Say nothing of many crisis were avoided because somebody was able to pull up a local excel file despite a central service being down or go through their historical files and sniff out a discrepancy. Workflows like that are often impossible or require coordinating with a vendor in another time zone or a bunch of slow cross team communication and ticket submissions with the sort of minimum effort "we'll run a DB in the cloud and slap a JS front end built with a bunch of questionable but flashy libraries and ignore all the edge cases because I'll be working somewhere else in 2yr" solutions that the median software developer hive mind will implement if left to its own devices.

In theory, there is enough magnesium in your bones (~12 g) to cover your RDA (~400 mg) for 30 days [1]. However, only a third of that is available without strongly negatively affecting your health. So if your Mg stores are full (if!), then you have about 10 days worth "stored". However, your day-to-day Mg homeostasis is done by your kidneys, i.e. on a much, much shorter time scale. So your daily intake does matter, but sporadic deficiencies can be compensated for about 10 days.

I was mainly saying I don't understand why you were indicating we should presume or expect they would average out in an N=1 experiment. Even in much larger experiments that is not reliably the case. Science would be relatively easy if there were not a lot of noise in the real world. So, to be clear, my concern is mainly one of scale - the experiment is far too restricted to overlook this: the smaller the experiment, the more important this type of information. Perhaps you were not saying that such averaging might be possible in an N=1 experiment and I misread, since it seems that you comment here indicates a different point.

I of course agree that logging them is basic scientific methodology - in order to detect issues with the experiment, and even hopefully to see the signal through the noise.

$90K Lost to Fraud on Stripe Connect–A Charity's Nightmare Experience
A heartfelt warning to anyone considering using Stripe Connect, especially those who run charities or support critical causes.

There's two different questions here: one is "is the way things are currently done stupid" (to which the answer is often "yes"). The other is "can a random outsider do better just by thinking about it" (to which the answer is usually, though not always, "no").

It's the same principle as another comment I made a few days ago ([1]). It's not hard to identify problems that really are problems, but finding effective and feasible solutions to those problems is often far more difficult, especially if you're an outsider. The mistake isn't in identifying the problems, it's in thinking that you can come in totally blind and know how to solve them. (Or, put another way, in thinking that you as an outsider can tell the "dumb and easily fixed" problems from the "horrifying systemic nightmare" problems.)

I don’t see how the article can plausibly argue that Bitcoin has won. How does USA creating a reserve of coins they will never sell change anything? It’s just as if the cap of bitcoins have been adjusted, which doesn’t fundamentally change Bitcoins role.

Can you get a bank to issue a mortgage in Bitcoin? Can you make your employer pay you in Bitcoin? Can you pay your taxes in Bitcoin? No? Then nothing has changed. Bitcoin didn’t win in any meaningful sense. It’s just an abstract thing people hoard for the sake of hoarding. If you’re lucky you can use it as a hedge against inflation. Fairly safe in the very long term, but very risky in the short term.

Yes, the market cap is continuously increasing, but I don’t see how thats meaningful. Anyone can create a new coin with a huge market cap. That’s easy. The market cap doesn’t say anything about how much value is stored in the coin. The market cap becomes even less meaningful if huge quantities of bitcoins are stored in huge reserves, that can never sell a significant portion of their coins without crashing the entire bitcoin market.

Yeah, governments don’t fear bitcoin anymore, mostly because it has become clear that bitcoin could never do any of the things people thought it could do. The main problems now is cryptocurrencies being used for crime and scams, but I think most governments know it’s hopeless to fight that fight by banning the currencies themselves. The fight will mainly be in the form of increasing regulations around trading cryptocurrencies for real currencies, which is already happening many places.
His approval rating was in “it would be unprecedented if you won” territory early enough that he should have been out in time to have a real primary.

Even so, switching was better than not, despite still losing.

More seriously, I think this is a great "next step" in the evolution of benchmarks. Contemporary benchmarks are really just standardized tests, but the Factorio problem set presents an unbounded canvas of creativity for solutioning.
I was surprised that I had never heard of this, but as I investigated further I found the citations were sparse. All of the posts I could find about the topic on Reddit, for example, pointed back to Richard Sugg. Here's an excerpt from the About section of his website:

> This book led me onto even stranger topics still: ghosts and poltergeists. As a lifelong rationalist and agnostic, I had no interest in these until I came across vampires behaving like poltergeists. What could this mean? After a lot of reading, of cases seemingly so impossible they made your head hurt; and after talking about poltergeists to many people, and having a surprising number of them say, Yes – that’s happened to me, I came to suspect that poltergeists were actually real. Not only that, but I also realised that the poltergeist is a master of disguise. Across centuries and continents, when people talk about vampires, witches, demons, ghosts, and even fairies, they are often clearly describing poltergeist outbreaks.

You'll excuse me if I find it hard to take these claims seriously.

Pepper Ridge Farms remembers.
That persistent societal division of fifty-fifty is emblematic of a failed political system. There's never just two sides to any real-life issue, but having only two parties forces everything to be viewed through that binary lens. This damage runs much deeper than just politics, everything in society has to be all-or-nothing: it's always good vs evil, you're with us or against us, you're successful or an utter failure, you're either rich or poor, etc.

Building a one-stop cybersecurity product for Startups/SMBs – Now in beta
We’ve spoken to 50+ startup founders over the past few months, and one thing is painfully clear:

Cybersecurity is broken for New Age Businesses & SMBs.

Enterprises today require 40+ security products, a dedicated team, millions in capital, and at least a year to build their security infrastructure.

Startups and New Age Businesses? They’re scaling fast with lean teams—they can’t afford that legacy approach. They need something that scales as fast as they do without adding headcount.

We’re building OSTO to fix this.
A One-Stop cybersecurity SaaS product – currently covering protection, soon followed by compliance and insurance.
Deploys in 15 minutes – no security team required.
Monthly subscription – affordable for startups and SMBs at $15/user/month.

Protection spans Cloud, Network & Endpoint.
Read current use cases here: https://possible-jackrabbit-f41.notion.site/Use-Cases-1b100349f4b5800b864cca94b6f29dcd

We’re 2X cybersecurity founders and have invested $400K to build the MVP. Currently running a closed beta—opening up soon.

Special Beta Offer → Get it at $10 per organization per month for the first 50 companies.
We’d love feedback from the HN community:

What are the biggest security challenges you’ve faced at your startup?
What would make a cybersecurity platform like this a “must-have” for you?

If you’re running a startup or SMB, grab the beta spot - fill the form and we’ll reach out!

RubyLLM: A delightful Ruby way to work with AI
I had a sumsung phone that did that. I specifically bought it because it allowed unlocking the bootloader. It auto updated in the middle of the night, removing the ability to unlock the bootloader.

I had a TCL phone that started bootlooping at 3AM after an automatic update. TCL wanted the cost of the phone to repair it.

I can't think of a realistic solution. The government could solve it, if they worked for people rather than rich fuckers. There's no way they'd regulate their donors to improve something for their constituency.

"do-good"? No, you are confusing legitimate aid with "the first one's free". The fake aid is often designed to create dependency and send large part of the money back to the donors.

My dumb theory is that they’re trying to break up the “monopoly” allegations. But, I’m not sure what the stats are for how many people use ad block blockers like ublock, and are willing to migrate to a different browser because of its loss. On top of that, like others say there are still ad blockers available.

Terrible sample size: I moved to FF as soon as I couldn’t use a cookie cleaner for web dev work, and ublock origin.
Yeah. There are many fun experiments one could do. Now I got this idea instead: what if it opened up on 07:39 PM on January 1st, but then the window moved forward 3 minutes and 56.7 seconds each day so that it was back on 07:39 PM a year later. That sounds like it would be extremely useless, but fun.
As a “never post, but catch up on my feed every month or two” type user the lack of an archive makes this product useless but I realize it’s not for me and wouldn’t complain just saying it’s stated as low touch but kind of requires daily use.

There is a possibility it did not cross their minds that those instructions could an issue.

In their blog post they were very open about what does commands do and it looks like some of their clients that do advanced things with their chips are also aware of the instructions.

Probably the idea that the company is Chinese was enough to not bother asking the manufacturer for documentation about the instructions.

>An unsolved problem is how to program a webbrowser in less than 20 KLOC.

How about instead of a full web runtime you change the problem to be implementing (or inventing) server and client protocols for common web services? (Vblogging, Q&A forums, micro blogging, social bookmarking, wiki's etc.)
The user can choose their time zone when they sign up, and the service can prevent them from changing it (or heavily limit how often it can be changed)

Even when using Firefox (with RFP) I often get captchas that say "You have been blocked" after you solve it. I don't bother with sites asking for captchas anymore. If I see a captcha, I close the tab, since there is no guarantee I'll be getting the page if I solve it anyways. Sorry, I'm not training your AI for free. I hope someone will sue captcha providers for accessibility, which if it succeeds, will break captchas forever.

Well maybe not but I was watching in mild amazement a bunch of Chinese cross the border in a 60 minutes segment. It's more hurry over through a gap than wander. https://youtu.be/M7TNP2OTY2g?t=38

I was thinking the odd nature of US immigration is probably down to it being more legalistic than other countries - more lawyers and courts. That could account for both the hard time with legal visitors and also the Mexican border in that the people in that video I think were relying on legal protections for asylum seekers and the like.
True. Personally I have thought a change like this inevitable for a long time. The big threat to the US is China. Russia may even be potential ally against China in the long term and is no real threat to the US.

Russia is something of a threat to Europe (especially Eastern Europe), but China is a lot less of a threat to us than it is to the US.

In many ways European countries are sliding slowly into a closer relationship with China. In the UK (where the Russian threat is pretty distant) the government is allowing Chinese influence in universities, politics and business (universities that are transparently apologists for China), despite many warnings and spy/bought influence scandals. It seems to be even worse in other European countries.

I think the future holds an American lead alliance to counter China. It will contain multiple Asian countries, but I would not bet on which way European countries will go (and even whether they all pick the same side).

I forgot the name but its an app that sends you a notification at a random time each day, and it gives you 1 minute of use. If you miss it, you miss it.

In that 1 minute you can take a photo where you are right then, and can use the rest of the minute to browse someone else’s series of photos. Just the 1 person you were connected to that day.

It just shows how people are living.

In real life. I know its changed someone’s trajectory. All of their pictures were in an office cubicle and it pushed them to pursue other things sooner. Retirement in their case, to pursue drum circles and new age things because this was always fulfilling for them, they just kept delaying it beyond the rationality to delay it.

For the real frontier benchmark, at the edge of what humans will put up with, install Pyanodon's mod. The scale of it puts a real strain on your organizational skills. Overbuilding, underbuilding, or bad planning can all cause significant pain down the line as the factory risks becoming an unmanageable, tangled mess with no sane capacity for expansion. It's a real test of executive function and organization.

For something humans will definitely not put up with, install PyBlock in Hard Mode. I suspect that benchmark will not fall anytime soon. It is borderline impossible without superhuman patience.
I would use the term irreducible complexity - you can move it around but you cant get rid of it, and spreading it all over your code smoothly and evenly makes it 10x harder to change or reason about it.
