> There is a goal, but no way; but what we call a way is hesitation.

-- Franz Kafka

And it just occured to me that the following quote expresses exactly what I'm trying to say if you change "loving" to "solving problems impacting poor people and future generations, and not creating them by running away from other problems or just out of sheer selfishness or boredom". I put it like thast because it's already acceptable to "look out for number one", it's just the "irrational" stuff, having caring about people who don't even exist yet, as well as animals and plants that can't even sue us, that we are still having problems with.

> Because one does not see that love is an activity, a power of the soul, one believes that all that is necessary to find is the right object - and that everything goes by itself afterward. This attitude can be compared to that of the man who wants to paint but who, instead of learning the art, claims that he just has to wait for the right object - and that he will paint beautifully when he finds it.

- Erich Fromm

Yes, we need big solutions, of course this can't be solved by people just buying a little less and recycling. But still, I kinda feel it's weird to think assume we would do the right thing at large scale, if only we knew the exact right thing to tackle, when we aren't even doing it at smaller (and supposedly easier) scale.

Sorry for basically just posting a bunch of quotes, but now that I thought of it, it just seems too fitting not to:

> A tiger catches a mouse with his whole strength. A tiger does not ignore or slight any small animal. The way he catches a mouse and the way he catches and devours a cow is the same. But usually, although you have many problems, you think they are minor, so you don’t think it is necessary to exert yourself... So even though the problems you have in your everyday life are small, unless you know how to solve them you will have big difficulties.

-- Shunryu Suzuki
One of the main reason that the hygienic behaviour from apis melifera is far from perfect is that they didn't have the need to.

There are so many ways they are treated for varroa all year round (except high season) with "chemicals". They were simply not forced to develop a distinct hygienic behaviour. But every treatment damages the hive and puts the bees on risk.

Thats why, in the last years, the selected breeding "movement" started growing.

There is some "eco-friendly" spray that can incite the bees to clean themselves. It is not as effective as other methods against Varroa. You probably want the adult bees to clean the pupae as well somehow, the biggest problem is when the mites mess up the pupae - you can end up with a population of crippled bees that stands no chance of surviving.

The problem is that to fight against Varroa effectively, all the beekeepers in the area have to fight Varroa. That just doesn't happen, so I feel like natural selection will be the way out.
Yeah, but that would require people understand big numbers. Million, billion, trillion, what's the difference?

I read a story about in a Danish paper, maybe half a year back. I can’t find the link for it unfortunately, but the general consensus is that it hasn’t stopped at all.

It also outlined how it was affecting everyone. Basically those troll factories will post a bunch of stuff in various internet communities, and then they’ll use data analytics to see what worked and double down on the susceptible communities.

The journalists and their scientific sources weren’t able to find a specific agenda outside of “Russia good, west bad”, because they’d target everything from debates on avocado toasts to making political sides hate each other.

I personally think that is what is so dangerous about it. I mean, looking beyond governments there is a massive application possibility for this in hidden advertising, and how can you really tell if a person on HN is authentic or on some agenda?

There already is a road there. That’s the whole point. It’s one of the busiest in SW England and it is only ~200m away from the monument. The whole area (I.e. the “view”) is a protected historic landscape and it is blighted by the road. The plan is expensive because it is a bored tunnel. It is where the entrances of the tunnel are that is controversial - the middle of the tunnel will be deeper than the archaeology.

Rainbow: Side-Channel Analysis Simulation Tool
This is completely wrong.

I work in the field, and the way it works is like this, in this order:

1) Someone works out how to do something

2) Someone works out how to improve the accuracy

3) The accuracy maxes out

4) People improve training efficiency.

We see this over and over again. Take a look at the FastAI results on ImageNet training speed for example.

> Reproduction permit auctions are incompatible with the current release of ethics.

Care to expand on that? I haven't thought it through very deeply, but are there some options that could be ethically acceptable? Reproducing until we run out of resources doesn't seem like a great alternative and I struggle to see that as more ethical.

Personally I think that monetary incentives not to reproduce could be a good option.

I got more intense results from intentionally shallow models such as only training on the work of a single author but then letting the shallow training run for long periods. What I got was sometimes useless but sometimes amazing stuff. It came up with a strange kind of plotline and even characters that were kind of like the source author but it was still a unique piece of work. It has its own voice that I think you lose when the model uses too many sources.
Thank you very much! I really wanted to see more writing on the internet around Mithril -- it seems it's like lisp in the way that most people who are using it productively are just doing heads down working on stuff.

> Since I come across Mithril I have used it exclusively on all internal projects at our agency and haven't looked back.

I'd love to see some writing on some of the patterns you've developed with it! Also, it might be cool for mithril to have a "trusted by" section on their main page to showcase some companies that use mithril to increase trust for people who wander in (though I'm also OK with mithril not having this section -- it's a bit overly-prodcuty and distracting).

Thanks a ton for the references, looking up all those things right now, looks like more pieces of the Mithril ecosystem that I've never heard of. Patchinko looks super useful (I'm surprised I've never needed something like this in the past...), and Meiosis looks like a simpler version of the reactive/flux pattern, and looks interesting to me since it's cross-framework!
That is a very 'signals' based interpretation of the convolution theorem [1] applied to binary functions.

In essence, the fourier-transform is based on convolutions. F(eta) is essentially the convolution of f(x) with sin(eta x).* This is very loosely why the convolution theorem works.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_theorem

* This excludes all cosine parts of the transform. Its neater to work in the complex domain and state that:

F(eta) = f(x) convolved with e^(eta i x)
> - ME can't actually be disabled completely according to Qubes OS founder Joanna.

In case you're referring to her article titled "Intel x86 considered harmful"[1] it's worth noting that she only speculated the following:

> A large part of the ME firmware is stored on an SPI flash chip, which admittedly could be reprogrammed using a standard EEPROM programming device to wipe all the ME partition from the flash. But this approach does not have a good chance of succeeding. This is because the processor itself contains an internal boot ROM [37] which is tasked with loading and verifying the rest of the ME code. In case the bootloader is not able to find or verify the signature on the ME firmware, the platform will shutdown.

However, if I understand correctly, that's exactly what Youness Alaoui[1] at Purism did.

For all those complaining about the cost:

FastAI trained RestNet-50 to 93% accuracy in 18 minutes for $48[1] using the same code which can be run on your own GPU machine.

If you want to do it cheaper and faster, you can do the same for in 9 minutes for $12 on Googles (publicaly available) TPUv2s.

This isn't a monopolization of AI, it is the opposite.

Protein? There's 25g of protein in 100g of raw lentils. Cooking increases water content, but protein is not an issue. Especially for vegetarians that gorge on milk and eggs.

Still, eating less meat would not help at all. Biggest polluters and energy users are industries not related to food.

Individuals are not to blame for their consumption, unless we blame them for adjusting their morals to fit their immoral companies.

> JSX is a simple wrapper around a JS call, it is trivial to mentally convert from JSX to what the real JS is.

Then maybe it is an indication is not worth very much. Why not using something like hyperscript instead if it is just some javascript.

> JSX is also super copy-pastable. Less logic and all that.

In my experience the copy-paste-reuse in FE is a red herring. And React is no exception. And a logic less templating is not necessarily helping with a flexible/reusable piece of code.

> JSX being simple also makes the learning curve simple.

Not so sure about that. I think I would have personally preferred not having to learn a new DSL if some basic function call in Javascript can do the same job.

I guess I have been scared by colleagues using ugly ternary operator expressions with React.

I also used so many template languages in the past: PHP, Django, Pug, Rails, etc, etc. That I try to reproduce similar features/mistakes.
No, you're not stupid.

"Skip" implies moving to the next item "Skip to results" is a confusing way to phrase it. I guess "Go to results" would've made more sense. Weirdly, the actual skip button is labeled "Show Me Another".

Apparently, it happened to a lot of people. It's bad UX in an otherwise amazingly designed article.

Separating the storage layer from the database and query layer seems to be the future of databases - there's no reason for every database to re-implement the storage and replication layer just to provide a different query language or data model. This is also what makes FoundationDB so attractive for me. Are there any other large projects doing this?
As others have said, matching cuts is very similar to genome matching. In genome matching, often genes are slightly offset, so there is need to correct for that.

Matching speed might be possible based on first matching runs of one minute, and then trying to scale with that minute as a fixed point to see which scale works out. Perhaps some heuristics to take common frame rate-ratios into account might help.

An even crazier idea:

Use the fact that scaling becomes shifting after a logarithm, and try to match after setting g(x) = f(log(x)).

That is assuming that people on mars will have 24hr and 37 min clocks instead of 24hr.

The only thing that will be different on Mars would be that the sunrise will change 37 minutes everyday. Weird indeed.
Your last sentence reminds me of a common comment on the subreddit hailcorporate. If people talk about brands authentically they become ads. just because people submit things that look like ads doesn't mean they are paid to do so.

I dont think so; it's a one time investment for clips your kids might watch dozens of times.

Spend an afternoon ripping them and have them watch it every now and then over the next year.

this article’s reputability is immediately damaged by the statement that intolerable cruelty is a bad film. just because it is a romantic comedy, a romcom, people immediately dismiss its brilliance. intolerable cruelty is hilarious and very much in the center of what the coen brothers do best. there is some fantastic dialogue and the on screen compatibility between the actors is fantastic.

“freddie...it’s a negotiation.”

reading further, i don’t think this person knows anything about the coens. o brother, where art thou is not really an adaptation of as much as it is inspired by homer. no country for old men is almost a direct copy of cormac mccarthy’s book. irreverent is a strange way to describe that film’s handling of the book’s story. and in talking about “true adaptations”, the author fails to mention true grit, which is even more of a direct translation to film of its source material.
Loss means more really. A good engine can compensate and predict very well with variable latency and jitter. You probably know that the quality of the connection matters more than the speed. You could have a 5/5 connection but have great quality and have a great ping. My town has two ISPs, spectrum and a local fiber optic provider. Spectrum has horrible bufferbloat on their connection and wildly variable ping. The local fiber has a literally flawless connection to everything and is cheaper and faster. Pretty much every game I get a 15ms ping or less.
Fintest – Could you pass a personal finance Stress Test? (fintest.co)
Hi NH! I’ve been working for 5 years in banking, concretely, with the supervisory stress tests of banks conducted by the Federal Reserve and the BCE (in Europe).
A bank stress test is an analysis conducted under hypothetical unfavorable economic scenarios, such as a deep recession or financial crisis, designed to determine whether a bank has enough capital to withstand the impact of adverse economic developments.
I was wondering why not to apply this process to the personal finance and I made Fintest(just a MVP). This is my second entrepreneurial venture,
Fintest takes a holistic view of your finances to make sure you’re not only financially stablebut able to handle almost anything thrown your way. With this in mind, I’ve created a model which starting from macroeconomic scenarios and risk events (parameterizable), stress your money and push you into crash mode, and then, it will help you cope or recover from that.
I’m trying to fill this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1trnSlygwvvPW739b_CJZS65mxoQMvseeuLr1m4WmnL4/edit?usp=sharing) to know what other common situations could cause money stress in a ordinary person and what factors I should consider in my model to give a final score. Please, help me build the definitive list of risk factors or other ideas related to this.
I’m not concerned about how to monetize this yet, first I want to check if it can be interesting but I have some ideas:
Option 1:
- Individuals plan: Saas Model. Free, standard and premium.
- Company plan: Saas Model. Free, standard and premium. (Not available initially).
Option 2:
- Free test with a rating and main conclusions of your finance in stress.
- If you want to a detailed analysis go premium, just XX $ a year, two tests a year or it there is important changes in the economy. Newsletter monthly with financial advices.
Create your own scenarios and risks events.

Any other ideas? Any advice is highly appreciated.
