I brought up Tyson because I watched a video recently where this guy argues that this whole perspective is an especially American phenomenon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD0S1rH8AiE

I'm sympathetic to this even if this lethargic attitude goes back to the religious period as you say. We can at least find the roots of it in the Enlightenment with Newton's "hypotheses non fingo".
> The former is cheap enough that yes, they would engage for 15 minutes.

No, they wouldn't. This isn't "hey, when they call some random number and talk to a grandma that will never buy their stuff/scams, is wasting 15 minutes that once a big deal for them".

It's 15 minutes on every call, or enough that they can't filter down to those who will end up sending money.

> The latter are smart enough to understand what's going on so that they'd hang up.

That's debatable. But even if they are smart enough, please describe what logic you think they're using that they can tell pre-recorded voice responses from a live person? What exactly would go on in one of those calls? Did his "oh sure, uh huh" sound a little too much like the last one?

They're not supergeniuses.
I'd rather not use something that's less convenient, less consistent, and generally worse.
These are some fair points. There definitely wasn't an intention of "growth hacking", but just trying to get a lot of things done with only a few people in a short period of time. Requiring admin access really sucks though and is something we've wanted to get rid of for a while.
ok, so, I think i am trusting fewer people if I just run the bash script provided by the people whose software i want to run
If I immediately hear sound from the caller it's usually a valid call. If I wait several seconds and it's just quiet, it's an automatic dialer waiting for a voice response. I found it highly effective at weeding out spam calls.
> RISC-V built a lot of traction very fast and was affordable and is now starting to be competitive with ARM, so it has different circumstances around it.

And, N=1, for all that I'm default-interested in new / less common CPU options, RISC-V only recently became really interesting with the availability decent-enough Linux-capable hardware <$100. This especially matters when it's competing against a plethora of sub-$100 ARM SBCs.

"That is oppression and a tool of oppression, and it's got a long history."

Not per se. If it means rounding everyone up regulary and search all their homes for the sake of it - then yes. But investigations can also be discrete.

"And if there were, so what? Why must this law be enforced so utterly?"

Why must a government not bow to a violent mob? Because it would end democracy, if they would. It would mean, give right to those people, who can get the most determinated hooligans.
> I've noticed that retracing your steps (either literally if walking or not) helps enormously.

Definitely. My wife and I have a running joke about it. I'll walk into the room, she says "What's up?" and I say "trying to find something and I forgot what it was. Hold on, let me go back to my office to remember."
That's just liar-loans, not money laundering.
> what it is doing doesn't, say, appear on GitHub in a nicer form

Surely many similar bits of code appear? I'd have to see your problem though.

I'm thinking of ETL type code which has to mangle various custom exotic encodings into others and vice-versa.
I always assumed that Google was putting just enough money into OpenPOWER to keep the vendors interested, as a means of gaining leverage when negotiating with Intel.

I haven't kept up, but competition from AMD, ARM and RISC-V all probably fit that need now.
Biden retained classified information but will not face charges
i dont follow... even if its trained anc doesnt use search isnt the act of it deciding the next move a sortof search anyway based off its training? Ive heard people describe LLMs as extremely broad search, basically attempting to build world model and then predicting the next world based on that. Is this fundamentally different from search? Am i wrong in my assumptions here?
Maybe it depends on the literature. I almost never read the introduction, unless I am unclear on the motivation for the work from the abstract.

The fundamental problem with abstracts and introductions is that they're sales content. You can't trust them. The only thing you can do is decide if you wish to read further, and see if the paper says what they claim it says. For that, an abstract is sufficient about 99% of the time. Spending lots (or...any amount) of time on the intro before you read the data tables is basically asking to have time stolen from you.

For what it's worth, the proportion of papers where the body doesn't support the claims in the abstract is...high. Like way above 50%, in my experience (approaching nearly 100% for any random paper you find on HN or X.)

My algorithm is:

* read abstract. decide to continue.

* formulate my own version of the experiment in my head -- how would I go about answering this question?

* read all data tables, including supplemental materials. see if anything stands out as weird.

* look at all figures, including supplemental materials. see if anything stands out as weird.

* do I understand the data? if not, search for table/figure references from results, until I do (generally I end up reading most of the results, out-of-order).

* is this paper consistent with the way I'd have approached the problem? If not, is that important? what are the possible methodological flaws? what would they look like in the data?

* re-examine data to look for signs of flaws.

* does the data support the conclusion? if not, why not? what would I do differently or as a follow-up?

* finally, decide if the paper worth reading in detail.
Welcome to the club and congrats.

- Make time for your partner.
Both to continue nurturing your relationship, give each other alone time, and keep communication open (and on a relaxed tone). I cannot stress this enough.

- Set routines early.
Even before our kids slept through the night, we started routines. You don't have to go crazy. Bath-time at Xpm, reading by Xpm, sleep by Xpm. Does wonders as they age.

- Sounds silly, but understand every kid is different.
You'd be surprised how much their personalities seem formed even as tiny babies. What works for one kid might not work for another, even though you figure out strategies. (Ex. reverse psychology really does work at 7y for some reason).

- No one gives you a blueprint. Don't beat yourself up.
Accept now that your actions will have unintended consequences. My wife and I are very intentional about our parenting because of bad upbringings. When you screw up, acknowledged where it was and what you can do in the future, but give yourself some leeway. It's not like they give us rule-books for this stuff.

- Find a support ASAP.
Most parents I know have almost no support, and it shows. If your parents or grandparents or other family are there, speak up when you need help. Someone doing your dishes or giving you a night off is big. But cars will break down, you'll wonder how you're going to juggle everything. Find people you can trust.

- Read early and read often.
Self-explanatory. Our kids are insane readers because we read to them constantly from the beginning. Whenever they wanted.
Trying to openai am I missing something?

OpenPOWER happened a few years after Apple finished the transition to Intel.

The whole architecture is niche since then.

Linus Torvalds has a very interesting POV why x86 won. "Develop at home" issues.
You are going to deploy to a system that is similar to what you built on. If you run x86 then you'll deploy to x86. And he points to that as the reason for x86 servers.

Home is today a x86 or arm computer (arm if you like Apple), perhaps some SBCs (usually arm, perhaps some mips), and some IOT (often esps, so xtensa / risc-v) plus some router/wifi device (arm).

RISC-V is scaling up on that axis. It is killing other ecosystems for embedded/iot. It's becoming useful for SBCs and low end desktop boards are on the horizon.

That's the scaling path that works. You are $20 away from trying it out. And it can scale all the way to an affordable desktop soon (Milk-V).

It's IMHO not "a lot of energy on RISC-V", it's a quickly growing user base. OpenPOWER lost that.
> What would you consider to be such a claim?

"The app is a fake copy."

> The part they quote seems to explicitly call out the other app as being a fake copy when they call it "a fraudulent app attempting to impersonate our LastPass app".

Explicit would be "fake copy".

This callout does not even claim successful impersonation.

> You seem to be asserting that there is no such claim.

On the contrary, there is such a claim. What I said was is the claim is unsubstantiated.
I have very low confidence that it will ever be anything but vapour, given the project leader's previous record e.g. this project fully funded in August 2016 and not yet delivered 7 1/2 years later.

https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop

The project updates (last one in 2020) are painful to read.

A competent outfit such as Pine64 or Sipeed can knock a project like this out in 6 months. They could have been subcontracted given the $234k raised.
Have you considered those left-behind to be those who have been hurt, too? Addressing the bad may allow them to process mixed, or even "shameful" feelings about someone's passing. Feelings they can't voice, because of your "you can't speak ill about the dead".

> was solely based on his being an unapologetic Christian

I have my suspicions what's implied by this... and how that may be perceived as indeed very hurtful and destructive to some.
HN is opened subconsciously while working whenever I encounter a difficult problem. Focusing is pretty easy when the road is straightforward, but the second I run into a challenge my brain tries to escape.

Not sure what that means biologically/evolutionarily.
I honestly can't fathom caring about the difference between 6.2m a year and anything higher than that. Once my salary gets that high all I'm caring about is whether or not I'm doing interesting things.
I agree, and I'm not one to believe that a CEO should be paid peanuts for the level of responsibility and time commitment it takes to be in that position, but that's assuming the CEO is actually taking responsibility for the performance of the company. If goals are repeatedly not being met the CEO should be the first to take responsibility and take a pay cut or fuck off. If the United States value merit, incompetent CEOs should be held to a higher standard than a rank-and-file employee.
> A philosopher interested in the real world: something that became quite a rarity in later times...

Absolutely ridiculous. There are tons of contemporary, living, philosophers who are interested in literally every single one of the physical sciences. There are entire departments which specialize in philosophy of physics. There are philosophers that study biology, brains, computers, etc etc etc.

I've literally been in rooms where you couldn't throw a rock without hitting a philosopher deeply interested in physical reality.
> Raptor torched their own roadmap

I don't think that's a fair summary; Raptor has a very specific product, more or less the selling point of which is 100% open and auditable systems, so when IBM came out with POWER10 that bakes blobs into the system they're stuck with completely switching course. That's not torching anything, it's them being forced to correct for external factors.

Only problem is Powershell's commands are abysmally slow in comparison to chaining together Linux terminal commands that are written in C.

Powershell is a super neat language though.... especially if the Microsoft team that manages it would work more with the team that does more for SMEs and not just DevOps. The overwhelming majority of windows users doing regular business work have to deal with crufty stuff like VBA or over engineered stuff like C#. I was really hopeful for Powershell, but it seems like it's almost entirely to serve IT administrators or software developers. I wish that very capable team would do things like add a fairly simple GUI DSL or form designer with the tool. I know it can hook into WinForms, but that's a lot of effort and requires more C# background. There are probably millions of business analysts that would love to build little simple GUI apps without investing weeks of effort. The current approach is to just use Python, but that has it's own bag of problems for those that can do a little coding, but aren't full time developers. It just seems weird that Microsoft never invested in a language for SMEs that would integrate well with the OS and Microsoft apps and tooling.
Funnny, I am the other side of this coin. I am a founder specializing in product and marketing but I don’t write code.

Having now scaled up from zero customers to 100+ I can tell you the main things I see people get wrong:

-talking too much about what the product can do, rather than the result the person will get.

-focusing on features, which users don’t care about, rather than outcomes which they do.

-forgetting that the people you’re writing copy to are people - write to them normally and not in some weird voice.

-being overly focused on comparison to competitors. I never mention my competitors once, and no one cares.

-copying ideas from very large companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft, series D startups). Those companies can afford to burn millions on ads that might not do much. You can’t. If you copy what the big players do you just look lame and unoriginal.

-not being creative enough. No one likes boring ads. Not even boring people with boring jobs like boring ads. Average American sees 10k ads in a day. Be unique.

-Leading with something other than the main thing that your customer cares about. My company does real estate data, we used to have a headline about real estate data and market analysis. No one cared. Then we changed to taking about what investors care about, which is increasing their investment returns. Suddenly, conversions.

-tell a story about your product and plant it in your customers mind. I always say it’s like inception - they won’t remember exactly the story you told or where they saw it but I gets engrained in your mind. It’s really quite strange.

-not investing enough in marketing. Advertising done well is incredible leverage.

-don’t be afraid to write things that are long. Long headlines, long landing pages. There’s this prevailing advice to make things short, and while I do also do that, I have found that it’s not the length that’s the problem, it’s the content. If something is really good valuable and interesting, people will read things that are super long.

-provide value. The person on the other end of your landing page likely has a job to do and a boss to answer to. Help them solve their problems and they will buy from you.

-the single biggest thing that moves the needle is telling a better story about your product.

-don’t a/b test too much. It’s good to follow data, and do look at and compare performance. But you can’t a/b test your way out of bad positioning. Get it right the first time as much as you can, then iterate.

> I would very much like to hear the details of these claims I am making, they sound quite exciting!

Original assertion - belief that we are in a simulation with 100% certainty is no different than a religious belief in a deity.

I'm familiar with the idiom and origins. The idea that people are opposed to unions because they are all concerned for the day they're gonna be rich ("tech thinks of itself as inherently white collar and closer to upper management and riches") is patronizing. Assuming that people must be opposed to unionization because they are misinformed by pr and propaganda is patronizing.

I think pointing to systemic problems is helpful to trying to solve them as well. I don't think starting from a solution that people don't want and assuming it is because they are misinformed or selfish is helpful.

> This isn't the only reason that people aren't on board with unionization, but it is a common reason people, especially in America, aren't often on board with unionization in general (and has been noted as such for a long time, as mentioning Steinbeck implies).

Actually the original context of the quote/misquote was directed at the "so-called Communists" he met, not Americans in general.
Fair enough, I think a literal decimation is close enough.

There's still plenty a central authority could do, for example (1) banning mesh equipment altogether or (2) requiring that nodes in the mesh implement the government blacklist (and they could run nodes in the mesh to audit compliance). Pretty sure you need something more than mesh networking to make this work--you need an anonymous routing protocol so nodes in the middle don't know the address of the origin or destination nodes.
All too often being 'mobile first' means being desktop last. It feels like a betrayal when UX becomes a zero sum tradeoff between new users and the enthusiast users who built the platform and community to be what it is. User research metrics will favor the new users every time because inexperienced users tend to be the majority. Eventually, the enthusiast users leave, causing many to wonder why the original culture and appeal of a website disappeared.
