The trick to LA is that it is huge, and you will tend to gravitate to certain parts. Different parts have different attractions. When I met my wife we both lived near by Fairfax & 3rd, which meant I could walk to her apartment. What didn't occur to me at the time was that we lived close to each other because we liked a lot of the same things and had similar life priorities. In retrospect location was a sorting mechanism that worked great for us.
Non-thermal, so, ionizing? Ionizing microwave radiation? Which doesn't exist?
Interesting that this froze my entire browser for like 10 seconds when I clicked it. Could these technologies (webgl I think?) be used as a venue for a DoS?
i have been following you for a little while now. i havent seen any of your work, but i think mock ups might help people understand what you do and how you do it.

my advice is to not get involved with govt. it is a goat rodeo starring drunk monkeys. start communities of 25-50 people..and start nesting them to form bigger communities. create income stream for community members and obtain a percentage of it for managing them.

also: work with the dunbar number.

good luck.
Great to hear. Good luck with UserTrack.
If you didn't have to work with RPG ("Report Program Generator"), count yourself fortunate.
I find amusing the fact that Fernando Flores, in charge of implementing this project, worked with Allende. Decades later he supported Sebastián Piñera's first presidential candidacy, obtaining a position under his conservative government. Talk about contrasts.
Yeah I was kinda wondering that too
I guess it’s good to add 5G to the baseline feature checklist so that I can use 5G when it rolls out in my city in 3-5 years time, but I don’t see it as a headline feature unless carriers use it to provide much cheaper data plans (haha).
I'm not the one who called out this site, and this one "OK" with its semantic HTML for the article content (though outside of that it has a bit more soup than it probably needs). It does render a bunch of stuff with JavaScript though so that's not great :(
lol - so you want to cite the study, but when you don't like what it says you just decide that you can dismiss that part of it? Why did I even bother...
> In the past, when a construct like 'intelligence' has been hard to pin down, science moves on--leaves it to 'philosophy' and works with formal definitions.

Yes, that's part of the point, your wording is better than mine. If we're sticking to a purely historical perspective, this is definitely what happened. Most disciplines that today we (rightfully) regard as fully independent, originally splintered off philosophy (the most obvious examples are mathematics and physics, but even something like economics, in spite of having become more formalized recently, undoubtedly originates from moral philosophy).

> You seem to be sweeping something important under the rug because it's hard to pin down, and saying that this is what science has done in the past--and if so, you're right.

I won't deny that strictly speaking there is a bit of inductivism at play here. Historically, the scientific approach of limiting the domain of discourse to a tractable subset has been so much more productive and successful than any alternative that my, as it were, "bayesian prior", is that we should replicate the same approach if possible at all.

> So from my perspective, it doesn't matter that whatever 'intelligence' is, is hard to pin down: it's still got to be figured out, whether or not it's difficult.

This is a reasonable position, but wouldn't you agree that it's more of a "moral intuition" (not that there's anything wrong with that!) than a position regarding how ML results ought to be interpreted? As such I have no real counterpoints to offer, except perhaps an utilitarian point of view: are you really sure that banging your head against this very specific wall is the most productive thing to do?

Most problems I see with AI arise from either flat out using the models incorrectly (i.e. mathematically wrong, not ethically wrong, which is what I was pointing out in my previous comments) or from already familiar "political" problems, i.e. incentives, transparency, privacy, openness of the decision-making process.

The good news is that none of that is new. The bad news is that our track record as a species on problems of that kind is abysmal. I doubt that, in any case, trying to halt scientific progress makes sense.
This has absolutely no relevance to anything I've said. I am pretty obviously not denying the reality facing us (in the US) that our legal framework for intellectual property is impossible to completely opt out of.

Please see my other comments in this thread for more details on my position.

Well, sure. Look at the Pixel phones: the Pixel 1 was released Oct 2016 and support ended Dec 2019, and the Pixel 2 was released Oct 2017 and they'll be dropping support this year after updating to Android 11.

Even with Nest specifically they dropped Works With Nest support last year, effectively killing off the many integrations that had been built since 2014 in favor of their newer Works with Google Assistant program.

I have noticed the significant uptick in vitamin D articles. It is probably related to the current pandemic, but can someone with the necessary background explain (and direct to explanations) how important vitamin D is in the grand scheme of things. Does its common deficiency compare with the effect of the typical over consumption of sugars or with the effects of a typical sedentary live?
Even if your bodies are pretty similar, you still don't know if your vitamin D levels will follow the pattern that his did. If you're messing with vitamin D supplements you should talk to a doctor and/or get your blood tested.
> Firstly, this is contestable, and secondly it creates a tautology.

I didn't say it was incontestable. I only said that it seems to be the case and that the evidence seems to favor that opinion. It would be more interesting to hear why you think it is contestable. Also, I'm not sure how this is tautological.

> But also - consider that that humans have cognitive and physical limits.

If anything, that would seem to suggest that these impose a bound on how much we can automate. Arguably, this means an upper bound would be determined by the maintainability of such technologies.

> Even if there is in principle always new opportunity created by automation, which I do find plausible, I see no logic supporting the idea that these new opportunities would necessarily be widely addressable by the majority of humans.

If you are making that claim on the basis of cognitive limitations, then see my previous point. But by the same token, if cognitive limitations impose a limit, then it would seem to suggest that the problem space would require a greater division of labor in order to render it tractable.
On further thought, two high vents, two low vents.

Winter: lower vents on (one inlet, one outlet). upper closed.

Summer: upper vents on (one inlet, one outlet). lower closed.

The vents should be far apart to ensure cirulation (definitely not next to each other).
Bank reserve ratios [1] operate as a percentage, so by creating more bank reserves, you create more money that can be lent out. Say that the reserve ratios requirement is 10%, which it currently is. Then for every dollar it has in reserves, the bank may create $10 in loans. The bank reserves don't themselves circulate as money, but they let the bank create more credit, which does circulate as money.

As I understood it -- if you're tested low, you can take 5 - 10k per day for about a month to restore your levels, then drop down to 2 - 5k daily. High doses over a long period is toxic, and low doses are ineffective.
The wealthy own a lot more assets than the poor, therefore asset inflation increases inequality.

I'm not sure why some of the comments seems to be arguing over a point that's complete irrelevant to the key information revealed in this thread. No one in their right mind would think the fed physically printed those money overnight. It may not be money actually printed, but it's definitely money can be printed. The only difference is that with all the financial technologies and tools available, it doesn't have to be printed. Just like how we use credit card, it doesn't have to be physical money, but the money is there, dub, so HN please discuss on what's actually important here, will those money have an effect on everyday life? Eventually yes. And wealth disparity will certainly grow larger. You will need more money to buy assets, it will be harder to get rich. inflation on common good will only happen when everyone gets portion of the money; if it doesn't, it means everyone collectively have about the same to spend on day to day life. Yet, eventually, it will bites back, it means only some people have get the money printed, and those will be the wallstreet

I would have to look it up but there were studies finding that a vitamin D deficiency correlated with a higher risk of developing severe cases of Covid-19.

If there is a causal relationship (i.e. better vitamin D levels will reduce the risk) or if this is because of a confounding factor is not known, as far as I know. A confounding factor could e.g. be a more healthy lifestyle in general. Running outdoors will expose people to more sunlight which leads to more vitamin D production - while couch potatoes with an unhealthy lifestyle would get less sunlight and lower vitamin D levels. In this case, supplementing vitamin D might have little to no effect - because all it would do is raising the vitamin D levels while the person still would have bad health because of their lifestyle.

10 Things That Hackers Love
I may be the only person who has never taken the time to figure out how to intentionally call the reachability feature. I just know that sometimes everything shifts down on the screen and it has never been on purpose, and then I have to figure out how to undo it - usually by turning the screen off and back on.

I am on the 11 (I think? I've lost track, but its the one with three cameras), and the screen is slightly too large for easy one-handed use, at least in my case. I might opt for the mini if/when I decided to get a new phone, but throwing $1000 at a new toy just because it's slightly more comfortable in my hand feels like a very "first-world" solution to a not-really-problem. None of the other features this phone comes with feel like they bring any extra value to my life or warrant an upgrade.

But hey, newer, faster chips mean it can probably run Doom now, right?
Is Dropbox dead?
This is how you get market capa that are 40x annual revenue. It is the potential of extraction.

Nothing new: Oracle has paved the way with Java and databases. Exploit the potential until the last customer leaves. Which makes a corollary: Most of the revenue of a company happens when customers are massively leaving.
Especially given that people will store their credit cards inside the stick-on leather sleeve held directly against the magnet.
You can't define inflation as you want. Inflation is an government official indicator with a very clear meaning.
Frankly I'd love to have some type of Google/Dropbox VFS where I could store unlimited TB's of my movies connected to my kodi player and it would just transparently pull the file down like you can do with Dropbox Enterprise, vs. keeping my NAS backup in Glacier Deep Archive.

The issue is it would cost 100+$/month to keep it in regular S3, and I'm sure Google is losing money on other folks importing TBs of data to their unlimited service unfortunately.
Semantic Sidenotes, Without JavaScript
The original iPhone SE (same size as the iPhone 5) would have about a 5" screen if it was edge-to-edge[1], and this is 5.4", so probably larger than the old SE and smaller than the new SE.

Yup, this gets it right.

As a thought experiment, imagine someone builds a real, functional money printer in their basement and dialed it to print 10% of current M1.

Would prices at the grocery suddenly skyrocket? Obviously not. Even though the money printer is running, and the money supply has grown, no one really knows about it. Even if a press release was put out about the increase in M1, there would likely not be CPI inflation (putting aside any concern about the money printer itself).

Now, to take the example further, let's say the owner of the money printer started buying up real estate with the cash. Would you see CPI? Still, no. You'd probably see some inflation in the local areas where the real estate was being purchased, if it was done in sufficient volume.

Now, to bring the argument to a close, what if you started buying junk bonds and securitized mortgages? Would you see CPI inflation? No. Would you see asset price increases? Yes, probably. It would be hard to correlate the asset price increases to the money printing, which might be the point. Mortgage originators can start climbing the risk ladder now that the money printer is buying up all these securitized mortgages, and companies can also behave in more risky ways and know that they'll get the financing from the money printer. Increased risk can drive an increase in earnings, which will be rewarded with stock appreciation.

With the money printer stepping in and providing loose financing, the cost of money goes down. Now, previous money lenders have a harder time getting yield, and may climb the risk ladder as well to find the yield they need. This will also be seen in asset appreciation, across bonds, stocks, real estate, & more.

My initial reaction was the same — maybe we'd get one for our kid's room. But then I saw that Intercom supports all iOS devices, so probably we'd just put an old iPhone or iPad in there instead.

But it's not 100% clear if when they say Intercom supports all iOS/WatchOS/MacOS devices, they mean you can communicate from one of those devices to a HomePod, or whether you can communicate amongst any of those devices (no HomePod required).

No. I think what the poster is saying is that running a government deficit is printing money. Fiscal policy is money printing, not monetary policy. This is very much not what is colloquially known as money printing, rather it's the basis of modern money theory.

Monetary policy is just swapping one kind of USD denominated assets for another. It doesn't really change the size of private bank balance sheets, hence it is not the printing of money. But increasing the size of the deficit does indeed increase the sizes of private bank balance sheets.

Reachability has come a long way, too. On TouchID phones, it was always fiddly, double-touching (but not pressing) the home button, but the gesture that replaced it on FaceID devices feels natural. I was originally apprehensive about moving to a larger phone yet again after the iPhone 6, but it has more or less made "big phones" a non-issue for me.

There are one or two apps I use that seem to reliably have the touchUpInside issue you describe, so I wonder if it's down to their implementation. The Redfin app in particular is terrible with this.
The way I avoid stressing about this is by realizing that the iPhone camera is still way worse than a real dedicated camera with a large optical path (lens and sensor). If you care about good photos, the Pro Max won't get you that far in the grand scheme of things.
Ask HN: Getting out of the expert beginner path
Hi folks, it's time for me to look for new jobs but I've realized that I've been constantly following an "expert beginner path". I'm pretty lost about what to do next so I need your help.

I've always worked at small places that needed a programmer to create small projects, some years ago I worked at a startup with no success and the last six years I've been working as the sole developer of a non profit.

I've built projects using Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Vision, scraping libraries, Lucene based search engines, WordPress and more but they were all small projects, like the ones you can find on a "basic tutorial blog post". I've never need to structure the code in a scalable way because no one but me will see the code and also because it doesn't made sense to invest time to build scalable and readable code for such small projects.

That's why I consider myself an expert beginner, I'm able to get code to run and I've never got to the stage of not knowing how to solve a technical problem, but I don't know about good practices, how to approach scalability, how to work on big projects.

I don't know what to do really, I thought about reading open source projects (Python is the language I know the most), advanced Python programming books (fluent python, effective python) and scalability books (designing data intensive applications), but I don't know if by reading those materials I'd become a "senior programmer" without working with other people.

Another way maybe is to look for junior roles but I'm 33 now and with 10 years of experience it'll seem weird when interviewing.

What would you do if you were in my position?

By that logic no one should ever be allowed to do anything that exposes others to risk. Every time someone drives a car there's a percentage chance they'll run you over, leaving you crippled with no quality of life. It is unreasonable and unethical to expect others to protect you from all risk.
A lower f-stop number means that the aperture is bigger (relative to the focal length), such that it let's in more light. This has several subjective benefits: more light can be used for shorter exposure time or lower ISO (sensor gain) each leading to a sharper image. Also, it creates a shallower depth of field or "more blur" which separates the subject for a more pleasing picture. (This may be irrelevant on sensors as small as on a phone, which counteract shallow depth of field effects.)
It may reduce the image quality if the lens of of lower quality, as it is more expensive to build large-aperture lenses.
