2. if it needs to send/receive at the lowest bitrate (used for discovery/broadcasting) that takes up a ton of wall clock time, which is equivalent to a lot of bandwidth at the highest bitrate.

My story: My startup failed and I was 30K in debt. It took way too long to get to that point. My first job after that was at an unfunded startup that ran out of money (to pay me).

Pretty dismal. However I learned some things from the startup that I didn't appreciate at the time. One was grit, another was being able to strategize about a variety of business problems, another was humility, and I also honed my quick learning skills.

These ended up, over a few years, landing me a plum startup job, a FAANG job, and a funded retirement.

The big picture is always out of sight. If you keep learning and stay humble but stubborn (don't give up) it will work out reasonably well. I still think I stayed to long on my startup adventure but I am not stressing about it.

> Ok that sucks. If they do a scan, at least use the radio that's not in use so it doesn't affect the one communicating (e.g. use 2.4 Ghz when you're connected on 5).. That would be a good way to avoid this latency hit.

Is this possible? Or is AP scanning perhaps always over 2.4?
My broadband access has been wireless ethernet, over a roughly 5 mile hop from the nearest tower, for roughly 20 years. I'd still be using 14.4kpbs modems over copper telephone wire without it. From the post in the South pasture where we pick that up, it's wired to the two dwellings on the place, and pure wireless after that, including extension APs in two more outbuildings, and a LR outdoor AP. Rarely have any trouble with any of it. Of course, I don't have to worry about my neighbor's router causing interference - the nearest neighbor with broadband is half a mile away, most of which, from a line of site point of view, is through dirt. Before I retired, I was CTO for a hospital where we ran 14,000+ APs on roughly 100 sites, serving 100,000 or so employees, patients and visitors daily. I regularly used it at a restaurant across the street from one of our buildings. The service was highly reliable and available nearly everywhere. (And, believe me, if you took away a surgeon's wifi that she or he used to do quick email and other updates between surgeries, you'd know it in short order.

So, yeah, wifi can require some management, but the thought of running all those laptops, phones (you couldn't rely on cell service - which of course is another form of wireless - inside most of the buildings - worked some places, not others), and portable medical devices only on wired ethernet is a non starter.

As for other forms of wireless - Bluetooth and BLE have their issues, but you get an awful lot in return.

You're describing how you have general views into twitter, but which are imperfect and require _active_ maintenance on your part to retain utility.

My experience is that _while engaging in that maintenance_ Twitter rapidly depleted in utility and value for me, because the dark patterns that encourage outrage engagement infected all those that I follow. It's simply not possible, AFAICT, to actively filter Twitter for strong content and not eventually either recede into accepting outrage or reducing one's feed to uselessness.
In my case I used just a single pair of them to get wired Gigabit up to my second floor from the basement. Based on my layout and needs that got me everything I couldn't easily handle with Ethernet runs.

Ethernet runs are cheaper in parts, but MoCA adapters are crazy effective at avoiding large drywalling jobs.
I imagine they have to handle the scenario where you're connected to a mobile access point and can't assume that 0 movement means you're in the same physical location. Watching other APs is going to provide a better picture.
1. If you want the machine to switch to stronger / more preferred networks when available it needs to know about them somehow.

2. The radio in most (all?) WiFi radios can only tune to one channel at a time, scanning all channels requires retuning to each one, which takes a little time.

Are you socializing as in getting to know and enjoy your group, or more signaling your preferred method of socializing?

This gets really close to where "be yourself" and "vibe with others" can violently collide, and it's work-related in the end, which also raises the stakes. I think I'd make it less of a binary decision and take other steps instead. Maybe it's not if, but how, when, and where for example.

This would come in very handy for codebases where an OpenAPI v3 spec would be welcome, but is too onerous to create by hand. Run this for a bit, have it spit out a nearly complete spec, and tweak it a bit to output the final product.

In fact, it is precisely what we did to generate the OpenAPI docs for NodeBB [1]. We had an undocumented API that we turned into an OpenAPI v3 file.

I haven't dug in, but I've looked into this before and you get very different results depending on how you define "school shooting". Everyone thinks of Sandy Hook or Columbine or something like that, but some stats also count "drug dealer shot once at other drug dealer and one of them was standing on the corner of the school parking lot", or (less dubiously, but still not exactly what one thinks when one hears "school shooting") a targeted killing, often of a teacher by another adult (think: bad break-up). Or a suicide with a gun at school (as in Pearl Jam's "Jeremy"). Or one student very specifically targeting one other student with no intent of hurting anyone else (bullying, gang stuff, boyfriend/girlfriend drama gone way too far)

All those other things are bad, but stats that include them can be misleading if you've got the wrong idea about what they're counting as a "school shooting".
Nice, thanks for the correction.
> People seem to model it like a smart person rather than something that thinks truly magnitudes faster than us.

Even if you model it like a smart person that doesn't think faster on average, there is the issue that a few minutes later you are dealing with a small army of smart people that are perfectly aligned with each other, and are capable of tricks like varying their clock rates based on cost, sharing data/info/knowledge directly, separation of training and inference onto different hardware, on-demand multitasking without task-switching costs, ability to generally trade-off computational space for time for energy, etc.

A silicon intelligence that is approximately human equivalent gets a lot of potentially game-changing capabilities simply by virtue of it's substrate and the attendant infrastructure.
Off-topic but since you brought it up, does anybody ever use builtin central vacuum systems? I have several friends who have houses built during the era when these things were popular but none of them ever use the systems.
Well, it's not enough to be useful. It should be better to justify the extra energy consumption. Especially given the climate change. Also, you forget that we actually don't yet know (no one has estimated, as far as I'm aware) the realistic consumption that we'd see with wide spread adoption. And without that, it's very hard to argue and say that it's worth it because of the usefulness. Because we don't know how much we're talking about.

So I think the energy argument fails on it's own. Also, it should come at least with strong supporting arguments claiming the actual benefits. But I do agree that cryptos are worse than the currencies we have and existing block chains (I'm aware of) don't make sense even as a distributed transaction tracking system for fiat currencies.

I cherish my childhood memories roaming around with my friends, either on our bikes or public transport all over the place. My favourite trip was as an 11 year old going from Sydney to Gosford (about 40 miles) with my best friend just because we could, and the trains were free that day. I don’t think we were even stopped once by a train guard or the police.

I really think complexity subtracts from the appeal of kanban. It is easy to start with cards in 3 to 5 columns and everything after that starts messing with simplicity. Swimlanes can be harmless or they can morph many boards into a multidimensional project management puzzles. It depends. Carrie and Michael can easily have their own boards instead of being in swim lanes or you can add a lane for Carrie and Michael on every project board you create. You can go into more and more levels of this until it’s no longer helpful and a headache to manage.

The previous Microsoft try at kanban added status on the card surface so that you had to set todo, in progress, done etc on the cards. This then created some sort of meta progress tracking. I found this to be too much when I just wanted columns tracking state.
> the nationalistic right-wing political movement that's highjacked the GOP

"hijacked" to me would imply that a significant majority of GOP members are not willing and enthusiastic participants in the political shifts that have taken place, which is clearly false.
... By "output", I mean "static output": a property of the syntax. A programming language in which we don't know what the output will be of every relevant node of the program's graph is "unoutputted". How anyone can tolerate unoutputted languages this day and age is beyond me; don't you want to know that the output is wrong before running the program? We have the tools and everything.

Ask HN: Asynchronous FPGAs and flowchart programming
Hello everyone! I've been working to make an FPGA run asynchronously. I think this will be the fastest way to compute.

I interned at You Know Solutions and learned the flowchart programming environment they use. Now they have a new technology patented and I'm trying to help realize the potential. The flowchart programs are asynchronous by design and can create parallel computations. I've been trying to reproduce a flowchart program on a FPGA.

Does anyone use flowchart programming anymore?
Has anyone used a FPGA to run parallel processes or asynchronously?
Thanks for taking the time to think about it.

> Democracy itself always gives rights to the majority against the will of the minority.

this is true and it has a name I believe; the "Tyranny of the Majority", I think.

> The tyranny of the majority (or tyranny of the masses) is an inherent weakness to majority rule in which the majority of an electorate pursues exclusively its own objectives at the expense of those of the minority factions.

Unfortunately, as you mentioned, being _more democratic_ ultimately lends itself to being this way.

However one neat trick the EU has (and I promise I'm not trying to spin this as pro-EU, as it's only in one place): is that the direct votes are split proportionally. This means that lesser represented groups get a voice in the EU parliament.

For the UK with their "First past the post" system, and winner take all government; where a party like UKIP can get 12.6% of all votes and win 0 representation in parliament.... well, lets say it's a stark contrast. explained very nicely; here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rGX91rq5I

The EU voting system (the way in which we elect MEPs to parliament) is detailed in this video by the BBC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CU3F3ToIIg ; as you'll see it's much more representative.

I know of other videos that speak pragmatically about the EU, its problems and if it's worth it (though with a slight pro-EU stance): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Uu5eyN6VU

I also found this video that asks the question if the EU is democratic, which I think makes good points and you can draw different conclusions from it: https://youtu.be/XxutY7ss1v4

I like this explanation of what the EU even is, since you mentioned you might not be informed I think it's beneficial and very impartial (and pre-brexit): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O37yJBFRrfg
I guess I should've used a more realistic example (one home vs a duplex, or a 16-plex vs four single-family homes) but I really thought the point would be obvious. I guess not, so I'll try again.

You recognize that there are occasions when a developer has the option to build more density or less density on a specific piece of land, yes? I was using an exaggerated example (1 vs 16) to illustrate the more general concept of less-vs-more. I am arguing that, other things being equal, higher wealth inequality will lead to developers choosing to build less density, because an increase in wealth inequality implies that the rich have more to spend than the poor (relative to whatever previous period you're comparing to that had less wealth inequality).
Neo: Generalizing Confusion Matrix Visualization to Hierarchical and MultiOutput
I have everything wired except my headset (Technics EAH-A800), which works well, I haven't had any problems with it. Network cable vs Wifi is a REALLY different experience in terms of performance and ping, which I care more about for gaming than for work.
I feel exactly the opposite. AI has not yet posed any significant threats to humanity other than issues with the way people choose to use it (tracking citizens, violating privacy, etc.).

So far, we have task-driven AI/ML. It solves a problem you tell it to solve. Then you, as the engineer, need to make sure it solves the problem correctly enough for you. So it really still seems like it would be a human failing if something went wrong.

So I'm wondering why there is so much concern that AI is going to destroy humanity. Is the theoretical AI that's going to do this even going to have the actuators to do so?

Philosophically, I don't have an issue with the debate, but the "AI will destroy the world" side doesn't seem to have any tangible evidence. It seems to me that people seem to take it as a given that it's possible AI could eliminate all of humanity and they do not support that argument in the least. From my perspective, it appears to be fearmongering because people watched and believed Terminator. It appears uniquely out-of-touch.
I'm glad this is "safer" in the proper sense of the word. And not in regulating the behaviour of contributors, which many open source communities seem bent on.
For a).1). you basically argued in favor of scalability. We don't know if we are on a training set more or less than a typical human at this point. If I would guess, I think high-bandwidth networked computers can be much more efficient at gathering training set than a single human.

For a).2). you argued in favor of symbolic reasoning. My personal interpretation of that line of thinking is: it helps for us to understand complex thinking machines, but it is not necessarily the building block for the thinking machine.

In the area of AI, there are a lot of opinions, but at the end of the day, builders win the argument. So far, what builders have shown gives me optimistic hope.

We Put Giant Chains on a Tesla
The reason this narrative lasts is survivorship bias. Those who survive were provided for and did prosper at least to some extent. They are ‘gods chosen’.

The untold millions that starved to death or died of disease or oppression get no vote and propagate no religion, yet in a divine universe they were just as much chosen too, just for a different fate. And of course they’re mostly the poor and disadvantaged, while the wealthy by and large tend to do just fine. I think I’ll throw my lot in with the wealthy, thanks.

I love the fact that crypto people are not satisfied with creating one pseudocurrency out of thin air; as soon as that has the tiniest semblance of stability (in this case ether) they go and create other ones “backed” by it.

Somewhat reasonable assumption. Yes, it's staged. No, the stage managers may not realize every possible way in which the video could leak information they'd rather conceal.
> That only works because HN is, mostly, politics-free.

I have to disagree with that one. This discussion -- content moderation-- is one of the most political topics possible. More things are political than most people realize.

However, I do think that the quality of the political discourse here is much better than other places; it is often just based on ideas, and even if they're plainly wrong, they're not usually presented in an inflammatory way. That is what sets things apart, rather than the lack of politics.
I'm glad to see this. I've gotten to see Google folks working in this area up close in the past year and they've all been dedicated to common problems.
> Which suggests to me that acupuncture works on the same basic principle that your doctor giving you sugar pills with a fancy name and strict instructions to take one every four hours with a glass of water works.

Except that sugar pills don't give anyone HIV or Hep C.

> We can never say "is dangerous" or "is not dangerous". What we can say is X esposure leads to Y harm. Water in sufficient quantities will kill you.

No. Harm is relative to reward. Cancer drugs are extremely harmful. But dying from cancer is worse.

The reward for acupuncture is 0. Just sit and eat a Twix instead. It has the same medicinal benefits. The harm of acupuncture is absolutely real, as I linked above, people have died, people have gotten chronic diseases.
How would you expect someone to quantify something like that?

These kind of quality of life things are naturally fuzzy subjective and individual.
US car market is a problem.
Like with most crime fighting, investigators often just find the brain dead criminals, or just manufacture their own make believe criminals, to make it look like their use of funds produced results.

Real investigations are hard, and it's just easier to go after the careless or ignorant, while the actually dangerous and capable evade getting caught.

So, yes, you're right.
While I understand the sentiment attached to "expectation of impermanence", as far as I know, that hasn’t been codified federally (or in most/any states) in the US. Administrators don’t get to make rules like this up without a legal basis to do so (well, they can try, but they’ll lose in court). There very may well be some other legal basis for “no photos of kids in public” but I’m not aware of it.
It sounds like you make a very high income in some periods of your life, but that you are unable to work and struggle to make ends meet at other times. What I would like is that make a little less in the good times, but that you have much better support in the bad times. Yes, the state would get more of your work when you can work, but in return you'd get support from the output of others' work when you can't.

That would include things like free health care, housing, and relief from tax burdens. Why doesn't the state help you? I'd argue that that's a lot because of lack of funding due to people taking your attitude that the state shouldn't take "your" money. I feel like you are someone who would benefit greatly from income redistribution that was well-implemented.
I’m still blind in one eye.
