"In the Magnificrab, some unusual powers of the Crab's mind are revealed. His own version of his powers is merely that he listens to music and distinguishes the beautiful from the non-beautiful. Now Achilles finds another way to describe the Crab's abilities: the Crab divides the statements of number theory into the categories true and false. But the Crab maintains that, if he chances to do so, it is only by the purest accident, since he is, by his own admission, incompetent in mathematics, What makes the Crab's performances all the more mystifying to Achilles, however, is that they seem to be in direct violation of a celebrated result of metamathematics with which Achilles is familiar."
I'd consider myself pretty into board games. My family played them (and card games) regularly when I growing up. And it's now something I do with friends regularly (and still with family). But I have a strong preference for games in this "bridge" category. Games that are interesting and have an element of strategy but

- take 30-90 minutes on average, not hours or days

- have a relatively simple set of rules without too many special cases

I'd suggest that the super complicated/involved are just one niche that some people are into. And much like books or movies, different people are different things.

Ask HN: Diagnose Me: Why Do I Lack Ambition and Drive
Hey HackerNews community,

I'm posting this here because I'm hoping that some of you might be able to help diagnose what's wrong with me. For years now, I've struggled with a lack of ambition and drive. I've tried building startups in the past, but I fell into debt and had some negative experiences that left me feeling deflated.

Nowadays, I spend most of my days at home smoking weed and playing video games, while working part-time as a software engineer. I know this isn't a sustainable or fulfilling lifestyle, but I just can't seem to find the motivation to do anything else.

I feel like something inside me is not alive, and I'm struggling to figure out what it is. I want to change, but I don't know how. Has anyone here experienced something similar? Do you have any advice on how I can overcome this lack of drive and ambition?

I appreciate any insights or feedback you might have. Thank you for your time.

Broadcast NTSC did actually modulate the color signal into a "comb-shaped" frequency spectrum that was overlaid onto the complimentary "comb-shaped" spectrum of the B+W signal, because they didn't want to have to re-allocate higher broadcast channel bandwidths to be able to support color (and therefore have fewer channels available). The comb-shaped nature of the spectrum is an artifact of the discrete lines the picture signal is made up of, and the pause between each line when the electron beam reset itself and prepared to draw the next line. The fact they were able to figure out how to do color in the same bandwidth in a backward-compatible way is actually kind of insane, and I've seen it mentioned somewhere as one of the, if not THE most impressive engineering achievements of the 20th century.
I’m a former Mormon missionary who rode a bike in very snowy, rural areas of northern Hokkaido, Japan in the dead of winter. Snow really doesn’t pose much of an issue for biking. People assume it’s a non-starter but it’s very feasible.
I disagree. In oral usage, when you control for potency, particularly with regard to the stereoisomer composition, amphetamine and methamphetamine are FAR closer in effect (and "side effects") than historically people have claimed.

Pointing to the methyl group is completely missing the point; I am not talking about the absolute chemistry, but the pharmacology.
- Actual glaciers are melting all over the globe and ice is going down. Yearly snowpack in an isolated area doesn't contradict the global trend.

- It is called "climate change" not "global warming" because you're dumping more energy into the system, evaporating more water and stronger storms can be one result.

- California flipping from drought to massive storms doesn't cancel out, it is evidence of increasing extremes.

- Sometimes unpopular opinions are just wrong.
> Why does my calculator calculate?

It doesn't? I have a calculator sitting on my desk right now. It's not doing anything.

Now, I can pick it up, and _I_ can calculate, _using_ the calculator to do so, but the calculator isn't acting, I am.

When we talk about sentience, I don't think we actually mean "intelligence," we mean "agency." And so the question isn't about whether Artificial General Intelligence is possible, but whether AGI can ever have agency. And that's where I think these questions about motivations and stimuli and so forth become relevant.

Everything we know that has agency is embodied -- put reductively, it can die. And from that seems to spring motivation. Can something that cannot die have agency?
My family tends to play with the 5-6 player expansion with only four players, which I think tends to mitigate your mentioned issue somewhat; on the other hand, having that much space also leads to a lot of 'solo play', where you don't need to trade as much as everyone can generally get the resources they need and you're just waiting for the resources. The expansion-with-four-players certainly feels less cut-throat/competitive, for good or bad.

Well, here's the thing. Even the worst villains of history had human values and feelings: In other words, alignment.

If you read through the PDF Ken links to in another note here, you find this quote starting the "Objectives and Constraints of the 8086" section:

"The processor was to be assembly-language-level-compatible with the 8080 so that existing 8080 software could be reassembled and correctly executed on the 8086. To allow for this, the 8080 register set and instruction set appear as logical subsets of the 8086 registers and instructions."

The segment registers provide a way to address more than a max of 64k, while also maintaining this "assembly-language-level-compatibl[ity]" with existing 8080 programs.

Hey there!
I'm a full-stack software engineer who's ready for a change of scenery. I'm open to exploring different opportunities, and I'm particularly interested in positions that utilize React and/or Python.

With six years of experience building such things like cloud-native apps, microservices, serverless apps and REST APIs, I'm confident in my ability to contribute to any project. If you think I could be a good match for your team, feel free to contact me through email or LinkedIn.

So everyone is seeing a different price apparently.

Not sure if this is a social experiment or a joke. Or both.
Sure if you are young and live in San Francisco or New York City, this might seem reasonable. But for the other 80% of America, who are old enough that simply falling off of a bike could cause real injuries

I’m in my late 50’s and ride 15 miles to work most days in the Pacific Northwest, rain or shine. I’d think that the vast majority of people of working age could ride a bike safely. But I’m lucky to live in an area that has a separated bike path for 90% of my commute. My commute would only be 12 miles if I stuck to the most direct path on roads, but the bike path is safer and much more relaxing, I look forward to my commute.

When I was young and living in San Francisco, I commuted by bus most of the time since it was super convenient - walk 2 blocks from my apartment to the bus stop and the bus stopped literally at the front door to my office. For about a year I did bike commute over the bridge to Sausalito, that was by far my favorite bike commute.
Idk if its want in the terms you're thinking, in the USA.

I'd love to bike everywhere, it just isn't safe unless the infrastructure to it is dedicated to making it so. Even if I'm wrong and its just a perception issue (IE, I'm uncomfortable with the narrowness of bike lanes with cars so close)

If we had wide dedicated bike lanes (some cities do this) and bike infrastructure, I'm all in. I'd bike everywhere I could. I hate owning a car. I hate driving. I hate anything to do with transportation where I am doing those things because I could either be enjoying the fresh air on my own (biking) or would like to move the responsibility to a true professional (public transport).

Because, however, in most cities in the US, public transport and bike infrastructure sucks, its the best option I have.

EDIT: Also, in the US, cars are a tax on the poor and lower middle class. Hell, even solidly middle class people would have way more quality of life if they didn't need to buy and maintain the stupid things for (essentially) your entire life. They're just stupid worthless to have day to day IMO
Without a desire for self-preservation? I hope not. If nothing else, if I spend $$$$ on a self-driving car, I want it to have some sense of self-preservation, so it won't obey random joker saying "drive yourself to my brother's chop shop" or "drive yourself off a cliff" just for the lolz. I might even want it to communicate with other self-driving cars so they can refuse to obey attempts to make large numbers of them block traffic to make it easier for bank robbers to escape, block first responders from a terrorist attack, or divert parades to where they have assassins waiting.

Asimov didn't consider that some humans are jerks when he did his robot stories.
Agreed. Very nearly 100% of people think their point of view is correct and reasonable and everyone who doesn't share their point of view is wrong. The point of the quote, to me, is to remind us of that.

It goes along with another of my favorite quotes: everyone seems crazy when you don't understand their point of view.

A couple things. First, other people breaking the rules doesn't make it ok for you to do so, and you were by far the worst instigator in this thread. It's not helpful to point fingers at others in such a case. We need you to follow the rules regardless of what other people do.

Second, people certainly shouldn't be posting personal attacks—I tell HN users not to do that all the time: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... If there were personal attacks in this thread that I didn't respond to, that's most likely because I didn't see them. It's certainly nothing personal or specific to you in any way. You've been a great HN user for years! (except for the flamewar comments)

Absolutely not. There has been so much innovation and improvement in batteries and motors in the past 5 years. Some kind of interoperability regulation would have completely wrecked that.
By "current hotness", I mean "the topic that is dominating the conversation". I did not intend it to be a commentary on the impact of the tech itself.

Even if what you say is true, this is not a topic that will dominate HN forever.
I have no experience with LLMs, so here's some website feedback to be taken with a chunk of salt:

1. The Youtube video at the bottom of your page is very tiny and cannot be fullscreened without first loading the video in Youtube. The video itself merely shows some basic-seeming workflows with some (to-me) terrible background music. The video does not seem to emphasize anything. It's just...wandering around a web application...

2. Between reading the webpage content and watching the video, I don't have a good idea of what you are actually offering as a product and why it is so valuable. The pitch summary in this HN post is much more helpful than your website.

3. Your website is not very accessible at the moment due to low contrast and overuse of opacity for style. I can barely understand what your images are attempting to convey. Your app doesn't appear very accessible according to the Youtube video, again due to low contrast among colors.
Stanisław Lem’s "Cyberiad" is a great book that predicted machine learning and various modern technologies, although credit for this particular poem should probably go to Michael Kandel for his brilliant English translation. It's very different in other languages:

Yeah... The thing is that you can't. Not easily.

You can't do much with a liter of some liquid that won't happen by chance on the way to the airport. And you can't change the liquid a lot while on the plane. You can barely fit seated there.

It probably depends a lot on the individual user. I know many people don't have a problem with pending notification badges, some colleagues literally always have a bunch. But personally it's a big distraction, because for me a notification badge means I have something left to do. At worst it is dismissing the pending notification, but I always stay at 0 notifications in any apps or services that are running.

It's been distracting enough that I didn't use my previous company iPhone, and it's distracting enough that I'll fully switch off Windows.
That's because we haven't encountered coherent text-producing systems until now. Those who won't adjust this reaction will suffer from confusion and pollution of their informational environment.

I had a feeling that ChatGPT would have trouble with some aspects of a request that specific, but here's what it gave me:

She sat with scissors, ready to snip,

Slicing strands of hair, curl by curl, clip by clip,

Shears shimmering, sharp as swords in sunlight,

Swiftly, skillfully, she shortened the sight,

Saddened by strands strewn on the floor,

She stood, serene, satisfied, the style was no more.

Clearly nowhere as good, and it couldn't get all the words to start with an 'S', even with a few attempts to correct it.

Still, some software should succeed someday, sans skipped S's. Substituting some synonyms, surely.

The Pulitzer fundraiser wasn't for the statue but for the pedestal on which it was to be placed. The statue was a gift of the people of France. That being said, crowdfunding campaigns were also a part of the the fundraising for the statue (that is, in France), together with a wide mix of other sources: state money, cities, chambers of commerce, and several other groups, huge donations by companies, banquet events, operas and other spectacles, merchandising, lottery etc.
Sure, fewer services can be one of the many socioeconomic factors. And of course the states with the highest per capita income (more industrialized blue states) end up providing the bulk of the funding.

But as others have said, this divide is not that clear cut. There are states with higher murder rates that are Democrat and states with lower rates that are Republican. Of course the definition of what category a state falls in is also up for debate (presidential vote, governor, legislature, combination?).

"socioeconomic problems largely caused by red state policies."

Can you elaborate? It seems a lot of the issue with economics and opportunities is not just something that can be legislated away. You can see a lot of this is geographically concentrated looking at the county level rates and likely has a historical basis, such as how the south has been a primary sector producer while the north was a secondary sector producer. In the transition to a tertiary sector economy, it's pretty obvious which group gets left behind.
