For an unrelated reason, shortly after making that comment, I put 31 genes from a viral genome (the whole genome, assuming we have the reading frames correct and nothing else funky is going on) through AlphaFold. We're getting ready to do some proteomics to see what's in the capsid, and I wanted to inform the proteomics by doing some sequence analysis. Only three genes of the 31 came back with any sort of confidence. Two of the three were crystallized and solved by my group a few years back.
I didn't get how different Linux distributions and LTS versions are related. Care to elaborate?
Are DVRs still a thing? I thought they added copy-protection to video outputs (like Apple movies won't play on a non-protected display.)

Hello HN, my name is Ignacio and I'm a fresh CompSci grad (Associate's Degree, graduated March '22) looking for a trainee position either as a programmer or IT/Tech/Application Support role, currently studying for the CompTIA A+ certification.
Feel free to email me.
Yeah AliExpress seems to have these. Only $40+ for the 512MB model :-/
A central issue that has not been emphasized here is that the U.S. is incapable of doing major infrastructure projects anymore. Instead it just does maintenance and minor projects of existing infrastructure. Take for example the California high speed rail project--which keeps getting delayed, cut back and going massively over budget.

Someone actually has the title of "Chief Go-To-Market Officer" separate from the Chief Customer Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Product Officer, and a bunch more. What is this all about really?
Hi I'm Stefano, CEO and co-founder of Epistemic AI. AMA!
Story time: I was in Brooklyn at that time and took a large dose of magic mushrooms with a friend one Sunday evening. We thought we heard strange noises outside around 1AM and went to investigate.

With the world around us oozing and flowing crazy psychedelic colors, we see what appears to be a military vehicle rolling up the block going about 5 miles an hour. We’re standing there confused when the silence is broken by a loudspeaker on the truck, “Stay inside. Close your windows. Stay inside close your windows”. We drop to the ground, terrified, trying to figure out if we’re hallucinating, as the echos of the command reverberate off the buildings around us.

When the truck rolls directly past us we see what’s 20 yards behind it: another army truck with floodlights glaring, flanked by a crew in full hazmat suits with hoses spraying a cloud of something in the air as they pass us walking slowly down the block.

Then just silence, and the sinister shadow of the sprayers backlit by floodlights disappearing around the corner onto fifth avenue heading north toward Park Slope.

There are no words that describe the psychedelic terror I felt in those moments. We legit thought the world was ending and/or there was an alien invasion, and the military was somehow involved like an X-Files storyline come to life.

A few hours later we calm down and are debating whether or not it really happened.

And in the morning we see the flyers all over the neighborhood: mosquito spraying Sunday night, “stay inside, close your windows” They forgot to include, “don’t take mushrooms”.
In English those would fall under the vague umbrella of "special forces".

The most famous from the USA are Navy Seals, followed by Army Rangers, but every branch of the military has its own special forces. And other countries militaries do as well.

The one whose official remit probably looks most like the group that you describe are Air Force Special Reconnaissance (SR). It is their mission to deploy deep behind enemy lines, figure out enemy operations, and work with other units in any area of the military to take out high value targets. (For example by calling in air strikes or artillery.)
Supercapacitors have several orders of magnitude less energy density.

What might make more sense is a modular battery.
I've had a couple of things that wouldn't always pair. Some headphones, a Bluetooth mouse if I recall.

I just chalk it up to the freedom I get from using Linux and just move on.
This is pretty impressive and a great improvement over the current x86 status quo as far as freedom and security goes.

All that is left is a way to stop the phone home when you need to do a DFU restore if you set up the 'restore server' first as an owner when you first set up the device. I think corporations and other large organizations would find that end to end assurance useful. Also would be part of removing the dependence from apple to do activation locks and MDM for corps and nerds who want full ownership over their devices. Or some sort of offline DFU restore mode for people who need the ability to do airgapped / isolated updates and wipes.

But I also see how that can be leveraged in bad ways by some governments and thieves, so looking at the system balance they chose where a very small lynchpin moment requires phone home is and understandable compromise, even though I don't agree with it fully.. I wonder if the phone home could be done behind VPNs and such, or does it block that?
Closely related to the "bikeshed" effect (https://blog.codinghorror.com/procrastination-and-the-bikesh...) a.k.a. Parkinson's Law of Triviality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality).

As others have said, this isn't really a paradox. But it's interesting if you continue testing it with more and more trivial decisions. I think you probably reach a pleateau at some point, and actually one the decision reaches a certain point in triviality, decision time may actually decrease. The real factor here is humans' difficulty in quantifying the relative importance of things, especially their own opinions.
This is bonkers paranoid. Don’t ask me, reference the article linked above by one of the most prominent Linux distros on aarch64 Macs. The author is clearly qualified when clearly stating that the stance is not this nefarious.
>Exfiltrating money from foreign regimes, etc.

Crypto isn't useful for that. The thing that's actually useful for that is the illegal, unregulated exchange that's making the trade. It doesn't matter what currency they trade it for, it could be anything else besides crypto tokens. Crypto actually just adds extra unnecessary steps because the end goal is almost always to get it back out in another local currency. Unless you plan to get the money and then only spend it on NFTs.
It also takes time to see results: the higher up the ladder, the more the work is second or third order effects which take time to show up.

If I hire someone to be a JS grunt, I’ll know very quickly if they can make a CRUD form because their job is to produce tangible assets which are immediately usable. In all but the most extreme cases, it takes months to years to tell whether a C-level hire is making good decisions, policies, hires, etc. and repairing the damage can be a substantial amount of work in its own right.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not in the US - I'm somewhat across the August slow-down though due to keeping up with overall macro markets etc.

P.S. Australia's Reserve Bank is a couple of hours away from raising interest rates again. Currently it's sitting at 1.35%, expectation is for a 50 basis point increase.
This is not true anymore. They released service discovery a little bit ago.
> escalating war of money

You mean like literally any other form of automotive racing?

The advantage here is that all that R&D would push for more powerful, lightweight, efficient EV powertrains instead of going into a dead, and largely "solved", problem of ICEs.
Traefik and Nomad play very nice together if ingress is your main concern.
>“The pesticides used are said to be non-toxic and include substances such as liquid garlic, soap, peppermint and rosemary.”

Said to be? Call me skeptical. The vector control districts in Florida, including Orange County’s, use conventional pesticides in abundance, including by aerial application. They’re very effective when combined with Integrated Pest Management.

That wasn’t an oversight on my part
OneTab is great. I’m using daily. Though it lacks a proper way to sync the OneTab list between devices. I have been waiting for their development since years
open rates are inaccurate but still somewhat useful because they’re generally consistently inaccurate month to month unless there’s been a change that would affect a lot of subscribers (eg iOS recently).

click rates are probably a better proxy for this.
Yeah same. In my simple mind I liken modern apps (esp. social apps) a bit like a casino - there's so much colors and "things going on" that it just feels a bit too intense for me over time. And color was one of the few app-configurations (along with muting notifications, adding Screen Time, and maybe complete uninstallation) that I had control over.. at least on the desktop web you can have extensions block some stuff for you. I tried greyscale mode on desktop too btw but to ruin the surprise for you - it SUCKED! :-)
I have Comcast cable and watch it via an HDHomeRun with a cablecard. Only "premium" channels are encrypted and that's mostly just HBO.

I use the "Channels"[1] software to record programs and save them directly onto my NAS.

Of course, all cable providers also have their own DVRs. And surprisingly, Tivo still exists. https://www.tivo.com
Years ago, before email as we understand it today existed, I roasted and sold coffee and the newsletter drove close to 80% of the sales.

Years ago I built a small "adult entertainment" business that was driven by a newsletter. High open rate, high engagement, strong sales accounting for a significant percentage of sales through the month.

Years ago I built a piece of software that made stock buy/sell recommendations. It was driven purely by a newsletter. The daily recommendations email went out once per day, very early in the AM. Once a week was an email with a link both at the top and bottom of the newsletter that you had to click to stay subscribed, and that newsletter had a little lengthier content in it. The newsletter was by invite only. It had good engagement. I got tired of running the business (wasn't very interesting) and I sold it off, and the new owner drove it into the ground within six months due to greed, making the newsletter less exclusive, and changing how engagement works and trying to use it as a vehicle to push advertising and other bad practices.

Years ago I built a piece of software that analyzed horse racing, and again, it was all driven by newsletter, and that accounted for all the engagement, most of the sales, upsell/cross-sell and subscription renewals. I sold the business after a couple of years, and watched the new owner drive it into the ground due to greed and not understanding what the newsletter was for.

I've also built a few other small side-businesses over the years, using long form content, long form sales pages and newsletters as the primary sales channels. They work wonderfully. But what you absolutely have to do is realize the value is in the mailing list, and it must be respected, and you cannot AB test it or exploit it to extract maximum value.

I still use newsletters, of a sort, for a few side-projects, and again, they work really well. Very high engagement. Especially on LinkedIn.

Of all the newsletters I've had over the years for various endeavours I've had a very high open rate, a very high engagement rate, and an incredibly low unsubscribe rate. But you have to treat the person receiving your newsletter with the same respect you would treat a well regarded acquaintance standing right in front of you. And the moment you stop doing that, your numbers will plummet.
Steam Deck's Funky Controls Prove That Gamepads Are Outdated
"value proposition" is about how you demonstrate the value.
It's a tradeoff. The most recent 11 speed mechanical from Shimano is really superb--if you keep it maintained. The electronic stuff stays true if you don't maintain it, but is a pain to set up. And if anything goes wrong, it is an expensive trip to the shop. If you fancy yourself a competent home mechanic, and enjoy working on bikes, it is a step backward. (Though, internal cable routing has taken all the joy out of working on bikes.)

For me, it is about lever feel. The up and down shifts are too close together. I've had this happen before, where I meant to shift down. Didn't work, so I press the button again, it is yet worse. Oh, I shifted the wrong direction, but now it is quite steep and I am quite misgeared. And shifting under load is bad for the system even if a motor drives the mech. Now i make that mistake less often, but I am still generally displeased about Di2. (Why am I on it then? My frame won't accept mechanical shift cables, and SRAM was out of stock. And I really wanted that bike.)

Also, nobody really needs 12 speeds. 1x13, you can almost cover the same range as 2x10 but keep the same ratio between shifts (there are a lot of redundancies in 2x10). And then no more front shifting. 1x14 and you are there. Wake me up when that happens. Yes, Campy Ekar, I know.
Are there any other places folks congregate to complain about recruiting on LinkedIn? I am working on a hiring-support-as-service platform to assist small companies and these kinds of sour grapes would be invaluable. Thanks in advance!
There are definitely mosquitoes in San Francisco. They sneak into my place if I leave the door open for too long and then wake me at 2am as well as doing other things mosquitoes do.
> installing up to date things from a language package manager is harder on Debian than elsewhere

For better or for worse, I think this is partly where my preference to use rbenv, pyenv, asdf, etc comes from.

The other part was from hosing my system installed pip packages for the Nth time because long ago I didn't fully understand pip (still don't, but I didn't then either) and I used a mix of "pip install" and "sudo pip install" when the former didn't work. I could only work on one thing at a time with this approach, and switching was a huge task because I had to figure out all the places where packages had landed and either remove them individually or blow the whole thing away.
Disney claims it's all garlic extract or whatever but I have always flatly not believed the claim.
I only offered CAS as a sop to the arcane MIC theology seen in this thread. All this prattle about per-unit basis, "Reformers", airframes, base rates, when the Pentagon can't even be audited. I don't particularly care about CAS; we shouldn't be there in the first place.

Either you agree, or you don't. If I can't figure it out, I can't care about it.
Maybe.

For my development needs I prefer Debian Stable and install the dev tools locally in my home directory rather than using the packaged versions.

Since I don't share those boxes, it works well for me. I keep up with the frequent Android Studio / VSCode updates that way.
Normally I'm a bit sceptical on such Rolling Stones Best-Of collections, but this list is exceptional.
You might be surprised to learn that ‘Equity Market Cap’ is not the only variable in the full equation which states a company’s value!

When you discover the second variable, you might also discover that Tesla’s ‘Equity Market Cap’ makes a lot more sense vis a vis the other top auto manufacturers based on the scale of that other variable in the valuation equation for those other companies.
I assume it's because "value prop" is VC lingo which is a prompt to founders to give their customer "elevator pitch", and we're on community forum that's motivated by VC perspectives & lexicon, so those get broadly appropriated by many participants.
An exception to the trope doesn't "put it to rest," except of course for that exception.

For Intel the interim CFO made CEO was actually executing a strategy that might have worked. I was pretty sure Gelsinger would be a catastrophic mistake because he wasn't a fabrication guy (but maybe they couldn't hire one?) and I'm sad to see this playing out. His strategy depends on one difficult to impossible, and one impossible thing: regain the ability to move to new nodes on a very fast time scale and change the corporate culture to accommodate foundry customers without buying such a company.

By now without having heard of mass firings of incompetent managers but plenty of reports it's still a snake pit or clown show if you prefer, and the latest capex decrease of $4 billion says nothing good. Even if the latter is just that they can't buy the machines they need.

While I'm at it, how well is their 10 nm now Intel 7 node at shipping parts? That was when Intel's decades of bad top level technical management snared their crown jewel.

Email: My full name all lowercase at gmail

I recently left Facebook after 12 years where I worked on all sorts of infra and products. I want to switch back to IC (I was a manager the last 6 years) and really get my hands dirty somewhere smaller.

I would consider myself a bit of a generalist extremist who just does whatever it takes to get the job done. I want to find a company where I can come in and help win in the market.
I asked the sales guy about this when I bought my 2019 Subaru and he was stumped, said no one had ever asked that before. But sure enough, the car could read flash drives similar to MP3 cds.
haha suck it, internal combustion engine cars.
If you are selective about the specific packages you are updated, you're closer to stable than you might think.
The parts are clearly cross-compatible and we’re again faced with what seems like an attempt to block repairs and replacements through software barriers. - https://www.ifixit.com/News/62684/were-pretty-sure-we-just-t...
Seems you got downvoted. No idea why. You are right on. I am pretty sure you could build cars that a human driver couldn’t drive because of acceleration in turns and braking.
It's my understanding that the Zeros are very low priority for production, so you might be waiting a while for those. Since you're only allowed to buy one per order anyway they're not actually that useful for much.
All the best games for the 2600 were by third parties. There were very few good Atari games and none of them came close to the quality of the best third party games. Pretty sure it was Atari's own horrible ET game that sank them, not other companies.

> Disliking units of work that compose together via graph relationships on the internet [...]

Oh, I don't care how the author writes it, or whether there's a graph relationship below (or anything else).

It's just that Twitter makes the experience of reading content like that a real chore.
Points being that:

1. Overcoming business incentivisation requires some external influence.

2. Individual action alone won't accomplish this.

3. We're part of that larger conversation.

Writing Google first shows a good-faith effort. Google's failed to respond to that. HN is upping the ante. Regulatory action is another level.

These are not exclusive or independent actions.

(This comment is a confession, of sorts.)
Note that your situation does not match the ones of the blog post. The article discusses several easily comparable options with clear valuation to the subject. Your situation describes a choice with incomplete information between two alternatives.

To dive into your setting: one challenge is that there are multiple optimisation strategies. Do you want to avoid risk as much as possible? Do you want the largest possible income? The highest job satisfaction? The best career path? Etc.

Note that even if you pick one of these as your sole optimisation factor, the choice is not clear. Eg. an industry position can make more money... or you have not-great luck, a string of mediocre jobs with little career growth and little payout. Or even bad luck and end up in jobs where you're a bad fit, learning nothing of career value to you and burning out repeatedly.

On top of that, any advice from experience would be tainted by survivor bias and its inverse; that is, "i liked the outcome, so do that" / "i hated that outcome, so don't do that".

Lastly, it isn't even clear (not can it ever be determined) that the downsides of choice paralysis are worse than the downsides of making the "lesser" choice. Maybe driving people this mad beats having to live in their couch for 6 months. Or maybe it doesn't.

In the end, your alternatives present a very complex scenario, in which no alternative can be fully explored without committing to it.
