You might double back and read the Odyssey. The Aeneid is in two halves, the Odysseian first half and the Iliadic second half. Virgil is creating a new creation myth for Rome, different from Romulus and Remus, and he's binding it to the Homeric epics. I like the Odyssey more but I like both.
Except none of those things has anything to do with bitcoin...

I mean, I'm not sure you're wrong here, it just seems like a step was missed. Your comment is about bitcoin, but your conclusion is about a bunch of stuff that does not run on the bitcoin blockchain. What's the missing piece here?
To my knowledge an alcubierre effect requires negative energy. If someone's invented something that behaves like negative energy why isn't that the headline? Warp drive is cool but it's a second-order consequence of what would be a physics revolution greater than relativity.
Yes, the most important one is the idea that censorship is ok.
I'm not the one claiming a cheaper price. According to the Planetary Society, it cost $49B to develop and launch the first Shuttle mission (in 2020 dollars).[1]

According to Pielke and Byerly [2]:

The US Congress and NASA spent more than US$192 billion (in 2010 dollars) on the shuttle from 1971 to 2010 (see 'A costly enterprise'). The agency launched 131 flights; two ended in tragedy with the loss of Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. During the operational years from 1982 to 2010, the average cost per launch was about $1.2 billion. Over the life of the programme, this increases to about $1.5 billion per launch (R. A. Pielke Space Policy 10, 78–80; 1994).

This is in 2010 dollars, but it doesn't even require adjusting for inflation to see the cost is far higher than your reporting. Each seat cost over $214M in 2010 dollars. Just for giggles, inflation since 2010 would bump that cost up to 272M per seat.

It's fair to criticize Musk for toxic work environments at Tesla, and for generally being a Twitter douche. But SpaceX has been an extraordinary success.

> And some donated more than others

That's unrelated to donations. One can accept donations without putting their soul on sale.

As an extension developer I get offers for buying my extensions or adding donator-specific functionality: I just don't accept them, even though I accept simple donations/sponsorships. The extension is still free of ads (except in the readme)
I never understood how a personal check could be secure. You can literally have them printed for you over the internet, and deposited via image. I just can't understand where the security comes from, it feels like a liability just having them.
We self-host Postal and it’s worked quite well for us. We are a heavily regulated organisation and have to send several millions of transactional emails every day (as mandated by financial regulations).

IP reputation has nothing to do with Postal and has to be managed separately; have the records setup properly, don’t send spam, and keep an eye on public blocklists regularly.

I grew up in a country town. No car = no life.

Now I live in Melbourne. We use the car very little but would never be without one. I have too many friends in the country and without a car you aren't getting to them without hassle and $. And so the balance of convenience vs cost means we keep the car.

I also run Malwarebytes regularly. It's never found anything for me personally, but I'm a very cautious user, and others I've recommended it to have found meaningful results that they didn't know otherwise.
Plus it was there to prevent DoS attacks which is understandable.

Even without the ToS language, if you're really going to stress test a service, it's probably a good idea to give them a heads up, lest you get marked a bad actor.
Which feature are you saying was not used much? Addition with carry; or addition without carry; or multiple flag registers?
Yes, except I think the average person isn’t quite so aggressively proud of their dislike of advertising as the average HN commenter.

Can you expand on what you mean by "song recommendations" in this context? Do you mean recommendations like "if you like X you might also like Y"?

Assuming the answer is "yes", I'm not sure if I follow the leap from "non-negative matrix factorization as a bank of note templates (from their spectrograms)" to "song recommendations".

Very loosely speaking my (not wholly uninformed) interpretation of the "note templates" bit is sorta analogous to DFFT analysis with frequency bins centered around the "regular" notes of the chromatic scale - i.e., the cells of the matrix represent signal strength for the frequencies that correspond to conventional western notes (e.g. integer-valued midi note numbers) or (in aggregated form) octave-independent pitch-classes rather than arbitrary frequencies (that might fall between two conventional notes). It's a very useful representation of the component frequencies that appear in conventional music but at the end of the day it's more or less "here are the notes (or pitch classes) active for this given beat".

That is, I can imagine the role this information - essentially the musical score itself, or at least the pitch-specific dimension of that score - could play in a song-recommendation engine, but I'm curious how/why that specific spectrogram-template-based representation is significant.

Are you suggesting that that specific representation could be applied to song recommendations in a way that similar polyphonic-pitch-per-beat information derived from some other algorithm (FFT analysis for a hypothetical example) could not?

Or maybe I've misinterpreted your comment entirely?

I mean, you're right - but honestly it's really fucking cool. I never sign up to newsletters but this made me do it because it's really fucking cool.

Though - I'd be keen to pay $5/m for premium access to what they do, their previous scans. Charge people $10/m so they have voting rights on what to do next. Possibilities are endless!

I have a couple of Patreons for people writing federated apps/code, and it's always nice to support them. Would do the same here because I get enormous value from it and it's really fucking cool
Ironically the Pros do not fit my ears even slightly, but the regular ones are mostly OK.

Coming from a self taught dev who started in the late 90s, I don’t feel any need for ML in my work testing or otherwise. But source control, automated testing, and other computerized validation have been godsends even if they made me weep on introduction.

And if I were building anything with the scope and scale of Firefox, I would be reaching for every possible testing advancement I could find, at least to evaluate.

I’m already investigating property and mutation testing tools for hobby projects because I want to use them for real world things and want to be able to recommend them to friends, and hopefully eventually others. And because their scopes are large once applied, even if the code I’ve written is small.

The reality is that “does it compile” is great for personal projects but falls apart the moment it’s on a network, even a sneakernet.
It's kind of weird to work for free though, isn't it? Sure it's something we like doing, but I really see no reason to reject free money. For uBlock this free money would be a fairly large amount, I'm sure. Even if that'd require some legal setup, I assume those fees will be largely covered.

I don't understand what you mean. I wouldn't imagine being featured on Spotify Wrapped is a goal for artists in and of itself. It's just a by-product of the fact that they had a lot of listeners. I can understand the frustration with having to run ad campaigns to get meaningful amounts of listeners, but how does Spotify Wrapped tie into that point?

It most definitely is arbitrage. The Walmart website supports a marketplace. So ordering from the website doesn't mean much these days unless you specifically look for the caption "Sold by Walmart.com"

Otherwise, like I have realized, you might as well just buy from eBay.

The Casimir effect is already a known way of creating (locally) negative energy. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy#Casimir_effect
So Web3 is built on blockchains which are decentralized and decentralization confers benefits such as censorship resistance, downtime resistance etc.

But blockchains require resources to operate. At great scale they will require great cost. What's to stop powerful actors from leveraging economies of scale and consolidating those resources, then ultimately using their control to manipulate the blockchains themselves?

This is exactly what happened with web servers. The web was initially very decentralized, due to economies of scale it consolidated and is hosted mostly in a few large datacenters now. The owners of those datacenters are by necessity very close partners with the government du jour, and now manipulate the content they host.

Is it because nearly every stablecoin is in USD and none so far are in JPY? Safety obviously isn’t the reason they’re restricting USD stablecoins because you can invest in CumRocketCoins, SquidGameTokens, and ShibaInuTokens still there.
This is an interesting approach to self promotion.

Instead of outright saying “I wrote a book, you should buy it!”, you generate some form of meta-content revolving around your book, that ideally fits the kind of content that would be appreciated by the people on whatever platform you’re doing the promotion on.

Admittedly this ain’t exactly rocket science and in this specific case the actual agenda is so obvious as to make ones eye roll but it does make you wonder about other more subtle techniques being applied.

And very quickly this can lead to a form of existential crisis where you wonder if anything you see, even say on hn, has any actual value or maybe its all just people finding ways to hijack and abuse basic human neural mechanisms in order to generate revenue off of others.

And then you wonder, what does that make them? If these people and what they do are solely defined by what others find “interesting”, or by what can be profitable - what does that mean about who they are? Like, they are essentially non-entities, with no real human substance to them: they are the descriptions of our worst tendencies and reflections of economic mechanisms. I think this is called “soulless”.

Maybe I should write a post about how I wrote this post. Like subscribe and leave a comment :)

Viagra Is Linked to Almost 70% Lower Risk of Alzheimer's
If you truly think this is a rare disease, it's very likely that there's just one single causal mutation in your partner's genome. The easiest way to find that is to:

1. Search for variants in that genome where the allele frequency is close to 0 in a very large population e.g. https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/

2. Look into variant effects for those you prioritized in step 1 using https://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/index.html

Rare diseases are typically due to a coding mutation that alters the protein coding sequence in some significant way.

If you need help contact details are on my profile. I do this for a living at a university.

rsIDs are a minefield as they change often, there are synonyms and probably you won't have all loci properly annotated. Don't rely on that too much unless you really know what you are doing.

If it's not a rare disease, this gets quite more difficult. Also, depending on the whole genome sequencing platform you have used, many structural variants (e.g. deletions or insertions of large chunks of DNA) won't be easy to measure.

Other comments have suggested Promethease, which will give you a bit of help if it's not a rare disease (e.g. if it's an autoimmune one, it's good at imputing HLA and finding risk haplotypes).

My whole comment is a bit of an oversimplification, but I think these suggestions are a good starting point.
Nobody needs to push it, for a reason that's been the case for the last 20 years.

The "proof" part of proof of coverage is very weak in Helium currently. Clearly most people are in good faith, but it is inherently vulnerable to Sybil attacks, because there's a chicken and egg problem with starting a new group of hotspots in an area with no external 'trusted' hotspots to validate them.
They aren’t cryptographically secure, obviously.

The security comes from the capacity of the banks to hold or reverse them, and the capacity of the legal system to jail people for check fraud.

For sure, but isn’t this already the most important leap we needed? That we can imagine that it’s at least theoretically possible?

In all this excitement hopefully we don’t forget the horde of luddites that’s the modern physics community that couldn’t imagine the possibility of faster than light travel. Like I get it, it’s absurd to consider FTL in regular space time, but when a normal person asks this question all they care about is whether they can realistically imagine going from one star to another in meaningful timespans. Pretty much every physicist I talked to online and offline would scoff and call the concept “absurd” (which is technically true in regular space time). I even believed them for a while. They’d shut down any discussion or imagination before it was even possible. Even now you see the same backwards thinking instead of being excited at least by the theoretical possibility.

Even last year when I brought up the Alcubierre drive to a physics PhD he wasn’t aware of it, and couldn’t imagine this being anything other than a joke (even after showing him the Wikipedia page).

Like a bunch of science fiction writers could think of something called “warp drive” and it took decades for some dude in Mexico to imagine a theoretical potential method to do this?

The last great physicist in my opinion is Carl Sagan, the entire field just like most sciences have rotten to the core into completely unimaginative folks who cannot fathom a world that’s only marginally different from what’s currently around them.

Richard Rhodes spends a lot of time in his “making of the atomic bomb” to figure out if the original inspiration for the atom bomb might have come from HG Wells. We’ve had great imagination in our science fiction, only our scientists have lost whatever mojo used to be there (and I suppose a gun to the head in the name of Nazism) to inspire from it.
>Interest payments are not adding to your wealth, they're subtracting from it. Almost none of your house payment in the early years of the mortgage goes towards increasing equity.

Ya that's fair based on the payment schedule, banks gotta get their money if you pay it off early; but still more equity than renting.

>Unless you bought an adjustable rate mortgage.

Ya a lot of people got burned by balloon payments in 2008 after the market tanked. They were speculating more so than buying a house to live in many times I suspect. I bought a house in 2002 and it never went below what I paid for it by 2008. I bought at a really good time for my city though.

>Nearly all people imagine that if they paid $X for a house, then sold it for $(X +Y) that they made $Y profit.

I don't think anything ever works that way. Always giving someone a cut.

>They leave out all other costs, like taxes, real estate commissions, insurance, etc., etc., etc.

Ya all that sucks. But if you are renting, you still pay that for somebody else, it's baked in plus profit. If renting wasn't profitable, they wouldn't do it.
