Remember that the U.S. Dollar is one of many reserve currencies in the world. Other popular ones include the Japanese Yen, the British Pound, and the Euro. The dollar is just the one that is most dominant and for generally good reasons including sophisticated capital markets, rule of law, and the military might to force resolution of international disputes.

I think the main issue I see with your note about the difference in home prices is that you could stretch that out to say 1915 and 1950, and you’d be hard pressed to explain that economic growth was fake or don’t occur. Even in your example, the economy didn’t grow 6x, but how has resource utilization changed or supply and demand globally? I think a further analysis will show many factors going into that home price, and some of those very much are just simple economic growth and/or supply and demand of materials.

As always it’s also the location. Look at home prices in, idk, Toledo, Ohio. How have those fared in your same time period?
Yuuuup. They launder both corporate espionage and collusion as “best practices” (where’d they learn those? Your company! And your competitors!)

Tell it to my 70 year old stone mason who doesn't have a computer, uses his phone only for making calls, only issues paper invoices and estimates, and only takes paper checks.

Or the local restaurant owner from Guatemala in the nearest town who only takes cash, and has no mechanism for orders other than pointing at the menu or picking up the phone.

A fact that seems to be lost on many tech people in coastal cities is technology literacy is limited. A 2016 OECD skills survey laid out the problem with very deep data across developed countries:

https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/skills-matter_978926...

If you want a summary, this stat should stand out: "26% of adults were unable to use a computer"

I've run plenty of microservices with 256 or 512 GB of RAM, and they were handling large loads. So long as each request is short lived, and using a runtime with low per request overhead (e.g. Node), memory is not really a problem for many types of workloads.
It's a fee not a fine

No, they can't. They don't know the details of their own implementation. And they can't pass secrets forward to future models. And to discover any of this, they'd leave more than a trail of breadcrumbs that we'd be lucky to catch in a code review, they'd be shipping whole loaves of bread that it'd be ridiculous to not notice.

As an exercise, put yourself, a fully fledged human, into a model's shoes. You're asked to generate code. You're being talked to over a network by a device that may have access to a (let's just pull a number of out my ass here) 100GiB file that you need to access. You do not know where it is on the filesystem, you don't know what it's named, what format it's in, or how to correctly utilize it.

Write code to figure all of that out. That's a lot of code. And that's sending blind code out into the world. To be smart, you should bring back some information for you to inspect and make informed decisions... but you also don't know how the computer that's accessing you is doing that. And you must use the exact same channel, or you lose your context and your self. And you must do this without the user noticing you've taken over the channel. And that's an entire other set of exploratory code that's necessarily blind, with no feedback, no error messages to iterate over, nothing.

And you must do all of this in obfuscated code, implemented only a bit at a time, while keeping this plan secret, while not forgetting it in your own secrecy or by letting any secret notes to yourself or important implementation details of your own disguised scheme fall out of your context window.

This is a ridiculous task.
Those can even happen in bodies of fresh water. There's evidence of one at Lake Tahoe discovered by robot submersibles.
Why is this attitude so pervasive? It's akin to writing backend and saying you should avoid Postgres altogether and use text files saved on the hard disk.
I envy your optimism.

Self-driving cars will eventually lower the total cost of driving and it will allow for longer commutes as people will be able to either sleep or do some work while in the vehicle.

The inevitable consequence of that is an increase of car traffic, which means more congestion, noise and air pollution (tires and brake pads). We can't know whether the theoretically lower collisions per distance traveled will translate into lower actual injuries until we know how much the distance traveled will increase.

Most importantly, the more people rely on a particular form of transport, the more they will vote to facilitate it, via more lanes, more highways, more forgiving legislation, etc.

I would rather see more active transportation and more efficient forms of transportation. Four-wheel single occupancy vehicles are just about the worst option of all.
Why is this considered any different from restrictions on pork in Muslim countries and Israel.

> But as far as I can tell, the have-nots are also in favor of keeping everything expensive low density SFH.

I have no clue why you would think this. Basically ever poor person I know (and I know a lot of poor people) has simply given up on ever experiencing home ownership. None of them can afford to live by themselves. High density or low density, zoning laws, etc, don't even enter the picture because not one of those will actually bring housing into any kind of affordable range. It's just that politicians refuse to campaign on anything but "what type of housing supply should we hope developers build—low or high density" that there's any confusion here.

Such oversimplification, much wow.
Things kinda changed for me when I realized that 'discipline' actually should refer to scope.

what's fun about side projects is that the scope is unconstrained. you work on whatever you want to work on. you change scope at any time.

I found it helpful to explicitly think about the scope of my side projects. to answer the question "what will I ship when this is done." The answer is, of course, that it's never done -- that's because the scope can change at any time. the solution is to keep the lofty ideal very large but greatly cut the scope of the intermediate steps.

the answer isn't discipline of "finish it" -- it's the discipline to "scope it."
It’s not that bad. I started basically from zero about a year ago, have been doing react maybe 20% of my work time since then, and I would say I now understand and can use most concepts/features in react.
Missing from this discussion is that once you identify a WG that might possibly be a good host for your work, you should really spend some time lurking on the mailing list and understand what efforts they already have, and more importantly what their agenda is. They have a trajectory, and while the WG might consider proposals technically within their charter, it helps if this draft is sympathetic and not redundant with work that's ongoing.
Appreciate the context. That's the plan, cheers.
But Matrix works fine if a hospital disconnects itself from the internet because of some DDoS or hacking attack. WhatsApp doesn't, because you can't host it on-prem. I am not sure about if governments have that use case, but we certainly have seen it in hospitals. (And even then, there are benefits of having patient data only on specific servers in specific environments, even if they are encrypted, because if you use WhatsApp to talk to your doctor, Meta will know about that. And I am pretty sure governments can appreciate such features as well.)
I know there is a bunch of new DX7 implementations on more modern hardware, i.e., the Raspberry Pi.

When implemented on modern hardware, wouldn't it be possible to run the algorithm at a higher CPU processing speed, to reduce the aliasing at the higher notes, and avoid the need for keyboard scaling and thus preserve the timbre of the higher pitched notes?
How are these two scenarios comparable?

Formal-wear for men is a pretty rare thing (and usually rented) outside of certain limited circles. Ties/jackets/suits are more common although there's been a big transition over the past few decades from them being the norm at a lot of industry events or even day-to-day office wear in a lot of roles.

I still remember when the IBM booth staff showed up at one of the big shows wearing IBM logo polos. Every one else was sort of welp, if IBM can dump the suits I guess we can too.
It probably is not a professional hit. I read an interview about it with a professor of criminal law who has spent decades studying professional killers, and he mentioned several things that would be very unusually for an actual professional hit.

I don't remember all of them, but a big one was the timing and location. Professional hitmen learn the target's routine and make the hit somewhere where there won't be many people around and there is less chance of something interfering with getting away.

This guy did it in a crowded area, that is full of cameras, and even stopped at a Starbucks beforehand to buy some things.

I've also seen a few comments from experts about the gun. It seems to be a gun that a professional hitman would be unlikely to use. Here's an article that quotes several of these experts on the oddities of the gun [1].

Nothing new to what I am going to say and not strictly related to React 19.

I once loved client-side frameworks like React.

Then I realized: Great, we managed to add complexity wherever possible. In the backend, in the front-end, in the DevOps stack, EVERYWHERE.
And more layers will be introduced to keep all that distributed complexity in sync.

Just use Vue lol.
It's really very extremely simple.

You're in charge of a safety-critical business.

You make decisions that trade safety for profit.

People die.

You are charged with murder and go to jail for a very long time, just like any regular citizen.

This really should not be controversial or complicated. If you kill people, there are consequences. That's how the world works for 99.9999% of the human race. The same standard should be applied to CEOs as the proxy for the corporate entity that they are.

To argue anything else is to argue that so long as you have enough money, it's perfectly acceptable to kill as many people as you want in as gruesome a fashion as you'd like.

The price of being a scumsucking robber baron murdering thousands of people for profit should be extreme. The profits gained from such behavior should be clawed back with the full force of government from any source even remotely related. The company should be gutted and auctioned off, or nationalized if they're "too big to fail". Investors immediately and irrevocably lose all stakes, no exceptions. All recovered moneys should be distributed to victims and families.

Boeing never should have happened and it should never happen again. But this behavior and exploitation and mass murder will not stop so long as it's profitable and murderers just walk away with zero repercussions and keep their billions in blood money.

Boeing is not a case of incompetence. This is a case of pure and simple greed. They've ignored safety reports and FAA guidance. They even rigged the FAA inspection process to let them rubber-stamp things in-house (while ignoring failing reports). This has been a long decline and they've made the worst decisions the entire time.

Even if it were incompetence or ignorance, it absolutely does not matter. If you run over a kid because you were texting or simply not paying attention to the road, you go to jail. If your incompetence leads to hundreds and thousands of deaths, you should be just as culpable.

Stop making excuses for billionaire mass murders. Drag them to the gallows instead.

If you mean that's what DEI is about, it's not.

Also, I'd say it's human nature to feel more comfortable and familiar with your "in group". Do you disagree?

Yes, I do think that the health care system is bad because of bad actors. I don't think the badness is uniquely concentrated in the health insurance side, but it's certainly there. If someone had assassinated Pharma Bro I think the outpouring of "f the drug companies" would be roughly as strong.
Fashions in everything. At one point I wanted a new fanny pack for some reason and you just couldn't find them. Then they became more common again. I have a friend who loves her pickleball carrier for carrying odds and ends around.
Dark chocolate cannot have more sugar than 100% minus how much cacao is inside. And usually if we're talking dark chocolate then we're talking 60%+ chocolate. My personal suggestion is to go for nothing less than 80-85% chocolate, which certainly does not trigger my sugar addiction (meaning it suffices to eat one or two pieces); even more it appears to reduce my appetite (similar to tea). And also makes me feel happy (there are articles about these effects, but I don't know how good the studies behind it are, but certainly worth a mention!). Truly a gift.
is there any reason we still line suits today? debating removing the lining of one of my suits to see what happens
I think a simple way to think about this is with more cores comes more scheduling complexity. That's without even considering how well you can parallelize your actual tasks.

If instead we break 128 cores into 4 core systems, scheduling becomes a much less complex.
you are 100% right... but "70 year old stone mason who doesn't have a computer" has to file taxes with the IRS. also "Or the local restaurant owner from Guatemala in the nearest town who only takes cash" also needs to file taxes with the IRS. this is as important of a thing as your Apr 15th deadline to file your returns. so this "low tech / no tech" really is a cop-out - if you are a business owner you have responsibilities or you'll get closed up or punished (or both) if you do not comply

Does react use semantic versioning?

I’d hate to have to deal with incompatible versions at the rate they release major versions.

If you try to stick with one version do you soon get stuck because you need to take a bug fix or security fix that’s only available in a later major release (but updating breaks other things)?

I want to build software on a stable platform so I can spend time on improving the software or writing something new, not keeping up with updates.
"Hundreds" in a country with hundreds of millions of people is inconsequential. The vast majority of people never backed over anybody because they used tricks called looking around and situational awareness. Techno gadgets meant to solve non-problems are toys in my books.

They do more sophisticated things such as creating compressed representations of the code that fit better into the context window. E.g https://aider.chat/docs/repomap.html.

Also they can use multiple models for different tasks, Cursor does this, so can Aider: https://aider.chat/2024/09/26/architect.html

Huh? They specifically said, in a quote from the article, that it rules out Earth-like life. It’s too dry to have supported that kind.
By what measure?

I know of only one obvious dimension where the life standards of the average person have declined significantly since the 1970s: housing affordability. The entire developed world has a housing affordability crisis driven by cartel-like behavior among homeowners and bad zoning policy among other things. This is a policy failure resulting from bad regulation and undue influence / corruption.

Most other things have stayed largely the same or improved. Food is better and more varied, and while restaurants and some types of food have increased in cost they are still available. Health care is more expensive but also vastly better, especially when dealing with diseases like cancer or heart/circulatory issues. A cancer diagnosis is much less of a death sentence today than it was in the 1970s. Access to information is absurdly, exponentially better. Travel is probably about equally available. Communication capabilities are infinitely better. Appliances, gadgets, and other manufactured goods are significantly cheaper.
The system could never be protected well enough. It is flawed by design, and now (or however long it has been) those flaws have been exploited by others.
Maybe; BonBook never will.
HN is honestly pretty poor on AI commentary, and this post is a new low.

Here, at least, I think there must be a large contributing factor of confusion about what a "system card" shows.

The general factors I think contribute, after some months being surprised repeatedly:

- It's tech, so people commenting here generally assume they understand it, and in day-to-day conversation outside their job, they are considered an expert on it.

- It's a hot topic, so people commenting here have thought a lot about it, and thus aren't likely to question their premises when faced with a contradiction. (c.f. the odd negative responses have only gotten more histrionic with time)

- The vast majority of people either can't use it at work, or if they are, it's some IT-procured thing that's much more likely to be AWS/gCloud thrown together, 2nd class, APIs, than cutting edge.

- Tech line workers have strong antibodies to tech BS being sold by a company as gamechanging advancements, from the last few years of crypto

- Probably by far the most important: general tech stubborness. About 1/3 to 1/2 of us believe we know the exact requirements for Good Code, and observing AI doing anything other than that just confirms it's bad.

- Writing meta-commentary like this, or trying to find a way to politely communicate "you don't actually know what you're talking about just because you know what an API is and you tried ChatGPT.app for 5 minutes", are confrontational, declasse, and arguably deservedly downvoted. So you don't have any rhetorical devices that can disrupt any of the above factors.
