People have the exact same rights and freedom as you, whether or not they have housing or do things you like. That's what freedom is - doing things you don't like.

People love advertising their embrace of dictatorship and oppression, as if it's clever or smart. It's really a failure of responsibility and duty.

The tests provide the same value as usual: early detection of coding mistakes, (somewhat) format specification of contracts, assurance the code does what it's supposed to do and continues to do what it's supposed to do as the codebase evolves over time.
I like to view it that we're all RNA-based lifeforms. Operationally: DNA, RNA, or other are just a vehicles which hold our information.

Yesterday on NPR they said that during last 2 decades number of movies with sex decreased 40% and mentioned Marvel as a showcase. I guess that is modern escapism - very neutered, no sex and a lot of pointless and senseless, in all senses, [imitation of] violence. And judging by how much money it gets - that is what audiences want.
Calling the proc stuff not mature might be totally fair when you consider that TFA got almost everything they wanted w/o it and the interface they got is more natural and the compiled code more efficient! Or it might just be fair to say that it is mature and just the wrong tool for TFA's task. I wouldn't know which is the case -- I'm not at the level of making my own categories.
Perhaps. Dollar-cheap infinite energy (massive IF) also means interplanetary civilisation (also massive IF) starts to look viable.

I'm personally not convinced we'll get there. "S"-curves also look exponential in the first half of their lifetime. Trouble ahead, but on the positive side, don't underestimate human ingenuity when it comes to keeping those bread trucks rolling.

Looking at outcomes - within the global top 20% or so of nations, there is little correlation between GDP and happiness, freedom, life expectancy and so on. A net worth of $1B, $10B, $100B buys you weeks (if that) of life expectancy vs $10M. What do we actually think we're going to get in return for boiling the oceans? Food? Sex? Shelter? Love? Or just a bunch of AI-generated VR porn?
>Can someone help explain this in a way that isn’t just absolute price gauging of the higher end customer base?

Price gouging, as a meaningful term, is restricted to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging

>Price gouging is a pejorative term used to refer to the practice of increasing the prices of goods, services, or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair by some. This commonly applies to price increases of basic necessities after natural disasters. Usually, this event occurs after a demand or supply shock.

Using the term "price gouging" anytime a potential buyer thinks a seller is asking for too much money renders it meaningless. I ask for as much money as the buyers for my labor will pay, as I assume the people selling to me do also.

It's just business, you try to earn as much as possible (and that could involve not maximizing in a specific transaction to incentivize repeat business in the future). But in no way is anyone under any duress when deciding to buy an Apple device, so if a buyer does not feel like being price gouged, they should buy something else.
Incelism has nothing to do with sexuality. Incel culture labels people - especially women - in bad ways and demeans them all the time. It's misogyny as an identity, it is not an immutable personal characteristic. Their participation in that culture and their behavior is entirely within their control.

There are a lot of people just uninformed people that will take whatever deals presented when that deal means getting a house. The person giving them the deal does not care at all about whether they can afford it or not, especially knowing that the loan was going to be repackaged and sold probably before the first payment was due let alone when the rates change
Glass beverage bottles are unpopular in the US too, but at least in places I've lived the recyclers don't want glass anymore. I think the only commercial glass recycling that is energy-efficient (that is, competitive with using plastic) is bottle washing. If you buy beer, wine, or anything else in glass here, which is not exactly rare, you usually have to just throw the bottles away.

I would be interested to know if your country subsidizes the glass recycling or if it is legally mandated. I'm also curious about relevant regulations in the US too. It might be the case that we require a level of sterilization for bottles that is more strict than other countries, that makes it uneconomical to recycle. There are so many possible factors. Recycling is a very low-profit industry and it is often operated at a loss. In some cases the recyclers throw away almost everything, keeping only certain easily separable stuff like aluminum cans and clean cardboard.

At the rate at which CO2 is disappearing from the atmosphere -or rather at the rate it was disappearing before the Industrial Revolution- we might only have one or two million years left. That's rather soon. The IR may well have added millions of years to the remaining lifetime of photosynthetic and aerobic life on Earth.
That’s true, and fair. I was glib due to my annoyance with the system, but of course it is structured to also hurt real people.

You might be confusing this with the Switzerland situation. The EEA states (Norway, Lichtenstein, and Iceland) indeed must take all legislation that’s part of the EEA into their domestic law. Sometimes directives and regulations have cave outs for countries but they’re rare.

Implementation is overseen by the EFTA Surveillance Authority who can sue members in the EFTA court.
Among the proposed strategies is to actually do such studies:

Most of the other suggestions are banal, and self-evident qualitative improvements (assuming you agree with the authors that homeless are people to be helped, and not a problem to be solved, which I wouldn't take for granted on HN). eg. maybe cops and sanitation workers aren't equipped to help people, so why are we sending them? Maybe housing costs are too high and we should build affordable housing? and other points which ChatGPT could probably summarize.
The load-bearing word “is” here overlooks a rather striking imbalance (pun intended). I’m picturing two supercuts and the one where Bond hits men and is hours long, versus the one where Bond hits women and is ten or fifteen minutes long at best. So, yeah, “is” — but was there some argument you intended to make that your statement supports?
I am sorry I wasn't clear. I am aware that TPM is a key storage. Just I am not convinced they keys it stores are secure. It smells of security by obscurity and all big corporations are happy clappy to use it and government is silent about it, which likely means they have a backdoor.

> Not irreparably. Some components will.

Okay.

Lol what are you even arguing right now? It is not legal for the USG to destroy, seize, or damage people's property when they are not breaking the law or credibly threatening people. At the times of the drone sightings, there was no evidence whatsoever of them breaking the law or credibly threatening people.

Please state your position explicitly instead of this silly dance.
It's slower than using just GPU RAM, but it's still faster than using a regular PC that has a much more limited bandwith between the main memory and the GPU. It's some sort of middle ground on how fast and how cheap you can do inference with LLMs that don't fit into a consumer GPU's RAM.
> won't allow samsung@domain.tld for some obscure reason.

It's not obscure. Some code monkey at Samsung was told to filter out certain addresses, Samsung ones among them, and just used a regex or substring search on the entire address.
A lot of people did, and a lot of people were made to feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome and ended up leaving the game/community because of their bad experiences with DMs who don't understand that it's not okay to have NPCs sexually assault a player's character just because they're a woman.

Now that we're laying out these kinds of guidelines, maybe the people who legitimately don't understand why that's bad will stop and listen to what others have to say, and the ones who don't will be showing that they're deliberately ignoring how they make other people feel.

I don't know if the article references credit card interest rates, but I think it's worth also including in the discussion.

The graph on this page illustrates how consumer credit card interest rates have skyrocketed, and how obscenely high it is relative to the Prime rate.
https://wallethub.com/edu/cc/historical-credit-card-interest...

I seem to recall that some years back the credit card interest rates were capped at a much lower rate than they are now.

Where this would lead us shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. And at a general level, many current systems in the US are on a clearly unsustainable trajectory. However this collapses, it's going to be really messy.
Fire has evocations, which are videos compressed down to something like just a description, then rendered at the receiving end in a way that hopefully has some resemblance to the original.

Absolutely, reading Selfish Gene in high school set me on the path to this type of exploration. Genes, in the pure abstract sense, are the unit by which we interrogate understand evolutionary change. There's a large grey area about the boundaries of genes, but after a certain point, genes assemble into operational units larger than themselves, a genome. Obelisks are some of the simplest, most rudimentary genomes described thus far.
With no prompt engineering this seems like a weird comparison. I wouldn’t expect anyone to be able to one-shot most of the AOC problems. A fair fight would at least use something like cursor’s agent on YOLO mode that can review a command’s output, add logs, etc
Because good creativity is somewhat orthogonal to money after a certain level. Peter Jackson didn’t make the greatest films of my childhood because he thought it would make him a lot of money. It was the inverse: he had to convince other people they would make money in order to access the resources required to make the greatest films of my childhood.

> Don’t have temporary people make permanent decisions

IMHO, this one line summarizes remarkably well why Hollywood wrecks fictional universes: Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Fantastic Beasts, DC Universe, and even parts of the Marvel universe.

I see the absence of an auteur capable of respecting themselves and therefore their audience as the root cause of clichéd moves such as "war is bad so let Wonder Woman kill the God Of War". Clearly, the person making such a decision simply does not have a reputation to uphold; what remains is optimizing ticket sales, one movie at a time.

I have friends who work(ed) at various FAANG companies, and maybe even more shamefully at "silly" places like d2c mattress companies and whatever (I worked on the civil side of a defense contractor, I'm not... ugh, innocent either). They're all pretty self-aware about all this, and I'm the first to say I'll never criticize you for how you make your money. Life in the US is oddly unstable; everything gets exponentially better the more money and status you have; that's the game. There's no sense cosplaying some kind of ethics here.

But, that's a different argument than the collective action problem argument you're making here. This isn't a collective action problem. Tech workers can spurn unethical work, just like doctors, lawyers, chemical engineers, etc. Very few of us would work on ransomware, right? Now we're just talking about degrees.

I just think we're starting to realize the "money firehoses" that are either ad tech companies or VCs laundering government ZIRP stimulus are at best unhelpful and at worst eating away at our mental health, our democracy, and our society. The problem is that these are truly behemoth companies, if you don't work for one the company you do work for probably wouldn't be viable without them (do you... have anything in the cloud?) As noted in TFA, there is a real Upton Sinclair problem here. Tech is unimaginable without Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, or Apple.

In the absence of legislation, I think tech workers should unionize and demand the following:

- ethical, highly regulated supply chains with penalties that make violations economically non-viable

- fundamental privacy protections: companies cannot share or sell data about you without your consent (basically a data HIPPA), and they're liable for security breaches (looking at you Microsoft)

- slowly phase out advertising. This is a hot take I know, but it's super bad for humans, its critics were right the whole time, and it enables business models (e.g. social media companies) that are somehow even worse.

- ethical treatment of workers: no more union-busting Amazon workers

Maybe it'll take 100 years, yeah, but hopefully humans are still around by then.

Not short but almost understandable. Given a text editor, save the following text as drawline.html:

// Draw the line
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo( 50, 50 ); // Starting point
ctx.lineTo( 200, 150 ); // Ending point
ctx.stroke();

document.write( "Hello World" );

Nonetheless, I (born 1947) too miss the simplicity of BASIC, the plethora of magazines for beginners, the many shelves of "for dummies books". And, especially, that we were all beginners.

These days, full stack developers and AI are priestly classes that that, currently, do not facilitate the investigation by newbs of the black boxes they create.

Nonetheless, I look forward to AI being able to read aloud Python, Rust, Cobal, Euler notation, Greek or whatever in ways that I may understand.

This is broadly called price discrimination.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination

It is basic microeconomics that a seller wants to be able to get as high of a price as buyers are willing to pay, but since different buyers have different abilities and willingnesses to pay, a seller can maximize their revenue by providing options at different price points.

Especially with societal wealth gaps, the people able and willing to pay higher prices are going to be able to pay higher price premiums, resulting in higher profit margins.
Not your mate but the OP already posted links to Fred which is where it’s public. I am sure moodys used some internal data but Fred delinquency and late rates should get pretty darn close.

I read this book as a first-year undergrad. His style inspired me to go after rigour and proof and was a good start to serious mathematics. I always loved Hardy's work and Hardy and Wright's number theory text was also very nice through my PhD in algebra/number theory. I found Hardy's book much nicer than the contemporary calculus texts with irrelevant pictures and modern-day examples. Just straight math! Not for everyone, but it has classical, austere appeal for those who enjoy such things.

Some people just don't understand social norms and, you know, other people's feelings, and use these sorts of games as their own personal power fantasy.

There have been a kind of gross number of threads I've seen where women join a group, make their character, and then spend the entire first session having their character abused, belittled, sexually assaulted, impregnated, etc.

Worth noting that not all D&D groups are among close friends; sometimes you get invited to a group because you're looking for people to play with and your friend group (if you have one) doesn't play. No different than joining a frisbee golf team, except with a much greater chance of a bottom-tier caliber of people.
