That is incorrect. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42130656
Because innovation tends to come from younger people who have bright ideas, or want to make a name for themselves, or simply because they have free time.

You also need other people to work with, so even if you have an idea, it’s much easier when there are a lot of people in the area with the right skill set.

With a significant declining trend in population, especially in younger people, there just wouldn’t be as many opportunities.

Japanese software is not the only place where we are seeing a decline in innovation. This is the country that that provided us a lot of modern electronics as well.

35% of people are now over 65 in Japan. A much larger percentage of the economy now has to be dedicated to taking care of the elderly. The percentage of elderly in 1950 was tiny.

I'd like to see a source for that estimate, because "10% had some sort of physical medical reaction" is quite vague and seems improbably high.

Wikipedia states the episode was viewed by 4.6 million households, of whom 685 (0.001%) were taken to hospital. While 12,000 children reported mild symptoms (0.2%), studies suggest many of these were psychosomatic and triggered more by parents freaking out over exposure (this was huge news in Japan) than the exposure itself.

I thought it was accepted that mass hysteria after reports of the first children were sent to the hospital was most likely to blame for the overwhelming majority of reports of negative reactions.

Never mind the fact, that the sheer size of these organizations means they are full of average tech talent.

> If you are "throwing darts at a board", you get exponential scaling (the probability of not hitting bullseye reduces exponentially with the number of throws).

Honest question - is that so, and why? I thought you have to calculate the probability of each throw individually as nothing fundamentally connects the throws together, only that long term there will be a normal distribution of randomness.
> I never dove into the subject enough to figure out if this plane representation was also internal to the compiled bsp format, but I suspect it is.

Not exactly. The BSP format stores planes as a normal (3 floats) + distance to the origin + an int that flags axis aligned planes. Which is the representation the engine uses.

I believe “3 points on the plane” was chosen for the map file so the coordinates could be exact integers in the text file, to avoid precision loss from storing the normal+distance representation. The latter representation uses less space and is easier to work with.

No denial, just questions, of which were answered between the time I wrote that, and the time you decided to comment long after the dust settled.

In that time, the DOJ announced that they are withdrawing the legal case against him and his participation in leading an insurrection against the government on January 6th.

That's assuming no corruption involved, which would be weird, given the previously-mentioned circumstances. Who stands to lose if the building is sold at a loss or the lease isn't renewed? Are they connected to the executives pushing the RTO decision in any way? It need not even be a direct connection. Who's got CRE MBS in their portfolios? Whose friend does?
By this logic, should companies never donate to open source because any contribution could be labeled as marketing? The $750K will have real, tangible benefits for open source projects regardless of Sentry's motivations. It's a net positive. And we all know how many profitable companies built on open source give nothing back at all.

The point about "open source in name only" due to hosting complexity overlooks that this is a natural consequence of the product's evolution, not malicious intent. Enterprise-grade scaling of such monitoring requires sophisticated infrastructure. Suggesting they should artificially keep it simple for self-hosters would hold back product development.
The way to get employees to not shirk their duties is to incentivize them with what they want: $$$, increased leisure/family time, opportunities for career advancement. Either the hiring process or the company culture are at fault if someone can't be trusted to deliver without a middle manager staring at them.

If an employee isn't performing what's asked of them to a satisfactory standard, discipline and/or fire them. If they're non-physical laborers getting things done on time who'd rather not work in an office, there is no reason to force them to work in an office.
It's simpler - how will you have an affair if the secretary is not in the office?

Working remotely makes quality of life for upper management worse. They have to schedule meetings instead of randomly drop by. They lose socialisation. You have to remember that their career is their life and their achievement. Starting at the screen is not what they signed up for. If they get a better life but company loses 5% productivity, they will take that deal
Maybe totally unrelated, but I had a PT say people that run or walk on the side of a road experience these kinds of asymmetries.

The side of many roads is graded slightly to drain, and if you have a habit of always walking on, say, the right in N. America to go with traffic, you're consistently training asymmetrically without realizing it.
I wouldn't even say they defer them, because the taxable event has not occurred. It allows people too let leave their money at risk longer, including the gains.

If BuyBacks make stock price go up, stockholders haven't made any money yet. They can be wiped out at any time and lose everything.

BuyBacks simply give the shareholders the choice of if and when to cash out any gains and losses they may have.
My theory is people who don't have EVs have range anxiety.

Sometimes it seems like people forget just how far 100+ miles is.

Okay, sure, an EV with 230 miles of ideal range is really more like 150-180 miles given that you're not charging up past 80% regularly and given not-always-ideal conditions.

But that's a lot of miles. That could be 3 straight hours of highway driving.

I know for me, personally, with my gasoline car I can count on one hand the number of times I've driven more than 3 hours in one day in the past year.
lots of failed "this shouldn't be controversial" props passed in California. Just shows how unreliable it is to rely on uninformed people to make policy changes.

I’ll add that I used to love Yahoo Directory. I couldn’t imagine it doing anything but grow. Sadly, it wasn’t to be.
Sadly, this looks pretty toothless. The fine for noncompliance is $2k.

Given the average price for an NYC apartment at north of $3k, the cost to a landlord of complying with the law even once looks significantly higher than the cost of the paying the fine.

Contextually, it was always about being at work.

The entire conversation I have focused on work accommodations. I suppose I thought it was clear.

The bar for getting an accommodation at work has been higher than many other places (like bringing an emotional support animal to a store).

I can't speak to schools, that is also another very delicate social dynamic that has different incentives on how to handle these things than a place of business does.

This is a great comment. It was really the same kind of landscape in US media, only without the topless women.

NYT, WaPo, Newsweek et al. could be counted on as being liberal, while Wall Street Journal and the New York Post were popular conservative options. You also had a wide range of commentary on the telly, including Firing Line and the McLaughlin Group.
If you're bootstraped, does that mean you already have something? What is it and why do you want to replace it? Beware of large greenfield remake projects, these often fail spectacularly.

> The probability of not hitting bullseye at least once ...

I added a clarification.
I actually agree with this. There's a ton that's between the lines in professional recipes and often much that you can't really put on paper you just have to learn at the foot of the master or try enough times you rediscover the same insights.

My critique should be amended to emphasize that it's about naively constructing a model that picks and chooses elements to include based on availability, convenience, etc rather than one built by studying actual chefs and cooks and learning how they think about recipes.

I can say for myself at least that for many classes of dish I barely pay any attention to the specific details in the recipe. I've made thousands of braises, I just need to know the key elements and the rest just sort of fills in (perhaps there's a comparison to musical proficiency here). I'm less concerned with "brown the meat for X minutes on each side" than "brown to mahogany". I don't find it useful when a recipe says how long to reduce a sauce, but when it says what kind of reduction in volume I should be looking for, that can be helpful. In practice I just have an image of the final product and can taste to tell if I've cooked out the acidity and water sufficiently for how I want the dish to taste.

To put a finer point on it, knowing which elements of a recipe are standard procedure and which are distinct and important to the character of the dish is an acquired skill and not something any system that describes recipes as strict assembly instructions can quantify or even qualify.
The history of disability rights, or any rights for that matter, has been more of raising the cost of ignoring them rather than just being "nice". If they were "nice", nothing would have ever changed.

The same reason one would use any other stablecoin like USDC, you want to send dollars to someone.

The added benefit is that you don’t need to be worried about sending ETH as well to use USD II. Put another way, if I gift you a Ledger with USDC today, you as a possible crypto newbie need to work out how to get ETH to move that USDC.
Most people here don't realize that there are two different markets:

1) Free market apartments: with tenants not having to pay broker fees up front, LLs can and will come up with workarounds. E.g. 'move-in-fee' of 5k or a 'move-out' fee. They will be able to charge more, especially on renewal leases.

2) Rent regulated apartments: LLs can't play those games, but they can say 'only available if you hire such and such a broker', or they might only list the apartments on a website that operates on a subscription basis where they get a cut somehow. Or, at the margins, this is a significant cost for money-losing units, so they might just add those units to the list of units permanently off the market.

I do expect brokerage fees to decline somewhat, and this may affect pricing for streeteasy and zillow and the other advertising portals, but this is not going to be a huge change, and is going to hurt a bunch of low-income tenants.
And who would be the authority deciding on the definition of those two terms, if not judges?

PyTorch is just much more flexible. Implementing a custom loss function, for example, is straightforward in PyTorch and a hassle in Keras (or was last time I used it, which was several years ago).

When you run 0ad, the main menu screen has a prominent dialog on the lower right, that has two buttons; "Terms" which brings up a terms and conditions dialog with info, which you can accept or decline. The dialog also has buttons to load the terms online, or load the feedback stats online. If you accept then the other button on the main page "Enable feedback" is automatically clicked. Later you can click "Disable feedback" to disable it at any time, and subsequently click "Enable feedback" again.

A lot of mishmash theory but not much evidence supporting it.

Just taking the paragraph on Australia as an example. It just says less than half the money goes to academics. What is this in comparison to? What are the rates in other countries or industries? Is it even relevant to the idea of elite overproduction?

Over a quarter of Australian University students are international students. Are the remaining domestic students all elites and are there numbers overproduced?

What is even the benchmark for elite production
Rather than call the Amazon execs liars and sadists perhaps consider that the senior execs (Andy and his directs) believe that they are responsible for crafting a successful company. It is far more plausible that they believe that while it may have worked to have remote workers, that they WANT a company that has the features of an in-office culture and feel it is within their right to take that path.

Unless you think that you would be a lying sadist if you rose the ranks to senior leadership, why do you think that the Amazon leaders are somehow different?

I used to work for Apple so can add some colour.

App Store was/is built on top of the iTunes Store infrastructure which was launched only 10 years after the EU single market was created. And it was designed to support music purchases where licensing by country is the standard.

And these purchases are tied to your credit card which even to this day is pinned to a particular country. This is how Apple largely implements geo-blocking.
It's a great question.

For one of my product we spray and prayed, iterated fast and have not necessarily got/found PMF yet.

For my products we are 'pre-selling' (which feels much much better):

We've been reaching potential customers on LinkedIn, asking them for 15 mins to give feedback on our 'product' (at this point is just a sales deck).

At the end of the 'pitch' we get feedback from the customer. We also explain that we're launching a pilot, and give them an opportunity to join the pilot.

The pilot is paid (but cheaper than the public pricing will be), and it involves signing a v.simple 1 page contract/agreement which allows us to invoice them ahead of the 'launch'.

For us, this has been incredibly effective at:

- Understanding if this product hits a pain-point that customers are actually willing to spend budget on

- Weeding out the 'weak' signals like 'I quite like it' (people who 'like' it but may never buy)

- Giving us financial/commercial confidence, since we have invoiceable revenue guaranteed

And what it feels like? It feels awesome!
Sometimes, when you find somebody that really gets it, their body language and attitude is entirely different....they literally PULL the product from your hands (vs. you pushing it on them). They're asking questions like "when can we launch/try it", and "can I introduce you to X Y Z people, who are going to love this?". And they say things like "We're budget constrained, but there are tons of things I'd rather get rid of, to make budget for this"

Happy to help if you have any more Qs
Show HN: Onecv.ai – customize your resume for each job application
My wife has been struggling to find a job so she’s been on the journey of applying for a while now. It is a soul wrecking journey. One of the biggest pain points is that while most of us have one resume, we always feel that we could stand a better chance if we customize even just a bit the resume for each application…. however this just adds more friction to an already painful process and just doesn’t scale.

I helped her build onecv.ai - a one page app where you enter your resume as is and the job description you want to apply for and after a couple of minutes you get back a new version of your resume tailored for the job application.
It’s a good tool. If anyone is looking for a job and could use it or if you are willing to just try it out and share your feedback please use this invite code : 5051 and let me know what you think. I’ll try to keep it running with this invite for a while, but if costs go too high, I might have to stop the free access. It’s not magical but I think it helps. Looking forward to your candid feedback. Thank you
You can just gift ETH. And good news, as a stablecoin backed by dollars USD II is pegged to the dollar so no “pumping” or “dumping”.
I agree with you. I suppose you could simulate having a large population by maintaining a set of snapshots, but it still seems like not the same thing as a classic evolutionary technique. There is no sane way to do things like crossover I guess, unless you can average the weights from multiple snapshots (a strategy that might not work at all IMO).

I think I have seen research papers addressing the crossover of neural network optimization and EA, but I think direct optimization techniques have been preferred for managing the actual weights. Manipulating the input data is more along the lines of perturbation methods. If you look hard enough you can probably see whatever you want but it's a stretch.

To me, neural network training is a distinct task that draws from many areas of optimization and does not fit neatly under any one umbrella.
Tenants will have more cash each month. Tenants bid up rents to the point of affordability, and they'll become more affordable. Furthermore, there will be more would-be tenants b/c you don't need to save up a for a broker fee -- as long as your income is high enough, you can get a unit, at least in theory. So more competition....
At least it provides some entertainment in seeing conspiracy theories I'd never heard of. Just now Twitter showed me a tweet about how offshore wind energy projects will lead to the rapid extinction of Right whales.

Apparently this is going to be the Trump administration's justification for trying to kill offshore wind power.

Of course as is par for the course the people who actually study and work with Right whales say that theory is wrong and there is little evidence of serious harm to the whales from such projects.
