As a car-person, gear head / petrol head, etc., this has always been somewhat baffling to me. I've always been in it for the speed, the exciting sensation of your body moving through space. Lots of things end up being kind of cool by association: fat tires, wings, loud exhaust, a lopey idle. But to me they were only interesting because of what they implied, something that can go fast. Some people add those things without being able to go fast, which I've always found distasteful, a thing frequently derided as "all show and no go". It took me a while to accept that some people really are in it for the noise. I can't really knock it, I'm getting a sensory experience that I enjoy but can't quite explain, and I suppose they are too. But keep it away from my house. ;-)

Once I was riding my motorcycle to work, and another guy rode passed me on his motorcycle. His exhaust was so loud it gave me a headache almost instantly. I can't imagine how much it must hurt to actually ride the thing.

> Why is nobody wearing a TT Helmet and visor on a normal road stage?

Because it doesn't work as much alone as in combination with specific aero body position. But you can't be in that position in a normal road stage because the aero handlebar extensions are forbidden in mass start stages.

Also there are less aero benefits to be had when you ride in the peloton behind other riders.

I don't really get the gushing over this post in the comments, it papers over entire fields of program analysis in a single breath. While I like Graydon and respect his point of view, this paragraph is hopelessly over-simplified.

> Conversely, languages that have a GC have unfortunately often not felt it necessary to bother having strong local reasoning support. Java for example has a GC and also uncontrolled mutable aliasing, so weak local reasoning and consequently more-challenging formal verification. If you write to an object in Java every other variable referencing that object "sees" the change, so any logical formula that held over all those variables might be invalidated by the write unless you use some fancy method of tracking possible write-sets or separating the heap.

First of all, there have been several languages that regions in their type system and are still backed by GC, so this is a strawman. Take, for example, Pony. Second, there is an entire field of pointer analysis and escape analysis that can and does infer uniqueness and reasons about whether two references can be aliases. Third, the whole point of static types is to slice apart the heap into independently non-aliasing parts using this technology called "classes" and "fields". We're not talking about JavaScript here, I think we should stop pretending like Java and C# and Scala and a bazillion GC'd languages don't have local reasoning about mutable state.

> Sugar is addictive. Do we ban sugar, or regulate its consumption? No! Instead we educate parents to limit their childrens' sugar intake.

And... It's not working, right? More and more kids and people are obese, sugar is added to many products that shouldn't have it in the USA because it's not regulated, so competitors adding sugar have an advantage over others who want to keep it out of their products.

> I do not work for any big social media platform nor benefit from them, but stop blaming successful social media platforms that have mastered UX optimization, for stupid parents' actions that cause their children to get addicted.

> Educate the parents instead to spend more right time with their children.

You are falling into the trap of thinking individual action will solve systemic issues.

The parents might be educated and want to curtail their children's usage of social media but for a kid in 2024 to be denied access to these platforms by their parents is to be ostracised from their peers who will continue using it. You need a majority of parents from the same social circle to curtail all of their kids usage, how do you approach that? If the most popular kids are using it and shun away the non-users as "weird" or "lame", there's an immense peer pressure to participate in it.

I will keep blaming "successful" social media companies for creating ways to manipulate people into using their products, even when those products are causing harm.

Wouldn't you blame the tobacco companies for creating products (and advertisement campaigns) that are harmful to people? Or would you also ask for people to be educated instead of actions taken by governments to forbid advertisement of tobacco products, heavy taxation to create deterrents for usage, etc.?

It does. But the reason I clicked the link is I thought it was about something written with the ML programming language. I had a compiler class in college that was taught in ML, and it is a language that has influenced others. I have not used it since. This is second or third time I’ve clicked a HN link thinking that.

You are correct, ML now almost always stands for machine learning, and that is what it stands for in this case. I was just wondering if anyone else out there did the same thing. Looks like a hard, “No.” :)

That’s why they are fixed percentage not fixed. Trading fees go up with the amount of capital moved but mostly in a linear fashion.

Calculating your trading costs (and usually more importantly slippage) is absolutely table stakes for a fund that trades.

For most funds that’s relatively easy as the trading component is a cost center that you can outsource for predictable prices.

For funds that aren’t treating trades as cost centers, well it’s presumably part of what you are selling so you better be good at it.

I went this direction slowly over time, originally because I didn’t want to support what I see as being an incredibly inhumane animal agriculture system, but now I’ve found I get a lot more satisfaction from an occasional really awesome, expensive cut of meat than I did having cheaper meat more frequently.

"approximately everyone knowing that eating too much sugar is bad for them"

That's not really the case. For many people, if they know that too much sugar is bad for them, they think of sugar as in white sugar they add to the coffee or in terms of candybars, when instead they should think about carbohydrates as a whole. Replacing soft drinks with orange/apple juice many people would consider a healthy choice, but in the end you're still trading sugary water for sugary water (unlike eating whole fruit which has fiber and other elements to balance out the fructose). Then you get into potatoes, pasta, rice and bread which don't help when trying to lose or maintain weight.

Ask around amongst your friends and family. Tell them that you're trying a low fat diet. They will congratulate you on your life choices. Tell them you're trying a low carb diet. They will tell you you're killing yourself and you should stop because body needs energy to survive. Most "diet" products replace fats with carbs, which may even be a net negative in some cases when trying to diet.

> We don't even know how much we don't know, but I would intuitively say very much.

I choose to believe that there is, and always will be, much more that we do not know than what we know. That is truly exciting because it means our curiosity can never be satiated.
Convenience is a big reason. People look at me when I use rakes in the garden. Just to save some time I ended up getting a cordless leaf blower but my wife thought she might find it fun too. The area we have to clear was never going to support the maintenance of a gas-powered blower.

Separately, I was tired of the stand up vacuums for smaller jobs so got a corded stick vacuum. It's still a bit of a hassle even though I use it frequently to avoid messes getting out of control with the kids and pets. I know that if it was cordless it would get much more proactive usage by others. The design of the corded vac could be improved to make it easier but there is little incentive to do that.
I'm not so sure. There's plenty of patterns in software that are obviously addictive. Think of time limited items in a store or loot boxes in games with big splashy animations.

I suspect there are patterns in social media that contribute to addictive design (visible up/down votes, for instance.)

> I have been running the best of the best in tools and battery tech: Milwaukee.

I've found Makita to be better for my line of work at least. I love my older Milwaukee tools. My 10" chopsaw from the early 90s is a solid beast, as well as my worm drive. Newer Milwaukee is a crapshoot, I've had three dead batteries from them, none from Makita. Two burnt out super sawzalls, and a miter saw with no idea what true is.

I will say Milwaukee tools have more power to them, but my Makita ones are more reliable. Less frills, less price too.

I am biased as I do more finishing then rough work, so I have an understanding that Milwaukee is better/quicker for that, but I'll stick with Makita for battery tools. I can go two, three days on a single charge with my miter.
Man, back when I did F# for a living, I really really wanted to use this for production, but I could never quite get sign-off. I was a big fan of Idris at the time, and F* seemed like it could more or less satisfy that itch while still being compatible with F#. One thing is that there didn't really appear to be any kind of IDE support, and while I'm alright just hacking up everything in Vim, I think the rest of my team was not.

I never really got to use it, and all I've ever done with it is a few of the toy examples on their website, but I haven't completely given up on it either. I think it's a much more approachable system than Coq or Agda, but still gives you sexy dependent types.

My PhD stuff is in Isabelle, and I do really like Isabelle, but I find that dependent types translate a bit more directly to "real code" than Isabelle's higher-order logic, so I would really like to utilize it for something, particularly with its .NET integration.

Pentax cameras take a different approach with stabilization--rather than stabilize inside lens, which means every lens is shipping its own stabilization solution, they stabilize the sensor itself.

It limits stabilization to two axes, but now any lens is essentially stabilized. And it also lets them do some tricks, since it's so integrated. One is to do sub-pixel sensor shifts for higher res photos, and another is to do astrophotography tracking when GPS data is available.

Much more limited in scope than a full tracking gimbal, but not bad considering it's built into the camera (earlier bodies had a GPS attachment that slotted into the hot shoe connector): https://www.lonelyspeck.com/pentax-k-1-mark-ii-astrophotogra...
So you're saying that you believe it's possible that the problem with meat isn't the meat itself, but it's possibly just the way that it's consumed, e.g. burnt and with lots of sauce (as an example).

But to me that feels like a distraction, because have you seen what vegans eat? vegan pizza with "fake cheese", vegan burgers, highly processed hummus on a daily basis, etc.

From my own observations, almost all vegans I know are vegan for ethical reasons, not for health reasons. The fact that it appears to be healthier is just a nice bonus. Therefore, claims that plant-based diets are just healthier because they don't ever burn their burger or put sauce on their bun, feels incorrect to me.

I have been dreaming of creating a mixed hardware/cloud service that would make this possible again in today's internet. Basically, you can open an account and get your own domain and nextcloud + mastodon + wordpress instance. You pay based on how much storage you use. If you want, you can get your entire cloud shipped to your home, attach it to a router there, and then you only pay for my service to be the gateway to the server you have at home. All the data is at home, you have full control.

Of course, the defaults would have to be basically zero-management. But people would be able to choose how much control over their own data they want versus how convenient they want it to be. Right now, it's pretty much all or nothing.

I think you can rephrase the question as “where is the value in owning stock? If it’s only that you hope to sell it to someone else at a higher price later, isn’t it just a pyramid scheme? At least with dividends and voting rights there are clear and tangible benefits apart from speculation”.

And the answer could then be that you’re investing in a company which allows them to grow, and your money with them. Or that you store your money in a medium that hopefully at least keeps up with inflation (especially if you’ve spread the risk). Or just that you’ve taken a gamble and hope that other people will think the stock is worth more at some later point than it was when you bought it.
So, being dirt poor and cut off from communication in a rich society is correlated with unhappiness. Interesting finding.

The interrupt is where walkie talkie really shines. Instead of asking to bother someone, where they now may feel obliged to engage, you just walkie talkie them with what you want to discuss. They can listen in real time or they can ignore and then listen ore read when they're available. Perhaps it's because our team is global that this works as timezones are hard.

Fancy astrophotography tripods--really, the mount--do that rotation for you. That's why they exist. Even fancier ones exist that permit close-to-arbitrary slewing. Those can be used as a go-to-mount where with the right software, it can image wherever in the sky you're pointed, take the current time, and plate solve for where it's pointed, then finally point at whatever target you actually want to shoot.

For the very long exposure times, you can also hook a second camera up and run closed loop control on a specific star to keep your primary image sensor trained on the correct target to even tighter tolerances. There's companies making cameras that combine both the primary and secondary camera into a single housing so you don't need to fit a second camera + lens to your setup, or insert a prism to pick off part of the image to go to a second camera.

Amateur astrophotography today does tricks you needed access to a dedicated lab to do in previous decades. It's amazing!
