The Treadmill Desk Might Really Be Worth It
The same as always, we crank up the resolution? Sorry to say but your 1080p and 1440p is already a few years behind, so "the next few years" aren't terribly exciting.
I'm a huge proponent of the web, but Apple shouldn't be able to dictate what stack I use to build an app, especially when they also control what capabilities reach the "open" web platform on their devices.
Android, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch to name a few.
However here are mental health struggles listed. Poor work life balance or loneliness are not mental health issues comparable to those NIMH includes.
Yeah, so perhaps there's no conspiracy of assassination. But if you're so shady that SO many people have come forward to blow the whistle that MULTIPLE are likely to die purely by chance in the course of investigation - you probably deserve whatever suspicion you're getting by that point.
Again out of touch.
Historically there have been many definitions. Being sublet without your own permission and worked for your owners benefit would be recognized as slavery the world over for thousands of years. Even the drafters of the 14th agreed.
Analyzing User Engagement with TikTok's Recommendations Using Data Donations [pdf]
Yes, with Upscayl, we’re already doing that (https://upscayl.org).

It’s not as fast yet but it’s extremely good. Good enough that you could print a low resolution image after upscaling.

I don’t think there’s any common ground with people who want to normalize masking in public.
Vaccine risks tend to be very quickly detectable. The phase three trial timing was driven by needing enough infections and there weren't enough.
When did I say there were as many deaths as in the early days? Back then it was up to 4000 a day, now it's still thousands a week during the winter. These are all preventable and wholly unnecessary deaths. People are sick all the time. If you can't see it in the mortality data, that means something else is compensating in the other direction... perhaps killing off so many vulnerable people has made average mortality decline?

You were sold "herd immunity", which means people don't get sick because the disease is prevented by immunity. Instead, we just have total society-wide saturation with COVID. It's a sick, fucked up situation.
Something can be unconstitutional if it indirectly but intentionally stifles e.g. right to demonstrate against an administration known to use violence against protesters.
> But also because self-awareness and the concept of self can be defined in quite practical terms too (e.g. a higher level loop on top of regular thinking referencing the lower level, or similar ideas like in Hofstadter).

I treasure my dog-eared copy of GEB. Having said that, Hofstadter sets out to argue for a "emergent phenomenon" explanation of consciousness, and I don't think his "loops within loops" argument works. It's not really an argument; it's finger-painting. He's trying to point in the direction of an argument (which is fine, even admirable; GEB is almost entirely concerned with allusion and suggestion. It's supposed to make you ask questions).

It's quite easy to argue that the idea of a self (or the sense of being a self) is emergent, or an illusion; it's much harder to explain "idea" and "sense" in those terms, unless you resort to non-conscious[0] senses and non-conscious ideas.

Basically, I agree that you can explain everything in terms of emergent phenonemena, except the subjectivity of consciousness/awareness. We experience it directly, we know it's real (it's the only thing we know!), and nobody has come up with a way of showing that it's real, or even saying what it is, or how we could show it's real. Dougie's loops are just a distraction.

[0] I say "non-conscious" rather than "unconscious" because I don't want Freudian woo to intrude.
Sweet God, is no one curating this site? This kind of thing is absolutely discreditive.
Lyrics of less popular songs are surprisingly difficult to Google without the artist name
We haven't seen any major illness spread with a fatality rate of >1% since introducing clean drinking water & having antibiotics.

Isn't that the exact story of the Spanish Flu? Low fatality rate at first which then mutated into a horribly fatal strain after the first wave? Isn't that why we took COVID so seriously from the get-go - the fear of mutation?
Ah. Sorry, I'm responding to a dozen different threads and I'm having trouble keeping all the context in my head.

I think your axiom #2 is almost certainly correct. But just because we can't know where all of the uncertainty lies doesn't mean we can't know where some of it does.
Thank you for listing these!
I'm not entirely familiar with tangled trees, but it seems like one of the larger differences is that a tangled tree isn't necessarily acrylic. For this example, someone could navigate away from one page, but potentially be linked back to it later down the adventure.
Modern Web Frameworks: A Comparison of Rendering Performance
And people will still say they dont trust Seagate because of the 3TB drives that failed over a decade ago.
In my experience, Google actually is the best search engine, despite all the ads. Everything else, aside from Bing, is just regurgitating content sourced from Google and Bing, but making it slower, clunkier or turning it into a crypto scam.
Web is a shit platform for most apps. Run code natively and locally unless it's simply not feasible.
It's not at all a given that these two thing are in conflict. The best path towards free TTS might well turn out to be to identify ways of making smaller models that are cheaper to train and improve on if/when we can split out things we know to do (be it with separate neural models or other methods) and train models to "fill the gaps" instead of the entire end-to-end process.

There are also plenty of places where the current modern "neural" models are too compute intensive / costly to run, and so picking just the current big models isn't an option for all uses.
Why Are Policy Languages Trending?
I wouldn't consider Long John Silver's a competitor to Red Lobster. LJS is fast food.

TGI Friday's, sure.
Maybe not fast food / fast casual, but at least in a trendy area (NYC, SF, LA, etc.) if a restaurant catches on, they're making way more than 15% margins because they can charge whatever they want and people will go because it's cool...

this would include coffee shops and other relatively low cost establishments
Apple doesn't even give you the option to program against the bare metal kernel and a GPU surface so that's a pretty unfair leading question.
I've been slowly getting drip fed bird flu updates through TikTok. Some on the ground people doing some pretty productive coverage. Reports of farms culling entire stocks, farms outright closing, lots of illness unreported. It's pretty wild.
yesterday it got me through that rabbit hole of link to some ... I don't even know what it was really, some kind of focus group maybe? Like, wtf just play the music.
Realty Income is higher risk and lower return net of taxes right now than e.g. some US treasury tracking ETFs. As an example, the effective yield on BOXX is only 0.25% lower than O, and can be recognized as long-term capital gains.

For a company like Costco with high revenue growth and a very low price/sales ratio, earnings are a fairly meaningless number for valuing the company and experienced investors know this. You have to finance growth with earnings and if they stopped investing in growth it would boost earnings at the new (higher) equilibrium. Investors take the long view.
After a certain level of zoom, simulation should be expected. Interpolation will only take you so far. If someone wants to zoom in 1000x and see a microscopic image, not just a smear of pixels, then so be it.

If you only want an image to be 100% realistic you must stay at the original zoom level.
It is possible to realize you only have 1 life, and still need to work to live.
That feature is almost assuredly not going to land on stable but the more general "deref_patterns" which would allow matching on boxed values, as well as on `Vec`s and `String`s will. It is not anywhere close to finished, but I am convinced it will land.
Was it?

When I made Big Macs in the late 80s, they were made of two "10 to 1" patties (i.e. 10 to the pound, 1.6 ounces each). That's still the formula, according to their web site.

I did see a Reddit post that claimed that the product was physically bigger from 1972-1975. It doesn't show the ingredients, and it looks from the picture as if it is bigger bread rather than more meat. (You can't see any meat in the photo of the bigger sandwich.)
This is great! Consider adding ":n" for "next lesson". As in - not having to grab the mouse every few seconds to go to the next lesson on a keyboard-only tutorial would be nice.

Oh, I think I wasn't clear on what "Start" would do. At some point the ball stopped moving but I kept cruising along by clicking the "Proceed" button. Also... not sure what toggle does.

Sure but it's been 15 years and the quality of the espeak command is equally horrible. I would have expected some changes ... especially considering even the free TTS inside Google Chrome is actually pretty decent, that could just be extracted and packaged up as a new version of espeak.
well this guy was 45 and described as healthy in the article, but shows up to the hospital with a mysterious lung problem and then gets MRSA

it's not exactly a smoking gun but you can't blame the guy's age, either. 45 is just middle age, I hope
I haven’t heard a conversation about the archival implications of these constraints in a good long time.

It used to be a somewhat common topic. The failure mode is not having enough hardware for copying from medium A to medium B, such that the bandwidth of the system means that by the time you try to copy the last archive to the new media, either the old media has decayed or you’ve already started copying to a new generation of storage because the oldest records in the new medium is already decaying.

And each generation there’s more to copy, soaking up the improvements in read or write time.
I'm the same age than OP, but spent most of my adult life living paycheck to paycheck. I have only obtained a comfortable income and bumped up the class ladder during the last couple of years, when I finally moved to the US working for Big Tech.

I don't know what is the point of this article other than a humblebrag. What should the takeaway for people struggling to make ends meet while working bad, low paid jobs be? Should I feel bad that I'll never get to retire before 40 because I didn't ride the high income wave since my 20s?
> the more you brag about having the money to retire, the more signals you send to the Fed and policy makers to keep cranking up the money supply treadmill to keep the pressure on working people.

If the FED used these articles for its policy, I really don't see a way out of this.
If we’re allowed to just say things without any supporting information, then my response is “Scientifically inaccurate”, which holds as much as weight as your “Mathematically accurate” claim :)
for pre-2023 songs you can probably just ask your local LLM I'd imagine
I did this as well but the problem I ran into is that Airtable is (or used to be?) terrible on mobile. Having just a single description field accompanied by a single checkbox in one view takes up two lines in the mobile ui.
> (apparent) suicide

The one where he specifically told his family beforehand that he wasn't suicidal...
I wonder how many whistleblowers (raw number or percentage) dying would cross the threshold where we don't give Boeing the benefit of doubt or explain it as a coincidence. Seems the answer so far on HN is "unknown but at least greater than two."
Oh yeah I would also retire from a job as soon as I hit 7 figures.

It's not hard.

In contrary it's just being either very happy with your live (which again is not hard if you earn a shit ton) or it's being tone-deaf and uncreative.

I have plenty of other things I wanna do before work comes up...

What a weird article to write tbh.
Thank you for everything you do!!
Excited to share BlockSurvey with the HN community! We built this platform to help Web3 companies collect valuable feedback from their communities and token holders. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on our project!
On one level, sure. But I spent my twenties and early thirties in medical school and residency - so even if I had time off to do things (which I often did not), I didn't have the money for them - certainly not skiing or diving, which would require an expensive flight on top of the costs of the activity itself. Hunting I could have done, as I already had guns and knew people who would let me hunt their land, but I don't much enjoy it.

Yes, live your life because you don't know what's around the corner. But OTOH it's not insane to decide that you're going to kick it hard at work through your forties and then relax - if you can be reasonably certain it's going to pan out for you.
The last three times I’ve had some sort of viral infection the doctors have not been able to ID it. They even did panel tests for the top 20 viruses and none of them were positive. There are thousands of viruses we have no idea about.
I have to dry this, thanks! Unfortunately I couldn't find samples on their git repo and it looks like it isn't apt-gettable. Maybe that's part of the reason.

They should make it so that I can do

sudo apt-get install deepspeech
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/deepspeech /usr/bin/espeak

Anything more than that is an impediment to mass adoption.

Seems they need some new product management ...
The big mac had around 500 calories when it came out in the 70ies, in the 90ies that changed to 640, at the start of the century they changed it to around 705, now its down to 500 again.
I agree with you on hardware but I'm not talking about hardware. I'm talking about UX. There is a huge difference between being iOS and being an app on iOS as far as access to the user of the device. There is no way to innovate on novel notification mechanisms, for example.

Friendly, people-focused developer looking for a new opportunity with interesting people. Self-driven, detail focused. High tolerance for weirdness and non-standard environments. Writes documentation.

Previous experience includes firmware and API for high speed cameras; indie games; triple-a game development; and some web stuff.
Many thanks!

The problem is that executives will ask "what makes Stardew Valley successful?" and never make it to this answer:

A developer who genuinely cares about the quality of the game, interacts positively with the community around it, and makes decisions that demonstrate his caring for the game and the community. Specifically, decisions that often leave revenue on the table, particularly in the short term but arguably in the long term as well.

That sort of caring is largely impossible for private equity, and it's really hard to successfully fake.
Building the Best GitHub Auto Labeler
no, it looks like it was a separate project, but stored in the same bucket. In the time I had access to the bucket (it's no longer public), it looks like they were scraping images from a dating site/app and each directory represented a profile.
Lsp.js: Using WASM and JavaScript to Support OCaml on Windows
It’s been more than a week since an attack on United Healthcare’s systems. (See the SEC 8-k disclosure here.) The details of the attack are scarce, but what we do know is that medical billing and pharmaceutical fulfillment services have been offline for many days. United Healthcare claims they took systems offline to prevent the spread of the attack.

Valkey: A Redis Fork with a Future
Personally I'd be happy to never see another masked person again, if you have an infection that you suspect is serious just stay home. If you have to go out you better wear a real effective respirator mask and not a piece of cloth.

But I'd rather prozelitize about taking measures for one's defense (everything to support the immune system, vitamin D, proper nutrition, etc), than the theatrical masking we've seen so far.

Again, if it's serious than at least wear a mask that offers some believable protection.
I have no love for Spotify or their business model (I am a "buy CDs/MP3s" kinda person), but frankly I think paywalling lyrics, parent controls, offline downloads, audio quality, etc... makes a lot of sense, and I think it's a lot more sustainable (and personally ethical) than advertising.

I much prefer companies have a degraded free tier than try to squeeze dollars out of a free tier by disregarding user privacy and selling to data brokers.

That said, I'm sure Spotify is going to do both.
Well, one reason could be that being kidnapped alone is much more scary than being kidnapped with all your colleagues.

Anyway, don't you think that 45 years of prison for locking up people for about an hour (when the police arrived) is ridiculous compared to e.g. the sentence for murder which is far less. It is literally ridiculous.
Did it drop to 1% post vaccination or were those figures normalized for that.
Firefox and Firefox Focus plus whatever other apps they have are on the iOS and iPadOS stores at least, maybe others.
It just seems too hard to resist the kind of money that forces you into the feature death spiral that Spotify has entered, that Dropbox is deep, deeeep into and that thousands of others have descended in.

What do these companies have in common? Venture capital? Genuine question.
Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I meant offsite.
> FYI 11,000 people die of MRSA every year.

In the US alone.
Is it? You need to normalize the price vs the market or industry. How has Boeing done compared to Airbus over the last 20 years? How about vs the market at large?
I wasn't entirely clear from the article what it is that the suit is demanding.

It seemed sort of like 2 different things:

1) to agree not to sue him for the creation of the tool

2) To not block the tool from working

The first one seems pretty reasonable. This kind of tool should be allowed to exist (and, honestly, shouldn't even require Meta's permission or approval, this should be legal-by-default).

However, as much as such a tool seems like a good thing to me (that is, if I still used facebook at all), it doesn't seem reasonable to force Meta to not change their service to prevent it from working.
Which doesn't mean they aren't necessary conditions. It just means they aren't sufficient conditions. A game needs other things too, one of which may be luck, and others of which may be incompatible with the private equity model.
"Science" isn't somehow immune from human need for recognition or be the best. That's why "trusting science" is the absolute lowest common denominator method of feeling secure.
If the landlord buys out the tenant then that typically means the unit is rent-controlled, which means the tenant does not have to leave, and their rent doesn't change, just because the building is sold (rent control goes with the building, not the owner). Just adding in case that's not clear to other readers here. Tenants can and do accept buyouts, but just pointing out that a tenant's rights under rent control do not end with the transfer of the property to a new owner.

I'm a full-stack engineer with special expertise in backend architecture and devops. I'm passionate about creative applications of technology.

Currently, I'm interested in building systems for gen AI pipelines, the intersections between crypto and AI, and applied AI for creativity.

* Led backend teams for game co with millions of users. Worked cross teams to build microservices / ML pipelines for RF classifiers (user spend, churn) that had real impacts on revenues

* Wrote smart contracts and algorithms for generative art in a successful NFT venture: https://opensea.io/collection/1989-sisters

* Built backend/AWS infra from scratch for a complex tax app. Plaid/OpenAI integrations. Did much of the design and hired/led two remote iOS engs. It failed, but saw some revenues and you can see what it looked like here: https://upward-prod.webflow.io/

Recent projects:

* Riddler – autonomous word game. Uses path-finding and LLMs to construct its own daily puzzles: https://www.riddler.game/

* Awestruck – real-time sound synthesis and streaming via WebRTC. Uses SuperCollider for music but I'm exploring applications for AI speech: https://github.com/po-studio/awestruck

AI Deception: How Tech Companies Are Fooling Us
Of course we aren't. Testing is very abnormal.

> Boeing will never fail financially or fall out of use because of their importance for US geopolitical status

If the trial concludes with “Yes boing knew the planes were not safe but let people fly in them” it doesn’t matter how important it is to the US, no passenger will want to fly them.
We still get regular outbreaks of Ebola, which has a near 100% fatality rate - in fact the fatality rate being so high is actually it's saving grace in a way, as it naturally limits the spread. If, like COVID, it had a several day asymptomatic period, it would wipe out the planet within months.

Paralytic polio, which has a fatality rate of 5-10%, is still endemic in parts of Africa and southern Asia.

Back in 2002 SARS killed 9.5% (783) of the 8000 people infected with it.

So, I call bullshit on "We haven't seen any major illness spread with a fatality rate of >1% since introducing clean drinking water & having antibiotics." (and for another thing, most of the really bad infection diseases are viral, not bacterial. Antibiotics do little to nothing).
