skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
*damn.

A few more additional thoughts while anyone is looking:

I hope to get a fake demo dataset made soon. It doesn't seem all that useful when you login with nothing there. Similarity search is pretty meaningless until you have things in there. And it's cool to get a sense of how notes can build over time to something useful. As a personal crm, I'm not sure what would be easier.

Also need to make a more detailed video describing use cases, and explaining what the basic data models are.

The last day or so I've been working on more structured data extraction -- as I have more fun doing that than trying to fix a few regex issues on the front end.

fyi, I deployed a bug last night that broke the calendar. Fixed and deployed right now.

Thanks anyone for looking!
No, it doesn't. It only shows how your app's data can be deleted if you uninstall your app in a certain way. The scary warnings for apps that aren't notarized are still there.
I'm not sure why you would think they, when multiplayer games obviously show that intelligent opponents are nice to play against and that diplomacy is not only possible but much more interesting between humans.
If OP expects a book, every coding book, will give advices to be followed literally, that's a problem. After 14y I know there's no recipe valid for everyone and every scenario and that's what I always says to new junior devs I have to train: it always depends. Are you prototyping? Are you developing critical infrastructure code, or a website? Restricted resources industrial appliance code?

I read that book when I was young, I followed some advices, some I didn't, then I made mine ideas.

Of course reading others books is also very helpful to contextualise Clean Code.

What I really, really recommend is NOT to read The Clean Coder book by same Rob Martin, it's one of the few I have been unable to even finish, it has been unbearable to me.
Good, I'm glad. Humans are failing the Turing test all the time because of this crap. You shouldn't need to talk for more than like 2-3 replies to get an answer. Any longer and you're just playing with it.
A Threefold Fraud Venture
I can also strongly recommend Gandi. Used them to manage 40+ domains for my old company. Professional and good coverage of the TLDs.

Nice is also that you can buy credits - that way I could renew a bunch of domains that expired at different times and filing only invoice to bookkeeping.

I started reading and listening to Jason Fung’s explanation of body internal system [1].
What actually influences weight is hormonal cycles. I am experiencing positive results so far, working on this explanation.

Take steps to reduce not only amount of insulin presence in blood stream, but reduce its sustained presence. Reduce visceral fat.

The problem is solved by mix of correct nutrition, moderate physical lifestyle and intermittent fasting. Never by “dieting” or sustained calorific deficit.

Fasting should not be primarily thought of as reducing calories. Rather as creating longer gap inside body without insulin running though blood stream and toggling body to use fat as metabolism source.
Weight loss (from fat reduction, not muscle) is secondary benefit.

Haven't read but it's definitely time to start demanding people write clean code. My house often gets messy, and so does my code. And then I clean my house and refactor my code. I try to steer away from refactoring for the sake of making my code look sexy, which it does, but putting time on the calendar for an almost guaranteed need to shuffle things around when you get a chance feels good and makes your future self happier.

A lot of people have no idea how to write clean code and those parts of codebases and those people should be avoided as much as possible. I'm not trying to hate, but wow some devs have no shame.
I don‘t think it is clear to everybody. What it is also saying is: More money means you are a greater liability for society. So in addition to having greater power you cause these additional costs for everyone - unless we finally manage to price in all external costs into CO2-producing consumption. Which is often estimated at somewhere between $100 and $250 per ton.

> The root is always the parties. They have to go.

I don't really think sortition itself would kill the parties. It does seem like a good way to weaken them, but...I suspect they would find a way to survive.

I genuinely don't know of how to do away with political parties. Is there a good example of a democratic system (or a governance by the people) that doesn't have political parties?
Yeah, the acronym is very far fetched…

But at least the algorithm and how they got to it seems dope.

All AMD has to do is offer lots of petaflops on the cheap, and software that technically works. Once the hardware is there, and research groups have won grants to work on it, it's up to grad students (who actually do the research work) to figure out how to get anything done on ROCm.

Different topic, but have you ever computed return on interest over 1000 years? Even 2%? It makes it immediately clear that wealth connected with the ability to compound interest can only ever be a short-term anomaly.
Most of the time I see micromanagement, its actually gatekeeping. Senior person/engineer is stopping lower level employees from learning the system by forcing them into these micro tasks. I really dont think it comes from lack of trust, it comes from fear of someone below you growing in scope

The issue is that the meaning of "clean code" here isn't code that's clean and legible.

It's code written in the typically over engineered OOP-heavy Java style. Think lots of "patterns", massive amounts of inheritance, interfaces and factories everywhere.

I made the decision of abandoning any clean-code-ish practices within my teams long ago.

I still demand the code to be structured sensibly, be clear, well named and documented.
Yeah, they kinda screwed themselves by getting the first one perfect.

The ideal sequel would be "Civ 1, with new graphics and better automation". Then iterate on that every few years.

> Obviously, both of your extremes are totally unmaintainable and it doesn’t matter which somebody prefers of the two.

But we work with 1000 five lines functions all the time in high level languages.

All the stuff done on array/list/hash and the likes (map,fold/inject/reduce,sum,select,reject..) are five lines functions.

Why would you not want that for your own types?
> Prove that competitive pressures reduce margins and unbound risk reduces investment?

Prove that any of the mechanisms you're describing are in play, in the way you claim they are. I'm sure every question you read becomes very easy when you begin from the assumption that "this is how the world works".

Show me the law that permits juries to award arbitrary damages for employment disputes creating "unbounded risk", and show me that a jury has actually done it.

> What's more fair is, obviously, working out a settlement deal where the alternative is arbitration, instead of a jury.

Ah yes, the gold standard of due process, fairness, and impartiality, enshrined in our constitution, the arbitrator. You know it's fair because of how badly the employer wants it and the fact that states are trying to make these contractual provisions illegal.
Accurate article. Completely agree.
Even less hard than writing machine code in binary.
>You should team up with the Hurd folks.

I use every chance to drive people away from the Hurd.

That project is a waste of time. It has failed to move away from Mach or address the Hurd critique document. It has no direction and thus no future.

Instead, I try to promote efforts that merit the attention, such as seL4 or Genode.
I found that the missing piece for me was simply being kinder to myself when I slip up on some habit. Like, I tell myself "chill out - so you didn't go to the gym today. You're set back by one day. Just try it tomorrow." Maybe it's similar to your leaning into lack of consistency.

Previously I was so hard on myself when I made mistakes or wasn't up to my own (very high) standards, that I would quit after a while because it was a horrible experience.

Now, no matter how many mistakes I make, I don't beat myself up about it and I keep trying the next day. And I am seeing that not only am I getting more things done, but I am actually enjoying life more day-to-day, which is the ultimate goal imo.
More like I don't have the design skills / coding skills to do the html/css -- I last did web pages pre web 2.0.

I'm going for clean/static but not... bad/old.

I was reading about React and how you need to run JS to render even if not really doing much animation and I guess that could work but really prefer the style of web design you see with darknet sites -- it's the closest I've seen to the clean, good aspects of 90s web design
There are two red flags here IMO:

> The team had experience working at light field capture and display maker Lytro in the past.

Lytro was killed (IMO) by a combination of unappealing pricing, horrible and locked-down software, and mediocre performance. I imagine mediocre performance would be more tolerable in a novel product if the stack were open for users to create interesting and unexpected things and the price were right.

Maybe the team can do better this time.

(Hint to hardware companies: if you build a walled garden around your hardware and prevent effective use of its capabilities, it’s a lot less appealing. And it serves no purpose if you can’t even make money off the walled garden. Users will make neat things for you for free if you let them, and other users will pay you for your product so they can use those neat things.)

(Other hint: don’t be like E Ink. The tech was great. They utterly squandered their patent period by setting the prices so high that only niche products used E Ink.)

> The manufacturing is quite complex. “What we’re doing is literally fusing silicone together. The nanoparticles are controlling, at the molecular level, the ability to propagate light, and form in constant amplitude playing with a numerical aperture that’s chemically formed,” he said.

Just give us an AI multiplayer mode where the AIs don't always pick one human to rush, but also aren't pushovers, and which doesn't completely break 200 turns in.

Or if it does break, make it correctable. My friends all care more about continuing the game than about perfect fairness.

Big plus for continuing to work like that while supporting modding.

We have played every civ
a bunch, and none of them seem to support a 3-4 player "comp stomp" that hits the balance of hard late game, no cheap kills in the first 50 turns.

It’s more realistic than Civ 5, but it’s not as fun. I feel that they made Civ 6 into a board game so that underpowered systems like the Nintendo Switch can run it. Civ 6 feels like a blend of Civ Revolution and Civ 5. I’m sticking to Civ 5.

I think one problem with these models is that they have eye-watering operational costs. I‘m sure that a few years down we will have better hardware, but at this point a query sent to a chatgpt bot is probably 100x the cost of a normal search engine query. Maybe more.
Ask HN: Did the Fukushima cloud cause cancer?
I was living in Spain. 9 or 10 days after the meltdown, I had been tracking the cloud as it passed over the US and then over the Atlantic. As it happened, there was a major rainstorm near Granada the day it passed over. Being paranoid, I told my GF to stay downstairs and we went below. The next day everything was coated in fine yellow dust. I have seen lots of Saharan dust deposited on patios but this wasn't the same.

My friend who lived next door at the time is 52 now and, this year, was just diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. Right around when he was diagnosed, I started having pretty severe shortness of breath which I attributed to "long covid" and haven't checked out yet. Perhaps it's a months-long panic attack or a sympathetic condition to my friend's condition. But my mind keeps returning to that day with the yellow dust that dried up in droplets when the rain mixed with the Fukushima cloud that was only 9 days old.

What are the odds that we both sucked in some cesium during that first pass around the globe? AFAIK it hadn't really rained out substantially anywhere before it hit Spain.

This actually points to an underlying weakness of the Unix/macOS permissions system: There is no concept of apps.

By now the filesystem permissions hierarchy really should be extended into Group → User → App.

You can see the half-baked workarounds many operating systems use like controlling access to entire folders like Documents, Downloads, Photos etc.

Why not just make it fine-grained and let us permit and deny apps' access to individual files, and see which app created which file?

Lol. No, he vacations in my town and bought a house like 100 yards from a studio I used to rent. I'm confident he'll buy some canoes from me at some point.

I'm not a big note taker at all either. I had a crazy covid, needed to manage a big project and 90 people over a few months. And found roam research invaluable in that process. More recently I got tired of the spinner on mobile so made this. Day to day, I use it to manage myself -- jotting down a few todo items daily. And as a personal crm, ie notes from phone calls and meetings. Basically a homepage to tell myself what to do.

appreciate kind words on the design (a process of tweaking tailwind classes til I'm not grumpy about it). at some point will get to more customization as others have mentioned things being hard to read.
When Glasnost was a thing some fashion company made high priced Communist themed jackets (communist enough that kids on a bus thought I was Russian), of course I had to get one.

No, it's completey true. The first businesses affected by Berkeley residential zoning were Chinese and Japanese laundries (c.f. Ordninance 575-NS). Another zoning ordinance was passed to block a "negro dance hall." See Pollard's "Outline of the Law of Zoning in the United States," and Paul Ong "An Ethnic Trade: The Chinese Laundries in Early California." (Journal of Ethnic Studies, Winter 1981)
You can't bring dollar signs into this and not explain further — that's not right and you know it! Haha.
Vampires combat strength is calculated as base strength of the strongest unit you have trained, plus 1 for every unit that has died in an adjacent tile (bonus from barbarians capped at +10). They don't normally die either, they retreat when brought to 1HP. You can intentionally sacrifice scouts around them to boost their CS. So you can realistically have unstoppable +30 CS vampires by mid game (as comparison, tank is +35 over a knight, two eras earlier), and unlimited CS by end game, as if you need an end game. Did I mention they also gain a -5 CS aura by industrial era? Their only weaknesses are lackluster movement (2, made up by earlier "airports" i.e. vampire castles), weaker passive healing (-5 HP per turn, made up by +50 from pillaging), and inability to form corps/armies (but you can get way more than +17 anyway).

Another big source of imbalance is of course the AI's inability to use any of the secret society powers effectively.
Assertions made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Evil spirits can operate sort of like pychosomatic illnesses though, right? If someone tells you that you just ate a parasite-infested human brain, are you not going to start freaking the fuck out every time you see a sun spot or have a weird dream? Feeding X to someone who worships X without their consent or knowledge is basically dooming them to a lifetime of fear.
