Couldn't agree more. And not just on the Web, it is abstraction on top of abstraction in everything, from Tech to everything in general.
I think it's saying there's a relatively constant nonzero floor, and that your behavior really make it peak, but can't actually lower the floor.
why strange?

Children are allowed to have very different ideas than their parents, one doesn't have to criticize what has been done and is irreversible, to think and act differently.
Don't forget that IL is not executed, but is just an intermediate representation, and optimizations are done by the CLR; e.g. Mono does the following optimizations (according to e.g. https://man.archlinux.org/man/mono.1.en), regardless which compiler generated the IL:

branch Branch optimizations
cfold Constant folding
cmov Conditional moves [arch-dependency]
deadce Dead code elimination
consprop Constant propagation
copyprop Copy propagation
fcmov Fast x86 FP compares [arch-dependency]
float32 Perform 32-bit float arithmetic using 32-bit operations
gshared Enable generic code sharing.
inline Inline method calls
intrins Intrinsic method implementations
linears Linear scan global reg allocation
leaf Leaf procedures optimizations
loop Loop related optimizations
peephole Peephole postpass
precomp Precompile all methods before executing Main
sched Instruction scheduling
shared Emit per-domain code
sse2 SSE2 instructions on x86 [arch-dependency]
tailc Tail recursion and tail calls
Very nice, but you can’t buy ddr5 right now so … enjoy that fancy processor?

Edit: Holy cow, you can use ddr4!
The strong anti-natalism doesn't surprise me. There's a lot of millennials and younger on HN. I wonder how much of that is just a cover for their pessimism about being as economically successful as their parents? There are structural disadvantages facing the youth today and not having children is a way of avoiding a rigged game. There's also the guilt about raising children at a lower socioeconomic status than they had. Just a thought...
That is incorrect because it fails to take into account that the elderly are much more likely to be vaccinated, and also much more likely to die from COVID.
What's the slimy practice? Amazon refunded orders that they weren't able to deliver. OP is upset because there's a display bug involving the cancellation reason.
It seems like nonsense someone made up.

People committing catalytic converter theft want to be in and out fast and quiet. They want to hit X vehicles a night. Including multiple in the same street. They often run across vehicles that aren't theft compatible (e.g. parked on a hill, already missing cat/not installed, etc), if they took the time to commit loud and pointless damage that is time they're not using stealing more catalytic converters elsewhere (and increase the chance of being spotted).

Likely someone just had criminal damage committed against them and because they had a cat-shield device installed arbitrarily decided A+B=C.

Here are security camera videos showing how quick and almost professional cat theft is:

Sure, if you define "intelligence" as "solving problems in a variety of environments to accomplish your own goals and self-replicate", then no, modern AI is not intelligent. You have just redefined intelligence so that only living beings can be intelligent.

What about religious discrimination, since converting to a new religion is possible?

> To get my college degree (a bachelor’s _in mathematics, with specialization in statistics_) I had to take three courses that were approved for diversity credit. This was a general education requirement for all bachelor’s degrees.

and the details that follow.

The relevance to our "intellectual curiosity" umbrella is that some of us expect that scholarization is in general "still" (for those who received it in times and places in which this worked) built around the construction of the individual as a cultivated critical analyst. We may have received suggestion that some prominent territories have switched to something that some explicitly call "indoctrination". This post seems to witness moves in that direction.

The writer of the article states that courses were inserted that encourage «knee-jerk reactions», responses "before frontal lobe mediation", instead of an intellectual approach.

The fundamental question is posed about how educational institutions can be using methods which do not seem to use the pattern of critical thinking for intellectual development and education.

Surely experience brings somewhere, but to that witness it is as if the pars construens, after information and some emotional reactions - the intellectual frameworks - are completely undeveloped.
The healthcare system manages this inconsequentially because relative to refusing a vaccine, the increased likelihood of this happening with obesity is marginal.

Prior to the pandemic (and also today during the pandemic), there wasn't a concern about people dying from treatable medical conditions because healthcare capacity was taken up by those suffering from obesity.
Too true, app store search is nothing but ads and spam.

I can't fault you at all for not being able to find something reputable.

Another instance of walled gardens failing to provide what people actually want, as opposed to what companies think we want.
The tactic of socially shaming people hasn't flipped into being counterproductive. Making it socially unacceptable for the unvaccinated to do things like have popular media careers, maintain work, and similar things puts selection pressure on them in addition to what they're receiving for not taking the shot, even if it doesn't end up with them vaccinated. It will end up with others vaccinated.
Yes, it is annoying that this option turns itself on and I don't have it at hand. It requires me to click on a currently playing title which brings next tracks list that has additional shuffle and repeat icons.

Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders?
I am building a web SAAS and being a developer, I want to mostly focus on development and skip the marketing, pr and other related stuff, hence I am looking for tools to automate/delegate as much as possible. I like building products after all.

There are so many great tools and strategies, but almost all of them require you to have a person or even a team to support it - for example all social media automation tools require you to prepare a lot of content to be effective. I can't do that.

Do you know any great tools that are more or less 0 maintenance, relatively short setup and deliver value?

It doesn't have to necessary be marketing tool, but it's what made me curious. If you know of development, accounting or whatever other tool please shoot!
This is a new one for me! I do it all the time as a courtesy - now I would have to think twice, thanks to you! lol
It’s very easy to find where to get a Covid test. First result on google will tell you exactly where to go. Almost every drug store also offers them.
Have you tried dealing with Uber or AirBnB support recently? It's beyond bad, you basically have to use these services, amazon, airbnb, uber etc at your own risk. 70% of what I buy on amazon either isn't as advertised or breaks after an hour, 70% of my uber drivers don't know the city, 70% of my airbnb experiences in the last 5 years have been awful and support has been there in no instances.

I can't believe I'm saying this but... google of all people, have better support than most tech companies these days.
And that's the point, they are testing a missile against targets at much higher orbits. 14A042 is pretty enormous for a mobile missile.

They are aiming to take out US missile target discrimination system, the weakest link in the new US missile defence system.

Without target discrimination, the missile defence will be completely exhausted by decoys.

We're being attacked by organized criminals, sponsored by hostile nation-states, not your imaginary teenagers.

The point is that we should defend our companies and economies by responding vigorously against the criminals and their national sponsors with law enforcement and aggressive offensive cyber capabilities. They need a smack in the mouth every time they touch any of our citizens or the companies for which they work.

These are costly direct attacks on our national security, economic prosperity, and infrastructure that are followed up with classic Russian-style propaganda, intended to minimize and redirect blame to the victims. That propaganda is then propagated by trolls and useful idiots.

And, here you are with your victim-blaming and minimizing strawman claims about teenagers and boogeymen.
I suppose most users here didn't actually bother to read your screed, because it really doesn't seem to describe any real issues.

What's supposed to be the problem here? Amazon just cancelled some orders that they couldn't deliver, you got a refund.

Calling this "fraudulent"? That just makes you sound like a crazy person.
The economic term for this is Coasean bargaining. The Coase theorem is that this can in principle be solved privately; in practice, transaction costs and imperfect information usually make government involvement necessary.
Made me remember the International I hate Frames Club:

Hitting the deer is just the beginning.

We were driving on a semi-wilderness highway when a medium-sized deer staggered up from a deep drainage ditch on the same side of the road, about 50 yards ahead. Managed to slow from 65-70 to 50 mph before hitting the animal, which slid along the highway and into the deep ditch on the other side.

The slowdown helped limit the van's damage to $10,000, but it was undriveable. Even if we somehow removed the hood (bent in two over the unbroken windshield), all the fluid had ran out of the crushed radiator and into the semi-wilderness ditch.

Luckily it was a hot July afternoon, and a truck going the opposite way came along in 15 minutes. The driver put the deer out of its misery. Had it been in the winter, after sundown, it might have taken hours just to be found.

Happened in the 1990s (no mobiles), so we waited for a vehicle heading toward the nearest little town to find a tow -truck. With the van towed to that town (no repair shop), it was another hour before relatives arrived from the bigger town (that tow-truck had a repair shop).

The insurance company paid for the repair, then dropped the policy. I never drove that route after noon again.
By "app" I meant to suggest on mobile. My understanding is that Spotify no longer allows 3rd party apps on mobile. Is that not correct?

(And to be clear, I'm looking to pay for an existing app, not write my own.)
Children do not understand concept of false beliefs until age 6 or 7
Amazon support is great. With Uber drivers you get what you pay for, all Uber Lux drivers I've interacted with have been at the level you'd expect from a professional chauffeur company (which they usually work for).
Isn't this author interpreting "dopamine fast" too literally? Obviously you can't bring your dopamine levels to zero. But that's not what people are attempting to do. They're avoiding easy dopamine hits. We probably need some studies to know if avoiding them for a period of time has actual benefits, but it doesn't make sense to completely dismiss the idea.
Why are they not?
You can abstract basically anything to state space search + optimization. It’s essentially too wide a classification to be that useful.
I doubt my local police would've been eager to take on Amazon. I think I've had enough after more than a year of misery exchanging close to a 1,000 emails and 2 appeals with Amazon, writing my congressmen and senator (stock reply lauding their achievements with the CARES act), and reporting to FTC (no reply). At some point you have to move on and continue living your life.

Yeah, it is dynamic. But the author also mentioned putting spacer gifs in semantically appropriate containers, so I think it may have been a joke?

> 1. Only something like 6% of the US is urban. The majority is pasture and forests, which arguably is almost entirely natural. The second largest use is crop land.

You have got to be joking, right? Just open Google Maps, switch to satellite mode, turn off labels and look at the US midwest, particularly Illinois. Any zoom level. Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, pretty much everywhere. It's a patchwork of farms. Basically all flat parts of the US look like this, except for extremely arid areas.
This is not a paper, it's a letter to the journal. Space is very limited. The salient point is that governments are using shame and stigmatization to try and encourage vaccination, when in reality the unvaccinated are apparently only putting themselves at risk. The vaccines appear to help patients cope with and ward off the serious effects of Covid-19, but not significantly prevent infection or transmission (although a caveat is that this may go against the RCT data reported by Pharma to validate the vaccines -- but I haven't seen it myself). Stigmatizing the unvaccinated and even denying them medical care in some cases does nothing to help save lives, which should be the goal. Governments should be spending more efforts on proving that the vaccines are safe and well tested and developing treatments rather than bashing people who may become victims.
> is there a better service with a similarly broad catalog?

No, but try https://bandcamp.com.
I don't see how that's related - the tax coffers of NYC (which is not the same as e.g. federal budget) are currently not being used to help rebuild the flooded houses in smaller cities; and it would not make sense for NYC to start using the NYC's infrastructure money for fixing problems of other municipalities.
You can get Z690 DDR4 boards. That's what I had to resort to so we could test our software on the i5-12600k. Getting a CPU cooler with an LGA 1700 compatible bracket was actually the hardest part.
You’re literally ignoring half of what I said.

Digital art couldn’t be “shipped” to anyone. Having a gallery means you have to be featured in one in the first place - ie gatekeepers. Not permissionless.

You have to be not working in the arts to think like this. NFTs were a revolution for digital artists.
People buy at a price point. Adding those panels adds cost. You’d have to give something up to get those panels.

Luxury cars have had these panels for a long time because they’re built to a higher price point.
I pay for a Spectrum subscription, and their app for watching TV is pretty good, except that it is severely crippled channel-wise when you're not on your home network. In that case a home VPN server is your friend, but the average person is not going to know how to do that.
Stigma is absolutely good at changing behaviors. I listed an obvious one here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29297156

You can absolutely cure stupidity with shame. The renaissance of science and industry during the period from 1914-1980 can largely be attributed to the wars producing propaganda painting being unintelligent undesirable.

Regrettably though not unfortunately, people have by and large stopped dying from stupidity. We have made the world very safe and it is much harder to get yourself killed because of stupidity. There are a handful of ways to nowadays, but they're mostly over the course of such a long period of time that there's no selection pressure from them. The recent pandemic has been a help, but it's unlikely to kill as much as seriously maim younger people who refuse to vaccinate themselves, so it's mostly people dying due to the stupidity of others.
Not originally, but yeah eventually that was a common feature.
> but back in the 50's

there were many more poor, having lots of kids.

OP didn't say that only rich people can afford to have kids, but that only rich and very poor people can.

Now that people are not as poor as in prior centuries, they can afford to not have kids to survive when they get older.
I've read 'Personality Types' (the book where Jung define introversion and extraversion) many times by now. It is hard to understand at first, by now I am amazed about how his concepts are interpreted differently than what he intended. Introversion is a kind of filtering mechanism where your self concept (ego) overweight the importance of internal stimulis over external one (and vice versa for an extrovert).

If a subject feels 'obligated' to respond to an external stimulus (such as a party) and to expend energy in that direction, that is extraversion. If you need to learn how to monitor internal stimulus such as fatigue levels or who makes you feel good, that sound like an extravert learning how to do introversion in order to manage himself. This process of learning how to get out of your usual favored way is part of what Jung called 'individuation', psychological development which starts in adulthood.

When trying to understand the intro-extra spectrum, its not the behavior that matters the most, it is the cognition of the subject. Why did you stay alone last friday night? Is it because you had a hard week and you are tired (internal stimulus)? Do you avoid parties because you do not care that much about the feeling of the music (internal stimulus), and would rather to clearly hear others people stories and opinions (external stimulus)? How does the subject narrates his story?
In my mind, the key differentiator there is whether ending a life is the goal of the choice or an unintended consequence of it.
I never said what "my machines" do. Don't assume everyone has the same lax safety necessities as you have.
I started my true web development arc in 1999 and used most of these techniques. There was a netizen of the time called “Dr Ozone” who was doing mind bending stuff on his site at the time. It’s still around at https://ozones.com/ it’s where I learned what JavaScript could do. The number of hacks used to deal with the DOM models until jquery was epic.
Pretty sure when you sell on Amazon you commit to binding arbitration. Like amazons not gonna stack that deck.

Flagging for clickbait title.
In the USA, something like 85% of people older than 65 are "fully vaccinated", and a almost all of the rest have had one dose.

These still make up a substantial proportion of hospitalizations, because Covid is 2–3 orders of magnitude more likely to lead to serious symptoms for this age category, so that vaccinated elderly people have comparable risk to unvaccinated people 30–40 years younger.
Any ethical behavior can be arbitrarily labeled "virtue signalling" by those who don't like it.

For example:

- not having kids in a world facing climate collapse

- reducing one's energy usage or pollution

- donating money to some charity

It's a label that can be applied to any behavior.
I was reading the other day about how wolves can help reduce Lyme's carrying tick populations as well, which could be considered another positive economic impact. They of course keep deer in check, but they also keep coyotes in check while not preying on the smaller animals that eat ticks and mice like coyotes do.
I was so happy to no longer need frames. Modern CSS with grid and flex have made <frame> feel like a horrible nightmare that I just can't quite shake. One that makes you turn on the lights in every room.
Here is a proposal: divide ICU beds in hospitals proportionally between vaxed and unvaxed population. If all unvaxed beds are taken you don't get one.

As all libertarians know there can't be freedom of choices without responsibility or responsibility without freedom.
I really have no idea where .net came from, the latest on that site is 19.04 and I would stay away. lubuntu.me is the real address.
And I like the idea of having a lower chance of dying in a road accident.
Or isn't that the idea of what we are discussing here, putting actual numbers to (ir)rational fears?
Hasty Hooks – create quick'n'dirty API's in Miro
Just attended Junction 2021 (a Finnish hackathon), and this was my submission. It's a proof-of-concept for a Miro app which allows you to create simple API's directly in Miro.

A quick solution to a quick problem. For instance, when you need to fetch something on a website that you don't nessecarily want to have in your frontend code. Or a webhook for Stripe to add stuff to invoices.

Source code is here
https://github.com/FrankSandqvist/junction-hasty-hooks

It's got very obvious issues (it was made in under 36 hours) in terms of sandboxing and robustness, but I think it may have potential. I'd love to get some feedback on it or if someone wants to collaborate!
Personally, I say they are related. For some years I thought I had social anxiety, meaning irrational feelings of anxiety triggered by social situations.

In retrospect, I think of myself as a gregarious introvert. I love people but they wear me the fuck out. For many years I just pushed past those feelings, specifically not listening to my body as the author recommends in step 4. So I was in effect gradually training my nervous system that "social situation = pain". An important function of animal nervous systems is learned aversion to painful situations. So my feelings of anxiety about social situations were not irrational, but correct and proportionate.

Once I started taking my own health and feelings seriously, what I saw as social anxiety gradually dissipated.

For those interested in the mechanisms here, I highly recommend "The Body Keeps the Score". It finally gave me an intellectual framework for a lot of my experiences around this.
YouTube Music? I made a switch to them after finding that their recommendation engine worked better compared to Spotify...plus i get YouTube ads free as a side effect. Your mileage might vary on the recommendations engine though...
I don’t think we should hold people to “the logical conclusion” of all of their beliefs. We are not robots. We are capable of believing something without willing to go to the ends of the earth to be consistent with that belief.

For example, I believe it’s good to go to protests for causes I care about. However, I don’t go to even a fraction of the protests near me. Does this mean I don’t actually believe protests are a good thing?
Looked on Amazon - even Walmart has them. It's a little pricy but I think it's worth it. I bring keys with me everywhere.
