It can help with lung capacity issues as well because both brass and woodwinds give your lungs a really good workout but make sure to keep your instrument very clean, especially the mouthpiece and the top of the tubes because you can easily contract a fungus that ends up in your lungs through them.
One thing that really helped for me was stricter banning of mindless browing on my phone, on IOS(using ScreenTime with a password I don't know), I block:

* Email
* Browser
* Any feed apps
* Games

If there's any ability to distract myself with my phone, I'll relapse to bad habits. But with this in in place, I just forget where my phone is and it's mostly just a place for messaging and podcasts.

These days I often lose my phone, that feels like progress.
I haven't seen anyone mentioning it, but I wonder if -ffloat-store fixes this?
Chomsky didn't just argue that the statistical method lacked insight, but that humans can't really learn language statistically. Given that our artificial neural networks are much worse at learning than humans are, and yet they can simulate language much better than expected, this refutes Chomsky's arguments

How does demonstrating what artificial neural networks can do refute the argument that humans can't learn something in the same way?

All it does is refute the idea that artificial neural networks can't do that.

I'm not commenting on how we learn or Chomsky's correctness or otherwise; just pointing out the
unjustified leap from what AI tools can do to what actual intelligence does.

How unreliable is it?
Complex solutions to simple problems pad resumes.

It's important.

I've been looking for a job recently and my lack of experience with excitedly building expensive overly engineered big piles of stuff to do simple things is really hurting me.

When I suggest simple solutions proportional to the problem size people look at me like I'm some kind of simpleminded ninny.

And then when I describe working systems I've made using the approach on companies that exited north of 10 million, then they usually just think I'm a bullshitter.

10,000 users? Just do a simple lamp stack on a $10 month vps and don't code it like a moron, it's not hard. And it can be delegated to almost anyone, that's important for longevity. That's it, move on with life.

I've even offered to show logs, I mean, it's remarkably bad how hard it is to find work as a cost-cutting product-focused engineer, nobody wants that shit, really.

They want autoscale, prometheus, travis, blah blah blah... as fancy and crazy as possible, an empire of infrastructure instead of infrastructure for an empire... It's a damn cult.

I'm thinking about giving up and giving in. Maybe spend a month and drop $10,000 or whatever on a bunch of the tech just so I can talk about these things.

The second thing I'm constantly surprised by is how many obvious things are formalized with fancy names, math equations, papers, etc. Stuff I'd think like literally anyone with half a brain would do.

Recently I found out about "CRDT". Apparently I've been doing it for a decade... It's just super simple stuff wrapped in needless formalism, like back when design "patterns" were all the rage. I used to think "why is there a name for that?" it's such basic stuff.

So saying "dude, the emperor has no clothes, here, take my coat" - bad interview strategy and it's hard to rectify because there's like 50 naked emperors and silicon valley culture is on a constant rotating basis of seeing the nakedness of 5 of them and ignoring the other 45.

Maybe what I should do is just a couple throwaway interviews to focus on finding out the current fads and then be able to give the right cultural signals for the ones I actually want.

You lost me there. I won't use 3rd party auth systems like Facebook, Google. There's no reason they should know i use your service and how frequent i use it.
> Meaning that the limits of the Overton window are defined by a small set of people rather than the community itself.

I wonder if that's even the case, or if the range of allowed opinions is rather set by advertisers and investors. If Reddit had a very large, very lucrative Pro-Life community that essentially "kept the lights on" by providing high ad revenue, I doubt that they wouldn't cater to that community's wishes. They lean strongly to the left, because their audience does, and they want their audience to be happy so they stay and watch ads on their site.
I'm looking for a graph based solution, too. For my master thesis I used diagrams.net, but it's not a long term solution. I need something with markdown support, git, offline mode and hopefully for free.
If you only need the features that Notepad provides, then it's an alternative to Roam. That's what these "Roam Research alternative" discussions sound like to me anyways.

Foam isn't an alternative to Roam unless you don't need key characteristics which differentiate the two services.

I also feel that Roam is being used as click-bait to attract eyeballs to other note taking apps.

This reminds me of the "I can't believe it's not butter!" marketing campaign. Logically, you could apply that tagline to any product. I can't believe this celery isn't butter! No, margarine isn't butter. They are using butter to sell their own products.

Just the same, any note taking app could be an alternative to Roam. I would bet this discussion thread wouldn't have been this long if Roam wasn't in the title.
I read a lot of "you are wrong", "you didn't think about this", etc, which I'm not going to get into.
I embrace these posts as an invitation to re-evaluate, with your own data and use cases, your technical decisions and for that I'm always grateful.

On the same note, in case someone is digging into how to reduce CDN bills, I wanted to share that we are quite happy with BelugaCDN. It distributes objects stored in S3 using, in a hacky way, referrals as authentication method.
Lots of money saved there.
> Reliability is far more important than repairability.

And why do you think they are exclusive to each other? I have a, I kid you not, nearly 15+ year old washing machine that I am still using. I had to replace 2 parts, due to wear and tear, in the last 5 years and it still runs as good. I am glad that I could repair it for a fraction of the cost than dump it and buy a new one.
Yes! In my case was just a matter of head position on the pillow + stress. With half head on the pillow and half off, my jaw was hanging and I unconsciously tightened my teeth all nigh long in order to keep my mouth closed. Problem solved after 2 months of hell and 2 dentists, the first of which wanted to remove my perfectly sane wisdom teeth. Also, dedicating more time to extra work activities, instead of work, helped a lot.
For anyone looking at this type of web application, I believe dev.to has similar functionality and licensing, but also has a mobile app on both iOS and android.

On the contrary:

It applies very well to people intolerant of other groups, ethnicity or race.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. They are a part of PRISM.
There are some clever ways of detecting such things. The density of gas and dust can be determined by measuring the effect on starlight passing through it. Statistically, larger objects should occasionally pass in front of background stars making them "blink off" briefly or in the case of black holes, lens the light from the background star, making it briefly brighter. Surveys have been done looking for such things. We can put upper limits on the amount of "traditional" matter, and there simply isn't enough of it out there to explain our observations.
> We have already established that this shit is not what we want.

Ah, yes. "We were wrong about morality all those other times throughout history but THIS time we're right! Forever and ever!"

Also, the things being banned are nowhere as far outside the Overton Window as your strawmen.
I don't understand why this is so special? Ours is about 4% for a very compute heavy service handling millions of events per day across four continents.
They lump porn (presumably also artistic nudity) along with hate speech, racism and so on as banned discourse. You're not even allowed to have a sexual alias.

This is not necessarily a bad thing for users - I often wish for a place similar to hacker news but with a wider range of topics - however, it almost certainly means they will never reach Reddit levels of popularity.

I do think that Reddit fills an important niche - a place where any topic is open for discussion, including porn and other forbidden topics like drugs. It's just unfortunate that the company currently ruling this niche is so morally bereft that they can't tell the difference between open discussion and fueling hate speech.
We dont cold start our production environments. But yes it is slow on our staging ones.

By far the biggest issue the the relatively small connection limits.
You mean an early prototype of the Zig compiler fails.
True, but the things about bigotry and harassment seem more likely to apply to the site, unless big projects get weirdly abusive issues or PRs. And it is linked from rule 1 on the website, I’m guessing the website rules isn’t referring to rules for contributing. I think maybe it’s both. I certainly don’t get the impression they want to be a Voat style ‘Reddit for after you’re banned’, regardless.
That may all be true, but I guess GP was asking what that has to do with statically linking your main binary (or not), which of course you can do, yet still use shared libs as plugin loading mechanism. For example, ODBC drivers (with or without the various unixODBC/iODBC proxies) can be dlopen()ed from otherwise statically compiled main binaries just fine, can't they (even though for ODBC the typical use case is using a driver manager rather than invoking dlopen() directly)?
Indeed. And it turns out whether pedophilia is harmful is actually controversial. See Rind et al.
It is hard to cite what is in the air. I am transcribing what was programmed by state media. It was generally believed that we could. And how big our country is a treasure by itself. So we should. Liberated countries owe use and should live just as we are, otherwise they are traitors.

But best mark is the leader support [2]:

> When doing some performance work on xi, I found to my great disappointment that performance of these so-called “native” UI toolkits was often pretty poor, even for what you’d think of as the relatively simple task of displaying a screenful of text.

The same thing I experienced. Text rendering performance is terrible with Cocoa, and even worse with Win32. Calculating text width is an order of magnitude slower than with FreeType.

That's why for my UI framework I also went from using "native" APIs to custom GPU rendering.

The difference is, that most Apps does read your clipboard when you start the App to check, if there is some relevant information for that App and part of the reason why is that you can not set default Apps in iOS (in iOS 14 this will be possible for browser and mail). A browser for example does check if you have a URL to offer you to open it. Apollo (a Reddit client) for example does check if you have a Reddit URL in your clipboard to offer you to open it. Or a banking App does read it to offer you to make a transfer to a IBAN you have in your clipboard.
But TikTok did read the clipboard every few keystrokes you did on your keyboard. That’s a huge difference. Of course you can’t say for sure that all the others didn’t do anything crazy with the data from your clipboard but they at least have a valid reason to read it.
I think so too.

I just had a quick look at the Lightsail pages and thought "This is just plain old hosting, with hooks into a highly proprietary cloud environment."
A lot of meat doesn't cost that much either. The cheapest minced meat here in Finland (which is a relatively expensive country) is less than 5€/kg.
Such opinions show a lack of understanding for how science works. Yes, scientists come up with hypotheses all the time, with the only requirement being for them to be falsifiable.

And the theories themselves can't be proven as true, since this isn't math but empirical science, but we can get an idea about how well they predict natural phenomena and we can disprove them by empirical evidence, observations that show these theories don't predict the universe well.

Scientific theories are a dime a dozen and in the presence of empirical evidence that falsifies them, we should consider such theories as falsified and move on.

When people continue believing in theories that are non-falsifiable or that have been falsified, that's pseudo-science.
Let's run wild some imagination. So 500 million light years as distance, meaning it started at least 500 millions years ago. Dinosaurs weren't existing back then. Imagine a civilization which has this energy output that is detected 500 million light years away. Wasn't some quote where a type 4 civilization technology is indistinguishable from natural phenomenons?

We know how many neutrinos should be there, and it's not enough to provide a dark matter candidate. Additionally, neutrinos would be hot dark matter, that is they would move fast, and therefore not cluster nicely. That would lead to galaxies that are more spread out than we observe.

(That is, as long as we assume standard neutrinos, there is actually a theoretical mechanism to get heavy right handed neutrinos, while leaving the left handed ones we observe light, and that could be kinda sort of a dark matter candidate. The most obvious way to generate them is as far as I know ruled out, but I am sure people work on more complex models.)

> Lastly, yes it is true that some points of view are just wrong. There are in fact bad ideas. Eugenics is a bad idea. Racism is a bad idea. Misogyny is a bad idea.

As someone who has been looking for good anti-racialist arguments for a long time (along with explanations for why eugenics is wrong and why we think there aren't substantial sex differences that make the sexes on average more suited to different things) the fact these kinds or things are censured and censored everywhere is immensely frustrating.

The only things I can find are sites talking about why racism is true or sites talking about why it's wrong, but I can't find resources talking about why it's false!

If you happen to have links about eugenics/racism/sexism that talk about their falseness (I mean, I presume you have actually seen arguments against them that makes you so sure they are bad/false?) then please let me know.
It varies widely, but plenty of people have WiFi that disconnects every half hour or so and is generally glitchy and slow enough you couldn't have a video call over it.

Most of that is caused by cheap ISP routers, WiFi interference, and DSL lines which have 30 second gaps when the SNR margin goes negative and they resync.

Most people just struggle on using it anyway - hit refresh whenever a web page gives an error, say "hello, hello, can you hear me?" over phone calls, etc. They've never used internet that works 100% reliably, so they don't even know anything's wrong.
The very nature of the study of physics has created a long history of untestable theories to fill in the gaps. Because candidate theories that can be tested either solve the problem or remove themselves from contention, so until the problem is solved, the untestable ones are the only ones that last any significant amount of time.

The theory of luminiferous ether had a large amount of circumstantial experimental evidence for quite a long time, but all it really was, was a placeholder waiting for an actual explanation. Theories like that will always exist on the frontiers of science. It’s not really unique to physics either. Miasma theory played a similar role in the history of biology for instance.
It is not the same don't you think? Would it be possible to feed, transport army, cover by aviation etc without support [1]? Would it be possible if there was only one front? And even if it was that is not what happened. Truth should be respected.

There's still quite a range of "dumb" phones available. A concern of mine is always: can I sync it to my computer. As far as my research went, you don't get that, at least with entry level phones from Nokia (105/106). That's especially annoying as it wouldn't require much effort.

On a pretty different note, I'm surprised nobody ever mentioned Punkt phones [1,2] on HN. From a design standpoint, also taking durability into account, it looks as if they're worth a try. They're outrageously expensive but I still like the fact they've been built at all.

It literally took a millennium for Europe to rediscover the lost knowledge of the Romans and Greeks and to reorganise itself to a comparable level of political and economic sophistication. And the ancient world wasn't operating at anything like the level we have today.

Technical knowledge is incredibly fragile. It requires a global network of raw materials, energy sources, processing systems of various kinds, and logistics - all maintained by overlapping knowledge concentrated in a relatively small number of individuals and institutions, none of whom have a complete picture.

So even if the knowledge survived in book form, it would still be useless at a local level if the supply chains that feed it were broken.

The absolute best you could hope for is some kind of partial memory in a few local pockets, and maybe the odd genius would turn up every century or two to make another attempt at deciphering the ancient wisdom.

Show HN: BungoSearch – Search free e-books by time-to-read
Bungo Search lets you search free e-books on Project Gutenberg by Time-to-Read.
You can search for example: Mark Twain's short-short works of 10min to read.

I created this because I wanted to read books more (and for free!) but can not choose the right one to read.

There are over 60,000 free e-books on Project Gutenberg, but it's a bit hard to choose the right one from such many books.

With BungoSearch, you can search books by the estimated time to read.
If you only have 5 minutes of spare time, just select "5mins" and you'll find the great short stories :)

All the books are ordered by the popularity in Project Gutenberg, so just pick the books from the top page of the search result, and you'll never be disappointed ;)

Hope this helps your reading life!

Two things has greatly reduced it and it resulted in a significant change in general QOL for me;
1. bite guard when sleeping.
2. jaw relaxation exercise program.

I have a malocclusion however. So ymmv perhaps.

Ask your dentist for a jaw relax program. It's just 5-6 simple exercises you do with your jaw, (I could upload a copy of my pdf if you'd like).

Something I'm looking into now is myofunctional training/exersices (haven't tried yet). The "science" on it doesn't seem 100% yet, and mostly promoted by one company. Thoughts?

Edit: forgot to mention that physiotherapy helped immensely as well. I had poor posture/forward tilting head, which i believe i feel into due to my malocclusion. Perhaps be wary of aches/bad alignment/discomfort in neck and shoulders and see whether physio for that could help alleviate.
