DANmode··on Ask HN: Any nerds out there who've read a lot of research papers?
Good, memorable copy should be indistinguishable from helpful copy.

You didn’t notice none of the other comments here look or sound like this?

Go figure.

> At least those often fund things like state education so, over time, the pool of victims is maybe lessened by the success of the program? Maybe?

You have some numbers to check.

(“Elaborate thoughts” aren’t needed here - are more people spending less on the lottery? where does each state spend the money?)

The AMD part looks too specific, but I’ll have to check the math.

DANmode··on Show HN: HN.watch – Videos of all Hacker News posts
Thanks, I hate it.

Kidding, I already sent it to a friend with ADHD who has been struggling to remain anchored to the tech world in any way besides Shorts.

But, culturally, I definitely hate the trend it implies!

Neat. Thank you for sharing.

DANmode··on Self-Hosting on the Dark Web
Until you got to the network traffic tricks, those were good practices for any landing page you want to open quickly!
DANmode··on The Copilot+ PC brand is dead
They called it Claude for legal reasons.
DANmode··on Ask HN: Hypothesis: Cellular providers are deprioritizing voice calls?
So would a culture that forced unknown callers to leave a voicemail.
DANmode··on PostmarketOS is rebranding as Nura
As a daily-driver?
DANmode··on When did Google get so weird?
They’re trying to keep it from “thinking too hard”/using “too many” resources.

That simple.

Broad rules across specific subjects like this are tough to get right.

Just lots of fine-tuning and exceptions.

I had their chatbot avoid pulling a URL from archive.org with a couple pretty impressive steps of mental gymnastics basically telling me how I could do it myself, but refusing until I pushed.

> The number one demograph for domestic violence and abuse are cops, they are not just a randomly selected group of people that chanced into law enforcement as a career.

Be sure you don’t have the causation backwards - or that it doesn’t flow strongly both ways!

It attracts certain people - and being around that crowd and power pushes some number of people over the line that were near it.

See also: stimulant use, abuse, in the construction industry.

DANmode··on Ask HN: Folks familiar with infections after TKA
If you decide you DO want practical applied advice, let us know.

I’m a researcher forced into that position by horrific infections, and then just never stopped digging up more info, finding others to learn more from, others to leapfrog through that.

> It is like the best student in your classroom tells you 2 + 2 = 5, and you naturally feel compelled to believe him, even there is clear evidence against the claim.

It’s more like normal people don’t know that 97.8% accurate isn’t 100% - despite how good of a score that would be on a test.

Law enforcement is predominantly made up of normal people.

You might see where this is going.

DANmode··on Excel now supports multiple values in a single cell

DANmode··on My weird new hobby: Wandering around Tokyo on Google Maps
Is this your experience with aerial, or Street View level imagery? Both?

Thanks!

DANmode··on What even is an OS now?
> Is this how the internet finally dies?

Like many major cultural phenomenon, expect a pendulum effect, more than a beginning or end of a trend.

DANmode··on What even is an OS now?
> Unless you have a local model and the appropriate hardware for it, your agent is Somebody Else's Computer

So, any Apple computer?

Try working for technical companies.

This is an observable spectrum with which can influence the kind of team you have in your landing spot.

DANmode··on Weeping whales: Stillborn humpback whale grieving documented
> Birdsong communicates, but not much.

Whales and dolphins have nuanced language that conveys more meaning than we can capture, though we’ve begun.

Thank you for perfectly capturing human arrogance.

DANmode··on Porsche puts wireless EV charging into production
The charger includes motion sensors and “foreign object detection”.

If a pet, person, or metal object gets between the pads, the system supposedly stops working so nothing overheats.

So, it might get a cat yelled at ^_^

DANmode··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
> I do not consider being a reasonably well adjusted member of society, and enforcing that, to be the responsibility of businesses

The correct read of “Corporations are people, my friend.” is that people are indeed responsible for individual corporate humanism - being moral in how they operate even inside a company - or expect social repercussions at minimum in return.

Having said that: I’m not 100% sure who should pay (and at what portions) for what’s being debated.
