The French-Canadian dub of The Simpsons is at least as good as the original.

https://twitter.com/matttomic/status/1158910781964083201

The Japanese dub from what I've seen is surprisingly okay, but also kind of wordy, which they make up for by speaking faster than usual. (But they have the guy who does all the anime priests as Rev. Lovejoy.)
Wow. And the lead researcher was a scientist and mother who lost her child and didn't like the answer she was given, and decided to find the right one. For those who don't want to dig into the article, there is a defect in the infants' part of the brain (the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)) that controls arousal from sleep, so that if the baby stops breathing, they won't awake like others would.
What about when clean energy is negatively priced would you be ok using bitcoin miners to make it more economical then?
It will need to become more stable, certainly, but I think that's a function of how the market interacts with it. If the majority of Nano is being priced based on speculation through exchanges, it will continue to have this kind of volatility. But if money continues to enter the system via other use-cases, aka its actual utility, volatility will diminish. Pricing becomes less about speculating on it as an asset and more about utility as a means of transaction.

The reason you don't see this with other cryptos, by the way, is that their utility is severely limited (in a technical sense) and therefore the underlying value is entirely speculative.
Ask HN: How to build a career in systems-level open source tech?
Hi, I am a software developer in my early 20s and have a degree in Computer Science. Most developer jobs (including my current job) seem to be just about using frameworks to build and maintain apps as per the requirements, with the difficult stuff mostly abstracted away by frameworks.

I do not find this very interesting, and over the next few years, I want to transition to jobs involving design and implementation at the lower-level of the tech stack, or in other words, I want to work on the (mostly open-source) low-level infrastructure instead of a commercial app. Some recent examples of such low-level work I can think of, are: Linux kernel development, sanitizers and static analysis in GCC and Clang, new languages and their compilers and tools (Rust, Go, WebAssembly, etc), regular improvements in web browser engines, databases features.

I would appreciate any advice on how to transition to this kind of work, given that such jobs are very few in number and require highly specialized knowledge, compared to a generic app developer role.

PS. I am outside the US.
> What real math is involved in predicting the stock market?

1. Stock market valuation has a fairly tidy theoretical foundation that is not too much use in practice for prediction. (It is used for IPOs etc. in some form, when a market price hasn't been established yet.) It involves basic algebra, along the lines of sum_t=1^infty D/(1+r)^t = D/r, etc.

Fisher Black (of Black-Scholes fame) memorably wrote: "An efficient market is one in which price is within a factor 2 of value", where price = market price, and value = true value, as determined by that tidy formula assuming you had all the correct inputs, which you don't.

2. Similar for FX and Rates, though there is a bit more to it.

3. In derivatives, you have much more sophisticated maths (stochastic processes, Ito calculus, PDEs, Monte Carlo). Its focus is not so much prediction of the future, but a) deducing the true current state of the market from observable prices, and then b) from that true state deduce the price of derivative products, and c) computing risks (partial derivatives), which then lets you d) synthesise these derivative products. But that's not very relevant here.

4. Trying to predict the market is a whole other ballgame. You can work with time series analysis, regression and more sophisticated statistical methods and ML, and use any number of inputs: price history, company fundamentals, macro fundamentals, text/sentiment analysis, order book (market micro structure), etc.

Funny thing about this business is that there's a lot written about it, but those that have figured it out use it to make money, and don't write about it.

5. Now, cryptography involves real maths, but entirely different again, mostly number theory (such as n^p = n (mod p), for p prime).

GP might have been complaining that many vociferous crypto bros lack the basics to understand the mathematical foundations of cryptography. Though, I must say, I think one can understand e.g. hash functions and asymmetric encryption etc. quite well from their functionality alone, without needing to understand the math behind it (just as you don't need to understand transistors to understand what a NAND gate does).
IIRC there was am ANSI/FIPS standard which was dropped under the bill clinton's administration, which is when things started to diverge.

(Info from memory, may be wrong or a bit mangled)
What? That's exactly what happened in 2014!
yes. people see crypto as scams until they actually learn about real world usage.

try sending money anywhere in the world by going to your bank.

also, everyone pretends that the current financial system is perfect and works just fine until it all of a sudden does not work for them.

are there scams out there? yes. are there a bazillion cryptocurrencies, some of which make 0 sense? yes.

Is crypto as a whole a bad thing? hard no.

My cat had (likely) something similar and needed to regularly be given subcutaneous saline fluid. He learned pretty quick to associate me stabbing him, with him feeling better. That kind of thing becomes easy once you get into the routine.
I am not an expert in cars and yet I know the Renault Zoe was commercialized in 2012, the year of the model S, for a reasonable autonomy and a much, much cheaper price. I believe tesla were the first to sell low volume, pricey EV cars.
Their range and timing advance is only because of choosing the rich over the middle class, aka a lesser impact. Although it's true EV were and remain not cheap but it's getting quickly much better and it's definitely not tesla that will lead the dance of democratisation

I firmly believe that isolation is the future of endpoint security and I like experimenting with Mandatory Access Control (MAC) on Linux. Tomoyo is my favorite major MAC/LSM in the Linux kernel.

If you have a newer kernel (5.13 or greater), you may like to experiment with landlock. It's pretty cool and unlike FireJail, no suid required. Here's a landlock wrapper for Firefox:

It's confusing because wealth in this case is based on valuation, which in the case of Tesla is based entirely on what some people think the company will do, monetarily, in the future. In my mind, Bill Gates is truly richer than Elon, because he has a diversified portfolio and could convert more of his holdings into other, different holdings, with less friction.

Oh, there's lots of options.

There's the gold standard. There are an estimated 250,000 tons of gold in the world, with estimated reserves of 60,000 tons. (https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-gold-has-been-found-world) Unfortunately, quite a lot of that is tied up in things like jewelry which is fixable, I suppose. And world gold production (https://www.statista.com/statistics/238414/global-gold-produ...) has roughly matched gross world product growth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_world_product#Recent_gro...) over the last few years. On the other hand, when gold production starts going to zero while economic activity continues to grow, you get deflation and financial collapse, so, yeah.

There's a silver standard and multi-metallic standards, and I'm really hoping there's a hilarious story behind this sentence from wikipedia: "Great Britain accidentally adopted a de facto gold standard in 1717 when Sir Isaac Newton, then-master of the Royal Mint, set the exchange rate of silver to gold too low, thus causing silver coins to go out of circulation." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard) (Apparently, the US's introduction to the gold standard was also accidental, caused by the 1849 California gold rush.) Unfortunately, those systems didn't prevent a crash about every decade. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis#19th_century)

Or you could let things float, like exactly nobody else does. I'm sure that won't be rife with corruption, bank failures, and its own boom and bust cycles.
I’m not glad, I’m a little bit disappointed that such marvelous software tools (blockchain, crypto, algorithms, protocols…) are being used as profit/investment tools, like stocks, forex, commodities and all the rest. I wanted a market/ecosystem where the cryptocoins would be used to make our lives easier, free from banking restrictions, cheaper than existing systems and serving a good cause. Instead I see people investing in every shitcoin/NFT that pops up, with the hope that will get a 1000x return :-(

Oh, definitely. Folks that say there isn't a frequent use case for format pasting are simply working under different conditions. But while I use it frequently, it's probably more common for me to just want plain text and I would prefer that to be the default.
I just want to go on the record here and say that if the FBI did in fact buy Pegasus from NSO. Possession and/or continued use of that tool is a violation of US law.

If you or a colleague are working secretly on such a program, please come forward today. Whistleblower protections are available.

The irony of saying that about the FBI is not lost on me.

re: The Golden Compass (sic)

Not only did the American editors change the title, but the device in question – the alethiometer, which is not a compass – is made of brass not gold in the original text. The US editors basically changed it to gold to fit their created title.
To be fair, ants have not created humanity. I don't think it's inconceivable for a friendly AI to exist that "enjoys" protecting us in the way a friendly god might. And given that we have AI (well, language models...) that can explain jokes before we have AI that can drive cars, AI might be better at understanding our motives than the stereotypical paperclip maximizer.

However, all of this is moot if the team developing the AI does not even try to align it.
Another way to save the post-processing approach that would probably be easier than testing for something already up there would be to lower the top coordinate of the polygon of the white background by subtracting font-size. That would give you some new space on top for the text that should be free of anything else.

(Probably need slightly more than font-size, in case parts of some characters descend below the baseline).

Solar is by far the cheapest source of energy ever fielded, followed closely by wind. Nukes are among the most expensive still in common use.

If you are hearing that nuke power is cheap, you are being lied to. Just now, nukes are about even with solar and wind backed with natural gas if, but only if, you ignore their capital cost. But solar and wind costs are still falling.

Once renewables have been built out enough to be able to displace other energy sources, they will need to be supplemented with storage. (Before, there is no point: charging storage from fossil fuels would be counterproductive.) Storage cost is on the same exponential free-fall we saw for solar and wind, so that when time comes to start building out storage, renewables + storage will be cheaper than solar alone, today.

Use Spyfu, SEMrush, or Google's keyword planning tool to see how much they charge for ads on keywords related to your content. Since you know the traffic (and hopefully your SERPs) you can estimate the total traffic for your site and competitor sites. This will give you a feel for the market. Reach out to the owners of comparable sites (not your competitors) to see how much they are making in ad revenue (Aka if you do shoes, talk to the people that do boots)

Using all of these supplementary data sources determine the possible annual revenue of the site (within a range of outcomes). Take that number and value it like a business (Revenue, costs, etc) and charge a reasonable multiple for what it would earn the new owner in the next 3-5 years (3x - 5x ARR is standard for service businesses, products can be higher). I would also recommend adding a 20%-40% increase on whatever your number is to aid in your negotiations.

Good Luck
I believe that if you are sufficiently high on an international watch list E2E is mostly useless. The way the Russian invasion of Ukraine was so accurately telegraphed by the US was a demonstration to me of how powerful our intelligence apparatus is.

As far as I'm concerned every cellular device is probably backdoored through the baseband, telecoms have long worked hand in hand with the USG, and the pressure that the US has put on allies to boycott Huwei RF hardware only strengthened that claim. If you are, say, a head of ISIS, my guess is that your phone already has keyloggers on it.

This whole conversation is a microcosm of US politics in that both sides are completely unwilling to compromise on their position.

Nothing is saying that you couldn't roll a "right to privacy" into legislation, say that anyone who provides a messaging system isn't allowed to analyze those messages, and any read/write action has to be instigated by or in service to either the user or a warrant. Add massive fines as a percent of revenue or significant prison time for violations. Wouldn't that be a win/win?

You could then treat E2E encryption like other military assets, civilians need to register and pass a background check. If you have a driver's license in the US you sign away your right to not take a drug test, similarly you could sign away your right not to tell law enforcement your password. Corporations could make being licensed for E2E a hiring bar just like military clearance.

All this is dependent on my (some might say naive) view that the US is ultimately a democracy(and has a strong history of it) and as a result is unlikely to go fully off the rails. I really don't worry about the USG snooping on me, (why would I? seriously) but I literally just last week heard about the young daughter of an acquaintance of an acquaintance getting kidnapped.
Very interesting idea - I'd be wary of this rubbing the wrong way against AWS's TOS though.
I don't disagree with you, and I think that what you're saying is critical; but it feels more and more like we are shifting the goalposts. 5 years ago; recognizing a cat and describing a cat in an image would be incredible impressive. Now, the demands we are making and the expectations we keep pushing feel like they are growing as if we are running away from accepting that this might actually be the start of AGI.

I don't know what drugs you're on but I'd like some. Seriously. That stuff is prime quality if you actually believe this.

Seriously? Crypto is to blame for the inflation? Not the reckless money printing that has been going on for years?

Power demand did not go up faster than the power companies can handle it. The whole grid is designed to have a certain capacity and there is also a financial level power companies can use to regulate consumption (if consumption spikes, price will spike to). So the whole power demand is also grade A BS.

If bitcoin goes away tomorrow and we miraculously get all the power that was used back we're still f'ed as far as global warming and financial markets go.
Yes. Housing is expensive for the same reason bitcoin is expensive, not because of scarcity.
I don't particularly like cryptocurrency. It's clear that the utopian vision has not panned out: these aren't currencies, they're securities.

But seeing people lose their life savings is just sad. I completely understand people's rationale for taking the crypto bait. Many people bought into something that they didn't understand, motivated by the "standard" financial system failing them completely.

This isn't joyful to watch, it's sad. As it turns out, the return on cryptocurrency isn't good, when you factor in the risk. The biggest bummer about this is that it was entirely preventable: we have an existing framework of securities regulation, created when all of this (suicides included!) happened with traditional financial instruments 100 years ago in 1929.
I would also suggest the Storybots series. There are some amazing cameos by Snoop Dog and Weird All Yancovic among others.
I’m sure Win/Mac/Lin all support multiple formats in their clipboard that can be requested by the apps upon paste.

To support this should also be standard key combinations that allow the user to paste plain text or rich text as needed. I often want to paste plain text but I’m OK if I need to use an additional modifier for that. I can see reasons why most people expect a rich text result based on history so I don’t think it is worth disrupting that precedent. Those of us, to whom it matters can adapt.

Apps should also provide clipboard controls to chose the paste format. Sometimes there are additional paste types that would be relevant. Some apps, like the MS Office apps do this but it is not universal.
There is a very large organization out there who pays in those dollars and demands taxes in those dollars. If you want to live in a certain piece of dirt, you will deal with that organization.

That dirt is very tangible. So is the vast organization running that dirt: it builds roads, runs a military, and (in extreme cases) sends out people with guns if you don't pay those taxes.

That makes those dollars pretty darn tangible.

We don't have a good way to measure harm, let alone be able to compare it between contexts. So we just don't know to be honest.

All I know is memory loss, and needing to take a 2 year work leave sounds pretty bad. You're only hesitant to recognize this because you don't understand the cause. If I told you it turned out there was lead exposure in the office, now you probably would find it terrible. One day we'll hopefully understand the cause and effect of such thing, and the behaviors or whatever it could be, still might be caused by actual toxins who knows, but when you do, you'll similarly go, I can't believe they allowed this to go on when we know it causes memory loss and traumatic brain disabilities. Even if it's only on certain individuals, you'd be appalled to know some restaurant willingly served peanuts to someone allergic wouldn't you?
