Please don't put quotation marks around words and claims which were not said. The quote was "If you haven't noticed that with the several hundred live streamers you've consulted with then it seems by definition the streamers you interact with do not have the Super Fans" and this does not contain either of those quotes or claims you're disparaging as they were never said. Not working with folks that try to get this type of viewer to press this button multiple times per months is a fantastic thing not something to get inflamed about. At the same time it doesn't mean these types of streamers and fans don't exist just because you don't work with them and clearly they do exist or Twitch wouldn't have bothered to make all of these types of options and fancy effects and the aforementioned bad example streams wouldn't have them triggered constantly.

I don't see this as a nit, the claim in question was:

> "The companies" aren't marketing high-cost options in any way. Twitch's highest subscription tier is $25/mo

Which is central to the arguments and the error core not inconsequential. Companies like Twitch have multiple high-cost options like the aforementioned $499 in one click gift button and the larger the cost for the option chosen the fancier/louder the button and after effects look. If you work with several of Twitches top streamers that's fantastic and it should be easy to verify there are many accounts spending orders of magnitude more than $25/month, super fans are the main folks being marketed to with these options and they make up the majority of their use.

Regarding the rest of the GP's claims when it comes to your response:

> Some people build cars for fun and spend their disposable income on that experience. Other people enjoy online content and spend their disposable income ensuring that content keeps getting made, or can be made even better. To declare an entire populations' preferred hobby as "dysfunctional" is plainly inflammatory and entirely inappropriate.

Super Fans donate hundreds of dollars per action to streamers who are sometimes making millions per year. This is not the "I'm tier 3 for my favorite streamer so they can stay full time" crowd it's the "I'm top bit donator/sub gifter on a top channel" crowd. I consider myself part of the former hobby/support group but I can't see any way to construe the latter group as part of the same hobby either. I'm open to hearing ways that whale segment could be though if you'd be willing to expound
And I think that is a good conversation to have. If the law is not worth enforcing, it is not worth having. Laws are meant to remove one's freedoms. Sometimes that loss is meant to protect others, but it is still the government telling its citizens they are not allowed to do something. People should have as few goverment imposed restrictions as necessary to have a functioning society.
Yep. I was super disappointed the last time I went cross–country. The service was so bad that I haven’t bothered since then.
But what does proof even mean? They can pass any audit you throw at them, and then immediately switch to being bad actors.
In Finland, it's apparently the case, and Switzerland as well.

However, improving traffic infrastructure (separating bicycles and pedestrians from cars and trucks with physical barriers, reducing the flow of traffic through city centers, etc.) is a much more effective way of reducing traffic-related injuries and fatalies, which is what the fines are supposed to encourage.

Good photographer and good compositions. I expected some of the usual insipid travel blog photographic garbage with its typically pervasive lack of minimal composition or framing effort (I've seen more than a few post their links to such on HN comment threads about photography), but I was nicely surprised.
Do we achieve that in the status quo, though? Where I live, driving 10 miles over the speed limit at all times is the price of entry and if you do less than that, you'll sooner or later run into a motorist who gets aggressive with you.

Speeding is a constant issue and people are constantly crashing cars into buildings and people.

I have never seen police enforcement make a meaningful difference in safe driving. I've never seen police proactively enforce pedestrian/cyclist safety or remove cars from the bike lanes. Safety is a matter of correctly engineering streets and roads so that dangerous driving feels viscerally unnatural and uncomfortable.

The only thing that it seems to accomplish is A) giving police a way to arbitrarily bring down the hammer on people they don't like while shielding their friends and relatives, and B) fleecing motorists by setting up speed traps at places engineered to encourage speeding rather than re-engineering the roads for calming.
It seems like treating good people well is the axiomatic virtue, while treating bad people well is a virtue derived from the first.

The determination of who's bad or good is fraught with error and subjectivity; therefore to protect good people, we must protect all people.
You must've gone to a special math school or smth) I learned about them in the uni and as with 90% of material it was quite dry and formal. Pretty sure they don't talk about generative art while teaching them in 2022 (and they probably should:).

I assume that was a convoluted way of disagreeing with the attribution of (some) "girlishness" to aesthetics? Suffice to say, the male domination doesn't by itself exclude all (pleasing) aesthetics, except in those niche corners of the internet with the "no girls allowed" sign on. At least maybe, it's really just a theory ;-)
I should have quoted that; thanks for that.

I'm completely speculating, but it's probably a matter of not wanting to complicate iterating on the translation engine by introducing a bunch of cruft from the Firefox build system (which, though it uses GNU make under the hood, is very much bespoke and complicated).

Since the translation engine is intended to run on a product that hosts WASM, they might as well just build to that.
Poll: How do “I told you so”'s make you feel?
Doing a little self-reflection today.

How do "I told you so"'s make you feel? This is from the viewpoint of you getting to say "I told you so" to someone else.

Great points here. We probably have a non-conformist flow when, even though the package deps are defined in the projects that aren't stand-alone, we define them and utilize them in the root projects. This has potential to footgun us.

I have seen several articles addressing the folder/file structure. The author has done an excellent job and taken it a bit further. Now I have questions to research about deployment. What are best practice for isolation of code for Docker images which are to become k8s Deployments and Pods? Does it matter to stuff it all into a mega image? Are Monoimages a thing and what susceptibilities to performance do these yield?
Finally, an ANN that directly tackles the matter of Intelligence (given that many systems in the past few years created a sinister confusion between the concept of Intelligence and one of its direct opposites, "parroting"), namely in the indirect implementation of one strict requisite: metamemory, as part of metacognition.

Incidentally, one may like that the researchers are Japanese - as they have often brought fresh air with their perspectives and contributions.

> Metamemory [the ability to remember things... once heard or learned] is the process by which ["]we ask ourselves whether we remember what we had for dinner yesterday and then use that memory to decide whether to eat something different tonight[" ...] It involves a person having knowledge of their own memory capabilities and adjusting their behavior accordingly

> When studying metamemory, researchers often employ a "delayed matching-to-sample task" [the use and also the evaluation of the memory of past experience, through the choice whether to have the memory tested for possible reward]

> Despite starting from random neural networks that did not even have a memory function, the model was able to evolve to the point that it performed similarly to the monkeys in previous studies. The neural network could examine its memories, keep them, and separate outputs

> Professor Takaya Arita (lead author): «The need for metamemory depends on the user's environment. Therefore, it is important for artificial intelligence to have a metamemory that adapts to its environment by learning and evolving ... The key point is that the artificial intelligence learns and evolves to create a metamemory that adapts to its environment»

Original research article: Yusuke Yamato et al, Evolution of metamemory based on self-reference to own memory in artificial neural network with neuromodulation, Scientific Reports - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10173-4

> Based on the formulation by Nelson and Narens... metamemory is regarded as a complex process in which two cognition layers at different levels of hierarchy are associated by monitoring and control [Graphically: https://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/... ] [...] Their model explains that the monitoring mechanism is achieved as follows: the meta-level monitors the state of the object-level, updates the internal model including the knowledge about its own cognition based on the result of monitoring, and determines the meta-level policy based on the state of the internal model. According to the secondary representational structure and its flow of information, the evolved mechanism of metamemory can be reinterpreted as follows[: t]he part considered to store the input pattern corresponds to the object-level, the part observing the state of the memory part, including the core modulatory neuron and some connections of which weights are modulated by the core modulatory neuron, corresponds to the meta-level, and the state of the core modulatory neuron (meaning the presence of the memory content) corresponds to a model of the object-level inside the meta-level
You're looking at only infrastructure costs, but not at benefits. Being able to autonomously deploy an application in production increases your team's velocity by orders of magnitude, e.g. faster time-to-market, faster feedback loops, etc.
She's long dead and using the cells from her biopsy caused no harm - quite the opposite in fact.

This seems trivial to control for.

Classify each interaction with cops, e.g. traffic stop, wellness check, house call, etc.

Then compare ratings for each classification to see who's performing above/below average.
That depends on whether you think that games should be simulations. Even if you think they should be simulations, you still might only want to reward optimal play over lucky play. If I'm using a simulation to train someone, I only want them to be rewarded for ideal play.

It reminds me a bit more of people who correct "Ka-tar" to be "Cutter" even though all three vowel sounds in the actual pronunciation of the country don't exist in English (and the actual Qataris don't care and won't correct you if you use "Ka-tar").

Also this rant is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjcX3MVSdyA

Kyiv is a bit more obvious since it is being done to show support for Ukraine (which means that certain people will lose their minds over it being "performative" to show their support but yes, that's why people are doing it -- and it should be obvious why actual Ukrainians might have a sore spot over a more Russian-sounding pronunciation of their capital right now). That one at least has a strong common emotional reason behind it. In other cases we get weird fetishes for non-English pronunciations in English even though we don't for thousands of other place names.
I have spent time in jail. I've also spent time out of jail. There's just as many scumbags outside.

Agricultural water varies in price greatly but it is often like 1000x cheaper than residential water in CA.

Its not the treatment process - I think a substantial portion of actual costs of water is in delivery.

I really admire the writer of the firmware here. This person spent the extra time to embed the actual data into the image. This is the kinda stuff I'd love to see officially documented in a PDF by the manufacturer, if we actually owned the things we owned.

My FLIR camera that I use for electronics only exports in JPEG, with the GUI baked into the image and some pretty crappy JPEG compression artifacts. Lame.
And eventually those nations got rid of those too.
I also found Canvas a bit challenging - not the programming model per day but just the work of coordinating scenes and objects. I got overwhelmed with the number of frameworks at the time and didn't want to go down the path of investing in a single one (not a good move in hindsight).

Been a generalist self-employed consultant (non-I.T.) for 20 years. Some suggestions:

* To do well, you'll need to learn how to consult -- your skill set and the skill set of consulting are two very different things.

* Even as a generalist, you need to figure out what you can do better than anyone else. That might be a specific skill or it might be particularly compelling packaging of your skills but, either way, you have to stand out. If you don't, you're competing on price and client stupidity, and both are a good way to be frustrated and poor.

* Have rules and stick to them. Mine were always: No clients who had never hired a consulting solution in my space before, because the training-wheels stage takes time. And no clients who were so small that the owner was my primary point of contact -- when you're spending your contact's butter-and-egg money, it makes for messier engagements.

* Learn to sell. You'll want to believe that you can do in on social media, do it with the strength of your existing network, blah, blah, blah. Nope -- all of those things will eventually fail you and you won't have developed the sales muscle to get through the dip. You have to get good at aggregating and then talking to strangers. convincing them of your value. Related: Set your rate high enough that you are living good on 1,000 hours of billable work a year or less. That gives you a lot of time to market.

* There's unreasonable value in being easy to work with. Fixed fees. One-line invoices. Charging a high-enough rate that it's easy to say yes to minor scope tweaks without having to change the contract. Stuff like that stands out.
I think transparency is always good, although one worry I do have is that forcing benign declarations (i.e. what amounts to disclosing that when you turn on X, it does X), creates something similar to "alert fatigue".

People don't read privacy policies. A privacy preserving app that has to put a long-winded policy, despite not leeching your data, becomes even harder to distinguish from a cloud-based email app that scans all your emails, and holds your email usernames and passwords, and harvests contact-name pairings and sells email signature contact info and job titles to lead-harvesting data brokers.

I don't know if that's the best outcome for users, as it might make every policy look the same (long, complex, and wordy, with scary legal language they are forced to add by the platform gatekeeper).
I really don't care about that.

I also don't care about how dutiful the Queen is and what she's sacrificed to the role - though to be clear I do believe both those things at a personal level.

It doesn't matter what incidental good it accomplishes if it goes against the fundamental principles of equality.
Looking at them, it appears that the EF adapters go through optical gymnastics that don't really work the same way as in the Game Boy adaptation.

The EF-iPhone adapters project the lens' image onto ground glass and then use a macro lens to image that ground glass.

The Game Boy modification actually involves removing the optics from the Game Boy camera and projecting the EF-lens' image directly onto the sensor. There's no easy way to do this with an iPhone, but it is the way that would truly allow you to use the EF lens on the iPhone sensor.
Ask HN: AirTag in my Kid's Backpack
So, I was just looking at AirTags for putting in my 4-year old's backpack. I'm not really going to do it but after seeing abduction movies, the thought certainly crossed my mind.

However, based on the following Apple page:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227

It seems like if an iPhone user abducts someone with an AirTag in their pocket, the abductor would get notified that an AirTag is traveling with them.

I guess it can't be used for this purpose??? Any thoughts or has anyone effectively used it for tracking their young kid?

Other classic Klein tools that I'm aware of are the 11-in-1 screwdriver [1] and the linesman's pliers [2]. The linesman's have many uses including hammering down nails or staples or bashing through drywall. You'll see these tools in a lot of tradesman's bags.

The Wera screwdrivers are also very nice and noticeably better-performing than standard drivers.

There are times where a law may have technically been broken, but it was done so to prevent something worse from happening.

For a silly example... If I were to run across an empty street (not in a crosswalk) to help steady a ladder someone was about to fall from, then I technically jaywalked. However, it was done with very little risk or downside to prevent someone from getting seriously hurt.

The officer could see that and write a ticket, then let the judge/courts sort it out. But that would clog up the courts with a bunch of trivial cases, while also having citizens upset with unjust laws. It can also lead to people refusing to help others in the name of obeying laws that are well intentioned, but can't be applied universally for society to continue to function.
Just talk to any cop. If they are honest, they'll tell you this very thing. In fewer degrees than it takes to get to Kevin Bacon, I was witness to an investigation where one individual was thrown the book to convince them to work off the charges being filed by rolling up. A traffic stop is precisely how they made first contact with people up the chain. It's like criminal investigation 101. So much so, it is part of every cop drama

Except the government has only done the bare minimum for leasehold reform, and has seemingly abandoned the more ambitious plans it had promised for this session of parliament[0]. As for the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022, it's worth reading the small print:

"Certain types of leases are also excepted by the LRGRA 2022 such as business leases, statutory lease extensions of houses and flats, community housing leases and home finance plan leases. The LRGRA 2022 will not apply to leases granted under contracts entered into prior to the commencement of the Act, unless in accordance with an option or right of first refusal."[1]

This distinction between payment fee and platform fee (ignored in this article) is relevant even to non-legal-scholars bc. if you ignore it you get results like this (yes, this is based on real rulings):

> Apple plans to charge developers of dating apps a 27 percent commission on any in-app purchases made via alternative payment systems in the Netherlands, the company has announced. The change comes in response to an order from Dutch competition regulator, the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), which has demanded that Apple allow dating app developers — and only dating app developers — to use alternatives to Apple’s in-app payment system in the country. Twenty-seven percent represents a reduction of only 3 percentage points compared to the 30 percent commission Apple typically charges for developers using its own payment system.
