I think you are right based on the media coverage, but I’m bewildered that anyone who has tried these can equate them. My personal experience trying all of these when they came out

1. Google Glass: This is the most underwhelming and lamest thing ever. Tried for 20 seconds and never thought about it again.

2. 3DTV: meh, I’dr rather watch 2D.

3. Magic Leap / HoloLens: this is way less cool than the commercials, tiny field of view, incredibly far way from something actually usable.

4. Oculus DK2: jaw dropped, holy shit moments. WOW!

That’s not to say VR is perfect. In fact, it’s far enough away from perfect I currently never use it. But it is so much more impressive and close to being amazing than these other categories.
I've buried a few frogs and it's actually rather addictive. The first time it feels like a silly chore, because your frog died, but then it stays with you and can't wait to bury the next one. Eventually if you're not careful you end up burying lots and lots of frogs and it is completely plausible to me that others have felt similarly and led to events like this.

Is it always possible to find a mapping under which the iron bar seems to run the program consciousness.exe? That is not obvious.

Let's say the Turing machine has states T, and the iron bar has states B. The program consciousness.exe is a dynamical system on T, called t: T->T, and the iron bar is a dynamical system on B, called b: B->B. Both of those functions/dynamical systems are given, because we observe them.

What the triviality argument says is that for a large class of "obviously non-concious b" there exists a (bijective) mapping
F: T -> B such that t = F^-1 o b o F no matter what t is.

Is this true?

Consider the cardinality of the set of functions/programs on T. It is |T|^|T|. What is the cardinality of the set of bijective mappings between T and B? It is min(|T|!, |B|!). Much smaller! Therefore it is not at all obvious that Alice, Bob or Claire or any of their friends will find such a mapping, even if the methodically try all of them.

This seems to me an issue with the presented argument.

Although personally I still think consciousness is a physical phenomenon we just have not mapped out yet. Like magnetism or radioactivity before they were properly explained.
> I would actively not hire you if I saw that in your feeds fwiw

I wouldn't hire you as well. Having a functional and meritocratic workplace is much more important to me than virtue signalling.

Also, your comment is clearly a personal attack and against HN guidelines.
I’m amused that you start by mentioning affordable and then make no reference to cost
> lack of internal comments

What do you mean by this? There's a section to comment in each card/epic/milestone and you can ping team members. Comments also sync with slack so you can get notifications there if you'd like. I don't have a ton of JIRA knowledge, so there's a chance I'm missing something.
Yeah, the last couple of jobs in particular it wasn't getting a standard referral through the HR system. The first we were clients of a technology analyst firm CEO who I knew quite well and had met and spoken with at many events. The second was someone who had been clients of ours at the consulting company. In the first case, the "interview" was a lunch. In the second, it was a semi-normal hiring process but I talked to the most senior folks, starting with a chat with the product head, first.

Really haven't had a "normal" hiring process since first job out of grad school (shudder) 25 years ago.

Not dev per se but technology role.

> I don’t think Mighty is for everyone.

I certainly don’t need a subscription service to run a browser in the cloud, when I have a computer in front of me that’s perfectly capable of running one locally.

Mighty is awful, both from a privacy and a resource conservation perspective. The computing equivalent of commuting alone to the office in a Humvee.
How is it possible to know if something is political or not? It's a spectrum, sometimes things are highly political and other times only lightly or mildly so.
> The Terner Center study on the cost to build low-income housing found that projects paying union-level wages to construction workers could cost $50,000 more per apartment and those built to stricter environmental standards cost $17,000 more per apartment than those that aren’t.

$1m per apartment. So let’s talk about the cost drivers driving 5% and 1.7% of those costs. Just… wat? Let’s start examining the warts on the rhino charging at you?

Also, if your plan to lower the cost of affordable housing is to pay the people who need affordable housing less then I have bad news…
I watch one of his employees stream on twitch, I found out about his channel from a Linus tech tips video, I don't think your second claim is all that true.
Thanks for the very helpful, detailed reply. I think I've uncovered where my mental disconnect is. The industry I'm focused on often uses Google Workspaces as their enterprise SSO provider. I guess I had assumed that Microsoft offered something similar that could be used for pseudo-authentication, but I see that's frequently not the case. Thanks again!
Electric razors never really worked great for me, but my teeth DEFINITELY feel nicer when I use a modern electric toothbrush. If I were traveling as much as OP, I'd absolutely take one with me.
Yeah that’s a super handy resource for all sorts of stuff, if you dump a view of pids by age and also a separate view of pg_locks joined to pg_stat_activity to show blockers and their blocked pids, and i’ve always dumped disk and cpu markers too, then journal that every few seconds to disk, it’s super handy for tailing it in a web dashboard view as you said - which also has a convenient side benefit of stopping every man and their granny having duplicate squizzes at the pg_* tables if there’s been a suspected wobble of some sort.

But it’s also really great for providing a cheap historical snapshot of activity for historical investigations and course grained analysis.

There are potential dangers with going overboard in this like inadvertently asserting troublesome locks or leaking sensitive data, but fairly easy to avoid.
It is apple's platform, that is the problem. I believe it would probably be better if the appstore was more open, but if someone puts out malware it is good that apple can take care of it for its users. But Facebook is the bigger evil of these two, so i'd want to have that broken up first.
It has automatic reconnect: "-o reconnect". You'll need to use key-based authentication with an SSH agent, since it won't be able to prompt you for the password while running in the background.
Ask HN: Overthinking in personal life and Thinking as a job
Since my new cycle of anxiety and depression over the last few months i started going to therapy again. Every therapist i've gone thus far said i theorize and overthink a lot, and something that's missing from my life is practicality. «Don't think, act. Don't theorize about a plan. Just start.».

And so i've started thinking...

I study CS, i want to work in security, i really like and want to learn algorithmic thinking and problem solving, researching, and imagine, but at the same time my mind's thought spiral can disable me. (I use the phrase "thought spiral" because i feel it's the best description, but i don't believe i have, and never been diagnosed with OCD.)

How do i balance my desire for a way of life that, at the same time, creates my problems?
I'm imagining this as the opening scene of Blade but instead of one guy getting attacked by vampires it's a club full of gullible people getting scammed by con artists. "You must be THIS rich and gullible to attend."
Can you list the false claims here? 1. 2. 3.

Shouldn't be hard, if "most claims" are false according to you.
Wirecutter is like Leetcode interviews.

The goal is not to find the 'best' option, but minimize false positives under intense time-pressure. Their recommendation is usually the 8/10 solid option that you can blindly buy and be moderately satisfied with. In the process, they drop out or misrepresent other comparable options, but their final recommendation is never shoddy.

This is in stark contrast to other reviewers like IGN who give 10/10 to every new cash-cow game, and The-Verge that tows the 'mainstream' line to play it safe. Additionally, Wirecutter's guides are up-to-date and cover every imaginable category. Are rtings, Anandtech, LTT, Crinacle, notebookcheck, gsmarena, etc. better ? Yes, a 100%. But each of them cover a small niche and particularly leave out appliances of all types.

I agree with Dynomight on Wirecutter being mediocre. But, consistent mediocrity is incredibly hard to execute at at scale.

I would never use wirecutter unless I absolutely had to. But, often, I absolutely have to. Because no one else remotely trustable is going around reviewing humidifiers and vacuum cleaners.
Mighty is cheaper though.
Can they not spend $1.5 million per unit to build luxury housing and then allow the old luxury housing to become affordable? This kind of economics has worked in the past for housing when we built a lot more units, and it's kind of the natural lifecycle of a building.
> Have you worked in a university before, in a capacity where you had to get something like that signed off?

Bureaucracy isn’t a compelling excuse - that’s just an easy way to dismiss anything.

Universities have absolutely managed more complex IT change than hosting a few videos on their website.

But we are going to complain that a universities videos got taken down because of YouTube bureaucracy but universities can’t host their own videos because of their own internal bureaucracy then I have very little pity!
So is that, my friend.
It's SoCal, so cost is relative. It's absolutely ridiculous what things cost here.

My place would rent for about $3400 if it hit the market. I think market value is around $1m, and it was built in the 1920's.
Hi, I did (or somewhat invented/devised) a similar concept, but for visually programming UI design. See: https://jjuliano.github.io/markdown-ui/docs/container.html
Tool for the job. I think there are probably reasons why editing a large 3d scene or doing detailed CAD work are probably best done outside of a wasm VM.
Psychotherapists do admit they are primarily a role of social control. The field was an offshoot from philosophy and has developed into a bottom-up inquisition against perceived problems that are very vaguely defined.

I'm not sure they do any more good than enforce parenting and individual behaviour norms. Much like the inquisitors of olden days enforced christianity and loyalty to the crown.

The science is never quite grounded, which could be a feature instead of a bug. People are sometimes mysteriously cured without explanation and it's not really ever possible to determine if someone is mentally healthy or not. Someone internally pretending to be mentally ill is indistinguishable from the real deal.

Some people are 'treatment resistant' for completely unknown reasons. The whole field is philosophically and scientifically uncertain.
There's no easy way around it. I enabled continuous motion in a few games and practiced for a few minutes until I could no longer tolerate it. Try feeling the ground with your feet, that helps a lot. The interesting part is that when you lose motion sickness you also lose some of the VR immersion, it's like telling the brain "this is not real, it's the body you need to trust not the eyes".
Yea... I wrote a redmine to Jira importer. That was... interesting. I'm familiar with Redmine and its table structure. I was able to reverse engineer the json schemas (there are examples at https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs... but little in the way of actual schemas and DTOs to work from) and successfully imported everything including a number of custom fields in Redmine and comments and attachments.

The only "oops" part of the Great Import was that the users that were in Redmine but not in Jira (people who left the org and thus were never imported into Jira) had entries created as the sysadmin who ran the import.
The funny thing is, I agree with your comment. Which is why I'm so confused about someone who sees an air purifier that is clearly made for purposes other than aesthetics and says "I don't want it because it's ugly." It's not for you, obviously.
I'm simultaneously a huge advocate of VR/AR as an amazing new medium and at the same time sceptical about it's chance of short or medium term mass adoption.

Can't it just be a niche/enthusiast product for another decade or so? There's enough people that care and it to keep our afloat. It doesn't have to shift a billion units
> Will be interested to see how it works out

Easy to predict: more over-crowding, more pollution, more traffic, lower quality of living for everyone
“Data needs to be unified for my executive use case” sounds like an org problem not a JIRA one. I’ve encountered it at companies that didn’t use JIRA at all
I can't even complete registration of an account there. Despite never visiting or using the service, it says it has detected suspicious activity from my private, single-user residential IP number.

But fewer Instagram accounts in this world is probably a good thing.
We have a few of those around as well. While they work fine, I don't really get why anyone would want to self-host JIRA or any COTS product like that anymore. Most instances now seem to be just a case of "our hosting company is fully responsible for it and it's pretty cheap and reliable" and until it starts failing or falling behind the cloud offering it'll probably stay like that.

Usually, if it isn't better from a staff-perspective or better for the customer, self-hosting or self-building is less likely to be the answer these days.
> "the vast amount of software engineers will land around the same range teachers in the public sector will"

That just can't be true. No disrespect meant, but I'm not sure if you are under rating what the vast amount of software engineers make or over rating what teachers make. Would you care to clarify with annual take home estimates for both?

Maybe some college professors make what engineers make. That could be true. That is very likely.
It depends on the implementation, but generally it actually would cover these things.
How surprisingly sensible. :-)
Well if your reasoning is that you can only ever use YouTube because you can only ever use YouTube then I guess you can only ever use YouTube.
They don't want to address the real cost: the building codes being ridiculous. That would require reducing the amount of regulation. These codes have real cost and they don't necessarily add a lot of quality-of-life for the occupants.

Edit - it was pointed out in another thread that affordable housing has to go through the same ridiculous permitting and environmental bureaucracy as other housing. That also costs a ton, probably more than the crazy building codes.
I was talking about software, not spaceships. Software, being soft, is fundamentally different.

However, you should watch the Poppendieck talk I linked. The Empire State Building had construction start before they finished designing it. The waterfall hallucination, where people imagine perfect results come from perfect plans perfectly executed, has been hugely enabled by software. But if we look at the actual results of heavily planned activities, like buildings, roads, and weapons development, the track record is terrible.

So if modern planning techniques don't work well even in areas, like construction, that they are most suited for, then it should be no surprise that people are skeptical when they are applied to domains that are very different, like software.
The only affordable housing is lots of housing: https://www.brookings.edu/policy2020/bigideas/to-improve-hou....

From there, people should be able to decide for themselves; "decide for yourself how much housing unit you want to buy" was common, until the '70s: https://jakeseliger.com/2015/12/27/why-did-cities-freeze-in-...

It gets worse the longer the IPv4 address is up, in my experience. Eventually, your address ends up in some log that is inadvertently made public.
Depends how you define “real”. It’s a standard issue affiliate marketing site that recommends products according to deals they have with manufacturers: https://www.xdesk.com/wirecutter-standing-desk-review-pay-to...
The problem comes when the legislature decides that it literally is child abuse, and mandates things like minimum bedroom laws (usually aimed at things like frat houses, but the effect can end up the same).
Housing construction costs are a nonsensical number to look at. If I’m going to build and sell a 2 million dollar property, I’m not going to spend 100k building a tiny home.

Developers need to compete at this price point, the cost of construction is probably a loosely linear function of land value. Land value has been inflated by a puzzling combination of NIMBYs, interest rates, and economic growth.
Weird, I've been using it for like 10 years maybe? No issue on Linux and OSX, aside from the occasional disconnect, which is actually my ISP's fault.

Yes, and my point is that you had a workflow issue.
In the US, a long list of comedians have fought hard through the decades, first radio, then TV to be able to tell risky jokes, naughty jokes, anti-establishment jokes, uncouth jokes, etc. They all fought against the prudes and establishment culture back then.

Should they not have fought and won those victories? Should they have remained in vaudevillian repertoires only?
What you're describing isn't very realistic, since nobody would willingly choose the most expensive option(s) for transfer -- and CDNs aren't even particularly useful for live video, as the minimal latency increase of using a single location is easily counteracted with larger buffers, all of which is already baked in to the protocols.

Here's some counterpoint math including revenue, using even higher bitrates across a couple cheap load-balanced 4Gbps VPSs. For simplicity, I'll use a single average stream.

Transfer: 300 avg. viewers * 6 hours * 5mbps = 4TB @ $0.01/GB = $40

Revenue: 5,000 total views * 0.01 conversion * ($5 avg. contribution - processing) = $228

That's a $188 margin self-hosted versus approximately $120 via Twitch mechanisms. Presuming 5 streams per week, Twitch is taking a $17,000/year commission. Twitch does provide some other functionality and very minimal discovery, but if you already have a dedicated audience, then self-hosting absolutely makes sense for any sized streamer, especially considering that you're not limited to streaming to only one platform.
Yep. In California, there are two answers: density (no cars, remove highways, etc.) or people need to stop moving there.

It’s physics. There is no other way around this.
Yes, we await the Oatly NFT with bated breath so we can ensure our cup of coffee is provably unique (TM).
Yes staying true to the rhetoric about 'making the world a better place' does preclude certain future states. But that rhetoric can be true, actionable, and not incompatible with profit.

Just saying here's an anecdatum about a money-making business that said the same kinds of things and is doing very well for itself.
> Since the author has a habit of overpromising and even declaring things finished before even starting on them

Do you have any examples?
I don't know if this stuff is genuinely indispensable and novel, or if they're preparing to create a patent thicket around VR ? What would industry insiders think ?
> Shouldn't we be seeing stuff like this in Steam games where Steam could easily expose your progress between other Steam games.

Amusingly, Valve has already experimented with this (and, as far as I can tell, given up on it). There were a handful of in-game items in Team Fortress 2 which were given to players as a reward for purchasing certain games, or for completing specific achievements in those games.
hopefully you forgot the /s at the end of your comment?

I've been doing all my travel for the last few years in a Cotopaxi backpack ("Allpa"); it's 35L, opens flat for easy packing/organization, has sufficient pockets for tidiness, and excellent external handles for managing it when it's NOT on your back.

It's also carryon-legal for even international flights, which is handy.

I got mine on deep discount for about half the going price now, but if something happened to mine I wouldn't hesitate to buy a replacement at full price.

This is close to my position. I was completely unimpressed by 3D TV but VR made me stop what I was doing and learn Unity. It seems strange to lump them in the same category. There was no grass roots passion for 3D TV. There's still tons for VR/AR.
> Payment in crypto coins seems to be free from a lot of regulatory burden

The key word there is seems, you’ll probably find a lot of jurisdictions require you to report receiving payment through crypto.

Usually you segment text via a "domain" so "Login" or "Profile" would be totally different strings, but the language management interface (such as PoEdit or CrowdIn) can suggest ones you've used before, if it already exists in the translation library.
If we estimate something like $35k (the poverty line in California) then each affordable house costs twenty eight years of poverty line income; maybe it'd be cheaper to pay them to move far away.

Yes, there are obvious problems with this, but the scale is getting out of hand.
Is there a way to mount only a particular remote directory? If I specify a path after the host, it always mounts the whole remote machine's filesystem which is almost never what I want.
Self hosting is sometimes easier to do than to argue with data governance about putting the information out a system that is offprem. The additional precautions for HIPAA or PII data that may show up in the comments or attachments can problematic. There are far too many users of all stripes that copy and paste data that they have access to without doing a check on it to see if it really does belong there (and if it does belong in the issue, then applying appropriate permissions to the object).
I honestly can't imagine trying to hire someone for such a terrible job.
If a browser isn't from a name company (i.e. Google, M$ or Apple) then it HAS to be open source. There is no trust otherwise.

At least for me, walking into a grocery store that feels totally alien is part of the fun of traveling. It's a neat way to see some of the more blatant cultural differences, while also accomplishing a task.
