Don't know why you are getting downvoted and people are getting emotional.

I have family members who work in compliance. Everything is fair game for surveillance. I know of someone who got fired for accidentally uploading his whatsapp chat history via work email (this is how chat history backup used to work) and they got fired from JPMorgan for having references to drugs.

You can choose not to work for companies like this (indeed I have always fully owned my machine at work) but you're just kidding yourself if you think bigco aren't monitoring everything you do.
That's the very definition of concern trolling.

I know Ukraine got the shorter stick

I don't think so. It's probably a propaganda of the new independent Ukraine government since 1991. Many of my relatives are stuck on Ukraine now because they moved there during USSR times because life there was better. They'd be happy to return to Russia, but they're old and they are citizens of Ukraine and if they sell their property in Ukraine, they'd be unable to buy real estate in Russia, so it's almost impossible for them to return. And they regret that dearly because of politics of nazism and poor state of economy.

Not all republics in USSR were equal, but differences weren't as big as they're now. And contrary to what current propaganda says, most prosperous republics were Baltic republics and Georgia. USSR was investing a lot of money in those republics to buy loyalty. You can find numbers in the USSR statistics. For example, USSR paid more for milk from farmers in Baltic republics than it cost in the grocery shops.

It was a big mistake to invest in those countries. Now they hate us the most despite all that effort and money poured there by Russia.

Although there are some interesting exceptions, like the Hispanic Paradox: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic_paradox

In America, Hispanic people have lower income than non Hispanic whites, but better health and life expectancy. Possibly they just have a healthier culture - less sugary diet, stronger community ties etc - that overrides the difference in income.

This rocket analogy falls flat because the languages that have been used to build the most scalable and/or complex systems of today are usually the boring ones (c/c++/Java/python/ruby/JavaScript).

Linux, llvm, Android, iOS, git, cPython, numpy, etc, etc. From operating systems, to compilers, to scientific computing, to literal rocket control systems, it’s mostly boring C/C++/obj-C/Java.
Can you comment on why is there always a drive towards lower voltage? And how this impacts design. A nieve take would have thought higher voltage would equate to less loss to heat. But then with a higher voltage I guess those transients become relatively bigger?
I had to look up which came first the "Automated Mathematician" or the "Allied Mastercomputer".

I've had an eerie feeling every time Lenat's name came up because I read about Cyc in some popsci magazine decades ago, and then it remained in obscurity, but the last I heard of it, it was still being worked on.

It's the sort of thing you think - is there no publicity because it was a dead end, or because it worked too well to let just anybody mess with it?
A former girlfriend of mine used to work in the archival department of the BBC, which covered content and legally sensitive communications. They had big archives and their system worked; their biggest problem was educating new employees throughout the organisation, a vast bureaucracy, to use the system: that's a compliance issue, not a technical issue.

You're missing "at a price that most companies are willing to pay" in there.

Yes, this would work. Hard to reason about LP solvers in complexity notation, but would probably be pretty quick.

You could also construct a graph, where every price is a node. Start at 0.00, and do a BFS until you find the desired price. Worst case scenario O(n) where n is the desired price. Could be optimised by using a path finding algorithm like A*, its heuristic would make it try a greedy algorithm at first and then do a more complex solve at the end.

Another possibility is by memoization (dynamic programming). Strictly worse than the graph algorithm in complexity terms, but in practice your computer is very good at working sequentially on a very big array of booleans.

Really many different approaches to solve this problem. In this specific case greedy worked as well.

Not being a native English speaker or writer, I can't judge whether I made myself understood with my ramblings, har har.

HN is something of an experimental or practice field that I've been using lately to express ideas in a foreign language.

Sometimes thought thrive on happy little accidents in communication.

As I understand it, dualism refers to the manichean notion (sic) that mind and matter are two categorically different things that somehow interact.

I found both your and GP's comment very interesting. The one thing that drives me crazy about nutrition is that everyone is literally saying exact opposite things. It makes it impossible to know what is actually right. It's crazy to me how little we actually seem to know about nutrition.

I don't get the same feeling from other areas of study. Most physicists seem to agree on pretty much everything besides the super new, cutting edge discoveries. Same with engineers, chemists, etc.. But in nutrition it's the exact opposite. Google "is milk good for you" and you'll get equally convincing arguments for "yes" and "no". And that's the story for almost any nutrition based question.

It seems like the only option for a non-expert like myself is to just kind of wing it and try to eat vegetables and whole grain, and avoid things like sugar. But if there is one area in life that would be worth hyper-optimizing, I'd have to think it would be eating insanely healthy. It just doesn't seem feasible because I'll spend 10 years eating "healthy" only to discover that what I was eating is insanely bad for you.

Why is it so hard to figure out exactly what I should be eating? Especially since billions of us are doing it, and have been doing it for thousands of years.

The point of his speech is that you need to be willing to always look at a situation from outside your current perspective, and be willing to continue growing, learning, and upgrading your current beliefs and viewpoints in order to be able to reassess and potentially solve your problems, goals, life and ambitions.

The point of the speech from my readings/listenings are not what you've described above. To me, for all the pithy quote-worthy snippets in this talk, the most important line is the explicit suggestion in the second half of this sentence (emphasis added):

>The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.

For all the worthwhile ideas Wallace puts forth in this speech, I've long thought this the most valuable and unrecognized one.

Want to know what your water looks like? Truly care for others.

There's no atheism; we all worship. Then worship such that you benefit others.

Think your world is too much routine and drudgery? Just try to understand what those around you are enduring.

Believe you're educated and know how to think? Try doing it on behalf of others.

The mind is a terrible master, so get outside those walls and try to understand the mind of someone else.

"That is real freedom."
The second point is very interesting, thanks! TIL

Not true, the coil emits its own radio waves which are exactly 180 degrees phase shifted with respect to the radio tower. Destructive interference could be measured behind the coil, even when not exactly in its shadow.
For most healthy people, salt is not problematic, your kidneys do a great job of maintaining your blood salinity.

However, if you have kidney disease, or if you have genetic mutations that cause you to retain salt (as is, apparently, common in certain subpopulations), then too much salt really messes you up.

In population studies, this averages out to "excess salt is moderately bad for you", but the distribution of "how bad" is really shockingly bimodal.
You can argue against someone's beliefs without using such unnecessary appeals against someone's "stunted mental faculty".
> yeah, I could let you write this in something more reasonable, say Ruby or Python, but programmers for those languages are expensive, PHP programmers are much cheaper, and I'm going to be hiring more people to help you

It sounds like the exec made the right choice. PHP is a wildly successful language that powers an obscene portion of the Internet web apps.

That’s not a “bad” language, it’s just an annoying one for engineers to work with. A bad language would be one with so little adoption and such a steep learning curve that hiring new software engineers is a year-long path to expanded productivity.
How does it compare to Artemis?
I can't speak generally about all of Facebook because I don't know, but I can say that there are many surfaces on Facebook's products where people widely believe that shadow banning occurs, when in fact it does not, at least not in the way you're describing.

Generally what is perceived as shadow banning is just algorithms learning that the poster has low engagement, so it ranks their posted content (comments, posts) lower in the future.

I had been using Windows since 3.0:

Windows 2000 was that stable, professional sweet spot for me, even at times NT 4. Zero fluff, relatively consistent experience, and little visible intergenerational technology accretion. The 2000 scheduler felt reasonably predictable and crisp, like how BSD on a workstation did compared to Linux, for the longest time. Unpredictable interface latency is a dealbreaker for me.

I never noticed too much of a stability difference between 2000 and XP, but I really disliked the fluffy chrome overlaid on the XP user shell.

As long as we are talking nostalgia, yes, I do miss some extremely consistent UI paradigms from Windows 3.X days (being able to productively drive the shell with a keyboard only though the ALT key accessors). Interface elements were extremely differentiated visually. (Seeing my father trip up on a high-investment hallmark of a touchscreen phone app, because the native widgets were flat and lacking visual differentiation this week was beyond painful. I do not like the direction of modern interface design is heading.)
Have you ever considered that in doing this you've made it harder for said individuals to realise the error in their ways? Placing people inside echo chambers (involuntarily or otherwise) only allows said views to fester, potentially leading to something more dangerous.

You were one of the people who had a comment edited in that 1 hour period mentioned in that news article?

Or are you saying there was a different comment editing incident? If so, that would be big news. He promised not to do it again, so if he did, he's breaking a promise, and I think that would be pretty newsworthy.

You keep saying this as if all potential future employers already know everything about you and specifically want to avoid it.

You know what you do with legacy/niche tech that isn't interesting to most employers? You can _leave it off your resume_. (Which is not to say you shouldn't include your experience with ECM platforms - there are multiple extremely large, well-paying tech companies in that domain, or in domains where that kind of experience is valuable to them!)

Do you know literally any mainstream language? Java, C#, C++, Python, Javascript, Ruby, Go? Congratulations, that's enough to both get you interviewed and also a prerequisite to being able to pass those interviews.

Here's how you see something better: you go to LinkedIn > Jobs > Search: "Senior Software Engineer", Location: "Remote". Every single result will pay more than what you're currently earning, sometimes by integer multiples. Some of them won't even rely on Leetcode-like questions for their interviews, though you should still absolutely spend ~50-100 hours practicing (though 20 hours is probably enough to get a handle on the most critical stuff, i.e. common string/array manipulations, tree traversal, etc). If you think it's not worth spending 50 hours to increase your lifetime income by millions of dollars, that's obviously your call, but it'd be the depression talking, not a sober evaluation of the trade-offs, or whether you can even find 50 hours somewhere (you can; if you didn't have some slack somewhere, then some random happenstance would've knocked your feet out from under you over the last year or two, and since that hasn't happened that means you have non-zero buffer).

If you want I will personally help you tailor your resume to be attractive to recruiters and hiring managers while being completely honest about your experience and competencies. Feel free to email me: comp_throw7@protonmail.com.

It's probably bad if you're living paycheck to paycheck and you're struggling to get by. Then on top of already extremely high gas prices they increase further. On top of prices for everything else going up and the value of the dollar going down. Sure, it's probably a bad thing altogether.
There are no wired communications in our neighbourhood and burglars have been using these for a long time to disable alarm systems. They use broad spectrum ones because alarm systems use anything from radio, wifi, 2g,3g,4g,5g to send info and contact the authorities. Some people have put up jammer detectors hooked into the sirens; it cannot call the police so then better make more noise.
Don't work too hard at work so that you have some energy left afterwards. (easier said than done)
Sure but you have to already have high blood pressure for that to be an issue. It would take time and a diet very high in salt to cause high blood pressure alone.
I agree with you in principle - my comment was just that for anything except the smallest jobs, it would probably be more economical to get some dedicated hardware to assist the worker.
Not in the Gulf of Mexico if the reason for the spike is the increasing frequency of major hurricanes and tropical storms. Last year, hurricanes Zeta, Delta, Sally, and Laura all disrupted offshore oil production in the Gulf.

> Category theory, as an example, has many more practical applications and leads into arithmetic.

Now this is a sentence I never expected to read.

I aheb thought before about the fact that derivatives are a much simpler and more useful concept than exponentials and logarithms, but I very much fail to see how category theory is useful for anything other than researching the foundations of math.
joebiden.info is allowed currently, but thedonald.win is blocked currently.

If you want me to screen record the blocking of thedonald.win I can, but I'd rather not screen record my FB messenger page because there's private information there, and editing that out of the screen recording would take some extra work.
I would suggest blocking and selectively editing messages is different.

Conversation on messenger is multiple messages, blocking would be preventing entire conversation. Removing some messages selectively changes meaning of other messages

Generally speaking only US law enforcement has the right to enter a home, and they usually need a warrant to do it (or "probable cause")

old people use hard pillows, and hard bed. My parents still prefer hard mattress, a soft mattress will hurt their back the next morning. Their pillows are filled with seeds. But my grandparents in rural area in old days, use a hardwood pillow. It is something they are used to I guess. I don't think hard pillows are comfortable, but we humans can get used to anything. I cannot imagine to live without hot showers, but people having been living for thousands of years without hot showers.
