Good catch! The technique needs modification to handle uncertainty (i.e. if we don't know which variation of the digit this clock uses), by relaxing the constraints around the uncertain LED segments for the digits with variations. My guess is that the problem will still be constrained enough to be easily solvable again by constraint propagation, but I haven't tested that.

It seems to me the complaints of the author have little to do with technology and much to do with the author.
I think this is likely the most underappreciated comment on this thread.
There's a very serious cost to living with the cynical perspective your comment expresses. If you think that people will only change when you have authority or leverage over them, and that they will always ignore reason, you'll pass by hundreds of chances to reach equitable mediums over your life, and get nothing in return except a little saved inconvenience of never opening discussions with a less than 100% chance of success.
None. Any app that can lookup your words can show you the coords.

The only justification is the ease of communication over the phone.

I only don't like that it's proprietary and the company responsible is pretty aggressive about enforcing their rights - there shouldn't be a place for that in public emergency services.

Yeah, that's exactly the same reasoning. Because it's more convenient you run your notebooks in a dedicated tool. Nteract or Vscode or Pycharm..
You actually have to understand calculus for that to actually prove it to you, but, you can show that it seems to work out numerically with a bit of programming knowledge, which I imagine is more common on Hacker News.

I don't think either the numerical or symbolic proofs really help build intuition though. This video [1] kinda helps, although it glosses over the critical fact "multiplying by i rotates counterclockwise 90°."

Imagine 32GB of this V-Cache instead of RAM. Does each additional layer add latency? If so, I wonder how many layers you could have until it would reach RAM-equivalent latencies. Also, it would require a compiler change if you had 500 sections of RAM (at 64MB per section) with latency increases for each section.
I hear you. I do use bookmarks, and sometimes they work better than a google search, but they are a solution to a different problem (a problem for which sometimes I wonder whether it doesn't make sense to store the raw html of every page I ever visit and stick it in a full text search index ... org capture maybe?), and they are siloed inside their specific apps or websites. I got burned by using reddit's save functionality without realizing that you can only ever see the last 2k saved pages and now I bookmark things locally so at least sort of unified there.

The issue that I'm thinking about here is finding active UI elements that already contain what I am looking for. I have been able to do this to a certain extent in Emacs by writing commands to go to a specific buffer that is already open, except that even that doesn't quite for a variety of reasons including the fact that sometimes you want some exact state and sometimes you want a clean slate and in Emacs in particular doing that can completely mangle buffer ordering. At some point I will get fed up with the current state of things and fix whatever brain dead heuristic destroys the buffer ordering but for now I find workarounds.

Essentially the issue is that yes, it would be great to be able to put a pin in the high dimensional state space that is a computer + network and just ... go back to that point, but even ignoring the engineering challenges my experience is that the dominate UI paradigms haven't really even considered the issue (though the research community surely has).

I made a few videos on YouTube, the most popular has a couple thousand views. But I also made a short video that has 54 views. I met with 3 of those people from the 54 views. Sometimes, metrics can obscure the the context of the work you produce.
Those numbers are so big, I'm curious what your use case is for them.
> Progressive people believe that society is not fair but could be. Conservatives believe it is not possible, and it's silly to even try.

Having recently decided that I dislike leftist politics and that I align more with right-wing politics (in theory, if not in practice), the thing that switched in my mind is: why does it matter whether or not society is fair? I think that's the wrong question; I don't see any intrinsic value in fairness.

I think the right questions are: (1) how can we improve our average level of well-being, and (2) how can we reduce suffering?

So in my view, progressives incidentally get some important issues right including single-payer healthcare and environmental conservation. These policies tangibly improve our quality of life. But all the emphasis on equality, fairness, etc? Useless, in my view.
Yes. I linked below a slide set by a Lee Petersen, JPL engineer who was instrumental in setting up the uncertainty accounting for the Mars lander EDL system - both Curiosity and Perseverance. (Among other uses of UQ for engineered systems at JPL.)

In the slides he’s deliberately contrasting a “MUF” (model uncertainty factor) approach that uses safety factors, possibly stacked as indicated in the OP, versus a “BE+U” (best estimate plus uncertainty) approach.

The latter uses verified physics-based models, validation of model predictions versus experimental tests, and uncertainty quantification of sources of error, to get a best estimate of whatever quantity is critical to safe operation, and an uncertainty. A final margin can then be added onto that, see slide 13.

The mess at the system level that can result from a stack of ad hoc MUFs applied at the subsystem level is shown on slide 15.

Incidentally, many of the comments nearby seem to think the application of domain specific safety factors is still state of the art. This just isn’t true any more for high risk systems.

There's two scenarios here. Either you're looking up an exact location (either w3w or ll) as the information is required and then communicating it to others, or you're doing that in advance for an area you're familiar with and then memorising it.

In situation A, it's going to be a lot quicker and clearer to communicate w3w than an ll pair (for the same precision a ll pair requires 12-18 digits, plus specificity on +/-).

In situation B it's going to be a lot easier to remember the w3w descriptor, and you still have the same advantage as in situation A.

For spoken communication, w3w's rival is "it's 123 Fake Street, I'm the bloke in the green parka", not ll pairs.
At a minimum the scheme should include a checksum.
I have a very oldschool "FTP webspace" with Ionos (from 1&1) - it's really just your run-of-the-mill static website hosting package, basically unchanged since the late nineties.

Well, it surely changed a lot under the hood from the provider's perspective, I assume, but from the user's perspective, it works as it has always worked: you have a domain, you have an (S)FTP account, you upload your static HTML/CSS files, et voilá, you have a homepage/blog.

I create my HTML/CSS locally using Hugo. The source for my homepage and its blog posts can be seen at https://github.com/manuelkiessling/manuel.kiessling.net.

Super simple, no headaches, no downtimes, really fast end user experience when browsing the resulting homepage. Less than 4 bucks per month.

I do depend on Ionos, of course, but as it's only HTML and CSS, it would work with every web site hosting solution on the planet.

I also depend on Hugo, of course, but Hugo is open source, and I've even stored the Hugo binaries for different platforms locally.

My homepage is at https://manuel.kiessling.net/.
> this argument is dead and nobody will ever go back to native apps again

I don't see this. The native program ecosystem is alive and well as far as I'm concerned. All the programs on my computers are native, despite noone "going back".

> Finally, the file system paradigm fails with shared content; you can't save a Google Doc to disk because then how can your friends or coworkers update it? It's much easier for Google to store the data on their server so that everyone can access it instead of you setting up some god-awful FTP-or-whatever solution so that your wife can pull up the grocery list at the store.

Now go and check out syncthing, you're in for a really good time.
Slightly off-topic but I thought it might be interesting: you can easily modify tests to adapt to your changing architecture as well.

Personally I use TDD to have an easy entry point to run through my code, so the first instance of a test for an api might only check status code

It makes the process very iterative, as you can continuously run through your code just by saving
What kind of miracles do you expect from melatonin?

To make you fall asleep?

Do not take more than 450micro grams, over the counter contains waaay to much melatonin.

Melatonin is an antioxidant, but it is not a miracle hormone.

It just signals the absence of light. Owls and other nocturnal animals get wide awake in the presence of melatonin, humans and diurnal animals get sleepy.
I know why credentialism will arise. Just because it “will exist” doesn’t mean that we accept it.
You can check Lomorage, it is lightweight and you can host it on cheap Orange Pi Zero (and other SBC as well like this cheap rock64 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0868WSTXH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_...) and run it 7x24. Lomorage comes with Android and iOS APP, easy for backup review and share with family, and WebAPP is still very basic and mainly can be used for import existing photos. AI features is added on iOS but need more refine on UI, currently you can search by text, object, location, it doesn't support face recognition but it's on the roadmap.

You can also check the user pain points survey here: https://lomorage.com/survey/, if you take the survey you should be able to check the result. And another survey result is available, you can use Google translation to check the result: https://www.wenjuan.com/r/n/2f4545567028ee7ba28192f5e0cdb498, it's Chinese version and you can use chrome to translate to English, right click and choose "Translate to English", this survey should cover diverse people with different ages and backgrounds.

Coffee/tea breaks are great, but they are in a different category. People drink at different rates, and you need to be somewhere to sit to drink, and usually indoors near a kitchen area.

Smoke breaks are fast, usually outdoors, and limited by the short burn time of a cigarette the moment someone lights up. It's (IMO) a different social function, which is something I didn't appreciate until I lived with a smoker.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying smoking is a good habit to have. Only that I have a new appreciation for what 'smoke breaks' are as their own unique sort of socialization. Having a drink together, it's just not the same.

Self-hosting!

Coincidentally, last week I decided that I shall update my self-hosted blog at least once a month (had written two posts over the course of five years).

So I grabbed the content, put it into Org mode files, stored in git, exported the html (also stored in git) and uploaded the result to my cheapie web-host.

http://www.lelanthran.com

I'm quite pleased with the result - I can easily move this at some point to my DO droplet, which will happen probably this year (sometime).

In the meantime, I'm just gonna write down my opinions of the world and call it a blog :-)
Don't care. Responsible business owners will take basic steps to ensure customers of the business are not screwed over when the business folds.

That could consist of opensourcing the code, handing the servers over to someone else to run, making the product have a fallback mode where it runs without a server, etc.
Someone has to figure out how to shoehorn everything that used to run on systems that let an application do anything the user could do, into the new paradigm where the default is to allow nothing. A lot of applications need to be upgraded, and a lot of new systems need to be installed.

Network security, with a focus on the use of unidirectional networks to make infiltration of control impossible will be required for protecting infrastructure that needs to be monitored.

Multiple skill sets will come into play, the more general the knowledge set you have, the more valuable you'll become.
None. Lat longs usability isn't the best (people don't like long numbers). But it's failure mode won't send you to Vietnam when you meant a public park in the UK. even if this system is constrained with simple, short, not confusable words (which would entail shrinking the earth or lowering the resolution) the fact that addresses are randomly assigned extremely reduces it's utility. Can you look at 2 addresses and know immediately where they are in relation to each other? Not the best tool for most map problems.
I wonder if a more efficient system for this kind of use-case would be possible by giving up on "global" positioning.

by relying on context you can lower the area you need to have address combinations for. In practice you would simply repeat the addresses every couple of 1000km or so.

needing help and calling in rescue from the other side of the world while also being unable to say you are in such and such area is presumably not something that happens too often.
As an android user, I personally hate having to use apps. Websites are much easier to use and I can zoom (and override if they try to block it). I can use extensions on firefox (yes it's possible) and modify the behavior when needed.

I also cannot bookmark pages from apps. I can, however, add websites to the home-screen. I don't see any reason to download fat binaries for a worse experience.

Are you an app developer? You seem to be very biased.
The article seems wrong about some of these locations:

Someone needs to make a "yelp for business owners" where you can review previous businesses all the directors have been involved in, and if they treated customers and suppliers in a decent way.

Even a tiny bit of attaching moral standards to individuals in the business will have a big effect - people will leave a company if they see something immoral happening, so as not to hurt their own employability.

I keep repeating this argument in different forums, but: if you every lived in China you would realize that the native app is the past and the future. Since governments can block websites, that means they can block your web apps too. When I came to China I completely lost access to Google Docs, Gmail, Facebook, etc. Relying on web apps is exactly like giving governments the right to uninstall applications on your computer.

Right now this is not a big deal in most countries. Right now. But as the web becomes increasingly balkanized (and I believe it will) and as countries become less democratic (always a possibility) the native app with local data will reassert its prominence in people's lives.

I'm very sorry for what happened, hopefully it does not happen again. From your response I gathered a few things, that contributing to open source seems to be taking a toll on. You may want to look at monitizing (github sponsor) or taking a break (or simply slowing down) from open source.

The actions of "jerks" are a self reflection of them. They are trying to get attention, play racist music, draw immature content, get a laugh out of this (which will get boring after x times) . You can probably guess how they are as people in real life, none of the above are positive triats to have. Don't let these jerks get to you rather, use this to strengthen yourself that you are doing something much more constructive and positive with your time.

Minorities have enjoyed more relaxing restrictions and often these policies are not enforced unless they have proper jobs (governments, CCP members and so on, breaking this could mean the end of your career). Many minorities are in small number to begin with, then the large minorities such as Tibetans and Uygurs are in tens of millions anyway. It is very different from Japan or other countries.
