This exact thing is discussed in detail in the book OP referenced, it's excellent BTW.

The group of chemicals known as phthalates are added to a huge range of plastics we use at home every day and there is a ton of evidence suggesting that these chemicals are endocrine disruptors. They seem to all have very similar effects WRT endocrine disruption, often substituted for one another when one is found to be bad. This leads to the whack-a-mole effect described by a sibling comment.

Products can be listed as "BPA free" but still have these endocrine disrupting chemicals in them.
The central bank is doing it, they just have a license to produce counterfeits. If you could get away with it, you would too.

The ~2% target they aim for is really "this is probably what we can get away without without prices exploding so fast that people notice and start protesting our policies."

If they can get away with >2% they will. With a convenient excuse like COVID, they will not miss the opportunity to enrich themselves as much as possible, because its easy to shift the blame on price increases away from themselves.

Can guarantee they're eagerly awaiting the next emergency where creating trillions of dollars is 'the only solution.'

That's assuming that the user always starts from a completely uncompressed key. On a medium-weight mechanical keyboard, for latency-sensitive actions you'd likely be hovering the key just above its actuation point (one of the reasons I actually prefer tactile keys for gaming: the idea keyboard holds the weight of my resting fingers just above the actuation point).

I have a PhD in optimization / operations research. I'm the father of four young children, so I'm looking for flexible/remote part-time work, and/or contract work. I can work up to around 20-30 hours per week (this varies depending on whether kids get sick, if I have other contracts, etc).

My specializations revolve around optimization and operations research---essentially, I solve optimization problems. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or various forms of metaheuristics. I could manage my way around new solvers and programming languages if the project required it.

I'm currently working on a column generation-based daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of the user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I am aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.
If Google is giving you a search result, yes. But Google returns other types of answers, and sometimes they are unsourced and wrong.

For example, do this search:

who wrote the song "when will i be loved"

The results page contains short section before the web page results. This section says:

When Will I Be Loved
Song by Linda Ronstadt

The song was actually written[1] by Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers, who recorded it in 1960. Linda Ronstadt released her version in 1974. Both versions rose pretty high on the pop charts, but Ronstadt's went higher.

But, what does "by" mean -- recorded by or written by? Maybe Google isn't giving me a wrong answer but is just answering the wrong question?

Nope, the Google result also includes a row of pink radio buttons for selecting different info about the song, and the page loads with the "Composer" button selected.

So, it's just plain wrong. And there is no link or other hint where the information came from.

Yes, under a strict definition those are organs. But under the more common usage "a part of an organism that is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function, such as the heart or liver in humans." [1] they are not.

As for the last paragraph, I don't agree "self repairing" and "alive" are the same

The problem with GPT is that it seems to be in an uncanny valley, where it's smart enough to be convincing but not smart enough to be completely accurate. So using it is often lower productivity than just writing from scratch because you have to spend more time carefully going over every line of code for subtle errors.

> about 40% of its recyclable material stays in North America, where it’s supposed to be processed according to strict environmental and labor standards. The other roughly 60% goes abroad, mainly to Asia

My guess is that if you broke it down, all of the metal stays on-shore, a mix of the paper and all the plastic gets exported.
The qualifications for the role are very poor if you're looking for someone to be effective:

> Bachelor’s Degree required, preferably public policy, or related design fields, plus 5-8 years of
full-time professional experience in a field related to this position

> Swashbuckling attitude, crafty humor, and general aura of badassery

Wouldn't you value someone who actually knows how to control vermin populations at scale in an urban environment? Why would you value someone who has a "public policy" degree. What even is that?

And why does this person need to be a funny pirate? In essence, Jack Sparrow with a public policy degree appears to be the ideal candidate.

To me it sounds like they're more interested in giving off the perception of doing something about the problem while entertaining the public about it, rather than actually solving the problem effectively.

Don't assume good intentions when malice is equally likely... at least in this technology world we live in. Companies that are actually on the user's side are very rare, so you're more likely to be correct (and safe) by never giving tech companies the benefit of the doubt.

I have some additional text search tool for MacOS. It was slightly better than Spotlight but I used it so rarely that I forgot it’s name. The thing that I miss most often in MacOS is - “which movie file has that scene that I remember so clearly”. Isn’t it time already to do something like that? That would be a noticeable breakthrough indeed. No?

Ambassador Labs (formerly Datawire) | Senior Software Engineers (Edgestack) | REMOTE | FULL-TIME
Ambassador Labs is solving interesting problems for cloud native developers in the Kubernetes space. We are looking to hire engineers that care as much about empowering developers as we do and have embraced the cloud native phenomenon that is taking over the world.
You will be working on products aimed at drastically improving the way cloud native developers work.

We work in six week development cycles where we build features that make our customers lives’ better. We then have two weeks during which you are free to work on whatever you want that benefits the business and our customers - you might do some self-directed learning, improve your tools, or maybe even work on a demo for an exciting new idea you had. Your team uses Notion to plan and track the work, Figma for UI design, Markdown for documentation, GitHub Actions and CircleCI for continuous integration, Docker Hub for the resulting images, and of course Slack and Zoom.
This is an opportunity to join a growing team of smart and empathetic software engineers. The role is focused primarily on product development of new products and services - this means you will be doing work in Golang. Our products comprise multiple services and those services are written in various languages (the best language for that particular task). If you are motivated by figuring out ways for developers (your people!) to own their work through the power of microservices and Kubernetes, you’ve come to the right place.
If you’re interested, contact directly: shand@datawire.io
I'd love to see C# support for something like this as well. Would be nice if Unity games could start supporting wasm plugins. Not sure if something like that works for Ureal already.

The trouble is that it doesn't know where it copied from.
Right, it seems so cool at first, but very quickly just feels like... google. I know its a sophisticated thing, but I really can't sustain enthusiasm for it, I don't understand how all the literal and figurative energy that goes into this is ultimately worth it, beyond being like "huh, cool" for a few minutes. It is immediately apparent that there isn't, like, synthetic judgements happening in the Kantian sense or whatever, just parsed html with maybe wrong answers and a very good ability to make it feel conversational.

Ill stick to man pages and blogs for now. I like learning!
The whole sentence is:

> My work is trade secret so I’ve never filed a patent, written a publication, nor given a talk.

"My work is a trade secret so..." is an important part of the sentence, which I read as a qualifier/context to the "never".

It could be interpreted either way.

Yeah, right... Totally believable.
I'm pretty sure the rat killing nature of cats is way overstated. Also, in an urban environment where they can much more easily find food thrown in trash, etc., they are unlikely to make an effort to kill rats to obtain that food. Finally, a sufficient cat population that could eradicate a rat problem would likely eradicate the bird population first.
it's not really misleading at all. Places like Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia all had birth rates below replacement in 2021.

Sure, you can still find nice big numbers in places like Niger in sub-saharan Africa, but even they are starting a sharp decline. And they are starting with a low base. Their entire national population is only the size of the greater NYC area.
Not the biggest fan of Brave myself, but they seem to actually get extra points in my eyes for adding the paid option. It's not like you can pay $3 to Google to get them to stop surveilling you.

On a bigger note, monetizing search without ads seem to be a pretty tricky business model. Especially if you want to move beyond being a niche product; even an average HN reader would be hard to convince to pay for a regular subscription, so with the general public I can't imaging the hassle.

What are other ways search engines could monetize without taking money either from users or from people that want to show something to them?
It appears today the qualifier "holographic" has been added to the article's title, and the subtitle has added the phrase "it’s not clear in what sense the wormhole can be said to exist."

I could be wrong, since I'm relying on memory, and I can not find an indication that the article was edited.
> The 1.3ms latency is excellent and I love the key feel.

Anyone can explain how is that possible, given that plenty of experiments showed that the human (conscious) reaction time is above 150 ms?
Nobody? It was a comment, not the consensus of the entire community.
I tried stimulants to work harder and then I was like "Who the fuck am I doing this for?" They won't pay me more just because I'm sleeping less.

On top of that, I'm just bad at my job after a certain number of focused hours each day, stimulated or not.

A big realization that improved my quality of life was realizing that 4 hours of work while tired can easily equate to 15 minutes of work the next day.
Thanks 3$/month looks like a decent price to me. I might give it a try although I am already running an ad blocker on my browser.
The browser also has a built-in ad-replacer which tells you even more about how they feel about ads.
The only reason this is a problem is because the city refuses to use containerized trash collection (such as dumpsters). Turns out, dumping trash bags on the street for 12 hours 3-6 times a week is basically a free buffet for rats.

The reason the city doesn't implement containerized trash collection is because that would mean giving up a few free parking spots every block.

It got worse during COVID-19 because the city temporarily suspended collection/extermination, which caused the rodent population to explode, and it's never recovered from that. But eliminating the regular meals for rats would be an easy, no-brainer way to fix it.
I use a Keychron tenkeyless at work, it was relatively inexpensive and came with MacOS keys (a necessity for me). I added O-rings to make it quieter for open office use.
I haven't watched that anime yet. I also never even came close to the real thing.

What I do know is that one popular picture of the black X68k alongside a matching monitor and keyboard are to me the embodiment of the cool industrial/utilitarian late 80s computer design. The computer tower case looks like some premium stackable industrial equipment. The only thing I can think of that achieves similar iconic level is the PowerMac G5 "cheese grate" tower.
IVF and things like caesarians & other prenatal care are surely having an evolutionary effect. Fertility and ability to give healthy live birth used to be the most fundamentally important evolutionary pressures for us (and basically every other species), and now we can opt out of them.

IDK how long we'd expect it to take for most of humanity to become dependent on a high-tech society to reproduce, under those circumstances, but it'd seem really weird to me if that's not the direction we're going. But maybe that takes hundreds or thousands of years to have a pronounced effect, rather than tens.

So why do they give their product away for free? To lure naive/optimistic people in so they can be exploited later? Why should a company like that survive?
Maybe that's a reasonable standard, but if that's what they're using now it's still pretty noteworthy, since like I said I can't recall any instance of a CA being removed for that reason before.

In the past there's always been some sort of egregious security issue that calls into question the security of the CA certificate itself.
As a simple example: the brainfuck example (https://twitter.com/jdjkelly/status/1598063705471995904) is just entirely wrong, full stop. The comments do not match the code, and the algorithm is fractally wrong. Some examples: the algorithm does not perform variable-distance moves so it can’t actually handle arrays; the comparison test is just entirely wrong and performs only a decrement; the code that claims to copy an element just moves the pointer back and forth without changing anything; etc. etc.
Tldraw – A new collaborative infinite drawing canvas for the web
I play a lot of video games. In Tekken e.g. Heihachi has a move called OTGF. The input sequence is listed as f,N,df+2. Each of those movements must be done in 16.6ms or it doesn't work. On an 8-way joystick, there are only 4 switches for the cardinal directions. That means the final movement of df+2 requires hitting the d switch, f switch, and 2 button within the same 16.6ms window to count as simultaneous.

There are players that can do OTGF move every time they try.

My audio interface for connecting my keyboard/guitar to my PC is USB-C. I tried USB2 devices and find they have too much latency. It's very noticeable. USB-C has 1ms latency or less.

It's a world of difference playing FPS shooters online between a 50ms ping and a 100ms ping. If you care about your aim, 100ms ping is barely playable.
No way to test it by yourself - you can try the provided examples; it relies on others indexes and mentions in documentation "You can think of Kagi as a "search client"". It requires an account in the first place and I can't see a word about pricing.
