At least in the political realm, memes have worked for a very long time - at least more than a century, maybe even millennia. An example: "Ma, ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House. Ha ha ha." Another: "Peace. Bread. Land."

So I would say that there seems to have always been a segment of the population on whom political memes were effective - probably more effective than longer discourse.

Now, you could argue that more people are in that camp today. I can't argue with that; I don't have any data one way or the other. But I would at least suggest the alternate possibility that it's more visible today that people are in that camp.

> Sweden was "neutral" but big on nazism topics such as eugenics.

Social Darwinism, including eugenics, was quite socially acceptable until the Nazis made it unpopular by association, and even then many countries (US, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, I forget which one in Latin America that sterilised poor women without telling them, etc.) still continued practising some parts of it for decades after. It only really became accepted as flat out wrong in the developed world what, in the 70s-90s (as an example, Canada's last residential school closed in 1997)?

Is more always better? If your routine is maintenance focused and you can do 100 crunches and pull-up and pushups and body weight squats, wouldn’t you be getting most of the brain-health benefits or do they only come by getting stronger and stronger and stronger? Are there not diminishing returns?
Game dev is one of the most unconstrained software domains. On the one hand it's what makes it exciting and endlessly interesting, but it's also what can make it a nightmare.

It's worth reading to the end to catch an important note about overtraining/lifting too heavy.

Gym/weightlifting culture has an unsurprising amount of 'macho' nonsense attached to it. An example might be doing deadlifts with a traditional barbell vs a hex bar. The latter is a safer lift, because it involves less shearing forces on your spine and the more natural hand positioning. You get most of the benefits, with less risk, but it isn't the traditional lift, so it's looked down on.
> Is it contextual?

Yes. How decided? Pretty easily sometimes. (In your example, it depends whether the impact of the solution exceeds or not the time bargain or constraint).

Do you see that those metrics you are requesting are very doable, just sometimes not worth expliciting - common sense should do?
You’re providing a good example of how partisan bias makes you both snarky and stupid. For your own sake you may want to check that impulse.

Otherwise, you are, despite your sarcasm, stating the truth. Nevertheless it might behoove you to learn more about how the US system operates. Like Biden after him and Obama before him, Trump had the choice to either sign the continuing resolutions that Congress sent him, or to refuse to fund the government altogether. This is something called Hobson’s choice and it’s not really a choice at all.

Ask HN: What questions do you ask a startup during an interview?

I feel like AI healthcare is probably where we will see the largest benefit in the long term. Being able to analyze a large amount of the chemical interactions in the human body, and correlating those interactions to the emergence of disease and disorder seems like a good fit for the technology.

Ask HN: Would you try an app to consolidate and search your digital footprint?
The other day I spent a couple of hours trying to extract the data for my runs from Nike Run Club's servers. They have shut down their public API but thankfully some GitHub repos presented working solutions.

As I browsed through ten years of my run data, I had the idea of creating a software that let's you extract all (or most) of your online data and then search it using natural language queries. It is intended to help you piece together the puzzle of your digital footprint/history.

For example, by integrating with cloud storage (Dropbox/Drive), browser history (Firefox/Chrome), fitness apps (NRC/Strava), blogging/note-taking software (Obsidian/Bear), bookmark services (Pocket/Omnivore) and entertainment apps (YouTube/Spotify), you should be able to get answers to questions like –

* "What was my average running pace in July 2019? Show me all of my trail runs from that time."
* "What all recipes did I save in 2020?"
* "When did I start writing about TypeScript? Which tech blogs was I reading at that time?"
* "What videos was I watching between 2015-2017?"
* "Show me the artists I discovered on Spotify during the pandemic."

My intention is to build a local-first and privacy-first solution with a simple SQLite database. The user should be able to do whatever they want with the extracted data. A savvy user might build their own GUI, while a not as savvy one might just like to archive their data in a personal storage server.

Does this sound like a good idea? Is it something that you would want to try? Do similar solutions already exist?

P.S. When I told my brother about it he called it "the god app" which I thought was pretty funny and accurate.

The right way to view notebooks is as.. notebooks. Text and visualizations that can run online code. They are for presenting!

You would need a tremendous amount of incompetence and a lack of any code reviews or tech leadership at all to end up deploying a notebook to production.

Your intuition, and your heart and head.

Children become most like whoever they spend the most time with. So, one of the best things you can do is just be the type of person you want your children to grow up into -- and spend time with them.

But this is not a binary thing, but a gradient. Your children will also learn from the other people they encounter, and care must be taken to make sure the community and school they reside in is also one that exerts the influence you want it to (e.g. look at the parents of the schools you want to send them off to, because it will be a look into what sorts of kids your children will interact and grow with).

There is also an emotional component -- which either you know how to handle or you don't (or will learn in the process). Perhaps this is the most important one, because if you neglect it, your children may fit into society and your ideals, but they will be deeply troubled and unhappy.

Keeping vigilant, present, and aware of your children's emotional state (and helping them deal with such) is a vital -- often neglected -- part of parenting. The other one would be keeping an eye on their health. There are numerous chronic health issues that could pop up that would greatly influence the way they see and experience life -- such as inherited diseases like celiacs, neurodivergence, etc. -- that must be accounted for. But also fitness, good nutrition, and the rest that guarantees your children won't be living life handicapped.

Other than that, no. Much of the "parenting books" have been very harmful, and more than useless. Most books that get published are not published because the info is true and wholesome, but because someone thought they would be commercially useful. You're better off talking with other parents who you respect about how to deal with specific issues. So what I've written above is a decent start.

What do you mean? The examples show use cases we have to think of. When designing worlds, or at least rooms players walk in freely, these questions about doors must be answered.

Ideally, of course, we could just physically model them, and then: wooden doors can be hacked away with an axe, a steel door could perhaps be forced using a crowbar but not if the frame is reinforced, etc. But, the modelling based on actual physical behavior is hard, both coding wise as well as computationally wise. So, we accept that we must do a simplified model and yet we must make it not too simple so that it still believably acts as a door in the virtual world.

Context Aware Abilities (nothing to do with AI as such)
These are exactly the issues I would have guessed you would run into when using Python in a spreadsheet. Python has really been promoted above its level of competence. It's not suitable for these things at all.

I would say Typescript is a more obvious choice, or potentially Dart. Maybe even something more obscure like Nim (though I have no experience of that).

I get that you want compatibility with Pandas, Numpy, etc. but you're going to pay for that with endless pain.

Each game though is super narrow, and is built on OS primitives already established. An OS must be all things to all users and all devs, so some complexity and bloat are inevitable.

> What we need is physical community based social media - ie: a facebook with only your high-school, which becomes inaccessible upon graduation.

That’s a really interesting suggestion. It reminds me of haolez’s comment yesterday (abridged by me) [0]:

> I was a CTO and was a member of a group chat for CTOs. We had very insightful and rich discussions about topics that affected our roles, like vendor reputation, frameworks, team management, talent acquisition and so on.

> The group became popular and the admin […] merged all group chats into a single one of thousands of users. […] What ended up happening was that the discussions plummeted in quality, where a very noisy minority would take up most of the space in the discussions. There were some high profile CTOs that stopped engaging at that point.

> This left me wondering if there is enough demand for smaller social networks with very limited visibility that can foster rich and insightful discussions (although this sounds like forums from the nineties).

———

Both of you get at the same point - private and manageable (and moderatable) communities are probably a much better option to allow everyone freedom to interact without feeling insignificant (due to size), and with the right moderation, can be a place which allows healthy conflict, discovery and rule-bending, and the other things that we were able to get up to as kids without our parents knowing, while maybe being moderated by a third party who isn’t acting as an authority figure (people won’t get in trouble for reasonable rule-testing), maybe even some sort of private task-specific bot which looks only for egregious bullying, hate, and scheming?

I really like your suggestion and would love to see it fleshed out.

The one thing that I feel differentiates from current-day is that I would like to see automatic enrollment (or ability to enroll) for everyone from the target audience, e.g. not student-run and only one clique, but nothing wrong with it also allowing private sub-areas. There shouldn’t be a technological or social barrier to entry, it should be up to each person (child, in this example) to log in and participate. That would probably help a lot of the shy or socially awkward kids bridge the gap.

>If done properly, the gym will teach you periodization and allow you to: - practice different repetition patterns

Does periodization even matter? Professional fighters are some of the fittest athletes on the planet, functionally and aesthetically, and they aren't worried about weightlifting routines (if they lift weights at all).
I never recommend anyone do deadlifts. Deadlifts can cause back injury if not done properly. You shouldn't do deadlifts unless you are a serious lifter who is aware of proper form and paying attention to it.
After what happened with Adobe, Microsoft and Sonos this past week, I have decided to try limit my use of American products. Don’t get me wrong, I love the USA - I have tonnes of family there and I have met some super nice people on my months long holidays there too…

But.

There is just too much poison coming out of Silicon Valley in my view. Awful choices in pursuit of our personal information, ‘Recall’ demonstrates how Silicon Vally is sick in their pursuit of trying to get even more stinking rich.

So yeah, I decided to try to remove as many American products and services from my life. It’s going to be tough. I have invested 5 digits in Apple tech over the past couple of years. It’s all to be sold now.

Switched Microsoft for Linux and OpenBSD, and I have a lot more tech to get rid of.

I know this sounds extreme, but I don’t want to fund these companies. I am partly responsible for funding then as it is, and I am out now.
I think Apple’s approach to (more or less) private local AI, with short term reliance on OpenAI makes sense.

When I listened to the Apple Developer’s presentations this week I always filtered everything said with “they are talking about proposed product updates, and some existing working functionality.”

I have been enjoying running all of Apple’s beta iOS, iPadOS, and macOS beta releases this week, and there are nice features in Photos, Calendar, etc., but we need to wait to see what they release next fall.

I am not an Apple developer, really, I did really well selling a Mac app in 1984, and a Mac app I wrote two years ago had pathetic sales. That said, I have been trying the beta Xcode with LLM code completions, etc., and I have been experimenting with MLX and Apple Silicon for a long while. Apple is definitely an interesting player in the AI product space!

Basically C semantics are to blame, due to the way C was designed, and the liberties it allows its users, it is like programming in Assembly from a tracing GC point of view.

Meaning that without any kind of metadata, the GC has to assume that any kind of value on the stack or global memory segments is a possible pointer, but it cannot be sure about it, it might be just a numeric value that looks like a valid pointer to GC allocated data.

So any algorithm that needs to be certain about the exact data types, before moving the wrong data, is already off the table in regards to C.

As a German who lived abroad a long time, but moved to Berlin eight years ago, here’s my (completely personal) assessment of why Germany is going down the drain economically - and will continue to do so:

1) Mindset and Culture. The idea of entrepreneurship, hard work and reward for risk is becoming completely alien to Germans. New technologies and high growth sectors are almost exclusively perceived in terms of their risks and downsides. Security, reliance on the government for problem solving and tall poppy syndrome are paramount.

2) Overly complex civic systems. Germans always were famous for their bureaucracy. But government interference in the most minute details of running a business, endless red tape and micro regulations have made it largely impossible to be competitive on the international stage.

3) Poor Work Ethic. What? The Germans? Aren’t they known to be the hard working ones? Well - somehow, our trains are also known to be the punctual ones. These cliches might have been true during the “Wirtschaftswunder” - but today, Germans work the fewest hours of any OECD country.

4) Climate Focus. Germany’s government is focused on a largely ideologically driven understanding of climate change prevention. It’s not just that Russian gas is no longer available - in addition all nuclear power plants were shut off. Climate regulation and taxation also adds to rising energy prices and production costs.

5) Worker Rights: Germany has very high levels of worker protections, making it hard to scale workforces up and down and near impossible to dismiss employees for performance reasons.

6) High Taxes. Germany has some of the highest corporation and personal income taxes in the developed world. And while e.g. Scandinavian countries have even higher taxes, in Germany it doesn’t feel like you’re getting something of equal value back from the state. This is of course highly subjective.

7) Few Future Industries. Germany’s industry has focused on gas powered mobility and advanced machine building - and has become a world leader in many of these areas. It has, however, very few software, AI, or other companies that make up the bulk of e.g. the US economic growth.

There’s probably many more - but this might paint a picture from the inside.
