Eh? I always cut my own bread(the sliced bread only really appeared here few years ago, and it's a faff because you have to ask at the bakery for them to cut it for you) and I can't imagine how you could smush it. Is that the weird American toast bread? An actual loaf of bread(like this:

definitely doesn't smoosh when cut.

> Sometime around the 90s, most advertising gradually shifted to emotional manipulation...

Yup.

> ... which is empirically more effective at scale.

I don't think that's the issue. Back in the 80s, stuff came out regularly that was significantly better than the predecessor (if there was one). Emotional manipulation took over when new versions no longer had significant technical advantages over existing competitors.
Having good thumbnails and tiles is just marketing. If you want to sell or get the word out about what you are offering it helps to have a good marketing effort. Yes, creating the material is a lot of work, but that doesn't mean that marketing is something that doesn't need hard work.
> Nitrogen molecules are larger.

That's what they told me at the dealership too. I asked "larger than what? Air is a mixture that's already 78% nitrogen." Didn't get an answer.

As far as the lower moisture content, couldn't they pass the air through an air dryer before filling the tire if it was that much of an issue? Regardless, the outside of the tires & wheels are exposed to far more corrosive materials.
The article alludes to this, but families were larger and bread was eaten with just about every meal.
We wouldn't tolerate a business advertising "up to 90% off" if there doesn't exist at least one item that is 90% off. Businesses can't point to an item that is 30% off and claim that 30% off is a subset of 90% off.
Just disable Javascript. It's more of a pay hedge than a pay wall.
Can we please now have a UI that doesn't cover the content when paused.
It's hard for me to imagine anyone with internet access not knowing why transistors are important.
TL;DR - People started using their mobile devices not just for apps, and not just to view static pages, but to spend money. They started expecting websites to behave like apps started spending money on websites that behaved like apps.

We have frameworks instead of static HTML because it is really complicated to make a website behave like an app and it takes a LOT of javascript. We started out with jQuery ajax calls and media queries. We moved on to AngularJS to start swapping content in the page in larger chunks and maintain state and code better. We've now moved most/all of the site functionality into Javascript via React to better manage caching and state of the application for the best performance and more manageable code that leverages APIs for most of its data and content.
Here is how I explain it.

Transistors use a small current to control a larger current. You can think of this as one person tapping another on the shoulder of another person. But what good is that? Not much, on its own.

It is only possible to use this property to store data because you can build a circuit called a flip flop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics) that enables 2 pulses of current to translate into 1 pulse of current.

That may not seem like much, but it enables everything happening in modern digital technology.

So how does it work?

Let's say you have 5 people in front of you, in a line. Everyone in line is directed to tap once on the next person for every 2 taps on their shoulder. So, for you, you feel 2 taps, and then you tap once. This is what a flip flop does.

Now, you get an additional instruction. When you are tapping with your left hand, you raise your right hand and when you are not tapping with your left hand, you lower your right hand.

Now, for every tap of the first person, the next person taps half as often, and the next person in line taps half as often, etc.

If everyone keeps time, looking at the group of people, you will see raised arms and lowered arms. The raised arms are 1s and the people without raised arms are 0s. Now you are counting in binary.

In a digital clock, this process is used to translate a quartz crystal's pulses into counting seconds and time. The same process can also be used to store numbers. For example, let's say I have 25 flip flops in series. Now, I can store a number as large as 2^25 in memory.
...Or maybe facebook dating is a little trite and shouldn't even be a thing?

You get decisions like this after profiling use cases - targeting by race might be vector for targeting minorities for hate crimes.

Community/social sites (in my opinion) should not double as dating sites - for safety reasons.

The reason we can't have nice things is because of bad actors: all design needs to account for bad actors.

Assholes ruin design: Don't shoot the messenger - or stop taking their calls when your own team tell you they exist.
> There is no demand for VR concerts, there is perhaps some demand for concerts in already-populated online spaces.

Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, and the Foo Fighters are all releasing VR concerts this year.

My wife, who has never played Fortnite, attended several VR concerts over the past few years.

Given how popular listening to music is on services like Youtube, I believe it is short-sighted to fail to see the appeal of an immersive 3D-audio VR experience for music fans.

From the paper:

“ To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to demonstrate deep learning data-driven 3D photorealistic reconstruction without system calibration and initializations, and we are the first to demonstrate imaging objects behind obstacles using lensless imagers.”

That’s their actual claim, worth examining.

Also AFAICT their camera has no large traditional lens at all, whereas previous work — ie lytro — put a traditional lens in front of their micro lens array.
The middle ground I've seen is to concede a bit to the clickbaters and make a few clickbait videos that talk about what you do and what's available in the other videos.
Ask HN: How does direct carrier billing work and who are the biggest vendors?
I am building an SMS service and I have been planning to use Stripe since Stripe is one of the most flexible and easy to use developer platforms in modern history.

However, I think I owe it to myself to try to simplify my service's onboarding to premium plans by investigating direct carrier billing.

Does anyone know who are the large players here? Is it flexible to integrate with them? Does it cost a lot of money for the onboarding, or is it plug and play?

Thanks,
I appreciate any answers you can provide!
Richard Feynman is the best teacher we know (explaining electricity): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYg6jzotiAc

He also explains seeing, heat, electro magnetism, elasticity and mirrors among other things.

His academic lectures are just as good but too long and hard for laymen to follow.

- Every time I switch on an electrical device I hear Feynman say 'Zzzzinggg' and I see the copper bars jiggling across town.

- Every time I see a cup of hot liquid I hear Feynman say "jiggling atoms"

- Watch his hands and fingers telling the more accurate science story, simulating the electrons and atoms.

- I would say that this the most important video to see for any human being on the planet. De second most important thing would be half of Alan Kay's lectures https://youtu.be/FvmTSpJU-Xc?t=2067

Great video's to watch with your kids! (from 3-4 years and older).
Good point. I was thinking of the task of deleting all of a user's data upon request.
I can help with review and defense of it, too.
> Right. That problem exists because they drew back their own fossil fuel production to switch to renewables which are not providing the commensurate energy required, forcing them to go to outside providers.

The North Sea was by far their biggest field for oil and gas and it is in sharp decline despite continued exploration. Even Norway is still exploring. The other big producer was the Netherlands, they closed their gas field because of earthquakes.

> Now do the factories to produce the components in the renewables, the trucks to ship the components, the equipment to install the components, the trucks to get the workers to maintain the components, etc. Batteries? You need massive trucks that can only run on diesel to mine the metals necessary to make them work.

As I said, dozens of life cycle analysis studies take all of this into account and come to the conclusion of a more than 10x advantage.
Many (most?) houses in the north/north-east do not have ducts. It's very rare for me personally to come across central air in the NY area.
Hmm, you could use that argument to dissuade all of scientific research. Science is zero sum, if we devote resources to it then you are taking them from someone else!

But at the end of the day we all know there are significant potential benefits to this type of testing. Not only that, more demand can increase jobs & labs in the first place.

Just because the system is dysfunctional is not a good argument for ceasing progress.

If you're like me and first got hung up on the difference between a parallel curve and a translation of the curve, the wikipedia article (literally the first link) explains it.

My understanding is that a parallel curve is what you get if you dilate the curve with a circle, ie the curve along the furthest extent of the dilation (see the picture in the wikipedia article) which evidently is not the same as just translating the curve down.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_curve
I didn't know Gallup did such a thorough job surveying other countries. I'd love to hear more about the methodology--I imagine it's much harder to gather an unbiased sample in a country like Afghanistan.
Hi Chris,

OP here. Just wanted to say thanks a million for taking he time and sharing your insightful reply. I don't have any original/interesting points to make, so I'll let the other commenters follow-up.
> Does anybody ever actually visit the "Community" tab of a channel?

Channels have community tabs?
Yeah I bought during the covid rush. Every vehicle I wanted was sold the next day after it listed. Finally I just found one I wanted, brought a certified check to the dealership for the exact asking price, and paid them on the spot It was the only way I could get anything at all. Even had one dealership refuse my check ready to hand over because "some other guy was already on the way to look at it."

Dealership literally gave no fucks, if you didn't buy it someone else would hours later. If you brought the full amount in cash you'd probably barely get a 'meh' out of a salesman. They could literally sleep all day, wait for a bundle of cash on their lap and wake up at the end of the day with big commission, and still make out like a bandit.

Ask HN: The “coreaudiod” process uses waaay too much resources on macOS. why TF?
hey all,
so this drives me nuts really.
on a brand new M1 machine I am using the Spotify desktop app. it consumes around 2.6% of the CPU (with some minor fluctuations). the coreaudiod process though, uses 13.6% of the CPU (with some minor fluctuations).
does anybody have an idea why the audio process uses so much resources?
(on my previous machine - Macbook Pro 2015 - that was definitely not the case)
> I prefer working with my own code...
Every programmer prefers to work with their own code. This is the biggest dilemma, it boils down to a lot of "make/buy" decisions. Rule of thumb after 20+ years of experience : do not reinvent frameworks. The framework you are thinking of already exists, and, even when not perfect, solves a lot of problems you hadn't even thought of.
Yeah, for Slack/Discord-like purposes, it's entirely reasonable I think. There are of course low-hanging fruit worth grabbing, but "tons of metadata all the time" is absolutely the normal expectation for a system like that. By being federated, Matrix is already noticeably better in most ways.

Anything better is achieved through massive effort and often novel research. Which is wonderful when it happens, but it's not reasonable to point to existing systems and say "how dare you [not do that thing nobody knows how to do yet / nobody has demonstrated scales to real-world use]".
Would you consider Daniel Naroditsky’s educational content to be clickbait? If not, that might be a decent middle ground to target.
Today's marketing is much more targeted and dark pattern driven.

There was an earnestness to many ads back then. Either "native" style ads, or price lists -- given researching anything was much more difficult without internet, magazines and print brochures were all you had. Ads were critical.

> Google needs to fight so hard to maintain competitive dominance

These are words you're putting in their mouths.

> pay billions of dollars just to keep its market position.

This is what they're doing. It's not a desperate fight, it's a bribe of what is a trivial amount for Google. It's a network of patronage run by a monopolist, not desperate street-fighting bribes, or whatever it is that the DOJ can't have both ways.

Imagine a similar scenario where a local businessman is paying off local politicians and judges. Would you actually make the argument that the fact that the businessman is paying everyone off shows that his position is so precarious that he can't possibly be running the town? Monopolistic behavior as evidence against monopoly?
All it needs to do is make that awful dot matrix sound.
They use saline because it goes directly into your blood stream. If they used pure water, the osmotic pressure would force water into your cells, causing them to burst (hypotonic).

You can drink pure water because it "becomes" saline as it mixes with the food in your stomach.

Even unfiltered tap water doesn't have very many ions compared to blood or saline solution. Most of your ions come from your food.

That's a pretty big assumption that offering this service would not result in these users also spending more time on other, non-education related content on YouTube that is monetized. There are also other ways to monetize the product.

I think that two things can both be true: creators should be paid for their work, commensurate with the value they provide, and learning should be free (or of negligible cost) to the person doing the learning. There are exceptions to the latter when there isn't a platform involved, like personalized tutoring or coaching, but in general.

YouTube can achieve both of those goals, and advertising is not the only solution. What bothers me most about this announcement is that they aren't doing anything _new_. This is basically a carbon copy of Udemy's value prop, leveraged by YT's existing massive scale. Other than the videos being hosted on YouTube, it doesn't do anything that other platforms haven't already been doing for years.
I think video games, TV, rock’n’roll music and the bicycle are responsible.
>Right now I mostly have to go to Udemy et al for that sort of thing.

So pretty much, with launching a model where viewers might pay, Youtube is launching a Udemy competitor, no?
I generally hate treating anyone like a bad person but I figured out about 15 years ago that car dealers are only in it to extract as much money out of you as possible and there's no need to treat them as nice people. I've had success with my last few trucks emailing a dealer when I see the truck in stock that I want, saying "Attached please see pictures of my trade in, here's the VIN, here's the mileage. Please tell me the exact amount I will need to bring with me to your dealership in a cashier's check to get the new truck. I will only reply to one more email with a yes / no response. I will also not do any sort of credit check at your dealership so know that going in. I will walk away if your finance person claims that I have to do one."

The tracks are often fantastic as background music (e.g. for work), at least the ones without lyrics.

Very nice examples are the Cafe de Touhou albums: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RY7FpB9BZH4

It's also very enjoyable for me to see how different the interpretations of all those small music circles are. You can get the same melody / leitmotif as e.g. heavy metal, Jazz or Irish folk.

I like non-VGM music, too, of course. But e.g. Electric Callboy is not really the best music to concentrate to. YMMV, though. :D
> It does not produce a focused image

I don't think this is technically correct. There are many focused images being produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEMP3XEgnws

> but it's not at all like a conventional camera lens

The physics is exactly the same as a conventional lens, because each micro lens is conventional lenses.

It's all conventional, up to the point of having to separate all of the real, focused, images to make one clear image.

For proof, if you block all the micro lenses, except one, you would see a boring, focused, real image projected onto the sensor. In fact, the original light field cameras, that you could buy off the shelf, had a single, separate, image per microlens. Looking at the image in this press release, it looks the same.
Cool story but Mozilla Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation. Mitchell Baker is Chair of both. For-profit Mozilla Corporation exists to wash revenue that can't go directly to the non-profit Foundation. c.f. Hollywood accounting.
Based on this article, I now believe the reason we say "best thing since sliced bread" is purely marketing. The (apparent) originator of sliced bread seems to have called it "the best thing since wrapped bread", and I guess that's saying something?

Anyway, your points are fine, but surely being made to slice your own bread isn't the end of the world. The outcry depicted in this article gives me hope/despair that there is nothing new about reddit-style whining about everything.
