I was reading this essay nodding, until the revelation: the author isn't Christian at all. He's raised in Judaism. My knowledge of religion (despite being born and raised in a Catholic country) is entirely intuitive, but Judaism and Christianity seem pretty different religions, and the Old and New Testament contain different teachings and a different worldview. At the very least it could be lexical sloppiness (Christianity as a catch-all term for the three Abrahamic religions, since he mentions mosques too at some point). Curious.

I guess this confusion between Christianity and Judaism is pretty typical of American culture. For example, this is an interesting article from the Jerusalem Post about the progressive Judaization of US's Pentecostals:

When I read about the grading companies, it makes me wonder about processes that could be improved and how I would go about it. It says they hired efficiency experts ; it would be interesting to hear from them.

I’m more into buying comics (for reading, not profit) but there is a book coming out called Overstreet Guide to Grading Comics that sounds interesting. (Overstreet also publishes a famous annual price guide for comics.)

The craze for buying new cards makes me think of a cautionary tale. In the 90s certain old, rare issues were going for tens of thousands (current day, a few can go for millions). People started buying new comics thinking those would be worth something someday too. Customers, comics, stores, all expanded greatly before collapsing. Because the companies were printing and selling millions of copies they were not rare at all! https://comicbooked.com/comic-book/

So the important thing is, are they printing more and more cards to meet demand? (I actually don’t know; do any of you know?) If so, there’s going to be a collapse.

Actually the article pointed out how massively the production of graded cards is increasing, so there you have it. If those are new cards getting graded, I guess that will collapse at least.

Well, the word "politics" has various connotations in general usage, and many of them don't describe the phenomenon I'm talking about.

What I'm talking about is a cynical attempt at elevating one's zero-sum standing in a social group by showing conspicuous adherence to the group's purported moral orthodoxy.

This[1] is good reading on the phenomenon.

Obviously her situation is unique. Although it may fall under the umbrella of some DSM definition, but the meaning there is only for a medical perspective and not "a human perspective". We cannot be reduced to some statistical artefact. We may statistically significantly share some common traits with other people, but it doesn't make us the set of these common traits.

The model is not reality especially so for the DSM, which was built in a medically theraputic context. And should be taken as such.

I never liked TED talks.

I attended one TED back when they were super exclusive, because they were super exclusive. The good lesson: super exclusive for the sake of it a waste of time.*

TED talks were pretty much of the “I am doing this cool thing and isn’t it so exciting?” That actually does sound pretty cool: the world is full of exciting things I’ve never heard of or have heard of but never appreciated.

The reality, both in the old TED and the new: the talks are almost all structured in the same mode: “you are smart for listening to this info that other people don’t appreciate.” Validating the listener for spending their time listening.

If I wanted that I’d go on a walk with my dog. Which I do instead.

* things can be exclusive just because there’s finite space and you want to have people who contribute (e.g don’t invite me to a medievalists convention; I’ll have fun but won’t add to the discussion). This works if it’s not self-congratulatory and if people pro actively mix it up over time to bring in new ppl.

I like how they started laying out definitions and "theory", and then just repeated the title for 5-6 paragraphs.

I'm sure this wisdom is coming from ages of experience, and everyone respects this guy, but an outsider would have zero reason to adopt this other than "huh, that's sensible".

I think it's intuitively obvious and needs reinforcing, but obviously market isn't the "only" thing that matters. You do need a reasonably competent team and a reasonably workable product and all that requires a huge non-zero effort and a lot of wins.

`make install && make test` is about 15-20 seconds on a decent machine.

I have gained the impression that YouTube has two distinct techniques within Content ID, one for claiming melodies, and another for claiming specific recordings.

I’m absolutely confident that this is doing melody matching: these recordings are trivially distinguishable from any professional performance, with completely different instruments and playing styles, and with much lower quality singing.

For example, the most repeated claim was by “AdRev Publishing”, claiming “Crimond (The Lord's My Shepherd) - FirstCom” three times. (That song was also claimed once by “Capitol CMG Publishing and Adorando Brazil” as “The Lord's My Shepherd I'll Not Want”.) The first two times, I was accompanying with a piano-sound keyboard in the traditional four-part harmony—admittedly they sound fairly similar to one another; but in the third, an Indian was playing, using a piano-and-strings sound on a different keyboard, using Indian harmonisation (which is quite different).

I think we even had an unaccompanied song claimed once, matching throwaway0b1’s report.

These are completely different performances from whatever recordings the liars may have provided to the Content ID system. The melody is the only thing they will have in common.

I was under the impression that Blender at the big studio level was still pretty niche? (E.g., when a studio switches, it’s still a news story.) If you’re aware of places Blender is being used that generate a lot of profit, I’d love to hear about them.

I was under the impression it had more to do with symbiotic relationships between products. E.g., people using Unreal need modeling software (Epic is a sponsor), people using modeling software need GPUs (Nvidia is a sponsor).

Perhaps you're not a visual person. Words are great, but attention is finite and conveying meaning and nuance solely using the written word is hard (see Hacker News comments generally - mine included!). Pictograms, diagrams and even emoji's if used well can convey more with less. This site is perhaps a bit over the top, but (at time of writing) 1/4 of the comments are positive, so it's clearly of value to some (one is questioning the validity of UX, the other is just an opinion).

I am all for theories as particular domains that people write papers about.

The "paradigmatic" social sciences monograph (say Durkheis On Suicide or Vaughn on the Space Shuttle) typically leads the reader through several interpretations of the situation.

Consider "crime in your neighborhood" which includes a small-time Bernhard Madoff, teens who vandalize construction sites and abandoned buildings, others who puff weed, an ethnic restaurant that hires 20 "undocumented" workers, etc. It doesn't fit into a master narrative.

But what is truth?

Vaugn's space shuttle book not only draws the wrong conclusion, but term "normalization of deviance" which has been popularized by it is widely misinterpreted.

Ralph Nader would have said the Space Shuttle was "unsafe at any speed" to begin with: particularly, every other manned space vehicle ever has had the crew vehicle at the top of the spacecraft and equipped with an emergency escape system.

The 1970s design was expected to kill the crew on about 3% of the launches and it just about turned out that way.

Vaughn accepts this design as a given and describes the bureaucracy that manages that reality (out of 700 "unacceptable" flaws in the system have a plan to manage each one.) Thus "normalization of deviance" is a formal process of management, opposed to the informal process that describes activities such as

* the doctor bursting into the surgical theater without washing his hands not getting challenged because of social deference

* drinking alcohol at work (the person who drinks alcohol at work knows somebody else who drinks alcohol at work...)

* people not going to church

and I meant that "deviance" is defined in terms of what somebody things is deviant or not and if somebody thinks it is important that you go to church they could see that as a "bad" behavior like sticking chewing gum in public spaces.

Since people don't agree on norms, they don't agree on deviance, they disagree enough that theory about people hides more than it reveals.

For instace, when I hear about the "wait for a second cookie" experiments I can only think today of the diabetic/obesity epidemic and not see in any moral superiority behind that greed.
A lot of academics and scientists I know dislike TED talks. First the name means (T)echnology, (E)ntertainment, and (D)esign -- which are all proximal to, but quite different from, actual science. If anything, it turns science into consumer products, and gloms it with self-help and entertainment in a quasi-megachurch format (hint: "innovation" is the savior; and everything is cast as innovation, esp. technological). Second, it induces a race to the bottom in terms of simplification and overselling conclusion / significance (compare with the perspective that knowledge production requires deep backgrounds to truly understand, and that the results of most experiments / analyses / models of the real world are fairly nuanced). Third, the stuff that comes from their franchising (TEDx) contains some real garbage.

Ask HN: Alternative to Virtualbox on M1 Macs?
Based on https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98742, it seems that Virtualbox will not work on an ARM host computer, no plans to port it. Since I heavily rely on the pack Vagrant + Virtualbox to do development on my current MBP, what alternatives do you propose?

My current setup is: I use Vagrant to spawn a couple of VMs and inside them I run Docker containers.

The way the issue is worded is not how things work in the civilised world.

The affected parties have first to prove or at least argue that the software is doing anything illegal. The repository owners were using a documented, public, authenticated, third party API that was only taken down after the issue was posted. This is not illegal.

If there were anything illegal like piracy happening, it should have been resolved is by having the affected parties send a DMCA to GitHub, just like in the YouTube-dl situation, just like the repo owner asked Daniel J. Rey to do.

This is how it's done. Not by sending lies ("illegally using our private API" that was actually publicly documented) and making mafia-like threats ("will physically find you").

I'm like you and use the qemu command line. But libvirt does make it easier to define cpu groups, thread affinities and the like and without needing to be root to do so. Something like this. There are other ways to accomplish this I think without libvirt, but it gets a little hairy.

FS isn't hard to implement, you scale by integer factor and scale down the buffer to fit the screen.

This is literally how masOS does it. And they've basically pioneered the concept of scaling for high DPI screen when they introduce Retina.
The latency of your CI process doesn't matter[1].

What matters is the development process - local build & test should be fast.

Otherwise, with CI/CD, it's a continually-moving release train where changes get pushed, built, tested, and deployed non-stop and automatically without human intervention. Once you remove humans from the process, and you have guard rails (quality) built into the process, it doesn't matter if your release process for a single change takes 1min, 1hour, or 1day.

Even if it takes 1 day to release commit A, that's OK b/c 10min later commit B has been released (because it was pushed 10min after commit A).

I've seen pipelines that take 2 weeks to complete because they are deploying to regions all over the world - the first region deploys within an hour, and the next 2weeks are spent serially (and automatically) rolling out to the remaining regions at a measured pace.

If any deployment fails (either directly, or indirectly as measured by metrics) then it's rolled back and the pipeline is stopped until the issue is fixed.

[1] Yes, even for fixing production issues. You should have a fast rollback process for fixing bad pushes and not rely on pushing new patches.

> Lately I have been feeling like the economy just broke on a fundamental level over the past year.

There is something seriously broken for years now: unsustainably low interest rates drive a lot of money in desperate search for the most minuscule interest rates.

Venture capital in institutional form beyond former founders who got rich and want to return the favor would not exist - certainly not millions of dollars for a company called Yo. Real estate prices both for buy and rent worldwide are only affordable for those who are mega-rich as investors are the only ones who can put up the cash, and it's beginning to go the same way in agricultural land. Stock prices, despite a disastrous raging pandemic, are at all-time highs.

It's madness.

> I think it’s a fair philosophical choice. Fractional scaling is really hard. macOS doesn’t bother, choosing instead to render at an integer scale factor and downsample. Doing something similar on Linux would be hard, for mostly historical reasons.

What macOS does is the cleanest and most correct way to fractionally scale in my book.

Why would it be hard on Linux? You just blit the buffer at whatever resolution you want.
At this point it doesn't take much capital to pump anything up. I think the vast majority of early NFT adopters were just colluding with one another.

The old product promotion tactics don't work anymore. Creating hype via social network is the new model that works much better.
A lot of the drag on CI for complex projects is tests, which are hard to argue against. Complexity : need for tests isn't linear -- once you hit some critical mass of complexity where one person can't know the whole application, the need for tests skyrockets.

I joined a company last year that's trying to solve this [1] by tracing tests so it can skip any whose dependencies (functions, environment variables, etc.) haven't changed. It's amazing what "what if we don't run tests we know will pass?" can do to a CI pipeline.

I've setup multiple CI systems and it really depends on what you need to test. A long time ago I built a CI for a team that ran end to end integration tests and collected code coverage from each service running. This took between 4 minutes and 10 minutes to run for our 3 to 6 services. Another job I worked at I setup a git repo + CI for a team of about 15ish people. In the beginning we had no CI, then I containerized everything and the CI took at long time (~20 minutes). Then, I switched to a build/test system that was more in tune with what we needed and I ultimately (through some hacks) got the entire CI time for ~20ish microservices down to <1 minute since I was caching everything that wasn't changed with Bazel. After that I added in a stage where I collected code coverage from all 20 of those services which was much slower since Bazel had a hard time understanding how to cache that for some reason. This brought it back up to 4ish minutes.

The main blockers I've seen to CI performance is:

1. Caching: Most build systems are intended to run on a developers laptop and do not cache things correctly. Because of this most CIs completely chuck all of your state out of the window. The only CI that I've found that lets you work around this is Gitlab CI (this is my secret for getting <1 min build/test CI pipeline)

2. What you do in CI: If you want to run end-to-end integration tests, it's going to be slow. Any time you're accessing a disk, accessing the network, anything that doesn't touch memory, it's slow. Make sure your unit tests are written to use Mocks/Fakes/Stubs instead of real implementations of DBs like sqlite or postgres or something.

3. The usage pattern: If you don't have developers utilizing your CI machines 100% of the time you are "wasting" those resources. People will often say "lets autoscale these nodes" and, when you do, you'll notice they scale down to 1 node when everyone is asleep, everyone starts work and pushes code, then the CI grinds to a halt. You can make a very inefficient CI just by having the correct number of runners available at the correct time.

Another thing to consider: anything you can make asynchronous doesn't need to be fast. If you setup a bot to automatically rebase and merge your code after code review then you don't really need to think about how fast the CI is.
