I don't think that's right.

* There is limited evidence that farming use of antibiotics is what drives resistance in clinical cases. That is - we use enormous amounts of antibiotics in farming, but the resistance it creates doesn't really seem to move into the hospitals.

* There is no reason to believe we've hit a wall and can't invent more antibiotics in the future. Historically we haven't focused much on antibiotics because we already have a bunch, and because there is less money in developing those drugs compared to e.g. lifestyle drugs or chemotherapy.

* We can still adopt better policies in the future to fight against resistance. For example, some countries crazily overprescribe antibiotics, or prescribe broad spectrum ones. We can also still amp up hygiene in hospitals - literally paying more people to scrub and boil and sterilize stuff will work.

* There are still some antimicrobial treatment techniques we haven't put a lot of resources in. Like, bacteriophage treatments, or cycling antibiotics.

I hit this when upgrading to Ubuntu 25.04 as that upgraded to Python 3.13. I'm running the various python projects I want in a venv. For the projects stuck on 3.12 I ended up building and installing it from source to my local directory (removing the unprefixed links for compatibility) as the ppa for Python ports doesn't (didn't?) support the latest Ubuntu.

I dislike using something like docker or conda as I don't want to install/use a separate distro just to be able to use a different version of Python. My setup is working well so far.

If I was in your shoes... I would set-up a website that catalogs all the sources that you are aware of. The goal is to attract all the other people that are curious into a focused community.

I was really young; starting to become verbal when I first met Jim Brown. I have sort of known about LogLan all my life and it rarely ever comes up.

2 weeks ago I met a young 20 something that was extremely frustrated with the chaos of the English language. I sent him a link to the Loglan.org page. He had already found that page and like you wanted more.

I obviously was surprised to see Loglan mentioned anywhere within such a short time frame.

I think the time is right to catalog this subject on the internet to attract the like minded.

It used to be good, or at least quite decent in GH Copilot, but it all turned into poop (the completions, the models, everything) ever since they announced the pricing changes.

Considering that M$ obviously trains over GitHub data, I'm a bit pissed, honestly, even if I get GH Copilot Pro for free.

> Jumbo jets won't be electrified anytime soon. Weight (and thus, energy density/kg) is everything. But synthetic fuels, hydrogen etc might be good options.

That's making me think that hydrogen-filled airships (Zeppelins/dirigibles) might be practical with some kind of electric propulsion. That way, the weight is no longer so much of an issue, though the trade-off is that they'll need to be bigger. Their speed (or slowness) could be an advantage in that they should be much easier to fly and collisions would hopefully be infrequent and not so catastrophic (I'm picturing more of a bounce than a collision).

There was never any requirement for sharing anything between the two vehicles and they were made by completely different contractors. Grumman made the LEM and North American Aviation made the command module. There was also a significant redesign of the command module after the Apollo 1 fire which completely changed the cabin environment. Sort of how you probably cannot take a chunk of equipment out of the cockpit of an Airbus 320 and expect to slot it in to a similar role in a Boeing 737.

I think there's a risk of "it's too soon to say here" when deciding on fuel vs battery Vs hydrogen. The problem is that this is a highly complex dynamic system with different people experiencing different externalities.

Reasons answering this question is difficult are, for example:

- given the demands for highly valuable electricity and alternative use cases, why do we insist on using it in locomotion?

- given marginal electricity pricing, everyone is subsidising cleaner air in cities for the benefit of air quality of only those living in cities

- might electric buses be prevalent because of smaller up front costs to infrastructure, and not because it's the right thing longer term?

- if electrification of transport in general was a bad idea (first bullet) then how does this change the economics of hydrogen given the longer run access to SMR sourced hydrogen from longer term fossil fuel extraction?

- how sure are we that we are solving a co2 climate crisis with the actions we are taking?

This all in the context of "greening" our economies when all the dirty industry and carbon emissions are exported to China, out of sight but not out of the true equation. And then there's the destruction of industrial capacity in Europe carried out by green agendas, all in favour of the Chinese Communist Party longer term.

I was fortunate enough to go to the very first race in Austin. That was pre the DTS-driven levels of attendance you get at races these days, and (maybe because it was their first time hosting?) it was also super cheap compared to attending any other race. And honestly it was one of the best race weekends I've attended. The layout of the track (e.g., a main straight that goes into a hairpin, comes back downhill, sweeps back right and uphill...) seems almost uniquely designed to give someone in the paddock the ability to watch multiple parts of the circuit. Also Austin was just a great city to visit too.

> Do you remember what Windows and Linux and MacOS were like in 90s? What exactly is the software we are comparing?

Yes, yes I do.

Since then the computer have become several orders of magnitude more powerful. You cannot even begin to imagine how fast and powerful our machines are.

And yet nearly everything is barely capable of minimally functioning. Everything is riddled with loading screens, lost inputs, freeze frames and janky scrolling etc. etc. Even OS-level and professional software.

I now have a AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, DDR5 6000MHz RAM and M.2 NVME disks. I should not even see any loading screen, or any operation taking longer than a second. And yet even Explorer manages to spend seconds before showing contents of some directories.

When I learned programming, one of my first programs was a (rather lame) attempt to check the Goldbach conjecture. Over the years, as I learned more programming languages (first attempt was in C), it became my go-to program to get acquainted with a new language (for a few years, anyway). I never got very far, but it was fun to see how much performance I could squeeze out of the programming in various languages.

So this tickles my nostalgia bone strongly. And maybe makes me feel a tiny bit jealous. But more excited than envious, really, to see people are still working on this problem.

EV has been tried with great success since the moment the electric motor was invented. Trams, metros, trolleybuses. The bottleneck for free range was always the battery - which was solved by the mobile phones. The electronics industry had the money to invest into batteries because of the premium that people were willing to pay for even minor battery improvements. And the economy of scale pushed it down to where a battery pack was costing less than the GDP of Australia and so viable in a car.

Hydrogen cars will become available only when hydrogen is used as a temporary storage for renewable energy. But probably even there converting it to electricity in industrial scale fuel cell will make more sense.

Correct. Just more generated bullshit on top of the already generated bullshit.

I wish the bubble would pop already and they make an LLM that would return straight up references to the training set instead of the anthropomorphic conversation-like format.

Probably way more important than lowering the CO2 is getting rid of PM2.5/PM10.

Rooftops nowadays are best used to mount solar panels. Some system growing circulating algae, be it on the roof or on the sun drenched walls while doable would have way higher at least the operating costs. Clining is one thing. If you live in the area with below zero temperatures either you drain the system or invest even more in some glasshouse, maybe thermal isolation at night or heating.

As mentioned by others, there are chemical solutions.

Wasnt an early 90s show called "Tropical heat" absurdly popular in the Balkans?

All I remember is that it had a pony-tailed detective called Nick Slaughter, who was solving cases with a red haired woman called Sylvia. The show was very 90s...

How about The X-files? The show was popular everywhere, although it had very un-even writing. Could have a 10/10 episode followed by a 1/10 episode.

Alarming that that was a last minute question and an "if it makes you feel better" offer, honestly, even if it obviously went fine. On the day of my surgery I was constantly being asked what it was and on which side, by nurses, by the anaesthetist, the surgeon came and saw me on the ward beforehand and verbally confirmed it, palpated the correct area, and drew on me, and then on the bed before they put me under I was asked to lift the blanket and show there was an arrow and confirm that it was correct in front of basically the entire team. It would've been literally impossible to doubt that they knew what they were supposed to do.

You will still earn the difference between the expensive property and the less expensive one. It will just be a lot less and that’s a good thing.

Using properties as store of value or betting on them becoming more expensive have too many externalities.

Your case for exemple is directly leading to people actually living and working in the less expensive places being displaced by retirees from the city which is very much undesirable for local life.

"our computers are thousands of times faster and more powerful than computers from the 90s and early 2000s, so of course it makes sense that 'constraints of development' make it impossible to make a working debugger on a modern supercomputer due to ... reasons.

not an astro anything, but the easy question is how does the sun switch off it's light output so suddenly as to cause a perfect garavitational collapse presumably it has to be a large metal rich star and exist without too much local gas or a companion star one thing is clear at this point is that the variety of stelar and galactic variability is much larger than what was predicted even a few decades ago, though the idea of a star just neatly removing itself from this universe when it's done, is very strange indeed

I'd love to read the article but it doesn't want me to On the subject of cozy games I personally like Viscera Cleanup Detail a lot. I've seen people criticize some of the (arguably) annoying design decisions like bucket dispensers sometimes sending out organs and severed limbs. The way I see it: I'm playing this game for the express purpose of cleaning spaceships and sci-fi laboratories. The game is just giving me more stuff to clean, good! When there is some meta-progression (unlocks, dialogue trees, etc.) I find myself getting stressed over what I can unlock next, or which dialogue tree I have yet to clear. In that way, VCD is perfect because you just pick a map and go. More games should make all of their content available to the player from the start.

> it requires a bleeding edge iPhone

Ah, yes, as bleeding edge as the iPhone XS that was released in 2018.

> and only works on M1 Macs

It's using the compatibility layer that allows users to run iOS apps on the Mac. Which only works on M1+ Macs. OP isn't even marketing this as a Mac app, they likely just left the "compatibility mode" checkbox checked (as it is by default).

> it doesn't even make you money

The app contains ads. Presumably this is intended to make money and not just because OP felt like ads made their app look cool.

> I believe Apple changed their tune and now allows PWA submissions to the App Store. Almost certainly the same for the Play Store

Both of these stores require wrapping PWAs in "native" shells, at the minimum.

Next time you feel the need to show up as the first comment in someone's Show HN just to shit on their work, a) maybe don't, and b) if you gotta anyway, make sure your criticisms are based in reality.

I'm from West Yorkshire, the dialect is slowly fading. My grandfather would speak with a strong accent and with spatterings of Norse words. I notice now that, yes, dialects in the UK are becoming homogenised but there is also some American influence seeping in. The American way of pronouncing a double t as a d "better" => "bedder" is increasingly more prevalent in the UK, it's slightly saddening.

"I am convinced that cross-vendor incompatibility was THE reason for CP/M's failure. Not anti-competitive behavior, not shenanigans, but the fact that if you spent $495 on the Kaypro version of Wordstar and then bought an Osborne, it wouldn't work. Same Z80, same CP/M, wouldn't work."

But CP/M had a well defined API. Compliant programs would work on different vendor's computer, much like in the MS-DOS domain. The key difference was, that CP/M had no well-defined disk format, i.e. you couldn't just swap disks (for evaluation purpose only, of course) with your buddy if he didn't happen to own the same type of computer; you had first to transfer the software via other means, e.g. serial interface (perhaps using kermit). A bridge too far for most casual computer users.

Fairness and difficulty are orthogonal to each other, no one said the game is unfair. But it is definitely very challenging, and that’s not marketing as far as I know - I have yet to see a trailer etc for the game that says anything about difficulty. Dark Souls did that a lot more with their "prepare to die edition" or the opening of DS2.
by fleek | 2025-04-19 10:36:02+00:00
It literally is this way. America has ignored the plight of poor working class whites by grouping them with elite whites and treating them as one privileged group.

Then they focused on elevating nonwhites non Christians and homosexuals to higher social and economic standing not realizing or simply choosing to ignore that most white people really arent that much better off than non whites if you remove elites from the statistics.

So to poor white Americans this seems like a free pass or line jump for everybody else and we are now living through the political reaction to this injustice.

You can't tell 65% of your population to step aside without some repercussions.

Enjoy the madness.

The tool is simple, looks around in default locations for your ssh_configs and parses them as detailed by https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5

Loads the data into a terminal UI and provides keybinds to interact with the data.

Under the hood nothing changes, system-wide utilities ssh, sftp, mosh, sshpass are used if present.

We could say, it's just a wrapper around ssh_config w/ some convenience methods built-in and a list of free, disposable shell servers one can easily access for testing.

It doesn’t necessarily switch anything off or collapse - it’s possible for a star of the right mass and density to simply end up with a core that is held up only by degeneracy pressure, and the core slowly shrinks as it cools until it lies within its schwarzschild radius, and the rest of the star is either quietly consumed by this relatively slow process, or just escapes as though nothing much happened. Which from the outside looks like the star just turning off.
by randoomed | 2025-04-19 10:39:49+00:00
That is one possible explanation. However i have a different theory why difficult games like this can help.

I notice that when i get in a bad head space, i trend to become less active. It then becomes more difficult to start doing anything.

Playing a game like dark souls gives you two things: 1. Its stimulating, and gives you instant feedback. 2. It allows you to fail, and have to retry.

So instead of passively drowning my self in algorithmic content, im actively working towards a goal. This then makes it easier to actually pick something up in the real word.

breaking out of the initial cycle of running away from the world is the most difficult part of getting out of a bad headspace (for me). So anything that breaks open those initial steps can be very helpful.
by MrJohz | 2025-04-19 10:42:20+00:00
Yeah, that's a pretty common approach. Unfortunately, browsers aren't very good at doing patch updates, so it'll completely reset any UI elements in the region being rerendered.

It also will make it hard to scope anything you want to do to an individual DOM element. If you want granular updates, for example, you want to be able to do something like `document.querySelector(???)` and be certain it's going to refer to, say, a specific text input in your `printPost` template, without worrying about accessing the inputs created by other instances of the `printPost` template. You can do that with unique IDs, but it's fiddly and error-prone.

If you have ever seen the inner workings of a student hiring committee, you would not say that Chinese students are given a leg up.

Yes, they generally pay more. However, there are so many highly qualified Chinese applicants that universities generally hold them to a much higher standard, in order to avoid admitting "too many" Chinese students.

This is all a function of China producing many more highly qualified students (at the high-school and undergraduate level) than the United States does. If everything were done purely according to academic merit, there would be several times as many Chinese students as American students at American universities.

Did any of you guys read the article? In the first few paragraphs:

"They’ve successfully analyzed the DNA of two naturally mummified livestock herders who died roughly 7,000 years ago in present-day Libya, which was part of what’s known as the “green Sahara.”

The article says they were practising animal husbandry - I'm guessing they have evidence for that!

So the question is not whether they did it, but whether they started doing it themselves or were taught it by others.

No, I'm not talking about img2img. There are people training LoRAs on these. There's been multiple experiments, so far I've seen no evidence of it working as intended.

Here's an example I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/aiwars/comments/1h1x4e2/a_very_deta...

You can see there an example of training picking up the glaze artifacts and just using them as a funky texture. That's not really what Glaze is intended to do. Glaze is supposed to interfere with training, not be interpreted as "this artist draws skin with a weird pattern on it".

This doesn't match my experience, and no dictionary I've checked says the past participle depends on the context; only that "proven" and "proved" can both be used (in any context). See e.g. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/proven#Verb

I'm not a mathematician though, so maybe this is a genuine semantic convention that neither I nor my dictionary are aware of. Maybe it's just that some mathematical style guides say to prefer "proved", for consistency, not that it really depends on the context?

Ireland is investing heavily in green energy production at the moment, building two facilities to split water with excess wind energy. I guess the idea is to capture what can't be used at time of generation and make money from it.

The idea is for "heavy transport" and "aviation" sectors to use these. Are there any hydrogen planes?

Perhaps they mean turning it into ammonia through haber-bosch but that requires even further energy.

Yes you're right! It's very hard to estimate how many people die from snake bite, for a thousand reasons (under reporting, incomplete snake databases, etc). This meta analysis indeed puts the numbers above 100.000 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11020954/ but I get where you're coming from! The uncertainty in these data is huge.

Open World games were an interesting experiment, but the result is clear: the good ones are good despite the open world, not because of it. Not a single one managed to not feel like the developers copy-pasted content in a desperate attempt to fill the empty game world. At that point maybe don’t make such a huge world? And replayability suffers too, because replaying the game means working through a list of things to collect before the actual game can start.

That said exploring the world in Elden Ring was probably the best time I ever had in a video game. The repetitive dungeons not so much.

Note: The parent comment accused me of giving clues to hack the application, but that part was later edited out, making my response a bit strange.

---

This is basically a free security audit, even though I only spent like five minutes. If your application can be "hacked" so easily, it's very irresponsible to say you're "verifying" the conjecture. Removing the comment doesn't make your application any more secure.

Btw, I even helpfully pointed to prior art which you can learn from. A butthurt response is pretty sad.
