I agree with the idea of supporting local non-huge businesses that still (need to) for their customers. But I think the coop concept works for more spread-out organizations as well, especially when it comes to digital services. As you mentioned, some big organizations like banks and grocery stores (that operate country-wide or even internationally) exist in Europe. There are also remote-first design/tech cooperatives around.

Can you elaborate more on how the expense split maths worked? Also why would the contractor wish to keep getting the business through the coop. Once they have the business, isnt it in their interest to make a direct deal for the next instalment of work?

The person directing you to the tech coop peer group is a spot on. There are many ways of doing this, but IMHO it ultimately comes down to writing bylaws for an organization that dictate how resources are accumulated and distributed, and evaluating the associated incentives and dynamics generated by those rules.
I get your point, and my first question was "what operations are even atomic here for this problem to be well-defined?".

But I think "language operations are atomic and everything else isn't" is a reasonable inference for a puzzle.

I'm also intrigued by locking being done through atomic assignments; I thought it required at least something like "write if equal to value" or "write new value and return old".
When I was a kid I discovered ELIZA at a museum and spent hours chatting with her, trying to figure out how it worked. It was a lot of fun. Maybe I'll get a second chance.

I totally agree that the Arab spring ended in near complete failure, and is not an ideal in and of itself, and violent revolution is in no way desirable for societies like the US. Maybe I should have connected the analogy fully:

Suppose that there was an issue that most citizens would normally feel very strongly about, but which benefits the state: war immediately comes to mind. There should be protests and (non-violent of course) civil unrest against wars the public feels to be unjust or immoral. Such demonstrations could easily be lulled in the right media environment, which is why alternative channels are important. I can easily imagine a future where TikTok is the premier dissonant chord against the drumming of war.

I'm not going to hide by biases here, I rather do romanticize popular anti-war movements.
I have seen zero evidence that passive index investing is having any deleterious impacts on market pricing. If people are putting their money into stocks, it really doesn't matter if they buy a small piece of the entire market (at current stock prices) or if they put the money into one stock (which then impacts that stock differently than 'buying the market').

But, at the end of the day, this is only an issue for money managers who are losing customers to passive index funds. For individual investors who want the best return, there is no issue.
This is neat! However, it is now longer the WFC algorithm. The idea of the WFC algorithm is that it is limited to one-at-a-time iteration, this mathematically means that every element in the input communicates its full "state" to the output.

The parallel tiling is neat, and the resulting cross-boundary replacements are neat as well, but they are in no way WFC, and as a result will lack a lot of the positive properties of the original algorithm! This is a kind of procedural generation now that does approach the properties of WFC in the limit as the number of chunks and comparisons goes to infinity.

It is a great way to scale an approximate/approximating WFC algorithm (and I'm a huge fan of the first post on this -- sent a video of results from it to someone just a month ago or so!), so it may end up being much more practical in use day-to-day due to the speed of chunk loading.

I do maintain that WFC looked a bit nicer and more natural due to the iterative collapse bit and the constraints out on it, it felt, very "cohesive". I feel like some of that has been lost in the speedier chunk-based algorithm (i.e. the entropy of the generations is much lower), but, this doesn't mean that it's not as useful or anything like that. Just a tradeoff for parallel computation (and I'd call it something like "approximate WFC" or "pre-baked approx WFC" or the like just for clarity's sake).

In any case, good work and I appreciate the problem solving skills and especially a lot of the hard problem solves like the heightmap differences and such. Very cool stuff and I'd love to see how this (and/or adjacent techniques) get incorporated into games at some point in the future! :)

“Drivers often need firing.” – is that a given fact or would a small coop perhaps do better selection and/or training of drivers to create a high retention? This is a recurring scheme of cooperatives as well: longevity and people-centric thinking. While the standard business might toss out people without thinking twice, coops might approach these kinds of issues with more creativity and resourcefulness.
Several years before it became fashionable to dismiss everything as a Makov chain.

Given a simple history can be mapped into a higher dimensional state, Markov chains are much more common than they first seem, so it's basically* always possible to dismiss any physically implementable system as "a Markov chain" if you're so inclined.

* While I wouldn't be surprised if someone has come up with laws of physics that can't be described by a Markov chain, mere quantum mechanics can.
Americans get no drugs covered--at all--unless you're over 65, have insurance through your employer, or pay thousands for insurance yourself (and often thousands more to meet your out-of-pocket deductible each year).

You will remove the last listed “choice” from the list and “take” it (presumably one “takes” a podcast by watching it). After taking each choice, you will wait for 25 minutes, during which time you are expected to fall asleep. If you do not fall asleep in those 25 minutes you will repeat this process with the now-current last item in the list.
If the list is exhausted and you are still awake, you and the program terminate.

The chaos I keep inside
Tbh, I don’t remember a lot of stuff, but some things just never stick. Like, I read this book once that said, "People don’t remember what you say; they remember how you made them feel." And honestly? I 100% agree 'cause I’ve totally felt that. Idk how some people remember their whole childhood so clearly—it’s like a dream to me. Actually, more like a nightmare.

When I see people wishing they could relive their childhood, I’m like, wow, their childhood must’ve been amazing. Mine? Nah, I wouldn’t even wanna think about it. It’s kinda a blessing that I have a goldfish memory. Like, how do people even remember the faces and voices of people who’ve passed away? For me, moments I spent with them feel like blurry dreams—faces out of focus, memories incomplete, like half-remembered nightmares.

And then there are smart people. Like, what’s it even like to have a brain that works that fast? For them, life must be a breeze—understanding stuff in school, solving equations, or explaining things to others. They’re just... built different. They don’t need to try too hard; they just know they’re right or wrong, and convincing others? Easy. Their confidence is unmatched. And their parents? Even if they don’t say it, they must feel so proud. But let’s be real, smart people don’t even need validation—they get what they want through sheer brainpower.

Then there’s me, stuck trying and hoping but never really getting there. I know, no matter how hard I try, I’ll never measure up to them. It’s like I’ve already given up before starting. I know it’s wrong, but what can I do? "Someone who’s desperate enough to die has already felt what it’s like to live."

And let’s talk about communicating with people. It’s so hard for me to explain myself because it feels like everyone just wants to be understood first. That’s why I always try to listen to others, especially when they talk about themselves—maybe they don’t have anyone else who really listens. But now it’s like I’ve forgotten how to talk about myself. Inside, my mind is so loud. I talk to myself so much that my own brain gets tired, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop the chatter.

The weird thing? I can’t share any of this with others. It’s like the words just vanish. And maybe that’s a good thing because as long as you keep your pain to yourself, you’re in control. But the moment you share it? It stops being a private struggle and becomes a spectacle.

Still, I wonder... am I losing it? Or maybe I already have.
Thanks for sharing- I find that these type of anecdotes often do work for other people, and are not information people can get from a doctor. I’m going to try what you suggest myself- I also tend to wake up at night and not fall back asleep, with no obvious explanation.
I have every single one of your symptoms and arrived at almost the same conclusion: taking electrolytes tablets intended for workout recovery (just sodium, magnesium and potassium, no sugar) improves alleviates almost all of my symptoms and gives me energy I haven't had since I was 12. I haven't been able to get a doctor to take me seriously for ten years. I will try the potassium + magnesium tablets at night instead of a generic multivitamin. Thank you so much for your comment.

Do you have any additional information about this relationship between CSF and electrolyte deficiency? Do you know anything about possible upstream causes of electrolyte deficiency? Any pointers would be super helpful.
The extra versatility is a con in my opinion. I want a dedicated e-reader that does one thing and does it well. Every design decision should be made with the goal of improving the reading experience.

Silicon Photonics Breakthrough: The "Last Missing Piece" Now a Reality
There are mountains of evidence that Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon are the CCP, and it's already been publicly illustrated that the CCP controls Tiktok. You have to have a cyber security background to understand the attribution, but a ton of it is TLP green (public). If that's something you care about just Google it.

That said, it's not your job to understand it.

We both, presumably, voted. That was our input to the process. We don't get to be consulted about every decision thereafter.

The people we voted for were briefed in private by SME's who know more about nation state attribution than we likely ever will and had access to sources they can't reveal to us. They then made this decision.

That said, if you don't trust the people elected (of either party since this was bipartisan), don't trust the experts, can't agree on the facts, and don't even agree on what constitutes a reliable source there's no point in having a conversation.

At that point you're beyond the utility of conversation as you no longer share a common frame of reference with your fellow man. There can be no argument in good faith with someone who is completely faithless.

I'm curious what you would actually accept as a reliable source? Is there any means by which you could be shown sufficient evidence? What have you put in the place the rest us keep a relatively common framework for 'reliable source'? Tiktok, maybe?
Man, I love HN so much. This is really freaking cool. I have an app idea related to cleaning up litter. This makes me want to build it even more. Thanks for posting.

The US is an extreme outlier with regards to a high rate of literacy compared to almost everywhere else during the 1600-1800s. Today is a different story, Massachusetts had a higher rate of literacy when education was made compulsory in the 19th century than it does currently, which is kind of astounding.

> Sheldon Richman quotes data showing that from 1650 to 1795, American male literacy climbed from 60 to 90 percent. Between 1800 and 1840 literacy in the North rose from 75 percent to between 91 and 97 percent. In the South the rate grew from about 55 percent to 81 percent. Richman also quotes evidence indicating that literacy in Massachusetts was 98 percent on the eve of legislated compulsion and is about 91 percent today.

I really want to like the more recent devices from Boox. The display tech is just about there with their "Super Refresh." It works well enough for most apps where you are scrolling. Problem is that the software is pretty buggy and can become randomly unresponsive to touch input, which can be pretty frustrating. This has been true on the Tab Ultra, the Tab Mini C, and the Palma 2.

Still, Boox tablets are the closest to what I've been looking for: an eInk device with enough flexibility that I can read more than just books on it.
So the 300A is an accelerator coupled with a full 24-core EPYC and 128GB of HBM all on a single chip (or, packaged chiplets, whatever).

Why is it I can't buy a single one of these, on a motherboard, in a workstation format case, to use as an insane workstation? Assuming you could program for the accelerator part, there is an entire world of x86-fixed CAD, engineering, and entertainment industry (rendering, etc) where people want a single, desktop machine with 128GB + of fast ram to number crunch.

There are Blender artists out there that build dual and quad RTX4090 machines with Threadrippers for $20k+ in components all day, because their render jobs pay for it.

There are engineering companies that would not bat an eye at dropping $30k on a workstation if it mean they could spin around 80 gigabyte CATIA models of cars or aircraft loaded in RAM quicker. I know this at least because I sure as hell did with with several HP Z-series machines costing whole-Toyota-Corolla prices over the years...

But these combined APU chips are relegated to these server units. In the end is this a driver problem? Just a software problem? A chicken and egg problem where no one is developing the support because there isn't the hardware on the market, and there isn't the hardware on the market because AMD thinks there is no use case?

Edit: and note my use cases mentioned don't rely on latency, really, like videogamers need to hit framerates. The cache miss latency mentioned in the article doesn't matter as much for these type of compute applications where the main problems are just loading and unloading the massive amount of data. Things like offline renders and post-processing CFD simulations. Not necessarily a video output framerate.

Yeah, starting around age four, all of my kids became prolific artists, going through dozens of sheets of paper per day. With our oldest kid, we tried hanging them up on the wall, but it quickly ended up covering every inch of a long hallway. Now, to keep our house from overflowing, I just photograph[1] all the drawings every night and recycle them (see my other comment about personally using the back sides of some for my own notes).

[1] After four kids, I've fallen behind on sorting through the photos, but we have albums for the artwork that each of them has made. It's pretty cool to see it all in one place, and how their work has become more sophisticated over time.

This is what you asked:

> When values are in conflict, which should win? In the hierarchy of values, where does economic world position stand in terms of national concerns?

The answer is simple: when economic world position is in conflict with the value of freedom of speech, then freedom of speech wins.

If you disagree you can go amend the Constitution accordingly.
Exactly- this is based on how it alters urine pH, and there is a whole alternative medicine thing around assuming this is extremely important- but the entire idea seems unconvincing to me.

> The cleanup cost was $1B which is negligible.

“1 billion dollars” is not negligible when your company is paying it either directly or through insurance. They also lost a nuclear reactor (~$2.5 billion in 2018 dollars to build - depreciation) and lost revenue, so they were out far more than just 1B.

Worse this isn’t a one off event, every single nuclear reactor was facing the same issue.

Just from a pure economic perspective if someone says you need to spend say 20-30 m/year to avoid losing your nuclear power plant and paying 1B on top of this your going to do some internal calculations and figure out how much maintenance is worth 1B dollars and frankly it’s a lot of maintenance. But now every single nuclear reactor is now paying more every year on maintenance forever. The industry just got more expensive seemingly from thin air thus 3 mile island cost the nuclear industry a lot more than just what was spent on the island.

Worse the same thing happens after basically every expensive incident. Almost never does the industry look at an expensive accident and say well that’s just the cost of doing business we don’t need to change anything. Which then means every year it just keeps getting more expensive.

If reflux is the issue follow these tips:

1) Don't drink while eating or exercising, drink 30min before or 2 hours later.

2) Don't lay on your belly while sitting, use your back to support your upper body.

3) Drink just as much water as your body asks, but not more.

4) Right before going to bed, don't drink and try using the bathroom.

> You could give equity to those who contribute.

Once challenge with equity is that equity is the thing that is left over after you've distributed income and benefits. I've seen so many startups (some up-close) where those in charge are not working for equity, they are extracting all the value in the form of benefits and salary/bonus. The equity then ends up just a carrot for those at the bottom being leveraged to keep the cycle going.

Other misaligned incentives I've seen is company management paying low salaries but having a host of family/friends placed into figurehead wishy-washy roles in the company (again, extracting value misaligned with employees.)

I've also seen doctors practices where the doctor owns the facility and extracts above-market rents from the practice, leaving less for workers.

Once a company is in hyper-growth it is easier to find well-aligned incentives. However, before that, you really dont know unless you can see the salary/benefits of everyone (which obviously doesnt typically happen.)
The US constitution will absolutely permit war as a response to trade conflict. The US has already gone to war for such reasons with smaller countries.

We were speaking on the value of speech. What values should prompt us to send youths to die abroad? What does the constitution say about the hierarchy of values here? I'm just asking for a framework for determining which values are superior under conflict.
Even then, that's just an opinion that everyone shares. Objectivity isn't when everyone's subjective experiences align—it's when something exists independent of any subjective experience. If there were no humans at all, "beauty" would be meaningless. It's an inherently subjective property which humans ascribe to objects. Conversely, the Earth would still orbit the Sun, because gravity is objective.
