> And speaking of universal heuristic, in my experience, the quality and relevance of content is strongly inversely correlated with the quality of design. The prettiest websites out there are ones that deliver negative value. The best designed (according to modern trends) user interfaces are the ones with worst ergonomy, wasting user time the most.

This is just plain untrue, and seems to color your impression of email as well. See e.g. Delta vs Southwest (more polished look is more ergonomic site/app), or New Relic vs Datadog public-facing sites (indistinguishable in "quality" of the design, for competing products where IMO Datadog is better).

What are some examples that put the inverse correlation in your mind?
Showing that you were willing to pay but the price was too high seems like the worst way to handle ransomware. Comparatively, the hackers are running an excellent PR campaign, providing the police enough time to protect those at risk and providing early leaks of data likely to upset the public.
In that case they could easily adjust pricing to match each country and put a positive spin on it. Let people in Europe pay €5 a year, but tell them that they are finasing 5 users in Africa.

Good. It’s not like a concentration camp. There are other options if you don’t want to vaccinate.

You can just stay at home (I’ve been declined Schengen visa in the past for no reason), you can get PCR-tested. You also can get ill with Covid and then recover (hopefully).
Immobility may not be an obstacle for you anymore. The most competitive eng. positions are fully remote now by necessity, because the best people have come to demand it over the past year.
> is there something intrinsic to complex systems and the need for a reset?

As the number of possible states of the system explodes, and as you layer levels of abstraction onto each other, the probability that you somehow reach a state the designers didn't think about increases. Then you need to reset.

Add to that limited bits for representation of numbers, and people not thinking about what do to when one overflows (because this is really really hard in many cases), and you get to "better reset it every n days" scenario.

Same situation with healthcare. America spends double on it as a percent of GDP vs all other developed countries, yet with worse outcomes. The primary solution proposed by progressives to the health care problem is to spend more money. The same thing with homelessness. At some point there's a point of diminishing marginal returns on the effort expended as it becomes more about the people running the system than the people they're helping.

Victronix knives are relatively cheap and good. Cast iron (when well seasoned) is frigging awesome and will last for generations, cheap wood (bamboo) cutting boards are great and indestructable as long as you put some cutting board oil on them every couple months and wash with soap and water only (no DW), I love the cheap air fryer I bought. I love my 4 "cups" (20 oz) Mr. Coffee mini drip maker. Things don't have to be expensive, if you're willing to do a little reading on the internet. I suppose most of the HN crowd doesn't have to worry about budgeting for kitchen items though. I just take it as a challenge to be a frugal consumer. :) . I won't cheap out no drills, dremels, or power cutting tools though. Tend to go with brand name, middle of the road tools there. Which are great for hobbyists and probably last decades under hobby usage. Crockpots are also pretty cheap (including the crockpot brand :) )
In the article they talk about leaking the identities of informants and the background files of police officers (possibly saying where they live). I think this would be less of a "police reform" thing and more of a "a few criminal informants getting killed" thing.
Don’t you feel the need to set down roots of some kind? I would want a regular group of friends to see, a relationship, community… Doing something like this seems like it would prevent any kind of close relationships.
The last sentence is only true if you believe the Fed will actually sell back the assets. When I look at this chart, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL, I have very little confidence that the Fed will sell a meaningful portion back (notice the Fed already gave up BEFORE covid when we supposedly had one of the best economies in recent times). In fact, it looks to me that the assets held by the Fed are growing exponentially and definitely growing faster than our productivity growth.
Are you talking about Covid vaccines ?

Personally I'd just leave it as "root". I looked a bit at the current Gnome translation files as I was curious, and "root user" is translated as "root-gebruiker", and "Filesystem root" as "Bestandssysteem root".

Git doesn't have a Dutch translation, but it does have a German and "root" is translated as "Wurzelverzeichnis ("Wurzel" being root, and "verzeichnis" being directory). It does translate "root commit" as just "root commit" though. "Root nodes" are "Hauptwurzeln".

Technically it's correct, but as a Dutch/German speaker I'd find translating root in such a way surprising and confusing, even though it's a correct translation. Perhaps that's also because I'm so used to the English, but even as a Dutch or German user you'll likely find English documentation/help regardless, and having the same technical terms is useful there. Consistency is important, but generally speaking translating technical English terms too enthusiastically is probably more confusing than helpful.

Actually, I just remembered that "show threads" was translated as "draden tonen" (I can't find the current translation of this in GNOME, procps-ng leaves it as "threads" in the German translation).

I also noticed that "parent/child relationships between processes" in GNOME is translated as "Moeder/dochter-relatie tussen processen", which seems rather awkward to me, but leaving it as just "parent" and "child" doesn't seem great either.

Translating stuff is hard, and it gets harder the more technical it gets :-/ Something like an email client probably isn't too hard, but technical tools like process monitors? I don't envy the people working on that.

This is one aspect where newsgroups do better than email. But, unlike email, you need to establish peering arrangements with other NNTP servers (if you run your own). Wtih email, the MTA can rely on DNS MX records to route the message to the correct server.

In theory dependencies shouldn't matter, because normally only your own code goes through Babel; library code has typically already been transformed into least-common-denominator JavaScript

Most of these are pretty hard to do by accident... I didn't even know about maybe a third of these things, and I've been writing JavaScript for 10 years

A significant exception to all of the generalizations I've been making is iterableIsArray:

> When using an iterable object (in array destructuring, for-of or spreads), assume that it is an array.

Violating this one is neither an anti-pattern nor hard to do by accident. It would mean a significant shift in practices for a project, and it would have to allow for some really exceptional optimizations if I were going to even consider enabling it
> I hate facebook message threads because it is effectively impossible to have a conversation there because everything overlaps and I can't take the time to write something clear and in multiple paragraphs.

I've actually adopted some email like conventions when participating in Facebook comment threads. When I click the reply button, it will fill in the name of the author of the comment I'm replying to. I then will append "wrote:" to that line, add a line break, type a > character, and then paste the part of the comment they wrote that I plan to respond to. It almost looks like a quoted email message :)

> I wonder if the right solution is a private usenet server: just like email it is not instant but async, unlike email it is spilt into topics better and you can have new people catch up on threads easily.

With a private NNTP server, you will still need to set up accounts for others to use it. Though if multiple people run their own servers and set up the peering arrangements between then, then it could work without having to set up accounts fro multiple people.

But, the flexibility one can get with email in terms of organizing messages into different folders is lost with NNTP, since that organization is determined by the configuration on the server itself.

Ugh, this is how POLi Payments works in Australia, used by some businesses here and there and mostly by airlines. To do payments there, you literally give them your internet banking username and password, and they impersonate you to transfer money out of your account into the seller’s account. There are multiple bald-faced lies in their marketing (such as calling it a proxy like Opera Mini, and stating that they do not capture usernames or passwords, which… uh, hello, maybe you don’t store them, but you absolutely capture them).

I learned that this actually was what they were doing three years ago, and promptly complained to them, and was politely ignored (“Security is very important at POLi”… “Although it does not look like your traditional internet banking screen, the POLi interface is just as secure (if not more so)”…).

I’m baffled that the banks haven’t shut POLi down since it’s fundamentally predicated on ToS breaches, this man-in-the-middle attack and training users to do catastrophically stupid things, even including undermining 2FA (“give us your username and password; oh, looks like you have 2FA enabled, give us that token too?”). I complained to my bank (NAB) at the same time, and they said of using POLi Payments that “NAB does not suggest this course of action as this will be a breach of security” and that I should talk to POLi instead, as they “are unable to put a full block on this service as customers can still authorise transactions themselves at their own risk however NAB has advised in the terms and conditions of a breach this may cause”. In other words, they’re just covering their ears and ignoring it. Yet I’m sure they could block POLi without much difficulty if they actually wanted to, since all requests will be coming from POLi servers and are sure to be easily detectable (even their usage pattern would be trivial to detect). So why don’t they want to kill off this security menace?

Perhaps the worst part of it all is that Australia Post purchased POLi Payments some years back, thereby legitimising this abomination that should be terminated with prejudice.

Seriously, how do you end up with such a major player in the payments space being predicated around lies and evasion, terms-of-service violations and security malpractice? (And they even got exempted by ASIC from holding a financial services license.)

Another silly thing about it these days is that half the reason for the MitM attack (rapid confirmation that the transaction has taken place) is no longer needed, because almost all banks in Australia now support rapid transfers and linking email addresses to bank accounts, so they could just say “transfer the money to sales@example.com.au with description 12345” and reconcile it within a minute at least as an alternative to the MitM attack.

> Thus limiting those that are not vaccinated and making it difficult to move freely for them.

> ... that effectively will force many to be vaccinated.

Yup, that’s the point.

No man is an island. You already can’t walk around doing literally whatever you want just because it’s your body you’re doing it with. You depend on other people, and other people depend on you (or at least can’t avoid intermingling with you, especially if you decide to travel internationally). Those who don’t get vaccinated slow down our recovery from the pandemic, putting other people’s health and lives at risk. Society has to make these trade-offs, and this one seems very reasonable to me.

Thank goodness for obsessive Icelandic historians! Another one, Snorri Sturluson, is responsible for writing down much of the Norse mythology that we know of today.

The biggest downside with diffusion models is that GANs can be rendered in much less than half a second (sometimes 10fps or higher) on one core of a standard device you probably have. (Many of you have an nVidia GPU, and any ol’ nVidia GPU will render stylegan quickly.)

With diffusion models, you need to do >25 forward passes to achieve a result. It’s kind of like an O(1) algorithm vs O(N): stylegan has one pass, diffusion models have N. And N is currently 25 or more, which means it tends to be 25x slower than stylegan at a minimum. (In our experience it was often many seconds to a full minute before we saw results, but we didn’t try very hard to make it fast, and this paper shows advances in speed since then.)

The flipside: this paper has the most beautiful photorealistic complex samples I’ve ever seen. I don’t really care if they’re cherry picked; it’s hard to pick cherries on a rotten tree. I know.

The last thing I want to say is that I am disappointed the model is, yet again, not released. The hoarding of ML models needs to stop. These research models aren’t commercially useful, but they have incredible benefits for people outside of ML. I myself got into ML thanks to being able to play with GPT-2 and Sfylegan. I would leap at the chance to play with AlphaZero or OpenAI’s old Dota 2 models; no reason to keep those locked up. I also don’t care about the excuses for not releasing: none of them hold water. In my experience, no model has ever had a society-threatening impact, and it’s usually a euphemism for “we’re worried there’s a small chance we might look bad.” Releasing your model is as simple as scp’ing to your server; just do it and quit worrying so much.

Love the work. Diffusion models are a really interesting way of thinking about generative approaches in ML.

As a gardener, who is constantly taking photos of my plants and tagging them, I noticed the same pattern while generating stats on all the tags collected over time.

The frequency of photos would increase when there was flowering, fruiting, growth spurts, interesting leaf growth etc but the plant would get totally ignored for long periods if its neighbour was doing something more interesting or if it was struck by diseases/bugs, wilting, dying etc.

I also realized my least photographed subjects are weeds. Even though a lot of time is spent looking for them and managing them and just being gobsmaked at how unbelievably good they are at surviving whatever the universe throws at them.

I have a dumb script that generates a periodic report on all the tags to tell me which plant/tag hasnt been clicked for a while. It hasnt really made me a more disciplined but I feel its constantly reminding me of what I getting bored off and where my interests lie.

Modern economic literature suggests that managing inflation is about managing public expectations.

If businesses expect there to be price increases in the future (inflation), they'll raise their prices today to offset future losses from general price increases. Basically a self-fulfilling cycle.
So by creating a new economic unit with no inflation and managing to convince people that it has no inflation, the public does not raise their "real" prices, thereby fulfilling the expectation of no inflation.

This is a lot harder in practice, but that's just the general theory :)
