I know a lot of sales[wo]men.

They can make a lot of money, but often, their base salary is 0.

It's about the hustle. Founders are like that. When times are tough, they don't get squat, but when times are good, they get a new indoor swimming pool.

Most regular employees aren't like the above. They want some basic assurances. They don't get the huge rewards, but they also don't take the huge risks.

It's rather disappointing to see founders treat regular schlubs with disdain. Not everyone is a hustler, and that's OK.
Well, at your suggestion I did ask ChatGPT, and it pointed to one sort of magic trick: currency swaps between central banks. That is (kind of) a machine where one type of money goes in one side and the other type comes out the other. There's even a cool tracker [1].

But yeah, it's mostly just market forces that keep things stabilized, it seems.

> having access to Wikipedia felt like the greatest equalizer in the world. 20 years post internet, seeing the most common outcome be that people learn less

when wikipedia was initially made, many schools/teachers explicitly denied wikipedia as a source for citing in essays. And obviously, plenty of kids just plagerized wikipedia articles for their essay topics (and was easily discovered at the time).

With the advent of LLM, this sort of pseudo-learning is going to be more and more common. The unsupervised tests (like online tests, or take home assignments) cannot prevent cheating. The end result is that students would pass, but without _actually_ learning the material at all.

I personally think that perhaps the issue is not with the students, but with the student's requirement for certification post-school. Those who are genuinely interested would be able to leverage LLM to the maximum for their benefit, not just to cheat a test.

Nix channels (and NIX_PATH) break reproducibility. Pinning revisions makes things more robust; my preferred approach is to use default function arguments, so they're easy to override (useful when composing lots of things together).

You and the parent poster are talking past each other. They asked:

> Why would there a VAT on, say, domestically produced pasta on the grocery shelf, while the Italian import pasta right next to it has none?

You answer (correctly) that that isn't the case, both boxes of pasta have the same VAT applied to it.

In light of this, I think people are really struggling to understand what you're arguing for or against here. The whole subthread started by someone pointing out that the 10%-for-everyone version of trump's tarrifs is very different from European VAT, since European VAT applies to all products sold to consumers, regardless of whether they are imported or not. That is, indeed, a vital difference. You seem to argue that it's not the case, while giving examples of how it is the case, leaving everyone confused.
> Why does the market like this?

It doesn't; S&P500 is now at like 5400 vs nearly 6200 a couple of months ago. It's just that it is clearly not _as_ bad as it was earlier in the week.

And honestly you'd wonder how much this is being held up by confused retail traders; looking at WSB, say, many of them seem to think that tariffs are back where they were a few weeks ago (they're not; the 10% thing is staying, and of course there's China).
Yes this basically why we used Bootstrap. The components and patterns UX wanted to use were a close match for Bootstrap's components, aside from colors, fonts, etc which we then adjusted.

I hate to say this, but this is quite common in Italy for smaller businesses (and most businesses in Italy are small). They have become accustomed to their courts being slow so that this is a negotiation tactic you often hear. A shame on such a nice country...

I agree entirely on your take regarding education. I feel like there is a place where LLMs are useful but doesn't impact learning but it's definitely not in the "discovery" phase of learning.

However I really don't need to implement some weird algorithms myself every time (ideally I am using a well tested Library) but the point is that you learn to be able to but also to be able to modify or compose the algorithm in ways the LLM couldn't easily do.

Don't see much imposition in Japan and this year will mark ten years living here. People who can't or won't assimilate quickly find themselves living on another plane of existence and eventually leave. Language plays a big part with that too.

That section is talking about risk — saying that they're now producing a lot more research around novel engines than the US. It's not saying that their own engines are ahead yet, just that risk is high given current progress.

(and they are now producing their own engines, as seen on their new fighters, though they aren't believed to be ahead yet.)

They do lead in many areas now. They have a lot of engineers, hands-on manufacturing heft at scale (inc. a lot of internal competition), and a government that has been pumping and subsidising physical industries for many years.
That sounds like something that should not apply to your hobby.

Not so much Check-cashing (although they do exist in some parts of larger cities) and I haven't seen a pawn-shop outside of London in ... forever.

We do have Vapeshops (before that 'Legal High' shops) but apart from those Charity Shops you get a lot of 'Gambling' (aka 'High Street Bookies') chains in those areas where the footfall has gone away to the out of town supermarkets or where the landlords are sitting on what they hope will get turned into flats so they can make a profit.

What I would say regarding Oxfam, at least in the area I live is that the book selection is suprisingly good, both in Oxford and Chipping Norton's where the second hand book selection has given me some great reads and I have seen them refuse the 'Celeb/Sports star' biogs and bundles of Harry Potter cast offs from people while waiting to be served.

Yes, but those developing for Apple OSes would have adopted whatever OS Apple used.

The developer who pick it because it is a Unix are people who developer for Unix like OSes, mostly for servers, so they mostly do not produce software that drives adoption by people who are not developers.

Just four hours before the U.S. administration announcement, posts here were already calling the surge in U.S. bond yields a "non-event." ( and being flagged..)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43630672

It was indeed about T-bills. Something Trump probably doesn't even know what it is. There’s no strategy, no objective, just sheer, unfiltered incompetence.

The stock market’s reprieve will be short-lived. In just eight days, this administration erased $5 trillion in market value, insulted its primary trading partner using language deeply offensive in Asian cultures, and made it clear to investors that it has zero credibility.

Futures are already negative, which is exactly what you'd expect. The market is responding. And let’s be honest: the claim about 75 countries eager to negotiate is a pure lie. The EU has publicly stated the U.S. administration was not even returning their calls.
Thanks for bringing that up. Regarding the NaN canonicalization, there is a flag for it in wasmtime [1], I should probably make sure it is turned on.

Although I don't expect to be an issue practically speaking, Obelisk checks that the replay is deterministic and fails the workflow when an unexpected event is triggered. It should be also be possible to add an automatic replay of each finished execution to verify the determinism e.g. while testing.

And we have been producing enough to feed and house everyone for about 40 years now. Henry Ford introduced 5 day workweek and with the productivity trend we should be working one day a week by now.

It is not happening because in eyes of capitalism a person is only valuable and accepted if they have an occupation that produce value, whether needed or not.

Consequence of that, 50% of workforce is “bullshit jobs” made to keep people employed, like marketing, finance and such.

Because people sadly are brainwashed to be working from cradle to grave, it will take few generations for UBI to become unconditional and part of life, like we have with free healthcare (not you, U.S.).

Same thing, although in my career as an electrician: sidework realtor had both me and a random plumber (i.e. unrelated to me) out to make repairs on her properties. End of day arrives, my work is completed.

Realtor: "I will pay you when the plumber is done with that bathroom."

Me: "But I am done in that bathroom [installed GFCI outlet], so here is your total for electric work."

Realtor: [feigned?] "I thought the estimate you gave me was for ALL the work, electric AND plumbing..!"

Me: "That doesn't make any sense — you called me for electric work, and this other guy for plumbing work."

Realtor: "That seems unfair."

Me: "Cool well here's the total [again]; if you don't want to pay it I can just throw a lien on the property and mess up the entire sale."

Realtor: [writes me a check, sourpuss] "I guess that makes sense."

She actually called me again for work, but I was never ~hurtin~for~honest~clients... so I declined.
If you cant live your best life without kids, generally, I dont think having kids will be better for anyone involved.
Thinking of tariffs as a _sales_ tax, while it seems to be quite popular on this 'ere orange website, is both incorrect and very dangerous. Sales taxes, generally, are paid by the final consumer. Tariffs are paid at point of importation. This makes a big difference; if your factory makes, say, computers, sales tax impacts the (consumer) cost of the computer, but tariffs impact the cost of _all of your imported components_.

I don't know why I should want a child. I don't know what I would do with it, and I don't want to spend my money and time on it. I suppose it's something you either have or don't and I don't. I wonder if, in the past, many felt like me, but they were forced to have children because of peer pressure. As that peer pressure disappears, fewer and fewer people will have children.

That's the holy grail, my friend. Whoever succeeds will be the successor of 90s Microsoft (OS) and 00's Google (Internet/Search) in creating a unified platform which your grandmother associates as being "the computer".

Some have the Hardware (Apple) but lack the software execution, others have the software (OpenAI) but lack the Hardware.
