They're not building traditional hardware. This is off the shelf components assembled in a particular manner, most likely by a 3rd party.

IMO, this is a great move. They're building a cheap device that plays AAA games in a cool Switch-like form factor. I think targeting teenagers and young adults.

I think the industry is changing how they do business, a mainstream Linux/AMD device is leading the way.
DM didn't "solve" anything around proteins. They just made an improvement to existing homology modelling methods. If you look, the system is incredibly dependent on having large numbers of high quality sequence alignments to proteins with known structure and lots and lots of evolutionary data.

This was actually fairly obvious 20 years ago and it's been disappointing to me to see how long it took somebody to make this improvement, but really, it couldn't have been done without recent algorithmic improvements and huge amounts of CPU time.

“ NASA announced that they had identified the Power Control Unit (PCU), which is part of the SI C&DH, as the source of the problem”

So they had a spare PCU that they switched to. Hubble was launched in 1990. Is 30+ years normal for a continuously operating PCU? What is the expected lifespan of the “new” PCU that has been sitting this whole time?

No, it's not illegal, I don't think? Parents don't need to be present or informed. Maybe some states are slightly different and I guess it might depend on the charges.

Yup. There's clearly a former oxbow there.

Europe was basically all deforested farmland at one point. As it industrialized the last places farming was economically viable were the most fertile land which is going to be the floodplain and the river's former oxbow and resulting swamp.

Then a developer probably comes along (say 1910 or 1920 or something) and builds on the easiest to build land, which is the already cleared land of the last farm to croak. Then 100yr later we get a record rainfall and the river takes it all back for a couple weeks.
I think YC is already monetized in an indirect way. Think about all the curious minds that roam HN and I am sure quite a few YC startups have founders that are on HN and took some inspiration from all the great things we discuss on HN. The value of YC in my opinion is the community that is built and even though you cannot directly calculate the monetary gains, I am sure it is worth millions of dollars.
This is not entirely correct. The default mode is pulse-less, but the bivacor can be spun up and down to simulate pulses (based on some articles I found looking at this a while back). I'm most curious about the auto rate adjustment. I'm assuming a built in oximeter? Also future revisions plan on a charge through skin internal battery. That'll be a killer (for lack of a better word) feature.
I thought it was common knowledge that the US (esp. industry) for years collaborated with Nazi Germany? Near the time they entered the war, the US propaganda machine worked hard to erase the fact. They were successful, especially after winning the war.

This is not meant as calling-out the US in particular. The nazis and soviets had large scale propaganda, too. It goes without saying that the latter still do, just like the US.

There is an abundance of examples, but one that I personally really like is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_for_Death . When I first saw it, I was certain it was fake.

> Aren’t there any initiatives in some US states to make socialized healthcare?

Sort of. The conversations are mostly about expanding our existing socialized healthcare plans that cover over 1/3 of the population already.

Americans over 65 and those with some disabilities are covered by Medicare: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_(United_States) This includes about 60 million people.

People with low income or some other qualifications are covered by Medicaid: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid This includes about 75 million people and reportedly pays for about half of all births.

The affordable care act also subsidized health insurance plans for those with incomes up to 400% of the poverty level: https://www.healthinsurance.org/obamacare/the-acas-cost-shar... These subsidies go to another 9 million people or so.

There are gaps and I agree 100% that we need to continue closing such gaps, but the US actually does have a significant amount of socialized healthcare. Some of the proposals include simply expanding some of these programs to cover the remaining 8-9% of the population without healthcare.

The idea that the US doesn’t have any socialized healthcare is a bit of a myth. The reality is that we do have socialized health care, it just doesn’t cover everyone.

The headlines about insulin costing thousands of dollars per month are also misleading. Insulin is $25/vial at Walmart and you don’t even need a prescription from a doctor to get it. The expensive products are more recent, patented insulin analogs that are longer lasting but obviously shouldn’t be prescribed to someone without insurance who can’t afford them. The $25/vial insulin is equivalent to the generics you read about in headlines like this one.

"To be clear, I acknowledge that Android can be just as stable and easy to use (especially now, with the Pixel devices). But I don’t miss Android flavors depending on manufacturers. And I don’t miss sideloading and rom flashing."

But you don't have to do those things. With all things being roughly equal, I think consumers are doing themselves a disservice by asking for less. Being able to install a different rom has no impact on the usability of the device for a majority of users, but it makes a huge difference for the small set of users that want to use that functionality.
Hi Julia @jkurnia, quick question on the credit card integration.

I just made two one off payments on your platform, and the second time I was not prompted for any CVV / CVC.

Are you storing the CVV and is that safe?

This is a real problem for people dependent on medicine.

My wife needs specific immuno-depressants to keep her alive (or at least not drastically decrease her health) and since we live in France it is not a problem.

When COVID hit I had real concerns about the manufacturing keeping up, but also about other mechanical devices she needs. These were at risk because they are manufactured in a normal factory (non-critical state infrastructure kind). Everything was fine but these are the moments you realize how reliant one is on technology, supply chain etc.
It's weird, and it crosses the line into misrepresentation. The written word and the spoken word are different forms of communication. A deepfake is using his words but synthesizing his facial expressions, pacing, and tone.

Everything we know about how information is lost from face2face to text--why /s is a thing in the first place--should reinforce this. A deepfake is still a small fiction.

This is obviously some of alot of infrastructure that today reside in harm's way from chaotic climate change. The flood moved cars, houses and eradicated buildings. So that should tell something of sudden erosion too.
To add to that there is the obvious low hanging fruit of meat as the main source of proteins. Feeding animals perfectly good proteins and using the majority of agricultural land (more than 70% if I remember correctly) and a lot water to finally to eat them after so much waste makes no sense as a main source of feeding a population, it’s not political or philosophical question just a practical one (I’m not vegetarian but eat meat only on rare occasions).

To me the most likely back of the napkin answer to the Fermi paradox is that aliens are elsewhere in time. The Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light years across but about 13.5 billion years old. So it’s like 135,000x deeper in the time direction than the distance direction.

We’re in the light cones of all the stars we can see, and as far as we know, we can’t get out of them. If a civilization ended even 100 years earlier than our equivalent “now” in their light cone, we wouldn’t have seen them. And if they became visible even 1 year later than our equivalent “now,” we would not have seen them yet.

We’re proceeding through time at 1 sec per sec and basically if we’re going to see an alien civilization at this point, I think the only way would be if one happens to achieve the necessary technology to be detected while we’re looking at it. If there were existing civilizations that were easy to see, we would have seen them already.

I think it’s far more likely we will confirm alien life first by indirect means, for example spectroscopically detecting free atmospheric oxygen on an exoplanet, or finding tiny fossils on Mars.
Not just continuously operating, but in a very harsh environment. Impressive.

The Bivacor pump does have a pulse-like output, so I suspect some of the issues with earlier rotary pumps might not be so prevalent. Because it's a rotary pump though I suspect there's still issues with cell damage as they pass parts of the rotating assembly. The video claims that wide clearances reduce the risks of clotting from cell damage, but it's a reduction - not outright removal. See around the 3:40 to 4 minute mark on the video at https://www.bivacor.com/
I didn’t say we have, just that we can.

The closest Star is ~268,770 AU where voyager 1 is only 152.6 AU. However, being able to target a probe within 50 feet at 150AU, means hitting a planet sized target at 4.25 light years. Building a probe large enough and fast enough to do significant damage at the other side is the hard part, not targeting.

Calculating where a planet sized object would be by the time our probe got there is a different story.
That's a lot of effort just for tricking people into thinking you can tell if a number is prime.

In the first book the earth is attacked by Von Neumann probes launched preemptively by a civilization that wants to destroy potential agressors before they develop the technology to become a risk. The "benefactor" civilization group organises rescue and counter-assaults as a means of pan-civilisation trust building. The second book looks at the ethics of destroying a civ based on decisions it may have taken in its distant past.

> Overcome procrastination with 10 min a day

There’s your solution to procrastination right there, no course needed. Instead of spending ten minutes each day watching videos which will make you feel productive, use them to advance whatever you need to do.

Chronic procrastinators tend to realise starting is the hard part. How many of us have consumed book after blog post after video, getting the jolt of “this time I’m going to do it” which never sticks?

Procrastination is an emotional problem. Get yourself to start! Commit to ten minutes—and only ten minutes—of whatever you have to do. Give yourself permission to stop once the time is up. Chances are you’ll continue.
"So what would this new Pascal like version bring to the table? "

The kind of thing I had in mind is for creating Domain Specific Languages - more toy systems than any new earth-shattering paradigm. It's up to the tinkerer. Like, maybe someone wants to add coroutines to the language, for example.

I had one idea in that I'd like to add a nicer way of expressing the parsing of data.

Maybe a Cobol, but nicer. Or a Snobol, but in a more general-purpose language.

Another idea is in the realm of microcontrollers. It could write start-up code for peripherals, and ensure its usage doesn't conflict. I'm not a Rust programmer, but I am aware that it is the kind of problem it addresses.

BUT, the thing about compilers is that a function call is just a function call, it has no idea of intent. By extending the language, you can give the compiler that intent. So certain functions can have compile-time semantics as well as run-time semantics. You could probably achieve the same kind of thing with Lisp.

Anything where one feels the need/desire to extend syntax, basically.
…or as I try to occasionally discuss here… let’s simply develop the unmanned robotic capability to service Hubble, etc

I found one discussion from 7 years ago

“… I think we should start a more extensive national unmanned space program. For example, if the Hubble, or its replacement, needs to be fixed, we should have an unmanned answer, for instance.”

I could afford a two-bedroom apartment on my own either and had a roommate for years.

I think the headline is inaccurate because minimum wage workers can obviously afford some rents.

I think if we want everyone to have a basic housing level we should just invest in lots of council homes or projects and start handing them out. I don’t think it’s the best or even a good idea, but better than trying to set the wage floor at the price of two bedroom apartments.

That just seems silly, that everyone should have a two bedroom apartment? That’s a waste for people who don’t need it.

Also assumes that I will only work one minimum wage job and that I’ll be able to work 40 hours. This study isn’t very useful.
Yea and it also doesn't remotely do what the post is about.
Now maybe they can stop lying to adults, that is, if they want to earn back the public's trust.

NASA's hardware is deployed in anything but normal circumstances, so normal for them vs normal for the consumer are vastly different things.

Given the longevity and how well engineered things are for their other projects, I'd have to say yeah it seems pretty "normal" to me.

It seems like they overengineer and quality control to the point of doubling planned mission length, if not longer. My cynical take on it is they do it this way because of the nature of their funding rather than any specific engineering goal.
Wouldn't that be a serious crime?
Anyone claiming to have a real answer to that would be torn to pieces by Richard Feynman. I think you'll need to be satisfied with best guesses and a metaphysical "as long as it lasts".
What if our elite 30x productivity person takes a significant risk? If he flips a coin and wins he should rightfully expect 60x

And you can be much more than 10x more productive than your average person without being 10x smarter. You can just have skills or have an idea that allows you to scale your contributions much more than an average person.

For instance, if we can teach cars to drive themselves, we have the capacity to save hundreds of millions, if not billions, of man hours a day.

The people who made significant contributions to that effort will have contributed thousands of times more to society than an average person.

If a surgeon saves 50 lives a year, I'd say that's a lot more than 10x what I'm doing.
What's the purpose of your question? It's apparent they went out of their way to limit this to minors - so the reason is they want to have the ability to lie to adults. Probably 'because it helps fight crime' or something.
It is significantly harder to use, and this is a situation where if you make a bad enough mistake, you die. Transitioning from one kind to another means you have to figure out how they're different, introducing situations where you can more easily make a mistake. It also means you have to test more, which means using more strips, which means more cost. Ideally you would be doing this with the help of your doctor, which means more visits, which means more cost.
There is great interest in using both instruments to observe the same target simultaneously, for example, a new supernova. It would be a real loss not to have Hubble available for such observations after JWST launches later this year.
In this general area of focus/productivity etc, I'm not sure procrastination is a big problem for me these days. But I'm by nature a procrastinator, and in the past I've found occasional small tweaks so unreasonably useful in this sort of area that I'll definitely have a look at the free stuff (tonight! no really). The picture with the frowns turning into numbered points made me smile.
Nobody asked for cookie walls, which anyway don't bring sites into compliance. The cookie walls are erected by companies that are trying to shirk GDPR responsibilities.

They can avoid these responsibilities by refusing to serve content in the EU. That's their prerogative (although it is discriminatory, and thefore violates GDPR). And if they think they are out-of-reach for EU law, they can just ignore the GDPR; but watch out, similar regulations are coming to a jurisdiction near you.

Whether the GDPR is "reasonable" depends on your perspective; regulated parties always think that the regulations under which they trade are unreasonable.

The article waxes poetic about nostalgia but never comes out and says that. I too enjoy older editions of The Old Farmers Almanac. I liked them growing up too. The information relevant to farming and animals husbandry is good AND quaint.

My fathers family grew up as very poor farmers. Folk wisdom such as "Plant your corn on the full moon after the last frost of March"; (example possibly made up, My Great-Grandmother told me that one 40+ years ago) also had a similar quality and feeling.

Like the author said, the weather "reporting" was never any good, but everything else was wonderful.
"If you are counting CO2 as pollution (and you should)"

There is a caveat. They only consider CO2 from specific sources to be pollution, so we can't just blanket call it pollution. For example, the CO2 I exhale would not be considered pollution, but if it's coming from fossil fuels or even burning trees, then it is. I'm not sure how they handle the natural burning of tree, like wildfires though.
There is currently no way to service Hubble, now that the Shuttle fleet has been retired.

Wait, the moment a creator function returns its created values, it is also returning their ownership. So at least with that concrete DRY refactor you are showing, you're effectively not only moving code but also responsibilities around.

But I get your point: with destructors you are free to change the ownership responsibilities, because the link between a variable and its releasing is implicit and carried over by the runtime, instead of explicitly being cared for by the code.
