The crucial qualifier being “in mice”. Regardless it’s cool that this works in mice, but animal model results fail to generalize to humans more often than not.

I would expect the schedule for the first $X months/$Y km to differ from subsequent periods. Manufacturing tolerances are incredible these days but there is still going to be a period of high wear leading to less and less new particulate in the fluids. At some early point, months if not weeks or days after the mechanical bits all have experienced a range of conditions, a fluids change would be beneficial. Most of the wear having taken place, it will take much more time to reach the same level of contamination after the first fluids change.

Does your owner’s manual recommend abiding by certain speed/rpm limits during a break-in period? I’m pretty sure my (Canadian) old car/old truck do.

In my experience, Dota unranked games are basically taken just as seriously as ranked games. But most games either don't have proper unranked matchmaking or it goes as you say - people take it more casually.

After looking at the other repositories in their account I get a sense that here’s somebody trying to test his knowledge by explaining it to someone else. In this particular case the knowledge of Forth and that someone else being Bash.

Also, for me, there’s a certain power that ubiquitous readily-available technologies like Bash have and I enjoyed browsing through what I see as an honest and clean exploration of its possibilities.

Cars take a bit of a beating here in the UK, we salt the heck out of our roads, you’re never more than 100 miles from the sea and it rains all the time. I just scrapped a 14 year old A4 as it had got to the point where so much was rusting away it simply wasn’t worth it. I don’t know anyone with a far older than 15 years.

Viruses don't mutate toward being more deadly. In fact they mutate away from it. There's active natural selection to spread faster, and be less deadly, and that's exactly what Omicron is. Why Covid was deadly in the first place was because it targeted some other animal with different defenses and had natural immunity toward it. Then it jumped species to humans and suddenly was quite deadly, but spread somewhat poorly as it wasn't catered to humans yet. Several mutations later it now spreads crazy rapidly but it's killing a lot fewer people.

A virus' end "goal" is to be endemic in the population. Infecting and spreading but killing almost no one, just like the flu does.

If they put even a portion of the funds they would have spent into funding said free projects... I mean GnuPG is now no longer requiring or even accepting donations because of what a German city level government did to promote open source: https://lwn.net/Articles/880248/

Governments sharing and pooling their resources for open source just makes sense.
I agree that the comment might have seemed more interesting if you hadn't seen that tweet before, but that's an illusion for several reasons. First, the tweet has been repeated often enough to have achieved informational heat death (I get that you hadn't seen it, but that's an anomaly); second, it plays on a tedious flamewar trope in its own right; third, the comment didn't add any information.
The big expense is time and the third way is that we scale up by having sysadmins and developers create services that are significantly easier to use and maintain as a whole.

If you're looking for a solid example of this look at Instagram which at the time of it's sale had 13 employees and ~10 million users.

Even if all 10 million of those folks had the expertise to run their own server, keep it updated and secure, keep backups, etc. it's still just wildly more efficient to have it centralized and hosted for you.
Great read. One thing you may be interested to know: when do you need paxos or similar, and when can you get away with gossip and CRDTs? the answer is that the set of domains that can be expressed using CRDTs is exactly the set of monotonic logic.

It’s a bit tricky to explain precisely in an HN comment but basically, something is monotonic if, once you learn that something is true, nothing can disprove it. For example, let’s say you know of a bunch of nodes on a graph, and you’re slowly learning about edges between the nodes. Once you see a cycle, no amount of new edges will ever “disprove” the cycle. So this means that, if what you care about is cycles, then a CRDT is fine. However, let’s say you’re trying to do disturbed garbage collection of nodes that have no edges leading to them. (And as before you’re slowly learning about new edges.) You can see a node has no edges leading to it that you know of, but if you think a node of garbage-collectible you might always be proved wrong by learning about a new edge. So the problem of distributed garbage collection can’t be solved using CRDTs.

There’s a paper on this that you’ll find if you google for the CALM theorem.
Those questions and more can be answered from a diversity of news sources. I suppose the New York Times documentary has the most amount of video; the problem is too much video.

But, for reference, the command tent is in a video posted by the President’s son. The distributor of burner phones is part of the FBI investigation, not sure how directly she worked with the White House. Of the 700 people arrested, only 40 have been charged with conspiracy; those are overwhelmingly members of groups with manifestos.

Hope that helps
If I feed that particular line to GPT-J, at low temperatures it sensibly responds with something along the lines of "The correlation is not a causal relationship." (at exactly 0 temperature it's "The correlation is not that strong.").

At higher temperatures it does go delightfully off-rails, though:

"Trump is like a woman: he’s very good at wringing dollars out of bulging cellphones. If you have a dollar (or, in the case of Kim, a string of them) for every tweet mentioning Jerusalem, Israel, or Trump (and there are hundreds of tweets that mention Trump and/or Jerusalem or Israel every day), so long as that dollar is in your local bank account, you might be able to buy some Pyongyang coal."

or alternatively

"Isn't this a bit too obvious? The climate in Pyongyang is entirely determined by the weather in Trump Tower."
not at all

when i was in high school kids had iphones because they liked them and kids had androids because they liked them

everyone thinks kids do shit for status or clout and not just because we want to and make a choice of our own

lots of kids bought airpods because they work well not because they look cool or whatever

the kids who bragged about having the latest iphone were laughed at and the same went for android kids
There was a great article on here yesterday that hits the nail on the head: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29845208

Distributed standards inherently become ossified and are unable to innovate. The path of least resistance is to centralise and gain control, which allows fast iteration and innovation.

Fundamentally, as a user I don't care about Google's or Microsoft's excuses. They're some of the biggest companies in the world. They've largely centralised their systems (G Suite, Office 365, Teams, etc...), yet have failed to capitalise on this centralisation, unlike Apple.

I mean, we're talking about a trivial thing here: sending pictures! Yet only Apple gets this even remotely "right". Every other company is perfectly content with sending potato quality images, randomly mangling colours, etc...

I just installed Windows 11 on a brand-new, high-end laptop with an OLED HDR screen. It's a shit-show.

- HDR is off by default. I paid thousands for this feature, but let's just keep that disabled... for reasons?

- HEVC is unavailable by default, so apps like NetFlix silently downgrade to 1080p & SDR.

- HEIF support is available, but also off by default.

- The Dolby Vision Extension is available, but cannot be found via the App Store search(!). You have to find an external link to it, and use that to navigate to the hidden storage page to download it.

- Windows 10 used to have 10-bit SDR with wide gamut support. That has been removed. You can only have a colour-managed desktop by default in HDR mode.

- HDR mode is forcibly disabled if you're running on battery. So you unplug your laptop and the colours shift.

I could go on and on. And on. And on.

You can't blame "standards" for this. Microsoft and Google are just too lazy to do things right, to have things "just work".

With Apple, I can send another person a Dolby Vision 4K 60fps HDR video in a text message and it will work. With a much more powerful Windows 10 computer I can't. It won't play, and even if it does, it'll probably stutter like mad because an 8-core 5 GHz laptop struggles with something my phone can handle smoothly.

No it's incredibly abnormal. It's a sign of brainwashing and paranoia.
The intention is not to "shut down any kind of debate". This is about comment quality. Your comment was obviously below the bar—it was rude, personal, and added zero information. Please don't post like that here—we're trying for a different kind of conversation.

Btw, repeating someone else's self-deprecating remark can absolutely be a form of personal attack; especially if you then pile on, as your comment did. That's not nice at all.
"Wouldn't that just mean you'd have to make sure the data doesn't contain private identifying information to start with"

That condition is not easy.

It is very hard, to have data about people related stuff, without private identifying information - especially because now there is face recognition and co.
You're right, I was thinking of a regular ban / account lock out.

text messaging was prohibitively expensive. wifi was ubiquitous.

america bid down the cost of SMS first so there was never any urgency to move off of sms. developing nations did not have the same luxury.
Probably out of his short ripe time.
This was my take too, it was clearly meant in general, not 100% of people. Taking it to mean 100% is a little disingenuous.
As a general rule, continuous chemistry processes are significantly more efficient than batch-y processes (just like data infrastructure). In practice, batch-y chemical processes also have higher capital costs. Operational efficiency of a given physical plant can vary widely based on operational parameters, and it is this that strongly recommends against variable duty cycles.

Chemistry is an exercise in biasing a stochastic process to produce high yields of a desired chemical. This is very sensitive to small changes in the environment e.g. temperature, pressure, pH, concentration, et al. At scale, it is impossible to have a uniform reaction environment as a matter of physics, so the objective is to get as much of the environment as close to the ideal point as possible with clever engineering and then keep the system in equilibrium around that point. This involves finding approximate solutions to vast and fiendishly intractable systems of partial differential equations, that can also be turned into a real physical plant.

If you have variable energy inputs, the system will very likely spend most of its time outside the high-yield sweet spot of its operational parameters. It also takes a long time for these systems to reach equilibrium (often hours or days). Effectively, these processes are binary -- at equilibrium or turned off -- with significant spin up and spin down times with terrible yields.

With base load power, you can have hydrogen electrolysis as part of your continuous chemistry process. A close (but not quite) drop-in for a methane reformation subsystem.

So how is variability (e.g. due to demand) often handled in real systems? They run several plants in parallel and shutdown a fraction of those plants, incurring the startup/shutdown costs. Some industrial chemistry is adequately done batch-y e.g. mining related, but most things asymptotically converge on continuous steady-state processes because there are significant economic benefits in doing so.

Hydrogen electrolysis is probably amenable to batch production without a significant loss of efficiency, though it would incur storage costs you would not have with a continuous plant. The bigger issue is that the downstream processes to which hydrogen is feedstock are unlikely to be amenable to efficient batch production. Because ammonia is produced at such exceptional scales, efficiency matters, and electrolysis is already more expensive than methane reformation.
A lot of times when you make one of something, there's stuff you would make tooling for if you were going to do more than one, but which instead you do by hand. Sometimes this is even true in software, but not very often, because the advantages of being able to recompile something from source code are so huge.
That's fair, thanks for the clarification. Would that clear the bar if that post was a Show HN? I feel like one of the problem here is that the author isn't here to listen to the feedback anyways, so anything that is "feedback" isn't very interesting.
It will be year 3 of covid and this is 100% the fault of the same people who have created every other problem in the education system: the administrators. There is no perfect way to open schools, that much is certain after looking at other countries. But looking at the state of things, it doesn’t even seem like people are trying.

Japan has students come in on alternate days, so that the school can operate at 50% capacity. Mask mandates, social distancing and temperature checks are enforced strictly. Sweden has kept its schooling open (although it has had covid outbreaks, but the numbers were similar to Finland where the schools were closed). Uruguay opened up schools early for its most vulnerable kids. The point being, there are different ways to solve the problem, but only in America, can we be stuck with the worst way to do it.
> Instead of being locked to one smartphone ecosystem, WhatsApp supported all platforms, including Android and feature phones (and the iPhone). This facilitated its worldwide adoption, in countries where feature phones were more common at the time (or still are).

I recall there being other cross platform apps out there, like Skype, Viber, Tango, and others. But what blew me away, and what I assume blew others away about WhatsApp, is that it simply used your phone number and SMS 1 factor authentication as your verification/login.

This solved the problem of spammers, plus no login name/password combo made it dead simple for non tech literate people. My grandparents in a developing country figured it out without even knowing English.

And the app itself was just extremely polished. I remember being so frustrated at sharing contacts, and then WhatsApp came out, and sharing contacts became extremely easy.
I mean, this isn't for movies that are bought by Netflix from an existing rights holder, it's movies and series that are commissioned by Netflix. It seems reasonable that they'd want to capture as high quality as possible for as much content as possible, as you can always lose quality in post (or distribution). I don't suppose this would preclude directors using cameras that wouldn't work otherwise when needed (like clip from a cell phone camera).

I also have a hard time believing Netflix would be ok putting up money to capture a picture/series all in 16mm film (or that anyone would suggest the commercial success or artistic vision demanded it).

So it doesn't stifle creativity, it future proofs Netfix for the lucrative high end market, AND Netflix is paying (at least indirectly) for that level of quality. I don't see the problem here.
I can deal with the green text, what's annoying is when my S.O.'s father, who absolutely insists on using Android when the rest of us all have iPhones, insists on taking a video of my son and texting it to us, and it comes through as (I shit you not) some crazy potato resolution like 192x105 and is 300k despite being a minute long; this absolutely NEVER happens from another iPhone, the downsampling of both photos and video
>They are declining the vaccine because of misinformation and tribalism.

I know this is anecdotal, but my experience has been that many people are waiting until long term testing is complete. Remember that the FDA Approval letter for Pfizer indicated that they would need until June 2025[1] to complete testing on the myocarditis and pericarditis upticks in the young males who have taken it.

If the FDA says testing isn't complete on long term issues, why is it crazy that some people would rather wait until it is? Especially with all of the recent deaths of young healthy male athletes in 2021.[2]

Not sure why Android would want "iMessage is winning" as headline...
But to succeed in the educational system, you have to self study in a way that the system appreciates. That usually requires at least some external guidance. A student who studies the wrong subjects in chemistry gets no credit for that on the exam.
Seems prudent.
> JWST, like many other spacecraft, has reaction wheels to orient itself.

It should be noted that reaction wheels can saturate when the motor reaches its top speed. One then needs to spend fuel to provide a counter-force while the wheel to spins down.

So even with reaction wheels running off solar panels or similar you need fuel, though much less.

oh wow. did we read the same article?

these criticisms sound odd to me. the whole section about OpenSea removing Moxie's NFT. and how he wrote that he wasn't out to complain about them, is not how i read it at all. this is so odd.

i recommend people read Moxie's article.

the comment about people not wanting to run their own servers resonated with me. and with many i suppose. i mean, that's what we have been doing for a while now. that's why the cloud is thriving. that's why we like managed services.

i would not have added "and never will" though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what i want is the author to elaborate on how to turn phones into servers. i want that.
You might see more new things if you spend the next US$4 billion on a different instrument instead of a carbon-copy Lagrange-point infrared telescope. But you're right that you also might not.
Yeah, I have no interest in surround sound, I just want to hear the words. I specifically don't want to be rumbled by gunshots and explosions.
"starts with an explicit statement about addressing a non-technical audience. Pro-tip, if you do that, don't try to sound like you're on a crusade"

I would disagree, except if it is not meant too serious.
Musk can't just sell shares. People like him file a schedule with FCC in advance and sell based on the schedule. His tweets were misleading.
Yes, USD is the only accepted way of paying taxes in the USA. If you wanna live and consume in the USA, you need to pay tax. If you need to pay tax you need dollars. This is generally how a country ensures demand for their currency.
Maybe Hubble could take a snapshot or two?
And how many of those billions of people are using Internet in read-only mode, not creating any content? Don't know the percentages, but clearly it's a big majority, and that majority doesn't really need any servers on their own, there's no enough incentive for them in it.

But as views on the importance of privacy change, perhaps that will change too? Perhaps people will want an extra layer of protection, if it can be made easily available and convenient enough to them? Any modern phone's hardware right now could easily run a number of service nodes in some distributed network, if there was such a thing and if their use could be made fairly transparent to ordinary users.
America's COVID death rate is 3x that of Canada's.
My knowledge is basically 0, but from what I understood the sensitivity of the sensor is so high, that anything above its operational temperature would overload it and basically make a 'white' image. Basically like having a kitchen scale and then trying to weight an elephant on it (and somehow not breaking the scale in the process).
Early bird/late bird would actually make it a more convenient day care service for parents.
Teens may be in class, out somewhere, or (increasingly) have it locked down by parents during certain times. And they may only get short chances to sneak a look. Knowing your message got sent (or didn't) lets you mentally set it aside regardless of the other party's status. And if you do sneak a look it doesn't snitch to the other party, like FB Messenger.
> "David Naylor, a physician and former University of Toronto president who led a federal review into Canada’s response to the 2003 SARS epidemic, said hospital capacity probably plays a bigger role in Canadian decision-making than in the U.S. because Canada’s universal system means “the welfare of the entire population is affected if health care capacity is destabilized.”

> But he also argued that focusing only on hospital capacity could be misleading. “Both Canada and the U.S. have lower capacity than many European countries,” he wrote by email.

> The major difference between the two countries’ responses to Covid outbreaks is cultural, Naylor argues. In Canada, more than the U.S., policy is guided by a “collectivist ethos” that tolerates prolonged shutdowns and other public health restrictions to keep hospitals from collapsing." -article
Putting a provocative spin ("you're trapped in a mental prison and proud of it") on someone's personal description and throwing it back at them is not likely to end well. When you add patronizing putdowns ("calm your jets") and outright slurs ("my poor white trash friend"—yes I know the GP used the slur, but it's very different when you use it), you're way into the territory of personal attack. That's no way to send a positive message.

I'm sure you had a positive intention, but intent doesn't communicate itself on the internet. The burden is on the commenter to disambiguate: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
