isn't free, it has a cost. Is that doubt serving you in some way to offset that?
