There is a popular discord (PlayEDH) where people play MTG over webcam against one another. Due to the nature of MTG it's important that the deck each player is wielding be properly balanced in power level against each opponent. (For those unfamiliar, it's possible to construct highly efficient, and expensive, MTG decks that trigger game-winning infinite combos within 1-4 turns. There's a continuous scale of deck effectiveness from this point).
These power levels are pre-checked by volunteers of this discord.

I had the idea of aggregating all decks + their graded power levels and training a prediction network capable of this task. The side effect being it could also tell you which cards in your deck could be changed to increase it's predicted power.

I ended up abandoning the project, largely due to the painful nature of parsing the discord logs.
This reminds me of that project, primarily due to needing to generate a meaningful/compressed embedding of the cards prior to training the deck-level network.
Anyways, nice work!
Yes, but socially when you ask people their race they will say black or hispanic or white. And with little consitency. It is more of a way to justify and impose social classes.

I honestly agree, I absolutely hate how twitter is used in the dev sphere too. There will be ample discussions about the future of a library only made on twitter never referenced elsewhere.

It's maddening. So maddening that I'm slowly becoming delusional about the web's future.
A half decent laptop would solve this problem.
Everything you're written makes perfect sense, and is completely contradictory to the first statement of "is easy" (edit: unless the post was intentionally exaggerated and humorous/sarcastic and I missed it: it's hacker news so I genuinely can't be certain - this could be a completely overblown ridiculous unrealistic imaginary workflow to make a point, or something a hacker news person genuinely setup and considers easy :)

> I agree with your issue of reification and I like the concept of a "wit."

Thanks! I had it as a vague idea for several years, though it has been getting a lot more concrete as I've seen new tools adopting similar approaches - but without any of them taking the final step of converting a search result collection into a user-accessible object ready for direct manipulation.

And now that I see tools adopting that style of data management, the concept allows me to see the commonalities among tools with quite different approaches - be it tabular Nocode storage like Airtable or outliners like Roam, Workflowy and the like. Whenever the tool returns a collection from a data gathering process, I see a wit that should be able to be extracted and further processed by the user.

BTW, the main difference between a query result and a wit is that you can store its items in the same structure as the rest of your content in the outliner, and send them to a new process (like spreadsheet cells, but with hierarchical data). Usually, query results are presented through a different interface than the rest of content, but a 'wit' should be homoiconic like Lisp.

(Errata to my grandparent post: a 'bit' is a "minimum unit of data", of course, not of knowledge).

What these Plex share owners do is advertise first . Reach the number of users they need then go private and it becomes invite only . This what happened to the one I joined and it's perfect for 2 years now .

>If you're having a machine look at a dataset, and the machine determines that race or ethnicity is a material factor in determining some attribute in that dataset...

I think the trickiness is in providing the machine unbiased data to begin with so that it doesn't incorrect associations between features like race. The most egregious examples I'm aware of are the machine learning systems used to suggest criminal sentencing, but, apropos to this topic I believe there are cases where it may produce erroneous associations in something like skin cancer risk.
the thing is once you start private and giving options as comp, your only option is to go public eventually, or screw everyone that's every gotten options.

Profitable private companies that never want to go public can solve this by doing profit sharing with employees, but in tech there's often no profits for a very long time.
Fascinating. Where can I read more about how it works?
The problem might be - it sounds like you're using your twitter account for marketing, not interacting with people. Personal twitter accounts can actually be good places to do self marketing, but you need to put in the work to actually grow your network first, because you don't generally grow it from marketing itself.

Basically, first you need to follow a bunch of people that interest you, and interact with them in some manner. Do this enough and you will get followers back, and people will start interacting with you, and that will draw more people in, etc.
Also you found an error. “Your opponent” is not valid in the language of M:TG it needs to be “target opponent” because “your opponent” is not well defined outside of two-player games.

Battery size is a lot of what's driving the escalation of phones. Phones keep getting bigger, with bigger batteries, but usable time stays about constant. I'd love a renewed emphasis on lower power / longer battery life without having to make the thing so big it doesn't fit in my hand comfortably.

> 6 hours or more _per day_ sounds absolutely insane though, you must be overestimating that unless you use your phone as a GPS to commute or some similar use case that requires it on in the background.

Interesting. I do use my phone a lot: slack/email regularly throughout the day, twitter addiction, videos in the background while doing other stuff, and reading; but you might be right that I'm overestimating it. (Screen Time says about 7 hours, I have no idea what that counts though)

Regardless, if the consensus in reviews is about 5 hours asking for 4 isn't crazy, especially since (IIRC) iPhones tend to do better than Android in battery life.
I believe that there is a non-negligible number of people for whom their phone is a bit more than a communication device, and most of the things they do online, they do on a computer.

I don't understand the appeal of these notched/hole-punched/rounded screens on phones. They solve no real problems. They are a gimmick.
(Note that this is perhaps magical thinking, but I would personally not be comfortable running torrents to "iffy" sites/locations/purposes, on the same primary storage array with my tax documents and family photos etc; my NAS is as local-network-only as humanly possible. That is a segregation and personal preference though, and does not detract from your main point)
My experience is that the algorithmic feed just wants to firehose 99.9% sensationalist trending muck I don't want from people and topics I don't want to follow or read about on twitter.
The Pixel 5 is closer in size to an iPhone 13 than a 13 Mini. IIRC it’s nearly the exact same size as an iPhone 11 Pro.
I would buy this if it was dual SIM (nano+eSIM) but honestly iPhone 13 mini is still too big for my taste. No wider than iPhone 4 would be ideal for me. Fine if it's thicker to fit a decent battery.

I'm currently using a Pixel 3a with multiple cracks in the screen. Willing to drop a lot of money on a phone but there isn't a single phone I want.

My use case would be more simple than others, but I am not super well versed in the actual current syntax of Obsidian. I like the idea of this syntax https://forum.obsidian.md/t/add-support-for-link-types/6994/... as it would be most flexible. But a simple [[Page Name]]{type:child} could be good, all I really need is a means of filtering linked documents by their link type (in a graph view/visualization) and ideally a method to query and display those. Dataview gives the second, though the first seems to require the link type to be a first class citizen.

I understand that it is a complex thing though, and not something easy to just throw in

But yes I agree it's a highly unlikely motivation.
> An offline copy of wikipedia would be the next most important thing to membership in a community.

It would definitely not be. You're taking Wikipedia marketing waaay too literally. It's not the "sum of all human knowledge," it's a flawed collection of Cliff Notes for some of it. A roomful of undergraduate textbooks (or the equivalent eBooks) would be about 100 times better than Wikipedia as a foundation for knowledge, but neither would be very helpful in solving urgent, practical survival problems.
It's also amazing how much damage you can do.
Well, I didn't say I agreed with it, just that it's one of the stronger arguments. Creating a constitution is a fraught project that requires referendums and the like, so people have to believe it works. If courts are willing to injunct unconstitutional laws then why didn't it happen here?

What does "economically beneficial" means in this context?

I agree that some measures of economy (GDP? unemployment?) would get better in this scenario, but the whole effort wouldn't serve any other purpose than to increase those values, making it a little pointless.

I guess if this is what you're trying to say, then it is indeed an indictment of how we do economy.
I find it so hard to believe that CRUD software is still largely written by hand. In the ideal tech stack, that wouldn't be the case. The stack would have sane defaults from top to bottom, so that you wouldn't need to evaluate every .js and .css.

I also used an S4 Mini for a long time (more than five years), but its size and very small weight came at the price of not having the Full HD display of its big brother S4. It didn’t even have a 720p display! Also the battery was much too weak.

Still I searched the whole year 2019 for a replacement and finally settled on the Samsung A40, which has a FullHD(+) display, reasonably good battery, all features I wanted and is still lighter than other phones of same size.

You are right, around 140mm length would be fine, and then an equivalent weight of 140 to 150g. I cannot stand these bricks with their 180, 200g of weight, no matter the display size. These are just not usable for me.

How to Estimate the Time for a Task?
+1, I switched to iPhone 12 mini from a OnePlus3. But, I’m not going back anymore. Let’s hope when this thing gives out in 5 years my watch can do all of this.

I always thought iPhone would be restrictive. But I have my selfhosted apps and my wireguard (but ffs let me tunnel my hotspot connected clients through the vpn Apple!).
If you go this route, please make sure your system is robust and ready to go before meetings.

We had to ask one employee to go back to his reliable built-in webcam because every other meeting started with 2 minutes of him getting his camera turned on, messing with audio inputs, getting his microphone boom in place, and fighting other quirks. He also had a tendency to drop out of long meetings when his camera overheated, at which point it was another 1-2 minutes of messing around with the camera setup.

If you're going to do this, it must be reliable and ready to go before meetings. Don't be the person fighting with expensive equipment all the time just to get a marginally better image for your highly compressed Zoom video stream. This isn't a Twitch stream. We just want to talk and get down to business.

I don't agree with a lot of things in CAPEX vs OPEX, but this is one that is clearly right:

Having equipment sitting around unused is way more expensive than most people care to think about.

A heating coil might not be terribly valuable in July, but come November it will have roughly the same value it had the previous February. Bitcoin mining hardware that's switched off for five months is losing value at an alarming rate, and very quickly won't be a net reduction in costs.

Very quickly a heat pump becomes cheaper to operate, and cheaper to purchase. And if you amortize the cost over the life expectancy, that threshold is very, very low. People who have recent memory of living paycheck to paycheck are constantly screwed by the latter, and that Venn diagram overlaps heavily with several other circles that make crypto super attractive to some people and super ridiculous to others.

I went down this avenue of compute as radiator long ago, and I could never get the math to work, unless I moved somewhere that was cold most of the year, and that sure as fuck is not going to happen.
you need to focus on a single thing, finish it and move on to the next. It's easier said than done because sometimes one thing might take too long and you might feel the need to drop it and attend to another task that's more urgent.

But at the end of the day, once you finish a task, however small, you'll feel better and have more mental energy to deal with the rest.

Also lying in the bed and worrying about what to do is less useful than getting into a more awake posture (sitting at a desk) and dealing with an issue. That said give yourself frequent breaks (reading HN) but cap it so you don't spend all your day reading news.

Don't forget daily exposure to sunlight. It regulates your clock and mood.
Wow for real? That's amazing. I'd love to read more about that, it seems quite innovative!
> My point was that I'm already spending a lot of money to pirate

… okay then. Let’s leave it at that.
A lot of people look at R&D and investment in things like fabs and process as the way forward but I feel like what you mentioned is the main problem.

Intel has been leaking and practically ejecting their best and most experienced talent to "maintain profitability". The brain drain will be their biggest problem and courting the best talent takes a lot of time and isn't something you can necessarily throw a bunch of money at.

And they renamed 10nm to Intel 7, but it is not EUV. Both TSMC and Samsung have moved to EUV, and until Intel does as well they are going to remain behind. All that money spent is nice, but until they start taking delivery of tons of equipment from ASML it's not going to help them at the leading edge.
That’s not how it works. X is amazing, but has a steep price so only “hipsters” can buy it which prevents it from taking over the world.
I think this is the main reason, and why only Apple can afford to make a small slab phone. They can still make some margin with 5% of a massive number, while others can't make any.

Foldables seem like a better compromise here, and hopefully more like the zflip/razr get in this $700-800 range with stock android, good cameras, and decent battery life. The zflip 3 has been sold for $800, just give me stock android and I'd be a buyer. I'd be ok with a slightly slower processor if it means a better battery life, but within 10-20% of a flagship. Between a $450 6.1 inch Pixel 6a, or a $700-800 folding phone, it's going to be kind of tough to compete with a smaller slab phone if it's going to have to make more compromises to stay small.

I'd love a Nexus 4 sized phone again, but these aren't bad options, if you want small, go folding, or get a 6a. I'm sure the mini is a good option if you're ok with iOS.

Ok, I'll let you in: you're either already famous, or you have a huge curated network of bidirectional followers from the early days. Then it works.
I have a public Twitter account where I barely tweet or browse Twitter. Gained 1000+ followers over the years and many of them are good friends. I grew my following by simply interacting with others and helping out with problems people were having. I try not to tweet something I would regret posting in the future, as this is my public persona and I'm committing to a permanent record so to speak. Even if I delete a tweet, anyone can screenshot it and circulate it online so I'm on my best behavior.

I have one other account which is private (where I don't tweet). I don't follow anyone, and if I get follow requests, I decline them. I browse Twitter using their Lists feature, which I've curated heavily over the years. All my lists are private so if I accidentally get a follower, they can't see the lists I've made. All my lists are high signal and I've blocked ~250 accounts that regularly piss me off. I mean, some people just always popup in my feed that are full of rage and bile, so blocking those accounts is great and I enjoy browsing Twitter because of this, since all the bad faith actors have been weeded out.

Very similar setup here: Sony a5100 + Samyang 30 + Elgato Cam Link 4k and a usb-powered dummy battery. This setup has been rock-solid for over a year now, and I run it all day, every day.

Also useful is Sony's remote control, for engaging/disengaging autofocus without reaching for the camera. The a5100 has a useful flip-up screen, where I can see myself.

Before that, I was running a RasPi Zero with a HQ camera module and a C-mount lens as a webcam. That worked well, too. Better image quality than any of my colleagues, but a long shot from the Sony, obviously.
There “messaging” can be anything they want. By missing mobile, they are stuck just competing in the PC space which is minuscule compared to mobile.

Apple alone will be selling that many ARM chips in a year between phones, tablets, computers, set top boxes, monitors (the latest displays have the same processors that are in the iPhone 11), etc.

Apple is only 15% of the phone market. All of the major cloud providers are trying to move to ARM wherever possible.

The world is moving toward more power efficient chips. Something Intel can’t do.
In this case, we'd expect them to have gotten some R&D out of those overambitious failures, right? So we should hope to see some really snappy progress in post-10nm nodes?
