Jokes aside, I think niche software like this is everything HN is about (at least to me). I have no knowledge of MRIs, beyond getting on last year, but seeing this had made me start to research how I would get my brain data back from the NHS to play around with it and see what idiocy I can get up to.

That was a wild ride.
> An open source infrastructure for a centralized network now provides almost the same level of control as federated protocols, without giving up the ability to adapt. If a centralized provider with an open source infrastructure ever makes horrible changes, those that disagree have the software they need to run their own alternative instead. It may not be as beautiful as federation, but at this point it seems that it will have to do.

Fat shaming and discrimination are objectively bad. But they aren't a product of a society that has failed us. They're a product of our innate animal inclinations to favor the strongest and fittest. As long as we are a resource and food-rich society, nothing is going to change that.

Edit: On second thought, society has utterly failed us. We've curated a diet of processed foods full fats, sugars, and poisons that stack the cards against anyone who is not genetically or socioeconomically favored. They compare trying to stop obesity to getting rid of yellow teeth to rid yourself of lung cancer. Trying to get people to stop fat shaming while ignoring our diets is exactly that.

Funny that we have certain collective nouns that don't cross meat types.

-- Fish sticks

-- Chicken nuggets or fingers

-- Shrimp poppers

And beef / pork don't seem to ever fall into those. (pork sticks?? Beef nuggets??)

Maybe because beef, pork seem worthy of preserving identity as a piece of a distinguishable reputable whole parent, while fish, chicken, are sometimes almost.... um, extruded and need a noun of their own after such process?
Would it be better just to solve that by putting up stops on both sides of the reserve's border?

Android Studio deliver the full experience of android development!:

- Is slow

- It have a slower emulator

- But, not as slow as it UI builder! Being so useless you learn to do things with code instead!

- And also 2 different ways to do gradle builds, now with Kotlin!

- It have gradle, the #1 build manager! (when you do sorted().reversed())

- Is the same experience you have know for years! But with more and more features! That you hope will work for real this time!

It have a nice icon!

Name magic.

To know a thing's name is to have power over it.

From ancient mythos to modern specialists and especially philosophy, naming things gets a whole lot of focus. It does because it is terrifically useful! Naming, separating, making distinctions, this is an essential part of understanding.

However a whole lot of these kinds of debates don't acknowledge what kind of a debate they are actually happening. Is the subject of debate the limits of where a definition matches and were it doesn't? Is it whether the subject fits within already agreed limits? Is it really about an unspoken assumption that differs between the parties arguing? Many also don't address the quality of the definition. Is it a useful definition that represents defensible differences between "has this name" and "doesn't have this name" or is it an entirely arbitrary classification (say, look at the color spectrum and define areas which are red and which are orange; now zoom in on a boundary between the two, is there any defensible reason why the border should not be moved slightly to add one color to red? No, probably not)

> I've actually read some debates between linguistics that are quite passionately debating whether something is an allophone of the same phoneme

In this example are they really arguing about the something in question or are they arguing about the definition of "allophone" without realizing it. The followup question is "what is the reason why this edge case is relevant?" and "if this edge case isn't relevant, is the term 'allophone' even useful?"

This might just be different customs of language usage. But to me, if you say "This is a subset of That", you are saying "every case of This is also a case of That". I suppose you are using it to mean "That does not imply This", and honestly I don't think seen it used that way elsewhere.

The blockchain always runs under social consensus. It is here for people not machines. Code isnt law, never has been, never will be. Because it would be insane to live in that world.

When bitcoin accidentally overflowed and created 184billion bitcoin, it was forked away a few hours later because that isn't what the majority agreed upon. Same with ethereum, the majority decided something and it becomes the agreed state, as it does with every block. Its strange we still have to explain this 5 years later.

This maps pretty closely to my own experiences with android development. So many seemingly basic tasks that would've been a breeze in Cocoa Touch under iOS 6, probably even without third party libraries, are weirdly difficult with modern day Android Framework.

You can get very close, I had an ad on Facebook the other day with transliterations of hindi/urdu words on it. When I clicked to see why, Facebook thought I was interested in a Pakistani newspaper (I think I'd read some articles on it on my phone, I guess the trackers picked that up). I guarantee you 99% of readers of the newspaper where I am (or probably anywhere) are of Pakistani descent. The ad wasn't telling me my race/national origin, but it was clear Facebook knew.

Also, not everyone can just get a nose job and be attractive magically.

I think many people in the incel community don't understand how far showering, dressing well, and working out will get them. Its much better than complaining without any action. Also, I see many of them complaining about not dating "10s" yet never bother to look at people at their level.

Thanks for sharing the findings of your quick research. Depression score is indeed not exactly the same as happiness, or life satisfaction, but for the purpose of our conversation I would say they are all close enough to what matter to us, so they are all sufficiently meaningful (and probably very correlated to each other).

Eyeballing the paper you cited, there appears to be evidence that widowed and divorced people are more depressed, but not single people (compared to the baseline, married people). At least when running the regression with all the other important variables controlled. Am I reading it wrong?
I really like #1. There's a good quote I've been focusing on recently - "people tend to overestimate what they can accomplish in a day, and underestimate what they can accomplish in a year."
Kinda neat. Splits the big problem of consensus into ordering and replication, and then leans on a network device like a switch to 'solve' the ordering problem in the context of a single data center. The key observation is that all those packets are going through the switch anyways, and the switch has enough spare compute to maintain a counter and add it as a header to packets, and it can easily be dynamically programmed with SDN...

I bet public clouds could offer this as a specialized 'ordered multicast vnet' infrastructure primitive to build intra-dc replicated systems on top of.
Forth on the J1 – The CPU was designed to run Forth programs efficiently
“ About the J1

The J1 is a simple 16-bit CPU. It has some RAM, a program counter (PC), a data stack and a call/return stack. It has a small set of built-in arithmetic instructions. Fields in the J1 instructions control the arithmetic function, and write the results back to the data stacks”
Realistically, this is having friends over while playing a game and tv/music on in the background. It really isn't all that out of the ordinary, and something we've done for quite some time. Heck, we did a version of this while getting very, very stoned and playing a PS1. None of it requires a lot of attention: You can rewatch/relisten to folks on youtube. Games don't need a lot of sounds, and if you die, you can restart. Friends will repeat if asked.

After seeing how well it works, I don’t know why I would buy a $600 console or $1000 gaming PC anymore.
Sounds like a very Open-Source approach. Ignore the documentation, ignore the tutorials, grab the Repo of a working project close to what you want and read the code, until you can modify it.
I have a very good friend from Flanders. His partner is from wallonia. He told me that the word 'poopen' is nl slang in one community for 'to have sex with' and 'to defecate' in the other. This caused much hilarity.
Hah.

Not if you take into account people having sex with large age disparities.
I imagine it's a mix of:

a) people are different. some people can grind more than others

b) passion makes the grind easy. people passionate about a project can go harder longer, but expecting everyone to be passionate about their job is not healthy. this passion may appear or disappear depending on your task

As to how to fix it I have no clue. That's hard.

This. So much this.

At my company, we give out "values awards". People are frequently lauded for working late evenings and weekends. Everytime this happens, I cringe. If people feel they need to do this, it's a sign that projects were under-resourced or the deadlines were too tight.

At this point in my career, I am so much more comfortable saying "no" to upper management.

Time was that the term AI meant what has now come to be referred to as AGI or machine consciousness. Marvin Minksy wasn't looking to make better facial recognition, or better factory robots. His research was about making a mind.

Twenty years ago, that kind of work ran into a brick wall. But neural networks were still useful. Enter Machine Learning, and it borrowing the term "AI." But Artificial Intelligence, for many, always meant the dream of building R. Daneel Olivaw, or R2D2.
I doubt that he does that. I suspect his doge holding is modest and for fun and not something he is hoping to make much dough with.

Similar to how he memes without direct profit all the time and how he is mining at loss just as a fun home project.
> In the past, it was the failure of AI research to deliver business impact.

That's not quite right - the problem wasn't that no impact was delivered, but that it over-promised and under-delivered. I'm fairly optimistic of some of the machine learning impact (even some we've seen already) but it's by not means certain that business interest won't turn again. We are very much still in the honeymoon phase currently.

To be clear, this paper is referring to non-decentralized (highly-consistent I assume) consensus algorithms where the goal is to operate a cluster of machines as one logical system. You use this, for instance, to maintain high uptime in the face of individual machines going down.

I suspect you were reacting to decentralized consensus (blockchains) which is a pretty different space.

>> Again and again, people just refuse to accept that cognitive performance has very clear limits, and that multitasking, skipped breaks and long hours are, at best, a total waste of time

These studies are non-ergodic. I work best under long hours; have tried both. The real proof in the pudding is the fact that many of my competitors work "efficient" work weeks and get buried under the onslaught of hours I work.

For surgical things like programming and software development, I'll readily admit that working 80 hours/week is not ideal. But for management and a wide-ranging entrepreneur, I strongly suspect the opposite is true.

Because people with money don't care how many humans they burn through while building their empire. In the short term there are productivity improvements to be had, and long term the burned out components of the big machine just get replaced.

> For myself, these hard statistical realities have increasingly robbed me of the romantic impulse. Marriage to me now seems absurd. An empty, pyrrhic victory.

I don't follow why that is. Just because the world's fucked up doesn't mean exclusive devotion to another person doesn't have its romantic appeal.

There was some philosopher I was reading about the other day who posited that the "free love" crowd weren't really free because they were slaves to whims and circumstance. A truly free person, as I gather, is one who decides and acts independently of personal feelings and circumstance.

Ergo, if you don't want to give yourself to your partner, do it anyway. Not out of external obligation, but out of the commitment you decided to make to them. In that perspective, committing to lifelong unconditional love is one of the few victories we have over being mechanical cogs in a sensational machine.

What makes this even better, though, is when you're loving someone unconditionally, it's usually hard for them not to return some of that love sooner or later. So you build a gradual virtuous cycle. Someone's just gotta make the first move.

I don't mean to be glib, but, are you saying women who are in a poor state are desirable? I don't think so... Is it bad that women don't find some men attractive, when those same men probably wouldn't find some women attractive?

I apologize if that misconstrues your opinion, but I've heard it elsewhere before: that somehow women 'should' be more forgiving of unattractiveness than men are, and that's really weird to me. Women don't owe it to any men to find them desirable, and vice-versa.
The problem imho is that most places want to shed the freed labor rather than redistribute the load. Just slowing hiring a little adds burden.
