We didn't have to reverse-engineer the CPU. Also, CPUs are rationally designed; we have zero guarantees that an evolved brain follows any principles at all. Every brain region may be highly specialised to a single algorithm or task with zero mechanistic overlap. Figuring out deep neural nets is a closer analogy, and at the moment we have very little intuition for how to do even that. Keep in mind that the brain is vastly more complex than even the most advanced ANNs.

On the technical side: The most advanced neural techniques allow for parallel measurement calcium signals in ~10,000 neurones. That's a long way off from complete observation!

Maybe this is your problem. You should try not to be the team hero. Stick to your little part of the app, do a good job and go home early. If the rest of the team is screwing up - it isn't your job to fix.
This looks a fair amount like Guildwork (http://guildwork.com/), which I remember trying to do a fairly similar thing a few years back (but aimed more specifically at MMORPGs, I think). The founder of Guildwork is actually the CTO of Discord now. It's good to see someone else working on a similar idea, I think it's a space with a lot of potential.

Guilded looks really nice from what I can see while clicking around the site randomly a bit. Congratulations on getting it to the beta stage, it looks extremely impressive for something to have built mostly solo.

One fairly minor suggestion: I think it would probably be good to replace some of the screenshots in the carousel at the top of the landing page with more carefully selected ones. They're the very first "glimpse of the site" for someone new visiting guilded.gg, so they're the first impression of what the site will be like. And the very first thing they see right now is the Dota 2 screenshot with a large "So tired of laning with bads". Then it cycles to the WoT one that's also showing someone complaining. I think that just gives a bit of a negative initial feeling. Also, if Overwatch is one of your main focuses, having a screenshot in there with something more in-depth than "Overwatch RELEASE!" would probably help to show that off as well.
I don't think those civilizations have much in common with today's simply due to technological and scientific progress that has taken place--they were barely literate and subject to mythological reasoning and magical thinking.
I believe that at least in the US, lots of hospitals will underwrite your nursing degree in full or in part, as long as you agree to work there for some period of time. Different than this, but along the same lines.
When Britain (and thus the US) decide they no longer require the island for a naval base, it will be given to Mauritius.

The .IO domain would eventually be deleted, and that territory represented under the existing .MU (Mauritius) domain.

Judging by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mu I don't think the Mauritian people have much benefit from the arrangements for .MU.

I cannot imagine how America let this cancer of a health care system grow.

I live in Canada. For the next couple weeks, I'm unemployed. During this time, I'm planning to get some health checkups done, possibly get a referral to a sleep clinic, and maybe get my hearing checked. I don't have any fears or worries about this.

Friends always tell me I could be making so much more money in America... It's not worth the stress, the bullshit.

I grew up in Houston and for part of my life, we lived in a flood plane. From 2001-2008 our house flooded three times during Alison, Rita, and Ike. I moved out in 2002. I told my mom, maybe at a certain point you take the hint and move. So she did in 2010 right before the county expanded the Bayou system to that area.

So yea, migration should be considered a standard part of life.

This relies on several common misconceptions.

Earth's atmosphere is only about 0.03% carbon dioxide. CO2 levels high enough to cause catastrophic global warming still wouldn't displace enough oxygen to matter to humans - it would be a smaller change than a few thousand feet of elevation, which is entirely safe.

The second issue: CO2 is not inert in the human body. It's not used for any crucial reactions, but it's more relevant to us than N2 (largely inert at STP, not while diving) and vastly more reactive than He. That's why divers commonly use Trimix (O2, N2, He), and deep divers use Heliox (O2, He). CO2 is present in solution in your bloodstream at all times, partly as an output of chemical reactions and partly absorbed from the air.

Among other roles, CO2 levels are detected in human lungs - high CO2, not low O2, is what makes you feel the burning "need to breath" sensation. That's why hyperventilating is a common cause of shallow-water blackouts - it lowers blood CO2 levels more than it increases O2 levels, allowing you to run out of air without feeling it.

There's some data suggesting that elevated CO2 levels cause cognitive impairment, which can become quite serious. There's other data (e.g. from nuclear submarines) showing that humans can tolerate CO2 with minimal effect. No one has reconciled this neatly, but it's definitely not true that O2 displacement is the problem.

"Let me add my big one: price transparency."

Lack of price transparency bothers me as well and I wish we had it.

However, I don't know if there will ever be enough pressure to manifest this. Price transparency really only matters to the person paying the bill. Our society is very rapidly evolving to consider any healthcare cost of any kind to be an insurmountable burden that no normal person could ever be expected to pay. I suspect that the incomprehensible, ridiculous healthcare schemes that we are living through currently are just death spasms on the way to fully socialized medicine.

I'm sure there are rare people here and there that care how much a mile of highway costs to pave or how much a mile of city sewer line costs to install ... I would expect the same number of people to care about the cost of a medical procedure when their own cost is $0.
Since it's only a CPU, it makes sense that some of the obvious peripherals are omitted. Uploading an MP3 that would be put into a virtual C64 tape drive would make perfect sense, not to mention have some very interesting code to make it work.
It's fine if the user throws it out. The whole scheme is optional and the code is never activated until the user types it in first.

The user can either:

1. Throw it away. Then nothing happens; no 2FA is set up.

2. Type in the code in for a 10% discount. Again, no 2FA is set up so the user's security is never worst off than before.

3. Type in the code and setup 2FA. This is case the user is tech-savvy enough to properly setup 2FA and successfully authenticate with it (in order to claim the 20% discount) so they (hopefully) realize the importance and convenience of the pre-printed physical backup codes and will (hopefully) stash them away somewhere safe.
I think 12 of 13 participants started and finished the marathon. One washed out during training due to persistent injuries.

So, almost anyone can finish a marathon, with motivation and preparation. I can't remember for sure, but I think the participants had about a year and were given some excellent coaches whom they met with regularly.

Ultras require substantially the same kind of training as marathons, though you'll certainly have a different fueling and pacing strategy.

Also for tax reasons, although different hospitals have different tax classifications.
An alternative is to join a company that is working on something meaningful. Maybe there's no way to get around writing code for messy projects but perhaps those projects could be in service of something you believe in. You could be a developer at a non-profit, in a co-operative, or for a political campaign.
>But you don't actually need any lenders for that. If all you want is to create new money and give it to people, the government can create money by fiat and just hand it out to all citizens, or pay for government with it in lieu of taxing people. It's the same thing, there is just no interest.

Oh boy. You might want to take an economics class there bud, what you're talking about would just create the same situation Zimbabwe is in. More fiat without anything backing it leads to inflation.

Ask HN: Best python library for git?
Trying to search for Python libraries to handle git functions. It's a little hard to get relevant results for since there are a lot of python libraries using github/gitlab, so asking the HN Crowd.

Two I've found:

- pygit

- gitpython

Either of these considered the standard? Any others I should know about?
> The first time I tried a packet (GU gel) in a practice run, I nearly puked

I used to puke anything I had when I ran.

My digestion couldn't handle food when I was running. It was a mix of slight heartburns (& coffee) causing a sensitive stomach which didn't like food moving around when I ran and partly because I was running so hard my stomach didn't have enough blood to process the food.

Several weeks of eating peanut butter mini sandwiches with their crusts cut off, banana slices and oranges dipped in salt, while running at a moderate pace, I managed to tame the tummy.

That said - I don't think I like the taste of GU gels, but like coffee or beer, you get used to it (& the extra 100Kcal feels like it goes directly to your legs).

True, and dangerous; this even happens naturally when volcanos displace oxygen and create lethal stretches of depressed ground. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazuku)

But not the issue here. CO2 is a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, and apocalyptic global warming happens well before O2 displacement becomes an issue. Bear in mind that humans can function effectively up to several thousand meters - the O2 loss from low pressure is vastly larger than any possible CO2 displacement.

If CO2 is going to have physiological effects via the atmosphere, it's based on chronic exposure and high blood concentrations. There are some studies suggesting that causes cognitive harm, and others suggesting it doesn't.
> 18 minute miles is walking pace.

Thank you for pointing this out. I'm so sick if people telling me they ran a marathon only to find out they walked. I'm totally fine with that being an accomplishment to finish, but it's entirely dissimilar to those who were racing.
"One possible conclusion would be that if we look at the universe in totality and not bracket any subset of phenomena, the mathematics we would need would have no axioms at all. That is, the universe in totality is devoid of structure and needs no axioms to describe it."

To me, this speculation sounds intuitively true, probably because of my attraction to non-dual teachings. Of course, at that point, it raises the question of what is mathematics without axioms - in what sense is it still mathematics, and for whom?
Reducing vehicle traffic will not make rail service better. They are separate rights of way. So again, what is the virtue of having less traffic?

Around here, even regional (Transbay) bus service works fine in arbitrarily bad traffic because no matter how many people are waiting to get through the personal-vehicle lanes, the bus flies right over them on a dedicated lane. The primary impediment to Transbay service speed is actually the stream of pedestrians preventing the buses from getting a right turn between the freeway off-ramp and the bus terminal.

Certainly improving public transit is good in and of itself, and traffic will diminish if people are taking public transit instead, but this is a secondary effect. Reducing traffic should not be a goal by itself.

Traffic is bad to the extent that it wastes people's time. If public transit and bicycles would waste even more of their time, then we should be happy people have access to something better.
You might want to consider shooting for financial independence (see https://www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/).

It might be a few years of grinding it out as a developer, but if you focus on it then it could come pretty quickly.

Having a large cushion of savings makes it much easier to find fulfilling work. You can experiment with a startup if you want (and not worry so much about it failing). You can try a lower-pay but high-impact career. You can travel.

I'm nowhere near FI myself, but even the savings I do have made me feel much more free.

Otherwise, look into adjacent careers. Product management, sales engineering, and engineering management are all potential tracks to try.

It's all about the threat matrix. My parents use 1password because they otherwise would always use the same one (my mum) or keep them on an elaborate spreadsheet hidden someplace and sometimes hard to find (my dad).

For them, the risk of their un-backed-up computers crashing and them losing all their passwords is higher than the risk of the cloud storage being cracked. They already trust Agile Bit's security since that company writes 1password and hardens it against local attack.

In the US dentists don't all charge the same thing in my experience although they're probably in the same general ballpark for a given procedure. A quick Google seems to confirm that. There is definitely more transparency in pricing because many/most people don't have insurance and insurance for semi-cosmetic procedures is somewhat limited. (And there are often treatment options that people will reasonably choose from based on price.)
Kind of disappointed the article made no mention of the Vive.

Oculus is a PC product, PSVR is, well, obviously a PS4 product. I would think Oculus's primary competitor is the Vive, another PC product. A quick Google search leads to a lot of articles written in January claiming the Vive is outselling Oculus 2-to-1.

Oculus's problem is that they buddied up with Facebook and then tried to create a walled garden. Meanwhile, HTC buddied up with Steam, the de facto home for PC gamers, to market the Vive. Oculus is also behind the curve. Vive is room-scale and had motion controls from day 1.
As fairly average athlete myself, I think he's implying running is one of those sports that pure grit and determination can get you further ahead of the pack compared to many other sports. I'm just a skinny punk but I sure pass a lot of really buff guys when I run 5K races. Probably comes from a lifetime of running my mouth :)
If the times claimed by the developers are true, then it just tells me that BSD was the correct choice of license, as otherwise zapcc might not have happened.

My 40 year old microwave just died. Magic Chef, manufactured in October, 1977 in Anniston, GA. Ran like a champ up to its last moment. A faint wiff of overheated electronics, at the end of one run, and upon the next, the magnetron (or klystron, someone told me such an old unit might have?) wouldn't power up. Control panel still works just fine.

My previous furnace, a Lennox, was circa 35 years old when it was replaced. The blower motor was failing and I took the advice of the technician to put the money to repair instead towards a new unit. A Rheem, which came with at least two significant (and noisy) defects that took repeated, ineffective visits (with additional expenses) and over a year to finally partially mitigate. What a piece of shit, that "highly regarded" Rheem unit. And the subsequent support for it, under warranty. And, I understand it's expected lifetime is on the order of 15 years.

New stuff may be more efficient, but a lot of it is crap for endurance and sometimes even simple convenience. And, I am increasingly comparing the supposed savings (energy, water, etc.) against cost -- both in money and in time and effort -- of maintaining and replacing these... "chintzy" newer models.

Sure, slap a sheet of stainless steel on the exterior. Style it up. Inside, it's still kind of a piece of crap.

My parents replaced their many years old Kenmore washer with a top of the line top-loader made by LG. (For various reasons, a front-loader didn't work for them.) The clothes consistently come out of the LG wrinkled as well as covered with lint. If you air dry (which makes clothes last longer and not shrink and all sorts of good things), it's a real problem.

The suggested work-around passed on by the seller? Run all loads with the "Bulky Items" setting on. What does this do? Fills the drum to the top with water. There go the supposed water savings and some of the energy savings (from the mass of heated water consumed, as well as the additional power to move the extra water around). At least the unit has this setting -- thank goodness! Otherwise, it would be pretty unusable.

Someday, someone's going to take the time and effort to research and write up a book full of comparisons between our current household machinery and older generations. And, I suspect, some of the results aren't going to be pretty.

I saw The Hateful Eight in 70mm, but it was projected on a normal-sized movie theater screen, and frankly, if anything, it looked worse than a normal film. I suspect the staff was inadequately trained in how to operate a real film projector, as the focus looked a touch soft.

On the other hand, seeing Interstellar in 70mm IMAX was _incredible_. Even with the recent IMAX Laser projectors, 70mm IMAX prints contain much more resolution and it was the best looking movie experience I have ever had. I highly recommend seeing Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX if it's playing near you.

Large format film is the domain of the auteur because they're the only ones who can get away with it. 70mm is ridiculously expensive, and the logistics of moving it around doubly so -- a typical thousand-foot reel of 1570 IMAX 70mm will give you about three minutes of shooting before a reel change is necessary. You get one good take, then your camera assistants spend 10-15 minutes changing the reel while your cast stands around smoking. 35mm, on the other hand, buys you about 10 minutes of shooting on a typical reel and a much faster turnaround.

When Christopher Nolan says sure, I'll cook you a billion dollar movie but here are my requirements, he'll get away with it. When Judd Apatow tries the same, he won't. Blockbuster superhero movies, given their returns, should be shooting on whatever they want but those are made for quantity.
