Ask HN: Are Extroverts Interested in Metaverse?
My hypothesis is that people who, on the spectrum of extrovert to introvert, are more towards introversion are the ones leading or driving the efforts to build metaverses and similar people who are drawn to such environments. This theory holds good with my circle of friends. The ones who are not socially outgoing are the only ones who are even following updates related to this. I would also like to understand if there are certain domains of the metaverse that people who consider themselves extroverts are more drawn to.

Fitness & Gaming seem likely to appeal to everyone.

They do! They make parts for old tractors (really, old tractor chassis once everything else has been replaced a few times).

As far as why doesn't a new tractor manufacturer start up, they have to compete with a few things: first, the market for old tractors and parts (if they are repairable basically forever and the amount of land used by agriculture isn't changing, this is not a growth market). Worse, it's much more difficult to design a small engine for sale that is both reliable and will pass current environmental regulations. This is a major barrier to entry that didn't exist decades ago.

So if you're a startup in the ag space, it makes eminently more sense to make small parts for someone else's platform, which is why you see companies doing things like deploying GPS, cameras, lidar, datalogging systems. There, the market opportunity is "all tractors could benefit from this", the competition is initially "other small companies", the exit strategy is "get purchased by a large manufacturer who would rather buy than develop the tech themselves", and the regulatory environment is much more friendly.
Lol no problem, its probably what I expected. :)
That’s capitalism, and it’s not always bad.

It only becomes a problem when there’s no regulation, which is exactly what’s happening here. Apple has too much market power, and the government is doing nothing to regulate them. The only way Apple will stop doing evil and harmful things like this is if A) government steps in or B) Apple decides to stop trying to grow. B will never happen (it’s basically impossible for a publicly traded company)

The same is true for the other tech giants.

Either we need one big action (break them up), or a lot of small actions (force them to change specific business practices)
Agreed. I dislike all REPLs except maybe the Lisp one. In SML, OCaml, F# they are less useful anyway since the strength of these languages is to build up huge (but sound) abstractions.

I think the fascination with REPLs, especially in the Python world, is that it allows one to produce flashy web page snippets or Jupiter notebooks that look like work while they are really trivial (there is a similarity here to pg's remark that Java is partly popular because the boilerplate looks like work).

"Obviously the entire reason for a companys' existence is to make money"

That is not actually true. Corporations are a tradeoff for society: a corporation fulfills some societal need in exchange for investors receiving limited liability and a chance to profit. We have every right to question whether or not this arrangement is beneficial or harmful to society, and every so often a corporation will be broken up when society's needs are not being met.

Don't think that profit, limited liability, or anything about the current arrangement is a given or a natural right or anything like that. It is a system we use to accomplish certain shared goals, nothing more.

Guessing whom gets paid back first is often a great way to make a lot of money if you can monetize it. Think MBS tranches AAA or BBB. With the international real estate market being at all time highs there is a huge movement of money that will trade hands in the next 10 years. How that will happen and how to gain exposure is the 1mm dollar question. Maybe Aladdin and BLRK have the answer?

Facebook presents an existential threat to the business of most traditional news media and they have a platform that actively promotes misinformation. The Press is doing their job: finding out what goes on inside Facebook and reporting on it. As someone not really involved either way, the responses of Facebook to legitimate questions has been entirely unsatisfactory and justifies the negative coverage they’ve received.

Consuming 3-5g of salt in 1L of water makes the distraction less sometimes, I find. Also, coffee helps, as does the keto diet.
When these come up, I like to note that we likely also have to think about how to unwind the organizations that will build up around these practices.

Unless every removal op is a vertically integrated loss center in govt or large emitters, there will inevitably be people in the chain whose livelihoods or profits or stockholders benefit from keeping the spigot on (both of money for removal, and of emissions that necessitate it).

This is all assuming invention and improvement don't bootstrap easily scalable straightforwardly profitable removal practices.

Thinking ahead about this means a chance at putting up guardrails before there is an established lobby to push back.

Same here, I experimented with win 2k server as a domain controller and also installed Red Hat with Samba for doing mostly the same. Not because it was useful at home, but because 13 year old me wanted to underhand how it worked and had lots of time.

"Money corrupts everything"

BS. One of the only things Ayn Rand got right was her view of money: it is one of the greatest forces for good humans have ever invented. Money allows us to settle our disputes without violence; money is what enables peaceful trade; money is how we moved beyond palace economies.

Sure, money can corrupt some things, but on the whole money has likely saved many lives and in all likelihood the free societies we have today could never have existed without a monetary system.
And violence.

Every show they make seems like the result of an algorithm telling them people want more violence.

OK I went down a rabbit hole and also realized how terrible Usenet search is. I tried to Google for Usenet search engines and ended up with mostly spam :-( Seems like Hacker News is sadly a better search for these kinds of things.

Anyway I agree with most of what you say, EXCEPT I think Perl's focus on text vs. Python's more general purpose focus can be seen from the creators' very early release announcements!

One thing I've realized while working on shell is that the "bones" of a language are set in stone VERY early. Then comes 10-50 years of compatible changes that necessarily must obey many early design decisions.

Also I'm not saying the focus on text is bad -- in fact a big motivation for Oil is that Python is not convenient enough for text processing :) (and that it's awkward for process-based concurrency)

Perhaps my experience with Oil shows me all the stuff I'm NOT doing to support scientific computing. Even basic stuff like exponentiation x^0.2 is a huge bit of code, as well as scanning and printing floating point numbers, all of which shells lack. Oil should have proper floats but not in the initial versions. (Early in the project I also thought it would have efficient homogeneous vectors, before understanding why Python settles on heterogeneous lists and punts the rest to extensions)

From your link:

Perl is a interpreted language optimized for scanning arbitrary text
files, extracting information from those text files, and printing
reports based on that information. It's also a good language for many
system management tasks. The language is intended to be practical
(easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny,
elegant, minimal).

https://github.com/smontanaro/python-0.9.1 (I think this is from 1990 or so)

This is Python, an extensible interpreted programming language that
combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.

This is version 0.9 (the first beta release), patchlevel 1.

Python can be used instead of shell, Awk or Perl scripts, to write
prototypes of real applications, or as an extension language of large
systems, you name it.

This is very revealing! And prescient! The intent of the creators does seem largely borne out. Perl was extended to more domains but I'd argue that the "bones" prevented it from evolving as Python did.

If your library is under 10 gigs you can host it with namecheap shared hosting for a fairly low cost. You can take your gallery, zip it up, send it with the web interface, unzip it and have all your pictures online. There are probably static page generators you could use to make thumbnails and gallery browsers.
This is absolutely true. A related trend is that many family-owned farms are no longer operated by the family: they own the land and lease the farming rights to an industrial-scale operation. The difference in efficiency means that the large operator can pay almost as much for the lease as the individual farming family would realize in profit if they worked the land themselves and still have a viable business.
Lol, thanks, Sunday morning brain fart.
That’s a good point. The potential for destroying yourself financially may be a meaningful part of the addiction. At least at a casino you may be more restricted, you can’t use credit cards for example, while margin trading on Robinhood lets you gamble using credit.

macOS sees quite a lot of change under the hood from release to release that can make bringing unmodified drivers forward impractical. For example, in recent releases there’s been a push to move drivers away from the kernel and into userspace, which is naturally going to break old drivers. 32-bit support was also dropped not too long ago, which broke old 32-bit drivers.

> You cant do search within of all bookmarks at once, highlights, notes or spaced repetition integration of highlights with simple bookmarks.

Yes you can. Use sqlite on the underlying datasource and some minor scripting.

> ive always found bookmarks next to useless

You need to change your view on bookmarks: they are mostly a data source.

Nobody maintains a carefully crafted tree of bookmarks, if only because interests and personal ontologies change with time.

Instead of expecting yourself to click on your bookmarks, see them as providing extra data to create your own JIT approach, that will depend on algorithms and automation instead of requiring you to do many things by hand (including reading and summarizing)

If you want to write something, here's a simple candidate heuristic for such a score:

- level 0 is if you've visited the page at least once (if you haven't, you can't include it in your search)

- level 1 is if you've visited the page more than once, then and how frequently / recently

- level 2 is if you've bookmarked the page

- level 3 is if you still have a tab or a collection (in Edge) featuring this page

The Ctrl-F approach is the simplest way to test the efficiency of a JIT approach, and to let you compare it to the complex proactive approaches often suggested (which require effort, and will waste a lot of time for sure on the 99.99% cases where YAGNI)

Notice how without even touching sqlite, you can Ctrl-F in different places to hit level 0 (history), level 2 (bookmarks), level 3 (this one depends on your OS and how you can search active windows)

You'll get over 80% of the benefits for far less time spent on it.

If you really insist on making some DIY solution, using the time gained to improve the way you can use these datasources by putting them under one umbrella is likely to give you more gains than any approach requiring so many manual steps and tweaks.

It's like new years resolution: you'll give up after a while because of the effort/commitment required.

Except it's worse, because you'll have wasted time and money creating a complicated knowledge assimilation stack, while you could have use the same amount of effort to do something you're more likely to stick to, as it requires less effort.

The approach suggested here still requires highlighting and writing a note. I have no time for that: I read, and if something is interesting, I bookmark and hope I will remember the keywords.

And if I didn't even bookmark, as long as I more or less remember some keywords, I will be able to find that on DDG in a few minutes.

" It costs more energy to ignore a stronger signal," - wait, what, why? Do you have any citation for that? IMHO that has absolutely no basis in how neurons work, it does not cost a cell energy to ignore signals.

"making it harder for cells to learn to change input signals." this sentence is not even wrong; it essentially presumes that the default behavior is to "not change input signals", which is definitely not how neurons work.

"Humans having weaker signals could therefore be related to our ability to learn" - perhaps, but you provide no argument about the direction of causality there (if it's related, perhaps the weaker signals are caused by a different level of learning), nor for elevation of "could be" from mere possibility to why it's likely to be the case.

I'm not saying that there is no way that your hypothesis could be right, but you do need to pass a certain (quite high) bar of clearly stating your assumptions and demonstrating that all of the assumptions are reasonable before your hypothesis would be worth reviewing and evaluating, and there is very a big gap between "possible" and "plausible".
