I think it will be decades before self driving cars replace humans entirely. The transition from 0 to “some” is happening at snail’s pace, and even once the cities are conquered, there is the enormously long tail of edge cases like countryside driving that will not be ready for a very long time, if ever.

I picked "floaters" because that is one of many en_GB slang terms for a piece of excrement floating in a toilet bowl. cf turd etc.

I will now rename my shortcut to "dump floaters". Dump is en_GB for the act of delivering floaters and also a slang term for "get rid of". So I unleash a bit of JS with a name that simultaneously means to create or remove a lump of shit, depending on how you decipher it.

That seems quite appropriate.

You’re not wrong, but anyone can do “the right thing” when the incentives are aligned already. I’d say that honor requires one to do the right thing even when doing the wrong thing could be immensely profitable, and even when nobody would know.
> the core group controlling bitcoin decided a tiny block size limit suited their interests

Even if there was some conspiracy going on, this happened in what 2017? The price of Bitcoin rose from ~2K to ~60K up to today. So whatever 'the group behind bitcoin' did, the market seems to agree with 'them'.

All the Bitcoin forks who misleadingly claim to be "the real Bitcoin" are either dead now or the market values them at <1/100 of BTC. Conspiracy theories tend to grow over time so maybe this is now just 'the group behind Bitcoin' manipulating the global markets as well?

I'd like to add to the other replies that first-class i/o is less about "papering over" side effects, and more about reining in exactly where side-effects can occur, the kinds of side effects that are allowed, and requiring a full enumeration of possible outcomes (resource exhaustion, you don't have permission, etc).

Also I thought I was developing anxiety attacks at one point but turns out it was just heart burn. Didn't find out until it got worse. The symptom was that it messes up your breathing to the point where you have to consciously start breathing and can't take deep breaths with your diaphragm. As soon as the heartburn goes away you're able to breath normally again.

And FYI, the same thing would apply to any culture that lacks a writing system i.e. 'Vietnam' as you said.

We refer to stages of cultural development i.e. 'Iron/Bronze/Steel' but we may very well use 'Oral/Written/Printing Press/Digital'.

The same limitations apply: if you can't forge things with Iron (like strong chariots/carts & ploughs), there's a variety of advancements you can't make. Likewise, if you don't have reading/writing, you're equally limited.

You can't do mass farming without high quality carts and ploughs, and you can't build schools without reading and writing. Without those things, you can't get very far.
Recent mentions of mindfulness have made it obsolete as it is something that akkktually does not work and it should not be advised as something that works(for everyone).

Well, the reason here is that I tried mindfulness(because I was probably extremelly stressed out from what was going on around me at that time) and it was not working and here is why(from REAL expert):
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/2...

Even though, some of the things mentioned in THIS article(by Emma Pattee) are written with right words, it should be mentioned, that Emma Pattee has not presented them as a medical expert on anxiety, but as a writer, so anything that is written in article should be taken as a (wishful) literature - not medical help.

It is best advice to not to worry about things - and the main thing here is that for everyone there is different path on how to achieve that... though, it is quite impossible task for really stressed out human, where even normal social reactions can be interpreted as hostile, that will add more cycles to stress and postpone getting out of worries.
Anxiety is so general a diagnosis as to be useless in discussing treatment with exercise and breathing.
This post is more notable for what it doesn't say than what it says. I see a lot of words that don't amount to much besides PR fluff. I don't see much about how to maintain the viability of the only independent browser engine left in today's web market, how to be more financially independent, or the fate of that engine after the substantial layoffs they made.
One should clarify that basically nobody tries to "predict" anything with Black Scholes, just as basically nobody "predicts" share prices by doing a discounted cash flow analysis. Yet, they each provide the conceptual framework for trading (of options and stocks, respectively) in such a way that those that have better predictive power make money, on average, at the expense of those traders that don't. With that, they make the market efficient for traders that trade for other reasons (hedging, investing, gambling, etc.).
Eh, a gross oversimplification.

Feeling troubled by being anxious in the modern world is a "cerebral" issue. The guy who mistook an innocent animal as a tiger and freaked out because of it didn't feel bad for feeling anxious for no reason. We do. Because it interferes with our daily functioning / responsibilities in the modern world.

Anxiety is also very frequently comorbid with other mental disorders. Especially OCD or OCD like tendencies, depression etc. I am medicated now and feel a lot better but when my anxiety was worse, the chatter of my "conscious" brain murmuring about "what if" scenarios was the worst. My point is, yes, anxiety manifests itself in a physical way, big time, but that is only half the problem. The discomfort with being anxious, constantly thinking about the possibility of having an anxiety attack even if you are not physically anxious "at that time", evaluating the "what if" scenarios, the constant planning to work around possible issues, all that torture are very cognitive pursuits and they were a lot of a bigger burden on my quality of life than experiencing an anxiety attack now and then.
I like the font on this site. Who knows the name of it?
Who in their right mind would take their psychological advice from a fiction writer?!?

First, no, anxiety is not in your body. Fear, just like any other emotion is in your brain. You might get physiological responses in the form of chemicals in your body. That is an effect, not a cause.

Second, neocortex is not "thinking brain," its role is to manage social interactions. Cognition is a small part of that.

Third, mindfulness is the opposite of any therapy I can think of. It is an ego-depletion technique proven to be detrimental to people suffering from anxiety and depression.

Finally, I don't know who performed therapy on the author but some steps seem to be missing:

//> when you have an anxiety attack, the only thing you can do is to perform the grounding exercises. Yes, that is the moment you start counting and do square breathing exercises. If people in the military can do it while in stressful situations, you can do it from behind a macbook. Nothing is treated mid-episode.

//> once the episode is over, you can explore the trigger. Chances are that your response is healthy, you are in a situation you should be anxious, but your behavioural response is over the top. A trigger contains the stimulus, the circumstance and your personal patterns (e.g. personal experiences).

//> part of the role of the therapist is to help you figure out the patterns. The other is to see if your behavioural responses are productive for you or not. If loud sounds make you run like hell, that is a good thing in an active shooter situation or a war theatre. Not so much at a birthday party where a balloon popped.

Minimum Wage Would Be $44 an Hour If It Grew at Wall Street Bonus Rate
One of my pandemic projects that's ongoing is putting a 5x86 PC compatibility card and a "Radius Rocket" 68040 card (basically a Quadra 900 on a Nubus card) into a first-gen PowerPC Macintosh, so that I can have each running their era appropriate OSes in parallel and communicating with each other over IPX networking... to play DOOM II against one another all at the same time.

I'd hoped it would be a nice little stress-release valve from startup CEOing occasionally, but you really get an appreciation for how much more flexible, interoperable, and stable modern computers are. The old hardware and software is incredibly fiddly, though to be fair PC compatibility cards and Radius Rockets are themselves magnificent hacks for the most part, so it's not all that surprising that they're fiddly. That said, while just differently stressful, it's still fun and rewarding when some piece of the pie fits in place.
To explain in more detail:

The x86 machine code format is decently simple to decode. It has a couple of opcode maps (one-byte opcodes, another for a two-byte opcode, and two more for three-byte opcodes. Each opcode needs to note which register bank the r field encodes, which one the r/m field encodes, and which one maps to the first and second argument; and additionally if it uses the ModR/M byte in the first place and the size of the immediate it uses (if any).

There are two complications to this basic scheme. The first is that some prefixes are "mandatory prefixes" (66h/F2h/F3h being the most common) for some instructions as opposed to simple modifications. The second is that some instructions take a ModR/M byte but use the different values of that byte to distinguish instructions. For example, 0FAE esp, [mem] would actually be XSAVE [mem] while 0FAE ebp, [mem] would be XRESTOR [mem].

Personally, I've considered building a kind of "world's worst x86 decoder" where ignoring the latter considerations is actually a feature of the decoder.

Really wish the CEO was concentrating on making a technically excellent browser, instead of writing esoteric and vague virtue signalling posts.

But Firefox stopped caring about that once they threw out their addon ecosystem a few years back. Obviously they've been in decline even before then, but it surely didn't help.

It's a real shame that the browser that once spearheaded the fight against IE's monopoly position has now almost faded into irrelevance.
I'm surprised that Houston isn't considered as a reasonable alternative for Austin. It has all the benefits of the Texas state government, but the cost of living is basically half of what it is in Austin, or a third of what it is in SV. There are no zoning laws, which means that it can expand endlessly and has a similar feeling to other cities without zoning laws, ie: you'll find a dive bar in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Montrose has such an awesome, dirty, authentic feeling. I could gush forever about Houston.

The city already survived the oil booms of the past and retained a unique feeling -- the injection of tech money isn't going to change that. Between NASA's JSC, Rice University, and the University of Houston, there's a half-decent talent pool to draw from. For a deeper talent pool, it's just a few hours away from all of Austin, Dallas, and College Station.

"Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It's a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the west—which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch." - Hunter S. Thompson
Are tech companies responsible? It seems to me that we blame them because they're the only competent party thanks to the current state of local government. Deciding growth and development seems like the domain of local government, not corporations. I think that's the problem we need to fix, because it's a problem we, the citizens, can fix, since we're able to vote and participate in government.

The problems in SV, Austin, Seattle, etc are caused by failures of local governments. The success of big tech certainly fuels the problems, but it is the poor decisions of local citizens and their governments that resulted in the traffic, housing and cultural isssues.

This is true, but it’s more rare than it sounds. It’s a challenge for doctors because mental health still carries a stigma of weakness, whereas physical ailments don’t. Many patients are resistant to mental health diagnoses, instead insisting that they are suffering from undiagnosed physical ailments.

Doctors do consider physical causes for issues like anxiety, but they’ll avoid proposing it directly to the patient in order to avoid giving them the wrong idea.

There have been several studies performed on this topic, although they tend to focus on depression. The number of cases with identifiable physical causes are in the low single digit percentages.

In other words, keep an eye out for additional symptoms that may suggest a physical ailment, but start with the most likely explanation: That the disorder is best approached as a mental health issue

Yeah, but the standard deviation goes by sqrt(n) for many operations, and there is significant autocorrelation. Interval arithmetic will give you worst-case bounds, which will quickly get fantastically pessimistic.

Numerical analysis was a field invented to give realistic error bounds.
> As a live theatre industry professional, movie theaters will go the way of theatre,

They've already gone that way, in part, particularly during the 60s, 70s and 80s when a large share of cinemas closed. Then it sort of stabilised, at least in terms of screens: while cinemas kept on closing, some others got bigger. But those bigger ones rely on the business of blockbusters.

Maybe it will start dropping again and turn the way you foresee, I don't know.

What a pleasant surprise to find this article at the top of HN! Minutes ago I finished a workshop on a somatic therapy technique. It's a relief to see these ideas gaining mainstream attention after so many years of making little progress on my own anxiety, depression, and procrastination.

For other relevant scientific perspectives, I recommend looking into the theory around "memory reconsolidation."

- Kaj Sotala does a good job of summarizing an important book in the field here: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/i9xyZBS3qzA8nFXNQ/book-summa...

- How Emotions are Made also provides a perspective from neuropsychology on what's going on: https://www.amazon.com/How-Emotions-Made-Lisa-Barrett/dp/132....

- The Polyvagal Theory stuff mentioned in the article is also great, and some classic accessible books on the overall topic include The Body Keeps the Score and Waking the Tiger.

I'm personally a fan of a technique called Emotional Resolution (EmRes), which is notably simple and effective, and that you can learn to apply to yourself after a 90 minute course, but there are many other approaches: Organic Intelligence, somatic experiencing, cranio-sacral therapy, bioenergetics and core energetics, and many more. Effective self-therapy methods include Core Transformation, Focusing, and "self-therapy".

Keywords to search for are: "somatic therapy," "body work," "energy work" or "energy medicine."

From what I've seen, Matrix is far worse metadata-wise than Signal. If Signal is bad, Matrix is worse.
Most of the deaths of fire fighters who responded to Chernobyl were not from radiation sickness.

They were from bacterial sepsis from severe skin burns from beta emitters ("beta burns") due to having a layer of radioactive dust on their protective jackets and wearing them for hours after exposure.

A "few millimetres" of skin or any tissue is a massive wound path, particularly over a large area of something like skin, and it presents as a "burn" with the same treatment profile as any other.

Beta emitters are by far one of the most dangerous radioactive risks - precisely because they're incredibly not dangerous under fairly minor control conditions, but rapidly lethal if you're contaminated in the wrong way.

This is probably a completely safe way to deal with this material ultimately, considering dilution, but it's important to be very clear on why. Beta emitters are very dangerous under the right circumstances, more so then gamma.

The future of Intel's manufacturing process (2000)
Maybe I should have directly mentioned that "some guard against FP errors" includes a generic guard against errors. If your system processes messy data then you probably want some guards anyway and FP errors are just one (relatively small) class of errors. In fact I would be more worried if embedded devices don't have such guards than if they do faulty FP calculations.

There are also many classes of softwares where FP inaccuracy is simply no problem---such as 3D rendering where the worst FP error is probably z-fighting. Not every application of FP requires "correct" calculation.

> What newer games do, they allow client and server run simulations independently even when they don't agree exactly, and then reconcile the results from time to time.

That's not what "newer" games do, it's what games that can withstand the trade-off do. In particular if the outcome of a particular action is crucial to players you can't reconcile that (projectiles are canonical examples); once the player observed the outcome it's done. Reconcilation thus typically happens in the animation level, so that it can hide the delay until the outcome is observed. This does not actually require the simulation---an simple interpolation is frequent AFAIK---so your point is irrelevant.

There are several genres of games where the lockstep simulation remains pretty much the only way, and thus FP is discouraged. Not because FP is expensive, which had been false for quite a long time anyway (no game developer uses the "fast" inverse square root algorithm any more).
I do have questions about the Digital Currency Group, Blockstream, MasterCard, and the former head of the Bilderburg group, but I'll need to read up on that in depth to come to any conclusions.
