> The basic idea for me with cryptocurrency is that since it's our money we shouldn't have to give control of it to third parties just for basic usage. We have math, the internet, and plenty of computers. We should not need Visa or Coinbase.

How does this give them control? As long as it still use/depends on the Bitcoin network, you still have control.

If anything, this show how cryptocurrency are amazing. Both the little guys and the big guys can use it, even you.

Cryptocurrencies has the potential to solve 2 things I believe is extremely essential this day in age.
- Everyone can use them
- Every amount can be used

I simply can't do a Visa transaction of 1 cent... simply can't... A child can't use Visa either. Both situations will happens more and more with the internet.
Correct - for go, we would canonically use struct{} which occupies zero bytes of storage.

Thanks for your interest Goldemerald. A couple of comments:

- We do use DL. I didn't mention it because it is not relevant in the context of the post;

- How we use DL. One of the jobs of the graph is to tell the DL algorithm what content needs what type of descriptors. The graph can do this thanks to the different levels in our ontology, and because it understands our content in its context: it understands people's interaction and tagging. DL is a small part in our entire infrastructure;

- The DL market. Lots of companies use DL to identify attributes in an image, and the level they achieve is impressive. Having had long discussions with the best of these companies, I can tell you that building the correct ontology is nearly impossible without the entire infrastructure. We are happy building the intelligence that tells DL what to do, and then attaches descriptors correctly to outfits and taste profiles;

- Our patents. They cover a few relevant aspects in the online fashion market: a system to tag fashion images with shoppable products; a system and method to capture/understand how people mix and match clothes in outfits and closets; and more.

It's not just Slack. It's our phones! Notifications are distraction engines.

At the beginning of March, I went cold turkey on most social media (I still allow myself HN and a guitar player's forum), and completely cold turkey on using my phone for these things - I have to use an actual computer. I put Kindle where Facebook used to be on my phone, and always have a book on it that can be read in small bites for those "OMG I AM BORED FOR TWO MINUTES" moments, and I carry a Kindle Paperwhite with longer-form reading for lunchtime and such.

My brain feels amazingly different. I'm more aware and happier. I'm getting more work done. My stress levels are way down. My book-reading rate has at least tripled.

This article refers a lot to Cal Newport's excellent Deep Work, but I wish it also referred to his more recent Digital Minimalism, which is full of useful advice for limiting the ways social media and instant messaging undermine our productivity and happiness.
Yes, one of the main goals of EdgeDB is to provide improved ergonomics and productivity through a modernized data model and query language. And do that without a significant performance cost.

Lower performance in benchmarks is explained by an I/O bottleneck in the EdgeDB server, the queries are not less efficient. There will be performance improvements in subsequent releases.
I crashed my car this way, but the game I was playing a lot was need for speed underground (I drove my exact car on the game). Was getting onto the freeway in Palo Alto, drifted right into the side of the onramp. As I was about to hit the wall my mind snapped out of it and I realized I can’t slide off the wall in real life, but it was also too late to stop.
brilliant, does this work? It makes sense, great little hack
Have you ever driven without getting a full night's sleep? Wouldn't you consider that the same kind of offense since it reduces your reaction time and focus?

I'd like to see some data on the increased risks of driving while under the influence of marijuana before I lump it in with alcohol but saying that ANY reduction in focus or coordination means you are a threat to other drivers doesn't seem rational as long as you are still above a minimum threshold.

This is almost too obvious to be said but... The brain is REALLY REALLY freaking complicated.

I'm sure ECT can be misused by jerks on power trips, incompetent quacks, and grifters out to make a buck. I also appreciate that some people have suffered from awful side effects from ECT—and other treatments. I don't want to trivialize that at all.

Nevertheless, I want to emphasize that the vast majority of clinicians and researchers are doing the best they can. Depression can be very debilitating and the tools we have for dealing with it are not great. ECT is one of them. It works well for some people but not others, much like many of the drugs and behavioral therapies, and no one really understands why. We would love to have better options, and a lot of very smart, very hardworking people (and me!) have bene working hard to figure out how the brain works, how it can go wrong, and how to restore function when they do.
Have you actually checked the ground for continuity? IN my house, I found that many of the upstairs outlets (wired with BX) had their grounds bonded to the water pipes in my house, instead of run directly to the box, and then the water pipe was bonded to the box down near the service entrance.

Unfortunately, there was no ground continuity because at some point a pipe segment had been replaced with PVC instead of copper and the continuity ended. Bonding grounds to pipes was very common in older houses and is a common source of bad ground loops and electrical noise.
The relevant US law with the death penalty is the Espionage Act from 1917, Section 704. It prohibits anyone from obtaining national defense–related information and making national defense–related information available to a foreign government.

Due to this the UK is disallow to extradite him, because that are the exact allegations prominent US politicians and lawmakers accuse him of.
This is the standard everywhere in Europe, with separated earth and neutral wires which are connected and grounded somewhere farther. It is done for a purpose and not a problem when done properly. The resistance nor inductance is never enough to allow so high potential, even at kHz frequencies of switching power supplies. So this indicates a problem on earth wire that should be fixed by a professional, not by blindly adding some makeshift earthing.

Massless particles exist, and I believe this goes to the concept that particle and anti-particle pairs exist everywhere, and annihilate each other very very fast.

If you put an object into empty space, sunlight will hit it and get hot. Don't have an object in empty space? Something has to be there.

It might be part of that region in space, or it might be some property of the object emitting energy.

It help me to think of this as a model. It works, whether we have an intuitive understanding of it or not. Light comes on, wall gets bright. Whether it's ripples in a connected medium, or collisions between little projectiles, we know it's always going to be the same.

What I'm thinking about is if black holes are not really black and have some light to them, can suns sort of be black holes too? Can we thread particles around it's outer orbit, to gain control of the gravity internal to the star, and also pull out more from what's around it?

It's also very interesting to me how so much of this stuff about body language is now shrouded in, well, if not "shame", then at least embarrassment. All because the pick-up artist community has relentlessly focused on body language as some magical panacea to anyone's romantic woes.

This is one of the few blog posts I've read that talks about body language from a purely social perspective.

I wish there was more content like this on social norms, extroversion, and social signalling that didn't go at all into strange PUA themes.
For a bit of context for the following, I've been working remote for years, five years in my previous company and one in the current one.

The previous company did not use Slack. We used XMPP for one-on-one IMing (we did have chat rooms but nobody used them), physical desk phones for meetings or high-bandwidth chats, and email for everything else. The current company uses Slack and Zoom for meetings.

There's a big difference between the two companies in socialization and how they feel, and I put it down to Slack. The old company mainly had one-on-one chats with anything involving more people being done through well-thought-out emails, whereas this one is pretty much exclusively chat rooms.

This has the effect that you talk about work and only work, as you don't have that dead time after you're finished talking about the thing you need to say "what's new with you?". Instead of privately talking to your coworker and being able to be sincere, you're yelling your conversation all around the room so the interaction is pretty much going to be confined to work stuff.

If you're starting now, I would wholeheartedly recommend getting your communications mostly one-on-one, and using something like Zulip for company communications, which has the feel of email but with a better UI. I also cannot recommend getting physical phones enough, they worked so much better than mobile phones or Zoom that they crossed the barrier of inconvenience, which meant we talked to each other much more often.

It's not a huge hassle to get a Zoom going, but it is some hassle, and headphones/etc are enough to dissuade us from just picking up the phone and calling each other. Desk phones (connected to our PBX) were so seamless that you pressed a button and were connected to your coworker instantly, with amazing sound quality, a microphone that picked your voice up perfectly from anywhere in the room and a physical mute button.

I should write an article about this, actually.
It probably starts from near-earth work to maintain Earth-orbiting infrastructure - refueling satellites without lugging fuel up Earth's gravity well. Then probably manufacturing in-orbit for similar cost savings on launch. And once there's that little bit of industrial base, the most likely driver of larger-scale industrialization is mining of elements that are rare on Earth and industrially useful (osmium, rhenium, iridium, etc.).
Then turn on notifications for when you are @mentioned, or specific important channels. If someone really wants to get your attention, they can. The noise is filtered out and doesn't reach you unless you reach for it.
How would you define rotations using only the wedge product? It is also terribly useful being able to invert these rotations. You could make it work in some way, but it is not clear to me that the result will be simpler than a GA (or quaternion) based approach.

Now that you mention that i've absolutely felt that from VR! In my case it was because I got so used to the ability to point at something, "grab" it in the distance, then float it to my hand, that I tried to do it at one point to a can of soda in real life and felt really dumb!
Or, as I always say when this comes up, start with a base on the top of Mt Everest. Much more similar to Mars, and definitely cheaper to try. With all the challenges of no breathable air, storms, inhospitable rocky terrain, bleak environment.

If this seems ridiculous or impossible, then that's the state of our Mars colony ambitions as well.
I live in Kalamazoo and know people both who survived and were killed in that attack. At least our community responded positively with new passing distance laws and broad community support.

ETA: I should mention that I got hit and run on my bicycle by a drunk driver years before the mass murder. My friends tracked down the driver, the police took statements, viewed the damage to the car exactly as I described it, driver matched the description my riding partner and I gave, and the prosecutor still declined to press charges. It wasn't a no-harm-no-foul thing either, I was pretty severely injured. Still pretty sore about that.
I’ve actually tried that and variations of that, and I’m not going to lie, it’s about as aesthetically pleasing to the eye as going back to Roman numerals.
Ah. That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
I see this as highlighting something else - differing philisophies with goals and values and talking past one another. Many in software aren't interested in optimizing career itself but the skills for their own sake.

Similiarly "outcomeism" vs "skills" is another area of differences in views. Talking only of outcomes to a skills person can seem charlatanish - making promises without the hows and important fine distinctions. Similiarly to the outcomes skills details don't matter - while ignoring the details which lead to the outcome and even treating them with contempt.
At what point does an "introvert" become a "loner"? Or are all introverts loners by definition?

Ah come on, be fair. Every psychiatric disorder has a pretty high chance of getting resolved without any action from outside. Very few people actually succumb to them.

Furthermore, especially with psychiatric disorders, there is a high percentage of patients that aren't helped, but exactly the opposite, by treatment. That systematically get worse because of treatment.

(I do not claim this is easy or pleasant for the patient, merely that it happens. Furthermore in the more common cases where treatment makes the patient worse it is also incredibly unpleasant, unfair and entirely terrible for the patient)

(and of course you could correctly claim that this is even true for cancer, and it is. However for cancer the percentage of patients that get better without treatment is something like 0.2% up to 4% depending on the cancer, whereas for psychiatric disorders the amount of people that recover without treatment is easily > 90%)

No, but if one crashes in the ocean, sinks, and SpaceX does not attempt to salvage it, it legally becomes a derelict and the property of whoever who goes lift it up.
DNS delegation errors are kind of rare. There are so many configuration errors in web deployment, and the most common errors I see which causes websites to be inaccessible are misconfigured certificates where:

• You get the default certificate for the web server rather than the correct one for the vhost.

• You have a redirect from www->bare or bare->www and the redirect vhost don't have a certificate.

• The certificate don't include the www subdomain name.

• A wild card certificate doesn't include the bare name.

• There are multiple web servers listed in DNS but only a subset has a correct HTTPS configuration.
There is no money in spreading good news. "Feel-good" stories on network news are basically always sandwiched between horrific tales of violence and death, or used as a capstone afterwards to make you not completely want to kill yourself from watching.

Just watch/read less news. The world is a complex place and any individual shouldn't be expected to grapple with the tragedies that occur daily across the entire planet. There's no reason to carry that weight on your shoulders, especially when you're powerless to change any of it and have your own life and the lives of loved ones to care about.

interesting paper but where is the code? I am not familiar w/ DPDK but how would the control path of demikernel configure a dpdk device so that it can service multiple applications. perhaps this isn't necessary for DPDK?

It is hard to take this paper seriously if it is just a thought experiment and they haven't actually implemented Demikernel. In figure 3 there is a list of the syscalls but that isn't enough to convince me that they have actually implemented Demikernel.

There is already an undersea base for training astronauts for the ISS. There is also the ISS, which is already a significantly more challenging environment than Everest. Although it would be nice to have scientific outposts in all of these places, one must bear in mind that these things are very expensive, so the cost/benefit of the scientific value has to be weighed carefully. The cheapest option is not always the best value.

A lunar space station called LOP-G (lunar orbital platform gateway) is presently planned, and although it is a "smaller step" it is being widely attacked for not being useful.

For interstellar distances I'd go with Greg Egan's Diaspora and Accelerando by Charlie Stross and assume that interstellar distances could only be achieved with uploaded minds - bags of meat and fluid being far too big, slow and delicate for the energies and distances involved.

Training is to feed in thousands of sets of {sparse sample of actual image, actual image}. The model is adjusted until the total difference between the output image and the actual image is minimized across all training images.

The output images are approximately the same because the model is "looking" at training images at a lower level that we do. The talk says they chop the images up into small pieces. So the model never "sees" the full shapes that are in the full images. It only sees small local features. I guess it turns out that these smaller pieces are pretty generic in that they are common between images of black holes and everything else. The curve of an elephant trunk looks similar to the curve of an event horizon if you cut it out in a small enough piece.

Perhaps if they didnt do this step, then the model would be more sensitive to the images its trained on.
