It's hard to convince people of this if they haven't developed the skill in any context. I was pleasantly surprised to see @brushfoot's comment and reply at the top when I started reading. I didn't realize I suffered from anxiety until a diagnosis in my mid-30s.

I first developed coping skills for work situations in my first internship. Thanks to a great manager who recognized some of my issues and was able to give contextual help. After that my professional life was better, but I struggled in social and academic contexts. Eventually, I started to get the social/relationship part down but only by being forced to because I moved to another country for a job.

Without these events, I'm not sure I'd have developed these skills. I still struggle and eventually pursued medication. I suspect some people have an undiagnosed condition, but the majority have limits to their emotional development, challenges from their upbringing, etc. that are very individual to resolve.

Unless there is some forcing function, I think the majority of individuals will fall into paths which don't help them. Then it's even harder to get onto a path where it's /just/ a matter of "developing skills".

But they apparently didn't fly on Thanksgiving, which is an interesting coincidence if true.
Hmm yea I appreciate the insight. I was looking at the Nomad 3 as a good price point for me to do some of the size projects I'm thinking of and getting my feet wet but this makes for one of the more expensive investments in the shop so I'd like it to be somewhat reliable. I don't see myself sticking with that machine if I received any kind of volume work like it sounds you receive. Would be interested to see where you settle for the upgrade when that happens!
Maybe that is why they are only being tested in the Coastal states.
Thanks - we're aware! There's also a concept of a general American accent. Since the app is for non-native English speakers, a general American accent is the goal more so than a regional accent.

I'm sure there are people already working on making that happen so they can get a cut of the donations.
Boosting GLP-1 by Natural Products
It's fine to downvote me. I do contribute $50 a month to an open source repo that I use commercially, so I'm not opposed to giving money to OSS projects.

Dioxus is a private company though. It is fine if people want to contribute, or if Dioxus wants investors. But isn't it a little weird trying to influence me/someone to donate to a private company to improve their _product_?

They are YC: they should raise more funds and get serious IMO. Hire more people, fix the broken stuff in the DX and more people will use the product. It's that simple.

Also if you want people to contribute money I would work on getting the product to a more usable state. People don't want to buy products that don't work, software or not. If the first experience is repeatedly one of not working software, people will not want to use it.
You can even build a Great Firewall. You can ban encryption, and mandate that the house walls must be made transparent to ensure no criminal activities could hide within.

The question is whether the societal cost of that is worth the societal benefits.

I would add - just make yourself more interesting. No faking, no lies, just a bit of good old hard work.

Could be anynthing - get more fit by taking up sports or gym. Men are more attracted to fit women, why would an opposite direction be different. Each of us can be a better version of ourselves. With improvements comes better confidence, again a thing the opposite notices.

Then it will start working on its own. Help it by exposing yourselves more to the opposite sex ie in some social events related to your strengths to speed things up.

This trajectory will change people for the better. Its really that simple (and complex)
I run into issues where the password manager doesn’t update. And I also now have 4 managers (lastpass; chrome; edge; icloud keys) because of multiple platforms over the years.
The military theory doesn't fit to me on the grounds that at this point they should be just admitting it. They're calling more attention to the drones than they would if they would just say "yup, those are ours". You don't hide things by parading them around in front of people. They've got all sorts of places to secretly fly things and all the permits they need to create whatever RF environment they want in the process.

The military has had all sorts of secret aircraft over the years and they never test them by loitering around civilian areas for weeks at a time making damned sure thousands of people can get photographs and turn it into a national story. There's plenty of things like photos of the stealth aircraft that people accidentally caught and didn't realize what they were until years later when the relevant aircraft become public knowledge, but those were generally obtained despite the precautions taken, not because they were cruising around in major cities in broad daylight.

The fact that this is still one of the best theories I've got despite everything I just said is a sign of how weird this situation is.
Nice, thanks! I'll go that route next time.
Editing Wikipedia is not the same as developing software, and they're different enough for the distinction to matter. Wikipedia is not Nupedia, and the comparison in this comment between Wikipedia and open source software maintenance is simply flawed from the start.

Wikipedia explicitly does not have owners.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ownership_of_content>

The statement that "one must earn the right to discuss" alone has the minor problem that it is totally antithetical to the actual policies and guidelines that Wikipedia aims to adhere to.

Correct. Source: I do low-energy mesh networks. There are loads of tradeoffs, and a lot of it just has to do with the physical medium.

Sure, you could go with an off-the-shelf solution, but those aren't always a good fit for whatever product you're developing. If you can squeeze your bandwidth requirements to an absolute minimum, say, tens of kilobits, you can accomplish absolutely nutty stuff with a cheap LoRa radio and a well-designed antenna. Sure, it's tens of kilobits, but it's tens of kilobits sent and received over a mile between devices with batteries the size of your pinky.
> I would have thought the advice here would be use passkeys everywhere you can and avoid Totp altogether (particularly the sms variant which has real risks today).

Why would you avoid TOTP altogether? Yes, SMS OTP is insecure because SMS is insecure, but OTP itself is fine, unless I missed something?

> ...one shared quality of every single person I've met who has stuck around Wikipedia for a long time is ... they put a low value on their own time. ... Who are they? ... I think common professions are software and computer engineering.

Especially with the meme equating Wikipedia with "knowledge," it's worth highlighting that Wikipedia invariably reflects the biases of the people who write it, and they're weird people with weird personality traits.

> All of which leads to my larger question, which is — is the writing and editing process working?

> AR: I mean, the answer is no. There are people who just kind of wait for their opponent to get carpal tunnel — and that's not productive for anyone. I would call those sorts of debates tendentious. You're not trying to find consensus....

> AR: If you're putting anything out into the world, please do not cite Wikipedia! Do not do that. I don't trust it. Ever. That's why you check all the sources. Ideally, every single thing, every single piece of information besides, like, “the sky is blue”-type stuff should be tied to a source. I would say, just cite those because people interpret things weirdly sometimes, and you never know.

Wikipedia is a great outlet for propaganda, even if it's mostly pushed by opinionated people who "put a low value on their own time."

And it's naive to thing it's this fair adversarial thing where all the sides fight and the truth pops out. There's a meta-game where one side (usually the one that's more in tune with the Wikipedia's general baises) uses the rules to get the other side excluded or otherwise boxed out.

> Back in the day, there were five — call them guidelines, decrees, commandments — sent down from on high from the less good co-founder, Larry Sanger. And the last one was: “Ignore all rules.” And ha! That's still there.

I never understood this complaint outside of pure snark.

Over the years I've noticed many games have pretty bad tendencies, simply because they've floated to the top through what essentially amounts to luck (also modern games have "balance changes" that often push novelty + profit over actual fun). However, most bestselling games always have that one core part that's pure beauty, and that's what people keep coming back to.

If you don't like opening theory, that's fine. There's plenty about chess to be enjoyed outside of memorizing theory.

I play chess tactics or alt gamemodes exclusively because of this. Not planning to be a chess professional. But the creativity is vast in this space.

If we want to make better games, first start by breaking down the core parts that are good and the core parts that are bad, then iterating on it, just like how many disciplines (both scientific and artistic) operate.

> This story really highlights, to me, the poor job which humans do of documenting modern mathematics. There appear to be so many things which are “known to the experts” but not correctly documented. The experts are in agreement that the important ideas are robust enough to withstand knocks like this, but the details of what is actually going on might not actually be where you expect them to be. For me, this is just one of many reasons why humans might want to consider getting mathematics written down properly, i.e. in a formal system, where the chances of error are orders of magnitude smaller. However most mathematicians are not formalists, and for those people I need to justify my work in a different way. For those mathematicians, I argue that teaching machines our arguments is a crucial step towards getting machines to do it themselves. Until then, we seemed to be doomed to fix up human errors manually.

It makes me think about how you get UI/UX/web designers who make (informal, imprecise) mockups and prototypes of their design ideas and interaction flows, they then hand these off to a developer to do the coding (formalise it, explain it precisely to the machine), and on the way the developer will inevitably find problems/holes in the designs (like an interaction scenario or code path not considered in the design, which could uncover a major design flaw), which the developer and/or the designer will have to patch somehow.

As in, design and development are different roles and require different mindsets, and most designers have a very strong resistance against working and thinking like a developer.
Exactly, putting (meaningful) characters instead of dots got really going when copy machines made some dots disappear after more than one "copy of a copy" was made.

Then when fax machines came along sometimes dots would disappear or be unclear on a single transmission.

Either way, occasionally sometimes the page would also be scattered with random dots too because of degraded photosensitive operation, or audio-frequency noise on the telephone line at the time.

And it got even more uncertain when text that is not fixed-width got within mainstream reach :\

Hi, founder here! We're a YC-funded education app with over 1 million downloads, currently #7 on the Education chart of the App Store. The goal of the accent oracle tool is to help more non-native English speakers find out about BoldVoice. While it's important as consumers to be aware of data privacy with AI tools in general, I want to set the record straight that that's not the point of what we're doing here.
But great to hear that we got your accent right :)

Show HN: Right click to turn files or folders into download links
The NoUSB.co desktop client lets you turn any file(s) or folder on your PC into a direct download link with a simple right-click. No third-party storage, no p2p IP leak; just a relay that streams your files directly to your peers. When you stop sharing, the link stops working, leaving nothing stored on external servers.
Mostly exists because it felt weirder and weirder to store private files on Dropbox/Google Drive/whatnot just to share them. And because some professions need this.

> FBI says they're rotary and fixed-wing drones, White House says they aren't foreign adversaries, Pentagon says they aren't USA military

Do you have sources for these? Not challenging the assertions, but all I see in the news articles is vague un-attributed paraphrasing of statements. For example you say that the "FBI says they're rotary and fixed-wing drones"; the latest I saw from the FBI was what this article said; that they had lots of reports of sightings but no further information.

The pictures I've seen all look like blurry pictures of helicopters; also occasionally blurry "orbs". Does nobody have access to anything better than this? Is this even a real thing?

Yup, that's the general feeling among the colonists that were revolutionary.
Most of the colonists felt they were not being treated like British citizens, and they resented the inequity. Taxation was not the issue: it was the lack of political participation they could have.

Also, they did not see it as a violation of their "economic freedom," as that concept was not really around in the 1700s. They objected to the violation of the British constitution, which meant their rights as British subjects were violated. Taxes were fine by them, as long as they had a voice in Parliament, which they did not have.
I don't usually use VPN on my personal computer, but my home-network pihole is always in a VPN (to denmark currently). I even put some firewall rules to block my pihole from sending traffic to any other network interface besides the VPN interface. So if the VPN goes down my DNS goes down for the whole household, but doesn't affect things like voice chats and active streaming.

Just an idea for french network geeks who don't want to be behind a VPN 24/7

The piece is not about economies, it's about tech dominance. I agree that he market cap of various companies and the actual earnings they produce are quite different and highly variable. And it's really about productivity of making money, not the useful activity that money would be made from.

But market cap does correlate with concentration of revenue. Some of those companies generate fantastic amounts of profit, and their tech is more widely used than the tech of others. If you don't search with Google or Bing, you might use DuckDuckGo. Any other choices worth mentioning? Computers and their cell-phone forms are an essential infrastructure now. Apple or Microsoft software is essential for people computers, Apple or Google software for phones. And so on. Yes the cash advantages can yield other business advantages like monopolization, and vice versa. Yet all enabled by geographical quirk.

He's not exploring in detail the long tail of related high tech. Remove the dominance of "productivity", the dominance of the tech remains.

Not everything in India is/have to be about an individual's caste at all.

The most plausible and likely explanation is that it is just shortened initials of surname for convenience.

Typically indian teachers have a habit of turning surname to initials to deal with multiple students having same names. Those names tend to be sticky and students just refer themselves with initials in such contexts.

I'd be very much surprised if his official government IDs have initials and not surname.
