but i can't live in a stock. i can't rent out a stock for somebody else to live in. i can't burn down a stock. i can't hide in a stock from the police. i can't find a dark place inside my stock to cry. i can't take a hot bath in a stock. i can't cook three meals a day in a stock. i can't sit at my desk all day and make a tech salary in a stock. i can't raise kids in a stock. i can't sleep in one. i can't start an ecommerce business in a stock. can't sell drugs in a stock. i can't walk inside a stock i can't fuck in one i can't even kill myself in a stock.

i can't i can't i can't give this argument any energy.

This is great news, I’d love to see it included in paid subscriptions. I think Proton does the right thing building fully functional alternative to Google/Microsoft/Apple apps.

People like me don’t want to spread the butter over a dozen of different vendors, but at the same time paying for this type of service to a hardware or advertising firm doesn’t make sense. Neither I want my data to be managed by US-based company, so it’s quite a natural choice. That said, I hope Proton will find the right balance between cost of subscription and investment in R&D. Sometimes it feels like they are not moving fast enough - as much as I’d love to start using Calendar or Drive, they are just not usable yet.
He's spoken about this in length. When it actually happened it did feel like a bit out of nowhere though, but makes sense in the engineering mindset to get it out of the way clear before fanning out to other areas, regardless of the hard-to-estimate ETA's for those features (talking payments, "mega-app"-like features, different ways of integrating Grok, possible new UI flows for YouTube/Twitch-like fronts etc)
Totally agree. That's what I like about the way e.g. beancount does it [1]. Instead of using the debit/credit nomenclature, it just relies on positive and negative numbers. This way all the legs in a transaction just sum to zero, making it easy to spot if something is off. In the example, you'd have -5 Income (it's coming from income) and +5 Assets (it's going to Assets). The left side is typically negative and the right side positive.

I emailed them. I live I'm SF. This is the sake, solved, problem we have in the machine tool world (milling machines, lathes, etc). Similar to old keyboards, you can just buy and use a floppy emulator.

They emailed me back, they said that the floppy thing makes a good headline but is really just the tip of the iceberg. It's really the whole system that's like this at every layer, it needs replacing they say.
something has to be going on nationally because rents even in 2nd and 3rd tier cities are also high (like 1st tier high). there should be some financial benefit to living in a less popular, lower population place that has less access to a great diversity of foods or an art/music scene.
Interesting - I've used Standard Notes since 2019 and, more recently, become a Proton user. Both products have a similar, well designed, feel and make encryption easier to daily drive. SN in particular is just a really well-designed notes app.

After being burned by acquisitions in the past, I sincerely hope we see both products improve each other.

Yes, there are literally more than 80,250 (MetLife stadium's capacity) fans of boxing in the US. However e.g. the Kingdom Arena (location of Fury v. Ngannaou) seats about 30,000. If there were a 17 week boxing match season in the US, it clearly would be a much smaller draw than gridiron football, and that doesn't even include the college game, which has 8 stadiums that seat over 100k (and 6 more that are larger than MetLife).
I tried all I can run on an RTX 3080 Ti, but none got close for the kind of basic tasks I like to outsource to an LLM. Which would you recommend for mostly node/react/python/php work?

I do have a 4090 available at work, if the extra 8GB vRAM makes a big difference. The task I used as a test case was converting existing PHP & JS code (views and controllers) with static texts to files with dynamic translation references.
Hi Orphea! Guilty as charged we kinda rushed this landing page for our TechCrunch announcement and haven't been able to come back to optimize it. I haven't heard of stuttering before now, but maybe something quirky is happening with your combination of browser/OS/CPU.

The Productive Dad's Guide to Newborn Babies
When we expected our first child I looked for advice on Hackernews. Is there a way to still be productive with the baby around?

Couldn't find any advice so hacked together a system that worked well. Got to sleep 8 hours per day, had a happy infant, enjoyed ourselves, and did our life’s work during the first six weeks.

Hope it's useful to other new or future dads!
This is what happens when the repercussions for poor performance/failure is more money. Privatization, with some regulations, and reduction of monopolies, seems like a good idea. But, the system will never choose to harm itself.

The real endgame in this space would be a tool that first generates a song layout, think Fruityloops, then the corresponding instruments for it, then the vocals, and as the last step allows you to modify each of those layers without nuking the rest. Imagine something similar to what Suno does now, except you had the ability to add in an extra verse without altering the rest of the song, swap out a few passages of the lyrics with the rest staying in tact, swapping out drums for a different drum set etc.
I place equal blame on the fighters who keep throwing punches at someone who is obviously out. If they don't have the self control to stop then they have no business learning martial arts.

They simply aren’t necessary at all. It’s that illegal aliens (they aren’t migrants) can be used as slave labor, lest they’re deported.

You can easily pay a US citizen $10/hr. They’d prefer $5/hr.

The cost of the overall product is low margin, but not so low margin they can’t afford the extra few dollars per hour a head.

Yeah, I train Muay Thai and I've never gotten into watching MMA for similar reasons. I don't even really like all the "entertainment" Muay Thai with 4oz gloves that One has been promoting, it feels like they really want the blood and higher risk of injury to draw a crowd. I recently was watching some more traditional, older Muay Thai fights with a friend who doesn't train, and they found it somewhat boring, probably because they're not seeing what someone that has trained is seeing. In entertainment Muay Thai I've seen refs let knees to the head slide when it's clear the person is already knocked out and they're on their way to the canvas.

Recently there was an interview with Takrowlek Dejrat [1] and he talks about how defense was something that they spent a lot of time with first as kids training, which is different than this generation of fighters. Which I find to be true in my own training, I often feel like working on defense is something we only drill as an after-thought to offense.

> I doubt you'd have had the same initial response if I'd said 'decision makers in the security and intelligence branches of the civil service'.

I doubt I'd have had the same response if you'd used any kind of phrasing that demonstrated the most basic level of competence in the subject matter. Talking about "the military arm of the deep state" is like claiming to understand aerospace engineering and then talking unironically with a straight face about "the spinny thing on the front of the plane."
Some points:

- The judges just score the match and sit outside the ring. They do not have the power to stop a fight. The referee is supposed to intervene.

- It's a common misconception that fight referees belong to the UFC. For fights, an athletic commission is responsible for refereeing. In most fights, this is the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

- The UFC has been quite vocal and registered many formal complaints with NSAC when a referee allowed too many punches before stopping a fight. There was that referee that I'll only mention by first name, so I don't get sued: Steve.

- It is my opinion that professional MMA fighters need some sort of independent organization that oversees their well-being and assures they get proper medical care. It should be funded from fight profits. Things like what's happened to Spencer Fisher should not be happening.

You hit the nail on the head, there. Facebook et al represented a large enough timesink / extreme enough "attention shelf" adjustment that removing them provided a dramatic and measurable change to what I was capable of.

Just try telling people about it, though. I can't count the number of times someone's been telling me that they're depressed b/c they can't accomplish their goals and I've tried to invite them to disconnect, only to come off sounding like a know-it-all. It's a really hard thing to communicate.
Native interface expectations are only really a thing on MacOS at this point. I agree that they are often slower, but "ugly" is an opinion, one that I happen to disagree with. Native widgets feel primitive and dated to me.

A finite state machine can control the head of a Turing machine (as, that is what controls the head of a Turing machine).

A transformer could be trained to implement a particular finite state machine (using a fixed length context window). Of course, so could a fully connected 1-hidden-layer feed-forward neural network. Though, a lookup table would probably be more practical than either of those.

I'm not saying much here, just that "technically, a transformer equipped with interaction with another system, can be Turing complete (though not necessarily in a way that matters)." .

Giving a finite state machine the ability to read and write finite amounts of information to memory addresses (where each address can only store a finite amount of info), only goes beyond being a (perhaps much larger) finite state machine, if there are infinitely many memory locations that can be used, and so these locations can't be limited to ones that have an address which can be specified entirely in terms of a state of the finite state machine.

the following is a tangent:

Sometimes I wonder about, "If we wanted to design a computer that used silicon chips and other such electrical components, but was modular in a way that would make it technically Turing complete as long as we connected (and provided adequate power to) additional modules whenever it tried to use the next one it is missing, what would be a good way to design that?".

A single tape of symbols, or even several tapes, where it can only move one position at a time (per tape), seems probably inefficient (though perhaps not in any asymptotic sense). But, if one can only jump to positions labeled by addresses of a bounded length, that's no good. Therefore, I think that maybe a good solution would be to use relative addresses, where the offsets have a maximum size of 2^32 or 2^16 or something. I think that, in order to prevent computation at later memory addresses from being slower, having to send the information back and forth between the module where it is stored and the information describing the FSM/program, it might be good to have either all the modules, or some fraction of them, contain copies of the hardware for running the computation steps, not just forwarding and implementing messages to read/write. Though, in that case, it does seem a bit of a waste to not use parallelism.
Alternatively, I suppose having a literally-moving head, which stores the FSM, and moves between the different memory modules, might make sense?
I think that being a practitioner of the sport has less to do with being in the target marketing demographic than you might otherwise imagine.

Their target demographic is people who will pay to see a violent spectacle. There are certainly people who find violence thrilling in martial arts, but there are a lot of people who have never done any training, who are uninterested in learning that running away is your best defense or how to de-escalate a tense situation, who have a credit card and want to see someone get punched in the face until they're bloody. That's who MMA producers and refs are targeting, not you.

I'm a kiteboarder and a skier. Do you think that the stores with Dakine luggage or North Face jackets at the mall (which feature prominently-placed posters of people kiteboarding and skiing) are really intended for me? No, they're intended for people who wish to send social signals that they are wealthy, stylish and adventurous.

It's the same with (a subset of) Nascar fans - Many are uninterested in karting time trials that might be more approachable to more amateur participants in motorsports, but they'll on the TV every Sunday hoping to see a big crash, and the same with (a subset of) NFL and NHL fans - they just want to see someone's head bounce off the turf/ice.

That spectacle is what's for sale, it makes money in a way that 10 years of patient practice does not.
The Sage looked nice but the price premium for a stylus wasn't worth it to me for a device I wanted to use purely for reading. Obviously there's a market for such a thing so I'm not saying it's bad, just that it didn't might my own needs.

Calibre works well for the Libra 2. I have a plugin that automatically reformats epubs as kepubs (see https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kepub). That's not a hard requirement but it improves the reading experience a little bit. The biggest difference I notice is that it makes page numbers handle font size changes more accurately. If I halve the number of words that'll fit on the screen, the reader shows that the number of pages in the book has doubled. Also, the current page number increments every time I turn a page, not just when I cross an invisible page boundary.

It's not a dealbreaker not to have those things, but they're nice and worth the 30 seconds to enable in Calibre.
This feels like the opposite direction of where we should be going. Open source should be more like science where you will never get paid unless some company or lab is paying you to do it, and there is a hard focus against commercialization. Parens approach seems revolting

I work at a big company where we both consume and contribute to open source. Our single biggest problem in open source is vendor license issues like confluent and redis, where we can't get that service from a cloud provider without hoops.
man pages are great if you already know 100% what you need to do, and just need a refresher.

Why a lot of software engineers have carpentry as a hobby or pivot to that job?
I think there are a bunch of things causing this problem. Off the top of my head, some factors:

- chronic underfunding - we all know how problems build up when maintenance is deferred

- waterfall planning - Mary Poppendieck has a nice talk on how much trouble this causes: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/tyranny-of-plan/

- political point-scoring - blame-oriented cultures discourage experimentation and incremental improvement

- political polarization - one-party areas can more easily slide into cronyism, and fighting between parties makes it hard to compromise even on things like fixing infrastructure

- classism - in a lot of places, transit is for the poors

- racism - many don't want transit bringing Those People around

- manager culture, not engineer culture - as we see with Boeing, standard MBA thinking doesn't work well for long-term safety and reliability; the focus on short term metrics, mostly financial ones, leads to underinvestment and decay of infrastructure

I don't think that sports that pay people to suffer violence should have a place in modern society.

I know that this would ruin multiple billion dollar industries as we know them (boxing, MMA, gridiron football, more), so nothing substantive will change, but in my opinion there's a grotesque conflict when we're paying people to put up with TBIs, broken bones, et cetera.

There are sports where violence and injury are clearly not the goal but aren't negligible, such as racecar drivers and baseball pitchers, and I don't know how to approach those -- but violence as sport seems far more clear cut.
Well kind of what I'm getting at, is I don't know how much he got it to work. He owned the company that got it to work, and probably deserves some of the credit as a result, so fine.

I guess what I was trying to say in regards to a reusable rocket is that it wasn't an idea that people laughed at. It's an idea that's pretty obvious: rockets are expensive, the way that the previous rocket stuff had worked is pretty wasteful, wouldn't it better if we can reuse more?

So hiring a bunch of engineers to build an obvious idea just doesn't impress me that much. The engineering impresses me, no doubt some very clever did something very cool, but I'm just not 100% sold that Elon deserves the lion's share of the credit on this.

Your experience with software development will range widely depending on where you're working, who you're working with AND what you're working with (tech stack).
Tech sales sounds like it could be nice, especially if you're charming and good-looking. Don't listen to anyone who shills you a physical trade. It's a common trope that SWEs dream of quitting and getting into the trades, but that's only because they've never had to actually do them.
Blazor is doing a fine job being a home for WebForms and Silverlight refugees, how far it will stay relevant remains to be seen.

Their 10' model is already over 350EUR in price, adding a colour screen to it, it would make it too expensive to have mass appeal. I suspect the next models, which will probably be a Sage 2 and an Elipsa 3 will be what you want, after they whet the appetite of regular readers. Hopefully they'll have a next iteration of the colour screens also. :D
I know this is a bad faith comment, but early on the article says:

> The -5 doesn't belong in your ledger, it belongs in the ledger of the person who bought the lemonade.

This is just prescriptive (do it because I say so). It doesn't explain anything.

> As other commenters have pointed out, the "double entry" refers to multiple entries within your own ledger, it has nothing to do with someone else's ledger.

I didn't introduce the other guy's ledger, but since you did:

I lost lemonade (which is somehow an addition to my assets). So the "-5" which belongs in the buyer's lemonade - is the negative sign there to indicate that he gained an asset?
I grew up with this mindset on macOS/iOS, and went with it for many years.

Apple itself isn't consistent enough anymore for it to matter / there to be one true way. Pick a design system and roll with it, definitely - but slavishly trying to figure out the One True Way on a particular platform A) isn't likely to work out, even just focusing on design B) is a long-term handicap. Most people have a mix of devices in their life.

A soothing thought if that's hard to process: Jony Ive always had something to say about how the hardware becomes the app, especially post-iPhone. People expect the app to be familiar across platforms. (of course, there's all sorts of nerd-sniping caveats from there. Of _course_ you should use the platform's print dialog, etc. But don't get hung up on ex. what the Apple Reminders app looks like this year on iOS and OS X)
It is a gimmick in that you have to sacrifice far too much performance. An RTX 4080 will need to run at 1080+upscaling+framegen to get above 60 (!) FPS with ray tracing.

No thank you, I’ll take buttery smooth real 120 FPS at 4K. Especially because games have gotten so good at faking good lighting.

Maybe with the RTX 6xxx series it’ll be viable.
