Yes I have. The underlying dataset is also freely available [1]. And all the points you raise have of course been considered and discussed, in the paper or in the follow up literature. Half the paper is dedicated to robustness tests. From where I stand this has absolutely nothing in common with replication crisis stuff, and you haven't given any indication for why it would be. Maybe you are not familiar with panel regression as used here? This isn't just throwing a bunch of points into a scatter plot and drawing a line through it.

The statement about 5 percent per 1 degree variability gives you the sensitivity, it's not meant to extrapolate to an actual increase of 1 degree. A 1 degree increase in variability would be absolutely massive. Your intuition that you "can't even feel this" is just wrong. Just to illustrate: The variability in historical data is roughly 3° as far as I know. A 1° increase means a massively wider distribution of daily temperatures within each month. More heat days, more extremes, more wild swings. I couldn't immediately find how much it has increased in the last century, unfortunately, but if I read this [2] right, then an increase in mean temperature by 4-5° in the SSP chosen is projected to come with an increase in day to day variability of 0.5° in the most affected regions. That's really the worst case scenario as far as climate change is concerned.

Again, when it comes to the comprehensive assessment of the cost of climate change produced by the same team there is a debate going on (that I don't know the details of, so I don't have an opinion either way), let's see what comes out of that:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07219-0

But I haven't heard anyone raise any real issues with the paper we are discussing, and it's well cited, and there are prominent economists who have staked their careers and reputation on climate change not being all that bad (e.g. Nordhaus), who are willing and able to push back against exactly this type of analysis if there are holes to be found...

I have a tentative plan for if I ever reach that level of success.

Basically, take all the money, set it to the side in parked long-term investments, pay myself a basic low-middle class paycheck, and live on it.

Then start again. Swing the bat. Rinse, repeat until I'm ready to just relax and be happy staring at the clouds all day.

I know myself well enough that I understand that a huge part of my character is the struggle. Without it, I'd feel ungrounded - purposeless.

If I'm too comfortable, I'll just get lazy and may end up in a downward spiral.

If I have just enough to pay my bills, I'll keep working hard, but it'll be on things that interest me instead of working on someone else's idea.
> The only thing that I never understood was why brands would allow Honey to be an affiliate. Why would they want to pay Honey any money when Honey doesn’t originate any traffi?

One YouTube channel, theo dot gg has a conspiracy theory about it which is honey:

1. amassed a huge (rabid) user base
2. Offered "protection" to companies

The evidence presented is Amazon dot com affiliates walk on eggshells to avoid breaking Toss that Honey completely tramples on so at the very least honey is not subject to the same tos as everybody. However, Amazon dot com is very aware of honey evidenced by advisory warnings on Amazon dot com website from a few years ago.

So I think basically the strategy here was:

1. Pay a lot of money to buy a user base
2. Offer protection to stores if they do certain things
3. Deliberately don't give the best offers to users if the stores pay this protection money, wreck the store somehow(?) if they don't
4. Profit
Read recently in Smithsonian about a founder in a similar situation (although I think he was still involved) who started an organization to find missing soldiers and return their bodies to relatives. Spent a lot of time and money finding MIAs lost in the Eastern theatre of war from WWII. (Dr. Patrick Scannon, Project Recover).
I got the toggle working, but couldn't get background transparency.
There are several ways to do that, from Karplus-Strong or FM synthesis all the way to solving differential equations (usually with the finite difference method), the more work is involved the more closed is the resulting product. And it's very hard to get it right.
> Why would they want to pay Honey any money when Honey doesn’t originate any traffi?

Paying Honey means you can limit the discounts available through Honey, sort of like a shitty protection scheme.

Because Honey bills itself to the consumer as the be-all-end-all coupon and discount app and advertises itself as "we know ALL the coupon codes and discounts", a consumer with the Honey extension will likely not look outside of that for a discount and assume whatever they got from the extortion racket as the end customer was "the best deal".

>I find it a little unsatisfying when people write these things without telling me roughly what they're worth. "Rich" can vary wildly depending who you ask.

As long as they don't need to work for a living ever again, and they'd still have a house, health coverage, food on the table, vacations at will, new clothes, new cars every few years, money for their kids and their kid's college, and diversified enough for covering whatever market issue, that's rich enough - doesn't matter if it's $20 million or $1 billion for the purposes of "I'm bored with no purpose" the author is getting at.
I could use 50k ;)
It’s definitely less rule by committee than the Hu administration, and even the Xi administration pre-deposing Li Keqiang
I feel like there's a weird psychology to these kinds of boo hoo posts that I see from rich people lamenting their good fortune. What's the actual sub-conscious impulse to flaunt your wealth in such a way that devalues it to the 99% of all humanity who weren't so lucky? I can only possibly conclude that the individual who does this is looking for ever more subtle and excusable ways of bragging while appearing to do the opposite. Really sad. If life is so hard when you don't have to work, please, oh virtuous one, do the selfish thing and offload the burden onto some other poor soul like myself. I'm sure I can find a way to bear it.
There are at least four other competing Chinese electric car companies. Let’s not forget them, the rest of the world won’t.

The cars are actually quite nice. I have no complaints. It’s possible that maintenance issues will emerge later, but that has already happened for Tesla. At this point we can’t claim they’re lower quality.

The US market is there for a cheap, nice electric car. Tariffs make it untenable.
I am a fan of capitalism because, as a former poor person, I think it's the best system for poor people. Not because I think it will eliminate the existential woes of the affluent.

seriously, study after study shows that just giving people money is the most effective form of altruism. just give it away. go to your city's homeless shelter and give money away. write a check for your local school board. keep everything anonymous. give it all away.
Ghostty has also been out for what, a week? So this is the open season / shakedown, when security researchers get to try out all the old favorites and see what got missed.

I don't think there are larger lessons to draw from that occurrence. A reputation for security has to be earned, and Ghostty hasn't been around long enough for that. From my vantage point it's on track, but only time will tell.
It's a real guy and the story is real too. Good programmers aren't always great philosophers...
A couple other commenters mentioned seeking enlightenment. I cannot claim to have anywhere near OP’s amount of wealth, but something that weightlifting and yoga (and more particularly power lifting) have taught me is mindfulness, and contentment. That might seem strange but coming to terms with the limits of one’s own strength and then learning the limits of their body and pushing both of them requires lots of thoughtfulness and patience - especially if you want to do it for the long term (I’ve been doing it for ~10 years). In my mind there is no cheating either (steroids are not an option).

Whether it’s weightlifting, yoga, meditation, or chopping wood, I hope you can find your path to contentment OP!
Ah, totally possible, but wrapping llama.cpp will likely take a week to spike out and a month to stabilize across models.

The biggest problem for relying on it for local software is there's just too much latency for ex. game use cases currently. (among other UX bugaboos) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42561095)

Isn’t the correct fix to assume compromise and rotate all SSH keys? I imagine there will be scripts created very quickly to grab this file from any servers, so even if it is deleted soon there is no guarantee someone else has not read it.
A bit funny to quote "chop wood, carry water." In this context "enlightenment" must be taken to mean "earning a shitload of money."
So far it doesn’t. But Windows 11 24H2 now requires support for the POPCNT instruction and otherwise won’t boot, which excludes some older CPUs. Conceivably future Windows 11 updates will add further hard requirements like that.
Just curious: did you actually read the whole post?

When I got back home and regaled my friends with my mountain stories, one of my friends joked that I should work for Elon and Vivek at DOGE and help America get off its current crash to defaulting on its own debt. So I reached out to some people and got in. After 8 calls with people who all talked fast and sounded very autistic smart, I was added to a number of Signal groups and immediately put to work.

Working for DOGE for 4 weeks, remembering the power of urgency

Within 2 minutes of talking to the final interviewer for DOGE, he asked me if I wanted to join. I said “yes”. Then he said “cool” and I was in multiple Signal groups. I was immediately acquainted with the software, HR, and legal teams and went from 0 to 100 taking meetings and getting shit done. This was the day before Thanksgiving.

The next 4 weeks of my life consisted of 100s of calls recruiting the smartest people I’ve ever talked to, working on various projects I’m definitely not able to talk about, and learning how completely dysfunctional the government was. It was a blast.

I learned about the power of urgency and having an undeniable mission. Not by reading it somewhere. By experiencing it. I came to realize how laughable my robotics stint had been in comparison. And I started to realize that, although the mission of DOGE is extremely important, it wasn’t the most important thing I needed to focus on with urgency for myself. I needed to get back to ambiguity, focus on my insecurities, and be ok with that for a while. DOGE wasn’t going to fix that.
I'm not sure about that. There are markdown rendering engines where you can specify the language of a codeblock and it will render with specific CSS based on the language. So you can do something like ```bash ... ``` and it will show the code with newlines prefixed by "$"
OPs comment says - if theres too many cars it goes down to 15kw.

That has nothing to do with conditioning.
You ain't wrong, but I think it rather goes like this:

The core problems (health, relationships, love troubles, depression, and so on) can be the same in both poor and rich.

But the poor additional have all kinds of very heavy problems that the rich have solved. Hate your boss/job? They have "fuck you money", they don't need to work. Your kid needs surgery? They can afford many times over what would kill you financially. Trouble making rent? Not a problem for them. And so on. Stuck in a warn torn country? Not a problem for them. Wife wants a divorce and half the fortune? No problemo, you're still rich after giving that away.

Don't the rich also have some unique-to-the-rich problems? Yes, but of the nice-to-have (e.g. "people approach me just because I have money") or "I'm too adjusted to this level of the hedonic treadmill, woe be me" variety.
Yeah, they used the wrong word. No "stealing" of code is happening here. It's just infringement of someone's copyrights. Theoretically, they could be taken to court over it. In practice, courts are a rich corporation's game.

Copyright should not even exist to begin with. GPL is just there to try to use the system against itself by essentially forcing everything it touches to be public domain. GPL is barely above the copyright industry from a moral standpoint. That usually causes people to treat violations of it far more charitably. Nobody feels sorry for the trillion dollar copyright industry.

We live in a world where the same trillion dollar corporations who compare us all to high seas pirates who rape and burn will also engage in AI washing of copyrighted material at industrial scales. That's a far more interesting contradiction than what you're presenting and far more deserving of the people's indignation.
It's a sad state of bad features, unwanted behavior, reduced functionality, and regular regressions in behavior/performance. Honestly, it's an embarrassing situation for them that shows how much they've lost whatever way they had left.

Trust me, the kind of surveillance they do on a corporate level, in office, is far more intrusive than you would ever believe.

There should be laws to protect workers like this, but this won't happen as it hurts the corporations in charge.
Not sure what you mean here. All endpoints are equally public.
Even Windows 7 with that classic look enabled was still fine.
I ran into the same thing with DOGE.

I console myself by thinking about how many hundreds of thousands of resume links they must have received.

I struggle with hiring when I have a few tens of resumes to sort through.

I can't imagine how they'll filter the signal from the noise and trolls with X DMs being the submission process.
Disturbing as hell. I'd never heard this before.

Ghostty supports iTerm themes, so you should be able to transfer your preferred look-and-feel directly. I just picked one I liked, so I'm not familiar with the process, but it can be done.
This reminds me of the saying "one must imagine sisyphus happy".

Humans can be very happy working towards something. Not having a goal is an existential problem because we have no true purpose.
Given the brevity of the security report, I figure the author wanted to get the relevant details about the *incident* posted as fast as humanly possible. However, it does seem appropriate to acknowledge that just because they're being terse doesn't mean they don't understand how big of a mistake it was.

That being said, I would also strongly expect a more in-depth blog post following up, with details about just the sort of thing you're mentioning.
> People can jump employers while one H1B

Good luck finding a new employer willing to sponsor your H1B within just 60 days (the grace period allowed before self-deportation) in this job market.

Additionally, switching employers resets your green card approval process (if it has started), which can take years. This serves as a significant disincentive to change employers unless you've already filed your I-485. Considering that an H1B worker has only 6 years to progress through this process, there is even more pressure to avoid changing employers.
> wired is best, but for many it's not possible.

For some it's not possible, but in my personal experience a lot of people who "can't" wire really just don't want to wire.

Even if you can't do a full "professional grade" install there are almost always viable options unless you live in an apartment built like a prison.

I have in the past:

* Poked tiny easily-patched holes in the wall just large enough to pass a bare cable through to an adjacent room

* Tuck cables under baseboard molding

* Run cables through vents

* Followed existing television/telco wiring

* (last resort) Just stapled the cable to the wall/ceiling, optionally covering with stick-on covers.

Most of those options can be hidden from view and all are trivially removable/repairable so there's no issue in a rental situation.

Almost everyone can do most if not all of those things if they want to, they just usually don't want to because they've been trained to not like wires, that wireless is better.

I have actually had a person complain about lag on their game console, which was in the shelves under their TV connected via WiFi to their cable modem which was in the same shelves, and they didn't want me to plug in a simple six foot cable between the two because they didn't want more wires. That's just pure stupid.

If it doesn't move, it should be wired unless there is absolutely no practical way to wire it. Desktop computers, game consoles, TVs, etc. Even laptops, if you're working from home and sitting at a desk, have a cable there. Modern laptops with USB-C docking stations make it easier than it's ever been, the same cord that provides power also provides reliable high speed networking.
In this case the video is a bona fide Biblical scholar who does public outreach on TikTok. It's a good source.

On the bright side this made me realize the stock terminal app has improved. I do use iTerm2 for its better rendering of text and color (and easier configuration of those things) but I don't really make use of any other features. Time to switch, perhaps.
>We now turn to the merits, which the parties have argued here in exemplary fashion. But the key flaw in the FCC’s arguments throughout is that the FCC elides the phrase “offering of a capability” as used in § 153(24). That phrase makes plain that a provider need not itself generate, process, retrieve, or otherwise manipulate information in order to provide an “information service” as defined in § 153(24). Instead, a provider need only offer the “capability” of manipulating information (in the ways recited in that subsection) to offer an “information service” under § 153(24). Even under the FCC’s narrower interpretation of “capability,” Broadband Internet Access Providers allow users, at minimum, to “retrieve information stored elsewhere. And we think it equally plain, for the reasons recited below, that Broadband Internet Service Providers offer at least that capability.

While I can't totally relate to this scenario I feel something like this playing video games. I'm happiest when I'm working towards the goal and once you defeat the big boss / get the best gems, etc you're just standing there wondering what now.

I think the most exhilarating part is before you are about to beat the big boss (which in this case would be the offer for acquisition i suppose).

Three suggestions

- pick anything you don't know the answer to, try to find the answer
(can also be personal, like how you behave in certain ways)

- pick something physical you do not have, instead of buying it, make it yourself

- pick some skill you don't have or would like to have, get proficient in it
