It's in German but this is a place for nerds to talk about home automation and lighting. By this I don't mean just getting an Alexa and calling it a day, actually automating your home using professional equipment like that used in commercial buildings.

One of the big topics I'm following right now discusses a Chinese lighting manufacturer who makes high CRI tuneable white lights (think a professional version of Philips Hue), and the forum members have banded together to get a set (min order 1000 pieces) of custom lights made.
Yes, but compare that with the two-thirds TV content that is empty.

If the commercials were of better quality (script, directing and so on), the problem would solve itself.

What makes you sceptical?
Words represent ideas. Fewer words is good evidence that there are fewer ideas.

Sometimes multiple words represent the same idea, so in that case homogenization is "good". It is also possible that multiple ideas are represented by the same word, but that is "bad" in an academic context because it leads to ambiguity. Therefore fewer unique words IS actually good evidence that the idea space is decreasing, unless you are saying academic literature is becoming more and more ambiguous.
Valve already decreased it cut for highest-grossing titles to 25% (after $10 million in sales) or 20% (after $50 million in sales).

And fortunately for Valve even 3 years after release Epic Games Store don't even have half of Steam features. Also Epic is so consumer-hostile (or as they call it pro-developer) that they won't ever implement player-reviews into their system.

So it's not that hard for Valve for keep their mindshare. Far larger danger for them is Microsoft with it's Xbox game subscription model and unlimited amount of money.
That’s correct, waiting for a push + acknowledgement would be too long which is why it just automatically does it.

I did the push so I’d be able to track unexpected usage and there wasn’t a single one the entire time.

You tried living next to a wind turbine? I guess it beats living next to coal plant but both are pretty horrible. Go rent an Airbnb next to a windturbine for a week and see how your concerns are; we accidentally did this (they didn’t advertise this little tidbit) and it was absolutely amazing how much noise that thing made; it was over a kilometer away but up on a ridge and when the wind was in the direction of the bnb it was impossible to do much of anything. Probably some of it you will get used to, but should you have to? Your house dropped significantly in value in the best case and in the worst case you will have very little sleep and health issues from it.

The answer is; put these on platforms in the sea (see here the dutch projects [0]; countries like Portugal would seem perfect for this; biggest cities are on the sea, the country is thin and has sea the entire stretch and yet they throw this stuff next to nature parks in the mountains and Greece… these are islands we are talking about…) and put solar on desert/farmland. Or buy out people who live in the blast radius but I like the other options better.

Yeah, the URL should probably be changed to the Post article: https://nypost.com/2022/02/10/elon-musks-neuralink-allegedly... (which was posted here a couple of times: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30293937 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30305100)
That's going in the opposite direction with respect to where you would like food prices to be. It's the same final outcome you're concerned with about foreign production. Food is a bare necessity for a country's people and you want those prices as low as possible. Most places make a sales tax exception on groceries for this reason. People will allow dictators to seize power if it means they don't starve. But the same direction applies in less extreme situations. With US inflation already at 7.5%, good luck stopping food subsidies, adding food taxes (tariffs), and seeing food prices lurch another 30%. Current politicians would be voted out in a flash.
Irrespective of one's feelings about Elon himself, SpaceX is pretty special, and few people who know about this sector would disagree.

They've revolutionised launching things (now including humans) into space through building cheaper rockets and then pioneering landable and reusable rockets. They've done this for a relatively low cost and pretty quickly, vs. their competitors who spend more money and time doing less impressive things. They've probably reduced the cost to orbit per kg by ~10x.

Regarding spending (and as with Tesla) don't confuse the cost of ongoing R&D with general running costs. Their launch business with Falcon 9/Heavy is profitable; but the R&D to get to where they are (with those reusable landing rockets, engine improvements, Dragon, Crew Dragon, drone ships, etc.) cost a lot. And they're now spending even more to develop Starship and a new generation of engines (Raptor) which will probably drop the cost to orbit by at least another order of magnitude.
You are mostly right, but do keep in mind that enabling capital flight is a _good_ thing! Just like helping people to leave bad places is a good thing.

The risk of capital flight puts a limit on how bad the local regime can screw up the economy and still squeeze money out of it.

(And calling it capital flight is just a mean way of saying 'people want to invest elsewhere'.)
not sure why you were downvoted, even though SEPA offers a terrible UX in my opinion, and in no way close to using cards. (both for the merchant and payer in my limited experience).
I don’t think so.

They are just implanting stuff into you.

There are already working implants, like pacemakers, this is just more complicated.

They have to figure out how to do it without causing too much side effects.

Sounds like they are making SHA256 ASIC specifically for Bitcoin mining and comparing its performance to GPUs, while no one uses GPUs for Bitcoin mining anymore.
The comment isn't blaming communism though. There's a meme that goes like "In the world, <completely normal thing>, In Soviet Russia, <the opposite of it>". So here it would go, "In the world, you watch the TV. In Soviet Russia, the TV watches you." Except that it wouldn't just be in Soviet Russia.

You also need to continue testing for HIV because it is easy to take prep wrong and miss tablets.
My biggest problem with OpenBSD is the partitioning, do i want security? Then i need partitions with w^x but how big should they be without wasting to much space. I think OpenBSD would greatly benefit from stuff like zfs-filesystems or btrfs sub-partitions...and NO i don't say OpenBSD needs ZFS, just a more flexible partition mechanism, maybe overlay with quota or something?
> It reads as if you expose the article to make a wrong statement about incident rates.

No? But you could read it as "exposing" the fact that it mentions incident rates only vaguely [1], and that the title is chosen strategically. (The article looks seems to be part of a public health campaign to encourage heterosexuals to test for HIV, and that's probably part of the reason.)

There were a couple of comments which raised valid points about my rough estimate though.

[1]: It only says "Gay and bisexual men are still more impacted by HIV relative to population size", but the question of by how much seems to be left an exercise for the reader.
Same here, don't need anything more complex.

>There's no inherent reason to prefer more "natural" solutions to medical issues.

Especially not the natural approaches which are merely anecdotally "proven" for thousands of years.

Certainly all modern drug companies have come so much further in only the last few decades when they have never been so modern. And benevolent too, in a way only they can do. The human brain is so much different now. I love it every time they come up with a miracle pill where you take one and you are cured for life. My first job out of university was at a pharmaceutical manufacturer. It couldn't have been more eye-opening after you see the amazing things going on back there!

Instead of natural approaches, sometimes all you really need are the much more potent and rapidly effective pharmaceuticals which are completely non-toxic and have no possible side effects whatsoever.

Oh wait . . .
I forgot the /s.

Chances SpaceX will get people to Mars in 2026, or ever for that matter, are so close to zero it’s a near-impossibility. Look up the Common Sense Skeptic videos on YouTube to see why the SpaceX Mars plan can’t work as described. (Hint: science)
This point should get more visibility — embeddings are not made in the abstract; they reflect the lexicon of their training sets, and I strongly suspect word embeddings used here reflect the lexicon and word frequencies (and their meaning/usage context) in modern literature. Using them for text in the past (nearly a century back!) warrants some skepticism.
It's amazing that free access to scientific papers is still controversial.
Your point being? Peoplr should stay quiet because God forbid the cost of hiring employees for one of the most profitable companies in the world goes up?

GP here. I use iMessage with an email address, and Signal and other data based messengers and I’ve been doing so since 2014 almost exclusively when I started thinking about using a data plan for my phone service.

As a result my SMS usage is very minimal and VoIP.ms works well for the occasional 2FA code (from dumb banks that both force 2FA and only do it via SMS) or delivery notification SMS. In some cases the 2FA code doesn’t get received and I need to use the number assigned to the SIM. This works but I need to track which services do this so I have a tag in 1Password, just in case I need to change the SIM or provider one day.
The block reward dropping doesn't mean that the value of the block reward drops though, does it? If the value of bitcoin goes up then the value of the block reward can increase even though the amount of bitcoin in the reward decreases.
Sure. Bring on the carbon taxes.
I don't think so. We hold a special place for humans only a small minority elevate any other animals to that special place. I don't see that changing over time. I could be wrong I just doubt we will move in that direction.
A business value niche, not a technical niche. Your clients will most often have no idea what React or PHP or Postgres mean. They will understand cost, risk, opportunity. Domain expertise has a lot more value to a freelancer than technical expertise.

I usually start with clients by asking them to list their top five or ten pain points or unfulfilled needs. Those are usually business problems: Our invoices get sent out late, we’re not calculating shipping charges accurately. Sometimes they are technical problems: server crashes every other day, we don’t have good backups, we failed a security audit. I’ve never heard low-level programming problems as top pain points. The potential client wants to hear that you can address their actual problems. How many years of React experience you have, or how cool you think Rust is, are not relevant.

It's entirely reasonable to ask the question and to ask people to consider what it might mean, and what supports that reading and how likely readers are to interpret it that way.

That is not the issue.

The issue is to then assume that this must have been the intent of the author all along unless they've actually told you.

There's nothing wrong with not knowing with certainty the intent of the author. That does not take anything away from your interpretation. But often people seek to ascribe intent to the author in an attempt to assert authority over what the "true" meaning of a work is.
Tsss. I can do that too. Just not very deep!
They're pretty rare in files from the internet, but normal people don't really regard "files from the internet" and "this attachment of an email" as separate concepts.

In traditional business (like banking, where I have my experience) macros are EXTREMELY common. Both in local files, and in what normal users would consider remote files (from intranet sites and email).
Sounds like you have to read up a lot more on tulips.

Also, strange how such prominent tulip story never resulted in adoption of tulips by any country? So weird, why is that?

And yet with Bitcoin, we see adoption not by one, but by several G-7 countries as a valid payment mechanism, one small country as legal tender, another small country preparing a bill this year, and Russia signalling it will regulate Bitcoin as currency, not property?

Strange, that.
India is an emerging market, it has a better digital transaction system implemented(UPI) than most of the western counterparts with low to zero transaction fees. a vendor on the roadside without a roof over his head or access to a cellphone can sell services or do digital transactions. Visa and MasterCard duopoly is almost at the verge of being replaced and all this has nothing to do with Blockchain or crypto currencies.
I bet this specific example will be tricky, invasions/incursions now a days seem to be usually denied by the aggressor in various ways, i.e. there might actually be a debate, 'Has Russia actually invaded Ukraine yet?'

> But it is table stakes for even beginning to appreciate literature or understand how stories (even blockbuster film scripts!) are typically assembled.

There are two different things here: It certainly is table stakes for understanding why and how works function for the reader. As such it matters for writers who want to achieve a certain effect.

Then there's the question of the intent of the author, and that is an entirely different question.

The first you can determine, the latter you can only speculate about unless the author has flat out told you.

But very often an investigation into the former is presented as an investigation into the latter, and turned from a reasonable objective and supportable process into little more than speculative fiction.
small people invest money in hopes of being less poor. They never get truly wealthy doing that.

I love (and loved) Core War.

I was maybe 12 or 13 in the late 80s, born and living in a tiny town in central Italy (Assisi), in love with technology and programming, also thanks to an older brother and his Commodore64.

One of his friend, ~10 years older than me, was studying CS in Pisa (one of the best CS universities in Europe, at least back then), but was frequently back home, and I used to visit him and play some videogames with him on his 386 or 486.

At some point he introduced me to Core War. I was instantly hooked, and we started writing "viruses" (that's how we called the programs) and then run tournament to see which one would perform best. I loved programming these things, and the intellectual challenge associated with it.

I am forever thankful to the creators of Core War. I ended up studying CS, moving abroad to work at AWS as a Technology Evangelist (first employee in Europe, back in 2008), and eventually having a rather successful career in IT. Core War deserves part of the gratefulness for all I had in life. BTW, this is the story of how I found my job at Amazon [0].

Trolley problem. I wish most Neuralink detractors would even attempt to understand the problem scope, trade-off, and everything that's at stake here in our lifetimes. "Elon Musk wants more $" is such a brain-dead take.

The reasoning behind Neuralink is explained here: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html#part4

TL;DR Some of the smartest people in the world consider AGI an existential threat and Neuralink is the leading hedge that instead of competing against AGI in futility, we augment ourselves to become the AGI instead.

You forgot about politics.

From the same article:

> Sanders took this information to General Douglas MacArthur, who was the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers responsible for rebuilding Japan during the Allied occupations. MacArthur struck a deal with Japanese informants: He secretly granted immunity to the physicians of Unit 731, including their leader, in exchange for providing America, but not the other wartime allies, with their research on biological warfare and data from human experimentation.

Reminds me of present-day Yemen. How many are disgusted by that genocide now, the same way future generations will be by Unit 731?

The "right" political deals were struck.

Unironically: The way to find a doctor as a trans person is to ask on Twitter.

Yes, I understand that perspective. I'm uninterested in whatever latest hype projects are sucking up money from get-rich-quick investors and it's unfortunate that the general understanding of what cryptocurrencies are has shifted, because that's how you end up with FUD articles that don't differentiate between Bitcoin and other projects.

But ultimately, alt projects don't affect the Bitcoin technology and centralized platforms don't affect anyone's ability to self-custody.
