I don't think it's terribly special. Second brain seems to value the connections between fragments of thought over the thoughts themselves, that these connections will guide the creation or your outlook on thoughts originating from them, a focus on process rather than output, assuming that the output is the result of the process (oftentimes not true). Alternatively, when you are thinking about something, you can quickly find the related thoughts quickly by this organization that can help you advance it faster or more creatively. This assumes that your past thoughts are relevant to your future thoughts which are oftentimes not the case.

It can work well for technical topics that are not quickly outdated and usually have less transitory interpretations, but not as great for subjective things. If you want to have a consistency in your thinking, it can be helpful, but the value of that is also questionable. The last is more psychological, but if you keep getting distracted by a lot of thoughts, by putting them down there and being able to retrieve them when you want, it lets you focus more on things in the present without being distracted by them. If you are exploring a topic over a long span of time, and need to keep reorienting yourself back to the topic, it can be helpful.
Calling it ”sherlocked” is recency bias on our part. Apple learned it from Microsoft, who took a thing that happened from time to time and operationalized it into a full-blown business strategy.

One by one, Microsoft took aim at successful DOS and Windows applications, especially business applications, and displaced them. Lotus… WordPerfect… Everyone, really. Unless your app was for a niche too specialized to be worth the hassle, Microsoft wanted to use you for market research and then either buy you, buy your competitor, or clone you.
That’s not difficult, it’s what Coinbase and Kraken do. But what if you want to offer derivative products that are leveraged by default where someone can deposit 5k and wants to buy 30k worth of a shitcoin that can drop 90% in a day?

I disagree. Prosecutors have discretion over whether to prosecute for exactly these situations. You can do both.

We could definitely see both use cases as valid. It's one of those questions that doesn't have a definitive right answer.

A trivial example off the top of my head, zoom-relative widths/sizes are super useful in mind mapping and similar activities where you want to "zoom in" (excuse the pun) to a sub-topic and "zoom-out" to see the overall picture. 1000x zoom is useless if your pen stroke is width of the screen.

A counter example is from GP.

We tried to listen to, but not blindly follow, what our (vocal) users were telling us. I'm stressing "vocal" here not because they were obnoxious - just cognizant of the fact that the silent majority is, well, silent. Hopefully the vocal ones are a good proxy, but that isn't always the case.
> almost all of these Mars robots seem to do useful science well beyond the end of the stated mission

How are we defining "useful science" here? They all do some kind of scientific investigations, but it's hard to say if it's useful or not. If you look at coverage or discussions about the lander (including here), people get very excited about the landings, and somewhat excited about the pictures. The science almost never gets discussed. Even when NASA tries to hype it up, it seems the most important stuff they have is continually telling us they found Mars has some water and used to be wet, and that there's the possibility there once was life on Mars.

People seem enamored with the idea that we're sending things to Mars and doing "something." But there doesn't seem to be a lot of concern about what that "something" actually is.
> You got to love how industry regulations really defeat most of the benefits and points of the decentralization by going in the opposite direction.

Are industry regulations preventing self custody?

I hope and believe we're talking about regulation being rightly applied to centralised exchanges. So they don't front run customers on token listings (Coinbase), use customer funds when customer's haven't allowed them to (FTX), replace their customer's coins with a different currency (Binance), or whatever else.
Performance can be orthogonal to complexity, though. Sometimes I've seen 10x gains in performance by rewriting using 90% fewer lines of code.

Sometimes, I need to add a lot of extra code to gain 30% performance.

Well, I suppose it is a bi-modal distribution:

Level 1: Naive implementation of a problem, using little code. Often full of bugs or uncovered edge cases, or very slow.
Level 2: Most bugs and edge cases are covered, but the code base is enormous and still very inefficient.
Level 3: The code is successfully refactored. An elegant solution was found, that removes a lot of repetitive code, while improving quality and performance (often by a lot).
Level 4: The code is tuned to near-perfection. Most of the code is dedicated to hardcore optimizations, making it really hard to understand to a novice. Also, this level risks introducing bugs and vulnerabilities that are very hard to find.
When will RedHat learn that too many knobs and buttons, especially global settings, result in leaks and exploits? I don't care if the customers demand these.

This is mostly a myth.
I feel like you’re nitpicking and ignoring the actual argument you originally made?

You can compile arbitrary programs to WASM, like you can compile arbitrary programs to x86 or ARM. It’s effectively a CPU target. You can take the whole of Python and SQLite, compile them to WASM and run a web framework on top of that via WASM in the browser[1].

If those programs utilise specific os-level behaviour that can’t be shimmed, or explicitly throw an error when being compiled to WASM then of course they won’t work without modifications.

Meanwhile, the JVM is not anything like a CPU target. It’s a very high-level VM designed for a particular type of gc’d and jitted language.

Fortunately, this planet has abundant land and sea life that will absorb and fix that carbon dioxide for you, liberating highly reactive oxygen in the process. No problem - the amount of carbon used is proportional to the amount of carbon available. All available evidence shows that CO2 lags global temperature rises, rather than leading it. Science IS real, and it says carbon is NOT a pollutant.

You should have no guilt over this (although efficiency is always to be aimed for). And carbon is probably the least objectionable byproduct of burning the bunker oil that fuels ships - you can't make anything that heavy burn cleanly without insane combustion temperatures.
I suppose converting SVG to EPS should be relatively straightforward; some converters exist.
Did you read the description? That $35 computer you linked has "no memory, no cpu, no hard drive".
Well, you give a mission plan of one year, and design a rover to fit that plan. And because you don't want to fail, you engineer everything to have a tiny failure rate in the first year. That also makes the systems likely to work for many more years, but that's just a side effect. You have only explicitly designed and spent money on that first year. Taking funding from that first year to add a system that only becomes useful in year three is a completely different matter, and likely much harder to greenlight.
I’ve thought about this. I think it really depends on whether we need more climate-minded voters in the future. If we do then those susceptible to this message are exactly the wrong ones to hear it.
The problem is that WASM isn't really what you're saying. Yes, it's language agnostic. But as part of its agnosticism, it is also completely lacking in basically any runtime services. Yes, with WASI we get a POSIX-type API, but we're still lacking garbage collection, sophisticated memory management, optimized complex types, monitoring conventions etc.

This is great for running existing "native" type code compiled from C/C++/Rust but its profoundly unsuited to the kind of development that most application or service developers do, which is in higher level languages with automatic memory management, monitoring / profiling services, etc. All of which either have to be re-invented in the WASM world, or run inside the WASM container at 2x or more the runtime/energy cost. And for what benefit?

It's one thing to get a game engine running in a web browser. Neat hack / potentially decent way to ship a client.

It's another thing to try to repackage existing working, relatively well engineered, server runtime systems inside it for almost no benefit at all.

TDLR: WASM is not a universal VM appropriate for server apps. It is a solution for shipping a certain kind of application in a certain circumstance. There are other, better, solutions for "containerizing" services.

Finally, after 25 years in this industry, the world I want to head to is higher level, where things are managed declaratively with explicit, visible, well described rules and relations and logic. WASM seems to me to push the other direction. Black boxes of fairly low-level code, each reinventing its own runtime wheel and with almost no visibility from the administration side of what's happening in there. I find that kind of sad.
How accurate can you make this approach? What if I wanted to make sure that the load was not stealing even a dollarcent of energy per year?
Well, cigarettes are addictive after a while.

So by starting to smoke you could argue that your liberty is already being taken away from you to an extent and you're instead an unwilling slave to the tobacco industry.

Ask HN: How random you think Spotify(or companies with user data) is?
Hi HN, I have a question! As you know you can listen Spotify playlists in a "random" order. I've been wondering about this lately and I don't think there's any chance that these randomizers are implemented using regular rand() functions.
Do you have any experience/idea on how these random functions are implemented in companies that have massive user data? What factors they take into account?
Not exactly, you should dig deeper, many brokers do use your shares. If you agree to it… and you very well could have not reading fine print.

“To be clear, your brokerage firm cannot lend out your stocks without your permission. However, you may have signed a customer agreement that explicitly allows your broker to lend out your securities. This clause is often tucked deep within the customer agreement, and few investors pay much attention to it.”

You are correct that the pivot to industry is not particularly fairly to the rest of the user base.

Not only that, but it was not very sound business-wise either. RPi's stable, rock-bottom, "cost-plus" pricing policy is great for the educational market, but not particularly compatible with B2B, where you want to be raising your prices as long as the customer is happy to pay.

Not only is it a healthier way to run a B2B business, but it would also address the current demand/supply problems in a fairer way.

But you couldn't do this without turning your back on the historical user base!

I find using the website Short Form to help with get to the meet of these self-help books. Can't recommend that enough.
Seems a bit shortsighted to me. Given that if they avoid a catastrophic failure before landing these things seems to consistently last beyond the originally planned mission, they should be building them with mission extensions in mind.

Not putting all your eggs in one basket of course. Shit happens and probes are still lost even today. But a simple device to remove dust such as a vibration function, a small blower fan or something else seems to be a major value add.

Even if it costs $1 million extra to do, it costs far more to build the rover and send it there so you are still saving money.
With language servers, I think the big IDEs will be less relevant. It'll be easier for anyone to write a text editor with language server integration and make it with just the way they like.

Nobody (that I know of or have seen) wants to punish him for his past. He, and they, are actively and currently proud of his surveilling work, so it's not in the past.

The walrus operator incident was a big part of why Guido stepped down:

> He credits his decision to step down as partly due to his experience with the turmoil over PEP 572: "Now that PEP 572 is done, I don't ever want to have to fight so hard for a PEP and find that so many people despise my decisions."

I agree that Guido should have been immune, but even he wasn't.

That is how digital art changes hands.
Sort of, except the way Java did it is awkward because they put a method on Object instead of making it an interface. It's not clear from the API what's really usable as a map key.

I'm not sure making all comparable objects in Go usable as map keys is a good idea either.
That was pretty good.

Do your various skill levels affect the game in any way?
> no company in the entire crypto space that isn't a wretched hive of scum and villainy

Entire financial space. It's just that traditional financial companies are better regulated (and are better at working within the regulations to hide their crimes). But they are not in any way better humans. For every FTX or Binance there's an Enron or Deutch Bank ten times the size and just as villainous.
Don't underestimate the size of a planet
For us FigJam (really similar to Miro) works because we don’t really do asynchronous editing much, most of the time someone prepares the core of it (a screen flow diagram for instance), and during a meeting we iterate through it, discuss and comment the blocs, rearrange as needed.

The main advantage to this approach IMO is the ability to quickly cleanup random bits with approval from the person that wrote them, so you don’t end up with orphans or stuff that clashes with everything else.

In a way it’s really a whiteboard, and it’s “done” once the meeting ends, until the next iteration.
That's not the point OP is making.

"If the country gets its act together".. you know by fair elections, good governance and you know by similar such 'non-crypto' things.
That was (mostly) a peaceful split, with countries that had been dominated by the Soviets for 50 years gaining independence. The rest of the Russian empire has been under Moscow/St Petersburg for 500 years. The ethnic Russian elites will not give up their Asian territories without a fight.

And, after what's happened to Ukraine, none of the new states will give up their nukes. We'll have a nuclear armed Dagestan, run by whoever was aggressive enough to seize power.
> steels seem to get better results

In a multi-purpose electrical kitchen oven, sure.

In a hotter, dedicated gas pizza oven such as a Ooni or Roccbox, the supplied ceramic stone works perfectly, and a steel would cook too fast.
Looking more closely you are right, my apologies. Thank you so much. Have not seen this video before but it does cover what I'm after. Thanks again!
No, it's not. One actually has a valid business with flawed implementation which effected a portion of customers. The other is a Ponzi scheme that stole 100% of assets from 100% of customers. In Wells case, affected customers have legal recourse that can compensate them for their suffering, because the overall business is solvent. In FTX case, you get nothing, nada, zero, zip.
But once prices decrease people priced out come into the market. The prices won’t drop if there continues to be demand in excess of supply below the current market price. The $3k price you mention is equilibrium, if it drops then more people want units than exist as units because now it’s become affordable, so prices go back up to $3k.

Ultimately though, this is the affordable housing problem - the prices are so high all those who want to live in sf can’t afford to live in sf. You made my point for me in fact - even if you make high density housing you don’t make it affordable.

The only way to make it affordable is to make it unnecessary to live in SF by unlocking SF employment anywhere.
As someone who hates SBF I think he was right on requiring proof of capitalization for stablecoins that say they're capitalized. USDT used to say this on their website, then removed it and now they just print money (Hacker News doesn't support emoji but I'd use the person throwing trash into the bin emoji here).
That's a very ignorant statement; they are still in production and entirely enough for many use cases, just like original arduinos are.

They are also like $2 a pop for whole breakout board and less if you make actual device.

I do agree if you just want to tinker the tiny extra for ESP32 is probably worth just for tinkerer but there is still a plenty of devices (in IOT space mostly) that are just "ESP8266 + some peripherals" and thus nice and hackable
>SBF laid out in detail how crypto exchanges actually make money back in an April interview:

>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-25/sam-bankm...

"exchange" is mentioned exactly zero times in the article. However, I'll let that slide as presumably you meant to imply that exchanges make money through yield farming, which also doesn't make sense because yield farming doesn't involve the participation of exchanges at all. As mentioned in the article, the concept is that a smart contract accepts deposits and hands out tokens, which constitute the yield. No part of that requires exchanges.
You can do it with YAML, and when you do, you end up with something big and complicated like XML became.
This doesn’t match my experience although all reports seem to focus on one bedrooms. In my experience most housing, or at least most people, just get room mates and end up finding places much cheaper to live. I also wonder what areas don’t count as Boston despite being on local public transit to the city.
They did and people freaked out. Other than mismanagement, I think that move is one that doomed the service. Would have been interesting to see it through.
Pizza is one of my standard food items. E.g., I get bread and pizza flour in 25 pound bags from Sam's Club. Each batch of dough uses 650 ml water, 1 tablespoon of Fleischmann's active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 kilogram of the flour. I end up with 8 chunks of pizza dough. So, each chunk of dough is good for one pizza for one.

No way do I want to try to compete with the artistry of brown spots from 600+ F wood-fired pizza ovens, etc. I don't even want to warm up the oven in my kitchen stove.

So, I put the pizza in just a clean, dry standard cast iron frying pan, put on a glass cover from a glass casserole dish set, and set the stack on a standard stove burner for 22 minutes.

Doing that, the bottom got done while the top was still not hot enough, so to insulate the bottom I set the dough on a round sheet of Teflon. Cut the sheet from a long roll from Amazon intended for drying fruit or some such.

Works fine. Get a good pizza for $1- each.

Ah, the BBQ is better: Picnic pork shoulder, ~9 pounds, skin side down, on a rack, in an uncovered roasting pan, in a 200 F oven to an internal temperature of 175 F, separated, chopped, sauced, warmed in a microwave, with coleslaw. ~$2 per sandwich.

Or a 1/2 pound of 80% lean ground beef, frozen, as a round slice from a 5 pound tube from WalMart, in a cast iron frying pan, ..., with a sauce of heavy cream, beef consomme, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, etc. -- fake, cheap, Steak Diane!
I made this same mistake with an old iPod. It would have been nice if Apple had at least warned me on uninstall before slapping me in the face. That was the last day I used that device.
Inform7 internally works like a very primitive rules engine. The idea we had was to replace that with a RETE engine. Here's a book about writing an adventure game off a 1980's era rules engine

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZBN2Y4W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

I tried writing an adventure game in Drools and was able to move between a few rooms but the big problem I ran into was the error messages from Drools didn't make a heck of a lot of sense since Drools mashes up the Java compiler in a complex way with its own syntax.

A really interesting system though would not just have a RETE engine but also a theorem prover. Lately, I have been doing stuff with OWL in which you can define an ontology with not-so-expressive rules and be able to prove its consistency or inconsistency, once you add math to first-order-logic all you can do is say that the prover ran for six hours and didn't find any inconsistencies.

The appeal that Inform 7 adds to this is that it does a very good job of providing a world definition language that looks like English.
Seconded. Making pizza well requires specialised equipment.

In my case, a Gas-fired Ooni that reaches 500C / 930F at the back, and comes with a ceramic "stone"- As does the roccbox.

Having a pizza oven changed the game.
The question is about new copyright in both cases, not subsisting copyright. You hold the copyright to the elements originating with you in a derivative work.
I think the trend graphs on the website show it the best. Over time my strength and durability increased so I am able to do more push-ups with bigger sets each day. Eg. I started by doing 10 push-ups a set and about 100 push-ups per day total. Now I am doing 500 push-ups per day pretty easy in sets of 20 or 30 push-ups.
slowly lowers flamethrower indeed, you're right, HTML and WebGL with JavaScript or webasm can do anything flash can..

They can't do it in the cycle-count that flash could (I remember seeing 3D vector demos running in 640x480 pixels on my 133 mhz pentium), but they will do it, and probably look almost identical across two different versions of the same brand of browser..

But the real point is the authoring tools, and there simply aren't any.. We're stuck in the early 80s with a f*cking text-editor for GUI work..

Geez, there were authoring tools for making nice GUI applications in the Windows 3.11 era.. But modern web development has yet to reach that level of maturity.
