You’re missing my point.

You say
“ It obviously doesn't help that everyone assumes people like me to be stupid, again, due to my lack of pedigree”. I am telling you with 100% certainty this is false. People do not think like this.

You should seek therapy to challenge these assumptions you hold.

If I can give you one more anecdotal evidence my partner works at Amazon. I make more than them by over 100K. I do not care, I do not view them any differently. My partner is also proud of their job and likes it. They are smarter than me, it’s just through various circumstances I got a higher paying job. They actually don’t want to leave Amazon right now. They are not depressed that I make more than them. I also try and model my life after them because I view them as more successful than me at life.

Also your friends sound crazy it they are going on trips that you cannot afford on 200K salary. You can definitely afford a few trips to Hawaii a year. Also going out to eat, movies, shopping, camping, hanging out, video gaming etc. are all activities you could do year round on your salary.

I’m done talking back and forth but if I could give you one last message. Use Amazon’s insurance to see a therapist (my partner does and it’s covered). Show them your hacker news comments. Just see what they say. I promise you, you will feel better about these thoughts a few months in the future if you do.

That’s systems leads to compromises and quod pro quos. That’s not as likely with just one nation state.

If Country A wanted strong privacy laws and Country B wanted strong surveillance laws, and both have a veto, then you’ll get paralysis or a compromise.

Right now it seems the EU has neither strong encryption as the norm nor a massive surveillance system. Just what one would expect when any nation can veto a law.

Now that the UK is independent, it no longer has the paralysis/compromise/status quo dilemma.

Nah, I’m in coastal California. The last frost here was in the 1990s, last time it snowed was the 1930s. Think I’ll be okay.
But by the very act of making their code bsd, they have removed any valid excuse to whine. Anything that happens is just a natural consequence of their decision: whether that be someone making bank on your code without giving you any of the changes back or GPL projects GPLifying a fork of you.
Thanks for the insights, though let's remember that research is just a first step. This isn't a product being announced for the market. If we looked at the original research behind a lot of mature technology, we'd find the state of the technology to be similarly far from from production.

Now others can try to reproduce it, refine it, find other methods of producing the same reactive oxygen species, find substitutes that are more effective or cheaper, etc.

It doesn't have to be panacea either. Maybe it will fill a niche. It could save some lives.
What are we letting physicians tell us? That the body is complex? GP didn't mention anything about it being an art
Make it into a tea. I've consumed mushrooms as a tea and raw and definitely enjoy the tea much more. Tastes better, the recipe I've had uses honey, and is much easier on the stomach (if you easily get nauseous, this is the way to go).
It's what happens when you have "advanced" degrees that are not actually useful in large numbers to society. We only need so many sociologists and critical race studies professors and political scientists. These jobs also happen to generally be supported off of societal productivity (i.e. taxes and charities) instead of growing the pie which means their supply is naturally limited.

Notice that even for STEM jobs which are strongly constrained by available capital, like structural engineering or petroleum engineering, the pay is substantially higher than the useless jobs and the competition is less. You don't have to go to an Ivy League to get paid $$$ in engineering.
If you have an Audible subscription, you may have noticed the same behaviour there.

Large numbers of books labelled as 'free with your membership', which likely only cost Amazon the price of delivering the files. Which makes sense, because once I have paid for my credit the worst outcome financially is that I use it.
Just to add some facts to the discussion:

Indeed, but as far as I can tell, the particular specification language here is at a much lower level of abstraction, one where we have only slightly-abstracted pointers, and consequently, I suspect, a specification using this particular logic will have no choice but to say how to generate X (or perhaps I should say that the intention is that one should say how to generate X, even if, formally, one can avoid doing so.)
Since the basics of Sentient were only declassified in 2019 it’s possible disclosure of the fact there’s a next iteration and it’s name is Cyberdyne would constitute disclosure of classified information?

Encouraging!
It’s not the results that make models valid/invalid. It’s how well the model approximates the underlying processes that lead to the results, which make it valid.

A clock that is stuck is a poor model of time because it does not model the progression of time, even though it is still correct twice a day.

We can make a very simplistic climate model that would be valid. We have a sphere of radius 6,357km, which is illuminated by electro-magnetic radiation centered at wavelengths of 0.6um. When the light hits the surface, it is absorbed and is re-emitted as black body radiation with a wavelength centered at 10um. It has an atmosphere, which contains a gas, which blocks the escape of wavelengths at 4um and 15um. This reflects some of the black body radiation back to the sphere, causing it to warm. In 2009 for the earth, this lead to a net accumulation of 0.6 W/m^2 of energy absorption [1]. If accumulated over the entire area of the sphere and accumulated over time, this would lead to an increase in temperature. Although the model does not take into account land formations, ocean currents, air currents, seasons, etc, it still models the underlying process of the earth’s energy balance and can answer the question of whether the planet will warm and can provide estimates at how quickly this will occur.

I think you’re hinting at systems being so complex that they can vary based on minute changes in initial conditions, you’d be correct to say that climate is chaotic. Not all chaotic systems are the same though. A double pendulum will swing in eccentric motions, but if you look at something like the stock market, there’s a lot of short term variability with long term certainty. I cannot tell you what my stocks will do next week. But markets generally converge on a doubling of money in 10 years. In fact that’s reliable enough that I’m willing to have a 401k. With the pendulum, I can tell you with a lot of certainty that if it’s damped, it will settle to its lowest energy state and stay there permanently.

A climate model will not predict the weather. But in the same way that I can tell you that winter will be cold, I can also tell you that Arctic amplification and Hadley cell expansion will lead to very different weather patterns that civilization has not seen before, such as much more extreme swings in temperature and weather.

Iceland's power is hydro. (It's only ~26% geothermal)

The Aluminum smelting is done on hydro not geothermal.

Iceland is small compared to the USA or Indonesia for geothermal power. Large per capita, but Mexico has more geothermal power.

By the way, the reason why I took the time to write out such a long response, is I worry about people like my partner who might read this. While they are quite mentally healthy and I’m sure would brush off your comments I can see someone else slipping into your mindset and getting stressed.

Comments like “FANG gods, I make only 200K, etc.” are really out of touch. I actually hope you someday get a job at Google/Apple/etc. and see that it really is not all that it’s cracked up to be :)
Is it really that hard? You make a lever/beam with notches at regular intervals. Move the hooks to set the ratio, and you can compare weights of arbitrary ratios. Sure there's some loss of precision at each step, but assuming you minimize the stacking of errors and return to the master reference whenever possible, I'd imagine it to be precise enough for pre-scientific uses.

Note that many old measurement systems use factors other than 10, which happen to be easy to multiply/divide with ratios of 2 and 3, which happens to be very easy to make levers/beams for.
In my country, and where I live (a relatively rural section), there are just such penalties - there’s a non-zero chance that if you show up at someone’s house, you’ll get shot for your efforts.

Obviously I’m not condoning this, but does actually seem relevant to this discussion.
(I work in healthcare) There is something very odd or perhaps magical about these agents. I don’t really understand why they exist. What purpose do they serve to the mushroom? And how is it that similar agents exist in fungi, plants (ayehuasca) and amphibians (DMT from toad venom)? And also how do they produce such dramatic effects (generally beneficial when used judiciously) in humans with seemingly very little toxicity? There are basically no other molecules like this in the biosphere.
> How much gold and palladium are required?

Probably nobody knows. It's research; it's not a technology or product in development.
Financial regulations are bad, because they criminalize honest fraudsters and scam artists. How are they supposed to make a living in our current system? /s
You can't scald yourself with mixed water from the faucet unless you set the faucet lever wrong, so I've never had that issue. In addition to that, the recommended high temperature setting (I believe the recommended default setting on my tank is 60 C?) increases the amount of mixed water that you can use before depleting the tank, so even a smaller tank suffices for a person.
Not that it is bad, just useless, money always find the way around them.
> make the Netflix brand exciting and legitimate to engineers

As a serious question, why do people include Netflix in the acronym FAANG, which I see on HN all the time? Is there something special about Netflix? Netflix is around the #14 tech company, so it's strange to see Netflix in there instead of Microsoft. Or is the use of FAANG divorced from its literal meaning?
IIRC they announced pretty quickly that they wouldn't be using the winning solution due to complexity for little gain. A common thought at the time was that it was worth it because it showed how far they would have to go to make their algorithm better and that it wasn't worth it.
You can order the dish to a post box in your city. They currently work within a few dozen km of the service address.
Those "educated" proletarians, at least in my experience, are no more educated than the "trailer trash" they mock, despite their degree. They read Marx in college and start parroting the talking points of choice of their political candidate.

You can tell when someone has actually thought through their political opinions when they don't all align on one side of the political spectrum.
> There is nothing really preventing GitHub and others from implementing a AsciiDoc/tor converter

Github already supports AsciiDoc via AsciiDoctor.
I learned about AI by participating in the challenge, and ended up co-founding an AI company as a result.

Netflix got more than 1 million dollar in free advertising from it, and are still getting brand value out of it today. They implemented some of the algorithms, and probably got a 10X ROI through retention alone.

As mentioned in the Quora answer, they were also able to recruit top talent - and that's much harder to put an ROI figure on.
I understand why "psychohistory" would appeal to Asimov fans, but it means something like "history of the mind". Whereas "cliodynamics" means "the study of history as a dynamical system". If you want to say that the way people thought has changed over time -- the kind of thesis Adam Curtis would make -- then "psychohistory" is better. If you want to talk about an ODE model of society -- say, you want to show how rising grain prices caused the Arab Spring -- then "cliodynamics" is better.
Another method which any able-bodied individual can try at home is multi day salt water fasting with multivitamin supplementation.

Elevated levels of autophagy after fasting result in the elimination of senescence-like neurons. Individual neurons of this type can negatively influence the extracellular environment and may promote induction of the same phenotype in surrounding cells, as well as driving aging and age-related diseases.
This depends on your environment. I hear far more feuding in the office.
It is also possible that the answer lies somewhere in our evolution, not the mushroom's.
Pretty sure the guy who posted this anecdote is a troll. Joined 2 hours ago just to post that comment.

It's happened before on other threads on companies going public. Not sure why people are creating accounts just to hate on a company, not the first time I've seen that here.
>Sneed is short for special needs, i.e. retards

...Okay. I could be totally wrong here, but I was fairly certain the Sneed thing came out of a Simpson's joke w.r.t. Sneed's Seed and Feed, formerly Chuck's.

This would quite frankly be the first time I've heard the Sneed->"special needs"->retards connection, which to be frank, is nowhere near direct enough for what I know of memes with a Channic origin.

Not that I'm an expert on the subject matter.
Citation(s)?
They get jobs outside their field.

In 1950s and 60s the US seriously overestimated the number of physicists they would need.

Lots of physicists ended up working in business.
Can you please list some of the books that have helped you the most?
Check again... https://github.com/vlang/coreutils/commits/main

And a nice in progress PR: https://github.com/vlang/coreutils/pulls

I think this is pretty cool for such a short period of time. Lots of excitement from everyone on Discord as far as this project goes for not just Vinix, but for general coreutils implementation for *nix.
I'm not sure what report your read, but that report very clearly states the following:

> Real wages fell for workers with lower levels of educational attainment and rose for highly educated workers. Wages for workers with a high school
diploma or less education declined in real terms at the top, middle, and bottom of the wage distribution, whereas wages rose for workers with at least a college degree.

And that is before you start looking at issues with the CPI-U and how it's price weighting compares to real expenses faced by blue collar workers.
Why stop there, you could buy real shares, sell synthetic ones, and then sell the real shares, too. Or just sell synthetic shares without having any real shares in the first place. This seems like a case where a blockhain doesn't really do much good.
> This isn't a product being announced for the market.

The press release makes bold implications tbh
Ask HN: How does the HN comment rate limiting work?
I took a several month break from HN and decided to have a go at participating again.

I now remember one of the main reasons I stopped posting: It seems that if I comment on more than a handful of articles, I am hit with a rate limiting message saying I am posting too fast. I guess I can see the reasoning behind that, but even after waiting several hours I still get the message.

Is this unique to my account or did the rules change earlier this year? It's nearly impossible to participate in productive discussion if you are limited to 5 messages per day.
and religion will rear its head at some point to fill this void.

It already did --- it's called politics.
> If I want to opt out of the tracking, all I have to do is shop at another store

Until recently it was quite normal that stores wouldn't let you in if you were covering your face.

> Maybe not at a store, but handing your credit card to the waiter at a restaurant is still pretty common.

WTF? Not where I live it isn't. Even pre-Corona people knew not to let someone else touch your card.
That sounds really interesting. Do you have any book recommendations that explain this process (ideally targeted at a non-medical audience)?
> there is no reason to believe that, in the absence of a centralizing force, the weights should standardize.

That force is commerce, and it has almost never been absent in human history.
A quick google proves your intuition pretty spot on. Looks like there was a major increase of the disease between 2016-2018.

Greek public health announcement regarding outbreaks ~2018: https://www.acg.edu/about-acg/institute-of-public-health/fac...

An anecdotal account of a man contracting Legionnaire's while on holiday in Greek apartment: https://www.irwinmitchell.com/news-and-insights/newsandmedia...

An older account of a similar ocurrance in a hotel, just as you describe: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/004313...

Granted, no mention of this particular cultural artifact. Global temperature warming was cited in some reports as part of the cause of these outbreaks. It seems that the bacteria really likes to live in showerheads, so especially older shower heads can accumulate legionella especially given commonly lukewarm temperatures. This creates a perfect storm of ideal reservoirs, protected, moist, temperature conditions and aerosolized distribution.

Nasty.
It would be illicit purchases so I guess that’s out
Not OP, but this sounds interesting, thanks!
it was a originally just FANG with one A. and it was just partially coined because it’s a catchy term. it’s also pretty dated at this point. and if you took the N out it would not be appropriate
This is worrying. I always thought about this since I have long-standing user experience with privacy-related stuffs and the more you block, the less you can use. But being unable to access financial services or city infrastructure provided by your city makes me think that either these services are terrible or the privacy phones are breaking something. Case in which I am most curious to find out what exactly are they breaking and how are those things both essential and privacy related? - I'm unsure if my sentence makes sense, English is not my first language.

Alpine Linux. Not just for Docker images.

I run it text-only on some crap Dell Dimension in my basement workshop. 15-21 megabytes of memory used on a default install. Has networking, framebuffer, usb, and otherwise all the modern trimmings. Probably the closest you'll ever come to a modern DOS experience. Like one commenter above said, everything seems more proprietary now. The moment I realised we no longer live in an open standards world, was when I realised there was no text-mode Discord client, not even possible to make without getting banned from the service.
The utility you personally get out of symmetric 2gbps is pretty much irrelevant here. I am seriously hobbled by not having symmetric internet available in my area, and so are many other people; the articles point stands.

As for where I got my opinion that the "they're doing the best they can, it's expensive to do in the US" line is a poor excuse for the high prices and poor quality of services...
I have some personal experience in dealing with their business side, which shows none of the qualities of a business working hard to compete. That shouldn't convince anyone else, but the obvious anti-consumer behaviors like forcing bundles on people, absurdly low upload speeds (far under what docsis will allow for on well laid out networks), arbitrary data caps, and so on shouldn't give the impression they're working hard to support US technical innovation. There are massive price drops in the rare competitive area (clearly they're working with a lot of margin), and comcast (e.g.) makes $40B yearly profit while failing at basic customer service. Last, are the success stories of municipal ISPs and foreign ISPs, which, despite the objections, often are very comparable expense-wise and still make the US ISPs look as awful as they are.
Amazon, MS, and GCP all have managed Kubernetes services so these two things are not mutually exclusive.
it’s not really though. The mushrooms evolved independently a neurotransmitter that also just happens to work on humans. Fungi and humans have a common ancestor roughly 450 million years ago. It’s also possible that they evolved this by accident and the mushrooms that were mostly successful got carried away further and reproduced more because of this secondary utilization humans had for them.
Proprietary software means software controlled by another party. Custom software includes all rights usually.

Most custom software clients want full ownership. Not a copyleft license. So most custom software developers look at licensing the same as most proprietary software developers. They want other developers to use permissive licenses because it makes their job easier.
Marfa started as railroad infrastructure and grew around the Army airfield (and chemical mortar firing range per Wikipedia) south of town.

There’s room in West Texas for one of them. Nobody’s gonna build a second Dairy Queen on US 90 in Marathon or Valentine. But even with a DQ, living there is only practical because there’s a Walmart in Van Horne. Dallas and El Paso are too far for underwear.

And of course Marfa is full of air conditioners. As is all of Texas…a place I suspect the article’s author has not spent much time…football ain’t played on pitches in Texas.

You actually don't need the multivitamin. Salt is essential though. Magnesium and Potassium are also really good supplements to add.

But agree, fasting is great for cleaning up the biological cruft.

I’ve pretty much been working non-stop since I was 18. I started self-learning when I was 14 and found a job as a programmer a few years after.
I’ve only taken a long break when I decided to quit my full time job to create my own company. During that time I pushed my limits learning new technology and finding new ways to improve my code. After all, my business really depended on how good I developed the technology.
So I think is worth taking a break to accomplish any objectives you have in mind: studying, travelling, experiencing new things, etc. It’s just one year of your entire life. You deserve breaks once in a while…
