Ask HN: Are you low in conscientiousness? If so, how do you cope?
So being low in conscientiousness is not very bad, especially if you want to be an entrepreneur.

But there are many more times in life, when you just want to be industrious and orderly. And during those times I struggle and am way less productive with the time given to me than I should be.

I tried to read a bit on how to cope with being less conscientious and it seems all the advice boils down to, "just be more conscientious" which does not help much.

I am wondering, if you struggle with the same problems, for whatever reason, how do you cope or how do you structure your life such that it is more of an advantage than a disadvantage?
Working copy has some of doing this. I had it syncing my logseq notes and it worked fine (other than merge conflict type things). The setup was fairly convoluted though.

This is how it is done https://github.com/CharlesChiuGit/Logseq-Git-Sync-101/wiki/F...
Wow, it’s impressive the app is still running with the hn front-page traffic
So everyone wants to be on the largest instance. I wasn't implying people wanted it for its own sake.
Banning the types of peaceful protests allowed based on the content of their message is deeply fascist.

The British government is seriously leaning into censorship, surveillance, and nationalism which is a very dangerous combination. They have even vilified an out group namely immigrants and cracked down on decent. Add in propaganda with strong ties between the government and large private companies really does make me nervous, though I am not expecting things to devolve very quickly the historic left/right divide isn’t particularly important here.
I don't think the bug itself is newsworthy. The existence of the exploit code, and the way that it was accidentally published, I think are.
On the point of card creation, I also found it to be frustrating. Not as much as you did, but for example I couldn't get a card to say "Destroy this robot unless it moved this turn" even though "moved this turn" is in the dictionary. I guess I can only say "Destroy each robot that moved this turn" - no negation, and not specific. I still enjoyed messing with it, but it was a pretty challenging experience to start coming up with cards that were both interesting and legal.

> It seems I can set an arbitrary cost for my cards? How do you balance the game when it involves custom cards?

> One strategy would be to give each player a deck consisting of their cards and the opponents cards. So if someone made a really imbalanced card, they would have a 50-50 chance of having it used on them.

The author actually addressed this by doing exactly that
Maybe, I take anything LeCun says with many grains of salt. Much like Elon Musk, any time he says something that appears to make sense I find myself asking "what don't I know enough about, to know why he's wrong?"
Despite the cleverness of your response, I don't belive the paper has anything to say about the kind of judgements people are making. They observed stuff, they didn't read minds.
It's beautiful, but unfortunate that the font is trying to use cleartype, which screws up the aesthetic bigly.
Why would you doubt neurons play a roll in intelligence when we've seen so much success in emulating human intelligence with artificial neural networks? It might have been an interesting argument 20 years ago. It's just silly now.
on macOS, unfortunately, this was a painful experience. on startup, after setting up the Spotify app keys, the app froze while refreshing (audio) devices. it slowed down, stopped working, and had to be force quit.

I was looking forward to a snazzy spotify desktop ui!
Those identities do hold though, as long as zero and negative zero compare equal, which according to ieee754 they should. Performance degredations happen in other places such as denormals.
I worked in a WebObjects shop that was combination of Sun, windows, NeXT, and eventually Mac OS Server 1. That shop was the best run shop I ever saw. The Sun was server running NIS, SMB, NFS. The NeXT and Mac OS Server machines NetInfo could be bound to NIS and shares were distributed using NFS or SMB. We also had NetAtalk configured for Mac OS 9 and lower.
I have been trying to emulate that shop ever since.
> are you saying that it's racist for the researchers to categorize pedestrians' races based on appearance?

Yes. I thought that was obvious from the first comment I made. Sorry if I wasn't more clear.

> it may not be relevant anyway

My main complaint was the lack of scientific rigor. It's relevant in other ways because of this.
> we clearly prioritized certain foods and the human body adapted around those foods

Most traditional cuisines have their fair share of nonsense medicines and performative poisons. They had more time to test, so I’d absolutely pick it over our processed food. But it’s far from panacea.
It's exploitable by an unprivileged user on the most popular distro out there (Ubuntu). I would say it's newsworthy.
Minor detail, Intel sold their SSD business to SK Hynix for $7b. SK Hynix created a new company Solidigm out of the acquisition. So it is now a Solidigm 670p. https://www.solidigm.com/products/client/d6/670p.html

Personally it really felt a bit rotten to me that Intel had created drives like the 670p that would simply stop working after a designated amount of writes. On the one hand, predictable life-span is kind of of a good thing, but sending drives to the landfill before they're actually done seems monstrous. Anyways though, yeah, DRAM-less drives are available for incredible prices.
They're not "stonewalling" anything. They essentially published their own opinion on the matter on their own website.

> After being accused of misleading advertisement by the justice ministry, it pulled the link

They weren't merely "accused", supreme court judges ordered Google to pull the link or face fines. Literal government censorship. They even ordered police to round up executives for "explanations". As if they owed them explanations over what's essentially a blog post.

Never ceases to amaze me the audacity of these jounalists to accuse others of spreading "fake news" while simultaneously and deliberately distorting the truth to this extent. If I see the words "fake news" anywhere, I assume it's malicious propaganda.

> That’s when big tech started saying there would be no more money to give their journalism programs, similar to what they told YouTube creators.

This must be what she's truly upset about. You're not entitled to Google's money.

They'd have to be stupid to invest in this place anyway. Who wants to invest millions in a near communist country where totalitarian judges can just fuck your shit up on a whim? Did you know the judges are deciding whether to make it illegal to fire people "without fair reason"? Just saw that in the news today. It boggles my mind that Google even employs people here at all.
Somewhere in the distant past a second grade me is staring at his math homework and fuming over the frustratingly ambiguous meaning of the minus sign. Is it an operator? A property? Both?
Chicago is a great city.

Cold climate, warm people, actual downtown with actual transit, great food, great diversity, affordable, actual amenities and great intellectual life.

The cold climate isn’t too different from Toronto (and no it’s really not that windy).
> history of exercise is just living

The Greeks and Romans intentionally exercised outside daily toils.
It's funny, I actually have a Thinkpad (my work machine), and never use that thing. Just never got into it. I like the positioning in theory I suppose, just haven't accustomed to its location or acceleration, and the trackpad isn't so far away as to make me.

But what do you do at regular desktops/with a docked laptop? Mice bother me more, I've been looking into getting an Apple trackpad (to use with Linux) so it's a pad not a mouse but also so that I can put it in laptop-esque positioning, which seems more ergonomic to me, from primarily using the keyboard. (Not as much as a ThinkPad nipple of course, but as above I've never grown used to it, and I don't think any such keyboards exist anyway.)
What’s actually reasonable here. I’m all for exploit code becoming public eventually, but I think it’s silly to drop it immediately after a fix has been released, or before, in almost all scenarios (unless there’s been 90+ days or the issue marked as wontfix)
The same way you make $100K+ in the US.

The US is actually a low-wage country in comparison to several other countries. Every time I go there I see that working conditions for US wage-earners are not particularly great. It's just a matter of what's the 'norm for you/me', I guess. (Most people will get used to anything. The 'period of adjustment' is pretty constant at about 3 months.)

If you can't find a high-wage job, there is the usual range of ways. Real estate, landlording, professions. Speaking of professions, many US professional qualifications will not necessarily be recognised outside the US, just as many foreign professional qualifications are not necessarily recognised within the US.
If you run Windows and are jonesing for some ActiveX action, and want to be really careful, you can run WSL, run LXDE on WSL, and run https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows98 on Firefox on LXDE[1].

That’s maybe enough layers of indirection to make ActiveX safe :-)

And more to come!
Yes. The term dates back to hard drives, where using only a fraction of their capacity would minimize the worst-case distance the heads needed to travel, reducing the portion of seek latency due to head movements (but not helping with rotational latency).

On most hard drives, the beginning of the logical block address space corresponds to the outer edges of the platters where the bits are going past heads with the highest linear velocity, so sequential throughput is higher than elsewhere on the disk.
It's naive to think that's the literal meaning.

I didn't think it needed spelling out that they were saying "I read this book, I understood its message and was able to incorporate it into my life with notable results, so I am better at quitting or avoiding addictive behavior"
If too many of us would literally cut off the limbs of others unnecessarily to acquire said gold coins than we're done here. Let's just burn it all down and start over.
Neat idea. Unfortunately it knows nothing about infinite squirrels.
Does it work for you? I get errors on generating the mask.
This is fascinating, but at the same time I got to ask. Wouldn't it easier for a person as experienced as Tavis Ormandy to simply write a console version of a spreadsheet software from scratch using a modern stack?
The demon of it is, it's not just about desktops. It means writing apps that are also connected.

I dont have a great idea what this future looks like. (I have a bunch of personal possibilities I work on but they're just goes at what might be, not strong beliefs.) But we've chasing where the puck was, and it's no longer the objective.
There are many songs that can cohere with "Let's Get It On", especially if you allow yourself to change tempos and keys, which you have to do in order to make "Thinking Out Loud" fit. In fact, if you allow all the diffs you have to employ to map LGIO onto TOL there are probably hundreds of songs you could fit either one to.

In fact, there is almost certainly a song (probably more than one) released before LGIO that you could map LGIO onto which LGIO would infringe by this standard.
pH is the fundamental thing, phosphate is the chemical patch that allows low pH water to be used. Basically they switched water source to something less alkaline than what they'd used previously - and didn't do anything to mitigate this. The phosphate is kind of a "patch" to the problem of low pH.

Fruit juice and cola is of course much, much more acidic than the Flint water - orange juice for example is about pH 4 (that is, 1000 times more H+ ions than pH 7)
Unfortunately, it's easy to edit it back...
Sales and marketing will never leave anything on the table that might make their job easier.
yeah so we need a new category for California since they set thenselves up to seize more of the means of production than the communists/state capital socialists
Seems like theirs actually is. But that’s also likely why it costs more.
hello, everyone founder of https://www.slashml.com here, our goal is to create one unified interface for all machine learning models. This project came out of frustration of an impoverished graduate student trying to transcribe and summarize a bunch of video lectures (for free), and running into the trouble of learning different ecosystems and SDKs.

Let me know if you need help integrating this into your apps. One of the cofounders will personally help you integrate slashml into your apps. We are also language agnostic :).
The other comments have pretty much covered it. We can pretty clearly demonstrate that neurons in general are important to behavior (brain damage, etc) and we even have some understanding about specific neurons or populations/circuits of neurons and their relation to specific behaviors (Grid cells are a cool example). And this work is all ongoing, but we're also starting to relate the connectivity of networks of neurons to their function and role in information processing. Recently the first full connectome of a larval fruit fly was published - stay tuned for the first full adult connectome from our lab ;)

Again, IANA neuroscientist, but this is my understanding from the literature and conversations with the scientists I work with.

I always worry that hardware "locks in" software. SSDs showed up after everyone wrote their databases to be optimal on spinning rust, so SSDs were built to look at the flow of requests, assume that the application was written for spinning rust, and optimize the data layout accordingly. Whether or not this is as good as brand-new software that managed the layout itself is debatable, and nobody will write that software anyway because they won't have users that have SSDs that let the database manage the disk in full. So the software has to tune it for one manufacturer's reorganization algorithm and hope for the best. The path to a "global maximum" remains unclear because of this.

CPUs are similar. People started writing programs in C, so CPUs started optimizing for the outputs of C compilers. If someone were to invent CPUs and compilers today, the list of optimizations would probably be different, and the performance characteristics of real-world software would probably be different. (It's not just C; people wanted virtual address spaces, and that was slow in software, so now there is a TLB, etc.)

Actually, it goes even deeper. Half the startups I see on HN related to software operations have a quickstart like "don't worry, you don't have to rewrite your code, we'll magically do everything for you". Why not just refactor the code? It would take about an hour, and then you don't need a crazy Rube Goldberg machine to achieve your desired results. (If you want specifics, think service meshes, and how they now detect what language your app is written in so they can rewrite your HTTP handling functions to pass around a trace ID. Back in the day, you just set outgoing.Headers["x-trace-id"] to incoming.Headers["x-trace-id"]. Now we have layers and layers of OS-level machinery that still don't do as good a job as spending half a day adjusting your codebase. Billions of dollars invested in saving half a developer day! Wow!)
What’s the use case for different values?
I'm with you, I prefer to stay in a nearby hotel. If you go, prepare to deal with shelling out a lot for taxis and figuring out rides with people.. it is a really fun event. I went in 2015, and I haven't been to anything quite like it.
We are trying to minimize the cost of ML integration, our main target audience is people who want to remain in the free-tier forever :).
"Late stage capitalism" is the opposite. People just keep saying it claiming history is going to resume soon, and have been saying it since it was invented 110-ish years ago, and yet capitalism continues to not go anywhere.
I wish that it was easier to trim unused unpartitioned space. I find myself fumbling on BSD and Linux trying to remember how to get the exact offsets for that. You could write zeroes but there isn't a guarantee that the FTL will interpret that as unused.

When you follow the link on that page to donate, select monthly recurring donation, and go to enter payment info, they then try to upsell you (with a checkbox checked by default) to "Cover transaction costs".

(When you click the info icon: "When you cover our transaction costs, you're covering both our processing and donation platform costs.")

It's easier for a non-profit charity to be pushy about fund-raising, because it's for a good cause. But that's not Mozilla. Facets of Mozilla are run more like a for-profit tech company, including layoffs of engineers while executives still demand high compensation. Pushy comes across differently.

People want to tip the waiter, and would feel positively about that, at the same time they'd feel negatively about a restaurant owner trying to sneak a made-up fee onto the bill.
“For a non-physical soul to hold our mind we would expect significant divergence from the above.”

This sounds like it assumes a physical mind could access a non-physical soul. All we probably know is that we have to be using an intact mind to use free will.
something kind of adjacent to this is the japanese practice of _aizuchi_, or the sounds they make while listening to someone talking. it's pretty engrained in the culture there and it can be taken as rude or a sign that you’re not listening if you don't use it.
I've made the same joke that "Rules" is so named because it doesn't have any. (-:

Having had the "soccer is what Americans call it" mantra drummed in from an early age, I was very interested to learn, only very recently, that "soccer" for Association Football has the same English upper-class slang roots as "rugger" for Rugby Football, and it's not actually an Americanism at all, as checking some old dictionaries from the 19th and early 20th centuries as well as Notes and Queries has since confirmed.

Partridge actually has a name for it, the "Oxford -er"; hence "topper" for "top hat", "header" for "heading a ball", "diner" for "dining car", "camper" for "camping car", and so forth.

So one should dislike it for the right reasons: not because it's an Americanism, which it isn't in the first place, but because it's an invention of 19th century Oxbridge toffs who stuck "-er" after the first syllable of everything as a social-class shibboleth. (-:

Show HN: Funny movie quizzes generated with ChatGPT
Hi HN,

I just launched https://buzzclub.xyz/, movies quizzes with funny questions: emojis, puns, synonyms (and more to come)
All the content is generated with ChatGPT (and manually filtered)
It's a game changer for a solo game dev like me, who can now generate huge amount of content in a very short time.
I started the projects two weeks ago, used GPT-3.5 for emojis and synonyms, GPT-4 for puns, and I filled like 2000 different answers in a few days.

I hope you'll enjoy it and feel free to ask me anything about the process!

> I have idly wondered whether there's an viable opportunity to exploit retail investors who're being manipulated/misled (by, e.g., MSM financial 'news', stock-picker personalities, bloggers, WSB, etc.).

Generally, this idea doesn't work because "manipulated"/misled retail investors will still be right 50% of the time. Being bad at trading gets you zero EV, not negative.

But if you look closely, those retail investors pay fees and spread, and if you find a way to collect those, you have a strategy. Usually, spread protects the security seller against adverse selection and market movements. But if you sell to someone who certainly doesn't know more than you do, you can just collect the spread without taking any of the risks. This is why payment-for-order-flow is viable, and why retail traders get lower fees on platforms like Robinhood than professional traders on platforms like IBKR Pro.

Whatever you do, you're probably not going to find a better strategy than the multi-billion dollar hedge funds trying to do the exact same thing but with a team of 200, and you'd just end up as one of those "retail investors" you'd try to exploit. Boglehead is the smart choice.
If you feel this way, I recommend getting an ADHD assessment by a skilled and qualified professional. Everyone probably wants to be more conscientious from time to time, but if you sense you are unable to be more conscientious even though you’ve tried really hard, it might be a sign that you have some trouble with executive functioning.
Apple is coming to town for Xmas production.
My kids thankfully are not into (and we don't allow) "social media" -- no Instagram, TikTok, etc. So they're not posting selfies and waiting for the Like count to go up.

But they do spend a ton of time in online chats (Discord, Google Hangouts/Meet/whatever). Only in groups with friends, never in public rooms with strangers.

On the one hand, it is essential that they be allowed to participate in these chats, since that is how they kids are hanging out now. On the other hand, holy crap the new ways to bully and mean to each other!!
Thanks for the links.

Interestingly, I noticed Amazon's CEO of Retail, Doug Herrington, dumping sizable amounts of Amazon stock[1].

This activity is coupled with growing complaints about Amazon's quality of goods[2], delivery[3][6] and ability to return those goods[2][4][5][8][9]. Amazon is now requiring customers to file a police report in order for their credible return to be accepted[7][10][11]. Amazon is also canceling union-backed delivery contracts[12], choosing instead to offer customers $10 to pick up their packages[13].

Oh, and tons of people are reportedly canceling Prime memberships[14].

Should we consider this salient signal of a downturn for Amazon?
