How do we know the first batch of scanning is only scanning for what they claim? Once the system is in place, providing new hashes or even doing more detailed in image recognition becomes much easier.

Really we need another alert level where every user is required to take their mobile phone out of their pocket and do facial scans of everyone around them. Expand the panopticon to hundreds of millions of devices in realtime. Could solve a whole lotta crime.

5.63 m/2 vs 16.1 m/s ?

Neither 5.63 meters divided by 2, nor 16.1 meters per second can be right, from context.
Why? Drivers' licensing makes people safer on the roads, vaccines make people safer in crowded indoor spaces.
You might be looking for a kind of deliberate planned game design that just isn't really there in Minecraft.

The world is destructible so why not have a block to blow it up? TNT takes gunpowder to create because why wouldn't it? Gunpowder comes from creepers because they're around and they explode.

Minecarts are for riding in, but the first thing Notch demonstrated for them was a rollercoaster. Horses weren't added until some time later. You can still craft a Minecart With Furnace even though powered rails made them obsolete.
What we have here is rather someone ‘acting as if they were stupid’. It’s not just that they failed to apply the concept of betrayal, but that they literally didn’t think of it: it was effectively ‘offline’, due to emotional and other pressures. In this kind of case, agents possess the necessary intellectual tools but unwittingly lock them away. This marks an important contrast with dumbness – we can make ourselves stupid, but we don’t make ourselves dumb.

This is a good insight. Lots of stupidity is a lack of imagination rather than a lack of raw intelligence.

This is also an idea that Julia Galef illuminates in great detail in her book "The Scout Mindset." She describes this as the difference between "Scout Mindset", which attempts to figure out what is correct, and "Soldier Mindset", or "stupidity" the way this article describes it, which attempts to fight to confirm what one already believes to be true.
Thanks for reading to the end!

I think successful remote working is feasible if one has an established home life. That would connect the 'lost small pleasures' to the overall topic. The effects are lessened if one lives in a connected local community, or shares a household with family or flatmates.
Subsonic is anything under 1125fps, with some variance for local weather conditions, and .45 ACP is popular to use with a silencer because standard loads are almost always subsonic. 500fps seems consistent with the absolute low end of some target loads.
Doesn't the jvm weight dozens of megabytes, with tracing JIT, baked in OO semantics, GCs, etc.? That seems hardly comparable with wasm which currently works best for languages like C++ or rust with pretty small runtime. Just like people more commonly use lua as an extension language rather than Java.

I agree with what you're saying, but why don't instead we all just work for the supply chain, and then we can all work two days per week, instead of worrying about how to incentivize those in the supply chain to work ever longer?

There are many other sources as well but this can get you started.

It's a mistake to underestimate the sophistication of other civilizations. Native Americans depended on the forests and grasslands for food. They were very well-informed in matters of land management. The US Forest Service and other have begun (belatedly) to try to understand and incorporate these practices in their own forest management.
Great question. The motivation will differ from person to person, but I can give you the reason why I'm using it.

I live in a high cost of living area, so I used to keep ~20K in my checking account at all times to pay for rent etc. All the rest of my money I invested in a total market stock index fund. The checking account balance is just a small fraction of my overall balance, so the FDIC insurance really didn't help me.

Financial Choice has two benefits for me. 1) I now get to invest those ~20K which gives me a ~1-2K expected annual return without any hassle, and 2) I can just keep all my money in my Financial Choice account, so I don't need to bother moving money between a checking and brokerage account anymore.
Yep, I thought about it a bit more and you're totally right.

> will continue most everywhere that has high land prices.

There must be a feedback cycle and tipping point whereby once land prices, zoning and demographics create skyscrapers land price will only go up because suddenly land had a much lower impact than it did when it only housed modest buildings. Skyscrapers will then get taller to compensate. And the cycle continues.
App developers on Android rarely bother to clean their app caches. Open Apps in settings, sort by size, check top entries and you'll be surprised. Explain to me why the hell does Instagram need 500 MB of cache.

Kind of a bummer I don't know of any method to mass clear cache data of all apps on my non-rooted Galaxy S8. It'd save a lot of space and was possible on ancient HTC phones with Android 2.3.5.

Edit: I experimented with wiping cache partition in recovery mode, but this ain't it - as the name suggests it's a separate partition.
I don't think NIMBYs are the only problem. Nuclear is just too expensive to build and maintain, especially with dirt-cheap renewables and storage coming down too. I have some hope that SMRs or something will end up working out, but like you say, I think it's mostly too late.
This problem will not be solved by technology. If you want away from it bad enough, you will stop using a smartphone or at least uninstall all apps that are for chatting and interacting with the Internet.

Then you install Lineage OS without google apps on it so you have no connection to google on it.

It would take quite some willpower for someone to do that but the added massive bonus is that no tech company can read your private conversations or look at your images.
Changing it up is really important for certain. In fact ergonomic advice for dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome is going to contradict advice for dealing with ulnar tunnel syndrome.
You no longer need syscalls when you can interpose the whole runtime, you don't need cgroups either for a wasm process. Sandboxing becomes a purely user mode construct, no OS magic needed.
He played Age of Empires II at a friend's house once. Is that enough?

I think he makes a pretty big tradeoff that nobody else would, without completely shooting himself in the foot. Even if he had a fully FOSS phone, the people he called probably wouldn't. He's drawn the line far enough out that I don't doubt his sincerity.
Is Apple’s use and deployment of CSAM ethical?
The thing I wonder about stuff like this is that a phenomenon we see in one domain will typically transfer to another domain. For example, the 'hydraulic analogy' [1] for electronic circuits is pretty damn good at least on a macroscopic level. I wonder if there are applications of this phenomenon in other types of physical systems (including electronics).
It doesn’t actually seem that complicated at all. Tax crude oil and coal. That’s seems pretty simple. Maybe there’s something I haven’t thought of.

How do you define what an appropriate per capita CO2 budget is? Is it different for someone from China, India, and the US? What about the difference between individuals from rural agricultural communities vs a large city? If non-western countries have the 'right' to increase carbon emissions why don't poorer people in Western countries have the 'right' to increase their emissions?

What is the target level for developing economics? How does it make sense to mandate Western countries go to net-zero while all developing countries continue to dramatically increase per capita emissions?

Since it would be impossible to force China or India to meet the same standards the West self-imposes in this scenario, you are essentially asking Western individuals to pay a higher cost of living for NO net carbon reductions. This mandate will disproportionately affect poor people.

As a result I don't see how anyone expects radical carbon reduction policies to receive support from the Western world. I do not see how this is a rational course of action for an individual voter or for any developed economy.
As a hardening measure for production container or machine images, it would be good if code interpreters, including things like Python and Node.js but also shells, could be restricted to only accept source code that comes from a signed and verifiable bundle. That would mean no interactive mode, no running code supplied on the command line (meaning no shell injection vulns), and no support for eval or equivalent. But we wouldn't have to go to the full trouble of using a distroless, shell-less image. Does anyone know of active work in this area?
I find it interesting. You can try your vegan post. Sounds a bit dull but go for it.
"The aim is to protect the centuries-old custom from the encroaching threat of social media and television, said José Carlos Sánchez, the mayor of Algar, a town of about 1,400 people. 'It’s the opposite of social media,' he told the Guardian. 'This is about face-to-face conversations.'"
Congress is trash, but they're the institution that runs your life, and you at least get a nominal say about who is in it. If you're arguing for revolution, I won't disagree, but what it really sounds like is the traditional "we can't do this one thing until we do everything else first."

Due to regenerative breaking, electric vehicles (well at least Teslas) rarely use the breakpads, so less break dust.

I thought that board looked interesting. Looks like a $50 cellular board, includes 500MB of data over 10 years (though with missing fineprint according the the HN thread). Might not be a terrible board to design around. Though adding it to your BOM will make your final retail cost on the order of $450.

Some creative googling got me this, for a different starting point. Looks like it might be a useful project writeup dealing with SDR and connecting to some cellular sources.

https://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/intro-to-software-defined-...

I'm not sure how common open SDR hardware is, though some forum threads seem to suggest the Hackrf schematics are here, and are meant to be replicated:

https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf

I think one of the big problems is ultimately going to be dealing with phone companies. I think that will ultimately stymie any open efforts in this space, since at the end of the day, you need someone to accept your cellular traffic.
I'm not buying it. If you can recognize what it is, enough to be able to be sure, you're exposed to it. If not, you're just guessing - and your guess is heavily biased towards confirming what the machine said, because Apple spend $MASSIVE_AMOUNT on this technology, and who are you to question it based on a blurry picture? Also, you'd be saving children, and if you're wrong (which you're likely not - remember, industry-leading AI!) - well, the police surely will find that out very quickly and everything will be fine.

It's not like it's the first time such systems are built. We have a cases of Big Social banning people for random stuff and then saying "it was a technical error" when the noise in the media is strong enough. We have chess channels banned for racist hatespeech. Only this time the question is not whether you will be denied the opportunity to post cat pictures on facewitter for a week. It's pretty much the most shameful accusation one can be subjected to in our society. Once the press gets hold of it - and it'd get hold of it the minute the police does - there's no coming back from it for the person affected (well, maybe if they are Hunter Biden, but not otherwise). And all that will be hinged on an anonymous drone looking at a blurry picture?
Prescribed burns are probably a better tool:

Doing prescribed burns outside of the normal fire season allows them to reduce the fuel load and restore more natural conditions without the risk of creating giant runaway fires.

YC doesn't select for "cultural fit".
I agree that the resulting binary is a Lisp interpreter.

But I don't think the program presented in this link was its implementation.
Graal has AoT, you cannot compile Java to native with LLVM. But you know this already. You cannot compile C++ to the JVM w/o heroics or interpreting a RISC machine (nestedvm).

Are you going to quip that Burroughs did all this already as well?
So, your argument is that double digit percentages are not worth it? I'd say that's low hanging fruit. A no-brainer. Get it done and then worry about the rest separately.

By the way, it's not just cars. Basically most forms of road transport can be electrified. Everything from the largest mining trucks, long distance trucks, short distance delivery vans, garbage trucks, delivery vans, etc. Viable products already exist in each of those categories. We just need more of them. Making more will make them cheaper and even more viable. The main bottleneck here is production capacity.
I was in the hole about 3 years ago, I bought a book, some tools, and a couple of broken movements off of eBay with the thought that I’d just “ dive in and learn how they work “, but I stalled out. Without a set direction I found the space of things that could be wrong with my sample broken movement to be too large. Hell, I didn’t even know if all the components were there.

It’s something I’d like to get into, hopefully with some hand holding. I’m curious what resources you’re using, and if there’s some kind of loose curriculum to ease the beginning efforts.
IMO it isn't inherently immoral to select based on some correlate if it's also correlated with success, but I think it depends a lot on the details. How important is the opportunity, what is the typical acceptance rate, are there analogous opportunities that are selected for using different metrics, etc. I think YC is okay on this front - kind of like access to Harvard instead of access to higher education in general.

That's just my opinion, and it is a tough, subjective question. However I think where things often go wrong in practice is that the metrics aren't actually correlated with success, or are very weakly so! I am not familiar with the YC process, but my experience with selective applications in general is that institutions are slow to update their methods, and often don't really back up their decisions with data.

Of course it is an extremely hard problem to predict start up success in the first place, that's pretty much the whole YC business model. So they should have a lot more incentive to determine the metrics that hold some real signal than a university or even a FAANG does. Which makes me think there are legitimate reasons they ask these questions, but I do hope they've considered the tradeoff in how much signal is obtained versus how much bias may be introduced.

As a bit of an aside, this is why I like the idea of pushing for more diversity between institutions instead of just within. If different places were more meaningfully different we should see more diversity in metrics used and hopefully this would result in a fairer landscape across the population without needing to enforce overbearing rules on individual institutions. Of course that makes the assumption that a particular set of metrics won't end up naturally dominating, but I'm fairly confident in that. Different people thrive in different environments, and honestly the measurements we currently have are full of uncertainty anyway.

>what if the climate change was primarily driven by natural cycles?

What if climate change was perpetuated by giant sloths who want to drive humans to extinction? We can play the “what if” game and I think it’s important to keep an open mind in science, but to quote Walter Kotschnig, not so open that our brains fall out.

We can use a bit of Bayesian inference here. Given the current data, the probability of natural cycles (or ground sloths) being the root cause seems low. Given the potential risk, hanging our hat on that small chance seems like an irrational choice. Or a potential one that just reduces our cognitive dissonance so we feel better about ourselves.

I know there’s many people who bristle at the thought of any authority outside of themselves but that can become an epistemological bias in its own right.

Likewise, the comment adds very little to the discussion because the compliment can be said with equal validity.

Vintage soviet watches tend to be pretty thin, from what I've gathered. They also tend to be less well made/reliable than modern equivalents, and many of the ones you see on ebay are maxed out on their typical adjustments to stay reasonably in time.

That article is about rotating 2-D shapes on the z-axis (3-D plane).

An image of a cube in an HTML document will look like 3D without any transforms applied. However if you try to rotate that image on the Z-axis, it will warp, clearly showing that it is still a 2D object. There are other necessary aspects of 3D such as camera angles and dynamic light and shadows, but that's outside the scope of what you'd expect to be supported in the official CSS spec.

HTML and CSS don't support 3D shape manipulation and motion. WebGL is needed for that.
Testing. If you wanted to test that your compile-time code is correct, I'd imagine the typical--if not only--way to do that would be to compile it. Certainly that's true for constexpr in c++.
This is a great question! This was something I was stuck on for a long time.

I used to think this would be an extremely time-consuming thing that would be very annoying to learn. What really struck me is how easy this actually turned out to be. In fact tracking what you eat will save you time. Here's how.

People talk about "counting calories". But here's the problem with that: you can eat nothing but donuts throughout the day and stay within your calorie limit, yet it's still unhealthy. What gives? How do we know what is healthy and what isn't?

Enter macros. Calories in food are made up of three "macros", which are: fat; carbs; protein.

So just forget about calories. What you want to know is how many macros you need per day; how many grams of fat, grams of protein, and grams of carbs. The calories will work themselves out.

Okay, how do you find out? Super easy. You can use a calculator like this one: https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/macronutrients_calculator.h...

For me, every day I aim for:

154g Carbs

150g Protein

32g Fat

Now you might be thinking "Wow that sounds like a pain in the ass to track. How is it even possible to track that?"

There are apps that do this for you. My favorite app is called "Macros" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.josmantek.... and there are a lot of other good ones out there.

Here's how it works:

1. Look at your food nutrition label (for example, fat-free Greek Yogurt)

2. Find the serving size (170g) and enter that into your app.

3. Find the macros grams (0g Fat; 7g Carbs; 17g Protein) and enter those into your app.

That's it. Your app will now have the nutrition facts of that food item saved forever and you only need to follow this process for new foods / new ingredients. Over time, you will gradually build a library of foods you like to eat.

Whenever you're ready to eat, you select one of your saved food items like "Greek Yogurt", and it will simply ask you the weight of your food. Enter in any weight you want, and it will automatically calculate how many macros/calories it will provide you. If it's too much, adjust the weight down, and if it's too little then adjust the weight up.

Once you decide on the perfect weight / macros, then you use your food scale to get exactly what you need.

To wrap things up, this also saves you time because now it enables you to plan ahead exactly what you want to eat and how much you want to eat. When it's time to eat, you just open up your plan and follow the instructions, no more staring blankly into the fridge.

Thousands of other things also have carbon emissions: beef production for instance. Or deforestation -- while it doesn't have a positive CO2 benefit, it removes a CO2 sink. The fishing industry has massive CO2 costs that aren't from fossil fuels.
