Germany sees company bankruptcies soar
I wonder why that is...maybe because they manufacture and produce everything?

As an example, my humble homecountry of Switzerland was the fourth-worst CO2 polluter worldwide if you count CO2 by consumption, not production.
No, all text and images are 100% man-made. It's always astonishing how many people don't understand the crucial role of (open source) software and climate change. Just look at the massive greenwashing that has taken place in recent years with manipulated CO2 offsetting figures. If we want to trust numbers about the impact on our environment and their part of our prices, there is no way around making these numbers traceable using open source / open science methods. And LLMs are not traceable.

Linking the economy to the environment sounds great but in practice this needs to change.
As I only just recently found out about Boeing’s involvement in making missiles which Israel uses in Gaza, it would unfortunately not surprise me if these particular conspiracy hypothesis are more than just hypothesis.

At least for Boeing, they’ll be benefiting from the fear other potential whistleblowers may have.

But it’s also possible that Boeing don’t know about the deaths because someone else has done it for them. But that’s when we start going down the rabbit hole of suspects from Mossad to the CIA!

Regardless, the big question is: Would they have the stomach to do it if they they could get away with it?

…to ME, that has a very easy answer.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Not rational enough? Or too rational?
Hard to know without citations what that means in practice. And retweets? I don't know. I like every YouTube video I watch regardless of whether I like it, so I know what I've watched.

Things that you could do accidentally with a thumbslip should only have a certain weight attached, and being quick to reach for a description that includes people who want Jewish people dead should be done cautiously.
I have not lied, another smear from you.

It doesn't matter what Kamprad's political opinions was in his youth, using socialism to take over private companies as the Social democrats did is still wrong regardless. Are you going to call the family Rausing (creator of Tetra Pak) for fascist as well because the didn't want union bureaucrats to take over their creation?

In what way would union bureaucrats be better stewards than business owners? We had union bureaucrat recently who ran the country, Stefan Löfven, probably the worst prime minister in history.

Social democrats during the leadership of Olof Palme were definitely radicals. During this era they expanded the government and increased taxation massively, which led to a high currency devaluation, i.e made the Swedes poorer, typical socialism. As Olof Palme's successor Göran Persson said it, something like ~ Social democrats always puts democracy before socialism, Olof Palme did the opposite ~. Fitting end that Palme got murdered like something you hear about from 3rd World Marxist kleptocracies.

More than 100% in taxes is 100% true, here you can read all about it

https://timbro.se/smedjan/den-sanna-sagan-om-pomperipossa-i-...

That is why the Government reacted and made a change to the tax legislation within two months, why would they if it wasn't over 100%? Even the most radical couldn't defend this absurdity.

Saltsjöbadsavtalet was not about parliamentary decision, it was about consensus between employers and employees, which led to the Golden years. A consensus that the Social democrats broke when they passed LAS in the seventies. (Also Social democrats is again abandoning the Swedish model by accepting that EU can pass minimal wage legislation)

Without Kamprad there would be no IKEA, thus nowhere for workers to work. That is the thing to understand, Kamprad was one in a billion, radicals exists in the thousands, useless of course because they don't create anything of value.

Why everything is tied up around the stock market is because of neoliberalism, a consequence of the right wing's radicalization as I described earlier, typical for neoliberalism and marxism is that they both believe in printing money out of thin air and then speculate with it. Who benefits? Not the poor of course, it is the receivers of that printed money, for neoliberalism that would be bankers and capitalists and in marxism that would be bureaucrats and politicians, as it was in the Soviet union.
If ever traded their USD for another asset the value of USD would fall to zero too.

Does that mean USD is not real money either?
The same reason that nothing good ever gets done in governments. They only lead for short terms and so never make any long lasting policies that would actually create change over time.
>People now read more than anytime in history

The consume more tripe (including written tripe) on the internet, not more books (physical or of the e-kind), even when they do buy them it's mostly self-help and other low-brow stuff. Even professors and supposedly educated people read less and less books, and can concentrate less on what they read.

Not sure if Gen Z is making a u-turn on this - I doubt it, but am open to be proven wrong (and also, they do it at the library? Maybe a small minority?)
I would love to see Nintendo throwing a fit if they had to allow homebrew to run on their consoles.

And I think it would be good! Why don't they get a cut of every game sale and get to block other companies for producing software for their hardware.
Ok you can't just say "plenty" and not name any examples. I would personally prefer examples from "1st world countries" group. I am not criticising, just trying to figure out where to move ;)
They’re using hyperbole to illustrate the point; don’t miss the point or deliberately try to derail the conversation.
Especially since there is no new value generated that could trickle down. Such "rent seeking" is only redistribution towards lend owners.

Why does AMD nerf RDNA3 when they're so far behind Nvidia and Apple in Blender performance? Do you have benchmarks for when AMD doesn't nerf Blender performance?

M3 Max GPU uses at most 60-70w. Meanwhile, the 7900XT uses up to 412w in burst mode.[0] TSMC N3 (M3 Max) uses 25-30% less power than TSMC N5 (7900XT). [1] In other words, if 7900XT used N3 and optimizes for the same performance, it would burst to 300w instead which is still 5-6x more than M3 Max. In other words, the perf/watt advantage of the M3 Max is mostly not related to the node used. It's the design.

I sometimes play with this thought as well, and I think we will see more of it as AI technologies allow for more realistic behavior of virtual agents.

The reason why I think having virtual agents instead of real players is important is because real players are not invested enough. They can always switch to a different reality whereas virtual agents are stuck and have to live with the consequences of their actions. That does change the dynamics a lot.
This reminds me of the “Plane Crash” documentary where a 727 was crashed into a desert in Mexico. Definitely worth a watch for any aviation enthusiasts: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Boeing_727_crash_experi...

I was so fed up with all the bullshit from 2010-2013 with the OO fetishism the "treat PHP like it's Java" from fresh students and graduates that I had to abandon it and switch to Go, which gave me peace of mind and a factor 100 performance boost.

Check out Roboze on this. (disclosure: investor). They do a fantastic job with this, and in fact their 3d printing machines are widely used in aerospace and defense.
There’s always these weird bottlenecks in the supply chain though.

My favorite example is during Covid where reduced boron quantities resulted in less Pyrex glass that makes test tubes meaning transporting vaccines was at points rate limited.

I’ve read similar points in the components for lasers to ASML but can’t remember specifics. Chip shortage is the funny one, ASML require more chips that limit their turnaround times which in itself limits chips.
It's really not, I've used python in the past but prefer R for this.

As it stands excel is a better presentation layer than almost all BI tools once you're past the modelling and analysis stages.
It's always possible to model a system on a computer, the question is what assumptions you take. We don't have a perfect model of human behavior or even much consensus on how humans behave, so your assumptions are going to drive your results
When I was a little kid, my mom often took me with her for shopping. One time there was a big barrel full of some cheap products, and bored and weird as I was, I started sorting and stacking everything in the barrel. Looked really nice. At some point a clerk came over and explained to me that this is not in the best interest of the shop, as people are more likely to buy stuff if it's in this cluttered mess, as it's more inviting to quickly grab something. For some reason that made sense to my 6 year old self so I happily abandon the stacking and moved to something else. Note, I'm generally rather a messy person. Maybe it's the fault of that clerk.
Type checking is horribly slow in Swift if 59k things to check causes 30 seconds of slowdown. That would mean that on a 4ghz processor it requites more than 2 billion operations per check. That’s insane no matter how you slice it.
Exactly! I also started to pretend scroll with my tongue and it actually felt quite intuitive. It is a very clever solution! But they will probably need a well written driver which rejects accidental touches since at any point in time my tongue touches the roof of my mouth.
> We aren't the state

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

That's literally in the constitution and not just that of the USA.

> I don't care that

Rich people do care, they want the best healthcare the world can provide, the best education for their children, and want it now, not in 50 years when the "rising tide lifts all boats". Do you consider yourself inferior to them? Then why wouldn't you care?

> Temporary inequality leads to - over time - an uplift of the fundamental things for everyone

"A rising tide lifts all boats", "Trickle down" these are all aphorisms invented by rich people in order to justify their hoarding while there are people who can't afford a roof over their heads. To keep the outcasts calm, waiting for their turn to enjoy a small fraction of what others enjoy entirely now.

EV conversions of older models probably fills this tiny niche quite well.

I had assumed the overly loud voices complaining about this "issue" were just the latest iteration of intelligent people inventing convoluted reasons to go along with their political tribe's insane policy preferences.

Like if you're a Republican on HN you can't just openly deny climate change exists any more (though a few still try), you want plausible deniability that your intense love for nuclear power isn't just an excuse to spread outdated lies about renewables.

Similarly you can loudly announce that you'll never buy an EV, and then when people put you in the "coal rolling idiot" bucket you can surprise them by revealing that it's actually a ridiculously niche concern about too much tech that you've invented to go along with your political peers in their hatred of EVs. And people reading then move you into a subtly different subsection of the anti-EV crank bucket in their mind.
Maybe if you have skill issues.
The question is, are these companies the one that still work by fax and think the internet is a fad?
The U.S. is an entity that has duly enacted laws and some of them require paying taxes. But nobody made the “laws” that the U.S. pretends to enforce on the international stage.

That’s my beef: if the U.S. wants to meddle in other country’s affairs “because it can” nobody can stop it. But it’s insulting to disguise what is an exercise of power as the enforcement of “law.” And if Americans really do believe there is law that binds the whole world that’s where the religious nutjobbery comes in. Law is something that only exists within a state that has the monopoly on violence to enforce it.

(Intervening in World War II can be justified as an exercise is protecting U.S. security. Intervening in Rwanda cannot, and is an example of Americans believing it’s their job to enforce God’s law everywhere in the world.)
Or maybe the non clickbaity ones just don't make it to HN?

Current airplane seats are set up too closely to fit my femurs. There's simply not enough space for me to put my head down, independently of where my arms go ;(
I wish they had modelled the effects of installing the passenger seats facing backwards. Passengers have no need to see forward in a plane, different from pilots, and in the event of sudden deceleration the seat would help cushion the impact, what I believe would probably improve safety in most survivable crash scenarios.

Speaking of bugbears. I have been fairly horrified by nuclear war and have read a ton of stuff about it.

If you aren't immediately killed by a fireball, or roasted by radiated heat, and are outside the "everything gets blown down" radius, it seems the major immediate danger is extreme winds from the blast. (Though radiated heat is also a line of sight effect)

So it absolutely makes sense that you'd want to be in a position that prevents all kinds of glass and debris impact, let alone getting thrown yourself.

My mental model is "instant tornado" and since I'm in the north, we all have basements to run to.

I wouldn't know, I've won EVE years ago ;). But this kinda drives the point home even harder, if that economy deteriorated after the departure of the economist. Assuming you infer that an economist is necessary¹ for a well-working MMORPG economy, I'm quite loathe to accept a monetized "metaverse" built without consulting economists.

¹ well, CCP could also just be bad at managing the EVE economy without an economist. But that loops us back to the head article's discussion; other MMORPGs don't seem better off.
No I don't suggest that at all. That's a strawman argument right there.

Theres no need for R&D. Real rubber tyres are environmentally friendly as the abrasion particles are natural. They are much better performing in terms of grip, but just more expensivce to produce.
IIRC the military use real rubber tyres still because of their longer life and better performance.

Well, guess why. Once you get a logical foundation on how the Universe behaves, all of the tribalist, messianic babble goes down the sink.

The problem with Humanities/Arts is that they love being hideous and fancy instead of being just fine with any truth we found. No metter which side of Politics you choose; they love having biases like nothing so their prejudices stay on top of the facts.

Look what happened with Galileo, or the Google guy stating that, yes, there are differences on which careers men and women choose _on average_, (hormones rule us a lot), and then most 'woke people' began a witch hunt. These people forgot to extrapolate that the more social it's a society, with granted rights, (and nurturing/caring rights/aids), the less the differences will happen on a future.
And, yes, education and context plays a huge rule.
We are like computers, having civilized 'software'(evolved social rules, modern law, 'weird' non-animal customs...) but with outdated hardware (Neolithic era genetics and hormones).

That will change over millenia, for sure.

Science, OTOH, tries to kill any bias since the beginning.

Swift’s stated goal has always been to be a language which can scale from systems programming to scripts. Apple themselves are writing more and more of their own stuff in Swift.

Calling it “a language aimed at app developers” is reductive.
Sounds like a pretty good solution for those who can't wait for neural interfaces to become available (and affordable).
Agreed. I think at one point I either saw that you could get an offline kindle-esque Wikipedia device or I contemplated what it would take to make one and saw it wouldn't be terrible. If I didn't hallucinate that product I'd expect it to be the better answer. The world changes so rapidly (unless all you need to know is stuff from an old game) that I don't ever consider using printed materials as reference anymore.
