When shit hits the fan it's the PT gods that can grab their shit and hump it in the boonies who are going to survive, not some pencil neck weekend warriors with guns and ammo and a motorcycle.
I for one have been waiting a very long time for a comfortable headset I can do work from regardless of my physical orientation. Sitting, standing, on an airplane, at a desk, on a hammock -- hell, someday even while hiking or driving. I want a single device where I can safely and effectively operate, primarily for professional use.

I have purchased many VR headsets to this end but none have had any staying power. I think Apple has the capital, engineering experience, and aesthetic / practical sensibility to make it happen properly for productivity, so I am cautiously optimistic. I am glad they focused on productivity instead of gaming. I want a machine I can use, not a toy to play with.

Any take saying it is casual / hobby is missing the boat I think. It has the potential, if it delivers on being a usable productivity headset, to completely redefine our relationships with tech, from business to entertainment and everything in between. That has a massive financial upside that is largely future proof, and translates directly into the tech needed for effective neural interfacing (on the computational side). It could be approaching the "end game" for human-technology symbiosis -- at least for maintaining a semblance of humanity, which many of us will want to do indefinitely if given the choice.
Ergonomic considerations still don't mean you need to buy a dozen plus separate computers just to have all those forms.
Well, it does, in that most modern hardware devices communicate over PCIe via SQ/CQ pairs, and I'm pretty sure that include virtualization device interfaces.

A lot of people are coming to the conclusion that io_uring's userspace interface is fundamentally insecure. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I've read the spec (which is only a few pages). I could implement + security validate both sides in a day or two (and have done similar in the past).
It's hilarious how giving and requesting a "tips" is socially acceptable.

But if a company would change the name to anything else, there would be a huge revolt.
Ultimately, they are governments, businesses and individuals. All of these actors regularly face situations where they need (or want) to expend money now that they will have eventually but do not have now. The financial markets are primarily about making it as efficient as possible to do that. (There is arguably another side of the financial markets that is about helping people manage risk, though they are somewhat related.)

Most of the financial wizardry you read about in the linked article is related to that aim. It's not always obvious, because a lot of it is higher-order stuff: transactions between financial market participants where payouts are linked to other transactions (or aggregations of transactions) between financial market participants, etc. It can be hard to see the link to the participants I mentioned above. But a lot of it is a means to understanding, and spreading, the risks associated with financing those participants. It is a lot easier to lend people money to finance their wants and needs if you can (a) differentiate between people who will pay you back and people you won't; and (b) share the risk of not being paid back with others.
Wait, are you telling me that the UK actually has a halfway-decent solution to the orphan works problem!?

Surely there are companies that align with the values of the community. Off the top of my head; Companies that claim to value accessibility. Companies that value affordable pricing. Companies that also are reliant on building healthy communities.

Who are the big sponsors of reddit that you know of? Who would be easy to convince to come out in support and pause their ad spend for a bit?
Yeah, I should have said 'if God can find 10 honest men.' I'm not sure how omniscience or omnipotence really manifests in the Bible since God habitually delegates tasks to angels instead of just teleporting people into or out of harm's way, but then again abstractions don't make for gripping stories.
At normal doses (<200ug for lsd) the experience is much milder than what reading stuff on the internet makes you think. It will not make you see dragons, nor permanently alter your brain in any significant way, if at all. It does wear off after 12 hours although sometimes there’s an “afterglow” (a very very mild sensation of being high) that can persist for few days.

What is does is exactly what the article explains - it unlocks the inner child in you. You will be curious about everything, everyday objects will suddenly become interesting as if you saw them for the first time. Your senses might become connected, some people “see” music with their eyes closed for example. It will make your mind go places that it normally rarely or never visits and you’ll be able to think about stuff from angles you didn’t pay attention to before.

It is a very powerful and useful tool if used correctly.
Good observation that the noticing doesn’t get tested.

Would there be any benefit from knowing the notice rate though? After all, the intended outcome is increased sales by clicking.
Indeed, but then maybe it should have been more explicit.

Memory tagging as concept is quite old, so I would even expect that link to point into Burroughs Large Systems, Lisp, or other hardware of similar vintage.
“Came up with?” None of us invented Agile/Scrum/wtfe malfunction requires daily standup meetings. Management insists, management observes, management signs the paychecks, so … here’s your DSM.
Those sorts of articles have always appeared here. Maybe there's been a random up-fluctuation - I have no idea, but it's expected in any random sequence. If so, it will pass soon enough.

Annoying illegal cookie consent banner?
Wow, that is super interesting. It amazes me that it's not a universal American principle that we should, as a country, at least aim for a world where these information asymmetries don't exist. We should strive for zero classified documents; zero special access programs.

Of course, I need to think more deeply about this, because who's to say information asymmetries aren't essential (for some reason). But the perspective shared here is very interesting.

Thanks for sharing.
Too late to edit: The correct number is 21 instead of 17.

The 64% is still 64% because if N is big enough it almost doesn't depend if you consider something with a probability of 1/17 in 17 days or something with a probability of 1/21 in 21 days.
So you’re saying deletions are so wide scale they decided to undelete every comment in the past couple days? And this is the new policy?
> Even weirder, if we would have played this game repeatedly, the second urn is clearly preferable.

I don't think that's the case?

Edit: I get it now, under repetition the probability distribution of the second urn could be inferred, and the gambler could use this information to bet on the more frequent color. However, the Ellsberg paradox only says we prefer known distributions to unknown ones, and under repetition the distributions of both urns would be known. So it doesn't say people would prefer betting on the first urn in the repetition case.
No you have to manually enable the plugins you want and I'm sure they are including the list or APIs in their prompt.
Not just crime. It's a good way to tackle whistleblowers and investigative reporters. It's a good way to tackle peaceful protesters. It's even a good way to tackle undesirables and fugitives.

Superhuman police powers (which is what pervasive surveillance is), sound great when the cops are worried about retrieving your stolen car or bicycle. But they become nightmares quickly when the police are more concerned with crimes the public doesn't care about or think are crimes.

And the cops have been like that for decades. We should be downgrading their abilities, not upgrading them. I don't think it's completely out of the question that they only be allowed single-shot handguns where they must pull the brass with their own fingernails and reload before firing again. Honestly, there shouldn't be any cameras other than those on their bodies and in their cars used to collect evidence for trial. I'm on the fence on whether they should be allowed much electronic technology beyond that (and maybe radios).
Reddit’s fight with powerful users enters new phase as blackout continues
The battery is still a huge problem, this is just clouding the issue with something else. Batteries wear out and have a fraction of their lifetime in a few years and can be replaced for under $20

That was Larrabee whole idea, and AVX is what is left of it.
The measurement of value.
I use the Chrome and Brave browsers on Android. Both support dark mode just fine. And it's automatic for every website, the site itself doesn't need to support it.

Are you on iOS?
But people here are saying not all appear on the profile pages. I've checked mine and indeed there are a handful of undeleted stuff. My last purge was before the blackout and I'm sure it was completely clean as I had to do a couple more passes to catch all the sumbission/comments that for some reason weren't wiped (edited & deleted) on the first pass.

I also use old.reddit but I believe on the new.reddit you can limit a search to only a defined user comment. Maybe with some wildcards or regex one can get to them? Otherwise you'd need to know of a submission or a direct link to your comment.
Corded tools, my friend. Corded tools, a few good extension cords (and a pluggable reel), good hand tools, small/dumb tools with AA/AAA rechargeable batteries.

Very few exceptions to this rule for me, and I generally avoid anything with a Micro-USB charger like the plague if I can, as I can't help but see it becoming e-Waste in 3-5 years.
Sacrifice the first 13 years of your life to Google for 2M
I love it.
That said, I’d love to see an updated version with QE as that has a gigantic effect in recent times.

For simplicity it can be thought of as a proxy to interest rate adjustments but how it works is complex and can lead to strange side effects.
This. They were literally torturing Chelsea Manning at the time.
Very true, given the frequency of performative legislation that it meant to satiate the political appetites of constituents rather than effect real change. On the whole HN seems to do a good job of distinguishing serious from frivolous proposals, though.
Paul has many, many videos focused on just Swift, the language. I’d post links but I am on mobile. The “Swift In One Hour” video is good along with his few multi-hour series.

The really shocking (at the time!) part of that book is not just the level of destruction, but the fact that any small number of bombers or a rogue commander could have started the entire process off. It is an absolute miracle we survived the cold war. It's hard to imagine we would survive it twice.
It's the least I can do to help dang!

Mostly a formality IMO. Here's where it can get fairly political even though it's nearly a final (published) rule ... this vote was fairly heavily in-favor, only 20 against IIRC and even fewer abstentions. Some last-minute horse trading can definitely occur and bind it up. My personal opinion is that I think that's almost certain to pass at this point (given the nature of manufacturing in the EU versus say borders or food products) and I definitely would be sourcing screw and battery connector suppliers now if I designed phones.

You do realize you still have to write a lot of native code in cross platform apps, right? It's what all the most used apps do.

This idea that individually you can be more productive on a cross platform app has no basis in reality. You're still having to concern yourself with platform specific aspects, except now you're also throwing in another layer into the mix for your shared aspects. These shared aspects tend to also not be up to user expectation most of the time, so you're having to rewrite things that comes easy for native apps, to ensure consistency and accessibility.

Such moves makes sense for Facebook. Given who they hire, what they work on. Same for Microsoft, but not sure using them is a good example considering their app experiences are universally terrible. For a lot of other places though? There has been a grand total of zero proven demonstration of increased productivity or dramatic savings. You still have to hire android/ios/windows/mac/linux devs respectfully whenever you eventually want to expand to those platforms.
I don't know if I was using React Native "wrong" or what, but when I tried it out I found it to be a miserable experience. There's almost no usable components "built-in"...there seems to be an expectation that you cobble your UI together using one of a variety of different third-party components or component libraries, and every single one I tried was incomplete, buggy, poorly-maintained, poorly-documented...

Based on that trial: I'd much rather work on two sane codebases instead of one in React Native that's a maintenance disaster. As a bonus, since your apps will be native, they'll probably be faster, feel higher quality, integrate better with the platforms, etc.
Btw by definition, speed = distance / time.

I first learned about half a year ago the concept of adding work time to driving time in "Ivan's Car": https://www.deautovanivan.nl/eng.html

> How fast is your car?

> The effective speed is calculated on the basis of the price of the car (costs per kilometer) and income (net income). The amount of hours you have to work to drive your car (taxes, insurance, fuel, etcetera) is added to the average speed of a car driver in the Netherlands.
Or, how if you spend a ton of time living as a stoic, and focus everything on that next promotion you could have nearly 2M saved by your early 30s.
Always do the obvious dumb solution first!!
It's a bit like watching snail courting rituals on Discovery: you're watching something sloppy, between practically brainless entities, and really slow. And you know that one of the sides will be eventually fucked, perhaps both.

But the inner zoologist of you says "keep watching it".
Move to California. Order mushrooms from literally thousands of local websites and surprisingly reputable proprietors.
The "bit" is Transubstantiation, a key Miracle of the Catholic faith. Catholics believe that the Eucharist blessing, a ritual often performed in Churches on a Sunday, literally transforms the bread and wine - they aren't just symbols, they literally are now Christ's Flesh and Christ's Blood. Now, you may observe that, just as "An Oak Tree" looks, and in every way seems exactly like a glass of water, the bread and wine still looks and in every way seems exactly like bread and wine, but Catholicism teaches that nevertheless they are the Body and Blood of Jesus.

(Roman) Catholics who care will be told this is because all observable properties are just incidental whereas the substantial nature changed, just imperceptibly.

Now, the exact details will vary outside Roman Catholicism, but you should generally expect that either they're deliberately vague (Eastern Orthodox and Anglican traditions) or they have the same sort of dubious philosophical out, and that's what this artwork is about.

So, it's not really necessary to the "bit" that you insist it's actually An Oak Tree at customs. Catholicism works around this question (obviously it's not OK to import thousand year old flesh or blood without a very difference license from bread and wine) because the bread and wine are just bread and wine up until the ritual is performed, you could do the same by just deciding a different glass of water on a shelf is "An Oak Tree" to skip the customs check.
I've pondered in the past about paid "documentation". You have basic opencv docs but charge for the in depth docs. Really it's sorta a thing when people buy books from SMEs on an open source project.
> They have actively thwarted attempts by the likes of Facebook and Google to track me.

Why would you want to outsource enforcement of individual rights (to privacy) to private companies?

Privacy should be enforced by the government (like it is in the EU), not by buying hardware from companies who sell stands for 1000 dollars.
I'd start by using Home Manager which is a way to use nix packages in a sensible manner on any distro.

The arrogance and oblivion.

Kevin rose said basically - this is revolt #5 for us, this too shall pass.
That's almost word for word what Spez is saying, this is not a good look. I think if Aaron Schwartz were on the board at Reddit, he'd likely say this exactly what reddit is NOT supposed to be. Imagine an alternate universe where Aaron lives, and he, not Steve runs reddit. I'm betting it would actually be profitable by now.
You don't need land to sustain yourself. Japan has very little land, and is very wealthy.

> the employer has all the leverage.

You don't need land to start your own business. Besides, if the employer had all the leverage, all the employees in the country would be working at minimum wage.
> If you're a mod, and get threatened, ban the user.

threats always come after the ban and is trivial to create a new account and continue the threats. the complaints about mod harrassment are as old as reddit but spez always promissed solutions and never delivered. heck, my sub had its mod discussion archive leaked - on reddit!, we reported it to admins repatedly and they did a big nothing.

one of my mod colleagues got doxxed and had a banned user ringing at his very physical door demanding "to discuss the issue", how would you feel about it ?

edit: and this is a boring country sub, I can't even imagine what modding a political sub is like.
Because when problems come up you need an iOS and Android developer to sort them for you.
Research seems to prove that psychedelics can be a tool for opening up the so called critical periods. Critical periods are, in my understanding, the highly receptive periods of learning - brain wiring and rewiring.
Childhood is abundant in these periods, but they open up in adulthood naturally after trauma, e.g. stroke as high plasticity periods, which go away quickly and possibly are too short.
Totally subjective take: future result might be able to explain /why/ psychedelics have profound effect. Interestingly the life-changing traumatic experiences have similar effect, creating these critical periods - body responds to extreme conditions with risky high brain plasticity periods.
I think spez has special protection against being tagged.
Do you have a link to an example iOS app built in Tamagui to check out?
It was March 2006 for me, and I haven’t worked in an office since. What a great feeling.
I’m not sure how that’s relevant to my question. He was drunk and being an idiot, that wasn’t a major management decision like disallowing deletion of comments which affects the entire platform.

That would be unprecedented in the history of social media to only allow permanent comments. Im also very skeptical comment deletion is happening at such a scale to be meaningful vs the billion new comments they get a year.

This all smacks of low quality speculation thats mostly a consequence of the current outrage cycle of the week.
I guess it's been almost 9 years since This War Of Mine.

What's the difference between $/mo on avg and recurring revenue? Is the former turnover?
Ask HN: What do you put in a “in case of death” file?
I recall seeing a guide on what to put in a text file so that surviving family have an easier time dealing with all of your loose ends, e.g., digital accounts, safe deposit boxes, utilities, etc. Do any of you have thoughts on what to put in a file like this? Here is a rough list of things:

- Will
- Living trust
- Power of attorney
- Life insurance policy
- Birth certificate
- Marriage license
- Bank and credit card accounts
- Loan documents
- Automobile titles
- Property deeds
- Copies of keys to automobiles, safe deposit boxes, etc.
- Account and device passwords

Show HN: Monitor ChatGPT Hallucinations – With ChatGPT
Got tired of manually parsing all my chatGPT logs. So I built a real-time hallucination detector for my logs in production. Now instead of manually trying to figure out which, of my hundreds of logs, were bad responses (invented new facts, refused to answer, etc.) I can just get chatGPT to flag them for me.

How does it work?
Bettershot aims to detect 3 things:

Was the question relevant to the data (i.e. filter out questions like "how's the weather?" if the chatbot's purpose was to answer questions on the history of jeans)

If relevant then,

Did the model response invent new information when answering the question (i.e. information that was not in the prompt passed in)
Did the model refuse to answer the question (e.g. "Sorry as an AI language model...")

We do this by using chatgpt (currently gpt-3.5-turbo-16k) to evaluate each prompt-response pair 5 times, sampling the most frequent result (e.g. if it evaluated it to 'True' 4 times out of 5, then it's probably a good response).

> Why did reddit choose to charge app developers (causing financial uncertainty) for API requests instead of charging the end-users?

My theory is because they want to kill off third party access.
My UK equivalent (NI number), and usual things like DoB, Address etc leaked a couple of weeks ago thanks to my company outsourcing to layers of companies who seem to have transferred PI by sending to pastebin or something. (Same moveit thing)

My company just cries “it’s not our fault” when it clearly is. The larger problem here is that this bit of unchangale data can be used not just to open lines of credit but do things like take student loans out.

Those loans are then automatically deducted from your salary and they won’t stop doing that even after you flag it. a private company can steal money from you after they cock up.
I hope more and more people will hear about decentralisation and how important it is.

a friend who moved from the city to the country shared with me that folks with knowhow are more valuable in the country where there's more burden finding repair folks and coordinating logistics out in sparsely populated rural regions. In that context these skills buy you independence and some form of popularity I've heard.

Reminds me of some Smarter Every Day videos where he covers farm life and the varied skill sets that benefit people in that domain.
