George W. Bush and Barack Obama both use flying robots with missiles to hunt down and kill people they don't like.

This is a very good point. It's always good to be reminded that we're already living in the future.

That said, I feel like aothman is discussing real artificial intelligence, that is, an entity capable of making a conscious decision that it wants to, in this case, fire the missiles. If I had to guess, if predator drones gain the ability to "decide" for themselves whether or not to fire their missiles, it will be built on a system of complex rules, and not because they're "intelligent". Potayto, Potahto? Maybe. I'm not an AI researcher and I don't even come close to understanding human intelligence, but I feel like even if it is just a complex system of rules, it's at a much deeper level than we'll be able to simulate soon.
Another tip for a physical notebook: starting from the back, keep a running table of contents referring to notes pages or dates. Log really important stuff, or everything, according to taste.
There are some quite familiar terms that used to be trademarks, though: cellophane, dry ice, trampoline, escalator. As usual, Wikipedia has a list:

Yes, as far as I know IRC is the best option. But I need to put a web interface on it. Also IRC documentation use a "jargon" and there is no "modern" documentation.
It is easy to interface with IRC.
Isn't it implicit?

The fun thing is that there are approaches that want to go beyond this kind of methodological description of a scientific process to code [0, 1]. In general I would say that the more we can remove the human aspect and inherent ambiguity of science, the better for reproducibility. See [2] for a couple of examples.

There's a video floating around where the police literary opened the barricades.
Great story! Not a huge surprise when you think about it - you made up the the third design just after thinking through the other two in detail.
> and it reconstructs how the program worked on that day.

It reconstructs how the fully updated version of everything worked that day which isn't necessarily the same as the researcher's environment. It's a horrible idea to use dates instead of package versions for this. The author's library doesn't solve the problem it claims to solve.
This is probably too late if you have already invested into getting peloton bike, but at that price and considering you don't use classes, I'd rather get decent entry-level road bike and a turbo trainer. So I could train on Zwift, which is 20$ and imo is more fun freeriding experience. And then for data, connect Zwift with Strava so all of it would get uploaded there for tracking the progress.

Sorry, this kind of turned into rant/preaching, I'm just biased against Peloton
>because it's obviously wrong... //

Are you trying to say it's morally wrong to read data made publicly available through a site's API? I think that's a stretch. Clearly there are very obviously malevolent things you could do with data acquired with such queries, but just iterating on a URL query string seems pretty far from an obvious moral wrong.

Legally questionable, for sure. Morally forthright, doubtful.

The wrong comes in using data nefariously, surely; not in merely observing it.
Could it be a statistical fluke? I'm very skeptical about reading too much into A/B results without variance/confidence interval estimates.
I shouldn't have downvoted this. I apologize for that. This is something you believe in.

Though, I think it's misguided. I think a lifetime of extreme suffering would be worth it, just for the rare moments when you feel truly blessed to be alive. In the hardest times of my own life, there's been a few memories that have pushed me forwards. One of them was walking outside of a friends house after a light rainstorm, and seeing a ray of sun shine through water dripping off of a plant.

It was just so simply beautiful. I saw a green sunset once. I saw the Perseid meteors on top of a mountain.

This is before getting into all the triumphs and creation and science and business and trade and conversations and coffee and learning and teaching I've done.

Life's magnificent. The suffering is a very worthwhile price to pay for it. Actually, I actively enjoy the suffering to some extent, because it makes me stronger and able to live more, live stronger, do more.

Heck, I wrote an entry called "Give Me Strife and Suffering (but in manageable doses)" on my blog if you're interested in an alternative perspective -

http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/?p=205

I reject the notion that suffering is a bad thing. It's bad if you don't know what you're suffering for. But suffering for worthy causes, for knowledge, for life, for creation, for art, for beauty, for things like that... I wouldn't trade it for the world. As my ability increases, I actively increase the amount of suffering I go through - to grow stronger, to do more, to be more, to serve more, to build more, to create more...

I don't know. Have a think on that. I like suffering for what I believe in, so long as I'm doing it in an intelligent way that forces me to grow. I think it's a worthy thing, and actively chase it... and I think this attitude has served me well and helped me do a lot of great things. Perhaps it's a worthwhile frame of mind to experiment with for a while? You don't have to believe it, just ask, "If I accepted suffering for worthy causes, and came to enjoy the suffering, how would I feel and act here?" Try it for a week or two? You could always ditch that perspective if it doesn't suit you well.
because the things we say online are more like thoughts in ones head than words spoken out loud.
For the Horde!!!
I actually tried to set that up once and ran into some kind of trouble. I don't remember what exactly. It was a while ago though so it's probably gotten considerably easier to do. But your right this isn't a solution for Grandma or even Mom at this point.
I am glad I have never had this problem. I really dont care about HN @ all and just use it as a resource to learn from the same as TC and a plethora of other websites. I enjoy making things so thats what I do and the same goes for my friends. If you enjoy studying startups more than launching products etc... then perhaps you should shift your career in that direction.
I can see why you're being downvoted though..
Steve, like many here, is one of those people who seems to be good at whatever he tries. So he finds himself caught between the worlds of science and humanities. No big surprise in a kingdom of hackers and painters.

Having met Steve both here and IRL, I have little doubt he'll be successful.

Best wishes, Steve, and keep us posted. I'm sure many of us here in similar situations are looking forward to learning something from your journey.
I see I might have just been mistaken about the process. I was lead to believe, from reading the title, that there was some court action that ruled that Assange be detained.

After reading the article I was more under the impression it was just a request for a subpoena from a lawyer.

After reading your comment I am under the impression that they are basically the same thing.
I fight against this all the time.

The bad thing is that I keep freeing up too much time and that can create its own problems.
"If one of my sons has the ability, drive, and desire to be a general or king, so be it. He’ll be learning lessons at age 5 that I started learning at age 19. When he’s 14, he’ll know much of what I knew at 24."

I wish so much that this could be true, but my kids have a funny way of deciding what they're going to know (and what they aren't), despite my best efforts in teaching them what I want them to know. This seems to count double for "life lessons". I have this awful feeling that this is the back side of the orbit of how clueless my parents seemed to me. They tried this exactly and what I should have known at 5, took me until I was 19 and felt self-discovered.

Best of luck with yours, Seb.
I started with reusing code, by copying BASIC out of books and magazines by hand, I'm sure many of us did, and I've definitely created new code a few times!
I use sorted sets quite heavily for timelines. And it's awesome.

One usecase I can't figure out, is storing/querying IP address ranges. Is there a natural way with Redis to check if a number is within a given range? (without storing every value and without multiple calls)
I could buy controlled isolation, though not via your arguments. However, he is also being kept in a tiny cell without a pillow or a blanket, and continuously observed. They are not only isolating him, they are trying to do him permanent psychological damage.

That's not isolation to protect the passing of information that's being malicious and vindictive.

This is an innocent man for heaven's sake.

No idea why they are higher ranked than the original GitHub issues.

Not to be too cynical about it, but who serves the ads on those sites?

If it's Google Ads, then I think you have your answer as to why they are higher ranked.
(Deuxfleurs administrative council member here:) Starting from a little association with 200€ in a cash box last year, we were indeed amazed to actually get this funding.

I strongly recommend NGI grants to any European citizen. Just look at the variety of profiles that NGI POINTER (one of the grant type) funded last year: https://pointer.ngi.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/NGI-POINTE...

They even finance individuals wanting to contribute to FOSS up to 50k€ for a year.

I wish that instead of expanding into proxying even more world traffic, they'd look at not actively protecting organised online abuse, death threats, etc. for a change. Fun tech, but a very irresponsible company.
So how do you avoid getting nerd-sniped when something really is just bad? There's an analogue of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle here; any of us could slap out some code in half an hour (no doubt many of us have, myself included) and then any of us could spend days or weeks trying to understand why we did it that way. Taking the time to understand bad software is, like up-front planning, one of those things that sounds worthy and wise, but I suspect it's actually a poor use of time on the whole.
I don't think the hacking argument will stand-up when you're up again the IRS for tax evasion.
They don't know they want it, till they know what it means. It means independence from central exchanges, it means the money in your savings account of .01% interest account can now be directly leveraged by loans on Aave, which return 5-9% interest.

From quickly glancing over this, it sounds like its set to have your dns lookups proxies by servers rethink dns maintains, and forwards on to 1.1.1.1. Did I misunderstand?

Can we set this to use another provider other than 1.1.1.?
Thanks. I see something here, but they don't tell about the reasons to choose the orbit - which doesn't come too close to the Moon and has a period of a week (so in case of an emergency on a Moon base..?). And why it's called near-rectilinear.

You also need to consider that the same car in different countries will be tailored to the local regulations in terms of safety equipment - which in India is quite lax. For example it only became a requirement in 2019 that cars are fitted with ABS and a driver airbag (passenger airbags are still optional):

It's a massive change. For many children, school is an escape from troubled and sometimes abusive home lives. It's a place where they feel safe, communicate with adults that care for them, talk to friends, get support and in many countries get a decent meal once a day.
In the past couple of years I started to use a heavier functional style for my code.

What I noticed is that any syntactical benefits of async/await has a lesser impact when most of your application logic lives in pure functions, since you greatly reduce the amount of code in async functions.

When I started using async/await in JS 4-5 years ago I thought: "How could we have lived without this for so long?". These days I don't care much about it.
The night I turned 18 I was drinking with Chick Corea.
It happened that in 1995 he had a classical music project involving some local orchestra musicians in Modena, Italy, where I was living at the time. One of the musicians was a friend of mine's brother who invited me to the dress rehearsal in a renaissance villa. Concert was good.

After the concert, I got introduced to him and he asked me if I liked it. Shortly after I was drinking with him and others, and I turned 18 right there.

I have started a forum because I feel like there is a gap to fill in the market. What gap? Between what and what? I have tried to answer this in the Welcome to the club and Please read before posting sections.

I am going to bring my close network to this new community. I have many doubts about its potential success. I am just in the action of doing it. Discourse provides a framework and out-of-the-box forum solution. It's really easy and it costs near zero to test the idea.

Any feedback or advice from HN would be amazing. I would be very grateful.

Peace
I mean there is stuff like https://stackoverflow.com/jobs and in South Africa we have offerzen.com which are not brilliant but they are much better than linkedin. So there are some for tech related jobs. Probably because they realized that tech people in general hate linkedin and don't really use it for getting jobs. So there was a market for a platform.

Whereas for other people linkedin already fills that space (crappily) and most people tend to just put up with it. I'd assume anyone who wants to disrupt the online job finding market now has to compete with microsoft. So any innovative idea they have for their platform will quickly be implemented in linkedin before they get any sort of traction. So no one bothers, and linkedin stays crap.
Yeah, I was offered a very nice job over there last year but the housing costs made it basically pointless. It felt like I’d be killing myself just to enrich Dutch landlords and the Dutch taxman. Such a shame.
It's written in GLSL which is a C like language for shaders designed to be executed on the GPU.

The 2D vector used for input is to represent pixel coordinates mapped from 0 to 1 or -1 to 1 on both axes.

The magic numbers are nothing special, they are just large numbers to make the result unpredictable for the given input.

The top level function is a fract which takes the fractional part of a number. So if the result of the inner computation is twisted enough it will be hard to trace it back to the original values. There are lots of variations for these one liners, most of the do a great job to produce noise.
The original title is "La guerre du feu" (The war of fire). The film is enjoyable and generally faithful to the book of Rosny l'aîné.

"La guerre du feu" was written more than a century ago, and the author was more interested in romance and adventure (and selling books) than in scientific accuracy. The film removes or softens the colonialist and dated perspective (tribes of inferior humans, fully domesticating mammoth, fighting for a woman...) and portrays the cooperation between tribes.

I thought that was a pretty interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
Arbitrary censorship of legal content for consenting adults is still utterly despicable, even when undertaken by private companies against content which is not associated with membership in a protected class.

It's still censorship, it's still paternalistic, it's still bias, and it's still wrong.

Imagine if the phone company denied you access to their privately owned towers because you criticized them on a phone call, or if gmail decided that you aren't allowed to email your own family members links to a certain domain name they deem unsavory or "inappropriate".

(The latter is already the case.)
At any one time there can be as many as 50,000 aircraft in the air. You'll probably need more than one stream to get the relevant action so you're looking at substantially more bandwidth than all the communications satellites currently in orbit would be able to provide (and you'd have to shut down all the other services they carry).

You're also going to have to take into account that aircraft are moving relative to the satellites so you'd need to have a way to keep the antennae aligned (phased arrays or actuated dishes or both depending on which end you're looking at).

The only 'plus' in the whole scheme compared to terrestrial stuff is that airplanes are physically a bit closer to the satellites.

And then you'd need double the bandwidth at the satellite ends for the downlinks (unless you want to store at the satellite and only downlink in case of a crash).

Crack this and money will flow your way in wide rivers.
That was for 2 speeches and a series of webinars.

In contrast, Seth Godin and Malcolm Gladwell command as much as $250k for a single speech. Oprah gets a rumored 7 figures.

If Seth Godin can legitimately command $250k for a single speech, I think Janet Yellen can easily command $800k for two speeches and a webinar series (which could actually be any number of episodes).
Given that he created the original proposal to create web technology in 1990 it's hardly surprising.
In which case, it wouldn't be done through a drop of blood, as Theranos advertised. It will be done through those undiscovered "magical" means (in the sufficiently advanced levels of technology are akin to magic manner of speaking) that currently elude our understanding both technical and theoretical.
we absolutely have other metrics. Features, Stories, Ease-of-use, Dev Friendly, Qualitive Value. LoC is simply broadcasting how complex either A) the problem is (fair) or B) how you've made it (not fair) - most fall into the latter camp.

Code bases like kubernetes come to mind for LoC far exceeding its value. Code bases like Quake3 come to mind for LoC that provide tremendous value. Every line is an explicit decision to improve the code or make it worse.

Refactoring a system to be generic and re-usable, for example, would reduce LoC yet provide tremendous value. If I were her manager, would I deduct points for -2000 LoC? Would I praise her for taking copy-pasta and making a pattern? I know which I'd choose.

In my neighborhood (Marin County) the Catalytic Converter thieves don’t appear homeless.

In the arrests I have read about, they are arrested at homes, and they put the cats in mini-storages. It’s a family business? I won’t even think about bringing up previous culture before moving here because of the backlash.

(I actually don’t mind certain thefts. What bothers me about these thieves is they don’t have any honor. You don’t steal catalytic converters, or bicycles, especially from the middle, or poor. If you are going to steal—target the rich.)
Indeed - they've increased the scale of their atrocities against their own users quite a bit since then.

Author here. Many thanks for the positive feedback!

Apparently the most requested feature is to lower the minimum score threshold. This restriction made more sense when the keywords filter was not available: A subscription with a score threshold of less than, say, 200 points (this number was fairly arbitrary), ended up in the user being literally spammed by the service -- While testing the service, I roughly estimated that a score of 100 points is equivalent to ~1.5 emails every 15 minutes. The usability, cost, and scalability of this approach is probably not ideal.

However, now that custom keywords are involved in the criteria, I do feel like the minimum score can be lowered. Perhaps even removed, if the user has selected 1+ keywords (they are optional). I'll follow up on this feature in the GitHub issue, https://github.com/ichinaski/hnnotifications/issues/2
You see, that's the fundamental issue - their faith is not based on evidence, they fact that they don't always ignore counter evidence isn't that relevant.
