Sooner or later with hindsight it should be possible to recognize the stepwise declines over the preceding 5 or 10 years.

Then maybe that could be correlated with changes in average programmer brilliance when it occurred in years previous to then.

In order to calculate a reasonable idea of lag time which I feel is quite uncertain now, and probably not well understood.
Why can't they? But you think that's what this is? Worldwide, this is us military? They'd just say it's a test, people would ignore it. It's not that.

This implies that the current number is the right number then, doesn't it? If so, why?

The "buffer" model. Half the speed of using vim in a project for me is the ability to manipulate the layout and having different "windows" on the same file. One of my most common workflow is to split the current window and navigate to a different part of the same file for reference purpose (can quickly switch to another file with fuzzy finding too).

And quick integration with external tooling. Creating an extension for vscode is cumbersome.
Cold emails are almost always spam, and what you're advocating is the old "just hit delete" chorus that email and usenet spammers started with lo these many years ago.

Sure, your _ever so valuable cold email_ takes a second or two to delete. Every fkn time you send it to me. You every other one of the 100,000 companies in the USA. It's not sustainable. Not one bite at the apple. No bites at the apple, spammer.

Once a spammer, always a spammer.
NIMBYism but instead of no housing they shouldn’t even be born?
Absolutely, and that's why I'm worried about sounding like an Islamophobe and not being one. The issue is obviously (to me) one of strict religious orthodoxy, not specific religious affiliation. The problem being that there is only a single major immigrant group with strict religious orthodoxy and it happens to be Muslim. If Amish or Mormon fundamentalists were immigrating to my country in large numbers I would have the exact same concern.

> Fundamentally, entropy depends on the probability distribution, not the observer.

Right but a probability distribution represents the uncertainty in an observer so there is no inconsistency here (else you're falling for the Mind Projection Fallacy http://www-biba.inrialpes.fr/Jaynes/cc10k.pdf).
Indeed, python dug its own grave by not supporting in-directory venv.

One can emulate it with tools like poetry and uv but that incurs a performance penalty that every script has to go through `poetry run` and `uv run` which is often a few hundret ms and unsuitable for performant CLIs.
Either that, or you are trying to teach people arithmatic, in which case having them do it by hand is a benefit.
Ask HN: Parents who control their kids' education, when do you introduce LLMs?
I have no children, but I am part of a family group chat where we discuss these things.

Thus far, 7yr and 10yr old nephews have not been introduced to LLMs. These kids already write code, and not introducing them to LLMs is somewhat analogous to the fact that they have not been given calculators for math.

At what age/point is teaching them about the availability of LLMs a good thing[0]? They will find out eventually, is a parental introduction better than just a random introduction?

[0] The creators of Django, Redis, and Linux believe that LLMs are not useless, so let's agree to move beyond that for the sake of argument.
And if you really think about who is getting insulted here? It's the NVIDIA and AMD driver and toolchain hackers. I read diffs from those folks: they are polymath ballers. The average HN comment including this one has more bugs in it than a patch from an NVIDIA/AMD driver author.

But no, they're supposedly just too incompetent to run PyTorch or whatever. Fuck that, the hackers kick ass.

This shit is broken because shareholders get more rent when it's broken.
Isn't this a pointless goal anyways since any spaceship we'd have capable of getting to any meaningful percentage of c would get destroyed by any small amounts of matter or gas it bumps into on the way.
uv (and requirements.txt as a lock) + Debian Docker container (distroless with added packages for runtime). There are no problems with this setup.
I think moderne was agreeing with bawolf and responding to gregwebs’ “Perhaps this could be replicated just by putting phones away at night.”
My rule of thumb: If the headline and the body contradict, always trust the body (or even better, the peer reviewed journal article).

Never trust headlines, they are optimised for clicks, not accuracy. It's also common for headlines to be written by someone other than the article body, someone who potentially only skimmed the article, and changed based on A/B testing.

And TV show titles.... basically useless.
> Interestingly, the research didn’t show significant improvements in cognitive ability; the phone ban group showed a modest 3% boost in working memory, and there were no improvements in sustained attention. Researchers suggest that these results might mean that changes in cognitive ability could take longer than the study period of 21 days to materialise.

Notice how they had decided beforehand what they were going to find out, and are making an excuse here for not finding part of it.
This seems like a solved problem with pyenv which is very popular. You can also include a `.python-version` in your git repo root dir to automatically use the correct python interpreter version when in the scope of that repo.
How does a country skew toward theocracy? There are only a handful of theocracies and most don't have notably high birthrates

I once wanted to try that, but I'm familiar with vim enough that these kind of manipulation is done without even thinking about it. Only visual line mode proves useful when I need to yank/delete whole sections.
You have to find a prob by talking to orgs on the ground and then think about tech applications. Doing it the other way round can be frustrating. Useful to read James C Scotts Seeing like a State.
Avoiding C's biggest issues can overcome a good amount of pre-1.0 problems.
Strong driver and kernel support compared to other arm boards in the price range is a huge benefit.
> Most web-based services don't need random UDP packets from the internet.

HTTP3 is UDP-based. If you're running a modern web service, blocking UDP isn't a viable option.

> DNS and NTP can use TLS, etc.

No, they can't. DoH is only used for recursive resolvers (like those operated by ISPs); if you want to run an authoritative DNS server for your domain, you still need to respond to queries on UDP port 53. NTS (RFC 8915) still uses UDP for time synchronization packets; only the initial key exchange is over TCP.
Putin is playing with fire manipulating elections that put borderline fascists in power. Especially in the US. He might be in for a dissapointing surprise. We shall see.

The only way to win against the US is to divide it from within and/or obtain its non-involvement. By the time they send a carrier strike group, or worse, troops, it's game over. So that's what the Kremlin is doing: the thing that wouldn't have worked during the Cold War because the commie agitators would have either ended up in prison or being constantly harassed.
I understand the need to have a plaintext format, but when did we forget that spreadsheet exist? I’ve used that for decades. Markdown is not appropriate for such a task, and actually it’s the worst of the text formats and only got popular thanks to platforms like GitHub.

Use Calc in LibreOffice. That way you’ll get a powerful application that does everything you need, you can export to CSV, and you don’t need to use Google Sheets which is very bad for the usability, longevity, and privacy of your data. Also you’ll learn new skills.

And that solution is not complicated or worse, it removes an inefficient text format, and replaces Google with another tool that you control.
> I suspect most economies would hit a saturating point where most people are underemployed and there's no productive work left for new entrants.

I don't know if that's actually true. When you have more people, you likely need more construction to house them, and more restaurants for them to eat at, and more shops for them to shop at, etc. And more delivery drivers, etc. That's not to say a mass of people is enough to form a thriving economy... I think there does need to be some core product or service or some of the people are contributing to or a resource they're harvesting, because the economy either needs to be self sufficient or be able to exchange something of value for the inputs it needs.

It's really hard to measure, of course.
>You've seemingly borrowed an argument for larger cities and applied it to schools without understanding it.

I don't know that argument and never heard it.

Intellectual sorting will be applied in a real world.

By saying you have to meet all 200 teachers or 5000 students to find a mentor or friend would mean you have to try on all shoes, or cloths at a store to find the proper one(s). Your shoe, shirt, and pants size, with your acceptance of brands, greatly reduces the "you can try on only so many shoes, shirts, pants" argument. [0]

Is the student into robotics? Most likely only a STEM teacher would be into robotics, which reduces the number of teachers to meet to find a mentor. See a person wearing a shirt for a band you like, more passive intellectual filtering to find a friend and reduce the number of people to interaction with to find a friend. Into beat-boxing, perform at the school talent show and communicate to all 200 and 5000 students at once. You still might be the only one into beat-boxing though. More Intellectual filtering that go against "having to meet everyone to find a friend or mentor" argument.

Say you want to go out to a movie and there are 100 movie theaters in your area. Will you go to each one to find the right theater and movie? Or will you start sorting based on physical distance, known history, online checking of movies the theater is playing and times? Will you stop once you found something to go and see after viewing the 3rd theater or will you look and analyze all 100?

Dating apps, meet-up apps, social media channels or groups, even Hacker News, are all forms of Intellectual filtering, to assist in the "lacking something else" bonding.

Lets rephrase it. Say you want to have sex. Which would most likely help you reach that objective? Which has a high problematical outcome to achieve what you want, asking 10 people or asking 100 to have sex?

[0] I have abnormal size feet. As a kid, only found shoes that fit at stores with the larger product selection that sold only shoes. Had to try on countless number to find a single pair that fit. This feed my disdain for shoe shopping. As an adult, purchase them online because not even Nike sells my size, and I don't have to waste days trying multiple on.
This is so interesting! I had this experience just a few weeks ago at a restaurant with a group of people where I talked about the most introverted and extroverted in the group, with another person who seemed to be introverted and that got them interested in talking a lot more just with me. It was so much more fun than listening to the 2 other loud people in the group.
Did you perceive the invisible gorilla after all?
It seems like it's not. Nobody has ever prevailed in court for the "you can't deep link to our website" clause. There is a circuit split on "you can't embed images from our website". In the 9th Circuit, Perfect 10 v Google establishes precedent that you can <img src="someone else's site"> if you feel like it. In the Southern District of New York (2nd Circuit), Nicklen et al v. Mashable, Inc. defines precedent that you can't. As far as I know, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has not said anything about that. Either way, the next person to encounter this issue probably goes to the Supreme Court.

I think the department of transportation is overreaching. You can link to the location of the traffic cams and the video feeds. If they want to make that information private, then fine, they might be allowed to do that. But telling people about something that's public isn't illegal. That people are disrupting traffic by standing in the street having their pictures taken is too bad. They can increase the refresh rate to avoid that problem, or they can remove public access, or they can have the cops write people tickets for blocking traffic. Of the cameras in my neighborhood that I looked at, most of them can take your picture on the sidewalk and all of them can take your picture in the crosswalk during a walk signal.

Overall, I get why the DOT doesn't like this site, but I think it's kind of too bad for them. The DOT wants to maximize vehicles per hour. Residents want to take back their streets. Sorry, DOT. Evolve or die?
Optimizing your code for slow machines is a really great thing. I wish more people would do it. If your code runs well on a slow computer then it'll run well on anything better too. A lot of code these days only runs "well" on very fast computers...
Senna gets a lot of credit for protesting the lack of safety, but he was a supreme hypocrite. He was more than happy to ram his competitors off the track, bullying them so everyone would get out of his way for fear of blowing their budget fixing crash damage - and he'd get clean laps.

FIA could have shut it down at any point but likely didn't because of how many F1 fans he brought in from Brazil and South America.
I'm sure you don't mean it this way but the "immigrants who don't assimilate" is both ahistorical and a (typically) white nativist talking point.

It's ahistorical in the sense that what population hasn't immersed after 2-3 generations? They're indistinguishable from any other American. As just one example, over half of CBP officers are Latino/Hispanic [1].

Plus, assimilate into what? Culture isn't static. What is US culture now is different than 40 years ago or 100 years ago or 200 years ago. When people (and again, to be clear, I mean generally not you specifically) they're clinging onto a flawed picture of what culture was or should be that was never really the case or, at best, was only the case for a very narrow window.

A prime example in online spaces is fetishizing the 1950s and it's hardly ever mentioned that women couldn't get certain jobs, what jobs they could get were severely underpaid compared to their male counterparts, the idyllic life was only possible because of a permanent underclass of lowly paid workers and the top marginal tax rate was 91%.

This is a deep topic. But "culture" is often used nowadays as a more polite label for "Islamophobia" and/or "racism". I would encourage you to look at who, politically, bangs that particular drum (eg AfD in Germany, Le Pen in France) and really consider the whole platform they're pushing, who it's for and why.

DisplayPort in a way won. USB-C video is DisplayPort. And the HDMI port on your laptop is just an internal USB adapter for DisplayPort alt mode for hdmi.
From the top of my head.

* Microsoft Windows

* Microsoft Excel

* Python/Pandas

* Web browsers

They all do great things and deserve all the praise for maintaining backwards compatibility, havoc would have ensued otherwise.

Does not mean that they should not be replaced though.
It’s growing into a similar problem as faced by nations with an inverted population pyramid and no immigration: an increasingly smaller share of workers whose productivity supports an increasingly large proportion of the economically idle.

But it happens much faster because rather than being economically idle due to having worked and contributed to society for 40-some years like those nations’ retiree seniors, Haredim move smoothly from being children drawing on societal resources to being adults drawing on societal resources with no period of usefulness in the middle. By analogy, they’re the peacock feathers of Israeli society, and how things get resolved with that will get … interesting.
The MacBooks HDMI port is also just a usb device internally. Utilising DisplayPort alt mode.
In my experience that it’s uncommon to find yourself thinking “I wish this language was less powerful” - far more common to find yourself thinking “I wish this language was less safe.”

Less safe more powerful gives you more options.

You can always make things less safe - it’s hard to make them more powerful.
Yep, this. For non-expansion states (not applicable to you OP, you're good in WA!), if you find yourself with an income too low to quality for ACA subsidies, you may be able to for example do 401K -> Roth IRA conversions to raise your MAGI.

Also ACA eligibility is based on your estimate for next year's income. If you make more than expected you may have to pay back subsidies, but if you make less than expected - provided it was an honest best-effort estimate - my understanding is they historically don't try to claw it back or anything.

There are other large immigrant groups that arent Muslim and also have issues integrating. Also, many Muslim immigrants have varying degrees of orthodoxy.

I’d say another part of the problem lies with the fact that Europeans tend to be pretty racist and insular group (and definitely so when compared to how they envision themselves). They complain about everything from Roma to West Africans (many of whom are not Muslim) moving to their countries. Hell, the Portuguese complain about Brazilians moving to their country and stealing their language with their slang.

Of course it’s all relative. Europeans are most definitely more welcoming than say the Japanese.
Our brains create mental "chapters" with new event segmentation study
Direct derivative works of a single work is easy to prove by model activation but input/output similarity is much easier to get outrage points. True internal function would show that no-use is required to "distribute" derivative seeming content which is rather confusing and is effectively the defense. At these levels a derivative of a derivative is indistinguishable to the human eye anyway.

Soon people will get that you can no longer assume when two pieces of text are similar it is because of direct plagiarism.

You have missed a lot of what i said/implied. First i used the phrase "Indian Subcontinent" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent) which geographically includes much more than the current nation state of India. Second, the linguistic diversity in the Indian Subcontinent is thousands of years old, well predating the arrival of Muslims/British into India. In fact, the modern Indian state lines were drawn based on linguistic identity which has always existed. So i am not arguing from the modern Indian state pov but quite the opposite.

Your statement that Sanskrit did not originate in the Indian Subcontinent is controversial and is not settled. But regardless, there were groups who had Sanskrit as their lingua-franca and who specialized in orally transmitting and then writing down their own (and borrowed from other cultures) philosophies and worldviews. The other linguistic groups in India did not do it to the same degree and hence you have the current situation where it appears that all knowledge only came through Sanskrit one-way. This is the fallacy that i am pointing out. Note that this is quite apart from what the content of the Sanskrit texts themselves may/may not convey; that is a different matter and has to be looked at through a different lens.
It's true that heat pumps have different performance characteristics from furnaces, but they weren't touching that issue, just insulation.

Will insulation reduce your needs? Yes. If you get into a situation where your foundation is responsible for most of your heat loss in -10F weather, you're in a great situation!

If improving the insulation on your walls is too hard, well that's disappointing, but that's a different topic from what happens when you do have good insulation.
This is the checkmate. The moment anything is published, it is fair game, it is part of the human consciousness and available for incorporation in anything that it sits as a component. Otherwise, what is the fucking point of publishing, mere revenue? Are we all not collectively competing and contributing? Furthermore, is not anything copied from anything published arguably not satire? Protected speech satire?
