I agree with a lot of what he writes, but it's still one of my favorite games. I have faded memories about how frustrated I was running around trying to understand what I was supposed to do next, and strong memories about how the game and its world made me feel.
Oh, that’s just the Brooklyn bound train. Where’s the uptown one? Wait, the F is running on the 4? Where is that? This staircase is out of order? Where even is another staircase? This is saying I need to go to Metropolitan. I’m at Lorimer, apparently - wait, is that the same station? Is there an underground path from Grand Central or do I need to exit? What’s the best exit?

It’s unusual to see someone try to make the case for the MTA not being complex, “I got lost in the subway” is like a lowest common denominator NYC experience.
These were and are called "bent pipe" satalites as they deftly turn around an amplified signal. But their control circuits are different and are not so open.

For the airplane nerds, this was also how early radar jammers worked. They took an incomming radar signal, delayed it a little, and retransmitted. No processing required and no digital circuits. That worked very well once upon a time.

Okay... then the rates for drivers will automatically go up again since there's there'll be a mismatch between drivers & riders.
I remember setting geofenced reminders maybe even 10 years ago ("remind me X when I'm near the supermarket") and they were pretty cool but sat squarely in that zone where they were useful enough to be interesting but not reliable enough that you could count on them (the number of times I got a reminder 5 minutes after I left a place was a lot) - so the applications where you could seriously use them sat in a very narrow band.

This is probably one of a litany of missed opportunities I see where specifically Google missed the boat around 2010 - 2015. So much of what we have today they were already rolling out on phones as smart features ("Google Now" etc), and somehow it all faltered or even went backwards (I could reliably in set reminders by voice in 2013 I think, but by 2018 they were so unreliable I gave up).

What I don't understand here is how they are going to do all this tracking and ambient AI without destroying your phone battery. I'm surprised Apple especially will even allow a background process to run that is doing that much.
That's how it is in c++ so I'm used to it now, but I don't think I mind the dot. It differentiates a block scope from a struct initializer.
I have two main problems with Remarkable products:

1. They are too small. I want an A4/letter sized display for writing notes and for reading PDFs.

2. The pen is laggy. It’s very frustrating to use after using an iPad for a while.

Both of these are subjective though. Since Remarkable has a generous return policy, I recommend buying one and trying it for a couple of months. If you don’t find it useful, you can return it easily.

I’m hoping Remarkable comes out with a 13” display. There are others like the Fujitsu Quaderno, but it runs Android. I prefer a more focused device like the Remarkable.
If there was a way to deploy there and make a snapshot of it that could be cloned to my own server, change DNS settings (to point the domain to my own server and re-grab the ssl certs) and be good to go.. I'd jump on that.

especially with the addons setups offered, that could be nice.

> Arbitration makes sense when you think about how costly the court system is.

The court system isn't required to be trash. That's like how we made immigration so impossible that we just let people in illegally. It's a pretense. If official justice is so burdensome that we have to create extensive private legal systems, we should figure out a sane way to do things.

People who have the power to make decisions prefer it this way.

I feel annoyed that it seems the system conflates guidelines due to economic reasons with medically indicated ones. And with the HPV vax they keep upping the age limit. Bonus was the British study that showed a clear decline in dementia in elderly that got the shingles vax. Shows up because almost everyone born before a hard date got it and no one after did.

As a singular case study, Darnton's study on the Encyclopedie is a masterpiece on showing how commerce, yes, good old commerce, was such a big driver of the Enlightenment.

To me, it's also a much more satisfying explanation than Jared Diamond's speculations on the whole "why Europe" question. The unique confluence of factors -- including the very key commercialization of knowledge -- was not quite to be found elsewhere, even though Europe only a few centuries before the Enlightenment was arguably well behind multiple knowledge production traditions across the world.

Better than that would be a language that doesn't require / almost compel users (by "almost compel", I mean the user community, obviously, not the language literally, since it is not sentient) to use an IDE in order to use the language, and using which (language) you can still do what you said above, by just using a text editor.

In the same vein as what you said here about orthogonality ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42097347 ), programming languages and IDEs should be orthogonal (and actually are, unless deliberately linked). People were using languages much before IDEs existed. And they got a hell of a lot done using the primitive surrounding tools that existed back then, including, you know, gems like Lisp and the concepts embodied in it, many of which have, much later, been adopted by many modern languages.

And I still meant "almost compel", even by the community, because of course they cannot really compel you. I meant it in the sense of, for example, so many people using VS Code for programming posts.
Yep. I think this mostly would apply to smaller pre-funded startup with technical founder where there is time on the hands... but no cash.

"A bit lower than Datadog" probably still going to be at least order of magnitude..
Hyped and visible on socials doesn't necessarily mean it's widely used, but I guess it also depends on how you define widely. According to most stats I've seen Rust usage is maybe about 5-10% of languages like JavaScript and Python when you look at StackOverflow, indexes like PyPl, or GitHub statistics.

This is a questionable technical choice, especially considering HN's status as the SaaS mecca. So it begs the question: Why?

If the goal is to be able to rapidly switch to cloudflare when under attack then surely a TTL of 600 or 60 would be sufficient whilst being more respectful of your visitors?
Cite your sources.

Just because something feels true doesn't make it so.
I don't think it's been tested in studies, but I can offer that I had hand warts for 7 years until I got the HPV vaccine, and the hand warts suddenly disappeared after dose 2.

HPV functions by cloaking itself from your immune system. The reason why treatments like freezing work is not by removing the HPV -- it's by stimulating your immune system to look at the area around the wart. Then your immune system can get past the cloaking, and recognize the HPV, and then it destroys it.

So functionally, it makes total sense that the HPV vaccine would clear existing infections, and anecdotally, lots of patients (such as myself) have seen HPV clear after getting the vaccine. It's a shame that our bureaucracy doesn't have the incentives to run the studies to acknowledge it institutionally.

I had that problem a couple versions ago.. turns out one table in the postgres DB, I think 'devices..' something got be like 50 GB and I could never get it widdled down even with manual vacuums and such,

I think the newer version of matrix handles cleaning that table better, but I'd need to login a check, it's been a while.

Given that the DB gets so big I had to bit the bullet and move from spinning HDs to SSDs on my latest install. Make a big difference at the beginning of course, the DB had not ballooned yet.

Yes, currently the house, and to a good degree everything else including state governments, represent the parties. Supposedly parties represent their members by proxy as an unofficial institution, but I think you and I would agree that that is naively optimistic to believe.

Requiring representatives to represent a maximum number of people wouldn't eliminate gerrymandering, but it would significantly reduce it's efficacy. I think, districting based on geography is the ultimate cause of the problem, the theory goes that people in close proximity share interests, but we see that that's not really optimal. It would be nice if something like, people can form groups together in a state that would function like districts, with a maximum number of members, and a maximum number of groups based on the number of representatives in the state (which is of course a function of the total population in the state), and elect theirs, basically let the people self organize and voluntarily associate so they can maximize their representation. I'm sure there are unforeseen consequences to that, like unions dominating many representative groups, or issues local to a small region going unaddressed, but it's interesting to think about and there is an optimal solution to the gerrymandering issue that requires us to change the way we think of a representative constituency.
It would also be pretty interesting to see a modular system where we can run Python scripts as well
Yeah, all the pearl-clutching over Skynet-style doom scenarios seems to be:

1. Product aggrandizement. ("It's so awesome, it might even take over!")

2. Creating a fictional worry/scapegoat so that individuals and consumers aren't on-guard for more-immediate problems caused by human/corporate decisions.

Go find a doctor who will prescribe it off-label.

I was in a similar situation to you. The doctor said it wasn't indicated for me, but I said I wanted it anyway, and the doctor said ok, and it cleared up my existing HPV infections after dose #2.
Why are we having a discussion of ethical concerns around a scientist's successful experiments in treating cancer. I would note that she had multiple previous rounds of cancer, leading to a generally higher risk of chemo resistance. In choosing a different path, she made a valuable contribution to the health and wellness of all of us, which is unequivocally a good thing.
Jake Seliger's problems weren't really "Right-to-try".

The first problem was finding the damn trial in the first place since nobody wants to share information as it might tell their competitors something.

And then he had to pass the prerequisites for the trial. The problem there was navigating the US health system that moves like a glacier and either couldn't get a test run fast enough or wouldn't take a test from somewhere else.

Finally, after all that, then you reached the "Right-to-try" level where there were different questions of whether to subject him to the treatment based upon whether the doctor thought it might or might not be effective.

And through it all, he and his wife understood that the odds were very, very bad.

To me, the counterargument to "Right-to-try" are the Alzheimer's drugs. The underlying Amyloid hypothesis appears to be broken and fraudulent and all the drugs based on it have failed miserably. And, yet, one got through FDA approval because the consumer push is so huge and everybody wants something--even if it doesn't work.

There is big money behind pushing the boundaries--be very careful about eroding them.
Not sure why this is downvoted? Do people not remember how for ~20yr "terrorism" was habitually used as a justification for "because we don't want to" by every government organization from the MTA to small town parks departments.
> especially through sex, kissing, or touching

To what extent can it be transmitted via "touching"? And other mechanisms since it says "especially" implying there might be others.

As a man approaching 40 I've never considered this vaccine because I've only ever been (and ever will be) sexually active in any way with my wife, who has been the same with me. Is there any reason to get the vaccine in my situation? I see a lot of comments here that we all should get it, but if it's just sexually transmitted I don't think there's a reason for me to.
Their pitch is "A Simple Language" as seen on the website.
Why? I mean if we and the characters are unsure what the underlying physics is then the possibilities are literally endless.

I was 32 and single, so I had a lot of freedom to take the risk at that point.

I don't want to say my exact net worth at the time, but I earmarked $400k to last me five years of trying to make it on my own.

$400k was kind of extreme because I assumed I'd maintain the lifestyle I had at Google, including my $4.2k/mo apartment in downtown Manhattan. I ended up moving to Western Massachusetts, where my burn rate was significantly lower and could have been even lower if I rented an apartment instead of buying a house.
I wonder which one was defaulted to or first one in the list. That one will gain 90% of the users’ choice.
Re government cheese...

"The story of “government cheese” started with Jimmy Carter’s campaign promise to support the price of milk (specifically, to support a $0.06/gallon price increase). Consider it a rare campaign promise that happened to be kept, though it wasn’t completely thought through.

"Enforcing a higher price for something commonly either means restricting supply or increasing demand. In this case, supporting the price increase meant that the government had to buy milk en masse. What happens when you buy lots of milk? You discover that it does not keep well. That in turn led to the milk being converted into other forms that last longer: cheese, primarily. The other benefit of cheese being its greater density — producing one pound of cheese requires roughly 10 pounds of milk.

"But then what to do with the cheese? At first, the government just stored the cheese, where it apparently filled most of the large-scale cold storage in the US. (Rough cost for one year of the milk price support program (1981): $2 billion paid to dairy farmers in price support and $120 million in storage.)"

Try it! You might surprise yourself.

EDIT: ah, I see your confusion. A "micrometer" is an aliased term. It means both "a millionth of a meter" and "a tool for measuring very precisely". I used the latter meaning above. Although in terms of order of magnitude precision they're identical--a micrometer accurate to 0.0001" is accurate to 2.54e-6m. It's possible to get within a handful of µm with decent calipers. Easier with a micrometer.
Because HPV vaccination is relatively modern, there's trail where maybe the trial for the vaccine you can get today A, was A vs B, but then the previous B has a trial B v Placebo, or it might go back twice, A v B then B v C and C v placebo. There were placebo trials for the early HPV vaccines decades ago.

I had Hodgkins Lymphoma (many years ago now when I was young) and we've been treating that for so long that the earliest curative treatments pre-date scientific medicine. So the trail dries up - we have no proof that the cures are better than nothing except, you know, circumstantially it sure does seem like the freaks who reject treatment just drop dead and I didn't so...

They're still doing research, as with the HPV vaccines they do A v B trials as a placebo would be unethical - it's basically a death sentence. I actually wasn't selected for a trial comparing Stanford V (a new potential therapy from Stanford) against the current gold standard (which I was getting) ABVD. That was a long time ago, but I think the gold standard today is still ABVD.

> [Not even 2%]

> Abstract: We introduce FrontierMath, a benchmark of hundreds of original, exceptionally challenging mathematics problems crafted and vetted by expert mathematicians. The questions cover most major branches of modern mathematics -- from computationally intensive problems in number theory and real analysis to abstract questions in algebraic geometry and category theory. Solving a typical problem requires multiple hours of effort from a researcher in the relevant branch of mathematics, and for the upper end questions, multiple days. FrontierMath uses new, unpublished problems and automated verification to reliably evaluate models while minimizing risk of data contamination. Current state-of-the-art AI models solve under 2% of problems, revealing a vast gap between AI capabilities and the prowess of the mathematical community. As AI systems advance toward expert-level mathematical abilities, FrontierMath offers a rigorous testbed that quantifies their progress.

This review is pretty dead (hah) on. I’d been trying to crack Grim, off-and-on, basically ever since it came out; each time I was foiled by the clumsy interface and inscrutable game design. It’s not as player hostile as the old Sierra adventures but it sure comes close.

Finally I caved and watched a longplay on YT, and I have no real regrets. Great game, but that’s probably the best way to play it. Life’s too short.
> Forget the wording 'centrist', parent is trying to describe the need for a party that seeks allies from all angles rather than trying to produce outrage towards specific groups of people in a lazy effort to foment in-party support and credit.

Well politics is about making choices where consensus is unattainable. By nature of not being consensual, there will be some angles from which these choices are undesirable. So attracting allies "from all angles" is essentially the same as saying "whoever is not my ally comes from no (reasonable) angle", which is precisely what the democrats are being described as doing in the article. They are the utmost "centrist" party in a way.

The answer to the demonization issue is not to pretend everybody must be your ally, it is to acknowledge that one can reasonably disagree with you, and be willing to engage with your political opponents rather than treat them as enemies, to reach an agreement acceptable to most (though not all).
Especially dystopic when it infers your identity.

I guess "yes" wouldn't be an incorrect answer, but a more nuanced look might want to consider that node does actually contain the js runtime of a browser, just minus all the rest of that browser.

A wasm runtime can be far more lightweight than node, not only because node itself is a wasm runtime, plus a lot of other things. Wasm could (or does, already?) occupy a sweet spot where platform independent extensibility is desired, but where that is not enough of a core feature to make inclusion of a heavier runtime advisable. Kind of like how Lua has its place, but with more focus on near-native speed and less focus on ad-hoc programming (aka scripting).
From an intuitive point of view, if you want to use %CPU as "how much of the total available processing power is this process using", it's potentially valuable. With the status quo, a process might appear to be a few multiples more CPU intensive than it really is, if the system happens to be relatively idle.

That said, it's not particularly easy to apply these corrections, especially because the available maximum clock speed depends on variables like the ambient temperature, how bust all the cores are, and how long the CPU has been boosting for. So if you were to apply these corrections, either you report that a fully loaded system is using less than 100% of possible available CPU power in a lot of cases, or your correction factors vary over time and are difficult to calculate.
