Whatever the motives (from whomever), the smear campaign from WaPo against musk is obvious enough that I've seen many people talking about it and even a twitter post detailing the many articles painting musk in a negative light and comparing that to other sources which if the data is taken at face value was very damning of WaPo.

Personally I don't really care enough to investigate, but I thought it might provide some context as there appear to be (what I would assume) neutral parties commenting on the unfair reporting on musk from WaPo.
You replied to someone that posted NHTSA links. This only makes you sound more whiny than if you had just posted this as a reply to the article itself.
What? Lots of people (probably the Wall Street Joirnal chief among them) have been yelling since the early days of the pandemic that the enormity of stimulus and lockdowns are going to drive an inflationary disaster. As it turns out shutting down small businesses and giving everyone trillions in free money causes the value of money to drop - who knew?

How you absolve the fed and administration of all accountability here is beyond me.
It is "backed" as in endorsed, or supported, by the US government. In the same sense that Bitcoin is "backed" by its many worldwide supporters and miners. It is not "backed" in the traditional meaning of being redeemable for something else at a fixed rate ("backed by gold", "backed by silver", etc.).
From the article: In 2005, Andrew tried to reverse-engineer the BitKeeper networking protocols in order to create a free software alternative. If it hadn't been him, it would've been someone else—it was only a matter of time. Larry McVoy had warned the Linux developers that he would pull the plug if anyone tried this, and that's exactly what he did.

Some speculation, but is there a chance that Tridgell was aware of MyVoy's condition on the use of BitKeeper as source control for the Linux Kernel and attempted the reverse-engineering deliberately to force the scenario where the development of an Open Source BitKeeper alternative was necessary?
It's kind of a derogative descriptor for narrative games lacking in action. Games such as The Stanley Parable.
> for most of us, the prospect of making a significant contribution to the sum of human knowledge is a faint prospect

Physicists are bright people with other options. They forewent those other options to have an increased chance at contributing to human understanding. I can empathize with the greater tragedy of their failure than that of e.g. a millionaire adtech founder.

Seconding the recommendation for Josh at "lets game it out". Oh, wow, the time spent on the builds to make the game do things it was never designed to do - and funny commentary at that. he old content is definitely worth watching as well.

It's perfectly legal to do that in my country as long as no benefactors is unhappy. In fact, we are encouraged (by the bank) to do that as the execution of will is painfully slow (at least 6 months).
Apparently nobody here has actually read or even skimmed the article. The author obviously knows that Britain has been connected by land to the continent several times in the past million years.
I am highly suspicious of the need for post-doctoral training in philosophy, ecology, or social history and even more skeptical of the ethics of using tax payer's money to fund those positions.

Ecology is a probably a field where the world would be better off if we re-appropriated post-doc funding to USFS and hired people with bs or even no degrees to do important work on the ground.
I learned how to use raylib from this youtube series, and used it to teach some homeschool kids D programming. Very nice series!
Optimized for maximum profit, really. That does not not necessarily mean optimized for cost. For example, society willing to pay a sufficient premium for grapes that come with a no-burn guarantee would mean that burning, while less costly than alternatives, is less profitable in the aggregate. The market would trend towards avoiding the practice.

However, you will find no such agreements because society does recognize the practice as being a problem to society.
Even the great fanfare was completely overblown: This was old technology.

The GDR "megachip" was ordered by the central committee in 1986 and VEB Carl Zeiss delivered the prototype in late summer 1988. They were planning to put it into production at Kombinat Mikroelektronik Erfurt by 1990, but this never happened as the GDR ceased to exist.

For comparison: Toshiba had 1Mbit DRAM in production in 1984, by 1989 they were at 8 Mbit already.
I always cite Jaynes' book as having the best title of all time. A good antidote to Sapiens, in particular, is "Against the Grain" by James Scott, who (as was Jaynes) is at Yale. It's a survey of recent archeology and anthropology that has great new evidence and novel interpretations of old evidence. Very accessible and highly recommended.

> Cats will shit on your pillow if they are unhappy with the environment for some reason. That's particularly disturbing.

That's a territorial insecurity thing, though, right? It's not a protest or revenge.

It is definitely naturally disturbing to humans, though.
Maybe for the same reason as why getting freelance gigs is much easier when meeting clients in-person vs on Upwork?
has it...?
I see now. I definitely agree with you and believe that identity transcends any effort to quantify an identity. There are elements to any and every identity (and person) that cannot be quantified with a measuring device and an Excel spreadsheet, and to ignore those elements of our experience is to ignore what it is that makes us human, in my opinion.

This idea is captured well in the difference between the terms "personnel" and "human resources". The former feels much more like treating people as individuals, with needs, concerns, and abilities that are unique to the person vs. treating people as inconvenient and unreliable machines that need to be drugged into submission to the needs of the machine.
Except this clock has told the time accurately for a long time....
But it's silly: if grocery stores raise salaries to beat an inflation index, they then need to raise prices by the same percentage...raising in turn the inflation index.

Why do people think inflation is magic ?
heirs don't inherit debt. Your debt will be settled by the estate which will pay the tax. What's left will be passed down to your children/heirs.
Raising wages with Consumer Price Index (CPI) is dangerous, because it could cause spiraling inflation!

After all, a company that needs to pay its workforce more will (a) fire some people to cut cost, or, (b) raise prices.

Inflation is not something that "happens" to us, it is something that we cause.

It is like complaining about the traffic jam you're in... you are literally part of the traffic jam, you are part of the problem...
I really thought I'd see meaningful progress on harmonizing quantum mechanics and relativity or some of these other "big" problems in fundamental physics but now I'm not so sure.

This by the way is a good reason not to dump tens of billions into a successor to the LHC. We simply don't know what we're looking for. Despite a number of significant upgrades we still haven't found anything that breaks the Standard Model. I mean we've disproven a lot and that means something but we should still have an idea what we're looking for.

I'd love to know what making new space (ie what makes the universe expand) actually means. At one point I thought space might be discreet (eg at the Planck length) but that's not how that works.

What is time? What is space? What really is mass? What is a force? These are things we can describe the effects of but not really what they are. It would be deeply disappointing if there was a fundamental limit to our understanding that would prohibit a deeper explanation, which actually seems like a possibility.
Governments have been pretty good about regulating local pollution. If you try to dump cyanide into a river, the government will come stop you pretty quick.

However, no government really cares about global pollution. Ie. greenhouse gasses... Or mercury in the ocean. The benefits of the polluting activity are local while the downsides are global.

For that you really need some global government which is going to take a worldwide view when deciding what is illegal/taxed. Unfortunately there are big downsides to worldwide governance too.
I agree. And I think insurance companies will lean this way also. Self-driving (meaning human control) will come at an insurance cost premium. Of course the whole concept of liability gets interesting. I'm expect that within a couple years that AI-driving will be markedly safer.
also they splintered into multiple khanates early on with the great khans only having some respect rather than the ability to stop the infighting.
F# suffers from being a stepchild in what concerns .NET product management.

They accepted to place it on the box, but never gave it the same love as VB and C#, or even C++/CLI, and now they could rename the Common Language Runtime into C# Language Runtime, given how little outside they give to anything not C# on newer workloads.

Had F# been given feature parity with C# and VB on Visual Studio tooling and core frameworks, the adoption scenario would be much different.
Obligatory Fight Club reference.

Fight club: people fed up with the system decide to blow it up, release date movie 1999, book 1996.

Millenials: people born 1981-1996, thus a critical mass hits adolescence when Fight Club is released.
The alternative Base/Core from Jane Streets looks good though. Of course it splits the community but the work done on it is very good.
I don’t get the point of fsd. I get the point of cc-take a load off your foot; and lh-wake you up if you drift. But all that fsd does is stress me out having to hyper-vig over the wheel and break in case the fsd fsd’s up. (And those stupid flight-yolk style steering wheels suck!)

Does a date imply going somewhere? Most of my dates were at mine or other party's home, and we'd describe them as "dates".
Japan's population has been in decline for a while [1] and there may be other compounding factors. Adding a video that can does a good job explaining this. A lack of dating will add to this problem.

As an experienced engineer, you should know that you can never give a good estimate. Very few things are as you would expect them to be.

I looked for an article on how to estimate latency. When I Google "how to estimate the latency of my program" the top results are:

"Network Latency Guide: How to Check, Test, & Reduce"

"How to Measure Latency - Obkio"

"How to measure network latency: the 5 best tools - Kadiska"

They're all about measuring latency. Honestly I can't find any blog or guide that talks about how to give good estimates. Every time I Google a different variation of this question, it only gives me results that talk about how to measure latency. If you can point me to a good source that talks about how you can provide a good estimate of latency, I would be very surprised ;)
Remember back to EME, an Open standard doesn't necessarily mean Open implementation.

The actual workflow here is an open standard, but I'm having a hard time understanding why sites won't just require that you use Mediators/Issuers that were written by one of the big tech companies and then block everything else.

Not saying that will absolutely be the case, I'm just saying that I don't understand why I shouldn't be concerned -- I've seen these exact arguments get used in the past for systems that absolutely shut out independent browser/hardware/OS/ROM development.

I mean... CAPTCHA is effectively an Open Standard, even if it doesn't have a draft that I'm aware of. But that doesn't mean much when so much of how it works is rolled up in an unstandardized implementation and when website operators are ultimately in charge of choosing CAPTCHA providers, not users. Is the same thing going to happen with PATs?

> This makes it clear that people just want to do something useful in their lives.

People want to do something with obvious, tangible impact in their lives. Most of these games have a very clear impact on the virtual world; that wall is clean, and I cleaned it. That house got built and I built it. Those shelves got stocked, and I did it. So on.

In meatspace, most jobs are either heavily removed from a tangible benefit, or have bad pay and working conditions. You can be in HR or accounting or IT, and several steps removed from any kind of tangible end-product, or you can be a berry picker working in the heat for $7/hr.

With the advent of the assembly line and exacerbated by offshoring, the high-value part of the production chain has become managing production rather than the production itself.
1200 is not what a young adult male would have as far as I can tell. (very much "citation needed" ).

I don't know what's going on here, if you are just talking about trans males I would never have responded the way I did, and you could have been clearer in your earlier posts.

Or maybe you just brought that up as some sort of bad faith attempt to change the subject from the fact you are posting misinformation on human anatomy without citation?

Given the sarcasm in your last paragraph that seems more likely.
"Walking simulators" is term for games the focus is on exploration and storytelling rather than combat and more traditionally skill based gameplay mechanics. Most of the game loop involves walking from place to place, enjoying the scenery and discover the next part of the story. As a rule you're not really tested in the game and as such you cannot really fail the game, although the choices you make can lead to 'better' and 'worse' endings.

Sorry to be a little pedantic, but "road tax" was abolished in 1937 - https://ipayroadtax.com/

The current Vehicle Excise Duty is based on the amount of pollutants emitted by the vehicle - https://obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/tax-by-tax-spend-by-spend/... - so electric vehicles still receive tax demands (albeit for zero).

Electricity to refuel cars is subject to VAT (at 5%).

Can we trust Tesla (and other manufacturers) after they did this:

"Tesla eventually agreed to split the cost of the repair, but before they would do that, the owner had to sign away his right to discuss the defect, which could preclude him from reporting it to the National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration (NHTSA)."

That is the Texas model... let miners drive up the average price for consumers across Texas, with the idea they will voluntarily stop mining and free up capacity when there is a power surge event. The Governor is so into free market ideology that instead of pricing capacity into the system, we are relying on private groups of miners to 'do the right thing' when needed. Meanwhile, the energy companies are seeking my permission to auto-adjust my smart thermostat to keep the miners running.
Not necessarily, they could potentially reduce profit margin instead.

I think you are correct, and that behavior is to the patients’ detriment.

Ask HN: What idea(s) do you regret not implementing?
While searching for an old thread, I found this one [1] from 12 years ago that got me thinking: What in 2022 do you regret not implementing?

"Science" doesn't care about individual careers or generations (in that case of physicists) who are left with "nothing else" to discover (fundamentally) and are simply "condemned" to pass the torch (determining values and uncertainties as best as possible). It's a brutal selection process if viewed from an individual lens which can consciously participate for say at best only 3 generations.

The institutionalized systems - which themselves carry an often underappreciated (in the field itself) or overexaggareted (outside the field) intertia - we now have in place to best approximate "science" are still left with a lot of headroom for optimization.

One of the many corners overlooked handwavingly imhv are for example the attempts to raise scientific literacy (critical thinking, formulating (theoretical) and testing (practical) hypotheses) in the societies overall, the fertile humus, so to speak. Because of the massive shifts/societal changes actually the reverse seems to be happening in the last decades in an accelerating speed. Decentralizing science could help here and is a legitimate concern in the case of the LHC as an example of a highly centralized research model. I find the struggle for a sweet spot appropriate, here.

That being said, it is still possible that we just find ourselves at a local low (at the current level of the LHC) with some arising anomalies but by just pushing the energies a little farther this let's us get out of the hole, again.
So, nobody is arguing to shut the LHC altogether, but depending on what we find, the next "Future Circular Collider" to be built on top of it might simply not be "worth" it in the foreseeable future.
if you can't explain what your code does, you don't know what your code does.

if you can say you know the level of detail you need to write for all the code you're ever going to produce, you're probably not writing very complex code.
>That is a political problem and it is solvable. If Western governments can find the public support for trillions in military expenditures, I am confident that it can be found for the comparably meager budgets of the scientific establishment.

Is it solvable? Humans are notoriously bad at certain things and investing in things that aren't showing interesting results is one of them. How many companies will cut something that prevents problems because they don't see problems?

If you want to solve this, you would need to do it the same way the MIC has solved military funding, by ensuring continued funding of science is necessary for politicians to be re-elected. But that borders close enough to corruption I'm not sure the scientists who need the funding will be agreeable to it, to say nothing of the difficulty engineering this.
Interesting. What does going on a "date" even mean these days?
There's a bit of a generic problem here. "Pop-history" books generally need to be based around some sort of narrative - it's what primarily distinguishes them from their "purely academic" cousins. But the problem that the academic world often has with them is not the facts they contain, but the fact that they try to spin a narrative that the academic world doesn't yet feel "full" consensus on.

Consequently, if you're an author seeking to be absolutely fidelious to the known facts about some period of history somewhere, but nevertheless desire to spin a narrative from them, then frequently no matter what that narrative might be, you're crossing a line that many in academia don't think you should cross.
The article addresses that a bit. The effect is small and they are still driving everywhere alone (instead of public transport) so the authors say that electric vehicles are the only way out.
I'm not sure the people who might've crossed over to Britain almost a million years ago were literally the same people who migrated over the Bering Strait land bridge (physically, that is). Were they even anatomically modern humans, with the same ability to make tools and think creatively?
I remember there not being seconds at supper (1960s), Mom would serve, deciding how much everyone got: Dad first, then each of four kids, then herself. I know this is part of who I am, and some of why the house is stuffed. My wife laughs at how much clothing I have, because I still have clothes from 1979. Well, mostly she laughs at my stuff from the Eighties. But I remember shopping at Goodwill or my mom making everything we wore. It's not worth the anxiety to not-have.

I'm not sure what's in the workshop, but the list of supported devices in the Google Matter sample code can provide you some ideas for ESP32 device compatibility.
