> Biofeedback research in the 60's and 70's seemed to show that you could learn to communicate with your own tissues down to individual cells.

Trying to find more on this. Do you have a link or a good search term to point me in the right direction? (Specifically regarding affecting individual cells; brain state biofeedback overwhelms the search results)
I have a 13" Macbook from the same year and it pretty much just works with Nixos. There was a bit of trouble getting Bluetooth working, but as I'm not using it much can't say for it's instability.

What is graphics switching, there is one (integrated) GPU, no?

If only management would use their inflation in statistics to realize, if monthly contributions are consistent, there is nothing to worry about having a bad week.
For me the eye opener is working with actual owners of the company that is profitable, is constantly growing, offers an honest product that is designed to provide maximum value to clients. We literally have no marketing and have to turn down clients because we can't grow fast enough.

No politics, just pure honesty and problem solving.

I will probably never again want to work for the company where the management has to please a lot of other people, make suboptimal (read: "stupid") decisions just for the optics of it and where there are no people you can talk to that have absolute decision power and the only goal being the good of the company.
There's one addon that doesn't work fine: Stylus Dropbox login fails due to "can't access property "getRedirectURL", chrome.identity is undefined".
This article reads very strangely. Aramaic at least the Jewish Babylonian dialect is extremely alive. Children learn it in school, and thousands and thousands of adults study texts every day written in Aramaic.
The people who do this aren't interested in putting in full workweeks and delivering good work.

Their goal is to find jobs and managers with low expectations, then sandbag as much as possible ("Gee, this task is harder than I thought. Going to take a couple weeks longer than we estimated!").

Had a team member try this and an old company. We caught on quickly when they couldn't keep up with their workload and were constantly unavailable during the day. Really sucked for the rest of the team who had to pick up the slack this person created by pretending to work full time.
Speaking from my own experience, with a much, much larger bill: AWS support will most-likely ask you to set up the cloudwatch alarms and billing alerts properly, and to provide a plan to mitigate further issues. Once you've done that, they will be more inclined to reduce the charges.
To clarify, I mentioned DynamoDB because it has a unit-costs model rather than an amortized-over-time cost model, and when you can harness that (and then focus on a simplified COGS model) you can do very well.
States would have to prove intention, which would be very difficult.

States cannot restrict interstate travel as mentioned in the Articles of Confederation.

> The second, expressly addressed by the first sentence of Article IV, provides a citizen of one state who is temporarily visiting another state the “Privileges and Immunities” of a citizen of the latter state.

Furthermore, of the abortion is performed in the destination state, the citizen would be covered by the privileges and immunities of that state, and the former would have no recourse.

Edit: it appears Kavanaugh already weighed in on this issue. While obviously not a legal decision, it at least provides one judge's perspective:

The benefit is that you can treat the database schema as the single source of truth as to what data is valid. Otherwise what tends to happen is that different code components will have different ideas of what exactly is valid. This is also important because databases tend to be longer-lived than the code that accesses them.
It is interesting that the web3 world is filled with all kinds of hype about how it's so different and more inclusive- but the venture numbers suggest otherwise.

That the numbers in general are so stark (and these percentages only reflect the percentage of companies funded who have at least one Black, Latinx, or woman on the founding team, not even that they are 'led' by them) is worthy of some serious investigation, even if a government task force isn't likely to be the solution.

I don't think just the identities of founders are the only thing broken in the VC model but it's telling that the numbers are SO crazy bad.
The value prop is only clear to me from reading your show HN description. The copy on the site itself is the same sort of marketing-speak I see on every other job website. I have to scroll pretty deep to even get a hint of what you've described to us on HN.

You can buy new, fresh, 100% compatible mainframe hardware from the same companies where you bought them 30 years ago, that's not an issue. They're not cheap but they never were anyway.
Oh sure, the in-universe explanation is that the fallen Valar Melkor, who became known as Morgoth the Black after his destruction of the Trees of the Valar, used his might to pervert and destroy the works of the other 11/12 Valar and "brought forth fire and leveled mountains and raised valleys" to create hellscapes out of their work, such that the Earth, instead of a garden, became discordant and all the plans of the Valar were marred. After the end of the First Age, when the host of the Valar came to the aid of Middle Earth and destroyed Melkor's fortress, and brought him to judgement to be cast into the Outer Dark, there was further geologic destruction as the powers of the hosts basically destroyed the continent/region of Middle Earth known as Beleriand.

After THAT there was a further catastrophe as the Numenoreans, corrupted into the Dark Arts by Sauron, who was their captive, decided to wage war on the Valar, who they believed were keeping the secret of immortality from them. The Valar were in a pickle, and abdicated their powers and called on Eru to judge, because this was outside their mandate. He Atlantis'd Numenor and destroyed the majority of their people (who had turned to worshiping Morgoth) - the Numenoreans who founded Gondor and Arnor and who created the political landscape of the Third and Fourth Ages were the remnant of that fallen civilization, who were warned of the destruction of the isle of Numenor and escaped on boats.

Also it can be supposed that Mordor was a partial creation of Sauron, who fled there after the fall of Numenor as a spirit (could be wrong about that)
I feel like if it was that simple, someone would have written instructions somewhere at the time. I remember having to set xpinstall.signatures.required before FF 57. I am not sure about extensions.expirements.enabled.

Unfortunately, I'm now at a point where I can't be bothered constantly fucking around with my setup and have resigned myself to just accepting whatever Mozilla wants to shove down my throat.

From what I can tell, the community has forked pentadactyl[0] and are using it on Palemoon[1]. I'm guessing if it could still run on Firefox today, they would do that instead of using Palemoon (but I could be wrong). Anyway, I still hate that they killed what made Firefox unique. Trying to beat Chrome at it's own game seems like a pointless battle.

> The authors likely didn't analyze it.

That's my reading of the paper, yes.

> It gives a value in eV, that can be extrapolated outwards though I am not exactly sure how.

It gives values in eV, yes, and 1 eV ~= 96 kJ/mol, if you're more familiar with those units. However, what they're looking at is peaks in the x-ray diffraction spectra, indicating presence of compounds with various specific binding energies. That doesn't really tell anything about the energy efficiency of the process as a whole.

> It's possible to produce gasoline from CO2+extra+H and extreme heat and pressure. This seems more achievable. Such designs were, I think, using nuclear heat almost directly.

There's a whole raft of different processes to produce hydrocarbons given CO2, H2, and some energy input. Fischer-Tropsch is perhaps the most famous. This could be yet another one, if they can make it work out. If it can be more cost effective than existing approaches, it's really really awesome, but won't "save the world" by itself of course.
Now, it IS "optional", but Norton has found a way to make Norton 360 worse. The mind boggles at what they'll do next.

Anytime I can uninstall Norton or McAfee from a client's system, it gives me such joy. They get 10 to 15 percent better performance, too, when they're gone.
More like 2 I guess? Tbh running apps on Kubernetes is quite simple provided you have a pre-existing cluster. Running Kubernetes itself is definitely not simple and unless you already have a team skilled at running such things I would always opt for one of managed clusters from the big cloud providers.
I am current in the process with FAANG for an MLE position.

One of the interviews today was focused on the task that I will be working with, we started from a simple instance of the problem, and saw how we could improve upon it. The task revolved around querying and identifying entities. We worked through multiple instances to see how we can improve on the initial approach, or how to handle odd cases.

After that some leetcode was included.

The other two interviews were more on general technical and ml stuff.

I found this approach to better than other kinds of interviews I have gone through.
The point they are making is that if you’re hiring a fake person for a job who can’t do the job, some of the screening questions should’ve let you pick up on that. And if you don’t you’re at best a bad interviewer.
This. I've reached a point where I ignore most of my e-mail. Not even bothering organising it.

> Come on, a charlatan who invented the electrical system we are still using today?

Did he? http://edisontechcenter.org/AC-PowerHistory.html

I still stand by my opinion and believe his patents and inventions were based on the ideas of others and his celebrity status afforded him this. I also suspect that the USA at the time was more than happy to side with American inventors in patent disputes.
Probably would cheaper and easier to figure out how to be a vendor for space companies; software, ground hardware, construction, etc.

If the future is space and space exploration, we are going to need and have a lot more landing / launch pads with the need to build quickly and manage them cheaply.

Another side could be becoming a vendor of space or rocket equipment (materials, parts, suits, whatever) and focusing on making them better and cheaper. I think there is a lot of room for this since SpaceX is honestly the only big game in town, the rest are kind of jokes in terms of R&D speed.

Most likely customers would be non-SpaceX until you build up enough internal knowledge and products for a single topic where SpaceX will acquire you to integrate into their production pipeline.
Very nice write-up. I'd be curious to see it using fetch rather than the older xhr Api - that would make more sense as a library today I think? Or are there compelling reasons to stick with xhr in a post-ie world?
But video is probably the most data-intensive thing most people interact with. How many webpages, books, songs, pdfs is equivalent to a 4 minute 1080p Youtube video?

Glad you find joy in it. It's 6502 assembly, in case you were wondering - Though the chip was a low-voltage 6502-alike called the Sunplus.

Those things were pretty crazy when they glitched out, my friend had one which would get thrown in into a loop where it just open and close its eyes looking from side to side going WEAOWEAOWEAOWEAO like some kind of possessed demon until you took the batteries out.

There are entire subreddits devoted to how incredibly fake instagram and TikTok people make themselves look with filters so yes, this is already normal with real people. It would not take much.
Thanks, didn't realize the actual paper was available.

So, for this to work, you'd need a decent temperature and a supply of H2. I'm also guessing the CO2 needs to be somewhat pure, so you'd need Cryogenic distillation to pull out the pure CO2 [1].

Seems like it'd be pretty energy intensive (Not that I'd think it'd be otherwise. Conservation of energy and all)

If you remove all references to china/beijing, this could easily be confused for facebook. Even that scary sounding March 2020 issue to do with passwords, cryptocurrency wallets, etc, is to do with clipboard snooping - which facebook also did.

This is not whataboutism - we should hold ALL tech companies to the same standards.
This is something I'd love to make, but I fear it would be impossible to make it less than 500 USD, currently. Not including taxes.
https://stanmed.stanford.edu/2017spring/how-health-insurance...

You should read this before claiming I show "total ignorance of the history of the healthcare system in America". Stop making excuses for shitty politicians.

I'll quote some for you to start:

>By the 1990s, the Blues, which offered insurance in all 50 states, were hemorrhaging money, having been left to cover the sickest patients. In 1994, after state directors rebelled, the Blues’ board relented and allowed member plans to become for-profit insurers. Their primary motivation was not to charge patients more, but to gain access to the stock market to raise some quick cash to erase deficits. This was the final nail in the coffin of old-fashioned noble-minded health insurance.

>WellPoint’s first priority appears no longer to be its patient/ members or even the companies and unions that choose it as an insurer, but instead its shareholders and investors. As in any for-profit enterprise, executives are compensated for how well they perform that financial function and are compensated well. In 2010 WellPoint had intended to hike premiums in California by 39 percent, before an attorney general effectively nixed the plan. CEO Angela Braly received total annual compensation of more than $20 million in 2012, despite the fact that she resigned under pressure that year because the company revenues were down. Joe Swedish, the new CEO appointed in 2013, is a longtime health care executive who served at the for-profit Hospital Corporation of America. His starting salary and bonus totaled about $5 million, not including stock options.

>To express their collective frustration, members gathered signatures for a MoveOn.org petition: “Anthem Blue Cross: Stop Playing Politics with Our Premiums.” They urged their insurer “to stop spending corporate funds on political campaigns, disclose everything it has spent directly or indirectly on political campaigns, and use the money to lower rates for Anthem policy-holders and California taxpayers.”

>To increase profits, all insurers, regardless of their tax status, have been spending less on care in recent years and more on activities like marketing, lobbying, administration and the paying out of dividends.
From a practical point of view, absolutely. Excellent advice.

But it hurts to see behind the curtain, and see that this tactic is necessary because of the excuses given by several very important people. It makes it very obvious for us that the power imbalance is terrible, and that they are able to get away with behavior that they wouldn’t tolerate from others.
You're getting downvoted because the most well known duck-typed languages, and probably where people first learned the term from, are all examples of very dynamic languages like python, ruby, and even js.

I'm sure there are others but the main language anyone knows static duck-typing for is go. In go at least, the interfaces get checked against implementations based what instances are bound to what interface variables or parameters at compile time.
This. There is no need for a cloud server. Even better get a 10GB port private server from Interserver and stop using Heroku.
Another good reason to avoid "passwordless" and magic links in email from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31892299 is that some email clients or server stacks "click" on links, and perhaps even use their search crawlers to index sites they visit from the links.

That could result in private user content being indexed by the crawler if it's not configured correctly, or if it didn't realise this.

This also introduces another complication on figuring out whether the user clicked it twice, or whether one click was actually the email server provider doing some "scanning" by clicking all the private links in the email...
Of course, but obviously when left to nature, that newly created clump of cells, which is a new person in a primitive state, will eventually gain cognition and develop preferences.

Your argument seems to suggest that a comatose person would have the same entitlement to life and an unborn person.

My frustration with replies like this one is assuming that everyone here is working on personal projects or at tiny startups trying to get users.

A lot of us work at big companies with lots of users and demand and aren't just making POCs, but every time we bring up scaling or maintenance or monitoring we are told not to worry about that yet.
Methanol may be more transportable than electricity. Imagine a farm of floating wind farms far in the ocean, located in places where the wind conditions are reliable. If they produce methanol, you do not have to run a long power cable to the nearest shore, you just need to visit them every now and then with a cistern ship.
ZeroMQ is too weird for me, yeah. NATS JetStream and NSQ are both promising but their durability options are unclear and while I have a background in devops/system architecture, I'm looking at building something whose entire staff is literally only me and so while I'm sure I can deploy it, I'm not sure I can effectively run it. SQS will do what I expect it to do, and that's pretty powerful.
My experience has run contrary to this. No matter how good of a job I do at work, I've never gotten a significant pay bump, certainly nothing on the order of 50%.

Your other points reasonate strongly - financial security is nice but for most of us, at some point it's overkill and just becomes money hoarding.

Those same jobs definitely only operate outside of school hours, to help promote their employees growth, right?

Every situation is different.

My eldest has moderate autism. I had to remind him last Saturday 165 times (I counted) to not touch a delicate trinket my partner has on display. I eventually chose to put it away.

No amount of "respect" or reinforcement will fix this. His wiring is all screwed up.
Regarding 1) and following 2) you only need to make realistic-enough video that it passes as a person and is similar enough to the target person. For example, you can have a pretrained model (e.g., using zero targeted data) and search for some configuration that is closest to the target person. You only need to match a few variables (e.g., ethnicity, gender, hair color, age) before the fake is plausible.
yuck. gonna fix that today, thanks
I only read assembly these days, not write it. Usually when looking at profiling outputs for my hot path. So knowing assembly is still very valuable when you routinely find your code isn't keeping up with your data, and scaling isn't an option.
The same is true of Latin, but that's still considered a "dead" language. It's not the same to learn to read something for scholarly reasons, vs using it as one's native tongue.
It’s true, but kind of a non-sequiteur. The post isn’t about getting blocked in general, it’s about the internal reasons/ways that individuals tend to get stuck on their own.

Furthermore, if the story you tell yourself is “I’m great, the main thing that I get stuck on is when others mess up and I need to fix it”, then even if that is in fact true, you miss an opportunity for acquiring self-knowledge by investigating the patterns of self-inflicted stuckness.

Put differently, maybe the mistakes of others are outside your control, but your own weak spots (everybody has them, it’s fine) are within your control to improve upon. And one of the more important jobs of a good manager is to use the 30k ft view to help individuals to spot and work on improving these patterns.
It's performance art.
Let's Unify AI
Sure, but not all of us are working at tiny startups or on personal projects. Many of us here work for large companies that have real scale already and are trying to solve those problems.

Why does everyone assume everyone else works at tiny startups?
Yes! I think two things with code examples have a significant impact, at least for me personally- 1) the examples are complete and work and 2) line-by-line explanation.

A lot of resources show a snippet of code, followed by an impenetrable paragraph that tries to explain multiple concepts from the snippet all at once. Maybe that works for others, but for me it makes it impossible to parse and overwhelms me, so nothing sticks.
This very much reminds me of certain amateur communities on the old Usenet discussing physics and posting various crackpot theories. I don't know what it is about the topic that attracts this kind of person. Maybe it's just the asymmetry of the low effort needed to propose an idea, vs. the high effort required to refute it.
I recently read a near-future sci-fi story (linked somewhere on here, I think) about an AI breaking out of its contained environment and taking over the world before we could figure out what happened and stop it (took a couple weeks, IIRC).

The TL;DR is that once it had enough compromised machines to run social media botnets, it was all over. It could use those to confound efforts to coordinate and compare data, to misdirect huge numbers of people and cause all kinds of chaos, and to smear opponents before they could get their message out (fakes or actual stolen information—it hardly mattered, all it needed to do was neutralize certain people for a few days). The story contrived to have a secret project that was able to try to resist it after that (spoiler: didn't help) but otherwise the social media botnets were enough for it to buy several days in which no-one was able to effectively work against it.
