That's an interesting and important point. I suppose if everyone takes this attitude then society would fall apart, unless people are spontaneously feeling the need to connect with each other. But I'm skeptical that you need to acquiesce to the increasingly corporate communications vying for your attention, just to stay available for real human connection.

The internet is a medium that facilitates asynchronous communications with like minds. You can leave a comment on a website, or link to your blog post, as a beacon to anyone who's opted into a similar filter bubble. They can find it and contact you. Yes, it will be unsolicited, but not in the same way as a marketing email or billing notice is unsolicited. Nobody is communicating without consent when publishers and readers are participating in a shared community.

If I publish a blog post on my hobby, and someone I've never met emails me about partnering on a project for the hobby, then although it's unsolicited, I would still appreciate the email and follow up. It might take me a while to notice it since I only check my email every few days, but I will almost certainly reply. A personal connection is a welcome respite from a noisy onslaught of automated communications.
There is a mute button, sometimes labelled, sometimes hidden, but try pressing them all.

If true, the terrible thing is that it is traumatic to even study this.

> that's what's your HTTPS certificate is for.

Not really...
That certificate doesn't go back in time. If a domain expires, an attacker could reregister it under their name and get a valid certificate.

You'd be downloading from the right domain name with a valid HTTPS certificate, but you're not downloading from the same place as before.
But also we are fully remote!
Multiple reasons, here are my two cents:
* ROS nodes usually do ( or did back when we used ) pretty resource intensive tasks so they are generally distributed over multiple machines
* Individual nodes can have quite diverse library requirements ( specific library versions of obscure libraries ) that don't go together, so you want to decouple them
I don’t see the appeal of the Bay Area. High cost of living, high taxes, high rent, but also droughts, wildfires, occasional tsunamis and hurricanes.

NYC on the other hand has a giant river going through it (two technically), no wildfires, no tsunamis, and plenty of real estate, commercial and residential, compared to CA.

Keep in mind the posted salary is negotiable. It's a rookie mistake to assume that if you are offered the job, your only option is to take the offer at the amount listed in the public job offer.

Negotiating salary well is an important career skill.
Yes, ads suck. However, here's my take on advertising:

Modern economic markets are a decentralized process via which we decide how to best allocate resources. For this to work, we need a mechanism that allows information to be broadcasted through the system to ensure local decisions make sense. (In fact, information asymmetry is one of the main failure modes of modern markets).

So, yeah, advertising sucks, but 1. it's an important part of our market economy and 2. it therefore adds a lot of value to the world.

I actually have a hard time reconciling the reasoning above with how icky, insidious and unpleasant marketing feels when I get subjected to it.
What are the features missing then? The main one I can see is edit PDFs directly[0], but I'd bet money that Mozilla wouldn't implement that on iOS anyways.

FF can largely do exactly the same thing they do on Desktop to attract people: create a privacy-focused browser (if that's even what they're doing) and things like syncing your bookmarks, passwords, using Firefox VPN, and blocking ads.

gas stations have begun to play particularly loud/obnoxious video advertisements at the pump

Just one more of the many reasons to drive electric. It's when I make the rare drive to a gas station in the ol' fossil burner that I'm reminded of what shit holes some gas stations have become. Half the pumps don't work, the card readers are full of skimmers, but by golly the video and audio work!
The article mentions GOW[0] for a file watcher. If anyone is looking for a non-go specific one, I've really enjoyed reflex[1]. Makes it super easy to reload different parts of a project based on what type of file has changed.

I would say Haskell LSP is considered unimportant by a nontrivial amount of Haskellers. I know of many who just don't bother using it at all. So in the Haskell community, LSP is less important than LSP is in other language communities.
Ask HN: How do you manage time and expectations at work?
I'm relatively late in a pretty successful career, but I find that I'm still doing heroic Hail Mary projects to keep my position safe and career alive. The sales manager in my head will reactively make some promise in a meeting with little thought, then I'll spend the next 3 months killing myself to follow through. It's worked so far, but it's getting a bit tiring and I don't think it's sustainable.

With such a deeply ingrained habit, it would help to get some ideas on how you all manage expectations at work to prevent digging yourselves into holes and keeping reasonable hours so you can protect your personal time.

You could be suffering from survivorship bias
Children suffer. Adults suffer. Everyone suffers. I'm left with choosing which suffering my daughter will incur more of, either suffering "isolation" in making it harder for her to find friends by disallowing her from using social media for some time, or suffering the body image and other mental health and emotional disorders that could come from too much social media use at an early age. To some extent, I would love to give her the choice between the two herself, but most parents are going to be protective about certain things and make decisions like these for their children.

Also, my point wasn't even that I suffered therefore she should as well. My point was that children will bully each other over the most capricious shit imaginable, including whether or not you have the right backpack. At the time, I wished my mom would have just bought me a Jansport backpack (she wouldn't because we were poor), and now I look back on it as silly (and I'd guess those same bullies would have found another reason to make fun of me, like not having Nike shoes).

Further, having a smartphone and Instagram or Tiktok account aren't magical antidotes to social isolation at a young age.

But yes, I overcame my own suffering fairly easily.
> Nope, you assume wrong. That's exactly what I (also) want, that is, knowing that the authors remained the same, whoever they are.

The point is that they don't remain the same. Assuming that they do is an operational error.

> Nope, nobody really needs more of that, since that's what's your HTTPS certificate is for.

HTTPS provides transport security, i.e. an authenticity relationship between you and GitHub's servers. It doesn't provide artifact authenticity for the source on that server, and cannot. That's what the comment above is referring to.
> Anglo societies seem to find this much harder to reckon with.

It's because of our astonishingly bad common law system. The worst thing that England gave to the world.
Nor with the level of responsiveness and testing.

You can see, in real-time, how well a comment went over, how quickly it spreads, and rapidly correlate it with specific demographics.

The upvotes on each comment here are a simple version of that, but it functions just as easily with Likes, reddit updoots, re-tweets, etc.

It's almost a skinner-box at this point
I think there's a huge division in toxicity between wet bench and computational/dry lab work. If your math PhD friends go on a wild goose chase or slack off for a few weeks, the only thing that is lost is time. In a wet lab, it could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. The stakes, stress, and constant attention required from experiments feeds into the toxicity in wet labs.

Adding to that, a large portion of (important) wet bench work is mind-numbing manual labor. This work really should be done by a tech, but techs are just as if not more expensive than grad students, and techs can leave the job if they're not happy. Which means that grad students are at the bottom of the totem pole of intellectual respect, and PIs who had to do the same expect a lot more "due paying".

Meanwhile, students in computational labs are working from home.
Erm... you realize this isn't the first study on ketamine, right?

This is one study, that has not yet been peer-reviewed, that explicitly acknowledged the study design could be subject to significant subject-expectancy bias, using one particular treatment regimen, with a treatment group of ~20 people. At most, this study tells us that we have more to learn about what's going on and why we see significant effects. Both groups did see significant effects relative to base rates that are unlikely to be random even at that small sample size! Funny how you've come to radically different conclusions on the findings than the scientists themselves.

I am actually only vaguely aware of the marketing around this -- I've been following this space for about a decade and have read quite a few studies around it. Even if this study is generalizable and ketamine is no more effective at treating depression than the idea that ketamine will have an effect in treating the depression (placebo), we know from the evidence that it's having a significant effect relative to simple regression to the mean (depressed people simply getting less depressed without treatment). If it's a placebo, it's a powerful placebo, and placebo effects that are effective aren't a bad thing.
The people let go find similar or better jobs in startups which encourages competition. Just because they were let go from a large company does not mean, there is no demand for their skills. In fact there is a huge demand.
> Here's a novel idea: advertisers might put a modicum of care into selecting the time, place, and manner in which to present products to the world.

Yeah I totally agree. Bombarding peoples' senses isn't even effective advertising, IMO. They can do better.

Here's another novel idea: How about make products actually good, and let third parties review them? Most of the time I choose products based on reviews, not ads. If I'm in the market for something I probably will watch reviews about the various choices.
As someone who has worked in marketing … I think adtech created stances like this.

If advertising worked like it did before about 1994 or so, I think we’d see fewer complaints of this nature. Adtech overplayed its hand for a quarter-century.

The thing that sucks about this, IMHO, is that it makes no room for above-board players. Doesn’t matter that it supports millions of jobs. Doesn’t matter that there are lots of well-intentioned people out there who just happen to work in advertising.

This guy is 100% within his right. And honestly, the sector deserves it. Bad actors destroyed a lot of goodwill in the name of performance and better numbers.

But I wish it didn’t.
Glad you liked yours; the 210s and 220s and the original MLs were the nadir of Mercedes value-engineering when it came to many things, and rustproofing was certainly one of them.
My whole point is it's not like that. Saving lives is unambiguously good and murdering people is unambiguously bad. Planes and trains are similar and accomplish the same thing, and neither is inherently good or bad.
>People still talk to each other.

At Church on Sunday? No, that has collapsed.

At other social civic meetings... um, no not there.

Social gathering and civic interaction in the US has become highly commercialized and put into non-public places such as social media.
I dunno, I think it’s actually Pick three:

- extreme corporate profits
- better wages
- US jobs
- lower prices

You can’t optimize both for extreme shareholder returns and extreme wealth at the top and also pay first world good wages/living standards and have lower prices. Unfortunately, in this race, shareholder returns is often still the last thing compromised on, it seems.
I think either MA must have some laws limiting the density of billboards and their content? We definitely haven’t gotten rid of them enough, but it is not as bad as the stuff you get outside of New England.
I think folks are missing the key here. If waymo offers its own app and there aren't any available vehicles when a user wants a ride, user trust is lost, and people don't bother trying it next time.

With the Uber app, Uber will show both options when they're both available. It allows waymo to offer a lower SLA/SLO while still gradually fielding a service. It also allows for easier fallback if a waymo vehicle is taking too long to arrive.
Are you sure about your numbers or did you only back-test your assumptions?

Scaling a trading strategy is quite difficult even with ETFs. If you trade futures which have a huge daily liability then it gets so much worse and options even worse. (Regarding back testing assumption to be filled and scaling).

If you can scale your strategy reliably then you wouldn't ask others to buy in. Any margin account is enough, except if you must outsource risks.

With IVRank and ImpliedVolatility% (I just use black sholes but compare it to your model) being at low bottom and a huge expected change of rho (interest free rate) which me and the markets seem to be unable to price.... what vehicles would you even use to monetize these events (Futures and options don't need to consider rho changes too much if traded in the vicinity if the VIX indicator how can you promise more)?
Mobile news sites are so bad I have a hard time believing that it was done on purpose. The actual content of the article is actually hard to find among (or beneath!) the mess of advertisements and clickbait.

>implies that Hanson, if they wanted, could do Master Of Puppets properly

Hanson put out a joke video of them covering a Slipknot song, so yeah, I think they could.

Hanson has been the butt of many jokes, but they're an incredibly tight band with plenty of talent.
> Just one more of the many reasons to drive electric

Oh yeah, just wait until your charging station installs ads. Then you're stuck watching an ad while your vehicle charges. That, of course, takes longer than inserting fuel into a tank. So more advertisements and more money for the charger!
Is it that ironic?

Self-contained navigation has always been a priority in aviation, for fairly obvious reasons (safety, i.e. not having to depend on the complex external single point of failure that GNSSs are, and security, i.e. GNSS spoofing).

Planes were using INSs long before GPS to navigate across oceans, but even today, they're required to carry several instances of each (GPS and INS, in addition to ground-based systems) for redundancy.
As much as I hate ads, as a thought experiment I wonder how much less or more the world would have progressed without that form of information dissemination (paid advertising specifically).
>horrible OS designed for consumer cattle

I promise you, this is coming to charge stations too.
That may be true for highly labor intensive roles but a fully automated operation is _more_ profitable when the few jobs that are required are staffed by trained personnel.

That is one of the reasons this factory isn't located in a poorer area. It's in Ft. Collins _because_ the profitability projections assume they can operate at somewhere better than 97% uptime.
Hate to be that guy but does anyone have a similar compilation for vim?
Framing this as a "youth" problem is wrong IMO. Social media "disease" or whatever you want to call it affects everyone. It affects old people just as much, if not more so.

I see social media as extremely problematic across a bi-modal distribution. Those most negatively affected are either under 30 or over 60. There is nothing special about those in them middle other than the context that they may have—or rather, are more likely to have—for what is "real" and what is "fake". If you are between 30 and 60 it's possible you have more context for how to understand what is real and what is fake because you watched the internet evolve. I've noticed this group has a better probability of understanding things like the authority of some domains over others. They seem to be able to spot things like scams on Facebook a bit easier.

Seniors are so vulnerable on the internet today, particularly on Facebook. The damage that social media is doing to the mental health of seniors is just as bad if not worse than what it's doing to youths. Seniors actually seem to trust social media more in many ways.
> standing armies

Armies yes. Standing, not so much no. Human history is 100,000-200,000 years. That would be < 3% of human history. To do this, humans had to invent pre-feudal client/vassal networks of specialized food producer and warrior classes. This for the very reason that most humans had to spend most of their time in the act of producing food.
Traffic signs and signs for gas stations and fast food are largely standard (color/fonts/symbols/etc.), they can be easily recognized as such by a neural net and whitelisted.

That said, when I'm a pedestrian, I wouldn't mind traffic signs being covered up as well. They completely destroy the look of the surrounding architecture and flora, but I understand they are a necessity for the cars. As a pedestrian I don't really care what the speed limit is.
JavaScript and Python have been used for this since literally the 90s.
The mantra we use with our kids is "We will try and respect your privacy but we aren't bound by it." As I often tell my son, "It's your room but it's my house."

And we make it extra clear that the moment they go online, they have no expectation of privacy. Better they learn that someone's snooping now than be surprised when it's Google/Facebook/NSA.
Catching a panic is _morally_ equivalent to catching a SIGSEGV. It is not meant for normal program error conditions and expected failures (e.g. "No such file").
You can get pretty close to this using Kagi's search settings and then using the custom css option to hide the remaining bits.
Spoken language tends to converge at ~40 bits per second for all natural human languages.[1] I wouldn't be surprised that if separate scripts were developed independently for each language they would all converge on a certain rate of information per square centimeter as well.

The stickers are a good idea. I also wonder if there's a discrete way of permanently damaging a speaker, e.g. with a magnet or something that could fit discretely in the palm of one's hand.
I believe AM commercial radio broadcasts in the USA are medium frequency, not low frequency. My AM radio tuner on my desk goes from 530 to 1700 kHz.

Making good antennas for this frequency range generally requires rather physically large antennas as the wavelength is quite large, so finding objects is not really a good use of these frequencies.
The Bay suffers regularly from several natural disasters and I’m skeptical on the cost of living being lower. If we’re looking at “the Bay Area”, we should look at the “NYC metro area”, including cheaper suburbs like Yonkers and Hoboken.

The Catskills are quite scenic, but I admit they don’t hold a flame to Yosemite, et. Al.
I'm pretty sure I won't get this offered since I am not signed into any Microsoft account on my Windows 11 installation. Or, I get it offered, but requested to sign in.

I have zero issues with signing GitHub Copilot into my GitHub account to use it with Android Studio or VS Code, I just don't want the OS to be logged into a cloud account which I don't really own and where I don't know what's getting synced to it.
That's the thing, social media is full of people like Tate pushing all sorts of views. All the things you missed out on with social media that you rightly describe as drama were not important. I don't even have that much of an issue with Tate, he's just obviously trying to get people to pay for his membership. Some of the ideas he pushes are far less dangerous than the other stuff being pushed out there. I do disagree strongly with you taking positions and counseling kids that you are simply supposed to be tutoring. Ask your parents is a perfectly acceptable answer. You were essentially using your position of authority to push your viewpoint on impressionable minds. You may think you were doing right but in reality it was not your job and you were undermining parental roles. If I discovered my kids tutors were doing this I would react poorly.
ITT: the effects of conservative propaganda, which conflates "natural" with "necessary, unavoidable, and acceptable," particularly in matters of sexual instinct

The foundation of human society is subjugating (evolved animal) instinct, to evolved cultural expectations and behavioral norms.

It is fundamental in functional societies that instinct is not "denied," it is recognized as exactly that thing which society erects constructs and behavioral expectations around to manage.

Instinct may in most cases be unavoidable and inevitable.

Healthy participation in a healthy society means asserting will and cultivating habits which correct for, guard against, and render unproblematic, these things.

NB I say "propaganda" because there is a relentless subtext (now, often overtly stated and championed, especially among shills for toxic masculinity) that "men are unable to control themselves, and it is not just inappropriate but immoral to expect them to." Ask any seventh grade boy you know about Tate and his ilk... then educate and push back.

To clarify I am asking in all honesty and positive reflection because I feel quite lost in this market.
I’m wondering where you are that there is free speech on AM radio. Stations have licenses granted by the government, and stations get fined if they broadcast anything untoward. Any sort of wired communication has freer speech than that.
