When you're building an AI you may not need the neurons involved with, for example, breathing. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not a neuroscientist so I don't know for sure whether all the neurons we use for muscle and organ control do double-duty to help us cogitate.

I remember when you had to register Quicktime for a code to unlock features in it.
This is such nonsense that I can't let it go unremarked. I can count on the fingers of zero hands the number of times 1Password has shipped a "new feature" between major releases. There are no new features needed, it's a password manager. However, I would need to borrow some extra hands to count the number of features you've removed, features that loyal paying customers of many years depend on. 1P7 doesn't even let you keyboard navigate to the Generate Password button for goodness sake - something that I was able to do in every version up to that point.

Absolutely nothing about any decision AgileBits has made in the last 4 years has had anything to do with what customers (that's us, the people that used to give you money) want, and everything to do with nickle and diming the suckers dry.

UI consistency between different operating systems is NOT a user-focussed feature. When I'm on a Mac, I want my apps to behave like a Mac app. When I'm on Linux, I want my apps to behave like a Linux app. If you _actually_ believed that all apps should look and behave the same on any OS, why does the Android version look and behave nothing like the Mac app?

You've removed features with every major release, and this is just smashing the final nail into 1Password's coffin. You've ruined what used to be the best password manager on any platform.
what's also interesting is non-neuronal computational abilities. Allosteric regulation on receptors chained together seem like they have computational abilities. And they're on all sorts of cells

In 2011 a new Bitcoin exchange called Bitcoinica launched.

I deposited 100 BTC to test it out.

First thing I did was to try to withdraw negative 100 BTC.

It sent me 100 BTC, but instead of a zero balance in the exchange, it said I now had 200 BTC.

So then I withdrew a negative 200 BTC, and it sent me 200 BTC and increased my exchange balance to 400 BTC.

I contacted the owner and returned the funds and he sent me a 100 BTC bug bounty.

Was entering a negative number in a web form "hacking"? Should that be illegal?

> A biological neuron is 6e17 Daltons[0], so on the order of quadrillions of atoms

You may be implying there could be information stored in all those atoms, but I'm not sure that's possible. We live in a thermal bath, this means the behavior of atoms is usually stochastic. Their position cannot reliably hold information without dispersing it rapidly into the thermal environment. One way to get around this is to form chemical bonds, like in the DNA, where some kind of order or position is stable. But it necessitates this chemical structure, and importantly it necessitates as well a chemical reading mechanism and a chemical writing mechanism (or some kind of kinetic activation). Most parts of a cell are not prepared for any of that as far as I can tell. Information really should be carried by discrete elements such as neurotransmitters, as well as continuous but temporary (unstable) elements such as electric impulses (potentially caused by complex responses to electric potential and current inside the neuron). Even in the electric case, the fact about information stands; electric state is also encoded in atoms.

In other words, we almost certainly don't need the full fidelity to reproduce the behavior of a neuron.

I would need more rigorous examination of the neuron to give a confident estimate, but as a rule of thumb the concentration of relevant information everywhere is much less than DNA's (and mostly negligible everywhere) -- certainly a very interesting research program.

From a quick googling, E. Coli DNA has about 4.6 x 10^6 bp, so I would be reasonably confident in an upper bound to neuron information as (volume of neuron/volume of e. coli) x 5 x 10^6 bits (i.e. 1 megabit, 125 kb). The reality is probably much less. DNA is so dense because the reading and replication time is relatively slow. It's not made for rapid, random access at the speed of thought.

If I were to guess, I'd say long term information is probably retained within the concentration of compounds that can be read electro-chemically. The question of information then is how sensitive the neural system as a whole is to differences in concentration and differences in timing and amplitude of neural impulses. Again given thermal noise in the brain and limitations of amplitude, you can give strict upper bounds on neural communication (I'd be surprised at sensitivities more than a few ppm).

So essentially

1 neuron <= log2(distinguishable chemical state) (memory)

And also

1 spike <= log2(electrical degrees of freedom) (bandwidth)

Again, I'd require more information on spikes, but they carry maybe 20-40 bits at most -- so not more than a double f.p., although in ANNs again because of low sensitivities due to architecture most of LSB information doesn't contribute significantly to the computation (whereas the brain could multiplex information more effectively). So it's still likely in the order of 1 spike <= 10 flops.
Breaking the Web Forward
I find handles and other bolded text are objectively difficult to read. Take a look at a bolded 'e' for a prime example; there is not enough whitespace, and the horizontal line is too thin, making it all but disappear in the middle of the bold curve.
> It only recorded at one speed.

In the beginning, yes. As time went on, Beta also offered three speeds (Beta I, II, and III) exactly as was offered by VHS and their three speeds.

Maximum recording time for Beta ended up at 5 hours on a single cassette (L830 cassette and Beta III speed). The L750 cassette was more commonly available, it recorded 4.5 hours at Beta III speed.

Of course, VHS's physically larger cassette always allowed it to have a somewhere longer recording time at every step of the competition.

Edit: Add link to Wikipedia page for Beta tape lengths and recording times:

That is literally what that means. Market caps are what they are because everyone who thinks it is worth less has sold and everyone who thinks it’s worth that or more will buy. There’s some outliers but in general these coins are trading their entire market cap over the course of maybe a month or less. Liquid generally means short term, if you can sell it for cash in under a year then it is liquid. Sure if you tried to sell all coin today in the same minute you won’t find a buyer but over a month this happens all the time.

> Can someone explain to me why HN is so anti-crypto?

Short answer: Crypto has been touted as a primarily technological advancement (blockchain!) while the primary use case for most crypto proponents is simply getting rich (flipping coins or spreading "HODL" encouragement).

Imagine if Venmo had launched with the requirement that all Venmo transactions had to be performed with VENMOCOIN instead of dollars. To transact on the Venmo platform, you had to buy some of this VENMOCOIN from the founders or early adopters, funneling your real money to them in exchange for tokens you could use on the Venmo platform. The VENMOCOIN early adopters really, really want you to use Venmo so the price of their VENMOCOIN goes up, so every online discussion gets filled with people talking about how amazing Venmo is and how it's the way of the future and everyone should buy as much VENMOCOIN as possible.

Sound ridiculous, right? That's more or less what the crypto discussions have become: People pretend to talk about technology but it's really about getting rich by flipping coins and pumping their value.
I had clueserver.com for a while in the 90s, but never did anything with it and it lapsed.
MathML is the only accessible option. Screen readers work with it.

Tools like KaTeX output both HTML and MathML simultaneously (HTML for rendering, MathML for screen readers), leading to massive page bloat. MathJax requires client-side JS to look good, which is a big 'no' for me.

Right now, there is no way to display math on the web that: (1) is accessible, (2) works across all modern browsers, (3) is not slow or bloated in some way. MathML in Chrome fixes basically all these problems.
the comparison to installed capacity is interesting, but what really matters is a comparison to the projected supply from each of the sources, right? Was wind expected to be generating at 100% of installed capacity on those days, or was 15-30% in line with expectations?
Ask HN: Please explain this spam folder weirdness to me like I'm five
I asked in writing to be unsubscribed and this was ignored. So the next time I got email from this thing, I reported the email as spam and Gmail gave me a drop-down menu with the option to "report spam and unsubscribe" so I did that. I got another email from the same thing and again "reported spam and unsubscribed."

This morning I decided to check how to report abuse for the service in question. Their instructions said to forward the email in question to their abuse address.

I did that with an explanation of the situation. And I promptly got a "support ticket" reply but I couldn't find my sent email in my outbox.

I found it in my spam folder and Gmail was telling me I had reported my outgoing email as spam.

So I clicked "this is not spam" so I could have a record of the outgoing email. And it removed BOTH emails from my spam folder.

This seems not right. I want the incoming email listed as spam because it is.

But why would you list my outgoing forwarded email as spam just because I forwarded it from the spam folder?
And why can't I uncouple the emails?

I don't follow the logic here at all.
This piece was well ahead of its time. I don't think I can claim with a straight face that it could be written today without change, of course, but I am comfortable saying that if someone told me this was written in the 1960s that I would have a hard time proving them wrong. And that's not something most stories from 1909 can say.

And the changes necessary to bring it up to date even today are not that great, honestly. For instance,

"By her side, on the little reading-desk, was a survival from the ages of litter — one book. This was the Book of the Machine. In it were instructions against every possible contingency. If she was hot or cold or dyspeptic or at a loss for a word, she went to the book, and it told her which button to press. The Central Committee published it. In accordance with a growing habit, it was richly bound."

would need some tweaking. Today we could be even lazier and simply ask for these things, in voice.

But all in all, well ahead of its time.

My name is Bob, I'm a full-stack developer. I built a SaaS product in the alternative finance space bringing the product from 0 to 1 single handedly before hiring my first developer. I've decided that I'm only concerned in becoming the best engineer I can be and I don't want the distraction of running a startup. I'm motivated, driven, flexible, and willing to wear several hats to help someone else's startup succeed. I'm singularly focused on building awesome web applications - mostly within the larger JS ecosystem.

I'm well versed in Alternative Finance, Business, Entrepreneurship, Startups, Investing, and I've personally employed over 400 people.

The reason I want to work for a different startup is because I'm tired of making business decisions. I want to focus on code, building products, and working collaboratively with a team.
