As someone just now learning I have been negative visualizing since childhood, I’ll tell you it’s not a choice exactly. The thoughts just come to you (someone is going to die, I’m going to die, etc.)… sometimes I’m successful at knocking the thought out of my head quickly. Other times I dwell for a few minutes, having a mini-grieving session thinking what I would do in the situation. It passes and I go back to present life where you don’t think about these things at all. I don’t know if it’s something innate that I got used to and I subconsciously need to do for some reason (and perhaps others do not)… not sure how much more resilient I’ll be if/when anything terrible happens, so agree not sure if best use of time
Nobody is against cheap workers paying taxes. They’re against undocumented workers getting paid under the table and unfairly competing with documented workers that have to pay taxes and thus are more expensive. Gotta solve the documentation problem one way or another.

Yes, it is possible that there is a large filter between developing life and getting to where we are. I can't deny that that is a possible explanation for the observed Fermi paradox.

But finding independent life on other planets would eliminate a whole class of great filters, making it more likely the filter is either as you said or that it is ahead of us. It is bad news imo if it is more likely than before that the filter is ahead of us. And that is unambiguously the case if we were to find life on another planet. Not proof positive it is ahead of us, but it shifts the probabilities.

And yes, it took billions of years for life to evolve, but if we find life in our solar system, that is potentially billions of opportunities for life independently evolving.

That sounds like malicious abuse to me.

It would still be manslaughter at least, if not murder. And if shaking the baby was itself felonious abuse, then an accidental death resulting from that is probably felony murder in states with such statutes.
As has been noted in another comment, the article makes that statement, but skips over the implications of the constant apparent motion of the sun for the length of day.

It gives the impression that, geometrically speaking, there is a day on (or near) the equinox which has equal darkness and daylight. Of course, this isn't guaranteed at all, and certainly not for every point on the earth's surface.

Great question. If a person has three citizenships, then they have three citizenships.
I normally agree with this sentiment but I have a story about this. I was in a situation where I was handed over old projects to expand on and the choice to rewrite or build on the same codebase was up to me and another dev (management didn't care or know what should be done in this regard). As "mature" devs we knew rewriting wasn't a great idea. So we code splunked for months, wrote tests, upgraded and cleaned out code bits at a time. Only after succeeding in this did we realize that 85% of the existing code was unused and most of the remaining 15% had pretty substantial bugs in it and naturally ended up mostly rewritten to fix. Turns out the previous dev worked alone for years, didn't use source control, didn't ever delete anything, and that the company has quite a history of pivots. After stepping back from this we realized we should have rewritten, that we basically did anyhow, except we took the longer road to get there but now still have to continue with some of the framework/lib choices the previous dev had made because we opted to stick with them in order to facilitate this piece by piece "rewrite". I don't think we did anything wrong here but it's funny how taking this mature approach, in retrospect, probably didn't help much and now we're beyond the opportunity for a rewrite. I know some folks will say that what we did was actually a first step towards a proper rewrite, and I'd agree, except the time to do that never came.
It shouldn't, but dehydration might?
This is a good read: https://www.britannica.com/topic/international-law/States-in...

The TL;DR of this is, ultimately, that a state is whatever other states say is a state, and they're generally wary of recognizing anything disputed. There's a fair bit of nuance there though so it's worth a proper read. And, as we know from Ukraine, even when the state is widely recognized with well-established borders, you'd better be in a position to enforce those borders by force if your neighbour decides they disagree.
What I find interesting when comparing the US the Canada on topics like these is that in Canada, there is self-interest in demanding workers be protected. Like beyond the fact that it's a good thing you do.

Because we have a public health care system, funded by taxes, having a large number of young men out of the work force (not paying taxes) and using the health care system effectively means my taxes, everyone's taxes, are higher.

There's incentives for our government to protect workers from risks that will cost a fortune to fix.

In America, there's only the "because it's the right thing to do" reason, which is never enough for anyone to actually do anything.
Or it’s a consequence of just not feeling like a major meal in the morning. A lot of Europeans eat a pretty light continental breakfast down to a croissant and an expresso.

With all due respect, I don’t think you have seen the monstrosities project can grow into over multiple years and big teams. Not everything is at the scope of, say, Foot - but even this pushes the boundaries of human understanding without tools to aid.
I think the wider death of P2P technology is really frustrating.

Self-hosting is close to dying.

Shoutcast style radio streaming is dying/dead.

Torrenting as mentioned is being suppressed.

Even an excellent use of P2P software, Skype, was forced to switch to non P2P technologies because of legal concerns.

Email is dying in favor of centrally owned IM services.

P2P IM services are being replaced by centrally owned ones.

P2P chat rooms like IRC are being replaced by centrally owned proprietary ones like Discord.

If people contributed a fraction of the money towards maintaining and building out these P2P options that they spend for the proprietary commercial options replacing them, they’d still be extremely viable.

But this is the tragedy of the commons the internet suffers from. Extremely valuable public goods are destroyed by billions of dollars of venture capital because those extremely valuable public goods have no mechanism to capture even the tiniest portion of the value they create to protect themselves from the onslaught of VC money which wants to privatize the value created by these public goods.
GA has stronger types than the vector math taught in school, we just don't have an intuition for it. Here's an example:

Traditional vector math gives the output of the cross-product of two vectors the same type. (That's why it's only meaningful in 3d.) The input and output lives in the same space, you can presumably do meaningful math with them and get a result that's still a vector. The types do not help us.

GA treats this operation differently. The cross-product-equivalent-operation returns a completely different type. Sure, you can add the inputs and outputs, but that returns a third type! If we built an intuition for this type system, it would help us.

It's not the galaxy's rotational axis, exactly; it's the rotational axis of the (currently present) infalling gas. That may tend to align with the galaxy's axis, but there's probably a lot of variation. (When a star is getting sucked in, it's going to contribute pretty heavily, and star orbits in the core are not at all correlated with the axis of rotation of the disk.)

All this is my understanding only. I'm not a working physicist.

I agree about heavily processed photographs - but what actually sets apart "professional" (or let's call them "serious") landscape photographs from those people like you and I take is the photographer's willingness to plan ahead and wait for juuust the right moment for a photograph. Let's take this image of Lake Bled in Slovenia: http://aurelm.com/wp-content/uploads/Gallery-Bled-lake-sunri... - ok, maybe it's a bit too saturated, but what makes it look impressive is the dramatic lighting, which can only be captured at sunrise (if you're lucky and the sky isn't completely overcast, of course). If he wanted a perfect photo, he could have also photoshopped out the crane behind the castle in the background, but he didn't...
Science as a method is not a universal solution to problems.

For example, a scientist who starts talking about politics is usually well outside his/her area of competence. A scientific method does not seem to lend itself to solving political problems.

Enough of this no true scottsmanship.

"Scientific consensus" is taken as gospel by many people. Most on this very board. They don't care to learn how the consensus was reached (usually happens by just ignoring detractors). They just care to feel superior to people outside the consensus because "duh, science".
Title here seems clickbait.

The title from the article I see it now is "Falcon 180B: Can It Run on Your Computer?"

The content does mention 720GB RAM, but quickly clarifies that it can be reduced:

QUOTE:

Step 1 and step 2 are the ones that consume memory. In total, you would need 720 GB of memory available. This can be CPU RAM, but for fast inference, you may want to use GPUs, e.g., 9 A100 with 80 GB of VRAM. This wouldn’t be enough for batch inference.

With either CPU RAM or VRAM, that’s a lot of memory. Fortunately, these requirements can be easily reduced.
Yes, you are right. Over some targets, the missile is cheaper. But over a target where you can fly freely, air dropped bombs are massively cheaper than cruise missiles. In fact, bombs dropped from bombers are more comparable to artillery than to cruise missiles. Also, each bomb can be much more powerful and be dropped with much better accuracy than most artillery.

Against targets that are well protected by enemy SAM's and fighters, the equation changes, as you correctly state. Flying F-16s direcly on top of S-400 batteries doesn't make much sense.

But then again, the S-400s themselves are not free, and if you can destroy the air defences at a cost that is lower than the purchase cost of those air defences, an air campaign is still worth it, even if it may need to be delayed until the air defences are taken care of.

> Adding a fixed height for out-of-view feed items

When scrolling the feed, each feed item that is out of the view will get a fixed height. See the following video:

I can’t think of a reason for that. What do you think?

I wonder if this is an Meta Framework micro-optimization that makes viewport rendering faster with a gazillion DOM items or something because the element heights are "known".

Very inspiring story and well written, heartfelt kudos.

For all the negativity comments here, I feel like these commenters read the intro paragraph and started complaining.

Unlike most of the similar indieHacker stories, this one has most details I would want to know. 99.999999% of the stories by “IndieHackers” are mostly self-congratulatory marketing bs leading to selling a consulting/book mostly about how they “followed their passion while everyone else was naysayer and how their corporate boss was a d*k” while handwaving the whole real details.

As I read the article from top-2-bottom, here are some useful tl;dr

* he had plenty time during COVID working from home while polishing his first product

* he started posting interesting daily hobby stuff(most of us do) on twitter, which people found interesting and follower grew

* he gained some initial traction from one HN & then ProductHunt posting of his product

* he lived in Singapore and earned ~$8800(~12k in SGD) and average cost of living is nearly half(or cheaper if he lived as single person) and usually tax is progressive reaching up to 22%, so he saved a good amount of cushion money(he mentioned in the post that he saved up for 2 years of living cost if he moved back to Vietnam or if frugally living then easily 4 years)

* in his post, he mentioned that $1k/month is adequate for comfortable living in his home country(Vietnam), so at $45k/month, even accounting for all taxes and misc. he is probably a very wealthy person if he moved back to Vietnam

* majority of his marketing channel was newsletter and twitter followers(first difficult 100 were probably gained from HN & PH posting)

* his products might not be ground breaking but it was very useful for average joe on twitter(remember we HN folks are very tech sophisticated, to most average joe, finding some pretty numbers about how many people their tweet reached is like feeling lightyears ahead and magic!)

* unlike other high ego IndieHackers, Tony didn’t engage in hiding his risks, he came clean about his twitter product being unsustainable due to sudden subscription model of twitter-post-elon, and sold it off($128k) which gave him good amount of cash to grow his other projects

* COL in vietnam is pretty cheap compared to our Western lands of dream and $45k/month minus other stuff is still a lot of money, which can give a QOL x10 better than what we can afford for x10 that amount here

* from the article he is not selling any coaching/tutoring/here-is-how-I-won-some-lottery-pay-me-money-to-read book or anything.
It's not a question of division by zero type of things. It's more about rounding errors, classifications, and topology. Does a point lie on one side of a plane or the other? Are two points actually the same? Are surfaces coincident? These are all questions with discrete answers and dealing with them is far harder than picking a more abstract representation of a few primitives and operators.

Example: Two boxes are in contact face to face. Think two 2x4s laying one on top of the other to form a cross. If I want to create a union of these objects, the surfaces that are in contact need to be cut into 3 areas each - one on each side of the other box, and a middle (contact) area that will be discarded. Where do I split the edges? Obviously where they intersect the plane of the other object. But the plane we need to intersect is the one parallel to the edge. We can often get away with splitting against the orthogonal plane, but only if it's a sharp edge. If it's rounded we end up with 3 surfaces all tangent at the intersection. So maybe I should look for edge-edge intersections. Right. But what if some code splits a line against a line, but another line is split against a plane? numerically these may be different results, but I know they should be the same point. I'm rambling because this is exactly a problem I was working on last night (aiming to fix a bug in Solvespace) and the solution has absolutely nothing to do with details like what abstraction is used to represent the geometric primitives, and everything to do with numerical precision and topological representations. These are the hard problems GA does not address.
I have a wood shop, I wear a respirator constantly unless I've got the doors open and the fans on and I'm not going to be doing more than a one-off cut that afternoon. A properly fitted 3M 6800-series full-face respirator is pretty comfortable even for long periods and while wearing glasses. A 6200-series half-mask is even more comfortable, though a little awkward with glasses.

The only problem is that a 6800-series costs $200, plus probably $30 a month in P100 cartridges given the level of particulates in the air, and that's more than these companies think their workers' lives are worth.
There's a mirror in the bathroom, but it's not over the sink. I'd have to deliberately look in it, and I just don't.
Also Safari greatly picked up pace a few years ago and honestly it’s hard to categorize them as behind anymore. They lead in several areas, and have caught up in most.
This seems largely similar to worker protections for welding... the proper protection is essentially heavy shop ventilation and full respirators (which, good ones cost something like $1500).

I suspect the problem is that welding related disease/problems show up quite quickly in most cases, and welding tends to be a higher paid industry. More room for margin on PPE and workers have higher demands.
There have been many such studies using hookworms to investigate whether aspects of out physiology can benefit from parasites, whether our bodies have evolved to expect them to the point that living without is unnatural. BUT, my understanding is that these studies have always used only male or only female worms. The patient is "infected" with a very limited number and they will all eventually die. That is very different than being infested with a colony's worth of worms. And, most importantly, any released eggs will not ever go on to infect other people.

These worms are also easily eradicated from the body if needed. Ivermectin cannot kill covid, but it murders worms very well.

It's kind of sad to reflect that the Apple Newton had this almost a decade prior[1] to the first iPhone and in an intuitive manner, by selecting text by highlighting it with the stylus then dragging it to the edge of the screen where it would remain in a truncated pill form for later retrieval (dragging out the pill to a document). No menus involved at all.

> Google obviously uses gmail, and just as clearly never used any of the social products they released

Employees use for example Gmail and Google Docs, and it's critical to their productivity.

It can be hard to get the same feedback loop for other products. Some Google employees used Google+, but not that many, and they didn't need the same features as external users. And even if they complained internally about some things, it was not critical anyway.
Please, mind, this is only showing correlation. No cause/effect relation.

It might be that people who have GI problems are more likely to skip breakfast. Or there might be something else that causes both.

Well you used a word that is crucial imho, roots, means where you come from, origins. I feel like I tend to have libertarian views regarding choosing your identity, which includes calling yourself American, Austrian or whatever, ultimately it’s you that should make this decision. But just adding hyphens to people with historical significance that decided to move to a country that at the time gave them an economic incentive by having the best market feels dirty. Especially considering that most other countries don’t do this.

Welcome to Birthday Week 2023
The point remain here: The workers are the ones choosing to not use the safety gear, in some cases.

I was the safety representative at a previous job. Management care a lot about safety and provided everything required, and high quality gear as well. Still people would cut corners and not use the equipment because it was faster not to. These where people paid by the hour, they have zero incentive to work faster. If people work on contact however, it's easy to create an environment where speed is priorities over safety.
