I used to think the same thing but got into watches a few years ago and feel equipped to answer this. A few reasons:

1) The mechanisms. It's just cool. Many of us on HN are engineers — wristwatches and time-keeping more broadly is one of the most classic, widespread forms of engineering. It's a form of engineering that has been around for a millennia, and it's fun to have something on your wrist, full of tiny gears with a satisfying subtle noise when held up to your ear, that can keep time to around 1-2 seconds a day with the 86,400 seconds in each day.

2) The history. There's so much to find that's unique. One of my favorite watches is the Doxa Sub300 in orange, it was the favorite of Jacques Cousteau who inspired so many of us with regards to diving (invented Scuba) and the ocean in general through his documentaries. Many of these brands have so much interesting history down to each model along with admirable craftsmanship. Some people like models that look like out-of-normality for a brand, like "oh wow can you believe Rolex did THAT?", e.g. a pulsation dial for a doctor to measure someone's heart-rate, while some like the classic model that exemplifies everything about the brand.

3) The accessory. As men, we don't typically have the amount of jewelry that women do, or the ability to wear the same wide range of dress. Watches are that thing where we can show off some aspect of our personality, of who we are or who we want to be, whether that's classy and subtle, fun and unusual, or even ostentatious.

4) The bonding. This is a smaller thing, but when you're into watches, and you meet someone else out in the wild who is as well, you have the best conversations. It's this thing you mutually geek out over, and it's incredibly pure. It's a great feeling, it's like finding someone who roots for the same sports team as you in some random city abroad.

Why expensive? In points 1 and 2, the expensive watches are the ones with the best mechanisms and the best history. In point 4, the expensive watch is the one that signals that you really care about watches, because it epitomizes 1 and 2. :)
None of the methods proposed by Trezor would frustrate the attack mentioned in the article:

Validate the holograms: Most users aren't forensic experts and don't have an authentic physical sample to compare their evaluation target to, only photos of one.

Only buy from authorized resellers such as the official Amazon shop: Fake products have been introduced into Amazon's supply chain before [1].

The bootloader validates the firmware and displays a warning otherwise: Sure, but so does the fraudsters' bootloader.

Fascinating that Musk continues to run Twitter in a "move fast and break things" mode.

When the entities that affect the company's existence the most i.e. regulators and advertisers are asking for more thoughtful, measured and safe changes.

And instead he's obsessed with adding end-user features which based on the woeful Twitter Blue subscription numbers seems like a dead-end strategy.
Why is it a bad idea? Abstractly, if I had a 100% reliable way to execute all violent criminals, I'd absolutely do it. The only problem I see are false convictions. Taking people with repeated convictions for separate offenses (3 strikes, and such) would reduce that dramatically. Then you have to weight the remaining potential false convictions against actual victims of violent crime that could be prevented, and maybe indirect damage to society. Violent criminals themselves have no moral value in my book.

Seriously? I'm going to guess that it's highly unlikely that you have worked on the Hubble(or the Webb), so for you to say 'been there, done that' just show how de-sensitized you are to actual achievements.

Space race budgets were only really significantly elevated from 62-69, and fell off pretty precipitously after that, so to attribute all of that spending to 3 decades is wrong as well.

Aviation innovation is not suppressed by market demands, it is because the private market can now participate that innovation is happening again. But you don't seem to get that aviation and rocket innovation is indeed rocket science, and 'low risk designs' aren't just established over night.
> Most (all?) of your Makefile targets don't represent actual files to 'make'.

And the cool thing is....it works for both!

It can represent an actual file (e.g. a compiled binary) or abstract result (e.g., a successful test).

But whatever is different about the parental groups surely existed before the introduction of smartphones, so even if the parental groups are different, you can still conclude that introducing smartphones caused worse mental health outcomes.

Environmental pressure leads to adaptation and speciation. I don’t know what more evidence you want of my claim that a new pressure isn’t necessarily bad for general “quantity” of speciation.

> Self-taught people are almost always too eager to get their hands on a soldering iron, and end up with a jumble of information, instead or intuitive understanding.

But if those self-taught people spend enough time, that jumble of information becomes deep empirical knowledge. At the end of the day, developing an understanding of electronics just comes down to how much time you are willing to invest in studying datasheets, working out schematics, fabricating circuits and keenly observing. Understanding the math and physics is deeply valuable and a great gift, but empirical knowledge is just as valuable- if not more. After all, Faraday (and all the others who did the work that eventually led to our mathematical and physical understanding of elecric circuits) did not need theory to do his experiments.

Yea - along with interpretation of an icon being the issue.
Wow this was really interesting. As a semi-competitive player during the Tekken 3/TTT1 days one of the under appreciated parts of getting good at an international level is diversity of arcade "cultures".

What this means is that your arcade generally provides the same players again and again, and performing well against those players provides little guarantee against players in another arcade who've developed entirely different techniques and playing styles.

So you have to play, a lot, against a huge range of players. You can't really just play against your arcade's local players and get to a level that's competitive on even a regional level. I remember the first time I emerged, after a few months of heavy playing, into an arcade in a neighboring city, and getting crushed the first few matches.

I've since played TTT1 in arcades around the world and I've always found somebody who does something I've neve seen before.

That these guys can pull off winning, against ultracompetitive leaders in ultracompetitive hypermarkets like Japan or Korea is absolutely incredible.

It'd almost be like Pakistan fielding a Superbowl winning American Football team after only getting together enough guys for the offensive and defensive lines and only playing those lines against each other.
It was Rockwell-Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that first urged Dr. Hipp to pursue this certification.

They would not have done so if they had no plans or intention to deploy it.

I would be surprised if they were not able to do so.

I'm physically active, no big health issues, and my Dr. says I don't need it.
He’s the richest person on earth and has a very solid track record. I’m betting he knows more than the average bitter commenter.
No one believes this.
Other than generating a small set of known seeds, some signature formats (including ECDSA, which is used for many cryptocurrencies) also allow exfiltrating data through some of the values they consist of and which are required to validate them.

If the wallet uses deterministic ECDSA, or the algorithm used is deterministic by definition (such as EdDSA), this can be detected, but doing so requires validating some generated signatures on a second, trusted device.
I wouldn't speak too loudly on that high horse.

The groups behind this initiative aren't just providing a journalist-friendly interface to scraped data from one source. They are also preserving historical data that is no longer available from any other source.[1]

This also provides a degree of needed redundancy as the EU Transparency Register is still far from perfect and subject to attempts at manipulation and obfuscation. See for example this story of a failed attempt to memory hole a lobby group's activities.[2]

They also keep the pressure on the EU Transparency Register by filing formal complaints and campaigning to improve transparency.[3]

I'm not really sure there are other good options. Sure, high cost of living, but high income. Moving would reduce both, and in any case the different in savings would be insignificant compared to inherited assets.

Product just wants lots of things to look at and be able to iterate quickly, with observations recorded at the (verbal) speed of thought.

Make a shared editor with Tinder-like swiping. A velocity-sensitive Figma surface.

Gimme a form with text fields. First name. Last name. Button.

Make the button blue. No, black. Pink text.

This reminds me of a story we did two sprints ago. Remember that? How many points was it? Auto Jira lookup.

UX weighs in. Devs just speak. Speech recognition for point estimates. Vocal planning poker.

What's that one schema look like again? Table with columns pop up. No, the users one. Okay, let's put that aside.

QA. Test plans. Little acceptance criteria cards get tacked on. People just speaking, flowing.

Everyone got that? Recording's saved. Great meeting.

its sort of a catch 22, feedback loop. the reverse of "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded" - Yogi Berra.

If all the trade volume on an exchange moves to a private room, because the private room is cheaper, because its cheaper cuz of the volume, and it has the volume cuz everyone moved there, because its cheaper ...

Sure, they invested a lot of money to make technology that can beat the exchanges. But part of the reason they beat the exchanges is because they took all the trades and can match better not because of their tech but because of all the liquidity.
I am unsure of how the trailing edge tech works, are they blowing the air out of trailing edge for roll control, and is it blowing aft or directionally? Is the blown air itself the force moving the wing or is it just redirecting flow over the wing? I am thinking of diminishing control as speeds lower, which is already a characteristic of regular control surfaces.

This is super interesting, I would love to build it in an RC plane.
The hope would be that the new vaccines are drastically more effective.

The problem with assessing flu vaccine efficacy is that the uptake of the vaccine is so low because the flu vaccine often has significant side effects (it knocks me out for a day each time), and often doesn't even prevent you from getting the flu. At best, the flu vaccine as it is today, just reduces the severity of the disease (which is worthwhile for some populations).
Most people use pdfLaTeX or XeTeX, which may have some basis in the original Tex82 but have since moved on, at least in code.

> Why is it a bad idea?

Because institutionalizing killing as a response to violating expectations normalizes killing as a response to violating expectations, and does not do anything to assure that people in whom that value is reinforced also have faith in society’s system of assessing violations.
There's certainly that, but in truth, I didn't mean it that way. More like: "trick people into doing what's in their own best interests, because their hearts may not swayed by logic, even if their minds are."

I submit that electricity adheres approximately as closely to the colloquial "water in pipes" model as actual water in pipes does.

Here is my recent experience that is not my fault. I received a bill from two ago. The provider decided to report me to a collection because they filed an incorrect claim. This was a nurse assistant portion of the urgent care bill. Everything else was covered but this bill was not filed correctly. The insurance won't cover because it is old bill but I am still on the hook. I wasn't even aware of this bill existed till I received a call. The bill is 3x times higher than what insurance would pay. I am totally under the billing gun and I am forced to pay otherwise they will ruiny credit.
Something tells me that increasing the credit score and encouraging more debt financing of people struggling to pay a $500 medical bill may have some unintended consequences.
I was 'critical infrastructure' and didn't stay home. Work trucks kept rolling. I wasn't scared. I didn't 'voluntarily' comply with operation warp speed.

Visits to mine sites were glorious because MSHA didn't promote the OSHA theatrics. My child and I were invited to the yearly pig roast for workers and family at one mine, and it was awesome. We then drove back to big city and unfortunately went to grocery store seemingly in a different world of masked gloved stink-eye scared shoppers wiping down their soup cans.
This is really neat! Looks like a great way to add a bit of pop to a landing page.
The book 'The New Wild : Why Invasive Species Will be Nature's Salvation' is really interesting about this :

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/22716462

To quote a bit of my own review of the book

"The New Wild (2016) by Fred Pearce is a fascinating different perspective on introduced species and their role in ecosystems. Fred Pearce is an environmental writer who writes for New Scientist.

Pearce puts forward the idea that landscapes that are truly untouched by man are very rare and possibly don’t even exist. He puts forward many, many examples of species that are regarded as native that have been brought in. He also points out that naturally with a changing climate species have been moving forever.

The book recounts how a new volcanic island was rapidly colonised by species from elsewhere. He also writes about Ascension Island in the South Atlantic that had hardly any vegetation but that visitors turned into a rich ecosystem. But it is far from an untouched one."

Species have been moving around a lot, dynamically, for a long time. The idea that some species are 'invasive' and others are native is just picking a snapshot in time.
expect to read this on wsb, not here. Multiple research papers have shown PFOF is not as detrimental as it made out to be, and it certain cases actually help retail investors (narrow spreads, zero fee trading, better fills). Some retail traders tend to externalize their loses by blaming it on exchanges, Nancy Pelosi and the 'system'.
I wouldn't want to spoil things for you! The Comanche were a lot like the Vikings. They were empire builders like the Vikings, and you wouldn't want to be their neighbor any more than you'd want to be a neighbor to the Vikings.

It's a great epic, and I don't know why somebody hasn't created an epic series about them. There have been a couple pathetic westerns about the Comanche, which are best ignored.

Check out the book. You won't be disappointed!
I got hired for a job because I was willing to learn to program on OpenVMS. I'd never heard of it, but asked the interviewer "it's a lot like UNIX, right?". He looked at me, waited 5 or 10 seconds, and said "no." Oh well, I passed their C and SQL tests, they weren't going to let me go that easily.

I'll probably retire when they finally retire it, but at the rate they're going I may beat them to it. I won't miss it, but I won't regret it either.
You run into the typical neural net problem with this logic. OpenAI (or at least Sam Altman) have already publicly acknowledged that the diminishing returns they're seeing in terms of model size are sufficient to effectively declare that 'the age of giant models is already over.' [1] It seems many people were unaware of his comments on this topic.

Neural networks in literally every other field always repeat the exact same pattern. You can get from 0-80 without breaking a sweat. 80-90 is dramatically harder but you finally get there. So everybody imagines getting from 90-100 will be little more than a matter of a bit more compute and a bit more massaging of the model. But it turns out that each fraction of a percent progress you make starts becoming exponentially more difficult - and you eventually run into an asymptote that's nowhere near what you are aiming for.

A prediction based on the typical history of neural nets would be that OpenAI will be able to continue to make progress on extremely specific metrics, like scoring well on some test or another, largely by hardcoding case-specific workarounds and tweaks. But in terms of general model usage, we're unlikely to see any real revolutionary leaps in the foreseeable future.

If we see model accuracy increase I'd expect it to be thanks not to model improvement, but instead by doing something like adding a second layer where the software cross references the generated output against a 'fact database' and regenerates its answer when some correlation factor is insufficiently high. Of course that'd completely cripple the model's ability to ever move 'beyond' its training. It'd be like if mankind was forced to double check that any response on astronomy we made confirmed that the Earth is indeed the center of the universe, with no ability to ever change that ourselves.

You can't squeeze blood from a turnip, and you can't make Twitter profitable. Twitter's problem is, and always has been, the business model. If you want to make money off ads then you have to keep the content acceptable to advertisers. Advertisers don't want their ads next to neo-Nazi propaganda on Twitter. Elon's approach to this is totally assbackwards if his goal is to make money.
The training process is finding local minimums based around an initialization vector of random numbers. 1000s of years of evolution probably mean you were initialized better than a baby AI using a pseudo random number generator.
Oops. Quite right. They allow unlimited websites. I should know that, because they're currently hosting two websites for me. :-P
That’s an arbitrary line to make though. The human brain starts with a general architecture that has been gone through billions and trillions of generations of evolutionary training, before being fine tuned in a single individual over decades, and then you did a little bit of fine tuning and few shot at the end and claim that is comparable to the entire training of a LLM from scratch? Not to mention the many more orders of magnitude of neurons that a human brain has. I could equally argue that an LLM takes zero training, since we have ALREADY trained models and I can just copy the model and run it and get a new “brain” performing a task, instead of taking decades of training to get there.

Even your statement about programming skills is debatable, it depends on how you measure programming skill. They certainly are faster at it, and they know more computer languages than most people have even heard of. In fact, human programming strength seems to be more about general logic and planning skills over programming-specific skills, both things where the bulk of training happened evolutionarily and more generally over the course of a life.

The truth is, the two are not directly comparable. They are completely different architectures, at completely different scales, with entirely different strengths and weaknesses.
Fed wiki is still the current project. This was entirely about the hosting for the original wiki.
