Can you explain where the ads are? I must be missing something, I don't see a single ad. I get:

"Scholarly articles for cancer genetics conferences" with several links to Google Scholar.

City of Hope Clinical Cancer Genetics | Annual Conference

CGC Annual Meeting 2022 - Cancer Genomics Consortium

Cancer Genetics and Epigenetics - Gordon Research Conferences

A few more links to the "City of Hope" conference

Genetics in Clinical Cancer Care - Controversies, Insights & Scalable ... (Uchicago.edu)

EACR Conference on Cancer Genomics

Conferences - Ambry Genetics

Oh wait, I get a single (possibly relevant?) ad at the very, very bottom - 2022 Cancer Conference - Attend the 40th Annual CFS®
I think I've seen something along these lines. Sounds equal parts interesting and horrifying.
This is true but we have no way of known which ones will be problematic.

After all someone thought nitrate fertilizer was going be the biggest boon to world peace.
Is the question not just one of defining the sets of "things" that are being accepted here? It's not that the compiler shouldn't care, but that you have defined an appropriate data structure and set of acceptable types that you would nicely pattern-match on when using them later.

To @kazinator's point, it's not quite going to be just lists of random things, in that Haskell's list elements are all the same type, unlike what Common Lisp lets you do. I'd be more curious whether this could be lists of "Thing", where that Thing type is a typeclass that is inclusive of all the sorts of data you would expect to handle.
Show HN: Madepublic – a platform for indiemakers building in public now in beta
My name is Chris, I'm the solo founder and builder of madepublic!

I started building madepublic over a month ago when I wanted to build a different application in public and found the options available to me lacking. Tweets and Twitter threads are good for reach but poor for organisation, information and sharing details about the projects themselves. Other platforms simply didn't have the features I wanted or were simply far too expensive to use - madepublic.io was built to address that, and create a place for founders and indiemakers to show off their offerings and help others with transparent, and honest accounts of their products journey.

Around a week ago I posted on /r/sideproject with some great feedback, I've incorporated all of it, added features and tightened things up for beta!

Currently on the platform, you can create an account, a profile and several projects. Your profile can house a bio, a profile image and numerous links to social accounts.

Your projects are where things really get interesting - each project on madepublic.io let's you display information about the product including:

- Motivations - why the project exists and it's goals
- Technical stack (or no-code) tags
- Project toolbox (tools and resources used to build the project)
- A public feed to outline updates and changes, categorised and accompanied by emojis
- Status
- Links to the product itself, Twitter & Facebook
- Real-time updating statistics regarding page impressions, link clicks and entries
- Project logo

In the coming weeks, I'll be adding additional features such as:

- A way for users to request features & submit bug reports to each project
- Project polls to help you decide between different choices
- A public to-do list for each project
- A way to promote your project on the homepage
- A dashboard instead of a marketing landing page
- Lots, lots more

Madepublic is currently 100% free to use - in the future it may introduce a pro plan with additional features but every existing feature today will remain entirely free.

Please use the link below to create your madepublic account and begin your journey with us.
https://madepublic.io/u/register

Remember this is the first launch and a beta so some things might not work entirely as expected.

For any support queries or feedback, please use the widget at the bottom of the page on madepublic.io or reach out right here!

If you're a fan of the platform please spread the word and consider leaving us a testimonial by clicking on the link in the footer!
I refused to ever subscribe to cable television because of commercials, and I suspect I am not the only one. I never subscribed to Hulu, either, for the same reason (if they have an ad-free offering now, I've missed it because I stopped paying attention to them). I also will not use Netflix's ad-driven tier when it comes out.
That's a great way to evaluate someone! Individualized and personal, uses concrete problems, no artificial restrictions.

It's a shame our mass education systems cannot use it. They simply cannot apply such a humane method to hundreds or thousands of students. They are reduced to applying their bullshit test questions because it's the best they can come up with at their scale.
Everything is someone else's fault. I have to live in the expensive part of the expensive city and do fancy things because I'm me, never mind whether I have money, I should have money because it's unfair if I don't.

Someone else has it so I should too, except without any of the background or work.
Again, have you seen crushPNG and similar tools?

To me, a format must offer significant advantages to overtake decades old standards.
Do they though? Or are they all like Cathie Wood.
> Eventually the computational capacity will reach the levels that virtually any app can be replicated inside of it

This only makes sense if blockchains can catch up to traditional methods, because applications in the real world will just continue to get more complex as compute power allows. A defining feature of blockchain computation models is that the same calculation must be run many, many times to verify it. Given that each individual one must run on the hardware that blockchain is competing with direct usage of, there's no plausible story for blockchain to close the gap.

> with a much lower fee for the developers/owners/users and often having full open source code for the components.

See above - how could running the same calculation many, many times, plus the networking costs to communicate, ever compete on price with just running it once? At least one, and more likely all, of the parties must lose in the blockchain model.

> The blockchain development environment is fundamentally less terrible than the centralised database world

Terrible in what way? It can't compute on price or compute power/latency/etc.

> eventually the computational differences between the two will be so low

Again - how? See above.

> that centralised databases will be less desirable just because do the warp in the social contract.

I can't come up with a way to parse this that has any meaning, so I'm not sure what to say about it.

> Databases encourage centralisation of power to developer/owners, with aggressive bent towards monopoly. Blockchain encouraged opennesss and portability. It’s simply a better social contract.

This seems to be your only real argument - some vague social benefit. But how do we get there? See above - blockchains are far, far more expensive to run, so why would anyone migrate real applications to them? Even if this benefit were real, which I doubt, you don't seem to have any mechanism for making it work in the face of the very real costs of doing so.

Regulation seems like the only plausible way, but anti-regulation and anti-government is a pretty explicit goal of most blockchain folks.
Do you have an Adblocker on? I just loaded the page with it on and there were legit results. Turned it off and all the page was Ad listings.

Edit: seems to be intermittent.
I never understood the obsession with Mercator projection in blog posts and the media. Is the US school system actually using world maps with Mercator projection, or what else is the reason that this topic is popping up again and again? The world maps I had been 'exposed to' during school (in the 80s!) used a projection which narrows towards the poles and looks a lot more 'realistic':

Basically like this:

https://www.mapsofindia.com/world-map/world-political-map-20...

...still a lot of distortion of course, but much better than traditional Mercator (which is 500 years old, so give the guy some slack).
I think nobody needs a word map projected to a plane anymore. Local maps do not suffer noticably from distortion, and a world map can be represented as an interactive globe.
> How do you know it's actually worse for remote?

Because I've tried `ssh -X` and in my experience it sucks for any "modern" program (that I've used; I suppose there's bias in my sample).
Yeah, this is the problem. Euthanasia should be an option when treatment has failed, but the treatment should be tried first. This isn't a problem with euthanasia, it's a problem with the medical system. UHC systems remain popular so long as most people are happy--but most people don't need the expensive, ongoing care and thus it can become pretty poor for the patients that actually need it.
Google search is garbage.

For me, it only breaks Brazil, Europe and India. Brazil starts to seem underpopulated for its size, and Europe and India look very small.
I can’t say much about the veracity of her arguments, but there is a journalist named Sarah Chayes that has been investigating the US failures in Afghanistan as, primarily, a reflection of America supporting (and helping to build) a culture of corruption that undermined our primary nation building objectives in that country. She extends this argument to American political and business culture that shares these same qualities of corruption (that we conveniently label as something other than “corruption”).
If really this had been launched to "reduce the fuel usage of German citizens", they wouldn't have also reduced fuel taxes at the same time.

This simply came about because the government had to be seen doing something about the rising energy prices – the Liberals proposed temporarily lowering the gas taxes to score popularity points, but because they're in a coalition government with the Green party, the latter wanted something with a more ecological veneer, so after some horse-trading public transport users got thrown a bone, too.
They use a custom plug system that doesn't use the standard brick shape as contacts.

https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/powered-up shows some examples of the connector and socket.

There's also the discontinued "Powered Functions" connection scheme, which can be seen on this model: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/power-functions-motor-set... . It appears to be post-brick contacts and pre-"powered up" connectors.

There have been many electrical connection schemes over the course of lego's history.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Even if your idea is good, logical and beneficial someone in management will take it as a slight that you had a good idea they didn't. Maybe you will have receptive management who are decent human beings, but in my experience you will be lynched for daring to step outside your lane.

Proceed with extreme caution. Your good feeling vibes about the effort you put in will NEVER be received the way you want. Management will see this as a slight and a threat.
I find myself unsurprised, primarily because so much cancer "fundraising" et al feels very scammy, even (if not especially) the ones that are widely thought to be "legit?"
You can’t threaten to cut power if you’ve already cut power!
It doesn’t stop the artist from re minting the same art, but if he does it will be associated to his wallet, his reputation will be tarnished, an they won’t be able to keep selling their art. The incentives are hugely against it, and unlike even physical art (who stops me from painting the same piece 20 times in secret) the ledger for the existence of the NFT is public.
Magnet is not deprecated. It just got updated about a month ago.
Why is it needed at all though? (I know it's the 'style' to disclose like this). Fred is a VC and he is blogging. It's assumed he has some interest or bias and anyone reading should be skeptical. This is not a news story. He could have a bias or an angle even if he doesn't benefit.

And what does 'large holdings' even mean anyway? Large to Fred what's large to Fred?
It doesn’t. It just allow for a market of digital signatures for digital art. but technical solutions to the problems you’re talking about are conceivable.
Growing up in American schools, I saw this as well. I remember even asking the teacher why the map had multiple cutaways, and her explaining the distortion. I could be convinced that Mercator prevalence is a thing, if someone dug into map sales.
> However, it also makes detecting counterfeits trivial. So trivial that the consumer can detect it using their own devices and freely available wallet software.

Only so long that the authentic source is present. You can detect the authentic BAYC because BAYC has a large presence and everyone knows their wallet ID.

Now let's say I take a photo, and you find a NFT for it on OpenSea. How do you know if it's authentic?
From that link it looks like about half of illnesses are from animal products and half is from produce. Deaths from animal products is higher.

The data is also from 2008. Things have likely changed since US households and food prep has been heavily focused on cleanliness around animal products but nowhere near as much focus is on produce. The 'pre-washed' pre-packaged produce is especially risky.
I use Obsidian for this exact purpose. Anytime I have an idea, I open up Obsidian, hit ctrl+n for a new note, give it a title, tag it with '#idea', and write whatever I think is nessecary to understand it in the future. Since each idea is a separate file, I won't be tempted to worry about ordering. Obsidian also lets me link related ideas together and it's easy to find an idea again in the future and add some notes to it.

Like the author, I've found that writing down my ideas greatly increases the amount/frequency of new ideas I have. I went from having a decent new idea maybe once a week to now having multiple decent new ideas a day. The problem now is focusing on one idea at a time without getting distracted by all the shiny new ideas.
Has Carmack made a time bound prediction on AGI?

He can't ever be "wrong" on AGI if he hasn't even made a disprovable claim about AGI.
Because not attesting is against the network's fork-choice rules. If that censoring majority chooses to avoid said block, because it contains transactions that should be censored, they will perform an illegal re-org around the block. Sure, it won't be "illegal" as a majority of the network follows said re-org.

It's an extremely nuanced topic, and it was extensively discussed in the last core-developer call on Thursday. Every single operator has been warned that going against the fork-choice rules could, and ultimately will, result in social mitigations against spec-deviating behavior.

This could be set of socially executed slashings of validators that don't respect the fork-choice rules, or an honest-minority executed hard-fork that effectively causes misbehaving validators to bleed until they start respecting the protocol's rules.

I could be wrong on multiple counts, especially regarding re-orgs, but this is how I've understood the issue.
I wrote this one back in 2020 before Dall-e and GPT-3 came out but I guess it's more relevant now so decided to share it. It's my first try in writing a short story.
> boolean dunder methods: __and__, __or__

Those are the bitwise operators (a & b, a | b). You can’t override the behavior of the boolean operators (a and b, a or b), you can only define the truthiness of your object with __bool__.
> Slack userids are scoped to the company which is more acceptable for private chats within the business. In contrast, the userids in AOL AIM were global ids and therefore not constrained to the particular company's communication.

I know for sure that AOL[1] and Yahoo [2] had enterprise messaging services available for some time, but I think they had both shut down that option because of lack of uptake before Slack was started or at least before it rose to promenence. I'd guess MSN had that feature too, but I don't specifically remember. Segregated scopes being the only option makes a big difference though, and timing is also important; Yahoo was making cool products and killing them because there wasn't enough traction only for the market to show up later for years before Google made that cool. Startup idea: look through old Yahoo new product press releases for ideas that worked but were before their time; if Google did it years later and abandoned it, then it's been shown that an independent team can build it, so you probably can too.

Sure, that's a terrible idea. It also wasn't implemented, whereas in China, much more draconian measures were.

a searchable log for all communication and knowledge

In my experience, workplace chat apps were either instant message apps with really bad rich text support and no search/file upload support, or document stores like Lotus Notes that were more like internal file storage that you could add comments to.
I see some good suggestions in here. Here's something else to consider:

Imagine the person who's job you've automated decides to quit.

"Hey boss, instead of taking the time and money to replace so-and-so, how about you just increase my pay by (percentage) of what the salary would be? I have a solution to this staffing issue you might be interested in."
Anyone who’s into AI art should read Neuromancer and Count Zero. The latter is more relevant to the topic but will be confusing without the first book.
How much are the annual renewal fees?
Yep, this looks super familiar to me. We also just had globes in our classrooms. Today's students probably use Google maps (or equivalent) which wouldn't have this problem anyways.
Are you running an ad blocker by any chance? I turned off my ad blocker and the ads showed up.
I think the variability of the results everyone is reporting is as damning as the original report of all ads.

Surely there is not variable truth about the topic.

It also probably exposes how G no longer needs to rely on your cooperation being logged in and not having changed the default enabled personalized results setting.
Welcome to this user’s mind. You should read his blog diving into a pillow merchant’s totally legitimate election fraud investigations, his advocating that state legislatures should ignore state constitutions and overturn election results as they see fit, and his comments repeatedly calling abortions infanticide. Unwrap enough layers of libertarian technobabble and you’ll find that the most prominent hn users are just out-of-touch boomers who haven’t realized this community hasn’t had an innovative bone since before Airbnb was incorporated.
Your approach also depends on whether the person whose job you are automating has (or can take on) other duties they can do. If you can present this as “this frees up more of Fred’s time to work on x, y, and z,” this goes down a lot better.

So is also the BSD. But since the later is still around i presume it will take some time until x86 is finally dead.
I like the map, and article. It does challenge you to look at the world differently and realise how little you actually know.

> The longer we use a tool without questioning it, the more of a truth it becomes no matter how wrong it is.

Comments like this do irk me though. Truth is not subjective, you cannot have more or less of it, and whether you use a tool has nothing to do with the underlying reality. Using a tool, in this case a map of the terrain, does not make it more or less truthful. A map can be more accurate, a better representation, a genuine attempt, but it cannot contain more truth. The truth is the terrain itself.

Literally no ads at all. Try posting a screenshot.
That requires either trusting that students haven't edited out the evidence of cheating, which is pointless, or forcing them to use specific, proprietary software to record the video, which is unacceptable.
Can someone seeing ads post screenshots? Maybe to imgur? I am not running an ad blocker, and I don't see any ads, just what look like relevant results.

This. It's quite possible for the quality of life to go away even though there's nothing on the horizon that will kill or even one catastrophic problem. It can be like your mother--a series of things that add up to being alive but not having any quality of life.

I knew someone that chose suicide by dehydration after a fall. They perfectly well knew they had broken their hip and that the healing time for a broken hip (if it even did heal) was longer than their other medical issues would likely give them. Thus they were sentenced to remain lying in bed for the rest of their life. It was only in hindsight that her caretaker realized what had happened--at the time he didn't notice that she was drinking no more than needed to take her pills.

Insects being disgusting could also be a learned response, kids are pretty willing to pick up and touch things they haven't seen before including insects.

However they look to their parents when doing it, or about to do it and are generally quite good at picking up on even subtle facial clues. Since kids can easily be 1 or 2-shot learners about stuff like this it's very difficult to separate innate from learned.
Does the "past" feature allow you to see exactly what the frontpage looked like on a specific date? If no, then that's how it differs.

Not trying to rebut you, just asking because I haven't used "past" much, and I don't remember it being able to do so. I definitely could be wrong, though.
