Since you guys seem to know your stuff and can see past all the marketing bullshit meant to intentionally mislead people, you might be interested in Blocknet and Block DX (DEX powered by Blocknet). Unlike Uniswap which is Ethereum/account based, Block DX is UTXO based (ETH integration in the works) with every component decentralize. Non-custodial, order books are p2p, order matching is p2p, and verifications are performed locally, and settlement via atomic swaps. Trades are also extremely fast (3-10s) with trade times independent of block times. Also in regards to Blocknet as a whole, they also offer decentralize oracles. Anyway, I'll stop here because I think I may be coming off as a shill, but I just figured you'd enjoy taking a peak since you could appreciate what they're doing for the ecosystem.

It seems like Finder was designed to hide the filesystem. In a normal file manager you start in your home directory and have a toolbar at the top allowing you to easily change your current path, see where exactly on the actual filesystem hierarchy your are etc.

Finder seems to like to show you what seem like various 'views' of things but these views aren't actual folders or at lest usually don't contain what you would think the folder would or it doesn't initially open where you'd expect it to, if you want to go to an actual particular folder, (once you even figure out where you are if you have any amount of complexity to your FS hierarchy), it has to be done via a nested menu item, (Go=>Go to folder), where it should be front and center, most managers have it under or as part of the menubar itself.

The search doesn't seem to work much of the time, unless one uses Spotlight for everything, no dual pane support & tab support is very, very recent.

Not to mention it doesn't seem to remember my view/display preferences for any length of time, doesn't have sane right click options, (it didn't even have copy paste last time I bothered to check).

I am probably forgetting a bunch of things since I long switched to alternatives like Path Finder & Forklift, but of course you can't even remove it from the dock if you don't use it.

Ask HN: Resources for checking if writing sounds contemporary
I have a mentee whose native tongue is French, and for whom English is a bit of a challenge (although it's passable). We're both in the U.S.

He's in the process of applying for graduate academic programs.

I've offered to go over his application materials to offer suggestions for improving them.

His application letters are full of very flowery English. I'm not sure if this is because he's translating from French to English in his mind, or whether he's using something like Google Translate. I haven't yet asked him.

I want to nudge him towards some resources online where he can check his writing sentence by sentence to see if it sounds contemporary.

A website that was recommended on HN a while back was: Hemingwayapp.com . I've never tried it myself but it seems like something along the lines of what I'm looking for.

My Ask: I'd like your suggestions for other similar resources that could help this person.

> Really? You can't think of any way the technology and tools could improve to make using Bitcoin less awkward?

I can, I just don't see things trending in that direction. ATMs were supposed to make it easy for anyone to participate; now they are best known as a place for scammers to direct victims to. Lightning network was supposed to increase the transaction rate, where is it now? It's been a few years since I've seen a "Bitcoin accepted here" decal in real life, and they are much sparser online too.

Funny enough, I checked my history and I made a similar comment to yours when Bitcoin first hit $4[1]. But I hardly see the case for optimism lately.

> For men who perceive themselves as unattractive, I would strongly recommend that you put forth the effort to become attractive, even if your own self-image is that you are unattractive.

In dating, I've always heard two rules:

1. Be attractive
2. Don't be unattractive

What's attractive is very subjective. But what's unattractive is almost universal. Take a shower, wear antiperspirant, groom your hair, and make an effort to be in good physical shape. Men, if you're growing a beard, groom it. If not, shave it regularly. I look back at pictures of my early 20s when I shaved like once a month out of laziness, and damn I looked terrible. #BlunderYears

I've seen first-hand people that believe they've failed at #1, so they ignore #2.
Do you think those satellites stay in their proper orbit without any intervention? Do you suppose they will not need to be replace? Starlinks, for instance, will have a life span of 5 years.

Yes, it works mostly fine under Rosetta. However, it is also precisely the area where you don't really want a translation layer, because you're spending a lot of time doing heavy compute.
Oh sorry, I think I'd lost that bit of context. This scenario of hiding a password during inspection is probably the main place where "security through obscurity" has validity.

A big benefit of encrypting your cryptocurrency private key with a password and then hiding/obscuring that password instead of the raw private key itself is that good encryption will apply key-stretching to the password, making it harder to brute-force. If an attacker finds a random-looking value in your stuff, and believes that the value might be your bitcoin private key XORed by a short string, they it's very cheap for them to check whether each result is a valid bitcoin private key. There might even be structure in the bitcoin private key format that helps gives away the XOR key. But if they know your bitcoin private key (or something else) is encrypted by Age, and they find a random-looking value that might be your password XORed by a short string, then because Age uses scrypt on the password, then it will take longer for them to verify each attempt against the ciphertext.
The article says 1.5 trillion bricks are produced annually...wonder where they are getting used. In North America their use seems to have been relegated to facades.
It's genuinely pretty tricky. There seems to be a valid use case in filenames if it needs to include both an English and Arabic or Hebrew component, for example. Which, if you work with bilingual documents between countries, is not unusual.

It's part of a broader question of visual strings having multiple unexpected Unicode representations, including Cyrillic letters masquerading as Latin, etc.

I've never heard of any solution, except for when a text component is supposed to be machine-interpretable (e.g. a file extension or domain), for the computer to display its interpretation in a special way (via icon, showing the extracted extension below the name, bolding the domain, etc.).

They're not great solutions, but there don't seem to really be any alternatives either.

1. Block times adjust, but there is an upper limit to adjustment per block. Low-pass filter, sort of.
2. In the event of compute power loss, prior to adjustment you still have to mine blocks of previous difficulty.
3. In the event of compute power loss, block times increase and there is no other solution than to wait it out or fork.
4. In the event of sudden and significant compute power loss block times increase to such a level that running the network under previous difficulty and waiting it out becomes impractical, therefore the only practical solution is a fork.

Yeah, here's a good image of how much space it costs to add a 'second' AVX-512 unit to certain SKUs. Cutting AVX-512 support entirely would save a bit more space, and the total would be enough to make a difference, but it's not an extreme amount.

This is the most important and often under-looked thing in this whole thread. This will further lead to wealth gaps and difficulty for working people to "get ahead".
A lot of it is that we focus on a single outcome from the education system and that is the workforce outcome.

The problem is that the workforce outcome is based on competition as only so many are needed, so the best are chosen and the rest... We only need so many doctors and you can have all the schools you want for it and pre-med, but the number of people getting sick is not increasing. Education does not increase demand for highly paid occupations.

We blame the education system for those who don't get into med school ending up in debt when that is just a mathematical reality. We aren't considering all the other benefits of just having a well educated populace.
Um these people deal in bulk efficient sales and mitigate risk, so it makes tons of sense.

When we got our processors last year for our new cluster (I work in an HPC center), Intel explicitly said that it's confidential information and cannot be shared.

I remember reading the datasheets myself and not being able to find it, together with my teammates.

So they changed their mind two months ago, and shared this info for their processors.

Guess that the information lost its significance.

Either way, a processor significantly throttles under AVX-512 load. Nice.

As someone who’s daily logistics have not changed that much (been working from home for 18 months, and not really going out besides grocery shopping), I feel like you have something here.

I’ve definitely been more tired in the past 2 months, and checking in with myself I have noticed that I’ve been pushing away anxiety
Kinda odd to see the title 'founder'. Linux is no startup or company. Linus is more like the original author, maintainer or creator of Linux.
I think the game changed a while ago. It is not Bitcoin mainstream if/when something bad happens to the monetary system anymore.

It is many blockchain building alternatives to the monetary system.
With Bitcoin being a digital gold, Ethereum being a decentralized central bank for layer two solutions running decentralized finance system (with stable coins and financial instruments) and perhaps other blockchains with different roles (payments anyone?).
See, I absolutely believe that's why you wrote it this way, because it's how I'd first approach writing this too: there's a fun explain-y part and then a "why does this matter" part, which I think is the schematic for basically every blog post I've written.

But I'm telling you that's not how it reads, especially after you had a Twitter fight with Moxie, which makes this read as your postmortem to that argument --- but even for readers unfamiliar with that drama, this is the most critical you've been of Signal on your blog; at one point late in the post you even suggest that they might be dishonest about their intentions with the feature. Even HN, which is not especially inclined to be charitable about Signal (this is Matrix country) can imagine better reasons why SGX might be sensible in this design than your post does.

If you don't want it to read that way, you should bring up some of the content from the addendum, even though it does lessen the impact of your side-channel stuff when readers know that they can just opt out of it.
The stock market isn't up, it's just being measured in devalued dollars.
> What's Bitcoin's excuse?

Existing currency solutions exist. There was no technology or infrastructure displaced by the (early) internet. No industries or governments (who realized they should feel) threatened by the internet.

The internet was backed by nuclear weapons and aircraft carriers. Is that really a fair comparison? Just think if there was never a person in the room to say "but what will regulators say?" when cryptocurrency came up.

Finally the internet as we know is unrecognizable compared to its initial incarnation. The network protocols we now have are layers upon layers of innovation that were all required steps to allow YouTube and Netflix to operate. And many or these innovations are solutions to problems the early engineers hadn't even encountered yet.

> Do we need nuclear fusion or 100Terabyte internet links for it to become usable? Do we need high speed data transmission to Mars?

I think it's fair to say that there are unknown innovations in our future that will drive cryptocurrency adoption. I think it's unfair to insist that we must predict those right now or abandon all work on the technology.
It's not difficult to memorize one reasonably good passphrase, and there are well-known key-stretching algorithms that are understood to provide however many bits you need of actual security from this passphrase.

> Just shift all the digits of your key by some secret (but very simple) algorithm

You are basically suggesting that people roll their own crypto here. Or pseudo-crypto, or stego, or whatever you want to call it.

Don't tell people to "Just do X" when the ambiguity in the methods that you describe leave >90% odds that the result of their work won't even pass a statistical uniformity test. This leaks the key. Once your adversary realizes that you made some sort of mistake here, they can write software to make their attack orders of magnitude easier than it would otherwise be.
The mind boggles at the absurdity of this comparison.

The amount of social good, emergency preparedness, advancement of technology and just plain fun is what ham radio is about. Bouncing signals off the moon, communicating across the world with just 10 watts--these are common activities.

Can you compare the energy consumption of a ham radio conversation with the amount of energy bitcoin requires to buy a pizza? Many orders of magnitude.

Insofar as being old and clunky, digital modes such as FT8, FT4, Olivia and associated technology is far from clunky.

If there is a disaster that affects the financial system, bitcoin is not going to help--it will be just as paralyzed as the rest of it.

One is expensive fantasy, the other has an ongoing practical use with social benefit.
Sadly its focused on communication between blockchains. Its one of these projects that I think is completely lost in the crypto bubble^^
ILP however is for the real world, where almost nothing is running on a blockchain and in the future most likely communication will be required between legacy systems and blockchains to integrate them.
They flat out encourage you to spy on other people's downloaded torrents. How's that not creepy? The argument that they only display what they collected and everyone could do that doesn't change the fact that it's them that do that and they're really indiscreet with this data.
Dalio's point is specifically "this time looks just like all the others" but unfortunately his "this time" is referring to something much bigger and scarier than yours.

crypto is a nice idealistic idea. would work well, on a local level. however, since money is invested into crypto all logical thought goes out of the window, compared to radio operators. now people function by pure emotion. to tell someone they've invested into a bubble, is a personal attack. as we noticed, into the late 2017 crypto bubble.

I like this much better than synthetic data augmentation actually. I think synthetic augmentation, like with GANs is actually a failed concept.

There has long been theoretical limits around how much you can gain by ensembling with a model of known limitations, and this is all that synthetic training data is at root.

You can’t “make up” training data that allows you to escape the ceiling of performance implied by whatever generator process you use for the synthetic data, no differently than you can’t learning a better regression just by bootstrapping a large sample of data from your existing training set.

Algorithmic synthetic data is a big type of fool’s gold.
The boomers you know (white collar professionals in the Bay Area apparently) are not a representative sample of the entire population. The group you mentioned has done well in every generation in modern times.
Wow, you've turned the "actually useful" reasoning into "marketing useful" reasoning. I'm speechless.
I am trying to imagine how you can fit bitcoin in a bugout bag.
Edit: Disregard the below because I can't do math. But leaving it for context given the response.

Boomers by definition are going to be in their late 70's at the absolute youngest.

You're talking about their children, who have comparatively little (and is coincidentally why a lot of people hate the Boomer generation).
The lack of dual pane support, no tabs for a long time as well and not having "Go to anywhere" prominently on the toolbar itself killed it for me. Also it seems to like to throw me into Recent by default rather than the home directory.

I've since switched to Forklift and occasionally I'd open Path Finder but these are both not that cheap for a basic file manager.
I thought it sounded like Athena. It’s the best CI/CD I’ve ever used despite its quirks. I talk fondly of it at future jobs I’ve gone to
That makes sense. I'm hoping it's going to be an early adopter problem that'll have been solved by the time the transition is deemed complete.

You’re doing a lot of hand waving. That’s not convincing.

An idea that’s been around consistently, supported by a group of people for a long period of time and continually being cited with many concrete examples needs refutation more than “people have better reasons to doubt them”. Again, I’m just replying to the ridiculous original hand wave of “I don’t see it at all”.

Sorry, you may disagree. But you’d have to address years and years of pretty rigorous thought that’s been put into these problems. You won’t convince anyone with appeals to authority or whatever fallacy it is to wave away things based on nothing but “2020” (thought terminating cliche, I guess).

Smart != Wise
Hey HN - author here. Dendron is something I've been more or less thinking about for much of the last decade. It came about because I needed something that could handle the many thousands of notes I've collected over the years.

Every knowledge management tool today suffers from the problem that the more information you put in, the harder it becomes, as a human, to get any of it back out again. Dendron has solved this problem for me and with the release, I hope it can do so for others as well :)
How many processors really will be shipping with dual avx-512. I thought his complaint was in part around the fragmentation here.

Cloudflare had complaints as well. Even if you just have a fraction of your code running 512, you take a big hit.

Cloudflare talks about a 0.3% 512 workload (ie, a cryto library for SSL) blowing up their throughput.

"It is equivalent to giving up on two cores, for nothing."

https://blog.cloudflare.com/on-the-dangers-of-intels-frequen...

Do you / Intel GUARANTEE no frequency scaling to handle 512?

Intel quotes these specs on throughput and seem to do it using full frequency for FP. But if you have 512 in your mix (ie, 1-2% 512) do you really get that speed. Cloudflare talks about frequency dropping to 1.4Ghz
I was going to point this one out. Pretty huge.

I suggested that Signal might deploy an incredibly powerful general-purpose backup system, and then use that backup system for purposes other than storing the social graph. And Signal claims that is not their intent, but they don't rule out storing other thing either. They have already hinted at bigger plans for this system, though not specifically.

I don't think that this is "accusing them of dishonesty", I think it's common sense. And would be happy to bet you money that I'll be right.
