> I'll just prescribe what I normally do, since I'm comfortable with it

This is actually something that drives me absolutely nuts about doctors in the UK (I presume they are the same elsewhere) - inertia.

It's like doctors leave medical school with "best practices" about what they should prescribe - like they are glorified, human decision trees - and then across their 40-year career, they never read a paper, never read any new guidance, and general never change.

Inertia seems to be a particular problem in the NHS, where doctors have a set list they are willing to prescribe. Why? Because it's what they've prescribed previously, so they are "comfortable" with it. You can see there is a bit of a "chicken and egg problem" with other medications.
> I sort of love that the AI prefers solid gray over any sort of creativity or complexity

Well that's this specific AI...

> A preview of... gray goo!

We are the gray goo, or rather: our ecosystem is. A flood of self-replicating machines that took over the planet a long time ago, eating everything. If we introduced a new kind of nanite-based life that actually managed to devour our ecosystem (which is probably more challenging than it sounds, given that there are real thermal limits on how fast such molecular disassemblers can work), I'm "optimistic" that they would differentiate into another complex ecosystem over time as well.
How many times do you google something? 100 times per day? 200? I'm certainly in that neighborhood on most days. If the search results are even just slightly worse, say costing a second more to scan, or - worse - you spend time visiting irrelevant results before finding what you are after, that's an enormous time sink.

Throwing out any other google service but search is easy. Yet there is basically nothing that google can do in terms of business practices, that would make me go "that's it, I'll just have to settle for these worse search results". So while I usually tend to argue the importance of integrity, it turns out I'm not ready to give up even a few minutes every day for this cause.
That's good. I still cannot see the repository, though. I may be looking in the wrong place.

It's no problem being new to a language, I just found the conclusions as bit too 'conclusive', so to speak, in that case.

Views should definitely not slow this down, so there may be something off. Could you perhaps share some dummy input arrays? Can I generate them with rand, perhaps, if you can tell me the sizes?
Dry ice is indeed routine, but I think usually used to ship things which need to stay below -10C, not below -60C. So there has been some work in figuring out better shipping boxes, tracking devices, procedures for breaking down large shipments at the airport, etc. But the layer of guys driving trucks around town is of course the same.
Just correlate with the latest user who logged on from that IP?
You are so right, it hurts. There is nothing I would like more the to be an avid fan boy of Signal but it is just not ready for prime time.

I have used it for years, and the people and topics discussed there are specific. Just like they are even more specific in Threema. That is when you do (not) care for the lack of features since the return is worth it.

Not sure if I am (socially) capable of leaving WhatsApp.
Fortunately the cost of migrating to a competitor is often not much greater than the cost of migrating to Google's newer offering, e.g. Tensorflow->Tensorflow2 vs Tensorflow->Pytorch, or Angular->Angular2 vs Angular->React.
>If you judge others based on what they read you better meet your own standards, that's all I'm saying.

I don't judge any particular person, much less one I'm involved in argument with, for that to be an ad-hominen.

I also don't abstracty judge people in general/in toto (e.g. morally, or in some such capacity) I judge their literacy/culture etc.

For this purpose, "what you read" has historically been even better than a mere correlation / proxy (being "well read" having been an essential attribute of culture).
I mean I wasn't against the licence fee until they invaded my privacy detecting the purchase of a new TV and started sending me threatening letters under the guise of "TV Licencing" which is a sub-brand they use to harass people to protect the image of the BBC.

You could first make a simple labeler for these contrived problems, then you use your trained algorithm and correct it on problems of increasing complexity.
Regarding geometry and Noether's theorem, I disagree. That stuff is way overblown in general, it gives you very little ( in classical mechanics) for the time and page count the subject requires. I had a lecture on this topic from enthusiast well-respected physicist, and I kept thinking, this stuff is interesting math but completely useless to a physicist.

I was horrified when I read that line too. I have this crazy idea that most doctors go into the medical profession because they want to help people - her attitude is awful, IMO.
The idea is that life starts on one planet and can spread from there to other planets (for example on rocks ejected through volcanic activity). We have found Martian rock on earth [1]

I find the wording here fascinating. Is watching a live stream over the YouTube app on my TV 'live TV'? Is watching a UFC event on the UFC app? What about the website?

What is TV? Is a monitor? A monitor with an aerial? Video content transmitted over certain bands?

how would one be able to tell the difference when amped up on adrenaline or after having hit "the wall" at 30-35km during a long distance run?

I've run ultras before and not long ago crossed the Alps on foot with nothing but a tent and good cheer.

The thing that would always make me stop is issues with slow-tissue (bones, joints etc). Not because "I feel this is the right think to do", but my body isn't leaving me any other choice. Ofc assuming the decision to stop or keep going isn't influenced by peer pressure.

I've once come home with bleeding nipples (chafed by a new white Asics running top) so badly that it looked like I had been shot on the trail and the bleeding wouldn't even stop in the shower. It was pain far worse than a sprained ankle or broken leg.

In your analogy I'd consider a sprained ankle "bad" pain while the chafed nips "good pain". Severity of pain might not be the most reliable indicator in mid-range pain levels. But it's always reliable when it dominates over a strong will. Basically you always know when you're _done_. Peer pressure is a dangerous cloud in judgement here which is why I hate doing these things competitively or with friends (one always ends up the sparing partner of the other).
Not sure what was meant in the article, but Isp is not the same as efficiency. Also, high Isp is not desirable for a power-limited spacecraft such as cubesats because the input power scales with the square of Isp.

The efficiency of an electric thruster is a measure of the losses related to ionization energy, beam divergence, beam temperature etc. In theory Isp and efficiency are therefore orthogonal, though Low-Isp devices indeed tend to have a lower efficiency due to higher ionization-to-kinetic energy ratio.
I'd just call up Jeff Bezos and let him figure it out. He's the best guy in the world at effective and efficient distribution.

Ugh, you poor people need to get your own hydro dam - simple.

In all seriousness, its hard for people to understand the values required and how scary those numbers in reality are.

Petrol is great source of energy as it relatively non-violent, only compressed and combusted it will explode.

Batteries on the other side are outright terrifying. Google people stabbing their phone batteries and see how violently they discharge. Scale that 4000mAh phone battery to the electric car.

I would be terrified if something went wrong with charging station that could do a under 10mins charges. Materials getting older a crack in insulation and you are toasted.

Not the parent, but I switched to Fastmail. It was the only one that provided large enough storage quotas for my Gmail inbox at a reasonable price. 5€/month for 30GB of storage + domain aliases + native iOS application.

Protonmail is SuperSecure and all that, but they only have 5GB of storage and for the 4€/month account, getting it close to 30GB would be 6x that. (The quota was much lower when I evaluated the services around 4-5 years ago)
40 hours and not a single mention of the fact that the chat interface on signal is far less condensed than WhatsApp (you get 3-4 messages+ a thumbnail per screen on signal to WhatsApp's 7-8). This compounds the difficulty of telling which user is commenting when the only identifying thing on the screen is the color of the message.

Signal does much better embeds though, and the call quality is pristine.
IIRC, ancient PKZip uses a very weak encryption algorithm that isn't well supported by modern cracking programs. If you're interested, though, I'd be happy to take a shot at it.
This. The biggest change in my life came when I started to notice the times that I felt good.
The point I was making was there was no plausible way the shuttle could have been designed so it would have been successful.
>I wouldn't say "with nothing happening". Something would definitely happen. If you're OJ Simson and the prosecution botches your case, then sure "nothing happened"

OJ did it himself. A millionaire/billionaire could outsource this in tons of different ways, including totally untracable.

In some historical cases (including in western countries, never mind a place like e.g. Mexico) they could even get the police to do that for them...
See, simple HN comment, solid reasoning, no contradictions. No Google service installed anywhere. Is that so hard?

To a certain point I'd even agree. Google products often lack a certain love for details. Their apps sometimes feel like MVPs that aren't nice to use, which in turn leads to them abandoning them.
I don't want to derail anything. Also disclaimer that I'm not religious.

Off topic: This reminds me of what annoys me about "Intelligent Design" vs science.

It's always about how the Earth is 6000 years old, he/she/they created all animals separately with no evolution, etc, etc.

And likewise what came before the big bang? Ultra dense, hot steady state? And before that?

While If I were any denominational god, I'd have created the rule set and frameworks for the entire system and then boot it up.

Why can't "god" have created the big bang, evolution, the physics ruleset and just let it play out?

Of course we'll never get the answer to any of that before (or not) the inevitable event horizon of death, but I don't get the antagonism within the evangelical movement... other than the obvious loss of power to secularity and science/agnosticism.

Well, "SWIFT" international bank transactions require up to 5 work days. Here in Germany, sending money from one bank to another still takes at least one up to three _work_ days. So in the worst case, you're wiring money to sb on Friday and he will receive it by Wednesday. Compare that to 10 minutes required by Bitcoin anywhere on the planet.

Of course, there are special purpose banking products to accelerate transactions but they are also more expensive than Bitcoin's miner fee.
I agree with Turkey's position here.
I love this article. I haven't hiked that far, but I've hiked very long and high single days, and have taken quite a few falls that have seemingly caused long-term foot damage where every time I set my foot down for the first time in a day, it feels like my arch collapses. I think it's an incredible mental challenge one must go through to do something like the author talks about, but I do wonder if it's not distinguishable from applying the same mental game to something like doing boring intellectual tasks. Such as a boring programming job for a company you hate. In both cases, it never occurs to me to quit, and the same force drives me to keep trying until it gets better or it ends. But pushing yourself with your brain to do the mechanical process of taking steps seems much more within reach than using your brain to make your brain do something it's not going to do. For me, once a task is knowable, predictable, or just very routine, my brain seems to cloud over with a haze, and my ability to see through it is like shining highbeams at fog in the middle of the night. With hiking, taking a step forward is always progress, but with software engineering, the next step is a mental hurdle that might just not happen, no matter how much you've learnt to suffer.

> How is that subtext not correct here?

The grammar is a little bit hard to parse in the original article, and I don't know the cultural context, so I don't so much have AN interpretation as a probabilistic cloud of possible interpretations.

The thing I would remember when reading anything like this is how much language means different things in different cultures:

1) Words like "racism," "white supremacy," "gaslighting," and "abuse" get tossed around a lot in younger, ultra-liberal circles. If I call someone conservative in their fifties a white supremacist, I won't be welcome back ever again. If I'm talking to a liberal 20-something, we're both expected to accept our white supremacy.

2) Positive / negative language varies between cultures. If an Eastern European says something is mediocre, they mean it's typical. If an American says the same, they mean it's bad. Some cultures use language in ways which are hyper-positive, and others, in ways which are hyper-negative. Acceptable degree of exaggeration varies too.

I recently had a "friendly" lawyer for an adversarial party provide me with some "friendly" legal advice (which was specifically that I had no case, and would be out both sides' legal fees if I went to court, and so on). They were lying. I knew that, and they knew that. This was an attorney for a megacorp, where I filed an arbitration complaint as a typical consumer (so they probably didn't know that I knew that they were lying).

With filters for how the author might be using language -- well within the norms of some cultures I've interacted with -- I didn't see this as going far beyond "If an opposing counsel tells you that you have no legal case, they might be lying to you."

The arguments you make are orthogonal to the discussion whether TV fees should be protection money or based on actual TV ownership.

Classical mechanics is ultimately just masturbation compared to the "real thing", it's all a warm-up for the mind rather than teaching you how to calculate stresses on a beam - Full on symplectic geometry is niche but the basics of Noether's theorem and symmetries are central to classical and quantum field theories which are ultimately the language in which the cutting edge of fundamental physics speaks.

So I sort of agree, but take the two Oxford books on QFT and Statistical physics - they pack in enormous amounts of detail in a 3 or 4 hundred pages. There's room to spare if the book is the right shape.

I suggest giving Searx[1] a try.

It returns search results from most search engines, it's highly configurable and trivial to self host. There are some hiccups here and there, but it's well maintained and issues are quickly resolved.

Besides the combined search results, a big positive for me is having a simple and consistent UI, free of A/B tests, ads or the concern that it may change some day because some overpaid design team discovered a change that maximizes engagement.
