The machine isn't using a heuristic. The machine is just a system of electric field oscillations.

A rock rolling down a hill isn't using the "geodesic heuristic" either.

We impart to physical systems we have designed our intentions in designing them: we interpret so-and-so field oscillation as a "heuristic". But this is an observer-relative designation.

By the same observer-relative gesture, the rock has its heuristics too.

Animals however actually have heuristics; ie., dynamical interior models of their environment which are analysed to prescribe action.

Animals in being present within environments and having genuine interior reasoning/imagination/intutition etc. existi in a different relationship to "the chess game".

They aren't like rocks just "following the geodesic" (they do that at the atomic level, sure). But relevant heuristics here are genuine interior processes which are dynamically attached to environments.
This is interesting because I feel the exact opposite is true. I suck at most things that I guess aren't really my regular hobbies. I also don't feel a need to try hard at them. Like I just skateboard for fun, its not a thing I really identify with, I'm definitely not progressing much at it. The things I do regularly, like if you asked me "what do you do" I work harder at it, it sucks to suck at the things you like to do. That's motivation for me. I guess I'm surprised in the case of your computer science you wouldn't find that motivating
But how is that related with vanishing points?

> I have a C64, and anyone who really likes that platform can either buy one on ebay or emulate it.

Anything that has actual retro hardware is bound to be niche. I am extremely happy with my C64 Maxi. It’s emulated, has an HDMI output, USB, can be a C64 and a VIC-20 and is a reasonably accurate physical replica of a VIC-20. I already have a dozen actual vintage computers, but the other ones require attention and care that this one doesn’t and that’s a killer feature: it can be used pretty much the same way one would approach a computer in the mid-80s - it’s a computer, not a museum piece. You attach it to a TV, not to another carefully preserved artefact.

The physical mimicry is, what I think, the most important part. You relate to a physical object that feels the same as the original and that allows you to explore what the original was and felt like.

I’d love to see more of this, because it’s easy to manufacture and inexpensive enough to be put in the hands of children who can then have a blast exploring a bit of our past. My 8yo loves it. Now I wish they added C16/Plus 4 emulation, and that they did C128 and C65 ones.

733 people died yesterday in the U.S. from COVID. On an annualized basis, that would be 267,545 deaths per year. On the other hand, 36,120 people die in car accidents per year.

If you saw someone wearing a seatbelt when they were stopped at a red light, would you make fun of them due to the relative safety of that situation?

If you had a friend that refused to drive after drinking any alcohol at all, would you make fun of him?

Perhaps some people do more to protect themselves and others against COVID than is necessary, but perhaps we should appreciate their conscientiousness by contrast with the very large number of people who took unnecessary risks, downplayed the problem, got infected, infected others, and ultimately led to 33 million people getting sick and 600,000 dying.

Sounds like you have no idea what are you talking about. It was exactly Python project I've recently completely rearchitected, rewrote and greatly improved. Client can't thank me enough as it performs hundreds of times better than the old one. And from what the client told it was developed in less time than the original Python version.

In general I use multiple languages including Python. I just do not see anything in Python that noticeably speeds up development of big and complex projects vs modern C++ ( or any other decent language for that matter ).

The problem isn't that social media is too addictive to abstain. The addictiveness is what keeps you hooked, not what gets you into it.

The problem is that social media is too addictive and also very difficult to avoid.

For many jobs, social media has become if not integral then at least an implicit requirement ("please retweet our press release about new feature X"). It has also become a major news source, especially for niche or specialty topics (HN and reddit are "social media" too btw).

Companies like Facebook (and to less success, Google) are trying everything to create onramps to their social media platforms wherever possible. In many places Facebook is used by municipality governments to post news updates, restaurants to post their opening hours and menu updates, and so on.

"Social media abstinence" is not possible for everyone, difficult enough as it is once you've already been using social media.

> 30-50 year old adults outside, alone, in direct sunlight, exercising, dozens of feet away from anyone else are still wearing masks.

This is how it's been in East Asia and spread has been fairly limited compared to the west.

Mask wearing and not clustering in tight groups here isn't really a mental health issue. It's just a hygiene issue, like washing hands. I think most people here grimace when we see someone walk out of a stall and leave without even wetting their hands.
So, here's my thinking. The goal of the exams is not to find the children who are middle of the pack. The goal of the exams is to find the outliers. The unusually bright.

What I think actually happens is you capture the top 0.1% because they're too smart not to make it, but the other 0.9% of passes is a mixture of highly trained, hard working kids alongside the intended targets.

I guess I always wonder what could be done differently to capture just aptitude. Is that even a good idea? I myself was bright but didn't have much drive, so would have done poorly. I don't think that's a group you want to capture either.
The “Death Ground” strategy is more relevant in a situation where the greatest danger is a rout.
Eh kind of but you are mixing the OS with the application framework to make it look like more things exist.

PWA for ChromeOS,
Flutter for Fuchsia (but yes it is multi-platform),
JetPack Compose for Android (but does have some multi-platform stuff coming out).

So really it's three.

PWAs, Flutter, and Jetpack Compose.

Of which I think PWAs rightly exist alongside a native solution.

Flutter is sort of the odd one out and not sure where it will be long term. Although it's becoming more clear Fuchsia is probably going to be for IoT devices, so I could see Flutter being used as an application framework for them (which IMHO makes a lot of sense.)
That's actually an issue with e.g. Facebook as well that goes back for as long as it's been around - people only post the good stuff, like vacations, parties, etc. Even if they're not intentionally trying to sell this lifestyle that a lot of Instagram influencers do, they are inadvertently causing the same problem. And on the receiving end, the reader of those wants to post those fun things as well, making it a self-reinforcing cycle.

Maybe you don’t see the social and communication value of seeing someone’s face, I do.

Maybe you don’t live somewhere where the temperature is 30 degree Celsius plus often, at which point wearing a mask is a very different UX to colder weather.

Ask HN: How do I learn more about entrepreneurship/startups?
I’m currently a fullstack dev at a big tech company in SV. I graduated college with a CS degree a few years ago and my friends and I want to potentially start a startup with are in the same boat. We understand that 90% of startups fail, but we want to try something new and we would be happy starting a self-sufficient small cash business.

I took an entrepreneurship class in college where we read the Lean Startup. My mental model of creating a startup is this. This could be completely wrong and probably is but it's the idea that I developed in my head in college. Steps could be out of order as well, and there might not be an order to these things.

1.Think of an idea/ find co-founders (starting a company with friends has risks)

2. Interview possible customers and see if this idea solves a great “pain” they are having. A “pain” for Patreons' customer would be that before Patreon existed it was hard to earn money from fans as a content creator.

3. See if enough people have this “pain” to even pursue the startup.

4. Make a financial model and figure out the business strategy and how the business will make money

5. Make an MVP/proof of concept and try to get customers that pay you on day 1

6. Grow/market and gain more customers??? No idea how this works

7. Secure funding or be self sufficient cash business? Pitch to VC/investor??? No idea about this

There is a lot of marketing, sales, financial modeling, and accounting that goes into this.
My colleagues and I just know about tech (embedded/ systems, fullstack) and a little bit of entrepreneurship from the lean startup.

What's the most efficient resource to learn more about startups and these concepts? A buddy of mine from college whose startup recently got 200k in seed money told me to look at free videos/materials from incubators/accelerators. Are there any other books or resources Hacker News recommends? I’m probably wrong on a lot of what I think I know.
That 733 number is fake. It's all extremely exaggerated. Someone dies from a heart attack and they will flag it as a COVID death if any trace was detected with test equipment that is ridiculously overtuned to detect even non-infectious trace particles of the virus.
I'm also really curious to see. Something about it appears weird to me more than other "retrobrew" projects, and I'm not quite sure what it is. E.g. the RC2014 ecosystem is also a totally new system around old designs, and somehow I see more appeal in that.
Because big companies would never let a person like Elon Musk create something like Space X internally.
Without very, very strong evidence, that's BS, or more politely put: a retroactive fit of the concept to the operationalization, in this case probably the REM observation which vaguely correlates with dreaming.

No, it means nothing unless users use, buy, and sell the coin. The miners' are subservient to them, assuming the miners are trying to make money. Miners do not decide or approve which set of consensus rules people decide to use, though they can, at a potentially quite significant loss, disrupt the functioning of the network somewhat.

It could be helpful to list things that you do, unprejudicially, and see if all of them are like this.

I suspect that you do play for its own sake, its just in areas you havent considered in that light.

I’m so confused! This is exactly what Kanban is supposed to be. It’s not supposed to be anything more than that, or less.

I've been a frequent and undiscriminating Reddit user, and while the "idyllic life" / showing off posts make up a nontrivial portion of its content, there's a lot of things to offset it as well. Depression memes, deep fried ridiculous humor, cute animals, car accidents, the adventures of Florida Man, world news, etc. They used to have a lot more - "punching down" content, porn - but they've cleaned the site up over the years to appeal to a wider audience / advertisers / investors.

> There's nothing in free markets that will make this happen without regulation, as evidenced by the fact that it so far hasn't happened.

According to hardcore libertarian free market theory, polluting someone else's property without their permission is a violation of their property rights. In principle this would make it impractical to burn anything at all, because the combustion products go out into the air and spread to someone else's property without their permission. You would need the permission of everybody everywhere, for which they would want to extract payment.

Obviously that isn't how it's implemented in the US, but that's what the theory says should happen.

A carbon tax + dividend is a pragmatic alternative. The criticism of it is actually that it gives the polluters too much -- maybe someone thinks the tax isn't high enough and wants to demand more of the carbon emitters. By implementing the tax you're taking away their right to refuse to have their air polluted and hold out for higher payment from the carbon emitters.

> You don't like them, that's not the same as them not existing.

Nobody was claiming that implementations of bad ideas don't exist.

> Let's say we only want a snippet of the data in our original endpoint. We can create a postprocessing.js or postprocessing.ts file written in Deno to filter and save just the data we care about.

Nice to see Deno being used and preferred instead of Node for this use case: the post-processing script can be only a single file that imports its dependencies from URL and caches them, instead of having to create a whole folder with package.json for the script.
PG often writes about people as if they have immutable characteristics, like being mean, or a hater, or a loser, or having fierceness. It's a dull, incomplete way to look at the world that makes his writing wooden and unrelatable. Observing the world, especially fellow human beings, in such rigid, discrete contrasts would seem to drain life of any dynamism, producing a grayscale vision of reality that belies all but the most shallow information about any subject. Despite admitting his ignorance of their origins, he still doesn't hold back on suggesting motivations and life stories that might explain people's behavior. Why anyone would turn to a VC for this kind of writing baffles me, but I guess there are people out there who entertain themselves by reading appliance manuals and the like.

It would be interesting to hear how the google and facebook bots discuss who is the winner in chatbot's technology, and I wonder if the evaluator function of both model agree on who is the overall winner, this imply some scale or measure to divide the knowledge graph into brachs and compare the quality of conversational technology of both models, perhaps using a random forest model to evaluate the performance mean scoring function of each one to get some transfer learning or adjust some hyperparameter. Finally, I would also like some comparison with the wolfram tool. I think wolfram shoud be designing some chatbot centered about discovering new facts or empowering users in the scientific realm.
Good Question.
this is beautiful, thank you for your response.
I like this design but I wonder how many apps will actually adopt this. I don't see Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc rushing to adopt this (it largely conflicts with their own design language.)

Also a lot of smaller companies rarely update theming for apps so I don't see them doing it either (I doubt my banking app cares.) I have a feeling few apps will actually update to this leading to fragmentation. Anyways we will see.

Also, never hire an information security employee who has ever worked for a firm that has had a security incident. Their "industry best practices" did not work for the previous employer, why would they work better for the next victim? These former employees bring disaster.

Pardon the language, but what a load of crap that attitude is. I wonder if the author is giving up is job if one of their students is involved in a company that gets hacked, because clearly they failed to teach them properly and brings disaster?
> particularly in these times of change and disorder, openness to experience is also a good way to prevent anxiety.

I thought this was a weird conclusion. I think of my self as pretty open to experience (maybe there's a unintuitive definition for this I'm unaware of?) But that is a conclusion I don't really relate to. I guess I'm open to new things but quite so "go with the flow". Seems contradictory out loud but I can't be the only person who feels that way.

Also, I feel like this article seems to suggest mastery is achievable if you just work hard enough. My life experience with my own attempts to master things suggests otherwise. I don't know if everyone has it in them to actual master something.
