Thanks, my math's never been particularly rigorous. The 7 dimensional cross product is fascinating, my brain really wants it to be 5 dimensional.

I often use the cross product in 2d too, don't tell anybody.

Yes, this will be a major problem for factories. Any "cloud based" software is guaranteed to become obsolete and incompatible well within the lifetime of the equipment it controls. If you're dealing with real manufacturing or lab equipment you should avoid "cloud based" stuff like the plague.

Most of the equipment I deal with is not on the net. It doesn't need to be since it's just controlling some machine which is busy making something real. If you need to move any data on or off the computer you use USB sticks (or sometimes CDs or floppies).

Some newer test stands are interfaced to an internal LAN so they can provide process control data to a database. In that case one either needs to provide some sort of firewall between the equipment's computer and the database, or just bite the bullet and redesign the whole thing for compatibility with, say, Win 10 (at major expense in time and money).

I wish I could convince people to target their automation stuff to Linux so the backwards compatibility problem would be easier, but corporations still balk at that.
That could also be resolved by having tight border security and heavily penalizing anyone involved with their entry
I'm going to strongly push back on both (1) the notion that overall survival is the wrong metric and (2) that I'm misinterpreting something, given that I didn't really offer any interpretation at all. I just cited a paper.

> What you want to do is

No, what I want to do is assess whether broad screening programs actually make people live longer. Overall survival is the correct metric. Evidence in favor of the claim is lacking.

> none of the studies are sufficiently powered for OS.

"Sufficiently powered" is relative to what size of effect you want to detect--which you haven't specified, so I'm not sure how you can make the assertion that none of the studies are sufficiently powered.

> The available evidence behind currently recommended screening programs unequivocally shows improved cancer-specific survival and earlier stage at diagnosis.

These outcomes ignore negative effects of screening on people who don't have cancer, which is why I'm not interested in them. And yes, there are negative effects, and no, they are not negligible.

No, all we need are the proper incentives and environments.

Build walkable cities, build office parks next to high-density residential housing and train-stations and do away with tax credits for commuting.

We have something called "Pendlerpauschale" in Austria that grants you tax-credits the longer you have to commute, which incentives people to buy houses in rural, underdeveloped areas. Naturally living in underdeveloped areas comes with a lot of costs all of society has to bear (mostly building and maintaining infrastructure barely anyone uses).
> Obviously you're stuck with mobile UIs for things like navigation, directions, location information, and a lot review apps, ordering a car, etc

The "etc" in your statement could be expanded to 100 additional useful things in everyday life. Given that, how can you agree with their original posters statement that mobile devices are terrible for everything except portability? It's such a ridiculous understatement.
I already got paid for the past ten years. If you had to attend university to get ready for your job, then you can have a bit more to compensate for that time without income.

I have nothing against market economics in general, I would welcome competitors driving those outsized profits down. When I say everyone should earn roughly the same, then this is what I think would be a desirable state, but in this case market dynamics are unlikely to yield this result because not everyone can switch to doing every possible job for all kinds of reasons.

This is what makes unskilled jobs pay relatively bad despite this work being important and often hard or unpleasant, but the mechanism to change that, leaving for better payed higher skilled jobs to reduce supply is just not available to many.

So I would think that I am in general in favor of market dynamics, but it has to be a working market.
Your weird clocks are very cool!

Seeing the Game of Life display stirred a memory in me of finding this book in the public library at a very influential age and obsessing over it (I checked it out multiple times):

Armchair Universe: An Exploration of Computer Worlds (A. K. Dewdney, 1987)
https://archive.org/details/armchairuniverse0000dewd_x2e7/pa...

I remember being fascinated by Conway's Game of Life (and implementing it a few times in a few languages) and, of course, also became fascinated by fractals, but never understood them as well.

I haven't thought about it, but that book was incredibly important to my path through the world of programming.

Your prices are surprisingly low. I assume you're not trying to make money so much as scratch an itch, but I wonder if you'd sell even more if you charged a more premium price and added a few more details / higher quality pictures.

Really cool work, dude - thanks for sharing and for the nostalgia trip.

The problem is that you get stuck in a local maximum.

Nobody really wants to be at an airport. They are located on the outskirts of cities due to noise issues, and you still have to spend quite a lot of time traveling to downtown or even the completely opposite side of the city. It is also extremely difficult to actually build things near the train station due to all the space being required for the airport itself.

Compare the Orlando terminal[0] with a train station like Amsterdam Zuid[1], which is going to be the terminus for high-speed trains in the near future. Orlando has rental cars and taxis. Amsterdam Zuid has 32 semi-local trains per hour, 3 metro lines each serving 6 trains per hour in either direction, 9 bus lines with similar frequencies, and 2 comparable tram lines.

The Orlando terminal is within walking distance of Orlando Airport terminal C. Amsterdam Zuid is within walking distance of a major hospital, a major university, and offices for multinationals like Google, Accenture, and the European Medicine Agency.

When you have to rent a car to get to your destination anyways, why bother taking a train?

State, it became mandatory for drugstores to get such consent. For some time, they presented a piece of paper and told people they needed that paper signed so that a juicy discount could be given. People didn't think twice.

After some time the drugstores realized that the government had no resources nor interest to enforce such law and now they simply don't comply any longer.

I'm afraid this is the sort of decision which average people is not really well-equipped to make by themselves. Companies should be forbidden to collect and sell certain sorts of data, period.

“Robots can’t replace senior clerics, but they can be a trusted assistant that can help them issue a fatwa in five hours instead of 50 days,”

That senior cleric is effectively a judge in relation to those fatwa. AI can certainly make it easier for a judge to draft a court order. But unfortunately the statement that AI cannot replace the judge/cleric is a statement of values rather than of software capability. I hope that judgement is widespread enough to sustain a no-AI-as-judge-or-jury policy, but it's not a confident hope.

The term has been well known in public-policy discussions for at least a decade. The basic idea goes back a loooooong time, at least to 1170 when Henry II of England asked, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" (meaning Thomas Becket). Thus he ensured that someone would and did, even though he didn't know who, where, or how. The fatwa against Salman Rushdie could serve as a contemporary example that also predates what wiki-editors seem aware of. Offering a clear path to gain favor is almost as good as an order.

Nowadays, when a prominent US politician says "these people are {killing babies|sexualizing children|stealing an election} and something should be done about it" then it becomes increasingly likely that violent acts will follow, even though no specific or direct order was given. It's a way to rule by fear while supposedly retaining deniability, but anybody who has been paying attention can see right through it and it's beginning to look as though the legal system might catch up.
It's also quite simple to allow the term "milk" as a substitute for "dairy milk" but not for "soy milk". As it had been the case since plant-based milks have been around...
Show HN: Get your entire ChatGPT history in Markdown files
This is just a small thing I coded to help me see my entire convo history in beautiful markdown, in Obsidian (my note-taking app).

[Link to Github repo](https://github.com/mohamed-chs/chatgpt-history-export-to-md).

The Python script helps you to convert conversations extracted from ChatGPT (ZIP export all your data, sent by Openai) into neatly formatted Markdown files.

Also adds YAML metadata headers and includes Code interpreter (Advanced data analysis) intput / output code.

Feel free to fork the repo and implement your own improvements, I feel like there's alot more to be extracted from the data. Any feedback or contributions are welcome !

I found chrome extensions to be a bit slow and sometimes overkill for this, although I did enjoy the folder system in some of them.

Interesting perspective. However, I’m not sure what it is that’s blunt about saying “no” in a polite manner. People have the right to attempt conversation, but you have no obligation to engage. Oh well, I guess you have a strategy already.
The story of the Newry Canal, the first one, is amazing. Over a hundred years from first order to construct, to opening.

It’s interesting to see how they’re strategizing this strike by individually shutting down plants to apply pressure to the automakers gradually instead of all at once. This keeps more workers collecting a paycheck while the threat of a larger shutdown looms. It’s a great idea from a labor organizing standpoint.
You don’t see how someone’s history of shaking a baby could bear on whether this separate and specific alleged infant-shaking event wasn’t an accident or that the person didn’t have the intent, preparation, and knowledge to shake a baby?

> Didn't change a single mind

How do you know? People don't post "thanks for changing my mind!" when they change their mind.

Have you ever changed your mind? How often did you go and express that you changed your mind to the person who changed your mind? Did you at some point start voting differently? Did you go to the politician that convinced you and told him he changed your mind? Probably not, people mostly change their mind in silence, many wont even acknowledge they changed their mind if you confront them.
I don't agree with criminalizing long commutes, nor do I agree with the minimum wage, which is a similar overstep from the government into employer-employee relationships. However, I agree with the spirit of both (protecting a worker), and think that an employment contract should be required to state the value of each party's consideration (what they're exchanging).

In other words, an employer should be required to state the forecasted value (measured in profit, updated annually) of the labor they are purchasing. As it stands, very few workers know their value to the company, which severely harms their ability to negotiate. An employee should know how exactly how much a company is profiting from their labor. If this information asymmetry is resolved, I don't think there would be a need for many employment regulations, including minimum wages, or hypothetical restrictions on long commutes, because workers will automatically have a far better negotiating position.
I wondered the same thing. I think 125 mph is peak, not average, speed. I think average speed is something like 70 mph.
I am not surprised by that. Fully remote zoom based interaction only works for those who work in a silo and do not need much social interaction to get their job done. Some like a mid-senior software engineer. But many other roles really need social interactions and in-person time.

I have family members in SV who have started their own startup. Talking to them, "founder" seems to be a roll which needs a lot of social interactions and they are constantly networking. Right from raising money to making the first hires to finding the first customers. So no wonder YC batch finds in-person to be the best experience.
Sure, it depends on the disposition of the polities around you and how strong the police/defense force is. You could also run it with any system of government you like, libertarian or otherwise.

A lot of people in this thread are laughing at the Liberland folks for being doomed to fail, not realizing that "might makes right", etc. Well how would we be reacting if they became terrorists instead? Defended the area with homemade bombs? What if Jeff Bezos built a private army and decided to secede from the US?

The morality or intellectual interest of a people's claim to a territory (along with their chosen system of government) is completely orthogonal to their ability to enforce it. For the other end of the spectrum just look at Ukraine, as others here have pointed out.

And btw I'm personally not even a libertarian...

I don’t have a great answer for you, but I will say that leadership’s lack of data / concrete reasoning was the most jarring aspect.

Throughout the company, data was used to make decisions. Without data, documents would be rejected and projects put on hold. So why is this mandate lacking data? It managed to ruin a lot of trust that employees had placed on leadership.
Define "scam"? Who is trying to scam who in this situation? The Liberlanders feel more like a LARP group than any sort of pyramid scheme, and it's not like there was any serious risk of them actually receiving recognition and depriving the actual nations nearby of the (as you point out) worthless land.

Edit: Replying to people by editing your own post is bad form. It makes the conversation very hard to follow.

I fail to see how a Liberland citizenship is any more scammy than any of the other supremely silly things people decide to spend their money on. I'd like to see concrete evidence that people buying a Liberland citizenship thought they were paying for something real.
Even the biggest artists still need promoters (Taylor Swift has a promoter... it's Massina Touring Group, Beyonce is with Live Nation). The reason is obvious... star's can't afford the capitol costs of their own shows. Renaissance had a capitol budget of over 100 million. Beyonce's net worth is about 500 million... she's not going to tie up 1/5th of her net worth in a single tour! For someone like Olivia Rodrigo, the economics are even worse. Guts probably will have a capital budget in the 10-20 million range (or higher!) but Olivia's net worth is about 5 million. The promoter's advance is what allows artists to actually have their tours.
The promoters are the ones who actually own and sell the tickets. They have a lot of power over decisions like whether or not to use dynamic pricing.

> The most efficient x86 computer will consume 10W to 25W at idle

Totally untrue. I've got a box sitting in my closet right now that has a full system power of only ~4.5W measured by a kill-a-watt.

Its based around a Supermicro X11SBA-LN4F, a small SATA SSD, and a, 80 PLUS Gold power supply.

My personal laptop based around an AMD 3200U sitting idle right now is pulling ~6W at the wall with the 14" screen on. According to HWMonitor the CPU package is using 0.65-0.9W.

Both of these are x86 computers and they're well under even your 10W idle estimate.
Pre-covid, and this WFH/RTO conversation, the focus was on hating the open office floor plan, which does suck, I agree ...
