Failed experiments is what makes science go forward.

How can people who make a profits of innovation (yes, the shareholders he is talking about) ignore so much on the process that leads to innovation ?

This is why I believe there is a problem with the stock market : people who buy stocks don't have a clue, they just want to gather profits.

This only lead to shortsighted investment, pushing management to take "actions" to reassure clueless shareholders like him.
I change the keyboard shortcut to focus the menu bar from Ctrl-F2 to Ctrl-2 so I can type it comfortably from the home row (Caps lock is mapped to Control). Once you can focus the menu bar everything is a few keystrokes away. I couldn't live without Ctrl-2 f <RET> o <right arrow> to open recent files.
I don't have any problem remembering them personally (then again, I still remember root passwords I used when I was thirteen and they were completely random characters).

Sites like HN and Reddit I'm happy to use the same password (I'd be minorly annoyed, but realistically I wouldn't be that fussed if I lost control of either account, I can either recover it or even create a new one), but any site where someone finding my password could cause a problem has its own password, and I can remember them all.

Occasionally I forget which password goes with which site, but not often - actually I find it harder to remember which username/email goes with each site.
Engineering around a lose/vague patent if you find a good patent attorney isn't that difficult. Also remember that even if you violate a patent, most patent's aren't enforced because the company owning the patent doesn't have the resources to file suit or no longer exists.

Read the claims within the patent, if yours varies from the written claim or can modify it in such a way then you have little worry (depending on the company). For the best advice find a patent attorney and talk to them. There are entrepreneurial law firms that will give you an hour or two for free in the hope of future business. This is what I did when I was starting out. Bring in the potential patents and your idea and get advice from an expert. Trust me you'll save a lot of time.

It's not revolutionary, just a typical-but-notable iterative step in NLP. Which is fine!

I wrote a blog post on that a few months ago after playing a bit with GPT-3, and it holds up. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23891226
I really appreciate you saying that, in this day and age of internet discourse, I admire making an effort toward civility.
You can use a contactless physical card too. No need to use an outdated insecure mag strip.

Apple-style solution to this is to buy Apple Watch which authorizes payments without face scanning.
Jakeseliger.com is hosted on Wordpress.com, and I find the "Gutenberg" editor extremely irritating. My workflow has, for now, become start new post -> save draft of post -> go to /wp-admin and select the "classic" editor from the posts page. It's been a huge regression in usability for me; I wonder how many others feel similarly.

I guess the obvious answer is, "You should've self-hosted if you want control over the editor." Still: I didn't imagine wordpress.com moving to create a much harder-to-use default.
I understand where he is coming from but he does make a point in that many law firms simply use the process to generate wealth for themselves which in a way is similar to those patent sitting lawyers.

The don't produce anything, they just use the system to exploit it from others. I haven't googled it but I would love to know the cost to the economy of these types of actions, the companies that don't produce anything but exist simply by getting money from others through the courts or threat of using them
It is very very laggy. Literally, something like 1/10 fps if not less.
Typically that's how it works. If some functionality was removed, you will get linking errors.
For all those who are saying now "Who's Gene Wolfe??" I strongly, strongly, urge you to read his tetralogy "The Book of The New Sun," it's one of the finest sci-fi/fantasy series I've ever read and I have a pretty damn critical taste when it comes to literature. (not trying to sound snobby by the way, I just don't praise books like these lightly or without good reason)

So I love Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, Martian Chronicles (and other Ray Bradbury books), Ursula K Le Guin(Earthsea), Kurt Vonnegut (Cat's Cradle, Sirens of Titan, Slaughterhouse Five etc), Dune, Game of Thrones series, Neuromancer, Asimov (basically everything but especially Foundation series), Terry Pratchett, and so on...

And I consider Gene Wolfe's work to be on a par with all of the above, and I would say he takes sci-fi to another realm. The Book of The New Sun is the first sci-fi series I read where I thought, "this is literature," as in, comparable with books by Dostoyevsky and Hemingway, and I don't believe this is hyperbole, it's just that good.

The other amazing thing about The Book of The New Sun is that each time you read it you realize you missed about 100 things in the previous read-throughs, there is so much "hidden" in plain sight and the subsequent read-throughs are like reading a completely different book.

So just read it please.

Edited to include Le Guin as another example of "genre fiction" as literature.
And when your surpassing creations find the answers you asked for, you can’t understand their analysis and you can’t verify their answers. You have to take their word on faith—Or you use information theory to flatten it for you, to squash the tesseract into two dimensions and the Klein bottle into three, to simplify reality and pray to whatever Gods survived the millennium that your honorable twisting of the truth hasn’t ruptured any of its load-bearing pylons. You hire people like me; the crossbred progeny of profilers and proof assistants and information theorists…

In formal settings you’d call me Synthesist.

Alright, I'll bite. Long story-short: I miss google reader beyond reason so back in may or so when the wfh was already a norm I decided to start building it(along with several other projects in parallel as a matter of fact). I have build some of the internals but... I haven't been subtle about how much I hate dealing with frontend and the modern frontend even more so. So if anyone is interested, contact in profile.
Well, I think hazzle is a new term. It's when some is such a hassle it frozzles you, hence HAZZLE.
if I release something as open source, I want it to stay that way

You don't need the GPL to do this. Any open source license guarantees that open source code stays open source.

What you (apparently) want is to make sure that if you release something as open source, other people's code will be open source.
In a communist system, you are "expected" to innovate by an order from the top.

You're confusing communism with totalitarianism. It's a forgiving mistake considering that most nominally communist systems in history were actually totalitarian states with a communist ideology for the masses.

Of course, it's a whole separate discussion whether a true communism can ever really arise from the people, i.e. bottom-up, as opposed to being "declared" by the ruling class.
So the guilty party suffers nothing, and the taxpayer foots the bill...
That frozen-industrial-wasteland photo of Helsinki is awesome.
Ok. You never mention MySQL anywhere on your website. If anything, it sounded to me like ClearDB was an actual new database. Perhaps you should make it much more clear that you're providing a service and that it's based on a well known database platform. Good luck!
Don't forget to disable the USB ports with superglue! ;-)

Does Google Cloud Platform/Kubernetes count as a major team/critical service?

How does this compare to another field, say cars? I recently been car shopping for the first time, and the similarities between sedan models is amazing. Due to the nature of a car, and a sedan at that, it seems that all models have to follow a similar design for them to be functional and acceptable.

If a trade dress results in the monopoly of an industry, I assume then that the it would have to be avoided, or everyone pays Apple a small fee for use of the shape.

The issue as well is that many phones are all the same shape - rectangular, and many had rounded corners before Apple. Nokia have been using a XxX grid of icons for years before Apple. So essentially Apple is trying to trademark all of these elements put together as a trade dress issue.

But then Apple did take the time to invest and research the iPhone so they should take some of the benefits, but why sue so late?
Why can't I add my own website to my signature?
These days I can't tell the difference in speed between QS and Spotlight. Lion will also make that a bit faster and each entry a little nicer. I do miss the "verb" concept in QS, but I'd rather than it'd do a spotlight search and then overlay on that instead of implement it's own index.
I am said "cocksure noob."

If you disagree with @compay, you will assuredly earn the same title.
If you read the fine print, that "bump" to first class was for the airport shuttle train between Heathrow and Gatwick. Very misleading.
>The fact is, the iPhone and iPad are underpowered computers. They have limited storage, limited memory, (relatively) slow processors, slow network connections, and most importantly, small screens. And thus to make a great application user experience for these devices, you have to design with all those limitations in mind.

>And this I think is where the genius of Apple comes in. They aren’t trying to hide those limitations from the developer.

How can Apple even hide these limitations? I fail to see their genius here. All I see in the "article" are Gruber-ish vacuous arguments and justifications about how 'Apple can do no wrong'. Regardless, this post will get lots of upvotes because there are a lot of Apple fans around that will upmod based on the title of the post.
I'm thinking of stuff like Flash preroll ads, which somehow the Firefox adblock is able to get to but Chrome's will let through.
activated charcoal works. It's cheap stuff and should be available as inline filters. Put a cheaper filter in advance of it to get more life out of it.

I highly recommend subscribing to the Economist. Every week I flip through the edition on the app, saving interesting-looking articles. Then I listen to the saved articles in order when I’m cooking or whatever.
It’s like having a personalised, world-class podcast on topics of your choosing. I only recently realised that all of the articles are made available in audio form to subscribers. The subscription is a steal for this service.

what do you think would be the worst, most shocking revelation in your own 300pages long FBI file? especially one that includes a deposition from a former spouse who was seeking divorce settlement at the time, plus depositions of everyone you broke up with? i can only speak for myself, but my hypothetical file would have made considerably more interesting read than feyman's
It is not publicized which of the Supreme Court clerks helped author an opinion, for definite reasons.

What you will likely see is in a couple years, one or two of the clerks start to appear as law professors or judges involved in such cases.
And these laws were passed in some European countries before the USA introduced them
Range anxiety regarding electric vehicles seems to be something that mostly afflicts those who do not have an EV.

I have a 2015 Model S 70D with a range of about 330 km. In the three years and 70 thousand km that I have been driving it I have had only three occasions when I was anxious about the range. Most new EVs have better range than that so most buyers of new EVs from now on should have even less reason to be concerned. And of course most EVs are bought by people who can charge them at home which means that the car is almost always fully 'fuelled' when you need it. It won't be long before 500 km is a normal range for EVs which is comparable to a lot of petrol cars in the US: https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/fact-939-august-22-2016... (2016). The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is almost there.

"...that they themselves got disrupted." This statement, and your post as a whole, assumes that Wyze is offering something on par with SimpliSafe.

This simply isn't the case. To reinforce the other comment about Wyze's abysmal customer support, Wyze is currently rated Poor on TrustPilot[1^] (just as one example).

Conversely, SimpliSafe's Great rating on TrustPilot, and the NYTimes Wirecutter's Best DIY Home Security System of 2021 speak volumes.

This looks awful. Imagine a house full of branded buttons. Yuk. Though I'm sure my toddler would love pressing them endlessly. And all that packaging in the video, the horror.

It must an April fools joke.
The world looked slightly different after I watched that movie. There are many things that I blindly refused to believe without any means of disproving them.
Oprofile has been essentially replaced by "perf" (https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page) which should offer a superset of oprofile's capability with a nicer interface.

This new "trace" looks like it more about system calls, and perhaps has some overlap with perf (and uses perf).
I wholeheartedly agree that what the editor, Ms. Griggs, did was unethical and copyright infringement. I believe she should, and tried to, make it right. However, after watching the whole debacle through Facebook and Twitter and reading some of the reprehensible things, I was disgusted. The things that were said or written about were very often irrelevant from people who had no dog in the fight. And, there were some things that were written that would never have been spoken. I fear this event goes beyond copyright infringement.

Douglas Rushkoff, in his book 'Program or Be Programmed' has an entire chapter about the social aspect of the web and the mob it/we produce; it's quite a good read: http://www.orbooks.com/our-books/program/
That's it, I'm buying gold. First the Cisco forecast, now this.
That is a good example of how people are not precise enough with their natural language to be computationally useful.
I wasn't really a math person in grade school, but I remember needing a scientific calculator in middle school and a graphing calculator in highschool.

When I got to college I retook the remedial math courses (starting with the equivelent of Algebra II) before I could take calculus (and the other math courses for a CS degree).

Not a single professor of a math course let us use a graphing calculator, and infact, most had a "no calculator" policy.

I never really put that together: you can learn the same curriculum with or without a calculator.
Yes the problem definitely is related to signing in. Ironically you can view more if you do not! However, I have run into a few blogs/articles that require sign in to read.
Guess that leaves one option, park a bunch of ugly boats right in his view.
Thanks for your feedback, we'll fix that asap...
As it stands any broad based working class revolt in the US can be effectively nullified by bringing up a culture war issue like abortion, homosexuality, etc. and using it to split the electorate. This has been true for a long time. These issues evoke emotional responses that easily override any rational concern for one's economic well being.

Whether intentional or not, the culture war continues to be the most effective tool in history for sidelining and fragmenting any struggle for economic equality. This is because culture war issues do not slice the electorate along the same lines as economic issues.
I also liked "Freedom of speech is not Freedom of reach" though I suspect he didn't coin that.
> a vitamin provider you trust

I don't many of them these days. Heard through the grapevine, one manufacturer was turning away more and more source material since it was contaminated. Not all manufacturers test on a consistent bases. It seemed that most of the things like vitamins, amino acids were OK, but the plant-based things were nosediving in purity.
This always brings me the thought that how many highly/naturally intelligent/skilled people never get a chance to shine because they are born in the wrong part of the world or wrong side of the poverty line :-(
All that time not spent working (by the partner in the high earning family) is worth more than 0.
Somebody appointed the CEO, no?
Wow, that's a video full of sociopaths.
I used tailwind for v1 of my marketing site and it seemed fine at the time. Fast forward to when I needed to make some changes and some tags had 10+ modifiers on them including custom ones...it become so hard to figure out what was doing what without massively breaking things. I've since moved back to component libraries for their simplicity.
At least it's not display drivers anymore

It's OK, the MD5 sum is 951b878016159eadd8bfca08c3670038. And as we all know from downloading software on the Internet, if a checksum is posted it must be safe.
Is there a resource describing the state of current usage of pump.io etc? On the one hand, it seems to be used on several sites and some projects are working on it, on the other hand a lot of it is still in the works and most links that are not "create your account" pages seem to be for dead sites:
I clicked around the wiki for publicly visible aggregators etc. I found one that showed posts from August after loading for a few minutes, the others all led to non-responding servers.

(Basically: I'm interested in the general topic, but I can't get a sense if it is actually going anywhere)
Artificial neural networks are very distant from actual neuroscience. Researchers try to make their nets more "brain-like" but it rarely results in better algorithms. In the end they just use whatever works, and that happens to involve a lot of algorithms which are "biologically implausible". I.e. things that the brain couldn't physically do even if it wanted to.

E.g. sharing learned weights between different parts of the net is extremely effective, but probably not possible in actual physical neurons. Even the main algorithm used to train NNs, backpropagation, is considered biologically implausible. Although a lot of theories exist as to how neurons could implement very similar algorithms.
As always there is a complete lack of theoretical CS courses.
CS70 at Berkeley is always a good bet, the notes available online are fantastic.

Chrysler provides me no way in which to disable the 3G cellular modem in my UConnect system and I'm breaking the law if I try repogramming the buttons on my steering wheel to work with my phone's voice activated controls.

I can't even begin to sort out how upset this makes me feel.
Even setting aside the legality of this rip, doesn't the ethical aspects of it bother anyone as well?

Designing a simple and functional UI is really hard. It takes ages to sift through possible options, discard the fluff, iterate over the details and while the end result is endearingly simple, it ends up fronting a shitload of sweat and tears. And then someone just waltzes in waving their Libre flag and the middle finger to lift the whole thing just as if it's a no big deal. I don't know about you, but this really pisses me off. This is as disrespectful as it gets towards people who did the original work and it also reflects really poorly on the O/S in general.
I think the closest equivalent to the claim that vinyl is lossless would be that Windows 3.1 is efficient. Well... sure... if you squint hard enough and tune the definition of lossless/efficient properly, sure... but not in an actually relevant manner.
> test-driven legislation

I had a conversation with my brother, an attorney, about this at one point. I vaguely recall him asserting there have been some steps in this direction, but the lawyers always give up.

Please make this a thing!
That is literally just the past week; there's not really anything for future stuff (there is so much future stuff that keeping track of it all would almost be more work than just going out and implementing it ;) ) other than skimming the mailing list, the weekly meetings and sometimes the devs blogs (which normally get posted to the mailing list and /r/rust on reddit); although the significant discussions do get linked in TWiR, so I guess I kinda lied.
I agree with the article that JavaScript is a good choice. Nothing to install. No way (or there should be no way) to accidentally wipe the disk. Easy to share your code.

Now, JavaScript certainly has some ugly parts, but the difference between it and the old-school BASICs is that it's possible (with care) to avoid most of the ugly parts in JavaScript. That wasn't possible with BASIC.
Sports culture is funny. Fans/the system treat these guys like deities and also expect them to be humble. I actually like it when they're assholes.

And you said "one of the NBA greats," come on man don't like your dislike for him get in the way of what he is: the greatest player the league has seen.
For the case of ssh versus ssl the detection is trivial: first message for ssl comes from client but for ssh first message comes from server. So server simply waits for a while and assumes that client speaks ssh when it does not receive anything.

One can also match whatever is received in first message from client against known protocols (this approach makes it possible to for example run HTTP and HTTPS on same port as is done by IPP servers, particularly CUPS).
It does appear that she might have submitted this picture for professional publication and at which point, I'm sure the magazine would have to honor it.
You could draw on a much bigger pool than professionals. There are plenty of people who know a skill and don't professionally sell their services but could spare a few minutes occasionally to help someone with a problem. If you combine skill tracking with instant global availability of services, you have a lot of room for development.
It's a pretty great ROM and community, but the goals are different from LineageOS. PE aspires to replicate as much of the "pixel experience" as possible. It is not degoogled, ships with play services and all of that out of the box. But yes, certainly great if you want to get rid of bad OEM software and go for a stock android feel.
I believe what you are asking here is the fundamental question marketing and branding have trying to solve since well the invention of economic choice of products. (Coke or Pepsi)

The advertising industry has made billions and billions trying to convince very similar products are the unique and different.
