I put my $10k in.

This site is indeed pretty awful and I couldn't find an answer to this question: When getting returns, are these going to auto-deposit into the account I linked to buy it, or should I make a note to log in once a year to withdrawal those funds?
He can launch them so cheaply that I'm pretty sure he could replace them faster than the russians could ever destroy them (with their substandard infrastructure and incompetent staff)
It’s an ubiquitous need for any app that has a dynamic collection view. You can’t take all sites, see that 99% of them are static documents developed as degenerate apps and then conclude that “most apps” have no reason to use it. It’s like saying that most cats are on jpegs, so cat food is kind of a niche thing for a cat owner.
Yet another article praising what should normally be looked at as a tragedy. It’s like those kids selling stuff to pay for they poorer colleagues school meals. They want to turn underage kids into workers, driving trucks (which have engines that easily blow up - what quality is that anyway?) instead of solving the underlying issues.
Technical debt can help you deliver faster.

But it depends on your time horizon. And how much debt you're taking. For most places I've worked, the analogy isn't a cash-flush business, it's a household that's living paycheck to paycheck. The feature requests are insatiable, and there's never enough headcount to pay for them all to get finished as fast as they would like.

If you can only afford is Top Ramen, you probably shouldn't be taking loans out to eat at Maestro's.
I know these don't map 1-to-1 on real natural synapses, but let's say you can magically replace all your natural synapses in a brain with this. What would be the experienced effect? Would you be able to think faster, or would perceived time slow down? Or something else?
Space man has direct impact on my agency; I need to believe in money and wealth for him to be rich.

I really don’t get the general public deflating the value of their self agency for dedication to Elon and Co todo list. We’ll except the copious amounts of government backed nation state scrip they command. But government bad too mmmk

Public talks a game about freedom and democracy while reciting a curated set of acceptable language regarding business, and bending their agency to the idea using the environment like an open sewer is optimizing for self.

But yeah flippant sarcasm about space man covers if. Yer so smert
Exactly. Several types of deep hate, sometimes even death threats, are allowed on Twitter: general hate towards all men, all whites, specifically white men. It also matters who expresses the hate, more is allowed from non-whites, trans people, feminists, etc.
for the same reason you don't see laundry detergent ads on pornhub. most advertisers don't want their ads next to certain kinds of content. Whether for their own moral objections or fear of negative customer reaction they won't pay for ad space near it. As advertising pays the bills for this service you have to only host content that advertiser are willing to allow their ads near. It not about whats legal its about whats practical and profitable.
The no asshole rule.
I’m going to ruin the book so anyone who wants to read it can stop right now.

Life is too short to work with assholes. Call them out. If they don’t change, tell the boss. If the boss doesn’t act, get a new job.

That’s it. Oh also, don’t be an asshole. Nobody wants to work with assholes.
Before we can call free speech a human right we have to have a working definition of free speech, which is not actually easy

It’s definitely not “anyone can say anything any time”, even this is not allowed in the USA. Libel, defamation, lying under oath, these things are not covered under free speech, nor should they be.

In my opinion, there’s no such thing as freedom of speech. It’s like freedom in general. Freedom from choice is also one.

I might be misunderstanding Graeber, but I thought his point was that by viewing play through the calculus of evolution and survival probabilities, scientists have not paid as much attention to the fact that play is fun.

How did animals come to play? Because it allows them to explore their environment and increases their evolutionary fitness. Why do animals continue to play? Because they enjoy it.
Elon Musk repeated Jonathan Greenblatt’s line “I believe in freedom of speech, but I don’t believe in freedom of reach.” (which is not very journalistic of them) on a leaked phone call with Twitter management a few months back, so even Musk knows whose really in charge here: the ADL. So don’t worry too much about Twitter. PayPal re-reintroduced their $2,500 fine for misinformation just as the Twitter deal went through, so that’s the backup plan for censorship advocates.

When do I get the interest on my I bond?

With a Series I savings bond, you wait to get all the money until you cash in the bond.

Electronic I bonds: We pay automatically when the bond matures

(if you haven’t cashed it before then).

Paper I bonds: You must submit the paper bond to cash it.

See Cash in (redeem) an EE or I savings bond.

The UN is mostly just a forum. What do you expect them to do? Issue a sternly worded letter?
Sounds like it was dead on arrival because of FM band.Reminds me of Thomson MP3pro's proprietary audio format that didn't take off either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3PRO

You could play an mp3pro 64kpbs with any regular mp3 codec and it sounded bad as expected, but using mp3pro codec it artificially improves it by recreating higher frequency harmonics that were removed due to the low bitrate and compression.
Edit : typos and precision.
> I would find the idea that a politician gets to say things, but I don't completely absurd.

That’s been Twitter’s official policy since they got criticized a lot for giving Trump passes on generally applicable rules in the runup to and just after thrbe 2016 election: they changed the rules so governments and sufficiently prominent public figures have wider latitude.

Musk selectively loosening restrictions on those who already have the loosest restrictions would be... well, not at all surprising.
I’m not on Twitter, but I can think a myriad of cases where I wouldn’t want to touch the API without my case being malicious. Like extracting data from the platform, or monitor specific accounts, or monitor trends, or whatever. It doesn’t have to necessarily be a troll farm, or a fake users service. I’m sure the API allows most, if not all of these, but there would be usage quota. You bypass it, and then you can even start a business around it. There are thousands of startups out there providing services for social media monitoring, and I seriously doubt all of them are going through the official API.
I'd be curious to hear examples of views that people consider reasonable that are censored by normal society. Not implying that they don't exist, just that most of the views that are "censored by normal society" that I'm personally aware of are views that I have no interest in defending.
It doesn’t support a few things, and has bugs in a few of the functions but besides that it works OK. Need to make sure your batch size is high enough to fully utilise the GPU cores. I think it was maybe 2-4 times faster than the CPU in my case.
There aren't public figures on HN like this, and people make fun of some public figures here sometimes regardless. You also can't compare a massive platform like Twitter that has a broad range of discussions and allowances with HN which is a very niche forum on very niche topics that surround tech.

It's like comparing someone being banned from your school chess club for being mean vs banning someone from the entire school district for being mean. It's not comparable. Twitter and Facebook are massive public forums, to the point where they are nearly public utilities that are privately owned.

An example: you would have your post removed if you posted that topless Elon photo with his weird body structure and made a comment about it, but on Twitter/Facebook that flies...because they aren't niche forums.
My Super Short Twitter Wishlist
It's known as tropospheric ducting or propagation, where an ionized channel forms in the atmosphere which can reflect radio. Waveguides above the clouds. Under unusual conditions it can enable very long-distance UHF/VHF. Analog TV has been sporadically received out to over 1000 km. As I understand, pulling it off is harder with digital modes, as they're generally quite sensitive to phase variations caused by multipath distortion.
Who are they going to advertise to if its not readable?
I get that bots are a thing, but also Twitter's API doesn't serve ads, which is its primary source of revenue?
My little side project is a terribly written bot that brings some joy to a niche group. I hope I don’t get excluded. It’s also brought me a lot of joy along with everything I’ve learned building it. There are a lot of automated accounts that are really interesting. Twitter is worse off right now - and people/communities hate uncertainty. Signed -@BostonTimelaps1
Orthogonal means uncorrelated. Sex and gender are in reality highly, though not perfectly, correlated.

Jack is launching his own new social media effort, and announced it publicly immediately after the Twitter deal closed.
Nobody has ‘thrown out’ the voting rights act. That’s an opinion. Part of it has not been upheld as constitutional.

The decision on gerrymandering is real.

But you seem to be thinking this is evidence of a conspiracy to end democracy rather than just normal bias. Even that piece admits that gerrymandering was invented by the democrats. This is just normal US politics at work.
They're doing amazon referral? Is that still a thing?
He called that diver "pedo guy" 4 years ago.

I don't feel like Musk has really changed, he's always been a bit nuts. He just has a bigger reach now.
In theory blowing up one could damage a lot of others in the same or nearby orbital planes with the fragments. Relative kinetic energies are large in orbit.

But this would be looked on as a hostile act by the USA. Russia won't have ICBMs or a navy shortly afterwards.
4chan has rules, albeit incredibly lax and with biased enforcement, but they are enforced (see /bans) eventually. Many of the larger boards seem perpetually and woefully understaffed which gives the impression that it's a lawless website to a casual observer, but depending on the time of day it's likely just the case that there's an insufficient amount of jannies to deal with the volume of posts, with posts being deleted upwards of an hour after being posted.

One of the more notable examples of rules being enforced on 4chan was its stance and subsequent banning of anything relating to Gamergate, causing a large part of the community to leave for 8chan. Or more recently the removal of the /qa/ board for cross board raiding.
Imagine a game world, where all your opponents 30000 times slower, 30000 times less energy efficient. Time and energy central resources in this game, which cannot be faked anyhow. Even if nuclear fusion or antimatter energy sources are everywhere.
It's great to have guides like this, but there are a lot of recommendations in here, and I don't understand the implications of all of them, individually or together.

The author seems opposed to disabling security mitigations for performance reasons, but what are the trade-offs? What if you use your workstation for 3D rendering or machine learning, and you really do want to maximize the performance of your hardware?
> I think Elon is going to take heat for content moderation across the political spectrum

The difference now is that Elon went from being one of the loudest members of the peanut gallery to the guy running the show.
> What exactly constitutes THE properties of the female and male sex is defined by society more than biology.

This might be true for the incredibly tiny minority of intersex individuals who defy categorization, but for >99.9% of people it’s not true at all, and challenging the meaningfulness of a word based on such rare edge cases is a huge overstatement of how controversial this is.
Nobody's arguing for "more power" than you or anyone else. It's about feeling powerless to enact change in the face of existential threat. The wheels are falling off the car while the driver refuses to stop. For anyone believing they're in that situation, compromise is no longer a rational option.
I realize this is one of the most difficult points to understand about relativity.

The question this paradox comes down to is, when are you comparing your watches? The two observers (the spaceship and you) won't be able to agree on what it means for two events to occur at the same time. Once you take this into account you will realize there is no contradiction and the POVs of the two observers are indeed symmetric as expected from the word "relativity".

For more on this check out e.g. Bernhard Schutz's "A First Course in General Relativity". IMO it's a rather terrible book as far as General Relativity goes but the first chapter, which is about Special Relativity (~25 pages), is fantastic and is was what helped me finally understand SR and, in particular, the paradoxes.
Generally the final stage is in the 1v ballpark. Giant buck converters are already the standard and we're still below 1kW for the foreseeable future so you don't even need something novel. Examples: https://www.powerelectronictips.com/powering-graphics-proces...
You mean they haven’t actually done anything to undermine election results?
Some level of intelligence is a prerequisite for experience of qualia.

A rock for example is below that threshold. The question then becomes what exactly is the minim level of perception we are willing to accept. Individual cells respond to their environment indirectly, that’s enough to qualify IMO but I accept people would disagree.

Which just illiterates people don’t generally use philosophical definitions directly. What they mean by qualia isn’t subjective conscious experience, it’s something else which they can’t actually describe that just so happens to conform exactly to their preconceived notions.
>Comedy is a final bulwark against uncritical thinking, and can be used to deflate ludicrous ideas that are otherwise culturally unassailable.

Comedy can inspire thoughfullness and push back against societal norms. Comedy can also be a way to normalize bullying marginalized people. Being a troll and saying 'But wait, I'm being funny!' still makes you a troll. It's not like the account in question was trying to generate thoughtful discussion. Punch-down comedy is just dressed up hatefullness.

I guess I could have said 62 years, but yes I was specifically referencing JFK. His Catholicism was a major topic at the time of his election. Many people questioned whether he would defer political decisions and general loyalty to the Pope. He had to give speeches professing his belief in the separation of church and state. However by the time we got ready to elect our second Catholic, no one seriously questioned Joe Biden about it.
Yup.... he namedropped it in one of his latest video's, that's probably why it was posted here now.
That implies I care enough to read it. I don't. And neither do the majority of people who don't have to use it for work.

Twitter seems to have become a cool kids club and now everyone is panicked that someone bought there it was in.
I found this page through through the link about web5:

Thanks! I guess the site broke my brain and I missed that.
Far left in the US is the group that promotes things like:

- extreme intersectionality

- the original non-diluted Marxism-inspired version of CRT (e.g. punctuality and objectivism in academia are “white values”)

- literal dissolution of police (not just creating better social services)

and much more. So they are far left not in the classic sense. This term has been somewhat redefined in the context of culture war (similar to far right).
Isn’t the fact that we separate gender and sex because one (gender) is a social construct while the other (sex) isn’t?
Time alone increases with age. Must be why happiness does too.
To be clear I’m not saying it’s in accurate I’m just saying it depend on the rest of the domain. Social media is different than cloud providers, and require different investments. Social media doesn’t require a hoard of sales and support and legal for B2B and B2G clouds for example. So we can note that in the list the closest example is Facebook to twitter, which also has the closest business domain. So maybe Facebook is bloated too or maybe both just have more engineers as a percentage of their workforce because of the domain. (Sorry I didn’t read the article if this is addressed their)
Still looking for a NUC sized device with dual 10G NICs capable of running ESXi. Would be a nice config for the next homelab.
Why would the boring company be a failure?

I expect creating tunnels 20 years from now as important as right now.

Traffic jams are not going away magically, but automation can bring the cost of creating tunnels down, which can increase the total market significantly.

Time is helping the company (just like other projects Elon has started), so there's no rush to scale up and turn profit.
There are many pieces now that proclaim biological sex (not gender) is a social construct. There are pieces in Forbes, Psychology Today, Professor curriculum, etc that are now saying this. I would say it was fringe if it weren't for the fact that it's been elevated by major publications.

When I was younger "gender is a social construct" mostly meant that if you were a man you were allowed to enjoy feminine things and if you were a woman, you could be a tomboy, etc. It also applied to trans individuals. However, that has shifted heavily over the last few years to be something very different and has gone so far as to go fully to the extent that sex (not gender) at birth is up for debate (even outside of Turner Syndrome or Intersex births.)

Touch grass, my friend.

I went from pharma research (my degree) to tech to the restaurant world. We use lots of hand gestures because the environment is loud. The hispanic guys I work with give me the bird all the time (kitchen crew), and nobody takes offense.

You want to believe, and that is clear.
Cruise and Waymo are the clear market leaders in Autonomous Vehicles. Tracking the progress of these companies in the past year alone where they are operating with no safety driver in dense San Francisco is incredibly impressive. The field of machine learning in general is advancing at a great pace as well. I think by the end of the decade in places with limited weather events AV will be as common as Uber. At some point people will reconsider buying a new car and just rely on a robotaxi subscription along with walking, cycling, and transit to get around. It will be survival of the fittest though, only few companies will succeed. Tesla 'Autopilot' on the other hand doesn't even use Lidar, seems to disconnect frequently and is much more dangerous. I really think they use deceptive marketing.
Concur. What’s a better word/phrase?
I would agree that the (economic) policy of the democrats is center-right, but culturally the party definitely has a far-left voice. Radical feminism, postmodernism, anti-racism Mao struggles, gender puzzles. And to use the overused term "wokism".

Wokism is culturally dominant, but widely rejected all the way from center-left to anything to the right of that.

Republicans are economically right (so not extreme right), yet have a far-right outing, as you say.
Things start to get weird when you're talking about heads of state and/or official government policy.

Unix and Linux operating systems have an error message lp0 on fire [1] in anticipation of your paper burning industrial laser driven printer.

* widely used thermal printers use tiny heating elements to leave marks on the paper, not laser.
The Mysterious Armenian Alphabet
I don't like the title but had to keep it original. Basically, for the names of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead, and mercury in old Armenian, the indexes of the letters sum to the atomic number of the respective element. The creator of the alphabet didn't know this because it was the year 405.
US GDP increased significantly in the most recent quarter.
If you look around, you may spot there's a decent number of people over 30 (and 40) who have turned around their lifestyles and become very physically healthy. I'm one of them, having experienced mental illness like you - and I keep noticing others who have done the same as me. It did take a change in my mental health to help me get the kick start, but then the exercise (especially moderate weight training) put me in a positive feedback loop and improved my mental wellbeing to the point where I'm shocked at how 'normal' I have managed to become.

Good luck with getting back to better health.
@debtinflation was making a pragmatic argument: that modernity renders these granular state lines obsolete. My point is that the EU manages to keep chugging with all these little sovereign states of 5-10 million people managing their own healthcare and retirement systems

Maybe a US state is something legally different than an EU country, maybe not. I would say the two weren’t intended to be different, and whatever trends have produced such a difference were a mistake. Either way, that doesn’t address the practicality question.
I had some fun with this device - https://shop.m5stack.com/collections/m5-hobby/products/rover... - the general platform is geared more towards IoT, sensors and what you can do with software, but perhaps that's even a more relevant direction than just motion.
I reported a tweet where somebody threatened to kill somebody. One day later they came back to say that it's fine, actually.
It's scary that any teenager with $50 can buy one that can blind him permanently.
This is one of the problems with putting rich and successful people like Musk on a pedestal--it makes it seem like they can't make dumb, ego-driven mistakes. Irrational behavior gets interpreted as some 4D chess move that us mortals can't wrap our head around.

Turing and Church said yes.
”(probably less action on more contentious issues, but you still can't use racial epithets and call for violence)”

This hasn’t been the case until now. Just as an example lot of radical leftists, BLM activists etc. have openly called for extermination of white people and contantly used racist rhetoric without any consequences. Meanwhile a lot of convervatives, libertarians etc. have been banned/suspended from Twitter due to false ”hatespeech” reporting.

No one has ever asked for ”hounds to be released”. No one sane wants Twitter to become another 8chan. What people want is the one-sided 1984 experiment to end.
linux is such garbage security-wise that it had to be a niche "hardening patch" to make processes not be able to see the argv of other processes. this normally wouldnt be a problem, except for the fact that linux and its proponents claim that it and other unixes have ultra secure user separation facilities
