Study: Employment rose among those in free money experiment
Personally, I'm split on the idea of UBI.

I think we can afford it and I think it would make the government _smaller_ - it's a complete rework and simplification of social welfare programs and hopefully taxes as well (if done right).

The thing I dislike is that I believe it is what we call a "nice weather" policy in German. It only works as long as the whole system is running, and it will make people forget that people have to work to create all the things we have.

But the biggest pro argument is that I frees people up. Instead of the poor man's struggle for survival, they can live the rich man's live without worries. And thus be in a much better situation to better themselves. Above study seems to indicate the people will indeed try to better themselves, instead of giving up all ambition.
Who wants to move to Europe to make 2k a month doing electrical or mechanical engineering? Since working for a US based competitor is not feasible from Europe in these fields, the pay tends to suck.
Very impressive. But it didn't have a metacircular evaluator! sectorlisp does.
As far as I understand it, you can decide which part of the dynamics you put into the spacetime, and which part into the fields. So a spin-2 field on a flat spacetime is equivalent to general relativity. (And you can't tell the difference because you can't detect individual gravitons, among other reasons.)

A smiliar cool idea that I encountered in a string theory course, is when you have tachyons. They seem pretty bad because you can gain energy by creating more tachyons, and your spacetime would decay. But what it really means is that you have chosen a "wrong" spacetime, and you can transform the tachyons away by choosing a different background. (Handwaving here since I'm just an experimentalist ;-))
UX is a trojan horse, now everything has to be mobile friendly for absolutely no bloody reason. You know what also works on mobile? Zooming, yes you heard me.

Just the other day I had someone, an old person, complain about how a "revamp" of an internet banking site. They rewrote their functional, working UI, with a site that was designed by "UX designers", and you know how he phrased his opinion of the new site? "They made the site for stupid people".

'Canada's leading ecologist': David Schindler dead at 80
I did not know this. This is interesting, because it gives Intel even less of an excuse for their insane power consumption and poor performance. In recent discussions, Ryzen's performance was commonly credited to the process, along the lines of "if you ported Intels core to 7nm it'd wreck everything else". It seems like more of a fair comparison now.
One answer can be found in the issue being addressed here, which is that the models were not, just from reading lots of text, performing well on questions involving scale.

Game over. NFTs are validated publicly. From here is nothing new.
Because the failure modes are different. Humans with basically 100% accuracy both correctly recognize depth and put it into the right bucket of near/far but are woefully bad at estimating the numeric distance. So you’re right that you don’t need to do better than extremely coarse estimates like close, a few car lengths, in the distance, etc..

If computer vision fails at all to recognize depth (semi truck with clouds painted on it isn’t recognized) or misclassifies whether something is near or far that’s much more dangerous.

That analogy would work. In that case voltage (volts) would be the tension on a rubber band, current (amps) would be the width of the rubber band, ad Power (watts) would be the product of tension times the diameter (or mass).
It seems clear to me that this article is aimed at science educators who do have a solid understanding of electromagnetism, electronics, etc., but struggle to teach high-school and college-aged students due to widespread misconceptions about “electricity” (some of which seem bizarre to an expert). The article explains what those misconceptions are because it is assuming the reader would quickly understand the scientific (or ontological) error and spend the bulk of their thought on the educational side.

This article is simply not aimed at you, it is directed towards experts. So your complaint is a bit like complaining that “C# In Depth” doesn’t sufficiently explain basic syntax.

Why? We don't usually hold victims accountable for crime, and hardly anyone understands computer crime anyway.

Right now, yes. There was a time where doppler filtering was too expensive in programmable COTS HW, or digital beamforming, or SVD... What's missing here is the gain vs optimisation effort. If there is an order of magnitude of gain here, we'll reduce the latency one way or the other. I see impossible-20-years-ago heavy-duty solvers in RT sensors more and more.

Also depending on your refresh rate 3s might still be worth it IF the filter gain is so much better.
And at that point, you're just watching videos and, while people learn in different ways, you may be just as well or better off picking up a book and taking advantage of resources like MIT OCW.

Yeah, there certainly is overlap in some of the core ideas, but the scene has really changed with the development of general-purpose microcontrollers like the ESP32 that can run for years on standard batteries and still pack a punch (it's a dual core 240MHz CPU). Also, the global connectivity options like NB-IoT and LTE-M allow devices to connect directly to the internet, which enables us to make them fully serviceable through a cloud-hosted API.

Really this doesn't has anything to do with the "forums". Depends on the relationships you've build on those forums.

Whoa. I just bought a new copy of Mulberry Street a couple of years ago. It was on some end cap display at Barnes and Noble. I have read it to my daughter a dozen times. I hadn’t actually looked at the list of Dr. Seuss books, and assumed they were obscure like people said, but Mulberry Street definitely isn’t obscure.
Basically I was running a business, and found someone on HN whose site exposed me to a substantially better model for the same asset I had. Revenues eventually 10x.

It’s not some crazy thing, pretty standard business idea for my sort of business, but was still a revelation. Basically you can get a ton of business model info on HN. The specific model wouldn’t help you here, but basically if you have a business hn can show you how to round it out. Roughly:

1. I did a bunch of deep work and produced an asset

2. HN showed me how to use that asset waaaaaay better

3. However HN is dangerous if you go too far into doing only aleatory information seeking and forget to continue doing deep work (I fall prey to this at times)

You’ll see some stories in this thread of people who were not programmers on HN and who received the message “hey you can be a programmer”. If you have this knowledge it is trivial, if you don’t it is life transforming. So whether HN has any life transforming potential for you depends on whether you have any such blind spots where simply being exposed to the right idea would let you make a large change onto a new path which is substantially better than the old path.

—————

For GME, this is roughly the process. Note I had background knowledge of reddit, wall street bets, memes and basic knowledge of call options.

1. This story was posted Jan 20th, about a week before the surge. Top comment lays out the short squeeze idea. But big signal is showing “hey wsb seems to be on to something, it made it through the hn bubble”: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25837208

2. My reaction was “oh interesting” (—> note to self “stop and pay attention to this reaction. Had it for the early pandemic stories too)

3. But what you could have done was checked the price of short dated call options. I could be mistaken here, as jan 20th might have been too late and the possible returns too small. But bought early enough, far out of the money call options could have a 50-100x return. The stock itself rose 10x so I’d be surprised if call options returned less than that.

(If anyone knows what gme call option prices were like on jan 20th I’d be very interested to know_

Don’t put in your life savings. But my claim is that if you faced fifty such decisions on HN and put $1000 in each time your ROI would be very positive.

The pandemic is maybe a clearer example. Due to HN and adjacent tech sources I’d say I knew pretty much what was going to happen by Feb 20th. In hindsight this was way too slow, but it was still a good 3+ weeks ahead of most of north America.

I feel HN reliably has me a bit ahead of the curve.

Disclaimer, to all reading: please don’t start gambling on HN. These are just examples to illustrate my general claim that HN has a high concentration of early info compared to other sources and has high signal.
With those two as the examples, I'd definitely agree with that. I'd regard both as frontend frameworks and I've never heard Next described as a SSG, though, but Gatsby seems to be used as such by fans of reckless overengineering (because I definitely need GraphQL for my blog).

Eleventy would be quite a bit closer to Hugo/Zola, but even then you'd have to use npm/npx to install and run it.
I thought your summary was good and yet it points to something that troubles me.

I can understand how a society can change so that things that were formerly rare and remarkable become common and unremarkable.

I can also understand not wanting to make people feel "other".

Yet there will indeed always be things that differ interestingly from the usual practices of the day. It seems strange (heh) for everyone to suppress the (very universal, you will learn if you travel) human impulse to find difference interesting, exotic, and delightful. Eventually you will find yourself on both sides of this dynamic.

I don't necessarily have a problem with making updated versions of Dr. Seuss books that try to avoid accidentally alienating parts of a now-broader audience.

But the larger principle, of refusing to see "foreignness" as "weird", I'm not sure how to deal with. It seems the safest approach is to always suppress surprise. You cannot exoticize if you refuse to acknowledge anything as exotic. But I don't think surprise ("gaijin-das!") is always malicious, and something feels wrong, "anti-human" even, about always burying that reaction.

It also invites a certain kind of social attack, which is like a higher-stakes "you laugh, you lose".

It's as though certain parts of ourselves have been let out of the closet, but other, mostly harmless parts, have been shoved in.

I would like a way to be respectful but also human. I do not think norms are moving in that direction.
It's a simple difference of market size. The US has 300M people, the UK has 60M people.

The UK market is not big enough to bear big successful companies (by HN and VC standards). The first thing a UK company has to do is extend to the US to be able to grow.
NVMe vs. SSD VPS Hosting: What's the Difference?
1) I posted this project and I started some company. Sold it or earning a lot of money or living my dream: No

2) I was hired because of my post on HN: No

3) Girls chasing you because of your reputation as HN: No, and no guys either.

Not to be flippant, but you seem to have misunderstood the intent of HN (if this post was made in earnest that is). If these are the things you want to get out of HN then you should probably get out, for the sakes of both your own and HN in general. Alternatively try and learn to enjoy the benefits of knowledgeable discussion about all sorts of topics that may not fit inside your normal bubble.
That's true, but what connects Bandolier and Cappadocia are that they are carved out of a softer material which was created as a thick layer of volcanic ash. Visiting both, you notice similarities.

Kalman filters require that observed variables have Gaussian distributions.

Frequently this isn't the case. Lots of real world systems have more complex distributions, like for example "which lane of a highway am I in given this GPS position" (it's likely you are in one of the lanes, but possible although unlikely I am between lanes).

Particle filters use more computation than kalman filters, but they can deal with arbitrary (and unknown) distributions of variables. Considering very few applications of this kind of system are limited by compute power, a particle filter is almost always better suited. (especially when you have a GPU available, which is a perfect fit for particle filters).
Couldn’t you put these servers behind something like CloudFlare? Assuming they were knowledgeable of the attack and could block it.

>It was really a revolution when it started.

Many people thought it was anyway.

In practice, it ended up being mostly another source of lecture videos used by motivated professionals with generally solid fundamentals. For which, frankly, there were already a lot of resources out there.
I went through the book once 10 years ago. It is definitely recommended to anyone considering drawing seriously.

It is easy to lose focus when drawing. Hang in there. Look more closely. Focus on the details. Try to copy as much details as you can.

The quote "Good artist copy great artist steal" is true in the sense that the more we focus our attention on the details of the drawing the closer we get to copy/literally steal the feel of object we're drawing.

Precisely. Well put. There’s no way HN works as a quick fix or as a direct source of gains.
Depends what you already know. I have had good success producing pdfs with chrome and html, but if you want high-dpi images for print that may or may not work for you.
Just wondering, is there a source listing good practices when it comes to implementing how one should sanitize real-world, subjective fields like human names, gender, race etc.? And other gotchas while implementing similar things?
Agreed. This collection of articles appears to be a mix of ranting about misconceptions and giving factoids, randomly marking them as misconceptions or as what's really happening. If you were not confused before reading any of it (I was not), chances are, you will be afterwords (I was).

This is the exact opposite of good pedagogy. Ironic, since it's supposedly aimed at educators.
We are not here to do science though, and while completely unsubstantiated ideas are frowned upon, it's okay to do some mind exercise and share theories with others. It's fun to read, fun to write, and well above the populist karma-stunts.

I don't understand why you call it "trickery or "fake". Church encoding of natural numbers is the same technique used in Agda, Coq and Idris to represent the Peano numbers. It's a completely valid encoding and isomorphic to any other representation.

You don't need to use a fixed-length array either - you can used a recursive linked list at the type-level for an unbounded encoding [1]. The Scala library is an example of that; the Github page even has an example of encoding arbitrary units like sheep and wheat.

Plus a good handful of comments that don't acknowledge the countervailing evidence in the Wikipedia article much less evidencing any familiarity with the broader literature. Not gonna quibble about whether "belittling" is the right word, but there's certainly some casual hubris in some of these threads.

Bigger picture: it isn't about enjoying amateur commentary or not. There's arguably been a rise, with the democratization of information access, of poorly-grounded self-confidence about understanding every topic one encounters. This attitude, for example, rejects mask-wearing on the grounds that the virus is too small to be caught by the mask (ignoring that the virus is carried in larger droplets/particles). An intelligent person armed with a factoid sometimes needs a reminder like the comment you replied to.

Same story, now I recommend Freecodecamp & Khan Academy. Some of Stanford free courses are very good too.
Initial thoughts:

- Seems to be using gradual typing - type annotations are optional but, if used, are enforced (at run-time if necessary). The traditional problem with this approach has been poor performance - is that an issue here? Can you use `List<Int>` as a type annotation (which would presumably be O(n) to check at runtime) or only `List`?

- Appears to use a Python-like object model (e.g. fields are public by default). I can’t find detailed information about access control, inheritance etc.

- Significant indentation plus Ruby-style blocks. Would be interesting to see how well those work together in practice.
