Hah! I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of the game. It's designed to kill time while waiting on the bus or train, but it also works well for marathon sessions when you're in the mood for it.

Thanks for checking out Farmhand! :)
Interesting, this is blocked by CloudFlare's 1.1.1.2 malware DNS service:

$ drill -Q @1.1.1.2 share.ipfs.io -> 0.0.0.0
$ drill -Q @1.1.1.1 share.ipfs.io -> 209.94.78.1

Suppose it's probably a popular method to exfiltrate data for malware?

The people you're talking about have already quit talking about the thing you would now be interested in, so you're too late already.
Musk wants public debate with Twitter CEO instead of that upcoming court trial
I see this argument as semi-fallacious, since it's really asking "can you recall infinite things on an infinite timescale using this method"? Sure, the math might add up, but humans are reliably fallible. I do agree, from practice, that practicing spaced repetition can increase the breadth of knowledge beyond that of "casual learning", but I've seen my brain fail on aged entries too.

Nicky Case's intro to spaced repetition is pretty stellar, both as a crash course and the reasoning behind it: https://ncase.me/remember/
If I use Tornado Cash, I'm not funding North Korea -- I'm simply using their service. I have no knowledge of who is receiving my stuff and no intent to fund North Korea, therefore I am not funding North Korea. If it happens by accident then oh well, there's no realistic way to tell it happened anyway and there's certainly no way for me to tell it did
Also, if a human has to be told a basic fact they'll generally provide an indication of embarrassment or an excuse or "why are you asking me these questions", not try to continue the conversation with interesting facts...
The writing’s on the wall. Browser dominance is too niche of a problem for the industry to care about.

Blitz Basic has always looked like fun. I've never tried doing anything nontrivial with it or any other contemporary BASIC. Maybe someday, because James Hague wrote this memorable piece: "Slumming with BASIC Programmers" https://prog21.dadgum.com/21.html
Vetocracy and NIMBY under the same conceptual umbrella? I need to think about it, I see the semantic fields have non-intersecting areas that can be contradicting. E.g. how saying no to externalising pollutants to rural areas is a vetocracy?
I'm interested in how this works with hardware specific code? Can Nix detect host hardware and build for that?
Again, this is all very simple. Someone who transacts with an address that is on a sanctions list is in violation of sanctions.
You haven't had anything like financial privacy in the US in decades. The bank secrecy act was passed in 1970, FFS.
That's strange. I have TOTP 2FA on my Twilio account. AFAIK there is no requirement for it to be SMS.
I think you're right on about a lot here... I'll try to explain why I used the Robinhood analogy:

(1) What I feel is missing in the exercise app landscape is a product that is highly-usable to people and spans all types of activity. So my objective is to let people check in with only two clicks regardless of whether they lifted, did a yoga class, went for a walk, or played in a softball game, and ultimately to compile all of that information into a single chart which represents your exercise life. I was really inspired by the simplicity of the Robinhood and Cash App UIs and always wanted to get that "single chart" to work for exercise (it's still very much in the works as I'll mention in #4 below).

(2) There is a lot of high-risk activity on Robinhood, but those use-cases don't negate the fact that it also allows anyone to make recurring deposits into a wide range of asset classes. Maybe we can think of a highly-leveraged trade like someone maxing out their back squat on their first day in the gym and severely injuring themselves. A recurring deposit into an ETF would be more like making sure you do a light jog every day. There will always be various use cases when you make a generic product.

(3) You absolutely fade/atrophy when you don't exercise regularly (in fact, you do so frighteningly quickly)... but the benefits of regular exercise also do compound over time when you are consistent. I don't think we need to dive into whether that compounding maps directly to the S&Ps average annual return or not to agree that if you are able to get yourself to do some push ups every day for 50 days straight, you'll be in a lot better shape than you were to begin with :)

(4) Regarding the science-based approach. I couldn't agree more. We're trying to develop estimates from experts on how effective each exercise is for different adaptations, and we're starting here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10f_PoTkQ0T5wDmrokRh-...

For now, our goal is to see how people enjoy our planning and check in flow / UI. Would love it if you gave the app a shot and continued to share feedback as we build! :)
TornadoCash is left because it's still usable despite the sanctions?

This has zero impact on peoples' ability to use the service. Just chain hop a few times with privacy coins if you want to cash out on a cex
How exactly are secularlists disenfranchising religions? There is a large swathe believing the separation of church and state is religious oppression, and they act like the country is not for those of all faiths.
If you work in a place where you have teams (multiple) of developers doing Docker crap, then nix is probably not for you.

To each his own, it targets an entirely different niche.
That’s just one frame on the question at hand, that tilts the poll in one direction.

The principle at hand here is if online transactions ought to have a floor on visibility by law enforcement higher than using cash. So there are other versions of the question that would get you different answers.

Disclaimer - you have to believe in the multiverse or multi dimensions for this comments but...

This is the transcript of the talk I heard that told me about Blue Brain:

"It's called the Blue Brain project in Switzerland. They have combined many different types of technologies and what they have done is they have essentially created a type of MRI that can scan the entire brain. All of the intricate structures of the brain itself and what they have discovered is that some of us and have in our brains fourth, fifth, sixth dimensional structures already. There are other people that have seven, eight, nine dimensional structures in their brain. You're a third density physicality and yet in your brain you have multiple dimensional structures!"

I always come back to the book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland and try and grok that hey, maybe dark matter we observe here in 3d is just stuff from these weird other directions a flatlander wouldn't understand.
You are correct in your assumption - the storage limit impacts SaaS only. I added some context on the rollout in a previous comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32387597
Practical application of the theory

Whether you mean "remembers sophomore college statistics classes better than most people" or "has done graduate-level research into new analysis techniques and applications" or "knows what buttons to click in Tableau/Excel/PowerBI/Splunk/etc"
Yes shame on you for not realizing a 0.x versioned technology would make breaking changes on minor version updates.

Given:

1) Terraform uses Semantic Versioning [0]

2) Semantic Versioning specifically states that 0.x APIs are not stable [1]

Therefore:

Your complaint that a 0.x versioned tool wasn't stable is not valid.

Conjecture:

Your complaint exists as an excuse to remain ignorant of a new tool or technology simply because it is new. This makes you a luddite. [2]

If you wanted to complain about Randi Weingarten, I wouldn't be needling you; I'd be quietly upvoting you. But that's not what you're doing. The mainstream Democratic party, the part of it that controls all the votes in all but the bluest districts in the country (even in San Francisco!) agrees with a lot of what you're saying. All I'm asking you to do is to recognize that fact, and to stop painting with this giant paint roller of a brush that you're using. If you suck all the nuance out of these issues, we're left with a battle between soon-to-be-recalled leftist school board dilettantes and deranged militia LARPers beating Capitol police with fire extinguishers. There's nothing interesting, or useful, or, for HN, appropriate about that debate.
The text is so big! I get 9 items on my monitor vs 30 on the HN page.
I counted 31 items on Omegapedia's first page, but I have to scroll down to see them then go to the next page.

Tried to middle click and right click to open story in another tab, didn't work. Took a minuted to realize it won't let me do that. It appears that I have to open link on the same page and use back to return.

Highlighting text won't let me search, instead it takes me to the link.

Didn't find many comments. It would be nice to have an option to look for pages with most comments and to have a time filter on your sort so one could just look for posts in say the last month or week, not just over all time.

I am likely too used to the HN layout - high density, no scrolling per page, just hit next page at the bottom.
Quickly open stories in tabs and read the articles at my leisure.

It would be nice to be able to configure how the page is displayed and its behavior opening links.

GitLab Support Engineering Manager here. These limits will first be soft limits as they are now. Impacted users will be notified and there will be about 2 months to take action before enforcement starts. After that point, limits will be enforced.

If you’d like to investigate now you can use the GitLab API to fetch job artifacts and their storage size: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/jobs.html#list-project-jobs and calculate the summary.

I’d suggest collecting all pipeline jobs to be deleted using this API endpoint https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/job_artifacts.html#delete-job...

We are looking to improve the visibility for job artifacts in the UI as we get nearer to the storage limit being enforced.
Tesla forum is literally the perfect example of selection bias.
Don't consider this financial advice by any means, but more life advice: anything you spend money on should be something you couldn't be happy without, as long as purchasing it doesn't ruin your life later. Money is only a means to basic resources; anything above that is just consumerism. So rather than buying the nicest house "because you can" or "because later it might be worth more when I sell it and I'll get more money", don't consider the finances at all, other than "can I afford it?"

What I'm saying is, find a house you and your fiance (and whatever plans you may or may not have for... other people living there in the future) can be happy in, that you can afford, and go with that, regardless of whether it's the fanciest house you can afford or not. That "dream house" -- is it really a dream house if, as you said, it would interfere with other life goals that may be more important to you? Or is it just a "fancy house" that looks nice and comfy but has strongly diminishing returns on the utility curve?

Think of it this way: if you buy a big fancy house, you may make more money selling it later in life. If you buy a more modest house, you will have more money now. So either option leaves you with money, it's just a matter of what you'd do with that extra money now vs later. If you have life goals that are important to you, and that would cost money short-term, buy the smaller place. If all your goals are long-term only and you won't need to pay for them until decades down the line, then sure, go for the fancy house.
I think you also need to add video of occluded areas, so backs of ears and nostrils too. Shouldn't be too invasive but you have got to do this so you don't get deep faked.
Media forensics algorithms do work on various forms of rebroadcast, transmission, and compression, so yes this should be possible (for now). look up darpa medifor project. Siwei Lyu (in the article) did a bunch of work in this space. Also see Hany Farid and Shruti Agarwal. They've worked specifically with deep fake detection.

Sonos has done a pretty decent job at keeping hardware alive. IIRC they still have S1 products alive but created S2 in the last few years because people wanted new features that required more CPU than their old devices could handle.

They still maintain an old S1 app for older devices and I think those devices should still all work. I don’t think there’s a plan to “turn them off”. A lack of new features is something that may or may not be a problem.

Actually, I think audio companies in general have been pretty good about keeping products alive. Even the old Amazon Echo Gen 1 I think still works… and that’s a full-on smart device that exists for the smarts not the audio quality.
> look for, in dev teams is "strong opinions, loosely held".

Rather strong opinions, not super-strongly held.

If you know you're somewhat flexible in your opinion, it's going to be quite strong, but not all that strong. OTOH, if you have an even somewhat strong opinion, it's no use letting yourself be swayed from it all that easily; make them advance quite a good argument for it first.

But then, depending on how heavily you load your adjectives, maybe that's what your (admittedly much more pithily put) version meant, too. I just wanted to put the modifiers out there lest someone read the maxim at its strongest.
I would speculate this would be much more beneficial for putting Amazon logo/brands onto roomba and or improving warehouse drones than the claim of household mapping. People love roomba, Amazon loves buying functional brands that can be absorbed into the ecosystem.
Looking forward to how Steam Deck will change, if at all, the 1% demographics of the Linux Desktop.
Do you have any sources for this claim? Are there any stats about VPN deployments anywhere? I have never seen a VPN deployed in this way. Who are the companies that do this? Mom and pop shops with a two employees? Or 1990s corporations which were blissfully unaware of online threats?
Those things are in your paper encyclopedia too, they just won't ever be fixed.
Much of your experience was Caltech specific, and will simply not translate to other schools. Caltech is famous for this - more so than schools like MIT, etc.

1. I learned the hard way, as did others, that one should still memorize with open book exams (or at the least make a 1-2 page cheat sheet). Why? Because there was a time limit and most professors would not alot enough time for people to even look up everything they needed in the textbook. Sure, if they increased the time by 50-100%, you'd do just fine with memorizing.

I'm not even hypothesizing there. After one open book exam I went and asked everyone who got a good score - most had incorporated some level of memorizing. And clearly most who did not memorize at all got a poor score (which is less surprising than it should be, because most students will do poorly regardless ;-) Still, I was the clear exemplar of one who improved from "below average" to "one of the top students" within the duration of one semester when I finally embraced that some level of memorization would be needed.

2. True, and I can relate to trig identities - most of which I remember 25 years later - and even after over a decade of not needing them. However, when I got to more advanced topics in math, the frequency with which I would need to use them dropped significantly, and the approach of "Just do lots of problem sets and you'll passively memorize" failed me in grad school.

> we were not expected to use the Laplace transform until its derivation was demonstrated. This applied to all the formulas used. FFTs too.

Did they teach you measure theory before those transforms? Did they teach you measure theory before probability? Did they teach you the theory of distributions before the Dirac-Delta function?

> Which is why some engineering schools are better than others. I applied to the USN&WR list of "top 10 engineering schools in the US". Caltech was #2.

I went to a top 5 engineering school. Can assure you Caltech's approach is not the norm.
I am honestly surprised as much time passed as it did before we got to this point. Tesla could have sold preorders for a future product called autopilot and gave away the current feature-set renamed as "smart cruise control" for free with every purchase and completely dodged this bullet. The current product would be no less remarkable for it either.

I worry that what may kill Elon's ventures in the end will be the collective weight of many small moments of impatience or hubris compounding over time, which is sad because the broad strokes have been fairly well played so far.
Man, I only gave some friendly feedback ;)

"this will absolutely trash the performance of a DFA search loop."

Do you happen to have some hard data to quantify? I'm curious.
Your professor was 100% correct: chips haven't been getting faster, though, and for precisely the reasons they stated.

However, parallelizing work onto separate cores turned out to continue to extend performance, so it didn't matter so much.

That said, I feel like there were many things that were faster 25 years ago than now, so even multicore hyper-threaded CPU improvements are being chewed up by software doing more. Still, that's a separate issue.
Out of curiosity, how hard would Linux have to be to setup for you to no longer define "relatively skilled" as "able to setup Linux in < a week"?
If you are smart and talk smart you don't need to be quiet, but if you are not smart you can appear smart by saying less.
It was exactly the same with voice recognition and synthesis software. Those are complex apps, often born in academia with obscure dependencies.
> Luck is when opportunity meets preparedness.
Good luck writing iOS, iPadOS, or Android apps with POSIX only APIs.
Even if they don't today - if all image recognition is done on the machine (which is frankly unlikely) - nothing stops a software update from changing this.

That's one of the boons of technology that's also a bust. There's no technological barriers to changing how a product behaves.
What about Rails causes this problem as opposed to other frameworks?
Thanks :-)

I don't agree that GML is designed for people who are not programmers though. I actually grew rather fond of GML (The language in Game Maker Studio) over the 2 years I learned to work with it (and that's coming from an experienced Software Engineer (TypeScript, Go, Clojure, Java, C/C++)). It's not perfect by any means, but it's very easy to get started with, has lots of features designed specifically for 2d gamedev, is actively improved by YoYo Games and getting better all the time. And it allows for rapid experimentation which was a huge benefit during development on Kells, given how many ideas where repeatedly thrown away.
What you've done here is retreat from a motte (I couldn't even name two people who disagree) to a much stronger bailey (OK maybe they exist but they're only in a minority). But how do you know if there's a consensus or not? How do you know they're a minority? Did some journalist tell you that? Or a scientist who has taken the doomer position? Nobody is really trying to properly measure this and it'd be meaningless to do so because we see what happens to scientists who disagree with end-of-the-world claims - they mysteriously can't get papers published anymore whilst counterclaims sail through peer review and straight into the front pages of national news. Academia doesn't have the systems needed to do something as hard as establishing the truth of things. That's why there's so many nonsensical or fraudulent papers out there.

So people don't take it seriously for a whole lot of reasons:

1. There's no penalty associated with making end-of-the-world predictions that turn out to be wrong, not even in the short term. We saw this with COVID. Scientists made predictions that were totally invalidated just weeks later, repeatedly, with no visible consequences or even any admission that anything had gone wrong. Indeed they routinely lied about their own predictions that were made in writing, and got away with it!

2. This is 100x more true in the long term. Climate predictions have a long history of being wrong. One dramatic example is Stanford Professor Paul R. Ehrlich who in 1969 was saying we'd all "disappear in a cloud of blue steam" within 20 years. He predicted America would be subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980. He said "By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people". He was claiming the threat was global cooling before switching to claiming the opposite.

What happens to people who make such expensive claims (for society) and yet turn out to be wrong? Nothing - they pretend they were right all along and the parts of our society most dependent or in hock to academia goes along with the fraud rather than call it out (which is anyway pointless because universities are basically impervious to accountability for their output).

But people see it, they remember, and they tune it out. I think this is why skepticism is more common amongst the elderly population. They're old enough to remember the long history of bad claims. They see that getting it wrong never matters, that wrongness is rewarded. And they stop believing. The young haven't seen that so swallow it all.

3. Scientists who predict doom often don't act like they believe it. The famous discovery that climatologists attend more foreign conferences than many other types of scientists, the way Prof Ferguson insisted lockdown was impossible to avoid and then broke his own rules to see his married lover, etc. These people invariably claim everyone must submit to terrible hardship that mysteriously vanishes the moment it might get in the way of something they want.

And so on.
Thanks for providing a more nuanced reply here and in other spots.
