i've added to my HN profile a link to my about page, which has email/matrix/etc.

my answers to your economic questions may be less concrete or justified than you'd hope for. they're generally aligned by some broad goal of "decrease the cost of baseline human existence to $0, and leave the culture to figure out the rest." in a previous era that would be phrased in terms of "post scarcity" of the base needs like food and shelter.

from the scarcity angle, automation is the way out and if it's widely replicable then many of the incentives that drive hostile behavior are reduced. in a previous life i was active in personal manufacturing, and creator/maintainer of some 3d-printing firmware that later expanded into open source pick-and-place machines.

today i'm more active in the base layer of computation: how can we fabricate logic gates/integrated circuits without costly, centralized fabs. i'm wrapping up some experiments around ferromagnetic logic gates. such logic gates would use materials that you can assemble safely on a SLS printer; for now i have only the repo -- i hope to write something more accessible in a month or so. https://git.uninsane.org/colin/fdtd-coremem
How is that related? That book is about educational policy, not student mental health?
> Like, an componentDidMount event is a now useEffect with no second argument?

Doesn't useEffect with no second argument run after every render? componentDidMount's equivalent is for an empty dependency array in the second argument?

Ask HN: What are examples of engineering focused publications?
I am applying for a EB-1A visa next year (I have O-1 at the moment), and one of the criteria is public acknowledgements of my work, e.g. interviews, podcasts, etc.

What are examples of reputable publications that I should work with to create public recognition of my work in web dev space? For context, I am prolific author of open-source https://github.com/gajus and a CTO of a fast growing startup using cutting edge tech.
It was a while back, here's the thread:

Unfortunately you can also see a more extreme example of this from the person who was just banned in this thread:

>...These threads don’t exist and never have. The real whites that get attacked just say that they want their own country and culture to exist.

Me and the person making allusions to parler are probably just troubled by seeing these patterns in a community that at first glance seems egalitarian(and probably is compared to many others).
Listen to some drum and bass.
Art has already been there for ages. I went to see Copenhagen Contemporary's exhibit of light & space and I'd never actually FELT art like that. It was quite exhilarating. Suddenly i understand what people say they feel when they connect with art.

That's not what people mean when they talk about AI art though. AI art is Commercial Art. What Horkheimer and Adorno famously called "The Culture Industry".

I'm mostly on your side, although the specific phrase "I want to read your work but..." [your opening sentence isn't good enough for me to grace your article with my superior writer eyeballs?] is perhaps problematic.

Otherwise, I agree that it appears helpful and applicable.
I find a bit annoying how artists tend to think their craft is ~so important to humanity and that their originality is the engine to new creations. There is this idea that they provide immense value to us and I just don't see that. Sure, I do love the entertainment they offer us, but that's about it.
Not exactly. The paid editions have free trials, but there's also a community edition that is free. However, it's pretty difficult to figure out what exactly is supported in the community edition. There's a whole list that mention various AWS services are only supported in "PRO", but I don't know if that means that free support might come later in community.
They're a long shot from the big lifted pickups though
For sure, going all in on anything when the price is within 5-10% of the all time high is just crazy. Maybe doing regular small buys to Dollar-Cost-Average your way in isn't so bad. Better than not holding anything of something you like, but the closer to ATH the buy is, the riskier it is.
Online artists, particularly those gunning for a big twitter following, have to hit it with a specific niche to make it big. I've seen people blow up for drawing really great knights, or sexy sea monsters, or for making really cool space ships. The big artists typically have an area of focus that goes viral. Or they are the highest professionals who work on Disney, Pixar, Video games etc.

I have a story of watching someone go big on twitter with their art. I met a girl from New Zealand with incredible talent on discord. She painted amazing humans and wonderful creatures. She would paint daily and really struggled with getting a following.

One day she posted a cute Pokemon girl with some busty cleavage... the post took off. She got thousands of likes and a flood of followers. She said she didn't want to resort to sexy smut to get a following, but the attention was too powerful. 6 months later she has 30,000 twitter followers and a whole community oriented around her work of drawing sexy Pokemon characters and anime girls with increasingly skimpy outfits.

While not the path she hoped for, she found her niche and as such she's made it into the limelight on twitter. So I think the moral of this story is that there is a path for artists to flourish online, but you need to find and target a specific area or interest... or draw lewd babes...
> Real Art, that which moves one's soul, is beyond the capabilities of artificial intelligence

It’s easy to test. Show people “real” art and AI generated art and see how often they can tell which is which.
This seems a little motte-and-baileyish. You start with "arts make the world a better place" and when presented with a critique you retreat towards "arts are the same as technology and science, let's treat them as one single group", which I don't buy.

If you want to call many separate systems with differing interests, ideologies and goals ‘the Illuminati’, go ahead. Nice strawman. The comment clearly name different parties.
The enforced middle man gives you a place to hold accountable or to physically complain to. And provides local jobs. Not to mention the infrastructure to handle things like recalls.

People complain about Tesla service but actively want MORE faceless corps not held accountable to sell them things. It makes no sense.
Yeah, this is not to belittle the complexity of React under the hood. But they are functions, and it seems you can assume they will be called in a straightforward manner when they render (whether they are invoked as explicit function calls or via returned JSX).

The only real complexity (for the developer) is the use of hooks, effects etc. if you don't mess with useMemo (which you generally shouldn't). Certainly they aren't pure functions, they have side effects and are stateful, and that has some nuances, but (kudos to the React team) once you understand hooks as a reference to the instance value and a setter for that value, they're pretty easy to understand.

I guess I don't personally find thinking of them as a class as that useful, my mental model of "it's just a function with some external references (via hooks)" gets me there.
I'd argue that Hyperpop is a more direct response to the commercialization of music.
I searched for any news regarding recent removal of MagiskOnWSA repo from github, but of course none found. Really nothing to worry about, instead look how easy to develop using powerful and free dotnet core|framework|. and deploy apps on Azure in just one click.
I tried using arch based distributions but the need for constant manual babysitting has turned me off them.

Packages randomly break and require hours of work to fix.
Non-rolling distribution will usually only break when there is major upgrade which can be scheduled for when you have the time to deal with it.

Pacman only works in interactive mode so using it on a headless means at least weekly session. Randomly that will use up an hour or two when something breaks, and it will.
Ubuntu based LTS distribution will last a couple of years without needing manual intervention after initial installation, and much longer if you don't upgrade to next LTS until the EOL.

Finally, if you need old software to build old version of something, Arch based distribution is useless. On Ubuntu I can download and install version 14.04 without much hassle (and even older with a bit of work) and build that old Android or sdk for device that is no longer supported but with Arch...don't waste your time, its not happening.
The data probably doesnt exist because no one was studying people under indentured servitude. The best you get is the slave owners or holder of the servitude contract going "its great, they love it! Look at my paternalism! Hey slave! Get back to work before I tear skin off bone with a lash!"

Wait, there exists mass market cars with secure software?
Hooks compose, whereas side effects and memoized values sprinkled through component constructors and lifecycle methods do not.

For example, the equivalent of useEffect required calls inside of componentWillMount, componentDidUpdate, and componentWillUnmount. You try and make something like this re-usable and you’ll be leaking details of your implementation across the whole component via inclusion in these lifecycle methods, not to mention any data you’re shoving onto the component instance. But it’s still doable.

Now, what if you wanted to use this re-usable behavior inside of another re-usable behavior? It gets complicated fast! Now your library needs to expose the lifecycle-updating methods of the underlying library, leaking details all the way down. Hooks are opaque from the perspective of lifecycle, while still having access to all the same… hooks.

I started making fermented hot sauce during COVID in 2020. There's a fancy grocery store near me that sells scorpions, ghosts, and reapers, as well as burdock, tamarind, mango, etc. I usually fermented for a week, and I've tried longer with little difference. I made an entire spreadsheet full of recipes that I tried, but ultimately I thought the fermented sour flavor overwhelmed everything. So, I started making them without fermenting, but with a little cooking to help break down some of the fruits and veggies and blend the flavors, and suddenly everything tasted 10x better. I was surprised, because for some reason I got it in my head that hot sauce must be fermented, when that's totally not true. Anyway, my $0.02 on fermenting hotsauce.

I think the difference is in the layer of abstraction i.e. FLANN is just the underlying search functionality whereas vector databases are fully managed solutions. Even so, Weaviate came out in 2018, so saying that they are the "first" vector database is just flat out wrong since Pinecone was founded in 2019.

Good in-ear monitors are almost exactly the same prices as hearing aids. So, while there might be some medical markup, it's remarkably less in hearing aids than in other areas.

They're focusing on transportation fuel (cars and airplanes), but another area of great potential is power generation. The current trend is to build solar/wind and replace coal with natural gas plants as a stop-gap until some grid-scale energy storage is ready. Everyone assumes that energy storage will be batteries.

But what if the natural gas plants don't have to be a stop gap? Just keep building more and more solar/wind, as much as the land can handle (imagine most of the desert in California converted to solar). Who cares if generation greatly exceeds daily demand. Use all the excess solar/wind to create fuel for the natural gas plants. There's already a vast infrastructure and experienced workforce to do this. Use the fuel during the evening and put any excess fuel into storage, there's so much existing ways to store fuel. Then use that during winter when solar generation decreases.

We need to stop thinking carbon fuel = fossil fuel and so carbon fuel = bad. Carbon fuel is simply a form of energy storage, a kind of "battery".
"That was the problem with Twitter: it just wasn’t convenient for nearly enough people to figure out how to follow the right people."

This was never the problem with Twitter. The problem with Twitter is that it has no option to turn of retweets globally; don't show me retweets from anyone, only original tweets. If it had this, so that I would only see original content from people I follow, I would be back on Twitter.
Huff it to get high
truck or car? loaded or empty?
Let me clarify. It is long solved on Windows and easy to implement at this point. I don't agree that it is easier to deal with in Linux.
This POV is making the wrong equivalency, though. Prog, Krautrock and early (usually more abstract/experimental) electronic music) weren’t usually released to meet “pop” ambitions. Sure, the most remembered ones from decades ago did yield some form of crossover appeal with mainstream radio audiences/marketing efforts at the time, but it’s not like those genres or their influence just vanished. Check out newer ‘prog’ bands like Black Midi, just as an example. They’re not on the radio or magazine covers but still have a significant following among music nerds, much like King Crimson 40 years back.

I think autotune and Top 40 charts are too often used as a scapegoat by people that simply became too lazy to seek out stuff on their own without first being filtered through a marketing campaign. The radio or the front page of any given streaming service is designed to appeal to the mass audience, so why would you be surprised as a fan of more outsider sensibilities when it doesn’t immediately represent your niche tastes? You’d be more likely to find that type of stuff in a music store, printed review, or some random blog not too long ago. Now, that may as well be discogs or wikipedia, and the internet is much more powerful today as a resource than the record store of old. I feel like many people are more bitter over their music taste not being socially validated by the mainstream rather than just enjoying what they like and being content with the circumstance that it’s “not for everybody.” TBH I feel like it’s more desirable as an artist to have a dedicated following of fewer number than being one that’s involuntarily shoved down everyone’s throat. Most modern pop and rap is as ubiquitous as it is because of enormous label astroturfing and marketing, just as genres like New Jack Swing or Nu-Metal or whatever was dominating MTV back when that was a 'relevant' source of music discovery. It's always been commercial! So it doesn't do much good to bemoan the corporate machine's aggressive shoveling of its corporate properties, just tailor your sources of discovery to places that better suit your interests if the lowest effort option isn't doing it for you.

To me, people that have a chip on their shoulder about autotune are frankly just projecting some other abstract frustrations and nostalgia over a nonexistent time where all music culture was contained to TV and radio. It wasn’t! Do some old fashioned digging and go deeper than just the surface, you’ll find plenty of good new stuff and a thriving music community if you actually try.
A lot of people would say the same about programmers.

Haha, yes. At some point people stop caring. You see people mulling around, getting their own food and drinks - just anything to pass the time.

> VPNs were always meant to carry internal traffic to a private network, not the public internet

This. And the idea that these so called ‘VPN’ services somehow improve your security and privacy on the internet is laughable. All they do is let you get onto the public, untrusted, internet through a different on-ramp. There is no point to them. The internet is just as untrustworthy through a VPN service as it is through any other internet connection.
I don't even want to think about how much surface area you'd need for solar panels intended to replace 6 megawatt-scale nuclear reactors, but I'm guessing football fields is the wrong unit to use...

Last time I checked, land wasn't cheap and they weren't making any more of it.
Yes! The same way, using CNG or bio-diesel (for example wood or algae-derived) in plug-in hybrid vehicles with smaller batteries (50 km) would be much more ecological than large battery vehicles.
Congrats! Cheers.

FWIW, React has always been designed around some Functional Programming type principles, such as immutable updates.

Immutable updates do in fact require that if you want to update `state.some.nested.field`, you have to make copies of _all_ objects in that path: `nested`, `some`, and `state`. This isn't unique to React.

Yes, class component `this.setState()` lets you get away with mutations. That's not really a _good_ thing. If anything, it's a holdover from an earlier era of JS, where it was much more common to use React with data structures that might be mutable.

With the `useReducer/useState` hooks, the React team explicitly designed them to require immutable updates and pass in new references, otherwise they'll bail out, assuming that since it's the same reference nothing was changed and no render is needed.

Some more details:

The ProtonMail article said it only applies to pre-existing connections, because iOS doesn't force them to close when an app enables its VPN. I'd be reluctant to call that a leak, unless it contradicts Apple's documented behaviors, which as far as I can tell make no mention of a systemwide VPN except for corporate "always on" ones. Besides, is there any reason why you can't just toggle airplane after enabling a consumer VPN to kill off the old connections? Then it should probably be fine.
I was developing VPN client for one of the popular VPN provider in the past for iOS and the solution was quite simple - enable on-demand VPN for 0.0.0.0/0

In this case, iOS will always wait until connection to VPN is established before sending any packets out.

Without on-demand, VPN may leak.

If I remember correctly, leaks occurred mostly after waking from sleep but before the tunnel had chance to be set up. Or in similar situations. Anyway, on-demand option solved all of them.
I don't know if glasses and contacts have the same accessibility problems.

I know people like to rage against the machine and reveal the ancient forbidden knowledge they have "discovered" about the Luxottica monopoly but you can get a vision test at any of the ten thousand or so optometrists in the US for $50.

Then you can order a pair of perfectly serviceable and stylish prescription glasses online for $20.

In the 30 years I've been buying glasses, I've never paid more than $100 except for the last time when I opted for the fancy blue-blocking and ultra-scratch-resistant coating and my glasses were $105.

Hearing aids cost thousands and thousands of dollars.

well it certainly is reassuring to know that not much has changed at all since my boomer-generation older relatives warned me away from ever buying a north american made car, instead recommending honda/toyota/mazda/nissan sedans, 30 years ago.

Every time I tried F# with .NET tooling it felt like the implementations were there to tick the "supports F#" checkbox - and nobody actually used it for the thing I tried to do because it broke really early on.

Early on one of the big selling points was reading all those type provider articles. Then I've tried it a couple of months ago and it was such a broken mess - not worth the time. From what I've read this isn't just my experience.

With, record types, switch expressions, top level expressions, file scoped modules, global usings, etc. C# removed a lot of cruft. Roslyn source generators actually work unlike type providers. If they improved the REPL/scripting aspect of C# I think there would be very little arguments for F# other than catering to FP crowd who like to like |> to |> write |> like |> this instead of this(like(write(to(like))))

I bought a Focus with Sync 1 last year, and it was infuriating. The most infuriating part was that every time the car starts it defaulted to aux in mode, and there’s no button on the panel to switch to Bluetooth — if I wanted to listen to music from my phone, it took about 8 or 9 button presses to navigate through three levels of nested menus to get to the “media source” option. Every time I got in the car.

I finally ripped the thing out and replaced it with a cheap Chinese CarPlay head unit that I got on clearance because it shipped with defective software (there was a firmware update available to fix it). I could not be happier with it.
