My mother, who was born in 1935, will not even buy a entry for a church fundraising raffle because that is "gambling" and she was raised by good Presbyterian teetotalers who absolutely did not approve of gambling in any form whatsoever.

A bit of that attitude leached off on me as well, but I have noticed that it is almost completely vanished from American culture.

Gambling used to be something that whole swaths of society looked upon with absolute contempt as nothing but an unmitigated vice.
It's not mentioned here, but at some point there were studies suggesting that alternating heat and cold gave improved recovery over cold (ofc now we know that cold is debunked, the question is whether heat and cold improves recovery over doing nothing or adding heat)

The parent poster isn't claiming that skiing and gambling are "very similar" in general, just that in the particular example given where they only loosing a few hundred bucks is pretty close to a mildly expensive hobby, like skiing.
I can confirm that in my entire life in the US, no one has ever called pure MDMA "ecstasy". The latter has always referred to MDMA cut with something.

There may be different subcultures in the US that I don't know about, of course.
Chaz: An LLM <-> Matrix Chatbot
Well, your individual dollars don't buy access to a controlled resource, but people in general contributing certainly does. That streamer would definitely do something else if there was no income coming in. The younger generations seem less tied to the idea that money must always be part of a quid pro quo transaction, and are more willing to throw money into a pool to support things they really like. Sounds like a pretty solid step forward in human cultural values to me.
Haha very cool use! Yeah reading up on TimescaleDB vs. Clickhouse it seems like columnar storage and Clickhouse will be faster and better compress the time series data. For now I'm sticking to TimescaleDB to learn Postgres and PostGIS, but might make a TimescaleDB vs. Clickhouse comparison when I switch!
Yeah when I read all these comments about how hard dating is for men now, how impossible it is and think about the professional women I know and their dating experiences....

They have very reasonable standards in how they expect men to treat them, and the men they date are overwhelmingly not willing to rise to those standards. These standards are maybe much higher than they would have been even a generation ago but for the most part they are still very reasonable! And I am not even talking about money here.
I’m also curious which part of your auto or home insurance policy may call out space junk as covered or not. Maybe similar to a plane crashing into it.
Seems harsh to blame somebody for simply paying to do something they enjoy when the alternative is just not doing it. Blame the monopoly, not the consumer.
braking will succeed if you're on a straight aways most of the time. But on slick roads, curves, etc it can be quite dangerous.

That is not how this is going to be enforced. Other places have passed this law and cops repeatedly walk up to people recording and threaten them to go back or block their view and often arrest them under their interpretation of the law the recorder then has to spend time and money to fight or simply suffer the consequences of an arrest even if they're not ultimately charged.

Their news programming used to be pretty good (‘00s and earlier, maybe a little into the 20-teens). Now it’s at its best when my local station’s syndicating news from the BBC. :-( It’s markedly better, really highlights how bad NPR has gotten.

On the Media remains good. Their market show’s ok. I like Wait, Wait. That’s a complete list of their programs I’m still happy about listening to.

Hey OP (assuming you're the author), you might be interested in this similar experiment I did about four years ago, same dataset, same target, similar goal!

Similar sequence of investigations, but using regular Postgres rather than Timescale. With my setup I got another ~3x speedup over COPY by copying binary data directly (assuming your data is already in memory).
One big drawback with FDM (fused deposition modeling) parts is strength. Another is obviously surface smoothness. A third issue is production time/speed.

The layers in a 3D printed part are not fused together as well as resin cast parts and tend to separate and fail under some "end use" conditions. Smoothness can be a concern too for some "end use" conditions. And 3D printing for volume production is just plain slow --- at least a couple of orders of magnitude slower than casting.

Bottom line --- ok for quick prototypes but 3D printing has some fundamental limitations making it questionable for a lot of "end use" products.
Current state of AI in the hype cycle
Yeah, I'm sure a well paid attorney could probably come up with some legal theory that "makes it OK" to attempt to entice an employee into committing a crime for the purpose of rooting out employees who would commit a crime in exchange for money.

A well paid attorney worth their salt will likely tell you that you don't want to test that theory with a court and the various employment watchdogs.

Engaging in such a plan and through happenstance and human fallibility ending up actually creating harm to an actual customer could potentially expose you to a tort claim.

Oh, 1080p indeed been introduced in 2009, eg 15 years ago. I thought it was younger. However, just pretend I was talking about the next higher resolutions, or 60fps.

That's quite a bit different from your original accusatory "they and their peers pulled the ladder up behind them". Kinda makes it difficult to believe it's not about guilt when you're phrasing it like this.
Gambling can have many externalities too, starting with the families of gambling addicts.
If the video content is loaded from the same place as the ads, and the blockers are blocking the source, that statement would make sense. I'm not sure it's gaslighting. Passive aggressive? Maybe but the point is to tell you not to do this so perhaps that's justified?
Nope. The idea that all viewpoints are equally valid is intellectually bankrupt and a classic example of weaponized human stupidity because anything is possible when you don't know what you're talking about. Playing into the bullshit asymmetry principle in an effort to sway crackpots only mainstreams their lunacy.
If you're making like $15/hr with $30,000 of subsidized student loans, under SAVE you're paying $0/mo in student loan payments and will eventually have the total amount forgiven. Also, under SAVE, the unpaid interest won't increase your principal.

If you make $30/hr, your subsidized rate under SAVE for the same loan is $48.
Have you tried doing `find . -name '*.cstemp' -exec rm {} +`? This provides as many arguments (filenames) as possible to the executed command (rm) rather than the `\;` which executes the command per file. This provides a massive speed improvement.
Active Record Transaction Callbacks
All the petty spending is so small in comparison to your rent. Cut out the vape and save $16 a week all you want, thats not making or breaking anything. This is the classic “5 dollar latte” fallacy: that older generations think the youth is foolish for spending $5 on coffee, while not knowing thats an absolute drop in the bucket relative to lifes big costs today, and also probably returning more than $5 in not feeling totally depressed and miserly.
I guess 1080p was the big shiny edge thing back at the time. 35mm can supposedly be scanned beyond 8K, so you could theoretically consider 4K filming not good enough neither.
>> As a mid-twenties man, I see this constantly among my friends.

I see this among a fair number of engineers in their 30s, 40s, and one pushing 50. I don't think many of the older crowd are doing it, but maybe they just don't talk about it. I have no idea how well they do, but I'm sure they lose on average. Bets are often in the hundreds of dollars if I'm hearing them correctly.
Can you expand on this? It seems to me that a major difference between flight tickets and concert tickets is that when an airline overbooks they can switch you to a later flight. However, most concerts only perform once in a given city.
Programming is fun if you enjoy tinkering with computers.

It's not if you don't.

I see no reason at all for anyone to learn to do something that they don't care about. There are many ways to make a living, and people like Paul know this well.
If you went back a full generation you would notice a very different attitude in society toward gambling. It used to really be frowned upon.
This is no closet conservative. His mother was a co-founder of the women's studies program at Sarah Lawrence and a famous lesbian rights activist. He won the Peabody. I don't listen to the radio, but if Uri Berliner says they've gone too far, they probably have.
Yup. We are in our current predicament because the previous 4 or 5 administrations, whether D or R, have let corporations run amok with M&A and general anticompetitive behavior, offering only token resistance. Biden has finally signaled a shift in the last year or two, but it remains to be seen how far these actions will go (and how much Congress and the courts will allow).

In the United States at least both scenarios you mentioned are illegal. Market makers are not just sitting in the middle of orders. They buy without a seller lined up and then fill orders from their own inventory (or route orders to an exchange in the case where they can't fill a buy order from their own inventory). In cases where they route to an exchange they are required by law to fill the order at the lowest price available. Typically they fill orders at better prices than what you can get on an exchange. So you, as a retail investor, are actually getting better prices than you would if your broker just filled orders on an exchange.

How the price improvement gets allocated is complicated. Some of the price improvement goes to the broker (in the form a payment-for-order-flow) and some goes to the actual investor (you). But in either case the retail investors are strictly better off.
It's still being updated. I don't see anything on the virt-manager homepage or GitHub that would suggest it is deprecated.

It can't do literally everything Qemu/libvirt can do using only the UI, but given that it has escape hatches to directly edit libvirt configurations, and libvirt has escape hatches to directly pass arguments to Qemu, there's very little you can't do with it.
Well at least it's not farming this time. People have no idea how hard some of these careers they want to switch to are.

1. Yeah to me it seems very hard to saturate I/O with Postgres unless maybe you insert into an unlogged table. I guess there's quite a bit of overhead to get all the nice stability/consistency and crash-resistance.

2. That is a good point. I'm hoping TimescaleDB's compression helps here but yeah I don't think you'll ever get the database size below the data's original footprint.
> Upscaling for gaming or video.

Already exists on all three major GPU manufacturers, and it definitely makes sense as a GPU workload.

> Local context aware search

You don't need an AI processor to do this, Windows search used to work better and had even less compute resources to work with.

> Offline Speech to text and TTS

See my point about not a very common use case for desktops & laptops vs cell phones.

> Offline LLM that can work with your documents as context and access application and OS APIs

Maybe for some sort of background task or only using really small models <13B parameters. Anything real time is going to run at 1-2t/s with a large model.

Small models are pretty terrible though, I doubt people want even more incorrect information and hallucinations.

I could see this, or noise cancellation.
I don't think it's a particularly new phenomenon. It's probably just as you age your cohort suffers from more burnout.
Not likely, unless it's a set of parquet files already. Clickhouse would be a better bet.

With a designer handbag, you get something that's worth $50 for a cost of $500. That's a 100% chance of a $450 loss.

But, you say, it gives me pleasure! Well, so does gambling. And spending money for pleasure is fine, so long as you can afford it. And if you can't, it's equally bad.
To be fair, it is largely the Big O analysis that is very different. And that is easily understood as a case of Goodhart's Law. It remains a good way of comparing the growth of algorithms, of course; but a full analysis would include more than only the top end growth numbers.
> cargo install imgcatr

I feel very uncomfortable seeing cargo being used as a tool to distribute software.

Cargo is a package manager.

It should build software.

I suppose it’s arguable that it should be able to install developer tooling to help you build things.

However, I feel uncomfortable seeing this type of thing.

Is the installed binary sandboxed? It is namespaced? Is it shared between projects? What causes it to be updated?

Can building a crate update the globally installed version of “foo” by “cargo install” installing a different crate that happens to have a binary with the same name? (Yes, via build.rs, but just as a dependency?)

How would I even know?

There are so many things wrong with this imo.

Building a crate should generally be sandboxed, but this (cargo install as a concept, not this particular app) feels like the goal is the opposite of a sandbox, instead it’s a shared arbitrary named tool that goes into your path by default and gets updated an unknown times.

I feel like this is going to bite the rust community in the foot at some point.
This was always the case. Anybody remember the old Kuro5hin thread about the programmer who quit to become a bike messenger? I think that was back in the early 00s. Jamie Zawinski quit programming to sell beer in 1998.

What is it about programming that makes so many people want to quit and do something else?
Yes this is basically correct. The lawsuits can also drag out for years. They can be avoided by late changes - for example Microsoft just removed Teams from Office bundles, and will get away with having caused damage to users and competitors for years. Congress has avoided the responsibility of passing new harsher antitrust legislation that simply skips the lawsuits and goes straight to fines.

> 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 applies to stock returns as well, which have been on a tear for the past decade. If anything not knowing what to do with your money besides parking it in a bank account is a sign of financial illiteracy, which is what OP was decrying.
In a parallel universe, they switched to RFC6979 in 2013, but the implementation had a bug that wasn't detected for years, allowing compromise of lots of keys. In that parallel universe, HN is criticizing them for following fashion instead of just leaving an already-proven piece of crypto code in place.

It's an unfortunate bug, an unfortunate oversight, but I think they made a perfectly reasonable choice at the time.

not yet. we are in the middle of a trial of sorts giving him a daily keto drink to raise his blood ketone level in hopes of achieving something similar to a keto diet. seizures aren't a risk for kabuki afaik, but we are hoping for a cognitive boost because the kabuki gene is responsible for chromatin opening. without that neurogenesis is deficient. hdac inhibition can reverse it and keep the chromatin open for longer, allow expression of various key genes.

with satb2 - you have one functioning allele, right? is there any research being done to increase its output to compensate for the missing allele? or is it more complicated than that with missing adjacent genes etc?

Not using AI on the cloud. So if your connection is uncertain or you want use your bandwidth for something else-- like video conferencing or gaming. Probably the killer app is something that wants to use AI but doesn't involve paying a cloud provider. I was talking to a vendor about their chat bot built to put into MMOs or mobile games. It woudl be killer to have a character have life like conversation in those kinds of experiences. But the last thing you want to do is increase your server costs the way this AI would. Edge computing could solve that.

Those batched trades are called “auctions” and they are a part of many exchanges.

I think it’s pretty uncommon to do them every N seconds.

A common pattern is to collect quotes before the market open, do an “opening auction” to set the opening price, and then switch to continuous trading for the rest of the day. If trading in a stock ever pauses (which can happen for a variety of reasons) then another auction occurs when trading is restarted.
Thank you! Yeah haha some of the benchmarks took several hours (and a few re-runs) and there was a lot of learning done along the way.

Arrest, even if you're not charged ultimately there's a lot of power in being able to just initiate an arrest suddenly you're resisting arrest if you aren't cowed immediately and even if the original charge is bogus you've got the cops get out of liability free card of slapping on a resisting charge. And even if they don't pull that legal judo move you're still stuck in the system for a while and that's majorly disruptive to your livelihood even if you don't ultimately get charged with anything and get released asap.
The past where you simply called the pizza place directly and you both ended up with more money in your pocket seems better to me. Most people can still do this today, too.

For regex, you can't really distill it down to one single fastest algorithm.

It's somewhat similar even for substring search. But certainly, the fastest algorithms are going to be the ones that make use of SIMD in some way.

Why can’t it be both? You don’t expect them to provide Youtube for free do you? Also if they don’t profit how do you want them to monetize the creators? Don’t get me wrong I hate the ads, but the problem is there has to be some kind of profits for them or for anyone else to run a platform and not just youtube no?
