[…] But those kids, although smarter than average, usually aren’t as smart as their *fathers*: partly because their *mothers* typically aren’t theoretical physicists, partly because of regression towards the mean.

I am often in a situation where bash/zsh history is not enough and I need to retrieve some command executed in the past with its output, or I need to retrieve set of commands which were executed in certain directory and in certain time period etc.

Normally bash does not save commands which start with space, I plan to implement this feature to nhi as well, namely
nhi will ignore all commands that starts with space.

Thanks for the comment, I will try to address the denial of service issue in the future.
You could easily argue they both did and do. Raw materials (see Cobalt mining in DRC as example) for semiconductors are tracible to mines throughout central Africa and South America that use child slave labor. Visa/Mastercard uses computers, which have semiconductors, which use slave labor as seen above, so they too use slave labor. It just depends how far you want to set the scope of the argument but you could easily trace all companies in all developed countries to slave labor arguments similar to the above.
Cool repo! You've now sent me down a deep Sopka rabbit hole..
It's hard to Google for sources on this since you just get people talking about the vaccine. Here's something I found:

> Across all ages, the risk of myocarditis was almost 16 times higher for people with COVID-19 compared to those who aren’t infected. The myocarditis risk is 37 times higher for infected children under 16 years and seven times higher for infected people ages 16-39 compared to their uninfected peers.

Not sure how the second example of buying a shiny new wallet is different from the first example of buying a shiny new cup. Seems like a better example for “wabi-sabi” would be continuing to use a wallet even after one of the flaps breaks, as long as the other flaps hold what you need them to.

> have you seen the new psyop where vaccine holdouts now get the shot but believe they can quickly remove it, similar to reacting to venom? I’ve been starting to think of things like that at their level of comprehension. I’m getting better at it. Will be procedurally generating this benign nonsense soon.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with anything you're saying here, but more and more I wish I had some kind of debugger that I could run on internet comments, and it would show me all of the inputs that a commenter saw that led to the comment in question. All the various social media threads, conversations with friends/family/doctors, published papers, news articles, every single input that factored into what was written.

I say this because this comment to me seems like nonsense, because it doesn't line up with any of my inputs. Which of course doesn't mean it actually is nonsense, it just looks that way to me.

I think if we had this capability, people would actually be able to understand each other. Instead we just have everyone thinking that the sum of their own inputs is the ground truth, and everyone else is a nutjob.
I used to use lose it but swapped to fat secret. Its database isn't as good as lose it but it's getting better and it doesn't nag.

Globalism, why war is obsolete.
Without being applied at massive scale we probably wouldn't even be able to link the two. 13.3 cases of myocarditis per 100,000 (moderna) or 2.7 cases per 100,000 (pfizer) would be very hard to detect if we weren't giving out billions of doses. For perspective, the global before-covid rate of myocarditis was something like 1.5 cases per 100,000.
I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. Very painful rehash of the block size war.

Kinetic conflict anyways. Economic warfare seems alive and well
I've been fascinated by the ideas of this piece ever since I first read it, particularly by the idea that leisure time is something that many - or most - people actually have a hard time dealing with and integrating into their lives.

I wonder now what other "Wikipedia"-type projects have arisen since 2008 to serve as similar public goods. GitHub? Maybe YouTube, if you squint hard enough?
Covid increases your chances of myocarditis by an order of magnitude, so it seems obvious that the vaccine that prevents covid is the way to go.
Haha Ive been advocating for something similar! And by advocating, I mean saving what people say and bringing it up to them months later for public shaming, to reveal how idiotic their influences are. Because right now everyone is just part of a gradient in a void, indistinguishable from the last person that said something similar to them.
Also for those unfamiliar with the layout of DC, the National archives and the Smithsonian are literally next to each other and a document like this obviously belongs at the archives (which is of course why it is there already).

> The author is saying that this would work as expected, with offspring gaining around 50% of their parents' extra longevity.

Not for lifespan. What the author didn't mention is that this equation works for traits affected by a large number of genetic variants, each with small, roughly additive effects. Most heritable traits are like this, and if you plot the probability distribution for one, it looks like a normal distribution. Lifespan, on the other hand, is not at all normally distributed and you shouldn't expect it to work the same way as things like height.

(Regarding your proposal, another idea that would probably be more cost-effective is to find people who are already extremely smart and clone them. More details: https://fantasticanachronism.com/2021/03/23/two-paths-to-the...)

Correct. I use YNAB as a system to ensure that every dollar of spending on my credit cards are backed by liquid cash. I'm not going to argue the merits or downsides of something like YNAB; use whatever suits you.

But when that card statement balance comes due every month, it should make no difference because the cash was already deducted from my books when I made the charge.

The fact that Craig paid for bitcoin.org and reported Bitcoin in his taxes in 2009 is pretty telling, especially the early correspondence verified by multiple parties. I think at this point there is no question that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. He has signed messages with blocks 1-9 and there has been a ton of Satoshi era BTC moving in the past month. Him signing or making transactions as himself would invalidate the fact that these BTC are controlled within trusts. He himself may not actually have the private keys to sign, and that doesn't prove anything in and of itself.
The possibility of losing and having to pay for all of those corporate lawyers in addition to one's own lawyers seems like an even bigger disincentive to me. What am I missing?

> Energy consumption is not fundamental in any way. Proof of work depends only in the consumption of some resource that has economic value.

Yes, or in other words: PoW has to waste something valuable. This something doesn't have to be energy, it can also be physical devices + the energy needed to produce/operate them - or whatever else someone can think up.

My actual point was that the amount of cost per unit of work is unbounded - and to my knowledge this is true for all PoW schemes: Otherwise, an attacker could simply invest enough resources to produce more work units than everyone else and capture the network.
There is a line of arguments that are sometimes made which claim that immigration leads to the stagnation of wages (abundant supply of workers -> lower wages).

I believe the author is trying to express this.
Plenty of independent ideas are also nonsensical

Intent matters. Buying a floor lamp just because it looks good in IKEA catalogue seems misguided. However, I find floor lamps extremely effective at creating a cozy relaxing ambiance (cold overhead LEDs are the worst). Luckily, it doesn’t require much beyond a good old incandescent bulb and some secure holder for it.

I‘m looking for an alternative to send mail and receive inbound mail. I‘d prefer to connect my domain so I can send from an API+interface (like gmail).

Is there a service like this out there?
If you don't wanna give them more ammo, yes.

If someone is hell bent on that, you must minimize your vulnerability surface.

So just distance yourself emotionally, act professional and document stuff.
My main gripe with borg, personally, is that it's push only. I want to be able to back up my VPS without having to have it ssh into my home network.

Good read.

This is from 2008 and hindsight is 20/20 but theres a couple of disturbing omissions that have started making themselves apparent.

The piece emphasizes how all of this "cogitive surplus" is going to promote sharing and in the hands of good actors that's fantastic.

E.g.

"Just to pick one example, one I'm in love with, but it's tiny. A couple of weeks one of my students at ITP forwarded me a a project started by a professor in Brazil, in Fortaleza, named Vasco Furtado. It's a Wiki Map for crime in Brazil. If there's an assault, if there's a burglary, if there's a mugging, a robbery, a rape, a murder, you can go and put a push-pin on a Google Map, and you can characterize the assault, and you start to see a map of where these crimes are occurring."

But now for the other side of the coin. What happens when the people providing and sharing content are _bad_ actors?

E.g.

https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-ch...

Further, you're always assuming the provided data is accurate. It mandates a level of trust with the data provider. Sure, there may not be much incentive to provide fake data to a simple crime map but this can change quite readily when commercial interests are involved or some coordinated group of malicious actors. My mind jumps to small business owners being 'brigaded' on Yelp and state funded troll farms.

One final piece that I found particularly disturbing.

"Media that's targeted at you but that doesn't include you may not be worth sitting still for."

It's hard to argue that finding a niche for oneself is bad but I don't think that there are many intelligent people left that would argue media bubbles are a force for good. That's not to say the author would disagree but this is not an endorsement it seems to border on sympathetic.

I don't learn and grow from media that targets me. If anything it's antagonistic to that. Media that targets me makes me feel comfortable. It promotes narrative formation over reality testing.

Media not targeted for me, or that doesn't include me on the other hand, requires analysis. It requires comparison and contrast to my ideals and beliefs. It requires assessing why that media _doesn't_ target me and understanding who it's intended audience is and why _they_ consume it.

I need a backup system in which files are never deleted, even if they are deleted locally. These files should also be easy and efficient to search for; you shouldn't have to go through all previous snapshots, trying to guess which snapshot a file might be in.

Anecdotal:
Had covid twice. No heart complaints.

Had two vaccine shots. Both times, 10 days after the shot, my heart hurt like hell. Really painful and scary experience. It lasted a couple days and back to normal.
That’s just the natural way of capitalism if you allow companies to get bigger and bigger. They can buy up any upcoming competition for good money so most startups are being built to be bought and not as standalone businesses. You see that and also in medical devices where I work. Seems most industries will evolve into a state where you have 2-4 competitors that suppress all competition by building up regulatory hurdles and by their ability to buy small companies.

I would be in favor of massively progressive taxation of large companies. I just don’t see the value of them beyond a certain size but I see a lot of danger accumulating so much power in their hands.

Snowflake conceding they have a 700% markup between Standard and Premium editons which has zero impact on query performance is ... well, it's something. I'd start squeezing my sales engineers about that, definitely not sustainable...

Also proof that lakehouse and spot compute price performance economics are here to stay, that's good for customers.

Otherwise, as a vendor blog post with nothing but self-reported performance, this is worthless.

Disclaimer: I work at Databricks but I admire Snowflake's product for what it is - iron sharpens iron.

One of the deleted comments was calling HN a breeding ground for conspiracies for sharing an CNBC article? Another was spewing a complaint about having to wear masks.

It isn’t censorship or suppression to delete comments that insult a community and provide nothing constructive to a conversation.

I also don’t care to define what “constructive” is in this context.The HN Mods can handle that.
It's difficult to judge the tradeoff between Covid and myocarditis. I got my Moderna booster shot about 2 weeks ago, and I felt palpitations next day. Was that myocarditis. Maybe. I guess I'll never know. Did it bother me? Very little. I'm quite happy that my immunity to Covid went up. I'll personally trade a few palpitations for good Covid immunity.

But that's just a case of 1. How severe is the myocarditis other people experience? According to a study I just googled [1], out of 2 million people, only 32 were hospitalized with myocarditis or pericarditis, with median hospitalization time of 1 to 2 days, no ICU, and no deaths. Doesn't sound so bad to me.

That particular quote seems to be comparing infected to non-infected, not infected to vaccinated.
Funny, that's what they said before WW1.
*Businesses are always paying the actual market rate for the work within the context of their sovereign operating model.

There, I fixed it for you. In a purely globally democratized and free market, wages would be perfectly aligned to market rates, but this isn't reality. In other words, your labor supply is artificially fixed to birth rates in that sovereignty.

The overall point is anyway moot because you could also make an argument that says "because we're not having enough babies and therefore labor is relatively short from previous decades, wages are artificially high...maybe we should create policies to increase birth rates?".

Point is - trying to correlate wages and immigration dynamics is a fool's errand. IMHO, immigration policies need to be considered from an overall market perspective and not an individual wage one. i.e. does immigration provide a net benefit to the economy and that sovereign society? Given how much illegal immigration is used in our food system in the US to keep consumer prices low, I think Americans equivocally believe some level of immigration is necessary to generate wealth for the middle class.
Leibniz invented the modern world as a side project. Computer science, relativity, nuclear physics can all be traced to him.
There are a bunch of options to borg check depending on what you want. A full check with --verify-data is indeed rather slow, because it checks everything (essentially equivalent to seeing if all archives can be extracted plus a bunch of extra checks). If you only want to detect e.g. bit-rot, --repository-only will be sufficient in most cases and will be I/O limited.
In the name of national security, I would hope so. Why wouldn't it? US Companies don't mean much if there's no US behind it.

The issue is there is no overt war to drive the nationalism support necessary to push people into freely transferring knowledge. It seems to magically appear, when there's a feeling of imminent danger but ppl question it in times of peace.

It's not a matter of opinion. Crypto provides incredibly little value to the average person vs. its energy usage. It takes an entire tank of gasoline to make a single Bitcoin transaction, don't insult me by telling me it's a matter of opinion that that's a waste.

And Proof of Waste is about more than it's impact on the environment through it's egregious energy use. Even in places that use clean energy, Bitcoin mining is putting a strain on the grid. (I suspect mining had something to do with Texas' grid problems last winter.) Even if you're harnessing off grid energy, you're a leech sucking value out of the economy by being a major contributor to the chip/GPU shortage.

And for what? All to contribute to a system that has greater wealth inequality than the existing financial system. Brilliant stuff.
Yes, I thought that was clear. That is what I was trying to find.
I was thinking about it. I considered "smart" and "thoughtful". But I was afraid that this is too subjective.
They do use energy, but it's very small compared to other economic activity.

For example, suppose Bitcoin consumed as much energy as a few households. Would that be acceptable?

Alternatives aren't quite that efficient, but my point is that the relative energy consumption matters a lot.
Another Anecdotal: Had COVID once. Heart pain went back to normal after a week of testing negative. No side effects from both vaccine shots. I’m a young male too so I’m in the risk group for these side effects.

Sucks folks are experiencing them though. Definitely a scary time.
I suggest you give it try, it's quite remarkable (disclaimer : I'm a pernosco customer) . You need to adjust your mindset to the way it works (I haven't seen any similar tool elsewhere, so to me it looks very different from a traditional forward debugger), but it's well worth spending a little bit of time with it.

In particular, because it shows the whole 'dataflow history' (how a specific value flows through your program), it makes learning an unknown codebase (or a codebase you think you know for that matter...) much easier. Other features such as 'show me all calls to function f along with their parameters' help provide similar insights.

I don't like debuggers, and used to delay as much as possible reaching for gdb and its cousins, but with pernosco, it's pretty much the opposite : I know that I will find my (potentially nasty) bug within a few minutes, by focusing on the 'big picture' provided by pernosco instead of wasting time working around the limitations of a regular debugger.
You can't do that using anything here?
