I'm speaking specifically about social media; like the one Google shut down because it wasn't viable. Facebook/Meta still don't make money for most their clients they simply promise returns and marketing depts have to utilize them because everyone else is and it's mostly fueled by leverage.

In my experience, advertising isn't worth it if you aren't a large corp. with access to debt and require a presence and even then it's mostly a loss leader.

How about working for shorter periods of time? Why is there such a crunch to work so much?
Using the word "regime" is a dead giveaway. Neo-libertarians use it to refer to the "oppressive" laws, norms, and basic human decency. It's in the way of chaos, which they use to extract advantage from.
I found that I am good at long periods of focus but tend to have a hard time getting into them without falling into distraction.

My current solution is to:

- minimize distractions (I mute websites and use an extension to block youtube/reddit/facebook),
- have a background music that drown out noises (there are online generators[0] but I found a particular song plus rain noise combination [1] to be a great fit for my brain)

between you and me, I wanted to use the "keylabel" terminology to get away from negative connotations with "stickers" being on your keyboard..

I do moonlander keycaps just as a first-off; they are just stickers, so they could be put on any keycaps. Good mention of the SA blanks though, do you know the (rough) dimensions of them and how many you might need?
It would secure their position tho and make elon appreciate them more.
Which services will people flock to? Mastodon and the Fediverse? Matrix? WhatsApp? Back to Facebook?

I think you seriously overestimate how easily people change. Likely, because you aren't afraid of it. Most are and would pay to keep from having to do it; especially if you incentivize it with an improved experience.

I'd agree people will switch to free platforms if too many changes take place at once as it would basically be the same thing as finding something new. I.E. Payments + Verification + Everything X whatever app crap. etc.
It could be that there are really two people with the same name. Take Chris Evans, who played Captain America and also Chris Evans, who was a host of Top Gear.

Ask HN: What's the best way to control a cursor from the keyboard on macOS?
I'd like to minimize my need for a mouse but there are some tasks which are just so much simpler with a cursor. I do have some mouse keys setup with Karabiner so that holding "k" and pressing esdf moves the cursor, but I've found this difficult to get used to. I have a few different keys to modify the speed, but it just feels way too convoluted and effortful to to control the cursor this way.

Overfitting can happen in many ways -- your training objective can be different at train and test time, or as you suggest the datapoints you use can be different at train and test time.

For overfitting induced by datapoints: If you include the datapoints in your problem specification, then you can say they induce bias at test time. If you treat the choice of training datapoints as a random variable, separate from the problem specification, then you can say they induce variance at test time. The difference is essentially semantic though. In general, you can freely move contributions to the error between bias and variance terms by changing which aspects of the modeling framework you define as fixed by the problem definition, and which you take to be stochastic.
The goal of ENS isn't to add new bells and whistles; it's to do the same things DNS does, just without the censorship (see Sci-Hub) or rent-seeking.

I don't see how Virgil's story implies some kind of reliance on centralized services? Yes, if a domain owner is unavailable, it will eventually expire; that applies to ENS and DNS equally.

Documents and humanity in general are complicated and various. You're never going to be able to fully encapsulate the complexities of a document into any (structured) DSL as a result. The recommended approach, failing all other options – even to the semantic people – is to use some standby element, such as DIV or SECTION. Unless you're including people who would say "just change your document to not do anything not representable by Semantic HTML". Add to that, that the list of supported elements aren't even close to approximating what you'd write in 50% of documents.

Edit: A lot of people saying you might have ADHD. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion or worry about that. Don't spend time chasing down a diagnosis unless you really, really need the medical assistance. It's probably our modern attention economy: the Web has trained our brains to seek diversion after a few minutes. Call it ADHD if you will, but then pretty much everyone who spends time online has it. It's healthy and "normal" to take a breather / quick break every so often. It lets the mind decompress. The trick is training yourself to do it only when that break won't interrupt a deep stack in your brain that you have to spend a lot of time rebuilding later.
Phone cameras have improved phenomenally and are great webcams. You can even clip them to your laptop if needed.

For webcams we now also have eye/head/movement tracking, automatic background insertion, and other improvements (as well as added features like turning you into an animated cartoon character) although arguably those are from webcam software rather than hardware (though there are examples like the Apple Studio Display webcam which uses their neural engine hardware.)
No ADHD diagnosis here, but to me amphetamine feels essentially the same as the feeling I get on a very productive day, only stronger and constant.

I often wonder how companies make so much money selling advertising. I don't think I respond to advertising, but hard to know for sure since I get exposed to it non-stop everywhere I look.

Practice long periods of not having stimulating activities around you. Just sit and be bored for a few hours at the end of the day.

This will increase your baseline dopamine for normal activities. When your baseline is too low, you self medicate by going on Reddit which spikes your dopamine for a while. Taking a break from stimulation lets your brain accumulate dopamine naturally

> So what does it mean if you have <i> around Chinese, or Devangari or what have you? Do you just apply shear to make the text slanted?

Actually, yes! <i> is still defined in the standard to use the italic font style: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#phrasing-content-3

And if there isn't an italic version of the font (often the case for Chinese etc), https://w3c.github.io/csswg-drafts/css-fonts/#font-style-pro... says the browser should programatically shear it:

This! I have been watching the show too and had the same exact question. My conclusion is that, when they launched they had one deal, so technically they were streaming music legally and music to which they didn’t have rights was not being streamed(although who really knows about the last part being true)

However what I don’t fully follow is why Spotify,as portrayed in the show, have to pay 70% to the record labels?

Also why are the artists not making money? I think one scene in the last episode indicated that the artists had made shitty deals with the record industry and hence they payout to the artist was low. It’s like the artists don’t own the music but instead they sign the rights away when they sign a deal with the record labels. I understand thst that’s how the music industry worked and record labels are the middlemen and collect the “rent”. However what’s stopping artists and Spotify to work where they simply eliminate the middlemen. Artists create the music. Post it on Spotify. And any revenues are split. Even if the split is not equal both parties get to make more money given that they get to keep what would otherwise be the record labels share. Why is this not possible?

One last point, the record labels,today, still stand to make a lot more money as there more songs pre Spotify that post Spotify and the listeners still want to listen to those. Eg if you grew up in the 80s you still want to listen to Micheal Jackson or Brittney spears today. and thst music is only available thru a record label today. However fast forward 20-30 years a lot of listeners will be post Spotify era and thier music could be the music that does not come from recod labels assuming Spotify starts revenue sharing with artists today and keeping the middlemen out of new music. All in all it’s about who owns the largest catalogs of music. Today and previously, most of it is in the hands of record labels. As such it’s quite centralized. but tomorrow it could be decentralized. And artist get paid based on how good they are.might still not be perfect but seems like a hell of a lot better than the record label based business model. There was probably a time when that business model made sense. When distribution and promoting a artist was hard. When the world worked pre digital speed. Today that business model just reeks of a cartel/robber Barron- esque behavior.

Don't leave the desk for extended periods of time. You might not be able to control you mind but you certainly have more control over your body. Just take water, food anything you need and don't leave your desk for an hour. This can really help in the long run as slowly it becomes a habit.

What you say more aligns with my thoughts. I've never heard someone express the opinion in this article. Then again, I don't know anyone quite as knowledgeable about the jvm as this article is.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Even if all miners right now colluded and tried to take bitcoin from my wallet - they couldn't. Miners can collude and try to double spend the transaction, hurting centralized exchange for example, but they can not ever take funds from a wallet. You own what's in your wallet.
Also, price doesn't depend on miners. Very often in these bear markets miners mine with huge loss. Many give up in those circumstances. If they had any impact on price we wouldn't see so many miners go out of the business.

Debugging and maintaining code is to be avoided at all costs. You may prefer writing code as a developer, but it doesn't provide value to the people paying your paycheck, and it doesn't result in better outcomes than simple composeable actions.

Bankruptcy isn't always a bad thing. It can be a good thing, depending on how you use it.

People who do not understand bankruptcy laws often perpetuate wrong myths. Bankruptcy is just a legal insolvency mechanism to stave off problematic creditors, while you find way to handle assets against the liabilities of the company. A bankruptcy isn't always the end of the world, and smart businessmen know this.

Musk has a ton of people advising him on legal issues. It's possible that he's making the wrong business moves, but the fact that he's publicly seeing ahead at the possibility of bankruptcy, tells us that he's navigating the waters cognisant of avoiding it rather than to ensure the outcome arrives.
xterm is (arguably) implementing ECMA-48 wrong: replies to out-of-band strings (such as OSCs) should themselves be marked as out-of-band (by embedding them in an OSC/APC/DCS/PM, terminated with ST not BEL). Instead it is replying to an out-of-band command in-band.

However, I think the design of the Unix tty subsystem is also at fault here - out-of-band messages (OSC/APC/DCS/PM) should be filtered out by default and only delivered to processes which explicitly declare that they are expecting them.

That said, if zsh is putting the tty in raw mode, it is saying it wants everything the terminal will send it, so it needs to do that filtering itself.

Would any of the company really benefitted from this kind of analysis. NFLX serves Petabytes of data for a particular use case, majority of the Tier 1 companies would not have 100Mbps of traffic for their top service. Maybe there are 5-15 companies globally which will get value from this and they all will support for this.

I have seen far more companies wasting resources on the projects of no value because the stakeholders believe themselves to be of same level as Netflix, Google.

Usually because of dependencies. It's fairly frequent to add tens of megabytes when you pull some SDK or frameworks... Most of those functionalities are of course not needed at all, but unless you design a library with small binary size in mind it's very hard to automatically prune out those dependencies.

Would you believe Binance if they came out and said that the Tether redemption process works as stated?

From the trustnodes article, there's a link to: https://etherscan.io/address/0x1E65141A6ea081F382B737141137f...

There, we see the Alameda and FTX transactions, which we know the Alameda transactions are for redemption and we know FTX (via Sam Bankman-Fried) says redemptions work. We also see that Binance has sent the same sort of transaction (e.g. From Binance 4 to Bitfinex 3).

You started with: "Can you give an example Tether actually doing redemptions?"

I sent the trustnodes article.

You then criticized it based on the ongoing Alameda/FTX fiasco. Sure, that's all a mess and any statements like "FTX is fine" were nonsense and there's zero reason to trust them with your money. But, does that mean that they lied about their experience redeeming Tethers?

It seems that for some folks the only way they'll ever believe things like, "Tether does redeem for USD" is by actually going through the process. For Tether, that's a process requiring $100,000 to figure out. And if it works, why would you bother posting about it on the internet when Tether itself continually reminds people that redemptions are being processed?

> fyi, arguments become immediately less convincing when they include "m$"

OK... but deviantbit's comment clearly presents Microsoft as the victim of corrupt government officials, which isn't really compatible with calling it M$. It seems more likely that the use of M$ in "Democrats were going to do anything they could to destroy M$" is to present M$ as a label given to Microsoft by the Democrats in order to make it easier to attack. He's trying to tell you that arguments based on the epithet "M$" are or should be unconvincing.
I am not a big Go fan, but it surely is miles ahead of C in terms of language security, and those null pointers are checked, I rather have a crash than a silent memory corruption (segfaults or coredumps don't happen in all platforms with C's null pointers).

So if the choice is between C and Go, for userspace code, Go is the answer.

As proven by UNIX father's design of Inferno and Limbo, where C is only allowed in the kernel and DisVM implementation.
I've found it harder to concentrate being back at the office more post pandemic. Since someone may always pop in to ask a question, the mind always needs to be in a kind of surface / ready state - able to quickly jump into a random topic. It generally seems easier to get into a flow state when working from home (or working from the office when no one else is there).
