It took me a long time to really believe quotes like that. It’s just not too convincing when the people quoted as saying “you don’t need to be extraordinary” are quotable because they’re extraordinary.

Totally anecdotal: I've been an org-mode user for years, and have spent some time using RoamResearch directly as my primary notetaking tool.

I _still_ haven't figured out how to use org-agenda properly, and it feels like I'm missing a lot of core functionality as a result.

I tried to get into org-brain for a while. It never stuck for me.

RoamResearch was a lot stickier; I may end up back in it at some point because of the mindshare and effort being poured into it. It's a really great product--my threshold for being willing to do my thinking work inside a program that's finely tuned to distract me (the browser) is high, so this is saying something.

In the meantime, though, I've been giving org-roam some love, more than anything else because it's _not_ in the browser distraction machine (to wit, here I am commenting on HN when I should be billing time...). Getting spun up and fully in the habit of using org-roam took me a couple days of background effort. I find it easy enough to forget it's there, which is good enough for me.
Yeah I noticed you can buy large doses of vitamin D in the USA. It is quite cost-effective to get the 5000 or 10000 IU capsules and take one a week. In Australia you can't usually get more than 1000 IU in a capsule at the normal pharmacy.
I think you're engaging in rhetoric here, and it's not very convincing (to me).

I did similar. It is good for cross platform since I use whatsapp on windows too. Funny how people come up with similar things.
Remittances
I agree with the premise here in general. There have certainly been times when I've wanted to accomplish something, but then I see someone else being exceptional at that task and I stop wanting to do it because I know I'll never be that good at it.

When you see someone doing something you do or want to do, and they are exceptional at it, it either becomes inspirational or discouraging based on just how extraordinary it is and how emotionally attached you are to the subject. If you are emotionally committed to it, seeing someone else doing it well will likely be inspirational. If not, you're more likely to give up before you even start.
Ask HN: Does Anyone Want AGI?
There is always a lot of discussion about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and how close we are to achieving that. However, I have so far not seen anyone put forward a convincing argument as to WHY we as citizens of the world would want such a thing.

More advanced machine learning and statistical techniques can help us automate difficult/boring tasks and manage limited resources better, but these do not require AGI.

Can someone convince me how AGI would be beneficial for the world, beyond being scientifically interesting?
The basic rule of thumb I will now use for vitamin D, as a result of this article, will be the same as any other hormone: to commit to having blood hormone levels tested at least twice, once prior to medication (to confirm necessity and safety) and once after every 6-12 weeks of medication (ramping up through annually, once the dose is calibrated, until treatment ends).

If you don’t test it before, you have no idea whether you’re treating anything or not. If you don’t test it after, you have no idea whether you’re taking too little or too much. If you don’t test it every couple months at first, you won’t be able to calibrate your dosage levels properly.

That’s a lot of blood tests, but the alternative is risking wasting your time and money, or wasting your health, time, and money, on potentially useless or harmful dosages. And if you don’t think it’s worth a blood test, you probably ought not take it.

(I do not currently need to take vitamin D, thanks blood tests!)
Please don't, unless your expertise is comparable to that of the physician who wrote the article.

'Happiness' studies show up now and again and I've got to say that I've always found them suspect. The polling, the questions, the conclusions are so fungible that I find it hard to believe that there's any value in them.

Satisfaction is a more interesting measure and isn't necessarily reflected in questions of how "happy" you are. I bet a poll would find that start-up founders are less happy than people with stable jobs at large corporations. Does that prove anything about whether or not someone should do a start-up?

you will probably never find someone who has the exact same taste in literature, film, and music as you do. in my whole life, I've met only a couple people that share my taste in movies, tv, or music, but never someone with the same taste in all mediums. this doesn't necessarily preclude having a fulfilling relationship with someone though. there are plenty of people out there that are into film, music, and/or literature; they just won't have the exact same taste as you. if you're willing to let them pick some of the time, you could have a great relationship. weirdly enough, it can also be great to date someone who is totally apathetic towards your passion. I dated a girl in college who just didn't care about music at all. it was fantastic; I played whatever I wanted all the time! in some ways, it can be easier to date someone with mostly orthogonal interests.

in my experience, relationships are a lot more "practical" than we like to think. stuff like how your daily routines mesh together tends to matter a lot more than sharing each other's deepest passions. the meaning of "a clean house" can be much more impactful than the meaning of "a good film".
Journals employ copy editors to address just those sorts of mistakes, why should we not hold software to the same standard as academic language? But more importantly, these software best practices aren't mere "grammatical mistakes," they exist because well-organized, well-tested code has fewer bugs and is easier for third parties to verify. Third-parties validating that the code underlying an academic paper executes as expected is no different than third-parties replicating the results of a physical experiment. You can be damn sure that an experimental methodology error invalidates a paper, and you can be damn sure that bad documentation of the methodology dramatically reduces the value/reliability of the paper. Code is no different. It's just been the wild west because it is a relatively new and immature field, so most academics have never been taught coding as a discipline nor held to rigorous standards in their own work. Is it annoying that they now have to learn how to use these tools properly? I'm sure it is. That doesn't mean it isn't a standard we should aim for, nor that we shouldn't teach the relevant skills to current students in sciences so that they are better prepared when they become researchers themselves.
I am referring to this blog post:

https://lockdownsceptics.org/code-review-of-fergusons-model/

It says, word-by-word:

> Clearly, the documentation wants us to think that, given a starting seed, the model will always produce the same results.

>

>Investigation reveals the truth: the code produces critically different results, even for identical starting seeds and parameters.

> I’ll illustrate with a few bugs. In issue 116 a UK “red team” at Edinburgh University reports that they tried to use a mode that stores data tables in a more efficient format for faster loading, and discovered – to their surprise – that the resulting predictions varied by around 80,000 deaths after 80 days: ...

The bugs which the blog post implies here are such ones as described by Jens Regehr: https://blog.regehr.org/archives/213

Not that I do not endorse these statements in the blog - I am rather skeptical whether they are true at all.

What the authors of the blob post mean is clearly "undefined behaviour" in the sense of non-deterministic program execution of a program that is not well-formed. It is clear that many non-experts could confuse that with the pseudo-randomness implicit in Monte-Carlo simulations, but this is a very different thing. The first is basically a broken, invalid, and untrustworthy program. The second is the established method to produce a computational result by introducing stochastic behavior, which is for example how modern weather models work.

These are wildly different things. I do not understand why your comment just adds to the confusion between these two things??

> A bunch of (pretty stupid) nonexperts want to criticize your code, so they feel smart on the internet.

As said, I don't endorse the critique in the blog. However, critique in a software implementation, as well as in scientific matters, should never carry a call on authority - it should logically explain what is the problem, with concrete points. Unfortunately, the cited blog post remains very vague about this, while claiming:

> My background. I have been writing software for 30 years. I worked at Google between 2006 and 2014, where I was a senior software engineer working on Maps, Gmail and account security. I spent the last five years at a US/UK firm where I designed the company’s database product, amongst other jobs and projects. I was also an independent consultant for a couple of years.

It would be much better if, instead claiming that there could be race conditions, it could point to lines in the code with actual race conditions, and show how the results of the simulation are different when the race conditions are fixed. Otherwise, it just looks like he claims that the program is buggy, because he is in no position to question the science, and does not like the result.
.Net has CoreRT to compile to native and the JVM has Graal Native Image.

I've had success deploying native services using Quarkus [0] for Java.

Additionally in modern java you would use jlink [1] to produce a minimal jvm image that ships with your application. No need to install.

Do I understand it correctly? Basically, a developer would create new functionalities for the Shopify platform and Shopify will take 10/20% commission depending on the store plan from the developer?

I personally would suggest to start a business creating WooCommerce websites. At least you'll be owning the whole profit and would not depend from the whishes and decisions of a wannabe BigCorp. As an additional plus you help spreading open source software.
What's the challenges involved in making a actually portable executable that is a compiler that can create actually portable executables. Why muck with getting a gcc running on windows or whatever if you don't have to? If you only mess with c once a year or so, getting compilers set up is a pain.

Null-safety Part 1: The Problem
This. I absolutely agree there needs to be more transparency, and scientific code should be as open as possible. But this should not replace replication.
One of the best points the author hits on is the benefit of platforms for MicroSaaS companies. Having a reliable source of highly qualified prospects makes it much easier to build out a profitable SaaS business because you can spend most of your time building while still closing customers.

The tough thing about this is that the ease of building into the platform also attracts a lot of competition (which the author mentions in the post too). Getting in on a fast growing platform early is really beneficial because you can arbitrage the opportunity before others get into the platform. My startup was probably one of the first 50 apps in the Slack app store when it launched in December 2015.

Since then, there's been about 5 dozen startups who are in the space now, but that early Slack platform momentum gave us enough of a lead to build a real business closing in on $1M ARR with 5 people.
So how do you propose a better test? It seems like you slid easily past that point. To determine whether or not it requires 10% higher taxes, as you suggest, we would have to conduct a test large enough to have an appreciable impact on tax allocation, which seems like it would need to be a really wide test, like state-wide, that lasts for a at least a few years, no?

I guess that's what I'm not seeing: any tests done so far are too small and not long enough and are known ahead of time to be a test. Okay, fine, let's conduct a test that's larger and long-term, with an eye toward permanence. How large, though?How do we avoid the criticism seen on this very page that limiting the number of people involved distorts things? How do we avoid the converse, which is that unless you're Alaska, letting it be known that everyone in a certain area gets free money means an artificial boom in that area?
>The very crowd that is always demanding "diversity", is also the crowd destroying actual diversity by destroying differences and trying to turn us all into the same, equal thing.

The rest of your argument makes sense, but this part doesn't.

Not being beaten by police or being verbally abused because of your skin colour is the opposite of 'turn us all into the same, equal thing'

Those peopl just want equal rights. Is it that hard to understand?
Having an Xdmf file alongside is nice, but the breaking changes between v2 and v3 are very annoying. And I understand the want to have few external dependencies, but at least HDF5 is straight forward to compile and available as a pre-compiled module on all supercomputers that I have ever seen.
I've had a deficiency diagnosed, I'm worried about the prescribed integrators, since everyone is suggesting daily doses and I'm taking 15000ui/month in a single dose. what's better?
>GetComponent<>, possibly the most used Unity function, can easily trigger bugs because Unity does not statically verify that the component you're looking up exists

I'm pretty sure checking this statically is simply fundamentally impossible since components can be removed at runtime.
At first my reaction was this must have been a one-off case, usually I see D3 in bottles with 500IU, who is taking 10 vitamins thinking this is right?

But I looked it up and there are 5,000IU capsules being marketed now. That seems like a problem. People are going to naturally expect 1-3 pills of anything are safe. Dangerous design.

FDA does take complaints/reports, I wonder if enough people complained they would pull the high dose pills.
It came across to me as a warning that we wouldn’t be so cavalier about any other hormone, so we shouldn’t be with Vitamin D either. In that context it’s fine.
I think you touched on something important. Researchers are most concerned with “getting things working”.

One of my favorite points from the book Clean Code was that professional developers aren’t satisfied with “working code”, they aim to make it maintainable. Which may mean writing it in a way that is more clear and concise than we are used to
700 usd a year for the library for a developer. It saves us a ton of time as its a B2B business and we use a lot of stuff like a calendar view, gantt diagrams and scheduling. Rewriting it from scratch of adapting a random set of components would be more expensive in time and resources.
The weird quirks are acerbated by Arbitration clauses designed to keep disagreements from ever going to court and instead being handled by "closed door, opaque third party negotiators". Until Apple closed the contract indicating a breach, Epic would have been forced to go to Arbitration to settle the matter, rather than get their day in court.
In my opinion an elevator never counts as a disability device. In case of fire they are not safe to use in general, leaving those who need them trapped.

I agree that the disabled need access to everything, I don't have a solution to the problem.

Ya, OP is wisdom-free whinge fest.

From the OP:

"Historically, political and economic dominance have dictated building styles."

Well, ya. But what of the material and technical?

I'm very interested in differences. Yayaya, everything's the same. Hegemony, "kids these days", and other old saws.

But things are also different. If you look long enough, close enough.

Why?

Even in the small, differences are really very interesting, can have far reaching impacts.

I've been slowly remodeling my house, built in the 50s. The 30 years I've owned this house, the available materials, technologies, and products have greatly changed. Frankly, it's hard for a noob casual like me to keep up.

But even with my limited awareness, I can see how each new innovation impacts new construction. For better or worse, depending on one's esthetics.

These differences percolate out.

One of the few perks of getting older is the opportunity to see the changes on a longer time scale.

I've seen comments to the effect of "standing outside on a sunny day in a bathing suit for five minutes is the equivalent of 10,000 IU vitamin D." No idea if that's true, and obviously UV exposure has other risks, but strictly speaking, could vitamin D ever be boosted to harmful levels by UV alone?
Yes, people should evaluate ha needs in terms of business needs: what happens if my website goes down? Will I lose money? How much money?

"How much money?" Is probably the most import question, as it actually helps in evaluating if there's a business case for investing into the financial commitment, engineering effort and maintenance burden of an ha solution.

On a different note, I've seen mysql-based multi-master setups and it's really a joy to be able to treat a mysql crashing as a minor annoyance instead of a call to fire-fighting.
Well, yes. But does the region have significantly less sunlight than others? Or is it just the people in question didn't get nearly as much exposure?
Simple answer for that. University pay scales tend to be fairly inflexible in terms of which grades you are eligible for without a PhD, if you are counted as academic staff. If you're non-academic staff (like the cleaner, the receptionist, and the central IT sysadmin) then you can be paid a fair wage based upon your experience, but if you are academic staff, then you have a hard ceiling without a PhD. An individual research group with a grant may only be able to hire academic staff, but they want a sysadmin, so in order to be able to pay them more than a pittance they would have to have a PhD.
I've written quite a number of emulators and file format parses in JavaScript. What was missing for you?
A lot of privacy apps made to spy on people :-(
Conversely though, it is often impossible to obtain the original code to replay and identify differences once that step is reached without some sort of strong incentive or mandate for researchers to publish it. When the only copy is lost in the now-inaccessible home folder of some former grad student's old lab machine, there is a strong disincentive to try replicating at all because one has little to consult on whether/how close the replicated methods are to the original ones.
National Class Action – Lockdown (Australia)
I first encountered this notion playing D&D of all things.

The concept of dual/multi-classing, and what later became prestige classes/archetypes in later editions was all about highlighting that the sum of the parts was greater than the whole.

There was a trade-off of course, especially in the early/mid levels as other solo-class characters started coming into their stride with higher-tier abilities. If you made it past that stage as you continued developing your other class(s), you really ended up with a unique character.
They are stored in the cloud, mainly so everything isn't lost with the device.
The first time I got even close to a custom web page (internal request system for our team), the devs did this. They wrote it as two Bottle (python) applications: One was the API for the app, the other was the delivery of the Javascript to the client, which called the API.
A fixation on being extraordinary tends to indicate too much self absorption and a lack of perspective. It seems like another antidote is focusing more on the impact you want to have on the world and those around you, even if no one ever knew about it.
the template rendering lives side by side with the controllers, why would it make an api call?

But something similar but not the same as that was the norm during the jquery era before the early js frameworks arised (backbone, ember et all). You had your full-stack server-side MVC framework render initial views and from there the js would pick up and all UI interactivity would be ajax calls to the restful(ish) api. It was pretty terrible.
