To your points, I agree, but that's why I phrased it as "societally-wide accepted definition of facts". There has always been propaganda and hard pressure against those who went against the status quo.

What I think is different this time is the process on coming to a "generally accepted conclusion". Take the Iraq WMD issue. At the time, the status quo was that Iraq had WMDs, even if there were plenty of people arguing against that - those people may have been "marginalized" as you put it (though not sure I agree - I was one of those people, and while I clearly the tide was against my viewpoint, I still felt we were having a debate over facts), but they were still arguing that there was little evidence for WMDs. But when the facts were cleared up, there was broad agreement "OK, the evidence is now clear, this is what happened".

My point is now that even when the clear picture does finally emerge, you have plenty of people still just willing to repeat the falsehood in the belief that "if you repeat it enough, it becomes 'true' enough to enough people." That's what feels different to me, at least in my lifetime.

Yes, unless you have equal amounts of outside air entering your domicile, a vent leading outside is not effective. A recirculating vent, however, still has a filter.

It's hard to talk about, because when a discussion is successfully censored you usually don't hear about it and presume any discourse on it would have been unreasonable.

I would point towards immigration as a topic where meaningful discourse is missing from social media. On most social media sites, the discussion will be dominated by people who think immigration should rarely if ever be restricted; Twitter has been colonized by some people who take the opposite extreme, often for overtly racist reasons, although this is tempered a bit by Elon Musk's personal support of high skill visas.

The "normie" immigration restrictionist position, that immigrants are great but only so long as they enter the country lawfully, is something I very often see expressed in news interviews or supported by older relatives and rarely if ever see expressed on a social media platform. I don't know how I'd go about proving this is downstream of fact checking, but there's a lot of orgs who argue that it's factually false to characterize, for example, someone who crosses the border without authorization and then applies for asylum as an illegal immigrant.

Show HN: I built AI parser for banking SMS and Apple Pay taps
Hello HN,

I track my budget, but I hate writing down how much I spent daily/weekly/monthly. So I built an AI parser for all of my banking SMS and Apple Pay taps

- GPT 4o-mini generates JSON with amount, merchant name, category, type (purchase, ATM, transfer), etc

- In dashboard, I can view/group/filter/search my expenses

- It also secure - no need to grant access to bank account. Just forward SMS/Apple Pay pushes via native iOS app

- It's free while in "beta"

I plan to add weekly/monthly reports, goals tracking, etc. Do you find it useful?

PS.: I'll be happy to give life-time premium in exchange for valuable feedback

P.P.: my US friends said that SMS notifications are not popular - so I added Apple Pay taps
Congestion charging started in London in 2003. I'm skeptical about the
justification that it's intended to disincentivize unnecessary driving
because people who drive frequently get a bulk discount rather than a
surcharge as one might expect if that were the actual intention. A
bulk discount is more indicative of a policy intended to maximize
revenue. I'm also skeptical about the justification that it's intended
to reduce pollution because the discount for electric cars is ending
this year. I have a moral issue with it as well because the roads are
financed by everyone's taxes. Around the time the charge was starting
it was easy to find supporters for it on tv chat shows but I never met
one in real life. I assume there are some but that they support it in
a naive attempt to keep anyone poorer than them off the road.
Otherwise, the supporter's problem of too much congestion would be
easily solved by not driving. The charge has tripled since its
introduction so maybe there's an element of poetic justice in it for
some of them.
Congrats, you seem to be a co-author of the proposal as well, right?

This is exactly what happened. Case counter chyrons on TV news, the Google tools where you could look it up for your own region, the videos of people collapsing in the street that were broadcast on social media platforms by government accounts -- it was all calculated to inculcate hysterical fear of the virus in order to jumpstart agendas that it enabled.
The cash register issue I think could be papered over by just having the bills be smaller than the existing bills, ie $100s stay the same size and we cut off a bit of the bill for each denomination step downwards. That would keep them fitting in the drawer and be in line with the pattern of other countries who also make larger denominations physically larger.
I'm just saying they tend to be more high trust, which is supported by statistical data.

That has nothing to do with the tax?
Coming to a place with decent and cheap public transport six months ago:
1. It's faster than commuting by car during rush hour, and otherwise 10%-20% longer within the city limits.
2. There's no crazies. I haven't seen so much as someone rocking and muttering, let alone bothering other passengers.
3. Yeah, it's a petri dish--I've been sick enough to miss days of work twice in the last six months, which is more than in the two years before moving here.

I'm not sure how well 1 and 2 could generalize from Germany to America. You'd need Harberger Taxes or liberal use of Eminent Domain to put rail networks into a city. You'd need competent and well-funded law enforcement to curtail the crazies.

#3 we could fix in either area with UVC and filtered air circulation; or I could just get comfortable with being the weirdo wearing an N95 mask every day

I have also commuted by motorcycle for around 30k miles. It does save a lot of money, but it's not much faster than cars if you're strictly following the law in the 49 states where lane splitting isn't fully legal. You also have 90 times the risk of death per mile travelled, compared to a car, which balances the increased disease risk on a train.

Like airports already do, the city could provide rideshare "waiting area" parking lots in different zones. That would retain rapid response to on-demand pickup, without random trolling on city streets as defacto parking lots. Rideshare averages only 50% utilization of taxis, despite having the advantage of automated scheduling.

Instead the city added a per-ride fee, which will be covered by Uber/Lyft, making it useless as an incentive for ride reduction, https://archive.is/MtRgo

> Riding in a taxi, green cab or black car will now cost passengers an extra 75 cents in the congestion zone... The surcharge for an Uber or Lyft will be $1.50 per trip... cars for services like Uber and Lyft make fewer trips and are more likely to idle in the zone. In 2023, taxis made an average of 12 daily trips, while ride-hail vehicles made an average of six.
It doesn't have to, you can just start using a piece of technology 5-10 years after everybody else, you know.

We started using react a couple of years after hooks were introduced when there were millions of ready libraries, all major design patterns were established, tons of docs were written, etc., and although there's still major churn, it's nothing like it was when react first came out.

I looked at svelte when the hype circle started and decided to postpone using it for at least five years — these comments show it was a right decision.

It saves money and time to be conservative with these things.
Vos doesn't matter until it does. I find it surprising to see Vos mentioned as likely unimportant right next to CMRR, as CMRR and Vos are innately related in some circuits.

In particular, any low voltage current sense circuit is going to require very precise Vos. Let's say you have a 0.01 Ohm current-sense resistor on a 5-Amp or so circuit.

Your current-sense is now in the range of +/- 0.05Volts (!!!!). So a Vos of 0.005 would represent a 10% error. Likely too much for most applications.

In effect, CMRR has become hyper-sensitive to Vos in this particular use case, to the point that Vos is suddenly the most important statistic.

Fortunately, there are specially designed low-offset chopper or auto-zeroing OpAmps like MCP6V26 or whatever out there.

MCP6V26 has Vos of 2uV, or in relatable terms... 0.000002 Volts (!!!!). Meaning it is more than sufficient at reliably making this current-sense application. Indeed, you can drop down to 0.0001Ohm resistance and still have high accuracy (and power savings compared to the earlier assumption).

------

Alas, nothing is ever free in life. Chopper Amps have noise issues and other designs have very very low bandwidth (which is truly an important statistic for most circuits).

Choosing a chopper amp specifically is making a Vos tradeoff with Bandwidth. So only choose if you know what you are doing (aka, dealing with very low voltages and needing the precise zero).
Well, look at the source. It’s not surprising.
Going from 2k / 27" to 4k / 27" screens severely reduced my eye strain after a long day of code-staring. Both were IPS panels so I can only attribute it to the incredibly sharp text rendering.

The major thing that's happened to me, is I start doubting every image I see in an ad. If it looks too generic, too plain. If I have a negative perception of the company, I start to think it's an AI image and further entrench my negative opinion of the company.

Maybe it's not rational. Maybe I can't tell the truly good AI images form the cheap slop ones. But that's how I feel, and ultimately a lot of commerce runs off customer feelings. The faker, cheaper, and more soulless we feel a company is being, especially in marketing, the more negative perception we have of them. That's just me though

Figuring out how, and how much, to pay, and then fumbling with cash and change or whatever, during the fairly stressful experience of boarding, is something of a barrier to using transit. So removing the fare payment entirely removes that barrier. But, that's gotten a lot easier with support for paying fares in apps, so I think it's a lot less of an issue now than it was ten years ago. I used to be in favor of free fares, mostly because it'd make using transit less intimidating for newbies. But I'm on the fence now.

Ok: what could the feds do to release tension, concretely? They had no ability to undo any mandates, since 90% of them came from the provinces, not the feds. Likewise, the trucker thing was coming from the US.

I guess they could have maybe done some changes in tone -- but they may also have been seen by the population as giving into what were frankly seen by most as fringe radicals.

And finally, the actual leaders of the convoy would not have been interested. This wasn't their first rodeo. They wanted to bring the govt down, and not because of COVID but because of everything -- they had previously been in Ottawa trying to pull a similar thing around "pipelines" and carbon tax.

It’s been production ready for ages but that’s a nebulous distinction.

Different studios have very different needs for scaling their production. Blenders suitability varies greatly by the project and needs. For example, it’s used on Spiderverse for specific things but cannot scale to do the entire animation production yet.

Your second point about user generated content makes no sense imho. Games don’t use DCC files for runtime. They will have their own runtime formats that are generated during the build. Blender is just an unsuitable or suitable as any other DCC in that regard.
I'm not sure the others aspired to, to quite the same extent.

Convenient that only your debate opponents need provide reproducible studies that meet your standards.
I don't think facts ever contradict each other, it's the stories people create to explain the facts that are at odds. These stories lead people to extrapolate other beliefs which they present as "facts", and it's an organic process of discussion and exposure that changes peoples minds over time.

I personally think aggressive fact checking authorities impedes this process, because people don't change their minds when faced with authoritarian power against which they are powerless, and because they are powerless here, they get angry and they disengage. This ends up which reinforcing their beliefs and now you've lost all chance of change.
