> Being tough and self reliant is great. Those qualities are not abrogated in the slightest by being able to talk with others about your internal experience. You can help yourself by doing so and also help those around you in the process.

My experience is that, yes, toughness is abrogated by "talking with others about your internal experience". Internal experience is subjective. No one but artists can really share it and when we try, we mostly just whine.

> The goal is not to be immune to stress and trauma. That’s not really a thing. The goal is to be able to deal effectively with adversity and overcome it. Part of being able to do that is acknowledging that you’re not a robot and employing appropriate strategies. Discussing these things with people that share common ground with you is an effective release mechanism. Releasing pressure during downtime enables mental toughness and self reliance in critical moments.

No one is immune to anything. Being tough is a huge advantage and the way you make people tough is by being hard on them. "Being hard on" is not abuse. There's room for compassion and love. But, today, as far as my experience goes, we're too far on the coddling side of things.
It's clearly not a golden spiral though, is it?

It looks more like 2 half circles of different sizes glued together. Maybe the ratio of the 2 circles is the golden ratio?
Hi, I'm the author of Go Note Go. Thanks for posting to HN!

I've been using the system quite a bit these last two months since I started building it, and still getting lots of value from it. The whole thing is open source and for the hacker-type there are enough instructions to build your own: https://github.com/dbieber/GoNoteGo, so hopefully someone here can get some value out of it as well :)

I'll probably post this again as a Show HN a bit later once I reach a good point for sharing (although tbh I think it's pretty good for sharing as is).

Happy to take questions; I'll try to monitor the discussion for a bit. Looking forward to seeing what ideas folks have here!
Largest forum of white males pontificate about the fringe members of society. I'm gonna sit this one out.
It looked good initially and I actually used it for a while, but it's scammy AF now with data siphoning, forced usage, weird integrations with lenders, etc.

I'd much rather trust Firefox.

It's interesting the first release on that page is from 2016 and then the build .zip was 69MB, the last release from yesterday weighs 100MB compared to the official chromium which is 179MB that is alot of google and alot of non-google added in 5 years!
I take your point - I had read into that quote the implication that there are other cases where something resembling carrying had been seen, but even just adding the properly-aligned digits modulo 10 would be impressive. I would, however, like to see more evidence that this seems to be happening more often than by chance, and is unlikely to be explicable in terms of the specific numbers in question appearing in close proximity in the training data, before I am willing to say that it is the most likely explanation.

Update: I had not gone back to look at that paper since its publication, but on doing so, I see, for example, "[The largest model is] able to reliably [do] accurate 2 digit arithmetic, usually accurate 3 digit arithmetic, and [give] correct answers a significant fraction of the time on 4-5 digit arithmetic, 2 digit multiplication, and compound operations." Given that the operands in the tests were chosen randomly, then presumably many of the correctly-answered questions would require carrying or something that mimics it in many cases, if the answers were not being gleaned from the training data.
I think you're misreading the comment. The comment is simply about a lack of quality in the text, not necessarily about money and profits. I think we all understand that quality doesn't necessarily translate to money and vice versa.
Again, this isn't specific to marketing or any one individual. For whatever reason, I hear it most when I listen to women.

Well why choose? Just use neither.
If you work in a large company, for security reasons you may already be required to use in-house mirrors of libraries or container images.

There are commercial products for doing this, e.g. https://jfrog.com/artifactory/

All the command line package management tools then need to be configured to point at the custom in-house package mirror, rather than connecting to the default public package server over the internet.
We actually do run those emulators (or at least virtualization) when developing across platforms.

With root, Android could even make a decent host platform for doing development, but that doesn't obviate the need for emulators and virtualization systems.
I don't understand the argument that Tether crashing will take bitcoin with it.

If Tether starts to collapse, then the holders of the $73 billion tether are going to be desperate to dump it for something else. They may try to dump it for real dollars, but they may also dump it for bitcoin and other "real" cryptocurrencies.

Tether collapsing might even cause a massive bitcoin price pump.
I believe in most (if not all) architectures that have it, a test instruction is the same as comparing to zero; so testing zero sets the zero flag :)
> and the extremely egregious anti right-to-repair lobbying they're doing.

They're rolling out a self-repair program soon, though this is certainly due to pressure from shareholders and the like.

The other points are completely valid but their sins pale in comparison to Google and Microsoft's.
So it's not quite black and white - if you're playing something simple and rote, speaking is easy. But if you're playing something complicated - hard. If you're improvising, speaking is impossible.

If you look at the planet on google earth, you can see a lot of human structure. Mines, fields, tree farms, deforestation, waste-water runoff - these things are often vast. I don't know if giant engineering projects really move the needle that much; we're already engaged in a giant engineering project, it's just a completely blind one with no actual goal.
I'd assume Rosetta works for newly marked executable pages by not actually flagging them as executable. When control flow attempts to transfer there, a page fault will occur since the page is not actually executable, this is the interrupt that allows Rosetta to step in, see what code was about to be executed, and write out a new ARM equivalent of the code to other memory, and redirect execution to the new equivalent ARM code, before resuming.

This basic sort of support is needed for any application that targeting x86 that uses any form of dynamic code generation, which is probably a whole lot more than most people think (even some forms of dynamic linking utilize small amounts of generated code, due to being more efficient than calling a method though a pointer to a pointer to the method).
You can say this about anything that uses lots of electricity. Sure, removing it solves the immediate 'problem' but its also not any more practical than having everyone walk everywhere solves the immediate carbon impact of driving. The solution is to invest in more solar, nuclear, and energy storage solutions. Our Earth is already plenty rich in resources to scale up power requirements, and our sun provides near unlimited energy. The energy problem isn't unique to Bitcoin. Using a lot of resources is also the main benefit to the security behind proof-of-work because it makes building a duplicate ledger immensely impractical. The security of the chain actually increases the longer blocks are joined after an input which is pretty cool.
Men certainly aren't valued for being masculine, but what are they valued for, beyond what they can provide to other people? Nothing. Feminism took away the roles but didn't replace it with anything useful for men and valuable to others.

I just got a new Vizio, I only connected it long enough for it download the latest firmware, and then neutered it by removing the Ethernet cable.

You can bypass the acceptance of the privacy policy entirely and it just disables all the smart features (can't use any of the apps or cast to it with Airplay or Google Cast), but will still download firmware updates and install them.

From the network capture I did on it, if you don't accept the policies it only reaches out to the update servers for the firmware, and that's it. Nothing else.
you can also install reaper and this plug-in and get something highly winampish with its own special authenticity:

That is one piece of research that does dispute the claim among many that confirm it.

About that particular piece of research, the wiki article states (I don't know where to confirm it) "However, in the analysis the datasets from universities were discarded as they were considered possibly biased and insufficient. Instead only data from schools was used for the analysis."

This unfortunately is quite a political topic and, as such, research here can be politically motivated (for and against) so it is tough to break through the noise.
Ken Kocienda writes about the origin of Safari in Creative Selection [0].

It started as a Konqueror fork mostly because Jobs wanted a browser on OS X and Ken was initially tasked with it (back then the mac had IE for mac). One person writing a browser from scratch even back then seemed an impossible challenge so he took a look to see if he could use most of Konqueror as an initial starting base.

[0]: The book has some interesting stories, but I find it hard to recommend because it's weirdly written for an extremely non-technical audience (using grandma like analogies to explain basic concepts, the analogies are so basic they do more to obscure than explain - e.g. the filesystem is like a 'cabinet for files'). It doesn't often get into the weeds of the interesting technical details - which is disappointing since 90% of readers are probably technical. The stories in it are still good though and Ken has a lot of insight into the iPhone development story since he was there.
Self-publishing doesn't have to imply self-editing. It just implies that a professional editor's services should be paid for out of the author's pocket, rather than by some third-party publisher on the author's behalf.

Of course, in practice, this doesn't seem to happen very often. I'm not sure why. It's not like your average self-published author is poor (they're generally the type of people who are well-off enough to dedicate a good fraction of their time to writing!)

I assume many people just don't realize that "hiring an editor to help you fix up your own book" is something you can do. Or maybe they've never cultivated a "spend money to make money" mindset.
Thanks for contributing to the discussion!

Yeah from people that work there: it's hard to keep ad companies happy. Ad services want more personal info, tracking systems, they want geo, they want the user signed in, etc. Ad companies can get ALL that on facebook. This is completely against what twitter users (the vocal ones anyway) want.
> I don't know of any man in my family, friend, coworker, or acquaintance circles who would be interested either.

That's because they don't talk about it with you, because you're not interested. It's kind of like if you know any black or gay people or women, they've probably never told you of prejudice they've experienced. It's not an easy subject to broach. But, 100% chance, they have experienced it.

It's a bad habit to split the world into US/overseas. Canada and Western Europe are clearly much closer to the US than Indonesia and Pakistan, and Eastern Europe / CIS states have a history of ex-military/experienced pilots too.
He can do what I do with my own personal projects: if you install something I wrote, you get the source code whether you want it or not. Setup.exe basically dumps a copy of my development directory into the specified installation folder.

The idea that "open source" is necessarily a full-time maintenance job with formal processes and expectations is something somebody made up.

This is a mix of climate denialism and Bitcoin religion.

1) A system that turns energy usage into $ will always gravitate towards the cheapest energy source (fossil fuels). Maybe we'll eventually figure out cold fusion, but for the next few decades it's pretty important to promote carbon neutral energy production even if it's more expensive while simultaneously cutting out gratuitous industrial scale waste like PoW mining.

2) "makes the protocol incorruptible and eternally open and permissionless for anyone to join as first class citizens, even late adopters". Ah yes, let me just fire up my warehouse full of ASICs connected to a dedicated power plant. Any old Joe could do it.

Ebikes are without doubt both more efficient and superior transportation methods.

They have less space requirements, both in private and public investment, and require less energy to move.

They fit modern requirements for really expensive real estate and rental costs really well.

Overall, I'd expect the efficiencies of the technology to approach similar numbers to what they're replacing, but the businesses profiting off the technology's use will change. Maybe for the better for end customers, and maybe not, but there's disruption opportunities galore

>A drug is any chemical substance that causes a change in an organism's physiology or psychology when consumed.

So yes, both nutmeg and pot are plants and drugs when consumed with the right dosage. Nobody considers nutmeg a drug as it's rarely used as one in their presence.

And it was probably discovered when nutmeg was used for food preservation.

I don't see the contradiction, no. Petrified isn't belittling it is quite a suitable word for people who are so scared of this that they demand everyone else in the country should shut themselves in, wear masks, stay indoors, etc. How is that belittling?

We hear this same story every single time the topic comes up. It's not the most convincing argument. First, the real world experience is that bitcoin miners don't care about whether they are using renewable energy. Furthermore, we should not ignore the substantial carbon emissions from building the mining infrastructure (the mining hardware, plus also the power generation). A protocol that promotes a colossal amount of e-waste is swimming in the wrong direction when it comes to fighting climate change.

According to that post, "You don't have nights OnCall" applies only to SREs covering the systems of the highest profile.

Which is not even all SREs

Anyways SREs are software developers as well.

The distinction SWE/SRE came up to be in times of SOX compliance; nowadays there are also some oncall-related distinctions (that SREs are more likely to be in such multiple-timezone-office teams, for instance, could be true).
Sure. There's also the converse situation where people who speak in tonal languages might not develop associations with melodic patterns in speech and any strong meta-meaning, since in those languages, pitch is actually carrying top-level meaning.

People who have congenital amusia, iirc, also tend to struggle with understanding tone languages. It seems true that if you aren't able to distinguish pitch well, you aren't good at encoding/decoding messages that are present through the medium of pitch differences.

I didn't mean to suggest above that this is a general thing for all humans. Like every other recreational stimulate-the-senses activity, some people don't actually care for it/aren't affected by it anyway.

> So how do we decide when the automated car is 'good enough'?

This is actually a really interesting point. I don't think people appreciate how far accident rates have actually dropped for modern cars without self driving. Even at million-cars-per-year sales rate you will need years of data to prove that a single self-driving software+hardware combo is better than humans with high statistical confidence. Your development cycles would be decades-long, like in aviation, if you want to be sure you're actually improving.

I don't know what to say to this, other than reconsider what other options there are that may allow for further opportunities to feel privileged to be alive; big things, small things, simple things, complex things.

> It may also mean that "we" failed to give these "kids" proper upbringing. I, certainly, did fail

Sounds like you're being too hard on yourself. There are uncountable facets to upbringing, and "proper" is indefinable. I'm happy with how my kids are turning out, but I'm yet to see what the 'jungle of the real world' will bring out of them once they've launched into it on their own.

> That is one piece of research that does dispute the claim among many that confirm it.

That is precisely what a meta-analysis does: it takes all of the individual datapoints, and attempts to find a consistent causative relationship. The absence of one is a strong indicator that the individual pieces of research are varyingly flawed.

Science, in its majesty, is never fully settled. But meta-analysis consistently show that each of the individual variability hypothesis are bunk.
>You can say this about anything that uses lots of electricity.

Yes. You can.

Let's actually generalize it to anything with an outsized carbon footprint (e.g. commuter flights, car dependent housing development, &c).

We will almost certainly continue doing that stuff but it's incompatible with any vaguely desirable ecological outcome. PoW crypto is special in that it is both highly optional (it's not essential to the lifestyles of 99.999% of people) and has easy substitutes.
