Operative word being safe:

> learn to identify the safe edible species

The whole point is you shouldn't just run around picking stuff up, taking a run at an identification, and then popping it in your mouth. You should go out already knowing what you are willing to pick based off of what can safely be picked in your area. Safe here means no edible look a likes (or that you know how to differentiate with confidence)
I think if you try different enough programming languages it helps a lot... but what I found even more interesting is doing the same coding kata in those different languages.

Elixir vs Javascript vs Python vs Ruby... so much difference.
Legal will certainly advise leadership they can continue claiming that the system treats everyone equally, because scope of the word system includes the entire Trust organization people + automation, and “equally” can mean almost whatever Mark needs it to mean.

Most people who care enough about data integrity to use ZFS should also be using ECC RAM for the same reason. Which is most, but not all users.

If you’re using ZFS for other reasons, then you be you I guess.
In my experience, the majority of tracks that are "mastered for spatial audio" sound absolutely terrible when played on actual surround speakers. Most of the sound is on the center and the two front channels, it's probably similar to the stereo mix except with vocals on the center. The other channels get a slight reverb that sounds completely automatically generated.

This sounds okay when mixed back down to stereo for headphones; there's a certain airiness that can be pleasing, but that's it.

In an expensive Mercedes, I'd expect proper spatial audio with separate speakers for separate channels and it to sound maybe not quite as bad as in a home theater setting, but nearly.

Unless these masters get significantly better I'll just stick to the stereo mix duplicated on other channels. The one exception to the rule above that I've experienced was some song by Billie Eilish. I didn't enjoy the music, but the mastering was excellent: they took care to actually move the location of sounds around that didn't interfer with the music.
Road maintenance isn't a fixed cost; The level of use, particularly by heavy vehicles like trucks, affects the amount of maintenance required.
Ah yeah FaceTime positions everyone in a spatial way in group calls. Would be nice if other group call setups did the same

He's not completely wrong though, you do want to be careful when your using something developed by someone like the NSA. It's the same reason you want to be careful using cracked versions of IDA since the guys that can crack IDA can probably do other stuff to it.

I think thats part of the reason NSA open sourced the code for it so people could see no backdoor are in there. So in this particular case maybe less of a concern
I’d like to know more about the theory behind the synchronisation — how the syncing is known to be safe and non-destructive.
Specifying embedded ML systems specifically is an interesting specialization:

Tesla has not focused on any individual area to any large extent so why would you measure them on that? That not the problem they are trying to solve and its not the problem that worth investing 30 billion for.

I will not provide an abridgement: the article is synthetic enough and contains more points, in terms of information and insight, that should probably be kept in the original form.

I would just like to stress that this long wave of intrusive technology and practices - money to cars etc. - is unnecessary lunacy, matching firms and products undeserving of trust and a complacent public: this dystopian narration developed as actual history would not happen if people understood that you vote with your money and with any form of your support.
Those are all problems dependent on the existing auto-mobile centric transport landscape, and would be better solved by moving away from that landscape.

and in other places, in chrome.

The language is already so spatially dense/verbose, why use the full word "function" when fn would do?

Strange that sometimes expressions are in parens and other times sqbrackets:

when? [>2] -> print "1 is greater than 2. what?!"
when? [<0] -> print "1 is less than 0. nope..."

Some things make me do a double take, where consistent style will dictate one way to do something, but will be an endless hassle to watch out for the other:

a: (2 > 3)["yes"]["no"] ; a: "no"
a: (2 > 3)? -> "yes" -> "no" ; a: "no" (exactly the same as above)
Two points:

1) my uncle has a modest 2 bedroom 1 bath 800sq ft in Daly City (which is cheap compared to SF proper), and he is working on about $3200 a month for rent alone. My 3 bed 2 bath 1300sq ft in a good neighborhood in AZ is $900 a month.

2) I just disagree with this. My “town” is about 25 miles from end to end and it takes about 35 minutes to drive from on end to the other during the busiest time of day. Whenever I am in SF, going from Daly City to the Golden Gate is 11 miles, takes 55 minutes according to google at the time of writing and has a $9 toll. And that is mostly freeway. If you go during after work rush hour (say, trying to drive home from GGB to South Bay) you’re looking at over 3 hour commute.

I could be wrong about some of the estimates, but just trying to provide more context
> If your friend owns 10,000 rentals and sets prices unilaterally, thats blatantly anti-consumer if not monopolistic.

In my example, the friend is only "fixing" the rent in the sense that it was broken (artificially low) before. I didn't say she controlled the entire supply of housing in the area, and I didn't say she was setting rents artificially high. I don't see a crime.

For some reason you're assuming that anytime rent is raised it's a violation of the tenant's rights.

Detached homes are better for families in many ways, second would be townhomes then row homes and finally apartments.

Sadly many apartments are not built to withstand a screaming child in a neighboring unit.

When the children are older those things don’t matter quite as much, but by that time people often can afford to move to more space.

Seriously, I don't get it because startups fail all the time.

Google quite explicitly has a startup mentality in trying to launch lots of things and see what sticks, and shut down what doesn't stick. A "fail fast" mentality that is very hacker-y.

Apple is the polar opposite -- they do oodles of internal testing and iteration and feedback and don't launch something until they're super-super-sure they've got a hit on their hands. Microsoft is closer to Apple but more willing to experiment.

So people hate on Google when they cancel products, but nobody hates on all the startups that simply go out of business. To the contrary, they say congrats on trying, hope you try again!

It's a bizarre double standard that I'll never understand.

Yes, Reader was cancelled, but if Google didn't have this "launch and see what sticks" mentality Reader never would have been created in the first place. Products like Gmail and Google News supposedly started as similar 20% products.

Why is HN so supportive of startups that try and fail, but not when Google does it?
If it was anything else I would probably be confused.
It's not an "anti-everything" sentiment, it's based on the idea that drivers should concentrate primarily on driving and watching other traffic. Especially in cities. And road noise isn't the best "add-on" for hifi, or is it?

Last but not least: I prefer to not paying for stuff that I don't need, but car hifi is one of the (many) "features" you cannot opt-out easily.

This sounds useful. But one question that comes to mind right away:

Does Mutagen handle the case where “local tools” (running on a completely different architecture than the remote) still need to “know” about include/header/library/etc. files from the remote machine in order to provide working “intelligence” capabilities?

It’s one thing to efficiently sync “code”, but it’s another to make local tools fully-aware of the remote system’s header files, libraries, etc.
What about the developers tools and the developer environment? Since C# is cross-platform, it would be easy to develop software also in a UNIX-like setting, right?
The NAEP reported a similar treand in math and reading recently.

Not the parent, but find myself agreeing with both of you, in a way. No matter if it's 5.1 or "proper Atmos", those mixes sound fine - or maybe even good, depending on your preferences - on headphones. I also have a fake surround upmix on an audio interface that I occasionally use.

But I almost always detest how these mixes sound on my actual 5.1.2 setup. The surround channels mostly consist of a bit of reverb that adds nothing to the experience in my opinion. In a car where there are physically separate channels, I'm not optimistic for the result.
> My question is, WHY does this occur. Probability (aka Entropy) is ARISING out of a perfect Newtonian system following perfect logic without any probabilistic extensions.

Probability can arise out of perfect information only when you throw away that perfect information and chose to describe the system probabilistically using imperfect information instead.

If you describe fully the state of a classical system - giving the positions and velocities of the particles in this case - there is no uncertainty at all. The volume in the 6N-dimensional phase space of the possible states collapse to a single point. The entropy is a function of the accessible volume in the phase space - it's minimised when the state is perfectly determined (it's defined to an additive constant and this minimum is conventionally set at 0).

If you describe the state only partially there is uncertainty in the description. There is a non-zero volume accessible in the phase space. The larger this volume the higher the entropy. Interestingly the volume - and thus the entropy - doesn't change in classical mechanics (Liouville's theorem).

In our perfect Newtonian system following perfect logic even if we don't know the precise state - and have a volume in phase space instead - we know how each of those potential states will evolve. There is no irreversibility, no changes in entropy. (Gibbs entropy is also conserved.) Only if we keep adding uncertainty / forgetting information as we go forward will entropy increase.
As mentioned Apple has had various credit deals with credit cards before. And mainly for the same goal - get you to buy a Mac. The Apple Card now is distinct because they really are encouraging it as a general use card beyond just Apple Store purchase.
This is Slashdot's meta-moderation system from 20(?) years ago? Logged in users would randomly be selected to check moderation, and accounts that abused their mod points were flagged. Granted, you probably couldn't do that today as you could see meta-moderation brigades out in the wild. Employees should be better, although there's still the chance that an employee might use their position to punish opinions they disagree with.

I want to believe it's more complex, but doesnt this quote tell the story?

>calorie intake in the US increased from 2,025 calories per day in 1970 to about 2,481 calories per day in 2010

That suggests 9 days to gain a pound. After a year you gain ~40 pounds (or reach a new equilibrium).

Why would it be more complex than this? The author says that's not a "jaw‐dripping amount", but it 9 days to gain a pound seems significant to me.

The author also strawmans the Calories in, cals out argument, saying it exists to make (presumeably healthy people) feel smug. But isn't there also a simple biophysical logic to it?

I’m deeply sympathetic. You’re around (not at) the top of the range for small farm organic whole chicken. People should be expecting to pay perhaps half that at the low end. So you have a differentiation/specializing challenge on your hands but any tirekickers expecting $5 should simply not be counted in your potential market.

We had a friend’s whole chicken business fail because she tried to price competitively with the grocery store instead of educating her customers. Those per unit economics don’t have a prayer of making it up in scale under $10 or so.
That would indeed be the ideal, but I know enough people for whom statements like these have a real impact, me included. As you pointed out, they are ignorant and insecure, and IMO stifle actual technical discourse. Their only purpose is for their author to somehow feel better at the expense of other people.

Not everybody has the thick skin and confidence they belong in tech that you have, and it for sure is always nicer to have a constructive exchange than having to face adversity. I want people to be like the person that kindly pointed out SICP to me rather than someone blasting me for using global variables. The first was much more effective.

“I’m not that smart”
Yeah, I've seen "The Work Number" popping up more and more — usually buried deep inside the company's HR documentation.

I've personally opted out entirely, instead of just going for the freeze. (In their terminology, a "freeze" lets them keep all your data and continue harvesting new data, whereas an "opt out" instructs them to delete all your data entirely.)

Another important detail: At my company (and presumably many others), it's not just your base salary that's sent over to The Work Number. It's also full details about your equity comp.

I've grudgingly disclosed my base salary as needed (leasing applications, etc), and it's easy enough to do without involving The Work Number because most employers are fine with generating an employment-verification letter. But I don't see any reason why the average landlord would need to know about my equity package, so I found that bit especially unsettling.

My read of that episode is more about the non human nature of public figures.

Media personalities, politicians, high level executives, and leaders of any kind generally aren't real people. They're figureheads. They're simulations of human beings occupied by a real human playing the character. And when the human behind the scene starts deviating from the character they're supposed to play in service of the institution or the meme it leads, they get replaced and a new pilot takes over running the simulation.

We individual humans aren't in charge. We are all just hosts for memes. https://wearehostsformemes.com/

Why is Apple spending hundreds of millions of dollars advertising Apple Music on places like the upcoming Super Bowl when the streaming service is running on such shaky ground?

I think it is much easier making more money in less time at a FAANG. A promotion is worth a lot more, and is a lot easier, than starting your own thing.

If you want to really save money you need to knock off the huge expenses - your house and private education. Working remotely you could cut your housing expenses down to 20-25% of what it is in SF (I recently did the math to see if it's worthwhile to move to SF, and the answer is no!).
