I'm far from an expert on Maori culture but central to their worldview is the concept of "mana", which is essentially spirit. Your own mana and that of your ancestors was incredibly important, and that mana could be imbued in items.

Exchanging gifts of mana was a big cultural/social tradition. It seems reasonable that a valuable and distinctive item like a feather cloack would have had a lot of significance and tradition surrounding it. That doesn't mean there were cloak specific prayers but I doubt the ceremonies were completely baseless.

When they talk about the ceremonies and personify the cape (which does sound a bit odd the way it's written in the article) I'm pretty sure it's referring to the spirit of the previous owners, and I'm not surprised that Maori with a traditional sense of spirituality would find a lot of religous importance in that.
The 2022 model. By real sleep mode, I mean suspend-to-RAM, or S3. A few years ago, Microsoft declared that they will no longer support sleep mode, and will just call S0 mode "Modern standby" so they can keep doing telemetry nonsense 24/7 when people think their laptop is asleep. Dell saw this and decided that they don't need to support S3 mode in the BIOS any more because they don't want to put in the effort just for Linux users.

Came to the comments to note the same. And to add that several has very poor color contrast.

They look great, but I would warn developers to use them as inspiration but not as-is.
By "ML" you really mean "neural networks", and ML is like Bitcoin - there's still no good business use for them, even after all these years.

(Business probably just wants Bayesian inference instead, but that's too hard, let's go hardware shopping instead.)
Capitalism and communism don't directly invite people to murder or harass who identifies with a different race, creed, gender or political idea (or, at least, they don't do so directly).

The white supremacist, neo-Nazi, antisemitic and homophobic, on the other hand, does. And that's the core problem.

As a tolerant society, we have the obligation to push back on the ideas that are EXPLICITLY violent and intolerant. That's where we draw the line. Everything behind that line is in the gray/white area, but we shouldn't compromise on what is beyond the line.

Civilized societies are held together by tolerance and mutual respect. If we start compromising on this founding principle, and legitimize the spread of racially or ideologically motivated hate, and the harassment of people that did nothing wrong to us, then we have lost civilization.
Everyone I know had a Blackberry. No one I know has a Quest2.
It was used sporadically in sports contexts, usually the kind of sports where you go flying and get injured if you F-up (skiing, skateboarding, etc). It gained mainstream popularity when a dude with a snowmobile used the phrase in a viral video in the 2010s.
"blue" in Vim. Great contrast, sufficiently aesthetically pleasing, strikes a nice balance that seems to work in high or low light.
I think this in the category of things that would be plausible to estimate. AFAIK there has never been a Manhattan Project level investment in abiogenesis.

Of course there are quite a few steps from suitable RNA synthesis mechanism emerging to LUCA.

But until we get CERN level investment into research on abiognenesis I don't think the matter can be considered impossible to solve.

The outcome might very well be that chance of life emerging is close to zero (I don't believe it, but it's just a belief, nothing more). At this point we can only conclusively say more research is needed.

If someone is in the field I would love to hear recent details.
Good luck with returning!

I would like to read an explanation from professional electric engineer about how this sound may be fixed if it occurs on my device.
Completely forgot about. Saved my day today, after struggling with crazy java limitations for 5 days.

it pretty much works the same way it does on Android because Apple just doesn't really enforce its App Store rules. Chinese users heavily indicate that they'd switch to Android if WeChat would suck. So the short answer is, Tencent has enough leverage. Also iphone share still isn't that big, like 20% of the market I think.
>Suspend to disk?

Not even that. Suspend to RAM is gone. It was perfectly fine, until someone had this great idea that PCs should behave like cellphones: just turn the screen off, meanwhile stay awake and connected. Hopefully it means doing the minimum necessary to receive and notify emails, but in practice this means the laptop will decide it's time to run the antivirus scan, do your scheduled backup and perform all kinds of maintenance right when your laptop is in your backpack and you're on your way to work. Microsoft calls it Modern Standby. I think there's also a degree of pushing on the manufacturers' side, as it's not purely an OS thing: sleep states must be enabled at the BIOS level for the OS to use them. Lenovo allows enabling the "legacy" sleep state, Dell does not.

As far as I know, it's still no less of an issue to this day.
The first amendment means that the government(s) cannot prosecute you for what you say. But there are exceptions:

- You can be prosecuted for the effects of speech, e.g. inciting people to riot/commit crimes;

- Threats of violence are not protected;

- Misleading claims in advertisements are not protected;

You can still be sued in civil courts for libel/slander, or the effects of your speech.

And people have the right to shun you if they don't like what you say.

It does not mean that a publisher is obligated to publish your speech. A newspaper does not have to publish your letter, a blog can delete your comments, and Facebook or Twitter can delete your posts or even suspend your account.
The team gets only four downs, not five, to pass the first down line and reset it.

I'm surprised that people don't remember how silly twitter, twitting, twit were considered by serious people when the service launched back at the end of the naughties.
If you're being paid $300,000 it is. Some overtime expectation in reasonable or unforeseen situations is not unusual in many places. For blue collar and minimum wage service workers it can just be a way of life.

The idea that an employee doesn't think think they need to work overtime even though the company has just changed ownership, because they think they know better than the company owner what needs to be done, view his requests as "whims", and believe that because the owner had comments and opinions about the company that singled out no engineer or manager by name that they therefore should be allowed to disregard this direction, is one of the most entitled things I've ever heard. Doubly so if they were one of the ones who had spent the past few years personally shitting all over Musk publicly.
elaborate on what specifically? There are plenty of academics talking about blockchain = bad. If you took a CS course, likely people were invested themselves or do not see it that way, f.e. if they either care about making money or a libertarian idea of freedom which sees government as bad, and needs 'uncensored' money.
Because one can break gentlemen agreement against people with lower social status. Also, because low key bullying or lying about or whatever of people with lower social status is acceptable for gentlemen.

> You have answered your own question. should never have started this business.

Listen, I'm sure it sounded like I was attacking you, but that isn't what I wanted to do as I know what I feels like and that never helps.

I'm sure you have a lot on your plate right now, and I wanted to just say that these things happen in startup-land, it's not the exception it's the norm you aren't a bad person for that.

Internalize and learn from this, but don't let it get you too down after that. Just be honest with yourself and your team and go from there.

Starting over is like getting over an intense relationship, in the moment it seems insurmountable, but with time it gets easier to want to try again.

Best of luck!
I read every flagged article to know what is really going on.
I use i3 (standard, no gaps), so the tabbing mode works particularly well as a replacement for window tabs. I can probably go up to twenty windows open on a given virtual desktop in tab mode with no issue. I usually use a 24" 3840x2160 screen in 100% mode and zoom in the content. This works well enough even on my 14" 1920x1080 laptop, but I avoid doing "serious" work on it, since I don't like being hunched over and the screen is a bad joke.

Yes, when there are many tabs open, at some point, I can't distinguish them easily anymore, especially on the laptop. But the same happens with tabs. At least I can scroll my mouse wheel to change between them, which didn't use to work with tabs.

My coping mechanism is saving the tabs I want to keep for later as bookmarks. Getting back to them has the same kind of probability as when I used to use tabs. But the win of this approach is that I don't have open webpages hanging around eating resources.

I've also found that there are basically two ways I use my computer:

1. I'm just randomly browsing, and I am going to open a zillion tabs (say while browsing HN) but then I'll read them and close them sequentially. No jumping from one to another, so the tabs being small is not an issue.

2. Having several windows open that I all need while working. In this case, I'll set them up in some tiling setup, usually an editor / terminal where I work on one side of the screen, and multiple browser windows in tabbed mode on the other. I then jump back and forth between the two sides. If I need to access a specific browser window that's not visible and there are too many open to know where to click (which does happen, but rarely) I'll just use the jump to window function of rofi in fzf mode where I type in a part of its name and press enter. This isn't perfect, but it works well enough for me. Since i3 doesn't have an included "go back to previous window", I had to hack this on my own [0]. This could also be implemented by using window marks, though I've never tried that.

Other alternatives exist, but I thought it was fun to build my own.
No, the government is requesting something to be taken down. Short of the exceptions mentioned up above, the platforms are not obligated whatsoever to follow those requests.
btc is probably the worst as it will never move from PoW. And only has the price it does due to bridging to other chains probably.
It's natural for people who explore a lot of topics to feel this way. There's a certain kind of person that you'll find a lot of here on HN who is constantly exploring stuff. Inevitably, not everything is explored to deep familiarity.

It's a natural consequence of the T-shaped skillset: you've heard of everything but you don't feel like an expert in anything. Even the thing that forms the height of the T, anyone who drills down anywhere knows there's further to go.
What? This is disastrous!

How do I check (from Linux) if the laptop can go into suspend to memory or not?
Stay safe. All the best for you and your family.

The Ventura Problem
Reddit, HN and other online commentary platforms where contributions get "scored" are thoroughly deserving of an honorable mention when it comes to fostering groupthink.
We should be careful to identify the right problem here - there are some standards that more or less everyone agrees should be kept. Someone has to moderate the platforms. But governments are the home of the most politically charged people in society. The moderators should be as distinct from the people who control the military as is humanly possible. It is a critical control of any free society that people can criticise the military freely, and the people who control the military as well. The risks of corruption in the military are off the charts high. Civilisation endingly high. Potential end of humanity high with the weapons we have today. Their flaws must be understood.

The people who control Twitter should be free to decide what standards they enforce. The problem with Twitter's censorship was that the standards were stupid and hypocritical, bound to make embarrassing mistakes (there were a lot through COVID) and alienate around 20-30% of the population of the earth. But if they want to sink their own platform that is acceptable.

But the problem with a special government portal is that it is corruption of genuinely important free speech principles. They shouldn't have a special portal. They should have multiple layers of indirection dampening their influence.
how long have you been here? some would for sure.
> Politicians, social media, business, however, totally failed

Hear, hear.

> “Science” was ok

Yes and no.

"Science" was """politicized""", possibly in the sense the poster used above. That would not be "Science" anymore. What happened is, ignorance was allowed to taint and prevail. Of course, while all around there was havoc, researchers honestly researched.

On the other hand, «“Science” was» not «ok», since there where we needed a concerted effort to clarify a situation, for the purpose of sound decision making in a structured framework, i.e. a model in which "We have a ranked and structured list of important questions; these are the tentative provisional answers" - this leadership related goal failed. Far from having obtained dashboards of information in form of rough functions of risks, improved through time, depending on, say, "room cubature" and "surface of openings" and "time of permanence" and "protections used" etc., the leading relevant bodies of leading relevant countries probably still present in their websites "Wash your hands" (for real - this is not an hyperbole, I have seen it).

Some evidence of disconnected efforts appeared, together with a chasm in divulgation, between research and public - especially in the said basic need of a "structured presentation of progressive tentative knowledge so far". It is a failure in "journalism", because we need to access digested information, not "the journals".

I think you’re whining about not getting something you were never promised.
Glad to see that Evan You has stepped up with a response. When these 10x improvements were presented without a release of the benchmark code I was very sceptical.
Vercel, do better! You champion yourself as a leader in the OSS React ecosystem, so please act accordingly. This has eroded my trust and excitement for your products.
I suppose it isn't, but the categorization is a bit different. For example, Drake takes a concept called "civilization" as given, wheres I stated it's plausible extraterrestrial life would take similar pathways as in terrestrial evolution, and that other terrestrial species have minds that give them in some ways behaviours quite similar to our own (hence increasing the likelihood of extrasolar life having familiar characteristics). The categorizations I listed were in the "self organization emerging from complex systems" tune of things while Drake equation is a bit more hierarchical. But yes, same thing I guess.
The original claim for which I asked a citation was "This is yet another example of an org that has been taken over by political extremists"

The link you provided makes the claim "Wikipedia pages are biased in their descriptions".

Those claims are not the same, thus your reference does not support the claim. I don't really care either way, but it is dishonest to refer to sources which don't even support the claim.

We can't agree because you appear unable to support the original claim, use dishonest and emotionally manipulative discussion techniques ("Of course it's all subjective but this is kind of what I mean that people like this destroys. If we, the other people standing by, cannot even get along to call shit out when it appears then we are royalty effed.") and Whataboutism ("Would you be as apologetic if Wikimedia would donate money to people who spread nazi propaganda as well?") to attempt to spread your worldview.
Solid advice, commenting here so o can go back and find this info later

Tagging and categorizing are two subtly different things to do. Having dealt with a lot of real world data, all I can say is that getting your hands on consistently tagged or categorized data is hard and gets harder the more data sources you have.

A real world example of how tagging can be both super useful and get out of hand is open street maps. The only meta data allowed in there are tags. The OSM community depends on people using tags correctly. But of course the tagging is incomplete, inconsistent, and subject to regional and data source specific variations. Which makes interpreting the tags a bit of a dark art.

But it still adds up to a very complete and rapidly evolving world map. So, there's that.

I've had the pleasure of seeing the documentation for Navteq's internal meta datas schema that they used for their maps while I still worked for Nokia Maps, which at the time owned Navteq. These days the whole thing is known as Here Maps. This was a PDF of around 4K pages. Thousands of attributes. Lots of weird little details related to traffic lights, subway entrances and exits, and other features you have on maps. This stuff gets complicated quickly.

Two very different approaches to the same problem. I think I like the OSM way a bit better. Neither is easy.

My job at the time was trying to align some of that data with data we got from external data sources like TripAdvisor, Qype, HRS, and a few others. Way too much time got invested in dumbing down categories, mapping one to the other, and trying to make sense of stuff. We had lots of issues with duplicate POIs because of all sorts of subtle differences in how different data sources were annotated with categories, tags, etc. Some of the data just isn't that good, complete, or consistent and you have to deal with that.
How did it become normal in software to refer to describe your own work as beautiful?
The thing to realize first is that alcohol is more addictive than many other substances. And it can affect anyone. There is a pretty sinister in my opinion psychological trick that the alcohol industry has pulled. They have managed to convince society that anyone who has problems after routinely consuming alcohol has a severe genetic defect.

What other drug is looked at this way? None, because they don't have the marketing budget of the alcohol companies.

I feel like that actually makes people somehow subconsciously want to prove that they can "handle" alcohol. Like avoiding it is admitting there is something wrong with them.

But addiction is real of course. And regardless of your job it can destroy your life.

I think to survive you must seek medical treatment if possible and concentrate on a plan to stop and avoid relapse. I think this probably should involve some type of medication. But long term you need one or two other habits to reach for. I think a really key thing for most people is exercise or sport. For me, I really enjoy table tennis in VR.

What I have seen from closely observing someone with alcoholism is that they don't have a real plan and alternative activities or medication or anything. I think the hardest part is that the addiction will make them avoid those types of things that could get them past the hump.

But aside from that, just realize that all of the commercials of drinking in bars and standing around etc. is marketing material and not something you need to model your life around. There is again perhaps a psychological trick for marketing is that you need to have a certain number of friends to drink with each weekend and that drinking will help you accomplish that. It's nonsense. And just because it's popular doesn't mean it's not the worst way to waste your time.

Check out Demeo in VR. Very easy way to jump into an interesting game with people.
There are multiple accounts indicating the Norse settlers on Greenland were, in fact, settlers more than anything else. Erik the Red settled on Greenland after being exiled, after all. Adam of Bremen's mentions about Vinland indicates that knowledge about the area was wide-spread amongst the Norse. Still, no major settlements had been attemted in his time despite the fact that he wrote it down no less than 75 years after Vinland had been discovered.

That being said, the Norse seem to have grasped how vast the North American continent is, if nothing else by describing the various natural features they found noteworthy. They also apparently got into a conflict with the locals.

My guess: L'anse aux Meadows was a logging and resource gathering operation. Logs are not easy to come by on Greenland and shipping them from Europe would have taken longer than getting them from Newfoundland.

Does any of this exclude that the Norse explorers went further than we could ever imagine? No, but a litterate explorer from 990's Scaninavia would most likely have used the younger Futhark rather than the old one. The inscription in the article uses the old one.
This is amazing work; interesting to use "designable" molecules to perform functions otherwise performed by proteins; and he even implemented his own Lisp version to support the design process. These are the things I like to read on HN.
This page does a horrible job of explaining what it's about.
This seems more like a gallery of art/starting point than a "use this as-is", so I'm sad to see this comment on the top of HN since as a show of what can be accomplished with checkboxes it's amazing.

We front-end devs would benefit from a lot more works of art like this, and then people trying to implement them into real systems would need to make them accessible. Similar to how we benefit greatly from Dribbble. If we don't allow for unrestricted just artistic bits like this, then creativity suffers.

Counterargument to myself: the click to copy though makes it seem like it's ready to use, and many newer devs would just use them straight away. It's on the hands of more senior devs to tell them that these snippets, similarly to many StackOverflow ones, need to be adapted to integrate in an actual app for things like accessibility, uniformity, etc.
