>I think emotionally non loaded interactions are possible here.

And proceeds to use emotionally loaded words like "moron" and "imbecile". No, the contempt comes from thinking that their way of living is intellectually(/morally) superior, hence, not a lifestyle. For perception of contempt, that's from not wanting their way of living to be seen as intellectually(/morally) deficient.

The very best VCs should be able to keep the contempt hidden, perhaps with profit rationalizations, like you, or moral rationalizations, like a dang, but I understand the curiosity to see if, when we put geohot+bunnie against 2 very equanimous VCs, which team will win the social media battle ;). Especially if we give your fave team a 1-dang handicap
There is a new shift in the understanding of coaching in sports called the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA). It's both super nerdy and practical (i.e., based on practitioners' empiric experience). Basically, it sees the body as a complex system of organs/tissues/cells that tries to solve movement problem under the pressure of different constraints. In a simple words, coaching then is the art of creating/manipulating constraints in order to optimize that search for the solution to the movement problem.

In a way, it's way deeper than "subconscious". A large portion of the science behind CLA is based on Nikolai Bernstein's works from the 1930-s (the guy who coined the term "biomechanics"). He wrote about the hierarchical model of motor control, where 5 different systems (that evolutionary are completely different) must work in synergy to solve the movement problem.

There is a great book that explains the science behind CLA called "How we learn to move" by Rob Gray.
A thousand bucks isn't crazy expensive. This guy spent ~$6,000 (inflation adjusted) on this couch he thinks is so great.
Can someone please explain how this is tolerated? Why is the guy not a laughing stock but a rector?

I could understand if it was some clever hidden cartel where people sneak in extra references that seem plausible, spread out over many people and articles. But to juts have cite only this guys garbage papers?

Also the citation / H-index metric clearly need improvements. It should be trivial to do clique detection and downrank such citations.
Interesting list. I have been working with routers for a decade now. Few things to note :

home router makers use boards from companies like QC, Broadcom, mediatek etc that provide a base configuration of a board and something like openwrt along with their updated drivers and a patched kernel to go with it. Generally these things run something as old as openwrt 15.05 when it comes to something like even wifi 6. It fits their purpose and time to market is small with a proven track record of stability. manufacturers put their modifications for their product lineup and sell it until they can make money. firmwares generally receive patches through their original SDKs and depending on severity the manufactures will send out updates which can take months since the vulnerability was reported or even patched in the SDK.

If you are absolutely worried about security you can see why the above model is weak to begin with. While you can do all these things in the list, it's not going to protect you from actual firmware vulnerabilities. Cheap routers never receive firmwares beyond like a few months or a year of launch. higher end ones are more frequent but they arent cheap and you can do much better at those prices.

depending on how serious you are about your network, a SOHO will likely opt for something like a router with opnsense or an OS that gets regular patches and then put an access point on top it. This is also tricky as the above issue is still true for AP makers these days as many of them use openwrt as well for their APs since the chips tend to be similar and as a result suffer from same issues depending on the maker and model.

If you look at Cisco lower end hardware like CBW150AX you may find updates (this one was the cheapest Cisco wifi 6 AP I could find) but you may not get the best performance or features which are available in the higher end ones or from other makers in the similar range. So you may consider paying for higher end APs and then you run into licensing etc. An alternative is generally finding routers with openwrt support and putting them in front your router in AP mode but the stability for an office environment is questionable. I have had weird issues with bands locking up and such APs straight up rebooting randomly in the middle of something.

There is really no one size fits all problem here if you are interested in security. You have to start from the OS and hardware first then move to the top of rules and lists and wireguard and keys and policies and separated LANs etc. What is listed above might take your home network from 10% secure to maybe 50% secure (just making a point). Some things will be better but may not necessarily do that much in the grand scheme of things especially if you run a small business.

Ride sharing is despicable generally, in large part because they fully crowded out (or absorbed) the independent Taxi model such that uber/lyft is an effective oligarchy

So as a function of life, if you don’t have people who will freely drive you places, and you don’t live in a place with public transport, and you can’t move, then you have no options on choices

Maybe back in 2012 there were people driving rideshare ina way that improved their lives but that number is so low at this point that getting into a rideshare is deterministically getting into someone’s car that doesn’t want to be there
If the cons cells are allocated linearly it's fine. Plus the fact that lisps have more data structures than just lists.

This is a nit-pick, but:

Travel agents are still around, but they’re not nearly as common as they used to be.

They are absolutely fantastic to have around when you want to discuss rather than plan the rote particulars of, for example, a “we saved for this one” vacation. A good travel agent has near-direct booking access to $GDS, has relationships, and vets and cross checks everything with a level of detail and experience that you really only get by doing it every day.

It has become something akin to the concierge industry.
Having worked in adtech for 6 years I learned through many-many conversations with friends and family that 1) they don't care to understand how it all works and 2) they don't believe it influences them.

Try to walk people through the Senate report on the 2016 election interference or The United States vs The Internet Research Agency. Most will dismiss it as nonsense.

This problem is like tobacco and sugar. It will only get better through regulation. The masses have no desire to fix it.
Sure. I agree Many of those things would be a net benefit. So why don't we have them?

It seems to me, the main reason is that representatives won't vote for them. Why not? Mainly because their financial and political incentives are structured in such a way that they can't. Why are these incentives like this? You can keep peeling back layers of the onion like this forever, but as some point you realize it's just due to structures of the system that will recreate themselves in any similar system. Like how wings evolved separately in different evolutionary branches but all conform to a similar structure. Any capitalist economic system will have methods for vested interests to inhibit many types of positive change.
Yeah, probably company politics. But this is also real.

What happened here was

1) that the techy guys convinced higher management that this is essential for success. (Replacing a fully functional CI/CD tool with another CI/CD tool)

2) The OKR deadline suddely got very close so instead of investigating how to do this step by step, it was decided they do it all at once without any detailed investigation how it affects all services. And without planning.

3) The customer feature teams of course did all the heavy lifting since it was their services that were affected.

4) 1.5 years later customer feature teams are still not done replacing the 150k lines of legacy CI/CD code with code for the new tool.

At what point do you hit the brakes?
Any situation where the program depends on the expression producing a new string each time it is evaluated, rather than returning the same string. The program may be modifying the string, on the assumption that nothing else has access to it, since it is brand new. The program could also be relying on the string having a unique identity, not comparing equal to any previously seen object. (E.g. assuming that each time the expression is evaluated, it produces an object that can serve as a unique key in an EQ hash table).

Any situation in which these behaviors cannot be ruled out (because the object escapes beyond the scope of analysis), the optimization cannot be applied.
Sadly, I've noticed that since covid started, a lot of places stopped having unsweetened tea. It appears to also correlate with the arrival of freestyle machines, which often have full sugar tea and diet sweetened tea options, but sadly unsweetened tea is disappearing.
Aw, I was hoping these were physical places.
I have plenty of nasty things to say about academia. But after about 15 years in artificial intelligence, more than 80 publications, and having worked with and interacted with 15 or so research groups, I have never seen this practice. It is possible that I have been lucky (sample size of one, too), but it is also possible that this horrible unethical behaviour is less common than in "almost every research group or collaboration". If someone have numbers with solid empirical backing, I would be happy to see them.
That a narrative. And a hard one to make. Between Justinian and the Arab conquest there is a lot of time and multiple emperor, many of those emperors made a lot of mistakes as well. To draw a direct line between Justinian and the Arab conquest is great for a grand narrative book, but I don't think its that clear.

Southern Italy and Africa turned out to be important in the fight with the Persian and the Arabs. Thinks like 'planted the seeds for collapse' isn't a strong argument for me.

Even with money issues its not clear that the empire was worse off when he left the scene.

Like many emperors he spend a lot of money and went on offensive wars to reunite the Roman Empire. He wasn't as successful as some, but more then many.

And the empire after him was strong enough to fight many wars against strong enemies, in the Lombards, the Avars and the Perians. So the empire clearly wasn't weak for the next century. The loss to the Arabs had more to do with Persian Wars that went on for decades.
There is in fact. You could build AI directly into the app to detect inappropriate content and block it.

The app has thus not violated end-to-end encryption, nor has that content been exposed to external parties.

Platforms could definitely do more.
Amen! There will probably be people that will have their jobs displaced though, and some adjustments will take place. We do know that change is sometimes painful. But overall, I agree with your sentiment.

I feel a lot of people are stuck in a sort of "broken window fallacy" where if you induce more work you induce more wealth, and that feels false to me.
Depends on the team. If your team has multiple roles then your OKR should match how much you should spend on each, ignoring an important aspect of your role in the OKRs doesn't help anyone.

I worked at a core library team at a big company, we had both OKR to improve the library and OKR to help people with issues in a reasonable amount of time. Both are important.

Anyway, in the end that isn't your decision to made, you were hired for a reason so a level or two above you should decide what is the most important here. So you disagreeing doesn't change that.

It is common for teams such as yours to prioritize the wrongs things, OKRs helps show such dysfunctions and makes it easy to fix. If you really are causing problems by deprioritizing customer requests then a higher level manager would go in and tell you to put that back on.

Anyone interest in the subject of traffic - I’d highly recommend the book:

I meant that as a founder I can't stomach reading startup and "startup life" content. There are more valuable lessons about building and operating a business in reading Mark Twain than there are in reading Marc Andreessen. So, when I read, I read entirely non-startup stuff.
It’s funny, I think a lot of us who didn’t come through high-level academia or post-graduate education activities have this perspective that those in higher education are amazing figures, above reproach, who do amazing works in society.

As I’ve gotten older, and had more of an opportunity to interact with these players, and read articles such as these, I now have the perspective that a lot of these folks are monsters and are some of the craziest, narcissistic, abusive people on the face of the earth. They run fiefdoms and hold power over money and prestige and those under them and because they are brilliant people, they have the ability to damage so many more people around them as they do their work.

"Switch" could be too harsh for some users, how about trying it out for some time first as a secondary option? Either grab an old device, or dual boot it on your current PC, or even use in "live" session. And be sure to share your pain points, be it hardware related, or community related, any feedback helps.
For me it consists of these questions:
1. Does it make a difference running it in 10 instances?
2. Is the required environment complex(what do i need to create the environment)?
> There are obviously other vital questions, like how people will be able to meet their material needs. Many have examined this question, with no final answer yet adopted as official policy for this contingency by any government. I am instead going to do something that may feel like cheating. I will go ahead and assume that people can meet their financial needs through universal basic income or other transfers and will solely concentrate on the question of whether people can and will be happy—or at least as happy as they are now—without work.

You've gotta be fucking kidding me with this.

We can barely agree on whether service workers should receive tips, let alone what a Universal Basic Income will look like at even a municipal level. You can't wave that away.

I really do not understand the exuberance to rush to a post-work future where AI controlled by private corporations meets most of our needs. I cannot see a future in which this doesn't end with mass unemployment and neofeudalism.

Case in point: Avital is Chief of Staff to the CEO of one of the most valuable and well-funded companies in tech right now. They stand to make significant fortunes if/when Anthropic undergoes a financial event. They will absolutely benefit from the increased worker pool that mass unemployment will create.
Ask HN: Would the C128 have been more successful with only one mode?
In particular, it could have had just a C64-compatible mode but with more memory and an advanced BASIC for C128-specific programs that could take advantage of these enhancements.

Would this have given the C128 more focus and resulted in more sales?
And as we well know, a good portion of CEOs are not good CEOs.
Let's be clear - this is not a medical device and is not presented or marketed as such. Software / apps definitely can be medical devices (SaMD) and if it was used in someone with impaired lung function for whatever reason, or replicated the functionality of incentive spirometers then it would be regulated as such. The medical device version of the app will be a separate app, initially for asthma and COPD, and will have other features specific to these conditions. There is lots of functionality that can be added - compliance, medication tracking, physical activity, educational modules that you don't get with a 10$ spirometer. This health version will be a Class I medical device and we will publish the results of any trials with peer review.

Lungy is currently an app for people with healthy lungs - breathing exercises and mindfulness are effective at reducing anxiety and stress symptoms.

I've never used it for business advice. But it is still useful to learn expert jargon if you want to find relevant discussions. For example, I use it to learn about DJing recently and yes, often it answers "it depends on your personal taste and the party you are playing, you can choose to do X, Y, Z, etc". Then I know that there is no right answer. ChatGPT learned to handle such multimodality to an extent, often it doesn't want to answer "just do X" in these situations even if I push it. Sometimes it gets a lot more precise if I give more context, like

- How to compose a mix? What parts of the tracks should I play and what should I skip?

- It depends on lots of factors <type of party, music genre, the crowd, etc>. There is no one size fits all answer.

- Ok, suppose I am playing an early morning set of melodic techno at a houseparty for friends. What would you suggest?

- Then your friends will probably be tired by the morning so it makes sense to insert more breakdowns, melodic techno is usually structured this way, hence blah blah blah.

Or you can ask for examples. I often struggle with distinguishing closely related EDM subgenres:

- Can you explain the difference between psybass and psybreaks?

- <a vague description>

- I still don't get it. Can you give me 5 iconic tracks in both?

- Sure thing, here is the list: <..>

Besides, there are open research problems in CS as well where there is no single solution. Then I learn the vocabulary and google recent papers on this subject.

I think fundamentally we have a lot more information available than a single person can ever handle. I find ChatGPT incredibly useful at navigating and summarizing this sea of information.
Amazing work Chang'e-6 team, amazing work China! Congratulations!
A rushed product pushed out before it's ready is a very small price to pay in the endless race for ever increasing profits. The tech companies who "really should know better" do know better. It just isn't something they care about or prioritize at all.
I'm wondering why the lifetimes as described in steps 2 and 3 need to be so explicit. Why shouldn't the borrow checker be able to infer them?
> people probably just tended to start dropping dead around 40, if not earlier. In reality, people tended to live comparably long to modern times, if they made it to adulthood

That’s not really true, though. As recently as ~1900 the likelihood of dying in your 20s or 30s was many times higher than now. Various infectious diseases were a huge risk at any age (even if the old/young severely disproportionately affected). Tuberculosis alone was a huge and killed massive amounts of young people every year, just consider how many artists, writers etc. died from it in the 20s/30s/40s and how it was a constant theme in fiction throughout the 1800s. Other currently easily treatable illnesses, malnutrition and/or dietary deficiencies resulted in a significant reduction in QoL even if they didn’t kill directly.

> For instance studies looking at classical Greeks 'of renown', found a median life expectancy was 70, and average life expectancy was 71.3

That’s mainly survivorship bias. Also I don’t think it’s actually true at all..

There were a few geographic pockets were average life expectancy if you survived childhood was close to that due to favorable climatic conditions, low population densities and abundance of resources/land (e.g. colonial New England) but for most of the population even in the most developed European societies that wasn’t the case.
the word "degrowth" isn't mentioned once in this interview fwiw. it's actually a rational take on resiliency in the face of an uncertain future, built upon the realities of biological change and history.
In my experience, LLMs are mostly useful if you already have expertise either directly in the field you’re asking about or in adjacent fileds. They’re also useful in fields which you are exploring so as long as your exploration does not need 100% reliability of information, which most domains do not. As far as business is concerned, however, there’s so much obscure regulation and (in VC) so many opportunities for others to take advantage of your ignorance, that you do really benefit a lot from having people who have been there and done that, and got screwed in the pooper a few times. LLMs aren’t that, at least not yet. So the bottom line is: do use them for things that don’t matter, retain lawyers, accountants, business andvisors, and other professionals to avoid getting screwed.

Citations attract grant money. Grant money makes you attractive to the institution.

The publisher have no reason to get at this, they actually profit quite a bit from research fraud.

Which also is very common. It took a long, long while before Macchiarini's fraudulent articles were retracted, same with some of the foundational Alzheimer-placque-articles.
