I'd be curious if everyone is also experiencing the so called "the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect" in the same way Crichton describes.

In my own areas of expertise -- data analysis and economics -- the answer is "Yes, very much so". Certainly there are pockets of high quality writing, but that mostly comes from experts writing on their own blogs in their own areas of expertise, or from periodic guest articles by the same experts. Mainstream economics writing is, as a rule, terrible. Statistical literacy is arguably even worse.

What's it like for everyone else? What's your area of expertise and is this endemic to your field?

If I used data to find people who were starting to lean into anti-vax conspiracies and provided them with accurate information about vaccines to change the behaviour of some parents - is that straight up evil?

How about identifying people who are likely to fall for a scam (e.g. whose friends have just invested in a Ponzi scheme) and give them info on how to avoid a scam?

Straight up evil is massively overplaying it.
To be clear, you're still processing the same file. You're just not processing all of it for the sake of efficiency. If you want to get into the very technical details, then it depends very heavily on what type of codec you're using since some codecs interleave video and audio data, while modern codecs generally don't (and in fact require separate audio and video codecs).

Consider this another way: is a web browser infringing a website's copyright when it makes a "derivative work" of the page by blocking the ads on it?

Yes, under copyright law, since the article and the page are separate copyrightable works. The question is does a fair use exception apply? (For something like reader mode, the answer is likely yes, but it gets more complicated for an ad-blocker that just removes ads while retaining other elements of the page.)

Or, hopefully even clearer: is a CD player infringing the CD's copyright when it applies an EQ preset to the audio as it plays it?

No, the CD player isn't a person and isn't infringing anything. The user of the CD player is creating a derivative work by applying an EQ. An analogous case (several actually) discusses this point with respect to running computer software. Courts ruled that the copy was necessary for a user to "enjoy" (make use of) their license. And with respect to the EQ, a fair use exception would apply. And even if it didn't, then a compulsory license would apply (in the US at least), and you would owe the song creator a fraction of a fraction of a penny for every performance.

There's a very fine point I'm trying to gesture at here—the point where something goes from being "the creation of an infringing derivative work" to "the way that a device which reproduces the work for the purpose of consumption, chooses to do that reproduction."

No, it's actually a very bright line. Either you're working with the original, or you're working with a derivative work. The question is whether your use of the derivative work you've created is covered by the license, or by fair use.

Secrets like this need to be out in the open.
I think it is not state spread vs. federal, but more like state spread -> federal. Disclaimer: talking about the US.

For something simple that can stand on its own, that was what we saw with gay marriage and, I personally believe, what we will see with cannabis legalization.

For something as complex and interconnected as property taxes, I don't think it will be that easy to convert it to federal, so state spread is what we can hope for in the near future. An example of a similar issue is income taxing, where we ended up with a two-tiered solution: one federal (same for every state) + one state (differs for each state, with some having none at all).
It's more complicated than that.

Auto-generated captions (something I deal with on a regular basis as I do create video courses) tend to be horrendously bad in quality even on major platforms. Especially with tech content (even if you talk crystal clear).

Auto-generated captions that came out bad leaves both the reader wondering what "jean kids" means when you really said "jenkins" and it also de-values the content creator's brand because now you think "how did such crappy captions make their way into this video?".

Now with that said, I'm all for providing human created / vetted captions that are accurate, but that should be up to the content creator to decide.
Fake news is not new. It is at least as old as the oldest written texts. The religions of the world are the largest fake news outlets out there, and those are going along just fine. I mean they kind of have to be - even if you do believe in one of them the rest must be concluded as millenia old fake news.

"Our times are different" thrown around without care is a very widespread cognitive error.

[Not trying to argue against Esperanto's Slavic influence, just having fun and being pedantic]

Yes, the fact that English has a tense/lax vowel distinction rather than long/short is very unusual.

My English dialect (Providence) has five tense-lax pairs (ɑː/æ, eɪ/ɛ, iː/ɪ, oʊ/ɔ, uː/ʊ), a central unrounded vowel (ʌ), and three diphthongs (ɔɪ, aɪ, aʊ), so arguably fourteen "vowel sounds" (General American merges ɑː and ɔ, bringing the total down to thirteen). Which is a lot, by any measure! And many European languages do have much simpler systems, famously Spanish.

However, Esperanto has its five pure vowels as well as six dipthongs (ai, ei, oi, ui, ou, eu), for a total of eleven, which is hardly "half as many"!
Well, Amazon is making the audiobooks more useful. I think that's why you're being downvoted.
Excellent work, and indeed it sounds pretty much neutral. One question though: I always thought Esperanto pronunciation and letters map quite one-to-one with Turkish, have you considered basing your work on Turkish instead of Polish?

Except ŭ, Esperanto vowels have exactly the same sound as they do in Turkish. Among the consonants, ĥ and c don't map, but all others do. Even ĉ, ŝ, ĝ and ĵ map to one specific letter with the identical sound.
Would love to see a gradually increasing tax on unused/underused property - so small time landlords who lose a lease aren't screwed over but no one should be leaving storefronts empty for years

It's terrible in Toronto, you'll see complete sections of the street literally empty since there's so many tax benefits for empty commercial-retail space
I enjoyed the book immensely, but I think its overall tone is destructive of goodwill towards activism in AGW, and it was hugely selective in its use of statistics. Crichton, had he lived, might well have come to regret this book more than others, although I guess he too might have been subject to confirmation bias on things.
I'd love to know what percentage of the population has any interest in self-directed learning.

It may well be smaller than we hope. And HN - probably software in general - is unlikely to be representative of the population median.
ok so 'educational' and 'meaningfull' without small tidbits... so off the boat falls 'no such thing as a fish' (still quite fun and laden with small factoids), and also you probably already have 'reply all' and 'love+radio' since it's tech-inspired.
I really like
'Benjamin Walker's theory of everything'
has some tech in there, but more with an art-eye.
I would say 'making sense' which I lately discovered as really insightfull and in-depth, but it's more interview/dialogue style.
I also like 'the memory palace' and 'the organist'.
also still great, but more tidbitty: radiolab, and it's sister podcast 'invisibilia', then also 'freakonomics' and 'planet money'.
Have fun! like to hear if any of that was useful to ya
Putin might win; Putin's party ("United Russia") is not so popular, has a lot of negative opinions, has dubious people (e.g. a government official having lot of expensive real estate which cannot be bought with their declared income), has lot of people who are incompetent and who are kept for their loyality.

If they could win easily, why would they falsify election results or ban opposition candidates? They don't want to play fair.

This is actually a problem for Putin, that he has certain popularity and trust, but it isn't transferred to people from his party, to governors etc.
> Today the situation is actually better and with RISC-V having the same memory model as Arm, porting from an Arm version is way easier (Neon code not withstanding)

It's really not any different today than it was. The memory model being similar is kinda nice, but you still need to convince the world to compile for another arch. And you need to make a CPU good enough to justify the recompile and ongoing multi-arch maintenance.
Most c libraries have architecture-specific, hand-written assembly copies of strlen and have had them for decades. This includes glibc, almost from the day this particular function was checked in.

In other words, there actually is an SSE/SSE2/AVX implementation in glibc.

This copy in plain C is the fall-back to if the porter didn't implement strlen in assembly for the architecture they were porting to.

It is a reasonable guess at a somewhat architecturally-independent fast implementation. If someone really cares about squeezing all the performance they could out of strlen, they implement the assembly version.

Beyond that, many architectures that gcc supports don't include prefetchers, vector units and all the rest. The world is not all x86.
I wanted to like black but can’t get over the double quote default. I like that they justify it with the less ambiguity and the ability to not have to escape single quotes. I even like their proposed fix of just code with singles and reformat into double.

But I don’t like unnecessary different levels of reality (code one way, commit another) and hitting shift quote all those times sucks.

It’s funny how an “opinionated formatter” sounds great in theory until you realize the opinion is “wrong.”
>But they are infringing on the copyright of the work.

They are infringing in the same way as pen and paper companies are infringing when you hand-write the contents of an audiobook on paper for personal consumption. I believe that most people would consider this being an allowable thing to do.
Here is one from a discussion in French about the recipe (automatic translation, but it seems ok)

In order to match the capacities of a robot and a household oven, let's start with 500g of flour, which will give you 4 baguettes of about 40 centimetres, the following recipe:
Flour T65: 500g
Water: 330 g
Baker's yeast: 10g
Salt: 9g

The French poolish is prepared from half the pouring water of the basic recipe; the equivalent quantity of flour is then added.
This gives us for our poolish:
Water: 165g (330g/2)
Flour T65 : 165g

We then have to add yeast to ferment our water-flour mixture. The amount of yeast depends directly on the time we allow our poolish to ferment at room temperature (generally from 3am to 6pm).
The quantities of yeast (per litre of water) are as follows: 3H: 15g 5H: 8g 8H: 5g 15H: 1 to 2g
Let's keep it overnight, about 12 hours, which will give a quantity of yeast of about 2g per liter of water. As we put 165g of water (or 0.165l), the amount of yeast will be 0.33g.
We see that the amount of yeast to put in a poolish over 12 hours is almost infinitesimal
So let's go back to our poolish recipe which will be:
Water: 165g
Flour T65 : 165g
Baker's yeast: 0.3g
Note that you never put salt in the poolish
Mix everything together, cover with a cloth and leave to work overnight.
The next morning you will see your poolish full of bubbles and slightly dug in its center, a sign that it is ready. I invite you to smell the wonder you have just produced....

You will now have to add your poolish to your bread dough ingredients.
All you have to do is take the basic recipe and deduct the quantities used for your poolish, i.e.:
Flour T65: 335g (500g - the 165g of the poolish)
Water: 165g (330g - the 165g of the poolish)
Baker's yeast: 9.7g (10g - the 0.3g of the poolish), which can be rounded to 9g
Salt: 9g
and we add our entire poolish to it.
Then continue in the classic way.
Remember to cover the dough and dough pieces well during rest periods to prevent them from crushing.
Don't hesitate to bake your bread well; barely browned white bread seems to be out of fashion (except in baking terminals and supermarkets) and that's good.
We buy a bunch and freeze the ones we don't use. Pop it back in the oven for 20m and you have something almost as good as first-day bread. For convenience (it reduces quality a bit) we pre-cut some of the ones to be frozen so we can just pop them in the toaster oven.
The Existential Consequences of Lab Errors
Arguably it could be fair use but strictly speaking it's copyright infringement.

It's generally not worth the copyright owner's resources to pursue something like that unless it's happening on a much larger scale.
Doesn’t WINE support 16-bit emulation for Win311-stuff because you can’t run 16-bit code in x64 mode? Or was that a Windows limitation?
The Teach Lead Got Fired from Facebook (For Having a YouTube Channel)
You are correct the message being sent is the issue.

- Do you tell population a and population b contradictory things?

- Do you spread what you know is misinformation?

- Do you attempt to manipulate someone into working against their own interests. For example tricking a population whose interests and preference can best be expressed as A over B over C into voting for A so that C can win.

- Is your messaging a net harm to society? Deliberately playing up racial tensions to both sides determent for votes seems to fit the bill.

- Are you actual intents hidden because your interests are actually at odds with your target and they would act materially different if they understood your actual motivation?

The democratic usage of data appears to be primarily based on figuring out who could effectively message and the republican usage seems to be figuring out who they could manipulate and harm.

It's not that hard to see the difference.
>are there foundaries in China that can produce the chips necessary while ignoring foreign patents?

Realistically, no. The only two competitive, bleeding edge foundries are TSMC and Samsung.
May be it's true for Europe, but in my country they're re-building roads every few years. Not sure if they are agile or just corrupt...
It's more C++ vs CUDA than C++ vs JVM.
Let's not jump to conclusions - I never said anything about tasting better. What I said was that the quality of the bird with regard to health is likely very different. I also never said I'm eating any of those things. In fact I don't eat red or white meat at all anymore. And that's my point. Why eat sub-par quality meats when there are better alternatives that are cheaper or similarly priced? If I did still eat meat I surely wouldn't be wasting money on eating low quality meat on a daily basis and instead eat it less often but buy better.

Your request doesn't have an objective answer, so I'm not sure what you were looking for other than to present something indefensible. But, you also gloss over the main points of how "shitty" this practice is for the environment and instead you try to deflect with a backhanded "you're wealthy" comment.

At least I presented some points to the conversation.
I wonder if it would be feasible to replace the steel reinforcement rods with ceramic? No iron no rust.

I also wonder if concrete might bond better with ceramic. My understanding is that concrete does not bond well with steel.
as a child I always thought hypnosis implied a state in which you can program a person to 1) do things 2) even if they are against their own interest, 3) immediately or at a later time, without them remembering 4) the cause being hypnosis, or 5) anything about the period under hypnosis, or 6) to recall information that is inaccessible to the unhypnotised brain...

over time I have seen the claim being totally watered down to apparently just intimidating a creature with primal fear for fun and profit.

Sure, but then they will vote against you, and you won't get your way, because they are more civically-active than you, or out-number you, or whatever.

Do you want to be right, or do you want to get your way?

There's also an issue of fairness, in that people made choices based on the deals they were offered under the rules which were active at the time.
You'll want the Raspberry Pi 4. The 3B+ is not powerful enough for plenty of games.

Yes I had this exact experience. Since the news can't report correctly the things I do understand I have to assume they are misreporting the things I don't understand. Generally this means if I want to learn about a new subject I need to find the experts in the fields blog or read a book.
Forget about the philosophical "because you didn't buy that" or the various decent counter arguments. What it comes down to is that publishers purchase very narrow licenses of an author's output. One may specifically buy print rights, and only print rights for a specific geographical region like English USA. Or just the audio rights for a region. The same publisher often does not own both print and audio. So the big publishers that deal mostly in print get very defensive when sales of a copy they had no part in might eat some of the sales they might otherwise get. That's what you see in this case.
Yeah, but $35,000 from one's pension/401(k)/Social Security is still peanuts for California. That's got to be well below effective poverty level for someone living in San Francisco, LA or San Diego, even without rent.
When I was a kid, we'd go to the Amish stands at the farmers market and get fresh made loaves of bread (just white bread), dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, strawberry jam...it was dirt cheap and delicious, even if it wasn't a baguette (which I love).

Now that farmers markets are 'in', you can go there and get the same stuff. But it's so marked up it's not funny. 12 dinner rolls for $5.50? $8.00 for a jar of jam? A loaf of bread for $4.00!

My grandmother is long gone but I guess I could get some mason jars and research on the internet, make my own jam and can it. I can already make bread, but only bother to do it a few times a year.

I'm sure in another generation or so it will be a black art. Very few people do that sort of thing anymore, but if you went back 60 years, everyone did it.
Why not just drop soda entirely? It seems like you're forcing yourself to drink something you don't like just to keep soda in your diet...

Well, consider composition-over-inheritance, traits and mixins - all of which require language support, otherwise you get horrible developer ergonomics issues like having to repeat interface implementations over and over - or build your own domain-level implementation of traits - which just wastes people’s time.
A Beyond Burger is not the opposite of a hamburger. They are the same category of product, much like turkey sausages and pork sausages. I think you need to reevaluate your worldview if you think it's a more sound business model to try to trick unwitting people into buying a plant-based product than to just appeal to the base of people already interested in buying it.

It's not so much that HN isn't 'open', but there is a wide double-standard in the evidence required for libertarian-right arguments vs leftist arguments.

See this thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20780064

Lots of right-wing arguments upvoted with almost no evidence:

> [The city] grant[s] de facto immunity to homeless people committing petty crime, stop all police enforcement of drug laws, and shame everyone who dares to complain.

This isn't an argument, and has no sources other than a vague 'feeling' by the poster. It even includes a bit of a cut at the left ("shame anyone who dares to complain").

I'm not really complaining about that individual comment, but it's also upvoted and contains no argument or substantive discussion. Similar comments I've made are always deeply downvoted.

This has a chilling effect on discourse from leftists, where it feels like it's not worthwhile to write a substantive comment only to have it downvoted with nothing other than pithy right-libertarian ideological comments in return.

So I haven't really bothered with this account, hence spewing ideology.

I don't know what background info you mean? You mean you already know that bias exists, from your experience in America, and that Europe study only confirms it?

How/what do you know about the situation in America? Tbh it seems more likely to me that US studies made the same "mistake". European feminists also like to copy methodology from US feminists.

However, if you have an article regarding the US, I will take a look.
A couple years after this, you could buy a Redhat CD off the shelf at Best Buy, and if you had popular or generic hardware, it would pretty much install. And a few years after that, Mandrake or Corel Linux booted from a CD and had great graphics and everything.

By the time I got back to Debian, it was for servers. Netinstalls were compact and awesome!

And then Ubuntu came out and blew everyone's mind, how complete it was installed just off the CD. Even the idiots could install it then.
