You're not buying Cree, thats why. Pretty much every brand except Cree cuts corners in the DC inverter stage... they tend to overheat badly and fry. Often, you can apply DC directly to the LEDs, and they still light.

Also, you need to read the package, even with Cree: many state "not suitable for fully enclosed fixtures". They make ones expressly for this, and are required to prevent the lamp from cooking itself.

On top of that, many of those scammy brands say things like "x year warranty", when they really mean "1,000 hours per year" warranty. Cree warranties their bulb for tens of thousands of hours... I have a much older 100 watt equivalent that has been burning 24/7 for over 5 years (somewhere around 50k hours), still ain't dead yet.

Now that the government is (theoretically) back on track, I'd love to see the FTC go after LED lamp manufacturers that straight up lie about their lifetime estimates; I don't care if their prices go up, all they'd do is start matching Cree in price.

Fun fact: Cree isn't just the world's best LED (as in, the actual diodes) manufacturer, they're also one of the world's leading GaN power module manufacturers, and all of their own in-house knowhow is used in their own consumer bulbs.
Yep.

enabling or disabling disk cache doesn't prevent the write hole when experiencing sudden power loss. in transit writes are still lost and have to be atomically accounted for. disk caches only increase the amount of data that is or isn't synced with disk.
First of all, CRI can be measured and you can buy lamps with high CRI. Secondly, sorry but even if an incandescent or halogen has high CRI, it makes everything look yellow and consumes a lot of energy.

It is much easier to make high CRI LED fixtures than to make incandescent lamps more energy-efficient.
I believe this is very understated, and collectively we tend to throw up our hands at the issue as though nothing could be improved. Even children growing up without a father figure or having divorced parents can have some developmental issues, I can't imagine how being separated from family must be.
Benchmarking the NanoPi R4S
How do you even define "debunked" here? It's a subjective conclusion as to whether the immense energy costs are justified by the net value added to society.

Personally, I'd tend towards air travel being a net positive, while Bitcoin is well into the negative.

Hello HN, I'm one of the three devs behind PapersLikeThisOne, a NLP tool designed to help you find relevant articles quickly and easily.

In our experience, building a good bibliography is crucial to any research project. Yet, we feel that browsing through the scientific literature can sometimes be tedious and slow.

We hope our tool will help you solve this problem. Here are some technical details for the curious:

- The tool extracts a sentence embedding generated by a BERT-like model from the source publication’s title and abstract,

- It computes the distance between this embedding and those of other papers in our database,

- It selects the top 10 most similar papers, title and abstract-wise, and displays them in a graph view.

Please do not hesitate to use the tool and share it around you! Any feedback you may have is also very welcome, and I’m more than happy to answer your questions here :)
Btw, we are interested in other Deep Learning work, so feel free to message me to discuss any project you might have (email in bio).
The transport between where and where?
I literally posted just a few comments up a story about people on the left complaining they were banned on Facebook from discussing racism. But anecdotes are relatively useless, another commenter posted an actual study showing there is no anti-conservative bias.

But even the conspiratorial mindset that "Oh look, this accident must be deliberate!!" is really annoying because it completely ignores the consequences of the mistake. Ron Paul (or anyone) not being able to post for a few hours is some big abuse of power, when none of his existing posts were unreadable? I've had power outages in urban settings that lasted longer.

Response time / availability is not something I considered in medical service pricing before but wow it makes a lot of sense.
I'm not saying that I agree with the idea that that ad is offensive. But the issue isn't that the person is skinny.

The issue that it's a very skinny model is pictured alongside the words "Are you beach body read?" This implies that the only people who have 'beach bodies' are those as skinny as that model.

The idea isn't 'OMG, skinny people are offensive'
The idea is 'The implication of this ad is that only people who look like that very skinny model are beach body ready. Meaning, only incredibly skinny people are welcome at the beach.'
That's a great analogy because it highlights an important point: we're living in the real world, not in a movie. In the real world, it's sometimes fairly obvious when someone should be forcibly shut up.

In the olden days, it meant leaving an establishment when some village idiot was rambling in there. Eventually, the owner of the establishment would stop letting the idiot in. That's what's happening in Twitter, nothing more. The scale is a lot larger, sure, but still.
Nitpick which does not change your general point: I would not call French average 60% tax on fuel a "subsidy".

One can argue that by tweaking the tax level per type of fuel, it shapes the market in one direction or another, but that is not a subsidy as in "it is supporting the people by making things cheaper".
Because it is user hostile. Even if it is helpful for them, if it hurts their users, they probably should be doing something else.

I remember reading the first announcement of Bitcoin on Slashdot over a decade ago, and every time I begin to feel regret over not having downloaded it then, I realise that I would almost certainly have lost anything I had from one of a thousand ways its possible to lose your coins - MtGox being a major one in the early days!
> I disagree heavily because closed issues are less visible.

It takes one single extra click to include closed issues in a search. As a user/contributor, I’d figure that’s a rather small price to pay, given that it helps maintainers handle their workload.
It seems like any non-trivial feature will increase vendor lock-in. Dark mode is the only recent GitHub feature that can’t be said to increase lock-in.
Glad to hear that you are at least open for the possibility.

Regarding PoS: Ethereum is not gold. Ethereum is oil. Yes, it has value, but only when it is used to get you something else.

Regarding "commerce" with crypto, I mostly agree, but the reality is that for payments to become a common use case we still need to build A LOT of critical pieces - chiefly: have a reliable/cheap system to get stable currencies [0][1], lower the transaction costs[2], make it easy for people to request[3] and accept payments online [4] and build some permissionless system to settle payment disputes [5] as well as to get insurance and the ability to do chargebacks. These things will take time to get right, but this should not mean that they should be facing eternal and constant unfounded criticism or accusations of fraud/malice. There are lots of people working on crypto who don't care about the price fluctuations and are not doing it just for the quick buck - they should be supported, not discouraged.

> Divorce rates are on their way down in the West. The transition period is definitely rough, but eventually the cultural norms adapt.

Divorce rates are down, but so are marriage and birth rates. The "cultural norms" are "adapting," but don't appear to be adapting in a direction that combines modernity with population stability in a steady state.

Much of "the west" is now dependent on people from more traditional cultures (in Europe, Muslims, in the United States, Latinos). That's not an anti-immigration rant (I'm a Bangladeshi immigrant to the United States). My point is that anything we call a "successful culture" should probably be self-sustaining in the steady state. If divorce rates in the west are declining mainly because nobody is getting married (and nobody is having kids) then you don't actually have a successful culture. It might be great for all the freedoms it provides, but on its own it will cease to exist eventually.

In a way it's a sort of arbitrage. If everyone in the world acted like Germans, it would be nice for a while, but humanity would cease to exist. There is an illusion of sustainability that is being provided by people from traditional cultures--with their traditional views on marriage and child-rearing, etc.
>Foster kids can be helped, but you really need multiple strong families or support groups dedicated to the task. For a couple of decades, at least.

It's sad but I don't think that this is sustainable.
Interviewing and Pattern Matching
Not OP, but I suppose the implication is that you would continue to do some sort of work, even if just random jobs to supplement your income. It would probably be hard to go a decade without earning a single penny (of course I'm assuming this is all happening well before traditional retirement age).
Looks like these are CRI 80 bulbs (on the big Clive video), which means they're bad enough at reproducing colors that many people will end up noticing it without even knowing what they're looking for.

He says 80 is "ok" but I'm not aware of consumer lamp manufacturers that will dare go lower.

I'm glad these exist, but personally I wouldn't want them in my house. Maybe would be good for lighting prison cells or something.

Ask HN: Is it possible to create USB terminal keyboard/display?
Hi HN,

When my headless home server inevitably goes unresponsive after a power outage or something (I know I should get a better power supply), I have to fetch my big display monitor and keyboard to diagnose and get it back online.

Does there exist a device, or is it fairly doable to make one, which would be like a RPi-400 + display which could connect via USB to view and operate the terminal? I guess secondarily, a small or handheld terminal display is really the most important piece, since plugging in a usb keyboard is fairly trivial (could android phone be used for this?).

This seemed like a project that one of you smart people would have tried out, and I just thought I'd ask.

Or if there's a much easier solution than what I've been doing, I'd love to hear.

Thanks
All of those "social technologies" except one have nothing to do with atheism. And the Church does not exactly have a squeaky clean track record when it comes to orphans.

Add to the fact, often the most impoverished countries tend to be more religious. You're not finding a strong correlation to your point.

The best analogy I can think of to make the point of how important the 'single language syntax' goal should be is "mathematics".

Imagine if everyone "doing" math did it their own way, using their own sets of symbols, and syntax. Even Einstein got his Special Theory of Relativity transform directly from Lorentz. Most innovations are built on top of other innovations, and the ability to share depends on common language.
To elaborate: what people think of as a "Bitcoin" (or a fraction of a Bitcoin) is under the covers the unspent output of a transaction (this includes mined coins, which are a transaction without an input). Without transactions, there's no Bitcoin.
Thanks again for sharing. I find your story very relatable, from the gaps in memory (which is common after trauma) to rebelling and failing in the school system.

a defense of temporary insanity seems reasonable to me. Otherwise they're going to have to establish another motive. And I bet any other motive will still have a reasonable doubt.
sshuttle is definitely no efficiency daemon - however, it only requires being able to ssh to the other side, amd run Python there, and that’s it - whereas for Wireguard you need root on the other side, a sufficiently new kernel (or building an out of kernel module) - it’s way better if you can use it but IME it isn’t “almost as easy” - sshuttle usually just works if you can ssh.
"I did youth work with a family who fostered then adopted 4 half brothers from the same mother. She was a heroin addict. Every other year she'd have a baby, malnourished, underweight, in withdrawal, neglected taken away."

That's truly tragic. You've been a blessing to those children, and that's beautiful.

Given the harshness of this reality, I understand why past generations looked to forced sterilization. There's really no winning with that, but after 4 kids (to date) with that fate, it's a legitimate moral debate (not an easy one, nor should it be) as to the relative good. I guess it's a sibling to the abortion debate.

I'm not the poster you're replying to, but the underlying PoW issues are, IMO, disconnected from the wild price behavior and investors using it to speculate.

Coupled with difficulty in scaling transactions, and the sketchiness of Tether (and the affect of a potential collapse of Tether on Bitcoin), Bitcoin definitely is a potential bubble.

I've read about people getting cataract surgery and ending up with UV sensitivity due to the material some older synthetic implants were made from, so I always assumed artificial corneas weren't uncommon.[1] I've actually kind of hoped I could get them some day.

Is the difference here that previous implants weren't total replacements, or something else?

A source for a site that is supposed to be for content too extreme for Twitter has content too extreme for Twitter? Yes, sure, Wikipedia. Every news article posted about Parler from the beginning. The CEO. The court filing after Amazon warned them to implement some moderation policies and they didn’t[0].

Parler was also notorious for banning non-hardcore right-wing opinions, much like how r/conservative is somehow both a “free speech zone” but you aren’t allowed to post dissenting opinions.

Personally, I believe ISIS have a right to believe we all need to live under Sharia law. These wackjobs have a right to believe we all need to live in a fascist state where we can hang gays, Jews, liberals, and dissenters. But I have a right to believe views like that are abhorrent and dangerous and that Amazon and every other host is well within their rights to say, “we prefer social stability, thanks” and I would feel exactly the same about some violent left wing movement (if one existed that wasn’t some boogeyman created by OANN or NewsMax). Twitter removes violent left wing content just as much as it removes violent right wing content. The left just doesn’t bitch about nearly as much, or as loudly. And yes, I’m sure you can cherry-pick a few examples where lefties posted vile shit and it didn’t get removed, then I would cherry-pick some vile shit a right winger posted that didn’t get removed, and we would continue in this fashion indefinitely. It’s hard to moderate content when you have millions of users and millions of bots. No system is going to make everyone happy, but I think calling for the violent death of our democratically elected representatives is over the line, no matter who is making the call, and content like that should be removed. I feel like that’s a pretty sensible line to draw.

You can hold off the update of a snap package for up to two months by enabling the appropriate key at https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date

I suppose the rational is that updates should happen. You can take your time to hold updates for up to sixty days but they should happen anyway.

The certbot snap package is published by the EFF/LetsEncrypt themselves.

You could also trick snapd that you are on a metered Internet connection, therefore avoid updates.

It is a sliding scale. American prizes are 3 times more than private clinic in Helsinki, and again those are 3 times higher than in Lithuania.

For example ultrasonic diagnosis of your frozen shoulder is 600 Euros in USA, 200 Euros in Finland and 80 Euros in Vilnius.

I'm also wondering about that. Abbott isn't known for making the raw CGM data easily available. Neither is Oura.

It might be possible via Google fit/ Apple health or via nightscout for the CGM devices, but the latter would imply some legal trouble. Maybe OP can clarify some details of how the integration works in this product.
From this data, I could do that by going to another state.
Sure, but now you're diving through an incredibly thick soup: Some of those issues might have been resolved/fixed, as closed issues should be. Others might be current issues obscured because the maintainer hates their users and closes issues that are not resolved. Instead of having a clear marker on whether or not an issue is still a problem or not, you have to read the full text of every one.

It literally makes "issues" worthless as a tool for anyone but the one dude who has it in their head to do things focused solely on themselves and their needs and ignorant to everyone else.

And frankly: Issues is a terrible way to manage your own workload, so doing it harms you and everyone else at the same time. Use a project board or something, there are tools designed for this. Even on GitHub itself, labels and milestones and projects all can be employed to enable reasonable project management... closing user issues without resolving them is definitely not one of them. Seriously, don't do this.

Yes, that's it exactly. "Mindfulness" or "meditation" or whatever you want to call it is nothing more than a set of practices that gives your conscious mind awareness of and access to processes in your brain that it doesn't by default have access to. There's nothing mysterious or woowoo about it, other than the fact that your brain is not a computer so the activity by which this access is gained looks a little weirder (to a tech person) than hooking up a connector to a BDM interface. But it amounts to (more or less) the same thing.
With sudden power loss, the difference is that any single write may be in the cache for longer than the time it would have taken to write it. In the case of no cache with a power loss there is only a single possible failure: power loss during write. With cache that expands to two possible failures: Power loss during write from cache, and power loss with unwritten data in the cache.
