Really? Using the fact that someone put pronouns in their profile is a bad faith move? Your account is literally a throwaway.

Calling these twin studies as settled science is the most bad faith move here, since the chief problem of this section of The Bell Curve is that it confuses heritability with genetic determination, a mistake that informed scientists wouldn’t make. Unsurprisingly, that is why there is widespread scientific backlash against it.

Believe it or not, twin black babies separated at birth and raised with white parents are still treated as black by society.
Hi. First of all, thanks for the quick response, and more importantly, working on this cool idea!

I see on the website that CLJS isn't supported; that's fine. But the NPM dependencies not being detected does intrigue me. I'm going to follow up with you on Discord if that's fine
The author said in the security heading that it’s unsafe cause he trusted his keys to a 3rd party wich got hacked. Sounds more like a salty article than a well written one.
From the paper's abstract

"We found a very weak or no correlation between AlphaFold output metrics and change of protein stability or fluorescence. Our results imply that AlphaFold may not be immediately applied to other problems or applications in protein folding."

This seems like the paper is drawing the opposite conclusion of the current HN title ("AlphaFold predicts impact of single mutations on protein stability and function") perhaps a title edit is in order?
So: "Sun Tzu, Mayhaps dude had a point, ymmv ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Either this has been majority written by ChatGPT, or the author has no clue about their own arguments about Bitcoin, especially when saying that 'Bitcoin is anonymous' or exchange hacks has something to do with Bitcoin's security.

This article's arguments has been regurgitated ad nauseam by ChatGPT snake oil.
Without being familiar with the details this sounds as if they bit off more than they could chew (or invaded more than they could hold). Holding territory is way, way harder than winning it in the first place.

If your actions led to your own clan's erradication 30 years after the fact then tour actions might not have been the smartest (unless e.g. your clan was going to be erradicated either way and you managed to buy them time).
Ask HN: How to find good articles/YouTube videos?
One problem I have been facing for sometime is finding good content(long articles/videos - avg. time 15-20 min) to consume around topics like Design patterns, new tech like GQL, engineering in general, startups etc. Most of the written content which floods easily accessible sources is created by companies for SEO and there are no signals to evaluate which content is worth it. Hackernews is something which gives signal to noise ratio, similarly some newsletters are good to follow. But sometimes you come across an article, after reading which you realise that so much good content is just buried under the SEO/click bait content of the internet. How do we dig that out? Is this even a real problem for other people? If yes, how are you solving it?

Another solution is Twitter - but again too much noise.
This post appears to have a misleading title. AlphaFold didn’t do any prediction, rather, researchers compared its output values with/without single mutations. As far as how to evaluate the success of AlphaFold (from the abstract): “We found a very weak or no correlation between AlphaFold output metrics and change of protein stability or fluorescence. Our results imply that AlphaFold may not be immediately applied to other problems or applications in protein folding.”
IIRC the model of thanks.dev ensures that those dependencies get some money too.

> I changed my diet and began exercising. Lost 50 pounds. My sleep apnea went away and I no longer even snore.

That's because you have OSA (obstructive sleep apnea). I (OP) have central sleep apnea, there is no obstruction, its related to the nervous system. I am already very lean (I run ultra marathons as a hobby).
That's a nightmare and sounds like a really bad software bug... I have one like this even as we speak.

Ask HN: How do I get out of the “new project” loop?
I'm between large projects right now, and I've gotten into the habit of getting an idea, creating the skeleton for a project, implementing a few things, and then giving up on it 30mins - 1hr later in search of a new goal. (I must run `yarn create next-app` maybe 2-3 times / day on average) While it feels like part of the creative process at some level, (maybe something will stick? A few smaller projects have...) it also feels like a massive waste not to pick something and stick with it. After getting used to working with user feedback, and a rigid framework, how do I re-start the creative process?

By default, Grep will go up to 4 degrees, but if your network of sites is less than 70K, then it will go up to 7 degrees to reach the 70K threshold.
But we didn't start from a neutral point. We started with someone linking the article as a source of information. If someone tries to use a broken clock to tell the time, you can't use the clock to say what time it is, but you can say something about whether they're right or not. They are >99% likely to be wrong.

At best, the equivalent of a broken clock is "Your link fails to provide any evidence or logic at all." And that is a properly reasoned and extremely strong condemnation, not a fallacy.

At worst, we recognize that most topics have fewer different opinions than there are times in the day, and being wrong often enough on some topic might mean you anti-correlate with the truth.

Though there are much less extreme cases where it's reasonable to warn about an author. Maybe some author makes true posts 2/3 of the time and lies 1/3 of the time. Even though such an author would probably be right in any arbitrary post, it's still worth warning a potential reader about their habit of lying.
Thanks.

Why would Nvidia want to prevent someone from doing it though (I guess they have a competing product?), and why should any consumer accept being prevented from doing it on hardware they've purchased? Is that even legal?
Sentry is open-source.
Yeah I was kind of surprised to see the HTML scraping going on; if provide an RSS/ATOM feed and this task is a lot simpler, and doesn't need the overhead of Ruby (or any programming language) either, can easily be done with a bash script.

You can emulate them imperfectly.

Underlining will use much more space with dashes. So much so that the spacing adds to the emphasis. And you can't use it in running text. Underlining with underscores OTOH is hard to read and has less emphasis than normal underlining.

Alignment can be done more or less correctly, but it is a hassle. And it requires a monospace font, which isn't great for readability.

Tables also require a monospace font, and are also a hassle, and you'll still end up with a hard to read pseudo-table.

And that's just the mentioned limitations. You also can't include charts, formulas, screenshots, links, superscript, subscript, italics, without severe limitations.

If email were still limited to plain text + attachments, I think a lot of them would be "please see attached Word file".
thank you thank you. the longer i spend as a dev the more i have infinite appreciation for better logging.

this is asking a lot but could we get a breakdown as to what you think are relevant decision factors for choice of logging server? (eg vs logstash/kibana, splunk and i guess people DIY with clickhouse but we can effectively ignore that)
If you want it to be very efficient, pick a language like Rust, Go, Nim, maybe even Crystal or Haskell, which can produce a (mostly) self-contained executable, without installing anything. Write the logic for updating your profile with it, all while honing your efficient coding skills.

The few people who look at your GitHub profile may be some important people, like your every future prospective employer. It may make sense to impress them a little bit.
I think, every academic discipline, we should demand it demonstrate that its got something true and useful to say. And, “Word embeddings utilize neural networks to create high-dimensional vector representations of words..." – "word embeddings" and "neural networks" are true (they clearly exist), and they are clearly useful (we can do things with them, that we couldn't do before). Their truth and usefulness is really beyond dispute; any impartial person, sufficiently familiar with the discipline, has to admit that. Of course, there are still some things up for debate – how far these technologies will scale, whether scaling them or searching for completely new approaches to replace them is the more fruitful path for future research, etc. But the basic validity of the concepts (truth and usefulness) no longer is.

Compare that to the following sentence taken from the field of "feminist technoscience": "Examples of masculine-coded technologies under these categories included ARPANET..." [0] Even if we can provide some kind of meaningful definition of "masculine-coded technology" such that ARPANET counts as one – is that saying anything true or useful? That seems far more open to debate than the equivalent questions for "word embeddings" and "neural networks". And that's why it isn't really fair to compare machine learning, as a discipline, to feminist technoscience – the truth and usefulness of the former is rather beyond dispute, the same things are much much more open to question for the latter.

> I'm not saying social studies have the same level of rigor and precision, but it's another thing entirely to dismiss a whole field of study just because you couldn't reproduce it in perl.

There are some approaches to social studies, which while they might not be "reproducible in Perl", seem on a much firmer footing – I mentioned before the rational choice theory of religion, advocated by the late sociologist Rodney Stark. It is far easier to derive testable hypotheses from it, for one thing. People write whole books attacking it (whether successfully or not) – like Steve Bruce's Choice and Religion – precisely because it makes claims which are firm enough to be attacked.

> Additionally, the promise of "No AI-Content" appears to be snake oil unless the creators have discovered a magic formula for reliably distinguishing AI output from human output. With up to 7 degrees of separation, your search network is pretty much guaranteed to include AI-generated content, which will be indexed like any other content.

You can fairly effectively apply network topology heuristics to the link graph to separate the wheat from the chaff. Content farms tend to have different linking patterns from organic content. (Overall, few humans tend to link to them)
As both a former army officer as well as someone who appreciates historical Chinese, it pains me to say that I found it underwhelming. I’m not saying that any one on here is like this, but in my experience it def attracts a certain type who, among other things, have a zero sum, “business is war” mindset that’s a tad creepy.

Little story on this: I went low carb to have an easier time handling my diabetes. When the doctor found out, they sent me to a nutritionist. So the nutritionist would whip out the food pyramid and say: "you know this, right? We know that people who eat like that stay healthy in general. We don't know whether people who don't eat like that stay healthy." Then I got some specific advice for my diet. I still remember that intro as one of the best trust-building measures I've experienced with doctors.

There is another serious point about the name I haven't yet seen any comments on.

Grep the open source project has spent years building up it's name and it's good will by being - as you point out - a great tool.

You are now attempting to claim some of that good will just by copying the name when you have nothing to do with grep.

If you did that to a commercial company they'd sue you for trademark infringement.

(Hopefully this is a serious enough point to not count as a "tangential annoyance")
Data Imperialism
Just like collecting cardboard, it only takes 1-2 people to go through streets / stations of bins for themselves. Literally every recycling bin I see at a station or otherwise is scavenged upon.

Haven't seen many more advanced machines here, but those go back to the same problem - it takes more time than dumping it into an open bin "on your way". This leads to people not recycling it.

There's also the fact that a lot of countries don't actually have the capabilities to recycle even if they collect it. Yes real capacity. It's been uncovered many times where recycling just takes a roundabout tour back to the dumps. There's also a huge amount of fraud in this area. Companies take the money and send to China or other places.

The theory of recycling is good but more needs to be done to actually get it going.

Batteries on the other hand... they're worth more so just maybe... but there have been lots of electronics recycling fraud just as well...

Concerning soending, open-source contributors are not employees. They do contribute to business, but wouldn’t do what you need if you needed it, like fixing vulnerabilities.

This happens way too frequently nowerdays. A friend of mine had his Youtube account banned. He never even uploaded a single video nor post any comments. How could it even possibly have created a reason to be banned? Of course support requests went into the void and he just gave up. Luckily his gmail was not affected.

A company I was involved with had a business account with Wise (Transferwise). One day out of the blue they froze our account and said only withdrawals from now on. The "reason" they provided was Violation of Acceptable Use Policy. They wouldn't even say which clause or give any details whatsoever. When asked for review we got an reply that after extensive review they can't reinstate the account, the decision is final. During the whole process it was painfully clear that they didn't read our messages or even try to understand the situation. After a few weeks and many emails with supporting evidence that we really can't see how we broke any of the terms the account was reinstated - a surprise to us. It seems like eventuall someone actually did take a look at the issue. But we never heard why it was frozen in the first place or what made them reinstate it. We probably just got really lucky. During that time we couldn't do payroll. We couldn't collect customer payments. It could have killed us did we not quickly scramble to get an alternative setup.

The common theme is that a company makes ill-advised banning decisions that have a big impact on a single user and then appeals are not treated seriously. This can have devastating effects. Usually this happens after the company who is running the platform grows to a certain size where they don't need to care about a low percentage of users anymore and rather save on support staff costs. And to add insult to injury they lie in your face about having conducted "extensive" reviews and having "carefully" decided all the while it being clear that they spent no energy or time on the matter. What's the solution here? Some mandatory third party appeal service which you can call upon? Many victims of wrongful banning would be glad to carry the costs of a review by a real human to get their accounts back.
There's a difference between a little intervention here and there, and government having a literal monopoly over something (e.g. money creation).

> Lots of participants in crypto believe that taxation is theft and that government is an inherently wasteful entity, all while continuing to enjoy the largely invisible benefits that government policy and enforcement provides them. This is the contradiction.

What you've described are anarchists. They are a small minority and certainly do not advocate for more government involvement. Most Bitcoin advocates simply think that Bitcoin is much needed competition to government money (fiat) while still believing in a government-run justice system.

> EDIT: The government is the only reason that FAANG and other tech companies aren't bringing in foreign software developers who will work for $15/hr en masse. You know that if they could, they 100% would.

If you really believe that, I can see why Bitcoin would make you nervous.
Simply drawing a comparison with that comment, so that readers know the direction of the product.

I'll leave my comment above unedited, so that your comment makes sense - but perhaps I shouldn't have said "alternative", and simply left it a "Over time Logflare will function very much like Sentry."

The atomic clock is not in the VM, it’s a service from what I understand similar to NTP but obviously much more localised.

I in fact think once you offer atomic clock as a service for any public cloud, distributed transactions become a lot easier to implement thereby disrupting Spanner.

Sponge Bob in its first season. I thought it was a dumb kids cartoon, until I inadvertently watched an episode. The humor in it worked on many levels, there was the kid's humor, with a wicked overlay of adult humor on top.

I recall one where SB and friends were out on a fishing boat. The name of the boat was painted on the prow. The framing of the shot cut off the first couple of letters, and adults would assume the missing letters formed a very rude remark. A later full frame shot with the missing letters spelled something innocuous. Sponge Bob is full of jokes like that.

The later seasons, however, are about as clever as a brick.
