There’s a big difference, “Weekly World News” was in the grocery aisle between Archie comics and celebrity gossip. It was a fun distraction. Similarly, crazy public access programs were on a specific channel for the purpose of allowing local viewpoints.

Editorial standards in the normal media didn’t allow for the type of propaganda that is mainstream today. The NY Times didn’t write about Bigfoot, because it’s silly and would detract from their reputation. Who would take a publication talking about batboy seriously?

Reddit/Twitter/Facebook specifically denies accountability for anything - they hijack the credibility of organizations AND you to drive engagement, period. If the content is gross, it’s not “their fault”.

Charlie Munger summarized capitalism in China at the Daily Journal annual meeting last month--

"A lot of people assume that since England led the industrial revolution and it always had free speech that free speech is required to have a booming economy as prescribed by Adam Smith. But the Chinese have proved you don't need free speech to have a wonderful economy. They just copied Adam Smith and left out the free speech and it worked fine for them."

For your situation, I would go with C# and use windows Presentation foundation for the GUI. This will allow you to drag and drop the GUI and just worry about parsing the emails. You get access to all of this with VS Studio Community. The plus side C# is pretty quick to pick up if you have experience in either C++ or Java.

Downvoting without thinking is also not healthy, because @amelius is right. In fact, there are quite a few HN submissions discussing the side affects of too much thinking.
I was just thinking this past weekend about how bald eagles are endangered and how it would be so cool to see one some day. I'm American, but I've spent very little of the last 10 years in the US. I was taught in grade school that bald eagles were endangered and I had no idea that they were making a comeback. Very cool!

You do not have to equip everyone who takes cash with a scanner, as banknotes regularly circulate through banks.

I do not know how, and how frequently, current anti-counterfeiting measures are checked, but the more subtle of them are almost never checked in ordinary cash transactions. Presumably they are checked somewhere?

> This is pretty bad for Taiwan geopolitically though... once US chipmakers have a plausible local manufacturing alternative, the US is less likely to risk WW3 by standing up to China if/when it tries to annex Taiwan.

I doubt it changes much to the demise of modern world. The industry will still go down given that you have many, many, many more things in the semiconductor supply chain that is run by some single vendor in the world from Taiwan, and that includes consumables too.

US may get a modern fab, or two, but it will still eventually run out of many know-how intensive inputs for those fabs.
NCR has been delivering on-prem solutions worldwide for decades, their most popular offering, Aloha, stores transactions at the site in cases of Internet outages, and pushes them up whenever conditions improve. This works as well in suburbia and Western Europe as it does in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America

I personally work on their edge team to deliver backend services for their next-gen offering.

GNOME is the default desktop for nearly every major Linux distribution. It's the desktop that nearly everyone experiences if they decide to give Linux a try. As such its shortcomings are much more apparent than for something like, say, Xfce that you have to go out of your way to experience.

My frustrations with GNOME are not about polish, they're about reliability. Users don't care about polish when they update their OS and suddenly wifi doesn't work. I sincerely hope GNOME is more reliable now than it was in the past.

> By the same logic we should print charts of heart rates and body temperature from starting from 0

No. We do not want to prove anything here. The trend can be only within a range so that range should be used.

> Regional temperature over time plots should always start from 0 kelvin

If you discuss how wide the changes are - yes. But thi si not what you are looking at - you are looking at temperatures between -50C and +50C (taking the extremes) and this is also the reason why thermometers are scaled like that.

> The idea that "charts should start at 0" is an absurd dogma that is immediately recognizable as such by anyone that has ever worked with data visualization to make decisions.

Certainly. I believe that physicists and engineers who did actual research on actual data can be dismissed.

> A better guideline is to display a reasonable range that lets you see historically what has been possible with a bit of buffer.

It depends on what you want to show. If you want to show relative changes then plot relative changes. If you want to discuss absolute changes (which in the article do not make any sense) then you have to address the whole range. We are talking about millions of something, and that something can drop to zero.

> For relatively Gaussian changes a few standard deviations is good.

On what basis do you assume that you have a gaussian distribution? (I assume - of changes, form your comment)

> In general your limits should not be outside of the bounds of what is reasonably possible

A data scientist making a real analysis will look at what is reasonably possible, but possible full stop. This sets the ranges of observation. To take your first example, the only possible temperatures when dealing with a live body in ambient temperature is from, say, 17C to about 44C. Thi is the range that should be used when discussing "wild changes in temperature. And not a graph that goes from 36.5 to 37 and showing valleys and mountains and drawing conclusions from there.

> Coffee trade is not going to 0 anytime soon, and suggesting that visually is dishonest

What is visually dishonest is to show absolute changes and make any kind of comments on how important they are by not taking the possible values, especially when talking about values going down.
That's not the primary issue. The main issue that there isn't (or wasn't until recently) a fast, low overhead way to communicate between JavaScript and native code. That's changing with JSI, and I think we might find React Native gets a lot faster in practice if they ever complete the work.
That's probably worth a try for me. For e.g. some small nonprofit, they probably would be happy to pay $24/year more and have everything hosted at the same provider that handles their domain registration.
Makes you wonder if those buildings would be rigged already. Conspiracy level stuff, for sure but it is such a strategic asset.

I've noticed some of the popular reddits like /r/interestingasfuck /r/nextfuckinglevel (there's a pattern here) have totally degraded in content. It's supposed to be amazing things like extreme sports but it's entirely Facebook-meme-tier pictures of a guy with some text on top about him recovering from cancer that seems made up.

I can't tell if this is organic or not. If so it might be people leaving Facebook who aren't capable of irony enough to be interesting, but I think it's mobile-optimizing karma farmers.
Recovering addict here, couple decades clean: yes, that's been true for years. If you are in touch with the using-addict population, for instance you're in recovery and participate in meetings, you'd be certain of this.

It's weird when maybe a double-digit percentage of the people you know, wind up dead (and this is before covid). When you include people you know, upset because people THEY know have overdosed and died, then yeah: the effects of fentanyl are pretty damn apparent. People will not be addicts cautiously. Even if they think that's what they're being, they're mistaken.

“MEL will stop publishing effective Wednesday”
I think the article points at the correct root cause of most of this - “overthinking”.

It isn’t just the overanalysis of day to day occurrences, the worrying about tangibles and the ratifying possibilities of every decision, the playing out of realistic hypotheticals - there are vast categories of intangibles to mull over which will really get you down if you consider them deeply enough.

Most hyper-intelligent people I know are more or less consumed by existential dread. Some cope better than others - and that’s usually environmental.

I found building a business ultimately unfulfilling, as no matter what success we found, it all just felt like so much artifice, sand castles in a playpit - and in the meantime I’d worry about the collapse of civilisation (my god, it’s a razor’s edge we blunder blithely along), the insignificance of all human existence in an immense and dispassionate universe, whether anything is even real, anyway, and then, what does real even mean. Down the miserable fucking rabbit hole you go.

A change of scene was good. I dig holes, build things, cut and plant trees, sow seeds, and while the dread is still most definitely there, it’s bearable with a more direct connection to the here and now, the simplicity and challenges of the changing seasons, of just surviving in nature. Oh, and appreciating just how little control I actually have over my environment - my decisions don’t mean shit more often than not, as nature usually has other ideas, and a coin toss is just as good.

Which makes me wonder if perhaps the problem isn’t intelligence itself, but what the intelligent choose to do with it - typically some highly abstracted field, where it’s easy to feel disconnected from everything, and where the decisions to be made are complex and deeply interconnected in their inputs and outputs.

It’d be interesting to slice the Mensa survey by profession. It might be stronger than the IQ correlation.
I like the concept, but using the profiler to grab locally declared tests is a bit more magic than I'm comfortable with in my tests.

Something like this might be a good compromise:

def describe_my_function(register):
@register
def with_this_thing():
...

I think most Python devs understand that "register" can have a side-effect.
Just like in a fraternity, you get connections. Mensa is basically a network of highly intelligent people (or at least people with high IQ) that help each other in different ways for further their education and career. Being part of Mensa can open doors that would otherwise be locked or very hard to open.
Agreed, there are probably some stability concerns. But I expect the largest aspect is just energy usage. Brains use a lot of energy and until recently it was the primary limiting factor.

Otherwise we would also all have more muscle mass. There doesn't seem to be much downside to that.
It’s not just about you. It’s about protecting those around you in your community more susceptible and vulnerable to the virus.

You ever have to watch someone struggle with something you know how to do extremely well?

Like watching someone take 5 seconds per keystroke because they have to hunt and peck on the keyboard while slowly and deliberately sounding out the letters they're typing?

You know that feeling of wanting to just push them out of the way because you could get whatever completely done by the time they finish the next step in the process?

You ever felt like grabbing someone's face and just point blank ask them why they don't "get it"? Because it's the simplest thing in the world to you?

Now imagine your entire life was that. Of essentially having to wait for people to catch up to where you were. Couple that with the nagging thought in the back of your mind that you could be the one that's wrong because so many people are on the other side of the issue. What do they see that you don't? And then when they finally do catch up, treat it like it was the most obvious thing ever.

I can see how that would wear on people. How that would make them depressed, how they would be difficult to relate to, how it would be difficult to communicate with them.

Sometimes I feel saying that intelligent people have difficulties relating to people or communicating with others is akin to saying it's difficult to run as fast as Usain Bolt. It's like "No shit, but it's not a problem on Bolt's end".
When understanding any sort of genetically determined trait, it's important to remember that there are often two orthogonal forces at work.

One is the overall concentration of rare mutations. The vast majority of mutations have a negative impact on fitness, so rare mutations (which haven't had enough time to be selected by evolution), almost always are bad across the board. This is why we see an association between IQ and facial symmetry. A random cosmic ray that flips a bit in the genome will lead to transcription errors which cause subtle but persistent problems across the phenotype. Individuals with a high mutagenic load are more likely to have a whole cluster of unambiguously bad outcomes.

The second force at work though are specific tradeoffs made by natural selection. Unlike rare mutations, an allele that's penetrated some fraction of the population comes with both advantages and disadvantages. Otherwise over time, it's penetration would either fall to zero if unambiguously bad, or rise to one if unambiguously good. You're more likely to see this allele have varying penetration for populations in different environments. For example Africans have high rates of sickle cell, because the advantage of malarial protection outweighs the disadvantages. Northern Europeans have high rates of hemochromatosis, because a very high dairy diet creates a high risk of anemia.

With that in mind, it's very hard to disentangle the relationship between phenotypical traits. To a first approximation, high IQ people are mostly those who won the genetic lottery and have low mutational load. You'd expect them to be healthier along virtually every metric.

However, that doesn't tell you if there's a fundamental evolutionary tradeoff. It very well could be the case that intelligence increases the risk of anxiety, schizophrenia or autism. There may be certain design constraints that evolution's working with, where increasing intelligence on the population level comes at too high of a cost in other areas. One example of this is that we know that APOE4, a gene that drastically increases risk of Alzheimers, confers a significant memory and IQ advantage in youth.
That's interesting info, I wonder if a toaster sized magnetic field would be enough to protect people from being irradiated in space?

You're beautifully showing the human nature which can be problematic in my opinion.

First of, no human player achieves 99% winrate against diamond players. there are many cheeses, one miss-step and you lose. GM's can lose to Diamond players.

Now for the main part, you're saying and I'm rephrasing here:

Even if the AI is statistically better than humans because it has some weaknesses I'm going to prefer the human.

But still at the end of the day, the AI does a better job on average and will be safer to use than human pilots!

We already heavily rely on software\algorithms for our most important things. all modern vehicles use electronic systems that monitor\manage several key components, stock market is heavily managed by bots.

If AI can do a significantly better job than human, I would choose the AI, even if it behaves strange in that 0.1% of cases. humans are not as reliable as you think.
During the pandemic many developers are working from home, so scratch off transportation. Most developers in the corporate world work 40-45 hours per including lunch, breaks, and distractions. So normally that could be something like 9am to 5:30pm. If you have flexible office hours you can push that to 7am-3:30pm.

If you are into open source you can spend 2 hours per night. Where you put that two hours is up to you, but you need to break for a scheduled meal. A scheduled meal ensures better nutrition and mental health plus some dedicated family time. This mean you program open source from 4-6pm or 8-10pm. Which ever you choose the other is dedicated time with the kids or chores around the house. Then you can spend about an hour before bed watching a show with your spouse.

You still need time to exercise and I find it’s better to do that in the morning with less mental fatigue so I will wake at about 5am.

When you need to participate in a side job that is structured time dedicated in a scheduled way, one or two weekends a month and occasional emails and a rare phone conference during the week in the evening.
This confuses me, as shipping containers seem... really easy to produce. They're not CPUs; you don't need a special fab. They're corrugated boxes made of welded cold-rolled steel. Pretty much every country — every industry in every country! — should be able to scrape together the natural resources to make their own shipping containers. There should never be a shortage of supply of shipping containers, any more than there could have been a shortage in supply of, say, the hemp sacks used in bulk shipping in the 1700s. You need one? You make one!

From the article:

> Denmark’s A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, the world’s largest shipping company, said containers and charter vessels are temporarily unavailable for purchase or lease

I have a feeling it's more about the ships. Shipbuilding is a pretty CapEx-intensive pursuit. Container production, not so much.
That's a really good point, more demand for the limited number of transaction space pushes up the tx price, incentivizing mining. Currently though, the majority of the block reward comes from inflation not transaction fees. With BTC price so high, it's likely that stopping transactions completely would not cause any miners to drop off as mining would still be profitable, which is why I say there's no marginal cost.

In the future, fees will necessarily become the dominant compensation as the inflation rate decreases, so this will likely stop being true. This is pretty far off though, and it's not clear that the environmental issue will still exist either due to a change in mining or just wider use of renewables for mining.

> They have also been expanding outside China-Taiwan, distributing their capacity and developing support in the USA and Europe. Worst case (actual shooting war between China and Taiwan) they would have a lot to fall back on.

Very unlikely. In case of a shooting war, the industry will run out of consumables sooner, or later. As a fact, 90%+ of them come from the Taiwan/Japan/Korea triangle, and just any military move in the region will be effectively shutting the industry down globally.
