I don't see what's wrong with saying "I have a PhD". It's equivalent to what (I think) you're saying: "I have a few qualifications (pertaining to research)".
I'm an aimless 24 year old as well. I often feel sad that the friends I have aren't very interested in the programming / tech things I like to think about. I'm hoping to find some meetups or other communities where I can build those relationships in person
I think the show does plenty of focusing on “power and precarity.” It obvious to me that it works with a very different definition of psychohistory, one which is more accessible to viewers but is, in my opinion, much less neat.

Beyond that, though, the differences between the books and the show seem to be done with the intention of coming up with a new and interesting narrative. I don’t have a problem with that.

Also, I think it’s important to note that the show is produced by his daughter and that she wanted to take things in a different direction. Most of these changes were made with deep knowledge of the books and the authors vision.
Trying to develop a game idea I have had for a while. If anyone is interested in chatting hobby game dev feel free to hit me up!

I am currently side tracked by fixing my car's aftermarket digital dash, and musing how that cyberpunk makeshift techno-future kind of already exists outside of all the polished digital products. It's a 3D printed case, open source hardware, commodity parts and and open source software all sold as a complete working unit. It's exactly what I wanted from technology.

I am also constantly dabbling in music, riding bikes, and slowly piecing together a metal fab workshop. I may be overleveraging my time, but my work life balance is pretty much where I want it right now.
Interesting, I usually keep my fingers on the homerow keys and when I move my right hand to the trackpad I'm usually rotating my elbow or slightly pulling in my arm and bringing my hand to the trackpad with very little wrist movement.

But I'm not surprised my situation doesn't always apply to other people.
> They made Jessica into a physical fighter

Reread chapter 31. Jessica bested Stilgar in a physical fight the same as the movie.

Jessica was demoted in the movie. She was far stronger in the book. I didn't understand why until I read this review. https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/10/dune
Thanks. Would love to have such a solution, but generally, doctor visits are normal.

One giant difference I noticed is my speech. When I was younger I spoke very, very quickly, to the point it was off-putting to some folks. I've always thought people who speak quickly have a fast working brain, so to speak.

Today I speak much more slowly and with more deliberation. Not good or bad, just different. Unfortunately I also find myself searching for a word much more often.
My point is that something is only unfilmable up until the point at which someone makes a good film about it.

There's lots of literary attributes which may make a series easier or harder to adapt, but, just like Dune used to be called unfilmable for the heavy monologue, length, and nonverbal components, a director with a vision can overcome them.
Relevant and always lots of informed opinions on obscene storage options:

I live in Missouri, in the deep Red Ozark Mountains in the SW part of it and I shared an article on that on FB in a local group.

Our Governor really blew it on this one. Folks here will generally stand by their GOP Party and for the most part they never talk about Parson here but this really pissed them off.

I was surprised by the comments and the number of them. They are pissed about the incompetence of those who built the website and quite a bit more so that Parson would try to charge the journalist with a crime for finding it.

We're all just shaking our heads over that.

> why it took a decade and $70m to replicate the foam

In fact, if I'm thinking of the right foam here (codename FOGBANK, believed to be a lithium deuteride aerogel), the problem was even worse. There was a contaminant in one of the original raw materials (acetonitrile, if memory serves) that turned out to be essential to the whole process working. But nobody in the original program knew this contaminant was even present, much less its importance, so of course they didn't document it. Not explicit knowledge, not tacit knowledge, just an unfinished R&D job.
I would reject faithfulness as a measure of success. I'd much rather have "That's not Foundation!"

I already have Foundation. I can read it whenever I make the time. It's kind of cool to see a book translated to the screen... but if it doesn't really survive the translation? That's ok too! It can just be a movie with a ton of similarities to an existing story.

Blade Runner, The Shining, Starship Troopers, or hell, Adaptation. They all have varying relationships to the source material. None are especially faithful, but they're all still good movies.
The Liet Kynes gender swap was obviously for PC reasons but the other things you point out have plausible other justifications. For the lack of "jihad", consider that the connotations of the word are very different for 2021 audiences that lived through the War on Terror, as compared to 1965 readers who might only have been vaguely familiar with the word. Also, Jessica (and the other Bene Gesserit) are clearly strong physical fighters in the books.
> - Jai's dev team is also developing a compiler backend that is much faster than LLVM - it's only for debug builds, but that compile speed is very important for any iteration-based workflow.

So is Zig. In fact Zig might be even more aggressive about this - they chose to aim for an in-place binary patching approach explicitly for the purpose of fast rebuilds and simplifying live-reloading.
To me, 18-30 or even 18-35 is practically "young adult" these days.
Here are some blogposts that can describe it better than I:

https://thehypothesis.substack.com/p/heres-why-substacks-sca...

https://doyles.substack.com/p/in-queers-we-trust-all-others-...

https://www.vox.com/recode/22338802/substack-pro-newsletter-...

The TL;DR is that Substack has allegedly paid large sums of money to bring writers onto their platform. The writers they've paid have historically been on one end of the ideological spectrum, and Substack has not been transparent about who is being paid, nor how much.
Source? Sounds like this ruling would invalidate fair use...
spoiler: no, they are not. Clickbaity, yellow journalism as usual.
Because a story can be re-imagined for a different medium and enjoyed by people? Who may in turn check out the original story and enjoy that, as well?

Others are just as entitled to enjoy an adaptation as you are to not enjoy it.

Some people enjoy seeing how a writer, director, cinematographer, cast, set and costume designers, etc present a written work.

Lots of people watch an adaptation and find bits they enjoy and bits they don't.

If you go through life only demanding or expecting experiences you will enjoy, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

I ended up reading The Expanse series because I loved the pilot TV episode so much. I've never read Foundation and I think I likely will in the near future.

And as well as those errors:

OP doesn't realize that DAI has sailed through falls in ETH value of far more than 50% (I think the worst was over 90% in 2018)

OP, despite his obvious great intelligence, doesn't realize that another, stronger question about DAI would be the potentially-worrying linkage to USDC etc to provide stability (though critics should note that even before that stability module, PSM, was introduced it had never deviated by more than 1%, AFAIK)

Seeing that this is, despite all those errors and omissions, the top comment here, is extremely dispiriting
They may start out already more specialized as undergrads, or the programs are just managed better.
This is apparently HNs first rodeo.
Who or what's getting exploited? The material itself? Or the audience? I think few people who read the SF classics will be duped just by the name.
I can understand some of it. I read Dune earlier this year and some components notably stuck out of their time, like the book's reference to the Jihad. While I can understand it in the context of a book from 1965, a modern cinematic release doesn't get the same leeway from audiences I'd imagine.

>That same thing will happen if crypto has a major run. The exchanges already conveniently "go down" when Bitcoin dumps even now

To this point specifically: is there any proof this is malicious? Amazon, Facebook, Google have all had outages before; shouldn't we apply Hanlon's Razor when a cryptocurrency exchange fails to serve requests during a massive traffic spike?

who decides on what is a "fact"?
a lot of things that you think is a fact, can be interpreted as just your opinion.
But have the state decide what can we be said and read will not result in something good for the normal people, with the exception of harmful speech.
Its quite difficult to find the line where harmful speech begins, since speech as a whole can be interpreted quite different.

science starts as opinions/theory until tested and proven :)
This looks nicely implemented. Can you give some examples of a successful blog(s) on the platform (with the permission of the author of course)?

One thing I would say is that your top navigation bar (for example clicking on 'Why Papyrus?') doesn't appear to work without JS. I hope the rest of the website experience is not hindered by the need to run JS.
Don't roll a barrel on Amazon. They kept The Expanse alive (which is certainly better than Dune 2021).
The first few episodes were a bit slow, but I like the Robot enamoured with Religion concept and the out of their depth Cleons.

It reminds me of our present day leaders and the way they react with their subservient robot underlings to all events.
Somebody holds large chunks of the $70.5 billion in USDT.

Presumably, people who hold hundreds of millions of the stuff are well aware of every accusation made against Tether.

If they wanted to, they could trade their USDT for actual US fiat on a 1:1 basis if they thought USD was worth more than USDT.

The really smart money with large crypto stashes could borrow USDT with crypto as collateral, and trade the USDT for greenbacks.
My other fear is with inflation it might be a good idea to buy property.

If things get rough I can always live in City B full time and visit City A.

City A doesn't have affordable property anywhere near public transportation.

Having read both, I don’t think Dune is impossible to bring to the screen. I think it needs to be a TV show because as a film it will need to be super long (and will be exposition heavy and/or kinda boring.)

But Foundation is like the Silmarillion. It’s supposed to be detailed over centuries/millennia and definitely is hard or impossible to get right on the screen.
Hey everyone!

I'm a casual observer of this community and it's one of the few I usually enjoy reading. I've learned much from your comments --- even from the vitriol of the occasional troll.

We've been working real hard. I didn't want this to be our announcement; here or anywhere. This launch was supposed to be different. If anything, I wanted my first post here to be about our product.

I am a real systems engineer and we build real products with real world application. It's been a stressful 2 years for everyone, it's been an additionally stressful last week for me.

I appreciate any questions and comments, but please understand our situation, and be respectful and patient until I get back to you. Please, let's keep it technical.

Thank You!

Sincerely,

Nate Skulic
The moment it "clicked" for me was accessing an app and paying for its premium features using my wallet. I didn't sign up. I didn't provide any information about myself.

Having a wallet is effectively having a pseudonymous account to every dApp that will ever exist. Likewise, the developers don't have to store any of that information or care about auth, authorization or payments.

This obviously won't translate to everything, but it does show how some presumptions about the way the web has to work(just because it always has worked that way) are being completely turned on their head.
And H2 isn't much better.
> why it is so important to have short local and capable supply chains

Should it teach that to nations and governments? I get people who want to have access to things they can buy. But did the supply issues affect nations and governments in any way that's larger than annoyance/delay? This is a serious questions - did any country fail some large project with impact larger than the risk of "we're fine, as soon as the supply chain recovers we won't have to deal with this problem for many decades"?
> didn't that apply to (at the very least) both Gurney and Duncan also?

Yes, although to a lesser degree for Duncan.

> It seems that you wanted to see a different film than the one Villeneuve wanted to make.

I’m not talking about how the film did or didn’t match what I wanted, I’m simply refuting that “the source book should be the Bible and you don’t mess with it” applies to Villeneuve’s Dune.
Yeah. Dune can be (but I don’t think has been) done right as it’s still the story of one character and his ascension to the throne. Foundation can’t be done as a typical show due to the time span in which it takes place.
Bitcoin is a combination of a set of tokens, BTC, and a set of miners. Miners are either sole proprietors or, increasingly, publicly traded companies which operate the network collectively. When a transaction takes place, value is extracted from the BTC everyone holds and is transferred to these entities. The more transactions take place, the more value accrues to miners, not to holders. It's in fact taken from holders. Miners become more valuable, and the value accrues to these mining entities, which frequently means to shareholders in the public markets.

Starbucks cards are akin to pre-selling coffee tokens. Each time Starbucks redeems these coffee tokens for coffee, they collect a portion of the transaction just as miners do. And just as miners do, they pass on the majority to their suppliers and employees. Just as in the Bitcoin example, the fact Starbucks is selling tons of coffee, collecting a lot of transaction fees, doesn't mean that the Starbucks cards themselves become more valuable. Starbucks Inc, and Starbucks shares do, and that value accrues to their shareholders.

I hope that clarifies my thoughts. Open to being wrong about this framing.
Like how?
All of those themes are in the books, it's why he sets the Foundation up to make an encyclopedia. They aren't supposed to know, because (too much) knowledge of the future leads to potentially massive change (a variation on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle). So they can't know their real purpose (or one of their purposes) without changing the results.

And the series subverts that from the start, why? What does it do to make it better?

That last question is the key for me. A show or movie is never the same as the book (or very rarely). There are a lot of things that can or should be changed for adaptation. But why would you subvert one of the key themes that defined the book series?
Paratroops taking Crete was a huge failure. The British chose not to defend in depth so as to hide they have broken the German codes.
Still the losses inflicted during that landing made Germany hesitant of using paratroopers ever again.

You are familiar with the concept that is used in almost every single television show?? In fact, I can’t think of one it isn’t in.

Ok.

Why did they use it?? Hmm....
That is wicked. Would you ever be interested in developing an open source ECU platform?

I feel like there is a hole in the market for affordable and hackable ECUs. You could monetize it by selling the hardware boards I guess.

There are some projects out there already but none of them seemed usable for a full size track car at the time, and the issue was still a lack of suitable hardware to run it on. Idealy you could just buy a board with a generic wiring harness for ~$300, and have an open extensible platform for engine management in the software. Kind of like the ecosystem for flight controllers for drones.
One can make the case you can get away with more deviancy in tv shows than in movies. The changes you listed to Dune did not felt to me like they fundamentaly altered the story.

Jessica should be a terrific fighter since she is a Bene Gesserit https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Bene_Gesserit#Powers_and_Abilit....

I don't agree with this take that it was modified to satisfy PC morality. There were a lot of criticism that Dune is white mesiah for arabs in space. Imagine a change where black Paula together with her partner Chani and Fremen overthrow the male dominated Landsraad.

The movie is basically in line with the books in terms of story: it's not about a hero saving the world; Paul is not an-Aragorn like figure, he is manipulating and taking advantage of prophecies put in place in the collective mind by the Bene Gesserit, in order to further his own goals.
Also, I don't think you ought to consider "when I was 17, I could do basic calculus in my head" as a sign of more ability than you have today. The problems were likely not that hard, since you were 17.

Do you practice doing long division every day, without pen and paper? If not, then I think you ought to try that before making the judgement "I can't do it". Practice is very important, especially when it comes to memory intensive tasks. The other key bit is coming up with efficient algorithms for doing division in your head that take into account the pros/cons of memory vs. pen and paper (why should we expect algorithms that run well on paper to be effective in our memory-only execution as well?). Over the years, people have developed a wide variety of "mental arithmetic" algorithms.

Finally, doing long division in your head isn't important. No one will judge you by it, when you're applying for a PhD, and so you should not judge yourself by it. There are way bigger fish to fry, even in mathematics.
It's sad to read that someone interprets my behavior, which is inconvenient for me but is mainly about keeping other people from getting hurt because I'm not in a high risk group, as narcissistic, somehow. You should try to reconsider what you think you know about the people who disagree with you, because you are absolutely incorrect and borderline delusional.
Thanks for the feedback - appreciate it!
I keep hearing this a lot on Hackernews, about how Apple trackpads are a perfect cinnamon roll of a pointing device.

I found the trackpad on my work Mac so irksome to use that I expensed a Bluetooth mouse to use with it. Other PC trackpads are not that much worse the Apple ones; they're all uniformly annoying AF.
isn’t this likely just a matter of practice? at 17 I spent hours a week studying calculus so it was easy… then I stopped using it for 20 years and it’s very difficult.

I feel like I’d get good at calculus or anything by dedicating similar amounts of dedicated study time
Slightly off topic, but I notice a lot of "full stack" courses on Udemy all use Mongo as their backend. Yet, I've always heard (hearsay) that Mongo licensing and reliability are bad. Are there not established training and "stacks" that utilize, say, Cockroach or Postgres, or some other NoSQL? Clearly I could swap out db layer with some work; I'm just surprised that training seems to focus on a database so reviled on HN.
Did you love all the books??

Because the books he wrote in the 80s were very different to the ones in the 50s. Completely different. And awful imho.
Super common in CAD/CAM/3D modeling apps like Autodesk Fusion 360.
It's a chain reaction. We don't make almost anything in the US any more. Which means everything in the supply chain has serious external dependencies. From screws and wires to electronic components, tools, machinery and almost every basic material used in industry. We have done an excellent job of destroying entire layers of our industries.

A lot of what we are seeing is rooted in failed economic and foreign policies spanning at least five decades.

To add to my prior statement:

If this doesn't teach people that our politicians are incompetent and selfish, I am not sure what will.

Note I do not make political party distinctions. We have allowed ambulance chasers run our country for decades. The realities of the next few decades are entirely on the voters who never woke up to understand that incompetent, selfish, power-hungry people never produce good outcomes.

I can't think of many politicians I would hire to run a mid size cooking baking operation. That's how bad it is.
I run a globally, distributed company funded solely operated based on smart contracts and cryptocurrency/equity. We got 50 investors from around the world. Most of hackernews is exclusively focused on the United States, which is a very limited point of view. Try travel and see other parts of the world and you might understand it better.
Yeah, this is important to consider. The barrier to entry is lower than ever, but truly excelling in software development is still non-trivial.
I released the rough-draft of a programming language last year that I'd been working on for fun: https://ptls.dev. I'm building a second version now that's a lot more practical than the original. Once it's ready I'd like to see if I can find some users for it!
Impressively fast (honestly, that's stellar work), slightly buggy in the editor (focus is sometimes hard to determine, triple-click doesn't always select a paragraph, etc) but I assume that'll get cleared up eventually, and it's pretty good looking across the board.

I might actually use this. Simple and effective and not full of crap. It could use a little bit more documentation (inter-post linking how? hardcoding might be fine, but it'd be nice if that link-popup searched your post titles or something) and probably a small bit of extra flexibility... but finding the balancing point between "feature-full" and "simple" is quite tough, as is keeping it fast. I'm pleasantly surprised with it as-is.

Any chance of custom domain support? I assume that would be a paid feature (it always is, I think that's reasonable), but it is nice to have that option. Also RSS.
