I would think that quite a good chunk of people who go into tech (as a general domain) did so because they loved games as a kid. This is true for us and anecdotally, everyone I know who is in IT has tried their hand at making a game at one time or another.

As for "never too late": maybe when we're older, we do become aware that we are closer to the end than the beginning. Part of it is also the last few years. You don't thing the blackest of black swan events will happen until it does. So are you gonna do your best to be happy right now? Or are you gonna keep punting until the meteor comes?

Umm, I would totally buy your game. I love isometric shooters, rpgs, etc. First-person shooters, sadly, make me nauseated and barf-y within minutes. How far along are you guys in development?

There are a number of disadvantages to getting to the airport by LINK, especially if you have heavy bags.

The more apt comparison is calling a cab to take you to the airport. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes at any hour of day or night, and the pricing is equivalent to Uber.
I totally understand this from a rational standpoint, but if you take that to its logical conclusion, you expect that nothing will happen in that year that is very interesting or rare, so why look at all?

Sure, our timescales are nothing, making what we have even more valuable, no? We've missed out on a whole lot of observations - we have a lot of catching up to do!
Pork is identifiable a mile away.

Space Launch System - I think the funding line both required they use a bunch of tech (only made by certain vendors) but also prohibited any competitive bidding or evaluation of other approaches. $20B later we might get a rocket that costs $2B per launch? OUCH!

More common are the funny requirements docs. 5 years of experience but not more than 10 to reserve project for "new entrants". Located in a XXX district (improvement, benefit etc).
I'm usually of the opinion that the more information the better, but I also think that the dislike/downvote button adds a lot to the toxicity levels, mainly for comments. It's much better for a group to get excited about something and over-like it than for a group to get angry about something and over-dislike it.

So I guess I'd rather see the dislike button be removed more than I would like to use that information to inform me about the video in question. I don't tend to even look at how many likes vs. dislikes something has, anyway. My tastes are different enough from the norm that it isn't really that helpful of a statistic for me.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that "Freedom Speeches™" is your attempt to refer to a "selective defense of speech while denying same right to others, the responsibilities that come with rights, real world power inbalances"? So your sentence evals to:

> Perhaps if the courts allow individuals harmed by "selective defense of speech while denying same right to others, the responsibilities that come with rights, real world power inbalances", we won't need draconian hate speech laws and such.

Of course that sentence doesn't make sense regardless of what you replace "Freedom Speeches™" with, so it's really moot what "Freedom Speeches™" is supposed to refer to.
Genuine question - why are you "sick of it" - what does a large amount of downvotes actually "do" and why would that make you "sick"
Happy for you. Would love to see your work when you're ready!
Sort of but not really.

You can write out PNG files with deflate blocks that aren't compressed, so in that sense they are uncompressed PNG files, but all of the complexity of supporting compression is still there in the data format in a way that is not fully avoidable even if you don't actually compress the data.

BMPs on the other hand are simple to write, only a very small portion of the header data is required and then you can dump the image out as its raw pixel data in a way that they are probably already being stored in memory, making it a very easy format to support the writing of and a pretty easy format to support the reading of.
And what non-Android, non-Apple platform would users switch to?
That feels like a change that will help misinformation

> What's the reason for the emphasis on weight? .... As an example, Makani's Y-bridle design to attach the tether to the kite introduce stability issues

It's quite possible that if their kiteplane was much lighter that these tether issues would have been much less of a problem. Remember that the Makani tether also had to include some copper cable for power transmission to the ground. That makes the tether itself heavy as well.
Yeah… no. It isn’t as simple as writing down any idea you have magically becoming a story.

I really don’t like the framing here. To be blunt, this person is being a jerk.

For a real discussion on the process of making art of any kind, I recommend reading [Art and Fear](https://www.amazon.com/Art-Fear-Observations-Rewards-Artmaki...) by David Bayles and Ted Orland. It’s a lot more insightful about human nature than calling people lairs for falling into the same patterns that have existed since Art has existed.

I’m a fan of the audio book but definitely listen to the sample first. The narrator may not be to your taste.
You are forgetting the epidemic is still here, peak deaths in WA was just 1 month ago.
As long as you don't mind how it will affect the suggestion algorithm. The most maddening thing is when a video is of the correct topic of my interest, but I know it includes misinformation as well. If I dislike, it biases against seeing more of this topic. If I like, it might bias toward the misinformation. In practice, regardless, it seems to default rely on "leftwing vs rightwing" tags until it gets confused enough it just doesn't recommend the topic at all.

What a world we live in.
It’s a desire to get off cloud based tools where storage of highly personal data is encouraged but without no-knowledge encryption in place, which is increasingly frustrating to me.

Especially for a company like Evernote who are no strangers to security issues.

I also dislike the “AI based” content suggestion crap or whatever that is. I don’t want that in my note taking tool. Things like that cross a line for me. It feels yucky.

And in general Evernote has totally stagnated as a product in my opinion.

I’d even happily pay them more money if the product fitted more in alignment with my use-case.

It’s really been great over the years but there is so much they could have done to keep it relevant and for me it just isn’t any more.

DropBox has gone a little in the same direction. An “originally great” disruptive product that sadly has bloated and stagnated without adding much more actual value on top of the original concept.
It’s probably the number 2 most expensive monthly payment the average person has beyond a mortgage. What’s your point?

A Ponzi scheme requires an element of fraud. Very difficult to tell me that building a global fleet of ride hailing and being transparent with the financials is a Ponzi scheme. The outcome might be similar (later investors bearing most of the losses) but that's more of an investor problem and not fraud.

I studied computer engineering (EE/CS) from 1996-2001. My senior year the college offered a minor in VLSI design, it was a 4 course series covering the very basics of semiconductor design and test and as one of the projects we actually paired up and designed a small chip, here's a photo of the finished die. Simple 2-layer metal 1 micron process - this is a serial multiplier for two sixteen-bit integers. https://vazor.com/drop/mulman.jpg

Most of the students in these classes were graduate students, so with our normal course load as seniors in engineering, this was a tremendous effort. For a four-credit class I would sometimes have to work 20+ hours a week just on one class.

But, it was a good stepping stone to get into the industry - my first job was at LSI Logic executing physical design, timing closure, etc for their customers. I learned a lot but eventually stepped away from it to focus on software and startups - I didn't want to die at that desk - the designs and teams were getting bigger and the design cycles longer. I did not relish the idea of working for 3 years on a single project.

I do look back on it fondly though as it was closer to what I consider 'real' engineering - we did a ton of verification work and if you screwed up, it might be a million in mask costs and 3 months of time to fix. We did screw up from time to time and the customer often had some fixes, so on a new design, there were expected to be a couple iterations of prototypes before you went to production. I think the last design I taped out was in the 110nm node - ancient by today's standards.
Never said it was bad just pointing out the original posters false conclusion.
Aren't the digits-only keys almost useless? Who types a phone number these days? I either call contacts, or click on a phone link, or long-press on a phone number on the web then select Call, or click Call from Maps.

The loss last quarter was mostly ($2.5B) a mark-to-market write down of their stake in Didi, which they have not sold.
In playing with an M1 Pro 14" this weekend I noticed all HDR content I viewed was encoded in AV1. YouTube seems to have drawn a line between SDR and HDR with this codec. AV1 is amazing but still relatively early in its development and takes a ton of raw power for decode as M1* does not have a native decoder.

I almost guarantee this is the root of the issue. My friend doesn't have iStat Menus so I couldn't see the full resource picture but curious if the GPU is involved or its a pure CPU decode and the issue lays somewhere within that.
Long ago, the accuracy would decline as scar tissue formed around implanted electrodes. Not sure if that's changed in recent years as techniques improved.
Heads up - we should be WELCOMING foreign masters / PhD students in chipmaking - we don't need the pork, we need the people.

Taiwan in particularly, the salaries these guys get and how many there are is rediculous (low salary, lots of folks in field).
Another story involves people living in a community, well connected, aware of one another, mutually respectful and considerate.

Younger people shovel ways so the older people do not fall and get hurt.

One day, a few of those younger people have an idea and get their start from that community, who helps fund, perhaps some members sharing space, equipment, etc...
It's also interesting to look at how Taiwan historically built knowledge and expertise in technology manufacturing.

In the mid- to late-1970s (far before Korea entered the fray), Taiwan was the global epicenter of illegal clone manufacturing. Markets around the world - but especially Hong Kong - had a steady supply of cheap Taiwan-made Apple and (later) IBM clones.

The ironic part of the story is that cloning provided Taiwan with manufacturing expertise, and in short order, they were awarded legal contracts to manufacture legal computers from US companies for export to Europe and America. The Taiwanese government sent Taiwanese engineers to the US for training, and they returned to kickstart companies such as Acer, which originally started out manufacturing OEM clones for Canon and Siemens, but later started releasing computers under its own brand.

The conditions for incubating talent in Taiwan arose from piracy and a demand for cheap computers and parts - not sure if there's any modern equivalent to start the next wave of talent in Europe and North America.
The real problem is (which the article mentions), is that a lot of the time the things people write are something that they're forced to. Another bureaucratic task report, another writing assignment for a mandatory class that they have no interest in, another marketing gibberish article pandering to investors, another puppet news piece requested by people of higher status to protect their status quo.

Being forced to lie is one of the most mentally degrading things one can be imposed on.
There is definitely competition to YouTube. TikTok appeared out of nowhere and surpassed YouTube installation numbers.
With that said, TikTok is even worse when it comes to dislikes.
That’s not what happened with chip making, the major foundries are Taiwanese (TSMC, UMC) and it wasn’t due to labor costs but rather the extreme capital cost of fabs.

With all due respect, you don’t know what you’re talking about regarding this industry.
If you're concerned about one or two bits being toggled, a 512-bit hash will merely increase the chance of bit errors; on a noisy medium, using such a big "checksum" will BOTH detect and cause a high number of packet faults.
I'd BS on the actuality of this.

True, but the original title makes it much harder to understand what the story might be before clicking through. No doubt Google deliberately chose the title to do this, and this corporate strategy does successfully manipulate HN's title policy. HN rules try to keep the title honest, but it is counterproductive when the original title is dishonest.
Good point, there's clearly no conspiracy against the right.

...but the recent video of Biden getting sworn in has more likes than dislikes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2305DGsceE

He's been president for nearly a year. Youtube is really bad at this conspiracy stuff I guess.
I replied to a sister comment similarly, but the one resource that we are severely limited by is time. There were events that were far more common in the early universe that we may never see now. Rare things could happen at any time.

The reality is that we can't observe 100% of the time for resource constraints and that the cost/benefit of upgrading is totally worth it in the long run - rationally speaking its the right move. I will just always wonder what we are missing out on that we might never have the opportunity to observe again - or maybe not in our lifetimes.

Reading a book at the moment called "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism", which are the words of Tibetan Buddhist monk of renown Chögyam Trungpa. He also likens the development of spiritual presence to a blade. The trick with Sam's stated perspective, from this Buddhist perspective, is that it implies attainment of a desire: I meditate to be calm. Meditation can make people calm, and so can breath work. But if you say "I meditate to be calm and ride to wisdom", there are those who would say you are not meditating at all. They would say it is just "I meditate", and then "meditate", in these sort of Buddhist philosophies like Zen and similar.

I do not say this to gatekeep - but experiences have taught me that, absolutely, meditation and the path of spirit is very hard, dangerous and arduous work. Helping others through derealization and psychosis has taught me this lesson time and time again.

In my metaphor, meditation in the psychdelic context is a machete because it is the blade to cut through all the psychedelia, all the woo, all the false notions of personal loftiness from spiritual insight, all the ideas of being healed, all of the mind mess. It simply is the mechanism that you use to cut through, and then "become here and now", to allow yourself to heal beyond stories: depressive stories, happy stories, and into a state of mind that is resilient to the suffering of the times.
I think my above question was just answered here. I think YouTube is more aligned with the cultural movement of "positive things only" and only with certain ideas, i.e. COVID vaccine. I think it is a smart business idea for them.

They have named some prominent Americans. If they are actively censoring them no one has stated that.

People speculate that Americans weren’t large customers of the firms that leaked because a) US tax regime provides less benefit and b) Americans don’t need to go offshore because we have states inshore that provide similar benefits.

I don't even buy YouTube's claim that "brigading" or "dislike attacks" is a real thing or a problem. If they have a minimum number of minutes that a video needs to be watched before a vote is counted, then that vote is legitimate, full stop. YouTube are simply unhappy about which videos users dislike, whether it's the White House's videos, important brands, or YT's own videos.

I wonder if the mental health benefits require consciousness. Would be interesting to study if tranquilized or anesthetized subjects get the same effects.
Yup. I guess I'll use Youtube less, then. The downvote ratio contains so much information as to what video is garbage.

Less than 80% approval -> I don't watch.

I use a Ratings Preview chrome extension to show me the downvotes next to the thumbnails, and it will be rendered useless. I guess I'll just stop getting into Youtube rabbitholes now.

Maybe it is a blessing in disguise.
These videos have a lot of dislikes https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteHouse/videos
I just installed an extension to block all the recommendations because it wouldn't stop recommending Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro videos to me. And they have nothing new to say to me.

Edit: Oh no! I admitted that because I don't want to those videos I got rid of all recommendations. So off-topic I know!
"Appealing to children is an incredibly effective marketing strategy. It’s believed that 75% of all food purchases can be attributed to a nagging kid. To instil desire in a child is to cultivate it within the whole family."

Is that why all the TV Ads for cell phones seem to be aimed at people in their mid 20s? I assume those ads appeal to people much younger as well?
So likes show you how popular something is.

And dislikes don't show you how controversial it is, or perhaps how general Youtube audience reacts to being exposed to something.

So that now if you want to make it known you have to leave a comment. And then some stats have to be done on the comments to understand the sentiment. On Youtube's shitty unforum, you have to do stats. Right.

They just sealed it, all of their likes, dislikes, comments etc.; all of Youtube's non-streaming aspects are demonstrably useless, not just "feel useless", but actually are it.

Time to support things like ogjre.com and reddit etc., for they provide what Youtube denies.

Community. Forums. Thought. Orientation and discrimination. What is good, and who would think that it is. What is objectionable, and for whom.

Okay, I'll bite. Which distribution works on modern hardware and supports suspend/resume, WiFi, sound, external monitors, and printing without me digging into a config file at every different place I visit?

Just to be clear, I have been using Linux since 1992. I am completely comfortable with Linux on the desktop and the server. What I found is that Linux does not deal well with configuration, and configuration on laptops changes daily (or more).
I had two crashes on my new M1 MacBook Pro, never had such happenings with Intel macs. It's bad.

> I just wish they'd stop removing prominent Americans from what they publish.

What is the point of making incendiary comments like this but then not providing any evidence to back them up?

Which prominent Americans are ICIJ removing, and from which publications of theirs? And how do you know this? These are all basic things you need to preemptively provide evidence of if you're going to make a claim like this.
Maybe electromagnetic signals can disambiguate the two phenomena?

They have been steadily moving towards recommendation engines that rely more on inferred behaviors than direct feedback for a long time. I'm surprised they didn't just completely eliminate dislikes.

That aside, timing sure is interesting given the recent Nintendo fiasco. Wonder how much they spend on ads each quarter.
a lot of these journalists have been purchased by the elites and have their own axes to grind, so unless the amateur folks are given a framework to ferret out such information, not much will come out of this.
A quick look has the three year lease residual values on a Tacoma in the 75-80% range. That's higher than other trucks in its class (such as the Chevy Colorado at like 64%). With seemingly similar money factors and sticker prices, that will absolutely reflect in a monthly lease payment.
Hrm, I think it's your team being ignorant of a bug.

Other extensions do not move around my profiles at all upon install and usage, only this app.

Wasn't just a security thing, but a huge inconvenience I don't want to happen again, so I just uninstalled. As you can read, I'm not the only user that feels this way/has this experience.

EDIT: I see now that ya'll changed it so the extension is no longer needed. Nice work. The app is pretty cool! It might already be a feature I haven't found yet - but I wish I could filter (or sort) by date. I look up a lot of stocks and articles that are > 3 months old (and sometimes even >1 mos old) are not of value.
