Show HN: Restore old Gmail theme with uBlock Origin filter list
I made this to restore the old GMail inbox theme once the option to "Go back to the original view" was removed. I still have that option but I've seen reports that others don't anymore, so, here it is.

Requires uBlock Origin; click the "Subscribe to the list" from the github link. Tested on firefox.

There's a weird bit of induced demand like widening a freeway, makes errors less often than a human but is more scalable so the absolute number of errors increases. I guess in the case of self driving cars, it could be from hordes of autonomous shipping trucks that outnumber existing truck drivers.

Two enormous cyberattacks convince Australia to 'hack the hackers'
Thank you so much for this.

For some reason, shipping containers are unlike every other market... sellers refuse to advertise their prices! Take a look on craigslist: nearly every ad either has a fake price ($1, $1000, $999,999) or else says "call for pricing". The only place I've seen with real prices is a printed-on-dead-trees farmer's newspaper.

That website is what is so hard to find: straightforward pricing updated regularly.

I need a shipping container at some point in the next year but I'm in no hurry. Now I can just check this site every week or so to get a feel for when prices have bottomed.

Anybody know why the container market has such weirdly opaque pricing? It's a nearly-ideal commodity...

Unionization is the 2nd amendment of labor law.

The 2nd amendment exists because every human has a right to sacrifice themselves meaningfully to fight tyranny. Guns are a proxy for power, and the 2nd amendment says that citizens have a right to some power. Since citizens have a right to some power, our government cannot get too tyrannical because there would be consequences.

The right to unionize is the right to use the threat of force (collective bargaining) against tyrants (CEOs), exactly like the 2nd amendment is the right to use threat of force (use of guns) against tyrants (people who rule as kings).

Unions are the representation of the idea that employees should be able to exercise meaningful power over their CEOs, in particular to demand better wages and conditions.

Without collective bargaining, why would a CEO ever have to compromise or negotiate except with other CEOs? If multiple companies acted like a cartel, how would employees be able to fight that without collective bargaining?

Why are wages generally proportional to the job, and not proportional to a companies profits?

Just like in software, the structure can be sound, while the implementation is poor. I think a lot of the problems people have with unions are implementation detail problems rather than structural flaws.
It's exactly what they want. They think that NATO won't attack Russian territory because of nukes. But direct NATO participation in Ukraine will be a victory for Putin's fascists regime in Russia. They will be screaming "we told you so", "NATO aggressive expansion", "bla bla bla", etc. This would be a justification for them to convert Russia into a total shithole like North Korea, but with "gods" at the top of power hierarchy.

> This U.S. proof-of-concept project is experimenting with the concept of a regulated liability network. It will test the technical feasibility, legal viability, and business applicability of distributed ledger technology to settle the liabilities of regulated financial institutions through the transfer of central bank liabilities.

Am I reading this right, to translate "central bank liabilities" as reserve balances at the Federal reserve?

If so, why bother with a distributed ledger?
right, that's pretty much what I said. We have A LOT of space that has no cell reception at all.

We don't have to ask about which carrier, though. That information will come through automatically along with the subscriber's information. Even a cell phone with no active plan can still dial 911, regardless of carrier or model.
> Prompt: lecture notes about p-adic machine learning

In p-adic machine learning, the p-adic numbers are used to represent features.
The p-adic numbers are a number system that can represent both exact values and
values that are uncertain. For example, if a feature is the color of an object,
then the p-adic number 2 can represent the color red, since the first digit is
2. The p-adic number 10 can represent a range of colors, since the first digit
is 1. The p-adic number 20 can represent a narrower range of colors, since the
first two digits are

> The only barrier for higher stakes applications is going to be the frequency of errors.

Frequency and strength. My issue with e.g. image classifiers is that when they’re wrong, they’re catastrophically wrong — they don’t misidentify a housecat as a puma, they misidentify a cat as an ostrich.

And a bank is not the ears of corn in the analogy. The thief here is FTX which is like the bank. You don't blame the corn for being stolen. Yes, blame the thief.
Interesting post. But much more important question: Why is boilerplate code still a thing? Either create a library or a code generator. The difference of a code generator is, that you don’t edit the generated code, just the parameters of the generator. Boilerplate code or scaffolding is just a nice word for „copy and paste with slight modifications“

> It takes literally 0 imagination to avoid nuclear disasters altogether. A handful of people in the entire world need not to do something extremely stupid. They can leave their special keys at home, overwrite the codes with baseball scores in their mind, and no nuclear apocalypse will happen. The fact that this has not happened is not due to a failure of imagination. That doesn't mean the reason is good, obviously, but doesn't the idea that we should be blaming a pdf seem a little silly to you?

Have you a gameplan to cause this possible series of actions to manifest in physical reality with zero chance of failure?
The funny thing is, Overwatch 1 monetization wasn't any better. They were notorious for popularizing[0] loot boxes in paid games and got flak for it.

In the third example box of the "Immutable Updates" section, I believe the text '(joe,dob,"Joe Bob") ===> Answer' should be changed to '(joe,dob,"1978-01-01") ===> Answer'.
The CLI and nomenclature for the staging area (what should be called "draft commit") is awful, but the actual concept is very easy to understand.

I seriously doubt anyone who uses a sane interface to Git (e.g. a GUI) has any trouble with clicking + to add changes to the draft commit before committing it.

Most GUI tools let you automatically add all changes before committing anyway so you don't have to know anything about it if you don't want to.

They just needed to name things better (what is a "soft reset" again?).

Not that I think these folks want mainstream appeal, but if you want mainstream appeal, stop federating stuff! Nobody cares about privacy and control over their own information nearly as much as privacy advocates think they do, and if even one thing is slightly harder as a result, people will simply never adopt your tool or technology.
Consider also trying git-crecord, which is a port of he's curses-based partial commit interface.
The subreddit for stablediffusion has several examples of high quality stitching of SD-generated images. If I am interpreting your vernacular of "studio artist" correctly, then yes, studio artists will be affected.

Artists that produce a "real" medium like charcoal, sculpting, etc. aren't directly affected yet, but could be in the future.

As always, there is a power law distribution when it comes to perceived value. It will be interesting to see how this evolves.

I quit OW when role queue was introduced. It felt like Blizzard was forcing a certain "meta", and while it might have been necessary for high-level play it seemed awfully restrictive at n00b level I played at. It didn't help that Mercy, who I played a lot, was balanced to be "not fun" around the same time.

For me OW2 commits the same major sin that Warcraft 3 Reforged did. Replacing its predecessor with no option to play the older game as it was. I understand not wanting to split the community, but if someone doesn't like OW2's 5v5, or monetization, or whatever, their only option is to quit.

Also, given that OW2 made every cosmetic more expensive to acquire, it's only natural that people would draw comparisons and get mad.
I think that first graph shows the price to ship a container ("blended" over several routes), not the cost of the container itself. "Drewry’s composite World Container Index".

Note that right at the moment the cost to move a container across the ocean is almost exactly the same as the cost to buy the container (see the second graph at the same url), for several routes. So it's easy to mix them up.
it's assumed that everyone will be at home when a nuclear disaster happens, but it would probably happen on a weekday early in the morning, when kids are in the school, wife or husband is at work, and the chance that all of us get safe to the bunker is small.

The weight issue with glass is a good point. At some level we may need a subtle cultural shift away from individually packaged items. The other day i saw individually packaged eyedrops. The packaging was more mass and volume than the product, and probably contained sketchy plasticisizers.
If we can shift to renewables and electric trucks for overland shipping, it would at least help.

Question: I am jaeson watts why am i sad
Answer: I am jaeson watts why am i sad is a 2009 children's book by American author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats. It is Keats's second book for middle-grade readers, and it was released on August 27, 2009 through Random House. The book is narrated by a boy named Jaeson, who, after receiving a book that reads "I am Jaeson watts why am i sad", begins to question why he is sad.

Synopsis
Jaeson is a middle-school boy who is unhappy with his life. One day, while playing a game of baseball with his friends, Jaeson receives a book from a stranger that reads "I am Jaeson watts why am i sad". Jaeson is intrigued by the book and
I don't think that's all of it. Politics has continually gotten more polarizing over the 20 or so years. I don't think this is the worst it's ever been in the US, but it definitely seems like the Trump era is the worst it's been since mass adoption of the internet. Because of things like 24 hour news networks and social media, we're also reminded of our differences much more frequently than we used to be.

I think politics is just a bigger part of peoples' lives now and we're seeing that play out in real life as well as in internet communities.
running cp/m on a 32-bit arm running at 133 megahertz with 264 k of sram, 2-8 megabytes of xip qspi flash, and 4 gigabytes of flash on sd card, is not challenging, though it might be useful

i routinely ran cp/m in 48k or 64k on a 4-megahertz z80, which is about 0.6 dhrystone mips, on one or two 100-kilobyte floppies, with transfer rates of about 1 kilobyte per second. i think cp/m will run in 16k

this arm is as fast as 250 of those machines, it has as much ram as four of them, as much offboard xip program memory as 64-256 of them, and 40000 sssd floppy disks worth of storage, which furthermore can probably transfer data at 10 megabytes per second, ten thousand times as fast as the floppy

also the z80 didn't have a pio programmable i/o pin driver, it had to handle i/o interactions itself instead of outsourcing them to a channel program in pioasm, which slowed down computation

yes, if you're emulating a z80 on arm that entails some emulation slowdown, but it certainly isn't 250x. it might be 8x. if you do dynamic machine code translation it might be less than 2x

instead of calling it 'tinycpm' he should call it 'giantcpm'
I didn't read it as them dismissing "battles" per se. But more or less saying that even if a particular battle was lost, another battle would have occurred because of the industry backing.

IE In reality, XYZ battles occurred. In an alternate reality if some of them lost, then we'd have new HIJ battles that won instead - because industry.

What would have happened if USSR lost "the enemy at the gates"? Did they have the industry to "do it again and win this time"? I honestly don't know, I am not much better than pop culture.

But I do heartily agree that pop culture lacks perspective on the USSR involvement. Partly because Hollywood contents travels world wide and partly because no one sees Stalin as someone they want to attribute "success" to, in particular because of the way it was done. I mean, Hitler probably had some good traits(maybe he was nice to dogs?), but no one wants to be the one saying that...

A lack of dynamic range in judgement as it were.

> stop federating stuff

Another conclusion: Federation alone isn't enough of a selling point. Federation must also be a key unlocker of other features. Perhaps more branded/tailored sites for different audience segments but which can feed into each other in meaningful ways might be one way to pitch it. But dropping federation entirely is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Genuine question about both this and Mastodon, since both have the same "decentralized, join/start the instance that fits your interests" fundamental principle: isn't this just exacerbating the filter-bubble effect that cranks up polarization?

Like, is it really a great thing for mending societal bridges that folks can choose between a server for leftists or a server for hard-right folks and that split ensures that one never interacts with the other? Is it really no longer possible to have conversations happen between folks that disagree, to the point that we want to ensure that there's no chance for such conversations ever to happen, even by accident?
> the fact that one «side» in modern US politics is objectively literally a collection of «bad guys»

None of those emphasised words means what you think they mean.

In that regard your comment is what I would objectively consider a bad comment on HN (and against the site guidelines too), but it was still useful in the broader sense of the discussion.

Thanks, I think I get the spacetime part. I was not very clear previously. Here is the transcript of the YT video I was referring to:

> Next, Einstein also showed that if you have any particle which moves slower than the speed of light, then you cannot accelerate it to faster than the speed of light. You cannot do that because it would take an infinite amount of energy. And this is why you often hear that the speed of light is an upper limit.

> However, there is nothing in Einstein’s theory that forbids a particle to move faster than light. You just don’t know how to accelerate anything to such a speed. So really Einstein did not rule out faster than light motion, he just said, no idea how to get there. However, there is a problem with particles that go faster than light, which is that for some observers they look like they go backwards in time. Really, that’s what the mathematics says.

Anybody who doesn't "disbelieve the efficient markets hypothesis" isn't paying attention.

NRGV ("Energy Vault") was trading at a $2.4B market cap less than a year ago, and are now at $0.4B, still radically overpriced. Their product was an obvious scam before, then they pivoted to another obvious scam. The only way their stock could have any legitimate value would be if they still had $0.4B in cash, and could be prevented from squandering it. All perfectly legal, apparently.

Same for fusion startups. (It is just barely possible that Helion could have value.) Kyoto Fusioneering builds equipment to use in fusion startups' sham demos, and provides a conduit for dumb VC money into the pockets of startup founders and VCs who invest in it. All perfectly legal, apparently.

Ultimately the only thing that really matters is whether the client feels good when they pay your invoice. Charge twice as much for half as many hours, or the reverse, it doesn't really matter. Deliver results at a cost they are ok with.

The tricky part is how to bill when you have expended effort and time but there are no results to show for some reason.
