> I am not talking about problems in a couple of hundred years. I'm talking in 100s of millions to billions of years.

Within 300 million years life may not even be able to exist on land, and by 1 billion years the oceans will be evaporating [0]. So the timeline you have given for depletion of bioavailable carbon is already muted by unavoidable solar expansion. Do you have a source for a shorter timeline?

> Lack of biodiversity in the short term is a much smaller problem in comparision

Where do you think coal comes from? That carbon was sequestered during the "Carboniferous" period---a time when the trophic web lacked the diversity of organisms capable of recycling carbon in the form of cellulose. Biodiversity is the reason carbon can be reprocessed and keep circulating. A major simplification in the trophic web is precisely what allows carbon to stop cycling and become trapped in sinks. The fewer organisms in a trophic web, the more likely dead organisms will sink into anaerobic reservoirs before being recycled.

Similarly, Snowball Earth: a case of high biomass and low biodiversity. Nearly all life on earth went extinct because of a lack of organisms capable of offsetting the byproducts of other organisms.

> Useful nitrogen is not scarce compared to useful carbon.

The opposite is true, which is why you will see nitrogen fertilizer and not carbon fertilizer. Inorganic nitrogen is common but is energetically expensive to fix into organic compounds. Nitrogen fixing organisms are at the base of the trophic web and they limit the biological productivity of ecosystems.

> Similarly, earth is made up of 80% iron. We're not running out of it either.

It is not evenly distributed. There are vast areas of ocean whose productivity is limited by the scarcity of iron available [1]. This is seen in ocean blooms caused by iron oxide transported from the Sahara by wind. This in turn causes atmospheric carbon to circulate into the ocean through the formation of diatomaceous matter.

Many companies will surpass Google's current valuation due to inflation. However, I don't see how Epic could replace Google as the third most valuable tech company. For one, Tencent owns almost half of the company.
While that all may be true (but are indications of a poorly architected system), my code would still work. It would double the limit and then page someone. If they logged in and saw all those failures, then they could address those issues.

The whole point is that having an around the world follow the sun team would not alleviate those issues or make anything better.
That's my hunch as well. Averaging evens out the oddities, likely creating a subtle bit more symmetry thus beauty thus trustworthiness.

In 2021, there was an effort to archive older unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 before they were automatically made private [1]. It's fairly unlikely your videos were archived by this effort unless they were publicly linked somewhere, but you can still try to find them using a tool like: https://filmot.com/unlistedSearch or https://unlistedvideos.com/. If you do find any of them on the list, you can try pull them up from the Web Archive [2] and save them from there.

so you agree with the comment then? you are both criticizing the government
Is there an effort to build a solution to problems like this that don't rely on a friend of a friend from Google 'fixing' things.

At some point the FDA didn't exist and we decided to create it to regulate an industry. At some point, fair credit reporting didn't exist and we decided to create that to regulate a different industry.

Is there a real and lasting solution to this problem that the firm hand of democracy can address?

Perhaps there is a language or nuance barrier. I "thanked" the parent commenter for sharing their view, did an "internet search" for their publicly listed company to see what kind of jobs they might have available, and then was warned about certs visiting their site... Now I'm having a terrible conversation with you for some reason, but I hope this helps dispel your confusion. Please feel free not to reply at all with anything.

How are normies supposed to know this?
Did it really take off? It’s obviously popular but it doesn’t seem like the business is a runaway success by any means. Just curious if someone knows (with facts) that it is actually a hit.
Is the implication here that if a company collects your email and send you a message, that’s spam and not considering your privacy?

I’m genuinely curious - I run a SaaS and have spent way too much time ensuring privacy and refusing the use 3rd parties whenever possible. I get occasional emails from folks asking me to delete their email address in our system - we do not send almost any email ever and every email has an unsubscribe link - but I can’t sort out the goal - if you sent me an email so I get rid of your email - aren’t you… giving me your email? I can’t make it into a reasonable position in my head. What is the dream system from your perspective?
Hiring all your devs from testers? Generally dev requires a comp sci background, tester doesn’t.

I won’t claim every developer needs a 4 year comp sci degree, but I would be worried on a project with 0 degree holders. At some point someone has to like pick a data structure or interface with like hardware.
Hi Everyone,

Nurses are critical to patient care, and they are in short supply at the moment. I've been thinking about ways to automate the administrative aspects of nursing.

Nurses spend a lot of time (~35% of their day according to some studies) interacting with the electronic health record (EHR). Often, they are inputting structured data like vital signs, medication given, etc.

Could we use a mobile app to parse voice transcription data and upload notes to the EHR to save nurses a bit of time? Maybe just a modern graphic interface on a mobile app would help?

I made a working demo of the voice transcription idea you can try.

If you work in the healthcare space, and know someone who might be interested - I'd love to chat. I'm looking to partner with healthcare institutions to 'co-develop' the app: they can bring the user feedback; we'll bring the code.
YouTube made old unlisted videos private last year unless you opted-out, are you thinking of that warning?
This article is unspecific in its accusations and metaphors. Wouldn't recommend wasting your time with it. Why was it written, why was it posted here. There's nothing in the article to really discuss and so this thread is just gonna be boring.

The title and the article is fairly ambiguous, if you don't pay attention. Several sentences just say the generated faces are more trustworthy, and only further down in the article it is pointed out, that the generated pictures are rated as being more authentic pictures, than the real pictures.

It's poorly formulated and perhaps done so for clickbait, which makes it worse, since there are many ways to phrase it more clearly.

If I had to speculate based off my experience at other FANG companies, the videos still exist in the Youtube infrastructure somewhere to allow for the possibility of a human intervention to restore them (For example, to allow for recovering from a system gone haywire or just to give time for manually reversed decisions).

That said, I'd also guess there's a countdown timer before they get deleted permanently.

I hope you can get a human from YouTube to talk to you.

It may benefit you to post a link to the youtube channel so someone can proactively investigate. Lots of google employees read this forum.

Exactly! The real decision you're making with scientific codes in lightly-explored problem domains is, how permanent and versatile of a solution do I need here?

Alas, the OP is deploying some CS abstractions to genericize very simple problems that have already been very well-explored ("find the sample mean").

It's stirring up antibodies among all the investigators who ever over-engineered an approach that was subsequently junked! (shuffles feet awkwardly)
I realise this is a for-educational-purposes project, but I'm not sure what makes it "Modern".

It's possible to make something slightly more practical if you just xor bytes together. Just like the implementation in the article, this has obvious malleability issues - flip a bit in the key, you flip the corresponding bit in the plaintext.

To fix this, you need authentication too, such as an HMAC.

If we assume the sender and the recipient both have a pre-shared blob of random bytes, from which they use subsections as keys, then you also need some protocol to ensure that key material is never reused.

The Spectrum wasn't released in the US. However, the semi-compatible Timex-Sinclair 2068 mentioned by others was. It was quite cheap, selling for under $200 in 1983 (about $570 today). However, it got very little support and software in the US and so it didn't do well.

Ask HN: Why are Google's search products bad if Google has decades of Know-how?
I use Google's search products(Google Search, YouTube search etc.) on a daily basis and I see so many reasonable solutions that would significantly improve UX of Google Products but I don't understand that product designers and managers at Google are not seeing the same or similar solutions. Google has decades of know-how and unbounded human, financial and computational resources but still they can not figure out things like:

My backlog: Google Search: 1. Crawl, index and rank audio content of the web and add it next to Images and Videos in Google Search e.g. "All Images Videos Audio Maps Books More" so I can find and discover audio on Google.

2. Add tags in Google Search just like you added tags when searching in Google Images so I can find websites in specific category or in similar category or that I can find similar type of web content.

3. Just like GitHub has percentage of languages of source code within source code's project page e.g. C++ 90% C 10% add content type percentage next to each web page or website result in Search Results e.g. www.mybiologyblog.com Text 70% Images 20% Videos 10% Audio 0%

YouTube: 1. Standardize both web version and mobile version; in web version on channel's page I can search channel for videos on mobile I can not.

2. Add search option/bar in comment section of videos so I can search for information that is relevant and useful to me.

3. Add search option/bar to playlists so I can search for videos within my playlists.

4. Add Google Lens type search solution to YouTube so I can search "within" YouTube videos frame by frame; e.g. let's say I watch Wild Animals documentary and I want to skip to lions part, machine learning(AI) can analyse frame by frame and point me to that part of the video(Google has similar solution but only for creators called "Chapters"). And use speech recognition so I have transcript and timestamps for YouTube videos or in anther words try to transcribe and timestamp audio of YouTube videos. Frame by frame and transcription solution are complementary.

I have other ideas for YouTube and Google Search in particular but this is my short list. For Google Search my focus is linguistic analysis of websites and analyzing websites' content(text, images, videos, audio, links etc.) I would not try to guess what users want like Google does but I would like to mine and analyze the web and then present it in Search Results for users to discover. Users will find good search results if your analysis and presentation of websites and their specifics/qualities is good in Search Results page.

Also Google Chrome has some web search and web navigation problems that I would like to solve but that I can explain next time.

> The blockchain is not necessarily anonymous. Especially when you start attaching real-world metadata into each of the tokens.

Unless you are using Signal and MobileCoin, Monero, etc which all the fraudsters, criminals and terrorists are using, what part of web3 ever claimed that it was anonymous? It's more pseudonymous than anything else.

Maybe I'm too brainwashed by git, but it seems to me one of its benefits is the way the index works. You're encouraged to be fairly explicit about what you're adding to a commit, which encourages making a nice version history. Why would I want everything I do to automatically be added to a commit by default? Doesn't this encourage me to either put all kinds of unintended, not-ready crap in my commits, or constantly manage the equivalent of .gitignore? What am I misunderstanding about the benefits of how this works?
They literally aren't. They are asking which faces look more trustworthy. People think the AI faces look more trustworthy. Whether they are right or not (how could they be???) isn't the point.

You will have to deal with the insane thermal flux too. Even where the atmosphere is Earth-like in temperature, you will have a very hot radiator below you and frozen space above. (If you were in low Venus orbit, and could "stick your head out" of the spacecraft, Venus would feel as warm on your face as the noon sun on Earth. On the night side. That's how hot the planet is.) So for anything larger than algae, even in the convective atmosphere, you're going to have a side that's burning hot and a side that's freezing.
Now we’re getting to the root of the issue - you think single mothers are evil and deserve to be punished with poverty, along with their children.
> What is the "expensive" assumption based on? Is it the opportunity cost?

Yes, and the basic assumption of free markets that competition drives prices to the minimum sellers are willing to accept (equal to opportunity cost of the units actually traded), and that this value per unit increases, so that the next unit must have an opportunity cost to the seller higher than the average of the prior units.
For years I was pretty sluggish in the morning and not at my best until had at least two cups of coffee. Then I'd later crash in the evening. After eventually quitting caffeine I realised that all those years of energy levels going up and down during the day was caused by the caffeine itself rather than it being the saviour.

Energy levels much more consistent throughout the day without it. I do miss the routine though and drinking decaf does feel a bit silly.
Blogtrottr had been working for me for a half dozen years, no fuss.

What I would do in this case is two rebase -i.
Say you start from:

A
B

And you want:

state-of-B
state-of-A

I'd do a rebase -i with:

pick A
x git revert HEAD
pick A
pick B

Let's call the resulting commits of the above a, b, c and d.
With the following rebase -i, you get what you want:

pick a
squash d
pick b
squash a

In practice, I just do git revert HEAD; git cherry-pick HEAD~ before working on B, so I only really do one rebase.
> strangely I haven't heard that in a long time. In fact, I don't hear anyone refuting the idea of IAMW.

This probably says more about the breadth of your sources than anything else. If you aren't hearing the case against a minimum wage (and it's a strong one) you aren't reading widely enough.
In a thread full of unhelpful, pedantic comments this is a podium finisher for sure.
If you are using "trigger events" for security reasons, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send an ephemeral "eventID" rather than an actual "orderID"? Otherwise you may be leaking order IDs, which could potentially carry useful information for an attacker.
It would be nice if YouTube was more transparent about their retention policies.
I don’t think your idea would work. Most QA testers can’t become software developers. It’s not the same job. Some can but most can’t - they would already be software developers if they could as the pay is nicer. You would need significant training for it to work and even then it would prevent you for hiring more experienced talents as needed from the software developers pool.

This is a rare and nice overview book on the VLSI design by Liming Xiu:

There is a ton of logging infrastructure etc. that would all have to be changed to do ipv6. And sadly, the benefit to individual users is little, as every ISP has ipv4 already. So other features get prioritized: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/348224

Some major cloud companies also sit on giant piles of ipv4 addresses, like Amazon for example. They of course have negative incentives in ipv6 adoption, as they want their ipv4 investment, which lies in the billions, to pay off as much as possible.

The ISPs on the other hand are heavily incentivized to support ipv6 because the less traffic there is via ipv4, the less load there is on their carrier grade NAT infrastructure. Furthermore, ipv6 allows for cleaner routing tables, at least that's the theory.
You literally could say that about anything.
Interestingly I just tried it on Windows. For me Windows Terminal managed emoji, but only the green square! (After running “chcp 65001”)

However the unescaping isn’t needed, nslookup on Windows just outputs the raw data. Makes me wonder if I could just use ANSI terminal escape sequences.

Given that we already have roads to every residence, the amount of earth moved, steel smelted for tracks laid and additional fuel to run throughout the country, I dont see trains everywhere being a net positive.

Through some dense urban states, yes, but most of the sparsely populated rural states would see them barely used and lots of additional habitat disruption.

We have industrial train tracks near us. Literally noone is clamoring for residential trains here. Even within the nearest city, a 20 minute drive from one popular destination to another becomes an hour and a half excursion if you wanted to take light rail instead.

> Yes, this is the market correctly telling potential game developers that there's an oversupply and they should consider doing something else.

Shouldn't the abundance of clones naturally cease in an oversupply scenario, since they'd be unable to garner any returns? I'm no economist, but it doesn't seem to make business sense.

Perhaps what's really going on is the act of creating and shipping low-effort clones has become a game unto itself. That doesn't have to be profitable for the "creators"; they're being entertained and paying app store fees so Valve is still happy selling proverbial shovels.
I think you’re probably an outlier here though. I’m the same, I buy and play a game for an evening, but I don’t know anyone else personally that also does that.

I would definitely not expect a game designer to target for this type of audience.
