And they didn’t which means they’ve earned gobs of respect because of their principled and dignified stance to refuse to be bullied. They won and showed the world you don’t have to lick the boots of elitist corporate oppressors.

Briefly - and I’m doing a bit of spit balling here. VR creates an alternate sensorium without adequately blocking the competing natural sensorium.

For example - walking in VR without moving your feet causes competing proprioceptive sensations. Our feet give us important information regarding where we are in a 3D space. How should the brain interpret walking but not really walking?

And flying/roller coaster should cause changes in the information provided by our otoliths of our inner ear. Instead we go down a roller coaster and expect a real physical change but otoliths are unmoved and there’s no actual sensation. It’s just confusing.

Now as far as lag between head movement in reality and in virtual realm? That is another good example you bring up. It needs to be very close to perfect with as little lag as possible
"Are you excited for the Chinese government to find ways to threaten Tesla’s huge business in that country over content that appears on Twitter? Because it’s going to happen."

This will happen and not only with China. Just think about Bezos, the Washington Post and Saudi Arabia. But on the other side I think Tesla and SpaceX shouldn't do business with dictatorships anyway. So maybe in the end this will be a good thing.

=== Cut needless words ===

The article references Covingtons How to Write more Clearly, Think More Clearly [...] Powerpoint presentation [1]. I highly recommend it!

A fun part in that presentation is when Covington, in a series of steps, revises this sentence...

“One of the best things you can do for yourself to improve your writing is to learn how to cut out words that are not necessary.”

..Into this one:

“To improve your writing, cut out unnecessary words.”

OPs article calls for more words to provide context. But by revising you can often cut the length in half.

> In the end though, I won't miss the stupid cars that go up and down my street farting at 120db for no freaking reason because the owner "Want car go vroom!"

I consider myself somewhat of a car enthusiast and I absolutely hate the mentality of "Loud = Good". They just remove their muffler and then rave about how good their car sounds and then later rant about getting a ticket for their car being louder than legally allowed.

I love the sound of flooring it in my Model 3 Performance. From the outside, all you hear is tires on pavement. From the inside, I hear a slight "whoop" that quickly goes up in pitch as a few hundred kilowatts get shoved through the motors. It's quiet and sounds futuristic.
Amazon is absolute shit lately. I have been a happy customer for a long time and there have been experiencing some trash.

1) Fully agree on the trending down customer service. I have bought 2 things recently that went on sale after I purchased them. Support refused to give me a price adjustment... and they agreed that I could send back my item and buy another as the only other option. Absolute waste of time and money for everyone involved. On another occurrence, I bought a razor, opened it up and the blade was bent, I asked if I could get a new one, they are making me send back the old bent razor. Are we really at a point where I need to send back broken things that end up in landfills? I spend thousands of dollars on amazon items that I keep, do they think I'm scamming them out of a single razor blade? I bet a few people have ruined it for everyone else

2) My echo devices have turned into home invading advertising robots. I use them to control my lights, I'll be putting my daughter to sleep and ask alexa to turn off the lights in her room.

The most generous interpretation so far, but the bar is low. To accept that applies here is to accept that what is going on in Iran right now is entirely being orchestrated by outside forces and the citizen protesters have no agency. I'm familiar with this worldview, and I know the ilk that spread it.

4090's TDP is 450W, and it demonstrably runs on 850W PSUs.

If the cables are rated high enough and the PSU is large enough, there is no wattage that is "less valid" than any other. The 3090 TI from the previous generation runs at 450W too, it just uses 3x6+2 cables rather than nvidia's fancy adapter.
The photon actually experienced only one minute* and you one hour, that is what the clocks would show. The photon sees you one hour older and you see the photon one minute older.

It is like the waterplanet in the movie Interstellar (I think it was that planet), where they spent a short while on the surface and the person in space aged decades.

It is called time dilation [0] and there was a rather interesting experiment done by Hafel Keating [1].

I wrote a 98,000+ word novel in Markdown. Pandoc renders it perfectly to Word. The text included a title page, epigraphs in italic, headers of various levels for parts, chapters, scenes. All I had to do in Word was make sure my paragraph styles were set up the way I wanted (and that Pandoc knew what they were supposed to look like), then run a macro to get rid of the cr/lfs between paragraphs.

I don't know if the novel was any good, but it looked good. Markdown was certainly adequate.
Very few designs are actually that difficult to reproduce. The important thing is knowing the ratios of resources/buildings that need to be made to stay efficient. You can pretty easily calculate that by hand (but why would you) but there are tools online where you can do that.

I mean here we are using markdown in hacker news comments where there won't even be any formatting.

But before "new reddit", everyone was using Markdown in reddit as well. And no, not everyone who uses reddit is a programmer

Is "civil disagreement" what's feeding the current US political system ?

What's been driving me nuts is they took away the ability to toggle comments to the right of the video, so you could scroll them while viewing instead of having comments below the video necessitating scrolling the video out of view while reading comments. I thought that toggle was relatively new too.

Anybody still waiting on the intel 820 linux drivers?

The odroid-h3 looks like a nice kit, but lack of expandability and obsolete onboard components (wifi, video, sound, etc) were always better served with expansion options for all of the components and peripherals, especially for those raised with desktop computing.

The prices of some sbc's are reasonable, but the stink about soldered CPU's from a decade or so ago still holds true.

I remember getting a gigabyte mobo with the 479 cpu in the early 2000's and rocked that kit for a decade as an HTPC, router and general use PC. Just popped in a quad nic, video card or used the default onboard components for basic browsing/word processing.

Some PCIe slots for expansion takes the mitx (and smaller) designs much further. Case form factors have seen their own evolution, but internal PCIe to external PCIe enclosure would rock in 2022. Especially at some of the pricepoints.

Its just easier to install linux supported components/hardware for the best experience.
As a passive observer of the various manifestations of cancel culture, it seems generally more focused on throwing away art and honors rather than technology.
As I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I'm a contributor to gitea and have no ownership in the new organization. I genuinely would like some clarification to the points in the letter, as I'm trying to advise the owners and understand my future with the project.

It seems like the demands are:

> Implementing an intuitive and fair election process.

I think we do that now: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#...
Anyone who has contributed to the gitea project more than 2x PRs is invited to be a maintainer. Every maintainer gets 3 votes.
Maybe there are some suggestions for improving - please open a PR.

> Describing the ways in which democratic decisions are to be made.

Again, I'm just confused what's being requested. Moving on.

> Providing accessible places where all relevant information can be found.

This seems like the same request as above. Or maybe a request for better documentation. I agree. Open a PR, don't fork gitea.

> Establishing a DoOcracy that works and continue to improve it.

I agree with this and I suspect that was the intention with the original reference to DAOs, but needs to be clarified.

> A non-profit organisation owned by the Gitea community is created.
> The Gitea trademark and domains are transferred to the non-profit.
> The name of the company is changed to avoid any confusion with the non-profit.

Does anyone have experience with how this is typically handled? It seems like this is the only actionable request. What are some examples of non-profit open-source companies? Is that typical?

> If you're a prospective first-time house buyer you've had to deal with the fact that your dream home is now likely to be 15-20% more expensive than it was last year. Now your mortgage rate is likely to be higher too as average 30-year fixed mortgage rates are getting close to touching 4% in the US, the highest reading for almost 3 years.

I think this going to vary by market. I just bought a house in Portland and home prices are already back on track from where they were at a year ago. They at least match a linear scale and compare to already established averages in the area. Generally, and this may be the bias of 2008 in my mind, values won't fall that far below what is the average of your area for a sustained period of time for long.

On the other hand traditional mortgages are requiring buyers to buy two points up front, which gets you to 7% (or 6% when I was shopping). So, on that front it's pretty bad.

The question you have to ask yourself if you're looking at buying right now is: Can I survive a recession under these circumstances.
Likewise, I recommend Invidious, it's clean and sane. There are a lot of things missing but that's a feature not a bug.
I actually had an ODroid H2 that failed maybe 6 months ago (not by any fault of its own really, it was installed in a "difficult" environment and probably got much hotter than was reasonable). I went shopping around for a newer replacement and was surprised to find that the market of very small, e.g. nano-ITX embedded motherboards has basically dried up and at that point it was very difficult to find something that was even comparable with the H2 at the same price point. Much of what I was seeing were $150 boards with very old Celeron chips that underperformed the H2 (due to being older designs mostly, but still being manufactured). I think ARM adoption is large enough that there's not much of a market for x86 embedded boards that isn't heavy equipment that's very price insensitive, and even then the fact that most of the options are built around 9 year old processors suggests that this market might be mostly legacy products.

You could probably save a bit of money, but I would guess not more than $40 or so, by buying a motherboard and socketed processor separately, a more conventional PC setup. But these usually aren't readily amenable to completely passive cooling which is an important criteria for me (and off the shelf passive coolers for even modest TDPs are expensive on their own), and it's also hard (maybe impossible?) to find the dual network interfaces in a setup that would come in below $165.

In my case I ended up going with a NUC and external RAID controller/drive enclosure but it was an appreciably more costly setup-admittedly for a much higher end processor, but I think I ended up at around $500 before buying drives for the external enclosure which of course ended up as the largest cost.

The application is a video surveillance NVR, I wanted x86 as the commercial software is Windows-based and not built for ARM. 2.5GbE network interfaces were not important (the bottleneck would be the archival spinning drives well before that), but dual network interfaces were as the existing setup was based on a dedicated surveillance switch running off the second interface of the NVR and I like that this is a simple setup with fewer configuration points than a VLAN hosted on the core switch (there's a reason most commercial appliance NVRs are set up this same way).
Is it a news? Well, maybe in typical gaming website, but is it a hacker news?
I suspect the reason that Tesla dropped the lidar sensors and just using cameras for driving is that FSD is too far away to be adding those subsystems and a camera system is the best we can do at this point and works well enough.
I'm seriously suggesting that denying someone's place in society is denying their existence, yes.

Conservative government officials, media commentators and militias are regularly attacking transgender people with real-life consequences. It's not just legislative attacks and information campaigns, but harassment and violent attacks.

It's a culture of hate, and there is no excuse for it, and it should be called out.
>What makes Musk "right wing"?

He has self-defined long ago as left-wing. Not surprising given he lived in california and started an electric car company. Though in many interviews he tried to assert his position is far less on the left-right spectrum. Which is really the global way it works, it only works this way in the usa.

But he had a post recently.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1519735033950470144

You can see he self-defined himself here left of center in 2008; but in 2021 he's more right of center. His assertion isn't that he changed but rather the left-wing changed. How he ended up on the right-wing isn't very relevant to the point which identifies him as right-wing.

The context however of why the left has moved so far left has everything to do with socialism dying worldwide. The person you were responding to has a username of socialism. So what he sees from his far-left position is someone on the far right equivalent and this is why they must hate elon.
Where do you see the anger in my message? I thought that the "stroke" part made it clear that my comment was facetious.
Yes exercise helps, and has benefits besides burning more calories. But unless your calorie surplus is small, it's not going to be possible to "burn off" overeating by exercising.

If you need to burn 3,500 excess calories to lose a pound of fat, that means you need a 500 calories per day deficit for a week. A single fast-food burger such as a Big Mac is more than that.

Generalized, you can't make up for bad diet with more exercise.

And, you need a calorie surplus to build muscle. So if you are trying to get strong, you need to eat.
> The Tesla Model Y is currently the best selling vehicle in Europe

This is like saying that Mercedes E class is the best selling vehicle.

The majority of new bought cars are people's cars. When you have the majority of new cars replaced by luxury cars (model Y) this shows something different. (i.e only the rich can buy a car,).
Before I started buying Oni Denim I walked into a Levi's store in my neighborhood and nothing was made out of denim anymore. Everything had stretch fabric, or were 60% cotton with a blend of other random things. It sucks that beautiful quality denim costs that much these days, but they look great and I wear them nearly every day. These definitely will last 20 years though!
I would like a website to randomly disply abstract paintings in different orientations and survey on which one feels the "rightest". For some reason the right side up Montrian in the article does look more correct in my eyes.
Wow, this is 80% as fast as my decade-old gaming PC. Now, if only it had a PCIe slot that I could plug a discrete GPU into, I could cut our electricity bill by a few percent.

Edit: A sibling comment suggests looking at bee-link. It's definitely slower than my gaming PC, but it is getting close with integrated graphics, and is in a comparable price bracket to a hypothetical O-Droid-H3 with a PCIe slot:

Bee-link GTR6 6900HX: $539. incl. board + cpu + integrated GPU + case

O-Droid-H3: $465 ($165 + $300 Radeon RX 6600xt). incl. board + cpu + incompatible PCIe video card

https://www.bee-link.com/catalog/product/index?id=383

It'd be within a factor of two of the old upgraded desktop and the H3 + discrete GPU, but in a much slicker package:

strings.Compare is mostly used in trivial demonstration programs, and is there because bytes.Compare is there. It makes https://pkg.go.dev/sort#Find documentation simpler. Deprecating strings.Compare would make sort documentation worse.

Real code tends to not be that trivial, and that's why real code most likely shouldn't be using strings.Compare.
The photon's frame of reference is at the speed of ligh

Thats the part I dont understand. From earth point of view the photon (or the spaceship) goes at speed of light (or close to it). But from the photon point of view, the earth is going at speed of light. If thats not the case, then speed isnt relative its absolute: photon goes at speed of light, earth does not.
Fork it and move on. Humanity has shown it’s all about control of ethno-bubbles.

Our biology seeks power and influence. Rent seeking.

Stop giving it to these ephemeral terms, logos, memes, and importing the gibberish of outsiders, giving them influence.

Don’t give them anymore attention, fork the repo. The people behind these projects are just people. They’re not owed fealty and chance after chance given this behavior happens all the time and users complain all the time when they do. Stop feeding the identity of the sorts who do this. They’re figurative nobodies and random meat bags of billions. Treat them with the same lack of respect in return. There’s no making nice with this kind of agency. Flip it off and walk away.

> anything related to the open source world bubble up into the public I am only reminded of high school and college level social drama.

That's because open source washes its dirty laundry in public. The same things happen behind closed doors in companies all the time, it's called office politics, and yes, it is exhausting.
That was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, thus the “(estimated)” part.

Hooray for the clarity of sarcasm in text. Sigh.

I know it’s not that bad. A standard wall circuit can’t supply that much power. But I find the power levels graphics cards have gotten to crazy and think that’s what we should be solving, not how to supply them more power without things melting.

Factorio is a very hackerish game.
It's right there in your quoted text.
As an outsider this is not compelling. Claims aren't substantiated or given context (I would expect links to promises and explanations of how specific actors have violated them). There is also a lot of work being expected in the form of non profit companies and organizational structures and seemingly very little volunteering to do that work, which to my eye is immediately suspect.

I guess I'd expect this document to better substantiate why being elected puts this duty on these people, and why that claim is more significant than if I elected the author of this letter as Viceroy of Bringing Me Lunch?
Factorio is like meth for hacker brains; this post is just a PSA that we need to lock our switches away if we want to be productive.
The Vital Question is the only book I've read cover to cover. I got through about 15% my first attempt and decided I had forgotten too much chemistry to truly appreciate it.

A few years later I undertook an intensive chemistry self-study for reasons unrelated to Lane. After that, I was ready to tackle TVQ again; this attempt went a lot better. Truly loved it and got me thinking and reading related peer-reviewed papers.

I've been thinking about which of his other books to try next but I've gotten to a point where I actually prefer to do problem sets in early/intermediate college-level organic chemistry! Will check back in with Lane in a year or two.
