I mean, there are shit (literal?) businesses our there with stellar marketing and therefore stellar revenues. It's famous that a charming person can sell you almost anything, even your own things.
Yes. It's a toolbox. And perhaps some people think different ways aligned with some tools over others. People come to tech from different backgrounds that are sometimes nontechnical, while some are highly academic and focused such as CS. Also, there are classes of tasks that some tools are better at than others.
You 100% have the right to protest. What you do not have is the right to use your access to the company building to protest in said company building. Feel free to stage a protest out front and I 100% support that.

If you truly object to what your employer does then quit. In this case you are highly paid and skilled talent that is not stuck in your job.

I have much more sympathy for the like of service workers, factory workers, et.al. that lack the mobility of jobs that these people have.
It might be suitable and it's on my radar along with maybe two other mice, but from my understanding Razer Synapse 3.0 isn't supported on macOS, my primary OS for productivity. I know that there is third-party software that I can use so I may end up still getting the Naga.

Using third-party software isn't that big of a deal and is not uncommon in the keyboard world. I suppose what's most surprising to me is the lack of discourse and community around on the topic.
Did you visit the countryside, or the smaller cities?

A lot of Japan is getting abandoned, Akiya (abandoned buildings) are becoming more prevalent, small communities are dying out as the younger generations are forced to move to the larger cities like Tokyo to get a good living, which leads to death spirals.

And then there's the age groups skewing, as less people are born and more people reach the point where they're dying but not fast enough, who's left to take care of the older generations, or who pays taxes to maintain their quality of living?

In 2022 the population across 47 prefectures fell over 800k [1].

Sure, immigration can help combat the issue somewhat, but Japan is a homogeneous society, and at some point you'll end up having more "foreigners" than natives if you don't properly combat the internal decline in numbers.

You ask, is that what bad looks like? I gotta ask, what would constitute bad enough if not the death of all those communities that make the country. Tokyo isn't Japan, all the prefectures and the smaller towns are what make Japan Japan, and as they slowly die out, so does a big part of their culture that so many people love and brings in so much tourism and millions to consume their media, food, fashion and more.

Or gold mining?
Clickbait title: there is no information on how Mandisa died.
> I'm unclear as to what there deserves this kind of accusatory posturing.

The project claims to be "trusted" by one of the largest tech companies in the US. Asking for a definition of "trusted" is extremely reasonable, and calling it "accusatory posturing" is not only inaccurate (the comment itself reads pretty neutrally), but also somewhat emotionally manipulative.
It’s also how we got America.
People are commenting on this but failing to stake out a real point.

Is the point that just having been accepted to those schools is a strong signal? I would concede that it could be, sure.

But a lot of people drop out of Ivy league schools and simply flame out. Many would consider dropping out of those schools after a few semesters as failure. And many companies still require degrees; a few semesters at Harvard won't cut it.

I guess my point is that college dropouts are also successful at creating startups. Two have started the two most valuable companies in the world.
That wasn't my point. My point was that they could stay in business.

My original point was that it was in the ballpark of $2M. Could be more, could be less, all depending on a number of variables--I believe one of those variable just doubled.

I'm not sure what the cost is now, but back in 2012-ish when I briefly looked into mining, it cost about $1 in energy to mine $1 worth of BTC. I used your logic and decided it didn't make sense to invest in mining, so I didn't. I wish I had, or at least purchased some BTC, but I was a broke college student just looking to capitalize on the hardware I already owned, and I didn't really know a thing about investing (other than investing in a 6 pack of beer to meet girls at parties--my ROI was not great, BTW, so I don't recommend this strategy).
Ask HN: Is ChatGPT degrading your writing skills?
I've begun to notice that I have to spend a lot more effort when I want to write concise and unambiguous text. It is especially noticeable when I'm asking ChatGPT questions. I strongly suspect that this is because ChatGPT is capable of answering my questions even when they are vague and poorly worded, so I just don't care as much. In other words, there is no longer a pressure to formulate my questions very precisely, and that pressure is what was keeping my writing sharp.

Does anyone else notice this happening to them?
Right, but human supremacy is an argument from power, or recommended power. Gain power, gain control, win. You are not required to care about animals.
Well put. The difficult part for us software folk is learning to apply that model to software. Customers in the world of software generally don’t know what they want. I think the low hanging fruit here is to copy products from the unethical companies and beat them at caring for the customers.

The real value is probably in new product models that can only exist given an ethical perspective. Perhaps reviving the mostly dead pay once use forever model of software would work well.

That model requires abandoning DRM which the unethical companies will never do.
What is the issue with it? If they lead fairy nice long lives, I don't get it?

You must fundamentally have a problem with existence because nearly any creature that lives in the wild is going to have a very gruesome, painful lonely death.

If the worst thing that can happen is a chicken is protected, fed, given medicine when sick, have offspring and then eventually slaughtered in a rather human way after adulthood, I don't really see how it's so terrible.
Most (all?) countries do this. Consumer banking services will offer free transfers as a loss leader.
If MacOS had something similar to apt, it would make installing, removing, updating, and purging applications so much easier (at least for those who prefer the command line).

About 60% of the time, I don't use apt from the command-line. Instead I use the GUI Synaptic front-end for apt/dpkg, because of its 'search' function. Quite often, I don't know what the package I need to install is called. Synaptic to the rescue!

Hands-down the greatest feature of Linux is the multiple-workspaces. I hear that even Microsoft has copied that idea in the last few years, finally.
"Not enough is legal, and not enough is built as a result."

It's a preferences and distribution problem. There are plenty of places with vacancies or where it is legal and practical to build. The problem is people don't want to live there or it has too few jobs. If the market works the way it should, then people should shift out of the tighter areas and into the looser areas, reaching something closer to an equilibrium. The problem is many of the companies that had easy money and extreme growth concentrated it one region and skewed the market. Most of the US does not have a housing issue as nationally housing units exceed "households". We could accommodate everyone, but it's largely a distribution and preferences issue.

I don't remember it being poorly received. Just a lot more excitement over 3d games, at the time. Also multiplayer games were on the rise.
It's also true for loki.
There’s a limit to that because almost every other country save a few exceptions is seeing the same demographic decline.

But the US for all its faults is very good at assimilating its immigrant population. Everyone in the end becomes mostly American. No other country manages to do that nearly as well. Not countries in Europe and definitely not China or Japan.

So that means the US will have a softer landing in the transition to a post-growth economy.
Adding to the other comments, one thing I have heard about projected population decline is that it tends to happen very _rapidly_. That is, even if birth rates are below replacement level, it takes a while for that number to get reflected in the bottom line population statistics, and by the time a crash in population has serious consequences, it's too late to stop it.
I think Linux should go the FreeBSD/macOS route of completely deprecating major/minor numbers. Just treat stat.st_rdev as a fully opaque identifier.
I think the right way to frame this situation is how Corey Quinn did in the quote at the end of the article. Redis Labs is the party that forked Redis when they changed the license. Redis Labs may own the name, but the community maintainers are carrying on the original project, just under a new name.
There are certainly opinions that will get you fired almost anywhere, because they cause a hostile work environment. Do you think that should not be the case?
"The Llama 3 models have substantially lower false refusal rates, with less than a third of the prompts previously refused by Llama 2 now being accepted" - I suspect there is a typo here
Sigh The problem is so big, and so deeply rooted in our culture and history as predators/scavengers, that I just don't want to even go down this line of thinking - it's very very likely true animals have clear consciousness, but I'm not sure that would even change things.

The sooner we can move to indistinguishable (and cheaper) lab-grown meat, the better. I have very little hope of changing enough minds or culture to simply not eat meat, but I have considerable hope that we can trick ourselves through better savings and taste. Seems like the tech is going to land that direction. Full steam ahead - let's be weird pacifist vampires gorging off brainless flesh growths. Our apology can be a happy "never again!" as we dig into marbled wagu slabs.
You're the second person in this small thread to make a quip about "people claiming to not like cancel culture". Smells pretty fishy to me. Also the whole "she's a great CEO and leader" bit, what are the odds that you have personal experience to where you can make this claim? Even if you did, you could at least provide reasoning for why you think that. Anyways, all put together, I suspect a non-genuine person (or bot/LLM) posted this.
I think there are things that need doing that can't be done profitably, so giving up on being rich had a really nice focusing effect on my dreams.

> Obviously jumping right to the first commit would reduce the number of git bisect-find steps. But would result in more git bisect.

Putting in a number of months/years ago to start from would be a good middle ground.
>Blockchain mining was a favorite for Icelanders who have in excess geothermal energy.

Icelander here, our main power generation is from hydroelectric not geothermal, it's a common misconception.

Also most of the mining here has moved on to easier places like Sweden and Norway. And for cooling / humidity reasons not solely electrical prices.

It was also just foreign owned companies most Icelandic folk don't like it here (I think it makes good use of our remoteness and shit latency however)
There are tons of countries with severe capital controls where crypto is thriving.

Sulfate aerosols

>a way to jump into battle that totally disregards strategic considerations

What happens if it turns out climate change's origin is not human activity ? Or it's considerably less worse than anticipated ? Or even beneficial ?

Imagine if measures are taken globally in some kind of global government to impose restrictions and its proves to be a massive fuckup for nothing in the end. It will be probably the nail in the coffin for any attempt to regulate the earth system scientifically. What's at stake is huge. Both ways.
yeah the uses will be on the l2s
I was surprised where that piece went, because I was thinking about enshittification from the other direction. Where he goes is "people now search reddit instead of google to get higher quality results because less monetizing." But what I had in mind in terms of the internet becoming shit is, how did reddit become so shitty compared to where reddit started? And my expected answer was going to be in the direction of "eternal september".
Related, but slightly off topic. Does anyone know any good books on persuasion and charm? Maybe something with some empirical verification.
I agree with your point that code should be refactored. The main idea of the article is to encourage developers to take some time to think before writing code. Even if you have the functional specifications for a feature, you might not have a clear idea of how to implement it. Taking some time to think and plan your approach can not only improve your initial implementation, but also simplify the process of refactoring later on.
On a national level, the trends are that home size is increasing and lot size is decreasing. Sure there will be some local variances, and it is driven by what the market will support, but it's still the general trend.
But if you pack the same atoms in a cube, that's 17 centimeters. ((8e9*7e17)^(1/3)*1e-10=0.17)
Stocks and bonds and commodities and 401ks and CDs aren't useful in that scenario either, but it doesn't stop people from putting most of their money into those.
Not sure what this has to do with using false god vanity metrics for something that has actual metrics that matter. Or perhaps the real metrics are so good so it's time to baffle us with bullshit?
Surely consciousness is not black & white, but a scale.
Rocks at one end & us(?) at the other.

There was a recent post suggesting that our thoughts are 98% unconscious.

It's not hard to imagine that there could be some animals with more than 0.01% consciousness. After all, we started at 0% conscious and evolved a little - other species are probably some way down that track.
Value does not work like that
There's also an endless stream of very surprised crypenthusiasts who owe large tax bills. The tax department may not get you on any given year, but they will eventually get you.
And that's why I use cash everywhere I can, even when it's not as convenient.
Audio equaliser works just fine with a wheel and buttons. Actually, once I press "menu" on the console, I can do the whole process using the steering wheel controls.

Tire pressure monitoring doesn't need an HD display either. It's got only three real functions: low pressure detected, low battery and calibrate. You don't need a touchscreen for any of that.

And even if you have to drive an urban tank, you could still have the camera display on the dashboard: you don't have to use a touchscreen for everything just to have a camera display. Or, you know what, have the shiny bullshit if you have to, but it all had to work from the steering wheel controls. And no, voice control is not a good substitute. But even then all that junk makes the car an expensive and unreliable prospect in the short and long runs.
Entirely true, in fact. I've read what Matt Levine wrote. I've also read the actual proxy statement from Tesla, which Matt Levine cites and links! You too can read it, here for example, in the summary on page 17: https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001318605/0...

Sounds like you are making a lot of progress. What’s the business?
When currency was made using gold/silver it was also deflationary, which was a fucking nightmare for everyone except the very rich.
Lots of derivatives, particularly tether and dai and usdc, are held significantly due to 3rd world countries with capital controls.

It is much safer and easier to hold than a sack of dollars. Also very easy for remittances.
A lot of people are talking about Nimbus now. Would they be if these employees had simply quit?

If you were to choose between a little bit of inflation and a little bit of deflation, you should choose a little bit of inflation. Deflation means people have a greater incentive not to spend, so dissuades investment and thus innovation and progress. It leads to wealth hoarding and feudalism.
You are confusing words. In the context of the OP, "having many options" doesn't mean indiscriminately hoarding everything. It's like making choices in chess that result in having more options for moving pieces. The "premature optimization is the root of all evil" saying is an even more lacking analogy, but it conveys a similar idea. In other words, the advice to increase your options applies even if you dedicate your entire life to just one thing.
They don't really have lights on though. If they do they are very dim. What matters is self-awareness, not mere awareness and instinct. Repeated tests and research don't show chickens to have self-awareness or any traits really worth valuing IMO. It's easy to anthropomorphize, but the research doesn't lie.
It does not, in an ideal economic scenario, discourage borrowing - it just means nominal interest rates might be negative.
I hope you will find the support to overcome this. Good luck
Also a non-customer so I could be mistaken... but they allow arbitrary code execution; it wouldn't be hard to just run a container image on fly that uses fio or whatever if you wanted to test it. Although I tend to agree that the hosting provider should publish expected perf numbers too.
The problem with giving the US MIC the monopoly for producing all the West's weaponry is that the US MIC is just not capable of producing enough weapons for the whole of the West.

In the last big one, WW2, you had Britain producing weapons for Britain, the Soviets producing weapons for the Soviets, and the US producing weapons for themselves and also some extras for others.

At the moment, there are two very small wars going on, Israel and Ukraine. The West's MIC is incapable of producing enough weapons for those two tiny flareups. Just imagine how bad things would be if there was a war the size of WW2 in progress. There'd be soldiers everywhere with nothing in their hands, and getting wiped out
I don't know what gave you that idea?

I'm fine with using the activity comparison to declare a winner.

But valkey was created a few weeks ago, obviously it's going to have a burst of activity. However most forks die off rather quickly after the initial burst of enthusiasm. That one might be different, because it has corporate sponsors.

So, in 6 months, do the exact same comparison (recent activity, # of recent contributors) and it'll be good enough for me.
My apparent bias is because I have never had a dedicated GPU since the golden days of 3DFx, only laptops with built-in mostly-Intel graphics. Compiz apparently was not made for these. And the only week I had a PC with a full-blown nVidia GPU in my disposition it was bleeding-edge new so no driver worked well with it. One lesson (or whatever you call it when you learn something questionable because of the inherent bias in the circumstances) my whole life has been teaching me is 3D acceleration is always about bugs and quirks, often also about slowness and I hardly want these in my window manager. And now as I am transitioning into an old fart, I dream of my whole UI to look like an zen-boring e-Ink eBook reader rather than a wobbly&colorful bells&whistles flying circus :-] Surely I agree the MacOS DE could use a lot of customizations to allow though.
Is there any particular reason we should assign any weight to this guess of yours? People have been calling “peak bitcoin from which it won’t recover” for at least 5 cycles now.
> Abraham broadly estimates the gaming industry produced between 3 million and 15 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 to create video games. That includes energy bought from local grids and used to keep the lights on and computers powered as developers make games.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/features/video-games-are-fi...

Compare this to the linked wiki article:

> A 2022 non-peer-reviewed commentary published in Joule estimated that bitcoin mining resulted in annual carbon emission of 65 Mt CO2, representing 0.2% of global emissions, which is comparable to the level of emissions of Greece.

So, bitcoin mining results in CO2 emissions comparable to twice that of the entire video game and movie industries combined.
Bitcoin transactions work via satellite, ham radio, or cellphone. If there is any form of working communication you can send or receive Bitcoin.

If comms are temporarily disabled, your Bitcoin is still safe on tens of thousands of nodes.
There are housing shortages in localities due mostly to distribution issues. Nationally, the number of housing units exceeds the number of households (families). In theory that market should correct this by causing places (San Francisco, in your example) to be less attractive and people will choose other places to work and live.
My suspicion that everything is made of pure abstract motion can be backed with a thought experiment. A spaceship with a light sail uses kinetic energy of photons that hit the sail. We know that anything can be dissolved into photons, we even know the exact amount of those photons from the e=mc2 formula, and when all those photons hit the light sail, they vanish from existence and become the kinetic energy of the spaceship. And what is kinetic energy? It's not even real. And as we know from the relativity theory, even as an abstraction, kinetic energy can't be measured with an absolute number, it has to be measured with respect to some imaginary reference frame.
Would you be surprised to learn that a lot of people live in a neighborhood where there is not a central broker with a power to ban anything?

There used to be an expectation that one doesn't discuss sex, religion, or politics in the workplace.

Incidents like this make me think there's some wisdom in that.
Chickens are dumb AF not only for how we rate human intelligence, but also against all the different tests and methodologies we have to try and objectively assess animal intelligence. I don't think they are capable of really having personalities so much as a few different ingrained behaviors that differ based on genes.
It has no underlying fundamentals. Its value is 100% speculative. Gold is somewhat similar, in that it's value is mostly speculative, but it does have some inherent utility/value.

Bitcoin has value for the same reason that vintage sneakers or Pokemon cards have value; that is there is a fetish for them and thus some belief that at some later time, someone will want to buy it for personal reasons (either due to their own beliefs or sentimentality).

Actual currency, on the other hand, derives its value from the willingness of the issuing sovereign to accept it back in payment of taxes.
