> After seeing the documentary "Alone in the wilderness" by Dick Proenneke

Indeed, both series of ''Alone In The Wilderness'' by Dick Proenneke are absolutely essential viewing for anyone wishing to build a log cabin or homestead completely from scratch, off-grid, with minimal modern tools. Proenneke filmed his trips in his light aircraft to Alaska.

Wedding rings need to be cleaned, and some common materials like rose and white gold are not finishes that last forever. Many popular stones are actually quite easily damaged. Settings can loosen and stones can fall out.

The mere act of playing a vinyl records damages it. It’s a terrible example.

All my college textbooks are unacceptably outdated except for basic foundational math and science, but today’s kids are actually taught basic arithmetic in more effective ways than how I learned it.

Even non-academic prose eventually needs to be translated or supplemented as vernacular changes. Religious texts come to mind: the Bible we know as the “King James Version” has been revised dozens of times. [1]

Cast iron skillets are items that fall into that 10% category of “can actually last a few lifetimes” but as I mentioned in my original comment, my point is that this is a rarity.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version, footnote 96

Give the original text a try: https://www.originalbibles.com/the-original-king-james-bible...

It’s decently readable, but archaic enough to be difficult to follow. Spellings like “yeere” instead of “year” are all over the place. And while this is 17th century text, you barely have to leave the 20th century to find prose that’s difficult to parse without updated language.

Why are people complaining about the name of the brand and the look of a concept vehicle (which will certainly change for production)

"Sony has said it expects its software to offer subscription services, so vehicle owners will likely have to pay a monthly fee in order to access certain features."

This is the real problem, if it's anything besides XM radio. If the hardware is in the car it should be included in the price. Heated seats on a rolling basis helps no one in the world except greedy stock owners. Safety updates for software driven features actively harms the world. Saas in consumer hardware should be heavily regulated and maybe even illegal.
Yeah, probably more often than not. But if you've got in-demand skills and can afford to be choosy, then go for it if it's important to you.
> Computers flip dns lookip bits /surprisingly/ often.

Thought 1: is this because of the source/destination computer; or is this because network middleboxes, as embedded devices, are budget-optimized, and so are maybe running their CPUs at funny voltages, with low-quality RAM, etc; and DNS, as a UDP protocol, does little to prevent packets from mutating on the wire?

Thought 2: Presumably this would imply that DNS results would get bit-flipped just as often as DNS queries, no? So you'd just as often be receiving A records for bit-flipped IPs. Which you can't really do much about.
The theatrical cut was already pretty long without it. John demonstrating more leadership would likely help the viewer think of him as more than a whiney kid, but he was still the third most important protagonist.

I also think of aliens where a lot of early footage is cut after Ripley is rescued. You're left wondering how exactly Burke betrayed the colony and what happened with Ripley's life when she was drifting for so long. Again, the theatrical was already too long.
I'm not an expert on this but I'd say in order to test if the product is viable you'd have to be able to sell it with extremely minimal 'extra' features.

In other words, if you can't sell it without SSO, you can't sell it with SSO.

Hopefully you'd then get 20 customers who say "we love this but we'd also like to have SSO...". Then you'd go build all that stuff on top of it.

Accounting and finance are the result of doing business. Accounting and finance are usually not the business though.

Without doing business and creating value, there is no accounting, or finance. Often Accounting and Finance exist to keep risk manageable and if you let it too long, avoid it entirely.

Creating Value is almost certainly working through some amount of risk.

In a business, Accounting and Finance on it's own may not always create value, unless it's an accounting/finance business.

Conversely, creating value without accounting and finance will make it harder to retain the value created.

Accounting and finance functions are mostly about retaining what is working and making it more efficient.

Innovation Accounting, is another thing that is not always measured on the P&L.

Because our government is completely corrupt and doesn't represent the interests of the People, at all.

> I talked to Hollie Mengert about her experience last week. “My initial reaction was that it felt invasive that my name was on this tool, I didn’t know anything about it and wasn’t asked about it,” she said. “If I had been asked if they could do this, I wouldn’t have said yes.”

The main issue here is that someone is using her name. Luckily she does have legal protections available to her! She can trademark her name!

> “I feel like AI can kind of mimic brush textures and rendering, and pick up on some colors and shapes, but that’s not necessarily what makes you really hireable as an illustrator or designer. If you think about it, the rendering, brushstrokes, and colors are the most surface-level area of art. I think what people will ultimately connect to in art is a lovable, relatable character. And I’m seeing AI struggling with that.”

Which is spot on! AI is fantastic at rendering (which tends to be everyone's least favorite part of the process) and not so great at everything else.

> “As far as the characters, I didn’t see myself in it. I didn’t personally see the AI making decisions that that I would make, so I did feel distance from the results. Some of that frustrated me because it feels like it isn’t actually mimicking my style, and yet my name is still part of the tool.”

Good art is and will always be about the end result after a series of creative decisions made by the artist.

Professional artists have had assistants that paint large portions of their works since at least the Renaissance. In these cases they rely on their assistants for basic rendering tasks like backgrounds and folds on clothing. What makes it their painting is that they made the creative decisions.

What are you talking about? Even the most basic units are temperature controlled. How else could they work if you operate them in modes where you tap in the desired temperature, and it shows in the display? I've never seen any which didn't have that as an option. Since a decade, or so.

I find it difficult to read online in depth.

News articles seem purposely long in words, but thin in information.

Hacker news posts are one of my favorite go-tos, but admittedly I find myself embroiled in the back and forth of people's comments, like I'm seeking out a deep argument I can glean information from in a sort of Socratic-method-by-voyeurism.
Why isn't there more regulation on these? It seems something that 99.9% of voters would want to get behind. These credit report agencies horde data and then misuse it so frequently. It feels like there needs to be some accountability for misuse of data like this and breaches, especially when there's essentially no way to opt out and still function in society.
I sometimes have this reaction, and then I reflect that Steam is still a niche that might have peaked long ago given most of the top 10 played games are really old in gaming terms.

The top 2 currently most played games were first released ten years ago.

If that's the state of gaming then that's a damning indictment of the last 10 years of gaming releases. I'd wager the top 10 are currently as old as they've ever been.

Either games have got worse, gaming as a whole has stagnated, or people are playing things which aren't on steam.

Between the "xbox live" store thing, the epic store, etc, we're seeing a fragmentation of store-fronts which likely also contributes especially since Steam is the only one that's actually open about their stats.

You also have developers like Riot and Blizzard also doing their own thing.

For "live service" games like Diablo, Valorant, or indeed Roblox, a store-front like steam doesn't feel as important because it's not all about initial sales and indeed cut-price discounts aren't how the games are sold, with in-game-purchases dominating.

This leaves Steam to cater for the single-player market, but given the discrepancy in hours played between even the single player games I've enjoyed the most and the online service games, I can understand why the latter have vastly higher concurrents.
Ask HN: Antispam rules on email source code

Your HP hardware is one of two generations newer than what I used. The big difference between our experiences could be that I never used gestures and tap to click. If I had, maybe I wouldn't be happy with them.

I expand the rationale of my choices.

No tap to click: all the touchpads I used since late 90s used to move the pointer a little when I tapped. This is really bad in image editing programs. One could argue that I should use a mouse there and that is correct, but I don't use those programs much so I never have a mouse close to my desk. I think I never tested tap to click on this laptop I've been using since 2014.

No gestures: I use keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys. Learning gestures to replace them would probably save me very little time if any at all, so I never investigated them. The only one I can think to be useful is multifinger zoom, but ctrl + and - are good enough in most cases. I don't use them every month.

Anyway, I'm glad that they are working on those features. It helps the ecosystem and it could attract users. Unfortunately there are no workarounds for shitty hardware.
Some 20 years ago when I was in high school my friends and I noticed a stranger climbing into a nearby building that was under construction. Being the idiots that we were, we surrounded the building so he couldn't escape and then called the cops. They did eventually come and timidly peek inside where the guy was but didn't find him. He was definitely still there, we saw him leave later, the cops just didn't try at all. While the cops were there a police helicopter flew over and illuminated the whole street. I think that's when they reported sighting us idiots to the cops on the ground because soon after they came out and told us there was nothing there and to forget it and go home.

Turns out the guy was just an anti-semitic vandal intent on spraying dumb stuff on the walls and not there to steal expensive construction equipment.
The question was whether a desperate gamer on a budget could get their hands on something to play games with. I'm assuming that mobility isn't a concern, and so isn't relevant to the comparison. Obviously a laptop has benefits that a PS5 doesn't offer, but then so does a desktop computer.
Retiring Pinafore
Last Saturday afternoon I was driving home in heavy fog. Suddenly coming towards me was a BMW SUV at least 75% in my lane. I managed to brake heavily and drift towards the outside verge. We didn’t hit.

It’s about the closest I’ve come to a head on collision. With my whole family in the car, there was utter silence for the next several minutes.

Pretty sure I nearly died three days ago.
OMAD (one meal per day) genuinely works with the only caveat being that you need to make sure you’re getting all your nutritional requirements for the day. This means having a larger single meal and taking multivitamins for me. Also I avoid all processed foods, especially processed meat. I’ve been doing it for two years now.
Nobody ever said that intermittent fasting would prevent you from becoming overweight. If you still overeat, you will still gain weight. It's not magic. You're being hypercritical for no reason and without knowledge of the topic.
it actually is in some way.

first of all, Worldwide, 15–20 percent of men with lung cancer are non-smokers while over 50 percent of women with lung cancer are non-smokers [1], so if you are a woman, chances are similar.

Secondly, former smokers and current smokers have similar risks of getting lung cancer.

Last, but not least, once you get it, survival rates are similar for non smokers, former smokers and current smokers (in similar groups of course).

[1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7431055/

EDIT: it is overhyped because not smoking is in the public discourse treated as a cure, but it's not, especially if you are a woman.

In USA, for example, black men have higher chances of getting lung cancer than white men, but black women risk much less than white women.

So it's like saying that being a black woman saves you from lung cancer.

Risks are expressed as probabilities, people too often don't get it.
Pretty sure virtually every big tech company does the same thing, because they have to integrate a bunch of languages, target any arbitrary platform/architecture tuple, and support use cases like code generation and so on. There aren't any good solutions to this problem that don't require teams of people to maintain--the best in class open source solutions seem to be Bazel and Nix and these are beyond my skill to manage even for pretty basic use cases. Further, Google's internal build system predates Go modules by a decade or more; why would they pivot to Go modules?
Sun used a rebase workflow on Solaris from 1992 onwards (well before Git came along), and the reason is that following non-linear (merge) history in a project that thousands contribute to just doesn't scale well for human minds. (Back then Sun used the awful Teamware.) For sure the tooling then was worse than now, but linear history is just very nice to work with because our brains are not that awesome.

Comment threads and code history are vastly different things. The latter in the end is always linearized and the merge turds (if present) encode bits of history on the side. The former really are tree-like, and also not about code but about natural language.

I was military police in Germany for a few months and the one useful thing I learned there is that when you help another car to always protect yourself with their car or your own. So always park behind the stopped car and avoid being in direct line of traffic.

Taking a class, hiring a guide, or going with an experienced friend would all be a great way to get started.

If you wanted to bootstrap by yourself or with other inexperienced friends- I would start by getting a car accessible campsite, and then use that as a base camp. Go on small hikes that take you back to your site. Very few survival skills are needed for that sort of thing- you can get started with a cooler, a grill, and a bundle of firewood.

If you enjoy that, then start using more primitive tools and trying larger hikes in future trips, and you can work your way up to backpacking or whatever your goals are
T1 shows just how terrifying it would be hunted by a killer robot, or by ani killer that simply cannot stopped by any means short of a battle tank. Something the other films, including T2, failed to show.

Looking at the end again this seems very likely. In fact I'm not even sure I read the "repeat these" paragraph the first time, as that one hammers home your point.
Before going to grad school, I was socially quite isolated, partly as a function of being labeled as gifted, partly growing up in a pretty rural area. Going to grad school let me be among a cohort of true peers for the first time in my life. That was incredibly valuable, and the friendships I formed are still meaningful.

I also benefitted from a first-class (UC Berkeley) academic computer science environment. My masters work was on static memory management for ML-family languages, which turned out to be excellent preparation for Rust. The study of algorithm theory has helped me develop parallel GPU algorithms.

Now I work as a researcher and am doing what I love. If I had stayed on the business track, I might be richer in dollars, but not as happy.

Ask HN: What are the foundational texts for learning about AI/ML/NN?
I've picked up the following, just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the best books for a strong foundation:

Neural Smithing - Reed, Marks

Artificial Intelligence - Haugeland

Because you're not thinking 10 years out. At a certain point you will be able to copy any voice and any video of a person in realtime. It will be as simple as downloading an app. When AI has scanned your whole life's details and it can be found by anyone there will be no privacy left. Nothing will be trusted anymore.

If you loved your job before, be honest with your management how you feel. Explain to them you really want to do, and what the final outcome is likely to be if you can't find joy in your position again.

A situation I was in was similar, going from an Eng to a Lead Eng role for a group of sysadmins. It was something I thought I wanted, but not for the right reasons. I wanted more control over the environment, more freedom to build what I wanted. The amount of time I'd spend doing people-related things was grossly underestimated and it became a pain point for me.

It ended up being that I only wanting to work on building things, but not building up people. It became a chore to get through the majority of management work, only to stay late to work on things that interested me.

I ended up leaving for another company, and things have worked out well enough, but there is some regret in my leaving. It was something I should worked with my management on, and been more transparent about.
The issue I have with IT departments is that they see their job as implementing the technology and then putting the "guard rails" in place, but not producing standards and ways of working.

As a consequence I spend too long sifting through emails, Team chats and Team sites looking for that document that I know I've seen, but cannot recall the method by which it was delivered to me.
“out of cell range” is not a great measure for deep nature imo. On the California coast, for example, you can lose cell range without even leaving the road.

And in the Alps, you have areas with so many tourists the path is affectionally called a highway, but it would take 2 hours of hiking to get into cell range because mountains block signals.

I think it depends more on how many people you’re likely to meet per hour than cell range.
