Capitalism isn't inherently bad. It works well with respect.

But in this day and age capitalism has gotten so rootless that nothing is done when the power in question abuses their power. There is no respect in today’s capitalism, upgrade respect and you'll have upgraded capitalism. we only go to war because of lack of respect.

Turn the page of the plastic age. I'm now rate limited so that's my digital protesting done for today. Not that anyone has taken side and protested with but would rather point how my ideology is wrong and not contributing to what they would do. But I'm sure you'll be buying your pickets off amazon and walking around town with them only to be tossed aside after the rally this Saturday for them to do something comfy either whether it being Netflix, gaming or porn.

But that's okay it's why I do litter picking out of civil respect; not enough. That way I can pick up the crap that people think they are fighting for as my power of fighting back. When you do go for a smoke, throw the butt on the street, spit on the pavement I'll be there scrubbing that too. Where's the respect? But, hey. People suck we know this. Companies suck more.

Can you threaten class-action lawsuits? If so: Donald, Elon, Jeff, America, UK, Israel, Russia, Microsoft, Google, Apple; you name it. If $entity has treated the world with hurt, you have no respect. Is that what you want to hear? Because that's true capitalism.

Sugar coated? Close your eyes and turn on the TV; especially the news. Pick a side and enjoy the slaughter. You'll be dead soon.

What? No, the purpose of having a separate executive is separation of powers and checks and balances.

Once you’ve learned to write, you can write with a pen between your toes (crudely because of a lack of fine motor control), with a chisel in wood, with a spray can, men can write while peeing into snow, etc.

> As an easy example, just counting beats is clearly just counting.

Agreed.

> Yet counting beats and aligning transitions/changes on or off a beat is a skill you have to work on.

But that’s not just counting, is it? It’s counting _and_ aligning transitions/changes on or off a beat, so it requires detecting transitions/changes while counting.

He taught a two-year introductory physics course at Caltech from 1961 to 1964, which gives him some experience with the matter though. He was known as "The Great Explainer", due to his ability to help people understand and more importantly, be inspired by science and the world around them*. His materials from those lectures were converted into "The Feynman Lectures on Physics",
a highly regarded physics textbook. so I wouldn't have chosen education as my example.

In support of 793 however, he didn't do well with bureaucracy so I'd not listen to his advice on how to run something that favored rigorous rule following even when the rules don't make sense**.

I think rejecting code in his area is his right as a maintainer of this area (to the extend this is the case, I haven't checked). Also the patch adds a file kernel/dma.rs so I am confused about your comment. I also happen to agree that maintaining multi-language code is a pain and I understand that he does not want this imposed on him. This may make it harder for Rust kernel developers, but I can not see how this is "sabotage of the project".

About the first one, the story goes like someone stopped the wave of flood holding the holy book in hand. Flood had already taken those buildings partially but it stopped and went back. That's how the story goes about this. I might be misremembering some parts though.
It builds a numeric intuition. When you repeat something enough, it begins to do itself - you gain a subconscious mastery. Think about yourself as you read these words. Imagine if you were looking at the letters and actually trying to sound out each word, consciously thinking about each words meaning, and then finally trying to piece together the meaning. You'd spend 5 minutes reading a sentence or two, and oh God help yo if tere ws a tpyo. Instead it all just flows without you even thinking about it, even when completely butchered.

And that sort of flow is, I think, obtainable for most of anything. But 100% for certain for numbers. Somebody who doesn't gain an intuitive understanding of basic arithmetic will have an extremely uncomfortable relationship with any sort of math, which mostly just means they'll avoid it at all costs, but you can't really. I don't even mean STEM careers, but everything from cooking (especially baking) to construction and generally an overwhelming majority of careers make heavy use of mathematical intuition in ways you might not consider, especially if you're already on good terms with numbers.
Great article. Zip codes can be super expedient. But you have to be self aware that for many uses cases they function WORSE than a random grid. Because they have built-in aggregation of a central post office(and surrounding) with a certain radius of rural/less dense surrounding.

So for example, if you are sorting “rural zips” vs “urban zips” it will only take you so far, and may actually be harmful.

Same goes with MSAs/DMAs (media markets). These have to be used for buying media, but for geospatial analysis they are suboptimal for the same reasons.

> “Do we need to hire everybody in San Francisco?” Millham, who is stepping down from the exec role, reportedly said. “Or can we think about other locations that are cheaper where we can get really incredible labor like India and Mexico City.”

Why does he feel that you can only get cheap incredible labor from outside the US? You can get incredible talent in the southern and midwest US for much less than SF prices, and probably find people who understand your mission and culture better. I guess a place like Cleveland isn't exotic enough for SF executives that market their B2B SaaS software around hiking.

> The reason there was no political will to punish Airbnb and Uber for violating the law was that initially they were subsidized with VC money and so were able to undercut traditional hotels and taxis on price.

That's just a trope. They were initially losing money because they had high fixed costs (developing a platform, spending enough on advertising to get a critical mass of people using it), which are long-term investments. If you only spread the cost of the long-term investment over the short-term sales, they were "losing money" in the early years, but that's how all long-term investments work.

Dumping is when you sell below the unit cost, e.g. paying drivers more than you charge customers, which isn't what they were doing in general. And as long as they weren't doing that, the incumbents could have responded by lowering their own prices (and therefore margins) without themselves losing money on each sale, which is competition working as intended. Unless the competition is too hidebound to accept a reduction in profits in order to stay competitive or otherwise insists on using a less efficient method of operating, in which case they go under.
> As far as I know, there is no way to actually force a C++ class to be heap allocated.

Why is that a useful purpose? It's not like we're sitting in a room together, and there's a lull in the conversation, an uncomfortable silence. There's no inherent reason why HN threads need to continue indefinitely.

> part of my hope is that the other people will consider the devil's argument and come up with an interesting reply I hadn't considered before

If you're looking for help or education, then just explicitly ask for that. The phrase "Devil's advocate" doesn't give the impression of intellectual modesty.

> Honest question: Does it bother you that somebody might be interested in and want to explore oppositional perspectives, without holding those perspectives themselves?

That doesn't bother me - a personal, private exercise, anyway. What does bother me is insincerity and duplicity. I think that people should be open and honest about what they believe and what they don't believe; IMO the phrase "Devil's advocate" is obscurantist at best.

Yeah I mean the salad example is great because in that case it feels ridiculous to have to look at ads.

Maybe we don’t need to protect websites that rely on advertised content? Maybe it makes a better internet?

Based on what you’re saying here it sounds like good content will inevitably go behind paywalls in this case, and the number of paid subs people need to have will only continue to explode. Aka no free internet. Maybe that was bound to happen one way or another.

And all LLM providers will pay their data providers directly by API or something?

original internet (DARPA) was meant for communicating research and science. Maybe we return to that being the primary thing that will continue to be free?
> Slick

Totally agreed, Slick is definitely not a good way to access the database. It massively over complicates things and was a massive oil spill that destroyed the maintainability of many codebases. But that's not really Play, specifically, just a library that lots of people used with Play. I personally was always more a fan of https://scalikejdbc.org/, if not just plain JDBC

> It was in state of semi-abandonment for several years

Yes, this is my main complaint. I remember on the front page for like 5 years after TypeSafe Activator had been totally removed from the internet, the Play website was still showing Activator commands. To this day, the Play site still hasn't removed their line about how they support CoffeeScript and Less.

> Guice (in 2.4 afaik) was a terrible mistake, completely unnecessary and at odds with the Scala philosophy
> Play-JSON depends on Jackson
> Standard library Futures are not so nice

Well, it turned out that the Scala Philosophy wasn't the be-all and end-all anyways, and was always changing (at some point DSL's were in, then they were out. The way people encode TypeClasses changed over the years, selectDynamic/applyDynamic were in and then they were out, symbols were everywhere and then deprecated, implicit conversions were in and then "best practice" switched to Converters) and there was always at least 2 camps who had very different philosophies. Guice is probably the most popular DI tool in the JVM world so seems to make sense to use it.

The Jackson dependency and Scala Future's shortcomings might be annoying to many, but I don't think they really hindered adoption. Even in your case, what happened? At your company they're ripping out Play and replacing it with Spring, which uses DI very similar to Guice, probably depending on Jackson, and using java Futures (if they're doing async at all).

Is that, essentially, what the article is looking at?

My curiosity is that this is my prior. The article is clearly framed in the opposite direction. Am I just putting too much emphasis on the headline?
Of course. Does the article mention them? My point stands, considering that Toyota doesn't sell many of those either. I recall during COVID RAV 4 Primes were going for like $100k because they were in such short supply.

I have found that most people who know about Toyota's vehicles are not aware of their PHEVs, so doubt that most people in this survey were thinking of them.
It seems like their goal is to have a fully featured open source ecosystem that Core Devices (Eric's new company) builds hardware for. I don't think he's made any commitment on open source HW but you could sell your own pebbleOS devices if you wanted to (with maybe some effort required for radios or sensors that they can't legally open source code for).

Obviously he stands to benefit from the free labor, but the only reason the project makes any sense to start with is because of how many passionate hackers have kept the Pebble devices and community going. If they want to dedicate more free effort in exchange for the opportunity to buy hardware built this decade then it feels pretty fair to me.

Okay, they would be smaller, but you said "big corporations should not be able to exist" and they would already be a big corporation with just search--they started this way.

Or, just to follow it through, let's say "WidgetBoss LLC" makes a new Widget that every single human has to have, they become the biggest company ever by making one widget. What will you do to make them smaller? Why?

I have a big problem with Google & Meta, and I can understand arguments about those companies. But not just "big companies" as a generality.

I like analogy's like this. Not in love with this specific one. It feels like OP thought of the first two hats and then tried to think up other hats, rather than have the nebulas idea of different ways of working and structured the analogy around it.

Analogies should "simplify" not complicate. If you're ever writing an analogy and think "How can I add more meat to this? You know, enough to make it worth sharing in a blog post?" you're on the wrong path.

This really has nothing to do with pedagogy and everything to do with the difference between calculations and mathematics. It's similar to the split between science and engineering.

In engineering, you're applying rules of thumb to get some desired outcome. Those rules of thumb may be based on math or science, but they could also be practices that have worked before. You don't have to understand why the rules of thumb work to apply them, although it is helpful, if you do.

What those kids are doing is something similar in the world of math. They have a desired outcome -- getting the correct answer, and they have a memorized list of "tricks" that get them to the correct answer quickly. They may or may not know why they work, only that they do.

None of that is really helpful for learning math in a school setting, which is not just about getting the correct answer, but about understanding why the answer is correct, and understanding why those various rules work or don't work. They don't usually even teach mental math tricks in schools because the point isn't being able to calculate quickly. Probably having a catalog of addition tricks makes it even harder to learn basic school arithmetic because you have to ignore what you already know to work back up from first principles.

Indeed, I realized it's hard to compete with PhD students for grants, and subsidising my work with content marketing does not fit my style, and I prefer owning my work and choosing my own research direction. I also want people to use my work, and create solutions that are cost-effective.

So the most logical way was to bootstrap an AI start-up in the area I'm interested, so that's what I'm doing. Unfortunately, it's hard to publish or contribute to open-source, since it becomes too easy to copy, which cuts my margins and ability to fund my research and compute.

Now I spend most of my days doing AI research, and outsource most other parts, really enjoying it :)
