> If you’re doing something and you know users are going to refuse to let you do it if they have the choice, don’t do it. Apple will give them a choice soon enough.

I think the statement would be more meaningful with "if they have the choice" removed. Otherwise, you're just arguing in favor of only those with the power to remove choice.
This is probably because of the huge social stigma around mental illness.

By describing someone as insane, or “crazy” rather than trying to understand what is truly going on for them, it is a dismissal of their actual needs. Whether you want to deal with that level of detail has a lot to do with your relationship with that person.

But this matters a lot when it comes to the police who are called to handle people having mental health emergencies.

These suggestions all make some sense to me. The outrage at just dealing with the changes does not.

Keep in mind it's an average.

Any stay-at-home parents may well have the TV on 12+ hours a day - not necessarily just watching it, but even just listening to it while doing the laundry, vacuuming the house, etc. I know my mom did when I was in school.

And it would put Apple behind with AI/ML. They are behind, but they are catching up. Google has to do everything on the server. Most Android devices have slow outdated hardware so you can’t do too much on the device.

Are you going to have government prostitutes to take care of males? I'm kind of joking, but my depressed friends are single males who were first to the bars.

> The organization has authority over what the government gave it the rights to, and the government gave them the right (with section 230) to moderate their property in the way they are now.

I think we're in agreement.

Laws are not immutable which is what I'm getting at. We're past the "public" vs "private" debate, we're now debating whether to change laws and adjust which rights private organizations have - whether to adjust or repeal 230 entirely.
They've changed their licensing since it was first announced on HN. They're still pretty murky. For instance, the personal license excludes certain types of work (but the phrasing is unclear); but the commercial license states it's only required for businesses of two or more people.

The personal license is no longer a subscription (if it was ever, I don't really remember), but the commercial license still is, even for non-Enterprise.
> Then you encounter the problem that there are no average humans

[sigh] In statistical modelling at the population level, we don't make conclusions about "average humans". We derive conclusions based on distributions. And the average is rarely indicative; the median is often more useful. Simple conclusions can be derived through power laws e.g. the divergence in income of the median male since 1970 relative to GDP growth.

> This is Le Corbusier style high modernism, the idea that living should be mechanised and human life subjected to statistical process control

Is this an argument of some kind? I'm sorry but I can't parse what point you're trying to make or the relevance of the statement in determining the correctness of concepts and policies that affect a society.

The price has nothing to do with the "forcing" part, unsure why you are guessing that's what is being referred to. The word "forcing" is clear enough on its own.
The web of corporate intrigue that powers watchdog groups is remarkable. The people who caught the professors are from the Campaign For Accountability, a "watchdog group" [1]. They pursue this role for a variety of issues. Their work on Google comes from a wider initiative they call the Google Transparency Project. One of the funders of said project is Oracle [2], which has...its own motives for bringing Google down a peg [3].

Right now the plan is to provide an integration API that you can use to trigger a k8s deployment from your CI tool of choice. Some more common CI systems like Jenkins will have their own step in the release workflow which will allow you to trigger a job for example, much like Azure DevOps.

An alien race with no notion of life (as we know it) would see us as nothing more than a natural biochemical reaction process that, as one of its byproducts, manipulated a local environment to split and release energy from atomic nuclei.

There is potential energy locked in multitudes of structures (from chemical bonds, to atomic nuclei). A simple chemical reaction may need a relatively small catalyst to free this energy. For example, a mix of oxygen and hydrocarbons will need a small spark - which can be easily provided through a natural process (e.g. lighting).

To release atomic energy, the catalyst that is needed is a highly complex and organized structure that cannot be achieved with a natural process like lighting, but instead required a reaction that lasted billions of years guided by natural selection. Natural selection progressively and incrementally found improved catalytic structures (for lack of a better phrase) to free previously unachievable energies. But because there is no free lunch, as we're accessing these higher energy levels we're actually accelerating global entropy and speeding up the heat death of the universe.

>By the way, a reaction concerning splitting of atoms is not called a chemical reaction: it's a nuclear reaction.

Well ... yes, but in our example, it is a chemical reaction (i.e. us) that serves as a catalyst to start the nuclear reaction.
It’s really impossible to know without more info, as people have mentioned you can download your fb info for some clues. One possibility I haven’t seen mentioned is they are using your credit card data that they’ve purchased.
I guess that's technically correct, but it seems a little pointless; with sufficient negligence, accidents are a virtual certainty, and those who come to harm in such an event would find little solace in that knowledge.

In that sense, I don't want PIA planes falling on my own or anyone else's head, land, or property, anywhere in the world.

There's no reason to allow pilots and airlines to behave like that, and lots of reasons to sanction them very harshly if they do. After all, who's to believe they're current on their maintenance if they can't even make sure pilots respond when hailed?
With the availability of affordable 4k screens, I think there's a real opportunity to get a service like this for cheap. I think high resolution (and a matte screen) are key for appreciating art. A square ratio might be ideal to display any sort of painting, but 16x9 is by far the most available and least expensive, especially for high resolution displays. depending on room size and mounting location, I think a 24 or 27 inch 4k monitor could be perfect, since you get really good pixel density. Oled could be interesting for this use case, though they are mostly larger TV displays.

I download a lot of art as desktop wallpapers on my 4k desktop, and then use photoshop to get the correct aspect ratio. With many art pieces, especially with a lot of dark backgrounds and centered subjects, content aware fill can be used to create a 16x9 ratio without cropping any of the content. For other art, like movie posters, simply creating a [black]/[white]/[color picker] color background for the poster to lie within allows for 16x9 landscape ratio from an originally portrait composition.

I usually use advanced google image search to set my parameters for ~12 megapixels (4k at 3840x2160 is ~8.8 megapixels, though extra size can be beneficial if you are going to crop, or for extra detail for content aware fill), though it isn't perfect and often displays images that are not the target size. it still helps cut through some of the tiny images that meet search parameters. I've found that many of my images are just from Wikipedia, I wonder if Wikipedia's API could be leveraged to retrieve a set of paintings from the rococo period, "renaissance art", or whatever. Using Wikipedia images might help avoid some legal issues, though i'm not sure if the API allows for commercial use.

here is the original of "David with the Head of Goliath", by Caravaggio (This version is a bit smaller than the one I originally downloaded, I'm not sure where I first downloaded it)

Here is a version that I used Content Aware fill in Photoshop to widen the image, notice that some of the patterns in the cracks of the painting are repeated, especially on the right. The output isn't perfect, but its organic enough to my eye, and avoids any black bars.

You also don’t get to control how you process the info and what you remember.

In fact, skilled advertisers and psychologists and the kind of people who develop dark patterns for social media companies[1] likely have more control over it than you have.

This is trying to solve an institutional issue (police accountability) with technology. I don't think it will work and it will just normalize more surveillance. No amount of body cam footage is going to force DAs to prosecute, juries to convict, and police departments to discipline as long as a culture of circling the wagons exists. If you doubt that, look at how much footage was available of the arrest and murder of Eric Garner. And the officer responsible was still not indicted.

As a parody of the type of nuance-free ideologically driven commentary under discussion, this is peerless. You managed to efficiently cram accusations of fraud and fascism alongside guilt by association and misrepresentation in very few words. Well done!

I've been a heavy Standard Notes user for a couple years now, and the added function of Zettlr looks extremely appealing to me (images, linking, much nicer rendering, etc.). However, to really give this a test drive to see if it's a suitable replacement, I downloaded all my Standard Notes as plain text and tried importing them. This caused a ton of bugs/errors when trying to navigate and use the results. First, it complained about not being able to detect the file type -- again, these are all plain text that end in .txt... Second, it seems to have a ton of trouble with renaming folders: it works the first time, renames it on the filesystem, but then doesn't keep the change in the app? Then I try to reload and rename the folder back and now it throws null variable errors left and right? Then, I try to create sub-folders to start organizing the mess of notes I just imported and... big choke, can't create the folder, sometimes it gives an error and other times it just does nothing. The performance (speed opening tabs, scrolling notes) seems to degrade quite a bit with the number of notes I have.

So... this looks like something that could be really great! But there's a lot of friction still to having it get out of the way and let me be organized.
This course is incredible. If anyone who had a hand in putting it together is reading, they have my thanks for putting out such an incredible course. I've done 2 labs and 5-6 lectures of this course so far and I find it absolutely worth it. I just wish I were a bit more disciplined about it (the pandemic made a lot of things harder for me). My goal is to eventually finish it and then make my own version of the Distributed KV store (perhaps in Rust?), and then perhaps even do a good Databases courses.

So far, it's allowed me to dive deep into how Map Reduce works, I even presented GFS in a local Distributed Systems group, and was able to understand Raft. I'm currently doing Raft labs (which is when the Pandemic happened). I've designed some sharding schemes in my previous company and worked a lot on Streaming systems but learning the theory behind everything is amazing.

If there are people here who would like to put a serious joint effort into doing this course, I would absolutely 100% be interested in it. Doing this alone from my apartment in a foreign country gets a bit tricky vs doing it in a group setting. :)
It is not just "unfortunate", it betrays their actual views, which is that we should be ready to sacrifice people's lives on the altar of patriarchal gender norms.

A lot of the more polite bigots will be comfortable making concessions to the trans people who conform to patriarchal roles (and hey, good on Pluckrose for being slightly less bad than charlatans like Stock) but will have knives out for anyone whose existence challenges them. This is a problem.

The only way to true gender liberation is through abolishing the patriarchy.
Arguably, this is because all the low-hanging fruit has been picked, and all the remaining problems are too complex for a single person to solve.

> The article takes the approach of gluing together disparate solutions to write a language.

But so does Diehl! It's no different!

He pulls together a 'disparate' parser library (actually he implements it himself, but it's a copy of an existing library) and he mentions using literally exactly the same backend (LLVM)!

What do you think the difference is that using a functional language makes?

It looks like exactly the same process to me.

The author makes it sound like statistics is this grand beautiful mathematical edifice and ML is just a bunch of number crunching with computers. That contrast is just unfair; a huge portion of stats is just made up of hacks and cookbook recipes. Statistics has probably done more damage to the world than any other discipline, by giving a sheen of respectability to fake science in fields like nutrition, psychology, economics, and medicine.

I'm particularly annoyed by the implication that statisticians have better understanding of the issue of overfitting ("why having p >> n means you can't do linear regression"). Vast segments of the scientific literature falls victim to a mistake that's fundamentally equivalent to overfitting, and the statisticians either didn't understand the mistake, or liked their cushy jobs too much to yell loudly about the problem. This is why we have fields where half of the published research findings are wrong.
You put me in mind of the debt peonage Europeans forced upon indigenous Americans in 1907:

> It was the agents and overseers sent into the region who were, much like the conquistadors, deeply indebted—in their case, to the Peruvian company that had commissioned them, which was ultimately receiving its own credit from London financiers. These agents had certainly arrived with every intention of extending that web of credit to include the Indians, but discovering the Huitoto to have no interest in the cloth, machetes, and coins they had brought to trade with them, they’d finally given up and just started rounding Indians up and forcing them to accept loans at gunpoint, then tabulating the amount of rubber they owed.

> In reality, then, the Indians had been reduced to slavery; it’s just that, by 1907, no one could openly admit this. A legitimate enterprise had to have some moral basis.

OK. What point are you trying to make with respect to my comment?
The article has a good point, but I was rather struck by the juxtaposition of these lines:

> My husband and I committed $1M of our own funds to ours.

> If I fail, I’ll never work in tech again and we’ll need to figure out how to feed our children.

> Nerissa Zhang is [...] and an owner of two private gyms in San Francisco.

The author is a millionaire who already owns multiple businesses (admittedly not the best business to be in during the current pandemic). Handwringing about how she's going to feed her children if her startup fails comes across as extraordinarily tone-deaf.
Ask HN: How to value time more than money/fame?
During quarantine I have made an important discovery about myself: Everything I do is somehow related to begin 'productive' or with the goal of me receiving praise for it in whatever way. Espeically now with more free time at hand (which I was initially planning to use for something 'productive or useful'), I just ended up wasting about half of it since I deemed the things I was doing 'unimportant' or 'of no greater use to humanity' and so on.

For example: Everyday I try to come back to a project I have started and my initial motivation to continue is there, but it quickly fades away because my mind is like 'It already exists, why do you try to reinvent the wheel'..

By now it is really getting at me since I cannot even convince myself to do anything anymore except stuff for university and exercise. Have any of you ever felt that way or maybe even managed to change the way you look at things?

Absolutely – it's definitely a tough balance to find. At some point in the future we'd like to have Supernotes be a federated solution with self-hosting available, but that goal is quite a bit out, if it can happen at all.

In the meantime, we already have the ability to export all your cards as markdown, and are currently trying to find ways to export your actual data graph in a format that could possibly be used elsewhere. Obviously the hard part with this is that, as I mentioned, our structuring options are somewhat unique, so there isn't really a way to export it in a way that could be readily consumed by other tools.

For the last point, this would be solved by federation / self-hosting. But again, in the meantime, we want to get closer to this goal by offering a lifetime subscription[1] (which is cheaper than Roam's offer which lasts 5 years).
