Yes. Basically you can track how physics went astray very easily. Physicists were grappling with the philosophical ramifications of some of their discoveries at the same time that experimental data was starting to get much much more expensive to generate and the success of QCD and the standard model created a culture of "shut up and calculate" where physicists put on horse blinders and just tried to make the math work without any real consideration for anything beyond fitting the data. That was fine for a while but now physics is at a crisis point where our models are elegantly accurate to a point but clearly wrong, and physicists as a group have mostly forgotten how to imagine, so the only tool left in their box is pushing numbers around.

The campaign has that one level everyone who's played it knows. One of the most creative levels in a modern game.

The multiplayer was so good the first 2-3 years after the game released. Then they started nerfing it a bunch and then some issue began with people DDOS'ing their servers.
If you are using cookies for user preferences/settings, then they require consent. If you are only using cookies for session information (like a shopping cart), then you don't have to get consent. Your lawyers know this.

Frankly, I doubt the veracity of this anecdote. But even so, I'm willing to bet that the lawyers in this story did not tell you that the banners have to cover half the screen and have ambiguous wording to intentionally confuse visitors to your site. When I say "obnoxious banner" I'm not being redundant: not all banners or popovers are "obnoxious".
High level exec or PM/PG I agree with you.

However ICs are usually engineers that are more equipped to help debug the problem. So I sort of disagree with you, at least from the articles examples.

The validation page asks for a name, then the continue button changes from "enter name first" to "complete the captcha firs" but nothing else happens. I'd 100% fail this test because no captcha is shown.
Welcome to Planck's Principle![1]

The view is that progress isn't because the established old guard changes opinion, it's because the next generation has better values.

More soberly, we see this in other aspects of the economy. The famous China Shock study [2] looked at the effects from ramping up trade with China on rural factory towns in the US.

The finding is dark: People who lost their living from "economic displacement" didn't move to a new city: they simply settled into their misery. However, the research shows their children do move to greener pastures.

Last one: home technology and feminism [3]. In the first half of the 20th century, many technologies drastically lessened the household workload - refrigerator, indoor plumbing, washing machine, etc.

The biggest effect was on the 2nd generation of women after WW2 - the women's children saw that they had more time, and started working en masse rather than aspiring to being homemakers.

The title is misleading, they are referring to "Retirement Savings" just counting 401k and IRA dollars only. Personally my "retirement savings" are over 60% in non-IRA or 401k dollars, and I'm retired.

Later in the article they begin to talk about overall net worth including regular savings and investments and the numbers are better but could still be problematic:

>> In terms of the average retiree’s net worth, the Federal Reserve data puts it at approximately $1.2 million for those aged 65 to 74. The average net worth drops to $958,000 for those aged 75 and older.

AI can already solve captchas, no need to exploit poor countries.
Sci-fi really dropped the ball on warning us about how much time we would be spending proving to robots that we're human. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.
It's also based on having the money continually invested in the stock market, which becomes more nerve-wracking in retirement I'd imagine since you can't easily weather the storm of a half-decade downturn.
IIUC that paregraph says it depends on the distance to the source and how close we are to the center of the "death ray". My (uninformed) guess is that is much more common to get a half sterelization than a complete one, but don't let probabilities ruin a nice linkbait title.

Wow that was fast, how does that safety system work?
Looking at safety without also considering utility is a bad move.

If I want to be really safe, I should stay in bed all day. Merely going down my stairs is a remarkably dangerous activity, yet I consider the utility to be worth it.

Therefore the real metric to minimize is deaths per passenger mile.

Or, even better, take into account the lifetime 'used' to get that utility. So maximize miles travelled / total time spent travelling and waiting at departure gates, where a death counts as 100 years.
Try my trick just keep asking why and see if it goes insane.
This is very reminiscent of an act where someone calls the police about a 'looming' terrorist attack, for example

What you are talking about is debugging, this is incident command.

Completely different, no office environment solves this problem.
you have an odd definition for "easy" I think.

garage door springs are safe if you are careful and you use the correct tools and procedures. the instant you take a shortcut with these, you increase the likelihood of a bad outcome.

so, don't take shortcuts, and don't do the work if you don't know what you're doing.

the professionals know this and that's why we pay them, but they're not special creatures with special abilities; they're people who understand that this is a situation which can bite you, and they act accordingly.

Just about anyone can change their garage door springs, if they do so correctly.

Show HN: NeetoRecord – an affordable Loom alternative for remote work
Hi HN,

Today, we are launching neetoRecord https://www.neeto.com/neetorecord.

neeto is a 100% remote company. We are building many products, which require a lot of communication. Very early on,
we had decided that jumping on a "Zoom call" for every small discussion was not a scalable solution. So, we
chose to use asynchronous communication.

However, with async communication, we found that written text didn't adequately express the message emotionally. A voice
can capture the emotion behind a change a person wants much more strongly than written texts. Secondly, writing
takes a long time.

We started using Loom for async communication and loved it so much that we wanted to get it for the whole company. However, at $15/user/month, getting 100+ Loom seats would cost us substantially.

Like any engineer, we wondered how hard it could be to build just the core of Loom. So, we started building it in
July 2023, and after nine months of development, we are ready to present neetoRecord to the world.

We have been using neetoRecord internally for the last six months.
Here is a real-world example https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pjlzSOf7VPvzFzLz4ynM5Kk-pIl... where we
discussed the website revamp. As you can see, six videos were posted on this issue. It means we had six fewer
meetings regarding that issue. Adding up all the hours saved amounts to quite a lot in any given month.

We believe that neetoRecord will be an indispensable tool for an effective remote team. At neeto it already is.

Our roadmap is currently empty. We will work on improving performance and bug fixes.
We will listen to user feedback and feature requests to decide what is next. The most important thing for us is to keep the price competitive to have a wider audience.

We have written three blogs on how we built neetoRecord.
https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/build-web-based-screen-record...

Please give neetoRecord a try. We would love to hear your feedback.

One of my earliest memories is of eating a bug.
This would I think be the ideal if it's possible. I'd love videos to have signatures that prove when it was recorded, that it was recorded from so and so a phone, that it hasn't had any modification, and maybe even optionally the GPS location (for like news organisations, to even more reliabily prove the validity of their media). And then have a way to have a video format that can allow certain modifications (eg colour grading), but encode that some aesthetic changes were made. And, more importantly, a way to denote that a region of video is a clip of a another video, and provide a backing signature for the validity of the clip.

That would allow a much strong verifiability of media. But I'm not sure if that would be possible...
Interestingly they only say you have to disclose it if it's a singer missing a note. Seems like it's fair game to fix a note that was off key in real life and not disclose that.

If there are an infinite family of parameterized string theory models, it's basically guaranteed that you can pick one that predicts anomalous data. In other sciences you would adjust the P value for the probability that you can reject the null hypothesis given the number of experiments you're performing, which in the case of infinity is going to drop the probability of rejecting the null to zero.
Isn’t this already the case? It’s probably still cheaper considering the inference costs.

I have always heard you should have 10x your salary (starting salary or ending salary, I am not sure).

This makes the average retirement "426,000 for those aged 65 to 74" seem less bleak, but the median(164,000) makes it sound pretty bad.

There is so much conflicting advice on this topic. It makes it difficult to plan. Are we getting Social Security? Will it be reduced? Is the safe withdraw rate of 4% a safe assumption? The article uses 7% for rate of return, is this inflation adjusted? Do These calculators make assumptions, like your house will be paid off, or you have reduction in spending from kids moving out?

I am assuming if you pay SS tax and put 15% of you income into the S&P for 30 years, you should be able to retire at 65. Hopefully it works out!
Exploit? No one's forcing people to solve captchas, they do it because it's a good deal for them. I'm from a country that was relatively quite poor just 15-20 years ago, and I can say stuff opportunities like were positive, not exploitative.
Feels like this tiny box is the only safe place on internet to share what I do
I feel like the only place I feel safe on the whole internet is this tiny box to proudly share whatever you create.

Because I get people may not like what you do or share, but I can't push myself to do gimmicky stuff first to share what I do, for visibility.

All the other places feel like, there are totems and rituals and jinxes to share anything. And also sharing anything with your close ones feels like as soon as you share something suddenly a huge vacuum comes to existence around you. As if most people that know you, are not happy that, someone they know, creates something.

Playtoob is a very simple video playing companion, to watch what you actually choose. There is no AI, no big-data, no machine-learning, no advanced know-it-all algorithms. Just simply "add a list of channels you like" and "play their videos shuffled".

You may have heard of it, I shared it here 1-2 months ago. Received nice feedback, applied it, improved and eased up the product. I had to put a small fee, because I couldn't handle the costs, to keep it live. This tiny box improved me and my product.

This tiny box just works.

For every other place you need to be somebody else, and you need to do some sacred rituals that has been told from elders to the next generations.

This is my launch on PH: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/playtoob

Has no chance of being the product of the day. I didn't sing the ancient tunes and dance around fire.

I shared it before on Reddit, as a father of 2, I was banned from Parenting sub. :)) I know some parent was looking for something like this. Facebook groups and pages immediately hate you if you share anything.

I'm giving away 100 free accounts for a year on ProductHunt, if you want you can check it and get it, and if you're into it support it there.

The most clever, if unsavory, way that I've seen someone solve this is by building a free adult website and requiring users to solve captchas to view the content.

Once they had a regular stream of people solving captchas, they started selling the ability to insert the captcha you need solved in the visitor stream.

Literally AI can do everything humans can online.

The only “human check” that works is asking the person to periodically appear and check in at some real life events with other humans.

And even that will only last long enough until lifelike robots will be able to simulate humans better than many humans.

Stupid captcha thinks I'm not human, took me ages to realise why: 'click all the squares containing an item you might need on a hot summer day'; it wants me to select the iced drinks but not the sunglasses. I eventually realised because the image next to the text prompt is of iced drinks, not sunglasses. Right, like a bot couldn't figure that out, and how inhuman my interpretation was...

There are still engineers (mostly engineering directors) who, TO THIS DAY, hate open-source and perceive it as a threat. That's absolutely wackadoo to me. Most of these types are all-in on Microsoft, so this attitude being pervasive within .NET isn't surprising.
Well, String Phenomenology is a thing [1]... although more recently they appear to have to switched away from studying the frankly gargantuan set of viable vacua in favour of examining the even larger set of non-viable models [2]. And the choice to take research in that direction is just somehow just so quintessentially string theorist.

That's true, but the "analytics" purpose is ambiguous. It could be for security most servers already have access logs by default, that stores IP addresses anyway, and it's often used for DDOS protection for example or fail2ban login attempts.

What about installing the right php libs that are expected.

What about keeping the machine up to date to new distro release that inevitably comes with a new version of PHP that isn't compatible with the app ?

Don't get me started on setting properly php-fpm and any other reverse proxy.

All of those issue are gone with docker. You always run the right version of everything as it was intended by the developer (if they are the on that maintain the image)

The organization behind QT (QT Group) has pretty onerous licensing terms.

My understanding is that it's $3,950 per year just to develop using their libraries on your own computer if you ever in the future intend to commercialize your project using QT. Transitioning from the open source license to the commercial license is something you can do but it's not the happy path according to their FAQ.

https://www.qt.io/pricing

My understanding is that some of the QT libraries or older forked versions of them are still completely under open source licenses but it seems like a very complicated situation if you have commercial aspirations with your project.

Something like Slint (Rust based but includes CPP and JS bindings) is not as comprehensive (yet) but it's more modern and the licensing terms are significantly more in line with software industry norms.

GPUI from Zed is also something to monitor: https://www.gpui.rs/

Also, in general you can find an extensive list of Rust-based native UI libraries here: https://areweguiyet.com/
I completed the step. One request was: "Click on all objects faster than a human." I misunderstood it that as a human I should click slowly because robots can click faster.

Then I finally, after that false start I got the message. This message sent me deep into the uncanny valley. It was something like: "Thank you, human. You have been verified." My hair stood on end.

It felt very weird to let a robot identify me as a human. If corporate does that do me and gives me the feeling I am the product, not the customer, then I would know what to do next.

But the inverse is true as well. Many things seem a lot more interesting until you actually have to do them.

This was a really common observation among the parents in our circles. You really notice things like missing curb cuts or bumpy sidewalks when pushing a stroller, so many things where only needing one hand is really helpful when holding a baby, having restroom stalls big enough to accommodate a wheelchair also means a stroller or second kid can fit, etc. A lot of people went from sort of vaguely thinking this is important to vocally backing accessibility at public meetings.

One important example: public bathrooms. Hatred of homeless people has driven a lot of American cities not to have them, which means people with certain conditions stay in or avoid certain areas. It also sucks for parents and I’ve noticed at planning meetings that one of those things which should not happen but does is that, say, an older low income person saying they’d use a park more if it had a background does not get the same response as, say, the affluent mom saying the same thing. It’d be nice if that didn’t require haggling but if it takes a coalition to get fixed at least it still happens. I noticed something similar with our local bike path expansion - motorized wheelchair users are looking forward to a smooth, safe, fast path, too.
It's not the mechs that make it special, it's the movement system. Shooters generally regressed from doing wall jumps and dodges in UT2003 to slow, plodding, realistic ground movement. Cover based shooters were probably the nadir for me personally. Titanfall 1 & 2 are the rare recent examples of mainstream shooters where complex movement is possible[1].
