It's considered part of a "four part apology", and is often taught when teaching kids how to apologize.

I'm sorry.
What I did was wrong because ____
Next time, I will ____
Do you forgive me?

Forgiveness is not required (though encouraged), but you should still ask for it. It's not perfect, but following the pattern is something that helps one demonstrate that you understand both why one's behavior wasn't OK (and how it hurt someone else), it also communicates that you intend to change your behavior.

This blog post seems to pretty solidly convey part one, but the others less so. It's still good to see the "I'm sorry".
Lolz. Low power in the wrong place can be a problem.
Exactly, helium is likely bound to exhaustion along with natural gases deposits: the only source of helium, currently. It can't be replaced with another gas, at least not in supercoducting magnets, so it's a problem. In the future, fusion power plants will be optimised to reduce helium losses, recycle helium produced by the reactions and may also have to extract helium from the atmosphere. The latter is a rather expensive process given that the concentration is just a few ppm.
I'm very skeptical of crypto but I'd say buying drugs online is probably better done with crypto than with fiat. It's probably the only actual use case that isn't speculation, and it probably dwarfs any legimate use as a day to day currency.

But even then, all the new cryptos are usually totally useless for peer to peer, private transactions since they merely piggy back off the ETH/Binance/etc chain. They often don't even support p2p transactions at all, and are now openly designed just to be hodled or dumped through exchanges

Monero is pretty old by now, but it's still the goldstandard when it comes to security/privacy/opsec, and darknet markets are slowly starting to phase out even BTC (which is a total opsec disaster considering how traceable it is) in favor of Monero.
The sun is always shining somewhere on earth, so maybe it's possible [1] to connect all our grids together and transmit power from the light side to the dark side. Whether this is cheaper than buffering the power in huge energy storage systems, I have no idea.

I would note that here we are talking about markets, not the types of things the linked article references as having been studied statistically. I don’t think anybody disagrees that there is absolutely zero scientific basis to astrology and its relevance in the physical world whatsoever. But that’s not the question. The question is whether an occult belief system can cause measurable effects in markets, which are not related in any way to the real world and purely derived from human sentiment.

> Why even give an upper limit?

Because if you just give one number, even if that's your absolute minimum, the entire salary conversation is going to be anchored around that one number, and you're going to have a harder time asking for 50+% more than that. If you give a broad range, it's easier to justify countering with something closer to the top of that range.

> It's not like you'd refuse $400k if it was offered to you, would you?

Of course not, but nobody has ever offered me that. :) In all seriousness, yes, you run the risk of your range coming in below what the company would be willing to pay, but in my experience (and those of friends and acquaintances), outside of FAANG, I have found that to be extremely rare if your range is wide enough. The companies that pay super well are generally big, and thus well-known to pay that much, and I wouldn't give them any salary numbers at all because I'll have a pretty good idea of what they'll pay me with a bit of research prior to interviewing.

Of course, anecdote != data, so YMMV and all that. This is just my experience interviewing at mostly smaller companies.

Has anyone every genuinely done any research to check if an increase in theses resulting symptoms from decreasing T levels across men over the past few decades is highly-correlated to our seeming decline in productivity and generally stagnating GDP growth?

Can it be affecting the contributions of 50% of the population? Can it be affecting scientific, industrial, cultural, community, and familial contributions from men across society more than we realize?

And what would we actually do if we did realize this?
This is a wonderful contribution to the software development community, in the vein of Why's Poignant Guide and Land of Lisp. I fully support such combinations of artistry, whimsy and technology - true to the core hacker spirit.
For the most part, transmitting radio in the US is only allowed in a few frequency bands, referred to as the ISM band. These have pretty strict transmit power and duty cycle limits. If you get a ham radio license, then many more bands open up to you.
Pretty much this. Even if you lock down devices inside your house, they could have friends with looser rules to let them do whatever. It's best to teach them proper behavior than try to enforce them.
Sounds like a hidden arbitrage opportunity if they accept to honor that conversion rate!
I have 320 subscribers (on fibre) out of one of our PoPs, and the evening peak is around 1.6-1.8 Gbps these days. Oversubscribing 800 customers on a single 1 Gbps connection is going to result in an absolutely awful end user experience.

Most WISPs make the mistake of failing to monitor airtime on their access points. With much of the low cost gear on the market the performance of a sector is going to be limited by the performance of the customer with the worst SNR. Newer gear that implements MU-MIMO significantly improves that since the access point can transmit to multiple subscribers at the same time. Have a look at some of the Cambium equipment. Other vendors have taken to implementing better QoS on the wireless phy side of things, but without MU-MIMO, it's just shuffling chairs on the deck of the titanic while the whole network sinks to the level of the guy with a bunch of trees in the fresnel zone of their 5 GHZ antenna.
I cannot understand how this new "feature" could be considered a good idea.

Ask HN: Best way to trigger a webhook every time I swipe my AMEX?
I just played around a little with Plaid and Replit, and it seems insanely complex to get transactions from my AMEX account to trigger something like a Zapier web hook.

I want to log each AMEX transaction in a Google Sheet.

Has anybody set this up before? Easiest way?
I'm torn about this sort of technology. On the one hand, the best way to drive adoption is external recording. On the other hand, the data are sooooo coarse-grained. And on the third hand, we don't have anything resembling the theoretical framework we'd need to process any finer-grained data at the scale of the whole brain, so maybe this coarse-grained external recording really is the best first step. With those caveats, I do think this has potential important concrete applications, even if "mind reading" is likely beyond the scope.

The fundamental question for these devices will not be one of neuroscience or practicality: the fundamental question will be how good is their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). If they even approach clinical EEG SNR using their fNIRS, then these will be widely adopted, off the top of my head, for two uses: seizures and meditation (and the latter doesn't require anything even vaguely approaching clinical SNR).

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological conditions (the most prevalent?) in the world, affecting more than 1% of people, and it's somewhat hard to diagnose effectively due to sparsity of seizures. You can only have patients hooked up to an EEG for so long, and you just have to hope that you get a seizure during that time. Especially when doing preliminary localization in preparation to surgically intervene (the only effective treatment in ~1/3 of epilepsy cases), you need to catch that seizure when it happens. So any vaguely cheap option that allows patients to monitor for seizures in their day-to-day will see widespread adoption by hospitals. (This doesn't even account for the potential to predict seizures by a matter of seconds or minutes, which can be invaluable for someone with moderately frequent seizures.)

The meditation one sounds more out-there (especially if you read the OP article...), but is actually pretty well supported by studies. Particular results are debatable, but it's fairly well-established that meditation causes a large scale change in the frequency composition of brain waves that's pretty easy to capture on EEG. What's more, you can induce these changes consciously by providing feedback (e.g. a moving dot on a screen), a result demonstrated in monkeys (and I hope in humans, though I haven't seen that myself). There are still some lingering questions, such as the relative efficacy of inducing these changes via feedback vs via meditation, but they're questions at the level that they'll be overlooked by whatever company invites you to learn to meditate with these helmets. Intuitively, you could think of this as analogous to those posture-feedback devices I see advertised everywhere. Those notice your back is bending too much, and alert you. This would notice your thoughts are wandering, and alert you.

A third, very vague, but important consequence of a device that (finally) has good SNR is the advent of a critical-mass hacker culture around brain-computer interfaces.

If anyone knows anything about the SNR, or about more recent results on meditation, I'd love to read more.

This goes hand in hand with many laws in california.

There's a law that governs the treatment of mental illness and basically, it's not against the law to be mentally ill, and as long as you're a not "a danger to self or others" they will have to leave you alone, even if you clearly need help.

This is particularly heartbreaking for many people with some form psychosis, because anosognosia is frequently correlated with it. This is basically an inability to have insight into your own mental illness (sort of like a powerful form of denial).

So there are lots of mentally ill people in california, and they usually end up homeless, or eventually in jail.
There was woman's liberation movement before CCP took power in 1949.

It started at the end of Qing dynasty and continued with up and downs until Chiang's China. You are also right too that communism naturally calls for equality between man and woman.
not really, vscode with preview on works in a similar way, but I don't really need to use it like that, mostly I just navigate the directories and find the file with the notes I'm interested in reading. If I do forget where something is, simple search finds it and I don't even consume it as rendered markdown, usually just as plain text. I find it really useful, I have a ton of notes on all kinds of things that I keep referring to.

Yes, but the point is, if you have an amount of memory M, there exists an amount of memory N for which there is no program that fits into M that can successfully predict whether an arbitrary that fits into N will halt. No infinites required.

(since your example is using two copies, you're essentially using 2M memory)
In cryptography an oracle is someone or something you can query that returns an answer that you cannot know from just the math.

It doesn't have to be an API. Side channel attacks can provide unintentional oracles. For example, if you have a password checking function that takes longer to return a false result for "close" inputs, then it leaks information that can be used to crack passwords (simple O(n) string comparison would be an example)

This chart is exactly the hacked-together kluge I expect of a randomly evolved solution.

Have you tried applying your hobby towards reducing the cost of healthcare in America?

Could you somehow make monoclonal antibodies in your petri dishes?

Could you diagnose what kind of flu virus you have?

You have to monitor peak utilization of the network on the order of seconds to minutes. The rule of thumb from queuing theory is that network performance tends to tank when capacity utilization hits about 80% => a 1 Gbps link is only good if your max utilization is 800 Mbps. But if your monitoring only looks at 1 hour averages over the course of a month, you're going to miss the periods of seconds where everyone's getting ping times of >100ms and having their VoIP calls drop out.

There are a lot of things you'll learn along the way if you try to run an ISP. =-)
agreed! a couple things seem to be holding this back:

- the academic publishing model incentivizes groups to build their own tools

- the small-ish market for something like this has kept commercial software from taking off (Genomatica started by building a tool like this in the early 2000s, before pivoting to bioprocess development)

- it's really hard to specify pathways in concrete physical terms. Even a chemical like glucose is actually a collection of pseudo-isomers (alpha & beta D-glucose). And try firmly defining a "gene" in your database!

that being said, there's a ton of work going on in this field and many cool projects to follow: https://dd-decaf.eu, https://biocyc.org, http://bigg.ucsd.edu, http://metanetx.org

The classic "I'm sorry, but"

Not a real apology, nor real regret, merely self serving fodder.
Yes and no. Big players will react and offer special deals to people in an area to keep them and lock them in for another year or more if they perceive your ISP as a threat, but if you offer reliable service and good speed and good support, you can eat their lunch.

The problem is that to be competitive you might be looking at years to break even on investment depending on what you offer and where, and how you deliver it. Running fiber on poles to deliver 1gig or 10gig? The buildout is expensive, you have to target dense areas or buildings with lots of units, and even then it's a lot of up-front money and it will be a while before you're out of the red even with a good takeup rate.
> No, however we do owe it to ourselves to learn better how to push back on difficult people. It’s a form of self defense because difficult people, or people having a bad day and lashing out, are not going away.

I think this is a key word, though—we owe it to ourselves. We can say "boy, I did a poor job confronting that bully today." But no-one else owes it to us; we are, I think, unjustified in saying, "boy, Matthew did a poor job confronting that bully today", or at least in passing any judgment if that is our belief.

What an absolute joke.
I guess it is a good description of politics, in that didn't people have different ideas on how to solve our problems. I think drugs, for the most part, should be decriminalized. I think prohibition taught us that.
In the other hand drugs can be bad, and people are what stuff abuse can do. This is one reason we try to criminalize it. So, it isn't exactly cut and dry.
> But consider for the moment the question of why you are convinced that induction is valid. There is no proof of induction's validity. The epsilon delta thing is a definition, not a proof, and serves, effectively, to invert infinity into an infinitesimal. I am on firm ground with these statements, like it or not.

I'm afraid these statements are a mishmash of some correct and incorrect statements, and a logical argument like that is considered incorrect.

* Yes, the definition of limit is a definition.

* The definition of limit has nothing to do with induction or infinity. I'm honestly baffled why these three distinct concepts are being conflated.

* For well ordered sets, induction is just reductio ad absurdum in which you assume the smallest element does not satisfy a condition and then show this to be incorrect because the next smallest element must meet the condition and it's satisfication means the next larger element must meet it as well. There is a valid question as to whether every set can be well-ordered, which is an axiom, but for countable sets, which is where virtually all induction arguments are used, no axiom of choice is needed to use induction-style arguments.

* The statement "to invert infinity into an infinitesimal." is gibberish.
So now we have to issue formal apologies when someone decides to attack us in public for being rude to them years earlier? Are people made of wet tissue paper, unable to move on after someone wasn't nice to them years ago?
I think whether or not you make something part of your identity is a choice. This sounds like our core disagreement.

I think choosing to have something bad be part of the core of how you view yourself is harmful. There’s some evidence to back this up iirc (things like people involved in shootings being interviewed immediately after and then again months later - those that had issues recovering made it part of their identity, those that didn’t - didn’t).

If there are strategies to avoid harm I want to know what those are. If there are bad strategies I want to throw them away.

People can do what they want, but I wonder if defending and reinforcing someone’s identity as a victim does more harm than good.

In general I think people are way overconfident about what the “right” thing is here and what’s actually happening or what the best way to get out of it is.
Disrupt yourself before someone else disrupts you!
> people think they can just dump computers (or musical instruments as another example) on students and it will be enough

It was for many of us, at least in some ways. In the 80's when we got an Amiga 500 our parents had no idea what to do with it, it was up to us to learn and read the books it came with. That meant a lot of games but it also came with plenty of creativity software from music programs to basic. The same was true with music, we had a keyboard in the house and some kid friendly music sheets so I was playing regularly from about the time I could reach the keys. I can only imagine how much joy I would have had from a rasberry pi beginner kit.

You can't dump computers/instruments on kids and expect a full general education, but you can expect the curious ones to pick things up and learn if they have access.
What's interesting to me about it as a consumer is that I actually find the highest quality apps in a third party app store (fdroid). It's not because of exclusive deals or anything, it's just because the Play Store promotes crap full of ads while fdroid intentionally does the opposite.
Ah, okay. As a sibling comment said SwiftUI was inspired by React so it makes sense that some concepts would transfer over. Thanks for the response!
> North Korea neither gains talent from abroad nor loses talent to other countries.

It does. Nobody defects to North Korea, but there are thousands of North Korean refugees in the west. That should tell us something. Same thing for Cuba. Their inflow to outflow ratio is 0 (nobody wants in).

> Europe loses talent to the United States.

Net loss, but looking at the ratio it's still > 0 (some people move from the US to EU, just less than the other way around). So something like 1/4 (one person moving into the EU for 4 moving to the US).
