I hate the actual content he produces - the first time I watched it, I kept thinking it's a trailer because of all the cuts and I wondered, where is the actual video, when I realized no, I am watching the actual video - but I have to commend the grind.

He is trully obsessive about getting the most views, almost soullessly designing the perfect viral content, caring about every second. He literally starts with the thumbnail and title and only then works out the rest of the video!

I also like this 2 years old video of visiting his studio. This guy literally sleeps in his giant studio, everything is super optimized.

Of course the end result is entirely pointless. But still. I respect the grind.

(I also love when he "builds 1000 houses in Africa" or whatever, and he usually never even mentions the country or the place name. It's not that important. But at least he does some good, I guess.)
I notice you don't correct anything I've said, because none of it is false.

He did blame CrowdStrike, right at the top of the list of blame. He did not take any responsibility for what he and his org did.

> If Ace 0 is a minority

I don't think it is. In developed nations I'd guess that 0 is probably the majority (maybe 0, 1 and 2). The internet isn't the best place for these kinds of statistics. If they where everyone would be depressed, have contemplated or attempted suicide, have anxiety and a host of mental problems.

There is new research that suggests that talking about problem like depression may in fact cause depression and the internet is amazing at propagating the idea that all sorts of mental issue are something that everyone encounters.

My score was 0 and I have a happy, if middle class life and wonderful family. Stressful at times, but mostly not. It's also not terribly exciting, but that suites me.

https://purgecss.com/ does this, kind of -- it used to be recommended by Tailwind back when Tailwind shipped a giant zip-bomb stylesheet of every possible property/value combination by default. I don't think it does the more complicated browser-like analysis you mention, though; it might just check whether class names appear in your HTML using a regex search.

The AMP WordPress plugin also does something like this IIRC (to try and fit stylesheets into AMP's size limit) but the tooling for it might be written in PHP.
It's been really fun seeing the growth over the last year. Tons of people and fun/interesting posts. Feels like the early days of Twitter.
Can you provide me an actual way to practice these things? Like, specific, exacting ways to execute each of these? Or any of these? Because they don't make any sense.

"Value individuals and interactions over processes and tools". So, rather than put an update in a Jira ticket, DM it to a single person in Slack?

"Value working software over comprehensive documentation". So, never write documentation? And how do you define "working" software? What about features in development? (etc)

"Value customer collaboration over contract negotiation". Lol. I have never talked to a customer, in my entire career. I have also only heard about contracts, and usually they are ridiculous. I guess this is supposed to be different... but kinda hard to make it different if you aren't allowed to get close to a customer or a contract negotiation. (Why the fuck is this in an engineering guideline?? Do you find a lot of developers doing contract negotiation?)

> Value responding to change over following a plan

?????????? Does anyone know what the fuck this means?

....

The rest of the "12 principles" are equally stupid and nonsensical. They only "seem right" if you don't think about them for more than 5 seconds, and you live in some kind of fantasy world.

> using only part of the machine for the chance that something new will come along seems wasteful.

Because it is. My brother works in industrial manufacturing machinery supplies. I can assure you the overwhelming majority of manufacturing machines on the planet are not only run constantly but as near to 99.999% as possible. So much that they are even loath to turn them off for critical maintenance rather preferring to let the machine break down so they don't get blamed for being the person to "ruin productivity"

This book sounds like one of those flights of fancy armchair generals are so found of going on.

Perhaps it works in small boutique shops making specialized orders but that is a slim minority of the overall manufacturing base. I could see why the advice would appeal to HN readers.
I just treated it as a binomial distribution with a fixed but unknown probability.

Take the case of zero successes, that can happen for every probability except for one.

The graph peaks at zero, but if you calculate 'x' such that the integral from zero to x of the binomial function is equal to the integral from x to one, you get a nice centre point.

ACE 1, I think. I don't have many fond memories of childhood. Although my parents weren't monsters, I went to school in an area where high ACE schools would have been common, and being somewhat of a nerd was the odd one out, I struggled socially for my first few decades. There was no Internet in those days to find like-minded weirdos.

Fundamentals I picked up from years of writing on the Internet:

- Shorter sentences

In general, you should aim to write sentences with 8-13 words each.

- Shorter words

You may think of this as "dumbing-down" your writing, but you don't get bonus points for saying utilizing instead of using.

- One idea per sentence

In other words, don't write non sequiturs.

- One concept per paragraph

That's definitely the 'retro' way of doing it, and has been effectively outlawed in Europe with the new banking file and payment standards laws.

It's rather hilarious, one of the major banks I had a conversation with back in 2019 (as these new laws were barely getting off the ground in tech implementation) noted that they had a service which allowed you to drop in raw SWIFT messages (interbank commmunication format) into a folder via SFTP to make payments in bulk or download bank statements. It's very real!

I wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot of big firms grandfathered into that, and may be still (unlawfully?) offering it.
There are various frictions. I use multiple different banks, credit cards and investment platforms (partially due to my life being split between two countries). Each of them has their own clunky manual process for downloading statements (including MFA). The statements are in different formats. On the most recent version of GnuCash that I used I experienced weird bugs with the CSV importer which meant it would sometimes crash when I tried to use preset rules.

Classifying transactions is probably the biggest time sink. GnuCash's auto-categorise feature is somewhat helpful but requires a lot of manual intervention and honestly I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what a particular expense related to (often the note on my bank statement is not helpful).

Ultimately, 2 hours per month is probably about what it took me as well. But x12 that's 24 solid hours of importing. And once you go back a few months it probably takes longer because it is more difficult to recall what particular expenses were for.
This is the line of reasoning phone scammers used whenever kitboga (a scam baiter) revealed his identity and asked them why they did this job instead of something better. One of them asked him "oh, so you are a saint, and you never did anything wrong?"

I don't get it. What is the difference between this website and the rest of the internet?
'exploit' comes from Latin via French, where the meaning of 'to attain profit through abuse' is further down on the list of meanings (https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/exploitation/...) compared to English where it's the primary or secondary meaning (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exploit).

I'd probably agree that it makes sense to try to find a synonym where possible, but I wouldn't say it's necessary in cases where it would not be succinct or clear otherwise.
I think it's useful to look what happens at the margin. If you are connected to the grid, or could be reasonably connected, all the power you use comes from the source with the highest marginal costs in the region. Most of the time in most places, that means a power plant burning fossil fuels. If the demand goes down permanently, that power plant will be the first to shut down.

If you buy existing clean energy to compensate for your emissions, overall emissions will remain the same, no matter which hacks or accounting tricks you use. That clean energy would be produced and sold anyway, because the marginal costs are so low. If you can't avoid emissions and want to compensate them, you must invest in new renewable capacity that replaces fossil fuels somewhere.
That probably says more about the market you’re in, or you as a candidate. Every time I’ve looked for a job on LinkedIn I’ve found one almost immediately, and the recruiters I know who most reliably have something for me I all met via LinkedIn.
It's a little worse than that.

After Dieselgate, Volkswagen brought their diesels into compliance by software patch. People did dyno runs of all VWs before and after the patch, and in many cases (e.g. the 180HP Passat) got something like 10% less horsepower and drastically worse torque curves (max torque at 1900 rpm instead of at 1500 rpm) after the patch. Fuel economy also went down by around 10% because of the patch.

Makes sense from a thermodynamic perspective: your engine runs with more power/torque and more efficient if you run it hotter. But running a diesel hotter makes much more NOx.
Well, the bits jump around.. bytes are ordered, but the bits aren't, with LE (between bytes) so there's always room for a never-ending discussion about what's best ("Are you a bit person? Or a byte person? Then your preferences may differ"). The best argument for LE would be that a processor like e.g. the 6502 could start processing the least significant byte while fetching the most significant byte, and that on a VAX you could pass a 4-byte integer to a Fortran function expecting a 2-byte integer and it would actually work (as long as the value was > 65536). That was actually done a lot back in the day.. and created problems when recompiling the Fortran code for a BE architecture.
To whom shall I send the invoice?
Yes. And that needs to be paid for somehow. Who most wants it and who has the most money with which to create it? Big tech always talks of 'making the world a better place'. Paying these costs is a way to prove that.
The labels seem to be taken from OpenStreetMap, so blame imperfect labelling there.

I guess taking labels from OSM is akin to taking your facts from Wikipedia (except that Wikipedia actually tends to be pretty well curated these days).
It's just a pressure difference, no need for explosions. You can create it with a lean mode as well it's less effective but doesn't kill the muffler and catalytic converter. It's still highly annoying though.

Only effective way to prevent it is a once off "fix it or it get's crushed" notice. And crush it the second time to a tiny tin box.
This is incorrect. Every ounce of that stuff winds up outside eventually. Regulation can only put it off. It's a gas and it has to go somewhere. It's like trying to keep lithium out of landfills.

With a large corpus (10,000+ sentences--each sentence is a "document" in my usecase) I can get similar results by kmeans clustering TF-IDF spmatrix vectors but it looks like this has a lot of utilities for making the kmeans part faster (binarization, etc).

You're actively do nothing instead of passively doing nothing.
If you buy so much solar that it leads to expansion of facilities, this "hack" will have you buying so much fossil power you are in effect subsidising the other fossil customers and thus prolonging their use of fossils. You definitely shouldn't count that power as 100% renewable.

It only works as a clean bypass of you buy so little you don't impact the local fossil market, but this is a discussion about large data centres so that's basically never satisfied.

> There is no ethics in business, only revenue and profits.

Ethics affect everything we do. If you are doing something deeply unethical, you have way more difficult time finding good employees, for example. Because people don't want to work for scumbags. And the people you find, are likely also unethical and care only about money, how do you think that is going to play out in the long run?

Business and ethics are inseparable. You have to understand ethics to be able to make money - not meaning that you need to be ethical.

I once had my nationality "leak" just by the specific addition I chose when ordering a specific hamburger-like dish at a food-stall. Something akin to choosing to put mustard on a hot-dog kind of situation. The person looked at me, knew, got confused as I had a perfectly neutral and non-native accent, and then just had to ask to confirm their suspicion.
> Given only a random public key, is it possible to quickly recognize when its corresponding private key has weak entropy?

No, but it is possible to quickly recognise that it matches a published puzzle address, which is derived from the public key. And the amount held by that address is public knowlege (it's on the blockchain).
Yes, LI 10-15 years ago was a decent site for professional networking, before it got too much like social media. Looking for work, get in touch with or keep in touch with people that you share professional interests with.

I guess it wouldn't be technically challenging to create a platform for this, the problem would be to bring the right users and as you say, moderate the content to avoid what it has become today.

11gen intel framework has been mostly very good to me: but the reminder why linux desktop is ouch was inevitable :
Ubuntu 22.04 is stuck on a kernel version with bad intel driver for 11gen (after 6 months ago the problem was discussed on arch forums)

That is a fundamental flaw to me, that ubuntu ships known bad kernels to the world capable of complete UI lockup requiring force alt+prtscrn+REISUB

(ubuntu 24.04 upgrade just released and fails, but now instead of figuring out why, my eternal anger means i am going to have to spend lots of time learning these nix or "atomic" distros that prioritize being able to switch kernels "easier?")
Please provide a source for this wild claim. Nothing winds up outside, unless it leaks. The gas can and does get reused indefinitely.

Additionally and just to put it in perspective, a typical AC Split-Setup contains around 1kg of R32 which would be equivalent to 677 kg of CO2 _if_ it would leak completely over the 20 years of usage (which it doesn‘t). That‘s equivalent of the CO2 contained in 285 liters of gasoline or about driving 3000 kilometers by car (for cars using 7-8 liters).
The expected leakage is 1-3 percent. So that‘s around 30 kilometers by car per year.

In reality, modern ACs are widely used for heating in winter (I am doing this myself) and help to reduce CO2 emissions compared to heating with oil or gas.

edit: I had to edit this twice. Actually the first estimate was correct.
