The super rich are also subject to the same cynicism as you and me. Some don't donate to social issues or try to fix things because they feel like sure they could throw money at the problem but nothing would change because the problems are just intractable.

The super rich are just people with a lot of money. You'd find that some traits are distributed differently from the general population, but they are not cognitively superhuman or exempt from anything humans normally think. The super rich also get conned, join cults, jump on cultural or ideological bandwagons that eventually look embarrassing, have mental illness, get addicted to substances or behaviors, etc.
Why I have deleted my Producthunt account
Little variety

At this point, the Producthunt frontpage consists mostly of Notion, Low-Code/No-Code and microfinace.

Account Wall

The frontpage can now only be browsed completely with an account. After five products of the most recent day, there is an unavoidable request to log in.

Community

For the last few months there has hardly been any constructive feedback, only praise. I haven't seen any suggestions for improvement for days, only short generic congratulations that could also be written by bots.

This is the norm, seen today: https://imgur.com/a/HRnX76b

I don't mean to say that I reject the positive atmosphere, but feedback is especially important for startups and beta software. Not every launch is done in a mature state, and it's fine if not necessary to point this out.

Producthunt was my favourite site in the past. It is unfortunate that the community growth seems to be having a negative effect.

I think this is an undergrad paper published on a blog.

It’s hard to see if this article is really making a legit point, from a confusing typos early (swapping “form” and “function”, or claiming beige was used in software, when all displays were monochrome back then) to pulling out random historical artifacts apparently without understanding them (the Star’s portrait display was not “distinct”; on the contrary the switch to landscape happened in the mid 80s; the first Mac had both a distinct physical design and graphic clues like the trash can and floppy disk; those were not introduced in the 80s, etc).

Laid upon that are a few anodyne design “observations” that have been common in graphic design articles since the early 20th century.

> People need food and places to live.

Yeah, and under capitalism, these are linked to some capitalist idea of productivity.

We're getting a little far from the original point of this thread, but I'd argue that food & shelter & healthcare shouldn't be linked to "productivity".

I think the way that this is applicable here is that when the private sector gets involved in an issue, it can be a lot harder for the issue to be addressed by the public sector. That's a really big topic, I'd suggest reading Winners Take All[0] for a more in-depth look at this.

I'll leave this at: some things shouldn't be monetized (and this is one of them).

> I would say your incentives don't align.

I'm not sure what you mean. What are my incentives here?

> But app creators should just do it for free?

There are plenty of consumer spaces where I don't complain (publicly) about app-creators getting involved. This, being a "mental health" app, is an area where the public sector getting involved could be detrimental (see my comment elsewhere where I ask if this could be harmful in the long run).

I was going to replace my thinkpad with a new thinkpad, but when apple released the M1 macbook air I had to change my mind. I paid the same that I would have paid for a T series, but got something that has the sleek thin and light build quality on par with an X1 with performance of a P series and battery life that hasn't existed on thinkpads ever since they dropped power bridge. Oh, and it is fanless. If my macbook air fell into the abyss I would replace it with another air right away, it is that good.

If lenovo still made thinkpads like they used to: reasonably priced, easy to upgrade and repair, with large external batteries, and with top-notch keyboards, I might have opted for a thinkpad still. But they don't make those. All new thinkpads have so-so keyboards, they all have internal batteries (and often too small), and they're getting harder to upgrade and repair with every generation. Lenovo has chosen to chase after the macbook design, and that makes me less likely to buy thinkpads, because a thinkpad will never be as good a macbook as a macbook.

It looks like this specific algorithm can easily be deterministically reversed - the XORs and bitwise shifts mean that, given four output numbers, you can completely determine what state it was in before the numbers were generated - and, in fact, that there is probably a simple series of bit shifts and XORs you can perform on the last four outputs that produces the next number.

Bit shifts and XORs are very much the kind of pattern neural networks should excel at learning - they mean that each output bit is a simple
linear function of the input bits.

Actually doing it is still a good demonstration! But the fact that the function in question is used as a PRNG doesn’t imply that other PRNGs would be susceptible to a similar approach.

Yes! It uses exactly the same slot model in the official Redis Cluster. Each key will first calculate its slot number by a hashing function. Then try to find out the instance with this corresponding slot.

No, its kind of obvious they are trying to make the compairson:

"What Winston Plywood is doing defies almost everything we have been told about wages in Mississippi — that raising the minimum wage would cripple profits, throw company pay structures into chaos, create inflation and ultimately wreck the economy. Besides, we are told, Mississippi’s low cost of living makes a raise in the minimum wage unnecessary.

Yet a recent study provided to Congress on hearing about raising the federal minimum wage showed half of Mississippians are ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and that a minimum wage that would cover essential costs of living would need to be $10.94 per hour for a single person and $14 per hour for two-income families with two children.

That a sawmill in a rural Mississippi town would go far beyond that is startling — and definitely something to keep an eye on."
1. Part of HN thinks their next app will make them super-rich, so this affects them.

2. Another part of HN sees this as an opportunity. "In a gold-rush, sell shovels".

3. Yet another part of HN has been trying hard to get rich without results, and sees the super-rich as having had unfair advantage, and therefore now has an aversion against this group. This leads to upvoting to fuel discussions about survivor bias, wealth inequality, fairness of the economy etc.

naxalnet started as a shell script to setup a wireless mesh network with iwd and the batman-adv kernel module with systemd-netwokd.
BATMAN networks are easy to setup with routers running OpenWrt, but not everyone is privileged enough to get a router that supports OpenWrt. So I converted the script to python and added some features, including a configuartion file.

I don't have enough machines to test it with, so it likely contains many bugs.

It's about how much money they have. If I estimate it to a 1% risk, I can't invest all of my income, and even if I did, I could maybe own a rural home, but that's it. For them, by investing the same proportion, they get way more.
Let's call the phenomenon you seem to dismiss as obvious and uninteresting, that neurons "right on top of each other" have similar receptive fields, 'minicolumns.'

These exist consistently across the cortex. We've mapped out their shape and connections. This is what one looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmdPOaTpZWA (this even links to the paper you cited but calls them 'cortical columns').

Let's call the larger column structures with significant horizontal coverage posited by Mountcastle 'hypercolumns.' As you and others have noted these seem to be limited or non-existent.

As I've said thanks to updates to our technology we've refined the idea of 'cortical columns' into a class which doesn't have useful explanatory power ('hypercolumns') and one which does ('minicolumns'.)

The vertical integration of processing across layers of cortex by a collection of neurons is IMO of significant interest and import. You may disagree, but please don't pretend that these structures don't exist.
That's only ~365 values. XORshift32 has a period of 2^32-1, a good portion of that (I'd imagine) unique. If XORshift had really good randomness properties, at the extreme we'd expect that the NN would have to special case all of them. What this implies is that XORshift has easily cracked, nonrandom, repeatable patterns (which we suspect of course since it fails certain tests) and that the NN has identified them.

I turned Upworthy's A/B test data into a clickbait quiz
This whole project reads as a beginner's guide to ML and what it can do.

I mean, it's nice and all but at some point I would've expected at least a mention that this all was solvable with a quantized neural network with low bit precision as well.

Most of the article was about LSTMs and the recurrent design of those is just a very inefficient way to solve the problem at hand.

I would've expected an LSTM try for something like a seed based randomizer like MT19937 and that the unfolding layers are trained on the seed itself with the idea that they learn how to predict the seed's state for the next iteration.

Something like this would be really important research, especially in times where time based one time passwords are used everywhere, and their cryptographic security of how seeds are generated is important.
This is the research inspiring Naomi "Sexy Cyborg" Wu's wearable microphone jammer (a choker), see https://youtu.be/H1rozZ7ebxQ?t=111 and later on at https://youtu.be/H1rozZ7ebxQ?t=1319 for live testing out in public.
It seems that those early skeptics have been proven correct so far. We haven't seen crypto meaningfully improve anyone's life outside of the small minority of people who exited to fiat and made a lot of real money.

The very mixed Bitcoin rollout in El Salvador by an authoritarian govt should also tell us that the fantasy of crypto enabling freedom from oppressive govt is also still unrealized.

> For billionaires it's the perfect time to buy toys, mansions etc. Because such purchases lower the big wealth number, thus diminishing social hatred

Huh? If you're worth $25 billion and you buy a $250 million yacht, it doesn't decrease your "wealth number" by $250 million. The yacht still has a value, and depreciation and maintenance (which can be offset by charter revenue) represent a negligible loss. Also, "toys" can appreciate in value. The private jet market, for instance, is going bonkers right now, so if you bought before the pandemic, you might very well have a jet that's worth more than you paid for it.

All this notwithstanding, "toys" are precisely the types of things that fuel what you call "social hatred". The negative attention they can bring is one of the reasons why for every wealthy person who flaunts their wealth, there are multiple others who use various measures to conceal their ownership of their assets.
Or maybe yachts and suits are just dumb, and first generation of non-boomer billionaires somewhat recognizes that?

Why would you buy a yacht if you can buy suborbital rocket?
The messy core of the Modern Data Stack
Well, there is an option.

1. Get a T480 with the i7-8650

2. Get the 95Wh battery option (24Wh internal + 72Wh external)

3. Upgrade RAM to 32GB DDR4-2400

4. Upgrade SSD to 2TB NVMe

5. Upgrade display to the T14 Gen2’s 1080p 100% sRGB 400nits display (available with custom brackets for T470/T480 e.g. here: https://www.xelent-store.de/Innolux-N140HCG-GQ2-400cd-Low-Po...)

Result: A laptop with awesome specs in all regards except CPU, and even the CPU is still respectable, replaceable everything, and a great display. For overall somewhere around 500-700€.

There’s nothing better on the market right now, especially as this gives you powerbridge, so you can keep two external batteries and just replace them when they drop to 0% instead of having to wait for it to charge.

And as the T470/T480 is easy to open up, you just need a small iFixit kit and 30 minutes to do all these replacements.

You are making a good point here. Different countries will value quality bread and other types of baking much more than others.
Margin on ingredients specifically was mentioned. Anyway, I contend that pizza is more labour intensive than bread.

You can fit many loaves of bread in the oven space of one pizza.

No doubt that in some circumstances, pizza is a more viable business model than bread. I'm just skeptical that the margin on a pizza sale is typically better than bread.

Source? Specifically, a source that can pinpoint a statement by a Libyan official in the immediate run-up to the intervention in Libya (i.e., late 2010 or early 2011) indicating a desire to switch to selling oil in euros.

The closest I've ever seen to such a source is that one of the cables released in the Wikileaks leak reported that a source close to Sarkozy outlined a few reasons why he wanted to intervene of Libya, one of which was a desire to replace the CFA franc (effectively backed by France) with a gold-based Libyan dinar.
