I'm somehow reminded of corporate McDonald's grift of contractually forcing Taylor ice cream machines on franchisees.

EDIT: cbfrench below correctly points out that that price is per case...the devil was hiding in the details and I stand corrected.

Despite all the hate Google and infinite scroll gets, it seems to be good decision doesn't it?

You rarely go to even the second page, I'm almost always improving/changing the query instead of going to next pages, so even in those edge cases where I have to go to next pages, then auto loading next results when I'm at the bottom of the page seems viable solution

Infinite scroll is annoying because e.g you cannot link to thing

but that's not the case with Google - you do not link Google results to people, you send them the result itself - desired website.
On mobile it might be. On Desktop it (1) devalues the scrollbar, since you can no longer use its size in proportion to its container to judge how large the page is compared with your view of it, and (2) adds jank while the next set of results is loaded (the pause while loading feels random rather than an expected event in response to your changing page).

The other thing that's annoying me is the overriding of cursor keys, making each scrolling step much larger than it would normally be. Yes, it might be more logical for a keypress to step to the next result, but that's not how the cursor keys are expected to behave in the browser, so it's jarring.
Tell that to the people who live in Española, NM; the official name of the city includes the ñ. Or Hawaiʻi, although for the latter "Hawaii" is at least correct from an official government placename perspective.
The claim here is not that "all of mathematics is set theory", just that sets are sufficient to describe everything else. I don't know if that's correct, but it's certainly a more defensible claim.
I went to the office 2 times last year and that was my own decision (wanted to see some people in real life). Sometimes (2-3 times a year) they have these big-ish events, for which they would like you to be there with all expenses paid, but it's still not mandatory. It really is home office, with the option of going to the office if you want it. Best of both worlds really. Please do apply if that's your only worry! I can promise you a completely fair interview with zero mind-trick or useless algorithm questions :)

Your advice on improvements to the job ads, I take with me with pleasure. I'll talk to the HR. That ad is supposed to say front-end developer for front-end components! Well.
I use rebase to roll up all my commits before submitting a PR.

Don't see what the big deal is.

You might not, I do, I do a lot, I even go further. I personally don't like the change at all

Oh, now it makes sense :)) Thanks!
Finding theorems and proofs is not intellectual at all, it is like riding a bike. You are probably not going to prove anything new and interesting by approaching it from an intellectual angle. You CAN turn it into an intellectual exercise, and at some point it is very beneficial to do so, for meta-mathematical insights. Just like it is beneficial to learn the physics and mechanics of cycling, if you want to construct bikes. It's also very helpful when you are wondering about the technical veracity of your theorems and proofs. It's not that helpful if you want to FIND those theorems and proofs in the first place. Starting out with a fixed rule system also has the danger of limiting your imagination about what's possible, given that no fixed rule system is ever going to be enough.
Disco Elysium, which I haven't gotten around to playing yet so I have no personal opinion, is the only contender I can think of.

The only other game I can think of with that level of narrative craft is the Marathon series, which isn't an RPG, but rather an FPS.

I'm kind of surprised Marathon 4 hasn't been kickstarted yet. There is definitely a whole lot of money on the table there, as the System Shock remake proves.

Time for a schism in the Church, where both sides agree on every matter of doctrine and practice, except that one side takes this Cansacastran view on the eucharist and the other follows the Dogma of St Petersburg, also detailed in the article:

Almost all dating apps are owned by the same company and all they care about is extracting money from users. If you want to try online dating, just use a free app without monetization besides ads.
Thank you eimrine, very cool!
But is that literally always the case? Most of the time I also like learning new things, even things that change my perspective entirely. But that is when I am in the mood to actually engage with knowledge. There are other times when I'm much more annoyed by new knowledge going against what I already know. Let's say I'm doing my taxes, and my tax program has a popup "here are 804 changes to the tax code from last year", I will not be happy about having to learn that.

Maybe this difference is caused by the perceived usefulness of new information. If there is potential for my new perspective to greatly help me, it might be worth exploring more than if I can't see any way for it to be productive.
You may have had an easier high-school experience than I did. I had a commute of 30-45 minutes, I had long periods where I wasn't allowed to use the bathroom (and even when I could, the time in betweeen was short), my belongings were often messed with (people messed with the locker locks), and mucg higher academic expectations than I've seen in any workplace.
I might be feeling particularly cynical but I don’t get the feeling these were based off any study.

Anyway, it works ok for most of the characters but it’s quite jarring for the Ki because it looks like the K descends into the i’s cell (though it doesn’t).
I'm familiar with the connotations of the term "Orient," but that was kind of the point of using it in this instance -- I think having Maoist struggle sessions be the first thing that comes to mind is the same kind of thinking about how something is exotic and foreign when it isn't. Maybe you would have gotten my point better if I put the term in scare quotes. I think the attacks on me as "not a decent member of society" are just kind of personal attacks that aren't very germane to the discussion.

I think the whole charge of "whataboutism" is pretty bankrupt for reasons I think this article pretty accurately sums up: https://theoutline.com/post/8610/united-states-russia-whatab...

> Try to imagine the following world: the Chinese Communist Party accuses the U.S. of crimes against humanity in the Middle East, and Washington does not turn around and say something like, “What are you talking about! You have one million people in re-education camps in the Xinjiang Province!” In this imaginary world, I guess, US officials would respect the fact that China is only talking about the Middle East right now, and out of politeness refuse to talk about anything else. To do so would be crude whataboutism.

> Can you imagine that happening? Of course not. English-language commentators would contest the right of Xi Jinping to set the terms of the debate, and they’d use the opportunity to draw attention to human rights violations in China, which would be a good thing. Because, I think, it’s good when we expose and condemn any crimes against humanity, no matter the motivations for the revelation.

> Let’s try an arena much smaller than the geopolitical. What if a man comes home, and says to his wife:

> “Susan, you didn’t take out the trash!” he says.

> “Brad, you have never taken out the trash once in your life,” she replies.

> Would it be fair for him to turn, smugly clutching a copy of The Economist, and say, “Susan, this is not about me. I can’t believe you are doing whataboutism”?
I believe your recollection to be accurate.

The lead designer (Chris Avellone), who I think was the primary author of this document, is often playful and energetic/hyperbolic with his language, yet is extremely focused and professional in his approach to the actual game design. (I.e., this exact type of disconnect between the energy/tone of this document and the energy/tone of the game is consistent with what I know of him. The self depreciation, noted in the comment below by ricardobayes, is also on brand for him.)

Source: I've worked with Chris very directly on three games and indirectly on several others. We've talked about this document in passing before (though I didn't know him until a few years later).

Interesting. I think the easiest way would to have each row on its own shift registers. It'd be trivial but if each pixel was on LED you could only slant at 45° intervals, which would be annoying.

Maybe make each pixel 2LED×1LED (vertical).

This would be the equivalent of shifting it by adding an offset to the characterset bitmap that depends on the position vertically in glyph.
CICO is what matters for weight. But CICO is obviously not entirely under conscious control, and there are a ton of factors that change it.

One of the easiest ways to increase basal metabolic rate is to be colder. But it's not that much easier than being hungry. It's so easy to "cheat" and put on a sweater, or turn the HVAC to a higher temperature. Just as it's easy to serve a slightly larger portion, or have a snack.
Ironically when rigorous proofs were invented by the greeks, Euclids "proof by picture" was no less rigorous than modern formal logic.
If Japan Can, Why Can't We? (1980)
Youtube description:

> On June 24, 1980, Americans widely viewed a NBC documentary called “If Japan Can… Why Can’t We.” The program, part of NBC’s White Paper series, prominently featured Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Produced by Clare Crawford-Mason and narrated by Lloyd Dobyns.

> This compelling documentary, about the ever-increasing industrial competition between the United States and Japan, introduced Dr. Deming to Americans. For the first time, they learned of the then 80-year old American who was widely credited with the Japanese industrial resurgence after WWII.

> Viewers were astounded to learn that it was this American, Dr. Deming, who went to Japan in 1950 and began teaching his philosophy to their leadership. They listened and learned as he taught them about quality and productivity. When the program aired, the most coveted industrial award in Japan was The Deming Prize. Named in honor of Dr. Deming, the Deming Prize is still awarded, and highly esteemed, today.

> Near the close of the program, Lloyd Dobyns asks Dr. Deming, “Would the same methods work in the United States…? Deming’s reply was the catalyst for relentless requests for Deming to help American businesses. Soon the icons of American industry, such as Ford, General Motors, Dow Chemical Company, Xerox and Hughes Aircraft were asking for his help.
In the follow ups they are simply asked to recount and give their confidence of recounting. It’s only the original interview they are told to try to remember details even if they can’t.

The premise of the study is that the first interview is used to plant the memories. The follow up interviews are to see if they stick. They specifically aren’t trying to intervene in those interviews.
Reddit probably should try to automate most of the moderation process. Leaving only the fan parts to humans.

Like tweaking the moderation prompts, allowing to feel empowered. While the presence of an human moderator is there just to add some spice.

And then have an easy autopilot switch, and tech to nudge moderators to comply with the overall edifice.
A lot of new ideas are remixes but plenty aren't. They involve a novel creation. Think about something as simple as the wheel. Stone age ChatGPT probably couldn't come up with that because nobody had talked about it before and it doesn't do well at thinking of totally new things.
A power hungry mods [sic] melodramatic resignation
Your comments and your experience are one of the reasons we do not use multiple listing services. The other reason is that they are very inefficient and time consuming. The methods and operations originated over one hundred years ago. I have written a column [1]that better explains how agents work. It is a generalization as not all agents work like this. The real estate organizations are trade organizations. Their members are agents. They protect the folks that are paying good money to be members.

Pretty illuminating that the origin story of the technique is it eliciting what was later revealed as a false confession that sentenced an innocent man to life in prison.

Like the Verge is any different. Their editors/moderators are just as ban happy and profit driven as top reddit mods.
Loftus has also been involved with the cases of [Robert Durst, Ghislaine Maxwell, Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Sandusky,] Ted Bundy, O.J. Simpson, Rodney King, Oliver North, Martha Stewart, Lewis Libby, Michael Jackson, the Menéndez brothers and the Oklahoma City bombers.

She did some CIA consulting, too.
I am not saying that any study is or is not convincing. I am literally just asking: how could you define a test for this? I am not stating that any individual study is good or bad or anything in between. I want to know: if I design a study, how do I design it in a way that makes it a good study in regards to this question?
For one thing, that’s the case price, not the price per bottle. And that’s not really a sound analogy, as Cribari isn’t the only sacramental vintner, nor is Ziegler’s the only supplier of said wine. And there are general canonical provisions (varying by diocese, of course) for using wine that isn’t approved as sacramental; it just saves a few headaches (and, obviously, concerns about validity) to go ahead and procure the sacramental stuff, especially when it’s not exorbitantly expensive per case.

Here’s a longer, more punctilious discussion of the variety of wines that may qualify for sacramental use in the Roman Catholic Church: https://wdtprs.com/2013/04/quaeritur-is-sherry-valid-matter-...
Show HN: I built an AI language partner to help you master speaking
Hey Hacker News,

I’m Jay, a 26 year old Irish guy, and I’ve spent the last 2-3 months working full time on my AI language partner, Langchats.

I love languages (or at least the idea of speaking lots of languages). I also LOVE building, and making software applications has become a big part of my life.

I’ve combined two of my passions into an application. Langchats. An AI language partner, and my goal is to make it sufficiently good that it can replace a traditional language partner, and maybe even a teacher in the future. It’s early days yet for AI, but I have high hopes.

Over the last 3 months I’ve built out most of the core features:

- 30+ languages on offer
- Translations
- Corrections
- Voice responses
- Suggestions
- Free chat (about anything) or Role play scenarios
- And much more

I’m now at the point where I think I’ve got 70-80% of the main features built out. I’m happy enough with the UI too. However, I know there are plenty of improvements to make.

The next goal is Marketing. However, it’s not easy to promote your product when places like reddit and other forums don’t like self promotion. Has anybody got any tips on how to reach more people? I might test out paid some paid Ads. I also run a youtube channel called Linguajay which is mainly language content and this is how I’ve got some initial customers.

I’m also going to be doing a language series on Youtube / Twitter starting next week where I try to learn Dutch over the course of a month to a really basic conversation level ONLY using my application Langchats. In the hope that I can go viral and get on the radar of indiemakers such as Danny Postma and Pieter Levels, both Dutch. I’ll be a power user of my own app. In the process I’ll know exactly what additional features need to be built / what improvement need to be made.

Quick side note on Langchats (before someone comments): The product is free to use for the first 7 days. You can cancel anytime before the 7 days are up and you pay nothing. Yes I know this is a little friction but everything is handled via Stripe so payments are fully secure. I’m a solo developer an my goal is to be able to make a living of this product. It costs me to run it so I’m not in a position to offer a totally free plan at the moment.

You can follow my progress using the links below:

Langchats: https://www.langchats.com

Linguajay Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@linguajay

Twitter: https://twitter.com/jay_pinion

If you’ve got any ideas or suggestions on how I can improve the product then give me a shout.

Thanks everyone!

Have a great day.

Jay

It’s that last step I’ve never understood. I get that some guy in Iceland has excess power generation and can use that to mine bitcoin. I can then buy those bitcoins from him. However, I’ve never heard an explanation for how I then recover the energy from the bitcoin?

The closest I’ve heard is that I could use the bitcoins to buy electricity from someone else, but I could have just paid that guy in the first first place and cut out the guy in Iceland. Also, it feels like we now have two power plants involved in charging my laptop, which feels like a lot of overhead.

I’ve heard this explanation enough that there must be something obvious that I’m missing.
Can you elaborate on those incentives please
reddit never cared much about performance, they blame it on IO but they chose to use cassandra, they used it as a key value store, then they put python on top of it, with the result that most pages would take seconds to generate and the website would go down almost every day.

With the "new" reddit they replaced most of the frontend with javascript and it really shows. That's not to say I like sites that use too much javascript but python is slow enough just parsing and filling html templates, seemingly.
In Slavic languages and in German, the 'c' is (almost?) always the 'ts' sound. That makes it as useful as the 'x', although that's also one we could do without.

The 'c' could also be considered useful exactly because it has the unique property of changing its sound depending on the surroundings. In Dutch, for example, the word for politician is "politicus" where the 'c' had a k sound, but the plural is "politici", where the 'c' has an 's' sound. It would be a lot less clean if we had to swap 'k' and 's'. Maybe we should only use the 'c' for words where that property matters.

I hope you all remember the various "language reform" essays that get progressively less readable as various redundant letters are dropped or replaced.

Although you could also argue we should add some. The 'e' can be pronounced in several different ways, and not being able to tell the difference can occasionally lead to confusion. In Dutch, for example, the words for "a" and "one" are the same: "een", but pronounced differently.
Startups at their best are worker cooperatives. Not everyone has an equal share or say in the company, but with each person having a meaningful amount of stock options you can look at it that way. It's not clear exactly what would be the best distribution of ownership but definitely the less stock held by people not working at the firm the better if one is trying to get out of the exploited and exploiter mentality. How big can this scale? Would like to read a good study on this.
Clickbait headline. This is not a research study - just a quote that pilots look old immediately after flying and experiencing high g-forces.

That just sounds like bad research. In general if you know their angle that clearly then they’ve failed at how to do a research study of this type — obnoxious or not. It sounds like they don’t know how to do this type of research.
I personally like this video because it gives us a glimpse into the past, When Japan was considered the eminent threat to the American hegemony, and what lessons were to be learnt from it. Of course, as we now know, life turned out to be different.

I wonder if a Chinese version of such a video would be made today.

Dr Deming is also an interesting character, his focus on efficiency gives us an interesting insight into the production processes.
