> I have a revulsion for the Dark Matter/Dark Energy thing, that seems to have become conventional thinking in recent decades. Those theories look to me like a tangled beard, just waiting for Occam's Razor.

IMHO, that's sort of what the end of science (or at least particle physics) will look like: detectable inconsistencies or anomalies with no means to probe further to resolve them, but new theories will keep getting produced and maybe even taught.

This might be one of the areas were probing further may not be possible:

> These possibilities make the dark sector “not just a bedtime story,” said Weiner. However, even if the dark sector exists and the familiar neutrinos act as intermediaries, there’s no guarantee that their link is strong enough to reveal what’s hidden. “It is possible that heavy [neutrinos] may be completely inaccessible to any reasonable experiment,” said Josh Spitz of the University of Michigan.
I'm certain there's masses of code that depends on `which` responding the way it does and scripts with aliases in them regardless of whether that was the right way to do it or not, so your point is probably irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Think about all that enterprise install and setup crap. People still depend on that spaghetti trash working.

"thinking clever thoughts"

Or thinking thoughts that we think are clever
From near the end:
"My going theory on why the news isn’t being shared is because it is being instinctively suppressed by the implicit forces that filter out such actions from the official narratives. The whole scenario might give people the idea that we could do things because they’re helpful. It gives status to someone for being helpful. It highlights our general failure to do helpful things, and plausibly blames all our supply chain (and also plausibly all our civilizational) problems on stupid pointless rules and a failure to do obviously correct things. That’s not a good look for power, and doesn’t help anyone’s narratives, so every step of the way such things get silenced."

No, I think the news isn't being shared because it doesn't stoke fear, greed, or anger. The economics of the news causes people in those industries to (consciously or subconsciously) prioritize headlines which stoke fear, greed, or anger. "We solved a problem" doesn't stoke any of that.

> I also recall the show depicting meth users having all those problems - Jesse is paranoid the missionaries are bikers, there's that guy digging a hole in his front yard, Spooe and his head, etc

> Seems like the drug was fucking people up way prior to the last few years in fiction.

Meth has always, always, always been known to cause those behaviors/effects since it first became widespread. Breaking bad shows those behaviors because they're classic tweaker behaviors. The scene where Jesse distracts the guy by digging is super spot on. Brilliant scene.

So yep, the paranoia, hallucinations etc have nothing to do with "new meth", they're just what happens when someone abuses sufficient amounts of meth. And the more potent the meth, the easier it is to get to that threshold. But note that you still need to be smoking or injecting quite a bit. The people exhibiting psychosis and the like are using hundreds of milligrams per session.
Since they give something very similar to blue-prints, can it be considered open source? Certainly no free (as in speech) because they say nothing about licensing.

The iPad has the advantage of cellular data. But if your nomadic goals are not cramped by being near WiFi, I find a cheap thin ChromeOS client (ideally with a 3:2 display) works substantially better. I have been code-server'ing from a gaming desktop for three years now this way. My clients have been a Asus C302, Pixelbook, an Acer Spin 13, and now a Framework laptop on Manjaro Sway edition. It's been a revelation. The desktop cranks on web dev stuff in a way no laptop can.

Yes, of course — but the point is that native English speakers would have blocked such an absurd proposal no matter what.

Han Unification is just as absurd and just as unacceptable to a native Japanese speaker as Greco Unification would be to a native English speaker. But Han Unification went through because native Japanese speakers were not in a position to block it. Representation matters.
Agreed with you there. It is so hard to find the right sounds that could help me to focus but it turns out it made it worse. There are few sounds that does help me to focus like heartbeating, I have a 30min opus file that is purely heartbeats. I gravities toward repeating sounds because they are easier to focus as they are rhythmic. Anything that are not rhythmic will mess with my pacing.

This is a good technique for the engineering/physics side of the coin. For the more academic and "pure" math it might not be such a great goal.

Also that's a lot of overhead.

Before my Ghost some 7-8 years ago I built a SFF PC with a Silverstone case. IIRC it was the SG08. It's old enough that it had a tray and a slot to put a slimline optical drive. It wasn't a bad case and had a decent PSU included but it was a bit fiddly. For example, you had to remove a few things to get into the case properly. I also ended up breaking the wire to some button at the back.

But yeah I sympathize with the issues in sourcing the Ghost. My first one took like 8 months to get.

Exactly, the "self analysis" bias is very strong and probably has its roots in psychology. HN's psychologically mature audience and mods (comparatively) probably tones down that tendency a bit, but many platforms need a separate meta category to prevent the community from spiraling around itself.

I wonder if the containers per berth number goes down as the number of berths increases in one port because other bottlenecks appear. I suspect adding more ports is actually a way to maintain efficiency here, but there's probably logistical challenges with that (skilled workforce, supply chain support, road network & other infrastructure to handle the volume, etc). There's probably also far more cost to adding a port than adding a berth.

Is that a problem, or just reality? One thing I think of a lot these days is the "domain community and the beginner problem". Specifically, many communities I'm tangentially related to seem to overcompensate for beginner comfort at the risk of missing the entire depth of the domain.

I do not see it as a problem that Vim doesn't supply the features you're describing, though I do understand where you're coming from. I am affirmed in my view when we remember that vim runs in a terminal emulator, and the features you're describing are non-trivial to implement in that environment.

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but I don't see this as a problem at all. As it relates to Vim, or many other tools and domains. If Vim was incentivized to increase the size its user-base, I may agree, but this is not the case.

> Meth in a bottle is called Adderral.

No, it's not. Please stop spreading this age-old myth*. You can literally buy prescription meth in a bottle, and it's called Desoxyn.

Adderall is extremely similar, because amphetamine is quite similar to meth (just an inferior version IME). D-meth is probably 20-30% more potent than d-amp dose for dose, but with somewhat reduced unwanted peripheral (body) side effects. The other main differences are meth releases some serotonin (not nearly as much as MDMA) while amp releases almost none, and that for whatever reason methamphetamine takes 3-3.5 hours to reach peak blood concentration when taken orally, whereas amphetamine peaks much sooner.

* I get it, the point isn't literally that it's meth, just that it's similar. But it's silly thing to say rhetorically when you can literally get prescription d-methamphetamine in the US under the brand name Desoxyn.
From the tweets, "containers are not fungible".

It is easy to understand that putting more CO2 in atmosphere has a heating effect.

So let me split the problem in small parts and see where you get lost

1 do you believe in chemistry,physics and math ?

2 do you believe CO2 is generated when burning stuff?

3 do you believe the CO2 in atmosphere is rising?

4 do you believer that more CO2 means more heat is trapped on the surface?

5 do you believe that the global warming is significant to have an effect?

6 if yes are you maybe just of the opinion that all will be fine and we just need to wait until new tech will solve this ?

I admit that you can just say "sure I believe in science but the numbers/measurements are false because of the "green industry lobby around the entire world that paid all the scientists in all countries and also went in tiem and modified 400+ years records" , then yes, science can't help you.

"TFA"?

OK, too bad. I still think there are seriously-hard problems in cosmology that are not explained: DM, DE, and inflation. I'm not convinced by the explanations that are on the table.

Nobody has to convince me of anything, of course; I'm just some old dude with a laptop, and a long interest in cosmology. I just think there's something wrong: those three proposed mechanisms are very hairy, in Occam's Razor terms. It would be deliciously sweet, if the observations they purport to explain could in fact be explained by a single, simple theory.
But what was supposed to be the first launch of the Falcon Heavy (USAF STP-2) was initially scheduled for March 2017. So maybe 2013 to 2019 isn't fair to compare, but 2017 to 2019 is still launching 2 years late.

This is not to say that what SpaceX is doing isn't incredible. But I get frustrated when articles like this take the promises of things like "<$10m per launch, and up to thousands of launches per year" as an absolute truth.

Edit: Had the original contracted launch date for the STP-2 mission wrong

For me, it's not so much noise but temperature and air freshness. I don't know why but if the stale is a tad too stale in my home office I just get distracted and can't focus well so I wind up opening the window before starting work so I can freshen the air and then close it to minimize the amount of city noises from creeping in. But I'll also say sound is important as well. It's why I like having a more clicky keyboard although my office mates are probably frustrated by my preference. A little bit of noise in the background is nice whereas full-on chatter pretty much puts my work to a stop.

Yep! I've had two nasty bugs (intermittent audio dropping and HDMI CEC power off being broken) that were fixed by firmware updates.

You're talking about the mechanism that sama wrote about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7605973. We recently restored the code to mostly work the way it did before that, so this effect should be less strong than it was. On the other hand, if you were to do a slightly better job of using HN in the intended spirit (and sticking to the site guidelines - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), we'd be happy to take the penalty off your account. The problem is that you're still posting comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29026954.

It's really hard to devise software protections to help HN stay within its mandate that don't at the same time end up penalizing a certain amount of benign activity.

Very odd question, but if as a person experiencing difficulty hearing who can get partial hearing from a hearing aid, can you experience binaural beats, which are essentially non-sound neurological artifacts of the brain processing and filtering slightly different tones?

Meta analysis of them here, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00426-018-1066-8 , full paper is on sci-hub.

Almost everything about binaural beats is very non-sciency and full of woo and nonsense, but if the ability to "hear" the brain artifact that doesn't register on the spectrogram of the sound caused by them were different for people experiencing hearing loss, experiencing the binaural beat "tone" in your head could indicate the persistence of some kind of physiological effect independent of direct hearing ability. If a person with reduced hearing didn't hear the binaural beat artifact, it would probably be just a harmonic or a simple wave interference pattern, and not the mysterious phenomenon it gets sold as.

I ask because they are a particular type of noise that you can use for focus and consistency to drown out other noises, similar to white, pink, rain sounds and other flavours of noise.

I've worked in private offices, cubicles, open plan offices, coffeeshops, libraries, and now many many hours in home both when other family members are around and when they aren't. I spend a lot of time thinking about sound and focus.

The conclusion I came to is that humans have a few emotional needs in order to reach deep focus:

1. We need to not be distracted and we need to feel certainty that we will not be distracted. Before we are comfortable untaking the work to architect a giant mental castle, we need to feel confident that someone won't come around to kick it down.

2. At a more primitive, simian level, we need to feel that we're in a safe environment. It's hard to focus on code if you're worried that a tree is going to fall on you or a lion will drag you off into the jungle.

When it comes to sound, those can be opposing. Because we are a social species, I think one of the things that makes us feel most secure is the ambient present of a fellow tribe. To our early ancestors, dead silence meant you were alone, and being alone in the wilderness was often a death sentence. We instinctively feel safest when we hear the chatter and hub-bub of relaxed tribemates puttering around nearby. We know we're not alone, that there are others will also be alerted if something happens, and that they also feel safe.

But the presence of fellow people can also mean that at any moment one of them might wander over and start talking to us. So hearing that ambient chatter can make it really hard to focus.

This is, I think, part of why working in a coffeeshop can be so effective. You get the sense of safety in numbers, but since they are all strangers and at least in the US the social norms go against talking to strangers, you know the odds are slim that you'll actually be interrupted.

A couple of comments (not a medical expert):

It's likely that the placebo/nocebo effect is confounded by regression to the mean - a typical example are diseases with some sort of cyclical pattern, e.g. some forms of depression.

But there is strong evidence that there is an effect beyond that: E.g. cancer patients die significantly sooner when they get a negative prognosis [1]. Acupuncture is so effective for treating certain forms of chronic (!) pain that in some cases it's covered by German health insurance since 2007 [2]. If you have been treated in a hospital for pain related issues, e.g. after a surgery, it's not unlikely you have received placebo instead of pain killers (depends a lot on jurisdiction).

Regarding [3] specifically, the obvious elephant in the room is that 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence'. Also see the refutations pointed out by user PaulDavisThe1st [4]. What I take away from that study is that yes, in some contexts, regression to the mean may account for a major portion of the placebo effect.
