> This person mentioned Einstein, but Einstein was just the byproduct of a time when people had the balls to publish what could be perceived as extravagant theories.

As an outsider, while I can see many problems in academia today, I'm not sure that an exceptional fear to publish extravagant theories is one of them.

It seems to me that the opposite is true. The replication crisis is a symptom of a general unfriendliness towards uninteresting publications.

Thanks. If you're willing to expand on your thoughts about blockchains not being necessary to any of the things I described, I would like to hear it. I'm honestly looking for any reason to be wrong on this, and I have yet to find that reason.

How else could ConstitutionDAO have raised funds as quickly as they have and in a secure manor without an intermediary company/legal entity holding the pooled funds?
> "People need to be paid to do the work". Clearly, they don't.

im really not sure what you are arguing for here? It seems you just really dont want a person to give someone else money and that have exchange/relationship be tokenized?

because regardless of how you feel about it, clearly lots of other people do want this. many artists and musicians do want this, particularly with royalties on resales.

I make something, I put up a signed version for auction, it gets sold. That person has the version i signed, they like having that, maybe in the future they sell it again and i also get royalties from the future sales. This is a positive improvement for me selling my artwork/music, and i much prefer it to begging on patreon. Even just making/advertising a patreon account is seen negatively from my experience, people would much rather pay me for something than send me $5 a month. I guess the follow up is why crypto not paypal, and beyond the obvious dependancy/fees/region locks, well its just more fun :)

We know that people feel different when they buy things. We know that ownership brings with it a sense of care. We know the exchange of one token for another (be it crypto of pieces of paper or stones) builds relationships, builds community. And a record of those exchanges builds legitimacy. That legitimacy extends to the system, as more people use it the more accepted it becomes.

>that can be changed out at any time by the creator

that would be one quick way to destroy your legitimacy, future sales, and upset your audience, sure. not sure why you'd do that?

Ah, I see. So today we're good with limiting the freedom of the press. I'll check in again tomorrow, when we're back to being outraged about some blogger being criticized for spreading misinformation.

Thanks. My reading comprehension has not powered up yet this morning.
Very interesting read!

I suppose another such solution, for a patient with a given medical condition X, is to have a very large pool of doctors and see if any of them have condition X (with similar age, background, etc).

Then one could compare how treatment varies when doctors treat themselves with the same issue.

"Physician, heal thyself."
I don't think it is true that the best outcome individually is if you're the only one to read the comments. In the wisdom of the crowds formulation the average is closest, but on Hacker News and similar websites there is a popularity contest which biases the responses. The average over a biased sample doesn't have the same mathematical reasoning suggesting it is better than any individuals estimate.

To use a specific example there was once a claim about a board seat for Tesla going to someone that people tend to dislike. The comments were largely in agreement that this would happen and it would happen basically because it was outraging and seemed evil which agreed with the commenters preconceptions. Anyone who posted contrary to this - which I did, quoting a primary source which disagreed with the claim, got downvoted. Ultimately I was right and the board seat didn't go to the 'evil' person.

This isn't intended to be a critique of me getting downvoted. Instead I'm trying to point out that if you read all the comments the consensus in the comments doesn't approximate the correct answer. So what do you have to do? You have to go primary sources in order to be able to get an unbiased estimator. Maybe the comments link to one, which is nice, but notice: you can't rely on the comments alone. Which means it was the people who read the primary sources, not the people who read the comments, which get the best outcome individually.

Unfortunately, the people who are doing this aren't becoming popular for doing this when it helps them. Quite the opposite. When this is effective, it is effective entirely because it is not in line with the popular opinion.

Quirky data entry.

Firefox, iOS iPhone

Halfway of my Hand-entered data entry resulted in text box “reverting” back to empty.

Cut-n-paste resulted in same “back-to-empty” with no positive indication of having successfully entered in a link.

Also, pressing return gave me a new line within the text box which is strange by itself.

Otherwise, I marvel at the most simplistic web design since Google v0.0.4.

There's also thermal (non-ionized) electric propulsion, e.g., arcjet (which heats the propellant with an electric arc) and resistojet (which heats the propellant with a resistance heater).

Both arcjet and resistojet have been used on some satellites.

The nice thing about those is that they don't rely as much on the physical or chemical properties of the propellant. Just about anything that can be vaporized by an arc or heating element will work.

The novel trick here is splitting up huge binary files and treat them as if they were many small files.

Node_modulea is already tons and tons of files, and when they are large, they are usually minified and hard to split on any "natural" boundary (like elf sections/symbols etc)
Exchanges have always been the most common onboarding method, nothing recent or radical there. Of course, you can also always go p2p and buy directly. One way would be to use localmonero and then use bridges through cheap networks while avoiding Ethereum mainnet or use bridges directly if you have crypto already.
Hmmmm, not sure I understand?
No, because it discusses who first suggested the idea. I'd say that's interesting whether the claim is true or false. It's not pointless just because it's not on the topic you thought it was on.

Superb article:
- shows how to debug a kernel oops
- show use of extra tools (bpf, scapy, kasan)
- dives deep into more esoteric bits of networking explaining from basic to how the kernel implementation works
- demonstrates proof of the theory in multiple ways

Yes, it is a big "come work here on interesting stuff with fantastic people" (and show off your own skills and learn something neat) - and it's done without bragging and I'm sure will help others to debug their next OOPS :)

Kudos to Jakub (and presumably reviewers)
Ah, Americans thinking that anything other than a rentier hellscape is literally communism. The early web and a lot of the US hacker culture was "anarcho-libertarian"; ownership matters a lot less when the answer to "who owns the means of production" is "everyone with a computer".
I'm deeply connected to the space. Blockchain folks have made some progress in the area of BFT specifically, but beyond that, no, it's mostly been naïve re-hashes of work already done in the 80s and 90s. This isn't necessarily bad, but it's absolutely not novel.
I don't know, but it seems to be. In general though, if there are easy profits to make it is because someone on the other side is willing to lose "a small amount of money" for a long time knowing that when things change they will make a ton of money fast, on the backs of all the people they lost to.

For starters, if you can make money in automated trading, why would you not make all the possible money yourself instead of telling other people (or writing the software) and splitting the profit? This question is one I ask anytime someone mentions easy trading, and because I've never heard a good answer I stay away.

To do better than average is possible, but it requires a lot of deep study.

Understood.

With that said, to your point about overload, I think it's worth considering the receiver (not only the sender). That is, for example, you want to mitigate my overload. (Thank you! :)) And I want to mitigate the strain on my receiver.

Thanks again.
I just don't see as patent-worthy the concept of sticking a sail on something to allow the wind to push it. Sails have been around for thousands of years.

It's as lame as adding a wheel to something so it will roll instead of slide. Or putting a sign on something with instructions. Or putting an ON button on a device.
Thank you Deagalus, it's really encouraging to hear that other people had been thinking about this as well. I hope this implementation doesn't let you down! Please let me know what you think and how it can be improved.

Definitely lots of concerns about spam. I've actually been soft launching this and have already had spam. And not just spam, but harassment, too. All the stuff that comes with an online community. After network effects, striking a good balance with moderation be a real challenge.
I think hackernews needs a study moderator because yeah, how does some of this stuff get posted and then seriously considers as anything but anecdotal in this situation. When it comes tech and perceived high intelligence, the emperor has no clothes.

I never said that we already are educating our kids as best as we can, so that's a strawman. I actually agree that there's still a lot we don't know about learning. However, I don't believe we we will see a revolution of how we learn, and that revolution will certainly not come from businesses or startups. It requires way too much long term investment with uncertain outcomes.

Back in the day when I was involved with video codec fw, I remember we were having trouble with some codec's (VP8?) deblocking pass, We had to implement that in SW because the particular method that codec used wasn't possible with our HW.

A very legitimate question we asked ourselves was whether we could skip it altogether: the pass did smooth out edges between MacroBlocks, but on our test streams you really had to look closely at still frames to see the difference.

So I can imagine different codecs implementing different parts of standard, as long as you could produce a valid stream/image that was acceptable to the human eye.

(I don't remember what the final decision was for our deblocking. I would guess that certified compliance required it to be implemented)
It's not pointless, it's just on a different topic. It's about who first suggested the idea. It's only "frustrating and pointless" if you thought the article was about the the truth or falsity of the idea, rather than who first suggested it; and the opening makes it pretty clear which of the two it's about.
Years ago, I was given training in an estimating technique called Function Point Analysis (yes, yet another estimating technique).

You broke the task down into (I think) five elementary components: inputs, outputs, processes, inter-process exchanges, something. You rated each component out of 5 for difficulty. Each type of component has a weight, so you can get a sum of the weighted scores of the components, apply some kind of fiddle-function to the sum, and that's your function-point count.

You can then use intrusive management to measure the function-point output of each developer per day, so that after some months, you can make accurate estimates. Because the task estimate is denominated in function-points, not days, you can use the FPs-per-day rates of individuals or teams to estimate the elapsed time for a task.

I tried to use it a few times. What I learned is that it's not possible to make accurate estimates.

Actually, that was one of the observations of the FPA training: that you are supposed to keep on doing it all through a project. Well, you really needed a whole corporation to commit to supporting something like that. I'm not surprised it was no use to me.
I am not sure that has anything to do with the argument. It's still surveillance.
Focus on iteration speed. Ship small changes as fast as possible. There’s no point trying to sit back and have deep strategic thoughts about what needs to be done until you’re so proficient at the basic mechanics of writing and deploying changes that it is instant and effortless. Just pick a clear, important improvement to be made to the system, find the tiniest change that makes progress toward that goal, do it and repeat as fast as possible. This should be your general modus operandi for a long time in your career.

A second point I would make, get yourself in a position (company/team/whatever) where you get exposed to lower abstraction levels. Mid/late game in your career it’s important to have an understanding of operating systems, databases, networking, memory layout, etc. Otherwise you plateau.

I’ve personally never heard the phrase before, so I would question whether it’s so crucial to the conversation that it needs a replacement. It’s not even clear what it means. From context I can gather that it means “do something desperate to try to complete a software development task before a deadline.”
> Any manufacturing moving out of China is a good thing, even if it isn’t to a green country. If Vietnam, Phillipines, et al, then those are countries that can be strong-armed / sweet-talked into getting greener. If the West, well, then it’s even more in our hands.
If we take this far enough, and we will, it also takes power out of China’s hands, meaning we don’t really need them to have the warm and fuzzies when we ask them nicely not to pollute. We tell them to stop polluting or we pull a boycott, divest, and sanctions on them.

Maybe given enough time, but there's no way this is happening fast enough to meet climate targets.

> The insane tradeoffs made was only needed because it was during wartime.

This is cyclical reasoning. "We only needed to resort to warfare because we were in a war". Typically we justify warfare by something like, "if we didn't go to war, many more lives would have been lost". And if you can firebomb and nuke entire cities to save millions, can we not withhold a rebuke on Uyghurs to save hundreds of millions?

> Pressuring China need not lead to WW3 (perish the thought) nor need it involve death on a large scale.

If we can pressure China on Uyghurs without risking climate, then great. I'm not confident considering the tenuous relationship between China and the West.

> What’s needed is an intelligent 5-10 decade economic strategy. We did this to scuttle the USSR and it worked, with minimal total deaths.

We had a functional government and a more politically united population in the second half of the 20th century. Today we have one party that largely thinks climate change is a hoax and the other does little more than lip service.
At the end of the day the real admission rate if you aren't ALDC or a minority is 1%. Probably lower, because many of those will be bribes.

Why no one in the US brings up this to the political agenda?

Some politicians do (especially progressives, like Sanders, the Squad, etc.), but they are in the political minority compared to politicians who are swayed by corporate money. The fact is, your average voter singularly cares more about other things (2A, abortion, taxes) than their own privacy. The average media outlet is also very pro-corporation, which, in turn leads to your average voter being pro-corporation as well.
