This also happens in Montana and around Four Corners, wherever there are reservations and non-native Americans mingling. The old bias against drunken Indians rears its head. Local characterizations propagate the narrative that the reservation is full of lazy drunks, dopeheads, or abusive and combative individuals.

I was able to work with members of the Ute and Navajo tribes in Four Corners years ago when our company worked on reservation lands and was required to hire a percentage of local laborers. Those guys worked as hard as the rest of us out in the July sun down in the hot canyons. They laughed at and with each other poking jibes at each other since their tribes were traditionally not allies. It was all good-natured ribbing and I'm sure they knew each other or of each other before working with us. They worked the length of our contract in the area and had few issues with attendance or effort.

Local whites always talked down about the natives but I found them to be as dependable as Mexican and central American immigrants (legal or otherwise) that I worked with in Texas and other states. These people needed jobs and were willing to work to keep a job and the quality of their efforts was on par or better than the quality of local labor.

In contrast, our company cycled through local non-native help. Many of those people appeared and worked long enough to earn a paycheck and then disappeared. Some even played the employment game where a group of friends hired out to each of the three non-local companies and on any given day your rolls would show all of them working with one of your crews, some of them with one of your crews, or none of them with your crews that day. They went where they thought the best pay opportunity of the day would be and had a friend sign them in where they were expected to be so they could earn a check there too. This went on for weeks until one of our crews had a problem in the field and in the process of sorting it out and looking for a scapegoat, they went through the rolls of potential crew members who should have had responsibility and discovered that several people listed as being present and working did not show up at all.

Since the three companies were in the same business and everyone knew everyone else our party manager had a talk with the other guys and they compared employee rolls and discovered all the overlap and the system of sign-ins. All of those people were fired immediately when they showed up for their next day's work. These were ordinary white guys who all lived in that area.
You would. Not OP but I believe they're highlighting an analogous situation in our present time.
I've used a personal wiki for several years now, and I think it works just fine. Surprisingly, I don't really link pages together all that much, but I make heavy use of tagging and categorising. I find that's been enough for me.

I don't really follow links, and mostly I just use the search bar when I need anything. I think one thing that's tripping lots of people up is they are trying to use these tools the way they think is expected of them. Instead, it's better to just make it as frictionless as possible to add notes, and as frictionless as possible to read notes you've written before.

Everything else is just procrastination with "productivity tools"
The article strongly implies it was domestic terrorists.

Where does politics come into this? Are terrorists not your enemies?
That has been my experience. It’s astonishing to see folks advocate for fascist theocracy when that’s Jesus taught pretty much the opposite.
> The suexual and gender disorders should be treated just like any medical condition, handled based on evidence/clinical trials with patient's well-being in mind.

That is how it is how care is offered, as I understand it? Isn't the entire problem that Musk et al fundamentally disagree that the state of the research is true?
As tempting as it may be to think this way and attempt to critique my personality based on a short textual response to a comment on HN, you may want to consider the following:

You may say something that hits 99% of the people in the way that you intend, but there will be people who fall within the 1% corner cases and take your discouragement to heart. It is important for those people to understand that naysayers are often wrong -- and they don't like having it pointed out. Some of those people may not even leave a comment, but what they read will linger in their minds.
It's a cult
Unless they plan to offer similar services in future it seems Peloton are missing an opportunity to become a platform by not providing an API.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say I don’t believe this. I simply don’t believe anywhere near the figures people use for the energy used to mine Bitcoin.

Drive down your street, look at all the businesses with their power on, all running computers. Every home running lights, fans, computers, video games, TVs, etc. then we have industrial manufacturing, etc.

You mean to tell me there’s some people in a warehouse around here with racks of servers running hashes? Just hashes, not a data center. We’d need hundreds of those warehouses to be 1% of the On-grid power. Sorry, I don’t buy it.

"Phonecalls at least rely on speech instead of an algorithm deciding what to show you"

People participate in social media. Think of all the creative content that exists. In your example you compared a two way phone call with only one part of social media.

"Helping in a Soup Kitchen is obviously more productive than doom-scrolling."

Though subjective, I agree with you. However without social media how many 14 year olds were helping at soup kitchens instead of watching TV, playing video games, or outside playing. You implied that social media was impacting selfless benevolent acts.

This could even get complicated where I show that young people use social media in a positive way to call out social issues or make people aware of volunteer events.

"All of those examples are better uses of time than passively consuming "Social Media"

Again, social media doesn't have to be passive, your comment that I'm replying to and this reply show that.

I believe you are letting your cynicism impact your view of social media
If you can start with a hot fire and sufficient kindling, you don't always need to do it as a separate step, but otherwise you can burn crumpled newspaper, use a hairdryer or heat gun, or sometimes even a large candle. If the room temp is higher than the outside, sometimes just a fan is enough.

I now maintain the MUD I played as a child and have been playing whack a mole with bugs like this for years. I'm a very poor C coder so still run into issues pretty often! Interestingly the game is much more stable on my MBP that I use for development than it is on the production Ubuntu 18 server I run it on. Not too bad for a Diku.

Do you hang out in the Mud Coder's Guild Slack at all? You might find it interesting: https://mudcoders.com/join-the-mud-coders-guild-6770301ddcbd...
I don't know about the greatness that's coming in the operating system space.

There seems to be a lot of focus on taking control from the consumer and into the hands of the manufacturer, similar to the model used by mobile phones already.

Usually there's ways around it like with Apple's system integrity protection and sealed system volume. But attestation is also becoming an ever bigger thing and I could see apps being blocked on those systems in the future.
Thats exactly why its a bad idea to use averages in this particular case.
Oh look Ruby is still slow.

One way to handle that could be to regulate when the new drugs are used, and only allow use for humans when there are resistant microbes.
I talk to them and throw cashews at them from my balcony. They have gotten pretty close in a matter of weeks, despite having a cat (she is scared of them tbh and I think they know). I also leave some nuts on the railing near my back door for them to grab (make sure they watch me place them) so they can get them when I go inside (my cat loves watching this and the little birds). Though sometimes they do a quick grab if there's some distance. It really is a lot of fun and to watch their behavior patterns. For example, there will often only be one or two on the ground and checking things out while more in the trees or roofs. Once they realize those two are not dying from the food you feed there's a few caws and more come down. The spotters are the ones that make the quick grabs at my railing and it took a bit for this to happen so I think they trust me some. In a different place I lived one crow came right up to me, just out of arm's reach, for sunflower seeds. They really are smart and friendly creatures. They'll even talk back a bit.
A better way to think about it is: for a given line of code, how much context do you need in order to understand what function is actually going to be called? Yes, some compiler-rt or soft-fp function might get called but you know that's happening and what it does.

With most languages you need significantly more context than you do in Zig - in C you need to know what preprocessor shenanigans might be going on; in C++ pretty much anything could be happening (operator overloads, virtual functions, constructors, destructors, who knows what else). With Rust you need to know what traits are imported, and if proc macros are involved then anything goes.
Looks like more of a work in progress.
Its still doesn't support GPUs as its says in the README and neither gamepads.

Still pretty cool project, gonna keep an eye on it for sure, for now on Linux its best to just use Steam remote play.
Nice comparison.

IMO average should be ditched and median used instead for personal emissions for a country. Even in reasonably low inequality OECD countries the difference between average and median is substantial as a low percentage of people drive the average high.
Cows can indeed be dangerous. We raise a few dairy cows here; they know us and eat out of our hands. When one of our 1000lb girls was in heat, she tried to mount my wife, and it was sheer luck that she escaped with only a sore leg.
Intended those figures as a ballpark minimum goal to sustain when plateaued, not something you'd start with.

This is a maintenance/hygiene routine, the objective is to do this daily until you're dead or otherwise disabled. Just make sure the amount is enough to both have great negative feedback and confer obvious health/fitness/physique advantages you'll be upset about losing.

It doesn't matter if it takes you 10 years to reach 100/day, what matters is that you kept doing it every day up to and beyond that >=100 point in time.
There are thousands of those warehouses, but they are concentrated in areas where power is really cheap.
It took me too long to understand this, but I'll toss in one exception to your rule: storage (short term and long term). I've found that it's frequently useful and economical to upgrade long term storage; eg. the HDs/SSDs until recently were on a price curve such that you were better off postponing buying more until you needed it. And quite a few of my systems have gotten a RAM bump midlife (where prices had come down). Alas, as more as more systems now come with soldered down memory, I usually max it out for longevity.
Careful now, this is an unapproved thought divergence.
I'd think it's fair to say anyone attacking my country's power grid is my political enemy.
We did something similar for VRWorkout where group sessions were available as an external ical calendar.
The problem was that one can not add an external calendar to google calendar from the mobile device. Only from the web calendar, which is kind of annoying.

Not sure if they are using an external calendar, but what would be the best way to update a big group of people (that opt into it) about certain events that happen every few days ?
If it's too obvious that your app is just a web-app shell, you risk rejection from the iOS app store at least, and they'll tell you to just use the 'bookmark website as app' thing. Needs to still feel like a native app, which is possible but more work.
You might benefit from talking to somebody professional about this, but I'm also going to suggest an app that might at first make you feel quite anxious but I promise with use might make you deal with these thoughts more comfortably: https://www.wecroak.com/

It's self explanatory. I've used it every day for a few years now. It makes me feel far more centred, far less anxious, far more able to deal with the swells and dips of daily life. It has also made me face those fears about parents or myself becoming sick as an inevitability that can have a beauty to it. Ignoring it won't make it go away or any better, just all the more painful when it railroads into your life.

Wish you well my friend, good luck with whatever you do, but if this approach feels overwhelming, definitely consider having a chat with somebody about it.
I started using one professionally and found it fairly helpful. Mostly I just type all my meeting notes and useful things I discover into my daily notes, and try to tag the top-level node with at least the name of the project and maybe the people I’m meeting with. Then I can go to the project page and see a history of the discussion, which has been helpful on numerous occasions: instead of “I think I remember someone saying that foo service is going to be deprecated soon”, I can tell my teammates “Alice from the baz team told me two months ago that foo service will be deprecated in favor of bar, here’s a link to the doc outlining the reasons”. Probably 80% of the benefit just comes from having searchable daily notes, but the linking is pretty nice too.

Also helpful in 1:1s with people, I can easily see a record of all interactions I’ve had with a person so it reminds me to follow up on things when we chat.
Most APs aimed at domestic situations are still on 1Gbps, but WiFi 6-series (not 6E/7) APs aimed at business/enterprise environments have had 2x5Gbps uplinks for years now - since September 2018, i.e. Aruba AP-555’s [1]. I happen to use these at home and they’re great with 100’s of concurrently connected clients (across 5+ APs and 15+ radios, usually ~70 clients per radio max) vs. Ubiquiti/Eero which always had lots of issues. Obviously though, YMMV!

Definitely agree that it’s generally not needed (>1Gbps) but game updates these days run 100GiB+ in some cases (particularly for AAA titles) and it’s nice to have a little more speed sometimes. Individual clients are usually 80MHz 2x2 so best case will get ~1.2Gbps [2], but the radio can handle a couple clients doing things at once (MU-MIMO).

For external connectivity, Comcast is now selling 1.2Gbps services in many US markets (they also overprovision the profile so speedtest.net will often see 1.4Gbps), and consequently cable modems have had 2.5GE ports for a couple years now. When combined with APs that have >1Gbps uplinks this can actually get used! Some markers can now get Comcast with 2000/200 (down/up) [3], which is a huge improvement over 1200/35 — the previous maximum.

So, it’s nice to have APs with more uplink, and it’s nice to have >1Gbps Comcast, but I’d definitely not call it mainstream yet.

Amoral, not immoral. I mean the AI won't make any moral judgement itself, and using it for whatever task doesn't carry additional moral implications other than those of the task itself, opposite to humans in which you have to care at least a little bit about what you're telling them to do.

About the task itself, it may be immoral by nature, and now it can be executed orders of magnitude faster and without the moral concerns concerting the workers themselves.
Could be but in the US alone: "...The 2021 data shows a cyber insurance market, including both U.S. domiciled insurers and alien surplus lines insurers writing business in the U.S., of roughly $6.5 billion in direct written premiums..."

Yeah Vannevar Bush is maybe an unfair example because he was truly before his time and he did build some stuff. I just felt he was worth pointing out as one of the originators of the whole knowledge graph tool for thought movement. I don’t know if he would have actually executed in modern times.
That's fine, please run the math again then. (Edit: I did not downvote, it's a legitimate question /edit)

I've done it myself also in the past because, like you, I couldn't believe it either (this was around 2018 I'd guess).

It's a fairly simple calculation to take an energy-efficient graphics card and see how many SHA2 hashes per second you can get from that, see its energy consumption (ignore the rest of the computer and connectivity to support the GPU for now), multiply that with the hash rate, et voila you get some ridiculous number (don't remember, but something like half the world's energy consumption). This indicates that all Bitcoin miners are using ASICs. Now the question becomes how efficient a Bitcoin ASIC is, and when you hunt for that number and plug that in, the result is in the same range as what the news has been saying.

Edit: if you want to take a shortcut and use a readymade hashes per gigajoule value from last summer, see figure 1 here https://ccaf.io/cbeci/index/methodology </edit>

It also roughly works out when you look at kWh costs versus Bitcoin profit per consumed kWh, so the figure is not unreasonable. People would be leaving money on the table if their real electricity consumption were lower, because then they could add more equipment and make greater profits. Everything points towards this unbelievable waste to be real, unfortunately.
The level of power required is so high that renewables are nowhere near viable at this point.

When we edit down the civic value of local newspapers, what is there? What value does a local newspaper offer that, say, a subreddit for a city doesn't offer?

For common, everyday occurrences, usually they are parroting whatever press releases are made by the authorities. OK, we can share and get that information ourselves these days.

What's left is local investigative journalism. Most local newspapers are pretty gutted to the point they don't provide this. Yet many still do. We want someone to dig into some issues with high journalistic standards, and not just acting as advocates for one issue or another. If that's the gap, how do we achieve this at a local level? How do we fund that work? Are there other mechanisms that do this well?

I don’t mind (and in fact come close to insisting that we) have adequate public education to help mold our future society members.

What I do object to is insisting that there is never a time when parents can teach their children arbitrary topic X without always having someone from the societal ministry of truth to be there to fact-check/align it.

I think the opposite is implied.

Outspoken racists tend to be "republican". Really just some flavor of extreme conservative, but republican has become a catchall term for right wing.

More subtle, closeted racists, come from all over the political spectrum through.

I've attempted to use Libreoffice Base as a replacement for Access for a very simple single user database a while back, as I didn't want to fork out for Access. I failed miserably, everything seemed hard to do compared to Access (I'm aware this might be somewhat down to familiarity). Unlike Access there seems to be little in the way of help online for Base. I couldn't get the GUI to populate a listbox from a query, and the GUI appears very limited; very bad experience. I think the GUI would be the last one I would use as a front end for anything, it seems designed in a way that necessitates Googling to do the similist of things, but like I said above returns next to nothing useful. Very frustrating.

The practice known as curtailment, is a way for miners to help electricity grids. The miners' steady demand ensures power producers are bringing in revenue to offset costs, but can power off when demand from other sources is high, such as during winter storms.

This reminds me of a video about how information is encoded in the brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHj9uVmwA_0

Apparently, scientists a few years ago figured out how a mouse's brain encodes direction. They were able to predict the shape the encoding would take, and found it in the mouse's brain. They then were able to use their findings to determine which way the mouse was facing.
I don't think I've ever met a human who was incapable of justifying their actions.
The url is the state, everything happens in response to url changes and everything changes the url.

Before I tried calling functionality and updating the url in response to user actions but since the state has to be exactly the same if you paste the url into the browser I got rid of the direct response.
Long time OneNote user (since 2003 debut) chiming in. I have been extensively test-driving Obsidian for 6 months now and couldn't be happpier.

I think both [^1] are opinionated on which layers of organization maps to where.

- OneNote: FS dir -> FS file (database) = OneNote Section (manual ordering) -> OneNote (sub-)Page (manual ordering + level) -> OneNote "note containers" (textboxes; [^2])

- Obsidian: FS dir -> FS file (plain text) = Obsidian Page (automatic ordering) -> headers in the page (manual ordering + level)

While I agree in principle that some non-leaf node should be allowed to have content, really you can see that headers/sections in Obsidian map well to the OneNote page-level organization. I wish I got a choice though...

[^1]: Out of the box. OneNote also has a major plugin bundle known as OneTastic.

[^2]: OneNote has _cosmetic_ headers in textboxes which isn't very useful.
Yes, I know but thought it would be simpler to just say Shopify. Sorry for the inaccuracy.
