It's nonsense is what it is. Do you think the steppe nomads ate "salt water fish and also sellfish"? The people who lived in mountains, in the center of Europe or Africa and far away from sea?

Recorded history is 5000 years btw but we've been around for more than 200,000 years, and most people definitely did not live near the ocean for all that period.

Instead of telling me to "do a little research" you show me what "research" you did that supports your preposterous ideas.
Probably costs 3-4 times that to power the infra. They’ll make money back if they’re able to do several step changes of improvement in cost optimization.
Good catch. I wasn't sure if the newest variants were still mechanical linkage or if they had been "updated" with fly-by-wire systems. It seems it's still predominantly mechanical, with fly-by-wire sprinkled in here and there.[1]

Always good. The system built into display settings ("click yes if you can read this, or the change will be reverted in 15 seconds") has saved me a number of times. No reason not to apply that to other settings where the data channel is the same as the control channel.
I did an analysis of the bug from the blog post and the TAO paper, and from what I can tell the fundamental bug is therefore the fact that the error handler that handles cache invalidation errors drops only lesser versions, while the cache invalidation contract requires replacing equal or lesser versions.

Matters less what you would be okay with compared to what your corporate counsel would be okay with. But sure, go file that expense claim.
Maybe because we're getting drier and warmer than ever. Maybe because of more encroachment on the UWI leading to more chances of an incident. Maybe it always has been a problem but the cause has not been documented so causation was not associated.
The subject of the cause of wildfires is being studied intensely by specialists, and by partisans, and by horrified and urgent public individuals, at this time. California has the ability to collect data and study in ways that can be applied to other fire-prone landscapes where there are fewer resources. Current research shows that the large majority of wildfires in California are caused by humans at this time. A parent comment here ("stochastic") is basically accurate. (references on request) Dry lightening is also a leading cause of wildfire in the dry season, and was the cause of many, many simultaneous fires recently in California.
The scientific method is a mechanism for building a model of the world around us, in spite of the experimenter, and whatever bias they have. We've gotten pretty far with it.

The application of the knowledge thus gained, must be wisely used. This is where we're falling down as a society.

Hydrogen is certainly viable, but it will take a long time to build out the equipment to produce enough of it. Every last kg produced will be spoken for.

Once LH2 aircraft enter any route, kerosene craft will suddenly be wholly unable to compete. But it needs abundant renewables, and synthesis equipment and underground tankage at airports.

I absolutely agree - to a point.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to move books out of their semantically 'best' organisation if that order results in an aesthetically unappealing shelf.

As a specific example, I've mixed up a shelf's organisation because it had resulted in a row of pure beige. I didn't want that in my living room!
I work in pharma. Pricing in pharma for drugs like that is complicated. Usually these drugs do actually require rather expensive manufacturing processes, that have to run in extremely large facilities with extensive QA, but in fairly small batches.

More importantly, every major pharma has a compassionate use program that helps people who can't afford the drugs get them, through offsets and credits. I understand the desire to make pharma look like pure-evil profit mongers, but the reality is that this is not an easy business to be in.

We will need both. Given cheap, green electricity, there will be unlimited industrial market for as much cheap, green hydrogen as can be produced. And a very great deal will be produced.
> boom in the biotech sector in the 2020s

Thanks, McKinsey, that's a great use of your consulting superpowers. Hey, was there a boom in artificial intelligence around 2015 as well? For $65,000 an hour, I'm sure you'll be happy to tell us.
I have a suspicion many will despise it and a few will love it, because they'll be able to use it for inspiration/quickly draft up new ideas.
We use a phased rollout process for all routine changes (like this one). Once a change has passed peer review and the "dry-run", changes are rolled out to progressively larger slices of our production environment, with monitoring systems and engineers watching for adverse effects.

The specific network locations that were impacted by this change were amongst the last to see the change rolled out. One deficiency in our deployment strategy (which we will correct) is that no network locations in the affected "MCP" configuration received the change early in our rollout process. If that had been the case, we would have found the problem much earlier and the incident's impact would have been much reduced.
This EU study suggests that we could produce enough hydrogen to fuel air travel with about 32 Pwh annually, which is maybe 20% of current global energy production. I am pretty sure your assertion is simply wrong. Converting to hydrogen would be expensive, possibly dramatically more expensive than other solutions, but it seems totally achievable.

I tried to find the source of the "V has to die" comment, and I see that you linked this in a previous claim that Xe said "V should die": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27442724

Actual quote from this comment:

Personally I think it is something that should be ignored until it dies into obscurity
There are good ideas there, but if you sell someone the moon and give them a block of cheese that's kind of a scam

This is definitely not "has to die". This is "should be ignored" and a prediction that V will die, justified by disappointment at the large gap between their interpretation of V's marketing vs the reality of the current state of V.
Bill Gates is seeing the light now.
Well you need Helium to use the network so at the very least there is that. Maybe you can get Helium by setting up your own node(?), if you need to use the network. It make sense for you as a user to add to the network so you can get some Helium. I don't know the accounting but I think there is a possibility for it to be less expensive. I really don't know a lot but I do know that it's a self improving network so in time the economic parts will work themselves out.

I also believe that the current model of setting up networks can't keep up with a self improving network. Imagine a network that's always a top of the line network. That grows or shrinks as needed. Who will have the resources to compete with it?
This stifling of competing ideas, say a growing number of scholars, is a big reason why there is no treatment for Alzheimer’s. (The four approved drugs have no effect on the disease, providing only a temporary memory boost.)

Those who championed the amyloid hypothesis truly believed it, and thought that focusing money and attention on it rather than competing ideas was the surest way to an effective drug.

Or maybe the real problem is the excess emphasis on finding a drug in specific that can be commercially monetized. A single drug for a single cause of what is likely a complex process.

Amyloid and another protein (tau) accumulate in the brain due to sleep deprivation. Helping people get a good night's sleep -- without drugs -- would likely help, if only to stave it off in those at risk.

The problem is it won't create any razzle dazzle "unicorn" companies and newly-minted zillionaires.

One of the researchers in the article found that herpes simplex infection promotes the accumulation of amyloid. Her research was not irrelevant to the amyloid hypothesis. It was only irrelevant to an agenda to find a drug to treat amyloid.

> it's likely a unionized business will not have as good of a capital-raising opportunity as a non-unionized business

I think a huge factor in this is that there are zero unionized businesses around in general. Chances of any of them being invested in by VC is therefore similarly zero.

If some marginally popular company unionizes, everyone will see that it’s not the big deal they make it out to be.

Capturing CO2 to crack and attach to that hydrogen is itself expensive.

But there are places where nothing but hydrocarbons will do. Your old chainsaw, and all existing airliners, e.g. So, we will capture CO2, and turn some of it into hydrocarbons and re-exhaust it. Hopefully not most of it.
I was in grad school at that time, in a program that heavily emphasized bio-entrepneurship. It was not easy to get money to start a biotech company at the time. The only ones I can recall required a star professor, a working technology, a university patent, and even then, most of them failed or pivoted.

Durability is much harder to rate, and use of plastic doesn't imply lower durability.

Go look at a car with fenders that are rusting away. My car is one of them. Inside of the wheel well there is a fender liner made of plastic. That thing takes 10x the abuse of the fender and is still in good condition unless its mounting points have rusted away.

I wish that they had made my fenders from plastic. My car would be in much better shape if they had.
Sqlite team idolizes backwards compatibility. Which is admirable but at the same time it means we are not getting strong static typing of tables before 2035.

> Is it better to have an invisible "poor tax" that makes your single mother spend 2-3x the price of the cheap one over 10 years since it breaks so much faster instead of having to save up longer initially for the one that probably won't break in ten years?

"stop whining about gas prices and just buy a Tesla. It's way cheaper in the long run"

> Could do an escrow/deposit style thing so you can get your money back if your cheap shit actually doesn't break faster. So there's an incentive to make things cheaper only if you are confident in your long-term business model and reliability.

The capital requirements to implement that would be absolutely out of this world.
I'm like you in both respects, but I also read as fast as the parent commenter. My operating theory had been that, since nobody had taught me to read one word at a time and subvocalize them, I just developed a different means of reading than most people, reading several lines at a time rather than individual words.

The jury is out as far as whether I'm also autistic, though. I have a great many traits in common with people who are, but I've also found a surprising amount of success reducing my more frustrating symptoms by a combination of working through early childhood trauma (which has helped my nervous system stop overreacting to stimuli) and extremely strict regulation of my diet (I have only eaten 10 foods, prepared in two ways, in the last year and a half) to reduce gut leakage and brain inflammation. (The diet is not expected to be this severe forever. Foods are reintroduced in stages. And it includes slow-cooked meat on bones and organ meats, so it's not as dire/risky a nutritional thing as it probably sounds.)

Because I had no language delay as a child and Asperger's was not a separate diagnosis until I was well into elementary school (and they certainly weren't looking for it in girls), I was never tested or diagnosed as a child. I also haven't identified enough advantages to pursuing a diagnosis as an adult to choose to pursue it now. But if healing my nervous system and my gut eliminates my symptoms (eventually), I'm inclined to think that would indicate I didn't have autism in the first place, just a cluster of overlapping symptoms.
Read Cariou v. Prince before you get too excited.
I recently brought up a Windows 10 VM and a couple Debian, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD VMs to test building C software on multiple platforms and toolchains. It's notoriously hard to run MSVC on non-Windows platforms, especially my M1 Mac, so having a dedicated build VM is a must for me. I use QEMU on the command line to virtualize everything. Although it was incredibly hard to get both x86_64 and aarch64 Windows reliably working (3+ days of waiting for installers and trial and error, in case you're wondering) it's worth it as now I can use a shell script to boot each VM, rsync a folder full of source files, and then run cmake to check for build errors, all from the host machine. It's kind of close to some form of CI at this point.
As a practical matter, what alternatives might an editor propose that would adequately convey the facts of the event?
That's really great to know.

Although I wouldn't necessarily classify having to purchase the same model again as a scam - depending what's changed in the engine, it may require a lot of work to update the model to fully take advantage of everything X-Plane 12 (for instance) offers. If there's a substantial update for the model, I would personally feel fine buying a new version.

However, really nice to see Austin and Laminar have thought of this - some of us have waaaay too much invested into models and plugins!
Verbally in the same order as written in BrE - 22 June. (Historically '22nd inst. [instant]'.)

Hate to break it to you, the terminals of CMOS battery are typically almost directly attached to a number of chips that are thousands of times more fragile than the battery itself.

Essentially, you can't fry a CMOS battery with a transient without also frying at least couple components that will prevent the motherboard from booting.

Is it possible for a motherboard to get CMOS battery fried without frying anything else vital? Maybe... but...

If you told me that you were in a roll over accident where you did not damage your car roof I would say "well, maybe, highly unlikely but sure, why not, maybe this happened to you". But if you said you were in 17 rollover accidents and in 15 of theme the roof was undamaged I would say "you are full of crap".
I came here to say the same. My son (10) uses it a lot, he's figured it all out by just trying things.

The other day he had an issue with a slight echo in the audio. He mentioned it when we were out of the house. When we got home I had the idea that maybe he'd added the Audio Input Capture twice ... but I couldn't think of why that would happen.

When i mentioned it to him, he'd already figured it out and solved it. He had added two audio inputs when he was trying to capture his headset mic and his desktop mic (with phone taped to it, playing music) ... I dunno what the point of this story is ... OBS has a weird interface, but it reminds me of the good old days, when you just made it work and the users just figured it out.

I think the polished UI/UX we have these days makes us complacent. Afraid of poking and prodding.

In my opinion it's probably not worth adding unless the highest-confidence suggestion for a particular completion is significantly lower than average. So it informs you when it's especially uncertain and doesn't have anything better to offer, but that's it.
Agreed, copilot has been especially useful for boilerplate code or somewhat repetitive code like chess move enumeration, where the code for different pieces is similar but not the same.

It also saves a ton of time having to look up small pieces of syntax, I've taken to writing a lot of quick one-off scripts because copilot does a fairly decent job of generating code for the relatively simple individual steps.

As a polyglot who works in 4-5 different languages every 3-6 months, it's been very valuable.

I forget a lot of things, simple dumb stuff like type conversions or specific keywords spelling. Copilot takes care of 99% of that so I can focus on my higher level spec.

If anything sometimes it's too agressive. I start typing a word and it's already building up the rest of the application in a different direction...
It is not, in fact, the case that production of hydrogen is impractical. It will take time to build out electrolysis equipment. But you can buy it from China today.

And, given cheap storage, of course we can run passenger trains on renewables.
Aha. Next you can give the classic "this statement is a lie".

You sound like someone involved in the field. If this is the case, I may see where you're coming from in terms of arguing for perfectionism, thoroughness, and notability.

However, as someone unfamiliar about the issue, the subject is still notable and interesting enough to warrant coverage in a news article. None of the information was wrong, and the article's headline only set the expectation to support the premise that 'electrocuted birds are sparking wildfires.' Plenty of users thought the article was notable enough to vote for it to appear on the front page of HN. There was nothing incorrect or unethical about the article to warrant the argument that this is an example of irresponsible reporting.

Suitably, the paper was published in the peer-reviewed "Wildlife Society Bulletin" journal, far less prestigious than Nature or Science. The news article was published in Science's news section, and wasn't a cover story or feature of the Scientific American or The New Yorker. Nothing about the work claimed to be a comprehensive treatise of the subject.

Instead of harshly criticizing the news article or paper (which presented valid data collected in a reasonable way), you could instead use your energy and expertise to either publish a better study in a more prestigious journal to add to your publication count if you're an academic, or get paid by freelancing a more in-depth article for the Scientific American or The Atlantic/equivalent magazine if you're a writer.
These are the kinds of replies that still make HN one of the best comment sections on the internet, if looking at peaks. (The average is not great, but there's huge variance.)
