I had a series of dreams like this once. Each dream would start off like any other dream, some probably-objectively-improbable starting scenario extrapolated into a sequence of events, but then at some point I'd 'figure out the trick' and become aware of some glaring flaw in my subjective reality at which point the whole dream would collapse and reset, to be replaced by some new scenario. This repeated a bunch of times during the night (I think something like six but how would you tell?) and when I woke up for real it took quite a while to be certain I was back in 'baseline' reality.
It would be really great if string theory would just end! It is kind of worse than new age religion and it sucks way to much research dollars. Many people have literally wasted their lives with this. Just like new age religion.

Waymo has employees watching their cars and resolving issues when they come up. So in order for Tesla to do robotaxis like that, you will now need to pay Tesla do to the monitoring and issue resolving as well. And then of course you will need your own special business insurance without the bulk purchasing power of Waymo/Cruise. When your car gets into an accident, you don't get to replace it with one from Tesla's fleet like Waymo does, you are just SOL.
> Almost half struggled with existential confusion and “derealization,” the sense that everything was unreal.

For me, the main transformative of taking acid recreationally was that the world came to seem less solid, reliable and "real". To be clear, I regarded that as a positive outcome.

A Buddhist teacher once explained to me that one of the expected effects of certain kinds of meditation was a growing sense that the world is insubstantial, as if it were made of tissue-paper that you could stick your finger through. I find that sort of view helpful; a world made of tissue-paper isn't "heavy" and oppressive. Anything can be changed.

And in fact, that solid, reliable world isn't real; the real world is very different from the world presented to us by our senses.

So this guy didn't find that insight helpful at all. Some people find it very hard to cope with.

I'm not sure that the Galapagos Islands is the ideal place to sleep-off a bad trip!

I'm inclined to agree with Evans that Leary's "set and setting" doctrine is far from a complete protection against bad trips. We used to attribute them to "bad acid", but that was bullshit; I just don't know what precipitates a bad trip.
>Why don't they just unilaterally disable third-party cookies by default without providing any replacement?

It's explained in the article, and below in this thread. They legally cannot due to intervention from the CMA.
I did mention satiety. My own experience includes obesity that probably bordered on morbid and disability subsequent to a childhood disorder. Basically, if you have two working legs, count yourself lucky that you can do exercises that I can’t. But I still have to figure out how to eat right and exercise within my own limitations, there is no other way to maintain a healthy weight.
Sorry but if you started such heavy drig use at such a young age you have absolutely no way of evaluating if it helped or hindered your life.

You hear this type of thing from psychedelic evangelists all the time "changed my life, learned so much" etc but when asked to substantiate these claims or provide any concrete evidence of behavioural changes or otherwise positive effects, they cannot.

By the way, im not a luddite. Done my fair share, but I'm honest with myself, its mostly just recreation, and dangerous recreation at that.
In china where legal compliance is more loose, a lot of people live in windowless sub basement rooms (called the ant tribe in Beijing at least). Mold is an issue, so these are even less habital than what you are looking for probably.

I once spent the night in a windowless hotel room in Xi’an. It freaked me out so I moved hotels the next day.

Agreed, I know it's a harsh word and not everyone will agree on its usage, but this is a serious issue that needs more attention IMO.

Also the "paradox of intolerance" seems to apply here i.e. you can't call for inclusion without letting people have opinions you don't like.
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” is the canonical form of this argument. And it’s utterly irrelevant.

Sure, most people with a gun don’t kill anyone. But the fact is, some people will. Prohibiting access is by far the best means of preventing those tragedies before they happen. High price to pay? Sure. But saving lives is worth it.
> "Open Source" may help find bugs but it can just as easily help exploit them --- or as in this case, intentionally create and plant them.

The bug was found before it hit production, so to that extent things worked. If there was a similar attack on proprietary software (from a malicious or suborned employee, a contractor, a sub contractor, or from the vast amounts of open source code used in most of it, or by some other route) we might never have known. It certainly could not have been investigated by someone who did not have access to the source.
I can still change the title, but I'm not sure if that would be okay according to HN guidelines.
network effects and the broader value network are the big ones. without creating and then exploring that network, you're just a hot new product until someone else catches up.

put another way, it's not just making cars, it's making the ecosystem. every phone after the iphone was trying to be the iphone, for example.

for Tesla, it would have been something like getting charging stations everywhere, and getting the 3 price so low that they become ubiquitous. then the Hertz buy might have made sense, you'd see taxis everywhere switching (and they kind of did in some cities), and stronger adoption outside of tech-bro cities.
This announcement doesn't mention a price, but the scoop by Calcalist last week says "many hundreds of millions of dollars and could even reach $1 billion." Good for them. (https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/rkmbe9e0p)

> How do I monitor whether the contacts are closed or open? I assume with a GPIO pin, but I’ve never been able to google this question and find anything of use.

Without making assumptions about the microcontroller used, attach ground to one of the contacts, then attach a GPIO pin, the other contact, a 10k resistor (or 100k), and VCC together in series. The microcontroller should periodically read the GPIO pin. If it reads high, the contact is open and the alarm is not sounding; if it reads low then the contact is closed and the alarm is sounding.

The GPIO / contact / resistor / VCC arrangement acts to pull up that side of the circuit to the high logic level, and the resistor will limit the current that flows whenever the contacts close. If your microcontroller has an internal pull-up configuration for GPIO pins, you may be able to attach the pin directly to the contact without the extra hardware. (Conversely, if it has a pull-down configuration you can reverse things, attach VCC to the contact and the GPIO directly to the other. Read your microcontroller's documentation for available features and any current limitations.)
The community has actually come up with some very useful mods to XP, like drivers for newer hardware and backported patches for APIs which originally were only present in newer versions of Windows.

Thanks for the link, I don't have twitter, so I can't see the thread. I'd saw neom post the link immediately after I made my comment, so I've had a skim through.

My argument is most similar to the opposite of H3a, which states: "Diversity has a more negative link to performance in tasks that focus on maximizing production of an output with a pre-defined strategy." It seems like their conclusion is that the level of creativity needed for a task is not a significant moderator of the link between diversity and production, although they note that the number of studies measuring this is small.
I highly doubt that there'll be any void of artifacts from our age. I'd venture a bet that the vast majority of preservation efforts (of present-day live) undertaken in the cumulative history of humankind were/are being done by people alive today. I think it would suit us well to take ourselves a bit less important in the grand picture.
What I have in mind is a platform to run virtual machines at home. This is definitely a niche product, but there's a significant overlap between nerds running kubernetes at home and people who have influence over what server products to buy for their datacenters.

The form factor would be towers or NUCs, or something you could put under your desk without it sounding like a vacuum cleaner. The CPUs in Oxide racks are AMD, so, presumably AMD-based compute rather than ARM. The idea is to have a system that's as analogous to an Oxide rack as reasonably can be, but on a smaller, cheaper scale.

Yes, Hubris is open source, but much of Oxide's value proposition is hardware integration. So the hardware would be at least vetted, if not completely designed from the ground up by Oxide and Framework.

To be clear, I'm not making the argument that this product would be a slam dunk success for Oxide (or Framework). The benefits that I'm purporting might not be worth the cost of development. In the history of computing, a lot of the infrastructure development has tended to be bottom up rather than top down. Server racks are the descendants of PC's, not mainframes. This could be a way for Oxide to have something that aligns in that direction.
I'm sure you're aware, but you have to be careful with being very reliant on free-tier products. Once a magnitude of people are "locked in" then they'll start to do some of the pricing and licensing shenanigans where once common features or bundled products get hidden under a fee or broken up after an update.

(Interesting project BTW, I'd just recommend having a screenshot or 2 of one of the resumes if you're explicitly advertising them as beautiful. Calling them that is one thing, but showing people that is much better.)
Where's the irony in it being discovered by a MS employee?

If not for his day job producing non-Open Source software, he would likely
have lacked the time and skill to devote to this Open Source project.

Moral to the story --- developers can not live by Open Source alone.
That's really cool! I didn't realize that. Thanks for explaining.

Ublock Origin. Assuming most already know about this one.

YouTube Premium. YouTube has some of the most amazing content on the internet currently. Pretty cheap to go adfree and you get unlimited music with it.

Sponsorblock Browser Extension. This skips sponsorship ads in YouTube videos. Like an adblocker for in video sponsorships.

Wikipedia Current Events. This page is one of my favorite less biased news sources.

I'd still like to do a lot more with this kind of stuff. Now with LLMs, I think in an ideal world I would like a browser on my phone and PC that runs all content through an LLM to automatically filter stupid bullshit. I think we're not that far from being able to build this today (maybe already).

But it was found by pure accident in someone's spare time and not as part of any standard testing/procedures.

Errors then are not an accident. They start the interview with a conclusion to get to, whatever you say will be cut and pasted to push the narrative.

> The trend I've seen is people on here

Right but my point is that we’re weird outliers. I can absolutely believe that the general public’s trust in Google is lower than it was a decade ago but from what to what? If people really didn’t trust Google would Chrome still be the overwhelmingly popular browser choice?

I simply don’t see the evidence that the level of distrust seen in HN is reflected in the general population.
Swell. You know how to do recursion.
Brightline managed to deliver their Florida line pretty much on time and on budget.

The only real challenging part of the route is going to be pass out of the inland empire where the I-15 grade is a really steep. The rest of the project is pretty straightforward, with rights of way already in place and very few expensive and complex grade crossings. They picked this city pair and route very carefully to have an excellent chance to succeed both on construction simplicity and ridership. I'm not sure they will actually open in time for the 2028 Olympics, but I wouldn't bet against 2029 operations.

As for high speed, it won't be able to sustain true high speed rail velocity across the whole route (150mph / 250 kph), but it will be much faster than driving and there will be long stretches that are very high speed.

Sure, but then again humans are all independent and biased in different ways while the automated tools we replace them with will be making the same mistake and using the same bias over and over again.

The whole idea of an OS as an important thing is debatable. For example:

> The operating system is another concept that is curious. Operating systems are dauntingly complex and totally unnecessary. It’s a brilliant thing that Bill Gates has done in selling the world on the notion of operating systems. It’s probably the greatest con game the world has ever seen.

> An operating system does absolutely nothing for you. As long as you had something—a subroutine called disk driver, a subroutine called some kind of communication support, in the modern world, it doesn’t do anything else.

This is something I wish people who blame Disney for the perceived lack of variety in theaters would get. That funky little arthouse flick is not in competition with the latest MCU entry.

I'm not sitting there trying to decide between Avengers: Endgame and some Sundance premiere. And the denigration of people who like MCU/action movies in general that tends to come with these critiques is really not helpful. I like a good indie film and a good blockbuster. My life has room for Tangerine and Black Panther.
That is so weird. For an article that appears to be based on extensive research, it’s hard to understand how the author missed that.
Those companies you listed, especially DJI and Anker, are the exception rather than the rule. In my experience living there for 6 years, Chinese companies at all levels tend to cut corners too easily and focus on short-term profits. Very few are capable or willing to put in what it takes to establish a brand that can compete with Western brands. DJI was helped by being in a relatively new market without long-establish brands, Anker to a similar extent (and also produces less expensive products). It's much easier to buy a foreign brand (like Geely with Volvo) than to try to establish your own brand internationally. Even huge companies like BYD, Huawai, and Xiomi (smaller but very popular in China) have not made headway except in less developed countries.
Reports can already contain errors and random shit. All you need to cover your ass is the ability to pass liability onto someone else. If the errors are because of a software defect rather than because of user error, your ass is more covered, not less. Though it's true that certain sorts of errors in certain sorts of reports could be problematic in and of themselves.
I am not familiar with the Jetbrains issue, but have you tried using

rsync ${your_existing_options} --no-owner --no-perms

or something along that line? Or did you already cover that and I missed it? Apologies in advance if so. Those options have existed for a long time so every current version of rsync on every OS should support it. --no-owner --no-perms will just leave ownership and permissions as they are on the destination. It will override owner/perm alias in -a even if the archive flag is used.
I suspect having a 10M population "only" + very bad commercial relations with their direct neighbours make Israeli startups think global from scratch. In Europe, most startups tend to think local-first, which hinders their scaling.

Mandatory military service with a military that has a high weight on technical warfare/superiority is an oft given reason.

Another is network effect. The same way that Silicon Valley has a lot of very successful startups. Once you have a few in a region, it creates a knock on effect.

It inspires people to follow suite. It means there’s more money being pushed around in that area. It means there’s more people looking at developments in that area. Often someone may be lower down in one successful startup and then leave to make their own with the experience of how to do it.

My general experience is often people think problems are easy to solve from the outside because they just don't understand the problem.

Thus you can often find communities of people with disabilities who understand the problems and the people from the outside who offer insulting and simple solutions to the problems.

As soon as someone falls from group B into group A the problems stop becoming simple and easily soluble though.

Through the Israeli military service there is a large pipeline of (technical acumen cultivated while serving) -> (business || academia). Especially in technology. A large part of this is comes from the fact that Israel strives to be self sufficient when it comes to military technology.

When it comes to deals, there is also, frankly, a large Jewish funding/investing community. The hard part of getting deals is who you know.
