I love reading about this personal automation hacks.

I do also live in my note taking app, Bear, and I tried a similar system with bookmarks: I was using Pinboard and set up automation to ingest bookmarks into Bear directly. It didn't work out because 1) too clunky, too many moving parts 2) automation was removing ME from the process, I was not able to "curate".

What I do now is just dropping relevant links in my notes, creating new ones when needed. It's dead simple and ugly and yet works way better than any other bookmarking system I tried.

Creating notes from ebooks is definitely more complicated, because we are constrained by the Kindle interface. I have yet to try connecting the highlights to my notes, thanks for the inspiration!
Agree with title. In 99% of business use cases, typescript/nodejs/reactjs is enough.
Writing Code at all can be a Form of premature optimization
This is exactly it. Your chances of getting rich off that 0.n% are about the same as the percentage itself. The odds are stacked against you and there is an element of luck to any startup, regardless of how good the idea and execution is. But being there during that ride is something else. The experience and connections you will make will carry over and accumulate in your next venture and the next, etc.

Could very well be that the real uncultured babarians survived as homo sapiens. I don't think more sophistication at this level necessarily leads to more evolutionary success against other intelligent primates.
Here in the 3rd world you pay for parking at almost all the malls you go to. But since Covid kicked in they've either had to change everything to be contactless, or to just open the booms (which is what the majority have done).

I’d argue that 1. It wasn’t a microprocessor, and 2. There is no point counting “secret hardware”, same way we don’t include never released prototypes.
Corona vaccination in the Netherlands has been pretty strictly “invite only”. I.e. once your age group had its turn, you got an invite to make an appointment to get the injection.

Currently no one in NL has gotten any booster yet. They hope to start 60+ somewhere beginning of December.

So as an example, come 03-01-2022, if you’re 30 and you have a Janssen shot and you want to go to Austria you’re out of luck. It’ll be months before you’re going to get the booster and you cannot “get it off label”.
Karat represents everything wrong with how we interview in the tech industry. After being in tech for dozens of years and having interviewed and hired hundreds of people, an interview with Karat was one of the experiences that shook me to the core and told me It was time I retired. I’ve seldom felt so dehumanized.
Yah, I've used some lame-assed JSON parsers whose authors thought they knew it well enough in their head that they didn't bother looking at the nice spec that laid it all out for them in black and while.
> Hopefully not just "because it looked cool"?

Isn't that reason as good as any other?
Housing policy doesn't just affect the people who live in a place, but also the people who work in a place.

Those people still have skin in the game, but they aren't allowed to vote on that place's housing policy. Consider that the cashier at your grocery store might not be able to afford to live in your city, and has to drive an hour each way to work every day. They have no say in that matter.

(And no, they can't just get a job closer to home. There isn't enough demand for grocery store cashiers there for every cashier-commuter, more or less by definition.)
not to go too deep, but there is a qualitative difference behind the sort of "suspicion that everything is spying on you" and "it is very clearly legislated and discussed that certain spying is happening on devices X/Y/Z".

It's the difference between "let's use signal to communicate" while using an android or like... "let's go over this through email" when taking notes on a criminal conspiracy. Sure, your unpatched android probably has spyware on it too, signal might have issues, but you're guaranteed to have a lot of trouble with emails sitting on some server.
Same, I also got an ear infection not being careful when wearing Apple Earbuds
Because most children don't have a severe case of covid-19 doesn't mean that there is no benefit overall.

For once because there are only few severe cases it is much more difficult to assess that there is a benefit. Like if for unvaccinated children 1 in 10_000 has a severe case but for vaccinated it's 1 in 100_000 that's gonna take a while for studies to verify.

There are no reasons to believe that the benefits for society are less than for vaccinated adults. Like less time being infectous and less infectous to begin with.

But yes that has to be weighted against possible detrimental issues but how is that different to any other trial study for a vaccine?
Apple just came out with a new model called the Beats Fit Pro which has all the features of the AirPods Pro but also has an extra wingtip to keep them in your ear.

Wouldn't the nimbys hold out for a higher price forever?

That's what happens if you try to build something like a railway: Once you've brought up 95% of the land you need, the owners of the final 5% realise they can demand a huge sum.

Which is why we have the GDPR to prevent this dystopian shite!

The only people on HN who object to the GDPR are those whos scummy business model exploits user data (and those who don't realise GDPR popups only need to exist because advertisers must now ask permission to use your personal data; and so they should!).

I've met several people who learned Python and refuse to learn any other language. I wonder if this mentality exists for other languages
As far as I can tell, the only reason for a Go 2 (as opposed to a Go 1.nnnn) is "we introduced a breaking change". Things that were considered "Go 2" are being worked in, as the language evolves, without the need to break previously written code.

Here in South Africa thieves are stealing just more than 3km of copper cable from our national rail service per day. We don't really have the infrastructure (or will) to start going after the people buying it, so it remains a problem.
Absolutely, the bit-plane modulation implies that the duty cycle more or less corresponds to brightness, so you only get close to 100 % duty cycle from a DLP when the output is close to full brightness. Though there is some additional trickery here - at least the colorwheel DLPs actually modulate the light source in sync with the bits, so for an 8-bit output the LSB duration is not actually 1/127th the duration of the MSB. There could be more tricks - it's probably not necessary to actually have all the LSBs around every time you show the same frame, which leaves more time to reduce the duty cycle.
You should be safe if your scanner uses either JPEG, lossless JBIG2 or other lossless compression.

If however it uses lossy JBIG2 compression, it is quite possible that it suffers from the same problem, due to how lossy JBIG2 compression works.
Safety mandates also help drive obsolescence, which helps car manufacturers sell more cars, which in turn keeps the used car market well supplied. (It's basically a very progressive tax that mostly falls upon the wealthier.) Most safety mandates seem to be largely voluntary, AFAICT--literally, or with deadlines that go unchallenged by the industry--as the regulatory agencies hash out timelines with manufacturers so they can maximize return and minimize cost inflation by letting the features trickle down from luxury models over the course of 5-10 years. IIRC, backup cameras are a great example of this, with companies like Toyota preemptively committing to adding them to all cars across their lineup before (or at least very early during) the industry and regulatory agency negotiations.

I think the most costly safety "taxes" (e.g. impact resistance) effectively just translate to heavier cars. Fuel mileage requirements also had the perverse second order effect of increasing car sizes. These are the closest analog for housing. There was recently a lot of noise about
California requiring sprinkler systems in new single-family homes, but that just ends up increasing costs by like 1% or less. It's de minimis to begin with, and should drop as builders adjust their processes. (I realize these things add up, and I'm not trying to defend the sprinkler mandate, but there are also counterveiling forces--like standardization--which push back in the other direction.) But minimum square footage requirements for units, maximum height requirements for buildings, etc... those go straight to the bottom line of primary costs (property, raw material, and labor) similar to car size and weight. But unlike cars, the health & safety benefit of modern unit size requirements (i.e. the marginal increase over, say, mid-century requirements) is basically non-existent and were in many cases quite literally crafted in the first instance to limit housing supply.
Or why not just have a bigger battery to begin with?

Tax are also a way to contribute to the public good. Not paying the tax is refusing to contribute.

So although I do understand it's a sad situation, the movie team should have first made sure it could pay the tax and then do the stunt.
I wish behind head/neck headphones made a return. Seems like they disappeared several years ago, and now only exists as a sports equipment, with neckband connected to earphones, which is not the same. I used to find them much more comfortable than the ones that you put on top of the head.

If you're making $17/hr in an unskilled job in SF, and move to somewhere cheap, you're probably now making $12/hr. Maybe that change is worth it, maybe not.

I see what you want to say. But to be honest, from a personal point of view as an european with an irrelevant job, I'm very much less concerned of being spied on by China or Russia than by Google or Facebook. I'm sure the "western" companies are much more likely to betray me to a suddenly hostile local government.
This blog post assumes Python is more productive than other languages. People like to make this claim about not only Python, but many other dynamic programming languages, specially Ruby, PHP and Lisp... but there's very little evidence to support that... programmers tend to be most productive in whatever language they know best. If they know both Python and Java equally well, I would bet they would be almost exactly as productive in either.

Doing it with models would have been real bad I guess. Before Lucalsfilm, models were quite looking like models.
It makes me think that biases were always committed to with profit in mind.
Is this just a measurement thing though? like "dark matter" is the stuff that's left over after we account for everything else.

Similarly, saying modern humans have 98% modern human DNA seems a bit circular. And how is that 98% calculated? Don't we share 98% DNA with chimpanzees and bananas or whatever? Is it 99% of that final 1%?

A more relevant example: the diversity of genetics in Africa could be counted as like 20 "races" if races were based on genetics, but instead we generally lump them mostly into 1 of 4-5 vague historical socioeconomic groupings. So you have one "white" parent and you're mixed race, but you could have two more genetically different African parents and not be considered mixed. It's nostly about where you draw subjective lines.

EU is experiencing surge in electricity prices, thanks to green idiocity. Wind and solar subsidized so heavy, nuclear closing, coal bad. But double the price of electricity is fine!
I think the issue with Tesla was the lack of technologies that would let it automate to the desired extent. They have plenty of money now, and they still employ tens of thousands of people. Tech simply doesn't exist yet to do what humans do even for car assembly, let alone anything more complicated or bespoke than that.
You are right, in that the article doesn't see camera (or any technology really) as neutral.

For those not familiar with 99pi, the focus is on how makers/designers make choices that can often be invisible to us, but influence the environment we live on. This is a fantastic podcast I would recommend to anyone curious about the world we live in. It has biases, but they are stated and argumented, not just thrown around irresponsibly.

In this specific case, there was two specific angles:

- the film industry as a whole didn't really care about diversity, and film dynamic range was deemed good enough if it could represent lighter flesh tones and bright surroundings. Kodak exec is quoted on this subject as really not giving a damn about darker skins, and their rationale for making efforts to expend dynamic range a lot further was to allow better representation of white and dark chocolate products, among others.

You might disagree with that take, but it all comes from Kodak employees from that area, as far as I understand.

- the other was on print calibration: whatever you did with your camera, printing at a Kodak shop would be done with presets setting adjusted for light tone skins (the "Shirley cards" of the title are the photos of white girls used as reference)
Here again, the info comes from technician working on printing at the time.

PS: Then there's more stories on group photos, light meters etc. if you care at all I would recommend listening to the whole thing. I also do photography (as an amateur) and it was still interesting to me.
The article is not suggesting to use Python under all circumstances.

Here's the conclusion, which summarizes the essay:

> All of this is to say while some companies do extract massive value from squeezing every CPU cycle out of their code, those companies also typically build data centres. So if you don't need a dedicated building to host your machines, please consider doing the math to see if it's truly worth making your developers less productive in the name of computational efficiency when you don't even know if that perceived efficiency is even necessary.

As an example, the kernel of my software is only a few hundred lines long. It's in C with AVX2 intrinsics to eek out the last bit of performance. The Python overhead is <1%, which means that even swapping out Python with a 1,000x faster language won't be noticeable. This is the '"glue" code' mentioned in the section on 'Use language bindings'.

Had I started with "It needs to be fast therefore I can't use Python", then it probably would have been a lot more work to do. (See, "numerous anecdotes of where someone implemented something in Python in 1/3 the time a competing team did creating the same thing in e.g. C++ or Java".)

A cynical take would be that currently there are enough emotional outlets for one to feel like one is actually making change, rather than actually making change, that no "real" shift will ever happen.

Assuming there is a way to catalyze real change, how would you even get enough people to buy-in, and why would they? If there are an endless amount of emotional "fixes" to the feeling of "something is wrong, I am uncomfortable with the way things appear, I should do something" -- that also have an almost zero-cost to doing, but create no tangible change -- why would anyone try something "different," when what they have already is able to regain emotional homeostasis?

The only reason I can think of is a rare moral fiber, that pushes one to do what is uncomfortable; which in the end is still the same thing: fulfilling an emotional need (e.g. I would be a deadbeat coward for willfully deluding myself that any other path is anything but emotional masturbation, so I should do what I can to avoid feeling like so).

What are your thoughts on my notions? Do you have any hope? Or is this simply a tragedy that one needs to accept, and keep on moving forward.
The issue is that the machine has no causal model of how the predictions are leading to the data. You could, as you say, try to single-out some variables and rig how they're processed.

Here I dont think that helps: so long as you predict area A has more crime, area A is more policed and thus always appears to have more crime.

The issue, in my view, is not the data nor the algorithm -- no modification to either can fix the issue. The issue is the machine isn't embedded in the world, and esp. has no ability to acquire a rich understanding of the human social environment.

A fundamental aspect of understanding X is knowing what is irrelevant to X, ie., what "data" it is permissible/essential to ignore. In the case of crime, one ought ignore data from over-policing -- but this is not an effect which is present in the data itself.
