I fixed my sleep with modafinil, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone not just because I'm a nobody but because fixing sleep wasn't why I was taking it, that was just a happy side effect. My problem was and in part still is that it's quite hard for me to stay awake during the day, which meant that when I was in school I slept through most of it and when I was at work I would either fall asleep or "zone out" to the point of no functionality.

Once when I was operating a lathe someone told me to stop the machine after it passed ~300mm on the X axis, which takes maybe a minute, but before it reached that point I was already out of it, luckily the person was nearby and very quickly noticed what's happening and managed to stop the machine.

Modafinil helps me keep my eyes open and stay present in the real world. But I'm my country you can only get it via a prescription, so it's not really accessable.
THIS. No unaccountable editing, but always allow new entries that accommodate the same needs. There is no legit reason any legit error correction can't have a log that shows the error and the correction. There are reasons, but no legit reasons.
With really cheap space access you can do assembling in space. No motors, just plain old human hands in space.

Tennis court sized shield? Take it up like a long and precious Persian mat and let the humans rig the thing in orbit.

From there, attach fuels tanks and you are good to go for your insertion burns.
I’d suggest:

- AI establishes warp network between galaxies; nano machined “smart” paperclips power AI technology

- AI establishes universal empire

- paperclips that can compute with subspace become the dominant life form, akin to paperclip based “grey goo” on the scale of super clusters

- AI develops warp gates to “younger universes” across the inflationary fractal to acquire new resources for more paperclips

I think the key aspect of the Inverse Paperclip Problem is that you need to keep inventing reasons to expand and build more paperclips.

There is such thing as the bus factor*: he/she can get sick, force-major'ed etc. and that will stall any progress whatsoever, as engineers are people too.
Plus can't assign one person to a three different tasks/locations that require attention simultaneously.

Also, do you think if multi-channel signed distance field is a good approach for GUI text rendering?

I understand, for games, it can support extreme zooming with small textures. But for GUI (for example a text editor), we only occasionally resize fonts.

I looked at some of the open source projects (mostly terminal emulators), they simply rasterize fonts onto a texture map using CPU. I wonder if signed distance field is really necessary.

You can't do that, period.

A lot of "cloud" and other GUI interfaces deceive people into thinking it's possible, they just do A record fuckery behind the scenes (clever in it's own right but it causes misunderstanding).
Lewis Hamilton started karting at about 8 years old. I don't even follow F1; I guessed that, and Googled it to confirm, because that's how all race drivers start - let alone the best ever.

It would be a different, and strange, world where people typically got to be professional drivers by taking out loans at 18 to buy brand new 500 hp sports cars and majoring in "Race Car Driving" at universities.
Full disk encryption is generally not exactly one giant encrypted blob where any modified bit means the blob is bad and can't be decrypted. If it were, it would be impossible to modify.

Instead, it's broken up into a large number of small blobs. If your disk encryption has a checksum, a bit flip on the storage results in a checksum failure (hopefully) and a read error; it might be difficult to read sectors in that blob, but you could read the rest. Not all disk encryption systems use checksums, so maybe you just get a bitflip in the read data. Of course, if the bitflip is in the keystorage, that may not be recoverable at all; many systems allow you to export the keys to allow for recovery in this case, and they may store multiple copies in any case.

Incidentally, I'm not sure about Squeak as the main user-facing bit, either. I love the idea of having a handheld, battery-powered, internet connected Smalltalk machine; but Squeak's UI is currently very desktop-focussed, and single-host-window-focussed, at that. (I'm working on that latter elsewhere [1].) Squeak's flexibility means it doesn't have to stay that way, and experimenting with alternatives is easy, making it maybe a good environment to prototype alternative phone UIs. Whichever way you slice it, it's a lot of work, of course.

I'd rather have two providers that offers 25Mbps than one that offers 100Mbps. I don't need 100, or even 50. But Comcast has been jacking up their prices, along with increasing the minimum speed available, for years. They respond to government regulations like these. I'm now paying 2x what I used to (from $25 to $50/mo), and getting 2x the speed. But I don't want to be forced to buy 2x the speed (or even faster, as this proposal would require).

I would much rather have the govt provide incentives for there to be more than one provider. I live in the heart of SV (Menlo Park), and Comcast is the only option. 5G is not well-served where I live, and the pricing is also not competitive. We need more competition, not more redefinition of "broadband".
There is presently no jtag debugger support for S2 chip (due to xtensa not wanting their IP to be public/open sourced by espressif who only licensed the ip for internal use)
The jtag interface needs to be reverse engineered.

You can target the s2 and flash it using cargo.

However if you are building something complex and want to use Probe-rs you will probably want to buy a c3 module.

Also you can emulate and test the riscv in qemu. (useful for integration testing on cloud)

Rust for embedded is awesome and doesn't get enough attention for how powerful the potential is.
The IT bar to entry the industry is lower than it used to be so you really do not need CS degree to become a developer, I think that with a time as the supply of these workers increases the value of University degrees will be restored as well as the meaning of a term of engineer.

The idea that they executed Socrates as a scapegoat doesn't make sense to me.

What about `skim` - integrating it as a library? fzf is nice, but it is external - you have to pre-install and configure it.
Yeah, it's called sarcasm guys. Grandparent's question was rhetorical, as to say 'that seems out of keeping with a low budget tiktok producer'. Parent goes on to explain why anyone would conceivably have a spokesman. Sheesh.

L2 means that the Earth and Sun are roughly in the same direction. JWST orbits at a distance around L2 such that it's actually never in the shade, so it doesn't need energy storage and thermal controls other than constant sun in a constant direction.

It has an orbit around L2 of roughly 0.8 million km. L2 is about 1.5 million km from Earth. The moon is only 0.36 million km from Earth.

The tech for home serving was never great and it hasn't advanced, so giving people symmetric connections won't help. They'll just be able to upload to the cloud faster.

Magic Leap 2 Developer Pro – Early Access Edition Now Available
Toleration is an impressive virtue that’s worth reviving
I'm not a fan of distance fields for GUI text rendering. Their main advantage in games is super-easy integration into the rendering pipeline (they're basically just a texture and a simple shader), but the quality is not quite as good as standard font rendering. There are other issues, including fairly large texture RAM requirements for CJK fonts, and no easy way to do do variable fonts. My main work these days is piet-gpu, which is intended to do 2D graphics (including font rendering) "the right way." In the meantime, using existing platform glyph rendering capabilities makes sense and will certainly give the best visual match to platform text.
Here's one from Cell -- as I said, it's very technical, but the TL;DR is that 84% of CD4+ and 85% of CD8+ memory T cell responses to the Omicron spike protein are preserved, compared to an average of 90% and 87% respectively for the other variants:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286742...

Here's another:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04460-3

> Between 70% and 80% of the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell response to spike was maintained across study groups. Moreover, the magnitude of Omicron cross-reactive T cells was similar for Beta (B.1.351) and Delta (B.1.617.2) variants, despite Omicron harbouring considerably more mutations. In patients who were hospitalized with Omicron infections (n = 19), there were comparable T cell responses to ancestral spike, nucleocapsid and membrane proteins to those in patients hospitalized in previous waves dominated by the ancestral, Beta or Delta variants (n = 49). Thus, despite extensive mutations and reduced susceptibility to neutralizing antibodies of Omicron, the majority of T cell responses induced by vaccination or infection cross-recognize the variant.

I may have read a third, but I can't find it easily, and these two should be more than enough to back up what I wrote / get you started.
Could you explain more on that thought?
I switched back to FF the day I noticed that I could "log in" to Chrome, and that the browser had already logged me in by default.

you mean what are some of the difficulties of implementing detachable tabs using existing libraries?

For example, they don't give you the correct mouse coordinates once your mouse cursor is outside a window. I heard this is impossible to do if the underlining system is wayland.
How do you even get to "anti-science" from using GIS for investing?

I'd say people are getting way too twitchy with their witch hunts, but I don't even see how you get from here to there. Just bizarre, and worrisome.
> I also like being less entailed with Google and view Brave’s chromium base a lesser evil than FireFox’s funding dependency.

Right. Instead of relying on funding coming from Google to develop the browser, Brave just uses Google's one directly, which in my opinion is quite equivalent to getting 100% funded by Google for developing the browser.

I hope Firefox will be able to get its founding from other entities. Brave, however, is never getting rid of Google and its technical decisions without a rewrite from scratch and is just participating in Google's dominance on the Web.

You may like Brave for its technical qualities, but we can't pretend it is better than Firefox wrt dependency on Google.

Developing the browser skin is not the hard part, and it is also not the place where the Web desperately needs help. I wish there was a browser that could keep up with the current web and that is not mostly funded by a GAFAM (or a GA, at this point), and Brave isn't one.
This is already here now in some ways. For example: tree people. It turns out that there are a lot of basic rules communities can follow that make planting and caring for trees in public spaces easier. People who want to plant trees can reach out and find what kind of trees are best for particular locations and constraints. It is usually also possible to get instructions and borrow equipment for digging holes and moving trees and soil.

You can't get regular pay or health insurance or a social safety net from the tree people, but together they plant, protect, and care for trees and spread the knowledge of how that is done and the wisdom of why it is done.

In my opinion the tree people are a good minimal example of how network states might start with small shared domains and goals and might make a big difference without even expanding.
>> In particular, it’s completely f...ing useless on classical music.

Almost every bit of music cataloguing software seems to be CFU for classical. It's built around the "album of tracks" model, without any notion of subgroupings (like a filesystem with no subdirectories), or a notion of multiple performers involved.

Now that being said, cataloguing classical recordings is a pain. The least worst way seems to be by ensemble type, for most "reasonable" collections that gets you most of the way. Not to say other genres aren't, just that you often have dumb things that hinder discoverability, eg., the 'filler' piece that screws up the obvious one place to file the disc.

There's a reason why librarianship is a discipline.
> view Brave’s chromium base a lesser evil than FireFox’s funding dependency.

This is very short-sighted. All chromium forks are an extension of Google Chrome.
For other topics that aren't strictly programming, eg AI, ML, game theory, cryptography, quantum computing, probabilistic methods, optimization,... it would take a significant amount of dedication to match the amount of understanding that a rigorous course with problem sets can give you in self study.

Also, you're going to have an extremely difficult time getting to work on that stuff without a degree, given that even PhDs often end up on regular business bullshit.

Things must be well engineered and they can be without calling a person an engineer.

IMO we should focus on defining what well engineered means in contexts where a thing must be engineered, not handing people a sigil of power to exploit.
who has been thrown out of Democratic leadership? As far as I understand, they are explicitly NOT doing that and instead capitulating and backing candidates and judges who are further right than mainstream dems. Meanwhile in Idaho the extreme right is chasing anyone who isn't a white nationalist out of office, so i guess we have that to look forward to from other Republican strongholds.

While I don't think that cryptocurrency is about to kick off a technological revolution on par with the industrial revolution, it is important to note that the technological advancements that led to here weren't readily apparent when they were invented either, except to slightly zany visionaries. The invention of the automobile for instance was seen for a few decades as a rich person's toy. People usually have small minded views of the implications of new technology, because we look at them through the lenses of the world we live in now.

So of course cryptocurrency hasn't led to much beyond speculation. Not to say that it will lead to anything more, but it would be erroneous to discount that possibility off hand. At the very least IMO it will lead to a social revolution, of what magnitude I don't know.

Also I'd note, the industrial revolution really came to the dirty masses with the assembly line, not the invention of the steam engine or the automobile. So analogously with regard to cryptocurrencies, maybe they are the car in this scenario, and the real revolutionary technological advancement that leverages them has yet to be invented. Or, maybe not.

Personally, I think that much like the apparently dire state of the world at the dawn of the industrial revolution led directly to it, the things we think now of as symptoms of Armageddon are probably going to play a large and in hindsight constructive role in whatever comes next. Maybe climate change becomes a crash course in terraforming, or genetic and biome engineering. Trying to predict what happens next is a fools errand but these are fun possibilities to think about.

I was about to write a blog post against CS masters degrees. I'm going through a pretty ambitious gauntlet autodidact process. Some background: I already have a CS undergrad degree.

- I've found all the online courses I would ever need, alongside high quality video courses (MIT, standford, 3b1b) + books

- A masters costs money & too much time (my time is better spent than getting an application together) (Opportunity cost of not working is too great)

- Arbitrary wait time (I have to apply like, 8 months in advance to starting? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics is available right now)

- I already know 80% of the stuff in a CS masters from building systems and learning how they work (looking at the syllabus of various online masters degrees)

- My employment history is much better for future employment opportunities than a masters ever would be. Getting a FANG job not only pays you, comparatively to a masters degree. It's also a much better signal than "cash cow online masters program"

- I can publish papers at my company if I wanted to (Not being gatekept from becoming a researcher)

- My workplace has a mathematics "guild" who I can outsource questions to whenever I want. Otherwise, I can go to /sci/'s math general or stack exchange.

In university, I learned the computational algorithm to pass the lin alg exams, and that took eight months. Being an autodidact, I relearned the true essence of lin alg in two weeks. Now, I can derive any computation lin alg operations from first principles. I'd even argue that undergraduate degrees are a waste of time. Mandatory electives? Give me a break. After going through this autodidact process, I'm actually offended by how much time I've wasted in HS & uni.

I'm basically redoing an undergraduate math degree + a CS masters + building real projects throughout it, all in the fraction of the time frame. At my current speed, I'll be finished learning all what I want to learn in ~2 years, while maintaining a pretty demanding FT SWE job. The knowledge provided in both highschool and university can be obtained in the fraction of the time, on your own. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what you can engineer & build with your knowledge.

Universities are a meme in 2022. They're largely mechanisms to filter out the "peasant non-educated" class, through a proving function that can only be passed by coming from a family with enough resources.

Canada is very rapidly heading towards a two-party system. The Greens barely count as a party, the NDP have joined forces with the Liberals, the Conservative-Reform Alliance Party is desperately trying to subsume the breakaway PPC Party, and the Bloc is specific to one province.

Every election boils down to a choice between two parties: Liberal and Conservative. When the Conservatives are too socially regressive (“barbaric cultural practices hotline”, Pierre Poilievre) many NDP voters hold their nose and vote Liberal.

If the Conservatices continue down their current path, Canada will inevitably become a strictly two-party country: the NDP will cease to exist as an alternative.
well, the big difference in academia is that almost all research is public already, so they don't have that problem that people are at a disadvantage because they can't make their work public.
Any discussion here needs to factor in access of immigrants and under represented people to tech jobs.
Show HN: Floode – Inbox 0 for DMs
Hi,

Currently working on Floode. I am a 2nd time founder who ran my sales/networking/fundraising using social media DMs. So we have built a tool that combines all DMs at the same place and make it faster to sort/manage them with shortcuts, to reach inbox 0 as fast as possible.

I have no business related to Rust, but after reading a few articles from this author, I tend to think that his approach to GUI toolkit design is deeply flawed.

He is undoubtedly highly knowledgeable about the subject, but this knowledge may be a curse in his case.

A mix of second system syndrome and Architecture Astronaut, trying to satisfy too many constraints can be a deadlock.

I think the sensible approach is starting with a Minimum Viable Product, cutting some corners and consciously making tradeoffs. And if success comes, then try to organically grow from there.
Fair enough. I've had excellent success with just calorie tracking / weighing without massively changing my diet - by setting a small caloric deficit I was able to consistently slowly weight over months without massively changing things and enjoying all my usual foods.

I'm glad your system has worked for you.
nice. i tried it on firefox. it did not show me tabs that were in the private windows, only ones in the "non-private browsing" one which kinda isnt for me as i do most of my work in the private browsing windows during the day. Maybe you can add support for that
