Information is tricky that way, it's like food your mind consumes on sight.
Games are designed to be addictive, so once you stop its like quitting soda.. eventually you lose the taste for it.

Though, I noticed a lot of satisfaction from my life comes from interactions with others. Games no longer encourage quality interaction like they used to. Your friends get older then get married and get busy, so theres less of that. I usually analyze a game and decide if its wasting my time or improving my time on this earth.

Then there are the single player games. I feel like these had more meaning when the market wasn't as saturated. A lot of times you're just chasing nostalgia from that one really good game you've played. Hoping to recapture the same feeling. Not only that, most aaa games now days are now products of money instead of passion.

So if I had to guess why anyone stopped it's probably one of the reasons above.
I opened the front page of HN, my eye was drawn to this headline. I instinctively gave it an upvote because this is the Lord’s work this man is doing.
People are searching for comparisons, but these pages have been designed to seem highly relevant to the search engine. Not to be highly useful for readers. That page from Zapier is another example of the same issue. When Google rolls out their new ranking algorithm to zapier.com, I'd expect it will also be de-ranked.

The words "Power Automate" only appear 3x in the page. The title, subtitle, and a link to the same page. Nothing else on the page is relevant to "Power Automate", it's just the same marketing copy from the rest of their website. As a user looking for actual details on how the products capabilities compare to Power Automate this page is useless to me.

Google have been completely transparent about this. They have explained exactly what kinds of pages would be de-ranked under the latest changes.
And yet civilization still exists.
The user could be from a country where paying to receive phone-calls is unknown. From some brief Wikipedia research, this is only a common model in the USA, Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receiving_party_pays)
For many things in life I try to find and loosely follow some ideal ratio of explore vs. exploit. For restaurants I've found 1:3 ratio works well - 3 times eating at restaurants I know I love, then the fourth time eating somewhere I haven't been yet. Usually the new restaurant doesn't live up to my favorites, but sometimes I find a new favorite.
I feel the pad is the modern pda, but it has been stuffed too much and is usually too large and heavy.

All for orange-pilling the water supply, but grid modernization isn't just for EVs.

Lots of other benefits as well like replacing fossil fuel heating with more heat pump penetration, and making things handle the variable energy flows from putting more storage on the grid, which to be frank, is needed to continue adding solar at CA's stage of solar development.

A grid designed for the centralized coal/gas plant era doesn't work as well in the era of distributed resources. EV's are just sexiest way this shows up.
Right, but (not) changing what you eat and how often you exercise is also heavily dependent on mental aspects.
IMO when people say "one of the richest countries on Earth" the mental model is the United States or the European Union countries whose wealth is kind of self-sustaining at this point. Like it would take many massive proactive mess ups for the US not to be so wealthy.

This does not describe Argentina in the early 1900s because the country's wealth was mostly from raw resource exports which are always unstable. It's like Venezuela being (relatively) wealthy from oil is the early 2000s. In this case transitioning from "one of the richest countries on Earth" to poor doesn't require you to mess up proactively - if the price of oil swings the wrong way, you're suddenly poor, as for Venezuela, without doing anything wrong yourself.
We love to have more help! Hardest part is debugging.

So running Tribler and reporting bug in Github. We are in desperate need of Win/Mac/Linux users which will help us with reproduce bugs. One time we found bugs in Python Async IO standard lib [1]. The 'once in a week' bugs are difficult to capture.

It’s interesting that the relational model reflects interface inheritance as opposed to implementation inheritance. In my view it’s another indication that (true) delegation is generally a more suitable way to design software.
"bollard" [1] - I always called them steel poles with concrete inside, buried in the ground. Someone here corrected me and I learned something. Adding to that I never associated them with the more artistic versions as I assumed those were weaker or just for looks.

A better example would be $500/box since $20/box is about market rate depending on the exact kind and caliber (assuming 9mm or 45 which is going to cover the overwhelming majority of handguns).

No ad is going to make $500/box for 9mm or 45 handgun ammunition seem reasonable.
Interesting optical illusion – if I focus on side of the Custom Canvas demo and repeatedly click "Run", some of the confetti in my peripheral vision appears to leave the canvas. It's as if my brain is filling in what it expects to happen.

>I keep hearing this idea of artificially restricting residencies like some sort of opec cartel.

Yes this is real. Look up the ACGME.

Physician wages are non-market and artificial due to limited supply.

If we can import Physicians from other countries, I'll ease up a bit. But the reality is that Physicians are collectively doing immoral things.
The reason is rather simple: emotional safety. It is emotionally stressful to consider dangerous possibilities, and for all the number that don't come true, unlness you can change it, most people will adopt a "don't worry be happy' perspective.
This is great. A few years ago I read a book a month and too this day my thinking is still guided a lot by a lot of those books, but I stopped doing it because it was taking so much time in the amount of notes I was taking and I just don't have the time anymore.

But i've started to get back into it, realising that I don't need to take notes, because I rarely referred to them anyway and jus listening to audiobooks is engaging my mind in these topics in ways I might be able to fully grasp at the time and the idea that I need to leave with a notebook full of ideas after the end of a book just isn't true.
I switched back to PalmOS for my daily mobile computing a couple of years ago, so I think I've given it time for the nostalgia effect to wear off. It's still incredibly fun and absolutely doable.

To the article's point, what we do with modern devices today is just another iteration of what these do. For the average modern app/SaaS, there's a very often a Palm app that did the same thing in 2002.

There's also still active exploration in the Palm space (ARM board swaps, new expansion modules for the Visor, apps in-dev from several folks including myself).

Happy to provide recommendations.
why don't we just build giant Arcologies and move everyone into them. easy. /s
I have a feeling the painting was kept hidden by the Nazis who stole it and is now making its way back onto the market via one of the private offices in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.

I love to see how active and vibrant the Rails community is. I used to be concerned about the viability of building new companies in Rails, since the ruby share of languages is so low these days. Based on the still-healthy community and the ridiculous productivity level that a developer can have with Rails 7+ (turbo, morph, stimulus) I still think its a fantastic stack to build a company with.
No, actually, you're allowed to post and tease people who are saying nothing. The karma is just a useful framing as to why, people don't like it when you tease for no reason. (I only mentioned it once briefly lol, 4 comments up, relax buddy)
YouTubeMusic actually has this. With its "You Music Tuner" there are a lot of configurable parameters that control artist variety and music discovery. It doesn't quite nail tuning by curation, but it's a step in the right direction.
It’s less a case of worrying about maliciousness than incompetence. I remember reading a post here about some junior dev who accidentally dropped a production database. I can see an employee accidentally doing a DELETE/FORCE [...]*.*;*¹ in the wrong directory.

No, it's true, I was surprised to get a robocall a few months ago, because it was the first ever (I think) and I have had my number since >10 years now. It's just not a thing here, I've never heard anyone complain about robocalls.
1.6% is pretty niche. Metcalfe's law absolutely applies.

I don't have data to compare between the many countries, but anecdotally, Canadians suffer robocalls at a similar rate to US-ians.
Free will doesn’t mean that the decisions you end up making aren’t significantly determined by the experiences you had.
you touch an important thing. music is a common thing between people that's shared, and a way to express, which is usually also meant for sharing (you can make music to express to yourself too.). hence i think most people develop their taste in these things mostly through social interactions which algorithms cannot provide. additionally as a result, the memories/experiences attached, influence heavily how it tastes, exactly as you say.

these numbers presented seem a bit from a narrow dataset. all the people likely from one culture or even sub-culture, with one sort of social pattern that impacts this kind of stuff. - i live in a northen country, and find often in the south people are more actively outside and socializing at later ages. sharing more music and food, and likely the peak ages would thus be later too, or less of a peak.
2011? I don't understand what you mean. Read the wiki, and we all know when "funding secured" happened for Twitter to go private.

That is entirely what we should strive for: an elimination of growth.
I think everything is ultimately net positive if you strengthen and condition the way you internalize all the sensory exposure.

To me, the risks are being overwhelmed by internalizing too much at once, and the opportunity cost of having a limited amount of time to take things in to your senses.

Influence is a very nuanced thing so I don't want to sound too black and white here, but I think it's like a brainstorm session. You take what you like best from your senses/inputs/etc
Preventing access to data is the whole point of encryption. TPM stores the key to the drives attached to the machine, effectively tying the keys to the device + drive combination. (Doesn't Apple do the same?) And if you're afraid of being locked out, you have backups elsewhere, right?
I wouldn't say it's better, just it's not a future that needs to be prevented. If the planet becomes uninhabitable due to human caused climate change & manufacturing waste, then it isn't the fault of the surviving AI society that survives

There's a lot of hypothetical scenarios. In an AI society you have replicable identity. Politics becomes a matter of control over computational resources. In that scenario Earth isn't an ideal environment, the upper class of AI entities will be seeking asteroid mining & setting up shop near the sun for maximal solar power (I remember years ago watching a talk about how if bitcoin succeeded the eventual madness would be mining moving to satellites around the sun, causes some division in consensus due to transmission time)

The problem AI regulation needs to address is its non-AGI use in making mass surveillance & genocide more efficient, directed by governments/corporations. Humans becoming obsolete is a red herring

(the author of article may not think AGI is the reason regulation is needed, they didn't clarify what degree AI regulation they consider necessary, only focused on refuting a bad argument against AI regulation)

edit: rereading, you may've been responding to "& hopefully some non human biological life", I specifically mentioned 'non human' since that was responding to a hypothetical where humans are extinct, so I was merely making a redundant distinction
Which is only apt if we consider the victim of the tragedy to be our collective society suffering as a result of our hubris and other failings (and falls apart completely if we recognize that the individual human victims are essentially random).
Likewise, I wouldn't be shocked if I'm counted as an daily active Instagram user, despite not having an account or using it directly. The "shorts" are embedded in FB and occasionally interesting.

> I don’t understand why they being used on a site would be correlated with usefulness.

Simply from personal experience. The majority of the time when I hit a captcha or somesuch, it's been for websites of marginal usefulness to me.

It's certainly not some sort of hard and fast rule -- there are plenty of exceptions as you point out. That's why I consider it a weak signal. But if other weak signals make me doubt the site is useful and I hit a captcha, I'll just move on immediately rather then continuing to spend time checking it out.

I think it's mostly that doing a captcha is a cost to me in time and irritation, and if I don't think the website is worth paying that cost, I won't.
It’s ASML.
> I'm still waiting for AMD or Intel to make a RISC-V chip that drops in one of their existing sockets. Yeah, you'll need to replace the BIOS and such but I'm looking to buy a new motherboard anyway.

If you need to replace the motherboard, what's the point of reusing the existing socket? That said, I think I've seen this done, although the details are eluding me and web searches aren't helping; I think there was, once upon a time, a motherboard that could swap between x86 and Alpha processors with only minor reconfiguration (like, changing a jumper minor).
Hijacking this thread to ask a question. Does anyone have a 1000 ft level description of all the steps related to the ML pipeline. I thought I had a basic understanding, but I am now seeing things like pre-training which I am not sure about (why pre-train, and what are you pre-training with). And fine-tuning which I understand better (at least the concept). I guess I am looking for a concept level definition of the verbiage/taxonomy used in the ML pipeline - ideally in chronological (pipeline) order.

I think there are more options than just "disappearing" the company. Why not break them up into commercial and defense companies? Or even better, tell them: You need to figure out how to break your staff and assets up into four separate, competing companies that all produce airplanes. Go! Probably many other ways to skin the cat, but the US population (proxied through government) is just unwilling to do anything. We treat companies with kid gloves and just let them walk all over us.

The advancement in AI and LLMs with decent context windows is a usecase I am excited about for all of this.

Because I can read a book without taking such a huge amount of notes, which makes it easier to stay with those ideas and quicker to read and then I can load a PDF of the book into an LLM and chat with it about the concepts in the book, use it to produce notes, or discuss ideas that were in it and ask it to cross reference it.

It also makes it easier for me to come back to it several months later, I find that this can be better than my notes, as if i remember something from a book that is now relevant, can be loaded into an AI and ask it about that specific part and the quotes that are relevant.

I did not do a full literature study of the claims of the article, as that was meant as an illustration of the point, and it was the first relevant link that popped up.

Whatever the alleged fabrications of the BBC might have been or not been for the Himba experiments, similar observations have been made for other groups as well, from Amazonian tribes, to population groups in Papua New Guinea, to Aborigines in Australia. And the MIT research link is discussing a very similar result.

That languages influence how you perceive and see the world has been well studied and is well documented.

No, it wasn't and no, it shouldn't be read as sarcastic. Microsoft should be praised for the backwards compatibility they enabled. That is a feat rare in operating systems today.

No it doesn't. Anyway, just going to school and being shot by a random person count as "some circumstance that isn't obviously going to cause misfortunes."

I'm with you there; you'll need some recall even when reading. You can't learn a new domain when the previously introduced concepts, vocabulary, or equations are inaccessible because you can't remember them.
I think your point is that panic is not effective. We should instead prepare for the externalities of a new technological development, and work to solve those. Is that more or less your position?
Yes, but the new cultures build will be artificially restricted to be compatible with shallow consumerism and technological growth. True diversity depends precisely on not being restricted this way. (Think of tribes, indigenous populations, etc.)
What is it you think managers do, if not waste all day on reddit?
We prefer writing our own SELECTs so we have more predictable performance, also it makes debugging production issues easier.

A poor ORM-generated query might be fast enough during testing but crashes and burns when it hits client's database. Not us, but a perfect example was the recent story discussed here[1] on optimizing an ORM-generated query to get 1200x speedup.

This is probably the best of the genre. I think the main weakness is that it's slow even by idle/incremental genre standards, and there will be times when the right action is to leave it alone for hours or days.
Which explains it's use in operating systems how exactly?
This just sounds like academia needs drastic reforms.

In Engineering we have 22 year olds directing technicians to do that kind of menial work.

The fact that the work is so unvaluable yet years were dedicated to it, seems like a failing somewhere. Not everything needs immediate economic value, but to see supposedly smart people not make 6 figures means:

>They arent that smart, smart engineers get picked up by irrelevant industries simply for being smart

>Someone is directing the smart people poorly.

Of course its both, the leadership of academia has failed us. Those who stick with Academia into PhDs and beyond are essentially second class performers who couldn't make it in Industry.
There's still the question though of why they didn't do this decades ago - seems very obvious that this layout is better. What changed that made it possible only now and not earlier?
Is it that scary? California has 40 million people, so it's about $500 per person. And the electric car mandate is 10 years out (2035), which means it's about $50 per year per person, and the median household income in CA is about $90K.

It shouldn't be that scary of a number.

While this does create dramatic videos, it does not represent much of an actual change. Most of these small drone operate well within the range of traditional infantry-killing weapons such as mortar shells. The tactics have changed, but the idea of an infantry unit killing another infantry unit at a couple miles distance isn't a revolution.
