One problem is very generic tooling in Haskell. In many languages, you'll have a library that might provide a function like "iteratePokerGameStep." In the haskell community, the author is more likely to realize that this could just be implemented via "BiApplicativeProfuctorCategory.map." So instead of writing a 6 line "iteratePokerGameStep" which gets its own name, you're more likely to see someone just call "map." Much simpler code in some ways, much less simple in others.

Your average residential person doesn't have a homemade semiconductor manufacturing facility in their garage either, I'm sure getting into contact with local waste disposal agencies is a far easier task than building all this stuff.
As mentioned in other posts, the process of making these types of devices tend to produce rounded structures. This is a byproduct of using Ion beams, deposition, lithography, etc in manufacture.

BUT, the image is also made worse by how the image is captured. The picture you are looking at is a FIB (Focused Ion Beam) cut cross-section of a transistor which is then imaged by a SEM (scanning electron microscope). Probably in one of their fancy dual source beam devices. Depending on how you cut with the FIB, you can also push material downwards into lower layers and create a waterfall effect that will blur edges. It's can be very noticeable in rookie cuts but doesn't look like a major impact here.

Imaging with the SEM itself can also cause distortion and blurring as trapped charge accumulates on the surface and deflects the electron beam slightly. You can see this where the edges get increasingly bright because charges gather and become trapped at the boundary of the conductive and insulating layers. The image isn't sharp enough for me to tell if that is poly-silicon or aluminum contact traces.

>This heats up the nanotubes, which then emit visible photons

I'm a bit skeptical that that would work. Otherwise you could build a perpetual motion machine by having the nanotubes in a hot room and running your perpetual motor off a solar cell powered by the light.

My guess is when the article says emit light they mean emit infra red light / radiation rather than visible. The article doesn't really make sense to me - I imagine someone got confused by the physics rather than it being an actual breakthrough in energy generation. I note the article says "propose a way to build" rather than having actually built something that works.
Also from the UK. There is a huge difference in prices between a barber shop (generally for men and boys) and a salon (generally for women and girls).

There is also a huge difference in price expectations between men and women (IME, of course there are differences for any gender) - most men I know expect to pay £5-£15 for a haircut, whereas most women I know expect to pay between £30-75 for a haircut.

At a salon you can get a restyle, shampoo, blow dry and all that stuff, which obviously adds to the time and cost, but even for a very basic trim you're looking at at least twice the cost at a salon vs a barber.

Personally, I cut my own hair with a set of Wahl clippers I've had for something like 20 (!) years. This obviously means I'm restricted to a buzz cut, but I think it suits me and has doubtless saved me a lot of money over the years :)
Any proposed approach to large-scale change that essentially says 'billions of people should just do x', regardless of the nature of x, is dead before it starts. That's not how change works. Contra the simpler-minded pop variants of libertarianism, humans just don't spontaneously decide on their patterns of life. Indeed that we don't is almost as good a definition of what it is to be human as any: we are acculturated beings to our core.

There are a bunch of ways large complex cultures have empirically (historically) been shown to change - via external shocks, leadership, social movements, technological innovation etc. Not one of them involve billions of people all spontaneously deciding to be exceptional (a mathematical impossibility!) and behaving counter-culturally as you might wish. If that's your only hope, we're done.

Americans need to raze their healthcare system down to the ground. None of the bandaid fixes like getting the government to pay but still having private companies dictating the prices. The whole system has to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch, with the state the main owner of hospitals and provider of healthcare. The kind of things that you read about the current system are just absurd, but it's past the financial absurdity at this point, reading about insurance companies literally deciding whether cancer treatment is "strictly necessary" for weeks without approving it is not a healthcare system, it's hell, it's barbarism.
This whole thing is just red meat for his base to address a problem that doesn't exist.

no, but "high traffic forums" are not a "protected class" when it comes to equality.

Not legally, nor morally.

Morally we can argue that there's virtue (or a lot of global positive utility if we use an utilitarian framework) in making sure that there's an open marketplace for ideas, and every idea has opportunity to be "priced". But there's also virtue in keeping that place healthy, sane and constructive. Hate speech, manifestos, slur memes, and other kinds of low-effort content seems to be rather unhealthy for the place.

While at the same time doing a proper academic study on intelligence, brains, genetics, education, socioeconomic status, social mobility, and group dynamics at large is healthy. Context, style, framing is important. Blurting out that "blacks" have lower IQ in some measure might even be true, but that's not really an idea for that marketplace. Connecting the dots, uncovering the causes, the dynamics (noticing that the main driver is not some inherent genetic/cultural inferiority, but simple socioeconomic status due to historical path dependence) - and raising awareness and offering solutions is healthy.

Yes, of course, it's upon us to make a value judgement about what's a virtue, what's healthy. And no wonder some people think that even adopting the Golden Rule (do only what you want others to do, see also Rawl's reflective equilibrium) just means we have to "purge the weak" and that "civilizations are destined to clash". Of course we can't do much with that, other than trying to persuade them AND trying to minimize these voices so they remain a weak but vocal minority. (Hence our choice of idea policing is not just because we happen to think equality and pacifism are virtuous, but because our survival, way of life and so might depend on it.) [And in that way, yes cultures are destined to clash, and we ought to think a pacifist-equalist is the one that should win - nothing to do about it, another value judgement to make.]
I think they have deals with carriers to bulk buy tickets without giving a name. Carrier gets cash upfront (most are desperate for cash). Google gets to play marketmaker.

Do you have any concerns around safety? What kind of safeguards will you put in place? For example, you might ask the user to keep still, but what happens if they suddenly turn/move their head just as the clippers are going in? Personally, I'd be as still as a statue with robotic clippers coming towards my face, but I'm sure people would get used to it eventually and react to loud noises outside, their phone ringing etc.

Unfortunately it's just the way advanced countries work. The society there is not made for people. So people do not have offspring and do not want to live. Although it's quite interesting that South Korea turned unfit for habitation in such a short time.
From my five minute assessment, this is nonsense. I didn't flag it immediately because I wanted to give it the (remote) chance of being legitimate questioning of alarmist articles, but it's just the typical person denying the whole thing.

Please don't spread this around. It's practically a conspiracy theory saying that all actual climate scientists are trying to get us to reduce CO2 for their own ends.

> Dr. Parisi, who spent less than 24 hours in Cancún, was paid $2,700, or three times what he would have received from Medicare, the largest single payer of hospital costs in the United States. Private insurers often base their reimbursement rates on what Medicare pays.

The line of thinking could be different from

> "the consequences of violence-as-a-tool are so unthinkable that I choose to stop thinking."

And instead be something along the lines of.

Admitting exceptions where we allow violence-as-a-tool is more harmful than the harm prevented by violence here. Simply because the consequences of an exception set a precedent that lasts for a long time.

This does involve condemning people to their fate.
Alternatively, you can take the position that sometimes people really should take an action they should simultaneously be condemned for.
Whenever random folks post climate change articles, I like to point them to the official IPCC reports. ;-) The executive summary of the last assessment report is at https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/. It's written for policymakers so it does not assume detailed technical knowledge.

Pardon me for stating a related opinion here - I tend to like to let my thoughts on these things churn around for a few days before expressing opinions rather than scream immediately about the obvious side.

Something that bothers me about this whole trend of "deplatform everyone whose opinion I don't like" - once some person or group is near-universally deplatformed, they become sort of a boogeyman. You can attribute any position you want to them, and they have no way to confirm or deny that they believe that. You can accuse anybody of secretly agreeing with them or being one of them, and there's no good way to refute it. You can claim that they're secretly everywhere and all-present, and there's no data to confirm or deny that. It feels kind of like a 1984 2-minutes-hate thing where you're expected to scream outrage at something that you can't prove even exists in a meaningful way.

If we expand this thought, we get that even the most outrageously extreme opinions should be allowed to exist and operate openly. If only so that there is a real source that anybody can go to in order to see what they really do and do not believe, in their own words. So they can have an authoritative way to be for or against a person or thing or policy. So anybody can create a estimate of how big and influential they really are, based on objective data.

Going further, certain people in power like to have a voiceless boogeyman that they can use to scare everybody with. What better way to get everyone running around in fear, and getting them to get off of their butts and pull that voting lever for your side, or else those scary boogeymen might get them?

Note that this could apply equally well to a number of different things that have been treated this way over the years, including communism, nazi-ism, Islamic terrorism, white supremacy, etc.

Do I seriously believe this and want to go with it? I'm not completely sure right now. I'd like to let it churn around some more and see if anything else comes out.

Don't take it the wrong way, but the intention was to keep our link visible for a little bit of time.

Making a ready-to-manufacture hardware project takes significant more effort than just writing a blog post or recording a video.

Links posted in HN tend to disappear in a matter of minutes from the new and even if you hit the front page hardly anything remains visible for more than a day.

When we launched Solo, our Show HN was taken down because Show HN should be something people can interact with and crowdfunding was not acceptable. We learned it the hard way and this time around we respected the policy and didn't create a Show HN. (For comparison, I'm just looking at Show HN now and there are video projects, that I can't try nor interact with.)

If projects like Solo/Somu, open source, security, and implementing a real-world applications like FIDO2 don't qualify as interesting for a hacker community, I'm more that happy to respect that and not waste anyone's time posting. But if they do, like I think, they should have a way to be showcased properly.
Ok,without diving too deep into this,it seems people commenting on this much like the public at large are assuming what you "talk" on the platform or what information you provide is all or most of what they're collecting and correllating.

I disagree with that assumption, what information you provide explicitly will be used in conjuction with infromation you don't explicitly provide. This builds a somewhat precise trail of information to which you have little privy to. Not only that,people who don't use the platform are also targeted as a result of you referncing them on the platform. ML inference aside,a lot is and could be done with what fingerprinting and implicit data collection being done

I believe linkedin scores worse than even facebook for the amount of data they mine and collect. Linkedin,unlike facebook is in a position to shape and impact people's careers and livelihoods so this should not be treated as a minor problem.

This is also why downloading the data google,facebook and the like collect from you means little. I would like to see what correlations and derivations they've presumed based on that dataset!

You're thinking in the same direction I am.. but I am definitely too far out of my knowledge level to take it much further without sitting down and really working hard on the problem. I'm going off the deep end here into what is probably pop science or science fiction and might not make any sense at all. I wish I understood more about this in detail.

I just always observed that quantum computing was interesting because certain states seemed unpredictable, which is why scientists studying quantum computing struggle when they don't get the expected states. If that unpredictability is actually random due to the function of quantum states, then it would provide a unique tool since true randomness really is not easily found.

And the ability to potentially generate many random/expected states quickly - yes, I was thinking about being able to generate/explore the space faster. Or to use that in logical processing somehow as an advantage.

I have always been fascinated by a simple concept in logic - "maybe". I'm borrowing from "fuzzy logic" a bit here and twisting it the way I wish for my thought process.
If one formalizes "yes","no" and "maybe" (i.e. 0, 1 and something else), can one then make complex logical statements involving probabilities, randomness, etc. by exploiting the "maybe" case.

For example, if I have one of those magic eight-balls, but it represents quantum states - if I can clearly detect 1 or 0 but sometimes I get a 0.5 or a 0.8 unpredictably, how could I use that to my advantage...

Another line of thinking for this is neural networks, another thing which I wonder could be accelerated by quantum computing. If I make the analogy that, as a human with a brain that is like a neural network, when I am faced with inputs that I have not processed before, my brain has to come up with a solution to process it from my various experiences and it might product an output that makes sense, or it might not.

Knowing my own fallibility here, if I know that sometimes I am faced with inputs that I don't know how to process or didn't expect, I can find a logic for how to handle those situations that might let me work around them.
