Hey Kevin - you should come join AirMiners Slack and post this. http://airminers.org

Love the dashboard. So cool to see carbon removal tracked like this! For a long time such a dashboard would have been only a datapoint or two, now it's starting to fill out.

Would be good to talk further about this -- maybe record a podcast or something? Seems like useful info for founders and ppl thinking about starting carbon removal companies. Email in bio if of interest.
One of my concerns about cryptocurrency is the potential for the lack of regulation to allow for scammers, pyramid and pump&dump scemes, etc. I’ve heard of more than one undereducated immigrant family having life savings absolutely devastated due to this in a way that one would at least have case law and existing recourse if this happened in a traditional structure.

Additionally I doubt that cryptocurrency is disrupting wealth inequality. The major participants were all wealthy to begin and all of the increased interest seems to circle around the most wealthy… so it actually just contributes to wealth inequality. (In the documentary there is even apparently an mmo that people play to earn cryptocurrency tokens that goes into the wallet of an employer who then pays them a wage, with performance reviews and firings. Idk this looks to me only of recreating the same wage slavery and wealth grift that the original money system has.)
And how did you attract their attention?
It should be noted that they did use physical force against the protesters to clear them from the street. That included teargas, pepper spray, batons, kneeing while prostrate on the ground with multiple officers present and no resistance from the protester, horses ridden through a peaceful crowd with at least two people knocked down and possibly injured including a women who appeared to be in her late 60s or 70s who required the use of a walker. There is video evidence of all of this if you care to look.

The response has been somewhat restrained compared to the antics that US police get up to but I would not call it a "civil way to force you to move".
I've spent 2k just on a monitor.

I'm more surprised that the quest is so cheap, but then I remember exactly what you said: the quest is not the product, I am the product.

Then I remember why I don't use Meta products anymore.

Just think where Wikipedia would be without the porn industry...and VR-"Gaming" ;-)

I've got an IPD of 77 and I'm extremely grateful to see a good VR headset that supports how far apart my eyes are.
Edward Shishkin has been the main maintener of reiser4 for years.
> If the device solves a genuine productivity problem for you, 3k is cheap.

I don't know why anyone would buy this contraption that costs more than a Oculus / Meta Quest or a HTC Vive and is targeted at consumers.

Like you said; it is a 'first gen' which usually means this is an instant don't buy. Even if you wait for it to be cheaper, the use-cases are already limited with the consumers getting frustrated and will just purchase an Oculus VR headset from Meta.

The next consumer product that will have a mass adoption like the iPhone, will certainly be AR glasses from either Apple, Google or Meta.

Definitely not VR headsets and contraptions like this one which that ship has already sailed.
Man, if it were the early 2000's, I could give you a seemingly endless list of sites. There was a a network of sites like designiskinky, k10k, praystation, and many others that existed to curate, and showcase interesting websites. A lot of that creativity was due to graphic designers learning Flash, and putting up their experiments. A really interesting period of time.

Sadly, I don't really know of anything like that anymore. I'll run across a random Tumblr from time to time. Or, strike gold with a random Pintrest list. But, it's nothing like it used to be, in regards to out-of-the-box web design.
I mean, at the end of the day ReiserFS offers very little special compared to the other options already in the kernel. It never had a huge install base and has always been a major maintenance burden on the kernel.

AFAIK, BTRFS has everything Reiser has with a far better maintenance and ongoing feature expansion.

Really, the only reason to use reiser at this point is because you are dealing with data that you can't, for some reason, move to a new filesystem yet you still want to have updates to the kernel.
Exactly... and even worse, the 404 "bot" laden with whatever garbage my teenage brain came up with at 3am back in the 90s: https://glenneroo.org/404.html
It is definitely too expensive for broad adoption, but maybe it doesn't need broad adoption?

I might buy one if I could find a way to experience it first.
Well, I entered the workforce in 1996 and I have never seen or heard of that practice here in France.
That's BS. I can't sue my company because I'm a midlevel dev with 10 years experience and an MS, just because a coworker of mine who started at the same time is 3 levels above me in a manager role probably making 2x what I do.

My dissatisfaction has nothing to do with that person's performance. In fact, I was glad they gave him a distinguished rating when we worked together - he deserved it. What I do have a problem with is that the department breaks enterprise policy by mandating a manager pick someone for a bad rating to balance out the high rating. They picked me. My dissatisfaction is solely with the broken policies and not with someone being justly rewarded.

What did you find better about it?
How to do you have lower taxation when your costs (heating, food, labour, transportation, construction materials) are all higher? The north doesn't even have permanent roads, and building those would cost billions of dollars and zillions every year as the frost destroys them. Ask the Soviet Union if profitably settling the north is a mere matter of will.

The easy way is to provide dirty water, shabby schools, and expensive food, but we do that already and people aren't exactly flocking north.
If you're able to release everything as a consistent snapshot, it probably is not a monorepo. Instead it is just a normal repo containing a single big project.

Here's an example: let's say that is you've got a single product with a backend server, database, web frontend, and a iOS app. How would you release all those projects as an atomic unit?

If there's a new field in this release, the database schema needs to be changed on the servers before the backend is released. The backend needs to change before the frontends do. You have no control over the deployment speed of some of those components, so releasing them all at the same time is impossible.

Similar issues would happen if you update 3rd party library, and software using the new Vs. old versions of the library are incompatible.

So the value of this monorepo isn't that you could cut a release for all of the components at once. It is that everyone doing development has a shared view of the current state of the system.
It's not intended to be flame bait. If someone were writing new material today which contained similar messages it would easily run afoul of current hate speech regulations. It would be interesting to investigate further inconsistencies in enforcement of the laws.
Don't they have any fingerprinting software for videos? Should not be too difficult.

Wow that gave me Flashbacks of both Flash websites and Metal Gear Solid. Flash was great for a time but was not the way of the future and I’m glad it died.
There is no reverse engineering because how Windows implements things internally is totally irrelevant. We only implement the public interfaces exposed by the NT Executive. The device drivers and user applications are all taken from ReactOS source code.
Beyond what makes a good model, IME at a FAANG building an ML product, the bulk of the work in practice tends to be general software engineering. There need to be a sufficient number of people who understand the actual ML pieces under the hood, but even when you're making changes to the models, the bulk of the actual work is not complex ideation, but implementing the ideas in software, and this implementation is usually something you can learn in a few months.
While I can see why you would find that annoying, I find it extremely unlikely that it would be a significant cause on reducing traffic to it.
If the German successor state to the Third Reich could join the western alliance after WW2, why can't the successor state to the Soviet Union join? Russia as a white-majority christian country shares many values and culture with the others.

The western alliance has not only rebuffed Russia, it has expanded eastwards against promises made and thus provoked the current situation in Ukraine.

What would the US do if the soviets were to expand into Mexiko? Or... Cuba? We know how that went. If the mission of NATO was to secure peace, why would they reject Russia? It makes no sense from that perspective.

The answer is that there are other reasons NATO exists and what it is being used for.
Removing a kernel driver does not break userspace.

I mean, yes, your filesystem becomes inaccessible, but any programs that you could run if you could access that filesystem by some other means would still function. None of them depend on ReiserFS specifically for their function.

Userspace breakage is more about changing interfaces in such a way that applications using that interface change their behaviour somehow. This does not apply to removed drivers.
Yeah. Tens of millions sounds fine. And you don’t have to keep navigating the raw zip file, you just do it once. “All file offsets available in a single immutable in-memory hash map” is basically the dream scenario. I imagine if you were desperate you could pack more in by representing your file names efficiently in memory, a bit of path compression or a trie or whatever, but if it already works it already works.
That's not really consistent with my experience in the Rust community at all. Memes aside, rewrites for the sake of rewrites are typically discouraged. When language comparisons are made, they tend to clearly highlight objective and subjective pros/cons.

In particular, the referenced AWS article is typically called out as a bad "study"

Maybe it was different a few years ago, but this is what I've seen since late 2019ish.
They should also put a large dart board looking target on the headset.
The design reminded me very much of Craft, which im using currently → What are the advantages of using a card base note system over a regular "file"based one?
Obviously, I can see the "visual" difference, but in terms of actual usage, where's the difference?
Not really, their break even (and by that, I mean ideal bulk pricing of components) for units sold is under 1000 units.
The Simula one is not trying to sell 100k units. If you think thats the case, your expectations are wrong.

Re (software) development: Yes it will need funding, but it's there right now https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula and is agnostic/works with any openXR headset.

Why not update to more modern FSes like BTRFS, XFS, or ZFS? BTRFS, in particular, is pretty heavily inspired by Reiser.

I'm not entirely sure what's gained by asking a candidate about FAT16.
No, what I am suggesting is that as an "individual contributor" you're unlikely to merit an outlay of resources to do anything about your antics until your actions are somehow significant.
Wow that gave me Flashbacks of both Flash websites and Metal Gear Solid. Flash was great for a time but was not the way of the future and I’m glad it died.

Looks like an interesting proposition!
Definitely would like more information about how this sits on the face of a glasses wearer (or how prescription lenses can anchor into the headset).
Also, there's no details on how this is powered, but given it's use case outdoors, it's suggests it's battery powered. What's the expected battery life?
I'm not sure what source you're looking for, it was one person who got put in a squad car in a small town of a couple thousand people. Who knows whether he was charged, I only heard about it through some local social media. The context was that he was holding a sign on a sidewalk next to a busy road in a sort of solo protest against nothing.

Yes context does matter, those were just the first two examples that came to mind. My point remains though, anyone who's lived in both the US and Canada should know without a shadow of a doubt that what you can legally say in Canada is very different from what you can legally say in the US.
On mobile I use GitJournal for this - it's an excellent app which I'm really happy with.

On desktop, I just use VS Code.
Price is okay. As a developer anything that can help with my day to day work is worth investing in. This device could potentially replace the need for high end ergonomic chairs and standing desks.
Lots of people seem to turn up their nose at btrfs. Is there a reason for that? Was it perhaps launched before it was really ready and people still remember early versions?
It's a degree of association, yes.

I think it was the --rebuild-tree argument, which as I understand tries to fix an otherwise completely broken filesystem by searching for anything that looks like metadata and gluing it back together.

I've not looked at reiserfs in many years though, so I could be mis-remembering here.
You say that but the majority of success in our society is tied to money, especially for men. That means career.
From the features page:

> On Supernotes your data is always encrypted in transit (forced SSL) and encrypted at rest (AES-256). Our team will never read or access your note content, unless we have received your express permission during a customer support interaction.

Sorry, but the fact that you can read it makes this a no-go for me. Unless a note-taking solution offers end-to-end encryption, I don't consider it a safe place for storing private information.
Of course! government intervention in prices and supply and demand! How nobody thought about it before? Well, they did. And it failed spectacularly, as central planning of prices doesn't work due to the impossibility of getting all the information needed in time and the results of the analysis on time too in order to correct the market.

And as a proponent of UBI, YOU should explain how it would work, not the others. What financial tools or mechanisms would use a government to control the inflation or the rise in prices? I mean, even in the late Soviet Union had to look at capitalists countries to have an idea of the prices for basic products, because they coul not put a price that would make it work.

I'm not sure what you're arguing with here. The need to understand what you're doing is not at odds with designing our tools to make it easy to do the right thing. Quite the opposite, knowing what we are doing helps us write good tools and good tools help us know what we are doing.
Ah yes, impostor syndrome. I've been taught to be aware of it and to sort of ignore it by the techies (or I guess it's the media reporting on tech + techies who posts on their own personal blog). This has definitely been a factor why I've been fired at one place, because they believed I was too slow. If I'd have embraced the actual impostor syndrome feeling that I have, then instead of doing it away, I'd have worked my ass off to get to a level where they wouldn't think I was too slow.

One could argue that I might not be a good match with the company or something given there was a difference in expectations, but I wanted to stay there. Yet, I ignored the feeling of not being good enough and it was one of the big factors that led me to being fired.

I'm just one anecdotal point. But I read about some of the ideas on impostor syndrome, took the advice to heart, ran with it and got burned. I'm sure there are opposite stories as well.

Life is a nuanced tricky business. Receiving advice well might be even more tricky.
Logseq is free and open source https://logseq.com/
You have to sync yourself though (for now).
You can also publish to github pages.

My only issues are: they are focusing more on the desktop and (now) mobile apps, instead of the web app.
You can't quickly share items to the app or web version to quickly save links, etc.
They did have github integration built into the web version but are abandoning that to work on their own paid sync solution that isn't out yet. But you can manually sync the files as I mentioned.

For now I'm mainly sticking with a wiki but keeping an eye on developments to logseq and similar open source apps like Athens Research, Bangle, etc. See this twitter list of different knowledge management tools: https://twitter.com/i/lists/1396562498002825240
The main Anki codebase is getting rewritten in Rust (from Python) so they'll probably clean up a whole lot of technical debt in the process and make future contributions easier.
The parent has this wrong. In the US the "volume" measurements are actually kind of a lie. You can write recipes in terms of "volume" but they're actually by weight.

1 stick of butter is 4oz by weight which is defined to be 0.5 cups (i.e when you write down 1 cup butter it means 8 oz).
They do fully embrace it! I almost laughed at the comment:

> It can sometimes just feel weird working on sensitive or private things out in the open.

... all while the GIF next to it seems to have people glaring at the weird person with the VR headset on. Clever marketing hidden way down there. But who knows, maybe this is the future if Zuck throws billions at it.
it's enough for a government to say it won't buy chips manufactured abroad and presto, you have TSMC fabs being built on US ground as we speak; EU is close behind.
Same and also long INTC - Pat has been known for a while to be a very competent leader. I think the vertical integration that intel has will be extremely valuable in the next decade.
Pretty sure the wording is intentially fuzzy, so the special interest groups can add the meaning after it becomes law.

I would expect them to push for a Marxist view on "value" of work, basically each hour is of equal value, but where you adjust for number of years of formal education, again where the type of eduction is not important. A developer with a MSc from a top college may be compared to someone with an MSc/MA in Sociology, working in the HR department, for instance.

The key alternative is to gauge value based on market demand, but where I live (Northern Europe), those who advocate "equal pay for work of equal value" don't seem to go for that. Instead, they claim that nurses and engineers should have the same salary, as the length of their education is different, at least for people employed by the public.

Awesome project! I'm a regular Quest 2 user, and also use it for work sometimes. For me, the biggest drawback of the Quest 2 is that it gets uncomfortable after a while. How do you address the ergonomics problem? Compared to a Quest 2, is it more comfortable?

What about collaboration? Is there something like shared workspaces planned? Or does it support a virtual cam?

When do you plan to ship it (maybe I missed it on your website?)
Ask HN: Identifying Talent
I was just reading an article (https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2022/2/23/22946679/rams-super-bowl-nfl-draft-trades) which claimed that no NFL team consistently drafts better players than its competitors. Are there certain tech firms that are better at identifying talent than others? If so, which ones and how do they do it?
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, some federal government scientists and administrators did highly unethical things to suppress discussion of the lab leak hypothesis.

However the official position of the US federal government is now that a lab leak is possible and hasn't been disproven.

Rust vs. Go: Why They’re Better Together (2021)
I sometimes regret not pursuing the FBI out of graduate school - it was a strong offer. Would have been a very different career path with its own rewards. Now even if I wanted to go that direction I've aged out of joining that agency and State-level agencies would be a crazy substantial pay cut. Though nationwide LEOSA priv is worth something.
I guess it is a way to say that the business model is probably not right and they won't last long.

But what do I know, I never launched a product.
Yes, I am, because I'm trying to avoid the discussion being taken to a place where we argue past each other about what the law says and keep it on track, discussing the fundamentals of why things should or shouldn't be this way.
I also love the fact that the guy can't drink his coffee because it clashes with the headset. They should have had the actor order a drink with a straw.
Yean unfortunately I would not use this thing in public, I think it would just get stolen. I have a $2K camera (body only) that I'm afraid to use in public, seems silly I know.

But I think I'll try to use my Index more see if I can get into that idea of using VR for work.

I hope they figured out the blurry edges of text when you don't look at it just right, maybe that's a lower resolution display issue. I'm interested in the concept but it's definitely expensive for me at the current cost/mental mindset.
Their current CPU-features-as-a-service marketing push doesn't look like a right move to me.
> I think the only real solution to this is going to be once we hold platforms accountable for the content they let people host.

I really don't see this as a solution, it's not going to stop the reposts laid out above.

I think reporting the infringing uploader to authorities etc would be more appropriate given revenge pr0n is a crime in most places. This would act as at least a deterant for some.

The hashing seems like it would filter out at least a few more, but there are a lot of patterns that could be picked up, audio track recognition, frame counts etc. There are better ways than manual intervention on every re-upload.
It's pretty amazing that Lileks has kept it going for so long. I remember this being a major time-waster 25 years ago. Still haunted by The Gobbler.
Some of what you're describing is in ZFS. E.g., it has multiple compression algorithms; you can create many datasets -- each of these is either a ZFS filesystem or a volume which can have another FS deployed to it, but with compression and encryption handled by the "host" ZFS.

It is strange that paying for being a product that is sold has become normalized. Then again slavery was common not long ago.
