Anonymous ballots by their nature cannot be distinguished from fraudulent ballots. You can't verify that a particular ballot was ever cast, only that you have it now. You also can't verify that a ballot that was genuinely cast was cast by the same person listed on the voter roll.

> Electoral roll exist, counting of people voted vs total number of ballots per area is possible, etc.

Lyndon Johnson probably committed election fraud. There was no problem with the number of ballots. There was no problem with the electoral rolls. Vote counting is of course not an instantaneous process. It did happen that some votes for Johnson were discovered late. And it's interesting to note that the voters who cast them voted in alphabetical order. But that could be a coincidence.

What if they'd voted in a different order, by a less lopsided margin? How would you audit the ballots?

> Exit polls also exist.

Considering the most recent news about exit polls is "they're diverging from the actual results and we aren't sure why", this isn't a very strong point.

The email about the lawyers is months before the “ultimatum.”

The reason Dr Gebru’s case is so divisive in tech (especially in this thread) is because so many are agnostic or ignorant of the role of ethics in tech; and almost every employee is ignorant of how Legal/HR execute retaliation. Anthony Levandowski is a literal criminal and yet is still enjoying tens of millions of dollars of Google’s money. Same with Andy Rubin. Even Michael Church is rich. If one percent of the energy spent fighting Dr Gebru was put into fighting the real scumbags in tech… you’d have something more like Google before it got greedy with scale.
I have an old keyboard (2 of them actually) since 92-93 I think. They look exactly like the one on the picture. Both work perfectly and do not require any modifications with the modern computers. One is permanently hooked up to a main server and being used very rarely when updating hardware. Another being dragged around as a spare. I would still use those as my main but after playing with ergonomic keyboards few years ego I got hooked and now use only those for every day work.
You can't play modern vinyl on a gramophone. Well, technically you can, but you'll just destroy the record. You need shellac records if you want to play them on a gramophone, and the last one was produced maybe in the 40s.

The Ultimate Student: Best Practices for 100 Mental Models
I don't think it was a mistake to go after mobile in general as much as in how in how they went after it. Apple, Google, Samsung, etc. approached the market differently so while most people talk about Intel messing up on the hw chip design, my meaning is they messed up the sw + vertical strategy for how to work with the market. I can imagine a world where they made made their own phone, OS, etc... just not with the current culture. If it was OK for a search engine + ads company to make their own phone designs + TPUs + OS + marketplace + apps + ..., why wasn't it for Intel?

Building slightly better chips with light software support is 80s/90s thinking. They missed the wave in mobile, and I don't see the new CEO doing anything about using their position or $ to start competing differently. Jensen is inspiring in that he doesn't fight the last decade's battle: their architectures etc. keep getting better, but just as important, the market approach keeps evolving too.

That’s idealistic.

Do you think people will just tolerate hyperinflation that would cause and sit quietly in line while waiting for overpriced food staples? Riots. Public disorder. Maybe even rebellion against the government.

Governments get involved because the individuals in that government fear what happens when we reach the tipping point where basic society breaks down.

I think we forget that 95% of all goods (or their inputs) are shipped and over 20% of GDP directly relies on shipping. That’s a massive gamble that the same people involved in the supply chain that is suffering from massive entropy can magically reduce that entropy after it snowballs.

Some ideas I don't see yet:

* Launch a satellite into space powered by a fission reactor with excessive capacity. Plan the trajectory so that in 500 years it crashes back to Earth with an inscribed quartz tablet.

* Commit a terrible crime like JFK assassination or Unibomber and make it your manifesto.

* Genetically modify your children (as an embryo) to contain the relevant information in non-coding regions of their DNA.

* Sneak into a fissile waste containment center and put a marble etching in there.

I would be more impressed if they had showed how to convert a USB keyboard to PS/2. That's very rare, while solutions for connecting a PS/2 keyboard to a USB port are relatively commonplace.
The HDMI port can do 4K 60hz. The Thunderbolt ports should be able to do 6K 60hz or 4k 120hz.
So what do you suggest instead? I can see a few options

- nobody being a parent

- parents being bad parents so they can be good workers

- any work dropped on the floor due to parents stays on the floor until they're back

Options 1 and 2 lead to worse societies and therefore decreased efficiency in the slightly longer run.

I guess the last option would work the best?

Overall it should be blindingly obvious to everyone that parents work way more than non-parents, at least for the first ~7 years of their kid's life.
The basic underlying technology didn't change that much. HTML is still HTML. Ditto for TCP/IP.

Thanks for trying. Still, You missed something key: I never said anything about Mao. I’m referring to the Harmonious Society doctrine that emerged in the early 2000s. Right at the time when China made massive market reforms.

You obviously haven’t read his final book.

For that matter, you should read the works of Francis Hutcheson, Adam Smith’s PhD advisor, chair of moral philosophy. Specifically his emphasis on beauty and harmony. This might give context to why Smith pursued the directions he did: both of Smith’s books were about why people make moral actions.
This directly contradicts what Jeff Dean wrote: “A cross functional team then reviewed the paper as part of our regular process and the authors were informed that it didn’t meet our bar for publication” (emphasis mine).

Semi-related: Microsoft is going to be (or has begun) checking for differences between published npm packages and their source control.

I got a PR in my repository a few days ago leading back to a team trying to make it easier for packages to be reproducible from source https://github.com/microsoft/Secure-Supply-Chain
As others have said, put GrapheneOS or CalyxOS on a supported Pixel. LineageOS isn't directly privacy focused, but it's an alternative to using a pure Google product so does help.

You'll likely need to deprogram your concept of "quality" to prioritize security and privacy over convenience, then give anything you try an honest chance. Remember, any frustration you might feel early on is just withdrawal from all of the non-volitional and anti-consumer patterns leaving your life.

// See for example long-surviving small- to medium-scale family businesses

Are these business in industries with fierce large competitors? If not, it's an unreasonable comparison - they are only not getting eaten because nobody's trying to eat them.

I love small and medium businesses but just making a game theoretical point - you can only chose to limit your competitive effort to the extent that nobody is increasing theirs.
That's what HN needs, more paranoid idiots.
To be fair they contribute a lot to open source. I think the fact they have fallen behind so much actually shows they were struggling to improve. In comparison Nvidia's GPUs just always seem to be one generation ahead of AMD...

Part of the issue is that they become a literal blue chip company which means paying a dividend and not focusing on growth. It creates a different company culture that can be hard to get out of.
Since we can't find general closed form solutions for simpler equations such as 5th order polynomials, general closed form NN solvers (vs optimizers) do not look likely.

However, constraints on the general class of polynomials of 5th order and higher can result in subclasses that are solvable in closed form.

So there may be a long tail of closed form solvable classes of NN architectures waiting to be discovered.

Whether non-trivial closed-form subclasses of neural networks exist, and whether any of those classes is actually useful ... seems an area worth exploring.

And on the other hand every week I see a few issues about "regex DDOS" for tools that usually go nowhere near user-generated input. The signal/noise ratio of NPM audit is very poor, and right now I think its main impact is to pressure people to update often. All of that creates a very fertile ground to distribute malicious code through NPM.

Fetching from git is possible. The downsides are lack of semver, having to clone the full history of the repo, and having to clone the complete repo including files not needed for just using the lib, eg preprocessors, docs and tests.
> It sometimes is, or at least used to be, intentionally mastered with less dynamic range.

Right. Agreed on this. Mastering for the particular medium is a big part of the final outcome.
I don't think voltage drop has anything to do with it.

The voltage was high enough to drive the MCU so it's more than enough for the 2V threshold voltage of both sides.

PS/2 is open collector so when idle the signals will settle at VCC regardless of the pull-up value

The "fractionally lower voltage high" can only have been very close to 5V.

Adding stronger pull-ups would have given faster rise times and stronger drive so either the rise time was too slow for the superio or the extra juice helped protect against noise.

The author mentioned current draw but it has nothing to do with it imo
> True future historians will have a lot more material about our present, but that still shouldn't limit our intent for archival of as much as we can.

In my eyes, unless you have a personal interest in the material that you want to archived that would make you overlook most complications, the burden of preserving or even making their information easy to preserve should lie on its authors.

For example, if you as a person want to make your voice be heard through centuries, then it should be upon you to use open data formats or even something as simple as Markdown, as opposed to binary .docx files or similar formats that will have significant problems related to reading them.

Furthermore, there is no actual guarantee of anyone actually caring about what you (or, let's say, i) might say, for example, in an offhanded remark on Twitter about seeing some cute kittens today, apart from any such data being included in a larger analysis of bulk data.

I'm certainly not against the idea of archiving or preserving data, but it seems that most larger events out there will have a huge amount of coverage either way.

Which makes it more likely to be the truth, not less likely. It would be very foolish to write that if it were demonstrably false, as was claimed above. And I have to assume their lawyers aren’t very foolish.

All the talk in the comments on this post about how smart people ask stupid questions and how great it is to ask 'why' and explore assumptions kind of feels a bit off, and I think I know why.

Over on another danluu post thread about productivity, I kept asking why it was assumed that one had to maximize productivity and go fast as a prerequisite for having leisure time. But no matter how I asked why it was asserted that leisure is dependent on productivity and why relaxing is predicated on first clearing some bar of an acceptable amount of work, nobody really wanted to examine that. It was just taken as a given. One response even shut down further discussion with "this isn't a philosophical discussion".

So it seems to me that it's really only considered ok to ask stupid questions and look stupid within a framework of what's acceptably 'stupid'. But probing into the underlying assumptions themselves is not an acceptable kind of stupid.

Which leads to my stupid question: who determines, and how, what the acceptable limits of "stupid" are? And how are those norms communicated and enforced?

As a normie I sometimes wonder what happens to FAANGlers(googlers + other FAANG). You are used doing things the FAANG way and been doing it for a while and now it’s too late for you to learn how the “rest of the world” does so how does one adapt? Just curious. I find it hard to believe that one has transferable skills after doing time at FAANG.

Find some used record stores (they usually sell any used media) in your area. You'll usually find prices way below what you're going to find online. Even when the unit price is on par with online prices you're not paying any shipping.

SEO matters a lot. And first contact conversion matters a lot. There's a reason landing pages market is quite popular.

You can also read about people's preference for clean/relevant domains an example about hey.com
There are family owned businesses where others try to beat them, but those businesses are so tied to their space that it is hard for others to step in and as these companies don't try to expand too much, they are free to cooperate with anybody, which gives them a beneficial network.

However that is heavily industry specific and in tech, where scales are very different only works for very small niches.
Same reason as many other design problems:

- prioritizing graphical design over usability

- and prioritizing copying Chrome and Mac OS over following "local" OS guidelines
Bingo! Who remembers Symbolics and their lisp machine? Moore's law, not theoretical advancement, is the real story.
This is about telemetry, not the direct eye tracking data. Also I'm not sure how you could detect various conditions with just what you look at. That seems a little far fetched / not reliable. Even if it could magically diagnose you with a condition what would be the point to do that? To sell you medication? To connect you with others who share your condition? Those things don't mseem to be much to worry about.
yep, but less during work hours I hope.

That’s my dream too, but unfortunately the Google that took that path would have died long ago after being choked off by other large ecosystems from Microsoft, Apple, etc.

First Chrome, then Android were critical, life-or-death maneuvers for Google. Without paving their own path straight to users’ eyeballs, Google would have never survived. But succeeding in that path also required an entire ecosystem to back it up.

Google also does a lot of frivolous stuff to explore, but all of the major expansions are required just to protect their Search and Ad products.
What's the problem with a big repository? The files still need to be downloaded from somewhere. It's mostly just text anyway so no big blobs which is usually what causes git to choke.

For that one-off occasion when you are on 3G, have a new computer without an older clone, and need to edit files without compiling the project (which would have required npm install anyway), there is git partial clone.

Does npm have a shared cache if you have several projects using the same dependencies?
I can't quite agree with it. Maybe in the SV it works this way, maybe, just maybe, it does so in the U.S. as a whole too, but the normal belief about the whole software industry here in the Eastern Europe is that it is an industry of bullshit (because most developers have never seen a single project that shipped, and don't know anyone who seen), so smart people would just work for whatever pays best, to escape bullshit as soon as possible (by investing their money elsewhere)... Being smart and getting things done isn't a filter at all i would say.
Took you decades before do this?
Although I appreciate the honesty about the company in this blog, my issue is almost every big company behaves in the same way. FAANG is not the absolute best, it is just best option among the worst.
The only other option is to work at a small startup or start your own company but that is a different ballgame and requires extreme levels of grind.
Well paying jobs typically don't look for people with experience in specific technologies, rather they look for people with experience in relevant domains. And the domain experience you learn at FAANG is worth a ton, lots of companies wants to be more like FAANG.

Example: You are making a search engine, you use technology X. Would you rather hire a person who worked on Google search but didn't work with technology X, or would you want an expert on technology X?

Counter anecdot - I managed about 20 directs for a few years and it was fine. Of course in reality I was grooming a bunch of them to become team leads (which eventually happened) so I was leaning on them to take care of and lead others day to day.
