So sorry to hear this man. Do you have examples? I'm trying to learn to recognize if it exists in my current social relationships.
I have a Pro 4 as well. It still has the best GPU of any of the tablet-Surface line, and is plenty quick for anything I need to do. Unfortunately, my battery life is now half an hour, which makes it more of a fixed workstation with built-in UPS than portable tablet, and it's a source of real frustration.
I remember at one point -- not sure exactly what year, I'd guess around 2010-2012 -- Firefox had a cookie option "ask me every time". It popped up a dialog each time a site wanted to set a cookie, with options to accept, decline, and whitelist/blacklist the site that was asking.

I used it for a week or two, maybe. I stopped because it made the web unbrowseable. If you think one banner per site is bad, imagine at least 5 consecutive popups to start, plus the possibility of more when you took any persistent action our the site loaded a new 3rd party resource. And if you don't choose the whitelist/blacklist option right away, it's the same thing the next time you visit.

I stuck with it until it became clear that I was not going to run out of domains to whitelist -- ie, this was a never-ending workload -- and switched to accepting only first-party cookies. I don't think there was an option to decline 3rd party and ask for 1st party; I probably would have used it.
For a to do list, I think that makes a lot of sense. The items at the top of your list are higher priority, so having higher contrast text and a more saturated background up there draws your attention to the stuff that's most important.
Oh man, so true, realized this when I became 25. Nowadays I talk to my grandparents about these things and they say "grandson, when I was your age I never thought about how it was to be 80 years old or any other age for that matter."

I sometimes wonder how it is to be older. I also venture back to younger ages, and of course think about my current age.

I agree, but bucking up against an uncooperative executive is preferable to doing nothing and blaming it on the executive, that just plays right into their narrative.

The one (big) caveat is that some Emacs commands that start subprocesses will incorrectly try to start the process in your local environment (in this case, on the Windows side), rather than the remote environment (within the WSL VM). This mainly occurs when elisp functions are implemented using call-process or make-process when they should use process-file[1] or start-file-process[2].

This isn't an issue for most code within Emacs itself, but it pops up occasionally when using packages from ELPA or MELPA.

The idea of marginal utility (among other ideas of economic theory)
Simple but big issue I have is getting solutions that suit the platform. Often when I'm looking for help on something it gives me the on-prem solution. Docs on your website are confusing for this reason and that's why I stopped using. Takes me 30 seconds to solve a problem on GH and 5min to solve the same problem on GL. Clean that up so when devs try out the platform it's slick and easy to buy into not annoying and difficult.

As the pandemic demonstrated, quality of education is hardly relevant. It is all about the credentialism. 16 yo kids in Palo Alto didn’t threw themselves in front of the caltrain because they so desired a quality education. It is because there is so much competition in labor market that even their multi-millionaire parents could do so much. Why do you think we had an Operation Varsity Blues? If hyper-affluent is under this much pressure to cheat, what chance does the $175k/year software laborer’s kid have?

How have you been measuring your cognitive decline?

I have much shifted priorities from when I was in my 20s and was never that smart to begin with, so I’m note sure how I would even start to measure it.
BTW I've seen the same thing on Zoho side, they have so many products and they all work seamlessly across one another, yet they have a very little market share.
Shoe on the other foot, there's way less stigma around females using toys, see the proliferation of devices reaching back to mail order catalogs and ancillary mediums like romance novels. The argument with content or lack there of sounds like there's a huge undertapped market that's waiting for someone to fill it? Otherwise wouldn't the argument be that the demand is met? In practice it appears that there are different interests (males being visual, women cerebral) and stigmas at play.
Of course, but it looks like a so politic. In modern world we have a "fake" life. We already happy on the internet. I didn't see sad post on social media.

Basically it's just the same as whipping out a simple text editor in hurry; if I need to modify multiple files, I just do multiple commits (do a change -> commit -> jump to my branch/fork -> do the rest of the changes one by one) as GitHub doesn't support editing multiple files for a single commit and then I wait for the CI results. If something goes awry I'll probably clone the repo at that point.

That's a ridiculous over-generalization. My bank's website doesn't have ads on it; is that not useful? Wikipedia doesn't either, can you earnestly say you've never found wikipedia useful?

That's probably because UberEats isn't subsidizing those purchases and reflecting real underlying costs. DoorDash is still a private company and has the leeway to subsidize a lot more.

I'm not an expert, but the FTC definitely regulates how emails can be sent (SPAM laws). I'm not sure if the act of creating a list and selling it without the consent of the emailees is regulated, however.
AFAIK Falcon 9 is using automated friction stir welding, which was only invented in 1991 and first used on rockets in 1999 by ULA. So there is definitely considerable progress in welding that has been done since Apollo.

As for Starship, IIRC friction stir welding of stainless steel has not really been done, definitely not at scale so SpaceX will have to use more "traditional" welding methods, which have still got a lot of improvements and new techniques as well since the Saturn 5 times, as mentioned in other comments.

What is an example of an audio controlled toy?! Does that mean voice commands, or does that mean some sort of high-frequency (outside human-audible range) binary channel? I looked but did not see.
>The BBC, like a lot of news orgs, wants to maximize advertising impressions

the BBC is to a large degree publicly funded and a public service broadcaster, and advertisements are only shown outside of the United Kingdom. IIRC over 75% of their funding comes from British license fees, most of the rest from licensing their content to third parties outside of the UK under a separate commercial branch.
This reminds me of Sam Harris's guided meditation app. One of the common questions raised in the guided meditations is whether or not you can observe the part of your mind that is generating your thoughts. His suggestion is that you can't--the thoughts come into consciousness on their own; you can observe the thoughts as they come and go, but you can't observe where thoughts come from. Like the sensation of breathing, of temperature, or of pressure, thoughts enter consciousness as if they were an external stimulus.
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil"

More and more, I'm realizing this applies more broadly than just for code. Abstraction is a form of optimization and shouldn't be done before the space has been properly explored to know what abstractions should be built. Standardization is a form of optimization and shouldn't be proposed until there's a body of evidence to support what's being standardized.

Failure to validate a product before building it? Premature optimization.

Build infrastructure without understanding the use case? Premature optimization.

Build tools before using them for your end product/project? Premature optimization.

This advice comes in different forms: "Progress over perfection", "Iteration quickly", "Move fast and break things", "Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough", etc. but I find the umbrella statement of not prematurely optimizing to encompass them all.

We will adapt.

But there will be a time before COVID19 and after and they will be different in many ways we can‘t know, yet. I myself have this feeling of “One day the vaccine will be there and everything will be as it was before“. That‘s wrong I think, we already left the known track and while a vaccine-like intervention will come, it will not get us back into the timeline we were in, before.
Honestly, that sounds faulty – I had a SB2 with similar symptoms and it generally means the thermal paste or something is bad. I was able to return mine for a full replacement, no questions asked.
The point is not about the money - the point is using data contributed by users without the proper license to create something that might yield revenue which will then not be shared or payed forward in any way to the contributors. We have all worked hard to create the data used by companies to sell ads to us and make massive amounts of money. I guess I got a couple gigs of free email? Cool...

I also understand that most apps make us sign our lives away, but if I don't (as in the Reddit case) and I actually have rights to the data I sure as heck don't want that data used ANYWAY to power more of this stuff.

Probably a gross overreaction, but it seems like an externality that we've kinda just accepted as society that I'd like to see change a bit.

You would not. Many GAN papers do nearest-neighbor lookups, and typically, generated samples are clearly different. Since Arfa's model is high-quality and the interps look fine, I would not expect it to be any different. (It would be hard to check because there are no pretrained classifiers to provide an embedding to do the search in, but one could do reverse-encoding.)

The fact that nearest-neighbor lookups do not find exact overlaps between the training dataset and a large number of random samples has always been one of the arguments I use against the widespread misconception that GANs 'just memorize' data: https://www.gwern.net/Faces#faq

That so many people are convinced that a given datapoint must be an exact copy of a training datapoint - "it looks exactly like a Zootopia character I recognize!" - is really quite a compliment to the GAN...

Arfa excluded a few categories like ponies and scalies to keep it from being too broad for StyleGAN. Sergals would probably get excluded as part of that.

clearly we have different interests in what we like from HN. many of the sites you filter are sites that I like prefer their content because they do offer commentary that provides context and perspective that I don't always get from what might be considered 'original content' by this. Interesting experiment though, might provide more value to someone like me if rather than a black or white list it was more of a content assessment model using NLP.
Hey there, Alex here. I completely understand where you are coming from.

I'm not an expert on laws, GDPR, when consent is needed, by whom, etc.

This is a side project that just started gaining a little bit of traction, and I'll certainly look into all the above.

However, the emails I add are publicly available, found on the internet. Not from some leaked database.

I also have prices high in order to keep spammers away and have a small handful of customers. I only have about twenty, and they are targeting different kind of startups.
dang, you are a treasure. someday i would love to take advantage of that, tho i dont need it right now (launching on HN seems like such black magic to me, yet can drive so much traffic when done well). meanwhile, thank you for all you do here.
Thought exists without language, does it not? How can dogs dream of sticks and walks and chasing squirrels? Can't cats see a high place and think about how to reach it, those aren't thoughts?

The word Language comes from the word for tongue, language therefore is grounded in human ability to make complex thoughts borne out in simplistic squishy tongue air sounds.

We could extend language beyond tongues though, if we think of binary or rust or gobbledygook made up languages impossible to speak. Those still Express thoughts, though they be divorced from tongues.

So, IMO, thoughts are broader than language, which can come close to thought but can not adequately encapsulate the color red, a beautiful piece of music, or a cat's devilish designs.
I ordered some things from UberEats early on in the quarantine. The restaurants made several errors and eventually UberEats said they wouldn't refund because I was having too many issues with my food, and it was 'unlikely' that a person would have that many issues. So I don't use them any more.
This is unfortunate, but I also imagine that Uber may be one of the beneficiaries when it comes to re-opening later this summer if there are more people that choose to avoid taking mass transit. They have talented employees so I hope everyone lands on their feet.
I think the downvotes are because Microsoft has been providing some amazing tools completely free of charge. If that helps them sell more Azure... great! Everyone wins, except GitLab and AWS.

That’s a problem with Wikipedia articles. Historical and social topics tend toward beige deserts of insight. The neutral point of view discourages attempts towards writing bearing intellectual synthesis and insight.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Wikipedia. It’s rather Wikipedia is a dull read. Duller than it’s sources typically and regularly duller than what a quick Google turns up.

Wikipedia is perhaps a minimum viable HN submission. But it doesn’t bring expert opinion with it. Wikipedia articles are often 100x ideas with 0.01 execution.

How does your CI work?
The idea that your mind is not you.

That "thinking", as a process, is just a tool of your body, just like eyesight, for example.

Listening to meditation and mindfulness practitioners like Jon Kobat-Zinn and Eckhart Tolle, I found it absolutely groundbreaking, for myself, to realize that the mind is an instrument that needs training and tuning, and sometimes can lead you astray, and can't be trusted unconditionally.

Disassociating from my mind and understanding that my thinking is not my being has helped me in innumerable ways.
