I mostly left Mastodon once Twitter stopped being so onerous with their wrongthink policies. The abundance of splintered fiefdoms is reminiscent of the power tripping found amongst IRCOps in years past, and is frankly a bit of a yawn fest.

I'll stick with a platform where I can expect that people I'm conversing with won't be cut loose because one server operator doesn't see eye to eye with another.

The irony is if you asked most of these folks how they feel about net neutrality, they'd say they were big proponents.

Religion helped us reach the next stage of societal evolution far beyond what existed before language. For instance, the catholic church forbidding cousins to marry is largely considered the cause of a large leap in both genetic diversity, health, intelligence, and a more expansive social network. This is just one example. Religion is just the word for the collection of knowledge about how the society should operate and I think you are getting too caught up on the metaphysical aspects. The comparison to animal societies and the idea that everything was figured out before we had written language.. hardly an idea worth engaging.

"Article 17 of Indian Constitution says:
Untouchability” is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden. The enforcement of any disability arising out of “Untouchability” shall be an offence punishable in accordance with law." - https://cjp.org.in/caste-discrimination-and-related-laws-in-...

There is more to the story and that's a good read, but in practice you can see cast discrimination still a lot in India, as I figured out recently when I have been a few weeks in the country.
Fun or maybe not that fun part is - people believe there is meaningful gatekeeping in courts/police enforcement/law.

Lets say for most part all goes well because most of the time people want to do the right thing and are not assholes. Well might be that other people in general are not all assholes - just that quite a lot are but not most :)
Unfortunately this doesn't really have much to do with StackOverflow, beyond it having the success that gives it

a) A large community.

b) Unpaid moderators who include people and cliques who feel self-worth in gatekeeping and other forms of "power".

It's always been this way in most fora; the more success, the larger the community, with a corresponding increase in inappropriate moderation.

See also, Wikipedia, Reddit, everywhere else of this ilk.

HN's acclaimed moderation - apart from being in a much smaller community, doesn't fit that model at all; perhaps it's not scalable though.
Show HN: Ask ChatGPT questions about any Website, PDF or Word doc
Here's the home page: https://app.conifer.chat

I built this example using semantic search + GPT-3 to make files conversational regardless of whether they fit within GPT-3's token limit. Enter a website url or upload a document then just ask for a summarization or any other questions about the document. Behind the scenes the document is parsed and I'm using embeddings to pull out context for GPT-3 when asking your question. Summarization seems to work pretty well but I've found it to really shine when asking specifics about a document that ChatGPT wouldn't be answer on it's own. I'd love any feedback or thoughts on other things that would be interesting to do with this app (Reddit bot?, Chrome extension?). Thanks!

I still like the jsonl standard quite a lot. JSON is pretty much universal, yet it‘s better structured than csv. The ‚l‘ine in jsonl makes it easier parsable and independent from the remaining structure. Keys are duplicated hard but that‘s where gzip comes in.
The best thing I did was to move all my plugins from $HOME/.vim/vundle/ folder inside $HOME/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ and works just fine; of course, I will need to keep an eye on updates myself, but that's not a big deal.

Therefore I won't be dependent on plugins such as Vundle.vim, vim-plug, and the like; enough is enough!

The eLife digest (a summary for non-experts):

Ovaries are responsible for forming the eggs humans and other mammals need to reproduce. Once mature, the egg cell is released into the fallopian tube where it can be potentially fertilized by a sperm. Despite their crucial role, how eggs are made in the ovary is poorly understood. This is because ovaries are hard to access, making it difficult to conduct experiments on them.

To overcome this, researchers have built artificial ovaries in the laboratory using stem cells from the embryos of mice which can develop into all cell types in the adult body. By culturing these embryonic stem cells under special conditions, researchers can convert them in to the two main cell types of the developing ovary: germ cells which go on to form eggs, and granulosa cells which help eggs grow and mature. The resulting lab-grown ovary can make eggs that produce live mice when fertilized.

This approach has also been applied to human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), adult human cells which have been reprogrammed to a stem-like state. While this has produced human germ cells, generating human granulosa cells has been more challenging. Here, Pierson Smela, Kramme et al. show that activating a specific set of transcription factors (proteins that switch genes on or off) in iPSCs can make them transition to granulosa cells.

First, the team tested random combinations of 35 transcription factors which, based on previous literature and genetic data, were likely to play a role in the formation of granulosa cells. This led to the identification of a small number of factors that caused the human iPSCs to develop features and carry out roles seen in mature granulosa cells; this includes producing an important reproductive hormone and supporting the maturation of germ cells. Pierson Smela, Kramme et al. found that growing these granulosa-like cells together with germ cells (also generated via iPSCs) resulted in structures similar to ovarian follicles which help eggs develop.

These findings could help researchers build stable systems for studying how granulosa cells behave in human ovaries. This could lead to new insights about reproductive health.
I think more likely our modern food system is causing this. We have all these calorie dense foods and methods of processing them that make them more and more delicious and calorie dense.

Take ice cream for example. It needs to be over-sweetened so that when you eat it, and the cold dulls your senses, it still tastes sweet. Most people find melted ice cream to be sickly sweet. But we have tricked our taste buds into eating a lot of it due to the cold. Same thing happens with lots of sweet foods that are offset with sour or salty flavors.

The same question goes for how computationally expensive it is to generate a key that kinda-resembles a known key? If you are just eyeballing the key "yeah that looks like Github's key" when the terminal ask you, you might fall for a fake one that merely begins with the same characters.

The neat trick is that it's others of magnitude harder to find a key that kinda-resembles a known key and kinda-resmbles it's randomart, so if both are presented at the same time, you'd be safer.
GP is also not quite right. The point of the 4% rule is it's the historically maximum safe withdrawal rate. You're not assuming a 7% return here. You're assuming that there's not been a time ever where 4% wasn't indefinitely sustainable.

Why is Twitter turning millions of accounts into defenseless targets?
Funny, it's done the opposite for me. I like Google Takeout. While downloading the archives is a pain in the ass and hence why GTR exists, Google makes it easier to assemble all data in Google all together which is something I don't think I've seen on other providers.
In this case the correlation is due to a causal relationship between genetic variation and chronotype that is well established. The roles of many of the genes involved have been established in lab organisms -- fruit flys and mice mostly -- yes you can observe and manipulate chronotype in flys. The same circadian rhythm genes have similar functions in people. There are rare mutations in these genes that cause familial sleep disruption syndromes, as well as common variants that have small effects that can be detected in large studies.
I've heard it works and it has caused companies to form and get funded.

I signed up like 1 week ago and I'm a 2nd time founder. It depends on your expectations and how you configure it is my read. For me, even though I'm technical, I'm mostly looking for other technical founders. Other than that, the thing I mainly want to feel when I read a profile is a sense of "oh this person would be fun to jam on ideas with" and in addition, "yea I think they got the same level of hustle/urgency as I do." Concurrently, I want to get a sense of the person's motivations - are they all about the $$, I'm a pass usually in that scenario. I just want to build something people love.

I think I've already seen a few people who match that criteria.

Aside: kinda worried about how many people are looking to start an "ai startup" rather than solve a problem which might involve AI.

So I’ve matched with 2 cofounders on there. And while I think finding a good cofounder is inherently hard, I’d say it’s the best platform that I’ve seen. It’s similar to relationship dating I guess.

One of the questions that I would add though, is whether the founder is married to a solution or is in search of a problem.
First co-founder I worked with was great overall but he was married to a solution, that after talking to prospective users, I realized nobody really wanted.

Has anyone seen a good analysis on what went wrong? I found a USAToday article with a partial fragment saying that one of the wheels had a failed bearing, and this was the proximal cause of the derailment. It seems to me that (as pointed out in the article) the mean-time-to-failure increases with the length of the train; perhaps nonlinearly? I think the failure rate of bearings is proportional to the length of the train, but you can't "amortize" failure: any failed bearing would lead to a catastrophic error?

To my mind this means that things like ECP (which have been removed) might've fixed the issue, but the fundamental problem is the train length, which has been discussed (in all of its negatives) here, before.

In that sense, the train company is directly at fault: they are engaging in unsafe practices in order to remain profitable, and the practices are fundamentally not safe-able (to make up a word).

Asking questions which yield more bits of information is good practice. Bifurcating a space creates higher entropy signals when you finally measure.

A greyscale camera can tell you white or black and you could differentiate day from night. But a color camera can tell you red white blue black and so now you can derive sunrise sunny cloudy night. The set of observables is what you partition into signals.

Enhancing your observable space lets you derive stronger signals to act on.
What was the outcome of that, did he find his cofounder from that thread?
I doubt the premise that everything will be NNs, but I can't predict the future any more than anybody else.

What I find interesting in this imagined future is that problem definition usually happens, in my experience, while attempting to encode it, removing all ambiguity. If we skip that step n years from now, will we still even understand the problems we try to solve? Sounds scary to have systems where we can neither reason about solution nor problem.

Last year I finally put my old 2012 13" MBP to rest. I have been using it for 8 years for work, commuting with it to work. 8 years of plugging it in and out at the office and at home. Then it was used by my daughter for another two years for home school during the pandemic, Zoom + Chrome. 10 years of daily usage. Could not ask for better machine.
After that brief period with 2016 15" MBP and now base M1 Pro that I plan to use for at least another 3 years at least. Sure, HDD upgrades would be nice, but I can live with the Transcend card in the SD Card slot as an expansion for file storage.

Every now and then I think about getting second-hand X1 carbon as a machine I
don't need to care about when travel. But then again, MBP + iPad Pro with universal control works so well it's like having a second screen on the go. I don't think there's another system that be near this level of integration.

Often I find that people in poverty have a great deal of trouble engaging in the external effort necessary to improve their situation. It's nearly impossible to muster the time and energy to fill out applications and forms necessary for assistance when you are barely treading water.

Social workers and life coaches are really great when they are able to fill in the gaps. Help people acquire the resources they need and take advantage of the services offered to them that they may not already know about. Even something as simple as filling in a form properly can be life-changing. Not to mention connecting them to resources like housing assistance and debt forgiveness.
It's also the ratio of action to (what I would call) filler. A UT2K4 CTF game is almost non-stop action. Between insertion, looking for powerups, and finding someone to fight, a typical round of Fortnite has a lot more downtime. I suspect that might be part of the popularity because it's easier to make smalltalk with the stream while smashing crates in Fortnite than it is to do so while getting shot at with rockets.
The age-old bane of software requirements: "It's exactly what we asked for but not what we want."
And yet "spiritual" people are at least as prone to narcissism as everyone else. IMO one of the reasons spirituality of all kinds - including both traditional and non-traditional religion - has remained so consistently popular that it provides such excellent cover for more base actions and desires.

If you've found a drama-free spiritual community where everyone is deeply chilled and yet also adult and effective without losing a sense of humour, please let me know. That really hasn't been my experience.

In fact I think mindfulness, meditation, and so on confuse a kind of metaphysics of morality with what is probably some fairly basic brain mode switching.

Being "enlightened" for a brief period does not seem to create good people with any consistency or reliability. It doesn't even create consistently happier people. (Sometimes? Yes. More reliably and safely than other activities? Very likely not.)

It does seem to remove certain existential tangles, sometimes. But rather than being about "ego" - boo, hiss - perhaps those are more to do with easy/default vs less accessible modes of emotional cognition.

And actually - that's all.
I get where you are going, but there are a few issues with this, the first being that no screens after sundown is a wildly unreasonable ask in 2023 (especially for the types of folks who frequent this board), at least in my opinion. A lot of the talk around screen time before bed also fails to factor the type of activity being done on the screen, and what type of screen is being used. Shopping on your laptop vs reading on a fully dimmed phone screen are entirely different ends of the spectrum in terms of stimulation and significantly different in terms of light emitted and screen motion

That said, I’ve found switching to warm dimming circadian lighting at night has been a huge help and is an easy enough solution
