Right, but there's all sorts of issues in how that is counted. For example if a person is stuck in a town where there are no jobs (say a large employer going out of business), that person isn't looking for a job because there are none, but then they also no longer count as unemployed. A person who just got laid off and is having a break on their termination benefits is also not "unemployed".

But there's also just simple lag on the unemployment numbers as companies like Facebook, etc have only just started large scale layoffs.

As a side note, I am curious how much the less fragile companies are going to be using current events to get rid of "expensive" or "unproductive" employees. Previously companies got around legal reporting requirements by simply laying off people in groups of < N people where N is a legal "laying off N people in X days must be reported" - do "current macroeconomic" effects provide a different path? I write code, not legal docs so know nothing of such things and am kind of curious how it goes

>They disproportionately own the assets that are tanking in value

You don't seem to understand how this game is played. You keep 10% of your portfolio as liquid money or near liquid assets. This means a rise in asset values increases your dry powder. But since dry powder doesn't go down in value as fast as other assets, you get to buy all the distressed assets on during the fire sale. That is the essence of speculation.

If a 4% mortgage crashes housing prices, your money goes that much further, but you only benefit from the crash if you have enough money to buy the home outright. If you must borrow part of the money, then you must pay interest which means you aren't getting a discount on the house, you're paying the same monthly payment but some of it is going to the bank.
Here are some thoughts:

* Mass produced housing built by machines.

* Biological innovations (cures, manipulations, treating biology as circuitry to design stuff).

* Robotics. As AI becomes more powerful robotics gets more useful. Robotics will allow automation of many tasks. Agriculture will be transformed.

* Medical sensing. Get an actual diagnosis rather than a guess. Being able to test for specific bacteria and viruses will be huge.

* Actual big advances in physics. Now that everyone has gotten over Einstein the kids are questioning all the dogma and finding new things.

* Computers that are more usable. Current computers are really picky, you can't leave out that semicolon. Computers that do what people want rather than following precise logical steps could transform the use of computers. Standards could help turn the insane model of having an app for everything to turning phones and tablets into general purpose control surfaces. No need to run an app, just move the slider. It should all just work, no configuration/password/network connection setup/app required.
Are you building a distro of linux or will you write a kernel too?
It's not limited to this stuff at all. Horizon Worlds is pretty lacking in this front but has some games. Open up VRChat though, and you'll see some amazing stuff. You'll ride in buses that drive through beautiful, vaporwave sunsets. You'll sit at the edge of a waterfall. You'll play games on high speed rails jumping against walls (and yeah it's as crazy as it sounds in VR.) And that's ignoring the games for VR out there.
There's a bit of a problem in academia / academic papers, where the researchers feel compelled to comment on "impact", i.e., "why is this important / what are the implications". This is often required by the journal / reviewers as well. I confess I have been guilty of it as well (both as an author and as a reviewer).

Which is not bad in itself, but sometimes there's no obvious immediate impact. That's the beauty of science. You do it to learn about something, and somebody may be interested in that something further down the line. E.g. MRI research came from hypercolliders / space research. It's unlikely particle smashers wrote "this could be used to generate medical images" in their conclusions section. At most they probably wrote "this could be used to create black holes and kill everybody" instead. (/s)

Having to come up with a half-baked impact case as an afterthought in the conclusion, often manages to ruin the entire paper for me. It's the case for this article too. I was like, "wow, wow, wow, interesting", until I reached the "this could be used to ban thermal cameras" part, at which point I was "no, no, no, God no".
Introduce negative interest rates on cash.
I don't think so. I've tried it. It's definitely the next big "thing" I wanna spend on. But this isn't it. And as a gamer I strongly feel Meta isn't the company that's gonna give me "it".

I'd rather back another horse for $1500. And as a consumer base, none of us are obliged to be fangirls for Meta given their track record.

pcl.js – Porting the large C++ library PCL to the browser via WebAssembly
pcl.js is a Point Cloud Library (PCL) that runs in the browser, powered by Emscripten and WebAssembly

The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing. The PCL framework contains numerous state-of-the art algorithms including filtering, feature estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and segmentation. PCL has its own data format for storing point clouds - PCD (Point Cloud Data), but also allows datasets to be loaded and saved in many other formats.

A point cloud is a set of data points in space. The points may represent a 3D shape or object. Each point position has its set of Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z). Point clouds are generally produced by Lidar(light detection and ranging) or by photogrammetry software, which measure many points on the external surfaces of objects around them.

Github: https://github.com/luoxuhai/pcl.js

Website: https://pcljs.org

Demos:

1. Remove point cloud outliers: https://kl2zjs.csb.app

2. Extract point cloud key points: https://3l6tfj.csb.app
So I upvoted expecting the worst, but this isn't that bad. The only thing I'd be worried about is canonical selling ads to third parties in terminal, then yes, fuck that.

EDIT: stuff like this isn't that new. GNU Parallel has that infamous "cite me in your work" long ramble every time you invoked it until you used a flag claiming you'd cite them. This is an ad which makes it commercial may be, potentially raising a different level of ickyness at least in some people's minds, but it definitely is of the same kind of behavior.

At the very least, if you're paying canonical, that shouldn't be there.
I use it in my office. Don't really notice a difference. I should get a CO2 reader and test it out.

It’s the immersion of “being there”. It’s the same reason why playing poker in VR is better than playing it on a flatscreen against your friends and family who are hundreds of miles away. Yes, visual fidelity isn’t the best when using something like a Quest, but there’s still something there just like when people first tried out YouTube. I’m sure there were people going, “why not watch cable Tv instead?”

It’s hard to put into words. You have to try it. For some reason, that is not something a lot of HN users are willing to do with modern VR. Google Cardboard is not modern VR

How is it possible that it is not possible to distinguish between violent and non violent crime? In most cases, violent crime has victims, be they animal, mineral or vegetable.

Your point is that people in jail for weed are probably violent? Based on what?

I’ll repeat my earlier question:

> Serious question: Do you work in or for law enforcement? The only people I’ve ever spoken to that maintain “people that smoke weed are indistinguishable from rapists and murderers” are people whose income in some way relies on holding that opinion.

Also I’ll add my second question:
Since there are only two groups of people, “violent criminals” (since all criminals must be assumed to be violent) and “victims”, what group does someone that’s wrongfully imprisoned fall into? Who exactly do I care about then? Criminal or victim of a shitty criminal system?

Also, would you get parole in the world of “guilty of violent crime until proven innocent” world? I’m fascinated about your willingness to make theoretical statements paired with your allergy to answering theoretical (and while we’re at it, basic factual) questions.

> Want to reduce CO2 levels outside? Plant trees.

This thread is about indoor air pollution. Trees aren't going to help with that. The best way to reduce it is to open a window.

For outdoor air pollution, planting trees can actually increase it[1]. Even in ideal conditions, planting trees is not nearly enough to stop climate change. The best way to fix the CO2 problem is stop producing it, not to try to clean it up.

I would recommend NOT using "Linux from Scratch". LfS is great if you want to understand how Linux is configured and built. But as a general OS reference work it is lacking.

Instead look at XV6 (https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012/xv6.html), IMHO opinion it is a cleaner, simpler work and has some excellent educational materials as well.

Is this a rite of passage? Seems there are hundreds of OS's out there, most of which remain the creator's pet.

Somewhat related: If you like hotkey-driven window tiling and positioning tools like macOS Spectre/Rectangle apps, I wrote https://github.com/ahmetb/RectangleWin for Windows a while back and mostly have been personally using it to position windows to 1/2, 1/3, or 2/3 of edges/corners of the display.
Buying a CO2 meter for the office - especially a closed-door small room one - is something almost all indoor workers should invest in. As you noted, it gets over 1000ppm quite easily.

My office is an interior one without a window to the outdoors, so I have to flap the door open here or there along with the exterior door about 100 feet away. HVAC doesn't do much to help.

If I am in the office with the door closed for 2 hours (I share it with one other person), 1000ppm happens regularly.

Some good reading for any passersby on the topic:

I'm pretty familiar with responsive design so I'm honestly not using the multi-viewport size set up that much. But it can also show dark/bright view next to each other, set up viewports with different networks speeds, and toggle various media preferences which is just super handy as these settings aren't that easy to toggle in default dev tools.

A nice extra is the page info pane which makes it super easy to validate all the metadata + check how the social cards show on popular networks.
Might as well spill the beans now. What is it? Someone here might buy it.
Been using FancyZones since the first version and as of late, I find that while basic features are great productivity boons, you still have to manage the windows and layouts manually. FancyZones needs an API to automate with, for example to switch layout when a specific window appears. Should not be too hard to add, just a bunch of command line arguments to call from AHK.

This house has been on the market for at least 15 months and has had its price slashed by over 3 million dollars and nobody is nibbling.

It's become a bit of a running joke around here, trying to guess if it's still the most expensive listing in the local paper each week.

As an aside, the local papers are really just pages and pages of real estate ads with a few paragraphs of news sprinkled here and there. Can literally rip out half the pages and not lose a single line of news.

I suppose my point was that I had been convinced that the Russians were horrible people by all the stuff I had read in the West up to that point.When I actually had to interact with them in the flesh, I found that the Western stereotypes of Russians that we had been given were all wrong.

On my first morning in Moscow, I asked the hotel concierge for my passport. She asked what I was doing that made that necessary. I said 'I'm going into the City. Don't I have to have it on me if somebody asks me for my papers?' She burst out laughing and said 'You don't need your passport for that. But you can take it with you if you want.' I replied 'No, don't worry about it then. It'll be safer here with you than with me.'

But they DO think differently. One area that I discovered was in the deal-making process. Westerners tend to make deals quickly, and then try to find loopholes in that deal AFTERWARDS to reduce costs to themselves. Russians are painful for Westerners to make deals with as they will debate all the various points of difference, even tiny ones, BEFORE the deal is struck. Sometimes, there is no deal made. However, any deal that is struck with Russians will be followed both to the letter and the spirit of that deal.

An example of this is that gas supplies were being made to the Europeans for years and years under existing deals that were in place, even as more and more sanctions were placed on the Russians by the Europeans.
Norway really has a huge issue of sensationalism in local papers, and it does not help that even the government funded NRK is deep into sensationalism as well.

Opening NRK right now gives "Now the government must see the madness in this", "Electricity prices can make going to the cinema more expensive", and "He is so tired" as the top articles for today.

I follow so much International/American news thanks to publications like Reuters, AP, and Qz. But no matter how much time or money I use, I can not follow my own country's news. I definitely am not alone in this, and it terrifies me how unworried most of Norway seems to be about this fact as well.

Its a ticking time bomb.
Self hosting has to evolve. It's that simple. All the devices we now seamlessly use in our house were once kits and DIY. I built my own PCs as a teenager, servers in my first job and then software after. My gut says running stuff in your house has to be absolutely dead simple, plug and play with a set of purpose built services that anyone can use from a web or mobile app.

Do we have this already? No I think most superior experiences are saas and cloud hosted e.g Apple/Google. They own the hardware and the software stack. The current state of open source + raspberry pi is not appealing to consumers. It might be the right way forward but only if totally packaged together in a box you just plug in.

Huge undertaking. Entirely doable. Just requires the right motivation.

Oh and websites don't have to be on the public internet, using a tailscale like VPN with shared keys is a good way since they do magic DNS.
> But you know how often my meetings would be greatly eased with a collaborative 3D space? Not often.

Yep, agreed. I keep seeing glossy promos with people standing around collaborating on a design. But honestly how common is that? In my experience the collaborative moments are much fewer than the one person design marathons between meetings.

There seems to be a misplaced idea that everyone wants collaborative design. The Figma founder guy said something like "multiplayer design is the future". Really? I don't think so. The process of focused expertise in design is often driven by the designer, who then meets with colleagues or stakeholders to review and MAYBE try a few things in real time.

Collaborative real time design of course happens, but not as much as they're trying to express. Too many cooks being the basis of avoiding over-collaborative design!

Re: usage for work. I wonder how using VR googles can actually work in any sort of public space (like an office). Since your vision is absolutely obscured, it basically requires absolute trust of the people around you. Other people can not only steal your wallet from your bag (that could still happen in a regular office, people leave private stuff unattended), but can for example come close to you and touch your hair or do other kinds of pervy things. I can't imagine women not being worried about this.

A solution would be to give each employee a tiny office with a door and a lock, which wouldn't be a bad outcome of VR to be honest...

They would book the computer labs of 60+ computers and tell everyone to boot up a copy of (ahem pirated) Half Life and get everyone one on games and then run a traceroute/ping/packet trace, etc to measure what was happening.
