It's.... A nuanced and good point.

What you are suggesting is that there is a locality dimension here which is interesting and probably points to an important consideration.

Even the follow up insight about agency and that the problem is we feel less able to solve these things is good.

But I think that an over-emphasis on local events makes one less able to understand and deal with the things in their own lives as well. It leads to a sort of purposeful ignorance where we don't want to learn what is going on in the world so we are surprised when the consequences become relevant to us.

If you don't know whats going on in Ukraine, you're going to be confused when your local Ukrainian friend is upset because a family member got killed
By all accounts, Pat Gelsinger is
affable, technically sharp, hard-
working, and decent.

In this interview, Gelsinger is asked to describe the difference of a CPU and a GPU:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d07wy5AK72E

His answer is that the CPU is capable of doing general computing, while a GPU is made for very specific tasks.

Is that in line with being technically sharp? To me, this answer seems to miss the mark.

My opinion is that it's good not to have a vision for your career yet. The world is rapidly changing and this is an online learning problem. Keeping trying things and seeing what you like. Continue learning things.

On the practical side consider joining a random engineering project team that interests you (IGem for example). Get practice building things with people in a welcoming environment.

You really don't need social media for that. The Rwandan genocide was triggered by one shitty radio station. People will always find a way to easily distribute propaganda.

It's Gruber. His content is valueless. It's always either Apple good, everything else bad or Apple missing something here but understandable, everything else bad. Several times, Apple has later copied a competitor on something Gruber panned, but he doesn't have the self awareness to realize that his previous assessment was incorrect if everybody goes against it.
Elon Musk vs. Jeff Bezos: Space travel tycoons with dueling visions
Me, I already have a laptop. I'm used to working on a laptop. I'm used to having 2 screens in the desktop setup (one being the laptop's). I actively use that fact.

Using only one device would mean a downgrade in my work setup - one screen less. Moreover, if I'm traveling and have to work somewhere on the fly, a laptop offers a decent keyboard and tolerable screen size by itself. And there is a variety of options on offer (larger screens, lighter laptop, more computing power), so I can pick the optimal one for me.

As such, I don't see a smartphone replacing my daily driver, nor my "planned to work while travelling" driver. Best-case scenario it'd a below-average compromise. But the laptop market offers enough choice that I can get a better compromise for less there.
They all turn into the same data types in the end. You can import a YAML and output a JSON.

For a feature like references, you'd have to do the annoying thing and duplicate that section of the file.

For a feature like unquoted strings or extra commas, you just quote the strings or remove the commas.

The various YAML features are in between and mostly close to the latter.
> productivity growth has dramatically outpaced peer nations over the last 40 years.

and yet, are the citizens getting their fair share of said productivity growth? Or has it been obsorbed by the CCP, in which the wealth is then allocated to something that said citizen would not have chosen to allocate to?
My bet is on a BGP glitch at the moment.
I came here to say exactly that myself.
I worked on the Y2K problem myself. Officially students of my school where not allowed to do so but I got an exception to do so. I worked at AXA (a large insurer) and it was an trainee-ship. I worked on the the EURO and Y2K problem. For this insurer it was massive. They had somewhere near 250 systems that where inter connected and each had issues. They had 22 systems just to handle intermediates because of mergers. I remember helping a tester to time travel a database on OS360. I wrote a script in REXX to he could time travel how he would like to. He started the script during the day without using nice. The mainframe was so busy that nobody could work on the terminals. We got calls from every office in the Netherlands. Fun times.

Ideologically speaking, it's the same sort of people that opposed seat belt laws in the 1980s on the grounds that they'd encourage risky behavior by drivers. (They don't.)
Emoji were nowhere to be found in the desktop web internet of the 90's and early 00's. Instead, websites and bulletin boards used custom emoticons.
> make ersatz enums?

The author is describing 'iota'. You can easily combine this technique with a custom type wrapper which provides the "full enum" if that's actually what you need. In which case this provides a level of capability and convenience above that of C.

In practice, it really is quite remarkable, when you first use it to it's fullest extent.

It's an interesting exercise to think about why the performance of Sum[i, {i, 1, 100000}] differs between Mathics and MMA. Mathics just calls down to sympy, which I think just does the sum in Python [1]. Mthematica (likely) identifies your sum as the 100000th triangular number, and computes it directly in native code, since I know Mathematica relies heavily on standard tables of summations/integrals/etc. [2]

Walk that thought through to the end. Because it's become a popular sentiment even on this platform which is interesting. If what you're saying is true, the internet itself is toxic to mental health, and the only sane thing to do is to keep away from it at all costs, as you suggest.

However, we are on a hacker news, an overwhelmingly technical message board. Are we all just modern poison pushers then? Is the very nature of what we do somehow toxic to the flourishing of human life?

I don't think so. I want to see a more critical analysis of what in particular is driving mental health outcomes down. Don't mistake this for me saying there is nothing to do. I was in support of the ban on social media in schools for example. But as modern people who use technology regularly to live our lives, surely atleast we understand it is more nuanced than just "use the computer less"
Easily? To replicate that you'd need to at minimum hijack a radio station. Compare/contrast with the relative difficulty of fishing your phone out of your pocket. There is also the minor issue of instant global reach, so yeah, hijacking radio stations on several continents should keep one busy a while I'd imagine.
Of course, different things impact different people in different ways. People in Brazil are less impacted by Ukraine than people in Germany are, generally speaking.

Still, other things being important doesn't make the Disney-Florida conflict less important. You denying or not seeing its importance doesn't make it less important.
At the time, police and courts gave themselves permission to manufacture and sell crack cocaine informally, despite this being very clearly illegal.

Currently, police and the courts with formal legislative backing give themselves permission to rob people, despite this being very clearly unconstitutional.
This technique won’t stop those people, but then idk what will. I’m mostly talking about the kinds of things I get frustrated at seeing my liberal friends post.

Usually if I see one of them post something that’s total BS and I point out that it’s BS, they’ll apologize and take it down. But I don’t have the energy to constantly be “that guy” all the time. I think if more of my friends did this (since their reactions show that they are in fact interested in sharing things in good faith) then at the very least my own facebook timeline would have less junk in it.
An interesting point. Allot of ink has been spilled around whether or not we are inherently drawn to negative news or if the ecosystems themselves condition us to seek negative news.

You're correct that if negative news was less profitable then they would push less. But that is exactly the problem is that the content itself just seems to attract more eyeballs and even those outlets that want to be better are stuck in the same engagement arms race as all the rest.
That's because Larrabee wasn't totally canceled, it was just pivoted from a gaming GPU to an HPC accelerator in the form of Knights Corner/Landing. The idea of having lots of x86 cores with wide SIMD units didn't change, but it was a lot more successful in the HPC world because anybody could compile an old MPI or OpenMP application with AVX512 and it just worked.

> You are right about the theoretical capabilities of the populace, but in practice the psychological profile is such that there isn't much weight to your words. Many people could each think no one else cares because collective action is nothing if a collective doesn't form.

It's not theoretical. Collective action happens all the time - it's fundamental human behavior.

They did a good job in the sense that they provide the minimum neccessary baseline to run a graphical Windows environment without additional hardware.

It's hard for me to find a comment where I disagree with literally every sentence, but congrats!

1. So what if JSON is primarily used for data interchange? It's not like allowing comments would somehow make them magically show up on serialized objects. This objection makes 0 sense to me. And heck, tons of other serialization formats (e.g. XML) support comments. Besides, there is a big reason that human-readable serialization formats are so popular - because they're human readable! If you're really worried about size you should be using a binary format anyway.

2. "Rigid rulesets" has nothing to do with Crockford's arguments. It's one thing to prefer a particular type system, or limit functionality if you think it has high potential for misuse. By JSON not having comments all you end up with is worse workarounds, like putting comments in object keys.

3. "I'm not even sure why someone would want to write comments in package.json" To be blunt, then, I can't believe you've ever written any code in a business (i.e. with multiple developers) in the Node/NPM ecosystem. Is it really that hard to wonder why someone would want to comment why they added a particular dependency to their project? The lack of comments in package.json is one of the biggest complaints of this format, and it's certainly not just me, e.g. https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4482 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14221579/how-do-i-add-co...

I don't think that is necessarily true. But if you are non-technical, you need people advising you that are technical and actually listen to their advice.

> police and courts gave themselves permission

That’s not how something becomes legal.

Civil forfeiture is part of the legal codes in various states and has been left intact in its present state by the courts.

Making crack is just something some police did. No law was ever passed saying they could do it.

This ruling isn’t saying the laws on the books are good, or universally constitutional. It isn’t saying police will always stay within the constitution by following laws. It is simply saying that they are definitely not allowed to go outside the law. That’s the baseline standard of behavior the ruling established.
The difference between the accidental damage a knife can do versus what a circular saw can do is night and day. And I say this as someone who needed surgery after cutting through a tendon with a knife. :(

Old school radial saws, for example, basically don't exist anymore at the consumer level. They were simply too dangerous. Slider-type miter saws have almost completely replaced them.

Personally, I would even go so far as to suggest that weekend woodworkers should avoid even having a table saw, period.

The main problem with table saws is that they become a "do all" machine even for those kinds of actions that really shouldn't be done on it. You're already at the table saw, and it's often really convenient to just "sorta kinda" bodge something up on the table saw rather than doing the safe thing and changing the blade, putting together a real jig or using a completely different tool.

If you have a track saw or a cheap CNC instead, the danger level is way, way lower, and the result is probably a lot better.

This is not a reasonable reading of this paper, and it also goes against what is already medically known about male hormone levels, which do indeed fluctuate. Men do have a hormone cycle. This paper doesn't dispute that - it merely makes the (possibly surprising) finding that a change in testosterone levels does not correlate with a change in sexual behavior.

It does, however, note that fluctuating testosterone levels still affect sexual desire, only it seems to show that an increase in testosterone predicts a reduction of sexual desire:

> While there was no significant cross-effect of sexual desire on testosterone levels in our data, there was an unexpected negative cross-effect of testosterone on sexual desire (electronic supplementary material, table S2). Specifically, higher levels of testosterone were associated with lower future sexual desire. This finding, contrary to our expectations, is displayed in the discrete-time plot of results (figure 2b), where cross-regressive estimates are standardized for interpretation. Shown by the testosterone-desire line (solid blue line), a 1 s.d. increase in testosterone predicted a significant decrease in sexual desire, peaking (estimate = −0.12) at around 0.7 days later.
More than hormonal physiological effects, isn't psychological conditioning a much more dominant factor in consciously self-aware/acknowledged sexual desire? (Especially when it is being measured through self-reporting).

Until we invent some sort of non-obtrusive brain observability system (like a no-op continuous observability implant) that can take precise and accurate measurements with timestamps that can be correlated with other measurements taken across the boday of a person living their normal life, it is going to be difficult to form an effective study for this.
That's Claude for you.
If you're willing to agree "IQ" is in the same realm "Athleticism" in terms of realism and heritability, then I have nothing more to say. There would be no question studying IQ is incredibly valuable.

Sure, maybe there is no part of the human which is the IQ, and it's a merely a summary of other factors being expressed. I don't think IQ researchers ever claimed otherwise.

Are you familiar with "entropy"? Isn't that a statistical summary of a configuration of atoms? Wow! Emergent properties, with no physical existence are a big part of science.
The American car industry largely created, popularized, and continues to heavily promote the concept of huge SUVs and impractically huge pickups with high ground clearance, high weight, tall hoods and tall beds. It's almost synonymous with our national identity, in the modern automotive era.

And that domestic market seeking overseas sales is shaped by CAFE, which in combination with manufacturing conditions has almost prohibited them from making the sort of small
pickup trucks favored by the entire world before CAFE, and which remains common in the rest of the world. Sedans, minivans, even the tradesman's current best option in light commercial vans, are barely produced domestically anymore in comparison to the Lifestyle Truck, a thing which we gradually invented sometimes between 1980 and 2010 out of enclosure of small pickups, then the Soccer Mom replacing the minivan with a more vertically inclined Isuzu, then the Army HMMWV, then the F-150 and everything else just inflating in size annually.

CAFE's min-max optimization is why every marketing executive in the sector wants you to adopt an offroading hobby. That seeps out. Cultural export.
> the nonsense of Larrabee/making it out of x86

It only seems nonsense in retrospect. No one expected nVidia to improve flops/dollar in their GPUs that quickly.

And Larrabee wasn’t the only architecture deprecated by GPGPUs, Cell Broadband Engine by Sony+Toshiba+IBM was another one.

Okay fine yes. The proper and disciplined answer spoken by someone who appreciates the act of conducting science.

To make the point much more precise. From a philosophical perspective, while reaffirming existing knowledge is good and necessary for the continued advancement of scientific inquiry and the strengthening of knowledge of course, I would rather argue that the scope of the knowledge is too small.

Scientists are so terrified of being accused of going out of bounds of what can easily and reproducibly be quantified, that they end up proving near tautology and it leaves one questioning if this was worth all the time and money for research.

I guess I'm becoming a pragmatist as I age and feel a necessary part of knowledge is application. If scientific knowledge is not being used to improve the world, im not sure if it was worth the time and money.

I know this isn't how universities see it. But I feel that while the authorities on knowledge have become ever-more timid in what they are willing to prove and say, grifters and intellectual charlatans take advantage of the gap and tell people all forms of pseudo-science and dogma which is eaten up by the public because there isn't really an authoritative story to counter many times.

What do you think "heritable" means, and why does that make it "incredibly valuable" to study?

Honestly, doesn't seem like it would be that bad. Presumably you could then have a static go vet check for any time you implicitly initialize a union type to the zero value, then it's roughly the same compromise as handling copies of non-copyable values.
