This is an excellent example of what's wrong with narcissism material on the internet.

I've just paged through his entire video catalogue, and every single title is bitter.

I think this is because people who become particularly interested in narcissism, speaking from my own experience included, were victims of them. Especially children of them. It's something very hard to just move on from.

Not a single one of his videos are titled things like "Where does a narcissist come from?", "how does a child of narcissists repair the damage", "how can a narcissist be cured" (or treated).

It's all just bitter stuff, and none of that, except perhaps for any "cut and run" advice, helps people move on. It's all just anger fuel.
Apparently Oakland PD wanted to do the same but backed down due to political pressure. If Detroit, the fictional home of RoboCop, doesn't feel the need why then San Francisco?
Downtown Los Angeles sometimes goes of sprees of jaywalking enforcement, but only in downtown. Never saw it enforced anywhere else in the city.
I think "no one" is a fairly tall claim: They are well-used on all the operating systems that do support them.

Mind also, "old POSIX ACLs" came from a POSIX draft: they never made it into POSIX. While being an extremely simple expansion of the Unix modes, they are only ever additive and do not support fine-grained permissions that NFSv4 allows for. They're sometimes better than the standard mode bits, but they very often come up short of being useful in the real world.
Interesting. Although I imagine if that was their ultimate goal they wouldn't have bothered with the free consumer extension no?

> what do we know for sure Google know and track about us?

For start, your entire search history. After you search, Google tracks how much time you spend on those sites with AdSense. Google reads our emails to scan for flights and to add appointments to calendar. It knows the places we go because Google Maps and the videos we watch online.

Google has plenty data to make an accurate profile of you, and you can see it’s inferences on your relationship status, income, employer and so on in your Google account[1]. (IIRC it was more complete some years ago, now it’s showing less categories or there’s another link I can’t find.)

You still can't.. many (most?) mainstream distros don't ship vim or emacs by default.
If you mean the ones made by Asamm Software, unfortunately they contain privacy-concerning trackers. :(
I don’t disagree with the points here, certainly have my own list of this category of pet peeve. One other peeve is “do better” as a linguistic device which we’ve see flourish in the last few years. To me, it consistently reads as arrogant and condescending towards the person in need of correction. Rather than this simplistic mandate, perhaps a more specifically helpful call to attention.

I find the first 8 completely unsurprising, but why the ninth? What is special about the prefix ‘col’?
Depends on the results. A blinded study which has a strong enough effect can definitely be solid indicator.

> Without diet treatment none of 12 participants in the control group had remission, but after they had also received the diet program, 10 out of a total of 23 participants (43%) were free from diabetes, without need for medication.

That's very unlikely to be due to chance - a difference of 0/12 vs 10/23. Of course, this doesn't protect us from failure modes where the study was set up badly or someone just plain cheated, which is why we do want more than one study, but as far as predictive power goes, this is solid.

And fortunately this is already confirmatory research, not exploratory - we've either known or strongly suspected this for quite a while. Now we're just in the stage where it goes mainstream. And speaking of what we know/strongly suspect, adding muscle building into the mix also helps. Living with 800 calories per day is not sustainable, but losing weight once, then building (a lot of) muscle then maintaining a reasonable body fat is hard, but doable.

Lately I wonder if 3 months on semaglutide, low dose steroids, protein and gym is actually an intervention well worth its risks, at least for some categories. Replacing 10kg of fat with 10kg of muscle is much less likely to yoyo than just losing weight.
What are the sources of positional uncertainty? Is it mainly uncertainty of the exact position of each satellite at a given time? It's interesting how slowly positioning accuracy has improved. For something that first reached global coverage in 1995 I would've expected four or five orders of magnitude improved precision by now.
> This is a symbolic move, since it rarely gets enforced.

Except if you're in a poor part of town. "Rarely enforced" laws are absolutely evil in my opinion, because it means they are really only enforced when convenient to meet other ends.

Take anti-sodomy laws before Lawrence v Texas. They were also "rarely enforced", but were conveniently used to call out gays and lesbians as "criminals" whenever it suited some bigoted politician.
Can anyone what is involved in writing a captcha buster? Is it an ML discipline? How does that work in an extension or other edge devices?

Might anyone have any links or resources regarding how these work?

It's not a crime. It is a misdemeanor, as in, it will never land you in jail.
I eventually figured out how to get the URL of a facebook post (you click the timestamp and it will bring you to a page with just that post with a permalink - this is not exposed in the ... dropdown menu) but I was puzzled when trying to refer someone to a comment that answered their question, there is no way to hyperlink to a comment ! they don't have URLs!
What percentage of pedestrians killed by motor vehicles in any recent time window of your choice were jaywalking when it happened?
What is a scenario where this actually happens, though?

Imagine two people live in the same residence. One is extremely privacy conscious, doesn’t even have a Google account, and the other doesn’t even run an ad blocker. Both have the same phones on the same OS version, and for sake of argument, both are on the same ipv4.

Does this mean that, if the privacy conscious person opens a private browsing session on their phone and visits some websites, they start getting ads their roommate should be getting? At what point would Google know “this is the same person, show their targeted ads”?
But then it's not the same container, right? Either you'd need to switch your whole cloud infrastructure to run on ARM (which I see is possible now, and I'd be curious to hear if people have done that successfully) or we're back to "works on my machine ^W architecture".
The only situation where Germans would generally scold someone for crossing at a red light is when a small child is present. There is a widespread norm not to cross in that case, because children are considered less capable of making the judgement call and should rely on the lights, so it's bad to act as an example to the contrary. This makes sense to me. In other situations, it is considered mostly acceptable in my experience.
Misdemeanors are still very much crimes.
Yeah, I already started replacing int with long when I run into it in my code.

Meanwhile I'd REALLY REALLY like it if we could get rid of daylight saving time already. It fucks things up twice a year.

When you're making sweeping generalizations and arguing in near absolutes, citations are very much needed.
Yeah, this specific bio-material probably doesn't make sense for moisture and dirt.

However, the bio-plastics made from shellfish leftovers (think: crab, lobster, shrimp) would be appropriate for this.

The problem with petroleum based products (Styrofoam, plastics) is that they are crazy cheap due to our oil based economy. At some point the economics of that industry will change, and with it the prevailing winds on using plastics as building materials.

I would welcome more products being made as sturdy as they used to be. Take for example, pooper scoopers. It's actually quite difficult to buy a scissor-style one made of any kind of metal (there's one which is 80ish USD and made of steel - sort of a vanity product). They're all plastic. They all break, some sooner than others. The one I picked up from my parents' house recently was used from about 1990 to 2003 (and left outdoors since), and performs better than any of the plastic ones we used. It's wood and aluminum, and probably was no more expensive than the plastic ones on offer today. We broke a 25 dollar scooper within a month, and the scooper we inherited will likely outlive yet another dog.
Have you been to other states? They're really not that different. California just happens to have way more people than most.

This sounds less like a paradox and more like a simple high school algebra problem to me.
I also find CC distracting, but...

> Maybe something like using AI/ML to dynamically place the CC closest to the person speaking so I don't need to direct my eyes at the bottom of the screen and can have both the text and the actor's face in my field of vision?

I think this would be even worse, at least for me. Now not only are there distracting words on the screen, but they're also jumping around erratically!

I wish there was an option to delay closed captions so that they appear after the line is spoken, rather than before. That way, I'd be hearing the line before reading it, rather than the other way around, so it doesn't ruin the delivery. It would also make it easier to ignore captions when I don't need them, because I could just glance to the bottom of the screen after I miss a word rather than having to preemptively read everything just in case.
Start a part-time masters online or at a local uni. You'll meet plenty of motivated people. Btw, you might find that most people are motivated by money, not by the love of science/tinkering.

How much do you think the Ukrainians (or the Russians, if you're a psychopath) would pay for a fully automated missile that detects the source of incoming artillery, launches in that direction, identifies the gun, and blows it up?

It really doesn't seem much of a stretch from the current state of technology. The only thing missing is an AI-driven targeting system for the last mile. I sincerely hope somebody (on "our" side) is working on it.
The rubbish hashtag #要要搞定個要 has been trending for at least 10+ hours (all spam/bot posts). Also, if you search Beijing or Shanghai in Chinese (北京，上海), you'll see a sea of escort/porn tweets in the Latest tab.

I was gonna make a post about it 6 hours ago, but thought surely twitter would be on top of it soon. Guess not.
Rails is definitely still a viable choice.

While I've never used Symfony, when I've tinkered in Laravel it felt like the frameworks were pretty similar (if you've ever used Laravel).

If you want to do something more 'cloud native' in Ruby, you could use something like Ruby on Jets (at its core it uses AWS's API Gateway and Lambda, but can be extended for other AWS services with events)
Came here to say the same thing. When I first saw the protobuf zigzag encoding, I saw the same pattern. At first, I thought I must be wrong because they aren't describing it this way. Nope, it really is that simple.

In earlier computer systems (pre 1980s), this kind of variety was more common. In my career, I have only been exposed to twos-complement or float formats. I would bet that this is true for many other engineers as well.

I'm glad the protobuf folks used it. I'm also glad Dr. Lemire wrote an article about it. It is another clever trick to have in the toolbox.
This is a secret tool that will help us increase the disparity between casual and permanent employees later.
your main sources of error will be from the Earth's atmosphere and signal bounced which both change the time signals take to reach you. there are pretty hard lower limits on the amount of error. gps already has to deal with relativistic effects to get as accurate as it is.

How about the text ones that Google uses that are text that are alternately compressed and stretched in the same word to the degree that many of them are completely illegible to human eyes? Some of them appear like text wrapped around an invisible sphere almost like a mercator projection. What meaningful work domain is those captchas targeting?
Buy cheap grounds in the biggest quantities you can store. I actually prefer Cafe Bustelo from local latino supermarkets (which is inexpensive, but not "cheap", it's really good!). Buy a coffee maker where no hot water touches plastic. Just glass and steel.

You will find that this gets you most of the way to great coffee.

I had this guy, and it lasted about 5 years. But you can do DIY pourover with similar results, electric or stovetop tea kettle + carafe with pourover:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076VVTRNM

Keep it simple, and good coffee is cheap. No need to re-use grounds.

I do have one use case for grounds re-use: If I want something hot to drink in the afternoon. I have good tolerance for caffeine (I have never become physically dependent), but I just have to keep caffeine consumption to before 3pm, or I might have a hard time sleeping. A re-run of the morning's grounds (usually 3 scoops of grounds), gives me coffee flavor, but without too much caffeine.
yes, the math is significantly simplified if you assume you haven't moved. cold start is always much slower (and is called out as such in most GPS datasheets)

> At some point the economics of that industry will change, and with it the prevailing winds on using plastics as building materials.

KSA can pump oil at current rates for 40 years at $20 per barrel.

That'll definitely be enough for global plastic consumption.

Economics itself isn't going to phase out plastics in my lifetime.
On the subject of syrup and sugar in cold-brew in the article:

Simple syrup is incredibly easy to make and dissolves readily in cold coffee. I often make myself a small afternoon iced coffee from my leftover morning carafe, and a bottle of simple I made for cocktails is handy for that.

2 parts sugar to one part water, heat the water until the sugar is dissolved then bottle it.
Your understanding of homelessness seems to be from curated, indirect sources and your opinions reflect that.

For a contrast, I just spent 10 years adjacent to a large homeless community and had direct and ongoing interaction the entire time. My wife left our family to join it. I've been homeless myself (30 years ago). Lastly, me and my adult children came scary close to being on the streets 18 mos ago.

From the top. It's poverty and mental illness, in that order. Those things don't magically disappear in the absence of drugs. Given that the vast, vast majority of addicts are housed, correlation would tell us that drugs cause housing - if one were keen to make assumptions based on a single instance of correlation.

My ex is a stereotypical example of our homeless. She'd been housed for 9 months and was just evicted for behavior during a prolonged delusional state. The park manager was fully clear why she had to go. The drug addicts in the park are remaining housed and nothing indicates that will change.

Last year, my family nearly joined the ranks of homeless (with savings in the bank) because our rental was sold. We have zero credit (save, then buy) which bars us from all corp rentals and ~100% of private ones.

Past that, every available rental has dozens->hundreds of applicants and bidding wars are common. It's one rental for every 40 households that need one and rental prices are 50%-300% higher than they were in Jan 2020 (our rent is 70% higher, we were lucky). These are the actual numbers facing renters, not curated.

Survivor bias is why I can post this info.

For a closing note, consider this. News orgs have been reporting on official homeless figures (a direct count plus extrapolation). The numbers are meant to represent actual numbers of homeless.

Let's say my county homeless count is N.

Schools are also federally mandated to report numbers of homeless students. My county's homeless student population is N x 2.5. Even that is an obvious undercount as it only reflects students in attendance.

The news orgs reporting homeless numbers - they're accepting what is given to them, apparently without any attempt at verification. The homeless info that's curated for us doesn't seem like what we want, if what we want is to understand the reality of the situation.

Probably not so modern in regions with native sugar cane? E.g. doesn't jaggery (unrefined cane sugar reduced to a semi-solid block) production in India and thereabouts go back centuries?

Certain palms are also (and have been for... Again I don't know, but I believe 'a very long time') 'milked' for a sugary sap that's drunk fresh or fermented.
loool this is a serious problem
Single family houses with front and back yards, more variety in stores, more choice in services, random businesses, which would not exist otherwise (you can have an underwater basket weaving studio in some strip mall and still get enough customers to pay rent since your customer base comes from 60+ miles radius), convenient access to parks and trails for pretty much everyone etc.
Straight to the "ANTI-SEMITE!!! card" eh?

> A comment in a thread about a swastika should not be used as an opportunity to connect Judaism to Israeli policy.

Fair point. I withdraw that and apologise for going off on a tangent. But I still don't accept that Nazis or Jews should have a say in the use of the symbol when used in the old ways as it was used before Hitler corrupted it.
There was gambe.ro, which was an Italian site like Lobste.rs. Unfortunately it’s down now.
Yes, the invention mostly comes from academics, but also top ML/AI scientists hired by large corporations (who also publish their work from what I've seen).

Innovation is then left up to everyone else.
> a pair of words, one of which was unambiguously resolved by an OCR and the other of which OCRs couldn’t easily read

4chan had a lot of fun with this when it was first implemented. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there very quickly developed a campaign to have everyone insert "n**r" in place of the unknown word. Many threads were dedicated to education, onboarding, and, of course, sharing 'trophies' when such a replacement was found to have taken effect in one of Google's products (Books, iirc?).
Just to state the "obvious": the reason people cross at intersections is because that is one place on the road where there are stop lights! Well, usually. It's banking off of existing stops for cars.

It's funny to think about how the grid layout of cities like NYC mean that it's too tempting to just put crosswalks at intersections since there are so many of them, but in other cities you often have crosswalks away from intersections as well. Some of them have lights associated with them.

The fact of the matter is that no matter how careful a pedestrian tries to be, given how roads tend to be often used by cars if you don't want to wait around for 10 minutes having cars yield in one way or another is important. But given how dangerous intersections are in general, I wonder how much safer it would be to just paint a lot of crosswalks _everywhere_ and apply the whole "you have to stop if someone looks like they're crossing" logic.
A decent metal filter that is really catching all the fines doesn’t last long. It will soon be clogged with fines.

If you want to minimise waste, get an aeropress. Stick with the paper filters and use a soft clean toothbrush to clean the filter. You’ll notice that if you use the aeropress as a pour over, the draw down rate will stay consistently fast. The filters are much smaller and are good for at least 5 uses.
Ask HN: What made programming finally click for you?
The "Aha!!" moment where things start falling into place and you understand really what it is about and now you can concentrate on breaking up and solving the problem at hand rather than worrying about the lagnuage, syntax or the act of programming. Because you know if you can solve the problem you can implement it in no time.
Yes, most of my life. CA is the best place I have been to in the world but I think locals get used to the nature, climate and nice politicians too much so they complain. The people part you are right, always overcrowded but still most coastal folks are nice (regardless of sincerity) central/valley and eastern folk are more like texans but not quite as much imo
But I do this too...
There is a feature in youtube call profiles. You might want to try that out. For example i have work profile, kids, personal, learning profile etc. Now you make sure in each of these profiles you subscribe to those channels that are relevant enough. That way you recommendations are much better.
Depends on the impact distribution, I'd imagine? I.e they could go after the most impactful bad actors which, assuming a power law (typical for social networks), would have vastly more reach than other accounts. Or it could be that they're catching the low hanging fruit (careless accounts). Wish they'd share some numbers (i.e followers/reach of these accounts etc).
