Okay, let's go with your human comparison, wouldn't it also be weird if a human was subjected to 30 experiments before being killed, all described without any reference to the state of the person's health or mentality? Would that not make you pause and reflect on how inhuman it is, or how so we can be?

Humans can make informed choices when studied by science, and when they aren't society strongly disapproves - registering that disapproval by criticising the lack of compassion given - and expressed.

But how exactly how did JCharante lecture anyone?
That's definitely a problem. I wasn't claiming it wasn't an issue, I was curious how long ago it happened because I wanted to know if it was the same as the issue I experienced years ago.
This isn't a full answer, but I know of a few "smart" appliances out there that use these gateways to deliver messages. The washing machines in my college apartment (which were otherwise extremely dumb) did for some reason.

The amount of traffic that goes through these gateways probably isn't worth charging for, given the amount of headache it would cause for incidental uses like the above. But it would probably cut down on gateway spam, which seems to have increased lately (at least on AT&T).
I'm only buying high endurance memory now. I've had enough cheap usb and sd cards die on me. Losing my data is not worth saving $10.
I played Fortnite when it was an entirely different game. I even paid $40 for it. It was nothing at all like PUBG.

Then PUBG became popular. Suddenly Fortnite, the game I bought, was an entire different game... and released for free. Yeah, it might not be illegal, but it sure was a shady, asshole move by a monopolizing megacorp abusing their market position and exploiting their engine customers.
For me to buy a thing, I must want the thing more than I want the money, so I am necessarily always paying less than its full value. Then what I paid is divided between all the people worked to provide the thing and the tools and supplies they used. It has to be this way or trade wouldn’t be worthwhile.

Making an argument that Apple is violating anti-trust laws at this point is like arguing that the moon is made of cheese. It's plainly, factually incorrect. There's literally nothing happening here that even approaches the guardrails established by, say, the Sherman Act.

It is not a violation of antitrust laws to build a better mousetrap, and require people to do business with you in order to enjoy said mousetrap.
It's so weird to see an author express such disdain for Elon Musk, and yet still credit him repeatedly with something he hasn't actually done, which is start all of the companies he runs. He bought Tesla, he didn't start it.
It's all about duty cycle. Idle browsing is not taxing.
This is like saying Apple couldn’t have possibly developed the iPhone in secrecy. China has massive incentive to both do this research and make said research as opaque as possible to the rest of the world.
Thank you. I prefer to use full terminology for my fields abreviations to prevent others needing to look them up just to know what I meant. I feel pretentious if I don’t.

I am not in agreement with almost every other commenter on this post.

You likely have a need to be heard, which is completely and utterly valid. Your sensitivity, as you call it, is likely a sign that your deeply valid need to be heard is not being met.

You likely also have a need to be creative, which is manifesting in your desire to work on design, which is also deeply valid.

You likely also have a need to be treated as if you are competent, which you are and is deeply valid.

Other needs you may have -- appreciation, belonging, cooperation, communication, empathy, mutuality, respect, trust, authenticity... and many others. Most of us deeply struggle to get these needs met, in spite of them being valid and it probably being possible a lot more often than we think.

In NVC, non-violent communication, there is the concept that _needs are never in conflict, but strategies are_.

You have a strategy for meeting your needs. It sounds like your current strategy for meeting your needs as a human being are to (a) work with this team and (b) communicate with this team in the ways you have been communication. You are understandably getting upset that your needs are not being met -- both with yourself and the team.

The work you need to do to be happy is to take a step back and ask yourself your needs which. Here is a great list of needs -- https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/needs-inventory. Remember that all your needs are valid.

From there, you need to think about what strategies you are using, whether they work and, if your strategies aren't working, which strategies you can use to get your needs met. That you can use to _actually_ get them met, because they are not being met right now. That might mean quitting the team you are on; or it could mean staying, but changing the way you communicate your needs. Again, without question, one of the things you need to do is _accept that your needs are valid and stop questioning them_, though you likely need to reconsider your strategy.

Good luck.
Not free for meaningful numbers of requests, but I've used APIs like numverify[1] to do this before. There are probably per-carrier APIs you can request access to.

Haha I came here to say just that. Using NAT and routing you can setup the machine initiating the client ssh connection to act as an internet gateway for the clients that have its IP set as their gateway. Did this with a raspberry pi before.

They didn't directly rip assets, but based on those screenshots, they obviously mimicked tons of assets. Armor, weapons (the frying pan, really?), structures, and even some level design. That, combined with the fact that the design of the game was identical seems like a pretty good case to me.

Another thing that will make the case interesting is that mobile games like this are like chameleons. If you look up free fire now, it looks more like Fortnite.
Indeed. They've been looking for the intermediate host for 2 years and have not found anything close to SARS-CoV-2.

Contrast that with the fact that they found the intermediate host for the first SARS within just a few months of that outbreak.
Why is that? How would selecting for evolved inactivity be differentiable?
How would you like people that aren't sociopaths to behave there differently? Be more self sufficient? Not believe everything written on the internet? This is a thread about an arbitration court what do you think people need to browse onion services? Is there any specific PSA in your post?
>what are they doing to bring in customers to specific apps?

They are making all the devices your app runs on. They are putting your app in their app store. They could remove your app from the app store and 0 customers would come to your app.
Do you mean taste-wise or in terms of effects? It definitely has a strong cannabis flavor, but so do most other edibles. In terms of effects, can't say I've noticed any difference from regular products here in WA.
It can be illegal depending on some factors.

Like there are things like design patents or even "normal" parents which might be violated.

Some countries also have laws which make a rip off by itself illegal if it's too similar (oversimplified).
The author claims to have a proof that NP = coNP = PSPACE along the following lines: first they describe their favorite axiomatic logical system, then they claim to have a method to compress quasipolynomial-sized proofs in this system to polynomial-sized proofs. If their claimed proof worked, it would be a breakthrough the likes of which math has never seen before - NP = coNP means that every easily stated puzzle with no solution has a short proof of unsolvability (NP = coNP is widely believed to be false).

Looking at some of the previous papers (such as [1]) building towards the proof (which appear to have actually been published?!), I don't see any magic. It looks complex enough that the author probably fooled themself, but there doesn't seem to be any amazing new algorithmic ingredient such as the idea behind the fast fourier transform or fast matrix multiplication. Color me extremely skeptical.

I hope this can support SugarSS or other indented syntaxes easily. As far as I can tell, you'd still need to slap in PostCSS to transform to CSS first which defeats the purpose. Semicolons and brackets, like with JSON, make for a condense format for compressing but have an awful writing experience and contribute nothing to readability.
I don't think it was that nuanced, actually.

Basically it came down to an attempt at FUD: "Everyone is biased, you can't really trust anyone, therefore I don't need to acknowledge of any of the substantive points you are making."

Misdirection, in other words.
It’s probably just my cynicism :( but I usually just assume most corps will do it if they thought it would make them more money.
I feel happy with my compensation, i get enough money (so not for free) and my shares are not a lot but ok with me. I love the product (and the tech team by the way) and being able to work on a product i love is really what i want. But for this reason i have indeed zero leverage because they know i would never actually walk away from it. I could easily make it painful for them but not without hurting the company more than already and that would cross the line to putting the future in danger which would help no one. They indeed have no respect for me but as long as i had control over the product this did not bother me.
Yes optionally, because trailers with links can be especially helpful when a commit is relating to specific URLs, such a relevant blog post, or design image, or planning document, or industry publication, or committee RFC.
I think this is very wishful thinking, or deliberately choosing how to interpret "lab-made" to be "sliced and diced and recombined".

"Lab-made" still encompasses the whole of GoF research. That is, a virus can appear to have naturally evolved but have been evolved in lab under conditions by which it develops quicker, more efficiently, etc. If the virus was manufactured through some means then it was, by definition, lab-made. Even if it doesn't imply base-pair level manipulation by humans themselves.

It has been clear for ~1 year that not only did the NIH fund some GoF research it also funded research by a lab that was researching this exact virus. It is also clear that the Obama administration early on tried to kill this type research because it's glaringly obvious its extremely dangerous.

It is so unlikely such a novel, effective, and dangerous virus was created through bats sharing the same cave that it's not even worth considering. Similarly evolved viruses in nature rarely reach global pandemic levels. Even SARS v1 was weak in comparison. This all being said though, by the nature of GoF research, it would be impossible to tell anyway. At least as far as the MSM is concerned.

The only question now, I think, is malevolence. It's more likely a researcher was infected in the sub-par lab in Wuhan and brought it home than it is to be any of the cover stories given in the beginning: pangolin soup, BBQ bats, or what have you. I doubt the leak was malicious. I am certain the leak was from the lab. Finally, this isn't a new occurrence. This has happened several times here in the US and thankfully it was caught it time to stop it because we don't have a population density near what China has and the standard we hold our labs to makes carelessness with such research extremely hard to do.
It's unconscious people all the way down.
On the sending side, there are two catches: you need to know which gateway to connect to (which in turn generally costs money), and your messages look even sketchier than "normal" short-number SMSes.

On the receiving side: there isn't any real delivery guarantee for SMS/MMS gateways. You're basically depending on a mostly forgotten and probably neglected service (and probably physical server) at each carrier to receive potentially important information.

Edit: You can also get around the gateway identification problem by spamming every gateway with your message. That worked pretty well when I tried it last (around 5 years ago). But I wouldn't be surprised if continually doing that earns you a hellban from every carrier.
What does HN think of web scraping for the purpose of price comparison?

I’m asking this because I run a small side project to show prices across retailers for a very small niche. The users are very very happy. Even the vendors started contacting to be listed on the comparison.

But I am unable to make a business out of it other than few affiliate commission.

> Apple can put however many constraints it wants on external app stores.

I doubt you mean that. All apps must be served from server farms in the Oort Cloud and be in Esperanto would be acceptable constraints?

But it's actually not a false dichotomy. Things I want are vendors who make iOS apps forced to use other parts of the Apple ecosystem. Forced to use Safari. Forced to offer Apple Single Sign On (if they use anyone's). Forced to offer Apple's payment methods. Those are the very things they are trying to get out of by having alternate app stores.

This is only the new normal in the echo-chamber of the wanna-be believers of the net. No significant investor (i.e. Institutional money) is going to go along with this.
Most databases have some kind of special support for XML and/or JSON these days. And sometimes you just need to associate structured hierarchical data with each record without knowing the precise schema in advance. If it's non-hierarchical, you can always use a separate key/value table; but tree queries are not exactly convenient (or fast) in SQL.
IMHO the appropriate focus there is that whatever argument you can make in the form that "criminals should get a standard of life of at least X" would also imply that non-criminals also should get at least the same standard of life. Prisoners do deserve all kinds of things, but to be fair, everyone else does as well. And if you assert that a certain thing should be provided for criminals but you already have a non-trivial underclass who can't afford these things and have no plans to provide those things to the non-criminals, then it is a reasonable source of frustration for a honest poor individual who is being denied that opportunity - why is society abandoning them and is literally treating them worse than criminals, if they have done nothing wrong?

And it acts as an anti-deterrent if someone sees that they would improve their material conditions by doing harmful things and going to prison. There's nothing wrong with ensuring good prison conditions, but it has to go hand in hand with ensuring equally good non-prison conditions for poor people.
There comes a point where the money just isn't a motivating factor anymore, and companies are struggling to figure out how to work in that environment. This bit from the author hits the nail on the head:

>Is an extra $10k per year worth learning a new org, a new skillset, a new set of expectations, a new set of coworkers, and a new boss?

For many engineers, the answer is: “No.”

Yes I could quit and get a ~20k raise by shopping my resume around, but I don't need the money. I have enough for a down payment on a house, I meet my expenses for the month with 1/2 of one paycheck, I can buy a new car on a credit card if I wanted to. More money would be _nice_, and I imagine I'd be singing a slightly different song if I had kids, but it's much less important than knowing the work that I do has meaning and an immediate impact on the world, and about as important as working with new/interesting technology. I imagine there are a lot of early career (26-30 year old) software engineers who are in a similar boat. If money was a motivator I'd be serially founding companies and striving to be The Next Big Thing. I'm just not. I'm happy being hire number 13, or 99, and working with people I like doing work I find value in.

My point is that you don’t own a stock until you buy it. So you can restrict the ability to buy a stock without impacting the someone’s ownership rights.

It does sound unlikely that neuralink actually accomplishes anything impressive, but I don't think it's a joke to try and maybe it will be a step towards something that does succeed.

It's at least relevant because it has a history of being used in large volumes with humans without killing them. It's more than just "Sheep dip" which is the propaganda talking point.
Which limitations of C++, sorry?
Very roughly I think you are saying that it is unclear whether rationalists are thinking differently, or whether the think in the same fashion and just think that they think differently?

I suspect their are elements of both: I believe some members of the rationality community do routinely think in a different way to many other people, but I also believe that there is some post hoc rationalisation (as you put it) in the community as well.
A related thing of Git settings: if you ever want to start a line with #, change core.commentchar to something else. I use a semicolon. (`git config --global core.commentchar \;`)

Also your text editor may be able to help with things like 50 and 72. Vim’s gitcommit syntax and ftplugin files, for example, highlight the first 50 characters of the first line differently and set textwidth to 72, so that if 'formatoptions' includes t it’ll auto-wrap as you type, and you can use the likes of gqap to rewrap a paragraph. (If you change commentchar, you’ll want to copy and change those files to match. Hmm, should contribute a patch to make it configurable with a variable. Probably won’t get to it, though.)
Seems to work just like their car service then. Driver accepts the ride, sits there for 10 minutes, and then texts you asking you to cancel (they think I don't know it hurts their stats if they're the one to cancel).
That's right. It happened a long time ago but it made me quite wary of using LinkedIn.

I've had exactly the same experience with Duracell - batteries leaking years before their expiration date (sometimes shortly after purchase). I never buy Duracell anymore.
Sounds like a pain. No.
I think the article begins to touch on it with autonomy and doing cool stuff, but one thing I believe should be called out is that engineers really like to learn new stuff. If you’re the type of business that has a use case for new technologies, talk to prospective hires about their interest in that area - it may be something they have been meaning to try for a while. If your company isn’t exactly on the cutting edge or even relatively adventurous, you probably need to make sure you mention your training and conference budget. Any place that doesn’t value me enough to let me go learn something new once a year is at a disadvantage in the hiring cycle.
I'm not sure whether it's universally supported, but AT&T at the least actually does support responses. I can text any email address from iMessage and receive an email via SMTP from 1234567890@mms.att.net, and responding to that email also delivers correctly (and is even threaded).

Edit: One funny thing is that iMessage will detect gateway traffic from/to email addresses that are tied to iMessage accounts, and put those into a "blue bubble" chat instead of the normal SMS/MMS "green bubble" chat.

Ask HN: Categorizing similar low-frequency audio events?
I have a project that I'm trying to gauge feasibility on. I need to discern between very similar sounds that are all around the same frequency range (40hz-250hz).

Currently I'm using a pair of wired Apple earphones and to record the sounds, and visually inspecting a waterfall spectrogram to find differences.

Perhaps obviously, I'm not having much luck visually analysing it. I don't want learn the ins and outs of machine learning and signal analysis only to find that there isn't enough variability in the sounds.

Is there any simple way I can determine if these sounds can be meaningfully categorised?
You can reply to these messages and it goes back to the email that sent them. At least on my carrier.

> Correction, October 25, 9:50 am: A previous version of this story stated that SARS-CoV-2 had been definitively proven not to be a bioengineered virus. While an August 2021 US intelligence report concluded, “Most agencies … assess with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 probably was not genetically engineered,” and many scientists agree with that assessment, it was an overstatement to claim that the theory has been definitively ruled out. The introduction and conclusion of the story have been updated to reflect this lower level of certainty. (h/t to Alina Chan, biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, for her critique and input)

So yes, your claim is false.
Is everyone else really in agreement over this color scheme/redesign? I can't fully empathize but I can see how a truly hideous color (subjective of course) could bother me quite a bit.

Other post already mentioned this but is there some leeway here? (e.g. if it's bright pink can you work with the folks involved in this process to make it slightly more subdued, for instance). And what is the hex code(s)? I'd imagine the color scheme would have to be extremely hideous for it to be this trigger to me, personally.
I used to use a very cheap NAT VPS as an OpenVPN server but after it got terminated I found CyberGhost. It is a lot more flexible and usable across multiple devices with the downside of not being able to open incoming ports.
