If you're on Mac, I recommend the Arc Browser, and using their Boost to adjust sites with custom css with the font + bold specification you want. Or a chrome extension, but I'm sure you've already found a similar solution and it's annoying to just have to re-do that everytime.

I wonder if there are custom CSS chrome extensions that allow you to apply a font to all sites not just one.
All good, no worries. I have the same tendency for writing singular sentences that should’ve honestly been paragraphs instead.

I’ve got some feedback about it at work, so now I genuinely try to be a bit better about it. It is a bit easier for me to be mindful of it on HN, but, as evident by my comment history, I am still far from being consistently good about it.

It is still often a “stream of consciousness written down as I would speak it outloud”, but now I at least started doublechecking the punctuation (or lack of it) for any potential confusion it could create before hitting send.
Google prevents Gemini AI from answering questions about upcoming elections
> "Replacing Wikipedia" strikes me as one of the least essential ideas on making the web better these days, but "developing an alternative news/information thing that anyone can work on and edit" seems cool? Something between the very authoritative "Wikipedia" and the mostly "single-creator" things like githubs awesome lists, rentry's and so forth?

I read a comment here on HN recently, wish I could find it now (I think it was in one of the threads on the 'missing datatype (graphs)'). The gist was that we do large things pretty well: Operating Systems, standard libraries, etc and small things pretty well: single header file libs, specific open source projects, etc, but medium size things are missing. This seems to be the same kind of thing: you have enough complexity that coordination is hard(tm) but you don't have enough scale to build up an institutional inertia to overcome the bus-factor-of-one-ness that--- uhhh

What I'm trying to say is that the support system around that project, like if you have a medium sized project, its going to have individual experts for the parts that make it up, but they're all single points of failure.

If I had more time I would have written a shorter more coherent comment.

Even something as simple as a steady supply of Tylenol could have commanded a king's ransom before analgesics became available. You are likely right that it would be prohibitively expensive at first, but such treatment would go down in price as society redirects resources away from things like Bitcoin and into the new life extension technology.
> Gold isnt lead. Lead isnt wood. Cells are not bits of metal. Bits of metal do not polymerise. Bits of sand do not form weak covalent bonds...

That's not the argument. Both gold and lead are aggregates of fields. They don't have the same macroscopic properties but they do have the same microscopic properties (or attoscopic if you want to nitpick).

> The idea that reality is essentially mathematical and not essentially physical is pythagorean magical thinking. Science says the opposite.

Science says no such thing, and nobody is saying that reality is not physical. Those who adopt a mathematical universe hypothesis, or the like, say that reality is physical but that the physical is a subset of the mathematical.

> Physics does not study "2". It studies there being earth and the sun and a force between them, summarised as "2 masses" etc.

Mathematics is the study of structure. Physics is studying the structure of reality. There is therefore an obvious and inescapable link between mathematics and physics that you are simply not going to refute by repeatedly asserting that mathematical structures have nothing to do with physics. Of course any structures that have a formal correspondence have important equivalences, because that's literally what formal correspondence means.
It's not tho. I think he should be able to host events without getting "cancelled" even if he is a grifter. That is the whole point with having free speech to begin with.

If you are not on board on that, you are not on board with free speech at all.

Besides that, your counter-argument falls short because the one that is suggesting something have the burden of proof. If you say he is a grifter, the burden of proof is up to you. If I say water is wet, the burden of proof is up to me. Also even if you think he is a grifter, I may perhaps not agree and thus someones opinion either have to be valued higher OR we just let everyone speak and host events like we do with free speech. If you do not like the guy, don't attend his event.

Why is that so hard?

For some people.

I'm one of those out-of-the-city-is-better people. However, I would never try to force it on anyone as it would make them miserable and ruin the country for people who want to be there. Sadly, it is difficult to keep city lights in the city.
Thanks! That's fascinating, do you remember what kind of tasks they served?

Hello, I have a few questions:

- how much time to insert 15 millions of vectors of 768 f32?

- how much RAM needed for this operation?

- if inserting another vector, how incremental is the insertion? Is it faster than reindexing the 15M + 1 vectors from scratch?

- does the structure need to stay in RAM or can it be efficiently queried from a serialized représentation?

- how fast is the search in the 15M vectors on average?
hopefully the sarcasm in my post was obvious

maybe not :)

the problem is also that a lot of tax and insurance and whatnot are defined by the state you live in. supporting remote work means having to be compliant in every single jurisdiction an employee could possibly live in.
I think what I was getting at was that memory sort of sits in-between.

My instructions are executed directly on the cpu. My file reads and writes directly translated from a stream of bytes to block instructions by code in the kernel.

Memory is a wierd in-between place, or maybe a 3rd option, since the kernel has to run a bunch of code on my behalf for me to use memory, sort of like the filesystem thing, but I'm using the direct hardware units afterward, sort of like instructions.

Again sitting is part of the office activity, a more realistic figure is probably 110-130 per hour averaged over the day simply because walking and standing use significantly more energy.

Also, subtracting BMR doesn’t make sense from a calorie per day standpoint. A 5% increase in calorie expenditure doesn’t explain a 25-50lb increase in weight especially when that weight increases BMR.

Thinking of a virtual graviton or photon or gluon as a particle is somewhat misleading. It is better to think of it as an excitation of the underlying field.

It is possible to show (with fairly elementary techniques) that when the excitations have a spin of 2, these excitations always reduce the energy of the system, and so produce an attractive force. If the excitations have a spin of 1, then they increase the energy of the system and so produce a repulsive force. This is why the gravitational force attracts and like charges repel each other.
Voters can certainly be selfish, in the sense of wanting something that might conflict with the greater good. For example, I might not want a new sewage treatment plant in my neighborhood, even if that is what the greater metropolitan area needs. I might want NASA to keep open a local office even if that interferes with efficiency.

And there's nothing irrational about voting. Maybe it is irrational to spend a lot of time reading about obscure candidates for assistant deputy dogcatcher, but you can just leave those choices blank if you want, and just vote on the things where you already have a strong opinion.

> (...) they will just turn around and say your real world data is not valid or that they need peer-reviewed article in Science.

This sounds like a bullshit conspiratorial excuse. If you have real world data and you aren't afraid of having peers looking through it, nothing prevents you from presenting it to peers.

So where is that data?

Instead, you just have vague unsupported unbelievable claims made by random people in the internet, as if that's any way to decide over policy, and any faint doubt raised over that claim is faced with conspiratorial remarks complemented by statements on how everyone around OP is incompetent except him.

I will go as far as to claim OP's assertion is unbelievable, to the point of sounding like bullshit. It's entirely unbelievable that people designing protocols for a multinational corporation whose bread and butter is stuff done over TCP connections were oblivious to how TCP works, and the most incompetent of them would bother to design the first major revision of HTTP. Unbelievable.

But hey, some random guy online said something, so it must be true!
Wait, how much worse, and how much deeper? Unless that kind of stuff is a trade secret.

This is a great point that hasn't been aired enough. I'm thrilled to see outsiders reading the expert reports-- which are themselves fascinating reading.

I'm one of Wright's defendants and have spent the last several years of my life trapped in this involuntary puzzle hunt.

Often people read the conclusions on the documents and say "man this guy Wright is a total idiot"-- and while I don't disagree with the sentiment, it's the wrong conclusion to draw from the documents.

These debunks seem simple once they've been pointed out to you. But the problem that a forger has is that they must get EVERYTHING exactly right. The anti-forger, on the other hand, need only identify one solid flaw.

Wright's stupidity wasn't so much in any particular error (okay, well a couple were kinda dumb: like backdating documents by robotically replacing all past tense with future tense, turning him into nostradumbass.)-- but the scale meant that it was inevitable the he would make errors.

Unfortunately he's been learning and for the most part his later forgeries had a lot less metadata to go on. If he gets too many more tries he may be able to start producing unfalsifiable forgeries. I'm really homing the judgement is forceful enough to meaningfully shut him down.
Amazing what people are willing to trade in exchange for a fat salary with decent benefits. Even if it means trading their moral code.
Cops need to be ready for shit to go down at any moment. They should be fully aware of their surroundings at all times. Firefighters, and those other professions you mentioned, when they're working, don't have the luxury of looking at their phones.

You can wait for others to promote you as a carrot or you can promote yourself. With more power on the labor side, you can more easily promote yourself.

Big Tech started with a lot of power in labor due to the knowledge economy, and is losing a lot of their core power. Thus wages will start slipping more and more and converge to general market rate for talent. Reclaim that power!

This assumes that using a distributed database from the start doesn't offer it's own penalties/drawbacks (particularly in 2016).

My measuring stick is how much the team can understand what is happening. When the team at large cannot move through the codebase and effectively make changes then it is time to make changes.

If the code is on the back burner and only receiving maintenance then no need to mess with it.

But active feature development? Teams need to have a grasp on it and have a way to get a mental model of what is happening.
The very next sentence says:

> You can be just an average person repairing your own device, in which case the manufacturer must work with you.
So we squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of existing networks, then that immediately becomes normal again. Except now we have protocols that are difficult to implement, debug and understand.
> But proving that an event happened before a certain time, like in the article, is a lot harder.

If you know you're going to have to prove it, there are loads of options. Absolutely loads.

The issue is simply that this guy's a fraud so he's gotta come up with a story about why he didn't use any of them.

It's not equivalent. Storybook has lots of features and plugins that make it useful.

What I'm saying is that effectively, my team has been using Storybook to develop components in isolation from the backend or the rest of the app and this was the main feature that we utilized. For example, we develop whole pages in Storybook. Our use case is that we also don't have a component library which is what people use it for primarily, from my understanding. Component library is a valid use case for teams who have a homegrown set of components but we don't have one.

So in our use case, developing a component in Storybook meant writing a story that passes all of the props and different prop variations to a component that doesn't have any state inherently. Swapping Storybook to MSW allowed us to avoid structuring components in a specific way (e.g. separating state from the JSX) while retaining the benefits of not having to have a complete backend.

In conclusion, we used both tools primarily to develop our SPA in separation from the backend. MSW filled this niche (which was specific to us) better.
That seems like mostly bad advice. What you should do is open the door as fast as possible, before the car has begun to sink. There's not enough water pressure at that point to prevent it.

If you freeze and hesitate then you're past the point of being able to just open the door unless you calmly wait until the interior has filled with water and then you can again. But at that point you're likely panicking
If it's really that small of a startup, then they probably aren't looking for something super official. They probably want to see some numbers you came up with to confirm your own idea.

I've looked up stats about markets when I thought I had a good idea. Just knowing how many potential customers you might have, what competitors are out there (including patents), and cost of existing products can give you a theoretical max revenue and estimated max product price.

Oftentimes this is enough to rule out an idea. By discovering the market is too small, or existing products are too cheap to compete with. Sure there are other things to consider like how mobile the customers are, regulations, growing markets, etc. Those will require more research. If your investor is considering putting in a lot of money I would hope they do their own in depth analysis.
Granting your position of 110-130/hr on average for an office job, including BMR, then that still is far lower than the quotes in the study.

BMR for men is roughly 1700cal, or 70cal/hr, so if you burn an additional 130 over BMR (what the study says for “light work”), then the “light work” was closer to 200cal/hr, or 800cal/day extra over an office job assuming a 10 hour day.

800cal/day is an enormous difference in expenditure.
