Thank you for the great response. Yes, I can definitely see how mechanical or physics based patents would be beyond the AI's remit at the moment. As someone who is considering going for a software patent sometime in the near future I was pretty disheartened by the patent process - both submitting the patent (the expense can be up to $500k I was told) and also defending the patent from larger companies seemed impossible. Perhaps an AI can start with easily understandable patents like software, or primarily word- or keyword based patents, and go from there to an ML approach for physics and such.
what ethics? a 26-week old fetus is considered to be a bundle of cells, and it is perfectly acceptable to dispose of it for any reason or no reason at all. given that, I see no rationale to prohibit or condemn disposing of undesirable embryos

Not a finance person, just an adjacent technogist, but from having lived/worked through Black Monday, the 90s recession, the 2000 bust, the lean early oughts, and then the world ending 2008- for whatever reason this one feels like much-ado-about-nothing. If capital is not again issuing- not gushing, just issuing- in solid flows- by fall, I will be very surprised. Sure, some people were swimming in the deep water with no shorts on. But there are too many things to do, too many real opportunities, and too much real powder sitting around. We've all seen this all before, and know what happens next, and know how to get their faster.

This is definitely not investment advice.
It's much simpler. A lot less arcane knowledge is needed to get something running, and even less to clean it up completely if you need to delete it or start over for whatever reason.
Personally I wrote my own home automation software. At the time, Home Assistant wasn't compatible with my hardware, now I just prefer rolling my own solution anyways. I do not recommend my software to others. (It's written in Visual Basic and has a ton of personal conveniences basically hardcoded, though I try to maintain the general assumption in design someone else may use it someday.)

Depending how sophisticated your needs are, if you write code, consider writing your own. With libraries handling most of your hardware integration, writing a home automation system is often primarily writing the glue between. (I didn't do this. I made mine much harder for myself, I speak directly to serial ports with hardware codes, it's also much buggier than other solutions.)
I'm not saying I'm surprised. I'm just noting the, uh, lack of a full picture of what might be behind the "hottest May in history."

On a side note, we are going to donate the formula we can't use to a stranger. So. There's that.

I don't think twitter's system for handling the appeal is good (especially because it seems to be horrendously broken - if you have a user base numbering in the millions and need to have a ban appeal process, make sure it actually works so people know what they did wrong).

That said, I also think that the joke the author made was in bad taste and I can easily see why twitter flagged it and temporarily banned his account.
There's a lot of questionable medication being prescribed these days. I'm not sure if it's just because I come from a crappy background, but even a lot of the kids in my family seem to be on prescription medication these days. SSRIs, stimulants, sleeping drugs, etc.

I'm fairly well read on pharmacology due to problems I've had in the past with pharmaceuticals (but also because of my interest in nootropics) and the stuff they'll prescribe to children today I wouldn't touch personally. It's also surprising to me how readily certain pharmaceuticals are prescribed at all given they're not extensively studied in children.

I could give examples, but it's frankly too depressing. But from what I've observed it seems clear to me that we don't have a clear understanding of how long-term use of SSRIs might affect a developing child's brain.
I think they solve different problems. I love independent websites, and the web is an amazing medium for serving stateless content. But I think web3 compliments it really well when you want to do something that hooks into a larger, stateful ecosystem.
Also in competition for most controversial investors are

2. Softbank's Vision Fund [2]

While it's entertaining to judge from the timeline and smirk at these losses, the role they play in building a future that is "better" is still important.
All of them benefited a lot from a decade of liquidity and now they need to show resilience to survive once the music stops.

Bitcoin Piñata hosted 10 BTC for three years, so I think substantial security is possible. It had one known vulnerability (in network device driver) patched before exploited in its life, and zero exploited vulnerability (BTC is still there). Obviously we can't know about unknown unexploited vulnerability.

It took over a half-century (<=1801 to >=1858) to get France onto the metric system, Wikipedia estimates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_metric_system. The systems it replaced were forgotten, but what cannot be doubted is that those "vernacular" systems were hyper-adapted to how ordinary people used measurements in daily life. It was the demands of state taxation and international trade, not the needs of common people, that promoted the creation and adoption of the metric system by legislative fiat.

But you’re not counting static power of the CPU and the whole system. It is possible for the vectorized code to consume less power overall because it can complete faster, using less static power.

The cheapest secure option with built-in software is probably SSH port forwarding of RDP. If you have to, you can have an SSH client connecting out from the laptop, reverse port forwarding back from a server you control.

Ideally you'd configure RDP to only listen on loopback.

Any software solution would be detectable to all the corporate monitoring tools vs. hardware as discussed in the article (which I guess someone could figure out via USB/device IDs but seems less likely to be noticed than open ports/RDP connections).

Its great that your migration worked in a way that made your deployment pipeline arch agnostic. Expecting everyone did it that way? Not sure about that.

> Software engineers are already too afraid to change existing systems, so I have found this to be a parable to solve a problem no one has.

No, that kind of fear is another manifestation of the problem of not wanting to bother to figure out why things are they way they are, but maybe tempered with a little bit of experience that changing something you don't understand can cause serious problems.

IMHO, the real lesson of the parable is to figure out why things are the way they are, and then act.

Wait, wood-burning fireplaces are gross? Do you mean aesthetically or conceptually?

I doubt too many in Florida depend on them for heat like they might have in past decades, but can't fireplaces still be enjoyed for what they are? Cozy to sit near, fun to watch/cook over, great for incinerating incriminating documents, etc. As long as the nights/winters get cool enough they're still nice for some things.

I keep seeing articles referencing that Russia is blockading Ukraine's ports.

As far as I can tell, that is completely untrue. Russia still allows shipping in the Black Sea in what they call a humanitarian corridor which is "a safe lane south-west of Ukraine's territorial sea, 80 nautical miles long and 3 nautical miles wide, from 08:00 to 19:00"

The reason ships can not dock at Ukrainian ports is "Ukraine’s ports are at MARSEC (maritime security) level 3 and remain closed for entry and exit. Sea mines have been laid in port approaches and some port exits are blocked by sunken barges and cranes."

This comes from the The International Maritime Organization (IMO)

https://www.imo.org/en/MediaCentre/HotTopics/Pages/MaritimeS...

Russia is doing enough evil that we don't have a shortage of stuff to denounce it for. And while misinformation has its place in war, I don't like it here and think it could make the food crisis worse.

I haven't finished reading anything by Girard because I find him frustrating as hell, but from what I remember he had a more complicated argument.

If I'm hungry, I eat. This is very obviously not born of memetic contemplation, unless prokaryotes also engage in it. However, do I eat a TV dinner? Do I eat lean chicken breast and broccoli? Subway? Chicken nuggets? Keto pizza? Anything I want as long as it's in a 1-hour window? Brunch, after waiting in line for over an hour? My grandmother's casserole recipe?

My understanding of Girard (from what little I've read of his work) is that he thought the desires of others mediate the desires of the self. I want to eat, but the specifics of it are changed by emulating other people. It's not possible for me to just eat whatever I want without regard to other people[0], because my whole way of understanding how valuable food is relies on what other people think.

Some (most) of this, I believe, is the issue of the delivery company.

As an anecdote, a few weeks ago, it was unseasonably warm (88°F at 8pm when I contacted Factor support) because the package hadn't been delivered yet. When it was delivered the next day (hadn't dropped below 80°F), and I opened it, the cold packs were completely depleted and I contacted support again and I was fully reimbursed for the meal. I haven't been disappointed by Factor, though I have been disappointed by the delivery company.

My concern would be that we might be unable to distinguish useful genetic adaptations from disease. How do we actually make these decisions? Examine the DNA and then look for SNPs of concern? Is that a perfect process, or one dominated by statistics? How likely is it that this method will arrive at the expected goal?

Yes, you can if you use Bitcode which has been a stable format since around 2015.

Ask HN: Marketers Who Work at a Startup. How Did You Get In?
So I am a 24 YO experienced digital marketer based in Sydney, Australia. I am looking to join an early stage startup in a marketing role as I have always been interested in owning and scaling technology products. Best bet would be joining a startup I guess as I don't have a strong network in the industry.

I have 4 years experience owning and scaling non-tech products in non-tech industry. Also, led marketing teams. Now I am having difficulties finding a job in a startup.

I'd love to get some suggestions and ideas on how I might be able to get in. Love to hear some of marketer's experience here.

Also, I am thinking of simulating a marketing plan for my top selected startups. Would that be worth the time and energy?

Thanks in advance for all the answers

It's all broken, but a purist will go off grid and live in the woods.

Perhaps you'd find passion in pursuing a PhD (or other avenue of professional R&/D) that focuses on resolving the fundamental issues with much of software development methodology, endpoint arch, and networking.

Barring that, the MO is to devise more robust bandaids.

The proprietary and secret nature of big tech security creates a playing field of fortified castles vs. self reliant survival in the wilderness. Tail end participants such as Google's core infra security will outmatch any independent actor. And, still, both google and apple consumer endpoints seem to have fundamental security flaws, entrenched due to being built on many billions in investment over decades.

Something like CHERI may take decades to bear fruit, hopefully turning over and pruning any insecure legacy systems sooner rather than later. Telecom is an example of why this will likely never occur anytime soon, and that we may be stuck with current security paradigms for many, many decades.
Keyword parameters may be a late development, but they are based on property lists. Property lists are so ancient, that Lisp 1 and 1.5 used them for storing bindings. For instance, a symbol having a SUBR (machine language routine) or EXPR (interpreted routine) binding was stored in that symbol's property list.

Property lists and keyword arguments aren't tied to CLOS, though of course CLOS uses them for the flexibla constructor arguments passed to make-instance.

I run HA in docker. Configs are in a volume mount and get backed up with the other zfs datasets (I'm sure you could put them in git too..). Extensions work fine but sometimes you do need to run another docker container, eg zwavejs2mqtt. All that stuff lives in docker compose files in git.

They have moved to be UI based, which does seem to work much better for most users given how complex automations can get.
Lia DiBello on the Mental Model of Business Expertise
> It's a strange thing also when a "new/old" machine trumpets its speed as a feature "40x faster than the C64!". If I want fast then I'll use my desktop computer.

The author of that project has had another goal in mind-- to be able to build usable machines where the code running on them can be reasoned about. There's a talk he gave where he hooked a joystick up to a little cube and had a C64 slideshow with rich text, graphics, and slides that were editable in realtime. Additionally, he had a baseband processor hooked up so he could make and receive calls from some C64 demo-looking app. The interface was so simple between the baseband and the main CPU that a single developer could have a chance at understanding the interface, the code running on the trusted CPU, and the state of the memory when making a call in the app.

For that goal, a chip design as well understood as this one is a great starting point. And I believe that's where the "40x" faster comes in-- e.g., that means the slide show with editable rich text plus graphics is actually usable in realtime.
