Often the biggest benefit is that the ML version is good at catching when the experts hadn't had their cup of coffee as well.

Most experts are like family doctors, they get the correct diagnosis 70% of the time. And even if you juice them up real good, they will ALWAYS lose 5% to human error.

The ML also hits the 70% mark, but it's a different 70%, so it'll fix 70% of the errors. Then you're batting at 0.91 instead of 0.70.

Except Facebook. Or another behemoth that felt they could weather Apple's wrath if it ever came to it. Or a company that Apple had granted special permission to do this, like they did with Uber.
Authentication using the blockchain makes a great AI-resistant alternative to signups with captcha. The same account could be used by multiple independent services and this removes the need for a signup process altogether. It also removes the need for password management since you can use a single account/passphrase to log into various services without revealing your passphrase to any of these services; you can simply sign a message to prove to any service that you control an account (and know the passphrase) without actually revealing the passphrase to any of the third party services.

Many laptop makers started to intentionally disable S3 for the "enhanced" S2. This was/is true of Lenovo as well: for roughly 6 months S3 was disabled completely on the then-new 3rd generation Yoga X1 laptops and Carbon counterparts. It was re-enabled thanks to linux user's uproar under the "legacy sleep mode" umbrella.

Why would you go as far as disabling it, is beyond me. S3 is the sleep mode I expect on a laptop. S2 sounds useful for tablet/phone behavior.

Hibernation doesn't of course suffer from this issue, and I never experienced this on any laptop with S3 sleep.

Of course, if you shut down your laptop and put it immediately in a bag, temperature will raise temporarily even if the system is off due to the inability to dissipate heat. You should be aware of this, and avoid immediately bagging the laptop just after rebuilding the kernel ;)
Gnome's UI really does suck.

Windows File Explorer sucks, too, just not nearly as bad. (Though I'd put it FAR ahead of the Mac's counter-intuitive and ill-named Finder.)

It's the 21st century - WHY, OH, WHY do we still have file managers that provide NO CLUE as to the size and number of files in a directory? Why are all presentations still list or grid-based? Why does it take so long to find files? Can't we save the hashes from the last search and update them periodically when the machine is idle?

I'll venture a guess: Because "real programmers" don't use GUIs for file manipulation, so they JUST DON'T CARE about making the most important UI next to the browser any better.
>Bitcoin is 100% censorship resistant.

... as is everything else? Other than governments declaring it illegal and intermediaries black listing it, I mean.
> the actual reason so many governments are speeding the push against crypto might be related to a future of high inflation and high gov debt

The reason why we have inflation and debt is to keep the value of our currencies stable. IE, if people want to use dollars, the US government can print more dollars to satisfy the demand. (And thus keep the value stable.)

Cryptocurrency's volatile value is a result of its inability to "print money" when more people want to use it.

Remember: Currency is not an investment. A good currency has a stable value over time; otherwise it's very difficult to conduct commerce.
> If there are people here that utilize the memory palace (or any other memorizing method): what do you put inside the palace?

Your memory palace won’t store information indefinitely. Not unless you keep reviewing it, at which point it might be best to instead consult your notes.

A simple use case is memorising a shopping list for an hour and letting it fade. In addition to utilitarian, it can be fun as a creative exercise because you invent interesting visual combinations.

I recommend the book “Moonwalking with Einstein”[1] if you’re interested in the subject.

With the M1 Macs Apple have done quite a lot to address these issues.

The M1 MacBook Air I’m using feels as reliable and cool as mid 2000 MacBook. Complete night and day difference to the hot mess which was my previous 2018 MacBook Pro.

I still wish Framework would scale faster and start selling the the EU today. But building a hardware company is slow and hard.
I've got a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 which doesn't advertise S3. It's a really nice machine, but having to wait several months after getting it for someone out there who understands these things to come up with the right combination of kernel code and ACPI patches so I could shut the lid and not have it just reset when I opened it back up again was something I could have done without. Fortunately it's got the capability, it just needed turning on.
Anecdotally, I know three people including myself who’ve had ASUS machines die on them right out of warranty protection, and I do not recommend them at all.

I'm not saying I agree, but GP didn't say the converse - the framing was 'cash is going ['on its deathbed'], and I'm not happy with the mainstream replacements'.
> People literally lived and died based on the things we accomplished in there.

IMO thinking that "having an impact will make me happy" is a fallacy, one of which bored corporate office drones often fell prey to.

As a counterexample, I present a biography of Jozef Czapski - an artist by calling, who became involved in setting up the administration for helping Polish citizens released from Gulags after 1941 (that's when Stalin became part of the anti-Germany alliance, and thus had to release Poles he put into Gulags earlier). It's interesting that his work never had greater impact (he was literally saving lives of thousands of people, who came to him starving, ill, without any money or a place to stay), but it was also the only time when he was seriously depressed. The work just didn't agree with him, he much preferred doing paintings, even if they had zero real-world impact.
That is a very myopic perspective. You are using a computer and internet that uses electricity that is produced using fossil fuels and all its components are produced directly of fossil fuels/oil and/or only able to be extracted from the earth by the use of fossil fuels.

You live in a house/home that was produced by the use of fossil fuels. Likely every single thing all around you wherever you are right this second is made of or with fossil fuels.

Plastics, the building, soaps, lotions, the table and chair, the lamps and lightbulbs, the cables, the microwave and oven/stove, the carpet/flooring, your clothing, any makeup you use, the toilet paper, deodorant, all your food (even produce), the packaging of your food, the preservatives that are used to feed you in your city that is so far away from food sources, … and on and on and on. … ALL use and made with fossil fuels.
I'm not sure why the market would react to this news. China is not an example to follow in just about anything these days.
Give me a break. Power consumption numbers are completely meaningless in this argument. Power usage does not correlate directly to CO2 emissions. Crypto can and does run on renewables. If we were serious about fixing climate change we'd stop all air traffic tomorrow. In reality, the climate issue is just a convenient political bludgeon.
Ah! I understand. I can use my controller one-handed if necessary and get a much better angle than staring down at my phone, but I typically don't have the neck/back problems that others do.

A lot of med students use the 8bitdo Zero 2[0] with Anki one-handed, but I believe a standard bluetooth clicker would be more ergonomic as it'll be designed for one-handed use.

For audio cards, you typically want a controller with 6 keys: 4 answer buttons, replay audio, and undo.

Native key remapping will be available in AnkiDroid 2.16. AnkiMobile (iOS) supports it, and there's various programs/addons for the desktop version.

There's a fair number of reddit threads with further opinions which should be helpful

I did a few hundred cs overwatch (it's a system where people with 150+ won matches can review suspicious behaviours reported by system/other users - https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/overwatch/) cases and 95% of them were people using Spinbots. You can write a program/script that parses demos and detects those in few hours (assuming you don't know how to parse a demo file). Why is this even a thing? I want to help them with fighting less than obvious cheaters but if almost everything I get can be automated by any 1st-year cs college student then what is the point?
This is interesting timing given what has been happening related to Evergrande. It is possible that the government is worried about money being moved out of the country, and cryptocurrency is one way of doing that.

You’re getting into implied relative privation here. Yes, bad things exist, and yes, they aren’t controlled in a way we’d like. That doesn’t excuse Apple and isn’t that relevant to an argument about Apple’s immediate responsibility for its errors.
Btrfs is flexible and works well for self-hosted home storage use cases, especially running cheap hardware & HDDs with mixed RPM + capacity specs (many consider it a major advantage over OpenZFS on Linux which inherits ZFS pros and cons). As far as data corruption is concerned, avoid using raid{5,6} profile (that governs how a chunk is replicated within or across a member device) for data and you should be fine.

Running OpenZFS on Linux also requires dealing with DKM(ES)S, Ubuntu being an exception (hmm)...

> what do you put inside the palace?

That's the question. You have to want to collect something. I tend to collect random connections between disparate things (i.e. the answer to an everpresent "how does this affect the price of rice on Sunday?"). The other side of it that complicates it all is that your brain works this way normally. The mind palace is just a frame you can use to access a particular subgraph of thoughts. Once you do it long enough, it becomes second nature and you realize your normal, undisciplined thoughts are just residents of a different palace.
Thanks for posting that. I hadn’t seen Jack’s pro-Bitcoin tweet, and seeing it here allowed me to like and share it.

To underline how preposterous the whole PoW is - BTC is mined by hardware that consumes 2000-3000W each, all the while vast majority of these machines never mine a single block
Yes, that is exactly how it works.
Is there a particular reason this has been posted today?
The last commit to it was in April.

It's a good list for sure, just wondering why it's popped up on HN
As someone who was really into CSGO, I can tell you the cheating just gets more subtle.

Up near LE/LEM ranks - no one is using the obvious hacks anymore. Instead it's things like a small autosnap radius for heads (ex: mouse within 3px of a players head? snap to head on fire), auto-recoil control, and map awareness hacks (4 went A, we go B)

It's a similar problem in Valorant - the goal of the cheater in the higher ranks is to get an unfair advantage with just enough of a cheat to leave the other players wondering if they actually cheated at all.

Hell - there are actually hardware cheats now - ex: mouse that will handle recoil for you in these games now.

It's destroyed my interest in the competitive FPS genre entirely.
I'm thinking the answer to such topics would be 'HN has large numbers of poster who are either smart and ethical, or smart, unethical, and not convinced the scam of crypto is safe to work on people for your personal gain'.

With China turning against bitcoin (regardless of their motivation), the latter category has even more reason to think cryptocurrency is a lousy way to fleece people for your personal gain. You don't have to be ethical to be against crypto, you can be a scammer yourself and simply be unsatisfied with the quality of the exploit being proposed.

"There is no future in this" is a fine reason to be against a thing even if you have no ethical qualms about exploiting people's foolishness. You have to be able to build a plausible case for why somebody ought to buy into it, and that just got observably harder.
> "formal mathematics" works on mathematical theorems and proofs after they are stated in a formal language, which in turn allows us to develop computer programs to assist in discovering proofs, verifying the steps humans enter, and certifying the correctness of any proof that can be so formalized.

Pretty much every math center ever have been doing 'casual math'. Formal math is specifically about using formal proof assistants extensivelly. Such an approach traditionally has been seen as too tedious and time consuming for most serious mathematicians.

Thinks pseudocode vs. actual working implementation.
Depends how much else is on your plate.

In a case like that you can document everything you know and hope you have more insight when the problem comes back.
> It's not strange at all that we can applaud an action of an authoritarian regime

But this is the authoritarian regime being authoritarian. HN isn't praising them doing something unusual, this is authoritarian China acting in its most normal manner. It wouldn't be surprising if Xi dictated this course of action either, although if he did I'm sure it was with support of China's wealthy elites.
If your time horizon is long enough, volatility shouldn't matter. Historically speaking Bitcoin is getting less volatile with every market cycle. I would not be surprised if in the future its volatility is comparable to the S&P500.

Why would any sane person invest in real estate? You have maintenance costs, property taxes, it's not liquid and you can go years with little growth. Not to mention if your area see's hard economic times (i.e. Detroit), the chance of a rebound is slim.

Won’t Android manufacturers hate it more in a couple of years?

Apple is known for sticking to one thing for quite a while, where Android manufacturers were free to experiment with all sorts of connectors, like that Samsung microUSB 3 one.

This cuts off one line of potentially differentiating your phone in the future for them.

Sure, for Apple it’s millions of dollars in MFI money, but it’s not like Android manufacturers won’t see any detriment in time.

I disagree. I think that the traditional split between block devices and file systems is a premature optimization that ZFS fixes.

Closing the lid has never worked for me on a Windows laptop, even the most expensiveness HP Elitebooks or Dell’a Latitude Pro or whatever. On my MacBook Air, it has never been a problem for 7 years.

It is one of the main reasons I moved to Apple, it is just so much more convenient not having to worry about it.
I've been involved with a few game projects and their developers. In general, everyone likes dealing with Epic because you can reach the actual developers quickly and they'll provide timely bug-fixes. Also, they are famously laid-back while your revenue is <$1 mio per game .. so most Indie developers experience them more as a charity than as a business.

Apple, on the other hand, is widely known as arbitrary, both on technical things and on what content or what games are allowed.

So if you tell a random game developer that Apple and Epic are fighting, most people will assume that it's Apple's fault because Epic has built up a lot of goodwill in that community.
Honestly, this is the reason why I think Google's Firebase (and accompanying Firestore database) is absolute gold.

Firebase handles all the complexity for you. You get a nice set of JS SDKs for auth, database, cloud functions, file storage and static hosting.

And the best part is how damn cheap it is.

No fussing with low-level Redis clusters or paying for things on the edge. It all 'just works' and it does it fast.

The test is whether that information can later be used to link to an individual. You might not have the information, but you might later be able to correlate it against someone who does, and that makes it personally identifiable and under the scope of the GDPR.

Here's a citation:

"If you cannot directly identify an individual from that information, then you need to consider whether the individual is still identifiable. You should take into account the information you are processing together with all the means reasonably likely to be used by either you or any other person to identify that individual."

Perhaps, but a brutally suppressed population doesn’t tend to be a very productive one.

Not saying it won’t happen, but I don’t think it’s a clear cut as you make it, and I think the CCP are smart enough to know that. They already do an astonishingly good job of treading the line between an authoritarian government that exploits it population for wealth, and one that empowers its populations for productivity and even greater wealth.
What's really important is that the elements of the dialog box all move around every few fears, so no one can get too familiar with it and expect to understand what they see at a glance.

I always feel that all these narrow laws are probably less effective than taxing the problem itself.

If we want less toxic waste, why not tax the sales of toxic stuff? This way, the manufacturers would not only produce less USB chargers, but a gazillion other things that can be reduced would be reduced as well.
Because the trust is distributed. One single person can't cause the entire system to break down or steal all them money. With blockchain coins, the incentives are aligned. The weird thing that happened with BTC that I don't think Satoshi could forsee is that the more valuable it got, the less usable it got. This is one of the unsolved issues: how to create decentralized consensus very very quickly that can't also be attacked via a PoW that is too easy.

> then those complacent middle class will start being less complacent and start demanding more freedom.

They will not start demanding more freedom (only a small minority will do that). They will become increasingly agitated and demand the kind of economic progress they had before, which the CCP won't be able to deliver (the easy, fast, low-debt growth has largely been saturated).

Specifically the CCP | people-of-China socioeconomic pact is based on the country continuing to deliver massive economic gains to the bulk of the population.

Xi has begun a new cultural revolution (just ahead of the curve) because he recognizes it's going to be required to stomp down on the population in order for the CCP to retain its position, as the easy economic gains are well over. The leadership of the CCP recognizes what's inevitable about their context: they either had to let go of power increasingly, or they have to become more totalitarian, as the growth pact begins to falter. What waits for China the next 30 years, is significant demographic erosion, slow growth and epic persistent debt problems (which doesn't mean they aren't going to be a superpower, they are).

Actually, for those who have a strong concern about user privacy, there have been strong reasons to use Apple. Just a few years ago (2016) Apple spent an enormous amount of money and reputation going to court against the US government arguing that guarding the privacy of their users even from the FBI was vital even in a case involving terrorism.

But this on-device scanning proposes to undermine that.
Yes. I couldn't. The alternatives were worse. I need remote banking (travelling too frequently). No alternative allowed plain login without a second factor.

I've seen other banks here _charging_ for the hardware OTP dongle separately. The yearly price of the dongle was more expensive than simply getting another crap phone and installing the app.
As the article mentions, murder rates rose across the country. And not many cities actually had official support, let alone took action, for defunding or restructuring police forces.

Honestly, blaming it on the "Defund the police" movement is a lazy oversimplification. Even if cops decided to patrol or investigate less because of that movement, I wouldn't expect a massive spike in the murder rate. Sure, people might pick pockets or rob houses if they think nobody's watching, but murder?
