I can't really see this having use in a high-tech military. The main differentiator of contemporary technologized militaries is their incredible logistics and coordination capacities, which have a very hard dependency on knowing your own location. They know this obviously and so those systems are robust and redundant already.

When those systems and their backups fail you're into like, "hide and wait for help" or even straight up sere training shit, because the entire thing that makes you a powerful force rather than just a guy with a gun is gone. Knowing which way is north is not gonna solve your problem at that point. Knowing "which way to the supply cache" might but if that piece of tech is still working probably so is your normal radio and gps.

Why does opaque bad research form psychology, social sciences or paleoclimatology constantly gets media attention and support? I absolutely do not believe it has anything to do with notation.

And let’s be real. If you couldn’t understand sigma notation in school, the chances that you would comprehend complex science are very low no matter what kind of verbiage or, as it often would be more apt to say, verbal garbage it is wrapped in.

I absolutely agree with you that oftentimes bad research is disguised with ten dollar words. And oftentimes it is disguised with convenient agenda (no matter how true or good this agenda is by itself). But I don’t believe it has anything to do with Greek letters.

Oh sure the technical outcome is great, but this kind of output (ie. hugely gender biased) is extremely problematic. Saying "oh the input screwed it" is very very naughty. This kind of tool will be used. If it's used it will do damage becuase it's damaging as it is.

Really? I rip 4K UHD so I can toss the disc and their crap software in the attic and typically I get 60-80GB per movie. From what I understand, these are 100GB discs right? Are they seriously cutting corners on the quality? If this is the case, now I am royally pissed. I am paying a premium to avoid the Netflix/Streaming compressed garbage and to know that they cut corners here when the whole point is about uncompromised quality...well that is just another blow to any shred of trust I have in these companies.

Oh sure; I'm 100% in favor of obsessing over power efficiency in the name of keeping your device running cool or making the battery last longer. I intended only to say that at least phones and laptops are, as far as I can see, basically irrelevant for climate/grid-power purposes.
There have been a series of forks, for example: https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad2

They seem to add a lot of features, though ... I'd be interested to find a more minimal one, which mostly just updates language syntaxes and OS support, and the thankless minor bug squashing ...
I was trying to paint the picture that recruiters are held to the same moral standards towards their candidates that fishermen are to fish. No one criticizes fishermen for using lures that look good but are not food.
It's cute how they focus on the tiny town of Zwijndrecht, but conveniently forget to mention the large (by Belgian standards) city of Antwerp, which is within spitting distance from the plant, and which sits by the river in which 3M dumps its waste. Political shenanigans have prevented widespread testing of people and soil in Antwerp, but the results are pretty much guaranteed to be bad.

This is akin to writing about pollution in Union City, while conveniently forgetting to mention that NYC is on the other side of the river.

Hunters complain bitterly about GPS ruining their night vision, and all those gadgets using up heavy batteries.

Soldiers have it even worse, carrying, literally, pounds of batteries, sometimes tens of. Anything that works without needing to produce power-burning, night-vision destroying light they have to look at, and weighing them down, is a huge benefit.

Show HN: Gomarvin: generate custom boilerplate for Go REST servers
Ehh... i live by the panhandle, and many of the common concerns are present here as well. People are just used to the idea of never leaving anything in their car, ever, and that smashed windows are just part of the costs of owning a car. I call 311 to report used needles laying on the sidewalk multiple times a year.

My gf lives near Castro, and she got her rear window smashed (nothing stolen because nothing in the car), and had to clean up a pile of human shit on her lower stoop, both this year alone.

I love SF, but I'm not one of those people who pretends this is normal. This biggest misconception is danger. It's a very safe city, that said, the anti-social behavior is really, really totally unbelievable to me. Only comparable to other west coast cities really.

Depends on how much compromise you want.

For minimal compromise, you'd write it in Rust/C/C++ with a GUI toolkit that leverages the native stylesheet to render everything out. It'll be fast, it will run cross-platform, and it will take forever to build. However, this is the """right""" way to do it, and the one that people will complain least about. There's a number of tools that are distributed this way, but again, it's a pain.

For medium compromise, you'd probably end up with a runtime like Java or dotnet. These runtimes have well-established, long-running GUI projects that seek to tackle this exact issue, and for most people they balance ease of development, speed and "good enough" UI. It's not perfect, but a lot of one-man dev teams will end up choosing this when they want to get on every platform with a native-enough UI.

For maximum compromise, you can ship Electron with JS bindings to a native UI. This sucks. Please don't do this. It's an option though, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it. It's barely better than just putting a website in a desktop runtime, and if you aren't careful you can end up making it a whole lot worse.

It's definitely possible to do, though. If you want to charge money for your application, I should hope you're building a minimal-compromise program.
Becoming a Full-Time Creator as a Software Engineer: Controversial Advice
I know many, many people who commute daily from Pennsylvania and West Virginia to DC. York and Harper's Ferry are short commutes. I know more than one Bucks County resident who make the trip.
This is a problem that also exists in many Flatpaks: plenty of applications get carte-blanche access to the OS filesystem, and "breaking out" with symlinks or chained attacks has proven trivial over the years. There are so many of these exploits that they simply stopped patching them after a certain point. Isolation is much better provided by other tools like Firejail.
“If we define understanding as human understanding, then AI systems are very far off,”

This took me into the following line of thought. If we wanted AGI we probably should give this neural networks an overarching goal, the same way our intelligence evolved in the presence of overarching goals (survival, reproduction...). It's these less narrow goals that allowed us to evolve our "general intelligence". It's possible that if we are trying to construct AGI through the accumulation of narrow goals we are taking the harder route.

At the same time I think we should not pursue AGI the way I'm suggesting is best, too many unknown risks (paperclip problem...)

Of course all this begs the question of what is AGI, how we define a good overarching goal to prompt AGI and many more...
And if it turns out to be true, that godaddy or affiliates just auto-buy domains fitting certain criteria, it should be somewhat easy to exploit that and screw them (or the affiliate)?

I do have a personal godaddy account, since that was the easiest way for me to enter the .co domain auction, so I sometimes look for domains there and buy them on my company registrars website (their interface for finding free domain names sucks...). I've not had the issue with a domain I searched for not being available to buy. And while I've never had that issue with godaddy itself, companies under the Host Europe umbrella have done this to me (meaning search for a domain in a e.g. a Host Europe account, realize I used the wrong account, sign into the partners Domain Factory account and the domain is unavailable).
Partnership for Public Service, a much heralded public/private partnership between MasterCard, Workday (sp?), MSFT that interviews and places cybersec grads into GS roles for 2+ years and then preferred interviews into private sector, were insisting:

GS-7, and max, maybe, but would be hard, GS-11. Experiences of selectees pushing back on that salary due to how low it was vs. the market ($30-$50k) with requirements to live on DC or similar were met with almost disbelief and offense from that org when candidates pushed back, because the program was for "new grads."

Knew someone who turned it down and took a private sector interview/offer going on concurrently for $145k remote, despite providing offer/pay stubs to try at help the GS/PfP teams meet the on-paper salary even remotely close.

This is true, powerful radio transmitters (to the tune of tens of kilowatts) used tubes for their final amp in the 90s. Perhaps still do even.
The things you describe are likely nothing compared to the HVAC, hot water, commute, etc energy requirements that companies are creating by forcing people back into the office.

I don't really see a problem with a weekly scan. Then again, that would be a massive step forward for my company. We have switched mostly to laptops. But until recently most people had a desktop at work and it stayed on continously (per the company policy). I tried suggesting wake on LAN a decade ago. My suggestion was ignored.
I'm skeptical when percentages are named because I remember seeing one study like this where it was like, "homicides are up 10%" and then when I looked, there were 10 homicides last year and 11 the next.
To me it's basically a time vs money choice.

As I get older, I'm less inclined to look into a DIY way to solve a technical problem. Even if it's "not too complex". When I was younger and had more time to kill (aka stay up all night) that was cool. Sometimes I just wanna get a full night of sleep and am fine paying a small fee for access to a tool or service that I don't have to maintain or think about too much.

From the viewpoint of the individual there are different motivations to have sex. Prostitution doesn't satisfy all of them.

From the viewpoint of society prostitution might seem OK in principle but in practice there are safety problems that bring in organized crime and problems with human trafficking that never go away. The market for legal prostitution in Nevada is a lot like the market for legal weed in California, just a pimple on top of a large illegal business.

In 2022 we may be at the nadir of impoverished philosophy. In particular sectors of the "left" try to link "sex work" to "female empowerment" which brings us way back to the concept of alienation from the early Marx. That is, money ruins everything.

We need better ways to think about it. Scale is one of them. When you have 10,000 guys simping to one camgirl you've got a problem. It's going to take a while before it is widely recognized that OnlyFans is more dangerous than traditional pornography. In the meantime the left has to discover some alternatives to neoliberalism.
And this is why my code is GPLv2 and nothing more, I even remove the auto-upgrade clause the FSF wants everyone using v2 to include.
Takeaways from 3 Years Working in Machine Learning
Android literally has the Linux kernel. Can't get more same than that.

Well, in Canada the majority (68.55%) are homeowners, not renters, so no, that's not how it's working. Toronto and Vancouver housing markets are as bad as (or worse than) the Bay Area for housing prices, especially when you factor in people's incomes.

In reality, higher rates or the risk of them puts downward pressure on housing prices. A huge component of the price of homes comes from the easy availability of the actual product: housing loans. Almost everyone out there just gets the biggest mortgage that the bank approves them for. They go to the bank and say "what will you give me" and then go look for prices around that cost. Or get in bidding wars up to that level. And the banks are so underwritten by government guarantees that they're willing to take big risks here. It just drives prices higher and higher.

We never had the 2008 housing price crash that happened in the US, and things have just continued to climb. It's possible that we'll have a huge crash at some point, it's well overdue. But I've given up on waiting for that to happen.
BBEdit from Bare Bones Software is a longstanding Mac text editor in the same vein as Notepad++, though it isn't open source or fully free to use. Bare Bones used to offer a free text editor for Mac called TextWrangler (with fewer features than BBEdit), but I guess they've now made the free mode of BBEdit their free offering.

I like that the Digital Corps exists in theory. I applied many moons ago, I believe during the Obama administration. Service to our country is something I feel is important so I applied to at least see if there was a fit.

When I got to the phone screen, I made a point to ask if recreational cannabis would disqualify you from joining and they confirmed that yes, even if it was recreationally used, a positive cannabis result on a drug test would disqualify you.

Major bummer, but unsurprising. The entire reason I asked was due to how many posts on HN I’ve seen about government agencies having a hard time hiring tech folks for this reason. I have what I believe to be a decently desirable skillset and a lot of tangible experience working in startups AND enterprise companies, and if I had to guess, would have brought some good value to the team.

I hope (but doubt) these policies have relaxed.

These are equivalent statements. Cryptocurrency has very little real utility, so when the fad ends, it is dead.
Shipping a VM makes a lot of sense. I wish there were better off-the-shelf tools for packaging up a web application into an easy-to-deploy, self-managing VM, without trying to stuff the typical cloud complexity (e.g. Kubernetes) into a box.

I don't understand the issues with using a bigger VM, but I have no reason to doubt you.
I understand how you feel definitely. I am a person with a poor memory and multiple Gmail accounts... So sometimes I open up my "All Inboxes" folder in the gmail app to discover that I've given the same website multiple addresses and they've sent out three emails to each :(.

With the click notifications on my phone though, I tend to live and die by them (again, poor memory). I use a lot of calendar and scheduling apps, and in that case the design of the notifications is actually really important to me

Geany is mature and solid, and I like it a lot, especially on Windows. However, I personally bump into some uncomfortable limitations with it.

The pace of the development, including just reacting to issues or PRs is rather slow.

Basic editing functions are few (just compare the contents of the "Edit" submenu with Notepad++). This is partially mitigated by "Send selection to", but a text editor without a simple line sorting?..

The settings for the "Build" submenu is artificially limited. Why just 3 filetype and 3 shared commands? Why not allow changing the keyboard shortcuts for those right in the same window?

No macro or scripting at all. In my view, such programs benefit a lot from having all their actions available as a list of commands which can be used to construct custom chains and scripts or be used setting the keybindings.

Somehow, not all the lexers from lexilla are available? For example, Nim lexer is more than 3 years old (5, if you count lexer for an earlier version then called Nimrod), but Nim settings for Geany still uses the Python lexer.
I don't really see that happening. For one a world war requires well.. the world and its unclear to me how and why Asia would be drawn into this conflict given that there's nothing to gain.

Secondly there is way too much asymmetry between NATO and Russia. Russia is in no state to fight a war against a major power which has become obvious given their military performance in Ukraine.

So the next escalation would be nukes and I have my doubts that they're more likely than the Russian military apparatus straight up deposing Putin should that seem like a credible threat. Russian's top brass has survival instincts too, and not to mention a lot of offspring in Europe and the US.
Yep, "polyamory" is becoming a synonym in the media for "disorganized sexual activity."

Meanwhile you don't see real polyamorists (for whom "love" has something to do with it) in the media because they're boring. You don't see much fiction about them either because they don't have as much conflict as say, "mono" cheaters.

Ah yes, the one reason why everything eventually turns to shit unless it's a nonprofit.

> but they would never offer “all of Twitter data running on our servers and pipelines for free”.

But they are contemplating doing exactly that with the Bluesky project. Not just that, but federation, as in, you'd be able to interact with tweets without a Twitter account, but from an account you host on your own infrastructure.

This is why I'm asking the question in my original comment. These two efforts feel so misaligned to me. If you're going to federate, you could as well provide completely unauthenticated API to access public content — you'll have to anyway.
You can buy outlets with USB ports built in. Long-distance USB would probably have issues with voltage dropping unless you used some beefy cable. Also, USB PD negotiates between individual devices, so you need some extra logic per port instead of just stringing them up in parallel like normal power outlets.
TBH we weren't sure how much people would care. What we've found is that when we build a bucket of value props to solve for a given use case (e.g. eng coworking), different users will find different value props to resonate.

So some people are very glad to save RAM, CPU, etc. Others don't care but love shared music DJing etc...

The growth of remote work, fuelled partly, but not entirely by the pandemic has supercharged our market which is two and a half hours outside the GTA.

> OpenAI is clear about where it stands. “Our aim is to create general intelligence,” says Dhariwal. “Building models like DALL-E 2 that connect vision and language is a crucial step in our larger goal of teaching machines to perceive the world the way humans do, and eventually developing AGI.”

(Emphasis mine.) Philosophical nit: this by definition would not be AGI. AGI would be the ability of the entity to figure out its own subjective qualia-inducing way of interpreting the world. Thomas Nagel already explained this in the 70s (in his famous essay What Is It Like to Be a Bat?). By enforcing our own worldview (technically speaking, model), we're just making some artificial (and in all likelihood inferior) version of a human.
