Hey, HN!

I'm happy to announce the release of a site I've been working on to help find immersion content that's engaging _and_ at your level (without sacrificing one for the other).

It's part-catalog, part-immersion tracker, and part-recommendation system.

Find content by genre/theme or media type (movie, TV, book, podcast, YouTube channel), add it to your library or bookmark it for later, give it a thumbs up/down rating, and rank its difficulty to help us build a global difficulty scale!

Thank you!

P.S. Made with Remix which made it a breeze
Besides the fact that TV shows always get consent all those being filmed, there is a quantitative difference between this and Candid Camera.

Too many people now want to engage in these fake and superficial acts of "kindness", and it's messing up general day-to-day behavior and values.
i agree, but think timelines are a practical necessity of business. this is why we get so much half-baked/unfinished stuff being released.

and this is where the trade-offs happen that dilute or misdirect an otherwise sound roadmap/strategy. some exec needs shit done so he can present to his boss and get his nice bonus, then jump ship before they realise its a clusterf*ck.
This article reminds me of the Unicode Japanese "Ghost" characters: https://www.dampfkraft.com/ghost-characters.html

Long story short:

Someone entered some characters erroneously in the Unicode spec and now those characters are there FOREVER.
Mounted filesystems are easy to corrupt and not necessarily protected against server side attacks. Also, not every sync provider implements good block level sync, so you may be wasting a lot of bandwidth this way.

I'd much rather go for classics like eCryptFs and EncFs. EncFs especially seems like a good match here, with its cross platform support. Gocryptfs also exists as a replacement, but portability doesn't seem to be as good.

Either way, they have the same advantage (mounting a file system transparently with access to file based sync) without the disadvantage of needing to download the entire LUKS container.

Optimizing for cloud sync is quite difficult. If we could trust something like AES ECB (we can't, don't use it) we could efficiently synchronise only changes to files like we can with unencrypted files, but alas. Partial modification with the same key and the same IV often go against the assumptions made by encryption modes and can easily introduce vulnerabilities. You probably also need to at least re-encrypt the rest of the file if you change just a single bit in the middle.
>It isn't perfect (massive bubble on the free market right now) but seems to work well enough.

No it doesn't. We have massive wait lists for social housing, and being middle class arguably leaves you in a worse state due to social housing eligibility only applying to very low incomes, and anyone with an office job close to the city will easily earn too much for social housing, but not enough for private norms. Meanwhile those with social housing are incentivized to stay as the costs are far lower than private, and the repercussions are lacking.

The problem has been obvious for decades, yet the government felt zero incentive to do anything when it was possible. To top it off, there's a general reluctance to build due to emission limits. And our government is actively bending over to the farmers making things even worse.

The Netherlands is the perfect example of what not to do when trying to intervene.
I can't speak for Australia, but in the United States, there is generally no right to privacy in a public area. The model consent forms are more of a CYA than a legal requirement. It's useful as evidence to dismiss charges rather than go through the hassle and expense of a full trial.

In addition, requiring the consent of people in public places would make it difficult for individuals to record illegal conduct committed by others, especially law enforcement.
But I'd imagine that Candid Camera required "participants" to sign a release. Same for those "Funniest Home Videos" and even stuff like Borat (and Tom Green, etc. before him).
The reason this act breaks a moral boundary is that it subverts a
principle of "ends" [1]. A genuine random act of kindness cannot occur
if it's being filmed. Filming the act turns it into a virtue
display. It also turns the subject into an object of utility, a means
and not and end in themself.

In my experience there's this weird unspoken "rule" regarding collecting something like Lego, computers, keyboards, cars, etc, that you're never allowed to shrink your collection, just grow it forever.

Maybe think of it as curating or collating your collection?

There may be museums that would take your items, and you can be sure that they'll be cared for correctly by experts.
You really need to consider you access patterns up front with DynamoDB. Any changes of those during application development can be very time consuming. There are limitations on how many local and global secondary indexes you can have. You also can’t easily add them to existing tables. However, you can use multiple databases to get the best of both worlds. At my employer, we typically store domain entities in DynamoDB as the source of truth. However, we replicate some entities to secondary databases like OpenSearch when we have access patterns that require adhoc querying.
This law does not apply to filming the police. See the authoritative French government interpretation here:

http://www.montpellier-journal.fr/fichiers/circulairephotosp...

And see here where the French Constitutional Council struck down a law that would have criminalized filming with the intent to cause harassment of officers:

It's referring to Intel processors with hardware IBRS support, e.g.: Coffee Lake Refresh (e.g.: 9700, 9900) and newer. On those CPUs, Windows also makes use of IBRS alongside retpoline compilation of the kernel. See the table[1] in the linked article.

Keep. With how the inflation is going I'd even keep your old refrigerators around.
And it may not, in which case you've stored these for years for no real reason. I'm selling off the majority of my own collection because of this. I've told myself for years "maybe when things quiet down I can make a cool space to show them off". In the meantime, I've moved four times and had three kids. Most of it has been in boxes or bins throughout. I just have to accept that my life changed directions and it's not going to happen.
If you film in public places (depending on the country) it's often legal. Still really rude though and should be socially discouraged.
Most APLs work just fine with n-dimensional arrays, even though the language only lets you write 1-dimensional array literals. So in practice, we write 1-dimensional arrays and reshape them as needed.

My point is just because you use a sequence-based input method (a programming language) doesn't mean you can't express structured data.

For example jq[1] does a decent job of expressing queries and transformations on JSON (JSON data are trees rather than arbitrary graphs). But trees are a very important type of graph, and I think a language with first-class support for trees would be in a better position to handle arbitrary graphs than a typical programming language.

The honest thing to do would be to donate any profits to charity and make a real apology. Sharing profits would just encourage this type of distasteful behaviour that social media seems to be encouraging.

I feel like the examples and description for "statements" fails to demonstrate their breadth.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

In fairness it's difficult to talk about statements accurately and succinctly without being more abstract - and perhaps the more general observation here is how explanation by example alone is not always sufficient. A more general and yet tangible starting point for statements in JS could be "anything ending in a semicolon" (not quite true but almost for normal code), which at least is better at highlighting it's breadth before piling into arbitrary examples.
Pokemon is definitely a simplified JRPG for children. But yes, it's still far more interesting than the mobile game, and there's no good reason why that has to be the case.
Your viewpoint concerns me greatly. I am absolutely stunned that the HN community can support this surface-level analysis.

What if a person finds themself in a position that gives them "implicit or explicit" power over a group of people (employees, students, whatever) and they use this position to utter "x-ist" beliefs that challenge the dogma of the day (which x-ism/x-phobia is a part of)? What if the very act of them speaking out perforates the layer of authoritarianism that governs and blinds most people such that they are enlightened as to the new religion that they've inherited whilst asleep?

Would you support them then?

> Asserting unrepentantly an "x-ist" opinion makes you _bad at that job_, and in fine capitalist tradition a better individual is found to replace you.

Such a job entails many facets - being poor at one doesn't necessarily nullify your talents elsewhere (though granted it _could_).

Who defines x-ism/x-phobia?
Sure, “blockchain is just like the early internet” is a bad argument, and one that’s used by some proponents. But if you give it a more charitable interpretation, such as “Not all successful technology is widely adopted within a decade of its inception”, it’s not quite as easy to knock down. Even VR went through (is still going through?) a long winter.

The rest of the points are in a similar vein, picking the worst, most literal interpretations of the arguments. Of course only gold is gold, the argument is that Bitcoin might be used as reserve currency.
That part is the good part! But more is needed. They will expect more from you. A role model that inspires meaning to them. That comes out of whatever you are doing and studying.

And congrats for achieving that position where you are, that's brilliant. A lot of people is unable to form healthy functioning families. But you in the inside will want more, you'll eventually be hungry for things that aren't transient.

You're in a great position to study classic philosophers and ask the big questions in life and see what comes to you from that.
This is all very simple in practice, the blockchain is barely useful, crypto coins and NFTs have very low utility.

At some point value and utility always converge.

A good heuristic to predict the value of something: would you get them if they were free of charge?

The only difficult thing is to predict when the convergence occurs.

The asymptotic value of Bitcoin is $0.
I'm curious how viable permanent AirBnBs will be once interest rates rise. It's easy to make ends meet when the house rises at 20% per year, and 2 weekends pays for the mortgage. If the same house's mortgage costs 4x and doesn't sell for 6 months it's a less attractive deal.

I'll be the first to acknowledge it isn't easy or straightforward. I understand why people don't want to have to do the work. If you do it poorly, you likely will end up worse off. If that's a real concern for someone, perhaps working as an employee will be a better fit. There are already laws governing what employers have to do if you go that route.

It's just not fair to universalize that experience. If I can and want to do the work, leave me alone and let me do it. Nobody's saying you have to do it this way. Nobody's saying you shouldn't be able to work as an employee for any employer that will have you. I'm just saying I want to run my work as a business, myself, and I don't think it should be up to you to tell me I can't just because you wouldn't want to.

What's so incredibly expensive about the 5G rollout that wasn't the case for "3G/4G"? You replace/mount more radios, make sure you have backhaul to carry the traffic.

I have no idea what the radios cost, but one thing that's for sure is that networking gear isn't that expensive. I know a guy that runs a teeny IX where everyone gets a 100GB port, because it's not that expensive.

Once you start doing stateful packet introspection, that's when price goes through the roof.
I love zulip. It's great. But it is like not integrated with jitsi at all. All it does is give you a randomly generated room url on jitsi's servers.
One of his comments from 2016 says he spends all of his 100k/year living in Vilnius. I don't know what kind of mansion he is living in but this guy is clearly completely detached from reality. Most people in eastern Europe barely break 2k a month, in many countries less than half that. No chance average rent is anywhere close to 5k.
No you cannot. Watt hour is a unit for energy derived by applying power over time. That’s why when you divide by a period of time you’re left with power. The unit “GWh of storage” is a complex unit that’s not easily broken up. When you divide by time you get a new unit, “GWh of storage per unit time”

She should have chucked them in a bin, and given the finger while the camera lingered to capture the "love and kindness". Now there's a viral video.
ok, gonna have to try this out.
Rick Houlihan did a talk a few years ago about designing the data later for an application using dynamodb. The most common reaction I get from people I show it to- most of them Amazon SDEs who operate services that use Dynamodb- is "Holy shit what is this wizardry?!"

https://youtu.be/HaEPXoXVf2k

One of the biggest mistakes people make with dynamo is thinking that it's just a relational database with no relations. It's not.

It's an incredible system, but it requires a lot of deep knowledge to get the full benefits, and it requires you, often, to design your data layer very well up-front. I actually don't recommend using it for a system that hasn't mostly stabilized in design.

But when used right, it's an incredibly performant beast of a data store.
I would absolutely love to.

If under my own will, I could go to an expert and say "hey let me pay for a sleep study". Unfortunately I don't have the energy to fight with a GP to get a referral.
Red Notice is excellent!

My favorite part is where he describes this (paraphrased):

"I couldn't figure out why the oligarchs would do things that hurt both me and themselves. Then I heard about the Russian myth where a farmer finds a genie in a lamp. The genie tells him 'you can have whatever you want but your neighbor will get double'. The farmer thinks and says 'I want you to poke out one of my eyes'."
My user experience on this site: scroll to cool picture, click cool picture, click back button expecting to go back to text. Back button takes me back to hacker news, urgh. Click link to site again, scroll to where I was. Click next cool picture and forget that back is broken. Click back. Urgh! Actually I've tried to use the back button four times now and I guess it's best if I just don't finish reading the site.

The back of the internet is broken...

Very cool site though.
What a shame. I was looking forward to PC benchmarks that included the number of nested Dooms it can run.
Are there some historical examples of good strategies out there?

I'm having trouble understanding the definition of a strategy and how it differs from a plan.
To clarify, for our use case: electric: $40k, plugin: $20k, diesel: $10k. Charging is also still very immature and unreliable.

Electric cars can become mainstream but it requires still some problem solving, both technical and nontechnical.
My experience of being sleep deprived is that my memory starts going downhill -- I feel like I have difficulty recalling what happened on days where I was running on little sleep, even after I have had good rest. It's as though those memories weren't properly stored and just disappeared.
> "Once that's done, we can set up a website where we can all watch/listen to you... What's that? You don't consent to such monitoring?"

Having a system for counter-terrorism agencies to check phone logs for keywords is vastly different from setting up cameras in everyones houses for the world to see. I'm not even sure how anyone would think that's remotely similar.
> I like how the creator offered to take the video down, if asked. No

I'm sure he would, so long as she gave back the flowers.
At our university we do the clarification ourselves, usually with 3-5 classifiers per item. And it is surprising the high rate of disconformity between labelers (even in binary or 4-class classification). People in internet don't always understand sarcasm, so maybe we need to benchmark humans at this task. But yeah, this and similar datasets (in Spanish, for example) have tons of misclassified texts.
And what more than that do we really need exactly?
Crypto is basically gambling, and gambling is alive and well. This is why I don't see crypto dying anytime soon. It will die when a better gamble comes along.
No it's not energy over time. GWh of capacity is not energy.
I'm tired and this is going to come out all jumbled, I fear, but I think the maths just don't work with this kind of thing, just like you suggest. Imagine a high-rise building with say 10 floors, each with eight flats, each flat housing a family of 3 to 5 people. Now, each of those families needs an area to grow their crops that's at least as large as the area of the house they live in. Sure, they can plant the rooftop over their heads. The only problem is, there are 10 families under the same area of rooftop. So it just can't work.

I think this generally holds for living in cities. Since residence is basically vertical, it gets progressively harder to also grow and raise food vertically also. All the space is already taken. And all the space that isn't housing is infrastructure (roads, sewers, cables) that would all have to be ripped out in order to plant enough to sustain the city.

So the food production moves away from the city, and away from the people who need the food. The OP is right to wonder: what happens if the supply lines from the countryside are cut? That would be a huge disaster, and whenever this has happened throughout history, it was a huge disaster. E.g. when Greece was occupied by the Axis, in the 1940's, the people in Athens died in droves of famine while the people in the countryside, well, they subsisted. In fact, anecdotally, my friend's grandma told her there was no other time they were so fat in their lives because they ate all they had everyday, just because they didn't know if they would have any more food tomorrow. But the countryside had food to eat while the city was left with scraps. btw this was originally caused by the Nazis who requisitioned crops to feed their war effort, assholes.

in the greater Athens–Piraeus area alone, some 40,000 people died of starvation, and by the end of the Occupation "it was estimated that the total population of Greece [...] was 300,000 less than it should have been because of famine or malnutrition" (P. Voglis).[24]

No worries, I probably misread your comment too :). I thought you were asking what SIMD/SCMD is in this context, but as the submitter you probably already did, and already knew that the links were clickable.

BTW: I don't think the titles of each entry are particularly clickbait-y.
Could you be more specific as to what you want to implement?
Ask yourself how much physical space you're okay with "investing" into your collection. Both for storage and for display. If a room full of boxed computers and a 5m wide shelf sound sane to you, so be it. Just stick to that limit. And if you're out of space but really want that shiny thing, get rid of something you value less (and remember: You're selling it off to some other person, not trashing it. And that person will probably feel as happy now as you felt when you first got that second Amiga 1000).

Add to that, you should check the condition of the equipment regularly. If you have zero days per year for that, you'll be very sad if you try to turn on that Apple 2 in a decade or two. But you already know that. OTOH if you have half a Saturday per month, you can probably open up and visually inspect at least 20 machines per year; if you have the know-how, maybe pick one to repair. Doesn't matter if you do it over a weekend or over two years. If you have a room for storage, outfit it with a desk for your current repair project - good lightning, scopes, soldering station, good note taking (important when rarely working on it), decent part bins.

Parenting hack we use:

Send kids to bed earlier.

Let them read if they want to stay up a bit later. If they complain that they want to stay up later, tell them that’s fine, but they just have to be awake in the morning if they like being up for more of the day. Teach them that they can use their internal clock to get up earlier if they really want, but don’t let them use an alarm clock.

They almost always choose to sleep in and it has hugely positive effects on their behavior and memory.
I feel for this women. It is not right to do something like that without her consent.

Then again I wonder: Is this a new phenomenon? Weren’t these kind of jokes normal for certain TV shows? And now they have made their way into social media?
