I was browsing the thread, trying to recollect my oldest memory of me having an internal monologue and remembered one time in my grandmothers back garden when I was 5/6, then read this :)

My story was that I was playing around in the garden. I was messing with a pile of stuff placed against the garden wall and as I'm touching something, suddenly I feel a huge electric shock. There was an old electric socket there, probably for pluggin a grass cutter. I remember the strong tinge around my whole body and how it pull me into it. I quickly twitched and jumped back. I remember telling myself "Wow, I could have died there". And, "electricity really gets you stuck" (I remember when I was that age adults would warn you about touching electric sockets, saying you could "get stuck to it", I guess not grounding installations was common).
Isn’t the track changes feature of Word sufficient? I don’t use Dropbox though so perhaps it loses that..?
I tried 5-MeO-DMT a long time ago. Talking almost 20 years ago. The main thing I remember was a profound slowing down of time perception. Me and the other guy on it practically attacked our babysitter wanting to know how long it would take to wear off because it seemed like hours and hours had passed by. And I'll never forget what he replied, "relax it's only been 5 minutes"
(as of iirc 1.39) Cargo supports custom registries on stable. That means you can pull your dep to whatever hosting solution you want and leave it.

As well, pulling from a random server isn't the problem. Trusting a version to be a particular commit is, which crates.io handles as well as Cargo via cargo publish and the lock file. If you pull a dep, the lock file will guarantee that whatever you pull is going to be identical to what was published (assuming you didn't add a git field to the dependencies list or say version = "*").

As for churn in the std or dynamic linking, I've never had an issue using Rust in production and getting reproducible builds otherwise. Same is true for Clang or GCC/stdlib. APIs aren't being changed, binaries may shift, but unless you're on nightly you're probably not going to see anything break - just get better. But you can handle that, just don't update the compiler until you're ready.
Presumably, this alternate route won't save you 25 minutes by the time you and others reroute. However if it saves you 10 minutes and reduces the delay on the original route by 10 minutes since there are now fewer cars idling, then everyone is better off.
World's largest work-from-home experiment in ongoing in China
Mostly long-term happiness. Sometimes I do things that make me happy in the moment (pop and cheez-its), and are negative long-term, but mostly I work/play toward the long-term positive gain. I don't try to take the most optimal path towards a goal if I think the path will be too negatively draining. It's important to have fun along the way. The journey is long, and the destination fleeting so it's important to have fun.
Wasn’t the timeline concept a core part of Google Wave? If I recall correctly you were able to scrub through the entire history of a document in a similar way.

I drove through North Lake Tahoe one time on a weekday around midnight, and Google Maps was showing all red as I was driving up the mountain... I was super confused as there were no cars around me and it was not snowing either. What I later realized was that all the trucks were parked alongside the freeway taking breaks... I never realized that you could basically trick Google Maps by using a bunch of cellphones. Very neat!
Firefox. Of all the browsers I keep trying it's the one I keep going back to, especially at work where we run a huge mixture of webapps some as old as 15 years, some only released within the last month or two, Firefox never has any trouble. Our company mandates IE and Chrome, neither of which run the whole spread so users have to keep switching between the two browsers, but I use FF and only have to keep that open.

There’s decision fatigue on parts of consumers too. Should i pay for this now or not? If the publisher demands payment after the fact, then they barely have any leverage in the transaction. If before, there’ll be a lot of hemming and hawing (like the app store).

In addition people balk at the subscription price compared to netflix. They forget that there’s still a price floor to production and a publishers audience is smaller (and maybe geographically restricted) while netflix has massive economies of scale and can amortize its cost over the entire population.

I’m seeing this kind of pricing disparity everywhere (the app store, publishing and what not). I don’t know what’s the solution. Bigger companies have distorted pricing expectations of consumers, especially when so many services/apps are available for free supported with ads.
For quarter a century I was searching for ways to solve any complex problem given. So several years ago I've stated a ready program for anybody, who wants to become analyst, to do it. Several persons I've taught, has boosted up their abilities, and has got side-effects too.

So that is the link to somelike program thesises, in several words: risk + brute force speed + intelligence quadrant

I've used Norbert Wiener intelligence like a machine metaphor, and that led me to several ideas about what elements are needed to solve more complex problems, with greater efficiency due to customer needs.

So I've created english language channel in telegram (@aintxt, t.me/aintxt) about how, what and what for one should develop his intelligence capabilities. Most important part was about pit-falls... So I'm complaining about that much in my main, rus language channel.

Most interesting thing is that some of my co-developers, has gone far from me in developing their N-Back level. So my approach is not limited by my capabilities, one can freely go further in this - only thing is that I can't pretend about other pitfalls on that way. But the road is open.

Other point is that I've asked everybody, who has found pitfalls: what would you say to yourself in past, to start or to leave the trainings? Answer was: definitely start. That's sound optimistic, as for me.
It's not about being "better" insomuch as being knowledgeable. My comp. architectures course had a lab where we manually implemented a buffer overflow from seemingly innocuous code, and since learning Rust, I've started writing all my C/C++ code at work to manually check for nullptrs and bounds. If I get it right, branch prediction makes it free. If I don't have it at all, well shit, I might make a critical error in production code!
Most complex boards will have a few parts (like plastic connectors) selectively soldered on after reflow.

Is quake live still alive? I used to play actively when it launched in 2008 but then the entire player base basically disappeared over night when StarCraft 2 launched for some reason.

I tried playing year or two ago but they 1) removed the original q3 audio assets (wtf?) And introduced auto-strafing...

Maybe people moved to Quake Champions? Quake live was a great game. Also is used to be browser based when it started!!

Everyone on the road is inconveniencing everyone else all the time. I prefer the strategy of accepting it, rather than letting it bother me. I also don't judge others for inconveniencing me. We're all just trying to get to point B at the end of the day.
I wouldn't clump all of those together in the same bucket of this phenomenon. Housing and UBI are both highly political. PHP is a tech-related technical topic.

And personally I would clump the Google one as an actual "movement" that is awakening which needs critical mass to actually move forward. Not only that, but there is an element of powerlessness when it comes to such a topic and repeating things helps solidify and project the opinions to a greater audience. I.e. I feel those behaviors need to be known so I'll repeat them wherever I can.

To use another analogy: We've been doing a global search and we've found a reasonably good local-optima and now we need to explore the local search space for everything we can find on the topic. If not to find a perfect solution but at least to enumerate every single piece of info and nuance we can find.

A lot of comments here suggest that journalists and newspapers are only out to make what sells. That rings false to me in absolute terms. If you read Liars Poker by Michael Lewis you know he was employed at a brokerage and could have stuck around if he was only looking out for money. Does no one else here believe there are journalists who have forsaken the path of making big bucks in other fields to do the right thing?

It feels like there is a broad brush painting over this entire discussion. I can't say Ray Dalio makes a convincing case for himself here.
Can you share some details of the projects?
I think pointer compression is worthy of a masters/PhD thesis in compiler design if it hasn't been done already. Should be ubiquitous, if you don't have a program that will ever require the amount of memory needed for more than a 2^N bit number the pointers should probably be compressed and arithmetic optimized. There's a lot of edge cases to look for there however.
People vote republican because they believe in individual liberty, minority over the majority, equality, and federalism. Historically, the liberals believe in pure democracy (majority rule), authoritarianism, equal opportunity (not the same thing as equality), and centralized government.

You can see the undertones of these ideas in both parties today. Republicans want to trim regulations (individual liberty, federalism), and the Democrats want to create socialized medicine. (centralized, authoritarian)

The author thinks he can boil down the differences to race and social class. Anyone who thinks “white racists” voted Trump into office is extremely juvenile. People vote against Democrats because they’d rather shoulder their own burdens than be controlled. A vote for Trump was a vote against the Democratic party, nothing more. If we don’t want people like Trump in office, then we should be running people like Bloomberg instead of socialists like Sanders and Warren.

It is an interesting idea.

I wonder if they just said it was happening, without actually changing anything, if properly advertised would it have an impact?
Yeah. The only way to overcome this is to bundle. And bundling with pubs is hard. How can I charge a single, Netflix like payment to access content from huge publishers (NYT, WaPo) and small niche blogs? How do I divvy the cash up? What's worse, because a lot of the web content that people want in this bundle is time-sensitive, I can't just build a content catalog by licensing syndicated hits like "Friends" equivalents to buoy the rest. These were exactly the issues these projects face.
Even in the small towns all of these existed (at least in the 80s) and it seemed safe. But still, it didn’t compare to Western Europe's standard of living at all.
The basic idea of integrating predictions into essays is good. On this subject, I've been thinking recently about using metadata for predictions. This could make analysis easier, e.g., imaging running an analysis script that got prediction data from multiple websites in standardized form. The easiest thing to do would probably be to add something to the proposed Schema.org Claim [0]. When I get the time I'll propose this to the right people [1].

> 2) The main way the forecasts failed to be useful was that the questions themselves weren't capturing anything interesting.

I agree, having used PredictionBook [2] in the past, though the essay doesn't address what I think is a better solution. Predictions that aren't involved in a decision aren't worth anything from a decision analysis perspective, so that's one heuristic I keep in mind when trying to make predictions. Why should I care that Angry Birds AIs are getting better (e.g.)? If the information isn't a factor in any decision, its value of information [3] is zero.

Perhaps I haven't paid close enough attention to this, but in AI safety I never got a sense for what people would do with the forecasts.

It goes off a decibel Meyer that is triggered by multiple honks at the same time, as per the video.
That figure is extrapolated based on the longest photon path length through the device. It isn't based on real experimental results (the device was demonstrated with n = 4), and it does not take into account the exponential quantity of photons you'd need to pump through the device before getting a measurable result.

Fundamentally, there's nothing this device is doing that a classical computer couldn't, so there's no reason the exponential base should be any different under physically realizable conditions.
I think media companies hate it because media companies regularly argue that it's bad. For example, there was a major scandal in late 2016 and early 2017 about the fact that nontraditional news sources sometimes publish lies; every mainstream news outlet I saw at the time argued that this is a new, bad trend, and that we should react by refocusing our trust on mainstream news outlets since they don't publish lies.

There are plenty of publishers like the National Enquirer, which make no pretense to be anything other than shock-garbage. The Wall Street Journal has a different stance.
I have the exact same question for Git. I miss Perforce timelapse view so much. :(
From what I gather this isn't the case. The signal resets if the decibel measured go past 85. It's unfortunately probably very easy to abuse, and some troll will.

Also, here's a video made by the Mumbai police: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIgKvUPXeq4
I agree that we get what we incentivize. But there is really nothing new about this at all.

The idea of news outlets presenting unvarnished truth without slant or bias is a fantasy world that never existed. In fact, while the technology has changed, the journalism of today is much more reliable and objective than that of one and two hundred years ago.
That's what makes this conversation interesting. People who are in the market for a $20K piece of test equipment are likely to be experts who are well equipped to evaluate the product's specifications.
I'm not sold. Yes, but at the same time AP News and Reuters are free and widely accessible. For people who want 'just the facts' journalism it's there. All WaPo, NYT, and Bloomberg add is spin, hip op-eds/opinion articles, and occasionally a scoop that'll be widely available within 12 hours elsewhere anyway. Whoever the losers are here, it's not the consumers.
> I don’t really care about the performance of my external hard drives. They store movies, photos, etc

I care very very very much about the speed of the drive that stores my video files. I need to be able to open and seek through them quickly so I can find the clip I'm looking for. When you're working with ProRes stuff, this becomes a big deal.

Luckily, good quality spinning hard drives can be fast enough, at least for my needs. Unfortunately, they're only fast enough when they're not running APFS. :(
Yeah, but here's the thing.

I realize that. And there are too many sites that I'd want to read, even just from HN links. So the per site subscription model is just unworkable. So from me, they get nothing now.

But with a system for transparent nominal payments, where payments under few cents were OKed by default, they'd get at least something.

I doubt that I'm unique. But maybe I'm unusual enough that the scheme would never work.
Yep, I wish GitHub made it easier to do diffs between a specific commit and many other commits, like with a timeline. Would be great for visually tracking down when a change was introduced or how the code has evolved over time.

That was an inspiration for a tool I built called Yestercode [1] (though it uses undo history, not version control).

This happens all the time. They're called fluff PR pieces. Basically the opposite of what Dalio describes in the rest of his post, but they absolutely exist.

Mozilla suite, the original before it was "slimmed" to just firefox: It featured a working popup blocker (unlike the current firefox one), had tabs and a unified search/location bar.

Konqueror: Handled a lot of tabs well, could scroll through tabs with the scroll wheel, kept unvisited tabs names a different color, native interface (in KDE). This was porn browsing heaven.

IE: native interface and working single sign on. I've been thinking about the latter lately because my morning routine is to put my password into my desktop, got to the corporate gateway and enter my username and password to start remote desktop (and RSA keys), enter my password again in remote desktop to start my desktop, go to jira (internally hosted) ant type my username and password again (jira prevents saving) to login, enter my username and password in dozens of other places. At least the latter half of these was solved by IE two decades ago and we should have standardized on that somehow.
Not too surprising if we think about it. At a significant number of unprotected lefts at busy intersections, you basically have to semi-aggressively pull out in front of oncoming traffic and rely on them to slow down for you in order to get through in a reasonable time. It's tough to automate that in a safe way. Especially if it involves fuzzy value judgements about whether those cars seem like they'll probably slow down for you.

Packet radio doesn't support encryption to any meaningful specification, and also is intolerably low-bandwidth for any real-world applications outside things like instrument telemetry.
It’s amusing to me when they market 5G network like it’s going to be a big help to emergency workers. They even have a scene of firefighters battling a forest fire. 5g has a range of 1000 feet in perfect conditions. Nobody is going to be using it in a forest fire, unlike amateur radio and HAM.
Monday: An Uninvited Guest
It's pretty trivial, from a compiler point of view - not being able to take real pointers is going to make code slower in some cases - the hard part is things like partially computed pointers that get spilled onto the stack (esp if you are doing GC)
I'm pretty sure the pun is intentional.
I'm right there with you. A model based on race would be racist. The issue is that in urban areas, crime rate is often a good proxy for race (particularly when looking at, say, muggings or carjackings rather than white-collar crime). I consider that irrelevant, but as the two articles I linked show, the "disparate impact" type folks don't care about which stat is being used.
I just encountered this last week.

I had to explain to my fellow non-IT students why I was making loud gasps of confusion.
The secret solution is called Z3.
Not sure that applies here since one person honking won't gain them any advantage. Very possibly a tragedy of some other sort.
Can someone give some context on why pointer compression is worthwhile? Are there actually so many pointers in use that indeed you save a significant amount of memory?
Single ear devices are usually legal where earbuds in both ears is not. Maintaining situational awareness seems to be the rule. If course, I'm essentially deaf in on ear, so being legal isn't any safer.

Yes, I am quite aware (I mentioned preconfigured radios and gave aircraft radios as an example).. American CB radios are HF, after all.

But the poster claimed they had "never seen an HF radio" that was more complicated then turning it on, which is a very limited view. Further, you will see more featureful ham radios placed into public safety use in the US. It is perhaps not the best idea.
