Your characterization is a bit more tame than their description of the interaction in the YouTube comments [0]:

> I thought about making the incident accessible to a wider public through YT for 24 hours and ultimately decided to do so in order to document to us Germans and Europeans that SWAT'ing is not a phenomenon limited to the USA and is dangerous. also to document what kind of criminal energy there is and how completely inappropriately the police acted in my case in my opinion.

> During a live stream while bi-secting a SPARC Linux bug in our ExactCODE GmbH office, the bell rang, the door was banged and the police were called. Unsuspecting - I assumed someone else was missing or there had been a break-in - when I opened the door I was confronted by a good 10 police officers with drawn weapons and at least one with what looked to me like a Taser. After I was identified, I was immediately handcuffed when I heard “hands out of my pockets” in the video!!! I had seen about 10 police officers in front of and in our office, and it wasn't until the following day that neighbors reported that the entire street, right up to the next intersection, was full of a dozen (or more) emergency vehicles!!! about 10 police cars, 2 fire departments, 1 ambulance, an emergency doctor etc...!!!

> According to the conversation with the police, an email was sent to the police and another to other rescue workers saying that I had killed my wife and now wanted to take my own life. I assume an email of the type Hans Musterman 6345234@xyz? With his real name @t-oline, hardly anyone would provoke such an action. I find it completely disproportionate that the police go out with such a number of devices and personnel to a registered company registered as a GmbH and not first Google the name and company in order to presumably find my YouTube (and Twitch) activities directly.

> A team of two or four officers, and if necessary a test call to the company, would have been more than sufficient given such low-quality evidence. Likewise, neither to identify myself nor to put handcuffs on me immediately. The police should act more prudently and balanced here and not allow themselves to be paraded like this.

> But I would like to express my gratitude that I was otherwise treated reasonably humanely, that I survived it and that there was no other damage to property. It could have been much worse. If we had all just been on our lunch break, for example, the office would probably have been forced open by the fire department. To be honest, completely unacceptable for an IT company...! :-/

There is one rho algorithm for discrete logarithms and one for factoring. Published three years apart.
People in the thread that are saying this is what they have been waiting for, but is it? Maybe scheduled reminders, but this feels unprompted.

Starting to wonder if we figured out AGI long ago and for whatever reason it was withheld from the public...
Comparison to drugs is a bit extreme, but I think that some level of concern about MrBeast-style operations and the content they produce is warranted.

It’s not just broad appeal, but the mass reach of YouTube, the audience targeting and tight feedback loop it enables, and the resulting race to the bottom for who can make the most stupid and/or shocking videos, which in turn informs the tastes of the masses. Where does it end? Will it eventually get to the point that the only profitable YouTube channels are MrBeast-style because nothing else can bring in views?
> So your point is that well-renowned graduate programs are on an equal financial footing as those that are less well regarded?

No. I don't know where in the world you got that from what I said.

> I think it’s fairly well established that better programs have better funding.

It's not that simple. Funding can vary widely by university and department. You want to make it uniform, but it's not.

The reputation of a program is determined by a number of factors, and it can change over time. A lot depends on the particular professors who happen to be there at a certain point. And sometimes giant public universities are able to compete with smaller elite private universities by sheer size, i.e., the size of the faculty.
What are they doing? They gave free cataract surgery to a huge number of people across the world, built wells, have distributed an ungodly amount of food and the list goes on. Just google the foundation and stop being grumpy. My bet is you will not be able to give away a tiny fraction of what they have in your whole life, even with all their flaws.
> but I think “It makes money so it must be valuable” is a terrible benchmark.

The GP never said this. They didn't say it was good because it made money, they said it was good because people like it and watch it. I like it and watch it. I agree with the GP.
Try Vihart on YT, eg this one is one of the most awesome explanations I’ve seen: https://youtu.be/VIVIegSt81k?si=yRlWlEf2-rEICgtk. And kids love this stuff.
I have a theory that all these lone gunmen are not coordinated in any way.
That's such an inspiring story! It's amazing how serendipitous connections can lead to something amazing. I had a similar experience meeting my previous co-founder at an in-person event in Austin where I was presenting. There’s just something special about those chance encounters, whether online or offline. I've also met a few incredible folks here on HN discussions in my city. It's one of the things I truly appreciate about this community—never know where the next great connection might come from.
Your take is also not a good one either as you are ignoring my personal experience, and it seems you're assuming I'm just making stuff up. The question isn't "is the exposure good", "did the actor hit their mark", or anything else that a direct might be concerned. It was "what does it see".

Yes, it is hard to direct from around the corner and not being able to see anything. The Ozo did a live stitch that could be viewed in a headset. Guess what, directors didn't like wearing a headset all day just like the general public. Pushing the stitched feed to a monitor also caused confusion as some just can't wrap their head around how the rectilinear image translates. It came down to use attaching a dedicated GoPro to the stand of the VR camera that looked "straight" just so directors/video village could "see" something. The directors were now much happier than all of the other attempts.
My apologies, it runs a 4750u amd processor.
So this is basically just what cars should look like.
Interesting approach. Diffusion models can be useful. But as the technology stands, I don't think artists who don't use AI will be replaced by artists who do, or by AI itself, anytime soon.
ACE of 9. Founded two successful alt-weekly newspapers, worked on world-famous collectible card games, lost it all due to illness that nearly killed me, recovering and slowly making my way back.

One thing a high ACE score did for me was make me an irresistible force, even as it seemed to turn the rest of the world into immovable objects.
I don’t think we go around frequently cutting international interconnects? Do you have a source for this?
Indeed. As I recall Computer Shopper's articles were the legally minimum percentage of the magazine to make it qualify as a periodical rather than a catalog (US postage rates between the two differed, with periodicals being cheaper). We subscribed for the ads, but some of the articles (like Don Lancaster teaching writing Postscript manually to create figures) were interesting.
I looked it up.

1. SHA-256: Used twice (double SHA-256) for block hashing and once in address generation.

2. RIPEMD-160: Used once in address generation (after SHA-256).

3. ECDSA: Used once for transaction signing and verification.

4. Base58Check: Used once for address encoding (includes a checksum generated using SHA-256).
Before it could load I hit back. Honest feedback.
If these vapes are disposable, wouldn't it be cheaper for the manufacturers to use non-rechageable battery technologies like the many ones on AA(A) batteries?
good channels that create creative and stimulating videos that are a benefit to humanity

Restoration and repair videos could be a good choice, although there's also plenty of fake clickbait content there too now. I usually actively avoid content with sensationalised titles and look for smaller non-profit creators.
They work perfectly and hook to my ears so they can’t fall off!
The bit about A, B, and C players is good.

I had been thinking about this as learning ability (fluid intelligence) and institutional knowledge both following a power law distribution. Mr. Beast refers to A and B players as being sufficiently high in learning ability and only differing in their position in the institutional knowledge distribution.

Packaging this effect into a 3 category model definitely makes it easier to operationalize. The severance part is important too, since there would be hesitancy to terminate even obvious "C players".
I don't like how much people tie success to the amount of money someone earns. (or how many views someone gets on YouTube, for that matter)

There are many people who I consider successful that have never earned 700 mil, and there are people who made billions I don't give a fuck about.
I’m not sure it’s still “Black”. I think it might just be “Mirror”.
I have MS and an MS diagnosis in 1994, 2004, 2014, and 2024 are all wildly different experiences. A lot of progress has been made in this area very quickly, to the point where you can see the stratification/differences in progression based on diagnosis year very clearly in support groups and neurology practices.

I'm about 10 years post diagnosis and in those 10 years a ton of progress has been made. It's to the point where I've moved from considering MS a probably lifelong incurable disease to 'if I can hold on for ~20 more years without significant relapses, it can probably be cured or controlled.'
Algorithm
Haw to sell an innovative Algorithm wich can be a solution of traveling Sales Problem(TSP)?
Except for two...

“The two remaining blue zones, Loma Linda and the Nicoya Peninsula, are considered exceptional due to their high average longevity rather than the presence of the oldest-old.”

That said, the study cites a CDC look at the area that showed the area-wide average was not higher. It's not clear if this tells us we cannot learn anything from Loma Linda cases, since the original thesis for longevity in this area was a particular subset of community practicing health consciousness since the late 1800s, not the area itself nor the community at large.
> Samsung has proved you wrong for years

In comparison with Samsung phones, “Apple’s iPhones on average have an additional year of use even though the two brands are comparable in quality and technological innovation” [1].

Jujutsu is a great interface to the git data structures, and it makes all of this obviously true.
Update: you are correct, the water-resistant bone conduction set works like a charm. And they won’t fall off. I’d say your solution is conservatively .5% what I would have paid for the less satisfying parametric array.
7, basically was cut of from the last family member last year I had hopes in for over a decade after helping her to get back up, that cost me dearly in my career and private social life.

I pulled myself back up these year, don't have any holes in my CV and still have a job that pays enough so that I can put stuff aside. Which I'm taking as a win.

I do have some friends left that I can trust, which I take as a win.

Currently don't have a partner, but at least I not only recovered from the last break up, but I also got something slowly brewing that could become something or atleast another good friend. Taking that as a win.

Middle aged and most health problems are manageable or in progress about getting better. Taking this as a neutral.

Could have been in a much better space in life if specific people wouldn't have maliciously against me and I wouldn't have taken the risk on the one member I mentioned already. But I also could easily be, and see others, even some of my friends, in worse places.

So I think, I did quite alright.
It's mostly the cost aspect that is preventing me from even exploring the jewelry CAD options... Matrix Gold which is apparently the preeminent CAD software in the jewelry industry... Costs a few thousand dollars and only runs on Windows... Both of which are completely out of touch with my open source Linux setup.
Dependencies and critical components - so much of software development fails because these aren’t understood and managed accordingly.
You know that $7,500 tax credit people got for buying their products? That’s the most obvious one but the bigger one is the carbon regulatory credits: governments require other car manufacturers to buy credits to offset their high-pollution vehicles, and since Tesla doesn’t make any of those they can sell something like half a billion dollars of them per quarter as pure profit. This has been most of their profitability in some quarters.
Just here to say I think modal is really cool. Keep up the good work!
Nanoplastics put stress on trees and impair photosynthesis
Sorry that I didn't jump back on to respond sooner.

Re: consumer electronics, the obvious big example is cell phones, and notably major manufacturers have started adding features to extend battery lifespan by capping charge levels. Samsung has had this for a few years, originally capped at 85% but changed in a recent update down to 80%. I believe this occurred around the same time they extended their software support to 5 years. Apple added the same thing in iOS 17 with the iPhone 15 models, but despite obviously having the hardware capability ("optimized charging") they didn't enable the feature on earlier models.
Being ineligible doesn't mean you can't apply. In some countries asylum applications can take years to be processed, I think Spain is one.
Each key is a brand in the analogy.
Also, here's another independent journalist who's been there and covered the situation:

https://youtu.be/rvZTr3F_YZI

These are real people, real Americans, who are facing real hardships, who you care nothing about. Save all your coping cultural luxury beliefs. These people are facing declining wages, losses of jobs and now the federal government is dumping tons of Haitians on their strained systems.

Luxury beliefs are those that might make your feel good and virtuous, but ultimate hurt everyone in the lower class you think you advocate for.

> Fourth, it's not cool to smear, even tangentially, 12-15k people

It's not slander if it's true.
There are various browser extensions that you might like. Clickbait Remover for Youtube, DeArrow, etc. They remove the thumbnail images and replace them with a frame from a random time within the video, and replace or modify the video title to make it less sensational. I also recommend Sponsorblock.
Talking about an amazing alibi though. Just play back the live stream and see it wasn't me. If only Shaggy had that kind of alibi.
The poor grammar drives me crazy. I get that I am not the target employee, but if I walked in to a job and was handed that on my first day I'd walk right out based on presentation alone.
> That being said who knows how bad these cells are.

I think there's a reason these things are disposable in the first place... only God knows where the f..k the original fly-by-night producer of these vapes sourced them from, or what kind of quality control has been done on them. Or who skipped on a fraction of a cent per piece on a million batteries...
Increasingly, so, and doing it by gross vehicle weight is the most fair since it also covers the guys buying heavy pickups as daily commuters.

I laughed. The unexpected context shift is very Douglas.
> Decentralize decision-making authority as much as possible. Remove barriers in their way, slash approval layers, attack dependencies.

This is awful advice. You can only operate in this mode for at best 2-3 months before your entire SDLC grinds to a halt because it's been the wild west in github.

> Bias heavily toward action - it's better to decide and be wrong sometimes than to paralyze the team with analysis.

This is...more awful advice. My startup has gone through COVID and the financial slowdown and the only reason we've succeeded is because we never stop measuring.

The very next paragraph after "decentralize everything and communicate heavily" is "allow your team to focus and centralize administrative duties."

And the the NEXT paragraph is "work closely with your team and even write some code."

This entire blog post is all over the place. It reads like each paragraph was written by a different person with completely different experiences.

If you want to manage your team while the house is on fire, don't change anything. Communicate clearly, ensure that the culture and philosophy of the team bend when necessary but don't break, and work on alleviating the real problem. One of: lack of product market fit, burning cash like it's going out of style, or no clear path to profitability or the next raise.

Your engineering team is probably not the problem if your startup is failing.
Cosma Shalizi has a piece about how if you aggregate any similar set of tests, even if they're meaningless, even if you literally generate them at random, you will get a "g"; it's like pointing out that a nonsingular matrix has an inverse.

That's fine, provided you weren't going to heat it with a heat pump before you decided to use a Bitcoin miner. I suppose there's also a slight environmental cost in producing a Bitcoin miner vs producing a heating coil but I'm going to assume that's negligible.
It boggles the mind that you can just send an email to the police and they'd act as if whoever is targeted by that email is in fact a dangerous criminal and they'd arrest them and subject them to all kinds of humiliation and harassment and mistreatment - just based on a single unsubstantiated email.

I thought this idiocy is endemic only to the US police but it looks like German police is the same too? And people just accept it as normal? I mean kudos to German police not rushing in with guns drawn and not treating the scene like they are in the Battle of Falluja, but it is still fscking insane - why did they have to cuff him and subject him to a hour-long questioning at the station - what did it take them an hour to find out? Why is all this considered normal?
Is this basically saying he sent all the ETH out of his "account" (presumably to another one that was pre-generated & pre-shared half the private key with his family), so that it just had the Shiba tokens left in it?

Then he didn't have to worry about the Shiba related transactions affecting his ETH?
Wouldn't it have been better to do the typical thing of sending a patrol unit out to see what might be going on, and then send out the rest of the squad if they request the back up?
I believe it’s not entirely impossible to be a rowdy troll and a Rust bro at the same time, hence the former wouldn’t necessarily exclude the latter.

Actually, it's estimated that about a quarter of mining is in China. The largest players moved, the rest are lying low, so it's hard to get exact numbers.

(N.B. the Replicad studio code editor on that site seems to be broken today, which is a bummer -- it wasn't when I last checked)

CadQuery might not be in Ubuntu repositories on its own (same with Build123D -- these are python libraries really) but have you tried looking for cq-editor? (I think that's in Homebrew as well.)

https://snapcraft.io/install/cadquery-editor/ubuntu

To be fair I'd probably install the VSCode support for Build123D and CadQuery instead, because 1) this is code-CAD and you really manage it as such, and 2) I'm not that fond of the cq-editor environment.

This extension can install Build123D or CadQuery for you if you have a python setup for VSCode.
I’m 39 and thoroughly enjoy MrBeast videos. They’re clever and fun and exciting. Pretty amazing a lot of the things that only he can pull off. And he’s been pulling off impressive stunts for years. He’s incredibly well capitalized at this point, but he grinded there and has been doing novel videos from the start.
Opera and classical music are simply no longer the popular form of musical theater or music.

Stage musicals (Hamilton) and film musicals (anything from Disney) are still very popular.

Popular music concerts (Taylor Swift) are obviously incredibly popular, and they're usually not symphony concerts.

While popular tastes have largely diverged from classical art music, a good deal of "popular" (and often excellent, in my opinion) symphonic music is still being produced and listened to as film music and game music.
Teen Girls' Brains Aged Rapidly During Pandemic, Study Finds
One thing I find interesting is that y combinator content (like Michael and Dalton videos) don’t talk much about team intensity and culture aside from cliche terms, but successful teams obsess over it. I mean he’s literally saying he’ll give you $1000 to study the handbook, and the handbook says average employees should be fired immediately (in all caps). I’ve never heard something like that come from y combinatory, but I’ve seen other successful teams do similar things
It was the same for me. The question seems to be whether "-3" here represents the operation "negate" or the number "negative 3". If it's the latter, then -3^2 is (-3)^2.

It is at least self-aware on that front: the first page says “Sorry in advance for all the run on sentences and grammar issues, I’m a youtuber not an author haha.”
Seems like SWATting investigations are a lot more effort than just claiming it as suicide by cop and calling it a day. So I'm slightly impressed that the requires effort option is taken at all
How does that align with Dan Luu’s article “95th percentile isn’t that good”[1] and the general observation so many of us have that the companies we work for and interact with and buy from are executing so badly on so many fronts?

That is, most programmers aren’t good programmers, most managers aren’t good managers, most salaries aren’t good salaries, most salespeople aren’t good salespersons, most workflows aren’t efficient, most team communications aren’t effective.

If Dan Luu is right, it shouldn’t take extraordinary effort to do better (excepting the case where “trying” is extraordinary). If he’s wrong why does it take Herculean effort to outdo a bunch of average companies?

[1] https://danluu.com/p95-skill/
I am quite taken back (and a little choked up tbh) by the high numbers that people are reporting in the comments. I can't even imagine what that means.

Seriously wishing you best to all of you.

> You know that $7,500 tax credit people got for buying their products? That’s the most obvious one

The same tax credit applies to qualifying vehicles bought from any automaker. This has nothing to do with Tesla.

> the bigger one is the carbon regulatory credits

Again, every qualifying automaker can do exactly the same thing.
Presumably the cars were just there to witness the reasonable cooperation?

> the whole street was full of about 10 (or more) emergency vehicles right up to the next intersection!!! about 10 police cars, 2 fire departments, 1 ambulance, an emergency doctor
