Hello, and welcome to Hacker News! Glad to see you here, and thank you for taking the time to respond!

I hope I didn't come off badly there; I'm good at nitpicking, but that's small potatoes compared to taking the time to write out a full blog post.

Simplifications were perfectly understandable given the subject matter, but I think that care should be taken to try to minimize the potential for future confusion. The force/velocity-related stuff in particular I think is important to get right, since those are foundational to understanding the physics. Much of the rest, I think is understandable and a good place to start.

Thanks again, and hope you keep writing!
Yeah, I gave up at changing the minified JavaScript, and would still prefer a saner and official offline solution from the author.

But it's not a request, I doubt I'll ever use this because of my initial points. If it was a CLI tool that converted plain text input to image I'd consider trying it out.
Why do you want 32GB? With my 8GB m1 Mac mini I was surprised to get away with as little memory as I did. I felt that the M1 needs far less memory than x86 to feel snappy.
I use one of those GL.inet routers. It's been reliable for 1.5 years. I configured it to route all traffic through a proxy service (aka VPN). Most VPN clients fail open, which defeats the purpose of using a proxy for privacy. The GL.inet firmware has an option to fail-closed when the proxy connection is down.

I use a ZTE MF820B USB 4G LTE modem as a backup Internet connection. I configured the GL.inet router to talk to the modem on /dev/cdc-wdm0 and added my LTE service provider's APN hostname. With those two settings, it just works. I keep the LTE modem unplugged and on-hand for when my fiber (Webpass) goes down.

GL.inet is based in Hong Kong and is now under the control of the Chinese red party.
Doom running on an HP printer is interesting because it is clever and because being clever was reason enough to do it.

This isn’t clever. It is a string of tech buzzwords washed with green buzzwords. Or to put it another way nobody really cares how their house is built. The PHP of construction materials and methods is just as good for just about everyone because what mostly matters is location.

The advantage of materials is the ability to stockpile. Their higher degree of asynchronisity. It is possible to maintain an inventory of prefabricated components.

An on-site machine has vast temporal dependencies. And the most common word in construction might be “delayed”...at least it can feel that way at times.

And no place is more full of surprises than what is underground.
It's only facts after the action is made.

My understanding of Many Worlds is probably wrong then. I assumed that every outcome exists (every possible world in the — relative to you right now — past, present, and future), and that any particular outcome is only 'special' to the copy of you in that universe.
Most Bolshevik supporters would probably not have been willing to personally kill a landlord. Most Nazi supporters were uncomfortable with the idea of mass-murdering Jews - this is probably one of the reasons why Nazis tried to keep the death camps a secret as much as possible. In any case, I am referring to a psychological type. And sometimes there really is a slippery slope to watch out for.

Also: they do not just want me to stop using racial slurs. They also sometimes want me to deny, under penalty of social ostracism and financial ruin, what I think are rationally justified perceptions of reality.

And further: yes, in an absolute sense it does not make sense for me to fear hardcore wokists as much as Bolsheviks or Nazis. But my fear is, of course, relative to the actual threats that I face in life. Since I live in the US, wokists pose a much greater threat to me than Bolsheviks or Nazis do. Wokists have much more power in the US than either hardcore economic leftists or Nazis do.

It would take years for large amounts of manufacturing to be built up in the US, and I don’t know of anyone who thinks these issues will last that long. Add on to that how many more years it would take to recoup the investment, and I can’t see this making any change in investor’s thoughts towards US manufacturing.

TSMC advertises 5nm as +15% performance OR -30% power consumption. Either one of these won’t be enough to bridge the gap in mobile. Even throwing in another massive 20% IPC improvement wouldn’t do the trick.

On the flip side, once you go bigger the game changes. If you increase the M1 power consumption to amount for interconnects, more memory lanes, more IO, etc the M1 seems to offer worse power to performance that shouldn’t be too unexpected. ARM just announced they are splitting into V1 (performance above all) and N2 (best power, size, performance combo)
Calibre is my favourite product - been using it for more than a decade now. So happy to see it top the front page here.

Yup. Or use to trigger a logic analyzer.
> I maintained friendship with him for a few months after May, because I was convinced that it was all consensual and I didn’t want to “make a big scene” like he accused me of.

So for months, the victim herself was convinced it was consensual, but I, the reader, in the space of a few paragraphs, am supposed be convinced that it wasn't?

I mean, I've been a giant asshole to a couple ex-partners (read: I cheated), and they never got together to coordinate an attack "to ruin my life."

I could maybe, maybe believe a well-known political figure might be the target of that kind of coordinated attack. But basically a thousandth of a percent of the population has even heard of Jon Pretty. What benefit exists for the group of accusers? An extra spot for a presentation at a Scala conference?
I live in a rural area where the population is declining rapidly. There's plenty of land available for cheap, but actually building a house still very expensive. I think a cheaply built, single story structure on a large tract of land could work very well here, and could possibly help to sustain the local population and quality of life.

I agree we should be building denser to meet demand for housing in cities. But not everyone needs to live in a city.
So few tweaks would be needed to make Calibre actually user-friendly to the average consumer. Instead people here are falling over themselves in declaring their love for a weirdo UI. Just because it's unusual?

I see what you did there!

It's probably because the ecosystem is multi-threaded and there's lots of deadlocks and unprotected reads/writes...
Read that Amazon had a similar problem when they assigned deliveries based on proximity. People would crowd the gate, use GPS spoofers, etc.. Amazon changed their algorithm to weight everyone within 500m or so equally, and those problems went away.

Sounds like the delivery apps have an exploitable flaw, and are claiming that attempts to mitigate it are illegal.
I wonder if people said something similar about horses back in the 1850s New York: “At best we breed horses with that don’t leave as much manure on the streets”, DVDs in the early 2000s “at best we make better recycling facilities and our landfills won’t be full of plastic” or oil lamps in the 1840s “at best we will be able to find a plentiful hunting grounds where we’ll never run out of whale oil”.
KeyDB is a few % slower single threaded right now, but we have some cool announcements coming in that regard.

You're looking at the wrong resources if you don't think lowest cost is analogous to most efficient. Time, labor, etc. all take a back seat to the bottom line when retail goods are in play.

You're missing the point.

JPKab's point was that pursuing justice would be very costly to his brother (assuming that he didn't win). I can't see how pursuing justice is costly to your sister (my condolences!). There is a low chance of success in both of those pursuits.

Clearly the original crime is costly in both cases, much more so in the case of your sister!
Counterpoint: a friend of mine was violently raped a decade ago, and I went with her to the hospital the next morning to get an exam and a rape kit to make a complaint. The police both refused to process the rape kit, and threatened to press charges against her for making a false complaint for 'regretting rough sex'. And that was with full on torn genitals, with an exam, violent rape, in a major metropolitan area in the US.

We haven't come as far as you're making it out to be.

I actually regret convincing her to go to the hospital and the police as all it did was increase the amount of trauma she experienced.

Everyone has an accent.
I know it's probably not your intention, but you are shifting the blame from Jon to Yifan's parents. I hope this doesn't stay as the first comment in this thread.
A little hard to square this with the rushed and constrained nature of the 2020 census. It was politicized and tied up in court, which delayed the beginning. Covid made it more difficult to properly run the census. Undocumented immigrants faced a FUD campaign, and were intimidated against participation. Then, the deadline to finish was was again politicized, tied up in court, extended, retracted. Was the 2020 census accurate enough to draw this conclusion?
Haven't used it in a little bit, but from memory most of my flow for this was drag and drop. Drag the source onto Calibre, then drag that to the Kindle logo up top.
I have ~300-400 tabs open pretty much all the time, using The Mighty Suspender in Chrome. Works great, don't really have any desire to stream my browser from a remote server.

I'm mostly CPU limited actually, not RAM limited, RAM usage usually never goes over ~12GB out of 32GB available.

Past the ~450 tab mark CPU usage will skyrocket with even a single video call open however.
Piss off a superpower, and you'd be ASTOUNDED at how far backwards law enforcement will bend to take any complaint about you seriously.

Great insight. Thanks.
We are not seeing unhealthy amounts of core inflation. Relative price increases are not inflation because they’re relative. Real interest rates are still negative.

The intent is to get inflation to the average target of 2%, so it’s of course good if we see some.
Yes. I do not know why. As far as I can tell, it is completely useless process masturbation. I think that in my organization, the actually important communication about estimates happens through people talking in some level of detail about what is actually going on, not through points.
Anyone have the access to the PDF they cite? I don't have an account on AAAS https://science.sciencemag.org/content/372/6540/418
General PSA from someone who has studied such things:

1. Alcohol is the number one date rape drug and it's problematic in part because men tend to have a much higher tolerance than women.

2. Date rape frequently involves two people from different cultures with different social expectations. This often fosters terrible misunderstandings.

3. It's always problematic to "try a case" in the court of public opinion. Probably better to try to use a piece like this as a jumping off point for general discussion of the problem space and not an attempt to determine what "really" happened in this instance.

4. It's good to think about what women can do differently to try to protect themselves. Trying to talk about that is not, per se, blaming the victim anymore than it is blaming the victim to say "It's a bad neighborhood. Make sure you lock your car."

5. When someone is a habitual offender and genuinely a predator, their victim can do all the right things and still get assaulted.

6. Whether a woman did or did not do all the right things, a man choosing to assault her is still on him, just like you are still a thief even if someone failed to lock their car.

I’d really love a post that just analyzed this take.
>2-8% of rape complaints are false

Complaints is the key here. Obviously, we can't say much about the incidents that don't go reported. If one looks at the conviction rate for rape complaints it's around 2%. So if we take the lower estimate for false complaints, it still means that only 4% of cases are provable one way or the other, and that those which are have a 50/50 chance of being true or false complaints. (I'm looking at '92 stats, at a glance it appears the the rates for both rape and false rape convictions have risen a fair bit since then).

Interestingly, a 2% conviction rate is on par with that of robbery.

All of the sentences you give would be quite different if “can not” were replaced with “to be unable to”.
And require SIGNIFICANTLY different capital outlay. The comparison is useless.
I find these hit peaces extremely problematic.

The public doesn't have the tools to properly investigate the accusations.

It is impossible for anyone but the parties involved (and maybe not even them) to know what really happened.

This woman could have gone to the police.
She could have gone to one of the many support organisations for rape victims here in Berlin or in the US.
She could have gone to the police even years later, which would have opened the possiblity of an official investigation.
Instead she chooses to publicly write about it, without first even trying to take the legal route.
You could word it that way, but it's not actually correct. Check the man pages to see why. (Or read the other commenter's note which gives a brief explanation.)

> I don't think a newbie could even grok the difference between these three descriptions.

This part is definitely true - Git offers only a very light abstraction on top of its data structures.
No, because higher social class = access to better learning resources, e.g. tutors, and given everything else equal, better learning resources will lead to higher proficiency at a particular skill, on average. Therefore, if you do not know anything else about a group of candidates, hiring the person from the highest social class is the only rational choice. This study was doomed from the beginning.
Warmer tropical climates can support more population generally. More crops are possible, lesser infra required etc.

Suitable is a question of idealogy and choices , one is cultural and other is ecological.

Whether you are comfortable living in a 700sq foot apartment or you need a sprawling 10 acre property is really about culture, europe is okay with smaller cars, more public transport , dense cities , US is not .

Sustainable density really then, Looking at the crazy limits in the bay area is funny to me, but perhaps it is right for people here they don't want higher density housing.

Earth itself quite capable of supporting multiple ten of billions but it would come at the expense of reduced bio diviserty

Most people would think that is bad, but there is case that it isn't . Earth has gone through multiple extinction events before us, however this is chance for life to become multi planetary for the first time, for life itself it is probably worth the risk.

Theoretically ofcourse we all cooperate and work in sync, we could achieve that without destroying the planet. However we aren't wired that way , evolution is not efficient.

My wife told me something a while back about how girls are often taught from a young age to be "sweet" and to defer to adults who demand their affection. I can't remember if it's something she read or came to herself upon examination of her youth. I can see the way that this idea on boundaries can grow to adulthood to having difficulty strongly advocating for oneself. The philosophies you laid out resonate strongly with me, and as a first-time parent expecting a daughter soon, I hope I can correctly instill them in her.

Did you ever deal with an instance where your kids started telling you "no" in response to demands you felt were reasonable, twisting your original explanations to use against you, for things like eating, cleaning up or hygiene? How did you reconcile the difference?
you are decreasing your bill at the cost of your reliability. You are moving from offering the reliability of S3 to a single node reliability of your reverse proxy.

Maybe if u have the technological knowledge, start your own block storage using Rook/Ceph object storage on DO. This will reduce your bill even further, and if u know what u r doing, u can improve the reliability
You can definitely have a simple to use UI that still has all the same complex functionalities of an esoteric one. The more advanced features will just be more hidden away. To me, the only real advantage to an esoteric UI like calibre is the ability to do things faster and easier once you have learned it.

But honestly, for that i prefer a CLI.
Your opinion is valid regardless of your privilege. When it comes to discussing specific experiences that minorities face, however, you should defer to the experts in the area who have lived their entire lives being in the seat of discrimination. Hope that made sense.
Nonsense. Google is very large and you'll find situations like this in any large sample size. There's really not much more to be said; on the whole google works great for most people. Maybe this particular case has a legitimate grievance (in which case it's a false positive but many FPs exist at scale) or maybe they're opening up programmable interfaces in a way that was never going to fly with play store.
I think your framing is wrong. If you willingly give money to someone, they haven't defrauded you (there's no false pretense).
English text has about 1 bit of information per character. So there are about 2^64 different meaningful 64 character messages.
No, the SSDB cache can go offline and the app just reads from S3 directly. I appreciate everyone trying to suggest better ways to solve this, but know that I've gone through many solutions dual-writing in production, comparing latency and throughput on production loads, and this is the best so far.
Durkin's son, Sean Durkin, is a Hollywood Director/Producer/Writer. in 2020 he released The Nest starring Jude Law and Carrie Coon. It's based on Sean's life growing up in New York and the UK with his mother, father and half sister. Jude Law plays 'Rory' who is Tim Durkin. He's a lying, greedy, social climber with an insatiable lust for money, just like Tim. A typical sleezy, wannabe conman. Carrie Coon as 'Alison' plays Andrea Durkin very accurately. If you know these 2 (I do) the similarities to the characters and their lives are astonishing! I'm really hoping Sean brings out a sequel to cover 'The Ponzi Years' and the events detailed in Tori Marlan's 'The Man Who Stole a Hotel'. Even better would be if Netflix picked it up for a docuseries. It would rival the blockbuster "Making a Murderer", as there is so much more to this story that MUST come out!
