> In ancient times, "post-scarcity society" meant a world with enough food for everybody. I buy 50-pound bags of rice for $50. If I ate nothing but rice it would cost me $1,500 per year. The US GDP Per Capita is $64,000. By the standards of medieval Japan, we have 40× the economic production of what people need.
Come on, maaan.

We'll see if people adapt (or not) to deal better with social media in terms of altering how they consume / interact with it, given the experiences of the past decade. I think a huge percentage of people have pulled back from eg Facebook and commonly broadcasting their views there, or engaging in low value social conflicts via social media. The average person is not Tweeting their thoughts on a daily basis and is not going to.

I think it could take perhaps a few decades (~2010-2030) for a full cycle to take place of people - across multiple generations - experiencing social media across their lives over many years, to inform the next generations of social media's nature. There is still a lot yet to learn about how social media impacts us, shapes us, influences us, contorts us. That's all still being judged, regulated, pondered, debated, studied. Television and radio took decades to play out in terms of what manner they fit into society, how society would use / consume those things, what society would accept from those things, and how they would be regulated.
Can't seem to find it now, but a while ago there was an art project posted on here that was basically a mock tourist camera where it would use the GPS and IMU to infer your subject, and combine that with time of day info to grab you a top-rated picture off Instagram instead of whatever lousy one you were trying to take yourself.

And here's the inverse of that— a camera that blocks you from taking photos too many other people have taken: https://philippschmitt.com/archive/2018/work/camera-restrict...
That’s a very roundabout way of saying you agree with racial and gender discrimination.
Alphabet ticker is still GOOG, while FB will become MVRS. Remember that FAANG is a Wall Street term for high-growth stocks (at the time it was coined)
Interesting, I didn't think any adult would try to learn instrument as an adult with goal of making money. I guess I happened to know professional amazing orchestra players who practiced hours every day since they were 6... And were mostly still dirt poor. So when I started piano lessons at tender age of 40, it did not come with any illusions of riches and fame compared to wizards who were three and a half decades ahead of me :-).

But I'm still having so much fun!! Playing simple piano pieces or fooling around with synth or arranger or playing with my kids etc. Piano has such a low barrier of entry to just tinkle around, and such phenomenal keyboards can be had for so little money used if you research a bit, I feel totally spoiled :-). There's YouTube videos and online lessons and awesome books for any style.

My one tip to adult learners - understand that music theory is not the same as learning to play is not the same as learning music notation / sight reading. Traditional music teachers with captive audience of 10 year olds whose parents force them to attend, start with notes reading which has no pay off for unbelievable amount of time. As a busy motivated adult there's no shame and lots of advantages to first learn your way around the instrument and a few songs or improv, even some good theory, before conittibg yourself to grind and learn by rote of music notation. It is NOT intuitive and you won't benefit from it immediately. Especially as piano has different clef for left and right hand... Mostly Because grouchy 18th century old Austrian white males hate you! :-D
One story I’ve heard told about the us navy (don’t have a link sadly) is that their current position is in some ways similar to the British navy in a time of dominance and peace (late eighteenth century maybe?) The story talks about a case where an elaborate system of instructions via raised flags directed two ships into crashing into each other somewhat catastrophically and the diagnosis from today is that the navy had fallen out of shape due to not having had to fight large naval battles—a situation that requires actual success rather than successful training exercises—and that their officers lacked the initiative to properly command their ships (e.g. avoiding crashing into each other). The story was particularly relevant with the US navy having recently had an avoidable collision at the time I saw it.

There have basically been no naval conflicts between fairly matched forces since WWII and the story goes that no one knows how to run a navy anymore. I say running a navy in such a conflict is mostly irrelevant because the weapons which may destroy ships (particularly large ones) are so much more effective now that your fleet would be quickly destroyed.
It’s a MOSFET joke.
Thoughts: Remote policy requiring 1 week/month at US HQ?
Do you think this company will attract people outside of HQ city?

Where do you think this policy ranks among other Hybrid policies, such as weekly:

1. 1 day in office and 4 remote
2. 2 days in office and 3 remote, etc
Essentially SEO tactics? I'm not surprised.
There are so many problems with his story.

Just one excerpt:

>In the wake of the discovery of Foster's body, Bernard Nussbaum, White House counsel, denied FBI agents access to Foster's office the day after the suicide and ordered an FBI agent to sit in a chair and remain there while White House officials rummaged through the office. When the agent rose to see what all the noise was about, Nussbaum shouted at him to remain in his chair and warned him not to rise from it again.

>There is no explanation of Nussbaum's behavior in the Fiske report. Nussbaum's actions alone ought to be condemned for interfering with the course of an investigation, and they raise further questions about what Foster was involved in and whether that had anything to do with his death. Not insignificantly, Fiske and Nussbaum have had a professional relationship for years, and Nussbaum had even sought Fiske's advice on the names of potential Clinton appointments to the federal bench.

You're legally permitted to run a Windows VM on Apple hardware, but not vice versa.

The idea of a CI/server for Apple software is a Mac mini... Not exactly production grade. Apples hardware/software lock in is disgusting.

Apple has no concerns for backward compatiblility.

Apple is developer hostile.

Consoles are poor example since I don't know a single console that lets you compile your game on it. All console manufacturers provide a development environment that runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, or a combination of those.
I feel like you've wasted 153 words while completely missing the point of the article, which isn't to advocate for a return to a pre-industrial era, but to ask why we have less free time today than we had then.
"Imagine a society where, if anyone works hard enough, they can make a living and raise a family ... But that society might not be sustainable in the long run: its population might get unhealthier, or less intelligent, or less psychologically stable.

"Is that dark?"

Yes, it is dark as hell. Without feeding the bloodthirsty maw of evolution, deleterious alleles accumulate. That makes many things that are clearly evil, like death, necessary. Darwin's description of the world is ultimately a successful theodicy, a story that vindicates Satan. "Here's why we need evil in the world." "Here's why the optimal number of dead babies is greater than zero." What could be darker? I wish that made it wrong.
how about the MAAAN. Because that's who we work for and who is keeping us all in line. Same as it ever was.
In all the progress we made economically, it's disappointing how both economic security and shorter work weeks have stagnated.

It's truly odd for example when women joined the work force, this massive influx of labor didn't move work hours by an inch. Likewise for all the automation that happened.

We seem to be able to dramatically improve on everything in record time except for work conditions. It's a work for work sake situation, where some 50% of our economy basically consists of keeping each other busy.

Keeping each other busy is made possible by mandatory consumption. Marketing, social status, inflation, planned obsolesce all create a strong incentive to consume.

So, that's the system. Work, regardless of purpose. Consume, regardless of purpose. Just do lots of both. Keeping velocity at proper levels requires constant stimulation, which tells us its unnatural.

Isn't it odd that our species sees consuming lots of resources as a good thing? Isn't it odd that we glorify labor even if that labor does nothing to advance mankind? Isn't it cruel how some 80% of people hate their work, yet we force them into a humiliating 50 year rate race anyway, consuming their life energy?

Is it all worth it? Are we sure we can't do better?
Off-the-shelf .sf2 files containing full-GM instrument banks simply don't have sharp attack samples. I hope they will start having them, but I don't know what it takes. Are single-instruments (or .sfz files) more likely to have them? Adding support in soundfont players for selectable articulation? MIDI 2? "Just buy a commercial plugin?"
Like Go, except there's no parallelism (and no preemption). I think Rust's approach requires colored functions.
I'm just pointing out that there is a vast difference between FAANG and the rest of the world. Especially in terms of interviewing. It's somewhat sad they discount experience when doing interviewing and only use it as a screening measure, but it does work for them, no denying. But many folks copy this approach, and it does not always work at small to medium sized companies. If you did 200 interviews at a 20 person startup and never read the resume, that would indeed be a problem.
Yes. But maybe it explains why it resurfaces now.
If the resume scanner is just doing naive keyword scanning, can't you easily insert things that ping the keywords without actually lying about anything?

Deployed software to Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac and Google Android. Configured firewall to block Facebook and Netflix.
Linqjs is not similar but better :)
Blade Runner, Forrest Gump, The Shining are all in my opinion better than the book.
"Interview would tell if it's a crazy person, someone who would burn my team, or exactly the type of person I'd want to hire. "

I find this is hard to guage in interviews.

Also, if they are making stuff up, it's hard to know which parts of their background are legit, which matters.
NIH Quietly Scrubs Funding for Puppy Torture Research from Study
Why does one laser go to the wall and the other hit a leaf? Is the idea that you point them at different places?
What are you drawing your conclusions re: VR from? Have you followed the research and used the hardware? It seems pretty clear we will have VR goggles that feel effectively indistinguishable from real life in terms of fidelity and optics relatively soon.

Also there are already decentralized exchanges within crypto assets (eg uniswap), but you do need to find a counter party to get out of fiat. It’s being worked on and centralized exchanges aren’t your only option. It would be worth catching up on DeFi.

Edit: btw I meant visual and auditory sensory override - I agree it is a ways off before you have full proprioception etc, if ever. Not necessary to beat face to face social presence tho.
My go to is MS notepad. I will write everything in paragraphs in notepad then copy paste it in. Nothing is more fast and convenient than the classic Notepad.

If only I could find something that is as fast as notepad, as convenient as notepad, as easy to work with as notepad but with Vim key bindings. That would be fantastic. Tried Gvim but that is no notepad.
Actually, for mature critical parts of a linux distro, even small changes can take years to reach end users.

I bet that changing the compression used by apt would need a little study of libapt, than understand the process to send the patch... in the specific case of apt, you'll have to write unit tests and persuade developers to accept your changes.

If it is accepted you'll may have to wait maybe even 3 years for it to finally reach an Ubuntu LTS when it will finally be deployed to end users who limit themselves to LTS versions by OEM vendors.

In the end, I understand them. A good balance between stability and new features is needed.
Yeah, "not an asshole" flags go further than you think.

Yes, I feel like the focus on making money is misplaced.

I started lessons in my early 30s, (although had a strong background in music before). Never had an interest in performing.

I view it like going to the gym. I don't lift weights to win some sort of weightlifting competition. So similarly I view playing piano as exercise for my mind, particularly areas which don't get as much of a workout programming and whatnot.

And while I do go to recitals where kids 25 years younger than me play harder pieces, I bet I can program a lot better than they can (probably) :)
Maybe make the DNS less US-centric (e.g. .com vs. .co.uk) and replace the PKI with DANE.

We should have had DHCP prefix delegation for IPv4 so people wouldn't need NAT.
Applicant tracking systems generally have very basic keyword filters reminiscent of the early 2000’s.

In part because of the lack of digital literacy in HR management in addition to finding and rolling out of technology.
I know more retired people (or people on disability/other state welfare) who watch Fox News religiously.

It's always on in their house.

They are uniformly obsessed with the election and Donald Trump.

Frightened. Paranoid.

They truly believe that the election was stolen by hundreds of thousands of votes from dead people and South American immigrants who have never stepped foot even into the lower bounds of North American Mexico.
That Trump is still, by the constitution, our sitting president.

They truly believe that the majority of liberal leaning college students grow up to eat babies, have abortions for fun, and have regular satanic rituals in their basements (lol, it's funny because they can't afford houses with a basement)

I don't particularly understand the urgency of the nature of your statement. There's definitely some urgency surrounding mine as uncalled for as it is though, as these people openly talk about wanting to massacre their opposition. Your side really just wants people to wear a mask and get a safe vaccination.
these people should research what the Soviets did to the environment. Or Chinese pollution today.

Blaming the economic system will get you clicks but it will not give you a thoughtful discussion.
On IPv6, I like using 2600::1.

Short and easy to remember thanks to the classic 2600 zine (named after the Captain Crunch cereal whistle which emitted the 2600hz tone for payphones). I wonder if someone at Sprint is a fan.
Unfortunately there are also non-Google websites that run slower on Firefox.

Example: Our startup's product (https://benaco.com).

WebGL is slower on Firefox (e.g. this bug on Linux: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1010527), so I use Chromium to work on it, despite using Firefox for everything else, for 19 years.
reviving the old saw about whether it's better to fight a dog-headed robot or a robot-headed dog.
Partially correct. In the shipyard the RMC can override the CO in several situations.
hmmm not like that here. MacBook Air M1: it's the "living room computer", the one to surf from the couch and I do really dig it but once in a while everything locks up. I don't know why. Sometimes it does unstucks itself while at other times I force it off (and when it's all blocked and I hold the button to turn it off, even that is kinda not very responsive).

I doesn't happen often, once every few days. But it's not anywhere near "Debian Linux" stable (where six months of uptime for a desktop are a regular thing).
...perhaps vim or neovim?
There's a major difference between repair/maintenance fires and the incidences afloat. Shipyard fires are being held to the highest standards ever since Oscar Austin, the submarine, and now LHD.
It's the not Armed Forces to make sure it's diverse in the terms you're talking about. The first thing they do in boot camp is breakdown the individual and create a team player. It doesn't matter what color you are, where you are from, you are all on the same team. Your life literally depends on the person next you. If you remove the colorblind meritocracy that military should be you are putting everyone's lives in danger. Diversity in the antithesis of what a sound fighting force is looking for.
Oh you know those people, do you?
Here come the category theorists.
Not an opposite. Dunning-Kruger works both ways:

> The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their own ability, and that people with high ability at a task underestimate their own ability.

(From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect, emphasis mine)
He became one of a diminishing number of liberal journalists who don't routinely put the interests of political party partisanship ahead of journalism?
Right, those parts are easy to check so you can assume them to be true and check them later. And then if those checks comes back false you just blacklist this person forever.
They don't need to engage in traditional warfare. It's enough to bring their products near their enemy and ask for payment in exchange for them. You know, what merchants do. The enemy is stubborn and insists in "paying" them with fake monopoly money, they are stubborn and don't discharge their merchandise. The people in the enemy country as so accustomed to high-quality cheap products that they want them more than a corrupt government, and would gladly rise against it if, say, their traditional Christmas presents are at risk.
Let me get this straight, recruiters can't distinguish a resume filled with obvious bullshit keyword stuffing, but they are going to remember everyone who's embarrassed them on the internet so they can blacklist them?

I really question the quality of coworkers you'd end up with, if you joined a company with recruiters like that.
So, on one hand I totally think there’s some really cool expressivity in these “everything is a lambda” language experiments.

On the other hand, it makes efficient runtime (runtime is a tricky word here ;) ) representation of data types a bit more opaque! Or at the very least I’ve seen little work that attacks that problem.

That said, perhaps all the optimization tricks developed for self and small talk etc are the answer here?
Do you have an argument to make other than whatabouting Snowden? Don't you think that being forced to seek exile in Russia makes it difficult for him to say anything about the media there?
Yeah, I'll send you my personal address if you verify your person in some way, and you'll be able to easily look at the county cable television statistics.

And if you'd really like, I can give you my browsing history too. I frequent none of the sites you've mentioned, only really spend time on HN anymore.

Can walk outside and take a timestamped picture of the flying Trump flags and every lawn with Trump 2024 poster signs as well if it would please you. Still some lock her up posters from years back around certain neighborhoods.

Could even put a voice recorder at the local range for a day and give you some good footage of just how often and casually these people openly talk about wanting to murder "the libtards"

You speak like you don't particularly have experience with small conservative U.S. towns. Everybody knows everybody, typically via church :)

But this sort of flame bait doesn't exactly belong on HN.
“Produced an algorithm that accurately predicts the spread of herpes in a college environment using social media inputs” would be very cool though

The idea of draft and edit was taught to me in high school but my high school english teacher was an author so perhaps they had better insight than most english teachers - I can't say since I only had the one teacher and they knew how to write.

I think in university the issue becomes largely one of limited time and effort budget. I was an engineering major and took some economics courses for a minor (which I never got in the end) that involved essay writing. The issue wasn't that I didnt know i could improve it by editing, it's that each piece of homework competes against each other piece of homework for time and attention. The goal is 'how good can I make it in the time I can justify putting towards it'.

I'm sure I made some boneheaded errors in some of my work but I was already doing 'homework triage' and leaving the least valuable but time consuming assignments to when I might be able to get to them.

Writing a work you intend to publish rather than submit to a teacher is a different exercise. It's hard to practice in an environment where you're already racing the clock to get your 4-6 hours of homework out of the way each night.
I'm browsing these comments having only read the headline of the OP.
I run all through the winter in New England, but I have empathy for people who don't like dealing with the cold and wet and the quite serious safety issues of ice and snow piled up everywhere. Even I generally try to avoid running in the rain just because it's unpleasant. As for clubs, there's the cost of a membership, limited hours, time/effort of getting to/from the place, poor aesthetics, the "ick" factor of shared equipment, contention for equipment, pandemic issues, self-consciousness, etc.

Also, many VR fitness apps are quite engaging and appealing in their own right. Supernatural in particular has nice scenery, music, a huge variety of challenge types and levels, dynamic full-body exercise, and a general game-like feel that many enjoy.

People have all sorts of concerns, strengths, and preferences. Dismissing or trivializing them with "just do what I find comfortable" is an attitude that practically never serves anyone - including the speaker - very well. In fact, any sentence beginning with "just" is a bit of a red flag.
Regarding item 4 "Copy Writing Styles You Like":

Ben Franklin, in his autobiography, describes an exercise he subjected himself to which consisted of, roughly:

1. Read an article or piece of writing you like.

2. Wait a few days for the specifics of the article to fade from your memory, but not so long that you forget the main arguments.

3. Rewrite the article without looking at the original

4. Compare what you wrote to the original.

I absolutely love this approach. His entire autobiography is wonderful, and a quick read.
A modern way to work around this problem is using distro agnostic containerized packages like snaps, flatpaks, nix, guix or homebrew.

I've been using old Ubuntu distros which still get security patches with flatpaks. This gives me a good balance of stability and modern user space software.

As an experiment, I'm keeping a Debian 11 in which I installed flatpak and GNU Guix. I can use very recent GCC versions and still have a very stable system. I still plan to install homebrew on it to watch how the different parts will interact.
So whoever thinks their case is weakest when viewed intelligently (i.e. ability to handle subtletly, nuance, complexity, rational over emotion, science, statistics) is going to need to get those intelligent people off the jury.
