Manipulating the environment afaik is to increase your chances of survival.
On a very apt topic for HN readers, though, who likely enjoy math to some degree and have heard of LLMs. What if the post inspires someone to look into revisiting actively learning math as an adult? Is that so bad?
I found ways around tobacco laws when I was a teenager.

Thank God for those laws, though. If I had easy access to tobacco at 14, I would probably still be a smoker today.
> The real question is whether it is a bad outcome or not.

It's definitely bad. The U.S. won't even have the world's biggest navy pretty soon because of that. And there are tons of scenarios where the U.S. is economically hosed because of some international conflict. Not only does the U.S. not make things, it doesn't know how to.

This is probably 100% incorrect in every neuroscience way, but I've heard schizphenia describes as the metaphorical opposite of OCD.

In OCD, you can turn a light off 10 times, see it happen with your own eyes, and still not feel like it happened in any way that will make you feel ok.

In schizophrenia, the slightest suggestion that something could have possibly happened feels more true than anything you've ever felt in your life. Even if you didn't see it, even if it requires 3 hypothetical and unlikely jumps to make it true, it feels completely true and almost nothing can convince you otherwise.
No reason. Countries like Japan have reasonable zoning, meaning industrial uses are separate, but commercial and residential is largely interspersed. Which is great!

AlphaFold’s potential in revolutionizing drug discovery, especially in the realm of psychedelics for antidepressants, marks a significant paradigm shift.
Oddly enough a Daily Mail article on this topic had much more information. [1] What interesting times we live in. Anyhow, one interesting and critical datum they mentioned is that the majority of minors on Instagram already pretend to be adults. I'd assume that's probably to sidestep whatever existing protections currently exist.

Hey nobody wants even a single child being harassed. There is lots of harassment in real life too and it can happen on any street corner. But most people would agree that recording everything on every street corner 24/7 is not acceptable in a free society. As more and more of our lives have an online component, online services also can not prevent 100% of crime and lesser unpleasantness and still remain powerful enough to fulfill user needs and enable running of free society.

There are both unique challenges and unique opportunities online. Child accounts can be more locked down. But children can lie and use parent's id/phone/etc to create adult accounts. Plus government regulation can either discourage a service from offering child accounts in the first place or make these too restrictive to be useful, forcing everyone to lie.

Ultimately parents and perhaps schools have to educate children on realistic dangers they can face both online and on street corners and supervise them until they are ready to responsibly use these spaces alone.
Bizarrely, harder at FAANG: so many people just graduated from a T30 uni or master's program in STEM and are kinda see it as "caring too much"/ it looks like you're obsessing about work
And the app is at https://speechpolish.com

What it essentially does is:
1) transcribes your voice recording
2) edits them with GPT-4
3) turns the edited version into speech with OpenAI's or ElevenLab's Text-To-Speech.

The "house of the future" in the Netherlands had this in the 80s.

It also had a non-blurred glass toilet door, clearly the future was imagined to be very exhibitionistic.
It outputs a lot of CO2, and there are a lot of trees to construct low-rise apartments with.
If people are forking it, it would probably be worth mirroring it to GitLab, Sourcehut, Codeberg, or some other place that isn't GitHub, since they could likely very easily remove all the forks at once if asked.
Sorry, but the only thing that will change my mind is a significantly casualty different between single stairwell and dual-stairwell buildings accounting for building age, construction type, property value, and occupant demographics.

By not quitting you are missing out on something else too. I quit playing an addictive RPG game on my phone in the evenings (no pay-to-win IAP fortunately!). Soon thereafter, I came across an interesting hobby and now focus on it in my spare time.

FB was making me feel annoyed. Quitting it helped a lot. With HN it is a bit harder because some content here is actually useful. I find avoiding comments on submissions about layoffs, Google, Meta, Apple, lawsuits, etc. helps me be more positive.
That happened to me a lot more as a child but i think still sometimes as an adult. I remember a dream just bouncing a basketball over and over. It's weird.
I've got an engineering degree but I've been thinking about trying to relearn this stuff. Sometimes it felt like I was just surviving rather than getting any of the skills to stick.

>> I would like to see a donation/optional subscription model with tiered features as is seen in Patreon/Kickstarter etc. with the distinction that the tiers are community wide instead of being bound to the individuals donating.

Can you rephrase this as;

"I'd like to see a model where I can pay a lot, and thus allow 10 other users for free" ?

How about something along the lines of "it costs $10 per useful per month to make the platform sustainable. A subscription is $100. When you subscribe you pay to keep 9 other users on a free account."

In other words, my question is, are upu in the 10% paying for everyone, or are you in the 90% getting it for free?
Quartz isn't based on DPS - CoreGraphics drawing commands are similar to PDF but the window management was always all pixel based - and IIRC DPS was almost all Adobe and NeXT didn't even have source for it.
> abstraction stops being relevant

I found this to be the points where abstractions being learned today are only precursors for abstractions that will be learned tomorrow. Another way to put it is at the stage where you're learning to make tools that are themselves only used to make other tools, not used to get results outside of the domain of tool making.

These stages have no apparent relevance outside of math, and if your style of memory formation depends on making many inferential links to laterally associated concepts, moreso than making a few direct links between vertically associated concepts, it can be rough going. A lot of what feels like following memorized pirate treasure map directions in the dark, with no sense of what obstacles you're working around or even the general direction where the treasure lies to give you a sense of bearing and progress.

I think it's interesting but I've also never had to brake quickly with it and I worry my brain would fail to jump back to the brake. I suspect it'll end up being more dangerous in the long run unless cars auto brake better.

90s? You're off by a bit. The current Department of Education started in 1980, but it came out of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, founded in 1953. That, in turn, came out of the FSA which included an Office of Education (1939). Prior to that, the Office of Education had been part of the Department of the Interior. Before that it was its own Department, starting in 1867.

Though "90s" is delightfully vague. You're either off by nearly 1800 years, you're very old and meant 1890s and were only off by a few years, or you really meant the 1990s and were off by nearly 130 years.

Not uncommon at all, it sounds like you’re describing the literal “Fever Dream” phenomena, where you have strange and intense dreams and thoughts while asleep and drifting off.
There are plenty of other ways to communicate with friends. My generation used text messaging, the generation before used phone calls. Both are perfectly acceptable methods of communicating that don't expose children to the many problems that social media creates.
The bindings you mention are useful but unfortunately there are no CUA bindings for things like

These are some of the things that make Vim/Evil stick for many folks once they begin using it in earnest.
I asked my daughter the oncologist about this, and the better way of doing this is not to use boron as the payload, but rather some very powerful toxin. The toxin gets linked to a tumor-specific antibody. There are lots of targeted drugs of this kind being developed for various tumors.
> Why would they build APIs for you? Why would they distribute your app at all. What happens for example if we pass a law tomorrow saying "Sorry Apple, you can only collect enough for credit card fees".

They would do it because they make massive margins off hardware. Apple can't build good software and third party iOS devs are a major reason why the iPhone is successful.
True. I'm a huge VR enthusiast working in IT and even some VR/AR projects.

And I wouldn't even consider this unless it drops below 2000€. It's just insanely priced. Here in Europe with tax it'll be way beyond 4000€. And I own multiple Quests. And a gaming pc with 4090. All those added up didn't cost that much.

Of course it won't be as good at a €1500-2000 price point but I don't care. If it's three times as good as the quest 3 for 3 times the price, it would be amazing.

But my point is, if even an enthusiast like me won't even consider it.. And I travelled to a different country to wait for hours before opening to buy the first iPad :) A product I wasn't even as passionate about as AR/VR.

They're clearly aiming at the richest 1% even in the western world. But those are not necessarily the kind that would have affinity for this stuff. And the people that have enough money to buy it as a toy will have a lot of money to buy a lot more toys all competing for their attention.

I think a lot of these are going to get bought and end up as an expensive showpiece without seeing much use. The amount of people who have both the affinity to make the most of it and the purchasing power to actually buy it will be so few.
> In plain English, this means that we will reserve and manage our own CVEs in the future directly against the CVE database with no middle man, and also that we have a scope for CVEs that is our territory: curl and libcurl

Combining this and the announcement of the same for PostgreSQL, would be even better if each was the authority for the other. I’d trust either project to classify the severity of an issue in the other.

Being able to classify your own CVEs has a bit of a fox watching the hen house vibe to it.
It would probably be the OS' `getaddrinfo` or `gethostname` that does this: Python rarely reimplements system level calls, which means it relies on the system's configuration.

If TTL of 1s was respected, they would be cached for 1s, but it's not uncommon for DNS query libraries and especially caching DNS servers to not fully respect TTL anyway: tbh, that might explain some of the downtime they've seen.
Cool, but if I want raw fish I'll just not put it in the oven I think.
This seems like the biggest factor to me. I can't even count the number of stories I've see that made me think that I would never ever want any significant income or business to be dependent on Apple. It would be more surprising to me if everyone was clamoring to jump on a new untested Apple platform given their behavior over the years.
Yep, I think it's a useful phenotype, not a disease unless the degree to which the otherwise useful traits manifest causes one to struggle to live a happy life.

> You cannot assume that the security of a composite crypotsystem is max(system1, ..., systemN), i.e. that bolting a secure system to an insecure one is at least as secure as the most secure system.

But, the scenario described - that you've responded to - isn't the max of an unordered system; it is the max of a composite system with a specific order. In other words, perceived weakest system is run always before perceived strongest system.

And, if you are saying it still doesn't matter, and if payload1->weak_crypto->strong_crypto causes a vulnerability, what keeps the same vulnerability from occurring naturally with some payload2->strong_crypto that doesn't use weak_crypto?

In other words, why would you choose strong_crypto if it has vulnerabilities with certain payloads but not other payloads? If these vulnerabilities are truly known for certain payloads, then why not inject a decision to avoid strong_crypto if the payload is known to cause vulnerabilities?

Apologies for the first-grade level questions and fervor. Maybe this is why crypto is hard. Or maybe things that are this hard to explain and understand should just not be depended on. I've experienced both.
Or ubiquitous. When you are selling a skill that is as common as the ability to write JavaScript, then you aren't selling much, and you're very replaceable.

Learning a very niche skill is harder. Finding jobs with very niche skills is harder. But once you've done that you become very hard yo replace. (Your job might go away, but there's seldom outright replacement. )

Plus of course some protection from offshoring.

> Child accounts can be more locked down. But children can lie and use parent's id/phone/etc to create adult accounts.

Teenagers can also use a fake ID to buy alcohol, but we don't use that as an excuse for not having laws preventing children from buying alcohol.

I'm reminded of patio11's The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero [0]. It is worthwhile to have laws that are designed to substantially reduce the amount of harm done. It is also worthwhile to be aware that there is a threshold beyond which those laws would do more harm than good.

However, just because we can imagine laws beyond that threshold does not mean that our current laws are optimal. There's a delicate balance to be struck, but from the evidence that I've seen so far I'd say our laws regarding social media and children are way too far on the permissive side.

It's definitely hard to see how those constitute as '20% projects' for engineering, maybe the author meant 'somebody' in a very broad sense, including the corporate development teams.
I find it to be the opposite. Re-gen braking is very close to engine braking in a manual transmission car (before the modern "rev hang" tuning to prevent people from stalling) - I love it.

I still drive a manual transmission car, but don't mind the one-pedal if I were to switch to an EV.
Pattern matching your lead investigator's thought process yields the following generalization:

> Anything that evades oversight and investigation or makes police's job harder is suspicious

They don't actually consider privacy as legitimate or justified. They think protecting oneself is "suspicious", criminal behavior. It's just like the guy who hires a lawyer instead of talking to police -- obviously guilty. In their minds, upstanding people just expose everything for all to see without a care in the world and let the chips fall where they may. They see themselves as people who are weighed down by checks and balances and basic civil rights and other such forms of worthless, meaningless red tape. Just think how many criminals this guy might arrest if he had limitless power like the NSA. He totally wouldn't get caught spying on his wife like all the others, no sir.
oh you're right, I had overestimated WeChat.. and QQ by a lot. TIL

how many of those FB and Insta accounts are bots? not zero, but probably not a billion, either
I feel the opposite: I feel that only people who aren't used to engine braking will not find OPD to be completely natural.
I took a brief detour late last year to study "Linear Algebra: Theory, Intuition, Code", and to my surprise it stuck pretty well. The author said the pre-reqs were just "basic high school math", but I'm glad I had recently done lots of algebra and geometry, as the difference between that and some vague memories of stuff I did 30 years ago in school is pretty wide.

I haven't started any 3d game projects yet. For that, my plan is to do the webgpufundamentals.org course first. Scanning the TOC, I think I would be able to attempt it from what I learned from the linear algebra book.

That said, I'm doing AOPS Intermediate Algebra at the moment, and the Precalc text covers more advanced trig and matrix stuff, so I'm thinking it would be good to finish at least to there before starting to apply the knowledge.
I'm a bit surprised to read that one-pedal driving actually saves energy; I've always assume that having once converted electricity to motion, it's far more efficient to just coast when you take your foot off the pedal than to convert it back to electricity. If I'm trying to drive my EV efficiently, I put it in D mode (behaves like a regular auto transmission, more or less, but regen on braking) and do my best to stay at the speed limit on uphill or level ground, coasting up a bit above the limit on downhills, and letting myself coast in to a red light instead of keeping my foot on the pedal until I'm close & then braking.
The problem with Wave was that it requires a network effect to be of any use, and Google was very stingy with invites early on. Interest had died down by the time they started allowing more people to join.
This is just factually not true. There is plenty of empty homes, apartments and condos to house everyone. There are many units kept empty rather than lower prices. It is a myth that supply and demand sets prices.
Children also have legitimate security needs. Just wait for a massive service hack where all private information and racy texts/photos teens have been voluntarily sending to each other are made public for all to see. If server can't read messages, it can't leak them.
They have a disincentive to sell to other countries at a discount if those countries allow medical tourism from the US. They don't want US patients taking advantage of the lower cost there.
But did they ever even cover their costs? If a business is stable for its current size, and then VCs push you to grow and that kills the company, then yes, that company was killed by VC pressures. However, AFAIK, ello never made much money at all, which is the most proximate reason they failed.

There are probably only 3 social networks I've gotten a lot of value from: YouTube, Reddit, and HN. HN has contributed massively to my career by exposing me to so many different ideas and concepts.

It actually filled a void that Slashdot left. Something happened around the time I started visiting HN more where ./ became this really weird echochamber and hot takes were abound. Believe it or not, it seems to me like HN is one of the few places where there is a lot of self-moderated and rational discourse.
Looked at the Compare Chart. They just placed a few things like "Data Vault" or "Private Downloads" without any explanation what are those.

Also they are so inaccurate. Like saying that Phones cannot play youtube videos in background. Well, you can just install an app, and it will be able to do that.

Adblocking is not available for Safari, Chrome or Firefox? You don't need to be an IT person to figure out how to enable them.

And how about adding to the chart a few more things, things that I actually use

- Extensions support - nope

- Profiles support - nope

- Bookmarks - maybe nope - don't see them mentioning them sowewhere

- Integration between devices - nope

- Reading list - nope (I need that more than videos)

- And there is probably more.
