But the content has been getting higher quality no?

I feel like we have such a huge selection of high quality TV series these days that rival the quality of blockbuster movies, at least compared to say a decade ago when we were stuck with basically just network tv series.

Like we had HBO and their original series and they were quality. But now we have a bunch of new studios and services creating quality on par with that.

That's how I feel about it at least. AppleTV+ for example has been pumping out some real quality shows. So has Amazon and even Netflix from time to time.
So weird that they all disappeared! And carved “Croatoan” into a tree before that happened! I cannot imagine where they might have gone.
For employers who are big enough maybe. A big percentage of freight though is handled by small employers and owner operators.

If a particular unsafe practice produces an extra $1 million dollar accident every 200k hours of driving time, a small one man operation isn’t likely to see that happen over the course of a career. And even if they do, they may not have enough data to notice the correlation.

A company with 1000 drivers will likely deal with it once per month.

I read the book. SBF doesn't come across as a good guy (or a bad guy either). He comes across as a smart/dumbass, who doesn't understand probability and risk beyond the math level: given 51% odds of making the world better or 49% of destroying it, he says repeatedly "I would take the 51% odds every time". That to me, basically explained his entire, dumbass, business plan: just be slightly better at crypto at scale, assuming that's all you need to 'win'. No risk mitigation, no management whatever, because that's boring. Just keep playing until you win.

Now, that's not Evil with a capital "E", it's just dumb; in fact, criminally dumb because being a dumbass with other people's money (even if it turns out 100% of it can be recovered), is still fraud. SBF belongs in jail. Lewis' book, although not satisfying in the end, actually explained the whole FTX shitshow for me.
I don't expect anyone to see my comments unless they're really looking since I've been shadow banned for many years now - so I appreciate your reply.

To be clearer regarding my questions:

- What happened to Project X (supposedly coreboot++ for latest AMD CPUs)? It seems dead, despite being more reported on than Oxide's attempts in working with AMD (to achieve the same outcomes, presumably - what's the difference?). Loads of well meaning people have approached this with virtue, innocence and skills; perhaps another approach is needed that fully respects the dynamic between the user, the chip manufacturers and the governments and banks they're in debt to.

- Does Oxide attempt to sandbox, completely remove or 'verify as benign' aspects like the PSP? For example, if someone could verify that the PSP cannot possibly be affected over the network, then peace of mind could be more affordable regarding things like supply chain attacks and bad actors with AMD/Intel/Apple management engine secrets.

Not referring to software lock-in, just hardware. And it isn't very nefarious like other hardware lock-in (serialization, see Rossmann Group). Just hardware on the rack-level: replacing oxide gear & upgrading oxide gear (not sure about repair, that could be easy). And if the offering were of a less blobby architecture, then many of us would be happy to pay a bit more for the hardware as a system. However, if the hardware platform is FOSS, then it won't be unnecessarily difficult to mix and match and integrate the Oxide gear with other DC-class gear.
Ask HN: Getting back into networking and attending events
I have been trying to get back into attending in person networking events and conferences. I am finding it challenging to motivate myself to attend them. For reference, I am trying to attend a few in SF and just the thought of driving of taking Caltrain from San Jose puts me off.

I know that I need to get back in the game to launch my startup but its like I am dragging my soul.

Any tips?
Yes.

I have a few LCDs that work natively, but you can always use OSSC or something cheaper but less universal
Are other materials (e.g. aluminum, titanium, carbon) not real, or not as real as steel? Can you explain in what sense are they less real?

> Second, it its truly a safety hazard then it disincentivizes employers from doing it.

When have employers ever cared about safety except when mandated by law? These things were all legally codified because people got hurt or died, not because companies wanted to be "nice"
The more ways you avoid utilizing the word "use," the more others will perceive that you're leveraging English with class and sophistication.
they dampen vibrations better than steel and titanium too tbh. I've never understood the "ride feel" thing about metal frames. Metal tubes are very resonant. that ride feel is just the same vibrations that make on 23m tires _feel_ faster compared to 30m but the science is clear that high frequency vibrations are bad.
Perhaps you don't, but dismissing an entire field of science...

Well, if you can make a strong statement without any supporting argument, so can I.
Evergrande is a massive property development company. Real estate makes up a massive (20-25%) portion of China's GDP, as well as a very large portion of individuals' net worth. The expected impact is a cascading housing crisis where homes that people have already paid for don't get built, the company bankrupts, and millions of individuals (or their banks) each lose hundreds of thousands of dollars per unbuild home.

>How does the PGP verif work? I'm not used to it.

I will try to give a simplified explanation as best I can. PGP verification is a vital process to learn. Once learned it is easy to verify yourself. You need to know PGP if you are visiting .onion sites, it is not optional if you want any certainty.

The information in a PGP signed message is encrypted using a password (the private key) in such a way that only a different password (the public key) could unlock it. Once you have a trustworthy public key from a site/individual, you can check to see if a message was signed using the correct password in the matching private key.

If truly kept private, you can trust it is a message from the same person who gave you the the public key to begin with. That is how we know .onion urls are from the owners of the sites.

If the address ever needs to change, they will sign a new message that you can know for certain came from someone in possession of the SAME private key as the first time. Same if there is a new key pair, they sign it with the old one too, so you can trust the new one equally as the old. Well, you can trust it as much as you trust the owner to not have shared it or been hacked, bribed, or arrested.

Dark.fail tries to be someone you can trust. If you did trust them, you could trust all the addresses on their site, and thereby the public keys listed on those sites to be trustworthy as well. Dark.fail gives their seal of approval that everything belongs to whom it should on their site.

Their tool is just checking to make sure the keys match up correctly.

You cannot trust Dark.fail's seal of approval. They have proven you cannot trust them. Do not visit their site anymore. You always need to verify for yourself. Learn how.
I'm going to be level with you here: it sounds as if you're being dishonest.

> Huh. Sounds like almost any other religion.

I preempted this comment and you ignored it. No, it's not like any other religion, because "Brights" is not a "movement" of atheism (unlike say Catholicism for Christianity) because the Brights just happen to be a group of people who happen to be atheists, and have no major influence on atheism nor are they any kind of authority over even a fraction of atheists (nor do they claim to be). They don't prescribe anything over atheism nor do they hold any authority over it, not even a tiny fraction of it.

More importantly, atheism is not even a religion. Yes, I know you are going to claim this (it's your angle, and it's best if you admit it early on. No point hiding it. It's been attempted and refuted thousands of times before, so let's get on with it).

> This is incorrect. Agnosticism is the lack of belief in a god. Contrast this with atheism, which is the belief in the lack of a god.

You are wrong, but that's splitting hairs anyway. Before we go down this rabbit hole though, best get back on track and examine your assertion that there's an atheist "historical fiction". You haven't spoken one word about this, and instead got sidetracked into pointless distractions.

> There's as much an Atheism movement as there is a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, etc.

Do you want to argue honestly? I know you don't believe this. You can make a (mistaken, in my opinion) argument about atheism as a secular religion, or about atheist "beliefs", but no-one will seriously consider atheism a movement similar to Christianity, Islam, etc.

If you want to be taken seriously, make serious arguments. Otherwise you just come across as dishonest.
Which big businesses are that? And how many categories of sustainable mid-sized companies creating a healthy competing market were hurt with VC cash flood, where VC fed companies dumped prices, killed healthy competition and then died themselves (together with whole product categories) when the VCs lost interest because they weren't a unicorn?
I don't really disagree with your points, but I would still advocate for steel over carbon because the extra cost of good carbon isn't worth it. You're saving a few seconds on a climb. Recreational cycling has normalized spending thousands of dollars for such incremental improvements, but when you take a step back it's pretty hard to justify.
People who ride carbon mountain bikes absolutely baffle me. The thing is going to get seriously chewed up if you're having fun and pushing your limits, why make it a glass canon to boot?!
Elections have nothing to do with presidential succession. It will be a party decision, Harris is a guaranteed loss, and M. Obama is a possible win.
it's an expression used by people who like steel bikes. the other materials are indeed real, lol. https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/blog/steel-is-real-but-why-is...
Lines of succession are a separate thing from winners of elections. If Biden were to die before election day, that doesn't mean Harris would be on the ticket as the presidential nominee. I'd wager against that for sure.

So who would be tapped to fill in for the recently-deceased candidate? Could be Harris, or Obama, or a dozen other hopefuls.

As I said your mileage may vary. This looks like something that can be improved and an exception. I'd rather have imperfect decentralized information checking than centralized information checking that is know to be partisan, biased and easily bought. But please downvote me more as it shows that what you're truly in favor is censorship and monopoly over narrative.
I too ride titanium and have ridden my share of both time trial and racing bikes made of carbon.

There is no speed benefit for a non professional on a carbon frame, but wheels and positioning are a totally different story.

I ride titanium only these days because it looks good and its a tiny bit more soft than carbon, so for longer rides its more comfortable.

Bit I ride 40mm corima wheels or 60mm dt Swiss when I need to go fast in the bunch. And that makes the most difference along with my posture on the bike.

And if you lose 2 kg you can ride on a cheaper frame and get the same result due to your own weight.

Cycling for amateurs is more about looking good, egos, and spending money than it is to make the sacrifices around what it takes to go really really fast.

But ride your bike. It makes one happy.
You do have to sideload, and that will turn off plenty of people, but probably not most of the people here. It's just a matter of following the instructions on the Sidequest website. For my use, just putting F-Droid on it gives me access to everything I would want, including other app stores. After that, everything is installed and updated like any other Android device. I wish the interface supported more than running 3 apps side-by-side, like pinning apps to walls of environments, which Apple seems to be doing. I'm sure that Meta will end up copying popular features of the Vision Pro in time, just like Android and iOS have been copying each other for years now.
That, and ignoring the other downsides of a hacked together device - noise and power consumption.

The Winix 5500/5300 are pretty great. Super quiet and use 5-8 watts at setting 3 of 4. Box fans can't really compete there.

This experiment could use an additional negative control: Fan with no filter.

There are many possible explanations for the observed data, for example, the air movement through the fan changes the static charge of the smoke particles, causing them to cling to objects in the room. Or, the smoke particles could be binding the plastic blades of the fan. Or, distributing the smoke throughout the room dilutes the smoke concentration at the sensor. For fun, ask your TA for the full list of possible hypotheses!

At this point, we can't say that the HEPA filters are causal. The tape versus no tape experiment produced unexplained and surprising results, which is even more reason to run careful negative controls.

Now, if we could easily label the smoke particles, e.g., using a fluorophore, and measure their distribution after filtering, we'd know exactly where they're going.

It would be nice to have a site like electionbettingodds.com but with intervals rather than point preditions.

Given the betting odds it's possible to calculate upper and lower bounds on the probabilities. Ideally you would take into account the fees and the opportunity cost of having your money locked in the bet. The bounds would be the range in which it wouldn't be possible to make an expected profit by betting either way.

The advantage would be that instead of an absurd point estimate like "Michelle Obama has a 6.90% of winning the election" you'd get something like "the probability of Michelle Obama winning the election is between 7.0% and 0.01%". Which makes it clear that while the upper bound can't be driven to 0, the lower bound is perfectly sensible.
> I'm still on the fence about government doing a parent's job here

The issue is, as a parent who is not very technical, how do they _safely_ audit their child's social media use?

I am reasonably confident that I could control my kid's social media habit, but only up to a point. there isn't anything really stopping them getting their own cheap phone/signing in on another person's machine.

The problem is, to safely stop kids getting access requires either strong authentication methods to the ISP. ie, to get an IP you need 2fa to sign in. But thats also how censorship/de-anonymisation happens.
Just to be clear, because parenting is hard you want to legislate how other parents are able to raise their children so that it's easier for you to get the behavior you want? I think all parents should take this approach.

* Having trouble getting your children to go to church because their friends don't? Let's just legislate mandatory church attendance so that will remove the rationale for kids whose friends don't attend!

* Having trouble getting your kids to eat healthy because all their friends get to eat and drink whatever they want? Let's outlaw sodas so kids won't have to feel peer pressure!

* You think your kid is playing too many video games? Why not just pass legislation that restricts all video game usage so your kid doesn't feel left out!

Telling your kids no is part of being a parent. Explaining to your children why they aren't allowed to do some things that other kids do is part of being a parent. It seems we have an abundance of parents who don't want to actually be a parent and would rather legislation was passed so they don't have to say no to their kids.

I went from a (heavy) steel gravel bike running 700x42mm tires to a carbon fiber bike (frame, fork, stem, bars, wheels) with 700x38mm tires. There's such a vast difference in comfort on gravel roads that it's difficult to fully quantify. I still ride a titanium road bike, because it's plenty fast and I'm not as interested in comfort on those rides.
Prediction markets are stupid, fundamentally.

If you have some deep subject knowledge to make a prediction, your bet will be drowned by others. Sure, you can make a buck from your prediction, but you won't get instantly rich, and you won't be able to make these kinds of bets consistently.
Navigators used tables to determine the longitude that depend on the day. The theory[0] is that because their flight involved multiple day changes, Noonan might've done some on the fly calculation that plugged star positions into the wrong day's table, putting them off by 1 degree of longitude.

I think the standards applied a normal citizen and a government official tasked with enforcing the law can reasonably be different. Most employers have standards and this person's employer was the government. Those standards are even more important because misconduct by government officials can lead to the kinds of injustice you seem to be worried about.
> because most IVF clinics will implant two embryos at a time

This is very country dependent and is actually changing quite rapidly.

I believe these days in the USA standard of care is single embryo transfer. It’s well known that twins are a much higher risk pregnancy:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5846681/

FWIW when my wife and I went through the IVF process our provider (RMA, who are basically a large US-wide franchise) informed us that multiple embryo transfer was not an option offered by their clinic (not that we would have chosen it, but point is it wasn’t presented as a choice).

It's competition. Competition made US what it is and now the US economy has moved from competing on product quality to competing on who buys a better lawyer and politician to block competing companies from existing. Or just buying them.

I wonder how much money is burned in the economy just paying people to write EULAs, laws and service agreements to more effectively avoid liability and screw over customers vs. how many is actualy going into improving products and services?

> Microsoft displays a big blue accept button to encourage Windows users to enable the feature, with a darker “not now” button if you want to opt out.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, and “dark patterns” are a very surface level observation of a product, so forgive me for yelling into the HN void but… I am still so annoyed seeing “not now” in a UI. It’s so ubiquitous. I know why it’s like that, I’ve been in meetings where I’ve discussed it with UI design folk. You want to make sure users aren’t stressing about making some final un-revokable decision before they even use the app. People think it’s actually a user respecting decision.

I still hate it. My proudest achievement at work in 2023 was getting an up-sell pop up to say “no” with details about where to find the deal again in the billing page displayed underneath the button.
The reason time travel movies don't make sense, while absolutely lots of fun to watch, is because the Sun is travelling through space. If you were to hypothetically build a time machine and set it for any given year, you would materialize in a hard vacuum. So, you need more than a time machine, you also need a spacecraft to be able to fly to where the Earth's previous position is. Chemical propulsion won't do it, you need something with significant velocity and energy.

Unless of course, you are able to enter specific astronomical coordinates to appear in and match velocities. Would suck if you got the coordinates right, but were off on the velocity by 1000 km/hr.
> The faux-open models mean the models can't be used in competing products.

Just because certain entities can't profitably use a product or obtain a license doesn't make it not-open. AGPL is open, for an extreme example.

This argument is also subjective, and not new - "Which is more open BSD-style licenses or GPL?" has ben a guaranteed flameware starter for decades.
