I didn't make this.
I saved it in my bookmarks when found and your post made me remind it, so I shared.
I'm really not that good on naming things.
I'm not autistic, and I have the same issue with arbitrary rules, airports or other security theatre are a classic example. I'm sure there are many people out there that feel the same way
Great advice, especially on finding a mentor. I hadn't thought about the importance of finding someone outside your reporting chain.

Gmail also has DMARC quarantine enabled. What’s more likely, that someone broke DMARC or that they stole someone’s password? My bet is on the latter.
This doesn't seem like actual research? This seems wrong. Autistic kids tend to like rules and structure and tend to be very worried about breaking the rules. They are more likely to "tell" on people for breaking the rules. Miscarriage of justice (ie, getting punished when you haven't broken the rules) is hugely upsetting. Rules that don't make sense and seem really arbitrary also are upsetting. But authority figures tend to be secure anchor points. My son is Autistic and this is often talked about by experts and through support groups.
I did not know it was a river in Spain, coming from the US I had always assumed it was some catholic religious phrase or a mispronunciation of a native word.

It makes me cringe to imagine people saying "GWAD-uh-LOOP" but I guess its not even that bad compared to many mispronunciations
Wow this resonated with me so much, I’m exactly the same.
Ugh, you just explained my 20 year career. It’s not that we don’t see authority, we do. It’s that we don’t see the trust yet that the authority sees us. Too many times we were told we’re failing to meet expectations or we aren’t good enough when we go above and beyond what is required. In school this is often helping others or tutoring or being that kid in computer club who figured out how to interface with the dot matrix printer, in the teachers break room, from the computer lab in the library.

We are curious. We are confident in our ability. We heard good things about you but until you show us you can be trusted with authority, you’ll always be on the outer ring.

Come to think about it, I think a lot of us are just traumatized from their experience growing up to ever blindly accept authority. Mainly because authority figures have lied to us.
1. This gets trotted out constantly but this is not some known constant about how capitalist economies work. Just because we have more jobs now than we did pre-digital revolution does not mean all technologies have that effect on the jobs market (or even that the digital revolution had that effect). A tool that is aimed to entirely replace humans across many/most/all industries is quite different than previous technological advancements.

2. This is outdated, life is NOT better now than at any other time. Life expectancy is going down in the US, there is vastly more economic inequality now than there was in the 60s, people broadly report much worse job satisfaction than they did in previous generations. The only metric you can really point to about now being better than the 90s is absolute poverty going down. Which is great, but those advancements are actually quite shallow on a per-person basis and are matched by declines in relative wealth for the middle 80% of people.

3. ??? What kind of AI are you talking about? LLMs have only been interesting to the public for about a year now
Well the inherent framing of neurodivergent/neurotypical really lends itself well to those kind of arguments. If it's a spectrum and we are all on it with only two words to describe it then we are bound to get that kind of low-quality discussion.

Hi there,

Kart supports points, lines & polygons, as well as GeoTIFFs for imagery and LAZ for point clouds.

Kart is a CLI tool, but provides fully machine readable outputs. You can use the QGIS plugin to get a visual diff of vector feature changes though.
My-2nd-Brain: AI Based Personal Assistance
I wrote my first quick blog piece on the questions I think have worked best for me when checking references.

I would love any feedback HN has.
My-2nd-Brain is an AI based Personal Assistance to empower People (businesses) to remember everything at their finger tip. Be more Organized - more Productive - more Relaxed. No App to download - All you need is a Web browser on any Device. Currently offered as a Free service under Anoox non-profit Social network.

what we would like to hear from you esteemed members of Hacker_News is whether this would make a good company on its own? That is we are looking to spin this AI based Personal Assistance from under Anoox into its own for-profit Corporation for which we raise a Seed round to make this AI based Personal Assistance to be a subscription based service to grow it into a Unicorn. What do you think about this? Can this AI based Personal Assistance become a Unicorn?

Please note you can sign-up for a free Anoox account and use this AI based Personal Assistance for yourself. And in fact once you do, then you will wonder "How did I ever live without this?"
Of course in its current offering this AI based Personal Assistance is its simplified version and once it is released
in its new form as a paid subscription based service and we have secured the Seed round it will be much enhanced.

Regards,
Dean Ansari
Anoox Managing Director
How could you tell the difference between people who genuinely believe and people who genuinely believe because bad? Have you considered that where you fall on this question might be because of some pre-existing assumptions?

You could be right but it also doesn't have to be a corporate psyop. It could be experts in the industry raising some sincerely held criticisms and people at large being like, "oh that's a good point." Even if we're in the latter case they're also allowed to be allowed to be wrong or just misguided.

You don't actually to attack the intent of the speaker in this case, you could just be like, "here's why your wrong."
Not fixing everything in Linux is not the same as not upstreaming. Martin seems to want to upstream the code for the drivers but not touch anything else. Which is totally fair!
There is of course a difference between the two things you say. They're both the reason we can't recreate the brain in software though.
I'm about six months into figuring it out and only now getting a feel for who I am without all the pressures of making a living in my chosen career.

Is not a verifiable fact. It's just a political opinion, used in conjunction with a verifiable fact, to smuggle a political argument into a 'scientific' personality test.

Never saw it reflected on their own status site.
The vast majority of spam we get that isn't trivially rejected (DMARC, malformed HELO, etc) is from real, actual gmail. But they sure do care about _incoming_ spam.
> CAN-SPAM is ignored for the most part anyway, e.g. LinkedIn requires recipients to authenticate in order to unsubscribe and openly violates the letter and intent of the law to the point scripts are required:

There are several known-bad actors. LinkedIn isn't even the worst offender - Amazon is much more brazen, though they get less flak for it because the number of violating non-transactional emails they send is lower.

Regardless, I stand by my point that this isn't a big shift. Google stating publicly that they will penalize people who are violating an law that turns 20 years old this year, and which has generally been implemented by almost all legitimate bulk email providers[0], is not something I'm particularly surprised about or worried by.

Again, the first and third bullet points in this press release are already de facto policy at Gmail, and have been for over a decade. The news is that Google is stating this publicly, not that they're doing something new.

[0] The notable exceptions notwithstanding, it's quite rare to find a bulk email sender who violates this, because very few legitimate mail providers will allow it, and it's pretty difficult to set up your own mail server with decent inbox delivery rates.
> I hope P2P stays around in browsers.

I do, too.

There was a W3C draft [1] ~pthatcherg was working on for P2P support for QUIC in the browser that could have maybe become a path to WebRTC using QUIC as a transport, but I think it may have been dropped somewhere along the line to the current WebTransport spec and implementations. (If Peter sees this, I'd love to learn more about how that transpired and what the current status of those ideas might be.)

A more recent IETF individual draft [2] defines a way to do ICE/STUN-like address discovery using an extension to QUIC itself, so maybe that discussion indicates some revived interest in P2P use cases.

To be fair to Node, their package management is saner and more consistent than Python’s and their build/management tooling is far, far more mature.
Of people understood this then they would have to live with the unsatisfying reality that not all violators can be punished. When you do it this way and paint the technology as potentially criminal that they can get revenge on corporations that which is what is mostly artist types want

Not at all.

Sincerely asking, does your question intend to pre-suppose that everyone must have and express a unique perspective and no one can independently have anything in common? Or some other faux pas such a comment would run a-foul of?

When I saw original post, I had this comment. There was kinship with the parent post. Sometimes echoing your support with another comment is a valid comment too.

If you may want more novelty and context and details:

My professional experience includes working across multiple industries of bureaucrats, and that was my visceral reaction to the piece. Change usually means studying change, analysis, design and ultimately decision fatigue by committee.

There's many hard working and great bureaucrats. My statement tends to apply to the leadership and management layers. In terms of keepign things the same or very slow and tiny changes incrementaly, there's a lot of neat reading around institutionalization as it relates to not only government but bureaucracy here.

An exciting part is how the pandemic challenged and made it OK for bureaucracies to try things and to roll out programs that weren't fully thought out or known and update them regularly. In environments many people could not handle navigating.

Most of all I'm flattered by the downvotes.. happy to take those for the parent too. Perhaps I phrased it in a way that might have triggered some bureaucrats since they exist in enterprise, government, education, healthcare and more.

Or maybe it bothered the dopamine seekers in only novel and unique comments have worth.

Agreed. I've been "the backend engineer who works with the data engineers" for several years now and I've seen their general trend of re-inventing the wheel the hard way a number of times.

That's sad, hopefully something comes along that can brighten their day.
Perhaps, but it's hard to say. False positives are much more harmful than false negatives. I have peronally had Gmail flag a number of legit emails as spam, and those are just the ones I know about! It's almost certain that I have lost valuable messages because I didn't check the spam folder in time. These aren't transactional emails either, I'm talking about messages from real people that I know personally.

I would be willing to wade through a number of additional spam emails to avoid losing important ones but of course this is Google so there is no user facing dial to adjust the sensitivity. Users just have to trust that Google's generalized approach is well calibrated for them.
It's not surprising a big reason is AI. if there is any career that should be adapting to it is software engineering and development.
I honestly believe when Israel can mount a siege of Gaza in less than a few hours, have the city completely surrounded and cut off food, electricity, water, fuel, communications and bombard at will; it's not a war. It's a massacre as you have overwhelming force and sustain no military losses (since the siege began).

I'm sorry zionists thought that they could steal people's land, force them out of their homes, kill the ones who resist, put the rest behind a fence, treat them for generations with no humanity and act surprised when the oppressed hop the fence, return to their homes and still have the house keys to massacre the intruders and thiefs occupying their property.
Unlike Israel, Hamas doesn't have a fancy prison system to lock up Israeli children and show them what "humane treatment" really means.

But hey, I apologize if I can't continue this back-and-forth banter with you. I highly doubt I can change your mind, just as you won't be changing mine. The footage I'm seeing only confirms my belief that there's a slow and deliberate genocide happening. No amount of fancy rhetoric can justify bombing hospitals just to close a tunnel or destroy a weapons depot, or whatever excuse they come up with. It's as simple as that.

This level of carnage and punishment inflicted on an entire population is absolutely unjustified. Sadly, I have no power to stop it, but I won't let Israel get away with washing off all the blood with empty words of forgiveness and forgetfulness. This will forever stain your civilization, just like Germany has been marked by the Nazi regime. And unlike the Germans, you will never learn or grow from this. Instead, you'll keep playing the victim card.
This is completely pointless. No one questions the greenhouse effect (it is used to grow food all over the world). The question is whether or not additional CO2 that was put in the atmosphere by human activity over the last ~100 years is the primary cause of the ~1°C average surface temp increase in that time period.

An experiment for children isn't going o add anything of value here.
Labor or in this case kitchen experiment do not model the real wold.
And Correlation does not imply causation.

And finally when you establish a correlation, it does not have to be linear i.e. more of X does not mean it must case more of Y. Complex systems that are in some kind of balance often produce their own counter effect to change. This is the primary reason why such a stable balance could even form over long periods of time. The self correction properties of the whole system is very much a requirement for the balance to exists in a complex system like the climate.
Very cool. I must check this out.

No. "What you asked for" is a bold faced lie. By your account it shows you what you engaged with, even though you literally didn't ask for it.

And even "engaged with" is bullshit. What the hell does "engage with" even mean? What you really should be saying is it gives you more of what you pause scrolling on. That is neither asking for something, nor "engaging".

I have yet to use mine but pretty nice feel & build. I was going to buy the earlier & similar Zero 2, but this came out just before & has nice-to-have extra shoulder buttons & more configurability.

My day pack has a 8bitdo Lite 2 at I use ~1.5 times a month, which is a nice medium between this micro size & a regular controller size. It's very light & pretty thin, like a somewhat overwide pack of cards. I highly recommend it.
> Except to do that, we have to end almost all transportation, reduce electricity usage substantially, stop using all concrete, stop flying airplanes, stop eating beef, stop using petrochemical fertilizers, etc. It is not an exaggeration to say that billions of people would die within 12 months.

I think there is a lot possible still. People would not die from smaller cars, less travelling, and smaller houses. Until the 1960s, people almost never took an airplane. Airlines sold the idea that 2 to 3 long distance vacations per year are necessary for mental health.
are you just making this up?
I bought something off a third party seller on Amazon. They couldn't deliver and cancelled the order.

6 months later, I noticed I never got my money back. I jump on a support chat, and I got refunded, no questions asked.

My interaction with Amazon support has always been stellar, and refunded immediately whenever there is a problem with no fuss. Once I got a £500 monitor stolen by the driver, so the procedure was a little more complicated, but basically I had to sign a document saying I did not steal it nor lie about it, and got my money back in less than 10 days.

It feels like they always want to err on the side of the customer and that is refreshing to see.

I don't think storage for the captures carbon is really a limit. I think the main limit would be the materials to construct enough carbon capture facilities to do the job.

One nice thing about carbon capture is it doesn't matter much where you do it. The atmosphere does a great job of spreading CO2 nearly uniformly. You just need places with sufficient available energy and somewhere to put the carbon.

One possibility would be subtropical deserts. They have plenty of sunlight for energy and plenty of land that could be used without displacing many people.

Imagine carbon capture facilities that consist of a solar farm for power with the panels mounted a few meters off the ground, and we dump the captured carbon under the panels.

As calculated earlier, 1 gigaton of captured CO2 would give enough carbon to cover Texas to a depth of 0.017 cm. There are about 3000 gigatons of CO2 in the atmosphere, so if we captured all of it, that would cover Texas to a depth of 51 cm.

The 5 largest subtropical deserts have a combined area 22 times as big as Texas. If we covered just 10% of that area in solar farms to power carbon capture with a meter of room under the solar panels we'd have plenty of storage space.

At the efficiency of current solar farms and current carbon capture, they would be capturing about 10% more carbon per year than we are currently emitting. Cover 90% of those 5 deserts with such plants and in under a decade we could get back to preindustrial CO2 levels.

The big limit that I see on doing this is production of solar panels. At current production rates, covering 10% of the 5 largest subtropical deserts would use about 180 years worth of solar panels.

I have no idea if there are enough raw materials available to let us to increase that enough to make it worth considering.
> If you do so much IPC that you have to design your language around it you're probably doing it wrong...

I'm gonna have to disagree with this. Often when languages add features to their core, it allows for a very different (and often better) approach to writing code. Think Lisp with first class functions, or Rust with the borrow checker. Why should concurrency be any different? This feels like a Blub moment and I would highly recommend you give erlang or elixir a try, just to see what it is about.
I saved/earned Amazon $25M/yr also back in 2012. Because the project that was supposed to compute price matching/most-favored-nation status for vendors was never actually implemented. Despite it being in the standard contract for vendors for years, no one ever noticed that we never adjusted prices based on it. My own initiative noticing the problem, my own design and implementation, as a L3(or whatever the fresh grad role level is), and I got zip for it. Big part of my reason for leaving the company. I didn't expect people to fall to their knees and worship me, but it seemed like a project that should be a big part of a promotion, but I was passed over multiple times.
That's similar to the technique I sometime use when I hesitate between two spellings or expressions. I do a Google search of both, the one with the most results wins. There is a website called Googlefight that does that for you, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

It may not be correct by the book (though it usually is), but it is what people use.
Policies being rolled back are just the market forces adjusting itself in real time. I'm pretty sure the current trend of forcing ads on everyone will not be feasible, and I reaaaaally hope Google keeps pushing people until a peertube-like option can become a reasonable alternative to the current monopoly. I can even see "torrents for YouTube videos" becoming a thing if they keep enshitificating it.
It even found one occurence of an Austrian slang pronounciation of "Eichhörnchen": "Oachkatzl"

Though, in the video it is wrongly claimed that "Oachkatzlschwoaf" would mean squirrel, but in fact it means tail of a squirrel (Eichhörnchenschwanz).
"The people who hold the most power have a great deal of interest in us focusing on bettering ourselves instead of bettering our communities."

I may be out to lunch but, is a community not a group of individuals? And for an individual to make meaningful contributions to their community should they not first become the best version of themselves? If one cannot even improve themself, what gives them the moral authority to instruct others (a community) on how to improve or conduct themselves?

"Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world."
