Thank you for the investigation. It was very well done.
I've just launched a new AI video generation platform that allows users to create videos by simply inputting text. The platform integrates the latest AI video generation technologies, and users can generate one video for free every day now,may be it will change later. We’re already seeing over 500 videos generated daily, and the feedback has been positive so far! I’d love to get more feedback from the community and improve the platform. Feel free to check it out and share your thoughts!
Triangles quite low level internal data.
mesh could output also 4 point polygons on occasion.
of course we can add an parameter to mesh to let pythonscad combine the faces as mush as possible(sub-faces are coplanar) and you would actually get 6 squares for a dice),
even polygon would accept faces with n points as input.

however, openscad does not have an internal B-REP kernel and you would have to rewrite the program to change that.

You are absolutely right that a large % of people, when confronted with evidence of the kind of obsessive focus required for unusual success, have mental antibodies activated which reject the message, to preserve their ego and sense of self-worth.

Don't dismiss the entire community because of the loud people and their upvoters though. There are other people here, and they don't necessarily browse HN at a high enough frequency to outvote or outcomment the majority.

(I personally think the document is very good, on-point, and great advice for ambitious young people. I'm no longer that young any more, and I'm also aware of a different side: when you push really hard, you can end up burning out. That's the other side of the intensity the document advocates. You can burn out. It's the single biggest reason I don't push so hard these days.)
He'll never reliably convince technical people.

But I think more than anything, the stuff he does would convince him. Write what you know, you know?

Having a number of people thoroughly convinced seems to be a key to getting others who might otherwise know better to fail to apply their judgement.

I had a much more utopian and somewhat deluded outlook growing up. It was based on the things adults told me, e.g. at school, in the boy scouts, and elsewhere, or absorbed from fiction with a utopian outlook like Star Trek TNG. I think there's an impulse to shelter kids and instill hope in them which can foster a blindness to the dog-eat-dog ugliness of the world.

Act with morals, work hard, self-improve, and everything will work out!

I'm not the least or most successful of my peers, but I am sympathetic to bitterness and pretty bitter myself that people aren't better, that banal evil and selfishness and deceit are so omnipresent.

> Close. The office in Kansas City wouldn't use it, if that office existed. Suppose you can get solar power in Kansas City, but can't transport it to Seattle, maybe due to lacking interconnect capacity, maybe lack of contracts among the power companies, it doesn't matter. What you do is buy 1GW of solar in Kansas, sell that same power as fossil power in Kansas and buy fossil power in Seattle.

If I’m understanding this correctly:

1. You buy 1MW of solar power in location X, and don’t use it.

2. You sell 1MW of emissions producing power in location X, that someone else uses

3. You buy 1MW of emissions producing power in location Y, and use that.

Net result: 2MW of emissions producing power used, 0MW of solar power used, and a claim of net-0MW of emissions produced?

Yes, it’s a “clever hack”, but accounting sleight of hands are just that. Most charitably magic, less charitably outright falsehoods.

> IMO it's a fair and good hack: When you open a new site and use that hack to buy power for the new site, the corresponding new power generation is solar. It's just solar with two additional accounting hops

I don’t understand how you got to this outcome from the first position. Can you help me understand what steps I missed for this to actually have good outcomes resulting in solar power actually being used?

I’d love to be wrong and for this to actually be actually good outcomes combined with clever accounting - those are absolutely the most satisfying solutions, both to design and read about (for me personally, anyway): where clever people are coming up with creative solutions to solve bureaucratic bullshit, while also achieving good outcomes.

EDIT: Child comment has helped me spot the error in my comprehension leading to incorrect math: “ What you do is buy 1GW of solar in Kansas, sell that same power as fossil power in Kansas” - I didn’t read ‘same power’ properly in my first read. I’ve left my comment as-is despite it now being completely wrong as a result of that, and glad to have been wrong

Not only in Latin America. The US also continues to keep their fascist allies alive in Europe, Asia, Africa and everywhere else.

Every leftist country will either be undermined secretly (Europe), will have fake elections to overcome this problem (Latin America), or endure another fascist coup.

In Europe this fascist US backed coups happened until the 70ies. Now the press is enough to vilify citizens and workers rights.
That still doesn't imply "naturalness". Quite the opposite. It implies that both are natural since both are adopted and both have been switched to after previously adopting the other.

Remember, too, that most people consider every system that they learn first as "natural". Like it's equally true that historically people did not select base 10 very often. Base 12 and base 60 were both popular as well if they're even using positional numbering at all. Nevermind how long we went in positional numbering without a zero. Is zero then unnatural? I think it must be. Is "naturalness" even virtuous then?
Not only boring, I am stressed out by it. I feel like I'm losing valuable seconds of my life watching it, and it makes me feel depressed and disconnected from society to think about how popular it is.

You're not explicitly saying to dumb it down, but I'd be curious if this advice would scale to genuinely deep content.

The cynical hypothesis is that people don't want to think about what you wrote, and if you put enough pretty pictures and big fonts that even people who didn't pay much attention will have a good time.

I'd be curious if perhaps a seminal blog post (e.g. one of PG's) could be rewritten in this style without sounding reductive and oversimplified.

TLDR: no

Your own node is connected to other nodes to get latest blocks and publish transactions to the network. These peers are selected randomly among the pool of available nodes. If the attacker has enough nodes, there is a good probability that your node's peers are partly controlled by the attacker. When you publish a new transaction and broadcast it to your peers, the attacker can detect that it is indeed a new transaction (since it is the first time it's seen by the attacker nodes) and that the IP address of your node is the IP address of the transaction sender.
It's not going to work 100% of the time (except if _all_ your node's peers are controlled by the attacker) but with a few transactions it's eventually going to lead the attacker to your IP address.

It's the same kind of attacks that are used to deanonymize people on TOR.

If you want to protect yourself from that, you need to add a few layers of trusted no-logs VPN in front of your node, so that the attacker is lead to a dead end.

I've seen what you describe often, people that are simply bitter and spew hate. But does jealousy and bitterness invalidate their point of view?

I've founded two start-ups in my life, both still generating revenue and still alive but practically failures for their intent. The first one failed primarily since I didn't know how to execute, had no understanding of business model and distribution, all the classics. The second one I think should have been much more successful were it not for a lot of random factors: covid, scheming employees, much harder sales cycles, etc. You may think I'm rationalizing this, but I've had enough self-doubt to reach this conclusion.

I am jealous of the people that founded start-ups 10 years before me, and which gave bad advice that I realized too late to be bad. But at the same time, does this invalidate my view that the entire ecosystem is deeply corrupt and unfair?

Success and failure are a matter of luck and circumstance to a large degree. This implies that outside of a fee meritorious success stories (see the original 90s video of Bezos arguing why book are best to start as a niche), most success stories in the startup world have no more merit than your own, so why wouldn't you expect negative feelings to exist?

> I didn't expect screen hinges to be the biggest annoyance.

it really depends on what you do with it

I'm perfectly fine with the hinge strength and wouldn't want to stronger hinges.

But I can see that it's quite sup-par if someone idk. frequently uses it in quite bump situations or cares a lot about the angle of the screen not changing when idk. carrying it open around with one hand maybe handling a kid with the other or similar. Like if I lift it besides the touch pat with one hand and shake it a bit it (without much force just a bit of up down "shaking") the screen will open/close (depending if it was more open or closed before). Through I thing I might have some of the very very early "even worse" hinges. (But then for my mostly in-homes use-case it really doesn't matter for me).

Wrt. the sleep issues it's pretty much the issues discussed recently i.e. not OS specific and hard for Framework to fix. I can't say too much about it as I default my setup to sleep-then-hibernate since many year so I never really cared about "long deep sleep" working well.

ACE of 3 after I started living with my grandparents. ACE of 8 if you include the first 2 years of my life.

I am doing mediocre:

Career: bad

Love life: fantastic

The rest: hardcore self-dev mode

I am an insomniac and it’s fucking up my life. The ability to hold down a job because of it is really hard, unless I do intellectually easy work, which programming isn’t for me.

I also had a horrible career start. I had top marks at my university but I didn’t know anything about hiring cycles. So I just chilled for a year and then had a rough time finding a job, took a job I didn’t want for the sake of it and then had a few patches of jobs that I didn’t feel fully okay with, except for my last job but then tech layoffs happened and interviewing became hard.

Some people say I should become a dating coach as opposed to a dev but I have no idea on how to do the marketing and sales for that. I currently feel tech is more sustainable.

It’s funny:

I taught people in 3 month coding bootcamps when I still was a CS student and they are more senior than me.

My friend that studied business doing no programming on the side is nowadays more senior than me.

I paid a career coach $5000 which is a lot on a yearly salary of $35000 (if I have a job), but it’s not helping. It’s probably in part because I am Dutch and he is better in the US market.

I feel it’s a cruel joke. I did all the “moves” to not launch a career at all.

I could use some help but I don’t exactly know what kind of help as my blind spots career-wise are big (otherwise I wouldn’t have overindexed on uni, 2 bachelors and 2 masters). It doesn’t help that I am immigrating to the US at some point (marriage) for my current job search in NL.

I am currently also in therapy in the diagnostic stage. I probably will be diagnosed as autistic (at 33+ of age) but the jury is still out, could also be adhd or both. I sought help for my insomnia.

I currently meditate 2 hours per day since 2 weeks ago. I don’t think I will ever stop that again. I can feel that it helps a lot, especially with executive functioning (prefrontal cortex - doing your tasks) and somewhat for sleep too.
Is the talk not recorded? If not, can he do it again? It seems people who were at the talk, talk more about the talk than this post.
I don't think it has anything to do with efficiency, but with effectivity. You could argue producing addictive videos for teens is Mr beasts goal. And he is very effective at doing that. And actually yes, successful at that goal.

Success doesn't really have a moral component, it's relative to the stated goal. You could argue it's not meaningful or moral or worthwhile or valuable, but you can't deny that he has achieved success.

So the thing you can take away from someone like mr beast is "what made them so effective?". A lot of his strategies could be useful for other, more worthwhile goals than his! So there's something that can be learned. I think that's what people mean, not that "people in tech generally value efficiency".
I'm not so sure about the spaced repetition side of things. Out of curiosity I've just opened MathAcademy after not doing any lessons for a little over two weeks and all choices I have are for new lessons. I expected to see an ocean of reviews instead, since surely I'm on the verge of forgetting a lot of what I've learned.

Other than that, I have very high hopes for the future of MA. It's by far the best platform I've found for actually learning math.
Absolute nonsense. The Netherlands does the same stuff and calling Ireland an irrelevant nation is an incredibly ignorant statement to label a country that vastly punches above its weight in science, technology, and research.

Excellent write up. Intolerable videos.
Australia has two major grocery chains who stockpile vacant land to remain monopolistic. The supermarkets screw suppliers on price and will dump them entirely if they speak out. They also produce their own ‘home brands’ which undercut competitors as they own the entire supply chain. You can be damn sure it’s happening here.

Edit: and whether it happens or not, my question was related to whether mr beast dangling a million dollars for someone to stand in a circle for 100 days is as unethical as price gouging essential items. One may take advantage of a few people and is probably not extremely biased towards the most vulnerable, (e.g. the participants are probably not homeless), the other is taking advantage of everyone, homelessness is surging in aus atm. I see Mr beasts videos as far less damaging than the current problem in Australia.
I'm very much a fan of the inverted pyramid structure[1], which is alluded to in the post but not quite spelled out.

You want the point of the article as early as possible, in the title or the first paragraph, and then you elaborate on why. This filters out people who aren't going to be interested, and piques the interest of those who will.

You can also just stop reading at any point and will have gotten the most out of it anyway.

Most annoying format of writing I know is the article that strings you along some meandering 40k word essay and you can barely find out what it's about until two thirds the way down.

That reads like an XKCD alt-text.

I don't see how the EGR could possibly affect perceived responsiveness. What "killed responsiveness" in my opinion is heavy turbocharging with long spool-up times, with engines so small that they cannot even maintain highway speeds at full throttle without boost pressure. Or, if only naturally aspirated engines are responsive enough for you, boost altogether.

The EGR only opens when the cylinders are running too hot and there is is no request for power. It is fully closed during normal driving, and even when it is open it will slam shut the moment you touch the throttle. Heck, you might not even experience it opening at all during some driving sessions.

"driving 4 answers" has a pretty good video on EGR (note that the particular format of the video requires sticking around for the "debunk"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnpj4eIo6nI&t=1637s

> but it would be nice if people remembered what we are missing and started pushing for having it back.

We got something far, far more responsive: Electric. Combustion engine don't even make it to the leader board, and with some of the electric options out there, the speed of your throttle foot ends up being a significant bottleneck.
Comes out to the same as "Throw away the first one", doesn't it? Who was that, Fred Brooks?
I like your examples, but I disagree. Having also read Plato and many of the speculative writings that address his work, much of it is still up for debate, especially when context is not understood. Feynman, whom I enjoy as well, often said some really nonsensical things that he probably thought had a lot of philosophical depth (I think specifically of The Pleasure of Finding Things Out which is a nice feel-good piece but does not bring much meat to the table afterall). To be fair to him and your example, he did absolutely have a knack for breaking down scientific complexities to terms non-scientists could grasp, which I applaud. Yes, let's do more of that.

So, sure, there is a time where simpler language is an exercise in how well you know a thing. Being able to break it down into simpler terms makes sense. But we do have to be careful with the language. It's dynamic, as you mention, often subject to interpretation that could lead to misunderstanding or improper handling of an idea. I did it in my initial reply.

That said, one must know one's audience and subject, I think. Am I conveying a concept from physics to non-technical individuals who might not care what I have to say in the first place? Sure, simplify. Am I telling a story about a personal experience or some relatable problem in my field? Expect a detailed and nuanced picture to be painted.

Thanks for the comment, it gave me something to think about.
Read the second paragraph as if it's paraphrasing the people he's pointing at in the first paragraph.

I found it quite clear. But then I agreed with it.
More than that, it can run arbitrary non-git commands too: prefix with `!` to run in the shell instead of as arguments to `git`.
I always thought eleven and twelve were remnants from when the system was more base twelveish.

It was never actually base 12, that would have required inventing 0, But sometimes I wonder if we would not have been better off sticking with base 12.

And before someone chimes in with "base 10 is natural because we have 10 fingers" no we have 8 fingers, by that logic we should be using base 8, but the real winner in using base 12 is count using your finger bones(there are twelve of them) and use your thumb to keep your count, use both hands and you can get to 100(144 in base 10). this is probably why base twelveish was so common, shepards counting sheep. try counting to 100 in base 10 on your fingers, not so natural now is it.

From my experience, nobody teaches you Git properly in school. And once you get your first job, it is too late.

We had various lectures on languages models, math, algorithms, networking... absolutely nothing on git (I did my classes between 2008 and 2013, things might have changed now)
Arguably neither does fast food - it gives you energy, but it's also quite bad for your health and your wallet. So, it feeds you, sure, but the negatives likely far outweigh the positives.

If you've ever cooked meals for multiple days with just some ground beef, cabbage and some lettuce and friends for ~10 bucks per day, you'll see how crazy expensive a $20 fast food ""meal"" is.

So this is fast food content, because it does entertain, but you could do many things to get good entertainment and also not consume absolute slop.
