Not only is this is needless pedantry, it's also incorrect, making it a very typical HN comment.

It is not uncommon to refer to pointers as "mouse cursors" or shorten it to just "cursor". In fact, Wikipedia considers pointers to be a subset of cursors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_(user_interface)#Pointe...

"In computer user interfaces, a cursor is an indicator used to show the current position for user interaction on a computer monitor or other display device that will respond to input from a text input or pointing device."

Would a Raspberry Pi with PoE hat plus USB Z-wave stick (plus USB wifi radio, if you're looking for it to also be a "AP" and want better than out of the box with hostapd) work for you?

Z-wave's relay design makes hub placement less of an issue than with e.g. wifi, which is probably why you don't see much attention paid to mounting/appearance concerns. It doesn't much matter, so long as you have a device near the hub, then another device near that one, and so on.

Like literally google owns youtube and it has something like 100 times that scale. Text searching on 800m strings is a solved problem.
HN will often claim something is unusable and not what it used to be when the general public is quite happy with it and its working very well. I think it's more a bias against the wider product or company. HN users do not like YouTube and Google in general so any minor issue gets overblown while they would be quite happy to compile a new kernel to get PeerTube running.

Yeah, this is a huge problem for crypto in general.

Thanks for the feedback! Roughly speaking, that all has to do with making e vanish later, so perhaps I need to revisit that section.

Quickly (cause I probably won't for a few days), (q//2)m can be seen as a form of error correction. You can check (either pen+paper or programmatically) that, provided |e| < q/4, if noisy_m = (q//2) m + e, then round(noisy_m / (q/4)) = m. So e vanishes because it is bounded (not uniform), + we encode m as (q//2)*m (i.e. in the "most significant bits" of the number).

I mean, people were screaming that the Terra ecosystem was going to collapse since forever. It's just that different people invested in it anyway. There's nothing impossible about verifying the legitimacy of any endeavour, people just don't do it.

Honest people will do honest work and succeed or fail on their own terms, the fact that there are a hundred scams running adjacent to the honest projects is unfortunate and very disruptive but doesn't actually fundamentally block honest work.

People have been using laptops and desktops (including from apple), on which they can run their own software, for literally decades. Closed systems are new, not open ones. My 60 year old boomer father who has 9 years of education can find his way around on the command line. Yes, people don't understand tech very well any more because we're giving them crippled tech, and treat them as if they are helpless. It's the paternalism that makes people illiterate, not the other way around.

It's such a belittling attitude. Only the chosen HN users and managers in Cupertino with their high IQs can control their devices, everyone else must be handed toys lest they might do something wrong. Replace user with voter in your post and you have the bog standard authoritarian argument for banning half of all newspapers.

And as for privacy, the EU has the strongest privacy protections on the globe for a reason. We passed privacy regulation so we don't need to rely on Apple to run a sort of protection racket.

I had a great conversation this evening with a marine biologist studying the recent collapse of a 100,000 sq km California kelp forest. The grants for the science of ecosystem stewardship are in the 10k-50k$ range.

Over the past few years, something killed over 5 billion giant starfish and “science” has no idea what did it. Without the starfish, the sea urchin population exploded, turning kelp forest into desert.

I love the LHC. But we need to seriously grow the science pie and prioritize the science of ecosystem collapse and management. There simply aren’t enough trained scientists.

Could you share what made you choose Zig over V for the project? It looks like both languages would have been an appropriate choice.
> 1. Is easily “fixed” by a very powerful feature called “search and replace.”

True, but reconciling translation files based on different keys can get messy. Using keys which aren't directly tied to the original language solves this.

> 2. You usually (or it’s recommended to) translate entire phrases

The kind of situation I'm thinking of is words that are used alone, but which are disambiguated by context -- for example, "clear" could be an action meaning "remove everything", or a synonym for "transparent", or an odd term for "approve".
One of the most horrible phrases that was popularized in the last few years is "Trust the science" as if science were just another religion.
AWS best practices is to use AWS SSO, which accomplishes this same effect but without any long-lived local credentials. It works really well.
If you ever interview apple developers for other companies, or just inspect what is being sent to apple's servers constantly from their devices, you'll realize that apple is recording A LOT of very private info about their users.

Apple is very much a 'private from everyone but apple' company, they smartly just don't talk about it out loud. For their high level apps like TV and such, have things like privacy review. But their security, activation and map parts do record a lot of info.
Other nation states and capitalist big corp are the only other groups with the resources to produce such things.

Good luck there.
To grow the science pie you need to shrink the military pie. To shrink the military pie you need to make profiting off of science much more lucrative than profiting off of slaughter.
> If they can pull it off

In my book, that still is a big if. From the rumors I read, they may be able to pull something off, but ‘it’ may be fairly limited because they’ll price the product at a level where few will be willing to pay that amount.

Between the lines in this article, I read the belief that, if Apple decides to sell a product in any field, it will always be much better than what anybody else can make, and corner the market, dollar-wise. In a world with many more companies with very deep pockets, I don’t believe that. It’s not like Meta didn’t try, did they?

But yeah, that is scary.
I'm not saying I think everyone on HN is doing their homework.

I'm saying that if you want to make sure you're not running yourself in circles and letting your own previous assumptions dominate your ongoing judgment, you should be doing your homework.

If you don't keep doing your homework you will almost certainly fall into that trap.

It wouldn't surprise me if the level of correlation between intelligence and "doing your homework" was near-0, to be honest, but that's just a guess in part based on people's behaviors on HN. ;)

In the U.S. at least, we already have a fairly good proxy for observing the effects of one time cash transfers: tax returns (not unconditional of course). They are indeed sources of stress during that time of year that can make or break relationships in poorer areas in my experience. A favorite skit from comedian Lou Ratchett on that: https://youtu.be/rV10F1zpfCs.

More interesting than a single payment which can be fleeting is the effect of a long-term increase in income. For example, what happened to the families who received increased food stamp benefits during the pandemic?
"The data are most consistent with the notion that receiving some but not enough money made participants’ needs---and the gap between their resources and needs---more salient, which in turn generated feelings of distress."

I think the current title "Cash Transfers: No positive effect of cash – if anything, negative effects (ssrn.com)" is greatly missing the message here.

You read the book Walkaway? Where the first chapter is called "Communist Party", where the protagonists of the book take over a furniture factory to produce free furniture for their friends, then go off to live in a world where machines provide for everyone and no one is required to work for their survival?

Are you familiar with the Marxist concept of "worker ownership of the means of production?" That is what they are alluding to both in the first chapter and in the rest of the book. The people in the first chapter regularly refer to themselves as communists. That is why they call their party a communist party. And they have taken over a factory to produce free goods for their friends. That is a very communist thing to do!

Perhaps you have confused anarchist communism, which is described in his books, with the authoritarian communism common in the 20th century, which is not described in his books.

But he writes extensively about worlds where the means of production are held in common ownership to produce enough for everyone, so no one has to work if they don't want to. These have always been the ideals of communism.

EDIT:
Here is Doctorow saying on his own website that the people in the book Walkaway are communists.
https://craphound.com/podcast/2019/12/02/party-discipline-a-...

"Party Discipline is a story set in the world of Walkaway, about two high-school seniors who conspire to throw a “Communist Party” at a sheet metal factory whose owners are shutting down and stealing their workers’ final paychecks. These parties are both literally parties — music, dancing, intoxicants — and “Communist” in that the partygoers take over the means of production and start them up, giving away the products they create to the attendees. Walkaway opens with a Communist Party and I wanted to dig into what might go into pulling one of those off."
You focused so much on the strawman (infertility) that you forgot to answer the very real question right behind it (stigmatization of people who voluntarily choose to be child-free).
>Those things are definitely interesting from a technical point of view, but they solve problems that are uniquely created by crypto, and are not really needed outside of it.

Well, I mean, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lots of new tech brings new problems and new solutions that wouldn't apply at all to old tech. We had very little need for super precision honed turbines in 1900. We sure are happy to have them now though.

I look forward to the crypto crash as much as any "paper hands hater". But I can't dislike it for being new or novel.
> But my experience has been that even when students are starting their doctorates there's very clear tiers -- even out of the pool of doctoral students in Oxford.

This might be true, but it's really really hard for someone who doesn't work with them day-to-day to distinguish.

Your article pointed out the same problem in getting novel worked reviewed - it was extremely hard to find people for that. I know in my case it was even worse - funding proposals generally come from research group leaders, and there at least you have a body of work to look at and can judge their likelihood to succeed.

But if you are trying to look at an individual's work how can you judge it when all you have to go on is peer reviews and maybe interviews with supervisors or peers?

Supervisors' motivations are already complicated - most of the time they would want an individual in their group funded because their work is generally aligned with that research group's field.

It's a pretty tricky problem.
an interesting analog is if you have a house of cards on a table, it's in a way "trying to settle" into the lowest energy state possible which is post collapse all the cards on the table!

very next line:

> When someone guzzles down some newly fabricated energy drink or gallons of soda, they're nearly certainly damaging their bodies in ways science does not yet understand.

"millions of years of evolution" is what gave us the craving for sweetness, science is why we now know it's bad.

Intuition is not a reliable compass, and is built around local circumstance. For example, "gut feelings" like disgust are often how people justify acting on their morally corrupt behavior.

Ask yourself how risky this investment is, and why existing financial services aren't arbitraging it away. 1% a month is ~12% per year, which is comparable to CCC+ corporate bonds.

This article contains a plethora of inaccuracies

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. It's impossible to tell from the thread however, whose own counterclaims definitely ring hollow. For example:

Jeff spends a lot of time repeating the baseless allegations of just 2 Crawfish residents to support his entire article. But what do the vast majority of Crawfish Rock residents actually think? Perhaps he should have asked Virginia Mann:

Doesn't explain why the allegations are baseless; let alone why Virginia Mann's views should be taken as representative of "the vast majority of Crawfish Rock residents".
Yeah, that is how I read it. Maybe not praiseworthy but at least as a sort of "well everybody does it so it must be ok" moral stance. Whereas climate change is an objective claim about nature as opposed to a moral imperative.
