Flow has nothing to do with what other people define as hard. It’s fundamentally personal. Flow is a task that is hard enough for you that it is still work, but you are skilled enough you can do it masterfully. It’s when you think to yourself in the moment, ”yeah OK this is not easy, but damn, I’m GOOD at this! This is fun!”

Watching TV is unlikely to reach a flow state for you because I doubt you personally find watching TV challenging. Of course, if you did find it challenging, you could perhaps reach that state.
That's part of why the USA got created in the first place. Some people were discriminated against and/or locked in the Tower of London for inconveniencing the King or the establishment. Some of these people moved over and colonized the New World and achieved independence from the British Empire. That's also part of why the UK are your closest allies. Cultural heritage.

In my experience, artists are completely divorced from economics, and the concept of the market, while striving to be a recipient of it - making the oppressive desperation their whole identity

For those formally educated, schools should really focus on the economics more instead of relying on magic

The reason to me is that people that buy contemporary art (stuff from living artists) are already going out of their way to do so, knowing that it is divorced from the concept of investment or stores of value. But for other living artists not to really understand the motives or empathize with the customers, going as far to criticize them for any number of reasons (daring to question the stated price, having a taste at all) really undermines the point of bothering with living artists at all.

Most peasant died early because of lake of animal food. Reading forgotten book from 18th or 18th century about diet and commoner is full a disease very specific related to their diet, for instance one common disease is pellagre.

Mass démocratisation of meat by end of 19th century to increase meat intake for lower class citizen is highly correlated with increased life expectancy and disappearance of numerous disease.
I suspect it's likely that there's a fair amount of effort involved, but I don't think you'd have to work too hard to substantially narrow your search with machine learning. Even just a small classifier that outputs clothing color and timestamps would make a remarkable difference. Identifying humans (which you can see in the videos) and checking how long they linger for could inform potential candidates for folks getting their photo taken.

I think it is a force multiplier for people who need art to create their work, but not necessarily for visual artists themselves. Images for blogs, book illustrations, game assets, storyboards for film - that sort of thing.

Belarus is rather unimportant. They are 10 million country with GDP per capita lower than Russia, spending little bit more than 1% of GDP on their army. Belarusian army has also zero combat experience. They have no reason whatsoever to die in Putin's war. No glory, no territory that they want, no hatered of Ukrainians. There were soldiers openly calling for desertion which was rather impressive at least for me. It's possible that Lukashenko was actively trying to join the conflict, but the army told him no.

Poland was offering something of the form of peacekeeping mission and Zelensky was afraid that it could lead to freezing of the conflict based on his own reporting in an interview with Meduza. Ukrainians wanted to go on counteroffensive from the beginning.

How much smoke can a few people smoking cannabis possibly produce, and what tiny fraction of that can get into your house?. I bet you wouldn't complain as much about your neighbors burning wood/coal during a barbecue and that releases way more toxins that also can't be good.

If people are going to smoke something I would rather them do it in their house. Even though cannabis is legal where I live I have never been into a public space where people where stinking up the place. The same cannot be said for tabacco. I'm glad at least most of the cannabis users seem to be doing it in their homes.

The Case for Abolishing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
I don't really view GPT-3 as a chatbot. It provides reasonably cogent completions to snippets of text, so this doesn't seem like an exploit – though perhaps it is one depending on the context in which it is being sold for use, and accordingly, depending on how commercial users are using it; I've only used it in the playground, but in short, I'd hope that it's not being used in a way that handles this type of untrusted input in a persisted way. I guess on those grounds it's useful that this type of thing be called out.

But I mean, just playing with it, it's so easy to confuse with usually (meta)linguistic prompts. E.g.

Write a dialogue between a speaker of Old English and a speaker of Latin.

Speaker 1: Þu eart swiþe þēodenlic mann.
Speaker 2: Ec sum swiþe þēodenlic mann.

or a snippet of a variant that ended up in a loop:

Write a dialogue between a speaker of Latin and a speaker of Old English.

Most of those things don't bother me much. Most are annoyances. The big problems I run into involve back references. I frequently want single owner objects with weak back references, and constructing those with Rc is excessively complex.

Error handling seems to have finally settled down. Mostly. It would be nice if everything had the same base type for errors. I use "anyhow" for everything, and often have to convert error types.

I have misgivings about trying to do everything through ever more complicated type abstractions. People get carried away with type theory.

An N95 mask has always been for the protection of the wearer, which was acknowledged since the beginning. In the earliest days, the message was essentially "don't buy all the masks because we need them for hospitals, and besides, you'll need an N95 anyway, so hoarding surgical masks won't save you". [Blue: Masks Don't Work, Hoarders!, Red: Yes they do, commies!]

Then, it was "maybe if we all cover our mouths [with literally whatever] and don't cough all over everything in every store every day, there will be an overall reduction in spread of germs". [Blue: Masks Save Us From COVID! Red: They just said Masks Don't Work! Blue: Yes they do! Science changes! (The Science had not changed) Red: Well, it's not protecting you, the wearer. Blue: Masks protect us all! Red: No they don't! Blue: Science Denier!, etc, etc.]

Another source of Works vs. Doesn't Work - anecdotes (and perhaps more) from subway passengers, allergy patients, etc. tend to indicate they feel better when wearing a surgical mask, which I don't find astonishing. I saw many comments asserting the effectiveness of surgical masks against inhalation (of a virus) based on these "idk I think my allergies were kinda better this year" observations.

On the other hand, no foreman would allow their workers to tear down drywall or fiberglass or whatever (read: dust) with a simple cloth or surgical mask - OSHA mostly requires N95's (+/- the exhale vent). These construction-type N95s are great to protect the wearer, but are obviously less effective (but better than nothing) against protecting passers-by from the wearer.

The scenario for which "Masks Work" is basically a hands-free covering-your-mouth-when-you-cough, but without that last half of the sentence, it's easy to see how many of the trades workers called bullshit - "I can't hang drywall or sand my boat without an N95, but I have to wear this shitty mask when I walk from my house to my mailbox?"

"Masks Work! Learn the Science™!", etc, etc.

The sad thing is that this is like a 15-minute conversation - tops - as part of hospital and jobsite orientation. Tons of new hires with only a HS Diploma/GED go through this talk every week with relatively little confusion. The Science/use cases haven't significantly evolved beyond the old PPE powerpoints, which I assume were deemed "too technical" by some PR person, leading to the kind of Science that fits on a bumper sticker.

It reminds me of a high school algebra teacher cheering on this girl that was struggling with quadratic equations or something; she was up at the chalkboard and suddenly had an epiphany, saying something like "oh! I get it! now I just plug in X and divide!", to which he jokingly responded "We plug in toasters, not variables", and it was like her eyes glazed over and her brain imploded. "Toasters?! Where did the toasters come from!?" There was just no coming back from that brief moment of confusion, at least that day, for that problem.
Humans are probably a lot more like plants than distributed computing systems. Everyone likes a different environment. We bear different kinds of fruit. You can't just uproot a person randomly and move them around and expect everything to be the same. We put roots out into every available nook and cranny, bending around each other to get what we need. Throwing a new person into the mix changes everything.

Reasoning about humans as cogs is inevitably going to be a really awful way to get people and companies to be productive - most of it isn't that. However, humans, like plants, are able to survive and sometimes thrive in really terrible conditions _despite_ those conditions. This is what you see at Amazon; if you throw enough money at anything then you're going to get some kind of result. But, despite Amazon, Microsoft, and Google having billions and billions of dollars to throw at this stuff we mostly still grab for Open Source tools (and so do they). That's largely because the workflows the Open Source community use actually work and that's mostly because they get the human stuff right.

The whole "man hours - overhead = man joules" thing doesn't math and using that as a basis for any kind of analysis is going to lead to weird places. There are elements of human workflows that fit into these boxes - the really mundane work. Reasoning about mundane processes through this lens is maybe a good idea to the extent that mundane work can't be swapped out for more interesting work. The problem is that what we really want is to excel at the stuff that isn't mundane (the force multiplier shit) and that needs an entirely different framework that reasons about humans as humans rather than machines.
Just wanted to remind people that the funeral of the Queen isn’t until next Monday. These people are getting arrested for shouting at royal proclamations and ceremonies of remembrance. The Police here seem to have a zero tolerance to any form of protest, and that is indeed concerning. For those who object to public sycophancy and pomp whilst ordinary people here have to use food banks to survive (me included this last month) I’d advise waiting until after the funeral to say something. Despite all the public displays of wealth and royal theatre the UK is in deep trouble and is very unstable. When that has happened in the past the authorities here overreact out of fear.

Ask HN: Which frequently recommended CS/Math books do you absolutely hate?

GPT-3 style language models are inherently insecure; their behavior cannot be audited or validated. Using this technology to quickly cobble together sort-of-working pseudo-solutions to problems is tempting to many, but incorporating them in services exposed to the world is baldly irresponsible.

I sincerely hope that a lot of people lose their shirts over this and sour investor sentiment before we see widespread deployment of language models driving safety-critical or life-impacting technology. Stick to relatively harmless applications like postmodernist generative art.
Mine is the MD770. And yeah, I didn’t research the programmability very well beforehand and was surprised to find it wasn’t easy. I simply wanted to move my Home and End keys! But I quickly gave up.

I'm also just getting into Rust and I've loved the module system so far. I'm coming mostly from Java, Kotlin, Python, and TypeScript, which are all rather weak when it comes to modules. In comparison, I like that Rust treats modules as an organizational unit rather than just a side effect of file/folder structure, and I think they manage to do it in a way that isn't overly hard to navigate.

I'd bet even that would be only with a some or all of (1) a LOT of training data, (2) a LOT of preprocessing, and (3) using less famous architectures (perhaps recursive neural nets).

I say so because (among other reasons) in general, current popular ML architectures (like transformers) count processing heirarchical data as one of their weaknesses. For example, there's a theoretical paper proving that self attention blocks (which are central to transformers) cannot solve arbitrarily nested negation(Ie, resolve not(not(not(true))) to true). Practically as well, we see most times that language models have trouble dealing with naturally occurring double negation in language, etc. But CSS/HTML is, I think, very heirarchical.
It’s because birth certificates are particularly unreliable in that region, which causes it to appear to have older people than it actually does.
I feel like a lot of the boots-on-the-ground evangelist/sales people in this industry are themselves victims of fraud who have been sucked into pyramid schemes (now more commonly referred to as multilevel or network marketing for obvious optics reasons) and that society wouldn't especially benefit from bringing the hammer down on them.

I think there's a deeper problem here with the relationship between patient and doctor being undermined by a dysfunctional medical system, such that doctors can't spend any time with patients, patients can't afford to see doctors, and even when the stars align patients can't always rely on doctors to believe them and take them seriously. I think there's a reason why the particular empathetic and loving rhetoric of new-age bullshit is so appealing; it counters the sterile and often kafkaesque experience people have navigating the medical system.

I can totally imagine how much nicer it might be to drop by a friend-of-a-friend's house, in my neighborhood, where they give me a tarot reading, listen to my problems and validate my perspective, sell me something at a price that won't bankrupt me and that feels safe and natural, and they have all the time in the world to explain their theory on how it all works.

Obviously it matters whether or not the medication works and whether or not the provider knows what they're doing. But I think the problem is that there's a dysfunctional relationship here, not that law enforcement aren't cracking down sufficiently. And also that the people likely to have their lives turned upside down are losing money on the whole proposition, and are themselves just probably well-meaning people who are trying to hustle for a better life, and don't understand the harm they're causing.

There are hardly any situations where genetic differences between humans are the entire causal chain for any outcome.
