A few of my friends used to be in the Chairforce and told me about their forced vaccination schedules. One had severe adverse reactions to some now-banned anthrax vaccine. None of them took the covid vaccine.

Strange you think we should all be as subservient as you were when you were a Marine. I mean, I get it, I want our armed forces to have a solid CoC that can be relied upon, but pushing it to the point where you have to obey orders to take random needles without any informed consent seems a bridge too far for me. Stranger still is you seem to think this is how we should operate in the civilian world.
Avoma.com does this exact workflow (Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder).

It has collaborative note-editor like Google. So during the meeting, you and your colleagues can take notes in the same document, or you can also take private notes.

All manual typed notes are linked to meeting recording and transcript to refer back the context later on.

On top of that, Avoma's AI will also extract some additional notes - like Action items, etc.

And if you or AI missed taking some notes, you can highlight the transcript text to add it to Notes.

It's the best blend of human intelligence working with artificial intelligence to create most structured notes, in the least amount of time.

And it works with all conferencing providers – Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, etc. So you don't have to worry which conferencing supports recording or not. It's always taken care for you.

Hope this helps. Feel free to check it out at https://www.avoma.com.
Ask HN: Looking for a good quantum mechanics MOOC or book
I'm looking for a recommendation. My high schooler has taken AP Physics 1 and AP Calc 1 and wants to learn about quantum mechanics.

I haven't done anything in it since college, so I said I'd love to re-learn it with him. We're making it a summer project. I loved taking qm in college and would love to share this with him.

We're not afraid of math, but I'd prefer anything be either easily understood or at an AP Calc II level. So many books out there are either graduate level texts or have no math and/or are more like pop science.

I looked at MOOCs (on Coursera) and didn't find what I was looking for. Looked at books on Amazon but there are so many that claim to be what I'm looking for but since I can't really thumb through the books, I can't tell for sure what's in them.

So I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation here. He'd prefer a MOOC, I'd prefer a book, so we're open to either. Math up to college undergrad calc and algebra is good, but something without math is ok if it is still engaging and educational.
time is the scarcest resource. could argue it's a waste of money, but one man's trash is another man's treasure
Okay, but you have to understand that you're exceptional...at least top 1% in terms of capability. Only 88% of teenagers graduate high school. Some 60% of those will go to college, and only 46% of those will eventually graduate. Of those that eventually graduate, on average they will earn an average $50k starting salary, which takes your savings rate down to zero. 17% might get a salary of $85k. [Too lazy to cite the Google results, I'm on mobile].

So at least from my napkin math plus estimates, you've probably got less than a 10% chance of making enough to save any money at all for your first job out of college.

And I don't know about you, but I spent the first 5 years out of college paying off student loans...and I had a pretty low student loan burden compared to most. And many others might start families sooner than you've chosen to, which is expensive as well...and half of them will get divorced which is even more expensive.

I don't have anything against teaching people to do the best they can with the shit hand they've been dealt in life. But selling that by claiming that average people can be millionaires (even in today's terms, let alone 1990's terms) is selling an expectation that will never pan out for the vast majority of them. Any belief in the truth of that claim inherently relies on a very privileged view of the world, either because they were born with a silver spoon, or because they don't truly understand the scope of expenses that other people face, or because they think that average people are even capable of the kinds of jobs that they hold. It is flat out irresponsible to peddle this fantasy.
At the moment crowd-sourcing ML training doesn't work very well because updates to the model's weights have to be shared between all of the nodes in the computation periodically. Giant models tend to be trained on clusters with very fast interconnects for this reason.
Even 2013's miserable Ouya was in a FAR better position for SOME kind of success. (A tiny Android-powered console was at least somewhat novel, and only $99.)

Yet it still failed hard.

Amico, and the similar-tier Atari VCS, are in vastly more hostile waters in the 2020s.

Both have the audacity to expect success, asking ~$250 for wholly unremarkable machines. A crazy powerful XBox Series S or Switch can be had for a mere $50 more. Or, more threateningly, $50 cheaper for the Switch Lite.

Not to mention the Switch is friggin' NINTENDO: home of arguably the most desirable, family-friendly games in the industry. I seem to remember that being the niche the Amico was trying to dig in with: the software being family-friendly, with games under $10.

The class of software they're showing off tends to be in the $5-15 range, at best, on digital storefronts like the Switch eShop. Sure, Nintendo gets a cut of the sale, but I have no doubt they'd make that up in volume compared to both sales on their bespoke hardware.

I actually LOVE the idea of bringing quality gaming within reach of lower-income families and/or casuals. That's a good idea, and could even be quite successful in this crowded market if handled right.

I'm just baffled that either of these projects have gotten as far as they have. Probably caught in the web of sunk-cost, with it being too late to turn back. :P
For now. They seem to be somewhat upfront about the insider releases having relaxed rules for now, but that you will probably need to reimage with Windows 10 later.

You are looking for links to what moxie said and people's experiences of interacting with him.

> I would fall asleep while programming in the middle of the night, dream about programming, then wake up and continue programming just where I left off.

This was almost always the case for me in group projects as we'd invariably do a waterfally style project management and each person would be 1 day late turning my 7 day window into 3... And worse yet usually what I got handed was crap and I'd just have to rewrite the project keeping only the barest clues of their work in place.

Not that much has changed 20 yrs later in my career.
That is probably very bootcamp-dependent, I've found bootcamp grads have been very good. In particular, the fact that most grads have had "real jobs" elsewhere mean that they have good people skills/time management/actual sense of "getting things done" that vastly outweighs the skill imbalance.

Hell of a lot easier to increase someone's React knowledge than it is to, like, fix how they interact with people.
The other "only thing is ..." is that there aren't any devices.

Whatever (text messaging on a HAM band) you want to use, there is not a qwerty (or touchscreen) device that you can use to compose those messages.

You either need to connect a computer to such a device or (I think) there are one or two handheld radios that you can type out messages using multi-tap.[1]

Do I Always Need to Wash Fruits and Vegetables? Do I Need a Special Soap?
This comment is a bit pithy for the reasons already mentioned and more. Humanity has never acted as one thing. There is no order to the activities required to turn things around for the world. Reintroducing a keystone species can draw more attention to an under appreciated ecosystem a la polar bear. conversely, it could make light of saving a species if we can simply reanimate it down the road. But again, there is room for all sorts of efforts. i doubt more tools and more species would be an overall detriment. i would love to see an ecosystem rev to full glory.
Not sure what your point is, many of the most intelligent and capable people in the western world are working at Google and Facebook designing the best algorithms to make people click on ads.

I imagine it's not because it's the most interesting but because market demands force them into it. Far less resources are put towards solving the climate crisis...
But can you just get someone else to give your talks for you? Or, to turn that around, can you make a career out of being another researcher's ghostwriter?

(Yes, presumably, they'd have to understand the subject just as well as you do for the inevitable question period. But maybe you're not bad at private mentoring, just public speaking...)
Depends on the hourly/daily rate if you ask me.

Are you hooked on that quarter million per year at a FAANG (or on getting there)? Yes you will probably have a hard time getting rid of those 8 hour blocks.

Get a 'normal' job at a normal enough company? You can probably do a comfortable version of the 8 hour blocks that you enjoy, which sometimes are 9 or 10 hour blocks and sometimes 6 or 7 hour blocks or an afternoon off.

Personally I love the pandemic WFH. It's been possible to do flexible time arrangements without the 'bad feeling' you have when you leave the office early, while everyone else stays. People are in different timezones anyway now, asynchronous communication for many things is normal etc. YMMV as always, like that WP article that is also currently up here on HN.
Guy built custom computer but ran Windows 10 on a MBR disk with legacy boot (BIOS/CSM) and TPM disabled. Ran 11 compatibility check and was surprised that Windows 11 won't work with that.

Also advocating that MS sells a version that relaxes this requirement (AFAIK - Windows will run on the system anyway but support people may* turn you away and your system will be less secure). For reference, the insider preview build works just fine on my 7700k system with TPM disabled.

Is that your main argument against Stack Overflow? Because for some percentage of people the use cases will be similar (that is, learning some quick ways to do something that they can then explore and learn about).

Sometimes resources like these are used as references and the solution is used as is. Sometimes they are used as a survey, and it's more like asking a librarian "I want to learn more about how to X" and having them give a short exposition and point out some sources to study. It's important not to let you view of it's usefulness as one type of resource bleed into your view of how useful it might be for the other.

As a learning resource, this is very interesting.
> Unless you have a recent store-bought PC that has Secure Boot and TPM enabled out of the box, you probably aren’t going to be able to upgrade, even if your hardware is theoretically compatible.

The vast majority of Windows devices are "store bought". TPM 2.0 has been an OEM requirement from Microsoft for almost five years now, so the only people that need to worry about enabling it are people who built their own PC, as in the exact type of people that would know how to do so.

Engineering solutions rarely cause climate change. I'll grant you that enough concrete pouring might be nasty but I doubt a very small country in Europe, next door to Germany is responsible for all of it.

You can do this through taxes. Right now there are tax breaks on green options. In the future have an increasing tax penalty on non-green options.

On the other hand, building with an eye to increase density in a couple of decades looks like smart planning for growth.
Pretty sure they meant micrograms, not milligrams.
I understand your point, here - so don't take offense, please.

The Hellschreiber was invented in the 1920s, and the "protocol" is still in use today. CW transmission of symbols (Morse code, for instance) began around 1913, this is after, of course, spark gap transmitters (such as those used on the Titanic) and telegraph.

I personally cannot understand or use CW/Morse, but i have radios and software that do it for me. There are extremely tiny, battery powered CW radios, usually costing $50-$300. If one can use CW and understand it, that's wireless, telephoneless communication. Hellschreiber, though, requires a display (or clever OCR, due to the way it is transmitted over 3 identical horizontal lines), but a chiclet style keyboard could be used.

Unfortunately i don't know of any consumer-y way to do any of this. APRS(c. 1984) 100% could do tiny, text-only messaging, and in fact does already, but requires licensing. I can send a text message to anyone at an internet connected device with a screen, or anyone, anywhere with a radio that supports it. X.25(1976) also exists, as does PACTOR(1991), both of which in theory don't need much more than a display and a way to input characters.

Back to my point, though, telegraphs have existed since before 1792, and the idea was to be able to see semaphore further away. Electrical telegraphy(1809) was first 35 wires in 35 tubes of acid and the operator had to watch for bubbles in each tube. But about 110 years after that, teletype became more prevalent, and there we have Hellschreiber.
Well, you can downvote me all you want, fuckers, but what I said is accurate.
>Why would they promote hard work if hard work didn't matter?

Telling someone else to work harder costs nothing. They're not the one putting in 16 hour days.
The act itself can be open but the true motive secret. Snowden's example of gerrymandering shows what he means, it's a practice ostensibly to balance voting districts but there is clearly a conspiracy to use it for political gain.
Guerilla biohackers releasing extinct keystone species into their original habitats would be a pretty dank cyberpunk future.

Another part of how taxes work is people decide what they they want to fund or not. It is possible for people and/or representatives to decide not to fund 'public goods'.

Something potentially offering a good to the public is not irrefutable argument that the government should do it.

Entrepreneurial success requires that. If you're in the wrong place or the wrong time, you'll fail.

Smart Factory: What It Is and the Vital Solutions You Need to Build One
not hard. I learned enough to be productive after a few weeks of self study 4 years ago when there were way less resources for learning.

we had a subcontractor helping me who didn't' know elixir. I was able to get him running within a few days. his lack of sql knowledge was more of a bottleneck than his elixir proficiency.
I think the way you’d want to implement it would be to only allow atomic copies (no aliasing) of the configuration blocks. There might be a way to do it efficiently without just pausing all the virtual cores. For example, you could blow out the memory mapping to that block so that it would trigger a page fault if and only if the guest tried to access that block, and you could make the page fault handler block until the supervisor was done copying. Or something along those lines.
Yes, MBR and BIOS have been on the way out for quite a while now. It's about time new stuff started dropping support.

And yes, the compat checker really ought to say why it doesn't like a system.
I more just hate the principle of tpm, that there's some part of my system running which I have no way to see, no way to hack, no way to modify. give me a special ring -1 that i the owner can use to own my system and I'm ok but what a vile situation that windows now mandates that users can't have control over their systems.

argument against there being the possibility of access all boil down the to apple no-sideloading arguments, that users might possibly do bad things, that the world is scary. it's a lot more scary to me when mega corps can invisibly do whatever they want on hardware I "own". re-personalize the PC, please.

also 4 year old Ryzen processors don't have support for the digital fascism chip so a lot of them would have to spend a court hundred bucks to upgrade.
It was "carrageenan plus ivermectin" it looks like. My numbers were slightly off but here is an article which refers to the study:

https://trialsitenews.com/argentinas-ivercar-ivermectin-carr...
PG essays are written for an audience of startup founders and prospective startup founders. When he says "doing your best work" he doesn't exactly have a guy pouring concrete sidewalks in mind. Theoretically, a founder who works harder can make 10,000 as much as if they slacked off. That will never be true for basically any other profession.
I'd expand that storytelling is not only sharing dreams, but also acts in a way as a collective psychotherapy. You let go of the events of the past day and re-align with the hero of the story. Whatever you experienced that day, the hero (mostly) has it worse. The bad guys in stories are punished, or will be punished in the afterlife. The evening sitcoms are so popular exactly because they are safe in their predictability but offer slight variations to cover a variety of topics.

At the same time, if the narrative is incomplete or stirs up emotions, it will not let you sleep well and will leave an imprint over time. If the bad guys in the stories are not punished, it remains up to you, the individual, to punish them. If you are born in a society that suffers war and you see that your people were not able to protect themselves, it would feel natural to you as a child to step in and punish the bad guys. If you hear stories of unmitigated injustice carried out against your people, you will find yourself preparing to fight.

This is how radicalization works, through stories of unmitigated injustice. This is why echo chambers are so dangerous – they never offer stories of protection and redress for the perceived injustices, but only heighten the sense of danger and defenselessness, up to the point where conspiracy theories begin to seem plausible. This is why we should be mindful of what information and 'news' we consume. And this why we need stories of justice, of 'evil' being punished, now more than ever.
One meta comment I would like to make is that taking the advice of people looking backwards can be terribly misleading as people re-encode memories as they recall them, often to highlight the positives and to move goal posts towards what actually happened.

Someone who says "I'm so happy I moved to <place> in my 20s because <life event> happened" fails to highlight 2 things. 1) What were they aiming at and did they accomplish _that_ and 2) what were the multitude of true opportunities they turned down and would they actually be materially happier had those happened. Not would their current self prefer it, but if we could some how numerically rate the happiness of folks who go through alternate universes...

The good news is that there's a good chance you'll look back on your life events with mostly good feelings, regardless of what happens, because you'll heal and move on from the bad parts ...
Shame it's behind a paywall.

Obviously directly derived works or studies that replicate results are probably suitable for withdrawl too under the same criteria. I wonder how many published papers on average should be withdrawn when events such as this happen. I suppose its related to impact assessments but I wonder how that varies from field to field.
The innovation is realizing that consumers are tired of your tiered upsell bs (looking at you Xfinity/comcast) and just offering everyone 1000/1000 and being done with it. That is literally what some of the reseller ISP are doing now.

I think I'd get 90% of the value from such a device, out of having a regular smartphone, but locked down to running only a single app, that works as follows:

• The app is an email client, so anyone with an email address can reach you through it, and you can send email through it;

• but the email client is a proprietary one, associated with its own special email service provider (so you have a separate email address with them, and if you want to receive your regular email there, you have to set up forwarding);

• and the email servers that this email service provider runs are special, in that they will deliver others' messages sent to your address, to your account's IMAP inbox, only after a 24hr delay; and they will forward the messages you send through the SMTP server, out to the next server in the SMTP chain, only after a 24hr delay.

Given such an app+service, people could still reach me, but nobody could ever reach me synchronously. And I couldn't reach them synchronously, either.

It'd be like the feeling of latency that comes from corresponding using physical letters, but with those letters happening to arrive wherever you are, rather than at a postbox. (I guess most similar to corresponding using letters when you're at a war front. A courier walks up to you and hands you a letter, sent from home 24hrs before.)

Given the delay, there'd be no real point to messaging anyone more than once a day. I'd write an e-letter to each person, updating them on what's been going on with me, and then I'd turn my phone off. No point in wasting battery on it when any message is going to be at least 24hrs old when I receive it. May as well just check it in the evening, or the next day.

If I see or hear something nice, I can take a picture / record a voice memo of it with the smartphone per usual, and include that picture in the letter I write that day.

I could even vlog, I suppose. (Do you call it vlogging if it's done over email instead of over the web?)

I could still subscribe to newsletters.

And I could ask people to forward me clippings of interesting things they find on the web, as if it was 1996.

But doomscrolling on social media? Impossible.

Acting as a remote IT helpdesk oracle to diagnose some failure someone's having? Also impossible.

If someone really needed a specific, single question answered, they could ask me, but only if they don't need the answer urgently. Better to just ask someone else, unless they don't have any better option.

But having an "evergreen" conversation about an interesting topic would still work just fine.

Heck, even participating in a Play By Email (PBEM) tabletop RPG — do people still run those? — would work fine.
