Uh, why so serious? I called it "a bit of a stretch ;D" - there was a reason for that smiley. I'm well aware BE is alive enough to be around.

If you can't live without knowing, sure, my stake in dismissing big endian architectures is that I can't in fact dismiss BE architectures because I have users on it. And it's incredibly painful to test because while my users have such hardware, actually buying a good test platform or CI system is close to impossible. (It ended up being Freescale T4240-QDS devkits off eBay. Not a good sign when the best system you can get is from a company that doesn't exist anymore.)

And at some point it's a question about network protocols/encodings being designed to a "network byte order" determined in the 80s to be big endian. When almost everything is LE, maybe new protocols should just stick with LE as well.

Yeah, I don't understand the use-case for hydrogen here. Why convert from electricity -> hydrogen -> electricity if everything is stationary? I suppose it could be useful for storage or long-distance transmission, but it seems like it would be much less efficient than other, simpler options.

"almost all" is correct, they are nearly universal. At least for residential windows, maybe not in offices.
There are PCB designs linked (maybe not good?) and an STL for a case. Just didn't know if you had missed those.

I've recently discovered it isn't just per SoC. It's per device. You can't even buy a new laptop with an existing SoC without first checking how far along the manufacturer of that specific device is with mainlining the device tree for that specific device and providing tbds and whatever else. And then they have to do that for every kernel version or you'll be stuck with a device that can't be updated beyond 6.11 forever. Just what.
Guessing their "audience" will already know.
You still have to pay interest. At 5% interest rates compounded after 4 years it’s cheaper to just pay CGT.

The wealthy pay the vast majority of taxes. You might not think it’s enough, but let’s be realistic here. The biggest government expenditures don’t scale with someone’s wealth. So wealthy people aren’t consuming more government services yet they pay a much larger absolute sum.
But like, why? It's a worthless point. If there were five taxes of one percent each versus one tax of 20% how is the one tax somehow better? Which one would you choose, getting taxed five times or once?

It doesn't really matter that there's a FICA and an income tax and a payroll tax in the end, what really matters is the overall tax rate and if that's fair given some moral decision of fairness of sharing costs of society.

If a city chooses to levy sales taxes and hotel taxes to capture more revenue from visitors because their town is a tourist destination and want to collect from tourists more than locals that's fine. I won't weep a tear for those getting "double taxed" on their vacations.

A lot of mathematical problems that originally seemed important [EDIT: unimportant], like "how hard is it to factor big prime numbers?" or "what kind of mathematical structure describes composed rotations of a sphere" turned out to be way more important than they seemed. The former is at the root of a substantial amount of cryptography (either directly in e.g. RSA or indirectly in e.g. elliptic curve cryptography) and the latter turns out to form the foundation for quantum mechanics, neither of which was remotely in the mind of people originally considering either problem.

Seemingly simple, but practically intractable, problems like the Collatz conjecture, twin primes, etc. tell us that there's something we don't know about relatively simple structures, and the hope is that by studying those simple structures, we might discover something new that is more generally applicable. The interconnections in math tend to form an extremely dense graph, so these long-unsolved problems tend to have lots of established connections to other questions. For example, the Collatz conjecture would tell us something about computability theory, since the next Busy Beaver number we know little about turns out to depend on Turing machines that encode it (alongside other very similar problems).

Mathematicians focus on esoteric stuff too; it usually doesn't make it into the popular press. "Is the fifth fundamental group of the 19-dimensional Pulasky-Robinson manifold of type III infinite?" is the sort of question that comes up all the time but never makes it onto the front page of HN. Questions like "what's the smallest uncomputable busy beaver number" or "is the twin prime conjecture true" are the ones you'll hear about because they're the ones where the question makes some sense to a layperson.
They don't seem that useful to me; perhaps that is why our perspectives differ. They seem, at most, like slight conveniences. But the other half is the cost of the service: regardless of whether something is useful (wide spectrum, there), it has to cover the costs of providing it. It costs a lot to provide a service like chatgpt. So far, I don't see people rushing to pay for it. I wouldn't pay for it, in part because sorting out all the misinformation eliminates a lot of the benefit, from my perspective.

Most things that succeed have a very clear value proposition that justifies their cost.

But I watch, and if your envisioned future arrives, that will be interesting.

> To me having a separate class to deserialize each kind of XML document to its respective object

You mean a separate function? Or a separated method in some class? (Given that C# can't do top level functions...)

Or else, you may want a type parametrized function that uses reflection to populate an object of any class you want. That would depend on how many different kinds of file you have, but the C# standard library has this function so you just use it.
It isn't necessary, that's true. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be beneficial.
Strong disagree on that one. Even though C++ has a lot of features that take a while to learn, getting started with C++ is simpler by miles than getting started with Rust.

One exception to that in my experience: dependencies, although I think that's a bit deceiving as yes, it's easier to get dependencies in Rust but in some areas they're way less mature and can sometimes be a pain to work with (usually when dealing with big C or C++ libraries that have been quickly glued to a Rust interface to be available in Rust).
I started out with Solgar brand. I found digestive enzymes with Ox Bile to be best and the Betaine I look for minimum 350mg Betaine HCL and minimum 50mg of Pepsin as that appears important to managing symptoms. Probiotics I found just make me feel worse.

This is actually probably more fair of a comparison then you'd think. Daily showers are bad for health your health[0], but I absolutely do them because my body produces a lot of oil and odor. This is a cosmetic reason similar to make-up.

> "Folding, sorting, and putting away clothes is a time consuming daily task in a house with young kids, that cant be done by any robot that isn’t humanoid."

I don't understand what about that task needs it to be humanoid?

It obviously needs various abilities that humans have - being able to move around, being able to control multiple "limbs" to manipulate the clothes, etc. But why couldn't it look like R2-D2 rather than C-3PO? Why couldn't it be a flying drone that has 4 clothes-folding arms? Or... whatever non-humanoid design could be conceived that works best?

The only "need" for it being humanoid would be if the kids (or adults, or animals) found it more acceptable to be around.
I doubt it's a conscious choice. I am an adult and I avoid toothpaste with fluoride because no matter what I do, once toothpaste gets to the back of my tongue it simply falls into my throat. I would imagine that for a child without decades of swallowing food it's even harder to control or even notice.
Others in the family still use iDevices. Can't avoid Windows or macOS due to work. Prefer FreeBSD and use that mostly. It's an old mac and will be dumping it after another year or two. Do not plan to buy an Apple computer ever again as soldered RAM / HDD and iShittification of macOS is the future.

Can confirm I found help in Solgar Quercetin. I’m convinced it’s all stress related though and the stress is causing imbalances in the body.
It leads to a lot of misunderstandings. For example, lower life expectancy throughout history is far more attributable to higher infant mortality than to adults dying young. But people think everybody died at 45.
Contractors get to choose when they are available for work. They aren’t guaranteed work. A customer is not obligated to hire them. This is the whole point of a contractor.

Sure, but we'll have to go thousandsies, or at least hundredsies.
>Let's say instead of building houses, I invest the money in job training and crime intervention programs. Maybe employment goes up and crime goes down. Maybe it doesn't. And even if the numbers move in the correct direction, it is extremely difficult to quantify how much I helped versus external variables outside my control. I'd need a team of data scientists just to quantify how much I helped. And at the end of the day, I am still only helping the subset of people for whom those kinds of programs actually can help.

If you have "untold billions" to spend, you can probably spend a few million on data scientists to make sure you're spending your money as effectively as possible. Moreover, impact shouldn't be hard to measure with RCTs (ie. only helping half of the neighborhoods and comparing it to the other half).

>The nice thing about housing and feeding people is that it directly addresses the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. You can be 100% certain that you are helping. And you can be 100% certain you are helping almost everyone. Everyone needs food and shelter. Not everyone needs job training.

Right, but by doing so, you're missing out all the possible higher value interventions, especially ones that aren't applicable to everyone, but would have much greater impact.
Awnings fail to deal with heat gain from the surrounding. So, in hot environments they can be less effective than insulating curtains inside the window which also help at night when it’s still 100+f outside.

This is especially true if you have an overhang, trees, etc providing even modest shade.

I think the primary trend isn't based on the agreement but on the economic reality that solar panels are cheap and still getting cheaper. You can speed it up or slow it down, but it's not reversible at this point. You might have four years of slowboating, but that only matters if we're on the edge of disaster. If we're already committed to disaster, to the extent that we need radical interventions to plausibly achieve success, whether you slowboat the trend doesn't matter.
Weight loss always comes with some muscle loss and bone density loss, because the structure now supports less weight than before, and our bodies dislike to maintain muscle apparatus beyond what is necessary.

Unless Ozempic causes significantly more muscle loss than other ways of losing weight, that news isn't really news.
I wish IBM would spin off their mainframe business like they did for kendryl.

IBM seems to be milking it in order to support their other businesses. I think if spun off, prices could be lowered and mainframes would start growing again.

I think with this AI bubble, if mainframes were not as expensive, they would have see nice growth.
There is a lot of evidence showing a direct correlation between TV use and decline in reading skills among children
https://www.jstor.org/stable/748102

https://typeset.io/questions/how-does-television-affect-read...

I have noticed this among my children as well. We decided very early on that we won't have a TV at home once the children arrived. They have shown far better reading skills than their peers in school who are glued to the screens. Their peers who have mostly avoided TV also show similarly improved reading skills and also a desire for reading.
I'm so glad this is a genuine product that stands by it's own merit rather than trying to sell itself on the basis of being written in Rust. I feel too many products that use some fancy new tech in development make that aspect part of the sales pitch. It is certainly interesting for us here, but the users of the tool will only care about the technical side to the degree that the tool is stable, performant and continues to be developed.

I'm not an illustrator so I can't add much beyond that, but I'm rooting for the devs to turn it into a success!
Low-e coatings are metals (silver, tin, zinc), I believe. But not very much, and not very toxic.

Humans aged 30 to 80 have 350 accidents every 100 million miles [1]. That implies over 280,000 miles between collisions. Intervention every 122,000 miles is the average 17 to 18-year old.

(The data also suggest widespread self-driving cars should prompt adjusting the unsupervised driving age up to 18 to 20.)

I TEND to stick to C99 = usually C99 with very few bits of c11+ (usually the missing bits) and even some extensions (often related to ELF/object format). But I really try hard to minimize their usage.

The pb is in ISO c11+ we got some of the missing stuff for modern hardware architecture, but also tons of tantrums (_generic, typeof, restrict....)
I love the idea of having an AI prompt to write code for the bots. There are already games like https://screeps.com/ or https://store.steampowered.com/app/2060160/The_Farmer_Was_Re... where you program your bot to do things, but they do require some minimal coding experience. Being able to describe behavior in plain english would be pretty cool.

However, I think having real-time feedback is a huge part of games like this. You try a command or two, see what unexpected thing happens, rapidly iterate and try again, one step at a time. Having to submit every prompt revision to you (even for testing) makes it hard to iterate. Any chance you'd want to build a thin web wrapper over it so players can sign up and try it on their own?
Sorry about that - it's a regression I caused last night, see https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/38. It should be fixed since this morning UTC.
I'm not sure how making someone less hungry magically makes them want to eat carrots over chips. Is the reason why they're eating chips because they're so hungry and so pressed for time that they're reaching for the highest calorie food? Or do they eat whatever's the most delicious? If it's the latter, I doubt being less hungry is going to make them choose healthier options over more delicious ones.
If you take a look at the Linkedin resume it seems his last technical job was 12 years ago and in an unrelated area to what he's currently trying to build. All in all his on-hands professional software engineering work seems to be limited to 2-4 years. Most of his experience seems to be product-related type work, including his work at Meta.

Combined with him calling himself a non-technical founder it seems pretty on point. He's not looking to be coding and making all the nitty gritty engineering decisions, there are better people for that in his opinion. Which is totally fine.

Hopefully soon their profits will dip low enough they won't be able to buy (excuse me, "lobby") politicians, and the whole industry will just collapse. Kids can go urban exploring in the behemoth ruins in a couple of decades, it'll be great.
Reminds me of https://github.com/mtarek/compitex which is a very barebones LaTeX math to C compiler. I've done a bit of work to make it better, but it really needs a lot of work, and it needs to compile to languages with polymorphism.

This resonates with me too. However, as LLMs increasingly shift towards more "agentic" capabilities—where they're not just generating code but also executing it and performing actions beyond just text generation—I'm thinking: where do we draw the line?

This is a kind of odd framing. I have children and I don’t see it as zero sum, as in your description. I want my children to do well. I don’t want other children to do worse, necessarily. I don’t care about other people’s children because I don’t know them and I’m not raising them. I want my kids to do well because I have put huge amounts of labor and love into them. The great beauty of most western systems is that they don’t have to be zero sum and they empower individuals and families.

The term "housing crisis" is a misdirection. That term covers up the real problem and gets us to focus on the wrong problem. In the US fewer and people earn a living wage. If people cannot afford housing because they are not paid a living wage, that is not a "housing crisis".

A similar misdirection is "inflation". Measuring how much prices are rising is meaningless. It is like evaluating your bank account by looking only at how much money comes in. That is why we have bank statements that tell us show starting balance, income, expenditures and ending balance. The only thing that matters is the difference between what comes in to your account and what goes out. Try getting a bank loan for a house by telling the bank only how much you earn each month.

If inflation is low, but the difference between wages and cost is too high for people to afford housing, or food, or health care, or an unexpected $500 expense, then there is bad problem despite the low inflation. The measure we need isthe difference between common wages and common expenses. If the difference between wages and living expenses is growing dramatically, then that is problem. There is not a housing crisis, there is a WAGE crisis.

How does one solve this rather obvious problem? One raises the minimum wage from $7.25 to something that allows people to afford housing. We have not done this, nor is there any discussion on doing this. So now one must ask why we, as a country have not done this?

In legal proceedings a common technique is to ask who benefits. Cui Bono? Who benefits from very-low-wages? Certainly not the common people.

Yet we are supposed to be a democracy and our government is supposed to be one that responds to the people. Is this true? Certainly we can note that common people are more and more distrustful of our system of government. Could this be caused by the people asking Cui Bono, and finding that the answer is not "We the People".
I have zero fear of global warming.

BUT if I did, the only real way to reduce energy usage is to reduce the population of earth drastically. People cannot be made to live in squalor willingly.

From the Georgia Guide stones: Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

For those who are keen on math, that means we need to eliminate 7.6 billion people to return to "balance".
