I mean, I was taught in grade school that George Washington cut down a cherry tree and then said he couldn't tell a lie. That didn't make it true.

I would hope that here on HN, people are aware of RGB primaries, and then maybe CMYK. Saying that cyan is "not primary or secondary" is just wrong. Even Wikipedia explains in the first paragraph that the RYB model has a "lack of scientific basis":

> When a new situation appears (like whether machines should be allowed to learn on copyrighted works), the legality of the situation should be decided explicitly by the legislative branch

Okay, so what happens in the interim situation? If the legislature hasn't spoken yet, is it assumed to be legal or assumed to be illegal? Or is this assumption tested on a case-to-case basis, with both sides making arguments as to why it should be treated to be legal/illegal in this specific scenario?
I use Vellum. It converts to PDF and EPUB, which is all you need for self-publishing books (I don't know about other destinations). I'd never heard of ASCIIDOC.

Finally, one thing that I really, really wanted, and YMMV. There's no reason why you should care about it, but I did: drop caps (the first letter of a section is 3 or 4 lines tall). I just think it's cool. You could do it with a lot of machinations in Scrivener, but it's trivial with Vellum.

Vellum knows all the things about publishing conventions. What I prefer about it is, you pay money for it. That gives them a stable business model.
A few notes about the reference page:

* The ordered list isn't the best way to write numbered lists. Numbered lists can be: 1. 1. 1., etc. The computer will auto-increment.

* Typographic quotes are an extension. I wrote KeenQuotes[0] to solve the quote curling problem and integrated it into KeenWrite[1].

* Document header. I fundamentally disagree with putting formatting instructions into plain text documents, in either AsciiDoc or Markdown. I wrote KeenWrite to completely separate the two. Documents are typeset using ConTeXt[2] and a theme[3].

* Admonitions. Pandoc (and KeenWrite) supports annotations in Markdown. I used them on page 5 of my Impacts Project[4] to insert the spectra. I'd say that annotations are more flexible than admonitions because admonitions are often canned (TIP, WARNING, etc.); whereas, annotations are user-defined.

* Sidebars and block titles imply presentation. These are also handled by annotations.

* Includes. You can use R Markdown to get includes. Or write an extension. Fair point that it isn't bundled, though.

* Custom CSS. Again, avoid mixing presentation and content. Specific presentation logic can be applied by annotating the content, rather than trying to format plain text as though it was HTML.

* Definition lists. Supported by Markdown, I use them for a glossary in a novel I'm writing.

* Tables. While perhaps not CommonMark, basic tables are widely supported by almost all Markdown implementations.

There's a fair amount of incorrect, biased, or outdated information on that page.

Here's an example page written in Markdown and made into a PDF:

https://ibb.co/mX11vZt

That's a blockquote (story within a story) with nested annotations (the four simultaneous calls).

The bigger picture is this: Why have plain text format wars? Here's an architecture I developed for my text editor:

https://gitlab.com/DaveJarvis/KeenWrite/-/raw/main/docs/imag...

With that architecture, the source document format doesn't matter. Take any input document, transform it into a structured document format (such as XML), and then typeset it. Pandoc has a similar architecture.

Yes I agree, the types of experts I had in mind when writing this are technical reviews by subject matter experts such as fractional CTO/CFO type things, or security consultants to do penetration testing, design style guides by a highly paid, very experienced designer or sales training. I think the type of consultant people are thinking of in this comment thread are more like business coaches who say things like "vision, misssion, values" and then charge $10k. I'm not saying there aren't good business coaches and that there aren't shitty technical experts, I'm just stating what I think people are arguing against here (which is to say they are imagining the worst kind of consultant and then assuming that's the only thing available).
Especially in Canada, where capital is tight and productivity is low, I think incentivizing co-ops is a great idea.

The Canadian gov't offers some grants for co-ops, but they are a pittance. Making debt cheaper for co-ops relative to corps (maybe via additional tax breaks on interest?) is, I think super important.
I'm not sure the author captures it perfectly, however...

There is a lake in the U.S. that crosses the borders of Idaho and Utah. On summer weekends, you'll see the Bear Lake Burger Boat trolling the waters. Swim or float up to it, and they'll give you a delicious hamburger.

I'm glad whoever runs it has found a fit in this world. I'm sure it's not what most of us on Hacker News would choose to do, but I am glad someone does.
"fully constrained" means that there are no degrees of freedom left so that there are only a finite number of valid solutions, which are then consequently disconnected in the space of possible solutions.

DCM then chooses one valid solution that it believes is "close" to initial supplied positions/directions/radii etc for the geometry.

What you are trying to describe is what we call phase transition. So just to make it clear the reason higgs field working like that is that after the big bang and cooling of universe to about 10^5 kelvins (don't try to convert this to this strange unit of Fahrenheit) the field transitioned from high energy state to lower energy state. This is what gave rise to the higgs mechanism (what the article talks about).

Now this mechanism is responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking, could it be others? Yes many think so. A lot of grand unification theories (GUTs) predict existence of some. The most famous one is Supersymmetry. There is a term called GUT phase transition that describes these fields.

Well another particular similar field would be what cosmology people call the inflaton. It is hypothesized that it has driven the expansion of the universe during the inflation event. But that cannot be repeated because it needs much higher energy state that it cannot be happening again.

But some theories of dark matter involve fields that could still be in a symmetric state (like higgs before phase transition) and that these fields would undergo a phase transition that we can see some observation like changes in dark matter distribution.

There is the concept of late dark matter symmetry and false vaccum decay (an idea that we are actually in a local minimum and that the true absolute point is not reached yet. If this is true it would be interested as if we reached this point then laws of physics will change (not our understanding but literally the laws will change). This could lead to a changes in particles properties, masses and forces. This could even change the structure of the space-time itself. This transition will be interesting because it could propagate as a bubble through the universe at speed of light. It seems more on a verge of science fiction but there is a theory behind that [1]

DOT is not a schema language, no.

It sounds like you're trying to make something new, in which case: I'd forego standardisation concerns for now, and focus on getting something that works, and where future prototyping can be backwards-compatible.
It's not about what the "author should get for their book". It's the OpenAI benefits unfairly from using everyone's work to make nearly endless money and lobby for regulatory capture.

The author should get access to the model, the weights, it should all be open source because it partly contains their work. Just like how OpenAI could outright buy a copy of the authors work.

Basically, I think this is where knowledge and money are coming into an unresolveable conflict, who owns the ideas ? who owns information?

OpenAI seem to be trying to have a monopoly on information, and while they seem to be failing (thankfully), it's really where the issue lies for me.

Hey! I'm Braeden. I'm a recent graduate from Tufts University's interdisciplinary Human Factors Engineering program with an additional minor in Studio Art. I specialize in hardware product development, innovation design thinking, usability product design, and design engineering. I love combining the creativity of art making with the technical praxis of engineering to create meaningful, user-centered products. I implement my backgrounds in engineering, machine design, and sculpture to inform the innovation design thinking process. I have previous experience with product management, physical product development, industrial design, wearables design, user research, user and usability testing, ergonomic design, UI/UX design, rapid prototyping, and robotics. I'm actively looking for positions, so I would love to hear from you!

I've made this website that connects users randomly via one to one chat. It is purely in rust, uses axum for handling requests and tera to render html+css.

It does not use any javascript, instead it uses an iframe to render the messages by polling so it does not interrupt the user text field input.

I have not open sourced it, should I?
I think you may be too committed to dogmatic stances to constructively discuss other possibilities. I think this is no better when it's from the collectivist side than when it's from the capitalist fundamentalists.

> Cooperative guarantee that profit is owned by the people who create it.

I don't think all the value created by workers is realized as profit immediately. Workers can create value which only shows up in contributions to revenue much later. If you and your coworkers figured out the design and manufacturing process for a new product and the product only goes to market after you retired, you helped create the profits even if they arrive after you left the firm.

If the coop structure as you narrowly define it doesn't allow workers to receive the profits of their labor in industries that have a long time to market or R&D cycle, then isn't that a recipe for those high value industries to be inaccessible to coops?

Try to imagine an alternate history where Nvidia was a coop. A lot of the value behind its current high revenue was done many years ago. Cuda was released in 2007. I don't know how much of the hardware has inherited from older designs. If only current workers benefit from the current high sales, has the organization really ensured that "profit is owned by the people who create it"? That seems implausible.
I can sympathize with the OP authors' frustration with Markdown and resulting preference for ASCIIDoc (try to format a poem, or a play script, in Markdown). Lots of people have addressed this, and NIH rules supreme -- see reStructured Text[2].

However several comments here mention the convenience of a workflow based on Markdown + GIT. Exactly that workflow is the heart of Leanpub[0]. That site facilitates writing into text files organized and stored on Github (or Dropbox), compiling at any point to a finished-looking e-text, which you can then sell via their storefront[1], or take the finished ebook or pdf to a different platform. Leanpub supports their own Markdown variant (sigh).

I know a guy that did it. Deviant is a lock picking guru, and this is a nerdy trick he does occasionally.
The article isn’t as interesting as the idea that it is possible to identify someone smarter than oneself.

Reminds me of PG’s blub paradox:

“As long as our hypothetical Blub programmer is looking down the power continuum, he knows he's looking down. Languages less powerful than Blub are obviously less powerful, because they're missing some feature he's used to. But when our hypothetical Blub programmer looks in the other direction, up the power continuum, he doesn't realize he's looking up. What he sees are merely weird languages. He probably considers them about equivalent in power to Blub, but with all this other hairy stuff thrown in as well. Blub is good enough for him, because he thinks in Blub.”

If being smarter is like being tall, then it is easy to identify someone that is smarter/taller than oneself. But if there is some threshold where smartness becomes a difference of kind rather degree, it may not be possible to identify people who are significantly smarter than themselves.

Like the blub programmer, we may mistake people who are smarter than us as… merely weird. They think differently, which we mistake for thinking wrongly.

Add into the mix that there are probably multiple types of “intelligence”, each suited to different domains, and the problem is compounded.

Speed of thought is different than correctness of thought. The first is easy to identify. The second is a problem that I don’t think we should assume is solved.

PHP with any of sqlite, MySQL, or Postgres. Those have almost no dev environment required other than vim/emacs and command-line tools (screen/tmux, ctags, rg/grep, sed, awk, etc.).

I use Go with different database back-ends, with vim and CLI tools. Nothing fancy required, Go comes with everything you need.
>Show the actual file path, and always an absolute one

There are numerous reasons why this is not desirable, for example knowing whether an application was called from one symbolic link or a relative path dictates what that application's working directory is.
Actually it is

E^2 = (MC)^2 + (PC^2)^2

The first term is describing the rest mass. You can redefine the mass term to make it E=mc^2 but now this mass does not correspond to the rest mass. And for sure you can have energy without having a rest mass. Actually for the early universe all you had was a form of radiation and energy.
Someone could be misled, indeed. There's a real risk of that.

If:

1 - Cooperatives excite you and

2 - You use social media

you might want to look at the social.coop Mastodon instance (or cosocial.ca if you're Canadian).

Not only has the community on both those sites been a breath of total fresh air for me, I am not worried about the server I'm on having decide between disappearing and selling ads, and I feel like I'm partaking in a social enterprise.

Just recently social.coop had an open vote on how to donate some of our surplus to the open software we use and organizations that promote cooperation. It's been so nice to see and be apart of.
Do you have a specific connection between landfills and NIMBYs, or are you just generally interested in NIMBYs in the abstract?

As a rule we try to avoid putting landfills anywhere near someone's backyard, so it's not your usual hot topic for the zoning committee.
> It’s not memory, it happened at the time, within around 30 seconds, between me hearing the voice and her imitating it.

People can mix up exact details and whether two things feel the same in that amount of time, especially if they recently took drugs.

> Good way to disqualify the opinion or experience of anyone.

Look, you specifically asked for a skeptical explanation. You're right that it's not a disproof, but it does mean your experience isn't particularly convincing as an anecdote.
That was much more fun than I expected and the game is really well-drawn and snappy. I was doing so well until the really fast black ants started showing up.
This is a dupe but the other one is flagged so I figured I'll say here what I said there.

This is "news" about a reddit thread from yesterday. Someone went on a spiel about alpha and beta and neurodivergent or whatever and he said "interesting observation." So now he supports polygamous social structure ruled by the strongest or some such nonsense.

There was an interesting observation in the spiel once you throw away all the bullshit about testosterone and what not: most people follow the tribe instead of thinking for themselves. This isn't some novel idea, is well studied and well supported by science, so much so that marketing firms pay good money to give people the impression that a lot of people think or like something because if others believe that they'll go along with it. That's the scientific fact that underlies Reddit valuation as a company, and it was interesting watching the target marks parrot what they heard earlier that day in response to the post that spurned the existence of this article also doing the same.
The headline here feels pretty excessive. “There’s no quick fix”? There’s also no immediate problem.

Countless PCs are sold every year incapable of playing top games. Gamers are spec-heads for this reason and they’ll know not to get an Arm machine.
TIL you need to update the firmware on Yubikeys.
That doesn't sound right to me? If I use an AI trained in a way that is illegal in my country, the fact it was trained elsewhere shouldn't mean anything. If it meant, that is just an easy way to skirt the law.

my quick and dirty version of this from march was http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/hiring.png. i only bothered to gather 7 years of data though

csv generation script at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/whoishiring.py (taking as input http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/whoishiring.txt, copied and pasted from firefox), png generation script at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/plothiring.py

it, uh, probably took me more than the 5 minutes it reportedly took chatgpt. more like two and a half hours, judging from time.ctime(os.stat('whoishiring.txt.~1~').st_mtime), although i think i ate dinner in the middle. clearly i should lean more on chatgpt

I read the piece.

Our society is certainly not infinite economically or as a matter of what is acceptable socially, and while different cultures have varying degrees of acceptability in terms of plausible occupations and behaviour, they are still obviously bounded.

The hypothesis is neither useful not true, which makes the article uninteresting at best.
