I assure you, wild birds are around.
The H5N1 tests are PCR (with an extra “reversed” step for RNA) and are, in fact, pretty reliable. The same was true for COVID. The bad covid tests were the early antibody tests which had a ridiculously high false positive rate that made them useless. But the manufacturers lied about the quality or just relied on the lack of statistical literacy to sell their product.
I have this issue for years now so that I am not noticing anymore. Even I started to pickup the absurd algorithm and can guess what will happen to my Desktops configuration when I plug that pro-brick to my external screens.
Safari on macOS uses passkeys without phone. So unless you consider security chip inside macbook a separate device, that's not true, that's just one of modes.
It's crazy to see people denying that (meat) factory farming is a problem. You'd expect most of the public of this website to be rationalists in one way or another. Of course factory farming is an aggravating factor for the spread of diseases. Of course we can thrive with less meat consumption or none. How is that even a question?
Translation: the solution is overcomplex and has so many failure points that it has already proven to be worse than passwords.
What do you mean?
My comment had more to do with the very popular use-case where folks goto cloud for things like photo storage, calendaring, email, work collaboration, data storage, etc. And that's fair enough. But every single one of those instances can be hosted yourself with min/mid-amounts of effort. That's a great way to bring control back to the user. It's not going to be a 100% anonymous solution, though, if that's what you're after.

That's the first time I've seen that quote. That last sentence is so true and applies to so many things. It can sort of be summed up as "being, not doing".

It reminds me a lot of comedians. I remember listening to a podcast with Theo Von where someone asked him if he liked rats. Without hesitation he casually replied "I once had to share a room one night with 2 umm... not rats but the limousines of rats -- ferrets".

I don't think there's much preparation or studying for saying that, you need to "be" it not "do" it.

I know the quote literally ends with "do and say the obvious", but I think "being" is what allows that to happen. "Doing" in my mind is cramming hard right before a test or interview and "being" is walking in with no preparation and acing it.
Thank you for bringing this up! The plot thickens: https://shottr.cc/s/1CXn/SCR-20240426-cm4.png
>Frankly, I don't know of any other hobby with a comparable amount of gatekeeping.

Personal computing, and particularly FOSS.

>the hobby just lost its luster. It used to be this magical way to connect with friends and strangers. Now, cell phones and the internet make it a lot less magical.

I surmise personal computing tomorrow will be the ham radio of today. We're already seeing the disillusionment among the masses and particularly the young.
> What other problems kill this approach?

The copyright regime.

Artists (especially music) are currently navigating a very tight legal landscape where the works they are producing might get flagged as infringing even if they took every reasonable precaution. For example: sounds that sound similar to an existing sample, or note progressions that are fiercely defended by companies who use the residuals as their primary income source.

This can cause an issue if the artist releases a work and does not receive enough to defend themselves in court, especially as the work would now be very hard to take down and the artist may even have trouble stopping the income from coming in.

Source: I’ve been thinking about this “everything is released for free once the artist is paid” approach for a while and I think there are some notable wins esp. around the Patreon model where artists can know the eventual payout before they start making. I think it has amazing potential as most content becomes “free” anyway and it would make it so much easier for fans to share openly netting in more plays, more likes, and more fans.
Every time I see DP0GVN in my list of received WSPR transmissions on WSPRnet.org, I smile about bothering the penguins.

This is pretty typical for industry in the USA and SV. I agree with the criticism, but you can expect that almost everywhere.
Words have multiple meanings. In that context, “sanity” means something like “reasonable and rational behavior” (look it up in a dictionary!). It’s counterproductive to forbid the use of words just because someone is somehow unable to differentiate between the multiple meanings words have. That would be insane — as in “highly unreasonable”, obviously.
> Systemd is a step backwards.

It totally is. I see the appeal: it's, on the surface, easy. But this comes at a cost.

Turning Linux into Windows by replicating svchost.exe shouldn't be applauded by the Linux community.

I'm glad the BSDs are still out there and I'm glad there are still non-systemd Linux distros out there and I'm even more glad some systemd distros haven't completely shut the door on moving back away from systemd.

Do I write a systemd service once in a while? Yup, I do. Is it easy? Kinda, at first. But we shouldn't be too excited about superficial simplicity. Something has been lost in exchange.

The monster systemd squid spreads its infinite tentacles on everything it touches while being PID 1, making sure that a countless number of current and future exploits (or backdoors) are possible.

We've got Linux's PID 1 (for most distros) controlled by a MS employee, who replicated Windows' svchost.exe. And people are all excited?

I personally cannot wait for another, better, init system to come out and replace systemd.

Meanwhile I'm glad there's choice: OpenBSD, Alpine Linux, Devuan, etc.
Thanks!

Do you believe all 8 billion people could live like Americans in a sustainable way? Do you believe we could produce enough meat and animal derived products in a morally sustainable way? Looking at film of the conditions of the animals in factory farms it’s clear the meat portion of our food supply is grossly immoral.
You left out one step/criteria:

- constrain joints so that they can be cut with a tool on a CNC with the material secured on the machine in a convenient fashion in a reasonable period of time

which is something I've been working on.
That's not usually how comedy writing works. While some comics may write a bit from hundreds of different angles, most I've written with find it hard to deviate from a specific take after it has occured to them, whether or not the audience finds it funny. Bad comedic writing vs good comedic writing isn't about exploring every angle, it's about digging deeply into the angle that you find funniest, which is usually an instant, undefined perception.
Everyone who uses BSD says the same thing, but it's still unclear to me what you mean. What inconsistencies does Linux have that BSD does not?

I've looked for an explanation, but I only get high level explanations, or specific features like jails.

>Yeah, they added scammy crypto coins to their offerings for "payments" which is already a solved problem.

>Stripe is now openly endorsing crypto scam coins

This is hysteria, not a rational opinion. USDC is supported by Circle and Coinbase, both of which are audited, and there's nothing inherently scammy about accepting crypto payment methods.

I suggest you read up on the very basic and fundamental differences between law and ethics. Sometimes they overlap, but it's not a necessary requirement. Indeed, there are many many examples of laws around the world that you will find unethical.

You've got an idealized version of humanity in your head. Don't get me wrong, there are many real things to be deeply worried about (e.g. overshoot, nuclear proliferation and the relegitimisation of eugenics) but the monetization and commodification of 'private spaces' are not historically unusual, not worsening and not inherently wrong.

Some suggested reading - Bataille, Foucault, Negri and any social histories of the 1800s.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into this.
I'm not sure. Maybe I'm caught in the hype but I feel like possible is one thing, scalable is another.

We're at the point now where, for example, a leak of phone number + address book would enable a high quality, large scale automated impersonation pipeline that many here could put together in a weekend.

Install a compromised app (or just be a once-user of a newly-compromised app), then answer the phone for a minute and then everyone you know receives a somewhat believable phonecall to empty their wallets / your accounts?
Yep. I don't have much experience doing it with my macbook but on Windows it's source of rage. 2 options:

- physically block the hot plug detect pin on all of your display cables. Now you can turn off your monitor!

Bonus points for everything related to 'windows' and 'virtual desktops' being un-googleable terms.

It cuts out the necessity for a password manager browser extension to handle stuff like autofill, password generation, etc. Those extensions have had fairly significant vulnerabilities in the past. So you're reducing the attack surface, as well as getting a cryptographic guarantee against phishing (the signature the client returns include the domain that sent the challenge).

Edit: The other great part is that the server just stores your public key, so it's idiot proof on their end. It makes a breach effectively useless, since offline cracking is impossible.
There are so many small ways the common people can express support or disapproval. It's not as simple as "are they currently revolting with pitchforks".
FWIW, I was told that those parts are not wasted, but instead used for animal (e.g. for dogs, cats) food instead.

Lab-grown meat is meat, not grain. It's produced in bioreactors and the like. It doesn't really exist in any meaningful sense yet, though.
That is good - in theory. But your if political opponent is strong in the populated corners and you got no visibility it's not a good situation for your campaign.
it kind of depends?

For every rich and wasteful person in the world there is a poor person that lives in scarcity and „offsets“ the wasteful lifestyle. So we’re kind of at a limit when you want to make a genuine effort to continue fighting poverty.
I got off social media (mostly) a few years ago because it looked like a significant portion of users would be locked in an overly-evaluative state of mind by it when commenting. This person sucks, or that brand should be canceled, or such and such isn’t exactly to my specifications. And it was clear that these users weren’t exactly happy. It was like they were an avatar of a weird collective of thoughts that needed to express itself and humans were just fuel for the fire.

I don’t think we were made to be in an evaluative state of mind as much as social media disposes us to.

More to the point, I don’t want to be like that. So I left. It was an easy decision once I saw this. It’s gotten much worse with every passing year. Weird Internet is now anywhere with a comment section.
My WindowServer is sitting at 30% CPU and 15% GPU on an M1 MacBook Pro and I have no idea why. I reboot the Mac more often than I rebooted my dogshit HP enterprise laptop.

MacOS is just a bad OS. It's good if you only ever use the MacBook as a laptop, but the moment you hook it up to a useful setup, it becomes a drag.
Probably because governments can just buy the corporate surveillance results, bypassing any shoddy protections that even exist completely. So corporate surveillance is government surveillance.

Most antibiotics fed to cattle are used to bias the population in their digestive system to optimize feed conversion, not for infection control. Milk is discarded if the cow is being treated for an infection, so it's not like they just do nothing else to keep them healthy.

First look up Barkhausen criteria, then read the following. For ring oscillators gain will be greater than unity for only those waves whose period matches the gate delay. Only one such wave exists since the gate delay is a fixed number.

The menu bar is at the top because it’s always been there, but moreover it makes it easier to click menus as you only have to flick your cursor to Y=0 and then move it in the X dimension laterally instead of having to find a small target on a window in the middle of the screen. On other OSs it’s more common to maximize windows.

Distinguishing between processes (applications) and windows just makes sense.

For example say you download something in your browser, then you open a new window, then you close the original window. If windows = processes then closing the original window should cancel the download (because you killed that process), but we all know that would be nonsensical. So user intuition is that there is one main process and multiple windows.

Apple does allow for closing the window to kill the process. However only if there is one main window, such as the calculator app. If there’s multiple windows possible (such as in a text editor or web browser), then closing all windows does not quit the application because the user may want to close a window and then open a new window (e.g. open document or new document).

> ‘Secondhand smoke’ is not actually a thing which has an effect. It’s a propaganda term which ought to be avoided. Old folks today — i.e., the ones who look so much younger than old folks a generation ago — spent their childhoods and adulthoods absolutely surrounded by cigarette smoke, and smoking bans came in far too late to have an effect this recently. Compare never-smoking Boomer children of heavy smokers today to never-smoking Boomer children of non-smokers: there’s no appreciable difference.

Color me skeptical for a few reasons:

1. From what I understand the negative effects of air pollution more generally are pretty well documented at this point. Cigarette smoke is just one more source of particulate matter in the air which has those ill effects. Just one that was perpetually present at (more or less) all times everywhere.

2. Complete smoking bans are relatively new (although in some places going on 30 years old at this point) but restrictions on where you could smoke happened more gradually. Also the amount of smoke being inhaled by non-smokers is a function of how many smokers there are as well of rules about where you can smoke. The percentage of adults who smoke peeked in the early 1960s and started declining more rapidly in the early 1970s.
Your first paragraph is spot on.
Ironically this is the topmost comment as I write this.

Outside of Medium which gets shat on for good reason imo (used to be good, now a mess of paywalls) I've not come across this sentiment.

Ask HN: Who are building a product without AI?
You say you expect most people on this website to be rationalist and then you also say that you expect most people on this website to be rationalist.
To answer what can be done, as an industry: stop overfunding and overemphasizing attempts to leverage cutting-edge technology, with all its unknowns and bugs, into The Answer To All Our Problems. Instead, take existing, well-understood technology, and fulfill a dream deferred. A concrete example: back in 2012, what was all the rage? Cloud. Everything's going to be in The Cloud. The Cloud is going to solve all our problems. (Aside: A decade on, couldn't it be argued that cloud-enabled SaaS has become the source of a lot of our problems? Oops.)

Then, a guy in his garage goes, "Oh, btw, did you know that we could totally take cell phone screens and make relatively cheap virtual reality headsets with them?"

"If only we had~" mindset versus "Look what we can do with-!" mindset.
I don't know. I feel like criticism on HN is usually at least well-founded and obvious dumb takes get downvoted immediately and then we just move on. In my limited experience, reddit and other platforms are much worse. I read HN on my way to work and not my local newspaper because the community is much less toxic.
Not really. The best models that we have to explain measurable physical phenomenon are wave equations from quantum mechanics that describe probably distributions. There have been proposals for nearly a century that a deterministic model underlies this, but they have to contend with observed phenomenon and inconveniences like Bell's Theorem that suggest that our universe just isn't deterministic.

That said, we don't have a unified theory of the universe. General relativity, the dark matter question, and quantum mechanics have not been unified into any mathematical theory. All of those theories are pretty weird, mathematically. And we have no efficient way to simulate on classical computers the models that we do have.

We don't live in a billiard ball universe. It's a CS fantasy that evaporates as soon as you start doing experiments on matter and energy in the actual universe we are in.
> The point isn't that Google can't build a better CDN. The point is that we don't want ISPs creating a situation where they've inked a deal with Google to prevent good performance from YouTube competitors. We don't want a situation where "YouTube is the exclusive 4K video provider on ISP-X."

Definitely not, and I would never advocate for that -- I was perhaps being slightly pedantic in the above comment :-)
How about depart().
Pro-rate it. If the prosecution loses 1/5 counts, the defendant is reimbursed 1/5 of their total legal expenditure.
The reality is the original story touches on issues that effect all knowledge workers. Since you have to use your brain that can be distracted by trauma and pain (though apparently the effect isn't universal, or "even"), experiencing tragedies in life also typically means career problems too, which are also traumatic (unless you're "immune").

I've seen this play out in a number of situations over the years. Myself included. Due to the high pay that comes with "senior", I'm now facing my second in a row job I will probably be pushed out of, due to having a disability.

You hear of it all the time with divorces. Deaths that you respond poorly to. I think most places give you 0.5-2 years, which I think they did. It's an issue that's still going unaddressed.
Exactly!! The article doesn’t even get the paper right, but the paper doesn’t even talk about actual incidence rates within the non smoking population!

I don't think there's anything in particular that stops us from routinely adding a H5N1 strain into the current flu vaccines. It's just a question of cost-benefit. And as the sibling post notes, getting an avian flu into human form right now is definitely more involved. I imagine if we started using mRNA influenza vaccines, that might change the relative cost.

I suspect with the apparent extinction of the B/Yamagata line, that'd free up a slot in the quadravalent vaccine.

> The thing about evidence is that it can be contested.

The danger is in the court of public opinion where just having the conversation is damage enough. If you have to go out there and fight it then you give it even more visibility and it takes your focus and resources away from more useful activities. At the end of the day many people only remember the accusation, not what comes after.
