It’s pretty easy, but I find the config file format rather confusing. In the classic Unix style, you’re learning yet another little language, so there’s a learning curve. Once you learn it, it’s fairly powerful and expressive, but the docs aren’t very clear.
LinkedIn's software blunder: disassociates accounts
This is worse than just restricting the account.

I have logged in to LinkedIn in February, using only my Gmail email address - LinkedIn doesn't ask for a password.

I grew my account nicely, and have a few connections there that are important. I wanted to log in again 2 months later, using again my Gmail email. Wham! LinkedIn asks for my name etc. and I realize this is the process to create a new profile!

In Gmail I can still under "Apps with access to your account" the date from February when I logged in to LinkedIn for the first time. But now I have a new profile using the same login from February. Argh!

I amazes me that a company as big as LinkedIn makes such blunders! Are monkeys writing their code?

I do not even know how to proceed at this stage, since it is not like LinkedIn is restricting my account when I try to log in. I do not even have a handle to log in.

If a LinkedIn rep is reading this, pop me an email; otherwise I have no idea how to get their attention.
Looks like that ETF is just noise[0]. I've never followed Cramer, but this pretty much fits the narrative that he's just saying random things. If he's throwing around random opinions about given stock, then it's not difficult to cherry pick that one case when he was wrong at a right time.

With respect to the metaverse being boring... I agree. Most VR experiences are lacking. This is a bit of a chicken and egg situation (in my opinion only: I know how bearish HN is on anything VR). There aren't enough users to get enough investment in creating experiences, and not enough experiences to really get the users... There's the odd exception, like Alyx, but creating a whole metaverse is a much bigger challenge.

User creation is one option but you identify the limitations of this.

One thing that might change the situation is AI creation. Considering generative models can already create 3d models, creating VR worlds should be soon possible. Being able to produce large amounts of VR content quite easily could make something like a metaverse suddenly feasible.
I've paid for things with Bitcoin before. Unless by "essentially" you mean to say that those types of transactions don't make up a significant network volume.
Ask HN: Why is Windows 10 copying files twice?
On Windows 7 when you did some file operation it did it once and it was done. But on 10 f.ex. WinRAR does it's progress bar and then there is this horribly slow progress bar from Explorer that takes more time than the actual unzipping.

What is going on?
This line of argument seems to be common to other responders telling me my concerns are "fringy" insofar as they invoke concerns about governments.

My concerns aren't exclusive to governments or corporations. The degree of co-mingingling of personnel and regulatory capture at this point makes the difference moot. Whoever has the data on every purchase you made since 2012 can silence you, threaten you, blackmail you, or force you out of a public or private position, if there's any difference between those things now. It doesn't matter if you're innocent or the law is on your side; all that matters is perception. Someone who wants you in can hide anything you did; someone who wants you out can find the smallest detail that you accidentally allowed to be recorded, and amplify it. It really makes no difference whether it's a government agency, or a corporation. Splitting hairs on that or saying I'm necessarily paranoid because my concern runs more toward government abuse is an argument about nothing more than the superficial, speculative scenario. The data is the data, and anyone who has it has power. Power is power, and it's only realized when you can wield it over people. Handing anyone your full purchasing history is giving them the power to subjugate you.
That makes no sense in this case since you have to pay for MAX anyway.

Lamps use a specific voltage and amperage useful for lighting, not charging cars. You’d have to completely overhaul electricity to lamps, while also having a transformer for the lights, and at that point you might as well do something purpose built. Lamps are also not built next to each spot you’d park a car.
>Same as turning to gpt4 to sort a small list of words.

Perhaps 4 is better, but my experience sorting and making list with its immediate ancestor has been profoundly counterproductive.
> There's a reason languages like C# or Go don't have them,

Go has a quasi macro system though (go generate)

I like the macro systems in Crystal and Haxe (reifed macros)

https://haxe.org/manual/macro-reification-expression.html

I think C would have benefited from such system at the AST level instead of text substitution.

> If you think solar cells operate via temperature differential, I'm just going to go ahead and end this conversation

Why don't you instead apply

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity

and assume that perhaps the person you're replying to is saying something else like for example that since the sun is providing energy this is not a closed system (and then provided two distinct examples: sun/shade temperature differential and also photoelectric cells).

Perhaps you're right and the person really said something dumb, but perhaps they didn't.

By applying the principle of charity you'll not only avoid being unnecessarily rude towards people but also open avenues for better communication and possibly even learn something

Is there a source that Apple pays Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) to get access to their catalog so WBD’s media shows up in searches in Apple’s TV app?

It makes very little sense to me. Surely WBD wants people to easily find WBD content to watch, and easily be able to pay them to watch it.

I know Netflix has been a holdout (the only one), and it is quite a stupid long term decision in my opinion, but I would not have thought Apple pays WBD, Paramount, Comcast, Disney, Starz, etc to be able to list their purchase-able media in Apple’s TV app.
How is this different to cash?

Of course there's no difference in regard to the risk of getting physically lost.

I was referring risk of carrying a single value store (independent of type).

I also have Apple pay on my phone and watch.

Not sure how that's less cognitive overhead than a physical wallet, but as you like.

From a business point of view, cash-only makes zero sense. Why would a business turn away people who want to give them money?

Margins are thin. Apparently the overhead is significant for some merchants. Such that in my part of the planet, it's not uncommon for street merchants (and small shops) to only take card payments above a certain minimum amount. Oh, and some work under the table. Cash lets them do that.

Meanwhile, the card-only places turn away customers all the time.

If you're from a country where any of these are legitimate concerns for you, it doesn't mean cashless is bad - it means the systems are bad.

Mmm - from first principles, and given that one system is orders of magnitude more complex (and subject to far many more points of failure) than the other - is may very well be an intrinsic liability of that system.

I think Graeber used to say that if you tell most adults that "Here's your power. I dare you to be responsible with it" they will.

(The notable exception are people who specifically seek power. Somehow they seem to be the least responsible with it.)
Actually, a separate comment reminded me about excommunication statistics within the LDS.

Divorced members of my local LDS church usually left the church soon after.

So you would likely end up with some level of bias based on whether the questions asked of past religious affiliation. (ie: does it sufficiently include former members)

For example, Pew Research's questions do not ask about past affiliation.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220128113620/https://www.relig...

Here is a very old article based on data from 1999 which shows the LDS' divorce statistics are not very different from other Christian denominations. It includes a list of citations at the bottom of the page.

Hopefully this a bit more constructive than the previous thread.

So I was ordering food from Door dash the other day. Being a blind person, I rely on a website to be coded well enough to present all of its content to me. So I'm using the down arrow, using NVDA, or Caps lock + Right Arrow on Voiceover for Mac, going through the items. And I noticed that some items were surely being skipped. And sure enough, when I went back and navigated with the Tab key, there they were, all the other drinks that McDonald's offers. I mean, it's better than on the iPhone, where DoorDash is so awful that it sucks Kaiju dung, but goodness I wish UX folks would just leave stuff alone, or shoot just ask people "Hey, is this what you want?" or "How can we actually improve this thing?" or "Hey, would this break things for you?" I think the only reason why it works so well on Android is because no one has messed with it yet. No, don't do it, please. I mean, Door dash is far from the only mess I've come across in my like 15 years using tech as a blind person, But some services, like InstaCart, Door dash, Uber, stuff like that, are a bit more important to be accessible than someone's cat picture gallery. I mean, I wouldn't mind awesome descriptions of cats either, don't get me wrong. And honestly, I don't know if the fault is with Voiceover and its rather bad web support, or NVDA, but I'm pretty sure it's Door dash. And it didn't used to do this. It used to be fine on web browsers on a computer. And now I gotta pull out the Android phone when I want o order food.
But we're not talking about "using the financial system to target people."

We're talking about whether it's worthwhile to say something like "hey, maybe we will not allow legal markets for some things (say, murder) in our society" on top of "maybe we will ban make some activities crimes (say, murder) themselves."

Do you believe markets for murder should be legal?

If you wanted to use your words to explain why you think that, that might be more constructive. I could well respond "yes, it does work" but that wouldn't be useful. I know you're an expert in the space and might appreciate learning from you, but this is not that.
As a gamedev who is running his own (small, indie) studio.. That "cost of setting up and running an MMO gamedev studio for 12 months" is absurdly low; it's at least an order of magnitude off and possibly two depending on how big a studio we're talking about.

Which means that the metaverse funding of $240 billion/year would actually only fund a mere 24,000 reasonably-sized MMO game studios per year.
If they're using a Mac that doesn't allow changing the screen lock duration, that Mac likely has MDM software installed that controls which apps they can run. I don't know if Caffeine is on that list.
Yep, trying out a self hosted erpnext. It’s quite smooth and reliable especially when you compare it with Odoo. The cost for their cloud options is also way more economic to Odoo. Want to try out their integration with woo commerce.
All tools are indifferent to truth. There's no such solution as "make tools that are inclined to truth", it would be even worse because everyone has their own definition of truth when they need it. What we as a humanity need is a tool to keep tabs on trust. You doctor the photo once - all your further photos are considered doctored from now on.
I think vehicles should have replaceable packs for service, but not beyond that without a really strong argument. These batteries degrade over a few years to about 80% and just sort of stay there for a long time. So just making them big enough to allow them to remain useful for 10-20 years seems more than good enough.
The justification I've heard here is that one person's feedback shouldn't trump the research and feedback of dozens of users over many months. Seems reasonable but feels like there's a blind spot here too imo.
You say this as if shorts represent some systemic shift in attention spans or even anything more than a binning of the existing short-long distribution. But is there evidence for it? Has the distribution of video lengths ever been anything other than a possion random variable?
Password Isn’t Dying
Maybe someone here can help me. There was a GDC presentation in the late nineties or maybe 2000 or so. The speaker was from EA maybe, having worked a lord of the rings game maybe?

His whole pitch, which came with movies, was if someone did Mario in the style of lord of the rings. There was a scene where luigi dies and Mario weeps. Bowser makes a great speech before his assembled armies which finishes with “and KILL THE PRINCESS!”

Can’t remember who or when. Did I just hallucinate the whole thing? Anyone got a link?

I guess from Nvidia’s perspective a lot of those thing don’t really matter as long as the people making/using “AI” need hardware. As long as Nvidia is a semi-monopoly it’s probably one of the safest bets in that way

Seems really handy, however I see no privacy policy. So, the idea that your product can capture all the ideas that people enter and then rank them AND sell that data.

The 'exploding' demand for giant heat pumps
I haven't played a ton of titles, only own a Quest 1, but I found Superhot and Beat Saber to be distinctly unique and more enjoyable than non-VR counterparts in some ways.

On the other hand, I tried out some VR titles that just weren't very fun.

I think this is an issue of game design. Once the "wow" factor gets old, games still need to hold their own
sounds like startups.
The Yaris GR is not a hot version of the Yaris. It's designed as a homologation special with a new chasis (there's no regular 3 door Yaris) and engine. Calling it a hot yaris is a bit like calling the Renault 5 Turbo a hot Renault 5.

The Corolla is closer to a hot Corolla as it uses the same chasis.

isn't that the same in any expression-oriented language ?

E.g. in ruby this could be

if m = /(\d+)/.match('test 123') then puts m[1] end # perl-less

Perl's regexes do more things perhaps, but this is a relatively common thing, I believe.
What a ridiculous statement. They both needed each other, it was a mutually supporting effort. However in saying that, Hillary could have theoretically made it to the summit without Norgay (who would have died of asphyxiation if he tried the same).

One thing I can never get over is the fact that despite all their claims of going all in, Meta never seemed to actually be invested in the Metaverse themselves.

If they really believed in it, the first priority of the company would have been to make it so that every non hardware unit of their physical offices was shut down and people were told to go work from the metaverse within the spaces of their homes, beach houses, coffee shops or wherever they physically were. Every meeting would have been held in the metaverse. Every all-hands, in the metaverse. Every employee in charge of people would have been working with the product and engineering to create experiences for the team to bond and share time in within the Metaverse. Meta should have lived and breathed as a company within the metaverse. Pre layoffs that would have been more than 86,000 concurrent users who would have a daily direct impact on the product.

Instead, Mark wanted people to come back to the office.

The Metaverse by Meta died when their people touted it as the future of work and play but then did absolutely nothing to use it that way themselves.
I'm curious. Is this a criticism of their support. Real time chat in general or just specifically discord?
On Windows, a VB script (so runnable with the default script runner) that toggles NumLock every so often is the classic.

WinRar extracts all files into some system directory by default (I'm not sure is it possible to change), no matter of Windows version. If you have 10Gb free on system drive and you want to unpack 11Gb file you just can not do this. If you unpack the file somewhere into C:\ then second operation will be instant, otherwise it is going to be moved to other drive.
> I personally helped grow Facebook’s UXR team from a dozen to over 100, then did the same for Airbnb in the same amount of time it took Facebook/Meta to go from 100 to over 1000 researchers.

What the? I had no idea it was so colossal. I didn't even know UX "research" was a thing, as in, someone made their career out of it.

No wonder it takes 100 engineers to write a website, if it takes 100 researchers to dream up some coconuts for people lacking thumbs. Last I checked, humans haven't changed in centuries. The gestalt is all you need to "research" and understand the human perception, imho. Ok maybe in the field of VR, some research need to be made, but this seems like crazy amounts of people.
It doesn't change your conclusion, but VRChat's Steam numbers are only about 40-50% of the entire population, however 50-60K peak per day is of course not massive, unless you are talking VR.

Even during the bussiest day of the year, new years, it is only close to around 100K total.

It's a little old-fashioned now, but quotation marks can also be used when you're quoting another language, especially a word you don't expect readers to understand. Many tourists in Istanbul visit a "hamam", or Turkish bath.

Nice, but it is not just 22x faster with the patterned_register_blocked_simd, it is also 6x less precise (from 1% FPR to ~6% FPR)
