As someone who used/attempted to use Kicad in 2009 (it was introduced as 'another option' in my electrical engineering coursework alongside Eagle - long before the latter was acquired by Autodesk), it has received the Blender treatment. It has trivial all-in-one installers for most platforms, a decent standard library, solid documentation, very few bugs... it's as easy to use as Eagle today, which was not the case in 2009.
I shudder at the complexity of the task, but I almost think you need to manually tweak the vector space of a model that already works, and I have no idea how to do that in practice.

The amount of text required for a machine to grind through it millions of times to tease out the shape of a language doesn't sound like something you have. If you have the time of native speakers, it might be possible to build tools for them to correct the most "off" parts of the model interactively.
I used JavaFX a while ago and hated it. It was insanely slow, fonts were awful and the lib of components was non existent.

It really felt like something created by someone but never used in the real world. Is it even used anywhere?
@renato_mariotti: "James Comey was right when he testified that the DOJ typically does not prosecute cases involving the mishandling of classified material unless that material was deliberately transferred to a third party. That suggests to me that there is something we don't know here."
Certainly, the upcoming nuclear winters will be a lot cooler.
I have admin on my work Mac, but I'm not sure how to turn off the garbage. It's pretty annoying and definitely cuts down on my battery life significantly. Between that and Teams being a battery hog I might only get three hours out of what should be a whole-day machine.
I'm pretty sure the US govt has tracked down the vast majority of who owns which wallets. If it doesn't know now it'll figure out some time in the future.
Culture determines your publicly expressed outward identity, I have no doubt that people have assumed a gay/trans/etc identity privately for far longer than we've had terms or tolerance for them.

Some of the most common observations by our very small trans elderly is that they "found a way to describe" or "finally found the words" for who they are, ie the identity was always there but no terms to identify with.

I think by and large it's nature (fraternal birth order effect, twin studies etc) modulated to the extreme by societal rejection. You dont see gay men in the streets of countries where homosexuality earns the death penalty, you instead see extremely depressed "straight" men :)
Great book. Another good one is Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein, which covers some of the same ground, in terms of understanding the dynamics that tie together people and communities, ensuring fairness and an appropriate level of redistribution, but with needing a formal money system or taxation. (Potlatching, for example...)
that's a good point, and sadly apps like tinder just reinforce that

But think of the value created for shareholders! https://www.offshore-technology.com/news/oil-majors-report-r...

This is a real problem; whereever there's an unowned resource, such as the atmosphere, there's a profit to be made by looting it or dumping externalities into it, and as long as people are profiting from this it's difficult to get them to care.

This includes pensioners, by the way, not just a narrow billionaire class. Almost everyone with a private pension ("401k" in US speak) is probably a beneficiary of this unless they've taken steps to avoid that.
Thanks for the info, that ship has sailed for me now anyway.
> You simply can't argue that money laundering isn't rampant on cypto currencies.

Actually, I can quite easily argue that. Neither of your sources give evidence or numbers that justify your assertion.

In fact, less than 1% of transactions are shown to be illicit activity, and the majority of that is scams, not money laundering. Here's a report from your 2018 source, CipherTrace, only using more recent data: https://ciphertrace.com/2020-year-end-cryptocurrency-crime-a...

I quote:

> Cryptocurrency, with its similar characteristics, may likewise struggle to ever completely shake its bad reputation, despite illicit transactions making up less than 0.5% of Bitcoin’s yearly volume in 2020.

A more important clarification, which is precisely the reason I used blockchain instead:

Crypto != cryptocurrency.

You conflate the two several times across this thread, they are not the same.

With that aside, I'll ask again. Can you show some figures that back your assertion that there is a "high rate of money laundering flowing through crypto[currency]"? I would assume not, given that the very firms actively working with regulators and monitoring this activity disagree with that assertion.

Here's a nice, sourced writeup for you so that you can spread accurate information and not assumption construed as fact in the future: https://blog.coinbase.com/fact-check-crypto-is-increasingly-...
I think if the algorithm were deployed alongside a processes for combating money laundering.

The press release specifically calls out a lack of efforts to block known bad actors and illegal funds from using their system:

> Despite public assurances otherwise, Tornado Cash has repeatedly failed to impose effective controls designed to stop it from laundering funds for malicious cyber actors on a regular basis and without basic measures to address its risks.

So you probably can provide a mixing service if you can find ways to reasonably limit money laundering on it. This would probably be antithetical to the decentralization principles built into Tornado, but might allow continued legal operations.
Ok, so be it. C and C++ are still insane to work with.
Looking around ARM mortgages were around 3% of all mortgages in 2020-2021 era, so I don’t think it’s fair to generalize that peoples mortgages are going up. But yeah, people will become immobilized if their property has decreased in value, until it recovers, and that’s unfortunate.

And these types are the ones that interrupt me to ask obvious questions that can be figured out with a little research on their own or catch me in the hall for a “quick” chat about trivial matters or gossip that lasts for 20-30 minutes several times a day. Meanwhile, I stay late to get work done since several hours have been wasted commuting to the office, chatting, and going to inefficient meetings.

Bottom line is that companies save money on real estate and utilities, have happier workers, live in healthier environments due to less car pollution, can hire from a larger pool, and attract the best talent when they offer work from home.

Companies that do not take advantage of this will be at a structural disadvantage, so the almighty savings of dollars will likely make this trend unstoppable.
Sorry, but no. Yes, the greens pushed for exiting nuclear, but it was the Merkel government which hastened it and at the same time cut down the deployment of renewables. Germany could be much further ahead without that. We still are at 50% renewables in the mix, while nuclear was at its peak below 30% like 20 years ago.

The ranking German politician is former chancellor Schröder and indeed, this is very much critisized throughout Germany.

Not everyone would have a 1-2 hour commute but I do think shaving that time off is a fine reason to work from home. Or getting to work for a company that's headquartered thousands of miles away. It's why I myself work from home. But there are a lot of benefits from working in the office. Although it may be beneficial for some people with certain needs or contexts, WFH is not a categorical improvement over working in an office for every person ever.

If what you say is true then Hacker News cannot remove any submission or any comment.

Unless some content is more “freedomtastic” than others but then that leads to determining what is acceptable speech and what is not. That is more dangerous than allowing private entities complete control because the central tenet of freedom of expression is that all expression is equally free.

In actuality no speech is more or less valid— you just have no obligation to propagate it no matter how important or unimportant it is.

And the scale argument, what most people fall back to when they realize that their initial position is indefensible, is irrelevant.

A single word written on a scrap piece of paper read by one person is just as important as a mass-messaging appeal that is vital to the billions.

An organization, vital to the very existence of all human beings on earth has the same rights to control their property as a single homeless person whose only possessions are the things he carries on his person.

Or at least, they should. Perfection is unattainable but we should strive for it so that systems where a homeless person doesn’t have the same protections as a multibillion-dollar corporation should not see calls for the large entity to have its rights curtailed but instead should see calls for the small entity to have its rights enhanced.

As far as I’m aware the only exceptions to this, broadly speaking, have been those made for health and safety purposes or when entities have been granted a license or permission to own finite public resources like the radio spectrum, or if criminal law has been violated.
> It is a very different situation for people who trade work hours in exchange of getting paid.

Yes but if you work for a firm that wants to have interns/grads it relies on the "people who trade work [for pay]" to help do the training.
You might want to see if you can get a prescription for Propranolol and have some guided exposure therapy while on it. People have used it to successfully cure arachnophobia and other phobias.

It works surprisingly well and helps you essentially erase those old memories / fear and reconsolidate new ones.

You need to follow the protocol carefully. It is roughly:

1. expose yourself to the fear

2. take propranolol

3. rest for 90 minutes (light reading, sleep)

4. wait a few days and get good sleep

5. re test

I wish you best of luck!!!

Not really.

All it really takes is a brief look at history to determine that Elon Musk has been saying FSD is less than 6 months away for well over 5 years. Some basic pattern matching skill should instill the idea that FSD is not actually coming anytime soon, and that it's all marketing bullshit.
When I was faced with that task, I rapidly got fed up with hand-assembling and relocating my code and went off to write an assembler to run on a computer with somewhat less anaemic IO. I doubt I actually used it more than once or twice, but it was fun to write.

HN is specialized in current discussions as compared to forums. This is why we don't have notifications here. Very often people ask the same questions or make the same wrong assumptions. (Not exceeding) copy-pasting helps to keep the local discussion going without forcing people to click a lot. It also allows to improve your answer with time.

Disclaimer: It seems I am breaking the rules here, too: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... And I disagree with such rules of course.
I'm in Germany. I simply searched for "Ukraine" and set the result language to "German". The first two results are from "Russia Today" and "News-Front", both well known for skewing facts or outright lying. "News-Front" for example reports that Putin is supposedly very popular in Germany and Austria. This isn't true at all. The only people who are worshiping him are the far-right and far-left. They are not the majority.

Searching for "Deutschland" results in "deutschland.de" which is ok but then, once again, followed by "News-Front" and "anti-spiegel", some crappy Wordpress conspiracy blog. I also took the liberty to search for "Proteste in Deutschland" (protests in Germany), and low and behold: First 3 results: Wikipedia, "Russia Today" and "Report24". The last one yet another propaganda website run by "Querdenker" (our version of Qanon-style Antivaxx nutjobs).

Searching for "Ukraine Krieg" (Ukraine war) once again leads to RT and News-Front.

"Energiewende" is also a quite popular word in Germany. What does yandex say to this? Again, first 2 results are ok. Third result? That shitty Querdenker page "Report24" again. 5th result is Russia Today. And somewhere at the end i even spot "Reitschuster", a known right-extremist blog.

There is no way in hell, that these websites are so well optimized, that they outperform every single outlet in existence, for pretty much every keyword i can think of just now. Especially not some shitty Wordpress page (Report24) that was clicked together in mere days and online for just a single year.

Searching for these keywords in the localized version of Google and even Bing gives wildly different results. There is no sign that any outlets are preferred. Sometimes i see right-leaning sources on the top of the first page, sometimes it's left-leaning, other times it's some trash tabloid like the "BILD".

So either their search algorithm is complete and utter trash, or they are actively boosting pro-russian websites and mix them up with a few established news outlets, to make them seem more trustworthy. Since their "news" section is also only allowed to show state-approved media, my guess wouldn't be very far off.

Ask HN: Stripe dashboard fails to display- could a Stripe dev help?
Hi HN,

Resorting to the good ol' "expose-problems-on-the-frontpage-of-HN-to-get-a-solution" hack since Stripe support basically told me that it's not their problem and that I should contact Firefox.

Here's the deal: my Stripe dashboard won't load (Error: Unable to load this view) across multiple pages (home page, payments, connect and more...) and I've been unable to view my stats for several (non-consecutive) days now. It works on Chrome but not on Firefox and I really don't want to have to switch to Chrome to access a website made by a multi-billion company counting hundreds of engineers.

I'm using Firefox@latest on MacOS 10.14 (Mojave). I opened up the browser console and found several warnings (related to cookies apparently) and at least one failed GET request: https://imgur.com/a/6No50sP

When I clear my cache / cookies and log back in, it usually fixes the problem for about 30min.

Could any dev @ Stripe chime in?

Appreciate your help!

Too late for what exactly? Majority of climate scientists agree the situation is dire, but there are many actions that can be taken to reduce the short-term and long-term impact, via both adaptation and reducing carbon emissions.
The 6800U models on the market just show that the integration by the OEM is far more important than the choice of CPU. The Asus Zenbook S 13 manages to hit 60° on its bottom case under sustained load, which is an impractical temperature. The Lenovo Yoga 9i which on paper uses a hotter Intel CPU runs cooler, quieter, and longer while also beating the Zenbook on benchmarks. So you really have to look at the entire package.
AMD 6800u also has insane graphics compared to the Intel. You can actually play triple A games at acceptable framerates.
> but for the sake of the nation

It honestly does not matter at this point. Remember when Trump said “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters"? Still holds up today and he's not even running for anything. The feds can find the most damning evidence of the most heinous crimes and will still not change the minds of the MAGA crowd. We're in the post-reason context right now.
Or buy used stuff that's usually better quality and built to last.
It does matter in the sense you are referring to basic sampling theory that anyone with 30 minutes to spare could learn, but quoting that to someone who's job literally depends on understanding it. You can assume he gets it and is making a point with that in mind.
We were in a position to buy during the last crash, when there was a bit of a discount off the bubble. So in my experience, in the long run, paying less up front is better than paying more.
Generally, though, hotter weather means more water evaporates, and regardless of whether the air can hold more or less water, over time the same amount that goes up will come down, meaning total precipitation will increase as the earth gets warmer.

That doesn't mean that this increase will be uniform. The rain may very well come in Sahara, Arabia or Central Asia.
Does this include ironsource or did that not happen yet?
Yeah some people lack brains to understand that a global change doesn't imply local changes going the other direction. The example I give them is usually: Your neighborhood can get richer and you can loose your job.

It sounds like this is the actual problem you need to address.

> extra-curricular activities

There is no curriculum at work. Socialising isn’t exclusive to the work place. There are ample opportunities to meet people outside of the office.

It requires a small shift in our thinking because WFO is soo ingrained in us, we get confused once it’s not mandated. That doesn’t mean social contact is not easily within reach.
Ah, yeah I could see that.

I tried using NoScript a long time ago and felt it just broke everything and I didn't want to start whitelisting every site I use just to make the web usable. uBlock Origin is good enough for blocking ads and trackers.
The difference is that Electron is bundled with every app.

If you have 200 electron apps, that’s 200x30mb.

With Java, the JRE is reused so the binaries can be smaller.
Not everyone has other social activities they enjoy.

Or the social activities they might enjoy, involve some skill prerequisite they don’t have, or time commitments they can’t keep.

Essentially, if someone was already a social person and had existing social groups for those hobbies that the office commute interfered with, then wfh was a gift.

But for those who enjoy their job, and enjoyed in-office collaboration, there is going to be a lot of effort and several prerequisites required to attempt to replace that outside the office.
I recently turned down a m1 mba for $1100 in favour of a 2015 mba for $500. The keyboard is so dramatically better in the 2015 model, I couldn’t believe it. The battery is great, seems to last about 10h in a charge while writing and browsing and using discord.

I don’t care how fast it is as long as it continues to have those mediocre low travel keyboards. They’re better than their worst keyboards from the 2018 era but they still aren’t good
From the article it sounds like it affects ~1% of cars, and causes a complete loss of ability to brake. The one guy in the article linked in the comments had it total his Ferrari in June 2021, bought a new one, and it happened to the new one almost immediately too, in July 2021.

Doesn’t sound THAT rare for such a serious issue. Ferrari’s themselves are pretty rare though, so total numbers are low (23.5 K in the states, so 1% affected would mean about 235 cars).
> circle has blacklisted any USDC address that has been owned by the tornado cash protocol, which means anyone using tornado cash for legit purposes will lose every dollar they had in USDC

Wasn’t aware of that. Fair enough. Innocent people will get harmed.

That said, innocent users whose USDC was frozen haven’t lost their money. They’ll have to show they weren’t laundering money. When they do, they should be able get it unfrozen. If that doesn’t work they can pursue legal remedies, though the law in all of this is obviously undeveloped. We are in dire need of stablecoin legislation; something to add might be controlled redemption for users the issuer no longer wishes to associate with.

Their situation is analogous to getting money stuck at PayPal. If you don’t want to take that risk, don’t use PayPal. If you don’t want to run the risk of your stablecoin getting stuck, don’t use mixers. Particularly after they’ve been publicly identified for laundering money.

People have been talking about all of this for years. It was continuously shouted down, or claimed to be impossible because blockchains are above the law or something. I get that there was a lot of noise above that signal. But like, it’s North Korea. On the balance of harms, of course this is what happens. There was never another endgame. The wheels of justice just turn slower than bullshitters spin yarn.
