It's better to do an internet search for those terms, and look at what catches your eye according to your interests. There are many players pushing for their own understanding on how to reach that goal, and I would not promote any one over the others (especially as they all seem to be a bit unripe right now).

Look for modern notetaking apps (Notion, Obsidian, logseq, Airtable, Roam Research... and "alternatives to" any of those) to see what style of knowledge management I'm talking about (there are two main varieties - the "outliner" and the "user-friendly relational database", with a lot of overlap between them).
There's a basic single-column 'inline' display available if you do `INLINE=y`, but it's not as mature as the side-by-side display yet.

I don’t understand the git analogy at all.

> If we’re extending the definition of web3 to include decentralized software systems

We certainly aren’t. Web3 is defined by “trustless” decentralized systems (which usually aren’t actually decentralized, in practice).

Branding a database as “Web3” is terrible PR, given web3’s reputation for obscene inefficiency and high latency. The marketing team should reconsider this post.
All this high speed life or death information and yet the clearance rate of solved homicides in the US has dropped from 70% in the 1980's to 50% today.

I, for one, appreciate my employer will no longer be able to turn off auto-search-completion on my behalf.

Pain in my ass when that feature's disabled because my employer has skewed paranoia dials (so they don't trust Google with search history, but we're using Workspaces, so they trust them with... every corporate document stored in Drive? Wat?)
Yep! It does a conventional textual diff: run Myers' diff algorithm on lines, then word highlighting on changed lines.
It looks like the same internal conflict I've seen elsewhere: Non-technical marketing or exec people demand "web3" and "NFTs" and the engineers tell them it's silly and why does our in-memory json database need blockchain anyway? There's a lot of time wasted, everyone learns something about carbon offsets, and either the project gets dropped or the senior engineers quit and the juniors are bullied into line behind the "vision" (or promised tokens of some kind).

The rapid scaling of Qubits is thrilling and terrifying, notably for the implications on public key cryptography.
I'm against this for many reasons related to increased potential for authoritarianism and abuse of freedom, but also because it undermines a desirable quality of cash: if our digital infrastructure suffers a significant outage, physical transactions must continue. We must always be able to "bootstrap" back from the physical realm while we repair the digital realm. If everything moves to "ecash", that becomes impossible. It makes us less robust. It's like putting the recovery codes for your password manager inside your password manager.
> would secret voting here make sense? I don't think so. When people are not afraid to speak their mind - then a real consensus can be faster found.

You are swapping cause and effect and are implying that making voting secret creates fear. This is plain wrong.

If I could share with you here the chart of my cholesterol reduction I achieved after drastically changing my omega 6 to omega 3 ratio in my diet... But also the changes to my mood, my Lupus, my kidney function, etc...

And yes, obesity, fat cells are immune cells and they are inflammatory under a poor diet. And this ignorance of the nature of obesity is even more important with SARS2 running around rampant.

I will only say that obesity combined with nutrient deficiency is more important than obesity alone.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d42859-021-00051-w
In a healthy body, adipose tissue plays a positive role, serving as reservoir of energy in times of food scarcity. Fat tissue is also full of immune system cells. And in lean, healthy individuals, it secretes factors that are anti-inflammatory and protective.

If, however, the fat tissue becomes unhealthy, as often happens in people with obesity, it can become dysfunctional and secrete hormones and other chemical signals that promote chronic low-grade inflammation.

What would you propose qualifies as a private instrument given this definition? Anything with a public ledger lends itself to really detailed forensic accounting, and durable goods tend to be uniquely identifiable. Gold can be melted and reforged, but it could be chemically altered so that it would remain traceable.
> Does being in one of those groups give you an advantage when applying, a la affirmative action?

Probably not. What's really weird about it is that YC is international and they are applying US ethnic labels (and representation levels) to international companies. i.e. 54% of Latinx founded companies are in Latin America and 60% of Black-founded companies are in Africa. (per directory: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?batch=w2020&batch=W22)

Which means the underrepresented/overrepresented doesn't even make sense (except for US-facing political reasons). If you use the world population as your benchmark:

* Latino founders are if anything slightly overrepresented (10% of world; 12% of founders)

* South Asian founders should be considered underrepresented (22% of world; 15% of founders)

* Assuming "Asian" means East or southeast Asia, such founders are also underrepresented (28% of world; 18% of founders)

Alternatively, YC should do what universities do and only report ethnic data for American companies.
414 companies invested = ~25 companies per YC group partner (including visiting partners), assuming 40hrs/wk + no prior batches also competing for time.

Seems like a phenomenal resource for those who are new to tech mindset/hyper growth/tech culture.

That said, it seems largely not possible for a startup to get more than ~2 hours per partner per week. That's a lot from the perspective of an semi-experienced founder, but perhaps not a lot for someone with minimal experience, seeking more coaching.

For other founders on HN, how much time do you take/get with your investors and advisors? Is their time undersupplied, oversupplied, or just right for you?
I know developers who still use it, but they refuse to give IntelliJ a chance.

What a disappointment, so many NFT/crypto companies. Given current blockchain technology, this is something that straight up makes the world a worse place by making existing processes significantly more carbon intensive.

I would consider working in crypto to be the equivalent of working for Juul or a tobacco company. Not quite as evil as working for a company that provides spyware that's used against human rights activists, but, the rung above that.
The thing being optimized is developer time.

I have been thinking of writing up a series of articles on this. Without going into too much detail:

* IDEA

* Deploy on Google App Engine, Digital Ocean App Platform, Heroku, Elastic Beanstalk, etc - get out of the ops business entirely.

* Guice as the backbone, no Spring/Boot. I wrote a tiny dropwizard-like "framework" to make this easier: https://github.com/gwizard/gwizard but there's a laughable amount of code here, you could build it all from scratch with minimal effort. This is about as lightweight as "frameworks" get because Guice does the heavy lifting.

* JAX-RS (Resteasy) for the web API. IMO this is the best part of Java web development. HTTP endpoints are simple synchronous Java methods (with a few annotations) and you can test them like simple Java methods.

* Lombok. Use @Value heavily. Cuts most of the boilerplate out of Java.

* Junit5 + AssertJ. (Or Google Truth, which is almost identical to AssertJ).

* Use functional patterns. Try to make all variables and fields final. Use collection streams heavily. Consider vavr.io (I'll admit I haven't used it in anger yet, but I would in a new codebase).

* StreamEx. Adds a ton of useful stream behavior; I don't even use basic streams anymore.

* Guava. There's just a lot of useful stuff here.

* For the database, it really depends on what you're building. Most generic business apps, postgres/hibernate/guice-persist/flyway. Yeah, folks complain about hibernate a lot but it's a decent way to map to objects. Use SQL/native queries, don't bother with JPQL, criteria queries, etc.

* Hattery for making http requests (https://github.com/stickfigure/hattery). This is another one of mine. I make zillions of http requests, functional/immutable ergonomics really matter to me.

* Github actions for CI.

* Maven for the build. Yes, it's terrible, except for every other build system is worse. Gradle seems like it should be better but isn't. I'd really love some innovation here. Sigh.
It's not just security companies. US ISPs are heavily tied to agencies and so are the large corps. The media is state ran just like Russia.

We've been studying SARS-CoV2 a lot more than most other viruses, and in humans, it's often associated with confounding variables, so it's good to take studies with a grain of salt because the 200 common cold viruses probably haven't been studied this closely, and you have to be really careful to factor in emotional distress in human studies.
> Such attacks would still cause you problems once your audit spots one: you now have to hold back a version

That's not a problem caused by this "attack". You should assume that any open source project you use is unmaintained unless you have a support contract and that it will never get any updates again. A lot of these packages have a bus factor of 1 with no backup plan.
Freshmen year of college, I was part of an experimental program that solved this exact problem.

At the beginning of the semester we were given a large binder filled with competencies we were expected to master. Every question on every test was labeled with a competency that the question assessed. Once you demonstrated knowledge of the competency you no longer needed to demonstrate it again. You marked it as complete in your binder, attached the graded test as evidence, and turned it in to your advisor.

Advanced students could go into the final, answer only the questions that tested competencies they hadn't previously mastered, then turn in their final after just a few minutes of work. Students who struggled early in the semester could rally through the last few tests, ace all the questions, and demonstrate enough of the required competencies to end the semester with a decent grade.

It was an intensely _weird_ way to be graded and required a massive amount of overhead and bookkeeping from both students and faculty. I'm not sure it was a good idea, but I did do much better that year than any of the later years. My freshmen 4.0 sustained my total GPA through some much more difficult times.
We had a teacher in high school that was universally accepted as being sexist. I took "Honor's English" (basically "hard" English for more intelligent students) with her in 9th grade. There were 3 of us boys in her class of ~20 or so, and we were all on the high IQ end of the scale and good students. The girls were a mixed bag, including some that definitely shouldn't have been in the "honor's" class.

They all got As and Bs. I pulled in the only Cs of my scholastic career. One of the guys got the exact same grade to the second decimal place on 4 papers in a row.

My personal highlights were getting told my Polyphemus' cave diorama (boy, what a good use of time!) wasn't colorful enough, along with the time she accused me of plagiarism in front of the class in the middle of my book report because of the vocabulary I used.

The sexism was so bad that the daughter of another teacher actually left mid-class to complain to the principal about it. Nothing was done.
In other words, you want to separate the wheat from the chaff.
First thing I do is disable the admin interface. I think most serious Django devs view it as a gimmick.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with this.

Many Democrats also decided to join the Putin-backed coup attempt, and also voted to not impeach during one or both trials. Many Democrats also tried to claim Hunter Biden, while working for a natural gas company in Ukraine, somehow was up to something and using his dad's appointment as VP for something.

Funny how Biden became President, and now Russia is invading Ukraine to maintain their stranglehold on Europe's energy supply, and all the pro-Russian bot accounts on Twitter and Facebook that were repeating the "Hunter's Laptop" and "But Her Emails" stories to divide and conquer, suddenly vanished.

I am a socialist, and what both parties do is disgusting, and, honestly, anti-American. Our government has been rapidly degrading my entire lifetime, and the only reasonable action is to ring the alarm bell and hope other people wake up and start fighting the fascism that is threatening to destroy our nation.
Excellent point, one issue is that most society haven't seemed to figure out how to efficiently remove rules that are outdated or more critically: the rules that amplify the power of those in power.

So far it seems that democracy might be most successful just because it spreads around power so much that it takes many generations to successfully re-concentrate it.

I get it.

Going to an Ivy League school in the '00s... everyone got As.

This made grading BS.

Employers just wanted to know that you had "at least a 3.0" and you parents just wanted to know that you weren't failing out. And the hyper-inflated grades I received from my expensive elitist school ensured I wouldn't hit issues. But... totally true, grates "are demotivating, they don’t actually measure learning and they increase students’ stress."

The moment you introduce grading, you introduce ways to game it.

Now look, the long standing joke for schools that don't grade, "I got a Pineapple in Underwater-Basket-Weaving-and-Thermo-Gender-Dynanics!" But yeah, so what if you get a Pineapple as long as you learned something? That spark of a desire to learn more is really what I want to see in anyone, and I don't know how to measure that.

In most schools, it seems like getting good grades is just an act of subservience. "Yes, Professor! I gave up my weekends to do 3x 'extra credit' assignments, and I washed your dog and dusted the erasers!" Oof... not really the qualities I want to hire for a leadership position. Not unless I wanted a bunch of Yes Men.

Seems like it should be on the interviewer to determine if you're any good at what you do, not rely on some arbitrary metric when hiring you. (And a lot of states are "right to work" so it's not like they don't know how to fire someone if they don't work out.)

I'm all for abolishing grades in university classes. Just probably need some sort of standardized test at the end to say, "Yes, you know 85% what you should as a History Major..." And... that opens up a whole other can of worms. Oof.

There's no great solution, but look I get that grades suck.
> If IQ doesn’t further our knowledge of human behavior nor the human mind it is at best a useless construct.

I mean, I think it does further our knowledge of these things, but even if it didn't, that wouldn't make it useless, because it still predicts things we care about pretty well.

> GDP has the benefit here of being extremely easy to measure... IQ doesn’t have this quality

Which measures of intelligence do you think are easier to measure than IQ? You mention the SAT positively below, which is very similar to an IQ test.

> IQ advocates often have a vested interest in an IQ that is immutable and (to some degree) heritable. This is often assumed to be true...

I mean, every researcher would say that it's only immutable and heritable to a degree, and there's tons of research quantifying the degree of mutability and heritability (e.g. twin studies, admixture studies).

> But it is still used to explain group differences. This is where using IQ becomes scientifically invalid.

Is there a specific claim you have in mind that you consider invalid? Can you give me an example of an explanation of group differences that you would consider scientifically valid?

> with immutability and heritability, you don’t have to explain it further. The answer is in psychology and genetics.

Are you saying these claims happen to be false, or that they're categorically impossible / bad explanations? Is there any aspect of human behavior that you think can be explained by psychology or genetics?
> My claim is that even areas away from dense urban environments seem to be getting more crowded. It seems like every place is.

Of course it is. No one likes density, even those that say they like it (they enjoy the benefits, not the drawbacks) so it gets voted down almost literally everywhere - such as how you feel about greater density in your community.

Due to this, the only option to build was sprawl as density was banned.

The US really doesn't have "urban" other than for a few legacy pre-war cities that have marginally functional mass transit. The suburban/exurban way of life is pretty much the default for most of the country.

I'd feel a lot better about this debate if there were truly reasonable urban living choices. It would be nice to remove all forms of subsidy so everyone was paying their actual externalized costs.

One thing I've made note of my entire life as I watched sprawl continue unabated was that this is a historical anomaly. The human condition seems to be enough density to keep agriculture going in the hinterlands, with only a very select few being able to afford the upkeep/transport/etc. costs of maintaining an estate outside of the "dirty" city. To me it seems we might have spent a couple generations building a wildly unsustainable house of cards.
Our bog-standard business ultrabooks have been requested to perform a full disk scan each Friday. Which means their CPUs and Fans are running solid, most all Fridays.

You’re absolutely correct, my friend.
Yes this (plus using quite common machines to build/make a quantum computer)
I would argue the style is kind of orthogonal to the style of Technicolour film. The light sources are all natural environmental lights with a deep dynamic range in dark nighttime environments.

Technicolour films (the more modern three-strip ones, because these are even farther removed from the original two-strip films, where you would only see shades of green and red) in the heyday of those films were marked by very bright open stage environments blasted by gigantic spot lights illuminating everything in front of the camera. The films were so slow (we're talking like 10 ISO during the 50s) that you needed to blast everything with light or it just would not show up.
You are either trolling, or not mentally present. Either way, please refrain from commenting further.

In case of the latter:

>What does eugenics have to do with that comment?

rajin444 is stating that an understanding of genetics would allow us to rehabilitate people that "will not work with the society that works for the rest of us." This implies that socially desirable behavior can be genetically coded, which has been debunked by the failure of eugenics.

>>future compatibility with society cannot be judged on genetics

>Nobody said this but you.

You had said in a previous comment:

>>Just because it hits home, genetic prevalence of cancer is something completely different from behavior and how people work in a society.

>>You know who else tried to predict future compatibility of certain people based on genetics?

>Both can be predicted genetically.

Which implies that you think future compatability can be judged by genetics.

>>Using proven things like cancer to justify BS theories like "eugenics" is, IMHO, unacceptable.

>Nobody said this either. Who are you even arguing with?

You commented this earlier:

>Your parents have cancer? Well predictively you might have a higher chance of getting it too. Your parents are smart? We should test you for the gifted program.

In this comment, you explicitly compare the use of genetics in a.) cancer and b.) screening for intelligence.

I am inclined to think that you are trolling, especially considering that you are repeatedly using an appeal to emotion in the form of a hypothetical traumatic event. Please stop.
Oops, I think you're right! Thank you for pointing that out.

My apologies to Wilfred.
Google latin translate was awful like two years ago, but has gotten ridiculously good (compared to what one would except of a mostly dead language). I haven't learned out by virtue of what effort, but someone clearly has put good work into getting it working. I assume it involves digitisation of medieval latin manuscripts (of which there are many). I wonder how it does/could do at Sanskrit, where the surviving corpus is truly immense.
Not to be too snarky, but the location itself does a lot of the work ;)
