Hi there. I have a R-pi vs 2, and I'm wondering how well you think that would hold up for a basic blog site. It doesn't need to be super fancy, but I would like it to at least be a little nicer looking and just a little more complex than for example Ycombinator.

Is this worth while to do? I'm concerned about using a pi, because micro-sd cards seem to be notoriously bad for corrupting data in less than ideal power situations.
Same experience with the Quests about 2D capture.
If you allow video capture to kick in, rendering resolution is lowered, the devices struggle to maintain proper frame rate, Asynchronous reprojection kicks into high-gear.
It's really a hardware limitation of those mobile SOCs, but pretty embarrassing none-the less.
In other words: correlation is causation.
What's especially troubling is that blind interviews and auditions, and other similar anonymizing techniques, are now being explicitly attacked from the DE&I perspective on the basis that they don't produce results that are "diverse enough".
Another factor is that men have an incentive to seek higher paying jobs because some significant fraction of women want a partner who earns as much or more than they do.
Quest 2 is a steal deal, so it's really not a good comparison target.

There ABSOLUTELY are biased interviewers.

I have personally heard interviewers say:

- a candidate is "too sexy"

- they want "hot, young Java talent"

- you were hired because "you looked good in a suit"
The issue is that many don't know they're donating to a charity, regardless of alignment. The popups make it sound like donations go to the running of Wikipedia as a web service, not to political activism.
Thanks for reaching out! At the moment I can't think of anything specific. It was just some small papercuts that added up enough to prevent me from using it regularly, not a lack of features. But lite-xl did show me that building a text editor isn't as difficult as I first thought, and I now have many ideas for my own personal editor that I might make one day. If I ever give lite-xl another try I'll be sure to share any requests
Vouching for this too, because it is a reasonable and possibly correct observation. I think people are less likely to leave than they are to weigh it as a factor when deciding to go to Austin vs stay where they are.

Why can't we have conversations about this stuff without voting each other into oblivion?
I’ve never seen anything that approached 80% of the screen space being ads, and plastering that much of your view in VR is preposterous.

I understand that it isn’t meant to be a literal prediction about the future, but it’s still bad writing. The whole book is just so terrible tedious. Every character constantly says out loud at length what their motivations are. The villains give long speech’s like som 80s cartoon but lacking all of the flair and fun of the source material.
Absolutely, I agree, every black person that votes for DeSantis is 100% a racist. They are doing racist things. Or are we on board the "only white people can be racist" bus? Come on friend you are now policing peoples minds. You have labeled ~50% of the countries population as racist, a pretty serious accusation. This includes a good number of minorities. People have different priorities in life, not everything they do revolves around race. Essentially the people that cry racism the most are generally the racists feeling like they have to white knight for the poor oppressed minorities. The worst part is that they just cant see it, most openly racist people can at least acknowledge it. Black people can do just fine on their own they are not helpless children looking for a hero. And they can vote for whoever they want.
Half-Life Alyx in 2020 and the Steam Deck this year?
Check out Andrews & Arnold. They provide real 07 numbers that aren't classified as VoIP by most providers, so they will actually work fine for most online services too.

Yes, politics plays a huge role. I've seen it play out that way many times.
95%+ by total energy stored/provided.

There's little to no water use in the storage or discharge of pumped hydro, water goes from one reservoir into another. The limiting factor is how much water can be pumped/discharged, not how much water is available in storage (which tends to be significantly more than the amount pumped around). So there's little reason why they wouldn't currently be fully utilized.

It's true that it requires specific geography (water and a place to put water), but it turns out population centers tend to be developed near water sources, already store water for the sake of storing water, and water can feasibly be stored in large quantities underground as well. Which means there's practically many viable large capacity sites near the places that use electricity.
I just experimented with the usernames in that video. Most of theme exist (except for "v2v3").

But a lot have barely any repos. There is even a "ferran" who doesn't have anything (public) on GitHub.

So, my guess is that Copilot stored a lot of GitHub accounts, and when we type "@", it autocompletes with any random ones from that list.

There is no relation with the code that it generates.
I find it to be nostalgic in the worst way. It seems to miss the spirit of its source material at every step, it wallows in gatekeeping, and is just in a way cringey.
Ask HN: Data Sharing on Fraudsters
Is there intel data on fraudsters on the internet? Would that be legal/GDPR-compliant? Talking about emails, phone numbers, faces, etc.
There are experiments in the opposite direction too if you are feeling really upset. The claims are not unproven and this was not a properly randomized experiment unlike the far more extensive one I cite below

> So women are much more likely than men to give up job hunting after rejection.
> This may not apply to other areas in life, but it does seem to apply to job hunting.

I think that those who are more resilient of rejection end up producing children more often.

I also believe men are more conditioned to accept rejection from potential sexual partners, so the job knockbacks are not taken personally.
On Bypassing eBPF Security Monitoring
This happens all the time in the field I'm in (phages, phage therapy) and the same names appear over and over. Peer review are anonymous but you can easily tell who's reviewed your paper or grant.

I'm not sure how to fix this problem though. In our phage newsletter we try to avoid using names and universities to focus on the paper/topic/finding itself, but I keep finding myself looking at author names and affiliations before diving into any paper.

I know it's "wrong" and I recognize myself doing it, but I still do it all the time.
That is the point you are missing. It is not just about price of homes but quality of life while the OP is just comparing $ vs $ when there is more to it than that.
Yes, sorry, short-hand. Natural gas comes out of wells, and with it helium. Since we're focussing on the helium, I called it a helium well. Indeed, sometimes helium itself is the target, not the natural gas: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-found-h...
Fairness and efficiency are often at odds. As a reviewer, I was sometimes asked to review papers from unknown authors at unknown institutions. My level of effort was likely proportional to how well I knew the quality of the institution from which the paper came. There is a great deal of time involved in understanding a paper well enough to do a full review.

Side issue -- also, the volume on the video is too low.
> As an example of what I'm looking for, I see regular static typing as a way to move a class of runtime errors to compile time errors, increasing your confidence in aspects that otherwise would need repetitive unit tests.

Dependent typing just makes it easier to do that, by making the type system more expressive. For example a map where the values are of different types, but where the type for each key is fixed, is something that people do all the time in dynamic languages, but it's very cumbersome to express that to a static typechecker without dependent types, so even in a statically typed langauge people usually make do with a Map<String, Object> and have to use unit tests to confirm the behaviour.
I'd think it's quite likely. This also somewhat happens at animal scale FYI. See "colonial organisms" such as zooids / siphonophores, which consist of multiple separate animals that are able to join and work in together and take on specialized roles to form and behave as one larger animal.
There is no reason to believe that a given username actually exists. "ferran" could even just be a typo in a comment that the model mia-identified as a username.
The functions of the USPS and a dating site differ substantially. If we were talking about an email or file transfer service then we could at least compare the paradigm.

It has nothing to do with Nuscale.

NRC was the outcome of 70's environmental movement that has strangled energy policies and essentially made sure no new nuclear power plant designs get built. It was established right after EPA and has grown exponentially to completely destroy nuclear energy industry. I have watched hundreds of hours of interviews with nuclear experts, this is essentially not a conspiracy, just facts. NRC hasn't allowed a single new nuclear power plant design for over 40 years. A complete chokehold on the industry that was already facing issues as explained in this presentation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb7tAwNIvUs

> The NRC (from 1974-2022) has certified six other designs: the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor, System 80+, AP600, AP1000, the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor and the APR1400. Designs for original pressure water reactors and the boiler water reactors were all approved under the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) which ran from 1946 to 1974. After the AEC was replaced by the NRC, the approval of new nuclear reactor designs ground to a near halt.

Basically, NRC hasn't certified any new designs since AEC.

Tell me how is this a conspiracy theory!? NRC's role, just from empirical examinination appears to be a roadblock, not a regulatory agency for the good and the service of the people.

It is scientific, just not experimental science which is limited. Look up Islam's Isnad system to learn more. There is nothing like it in any other tradition, faith or historic or otherwise. If you only follow experimental science, then you follow the religion of scientism, which only give a partial picture, and sometimes even an incorrect picture.
I agree that money makers make poor policy for all.

However, if it only helps against only one of a number of airborne concerns - COVID variants, common cold, flu - then people will want it.

If delivery is a specifically tuned LED light bulb away then it might not cost that much either.

It is all too early to tell. But it warrants investigation.
Incidentally, I just happened across the thread you linked to (I didn't bother to follow the link before; it just isn't germane to the point I'm here to make).

Importing drama from a random thread into a Show HN is pretty rude, and you shouldn't do it again.

Not to me! I'm happy with the discussion here, and will participate as long as you keep providing opportunities to point out (read: preen about) other problems with memory-unsafe software.

But it's super rude to the person who submitted their code to "Show HN". The rules on "Show HN" aren't the same as the rules for the rest of the site, because people are vulnerable when you're sharing new work. This particular person wasn't submitting their "rm with trash" program as part of an argument against memory-unsafe software. For all we know, they just like Rust, which is a legitimate reason to write in Rust. Further, approximately nobody in the industry is worried about whether "rm" is implemented in C or Rust. Your dig had nothing to do with "rmt" and everything to do with wanting to score points on this thread.

You might consider apologizing to the "rmt" person.
That sounds truly painful for all the creatives involved. They must be either sad or disengaged. This is obviously a whole different ball of wax than making a copy of TikTok or whatever else they decide to clone, so you just cannot set priorities or judge quality the same way.
> They're expensive because they're nice places to be, not because they're high in demand like a home in the Bay Area

I think you have used circular reasoning here. The price is ultimately governed by supply and demand. They are expensive because more people demand them than the supply available for sale. There are many reasons why demand can exceed supply, like development restrictions, difficult building environments.

That's no different in a pretty rural area or in a place like the bay area. The extremely pretty and expensive rural areas (think luxury ski towns) control housing development even more strictly than expensive cities. The bottom line is desirability, which manifests as demand.

And, if you're paying $1M+ for a house in the rural plains, it's probably far bigger than the typical house, because the land is very cheap.
I loved them when I trusted them to keep backups of things that were taken down like this, but the fact that they quickly removed KiwiFarms from their archive has dented my confidence a lot.
Well, that's because Quora has distribution mechanics like the home feed and email digests that can amplify content by popular contributors. It's not like Reddit or HN or StackExchange where answers/comments compete directly against each other on the question page. I don't think the situation is analogous.
This is literally how one of the biggest scandals in academic publishing occurred[1], so... no? Maybe it's a nice way to treat experts when asking them for their opinion, they are experts after all, but we absolutely don't want to give celebrities more leeway than unknowns in research papers where new claims are being made. You better have done the work properly, again, and again, and again. No free passes, no blind trust.

> My guess is no and there is still a hierarchy, however obscure.

This is my suspicion as well, and my experience with "flat" organizations. Hierarchy and power dynamics are phenomena that occur in organizations. If you do not create the power structure on purpose, it will arise spontaneously, as your organization grows. If you try to suppress power structures, the power structures will hide themselves.

This isn't some conspiracy theory stuff. It just means that in any organization, some people will have some authority--because they are liked, maybe because they get things done, maybe because they know things, maybe because they've just been around a long time. These people end up getting kept in the loop for decisions, not because anyone is directed to keep them in the loop, but simply because it's the way things are done. If you try to do something outside this power structure, you may encounter organizational resistance--if for no other reason than because you're doing things differently from everyone else. It is more difficult to navigate these kinds of power structures because there's still someone in charge, more or less--but it's not written down.

Sometimes you encounter a truly flat organization, but they tend to be very small. I don't think it scales well.
The argument is "the output that we're seeing is expected given the input". So you walk the chain back until inputs and outputs diverge, at which point the argument can no longer justify it.
> very little changed at least as far as the climate is concerned.

I've lived in S. Florida and in Houston. Humidity is similar, but Florida is far more comfortable because it is surrounded by ocean, there's always an off shore breeze, and whenever it does get too hot, it always thunderstorms for about an hour pretty much every afternoon when it gets hot. With the ocean breezes and the daily short sunbursts, the air is really clean.

I recall once getting back to my apartment in Houston after work, and I took a shower like I did everyday after work. Had to, always got soaking wet from sweat on the commute home, even with AC. I forgot my wallet in the car, and I knew never ever to leave my wallet in the car in Houston. Walked out to get it, maybe it was all of 30 yards through the parking lot and back 30 yards. I had to take another shower. Never forgot my wallet again. And when it rains in Houston it rains for days on end. And you just know with all those refineries and traffic that Houston air is horrid. Must smell like money to the residents. The only thing I miss about Houston is the Tex-Mex, which is just as good in Austin but without the humidity.

Many if not most things in life can be improved by spending more money, in ways that give you practical and social advantages. It's not as if VR is unique in that respect.
Your point is very well taken and I am mildly ashamed. In my own defense I mentioned that it was the one talk by him I have been unable to concentrate on due to this very problem. but thank you for doing my homework for me.
Opening and closing your comment with ad-hominem, by calling the person's argument a conspiracy theory, makes you less persuasive, not more. It makes me more inclined to think your own arguments are coming from a biased position rather than an unbiased look at the facts & an open mind.

I don't think most of the people in power in an organization having a particular agenda or set of beliefs is "a conspiracy". It happens all the time. (Actual 'conspiracies' happen all the time too. People conspire - hence the existence of the word.)

(I don't have a dog in this fight about the NRC.)
They show a huge difference in attrition rates after bad interviews in the first two interviews (I might be missing nuance here). They speculate it could be related to other studies in self perception with huge caveats and ample marking of the speculation.

Because they can make more money without it. There is an obvious huge push to get into the corporate space with this by meta, and corporations will not abide by ads for shit they pay for. And more seriously, they will have hard contractual and legal requirements to not be surveilled.

It goes down after a certain amount of sales. 25% after 10 mil and 20% after 50.

It says a lot about how large valves market share is that they can take such a large cut and publishers will still sell there. Plenty have tried to release alternative clients without mixed success
What?? It is common for certain areas to be mostly populated by a certain demographic. Iceland: 93% ethnic Icelandic. Bolivia 88% Mestizo/Indigenous. Thailand 93% Buddhist. India 80% Hindu. Japan 98% ethnic Japanese. Nigeria 100% fast. Dive in to specific geographic areas within a country and it is often fully homogenous.

Really want more GPIO than just 26 pins (and without "expanders").
i mean i'm not super behind cali big tech moving here, that was basically a joke. i think they're pretty toxic and distort the cities they call home which is what happened to SF and is now happening to austin. i think overly-progressive city governments have some fault in both but there's no way past the fact that tech will gentrify literally everyone out of a city, not just the poorest, if it ends up all in one city. i don't really want the entire houston-austin corridor gradually pricing out even the middle class which is where it's going rn.

believe it or not, MBAs and execs aren't picking where they put a campus based on abortion. they continued expanding in SF for many years when it's not a "urbane, pleasant, safe place to live" and the only box it checks is "liberal".

i think the only thing that has changed majorly in the past decade is Texas abortion policy. fact is most tech workers have more than enough money to go fly to another state so probably won't turn down a super high paying job at a big name tech company over it. maybe you will but sounds like you're ideologically very fixed on this. like, i won't go work in states that abuse their citizens gun rights so i get where you're coming from and would personally like some liberalization of state abortion policy. but most people don't have those kind of dealbreaker issues.

we can get past water issues, we'll just start piping it in like y'all did years ago. despite some of the goofy ahh rhetoric from abbot Texas is a leader in renewables and that will probably make it economical to do desalination at scale before other states. we're already pretty used to relying on climate control, and there's finally some movement on getting micronukes up for the grid.

tbh i liked Texas before all the cali types showed up. so i'm not gonna be pressed if they leave. i'd much rather we build up our own innovation scene focused on hard tech, medtech etc. rather than importing the cali "culture".
