I don't remember if it's a quote from Kahneman or Tversky, but I always liked the idea of asking "Hmm. That's not right, but what is it true of?" instead. [IIRC, it's mentioned in Thinking, Fast and Slow].
I run octordle, and I think you're right. I went with boards + 5 which felt like the sweet spot. Presently the win rate is 55% which seems good.

Early on friends complained it was too hard. In my experience after a few games it gets pretty easy.
When did private business pay for scientific instruments, like particle colliders and gravity enterferometers?
Silicon valley would name it, ahem... Atomicly. Uber for atoms.
I recall the analogy attributed to Gene Spafford:

> Using encryption on the Internet is the equivalent of arranging an armored car to deliver credit card information from someone living in a cardboard box to someone living on a park bench.

Why the F would you even bother with Signal if you're just going to record the call to some other third party service? This is an enormous and stupid mistake.
>The turn signals are touch on the wheel, people are adding stupid 3d bump stickers to give themselves something they can feel for without sight.. to use a stupid turn signal.

>This also means the wipers are fully auto with only the touch screen override.

Both of these should be illegal in my opinion. Indicators and wipers are absolutely essential to operate without looking.

I can't believe Tesla gets away with this garbage that puts all road users at risk.

What's next? Touch screen steering wheel?
I wonder how many varieties of various languages it will recognize, and how many it will flag as erroneous. For example, is Catalan a variety of Spanish, a language, or erroneous Castilian? How about Gascon vis-à-vis French? I also wonder whether AAVE will be recognized on a level with Indian English, for example.
I thought this was going to be something about the discovery of the blood brain barrier. Great story though!
DUDE is a FAANG developer! Does he know he can get a sweat salary with a ad agency with those skills?!?
Oh that’s cool, didn’t realize 1pw had a self-hosted version, will check it out.
I think you’re accurate about both.
This attitude is too defeatist, and I'm not convinced. The OP's suggestion was that people would choose which other "favorite lists" or "indexes" they follow, this implies these are public. Who's going to follow someone who puts a StackOverflow clone filled with ads on their list? And if they do, and it shows in my results, I should be able to discover that someone I'm "following" has been compromised, and I'll unfollow them.

I'm almost scared to ask... how else would you install an exterior door?
I'm cautiously excited/optimistic for this.

That said, I wonder if this feature will end up seeing all that much usage? Once your inputs are sanitized/bounded in a Golang application, it's pretty hard to get the language to do things it wasn't meant to do - and if the fuzzing system is built like the unit testing system, the number of useful fuzzing cases you can run won't be that large.

I've always thought that fuzzing primarily benefits E2E/integration testing, and that with modern languages' type systems and lack of pointer arithmetic the usage of fuzz testing is useful for niche cases (embedded programming and cryptography come to mind). The examples in the article (integer overflows, truncated input, invalid unicode) may be issues, but they won't break the integrity of the program or cause catastrophic failure (assuming there are no panic() calls in the code) due to Go's type system.
This is a design choice and not inherent in college loan forgiveness.

For example, one could easily imagine a loan forgiveness program where only people making less than $50,000 a year have their loans forgiven. Or a program where the loans are not forgiven all at once, but the regular payments are taken over by the government, and the person becomes responsible for the payments themselves if they begin to make more than some inflation-adjusted amount.
It comes up all the time 100 line one-off scripts in python. You start off with 10 lines that you're iterating on. You move some snippet to a function, don't de-dupe your variable names from the global scope, and you get a bug where you thought "x" was scoped to the function, but wasn't actually defined in the function so you're using the global "x". Yes, this could be fixed by moving the global statements into a main() function, but this breaks your repl workflow and you have to resort to breakpoints in main().

If you have a low sustaining calorie level due to past diets, you might want to look up reverse dieting to make the whole thing easier. But even with a low level you shouldnt have much problems once you manage to track your input and arent dependent on junkfood. At the end of the day its an invisible red or green number.

If the problem is with self control, remember that torturing yourself and viewing it as a battle can be counterproductive. If you just starve yourself you will likely bounce back directly afterwards. Its about making an actual change and normalizing your eating. For that i found it helpful to first stick to my sustaining calorie level, so planing what you eat at the level you dont gain or loose weight. You can then build on that structure with cutting out the addictive stuff, eating slower and figuring out being full vs not hungry.

Personally i found a week of just boiled potatoes incredibly helpful (you will have to work really hard to gain weight with just plain potatoes) to kick the addictive stuff and break with bad habits. Its like with any other drug and abstinence wont kill you in this case.

Dont beat yourself up, its one step at a time and with better planing you can make the steps a lot easier.
I think they are just talking about how accurately the model reflects the real world.

If someone draws a map and it has some streets with the wrong names, you say, "This map is not accurate." It doesn't mean you are talking about something numerical.
We'd better hope that the Earth doesn't have a mind of its own. If it did, humans would be wiped out for being the vermin that they are.
I feel this way every time I start a new job!
Another important consideration, is that the complexity of a tax system is itself a regressive tax. If hiring an accountant can decrease the amount of tax you need to pay, the tax rate is effectively higher for those who can afford an accountant than for those who can't.
The 'update' button in the top right corner changes green to yellow to red.

Yes, so open tabs could be stale. But is there any other reason for browser refreshing?
Yes, please don't be that guy. I was a lead at the last startup I was at, and we hired a guy who loved to point out everything we were doing "wrong". Literally weeks into the job and he's already writing up huge docs about everything we need to improve, with having almost no context for why we made certain decisions. The majority of things he assumed to know better on we also knew better about, but there simply wasn't enough time and man power to do things in the "right" way. He also pointed out some things that we were unaware of, but he had already tarnished his reputation by being so abrasive about the critique while putting so little time into understanding.

Now the twist in this story, is that through this interaction, I reflected on a past job and realized that I had been that guy once! That sure was a moment of personal cringe. It's cemented into my brain how important it is to ask questions to fully understand the context decisions are made in before chiming in to say how wrong they are.
This has happened to me in Gmail before. May be a chrome issue?
> 2) Your hunger will increase to compensate for the calories burned and you'll subconsciously eat more if not carefully tracking.

This is also a oft-made claim that doesn't have much backing. Part of the point of the research described in TFA is that humans who face specific periods of energy expenditure during the day may often simply reduce energy expenditure during the rest of the day so that TEE remains roughly constant.

I know many endurance athletes (having been one) who would report that some levels of exercise actually result in appetite suppression.
So if that's the case, won't investing gov't funds into those uncompetitive places (e.g., by moving gov't agencies there, moving some industries that could move there etc) even out the level of competition?

Rather than spending money subsidizing the poor in these competitive places, it's better and cheaper imho, to add/create a good place to be in a currently bad place.
That's grand and I'm envious. I guess what I'm suggesting is that if UX were grounded in HCI in any way, this would be the _primary_ problem to be addressed and is the issue which thereby outs UX as an over-priced modern-day hardware store color palette for the blind (primarily preoccupied only with forestalling law-suites).

I guess my question, really, is what affordance could be surfaced to suggest this communication medium is asynchronous and discourage this imposing behavior? Or, while the more socialized effete users know this is a problem and are properly socialized and are more concerned with problems on the frontier, I'm suggesting that there are major problems in the hinterland that have simply been ignored.
> There are so many moving parts in some of his stories that you want to put down the book and sit back in awe that Carr can handle all of them without dropping a single strand. I’m tempted to describe this as a quasi-mathematical skill, but Carr always proclaimed his absolute hatred of math (which he called “the last refuge of the halfwit”)—and there’s even an anecdote about him punching a friend simply because he had mentioned the word algebra.

Right, but I presume that the level of the lake is changed by climate change, not by sea level change.
Dunno if the millennials,Gen Z,Gen A etc. know these sorts of things - well, there is an old lady by name Julia Roberts who was nominated for an Oscar (its like an award) for a movie about Type 1 Diabetes that I first saw in a theater (that's like a place where us Boomers go to watch stuff you would normally see on your iPhone). I don't know if you have the patience to sit through a long, quite funny and very talkative movie about a bunch of old ladies, one of who's a diabetic, talking about everything under the sun but diabetes, in a salon. Half the diabetic community believe the movie is over dramatized or what have you, but hey, the other half disagrees. Regardless, it remains one of my most favorite films. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Magnolias

Yes, the fangs of colonialism bite deep.
Bad idea. I had student loans up until 2018, and there should be no program that would forgive mine. I paid off $30k in debt because I got a $50k sign on bonus. People in my position absolutely should not have their debt forgiven at taxpayer's expense.

Except glowing fishes might have mating advantage and it it probably also a dominant gene. We don't know and that should give us room for pause.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time
That's a POV, and you could marshall evidence to defend it.

But it's mostly a hand-wavy assertion too, and there's other evidence against it. There are cultures around the world (low populations, to be sure) where repeatedly traversing 26.2 miles a day would not be considered particularly abnormal.
Pretty thick. I trimmed it down recently. Dropping the Arduboy would certainly help.
Yeah, it's worded like he's trying to write some expose about how dangerous otter might be, but really he's just exposing how terribly leaky his own journalistic tradecraft is. I guess I appreciate his unintentional candor? I hope he has less sensitive gigs lined up.
Riding a bicycle? It's roughly 5x more efficient than running or walking. If you want to lose weight from cycling, you're going to have ride significantly further than 50 miles a day.
This kind of exists, and here is one such system:

https://www.tandemdiabetes.com/products/t-slim-x2-insulin-pu...

The pump delivers insulin and gets blood glucose readings from a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) over bluetooth. Then the pump can make decisions such as stopping insulin delivery if you're going to go low, doing small correction boluses, and adjusting basal rate.

However it's far from perfect and still needs a lot of management. My wife has T1D and was recently pregnant, which really raises the bar on how tightly you need to control your diabetes. She ended up mostly micromanaging it all herself rather than trusting Control IQ to do the right thing.

The other issue is CGMs are not that accurate, so these systems are making decisions based on not great data.
> This is no more likely than for other fish to get the same gene from the original jellyfish humans found it in. Unless there are close relatives of zebrafish in those streams which can cross-breed with the zebrafish, there is no chance of gene transfer.

I'm not sure that we know that yet. The science on horizontal gene transfer is in its nascent stages. Only last year did scientists first supply solid evidence of animal-to-animal horizontal gene transfer:

> [...] herrings and smelts, two groups of fish that commonly roam the northernmost reaches of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, both make [antifreezing proteins]. But it is very surprising, even weird, that both fish do so with the same AFP gene — particularly since their ancestors diverged more than 250 million years ago and the gene is absent from all the other fish species related to them.

> A March paper in Trends in Genetics holds the unorthodox explanation: The gene became part of the smelt genome through a direct horizontal transfer from a herring. It wasn’t through hybridization, because herring and smelt can’t crossbreed, as many failed attempts have shown. The herring gene made its way into the smelt genome outside the normal sexual channels.

The original article notes that the leading mechanistic hypothesis for this crossover involves genetic material hitching a ride during spawning:

> The remarkable gain of this advantageous gene was postulated to have occurred via HGT from foreign DNA attaching to sperm during spawning [2.], in a manner analogous to the technique of sperm-mediated gene transfer employed in laboratories to transfer genes to organisms, including fish [9.].

[1] https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tig.2021.02.006

One might fairly extrapolate that the conditions necessary for such an unusual genetic exchange may be far more feasible for species in close proximity, rather than from a species of jellyfish limited to the west coast of North America.

[2] https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/325995-Aequorea-victoria

It still seems extremely unlikely, however we lack a good sense of not only the frequency of such events (presumably quite low), but also the total number which have occurred over evolutionary history.
Re memory, maybe use dlopen to load Firebase when it is enabled?
The characterization of the letter published about him in Scientific American [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/eric-lander-is-no...] seems fair.

The political face needs to be from a sufficiently marginalized group to withstand scrutiny. If there’s enough available actual talent to see these efforts through and deliver results, it will be a win for the diversity community. If there are no breakthroughs, or the effort sputters to get going, it will not help that cause.

As the offspring of a woman scientist, I look at the 500 group with a bit of skepticism. Science itself seems in the background. Their page that is to highlight their cohort’s projects only shows faces, which are the least interesting aspect of pretty much any scientist.
There is no usefully available Helium-3 on the moon, either. The only practical source known is decay of tritium, which must itself be synthesized by nuclear reaction, and is, for military use.

Another choice is fusion of ordinary hydrogen, usually labeled "p" for the proton, with boron, B, thus "pB". But that is even harder to achieve. Still, it is being worked on.

There is no route to commercially viable fusion extracting heat from Tokamak reactors, as any such reactor would need to be enormously bigger and much more expensive to operate than the same-rated fission reactor, which is not today competitive, and gets less so all the time.

Some people hope that something can be learned from Tokamak work that might be applicable to potentially practical designs, but the money is all going to Tokamak, while the others mostly go begging.
I have enough respect for the study and discipline of HCI to think there is an interface solution here which doesn't resort to the (threat of the) cat o' nine tails.

We're glad you're here to poke fun at the research of at least two people with PhD's centered on this topic.

> when you start considering the extremes

When you start considering the extremes, you often find that they can't tell you much about the middle ground.
It doesn't. It's the same exact page.
Honestly, I append Reddit, Stackoverflow, or Stackexchange to probably 75% of my searches.

From my point of view, there's wayyyy too many blog sites out there full of crap content, meanwhile forum posts on these sites often yield results that are something I can actually do/use.
The general rule I find helpful is that diet=size and exercise=shape. Being aware of this really helps me limit my food intake even when I’m exercising a ton.

Cardio is great for general health, and cannelloni shave off a few extra calories even once you’re good at it. Buy some weights, and put on a few pounds of muscle. The muscle costs more calories to maintain, so for your same diet you can shift you body composition a little. For a beginner you can see a lot of results in about three lifting sessions a week in only a handful of weeks.
Running isn't efficient at high speeds. The same with cycling. It's funny to see people buy a bike for exercise and then roll along at a crawl, expending less energy than walking.

Damn, you are 100% on point. I assumed it already had the optimizations applied and it was big just because of the nature of the app.

Once they get their server bill perhaps they will reconsider optimizing it!
I successfully lost weight at only twenty miles a day. Now... For a time, that also included Queen Anne Hill, in Seattle. So a decent amount of climbing. Still, I could lose weight easily while biking.
Missing, arguably the most important factor: It is not a runaway reaction. You don't need a giant pool of water with functioning pumps to mitigate a disaster. There are some newer designs that are self-regulating but surprised to see this is not at the top of the list.
Ask HN: Is There an IDE for Lawyers?
Is there any kind of tool(s) that lawyers or politicians use to write law? Like a writing program with auto completion, or IDE-like navigation to referenced laws? Is there any version control systems like git specifically made for changing laws?

I am trying to think about how we can make the next evolution in law and politics, and I think that an IDE or suite of tools that can be used to make writing/updating law easier would be an incredible boon.

Just think about all the great tools that have been built because of good code navigation in VSCode or IntelliJ. Are tools like this being built for law?

The most inscrutable UX possible. It's almost like an on purpose design that puts the most useful or frequently needed things under meaningless icons wrapped in burger menus and the least useful things in large space sucking parts of the screen. But hey it's "free"...
Trudeau declared an emergency and invoked an act that allows him to sanction these accounts and do other things without a court order at all, contempt of court is unlikely. If they had evidence to seize the money that would pass a court it would have already been in front of one. Trudeau has declared this a war-level emergency and he needs to suspend civil rights to maintain the sovereignty of the country. It would be laughable if it wasn't such a drastic infringement and suspension of rights in the face of a protest.
Another related extreme case was the first person to solo-ski to the north pole. They pre-loaded, mostly on olive oil, packing on tens of kg in body fat, all of which (and more) was gone by the time they were done. I don't recall the daily calorie expenditures but it was gigantic. They did this because there is some mechanical advantage carrying a good chunk of one's energy supply directly on your own bones rather than towing it in the sled.
As someone with ADHD-PI, this sort of thing is so damn tempting. Like to the point where I could probably actually focus if I knew I could get a transcript.
What’s your title? If you’re junior then there should be a reasonable expectation that you will be learning a lot on the job.
Without more context it’s impossible to say you if you are actually incompetent. I’d say treat this as a fire under your ass. Invest money into courses and books that fill in gaps of your knowledge.
And it’s likely that your company would start a discussion about performance before any talks about layoff. And if those talks ever happen, you can explain that you are investing in learning xyz with books/courses.
Most likely, the company hired you knowing your skill level, and having a slow start is not too surprising. Don’t be afraid of asking stupid questions - because when you get afraid of asking stupid questions then you get completely paralyzed.. and then it becomes a vicious cycle.

Also.. the fact what’s it’s just the processes that are new to you is really quite minor! That’s all learnable with time!
