I've read this is called Algernon Hypothesis / Algernon Argument; 'Gwern has a lot of notes on this here[0], particularly in context of intelligence-enhancing interventions, but it makes sense for the argument to hold with respect to natural-born geniuses.

> (a) Bottom-up DNS security can continue to succeed to the point where it links resolvers and caches to authority server

From my reading of dnsop the IETF isn't likely to reach consensus on how authoritative traffic should do encryption anytime soon. Remember DoH and DoT for stub to resolver traffic happened because of the browser people, not the DNS people. Unfortunately the browser people don't have the same leverage elsewhere, or we'd have seen more come from the Cloudflare/Facebook DoT experiment by now.

For a lot of every-day "investors", it's not even currency trading, not as far as I understand currency trading tactics (that said, there's definitely very smart people trading cryptocurrencies like regular currencies)

It often feels like it's just "number go higher" gambling, à la 1987 stock "investing".

If you look at Musk's career and public activity and conclude that the only way to believe that some reporter might get the goods on him in a way that radically changes his public perception is by ideologically motivated reasoning, then I don't think you're being nearly as dispassionate and rational as you believe. This is a man who regularly throws public tantrums and picks really petty fights against anyone who tries to hold remotely accountable (eg, harassing the rescue diver who called out his publicity stunt, or trying to get the ex-SEC lawyer fired from his private sector job with zero provocation). He's shown that he's willing to act impulsively and inappropriately if he feels slighted. Is it so hard to imagine that he crossed some serious boundaries, or will in the future? If we enter a recession and funding gets tight, have you absolute confidence that Musk wouldn't lie to investors to secure funding, and perhaps end up facing the same charges as Holmes? What could this man, a stranger to you I presume, have possibly done to earn that trust? I doubt his board members and major investors would take that on faith.

I've actually never heard someone make an informed analysis about a topic, and then spend their breath deriding people with different views. I believe when people have conviction in their analysis, they generally feel secure presenting it and letting it stand on it's own.

But the folks who want to rationalize their beliefs need to constantly tell you about how factual and logical they are, and how the people who disagree with them are the opposite.
I'm sure you know this but for others; the "tanks" here are university lab near industrial scale plastic 10,000l tanks, not glass walled home aquarium tanks. Same same, but they know what their doing and what complex symbiotic organisms coral are. UQ's Heron Island has table rigs under lighting but on the mainland at JCU and I believe the CSIRO it's pretty massive.

Australian uni Tank farmed corals have spawned in the same lunar phase as reefs for a while I believe, it's getting them to do it more frequently and doing the "IVF" like stuff, and implanting on scaffolding which is hard.

Not a coral scientist. I welcome corrections

Does it work with a random 10 second sample, or does it require the full song?
If the landlord isn't there to buy the house, it won't get built in the first place. Not everyone can afford to buy a house, so someone needs to provide that capital in order for the housing to exist. No one is stealing anything; the tenant is paying the landlord for the service of lending them the house to live in. The landlord is being compensated for the funds they have tied up in the house, that they can't use to invest in (buy) other things.

Like, literally, if there were no landlords, by definition there would be no rental properties. So people who couldn't afford to buy a house outright would have nowhere to live. That can't be what you're advocating?
How much property are you renting at a loss to assist others?
I'm on HN for a decade at least, it is always either clear how a comment relates to the subject or it explicitly declares it's off-topic which is fine as well
Likely the people renting these apartments couldn’t afford to buy at almost any price.

A much more logical system would be for the government to raise minimum wage and welfare to the point that people can afford rentals at the market rate rather than rent control which is a head in sand solution.
Rent control is about as useful as solving climate change by drawing a lower number on the screen of the thermometer.

Rents are a product of market conditions. You have to solve those conditions rather than try to stop the output from changing. Fixing the rent results in supply dropping off so the supply/demand equation is still met.

From wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_signal

> An analog signal or analogue signal (see spelling differences) is any continuous signal representing some other quantity, i.e., analogous to another quantity. For example, in an analog audio signal, the instantaneous signal voltage varies continuously with the pressure of the sound waves.

> In contrast, a digital signal represents the original time-varying quantity as a sampled sequence of quantized values which imposes some bandwidth and dynamic range constraints on the representation.

> Analog devices are a combination of both analog machine and analog media

So, in common scientific use, this is fine. You are speaking of accordion analog, not analog accordion.
You can't deduce the Born rule from the Schrodinger equation. MWI can say "look at every basis separately", but you still have to postulate that the probability of finding yourself asking that basis vector (seeing that measurement outcome) is proportional to the square root of the amplitude.

> Yes, there are some studies indicating that vaccines may cause long covid

You linked one study to be precise, which is about "rare cases". So going off that into vaccine alarmism and calling this vaccine rollout only better than a rollout that paralysed half a million children (and so I assume worse than a rollout that may have created AIDS?) is a bit disingenuous.

> Further, the vaccine is associated with lengthened menstrual cycle times in women.

I'm aware... Still not long COVID.
I get that on Ubuntu after a few days of uptime.
That’s a guaranteed way to increase rental prices.
This take I can see, that market forces (especially in the presence of distortions like rent controls) do not provide the best result for tenants, and that better systems are possible. What I don't believe follows is that given our existing system, individual landlords are doing something wrong.

It kind of reminds me of the argument that philanthropy is bad because individual rich people shouldn't get to choose who is helped; governments should tax the rich more and use it to help people. Well yeah, I agree, they should. But if they don't, it certainly doesn't make someone a bad person for choosing to voluntarily donate to charity.

> Like if they worked with Twitter and Instagram to add image license options, with sticky defaults so users could specify that their image uploads are freely licensed

Flickr has always done this, though not with "sticky defaults" (which you don't actually want; open content licenses work only when they are absolutely irrevocable and non-repudiatable for the licensor, which a "sticky default choice" might not be). Even YT gives users the choice of posting freely licensed videos, though it gets very little use in practice.
Longer term result: no one builds anymore units in the area ever again. And all existing units are never renovated or maintained.

"Optimized for macOS" is definitely not a myth, but the reality is far more complicated than people believe. There's parts of the OS that are definitely incredibly optimized for the hardware they run on. Then there's some random app that has an O(n^3) loop in it. Operating systems are complex.
If done in the short term (years), wouldn't this just cause inflation and landlords will happily follow that inflation with higher rents...

As long as a good is scarce and controlled by the market there is no reason for the situation to improve for people who want that good.

Thats why housing should never be part of a market, because people don't want houses, people need houses.
Perhaps John Bardeen, to date the only person to receive 2 Nobel Prizes in physics, could be considered a "normal" genius?

In inelastic markets such as housing some form of government control can prevent excessive market distortions.
Isn’t holding a unit empty somewhat similar to workers striking until unjust conditions are resolved?

If the government is forcing rents to remain under inflation, eventually something will break.
There are two very important advances that cryptocurrency bring to money in the digital age:

1) digital signatures to enable transactions without exposing secrets like credit card or account numbers

2) block chains to ensure the integrity of the entire system

These are both critical for moving to a sound monetary system that does not rely on trusting institutions that operate in a legacy paradigm.
I think the amount they receive can only go down in court, so you want to start with the highest number you can justify in any way. This is just a way to get the initial number up.
Awesome. A once-in-a-lifetime product was created without a incredibly narrowly focused definition of a product manager.

The benefit of a product manager isn’t realized when you have that rare, world-changing product. A PM is useful when you have 47 incrementally better features on your backlog but only have the capacity to deliver 8 of them. Do you want to bet your career on being 8 for 8 on the features to deliver? Or would you rather work with someone who has done the research to help you decide what is important?

The iPhone is a once in a lifetime innovation. Deciding whether the iPhone should allow the end user to select a default browser is a decision most engineers would rather delegate off to a product manager.

The problem is a lot of engineers delude themselves into thinking they are working on the next iPhone when really they just aren’t.
Pandemic Side Projects Through the Lens of Show HN
I worked in a small team that brought containers into a co-lo / bare metal / centos / rpm / puppet shop. There was extra shit for developers to learn but I don't think it was waste. Not just because "everything is containers" nowadays, but because until they tried to build a container with their code actually working in it, most of them had little idea about how their shit worked. One example from the field: a VM got rebuilt and the app installed from scratch, but it wouldn't work. I hopped into the box and farted around with logs, strace, ldd, rpm commands and eventually realised that they introduced a dependence on a package that used to be installed on the system but was no longer there. It kept working on all existing machines but failed in a "build VM from scratch and run Puppet". Not only did that mistake make it out to production, but at that time few of the developers would have had a clue how to fix it. After the containerization of our services, this was absolutely not the case. (And honestly, we just conceptually replaced RPMs with containers, standardized all of our servers to the same build and forced developers to be aware of how their code actually worked).

I know vaguely that flatpak is "like docker" in terms of wrapping dependencies.

I have no clue how that translates to missing features of compatibility issues with other apps.

Even knowing which is more up to date isn't shown. Or why i should pick one over the other.

The multiple packaging types confounded my efforts to debug an issue I had with VLC, as i initially thought it was a flatpak permissions problem.. No evidence, just hearsay by what i'd seen of flatpak in general online.

Gold isn't intrinsically valuable as currency or jewelry. Those are cultural attachments that can disappear.

It is, however, intrinsically valuable because of its many medical and electronic applications, which means its value can never theoretically reach zero (unlike a crypto token).

That bad huh? Hehe.

I emailed Chomsky some horribly pompous 'intellectual' questions when I was eighteen. I cringed when I read them years later. But Chomsky answered within a day, giving gentle, thoughtful answers to each of my questions. It was a far kinder response than my email merited. I used to read and watch everything by Chomsky, and one thing that does cut through is his basic human decency.

I'm a nerd but that doesn't mean I have time to mess with bugs.

Once the rent increases enough, new construction becomes more and more worth while. Artificially depressed rents lead to a slowdown in construction while allowing them to rise uncontrolled keeps construction flowing at a desirable which itself controls rents because its increasing the supply.
> mobile Safari seems intentionally behind on PWAs

There's no such thing as a PWA. There are a dozen disparate standards, and everyone has their own idea which collection of standards constitutes a PWA.

Mobile Safari supports the absolute vast majority of those standards.

IIRC the only "major" standard from that bunch that mobile Safari didn't support was push notifications.
~~I think axios can. Its API is similar to fetch, except for the return status. You could also manipulate the cookies before and after transmission, but that might be messy when you hit the browser's cookie limits.~~

Scratch that. I wasn't thinking clearly. I ran the call from restfox.dev, and it's another domain, of course. You'd need to write your own http client to get around it.
Do you want to put your career on the line deciding which features or bug-fixes to prioritize by the next release? If the stakes were that high, wouldn’t you rather have an ally who has done at least a minimal amount of analysis to determine which features you should prioritize given a finite amount of resources? If you are comfortable with that responsibility while also deciding how to implement those features than by all means ignore your product manager.

> Can the service identify short audio snippets?

> No, it can't. The service has been designed for identifying full audio files. We would like to eventually support also this use case, but it's not a priority at the moment. Note that even when this will be implemented, it will be still intended for matching the original audio (e.g. for the purpose of tracklisting a long audio stream), not audio with background noise recorded on a phone.

I hope someone finds this useful. Any feedback is always appreciated. :) Thanks.
Floating-point numbers are tricky[1].

One point which often bites people which isn't highlighted in this article, is that due to having an explicit sign bit 0 and -0 have different encodings, but in most cases you'll want them to compare equal. So just comparing the bits won't do.

IIRC even the .Net CLR had this issue way back in the 1.1 days.

For some problems, it can often make sense to switch to arbitrary precision numbers, at least for some parts of the calculations.

You would want to compute the chromaprints from the mod archive yourself, but acoustic would work quite well. Its fingerprints only consume about 15 bytes per second.

Google has a very large share of developers' minds.

They have a large network of "developer advocates" whose only job is to promote Google and Chrome under the guise of promoting web standards. And, of course, these "web advocates" will often go out of their way to vilify other browsers.

They own web.dev where they push out propaganda pieces and present their own work as fait accompli often without as much as mentioning that no, these are not standards.

Coupled with the fact that Chrome is actually the most dev-friendly browser, and you have huge swaths of dev community lapping up whatever Chrome throws over the wall without a single second thought.

It sucks, because there ARE crypto projects that have interesting applications, but the entire conversations about them online are about how much money the community can be making, or the disappointment that they aren't making as much as they'd like to.

You can't actually talk about the project, because once it gets too big it's just a farm for speculators. The devs don't give a shit because their project getting buzz boosts their coin's value, but it also means the project itself stops mattering.
