> larger household would make the median income per person lower not larger.

Depends whether the household is larger due to children, or due to more adults, no?

That is, if a bunch of single adults pair up into households, income divided by household size will go up.
That happens but they are presenting a statistical picture

LLMs outputs are no more "hallucinations" than my output would be if I were asked to judge a dressage competition.
I mean, we can say "electromagnetic wave" instead of a "photon". It doesn't really change much in this case.

I don't quite understand their diagram and their point. Are they looking at a region inside the collapsing shell of material? Then there's no contradiction here, the observer won't see anything until the reach the singularity (where the space-time stops being locally flat).

Even if we consider an observer in the center of the shell, they'll only encounter the singularity after they get hit by the infalling matter.

You're flaunting your ignorance (or naivety) of America for all to see, though.

Most stores, even in internet-stereotype "hellscapes" like San Francisco, don't lock up bottles of fruit juice among other sundries. Anyone who actually lives here would know that, like me.

>As far as tent camps / drug streets go

Only a problem in the real megalopolises like the cities you just named. The vast majority of cities (and there are countless many in this literally vast country) are generally fine (some level of crime and homelessness will always exist as a matter of nature). Again, anyone living here would know that.

Internet memes are fun, but if you're going to passionately argue about something you would be wise to actually do your homework first.
I like 'click and mortar business'. Much better then 'bits and atoms'.

Heh, I bet this is actually what killed my dad - glyphosate is what’s in agent orange. He had alzheimers-like symptoms at the end of his life… from what he told me, the air base at da nang was practically bathed in the stuff. It was just everywhere.
Thieves go for things that are easy to fence. For a while Tide-brand laundry detergent was famously easy to fence in some cities[1], so places had to lock up Tide.

[edit]

Teenagers who shoplift also go for things that are embarrassing or illegal for them to buy (condoms and alcohol respectively). So those are likely to be locked up as well.

1: My understanding is that drug-dealers &c. would accept payment in Tide and then sell that to organized crime, that would wholesale it to mom+pop corner stores.

Software Developers were the most obvious outlier in Asian workers and non-citizen workers. It is surprising how much of an outlier it was, even compared to other similar white collar jobs.

> is Chinese as evidenced by their misspelling of English words

Ad hominem and wrong logic. Evidenced by your correct English spelling so you must be white English people?

> distinct beliefs

Like what? The belief was exactly repeated by Chinese mythology, the Di's of 5 Color, the 10 suns, the birdie thing. All Chinese rulers inherited the "Di" title from Shu. Yellow Emperor had a Shu wife, his son had a Shu wife, I'd argue it's been Shu all along.

Please do more research. Some of the major bronze casting set were replicas found in other parts of Yangtze river

> because they were illiterate

> Confucian parent

funny you mentioned Confucian. Did you know (one of) Confucius's teacher came from Shu? During Zhou dynasty, several early "teacher of the king", including (quite possibly) the incredible Jiang Ziya "Esteemed Father", were from the Shu & Qiang clans, to be specific, Jiang and Qiang are basically the same character on bronze inscriptions, literally meaning the shepherd people, which lives in western China.

> based upon modern Chinese nationalism

Hey bro I thought you were calling Han vs non-Han bullshit? Why change the subject to "Chinese"? Are you suggesting Han == China or something? Mind you, Han is a nationalism invention during the 1910s.

Overall I think "China/Chinese" is a messed up umbrella term, so sorry I am more like Basuria/Shu-ism.

If you want to show off your online racial supremacy you have won, but if you want to discuss about some East Asian history or archaeological findings, I don't like your arrogance and bigotry.
"On the back part of the step, toward the right, I saw a small iridescent sphere of almost unbearable brilliance. At first I thought it was revolving; then I realised that this movement was an illusion created by the dizzying world it bounded. The Aleph's diameter was probably little more than an inch, but all space was there, actual and undiminished. Each thing (a mirror's face, let us say) was infinite things, since I distinctly saw it from every angle of the universe. I saw the teeming sea; I saw daybreak and nightfall; I saw the multitudes of America; I saw a silvery cobweb in the center of a black pyramid; I saw a splintered labyrinth (it was London); I saw, close up, unending eyes watching themselves in me as in a mirror; I saw all the mirrors on earth and none of them reflected me; I saw in a backyard of Soler Street the same tiles that thirty years before I'd seen in the entrance of a house in Fray Bentos; I saw bunches of grapes, snow, tobacco, lodes of metal, steam; I saw convex equatorial deserts and each one of their grains of sand..."
While that does absolutely suck, and I’ sorry you find yourself in that situation, it’s not a consequence of Obamacare. It’s just that the time you remember when things were better happens to be before Obamacare.

As another commenter said, there’s been an exodus of specialists from rural areas. This is a global phenomenon, not limited to the US.
As a fellow Canadian I don't think it's equality that's the issue. It's services rendered for the payment given
That's true of course and an important part why everything is so polarized. Without getting too political I don't believe the current direction is sustainable and that the start of the down spiralling already has happened.
My opinion is that learning is best done with a minimum of technology. The problem with technology is that it not only contains information, but its very infrastructure shapes mental tendencies and habits towards behaviours that are best for technology, not for yourself. For example, technology makes us more likely to spend less contiguous time doing things and more time on bite-sized pieces.

Using AI in particular removes the dependence on seeking help from real people, which intially seems more efficient, but actually removes the key element of human interaction which ultimately is one of the best reasons for learning, because it not only imbues one with the subject matter but also with knowledge of another.

The fast feedback loop as you call it is beyond the point of healthy for humans with regard to learning. It may work and be amusing in the short term but emphasizes knowledge that can be digitized easily and ignores the greater wisdom that comes from slower, more traditional methods.

In short, while learning with AI can appear to have benefits, the net result is a detrimental transformation into a more educated but more mechanical person further away from biological reality.
A week? Nah. I’ve routinely taken two weeks to burn off PTO.

Yes, in a high crime area. It's article-worthy because it's an anomaly. The only thing locked up in stores in my area is drugs.

> As far as tent camps / drug streets go, I can post videos from San Francisco, Philadelphia, LA, Oakwood, etc. but you’ll bring up it’s “only a Pacific problem”, despite Californian (together with New England) cities often being brought up as the examples for well done cities that compare well to “European”-style cities.

See above. You continue to cherry pick examples that no one is denying exist and pretend they are ubiquitous.

Maybe I should go take some videos of homeless in central London or Paris and claim that's representative of the entire EU?

> So much for “wildly inaccurate caricature”.

Thanks for proving my point.
That’s because there are many many more people who want to be actors/writers than there is demand for those jobs.

This is the market telling you to pick a different career.
I don't think white collar vs blue collar comparison is necessarily better. There are heaps of ways to slice and dice data and this one of them. I'd argue that it's a rather interesting perspective.
Contributions? I don't monitor my box at that level.

But rust, java, nodejs, and Chrome are nowhere to be found (IIUC).

I don't even care what Mesa is.

But Microsoft products are not present.

Many (most?) for-profit corps are not my friends. They have the right to exist; I'll leave them at that.
No, not really. I specifically use meat as an example because you can buy a chicken pretty much everywhere in the world. To be clear, there are SOME things everywhere that are exceptional and cheap. Here for example I can hire a cook, two maids, and a driver for next to nothing even paying well above average wages, but having a dishwasher or air conditioning is an unthinkable luxury and even a vacuum is quite rare. Then there are a million little things you can't change at any price; you can't drink water from the tap even in my sparkling luxury apartment on the poshest block of the nicest city, and if I ever needed serious medical care I'd be on the first plane back to the US. There are tradeoffs everywhere but when you factor everything in including the overall quality of life in the city itself, prices are quite similar everywhere around the world...as you'd expect, since that's how markets work.

My point is that the cost of things is more similar than people think, not what you should or should not buy as an individual, and that these adjusted PPP numbers do not make for valid comparisons. 99% of the time when PPP is used in the popular press someone is trying to bend the numbers to distort the real economic situation to try to further whatever narrative they're pushing. You will never see these people making the argument that Alabama is poised to overtake New York economically because on the average salary you can afford a larger apartment in Mobile than in Manhattan. To me these arguments sound equally ridiculous.
And the politicians themselves tend to be property owners. Their donors, even more so.
> A lesson I learned from reading Mark Manson’s “Models” as an awkward stupid teenager who wanted to get girls is that the world is an abundant one full of all kinds of people: some who shun us, others who love us. When someone reveals that there’s no room for a relationship, they do us a huge favor and free us up to go pursue others who are open to it. I’ve seen great success in quickly being thankful for the data and moving on.

Getting strong pickup artist vibes here. I needed that sort of knowledge too. Married nowadays, would've been single forever probably if I wouldn't have gone through that phase.

It makes sense that you break social interactions down like this. This type of thinking flows from pickup.

It also puts into context that you said stuff like "you know you're a slut" (which you don't remember doing but you mentioned having done similar enough things). It seems you mixed pickup with work. I was a high schooler when I learned it and did it solely outside of high school. So I wouldn't run into these things.
wasn’t a mouthful like MoveFromPosition

PosMove, but nothing wrong with MoveFromPosition either.

I also easily get annoyed by mouthful typing, so I usually do the following: write code in short identifiers and then rename them after I finish.

I wish dev envs could store two representations for an identifier, one short and one long, so one could easily switch between these (and also local/personal ones, or name comments at least). But that’s rocket science for text-based sources.
Wow, talk about a deceptive article. It’s so completely shady the writer surely did this on purpose to fool people like you.

Here’s [1] the wage graph from BLS during that time period, same source as the author. See that incredible, record setting spike at precisely the month in question, never seen before or after? Gee, what do you suppose did that?

The US had just poured 2 trillion into wages for free for pandemic recovery.

This is why you shouldn’t fill your head with nonsense from such crappy sources. Liars will lead you into your own echo chamber. Read proper economic journalists until you learn enough not to believe stuff like that article.

> So we don't want to go to Mars or the moon in case we boost SpaceX?

Maybe. The entire world came together to stop the Nazi regime just as they were on the cusp of spaceflight, it wouldn't be unprecedented to reject one man's ideology because it supersedes important politics to play power games that benefit no one. It would be especially ironic if all that government pork Elon promises to cut ends up going to even lower ROI investments, like subsidizing one of Elon's companies for a concept he has no intention of delivering.

America, the country, has quite a few knives in it's back courtesy of Mr. Musk. It wouldn't shock me if popular opinion post-Twitter has turned against Elon. It almost feels like justice.

That sounds like barely enough to retire on.
I don't know why it's named that way but you need some number of cross-country flights and hours because there are skills that you pick up doing that (several kinds of navigation, fuel management, weather management, flight planning, map reading, etc) that you wouldn't by flying in circles or by spending time in the pattern (looped takeoffs and landings, which you do also need to do a fair amount of but builds a separate set of skills)

>I'm not sure gas and eggs is the problem here. When people say cost of living, most of it is just rent or mortgage.

Rent/mortgage is just one part of the cost of living[1].

Even if you have a place to stay and sleep, you still need to clothe, bathe, and transport yourself and eat and drink to live. Cost of living is literally what it costs to live.

It depends on the job. I’ve had jobs where you couldn’t get approval to take a week off and a week off at my current job is no big deal. Generally PTO is more generous as you become harder to replace.
Id definitely plan more than 2gb for a k8s node. The overhead is nontrivial.
You realize what you said contradicts the data that has been posted repeatedly in this topic?

Real wage growth surged post-pandemic, especially for lower-income workers.

Most economists have explained the vibes as: People blame inflation for increased prices but credit their own industriousness for wage gains, and are angry they don't get to basically double dip.
That's all well and good, so where's the link to the studies and the studies' parameters? It's not like I'm denying well presented findings. In absence of those, I can hold skepticism about the claims.

My definition of paycheck to paycheck would be that if you lost your source of income you would not be able to afford living (housing, food, healthcare, insurance, etc.) within a certain window of time. The data can be easily manipulated depending on what you consider essential. I would be surprised if findings by the Federal Reserve include healthcare as a necessity or essential. It's easy to say it's not an essential if a family or individual never had it.
I personally saw a rat cavorting quite vivaciously on a pallet of dogfood in the Bonnie Doon K-Mart (in Edmonton, Alberta) in around 2002. I have no basis for any claims about whether said rat was in a committed sexual relationship so cannot make any assertions about whether it was part of a breeding population in Alberta. Perhaps "spontaneous generation" (see Middle Ages) is a thing! Admittedly, it might have been a hapax -- some bold and singular rat Magellan travelling the Earth on bulk food pallets. I dare not presume.

To staunch any other niggling, I am neither sure of the year nor whether that property was bearing the K-Mart branding at that time. It has also been a Zellers and a Target, if memory serves.

The NEC V20/30 series were significant advances over their Intel equivalent (basically all the 186 features plus more in an 8086/8 compatible package).

C&T had some super-386 chips that apparently barely made it to market (38605DX), and the Cyrix 5x86 (most of a 6x86) is substantially different from the AMD one (which is just a 486 clock-quadrupled)
I have been using the Nvidia driver for many years, had minimal problems and had great responses from Nvidia when I did report issues.

As for opening a bug on GitHub, there is a difference between them responding and them fixing things. I have seen many people report bugs without them fixing the issues. There is one prominent issue for parity between direct3d q2 and vulkan that was needed by emulators that they outright refused to fix:

https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/issues/108

With Intel, the last time I opened a bug with them, they fixed the issue I reported within 24 hours.
Ask HN: Did Google/Alphabet ever try to build a Starlink?
Seems like something like Starlink would have come out of Google/Alphabet, at least at first blush.
They did have Project Loon (internet access via big balloons) and talked about space tethers/elevators.

Seems like a natural idea for (early) Google. Any insights into why nothing like it happened?
I believe slaves are usually not compensated for their work and cannot leave their jobs.
The tax would be done by the registrar or ICANN or whatever (although throwing more money at them might increase corruption of their bureaucracy, oh well). You could burn the money for all I care.

If you get caught, the domain is blacklisted. Ownership transfer is public, so there is little incentive for buyers to go with this route.
On Optimus laptops, I usually disable the Intel GPU rather than deal with GPU switching. Those poor souls that have laptops without a proper multiplexer cannot do that, but I doubt it is a huge problem. With vulkan, you can specify the GPU to use via an environment variable.
