So let me probe at this + give some anecdotes.

"Organize ourselves." The meat and potatoes here seems to be in what it means to be organized. Amnesty International would theoretically fit the bill of what we're seeking, but as demonstrated by our inability to even end our own indefinite detention facilities (gitmo) during the tenure of a president who was ostensibly opposed to it, we can observe that the organization we've had at our disposal to fight these wrongs is unfortunately lacking in terms of producing results.

Meanwhile, the NRA has taken a different angle of "organization" and has seen it pay dividends, as their message by and large continues to be the law of the land, despite an onslaught of events (consistent mass shootings) that one would expect to undercut them.

How can we organize in a way such that we fall into the latter group and not the former? (In success, not in virtue)

And now the anecdotes. The other night I had a conversation with my mother about Vietnam. She had protested heavily, and told me about the inflection points in public opinion (kent state, tet, and the draft numbers themselves). For her, and her peers, "what is your draft #" became one of the key topics of conversation, the understanding of the implications of not doing anything about the war was pervasive among the broader population.

To loop this back to my main point, in absence of:

1. A clear, sustained, and singular message.

2. _awareness_ of this message throughout society.

3. A societal "concience" that the message is in fact something worth having

I am very pessimistic about incurring change; and she and I agreed that all 3 aspects are currently somewhat lacking in the American zeitgeist.

This loops back on my whole frustration about these topics often being persona-non-grata, so I'd ask if you agree with my summation, and what points you think can most effectively be addressed? (again to reference my root post, this is why I think we have a privileged position as tech influencers and business-people, since there's often such tight connections between our work and govt, and we may be able to flex this)
I actually disagree that Apple should make it easier for you to physically use your phone whilst driving. If you need to change songs use Siri or better yet pull over.

And I also disagree that saying that Apple has given up on their "playlists" or that they are stagnant in content. There are many playlists within Apple Music: the auto generated ones e.g. Chill Mix which are refreshed once a week, the Beats1/Guest ones which are refreshed very often e.g. a few times a day and the ones littered through Browse which again are often updated once a week.

Which "playlists" are you referring to ?
When I open Discordapp or Slack it is like opening 5 instances of Chromium with 20 tabs full of flash. When will apps closer to the metal take over this space. Performance is a major issue of Electron. It is awesome to build MVP and get traction but it is time to move on Discordapp/Slack
Why do you assume that there were hundreds of other people looking for these vulnerabilities? Chances are, when we learn the technical details, we're going to find out that they're bog-standard memory corruption flaws in driver code, and that the thing that prevented anyone from discovering them was that nobody looked for them.
I got interested in the notion of plant intelligence lately; my conjecture is: mushrooms produce psilocybin for themselves, to improve their own creativity and/or life experience :)
Are you sure they built a runway? Sounds more like a FARP for helicopters.

Pretty much all US combat aircraft are tarmac bound due to low mounted engine inlets, with the exception of a couple transports and the A-10.
Personally, this is exactly why Google Play is the only option for me. I would gladly move back to Spotify should they offer that feature.

Eh, easily attributed to brain chemistry and not necessarily anything woo.
I get your hesitation, but for me the real value is in this sentence:

> It has also won a $960,000 federal grant from the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health for “whole-brain nanoscale preservation and imaging,” the text of which foresees a “commercial opportunity in offering brain preservation” for purposes including drug research.

The rich can do what they want, invest in the businesses they want, and no I don't necessarily want my tax money used for those purposes. But this research sounds like it has potential to be really valuable to humanity as a whole, commercial applications notwithstanding. And that's how science in this country works. Either it's funded by a company like Pfizer where it's locked behind gilded doors or it's funded by taxes and carried out at a university where it's open for all to look at, and given those options I know my preference.
I see you read 3 short paragraphs further into the article, where that was all explained in detail (except you missed the note that the farms were inherited from his father) ...

Considering that (according to this article) he later called agriculture “the study of my life”, perhaps “farmer” is an appropriate one-word summary after all.
> if you look at Spotify, you find they have all these features that music lovers would use

Likewise when I look at Apple Music I find all these features that music lovers would use.

I guess neither of us speaks for "music lovers".

Beats1 is incredible for music discovery and has no peer on Spotify for example.
I mean, it's espresso. It's supposed to be bitter.
Been trying to decide whether to do this myself, this really a dark pattern?

We're not asking until until they try to use the feature that requires location, but are using the additional pop-up. Rationale being that they probably want to allow it or they wouldnt be using app, and making it so they dont mistakenly deny and have to mess with setting is really more of a convenience.

But ya it does seem to go against the OS defined behavior.
I dunno if it would help, but I buy everything with credit cards (not directly linked to my bank account) so if I'm having issues returning something the next step would be a dispute via the CC company.

It's amazing how many issues have been cleared up within a few days once the money is on the line.
At least Cruise is not false advertising and scamming people into buying any vaporware like Tesla...
You're recapitulating an argument that Arrigo Triulzi posted on Twitter based on his reading of the CPS-Labs white paper. The white paper doesn't include technical information about the flaws.

Dan Guido and Trail of Bits got to read the actual report, and vouched for them as real vulnerabilities. The fact that there are vulnerabilities in signed drivers is a bad thing: it means that AMD shipped cryptographically signed versions of vulnerabilities. Arrigo's twitter thread implied that the use of signed code somehow mitigated the vulnerabilities, but the opposite thing is true.
Another HDAC inhibitor that works against autism and is easy to obtain by eating broccoli sprouts is sulforaphane: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5672987/
I think that's solved now though, at least for a few ICs and toolchains, via things like MyHDL and/or rhea (tldr; Python wrappers) and websites like fpga4fun.com
Your proposed solution doesn’t resolve the issue you’re responding to, or a number of other issues I can think of. And it doesn’t resolve any issues for returns without receipt, which is definitely a large concern.

I really don’t think Australia has this solved any better than the US, if this is the only solution.
Thanks for responding.

> That's an illusion, for reasons I attempted to describe here

That implies that it's an unsolvable problem, if I understand correctly. There's no reason to think this problem is any more difficult than all the other 'unsolvable' ones and this one is particularly, I would even say 'extremely' valuable to work on.

I don't believe we simply could introduce political topics and it would work due to some HN magic. It would take serious work and experimentation to find a solution, but I think HN is better suited than other places to do that work. And a solution could change discourse in the country and the world, at a time when discourse on the Internet problems SV has invented has become a very dangerous weapon for some, and is tearing society apart.

I realize that "we" means you and sctb more than anyone, and so it's a request and encouragement. I still think it's the most valuable thing HN could do, potentially world-changing. Previous generations had books and leaders that changed the course of history; this time it might be software or a software-based technique that turns the tide. I hope that at least you will keep it in mind.
How do they determine the number of open requisitions? Seems like number of job postings is misleading since one posting could be used to hire multiple people.
I live in SV but grew up in Chicago. It's one of the best things going for that city.
Maybe memory is overrated in the great scheme of things.
Arguing with a robot over spelling seems like it would be more distracting than hitting a button.
I'm going to straight up disagree that open source communities should use Discord. Michael Greer lists a lot of great advantages over Slack, but that is not sufficient. In particular I think open source communities should have 1) threaded discussions that are 2) searchable results on google. (for hopefully self evident reasons)

Discord has neither.

I don't have any influence over these giant communities but if I were starting them from scratch I would put them on https://spectrum.chat because it explicitly solves these issues. (no affiliation) Now the network effect makes it a lot harder. I would encourage -new- open source communities to check Spectrum out.
Wait, Metasploit of all things? They have been doing coordinated disclosure since forever.
Show HN: CSS Gradient
their "discover weekly" playlist is great but im not sure how well they work for new users. ive been using spotify for around 8 years so by the time they released discover weekly they probably had a good profile on me and it definitely showed.
there have been times where maybe 15 or 20 out of the 30 tracks in the playlist have been ones that i liked and 5 or so out of that 20 have become favourites. thats been the general pattern for me anyway on a good week, others it might be less.
True, but the research involved could be applicable to a lot more situations that aren't specifically this. Peering deeper into the brain than currently possible sounds pretty useful.
thats a shame, one of my local pizza makers used to serve dime bags with the pizza. robots cant do that :p
Same feeling, thought it's open sourced.
Hey, maybe they can either make their terrible pizza even cheaper, or maybe make less terrible pizza for the same price.

It's Bayesian because we are estimating a (posterior) distribution for the state of the system, rather than just a "point" estimate. Restricting to only the Gaussian distribution (while a nice example) is losing the forest for the trees.

> However, I'm not sure I understand a single component of the expression P(A|B) = P(B|A) P(A) / P(B) in this context. What does A|B or B|A even mean when A is a 3D Gaussian and B is 2D? What are the dimensionalities of these operations? What does it mean to divide a product of pdfs?

I'm not able to understand why any of that is bothersome. Suppose A is the system's state (x,y,z) and B is the sensor reading (measures just the projection along the x-axis, such as a depth measurement). Since the sensor is not perfect, it could generate a range of readings for any given position of the object, specified by p(B[x]|A[x,y,z]) -- suppose you're give one value of B which is sampled from that distribution (say that was a Gaussian with standard deviation sigma). Given that value, you need to estimate the likelihood p(A|B). Alternatively, you can imagine performing variational inference for p(A|B) in the family of Gaussian distributions (which happens to contain the true distribution in this case). Whichever way we go about it, p(A|B) is a Gaussian with the same standard deviation sigma, centered at the measured B. (Intuitively, we can see that a measurement B will constrain the "x" component of A but not the other two coordinates)

p(A) is the "prior" you get as an extrapolation from your knowledge of the system's past state. However complicated/nonlinear the system's evolution function, you can find p(A, t) either as a closed form expression, or by doing simulations, etc. (typically from p(A,t-1) but note, for example, that this general formulation can be used even if your system's dynamics does not satisfy the Markov property).

If you have both p(A|B) and p(A) manifestly in the form of probability density functions, multiplying them is easy. At the end of this process, it is good enough to have an un-normalized posterior for A, which specifies the relative probability of different states. Dividing by p(B) is equivalent to normalizing the candidate posterior distribution. More generally, if the prior and the likelihood are specified by moments, or by some variational parameters, or by simulations, we can think of other ways to combine them.
With a receipt and/or the credit card you bought with is pretty common.

It's non-falsifiable, which is the actual standard of science, because we don't have a test for it yet. We'd have to have something to observe and measure, something to test. As some quick examples for this specific case:

* There are mental disorders, drugs, experiences that seem to imply dualism; those are entirely inside those people's mind with no way to prove those experiences are true, or simply products of the brain.

* Damage to a brain seems to change consciousness (this is falsifiable, and proven) which seems to suggest that it is where our consciousness is; damaging the receiver damages the connection, it's obvious that something must bind the consciousness.

This is a well thought about topic. If you have some sort of falsifiable test, please suggest it, otherwise, far wiser people have tried and failed to think of one (and as a note, it's up to you to prove that your hypothesis can be falsified, it's your claim).
Funny how folks complain about pricing built in to account for things like return policy but not much a peep about pricing that accounts for profits to share holders. It is even funnier because only one of those expenses provides a competitive advantage in the market.

You are correct, customers at Amazon pay for the operation that is known as Amazon and their policies, such as generous returns. Customers also shop there for the convenience of those returns.
Brilliant. In some cases you don't want someone tearing apart a $300k radio to figure out what's wrong with it, but on the other hand, a small fix to save $20k is awesome.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Google, for one, likes to hire a lot of people under just two-three job descriptions. The author doesn't take any of that into account and it's not clear what the original analysts said, either — perhaps they compensated for this by calibrating numbers against historical employee headcount. Which is still broken, because, historically, Google had varying mixes of engineers vs. non-engineers, for example (but also: employees vs. contractors; lots could be said there).
Sounds like the best way to combat this is to call your credit card and do a charge-back. In that case, the retailer wouldn't even get the merchandise back.

Make that very clear when you are initiating the return and you are being refused.

I'm certainly dubious about this - for instance how does a self-flying aircraft obey air traffic control commands, or report its own status to ATC or other pilots? Since you don't need a pilot's licence (their claim), will it handle every type of unforseen weather conditions for you? A plane can't just pull over and stop anywhere. Is a plane with only 100km (~62 mile) range really useful vs. driving or public transport anyway? Battery weight must be a major hurdle to greater range.

But I thought it was an interesting article worth posting anyway. We hear a lot about electric and self-driving ground vehicles, but little about the equivalents in aircraft. And they seem to have a real vertical-takeoff "flying car" prototype which is more than Moller Skycar can say after half a century.
It's quite unsettling that Linus thinks as much of security in general, given that he maintains a kernel and he's responsible for accepting its security modules that are next to unusable because of their complexity. Could his general disbelief lead to a (kind of) dismissive attitude in this respect? Keep in mind he's the one that would never properly disclose of a security fix - instead of saying which problem is fixed, the general approach is to just publish a new kernel minor release and say "some security bugs are fixed, go figure".
I might be wrong, but 'faster' strikes me as a more ambiguous word. In this context it would be clear, but I can see how consistently using performant would help in clarifying what this 'faster' you're talking about is.

Not sure if this answers you question about how Discord can afford it while Slack can't, but the topic of how they store all those messages was addressed very well in this article. https://blog.discordapp.com/how-discord-stores-billions-of-m...

Based on the description given in that article it's a technical hassle to store that many messages, and it could be Slack just thought it didn't want to deal with that.
Shouldn't open source projects, you know, be using open source projects?
I've tried to explain this the my client but they don't care. IF they see conversion from it, they'll keep using it.
More gain 'k' explanation. 'K' determines how much you weight you give sensor A and sensor B.

A gain of 1.0 means B is weighted 100% and A is 0%. Gain of 0.5 means each gets 50/50 weight.

Look at the maths and notice how when the gain is 1.0, the mean just becomes the mean of B.
Yeah I'd agree on that. I mean though if you are trawling an artists catalogue. In that case I think it's reasonable to want to listen to a discography in the order that they were released, once you've decided that you want to get to know an artist properly.
> It's non-falsifiable

You just made an assertion. Now you have to prove it.

If the idea that the spirit is another fundamental force of nature is true, then it can be tested and be falsifiable.

The older I get, the slower I feel. Projects seem to need more planning and I wish I was more spontaneous, but I realize documentation is important, or testing needs to be done, or branding should be polished up. Syntax is a small part of software development, but it's everywhere. I need to be productive, and I just don't want to be on this hamster wheel when I'm just trying to get something shipped to developers and users, which is hard enough on its own.

You should check the other projects of magenta, they did something like you describe with piano using 1400 training pieces. Now they only need user feedback to find out which outputs of the network are garbage ... oh wait, maybe they are already doing that, who knows.

Well, they are probably not tuning 100 instrument parameters but only the play characteristics like accent, velocity and so on.
You can search for things that've been said on Discord, albeit not with Google.

My guess is that some researcher found something and decided to maximize profits, scraping the bottom of the barrel of quasi-vulnerabilities, creatively exaggerating, and bringing in the lawyers, the financiers and the PR weasels needed to throw a scary web site and a misleading "white paper" at AMD. We'll see what CTS works on next.
Why Apple who has driven UX throughout the industry gives two craps about UX in Apple MUsic is baffling.

There’s so many times I want to do something like play all songs under recently added or even one song without having to go to another screen. Also you ask Siri hey play songs similar to this one and she will but why the hell does Apple Music create a playlist I have to clear before going to play something else outside of that stupid playlist I didnt ask it to create? I just said play songs similar to this. So may terrible UX examples.

I only subscribe still because Of Apple Music and Siri integration for when driving.

Also music discovery is crap.. I just want it to randomly play new songs similar to a playlist I’m listening to and do so randomly/surprise me. Nope doesn’t do that and this I now subscribe to YouTube red for discovery and it rocks as I listen at work and home on my computers. Not safe to use Red while driving :-(

"Discord is the easiest platform to join. New users can immediately join our conversations without having to create an account."

That is, frankly, the killer feature.

Notwithstanding, I find it odd that developers here don't use E2E chats. It's always something clear text with permanent history, and in the case of Slack, key logging too! There's a JS based xmpp framework out there.

It puzzles me why no one uses such things.

This is correct. I mistakenly assumed that if they wanted to know about it, then they wanted to change something according to it, which may not be the case.

They have talks, documentation is awesome, examples may even run online, ide stuff is cool,
In my opinion, it hard to be more welcoming than that,

Agreed on points in the article. Would be good to note that using thinner stroke for interior details (and thicker strokes for "important" lines that represent large depth discontinuities) is also a reasonable design choice (example: https://dribbble.com/shots/1324699-Icons https://dribbble.com/shots/1329630-More-Icons )–this is pretty common in non-icon illustrations as well.

This will break many tools which currently rely on LE. E.g. mailinabox, which uses LE to set itself up.
