Background: Masters in control theory and signal processing, working in the auto industry for the last 6 years, first on low level powertrain software then the last year or so on LIDAR/computer vision for autonomous vehicles. I've done the most work in C, but I'm now getting up to speed on python and the computer vision/numpy/data processing pipeline stack there for data quality/perception work.

Side interests include machining, 3D printing, embedded system development and furniture making.
Take a street like melrose ave. It's filled with pretty well leased, single story commercial real estate abutting low rise apartments and homes. Walkable? Sure, if you manage to snag one of the limited available leases in a 15 mins walk. Replace those commercial parcels on melrose with 5 over 1s, and there is no net loss here. The same commercial square footage is available, sometimes more if the the building extends further into the lot versus if the old building had a small surface parking lot in the rear, sometimes a lot more if more than 1 story is set to be commercial space. Not to mention the apartment stock swells up, supporting a larger customer base for these businesses when these apartments are inevitably leased out before long.

NIMBYs in this city bemoaned old Amoeba records loosing its "historic" low rise commercial building. But Amoeba just moved into one of these mixed used developments a few blocks away closer to the metro station, got more square footage out of the deal, and sold the old property for a lot of money. The city changes and it isn't a bad thing, in fact its typically a good thing that it changes as this keeps rents closer to the actual wages seen.

"Scientists used a technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation

People performed this process for 20 minutes each day on four days, and we then tested their ability to memorize and recall words one month after, without the electrical energy

participants who started out with the lowest cognitive performance were the ones who benefited the most from brain stimulation"
Of course these things are possible only in Europe ...

Problem is, there’s been an active war against critical thought across multiple fronts for a while now, which includes campaigns in social and traditional media and attacks on the education system. Youth and unwitting adults alike are being trained to stay angry and act on impulse rather than address situations as thoughtful, well-rounded members of society would.

I won’t claim to have a solution, but there are clearly severe problems afoot and ceasing all filtering alone isn’t going to result in an outcome any better than systematic censoring will.

Imagine how awful that would be.

And that makes me wonder. Maybe that would be too harsh a sentence then. Do we want to basically "end" someone's life at an insane cost to the tax payer for something with no impact on others other than financial? I have no answer, it just feels somewhat suboptimal to me.
You are, that is a fantastic way to look at it!
I wish people would do more than read the name of that paradox.

>In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

That people whose philosophy can be summed up as "call everything fascist and punch it" are using Popper as a way to cover their innate totalitarianism is beyond parody.
SEEKING WORK | Romania | Remote

I'm a Machine Learning consultant, helping companies get started with ML & AI.
I can guide you through problem definition (which is often quite tricky), data collection, data annotation, project estimation, initial model development and developing an MLOps infrastructure. I can help you get started with the first models so you can see how well ML will work for you.

Recent projects include building the first models for a recruitment startup, building a proof of concept for a startup to analyze the content produced by thought leaders in the ESG domain, speeding up the data annotation process using a model-in-the-loop approach for a diversity startup, helping a startup reduce the fraudulent usage of their service.

In the past I've worked at Google and then at some startups, so I have experience working with companies of all sizes and stages.

Markets are currently broken. People are looking at low LCOE for gas, wind, and solar without it having any capability to consider factors like greenhouse gas emissions (for gas), cost of capacity overbuilds and storage needed for intermittency at scale (for wind/solar), increased transmission lines (for dispersed sources, again wind/solar).

Yet everyone just says "ok nuclear is the most expensive and always will be no matter what"

Add in a carbon fee and a low-carbon capacity market and all of a sudden nuclear would be the cheapest.

Markets are human constructs that are currently woefully messed up and leading us in dangerous directions.

> less interpreting/serialization/deserialization/copying/... = higher performance

Unfortunately for many database workloads you are overestimating the relative cost of this factor.

> even if the SQLite query engine is slightly less efficient than PostgreSQL

And this is absurd - the postgresql query engine isn't just "slightly" more efficient. It is tremendously more sophisticated. People using a SQL datastore as a glorified key-value store are not going to notice - which seems to be a large percentage of the sqlite install base.
It's not really a fair comparison.
Except that it does. Life is nuanced. OP is trying to make a point based on a couple of headlines, but the actual content of the articles explain things a bit more clearly and nuanced, and are a lot less "THE SKY IS FALLING!", than OP seems to be insinuating they are based on their titles alone.
Being incompetent is far less illegal than covering up your incompetence with fraud.

If you don't cover up the first stolen funds, people will have a sense of the risk you pose and there will be less opportunity for future stolen funds because your customers will leave or beat you with a stick until your security improves.

You can lazy-load a lot more than images. In my example, yes I wouldn't use js for it, but it's irrelevant to the point I was making. My read of GGP is that "lazy loading is useless because you shouldn't have so much content that it's needed, ever", which is a bad take.
This. I don't think you can just assume that the Earth based industry supporting industrizing the moon would be less impactful than sea floor mining.
I'm sorry, but my feelings are more important than your feelings, so your free speech matters less than mine.

Yes, I'm assuming it's the f-word.

Swear words are almost never totally redacted in common usage, the first consonant is maintained so you know which one.

By totally redacting the swear words, we're left to assume the worst -- maybe it was the n-word?

But if it were, you can be sure that would have been reported. The fact that it wasn't means it's almost certainly just the f-word.

But that those redacting it probably did so intentionally to try to make it look worse. Which is in bad faith.

> it's difficult to determine where to set the regulatory "dial."

I think about this a lot and have come to this thought: you - specifically - won't get to set the dial at all.

Too many political philosophies completely ignore the other for the sake of a perfect solution. This framing of a knob to dial extended imagines a whole switchboard of regulations that can be tuned or turned off. The Democracy video games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_(video_game)) use this metaphor as their core game mechanic.

But the reality is that the Other(s) gets to act during and in response to your actions.

All this is to say that if politics is setting a knob on a control panel with a precise tuning in mind, reality is an annoying rodent running behind the panel and swapping wires with reckless abandon.
naive means being surprised by something negative that happened to you. To prepare your children for the world means making sure they're aware of possibilities.

OTOH, being prepared is not the same as being fearful.

I've seen posts by women describing how they were _fearful_ of men until they were 18-20 and realized most men aren't a razors edge away from raping them. And their relationship with men completely changed.

That doesn't mean women should be ignorant of the possibility, but it does mean they shouldn't be _fearful_. Rather they should learn to recognize situations where the possibility is higher and avoid them.

Years ago I read a story about 3 young women who were paid to entertain some men in a boat that sat in international waters. At some point they were asked for sex, refused, got raped, then dropped off at the airport without the money they were promised.

In a perfect world things like this would never happen. But our world isn't perfect and there's a certain level of naivete in the actions of those young women, they could have avoided all of that by recognizing the danger and refusing.

You can do this directly in the browser* without JS—in exactly the way shown by the example I just gave: by using a browser that is capable of editing and sharing docs (directly).

* If someone really wanted to be a stickler, they could point out that that you've set up Google Docs to fail your own rubric, since it involves indirect editing. The browser itself has no direct role in the editing process. It only manages to do so by fetching and executing the minified bundle on the Docs site.
There are tons of posts by minority authors on HN, including their work and their successes.

Thank you! Totally.
When a developer is playing around with the demo we safely track and identify errors that occur in their environment and we let API companies reproduce that in their end. Aside from that, we provide customer journey visualization so API companies can see what steps the customer took and what made them do X rather than Y. The user also has the ability to provide immediate feedback if they are stuck.

We also track aggregate metrics, like engagement time, conversion rate, etc.
Because the question is a really simple one. Is intolerance automatically a bad thing? There is a reason stereotypes exist ( statistically, they tend to pan out ). They do not operate in a vacuum. They are effectively a useful heuristic that just happens to sometimes misfire. The issues tend to start when that heuristic is institutionalized, but as a day to day operator it tends to work.

Second part is more personal, would I be willing to sacrifice my kids safety in the name of tolerance? I know how I answer that question. I am all but certain most people answer it the same way.

To put it simply, as values come: kids > tolerance.
Similar erroneous assumptions strip the dot from my gmail address in a mistaken belief that I will get it. All my non-dotted email goes direct to spam via a filter I wrote, because multiple-nines of spam strip the dot.

I've only had a single (government) organization refuse to leave the dot in my address, so I had to special case them.
> It's not put there explicitly but the wealth of knowledge they possess and the perfect lighting and shadowing and material reflections compared to the tiny amount of weights strongly suggest they have proper representations

I don’t think they do, but I can’t prove it, either way.

> (just like humans by the way).

Oh, I don’t think humans have it either (mostly), since humans don’t have 3D vision; humans have the equivalent of wiggle stereoscopy¹, which gives some hints of depth, and humans have the additional advantage of the time dimension. People do have some intellectual capacity to reason about 3-dimensional shapes, and some people can even rotate things in their heads with ease. Blind people might have it too, since their concept of the world was not created by this pseudo-3D visual input. But mostly, people don’t think in 3D.

I think we can see this by looking at drawings by children. Child drawings are dominated by the concepts important to children: Faces, hands, etc. Concepts, not actual images. And it’s all in 2D, as was the majority of art for much of history.

> For example, say you wanted a checkbox, but you wanted to use a custom color instead of the browser default. Well, tough luck. From HTML you'll have to put the checkbox inside a label, add an empty span next to it, and from CSS make the checkbox invisible and then get creative with drawing some boxes that look like a checkbox [0] (or, more realistically, load some custom graphics). So, if you're doing all of this effort anyway, why go through the effort of using the HTML input checkbox at all?

What the fuck? Just use the actual goddamn checkbox. You can set colors with CSS, but also, it will work in exactly the same way as all the other checkboxes on the user's system. It will respond to keyboard and other input shortcuts the same way as all the other checkboxes they use. It will work with any accessibility devices the user has in the same way as all the other checkboxes they use.

Don't reinvent standard controls just because they're not "customizable" enough. Function is more important than form, and the standard control has a lot more function than you're probably aware of. Also, the user already knows how the one on their system works, because they've already used one hundreds of times.

And the same goes even more so for controls which are more complex than the checkbox. Which is, uh... checks notes... all of them.

Just stop.
Incorrect. Education in Portugal was one of the worst in Europe.

Portugal is the only country in the OECD that has consistently risen in PISA scores since their inception in 2000.

Portugal was bottom of the table in 2000, and now it's at middle. Not the best, but not the worst either.

I don't think I fully agree with this. I think most people are quite bad at dating, I know I was. 1-2 per year for me would mean too much pressure. If I'm taking nothing else from using dating apps for the last 10 years, it's that I feel calm and have a good handle on my feelings in those situations, when good people come along I have a much better shot with them now. Obviously 2 good dates > loads of average ones, but the average ones aren't pointless either.

Same here. Perhaps your happiness is due to Kagi being (right now anyway) an entity whose incentives line up with what's best for its end-users?

This could definitely change, but today, it looks like a genuine attempt to break out of the terrible local maximum (ad-supported Internet) we're stuck in.
I understand you believe there's a compelling case for placing your hand over my mouth. I'm sure you earnestly believe your case, and think placing your hand over my mouth is the moral, right, and just thing to do.

I'd argue that not all brains are good at math but that they can be trained to be good at math.

That's the problem we treat math like it is some innate talent, it's not it just requires certain ways and forms of thinking. Example: I was decent at math in HS, I didn't do very well because I didn't like doing the homework and quite frankly most people good at math aren't going to end up being public school teachers, so the explanations were always lacking.

Well I went on learning programming on my own got a job as an SWE, then a couple of years later ran into a situation where I had to learn some new math. It was world's easier this time, because of my work with programming it all jelled immediately and suddenly clicked it all became very logical. I don't believe I suddenly became better at math, but rather I had developed certain thought patterns and ways of thinking that could be applied to mathematics.

The only difference I see is that the virtual speech zones were private in the first place, rather than initially public squares and then privatized. I'm not sure if the path we took to get there is that relevant, though.
My dog divides the food in her dish cleanly in half, eating one half now and saving the other half for later. I read somewhere that dogs can count up to about four, so taking half of something is within their bailiwick.

I suspect that brains, human and otherwise, are better at math than we usually give them credit for.
Sure, I read the article. If he had used a racial slur, most media would report it something like "used the 'n-word'". They did not, and thus I can only guess he did not (or perhaps the version the media got was redacted? I can't imagine why a court would redact a bad word, racial slur or not...)

This is also the grand kid of the business owners. There can be significant differences across generations of families in attitudes.

If you steal a billion dollars from a whole bunch of middle class folks, you are, in aggregate "ending" a whole lot of life in small amounts distributed across many people.
You're reading my mind. Totally. I used to work in CX and "Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on their part" was like a mantra, internally. We were still very compassionate to customers who found themselves in such situations, but as a support person it helps one keep oneself from getting sucked into the emergency mindset.
Or BestBuy that doesn't have the marketplace problem.
I think a lot of healthy life choices stem from proper risk management and cost-benefit analysis, which humans can do on their own fairly well for normal life tasks.

For instance, there's a non-zero chance you could lose your life every time you get into a car. However, almost everybody still hops into cars because the chance of a life-altering accident (if the driver not drinking and/or driving like a maniac) is relatively low and the benefits to cars in your life are high.

Where I think this ability for normal people to make sensible choices gets warped is when the media's business model of driving emotional and catchy stories interferes with peoples' actual perceptions of risk. For example, there are healthy young people still utterly scared to death of Covid because their preferred media tells them to be afraid. You can apply this to almost any hot button issue that the media has adopted and find people who have had their sense of the actual risk warped.
