Working in a bound codex format, it's very difficult to allocate specific space to specific projects. The simplest authoring or capturing mechanism is to simply move forward with time.

There are a few variations on this.

Alternate (or no) bindings give alternative organisational concepts. Loose-leaf (or insertion bindings), and index cards (no bindings, though these may also be ringed or otherwise organised, e.g., in pockets or sleeves), are two of the major ones.

You can work a book both forward and back. I discuss this briefly in another comment to this thread.

You can creat an index (or indices), or "spreads" dedicated to a specific topic. I use this on occasion in a bullet journal context, and one option is to have a spread of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc., pages on a topic (say, books to read, some concept, a specific activity log). If you run out of space, you create a new spread later in the book, and effectively have both index and linked-list chains that connect related blocks forward and back ("continued on page +xx", "continued from page -xx").

There are some fairly elaborate concepts for organising commonplace books, I ran across one such at the Internet Archive a while ago.

I've hit on the idea of effectively creating a round-robin type file in a bound form, where I note specific ideas, references, or projects, and advance the best of these periodically. So best 5 ideas of the week (or month), best 5 of the quarter, best 5 of the year, etc. (You can choose different counts or concepts, the essence is that over a given period you capture of interest a finite set of items Over time that selection should proceed to a high-quality curation. This gets around the tendency of such lists to grow without limit.)

And in the event all of this sounds terrifically or meticulously organised, it's not. I follow most of this in the breech, and am very far short of where I'd like to be. But that itself is one of the best aspects of this (or these) system(s): they're resilient. Follow them assiduously for weeks or months on end, then abandon them, then pick them up again. I'd never managed any previous journaling practice for more than a few months, maybe a year or so. This one's survivied several years, and expanded, with utility.

I also make extensive use of index cards (excellent non-temporal data capture), and of course, various online systems, though my inclination has been to rely less on these if possible.
HN crowd are like the flat earthers of the cryptosphere. When people's self esteem relies on them being contrarian don't expect them to actually put in the effort to learn about something.
Yes the Django admin was cool, the Rails core team didnt want to bring something similar to Rails for reasons I dont quite remember..maybe its a shame
> I initially started with Makefiles, but it quickly became hard to work with. Makefiles are wonderful, but at a certain level of complexity it makes more sense to move to an actual turing-complete language.

Small nit, Makefiles are Turing complete. This of course does not negate the stated reasons for moving to Ninja -- despite being Turing complete Makefiles are frustrating at a certain level.
Looking at the flows on my network while uploading a file, it seems Google Drive's mac client just uses regular old TCP, same for the website.
In a greenfield project, you can restrict the code base to stable C++ dialect (all the way back to C++98 if necessary), and you can dictate the use of C++ features which make it safer than C. For instance, smart pointers for all memory allocation.
And sahil runs a company that in the world of software doesn't really pay well or is wildly successful. Plenty of engineers 'worth their salt' work in those kind of environments, get paid significantly more and start getting annoyed a 1 day round trip latencies when they are in north america and the other engineers are in europe, india or china.

Not mention meetings are very painful to schedule, because nobody really wants to take meetings at 7am, 9pm, etc.

"Therapists build their insights on top of huge amounts of biographical information that they gather in intense, concentrated sessions."

Agreed with all of your post, I think this is the most crucial point here. Genuine, skilled psychoanalysis is less about being some master discerner of psychological motives, and instead being very good at giving the subject of analysis a lot of psychological safety to express their innermost thoughts and most personal life experiences. Unless you build that kind of (responsible and professional) intimacy for lack of a better term, you're largely just projecting imo.

I know people who work at Amazon. Not even the people who like it say it's kind.
I think your criticism is valid, but I don’t think it’s sensible to adhere to principles in a black and white way. For me, the minor restriction put in place by Nvidia is the lesser evil when you consider that they could just as well sell out to the miners and drastically increase their margins. In fact, I think it’s a very sympathetic move. I don’t think “it will be broken” is a good argument, because the intent displayed by Nvidia does matter.
I quoted directly from the approval document on the FDA website. The other poster is linking to some unrelated thing about VAERS.

While I wholeheartedly agree that nvidia should do this, what bothers me is that they take functionality away without adding anything in or lowering the price. They are selling a "technically" inferior SKU for the same price.
Ah I understand now - from the shop’s point of view yes there is risk in this.

I am just about old enough to remember this time - it’s funny to think that security hinged on checking if the signature looked ‘right’. For cheques I remember here at least for yours to actually be accepted anywhere you needed a ‘cheque guarantee card’ which was basically just a debit card but with a fancy hologram - so a certificate of your ‘goodness’ - up to a certain limit per cheque. The shop would copy the details and this would supposedly guarantee they’ll be paid.

I was going to say that shops could have asked for ID - but at this time driving licences didn’t have a picture and weren’t cards - so no one carried them anyway. There was probably a lot of ‘subjective’ acceptance around the place (‘does this person look trustworthy, would they really be given a credit card or did they steal it?’) come to think of it…
Ah. This makes sense. If the author is heavily involved in the archaeological linguistics community they would indeed not know how well-known the Rosetta Stone is.

> The difficult people were never stupid, far from it, but they felt like they needed to defend everything they did, every decision they made, and that made working with them less productive.

I assume the implication here is that the productive folks didn't necessarily defend everything they did, and thus went with other people's solutions sometimes even when their own was better? Is that what you're trying to convey? or should I be reading it differently? Curious how their behavior contrasted in your experience.
Isn't this the normal way of React with Redux? It's how I've seen it done for years.

The casual customer will still be buying GPUs 10 years from now.

The bulk order GPU miners will stop ordering GPUs the minute mining becomes unprofitable. With proof-of-stake and ASICs on the horizon, this could happen rather abruptly.

When miners are done with GPUs, they're going to unload them on the secondary market. The used GPU market is going to be flooded with GPUs that have been overclocked and run with the demanding synthetic workloads 24/7, which is going to create a high failure rate. This is going to sour a lot of people who buy those used mining cards and experience failures later.

In short: They're gaining goodwill with the long term customers at the expense of the short-term customers. This is fine, because the short-term customers will disappear soon and the long-term customers can consume all of their production anyway.
This is exactly what the original essay said:

> It's hard to be independent-minded without being somewhat socially awkward, because conventional beliefs are so often mistaken, or at least arbitrary. No one who was both independent-minded and ambitious would want to waste the effort it takes to fit in
> The network majority decides everything, including how transactions work, how many coins there are, what the block size is...

The informal consensus of network full (non-mining) nodes enforce that. Full nodes are economic actors, such as people who sell goods and services, who fully verify the chain. They simply refuse accept inflated Bitcoin.

A Bitcoin full (non-mining) node only takes 5GB storage space and 128MB RAM to run.
This is a really interesting project, and I wonder how long until Google unceremoniously cancels it and drops support for anyone who's bought into it.
Wait, do people actually think Dyson swarms are a thing? The amount of time and energy needed to build them always seemed ridiculous to me. Especially as all you gain is energy (which hasn’t proven limiting) and you lose almost everything else (gravity and atmosphere for a start)...

Yea, Dropbox on my Macs has continuously been outrageously slow at uploading. Everything else is multiples faster.

Dropbox does at least resume fairly reliably though, so I can generally ignore it the whole time... unless I have something I want to sync ASAP. Then I sometimes use the web UI and cross my fingers that I don't get a connection hiccup ಠ_ಠ
The g in dog is interesting, because while it's clearly a g in context, it would definitely read as an 8 in a vacuum.
No way dude. Our current system isn’t even close to PoS. Most obviously the federal reserve controls the monetary policy. Beyond that there is no “code is law” that we can all audit and fork if we find it inadequate. If ethereum centralized you can amend the protocol and fork the blockchain. Show me how you can do that with USD.
Yes, but they then need to maintain that edge by selling their Bitcoin and buying more computer power. They have constantly growing operating expenses and there is no force that centralizes control. PoS playbook is 1) get a stake, 2) set it and forget it.
Hoping that the unified OS will be free and open source like Android (AOSP). Tizen and a few previous versions of Wear OS appear to be open source, but the Tizen SDK, Wear OS phone app, and Galaxy Wearable phone app are closed source.
The Equitablemath organization wants to dumb down public school students in California (disproportionately black and brown) and is funded by super rich whites (Bill and Melinda Gates). Bill Gates went to the elite private Lakeside high school with a great Math curriculum. He clearly does not see the people of color as worthy of that by this very funding.

This was actual state policy towards blacks and people of color in Apartheid South Africa. The denial of a traditional mathematics education to everyone should be a crime.
> company's dedicated GPU for professional mining

What a world. What do you do for a living? Professional miner. oh no not that kind of miner.

Anyway...I'm guessing it's again only the eth hashing algo that's crippled.
Why does it appear similar to that tech other than you get a 3d image? As far as I can tell there's no info on the display other than it uses "Light field technology" which would make it different than the parallax barrier display on the 3DS.

I don’t like that at all. “We” means more than one.
I just use PhoenixMiner. Anything that has the feature of reducing memory latency ('-straps 2'). Getting 47 mhash/s per 1080ti with that.

I actually had to spin up a Virtual Machine with GPU passthrough to launch Windows because I couldn't get the GPU tweaks working on Linux. Really nice how vfio is now in the Linux kernel, it's been a breeze going through the setup (compared to a couple years ago when you needed a custom kernel.)
And those were the manufacturers that were shut out. Besides, I didn't say the US forced anyone. Being scared and being forced are close but not identical.

Edit:
Having some knowledge about how the US operates in Europe I am not surprised. I have personally seen lots of examples of exercises in Europe where foreign nations participate and behave very well with the host. I have only ever seen the US navy and the US army just show up using radio frequencies they damn well feel like, unlike every other nation ever. Everyone else reserve frequencies beforehand. The US not so much, no matter what they might interfere with. The US is a bully that behaves like it damn well feels like.
Does it have to defend itself a lot?

I've noticed contradictory statements are kind of standard for GPT-3. I can well believe you could come up with a system that's better at defending itself against the charge of contradiction than it is at avoiding contradictions in the first place.

Vendors are selling cards at 10-50% above MSRP and scalpers are selling them at 200-300% of MSRP precisely because they're usable for mining.

By breaking the mining incentive, they are dropping prices for consumers. Considerably.
They should just raise the prices. Supply and demand, you know?

And not so related to this, but from what I've heard about cracking competitions a few while ago, Firefox was not even included, it was considered too easy. Maybe my sources were just bad.

Not OP, but probably this bit:

> I write our firmware using C. While some might gasp at using such an "old" language, it turns out that the combination of my familiarity with C, the maturity of its resources and tooling, and the low-level nature of writing firmware means that C happens to be a joyful language for me to write firmware in.

Which has the flavor of defending the choice of C as if it weren't the standard choice.

Yikes. Fortunately Java is a supported language at Uber, though some teams are more serious about it than others. Scala is also accepted because of Spark.
The pre-amp world was also completely utterly terrible though.

Do you remember mobile news websites circa 2015? It was full of so much ad tech that if a site didn't make your phone hot and crash the browser the best experience you could possibly get would be a couple ad and email form click throughs, maybe a video fading in over the entire content like some trashy mobile app, followed by a scroll jack, a backbutton jacking, then more videos just magically appearing in between paragraphs pushing them apart like some kind of infestation, it was just utterly unusable.

The text that you were lucky enough to catch would quickly fly up and down the screen as more ads start rendering and load in at every div tag with multiple jingles and voice-overs for car insurance and refinancing playing out of your phone all at once. You think "well maybe I really don't care that much about what that diplomat said after all". It was a complete waste of time. They were almost all like this as if there was some secret competition among the news sites, like as if some coveted award was at stake for the craziest most unusable experience.
Because they're all largely funded by U.S. based VC funds.
I got my Dad to play SUPERHOT VR for a bit, he liked it, but I suspect the "Shoot yourself in the head to start the demo" bit was possibly a bit on the nose considering he spent quite a few years manning suicide helplines.

Prices have been raised.

You can buy an RTX 3080 right now if you want. It's just going to cost you $2500 or so because vendors and scalpers are capturing that markup.
Huge advantages for both. For example, something that's only possible on a blockchain is a flashloan. This is where you can get a loan for any amount (liquidity provided) as long as you repay the full loan amount in the same block. This primitive alone allows for much higher velocities of money since value can be moved and repayed in a single block (on the order of 10 seconds).

All of the advantages of defi boil down to increases in velocity of money. For example you can deposit funds into a contract and receive a token that represents your liquidity position. You can then use this token in other applications. So now you have this composability of money which allows people to create new financial primitives.
Such sentinel devices have been available for years. The trouble is they can't reliably identify attempts to exploit zero-days because the patterns are unknown.
Sure, but it has nothing to do with race.

As mentioned in the post, when the viewfinder fills the screen, controls have to overlap the viewfinder. This makes it harder to judge your composition. That's why it still makes sense to keep your UI from looking like an airplane cockpit.

Yeah, I'm a big ETH holder, but this is honestly what worries me about the POS merge. I think the fact that Bitcoin miners have to sell to fund their operations is a nice feature and keeps them in a separate class from the custodians. Economic incentives that merge validators with custodians could create a feedback loop that concentrates too much power in the wrong places. That being said, ETH has a thriving DeFi ecosystem and a ton of smart people working on it, so I'm not betting against it.
30 mins at a supercharger is hundreds of miles of range...that's quite the commute. But if you're at home - yes, I guess not having any charge is an inconvenience in the morning, but so is not having any gas or hydrogen.

My dad used to tell a story about my grandfather's first experience with television in the late forties. There was a buxom woman on the screen, and he walked up to it, trying to look down her cleavage. It didn't work.

Does Starline give you a different view when you change your perspective? It looks like it does to some extent. If so, it might work before long, but grandpa died about fifty years too soon for it.

De-rated units are usually chips that didn't perform as well as they could have. A variety of manufacturing discrepancies (defects) can cause excess heat dissipation or non-functional cores.

Selecting what a given unit should be rated to (clocked at or enabled to do) is often known as 'binning', and is common throughout the electronics industry.
