Human impact on the environment = lifestyle * population. Just how gigantic do you think the improvements in the 'lifestyle' term are going to be, that you think we can ignore the other term? ...how big have the improvements been so far?

If we dramatically change our lifestyles and industry for the sake of the environment, we would still, at current population numbers, have a huge, negative impact on the environment. Especially once more countries join the developed world.

It's a fantasy to think we can sprinkle some solar and sustainable farming on our societies, and the environment will be just fine as the human population triples.

> we want express delivery just in case we stop caring about what we are buying in a couple of days.

Well not me. Maybe you.

I want express delivery because I need what I'm ordering, and if they wouldn't offer it as express delivery I would go and try to find it locally.
> You should see what computers did to take the power away from a lot of labour. Or before that you'd never guess what the tractor did. Remember when the Ox started ploughing a field rather than people?

Why do you think I do not agree that those were also bad. Maybe not as bad, but they all led us here.

> Increasing productivity is a great thing. In the US post war environment people shared that increased productivity fairly evenly. It was only once the Regan years arrived that workers in general stopped participating in the boom.

What make you think that where we are now is not because we "increased productivity?

Have you ever question the need for increased productivity? Who is telling you you need to be more productive? (Let me help you, the people who profit off your labor are telling you to be more productive.)
The aging population keeps a hold on housing which they don't need. Edit: as in, their houses are outgrowing them.
Dashboards are often not worth the effort
>If the not-working : working ratio increases, that leads to work being more valuable. A billionaire can have a pile of gold to make Smaug envious, but if you have 10 billionaires and just 1 person willing to wipe their ass, then they're going to be outbidding each other.

What happens is where before you had e.g 3 working people for every non-working (retired person), now you have 1 working person for every retired person, but productivity has not improved much, so the working person has to spend 3x more of what they produce supporting retired people than before, leaving them less. Everyone's standard of living is worse because you have less overall production (due to fewer people working) to support the same population.

It's not hard to understand that a society with 10 people working to support 50 people has worse living standards than a society with 50 people working to support 10 people, assuming the same level of technological development in both.
yes. This is the configuration I use.
Multi-polarity is already happening, there's not a lot the West can do to change that.
Where these 'explorers' or 'tourists'?
Two issues to unpack. The majority of people lost are people doing dangerous things for immigration/money like trying to sail from India to Australia on a plank of wood to get better pay.

This was a submarine under water with alive people running out of air. The location was known and people monitoring were able to contact government immediately which gave them a chance. When a piece of wood is used to sail across the ocean and the boat capsizes rescuers don't know the location, no one is monitoring on shore to alert countries and they cannot survive days under water.

Rich / poor doesn't play into this but makes a great narrative to sell a story that you bought
That can be a double edged sword, particularly when the lesson is about an edge case/pitfall. You'd be surprised how they can seemingly blunder their way to the solution while waltzing around the edge case, and thus not learning the intended lesson.

Setting the stage where they either land in the pit, or start from within, ensures they're interacting with the material as intended.
The fact that we don't know exactly how our brains work, doesn't mean we cannot observe the results of their work.

And as I have demonstrated above, humans, and for that matter other species on this planet featuring capable brains like Corvidae or Cetaceans, do in fact have a concept of truth: They are capable of recognizing false or misleading information as being incongruous with objective reality: A raven that sees me putting food into my left hand, will not jump to a patch of ground where I pretend to put food with my right hand.

This is despite the fact that my actions of "hiding the food" with the empty hand are stochastically indistinguishable from an action of actually hiding food from with my left hand.
> They are amazing musicians

I'm a huge fan as you can see from elsewhere in the thread, but they actually kind of weren't. At least, they weren't particularly virtuosic musicians. Which I think led them to be ultimately more interesting and adventurous.
Oftentimes the games are just cleaned up versions of their microtransaction-ridden originators, bearing the same incentivisation mechanics just without having to pay money. So that's pointless then.
That is the first good suggestion I have seen in this thread. We just need to make it illegal to not allow you app to run on an open device.
The alternative doesn't seem workable either since it would require people to have enough surplus income to pay in enough for retirement. However, a huge segment of our population barely makes enough to live on.
You buy insurance for this kind of trip, part of that insurance goes to paying rescue costs. Generally $100-200k is enough for private rescue. Otherwise, yes, the Navy and Coast Guard have units solely dedicated to at-sea rescue.
Generally yes, unless your labor class doesn't want to, or can't, do the jobs those immigrants do, but your labor class wants to benefit from them.
Sure, they're basically building up their own enemies only to then either suffer the blowback or fight and disarm them.
I feel for you. A manager should probably be better on-top of those things. But this response means you're probably working with an earnest, but perhaps not fully up to level manager, instead of someone who just doesn't give a shit about how you're getting screwed.
A Table is data, don't make things unnecessary complicated. Some data are better managed directly in a table, if you have a good table interface, others are more natural managed in separate files. Each case their own.

And how does mdld differ from dataview?
Conventions on rescue come from a time when seafarers intended to complete their journeys unaided, not launching with an expectation of needing rescue.

The public expense in the Mediterranean sea is very large when you add up diversions of commercial traffic, rescue volunteers funded by donations, national agencies coast guards, and EU Frontex.
It's definitely easier to say no in a corporate setting. You have way more options than someone in academia. It's really hard to transfer and your higher ups control pretty much everything.
The Discovery devices can generate analog and digital signals. There's also an API.

Satiety: the secret to Eating Better? [video]
Hm. That seemed unnecessarily contentious. We were largely in agreement. Yes, the german one is using more lax standards, as I was saying, hopefully not too lax, but yes, the colours indicate entirely different standards.

And yes, I think a simple solution would be to use the colour of your home country that you are used to. Presumably if you moved, you could just learn the standards of your new country. A consistent standard that you can rely on in your phone when on a trip to another country definitely seems more useful if you are actually relying on this iOS app. It could be a simple app pref, a little toggle switch..
A lot of jurisdictions work on a budget: they need X dollars from property taxes, and use your assessed value to determine the rate they need to get X dollars. So if a recession hits, your property taxes don’t go down even if your home falls in value (your rate simply goes up). In a housing boom, your property value goes up, but so does everyone else’s, since X is fixed your rate goes down.
I exported my LastPass vault (yeah I used to be on LastPass...) and imported it into Bitwarden. Maybe I was lucky, but I was amazed by how simple it was. It took like 2 minutes, and it just worked.

If the wealthy would pay taxes proportionally to their wealth, and not evade taxes like many do, this would be an easy answer for me.
Rapid Prototyping is an invaluable tool in our product management toolkit. We're human; we don't always have all the answers, and our intuitions can sometimes mislead us. The answer? Tinkering. Rapid Prototyping allows us to devise ways to prove ourselves wrong and adapt, improving our solutions over time.

Take Dropbox, for example. Rather than diving headfirst into building a complete product, the Dropbox team initially presented a demo video to gauge public interest and collect feedback. This approach was a successful experiment that helped Dropbox shape their final product based on user expectations
The transaction volume is near zero. So price discovery can’t happen. Similar to how during the the last crisis there was almost no market for cdo and all sorts of other shit paper so holders could pretend the asset was worth more dispite not being able to sell it.
Come on, what a stupid take.. what violence? Let’s also call out the EU next for “using violence” and disallows selling grinded shit as food.. capitalism doesn’t work without rules, period!

It’s as per the very Adam Smith! Libertarianism is absolutely divorced from reality.
While it starts out as an ethical choice, it is ultimately up to the society to define the minimum acceptable standard and prevent the “bad” money from “winning”. Unfortunately, that societal will requires greater societal and ethical cohesion.
Honestly this is one of the reasons I just flat out gave up on mobile gaming. Every game I see nowadays is the same mouth-agape icon with screenshots that have nothing to do with the game. The play store I'm guessing is optimizing for in app purcahses rather than finding me games I would play, which is a real shame. I periodically try and take a look there, filtering for only paid games and sorting by rating, but the results are rarely good. Also it seems like the top spots don't change for years.

The other reason is that I'm the type of guy who likes to play strategy or factory games (think Civ, Starcraft, Factorio or Satisfactory) and I just don't think those types of games can ever translate well to mobile.
Wealth equality is completely orthogonal to increasing standards of living. If you get 2x wealthier and everyone else gets 10x wealthier, wealth inequality has increased but your standard of living is still better than before, unless the sole thing you value in life is envy.
Show HN: Underground Music Discovery for DJs and Ravers
Over the years of being a DJ, playing and digging music, I’ve experienced a lot of sounds that create certain feelings. This process of discovering music always took a lot of time and recently I’ve found myself with a lot of material that I did not have time to get into, but wanted to discover in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Which is - tracks perfectly mixed together. So, I’ve created a little software/music art project.

I crawl the internet in search of new underground, (ro) minimal sounds to be mixed live by a custom, audio processing setup that was created to emulate normal Dj.

The tracks are mixed live in an unattended way, chosen semi-randomly in sets (ordered by BPM). Ready to be discovered!

The software stack is ffmpeg+python with some pre-trained ML models for beat detection.

Track discovery happens via bot on the Telegram platform (https://t.me/ROminimal_club), where to get track ID, users are asked to rate the energy level (of whatever you see those ratings mean) of a currently playing track. This is saved as his library for his future reference via private msg.

1. Go to https://ROminimal.club website and listen to the radio stream (also live video with randomly mixed content and current dj actions -- https://io.rominimal.club/
2. Start a chat with CrossFader bot https://t.me/xFadeBot
3. Rate the energy level of tracks in the main group to reveal ID. Enjoy!

(Blaz) - I like how you organised your channel. You have implemented very clever gamification. And the music is top notch. My admiration.
(Escobi) - some dope bangers here, i start listening 5 hours ago and still listening. Big up for this great project! The bombs are planted so great!
(Lisa) - Best thing that happened on the internet in the past 10 years!
Okay. But how is a typical person supposed to effectively judge the relative risk of LastPass against alternatives such that it justifies the hassle of switching?

The core problem with the LastPass breach was their response to it, not necessarily that they were pwned in the first place. Like, the whole point of password protected vaults is to make this situation less harmful.
> Why do you think I do not agree that those were also bad. Maybe not as bad, but they all led us here.

Seems reasonable to assume most people consider advances in healthcare, emergency response, communications, etc that were possible due to computers as “good”. Ditto for the tractor and the ox.

Not all. Additional. No moving the goalposts.
As long as it has any impact on weight, battery size, water tightness or make the device bigger its a deal breaker for me.
Ah but maybe they reacted to that by stopping backup jobs. Wouldn't put it past them, pretty shambolic operation.
I do it a lot in code review. If I'm asking for a change, I like to offer a suggestion of how i'd implement it, but I'm not actually going to write all the code and get it running, pseudocode is enough.

Then there's always the joke about Ruby, where you just write pseudocode and the interpreter just runs it.
Yes - it’s much like now weather forecasting works.

Data points may come from 2 places 100 mi apart, but what if someone lives between them?

Temperature or other weather data is often an extrapolation based on official weather data collection points, and AQI data is no different.

How that data gets extrapolated varies wildly by implementation.

edit: Also a fun fact, I live 2000ft above and 50mi from the nearest forecasting center in a valley. “Weather apps” are about as accurate as throwing darts at a board up here, because the models used to extrapolate known data completely fall apart with all the variables.

Our best source of data is the “short term weather discussion” by NOAA, which just gives some generalizations based on local weather knowledge.
The accusation in the article seems to be of the form that expired or rapidly approaching EOL material was used in the fabrication process, (likely tailings or castoff from other processes). I just can't see a business (Spencer Composites) taking the reputational risk of "hey, I got a pile of Quality rejected carbon fiber originally slotted for Boeing that's perfectly good for "insanely more dangerous specifications here*. Give it to you for a discount.

I could see OceanGate sourcing something like that and obscuring the provenance from Spencer Composites though. The irony in all this, of course, is that if this were built to SUBSAFE quality standards, we'd know exactly the provenance of these materials, as tracing this sort of thing is one of the goals of such a Quality Assurance Program.

In the end though, the carbon fiber was laid, it just was not tested with industry standard methods due to the exceptional thickness of the end product. I'd be curious to know what the testing challenges would actually have entailed.

Based off a quick perusal of

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

Looks like Ultrasound would have been right out. X-ray and Thermography would still have been viable-ish. Would have to do more reading.
It's only about the course, not about principles of imperative programming.
I published a book last year with a similar goal: Zefs Guide to Deep Learning

https://zefsguides.com

It's a pretty short book designed to provide a strong conceptual grounding in the most import ideas in deep learning, starting with an intro to ML. The book posted by the OP appears to be a little more oriented towards the math and people who have a strong grasp of CS theory. I am definitely going to read through it!

I was considering going even smaller and cuter with my actual print book, but ended up with a "pocket book" format that's 5.25" x 8" (13.3cm x 20.2cm) and about 160 pages total. This book seems to get the smallness part down pretty well.

I actually considered the exact same title (The Little Book of Deep Learning) when I started out!

knockdown and rebuild for new purposes, ie better quality cities would be better, because you'd get the opportunity to fix stoads, and generate jobs from the rebuild.

Yeah. I don't get this. I've never required a password manager, maybe I'm just good at remembering passwords.

And why would you even trust a cloud based product. If I can't see the hosted source code storing the password then I'm not trusting it regardless.
A lot of the text reads like it was written by ChatGPT. Probably was, no?
Yes, I don't know if they transmit any kind of individualized information though, like a serial number. But as it stands, what sort of incentive do rescue workers have to actually find you? I'm willing to bet they get paid either way. The trick would be to place some money into escrow as a bounty to the one who finds you.

What's the point of being wealthy if you're treated like just anyone else?
Depends on the game. I gladly paid for Monument Valley (one of the finest mobile games I ever played) but would never pay for crap like Flappy Bird.

Portugal has relaxed its citizenship requirements and there are tons of Brazilians who could ramp up its workforce.

The thing is that it's not that cheap a country anymore and salaries are still quite low compared to the larger EU economies. Housing is a lot cheaper in Italy (another country with a large diaspora in the Americas).
LA really isn’t a desert. It is definitely near a desert, but the city itself isn’t very desert like. LA’s water use is a lot smaller than the farms around LA, so converting farms to residential use would actually save a lot of water.
Isn't that essentially what drove large swaths of people to support Trump? Bogeyman "illegals" crossing the border to "take their jobs"?

Fundamentally, people don't immigrate to countries where they think their lives will be worse. They move to places with more economic opportunities. That introduces more labor supply into the destination country. At controlled immigration levels, this is healthy and necessary.
Are you pulling his leg calling this intuative and obvious?

What is obvious about series being better than 360? why would someone think that if they were just presented with those names and nothing else?

Microsoft Word can do it, but you must _save_ the document as a PDF. I know this because I've done it dozens of times, as recently as a year ago.

Notably, you _can't_ use PDF printers to accomplish this. PDF printers reduce the document to only visual data, losing interactive features.

I know Word isn't part of your solution but maybe this distinction between saving the document as a PDF vs. running the document through a printer driver will be useful to bear in mind in your case.

But I also suspect that you might have succeeded in the past unknowingly. This is because many, _many_ PDF viewers do not support internal jump links. This is apparently too "advanced" a feature for most in-browser viewers, for example, including the built-ins.

If you aren't already doing it, always test whether features are working in Adobe Reader before checking with viewers which may have reduced featuresets.

i wonder whether our current strong compile-time/runtime distinction can support this. it may be slightly easier for interpreted and vm-based languages but i’m not sure we can have it more broadly.

lately i’ve been playing with prolog and revisiting computer science/computer programming before imperative languages drew a curtain on innovation and i think we have lost a lot. our modern programming isn’t the programming the founders had in mind, it seems.
