I mean while not great, Apple does seem to be the only company that audits its suppliers for such things. It's dropped suppliers for repeated infractions.

I think a key issue here is making it about Apple gets press. It doesn't matter if others are worse, articles about them don't get press.
> Also, I can unequivocally state that no other vaccine have I ever seen that has to be continually boosted to maintain it's efficacy

There’s a new flu vaccine every year.
I mean, it sounds ridiculous when you put it that way, but it also sounded ridiculous in the 1930s. We're still within living memory of a time when such ideas of how to improve the world and give people more living space were discussed in polite society before polite society started politely shooting and gassing Jews and Gypsies. Reducing the human population so us and our kids have more land and resources sounds great but how? To the Germans, they didn't care how. They didn't really want to hear the details. Americans are exactly the same. Oh, look, there's all this open land with no one living here! Just some buffalos and savages right?
Oh no, that was terrible? You think that was all criminal? How could those people have been so cruel - wiping out whole races to take their land! You would never do that! So now, in the name of ECOLOGY you just want EXCESS PEOPLE TO MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR, no specific plan, just would be nice if they vanished, because there's too many for your taste or what in your opinion the world should be like? And this is supposed to be a liberal or humanistic notion? No, it's exactly the notion of the white American settler or the quiet German. "Too many of this or that - we need more space and more nature - of course I wouldn't kill those dirty people, but it would be great if they disappeared. Better for the planet and the environment, you see."
I think what Gwern is proposing is perhaps better seen by you as an optimization for the current AID rather than a "true" CYOA novel implementation. Because most of what you said applies to AID as well. I toyed with it a bit, but even short snippets of text are often incoherent and I have to give it a lot of grace to operate. In particular, while I don't necessarily mind the way it'll just introduce a new character, I don't like the way they disappear equally quickly and without fanfare.

While AID's nominal attraction is the ability to react to anything, I think based on the evidence only a small percentage of the users end up using it that way. (It's possible they're all the long term users, in which case they are important, but I still think it's a small proportion of the users.) The vast majority of the users the vast majority of the time will be selecting from a small handful of options that would constitute the vast majority of responses.

To the extent you'd find the resulting CYOA rather unappealing, I'd say the current AID is pretty much unappealing in exactly the same way, for exactly the same reasons, and given that AID hasn't exactly taken the world by storm I imagine this is the majority view. (Though it may have the sort of inner core rabid fanbase that you can still build on as a business.)
You can do this already with git natively.

They proved making a motorcycle-like thing is possible, but it's basically useless as a vehicle.
I'm assuming we're referring to the parent comment which lists a combination of these behaviors, as well as doing each into the extremes.

Barely sleeping and only eating junkfood. Spending time only on games.

Surely you understand that exercise is an invention to compensate for our passive lifestyles that require far less physical activity? Does this really have to be explained?
They specified "strings", which I interpreted as lines in a text file. But it doesn't actually matter, because I could make fundamentally the same comment no matter how words (or "strings") are separated.

> It has been established that the truth will eventually surface with sufficient education, public awareness and time.

Not really, but even in the case where it might be partially true - it would definitely be a non-linear function of time. By that I mean the immediate dispersion of true information would be zero, the mid-point would be the max, and then there would be a long tail of disinformation. The winners write the history, and the historians present the stories based on some criteria - and you can be sure that it isn't objective. Have you ever noticed the way that philosophical teachings, the ones going back thousands of years, all promote some kind of social stratification that favors a ruling class? Plato's Republic being an easy example. Ever wonder why? Hint: it isn't because it reflects some emergent quality of the human condition.

> The world does not operate on a "might is right" model.

Unfortunately it absolutely does, or at least has - forever. I'm pretty confident this is the reason why the common theme for religion is the concept of balancing force that is dependent on faith alone. A universal karma, an afterlife. If justice were the rule of the day then these things wouldn't be needed.

The only thing I see potentially changing any of this is solidly rooted in the cryptoanarchy sphere - because misrepresented math simply doesn't function, halting the propagation of corrupting influence in a way no other system can.
You think like me, I also want more automation. You could write apps for your smartphone, smartwatch or smartspeaker to do this or hire someone to write those apps for you.

DT Seattle and other parts are probably the same as SF with tent villages.
Ultimately, that is the idea. Unfortunately, I am enamored with so much of what I get from Google (and Mac/Apple), which keeps me tethered. I pull a way a bit, and then find myself deeper than I was before! Now I'm in this phase (every six months it seems) of being like: yeah, but what about everything else that's out there, that people are making and using, is more considered of the human toll, etc. So, here I am, yet again, looking for options.
> what experimental evidence is there that some gene-based approach to a given sociobehavioral problem in humans in general provides a powerful, rigorous solution to that problem?

The same empirical issues come up with cultural causes. If I recall correctly, Harden says that family income has a 15-20% impact on educational achievement, which is about the same range for genes responsible for intelligence. Or something along those lines. Basically, there are both cultural and genetic factors that can be measured has having some percentage likelihood of influence. To the extent we can rely on such studies. Which again is an empirical issue with reliably understanding something as complex and hard to control for as human behavior. So if one says we can't empirically do that for genes, I don't know why the cultural factors would fare much better.

> I think there's a fair argument that sociobiology as a paradigm as applied to humans is racist, if for no other reason that it explicitly ignores the sociocultural context critical to understanding human experience.

What makes humans so special that genes wouldn't have an influence on behavior? I also don't understand why that position is racist. Genes clearly have an influence on other biological traits. Are we treating the brain as a non-biological entity? Is human culture so different from anything other animals do, that it makes genetic factors obsolete?

> You can handwave about this and say "well sociobiology isn't meant to explain everything" but aren't cognitive-cultural phenomena the crux of its limitations?

It should explain what it can and no more. Same with culture influences. The problem is thinking that it can only be one or the other, otherwise <insert bad thing that happened in the past>.

> then go on to talk about how it's not a clear choice for... long distance touring

I guess you've not ridden the Great Divide? Long distance mountain bike touring. You could do it on a gravel bike, but it would be much more comfortable on a mountain bike.

Gravel biking ... mountain biking ... the difference is mostly in the eye (or saddle) of the beholder.
I guess it might be interpreted as a political statement. However, I saw it as a ‘scientific’ claim that could be refuted by someone in our HN community as I believe his statement is factually wrong. His only citation is this study https://www.nap.edu/catalog/12062/gender-differences-at-crit.... You are right, It was never my intention to start a flame war at all.
> I really don't like the singular use of "they" as it was drummed into my head in 12 grades of English classes that it was wrong,

Yeah, that's the sad thing. At some point we decided that gender neutral pronouns were less favorable, and then taught generations of people not to use them, a couple hundred years before a big cultural mixup where it would have been very useful to have. I was lucky enough to always feel it was appropriate and that the recommendations to not use it were shortsighted. This came about when there was a shift towards people saying we should use "she" instead of "he" for generically referring to a person, but that just seemed silly to me, why would we shift from incorrectly addressing roughtly 50% of the population in writing to incorrectly addressing the other roughly 50% of people, when we could just use "they" and do away with that specific pronoun problem in an accurate and even handed way?
It's so weird (being in the bay area) to hear that tech companies are not pushing diversity stuff but perhaps chicken farms in the south are?

Can you even do the types of strikes / walkouts that the tech workers do on these issues in the south and keep your jobs? Ie, the associates of an energy law firm in texas do a walkout over the lack of action by their firm on climate change?
Is there anything to the theory that this situation is, at least in part, artificially created by businesses looking for an excuse to raise prices and increase margins? I've heard that, but I've never seen any actual supporting data. I'm not even sure what data would/could support that.

I guess I'm asking if this theory has any credibility outside of the various conspiracy theory blogs/sub-reddits?
There has actually been increasing collaboration among studios on software. See the Academy Software Foundation for example. https://www.aswf.io/

And Netflix themselves has released a fair bit of code as open source.
Well, duh. There's plenty of stupid people of ANY classification. But at least most doctors and engineers have proven that they can understand systems analysis and think critically, or they wouldn't have their licenses. Software engineering is barely regulated/licensed, so I certainly wouldn't apply this to most software engineers.
I was very disappointed that the Beer distribution game, as described in the Wikipedia article anyway, is not a drinking game.
https://vaers.hhs.gov/data/dataguide.html

> When evaluating data from VAERS, it is important to note that for any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established. Reports of all possible associations between vaccines and adverse events (possible side effects) are filed in VAERS. Therefore, VAERS collects data on any adverse event following vaccination, be it coincidental or truly caused by a vaccine. The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event.

What data supports what claim? You are also aware that anyone can submit reports to VAERS, right?

Until someone actively investigates the case and finds it was indeed caused by the vaccine, the VAERS data does not show anything. Using VAERS as your 'data' in a rhetoric is highly unscientific.

Let's also not forget how the raw VAERS data was used during the autism-vaccine link litigation. We should know better.
Always nice to see other sites using Svelte!
Sometimes the word "dura" has the meaning of "something big and an intricate nature," i.e., just a synonym for "stuff." For example, "положи эту дуру в шкаф" (put this stuff in the closet)
I know nothing about HiFi (I use Spotify, just to set the bar) but even with a literal PhD in physics I could barely understand b what was on that page.

There is something about fluid frequencies, holographic frequencies and green frequencies. The kind of frequencies we do not hear about at school.

Together with the gold something digital transmitters of sampled signal (I think they mean HDMI) I am out.
Because meat isn't as commoditized, there's too many different grades and products. When 70%+ of your output turns into shelf-stable milk powder, it's all the same. Fonterra has kept local milk supplies in New Zealand at export prices for more than 15 years. It wasn't until recently that smaller independent co-op's formed and began selling processor-to-table and exporting themselves.

However now many of the processors are owned by the same companies or people, so processors who'd previously deal with these co-ops are signing exclusivity deals with Fonterra and they're being shut out of the market.

But we also have the income and GDP brought by Fonterra for the last 10-15 years to thank. Unfortunately we're seeing a lot of those profits off-shored or eaten up by corporate middlemen owned by conglomerates now.
That's why mechanism design [1] exists as a field of study. The whole idea of that field is to provide the proper incentives to steer the participants towards your objective. Yes, considering they will try to "game" the system however they can.

I feel compelled to add that the "special light source" for EUV that you mention vaporizes 50,000 of those tin droplets PER SECOND. I am compelled because of how utterly amazing I think this is both in concept and implementation.

I think it also worth mentioning that there is only one company that makes these EUV machines -- a dutch company called ASML.

Yes, I'm aware and many others are aware those alternatives exist. People seem confused how people are spending time on FB if not through their news feeds, and I'm telling you. A bajillion people continue to use FB outside of your circle.

Also Yelp is practically nonexistent in my suburban area. And restaurants often have more updates/activity on their FB pages than their own standalone websites.

And older people seem to think Nextdoor is a scam since they keep using real people's names on paper mail when they weren't aware that they consented to it after signing up.
There are game libraries for many languages, so for beginners to game development, anything will do. Small libraries abstract a few functionalities over the lower level ones (sprite batching, input/events handling, etc.) and handle multiplatform. Larger libraries may take care of other aspects (game loop, scene graph, etc.) and specialize on certain game types (3D, platform, RPG, etc.).

C++ is probably a must if you one writes large games and/or performance critical ones (regarding "high performance"/low level languages, Rust libraries are immature).

Scripting languages (e.g. Python/PyGame) can be a good (quick) way to start and experiment. But readability falls very quickly when complexity grows (e.g. difficult to interpret inheritance tree), so at some point one may easily feel the need to switch to a statically typed language.

Regarding algorithms, a very common beginners book is "Game Programming Patterns", which is also available for free in HTML: https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/contents.html.
This is cool, but for me to use it I would need a LOT of confidence that the tool wouldn't just silently stop working one day. With my luck that would probably be the one day I actually needed to use this tool.

You may want to look at turning this into a systemd/launchd service so the OS can launch the tool on boot and handle restarting it on crashes.
EDIT: This was my first posting on a "who wants to be hired" thread, after months of nothing from "who is hiring". I got a lot of interest that led to a good offer with start up in an interesting vertical. I start as Lead Embedded Engineer on Valentine's Day. If I did not respond to your message(s), I sincerely thank you for your interest, but I can only take one job at a time. Thanks, HN!

Location: Oregon, USA

Willing to relocate: no
Technologies: embedded systems, C/C++, assembly, ARM, Linux, Yocto, microcontrollers, board bring up, ...
Résumé: Available Upon Request
Email: *removed*

I have been a embedded firmware and software engineer for almost thirty years, starting by developing MCU-based systems and their Unix-based servers. My current work involves creation of custom Linux distributions for embedded systems, including board bring up and custom device drivers. I have been doing handheld IoT and backend DevOps longer than those reductive abbreviations have existed.

I have been committed to using open source tools and platforms for the past twenty years, and I have worked directly to improve that ecosystem (e.g. GNU toolchain, OpenOCD). I prefer to produce open source solutions as well, but I have learned to be practical when it comes to building a business.

I am looking for a position at the staff through founder level, helping to architect and build a new embedded platform in an interesting vertical. I am interested in working with robotics, drones, 3-D printing, or other kinds of motorized and articulated systems.

Technologies and markets that I will actively avoid include JavaScript/Java/PHP/Ruby, Microsoft products/platforms, off-site clouds, Anything-as-a-Service, fintech/cryptocurrencies, "web3", large/multinational businesses, government agencies, and more.
From what I recall from those early days though is the streaming catalog was constantly shuffling what was available. You could bookmark some movie you wanted to watch, and then a couple weeks later, it suddenly wasn't available anymore - 2 months later it would return.

Certainly convenient though if you didn't care much when you saw something.
Poultry that is free range is more stringy and chewy. It also much leaner and smaller. I lived off free range chicken when i worked summers on my grandfather's farm in Hawaii. It is all personal preference. If you order chicken pho at a Vietnamese restaurant it will most likely be free range chicken or what they call "Walking chicken". It is completely different than a Tyson Chicken from Costco with oversized breast meat.
