Collectively (not individually), IMHO the professors are to blame.

Just like many other 'nerd' professions (engineers, programmers, doctors), taking positions of power is uninteresting, even when offered, because the scientific/technical/mathematical problem at hand is significantly more interesting then wielding power. This is where the alpha male professional manager come in and offers himself to manage the show , and the nerds are only too happy to delegate that responsibility. Over a period of years/decades the transition of power is complete and the professors end up being the underdogs.

Like I said in my edit since I was rate-limited, this is a nonsensical response to what I said.

> Basically, it turns out you need to have something that can think, and ML is nowhere near that.

This is what I was replying to. The comment I replied to didn't say a word about hoping into your car and inputting an address, and my comment repeatedly mentioned ML, so it's really hard to imagine you actually read either and came away with that erroneous of a conclusion.
It's also a security risk. Get ahold of enough branded stuff and you can make people think you work at Twitter on a video call.
Noticing a startling lack of evidence in your posts here. You're in good company with those right-wing state governments over there.
Also avoiding realities of human nature.
Before the iPhone was shown off in 2007, Android was being built for devices that looked like BlackBerries, complete with the little trackball.

The first consumer Android devices came in 2008, looking a lot more like the iPhone than the BlackBerry-esque prototypes, but they kept the trackball because much of the software was still more suited for navigation with that than with the touchscreen.
No good solution existing doesn't mean we should implement useless measures that restrict freedom.
Assuming a similar percentage of car washes and hairdressers launder money( similar to how many >10k cash transactions are for money laundering) we could ban hairdressers and car washes from using cash all together. To fight corruption...

I think the problem we should fight, if any, is not the laundering. I simply can't imagine a good return on the investment in terms of fought-corruption vs permanently removed rights.

I also don't get the argument of "very few people it" against cash. Sure, the usage is low, but why would we then take away the right? To me this is like taking away the right to protest because 99% of people are almost never on the streets(made up statistic). Restrict people's bank accounts and see how quickly they will start using cash instead; I've seen this happen. Similarly, restrict people's rights and they will head for the streets.
That would be growing plants to convert CO2 to carbohydrates and sugars, sprouting them to uplift more carbohydrates to sugars, fermenting them and extracting the ethanol?

OK. Wrong -ol. So, do it wood chips..

It is probably more applicable for water mains and other infrastructure, but it was just an example of the concept.
I love planning out my year and setting goals! I try to run my personal goals the way I run business goals -- by defining concrete metrics to track my progress and trying to hold myself accountable to monthly milestones. This past year was a great one, and I really credit a lot of my progress to the simple joy of "making the numbers go up" in my progress tracking spreadsheet [0].

I usually start thinking sometime in mid-November about what goals are most important to me for the upcoming year and try to finalize them by the last week of December. I think about what matters to me personally, what matters to my family, and what matters to my career.

I like to choose about 3-5 key goals to focus on and then figure out how to measure progress. For things like "Lose 30 Pounds", it's very easy to track. For more nebulous ones like "Invest Time in my Marriage", it can be hard to quantify progress, so for that one I created a monthly relationship survey that my wife and I both fill out to score each other numerically on things like "I feel my partner listens to me" or "I feel my partner is spending enough time with me". It may sound weirdly clinical, but it actually became a fun ritual to evaluate each other every month and was really helpful to pinpoint where my partner felt things were great and where things could be improved.

It's also interesting to look back on the data and see how progress (or lack thereof) toward one goal often impacted another -- for instance, as we were in the thick of closing on our house, my progress on my book editing stalled. In a challenging month between my wife and I, I gained weight instead of losing it.

A big part of this is choosing good goals -- specific, measurable goals are important. It's also been important for me to choose goals that I feel really confident I can achieve in the course of a year, rather than choosing goals which are too ambitious. For 2022, I was tempted to make my goal "Lose 50 pounds" instead. I'd actually had the goal of "Lose 50 pounds" in prior years and failed badly in trying to achieve it. I think because it's such an ambitious goal, once I fell behind, it felt impossible to catch back up. The more modest and achievable goal of losing 30 pounds was perfect for me -- meaningful enough for real progress, but realistic enough to allow for some slowdowns or screw-ups along the way.

Tracking progress also helps with reflecting on the previous year -- in my case, one of my goals in 2022 was to release another game, but I'm not going to accomplish that one. It's really helpful to look at what I earnestly thought I'd be able to achieve this year, figure out what went wrong, and make a better plan for 2023.

[0] For anyone that's interested, here's a sample of my progress tracking spreadsheet -- nothing complicated, but it can be helpful to have a predetermined structure in place. Feel free to make a copy for your own use: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13G9L1t82BtIggxEqeFUV...
Splashtop here too. I’ve been using it for ~7 years and have no complaints. It does everything I need at a fair price. I’ve used it on Windows, macOS and Ubuntu.
I haven’t tested the following claim and not at the computer atm (^U, see below), but divs must be cheap. They’re just structures which a rendering engine walks through and computes hierarchical offsets of via stylesheets.

I’m not arguing for using hundreds of divs, because that’s a sign of engineering insanity imo, but it’s not a performance issue. You can create a static page with thousands of them and (likely) see that it still doesn’t use 250Mb+ neither idles at 30% cpu core.

Added:

damn thing keeps messing with the DOM … web frontend is an insane dumpster fire.

Totally agree with these parts.

—————

… I just tested 50 div-rows with 200 spans containing numbers from 1 to 199. Total 10k elements, text doesn’t fit on the screen. Bootstrap css+js is imported via CDN.

Mithril.js implementation uses 50Mb of RAM consistently.

A static page with the exact same content uses 71-96Mb depending on the run.

Both use 5-14% cpu when I shake my mouse and 0% when I don’t.

Refresh is significantly faster with Mithril, idk why, probably because static html parser is slow. (Opera, Windows 10, no extensions).

With a single span per row instead of 200 both take 23Mb.

Removing bootstrap from the head inconsistently frees 0-2Mb for both.
Getting the wrong case for an article or picking the wrong conjugated form for the verb is about as far from being a "grave grammatical mistake" as can be. Yes it matters, no it's not remotely reasonable or acceptable to just stop listening to someone because they said "dem" instead or "der", or the fucked up adjective declension (which is nice to get right but objectively sometimes carries information) for example.

And no we really don't care, or at least I don't. I am a native English speaker who goes months at a time without speaking to another native English speaker. I would never judge someone for it. I would be ashamed of myself to just stop listening to someone for mixing up word order slightly or dropping a preposition or picking the wrong conjugated form of a verb. If I understand them, then it's fine. If I can help them improve their English, by pointing something out, I will. It's because I'm not an arsehole. Ignoring someone as soon as they mess up a verb conjugation is honestly detestable.
Show HN: Trade on Elon's Tweets
Hi,
I present my new tool which helps you with trading.

The Problem:
When Elon Musk and other big players tweet about stocks, crypto, etc. sometimes these tweets manage to make a huge effect on a stock or crypto market. Therefore not being among the first ones who sees these tweets can be really disappointing.

The Solution:
- Tracksy.co tool monitors Elon Musk's tweets so that you could get notified whenever he tweets again. Also as Elon is not the only big player in Twitter, Tracksy.co has the ability to track other 5 Business and 5 Crypto world influencers + 3 ANY Twitter profiles of your choice.
- Tracksy.co can notify you about the tweets by sending you a SMS message or if you do not like getting a lot of SMSs, then you can choose Email as a notification method. Or both!
- Elon or other influencers can tweet a lot, meaning you would get a lot of SMSs or/and Emails, therefore I strongly recommend you of using Tracksy's tweet filters where you can specify any keyword(s) so that you would get notifications only when those keywords are mentioned in a Tweet (ex.: Bitcoin,Tesla).

Feedback:
Really appreciate your feedback.
- What do you think about this product?
- Is there anything that is missing in this product? If so I would consider adding it.
- Would you use Tracksy.co? If not, then why?
- Do you think the market fit is right (investors)? Maybe other social groups might also be interested in being the first ones to see someone's tweets?

Thanks,
Tom
I used it about 1.5 years ago.

I wish I had access to the issues I was going back and forth with your team on, but I no longer have access to that email account.

One big thing we wanted was relationships. Perhaps we’d keep data in a table and some entries would link to another document. At the time, this wasn’t possible but I was told it was on the horizon/being considered.

Otherwise we had issues with performance slow downs when we allowed documents to get very large. This was generally bearable, but we had some documents we didn’t want to break apart (for reasons), and opening them up became a little frustrating. They didn’t scroll well and editing them was laggy, for example.

I trust your team has been working hard on it because it was very evident that the team cared a lot and was super attentive. I constantly worried I was being annoying, but I got quick, steady, and very gracious responses, always looking to provide useful information. Super positive experience in that regard!
I searched for Sensor Station LLC. That points to this company: https://www.sensorstation.co/

One of the most maddening things about ChatGPT is that it swears it is absolutely unable to do a number of things that it will happily do if you word the request differently. I assume this is due to some sort of negative training, but argghhh.

People often elaborate moderately beyond the direct point that they started off in reply to. You are making an incorrect characterization of the problem. Your reply was unclear in context.
This approach of treating everyone like criminals is pervasive in current times. Look at all the cameras on the streets. The logging of all internet data. The CSAM crap on iPhones. Even security scanners in retail which have been around at least 20 years.

It’s the easy way out imo, instead of employing expensive labour to actually catch criminals, and somehow society has been convinced that it’s ok.

I do think it’s a gradient and not black and white. Retail security scanners - ok fine, cameras everywhere - why?
"Cash is king. If you are buying a non running classic car and have a tow vehicle and trailer ready you can drive a hard bargain in the moment."

If I send a 10k payment to someone via bank transfer it's in their bank account in 10 seconds. Maybe you live in a country where there are much harsher restrictions?
We have money orders, they count basically the same as cash but they are exempt from this law. I saw three in my life. I was given one when I was paid my first salary and didn't have a bank account, and I requested one twice to buy a car in 2011 and 2014.
Neither them nor Europeans are used to less benign governments.

And the problem with good governments (and fair elections and other properties of decent democracies) is that they can accidentally let bad actors in (populism is one helluva drug for the masses), and bad actors may attempt to undermine the institutions, turning democracies into kleptocracies and dictatorships if they succeed.

Then all those safeguards in the name of all that's good become perfect tools for abuse in the name of all the control over whoever dares to oppose the established order.
Heh, last summer I walked 20 miles down the highway to a neighbouring town just to say I did.
Greater international freedom for private interests as a consequence of globalisation and digitalisation has grown significantly over the past few decades and represents a keen threat to our democracies. Some of those that profit the most and can afford to pay the most, utilise their new found freedoms to avoid paying as much as possible. This leaves democratically elected governments as hollow shells only able to effectively tax those that those who can afford it the least and thus; cannot hide.

As such it is important for organisations such as the EU to try to re-assert their control over private interests to prevent the loss of control that has occurred over recent decades from making democratically run organisations completely impotent in the long run.

This narrative has not a great deal to do with the linked article and everything to do with the discussion on here. A discussion that seems to completely ignore these changes that have happened to our societies in recent decades while holding an irresponsible view that financial regulation is tyranny and that taxation is theft. It is _critical_ to our democratic values that our institutions that are accountable to the people, are able to control private interests that grow too large and are able to raise tax receipts from those that wish to try and hide. That includes the black market.

You didn't even mention GWT. I don't know what is causing it, but yeah, Google has dropped some turds over the years.
They do mention that the one you're mentioning was developed in literate programming style, where the program is a LaTeX document.

I wonder what kind of an impact literate programming has on maintenance. Can't imagine rewriting 40 lines of commentary to suit a 2 line code change to be particularly enjoyable.
The government has control over that in any case. For instance a judge can force a liability on you.

Damn that's insane! I feel like they have to be miscounting something or way more of crypto is "illicit activities" then I ever imagined.
Not everyone who wants to deposit large amounts of currency is a criminal.

Even though it has a facade of protection, this isn't about protection against criminals; it's about control and being able to track citizens.
I would not want walking far on foot to be illegal just because most people who actually did that were doing so to further a criminal goal, no. That is how we slide into authoritarianism.

It's the same reason I want a right to privacy; you could argue that most people who want to hide something from the state want it because they're doing something illegal, but I still find it valuable that I can do things without being tracked. It's the same as the right to go outside without any form of ID; most people who aren't up to anything illegal could make sure to always bring valid ID at all times, but I value the freedom to not be forced by the state to bring something. It's the same reason I would oppose a law that you must wear a GPS tracking device on you at all times; most people do it willingly with their phone and watch these days, and the only people the law would really affect would be criminals, but I value the freedom to go somewhere without being tracked.

I currently make all payments electronically, but I value the freedom to be able to transfer money without leaving traces of the transaction, even though I don't currently exercise that freedom. Because the state doesn't have any business micro-managing individuals' behaviour like that.
High performance networking also uses shared memory. I wonder if MMU backed shared memory is a better “universal abstraction” than file handles (at least for high performance workloads).
You are spot on. A few minutes before I saw your comment I put something along similar lines.

In fact a similar observation can be made of life in general. Tyrants often to the top because people have ceded control to them, slowly. It's the boiling frog phenomena. Things are not noticed until it's too late.
I'm glad the idiots that run the country I live in who do it so badly are now dictating EU wide policy, they're not competent or experienced enough to be doing this as they've only been their own country for 5 minutes.

This is also the same country implementing laws to curb dissent and deviation from the narrative which is generally indicative as to where the EU is going. Imagine being worse than the UK.

even with disabilities, you can usually exercise. I can't run or really walk, but my upper body's gotten strong from pushing my chair.

Was reading reviews for Brother recently.

"The printers keep track of every page that goes through it whether or not you use any consumables and forces you to replace the toners the belt the drum and the fuser regardless of the actual condition of these parts."

And many other reports.

Note: I have a Brother monochrome laser that is great, but it seems like there are no printer companies left standing that I would buy a printer from now.
Funny, when I read "startup disrupting the industry" I translate that to "new ways to screwing customers just like the old ways".
This one trick Venture Capitalists don't want you to know.
Have a brother laser. HL2070N. prints just black. Like 10 years. Indestructible. Uses the cheap toner. Nice prints. CUPS. Debian.
Is that ratio a target? I thought it was a kind of hyperbole. There probably are places where more than one in 10 people are laundering money.
Apparently many people are able to sue. Look up the "Leacraft v. Canon" case, which is somewhat related.
> But even in the plentiful places where we do, cities grow in two dimensions.

We don't have plentiful places to be able to construct any linear cities. The majority of the world's habitable zones do not permit such construction. You would eventually have to oblige with what geography and geology imposes on you even after a few kilometers.

Saudi Arabia has immense desert stretches that are uniform and that are fit for this purpose. What would prohibit it would be the desert environment not being conducive to living. But an efficient planning and infrastructure like they are likely doing would make it possible.

> This is indeed a good example, though it proves the opposite of your point.

No, you disproved your point:

> The Egyptians spread in a linear fashion because (and only because) the land far away from the Nile was pretty much uninhabitable (except with a nomadic lifestyle).

That is precisely the reason why Egyptians lived in linear fashion, and thats also the reason why their entire civilization never had infrastructure problems and it was able to undertake construction projects like the pyramids.The reason for having to urbanize in such a linear outline does not negate its merits.

Moreover - the majority of the world's civilizations and urbanization has developed along the rivers. That many rivers do not follow a straight line and turns in curvers does not mean that they are not line-like in their behavior. Even when the land far away from the rivers were arable and habitable, the urbanization did not spread too far away from the river. The infrastructure that the river provides is way too efficient to give up. Even if it is only for providing water for consumption and for irrigation.

Actually, it is so even today - the majority of world's urbanization and mega cities and even industries are still spread along the rivers.
>What's the practical benefit of this? Metro North already runs into Grand Central

Yeah, but it does so by coming down the very west edge of the Bronx; through Woodlawn and Fordham. This new route comes much further east through Co-op City and Hunts Point with four new stations planned. It'll be a lot quicker to get into the city (particularly to the west side) from the East Bronx now.

The one reluctant use I see of JS based UI (does anyone have an alternative solution?) is to reuse API. Right now we have two code path one where a user action renders the html server side and returns it another where an API call for similar work returns a JSON. A JS UI page can consume the JSON and can render the page reusing the core API.

What's the solution to such a use case?
That's for people. For infrastructure, that is physically so too. But interlinking different units in the different points in a circular structure introduces a lot of complexities if done. Much easier to construct standalone units that get supplied from a line.
If the money were yours, it would be legal to destroy cash you possess. I don't think it is in most places that use fiat as a medium of exchange.
