The article says otherwise:

> even at depths where the energy supply is orders of magnitude lower than enjoyed by organisms in habitats that see the sun

> Something unexpected that caught Ruff’s attention was how total diversity went up with depth. This was surprising because less energy is available at deeper levels of the subsurface. For archaea, diversity went up with the increase in depth in terrestrial environments but not marine environments. The same happened with bacteria, except in marine instead of terrestrial environments.
From the essay: "Consumers have emphatically rejected brands that ventured too far into wokeness. The Bud Light brand may have been permanently damaged by it."

What Bud Light did was hire an influencer to promote their product in an Instagram video (and then of course they later backtracked). The only thing "woke" about the video was that the influencer was a trans woman.

If Paul Graham would like to elaborate on this passage meant I welcome it, but my read was that supporting a trans woman falls under his definition of "wokeness".
And even from the last week being quite selective: omitting for example, the ending of a terrible war that killed 50k+ civilians with a negotiated ceasefire.
An E-3 requires a job offer but with a job offer, the E-3 is much faster, easier, and cheaper than a marriage-based green card application. After you are here, if you decide that you'd like to make your permanent home here, you can apply for a green card even if you are in E-3 status. That just shouldn't be your intent now when applying for an E-3 visa.
The later Infocom games — I’m thinking especially Moriarty’s evocative Wishbringer, Trinity, Beyond Zork — have much improved writing in general; it might be interesting to see what an LLM actually does with those.
It’s not really a left- right issue, as far as I’m concerned. It’s people with empathy v those without.
> People broadly conform to the society in which they live, and the rules of the society are broadly set by the laws they adhere to

Well this can work very differently from what you imagine I believe. Like late Soviet Union where certain things were said in public and other things were said in private or in "trusted environments". For years and years... From what I hear this is in part what goes on in large multinationals where the pressure to conform is quite tangible.

If you’re a fan of the genre, Zork I is worth playing through (with hints if necessary) precisely because it’s an example (the example?) of the early explorations of the art — back when it was about, “Hmm, what we should make the game do if someone tries to break the mirror?” and then implementing a response.

It wasn’t so much about finishing the game, it was about exploring the playground.

It's not, because there's a difference between 'extremist individuals in a side' and 'a side as monolith.'

It is currently en vogue to use the excesses of specific instances or individuals to tar entire identities, but that's statistically dishonest.

Most people are not extremists, in the sense of 'if you talk to them at 1:13pm on a random Tuesday.'
Quick note that "the counter" may not exist or be hard/time consuming to track down and then there may be language barriers and also identity proof requirements that you can't meet. So service that's available and working as soon as your boots hit the ground do have some value.
> Here in the UK, natural gas is used to provide electricity[1], so switching to a heat pump right now isn't likely to help with the environment

Efficiency of a typical combi boiler is 90%. The notional efficiency of a heat pump in UK climate will be around 300-400% (or rather 3-4 COP). Even accounting for transmission losses etc. a heat pump powered from gas turbines is better for the environment than a combi boiler.

And that's assuming the grid doesn't become more green over time. It's not exactly uncommon for cold snaps to be windy too, so it could be 80% renewables. Put it this way, a gas boiler is never going to become more green, a heat pump is going to become more green over it's lifespan (especially in the UK which has very aggressive grid decarbonisation plans).
Thank you. Sorry, I had a look but I didn't find the code (it's not in the github repo for the rest of the system I made, and I no longer own the laptop I wrote it on so it's my bad).

Someone has posted something similar, but it was literally just about 10 lines of python that read the right key in the dictionary and then posted that to a flask web page that another part of the system read to know what track was being played. I'm not a great programmer and it took me maybe 15 minutes to do, so it should be easy enough!
Going from parinfer to editing without parinfer is kind of like going from vim to an editor without vim bindings. In other languages I find myself instinctively moving or editing text around expecting the brackets to magically rearrange themselves, only to be disappointed when they don't.
I see your point, but those regulations are also given with full justifications, backed up by research etc.

And maybe the fact that an email inbox feels like it's "yours" more than anything else does. It's especially true for technical folks who know how to move our email addresses from one host to another, but even for non-technical folks, the inbox is just the inbox – it doesn't change a lot, if ever.
I'm not an expert on this by any means but I don't think so. The original paper suggests bounds on the number of "lies" and the original context (described in the abstract) is a question/answer game. It is likely posed within a very constrained framework.

Fundamentally there is no way to extract knowledge about objective reality from a corpus of contradictory text of unknown quality. The contradictions can yield clues if you are willing to make assumptions. But even statements backed by unanimous agreement can be 100% false.
It became so socially unacceptable that its proponents won the US presidency and took control of Congress and globally famous business leaders are bending the knee to them without repercussion? What definition of "can absolutely" are you using?
I think it's pretty clear Hunter Biden has been sleazily profiting from the position of his father.

What's missing is Joe Biden's involvement.

If your politics are against Joe Biden, I guess you can just kind of imagine that he must have participated.

IMO, we should find corruption in politicians flat unacceptable, even if -- especially if -- they are on our own "side".

You may want to become concerned when the president can unilaterally contravene laws passed by congress and validated by the Supreme Court.
Show HN: Morse Man – Learn Morse Code While Playing Hangman
I built a Hangman variant that teaches you Morse code while you play. Instead of typing letters directly, you enter them using dots and dashes. Features include:

- Interactive Morse code input with visual feedback
- Built-in cheatsheet (costs an attempt)
- 100+ word dictionary
- Animated hangman visualization

Play it here: https://morseman.vercel.app

Perfect for anyone interested in learning Morse code through gameplay. Would love feedback from the HN community!

Oof, that's a lot of assumption.
Strangely enough we had the exact same story with gimp.
I haven't finished it as it's long. Seems OK. But is it much better than the wikipedia one?

Interesting photos of artefacts. But no maps at all. Two or three maps would make it much more informative.
I appreciate this post, and that HN clearly isn't moderating it in a way outside of their stated policies.

It is really hard to see the backpedaling of big tech with regards to identity politics as something other than virtue conformance. The sad and natural question that gets drawn is, where does the real virtue start and the performance begin?
That's mostly a knee-jerk ignorant position since it's oftentimes very easy, fast, and inexpensive to hire a Canadian in TN status. So it's a process of somehow getting through to someone at the company to educate them not to pass on a good candidate simply because they're Canadian. Which of course is a lot easier said than done.

Not a die hard defender of capitalism by any means but this is a gross over simplification. If you look at all of the alternatives during the early stages of capitalism the vast majority had oppression as a built in feature. It didn't bring about utopia but it did offer the best advantages over the competition, up until the competition all went under.

Having read many of PG's essays from the 2000s and seeing how he communicates now, I can only reach one conclusion. Like Musk, Zuck and the others who got rich quick decades ago, they are too far removed from any kind of "hacker" ethos today, and see everything from 30,000 ft, almost literally. What kind of self-described hacker spends their days advising incubees on the best way to close "high-touch B2B sales"?

They concern themselves with accumulating power first, and maintaining their "innovator" image second. Any empathy or compassion they may have had for the concerns of ordinary people appear to be long gone, except perhaps for their personal friends who may be on the receiving end of state-sanctioned bigotry. Reagan for example ignored AIDS, seeing it as a "gays and minorities" issue, while in private he looked out for the care of his AIDS-afflicted gay actor friend Rock Hudson, who passed from complications in 1985.

Back to PG, see his essay from some years ago, "How People Get Rich Now"[0]. You would think it was ghost-written by an investment bank's IPO division. Every single line is another way of saying "raise money for speculative bet, then go public", ignoring his own decades of experience at YC indicating the overwhelming majority cannot achieve this, in the biggest VC market in the world. Much of the United States population has absolutely no entry point into Sand Hill Road.

A response to that essay from a software engineer provided a sobering perspective to counterbalance the winner-take-all world PG lives in. [1]

> The whole "war on hate" thing was a bad idea; you can't forbid hatred. It predictably didn't work, and it's good that we're turning away from it.

This is a myopic view. You are obviously correct that you cannot legislate that someone think in any particular way or otherwise force someone to change their minds, but the idea that collectively deciding that a viewpoint is not longer tolerated within the broader society and then making efforts to support that at all levels is ineffective and not worthwhile is absurd. Threats, physical violence, and murder have always been illegal, but used to occur with much higher frequency against many minority groups toward which society tolerated hatred and abuse. It's plainly obvious what changed is the idea that it would be brushed under the rug, that others would at worst turn a blind eye to the perpetrator if not support them, that there would be no real consequences whether legal or in social circles - this environment in which people act on impulse rather than thinking twice about what they're doing - went away. We must remember that progress isn't permanent, that civil rights must be maintained and won't protect themselves, and that there's probably someone out there that hates someone each of us loves and cares about for some arbitrary reason and would act on that if only society gave them permission.

Saw this mentioned on the big thread about Bambu Labs recent “security” update. The project hadn’t been submitted in several months, so I figured time to resubmit.

Since the project was started, TeachingTech put the X1Plus devs in touch with Bambu Labs corporate. Apparently as a result, Bambu released tool that allows you to downgrade your firmware to a version X1Plus can exploit to sideload community firmware.

Here’s how it works:

"Unicode for pixels" would be something like Rec.2020 color (with some specific high depth and HDR solution defined) used in all APIs that take pixels. Currently sRGB is the closest to a universal default, but that's ASCII of pixels.

You need a monitor profile because the display protocol takes dumb numeric values that are interpreted in monitor-specific way, instead of being sent in some universal color space, and converted to monitor's internal format by the monitor itself.

In this analogy monitors are like pre-Unicode printers, where characters were just bytes, and the bytes mapped to whatever 8-bit language-specific font the printer had.
Unless pg just now edited it out, you're making false quotes and misrepresenting his words.

I cannot find the quote "social justice piggishness" or the word "gender" in his essay. Every single mention of the word "wave" is attached to "wave of political correctness" or a close variation thereof.

Edit: OP meant "priggishness". Got it.
I got into 3d printing a few years ago and noticed the same, bambu made me nervous for exactly this.

But the fanboyism and shilling in the 3d printing community is intense. If you mentioned these misgivings you'd get flamed. If you bought or enjoyed another printer people would advise you to sell it and buy Bambu. Lots of people in various threads seemed to defer to that kind of expert advice.

I think there is/was a similar fanaticism for Prusa going on, but it seems a little less at the forefront since Bambu.
I think it would increase the chances for escalation and war. It's hard to be allies with knives on each other's necks.
If the us wants peace and power it should embrace its allies like it did most of last century. If Europe becomes militaristic then it's culture will become militaristic, then will be constantly on the verge of war. It will escalate.

I don't think this is really good for the US or anybody else in the long term.

Europe should arm up, but US should cultivate a friendly relationship. If Europe would arm up and the US keeps pushing it'll either end up with escalation or US will have to start dismantling European cohesion, both out comes would be bloody.

Plus, If this tragedy happens, China would have an easier time dominating.
First time?

We are living in a post-truth world. Mass Media and Social media manipulation have been on basically for centuries, and the trend has been far stronger as social media reached a high percentage of world's population. And a major player in all that process was the US government, but it is important only when it lands close to home.
A president can't end democracy just because they want to. There have probably been many presidents in the past that would have liked, in their secret heart of hearts, to be dictators. But they didn't end democracy because they couldn't, because our Federal government has a system of checks and balances that limit the power of the president.

He was president once, and was not able to pull off a successful insurrection, or murder any political opponents. And he probably won't do so this time.
>In general I wholeheartedly agree. But if the person in front of you has done or advocated for things that cause harm or is themself a horrible person then I disagree.

I feel like the parent comment is pretending to be deep and meaningful but is really just rehashing the 'both sides are the same' argument with a side of 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion'. It's nice to say that we should judge everyone for who they are, but if who they are is a vocal member of a group that wants to hurt other people, that's all we need to know to judge them. Pretending otherwise is silly.
> the reason why conservative women are so mad about trans women is because they don’t want to share washrooms with the sex slave caste.

I would like to see more of the HN caste engage with the very notion of a caste system, but I can't immediately think of a way to do it that also accommodates the spirit of HN—which I value—that dictates we focus on technical subjects. Perhaps the techie workforce angle is the only good faith approach.

Reading that helped me come to terms with how most of the time when I read PG essays I was a lot less impressed than everyone else seemed to be, and often (any time the topic wasn’t narrowly tech or maaaybe business) his writing struck me as actually bad—not well-reasoned, not convincing, and giving an impression of his being poorly-informed.

When I experience an author everyone else is praising that way, I wonder if I’m the moron. But, sometimes, maybe I’m not…

How can a business feel that? You mean a founder? a ceo? the investors? The laywers? People who are running business at $500MM+ arr have 4 things to consider distinctly, with their own lenses and frames: The business- It's model, it's operations, defined processes etc, every monday this report comes in, it is read by this functional area, it's converted into this insight, the insight is used, the consumer is delighted, more money comes in, the cycle continues. The humans involved are relevant so much as they must be able to do the task, who the literally are doesn't particularly matter, it's just a resource to allow a cog to spin. The company - the people inside the business. The organizations - how the people are assemble continually. The market - customers etc.

If you observe the business "feeling" - done correctly, what you're observing the outcome of an evaluation process that decided it functioned more competitively in a different mode. (The best world class employees are in Spain, lets make our HR more diverse in it's language) A business cannot, should not, and does not, have feelings. The only place ethics technically come into play are in the context of law.

It's nuanced, but it's important, without being fully fleshed in your framings, things get muddy. Businesses are systems and processes that fairly and adequately serve the parties involved while hedging out individual humans.
I mean it’s a compromise, usually both sides are unhappy when a compromise is made haha.

There are real concerns that the CCP could use it as a tool to manipulate and spy on the American people. There’s a good reason why Tik Tok is being banned in many countries around the world. Also a good reason why China bans and tightly controls American social media companies in their country.

But if we agree to compromise, we can ideally find a balance where the average American is best served.
I'll bet said phds can't answer the equivalent question in a language they don't understand. LLMs don't speak character level english. LLMs are, in some stretched meaning of the word, illiterate.

If LLMs used character level tokenization it would work just fine. But we don't do that and accept the trade off. It's only folks who have absolutely no idea how LLMs work that find the strawberry thing meaningful.
