SpaceX doesn't have the same requirements--The radiation environment by Mercury or halfway to Jupiter is drastically different than LEO.

SpaceX missions are also a lot shorter. Having one unrecoverable latchup a week isn't a big deal if your mission is 2 weeks long. If you mission is 10 years, it starts to become a problem (especially since some radiation damage can be cumulative)

NASA and DOD have also been sending up Xilinx and Altera boards for ages (even the non space-grade ones). However you can get rad-hard ARM CPUs that are cheaper and more powerful than the ones in a Zynq board.

For drugs, it depends on your social status. It’s not unheard of for cops getting caught planting drugs on low status individuals to justify an arrest. Turning off your camera and “finding” a bag of heroin is often enough to secure a conviction, since juries trust cops.

Right now the "similar books" thing is based on a "topic-model"...

So books are more likely to be similar if they're roughly in the same genre and discuss similar kinds of topics (dragons, computers, romance, spies, war, shopping, time-travel, magic, hunting, etc).

Someday I hope the "similar books" feature will be a bit more sophisticated, where other kinds of "similarity" will also be relevant, beyond just the topic-model... Other things like: story structure, narrative voice, irony, vocabulary, sense-of-humor, lyricisim, etc...

I didn't miss it. I bought in way back in March and April, and I documented it here. The guy I was arguing with was trying to tell me that what I was doing was just a matter of luck:

After I wrote that (in May 2020), I raised my position even further to 85% of my holdings. All in all, I took $100k and turned it into $550k (and rising).

Opportunities come and go, and you often have to see several of them before you're in the right position to take a swing. When Apple was a huge opportunity, I didn't have any money! My dad didn't have much either, and I leaned on him to buy an iMac way back in 2001. That $1299 would have been worth $698,467.54 in Apple stock today.

No it doesn't. Viruses have been around longer than humans have, so NOTHING HAS CHANGED. We have been through SMALLPOX, TUBERCULOSIS, SPANISH FLU, PLAGUE, AIDS, and many, many other pandemics and NEVER, EVER has anyone been insidious enough to suggest a vaccine as a prerequisite for human rights. You need to reevaluate your logic and life choices. This disease already has a 99.9% survival rate for the general population and much higher in certain demographics.

At any rate, government tyranny has killed millions and millions more than viruses have. And I won't stand for it. Medical tyranny will never be tolerated. If YOU want the vaccine, you get it. That's how liberty works.

Correct. To be specific, instead of providing a unique address per deposit, Coinbase instead provides one address, and identifies individual deposits to that address using a Stellar "memo." The same issue is present with Ripple.

This isn't a problem with Stellar itself, but more how Coinbase decides to approach the issue. But Stellar does require a 0.5 XLM commitment to "open" an account on-chain, which is probably what holds Coinbase back.

Otherwise, Stellar is a very reliable and focused chain, and has a stable fee market (which means a lot these days!).
The problem is that emphasizing the details also feeds back into the politicization. It would be like responding to political bias at the DMV by having every clerk wear a little badge saying which party they are: there might be a few people who will use that information to better investigate and detect bias, but a lot of people are going to see the political labelling and conclude it's just a deliberately political function of government.

And I don't think this is an abstract hypothetical; I've seen an increasing number of people in recent years dismiss even the aspiration to a nonpartisan judiciary as silly and naive.

Excuse me, that's nonsense in the case of the 737 MAX.

MCAS problems were known in advance by Boeing factory pilots. They sent each other sms messages about it, for which one Boeing manager was fired.

The certification paperwork filed with the FAA misrepresented the MCAS behavior, under-reporting the rate and number of pitch downs.

MCAS was designed to rely on a single AoA sensor, which was external and subject to damage from jetways, birds and weather.

And the software was outsourced to a low bidder paying programmers $15/hour. We'll see how that works for safety-critical aerospace software.

But the most sinister thing is that this all resulted from a contractual item - that Boeing would have to pay Southwest $1 million per plane that required re-training. So any concerns about safety were side-stepped to meet that perverse incentive.
No MCAS is not active with autopilot, because it's not needed. MCAS is there in manual flight to give the human pilot a specific "feel" to the control column forces at high angles of attack. Autopilot doesn't need that.
I tried telling people about this back in April and May, but few bothered to listen to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22970810
the article mentions seizures with the OTC deficiency treatment based on mRNA. that got me searching;

https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20201209/uk-a...

here it says that UK authorities advise that people with a history of allergic reactions may not get the mRNA based vaccine, as they may get an anaphylactic event. Now wikipedia says that this is a potentially serious condition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis

Now I am confused, https://www.aafa.org/allergy-facts/ says that some 50 million people in the US suffer from some kind of allergies, does that imply that 15% of the population can't get the mRNA vaccine? Now would that figure have any implications on the effectiveness of vaccination? Should people with allergies get a different kind of vaccine? Many questions remain.

I don't see a public discussion of these issues.

Is there much of that middle class in Europe, though? My definition of "middle class" is "someone with substantial savings, almost enough to not work" and I suppose that there isn't much left from 50k after food and housing bills are paid.
i like clear and concise naming and don't care too much about how long it is generally if it helps understand what it does without being extraneously verbose. However, i think there is an argument to be made about how long a single line of code should be before it becomes too hard to read. The example given would be too long for me and i would try to shorten it. In this case probably by implementing some abstraction ;)
Structural racism severely impacts the health of foreign-born Blacks and Latinx
Design patterns aren't data structure though, I agree with the rest of your statement.

OO Design patterns are usually about implementing functional concepts into rigid OOP languages such as C++ or Java (though both languages have gotten better).

With first class functions, there is no need for factories or strategies, or commands or a lot of stuff that imply single method classes.

With pattern matching, there is no need for chains or responsibility and so on and so forth...

For this concern to make sense, people would have to go around easily inventing good abstractions all the time, but having great trouble naming them. That seems so implausible to me. If you can't name it, that's almost certainly because it sucks.
If you hosted a mail server, would you really want an ever increasing number of mail servers hitting your mail server for invalid email addressess for an indeterminate period of time? The 5xx error code you are returning can't be trusted, after all.

I may have had an axe to grind when TiDB didn't fit our workload so I apologize for being over the top there. You have good marketing, but I'm wary of companies like yours that maintain such a pervasive social media influence.

I have to say, I'm rather concerned for Intel and AMD.

The magic of the M1 is not just the hardware, but also the software of MacOS.

Putting everything together on the M1 chip, the CPU / GPU / Neural Engine, and allowing all those to share memory, seem to be from where much of the magic comes. The further optimization of MacOS to leverage all that helps as well.

AMD already has a lot of experience with high-speed interconnects. They already have a lot of experience with APUs. I wonder if it'd be possible for Microsoft and AMD to enter some sort of partnership whereby the optimize Windows in the same way MacOS has been optimized.

I really fucking hate Apple. I hate their walled garden approach. I hate their "trendiness". So I have a small bit of self-loathing that I own the base model new Mac Mini, but I can't allow my seething hatred for the company to cloud my judgment when it comes to using the fastest and most productive platform for my work, and, I'm sorry to say, this little $699 machine outperforms my Ryzen 9 3900X w/ 32 GB of RAM and an RX 5700XT for most tasks. I still game on this machine, but most productivity work has been relegated to the Mac Mini now.

Learning MacOS has been frustrating, but also kinda fun.
At this stage "nailing it down" means creating a good protocol that can be standardised upon.
This is what the tech world cannot do any longer since it became driven by market forces. Market is not the right process for building good standards, the closest it can grow is monopoles.
Committees are admittedly not the panacea either.

The pickle switch overrides the MCAS command, meaning it can be used to restore normal trim. Then, the trim system can be turned off via the console cutoff switches.
Just my own tin-foil observation: the prices of components in much demand tens to remain much higher than the original anounced price for years.
Scalpers cannot account for that.
Surely Nvidia is actually chatging premium prices as well and blames it on scalpers and unexpected demand.
Nvidia just tricks the world with the low announced price, bates and then switches, realtors do that all the time.
There will be a top post on HN advocating this approach any second now.

You are right, the past may not indicate the future. In any case, mass higher education is a new thing, probably only from the late 19th century. It may also happen that the scale of university education will go down, while universities survive.
Sorry, I was mixing terms. You need to send classical information over the wire, but you're also sending photonic qubits thru fiber, just not as a communication method. The fiber is how you get the entangled qubit to the other side of the network (entangled qubits are generated together). But again, this is not how you are communicating information. Technically this doesn't need to happen over fiber, you just need to somehow have entangled qubits in two separate locations, and obviously if we're talking about entangled photons, fiber is probably the best way to separate them.

Information is communicated once the entangled photon has reached the other side of the network, at which point a measurement at one end of the network is made and communicated (classically). Once again though, the purpose of the classical bits is not actually to send information, but rather because any measurement of one part of the entangled system results in its collapse (Copenhagen interpretation), and thus a collapse of the entangled quantum system as a whole. So if you have a quantum computer doing some calculation with qubits and those qubits have been entangled with others at the other side of the network, you can perform measurements on the qubits at one end and this will collapse the qubits at the other end. This would not be possible to do as you'd expect from classic digital stuff, where you can just send the info over the wire.

The distance is limited because of fidelity loss in fiber - you actually need your single photonic qubit (entangled with another qubit at the source) to make it from one end of the network to the other. In order to extend the range you can use quantum repeaters, which are effectively just a sequence of entanglements.

As an aside, higher quality fiber made in microgravity (ZBLAN) could also help bring these transmission distances up.
It would be nice if you could just pay the government a percentage of the shares themselves as a tax, rather than a percentage of a guessed-at illiquid value.

I'm sure the government would have a lot more paperwork to do holding onto all these random shares, but the benefits from simplifying and de-risking equity offers would outweigh that many times over.

No, he's talking about reality, and you're talking about the mirror-image of reality.

The CCP engaged in "elite capure" with Hunter Biden, while Joe Biden and his advisors stood by.

The libs are hypocrites. See above.

Obama's failure to honor our treaty with the Philippines over Scarborough Shoals resulted in the 9-dash line takeover of the South China Sea, resulting in the largest military buildup in the region since WW2. And none of our treaty allies trust us now.

It appears HN readers have no idea how far off course US politicians and elites are. When journalists from Venezuela and Colombia come to the US and say, "It's just like home." then you know there's a serious problem.

Companies like Zoom are probably 5th column-like entities. Had someone told me something like this just a couple of years ago I would have called that person crazy or paranoid, but the latest moves from the CCP have cemented that belief for me.

Again, I was almost totally against Tik Tok's de facto nationalisation ordered by the Trump administration, but seeing executives like this one acting on the orders of the CCP as part of a huge IT company lead by a Chinese citizen (and I now presume also a CCP asset himself) has reversed that belief for me.

There is a version of Windows 10 made just for China to remove all the surveillance because China thought Windows 10 was such an invasion of privacy and security risk that they wouldn’t use it otherwise. Think about that when you’re falling asleep at night.

Yes, they do. That is a feature, not a bug. It gives digital transactions the same properties as cash. When you hand over $50K in cash to someone, you better make sure you trust that someone. When you send $50K in crypto to an address, you better make sure you trust that address. People have to learn new habits and precautions with crypto. With great power comes great responsibility.

Maybe the UI for wallets should do more to defend against erroneous sends, or warn the user to make a test transaction before sending large amounts? A lot more can be done with UX.
The China border was “closed” yet we had tens of thousands of Chinese travelers enter the US straight after the closure.

And the European border “closing” was so badly managed that it almost certainly seeded the massive outbreak in the NorthEast in the initial phase by causing hundreds of super spreader events daily in airports across the northeast as people all tried to return from Europe within the same few days and the airports were completely unprepared to handle them safely.

Could you share some links on this? I’ve heard talks on using Nanopore for pathogen surveillance, but they were mostly about the ability to spit out reads once you knew what they were. Also, I sit (depending on restriction level) next to a nanopore lab, and they’re pretty consistent about nanopore not being good for single base resolution.

Maybe this could be a case with a lot of amplification, so you have many squiggles to infer a consensus from?

This idea that "We are not gods." Such a peculiar argument. If something is capable by a mortal man what makes you think it has god-like qualities? To me it is the opposite. Also since you're using the word "gods" are you referring to polytheism? Where did you decide you were capable of determining a "god-like" thing? You. Are. Confusing. Me.
