I think we can't trust our emotions. Evolutionary speaking it was probably a good idea for the brain to send a signal for us to be with the group so that we don't stray off alone, and as such this manifested in some brain function that sends the signal of loneliness like the OP describes from his school days.

However I think the issue is that we think these emotions tell us something grander about our lives but I don't think they do. I think they are like when you put your hand on a hot stove, the neurons fire and you feel pain. Loneliness as described in the blog post is just as fleeting and biological/instant as this.

I think even a person who is surrounded by people all the time can suddenly get this emotion of loneliness if he suddenly finds himself alone and everyone else is out to a party. Even more evidence that it is probably just a fleeting biological response like any other.
It's in _combination_ with analytical skills and abstract reasoning that this biological response takes root and becomes something more than it actually was evolutionary, and thus becomes a bigger deal than it actually is.

It is a lack of bigger goals and short-medium term goals / meaning that excaserbates the analyzing of the loneliness response.
And that's the great sadness of human life imo, we basically have a bunch of primal emotional responses + an abstract story telling and meaning driven neocortex which aren't really compatible with each other directly and do not communicate with each other in the same language when they are actually 2 separate physical systems.

One must not takes ones emotions seriously but rather always analyze in the abstract and then come to some sort of peace with the life one has and also plan for the future and look into the past. Emotions like loneliness should be seen as mere guides and not tadpoles imo.
It depends on how you count.

I don't understand where do they take the electricity, but I suppose it could come completely from solar panels on the roof. Let's suppose they buy it locally. If my own electric bill (about 10 miles from them in Brooklyn) is any indication, the energy is > 50% renewable (hydro, nuclear, wind).

Traditionally-grown berries would need to be transported, likely hundreds of miles. These berries apparently go to NYC area within 20 miles. This saves on transportation and refrigeration.
Awesome, I love my ZBook x360 it is a great laptop and I can see that this new Dev One laptop inherits many design elements from the ZBook line. Linux is the cherry on top!

Edit: after signing up for the updates I've found this comment in the bottom of the email: "The content of this email is intended only for U.S. residents". Does this suggest that HP will release this laptop only for the U.S. market?
Sorry to upset you, I was being overdramatic. My goal was to convey how powerless I feel when scrolling through infinite amounts of creative, funny, or intelligent content that I can't recreate at all in reality. However, I am slowly learning how to use the Internet as healthy inspiration rather than as a way to escape my own insecurities and shortcomings.
> E. You are aware that there is considerable scientific writing arguing in support of many kinds of intelligence, no?

There's certainly considerable social demand for this to be true, and Howard Gardner is tirelessly promoting it, but the current expert consensus seems to be against it. Both Stuart Ritchie's _Intelligence: All That Matters_ (ch. 2) and Russell Warne's _In The Know_ (ch. 5) consider the multiple intelligences hypothesis false and have further citations.
It's a bit like how the Spartans (IIRC) taught their kids to lie, cheat, and steal as long as they didn't get caught, because that's how the world works. Unfortunately, this kind of society seems doomed to collapse.
Ask HN: Is there a web app to collect emails?
I made a landing page for my startup, and I've so many things to do, so I'd prefer to save up energy and not setup Mailgun, a separate db table for emails, form validation and all that.

It is low of you to conflate the two. While both companies and russia pursue goals in somewhat pragmatic manner, the former aims to maximize profit while the latter aims to execute an entire nation and take their resources with calculated brutality (most war crimes committed were under direct orders).
if you had to guess, what do you think people in that control group would be attracted to?
I'd recommend listening to some of the 2.5 Admins podcasts. There are a few episodes (earlier on I think) where one of the hosts lists a number of issues with how it is implemented and basically wouldn't recommend it for anything, even in trivial set ups with a single drive there are far better alternative's.

I grew up near some small farms in MD and we’d turn our nose up at yesterday’s Silver Queen (corn). It really does change over the course of just a few days.
That's correct, except (as noted in the Wikipedia article) there are many forms of cooperatives, some of which include customers as owners, and some even allow for external investment.
Same thing with wine, cheese, steak, etc.

There is a high-end market for utmost-quality, expensive food in small quantities.

Remember how Tesla started as a ridiculously expensive muscle electric car. Now they have much more affordable models, and it's increasingly hard to walk down a street a in NYC and not spot at least one Tesla. Entering a market from its most premium segment is a common strategy, before you can polish your processes, achieve economies of scale, and lower the prices.
> Degrees aren’t just about jobs

But degrees are used as a gatekeeper for jobs, and the price of a degree, 4 years of lost earnings + $200K, means that the only practical reason to get one, for the vast majority of people, is to get a higher paying job. So in reality, degrees are about jobs, and universities should start acting like it.

I do share your sentiment that it shouldn't be this way, but if you tried to get rid of this system of degrees as job qualifications, the universities would be your main opponent. A degree not about getting a job would have to be more like 1 year & $20K to really get many takers, and that would be much less money and power for the university.
This is great to see from a major OEM
There is a huge range of output/resource ratios for home gardens...even for home gardeners who say they're trying to achieve a high ratio. (Vs. love puttering with a garden, or want small quantities of perfect-in-their-eyes baby vegetables for salads, or ...).

Note that for many modern folks, "regularly gets you outside and exercising a bit and perhaps interacting with neighbors" is a valuable output. And you should also consider the vast processing, handling, & transportation wastes (including your or a delivery driver's time at the wheel) of the alternative.
> Do you not play any other games seriously? When you're playing a video game or a board game do you also just not bother trying to win because there's no money involved?

I am competitive and will try to play seriously without money. I don’t know but the quality of game seems to be significantly higher (eg people play more seriously) when real money is involved online or offline. So I just don’t play poker without real money. I acknowledge that this can be a false heuristic.

> Why do people take exception to this for poker but not for any other games?

Maybe because risk management is such a core part of the game and having real money involved makes the risks seem more “real”.

Yep. The multiple device connectivity issue is a complete misdesign on BT part.

I understand that it's hard to add UI for selecting who to connect to on a device with limited human input and output (such as headphones), but this could be solved by every trusted BT device being able to manage every other trusted BT device. This way, you could have a app on your phone or PC for selecting where the headphones connect. I hope the BT standard goes into direction like this at some point.

Ask HN: Interesting SDN/VPN Projects?
I read Wireguard white paper lately and later discovered tailscale. This Software defined Networking/VPN kind of domain was really interesting to me and upon exploring further, I came across following interesting projects:

- innernet (Wireguard)

- headscale (Wiregarud, control server for tailscale)

- nebula

- ZeroTier (virtual ethernet)

- weron (WebRTC for SDN)

What other interesting SDN/VPN projects are out there that you find very interesting/magical?

The rule of thumb you can use to make this intuitive:

A change in velocity at a certain point x on an orbit will change the entire orbit, except that orbit will still continue to go through that one point x.

So slowing down at perigee will not alter the perigee. (It is actually the most delta-v efficient way to lower the apogee.)
Yes it is a liberal arts degree: no humans - no need for computation. Understanding ourselves and our needs is necessary for inventing; improving or sustaining any technology.

Yes it is a STEM degree: no rigor - no computation. Understanding how the universe works is necessary in order to exploit matter and convince it to do computations for us.

Everything humans do (STEM included) is for humans; and by humans.

This bipartisan view of universities and faux-conflict isn’t useful.

Not entirely related here, but fwiw historically most European CS split from the math department and in the US most were split off from the electrical engineering department.

Maybe your mind is distracted by your sub conscious the zeigarnik effect builds up the more stuff you leave unfinished until your totally fried by it and all concentration is gone. List literally everything work and personal and assign its very next action (check GTD style), I find a monthly task list is way more effective than a daily one. Single out the most important 1 action you want to get done for the day and focus on that only any after that is a bonus.
Short story idea:

An elderly person living isolated with their best friend. All amenities are delivered autonomously, so we only see these two the entire time. The friend starts acting strangely over time, as if he's developing the early stages of dementia. Slowly hint that the best friend is in fact an AI of some sort, but the protagonist has lived with them so long that they have forgotten. The protagonist eventually remembers and opens up the AI's control panel to fix them. The AI suddenly disappears or powers off. Protagonist looks at the control panel again:

Congratulations on your achievement of handling a file upload. Senior promotion around the corner.
I think what is missing from such articles is some larger context. The Hungarian fear has roots in history.

I was born and raised in East Germany. As a child I went to Hungary three times, twice to some form of summer camp. Each time part of the program was tours to historic sites. Even back then Hungary placed significant importance on their centuries of struggle against the Ottoman empire, which even ruled part of Hungary from 1541 to 1699 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Hungary). Us children were told a lot about those wars and show strongholds and sites of battle, it was clear this was important to Hungarian identity to have been a "front line country" in a generations-spanning war, defending more centrally located Europe against repeated attempts of invasion.

Even when they were not themselves at war, they were always under threat. There was frequent Ottoman aggression in their neighborhood and they often got involved indirectly.

You can think of it any way you want, and history never is justification, but it can help with an explanation of where some attitudes and ideas are coming from.

By the way, from my childhood memories, Hungary was very modern even during cold war times - and, importantly, very much oriented towards the West, an anomaly in the Eastern Bloc. We teenagers went shopping for Western music cassettes and magazines with our limited funds when we were there. There is a reason why the process of East Germany falling apart accelerated towards its finale with East Germans leaving en masse via Hungary (https://www.rferl.org/a/hungary-1989-east-germany/30156892.h...).
My use case for this type of software is helping older, technically-illiterate friends and relatives.

The biggest challenge for this group is getting them to:
Find the website for the tool

Find the download button

Find the file in their downloads

Run it so they can give me the connect number

What the tool can do to help is make the website very distinct so I can be sure from a verbal description they’re on the right domain, have an in-your-face download button, and have 0 install or configure steps upon launch.
If one experiences burnout at 14 yo it's quite serious issue or something completely different.

Normally people can experience burnout after years/decades of work, not in their teens with hobbies.
"Primitive" is relative, we have evidence of tools and tool manufacturing industries more sophisticated than what any other animal uses dating back a whopping 2 600 000 years ago :

Oldowan, also : ~first (non-sapiens) Homo, ~beginning of the current Ice Age (~50 interglacials so far),

and maybe even 3 300 000 years ago (Lomekwian) - also note that even going that far back, Australopithecus *still* doesn't have other remaining descendants than us.
They do clearly state that the Web component is in beta (realistically alpha or dev), so it's probably fine to be not secure during QA

I don't believe that reporting scammers to remote support companies has ever been effective in the fight against these people, especially with the local police departments near the scammers' offices taking their sweet time to respond to any outcry about them.

I'd proceed with caution. Apparently it doesn't support Wayland, so when you run it under Wayland it offers you a "Fix it!" button that, when clicked, runs sed on some gdm system config files to revert it to X11 (nevermind that gdm is far from the only way to use Wayland): https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/blob/1.1.9/src/platform.... If this is the kind of thing that's considered acceptable by the developer, I'd rather keep their products far away from my machines.

> 4 years of lost earnings + $200K

Yeah I forgot how much US universities cost. I did a double major in LLB and BA and my student loan at the end was less than 50k including some living costs.

I can see why people in US are more focused on job qualification side of a degree if the opportunity cost was that much.
At my university in Berlin, students, desiring an easy connection between two major parts of the campus, painted a crosswalk across the "Straße des 17. Juni"[0] every day. And every day police would come and remove it.[1]

>The only foolproof way we know of to reduce the number of bullshit jobs is brutal recession,

That is a very convoluted way of implementing negative yields.

Because people want to avoid losses associated with negative interests they instead do the inflation thing and pretend there are no losses, the discrepancy between book value and real world value grows ever bigger as the book value is not representing losses in the real economy. The moment sentiment even dares to look at a downward trend poof reality has come back from its slumber. Negative yield is coming out of hiding, all at once.

I was making my terrace furniture and had to remodel the original design several times due to changes in the sellers stock options for particular beam dimensions. Afterwards I decided to code it out into a small app so that it would save time for others in the same situation.

It seems like a simple model, but even small change in plank widths or heights can have a large effect on where things should be placed… or how many parts need to be ordered. I included most popular L and I shaped benches + a table.

You can also use this for initial designs and export to other CAD software through STEP or STL formats and continue editing there.

Everyone has different size of the terrace, so I made it in a way that you can also adjust the basic lengths to fit precisely in your back garden.
