Everything has a name, but it is generally a “systematic” name[1] rather than a one-off descriptive name. Even DNA is a systematic name for the monomer (de-oxy-ribose-nucleic-acid is one of the defined nucleic acids bound to a ribose sugar missing an oxygen at the 2-position carbon).

Biology uses an enormous space of small molecule structures (to say nothing of proteins, which have their own naming schemes) and few have names you might recognize generally, but all have useful systematic names that biologists and chemists can quickly parse.

As a twist, most systematic naming schemes don’t produce unique labels, so there’s often multiple ways to say the same thing, and different discipline subcultures have different biases in this regard.

Edit: re-reading OP, another interpretation is that they’re asking what percent of molecules in the body aren’t involved in biology. The answer to that is probably something that approximates 0%. At the end of the day, the combined interaction of all of this chemistry is what biology is, and everything is more or less everywhere. (…concentration is everything.)

Having some views that are out of the mainstream, I sympathize that trying to have a good faith argument can be frustrating, but remember it’s generally bad actors and trolls who are most likely to downvote and reply to a post they think they can easily shame. There’s plenty of people who would appreciate a different perspective even if it’s mostly downvotes.

I recommend the excellent documentary “Behind the Curve” for a good look at what happens to people when their views are marginalized. They dig in and develop tunnel vision. The way the lab leak theory for COVID subtly shifted from conspiracy theory to real theory illustrates how important it is not to be dismissive.
"having a robot" is not a problem statement
Could you please show some real-world examples of this practice?
What I wish for a is a simple thing:

- Apps declaring how much space they need

- The OS enforcing that size as the quota.

That's it. There's no need for the OS to figure out how much space to give to apps.

This way, if I install an app that is purportedly a 2GB app, I'll know exactly how much space I'll lose.

If an app needs more space after an update, that update would require a manual approval from the user.

Something tells me that if app developers were required to be honest about their disk usage, and knew that he users would have to agree to a "This app wants 5GB more space after an update, are you OK with that?" prompt, we would not be where we are today.

On top of everything else, I wish Android versions were held to the same standard, and that phones were advertised with the amount of free space available to the user.
> 1) This isn't a recent phenomena. People have been seeing discs in the sky for literally thousands of years.

People have reported talking to ghosts and angels for thousands of years too. People's senses and memory is fallible and can lead to misinterpretations and misunderstanding.

> 2) Aircraft can't make 90 degree turns or descend from 80,000 feet to the deck approximately instantly.

You are assuming that their reports that the objects actually made these movements are indeed correct perceptions of the movements seen.

> 3) Groups of extremely highly trained military pilots have seen them, and the video and IR data has been released from these encounters. You can't make 4 people in 2 aircraft hallucinate at the same time, and fool all the instrumentation on them (radar, IR...) and also fool the battlespace radars on the cruisers directing them. And if you could, that too would be kind of interesting to look at whatever that is.

A lot of conflation going on here. The Nimitz incident did involve 4(?) people, but not at the same time. The radar technician (radar data has not been released) did report seeing multiple objects on the radar, but not much else about them such as the rapid, physics-defying movements reported by the Fravor the pilot who reportedly saw an object with his own eyes. The IR video captured by another pilot also does have reasonable explanations (even including the on-screen display sensor readings) that counteract the claims that the object was moving as fast as they thought it was at the time, or as the video might make it seem.
> surely there'd be massive warning signs (eg. growing cracks) before such a collapse.

There were. I'm not a civil/structural engineer and I don't know how common this kind of thing is.

> One condo owner sued the unit association for failing to fix the cracks in the outside wall of her unit in 2015, according to a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County. The condo owner, who could not be reached for comment, said the cracks led to water damage that cost $15,000. The court documents noted that because the cracks were a structural issue the building association was liable for the expense.

> The condo owner had previously filed a lawsuit against the building association in 2001 due to a similar issue. The two sides settled outside of court, but that kind of cracking is described as “of interest” in the county’s Structural Recertification Form.

I read another article about a resident complaining about cracking near the pool deck.

I'd say Star Citizen is more of a cautionary tale about putting blind faith in someone just because of previous results. Chris Roberts has previously delivered, but in all cases where he has it's been where he's been under someone else's direction.

Without someone to constrain him he tends to constantly expand the scope of his projects. If people knew about his involvement in the debacle that was Starlancer/Freelancer then they would've seen this coming.

So no, it's not a matter of being 'too ambitious'. It's a matter of shifting the goalposts and expanding the scope of your project to the point that it never actually ships. When he had someone to stop him from doing that he delivered. Without that, he just keeps soaking up money as long as people will enable that behavior.
Population is the big one. 7 billion people today means we have many times more opportunities for viruses to come up, combine, and mutate than we once did. I'm not sure which is the bigger phenomenon.

IMO "monopoly" is possibly an outdated idea.

The real problem here is the natural preferential attachment that emerges with tech companies at this scale.

"A preferential attachment process is any of a class of processes in which some quantity, typically some form of wealth or credit, is distributed among a number of individuals or objects according to how much they already have, so that those who are already wealthy receive more than those who are not."

I don't know how we deal with this in the modern world. IMO we need to at least start with network science on the table and realize we do not have the answers if using outdated ideas.
Hi, this looks interesting to me, but am I correct that it doesn't support image data?

I spotted a typo in the README: "63 different machine learning model in igel" should say "models".

The feature "Supports all state of the art machine learning models" seems absurd. How could it possibly be true? Surely there are many SOTA models not in SKLearn?
I have a feeling that Microsoft is abundantly aware of the value proposition of the new .NET ecosystem.

C# has always been a good systems programming language. NET Core/5/6+ have just taken that to a new dimension with x-platform and better tooling.

The best thing about the MS stack is that it is built for the 8000lb gorilla projects (I.e. their own internal stuff). If you have a unicorn solution that has 2000 projects and requires 36 hours to build, visual studio, msbuild (dotnet build) are the things you want to be relying on to get you through the day.
One nice feature of the PS3 is that it has analog video output and plays PS1 games (and PS2 if you have a launch model.) I still think PS1/2 games look best on a CRT, as do 1990s-era PC games. Even modern games look pretty great on a CRT, which is why 16:9 CRTs command high prices.
> you can always choose to ignore the extra information.

Can you?

That is to say: you can try, but I don't think most people are very good at consciously choosing not to think or worry about something that they know, if that's even possible.
I've heard the revelation "that art was specifically drawn knowing it would ultimately pipe through a CRT" quite a few times now. It's becoming a meme.

It makes it sound like artists sat down and specifically about colour bleed, and blurry edges, and designed the artwork while thinking about the mechanics of CRT monitors in an academic way.

In reality, every monitor was a CRT. They just drew what looked good on their development devices.

"All of Europe had been what you were describing for 300 years or so. But by the time the US came along, that spirit was starting to fade. So what they did quite literally was put all their money in the US. The way JP Morgan got established was that his father Junius Morgan ran the leading merchant bank in London, and then set up his son Pierpont to run a correspondent bank in New York, and the two of them basically funneled money from the UK to the US to build everything in what was known as the Second Industrial Revolution."

The money was not as important as the workers, thinkers, raw materials. The prior civil war era was a period of massive industrial output, despite the government simply throwing legal tender into circulation without obtaining gold from Europe, and the destruction of huge quantities of wealth in the war. The railroads and war effort required business to organize the transportation and production of large quantities of material wealth which lead to a greater focus on industrial profits, rather than hollow financial profits from real estate speculation. The later form of investment is 'hollow' because the procedure is a M -> M' paper gain which does not produce any material goods or fixed capital as a side effect.

European investors had been investing money in America since 1600s, primarily to engage in real estate speculation on western lands, what was important in industrialization is that there was a shift in investment from real estate speculation to industrial development. The driver of the shift was industrialists like Andrew Carnegie who were involved in the war effort.

To promote industrial investment without militarism it's primarily a matter of reducing large after-tax total returns and access to credit for financial speculators obtaining hollow M -> M' gains relative to industrial investors.
> The network's design has several flaws, most importantly no way for any central authority to completely delete posts

Notice that HN mods can completely delete posts, but never do so (or at least, not without the target’s permission). Flag, yes, delete, no.

I think it’s a cool distinction, and hopefully future social networks will take a cue from it. Being able to see what’s going on (showdead) felt like an important diff from Reddit, and avoided much of the “un-edit Reddit” wars. (There are sites dedicated to tracking deletions by moderators.)
It is fundamentally an issue of separatism, and associated violent extremism/terrorism. The idea that it is some kind of "race war" is a pure fantasy of race realist Westerners.
I had an older android phone with 512MB. Which fit what it needed, until the google docs apps all started to get bigger and bigger. But I could fix that to some extent by moving them to the system partition.

My current phone is nicer in many ways but it doesn't really do anything the very old phone couldn't.
Come on, man.

Remember those guys last year who would drive around buying up all the masks, selling them online for 10x? You don't know why everybody hated them? This is why:

The original seller has a reputation to protect and doesn't want to be seen as taking advantage. Maybe it's a musician who would rather sell to kids who are willing to wait in line than to whoever has the most money. Maybe a pharmacy selling masks in 2020. The arbitrage opportunity is for somebody with no reputation or scruples, who chooses to see themselves as just an Angel of the Free Market. To everyone else, he's a jerk.
meh. It’s just the same response by a different color: the hard and useful problem doesn't get solved since google avoids it with mono repo meanwhile everyone writing real open source software has to endure half baked garbage until some future proposal comes around and attempts to clean up the mess. Turns out it’s still hard so let’s write another tool, that should fix it! More deflection and proposals ensue on the new tool.
Couple interesting ideas and terms here:

* "vetocracy" - the rule of those who say no. Andreessen says it contributed to IBM's obsolescence. Happening now to the USA.

* Related to: Why don't we solve carbon emissions with nuclear fission? Totally fair question.

* The Internet saved the economy during the COVID lockdowns. (I think that's pretty plausible.)
Your complaint seems to be with the US healthcare system and not psychology.
What I’m saying is that it will potentially also help revenue in the long term, and that “customer ill will” won’t actually spread and turn away customers at any noticeable scale.
It seems to be a language issue. A 'landfill' is a trash dump, while 'land fill' is a form of reclamation.

>I feel like you just described email (or rather, "the" email spec, as if there was a single one) in general.

But the concept of email is extremely useful, valuable, understandable, and it's standardized and out of the centralized control so common for anything developed these days. I'd be happy to see some sort of email 2.0, cleaned up, with modern encryption by default and so on that served as a replacement. But I don't know of anybody even proposing such a thing. Instead the rage is to create yet another fucking instant messenger or slack thing or whatever.

Everyone knows the spec is ancient and has had a lot grafted onto it. But it's not going anywhere without a good replacement and even with that the transition would take a very, very long time. So as is so very, very often the case in computing we just have to deal with that.
Measuring things is important, but turning them into a target is a disaster. The term KPI is generally used when the measure is a target.
The lack of the ICU library. As you mention it, I searched around and found setting "export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=true" could solve the problem. I stand corrected. Nonetheless, adding an env variable is still an extra step especially when the dotnet cli doesn't tell you what to do. An enduser has to google around to find the answer.
Yeah, the parent seems to think that GOPATH has something to do with pulling from GitHub and that modules implies some central repository which isn't the case at all. If you use modules, you're also pulling from GitHub directly in most cases, although nowadays there is a public caching proxy in the middle IIRC. And in both cases you could/can use private repositories.
Sorry, we replaced that old technology, “see-through glass”
Different of course, but virtual machines do this.

This is all jurisdictional of course, but typically something like that. More complex the project, the more levels of review.

It is an extremely dumb mistake. There are many optical illusions that make almost everyone observe things that are not true. Machines are susceptible to similar kinds of errors.

To name it an object (for most people this means a physical object) is creating a wrong frame of mind. The first focus should be on the observation and the way it was observed.
“The thing to notice is cameras have become much more prevalent and much higher resolution, but "UFOs" in pictures haven't.”

Microsoft wants to add Steam and EGS to the new Windows store
C# native interop is very, very nice.

However, the build/package system for this is still a complete mess if you want to target more than one architecture; I've spent much of the week looking at the question of how to make cross-platform assembly A depend on platform-specific assembly B, where B is one of B-win or B-mac, and it seems to require carefully hand building B into a nuget package.

I'm coming to appreciate msbuild, though. Or maybe that's Stockholm syndrome.

> lucky buyers were hit with better performances

Sort of. The WD Red drives outperformed actual 5400 drives but underperformed other 7200 drives by a large margin (180MB/s vs. 230MB/s), while not necessarily offering heat or noise benefits that matched. My current 8x8TB WD Red Unraid build will likely be the last WD drives I buy for a long time.
I would love to see that hacked ISO be based on LTSC and then further de-bloated and all the telemetry code removed. Bonus points if it looks like XP and uses sub 200MB ram. I would pay for that ISO if Microsoft were so inclined to make one.
You've broken the site guidelines, which say: "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead." a.k.a. please don't feed the trolls. Obviously that should go double, at least, when the user is already banned and the comment is killed. Turning a dead comment by a banned user into an off-topic distraction and even starting a flamewar about it as you've basically done here, is an abuse in its own right. Please don't do anything like that on HN again.

It's also a bad bet to assume that a trollish account isn't aware that they're banned here; the majority are perfectly well aware, and most have created many accounts and been banned many times. They continue to post with banned accounts as a way of continuing to spew into the forum and troll the minority of users who have 'showdead' turned on.

Correct! I didn't think it was worthwhile making the distinction but there's a separate interface that the power company can control that switches the A/C. I think (been a while since I paid attention to it) that it only controls the compressor: the blower is still allowed to run independently.
The point is that if you were serious about fixing the spelling stuff, you'd put it into a single patch and not break it apart.

From my desk in a residential but dense area I can see 60-70 meters at any given time with a usb sdr.

Water meters in our area do the same, but since it is near the street and below-grade I can only see a few of those.

After having looked around for a while in disbelief, I now filter the capture from the SDR to just the ids of my meters. And I accept the fact that someone sufficiently-motivated could figure out when we're on vacation based on the broadcast consumption values...

If anyone is looking for a good CRT filter, I very highly recommend GTU v0.50 by aliaspider.

Unlike some filters, GTU doesn't try to mimic CRTs with complete accuracy. Instead, it's like an idealized CRT tuned for pixel art, and IMO the results are shockingly good.
That doesn't really invalidate the point, and doesn't change the part where it looks different (and not necessarily as intended) on non-CRTs, or that they considered some of those aspects when they designed the art.
No source code.

Um, what? The degree to which a metric is directly tied to incentives absolutely impacts how much that metric will be gamed. It is not trite at all to caution that metrics that are critical to understanding your business should remain as decoupled as possible from incentives. This allows you to maintain the quality of the signals your metrics provide.

This isn't just theory. This is precisely why there are laws that prohibit rewarding people based on how they voted.

Out of curiosity, what did you parse? Since in I imagine copying things is quite useful sometimes when generating an AST.
