My understanding is that the term 'metaverse' is just VR or Virtual Reality rebranded.
And the public raises pitchforks when one person in a castle controls too many of those mechanical creatures at once.
Around 1800 or so, you could order a box of insects from the colonies, spend time carefully describing each, publish, and in so doing, with comparatively minimal effort, be a scientist. But the low-hanging fruit has largely been picked now, and for non-scientists, the barrier to joining in, to contribute something meaningful, is so much higher now that it may appear that everything is now known. Indeed, the things that are not known are so far outside the realm of everyday experience that non-scientists aren't even aware of the questions anymore.

Interestingly, some companies have programs that let you experience being a 'citizen scientist' for yourself. As one example I'm aware of, https://taxonexpeditions.com/

> Activist investors are a small subset of all investors. Most investors are just out there to ride the business cycle to the top.

There is research on dual-class firms. "Excess insider control is associated with decreased overall [corporate social responsibility] ratings," with the "community and employee dimensions...display[ing] the strongest negative association with excess insider control" in firms not in "the top decile or quartile of firms with respect to their cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flow, and free cash flow" [1].

Outside the limited case of technology company founders and family-owned firms, the evidence is strongly in favor of investor-controlled companies over the alternatives in virtually every dimension of "better."

I mostly use playlists generated by this service https://everynoise.com/ (you can get to them with desktop client by pasting playlist links from the site to the spotify client search box.)

From the site:
"Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 5,646 genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2021-10-16. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier."

I personally think that an algorithm trying to learn my tastes and recommend music to me is the wrong approach... especially as the algorithm does not actually seem to care anything about the actual waveform content.

I feel I get get this strange "personal echo chamber effect" where I at least think I notice the effect of my past listening habits or the outsized weight of some stuff that was on powerplay some time ago. It gets hard to find new stuff or to learn to like new stuff.

This varies though, sometimes the recommendations are great. Perhaps they work best for me if I don't constantly follow or listen to them, but instead listen to playlists curated by humans or everynoise.com.
That example is too simplistic.

The root cause of working day and night is to maintain or increase your socioeconomic position so that you are able to obtain scarce (demand greater than supply) resources when you want to. This can apply on a tribal level (family all the way to country and alliances).

For example, large amounts of people around the world want avocados all the time all year round, but there are insufficient avocados to go around. How are the limited number of avocados allocated?
> Of course, some countries have seen far more deaths than others, but the statistics make it pretty clear this is because their populations are older and have more comorbidities

The statistics you cited make clear they are correlated. You can't infer causation without first considering why those countries have fewer comorbidities. E.g.,

> > The report found that every country where less than 40% of the population was overweight had a low Covid-19 death rate of no more than 10 people per 100,000.

It could be that the reason they have less overweight people is that they are more prone to follow health and nutrition advice in general, and this same propensity led them to also follow advice on avoiding COVID.

Looking at a US obesity rate map, there is reasonable correlation between high obesity rate states and states for which COVID has had high second and third wave death rates.

But there is also a good correlation between high death rate states and states where people are lax in taking preventative measures. That seems to be better than the obesity rate correlation. Florida, for example, is noticeably lower on obesity than the rest of the South, being more in line with most of the Northeast and the Northwest but is a leader in not taking COVID preventative measures, and has had terrible second and third waves compared to states with comparable obesity rates.
I argue that those things are a different skillset and don't have overlap with the previous examples.
I watched a video of a friend of mine who's become a semi-prominent Zen teacher. After a few moments of listening to one of his (rather lovely) pandemic/Zoom group meditations, it struck me that this was weirdly close to ASMR too -- intimacy, calm, human "touch". Philosophy too, yes, but the interpersonal dynamic is a mother cooing into your ear. I wonder if this resets you into some calm, receptive mood because that's an evolutionarily advantageous state to be in, and the cooing is a shortcut to it.
Whatever gets us closer to The Custodian [1]

The interesting thing to me is that this indicates that investors largely believe founder-CEOs are the best CEOs for the company, long term. That’s new.

I suspect that part of this is due to extended timelines to go public. Bezos never got another grant after IPO, but he owned 41% of the company at IPO. Today, it’s more typical for even successful founders to end up with 5%-15%. Taking dilution in the C/D/E rounds and going public at $3b is a different beast than going public after the B (with a huge ownership stake) and growing a public company from $60m to $3b. It makes sense that the successful CEOs who gave more away in dilution end up with end power to demand it back post-IPO.
Your first paragraph makes it clear you don't understand the basic tenets of the matter.

You should have stopped replying and learned how the systems in question work, they are not "magic".

FSD is not "machine_only"

FSD is a system that supposedly will give way to a "machine_only" solution, but currently is a human+machine system. You literally just watched it in action if you watched the video above.

Maybe not realizing this is the crux of your confusion.
I built a simple journal solution for myself two years ago. It sends an email every day and I can reply to it, and the response is stored in an SQLite database, in plain text. The db is on a remote server but copied to Dropbox every day (and in any case all the emails also exist in my sent folder).

It is surprisingly effective at storing not just what I did with my day, but random thoughts and ideas, solutions to bugs, etc. All I have to do is type something every day.

In 2 years I have typed around 150k words. For reading he whole thing is just one plain html page, searchable in the browser.

I'm currently experimenting with documenting my reading, while the book is being read (instead of a summary at the end). We typically forget what we expect while we read, and only remember the final impression. Taking notes at the end of each reading session, not just about what I just read, but also about what I think will happen next, and revisiting that later, is surprisingly interesting.
skin in the game, people in power don't face any consequences for their actions and in many cases are completely oblivious to what life is like for the average person. America is completely divided from one another, if somehow we could get people to "walk a mile in somebodies shoes", I think there would be a lot more empathy for workers.

How many Wall Street execs have had to go to the Rust Belt and see the consequences of their actions first hand? Instead they just call it flyover country and don't have to see it.

Same applies to Silicon Valley honestly, I know a therapist who works for Google and they struggle with the job because of how entitled most Google employees are. Vast majority of them have no clue how good they have it compared to 99% of the population
It looks like you're not read up on the ongoing discussion around this topic.
But as the name already implies, that one preferentially tries to match your files to the ones already available in Apple's music catalogue, with file upload only serving as a fallback if it can't find any matches.

And from what I've heard, the fingerprinting algorithm is fuzzy enough that it will often match songs/song versions that are very similar, but not actually identical, like censored/uncensored lyrics, different masterings, differing fade ins/outs, alternate takes and live versions, etc. etc.
This is huge even though there's law against gender determination in India. Unless people are educated or dowries are strictly made illegal this can't be stopped.
> if we had not already launched several nuclear reactors into space.

AFAIK, we haven't. What we have launched several of are RTGs, which other than using nuclear fuel, are a completely different technology, one which is much easier to completely shield. IIRC, there have even been cases where a rocket containing a RTG failed, and the RTG was found intact and could even be reused.
Touché. I now know what you meant with the previous reply. I used registries and registrar wrong in the previous comment.

In my project I was focussing on getting the organization information for specific IP ranges in my project. So I dealt only with NICs and RIRs (or ICANN directly as they bootstrap the ASNs) in that case.
Hardware quirk preservation have always been a MAJOR focus of emulators since they existed. Almost every console emulator has been iterated on by millions of people to produce emulation as accurately as possible.

The FPGA part is a really weird focus to me. From what I understand their emulation systems don't run as many games glitch free, as they don't have the same man power to recreate all of that in FPGA.

You can't copy out raw game consoles schematics into into it, you need to have an FPGA programmer re-make it and make sure every rom runs against it.

If anything, this shoots their "scholarly" claim in the foot from the start.

Rendering mode shaders usually require a bit of setup, but it's also been around for years. I think around 2005 is the first I heard of a good CRT shader that imitated pixel shapes, color signal blur, monitor curvature, etc.

I guess my main argument is, I could make a RetroPi in a few hours with every emulator, and every rom, and meet all of the marketing criteria with better settings. Including better compatibility.

Assuming they're trying to advertise to my market, why would I pay 50x the cost for an inferior product? Why wouldn't they start from where emulation enthusiasts currently are instead of way behind?
In this case it borders with an abusive relationship. Someone taking that a decade later and thinking about it that much is sad, as opposed to just thinking "I had a meeting and the person was such a douchebag".
Interesting, are there any articles you could point an amateur nuclear enthusiast at?
I just love this lady. Her letters are filled with a quirky, prickly personality that manages to remain businesslike. I wish she and Wright had ended up in a room together, with cameras running; their personalities would have been supremely entertaining to watch interact.
Define "against the rest of us". The whole point of earning "extra" money is to be able to lay claim to scarce resources. Inevitably, outbidding someone for something will be felt as using the extra earned money against them. If you cannot outbid someone, then the extra money is worth nothing, and hence there is no reason to work more than average.

>I don’t think labor price renegotiations constitute a social revolution in the historical sense of the phrase. Maybe a small one.

I sort of weakly disagree, a labor movement (of price negotiation) would be extremely subversive of the business status quo. I say weakly because the kind of 'revolution' discussed seems to be much less of an organized movement and instead a spontanious zeitgeist in my view.

For context of Reich's thinking here I would recommend his 2017 Netflix documentary "Saving Capitalism"[0]

> This eliminates the need for an on-battery or plugged-in performance mode because it changes frequencies so fast, you're no longer losing performance by waiting for the software to speed up the cpu. So you can keep it on all the time.

Here's my /etc/rc.d/rc.local script:

#!/bin/sh
for policy in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*
do
echo "power" > "$policy"/energy_performance_preference
done

Here's available preferences:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/energy_performance_available_preferences
default performance balance_performance balance_power power

Basically I can choose between "performance" and "power" (low performance) modes. I'm choosing power, so my fans are silent. And they're silent indeed, no matter the load.

Wouldn't people just instead ask "Why are there colours in maths?"?

I don't think that this:

Is any more meaningful or edifying than:

x + x = 2*x
They charged me extra for Dune at least. 20 euro ticket + 2 euro for the glasses which you keep in Berlin. Last time before that I had been in Bulgaria a few years ago and there it was just part of the original ticket price. So I guess it matters per location but I think the profit margins on the glasses are tiny compared to on anything else in the Cinema anyway.
Who actually wants this? I don't want to stare at digital copies of people I'm trying to communicate with, whilst trapped in a digital maze designed by someone trying to keep me engaged. If the "digital twin" is exactly the same, there's no point, and if it's not exactly the same, it's just weird (i.e. "uncanny").

This "metaverse" is some kind of deranged trap. Social media is a hellscape of misunderstanding and conflict already. A further layer of indirection and reduction in "humanness", in the form of "cartoonifying" everyone, is going to further erode society's foundations.

This is done for the sake of quick communication between mathematicians, but it's necessary to make a study and see the pros and cons.

While it's true that it makes communication faster and straightforward it keeps so many people outside of the field.

Maybe the field would benefit to go more towards philosophy and logic, explaining it with words.
The concept dates back to at least the novel Snow Crash, if not earlier. Not sure if the term was coined back then too, but just do a quick search. The tech press and a lot of the industry have really been pushing it hard lately.
In some industries where the consequences of failing software are fatal, e.g. medical devices or vehicles, 3. and 4. are in place and ensure that (usually) nothing bad happens.

2. isn't that important if everyone within an industry has to adhere to the same standards.

For example, GDPR levels the playing field for any company that operates in Europe and ISO27001 etc for many industries. But sure, companies will usually do the minimum required effort - and that only if the threat of fines and audits is high enough.

In the spirit of HN always recommending, to my absolute infuration, "Org-Mode" to noobs usisc Windows when it is clearly a non-solution, I'll offer my own non-solution. Don't take notes on your phone.

My relationship with my phone is the best it has been in a decade, because I fucking despise using that thing. It's cramped, limited, inflexible, addictive and disposable. It's an awful machine to do anything non trivial. So, now my phone just serves as a calendar reminder for upcoming meetings, maps, and messaging. It is no longer a "constant companion". I use it for less than an hour a day on average. I don't even have a browser on it. I love this. I love my superior smug face when I'm on the bus and every other pleb is buried deep into his/her screen, while I ride astride with my zen halo glowing brightly, taking in the world, paying attention to squirrels being chased by cats and so on.

There is more to life than increasing it's speed. Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. Do fewer things, but cherish them more. Throw the phone into the trash, and wait till you're in front of a laptop or a desktop.
