My understanding was dopamine has the effect of stopping the eyeball from growing longer, which is released during exercise in the presence of bright sunlight. Hence a sedentary and indoor setting make you more prone to Myopia.

I don't have time to find a reference, but I have read research which shows that our eyes tend to grow longer when we are having any sort of trouble focusing, which is often the case with a weakened prescription or in dim light. As a result I stopped ordering slightly weaker glasses for myself and moved my office to a brighter room in the house.

Despite all that, my Myopia seems to be getting worse, wearing the appropriate glasses that ensure sharp focus for distance vision and ones that are less straining with a negative SPH value for computer work (hobby/weak reading glasses etc). I also have some astigmatism which my glasses are completely correcting now.

I would love for medical science to discover the means to reverse myopia, it seems like a solvable problem involving signalling/conditions which causes the eye morphology to change.
Because they're decontextualized. I'd posit that in the context of small organizations most of those murders are a product of deliberate and known risk. Given that, one could liken it to mutual combat at the ethical and social levels. That isn't the whole scope of the matter but the aggregate data would, I suspect, reflect a considerably different picture if it was investigated at such a resolution. Of particular interest would be infidelity and how that fits into the context of a given social order.
Thanks for that feature, I love using it to see discussion of the same content in different communities. It really helps make reddit feel like the front page of the internet, with multiple communities commenting on what's going on every day. If there was one thing I wish was improved about it it would be canonicalization, so that m.wikipedia.com and wikipedia.com articles are connected, or youtube.com and youtu.be links
It is _now_ that a 15yro and a 10yro _may_ be considered consensual if no other factors come into play, like authority. However, the court would have to examine it on a case-by-case basis.

Previously, it was _assumed_ that consent occurred. Such as in the case I pointed out - the court struggled to say there was not willing engagement between a 28 yro and an 11 yro.

Historically speaking, France has some of the loosest laws around consent in the world.
I'm already paying an order of magnitude more for the same facilities I'd get in states that are less dense than California.

At least out here, things are so screwy that minor details like cost of materials are rounding error.

Will happily pay for atmospheric carbon recapture, which covers the biggest externality.

Also, like most other commenters from the west coast, I'd live in one of the cities if they weren't littered with human waste, and if they had reasonable public schools.

Crimping ethernet is a mandatory tech skill for every geeky homeowner. It's not that hard, but there's a few things it takes a while to figure out are really important. Once you do that, you can do it really consistently.

Wireless is nice and all. Powerline ethernet is great when it works out of the box, and a Kafkaesque nightmare when it does not.

Yes, Lisp itself abandoned the idea of car, cdr, and cons as the foundation of all data structures about 50 years ago. On the other hand, many languages further from Lisp than Python or JS did adopt the idea of car, cdr, and cons as the foundation of some data structures, notably Prolog, OCaml, Standard ML, F#, and Haskell.

That's a good point. I think there's also the question of us this really the result of what people prefer? Maybe there are other inefficiencies that are not non-market forces that caused this.
Periscope was a brilliant streaming app. And one of the first that you could write messages to people who were streaming.

It was an incredibly intimate experience to write something, and see people in the video you're watching, react to it live. Seems normal now, with so many streaming apps, but periscope was the first I saw on mobile do this well.

Eventually, the big apps implemented it too (Facebook, Snapchat... Instagram). Which killed Periscope...
I don't think so. The big subs have their own culture that's not as shared with the smaller subs. It's part of the reason why (and corollary to) subs get worse when they get larger

> (will politely side-step the pitfall of debating whether music was better 40 years ago!)

I don't think you'll have many takers here suggesting that things were magically better 40 years ago. (We know about survivorship bias and that there was less of the design space search so much more novelty/amazing).

I do think we've gotten a few more axes of exploration but also have in the mainline of music has gotten much more homogenous in some ways as well, which is kinda sad.

Sophisticated tools are a bit of a trap. People tend to create in ways that their tools make easier. Tastes evolve around what's being created. And tools evolve to match those tastes, which in turn really optimizes everything to a specific local maximum. And tools cause loss of skills and dependency upon the tooling.
That quote is literally a quote of the parent post- I read it as sarcasm, rather than a genuine belief (that this thread appears to be reading as literal and hence, projecting).

The fact is, this person was clearly also the victim of violence and chose to move out because they, specifically, were not safe. There's nothing dog-whistle about it.

The nearest metro to me just had a city council meeting to discuss snow plow drivers complaining about being shot at while on the job, and their struggles in hiring other city workers who are being harassed. Their response was to recommend trauma counselling to those who were shot at.

Many people who are comfortable not living in a city (even if they would prefer it) move out when they realize they have to raise their kids there. If inner cities were as safe, clean and friendly as my rural community, I too might never have moved out. Instead, I realized that only one of my neighbors ever showed the slightest interest in talking to me, were frequently rude, and few people walked anywhere alone. In the years I've left, carjackings, theft and vandalism have gotten so much worse- to the point that in some formerly "safe" neighborhoods, you couldn't lock your car door when parking on the street because if thieves couldn't open the handle, they'd just smash a window to get in.

Life isn't perfect out in the country, but there is literally nothing about living in a big city that is attractive enough to make me want to go back to that.

I watched the CCC video and I understand that he found a security flaw that makes it less secure that appears, but it still takes as long to brute force as AES 128, right? So by "practical" he lowered the brute force by a lot, but still not enough to realistically brute force it. It would have been nice if he mentioned the naive key space and what he reduced it to.
Since other array languages are being brought up already, here are two things K does that you won't find anywhere else in the APL family as far as I know:

- Dicts (same as hashmaps, associative arrays, etc.) are a native datatype, with `ab`cd!0 1 indicating a dict mapping symbols `ab and `cd to 0 and 1, for example. In K4 and later (ngn/k implements K6), array primitives work on them to do all sorts of fancy things. For example prefix &, "where", returns the indices of any 1s in an array. If given a dict, it gives you the keys corresponding to 1s.

- Partial application. If you have a function f of two arguments, f[;x] binds the second argument x to f, but leaves the first one unbound. So f[;x][y] is f[x;y]. But that's not nearly all: arrays, dicts, and functions are unified, so if fs is a list of one-argument functions, then fs[;x] applies each function to x. This is because fs[;x][i] is fs[i;x] or fs[i][x]!

ngn/k is the best implementation to use now in my opinion. It's short on documentation, but the K Wiki is a new and very nice resource for K. Maybe start with the list of all primitives at https://k.miraheze.org/wiki/Primitives .
the American style of suburb is quite unusual compared to e.g. Europe though, and AFAIK is driven by zoning laws and car-centric infrastructure more so than by consumer choice. Markets don't necessarily offer people what they want, people's imaginations are often constrained by what's available on the market. Something something, "faster horses".

First big concussion I got was me walking home at night. I was living right in the centre of town, a few minutes from a grocery store. You know, like how people on HN moralise we should all do.

Three people jumped out of a car, beat me up and left. It was a gang initiation thing - beat up a random civilian and get to the first rank, or something. After that concussion I was a lot more susceptible to other concussions.

Can't make an NYC analogue - do people feel safe there walking at all hours of the night by themselves, even in dark areas? If so great, maybe that's a place I'd live too, like Tokyo or Taipei.

> hyperopic patients. They don't become myopic with time

As a farsighted person who didn't get glasses until I was 30... I only wish it was as easy as sitting and waiting a few years.

Most of the advice in tech circles is about myopia, so whenever I see something like this I like to imagine the opposite advice to see if it would cure me in the opposite direction. Should I stare at something less than 20cm away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes? I don't think either near or far-sighted people are going to heal themselves with internet advice
The great thing is you can upgrade the cable in future for newer technologies (eg. over a decade ago I bought used Mellanox equipment cheaper than 10G and ran fiber drops).

And then everyone clapped...

I grew up "free range" and looking around where I live this is still the predominant approach to parenting. So I really can't relate to the vibe in this whole thread. (all in Massachusetts and Maine btw)

That being said, the last thing my "free range" friends and I wanted growing up was some weirdo adult observing our "unstructured freeplay". As soon as we determined this lady wasn't a cop we would have created a lot of reasons for her to leave. Kids aren't monkeys in a zoo for you to observe lady, move along or get some feces in your face.

It's interesting I so often see the discussion of AI in the context of what a singular model can or can't do.

This seems myopic.

Our own brains have specialized areas. Someone who has a stroke impacting Broca's region isn't going to have a fun time trying to do what that region was specialized for.

And as a society, I don't think we'd have gotten very far if every individual was expected to perform every task.

Where generalization in AI seems like the holy grail is not in replacing more specialized models, but in orchestrating them.

As impressive as this effort at generalization is, unless the work here is going to translate into orchestration and management of other specialized models, I don't think this is going to have much market relevance unless the generalized approach can somehow (in that generalization) gain an advantage in outperforming specialized approaches.
I cunningly bought TWTR at the top too and thus was hoisted by mine own petard. basically as a retail investor I have no leverage so all in all I'm happy to just get my money returned.
Cycling in NYC is indeed very dangerous (I do it every day). That being said, I've done it for about 20 years now and I haven't gotten a concussion.

I concur. I got mine done 5 years ago and still marvel nearly every day at how clear my vision is. The hedonic treadmill has yet to detract from the pure joy of not wearing glasses and having crystal clear vision. I am a huge proponent!

That doesn't seem right. Sperm and eggs are created by cell division too. In some sense you come from a line of cells that extends long before your birth. If cell division "wore out" after some number of divides you should be already worn out.
Shotgun approach.

Also as Netflix loses third-party programming they probably don't want to be seen as a barren wasteland.

Personally I don't have a problem with the mediocre shovelware originals so much as their itchy cancellation trigger finger that doesn't seem to give shows with devoted but small audiences enough of a chance to grow over a few seasons and at least finish their main story arcs. People are less likely to watch a series that simply ends on a permanent cliffhanger.

Netflix seems to be searching for the next Stranger Things and less willing to accept a spectrum of cult/niche hits.
The latter is, but that's only if you want to use Wayland. Xpra offers persistent sessions behind a single command, and uses SSH by default.
Ask HN: Those who rely on donations, Has inflation reduced your patrons?
Open-source developers, creators, artists and many others rely on donations from people who who pay for their work even when they don't have to.

If you are one of those who rely on donations, How has inflation affected you and What's your plan to survive it?

A lot of times false precision bugs me but here I think you are comparing fine differences and need a bit more.

What I want from an edit button is just a convenient UI for deleting and resubmitting a tweet with small changes. Right now the UX for that is really bad - if I want to fix a typo I have to copy my tweet text, then reopen the tweet / reply box, paste in the text, edit it, and then re-add any attachments I had included (together with any accessibility text). And doing all this is even more difficult on mobile than on desktop.
Finite supply doesn't even matter anymore since exchanges are now operating like banks with fractional reserves, loans and everything. Through credit they can inflate away the value of cryptocurrencies as much as they want. The entire financial system was reinvented on top of bitcoin, it's the worst possible outcome.
Portugal has been extremely popular with the nomad community too. A good dozen of friends of mine have already moved there through NHR and lots more are in the works. There are also projects like rebase.co, which make things super easy to set up base in the country. It seems like it's getting to a point where Portugal so popular, it might steer people away from itself instead.
Worrying about what the comment rabble on HN will "appreciate" is no useful barometer for success in progressing through life.
All of this is of course backed by sound science right?
We used to deal with it, but it was considered inhumane (forced care). A social worker I know does her best to get homeless people into mental health care, but most refuse either out of fear of being locked up, or fear of having to quit their addictions.

Depending on what codec your headphones use when talking to a Mac, a mere second of latency is a good result.

The only thing you can do is use apps like IINA which have delay features to allow you to account for the latency (I needed to use sound delay recently when watching a movie that fell off the back of a truck, even with Airpods).

The future might be brighter, with Apple seemingly designing its own bespoke wireless sound standard to support uncompressed and latency-free headphones.
I'm enjoying experimenting with Duckdb from python, it's a promising product and has a large list of data formats it can read, including pandas dataframes from in-memory with zero-copy. However its still quite the moving target, with a number of things not at maturity yet. e.g. the TimestampZ column type isn't implemented yet [1], although it is in the documentation.

I guess that's true. But maybe those projects should have been done in C++ (or ML or something) instead of Lisp in the first place, because the things that Lisp is good at are very much not the things C++ is good at. They're the things Python, Java, and JS are good at. As Perlis wrote in the Foreword to SICP:

> Pascal is for building pyramids—imposing, breathtaking, static structures built by armies pushing heavy blocks into place. Lisp is for building organisms—imposing, breathtaking, dynamic structures built by squads fitting fluctuating myriads of simpler organisms into place. The organizing principles used are the same in both cases, except for one extraordinarily important difference: The discretionary exportable functionality entrusted to the individual Lisp programmer is more than an order of magnitude greater than that to be found within Pascal enterprises. ... To illustrate this difference, compare the treatment of material and exercises within this book with that in any first-course text using Pascal.

You can easily substitute "C++" for "Pascal" here and "Python" or "JS" for "Lisp", and indeed a JS translation of SICP has been completed, including a column-by-column comparison: https://sicp.sourceacademy.org/chapters/5.2.3.html
Sfp isn't copper vs fiber. It's just the standard for a modular plug on network hardware.

They have 25gbe twinax SFP28s that, as far as I'm aware, have essentially identical performance specs to using optical SFP28s with fiber. The fiber is thinner and can go further, but it also is more fragile and limited on bends. Latency is almost entirely driven by the switch and the NIC.

Photons in fiber do not move meaningfully faster than signals in copper, and speed of light in short datacenters runs is not the limiting factor In latency. Any meaningful processing will happen in electronics and converting from copper to fiber introduces more latency.

There's a good paper on it here: https://www.commscope.com/globalassets/digizuite/2799-latenc...

Tldr coax actually is faster (0.77c) than optical fiber (0.67c).
You should be using mosh regardless.

It's tiresome seeing such a pointed motive behind copyright reform but nonetheless I wish him all the luck.

The force for making copyright terms longer and longer is money. The opposite force is those pushing for public good (basically voiceless).

I praise any and all movements to revert term lengths to something closer to the 14 years we originally had. The current life of the author plus 95 years is outrageous.
I wore glasses for 20+ years before adopting contacts at age 30. I had to learn how to change focus because the depth of field is less compressed than it is with glasses. It was a notable effort for the first few weeks until my eyes adapted.

Now I have early stage presbyopia which is only an issue for reading small text. I'm grateful I can just pop out the lenses and get spectacular near vision when I need it. It's great for watching video on a 5" cell phone because you can hold it close enough to fill your field of view and don't have to support the mass of a larger phone when lying down.
Bot removal is going to grind to a halt if it turns out that bots were also clicking on ads though.

Researchers identify bots by anomalous clustering behavior - there's probably some human accounts in there, but bots follow bots because they're a quorum which is optimized for "followers" in order to try and lure in real human users.

But AFAIK there's no data from Twitter (for obvious reasons) on whether suspected bot accounts have ad-revenue activity: and they might. If a crackdown happens the first defense mechanism will be for bot operators to add more human mimic activity.

I suspect at the moment they probably don't - after all why do more work - though conversely this is the sort of thing I personally would implement if I was trying to stay ahead of anti-botting measures.
