It's more with the severity of it.

When it comes to tasks that you don't "want to do", it could be really ANY other task than what you want to do.

Imagine that you have some homework that's due, a work deadline that's absolutely imperative that you can meet, bills that have to be paid, or important call with your doctor - for the discussion, think of any task that's really important that you do.

Now imagine that your brain fees like...looking up some trivial thing on wikipedia, or similar. Just silly stuff that has no real importance - and is orders of magnitudes less important than what you need to focus on.

Now imagine that your brain and body is fighting all it can, for you to continue with the trivial task, and blocking the important stuff. You almost go into a trance.

You might be able to detach from some trivial task for a minute or two, only to get sucked back in.

Because it's such an invisible condition, it's hard to really know how bad it is. In the same way that people that have never suffered from migraines, might believe that migraines must be regular headaches, and that people that suffer from migraines might just be on the softer side.
Obviously the planning was bad. This is about what you do when you’ve made bad plans. We’ve all made bad plans and we generally stick with them longer than we really should. I know I have.

Ask HN: Why aren't we talking more about matrix?
Dear developer friends from afar, please hear my innocent pondering:

I wonder whether, upon the advent of quantum computing, hackers gaining access to Signal's databases will easily decrypt our private messages?

Or is it guaranteed that Signal's encryption algorithm will have evolved at a sufficient pace to remain effective?

Is it not in our best interest to more seriously consider decentralised platforms such as matrix?

But is the very same risk of hacking and decryption not also a weakness of matrix? Is the lack of security policing over its multiple independent nodes inevitable?

-

I hope you'll indulge me with your thoughts, because I've had little luck figuring out which solution is wisest - and I want to do what is best for our children's children.

To be honest, there's a part of me that just wants to ditch digital messaging altogether, and get back to the basics - old school fundamentals - as in, we're using the phone only to make plans to meet with people face to face so that we can chat in private, and we type out old-fashioned printed letters, whose hard-copy output is encrypted with our unique public keys - one for each different pen pal.

That would be pretty romantic, but things would take forever.

But could we emulate something similar if we each set up our own matrix servers at home?

As in, if we were to all run our own private messaging servers, and exchanged encrypted messages with each other using unique private and public key pairs, whose streamlined access allows us to easily maintain and continuously update these key pairs with all of our contacts - wouldn't that be the superior option?

I conclude that it's a trade-off between simplicity and independence. I am also ready to stand corrected on my interpretation of the nuances of this deeply impactful topic, and would value your thoughts and speculations of the future.
I also ran into some performance issues with model serving using FastAPI and ended up using Ray Serve to handle properly distributing the workload and batching requests. With a bit of work I was able to 10x the throughput and cut down response time in half.

Ray uses apache arrow plasma store to avoid the copy and serialization costs that usually come with multiprocessing in python.

Nike Run Club did this to me just last week. The no button leads to a feedback form, the yes button to the App Store.
Agreed, though without considering it as such if someone asked me to compare to an airliner I would have placed it between 10-100x the emissions, and would not have been surprised at more!
Part of my goal with this article was to take a fresh look at drives that had been through the old test suite, and be able to refer to the older results as a sanity check for the new results. (I found at least two bugs in FIO and one in Windows while working on this.) I have tested the SN850 on the new suite, but haven't written up a proper review yet: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2732 I should also be getting an equivalent to the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus soon.

Is there a technical reason why the subtitle delay on the iPad build is limited to +/- 5 seconds? I don't think there is such a limitation on other platforms. Sometimes the sub timings are off by a lot and this can make it impossible to get things to sync up.

The reason I ask is this is literally the only feature I've ever noticed as lacking, which is pretty amazing on what is otherwise a fantastic piece of software that I've used reliably for many, many years.

> we seem to have reverted directly back into a Nietzschian nihilism

Alternately, we seem to have fulfilled his prediction that this would come to pass in 100-200 years, and would erode the ideals held by the Western mindset.

TBC: Not intending this to be read as a fatalism, merely that his concern was less with nihilism itself, and more with its effect on future society and people.
The study says they believe they got better focus from it, not that they actually improved. The fact that they spent more time yet didn't get better results strongly hints at their focus actually got worse instead of better.

Also I'm not sure what your point is. Yes many people abuse stimulants in this manner and hurt their life due to it. However many people also greatly improve their life using stimulants. The existence of the first group doesn't mean much for how I need to use the medication, all I need to know is that the medication greatly improved all aspects of my life going from an almost certain failure to a top performer. If you don't see life changing improvements in grades or job performance then you probably don't have ADHD, at least not the same kind I have.

I just asked one of the friends what his problem was and he said that it was just the servers that were down, so I guess it wasn't too hard to set up for him after all.
Sounds like Apple wants to promote or enable development on its new platform (even of 3rd party kernels), but can’t just distribute source due to some ARM licensing agreements or other legal/contractual restrictions. This is probably a middle ground through legal.
It’s always been “possible “ but it’s always been a massive pain in the butt as there is a lot of inside track stuff, and the public source always has a habit of depending on itself.

It was a massive chore to get Darwin 0.1 to build for x86 but it’s possible. And there is 2 things only available as a binary blob, the intel PCMCIA code was never released nor the EISA/PCI adaption layer.

Our findings indicate that this misidentification is rooted in a self-understanding built on particular ‘origin stories’ ...blah blah blah... By positioning themselves as ascending from humble origins...

My dad grew up on a farm and dropped out of high school. My mother grew up in Germany during World War II and its aftermath.

My dad had shrapnel in his eye and was uninsurable because of it and was unemployed for months at a time. I grew up with a garden in the backyard and my mother cooking from scratch and sewing a lot of my clothes and all I heard was my parents stressing about money and telling me about their humble backgrounds.

My mother worked as a maid for a lot of years.

I was homeless for about a year in my late forties before I understood how upper class my mother's expectations were and that this was related to her mother having come from a noble family (that sold the title, so I don't have a title).

I was a child when I was being told constantly about their humble beginnings and how they were humble working class stiffs and so forth. As a child, I believed what I was told.

I think my parents believed it too. My mother resented working as the maid. All I heard for years was her bitterly and loudly complaining about how when she married my dad, she had a maid and now "I am the maid."

When she married my dad he was an American soldier stationed in Germany and the exchange rate was 4 Marks to the dollar. All American soldiers had maids in Germany at that time because of the exchange rate, not because American soldiers are college educated upper class types. My dad was a foot soldier, not a desk jockey.

Maybe sometimes people tell these humble origin stories because that's exactly how they understand their background.

I also spent years homeless as an adult and I'm still dirt poor and yadda. I live humbly now and I have repeatedly had people on Hacker News -- where lots of smart educated people hang -- tell me that social class is entirely about your current income.

So I don't know where in the hell I am supposed to have a nuanced discussion about "Well, yeah, money has always been tight. I've never had much money. But!...it's not as simple as I'm just some dirt poor lower class schmuck. My life is a lot more complicated than that."

Once in a while I seem able to effectively make a point like that in a blog post.* But casual conversation? Nah. Good luck with that.

I had the same thoughts. Is there any reason to keep it? Is there any scenario where that invalid index could be useful?
Yeah I also just ran into that issue a week ago. Had to look for awful hacks to try to get around it, ended up using Ray Serve to offload the processing to a background worker.
Ella: (extemporaneous justification of working-class idenitifaction)

Interviewer: Yeah..

Ella: (more extemporaneous justification that's becoming more and more contradiction than justification. "... my grandparents they owned a hotel ...")

Interviewer: Okay.

Ella: (even more, ending with the idea that she only went a "really small" private school)

That bit was pretty amusing to me, and illustrative of basically the whole thrust of the study.
> p/s if you're Aussie, Vyvanse is now on PBS so you no longer need to pay $100+ a month - rather it's now $6 to $40 depending on your cirumstances.

As a Aussie who is currently prescribed Dextroamphetamine, this makes me happy to hear.

I've been keen to switch to Vyvanse for a while now and my psych is open to the idea, but I haven't done it because of the cost and apparently there was a supply shortage for a while and I wouldn't have been able to get it at my pharmacy.

Now that I know it's on the PBS I'll have the conversation with my psych and hopefully be able to switch over too it.

Dex is too much like a rollercoaster for me, the idea of taking one extended release tablet in the morning I think would be a much smoother experience.
I disagree with this a lot. Building your own engine offers many advantages, especially for a company with ambitions like Amazon. If anyone should build their own engine, it's them.

Sure, they didn't release any (good) games, but I don't think the situation would be much different if they'd have used Unreal or Unity instead. Some of the complaints from devs were that Lumberyard was hard to work with, but that's a common thing to hear from new engines. Devs working on Metal Gear Solid V said the same thing about their custom Fox Engine, yet MGSV is a spectacular game that won a ton of GOTY awards.

I used LY for a game jam a few years back, and it was pretty painful to work with. They have some weird custom message passing system for components to communicate with each other safely, which seemed to me like the type of over-engineered, almost enterprise-like system a tech giant like Amazon would make. That sucked. It also has two physics engines: a "deprecated" one from CryEngine and Nvidia PhysX which wasn't actually fully supported yet.

Development was a pain in the ass, and while I did finish the game in time for the game jam, I couldn't get it to produce a shippable build of the game in time (each build took over an hour before failing with an unhelpful error)

However, if they iron out all of the bugs, and clean up/finish all of the incomplete stuff, and I get used to their message passing system, then LY is a really enticing value proposition. The engine is 100% free, with the only catch being that any backend stuff needs to be hosted on AWS or self-hosted. And while that could potentially be a deal-breaker for multiplayer games, it's a no-brainer for many others. Having an option like that in addition to Unity's up-front license payment and Unreal's 5% would be great for everyone, even if Amazon can't make a single decent game.

> The audience for tactical precise shooters, MOBAs, RTSs, etc would deteriorate

Maybe, but I tend to think that it wouldn’t diminish, and that this idea that very many will just “get over” latency is something VPs and PMs have convinced themselves of and not something that would bare out in the data.

The first time I gamed on a 120hz display was life changing in a way, I was never totally satisfied playing any sort of competitive multiplayer game at 60hz again, it’s like wearing hazy scratched glasses when the competition doesn’t. And all it took was playing on a friends PC with a 120hz display for half an hour. I think considering how great the push to >120Hz has been in PC gaming, and that High-hertz are now being adopted in smartphones and tablets I’m not alone in this experience.

My point being here that a large part of why people choose to play competitive, reaction driven games, is precisely because they are competitive and especially because they are very fast paced. So fast paced that 8ms of output latency makes a significant difference to a large segment.
I'm seeing this as an alternative to blockchain hype for cases where there isn't a double-spend problem (which is most of the non-public-access-currency use cases people are excited about) or where you can't assume that the network controls more computational power than any attacker (which is basically all of them). Just about any "permissioned blockchain" use case is better off using this.

Basically, they're pitching using the underlying proven tech from Certificate Transparency (and Go modules) for other similar use cases. To that end, this shouldn't be anything new, beyond documentation / marketing: they want to say this is stable technology.
So you'd pay ~$500? I suspect you'd be outbid.

The possible explanations section is quite interesting. Whatever you think of this particular study, the report does appear to raise more questions than were answered. Rather than take this study at face value the large amount of detailed information might best be used for directing continued study.

>I'm not a curator or collector,

I guess people who play chess or soccer are "curators" and "collectors" considering how old those "game" concepts are?

Some people may only see video games as a replacement for popcorn movies, a vapid session of watching characters talk about meaningless things and occasionally press a button or two as an illusion of interactivity with something.

But some of us get attached when there's something actually -good- out of it and time memorable beyond the technology used to build it. Thoughtful set of rules that allow a person to either challenge themselves or others. Some of us will always continue to play Starcraft, Counter Strike, Street Fighter or arcade shmups. They don't need a "revision" much like Chess doesn't need to be modified into a game that isn't Chess and soccer doesn't need to become handegg.

Stadia is to gaming what MTV is to music.

Depends on the person. When I was undiagnosed, I got away with it for years because under extreme deadline pressure for my projects I'd sometimes manage to pull it off really, really well. And, to my shame, I got pretty good at bullshitting my way through progress meetings.

The rest of the time, I was a right mess. Changed entire careers twice because I figured what I was doing just wasn't my thing. Turns out it was more fundamental than that, and I'm doing better now medicated.

Is it just me or are a lot of people going overboard with hand sanitizer?

I find it odd to see people applying hand sanitizer even though they've just left home and are visiting one place. Then you see people constantly applying hand sanitizer when entering shopping complexes and visiting various stores.

Personally, I try to limit my use of hand sanitizer because I have sensitive skin. Also I'm in Australia where we don't have major outbreaks right now.

No, the point I and I think the OP are making is not Valve as a developer, its Steam as the storefront. Steam has tremendous power in moving developers toward, say, the cloud; if Valve just made it a checkbox on the publisher's page (or something to that effect), any cloud streaming service that integrated with Steam would be tier 1 overnight.

But I'm also happy they haven't. These cloud streaming ecosystems are the apex of locked down closed systems. Valve is built on a culture of modding, revving games to make new ones, and being fair to users in a way that doesn't compromise being fair to developers. Cloud streaming systems, by and large, are not. They're built by big-tech megacorps that are looking to buy-in then cash-out on an industry they know nothing about (except Nvidia; if there were one cloud streaming service I'd support, its theirs. Nvidia isn't perfect, but its definitely within their wheelhouse, not a cash grab).

Beyond that, you're marginalizing Valve's dominance in the gaming industry. Of the top ten games by players on Steam right now, again, the most popular western gaming platform ever made, three are made by Valve (CS:GO #1, Dota2 #2, TF2 #4, and #3 is Rust, the monthly TwitchFad). Overall, the only non-Steam western PC games which compete with their numbers are Call of Duty, League of Legends, Valorant, Fornite, Minecraft. The one theme with most of these games is that they're pretty old. People love games they know; when the developer sticks around, builds out a fair monetization scheme, and iterates on the gameplay, the games become unbeatable pillars on whatever service they're distributed on (the few that aren't old: Fortnite/Valorant will get there, and CoD has this in a way, but is definitely the most different every year). Valve is a rock-solid game developer; the fact that they don't release new games every year just speaks to their commitment to their existing communities.

And, they also made Half Life Alyx last year. Its legitimately the most groundbreaking game to be released in the past decade, that unfortunately so few people are able to play. You physically cannot play that game and not have a shit-eating grin on your face the whole time. It is the only game I've ever played in VR (on Valve Index) that made me think "if this game were in both non-VR and VR, I would choose to play it in VR".
