So after graduating High School with terrific math scores, I started realizing...I can't count. Now I could of course but I frequently erred, I was better at counting at 6 when I would spend all day counting to 100. One kid counted to 1000, that was cool. That was something we'd do, is count.

But the skill had atrophied.

I had to learn how to count again, practice counting, and cool thing is I can now count--with about the same level of error I had as in late high school--to 18, 20, 30, 32, 37 the way most people can count instantly when there's 6 or less. I made a game to practice.

But back to the point: yeah too many people blurt stat. They didn't count right. Just blurt stat.
Taxes on liquidity and land value taxes.
If you have kids and your spouse also has a career, all this goes out the window, and you are stuck in survival mode for at least the first 5 years (assuming one kid). For example: extracurricular activities basically cease, and personal is winnowed down to getting the bare minimum of exercise if you are lucky. Still it’s probably good advice to trim professional projects if you can. However, many people don’t have the same flexibility to do this as an academic does, but can learn to say “no” to projects, which sometimes works.

> Considering we've never had a civilisation last more than a few hundred [years] ...

Huh? Current "Western" (= more or less global) civilisation is a direct continuation (via the Renaissance and Enlightenment) of medieval European civilisation, which was a pretty direct continuation (via "Dark ages" and Migration Era) of antique Graeco-Roman civilisation. So a couple millennia, not centuries.
Earthgrid aims to re-wire the USA using super-cheap tunnel tech
The problem at the radio frequency level is simply that not only is the 2.4GHz ISM band crowded by microwave ovens, WiFi and lots of other devices, but that one end of a BT device is typically battery powered and transmitting at a tiny fraction of the power of the interfering devices. In a typical office or home the moment you turn on the microwave or WiFi device you are effectively jamming the BT signal. Frequency hopping can hop it all likes and try to pick the least worse band out of all even more over-powering ones.
Apple's "magical" continuity feature between devices (including Airdrop) is usually going crazy and works only 20% of the time if you are connected to the network with cable, not wifi, even if you are in the same subnet.
In two-fds tcp, FIN/ACK, RST, timeouts and desire to stay as non-blocking as possible would still be a thing, so we’d have all the same functions and behaviors, only SHUT_RD|WR parameters would go away.

Pipes guarantee delivery if both sides agree, tcp doesn’t (but it tries hard asynchronously), that’s where the difference starts.
My only real issue with bluetooth these days is that I cant disable certain MIDI CC events.

The same midi blob that sends vol +/- from my cars volume encoder, is used by applications to hijack phone volume to push notifications.

But it always resets to -inf once and there is no way for me to disable or modify midi cc behaviours globally or on a per application basis.

Someone give me discrete midi cc control via a third party app before i drive off a bridge. Its maddening.
Finally, somewhere that I fully agree with.

Being on-call while you do not get called upon is 24 / 7 work because you have to live your entire life around being available.

Like the blog post mentions, grocery shopping has implications because if you happen to have an on-call event while shopping it means leaving your cart to run to your car to address the situation because you can't leave your house without your work laptop.

It means never going to the beach alone on a Saturday because while you could bring your laptop with you, if you go swimming and there's an on-call event you can't address it because you have no way to get notified while you're swimming in the ocean.

It also means going to the movies with an expectation that if you get called 15 minutes into the movie you're leaving. Likewise, if you're mid-date and get called you're out of luck.

It means never enjoying being able to walk around while being disconnected from the world. It means if you're at your mom's funeral giving a eulogy you leave mid-speech to address PagerDuty.

Then there's knowing at any given second your phone can notify you of an event and you have to put the volume at maximum and place it right next to your face every night with an expectation that you could be woken up at any second.
Yeah, when I learned to program, you needed to know a few things:

- How to output text to the screen (and maybe to a file or serial port)

- How to read input from a keyboard (and maybe from a file or serial port)

- How to do basic conditionals, looping, and function calls (if, while, for, gosub/jump/return, etc.)

And that was about all you needed to make a computer do anything that a store-bought professional program could do.

Languages, even BASIC, made those things pretty simple. But also learning the OS interrupts and doing them directly in ASM wasn't that hard.

Now you first have to learn 75 layers of abstraction and API stuff just to properly instantiate windows, take focus, etc., nevermind the language and actual domain logic. You can do a whole lot more, and do complex things a lot more simply, once you learn all that. But you can't just do the simple things simply. It's no longer an option.

So of course there's no learning path that takes that option anymore. And since people can't learn to do simple things simply, they never get that same feeling or learn deeper. It's just a black box that sometimes/usually lets you do things. But you don't have control over it.

My car (Lexus) and my iPhone X:

The car detects iPhone presence, like, 50% of the time. If it does detect it, it shows me a couple of half-naked shaved guys hugging each other and begins playing "Songs of Innocence" the moment I turn the ignition on. I tried deleting this song from the iPhone, but it auto-magically restores itself somehow, as if it is in the telephone's firmware. The image of men hugging in shade is baked into my mind forever at this point.

As I want to set my plans in silence, I press stop on the dashboard. I set my Google Maps navigation, turn the knob to increase the volume so I could hear instructions, and this triggers "Songs of Innocence" to continue playing and the second burst of outrage in my cardiovascular system. I press the stop the second time, and at this point can continue on my journey - but should I try to increase the volume again, I have to remember the hugging men are always there.

Once (or twice), the phone just went berserk and couldn't stop playing them. I tried everything, but the Songs were playing, and the men were hugging while I was doing 70 mph on the motorway. I had to reboot the phone, but after the reboot, the car was unable to pair with it.

I don't know if it's a Lexus problem, or an Apple problem, but what I know is that I really fucking hate U2.
I had a dream last night that dark matter was some kind of memory leak in the simulation. It made a lot of sense at the time.

> has a nice little introduction and the math in the overview isn’t too scary.

Is it possible for a regular person(regular meaning not a researcher i guess, someone with unrelated day job) to understand the math and this kind of stuff at a deeper level? How would you go about getting started?

I just read a book that gave a high level overview of some astronomy and physics topics like this one, but im unsure how to get a deeper understanding or if its even possible.
Show HN: AI Safety Cheatsheet
All connected fitness devices and apps that advertise “form correction” use single RGB cameras to detect some delta from a standard model and provide feedback using a few cues (as text on the screen) during exercise. Not only are these models incredibly rigid and generic in their detection of faults, but also poor in cueing correction and helping users make real change in movement. In short, these devices don’t see or understand the user and as a result the instruction they provide is neither accurate nor personalized, but rather pure gimmick.

It took years of R&D and testing for us to get to a point where Altis had the technical capabilities of “seeing” and “understanding” a user’s body and movement in such a way that would enable effective correction and instruction. This visual intelligence is the key differentiator that when paired with a baseline knowledge of biomechanics allows Altis to coach complex movement patterns through common faults exhibited by the user.

But training goes beyond just what you are doing in the moment. Training progression is important to users achieving their goals, whether they are body composition or performance related. Cerebrus is our machine learning model that is baseline intelligent (built on millions of programming decisions by coaches and trainers) and learns from users behavior in the short term (current workout) and long-term using numerous passive and active variables (your fatigue level derived from velocity, your form progression over time, your goals, etc).

> It is really hard to lose stuff

If that stuff is committed.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but conversations seem to revolve so much around finding stuff and merging stuff that my favorite use of git isn't talked about as much -- throwing stuff away. A commit is your save point - once made, you can basically code risk-free, knowing you can always go back to that save point. Try new things, thrash your code, don't stress even if you break everything - because you can always just revert back to that last commit.

So I'd say that it is really hard to lose the stuff you explicitly declared you wanted to keep. And easy to lose the rest.
Land value taxes lower the value of land. The UBI recipient can conserve his share of land and rent it out to someone who needs it. That will result in an overall increase in economic efficiency and that surplus can in theory be used to buy products and services to meet the basic necessities of the recipient.

Alternatively, the recipient can run a homestead on his share of land.
I am super naive when it comes to just about everything and especially this. I never comment on HN because of this and because I know I’ll get flamed by the people on HN (but here goes this one time).

I was curious though how easy it is to make a claim on a video and started the process on a video from one of my favorite creators. I did NOT finish but found that it is surprisingly easy just to start a claim.

I (kind of) understand why Google/YT has created such an easy arbitration process once a claim has been made because they don’t want to deal with the legal headache, and the associated costs, with having to get in the middle if everything.

What I don’t understand, and am hoping someone can explain to me without flaming me, is why they don’t make the process to START a claim a little more complicated.

The way it is setup now, I could create a fairly anonymous (yeah, I know) Google account and then make a claim on just about any random YT content. There is no process at all to identify ME.

As an example, if I want to market a mobile app in an app store, I have to provide proof of my business name, tax status, business license (if applicable in my local jurisdiction), etc.

As another example, if I want to start a retail store that sells the Nintendo Switch, in order to buy the units at the “wholesale” price, I have to provide documentation of much of the same for marketing a mobile app plus I have to sign agreements that I won’t sell the units for a price outside the range dictated by the manufacturer.

Lots of process involved in these two examples.

Why does Google not require verification of at least being some sort of a real entity? Is it again just too much headache (i.e. work) to do so? Is it because that would be too exclusive and on this end of the spectrum they are actually defending the little guy by allowing anyone to lay claim to something?

Thank you, btw, to the OP for introducing me to this channel. She has a very ‘interesting’ personality and some intriguing content.
I went 0/25 for correct moves, but I see by the solution that I did move the correct pieces at times. Perhaps that could be given the yellow color to highlight which pieces are involved? Otherwise novices like me are stuck if they never find that initial move.
If the statistical relevance fails to capture the underlying practical relevance of a phenomenon, it’s usually the job of the statistician to explain why.

One way is examining the dimensions of analysis. A simple counting exercise and declaring “well it’s just not relevant,” despite contradictory qualitative evidence is really simple-minded and an abuse of statistical reasoning.

But this is typical of non-research thinking, in non-academic contexts so forgive me if I come off harshly.
Because it's RF, shipping firmware can't be open source -- end user tweakable and replaceable. I bet this is one reason BT will never be good. If it could be open source there would be a winning stacks (or a few) that would bubble up on some git repo and be good enough for most everyone.
> can't enjoy having a kid because they can't even afford it..

For me it was around the same time Mo3 mentioned they took, maybe a bit more than one year and a half. It's been long, so I don't remember precisely.

However I was in a quite sorry state before... I was having several panic attacks a week. My therapy alone was also not working well, I was doing twice a week. After starting it, everything started falling into place. I never had a panic attack again.

I never had any downside whatsoever from taking them (didn't know they don't go well with summer!), including the regular complaints, it wasn't really a burden on me other than having to buy them monthly and take them every day.

In 2022 we use NET6, last .NET Core was 3.1 which reaches end-of-life soon.

Our SeekTable started as .NET Core 1.1 app 6 years ago, it was upgraded to 2.1, then 3.1 and now it is a NET6 app. Upgrades up to 3.1 were pain in the ass, API/SDK evolution was quick and not backward compatible, however last upgrade to NET6 was easy - this is more a change of the run-time version, as APIs are not changed anymore and become stable.

My understanding is that it's still the most parsimonious theory that explains everything, including (especially?) the CMB power spectra[1]. Even TeVeS still requires some dark matter to fit all the phenomena, just not as much as LCDM.

Always nuclear. It's like we're back in the atomic age of the 50s and forgot all the learnings since. Nuclear is horribly expensive and the entire maritime sector is a race to zero. Cheapest labor globally, cheapest material and so on.

Suicidalism and depression come from having a bad life, basically. All these quacks are trying to find what little chemical they can pepper on or what little product they can market. And society and especially psychiatrizing parents or bosses keep looking for the one magic trick that fixes this strange illness. Just make their life better! The actual circumstances, stop oppressing them! Admit your subterfuge and your child or employee will not suicide.

But admitting the subterfuge would sometimes amount to suicide.

EU Digital Markets Act, aimed at Google, Apple, Amazon, approved
This is easily one of the most expansive Acts regarding computing devices passed in my lifetime. The summary is in the link. As an iPhone user, this will enable me to:

* Install any software

* Install any App Store and choose to make it default

* Use third party payment providers and choose to make them default

* Use any voice assistant and choose to make it default

* User any browser and browser engine and choose to make it default

* Use any messaging app and choose to make it default

* Make core messaging functionality interoperable. They lay out concrete examples like file transfer

* Use existing hardware and software features without competitive prejudice. E.g. NFC

* Not preference their services. This includes CTAs in settings to encourage users to subscribe to Gatekeeper services, and ranking their own services above others in selection and advertising portals

* Much, much, more.

After the Act is signed by the Council and the European Parliament in September, Apple, Google, Amazon, and other "Gatekeepers" will have six months to comply. Fines are up to 10% of global revenue for the first offense, and 20% for repeat offenses.
