"...(SETI) is a scientific endeavor which struggles with unique issues -- a strong indeterminacy in what data to look for and when to do so. This has led to attempts at finding both fundamental limits of the communication between extraterrestrial intelligence and human civilizations, as well as benchmarks so as to predict what kinds of signals we might most expect. Previous work has been formulated in terms of the information-theoretic task of communication, but we instead argue it should be viewed as a detection problem, specifically one-shot (asymmetric) hypothesis testing. With this new interpretation, we develop fundamental limits as well as provide simple examples of how to use this framework to analyze and benchmark different possible signals from extraterrestrial civilizations..."
This seems very handy – however the reference image would be infinitely easier to print on the correct size if it was a PDF file. PNG image format does not retain the resolution IIRC.
I just don't understand why people are so terrified of opinions they don't agree with.

I am just so glad I am old enough to have been exposed to a wide variety of different opinions and ideas before this crack down on such.

Being exposed to bullshit ultimately hones your bullshit detector.

If you grow up on twitter it just seems to me you will be easy to fool. Like a person who lives in a bubble afraid of germs so their immune system is nothing.
Show HN: Ad Astra per Aspera (A Book That Might Change Your Life)
The cost of the reactor will be proportional to its size, so the cost/power will be inversely proportional to the power density. Lawrence Lidsky (who was also at MIT) (and also a similar argument from Pfirsch and Schmitter in Germany) famously pointed out back in the 1980s that DT fusion reactors will inherently have terrible power density compared to fission reactors, and this will render them noncompetitive. Despite putative rebuttals at the time, nothing we've seen since contradicts their devastating argument.

Note that Helion wants to go with D-3He, and use direct conversion for at least some of the energy recovery. This might be the only hope for making fusion compete. But of course you need 3He; making it with DD fusion requires even more aggressive plasma physics.

ARC at least isn't quite as absurd as a tokamak the size of ITER, which has a gross fusion power density another order of magnitude lower.
Reddit is absolutely toxic.
Maybe for ground meat, but beef for example is priced higher according to it's fat content. For example prime is higher in fat and in price than choice, and wagyu is prized for it's high fat content. The fattiest red meat, A5 wagyu, is upwards of $100/lb.
You can make plenty of money doing enterprise devops freelancing with the big German companies. I'm currently on around £320k/year contracting for a couple of household-name companies. I think most of these companies are based in Frankfurt and Rhine-Ruhr though not Berlin, although they do seem happy to accept remote workers like me.
Review and Highlights: “Accelerate” by Nicole Forgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim
Seconds elephant in the room not mentioned: Haiti was by far the most productive colony in all of the Americas. The French sold territory from Louisiana to the Rocky Mountains just so they could focus their efforts on keeping Haiti.

This is to say that the drop in trade was ENORMOUS because no other nation at the time wanted to consider what a successful slave revolt might mean for them.

Dominican Republic (and I am Dominican) was a largely abandoned island with no real economic attractions. People fled after one pirate raid. And for a hundred or so years it was largely empty.

One minir nit;

You are very right in pointing out the animosity between the former slaves and their enslavers. It is importa however to note that the leader of the revolution, Touissant was actually a bit more compassionate than the average Haitian at the time. Moreover, he was much more interested and capable of management than almost everyone else. Everyone else was uneducated and more importantly deprived of basic culture.
I can imagine some degree of inflation where experienced people are called senior engineers so they can be paid more while the still have room to move around and get training in a new area. But at a high enough level, I'd think the goal switches over to hiring key engineers based on their command of a niche. E.g. a principal engineer with 15 years experience in whatever to lead the new product in that area.

I dont get "mod hostility", if fans have been moved to create by your work; what possible good can come of forbidding them to share that?

Is the original game such a finely tuned jewel that it encompasses the only proper experience of the game, and modification can only detract from it? I get that feeling from some publishers. GTA wasn't "mod friendly" in the early versions more from lack of robustness, I thought.
Thank you. As I said there is a clearly a genetic component. Why do some women get fat bottoms and thighs but stay lean up top. Is it because the top half is following the low fat diet and the bottom half is not?

I always reccomend people ignore the dogma that is doled out absent-mindedly by professionals who are literally not allowed to deviate from the non-scientific lipid hypothesis. Read books instead by chaps like Garry Taub, or watch videos like those in my comment. Just this week my friend has been getting insulin shots for his type 2 diabetes (which used to be called Adult Onset Diabetes because know one knew it could affect kids until the 90s). He showed me an article about it which had a handy meal guid for diabetics. They suggest starting your day with wholemeal toast, cereal or fruit. If you think this is good advice for a diabetic then you should see what happens to your blood sugar level after eating those. It goes up a lot. And why would it not? You are eating stuff that is 50% sugar.
You need expertise to know whether an explanation is likely or not with respect to prior knowledge.

“Water is wet” study might not even exist

The fact that the sooner you fix a bug, the far-less impact it has, is logically obvious from anyone who has beginning-to-end product development, release, and maintenance experience.

Whether or not a study was done to prove an obvious principle is unimportant.
I've been on Reddit for over 10 years now and have to agree. Generally all the larger subreddits are fairly left.

There have been some hard right subs, but most of the larger ones are banned now.

I find a lot of the mods of large subs are quite power hungry too, for example r/soccer. If someone breaks some news, linking good sources, correct post format etc. mods will regularly take the post down and repost it themselves or just leave their own posts up so they get the karma for it.

When I first joined that kind of thing bothered me, and I enjoyed getting internet points and actively tried to get karma. Now if I think something is funny or relevant I'll post it, but generally avoid big subs and stick to smaller niche ones about a certain topic, like a phone, programming language, football club, watch brand, cryptocurrency etc.
This is a poor decision by the company's management. I'd first reverse this decision because I don't think they can afford it.

You should first tell management that their expensive and unrealistic expectations (including the zero-detect business model), certainly without matching support for you and the team (hire more skilled team members, resources, understanding, time, accept delays in deliverables, ...) is not the right way to go about this or realistic.

With that out of the way, in terms of improving the code and platform, take your wins where you can get it, it will be a gradual process.

Do you know what parts of the system have the most defects and high severity?

Adding a unit/integration testing framework, along with build automation that runs the tests, and training in the team about the benefits and how to write a test, would probably be my first stop.

You could then start to add tests (and would need some code refactoring as needed) to the high-defect parts of the code to start adding some defenses.

If this is a web based app with no framework, using a browser-based tool to run web based regression tests may be appealing too (see https://reflect.run/ - I saw it mentioned on HN recently).
I was wondering the same thing. HVDC is 'an under the radar' technology that is set to rework a lot of the grid world wide. With projects underway to send power from Australia to Singapore or Iceland to the UK it's likely to turn up in many places, even California.
>This is nonsense - there is no way to predict weight gain based on calorie intake - variance between people is too huge on this metric - individual BMR alone varies between 1000 kcal/day up to 2500 kcal/day.

Please site your sources. A variance of basal metabolic rate (BMR) of 2500 kcal/day sounds too extreme to be true, but I am open to learning something new. At least according to (https://examine.com/nutrition/does-metabolism-vary-between-t...) the variance in BMR is only around 300-400 kcal/day which makes your number unbelievable high.
Ah, that's interesting. Maybe I could wrangle something like that.
The "!ml" stands for machine learning so what else could the name be except randomly generated?
It's not like humans are generally better then this. I mean look at the Github master branch fiasco. It had a completely different meaning then master with slavery connotations. Yet the outrage was so large Github changed this name. I'd say this is the same behavior of this algorithm. Seeing a word and getting "triggered" and marking it as toxic even though it has a completely different meaning.

> Fair share, the cost to run the country. For most people that's 33% of what we make a year. For megacorps that can be as much as nothing.

That's your guess at what people pay now, not what their fair share is. Also, most people in the US don't have an effective tax rate anywhere close to 33%.

> While I understand how some people don't want to give individuals handouts, I don't understand how those same people are ok giving large corporations handouts.

I have no issue at all with individual handouts and think we should eliminate almost all corporate subsidies.

The assistance given to people who aren't employable at a wage that allows them to support themselves are individual handouts, not corporate ones.

> Take Walmart. If the poverty line where the local government steps up to help people out is $12.25 an hour (for 40 hours worked a week), and Walmart only pays out $7.25 per hour (for 40 hours), the it's on the local government to help those people out by giving them that extra $5 an hour. Well that means that walmart didn't pay the real rate for local wages, and the local tax payers got stuck with the bill.

The poverty line (or whatever other metric is used to set the threshold for public assistance) is set based on the cost of living, and doesn't set the rate for wages.

> I don't mind paying for the right to use the road, but many roads weren't built to handle the increased delivery traffic. That delivery traffic is a new burden that Bezos created and got rich off of. Surely the company that gained the most from using the public roads deserves to be billed for their upkeep.

Jeff Bezos isn't sending trucks out on the roads unilaterally. His company is satisfying your area's demand for convenient shopping (that seems limitless). It's just as easy to claim you and your neighbors created the traffic, which is why everyone (including Amazon) should pay for road maintenance.

Also, I have no idea how you determined that amazon has benefited the most from public roads, but that seems like a questionable claim.

Science is a process. HN isn't anti-science.

The scientific establishment is a group of people in various organizational structures and alliances. I'm part of that establishment, and I can say that it lies, exaggerates, and has become increasingly untrustworthy in the past decade or two:

- The easiest way to get ahead in the scientific establishment is to fabricate politically-motivated results.

- Competition is intense, and the "hard" way is becoming impossible.

My general advice is to read source data -- even there with a large grain of salt -- but to definitely not trust "expert" conclusions. One of the easiest ways to have "impact" is to write newsworthy conclusions weakly supported by evidence. It's not technically academic fraud, and gives you the visibility you need for academic job offers.

Science isn't about authority or expertise. It's about evidence, critical thinking, and the scientific process. If you believe science is "opinion of experts," you're doing it wrong.
Wonder how you'd overcome that flaw, is there a history of domain name ownership?
it basically paralyzes the sweat glands or pain receptors.

That's essentially what botox is.
There is also the "expensive contractor" modal which can easily be in the 150-250k for big corporate clients. For this you don't need leetcode so much as familiarity with enterprise tech stacks -- the more obscure the better; and the patience to navigate your way through frustrating enterprise working practises and policies.

The article claims the opposite:

> Haiti [...] is steadily losing arable land. But it still has more arable land than the entire Dominican Republic, despite being only about half as large in terms of territory! So the D.R. actually had — and has — less opportunity to farm.

Seems almost the opposite of your argument, if we substitute "plains that are not salt marshes" for "arable land". I don't know which is true or whether you're actually measuring something substantially different.
When the experts are all white liberal progressives competing for citations and news coverage, you're doing science a disservice by not having a critical read....

I think high-field HTS tokamaks projected costs are in a reasonable range despite the raw power density being lower. There could be additional savings related to radioactive waste processing since fusion should generate less and also containment/security for similar reasons

Helion and other new fusion projects are, surely, interesting, however tokamaks are so much more ready and, with high-field magnets, likely economical
I think you are honest so I'll give you my best explanation:

Many people here, including many black I think are utterly fed up with nonsense.

I am someone who badgered my boss to get him to give a job to the foreign cleaning lady who had the necessary degree (he did give her a job). My Indian colleague came to thank me a few years later for helping them settle in.

And I'd probably step in in a fight to save someone.

But this stupid stuff that has been going on for the last few years? I guess it causes even more grief for everyone.
Law of Attraction – Soul Manifestation
As a corollary - maintenance of buried power lines is more expensive due to all the digging which has to be done. Power line inspection is also trickier.

I also wonder if the unions representing linemen have a strong influence on "bury" vs "overhead" since most of lineman's job involves work up a pole rather than a tunnel.

Lastly - burying anything in the ground in areas where the ground has been known to move (California is the "Earthquake" entry in the Bingo game of "choose which natural disaster" that is the continental USA) is liable to be a non-trivial endeavour, one which will require ongoing inspections and the like.
For anybody wondering – the correct DPI is about 508 for some reason.
Salaries for IT/software engineering in Germany work kind of the opposite of the US: generally speaking, you’ll make better money in mid-size cities at one of the big old industrials (e.g.: Siemens, Bosch) than in startup-hot Berlin. IG Metall Tariff is what you’re looking for.

I’ve snickered at a couple recruiting mails trying to get me to leave my “boring” giant family company’s IT department for a ~30% paycut and “usually under 45 hours” workweek (mine’s currently 35).

I am “in Tariff” - my base salary is determined by the main IG Metall contract for Bavaria. My employer can pay me up to 28% over that base amount based on my annual performance evaluation. If they want to reward me more, they can choose to bump me up a step. If they wish to pay me even more than that, I am then “außer Tariff,” which means they can pay me as much as they like over that higher minimum, and I’m no longer “limited” to a 35/40 hour workweek. Managers in my department are usually AT, but I also have several IC colleagues with 15+ years of SWE experience who are.

TL;DR - Germany values boring; go boring, get paid.

I think this is a pro towards capitalism. It's good that we have individuals with successful track record who managed to gather so many resources and instead of blowing it on expensive vices, they decide to use those resources to organize groups of people to innovate on things that no government would have incentive to do in order to have a better product or some sort of escape latch for humanity if things were to go very wrong.

If instead of something like capitalism we taxed people until they wouldn't have left over money to start new businesses, how would new businesses even be brought to life? How would you go about organizing group of people to work on a single goal that would not have immediate benefit and especially when a common lay person would think it's a complete waste of time? In such world where wealth was divided equally and 99% common people who don't understand the subject or potential gains many years down the line.

Would we use some sort of voting system in such a world on what we should build if that something would require 100B worth of resources to build?

I think if you managed to earn that 100B in the current system, it's evidence of your ability to use money wisely, to make something out of nothing, enough of it for it to provide more than 100B worth of value to the world, I think I would trust such person to make good decisions on next businesses and start ups as well as opposed to people collectively voting and trying to organize on what the next innovative attempt would be.

In the end worrying about him having 100B, just seems like envy out of ego rather than pragmatic thinking to me.

No, what’s weird is calling a religious Jew and a gay Asian man a nazi/white supremacist. It’s ridiculous on its face. They’d have to believe in the righteousness of their own destruction, something neither had espoused.

It would be necessary to show strong evidence of it, which hasn’t happened, or else it’s just someone lying about them to discredit them, and doing so in a way that is utterly ridiculous.

In this case it appears to be a ridiculous claim with no evidence behind it - just a lot of bold lies from bold liars who are seemingly obtuse in the self interest of their ongoing smear campaign against a gay minority man.

I guess that 100x is just an arbitrary number that means 'orders of magnitude'. If production means going to Pluto on a super expensive space mission, and the bug ruins all the scientific experiments, and your future funding depends on the success of the mission, I'd say that the cost tends to infinity. If the product requires some kind of polishing that only interaction with real users can provide, then the cost of bugs at production be even negative (spend less time on the requirement side, etc.).
Do we even need a study for this? Production means you have limited time to make changes on there. It’s like when they went to that planet in Interstellar where each second represents a day. Time is money, you age fast on production. It will obviously be more expensive.
