Your comment makes me think you might be under a misimpression of how HN moderation works, so here's a refresher.

We moderate HN less, not more, when YC or a YC startup is the story. That doesn't mean we don't moderate at all (though in the case of this particular thread, we literally did not moderate it at all—any perception that made it seem that we did was completely mistaken). This is literally the #1 rule of HN moderation. It's the first thing that PG drilled into me when he trained me to do this job years ago. I hadn't even had a chance to grab a chair yet.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

The reason we have this rule is that the good will of the community is literally the only value HN has, and that is not worth risking.
You know there is a saying about this;

You need to change that.
a probably simpler use case for blockchain in gaming is for a simple payment API and market mechanism .. easier to spin up a smart contract and escape payment processor fees and the ridiculous take-rates of Steam and Apple in-app purchases

The payment processor fees are still there though - you just pay them when you convert your fiat currency into crypto, rather than when you use the crypto to buy the 3D hat.

Loaning is just one potential use. The idea is that if you were to put ownership of items on a blockchain then you open up your game to all the external tools/marketplaces that have been built.

I'm going to ramble a bit... I grew up on a farm in the actual middle of nowhere. It was a then-defunct, mid-size dairy. In it's heyday it had 300 head of Holstein being milked.

My mother, whose parents ran the dairy, and to a large extent my father, instilled this way of life on me at a young age. Growing up, we had a huge vegetable garden (they still maintain a 1/8 acre vegetable lot in their 70s, it's quite impressive, really -- and that's in addition to a 400 sq. ft. greenhouse I helped my father build and the rest of their lot that has fruit trees, berry bushes, etc.) but I was always in awe of the canning and the preserving. You grow all of this food but you only eat 20% of it fresh, canning and preserving the other 80%. But then, being so young I didn't realize that our meals consisted of vegetables/fruits that were canned or preserved years previously, of course. There was a strong communal aspect to it, too. We'd get oversupply from neighbors and/or give oversupply to neighbors.

Chickens, too. The farm had a coup. My parents had a coup (they gave it up in their late 60s -- my father grew tired of dealing with the foxes and skunks they attracted). It's something I want to do but where I live it's impossible. We're planning on a move where we can have a chicken coup and more space for growing food in general. I'd really like to preserve the heritage, as it were, and it's become more important as we start a family.

Also, I've dealt with corn and wheat weevils before. I actually did not realize that they also laid eggs on rice. I guess I assumed that it was "different" or whatever but thank you for highlighting that in other comments. I've got 50 lbs. of rice that I'm going to break down to smaller vacuum sealed bags this weekend. I've dealt with weevils at least a half of a dozen times in my past and it is not pleasant. I do not want a repeat of that mess, but especially where I live today.

How is that different from the current art market where you can already buy some painting with a high degree of confidence that it's an original, numbered, signed by the artist, etc.
Blockchain does not add more confidence to these kind of transactions. You still need middleman to authenticate the art, that it wasn't stolen or whatever.

Writing ownership in a blockchain, why not, but for all the famous crypto use cases (real estate, concert tickets, art, etc.) these only solve a very small part of the problem (if there is one to solve...) and I don't see how you can cut all the middleman that are always here for a reason.
A lot of it is bad urban design.

Traffic calming measures to keep cars slow such as narrow steets and roundabouts can do a lot.

It shouldn't be physically possible to travel at highspeed through residential areas.
Here in Germany, I'm seeing more and more emergency vehicles having their siren off by default in low to medium traffic situations (even in a large city like Berlin) and only activating it when they enter dangerous situations (like large crossings or passing red lights) or need space.

I don't know whether that's current regulation already, but I think it's a rather nice gesture and definitely reduces the noise background ever so slightly.
Reminds me of my most customer-visible screwup.

- Implement rate limiting on a site to deal with scrapers

- Include the https://http.cat/429 in the template for 429 responses.

- Time passes

- Implement API for displaying an information widget in customer company’s own website (big pharma regent suppliers), content get injected as an iframe loaded from our site.

- Customer employees all visit their own website from behind a reverse proxy with the same IP, trigger the (poorly configured) rate limiting

- Panicky customer contact: “Why is your widget displaying cat pictures on our website and could you please stop it right now”

This now forms a key foundation in my “no whimsy in code” rule along with one or two near misses with dummy data/content.
I'd think of it this way - you've passed the interview process, AND you'll have a whole team of software experts with you the whole way. The company has assessed you and decided you're good enough for the role, and you've got the right people working with you to make it successful. Sounds like you've got a solid set of leadership experience as well.

Realistically as an engineering manager you should not be doing any coding yourself. Having a little background in it definitely helps even just in conversations with your team, and it sounds like you've got that covered.

Good luck with the new gig, I'm sure you'll do fine!
How is living in NYC? From someone who only knows NY from TV. Is it like its portrayed?
As a side note, I find the language you are using strange. I do not know if it's my perspective of the world being different than yours, but I'll try to explain.

In my perspective, genocide is a very, very strong word. Hitler killed 6 million Jews, as he literally wanted them exterminated.

Now, crime is a crime, none should be defended nor downsized. But the primary goal behind that genocide was extermination. Do you claim that Russia is trying to exterminate Ukrainians?
Or you are using it just to point out the war crimes that the Russian army is did?
I think that's assuming the road is properly maintained.
I always use code comments with my name during the work to help me remember things I want to change but don't want to do them right in this moment. Then before pushing I make sure there is no comment bearing my name.
Not the person you were originally responding to, but I would point out that originally the statement was about if everyone is united in opposition, why are we still buying fossil fuel from Russia.

This is not the same question as how it helps Ukraine, so I would be careful throwing around the word “misdirection”.
In my experience, a preference for single exit comes from C where you always need to make sure to clean up any resources, and an early exit is a great way to have to duplicate a bunch of cleanup logic or accidentally forget to clean things up.

Of course, that's what goto is actually good for.
I don't know, I think I am not even understanding nationalism and national heritage on a deeper level. I still live where I was born, one side of my family from here and the other is from a different, neighboring country. I often feel they're closer to the local culture here than the rest of the country I live in, at other times it's the opposite. But in general I don't feel I could name a lot of things where I agree on the culture I'm supposed to be having. When on vacation I'm always glad to not run into fellow countrymen because I usually find them annoying. So what does cultural heritage actually mean and what is it good for?
I've been on the internet since I was 15, depending on the day of the week I write and read more English than my native language (at times even speaking it the whole day at work). It's not that I hate my country but I don't think I'm seeing a lot of positive points either.

In Germany we had cases of either anti-tesla-ism, anti-environmentalism, anti-muslimism, or satire, or possibly all of it at once, were people were disabling chargers by putting ground pork into the charging ports.
I meant alternatives to uBlock Origin. AdGuard is quite good on my iPhone and it must be very restricted.

If V3 really is Armageddon as everyone is saying, then I have my new browser lined up. It's Brave. And it already has a suitable adblocker built-in. It's the no brainer solution here.

Yes, I expected him to at least point out that a real Rolex has intrinsic differences regarding its functionality as a watch in terms of precision, durability, etc. that are superior to those of a fake Rolex. Of course, we all know that the cost a Rolex is not proportional to how good a watch it is, it is a status symbol. But it is also a damn good watch.
I'm keen to know how it might be used with other concrete innovations like https://carbicrete.com/.
One of the best classes I ever had was a stats class where the prof assigned a paper a week for us to review and mark up any and all faults. In the beginning, the papers were from journals like The Canadian Journal of Forest Research (which we came back with drenched in red ink), by the end we were punching holes in the Lancet.

Granted, the papers and progression were hand-picked by the prof. However, the final effect was that the students became fairly competent at reviewing papers in general.
I think software engineering would be among the most useless possible skills in a post-nuclear society.

It was not my intention to obfuscate. I was just trying to share information. You make good points regardless.
On other hand they can be grown where there is enough land and enough water... Just because parts of the world has lack of water doesn't mean there is lack everywhere. In many parts there is even enough rain.
I thought about this recently. I'm occasionally woken up by souped-up cars in the early hours of the morning. You can hear them from maybe from a mile away. They must wake up hundreds, even thousands of people on late night joyrides. It's incredible that it's legal. Why allow something which is entirely pointless to cause such mass public nuisance?
It's not even just that HIV mutates quickly. After the initial attack, it infiltrates the immune memory cells and injects itself into your DNA and lies dormant for a long time, while these immune cells reproduce happily.
I don't, but they do a lot less with the PSP, especially if you're just using Ryzen Pro and not server SKUs. Intel put a web interface you can't disable with an offbrand networking gear level RCE vulnerability that needs nothing more than ethernet access into their security chip. I don't think AMD can exceed that anytime soon.
The Fed needs to raise rates to about 13% to get inflation under control, assuming current inflation of 8%, a 2% inflation target, and that we're already at full output.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_rule

Problem is that it's very likely that the Fed can't raise rates to 13% without very serious negative consequences like the government defaulting and the people revolting. My prediction is that they get to 3-4%, the economy breaks, and then they flinch and drop to 0 again. Meanwhile, inflation will continue to accelerate, as real interest rates remain negative.

When the currency has depreciated by a factor of 5 or so, total debt levels will become manageable again, and then we might see the Fed persistently raise rates to 20-25% and choke off the inflation. At 20% inflation, it'll take about 9 years to get there, at 8% more than 20 years. If inflation gets to 20% it's very likely to get past 20%, though.
I would die a little inside (ok, maybe that's dramatic :D ) if I was presented a trackpoint-like device but didn't work properly. I had that once - an X1 Carbon 5th gen actually I was using temporarily, struggling to make that useful, because it was too tight (I feel like post-*30 models, you need to break them in, a lesson that I eventually learned) and it would float a lot.

One nice thing about many used ThinkPads at least: trackpoints are usually the one component that are brand new on the device :D
Same thing happened to me. I got denied because as a founder/owner holding more than 25% of a company they consider the P&L of the company as your personal income(loss).

Credit score impacts interest rate but debt to income ratio that is above 50% can completely disqualify you from a mortgage. Thats where the founder ownership can skew your personal DTI.

You can go to asset based lenders who evaluate and secure the loan against your existing assets (cash, etc) rather than based on your W2 income and DTI.
Short for application
Since you seem to be the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room. Most probably you have a ton of $$$$ by this time, so leave that damn room (sabbatical, or simply quit), and use that money to do something which you maybe don't even know you like (sports, travels, hell, maybe an expensive car).

This is what I did when I was in your shoes[1]. Then I went to work for something quite different, and enjoyed NOT being the smartest in the room anymore, and not being responsible for 60%+ of commits, docs, etc.

[1]: one of the best times of my life, BTW. And I also like coding.

I'm sorry for her but it was her fault. $2700 at $220 per installment is 12 installments. Such a tight schedule is unusual. You should always try to get the most flexible arrangement that you can afford and pay it off sooner only when you actually have surplus money left over.

> is literally engaging in a genocide

You know, the US (and people who drink its kool-aid) has been leveling several such false accusations lately, another one being about the Chinese treatment of the Uyghurs. As a person whose family was decimated by genocide I'll tell you that it's quite insulting on the personal level; but beyond this - that kind of rhetoric has a "boy who cried wolf effect", and that's really bad.

You do not need the fabricated accusations to condemn Russia for war crimes and the killing of civilians in its invasion of the Ukraine.
I too feel happy when something good happens in someone's life. I am sure a lot of people do. That is not by itself the origin of envy. So where do I look next?
Once the spectacle is over - at myself of course!
I see my shortcomings and from there begin the possibility for all kinds of problems and at the same time improvements in my life. What course does my mind take though? I can certainly hear the voice of resentment in my head when I see something I think is "good for them!" But I must quieten that voice and turn to what is the better approach - to improve myself. This takes effort.
So no it is not as simple as you put it here. I am sure you are aware of this struggle. This is not something new.

What is new is the frequency with which one is presented with things that reproach ones sense of well-being. Are they eating better food? Living better, happier lives? Having more beautiful babies? And why?

So it is only probable that one will slip into a stupor- with so many shortcomings and so many people out there.

Hope that made sense.
Was it in Detroit?

The movie came out 15 years later and I doubt anyone remembered or knew about titanium balls falling on New Zealand. Spaceballs was always meant to be a direct parody of Star Wars.

I remember from that time people were more freaked out about Skylab falling down to earth--there were novelty t-shirts with a big target and "Skylab target" printed on them, all the late night TV hosts joked about it, etc. Skylab falling back to earth was a big event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoVXuKQ__0s

Fantastic article from Gwern, as usual.
He lays out some approaches to distinguish fake research using AI-generated ones.
However I think he may be optimistic about the effort needed to correct the course on junk science and the ability of humans to discriminate between real and fake.

There was a game posted on hn where you had a real title/abstract and a fake one, and you had to guess the correct one, and I actually performed worse than a coin toss.
Any heuristic -e.g., this is such an unreadable string of jargon that no human would have tried to publish something like this- was actually violated by some articles.
Of course, it was mostly papers outside of my expertise, like geology or biology.
One would think that after having read more than a hundred papers, they would perform better.
Especially as some very advanced technical points about either biology or technology drive more policy with direct impact.

One mistake has always been to present "the science" as something well established.
An extraordinary number of debunked claims have percolated to the general public, bad science has driven policy, the limits of knowledge and scientific reductionism can be felt in many fundamental domains (e.g. gardening, dietetics).
Science would be more actually described as a faith that the process of that multi-player publishing game eventually converges to the truth.

In any case, evolution does not wait on anyone, so it will be interesting to see how people and the system evolve as the fake generation improves in quality beyond reasonable means.
I don't understand - you seem to say that duck typing is a bad thing. In my experience, some parts of a program have to be strongly typed and some have to be "lightly" - I'd say that a good 5% of my work is to make C++ APIs that look&feel closer to dynamic languages with even less typing checks than the C++ baseline.

> WG21 seems to dearly wish this wasn't so

how so ?

> Once you've accepted that you only have duck typing anyway, you're probably going to have to explain in your documentation the actual requirements for this parameter t, as the prototype merely says it CanBlah and that's not actually what we care about.

the documentation having to state "t can be logged" would just be useless noise and a definite no-pass in code review aha

> In contrast the Rust function we looked at actually does tell us what is required here, something which "implements FloatingPoint", and that implementation (plus the data structure itself) is all that's being exposed.

my personal experience from other languages with similar subtyping implementation (ML-ish things) is that this looks good in theory but is just an improductive drag in practice

But without the Ghostbusters.
I find your comment a bit sensational. They both parted from different percentages.
There are almost definitely a priori reasons to think a 1500% one is much riskier. 20% is in the realm of possibility considering you could get ~15% yields from crypto.com, there were also some powerful players with deep pockets funding anchor paying the difference, and that there was almost 20bn$ TVL.

Stablegains had nothing going for it, in fact it had all of the risk with none of the reward. 1500% APYs are usually attached to LPs carrying huge risks of impermanent loss rather than stablecoin staking and are usually very transient in that they evaporate within hours.

FWIW I disagree with Anchor being termed a ponzi.
