I don't believe we can rely on the idea of wealth and a never ending supply of cheap foreign lump of labor from anywhere in the world (it has not gone well for Europe, for example, and Sweden is paying migrants ~$34k to return to their country of origin). A majority of the US population supports deporting the existing undocumented immigrants in country, and limiting further immigration (do they understand this would stoke domestic service inflation? probably not). The wealth is immaterial if the electorate ties your hands politically. Demographic systems and political populism are running head long into capitalism. This story is a symptom of that.

(I am once again asking to think in systems)
Not arguing for or against this explanation, but it's hard enough (impossible for me) to visualize a curved 3d space, once you try to think of what curved 4d space might be like any intuitive sense of what should happen goes out the window.

Classic diagrams of curved spacetime portray space as a 2d sheet with divots in it. I wonder what a similar visualization of curved 1d time + 1d space would look like. Long valleys for gravitational wells and everything moving along the sheet in the direction of positive time?
Paperwork. I swear, it's paperwork.

My mom is a (retired) preschool teacher. By the end of her career, she was working for a school affiliated with a large chain, and maybe 1/3 of her time was spent on filling out all the paperwork required by management. That was time she absolutely was not spending with the kids.

My dad is a (retired) doctor. Similar story there. His hospital ultimately ended up associated with a regional health care network, and the paperwork load ultimately got so bad that they ended up having to hire additional staff dedicated to help the actual health care providers fill out all the paperwork so that they could spend more time actually providing health care.

I switched primary care providers over this a few years back. I had a great doctor, but her practice got bought up by one organization, which then got bought up by another, and over time working with her office became a huge bureaucratic quagmire. I switched to a different clinic that's still local (although also chain with multiple locations), and everything's easier again.

The same thing happens at my own job, software. The bigger a company I'm at, the more of my job consists of filling out paperwork about the work I'm doing, rather than doing the actual work.

tl;dr: It's communication that doesn't scale.

For YouTube you can pay for premium.

Consuming not only their resources but also their incredible streaming algorithm for free is just a dirty move.

Doing this just puts you into the statistic of bad users that incentives companies like Google to push more intrusive DRM. Which at the end of the day makes us all suffer.

Here's an interesting thing about Wikipedia.

Contributors are largely pseudonymous. They are definitely not anonymous. Even a seemingly-random IPv6 address is a--temporary--pseudonym for an editor. But editors there rely on reputation, and reputation is gained and maintained through a stable pseudonymous account.

However, a small fraction of Wikipedians reveal their true identities right on their user page. Many of them have had real life encounters and represent the WMF in various gatherings and meetings. Others simply don't see a need for a veil of secrecy.

For pseudonymous Wikipedians, there is the spectre of "unsolicited paid editing" or UPE, which is a facet of the "conflict of interest" (COI) controversy. For example, if I worked for example.com, I would be strongly encouraged to disclose that affiliation on my user page, and also strongly discouraged from directly editing articles about example.com itself.

But, Wikipedians are not required to "out" themselves entirely. So how to declare all COIs without outing yourself? There's a definite tension there that simply can't be resolved, so long as editors are accustomed to a veil of pseudonymity.

Everything every editor does on Wikipedia is essentially public record. Every comment you make, every edit to articles, every action taken against your account, it's logged and published to the world. So, it should not be unexpected when pseudonymity is broken and the veil is pierced. PII is supposed to remain private and closely guarded, but everyone should know, everything leaks eventually. And users should always keep that in mind when taking on activities on a public website.
America even has a couple of its own gothic cathedrals: St. John the Divine, in New York, is a particularly awe-inspiring bit of architecture.
That's kind of how it works outside of North America. Students go into medical school right out of high school, and medical school is about 6 years - maybe including residency. They graduate with a degree that allows them to practice general and family medicine. If they want to become specialists, they keep studying and more residency.

North America seems to be alone in requiring a 4 year degree before letting a student anywhere near a medical school.
For SSD speeds, that was already dismistified with iBoff new adapter which makes an M1 Macbook Air upgradable and faster. I wouldn't be surprised if the same was true for RAM using the CAMM standard positioned near the CPU.

Show HN: A Developer Portfolio as a 2D Game
10 months ago, I made a developer portfolio that you can navigate as a top-down 2D walking sim game. You can check it here : https://jslegenddev.github.io/portfolio/

After posting about it on HN, I received comments saying that the portfolio was nice and original but ultimately recruiters don't have time to play a game.

This time, I tried to build one that tries to maintain the idea of it being a walking sim game but tries to give you all the relevant info as fast as possible.

This is the result of my work : https://jslegenddev.github.io/new-2d-portfolio/ (Link is in the title as well)

I made it with JavaScript, the Kaplay game library and React.
Agreed. I was XCode'ing on an 8gb M1 back during the lockdown, it was great.

It's nice to see more RAM and Apple was being very stingy about it, but the real-world is totally overblown.
Perfect. They should also create their own game servers for online games separated from the rest of the world while they are at it.

Rural communities have strong social cohesion out of necessity, not desire. I grew up rural, so I have some experience with this.

Suburbia hits the sweet spot of introverted personality types: you don't NEED to know your neighbors, because there are sufficient services/resources to handle everything yourself, but you also don't get hemmed into an urban chicken coop that forces you to know your neighbors.

The only people who raise alarms about "social atomization" are extroverts, and they're entirely incapable of understanding that some people actually prefer their isolation.
"because individual care work is so inefficient"

The whole point is scaling "care work" is almost oxymoronic. Care is only quality care when there are a small number of carers per those being cared for. To make it "efficient" is to turn children, the addicted, the disabled, and the elderly into cattle.

> "Wages for Housework" by Silvia Federici - Federici argues for the recognition and compensation of domestic labor, linking it to broader struggles against capitalist exploitation.

This reveals one of the poorly hid secrets of progressive ideology. Progressives LOVE Capitalism and want to spread it to encompass every human interaction. Caring for your own home, your own children, anything someone might do for a friend or a loved one MUST be turned into a financial transaction with an explicit contract.
This is not so much a gradual change, as a recurring theme in coinage through history, with the stability and grasp of a regime/kingdom/empire being related to how much seigniorage (profit) it can currently extract from the economy by putting the leader's face on a costly bit of metal. This may be from one of many periods where the old coinage of an obsolete regime reverted to holding negligible value over its metal value.
It sounds like a very promising approach! Do you think there are really trillions of lines of C? At ten delivered and debugged lines of code per programmer-day we'd have on the order of a single trillion lines ever written, but most of that has been discarded, and probably less than half of the remainder is C.

I suspect something like wasm may be a better way to preserve backward-compatibility with C, although of course it won't help with constant time or confused-deputy vulnerabilities. CHERI might help with the latter.
> Really? Why exactly will they free fall? Why can't they just stay exactly where they are?

Absent any forces, they can only stay on a geodesic. It’s like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. There’s only ever one geodesic, one path through spacetime that takes no energy to follow.

This is true even if you ignore general relativity and just focus on classical mechanics, as formulated by Lagrange. In Lagrangian mechanics, you must compute a number called the “action” for every path through space that your system could possibly take. Then your system will take the path that minimizes the action. If your system is a particle in space, then it will stay still if that has the minimum action, or it will follow some path through space if that has the minimum action. It can’t ever do both. Only one of them will minimize the action.
> Frankly, the number of carbs and fiber you need throughout your life is 0

Sincerely, what are you talking about? It's been well-known a diet high in fiber lowers your risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

Also, no carb diets are largely bullshit. There's plenty of complex carbs with many nutrients. The problem is while "no carb" might be somewhat effective, it's not sustainable for the vast majority of people. That, to me, makes it very close to worthless.
Personal assumption, but probably not everyone lives in a country where they can pay Bandcamp.

And from personal experience I can say, sometimes people want or have to consume media offline, because of unreliable or slow network or expensive providers. But this doesn't mean that they won't pay later if they like it.

I had one of those breakthroughs this weekend. I was hitting at the range with my brother, and I felt a specific cue when I hit a really pure ball. I realized that thinking about that cue caused me to do everything I had been told to do for so long. But instead of thinking about one million things(keep your back leg straight, move your front knee over your toe, bring the driver straight back, etc.), I could just think about the feeling I was looking for.

I've had similar breakthroughs doing the Olympic lifts. After long enough, you realize there are small things you should feel that make a successful lift.
The point is that Python object model prevents most optimizations, and thus makes the interpreter to executive code exactly as written. All inefficiencies become more obvious this way, while an optimizing compiler could have detected and eliminated many of them in a different language.
Stigliz’ enthusiasm for “correcting” markets never seemed to extend to reducing his hypothetical information asymmetries, but rather tipped toward intervention. This disposition plays well with bureaucracy with whom he enjoys the most fervent support. Meanwhile, the market sustains an unbounded global search to identify and remediate material information deficiencies. The examples he identifies form a limited caveat to the whole. Those who bring him to the front of the line consistently miss the economic forest for an ephemeral tree, and often do so to curry political favor.
It's not a language. It's a writing system used to write Classical Chinese for 3000 years and Mandarin for 150 years.

This was the one but thanks for the add to my reading list!
The removal of such emotional baggage from a subject greatly nerfs the ability of people to manipulate public perceptions by tugging at heartstrings with phrases like "underclass of migrant labor whose human rights are always in jeopardy".

Do you believe migrant labor in the U.S. are treated with dignity and are treated well? What about illegal immigrants working in slaughterhouses? More generally speaking, do you believe there are classes of people who are treated poorly?

If such people exist then isn’t it valid to describe them accurately and to describe how “the system” treats them?
I’ve definitely been memory limited on a 32GB MacBook Pro. Though it’s probably due to Docker, Slack, multiple IDEs, and dozens and dozens of browser tabs all open at the same time. Consider me part of the exception.
I wonder is the increase in external input from a growing world that is full of distraction competes with storage for these kinds of things.

Only to the point PC market was still growing, and continuous OS updates required paying for new versions of the same stuff.

I was there, leaving piracy aside, buying new versions were only when going from MS-DOS to Windows 3.x, to OS/2, to Window 95, to Atari, to Amiga, and so forth.

That market has plateaued, there are no exponential growth curves any longer, to keep everyone on their job, and the shareholders happy.
Daily reminder of 3 things:

1. There is never a "labor shortage". There is only "insufficient wages";

2. In the US in particular, the agricultural sector would collapse without undocumented migrants;

3. Companies love migrants being undocumented because it suppresses wages for both documented and undocumented workers. We used to have extensive programs for temporary workers (eg the Bracero program [1]).

Automation is going to be a huge issue in the coming years and there are two ways it could go.

The first way is the capitalist way. That is that workers will be laiid off. Unemployment will be used to suppress wages further. Why? So the capitalists can eke out a few extra dollars in profit. This is the dystopian view and the one I consider most likely.

The second way is tha automation makes work easier and take less time. This is essentially the socialist way. This could vastly improve everyone's lives. After all, making it so people don't actually have to work dangerous or just horrible agriculture jobs (or in an Amazon warehouse for that matter). I consider this, given the current political climate, to be highly unlikely.

Our society is rapidly marching towards a future when nobody owns anything (particularly housing). You'll live at the whims of whoever provides worker housing. You'll largely work in service jobs that haven't been automated (yet) at low wages. Things like aged care and maintaining those estates you don't own but are granted housing on.

Welcome to neofeudalism.

Everything is open source so yes you can, it's mostly a question of practicality.

There's already third party clients, account hosting servers, etc, as well as different apps building on the same system (and which can use the same accounts and data store!) like blogs and more. Most devs are trying to coordinate their custom extensions so it doesn't cause conflict.

If it weren't coordinated we'd easily end up in the same place as Mastodon with their spurious server blocks where large parts of conversations are broken for most users.

I've been working on an experimental modern C++20 fork of the popular SFML library, that introduces the following new major features/changes:

- *Modern OpenGL and first-class support for Emscripten*
- *Batching system to render 500k+ objects in one draw call*
- *New audio API supporting multiple simultaneous devices*
- *Enhanced API safety at compile-time*
- *Flexible design approach over strict OOP principles*
- *Built-in SFML::ImGui module*
- *Lightning fast compilation time*
- *Minimal run-time debug mode overhead*

It is temporarily named [*VRSFML*](https://github.com/vittorioromeo/VRSFML) until I figure out a nice name.

You can read about the library and its design principles [*in this article*](https://www.vittorioromeo.com/index/blog/vrsfml.html), and you can read about the batching system [*in this other article*](https://www.vittorioromeo.com/index/blog/vrsfml2.html).

You can find the source code [*here*](https://github.com/vittorioromeo/VRSFML) and try out the interactive demos [*online in your browser here*](https://vittorioromeo.github.io/VRSFML_HTML5_Examples/).

The target audience is mostly developers familiar with SFML that are looking for a library very similar in style but that gives more power and flexibility to the users. Upstream SFML is more suitable for complete beginners.

> But he didn't believe in the non-local nature of quantum theory either, which we have now, since Einstein's death, proven to be true.

We have not proven quantum theory to be non-local. We’ve only proven that it can’t be both local and contain particles, as opposed to particles being emergent from the wavefunction’s interactions.

MWI chooses the latter, and is therefore a local theory.

(Alternately, collapse. But collapse theories are largely nonsensical.)
> He now has Type 1 diabetes, a condition one is normally born with

This is simply untrue. You can be born with it, but it's certainly not the common type of type 1.
There is no pub to walk to, grocery store to walk to, no shared public space for walking and cycling to places, there’s no concept of being in a space shared with others. It’s that you simply don’t see people unless you choose it. If you live in the city you learn quickly to be around others. At least that’s my experience.
I would argue that alphabetisation would increase the use of regional languages because it would be possible to write down your speech, instead of relying on Mandarin or phonetical transcription with Chinese characters.
> This is unusual.

> In America, the "average wait time for a [cardiologist, dermatologist, og/gyn, orthopedic surgery or family medicine] appointment for the 15 large metro markets surveyed in 2022 is 26.0 days" [1].

I want to point out the important missing fact there that the "America average" time tells you nothing about variance across geography, specialty, or patient population, and you really need to at the very least look further down at the charts where they talk about shortest and longest times in the different cities and specialties.

For instance I see Boston's longest 2022 time for family medicine is 136 days, average 40 days. And Massachusetts is one of the top states on your list for PCPs per capita. At least that's better than 2017 where the longest time was "fuck you, get rekt, lmao".
Yes indeed.

Even just 3.5 years ago, seemed like everyone was saying that humanoid robots were a dead end or an unnecessary part of Isaac Asimov's vision of the future or similar.

I think much of the current interest is because Musk watched some scifi, ordered the Optimus project, and loads of others decided it would be a mistake to bet against him.

I put them in the same category as 3D printers: they can do anything, but you can always find a better special-purpose alternative for any specific goal.

Still a lot of people using 3D printing productively despite that; likely also will be for humanoid robots.

Well, if the AI is good enough. Remote control has its uses, but even then you need enough on-board AI to avoid playing QUOP as live action with a robot holding industrial equipment instead of in a safe flash game.

That said, stamina is probably the least important aspect — in an industrial setting you probably have a lot of power lines already installed.
