Just so everyone is aware of the scales involved in modern circuits, an entire CPU Core like in Snapdragon 865 might only take up an area of ~3mm2, measuring just ~1.75mm across. 3mm gets you across the CPU and back again. We think in nanometers and picoseconds down here. (Not withstanding signals travel much slower than the speed of light in our tiny copper wires, remember t=RC)

Yeah why do they keep spending billions to build new datacenters when they could just stop being absurd instead?

> That's not much of an argument. A preference for long legs vs. large breasts is just that: a preference.

The point is that you didn't consciously choose it. It just "happened".

I don't like cooked bell peppers. I didn't make a conscious choice to dislike cooked bell peppers, and I got forced to eat them as a kid. It's still a "preference" even though I never "chose" it.

Saying that someone "chose" something simply because it isn't written in their DNA is completely off the mark.

> The form of the argument cedes to the hostile interlocutor that an excuse is required for why we are like we are. I've never understood why anyone thinks that is a good idea.

The hostile interlocutor may be someone willing to vote against your rights. You don't necessarily have a choice but to engage them and having a decent argument that hits their own experience can sometimes provoke a change of thought.
> They almost all target the spike, including J&J and non-mrna vaccines.

You are correct. That being said, the targeting of the spike protein for the adenovirus vaccines is different to mRNA vaccines[0]

I have done some more reading & have seen the recent news of AZ & J&J having less effectiveness against the South African variant. With one positive for J&J being that their trial ran later than the other current crop of vaccines & part of the trial was done in South Africa - so more data is available[1].

Additionally, mRNA vaccines have been associated with instances of anaphylaxis[1], which has yet to be observed with the adenovirus vaccines (which could be due to mechanism, or that they have been used on less of the global populous to date). Furthermore, there is a strange "benign" rash appearing on peoples arms after being administered the mRNA vaccine - we are being told it's harmless, but also that nobody knows what it is precisely. You can look up "COVID arm" for details.

The language from scratch, yeah. I have experience with UE4, so I'm going to be using that. Too early for screenshots, I'm still in the planning phase.

Basically I'm spending my time on a whiteboard thinking up simple programs (fibonacci sequence, graph traversal, etc), then drawing them out how I imagine they could be represented in a 3d environment. From that, I am distilling ideas of how to represent data types and algorithms in a way that doesn't look like spaghetti.

Of course, I have a fairly advanced understanding of options and knew it was mathematically impossible to have lost that amount, so to me it was just a humorous and quirky bug in some startup software.

What I think needs to be noted is that the only way this young man would have gotten access to the level of options required to place a trade like that was to deliberately lie on his account application. Someone who was qualified to have the level of trading access he had would have
immediately known he wasnt $780k in the hole. So while Robinhood wrote some bad code, there is some personal responsibility that should be assigned here. Such a sad situation.

Seeing reports now that it was indeed Teamviewer!

They also have a satellite office over in Clearwater, Florida (which is trying to be like a little bay area copy, v2/3)

Interesting, but, Teamviewer also has been exploited and leaked creds, but took three years to confirm it: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/teamviewer-co...

Or, if the client computer browsed a site, it'd actually start open an SMB share on the perps computer: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/teamviewer-fi...

A human can learn from a single training sample. I can show my 2 year old a cartoon picture of an unfamiliar animal- say, an anteater- and then show him a page of drawings by a different artist in a different style, of several animals, in various poses, and he can immediately point to the anteater. Think about that: a single example, crudely drawn. You and I could do that too. Human beings are masters of learning from training sets of n=1.

I’m not sure why humans are so good at that. I feel like it might be that by spending the first couple years of life picking things up and rotating them and putting them in our mouths, we have some deeper understanding that images of an animal like an anteater are not really two dimensional but are supposed to represent volume and form. That’s my guess. A neural net trained to recognize 2d images will not have that.
I have, and this is is still fascinating. Got any more links you'd suggest?
They also have looser latency SLAs. The only hard requirement is that a user can read back their own writes, but it’s okay if other users are served stale data for a few seconds or minutes even. This makes cache invalidation, one of the most notoriously difficult and expensive operations at large scale, much much easier.
There's not much special about github actions. All the data needed to repo the actions without github is there. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already made a "run your github actions outside github" system somewhere.

If qualifying as a technical civilization can be defined as being able to launch a self-replicating interstellar probe (a/k/a a Bracewell-von Neumann probe), we can be confident that our galaxy has not yet had one. Once those probes are out there, they'll saturate the galaxy permanently; and once a technical civilization can launch one, it'll happen eventually. A modern billionaire could probably fund such a project now.

Ask HN: Anyone working on systems to help preserve our attention?
It seems like everything these days is trying to steal our attention and increase "engagement" (i.e. addictiveness).

Even in the workplace, there's a constant stream of information and distractions. Where I used to work there was 4 different systems I used on a daily basis, each with its own notifications.

I'm wondering if anyone (companies, researchers, organizations, individual people, etc...) is working to combat this assault on attention. At the extreme I imagine "algorithms to fight back the algorithms", or "synthetic attention" that filters out and aggregates information for you. Surely, lots of simpler and more pragmatic solutions also exist.

Plenty of people at my job did amazing work despite all the distractions. Maybe we could study what these people do and make it easy to do it by default, by integrating it with the company tools. I'm guessing aggregating and holding back notifications and gui updates that aren't related to the task at hand. Or something like an integrated pomodoro timer that would block notifications and instant messages during sprints.

Or, imagine a service like Youtube, but instead of maximizing watch-time, it would maximize some definition of satisfaction. Perhaps it would let you enter your goals, like: not watching more than x hours per day or week, unwinding on workday evening, learning or staying up to date on certain topics, encouraging curiosity or creativity, etc... And it would recommend videos that make you feel satisfied after the allotted time, instead of making you mindlessly watching for hours.

Or something to help me look over and sort all the articles and videos accumulating in my open tabs...

(Just now I heard the sound of a new email and I'm tempted to tab over and look at it...)

I feel like helping preserve our attention can have a huge positive impact in today's world. I'd like to know if anyone is working on this problem, and I would myself like to work on this problem.

This is weird because none of these actually say not to buy Bitcoin, and many of them are reasonable positions to hold about Bitcoin: the level of risk is extreme. The volatility of Bitcoin is reason enough not to treat it as an investment. It's pretty clear by now that buying it is more akin to gambling. The same is true of day trading stocks as a layperson, incidentally.

If, on the other hand, you put your money into index funds instead, you would have stable, solid returns over a long period of time. But where's the fun in that?
There is no reason it needs to blink quickly.
The latest and greatest survey at that range is probably GAIA, which has a very important data release coming soon I think. (Unless it came out and I missed it)

I have no sense of how much of the Galaxy it maps, but I know it's crucial for distance ladder measures because it will constrain the distance to the large Magellanic cloud better than ever before, so I think it's measuring individual stars at that range

Not necessarily. I'd happily do it for a reasonable hourly rate + transportation. It would end up costing not more than a few thousand dollars, which is very reasonable given our legal system.

Hell, if it seemed outrageous enough I'd probably do it for transportation costs alone.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this outlook.

Kind of funny to read this on the same day Tesla has invested in Bitcoin, which wastes an enormous amount of energy.
The benefit of hindsight doesn't invalidate a decision you made in the past. You can look at past decisions and decide they were bad if you have reasonable evidence to suggest you could have been better informed, which is not the case with bitcoin.

Similarly you can't expect the past to keep happening. You are no better today than that guy who bought 3 pizzas with 1 bitcoin. You can only rely on the information you have today to make an informed guess.

That being said, bitcoin shows signs of wider fund adoption, with more integrations being developed. It is just a lower risk, lower reward now.

The idea of marginal value/marginal cost is that companies will generally continue spending one billion dollars to add size and complexity, as long as they get back a bit more than a billion dollars in revenue.

I'm mostly on your side. I agree that choice or not, it should not matter.

But, if I wanted to try to push back, ... your nachos require cheese. Cheese requires cows. Raising of cows are a major source of greenhouse gas etc... Therefore you should not be allowed to eat nachos as it's bad for society at large and you should be forced to stop eating them. (substitute beef or whale meat or whatever it takes to see the point).
Sad case but a completely inappropriate lawsuit. As society we allow people to chose to take risks they are comfortable with (otherwise everyone would be locked up in their homes wrapped in bubblewrap.)

I am not a RH user but I expect that to get started you have to transfer in money. To do anything with leverage (options, etc.) you certainly have to opt-in to additional agreements including indicating that you understand the risks, etc. Ultimately the steps of "wiring money in" or accepting "I understand I can lose more than I invested" should trigger something in your brain. And if it doesn't unfortunately you have to pay the price rather than somehow making the whole activity illegal.

Obviously this is a terrible situation for the family, but it's also a reminder that parents need to teach their kids common sense. For example: there's no free lunch. If your kid at 20 has the brain that says "oh duh there's free money here" you kinda messed up.
