Yeah, although maybe mentorship can scale reasonably well (or at any rate much faster than we are scaling it at present), I agree with you about collaboration: ten times as many people working on the LHC (or HEP in general) probably wouldn't be very effective. Now that we have Sci-Hub, the General Index, Wikipedia, Stack Exchange, and Google Scholar, we can probably collaborate a little more effectively than before, but not enough to cram orders of magnitude of people into a given subfield.

There might be a path forward in the work on making computational work easily reproducible, by people like Konrad Hinsen, Yihui Xie, Jeremiah Orians, Eelco Dolstra, Ludovic Courtès, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Ricardo Wurmus, and Sam Tobin-Hochstadt, but clearly it hasn't been a panacea so far. Speedrunning results are in many cases reproducible by virtue of nailed-down console hardware and bit-identical game images, but that's harder to achieve even for FEM simulations of turbulent MHD systems, much less actual experimental MHD systems like a Farnsworth fusor.

How do people initially get up to speed on speedrunning? Are there tutorials, the equivalent of a textbook with problem sets, some other onramp? Can we gamify learning quantum mechanics? (I've tried QiskitBlocks but so far haven't been impressed.)
how big is the local db?

*Remembrance
Because if it's open source or aimed at developers in some way, it wasn't built for you. It was built for everyone. It works by everyone helping everyone else use it.

Maybe you should get out your credit card and call a commercial software vendor if you want personal attention?
He always wanted a PhD in physics. He finally earned it at 89
I'm fine with that kind of enforcement for crossing the center line, but that's different from speed limits, and especially people that are going mildly over the speed limit on big close-to-straight roads.
My experience is that people expect an uncanny ability from the former, as opposed to just having never retired or changed a job by then.

Pretty much better to reduce the years on the resume.
The Air is a year old model. But yes, it only competes with premium PCs.

But, premium PCs aren’t useless if they only have 8GB RAM and 256GB SSDs, though. There are people who enjoy premium computers who have basic resource needs. Not all of them are developers or video editors.
Unless you’re on a major downhill, there’s no street legal e-bike doing 30 MPH.
A credit score is used as a trustworthiness analog in arenas other than lending. For example renting a house or car, and some phone companies won't give you access to a post-paid plan, all of which can have a stratifying effect. The idea that because I don't take on debt that I am not trustworthy is wrong. I can pay a larger security deposit to offset risk, but often times that's not an option.

I've also heard tell of employers using credit checks to evaluate potential employees though I haven't researched that.
That's different, and in that case a struct is preferred.

Don't confuse inexperience with culture.

I'm from a mostly-.NET background I argue with typical .NET developers all the time.

I also argue with Java developers, and C++ developers, and...
IPython has a sqlite-backed history too. I manage to corrupt it frequently, presumably due to segfaults in extensions I'm developing, or because I rarely have fewer than 10 sessions open. I don't mind occasionally restarting IPython and very rarely nuking its history... but if that happened to me in bash, I'd be beyond frustrated. Is a non-concurrent database really a good idea here?
There's usually no explosions, they burn vigorously.
But before that they get too hot to hold. Cell management requires thermal cutoffs for this reason.
Not sure about the 101 but most places won’t pull you over unless you’re going 10+ over. They did a super speeder law in my state where 85+ on any road or 20+ over gives you a much harsher penalty. The state patrol will sometimes sit and wait for the super speeders and let the 15+ people pass.
> and we don't currently know how to make a wormhole, but we know they're physically possible

I'm not aware of any actual observational evidence or even strong theoretical prediction that wormholes exist or that they are physically possible.

Some parameterizations of our models don't rule out their existence, but it's all hypothetical. Including the question whether they are traversable.
Ask HN: Learning pathway for deep learning/machine learning/AI in medicine?
Currently a masters student in physiology, in a non-technical lab. But would like to learn the technical skills required for understanding and applying deep learning (etc). I often see DL/ML/AI applied to fields such as radiology, dermatology, cardiology, and it would be great to not only understand this kind of research, but also be an active participant in the future.

As someone with a limited technical/quantitative background (currently learning R for a biostatistics course), what would be the ideal approach I should take to learn DL/ML/AI?

From my search it seems that there are two ways of approaching the learning roadmap/pathway:

(1) Practical approach: learn the right tools and apply them to the problem at hand.
(2) Comprehensive approach: understand the mathematics behind DL/ML/AI so that you have a greater understanding of the tools.

I think many researchers in medicine, especially if they're coming from clinical backgrounds as opposed to Comp Sci backgrounds, use this practical approach. This approach would be more feasible for someone like me, whereas learning all the required mathematics would probably take several years of study (on top of my other responsibilities).

Ultimately, what steps should I take? I think Step 1 would be to learn Python. I am already learning R, but I see Python used more frequently.
I haven't had any issues on desktop with Element, but OLM decrypting errors and stuck messages do appear on android from time to time
No idea why vegans or vegetarians would be gloating, no one is spraying cows with roundup (yes, I know cows feed off agriculture yields). All diets have serious externalities associated with them, no one should be acting like they're better.

Oh? Why? Kafka wasn't harmed. He was dead.
Sure! Custom integrations are our bread and butter (free software kind of doesn't pay the bills otherwise!)

Shoot me an email at support@, and I'll give you some pointers. If you want us to do it, we can do that too.
I will abandon a piece of software before I pay five bucks to join their non-archivable support channel.
Interesting, thanks. According to my measurements based on the Are-we-fast-yet suite the biggest difference is between Mono 5.2 and CoreCLR 5.0 on x64; about 28% speed-up from Mono to CoreCLR. The spread is smaller on x86 (about 18%). This speed-up is good but not the most impressive one I've ever seen.
Something with like these with lockable doors and some kind of integration for a child's car seat for would be nice!

Ask HN: Do you have any condition like ADHD, and if so how do you manage them?
As an engineer diagnosed with ADHD, I have my own ways of managing but I'm curious how others manage conditions affecting cognition and the executive functions of the brain in cognitive intensive fields.
>Hacker News is social media too.

Nope. Not even close.

Video games aren't social media either. These places can be used as a form of social media, but that requires quite a bit of work and a lot of profile browsing, setting up, etc.

In no form are they social media by default though.
I don’t know where you live, but in the SF Bay Area the SF Critical Mass and East Bay Bike Party are both pretty casual events… To the point they attract the odd skateboarder or roller skater.
Why not? Read the particle as there/remove the particle. On/off.
We also had uncountable useless products made from html/js.

Also the mentioned services make sense. You rent your unused flat to someone, or you ask for money for creating something regularly.

I really tried “getting” the web3 benefits, but all I see is mumbo jumbo / dotcom crash type hype.
Yep! That's exactly what you're seeing. Nice detective work!

Definitely some papercuts with that system that I'd be happy to spend some time optimizing. I'll probably file a bug and look into it this week.

Don't worry about being mean, if we didn't know how to take criticism, we would've gotten out of this game a long time ago. Every bug report (no matter how pedantic) ends up improving the software as a whole, and that ends up with everybody winning
I never said it was. It’s a reference that most interviewers will have on hand before/during the interview.

Do you have a link to some examples of that? I don't remember pg being remotely vitriolic about anything in his recent writing, but I haven't followed closely, am not on Twitter etc.
I would be totally fine with a photo ID alternative or any other "harder" alternative. At least there is an alternative.
I'm sorry, but I absolutely hate e-bikes.

We in Asia have figured the urban transit riddle long ago: Motorbikes or the more sustainable option; electric scooters [1]. If we are going to share the road, might as well everyone becomes capable of reaching similar speeds. E-bikes necessitate a cyclist lane for no good reason.

It's not open source though. I think it used to be a while back but it hasn't for a long time. There's also the fact that it's more difficult to modify software and self host it when it was never built fir that, vs something that was (i.e. reddit vs Discourse
> The speed limit is for everywhere for safety.

Absolutely not. Speed limits that don't fit the roads they're on are not a safety measure. Outside of really blatant speeders, it's the road design that needs to make things safe or not and do the bulk of the work in guiding people to a reasonable speed.

But even separate from that issue, tons of speed limits are set for reasons like "people complained about noise, probably unreasonably" or "we want to make money off tricking drivers".
> Edit: to add on, bikes are like 1-2 orders of magnitude cheaper than cars too, both in upfront and ongoing costs also. It’s super unfortunate that it still gets the stereotype as a “rich white people” activity when it’s really so much more financially accessible than a car.

Here’s a theory: road cycling is more available to those who live reasonably close to work and have time to spare, and that is relatively rich people. Poorer people literally cannot afford not to have a car because they have to travel long distances to work, and their areas are not well served by public transport.
Ha! US carriers only go on water, they’ve made a huge mistake
You can get decent e-bikes for under $1k. It is still a lot but not ridiculous
This, combined with linker stripping below even assembly level for smaller static binaries.

.NET 7 will work on NativeAOT for instantaneous startup of especially smaller apps, but I think they’ve already optimized JIT warmups or something — I was pleasantly surprised when I just wrote a .NET 6 console app that read JSON from a server.

Does hn silently remove vaccine misinformation? I'm used to seeing "flagged" or downvoted to hell.

Are you going to host and maintain the forums for them? I'm not a fan of this particular use case for Discord but it's pretty much the easiest solution to online discussions that's currently available.
AFAIK cell modems generally have functionality to send/receive SMSs, and you should be able to do that with the right software.

Completely agree about the walls of commercial surveillance closing in though.
Came here to write something along the lines of "useless for me, because I hardly ever use cd at all in order to get a history containing lots of useful full path references". But you're right, something modern could be far more elegant.

(but it won't happen, these days it's crazy rare to "dig in" in a dazzlingly customized environment, we'd rather tweak our skills to work on the widest range of default environments. Certainly not the best conditions for innovation)
I'm a researcher in Biotech, and honestly, a working at curiosity driven research institute is all I've ever wanted from a career. I have the credentials and have proven myself academically, and in industry, but this kind of position is just so hard to find! I really just need time and a small amount of resources to work on ideas. I usually struggle to get more than 20% of my time working on my own ideas.

I've spoken with colleagues over the years, and when I bring up this desire, so many of them feel the same way. Many of these people are incredibly accomplished and come from top institutions. What a waste to not give that magnitude of creativity an outlet! The only path I see to this type of life now, is independent wealth. It just strikes me as such an opportunity to create a place for these people. If you build it they will come!
Ask HN: Should PDF Be Replaced?
The Portable Document Format has lost it's relevance in IT. There are many newer, open technologies like HTML that surpass the formats functionality.

The specification is ever-growing and out of sight. Adobe's proprietorship of PDF almost comes off as lure for needing to purchase Acrobat for simple editing. They really do not want other vendors or software firms having the leverage they do for a product so basic it shouldn't really exist.

The industry dominance Adobe has on document formats is a burden to users that deserve something open.
Sidewalks let you fill in gaps in the protected path network by riding slowly.

In my city at least you can't really go fast on the sidewalks even if they're empty (lots of uneven brick, chunky curbs, trees, buildings have stoops, etc) so it's not a big issue. If someone has to go a couple blocks on the sidewalk they'll generally get back on the path / road as soon as able
Not really. Almost all current nuclear waste is stored on site in casks and does fine.

Fly ash produced by coal just in the US dwarfs it in both volume, total toxicity AND total radioactivity, and is in the 30+ millions of tons a YEAR. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_ash#Disposal_and_market_...]

Thankfully a lot of it is used in cement and similar that entrains it decently safely (dilution is the solution), but just the portion that doesn’t on any given year outweighs all nuclear waste ever produced
I was quoting from the excerpt I quoted above, not saying you were hurling epithets. I think that what you're doing is equally offensive.

I don't think you believed the things he believed for the same reason he did, in part because the quality of this conversation is so spectacularly different from any conversation I ever had with him.
See " What does [dead] mean? " on https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html You can enable 'showdead' in your profile.
I prefer the custom tag approach, remembering that precision may go to day or month or year independently: I may know its easter, but not which year the wedding is, if you follow my reasoning, or know its 1932, but not which day of which month.

That said, in month digits you have 13-99 and in day digits you have 32-99 as well as 00 in each field.

So if you find yourself wanting to overload a field, there is one special value in each of month and day to flag one thing, and then 6 bits in each other field than year, to signal specific things. Could be 1 bit for +/- and then 32 values of imprecision, which means you can express uncertainty within a year completely, relative to any date.

The standards guy in me says "please don't overload fields"

It's not social media. It can be used as social media.

Strong difference. The same way Minecraft is not social media, but it definitely can be used as social media.

Kind of annoying seeing people calling anything with an input box as "social media".

The linked resource says "dead" means "a post is killed"...I suppose that's literally true, but what rules does hn use to determine whether to kill a post?

I applaud hn, but I didn't realize they'd taken a stand to remove misinformation?

EDIT: not sure why the downvote. I wanted to know the criteria for something getting killed. Helpfully answered below in this specific instance (not just the general case).

The post is obviously false. I didn't realize if someone posted a random base64 string it would get deleted. Nice to know. I'm not sure most users do.
There are plenty of market failures out there. Why would this be necessarily any different?

The customer support systems we run do not have local logins and we use SSO and an identity provider that is only accessible on our company VPN. Other safeguards apply as well.

Since the company sells banking software and payment systems account numbers, cc numbers, and other identifiers are put into “sensitive” fields that are encrypted on our SaaS providers servers. We have a proxy server that decrypts the data in transit at our networks edge. Even the SaaS provider doesn’t have the keys to see these types of fields.
I had that happen, too — even after successfully receiving the passcode at my recovery address, and entering it, they still denied login. Presumably it's a bug in their system (being generous), but who knows when they'll fix it, if ever?

The Mueller report said they found no such evidence, and therefore it failed to consider the evidence put before the FISC court in the first place.

Scientists work on the basis of "what we know" because from a practical point, you can't work off a foundation of what you don't know.

When pushed, all scientists will admit "based on current understanding".

This is what makes a "breakthrough" revision of understanding so exciting! It doesn't happen every day!
I read the article and it was as ridiculous as you'd expect. Personally I am concerned that the government is trying to pull a fast one on us. They have all this debt and now they are trying to inflate it away to make it easier to pay off. Not really sure how to hedge though, as everything already seems overvalued, and I won't get into crypto until the Tether fiasco blows up.
I don't think ebikes are replacing walking trips though, but car trips. The requirement to anticipate, prepare for, and endure the weather (including cold, snow, rain) makes bikes much less appealing to people who already own cars, which is almost everyone in the US.

I think the main reasons bikes aren't popular are:
safety (perceived)
weather
cargo capacity
effort requirement

Enthusiasts don't mind the latter and reluctant cyclists will still find sufficient deterrents even if it's eliminated. So I don't think ebikes are really going to move the needle in terms of ridership, regardless of what their buyers tell themselves at time of purchase.
Don’t forget the cavernous spaceship with acoustics and privacy issues that has caused many an engineer to loathe working in it. That was his design too.

Hmm, are you saying that high Tc superconductivity, the Geiger-Marsden results falsifying the plum-pudding model, and the quantum Hall effect were predicted theoretically before they were discovered empirically? I thought that these were three of the more spectacular cases of unexpected experimental results that bore great theoretical fruit.

Possibly you intended to post your comment in reply to one of Jensson's comments rather than mine?
LA is surprisingly dense for an American city. I’m too lazy to look up LA numbers, but in the US as whole most car trips are under 5 miles. This is perfect e-bike distances, and after accounting for finding parking, walking across a massive surface lot or riding elevators down a parking deck, the e-bike might be just the same amount of time.

It's the Edgley EA-7 Optica

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgley_Optica
I've had good luck answering those questions by pretending I know nothing about my own life, and using only information I can find from search engines to answer those questions (eg "What city is LAKE STREET in" - search for each option they give you to see if it has a Lake St). The few times this has failed (probably 70% success rate), they usually just want to send you a letter in the mail instead. I'd much rather wait a few days than end up confirming their surveillance records about me.
