Clever marketers have convinced people to pay top dollar for giant sea insects like lobster and crab, and then to mask the weird insect flavor (smells like lightly rotting tissue) by bathing them in melted butter.

Marketers have also convinced people to pay top dollar for intrinsically worthless diamonds.

Good marketers are extremely valuable.

Show HN: Scrim TV - Connect, Collaborate and Create
Hey HN!

Scrim TV (www.scrim.tv) is a place for creators to connect, collaborate and create.

I started working Scrim TV after trying to get into video content creation. Growing up watching SNL every weekend I wanted to try and create my own sketch comedy videos. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to find people with that same interest. So instead of making a few friends, I made a website.
That felt super reasonable.

There's still a ton to iron out and a few wonky behaviors, but you can create an account and browse/message other creators. Right now all messaging is just done through the email you use to sign up, I wanted to see if there was any interest before building out a messaging platform. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

HN probably isn't the exact target demographic, but I respect the hell out of you guys and would love any feedback that you're willing to give as I launch this project.

Thanks for your time, hope you check it out!

I played such a game, called Green Globs, in junior high school. I spent probably 20 minutes tweaking an ellipse equation to hit 7 or 8 globs.
Interesting thoughts.

I personally hope they are not as subjective as we see today. Perhaps there are reasons why, say red, appears as it does.

A ruleset there would, to me at least, be profound. While it may remain impossible to directly convey thoughts, impressions, we may well end up with far better language to work with and see commonalities we do not today.

Re: agency

A thing aware it is a thing, may be the root of real AI too.

I have long thought these disjointed, brain in a jar essentially, experiments lack that. No body, no closed loop with themselves, no sense of being = no agency.

We may also find intelligence is rooted in an interest, need to exist, or just be an expression.

By that, I mean what I did above. A rock is essentially what has happened. Information in matter form, a record.

Agency, is meta. Beings see expressions, the world, and due to their nature, being sufficiently complex, have an interest, themselves, their kind, apart from the world and it's undulating history.
Your comment should have stayed dead, I don't know how you revived it. The board of directors demanding he delete his Twitter account is pointless. He would just refuse.

Secondly, this has nothing to do with the FCC.

Thirdly, your personal hatred of Twitter is completely off topic.
All you people claiming that the only way to reduce housing costs is to build more housing are missing the other only way to reduce housing costs.

Remember, there is not only supply but also demand.

We need to reduce population growth to below zero. A sustainable world population is probably close to 0.9B, far less than the current level of about 9B, and significantly less than projected “stable” population of around 11B

Current world population is expansionist and we are down to less than 300 years worth of phosphates, with no plans to reclaim phosphates from the ocean.
Conceptually, that sounds the same as Shamir's Secret Sharing. Do these have similar implementations as well as similar underlying concepts?
90%+ don't itemize because, we tried it, some of us for a couple years, and realize that we've been spending 10s or even 100s of hours of time keeping records, feeding them in to the tax software and then get told...

Taking the standard deduction (all your work, charitable donations, and other itemizable items still don't cross this threshold).

It's really annoying that taxes are even the way they are, it's all just a huge, convoluted mess. For something like 95%+ of the US the government already knows your earnings (W2/etc), banking (INT-whatever), and any brokerage/etc stuff. The only reason the IRS doesn't send a pre-filled out form that says "this is what we believe is owed to whom, - please pay / cash the check, or fill out taxes manually to report where you think we missed data" is PRECISELY because HR Block and Intuit (Turbo Tax) lobby for complicated taxes and no government automation.
How would it? The API endpoint is sending the data to the user's device anyway, because the mobile client initiates a request to the API by design.
He said the same thing in that podcast he did recently. The podcast he did with that company that says Tesla stock has multiple thousand upside.
In addition to docs, I’d also add evangelism as often missing. For a project to be successful, someone fronting the project and engaging with a potential community on how it could be used. Call it “sales” or “marketing” even, but open source projects need it as much as proprietary products...
Maybe we should package it together as PlugBoy?
what a joke this response is. Article mentions A, B and C. with pictures and first hand anecdotes. FB press release issue a statement that they have contracts that do not allow for A, B and C.

They don't even try anymore.
Good luck trying to explain this to EU politicians. They'll just cry and demand to know European competitors to those services.
So did I! Also SNAKES.BAS or whatever it was.
> That's only true if your transactions are all busy most of the time.

And this is actually what you want from a performance point of view: Reduce the number of roundtrips and keep your transactions as short as possible.

Once a transaction locks a row or table, the lock persists regardless of whether the transaction is active or inactive, resulting in resource contention. The same applies to memory: if each connection has 10 MB of memory, 10 GB of memory is wasted for every 100 unused connections that could otherwise have been used for caching.
Not an economist, but Glazer's conclusion doesn't seem terribly interesting:

"I do not claim that incentives to attract new plants always hurt the locality offering the incentives. The new facilities incentives attract can be a benefit. Perhaps most importantly, as Greenstone et al. (2010) show, agglomeration economies exist.

My story shows a difference between local and state or national incentives. For any one locality, a new facility may preclude the establishment of other facilities. At the state or national level, that need not happen."

----

The reason his conclusion seems weak in importance is that it is essentially just the following:

For any locality, there is the possibility that a new facility will be a determining cause in additional facilities not being built at some later point.

A couple natural questions here are, "who would disagree with this?" or "have a non-trivial number of economists in Glazer's subdiscipline not believed this?"
My dev commits are usually of the form "Add test for Foo.bar", and every master commit has a dozen or so of these dev commits squashed together. Dev commits are not usually immediately useful to anyone other than the author.
You can permanently disable the GPU on the board, assuming the heat only fried the GPU, your laptop can be usable again.

The EU won't be content with it, but they still won't do anything about it.
Can you not run a docker container for each dev who would log into it, so they're isolated to begin with?

Of course ports can't be shared for each app servers but you can get around that anyhow.
I generally recommend .com. You can still get a pretty decent domain name if you try a bunch of options and put some thought into it. (It has to be 5 letters or above; I recently confirmed that every 4 letter or fewer domain name is taken.)

.com has legitimacy, it's not going to have hiccups (some country code domain names are pretty iffy, like .io had issues a while back), and contracts with ICANN ensure it's not going to extort a huge price out of you.
Oh, you mean like uphold the law?
Right, certainly the EP9 isn't the only one to do it, so it's not a sole factor in judging Nio's work/intentions. But it certainly stands that "has a lap record" isn't necessarily any sort of sign for conviction from a company with nearly no other track record (terrible pun intended).
Considering that California can't even fix potholes on I80, I'm thinking this is a false equivalency. America can build plenty big, California can't.

Twitter's value is providing a direct connection from people of note to the masses, bypassing newspaper/TV/radio gatekeepers of yesteryear. You could argue whether that itself is good for society, but it is clear from Twitter's usage that people find it valuable.
This is where a software solution might actually help. As an example, I've added some keywords to a script in my IRC client that if they exist the message is stopped by my client.

In Elon Musks' case this should be Tesla (and probably some other court mandated muzzles) and should be on their Twitter clients, and other "designated publication channels" that the ruling covers.

Why? Because remembering to not do things is a restraint that is extremely mentally burdensome and thus difficult to get correct 100% of the time.

Also, this should probably apply to CEOs and other "public figures" as a general practice they work with through their PR and marketing firms.

The fact that twitter and other platforms are closed only makes this innovation more difficult to add to end user clients.
> giant sea insects like lobster and crab

Technically, lobster and crab are crustaceans, not insects ;)
Twitter is decidedly on-topic since it is Elon's misbehavior on twitter that got him into this whole mess.
Not if that person has posted:

1) MAJOR false market moving information regarding a buyout with funding committed that both never happened and turned out to be basically hot air to get back at shorts

2) AGREED to pre-approval of tweets about tesla so that "mistakes" wouldn't happen again

3) Promptly tweaks another FALSE and market moving prediction about 2019 production (500K), which almost immediately leads to the resignation of Tesla General Counsel and then has to be corrected.

This is overdue.

When I first saw the tweet, I was like how in the heck is this getting pre-approval clearance - especially to have such a big increase from guidance (400K guidance, 500K was updated guidance!)

One alternative - have Elon pay out of pocket to all the sorts and anyone else who losses money acting on his tweet addiction.
H1B is dual intent and EAD is given only to those who have approved GC application. The need for EAD arises because of racist per country caps which apply only to India and China.
Right, he was projecting 2019 production publicly, and the SEC cites the first tweet as the projection that violated the original agreement.
Sorry but even tho the big companies produce a lot of interesting research, I challenge you to not find any interesting model trained on a single GPU from recent publications (the majority coming from academia). Actually it's very rare to find a paper where largely distributed training is necessary (i.e: the training would fail or would be unreasonably too long). Yes having more money help you to scale your experiments, it's nothing new and it's not something specific to AI.
> DO NOT CHANGE THE CD IN THIS STEREO

Reminds me of working in a big box electronics store during college. One day I answer the phone and the line sounds dead, but I say "hello" a few times and a woman finally acknowledges me and then goes on a long rant about what the world is coming to and she can't believe it. She eventually gets to her relevant question and I answer it. I didn't think too much of it because strange interactions with customers aren't all that rare.

A few hours later I answer another call and it's a teenage boy and he's just laughing but quickly acknowledges me and we sort out his problem. Again, didn't really think too much of it.

The third call I got was from the store manager. "Oh my god. What is going on over there?" "What do you mean?" "Nevermind, go check the hold music CD and change it to something else. Anything else." "Was that it?" "Ya". I go change the CD and carry on.

About an hour later the night shift restock crew comes in. A few minutes later one of them comes out and asks me if I had seen a CD he left in the warehouse CD player last night. My eyes open like I've seen a ghost and he's like, "What?"

The thing you have to know is that the night crew are all West African and they listen to the most hardcore gangster rap you've ever heard in your motherfucking life. The warehouse stereo he's talking about is actually for the store's PBX (phone system). It was in the back warehouse and there was a small bookshelf stereo system next to it with a CD player that was on loop to feed the hold music into the phone system.

After the store closes and the phones stop ringing, the night crew switches the CD to their music. Apparently someone had turned the volume down to take a phone call so they forgot that CD was still in the transport. The amp volume doesn't affect the line out volume so it was still feeding the phone system.

We laughed. Oh, we laughed so hard. Then I paged all the other employees over and told the story and they laughed too. The assistant manager laughed the hardest, then he went and called the store manager. He already knew of course.

The warehouse crew was no longer allowed to use the hold music stereo.
It is too late to edit the link now. The link submitted should really be https://builder.goandmake.app/index.goandmake.html for people to try out the editor and provide feedback. I am particularly interested in whether it works on tablets and smart phones.
Of course they can (and often do).
I believe they both use Lagrange interpolation
I enjoy reading about political news immediately but often times the breaking stories are wildly incorrect/off and I would benefit from more restrained and thoughtful coverage. Taking more time to make decisions rarely leads to bad decisions...
Why does mode of communication matter when the end result is the same - investors being misled on material facts about a company.
That's the difference between Clojure and Haskell mindsets in a nutshell. Clojure approach is to have sane defaults and guide the programmer towards doing the right thing, but ultimately letting them do what they need to. Whether it makes sense to do something or not is context dependent in practice. Ultimately, the person writing the code understands their situation best, and the language shouldn't get in the way of them doing what they need to.

You could of course argue that by preventing the user from doing certain things you avoid some classes of errors. However, I will in turn argue that by forcing the user to write code for the benefit of the type checker often results in convoluted solutions that are hard to understand and maintain. So, you just end up trading one set of problems for another.
Sorry it does not work that way. If not allowed to work legally for such racist reasons they will work for cash on various jobs screwing up poorest of poor American citizens.
Sounds cheaper to just give them VMware fusion and a dev OS image which is mostly identical to the target architecture.

I really don't see why many run their environment on macOS through Homebrew etc which is surely going to require modifications here and there when deploying to Linux servers.
Clearly, he doesn't care that much.
I'm quite disappointed that nobody mentioned Viterbi algorithm, as it's often used together with RS and really interesting.
Our org just implemented this. A script turns off all services in lower environments (dev, qa) at night; another one turns 'em on in the morning. Of course if you need to, you can run your own script to turn on your services "if you need to".

This is being sold as a "step in the right direction", where "right direction" is anything that reduces cloud costs. (Payroll costs are apparently invisible, so the time people waste dealing with this baloney doesn't count. Not to mention the annoyance.)

I'm tempted to point out that they could save a lot more money by merging microservices into macroservices....
He doesn't need to delete it, but if he is going to post market moving information (like production for 2019 is not 400K but 500K) he'd get the approved by someone else like Tesla's GC.
What I had in mind is, you can observe your planet's position and velocity (relative e.g. to center/rotation of the galaxy), and the target planet's relative position and velocity, and use both to translate the observations into virtual "stationary" observations... And "unit of time" would be defined as 1/n of one planetary/galactic revolution, so every observer would be able to calculate their own "galactic time" independently. Well, maybe GPS already does something similar.
There is a specific flavour (or flavours) in cilantro that can only be tasted by certain people. That ability is genetically linked. The flavour apparently tastes like soap. Similarly the ability to smell the really offensive odour of natto is also genetically linked.

However, I think it's a stretch to go from that (the ability to detect certain substances) to the idea that all tastes are genetically linked in a substantial way. For example the rate of ability to detect the soap flavour in cilantro is quite low (between 4-14 percent of the population based on random google searching) -- geographical variations in that ability might affect it's use in regional cuisine, but it's low enough that it might not. Most food doesn't have any similar obnoxious flavours, so I think you are correct that regional variation is more cultural than anything else. For example, the peoples of Korea and Japan are not really so different (and are even very, very close geographically), but Korean food tends to be incredibly spicy while Japanese food is decidedly not spicy.
Again, this is a redefinition of the concept of a WebPKI trust anchor (or, for that matter, of a "trust anchor" in any PKI; it would be equally confusing to describe the Linux kernel as a "trust anchor" in a secret storage or XML signing or inter-services authentication PKI).

If you want to use an idiosyncratic definition of a term, that's fine --- I won't, but I can at least follow the argument. But what you can't do is say "that citation you provided does not say what you said it does" when it clearly does using the mainstream definition of the term. It's especially fallacious to pull out this semantic argument about a reliable source that generates a surprising conclusion about trust anchors!

DNSSEC adds trust anchors to the Web PKI.

Obviously, I disagree with the argument that we "need" DNSSEC to securely issue certificates, but the rest of this thread adequately captures my rebuttals to that argument.
I've got a chocolate covered roach with your name on it! Now lets reconsider the "anything" part shall we.
The notion that the connection pool should be kept small also applies to other databases, such as Oracle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNDnVOCdvQ0
You probably won't get a 56 Gbps network on AWS as used in the article. So it's probably going to take quite a bit longer than 2 minutes.

This also ignores all data transfer & storage costs.
The Meltdown workaround - separate kernel and userspace page tables with %cr3 switched on kernel entry and exit - is responsible for the bulk of the syscall cost increase. That one is entirely fixable in hardware without a significant cost penalty (after all, AMD wasn't affected by that one).

The various kinds of Spectre are harder (and are wider than just the kernel, things like Javascript VMs are also affected), but the cost there is more diffuse.

A second is duration, but we're really interested in instants. Why can't you can define an instant independently of the observers, e.g. in reference to the rotation of the galaxy (i.e. "this happened at angle 37 from Milky Way - Andromeda line, at distance 403 parsecs from Milky Way center, at 692.3 Milky Way rotations since epoch (Big Bang)").
Any breakdowns on cost?

TurboTax Hack: Intuit Says There Was No Data Breach, Users Are Not at Risk
This is true for every employee of every public company on the planet. We're discussing it here because Mr. Musk thinks the rules don't apply to him.
My current understanding of this, combining thoughts on subsumptive robotics and embodied cognition:

Emotional states aren't reified in the brain; they're reified in our physiology. When you're happy, or sad, or scared, or whatever else, that's not a fact about your brain; your brain is just perceiving a fact about your body. (A fact that it worked together with the body to create, but still.)

Think of the brain as the CPU and the body (muscular contraction levels, etc.) as RAM. The brain-as-CPU has registers (informational state held directly in the brain), but your emotions are not held directly in such registers. Emotional states are, instead, patterns of information in the body-as-RAM, that the brain-as-CPU (statelessly) perceives [loads from, polls] in an ongoing way. If the body-as-RAM is polled and shows a certain recognizable pattern of activations, then that is interpreted by the brain as a certain emotional state.

Both the brain-as-CPU and various body parts (devices on the bus) can write to the body-as-RAM. The brain-as-CPU will then notice that the "emotional state" that it reads from the body-as-RAM has changed, and may do something about it (reinforce the change, counteract it, etc.)

What you experience as the qualia of emotion, is the brain's perception of the body-as-RAM, the same one it uses to decide whether to "do something about it."
