It's possible, but given my experience seems unlikely - I spend the majority of my time using Dvorak, and very little time using QWERTY, so there's not much switching going on. Also, most typing effort models (e.g. carpalx[1]) put Dvorak as significantly lower effort than QWERTY.

I think it'd be more likely to be the switching effect if you were going between two similar-effort layouts (e.g. Dvorak and Colemak).

I like that the author went very in depth reverse engineering the proprietary update program, but it boiled down to what amounts to a single or few ata commands that can be manually invoked on linux. it's a shame they don't just publish these commands for linux users, and let the windows users have the fancy bespoke tools.

> If you are unemployed and looking unsuccessfully for work, you have no income reward and no work accomplishment reward. If you receive unemployment benefits or UBI of some sort in that situation, it's more of a reminder that "you suck, you can't even find a job, everyone else has to support you" than anything rewarding.

So you're saying that you think the chronic long-term effects found in the study are not from having little money, but from the lack of rewards?

I mean, there's no data on that, so you could be right. We'd have to find a bunch of people who have little money but find their own rewards and see if they suffer the same consequences.

Possibly the "starving artist" folks - people whose motivation is their art but who earn no (or very little) money doing it. Anecdotally, the ones I've met veer wildly (almost daily) between euphoria and despair. But I think that's different from the symptoms the study is talking about.
My point is the having already mentioned the English Civil War (which I concede was quite bloody) the comment I replied to goes on to mention the Glorious Revolution, which (even if we adopt your definition) is double counting.

I went through the entire process of learning Colemak-DH last year, and made sure to maintain my ability to type QWERTY. I would bring my reprogrammed HHKB to work every day, and switching between layouts at home to keep the skill. Eventually I realized that all the new layout did was add an extra layer of cognitive friction when it came to keyboard shortcuts. Now a year later I am back to just using QWERTY.

Glad I tried it, now I know I could do it all over with only a little bit of discomfort, but I never saw any of the oft lauded benefits of switching keyboard layouts. Maybe at 60-70WPM I am just not fast enough to notice improved efficiency, or my youthful joints have yet to decay enough to have pain from typing. Who knows.
Yeah, not an expert on True Tone but I'd leave it enabled. I agree it should help if it does what I guess it should.

That being said I haven't read about it in a long time nor tested without it.

Dumb question: does "90% accuracy" mean - "of the cancers it detected, it was 90% correct"?

Or does it mean, "of all the patients who developed cancer, it detected 90% of them"?

Where the later is referring to the entire population, and the former is only about those detected.

Show HN: LinkToMarkdown – Extract web content to clean Markdown in one click
Hi!

I recently created a little tool called LinkToMarkdown (<https://linktomarkdown.com/>](https://linktomarkdown.com/)). It extracts web content and generates clean Markdown text with just one click.

To be honest, I developed this tool purely out of personal need. I often want to save articles from the web, but I'm always frustrated by ads, pop-ups, and all sorts of clutter. One day, I'd had enough and thought, "Why isn't there a tool that can give me just the plain text?"

So I decided to roll up my sleeves and build it myself. That's how LinkToMarkdown was born. It can:

1. Automatically filter out junk content and ads
2. Preserve the original structure and formatting
3. Output clean Markdown text

I've found it particularly useful for:

- Saving tech blog posts for note-taking
- Organizing news articles for research
- Saving articles for later reading
- Extracting product documentation

It's super simple to use - just paste the link, click a button, and you're done!

I know there are quite a few similar tools out there, but I think LinkToMarkdown has some advantages in terms of ease of use and output quality. Of course, that's just my personal opinion.

I'd love to hear what you all think. Any suggestions? Areas for improvement? Feel free to try it out and let me know!

Happy using, everyone! :)
if you internet searched "how do you dispose of a body" and then a body is discoved having been disposed of, and you are suspected in the killing, that evidence is introduced at your trial, and a jury will be influenced by it, even though all you did was visit and read the site. That evidence will be even more damning if the page you visited described a particular method that was seen in the case in question. This would be very strong evidence in favor of your guilt. Same for all the other ones I mentioned.
Even in cases like that, I find that it’s often wrong about whatever package I’m using, unless that package has had a stable long lived api.

I can maybe pull snippets out of AI generated code, but more often than not I just ask it for quick examples. Like I would do for stack overflow.
It's equally plausible that employers treat people with particular trait cluster poorly, and that eventually they give up on getting abused.
*killed, not kill. This happened in 2014 and came to light as a part of a current multibillion dollar DoJ lawsuit against United Healthcare.
We’ve done this for an SME customer of ours. We were essentially building a new module on top of their existing in-house systems. We laid out our query patterns in advance so they could index properly, and only query specific views. Write-out is only in tables dedicated for our product.

It works surprisingly well, and is pretty resilient since it essentially acts as a message queue too. Then again, this is all low traffic stuff in a SME / B2B setting, with zero multitenancy involved.

I’ll still take a proper API or message queue any day though.

Edit: I suppose our biggest benefit is that our customer can actually change the interface with us fairly quickly. Then have database experts in-house, but devs who could do APIs. So the collaboration has been mostly smooth an account of that, and that is a huge advantage compared to them having to outsource any API work. Technically speaking I’m not a fan, but the non-technical results have been useful.
I wonder if the people afraid of industry pressure were hoping to get a job in the industry at a later point?

Not sure why they would care, otherwise.
Which is why it seems so weird to focus on lockdowns as the culprit, when there were so many other things that were a much larger impact. Beyond remote schooling, people also drastically reduced play time at parks, or playgrounds, or playdates. We attended a few drive by birthday parties as well. Many also lost childcare or employment. It’s a lot to try to account for. It makes the use of lockdowns as an excuse feel pretty forced.
Wild. Scam on top of a scam. Crazy that the Obama administration refused to stand up to the industry on this.
You're correct about the magnetic fields[0]. But you can write a program to control things that do make magnetic fields.

But I don't think this is a relevant analogy. It seems that you're arguing a specific form of the embodiment hypothesis; that consciousness requires a body. Surely this is a sufficient condition (and is why I think roboticists have a good chance at cracking AGI), but is it a necessary condition? I'm not sure anyone has any convincing evidence that cognition requires "a body" (is a standard computer "a body"? What about a laptop that has a camera? What body parts are necessary?) and if it does, it is unclear what constitutes the minimal necessary requirements. It is quite possible that this is all "software" (e.g. a person in a vegetative state may be completely oblivious to their surroundings but still may have conscious experiences. Most people do this every night!).

I think you are erroring too far in the other direction. While I highly disagree with the person you're responding to, I do no think you are making strong arguments yourself. With so little known about what actually constitutes consciousness, I think it is difficult to make bold claims about what it is (though we've ruled out things that it isn't; e.g. a rock. Which is our typical method of doing reasoning in science; we generally disprove things, not prove. Like you said, the map is not the territory, and in this say way our models (yes, plural) of physics is not physics itself).

I think the is evidence to believe that consciousness may be a "software" but that is not proof. Similarly I think we have lots of reasons to believe that embodiment is highly beneficial to creating consciousness, as not just by nature of examples, but our understanding of consciousness is in part about responding to environments and stimuli. But that's clearly not sufficient either and pinning down where this is, is quite complex (even our definition of life is ill-defined). I'm highly convinced that embodiment is the best path to pursue to achieve AGI, but I'm not convinced it is required either.

[0] If we get pedantic, we should note that any simulation has to run on hardware and that creates magnetic fields but these are not in fact necessarily the fields being simulated. I don't think we need to pursue this avenue for this conversation.

You either have not written very much code, don’t know what boilerplate means, or are intentionally operating under an overly broad definition
Brilliant bit of design. Even before the symbols were explained, you could immediately tell what they meant just looking at the b-roll at the beginning of the video -- that, to me, is a testament to just how well these crossing aids were thought out.

As an aside, I love that they call them "refuge islands" (a place to take refuge from the danger and chaos of motorized traffic), in contrast to what I hear in the US: "medians".
My daughter used to speak a mix of es-as, es-es and es-mx (and perhaps a some more) from YouTube. Now she is going back to normal and speaking mostly in es-ar.

Since you seem to be clued in on this - what is United's defense here other than to muddy the waters? It seems from the article that they must sign an affidavit, or otherwise formally state, that the codes are valid to their best knowledge. But they do all these reviews that show some of the codes aren't valid, but they still bill for them. Seems pretty cut and dried.
Why? What are the worst consequences of wrong metrics? The problem there is that its a paradox. Seriously, consider what you are saying. You are saying measurements should not be conducted, because if somebody believes they are bad measures some mysterious unknown consequence will come to pass. The fallacy there is that the same consequences will come to pass irrespective of any measures conducted, because measurements alone do not dictate courses of action. However, if you don't conduct measurements you won't have any idea either way, which makes the very concern of bad measures entirely moot.

Bad measurements are only bad when they disqualify better measurements and better measurements only occur when some measure more directly proves/disproves the desired result.
so in the case of incidents, what do you do when no tool available in the container or debugging?
I looked into the Dvorak stuff about 20 years ago and apparently there weren't any real good studies showing Dvorak was that much better.

The studies showing Dvorak superiority apparently were never compared with qwerty users going through similar training, and when they did, the advantage disappeared.

Apparently, we do better if we train.
Author here, it started out with:

```
Can you help me make a website called is my blue your blue? I want to make a website that is in vue.js that allows one to determine the boundary between their perception of blue vs. green. It should use a golden ratio search to find the midpoint between blue and green. It should have the color be the color of the background, and it should have two buttons, blue and green. If they pick green, you should show something bluer, and vice versa.
```

It offered a starter with vue and tailwind, then I asked to add a supabase backend. I took maybe 5 hours to get the original version, which I tweaked until I got about 800 initial responses so I could show a population curve. Later I modded it with cursor to add an about section, fit a proper GLM rather than a simple golden ratio estimation method, and the d3 animation at the end.
If someone is not working because they received a windfall it's probably better to think of them as "retired" rather than "unemployed."
The website (post redesign) is absolutely awful too, I have no idea how they ever thought it was good to roll out. Feels like a hacked together college project.
Can't wait for you to get started with the oldest languages on the planet, as spoken by the oldest people on Earth, the Khoisan languages. Hope that is in the pipeline, as the Khoi and San is almost eradicated in all of Africa and many of their languages are now extinct.

Khoekhoe is a nice start.

I think people will lose their minds if they see how it is written.

Fun fact - The Khoisan gave all the Bantu languages that have it, the click sound.

There are a lot of different clicks in the Khoisan languages. So many that they need exclamation marks and every other symbol on the keyboard to accommodate them.
Thanks! Looking into this now.
This.

I love these projects but often they can have a negative side-effects.
Uh...how did this work ? Did they guess the key?

> The plant’s introduction to the New World came with European settlers, who brought hops to North America in the 17th century.

This is not true. Hops were widespread in North America before European contact. There are broadly speaking 4 major land races of hops: European, Asian, and 2 from North America.

The history of hops breeding is pretty fascinating (at least to a nerd like me). Almost all of the trendy modern varieties that you would recognise from IPAs and NEIPAs (such as the "C" strains: your Cascades, Citras, etc) are the result of cross breeding a North American variety (probably Cluster) with a European variety (probably Fuggle), and can be traced back to a breeder who imported an "unknown strain from Manitoba" back to England, and bred and categorised hundreds of hybrids. I believe the goal was to breed a strain that was disease resistant but with less of the (now desirable) intense flavours characteristic of the North American strains.

I grow hops in Canada (Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, and Perle varieties). They are a really cool plant: I've never seen anything grow as quickly as they do (Benjamin Franklin once wrote about how impressive it was to watch hops grow), and their smell is really wonderful at harvest time. I dry, vacuum seal, and freeze them, and produce more whole leaf hops than I need for a year of brewing (which would otherwise cost several hundred dollars).

Perhaps it's more that Fulani speakers truly appreciated having an alphabetic script that is able to adequately represent the distinct sounds of their language without ambiguities, which had not been the case with the Latin or Arabic scripts. Cultural pride also would have played a factor, there's a reason South Korea has a special holiday to commemorate the creation of Hangul script: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul_Day

I really like the table of confusion as a way to look at this stuff. I find the terminology somewhat confusing and it's much easier for me to just look up the formulas.

That means 90% accuracy should mean (true_positive + true_negative)/(whole_population) == 90%.

Yes! I've actually done this (several companies offer this service now). I think this is great if you have a family pre-disposition to something, or want to regularly check for a specific issue. It's also great because many doctors are hesitant to provide blood tests without a diagnosis.

I don't think it has the same use cases as at-home monitoring devices though. To use the example of cholesterol, you can be morbidly, dangerously high in your LDL levels, where doctors will put you on medication that day and warn you to basically stop eating. But you can also just have levels that are high - but where lifestyle change alone is effective. Ideally, you'd want to be able to reflect daily/weekly and adapt. The tighter that feedback loop, the better.

Quest charges $70 for a cholesterol panel, which for many, is too high for a regular purchase to build a positive feedback loop. Its probably in the "purchase quarterly" and maybe "monthly" range, but I doubt many would be able or willing to go weekly.
¿ Should it be "Massachusetts Bodged Transit Authority" and not "Massachusetts Bodged Transistor Authority"?

I can't help but think that I am missing a really cool inside joke of some kind here.

I get that it is an electronics project using a piece of transit authority electronic equipment so "transistor" make a ton of sense from that perspective but also get it that it is easy to go "transistor" when you mean "transit" especially if you work a lot with electronics.

Can anyone help me out with a hint ( and not an answer ) if I am indeed missing something key all together.

Either way, both article title and article content are dope.
Can’t stress this enough. Thank you for mentioning it!! In my career I’ve encountered many engineers unfamiliar with this concept when designing a distributed system.

Like $10 on Amazon you can get a Bluetooth receiver you can pair your phone to that will then output all the audio out a 3.5mm jack.

It’s not even out yet and they’re already going back on their word, as it’s now described as opt-out instead of opt in. Without being able to uninstall it, it will be yet another user hostile feature that keeps getting “accidentally” re-enabled every time a patch gets installed.

I had heard that Sonos claimed updates made to both their servers and customers' hardware following the app update can't reasonably be rolled back and wouldn't work with the previous S2 app. Basically, they dragged their feet denying the new app issues long enough to make rolling back infeasible.
