We cut at a saw, then edge at an edge bander, after that we drill and mill on a CNC.
The saw has blades that need changing. The edge bander has cleaning cycles that have to be run. The CNCs have drills to be changed, milling tools that need sharpening, vacuum pumps that need filters cleaned, and sacrificial beds need surfacing.

Those are all the regular tasks but each machine has maintenance tasks that each have different periods. Such as the vacuum pumps need veins changed every six months.

Oh, and general plant machinery like forklifts and vehicles all need regular servicing.

We want a system that throws up alerts when maintenance doesn't happen. So we are not replying on people to remember or check maintenance books. People leave and the organisation forgets all the irregular tasks they did.

The plant needs its own nervous system to tell us it's not well. Else we run until failure and have unexpected downtime.

>I imagine we all agree that disinformation should be curbed

I don't agree with that. I think the problem is precisely those who think they get to decide what is and isn't disinformation and who gets to choose to curb it.
I think that's a fair point. Some of these judgment calls can go either way.

One important thing, though, is that the amount of information in a comment makes a huge difference. Information (that is, new information that people haven't already heard many times) acts as flame retardant. If the GP comment had contained that, I wouldn't have posted a moderation reply.

By contrast, when a comment brings up an inflammatory topic in a one-liner sort of way, it leaves a lot more scope for people to project their own interpretation onto the comment, and what drives such projections are often their own strong feelings about the divisive topic. You can see this in the flamewar direction the thread took here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26229255.

The main thing to consider in terms of comment quality is the expected value of its future subthread. Having more information in the root comment increases this. Low-information comments about inflammatory topics have low expected value. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

> that children of rich people go to elite schools, get degrees in Russian Literature, Art History, Political Science, play lacrosse, get jobs in white-shoe law firms, sit on boards, etc.

I’ve got news for you. Children of rich people who don’t go to Ivies do this, too.

The common thread isn’t “went to Ivy”, rather “children of rich people”. Their network is their value.
That genuinely sounds like hell - hoping you get a calm environment soon.
Then just end affirmative action. If that's the logic that's being used, these two things are pretty much mutually exclusive.
> Exactly, the current strain of Conservative "thought" is to attack all forms of authority in order to muddle the truth and introduce doubt that any subject is knowable or provable.

Which is kind of a weird whiplash, because it was not all that long ago that that was the standard attack of the Right against the “postmodern” Left.
That is a distinction without a difference. You are talking about the mechanics of censorship.
> no more than 30 percent of the American population inhabits the insular, propaganda-rich right-wing media ecosystem, indicate that whatever one thinks of the result of the 2016 election, it could not have been purely the result of right-wing propaganda.

30% of the total American population could be 46% of the voting population. But this is a straw man argument, it would only take 1 counter example to disprove a statement like that, and you could certainly find a person like that.

The comment about how Fox News has not spent years spewing misinformation simply because it is only talking about "Stop the Steal" nonsense is missing the forest for the trees. You can find examples of baseless hyperbolic fearmongering on Fox News every year (and indeed every month) going back to its inception. Migrant caravans about to overrun our borders. BLM protestors setting entire cities on fire. Secret pedophiles operating out of fast food restaurants.

I would argue that the people who succeed at that are pretty bright anyway, but are just applying their skill in an undesired way.
Why would you want to see every typo that was corrected? Every little test that was changed erroneously and then backed out again?

That may be an accurate representation of the order savepoints were made, but it's not an accurate representation of how the software evolved. It is noise that needs to be discarded if a reader would like to know what change was really made. It also makes if difficult or impossible to use tools like git bisect.

Is the argument really that a more detailed history is always better? In the trivial case every keypress could be a savepoint, and every savepoint a commit.

One does not always know in advance that a commit needs to be split in two. The only way to produce readable commits without rebasing them in that case is to work with local _backup files. A version control system does this much better.
Interesting user query about bug reporting
Today I asked a coworker if he had any feedback for me about using a program that an old coworker had written because I had some extra time and wanted to improve the application for him if I could. I said, "If you could send me a list of bugs I would be glad to fix them."

His response: "I would, but I don't know what they're called."

"You don't know what they're called? What do you mean?"

"The bugs! I don't know what types there are or anything."

I realized what he meant and replied, "No, you don't have to use like specific names for them. You just use plain English to describe the problems you experience as a user. If you can tell me how to make the bug happen again, it's easier for me to figure out how to fix it."

So I thought this would be an interesting topic to address.

Thoughts?
> "Run an individual service against mocks" doesn't count.

> "Run most services in a mostly-isolated development environment, calling out to a few hard-to-run external services" doesn't count.
No, what I'm saying is that dismissing a complaint of the company doing something wrong is missing the point. Deferring to a policy whose theoretical purpose is to defend against leaks and protect trade secrets as a justification for firing someone who was archiving their own e-mails is naive.
Pre-Covid the cost of just getting my “specific doses” of the compounds I needed was $850 with insurance. Regulations changed apparently and they couldn’t reuse the same combo of like pollen, cat/dog etc so each client needs a “custom” formulated dosage.

Add in the $10 doctor visit co-pay 2x / week when getting the shot, that’s $80/month already.

So $960 + 850 is $1910, so I’d save $710 using these drops instead of the shots.
He was extremely famous in Australia, and that documentary deliberately failed to mention that
That is a really good question. I’ve wondered about that too. It may have provided some protection, as it may increase avoidance of future dangerous situations. It could also partially be a side effect of other useful emotional expressions. Or perhaps human behavior grew in complexity (more ways to hurt each other) faster than evolution could improve our emotional processing capabilities. It’s hard to say.

Relatedly, maybe humans had better ways of coping with trauma in the past, through communal bonds, more strongly shared world views, rituals, and so on.
> Things in the past which were labeled misinformation

I know that item-level thinking like this is necessary to gain emotional traction with people, but this issue is just so obvious at a systems-level.

the idea that we, right now the instant youre reading this, have discovered 100% of what there is to learn and 0% of what we know is wrong is so painfully, horrifically, obviously stupid (we've had computers for thirty years now, we're probably good for ETERNITY, right?). we both WANT and NEED a mechanism for dissenters and disinformation. misinformation is combat with MORE discussion, not less!

scientific consensus is not arrived at when every scientific paper says the same thing. this is a fundamentally wrong view of science and also reality. on any given topic, the corpus includes opposing conclusions. eventually we figure out why and discern the underlying principles.

to say anything but this is to make the existential case that people are not to be trusted with their own free will.
Hmm. Has even more parallels. What was Railway Lands in Toronto was the 'Freihafen' / 'Free Port Zone' in that part of Hamburg, also with extensive railways/switching yards.

Ours should have been almost fully developed by now, at least that is how I remember the countless presentations since about the year 2000. Alas, the economy had a little hiccup, so it is only half complete at most, rather one third.
Saying that you will be downvoted guarantees it.

You are right but it is best not to mention the beast, in my opinion.
Oh, that's a good point! I didn't realize it wouldn't be discoverable, you're right.
Yes, some cities actually ban non-electric leaf blowers. It’s possible to make them powerful and quiet or powerful and loud. It’s just a matter of cost and will. It probably doesn’t cost much more but no one has cared to do it.
The only thing that really degrades is fans.

Running a GPU for ~3 years at 75-82c
Congrats on the launch looks like a solid and interesting product, Is there other hardware besides the head unit and RFID tags that I would need to make accommodations for? Most of the sites I visit barely have cellular reception.

Can the head unit be used without the RFID tags, for example in an environment where re-fitting a zerk can take place on the next maintenance window?
At those rates, the GPU will likely pay for itself before it fails.
Only if that club has an outsized impact on your world, a club you are completely excluded from.

For what it's worth, the things you call out don't seem to be the case in the Canadian public university that I attended, the University of Waterloo.

> why are all degrees four years?

UW offers three-year degrees. A four-year degree typically gets you an Honours Bachelor degree, whereas a three-year degree is a General Bachelor. On a resume it'd still be written as "B.A.", and the reviewer would have to know to inquire, or to infer from the absence of "B.A. (Hons)".

> Why does a classics degree cost the same as a CS degree?

Similarly, my software engineering degree now costs $17,100/year. An arts degree costs $7,700/year. (Data: https://uwaterloo.ca/future-students/financing/tuition)

It would be interesting to understand how they set the prices.
> "world will be better like this" is rarely valid defense.

Fair enough, it is never a good defense, but in this case it is not meant as a defense as much as a reason against changing laws from what it currently is. There was no action to be defended until Australia changed their laws to something which makes search engines non feasible and to me that is a good reason why the law should not have been made.
Thats interesting. I wonder if the US would pursue that if FB/G were more favorably viewed by the government.

> 1) I upgrade from 17->18->19->20->21 and hope nothing breaks!

I've done this since about version 11. And I usually only get around to upgrading every few versions so it's been like... 11->12->13->14, 14->15->16, 16->17->18->19.

I do each upgrade one by one. Upgrade, login, check system status and resolve any additional steps it suggests (e.g., adding indices/columns, etc) then jump right into the next upgrade.

I've never had one fail on me. Even doing 3-4 major versions at a time it's usually less than a half hour problem.

> There's no way to transfer USDT into USD. The few exchanges that say they offer withdraws actually don't if you go and try.

It's perfectly possible to exchange USDT for USD and withdraw USD to your bank account; it does not involve complicated steps nor outrageous fees. Kraken, for example, has a very liquid USDT/USD market, is a well respected exchange, and processes USD withdrawals that arrive within minutes to US bank accounts. I'am speaking as an industry insider and hedge fund manager that trades ~$1B/month on the crypto markets.
Three.js has an imperative/stateful API for constructing and updating objects, not dissimilar to the DOM. So if your state lives in a separate place, then just like the DOM, you'd have to imperatively patch the view state to keep it in sync. Adding a layer that does this syncing automatically makes a lot of sense to me.

Doing it through React seems a little bit odd... but I haven't looked closely enough to understand why/whether this coupling is actually necessary
"Gosh, that's only one step away from something worse" is true of literally everything anyone has ever done.
No.

My GPU hovers at around 55-60 C while mining with the fans at 77%.

Years ago, I was running an AMD R9 290. THAT ran HOT. Even with fans at 100%, it would hover around 95 C and constantly fight with thermal throttling.

EDIT: And as someone else said, at these mining rates, it will pay for itself in 3-4 months.
Yes totally. It gives you freedom to try things you don’t fully understand in your IDE or framework too then decide whether you want to revert everything afterwards.
You can always try and simplify too. Some days I can visualise anything I want, other times my mind seems too busy or not focussed. On those days I visualise being in an empty cloudy pool, or walking in a snowy field as there’s less for me to render. Works quite well.
Aus median wage AUD89,000, tax on that seems to be $20,472.00 - 23%, plus $1780 medicare

I think it's also a good proxy for quality as well. The average IQ of people in Ivies is over 130, compared to about 110 in regular colleges. I just think that a 140 IQ graduate from a regular college should self-select out of areas that specifically value prestige (such as an IB), since they're likely to be undervalued.
That would have worked, but it would have made the whole thing a lot bigger— even a featherweight base image would have added more than what pex was able to do. It complicates the usage side too, as then you need to be root to chroot/nspawn/docker/whatever your way into the container.

Definitely a complicating factor was that all of this was meant to be usable by non-nerds and in an environment with limited or possibly no internet access. It wouldn't have been acceptable to download your installer package at the hotel, and then get to site and invoke it only to discover that you were on the hook for a few GBs of transfer from docker.io.

I think they're talking about services that you or your firm develops, or maintains, or ships. In this case the IRS is none of those things.
But of course businesses do treat it as a vocational course if they gatekeeper based on that degree. The actual value on the job is different than in the interview room, a fact that perpetuates inequality. I’m a counterpoint in that I’ve no degree but have done well, but I can’t find myself recommending self learning because the barrier to initial entry to industry is so high.
WP's site helpfully tries to show "this person's other phone numbers". My guess is it's acquired via credit institutions when you use that number for 2FA with a bank (since honestly, what the hell, virtually no bank supports U2F/TOTP 2FA and demand phone numbers, ugh)

I don't know how they match it in the backend, often it's wrong (and results in innocent parties being attacked).

I usually recommend completely prepaid lines for this to prevent hijackers from using the good old social engineering trick to hijack their accounts via customer service by providing last 4 of various identifiers. But these still eventually show up after you add the number to enough 'traditional' accounts. One of my friends (female, streamer) has gotten police at her house at 3 am with guns drawn so many times it's ridiculous. At least in many parts of, if not the entire US, trying to swat someone is legitimately trying to do your hardest to murder them.

This honestly should be made illegal, there is no reason for these services to exist, or for public records to be made available at all other than rate limited, in person without the ability to take a copy. Exceptions can be made for elected officials.
Any three-primary system is going to cover a triangle of colors. RGB primaries cover a fairly large triangle. If you wanted a larger gamut, you might consider switching to four primaries. You can still encode colors using the RGB space and convert to e.g. RGBY in the display or whatever.
> Who decides what is 'disinformation' or 'misinformation'? You? The Democratic representatives? Jack Dorsey? No thanks.

You are restating what I said almost word for word — but still disagreeing. Somehow. Everyone probably agrees that disinformation must be curbed; not everyone agrees on what exactly disinformation is.

You seem to think I'm biased against Republicans. This is the case. You seem to be biased against Democrats. That is the point. We have biases, and as such cannot agree on what the objective truth really is. That's why determining whether something is true, misinformation, or disinformation is hard.
With the costs required to obtain an education as they are, we are well beyond valuing education simply for the sake of valuing education. If it requires years and years to pay off, then we absolutely must look at it like an investment.
I agree and have always found this interesting. But it is similar behavior in more transparent stablecoins. Only Gemini’s GUSD has seemed to completely burned to nothing at one point. But USDC and DAI have growth so similar to Tether during bear markets that I cant put the lack of burns squarely on Bitfinex.

Either there is a broader accounting issue with minting and burning methodologies or people/entities really do hold.

During bear markets large market participants are still buying, and a tiny portion of people are providing the price discovery, and this is mirrored in the increasing amounts of crypto that have not moved from addresses in a long time.

Many people hold the stablecoin itself, instead of going back to fiat. So there is growth of all market participants, even during bear markets when other cryptos are falling out of favor.

Thinking out loud, I've paid a lot of graphic designers and marketers in India this year in Tether. They arent familiar with crypto but just notice that their Unocoin app takes it. We’re not doing paypal, and all fiat transfers are domestic with none of fees, time, or scrutiny that an international fiat transfer would have.

The nature of all stablecoins is that if the supply does not match the demand then there are arbitrage opportunities to mint more, which can be initiated by the user. If Tether is worth $1.02 then you can mint a new tether by depositing on Bitfinex and selling that Tether for a 2% premium.

So if all the stablecoins have similar growth patterns, the things going for Tether are simply first mover advantage and greater clout in Asia.
> People already know the root cause, and it is overpolicing and discretionary enforcement of crimes like drug possession.

No, you've only pushed the root cause back a step by doing this. It's entirely possible to understand that the way we're doing policing is wrong without resorting to an artificial, borderline-creationist mindset on aggregate group behaviour. Religious thinking is not going to help anything here.

> So we already know the dataset is polluted.

The dataset reflects something approaching reality. If anything, it reflects a version of reality that is already attempting to artificially compensate for group differences in order to quell conflict.

If you want to change reality, if you want to see less crime, if you want to see truly fair policing, then admitting to reality is an important first step. You're basically arguing for "juking the stats" in order to find fairness, when in reality such actions won't stop people from getting robbed, murdered, or having lives that offer so few opportunities for advancement that they end up turning to hard drugs to cope. ML is not to solve this problem either way, but it can actively prevent the problem from being solved if it becomes yet another mechanism to paper over the actual situation and instead point the finger for responsibility away from where it belongs: with individuals and their choices.
