Except it fails the deeper you go in understanding physical phenomena.

We should not exist per Occam.

If you can hold on your awareness that the atoms of your body are not 'matter' but signatures of energy bound in a field, then the physical brain is much harder to consider the real and constructing element of reality.

I think many of these discussions are just measuring the difference in what we each perceive as the lowest building block.

Everything we are is wavelengths of energy. This isn't something metaphysical. Electron, proton, nuetron are all combinations of quarks which only exist independently as a discrete quantized energy in a field. The orderliness of the field is dependent on how much energy is exchanged for (converted to) mass. What is mass? Voltage - per modern understanding of physics. So the defining characteristic of reality is potential.

If we exist in this way as a consciousness then there is every reason to believe consciousness is pervasive in the universe

Now if my terminal is 78 characters it is a mess or if it is 100 characters it is wasting space. If you just don't wrap the lines my terminal does it at the right width.

Just tried it on a vintage early-80's 40-column terminal, and works better than I expected. I thought that a lot of words would be cut off on the right side, but the wrapping was about 90% correct. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but this is what happened just now.
I don't believe this to be true. I consider the likelyhood that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the cause of this to be much higher than that the seafood market in wuhan was the cause and there's no reason to trust any media or NGO to be truthful in that regard.

I'm not sure that it is a bad habit. When you truly get stumped, the solution is often a short break or distraction. When that doesn't work, sleep on it. When coding, I regularly awake with an excellent and should-have-been-obvious solution in my mind, to the last problem I couldn't solve the evening before.

Just don't switch to a time-waster in the meantime.

Quatro is a tool for converting notebooks into shareable formats (like PDF, HTML, Docx). Notebooks are very hard to share. You can't send it to your stakeholders, because Python code will scare them. You can use Quatro to convert notebooks into other formats and easily hide the code. It is like nbconvert on steroids.

I'm working on solution for notebooks sharing with non-technical users. Similar to Quatro it has YAML header, but it can also add widgets to the notebook and serve notebook as interactive web app. My framework is called https://github.com/mljar/mercury
You say that, but the bash manual is an absolute delight. (unironically).

Super clear, comprehensive but straight to the point, everything you might want to know is there in logical headings.

I struggled with bad bash code I'd pick up on websites and online tutorials, until I decided to just do `man bash` one day. Went from 10% to 99.999% bash proficient overnight.

Whenever I need to check something related to bash these days, 99% of the time the man page resolves my query within seconds. Occasionally you have to do `help [TAB]` and get the help for the specific built in instead. The bits not covered by the above two points are extremely rare.

I know you are referring to something else, but it actually means that the battle is won.
As this thread is mostly about alternatives and reflecting why they work or not, my 2 cents and 2 apps:

- Drafts - super fast native MacOS app that just lets you start writing text and care about "where to put it" later. I relaized that most of the "notes" or texts become either obsolete or abandoned (Draft removes them after 30 days, I think) and the task of "oh where do I put this in my knowledge tree or folder" becomes a burden. I use Drafts daily for basically everything (even writing this comment in Drafts (will copy it into NH once finished) :)

- MarginNote3 – speaking of a second brain, after trying most of the apps discussed here, I relaized that most of my knowledge lately comes from publshed papers and I need to somehow organize them, search, link and structure highlights, often across multiple documents. MarginNote is in the market of PDF readers-for-study, but it has pretty well integrated study mind-map concept and I found it working much better for me than one global "second brain" with notes.
Because there is a small group of people that care enough to use it. Most anti-crypto people do not want anything to do with it. Neutral-crypto people don't see the reason for enhanced privacy, or are afraid it might put them into trouble with regulators.

Pro-crypto people can be broken into different tribes. Bitcoin maxis feel that only Bitcoin is worth using, and they might think the privacy of Bitcoin is "good enough." Ethereum maxis want to use applications and smart contracts for DeFi, escrow, exchanges, lending, stablecoins, and Monero does not support that. Ethereum maxis also feel that privacy is solvable with ZK proofs and private rollups. Then there are other tribes like Solana users who are looking for scalability for games and apps, and don't care as much about privacy.
I totally agree with the parent post but was coming here to say the same thing - the best argument I've heard along these lines is that the signal is still transmitting but "you" aren't receiving it. This kinda makes goes against the idea of consciousness where you're aware of stuff, so in this case it should be more like an out-of-body experience that you do remember, but I could easily see someone arguing that it's some sort of soul-plane thing where you can't form memories but do have experiences.

The same problem has destroyed instagram.
I closed my Facebook account years ago, pre COVID, but still enjoyed instagram.

In the last six months, a steady rot has crept into instagram. I hardly see any of my friend's photos anymore. Just reel after reel after reel from people I have never heard of. I wish they had a settings button to block all reels, but they don't.

So, that is the end of instagram for me.

Meta sucks.
Why, they would never! And if they did, surely there was a good reason! We have to trust the police and Google!
> No checksum is unique. Your problem is to do with the probability of collision.

Thanks :-) Yeah the question should be more accurate :-) In the description I already use "avoid collisions".

> My guess is that hashing a very small part of the file would suffice as long as it contains actual audio (not silence)

Yeah, I had that in mind. The problem is, that this would go deeply into audio analysis (silence detection would be slower than hashing the whole file), so this is all into probability. It also is important, how many files the libary contains and my question is exactly about that: How to avoid collsions while still being fast enough to index a libray with > 10000 audio files (audio books and music).

> If you are concerned that you may have different edits of the same audio, you could try skipping through taking a small sample from every n seconds.

That is more likely to happen on music than on audio books. Therefore I asked about hashing one big chunk of e.g. 5MB. If the file is smaller, it hashes the whole file, if it is bigger, it hashes only a part in the middle of the file...

I also thought of a combination of properties: PartialHash and FullHash only calculating the full hash, if the PartialHash has an acutual collision. That would make it kind of robust for edge cases but also fast in the average case.

But I'm trying to keep it simple...
Karabiner Elements is ~19 MB: https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/releases

In your screenshot, the value you reference is the size of the entire package repository: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask

Your point still stands as these sizes are larger than one would expect. Just food for thought.

Your dog may behave uncommonly for its breed but dog breeds exist precisely because of common and predictable physical and behavioural traits.

Great Danes are famously couch potatoes but mine could not stay still and demanded a ton of exercise - still it was the exception rather than the rule for that breed.

Ask HN: Can the old Facebook succeed nowadays?
I keep hearing how the Facebook of old with only the newsfeed of your friend's updates in chronological order, groups, photos, profile was the golden age of social networking. I read comments how people would return to Facebook or another site if it was similar to how Facebook operated back in the day. I know a lot of Facebook clones have come and gone. My question is why hasn't anybody succeeded? Has the appetite for social networking changed? Maybe bad marketing on their part?
I dream of a SQLite-like embeddable database engine based on Datomic’s data model and queryable with Datalog. Written in something like C, Rust, or Zig. I’m toying around with the idea of hacking something up, but it’ll likely stay in the dream realm until I have Heaps of Free Time on My Hands (tm).

Looking into SQLite’s innards is a great source of inspiration. Thanks for this post.
In Spanish the @ is used, mainly in text chat, as both an "a" and an "o" at the same time. Saves time when you want to address both males and females: "amig@s" instead of "amigos y amigas"
>Or do the whole redeployment all the time and you'll see the "risk" of doing so was psychological or a few better tests away.

YMMV but I do have personal experience where the risks weren't psychological. Teams stepping into each other shoes and broken each other features are a real problem, solved by communication but that overhead has real costs.

How would you go about limiting antibiotics to those with an STI? Would you limit them if it were a case of rape? If not, then how would you prove it?

The most common communicable bacterial STIs can be treated with single dose regimens, so why don't you do some cursory research before disseminating your shit takes.

Show HN: MouseTray – on-the-fly speed adjustment for any old office mouse
Another one of my little AutoIt utility, decided to polish it up into a more presentable form.

I frequently use MSPaint when brainstorming or deriving equations, and had become quite proficient at handwriting using the mouse.
I reduce the mouse speed whenever I need to make small-ish annotations without zooming in, then switch back to normal settings for interacting with GUI.

Many fancy mice have "on-the-fly" adjustments shortcuts that only works with their proprietary driver, and only for their specific devices.
If I'm at a workstation with a generic office mouse then it's very cumbersome to constantly go back and forth between Control Panel and the application when switching between drawing and navigation.

So I wrote this little "Volume Control"-esq tray app to make it so that I could just hold down CapsLock and move the scrollwheel to adjust the mouse speed, and click the middle button to reset when I'm done.

Isn't that effectively what you get with the first option (with the `&` character)? You don't need `@nest` unless you want to embed the ampersand as anything other than the first character (which, I'll admit, is one of my major use cases). But given the prevalence of @ elements in CSS already (like @media for example), I'm ok learning/teaching @nest for those specific cases.
That’s the one. There’s a Colab link in the repo so you can try it out easily!
Huh? No there isn't. It's completely self-service, no talking to anyone, unless you are going for an enterprise account.
The problem I find with these plugin serverless is that they rarely work well. Even with a framework produced by Chalice, there are issues that are largely so minor in detail but required to work well with AWS. Often they are not even code related but infrastructure.

IMHO, AWS Chalice remains the goto method to generate REST API serverless manner but also curious how yours also differ from the paid Laravel solution that lets you deploy your stack serverless.
This reminds me a lot of Conway's law:

> Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

If we apply this law backwards, microservices reflect an organizational structure with many teams working on different things so they'd make more sense in that context rather than within a small team.

Congrats. To me, it's one of those weird things that sneaks up on you. Or maybe it doesn't and you just don't care. Then one day you realize 'damn, what happened.'

What's interesting to me is how much better you feel once losing weight. Half of what I assumed were 'just getting older' problems vanished, energy way up, etc. Wish there were VR or a pill or something so that everyone could know/remember what it's like, as motivation.

But in any event, kudos to you - changing the lifestyle and sticking to it isn't easy.
Any big box hardware store has a handful of steel sheet and L-sections, and a store called "Metal Supermarkets" is pretty common throughout North America which will stock anything a hobbyist welder could dream of, order whatever they don't have, cut to length, etc. There's cheaper, better sources but they are not always accessible to a walk-in shopper with a hand sketch.
I think it's fair to say we do know that we have a somewhat physical brain. Even if it's part of a dream then our definition of "physical" would be scoped to that dream and still be accurate

Three.

1. Saw an ad in 1980 for a Radio Shack TRS-80 for $499. Suddenly understood that computers were more real than the spinning tape reels shown in movies. Started learning BASIC at the local Radio Shack while my mom was grocery shopping next door. Got offered programming jobs at least twice during those sessions (or maybe they were child predators). I've been exchanging code for money for the 40+ years since.

2. Around the same time, age 10 or so, I was in a situation where I should have been killed or badly injured. Instead, a car suddenly appeared and instantly killed the thing that was trying to kill me. The car didn't stop; it kept driving, leaving me alone on a country road with bloody flesh (not mine) sprayed 20 feet around me. Since then, though I'm not religious or very spiritual, I've felt special, as if my life is meant to achieve some purpose on Earth. That memory motivates me when I'm feeling aimless or down.

3. The first time I attended Burning Man. The first time I experienced the kindness of strangers as the rule rather than the exception. That inversion in my default assumptions about other people has made an enormous difference (and undoubtedly has helped shrink the giant chip I have on my own shoulder).
One of the projects I worked on was an embedded system running on 200MHz with 8MB RAM and micro SD for storage, single data channel. SQLite was chosen because of the power to preform report calculations in SQL and is perfect for configuration storage in simple Key / Value relation, like Firefox about:config.

SQLite is my go-to database for application configuration and even non-enterprise web applications.

Understandable. And to be honest I'm increasingly fatigued in relation to what discourse has become. You had mentioned earlier that I was trying to police what is and isn't acceptable criticism, and in a way you're right. I would like to see a lot less hyperbolic pearl-clutching sophistry. But the downside is that trying to confront the use of such rhetoric is sadly perceived as negative or equivalent.

For me - backup Internet for a large-scale power outage or other event like an ice storm that knocks down telecommunication lines.

I've worked from home via the Internet since the late 90's, and having a backup has been drilled into me as a hard requirement from hard-won experience. Living in Chicago this came in handy just last year when a box truck took out my primary fiber connection and most of the block for a few days, and I failed over seamlessly to Comcast.

When/if I get approved for Starlink, I'll cancel comcast and be using it as my backup. Hopefully they become mobile soon as well, so I can take it with me on adventures.
