I guess it depends how much value you put on being the first. I saw the "first" AI painting sold, I saw the first drone with a gun attached, and the first drones with explosives used in warfare and I don't consider any of these art. Some things are incredibly obvious, and not in the way that you can look back at old research and misapprehend how difficult it was to create at the time, but in the sense they have been part of our psyche for years or decades and all it takes to create them physically is a bit of metaphorical glue. I don't consider that novel.

I guess if someone thinks it's art then it's art, and I don't say that to denigrate it. I'm not the authority on what is art or not.

I just don't get the the casual tone, the seeming lack of intent, and the deathly severity of it. It makes no sense to me.
I find the MISTer or anything from Analogue so much more compelling than any official offering from Nintendo, Sony or Sega.
"Watergate."

"But her emails."

"Sandy Hook was completely fake."

"Transgenders want to enter women's bathrooms to commit sex crimes."

"COVID is caused by 5G technology."

Tell me how these helped Nixon's presidency, Hilary Clinton's election chances, the grieving parents who lost children at Sandy Hook, transgender acceptance, and COVID vaccination rates.
So 2 years after inventing excellent COVID vaccines, why aren't they available world-wide? (Honest question)

Too true. The only reason to use monospace is to line up the characters.

If I don't need characters lined up I can use just about any font there is.

So this font is not competing with monospace fonts, it's competing with all non-monospaced fonts, so there's really no advantage in using it.
Granted, I am a weird tech literate guy who wastes his time on hacker news, but what other capabilities does a phone require? I check my email, browse a few websites, use something for messaging, and call Uber/Lyft. How would superior phone specs improve my life? At this point, the next step is to slim down the software, the hardware is more than sufficient.
And now tell me again we should not get rid of the fossil fuel industry - or at least weaken them significantly by not buying their black dirt and having alternatives.

If they do things like this for soccer fun because they are bored in their desert... Imagine what they do and try on politicans, scientists and other individuals for their other interests. Imagine what they are willing to do regarding the spread of well designed FUD and FLICC disinformation about climate science. Imagine how much money that you pay for fuel or energy is pumped into influencing the masses. Imagine the effect on the life of your children and grand children.

Drgn: How the Linux kernel team at Facebook debugs the kernel at scale - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29537594 - Dec 2021 (125 comments)
It's not clear to me from the article if that 90% down number includes refinances.

It says that the effects are "particularly [pressuring] firms like Rocket Mortgage that thrived on loan refinancings" but I don't know if it's reading in too much to assume that the WF pipeline it's talking about is including both.

(If it includes refis that's still bad news for the mortgage interest but way less indicative of soon-to-fall prices since rates have generally been below the current point for about 20 years, so no small wonder nobody would refi now.)
I imagine that if you travelled in Palmer Luckey's circles, you'd understand that the line of thinking is "The Metaverse is going to be so awesome!"

It's really not, the reason that Metaverses have failed for 30 years straight is that there's not actually a lot of value in a place where "everyone can be whomever they want to be" because that's only skin deep and an awful lot of people fail to distinguish between how they present themselves and who they really are. To give an obvious example: the SCA, the society for creative anachronism, has a system of peerage; there are lords and ladies, dukes and dutchesses. That's all well and good, but a sizable minority confuses their play-world politics with their real world standing, and act like royalty while working as janitors.

Yeah, I could hear that into my late 20s, but at some point, I lost that range and it's been replaced with tinnitus. If I'm not listening to music or talking to somebody, I hear a constant tone around 10-20kHz in each ear. Not the same tone, of course. For the longest time I'd hunt for the damned coils whining away, with no luck, and I can't actually hear the ones in that frequency band anyway.

Linux systems hasn't changed a lot in the last 4 years or os. We mostly run Ubuntu LTS at my work and the 18.04 -> 20.04 -> 22.04 deltas have been really low on the server side, and not that significant on the desktop side either

I'm not sure whether the experiment is failing or not, but this is quite a biased article:

They enlisted an entire country in a publicity stunt and cheered on Bukele even as he ordered mass arrests and packed the Supreme Court, which subsequently ruled he could run for reelection despite a constitutional ban.

The mass arrests have nothing to do with the Bitcoin experiment? El Salvador notoriously has a big organised crime problem.
What's obvious here is that these people are drunk with power. Most of the conversations revolve around social engineering or extracting as much money as possible from Twitter.

Ansible and Chef are inadequate tools for the job that cloud server boxes do.

What is needed but is sort of missing:

- A way to run containers. I see that *BSD may have had container-like features (e.g. jails) long before Linux containers existed. The truth us that the prevailing format is Linux-style containers. Ideally one should be able to run ready-made containers in Linux compatibility mode. An ability to build a native container from a Dockerfile is as important.

- An orchestration engine based around containers. Ideally a port of a subset of k8s, but smaller tools the class of Nomad or Docker Swarm would be a good start.

- A good replacement for Docker / Podman / Containerd, preferably with a modicum of compatibility / convertibility from those. You want an easy local development environment.

I bet bits and pieces of it sort of kind of exist, and the kernel is capable enough. Now someone should put (quite) some effort in building that for real, releasing under a reasonable open license, and maintaining it for years.

This is to say nothing of (desktop /laptop) hardware compatibility yet.

"Data driven" is something I've seen occasionally from execs as an excuse to not have - and particularly, not commit to - a plan.

A lot of times it's much easier to find data to give you reasons not to do something long-term (very similar to investors focused on short-term results) than to confirm the value of committing significant resources to long-term bets.

Other than "keep milking ads" is there any clear strategy Google's consumer business has shown? Android looks like a good example of executing on that ads strategy, but other things that seem harder to tie to ads directly tend to languish since nobody there actually knows what they want to do in other areas: chat apps? Stadia? Random things like Cardboard? Consumer G-suite? I'd say even assistant/home stuff is languishing (where's the big money maker).
I'm not going to judge which one is better (though I personally prefer espresso, it's a matter of preference), but coffee brewed with different methods definitely tastes differently. Coffee brewed at higher pressure (3~4 bar for moka pot, >9bar for espresso) tend to taste way stronger and more flavorful (which is why they're drank in lower quantities)

This is not quite right. CDs use a forward error correcting code, and of course that means you can detect errors (how can one correct errors if they can’t detect them?). The CD drive most definitely can distinguish between an error free signal and a marginal one - both at the analog level and the digital level.

Most CD drives firmware are a bit inconsistent in their ability to correctly provide error correction information but this is not a fundamental issue with the technology and far from “no way to know” - relying on the drives error detection facilities is what the C2 error detection option in EAC does for instance. There are some drives that do well with this.

Likely people will take their houses off the market and rent them out. With mortgage rates going up and liquidity drying up, a lot of prospective buyers are deciding they're going to sit tight in a rental. That puts upward pressure on rents and gives an incentive for sellers whose desired price can't be met with the new rates to just sit tight and collect rental income.

Same thing happened when buyers disappeared in 2020 - most of the more marginal homes just got taken off the market, and either rented for a year or given a fresh coat of paint and some renovations to sell for a few hundred K higher in 2021.
That's true. Though I guess that when my parent comment referred to "admin", the were referring to the admin for the homeserver (the one routing the messages), which is different from the one hosting of the web client.

This is why services like Matrix and Signal open source their client. Because for security minded people, securing the client is much easier than securing the server.

This is a big deal. Honda sells more step through scooters than anyone else. Particularly in SE Asia. Also it has pedals which technically makes it a moped/electric bicycle.

That said, it's a Honda. You can trace the current 50cc and 125cc step through scooters all the way back to the 1960s particularly the engine-frame bolt pattern. This makes interchangeable parts safe to design and manufacture as there's an enormous market for them. You could call them the Chevy small block 350 V8 of motorcycles.

Honda finally releasing a 50cc equivalent electric moped will instantly create an entire sub market of compatible parts and, unlike every other ebike manufacturer out there, Honda will still be there in 20 years, and you'll be able to buy parts for this off the shelf in 120+ counties worldwide.

These are the words from the artist himself:

> At this point, it is just a piece of office art, a thought-provoking reminder of unexplored avenues in game design. It is also, as far as I know, the first non-fiction example of a VR device that can actually kill the user. It won’t be the last.

It's not satire. He's creating shock art.

The fact that he took a suicide helmet beyond a literary invention and into the real world is unsettling. It's an inability to distinguish what is wholesome from what is depraved. At the root is the artist's failure of imagination; an inability to imagine how completely revolting such a thing of fiction would be if it were real. The man spend likely hundreds of hours of thinking on it, ruminating on it, like suckling on a candy, and then, rather than being turned away, giving it shape, willing it into the world with the same zeal. That is why people find this skeevy.

It is fascinating, and I'm not sure if in isolation it may mean all that much. But people will respond very different to the morbid obsessions of an eccentric crackpot like say HR Giger than that of a tech suit with a history of monetizing VR and AI-weaponry.

You become what you behold. This man is becoming machine, willingly.
Its important to note: China was extremely late to the mRNA vaccine game. The vast majority of their population was vaccinated with traditional inactive virus vaccines, which have been observed to be less effective than mRNA. Their mRNA vaccine, Walvax's ARCoV, is still in phase 3 trials.

They're among the oldest populations in the world; using outdated vaccine technology; on a population that's the most dense in the world; and a governmental culture of understating statistics to make the party look good.

It just feels a little hard to find a satire like this funny when it's written by someone who founded a company that builds autonomous weapons of war. Like, someone who has made it his job to make it easier for the military to kill people... yeah, no, I don't find his satire about technology that causes death all that funny. You can't be a part of the problem and then satirize it. It doesn't work that way.

Rent also comes into play.

But just like any market the prices may not be connected to those fundamentals. It depends on expectations.

But yes, the perfect storm was always going to be rates going up and a recession and if this isn't the perfect storm then what is. Well, my house is up 40% since I bought it exactly two years ago so I think I'll survive (I knew I was taking some risk). [EDIT: Not in the Bay Area]

You need to be vaccinated to travel to many places still, and given how many people are opposed to vaccinations, their passport doesn't have the power it used to.

There's a patchwork of masking policies, which I've recently read are applied as arbitrarily as "you must apply your mask mid-flight when the airplane crosses over the international border of your destination to adhere to local covid policy" (this was for a large country in Asia).

Even in California there's still Covid Opening Instruction sheets pasted to all the doors. I even saw a new "please maintain 6 feet distance from others" sign in the grocery store today. It feels this modern parallel to abandoned soviet theme parks. Weird covid-era policies just there lurking from some eerie event in the past.
