Are athletes are working themselves to injury for the sake of improving the lives of the people around them? I do not see this. Athletes are competing for themselves: for fame, money and to feed their egos.

I do not see the virtue in athletics given that being an entertainer, and being powerful and fit are intrinsically rewarding enough. I'd much rather we were funding musicians and artists, but only a fraction of funding goes to these in comparison to the behemoth that is sports.

Ask HN: How to correctly search for jobs on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn appears to be the premier site for connecting job-seekers with job openings, teeming with recruiters and detailed job postings. Therefore I puzzle over why it is so difficult to actually perform job searches there.

Entering some job title or technology into the search field yields thousands of non-specific results, most of which are labeled "promoted."

Entering a term surrounded by quotes finds only jobs with that specific term in the job title.

Say I wanted to find a product management job that oversees telephony products. Entering "product manager" and "telephony" produces nothing. Removing the quotes from "telephony" brings up every product manager job in the platform. How does this work?
This feels like an easy way to stay accountable for what I'm consuming and to leave a record of my personal growth over time. I never considered link blogging as its own category, but now that you've put a name on it I really wanna try it out.

You’re lying to yourself kid. They’re doing what they’re doing because it works. You don’t like it because you’re not getting any. You say “corrupt” and yet you’re the one confused.

There is no once and for all solution for anything. Here’s the secret: the whole universe is falling apart and the only thing keeping anything together is someone/something paying for it.

Not who you are replying to, but more radio transmission and typically less reliability (you’re either using 2x the channels, or multiplexing on the same channel).

I used to agree with you, but a pure text web looks like Gemini, which I abandoned after a few days of getting lost in endless identical looking blogs.

There is no reason that websites shouldn't have room for some creative expression. For as long as writing has existed, images, fonts, spacing, embellishment, borders, and generally every imaginable axis has been used as additional expression, beyond the literal meaning of the text.

The body width is necessary because web browsers have long since abandoned any pretense of developing html for the average joe. It is normal to use web browsers maximized, so without limiting the body width the text is ridiculously long and uncomfortable to read.

I hope he does well. On the flip side I cannot help but feel this is one of the greatest times to be a media consumer. I definitely look back and have nostalgia for going to Blockbuster on a Friday to pick out some tapes to watch but it may just be mostly the nostalgia of it all. We have easy access to almost any movie/show you want to watch, this includes lots of media that is outside of the country you live in. It is far from perfect and while there is a minority that prefers to own the disc, I suspect the vast majority of consumers prefer renting or buying digital.

Maybe you know nothing about formalwear but somebody sells you a suit you really feel good in.

When typing in Japanese I tend to type "tu" instead of "tsu" or "si" instead of "shi" because the end result is the same (つ/し) and I save a keystroke, I assume most people who regularly input Japanese with a QWERTY keyboard do the same. The revised romanizaton from the article prefers "tsu" and "shi" though.

What you suggest could be accomplished with mesh networking. GP is correct in saying the reasons are orthogonal to functional reasons. Phone systems have always been centralised like this. Billing is one aspect, but lawful surveillance is another.
> reference to the prevalent argument that training AI on data, and then offering it via AI is being a parasite on that original data

Prevalent or not, phrased this way it's clear how nonsense it is. The data isn't hurt or destroyed in the process of being trained on, nor does the process deprive the data owners from their data or opportunity to monetize it the way they ordinarily would.

The right terms here are "learning from", "taking inspiration from", not "being a parasite".

(Now, feeling entitled to rent because someone invented something useful and your work accidentally turned out to be useful, infinitesimally, in making it happen - now that is wanting to be a parasite on society.)

Not quite, the ST floppies were DD (double density). One problem that could occur is that low-end ST configurations - especially the 260ST - were delivered with a single sided floppy drive (SF354, 1 side, 80 tracks, 9 sectors of 512 byte per track, giving 360 kB) instead of a double-sided drive (SF314 with 720 kB).

PC HD floppy drives also have 80 tracks per side, but use twice the data rate (storing 18 sectors of 512 byte each per track) and thus require floppy disks with a different magnetic coating that can handle the higher frequencies. This can also cause problems with data retention and reliability when using 1.44 MB HD disks in DD drives for the ST.

One problem with floppies formatted with early TOS releases (1.0 and 1.02) was that these used a Media Description Byte (offset 0x15) in the boot sector which confuses DOS/Windows system even though the file system format used is FAT12 or FAT16. This was fixed in TOS 1.04.

I don't understand why debates like this crop up. The premise of Turing's paper is plainly stated - that asking questions about an "Imitation Game" is more useful than asking whether machines can think.

That's all! He doesn't make any claim that the the game must be administered a particular way. In fact he spends only a few casual sentences glossing over how it would operate, and he's clearly just conveying the idea in broad strokes, not trying to describe an experimental procedure. And he says nothing at all about how the results might be judged, let alone thresholds for anything.

The paper is about what sorts of questions we should examine, not about specifically how they should be examined. So it seems weird to consider a test "bastardized" just because it doesn't match how you interpret Turing's casual description.

> Just be smart about your diet

The original question was about a "meal that provides all the essential nutrients the average person needs to stay healthy over the long term"

The simplest, easiest, and the most correct answer is "just eat animals".

Of course, one can be "smart" about their diet, spend a lot of time on carefully balancing vegetables, fruit, grains and tofu, while also making sure to consume proper blend of vitamin and mineral pills and doing regular blood tests. BUT that's far from a "single meal", far from "easy" and "simple", and consumes a lot of time and mental capacity which many humans might not have a luxury to allocate in order to be fellows with farm animals, I think.
I quite enjoyed my experience at VW! It was (and probably still is) a wonderful place to work. I have frankly never been more productive in my career. My team (and I got the impression that this was also the case for most teams) was very hands-off, just let people work. The employees are grown ups, so if they need to collaborate they can do so in an ad-hoc fashion instead of forcing them to do agile rituals. For most of my time there, I had exactly one scheduled meeting a week, you could call it weekly stand-up, and a lot of ad-hoc collaboration with my teammates.

For people like me, who don't need and frankly chafe against the added structure of most agile methodologies, VW was amazing. I could just put on my headphones and code, and that's pretty much all I ever wanted. I ended up leaving because as much as I loved the workplace, I have pretty much 0 interest in the actual product. CAD is cool, and I like working on professional tools, but I have no interest whatsoever in architecture and design. I still wonder, though, if leaving VW was a mistake. If I ever find myself living in the DC metro, I will certainly reapply.
I mostly use eBay for buying computer and bike parts - e.g. my most recent purchase on my work (tax-exempt) account was a batch of a specific model of 40Gbit NIC, and a specific type of bike seat post on my personal account.

The eBay search function isn't great, but it's vastly better than Amazon, where search results are polluted by large numbers of garbage sponsored results - this may be related to its success in these niches. (although in my case it's partly because I can avoid paying for Amazon Prime, and still choose things based on prices that include shipping)
The difference is that you pulling out a model is you potentially violating copyright, while the model itself being trained on copyrighted models is potentially them violating copyrights.

I.e. the first one concerns you, the other is none of your business.

Show HN: Timeconvert.org – Simplest Timestamp Converter
I've spent way too much time googling "convert timestamp" or something similar and then going through the motion of clicking all the popups and cookie banners (thanks EU) to not built this. Or going through horrible ux of figuring out where to paste my timestamp so the converter will figure it out. This is as simple as it gets - one textbox and go, same as google when it started.

I built it primarily for me, but I'm sure i'm not the only one that finds it useful.

If you have suggestions to add any other formats lmk.
Incorrect. Pointing out that someone badly broke the site rules in addition to displaying intellectually dishonest behavior in general is objectively better than actually saying those things. There is no world in which it's worse to point out this kind of bad behavior than to commit it.

The idea that it's more productive to silently downvote is also incorrect. You can't change your behavior if you don't know what you did wrong, and pointing out exactly why someone's behavior is egregious allows others who have their heads straight to downvote that person too.
I have been thinking about this issue a lot as it is part of my job.
My conclusion is that we "won" the battle against disease and poor hygiene and infant mortality and, in general, a lot more people survive to experience the humiliations of old age. But the upside is that we used to experience the humilitation of dying in infancy, of a preventable accident, cholera, or some other problem that we now avoid so that we grow so old our bowels obstruct, we develop an untreatable cancer, or our heart gets tired and stops working well, and our bodies are full of pain, arthritis, we get lonely because our friends died, and people value us less because we have less human capital in our old age.

It is simply a trade off. Would you rather die young?

As we experience a societal transition to having a ton of old humans, we have a political system where human numbers matter, so the old can vote themselves more money and social benefits, which harms the prospects of the young at a time when family formation and childbearing is already hard and expensive. This is probably one of the most difficult social problems of our time. We do not have enough money or manpower to take care of all these old people, the robots are not good enough to do it for us yet, and yet the same old people can vote in a way that will suppress young human fertility so there are even fewer new humans to help out.

Ultimately I am hopeful because the human population will course correct and right size itself, the young growing up now will see their grandparents and great grandparents lonely and ignored in nursing homes and other human storage facilities and know that if they want someone to care for them they will have to have kids (or build the robots) to do it in their old age.

Every problem we solve as a species will simply lead us to another problem. If the biohackers and longevity gurus are right...and we can live to 200...well what does this mean for our lives if our healthspan (time where we are pain free and relatively able and attractive) is maybe 100 years? Will we be treating 40 year olds as children?

Some of our oldest recorded wisdom, like the Epic Of Gilgamesh, was written so that we would understand that old age and death are inevitable, but it was better to live in happiness rather than despair. This smacks of truth.
>And then customers complain that the driver is frequently crashing and the team is well aware but won’t fix the ticket because it doesn’t help them meet OKRs.

You highlight the danger of goal setting - where the goal becomes an end onto itself. I disagree with your adjustment however. It's too vague as written, and if you attach KRs to it, you'll end up where you started (with a KR like 'improve fps performance of game X by 25%')

Ideally, you fix the issue, but you track it as having impact on achieving the OKR. Achieving OKRs should not be seen as a "be-all and end-all" ... Failing an OKR should be seen as a opportunity for improvement. If the corporation sets a goal of improving game FPS performance but is unable to meet it because of technical debt, that is good information that needs to be managed.

+1 for LunchMoney. Happy paying customer. I remember trying it when it first launched and it wasn't for me at the time. Now, with kids and a home, and lots of money being spent on various things across multiple accounts, it's very useful to just get labels on all the transactions in one place.

Ask HN: Why does HN like my tool more than other places, and how do I market it?
I've been working on https://nuenki.app, a language learning browser extension that translates sentences at your knowledge level into your target language.

I've been fairly unsuccessful at marketing. My Reddit posts have done poorly, and Reddit, Google, and Twitter ads have all been totally ineffective.

However, I had a pretty successful product hunt launch (that I squandered by not having a trial at the time), and I've been surprised by how positive the response has been when I've shared it on HN. I've had feedback, signups, and most of my paying users from a few comments I made on relevant posts.

It's pretty interesting, particularly because this isn't a language learning community.

1. What is it about the HN / PH demographic that makes things different? Do I present Nuenki in a way that works best with other programmers?

2. How can I scale this to other places, rather than the occasional HN thread?
