Hum... I think I understand your point but... That's seems more related to marketing than scientific publishing and probably is a widespread style and the reason why many found modern papers boring and deprived of any sentiment...

I understand there are time and "publish or perish" constraints but IMO, maybe in a romantic vision perhaps unrealistic now, a publication should be something BIG, in the sense "I do not publish a small observed thing who happen to be not that special, just a small advancement in something AS A PAPER", should be published as a talk in some conference, in a news group/ML with some colleagues etc but not more than that, feeds form ArXiv and alike are already too much charged to saturate them even more. A paper should be a kind of gem, something that mark a potentially important advancement, observation etc, something anyone interesting in a field and probably some others would read it very attentively.

Caring the presentation like a mechanical article is more a mass-production of articles I expect from a tabloid...

Oh, about certain journals: those who ask for certain files formats (like .doc/x) or give PURE CRAPPY templates should IMVO get what they deserve: be ignored spreading the voice that those who publish with them will be badly seen by their peer just because of the crappy journal choice. I understand their need to be consistent, but they MUST gives state-of-art LaTeX templates, docbook etc not crap. I'm not a scientist and very rarely have had to write small stuff about certain companies infra design and well... I have had hard time not telling some others humans what I think they should do with their stuff... In that case I feel the pain of those who have to deal with them regularly!

> its responsiveness has improved significantly in version 103, especially if you’ve got a lot of tabs

Whilst many like to have a lot of tabs open, I rarely surf that way. If something's interesting, I don't hoard it away in a tab. I have a Pinboard.in bookmarklet I use and tuck it away in there for perusal at a later stage. If the page is no longer needed, I close the tab and continue working.
The images definitely look good enough to serve as ideas/inspiration IMO. A sketch doesn't need to look photorealistic to inspire you.
I don't have any sympathy for CERN and neither do they have any for their employees. The people that run CERN are entirely focused on a particular path of scientific progress and their handling of the situation will only change if they can't find people to do the work that needs to be done.

An article like this is a nice alarm bell that maybe they should reconsider their approach, but nothing will really change until it impacts their bottom line, which is getting correct work done on a timely schedule.

That said, I think it's fair to say particle physics hasn't had any major discoveries since the Higgs and no sure-fire theoretical path toward one, either, so the best and brightest may start looking at other fields.
Three clear and obvious outcomes of this unwinding:

1. The crypto mantra "not your keys, not your coins" rings true.

2. Entrusting your personal financial data with a private company is sure to end in disaster, either by hack or court order. Privacy should be a basic and legally protected feature of blockchains.

3. Centralized Finance or CeFi is mostly a sham and deserves to be heavily regulated. Not to be confused with on-chain and transparent Decentralized Finance or DeFi platforms like Aave that have behaved predictably through this downturn, and have never required KYC.
Show HN: Linkidex – save and sort the URLs you care about
Hi HN! My name is David (david@linkidex.com) and I am the author of Linkidex (www.linkidex.com)! My goal is to make bookmarks better.

I built Linkidex because I was getting overwhelmed by the number of things I had to keep track of on the internet during my day to day job. Constantly needing to re-find various wikis or jira epics or project proposals or whatever was eating into my day. I was using a chrome extension to manage urls, but the extension was getting unwieldy as my list of “important URLs” grew and I started looking for alternatives. There are a few really cool bookmark managers out there, but I wasn’t satisfied with what I saw. Regular bookmarks don’t cut it either for me as I need something that works across browsers and devices. Thus, Linkidex was born.

The most basic idea with Linkidex is that you can go to Linkidex and just start typing. Linkidex will search across your link titles, link urls, categories, and tags all at once. Click the result you are looking for and it opens in a new tab. If you want to scope your search by specific categories or tags you can do that too.

Linkidex is a progressive web application. It (mostly) works offline and it can be downloaded to your phone and act like a native app without requiring you to grant it any permissions. The back end is rails, and the front end is React, Typescript and GraphQL.

Security wise it is deployed to AWS. The database and back end are all wrapped up in a VPC. The front end supports 2 factor and WebAuthn, so you can use a yubikey or your device's fingerprint reader as your second factor.

Linkidex can import and export bookmarks to and from your favorite browser. That said, I’ve limited the number of links / categories / tags a given user can have for now on Linkidex to prevent anything insane from happening.

All feedback / feature requests / complaints / whatever welcome. Thanks for checking out Linkidex!
I'm a moral anti-realist, but that doesn't stop me from acting according to my morals. Much like existentialism doesn't stop you from creating internal meaning to life moral anti realism doesn't stop you from having moral opinions. Just because moral statements aren't facts doesn't mean I don't get utility from acting on my chosen moral preferences. In fact, in a non-spiritual world there is no reason for realists and anti-realists to behave differently at all. If there aren't consequences for behaving immorally the only reason to do so is because of how it makes you feel.
I wonder if the housing market is also impacting this. It is a lot easier to pick up and move jobs when you don't own a house or have kids. It will be interesting to see how this changes in the future.
Yeah, I'm 34, and they gave me an On-X valve which seems to be the most current tech in use on the mechanical valve market. The most urgent need was actually to remodel my ascending aorta (complications caused by the BAV), and their hope was actually to re-implant my own valve after rebuilding the aortic root. However, when they got me opened up and saw the valve, the decision was made that it was too far gone and would have needed replacing soon anyway. I knew going into the surgery that it was about a 50/50 chance.

The ticking sound really isn't that bad. After a couple of days I was able to ignore it. Other people can hear it in quiet environments, but it seems like most people don't notice it. I do occasionally move to turn off my turn signal while driving only to realize I'm hearing my valve, not the car.
Do we also agree that - even if you don’t - other people are able to conceive a probability that the next card in the deck is an ace, a probability that I was born on a Saturday, a probability that Germany wins the World Cup, etc.?

Coding with Copilot for acceleration and exploration
It seems to me that Musk's "Twitter acquisition will accelerate X", is just a lame attempt to make his apparent acceptance of being forced to buy Twitter to be part of some pre-planned big brain move, rather than a late night stoner 54.20 joke gone wrong.

Twitter's problem is how to remain relevant in a world where the teenagers have already moved on to newer, cooler, apps like TikTok and Snapchat. Repackaging Twitter with clones of TikTok and Snapchat seems highly unlikely to work. See FaceBook and Google's failed attempts to capture the TikTok user base.

Turning Twitter into a 4chan-like "free speech" haven, infested by Trump and the MAGA crowd doesn't seem it would exactly add to the attraction. Making Twitter users pay per tweet (another Musk suggestion) ain't gonna do it either.
There's some irony that this is right after John Oliver did a whole episode on media fear mongering and the result of which is people thinking crime is increasing and their safety is decreasing.

There's a Japanese smartphone layout which is really fast. It's based on the number pad.

There are 9 base consonants (K S T N H M Y R W) and 5 vowels (A I U E O), and every syllable is either vowel or consonant + vowel. Digits 0-9 on the number pad correspond with the consonants (including "no consonant"), and then you swipe in a different direction for a different vowel (4 vowels for swiping in a direction, 1 vowel for not swiping).

Nice, big chunky buttons you can press with one thumb on one hand, and each time you press one of those big, chunky buttons, you get an entire syllable. After a little bit of practice, I can type on this layout much faster than I can type in English, even though my Japanese is not very good.
I'm uncomfortable with kneecapping every successful Chinese technology company. "US tech good, China tech bad" doesn't make sense to me.

Nah, it all sounded really standard. I think 45 is a bit too young for the test, but it wasn't a bad experience at all besides getting completely hammered by the laxative. Next time I'll ask for anti-nausea medication.
It's probably because the biggest at Blythe Intaglios is about 50 meters across, while some of the Nazcal Line figures are more than a kilometer across. The former seems like something a handful of people could plausibly do on a whim as a hobby, while the latter seems like something that would require careful planning, maybe some surveying techniques, and a lot more energy expenditure and manhours.

> When you seek to a timestamp from the source, or write a temporary matroska file and go over it in parallel in a second pass, timestamps being rounded variously up or down will cause off-by-ones and dropped frames and desyncs.

Why? It shouldn't. A millisecond-resolution timestamp unambiguously identifies a specific frame, at least until you start going over 400fps. You just need to go to the closest frame rather than rounding up/down. And rounding up/down can break very easily even if you're using ultra precise numbers, especially if you don't have a fixed framerate for the entire file.
Not an electrician, so someone else may have better info.

Grounding provides an alternate path for the flow of electricity, so if a wire comes loose and ends up touching a copper pipe or something the current gets routed into the ground rather than into pipes or flammable wood or something.

Dispersal over an area isn't directly the goal, but it helps. By dispersing the current into an extremely large object, you don't really have to worry about the object building up a charge to the point where you can't flow current into it anymore.

Yes, you can dangerously energize the ground. You can dangerously energize almost anything with enough voltage. E.g. a Tesla coil has enough voltage to conduct through air. Don't try to test it (obviously), but I don't think a standard 110V house grounding has enough voltage to dangerously energize ground over any significant distance.
BTW I appreciate good UI, your site is incredible, how did you build it?
This is gold. Thank you so much! I will be working on everything you mentioned.
>Another critical optimization boiled down to realizing that the response packet allows up to six keycodes to be reported at once. This might have seemed like a straightforward 6x speed gain, but not so: on MacOS, the keystrokes were dequeued not in the order they appeared in the packet, but from the numerically lowest scancode to the highest. This mind-boggling quirk [...]

Reporting multiple keys down in the same packet is meant to be used for when the user actually has those keys down simultaneously, so it's not unusual that MacOS decided to act on them in order of scan code, because the expected effect would be the same.
Didn't expect much from it, but i was wrong. It works really really good. Login worked without a problem. Selected some categories and the from/to release years. Switched to the player and immediately a good song begins to play. I played this "song tinder" for 10 minutes or so and already found 25 unknown songs i liked.
But what doesn't seem to be working is the "go back" circle, at least it doesn't do anything for me, or is it meant to do something else?

Also very intuitive design, that isn't very common today!

Will definitely waste some more time on it.
I was just responding to this sentence:

I wasn't really focused on the brain size aspect of the discussion.
China for the longest time judged officials based on how much they were hitting or exceeding GDP targets set out in the 5 year plans.

This has become less so only fairly recently.
Measuring possible benefits seems like a good idea. Well being turns out to be complex with multiple factors. For example, happiness itself is rather shallow. Satisfaction is related but less fickle and may be more closely related to what people think of as well being. Having a bunch of such related metrics would allow comparison that could lead to optimization or risk reduction.
Macs are undoubtedly better, but have two main drawbacks: cost and boot time. ChromeOS wakes up in seconds. My Mac takes a while.

Exactly. Even for people in those high prestige, high income fields the link between hard work and success is often negligible. Rent-seekers have taken too much, and we need fundamental structural change.
From the perspective of Twitter, the presence of groups you hate doesn't pollute the platform, it gives you something to engage with. From the perspective of civilization, it lets people get a little bit of perspective (including, in fact primarily, nuts).
It's impossible for a casino to be "fair" over the long term, because it has deeper pockets than individual gamblers. Even a gambler with a positive expectation (which is not something that is easy, fun or usually even possible to do in a casino game), over time will have increasingly wider swings of fate (i.e. the most they've ever lost or won will always increase), and one will bankrupt them.
Apple, of course, is free to do whatever they want.
Many cultures hold on to tradition because it's like rappelling down a cliff. Rappel too fast and you're in free fall. Keep it controlled and you won't descend into crazy untested ideas. America didn't keep its traditional values which is why we lack so much of the decency the Japanese show. As a small stupid example: In Japan you can leave a vending machine out in the middle of nowhere unattended (except for restocking) and it won't get stolen from or destroyed. In America it wouldn't last a day unfortunately.
Technology Has Outgrown the Right to Be Free from Self-Incrimination [pdf]
I, always [and still], believe that the web is the most open platform, but a while ago, I hit this [1], entitled "Gatekeepers: These tech firms control what’s allowed online". Only then did I start questioning my assumptions. I mean, while it is still the most open platform, the question I raised was "How far is it open?"

Congrats Andreas, on building such a cool project and community! SerenityOS is a wonderful project, and the world is better for it existing :)

And also all of your wonderful videos that you’ve made about the development of the system over these years. That’s the most valuable part of it all for me.
They are probably tournament legal in old school (cards printed in 93/94 which I play with my son) and in something called Vintage.

With multilands you must mean the Dual Lands and they have a lot of value. https://www.mtgstocks.com/lists/6 - even if they are from the revised set and have been played with we speak about at least $200 each and you probably had 20 or so in your deck.

If by original editions you mean Alpha (black border, round corners) and Beta (black border) - they have insane value depending on which cards of course.

Do you remember if the cards had black borders?
Would love to see some photos of your deck :)
Even if you can tune by ear, it can be faster to use a tuner, especially in a noisy environment. Also, if you listen to harmonics when tuning a guitar by ear, you'll get something like just intonation instead of the equal temperament tuning that you would get with typical tuner apps.
Yeah, video on Firefox is so much worse than any other browser it's insane. Safari still has weird issues with pitch shifting videos playing at over 1x (1, it's an issue with webkit, as it affects Orion as well,) which makes it unviable for me as well. So I'm stuck with... Brave, despite having issues with it too.

Sigh.

Depending on the total collection size I’d be interested in reducing the bus factor on this data, as a more recent collector of internet antiquities like ancient gifs, It would be cool to add some genuinely old files to my archives, so I personally would love to get my hands on a copy of that. Email in my profile if your interested.
This is just so cool and inspiring to me. I check out pretty much everything Andreas puts out.

I wonder if we're watching something comparable to the birth of Linux. I'm not insinuating that Linux would go away or die or anything -- that's absurd -- but I just mean perhaps over time SerenityOS will become more and more used as a "real" OS. For what purpose(s)? No idea. But the whole project really seems to have staying power.

That said, I'm fully with Andreas that having fun and simply building something because you want it to exist are valid goals in and of themselves. Couldn't be happier for him and everyone who contributes to the project.
It's not the discussion whether people can conceive all sorts of things. The discussion is about its relationship to reality.
What I'd love to know is how much they put in, when their buys were, so we can see how much "profit" they would of otherwise had if they had sold.

It'd be interesting to see what their role, if any, in promoting all of these various crypto-"currencies."
LunarVim is entirely NeoVim with default plugins baked in and maintained. I would translate this back to just debating Helix vs NeoVim.
Producers and consumers can provide their own damn liquidity. It's called "budgeting".

This seems to be an explanation ex post facto and not a reason for its genesis. This insane liquidity generation scheme is one of many expressions of the force that drives unbridled exponential growth, which we can now see is in excess of what our environment writ large can sustainably provide.

The pursuit of short term money-on-money returns is eating the world, and sycophants who personally benefit are turning blind eyes to this very basic and obvious fact.
> 1. The crypto mantra "not your keys, not your coins" rings true.

I confess that I don't follow this.

I only have assets on Coinbase and generally assume they're reliable enough (from a technical/security stand-point and legal) that I don't bother jumping through hoops to do a wallet on my own device or hardware wallet.

Is it stupid? Maybe, but I think I'd be more likely to screw up somehow with the other approaches.
> [..] so they are probably fameous and any melting would be easily noticed).

Famous in the 1700's? I believe the Scottish life was a lot more humble than it is now. I imagine these all-year snow locations would be more remote, harder to access and not a leisurely walk.

> The thing is: we can't "measure" the global climate.

Surely we can? It shouldn't be too difficult to have many weather stations around the world to make such measurements. Even satellite data could be quite accurate.

> And they speak a very clear message, which to no suprise follows the raise of CO2 in the atmosphere.

I'm not sure there is a clear message. I remember reading a while back of the effect of methane vs carbon dioxide on global warming, and methane by tonne was exceptionally worse. Maybe we should be concentrating efforts on ozone?
I think the drone landing where it is could be pretty catastrophic given that the drone really doesn't know what is below. Pilots routinely fly over large crowds, traffic, water, etc... and a drone with no controller just landing into one of those things is pretty dangerous. The drone doesn't necessarily need to have connection with the pilot at all times, but if it has a reference for the last point of contact, it can be helpful to guide it back to a known location.

Touche on the computer vision point!
Is Cloudflare’s free tier available to businesses? My understanding was that it’s for personal and hobby use only.

Airports probably fall under Cloudflare’s “enterprise” tier, which has no billing ceiling (as far as I can tell), even if the bandwidth might be free.

Put another way: I would not want to be the underpaid airport IT guy who has to justify tripling my operational budget because of a DDoS attack that (1) almost never happens, and (2) doesn’t actually affect critical systems.
Care to spill the beans on why "Hard no?". I have to say that seeing the way the UK is going, (or should I say England since the rest of the UK probably will break off before long, Scotland for sure) , Ireland looks tempting to me. I'd worry about anti-English sentiment there. People bitch about the Irish health service but NHS probably no better now it seems to me.
Which comment specifically, because I didn’t see one.
