Not every photographer removes existing mountain from photo or adds non-existing animals to picture.

One thing is slightly touch colors, other thing is completely messing with objects in photo, if you don't see difference between these two approaches it's difficult to discuss it.
«Systems thinking» by Levenchuk.

Masterful distillation of the most important parts of current systems engineering and systems management into a broadly applicable systems thinking approach.

The book is now reworked to a course and is currently free: https://eem.institute/open-endedness/systems-thinking/

TBH I read the original (in Russian), and English translation does not seem to be of stellar quality.
> Mastodon is really something else.

My biggest gripe with Mastodon is just how bad their thread support is. With Twitter, it's easily noticeable which reply belongs to which chain, Mastodon just flattens everything.
Randomness is just one of many possible algorithms generative music can use.

For example: Music for Airports is built from very long tape loops with different durations. It's completely deterministic, but the results sound like a random-ish stream of constantly changing note patterns.

It only works because no human has a long enough memory to hear the loops as loops. If our short term memories could hold a long loop as a percept we'd have a very different and less interesting listening experience.

And what is the name of an institution that allows you to deposit unlimited amounts of money, but when you try to withdraw it they don’t let you? FTX? Yes. A bank? Also yes.

In Lebanon people are holding up the banks at gunpoint to withdraw their own money.

Filtered is the process of removing parts from the whole. Like how a water filter removes unwanted chemicals.

Selected means it was chosen. So after filtering you could make a selection from all or part of the remaining choices.

Cherry picked, means selected individually to meet a goal.

Selecting very bad results to be removed is almost the opposite of cherry picking. Cherry picking would be picking only the best images and presenting them, here they removed the worst images and showed the rest.
> The answer to that is probably just "attachment disorder'.

Don't worry about labels. If you like something, do it.

If you're doing it too much or if it's harming anyone, review it.
You're very kind!
That's very true actually, and I'll admit to being naive enough to not having considered that.
There are mines that set themselves up in the proper orientation after deployment, the AT2 for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT2_mine
From a software engineering standpoint:

- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (doing all the exercises is key). This book helped me think about how programs run, how state is stored, how you can build out asynchronous computation, and how you can build your own languages.

- Designing Data Intensive Applications. This book profoundly changed how I think about application performance and data. It describes so much about different kinds databases and query languages, that now I feel like I've got a big picture view of the whole industry.

- Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. This book really taught me to think rationally and logically. I think I really did not understand the scientific method until this book.
I associate Ruby with a particular era of hipster web and app development, ~2007-2010. I don't know why but it's not quite attractive.

That said the serious reason I don't try it out is because I fear it would be like Python, and I don't need two Pythons in my life. If Ruby had been dominant I'd likely be using Ruby and thinking the same of Python.
Gambling is a lot more regulated though. And it doesn't have the tendency to say "hey bet all of your life savings with us, you can't lose!" like crypto does.

I keep seeing this kind of statement, but is it actually true? Are there any good benchmarks around this?
Banks in the UK used to get you to enter a PIN on your phone keypad to authorise them (different PIN from your ATM cards!). I pointed out to the call handler one day that when I entered my PIN I could still hear background noise from his open mike, and did that mean he could hear what I typed?

"Yes, I hear you typing in the PIN"

Oho, but that's a bit of security hole, isn't it?

"It's just beeps though, I can't tell what you typed"

Yeah but someone suitably skilled *could*, is my point!

"Yeah but it's just beeps, like this <beep beep beep beep>"

Okay and you typed 1 3 5 8.

"Uhhh... oh. Yes, I did. Uh, how did you do that?"

I've got an ear for it. This is absolutely not a criticism of you in any way and thanks for helping me demonstrate it, but could you get your supervisor to play this call to their manager and get back to me, once we're done with the call?

"Yes, I'll do that"

Awesome! Now these bank transfers...

They didn't call me back, but now call handlers transfer you to a totally different service to put a PIN in.
Agreed. One aspect of CA which interests me is robustness, the ability of a system to recover from error states.

What's been done with GoL is fascinating, but I think the next emergent layer of fascination for me is universal constructors which can handle a certain level of constant distributed noise or interference. A lot of times people just shrug and say, "well this pattern will always be critical/vulnerable in these locations, and cannot be made robust. But to me that opens up the door for entire classes of patterns which measure, embed and repair state of surrounding entities.
Hrm...

Nest cameras claim to do "ML at the edge", and then there are devices like nVidia's Jetson Nano. I strongly believe that facial rec without going to the cloud is possible with current tech.

Guessing here, but I can see propagating those ML models, where one camera learns of the face and it is sent out to other cameras in the same "security system" logical unit as a reasonable thing.
Sorry, but I think this is bad advice. It sounds wise and clever on the Internet, but in reality it's just an extension of the "consumer experience" mentality that leads to the society-wide feeling of malaise OP is experiencing. Because the fact is, doing a bunch of random things doesn't lead to any real insight about the human experience or what one's place in it ought to be.

Instead, I suggest that OP (and anyone else) delve into philosophy, religion, and especially the nature of capital-W Work, that being "What do you wish to spend your time doing in order to master it and grow into an identity as such a master?" The film Jiro Dreams of Sushi is an excellent introduction to this, but you can find similar mentalities labeled as "craftsmanship". The key point being that you need to create stuff (including your self) not simply consume it or find it out in the world.

Show HN: Basement – a GraphQL API for on-chain Ethereum data
If we want better web3 experiences, developers need better tools.

RPC nodes are really good at executing transactions, however they are notoriously cumbersome to set up, and reading large chunks of data is not very efficient:

To show a list of transactions and receipts, nodes have to re-execute smart contract code on entire blocks. For every read call. Not great at scale. Which is why everyone is building ETLs to move data from the chain into their own database.

This GraphQL API is our first step in allowing developers to spend more time on building product, rather than ETL infrastructure.

It exists, Monero. But it isn't necessarily a stable value, though I think it will hit a stable value at some point.

For some reason, I can't post so here is my reply to the guy below me:

Current XMRUSD volatility is ~40%

Current USDJPY volatility is ~38%

I believe in due time, when the pump and dumpers are gone, it will become as stable as normal currency pairs.
One could use it to test (embedded) code targetting RISC-V, without needing to use hardware.
Unit tests is the easiest, since they preferably do no I/O. But also integration test by providing an I/O implementation (using a Hardware Abstraction Layer), and driving I/O from the tests.
Such testing is easier to do when one has C access to the simulator, and not having to implement the I/O via some virtual device shuffling bytes etc.

And since its just a C header/library, on can just distribute, include and build the simulator alone with the project/tests. As opposed to relying on the user having qemu (or similar) installed.

I will consider using it for emlearn (a Machine Learning Library for microcontrollers).
Did anyone else do a "double take" (what the...?) when they read this part: <<[the Value Object] has the following properties: Immutable, ..., Extensible>> ???

I'm confused. How can an immutable object be extensible?

In Java parlance, would that mean something like:

public /*not final!*/ class GinormousData {
// all public final immutable members
public final String name;
public final int name;
...
}

Then, you are supposed to extend it? Weird. I never saw this style once. Is it a good idea?

The scary part, since the class is not final, you need to constantly worry if someone did something crazy like inherit and add mutable fields. Then legacy code that operates on references of GinormousData is clueless.

If I need to compose value objects, I would do this:

public final class GinormousData {
// all public final immutable members
public final String name;
public final int name;
...
}

public final class EvenBiggerData {
public final GinormousData gdata;
// other public final immutable members
}

Regardless of my language concerns above, this is great new feature for Ruby.

When I write Python, I go wild with namedtuples and dataclasses(frozen=True). Love them immutable data objects -- so easy to reason about when reading code.
I do think the same thing about python. The occupy a ver similar space and I already know ruby, so I have very limited incentive to start doing stuff in python. But that doesn’t mean I dislike it, or believe it’s a bad language.
> I suspect that a lot of people would be happy to be a "lifer" in the right situation.

I twice stayed in a specific company for more than ten years (11 and 13 respectively). In both cases I left (retired in the second example) because the company concerned had changed around me. I'd also gone native with the customers, and was seen internally as a domain expert. I enjoyed this, but it meant that I began to be firewalled away from internal strategic decision making to avoid conflicts of interest. This in turn reduced my visibility to senior decision makers, and thus promotability.
The block chain shows the bitcoin moving from one address to another. That's about it. It doesn't say what was exchanged for it, be that USD, FTT, or any other token, good, or service.

And those addresses are potentially pseudonymous to boot, at least if the BTC is withdrawn. If it ISN'T withdrawn, it's entirely plausible that the transactions took place off chain in the first place -- simply moving numbers around in an internal database while staying right in the same, FTX owned wallet. What you'd call in the trad fi space "holding assets in street name."

A refreshingly honest read Nicky (and yes, I'm trying to lose weight too).

Just remember that a person's worth with God doesn't depend on how good looking, thin or tall they are. He doesn't see as humans see, but looks into the heart instead (1 Samuel 16:7). There are people on HN that need to know this.

Good luck with your weight loss!
That must be a bug. There is a lot of code in the extension specifically to make it track DOM changes and push translations for those as they happen.

React pages are especially tricky to translate as the framework does not take kindly on external JavaScript swapping out text nodes. There’s code in the extension to work around that.
I fully agree with this. I've worked at the same company for the last 7 years. It's essentially because I have a great boss, and we have a great working relationship. If that boss were to be replaced, it would change the job massively
You lay those mines with an aircraft or missile, I'd suspect.

It's like a sleeping cluster bomb - one of the worst (in terms of humanitarian problems) antipersonal mines out there, the Russian PFM-1 butterfly mine [0] is a cluster munition that simply floats to the ground and stays there.

The PFM-1 also has a deactivation mechanism but it didn't work well enough in practice.

Deactivation mechanisms are one thing but what the explosives do over time is a big deal, even if the trigger/fuze is guaranteed to be inert after a short time.

Explosives can be like mayonnaise, they can separate after a while, forming sensitive mixtures, making the 'inert' mine suddenly dangerous again.

Worded vaguely enough for plausible deniability, like the rest of the text on that page. She never mentions seeing or photographing a snow leopard, nor does she mention editing the photos. This page seems carefully compiled in order to achieve exactly the attention she got, while at the same time allowing her to deny any lies if the truth got out.
While that is indeed.not in there, I wouldn't describe the article as "breathless". Two of the three first paragraphs throw cold water on things, and it spends more time both on risks and whether it's enough of an improvement to be worth it.

That said, personally, having seen what it did to both my grandmother's, if I had symptoms it'd take a pretty high level of risk before I'd not want a drug giving even just a small slowdown in progression.
Interesting when you think about DNA and how that shapes things.

Equally, compression, is this an avenue worth exploring and a whole new way of doing things awaiting to be tapped?

> The point for me was that a snow leopard never walks on such exposes snowy terrain, actually no animal does (humans with ropes are a exeption), it's simply too dangerous.

Many animals do. Chamois and tahr are two that I've observed doing so, and have been frequently documented doing so.

Sure, there's no prey on a snow covered alpine pass for a leopard.

And there's no grazing on a snow covered alpine pass for a chamois either.

But _there_ is food on the other side of that pass. Hence why it's worth the walk. And why do they use the pass? Same reason humans do, minimise energy expenditure by crossing at the lowest point.
"it might be" true. Enough said. It toke a long of time to admit the obvious.
By automated control leading to feudalism, I presume you mean deflation leads to feudalism?

I'm a fan of automated control, but with an algorithmically set inflation rate, I don't see why it would lead to feudalism.
Interestingly enough, the concept of placing gliders at a distance away seems to touch on the relativity of space and time. Here, with space, we are also encoding the time at which a certain pattern (a glider) appears where it's needed. In a rigid system like the GoL, we can't trade space with time easily, since everything happens at a constant speed, but it makes one wonder...
Banks have an unpredictable money issuance policy.
While Bitcoin's policy is know for the next 100 years.

That will allow unseen before economic growth for entities going on to the Bitcoin Standard, with proper planning.

After the first pioneers show to the world how it's done, it will become obvious to anyone that Bitcoin is the most advanced money we have as a civilization.
You can create photo montages from actual photos you took.

In that way her description would still reflect reality. Or are you claiming she didn’t photograph a snow leopard?
What's wrong with digital composites? I know plenty of stunning works that are a result of combining photos, or drawing on top of a photo as a background, etc etc. Unless you specifically spread mistruth alongside your photo about how it was taken it's all good by me.

I'd be much more concerned with publications that find random imagery and use it uncritically, how worse would it get when generative visuals go really mainstream?
Thank you. Although I'm British I have no feel for weights in anything but metric units.

Keep it up Nicky.

Only bit of advice I have from giving up smoking about 20 years ago is, don't beat yourself up if slip up occasionally. Trying to take control of your situation is always useful in itself.

Even if you fall off the wagon multiple times just attempting to get back on again gives you more control and makes things easier the next time.

Try. Fail. Try again and fail again but better.
F#/OCaml may not have a small total surface area (I'm not that deep in it), but you can do a whole lot knowing basic constructions.

If you haven't used a functional language there's an alternative approach without the cognitive overhead of thinking about statements executing in time (most of the time). For a non-static typed example, Elixir (but that usually also brings in Phoenix framework). Zig is another interesting one for different reasons.
Do you see this as a form of geometric compression in the future?

I wasn’t familiar with the term but from Wikipedia it seems to refer to the same melodic phrase being played by different musicians. Lutoslawski assigns different phrases to different instruments which is not quite the same.

Does the cryptocurrency industry also allow banning yourself from betting on it (and respect this ban by ensuring you don't create multiple accounts)? That's just one of the controls in place in gambling industry.
Wonder if other nations that have a high amount of land mines would adopt the same program?

A bonus is how rats are more disposal than dogs.
Initially I disagreed with you, but I do see value in what you propose, but I would implement it the other way around — add an option to the compiler that turns type check errors into warnings only, say dev mode.

Then the following arguments are moot, as CICD will run it in the “sane default” setting.
Pleroma integrates into the network people think of as "Mastodon" perfectly well and is reputedly much lighter-weight (though its dependencies list is just as unwieldy).

Very well put. With work, it's often better the devil you know
Yes. I code for living but still compose music. This of course means I don't have much time to commit for composing but being financially independent has allowed me to compose exactly the kind of music I want. In the spring I had a premier of my orchestral piece at local philharmonic orchestra. Unfortunately not allowed to share the recording but you can find some of my other compositions from Soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/henrisokka
yes, 1m for every 3.3ns error, we all know that.

the problem is those GPS vendors only provide long term average error for their products, there is upper bound guarantee at all.
Some of that will ultimately be determined by whether or not it's against Bahamian law, rather than US law, which opens up a whole 'nother can of worms. The fact that he had over 100 companies he was operating makes this a dizzying case to speculate on the specifics of from a legality standpoint. I don't envy anyone who gets tapped for jury duty for this case.

This isn't really accurate. Homeowners get the enormous PPOR CGT exemption, which means they pay no capital gains on their primary home when they sell - This can be a massive amount of money in an up market (the past two decades, especially)
