> Some distinguish awareness from consciousness; I don’t find this distinction helpful and so I use these two words interchangeably.

We treat everything as an object, even mental thoughts and experiences. When we think of awareness, we objectify that awareness using one of the sense experience. But consciousness transcends awareness and in consciousness exits awareness. Consciousness is not an object of experience and that is why it is difficult to understand.

I certainly hope you’re right, I want to see holographic displays replace lcd for one thing, even though I’m a bit skeptical.

3d tv flopped, it could have been a start of something, terrible as it was. Lightfield cameras didn’t take off either, maybe because of the price. Let’s hope this could be a beginning!
You are correct - you don't understand.
> color has almost nothing to do with that

The color makes much of the difference. (What really matters is the total intensity in the shorter-wavelength part of the spectrum, so sure, making the lamps much brighter and less diffused is also bad.)

Shorter wavelengths cause significantly more glare, because the peripheral part of the human retina is packed with rods and S cones. Intense light including shorter wavelengths also causes the eyes to become bright-adapted, making it harder to see in the dark.

The super-bright halogen headlamps emit much more blue light than previous incandescent headlamps, and are included alongside LED headlamps in my complaint here.

Bigger, much dimmer, more diffuse lamps would help, but they should also be less blue. (And people should stop mounting headlamps on their SUVs and pickup trucks at other drivers' eye level and aiming them straight ahead.)
Should be interesting to see how long it takes to figure out how it's being transmitted. What all those 40 people had in common...some lake, or medical procedure, etc, that they all had. Assuming it is a prion disease...

Awesome! Could you possibly implement a double-click to clipboard copy option?
I had a public mental health crisis and lost my job. Is my career over?
I have been trying to recover from a mental health crisis. This had been building for a while but it finally boiled over, at which point I did some very erratic and irrational things, in a very public way, at work. I was fired and since then, it's been very difficult to find another job.

I'm starting to sense that my reputation is irreversibly tarnished. While I seem to do well in interviews, I never get past the final interview with the CEO or top level exec. It's almost as if they have a blacklist of do-not-hires... Is this paranoia or ought I begin to look outside the startup scene for work?
Work/life balance may be considered cliche but it is important. I remember the most miserable year of my life was when it got out of control at a startup. I was working 7 days a week 10-12 hours a day along with everyone else. We chewed through good people. And then I walked away. Ever since then I've been a stickler for 40 hour max (or I get paid 2X it's in my contract) . I've lost plenty opportunities for it but I think I've gotten better jobs as a result as well.
Ask HN: What's your ideal tool for collecting ideas or brainstorming?
Does the current tool exist? Is it Trello? Why? I'm working on a startup that's trying to solve innovation management and we want to develop the best experience for capturing ideas possible. I would love to know what the HN community uses for ideas and not 'issues'. What I mean by that is you are probably putting things you are actioning on for sure in something like JIRA or Github right now (I'm a dev, so that's where my head is at). Thanks in advance for sharing!
The copyright owners are terrified by a new medium they don't understand for the most part so they extract their rents the way you know how.

I made a dumb mashup containing spoken words and a song, I'm not sure whether that is fair use or not, but it got copyright striked for infringing upon something like "test song #3" by some record label. I couldn't even find out what that was.
I always liked this set of marketing materials. But I also see where they conflict with my experience. "You may visit our datacenters any time you like for a personal tour and inspection to satis[f]y whatever due diligence requirements you may have" probably appeals to many customers, but for my dollar I would prefer a datacenter that nobody may enter.

How? A worm is a whole multicellular organism. A neuron's just a cell, one that's specialized into a single function.

All a single neuron does is pass a signal to the synaptic cleft in response to a chemical or electrical signal at the other end. It's a simple subunit of a larger system.

Saying a single neuron is more complex than a worm is like saying a cat6 ethernet cable is more complex than a blast furnace.
Can connect y'all directly with our source in the Philippines if you DM me on Twitter!

Better to go straight to the source in my opinion, rather than using something like Fiverr. Going direct is cheaper, allows you to interview around a bit more easily, and helps build a more direct, long-term connection with the VA as an employer instead of as a contractor.
There is a tendency to feel this way when anything in day to day experience (pet ownership, parenthood, career experience, etc.) overlaps with scientific study.

It's tempting to say "well, obviously" but it's a slippery slope. Beyond the obvious potential for confirmation bias, etc., when you do the science carefully, sometimes you find out what people "knew" was just wrong.

This happens often enough to make it worth the effort.
Educated people have low birth rates. China and Russia are not Liberal states and their birth rates are very low as well.

Covid-19 has caused millions of births to be avoided and birth rates have fallen out of bed. Demographers are constantly lowering their population projections and are still vastly overestimating the 2050 population.
Incidentally, my dog behaves and is far more synchronized off than on leash, so much so that I'm trying to train her to be leash free. She listens a lot better like that for some reason.

It's actually quite ridiculous, I actually thought YC is starting to feel like a pyramid scheme. I took a look at the recent batches of YC companies and more than 70% of them seemed to be of the "meta" type, startups selling to startups. Of course these companies do well initially being able to tap into YC's huge community of startups. That doesn't mean they provide fundamental value to the economy, they're just sloshing around a lot of VC money.

On the other hand, maybe that's intentional, kindof of how sports players practice on each other before facing others in a real game. YC is like a startup playground, but the ones who "make it" are those who can use their experience to play in the wider economy. Still, I feel like YC is providing a lot of false hope to people by not being more selective in the ideas they fund.

Hmm, that sounds interesting.

Could you point me to a good example of art subverting its patron?
I think it can be okay with companies large or small if the contract is something that is negotiated with real opportunity for making changes like removing such agreements. Arbitration when done with the real consent of both parties and with the choice of a neutral party that isn't expecting more business from one of them can save time and money. However, it's tyrannical for both large and small companies to just force these things on people regardless of how vulnerable their business model is.

I'd note that it has never occurred to me that arbitration would ever have been in my own interest.
The average may have trended down, but the variance went up, and some of the best episodes are in the later seasons.

I'd suggest looking at episode ratings or something and cherry-picking. It definitely was not some sort of total tanking or anything.

In fact, I'd call it the only case I've ever seen of trying to "bring the band back together" that largely succeeded. Not 100%, no, but they did much better than average.

That said, when the show ended for the last time, I was satisfied.
De-clustered RAID also has disk replacement times that are proportional to usage instead of capacity, right? Whereas RAID5 and RAID6 require replicating empty blocks?

This might be a dumb question but how would named colors be more consistent across monitors? I thought they mapped to the same RGB value so there would be no difference between 'red' and #FF0000.

Thanks!

We're currently experimenting with pricing (charging retainer or SaaS fees for advanced/ongoing analysis) but think we can keep referrals vendor-agnostic by standardizing referral rates and aligning incentives in a way where we get a small percentage over a long time period of usage. We're trying to optimize for long-term satisfaction and usage of a product so only want to be rewarded when we can fulfill that.

Also we'll always give a transparent reason for why each vendor was recommended or excluded based on your use case requirements (this vendor doesn't fit your compliance or cost requirements, this vendor has low average ease-of-use rating and you said ease of use was a high priority for you, etc).

In terms of keeping track of every product, feature, release - it's currently being done in a combination of monitoring tools for public docs, websites, and releases and in some cases we will directly communicate with the vendor to validate. In the future we're hoping to create a system of record whether that's an API or interface so vendors can push information to us directly (which we will then vet for accuracy) to keep things accurate and up to date. Eventually we want to help standardize terminology, and potentially even standardize some benchmarks so developers can view features and performance in a more uniform way.

How are you providing network level redundancy with dumb switches? My only guess is that the ISP is already doing HSRP/VRRP on the gateway and you can setup multiple NICs/switches with something like CARP and being careful not to make L2 loops.
Seconded. I was pleasantly surprised to see the 'how it works' section.

Ask HN: General purpose programmatic animation system?
I have recently been playing with animation software (Synfig and Pencil2d), and was excited when I saw the recent discussion of Manim (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26498527).

Is there a reasonably stable, reasonably high quality system similar to Manim but for doing general-purpose 2d animations? I'd like to make animations somewhat like to Montemayor's (https://youtu.be/Bd8_vO5zrjo), for example.

I gained 4k IG followers in 10 days
Hey Hackers!

When I started my Instagram growth journey back in February, I realized that capturing people’s attention and getting them to enjoy my content took a lot more than uploading pictures of random stuff and using the right hashtags.

I had to find my followers in a lush forest; and when I found them, my work only got more intense because their attention was fleeting.

Of course, it involved a lot of sleepless nights trying not only to make sense of Instagram but more importantly understanding what makes for engaging people-friendly content.

It’s actually much easier than you think to grow organically on Instagram. The key is to find the right balance between marketing and socializing.

Anyway, here's my 5-step process that you can copy to skyrocket your Instagram growth strategy:

1. Build a thriving community.
Create some value, educate your audience, and co-create with similar makers or influencers.

2. Know your followers and make them heroes.
You should engage continuously with your audience and showcase your communications with them in your story.

3. Post whenever you have something to say.
You should be posting stories as often as possible and publish posts whenever you have something relevant to share with your community.
Get creative and make your audience curious about your content!

4. Interact with non-followers.
Obviously, you can't generate growth with your current followers. Go like, follow, watch stories from your target audience that is not following you. Repeat this method often as possible.
Ektora.com is the tool I used to automate the whole process – I built it and it's very powerful.

5. Understand the power of Instagram insights.
Reach: Estimates how many profiles have seen your content.
Engagement Rate: Tracks your followers' level of interaction with your content.
New Followers: Measures the number of followers you've gained today.

My thoughts on this:

1) Your brain cells are just a special type of cell. How these brain cells send and receive signals, interact and make connection, is coded at the cellular level. Software without hardware to run on, is just text.

2) You are born with certain conscious behaviours that you don't need to learn. This behaviour must be passed between generations using DNA/RNA. Therefore the coding for that later behaviour must already be present when you were just two cells.
This is not the way to get people on board with accessibility. Open a PR and fix the issue or come up with ways to make accessibility an easier branch to reach or more common knowledge.
The 'dark forest model' is predicated on game theory. This same model controls nuclear conflict doctrine on earth and is responsible for megatons pointed at you right now. An old 50's methodology, absorb the Russians since we cant beat icbm's and dont trust they would disarm under a treaty.
In a multiploar world arms races continue (this then is a mini analogue for grabby aliens but based on nation states). Worryingly usa now seeks asymetric dominance in this area increasing the likelyhood of conflict (or is it worrying?).
I would say at this point that perhaps advanced intelligences, or even aumented humans of 50 years hence! Or decentralised direct democracies of 5 - 10 years from now! Or me! May consider 'game theory' and its paranoid centralised power adherants as psychotic and a smaller filter in of itself ( to our kind of socially structured lifeform).
The dark forest has as its conlusion relativistic first strike weapons ( the same as the missile 'shield' )

I would think grabby aliens + uplift and absorption would answer the question of how they deal with new life.
Dark forest is a fad imho, and if im wrong, well i dont think we'll be like that, and we will still succeed if we get out of this period
I am (again) saddened to see how much of HN appears to be engrossed in right-wing grifterism.

The GOP is literally playing with the fire of stochastic & headless terrorism, driven by a sophisticated & well-documented misinformation campaign that has convinced many millions of people that the election was stolen and that donald trump(of all people) is anointed by god to root out a global satanic, pedophilistic cabal that is responsible for all of the world's woes. A lot of these people think the world is ending and it's now or never.

These same people showed up at the nation's capital with every intention of taking hostages & holding show trials.

But you know what the real problem is? Groups of young, ineffectual leftists who don't even show up to vote let alone participate in government.

In college, we actually did the "Drink when you see the robot" game with that episode on a fairly regular basis.

They intentionally made a ton of scenes with Bender entering/exiting frame such that anyone seriously following the rule would be hammered before the episode was over.

I don't think it's possible for this to only be a minor setback. I predict her career in journalism is over. Her name is now associated with having made racist tweets and from having to resign from Teen Vogue. Identity matters a lot in professional journalism and I don't see how any media outlet would want to take her up as a writer knowing that they'd have to deal with the bad publicity that would arise. Why not just hire someone else with no baggage?
It would have been baffling to me in the past, but I've felt it's pretty clear that YouTube is more interested in catering to mainstream entertainment giants rather than individual content creators. It's baffling they'd even bother with this now. The only reason I can think of why they would introduce this feature is that their algorithm has been backfiring on content creators they are politically aligned with.
Through multiple watches, I've come to really like Bender's Big Score and The Beast with a Billion Backs. They are very different than the normal 22 minute episodes, but they have a lot of depth that you don't normally get in regular episodes.

The later seasons have few worthwhile episodes, notably:

* S6 - EP7 - The Late Philip J. Fry
* S7 - EP26 - Meanwhile (Series Finale)

That said, I agree with you, most of my favorite episodes are from the first four seasons.
Also, masks don't filter all the viruses, they just reduce the amount you breathe in. Viral load is important, an infection will be less likely to lead to a disease if the viral load is low, e.g. because you are wearing a mask or keeping distance.

If there is, in addition, a partial immunity, e.g. from a former flu infection, the threshold for the necessary viral load to cause a disease is even higher. Which is why masks are usually more effective against the flu.
The said method doesn't support cross-platform executions (at least not without some qemu hackery).

I can totally see how I would use this to transcode videos from my NAS using my main workstation CPU since both are connected through a 10gbs switch though (need to figure out how to integrate this with Plex transcoding flow).
In my case, it's 15 minutes.

1. Get a new server
2. Connect ethernet and IPMI ports
3. Add node definition to XCAT
4. Set boot to network, arm node for installation, power-on
5. Profit.
6. Get a coffee.

It's 15 minutes for [1-150] servers. Slightly longer for 150+. Because, network.

Any further setup is done via Salt, if necessary. With a single state file.

Fun fact: I provision K8S nodes that way too.

“Please rise for the futurama theme song” - Ep 41
I really love all the cool features AWS keeps adding to their offerings but god does the bill adds up so quickly.

I just realised that I was paying almost $100 a month for things I'm now getting for almost free by just choosing alternative providers like Digitalocean, Cloudflare, etc.

- For example AWS charges 50 cents per DNS zone. I have had a lot of domains in route 53 (it was part of a setup script) which added almost $25 to my bill each month. I moved all my domain to DO and it's $0 now

- Then even with S3 things start to add up quickly. Cost associated with data storage and bandwidth is insane compared to spaces which is $5 flat and I've never exceed what comes in it.

- Most expensive were the EBS snapshots or something. I have been AWS for god knows how long and there were just too many snapshots (AMIs) that were there. Don't think you can download/upload then but they started adding quite on my bill.

- Load balancer also adds like $2 or $5 or something per instance if I remember correctly. Not sure what it is now.

Anyway point being if you are a solo dev and you're not too careful about costs (read lazy), AWS bill can be a good chunk of change per month .
