The way we do this with AWS SDK in rust is by leveraging #non_exhaustive, and matching the (_@other) pattern, this is forward compatible and allows us to do something like ( _@other) if other.name() == “foo” for known cases without upgrading down the road or if the user uses an older version than our API.
Tech as an investment has been doing well, and that's what he is talking about. The labor market is something else. I expect a tech crash eventually that will nuke the stock market, but good luck predicting it.
I think it can be both, a strategy but also an emerging property of social media. In "In the Swarm" he talks exactly about the outrage-driven engagement when calling it out as "shitstorm":

> "The shitstorm," writes Han, "represents an authentic phenomenon of digital communication."

This phenomenon, he states, is also a cause for the lack of proper politicking in the era of digital communication, since everyone can participate in a fleeting "shitstorm" there's no lingering narrative to keep the discourse on, internalise it, and enact change; people just move from shitstorm to shitstorm, each outrage is very ephemeral, and shit-flinging cannot enact any change or deeper discourse about the root causes that caused said shitstorm. Again, information is just additive and leaves no space for closing back on itself in a more general concept to be discussed about.

The "flood the zone" strategy seems to just attach itself to this quality of digital communication, using the ephemeral, narrativeless information to continuously drive an agenda, moving our attention into an ethereal moving target, we never get any sense of closure.

> "Meanwhile, the public, the senders and receivers of these communications have become a digital swarm -- not a mass, or a crowd, or Negri and Hardt's antiquated notion of a "multitude," but a set of isolated individuals incapable of forming a "we," incapable of calling dominant power relations into question, incapable of formulating a future because of an obsession with the present. The digital swarm is a fragmented entity that can focus on individual persons only in order to make them an object of scandal.
> the wealth is unequal, sure

Do you really understand just how unequal it is? Most Americans vastly underestimate it [0]. And that's from 2013; inequality has rapidly worsened since. Do you understand the effects of that inequality?

> look at how much better the human quality of life is compared to even 50 years ago.

I don't think this is true.

There is quality of life in owning a house, a family house. There is quality of life in having job security. There is quality of life in feeling safe letting your kids go outside in an urban environment. There is quality of life in not having record proportions of your populace behind bars. There is quality of life in being able to weather illness without filing for medical bankruptcy. There is quality of life in being able to support a family with an average wage. Etc.

The book "The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century" by Walter Scheidel makes a similar argument:

> Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world.

This study is for a very specific region: East Africa (Kenia and Tanzania). Their main problems are too much evaporation, no energy sources, no other sources of food.

I don't see how a solution that might work for a good share of humanity (Africa is huge: Kenya and Tanzania alone have 150 million people) gets dismissed as "limited to orchards" because it can't be used for industrial scale corn crops in my country.

Disclaimer: I wrote and maintain a MessagePack implementation.

Hey that's me!

Yeah they fixed that, but there's other parts of the spec that are basically unworkable like indefinite length values, "canonicalization", and tags, making it essentially MP (MP does have extension types, I should say, the virtue of tossing out CBOR's tags is you then don't have to implement things like datetimes/timezones, bignums, etc), and indeed at least FIDO tosses this all out: https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-ps-20190130/fido-cl...

Beyond that, CBOR is MessagePack. The story is that Carsten Bormann wanted to create an IETF standardized MP version, the creators asked him not to (after he acted in pretty bad faith), he forked off a version, added the aforementioned ill-advised tweaks, named it after himself, and submitted it anyway. All this design by committee stuff is mostly wrong--though IETF has modified it by committee since.

There's no reason an MP implementation has to be slower than a CBOR implementation. If a given library wanted to be very fast it could be. If anything, the fact that CBOR more or less requires you to allocate should put a ceiling on how fast it can really be. Or, put another way, benchmarks of dynamic language implementations of a serialization format aren't a high signal indication of its speed ceiling. If you use a dynamic language and speed is a concern to this degree, you'd write an adapter yourself, probably building on one of the low level implementations.

That said, people are usually disappointed by MP's speed over JSON. A lot of engineering hours have gone into making JSON fast, to the point where I don't think it ever made sense to choose MP over it for speed reasons (there are other good reasons). Other posters here have pointed out that your metrics are usually dominated by something else.

But finally, CBOR is fine! The implementations are good and it's widely used. Users of CBOR and MP alike will probably have very similar experiences unless you have a niche use case (on an embedded device that can't allocate, you really need bignums, etc).
Higher top marginal income tax rate (was much higher in the 50s, 60s, 70s). Higher capital gains tax.

And then use the income from that to distribute wealth through things like single payer health care, affordable housing etc. So the basic needed expenses don't take up such a large portion of the budget for middle income households.

Also: stronger unions.
Approximately 3-4 kW per capita is required to approximate medium European lifestyle. A bit could be optimized, but not all that much.

...which ends up not being very different at all to communism in this regard. Your billionaires become your central planners. Except they're not even trying to make good decisions for other people in most cases.

Now, granted, power in western democracies in 2025 is less centralised than it was in soviet Russia, but it's a hell of a lot more centralised than it was in the 70s and 80s. And currently it's only getting worse.

> Instead he put the losses on top of the public debt, became the leader of the new nation and enjoyed no longer having to pay taxes to the British for the economic output of his slaves.

That’s a rather skewed take. You might see what Washington himself said about becoming that leader.

https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/spotlight-pr...

George Washington wasn’t a signer of the Declaration of Independence either, so this idea that he concocted the revolution for personal gain is silly. He was appointed to lead the Continental Army by John Adams because of Washington’s military experience and his being from Virginia which was an asset in unifying the colonies.
> The US, while hardly benign, have not orchestrated multiples of "largest attack in history"

You must be using a very personal interpretation of what "largest attack in history" is.

The US is literally the owner and operator of the largest surveillance and intelligence collecting apparatus in the history of mankind. I bundle in here all kinds of legal and illegal surveillance, interceptions, hacking, etc. directly state run, or leveraging other intelligence agencies, or leveraging the largest private data collectors in the world which are mostly US companies. It was already proven by the Snowden leaks, it's absolutely reasonable to assume this apparatus only grew stronger.

If that's not a never ending "largest attack" on everyone in the world I don't know what is.
By that logic we should surrender because Russia has nukes and say they are willing to use them.

Or we should develop secret nuke capabilities and launch a first strike.

It's pretty impressive to me that something of Flow's quality could be created with free software that's avilable to anyone with an internet connection. There are a lot of highly creative people out in the world without massive amounts of money for expensive hardware/software. It's exciting for the future of animation, and I hope all the news stories talking about Flow being made with Blender will inspire more people to give it a try and see what they can do with it.

The heir question is goalpost moving; it has no bearing.

Whether things may get better for the poor or may not isn’t so much the point as I see it. The observation here is that the poor, and their anger, become pawns for the games of elites. Sometimes those games benefit them where an elite acts as a benevolent avatar of their anger, but this is usually a transient faux-alliance because the elite calls the shots and has no genuine interest in a positive outcome for the poor they claim to represent.

Same conflation already happened upthread. Classic Sapir-Whorf stuff (rejected as that linguistic hypothesis might be.) Imagine trying to do philosophy in English, a language where blunt treachery passes for subtlety, and the normative complexity threshold is so pathetically low!

The phrase "artificial intelligence production" (as seen here https://etscrivner.github.io/cryptocurrent/#_footnotedef_22 - courtesy of https://retrochronic.com/#introduction - and Land's source [IS (has picture of)] a guy in a suit and tie and not presumably on speed! rejoice!) can mean either "production of artificial intelligence" or "artificial production of intelligence".

But it's very difficult to consistently point out the distinction between the two. Not without overloading the sentence up to the point of people starting to say things like "Mumbo Jumbo, go away, we are good and u r ghey!"

So, I'd rather describe that distinction as power fucking points:

- "evolution" [IS (the autopoiesis of)] "intelligence"

- "capitalism" [IS (the autopoiesis of)] "artificial intelligence"

All things considered, the notion of "intelligence" is itself pretty artificial. But I reckon yall are too intelligent to be ready for that conversation just yet. Give 'em time.

Some rubber ages very well indeed. Some doesn't.

"Rubber" means lots of different plastics, some of which are very stable and some of which are very unstable. Some are natural; others are synthetic. All they have in common is that they are soft and very elastic—if even that, since sometimes ebonite is called a rubber as well, comprised as it is in large part of natural latex rubber.

Silicone rubbers in particular are extremely stable.

Think what your priorities were when you were 15, 20, 25, 30 and so on. Personally for me, my priorities have been different at each stage. As I got older, I had more things to lose, loved ones to think about, deeper connections and etc., which made me more mindful while making specific decisions. I’m not saying that at the age of 30 (current global median age), every one of the same age think the same way. But it is different than what one would think at the age of 20.

I’m sorry, I don’t know how old you are, but I’m sure if you look back, you can think of examples in your own life too. But again, it’s just a stupid thought that I live with, and try not to compare current affairs to something in the past for that reason.
> I just find your position that btrees are optimised for every query structure

But that is not my position! Postgres has many index access methods: hash, btree, brin, gin, gist, and there are extensions for rum, bloom, skipscans, geospatial indexes such as sp-gist, & vector indexes like ivf/hnws (see pgvector.) I mean, as far as graph databases are concerned, besides pgRouting, there's also Apache AGE which is a graph-"optimised" Postgres.

You should learn more about Postgres and databases in general. See comment above. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43203833 which is closely related to the argument I am actually making.
As someone who has written multiple OBJ readers over the years, this is interesting, but noteably seems to be ignoring texture coords (UV coords), and doesn't support object groups.

Also obj material support is an absolute nightmare if you ever try and support that: there's technically a sort of original standard (made around 30 years ago, so understandably somewhat messy given how far materials and physically-based shading has come in the mean time), but different DCCs do vastly different things, especially for things like texture paths and things like specular/roughness...

> Hell, there are companies and families who supported the third Reich openly.

> They were rich before world war 2, they were rich after and they are still rich today.

Yes, these families exist. But there is an equal amount of them that went to the poorhouse that you don't know about. Many German Nazis that got wealthy through stealing/grafting of Jewish businesses _did_ lose their assets. Others still stayed somewhat wealthy but are now just barely millionaires.

It's very easy to get fooled by survivorship bias, since it's only the companies and people that are still wealthy that get heavily covered. I don't think a publisher would accept a book like Nazi Billionaires about all the people that are no longer relevant at all.

edit: I have to say, I also think it's terrible that so many people could just go on like nothing happened. Doubly so for the bureaucracy, diplomats and judges -- both in Germany and the Axis collaborators.

But this is how the world goes. The only people punished for the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward or the Gulags were those caught up in internal purges.
