It's not true now AFAIK [1]. Not sure if it was ever true as it's kind of core to how Workers works, but I've only been here for just over a year. Can't find anything to suggest this was ever the case.

As for cost, a Bundled Worker definitely had a price advantage if you have CPU-light but IO-heavy workload. If my math is right then Unbound is cheaper up to roughly 220 ms of wall clock (I used 100M requests as an example). So if it takes > 220ms of time to send the response fully, Unbound will be the same price as Bundled and only get more expensive the longer the response takes. This isn't the RTT time to your origin. It's the total request time. So if you're doing lots of round-trips to origins, proxying WebSocket messages back and forth over a long time, proxying a large response body from somewhere else etc. This gets more complicated since we put in an important optimization that makes Unbound much cheaper if you're just proxying a response without modifying it since billing will stop once you return the Response so now the Unbound Worker has to actually be meaningfully involved in generating the Response body for it to bill until the response finishes sending to your client [2].

You raise an interesting issue. If we can accept that substantive scientists vary in their involvement in self-marketing, does the degree one engages in popular self-marketing affect the kind of attention one receives? And the validity of criticism within that attention set?

Related to your point, if Wolfram hadn’t had the history he did, would Hacker News general suspicious reaction still be present? And would his status affect our perceptions of validity of the criticism.

Granted, what drew me to this thought was the recent treatment of Eric Weinstein, an occasional podcast collaborator (if hostile) of Stephen Wolfram. I won’t rehash it all here, but a critic of Weinstein who is trained in physics countered him in writing. Then when Weinstein moved onto another area, the critic submitted another arxiv piece attacking his second product (an econ talk given in Chicago).

Now, I don’t think much of Weinstein, but the critic’s second attack created doubt about the motives of his first. Was this a defense of science, or a serial attacker obsessed with Eric Weinstein?

Circling back, I think these issue will inevitably arise when a person is actively self marketing their contribution to science, whatever its quality.

Can't you consider that knowledge is a function of previous data? In your example, the 2 individuals actually didn't receive the same amount of data because the English speakers received data previously that allowed him to build some kind of "knowledge" that allows him to solve specific related tasks (understanding a spoken sentence). This would be the equivalent of transfer learning where "knowledge" is a model trained on previous, more general, data.
Could be a fun ask HN: What would happen if Mr. Wolfram and Mr. Musk would have to share the same room for a while?
I would go with a negative number - by definition every scientific discovery is replacing the null hypothesis or as you say - "popular narrative" (wtf does that mean anyway? is this like 'main stream media' or some other made up dog whistle?).

As rich eccentrics go, I much prefer the ones trying to advance science (like Wolfram) or medicine (like Gates) to the ones just building more superyachts and lobbying corrupt politicians.

I don't really understand the animosity toward Stephen Wolfram on HN - has he done something evil or been super rude to someone? Maybe he has a big ego, but I think that's probably true of a lot of - if not most - of the rich and/or influential people that are discussed on here, whether Bezos, Gates, Jobs, Musk or Stallman. It takes a certain hubris to think you can make a dent in the universe. Why is that if your hubris is to believe you can make a billion dollar startup, HN is all "you go girl!" but if someone wants to do theoretical physics, they really need to check their ego?

I don't know if cellular automata as a foundation of physics will turn out to be a revolution or a dud. I do know that we've been looking for a unified theory of quantum gravity for many decades to no avail. If somebody is motivated to come at the thing from a new perspective, then more power to them. Are they likely to succeed? Of course not, statistically the vast majority of theories don't. But just working to provide new perspectives is a worthwhile goal, and I'm glad he's working on it.

So what you're saying is that because Wuhan University sent samples to be tested on the 30th of december for 'sars like virus' sorry 'atypical pneumonia' (commonly used to refer to SARS) which was posted in a forum, which Taiwan picked up and forwarded to the WHO. That Taiwan did not make the WHO aware.

That there is absolutely no remote possibility that prior to the 30th, anyone could possibly be talking about 'sars' in december, sorry 'atypical pneumonia', because it's not reported by the Times report or the WHO.

The number of categories reminds me of this footnote in another of his stories: "The original says fourteen, but there is ample reason to infer that, as used by Asterion, this numeral stands for infinite."
I read the comment above yours as implying the inherited wealth being one of the things that Musk has and most people don't. Might just be my own bias 'reading in'.
Might be not so divergent if this emergence of new theories is in any way "surprising".

Potentially related : the concept of "surprisal", and how entropy is a superfluous concept - since it's just the lack of information that an observer has about a system.
Think about why left-to-right languages are left-justified.

It's because when you're writing by hand, you can't possibly know in advance exactly how long the line is going to be, so you have to start at the beginning and write until space runs out.

But now we have computers. We no longer write by hand. It's trivial to have the computer justify text however we wish.

So now we ask the same question again, which way should we justify text now that it is trivial to do it either way? To me, "do it the way it's always been done without question" is a non-answer that leads to exactly no evolution whatsoever.

Yeah, my best guess is that this is something similar - past academic or librarian decided to take them home for reasons known only to them, and after their death, their embarrassed children, fortunately realising their importance, anonymously returned them.

I’ve witnessed similar - elderly neighbour had a set of drawings by Wren that he’d sneak out to show you, but was evasive about their provenance. Turns out the old dog had nicked them when he was renovating a local museum in the 60’s. He had his brother return them after he died. Funny thing is, the museum never even knew they’d had them to go missing, so they proudly tooted about their new Wren sketches donated by an anonymous benefactor.

Why? The British Army that they had been fighting since 1940 didn't use horses either so the Germans knew that it was possible.
It’s no joke. Yes, likely a large amount of the brain dead organ cases are murder of prisoners, dissidents, ethnic groups and other groups deemed undesirable by the CCP. China offers organs on demand like nowhere else on the planet, it’s not a matter of luck. The more light that is shined on this evil practice the better.
> I’m surprised that individual governments didn’t even think about “Let’s not participate to a blatant lie, let’s tell people we don’t have masks and they should not buy one to let them available to hospitals, but tell them they should wear anything they have at home.” No government used the pedagogy method. They all opted for lie-as—a-policy, and-pretend-it’s-science.

They probably thought about the decent method, but unfortunately solidarity in most if not all societies has eroded so far that large swaths of the population would have gone and scalped ffp2 masks from wherever they could get them anyway. Case in point: toilet paper crisis.

Governments are in a lose-lose situation and have been for decades now. Appealing to anything involving solidarity with others does not work any more, and yet solidarity is the core of our society model - and there is no (easy) way of fixing this, short of a communist revolution and that won't happen either.
Hm, I can't find that. It's slightly different, eg Settings -> Apps and notifications, then either go into individual apps or "App Permissions".

The former allows me to force stop apps, which indicates to me that they are running in the background (phone is power cycled every night so they shouldn't be). Nowhere to be seen is any auto-launch or background running.

In App permissions, I get a list of permissions (eg Microphone, or Location) and clicking on any of those gets me a list of apps that include that permission, and I can revoke permissions there. Same there, no auto-launch/background.

I can go to Battery -> Battery optimisation -> app -> and pick eg "optimise" that restricts background usage, but I guess doesn't disable it.

I think they make the restrictions of pure functional programming more intuitive to deal with. Working in blueprint is basically like working in Haskell, but anyone who spends 5 minutes learning the ropes in blueprint can immediately be productive. Contrast to Haskell where programmers need to almost have their brains restructured to work within the confinements of pure programming and be productive.

So I believe the plan is to trick the content creators and less strong programmers into using a purely functional programming language so that they produce less bugs.

Anyway that's my take on it, I only made a few demo games in blueprint and really enjoyed it, I haven't used it in anger so to say so someone who's actually in the industry might speak better to it's actual merit.

I love this quote by John Cleese

“In order to know how good you are at something requires exactly the same skills as it does to be good at that thing in the first place,” Cleese elaborates, “which means — and this is terribly funny — that if you are absolutely no good at something at all, then you lack exactly the skills you need to know that you are absolutely no good at it.”
Thank you!

I think the issue here is that the word "spicy" is overloaded, meaning both "hot" and "of or containing various spices". India has long used the sort of of spices that give its food the characteristic rich, interesting flavours. I guess the hotness part comes from chili peppers from the America (I hadn't heard that before, I'm taking another comment at face value)
"As per the Russians, this is not a war"

Same for Iraq, Libya, etc. Declarations of war mostly died after WWII.

"Hence, they're not prisoners of war"

They are to be treated as civilians then, according to the Geneva convention.

"By default, the Russians are lying, unless there's evidence that they're not"

This is true for pretty much every sovereign state active on geopolitical games. Everyone will try to use PR/propaganda to justify their actions and get more people to support their cause, it is only natural.
Same here, this was one of the reasons I cancelled ATT and picked an mvno carrier. They need to wake up.
Hybrid Work Doesn’t Work
I think Law of Jante summarizes the 'zeitgeist' of HN comments towards this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

The goal should be always to understand and discuss ideas, despite egos. As hard that can be practically, anything else is unproductive and not worth persuing.

His thoughts and theories are something to not ignore, but to follow with the same skepticism as any revolutionary claim should be. That should be irrespective of the author.

But we need to give value to new ideas and have a small dose of optimism, that way we can be open to true innovation and paradigm shifts.

But there is nothing bad that Wolfram's mind is powerful. I doubt anyone here would dare to try to create something as complicated as it's Wolfram service.
You're directly participating in the abusive behavior spreading a libellous video with a bunch of fabrications from a drama seeking sociopath on YouTube. You're even using Kiwi Farms language yourself. Try not being an asshole and targeting an open source developer with abuse because you think it's funny.
So then is it less of a proof mechanism and more of a simulation one?
This is misleading due to being framed based on decades of fossil fuel propaganda.

We have plenty of grid storage right now. Like in Australia they have hydro, which can be ramped up or down to compensate for the variability of supply and demand. The water that isn't used for power right now, is stored and then used later.

This is a very powerful factor in quickly introducing renewables and should not be ignored. In australia the rain is counter cyclical with the solar which is very helpful too.

But ... we have a much bigger source of power, that like hydro, can be turned off when renewables are strong, stored and used later. It's natural gas.

We want to use less fossil fuels in general and natural gas specifically. We already have plants that burn it, and if we don't build renewables, they will be used to burn it. Build the renewables instead, don't burn the expensive gas, and keep it stored in case you do need it.

There's no real need for storage on a big scale until fossil usage hits zero in a wide area. Even when you get to 100% clean electricity, you can further expand heat pumps and put the gas used for heating into this 'grid storage' system.

There's all sorts of cool technologies in grid storage, but the basic point is: build more renewables, burn less fossil fuels. This isn't rocket science.

We need some kind of storage in the future when we stop burning fossil fuels, personally I'm bullish on green hydrogen that is, like natural gas, stored but not used for electricity generation unless absolutely necessary. It's just there as a cheap insurance, and will be used for fertilizer and making steel anyway. In the meantime, the rollout of EVs will mean that lithium batteries will be added to the grid, not because we have a storage problem, but because it's cheaper than burning gas or upgrading transmission lines and solar plus batteries will be the cheapest option for 'baseload' across most of the planet.

The `ssr` function uses the twind module to extract the classes and generate plain CSS.
In addition to your hunch “wow this spreads fast”, there was also highly suggestive evidence that came out bit by bit. The one that sticks in my head was the news report of the virus spreading at a choir rehearsal in March of 2020:

Sixty singers showed up. A greeter offered hand sanitizer at the door, and members refrained from the usual hugs and handshakes.... After 2½ hours, the singers parted ways at 9 p.m. Nearly three weeks later, 45 have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or ill with the symptoms, at least three have been hospitalized, and two are dead.

The outbreak has stunned county health officials, who have concluded that the virus was almost certainly transmitted through the air from one or more people without symptoms. “That’s all we can think of right now,” said Polly Dubbel, a county communicable disease and environmental health manager.

In interviews with the Los Angeles Times, eight people who were at the rehearsal said that nobody there was coughing or sneezing or appeared ill. Everybody came with their own sheet music and avoided direct physical contact. Some members helped set up or remove folding chairs. A few helped themselves to mandarins that had been put out on a table in back.

Experts said the choir outbreak is consistent with a growing body of evidence that the virus can be transmitted through aerosols — particles smaller than 5 micrometers that can float in the air for minutes or longer. The World Health Organization has downplayed the possibility of transmission in aerosols, stressing that the virus is spread through much larger “respiratory droplets,” which are emitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes and quickly fall to a surface. But a study published March 17 in the New England Journal of Medicine found that when the virus was suspended in a mist under laboratory conditions it remained “viable and infectious” for three hours.

When I was a teenager, I saw the stories of exceptionally strange internet personalities like Chris Chan and Ulillillia, and felt a paranoia that I'd spend my life in my overprotective parents' basement. When I look at my life, I've accomplished so many things I never would have expected I could have. I'm still missing a handful of things my community members remind me they expect me to have, the biggest one being marriage. In spite of needing to slog through tiredness and bouts of ressentiment, I can see I've beaten the average trajectory, and I've beaten the trajectories some people have put me down by saying I'll end up on. I actually have a slight chance of doing one or two more things in life that mean a lot to me. I am grateful I've been lead out of the basement, spared from literal prison; not hospitalized nor shut into an asylum (though some dear readers may think I belong there ;P). The world's a disturbing place, but I'm on a road to freedom and joy.
