Just to add to this:

CO2 is important because it is a proxy for how much air you are rebreathing. This is especially important because of Covid. If you have a few people in a poorly ventilated room co2 will climb. Whereas in a well ventilated room, it might be nearly as good as being outside.

Even for just being at home this is important because if the air is poorly ventilated it will feel "stuffy". It can affect how well you are able to think and work.

Most air quality meter's only measure pollution, and you have to get an expensive one to measure co2 which is why it is frequently omitted despite importance.
Feels a bit too Wild West (and expensive as fuck) for me right now, I'll just use a database and later regular old shares I think haha

Maybe I'll pop back when it's web3.1
>>"The issue is that no one entity should be able to just sit around and dominate the directory of nodes by claiming "I'm a million nodes, wheee!!!", and so that needs to be "expensive". However, for it to be expensive, they also need a way to make money running the nodes. "

I always feel either I'm stupid or I'm missing something when it comes to crypto, Because I understand words and I feel I understand concepts but I don't understand linkages others take for granted, as it pertains to problem at hand of anonymous communication.

If nodes are expensive, doesn't nsa have more money than any given privacy focused individual or organizing?

If they make money how is it expensive in a useful way

I genuinely don't understand how that solution solves a problem, unless they problem is "we need another way to transfer money (ideally to ourselves and early adopters from late adopters)."

Making Something Social Destroys the Truth of It
I’m a long time blockchain skeptic (check my comment history) but I recently came around on the SSO stuff and can vouch for it enough to say the magic words: it is in fact a novel thing that cannot be done without blockchain using pre-existing crypto or auth tech.

The reason is: With private key auth alone, you don’t have identity, just a non-human readable public key, and no universally known exclusive association with a particular username. With OpenID or WebAuthn or any of that, you would still need a company or org to keep a centralized database of everyone’s credentials and user info. With Blockchain you don’t: As long as the Ethereum blockchain keeps going, your info (username: “johndoe.eth” public_key: “420abc” avatar: “some HTTP or IPFS url”) will stay stored. This is the exact precise thing blockchains are unusually good at doing, and given how much people these days are hating on big tech companies managing their identities and harvesting data in the process, “SSO with no company attached” seems like a thing people actually want.

I’m still highly skeptical of art NFTs and crypto as currency and lots of other blockchain stuff, but in this one case they’ve won me over. This seems legit.
Sadly not. I was pretty terrible about version control and saving things from that early in my career. The concept was pretty simple though: division was 1-bit so you could simply do fewer divisions if you had smaller numbers. The first version was something like a BSR -> jump into the divide table. That probably would have been the place to stop, but I was clearly terrible at profiling because I remember adding all sorts of special case logic on top to handle things like powers of two, which likely ended up being slower in practice because cycle times aren't everything.

Recommendation: Nintendo Switch

My last gaming device was a Gameboy Advance, until I bought a Switch.

What convinced me to get it was a discussion in HN about Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I bought the Switch just to play that one game, and it was worth it.

I think for cost versus hours entertained, the Switch and its popular games are worth it. It also takes a lot longer to "run out" versus an 90-120 minute movie, or a book that might take your 4 or 5 hours to read. I probably put in maybe 60 to 80 hours (very rough estimate) into BOTW, and it cost something like $60. $1/hour of entertainment is very good.
> The reality is that, if you want to build a decentralized system, and you want to figure out how to make it hard for bad people to do bad things, you have to raise the cost of doing said bad things; but, to do that will require programmable money... leading you to crypto.

So to create a decentralized system like crypto, you need crypto (as programmable money)?

Also, can you elaborate on locking money in a pile? Do people lock money as the currency? How does it demotivate people (whose money is locked) to do bad things?
This literally is what got me interested in AI over a decade ago.

NFTs don't necessarily represent ownership of the underlying asset.

They're like minting a commemorative coin celebrating the asset, and only minting a single coin. The coin does not represent ownership of the asset. It's just...a coin. A token. Supposedly, the uniqueness gives it value, but if I decide to record a single fart, that fart is unique, but the uniqueness does not inherently create value.

An NFT for the Mona Lisa caries no benefits or rights, other than saying "I own the NFT for the Mona Lisa". It's inherently worthless, with a supposed value being created from absolutely nothing.

Anyone buying NFTs either doesn't know what they're actually paying for, or thinks they're going to be able to find a greater fool who will eventually be willing to pay more.
This might raise different concerns though.

Fair enough. How do you/HN define "ideological battle" so I can have some frame of reference? I'm largely reporting on things I'm either seeing, experiencing, or that friends and family are seeing or experiencing. Often, it is in response to some ridiculous (in my opinion) mass-hysteria from other posters. I feel it's imperative to show experiences other than the 'common' one. I'm also curious why you would be willing to provide ammunition in these so-called "ideological battles" by banning accounts? By all means, this is your house, so your rules...ban if you must.

Service is as good as the money you paid for it. Most people I know are happy to use a free Zoom service.

If that service wasn't as good as they wanted, did they do sufficient 'due diligence' beforehand? Was the service fraudulently held out to be more secure than it was? Was Zoom negligent?

So many questions before a class action is justified.

Again, the point is that the non-mobile URL redirects to the mobile URL. You're not "sharing a mobile page's URL," you're just sharing the URL for the page you're on. You didn't choose to be on a mobile-specific page. And again, your user agent does matter, because that's how you got to the mobile URL in the first place. Returning HTTP redirects is not supposed to mean "here's a new URL that's different from the one you requested, oh any by the way you can't share this new URL." An HTTP redirect is supposed to mean "the resource you requested is now at a new URL."

"Dedicated instance" makes me think it's a cloud-based system. Are you actually getting what you're paying for?
there were the '' languages on the connection machine. in C for example, 'shapes', which were cartesian arrays of values were part of the type system.

communications operations were explicit through the use of indirection on these indices. I doubt its the case on a modern gpu, but aside from the router, performance on the CM was deterministic so you really could understand what you were going to get from the source.

completely agree with you, general parallel programming languages are a thing and really pretty valuable to try to exploit all that machinery. Chapel is the only recent work I'm familiar with.
I think that comes down to mandating winter tires, effective snowplowing and drivers education including driving in slippery conditions, if such conditions are regularly encountered and expected. Important is enforcing it also, let people slide out of control in a controlled fashion so they know to be scared of it.

I literally drove all around town yesterday, a nice cool -5C (23F) with about 30-40 cm of snow which came in the last week, no problem at all. No bent poles anywhere (anecdotally). Always fun feeling the ABS kick in at the slightest too hard touch of the brake pedal, even with studded tires.
The inflation rate varies a lot by sector and industry. Hopefully you have a startup that has a compelling product where you can raise prices when and if you have to.
The tradeoff with that is that you end up with more than one lane per direction, which works fine with signalized intersections, but is unsafe at non-signal-controlled crosswalks.

Without a traffic light, a car in one lane will stop for a someone waiting to cross, and a driver in the other lane (or who pulls around to pass the first car) might not realize that there is a reason for the car stopping, and hit the person crossing as they enter the other lane.
Formal research into software development techniques tends to be junk. It's very very hard to conduct a meaningful study of professional-scale development. The costs are too high, the confounding variables too many, and the industry demand too low.

Typically you'll get software researchers with no industry experience conducting studies on "subjects of convenience"—their undergraduate programming classes.

I spent a long span of my career selling and consulting around app performance tools, so what I'm missing as I read this article is - what tools are being used to measure and aggregate the metrics? I don't see anything in the article I disagree with, other than to say that there are a lot of software tools out there in the market that attempt to take all of these issues into account. So... I'm left wondering if the author has a specific take on why all of those products aren't a good solution?
Just because corruption doesn't escape the sandbox doesn't means it isn't exploitable.

This like attacking microservices, you have a module that exposes a set of interfaces and produces outputs when called with specific APIs.

For the sake of example lets say you have an authentication module that says if a given user id is root.

Now imagine producing a sequence of API calls that it will trigger the side effect of is_root(id) being true for an id that it is a plain user.

No sandbox escape took place, only internal corruption of internal data keeping structures that lead the is_root() to misbehave.

Are you claiming that this is a common experience? You sure you didn't dunk yours into water or something?

Because out of all people I know irl who had airpods for 2+ years, no one has reported any noticeable battery loss, let alone something as extreme as "only lasts 15 mins". I would be livid if mine lasted anywhere even close to that, but so far I am solidly in the advertised battery life range, even after 3 years of use.

Also, just fyi, it seems like your unit might have been defective, in which case Apple offers free replacement (regardless of whether you have any additional warranties or not)[0]. If you have AppleCare+ and your battery lasts less than 80% of advertised range, it is also free replacement (even if it wasn't a defective unit). And just the regular replacement regardless of warranty or anything like that is $49.

point #2 is silly. So basically your product is slower but its ok cuz its a beta only... Fine. But then cf did not mislead anyone. Your beta is slow.
Yes, I was very deliberately not generalizing to all of Open Source. I was exploring these assertions:

> It's not true that just because a product is open source, it will be of good quality.

> [...] it does appear to be true that at the extremes, the best quality software delivery processes are from open source projects.

To turn around your argument, I think your generalizations about "programmers" are too pessimistic. Many of the best Open Source authors enjoy designing good user interfaces and writing good documentation because they want to make something awesome and beautiful. And commercial entities generally won't/can't give software developers free reign to do that because of marketplace pressures to optimize for profitability and value (which are awesome and beautiful in a different way).

In the two cases I noticed when I investigated the channel looked like it had no uploads other than what I was watching. And there was no visible subscriber count, which I interpreted as likely almost no subscriber. I think YT algorithm tends to push live streamed content.

Interesting. On my bicycle I sometimes point to where a car should stop when I have priority on a roundabout and am about to exit crossing over where they would enter. Seems to work.
There's a kool-aide concern here, which is: to play in the web3 world, you seem to need to have either a LOT of capital that is fine to lose or have access to this small community. The communities I've joined are indistinguishable from Twitch communities where there's a lot of bro high-fives and mutual appreciation for the riches being invented, not much concern for what the side effects might be. And because there's an advantage in staking, people who can afford to just leave money in these volatile currencies get richer. Not saying this is really any different than the world in general, but it seems like web3 advocates paint a picture of "disruption" that feels more like "entrenchment" from an economic vantage.

I generally would do the same thing. I'm amazed at all the hostility towards this. And most importantly, it doesn't read to me like you're being taken for a ride. Much better to help if you want, dictate your terms, generate good will and maintain the relationship etc than get a few hundred dollars, unless you're actually trying to make a living that way. Even from a purely selfish perspective, long term you're approach will serve you much better than trying to be transactional about ever interaction you have. And obviously you could always just say no if you didn't want to do it.

As someone who doesn't use cannabis, can someone explain to me why there continues to be an underground? Saw an article in news a couple weeks ago explaining that there are problems in Oregon again with unlicensed producers in wilderness areas again. One of the primary reasons I was in favor of legalization was that I didn't like the prospects of running into an illegal grow operation when I'm out enjoying Mother Nature. Is it just a matter of economics, IE: the underground, untaxed producers are so much cheaper that there's still an active market?

I've used all gens and recently tried G3 for the first time. I instantly noticed that the bass was significantly better than the Pros. It's been a while since I've listened to G1/G2 but from memory I would easily place G3 above all of them in terms of bass. It wasn't enough to persuade me to get some because I love the noise cancellation on the Pros and would rather wait for their update. But I was tempted, in part due to the bass.

Everything this article says about the limitations of AI systems is also true of humans.

We do have this. We have this all over the country! But either nobody knows about it, or they ignore it.

When the "WALK" sign turns to a flashing "DONT WALK" (or their equivalent symbols) pedestrians are not supposed to enter the intersection.

Pedestrians already in the intersection can safely complete their crossing, but if you're on the sidewalk, you aren't supposed to step into the crosswalk.

It's basically the yellow light for pedestrians.

This is 100% completely ignored everywhere that I have been. Especially in big cities.
