I don't know if others share a similar belief as me about memory and understanding, but I see it as the following model:

Imagine your mind as a planet full of water (like earth) and some of its area is covered in land. There are asteroids flying into its gravitational pull and landing on the planet.

If the asteroid falls out completely out in the water then it will drown. If repeatedly a lot of asteroids fall in the middle of the ocean around each other, they may be able to become an island.

If it falls on the continent it becomes part of it, if it falls close to the continent then it also becomes a part of it, provided there is a connection to the continent.

The continent represents our mind. The asteroids represent data. The connected part of the land represents our understanding (i.e information).

If you read a piece of information such as: "Mackresh Holdings own 21% of Yojing Lee Corp, and the right to coniunctis viribus."

This is an asteroid landing in the ocean, unconnected to any land, and is likely to drown (one way to avoid that is to keep landing more and more asteroids to the same spots, until it builds up into an island, this is what repetition based learning does).

On the other hand if these topics can be connected to your 'continent' (i.e the body of understanding), then its far less likely to drown. For instance (completely made up) if you learned that Yojing Lee Corp owns election machines of South Korea and Mackresh holdings is a company fully owned by Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook), and the right to 'coniunctis viribus' means the right to merge companies under Korean law.

Similarly if you learn that Mark Zuckerberg acquired stake in that company because he wants to connect FB to the election machines, and he wants to do that by merging the two companies, this arbitrary fact has been connected to your existing body of knowledge.

If it wasn't Zuckerberg but the fictional Korean business tycoon Woo-Jun Paik from some TV show then you'd lose this connection to this fact (and the information might be Lost more easily again) as it will become an island of its own. On the other hand if you learn that this TV show was 'Lost' (part of the Korean soap opera storyline), then it might make some connection again, and that island could be found again.

bear in mind, for most people there is no link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol.

Your digestion/body does not take food cholesterol and absorb it directly into your blood. So for example, cholesterol could be bad for you in your blood (heart disease), but still good or neutral for you in your food.
No it isn't the purpose doesn't change depending on external factors. The purpose is privacy, that is not deception.
So many python speed apologists. Yes, you can pour over your python code and given enough time and effort you can eek out another 25% improvement, but it's still much slower than the alternatives.
My first job doing software was in 2013 with a university - it was a student specific position. I had pretty low confidence in my ability to negotiate, had lost my previous IT job, and just wanted this job to break into software because I couldn’t get an internship. So, when it came to them asking how much I wanted, I asked for $0.25 more than what my last job was. So, $14/hr. He came back with, “why not $15?” At that point I realized I probably could’ve gotten 20-25. Felt like a complete idiot - should’ve done some digging around before that point but I didn’t. I’m still terrible at negotiating but mostly because I interview with too many companies that aren’t competitive with pay. I’m at one that’s more competitive now.

Not surprised to see Ellen Pao's voice in here, who continues to do a disservice to women everywhere by blaming any situation where a woman fails on sexism.

If anything, the rise of Holmes was specifically enabled by the fact that Silicon Valley wanted a "female founder of mythical proportions" so badly that they overlooked some obvious red flags early on.

The internet is already widely interoperable. But some efforts of late make it less interoperable, and less able to route around problems in the network.

The obsession with HTTPS has to end. Not because of privacy, but because of interoperability.

DNS over HTTPS is not interoperable with the whole universe of existing DNS products. But what's worse, it's locking people into centralized platforms. With traditional DNS, you can move to any network at all, and automatically pick up a new local, fast, customized DNS catching resolver designed for the network you're on. If you're on DNS over HTTPS, you've always got the same provider, which does not scale to every network. The solution, people will tell you, is just to disable DoH. Until we no longer can, because everything expects to use it.

The obsession with HTTPS has also led to the apologists decrying any technical solution that doesn't use TLS 1.3 and HTTPS, because middleboxes!!!! And because literally everyone is reluctant to design new protocols that can be extended as successfully as HTTPS. If it doesn't work over HTTPS, it's not part of the modern internet. This not only severely restricts how you can design technical solutions today, it's stupid: we have this transport protocol with 65,000 port numbers, but we'll only ever use one of them (443), because a redesigned stack is just unfathomable.

Every modern network service today needs many things. Routing metadata, dynamic host/service lookup, federated authentication+authorization, encryption, geo-localized load balancing, error correction, session management, etc. If we build things like these into lower levels of the stack, and build primitives for them into the operating system, then all applications can gain their benefits, and we won't need to rely on convoluted hacks to provide it all.

We can't keep on for the next 100 years with the shitty protocols and shitty solutions we have today. We have to start thinking about brand new designs, and how we will upgrade systems to use them. Otherwise, every solution we come up with will just become more and more convoluted and ridiculous, as we build more and more on top of antiquated systems designs from 40 years ago.

Phone lines were pretty cool. We were able to extend them to transfer data, from 1400 baud to 1.5 megabits. We could technically do up to 50+ megabits, but it wouldn't scale. So we built new solutions. They were expensive, but we needed them in order to grow. Well, I think it's time for tcp/ip and its related protocols to be replaced as well. Not immediately, but it's time for us to start building the replacement.

That new replacement can take everything into account in a variety of new stacks. Federation of data, access, services; new kinds of encryption and privacy mechanisms, new trust models. New routing and service models to make the "last mile" less complicated and more flexible. And more responsive to network partition, including the ability to detect them early, to make applications more responsive.

We can do literally anything we want, people! We can start building the future today! But we have to choose to do it!
Ah! That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
Like with thispersondoesnotexist, the toons also tend to have severe problems with the ears. Nearly every one of them has an ear that blends into the background or is disproportionately unmatched.
> Not sure I agree to be honest. I don't think most developers should know how to run K8s, but I think most developers should know how to run their code on K8s.

This is silly. Most devs have too many other things they know they don't know, to also add on something like kubernetes.
to add on top of this, we *really* need players like media, institutions, and government to start adopting ActivityPub and to have those groups start spinning up sites which pump out communication onto this system.

This could look like a WordPress blog with the ActivityPub plugin installed.

It could also look like the incumbent social media services white-labeling their websites so orgs can be social from their own domains.

Groups I'm talking about are your newspapers, cable news channels, fire departments, colleges, heads of state, et cetera.
Honestly this seems to be common for GANs in general. Though I don't think most people have looked through CelebA. But if you are lazier, you can scroll through thispersondoesnotexist and you'll find essentially celebrities with similar characteristics to what the OP is saying. More so, you actually see better quality images the closer to a celebrity they look (you see the same thing in the tune version here). I do think ADA is typically worse than the typical StyleGAN2, but that's the tradeoff you get with a smaller sample size (worse because people are training it on smaller datasets so more memorization).
> Not saying anything about this particular case

Yes you are.

The pattern is always the same. When an invasive technology or a precursor to an invasive technology is announced, someone on HN sagely points out that everyone should be reasonable and drop the conspiracy theories.

Five years later the tech is on everyone's phone.
Why do so many instantly go to the false dichotomy of "accept new job" vs "be unemployed".

The vast number of people changing jobs don't leave one before securing another.

And even if you're unemployed, it doesn't change the negotiating power, just the relative value of your personal choices. Ie job1 vs job2 or job1 vs unemployed.

To blame the lopsided value of the latter on negotiating power is to grossly misunderstand negotiating tactics.
Just measure the amount of time spent on various social media apps...

Great insight, it is monotonous but it really helps to be in the flow for a few hours of productive work.
What you are describing is definitely heavier than what I'm describing.

And I disagree it should contain those things. In the XP tradition story cards (which are conceptually different than tickets, but I'm fine with either term) are tokens for conversations. The more documentation you add, the more it drives people away from conversation. As you say, when people need something, they'll ask. And I think that's a strength, not a weakness.

Yes, because the type of research that would have led to covid-19 was public health research, not weapons research. Gain-of-function research is done to help learn about pandemics so we can prevent them.
That... Right there.

That's Empire building/colonialism right there. There is no ambiguity, no justification, and no misunderstanding it. That is a group of people organizing to displace and disenfranchise the native residents of another place for policy and political gains. This is how you divide a country. This is how you provoke civil unrest. This is how you shove a wedge in interstate relations.

If you honestly endorse that type of activity; you are so far from a countryman of mine that I cannot even articulate where you "jumped the shark" politically and culturally speaking, and it is my sincerest hope no one ever takes you seriously. The architecture of States in the U.S. was always based on sovereignty, suborned to a federalized layer on top for the resolution of interstate conflict.

What you suggest would be nothing less than something capable of disrupting the freedom of movement in the United States as each state is pushed to defend itself from deliberate encroachment and political subversion by out of State elements.

On the one hand, maybe we'd finally break up the National political parties and get a more factionally driven federal level. More likely, there's be a crisis of Unity the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Civil War.

Washington was right. The only thing that could unmake the United States... Is the United States.
by definition a dog-whistle. something which can be innocently handwaved away by those not attuned, but sends a clear signal to those capable of reception.
> if you sign into Google in incognito mode, then your browsing history will be tracked by Google across both the normal browser and incognito mode.

It'll track your searches on google.com, but not browsing history. Browser history is a function of signing into the browser, and you can't sign in an incognito window.
> other Google products are still tracking you. That’s how internet is designed to work

The internet was not designed to track us. Unfortunately, we've allowed it to happen.
As a counterpoint to everything here, the Apple Watch just saved a friends life by telling them they were in AFib.

How to make housing more affordable
Billions of dollars have been invested into ARM. It's truly amazing that RISC-V has advanced as far as it has in spite of the competition being so much more mature and developed. My expectation is that RISC-V will become significantly more competitive as the rate of investment increases. For ARM and x86, the iterative cycles between releases of technology are shorter and faster. It will be exciting to see RISC-V when it achieves that state.
> The entire lawsuit revolves around the idea that incognito ("private") browsing somehow implies that users aren't tracked at all, despite a clear, front-and-center warning that they still might be whenever you use it, purely based on the name alone.

One problem is that Google's Incognito Mode says this:

> You’ve gone Incognito ... Your activity might still be visible to: Websites you visit, Your employer or school, Your internet service provider

It isn't some ambiguous "websites" that are tracking you in Incognito Mode, Google is tracking you on those websites (Google Analytics, etc.) and providing some of that data to the website owners. Users don't understand how the Internet works, and it's misleading for Google to imply that it's only someone else that is doing the tracking.
Good program, but that website is really hard to read.
Don't all browsers handle incognito/private browsing in this way? From my pov they cloud not really do it any other way as long as pulling out tabs into their own or other windows is allowed.
Or it’s not detected. They’re trying to avoid being blocked anyway.
janet is a lot like guile, chicken scheme in that the authors go as far as building out support for the core language, but little else. is lisp/scheme so cool that I want to use a language with no libraries?

My first 'defense' was just moving off of port 22. I had planned other things, but to be honest, the attempts went from hundreds a day to zero, so I never bothered doing more.
So if you don't like the history of the currency, scrap it entirely and start over. That seems like the opposite of the point of Blockchain.
I believe parents and teachers are power trippers, and full of bull feathers, and putting the future of a free state at unnecessary risk. Part of freedom is actually having it. You never know the value of it until you are on the precipice of losing it. Kids need privacy. Parents need to build trust with their kids and be willing to extend them the benefit of the same liberties we enjoyed growing up.

As an Administrator, my job is not to be the narc on your kids to you. I am not the Panopticon. I am the Operator. I will teach them if I notice something in need of being taught from privileged access to the state of my system. That's about it.

Would you elaborate ? And highlight what makes the Bible a self-help book and why similar and older written texts don't qualify ?

Not getting into a theological debate but in the context of the Bible help is usually considered to come from outside the self. (although there are interesting conversations to have about that)
Never too late to start. I have lots of books that I've collected over the years, but I've had several portions of the collection "dispersed involuntarily" for various reasons. :D

To be surrounded by books of your own choosing is nice. It doesn't have to be a lot though. Just having a stack of nice books near your bed that you like or believe you will like is usually enough.

I am a firm believer in tsundoku.
I've tried to check why it was said by the CL folks, but I'm only seeing that they feel it's not a Lisp because it lacks cons cells, which I find a very weak argument, since cons cells are an implementation detail in my mind.

The syntax and semantics are clearly similar to that of Lisps before it, and so is the feature set enabled by that very same syntax and the very same semantics. In that sense if Janet had to be the dialect of something else, I don't see what else but being a dialect of Lisp it could be.

And I don't think Janet is different enough in syntax and semantics to be given its own new family of language.

Anyways, those debate are kind of for fun and games, cause it doesn't really matter, but I think the description you could give to someone else who's asking: What's it like? And if you say, it's a bit like programming in any other Lisp, well you'd be giving them a pretty good idea of what it was like, unless they'd never programmed in any other Lisp either, then you're going to struggle, because there's not a whole lot like Lisp.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use a density based model and then describe some hull centered around your original creation?
Not sure how true that is. I’m relatively depressed … I don’t spend much money as I can’t be bothered.
This is reasonably idiomatic Python and 10x faster than the implementation in the original post:

with open("orthocoronavirinae.fasta") as f:
text = ''.join((line.rstrip() for line in f.readlines() if not line.startswith('>')))
gc = text.count('G') + text.count('C')
total = len(text)

Or if you want to be explicit, this is just as fast (and might scale better for particularly long genomes):

gc = 0
total = 0

with open("orthocoronavirinae.fasta") as f:
for line in f.readlines():
if not line.startswith('>'):
line = line.rstrip()
gc += line.count('C') + line.count('G')
total += len(line)

I didn't test Nim but the author reports Nim is 30x faster than his Python implementation, so mine would be about 3x slower than his Nim.
Can you please explain in more details why do you think this is bad?

Right now, both careful drivers and aggressive drivers pay the same amount for insurance, which means that careful subsidize aggressive ones. Tesla scoring separates those groups and promotes more safer on the roads.
They average age of the team is 25 I'm 37. Am I a better person because I'm old or experienced? No.

I'm sorry if sound condescending about them, is my enthusiasm on knowing I can help, recently I help them scale basic infrastructure without expending more money, I also know the same stack of tools they manage so I have also enthusiasm to solve
Problems they have because I had them in the past

When I say I don't want to replace the CTO is because that was something offer to me, but as I said even if is not experienced he is far a better CTO than me, I'm a programmer a developer he has a vision and care about the product.

Again sorry about sounding condescending I will pay attention to my writing.

Thank you for your time and effort on your reply it is helping getting better at articulate my intent
Why is that necessary?

My router reboots only when the electricity is cut. So many weeks or even months between each reboot.

Wi-Fi works, Ethernet works even better, and I have some Automobilista (videogame) servers open to the world.

It is a big issue if my IP changes, so I am very aware of all these things.

Still, no reboots needed.

Do you have some tips on doing good writings? It's something I'd like to improve on but I haven't seen it done really well so far. If you have any recommended resources for learning more, I would be interested to dig in.
As someone who started in the DOS/Windows world, both GDB and (especially) LLDB feel very awkward to use and those screenshots show a few good examples of why: in DEBUG/WinDbg/cdb the command to show the registers is simply 'r', and more than one register is shown on a line so you don't have to scroll up and down to read them all. No "0x" prefixes adding noise everywhere since the default is hex, nor extraneous '*' needed when setting breakpoints. A disassemble ('u') command that does what you expect instead of complaining (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39016138/how-to-force-gd...). LLDB is even more verbose and perplexing. I could go on and on, but all these little things add up to make debugging with them extremely irritating. There's a classic quote about GDB being written to make you think twice about introducing bugs in your code, and I think whoever said that has a point...
It's all in the name- lisp : LISt Processing.

That said, I am not such a purist as to be bothered by it, and janet has a special place in my heart right along with chicken, racket, clojure and CL.
I do one on one 5-15-min zoom meetings when I need to clarify things that need clarification after 1-2 text exchanges. Super useful to look at the thing together and align mental models in real time.

Other useful formats - look at work together with stakeholders and get instant feedback + clarification questions.

For almost anything else, meetings can be a time waste. Some communications do not require full bandwidth exchange but where tone is important, an efficient meeting can be a timesaver.
I think there's certainly a good enough point, yeah. But last time I was on a CalTrain platform, their TTS announcement still couldn't pronounce CalTrain, unless it's expected to be pronounced call train.
Interoperability needs to be brought all the back to the protocol. Force ISPs to give people static, public IP addresses. Then the tech industry has to build local-first, P2P apps, and what was once a dominant social network is now just another interface competing with features people actually want.

What is broken about the internet is that we don't have our own addresses, like in real life. (Cue security red-scare and condescending technical types who think it's too complicated for the user.)
