A confounding variable is that neurodivergants are more culpable to being traumatized and suffer greater dysfunction when traumatized.

Being on the ND spectrum (and having been through the ringer of medical professionals, with god knows how many diagnoses) I know I have a different set of tools in my toolbox and I have painstakingly found my "niche" where I excel, and have worked hard to strengthen my weaknesses.

That's not to say I haven't seriously considered killing myself numerous times in the past due to foreseeing how hopeless and painful my life was to be. But that was primarily the trauma, and its effects on my executive function and the inability to adapt to my unique circumstances (ADHD being one).

However, I'm not blind to the fact others are not as lucky as I am to be able to have not only some semblance of free will and favorable circumstances to exploit to the best of my ability. Others are less fortunate, but I have to ask what portion of that (debilitating consequences) is simply a helplessness bestowed upon them from repeated trauma and a lack of favorable environment? I believe a good portion would fall under this camp. Ergo, their unique physchological makeups have not found an environment that fits.

I’ve heard anecdotes about Costco’s leadership being principled, especially relative to what you’d expect from corporate execs.

I may be misremembering but iirc during a call with investors they were asked why they hadn’t been raising prices like everyone else is and the response was basically “because we don’t need to, so we won’t screw people over just because we can”.

- retaining wall in apartment buildings made up of dirty and rocks

> including retirement

I think social safety nets are an under-reported cause of this. 80 years ago, children were your retirement plan. Long term stable value pensions and 401ks, along with government ensured healthcare and social security, weren't a thing. If you got to 70 without kids, you would eventually not be able to work and probably die poor.

Now, almost everyone thinks not having kids could be an option, because of course they'll have some savings (the rest of society's labor), and government healthcare, and the government won't let them become destitute.
The rise of the $4.8B cosplay industry
[dupe]

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40583946
Posting this here for anyone in gaming, founders looking for emerging industries or VC's looking to learn more:

As part of our current fundraising journey at Cosgear, I get a lot of questions about the state of the cosplay market.

To answer some of the most asked questions, we’ve written a market report that highlights cosplay’s move into the mainstream. Discover the latest trends shaping fandoms, and capturing the attention of this incredibly loyal and resourceful group.

Cosplay is no longer just a niche, with giant brands and media outlets leveraging cosplay:

- Apple, Dolce&Gabbana and Sony using cosplay in major marketing and product launches

- Artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Lil Nas X cosplaying on socials and at major event

- Disney investing millions of dollars in live roleplaying cosplay vacation experiences

Check out the link for the full report.

Most of the earliest comments seem to be like this. They just aren't so obviously incredibly off-topic as they are here (because the title matches the topic better). Someone who reads the article and thinks about it, assembles information from their own past as well as quotes and sources simply can't write a response as quickly as someone who just throws out a one-liner based only on the title.

It does happen more on certain types of articles (those that "everyone" feels they have a valid opinion on) but I have noticed this on pretty much all articles. Sometimes the commenters don't even read other comments that warn people what is not relevant to TFA.
Could I use this to synchronize a docker-compose project? I’m imagining a seamless workflow for local development and prod. for certain projects it would be perfect like a blog. I’d love to not have to think about deployment at all. Like hosting a site via notion but using markdown and Astro or 11ty or similar
... so, like a significant number of articles on HN where all the comments only discuss the title or something tangentially related to it instead of the actual article? Not sure why it's any different here than on other posts.

Well, the good news is, once Pluton catches on, remote attestation will be built into the hardware and OS, so game companies won't need to install squirrely little kernel modules to implement effective anticheat.

Yes, it will suck for techies and hackers, but it'll be a better world for the ordinary consumers out there.

There's a big difference in living alone versus living in a big city though. Living in a cabin in the woods, as the example here, doesn't mean alone and cut off from everyone else. It likely just means a quieter, more self sufficient life.

Presumably if one is actually living alone in the woods they wouldn't be dependent on the larger societal systems like money, security, manufactured goods, etc. How would the get the money to start with without having a job that interacts with the outside world?
The specs don't seem all that weak. It's all relative. It could be a cool web-connected media player with a bit more functionality. It's got enough horsepower to be better at voice commands than a phone and it all likely happens locally. I think a lot of the processing and playback happened on the phone anyway. So it can really just live out as an awesome remote control.
That pretty much describes how my learning has gone.

I still learn from others, though, even if I'm in "Ri." The industry is continuing to develop. There's more stuff to learn, than I will ever be able to grok.

What is a big difference, though, is that I now lean a lot more quickly than I used to, and I do so, in a way that ensures that I understand the concept completely. I never do rote, anymore.

There are benefits to native apps too. Being able to work offline and not having your every action and input spied on in real time is a big one. It's all a question of trade offs. Users who prefer privacy, lower-resource consumption, offline use and more familiar/native interfaces will probably not want a web app. Users who don't care about their privacy and want a program avilable to them anywhere and anytime they have an internet connection might want a web app.
1080P resolution (per eye) for a virtual 100" display?
I can't work on a 1080P laptop now without swapping and resizing windows constantly. It would be frustrating to have all that screen real estate and not be able to use it.
I also wonder what "per eye" means. Are there wholly different pictures in each (yikes) or just enough to simulate 3D?
Toyota is behind the EV curve because they focused their R&D on hydrogen vehicles. They didn't make an EV vs hybrid bet, they made an EV vs hydrogen bet and it's not paying off.

Have any ICC games been played on artificial turf?
Everything you said is fine, and I'm ok with OpenGL being killed/downplayed/deprecated.

What I would have really preferred is Apple releasing Metal as a standard that anyone could use. Metal is a pretty nice API that's fairly fun and easy to use. I feel like if we need a "next gen" version of a graphics API, I would have had Vulkan for super low-level stuff, and Metal or DirectX for higher-level stuff.
Because the mechanism used is is simple and sufficient, and using JWTs would be more complex. Rails encrypts the cookie data so signatures are unnecessary.

Also, Rails has been doing this since 2007, three full years before the JWT spec was first published.
Earthquakes are not a problem for tall buildings. The resonant frequencies created by an earthquake that cause maximum damage as a function of height typically are centered around much shorter buildings. Hence why you will find very tall buildings in many areas with strong seismic activity, it is routine engineering.
My god I forgot about this, and probably for the better. Too many hours wasted on it.

> real returns on that debt, its real burden

It's real GDP, and it's not being inflated away. It theoretically attempts to, (2% inflation), but because more real debt is taken out, GDP still goes from 100% -> 105% the next year.

The real returns on this debt is hardly investments and infrastructure that will make more things in the future, it's mostly social spending like healthcare.

> that debt is serviced with taxes. Adding it to the tax burden is double counting.

If I would normally pay 35% taxes for the country's defense and social spending, but there's also servicing interest, I now have to pay 40% taxes. So it's an extra indefinite 5%/yr tax like I said, but I only got 35% of defense and social benefits.
I love the self describing makefile help parser thing, and I use the same thing myself, but most of these commands are things that Poetry could do.

I have a hard time imagining starting a new project without Poetry, since it's almost trivial to set up.

Pip freeze doesn't let you just quickly pip install something to try it out without having it be included in the requirements. It doesn't track dev dependencies, direct vs transient, or stuff that's not actually a dependency but you just installed to try something.
I have one. I wanted to use it as a general purpose status display, with a nice clicky scroll knob and nice physical buttons, which is the exact use case it was designed for.

So, this is fine. It's odd to claim that something is e-waste because it can only be used for its intended purpose, which they thought useful enough that they bought it.
Top Story: HN users are scrambling to complain about article headlines.
I have to assume this is true for every cloud service. Unless something can used locally and entirely offline it's probably spying on you constantly and pushing ads.
>I mean, making people feel good about their products and buy them is the intended outcome of most companies’ moves. The features are how they so that.

No, they really aren't. Only technical people would think such a thing; obviously, you don't work in marketing. What's important is the emotional response people have to an advertisement. Watch TV ads sometime, and see how many tout specific features, vs. how many just have a feel-good message. Sure, they might throw in a few words about some features here and there if you're listening, but the real message is the emotional feeling you'll have by owning that product, which they show you with smiling, happy people using it.
Genuine question, why instead of going down this evidently ineffective route of trying to dial back family structures and social relations we don't just go in the opposite direction? Fire up a Manhattan project for longevity and age related disease.

Not even talking about reversing aging, but if we could give the average person 100 healthy and productive years and minimize the cost of aging we've at the very least gotten rid of the single biggest pressing issue of the demographic changes.
I feel like it's a rite of passage for every engineer to write a program with the assumption of "more threads = faster", only to find their program going considerably slower.
IIRC I saw the Car Thing on sale for as cheap as $25? Actually decent specs for the price. There's so many little things you can do with this hardware. The people claiming it's ewaste just have no imagination.
The issue of course being that when there is a population crunch, there is no ‘rest of societies labor’ free, like there would be with a normal population age curve.

If the crunch is big enough, anyway.

Same with the tax base used to fund gov’t healthcare and similar programs.

That said, Japan has… problems. But they aren’t apocalyptic. At least not yet.

It's actually a great physical device. The interface is also really nice and responsive. You can tell someone put a lot of heart into this thing, from all aspects, with a goal being something a user would want. I'm impressed by the engineering.

I don't think a specific type of code should ever be the goal, in a product, because the user doesn't give af.
This article makes no sense to me. As other's have stated, the specs aren't that bad. But looking at this line just had me scratching my head:

> With a weak Amlogic processor, 4GB of eMMC storage, and only 512MB of RAM, the device is too underpowered to run anything more demanding than its intended lightweight web-based media player.

I own a Car Thing. All I want is to be able to continue to use it as a lightweight web-based media player in my car. Seriously, what else were people hoping to do with this thing?
But even with current efforts so far, I don't think we have an understanding of how/why these emergent capabilities are formed. LLMs are still a black box as ever.
Did you ever consider that all "magic" was people watching kid movies as kids and that it never was great? Like, nostalgia.

I think that comparatively to the market Star Wars was ahead of it's time, 50 years ago. But now we just tell way better actlual Sci Fi stories, which are not child oriented movies with lots of funny costumes and simple rags-to-hero plot?
Unsurprisingly, artists are more neurotic than the average person. Online artists also seem to spend a lot of time lying to each other about how AI works.

Saying "only" 512MB of RAM to run a "lightweight web-based media player" is an insult to an entire generation of people who used far less powerful computers to do far more productive things.

According to some other info I could find, the processor is an Amlogic S905D2, which is a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 up to 1.896GHz.
Which better models can you use with a VPN though, without signing up for an account?

Requiring a login makes all of your queries cross-correlate-able, unless you go through the significant pain of signing up for a new account very often (and even then, some LLM providers require SMS authentication for new accounts).

Given that, the fact that you can use DuckDuckGo without signing up from behind a VPN is pretty cool in my view.
To neurotypical people ABA may look successful, but its success comes from breaking the spirit of autistic children. It's just traumatizing you until you stop feeling anything and just learn how to fake the happy reactions expected of you while suffering silently.

In the short term it looks successful, in the long term it's the reason why meltdowns even exist and why so many autists unalive themselves.

I was an extremely autistic kid, barely able to exist in regular school, constantly hitting my head against walls, often nonverbal or having meltdowns.

To teachers, parents, caretakers therapy seemed to "fix" me, but it didn't, it caused even more trauma.

In reality, I didn't need fixing. What truly helped was an environment where I can manage how much stress I experience. Where I can take a quiet break whenever I need to.

20 years later, as an adult, I'm living a genuinely happy life, because I'm not forced to live according to a neurotypical schedule anymore.

We're in a situation where even discussing or proposing any realistic solution to this is considered too radical (how dare you propose controlling other peoples' lives). Yet societies will collapse because of it, or come close to collapse.

The only "allowed" solution is importing people from poor countries into richer ones, but disguised as something humanitarian, taking in refugees of war or whatnot.
Out of curiosity, I checked: at 1907 feet, this would make this building significantly (~2.3x) taller than the next tallest building in Oklahoma City[1], which in turn is significantly taller than the third tallest building in the state[2]. So this will probably end up looking very silly, if it gets built.

Edit: and to complete the picture, the second-tallest (would-be third) building in Oklahoma City is explicitly modeled after WTC 1.

> A significant pct of small eWidget these days uboot to Linux. Just get yourself a ftdi uart connector, find the four pads and go to town.

That assumes that u-boot isn't completely locked down (which many do for production versions), that secure boot isn't implemented, and that there's enough info about the kernel and u-boot known/available to enable a second life for such devices.

Unfortunately, unlike with x86, in the embedded ARM world everyone runs their own shit BSP that got forked off of upstream a decade ago (or more).
Huh? That's exactly the same as all the billions of people who don't work in tech. Everyone has that choice; tech workers aren't special here. You can either use the Big Tech spying services, or not (and miss out on various things as a consequence, because of the social factor of many things).

The choice is something that everyone has, and people (tech and non-tech) exercise that choice every day. Usually, though, it's people refusing to use one Big Tech service in favor of a different one: look how many younger people now don't use Facebook, but instead use TikTok.

> SpaceX's claim was that IFT3 would enter an orbit

You are claiming that, SpaceX never claimed that, only "orbital velocity" meaning "orbital speed" in this context. They wanted to test if the Starship is capable of reaching orbit, but w/o entering orbit for safety reasons. For that they wanted to achieve "orbital velocity" but of course not in an "orbital trajectory".

US traffic engineers can't be trusted on anything about safety. If they designed roads to make speeding as easy as possible and to kill as many pedestrians as possible, it would look no different from what they do today.

Speeding/speeds would be reduced if they simply designed roads to be harder to drive above the speed limit on, like being narrower and less straight. They don't do this.
