What do you "Matrix is always better for every single purpose"? Are you saying that you really believe that, or characterizing others as saying that wrongly?
I don't know much about either, but I thought both had somewhat new (less-tested) encryption algos (one is 'double-ratchet' or something? that recently has shown security vulnerabilities?)
you don't actually need to lose your coins for them to lose value... custody and value aren't the same thing.
Apple absolutely did not abandon the Xserve platform after promising a professional and modern Unix experience. Google is definitely the only one with a penchant for mercy-killing unsuccessful products.
I imagine that's why the other person qualified their remark as referring to "macroscopic" objects.
Your discourse makes perfect sense, but thinking more about it... this works when you behave almost like a robot, de-couple emotions from work. Provide service --> get paid. If that works for you and other employees, that's perfectly fine. From experience I know this does not work for me personally. A job has a feedback loop, from which fee or salary is part. For me that is only a small part. The biggest part of the feedback loop is satisfaction I get via social interaction, next to technical satisfaction -- making things that work.
When one gets -- publicly or not -- humiliated or downplayed, bullied, this has a very big impact on one's feelings and hence job satisfaction.
The biggest lesson I learned over the years: there are plenty of employers, each have a unique work culture and types of managers. If things go awry, switch jobs until you enter a culture that fits you well, and you will be happier. Don't dwell about it too much.

I always bought Intel CPU laptops. Could never figure out the AMD naming scheme (and still can't but that goes for Intel now too). Also back then it seemed the AMD laptops were of poorer quality than the Intel ones.

Some are worse than others. Every time I have to dis/re-assemble our IKEA bedframe, it's a struggle to figure out how the weird spinny locks work - which way to turn them, are they actually engaging? did I strip something? why don't I just go buy a real bed frame?

The basic stuff like bookshelves, coffee tables, chairs, maybe desks are pretty easy. But I put together a metal filing cabinet from IKEA once, and it was like a 2 hour ordeal for a piece of junk.

I'd still find piracy tempting if streaming services were free just because streaming service UIs don't offer good parental controls. All I want is a goddamn allow-list. That's it.

It took me a while but I have created a good set for assembling ikea furniture:

dewalt gyroscopic screwdriver: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00DL7QDS2

This screwdriver is KEY to assembling ikea furniture. Not only does it have a clutch, but the twist action gives you the finesse to tighten without spinning the screw and stripping the soft ikea woodlike substances.

I think it preserves your "mechanics feel"[1] you normally only get from hand tools.

"There’s what’s called “mechanic’s feel,” which is very obvious to those who know what it is, but hard to describe to those who don’t; and when you see someone working on a machine who doesn’t have it, you tend to suffer with the machine.

The mechanic’s feel comes from a deep inner kinesthetic feeling for the elasticity of materials." ... [read the book for more]
That’s not true. Unions negotiate minimums, using collective power to balance the employer’s power over employees.

Individual employees are free to negotiate individually beyond that. Many do just that, but of course it’s less likely to succeed since individuals don’t have the ability to threaten industrial action.
It's almost worthwhile buying a very cheap phone/laptop and signing in to your Gmail account and only ever turning on said phone/laptop until your primary device is locked out through some misfortunate event.

Thanks very much for the reference. I'm curious about this but unfortunately not enough to keep up with the nooks and crannies where it's being worked on!
Either the language model would need to know what it's doing or the host program would have to know what the AI is doing. Both seem out of reach. The latter seems more doable since you could hack something up for simple scenarios, but you'd effectively have to match the capabilities of the neural network in a classical way to handle every case (which would render using a neural net moot).
You most likely have a lot of valuable experience that many great robotics teams sorely need. At the very least you could start talking to your network, recruiters, and other companies to see what your worth is. You don't have to commit to anything but you are doing yourself a great disservice by not exploring other options and sticking to a place that doesn't seem to properly appreciate you.

Not sure this applies here Top Fuel engines are nearly burning a liquid rather than a gas. And yes I know you can't really compress a liquid. The typical ratio is 1.7 pounds of air to burn 1 pound of Nitromethane. It burns slower than gasoline tho. And normal gas engine runs in the vicinity of 14.5:1 air to fuel.
Centrifuges are used for separation. An ultra is usually used for separating nominally-stable colloids (such as fine nanoparticle colloids), and miscible liquids where such high centrifugal force causes them to density separate.

Now to my actual question: How is Beeper compatible with the ToS of platforms like Instagram and Facebook that, to my knowledge, don't allow their users to use 3rd-party apps? Case in point: I recently wanted to use a FOSS 3rd-party messaging app for Instagram and my account got promptly banned.

Question 2: Do you support full message backups in a well-documented format?
Hi! First time user here!
I’ve been trying to land remote jobs since before COVID but I could never do it. A difficult part was knowing where to search for those jobs, and how to keep updated about new jobs. That’s why during the pandemic, I decided to create an iOS and an Android app that searches in several very known remote jobs boards, groups them all together in a list and let’s the candidate apply in the original job board where the job is posted. This way I can make sure that only refreshing the list in my app, I get the latest jobs posted in 5 different jobs boards.
I’m not sure if it’s allowed but if somebody wants I can write the link to the apps here (they’re both free)
It does not need to be on-premise if you don't want it to - feel free to run an instance in some hosting centre somewhere, either as the main instance of as a hot standby or some load-balancing scheme.

What I do wonder about is how they secure the installation against leaks of any kind. I've done quite a bit of Owncloud/Nextcloud development but I still do not have the feeling I can totally trust the beast, there are just too many strings attached everywhere to be able to get an overview of what would happen if e.g. a less-than-stellar "Nextcloud app" (like some of my earlier experiments...) were to be installed. Such apps could open up the system to intruders if they are not configured correctly.

Definitely, but I'd rather reward the first user to submit it (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33170608), so we'll merge this thread into that one and re-up it.
lack of decent and affordable housing is the greatest source of stress in my life, so i wonder what the housing situation is for those in this thread saying everything is fine. i too make a “good” tech salary of ~$200k/yr, but still can’t afford a house in the modest neighborhood in southern california where i grew up, let alone any safe neighborhood within commuting distance of my employer in the bay area. i suspect those saying everything is fine and ignore the news are just being boiled slowly with the rest of us and/or enjoy affordable housing.

also, lack of community is perhaps equally important to housing. seems like meaningful social relationships are much harder to cultivate than a decade ago. but if i ever happen to be fortunate enough to live in a space that can accommodate, you all are welcome to come over and kick it.

i disagree with the assumption that it's a solvable problem. people remain fallible and the correct solution is to mitigate our downside by minimizing state power. not disagreeing with the idea that we also need to work on lots of other ways to reduce its power and ability to track people btw.

I have now worked at several significantly-sized companies that ripped Ruby out of everything as they scaled, usually replaced with Go, though none as large as Shopify.

I wonder what that financial calculus looks like between these options for a large organization:

1. trying to basically reinvent the workings of an entire programming language and migrate your Ruby apps to these new tools/runtimes/typecheckers/whatever

2. incrementally rewriting critical paths to something more performant (Go/Rust) & just throwing more servers at the Ruby stuff you haven't managed to replace yet.
I really fell this right now. I'm totally burnt out. I accepted a fully remote role a year and some ago and I realize that it was a mistake. I really need the time with people face to face, not for my work efficiency, but for my happiness.

I'm looking for a new opportunity that has a hybrid or in-person aspect and I'm hoping the change would start to spin that positive fly-wheel.
So here's a data point: I work for a company https://6river.com/ that makes warehouse robots - or co-bots as our founders call them - and the feedback we've gotten is the total opposite. Warehouse workers love our robots, we've had reports of workers leaving for higher paying jobs at other warehouse and returning specifically because our robots make the work so much easier. So I guess it depends on the work and the type of automation.

I used a throwaway because I know my co-workers read HN!

Wouldn't Hellō know all of this though? It seems it's just moving the privacy concern to another organization.
It's really surprising that that is legal to do. It should most definitely not be. (and I say this as a typical apple fanboy)
The problem with in person community is typically not that we cannot become part of one, the problem is that we don't want to sacrifice our individualistic urges as we would have to, if we seriously became part of a collective.

To many of us believe we can live the individualistic dream and be part of a collective without subtracting from either one. This is not possible. Being part of a collective often means we cannot do what we want, the way we want, when we want and with whom we want. Being part of a collective can be messy, challenging and uncomfortable. But it can also be fulfilling, cosy, safe and home.

To become collective we need to carefully look into ourselves and ask us: What is it that makes individualism our comfort zone, what are we afraid of, what makes us insecure?

On top of that finding the actual collective might be harder than ot was back then. In the past you had no choice, you were thrown into the world and into a collective. That could be good or very, very bad. My mother had 6 silblings and she hated it, she was never happier then when she got a distance. In times of the internet we could potentially even choose our collectives. But who is willing to do that in this day and age beyond hippies, squatters, artists and similar people?

The thing is, nothing stops any of us to build a community of actual people right now. Living together might even reduce rent.

Yes, their top speed is much much faster. But put that same vehicle on a 1/4 mile race track, racing a top fuel dragster. The top fuel dragster produces around 5g's at launch, the top speed cars are very very slow to build up speed. So much so, they usually require a pilot vehicle just to start them, like you trying to start pedaling your bicycle in 5th gear. You'll want a push. It's a different type of racing.

> Not much faster land vehicles than those.

Doubt. The people who believe this kind of stuff will just say it's the deep state trying to cover up their conspiracy or some equally asinine garbage. They have a persecution fetish, and any sort of punishment will just cause them to double down.
Jones stated that the Sandy Hook victims were crisis actors. he knew that to be false. it was an egregious case of defamation. knowingly spreading lies that damage someone's reputation is called slander, and it's not protected by the first amendment. neither is shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, or committing perjury, or falsifying your income taxes.
If you aren't already familiar with the concept of the 'third place' [1] it might be an interesting thing to learn more about.

There has been for a while (20+ years) a decline in enforced third places (e.g. declining religiosity/church attendance) in many parts of the Western world with little else taking that space. I know Sunday Assembly [2] exists in some places and I hope works for the communities it supports.

As someone who's been closely following the Infowars/Free Speech Systems trials (watched all the depos, trial footage, etc.), all I can say is that I'm glad these families are finally getting justice. Even though I'm sure it'll be tied up in appeals for awhile (and reduced on appeal), hopefully it'll prevent future harassment campaigns against families when tragedies occur.

And before anyone says "but why wasn't Jones given a trial to determine his guilt? The first amendment is under attack!", Infowars has repeatedly failed to prepare its employees for depositions, refused to respond to discovery requests, and has perjured itself numerous times. The default judgements received in both this and the Texas cases were well deserved, and anyone with a less explosive personality and media presence would have been given far fewer chances to comply.
I think we are getting caught in what it means to "exist". Perhaps my language was not precise enough. My meaning wasn't that the idea and abstraction of race does not exist in my earlier comments - my point was that the abstraction (social construct in this case) is very leaky, and doesn't match reality, hence the several examples I provide where the idea of race doesn't make sense at all. My argument is that the abstraction is so far removed from the reality that it's more harmful than helpful. In our computerized data driven modern reality, there's no reason we couldn't deeply assess every individual's full history and situation to determine how underprivileged they are, rather than using superficial and inaccurate measures such as skin color.
I'm saying that people put Matrix/Element in competition with Signal. These used to be dominating voices here. I do think the Matrix == Slack and Signal == Text philosophy has become more prominent now (the philosophy I prescribe to). But there are also major discussions about decentralization and users would suggest Matrix was more secure because of that even though at the time group chats were not encrypted (they are now) and E2EE was not enabled by default.

These are purely my observations of the discourse around Signal and should not be taken as a universal truth. Only my subjective reality.

I'm not aware of any major vulnerabilities in Matrix (but I'm not following) closely. I'm also not aware of any in Signal, which I know is frequently audited. There is an SGX attack, but it is often blown out of proportion (highly technical attack that requires an unlocked phone to be in the physical hands of the attacker).
I’m surprised at the amount of dismissive comments. Would we say the same things to someone depressed - ah that’s just life, have you tried running a marathon?
In my country only unions get a seat at the table and whatever they negotiate applies to everyone.

MIDI is extraordinarily expressive and is likely used to sequence a large majority of music produced within the last three decades. A lot of the instruments you hear are synthesizers or samplers running directly from MIDI. There is a lot more to what MIDI can do, and is used for, than the conception most people have from "canyon.mid" or old website background music. If an AI can do MIDI just fine then it's an extremely small leap to doing audio just fine.
Would the libraries take care of most of the algorithms mentioned in Horn's book? I was wondering if there's something in between: it goes beyond basic linear algebra, but it uses the numerical libraries to process the large matrices to solve complex problems.
I highly recommend the "glue" worker path. The catch phrase I use is "a rising tide raises all ships." When I was a young buck I took the "shooting star" path where I'd knock out user stories at 10x or more compared to the team average. Basically everyone hated me. Then I chose the "rising tide" path and most people loved me. All of my greatest $ opportunities came from people I raised up. Even little behaviors like instead of speaking up in meetings I DM people to offer suggestions/corrections to things they've said in meetings. And then they can seamlessly take credit for my ideas by incorporating them as they continue to talk. If you care about promotions, it's important to also do this for leadership.

If you measure my work by lines of code or user stories completed, etc. I will come up short for sure. But teams love having me around and I never lack for opportunity.
I think we can all slow down a bit more. I have seen more companies move from an “innovation” stance to one of “perseverance”. Who knows when we will hit bottom.

I wrote a book about this feeling of ennui. I thought it was linked with technology addiction given my consumption habits. I think we’re desperately looking for community but the facade of always being connected plays these tricks on us. I think talking about these things openly will do just as much as therapy will.
For starters, signal retains a conversation for the length of time you grant. That can be indefinite. The way it is retained is in a local storage database. It is intentionally guarded against export (although this is somewhat unavoidable with backup features on phones), so as to avoid companies like Cellebrite making it easy for LE to overstep their bounds and pull the message database when they take your phone. If you want some kind of export interface, your best option is a screenshot — signal does not take any action that threatens the mutual security between parties as explicitly agreed.
DEI has an enormous surface area, I don’t think you can blanket describe it as anti-intellectual.

Honestly, as someone who has been building robots full time for 7 years, I am struggling to guess which real world application use cases you are modeling your system design assumptions on and which alternative system architectures you believe you are delivering increased value against. Why don't you just describe them? It would be so much easier for people to grok what you're doing. The use cases section of your website lists is too meta to be useful. (PS. 'Modern' is not something people care for in most industrial use cases. In fact, they generally prefer 'reliable', 'well understood', 'cheap' or some combination thereof. You may wish to reconsider your marketing strategy.)
No, I suppose not, but neither does the electric motor count towards battery density.

In top fuel events, they're burning roughly 20 kg of fuel per second, so a 200kg engine still doesn't equalize the density of that chemical fuel.
Yes it is.

Why didn't Wolfgang Halbig get hit with the same?
If there ever was such a country, would people want to live there? And if they wouldn’t, doesn’t that just mean it would change?

I can’t see how some form of free speech absolutism would even function.

As for the size of the damages: in the US, weirdly, rich people pay more damages because I assume it’s also a way of making them stop committing the crime and not simply compensation for damage done.
Hmm, good point. Maybe small objects not quite close enough to a hydrogen bomb to be vaporized by the flash, then?

Feds are shifty bastards. I had one come to my house. When I refused to speak, and I started shutting the door, they stuck their hand in so they could claim assault if I shut it. Fortunately I was using my hand to close it, rather than slamming it as I normally do, and I was able to stop it before it hit their hand. We stared at each other in silence for a solid minute and they left. Fucking weird.
