I think a well set up gimmick is still a gimmick. And I think probably for the first two thirds of the book at least, the reader will have no clue what's coming even though it's being set up.

Anyway I do like the book, but the ending wraps up very abruptly thanks to the employment of this gimmick.

It’s an odd thing but the way I work on projects is I acquire a high quality domain name upfront and then work on whatever the domain name is. The interestingness of the domain focuses me to produce quality work so as to live up to the domain name. I can’t do this with every domain I own but I’ve done this with more then a handful.

The US makes a lot of food:

It's tough to compare a pound of rice to a pound of corn in how useful they are. But by price we're #3, and on a per-capita basis, likely #1.

I know farming isn't "building things", but lets not pretend it doesn't count as producing something. We're also the #3 exporter of oil worldwide.

Other exports:
Mineral fuels including oil: US$239.8 billion (13.7% of total exports)
Machinery including computers: $209.3 billion (11.9%)
Electrical machinery, equipment: $185.4 billion (10.6%)
Vehicles: $122.2 billion (7%)
Optical, technical, medical apparatus: $91.7 billion (5.2%)
Aircraft, spacecraft: $89.1 billion (5.1%)
Gems, precious metals: $82.3 billion (4.7%)
Pharmaceuticals: $78 billion (4.4%)
Plastics, plastic articles: $74.3 billion (4.2%)
Organic chemicals: $42.9 billion (2.4%)
Yes, good catch! I actually wrote the fold predicate thinking of fold left, hence the naming, but as the same predicate can simulate both fold left and right, for the purposes of the blog post, I figured I could get away without renaming the variables.
This is also true. I get into arguments all the time with people who start by saying "Oh it's easy" and then after I prove that it's hard, say "I don't care that it's hard for other people". It's just a sort of blindness for your internal shortcutting of "I don't care that it's hard for others, it's easy for me" to "It's easy to everyone that matters" to "It's easy for everyone".

Westerners don't seem to realise how much damage shit like Guantanamo bay have done to the image of US and to the idea of International law.

It indicates that ther is no such thing as justice, only rule of the strong.

These failures to live up to the standards we set is the first thing out of the mouth of any 'patriotic' Russian when you point out the cruelty of war in Ukraine.

It is big reason why in countries like India do not trust Europe and the West, and did not go along with recent sanctions

It feels vaguely on topic for me to speak about something that happened to me regarding an open source project I made.

It was the one time that a project of mine generated a bit of buzz on HN. But I hadn’t posted it myself, someone else did. But they posted a link to a fork, which no changes of their own, claiming that someone else had posted it. The fork got 30 ish stars and follows, and nobody in the HN thread pointed out that they were starring a fork with no changes.

This really sucked, since I would have liked to develop an open source project that had users, but this was my project and now I had to negotiate with some other guy I didn’t know who had probably just taken the credit for my work. It didn’t work out.

Anyone else had this happen to them? What’s a constructive way to deal with that?
I mean I didn't care about X11 until I used Wayland and realized that I didn't just have to deal with screen tearing.

To get screen sharing to work on most Wayland systems, you do need Pipewire. So I learned enough to set it up. And then I learned enough to tune it for my audio recording use cases. Which wasn't actually that much work.
Yeah we need Trigger Warnings on any ML repo that uses Python. The trauma that comes from dealing with Python dependency management is really hurtful and non-inclusive.

>At this point, anyone still be held has been proven to be directly or indirectly guilty

Proven you say? So much proof that they continue to be held without even having been charged (never mind tried and convicted on so much supposed clear evidence) for crimes years after their detention.

elementary school level basic rules of justice: If you have evidence, you use it to bring forth charges quickly, otherwise, shut up and release whoever you're holding. The U.S government certainly doesn't lack the resources to just proceed with a trial.
NASA's future would be much brighter if its programs had a reasonable chance of leading to something worthwhile. Nothing based on SLS will ever be worthwhile.
If you subscribe to the theory that SLS is impossible to cancel due to congressional politics, then SLS continuing to fail means NASA funding is secured indefinitely.

Seems implausible to me. If SLS fails this year, you can forget about the second launch, meant to be a crewed launch, in 2024. And by that time I think Starship will be flying. The absurdity of keeping SLS going will become too great even for Congress to tolerate.
> Why are the monitor vendors at fault when the cables have the poor shielding?

Because part of hardware engineering is making devices that function even in poor environments, and that tolerate foreseeable misuse. (This is a major part of medical device development, for example.) Cable shielding is always iffy on consumer-grade cables. If other vendors can produce monitors that tolerate its absence, because that seems to be reasonably common!, then if you can't, your products will be seen as inferior. Exactly as is happening here.
I'm not sure that this isn't understanding causality the wrong way round. If the military could've run those supply lines with EVs, they really might've done so -- but the batteries were just not up to it. This situation is improving, but consider that about 400km is the maximum range of many common electric vehicles. About 640km is quite long distance for electric vehicles, quoted for electric pickups, but that is about parity with the lowest number on this recent listing of ranges for common gasoline pickup trucks:

https://news.pickuptrucks.com/2015/07/how-far-can-you-drive-...

The longest range quoted is more than 1250km!

For non-logistics use cases, it's also notable that one thing you can do with gas vehicles that you can not readily do with electric vehicles is extend the range by carrying gas in the vehicle.

An electric vehicle with a gas generator might offer a good compromise, since you'd maintain the low maintenance and simplicity of the electric drive system and the ability to run off of mains power in most situations while being able to extend the range if needed.
Plenty of cruelty has been perpetrated by rich, Western countries too, the Holocaust for example. What’s your point?

Also, whether a country is a superpower has no obvious connection to whether it commits human rights violations.

Are you allowed to grab your AR15 and shoot foreign tourists? Can you keep them as slaves?

Nobody would ever travel or do business in a country where they have no rights, you'd have as many foreign PHD students as Somalia.

"Hey, I am the original author of this. AMA."
> also have never faced the challenges of moderation at million people scale. So, it kind of cuts both ways

Not really, given that I can see the billions in cash on hand of these social media companies, which they could use to hire real people instead of intentionally neglecting customer service because it isn't a driver of profits, and instead choosing to dump these costs on the taxpayer of the countries that have to clean up the mess via the legal system. Negligence or even incompetence is not a valid excuse for actively facilitating a spectrum of behaviors ranging from harassment (this case) to fomenting populism (US elections) to outright murder (Myanmar).
Renewable sources, yes. But not storage, and it’s that base load where nuclear can help.
Markets solve problems efficiently, but not equitably. In the case of water, an equitable solution is a moral prerogative, no?
American exceptionalism goes both ways. Yes, people who see the US as uniquely moral and good are wrong. So are people who see the US as uniquely bad. It’s somewhat better than most countries in the world, and somewhat worse than some others, especially Western and Northern Europe, i.e. the most developed part of the world.

If it’s not fair to compare the US to Yemen, then it’s not fair to compare it to Norway either. It simply is what it is.

It seems pretty well-agreed that the HN moderation works because of dedicated human moderators and community guidelines etc.

I think spaces that effectively moderate AI art content will be successful (or not) based on these same factors.

It won't depend on some brittle technology for predicting if something is harmful or NSFW. (Which, incidentally, people will use to optimize/find NSFW content specifically, as they already do with Stable Diffusion).
I'm very impressed, the first sentence I tried was something like "a half submerged archimedes screw ship plowing through sea ice". It had some pretty good ideas of what it might look like.

My only gripe is the usual one in the AI field: very sloppy nomenclature.

Reading about diffusion models I first expected a novel parametrized family of functions, otherwise known as an "architecture".

Instead it seems more like a training method, so a nomenclature of "diffusion training" would seem more apt.
> Then you have the problem that the player will himself be off

Maybe at first, but it takes all of two milliseconds to recognize "oh wow, I'm sharp/flat, I should move my hand a smidge further/closer". With more practice comes better muscle memory and better accuracy. Even high schoolers in marching bands can learn how to play a trombone in tune; a professional musician should have no trouble with that at all.

There certain youtuber voices that I really appreciate. Markiplier, Game Theory, Internet Historian, I did a thing, SmallAnt, and Summoning Salt are my favorite content creators recently. I noticed I like long form content essays a lot and educational/analysis type content has a smoothness in tone I appreciate.

Sometimes layering it with rain helps too.

I look for content that seems interesting in the moment but doesn't necessarily make me feel like I have to rewind if I miss anything. It's the best to just leave on in the background.

The youtube algorithm has been pushing 2+ hour iceberg streams to me recently as well.

Speedruns and Summoning Salt videos are classics I go to when I can't find anything specific and don't want to go searching. The Games Done Quick format is amazing. 100% speedruns are a solid category. I rarely know the game, so it hits that perfect place of interesting when I start and don't care about finishing and can leave on in the background for days without worrying about anything too scary or serious. I'm sure there are games with startling audio or video, but Games Done Quick is an event where they marathon different people speedrunning different games back to back on twitch and all of the donation money goes to charity. This summer they raised over 3 million dollars for charity. Additionally, I can safely assume the streams are going to be kid friendly so I know there's nothing too crazy that can happen. I don't personally care if speedrunners are family friendly or not, but family friendly content is generally smoother in tone which is helpful for falling asleep. SmallAnt focuses heavily on Nintendo games and from what I understand Nintendo has fairly strict rules for what's allowed by content creators. I don't agree with it from a content moderation standpoint, but at the same time, it makes content much more easily searchable and predictable when I need something neutral for sleep. Glitch runs and TAS (tool assisted speedruns) are cool too because they incorporate bots and technical exploits like memory overflow and race condition logic errors into breaking game logic in order to complete a speedrun fast. Pokemon yellow is crazy, it has been brought down to 1 minute 18second for the entire game.

I do pay for youtube premium so I don't have to worry about ads. Ads can be disruptive and wake me up. Most youtubers have a playlist of their streams which is a nice set and forget so I don't wake up to weird recommendations.
> the people held at Guantanamo are responsible for killing humans via cowardly terrorists attacks, either indirectly or directly

Surely if there’s compelling evidence that this is true, we can put it in front of a judge and jury and have them sentenced properly.
> Isn’t this the story of every post 2000 tech company? The prime examples being Google and Meta.

Not really...

Google: "We built a search engine, and everyone who saw it immediately loved it. Then we sold ads and got rich."

So here's the thing. It takes work and effort to get attention.

"if you build it, they will come". Never has one cliche been so exactly wrong.

Programmers, myself included, believe(d) that the code is the product. That the code will speak for itself. That being "better" (for some definition of better) is enough. If I build it, they will come.

The truth though, the code is about 10% of the effort to make a successful product. It is much more work, and frankly harder work, to to the marketing to get the product in front of the customer. It is then much more work to turn that into a sale (if your work is commercial.)

For decades I've heard programmers lament that they do all the hard work, they deserve the lion's share, all those guys do is sell it.

So here's the thing. Your code does not just "get attention". You earn that by investing time, and money but mostly time, in getting that attention.

That means going to where your target market is. Showing them you can add value to the group (I spent a lot of time answering unrelated questions.) showing how your offering can add value to the group. You do not "get" attention, you have to _earn_ it.

So, if you want your product to get more attention, then by extension you need to personally get more attention. You need to find your target group, be useful, be helpful, engage with them, built trust.

So you've made a tool for people without a smart-phone. OK, not a market I would have chosen[1], but that's not relevant. The thing you need to figure out is how to reach those people. Since they are not online, you will need to reach them offline. You need to go to where they are, not expect them to find you.

[1] choosing a market first, one you have a strategy to reach, then making a product is usually better than the other way around. Not least because joining a community, and adding value there for s while, before making a product, builds trust. It also helps you build a product they will find useful, not just something you randomly thought of.

This is life; through failure we learn more, through persistence we achieve.
Solution is an arms race, by keeping your algorithmic improvements hidden.

Total strawman. Nobody is saying Twitter should act as a shield. They're saying Twitter shouldn't actively facilitate that outcome by providing a platform for targeted harassment and lies.

Nobody wanted Facebook to stop a genocide in Myanmar. They just wanted Facebook to not serve the role of actively encourage that outcome.
I read this book regarding Dehomag and quiet control of it through Switzerland by IBM corporate offices in Armonk, NY.

SwiftUI can be ridiculously fast – closer to a 3D framework than a typical 2D windowing framework – because it can reduce to a set of uninterrupted draw calls.

Rendering is not why SwiftUI can be slow.

If you don't know what you're doing, it's possible for SwiftUI to think your new view is unrelated to the old view and everything needs deallocation and reallocation.
The US is the one with the rights. They make it illegal to do that, but they don’t have to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insular_Cases

> The preliminary answer came from a series of Supreme Court rulings, now known as the Insular Cases, which responded to the question of how American constitutional rights apply to those in United States territories. The Supreme Court held that full constitutional protection of rights does not automatically (or ex proprio vigore—i.e., of its own force) extend to all places under American control. This meant that inhabitants of unincorporated territories such as Puerto Rico—"even if they are U.S. citizens"—may lack some constitutional rights (e.g., the right to remain part of the United States in case of de-annexation)[2] because they were not part of the United States.

Never overturned.

That is a very unfair comparison. You are giving numbers for Starship going to NRHO, then landing the whole upper stage on the moon, then returning it to NRHO. That is a completely different ballpark to SLS's ‘dump a capsule in a lunar flyby which itself can't even get to LLO’.

And if the SLS/Orion architecture wasn't so underperforming, Starship could waste less energy making up for it.
No the strategy is associate drugs with minorities to make being a minority illegal.

Ehrlichman told Baum. "We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
