There is no mention of increasing effort for a project that was already known to exist. This is like saying Apple choosing to decommission the Pro line of the iPhone is clickbait because they’re still going to be developing iPhones.

I checked with the mod and they weren't trying to bury the story but rather to downweight it less than we normally would, in keeping with the #1 rule I described upthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40712900).

The intention was to downweight it enough that it wouldn't be near the top of the front page but not so much that it would leave the front page. That's the same thing I would have done, btw.

It looks like what happened was that more user flags came in and that, together with the moderation downweight, moved the story off the front page. Eventually we noticed this and restored it to the lower part of the front page, which is the standard practice for stories of this kind, which we'd never allow to be on HN's front page if they were about anybody else. (Though, as someone pointed out to me, this story wasn't negative about YC.)
It is counterintuitive and they're changing it.

Exactly. If we can have (or at least used to be able to) physical sliders that work as both inputs and outputs, then why no wall switches? I want my wall switches be in sync with the state of smart devices - like, if I turn off a smart light remotely via an app, I want the corresponding wall switch to physically flip.
I do this too, sometimes I wonder what all has changed in 24hrs, so this is great. I will even keep a tab open untouched so I can see what was open before, and open a new one. Making "snapshot tabs" if you will.
An interesting way to think about it, but if it did that perfectly... wouldn't it effectively be human-level intelligent?

Sure, it isn't any _particular_ human, but I don't see a big difference otherwise.
I think you're talking about different things. It's true, the Earth is substantially non-spherical. But things like mountains are tiny irregularities on a smooth (not-perfectly-spherical) surface.
Since human brains and DNA are more complex it is reasonable to suspect the generational transference to be greater than in mice.

> I'm amazed by how cells know what to grow 'into' as well - especially since stem cells seem to be able to grow into just about any body part?

AFAIK the current explanations for this often involve electrical and chemical gradients, along with "timer" cyclic reactions among groups of cells.

A contrived example: Suppose the first progenitor cell buds off two children, where one is set to be "Emit Head signals, flee from Tail signals" and the other is "Emit Tail molecules, flee from Head molecules". These two daughter-lines promptly zip off in opposite directions, and now there's a kind of chemical Head-to-Tail measure in the middle for differently-calibrated cells to arrange themselves on.

Then it buds off some cells that are tuned to create a line in-between the two poles, and those cells generate/follow a certain chemical "beat" in order to subdivide, and if the beat lasts X cycles they create X striped zones, which might become chunks of a spine...

In that case they should send some free dev kits to developers, because most are not going to be interested in spending $3500 on top of their paid Apple developer license for the privilege of feathering Apple's gilded moat.

You as misinterpreting their reply. The fact that the Poisson distribution falls off exponentially is because the longer you wait, the more likely that the very next event has already happened. Once an event happens, that specific event cannot happen again so the probability is low after long distances and/or time intervals.

This effect only shows up when you are looking at the probabilities of individual events- when you look at the aggregate results after a long time, they are totally random, and no more likely to occur next to one another. The exponential nature of the Poisson distribution does not cause any clumping.

If you survive a plane crash, you are still no more likely to survive another plane crash than a regular person, unless you do something else that makes it no longer independent, and therefore no longer following the same Poisson distribution as everyone else (e.g. you fly a lot).

However, assuming standard behavior, if you do get in a plane crash, you are more likely to get in your very next plane crash in the next year, than in year 10. However, a person never in a plane crash is also equally more likely to get in their first plane crash in the next year than 10 years out. And you are still just as likely to get in a plane crash in year 10, just not your next one.

Poisson clumping is just a result of human bias-sort of like an optical illusion. We incorrectly expect random things to be evenly spaced. Music players with random shuffle for example, will often seem to play the same song over and over, and will only feel 'random' when they are modified to be non-random such that they avoid playing the same song within some time interval.
I'm confused by this thread. Signal does have backup options (just not on every platform). https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007059752-Ba...

I think Windows has an unofficial option. But yea you're out of luck on macOS and iOS it seems.

This is not the same as Gb/s. There's a few percentage points difference due to error correction.
Will schematics be available to repair shops for this mainboard too? I wonder if it being developed by a partner changes anything.
Why not just give it a series of directions e.g. go one step forwards, turn right, etc like a LOGO program, and then ask it if it is back to the start or not. If the series of instructions is randomly generated then this is impossible to solve without a world model.
You're confusing GT and Gbaud. Gbaud/s = Symbol rate × bits per symbol.

GT/s is in fact G"bit"/s, before line coding (I left that can of worms unopened because line coding wasn't relevant to the bandwidth vs. latency discussion.) PCIe 6.0 is "64GT/s", but only 32 Gbaud, since as you correctly point out it uses PAM-4.

> GT/s does stand for Giga Transfers per second.

If you have a citable source for this, that'd be nice — it's not in the PCIe spec, and AFAIK the term is not used elsewhere.
Crown Employee Shares Concerns
"(6-17-24) The following was sent to the Outlook today from a Crown Employee about the current IT problem.

Hello, I am an employee at Crown Equipment in Celina Ohio. As you may have heard Crown has had an IT breach. They are not handling the situation well. They have told us that we must use our vacation time or file for unemployment because they will not be paying us, and that they will not be providing us with a mass layoff #. Nobody knows what is going on or when we will return to work. Crown employees thousands of people In the Celina and newbremen area. Many of my coworkers and myself are uneasy about what we should do next. They are keeping us in the dark and nobody knows what to do.

At the request of the person who sent us the email we are not disclosing their name.

The crown.com web site is still down.

Some things are incremental and tedious. Hawkins is taking a rigorous, incremental, and tedious approach to realizing his dream of brain like AI. That means synthesizing thousands of neurology papers and isolating each component of neurons and searching for evidence of algorithms and so on.

This reminds me of a story of my friend who had two cats who were brother and sister.

One time when my friend went on a trip and left his roommate in charge of catsitting, the male cat was tragically killed by a car. The roommate found the body and, not wanting to leave it on the street, put it in a duffel bag and brought it home.

Of course the sister cat smelled the bag and knew exactly what was in there. She came to her own conclusions and carried a grudge against the roommate for years (hissing, glaring, etc) until they finally moved out. It was especially peculiar because she is one of the most friendly, cuddly cats with everyone else.
I generally have the feeling that a lot of people don't "really" understand what the world "capitalism" means/entails.

Like they often quote why capitalism is supposedly good and that because of this various marked oversight mechanism are bad. But fail to realize that all the good parts really only work if you have a capitalistic system in the original meaning of the word.

I.e. you have a properly competing open marked where consumers have in practice a real choice to vote with their money.

But in the real world there can be various things which can fundamentally undermine capitalism with the most obvious one being monopolies. When too many of such things come together in a too dominant way the practically eliminate the benefits capitalism has for a country at which point is as much still capitalism as a strawberry cake from which someone removed all strawberries is still a strawberry cake.

But too many people (IMHO often without realizing) push for making it illegal to keep strawberries in the strawberry cake because how would the bakery make money of the strawberry cake has to contain strawberries.

Anyway at the core all of following is in conflict with capitalism: patents, copyright, DRM (the apple case is kinda form of forcefully removing DRM like restrictions), IP law, goe fencing etc.

And especially for patents we have a lot of IRL examples how having them less can vitalize a marked.

But at the same time there are also a lot of reasons to have all of that in some form (not necessary the current form) because in the end the real world are a bit more complicated then the ideal of capitalism.
> Not sure how the iPhone originally did it

It was crystal clear that the iPhone was going to be a huge thing. An AR/VR headset is much less clear. I think it's only slightly clearer than mud at this point. Apple does have a history of trying to force things on the industry that went over like lead balloons. The VisionPro could be the next trashcan MacPro, or it could be the next hotness after building from a slow burn. Apple never released an updated trashcan, but they are looking at the next headset. So that's a signal in and of itself

/home is specified as a path to create if it doesn't already exist.[1] Despite the name "tmpfiles", there is nothing necessarily temporary about /home being created.[2] Think of a system such as a mobile phone that has an read-only system partition always present, and on first boot of the system, /home is automatically created. /home is effectively considered to be "temporary" until the next "factory reset". The --purge command is deliberately meant to revert this temporarily created state by destroying /home and effectively returning the system back to just a read-only system partition.[3]

Games are entertainment, and as with a novel or film, the authors pick and choose to get the level of verisimilitude they think the player/reader/viewer might want. Who wants to take an in-game break to go to the bathroom? When you pick something up (extra ammo) it's instantaneous -- and how come there are so many prefilled magazines lying around anyway? And when you get shot your shoulder doesn't hurt and you don't spend any time in the hospital.
Ah, thanks btw!
This was extremely cringe worthy to read. You are confidently wrong about this. You are trying to redefine well established terminology. I don't care about whatever random wiki page you might find to "support your claims". Anybody who has worked a lot on algorithms (including myself) knows what brute force means and this is not it.

Also: lol at your "who hasn't" comment. Because you clearly haven't.

When I was a kid, my parent would know that I was staying out late... from the fact that I was not home yet. Sometimes he wasn't home yet, either, so no problem at all. If it was really late, as in it turned into a sleepover, the friend's parent would call my parent to let them know to expect me back in the morning. We somehow survived without 24/7 surveillance and GPS tracking.
There’s always a nonzero quantity of coworkers who seem to identify too much with our captors (that machines). It’s shocking to them if someone suggests that human errors should be accommodated by a system instead of ruthlessly vilified.

Ask HN: If you drive a car, what car is it and why?
I recently want to upgrade my car for improved comfort and safety features. I'm located in an area where $/kWh is not cheap. Everyone around me raves about the Tesla but I can't seem to see it beating a hybrid in $/mile. And it lacks features like parking sensors (the vision based parking assist failed 50% of the time during my test drive). The test drive went poorly overall. I'm not a "$TSLA short" hater, as I happily hold the stock, but I was excited to be done with my vehicle search and disappointed in its performance.

I want to know how people choose what car to drive, and what metrics people optimize for.

For Apple to have messed up the pricing right out of the gate suggests they don't have a good idea of what this product is for. The iPad was a hit at $499, it would have failed at $999, where it would compete with Macbooks. AVP is far beyond both, it's an iOS device that costs more than a top-line Macbook.

Apple has only strengthened this perception by launching the AVP with almost no flagship apps that take advantage of VR, going radio silent about AVP almost as soon as they announced it over a year ago, and jumping on the AI bandwagon with the latest iOS.

The UN has done nothing but downward revisions in the last 10+ years. They consistently overestimate birth rates and underestimate how quickly they are falling especially in the developing countries. This itself is a trend that says the UN is overly optimistic here in terms of population growth and max/max year. The 2019 to 2022 revision went from population max of 10.88B in 2100 to 10.4B in 2086. I didn't find the 2024 data yet but would expect another "our numbers were too high" again.

Malware uses signals to determine if they are running in a VM. If we can degrade those signals, they will have to play a cat and mouse game trying to avoid VMs.
