Oh I see. Hmm, it’s interesting although the effect seems small enough that I wonder if the true cause is something like “if you get a serious illness as a senior then you’re more likely to decline overall and that’s what contributes to Alzheimer’s.” Since Alzheimer’s also seems correlated with lots of other bad conditions, like T2D, sedentariness, low physical fitness, poor social habits, smoking.
An implementation in a different language should be pretty clear of license constraints? No code shared is no code shared.
I will critique the training method.

The way the game is presented is as a kind of flash card app: Guess and check. That can work - spaced repetition has been demonstrated to work for symbolic knowledge.

However...the way in which we learn this kind of skill - which is also a muscle memory skill - is not in consciously making a guess "I think it's E here" as we play, it's in "monkey see, monkey do" - associating motion with an idea, and generalizing on that. We know how to "walk to the left" without guessing. That's why musicians play so many scales and arpeggios.

So when the game presents a randomized grabbag of question-answer knowledge demonstration, there's no preparatory step that would contextualize it in a relationship to a motion like "travel through all positions of E". You just grind through punishment until you figure it out. That's always been a problem with educational software because it's often difficult to successfully isolate a concept into a motion - if presented with lots of information we'll pick up on the most obvious cues and ignore the other parts that we might need to rely upon for a full memory.

Find a way of presenting an isolated pattern followed by the current knowledge demonstration, and the software will probably be 10x as effective.
I don't own a gun (I've never even shot a gun before), but I came across this video on YouTube and I'm really impressed with how thoughtfully this BioFire gun was designed. If I did ever purchase a gun, I think for sure I'd insist on something like this, since the main risk seems to be your kids finding it or an attacker overpowering you and shooting you with your own gun, both of which would be prevented by this. Also you don't have to worry about someone stealing the gun and committing crimes with it (maybe it can be hacked, but probably not by the typical home invader!). Anyway, thought I'd share it with HN.
Sadly, it also corrects "mistakes" if there aren't any.
I'm confused. Did someone important make criminal allegations against him and the FBI is up in his business to see if there's a there there?
For those blocked by the paywall I found this article that goes over a little of it.

As the article makes clear up front, the number of people in the USA of working age is diminishing faster than the rate of overall population is growing. Yes, raising pay will bring some retirees into the workforce (is that good or bad for those people?) but won’t materially increase the size of the pool.

If your country’s population is growing you are “giving away” the land to other people, and of course different people have different attitudes…what is considered “culture” changes regardless.
Honestly I've only ever played it single player or with 2 players. So yes, it's 100% playable under all conditions that I've been able to test. There are plenty of games with unacceptable performance on my machines; do I get to call all of them alpha-quality?

Have to agree with this.

Nintendo is infamously litigious. I know that many people say the debate over emulators is "settled" and they are perfectly legal, but I'd rather not poke the bear and just keep things as they are.

Emulators are an invaluable tool for game preservation...and I don't want to see one of, if not the best emulator ever, be forced to cease development.
A recurring anti-pattern I have seen over and over is the app that is built and runs on a developer desktop, then becomes business critical and needs to scale and evolve, and eventually fails catastrophically. Maybe the SQL database design or storage system isn’t capable of handling the new I/O requirements. Maybe the creator quits and nobody else knows how it works. Whatever.

On-prem is like that. Yes, you have all the skills to originally stand it up. But you don’t know what you don’t know, and you make a bunch of resource trade-offs, usually by not implementing stuff that you’ll never need (until you do).

That was the point I was trying to make.

As I said though, the unique value of cloud is letting you focus on a business specific problem instead of reinventing wheels that have already been invented many times over.

As other a have pointed out, other benefits are scale-on-demand, pay only for what you use, and agility - if you have a great idea you don’t have to do a PO and wait months for a server.
I believe I found out about it from my uncle when I was like 16 or 17. Or at least he convinced me to check it out.
I have an unused set of the original vintage kits. There are quite a number of loop wing and asymmetric ones. These are more advanced than paper airplanes.
It reads more like "I don't have a photographic memory, instead, I build relations and add contextual cues that help remember details of situations".

There is no claim about the IQ at all, it's all focused on how memory works. And even if the tricks to improve our memorization are the same, everyone will still have different abilities and capacity with a focus on specific things (like remembering chess positions vs chess "non-positions", as referenced from that study with random placement). Some people will do these tricks intuitively, yet others need to train, but being explicit seems important especially as the pressure on the memory grows ("revise, revise, revise").

This has nothing to do with the IQ, which is more like CPU power instead of L1/L2 cache or RAM (books and notes would be floppy or hard drives ;)).
I agree, Ive found combining LLMs with Google has worked well for research. Use it for all sorts if random things, usually starting with search then hopping to chatgpt or bard when I cant understand the results. Then back to search when I know what to look for again.
Namespaces and cgroups provide resource accounting and some limited isolation between trusted workloads. They're not considered a sandbox or security boundary because the processes have full access to the Linux kernel APIs, which are not well-hardened.

To provide a security boundary between Linux processes, it's currently considered best practice to use something like Firecracker or gVisor.

Besides the ethics of it, there's a productivity aspect. It's like when the British paid for dead snakes in India and people bred snakes. This means there's no reduction in wild snakes.

If three big dudes encircle a guy in an alleyway and say "you want to buy this stolen car stereo for $40, right?" and then you bust the guy for pulling out his wallet, you have done nothing to reduce the demand for stolen property in your city. You caught the demand, but you also created it. (The feature is a built-in amplifier, but the benefit is not getting your ass beat.)
Developments like that were happening elsewhere.

Are there any notable success stories?
> Most of the maintenance requirements a ICE has are required by an EV, too (less oil changes). Parts are way more expensive on the Tesla than the Toyota.

You've expressed this idea about parts a few times in this thread, yet haven't actually proven that.

How about some comparisons of what some parts, common to both a Model Y and a Corolla, cost?

I'll give it a shot:

A control arm for a 2022 Model Y: about $150.
A control arm for a 2022 Corolla: about $150.

Rear door window glass for a 2022 Model Y: about $190.
Rear door window glass for a 2022 Corolla: about $190.

Hood for a 2022 Model Y: about $500.
Hood for a 2022 Corolla: about $477.

I'm not even cherry picking - literally just thinking of a part and searching for prices. Without a doubt, there are parts on a Tesla that cost a lot more than the same part on a Corolla, but I haven't found them.

Point is: you're incorrect when you repeat the myth that Tesla parts are any more expensive than any other vehicle of the same model year. Most parts cost the same.

Bigger point: of the parts most frequently replaced on a ICE vehicle, the Tesla typically doesn't have those same parts. Fan belts, fuel injectors, timing belts, clutches, valves, alternators, and so on.

TL;DR People who buy a Tesla to "save money" are likely saving money.

A pet theory of mine is Mozilla’s C-suite knows no matter how bad Firefox gets and how low their user count, Google will continue to fund them because Google likes something to point to if antitrust came knocking - in fact the lower Firefox’s influence the better as Chrome can then unilaterally control the web.

So they spend all of Mozilla’s money on various BS like Pocket and now VPN to try to make more money so they can further increase their already high salaries, instead of reinvesting into Firefox - hence the anti-user intrusive ads, the reduction of head count while paying themselves millions of dollars.

Nonsense. "Everyone does it" is a lousy defense, and all laws are selectively enforced.

They cheated. Period.
Wow... we can't catch every criminal so we should just allow everyone to commit crimes.

Every class I took in college made at least some attempt to prevent cheating but it can certainly be tough. Not every subject even lends itself to evaluation by in class exam - especially when the point is to teach people how to research the subject. To suggest that simply because schools are unable to catch every act they should essentially give up is the most backwards answer I can think of.

In my specific case, Odoo modules are pretty unusual, the default scaffolding is barely existant, the documentation is not great. I haven't found any useable alternative starter templates either.

Beside that, it's also hard to use other Odoo modules s references because there's some weird thing where Odoo decided to recreate an old version of React that uses XML rather than JSX. They call it OWL. But they've only partially migrated so modules are mixed between that and I think at least two older styles. Oh, and some time in the past they decided to invent their own version of JS modules too. It's a mess.

Oh yeah, and I'm using Odoo 16 while nearly everything else I can find is for Odoo 15, 14, or 13, and there have been a lot of technical changes between those versions.

I've been programming professionally for about 15 years and this is one of the most tangled pieces of spaghetti I've ever had to unravel. There's just too many threads to easily keep them in my head at once, and very little in the way of tutorials.

In this situation, for all it's faults, GPT-4 does a great job as an assistant. It genuinely is better than the alternatives I have available - even though it's also limited in knowledge of Odoo 16 which was released after the training date.

Calling this thing "Code Interpreter" is an interesting decision on OpenAI's part. It looks more like the Babel Fish of data science. Utterly amazing.
>totally worth it

Exactly. That was sort of the point of my original comment, although unfortunately I think I only confused things by mentioning herd immunity.

Another way of making my point might be to say, there’s a “personal standard” (is it worth it for me to take it?) and a “mandatory standard” (is it worth abrogating individual self-determination to make everyone take it?). Influenza clears the “personal” standard for many, but it appears that it does not clear the “mandatory” standard in most jurisdictions, as it has not been made mandatory in most places. On the other hand, smallpox (~7,000 infections per million people before, 0 per million after) and measles (~3,000 per million before, ~1 per million after) are examples where the standard for “mandatory” is cleared with flying colors. My point is not to debate whether the covid vaccine clears the mandatory standard or not - my point is only that we didn’t have that debate.
If guns like these were pervasive, a typical home invader would likely know who they can flip it to, who would know how to hack it.

And soon enough, even your kids would learn how to hack it (if not before: kids really like figuring out stuff they are not supposed to do!).

I don't own a gun either (though I shot one in a shooting range twice), but if I was ever worried I'd need to defend myself with guns, I'd probably stockpile on live rounds instead of guns: in a case where people would need to rise to arms, I figure rounds will quickly become more valuable and could be easily exchanged for a gun with someone without any rounds.
In the face of such problems, it is difficult to draw conclusions directly, and the solution to some things is often found in the process of doing.

If you're going to solve something like this, then a better way is to find the right way to do it first, but often this correct way is only discovered in the process of doing it.

Haha, it's like a paradox, if you don't do this then you can't find a solution, and as a result, this thing can't be done, and if you do it, then you will face an uncertainty.

So, you need to keep trying and trying and making mistakes, and then make adjustments, get closer to the unknown right direction, and finding the right direction is not a one-time achievement.

The DMCA basically exists to support Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft's anti-consumer and anti-competitive business models. Jailbreaking is "legal" for anything that isn't a game console, under the logic that users don't have a good reason to do it besides piracy.

Which is of course complete fucking bullshit, especially since it means that an alternative store can never exist without being violating the DMCA.

I hope that the push towards an alternate app store on iOS also brings more attention to this issue.

(btw, idk if anything I just mentioned above is relevant to the Dolphin situation)
The difficulty with cloud is Joel's rule: "All non-trivial abstractions are leaky" they just abstract complexity and eventually the abstraction breaks and you actually need to know some amount of linux, networking, security, or distributed system engineering to fix it.

The easiest way to not get bitten by this is to avoid the abstractions and keep it simple as long as possible. Most apps can probably do fine with a single beefy box and a local sqlite database - this can likely scale vertically indefinitely with moore's law and still probably have less downtime than if you relied on all the fancy cloud technology.
Aside from that, there's also the problem that a DMCA notice as defined in 17 U.S.C. §512 is a procedure for handling copyright infringement. Nintendo is apparently alleging a violation of 17 U.S.C. §1201, which defines a separate class of offense that is not the same thing as copyright infringement. So what Nintendo sent probably isn't a proper DMCA notice, but rather a cease-and-desist letter that pretends to be a DMCA notice or has been misinterpreted by the target and the press as being a DMCA notice because it mentions the DMCA (albeit a different part of the DMCA).
How many more years do you suppose we need to run on-prem before you can accept that we understand our needs? It's been 10+. We've been running on-prem for a lot longer than we've been running in AWS. Again, there's this sort of paternalistic suggestion that people can't possibly understand how to run on-prem. But we've always been on-prem. We've always maintained a SQL Server cluster. AWS is the new thing.

AWS vs. on-prem is always a tradeoff. You have to look at the costs and benefits for your particular situation to decide which is best. We decided to go with both, because AWS has benefits for our dynamic workloads and on-prem has savings for our static workloads.

The biggest advantage is an abstract one; it's usually a good idea to have some idea of different ways to solve a problem even if you're going to be mostly (or even exclusively) focused on one particular way. "Narrowness of experience leads to narrowness of imagination" and that kind of stuff.

For example years ago I started runit in a container to run multiple processes (multiple containers was a bit tricky for operational reasons) and some people were surprised: "oh wait, you can do that?" Who knows if my experience with jails contributed to this "idea" (if you can even call it that), but it probably didn't hurt.

> next to zero chance Intel (especially given the Arc catastrophe and foundry capabilities)

Arc is manufactured using TSMC N6.

Intel originally wanted to use Intel 4 but it wasn’t ready yet. Maybe the next batch of GPUs assuming Meteor Lake and their other CPUs don’t consume all the Intel 4 capacity.

Also Arc hardware-wise is fine for what it is and the process node it’s using - N6 isn’t a leading edge node to my knowledge. Drivers are unfortunately something that’s going to take time to fix up - there is no way around this.
The irony of one part of humanity: led mainly by People in the most prosperous country, measuring ever vanishing amounts of interference at the length of a proton to detect exploding stars, and they have to account for among other things the curvature of this planet to the millimetre.
