Typically only the lowest form of nonfiction books are about conveying an idea. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Better books make an argument, which requires mustering evidence, or they tell a story, which requires unfolding a narrative. You could summarize A Bridge Too Far in a couple sentences, but your would not thus recreate the experience of reading it.
> We've got it good now, all things considered. I'm sure others feel differently, but I cannot complain.

/deadpan/

I can complain, and I do it all the time, especially on internet forums. It's not my fault other people haven't fixed my complaints, even though I've offered no assistance. That's their fault.

People say "you've got it good now", or "you're not helping", or "show us the source code", or "First world problems", or "I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire".

These people think I'm some sort of an entitled, self-righteous, hypocritical, bleep-hole.
My bank account was closed because I filled in a KYC form incorrectly, and they didn't have a process in place to follow up properly when this had occurred.

I'm tired of HN anecdata about "bank account was closed because of silly reason X". I sincerely doubt we are getting the full story. Step 1: Send a written complaint to the bank and use mail tracking. Then they cannot deny it was not received. Step 2: Report this to your local banking regulator.

Even way back in the day (1996) it was possible to hot-swap a CPU. Used to have this Sequent box, 96 Pentiums in there, 6 on a card. Could do some magic, pull the card and swap a new one in. Wild. And no processes died. Not sure if a process could lose a CPU then discover the new set.

> As for the others, if people listen to a football/movie/fashion/etc star for investment advice, I think they should know what to expect.

That was my first impulse, but then I realized that I would never do such a thing myself. And that really, the regulation should mainly be about protecting the interests of those that would. Adding a layer of bureaucracy and requiring promoters to due diligence, on the plus side it will help protect people, on the minus side it will cut into the margins of these celebrities and the industries around them, which could lead to the sector shrinking and worse entertainment. That tradeoff needs to be made with the people that stand to be affected the most in mind.
Spyglass looks interesting, providing a unified search GUI for which I use a bunch of CLI search tools (ripgrep, ripgrep-all, and now bogrep) as well as some simple bash scripts.

Somehow I still prefer some CLI-based tooling though which I can configure as needed instead of a fully-fledged GUI-based solution.
Data as investments in LLMs, art models, and AI startups?
Been working on an idea where people can use their data to invest in AI startups.

A lot of the platforms (MTurk) out there are geared towards getting companies a buttload of low quality data from workers on the platform, who don't get paid what's worth for their data.

We want to try and flip this concept on its head - basically, people can not only rent and sell their data to AI startups, but also have the ability to invest them as a % of profits for future AI products - earn % of profits directly attributable to the company's model (all relevant AI products, services) for some (ex: 4-5 yr) period once the company earns revenue, with options to profitably contribute more. For most cases, it will probably be some combo of the three.

Similar idea goes for research ($$ on any end product it'll be used for, particularly nice if open source) -- y'all just have to add some data and you can have a stake in an AI company, while they can source the data without much upfront liability. All companies are vetted, and can add extensions to process / verify data, and automatically accept the ones they like.

Essentially, data is the bottleneck for a lot of AI companies, and we wanted to see if we can enable y'all to help 'em build out their products while having a voice in their future LLM, art model, AI products, etc.

We chatted with a couple companies, and we felt a bit interest.

What do y'all think? Would you be down to invest your data in AI (assuming there's extensions for anonymize data, clear privacy standards, etc.)?

Your comment doesn't seem consistent, so I'm not sure if it's just disorganized or actually false.

You state that non-US healthcare "wouldn't have paid for this either", but later you mention "need to travel to the US because there are no [PB] centers" (which is true).
But then you continue "the doctor wouldn't have even considered it as a treatment option".

Now, I'm not an expert at PB treatment, but the fact that patients have to travel would suggest that at least some do that; I'm not sure if the treatment is partially or fully covered. But a quick Google seems to suggest that this option is known, and that there is lobbying to create such a center in Canada; and they acknowledge that the treatment, lasting 6-8 weeks in a distant city can be challenging.

But if it isn't an option considered or offered, why bother to build something with no demand?

If a publisher chooses to do a single store front, then fine w/e. I don't have a problem with that.

The corollary to this "if your account was abruptly closed with no explanation, it was a pile of SARs, so sorry" story is that when you're at an airport and weird stuff happens, the best boogeyman reason is air marshals.

Did your seat assignment abruptly change and the gate agent is evasive or outright refuses to say why? Nod knowingly. Say "oh, right, must be a FAM." Ask for what you want: "I'll just take the next flight for free", "I understand if there are upgrades available on my return", or just nod and wink. The GA won't be able to say whether or not you guessed right and it's much funnier that way.
People treat electrolytics more gently than their manufacturers intend. Voltage up to and even a bit beyond their rating doesn't bother them; you only need to leave margin for surges/spikes. If not for those, they are usually happy at 100% of rated voltage indefinitely.

What kills them is heat. No matter what the source is, internal heating must be managed if they're going to live. (They might still live a very long time, if they're high-end ones.) That means designing carefully around ripple currents. Ceramics in parallel can work magic here.

I kind of agree with your sentiment but your final note about murdered Russian officers needs a citation
No. Other than receiving a minimal by mail notification about picking up my stuff, there's been no further communication.

At the time of the raid, and when I rang the lead investigator (roughly once a month) to get a status update and ask a couple of questions, the only answer I ever got was that the IP address of my household was flagged a number of times over the course of a few years.

Similarly to this "I know what you download" site listing something I definitely haven't downloaded, it makes me very skeptical of the thoroughness of both the Police's source information and their ability to understand what it actually means (and therefore any ability to apply logical reasoning to implications of it - such as it's potential fallibility).

All information I've received has been because I asked questions. Nothing was given voluntarily.

Upon asking "whether this was over", the lead Investigator gave me the impression I was still a suspicious character because:

- I had "tor" on one of my computers

- I had visited and downloaded things from Mega (apparently frequently used for such materials)

- I had virtual machines.

This is the Police's level of understanding of technology. It's scary, it's sad, and it's disappointing, and I fucking hope I never get caught in their web of incompetence ever again.

I actually viscerally feel like I'm still under some amount of surveillance. But that might be just standard background paranoia (refer: Slartibartfast).

> What about catastrophic tsunami induced by asteroid impact? That's one of the theories in the context of that structure as Atlantis. There are people who think some of the geologic features surrounding that place lead to that conclusion. Comparable to the things found in North-America, where there is no doubt at all that these are traces of catastrophic flooding at laaarge scale.

It's ~400m in altitude, approximately 500-600km inland, and not along a major watercourse like the Mississippi river that might funnel tsunamis inland. So... no, it's not plausible for this structure.

I found a speech by Stephen Hawking on the matter:

Quick summary: At the start of the speech he refutes a claim that death panels exist in the UK NHS and that they would have let him die. Of course the strongest refutation is the fact that he was at the time -in fact- quite alive; thanks to the NHS.

Whenever I was told this growing up, I would respond with "Why?".

It was not always appreciated.
AI will be a net harm for us:

1. It will take over many creative pursuits, taking away the feeling of usefulness from many people.

2. It will cause humans to be too independent from each other, and remove the sense of community (technology does this to some extent, only AI enhances the effect much more so)

3. It will concentrate wealth into the hands of tech companies, who relentlessly make life worse by continually making consumerism more efficient and thereby destroying our connection with the natural world

4. It will create disinformation and be a tool of manipulation and crime that will be hard to counteract (such as spoofing, etc.)

5. It will foster a world where there is far too much information, which itself plays on our basal instinct to collect information. This instinct was adaptive in the time of information scarcity, but is now maladaptive

And many other reasons....
This is just a proposed extension.
These two options are not mutually exclusive.

When you want to limit the max CPU time available to a container use quotas (--cpus).
When you want to set relative priorities (compared to other containers/processes), use shares.

These two options can be combined, it all depends on what you need.
>and they still can't design a proper camera

They did, it's just not one you like.

Most games that position the camera behind and centred have to zoom out or go weirdly high so you can still see what the character is looking at/heading towards. The off-centre camera allows you to be at the same height/viewpoint as the character and still see what's in front.

Look at the Red Dead Redemption 2 camera position when walking vs Alan Wake 2, totally different viewpoints. Both are different artistic choices, I'd say both work well for each game.
Well, if you're interested in written materials in particular, the Maya and Aztec codices were in abundance at the time of the Spanish arrival, as were the Incan quipu (which seem to have been an actual writing system and not just an accounting method). They didn't survive contact - the Spanish burned as many of them as they could get their hands on, and today we've only really got a handful of extant examples left. That's unfortunately the answer for what happened to a lot of New World culture (although the climate and terrain deserves its due especially in Central America, where there's oral history of large cities which we're only now finding by lidar because the jungle's so aggressive).

The Olmec are an interesting case here, too - beautiful, just stunning sculptural works, going back to ~2000-1500BC. There's really quite a bit of cultural artifacts found and to be found.
Wow, the projection here is blatant! Well done. Also, "a good reason" may be so in the court of (some) public opinion, but not so much in the court of law. No matter how justified one's reasons are, if they lead to somebody's death it is a case for manslaughter, is it not?

It was later drummed up by pretty much all masking enthusiasts that not wearing a mask is equal to murdering a grandma or two, and some "immunnocompromised" people on top. Surely, grand-scale messaging from position of high authority that "you don't need to wear a mask" will have a quantifiable number of associated deaths, and a very substantial one, under such assumption? Why the perpetrators of the message aren't put on trial for manslaughter? After all, the court may find that they had a "good reason" and acquit them of charges! I will have some basis to believe "public health" messaging, but not before such case is heard. What is the chance it will be?

I know it will never happen.
That's overly simplistic. AML laws serve more purposes than simply catching money laundering, they discourage the underlying crime in the first place. Discouraging that can't be counted, yet you are saying is "AML doesn't catch anything!" But you can't prove the negative.

AML also serves to buttress public support in the financial system because the public interest is being served, and at least recently, without AML the housing crisis would be significantly worse.

Inocel has a compact 300KW hydrogen fuel cell that weighs less than 100KG and claims "up to" 60% efficiency.

https://inocel.com/product/

It is possible the internal combustion engine+drivetrain is cheaper but it is unlikely to be lighter than the fuel cell and electric motor, and quite unlikely to be as reliable. Add a small regenerative battery pack or ultracapacitor and efficiency will increase further. Reciprocating engines seem quaint at this point.
