I've felt similar recently, though more in the arts direction.

In the past few years I've discovered a love for playing music, singing, drawing, and painting. All things I never got into as a child/teenager for various reasons (parental discouragement, lack of opportunites, then lack of time etc.).

All things I could spend a lifetime exploring with passion. But as for what to do with those skills? I honestly can't think of an end goal other than enjoying them for myself (though pursuing them with dedication and focus is still a goal).

I feel too old to go about trying to join a band for the first time, and lack the many years of experience I expect it takes. Similarly on the drawing/painting side, it feels the internet/world is full of struggling professional artists, I can't imagine what I'd contribute even if I wanted to.

So happy to carry on for personal enjoyment, and accept that there's no obligation to do anything with any skills/interests I acquire.
yes, that's accurate. It would probably demand different effort and budget however.
I've heard that there's been pressure to shut down or significantly reduce BuzzFeed.News in order to lower the cost[1], but I really hope that they manage to keep the organization running and effective. I struggle to think of many other newsrooms, let alone an upstart like this one, that are able to produce articles of this quality through investigative journalism, especially on a story involving topics like cryptocurrency and privacy ethics.

"Seemingly reasonable" is a poor place to start.

It's somehow similar to the way so many of us expect actually evil people to somehow come with horns or other evil-indicating visual accessories. The reality is that evil people wear suits, and jeans, and shorts and hats and look just like the non-evil people.

So it is with "reasonable". The fact that someone can phrase their objections to accessibility that doesn't make them immediately sound like a prejudiced ignorant lunatic doesn't actually mean that they are not a prejudiced ignorant lunatic (it doesn't mean that they are either, but you should remain suspicious).

For myself, I had a revelation about such matters when my daughter had major hip surgery (twice). While normally a fully mobile and athletic person, she had to spend several weeks (twice) with a wheelchair. Suddenly it became clear that the accomodations we have made in this direction are not just for people born with disabilities that prevent them from walking: any one of us could find ourselves, either temporarily or permanently, benefitting from ramps and door openers and curb cuts etc.

I am absolutely certain that the same is also true of accomodations made in the direction of visual impairment, hearing impairment and just about any other condition that deviates from some (often hypothetical) state of "full functionality".

Please, protect yourself from the backlash from these "seemingly reasonable" people. They are ignorant, selfish and of limited scope in their thinking. You deserve better.
I completely agree, having a kid is hard work but its put the universe into alignment for me more than I ever would have expected in terms of healthy priorities at work, balancing my ego-driven motivations out and in the direction and scope of my personal projects.

have both appeared recently and are getting remarkably close to the original Dall-E (maybe better as I can't test the real thing...)

So - this was pretty good timing if OpenAI want to appear to be ahead of the pack. Of course I'd always pick a model I can actually use over a better one I'm not allowed to...

No, it's about research.

Man, that's just bullshit, I don't even know where to start.
All you have to do is spin anticlockwise twice, clap 5 times, say magic word and poof bad people with stop being bad. Everyone knows that in X country.

At this stage you cant say if they are naive or a troll.
It's like a regime change, but by the people, if you so will. Regime change by vote is called democracy.

I am going to give from 231 to 789 HNCoins[1] to anyone who reads this post. The number of coins awarded will scale depending on factors we will discretely and securely apply using our proprietary algorithm that determines how we decide to reward our HNCoins during the decision process. [2] If you are a cryptographer, SME, blockchain guru, or brain surgeon take a gander at our peer reviewed whitepaper! [3]

[1] Past and Future performance do not indicate an ability to convert from HNCoins to any alternate currencies.

[2] Not all people will get awarded within the stated range of HNCoins.

OP here. Thanks for reading the post! I agree with you. It seems that the HN crowd is very much interested in tools while I explicitly mention that the tool question is the least important one. I'm curious to know why folks are more interested in tools than principles or why there is little discussion about the principles.
The important thing is that it says something HN users agree with therefore it’s true.

Berlin transforms lanterns into e-charging stations (German)
The question when evaluating long-term claims is whether there are shorter-term benchmarks specified. I'm not an expert so I don't know what specific short-term benchmarks make sense. "70% by 2030"? "Implementation underway by 2025?"

I do think it's best for the law to be a broad "this is the target" with the nitty-gritty "how to" being figured out by experts. The target should have been established by asking those experts, but I want the people tasks with implementing it to have flexibility to update the plan if things change.

If a highly-prescriptive law has been passed and suddenly we have a major breakthrough in fusion/batteries/etc., or a geopolitical event suddenly changes the availability of certain resources, the implementation details should be adjusted without having to run back to the politicians for an updated law.
We already have 50% generation of electricity from renewables this year
This is good feedback. They can definitely still pivot out of any issues. It still seems to boil down to if they determine if the approach they're taking will actually work from first principles. You only need it to work once, because once known proof-of-human wallets are on chain then the rest of the ecosystem can build downstream from them.

No, it doesn't. Intel stopped charging licensing fees a while back:

If you needed 4K/60Hz you need thunderbolt not USBC until recently. It is hardly flexing, they aren't that much more expensive - and provide significantly more bandwidth.
Businesses do not map to people. Much easier to spin up a shell business than a personal bank account that does not map to a real person, at least in the US.

I can go further: a political environment where people are concerned about "fraud" in rescue money being distributed is not one with the political will to enable UBI at any meaningful scale. The two perspectives are largely incompatible.

In any case, I'm not sure crypto would be my first stop for fraud prevention.
Here's a more accessible link on the same story:

https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/germany-boosts-renewabl...

> "By 2030, installed onshore wind capacity should reach 115 gigawatts (GW), the government says. Annual capacity additions therefore have to reach 10 GW as of 2025. Solar PV installations will amount to 22 GW per year as of 2026 to achieve a total capacity of 215 GW by the end of the decade. Offshore wind additions are increased as well to reach a minimum of 30 GW per 2030 and 40 GW by 2035, and 70 GW by 2045. While the government wants to incentivise the production and use of biomethane in highly flexible plants by increasing tender volumes, the use of biomass for power production will be superseded by its use in transport and industry."

In particular there's an anti-NIMBYism provision in there that makes a lot of sense. This has been a huge problem for rolling out renewables in the USA from California to New York:

> "To ensure that these ambitious growth scenarios are not hampered by lengthy planning procedures, local opposition and contradictions with other protected goals, the government establishes the principle that the use of renewable energies is of overriding public interest and will be given priority over other concerns until greenhouse gas neutrality is achieved."

The benefits are obvious: Germany will be able to escape the need to import Russian gas and oil - although the American fracked LNG exporters who hoped to simply seize that market from Russia are doubtless disappointed.
It seems fairly obvious that we do not have the collective will to make the kind of changes necessary to meaningfully change the trajectory of climate change. Might as well spend our efforts planning on how we will live with it, as it happens. I doubt we will have any more success in the future finding the will to try geoengineering, either. We will just find millions of little ways to mitigate the pain.

I love how we're almost twenty years into cryptocurrency yet people still produce these vague, literally zero content statements preceded by accusations of bias against anyone who has had enough of this vaporware talk.

In the bitcoin whitepaper it started with a "peer to peer cash system replacing banks". Doesn't really seem to work but at least sounded straight forward. Nowadays we're at "eye scanning orb for proof of personhood" and monkey NFTs. It's not even getting better every year, it's getting more stupid
Same goes for Spanish. Which country's flag should represent it? Most people probably don't even know the flag of Spain and readers in Latin America might be offended.

I think the fact is that languages simply don't have visual symbols for them. They are spoken or written, not "looked at". Languages are linear, not 2-dimensional. Euros and Dollars have their symbol because that's what is printed on the 2D surface of bills.

I’ve had a great experience with Visible, Verizon’s discount carrier. I only pay $25/mo for unlimited data, phone, and text. You join a party and each member of a party gets their own bill.
They had the same kind of messages reguariding famines and over-population back in the 1970s, we’ve been mostly fine, with the last (non-war induced) famine happening in 1990s Ethiopia (if I’m not mistaken).

But of course that these type of institutions have learned that focusing on the good things in life doesn’t attract any funds, so here we are.
And if you recall correctly in the Debian community, adopting his systemd was a long and challenging 2-year long debate. Debian adopted systemd three years after Fedora did. Afterwards multiple senior contributors resigned from their positions due to extraordinary stress levels caused by ongoing disputes about systemd.

So when I tell you the Debian community mainly cares about servers, I'm not bullshitting you and I know who the fuck Lennart is.
It's not, the point of personhood isn't that it's exploit-free, but it acts as a fundamental rate limiter. Certainly there will still be theft downstream of the verification, but (assuming the approach delivers on the goals) you will not be able to do anything to generate an arbitrary number of recipients.
> tens of thousands of people who have been destroyed by Coinbase

Could you elaborate on this part? Are you referring to people whose crypto was stolen?
Exactly. It's all about having a mental model of how other people will probably behave.

In Boston, even though everyone drove aggressive, they were predictable. So I felt fine.

Whereas in San Fran, while not as aggressive, other drivers were just random. So I was terrified.

I'm older now, with much reduced acuity and reaction times. My recent visit to El Paso was the most nervous driving experience that I remember. Way worse than LA. I felt like a dog trying to paddle upstream, surrounded by river otters playing.

YMMV.
I mean, their own government committing atrocities in their name, with record high approval rates. And every dollar which goes into russia will fund the war.

May be they should deal with that first, with consequences of their decisions. Or decisions made in their names while they did nothing. It is russian citizens who hold sole responsibility for everything going on in Ukraine.
Ah, the power of the /. My fingers fell right back into those patterns.
Yep, also the introverted ones, with introverted kids.
I've been on HN for years and I still can't figure out how to format text as a quote

I don't think there is a way comparable to markdown, since the formatting options are limited: https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc

So your options are literal quotes, "code" formatting like you've done, italics like I've done, or the '>' convention, but that doesn't actually apply formatting. Would be nice if it were added.
Also I only see wind and sun mentioned. How do they plan to deal with the volatility of the supply?

An edit button without reseting the likes/retweets counts is dangerous as it can be used to bait and switch or even change the complete history of a user depending on who's looking at it. An edit button that does reset the likes/retweets is equivalent to delete/re-post which already exists.

This is dumb.
If one assumes the current trend [1] of the last 13 years, Germany should be at 84% in 2035 by simply not slowing down the transition. So honestly not overly ambitious

I sympathize with your situation, and can relate to some of the things you described over the last couple years due to a high stress work environment. One thing I realized was that a majority of the population are magnesium deficient and this can have a dramatic effect on some people. Initially I tried taking the RDA amount as a supplement and it did nothing. Eventually I said screw it and tried a much larger dose, 1 gram per day of magnesium chelate lysinate glycinate. I felt like a different person within 48 hours. Interestingly I found this pubmed article shortly therafter which described exactly my experience:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16542786/

The doses in the study are way above the standard RDA.

Other than that exercise makes a huge difference for me. I try to do the stair climber for 5 mins each morning and get my heart rate up, and then just walk outside or on the treadmill for 30 to 60 mins right after. If I go more than 2 days without doing that I generally start to feel like crap again. That has made a big difference. Feel free to pm me, happy to discuss, and kudos to you for speaking up about your experiences and asking for help.
Those interesting conversations are so awesome.

Neuro PhD here.

I haven't read the entire paper but this citations stands out:
> Fungi also exhibit trains of action-potential-like spikes, detectable by intracellular and extracellular recordings

Action potentials are the fundamental signaling mechanism used by neurons [1]. Think of them as an electrical signal that a cell actively propagates. Lots of cells use electrical potentials for signaling; however, most of them spread gradually or passively. Action potentials on the other hand the cell actively expends energy to send information quickly.

Really cool to see convergent biology (my personal guess) here. I can only imagine what new things we're going to learn about fungi and mycelium in the next few decades. In all seriousness mushrooms COULD be conscious.

I'm not sure we can blame the average person here. From https://www.apple.com/apple-cash/ :

> Apple Cash is the simple and secure way to spend money with your iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad. Easily make purchases with Apple Pay and send and receive money right in Messages.

Am I purchasing with Cash or Pay here?

They also seem to have you use Apple Pay to use Apple Cash:

> How do I send money with Apple Cash?

> In Messages, tap the Apple Pay button, enter an amount on the keypad, and tap Pay.

I haven't used the feature so maybe it's less confusing than it's described in their marketing literature. (They do go on to explain the difference a bit further in the page, to their credit).
I can name a couple of other blocking issues:

- political will

- perceived lack of funds

Without the political will, this will not move. In America, we don't even have the political will to fund a social safety net on par with other industrialized nations. I would bet my money that no American living today will see UBI in America.
I refer to it as a chorded editor. Of course there is viper mode.
This is just my story, not a medical advice. I have been talking to a therapist weekly for a couple of years. Some time ago he suggested I try talking to a psychiatrist and maybe try some SSRIs. I did just that and throughout 2021 I was on 10mg of Lexapro daily. It helped my mood tremendously. It was even better than I imagined.

As for the side effects, it wasn't too bad. Lower sex drive for sure, but not non-existent. Slight paranoia for a day or two in the first week, but not after. Towards the end of the year I was getting some fatigue during the day, but that might have been long covid as well.

After a year of taking them my doctor decided to try tapering them off over a month period. I did that and since January 2022 I've been feeling very well, libido is back. Probably no side effects of withdrawal, or slight enough to be indistinguishable from daily life. Now it's been ~3 months and I'm still feeling good, no relapse at all.

All in all - 9/10, would recommend to a friend. Although I'm just one person and surely other people have some horror stories to share...
In my experience, GitHub actions is equally flaky
We also have a constant influx of new drivers from other areas, so local norms don't have time to gel.

Indeed, I started with VIM when I was in uni and things were kinda slow. After a few weeks/months I was very happy with it and it truly felt as a productivty booster. (I switched between VSCode with vim keybindings and Neovim). Then, for last year's AoC I wanted to explore Lisp, so after weeks of trying out sbcl and running it thru the terminal I finally tried Doom Emacs. And for me too, its been a journey, its a "text editor" that truly exemplifies what a good 40yo+ piece of software should be.
