> Fractions is exactly an area of mathematics where I learned by understanding the concept and how it was represented and then would use that understanding to re-reason the procedures I had a hard time remembering.

Sure, I did that plenty too, but that doesn't refute the point that memorization is core to understanding mathematics, it's just a specific kind of memorization that results maximal flexibility for minimal state retention. All you're claiming is that you memorized some core axioms/primitives and the procedures that operate on them, and then memorized how higher-level concepts are defined in terms of that core. I go into more detail of the specifics here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40669585

I agree that this is a better way to memorize mathematics, eg. it's more parsimonious than memorizing lots of shortcuts. We call this type of memorizing "understanding" because it's arguably the most parsimonious approach, requiring the least memory, and machine learning has persuasively argued IMO that compression is understanding [1].

I wouldn't defend america's immigration system (in my opinion the world should be borderless and you should be able to vote in any location where you can demonstrate that you've performed work for a wage or something like that), but if anyone should be allowed to seek labor by moving freely, it is the unskilled, who are already tremendously disadvantaged by globalization. Skilled labor is unlikely to be tremendously impoverished by being unable to move to the absolute optimal location.

In other words, one could say its insane that we draw imaginary lines on paper and then confine human beings to those lines based on the accident of their birth location.

Steam was doing sales before the other stores popped up and I was acquiring games faster than I could play them even then.

Yes, some users are truly experts at driving Open Source developers to the point of burnout.

I use iTerm2, in pretty sensitive environments, where 'OK, you didn't enable this feature', closely followed by 'not that we had Internet access here anyway, LOL' were (though-experimentally, as are all the 'concerns' of 'some users') eclipsed by 'hey, why is it a thing to enter sensitive data on command lines anyway -- should we not have ways to avoid that?'

This is a bit of a tired viewpoint, and is evidently proven not true time after time. The collective despair/euphoria of market participants is extremely powerful and well documented, at least as far back as dutch tulips.

Stock valuations are relative, and they are relatively misvalued most of the time. That's why there are (albeit rare) funds that are capable of outperforming the market for decades - Berkshire, and Medallion for example.

It's certainly possible that AMD is valued (almost) fairly. It's just as likely that it's relatively misvalued for no reason other than emotions (lack of hype).
> the first thing they mentioned was french language content

Based on the quote above, the first thing they mentioned was “local news on radio and television”.
Considering the entire OS now supports deeply integrated ChatGPT, it’s abundantly clear that this was the case. I think George should revert this perversion of his product architecture security theater feature. It makes me angry that iTerm is a worse product now because of the anti-ai outrage.

If you download this plugin, instead of the feature being securely integrated into the main product binary, there’s a new binary on your system that takes arbitrary JSON and performs network requests. Yes I know curl exists, but thats the point: we don’t need another tool for this that’s way less scrutinized and now opens my system up for data exfiltration in ways that weren’t originally possible. It also suffers from the traditional IPC pitfalls present when not using secure XPC with app groups. It’s objectively worse.

Edit: I’m talking about the separate binary plugin when I call for George to revert. The secure defaults config that can be MDM managed is perfect, simple, and fit for purpose to secure iTerm as a product. Moving the network calls that talk to the configured openai-compatible api server a separate binary is a farce.

No, they want to be seen taking it seriously, so they say that they take it very seriously. But if you will actually audit their system you will find they do not in reality and it was just a negotiation tactic.

It isn't just prices alone. New ICE cars have also gone up in price a lot.

And EVs are marketed more towards the high end because mostly rich Europeans have a single family home with a charger at home where the EVs slot in. Most ICE car owners don't have chargers at home or in the vicinity meaning mostly the rich can quickly dump their ICES and replace them with an EV without loosing UX.

EU car manufacturers are just following the local market/demographics. Cheap EVs exist here, like the Dacia spring, but that's kinda crap and the charring infra issue still remains.
I've got friends who tried to use ChatGPT to generate regex to capture racial slurs to moderate them (perfectly valid request since they're trying to stop trolls from saying awful things). It vehemently refused to do so, probably due to overtly strict "I'll never say the nword, you can't fool me" rules that were shoved into ChatGPT. Look, if your AI can't be intelligent about sensible requests, I'm going to say it. It's not intelligent, it's really useless (at least regarding that task, and related valid tasks).

Who cares if someone can get AI to say awful things? I can write software that spits out slurs without the help of AI. Heck, I could write awful things here on HN, is AI going to stop me? Doubt it, nobody wants to foot the bill for AI moderation, it can only get so much.
On this issue, I don't think there's been a change. I don't believe in universalism, which Americans on both the left and right tend to do. I opposed the Iraq War because I thought America had no business trying to bring democracy to Iraq (and knew Iraqi society couldn't handle democracy). Similarly, I oppose current U.S. efforts to impose universal norms. America shot a bunch of striking workers and polluted the environment on the way to becoming rich. Why shouldn't Bangladesh have that same prerogative?

> There cannot be any concern for the consequences, as NATO expansion to Russian borders had no concerns for the security of Russian people. If Americans don’t like the consequences of the actions of their government, they can vote in another administration.

The security of the Russian people was never at risk. "NATO is a threat" was not an issue from December 1991 to February 2022. As an American who was born in 1991, I can tell you, during my lifetime there has never been a serious discussion of invasion of Russia in the US. Why would there be? We were very happy when the Cold War ended. We don't want to go back to the days of nuclear sabre rattling. It's well understood by everyone in the US that such a conflict would simply degrade into a humanity-ending thermonuclear exchange. There's a reason why the American government waited over a year to authorize the Ukrainian use of American weapons to target Russian soil.

The idea that NATO would invade Russia after 1991 is another strawman invented by the oligarchs of Russia. It gives the Russian people another supposed threat to focus on instead of the fact that most of them are impoverished by Western standards and that their government is heavily authoritarian and openly works with the bratva. If Boris Guyevitch is focused on the possibility of getting to fight in another Great Patriotic War, he's not focused on how the oligarchs rob him blind and oppress anyone who dares to fix the troubles of Russian society.

Do not buy into it. There's a reason the US drastically relaxed its defensive posture in Europe after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

> As a European I’m also going to share that we have had enough of Americans. Go home. We don’t want you on our land.

That seems to directly contradict the official position of about 31 countries in Europe: the NATO member states and one country that very, very badly wants to be in NATO. That country is interested because of a gross violation of its sovereignty by Russia that has genocidal aims. Hell, the latest two members joined in direct response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I suppose if Europeans don't like it they can vote in another administration, which is something the people of Russia very explicitly are not allowed to do.

That said they could courteously request it get turned off rather than freak out over it (it is free after all), but I think people don't like surprises out of staples like a terminal.

And we've been trying to tell you this about the Liberal Party for 50+ years. It's a corrupt opportunistic self-interested institution.

This decade, they're all about "debt doesn't matter" neo-Keynesianism. An election or two later and they'll flip again. But you can count on seeing the same faces and them putting the Party first.

From the perspective of "some corporate environments will block your software if it doesn't have this feature", then I suppose I can understand the frustration that users felt.

I would argue that there's more nuance, but the feeling is reasonable - I would also be frustrated if a piece of software that I used and loved at work was in danger of being taken away because of the addition of a feature that I didn't want in the first place!
> Surely during downturns you want to government to step up spending to stabilise the economy

That model might work if they cut spending during good times.

As is, the modern government spending model is that they (almost) constantly increase whether things are going well or poorly. Then the next time there's a downtown, government spending as a portion of the (shrinking) economy is a higher % and therefore it takes more to "stabilize" it this time around.

Think of driving down the road. If it's a normal straight road in good weather, you minimally adjust the wheel back and forth and if something happens, you have many degrees of freedom and even momentum pointing you in the right direction.

Now think of a road at night in a storm with lots of curves. As you tighten your hands on the wheel and steer back and forth, things are quite a bit different. The direction you want to go now vs 10 seconds from now are a little different. And a disruption - however so small - may need a bigger reaction to avoid and a bigger after-reaction to recover. Momentum can easily work against you.

> it's a stable 1G maneuver

It’s positive G, but 0.5 up to 2G (otherwise, given that lift is “towards the ceiling of the plane”, so not always straight up during the manoeuvre, you’d accelerate downward, and arresting the fall requires >1G).
Moore’s law per power died a while ago, cost per transistor before that, but the speed advantage of waiting 10 or 100 times less is still attractive.

> If they could increase profitability by raising their prices before the tax, why wouldn’t they have already done it?

Because now they have an external reason they can point to, similar to “inflation”… even if the extra charges end up being mostly profits.

There's been a lot of redundancies. Games industry hit particularly badly. I'm not sure how much of it is "real" and how much is sentiment; personally, I think profitable companies having layoffs is always "sentiment".

The interest rate rises were intended to contract the economy and reduce wage inflation pressure by increasing unemployment, and they seem to have had that effect.

The AI bubble is also causing a lot of companies to believe in the idea of replacing their staff with AI.

Then when I'm looking for new work, I reach out to them. You might be able to find a lot of them on LinkedIn still. Many are likely in new companies.

> Also money is fungible

Money is fungible but a tax on a specific thing is not fungible to a 'general increase in taxes', raising tax on gasoline its not the same as raising income tax, because the proportion of tax paid is based on gasoline consumption not income.

This tax effectively amounts to an import tax, since the big streaming content is all American companies (Netflix, Disney, Amazon, HBO). It's a protectionist tax to keep up local production just like a tax on imported cars or on foreign owned property is.

> Perhaps the AI boom will decrease the demand from now on. Waiting for better times may be futile?

I'm not claiming to be very knowledgeable about AI/LLMs or the job market or "the economy" in general, but I'd be absolutely shocked to find that the AI stuff has any impact on the current IT job market.

I know that some people are using AI tools to help generate code and stuff, but it seems like those tools can't even generate correct code a lot of the time- and that's with a professional human programmer asking it to. I can't imagine that these tools are increasing productivity so much that it could actually reduce hiring.
