That's not true. This time last year, the Beacon chain had only been running for a little more than a month. Also the code was not complete to merge Pow/PoS chains. The merge has already happened on Testnet, so literally the full merge could be done on Mainnet tomorrow if the Ethereum core team wanted to.
Flying was one of my most irrational fears until Westjet introduced me to a pilot. He went into a truly massive amount of detail on their systems (both manual and automated) that prevent things like this.

I’m not a pilot (I’m still very scared) and it’s been a long time so forgive me if my language isn’t correct. However, my understanding from that conversation is that this sort of thing is a system failure. Nobody got hurt and there may have been no damage, but they would consider this an overall system failure.

Several people made mistakes here. There was the pilot who made the near fatal entry. And many pilots failed to spot the error. They didn’t perform their pre-flight properly and would have had to forget a checklist.

They apparently didn’t even figure it out when the runway lights changed to signify “you done fucked up.” (Can a pilot weigh in?? Is that an aviation term?) :)

This system failed. It’s pure luck that everyone survived.

In my experience playing with Google Maps in Death Valley was that it pretty much resisted routing you on serious 4WD "shortcuts" even where they cut off a lot of distance. The only exception I found was when you gave it an endpoint that required going on such a road.

What it's not as good about in my experience is dealing with snow covered back roads. It's too quick to my way of thinking to take you on a back road when it doesn't need to--or a more difficult/longer back road route than it has to (although some of the distinctions may not be made by the underlying data). Which is probably part of the problem. The underlying data sets (such as TIGER in the US) don't really do a great job of distinguishing roads once you get past basic paved roads.

And of course recent and current weather can make a big difference. Even an interstate can be difficult driving in a snowstorm. Though that's really on the driver to use their own judgement.

ADDED: The article does say that "Waze has a filter that allows drivers to avoid unpaved roads." While hardly a panacea, this seems like a reasonable easy cut even though unpaved roads can be well maintained in good weather and paved roads can be challenging.

Works better than an IV because your digestive system can absorb it faster.

Basically one liter of water, 2 tablespoons (25g) of sugar, 1/2 (5.7g) teaspoon of salt. Make sure the salt to sugar ration is correct. It's ok to use more than a liter, but not less than a liter.

Gatorade can be used instead, but isn't as good. Pedialyte and other preparations are a better version of it.

Have a look at [1]. One is edible without special considerations, the other is potentially lethal if you don't corrently boil it in a well-ventilated room first (and take care not to breathe in too much of what you're boiling off). People are regularly hospitalised for doing stupid stuff like standing over the pot. Most advice I've seen tell people to not eat even properly prepared gyromitra too often (at least one book on foraging tells people to avoid more than one meal a year of it).

If you're experienced and aware of the existence of gyromitra, you'll probably do just fine. But I totally understand if people don't feel confident that they'd make the right call. The colours looks obviously different on those pictures, but try looking at some other pictures to get an idea of the colour variations.

I don't want to put people off foraging for mushrooms, because I absolutely agree with you that many of the tastiest kinds are rarely available without foraging (more often available at markets than in stores, but inconsistently certainly; even gyromitra can be bought at markets in some countries), but better that people are well aware of the potential for misidentification so they seek proper advice and learn how to distinguish them first (and are aware that the risk factors varies greatly between regions depending on which similar mushrooms exists there).

Ask HN: How can I do some functional workout while building something?
Hey HN,

Let me give you some context for my question.

I am a 42 yo developer, completely sedentary for the last 15 years or so, slightly overweight. I am worried about my overall health and mobility going into old age, so I started to exercise a bit last year; the thing is that I am utterly unmotivated by any sort of workout.

I never ever had the slightest motivation to go to the gym or any weight training. It's not that I hate; I just feel bored to death, I don't know. And my current long-term health concern is not enough motivation for daily commitment, I know. I am sure I won't like the motivational tactics of something like CrossFit, where someone shouting, high volume upbeat music, and group commitment are supposed to motivate you. I don't work that way. I am trying Pilates with my wife. Just the two of us and a trainer. The scheduled sessions and my wife has been helping me adhere to it for the last few months, but I know I don't look forward to the sessions and that, at some point, will make me quit.

I hate running as well, but I love to play soccer and sometimes basketball. The thing is that living in a high-density big city with busy friends is hard to find somewhere practical to play it recurrently. I am committed to finding a way to play it weekly, but even so, it will be just one weekly session of aerobic training without the functional part (which is what I am more worried about).

So, I am looking into what would motivate me to do some functional physical exercise. I am a builder. Building something will certainly motivate me. I do that with software all the time. Building things that don't go anywhere just for the joy of doing it. So I started to wonder if there is a hobby out there that demands the body enough to put me in shape.

And that brings the question: what could I physically build that would be good enough functional training while learning the craft of building it?

I am looking for something long-term. It could take years to build something acceptable, as long as the learning process is also physically demanding.

There are some more restrictions. I live in an apartment without a backyard, so no space to build a shed or anything like that. But feel free to mention good ideas that fit my purpose, and I can try to find a way to fit them into my life.

My first thoughts went to things like carpentry, masonry, sculpture, farming, gardening, ceramics. I am not interested in hobbies where you don't build anything but are fun for some people, like dancing or rock climbing.

Any ideas, HN?

But that economic system is built on barely 2 century old philosophy you take for granted. It is not "human nature". If you could argue for any political system to be "human nature" it would be feudalism or anarchism-without-adjectives.

What is being sacrificed? Equal starting conditions to start with. Wealth in capitalism tends to concentrate. Social mobility exists, but it is severely limited. Exploitation through holding capital is mandatory. I'm feeling this right now, I am in the top 25% income bracket overall and much better if accounting for age, yet I will never be able to do such trivial things regular workers could do just a few decades ago such as build a house, thanks to the freedom afforded to the absolute top end to turn housing into a speculative commodity. If I lived in the US, a considerably "freer" society than mine, my entire wealth would be consumed by healthcare, a result of the freedom of hospitals and insurers to charge arbitrarily high fees for maximum extraction.
>Is reddit really in decline, though? Doesn't seem like it. In fact, arguably things improved a lot in the past year.

That depends on your quality metrics, and, of course, personal taste. To me, the continuous branching off of more and more arcane subreddits means two things:

- Your own voice bears more weight as the new arena is smaller at its inception

- The overall quality of discussions is getting blander as not every tiny niche sub can keep ace thinkers

So it appears that you can't have it both ways - fostering a great discussion atmosphere where, at the same time, every voice will be equally considered.

Startups should not be hypotheses, they should be an arbitrage.

If the cost to start is 0, a startup should not be involve in testing markets (which is not possible), but should target large markets with a lot of competition (for example, book selling)

This is the last mover advantage.

Based on that you can skip the validation phase. Than the startup should become good at one aspect of this big market and just grow from there.

It isn't just hash/watt, it is $/hash. HBM is expensive. This is also why the bitmain boxes only come with 6gb. The dag will eventually grow and render them useless, just like we saw with 4gb gpus...

The ethash asic's are not that much better than GPUs as they are all bound by memory controller speed. Even with faster memory, the gate is always how fast you can move through the DAG. That red circle is the issue...

https://www.vijaypradeep.com/blog/2017-04-28-ethereums-memor...

The only benefit of the bitmain boxes is that they are plug and play. You buy one box, stick it on the shelf, plug it in and that's it. GPUs are significantly more difficult to tune and run, especially at large scale.

The ROI on these boxes is terrible... imaging you buy one and it burns out... zero chance for repairs on any sane timeline.

Why does bitmain sell it? Easy money for a company that has a long history of ethics violations. When I was buying L3+'s directly from bitmain, they'd come clearly used.
Some of these are pretty pretentious and it means one company can claim the 2ld for their industry, eg https://story.new and https://repo.new
> As a person who worked on systems with thousands of tests. I cannot stress enough that there should never be any randomness added to the automatic tests. Most times it is better to add more tests then to make a test do many things.

Completely agreed.

To put a real cost to this: I worked at AWS on a major service. The test suite ran nightly (it required a shared environment and the tests took almost 10 hours; an argument for the importance of independence and test speed for sure, but that's a different discussion). It was also filled with spurious failures; on a good day, each team might "only" have to deal with 10 random failures, while a "bad" day might have seen 20-30.

As such, a process was put into place: each team had a dedicated "QA on-call" resource that rotated every week. The QA on-call's role was to, every day, look at the test logs and investigate the failures assigned to their team, providing an explanation of why the test failed, and certifying that it wasn't actually a problem. Due to the nature of the system, this generally took all day regardless of whether it was a good or bad day, though on bad days it might even require pulling in an extra person on your team to help.

So with 10 teams and let's call an average AWS engineer's salary $250k, you're looking at $2.5 million/year spent just due to flaky tests requiring manual investigation.

In fairness, these tests were flaky because they were integration suites using real networking, hardware, and other AWS services, so flakiness was somewhat inevitable. But intentionally introducing nondeterminism and random failures in tests would lead to the same thing.
In a sense, dangerous. Google has a history of (and currently practices) censoring viewpoints it disagrees with. Will its censorship reach extend from omitting / deprioritizing search results to entirely canceling those using its TLDs that it deems undesirable?

Yep, it's the classical runaway tram problem: people will die anyway, but we should kill as fewer people as possible.

So, let look at nuclear risks:

* potential damage area is extremely high. If a state sponsored actor will take control over a nuclear station or nuclear waste store, he can blast it and disperse over half of a continent. Unlike nuclear weapon, it will be very dirty, so it's better not to do at same continent, but an Asian or African country can do that in the USA.

* potential loses are very high, up to billions of people, if major part of the continent will be contaminated. Nobody can provide insurance for such event.

If we increase the number of nuclear stations by 10x, risks will increase by 10x or more, because it's easier to guard a few stations than a dozen or a hundred stations.

To keep risks low, safety of stations must be improved by the same number, otherwise, by increasing the number of stations by 10x we will have a Chornobyl/Fukushima level event every 3-5 years.

Do you see a way to improve safety of nuclear stations and waste storage by 10x, while keeping construction cost and construction time in acceptable range?

> why is `close` in libpthread.so?

That's because close() is a pthreads "cancellation point" (see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/pthreads.7.html for details), so it needs special handling when the process is using pthreads. If the process does not link to libpthread.so, the implementation in libc.so (which probably doesn't have cancellation point support) will be used.
> One reason so many people think they have ADHD is because they make that mistake.

Speaking of which: has anyone had the experience where they sought to be evaluated for ADHD and the professional they went to said "nope, this doesn't look like ADHD"?

I'm wondering if there are criteria people use to exclude ADHD as a diagnosis, or if the assumption is that if people are seeking diagnosis/treatment that they're experiencing something enough like it and should be given ADHD interventions (and of course, the incentive under fee-for-service would be to provide the intervention for a fee).
Close, on a synthetic fd with no I/O performed, should not take 100ms per call. This is a Linux performance bug.
IMHO Europe should do a hard fork of DNS before it is too late. States already mess with the DNS of major telcos for censorship anyways. Regaining control over the new purely capitalist take of the Internet would finally be something good.
If you don't charge customers for their debit/credit card payments (which again you sometimes legally cannot do) the point stands even if you have a 0-fee payment option since even if you choose to use that you are still paying for other people's transactions.
