>The mind’s potential for suffering is immense. The scale doesn’t go nearly as far in the other direction. I cannot imagine any possible pleasure within many orders of magnitude.

I've meditated a lot, which brain scans show the brain lights up in a near identical way to magic mushrooms, except when meditating you get to control how deep the state is, so if you bump into something you can't handle you can come out of the state or reduce the state as little or as much as you want. This gives the ability to "trip" without the risk of a bad trip.

I know it's a bit apples and oranges, but from meditation I've passed out from pleasure before, so I can say it gets very extreme. Neurologists and psychologists have been finding for a while that the average person's suffering is 3x that of equivalent pleasure for an equal event. They recorded day traders making a profitable traid and a losing trade and recorded their responses to get this rough baseline.

Facts, while valuable, never the less, can seem cold hearted in the face of painful emotions. I hope I'm not coming off that way. Understanding and knowledge gives power over what you know, and with the power of knowledge it is possible to conquer suffering.

Those who struggle with death have a baseline suffering that has been happening for so long they often don't even notice it. Identity is one of the three big causes for suffering. By understanding how the ego works, and what really happened there, one of the causes of many pain points throughout your life goes away. From that benefit it is imho worth knowing about.

Tripping is a bit of a trial by fire. Those who shed their ego comfortably gain the option to learn how it works, and from that they gain power over it, including suffering. This is why an ego death is touted as the single best thing that has happened to some while simultaneously touted as a horrible experience for others. The problem, imho, with the tripping community is it's easy to bump into an ego death, where in meditation circles it's walked up to and only experienced once one has removed (or at least reduced) all of the kinds of suffering before it guaranteeing a pleasant experience.
I've certainly been asked about literally 3 months of gap. Exactly 3 months.
Yes, thank you for clarifying.

I have heard of takedowns / copyright claims on videos because of some song playing in the background while they film in a public space (think the radio playing in a store while someone films themselves shopping), so that might be one case you could argue fair-use without transformation of the underlying work. I wouldn't ever want to be in that position though.
> Optimizing this should really be a goal.

After many of my travel using Google Maps, I get a notification asking whether the route recommended was right. I never had a bad one (where they asked it at least) so I don't know what happens if I do answer no, but I guess it's to allow to optimize theses kinds of situation.

It doesn't have a standard ABI.

Nevertheless, certain language changes can force a breaking change to any existing ABI (or even all of them, and the C++ committee does not work in a vacuum. They work with existing implementations and must agree with implementers before making changes to the standard.

For example, there was a change to the definition of std::string in C++11 that forced a break in all commonly used ABIs (MSVC, Itanium at least). This was deemed necessary, but the cost of it to real-world programs has proven higher than anticipated, and may be a regretted decision (it apparently still causes problems and requires special flags even today).

These debates about de-growth are very much "first world problems" when taking into account global population growth and the daily income of billions of people.

Currently stopping global economic growth means either population decrease or condemning billions to poverty.
They use both radar and cameras, but primarily cameras. Lines, road markings, stop lights, and street signs can only be detected with vision, but cars+pedestrians can (usually) be verified by both radar and cameras. In fact, they’ve mentioned that they use radar data to help train the camera neural nets to predict distances more accurately. However, radar alone isn’t sufficient for detecting obstacles — it sometimes misses vehicles with a lot of ground clearance, and sometimes registers false positives when driving underneath bridges and overpasses, resulting in phantom braking.

Ask HN: What to do now I'm a manager?
I've been managing a small team <10 people. I've cleaned up the team, got them motivated and organised to a point they are driving themselves forward. Now I want to look at what I can do next to improve myself which in turn can improve the team and hopefully get me noticed a little more to take on some more people/teams.

Can anyone recommend any courses, training or books that you would recommend or have found invaluable in your time in a management role. (Any course or certification recomendations like MBA's, etc would be great!)
This seems like a complicated way of explaining supply and demand?
KeyChest.net does this and posts about it regularly to HN:

Restoration just requires logic for the most part. before switching on a game that's sat somewhere for 30 years, start with power. Is the machine getting 240v (or 120 depending where you are). Then check the transformer/power brick - is it doing its job converting 240v AC to DC voltages. Measure those. Is the monitor getting power and working. Then you can plug in your PCB (assuming it's not corroded to hell). Then go from there. There's so much info out on the web these days, someone has usually documented most problems you're likely to come across.
These are the ways the strategies differ:

- a token can be invalidated individually, while resetting a password invalidates all sessions

- a token can be given a predetermined expiry without the issues that arise from predetermined password expiry

- a token can be given a limited permission set

- a token can be used to track the origin and extent of an attack

In practise for something like TeamViewer I find it likely that none of these except the first would be implemented. If the attacker has access to the registry chances are you're f*cked anyway.
Wow, that's weird. Fixed. Thanks so much. I woke up in a weird way today and am way off my game; it's normally jobs@, and latacora.com/careers, which I scrambled. But now both work.
Because when one works from home, there is no need to allot time for commute. People with short commute times (==> no need to adjust sleeping schedule), are much keener to go work from the office.

Anecdata; but I know the hiring numbers of a tech-forward company with a couple hundred engineers in NYC: 1.2 in 100 applications results in a hire. They have a 4-ish step hiring process where between 1/2 and 3/4 are dropped each step.

It's an environment where both sides of the market are currently empowered to be highly selective.
Integrity Express Logistics | Cincinnati, OH USA | Full-Time | REMOTE

Founded in 2007, IEL is a fast-growing, family owned company. Integrity’s mission is to live up to our company name by earning our customer's trust through innovative technology and operational efficiency.

Logistics is undergoing a tech revolution, and IEL is right in the middle of it. We are beginning work on a brand new core API, with a focus on flexibility as the market moves towards a more API first approach to integrations. We currently have a handful of live products including the company's in-house Transportation Management System, Customer portals, Carrier portals, mobile apps, and more. While the majority of our products are currently built with PHP, React, and Postgres, we are always evaluating new languages, methodologies, and strategies. The software development group is quickly growing and there are a lot of opportunities for people to make an impact daily.

IT department employees participate in a bi-weekly "innovation day" where groups form and work on projects outside the normal development sprint. We use this time to explore new topics, enhance existing processes, and build entirely new technology. We meet the day after as a department and discuss what we learned. It's a great opportunity for everyone to grow together and work on things they are passionate about.

We have a relatively new Tech blog here - https://tech.ielfreight.com/

We are looking for a Software Architect to help with our next generation of products. They will be responsible for working on designing, building, and maintaining products both new and old, from front-end applications to back-end APIs. The role will need to stay up to date with emerging trends in both Logistics and Technology to ensure new products can satisfy new business requirements. Software Architects are also expected to help mentor developers, and provide insightful feedback on both a code level and an architectural level through the development process.

I've wondered why cars don't have a built-in communication mechanism.

I should be able to broadcast somehow (using a voice message?) to nearby cars that "I'm going now, don't go".
Yes, these are all questions you need to answer. Thing is, no matter how you answer these questions, what you produce is still far more convenient and much safer than random char buffers everywhere. If sudo had a 200 line internal string library, this vulnerability wouldn't have happened. There's no excuse for open coding lots of random string stuff.
I used a track from the Open Goldberg Variations (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Goldberg_Variations) recorded by pianist Kimiko Douglass-Ishizaka.

I wonder why they would let the public see this. To the critical eye it looks like it barely works. It loses its mind right at the beginning, around 0:06-0:07, veers to the right for no reason and then rolls through a stop sign without stopping. It spends the rest of the video hunting left and right like a drunk.
Japan Races to Build New Coal-Burning Power Plants, Despite the Climate Risks
This might be of interest:

I just finished (a light) editing of an English (machine translated) version of a book for someone I have a lot of respect for who is a Japan-based mentor of mine - Hiroshi Maruyama had 26 years in IBM research, eventually as the director of IBM Tokyo Research Labs.

In one chapter of the book he provides a view across a possible way to fix the patent system which I found interesting. It referenced ideas from the following paper
- https://www.ibm.com/ibm/files/S376023B46442F89/building_a_ne...

Some of the key points of the IP marketplace were
- fees for the licensee fee would be set upfront;
- the patentee would pay a % value to the government as a tax;
- if the patentee wanted to use the patent exclusively, a high licensing fee could be set, but that would also result in a higher tax being due to be paid.

The approach was to dis-incentivize bad actors putting monopolies on products via patents. It would also encourage higher utility value from patents under this system.

Another interesting concept Maruyama's book covered was LOT networks used to fight against Trolls.
- https://lotnet.com/

The idea with the Lot network was that if a patent did get rights to a patent from a member of the lot network, If any of the patents from members falls into the hands of a patent troll, all other members are automatically granted a free license of the patent.

The book covers themes on how to do research in corporate organizations (the audience focus remains with Japanese researchers/students) and has some interesting discussions.

I will provide a link to the book when it is available (if there is interest).

The book is an updated version of this Japanese book:

Yup, the first 3 digits (the area code) tell you the the part of the country where the number is located. Obviously this was setup before mobile!

> prefixed by carrier and have no geographical breakdown.

I'm not sure how/if that would work here given the active mergers & acquisitions in telecom. (Among other things, some of these require some customers to be divested to achieve approval of the deal.)

Additionally, we actually had Congress pass a law requiring the ability for consumers to take their number to other carriers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan#...

Prior to this, carriers could use as leverage the fact that people prefer not to change their phone number.
Wouldn't the data decide what the rule is? I'm guessing if in NYC, a more aggressive driving style is the norm - the models and the pipeline should be capable of adjusting to that.
of course not. just realize that it's a disease vector and motivate people to limit air travel during flu season
ah yes, that anti-science. I have four publications in Geography journals and hold a BS and MS in CompSci. Your "Science" is a religious ideology of its own.
What Is Skopeo?
They're not legally required to be instant, but they usually are. The "ambition" set out legally was half a day, if your transaction is initiated in the morning it should clear that afternoon. It's just that in practice instantly is the realisation of this ambition when things work. And I don't think there's any API requirement, the regulation just explains the consumer experience, that you can transfer relatively small amounts of money (enough for a nice car, not enough for most houses) fast ("Faster Payments" is the name given to this feature), and doesn't dictate how.

For large transactions transfer for a fee already existed. CHAPS will move much larger sums of money (it's typically used to buy property so certainly millions but perhaps more) for a modest fee. You wouldn't want that fee on your weekly groceries, but when you just bought a house who cares?

Last I looked the backend for Faster Payments wasn't actually built. The big banks decided instead "temporarily" to just trust each other. If Bank A says Cathy sent Mike £5000 then Bank B where Mike's account is will credit Mike £5000 (probably instantly), presumably Bank A will reduce Cathy's account by £5000 and the two banks agree they'll settle things at the end of the day. This is only scary if Bank A might not actually have that £5000 to give Bank B at the end of the day when it's settled, which in principle should never happen under current financial regulations.

Neat. I reserved to fund for $2k on Homeworld 3. This sounds cool.
I think the more interesting/dangerous jumping is when the perception engine fails to consistently classify/find objects in the scene, between adjacent frames, not the specific fps of the process. This video seems to display some of such inter-frame jumpiness.
Not just a blackout---they were threatening to put legal pressure both on YouTube directly (to show it was violating the safe-harbor provisions of DMCA) and the tech sector in general (to modify safe harbor to give copyright owners more control via legal remedy).

YouTube capitulated to a technological solution in part to avoid a legal solution being forced upon them.

I don't think that's what it says.

If I'm reading it right, (null = null) is unknown, which is falsy (except with ansi_nulls off, then it'll be true). (null is null) is true.

I don't think you can test null = (null = null), i.e. null = unknown. Let me know if that's possible somehow, I can't get it working.

The guy had multiple layers of plausible deniability encryption for a creepily categorized collection of CP. Investigators were able to see it when he unlocked his cellphone which held relevant stored passwords.

As to why this happens more often than you might expect, it's because people that share classified info are all around bad. It's surprisingly uncommon that they are being blackmailed cause of the CP for example.

Also this was very young children being abused, horrible indefensible stuff.

Tags: Design tools, HCI, PL, Visual programming, Procedural design, Constraint solving, Graphics programming, Animation, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Rust, SwiftUI

Our product is a design tool that brings high-fidelity design and motion graphics to web and mobile.

Our long-term goal is to expand this into a design tool for dynamic systems (apps, generative art, explorable explanations). We aim to blur the line between designer/developer, author/consumer, and artist/scientist.

Our inspiration comes from the work of Ivan Sutherland, Seymour Papert, Bret Victor, and others.

Positions:

- Principal software engineer / CTO: You'll be leading a small team of senior and junior developers, through rapid product iteration, and ambitious, one-of-a-kind technical challenges. Current challenges range from a real-time multiplayer editing environment with branching history, to a high-performance animation engine for web and mobile.

- Visual designer (Branding/UI/UX/Motion): You'll be joining our team of HCI researchers, elevating their designs with gorgeous aesthetics. A solid portfolio demonstrating a love of cinematic visuals and meaningful motion design would be a great plus.

(If you don't fit the above profiles, but this stuff is your cup of tea, then we'd love to hear from you regardless.)
