I think we all need to be cautious about such perceptions. It's easy to see this sort of thing and derive a general conclusion of deterioration, but people have been making such pronouncements about HN for well over a decade—basically since the beginning of the site.

The way these perceptions tend to work is that we notice a few data points and then jump to a general conclusion. Remember the so-called primitive tribe that supposedly could only count "1, 2, 3, many"? It seems that's basically how all our minds work. The trouble is that a stochastic data feed like HN inevitably generates as many such sequences as you could ask for. It's really the mind that decides which sequence to pick out and deem representative. This leads to false feelings of generality (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

(Edit: for example, look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29781019 and how positive the top comments are at the moment. The stochastic feed generates lots of those datapoints too!)

What's worse, those feelings have consequences, since they lead to a "why bother" sense of no longer needing to take care of this place or do one's part of build up the culture. If it's all just a shitshow, why not just add more shit? everyone else is, right? Well, no—that's not true at all.

This is not to say that the problems you mention aren't real. They are, and it's important to work on them, and we spend a lot of time trying to persuade people to work on them. It's in everyone's interest to do that, so we can achieve at least part of what we all want here, which is to have an interesting internet forum that doesn't suck.

We should also all be cautious about seeing other people as the problem ("completely wrecked by nay-sayers and just generally unpleasant people anymore, it seems"). My experience is that if we look honestly at ourselves we find all the same things to be true there too, and that's a more productive place to work.

None of the turks I know who are getting paid Tether right now are complaining.
There are many stories around both Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu. Since they were supposed to be perfect in the eyes of the people, the news and all available official information portrayed them similarly to how Kim Jong-Un is portrayed today in North Korea. They were supposed to be the best at everything, including science.

One of my favourite stories is about one of the metro lines in Bucharest. Elena Ceausescu managed to see some of the plans for the metro and told the engineers to scrap a particular station - Romana station - because of her bias against students. The engineers realized that this is stupid and that they will likely have to retrofit the station at some later point anyway, so they built it in secret, masked as a maintenance necessity. As a result, the present Romana station is very narrow, unlike any other metro stations in Bucharest.

Makes me wonder how much planning was done based on the rulers' whims.

A short summary of the full story + photos can be found on Wikipedia. [1]

Thousands and thousand of politicians and others are on Twitter with politics similar to Greene, and they aren't banned. It would be pretty easy for them to just ban whoever has politics that they don't like.

They banned her because she was spreading information that they deemed harmful.
> I'm sure it would become evident that they know more about spam and anti-spam efforts than anybody else in existence

Really?

I can point you to Hard Problems that have been solved better at little startups than at Google - or, indeed, at any other bigco. That's why acquisitions happen.

Why does Google having 1000 engineers working on a problem automatically mean they are the smartest?
Pay down debt
This seems like a bit of an over-simplification.. A car needs to be type approved to run on our streets and the insurance companies need to accept whatever you did to the car in case of a crash. You don't really want to end up paying 100% yourself when you crash into that school bus with your mod.

However it would be interesting to learn how type approvals handle the self-driving things. Maybe they really do allow all kinds of computer-assisted things? I don't know. If you change some structural beams in the car you surely lose approval. But can you mod steering and braking? What about openpilot users that crash?
There isn't a demand for stolen car parts. There is a demand for cheeper/used car parts. This is in part due to lower salaries combined with people wanting to buy "cool" cars that are way over their budget hence they aren't able to afford new car parts for them.
Wow so that's completely opposite of my feelings on this topic. I would never, ever use Expedia for travel search over Google flights/hotels. Google travel is the meta-search engine for this vertical. Expedia etc. are all-in on spam and scams, trying at every opportunity to take an extra dollar from you.

The same with Amazon. You'd think that with all the armchair search quality experts cropping up lately there might be more vocal complaints about the fact that Amazon's own search can't find basic consumer products sold by Amazon itself. If I want to find stuff on Amazon, I search Google for it.
We all saw South Park: Pandemic Special, the whole thing can be blamed on Mickey Mouse and his whoring around and luring Randy into debauchery.
More than likely its an alibaba $5 generic 100mbps switch. Thats what is inside other audiophile switches.

The trick here is that nobody is going to toss $2500 at Synergistic just to pull one apart and void the warranty to find out. Quite a clever scam.
Where do you draw the line?

> They can always put a smaller down payment and just pay for the PMI so don’t feel too bad.

Which brings up another piece of "conventional" homebuying: the need for a 20% down payment. Many Americans are still taught this magic number, but the reality in many big cities is that you won't always be able to afford that amount.
Just start making and see where it takes you. Making and sharing is a vehicle for your curiosity and sometimes it gets called art.

My parents ran a non-profit arts organization that ran festivals and created all kinds of opportunities for artists and musicians. Growing up in that environment, you see that there are definitely some people who are just totally wired for a deep compulsion to create stuff. It's like a habit, an itch that has to be scratched. If you make things, keep following that compulsion.

As for a career in art, that's just a gamble and seeking out opportunities like local arts organizations. There are a lot of dimensions and niches to explore. 1st and foremost, make things for yourself, because of everything that brought you to that moment. Others may not give a crap about what you made, and you have to accept that, but you know what you have brought into this world, and you'll be glad you did it. Scratch the itch.

Personally, I'm 50 years old and just getting started with my own art. Having grown up in an arts world, served many years on the board of directors of a local arts organization, and I still feel lost all the time. It don't matter. Just make.
The meme that people buy Apple products as status symbols needs to die at some point. If you can name one single other manufacturer making products at the quality of an iPhone but at half the price then you can call them overpriced. I don't normally like to use the "if it was possible someone would have done it by now" argument but there are literally millions of Apple copycats and wannabees and they all suck. Apple's product design and manufacturing is insanely good and can be felt going to any big box store and picking up any laptop. If you don't care about that then of course you'll say they're overpriced because dollars aren't going to places you don't care about. It's why I love my M50x's, they're cheap ass plastic and faux leather because every dollar went into the inside.

Look I spent probably eight years deriding iPhones with some stupid sense of techno-superiority with my Android until I actually tried one. They are so much better holy shit, the speed of Safari alone is worth the price of admission.

Naw. You have to just gird yourself for the hit. It's true, what he says. The first wave is brutal.
Nothing _anyone_ says should demotivate _you_. Your motivation has to come from your own inside vision. Having people talk shit about it is actually a sign that you're doing something right, because they're jealous. The only time you should worry is if they say nothing at all.. =\
The page mentioned using the RP2040 to generate the clock signal. Does the PHY not have this built in? Is there an advantage to doing it this way? (Or is this the only way it is possible?)

I have no idea how this works, but that stuck me as interesting.
It is simple. Accept that there won't be any hire in near future and recognize that you have a very good job security. Understaffed teams have incentive to retain talents.

use this fact as leverage to negotiate a higher increment! and use the "understaff" excuse to lower your work pressure.

I can't imagine anything else which is both desirable and possible from such a situation.

PS: I consider hiring someone into the team as undesirable as it will be bad for any candidate worth hiring.
Thanks! I don't know much about cryptography and will check this out.
"You'll also get to know the people running the shows, and get to know the local community." This is key. Meeting people and forming relationships with other folks who love art so much that they, like you, want to find ways to share it with others.

What are your favorite galleries? Which shows stick with you, make you see the world differently? Are you more interested in formal work - visually appealing/ materially interesting work? Or are you more interested in conceptual work, art that is more overtly imbued with new ideas? Or all of the above/ something else....

Your studio practice activates by seeing lots of shows and introducing yourself to artists and gallerists who put on shows you resonate with. Art is a language we all share. So even though you are one artist making stuff, you are also part of a larger dialogue. Engaging in this conversation is how you get invited to show.
In Romania certainly. Outside Romania?
Exactly, yes! I said this on a related thread yesterday, but the "secret of willpower" is less in the direct application and more in the timing. You have to set yourself to up not rely on just willpower at the moment of decision. Apply it ahead of time.

ah, so everyone wanted to move from carefully crafted personal websites where every detail counts and low effort publications are harshly punished to platforms with guranteed readership and now we have a curration problem?

Someone (who probably doesnt have a website) said that comment moderation on your own website is to much work. Perhaps the whole internet is to much work?

But i like the spam search engine by and for spammers as a way of finding the latest and greatest affiliate marketing and blockchain swindle.
I’m somewhat confused by your example here.

Are there downsides to Apple having control over the App Store? Absolutely. Is tying your credit card to your Apple account “user hostile”? I’m not so sure.

The piece of mind knowing that I’m not going to have to fight with some random company to get a subscription cancelled is worth it for me. (Looking at you, NYTimes, Comcast, etc.)

You're not describing being an "artist".

I'm a musician. I play every day, I make music with other people, I play for money sometimes, I help people put out recordings.

None of that work is the same as the work we do to promote ourselves.

I also do a lot of pen and ink drawings. I don't sell them. It's fun.

Not what you're describing.

If you wanna do that as a hobby, just become an "Instagram influence" or something and try to figure out how to get stuff that get popular and shared. You don't even really need content.

That's exactly the point. Private healthcare is not interested in this case at all, nor in any cases like it. It's not profitable.

Also the whistleblower isn't a member of the health authority. He's an employee of Vitalité Network which has a contact with the health authority but is also allowed to operate privately under some provisions.
I’m never bored. I love my work. That said, it sounds to my untutored self that you may be depressed. Worth looking into.

Reminds me of Jamie Oliver being baffled about schools that hand out sugared milk to kids, arguing that milk is healthy, and if they didn’t put sugar in it, the kids wouldn’t drink if.

Same thing here with yogurt and granola. People want to believe these things are good for them. But instead of adapting their taste to healthy food, they adapt the food to their unhealthy taste, turning anything into a vehicle for sugar.
Beacon Biosignals | Multiple Positions | NYC, Boston, Remote | Full Time

Brain monitoring is not easily accessible, interpretable or actionable. We're going to fix this, and we'd like you to help.

With improved access to brain data and the right tools to act on it, clinicians could intervene in real-time, match life-altering therapies to the patients they benefit most, and treat previously untreatable neurological and psychiatric diseases.

We're a small startup founded by numerical programmers, neuroscientists, ML researchers, and practicing neurologists who are committed to translating our best-of-breed clinical research from the lab into hospitals and beyond.

Our team is composed of neuro-experts, product development experts, open-source enthusiasts, audio/DSP/compilers nerds, and generally easy-going (but dedicated!) folks.

We believe that:

- Successful product development requires rapid, early feedback from real patients and clinicians.

- Feats of technical wizardry are only useful in combination with honest, frequent, and open communication.

- A diverse team builds more robust systems and practices more meaningful science.

We have a few different roles available, and are always happy to chat with interested folks. Interested in working with PostgreSQL, Typescript, React, and/or Julia daily? Reach out!

To apply, check out https://beacon.bio/careers.

Google Alerts over Time
When there is a platform, or critical infra as an obstruction then this is unreasonable.

Arguable a DIY search engine is impossible on the scale of google because, aside from CPU power and storage, goog gets privileged indexing access.

Everything else seems reasonable to DIY.
Those things have a lifetime warranty. Not uncommon to see them in use by touring musicians and the like. Just get monoprice for home use, though.
I like down on people who look down on animal lovers.

The love you get from animals (dogs, cats, etc...) is pure. These creatures are incapable of malice and wrong, and their desires are simple.

Accordingly, Animals (and children) are the only creatures to which I can give unconditional love.
> but I want to understand how an artist is launched, how he/she gets recognition, how he/she gets invited to shows, etc.

Not to sound harsh but you are not interested in becoming an artist, at all, if it is the kind of thing you are asking here, you are interested in becoming a socialite, which doesn't require any form of artistic skill other than the gift of gab.

This isn't about art here, but marketing.
This does not follow at all; the GPUs were already iterating basically as fast as they can go - after all, why would it be, it's not sped up by putting more on the production line or more engineers on the design side.

NVIDIA at least have been trying anti-cryptomining measures in their firmware. A form of defensive innovation, I suppose.

The crypto advocates really do not want to hear it, but their proof-of-waste scheme has big negative externalities for other people.
You ever see how much people spend on AWS to host a basic CRUD web app?
