Honestly I haven’t come to a conclusion. It sounds like you are well versed in EA principals and arguments so I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.

From my (admittedly shallow) understanding of effective altruism I question how well we can define the ‘effectivness’ of an action.
I worry it prioritizes quantifiable metrics that are easy to compare over more diffuse benefits such as connection and personal bonds that are more difficult to measure (but equally important).
For example I suspect you would argue it’s more cost effective to buy rice from an international supplier and feed 100 people than to use the same money to build a neighborhood garden with supplies from local businesses and feed a handful of people.
But in one case the money remains in the community and continues to do good while in the other it simply further enriches an international conglomerate.

In one case you build community bonds and create a place for people to come together while in the other you potentially undercut the local suppliers, reducing the food supply in an area in the long term.

This is obviously a contrived hypothetical but I’m hoping you can read it in good faith and try to understand a different perspective.
With 12,000 Workers Expected, Kemmerer Looks to Modular Housing
In my experience working in a company with a fractured culture with a lot of problems, the culture prevents any strategy from being effective. To me, this is why culture is important.

For example, while the culture used to value people who stuck around for decades, it now demands new people from the outside to generate “new ideas”. This means our strategy changes every 3 years. When the strategy changes every 3 years, a culture develops that ignores any strategic organization or technology changes, as they know it will just change again in a few years.

Once these cultures develop, even if a good long-term strategy is put in place, the people aren’t going to adopt it. It takes a lot of years to build that trust after it’s been lost.

So I guess both are needed, in concert, for a long period of time, to creat something good and meaningful.
the only app ive seen balk at bootloader status (to date) is google wallet. Using a phone to pay for stuff is an opsec nightmare youd only entertain so long as becoming an integrated and saleable asset in a data brokers portfolio is a life goal. 'pm uninstall' and move on, the custom rom is still far more valuable from a security perspective than bending the knee to some bespoke ecosystem payment app (especially if you have an older device.)

the point of oem unlock, and rooting at all, is diametrically opposed to the vendors interest in nearly every facet. The vendor will bark "hackers" as a thinly veiled threat for the uninitiated, but we are initiated. what the vendor doesnt need you doing is erasing their telemetry and walled garden spyware. they dont need you developing alternatives to their store and to their apps, and they especially dont need you turning this effort into something as simple as an ubuntu installation for older phones they expect to follow the strict trade-in model of "buy a new phone every year"

> If that is a team level, it should be in the team table, not the player table.

It's all contrived, of course, but the reason I would consider skill level to be a player attribute rather than a team attribute is that there could be free agents with a skill level but no team:

INSERT INTO player VALUES (10, 'Pavlo', 'AAA', NULL);

Then with enough free agents, you could imagine building a new team out of free agents that are all at the same skill level:

UPDATE player SET team = 'Otters' WHERE level = 'AAA' AND team IS NULL ORDER BY id LIMIT 3;
"Note: Whenever you copy code from the internet please do understand what it does before executing it"

Good note to include. I've wrote an app like this where the install method requires executing code in the js console, and I always feel a little icky training users to run random code off the Internet. I include a similar warning.

I like your bookmarklet idea, I wonder if it will work with my app.

On a slightly unrelated tangent, I recommend reading "The Rise and Fall of E.A.S.T" by Yasheng Huang [0].

He's a Professor at MIT Sloan who has advised the Chinese, Israeli, and Indian governments on Human Capital Development, and provides a pretty interesting take on the development of management and institutional capacity within China, and how it's impacted R&D capacity.

People always sell Sear, but myself, I'm a fan of presearch.com
I have no affiliation with them whatsoever or financial interest. I have no interest in their crypto based business model.
In fact I think their lack of google or bing style search result filtering is entirely due to lack of funding and/or prioritizing other things more important to success, not due to taking a stand on free speech or anything like this. And that's perhaps how it was in the early days of the internet, when maslow's hierarchy of corporate needs focused on trying to make the thing work versus public relations goodfeels and presenting only rightspeech.

Anyway, if I'm looking for some topic I believe google would be known to filter heavily, or something esoteric, I take a look at presearch to get a second opinion. I'd also love to see archive.org do something similar, archive.org has an amazing collection of data, poorly indexed and poorly searchable.

Trampolines can indeed cause accidents but is that big of a risk to have one? That feels so out of place it's beyond comical.

Show HN: Homepage for Your Recommendations (Curations.club)
Hi community, curations allow you to create lists of your recommendations by adding links of items. The links are associated to people so the idea is eventually if you want to see recommendations of any person you can just go here and look up. We will also build llm to search over the items but right now the only discovery is through user page or explore.

This is all pretty ideal and I think these outcomes are more likely if the project has a substantial base.

Comparatively I was trying to contribute to another FOSS project only to get push back. I started contributing to the docs to build the package which were way out of date. The project switched from qmake to cmake. The project did not have a correctly working cmake setup so I assisted with that. Every time I contributed the maintainers would check my PR then ping another maintainer who was supposedly working on the specific issues. Eventually I managed to get some docs and code merged but after that the maintainers returned harder to blocking my PR’s with their own work which they happily merged in. They would not update my PR that they had already gone in and solved the problem, I had to repull and figure it out myself, which left me with open PRs/tickets just lingering in the space. They would happily clarify my questions with obscure non-revealing conversation about their project. Eventually I gave up.

Similarly I have tried to contribute to things like KDE in the past as well and been met with similar walls on contributing. Some developer somewhere is in charge of a FOSS project as a hobby and only really cares about their use cases or providing a simple demo app or rewriting an old app for their needs because the old app was too complicated or probably run by another hobbyist maintainer. This leads to opening tickets and looking for ways to contribute or discuss implementation with little to no response. Or in the case of KDE, having your ticket closed and shifted over to their bug system which requires rediscussion and retriaging.

At some point you just lose momentum and interest trying to push a project along due to the sheer uneventfulness and refocusing of it all.

I think we need fewer hobbyist project owners and more hobbyist project managers.
> IMHO computer science in college is a joke at most places.

I hate to agree, but yeah.

I'm watching my husband go through a CS degree course right now, and the stuff he talks about I'm just like "why are they focusing on this, you literally never use this."

His "computer graphics" class was all about using the original GLUT library. The school specifically highlighted M1 Macs as good computers for their CS department students to use. Think about this combo for about 5s.

Yeah, the lib wasn't available in arm format...
I'd love to know why Microsoft takes this sort of passive aggressive breaking of applications to try to change and fix their obviously sub-par UI in Windows 11, trying to force users to accept and adapt to it, vs improving it by putting it back to what it was a built-in option, and now blocking software to do so. It's like someone there takes public hatred of their changes personally as an affront, and insists users should just deal with it and the crappy UI changes everyone hates. It is like the stink of Steve Ballmer never left.

I use Linux for everything desktop for almost 20 years now, but keep a windoze vm for Visio, Project, or random other windoze-only crap, and windows 11 just looks grating to even consider. As most do historically, I skip every other windoze version, it has literally added nothing I need since windows xp, and would continue to use it if I could get OS security patches still as a runtime environment for the few mentioned applications.

For the little I do use it, ie. basic navigation and launching apps in the task bar, Microsoft almost ruins what I do have to habitually since XP. I never wanted or needed anything added in 7, 8, 10, or 11.
I feel like this comment awkwardly intermixes the problems of global shared-state package management (which Nix does not suffer from), and runtime isolation (which Flatpak/Portals are for).

EDIT: I do think there's a lot of interesting space to explore, for bringing isolation concepts into NixOS (or one of the other nix-based distro-likes)
I've reviewed the pull requests in question and this is just a bunch of FUD on behalf of Hashicorp.

The OpenTofu process puts a lot of effort into keeping code clean. To quote one of the project developers on their review process:

> The team employs this process in reverse. Implementing a functionality similar to one introduced in the BSL code, one individual can be designated as referee, look at the BSL code and ensure there’s no foul play in our MPL code. This individual cannot work on this feature/fix ever again.

Sometimes similar functionality is going to have similar implimentation, but that doesn't mean it was copied. Years ago I wrote a library called JShrink as a way to get around the weird JSMin license. I went back to first principles, literally grabbing a copy of the ECMA documentation to see how it handled tokenization. I then built my library. Someone pointed out that there were similarities between JSMin and JShrink, but it turns out that if two authors try to build the same thing with the same requirements (especially when talking about a relatively small piece of code) then of course there will be similarities.

In this case they're talking about an extension to an existing feature, one which really only resulted in a few lines of additional code. The idea that this was "stolen" is ridiculous, especially when you can see in the pull request how the functionality was developed.
It just an editing action, but proposed without nuance. Books I've read on communication and writing emphasized simplicity and clarity. I use iA Writer and there is an option to mark filler words, so you can check if you really need them in the sentence. I wouldn't do it randomly, but you can express your points in fewer lines. Sometimes I write entire paragraphs on HN and don't post it afterwards, because after rereading, I find it adds little to the conversation and was more an emotional response.
Do you think there is going to be a glut with Samsung, Intel and TSMC all investing? Will Intel even be able to keep up given their $7B losses?

I'm going to assume that nobody's insurance premiums or deductibles are going down from this data. No analysis is making the insurer say "Oh, that roof is in much better condition despite its age."

Insurance feels like the biggest scam in the history of the world. You are legally obligated to pay us for nothing, most of the time.
I read a sci-fi story in which someone managed to "disappear" in front of the protagonist's eyes; he found out later that the person wrapped themselves in a passing advertisement banner and was thus hidden by the personal adblocker everyone has.
At this point, it’s clear you’re not even trying to understand the difference between the following

1. App Store rules

2. Notarization of apps outside the App Store

3. System rules like security and task scheduling

They are independent concerns. You’re conflating the limitations of the third point and blaming it on the first two.
Ok but bigger issue is there is evidence that the LLMs are not better than specialized models for fact-checking. https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.12147
Key difference is incentives. I'm optimistic if AI will remain a subscriber model and avoids an advertising model.
I'll just put this over here with the rest of the C supersets.
Just watched, and yes this is a very good explanation. My intro to PID controllers was when writing AI vehicle steering for video games. I wasn’t taught about PID controllers in my CS degrees, so I started naively with what I would later learn is a P controller, and then got really surprised when lowering the gain turned into larger error. Like trying to smooth out the steering makes the problem worse, it was surprising to me. I told a very smart guy near me what I’d learned and he was like, “Oh yeah, you just need a PID controller”.
It’s probably possible to get it to work by patching the installer
That's a good point. This may have been useful when I was working on internal webapps to determine if the UI looked like I expected it to. That was in 2010 though when it was more common to use plain HTML instead of single page frameworks. I'm glad I moved into back-end development.
Isn't that just a matter of visualization, though?

You can visualize (a static snapshot of) a 1-dimensional compression wave as the flattening of a 2 dimensional sine wave.

More generally, any n-dimensional space with varying "density" can be viewed an n+1 dimensional space, where the extra dimension is the "density" dimension.
Maybe a "stretch".
Some months, maybe a couple of years ago I realised that I have no "mind's eye". For example I know I have grandchildren but I cannot visualise them. I cannot visualise a neighbour, or food, or a location. That this happens is odd but I can live with it.

More recently I was thinking about gaming, and more specifically Prison Architect, Dwarf Fortress, Factorio, City Skylines (all of which I own but get nowhere with) and other games where you play, you fail, you plan, you repeat. Even Minecraft.

Someone else - I presume - plays, fails, learns, repeats and so gain a step toward mastery of the game. (I accept from reading that mastery of DF isn't happening soon). I presume that players visualise mistakes and visualise workrounds. I cannot do that, I do not know how.

I have thousands of hours in gaming but I cannot recall them visually, so I respond in-game to what is happening in-game. That may not make sense. There will be some learning but in a non-visual way.

Is this aphantasia? I have no idea and I'm not about to be diagnosed.

I do have vivid and lucid dreaming but ask me to close my eyes and visualise an apple and nope, doesn't happen.
that may be so, but lavender being a Christian reference seems a bit of a stretch to me. it may well be referred to in the bible, but so are thousands of other things. to me it sounds more like they're giving them light and positive names that bely their destruction in a dark and comical manner
Simply charge a fixed sum for a time-limited license to perch within a specific region. Should also include some insurance.
Pixels can also be re-locked with a custom ROM present (I think Graphene is the only one that does this, though). For that reason alone I'll be transitioning back to Pixel (once this phone is beyond help).

They might be better. This is opposed to say, any metropolitan area on earth, where there is no attempt to restore prior conditions at all. I think your argument is essentially an ad-hominem that asserts without evidence that mining companies are evil. I find this a bigotted point of view.

My point is that the permanent disturbance of urbanization should be much more concerning than temporary disturbances.

> Using a phone to pay for stuff is an opsec nightmare

Do you mean "privacy nightmare"? Security-wise, Google Pay beats using your physical card since it uses a device-specific number that can't be skimmed by terminals and reused online.

> the custom rom is still far more valuable from a security perspective than bending the knee to some bespoke ecosystem payment app (especially if you have an older device.)

I'd argue that it only makes sense if you have an older device that's otherwise not receiving any more security updates.
The social media landscape vastly differs from country to country. WhatsApp is basically not a thing in the US outside of immigrant/expat circles.

None of the other ones that you listed are popular in the US either with the exception of Twitter, Zoom and Slack (and the latter two aren't social media platforms).
Thanks, as always for the usable link.

I really have to say how much one must be missing the plot to place an opinion piece behind a paywall. I know this is a convergence of pre-existing things (opinion pieces and paywalls), but the combo is dumb.
Plus the salaries of the sales teams and the marketing budget and the executive bonuses and fancy offices… or were you rolling all that up into “cost to assess”?
The 1% would need us to wage war against us.
Time a direction of movement (future or past) or one ordinate of spacetime position, not a place anyone lives. Same as "altitude".
I think it would be more accurate to say the RISC workstation built entirely of custom low volume components was a dead end. Even if SGI decided to cut their margins to compete on cost their lowest prices would still be way above a PC workstation. Compaq benefitted from economies of scale that SGI could not.

RISC architectures live on today. Your house likely has dozens of MIPS chips in various components. You've got more ARM chips for sure but no shortage of other RISC chips in various components.
currently there isn’t one. We can manufacture about 2 “big” transformers a year, and there are about 120 on the planet. Assume 50% are melted, and even with redirected resources itll take a long time to recover
Yes. Humans are obligatory fire users for example. We can no longer subsist on a diet of entirely uncooked food due to smaller jaws and jaw muscles, and shorter intestines.

The interesting question is what's next? I'm going to suggest obligatory C-sections. Infant's heads are already too large to pass through birth canals in many cases. A few thousand years of self reinforcing head/brain growth, and future hominids will require C-sections.
Probably a case of trying to get something out of the information that happens to be available. Maybe they’ll also adjust your rates based when you get your roof redone or whether you park in your driveway?
I was working on profiling and crash analysis software. The software had existed since the late 70's or early 80's. It was written in assembler so that's what was used to update it. If it was written from scratch it's unlikely the majority of it would be written in assembly.
It's probably about risk more than anything.

Trampoline installed well (i.e. staked down) with proper netting = who cares

Trampoline unsecured, no net = wind risk, personal injury risk, death risk
Generally yes, because the liability for injury would be on you, as the trampoline owner. Compare the probability of a guest breaking their leg when visiting your home vs if you have an unsafe trampoline. Insurers are prepared for the small risk in the former, but have not priced in the latter risk to a standard policy.
A crane with a CIA history helps with the Baltimore bridge cleanup
I'm less concerned about the spying and more concerned about insurance companies arbitrarily non-renewing policies with no recourse for the consumer. Insurance is heavily regulated for good reason, and insurance should be a source of stability instead of anxiety.
It's pointless linguistic nitpicking.
