"Bushido" isn't archaic because it's used as a cultural-philosophical McGuffin theme in mainstream, modern ('00-present) movies.

"Carl" and "fie" are archaic.

Without adjusting for cost of living this kind of analysis is going to get heavily skewed in favor of the language du jour favored in select tech areas where the cost of living, and average income for almost everyone, is drastically higher. Additionally, many of those same cutting-edge technologies are not going to be represented in many lower cost-of-living areas, where there are still lots of opportunities using more mature technologies (think C# for business applications, or C for industrial applications). This will pull the averages down for those mature technologies, even though they represent incomes that may actually be higher relative to the cost of living.
Does deuterium-tritium ("D-T") fusion really have a future?

Net energy output is one thing but neutrons are the big problem. The two issues are energy loss and destruction of the container (aka neutron embrittlement). I see ITER plans to handle this with basically a large, thick absorption layer (steel and water). CFS OTOH is looking at molten salt solutions.

But these solutions seem to be aimed at the embrittlement issue and not really the energy loss issue.
"Revealed"? I'm sorry?

The only person who can display "genuine curiosity" over the nth dimwit making the same set of already thoroughly debunked claims for the hundredth time - claims that get repeated, only infinitesimally changed, over timeframes measured in years to decades - is someone who suffers from heavy memory problems.

Engaging with them is frankly pointless: even if they are willing and able to learn - which is a big if - there's always another person around the corner ready to take their place, and argue the inarguable. Oh, sure, there are probably a lot of people, at any point of time, who are willing to engage with them in good faith, but bullshit is fundamentally asymmetric: they do get tired of it.

At that point, the only real solution is to either stop engaging - and let them appear unopposed, while other people burn themselves out in an effort to bring them the light - try to shut them down, or - in loosely moderated places - deploy mockery and use them as a teaching tool: people who think themselves rational do not, as a rule, want to be associated - even in their own minds - with people who are absolutely foaming at the mouth to spew easily-debunked bullshit, and who get ridiculed as a result. Most of these bad actors do not possess a lot of self-control, and are easily riled up, or otherwise convinced to go mask off in a way that makes them unpalatable to the general population - say, by simply asking them to discuss their beliefs further - which makes this method very effective in limiting the spread of their memes.

TL;DR: "revealed"? I'm sorry?
Can someone ELI5 for people that don't follow fusion tech closely? In particular does this mean we're going to have fusion soon?
The name is pronounced something like "gouse", and the blur is fairly commonly pronounced "goss-ian".
This is the ONLY way we'll get out of our current situation. Unfortunately I think it might be a decade too late as we're still about 10 years from viability.
No idea. But it would be absolutely awesome if we had another age of airships.

Ah, for sure.

In that case, I recommend the DJI Mini2 if you’re going with new. If you want to save a few bucks, the DJI Mavic Mini “Fly More kit” can be had for ~$300 used. It includes three batteries, a charging bank, and everything you need except a cellphone to use for a screen.

I took this with a Mavic Mini when I was just getting started with it: https://youtu.be/-uZYxg8FmY8
I read Paul Allen’s biography. There it seemed Gates could be (quite) a bit of a jerk. However, this thing about shares isn’t mentioned.

And was Gates removed from the board of Microsoft? Where did you get that information?
That’s not a nitpick. That’s redefining the way we talk about nations. It’s already clear from context he’s not talking about “all Chinese people.”

“China to enter talks with the United States about social media” would not mean all Chinese people will talk to all Americans. This is true whether the content is positive, negative, or neutral.
> On a cultural level, we’ve decided that if a therapy is run with a shaman using a completely chemically-uninterpretable drug cocktail: totally a-okay. But if it’s run with a synthetic pure compound of known quantity: immediate banishment.

This goes deeper. For example, the stimulant-antidepressant herbal brew known as coffee is a staple at offices, but someone taking caffeine pills is seen as a drug addict, even though they are the one who knows what they are taking and how much.

Similarly, tobacco smoking, even if disliked, is more acceptable than vaporizing nicotine liquid, even though vapers know what they are taking (pure nicotine) and how much - commercial tobacco smoke contains hundreds of psychoactive substances in addition to nicotine.

BUT, for some reason, natural cannabis is looked down upon, and extracts and synthetic compounds are somehow considered more a-okay.
Each studio has their own (usually crappy) tools. Sometimes it's just spreadsheets.

One thing I hear Netflix is doing right now is focusing on making better studio tools so that creatives prefer to work for Netflix because they have better tools.
They're called "family" movies and not "children's" movies for a reason. Kids are usually watching these with their parents, and when they're done well, every age group gets something out of them.

Frozen, Up, and many others accomplish it well. I personally found Encanto completely boring.
If Tesla said “working as designed”, then that would definitively confirm that it’s not a bug. Apple has said “working as designed, not a bug” about the most common feature requests (such as “uBlock support” and all the underlying capabilities to deliver that), leaving no uncertainty about them. So I do appreciate your point in the generic “any” case, certainly, but that uncertainty can easily be voided in specific cases — yet we’re ignoring that when it occurs. (I assume this is because framing feature requests as bugs is a common persuasion tactic, as any software maintainer would confirm, but I don’t have any certainty on that view yet.)

I get that it didn’t work in your particular field and that obviously that’s what matters the most to you, but I would suggest reading up on its wider applications before dismissing the whole technology. Entire classes of products suddenly being possible is not just a “cool feature”.

FYI, deep learning isn’t a differentiating feature for the Alexa, it powers essentially all modern voice applications.

I think this should be included if there is non-zero risk that any foreign party other than maker of the app can read the data. That is if there is theoretical risk of it leaking or the encryption being used being broken by any party.
My first question would be: What happens when your entire Google cloud infrastructure gets shutdown because of the all-too-common algorithmic account kill switch if you make a mistake in your advertising account or somewhere else in the Google ecosystem. Anyone in your organization using Google services can trigger an account shutdown.

We continue to see posts on HN form people who are desperate because they got hit by the no-recourse kill switch. And this is from people who know of HN and are lucky enough to post and sometimes get some help. The number of people who's accounts are shut down with no recourse that nobody hears from is likely very large.

After seeing friends go through this many years ago (about ten or so) I decided never to trust Google with anything I deemed critical. I think I only use them for search, and that's it.

We recently had to choose an email provider. Some suggested Gmail for business. The first thought that came to mind is the absolute lack of what I call "business manners" or "business ethics" Google exhibit. We took our business to Zoho mail. So far the experience has been excellent. The one thing I know is that Zoho values our business and we are not going to get shutdown on any given Monday at 2 PM for some bullshit reason and without any hope of customer service.

> normally I’d push all rate limiting to Redis. Here, we rate limit in memory and assume roughly uniform distribution between server nodes.

Dumb question: what do they mean by rate limiting in memory vs via Redis? Does that mean keeping track of request origins+counts using those storage mechanisms, or something else?
If the google crawler actually respected robots.txt your point might be salient.
Bill Gates is my poster child for "Do the ends justify the means?" I know people who were absolutely robbed by MCSFT and their business practices in the 90's. I'm glad he's using his wealth for good, but that doesn't change how he got the money.
Shame you can't hint who it is
It seems like you are describing someone who would work well in jobs that position them as the underdog. Especially since we can say that you just stood up in the company of a bunch of productive, competitive people and directly said, "I'm so not you." (Let's not look past the fact that this can be seen in some ways as a competitive, challenging stance.)

So the fact that you can own this perspective in that way may say something about your resilience in subjectivity. Your ability to say "here's my thing, here's how I understand myself," combined with the conclusion, "let's say I don't change that. So what?"

For the sake of reasonable contingency--just in case the opposites, all that grand stuff you _don't do_, starts to form into a cognitive blind spot later on, I'd probably start to objectively define those opposite things you are setting up against, ASAP. What is excellence really, what do people really expect of a non-boring person, and so on. This needs to be objectively outlined so it doesn't compromise your ability to keep an open mind if life change is ever really needed.

On your question of uplifting yourself: I'd start with what you're showing you're good at right here--explaining your position gently, and seeing what other people offer in response. You will definitely be able to learn a lot of new perspectives that way.

Eventually some of those positions can probably turn into experiments you can conduct, to find whether there are new paths worth exploring, or whether you already perceived them all. :-) You could document this, train others on it, use the experience for all kinds of advancement purposes toward uplifting yourself.

Regardless, life is effort, career activity is effort--you'll be putting in some long-term effort anyway, so I think your circumspect analysis of such effort in this way is laudable and worthwhile.

Good luck in wherever your path takes you.

P.S. In regard to underdog paths, I'd look for underdog companies with counter-philosophies. Start with the extremes, heck even anti-work if you need to. It will be really important to find some grounding for your conceptual position and it's key to ground it where it connects well for starters. That will lend your efforts authenticity, which is key to seeing your thought position and experiments roll out in full effect.
The choice is ideological, not practical. I like hosting all my services all from one box at my home.
Ask HN: Why does Apple upgrade their computers to OS's they know won't work?
This must be the third time now that a friend has messaged me saying "the computer says 20 minutes remaining and it's said that for hours straight".

Look it up, and sure enough that laptop won't run the OS version Apple is trying to automatically update their computer to.

Surely Apple must be able to tell that hardware that they created cannot run an OS that they created?

How is there not a class action lawsuit over this practice yet?
I'm still not seeing what you're talking about. The Darth Vader head and the Infinity Gauntlet, for example, are both built out of standard pieces. Sure, it's a limited color palette, but it still wouldn't be hard to repurpose either to use for parts of a spaceship or themed building or whatever. Even on the page you linked, the only really specialized parts on display are the spiderwebs, the Gargantos tentacles, and the Venom teeth; everything else is ordinary brick-built stuff, including the large robots/mechs, which are built on a Technic frame rather than any specialized parts.
Love that story. Makes me think playing Codenames in German, where all kinds of words are made by mashing other words together, would be a great advantage over playing in English.
This is a commercial product so it's not _quite_ what you asked for, but the production volume is pretty low (100s) and the implementation is literally an FPGA dev board mounted to the back of the interface panel.

https://intellijel.com/shop/eurorack/cylonix-rainmaker/

In this module, the FPGA's ability to do LOTS of computations in parallel is used to produce 16 taps of pitch-shiftable delay along with a 64-tap comb filter.

Same here, but I’m also surprised only around 30% of women know the word “yakuza”. Although I’m sure those same women would be shocked by my not knowing what a chignon is.
For one team? at one org who didn’t keep their stuff up-to-date regarding one project.

A collection of tickets such as this one plus some analysis? Could be interesting. But this is just noise.

Edit: To be interesting, that analysis would have to compare with other kinds of breaking changes that happen in software constantly.
Well, when I wrote that I was just inferring it from the article, which while it doesn't explicitly say that they are, is written in a way so as to clearly suggest that they are. But you're right that it doesn't eplicitly say that, now that I look again. But if you click on the link to the actual paper, it says right in the abstract that they're Borel, so yes, they are indeed measurable.
Well, double down on tax stuff all you want, I replied fairly to your biased views.

Your answer makes me think you're missing the forest for the trees if you still refuse to see the reduction in paperwork and the gains from automating/internalizing some stuff that most companies can't do (Microsoft can mint gamepass, what about you?)
Worth mentioning though is that they didn't invent Common Core Standards; they support it. Common Core was also preceded by No Child Left Behind, which shifted emphasis in education in a similar war.

All that is to say that the issue didn't originate with the Gates Foundation. It goes much deeper and is arguably a broad societal issue. No one agrees on how teaching should be done, there's insufficient coordination, people doing the work lack resources and incentive, and kids suffer a lot as a result.
I don't think calling out the far end of the postgres scaling story is controversial. On the low end, you can add more hardware or improve queries/indexes, and the mid level works fine with a write master and read replicas, but once you get into multi-master/sharding it's definitely more involved than other systems, and if you just use postgres as a dumb data dump, maybe the value isn't there. It's all about the right tool for the job.

Of course, there will always be fanboys who take things too far.
I'll take 53 days. The stress and frustration of having to use an electric or induction stove every day would take a far greater toll.
I suspect by “knowing the word” the implication is “familiar with/have encountered”, vs “being able to define correctly”.
operationally, makes sense. but the inevitable moment (if you survive) you need to migrate to smth else depending on a different queue system, it'll be a pain to retrofit the code relying on db-level transactions and locks.

Out of interest what’s the architecture you have gone with for key rotation and storage, and where the encrypted passwords are stored. (Understand that as an very early stage startup you probably haven’t optimised all this yet)

I know some other services that have had to go this route have used quite elaborate systems to ensure separation between keys, passwords and user details in the event of a hack.
Unfortunately this github case is just one example among many others and it only seems to amplify toward complete insanity. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1491433294935867397

If this kind of stuff interests you, there is a good documentary on Disney+ about the making of Frozen 2. They filmed the documentary from the beginning of the process to the end with the intention of making a deeply detailed doc. The directors had a lot of access.

It's really interesting and I recommend it (but also make sure you watch Frozen 2 before you watch it if you aren't already familiar because it's more interesting if you can recall the scenes they are talking about).

I use iNav for my wings, but just don’t have the urge to deal with it in FPV quads. Between the added weight of the GPS module, the limited options for flight controllers that support iNav and have an onboard barometer, and the overall lack of focus in iNav for that sort of use case I just find Betaflight to be a better fit.
If you're into tinkering, then anything that has good-enough specs and has great openWRT support is a safe bet. Personally I use a TP-Link Archer C7 v5, but there might be better options out there by now.

I don't think we will remain as is but I also don't think we will never leave the solar system. Everyone seems to miss the next great technological advance that's currently under way. Biology as a practical science is still in its infancy. We haven't yet learned to fully control the cell and its many forms and functions but I don't doubt that we will given enough time. Once we do, there is no reason we could not adapt fully to space travel.
Apps used to open in the background in macOS. Also OS dialogs would not steal focus iirc, or maybe those modal dialogs dood not exist. Not stealing focus used to be one of the top rules in the Apple human interface guidelines.

I’m really not sure what happened.
I think the root cause is that society no longer needs "beta" males. Or rather, men in the middle of the distribution. This here is a symptom of that broad effect in society. Technical leverage, automation, premium on intelligence in the workplace, and technology more broadly are pushing out average men.
Possible unpopular opinion, but my wife and I want just one kid, and would greatly, greatly, prefer a daughter for reasons that include some mentioned in this article.

Not really. I do it because a lot of readers like looking at past threads and because I think it's good to reflect the community accurately to itself—in this case, to point out how rich the archives are.
That's not how this works as a rational investment choice.

It's true that you can never win a lottery you don't enter, but the expected value of that ticket is vastly lower than what you paid for it. That means, as an investment, your $10 will be expected to do better in literally anything with a positive return.

If you are buying > $10 worth of dreaming (for you), fine - but that's consumption.

The Twitter API has very low rate limits (from a data collection perspective). While there may be good reasons for that, these limits also preclude doing public interest research of the type we were doing (how Twitter's various search filters influence the political leanings of search results). When companies have Twitter's level of societal influence, I think it's also possible to define "legitimate use" in terms of public interest, rather than simply "users" or "site owners."
This happened to me last year. They fired most of the management staff and replaced them with half as many soulless middle managers. Office hours were cut down to the bare minimum and they started cheaping out on maintenance throughout the complex.

The "solution" that I found was to move into a highrise with ludicrously high profit margins. At that point, the incentives flip back over, because property managers are afraid of killing the golden goose. Sure... tripling my rent isn't exactly the smartest decision that I've ever made, but it sure as hell solved the problem!
OP here. Yeah... throwaway interviews are a way to do it. The nice thing about interviewing.io is that you don't have to deal with all the recruiter stuff and scheduling and getting in their process in the first place. You just book practice whenever you want it. AND you actually get interview feedback (with specific actionable things you need to work on... way beyond just pass/fail).

Today's the launch day for Manifold Markets, you can read our announcement here: https://manifoldmarkets.substack.com/p/above-the-fold-manifo...

We've been working for the past two months to make the easiest-to-use prediction markets! We want to make creating and trading in prediction markets as frictionless as using Twitter polls.

It's been a very exciting and fulfilling project to work on given the dedicated fans of prediction markets that have already joined our community.

Happy to hear any feedback you have on our site!
>>Median wages for men have declined since 1990 in real terms. Roughly one-third of men are either unemployed or out of the workforce.

I wonder how much of this is because more women are joining the workforce. If men are leaving the workforce by their own free will because their wife is working and they are staying home with the kids, both of these facts could be true, but seems like a win in both gender equality terms and allowing men to have the life they want. This seems better then having two working parents.

I don't really like how "out of the workforce" is coupled with unemployed. "out of the workforce" implies they don't have to and don't want to work, as opposed to unemployed
This is so depressing and it is only getting worse.
The only purpose of my comment was to provide context for the numbers in the article via a thought experiment involving doubling.

Since the calculation involves taking log_2, even if the estimate for the "used power" is off by a factor of 4 the result will only change by 50 years.

Can you make your qualitative comment quantitative and update the numbers in my doubling thought experiment?

I would be curious about what you think is more realistic.
The difference is that there is far more wasted energy when using electric stoves vs a gas stove.

There are more carbon emissions from electric appliances over gas appliances because of the losses (entropy, etc) at each step.
