I really want to like vim and I love some things about it, like the ability to move chunks about with only the keyboard. But so many things about it kill me. Like, why can't I hit right at the end of a line, and move to the next line? Who thinks that is a good idea? Also, why do I have to have a special mode to insert things? Having to change modes just seems so complex and unintuitive. And why does the help system never tell me what I want?

The frustration is that probably there are fixes for all these things, which if I were an expert I would know. But meanwhile I can use an ordinary visual text editor and I don't have to learn anything new.
this makes very little sense? in what way would a bot ever be monetizable and "view" ads?

Definitely a hurdle to overcome for beginners.

Although, it would help to show beginners exactly why abandoning the mouse will be better in the long run. It wouldn't do well for them to always rely on it in place of more efficient commands. Some people might always use the arrow keys instead of hjkl, for example, when hjkl will be better in the long run since they are on the home row.

Sometimes when I see an especially good comment on hacker news I click on the name and read through other things they've written. You find really insightful stuff this way.

One day I see dang write a comment that was really interesting about how threads tend to develop over time, like some kind of law of webforums.

Ressource hungryness has changed since flash is no more.

Somewhere around half of the last decade, we starting having Chrome and Firefox taking hundred of megabytes per tabs and totalizing a few gigabytes that put them very close to what flash used to take, maybe cpu usage is still lower though.
That's not what that measures, since you can look at the denser residential areas in large cities like Houston or smaller cities like Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis etc and find the opposite. Only when you mix in downtown commercial districts that have residential housing (typically stacked on top of stores) do you see that. But the denser inner ring neighborhoods outside of a commercial zone are generally much cheaper than more spread out suburban neighborhoods where people typically want to live.

So there is no correlation.
> This seems ridiculously low given HS2 in the UK is planned to have 18tph on the core line (to various destinations, but still).

Before COVID-19, there were more than 40 trains a day from Madrid to different destinations (Sevilla, Cordoba, Barcelona), and over 20 to many others, so the difference is not that large.

But then also, London is around three times larger and has a bigger weight in its country economy, than Madrid. It just makes sense that more people commute or travel to London anyway.

Agreed with the first part about love and what popular support means. That was also my point.

As for the rest: what is the point of what you say? "May" have successfully brainwashed people. "May" have had nothing to do with successes. Even if those are true, what do they have to do with the point of whether Chinese people fear speaking up? Their truthiness don't negate the fact that anti-CCP sentiment is being actively hijacked to attack China and its people, and few people seem to care despite putting up a fascade of "loving the Chinese people and only hating the CCP". That is one of my major grievances about China discussions.

Fox News and CNN some of the largest news networks, and not all of Fox is partisan entertainment. Same for CNN which aired critical stories about Hillary Clinton’s e-mails every single day for months in 2016.

The point was to bring another datapoint into the mix. If CNN were burying economic stories bad for Democrats, why isn’t Fox News the partisan entertainment network featuring them? Maybe the stories just aren’t so interesting to people? Or maybe they’re not so bad as you think?

I tend to watch all 3 cable networks and inflation, recession worries, good jobs and unemployment numbers, and high but declining gas prices have been topics on all 3 this week. I just don’t see how anyone is hiding anything. The information is there, as you pointed out. Every story I saw yesterday about good jobs numbers had caveats about inflation and recession worries. I mean, are you suggesting that people aren’t aware of these things?

Learning new things is fun and you get used to it. I like the shift A command for moving to the end of the line (and go directly to insert mode). A good tip is to mainly stay in edit mode (and remap caps to escape and hammer that to go back to the default non insert mode whenever you're done).
That's a tough cookie for sure but sillysauraus is not seeing the big picture.

It is tragic that we don't have yummyfajitas' or michaelochurch's takes which went against the grain and were probably interesting in some ways, but they in the end shot themselves in the foot by delivering their message in odiously-scented wrappings. Frequently employing ad hominem attacks, calling women names, etc. quickly evaporates the credibility of the person behind them, sours the culture of the community, and is just not a very good thing to do, irrespective of whatever validity or truth is being conveyed.
To be fair, neuroscientists and psychologists alike do not yet know the mechanism behind the conscious observer, we can't currently describe machines in these terms because we can't even describe ourselves.

As usual with Tesseract it's great if you want generic OCR that gives 97-98% accuracy with little to no work, but it's never going to hit 100% or near across all fonts, diagrammatic input etc.

I have just given up on Tesseract for parsing engineering diagrams where the one single font is used throughout and rolled my own non-ML OCR using opencv that requires a little setup but easy hits 99.9% on a character basis and is way quicker, plus uses way less data stored.

I couldn't get Tesseract to pick Z against 2, I against 1 etc reliably when no serifs, no matter what i did for preprocessing - dilate/erode, threshold, border, contours with smoothing, x2 and x5 resize, all the modes and so on.

Because it's engineering diagrams only limited contextual guidance can be used, it's basically independent characters each time.

They say retraining Tesseract won't help, but surely it would for certain fonts - what am I supposed to do about the 1 vs I then, as one example? I could pre or post process, but once I set up to do that for a few specific cases I can do a little more and then do the whole alphabet and get way better performance without Tesseract at all.

And then there is the stupid Autocad font designed for pen plotters like HP-7585 or HP-7475 that no one owns any more, but the font with the square zero lives on, and that is a problem on it's own.

Anyhoo, I tried out the OCRmyPDF on a few things, it could be useful in the right circumstances, but by no means magic. Nanonets or pdfsumo seem to do way better, plus can handle tables.

Five High Frequency Indicators for the Economy
As the saying goes, you never really appreciate what you’ve got[1] until it’s gone.

[1] (an unhealthy addiction to an orange website)
This article is extremely confusing. It's comparing stocks, a purely financial instrument, with a personal home that you live in and calling that "flipping houses." It's just all over the place and very surprising it's coming from such a mainstream publication.

People mainly buy the houses they live in in order to have a place to live, full stop. Investment properties are a completely different concept and most Americans aren't involved in real estate investing whereas most Americans are involved in buying personal homes. It also totally makes sense people who are very unfamiliar with financial instruments (like young people) don't have any idea about what sort of return they have. Everyone's familiar with houses though - TFA says 2/3rds of Americans own their house.

Like, duh, you aren't going to make money just buying a house to live in - If I sold my house at a big profit because the housing market overall increased I'd still have to live somewhere so my "profit" would just go into the increased cost of my new house and I'd be out closing fees and agent fees on both ends.

I think a house you buy to live in is a bad investment and I own much more stocks than I have equity in my house. I've put thousands into my house in the last several months especially and it only seems to be getting more and more expensive every year I own it. I'm thinking I might have to reduce my monthly savings for the first time ever.

However, I have to live somewhere and I like the security of owning my house and I like that I can customize it and nobody tells me I can't have cats. I have the money to pay extra for that. It's not an investment though, at least not a financial one.

If I were buying this model I wouldn't mind buying it from System76 if you're not ultra-price sensitive to show support for their coreboot and open-source EC development.

The Intel i7-1255U is about 20% slower than an Intel i7-1260P or an AMD 5800U, so it's performance isn't bad, but personally I'd rather have a >16:9 >1080p >300 nit display (similar alternatives with better displays: Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen2, Slimbook Executive 14, Framework 12th Gen)

Thanks! I heard of this back in the day but I didn't know it reached the courts now. I feel this is a bit self-inflicted though. A valuable service like this is already under scrutiny for copyrights and playing chicken with big publishers with tons of money to spend on lawyers is a really bad idea. I'm also opposed to the way copyright works but I would separate that fight from the service.

I guess it got them some goodwill during Corona but it could cause more damage than it's worth.

I wouldn't have done it, it was not like it was a real value during the pandemic. Those who are really into books and don't care about copyright already know their way to more gray-area sites like LibGen.
That's not the argument being made though. Their argument is that Twitter has refused to hand over more than a cherrypicked data sample rather than a full data set. The argument is the full data set shows they've been defrauding shareholders by lying about the extent of the bot problem, and Twitter refusing to let the new owner see the actual DAU data is more proof of fraud.

So if it goes to court Twitter could likely be compelled to open the hood, and if they are in fact hiding something then they'll opt to settle with Musk rather than prove the fraud.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's important to be upfront about what the accusation actually is.
I find their argument to be particularly ludicrous in the light of LaMDA and DALL-e. Unless they can point to a specific process in us that’s not computing (and we can kind of define Einsteinian physics in terms of spacetime doing computation and transporting state) I’ll remain very sceptical.

And Google, Siri, and Alexa all agree I’m on the right track, BTW.

And on

> this is published by the Discovery Institute Press, the imprint of the Discovery Institute, the people behind "Intelligent design" and "Teach the controversy".

Why is this that it’s always the same kind of people that seem likely to seek comfort by chanting “You’ll not replace us”?
Ask HN: Are Twitter bots a real problem?
Musk not buying Twitter because of the apparent fake account ‘problem’ is absurd. Of course Twitter has fake accounts and automated bots that are hooked up to Twitter’s API and perform automated tweeting. You can even declare in Twitter’s settings that the account is automated and let followers know the account is automated.

Some amount of automation on Twitter is good. Troll farms spreading disinformation may be bad however, so I can see an issue with that, but come on, why did musk bail on the deal?
Thanks! If you wanted any features that are missing, let me know!
True, but houses like that are far more expensive to build today. I'm not sure you could "flip" a new home built with traditional masonry since it would require a larger upfront investment. (Edit to add: the normal American usage of "flip" (buying a degraded property, fixing it up, and reselling) is also not really applicable to houses in move-in-ready condition.)

The original construction costs will probably have been recouped after 370 years of continuous occupancy, though. :)
I only recall getting danged once and it was spot-on. I wasn’t acting like a full on flaming ass, but there was at least a glowing ember there and he phrased his response in a way that made it easy to accept.
I’d add that their computations employ mechanisms that are outside the realm of logic.

Or

That I know white noise generators that make a more convincing argument.
Flipping houses is not that different then building houses. If you buy a house that is not inhabitable make, make it habitable and sell it for a profit, that is value added to the economy and is a good career path.

There are some people that take advantage of uninformed sellers buy a house cheap and put some paint on it and mark it up significantly, but there are bad people in every industry.

This paragraph makes it sound like a hit piece:
>>Between 2006, the peak of the previous housing bubble, and 2019, average home prices have increased just 13%, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. In that same time period, the S&P 500 rose 125%. In other words, stocks did 10 times better than real estate.

-Seletivly picks a period of the biggest housing crash in history and there is still increase.

-that would be the amount it increased with no value add.

-if you buy, hold, and rent you will make significantly more. If you are talking a 13 year period you are probably doing this. You buy with mortgage, have tenants pay mortgage, mortgage gets paid off plus profit. This stat leaves of monthly profit plus the fact you only had to 20% down, so you cash on cash return of just appreciation is closer to 75%. Also about 30% of your mortgage would get paid of if you had a 30 year mortgage, and almost all of a 15 year mortgage.

Real estate can grow with cpi and still be a good investment. You just can't be leech and have to add value to the economy. I.e Let some live there and build improvements. It is more hands on,but definitely better returns then the stock market.
