I'm not sure where you're getting that info, but it's wrong. Incandescent are blackbodies and as such have perfect CRI. Their color temperature is different from daylight, but CRI is measured using a source of the same color temperature for reference. A candle also has perfect CRI.

Also, to be clear, I'm not claiming that CRI is the root cause here, rather that it should indicate if there's a spike in the blue.

Enterprise organizations want to be able to watch their employees without them knowing.

Other organizations like law enforcement, are also ambivalent about this.

The easy solution, of course, is a folded business card or piece of tape. But tbh I'm not surprised they didn't implement that approach, and likely deliberately.
Is Nature "scientific" enough?

I generally think that children's access to the internet needs to be more closely monitored. You wouldn't allow your child to walk up to random strangers in the street without you there, why do we allow it online? I have on a few occasions had to protect a child from an adult in an online group.

What concerns me here is how this will be enforced. The only way to implement this is with IDs to check birth dates, and some method to confirm you are the person on the ID. You could imagine this being consolidated into a government ID system to 'protect your data', and to mean you only have to validate once. These accounts will be permanently attached to real people, and I think it will have a chilling effect on free speech. It's all fun and games until the government of the day considers your speech as a threat.

One can see this being expanded too, so that you would need to provide ID to use the internet more generally. ISPs could be told to selectively deliver web pages from DNS based on your ID, which would be most effective on mobile devices and less so on wired networks. My ISP already blocks websites.

I think a more fundamental question is whether the nanny state should be telling you how to raise your children, what content they can consume and who they can interact with. Suddenly you find your children consuming content only from a Z-wing bias because the government of the day hates Y-wing politics.

Do you not see the difference between “my teenager is moody” and “depression”? Using minimizing language here helps no one.

I agree that there should be more formal research into the effects of social media but as a parent I see concern about the effects of social media in conversation with other parents and teachers all the time. It is something we all witness in our own lives to some extent or another.

“We should let this run rampant while we investigate it fully” and “we should block this while we investigate it fully” are both valid viewpoints. And if voters want the latter it only makes sense for the government to be responsive to that.

> I've grown very tired of this “any regulation is bad regulation” viewpoint, it doesn’t hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

This is sneering, where you don't respond to a particular poster's point, but instead attack an unrelated (and even fictional) group of people based on something you don't like, or an attitude that you subjectively perceive to be common. Precisely zero people in this thread have made the claim that "any regulation is bad regulation", and in fact the person you responded to specifically called out drugs and gambling as things that they would be open to regulating.

Sneering is against the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), boring, unenlightening, not intellectually gratifying, and degrades the quality of the site. Please don't do it.
I agree with some of your point but don't find your rationale convincing.

>Nothing in the constitution talks about congress passing [stuff]

Yeah, because the constitution was intended to allow Congress to pass laws that define the rest of "the government". The constitution is not supposed to be the _only_ law.

>It hasn't always been like this. It wasn't envisaged.

The founders knew they couldn't predict the future which is why they set it up so Congress could make laws. Again, the whole thing is working as designed.

Now, you could say that these laws have had unintended consequences, or no longer serve their purpose, or need modification for current times, etc etc. Those would be policy positions, not the sign of some constitutional crisis.

And critically, it would be the role of Congress to correct, not the president. Now, yes, absolutely, voting for president is a way to enforce checks and balances on Congress when they are not responding effectively. However, completely eroding all checks and balances on _Executive_ power in the process, which seems to be happening now, doesn't look like a great move to me.

Considering that she was not hired _just now_, it would be more reasonable if she is criticised on the basis of what she has done there last 3+ years rather than based on vague qualification-based arguments. Though I am also curious as what you think would make good enough qualifications for such a position, because I do not think that very traditional CEO qualifications would work that well here.

It's about the last thing I'd expect to see in Venice so I think it's a pretty good idea.

Venice seemed to me a place that looks more like a massive historical theme park, while still authentic and very much in the right place, it did not strike me as normal that tourists would just find someone going about their day as an Instagram opportunity ("look that Venician is buying bread, how authentic! Let's crowd his house and take pictures!"). It didn't seem to me like a place where one is supposed to live, just supposed to go and see. A historical zoo would be a more outrageous way to put it. What can I say, I was probably part of the problem.

So I think it's a good thing any idea that makes these touristy places look like cities where people actually live, people with different interests other than what you'd expect. Just not sure if it's a profitable idea (are Italians very into Jazz?).
If you are applying for a job in the front office of an NBA franchise, and I ask you "which team did Michael Jordan play for?", answering with "this is a useless trivia question, it is beneath me, I can easily google it, how does it matter?" will mean you are not going any further in the interview. You can then complain about it online all you want, but that's how it is.

Similarly, if I ask you "write a program in your language of choice that prints all even numbers from 1 to 100", you can either cry about it or take the 3 minutes and actually do it. If you can't, it's a pretty clear signal that you don't actually write code in your day job and aren't suited for this one.

> What if Bluesky were to set up a hotline which the federal government can call to have any post censored, and makes it known to government actors that it will act promptly if they want anything removed?

> Would that be legal for Bluesky, assuming no coercion from any government actors?

Under your assumption of no coercion, yes, it would generally be within Bluesky's First Amendment right of association (by which I mean, association to the content, not to the government) for Bluesky to voluntarily remove content from its servers (or refuse to relay content from other servers) brought to its notice by the federal government for no compensation.

There are other ways for governments to meddle that would make specific instances of "call to have any post censored" unconstitutional. If a government official were to secretly pay or otherwise compensate Bluesky for removing posts, then the benefit to the government official of having the posts removed would violate the Emoluments Clause if the official is a member of Congress, might violate a corruption law, and might violate the oath of office if there was one (but I don't know an oath of office has any legal weight). Also, in practice, such a secret payment scheme would create a power imbalance favoring the government official in a way that would make achieving "no coercion" very difficult if not impossible.

I felt she became CEO of Bluesky out of nowhere, but that's not true. She seems to be heavilly involved in the space with her app "Happening" and that got her a seat at the table with Jack Dorsey and landed her in her current role.

So the way that this worked is that Jack tweeted that, and they created a Bluesky Twitter account at the end of 2019. I got really excited. I was currently working on a social app of my own that was an alternative to Facebook Events called Happening, and I’d been building on decentralized social protocols, playing around with them, doing a lot of research, published a lot of research on it.
That one definitely fits definition perfectly. Still can't forget that idea, brr. Scary.

I often find the voice acting to be interminably slow and distracting and immersion breaking somehow. You are just waiting for the voice actor to slowly emote it all.

IMO this is a sign that you don’t need to use your phone as much.

EDIT: My response to your question was really flippant. Sorry. I hate how phones have become consumption powerhouses that eat into peoples’ lives instead of the ultra-powerful tools that supplement them, and your question triggered that nerve (though you didn’t mean to!).

There are lots of useful things you can do with your phone that don’t encourage consumption above all else.

One of those things is learning a new language.

I’ve been using Babbel and Duolingo to learn French. While they don’t replace language classes (though Babbel Live looks really compelling), they are excellent supplements and practice tools.

I recommend Duolingo with a huge caveat: the app is extremely gamified, complete with micro transactions (gems to protect strike freezes, extra hearts since you only get five and every mistake you make costs one), side quests and boosts (you’ll see ads to upgrade to Super Duolingo after every “lesson” and occasional ads for Duolingo Max, the AI-assistance tier). The website version has none of those. I only use the website version.
> In your 5 sample example, you can't determine if there are any outliers. You need more samples

I think the same issue is present no matter how many samples we collect. Statistical apparatus of choice may indeed tell us that given sample is an outlier in our experiment setup but what I am wondering is what if the sample was an actual signal that we measured and not noise.

Concrete example: in 10/100 test-runs you see a regression of 10%. The rest of the test-runs show 3%. You can 10x or 100x that example if you wish. Are those 10% regressions the outliers because "the environment was noisy" or did our code really run slower for whatever conditions/reasons in those experiments?

> Then using fairly standard nonparametric measures of dispersion and central tendency, a summary statistic should make sense, due to CLT.

In theory yes, and for sufficiently large N (samples). Sometimes you cannot afford to reach this "sufficiently large N" condition.

You've written that the wrong way around. You've written the opposite of what Cloudflare writes.

They write that transit bandwith costs are similar in Europe and the USA, but Europe has more peering — it's around 50% of their traffic rather than 20%.

> The corollary is that in Europe transit is also cheap but peering is very easy, making the effective price of bandwidth in the region the lowest in the world.
Yes, absolutely, but it is every person's choice to become, should they (and their culture) wish.

It also damages our perceptual clarity. When Jesus said to "Love your enemies", there is a very pragmatic aspect to this beyond just trying to show them a better way. We can only see a person clearly if we love them; otherwise, we will see them through the lens of our prejudices, enmities, greed, ... whatever.

Selfless love also does not mean letting the Nazis of the world steamroll you and then proceed to dominate the next underpriviledged group. No, compassion demands that we protect the innocent, including ourselves. First, however, we must self-evolve ourselves back towards innocence by embracing universal -- but carefully watchful -- compassion.

It's a tricky business, being human :-)

And what did you do to get banned? Be specific
It is obvious to me, nobody would want to represent 35 levels of nesting by indentation. So I would represent the first few (2-4) levels in RX, and the rest
by other means, such as brackets. Your language should be designed such that the cutoff is up to you, the writer of the code, and really just a matter of syntax, not semantics.

Obviously, I (usually) would not want to write things like

+
*
a
b
*
c
d

but rather

+
a * b
c * d

or, even better of course,

(a * b) + (c * d)

I think of blocks more as representing high-level structure, while brackets are there for low-level and fine-grained structure. As the border between these can be fluid, where you choose the cutoff will depend on the situation and also be fluid.

You don't need qualifications to become the CEO of a brand new company, which is what BlueSky basically was when she got the job. It doesn't matter how she got it at that early stage.

Seeing that company grow, and remaining CEO through that transition (and beyond) on the other hand isn't for everyone. I'm not a user or a customer, but from all the publicity and excitement, it looks like she's doing a pretty good job so far.
I like this idea. I've been playing with the idea of having all my blog entries have corresponding narration with my own voice but I'd love to see some kind of voice cloner + gradio interface that let's me make some adjustments to things like cadence, delivery, etc. (I mean beyond just making me sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks).

Rising up violently to protect my child's right to scroll mindless on TikTok for hours? No. Social media today is unrecognisable to the internet that you, or I grew up with.

Children will always network, and share ideas and form community. They don't need to do it on a platform designed to exploit as much of their attention as possible as a way to sell advertisements.

I think children should be able to congregate safely online. If you think a meta-owned platform is a good place to do that, I've got bad news for you.

I think a lot of my generation owes a lot to the internet during our formative years too, but the idea that Meta offers anything other than a curated stream of addictive ragebait nowadays is for the birds. Maybe this ban will encourage teenagers to hang out in less corporately owned spaces online. I can hope.

An outright ban probably won't work, but it sends a signal that perhaps society needs to use the internet better to be a benefit.

No ulterior motive? I really don't know about that.

They're better than most, because they generally tell the truth - a shockingly low bar - but it's a specific type of truth, as seen from a specific and very narrow window, from a deliberate vantage point.

Always viewing the world from that specific window belies a motive, conscious or not, to maintain a highly destructive status quo. They are not seeing the forest for the trees, while writing factual and detailed reports on the least consequential tree bark facts.

Which is fine, if tree bark facts are your bag, I guess - but I'm more concerned about the rapidly deteriorating forest.
