I'm with you on pretty much all of what you've said. The _trivial distribution story_ is part of the reason I handed off maintenance of tmuxinator and started working on rmuxinator (spiritual successor written in Rust).

Otherwise, I often find myself needing to deploy Python/Node/Ruby at $WORK and I'd really rather not try to get a bunch of dev/prod machines (possibly running different OSes!) trying to use whatever the flavor of the day for managing virtual environments, interpreter versions, packages, etc. is.
I honestly am not sure what it is, I don't know who that is or could be?

Fixed! Thanks for pointing that out!
Open discussion: 3D printing end use parts
Open discussion about what you think is holding back 3d printing in end use parts. Is it that we don't have the design tools to leverage its advantages in complexity and ability create unique objects? Or is it just inherently limited. Seems not too long ago we were promised a Star Trek replicator in every home.

I'm of the opinion that our design tools haven't fully caught up yet and can't leverage personalized production. Just look at existing sites like Printables...imagine if those models were adaptable to what you need even if you don't CAD.
Gambling mostly damages just the person gambling (and loosing) while drugs tend to damage not just the consumer but also people and the environment around them (violence, crime, homelessness, mental issues, robberies, feces and syringes everywhere, harassment etc).
Exactly, same with carrying large sums of money; if there's no tracing of any transaction it will be used for money laundering and international movement of value.
The op were obviously talking about M1 Max.
I would rather someone file bogus expense reports for a vacation in Belize than overcomplicate my work to justify their own importance and in the practice stop me from advancing and getting a raise to go on my own vacation in Belize. The later case is super common, 100% legal and 100% greater asshole because I am deprived not only of some of my money but also my time and dignity. Everything comes in degrees and I would rather deal with someone who is a little crooked but still well meaning towards me than someone completely honest and a complete jerk.
The killer feature is presumably inference at the edge, but I don't see that being used on desktop much at all right now.

Especially since most desktop applications people use are web apps. Of the native apps people use that leverage this sort of stuff, almost all are GPU accelerated already (eg. image and video editing AI tools)
For most young people, interest rates on savings accounts have been effectively 0% for most of their lives. That has changed within the last few years but may also be temporary.

Compounding gains in investments still work out in the long run, but an older generation trying to tell the younger one about putting money in a savings account and letting it earn compound interest has been out of touch for a couple of decades now.
It's not though. You have to fiddle around with ports and servers and environment variables.

But a drawing API is clearly not the way modern graphics works best. What would be really cool is a terminal that supported low latency streaming video. Then you can do proper GUI apps using any rendering system they want and it will properly integrate with ssh.
With gambling, that dopamine rush and crash is pretty intense, so I can wrap my head around that. That TikTok, Twitter or even Facebook leverage the same reaction to keep people glued to their phones consuming bullshit that they otherwise wouldn't even care about fascinates me.

The esoteric message in Cornershop's Brimful of Asha (2003)
The merger was completed in 2010, so the Obama administration. However, the country was coming out of the great recession and the last thing the administration needed was bad PR for "stopping a merger that would prevent people from losing their jobs".
So, in this case, the process would be the existence of customs checks. The hidden detail might be "we've got an informant in the smugglers' organization".
It is contraindicated from the parameter of speed of recovery/healing.

While that's important in order for someone to get back to work or a sport, the most important parameter should be quality of recovery, in my opinion.
There's an excellent essay on Anarchy Unbound about this. It analyses inter-group transactions and methods to not be cheated. Essentially, cheaters are defined as people who discount future transactions as 0. Therefore, I've easy to filter them out it's to require an upfront cost for any unknown person to transaction with you.

The thing that blew my mind was you can use non-monitary costs. E.g. if someone from an out group learns your language and your culture, that's a moderate investment. To recoup that, they need to make multiple transactions and are therefore less likely to cheat.

It's by no means a perfect metric - and it works much better in smaller, tribal settings - but it's still a fascinating analysis

I always wondered if Spotify could do it for music (which I think are much more zealously protected), why there is no similar service for news articles?

Is it because a news article is one time consumption, whereas music is not?

Better as in less spammy, less scammy, and less bots? That’s pretty hard to do at scale. But there’s functionality in LinkedIn that you could break out and do better.

For example, it’s not a great job board, but it does recommend jobs based on your experience. A cool tool (not sure if it exists) would be to upload a resume to a site and have it return job listings, sorted by compatibility. LinkedIn does this to an extent but it could be done much better. Another cool feature would be something that compares your resume to a listing and points out the experience you’re missing.

Not that that really matters. The real way LinkedIn makes its money is B2B sales and marketing. The job board & social media features are just a veneer to attract users.
One the one hand this is a cool story about real technology pioneers. On the other hand, this is a story about people building technology that was so ahead of its time that it had no chance of turning into a good product. Too expensive, too unreliable, too complicated.

I think there are some obvious parallels here to General Magic and the Apple Newton. Very cool technology. Impressive demos. But ultimately the products didn't deliver on the vision. It wasn't until the iPod and capacitive touch screens and tiny hard drives came to the market that the iPhone became possible. Being 20 years early doesn't help.

Similar catastrophically flawed research projects get started today. In the past couple of days the Humane AI pin has been in the news. It's a wearable AI gadget that seems cool but it doesn't work. The tech has to catch up to the vision. It's at least a decade ahead of its time.

Thanks for the insight! It is true that I started with a micro-benchmark of 20k rows for slower inserts, but I also did some longer benchmarks with ~772 million rows.
We’ve never really had legal and regulated drug use other than mostly coffee and alcohol.

The same illegal drugs used by the lower echelons of society is the same as the ones used in higher echelons of society. You’d be hard pressed to find folks not using hard drugs in the Fortune 500 list.

The difference is the availability of drugs. Many rich people never struggle to find high quality drugs. That is not the same for everyone.
No they're not. That's just misusing language. Efficiency isn't the same thing as laziness.
Do you say that because its quicker to insert large batches of rows into Clickhouse, or because it's better in other ways?

The boundary between "imagining" and "visualizing" is somewhere between these two experiences but conceptually they are not that different.
I think as shown by similar scandals at NYT and WSJ, that the media press do not accept feedback, and instead will rally around extending and furthering their ideological anti-liberal (authoritarian) monoculture, and instead get rid of dissenting voices.

see James Bennet at NYT (who was fired for publishing a op-ed from a sitting American senator) or even Kevin D. Williamson at the Athletic.
There was an old Casino parody film from the mid 90s (iirc Mafia!).

Anyway, they had a scene where they were showing the different games that were being played in the casino. Things like a bunch of Saudi princes playing an extremely high stakes game of Candyland, etc.

One of the games was called the black hole or something like that. Anyway, people would step up to the table and the guy working the table would just sweep up their money into a hole and tell them they lost. It had a constant stream of people walking up to the table to lose money.

It's more or less the mental model that I use for gambling.
I've never seen any suggestion in scientific literature that "nofap" is beneficial or healthy in any way that could be considered self-improvement, though I'm open to the idea.
Exactly. My friends and I have poker nights occasionally, and we always make sure dues are paid to those who are owed them, and nobody is upset in the end. It's about playing the game and having something to do with friends. You'd pay that much going out to watch a movie or going to dinner anyways.
You had a FORTRAN compiler that didn't have DO loops? I'm dubious.
Users on X also said the word "delve" was commonly used among non-native English speakers, specifically Nigerians.

English is Nigeria's official language. "Non-native" is not modifying "English speakers." No, it's just Twitter being Twitter.
I don't see how he's encouraging laziness. It's not impossible to both acknowledge economic challenges & believe in a better future.
For the first part, no, it's not about guilt. Er, well, I 'll try to avoid speculating on the psychology on their side, but no matter how much data I show my well-meaning, "liberal" parents, they simply seem unable to accept how different circumstances are facing younger generations compared to them raising a 2-kid, family-vacay-ever year, comfortably middle-class family on one salary.

As for the second paragraph, I guess I'll just say, I think you're probably completely spot on.
It really seems like you're arguing against "save money, make safe investments", no?
Exactly. To me it sounds like he's a corporate stooge who tried to steer NPR into being yet another fake centrist outlet, full of tailored opinions.

Ice is also widely recommended to aid recovery for athletes, despite it having a negative effect on post-exercise adaptation. People widely recommend incorrect stuff to athletes all the time.
Sure, but would it still be enough to make converting, transporting, and converting it back to purer gold economically viable?

I mean by that logic you could also have a couple of mules wear expensive jewelry or watches or the like; if it's convincing enough that someone wears a $500K watch as personal effect then they wouldn't be flagged for inspection.

In theory anyway, I don't know how these things work in reality. I wonder if someone's financial status is pulled up at passport control.

I don't believe it's uncommon for rich people to travel coach though.
Gambling used to be highly regulated by the government so it was run underground by organized crime. Now things are simpler: the same people are running things but without the hassle.
You can say the same thing about Patreon, donations, etc.

Sure, you don't have to pay to watch them but its a way of giving back to them. And on platforms like twitch, being subscribed to a channel does things like remove ads and access to emotes that are part of the live interaction if you want to participate in that.

These numbers aren't adjusted for inflation. "Soared $8 trillion" lol. At least some of that was printed. This article then claims inflation is a sign of a booming economy. Higher numbers go vrrrrrrooommmm. I'd really like to see a focus on economic outputs. There are too many layers in the GDP maze.
Feedback is always good. I was thinking that the first thing you need to do is create a business plan and do some research. Next, you want to launch your thing and monitor your cashflow. When you're launching, you probably get some feedback or learn valuable lessons that you don't want to forget.

But maybe I'm thinking to far ahead and I should concentrate on just one thing :-)
If a ticket costs $1 and you have a 1 in 10 million chance of a win, any payout larger than $10 million (after taxes) gives a positive expected return. Unwise to invest your life savings on a longshot, but still worth buying a few tickets if the expected return exceeds the market rate. I believe the Kelly criterion gets you to an exact percentage of your wealth to spend on tickets.
It seems like we basically agree actually.

> The army has pulled back most troops from Gaza, partially because they need rest

Right they need rest because they are stretched beyond what they're meant to endure as a conscript army. They also can afford a rest they need.

> s being used now partially because at this moment, the importance of the draft is more obvious

Right because the current army needs rest and could use fresh reinforcements.

So what's our disagreement here?

if you're unhappy after gambling and losing, you're not having fun. Winning gambling is not the fun, it's just happiness from money.

If you enjoy blackjack, or poker, or craps, regardless of winning or losing, then it's fine to gamble. If you're only having fun from the exhileration from the large winnings, then it's not "fun", but thrill seeking, just like skydivers or extreme sports. Except for those thrill seeking sports, there's often safety measures in place.
Realistically there is no way to do news without a bias nowadays. A Trump supporter told me there was no war between Russia and Ukraine. I said “OK, conflict”. His reply was “mainstream media has you brainwashed”.

To cover Jan 6 do we have to say that maybe it was Trump supporters who peacefully went to the Capitol or maybe it was Antifa who stormed it - we have to treat all possible scenarios as equally likely?
We need to re-label modern gambling (like the lottery and casinos) into what they are. Cons. An entertaining gamble is one in which you have a real shot. Heck the carnival games at least involve a reasonable skill. Whereas casino games the only skill is how bad you lose. The casino at scale is taking on no risk. (besides that people wise up to their con).

IDK about in the US, but in Canada the lotteries do fund a lot of charitable things but I wasn't able to find a good stat about the proportion. Also at the end of a day it just a waste of human potential (running the corporation and wasting human hopes on useless things instead of potentially beneficial things)
Ok. This seems to be well before my time on the Hill.

Imo, you can't really compare NPR in 1999 with NPR in 2024 - almost everyone who was senior in the organization back then will have already retired 15-20 years ago, and their funding structure today is much more donor and advertiser driven than it ever was in the 1990s.
I occasionally wish I had some other job than being a programmer.

But I quickly find out that most other jobs involve a lot of tasks that could be automated.

Unless you're telling people what to do (imperative programming) or making high-level schematic drawings (declarative programming), I can't imagine not being a programmer in a classical sense and not get bored with repeating things that computers or robots could be doing, and I could be telling them how.
Like mDNS. But widely available, with a healthy portion of well-known names, quality of life features, and configurability thrown in. I consider this available when I can ping `router.local`, `my-machine.home-network`, `iphone`, or `coffee-maker.devices.floor-5.office` wherever I am, from any of my devices, without any additional configuration required. A liberation of the whole naming business is overdue, in my opinion; domains should be assignable to things securely and automatically, without any involvement of IP addresses or even IT specialists.
To add to your analysis: young women are much less "sex-positive" than the millennial generation, are more anti-porn, wearing less revealing clothing, and tend to be particularly critical of age-gap relationships (often throwing around accusations of grooming).
When talking about gambling, whether it's sports betting, robinhood, etc. I have no doubts it is addiction. The article suggests this, too.

I don't personally know anyone who uses doordash regularly, but I've seen a handful of commenters on hn complaining about doordash while pretending there's no possible other way to get their food (even after getting possible alternatives). Just wait for doordash to come up in the news again and see if you can't ask someone anonymously about it here :)

People who don't want to X can always find a reason not to, for any given X. Somebody might even talk about how they want to do X, and go through many of the motions and preparations, but always find some reason at the end to back out.

Yes, skiing and gambling are very similar, that's why there are all those hotlines you can call for help quitting skiing
I think, it's meant like this:

If the lottery gets too big, then it's an investment = if your gambling gets to big, then it's an investment. If you do big gambling, then it's an investment. The law of bigger figures :) the often you try, the higher the chances (whereas the chances stay unchanged here)

It's not about the lottery and it's pots itself (like euro jackpot, USA Powerball.. etc)
Yes; I'm convinced most intercepts are not reported on except maybe in end of year statistics.

That said, they do seem to report on large catches. I'm not sure if that's effective, given it means they will just change tactics. I see this mainly with drugs.

But also, I keep thinking if they intercepted this one $100M worth of cocaine, how much did actually pass by?
Biden admin has been on an antitrust tear. Most of the big tech companies have had cases filed against them.
Because it was a defining reason for their creation. Uniforms in policing represented a change in public thinking about crime prevention vs crime reaction. It marked the moment in time when the modern police force was effectively born.

Before that, we did have police, but they were different in meaningful ways. Such forces were largely concerned with dealing with crime post facto, and were not always considered particularly professional. The uniforms were a fundamental shift in the theory of policing.
I have sometimes wondered if ideas about dwarves, gnomes, trolls or other vaguely human-shaped mythical creatures might have originated in encounters with other, now-extinct human species.
The performance of oolama on my M1 MAX is pretty solid - and does things that my 2070 GPU can't do because of memory.

I find it funny how you're willing to offhandedly dismiss a paper because "economists, not real scientists", but seemingly have no problems with the field psychology which had the replication crisis and "experiment on a bunch of freshmen psychology students and extrapolate to the whole population" studies.
I wonder if I am the only one who wanted to invert both axes when playing a third-person game on a gamepad.

This is already a solved problem- look at how airline seats are handled.
Huh. That article is.. alright. Reads as pretty emotional. The inciting article (linked in a sibling comment, well worth reading) does not deserve the criticisms as portrayed by the quick quotes included in this article.

The bit about political 'ammunition' is interesting to me though, given that the inciting article is briefly but thoroughly damning of the political camp evidently using this as 'ammunition'.
If it fits your use case then it's great, but if you want to have more custom generations then you are limited with it.
US is a two-party system. At best you can vote for the lesser evil. Or vote independent, but that's mostly a lost vote. Or not vote at all. How can an individual absolve themselves of this guilt?
If we're including Outer Wilds, wouldn't almost every other space sim/pilot game also qualify? Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, etc. They all have 6 DoF for both rotation and strafing.
> You could also end up winning $100 from gambling $100.

Or you could lose it all, whereas buying a designer hand bag has a 100% chance of you ending up with a designer handbag afterwards.
Do you feel like the market is going to cool massively in the next few years? If you don't see your equity evaporating in the near term, why would you sell now? Let renters pay off the loan for you, drop the $400/month into a money market. If you need cash in the future, you've got 400k basically sitting there ready to go, and if you don't the cash, you've got a savings account someone else is basically putting money into for you.

>There was an old Casino parody film from the mid 90s (iirc Mafia!).

IIRC Mafia! was a parody of the Godfather series, or the mobster movies of the 70s-80s in general.
> The answer is a more functional style, partial application and immutability solves so much of what people are talking about, but nobody wants to learn to use functional languages.

People still use default arguments in functional programming when they can: see for example functions that take a map of arguments that’s merged into a default one.
It's a 25w processor. How will it ever live up to a 400w GPU? Also you can't even run large models on a single 4090, but you can on M series laptops with enough RAM.

The fact a laptop can run 70B+ parameter models is a miracle, it's not what the chip was built to do at all.
