> Humility is absolutely essential when offering to help others and organically receive help from others to mutually cover everyone's gaps across this functionally infinite canvas of knowledge when taking down objectives together.

I don't know... Humans have a very strong tendency to promote cultural norms that will make them successful. So the socially focused "humility experts" want to make the game about humility. One of their IMHO less ethical moves is to sabotage others who do not want to play their game.

I'm good at writing software and leading software teams. I want the game to be about that: the software. I have no problem what so ever with people being proud of their work. I'm not going to refuse to help someone because I don't think they are humble enough. It would never even cross my mind. It would defeat the purpose: creating great software.
> Unless you eat while sleepwalking or something, you do have full control over how much you eat, and I don't think anyone who only eats 2000kcal/day ends up weighing 300lbs.

If you have ever been desperately hungry you will know that this is not true. Being hungry is akin to suffocation. You can't help but breath in when you are suffocating, even if you are under water. When your hormones are telling you that you are starving you can't help but eat even if you are dying from obesity.

It's a good point, but I would say it's not awkward, just expected unless exceptional circumstances (for example two single persons sharing a flat and having similar interests at that time). Like any relationships, friendships evolve with time, you might get close at some point but things change and you are not in touch much for the next few years, and then the situation changes again and you are back closer. Don't you think?

I see this happening especially when people get in and out of intimate relationships. I think it's just life...
Interestingly, both HHS and IRS have law enforcement arms that are extremely effective and could be used more extensively in these cases, but they're overburdened dealing with things like opioid prescription crimes (which are worthy of prosecution, but could also be handled entirely within the DOJ). Folks I've known in those agencies are often frustrated by the fact that they're not spending their time going after complex white-collar frauds that they're specifically equipped to handle. Like you say, it's like Anatole France's old line about the "majestic equality of the law" forbidding rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges.

Show HN: Widget.json and Widget Construction Set
My friend and I just finished this project last week. I'd love to hear your feedback.

widget.json brings a dynamic window to the web to your device's home screen. It's kind of like RSS for widgets, you make a widget.json for whatever web data you want and then subscribe to it in Widget Construction Set, our iOS widget.json viewer.

We've made image of the day and word of the day widgets, Youtube channel widgets that show the latest videos, RSS widgets, Prometheus counter widgets and more. You can imagine a GitHub CI widget showing the last build status with a link to view it. Friend groups could make a shared scratch pad of text and images. Househoulds can make a shared TODO or grocery list widget. Widgets can use local device launch schemes which enables widgets to initiate text messages, calls, emails, shortcuts apps, and more. With this, you can make a widget that shows images of your favorite people and when you tap their image it FaceTimes them. If you're worried about Twitter, you could even make your own one-way Twitter replacement where your text and images show up on your followers home screen!

Ideally, sites add a widget.json feed alongside their RSS feed. widget.json files have a one-click subscribe link to easily add them to Widget Construction Set. This gives sites and creators a simple, direct connection to their users without the need of building a separate app or having their users remember to visit their site. For Patreon or other user-supported creators, they can offer private widgets that are only granted to their supporters.

We couldn't figure a way to make a business on this, but we liked what the technology enabled so we're releasing it all for free, with the exception of a one-time $2.99 purchase to view private widgets. Though since the widget.json format is open, if $2.99 is too steep, people are free to make their own private widget viewer as well.

While low-power has been the selling point for MSP430, in practice I understand the shitton of effort poured into making ARM power-efficient has allowed them to surpass MSP430, see e.g. https://www.eembc.org/ulpmark/ulp-cp/scores.php
The land owner would make more money 1) cutting the trees and selling the lumber, 2) turning the land into farm land or grazing land, and then finally 3) erecting a wind farm than just doing #3 by itself.
What data are you looking at?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in...

There is a definite bump in the last couple years (likely covid-related) but we are still at about 1/2 the rate of the 60s/70s/80s, and roughly 1/3 the rate per-mile driven. Even by total deaths, fewer people died last year than in most every year of the 1960s. The increasing safety standards of the modern road system (cars and infrastructure) should be applauded as an engineered success story.

Roughly two or times as many people die each year of alcohol abuse. If we are going after dangerous evils there are better areas to attack.
Great article. Especially needed since Yosys is very difficult to use.

One tip, maybe. Yosys's Graphviz output is frankly incomprehensible shit, and Graphviz isn't very good at laying out these sorts of graphs. But it also can output the information to JSON with the write_json command which lets you use other better tools, e.g. https://github.com/nturley/netlistsvg
Analogy aside, just because the process has been evolutionarily optimized it doesn't mean it's the most efficient way of doing it. There's a lot of other evolutionary pressure where energy is expended in ways that don't benefit obtaining the arbitrary end product.

Say synthetic wood as your example, I would be willing to bet that a dedicated system that extracts CO2 for the carbon and combines it with water to make cellulose could be made more efficient than any type of photosynthesis. You can sell carbon credits and oxygen on top of that too.
True, but (some) ATtiny are still available in beginner-friendly tth DIP package.
This is the problem; every compiler outcome is a series of small logic inferences that are each justifiable by language definition, the program's structure, and the target hardware. The nasal demons are emergent behavior.

It'd be one thing if programs hitting UB just vanished in a puff of smoke without a trace, but they don't. They can keep on spazzing out literally forever and do I/O, spewing garbage to the outside world. UB cannot be contained even to the process at that point. I personally find that offensive and rude that tools get away with being so garbage that they can't even promise to help you crash and diagnose your own problems. One mistake and you invite the wrath of God!
something something house of cards
I agree, none of these companies are crypto companies, just centralised scams. In fact, this is not the end of crypto, but is exactly the opposite. This is the "real beginning" of crypto, as now the benefit of decentralisation and transparency are being understood by a larger number of people. So all in all, this is great news for the crypto industry!
I'll agree that crypto self-custody isn't really something the vast majority of folks can safely do. That said, self custody of crypto is different than self custody of fiat currencies.

With fiat currency, you have to physically store the cash in 1 location. With crypto I can store multiple keys to my crypto on physical devices that require a pin to unlock (and reset after a few failed attempts). I can store my key across multiple locations in such a way that n of m copies of the key are required to move funds. I can require a waiting period before moving funds. I can require another person to approve the transactions in certain scenarios (ex: moving large amounts of funds).
The basic deal is that in the presence of undefined behavior, there are no rules about what the program should do.

So if you as a compiler writer see: we can do this optimization and cause no problems _except_ if there's division by zero, which is UB, then you can just do it anyway without checking.
Your comment continues to presume that there is a specific correct value or range of values. That's simply not the case. The list of potential reasons is long because there are a lot of contributing reasons.

What are Twitter's goals pre-buyout? Are those the same as Twitter's goals post-buyout? What are the decisions the company makes in pursuing those goals, in each of those contexts?

Analyzing all the decisions that brought Twitter or any other company to a specific count of employees is an extensive undertaking, and would require extraordinary memory and honesty of a huge number of people. And you'll still have a giant pile of decisions that could have gone either way depending on slight changes in conditions.
Much of the federal spending on these categories is deficit spending.

> The maybe is obviously not considered in the context of this discussion thread about ML.

What do you mean by that statement? The only thing ML can do with a decision question is report "maybe" with some confidence. For example, "I am 98.3% sure this image has a cat in it, with respect to the data sets I was trained on" or "I am 77% confident this source code misuses a web request API, given the examples and non-examples of misuse that you have shown me."
RV32E seems dead in the water - no value, no movement, no uptake. RV32I* is ... a dumpster fire, and I say this as someone helping shepherd both silicon specification and reusable software components for it. Really basic things like "how interrupts should work" seem to be a matter of personal taste (and the specs are ... awful, like RFC-by-undergrad awful).

By contrast, and for all its faults, AVR is well-defined and stable. This removes a substantial amount of risk from a customer perspective. Once you have attained a basic level of competence in delivering something on AVR (and most major players did this 20 years ago) you can repeat this in a relatively predictable, consistent and low-risk fashion. The same cannot be said of RV32I*, where every new implementation has to be treated as a from-scratch bringup.

Consider the (relative non-)success of AVR32. Not a strict 1:1, but it brought very little to the table in terms of relevance to 8-bit AVR customers, and added a bunch of risk and overhead.

Obviously there are customers for which COGS is king, and they won't be buying AVR. Ditto those where engineering technofetishism is a consideration (gotta motivate your devs, and if new toys are what does it, then you have to factor it into your plans). But there are (clearly, since they keep making money with the product line) others for whom AVR's strengths make good sense.

Switching from AVR to RV32I* would destroy the product line from that perspective. Which is probably not the "opportunity" you were thinking of. 8)

1. Grass costs nothing, it's already there and we can't eat it. You have to shred it so it doesn't grow too high anyway.

2. Again, pastures are already there, nothing else is on them.

3. Perfect, that's more jobs, but I know small family farms with 100 head of cattle with no extra ranch hands.

4. Not really, unless they are very large farms, but at very large scales making artificial meet will have challenges too, much more complex than shoveling shit.
(This comment brought to you by a verifiable human with real biases free of charge by Y Combinator.)

I think it's much simpler to start with a risk-based calculation. That is, you have to evaluate what the "risk" of believing something is, which fundamentally is "what harm will there be if I act as if this is true but it is not" (severity) times "the probability that this thing is not true." (likelihood)

And then when you take the two part proposition that

1) In the attention economy, truth or evenhandedness is not valuable.

There are many people who will gladly and purposely mislead you to gain your attention, influence, votes, dollars, and (in extreme cases) your permission to commit and/or condone violence, crime, hate, etc. against others.

That is, the likelihood that what you are reading is not true (by commission or omission) is very high. At best, it will be partially to mostly true.

2) Most people view content as a form of wish fulfillment, not critical analysis. They're happy to delude themselves and avoid any introspection that what they believe is wrong.

That is, they completely discount the severity of believing something not true. They've already "amortized" that into their decision to read the content they do - they know it agrees with their beliefs (even if they're both wrong.) And even if it is a bit wrong or extreme, see point #1: so is everything else on the Internet.

It's easy to see it has nothing to do with "critical" "ignoring" - most people have already done a very uncritical "ignoring" at a macro level by creating filter bubbles and only see things they want to see, and those spaces are saturated with folks from #1 who convert that wish fulfillment into revenue streams.

No easy answers here, we're tribal apes navigating a low-trust environment.
Thinking about it, market fit would be the latest point to hire an experienced adult. Preferably from one to two levels below the role a start-up is hiring for, e.g. director level for a VP position.

Maybe hire earlier, as soon as an adult is needed to set up proper structure, processes and operations. If a company screws this up, e.g. when inexperienced founders hire former COOs and senior VPs from big names for those big names only, things can turn south pretty well.

Wasn’t their updated version a modified version of Microsoft’s original code, which they’d licensed from Microsoft? If that’s true, their PSXSS was more an enhancement than a “replacement”.
The problem with paid proprietary code is that it almost inevitably devolves into a bloated mess of haphazard features being tacked on year after year by contractors who don't care about how hard it is to maintain, and don't even care if it works well because they don't need the code themselves, and the people buying the code don't use it, because they're buying it on behalf of a company and the people who actually use it just have to suffer through it.

I think the one thing that would help open source more than anything else is if we outlawed contracts where the employer owns all copywritable material created by the employee.
I am wondering how big of an impact on meat quality have viruses/parasites the animal has to overcome? Would they lead to more high-quality proteins/substances than otherwise? Or is it the other way round? Will we need to simulate those pathogens in the lab to improve quality?
IMO this is the #1 takeaway:

> I was trapped in a ‘normal’ mode of conversation - making small talk, being inoffensive, feeling aversion to being weird, respecting where I thought other people’s boundaries were.

If you want something else, you gotta let others know somehow! Everyone's life is different and has differently shaped spaces for relationships, interaction, etc. It's very common for people to be open to growing closer to some of their social circle, but be unsure about who to focus on. It can be you if you simply indicate you are also interested!

On the other hand, I think this is more wrong than right:

> A point I’ve made throughout is that this is a skill.

Calling "Growing closer" a skill suggests it is a craft that 'you should' practice - but it's not. Growing closer requires work and attention and you will get better at it over time - but to think of it as a skill "you are doing" instead of a mutual process that advances only at the shared pace you are getting into manipulation. "Growing closer" is measured by the combined 'distance' by which you and the other person have adjusted your lives to be closer to one another.

Maybe OP means that having deep and vulnerable conversations is a skill - and THAT I would agree with, but it has nothing to do with growing closer! You can have deep conversations with strangers (in fact it's often easier to have them with strangers).

People who discover the power of intimacy in our atomized world risk accidentally leading others to believe they want a deeper relationship than they have the capacity to maintain.
Cultured meats are a competitor to the meat industry, which is a major contributor (but sure, not the sole contributor) to deforestation.

Technologies that financially out-compete those industries until the land is most valuable as a forest are each one step in a permanent, game-theory stable protection for forests. Once you've pulled something superior out of Pandora's box, there's no putting it back in, and no need to use regulation to force consumers to chose that more efficient option.

A regulatory approach is only as strong as the social capital and government enforcement that you can muster to put those protections into law, it does nothing to eliminate the old selfish incentives to exploit those natural resources. The instant that you look away, that the regime changes, or you run out of social momentum, deforestation will resume.
It's the USDA that will regulate the actual manufacturing and processing, not the FDA. As the article mentions that process hasn't started yet. It's hopefully quicker/easier than the FDA safety approvals however.

I've seen this argument get eaten, partialy digested, spit back up, then go through 3 compartments of a stomach and it still doesn't make sense when you actually think about it.

If the intent is actual sustainability, then they have to be given their full 20 years to live. The cattle themselves act as carbon sinks too and have to be part of the whole ecosystem, not only exposed to one part of it. If you're constantly slaughtering them and replacing them, it's not doing much. It just sounds nice.

>it costs a bit more

"A bit" is an understatement.

>The herbivores are key component of sustainable agriculture, you can't do it without them.

You can't. But you have to do it without eating the vast majority of them.

The Myth of Regenerative Ranching:

>[...]

>If regenerative agriculture were to challenge the mainstream food system, it would run into some hard physical limits. Converting the beef industry, at current levels of demand, entirely to a grass- and crop-forage feeding system would require increasing the total size of American beef herds by 23 million cows, or 30 percent, according to a recent article in the respected science journal Environmental Research Letters. And that increase, were it even possible, would have monumental consequences for both greenhouse gas outputs and land use. But there simply isn’t enough land in the U.S. for that many grazers. At best, beef production would have to decrease by 39 percent and potentially as much as 73 percent. Framed that way, grass-fed grazing, especially if scaled, doesn’t seem likely to regenerate many ecosystems—indeed, it would likely require deforestation, as is the case in Brazil, where the clear-cutting of the Amazon is driven both by soy plantations for feedlot and factory farm animal feed and by the need for grazing space for grass-fed cattle. And as the Environmental Research Letters article argued, even temporary overgrazing can lead to long-term and perhaps irreversible ecological degradation.

>[...]

>Actually making animal agriculture less ecologically disruptive would mean taking animals’ ecological value as a bedrock principle against and over their value as commodities. That means treating commodity production, not land, as “marginal”: Commodities could be extracted only if doing so didn’t disturb the ecological, social, and cultural value of the landscape. In other words, in most such systems, animals would more than likely play a minor support role for primarily plant agriculture. And that, in turn, would almost certainly mean far fewer grazers entering the commercial food system, and at a much higher price point. Point Reyes, for example, might feature free-ranging elk managed by an Indigenous best practice–driven conservation agency, not dairy cattle grazed by private ranches. This kind of truly eco-friendly meat production would produce even less meat than the current grab bag of practices loosely labeled “regenerative.”

It’s not though. Lab grown meat requires several breakthroughs before it can possibly compete with cattle. Growing large amounts of meat in vats requires a clean environment, because the vats don’t have an immune system. All of the cells need to receive oxygen further complicating scaling and they still have to be fed. It’s a very complex and intensive process.
