It's ironic because the same tools can be used to empower your thinking[0]. Instead of collecting notes, note taking utilities can be used as a sort of L2 cache when you're trying to think something through. E.g. most of my problem solving involves repeated sessions with a text file, in which I dump my stream of thought and refine it. Sometimes it means literally talking with myself via a text file, sometimes it's constructing an artifact (like a prioritized list of things to do). Same tool, slightly different approach.

Fair Point but I from the viewpoint of someone who has already purchased an iOS device, Apple is the only mall. That is the problem, not the existence of the stores themselves. In the case of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo they do operate the same kind of platforms which are equally scummy in my opinion, but honestly not on my Radar as I don't really play console games.

In the case of Google I would like to disagree, if only for the fact that I have options as where to procure my software and run it in a manner that is intended, but I must concede that it is more cumbersome that I would like. That is the key difference that makes what Apple does so egregious, and why I don't really have much problems with Google at the current time.

For me it is not about the fees or the stores, its that Apple in practice forbids anyone in the digital marketplace to do business with any of their consumers unless it goes through them, as they own the app store and for the average user, their devices only run apps that are on the app store.
Epic is in no position to reject the proposition of using Apple's payment service or their store entirely and still do business with the million of customers that are playing Fortnite.

Apple should be definitely be able to charge for the access to their App store customer base, but Epic should be allowed to reject that price and still be allowed to do business with the iOS user base on their own terms, just like they did on Android with side loading before striking a deal to be on the Google Play store.
The epoll code use is very small, few hundreds of LOC (but is at the very center of the framework since it runs the event loop), actually writing it from scratch was better to understand the mechanism, to optimize it and to adapt it for non blocking sql.
Removable batteries of the same size have less life and need to be replaced more frequently. For a given volume of battery, no removable gives you longer life for a single use and a longer usable life in general before it needs to be replaced.
I wonder what would happen if Facebook and the other megacorps currently objecting loudly to Apple's policies on this topic lobbied a government or two to legislate mandatory disclosure of this 'tax' at point of sale, as well as the restriction on mentioning app developers' other points of sale, overriding any contractual agreements or corporate policies to the contrary.

For example, requiring language like this on the final confirmation screen before completing each purchase:

"Legal notice: Apple will receive 30% of the price you pay to purchase this app or to make purchases within this app. Apple does not allow this app to mention or direct you to any other way of making purchases from this app's developer which does not involve paying Apple 30%."

(Naturally the law would be written not to be specific to Apple or to the 30% number, and a given app store's version of the notice could omit the parts which don't apply to that store's policies.)
Would this run on my rPi 4 with 8gb of ram?
You could do the same. Your opinions were not solicited.

I'm not even talking about consciousness, just basic computation in neural networks. How does the very simplest animal decide whether to move left or right in the presence of a stimulus? Can we influence that thought, not at the sensory/motor level, but at the computational level?

These are unanswered problems in worms. They are unanswered even in single-celled organisms, or at least in colonies of single-celled organisms, such as slime mold.

So I don't believe that any kind of IO will be achievable in the next hundred years, beyond possibly interpreting motor functions, and perhaps providing simple sensory input.
> we cannot just ask a computer to find a proof or refutation of Goldbach's Conjecture or other "Goldbach-type" statement and have it do any better than a person

We don't know exactly how good people are at this. Perhaps there's some tier of intelligence that is better than people but worse than the all-powerful algorithm that Gödel proved can't exist.

For instance, a machine that is merely faster would be better than we are. A machine that could instantly simulate an entire civilization from the beginning of time, generate entire generations of mathematicians, and simulate their thinking for thousands of subjective years and then hand you back the results of their thinking would be better at it than we are, even if it wouldn't be better in the sense of being able to deterministically decide whether there's an answer or not.
Don't know really.

"If computer scientists are ever able to program a kind of synthetic intuition, he says, it still won’t rival that of humans. "

Famous last words, rather similar to the initial comments made by Lee Sedol before starting his famous game against AlphaGo.

I don't think machine will ever replace mathematicians. However, I'm ready to bet that most Mathematicians in the coming 50 years who discovers anything useful will do so with CAM (computer assisted math) tools, in the same way no one designs any kind of building in 2020 without the help of a computer.

In our 2018 survey, 56% of people used nightly. In 2019, it was down to 30%.

Routines slow life down, for me at least. I get things done every day that each week when I reflect on it, I realize just how much I got accomplished. The individual days feel short but the week feels long.

In the other mode, if I'm a zombie most days, while the day itself feels long, the week feels short.
Right, the initial were benefits offered by employers to sweeten their compensation and improve retention. Later unions demanded these everywhere and that’s what led to employer sponsored health insurance being normalized.

Separating the consumer of a insurance (the employee) from the decision of which insurance to use (the employer) is where this all went sideways.

Otherwise, in a competitive market, people would be free to jump to any provider with a better offer, forcing other providers to respond and preventing the disaster that we have now.

But now it’s a national mess to unravel and we have union demands to thank for it.

You need the retry button anyway, in case the server is throwing errors. And there's often no good place for a cancel button, without putting up a big 'Loading' animation.

Most people won’t be waiting for a charge since you do it over night and have what you need each morning. DC fast charging can be bad but it depends on a lot of factors - it’s also a lot faster than people think. Often your car will be charged enough before you have time to eat a quick snack or use the restroom.

There’s also this misconception that you have to charge all the way up. Doing so will do more long term damage to your pack and take forever the higher the SoC.
Quite possibly. The android build ran for me on a cheap fire tablet, which has much less than 8gb of RAM iirc.

"It is possible to slow time somewhat"

I've discovered how during a holiday in a camper 2 years ago. Do a -lot- of new things on a single day. We had a 6 day trip and it felt like 3 weeks. It was magic. While routine and habits have their place, if you want to slow down or bend the flow of time - do new things every day.
Bikes vs. cars also gets hit with the squared-cubed law. Energy storage scales with the cube of vehicle size, while frontal area scales with the square. Air drag accounts for the majority of energy usage at highway speed, so for the same vehicle shape, range scales with size. Add the fact that bikes have a high Cd compared to cars and range is always going to be markedly less.

Linux had a pretty strong amateur game scene back in the day before Steam came along. I spent so much time trying out different games from The Linux Game Tome.

SuperTuxKart is one of those games that has been in development for years and years. It was originally forked from TuxKart by passionate people with overly optimistic plans. Looks like it's come a long way now though.

Another similar project is https://www.supertux.org/.

Tux Racer is another notable Tux game, but it's commercial fork meant it felt less collaborative than the others.

Everyone here is reading this article as a cautionary tale on procrastination. To me it’s about the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves. Maybe that’s due to our fake meritocratic society, or comparisons made on social media, or our parents expectations.

I thought I’d be a millionaire by now, changing the world for the better, with a Wikipedia page and a yacht. But what I really want now is to put down the measuring stick, and be ok with being me. It’s time to stop beating myself up for not living up to the absurd expectations I set for myself as a child.
App stores, and their restrictions, aren't ridiculous. They are a consequence of an Internet filled with viruses, malware, and spam.

The only thing I blame Apple for is not allowing installing apps from third-party sources, after you tick a checkbox in settings, like Android does. I would even accept a loss of warranty on doing that, because I'm a big boy, I understand the consequences, and I want to take that risk.

Otherwise let's be honest, people actually love a curated app store, and you're in a tiny minority.
That human cognition is quantum in nature - that e.g. entanglement is necessary - may be unfalsifiable.

Neuromorphic engineering has expanded since the 1980s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromorphic_engineering

Quantum computing is the best known method for simulating chemical reactions and thereby possibly also neurochemical reactions. But,
Is quantum computing necessary to functionally emulate human cognition?

It may be that a different computation medium can accomplish the same tasks without emulating all of the complexity of the brain.

If the brain is only classical and some people are using their brains to perform quantum computations, there may be something there.

first you need to intuit how a cartesian coordinate system works so you understand how a graph works

differential calculus is about rate of change:
simplest case means slope or rise over run, practical case means estimating the slope of the portion of a curve.

This can be a real physical curve or it can be a curve defined by a plot of numeric values on a graph

integral calculus is about estimating the area defined by a curve this is a game of cutting the area up into pieces adding up all the regular pieces and estimating the little pieces that fill in the edges.

FWIW to you here is a wiki link re calculus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus

and cartesian coordinate:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

for cartesian coordinate graphs you should understand euclidian geometry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_geometry

and likewise euclidian geometry requires algebra:

> people just recycle because it’s in front of them

People skip the reduce&reuse and go straight to recycle because it allows them to signal that virtue without actually doing all that much after all. It is still better than nothing but it's more signal than virtue. It's quite possibly the least anyone can do in terms of effort, throw the copious amounts of trash in 2-3 bins instead of one.

It's the same with EVs. Where the focus should be to reduce the use of cars (with many, many benefits that come as side effects), we actually encourage people to drive more by moving the costs upfront in the purchase price and making driving even cheaper. This means people will have to get their money's worth by driving more. It also allows people to have a massive carbon footprint while still virtue signaling via the fact that they drive an EV, or recycle the battery.

I don't have to look any further than my closest neighbor who buys a new SUV every 2 years, the latest being a Model X. Just a couple of months ago in casual conversation he pointed out the fact that I own a (admittedly old, decade+) gasoline car, even if with a tiny engine. It would be much cleaner to buy an EV he says. No consideration to the fact that recently I drive my car under 2000Km per year and ride a bicycle or public transport as much as I reasonably can.

> A tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a governmental organization

Apple pretty much is the government when it comes to the App Store. A single entity, monopoly powers, no competition, makes all the rules and is allowed to enforce them without penalty. “Tax” is a pretty apt term for the 30%.
But knowledge is understanding.

We often mislabel 'information' as 'knowledge'. But information is just information. A 'knowledge base' is no such thing; it's an information base. Knowledge is not 'memory of facts'.

Knowledge == information + understanding.

Wisdom == information + understanding + experience.

Example: Python syntax is information. Understanding and using Python syntax is knowledge. Knowing when Python isn't what you need is wisdom.

> Once again it is not the speech which is the problem but rather the actual harm which you helped to cause.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work as outlawing harm from speech ends up outlawing political speech because someone doesn’t get elected. Similarly, advertising your product is detrimental to your competition.

Effectively you need to define what kinds of harm speech is allowed to produce. Anti Vaccination videos for example actually get people killed, and we accept that as a valid trade off in the US.

Again, it’s really tempting to define something as outside of free speech but selecting what is and isn’t allowed is kind of the point. So, you can’t simply punt this issue.
This is debatable. The end of our monetary path is probably not great. But with every major currency doing some form of QE, the ultimate outcome is uncertain. The current velocity of money seems to point to deflation in the near term. If inflation picks up, the Fed has a number of tools at their disposal. I distrust anyone who speaks confidently of the future in this arena.
Could you please link to a few of these posts? Partly because it would be wrong to speak ill of someone without proof and also because I'm curious.
I really, highly doubt that. Autodetecting and using proper settings for a newly-discovered display device (projector) is fundamentally a software consideration, not hardware: the hardware into which you connect the display is capable of talking to it (maybe not at ideal resolution depending on specs, but whatever), but the OS needs to discover, detect, and configure the new connection properly.

The same is true for Zoom: things like accelerated video streaming are universally supported on laptop GPUs, but software support is spotty for some apps/OSes. Things like screen sharing are 100% software-side.

While I'd love to use a Linux workstation (and often do), it's simply not there yet in those areas. That has nothing to do with "high-end hardware" and everything to do with less robust software support than many alternatives--including MacOS.

I guess you could make the case that because MacOS has to support fewer kinds of hardware, they can spend more time on making software support robust, but I'm neither convinced of that argument nor convinced that's what you meant by your post.
But I had, and I can tell from experience, it's the one Internet activity where I find it hard to determine its net value.

With anything else - TV shows, Reddit, Facebook, browsing memes - I can tell the marginal value becomes negative very quickly (after satiating the basic need to relax/unwind). So it makes sense to spend some, but only a little time on this.

But with HN... it feels like the above, except every other week I'll find some thought that will improve my understanding of the world. Every other month I'll find a tool that solves a problem or improves something in the projects I'm working on. Every couple years I hit something that essentially alters the course of my career. And around people I work with, I'm known to be the guy that, when told a problem, half of the time will point out a solution mentioned in some HN comment a year earlier (thank $deity for Algolia making finding it again easier).

So bottomline, I suspect the total net value of HN for me, after accounting for opportunity costs, is actually slightly positive. At least the procrastinator in me keeps saying that, conveniently omitting the confidence interval, which is absurdly wide.

There's this big "Aha" moment I had while reading a book this vacation; I realised that I wanted to be financially secure since it was the only means available in today's society to be "set" - secure.

If I was to live in a small community where I'd know my neighbours, everyone did the things most valuable to the community - farm, smith, care, socialise, guard - and I knew everyone had each other's back, this would give the same feeling.

Alas, we live in a disconnected society, not even close to having local ties, so we feel we have to earn a ton of money in order to survive by buying our security.
I like Musk, he is an awesome manager and inspirer, and clearly technically smart. But the actual breakthroughs come from the actual science by the actual scientists. And the actual scientists know how little do we know about the world (and brain in particular).
Funniest thing I read all day. But coincidentally I was reading this book earlier called Chasing dalylight. For those who don't know, it was written by the ex-CEO of KPMG and how he spent his life doing things like taking 36 hour flights from NY to Australia just to get 30 minute facetime with someone (iirc) and he was hoping to retire peacefully with all his money when he was diagnosed with brain cancer and given 5 months to live.

Really interesting book about how we waste away our present for future that we may never get.

There are a lot of events on GitHub by users. I don't think they include the object blobs, so the timeline is actually pretty small (I think dataset was in terabytes).
