What's annoying about this design, when there's such a small corpus, is that I need to search for many permutations of a query in order to find good results. Without a feature like this, I want to have another feature that allows

The one I just tried was "urbit key rollover" Upon closer inspection, I think there's something disconcerting about using this engine in that—I don't know the right words for this but—it filters 100% by all the keywords.

Feedback: I've tried the search engine a couple times and just bounced because there were no results for my queries, and it's hard to think of new queries that actually matter to me when I'm just trying something Hoping this

I found my first startup job out of school on HN in the 2010s. I moved on to another role within a year though. The work I did is still visible online—an ode to Tufte :) I also used to post job posts here for another company and I think we

The magical thing about Nyquist is that this isn't a problem. Two values is enough to define a pure sine wave at 20khz, and all you need is the ability to represent sine waves at every frequency (per Fourier analysis). This reaches the

An important thing at play here is that for many engineers, and craftspeople in general, it is painful to do things in a way that is inelegant or "wrong," even if it's best for the "business," which is to say ther

I recommend watching the interview with Andres. When we adopt a defensible model of consciousness, it becomes clear that simulations of things are different from the things being simulated, and as such we cannot expect them to be conscious

Discussions of consciousness and AI are broadly confused. People, especially scientists, are not familiar with philosophy of mind and what philosophers currently think. For an introduction to some of the best thinking on the subject, see th

It's more like "adopting the view that this will work," because doing that works. It's a pragmatic argument, in practice. Dogma certainly creeps in when you get away from practice into politics, but "bias" isn&

For what it's worth, the "faith in lineage" stuff doesn't require magical thinking and is pretty helpful. The downside of it from my perspective is it's just a lot of stuff to learn and a bit complicated to maintain

Absolutely, see Internal Family Systems. With a little practice, you can empirically determine that this is how your mind and emotions work. https://ifs-institute.com/

In a clinical setting, the idea is alive and well in the form of Internal Family Systems and other "parts work." I wouldn't be surprised if microservices come from the same root of inspiration as well, via object oriented pro

If you can, try to take an entire year off. Spend this year exploring. Do things you would never do, push your edges, take excellent care of yourself. It's a big world and you have a lot of value to contribute it many many different pl

This only makes sense from a naively individualist perspective. If no one ever made a billion dollars, so to speak, there would be no money at all.

Just downloaded the new iOS weather app and it has all the features I use from Dark Sky. I even prefer the interface! For what it's worth, I often enjoy when Apple absorbs apps. I thought they did a fantastic job with Shortcuts.

There are huge geopolitical forces fighting to preserve the Amazon. The cost of deforestation is quantified and states pay millions if not billions (I forget the numbers) to people in order to leave it untouched. Of course, it's politi

I think it's vital to start shifting the default narrative around this type of thing to match current historical understanding. The Amazon rainforest is a _garden_. North America was deforested by humans thousands of years ago, and man

And then what is the story behind the work? Well: an artist made someone with DALL-E, printed it, and then printed over it to make it convincing. Now, compare with: "this is an original master work of a historically revered artist,&quo

For artists at high levels who print, the print is a part of the work and is often done with close to as much care as one puts into a painting—fine tuning colors, making small details perfect, printing on exotic materials, totally messing u
