Big facepalm.

On the matter of summaries: I do something similar.

I also feel that writing things down in your own words goes a long way. When I'm writing things down in my own words I also like to pretend that I'm explaining it to someone who has no knowledge of the topic.

For me at least, this makes every note I take an attempt at an explanation and I often completely rewrite a note on a topic without looking at a previous one. I can then compare them to see how I've progressed as well as replacing the old one if the new one is more concise. I guess this is quite similar to your style.

This usually only takes 2-3 iterations before I'm comfortable with a topic, but if it's something important I need to learn for the long term, I do the re-writing of a note in spaced-repitition-like intervals.
If everything we know about a person, whether it be a Thiel, a Gates, a Soros, a Barak, a Trump, we learned through the media, and, we believe the media is biased, how much confidence should we have in our opinions of them?

I spend a lot of time working out why I believe what I believe about people I know strictly from 2nd or 3rd hand information, and for the most part, it stands on pretty soft foundations. Hence, I remain flexible in my opinions in such cases.

Meaning, I wouldn't write and publish articles that ascribe confidence in my conclusions.
Is that surprising?

Since Linux became unstable on one oft my Intel Laptops (only this one system) (crashes, multi monitor problems,...) I wanted to try FreeBSD in it (Linux compatibility, zfs, ...) but the recent wireguard nearly merge and the following reaction [0] made me pause in actually trying it.

I hope the developer and merge polcies aren't as headless as they seem.

Well, I am skeptical. It's why I asked (and apparently pissed off some down-voting-inclined people by asking).

>Firefox makes their money through search engine placement and donations

I have to assume you wrote this in good faith, however, this is a circuitous way of describing how Mozilla / Firefox makes its money.

It comes directly from Google! One can easily imagine a future where Firefox must implement FLoC to continue receiving that money.
The "hubris plus gumption minus diligence" mindset can be frequently found among adherents of all sorts of ideologies. If anything, reactionaries are likely to shy away from solutions that no one has ever thought of before in favor of solutions that they think have worked before.

This is still true, you just might have to move to a different place from where you grew up to get it. You know, like enormous amounts of our parents/grandparents/ancestors did (why did people come to the USA in the first place? Lack of access to housing where they were from ;p )
That’s the same as stock GNOME and is terrible UX.
I think Valve's ineptitude in regards to CS:GO becomes easier to explain when considering their history with Counter Strike.

The game that became 1.6 wasn't even their game. It was a mod for the original Half Life and they hired the modders after it got popular.

Then CS:Source came around the same time HL2 did. That is to say it exists only because HL2 did, and Source is just HL2 with guns (lol). It was very divisive in the pro scene and the majority of professional players rejected it.

GO's history is even worse. It wasn't even meant to exist at first; Hidden Path were porting CS:Source to consoles and Valve decided that it could live as its own game. They release it in 2012 and, by all accounts, it sucks. Nobody plays it. Things begin to change when they create a virtual economy (skins) and admittedly do actually improve the game a fair bit. It's only when the game sees those improvements (2013-14?) that the pro scene finally moves from 1.6 to GO.

So the situation in 2021: The most popular game on Steam is a game which, according to Valve themselves, shares 75-85% of its code with a game released almost 20 years ago (Half Life 2), and which everybody knows is a complete and utter mess under the hood (thanks in part due to the source code getting leaked, also thanks to ex-devs sharing their stories of their time working on CS:GO). This along with Valve being notorious for just not having the internal incentive structures to get bugs fixed (hence GO's spaghetti code)... it's easier to understand (but not excuse!) Valve's attitude for serious security flaws like these.

I am similar to you in that I have about 1000 hours in CS:GO, and I've spent many 1000s of hours watching the pro scene. I love Counter Strike, but with Valve the way it is, I don't see how these fundamental flaws will ever get fixed. Look at how they're allowing Valorant to decimate the North American CS scene, just like they allowed Overwatch to take from TF2's player base back in 2016.
I'm unfortunately not surprised - there is a strange "intellectual dark web" bent among the HN crowd, despite it being transparently pseudo-intellectual garbage.
My hp omen is pretty bad ass, check them out - has most of all that - no metal case though sadly..
Pretty fair take. I think their marketing line of "It's more fun than Fortnite!" is like.. way off the mark. There's no overlap of the the Venn diagram of Fornite players and the market for this bike.
Not developing features that pretend secure remote computation is a real thing.
If you discover that a machine works differently from the way those operating the machine have been telling you, then asking them to accurately describe the operation and justify their actions in that context is quite rightly described as a call to honesty.

It would only be begging the question if we were assuming MMT correctly describes how currency works, but that’s a provable from officially published sources; a fact rather than an assumption.
In what climate wouldn't it be?

But we don't know if it does. It sounds like a kind of thing that does almost nothing on its own and becomes irrelevant the moment a halfway decent solution is found.
um, yes, it could be easier. It could sync across devices automatically...
You have given me no reason to believe you are the author, but if you are, I think you may have given away a key piece of information that is unsurprisingly absent from the article.

>Only options are to either shine a bright light on your face or something for it to see you

So what this is really measuring is the percentage of students who try to get out of taking the test by turning off most of the lights in their room and telling the teacher the computer wouldn't let them take the test. I would love to hear what the company that designed the test has to say about its performance. I doubt it failed to recognize faces when they tested it in proper lighting as just detecting that a face is present is extremely easy for a computer to do.
Even in the example you describe, there is an interesting question: how much of that money that you pay to Amazon for those goods ends up in the pockets of those people who fulfilled your order, and how much ends up in the pockets of Jeff Bezos? And how does it affect the quality of the service that you get?
In addition to the various Google pages telling the user to install Chrome, it's also sometime bundled in the installer of other free (as in beer) software, with the default option installing chrome and setting it as default web browser.

And chrome OS come bundled with chrome too.
I think emacs is a good example of a terminal program (not really command line) that made a good success out of becoming more gui and I think it shows a lot of the limitations of the terminal emulators. In a gui you easily get all the colours and not many weird duplicate keyboard shortcuts (exceptions are eg TAB vs C-i and M- vs ESC). You can have images and clicking and middle click paste and multiple fonts and some OS integration. But the interface still remains a fundamentally mutable text-based thing.

The post shows exactly what the title claims, Just because it is a opinion you/I may not agree with should not be reason for something to be labelled click baity ? The data presented is factual and gives all the evidences for its claim, not sure how this is click baity ?

The problem here is Apple cannot assume sole responsibility for policing and take a 30% cut, not allow anyone else to do a try and do better job and claim user safety is why they do all this and then even fail in any % of cases. people only care how many crimes are happening now, saying the policing has prevented so many other crimes is little help to all the people being cheated now.

Users were defrauded of $5/M +, Apple made 1.5M from this app. How has apple corrected this ? . A app claiming to show your pulse is not just financial scam, it is medical risk. Lives are at risk here. If Apple earning $1.5M from a fraud is unable protect its users from this kind of app, or come out and say what went wrong and how they are improving the system and actually doing it.

Why should I as user believe them ? Why should I not reasonably assume actions and financial structure for the Apple App store will do some basic checks inconsistently and get away with it if they can ?

I believe most of this can be emulated nicely by using lens ST maps to assign custom camera ray directions for each pixel.

Their demo seems to also offset the camera ray source a bit, so one would need another ST map for that. But all in all, this looks like someone could code a V-Ray plugin to implement it in a weekend.

I'd be truly interested to learn how this works out for them, business-wise. I don't think they can patent lens distortion and I don't think the implementation is difficult enough to protect against copycats. So how do they win the competition?

It's part of the guidelines put together for the media based on studies for reporting about suicide to include resources.

Terrorism always involves an attack on civilians. An attack on a military facility could be an act of war, but never terrorism.
Thanks for summarizing his key points. For someone who hasn't read any of Hawkins' work, what you wrote helps me frame the conversation a lot better. Reminds me of Marvin Minsky's book "Society of Mind", where he talked about intelligence as being composed of lots of little agents, each with their own task.
The problem I have is the sense "you're only allowed to ask for progress or give direction if you code it".

Maybe you're eg a UI/UX expert, you can help plan the direction for a project, feedback the changes needed and why, help make the project a success but just aren't competent enough to code those changes. Sure, no-one owes you their FOSS work, but it seems like we lose something if the only input allowed is from people able to do the coding.

Of course you might also just be a user. If you pay it forward, do you get to make a feature request?? If I don't code it myself ... maybe I should stop being a user if I can't contribute code?

Demanding work for free, and offering suggestions for improvements can be seen as synonymous, but they can actually be vastly different.

Projects I use heavily, like Ubuntu, I try to make myself useful offering advice on forums. That's not putting "money" in the bank of any coders but seems like it's in the spirit of FOSS - contributing what we can to create a better system.

There's always someone ready to exploit others.

This was what I posted in this post about the European Medicines Agency acknowledging the AstraZeneca vaccine (which I was inoculated with) was linked to something never seen before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26725232

> "Zero surprises here. Both Norwegian and German research teams identified the /actual specific novel antibody/ that causes this /new previously unclassified syndrome/ that was effectively unheard of before the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine existed. Also, both teams are phenomenally talented for identifying this antibody so quickly. Usually it is on “finding a needle in a haystack” level difficulty. BTW, I am probably going to get downvoted but I am definitely not an antivaxxer and I received the AZ vaccine as innoculation for COVID-19."
Is my understanding correct, that this is not for 3D view of single models (like in CAD applications), but rather geared towards landscape views with high view angles >90° (in games most notably)?

I see the former just as a subset of the latter.

ie Twitter is huge, but there are sub-communities that exist within it (some well managed, others not so much), and Twitter is building community features to that point.

Twitter can certainly do a better job of moderating its sub-communities, taking into account shared values and context, but I still don't see how the solution is to have users deal with content moderation.

That is the problem - large loss of life within a short sustained period does not bode well for US public support today.

The lopsided Iraqi war which only resulted in 214 coalition casualties during the 30 day invasion phase would not be a repeat.

“They think” is the key word here. It’s usually informed by woefully misinformed understandings of history and science. That’s what makes it “gumption-based” rather than “evidence-based.” This is what differentiates the reactionary from the conservative.

I bought a house before and attended a number of open houses. I signed my name on a sheet but was not asked to present ID. In some cases (I guess where the realtor figured I wasn't going to buy? Not sure) they just let me walk around and paid no attention to me at all.
It's worse than that. They are literally rolling out misinformation--lies, really--to try to convince people to not get vaccinated. Comment history on the topic of COVID is littered with trollish behavior and bonkers-bad reasoning fitting a pattern.
No, it's not a confirmation. Experts have a tighter distribution of self-assessment - when they miss, they miss by less. However, non-experts and experts alike overrate and underrate their competency with about equal frequency.

Because of ceiling and floor effects (it's hard to massively underrate yourself when you're already in the bottom decile of actual competency, and vice versa), non-experts have a mean self-assessment higher than their actual competency, but that doesn't mean that non-experts as a group tend to overrate themselves.
> Apparently Denmark has included aspiration in their directions for usage of the AZ vaccine.

Great, so not only will I have to wait 2-3 months to get vaccinated..

They'll also stick the needle in and pull out a few times just to sure I'm really feeling it!!!

Sorry, but I really hate needles :/
Interesting to see the differences in the German cities.

Seems that the smaller the city, the lower the suicide rate.
I agree but only because about 5% of the vaccines currently distributed are J&J in the USA. The others will more than make up for it I'm sure. I think when we hit the wall and the supply outstrips the demand in the next few weeks as we approach 60-65% vaccinated and qanon and hippy antivaxxers are unwilling, I bet in month there will be so many open spots that they'll start cutting back manufacturing unless Biden convinces Moderna and Pfizer to keep going full speed ahead and we say distribute to Mexico/Central America/South American countries (like we ought to do).
People don't think like that.
Uh, I gave up reading from here:
"On an iPhone, an app can’t run in the background, watch what you do, and steal your bank details, because the move to a sandboxed model means applications can’t run in the background and watch what you do."

Maybe that applies to iPhones but Android certainly allows it.
Yeah but Coinbase has trend behind them. Who cares about others when nobody talks? Nikola as an ENTIRELY fake company made it to billions of valuation and stayed there for months while everyone could easily prove it! with help of media too! So when valuing big companies just with revenue and calculations is bit wrong and misses trends and such, especially recently. This market is irrational and bit of scam too.

A young woman recently died in a fall on our local ski mountain. I think it was technically off piste, but in an area that is avalanche controlled and easily accessed from the lifts.

My kids have been skiing since they were 5, and my oldest is rapidly approaching that wonderful time of risk taking and impulsive behavior known as adolescence. So I worry about them now, instead of myself. But I have to give them the opportunity. Life is short, no matter what, and there are no guarantees. What are we here for, anyway?
The Surface Laptop 3 supports it as well. The proprietary Surface connector needs to go away. I've had Surface devices for years, so I have plenty of the chargers around - and I hate them. They fall out, they break, they die. My Surface Dock lasted less than a year before its connector wouldn't connect again.

I'm disappointed they've still stuck with it. I'd MUCH rather have another USB-C port on the other side so I could charge it from either direction. I carry around a USB-C charger that charges all of my devices. I never want to have to carry around a proprietary brick again.
