I struggle with being too bearish. But I am right every once and a while.... which really is all it takes to self reinforce the idea. I feel something is off is all. Companies and what make to what they are valued i just don't see as realistic right now. If you run a M+A value on almost any company in the market for instance and you had all the money in the world you would not get a good deal right now. I also think that's why WB/BH is sitting on 130+billion in cash and getting killed by inflation, they would rather take that hit than accept the risk of a bad investment.
TLDR: An angry rant about PoW schemes. Views expressed are similar to the sorts of comments you've probably already read here in HN comments on past articles. If you're looking for some new insight, it isn't here.
I have come down to one metric in the end - sleep time (tracking with sleep++ on apple watch).

The rest of the metrics lost meaning to me - they fluctuate too much depending on the weather / schedule / other factors. They also do not affect me as much as sleep.
It is a gray area but I don't see any issue if you release it for free. Getting paid, even if to cover your expenses, is more problematic, however. I wouldn't say it's a complete non-starter but it would have to be structured very carefully and properly to avoid crossing any lines.
Yes, and in fact we even have a demo of our new RTK Query data fetching API (part of our official Redux Toolkit package) being used with Svelte:

I remember group projects in college where we would sit together, but because we were all using laptops and had full keyboards, it was quicker for us to type our thoughts in a group chat on the laptop than to verbally converse with each other even though we were all sitting within a few feet of each other.

My M1 Mac mini supports two monitors plugged in directly. I know you mentioned “laptop”.

OT: It’s nice that DisplayLink connections let an M1 machine have unlimited displays, and that the performance of their driver under Big Sur and above has been fantastic for me for the past half year for 2 extra displays. (Four total, 1 is vertical)
TBH I don't understand what you're saying. I'm having the same debate on 2 threads now so here's my quote to the other person who posted the same link:

"I looked at it and the study doesn't account for anything. For example, if a certain demographic were 2x more likely to die in an encounter, but 4x more likely to respond to a benign pullover with violence, then they're actually 2x more likely to be treated with less force than their actions require.

This is basic, the study (at least on my glance) appears to not account for anything like this at all."
Microsoft doesn't offer Windows 11 unless it is bundled with hardware. I am sure that if Apple wishes to sell Macbook Pro with Windows, Apple could reach out and Microsoft would be interested. But I really doubt that Apple would want to go down this route.
I'm Europe based at the moment, but I'm curious about how to validate your degrees from an European country to be recognised in the USA as a valid diploma and search for a job. Maybe is not your area of expertise, so I'm sorry for the question if is not.
OP addressed that:

> So the next logical step is to present the Wilson score directly, but this merely shifts the confusion elsewhere -- the user may find an item they're interested in buying, find it has one 5-star review, and yet its Wilson score is << 5, producing at least the same perception and possibly a worse one.

Though I'm not convinced how big of a deal this is. Even if you're worried about this, a further optimization may be to simply not display the score until there's enough reviews that it's unlikely anyone will manually compute the average rating.
it's crazy! like, I'm sure tesla is loving having the backlog, but this isn't some transitory issue like cnn wants us to think.
I am a DACA recipient, and have not been able to renew my application due to a situation that I will not get to specific with.

Author here, combining Redis protocol and MsgPack is a much more platform independent way of building a protocol.

The redis protocol and Msppack are both only a a hundred lines or so for a parser. Meaning you can build your own from scratch in a new language if one isn’t supported.

Its also stupid fast.

Compared to protocol buffers which can be extremely complicated to grok on the binary level.

I built a more robust API RPC for Python here based on Redis and MsgPack: https://github.com/hansonkd/tino
Anecdotal experience, but I am 5 years younger than you and recently bought myself a Titan Pocket, a small phone with a square screen and a keyboard, so that my phone would no longer be as exciting to use. So it's a very unusual device and whenever somebody I know sees it they ask me why I bought it. When I explain my reasoning most of the people my age seemed to understand my reasoning and also said that that they spend too much time on their phones. Out of the people few years older most of them did not express having that much of a problem with their internet habits.

I definitely think that unhealthy usage of internet is a problem of which the extend in society is not yet fully understood. Especially due the problems that come along with it such as depression and sleep problems. (Atleast in my experience.)

And I also agree on the traveling part, my usage was even more extreme with >8 hours almost every day since the age of 17/18, but whenever I travelled I did not have any desire to spend that much time on the internet. Probably due to the "quality" of feelings that one has when travelling and the ability to spend lots of time with a friend or loved one. (When not travelling alone)
Legend has it he actually escaped the fire, but died running back in to save people. He seems like the kind of figure that lends himself to larger than life tales, however, so I've never bothered to confirm or debunk that story.
They will still function if they have been under reasonable temperature control, but they will still undoubtedly lose capacity and therefore range. I have a 25mi commute each way and a 2012 Leaf bought today without a battery replacement seems like a pretty big gamble to me. Add to that that I live where winter weather is unkind and I am skeptical of how well old batteries would perform.

From my perspective, battery technology still hasn't proven itself in this regard.
It's really hard to talk to you, since you imply I am forcing some talking point. I don't even know what talking point you mean. I am not from the US, never been to the US, but I can only assume it has something to do with your politics? I also don't appreciate language like "If you really thought about this statement" implying I don't think. That is not necessary. It is really out of place to talk so lovelessly in a thread about love. You can assume good faith on most of HN. No one is attacking you and you don't have to attack anyone. I hope some day you will be able to accept that.

My point was and still is, that anecdotes from people with majority background (as you put it) are not more or less useful to more or less people. When we talk about feeling we don't even know what 'majority' would be as it is really hard to get the real data; to talk about feelings honestly and faithfully. So it makes sense to let people talk first, to gather the actual experiences of real people, without assuming they have majority or minority point of view, and without assuming one of those is more or less valuable. After all, if an experience doesn't resonate with you, you can just let it be and move on.
Qualified immunity and self regulation are big ones. I'm not sure if police in other countries can kill people for dubious reasons and the legal results is, "they acted within the policy and the law."

Also deferment of consequence. When a cop does something wrong, neither he, nor his union, nor the department, nor his pension fund, nor his budget face any financial consequences; that's a burden of the city, ultimately the tax payor, who ironically is the group being infringed upon.
Is it user hostile to prevent the user from speeding? From parking in front of a fire hydrant? From driving to an illegal gathering? All of those can result in jail and death (including the last one, as those protest epidemic studies can attest to).

How about driving without a license, or past curfew?

Any action contrary to the user's wishes is user hostile. You are welcome to give inanimate objects (and those who control them) power over you, but don't drag the rest of us into your utopia of begging our cars and appliances for permission.

Ah but I'm committing the slippery slope fallacy. I'm sure that unlike all the other surveillance state creep, this particular genie, once out of the bottle, won't spread.

Consider reaching cold on LinkedIn with no "sales" agenda and explain your interest in reaching out. Pretty sure most people worth adding to your circle would appreciate actually not getting a sales pitch on LinkedIn through a connection request.

I find connection requests that are of a non-sales variety are so rare on that platform these days, it really sticks out when I get one.
Bodycams are frankly an attempt to answer "who watches the watchmen", porch cameras are not. They both involve cameras but I don't see the connection aside from that, and would dispute one thing being the inverse of the other.

Show HN: Pixel Plants
Here's an image, displayed at "normal" resolution. One pixel of source image goes to one pixel on the display.

Now we zoom. We're displaying a smaller part of the source image, but putting it on the same number of destination pixels. So where do the extra pixels come from? There are (at least) two possible answers:

1. We repeat source pixels across multiple display pixels. This leads to aliasing - to blocky stair-steps in the displayed image.

2. We make up values for the extra display pixels that were not in the source image. This is done by interpolation, not just by random guessing. Bicubic interpolation is pretty good. But still, the program is in fact "making up" values for the new pixels.
Is that really true? The gas stations around me (in the middle of a city) are generally pretty empty inside, but full of cars filling up. They also sell gas for a few cents higher. It seems like it's a mix of the two strategies.
First graphic.

That said, that assumes we only use USA-style LWR/PWRs that depend on natural U-235 to operate, I think, given that the numbers I've seen for reactors operating on unenriched uranium point to more like 50 years as super low-end estimate.
The Metaverse v1.0 Is Already Here
Apologies of you've answered this elsewhere, but is the eBook DRM-free?
I believe that many people will do what I did - install a charger at home. Charge your car while you sleep. No inconvenience, no hidden fees. Which means that the charging industry needs to only serve a fraction of what gas stations currently do.

The only time that I care about superchargers is on a long trip.

Incidentally OCPP is a total mess. I looked at what it takes to implement it a couple of years ago. What they really need are some reference implementations. Because as it stands you just code something up according to the (rather complicated) spec, and then have to deal with interoperating with everyone who read the spec differently. Guess how well that works?
There is also neoliberal effetcs at play : government agencies have been underfunded and now they need to step up and hire temporary workers from job agencies.

There are plenty of ways to do this without data going to the cloud. Plenty of non-cloud connected cameras- though many are more commercially oriented- and software that's reasonably priced like BlueIris. Everything is recorded in H264 so storage isn't crazy if you don't keep all of it forever. Many cameras also end up at (or can be set to) 10-15 FPS, which also cuts down storage requirements.

BlueIris is actually pretty nice. I got a bunch of cameras from ebay and such- some wireless, some wired and POE powered- and just use BlueIris to manage them locally. Ended up with more cameras that I really needed, so I also have one permanently pointed at a bird feeder for fun...

"Avoiding needing to spill registers to the stack" is a focus of much optimisation work in lots of places - and, yeah, it's absolutely work but the performance gains can still be worth it.

Plus I'd argue that SPARC is enough simpler to work with than x86 in other ways that you could look at it as "spending your complexity budget somewhere else" more than it being more headache inducing.

How popular is Canada becoming as an alternative to the US for both YC companies and employees? For reference, I believe the US takes in approx 2 million immigrants a year whereas Canada's target is at 400k. Additionally, the USA's population is 330 million compared to Canada's 38 million.
To be sustainable, nuclear also needs to be sustainable economically. There's a cost problem with nuclear that often gets swept under the carpet by its proponents. But it's actually a big reason for its current lack of popularity.

Nuclear proponents instead love to emphasize how safe nuclear can be and how great of a safety track record it has. And with some caveats (e.g. the Fukushima mess was pretty bad) they are not wrong for modern nuclear reactor designs. However, nuclear is expensive and that combined with safety (which costs money to mitigate) is the real reason for the impopularity.

It always was expensive but historically, a lot of that was paid for out of tax payer money. Most new plants are still very expensive compared to almost everything else in the market. And they still involve a lot of taxpayer money.

Nuclear is not economically sustainable currently and those cost are either not payed (many countries don't have permanent waste storage solutions) or basically payed for out of tax money instead of revenue. If you add it all up it makes an already bad cost picture worse. Even without that accounted for it is easily the most expensive form of power. With all that accounted for, it only gets worse.

To be economically sustainable, it needs to become vastly cheaper and account for the full cost.

Will it always be that expensive? There are definitely ways to lower cost and there is of course a learning effect. But it seems we have a lot to learn. About an order of magnitude's worth of cost. And that would just be catching up to the status quo.

Demand for GPUs for Ethereum mining goes to zero in Q1/Q2 2022, when the beacon chain merges with mainnet. Quote: "This will mark the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum, and the full transition to proof-of-stake."

https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/merge/

The price of (demand for) GPUs is strongly correlated with the market price of Ethereum. The Economist, June 2021:

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/06/19/crypto-m...

Today, just like in 2018, we can see the price of Ethereum reflected in Nvidia's stock price. When Ethereum moves to proof-of-stake, mining GPUs will flood the market and demand for new GPUs will no longer be tied to the cryptocurrency bubble.
That's the $64,000 question because it changes all the time and so is incredibly challenging and frustrating. That being said, the trend is definitely toward the opening up of consulates in general and to third-country nationals in particular. Many of the US Consulates in Europe, for example, have opened up. We're also seeing a positive change as a result of the lifting of the travel ban on November 8th. Regarding Canada and Mexico, there's been no announcement but I suspect soon - and Mexico is accepting TCN applications but only on an emergency basis.
> the fed increases the interest rates to curb the inflation, you will end up with an asset that depreciate regardless of your fixed mortgage

Only if it is stagflation (inflation without underlying strong economic activity), which is rather exceptional in the US. If it is (more normal for the US) activity-driven inflation, Fed tight money policy to constrain it isn't going to do more to reduce real home prices than the underlying activity is to drive them.
Apple cpus specifically, or arm64 in general? The same class of bug (i.e., speculative execution) or something else altogether?

Reading this was less than helpful - I have nothing nice to say about this piece. It's just another copy of the genre of 'Metaverse' hype that is an agglomeration of fluff, buzzwords and content farm quality writing.
I agree with that. The study doesn't account for that because it doesn't make any sense, how could skin color make a person more likely to respond with violence? Can you explain the mechanism for how a racial demographic could be "more likely to respond to a benign pullover with violence"?
> Imaginary numbers exist on a dimension perpendicular to the real number line.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that imaginary numbers exist in a dimension with any sort of fixed spatial relation to real numbers. Isn't the fact that we chose to graph the imaginary axis perpendicular to the real axis on the complex plane simply arbitrary? Or maybe better described as "a functional way to visually plot the negative root component of a number."

My understanding is that visualizing the imaginary portion of complex numbers on a spatial plane with perpendicular axes also just happened to get a convenient 90 degree rotation by multiplying by i, and rotations like this just happen to show up all over nature. For example, the wave function they mention in the video, where they say it has an "imaginary component," seems like complete bullshit to me. You could write a program with real numbers in order to graph that wave...in fact I guarantee that's how a technical artist visualized it. In fact, it's the same with the Mandelbrot set, which supposedly "exists on the complex plane." No...it doesn't. It just happens that if you describe the arbitrary rotation operation that is performed in order to define whether or not a coordinate falls within the Mandelbrot set or not, the rotation from the way we've chosen to graph the complex plane means the equation can be written very concisely like this.
Japan has been experiencing deflation, not stagnation, for the last couple decades. Of the two, stagflation is decidedly better because you can protect yourself from it through diversification.

Another way of putting it:

On top of all the challenges imposed by government, why should Chinese people get the benefit of best-in-class performance, 5+ years of software updates, and relative security in a high-quality phone? Shouldn’t the west punish the people of china by withholding their best technology products?
