You mean that genocide that UN courts later decided wasn't actually a genocide[1]?

Yeah... I guess if you are convinced you're on the side of the good guys(tm), you really can't do wrong.

I've seen dozens of examples of this, but I'm still hesitant to brand this to be causality. There seems to be some degree of correlation though.

Smaller communities tend to be more familiar - people recognize each others names, and people have each other's backs, when someone is trolling or something. When things grow beyond a certain size - maybe related to Dunbar's number - the group dynamics change.

In some cases this can lead to the community to loosing coherence or even becoming toxic - but I don't think that's inevitable. I believe it IS possible to grow a community to a larger size and have it stay nice. I think though, that in order to keep a community nice when growing beyond a certain point, some effort is required - effort which wasn't necessary while the group was smaller and kinda self-organized.

Also, growing slowly rather than quickly might help - as newcomers have some time to acclimatize and internalize those unspoken social rules that govern a group's dynamic - and will be able to pass on the knowledge to those coming after. People who join a group will eventually adapt to the group - but that process needs a bit of time.
But when growth is too fast, a newcomer might have more interactions with other newcomers rather than long-standing community members, and thus will adapt to something quite different.
ah! thank you for the clarification. who wants to have to use a dangly adapter for this sort of thing? :-(
Sony xm4 and xm5 have dual connectivity.
In my experience people mostly don't really think about these things too deeply. They see it as an epoch where their country was successful, proud, expanding etc. They look at this very superficially and don't think about the harm caused.

I think this becomes more prevalent the poorer/less significant the country is today compared to their great past. It's the "good old times" phenomenon.
> The obvious solution is thus to achieve some goal with some human constraint.

One of the hard parts is specifying that goal. This is the “outer alignment problem”.

Paperclips per human? That’s maximised by one paperclip divided by zero humans, or by a universe of paperclips divided by one human if NaN doesn’t give a better reward in the physical implementation.

If you went for “satisfied paperclip customers”? Then wirehead or drug the customers.

Then you have the inner alignment problem. There are instrumental goals, things which are useful sub-steps to larger goals. AI can and do choose those, as do us humans, e.g. “I want to have a family” which has a subgoal of “I want a partner” which in turn has a subgoal of “good personal hygiene”. An AI might be given the goal of “safely maximise paperclips” and determine the best way of doing that is to have a subgoal of “build a factory” and a sub-sub-goal of “get ten million dollars funding”.

But it’s worse than that, because even if we give a good goal to the system as a whole, as the system is creating inner sub-goals, there’s a step where the AI itself can badly specify the sub-goal and optimise for the wrong thing(s) by the standards of the real goal that we gave the system as a whole. For example, evolution gave us the desire to have sex as a way to implement its “goal” (please excuse the anthropomorphisation) of maximising reproductive fitness, and we invented contraceptives. An AI might decide the best way to get the money to build the factory is to start a pyramid scheme.

Also, it turns out that power is a subgoal of a lot of other real goals, so it’s reasonable to expect a competent optimiser to seek power regardless of what end goal we give it.

Robert Miles explains it better than I can: https://youtu.be/bJLcIBixGj8
Interestingly, they seem to survive most in naïve than in words like coöperate.

Co-operate is much more common than na-ive (which I've never seen). But both cooperate and naive seem reasonably well accepted.
Exactly. Transportation is another way to "compress" physical space in the sense that you can reach more of it for the same distance.

In the extreme case where we have ubiquitous teleportation, the only remaining reason to live physically near a desirable location would be bragging rights.
TLDR: People with different agendas organized within a powerful structire to do something selfish at the expense of the rest of the community.

I'm not sure if its a good design decision. Its a bald one, for sure. It ruins everyone's 'fun'. Though it would seem this type of grind isn't fun, hence why its botted and regarded as second job.
Bitcoin: The Return to Reality
Yeah, well when they removed the headphone jack on iPhone 7, which has the same shape and dimensions as iPhone 6, it turned out they just put some piece of plastic in the place where previously the jack was. Youtube channel Strange Parts managed to implement working headphone jack on iphone7:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utfbE3_uAMA

So I call BS on space constrains, I call BS on waterproofing (waterproofed phones with 3.5mm jack exist). Conveniently, when Apple released iPhone 7, they also released 1st gen AirPods :-)

>If your methodology for identifying "cities with nice weather" returns Reykjavik in its top ten, either your sample only includes places with terrible weather, or your methodology is completely whacked.

Or you have different opinions than most people, for example I tend to really dislike summer in most places because I dislike hot weather more than I dislike cold weather, even here in Denmark I dislike summer.

on edit: fixed spelling.
100% I'm in Melbourne so summers are usually a dry heat that can go into the mid-high 30's often. Send me up to the Gold Coast where the humidity is much greater and I'll struggle in the high 20's low 30's

A citizen's dividend for land is just the democratisation of land as now every human has an equal right to a given plot of land. If they want a bigger or more valuable plot they will have to work for it.

As it stands right now land ownership is just used to pass down dynastic wealth and reap economic rents (profit at the expense of someone else as opposed to earning it through work).

And Anker P3s, and probably a ton of others.

The vast majority of wired earbuds are so awful they are almost a crime. Passive ones have no cancellation and very few have passive isolation. Even moderate background noise makes them unusable without dangerous sound levels.

Phone earbuds are mostly used on the go. Having a cable is way too much of an inconvenience in the age where Bluetooth exists.

Especially if it reduces the waterproofing or increases cost to add the jack.
There are 14 billion tether in circulation, don’t they need enough to back it?
Would I, as a Finnish or Swedish lawmaker, trust that promise? The US has not won a war in eighty years, and their shoot first, ask questions later approach may ultimately be more destructive than Russians could ever be.
While I appreciate the sentiment, as long as Russia doesn't have a common border with Hungary, he won't be able to send the military. Who's gonna let him through?
Tbh I’d take a few mm shorter or narrower; phones seem to be much bigger now than they were when they had a headphone jack.

That companies have responded to increasing narrowness by making foldable phones suggests there really isn’t much demand or even usefulness in a razor thin phone.
I completely agree that it's best to resolve problems with minimal bloodshed. But that ship has sailed. Putin has decided to invade a country and murder its citizens. If you want to minimize bloodshed, then he needs to be stopped.
There are a lot of other options as well.

Maybe he already wanted to make those changes but didn't dare to make them. Maybe he now changed his mind thinking: if I don't Musk will.

I do appreciate the consistency of that perspective, it is interesting. I must respectfully disagree with those definitions.

I think that consciousness ought to imply some element of choice. A rock cannot choose to get out of the way, nor in any way deliberately respond to sound waves. It is inert.

To me, the ability to establish relationships between things is a consequence ipso facto of the ethical framework required by the physical form. In other words, what we see is limited by evolutionary, genetic, and knowledge constraints. I'm defining intelligence as (g) factor in psychometrics [0] or roughly the upper-bound capacity of an entity to apply it's ethical framework consistently, and/or with any degree of accuracy, and/or across multiple potentially disparate domains of knowledge.

LVT isn't meant to evict anyone, it is meant to make it cheaper to use less land and more expensive to use more land. It is like an energy efficiency policy. We aren't forcibly trashing old cars. Even a modest LVT can prevent speculation because empty plots are no longer untaxed due to low property values.
If you do already have telephone and/or coax cabling in your home, it might be easier in the long run to just replace it to be honest. Ethernet sockets and cables are cheap, and don't consume power.

I was looking into MOCA, but eventually I decided against it due to pricing and latency concerns. In the end, I opened up the coax socket at my router, tied an ethernet cable to the coax cable, went to my office (room above the room where the router is), opened up the coax socket, pulled out the coax cable, and voila, I now had an ethernet cable in the duct.
Snow isn't bad compared to rain. At least it looks nice and lights up the night.
I'd argue that technology does have this effect as well, though it manifests differently.

Machines aren't people ... but people buy machines, or the services based off of them. And as these get increasingly complex, and the market grows, that market becomes less specifically skilled and discerning, more easily swayed by bogosity. Audiophile equipment and wine markets exhibit many of these characteristics, and are well-known case studies. Bicycles are another example. With digital computers specifically, Moore's Law helps offset some of the worst abuses, but the intrusion of mass-market crap still occurs, ironically all the more in more competitive and larger markets.
NATO has no problems with unstable democracies and high levels of corruption. It was founded by the US...

More likely, Ukraine after the war will be a massively destroyed country, with widespread poverty and a constant need for western powers to pour money into - and that breeds corruption. The only way forward - should they survive as a nationstate - would be some kind of grotesquely enlarged Marshall Plan - they would become in the 21th century that what Germany was between 1946 and 1990: A military bridgehead and designated battlefield should Russia get another taste for war, with modest economic growth.
I dunno. The most expensive are houses near center of city usually. People pay a lot for that. Then second most are apartments near center of city. The houses further away are cheaper. Some people definitely prefers them, but I dont think buying patterns show them being majority.

The houses with no stores around, with no busses around where you and your kids needs driving everywhere are comparatively cheap. Even people living in houses with yards seem to prefer them if they are either walking distance from forest, walking distance from stores/community centers and ideally both.
> figure out how much resistive and how much capacitive load any headphone has

This is not and has never been a problem for consumer based devices. All headphones are made +/- with the same impedance.

> Need to make sure that the DAC and amplifier don’t consume too much power yet have a good dynamic range for arbitrary cable length

If cable length is an issue for you then you're using a really bad cable. I mean, really bad. Or have a severely underpowered output amplifier.

Analog is simpler than digital. And if you think your cheap headphone will do sound better than the phone manufacturers I have a bridge to sell to you
Show HN: Search engine for software eng blogs and technical content
Sodha is a micro search engine focused on software engineering with an index hand-curated(ish) with several hundred blogs and resources.

The motivation behind it is that there is a lot of great content written by engineers in personal/company blogs, niche websites, and even by big tech in some of their more obscure doc/devrel pages. And I wanted a way to quickly access that by topic.

Vaguely inspired by ArxivSanity and HackerNews :)

I've only been working on this for a couple of weeks, but would love to get your thoughts HN! Some ideas I have (beyond indexing more pages) are: adding similarity/recommendations, fully automate the crawler, and allowing voting/ranking or some similar mechanism.

Content wise: there's a lot that should be on here, but it's a modest start so far. If you have suggestions please let me know here: https://a.sodha.dev/suggest
Thanks! I haven't tested that scenario, I plug/unplug every day at home and at the office. I do quite a lot of sleep/wake cycles, but didn't have any issues.

I sort of settled on StarTech because they were the only docks that were available here at the tail-end of the COVID lockdowns, etc. But looking at reviews of ThunderBolt Docks on Amazon et al., it seems I have made the right choice by accident, because so far both my wife and I haven't had any issues with the StarTech docks that we have.

If I only knew that some models have Realtek NICs, I'd have paid more attention to getting the model with Intel I210. I guess I was expecting that 300 Euro docks that can use PCIe all have decent NICs.

> Sixty percent of the colonists either were neutral or opposed to the Revolution.

From https://www.econlib.org/archives/2016/12/bruce_bueno_de.html

> Bueno de Mesquita claims, quite plausibly, that a huge part of George Washington’s motive for fighting the Revolutionary War was to protect his substantial, and critically placed, landholdings in the Ohio Valley.

> An excerpt about GW’s wealth:

>> His last position, just before becoming President, was President of the Patowmack Canal Company–the Potomac Canal, as we know it, from the Potomac River. What that canal did was bring, make it possible to bring produce from the Shenandoah Valley–which George owned–up to the port in Alexandria, which had been built by Lawrence, by the Ohio Valley Company, in which George had a direct interest, and shipped goods out. So it was a very profitable undertaking–or so he thought it would be, in the long run, for him. And that’s what motivated him. Most people think of Washington as–besides a great hero, which he certainly was–as kind of a gentleman farmer. Economists have estimated the worth in real dollars adjusted for inflation, not appreciated, of George Washington’s estate, in contemporary terms; and it’s about $20 billion dollars. He is by far the wealthiest President. He is the 59th wealthiest person in American history. Three of the American founding fathers are in the list of the top 100 wealthiest Americans in all of history: Hancock, who was wealthier than Washington–made his money smuggling; and Ben Franklin, who was not quite as wealthy, who made his money because he had a monopoly on the printing press. These are the folks who led the Revolution. These were not the downtrodden. These were not the oppressed. These were people who stood to lose huge amounts of wealth because of the King’s policies. And so they fought a Revolution. Which was, by the way, not very popular. Sixty percent of the colonists either were neutral or opposed to the Revolution.

Yes. And one side can fight a war, while the other side is fighting a special military operation.
I think expatriate actually has a different shade of meaning from migrant.

Expats are typically people living outside their country on a non-permanent basis (on assignment or some temporary basis), with no intention to permanent emigrate to the country.

Immigrants however are people who move to a country with the intention of settling there permanently.

From the article's description, it sounds like these folks are expats, probably in Portugal on a D7 or Golden Visa (both are temporary visas). Some may elect to apply for citizenship after a period of residency (5 years), in which case they would become immigrants if the choose to remain. I guess some just stay long enough to get an EU passport, and then they buzz off -- then they wouldn't be migrants.

Wow, thanks for posting that link! I was able to find his paper, "The End of Myopia", and glasses patent which describe his theory of myopia progression and preventative solution. The patent describes a pair of glasses with tiny dots (<1 mm in diameter) spread uniformly across the lens except in the central 7 mm diameter. The dots reduce the contrast of your peripheral vision which inhibits axial eye growth, and the clear region allows the wearer to see normally in the center of vision.

The theory is that children are naturally far sighted which creates blurrier/lower contrast central vision and sharper/higher contrast peripheral vision. The brain interprets the higher contrast peripheral vision as a sign the eye is too short and far sighted, and the eye begins to grow. As the eye grows to the appropriate length, central vision experiences higher contrast and peripheral vision experiences lower contrast, and the eye stops growing.

If you degrade the peripheral vision's ability to experience higher contrast at all with these glasses, then the brain will never see a need to grow the eye.

We wonder why people aren't bootstrapping their way up from nothing anymore. The truth is that we made it illegal to help ourselves.
It depends how you define community. If the game's growth discourages the people you actually play with from playing, then sure, it kills your community. If your neighborhood becomes too expensive to live in, your community will be crushed. Pretty much anything involving scaling a factory of any kind will necessarily favour broad applicability, but whether that means your community within that stops being fun depends largely on what those changes are and over how long of a timespan they occur. In WoW, people like to cling to the classic version of the game that they played when they were a kid and have since changed. Those changes were obviously good in a lot of ways, but also negative in others. Those people could argue that changes since then killed their community, but really what happened is that tradition is inherently stagnating in some ways.

The hilarious corporate mantra of buying out a startup and keeping it a "startup with much better funding that runs independently but within the company" is a joke tho seriously
It’s bittersweet, don’t you think? On the one hand, it’s good that such a law was supported at the highest levels. However, in truly sane places, there are no such laws because the police would never think to involve themselves in such a matter in the first place.

Some social norms have clearly disintegrated, but now there is a law to patch it up.

The reasons why the social norm disintegrated in the first place remain unresolved.

The Young Web was Creator Chaotic.

The Present Web is Marketer / SEO / Advertiser Chaotic.

There was a high diversity of original content, much of it neither monetised nor monetisable, in the early days. It wasn't necessarily high quality, but it was different.

Today, you can find (if you look for it) quality material, but it's drowned in absolute oceans and galaxies of crap. In the relatively early days of television, Marvin Kitman observed "On the TV screen pure drivel tends to drive off ordinary drivel." The Internet does this on steroids. It's a fundamental characteristic of mass media.
