I wouldn't call it the same concept. Zephyr uses the Devicetree format to create headers and configure the compilation of the kernel, but userspace code has zero visibility into whatever was set up in the devicetree file.

Zephyr is chock full of these creature comforts to make Linux developers feel at home but only deliver 50% of the usability. I went back to FreeRTOS.

Gah! Thanks.
Interesting. This is something that I hoped someone would do. However, I think that for Benford's law to be meaningful, you probably need to be looking at the finest-grain stats that are available, not just the top-line national numbers.

For instance, to give the U.S. as an example, the national numbers are a sum of state numbers (plus territories), which are themselves in most cases probably a sum of numbers from counties, which are perhaps sums from individual hospitals.

For Benford's law to work well I think you have to be looking at the same level where the fake numbers were created. If you add up a whole lot of fake numbers or a combination of real and fake numbers, the frequency distribution of the most significant digit of the total will probably end up being about the same as real data. For example, if fake numbers were being generated at the state level in four states, and at the county level in 30 different counties, and at 20 hospitals, then the national numbers would probably still look fine.

If we don't know whether fake data might be injected at the national, state, or county level or from individual hospitals then we'd have to check all of them. And if the data at the granularity we need to be looking at just isn't available then we probably won't be able to detect it just by applying Benford's law.
I can compare with what I have seen in Colombia and living expenses are very cheap in Medellin for example.

Rent: $450 USD a month for a little "studio" in a good location
Airport taxi: $20 USD (one hour ride).

“They” may not because “they” will be dead.

The 30 and younger crowd have stuck to their non-religous, progressiveness. Polls over the last decade have suggested progressivism had become even more entrenched in that crowd.

If there’s a future rightward lean it would be after a leftward drift.

I agree that conservatives are starting to see progressives were arguing for what the conservatives wanted. I scrape comments from Reddit and have quantified there are more posts of the “our side has advocated against our own positions in deference to politicians.”. They want to be left to socially manage their local life, which rubs up against that whole social democracy thing. While the politicians want to extract as much profit off our agency for as little real work of their own as possible, “both sides” on main street want their agency for their neighborhood.

The TV addicted pudding brains are dying off. The younger generation was weened on distracting multimedia, they have an intuition for where that ends and shared political life begins that the mush mouths dribbling the same old cable news from their lips don’t.

have changed. Still the same physics on the whole but the ideas that captivate are more than just academic glyph sets with cherry picked snippets highlighted in dayglo. Generating never ending statistical objects is not learning which are most probable. Humanity is still figuring that out.

We can’t allow for sentences like “kill all X for Y reason” or “let chainsaw wielding nut run lose” for obvious reasons. But there are more sentences we can allow people to believe are true besides the ones that essentially translate to “grow business.”

It’s all very “build and tend your flock” in real habit anyway. That doesn’t sit well with the non-Church going crowd

If you call someone disingenuous, then yeah, you're being offensive. But if you call the idea disingenuous, then it's much less offensive. If you phrase it like, "isn't that a little disingenuous?" it's even less offensive yet (I think "isn't that a lie" would come off a fair bit more offensive). Using "disingenuous" and words like it, I've had a lot of success finding common ground or at least identifying the locus of disagreement.

But of course someone who is set on causing offense can probably manage with any word.

Really good reasons NOT to start your own business. Smart person :).
I don't really see how that applies to a well documented history of voter suppression?

Yes, in theory, you could have a color blind system and some random change could have a negative impact on some group randomly.

That's not what happened in reality though.

"In theory, I might not have killed him" isn't a great argument for someone found standing over a body with a knife, you're generally looking for something a bit more concrete.

Someone standing on top of a giant pile of bodies and saying "As I've said for decades, I theoretically might not have killed them" is even less convincing.
This could work, I think, but you'd introduce a lot of complications and costs. Comparable to the decision to use exceptions (and some kind of try/catch) versus error propagation. Every single caller between the handler and condition site has to be able to handle both the happy path (got a result) and unhappy path (got a condition).

Another issue is just in performance. In an error or try/catch system you unwind the stack along the way. In a condition system, you don't. If you insisted on manually passing them up until you find a handler (or not, in which case it may become an effective noop), you have to touch all of that "is it a condition or result" logic all the way up, and then resume all the way back down, and then return to the top of a loop because you could get another condition. So you'd end up writing something more like this:

do {
result = call(...);
if is_condition(result) {
// possibly handle it or re-yield
switch(result) {
log: ...
other_condition: ...
default: yield result;
}
}
} while(is_condition(result));

It should work, but it seems like it would be unpleasant to work with. With a condition system, you may implement it in a way that forces this kind of costly search through the call stack, or you could register the handlers and avoid this costly backtrack and resume operation.

> For Americans, why does Vietnam spark ideas of an up and coming fantasy land

It doesn't?

I've known a few people who've traveled there and I don't recall any of them ever saying they wanted to stay forever. However, the idea of it being a "fantasy land" probably has to do with it's climate. Jungle and rain forest (I'm not exactly sure what the distinction here is, if there is one) is not a biome available in the continental US, of which there are relatively few.

I very much doubt rich tourists are suffering the ire of the government in Vietnam while I'm not sure I'd expect as much from China since they are more wealthy.

Given what I said above, I doubt the experience is at all similar from a tourist perspective.

Ask HN: How is Spotify filled with so much spam?
Earlier today I noticed a few songs had been added to a playlist of mine...with a bunch of "songs" by this artist: https://open.spotify.com/artist/68mk8GNhUjTLMw72RCBIvV

With a little exploration you run into an endless supply of bots, all with >1,000,000 active monthly listeners. At first I was pissed someone could not only randomly find my playlist and randomly add songs, but now I'm just wondering how it's possible for a service as able as Spotify to be filled with so much spam? Has anyone else experienced something Similar?
You probably need to enable verbatim results. Click on the Tools button (below the right end of the search bar) and select "Verbatim" instead of "All results".
It’s like a DDoS attack on your mind (distributed because everyone is doing it). The attention span economy at its finest.

>Asians are indisputably higher earners in US than white, on average.

This is true but it is not the factored into the subconscious hierarchy. Globally and locally White people are viewed as the top.

Additionally, you should realize that the average income for asians here is highly skewed by a few top earners.
But still you're here getting only the definition that you want to take and ignoring all the other stuff about wokes fighting for their ideals by trying to censor, ban, fire those who have different ideas, instead of discussing... I already told you that their attention to those things is not the problem but is the attitude no?

Let's say that I am a guy, attentive to social justice, noble. Then I am that same guy who reads about someone trying to talk bad about social justice, I converse with him (good), I start calling him names, want his head, want him banned and alienated (bad)

So this is an invite to go further than the definition and that point that you egregiously understood
Fair. The fact that Google exists + the fact that Google serves a huge amount of traffic + the fact that Google is unable / unwilling to filter out content farms = incentive to content farm.

If there were no Google though, we'd likely have the same thing.

So I guess the only reality that avoids incentivizing them is one where (1) there is a massive traffic generator & (2) that massive traffic generator severely disincentizes content farms.
It's always interesting to read new articles about stoicism. Reading the texts and listening in on discussions, I admit the platform often seems a bit like a one-trick pony to me, maybe even for turning an individual into a martyr for a cause nobody else understands. (Side benefit--I admit such an effort can make one feel like a very special ninja, covert ops warrior, one of a kind, etc.)

In other ways it can also come off like a horse-sense philosophy of "just do it" without the swoosh.

In this case I can see some potentially helpful complements for all of the article's points, from other philosophies and perspectives:

Focus on what you can control... _and_ Learn to be more convincing and persuasive (Stoic integrates Diplomat)

Diminish your ego... _and_ Learn to recognize when over-simplified perspectives are creating an ego effect (Stoic integrates Academic)

Practice resilience... _and_ Develop new means of creative problem-solving (Stoic integrates Inventor)

I don't think that any extreme ideology should be just ignored, but going after websites sounds like a cop-out. It is my opinion that extreme ideologies tend to take hold among people who feel left out, disenfranchised or see no future for them and their families.

The original Nazis were nobodies in the roaring economy of the Weimar Republic. Their support soared when the Great Crisis hit. This is a familiar story; Lenin got to power in Russia after the country was almost destroyed in a senseless war.

Contemporary Germany seems to have the worst neo-Nazi problem in bleak places like Hoyerswerda or Chemnitz, where the local economy doesn't have any good jobs for less qualified youths.

But this is an order of magnitude harder to solve than banning fora online.
Yep, seen Canvas - probably where I Picasso'd (read: stole :^) ) the original idea! The nice thing about making it a PDN plugin based on CLIP is that it could plug into the existing PDN plugin system, PDN is pretty solid image editing software, and also CLIP could make it extremely versatile - no more limitation to primarily landscapes - including the fact that there are newer and vastly better CLIP tools coming out, e.g. diffusion model based CLIP - but I don't think I had actually seen the GauGAN UI before, thank you!

This is a good outline of the major challenges for cultivated meat and one reason why we’ve had difficulty finding investable opportunities in this space.

I do expect plant-hybrid will be necessary and can significantly bring down the cost. Customers are concerned with taste, texture, cost, convenience, and health. Some plant-based alternatives are already challenging taste and cost (we’re an investor in Black Sheep, and I think it tastes better than the animal analog) and cell based hybrids may be able to make additional improvements.

On the need for hormones, we invested in Japanese company, integriculture, because it solves this problem by coculturing organ cells (like liver and pancreas) that product these hormones natively.

As far as go to market, I expect there will be better opportunities with cosmetics where you could sell something for $1,600/lbs while volumes are still low.
If we're talking about construction work in South-East Asia, the same basic principles apply. Limited demand because there really aren't that many foreigners relative to locals (and some of the foreigners don't have more money than the local middle class anyway), and satisfying the foreigners' more exacting standards, weird ideas about construction and insistence on exotic materials needs more skill than most local construction workers possess, and competent English. That means most people in construction are only going to get to work for a wealthy Westerner through a middleman, and that middleman is going to pay them the standard local rates.

Interesting how the majority of the comments are about how HackerNews is less toxic than many other social media outlets, or how OP is simply using it too much.

The truth is HackerNews is much MORE toxic than most commenters would care to admit, and it's not because everyone is too analytical or dismissive of technology ideas (though that's part of it).

The root cause is exactly what OP is talking about - substituting intelligence for empathy.

Whenever there is a discussion of social policy in the United States vs other countries, HN - as a community of entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-adjacents - optimizes for the "freedom" of the US at the expense of all other detriments to society. That is one blindspot.

Whenever there is a discussion of racial injustices or inequalities, or of gender issues, the more radical right-wing/libertarian points of view get dramatically more upvotes over time than the equivalent progressive points of view. It's hard to tell what is the "center" line in society, in American society, in the tech industry, and specifically in the largest companies in the tech industry. But I can confidently say that HackerNews - by what it upvotes - is more right-of-center of the kinds of policies that say the FAAMNG companies promote internally (for hiring, racial justice).

Let's just say HackerNews is more sympathetic to the Coinbase/37Signals perspective than the Google/Microsoft perspectives.

Does this inherently make it toxic? Obviously my perspective on it reveals my own biases. But I would say yes, because it comes from a very fundamental dislike of the human/societal implications of technology and a privileged "it doesn't affect me, so it can't be a problem" stance. And I think for young nerds being exposed to this worldview in an unbalanced ratio skews and pulls you in a direction away from empathy.
In short, it's a second-gen platform that doesn't have to support a bunch of legacy customers, so we can make it much less complex to use.

We started doing auth because our dev customers kept telling us how much of a pain it was with the first-gen companies (Auth0 et al). With Userfront, you don't have to learn all the standards/protocols or deal with browser quirks, and things like testing, access control, and multi-tenancy are first-class features instead of things you spend lots of time on.

It's a Red Queen's race, though. Because the housing costs go up, the standard of living remains the same.

The end result is a less moral society, because people have to change to stranger and stranger business just to keep their place in the hierarchy.

Instead of having a normal ('communist') job, you have to get involved in dirty tourism stuff. The end result of this is as in New York City or San Fransisco, where anyone with a 'normal' job has obviously had rent go up way more than income. Granted, they too could go into tech or finance, but the benefits to society of this are most unclear.
