Unfortunately I did all 5 of these and still felt severe brain fog and poor short term memory. I can think insanely quickly on things that don't matter or have logical cues. I can't think on things with a string of procedural cues. So even simpler things are harder than complex things if they take more than a few steps.

GYM body is so good and only takes a year in the gym, I love it and it does help get rid of aches and pains.

When you do all 5 well and still feel hindered in some spaces, it really sucks. I assume I'm just extremely lazy but with a huge willpower that turns on and off. I always experienced on/off stages with work, either creativity and leisure flows, or work and engineering flows.

Prettymuch. Compilers can do a lot more than people give them credit for. At least AMD document their hardware so it is actually possible to know low-level details. PTX can obfuscate that surprisingly badly for nvidia targets.

Nope. Even at its most mundane you are “encouraged” to use the insurers mail order pharmacy or affiliate… for the few routine drugs I take I cannot get a 90 day refill authorized at a retail pharmacy, only 30 day supplies.

Games where I'm sitting down like a car, I wouldnt get motion sickness, but the ones where you walk around with the keypad like Medal Of Honor and Half Life Alyx are the ones that I cant do anymore. I was having a blast with medal of honor, playing 30-45 minute bursts until the nausea once set in very bad and stayed since then.

I dont get any motion sickness from room scale games (real world motion match virtual world) like ping pong or watching movies.

Yea, maybe... tbh I would expect kinda the opposite given that I assume a lot of the employees are relatively young and intelligent.
Don’t the tasks in queues have the same issues with the tasks from story points do? What if the tasks are not defined well enough? So some tasks in the queue might take a day to complete, another could take months?
You can get a standalone pizza over for a couple hundred. I've got an Ooni and it gets up to 900 in about 15 minutes. Its obviously not for indoor use but its great nonetheless. It still takes a good bit of technique to get the dough and timing right but its great to be able to cook a pizza in little more than a minute.
Opting out via ssid is pull the table cloth off at a wedding level absurd. Effectively this design is we saying we respect you so little that you might be able deactivate this feature if tattoo your choice on your face but we might might ignore that too because fuck you for disagreeing.

It is impossible for anything related to using computers to be intuitive. Every aspect of it is either directly learned behavior, or extrapolated by reference to other learned behavior.

Most of the issues described in the article are not the result of unintuitive designs per se, but the result of inconsistent designs within the same context. Inconsistency makes it difficult to extrapolate patterns out of particular experiences that can be applied elsewhere. But resolving this is just a matter of reconciling interfaces to consistent design patterns.

The idea that the concept of a disk image is somehow inherently unintuitive is not really valid; and, in fact, the process of using a disk image and using a zip file to install applications are really two variations of the same thing.

"Disk image" is just a particular type of file archive in the Mac world. It's misnamed, but that's not a problem for novice users who don't otherwise know what a disk image is; it's a problem for experienced users who know what "disk image" means everywhere else.

> it might happen years from now, but it will happen – open platforms always emerge and eventually proliferate

30 years ago people were making the same argument that MS should have kept DirectX open or else they were going to lose to OpenGL. Look how that's worked out for them.

> Google, who does in fact make money directly from Android sales

They don't though. They have some amount of revenue from it, but it's a loss-making operation.

> In fact there is even a potentially direct analogy between the two platforms: LLM is the top of the stack with GPU on the bottom, just like Advertising is the top of the stack with Mobile on the bottom.

But which layer is the differentiator, and which layer is just commodity? Google gives away Android because it isn't better than iOS and isn't trying to be; "good enough" is fine for their business (if anything, being open is a way to stay relevant where they would otherwise fall behind). They don't give away the ad-tech, nor would they open up e.g. Maps data where they have a competitive advantage.

NVidia has no reason to open up CUDA; they have nothing to gain and a lot to lose by doing so. They make a lot of their money from hardware sales which they would open up to cannibalisation, and CUDA is already the industry standard that everyone builds on and stays compatible with. If there was ever a real competitive threat then that might change, but AMD has a long way to go to get there.

Your understanding is accurate. Donations to Mozilla cannot legally be used for Firefox development because your donations are tax-deductible due to Mozilla being a charity and Firefox development is done by a for-profit corporation.
I kind of like how this has dominated the 'active' section ever since it started and it's, barely a news story everywhere else.

Honestly I don't have much to add to the conversation. Mozilla made a bad move, Firefox's big thing was privacy and not being Chromium and it's lost the first thing.
I think Houston is still having significant issues. I had cousins who were affected for days. But that was because of problems with local distribution due to the hurricane, not the overall Texas grid. ERCOT does publish system dashboards if you ever want to take a look at it - I do watch sometimes during very hot or cold days because reserves can get low, but I have not experienced systemic issues since the big freeze in 2021.
I think a model with zero parameters belongs more to math, because it can be derived from first principles. E.g. The surface area of a sphere is 4/3 * pi * r^3, assuming Euclidean space. Physics begins when we have at least one constant of nature to measure, like the actual curvature of space or the attraction due to gravity.
Is this really true? I would intuitively expect that register renaming would apply to eflags too, so that reads from flags don't truly need to be serialized despite nominally writing a bunch of things to the same register.

EDIT: this paper (linked in another comment) seems to indicate that this is possible:

> An out-of-order machine can look ahead and
process the accumulation pass in parallel with the partial sum pass using a renamed eFlags register.

Just estimate time. In the end, whenever I worked with story points in various companies, even though developers, Project Managers or Scrum Masters would often state that Story Points are a measure of complexity, in the end, the Velocity for a given sprint was measured in Story Points as well. So, in the end a Story Point is equal to an amount of time in a sprint.

This is also stated in the article:

> Story points do not represent Time, yet the Velocity metric they are usually combined with defacto converts them to time, sabotaging everyone from the start by doing the thing that you can't do with a precise number and a range...adding them together.

Better yet, just don't bother with SCRUM and all it's pointless and time-consuming ceremonies and just get shit done. This is my preferred mode of working and I've been lucky to be able to work like this for the last couple of years.
I think you missed my point that what you're describing as the "old" idea were actually the "new" idea with a corresponding "old" idea. For instance, you mention OCaml's typing, but OCaml is from 1996 and Milner's type-inference work (which was for an early version of ML) is from 1982. And ML itself is from 1973 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language) ...

[My personal experience from doing related-work searches for research papers is that there was often an at least somewhat relevant reference from the 60s...]
Some deductions:

>>potato

grows in the earth

>erdapfel

I know a few French words, so I know that potato in French is pomme de terre (fruit of the earth)

I am learning German.

I know that apfel means apple in German.

I know that Erdbeere means strawberry in German.

beere sounds like berry.

straw sometimes lies on the earth (after it is cut).

I just Googled for the word earth in German and it shows erde.

so it seems like erdapfel means "earth apple", which sounds like the French "fruit of the earth".

how's that for a bit(te) of logical deduction?

I feel a bit(te) like a human Prolog interpret-a.

now I'll go and finish my Bier(e), which inspired me-a.

You can store a text-editing CRDT's state in a standalone file instead of in a database. However, it is hard to make the file human-legible or updateable. The best you could do is probably something like a piece table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece_table), or the plain text followed by some opaque CRDT metadata.

If you want to preserve the ability to edit plain text files using an arbitrary program, your sync engine could be a file watcher that computes a diff each time the file is saved - like git does, but character-based instead of line-based.

Modern Kernel Userspace Design
I started work on an hobby kernel with a friend. I would provide a link to the repo if it was public. He has some experience making a kernel and as such he wants to design userspace before working on anything else.

I have looked into Plan 9 and I think that it is in the right direction. I definitely think that Namespaces are an idea to explore. I was hoping that the people of HN would be able to provide their opinions and knowledge of the subject to better help us design our kernel.

As I understand it, you can only write off a business's expenses against that business's income, not income from other sources. For example, if you have a W2 income source and you have this business generating losses, you can't take your business losses or write offs and apply them to your W2 income, so you wouldn't really be saving any money as there would be no revenue to write off expenses against. You would need to get the business to generate revenue for this to be a viable idea.

The only case that I am aware of where you can take business losses / write offs and apply them to other income sources is in real estate, and only under very specific circumstances. This is one reason why high income individuals love things like short term rentals which is one circumstance in which this is possible.

I think you've misread this conversation. I was responding to someone who suggested that Karpathy's "background in physics" indicated some insight into whether this venture, particularly as regards physics education, will effectively give guidance by subject matter experts like Feynman.

If they had cited some other background, like his courses on AI, I would have responded differently.
Coincidentally I was just writing a bignum library from scratch two weeks ago.

A few interesting things I learned:

1. Knuth volume 2 has an extensive discussion of the problem space. I've only gotten a chance to skim it so far, but it looks interesting and approachable.

2. I need to support bitwise operations, which operate on a two's complement representation, so I figured it would be simpler to use two's complement internally, despite seeing that most (all?) bignum libraries use signed magnitude. I'm starting to regret this: two's complement introduces a lot of complexity.

The most fun thing about working on a bignum library is that it makes the algorithms you learned in grade school for add/subtract/multiply/divide relevant again. The basic ("classical") algorithms on bignum are basically exactly the same thing you learned in grade school, except on a much larger base than base-10.
They are just generally gross, a lot of them aren’t cleaned(which can also smell), apparently they explode when heated, it’s hard to gauge the purity and weight of the gold until you remove the tooth. Lots of issues.

Not sure if anyone else would have an interest in this, but personally I find dealing with SQL in Go worse than just dealing with HTTP APIs. This is the first step in an ecosystem I'm putting together to rapidly prototype products to run in Kubernetes clusters.

Show HN: Iap.dev – Because In-App Purchases Shouldn't Be a Pain in the App
Hey HN
We're launching iap.dev to take the headache out of in-app purchases on Android.
As devs, we've all been there:

Spending hours just to get a basic IAP prototype working

Cursing edge cases and integrations during development

Debugging on real devices with time-consuming release builds

Struggling to properly test IAPs and distribute builds to QA

Stressing about security and pen-testing scenarios

iap.dev says "no more!" to all that nonsense. Our SDK lets you:

Get IAP dialogs in your app with minimal setup

Develop and debug on any emulator, instantly changing purchase states

Distribute debug builds to testers worldwide who can test any scenario

Easily test security issues like fake purchases or receipt hacks

Integrating iap.dev is as easy as :

Drop in our replacement store SDK
Initialize with a client key
Start raking in that (okay, we can't promise that last part)

Sign up at iap.dev if you want to revolutionize your Android IAP experience. And if you've got any hilarious IAP horror stories, we're all !

> Education seems like it can either be very specialized, or very generalized, but at the end of the day it should be egalitarian.

This is the approach I'm taking.

There are a few psychological and technological tricks here or there, but in my opinion the hardest part is getting the incentives right.

It's very easy to build an educational system that incentivizes for the wrong things. And even if we all agree what the "right" things are, something like universal education is a collective action problem with all the difficulties that come with that.
Read Receipts are invasive, because they signal when I read it - which might well not be when I want to reply. I could read an email today and then decide I'll reply tomorrow or next Wednesday, because reasons; but the sender will see the read receipt and just assume I hate their guts for not replying immediately to the Most Important Person In The World (i.e. them).

So I turn them off as a matter of routine on all my accounts.
The distinction between a pet and a cattle is that the cattle the owner has a dependency to but a pet may one can dispose at will. To the treatment of pets I would say that the treatment has less relevance than the complete stripping of autonomy for after your existence has become an instrument of one's will, your the meaning of your existence ceases the moment one finds a better tool. ALSO I would argue that this – especially, in the historical sense – may well be the essence & causality of this WHOLE thing.
Note that most US homes actually have 240 V split phase service. Power is typically distributed to a neighborhood at 13.3 kV (but there is a lot of variation), and stepped down by a 240 V center tapped transformer outside your house.

The center tap of that transformer is connected to ground and neutral. Normal residential outlets are connected between that neutral and one of the two hot outputs, giving 120 V.

Connecting across the two hots instead of across one hot and neutral gives 240 V. Many houses have one or two 240 V outlets. Typically there is one where the builders expected you to put your washer and dryer, to support an electric dryer. Often there is also one in the garage.

It's easy for an electrician to add more 240 V circuits4 and, assuming you don't need a new electrical panel, fairly reasonably priced. Googling is claiming typically $250-800.
> When using structured editing, why does it matter what the syntax is? The editor is going to handle it for you anyway.

It matters, because the start and end markers of code allow for easy recognition of where something starts and ends and make the move independent from things like indentation. In Python, if you wanted to do the same, you would have to change indentation in many cases. Also the language is less expression based, which makes it even harder to, for example slurp a block/unit of code, because it is not clear how far the slurping should go.

> I don’t know, go make it. But what would you imagine it to do? Moving blocks of indented code around is already easy without needing language-specific treatment.

Well, I am not the one claiming here, that it does not matter, whether there are start and end markers for blocks of code, so the onus is not on me to make this thing, it is up to you to prove it can be done. Lets not try to reverse the obligation of proof here.
