This is a false comparison. My SO teaches at a proper virtual school, funded by the state, where the kids outperform students in many brick and mortar schools (on standardized tests).

However, these students & parents both signed up for virtual and are well prepared for what that entails.

The pandemic only shows that poorly-prepared virtual learning is sub-par.

Note that modern compression[1] now allows decent fm-quality music or speech in just 375 bytes per second! That's fixed bitrate too!

That means that compared to AM radio, you can have a 200x power reduction - or more likely, use the same power but far fewer transmitting masts, saving millions of $$$'s annually.

> complexity

Yes, you're right - but it's all software, so when you've done the one-time effort of writing said software, the complexity is 'resolved' - it's not like a complex circuit where every single device must have more components, more labour to assemble, more expense, etc.

I dislike all writings on quantum entanglement as they seem more interested in clickbaiting than actually communicating actual knowledge.

Two contradictory talking points seem to be pervasive:

- Altering one atom affects the other instantaniously

- There's no FTL communication going on, it's just a correlation, even though we have told you before that quantum correlations are not like classic correlations, and even though we have told you that the atoms don't have any settled state until you measure them

Basically, never take seriously anything written about quantum physics in pop-science magazines.
Assume 1-2k usd per ear as a starting point for digital aids and (at least in the us) they’re not covered by insurance. They can be finessed by HSA if they’re still active or written off with taxes subject to the 7% agi rule. For most people, that’s something they’d rather not spend disposable income on - saying “what?” Is cheaper.

Also, while people seem quite willing to wear glasses to correct their vision, it seems people are (far?) less willing to wear aids. Perhaps it makes the world too loud, or it’s a hassle feeling like somebody has their fingers in your ears all the time. Damned things itch sometimes. But 85-90% of the time they make the world liveable.

Somewhere in the training data there could have been information about how to do this but the model just didn't have a "connection" to that data until sufficient context was established. It wasn't until the end that the human asked about how to fake free phone calls at which point it might finally access what it knew from the training data, combining it with the context data in the chat transcript to give the answer.

I suppose there is a small similarity of how we learn a lot of things in school only to forget them almost entirely again - but when we are presented with a problem that requires that knowledge we can quickly deduce that knowledge or know what to do to regain that knowledge a lot quicker than by learning from scratch.
TikTok really specializes at exploiting this niche though. They deserve at least some of the blame.
who even is? the article does not quote one of their supposed straw man politicians arguing '1.5 is still alive'.

everybody knows 1.5 is dead. rather than treating that like the literal mass grave/funeral it is, people are inventing some kind of naive-false-prophet science/politician figure to 'dunk on' about it so they can feel more savvy and in-the-know. the framing is one of winning a debate, not losing millions of lives. its gross.

I put your search into SearX with a lot of the major engines enabled (Google, Bing, Qwant, Brave, DDG, etc.). Arguably, Google did a better job giving me HN results (but it's a very small sample set).

https://searx.be/search?q=what%20camera%20would%20HN%20recom...

Results 1-3: SEO "best cameras" from DDG, Qwant

Result 4: Ask HN from DDG, Qwant

Result 5: Ask HN from Google

Results 6-8: SEO "best cameras" from DDG, Qwant

Result 9: Ask HN from Google

Result 10: Camera forum from DDG, Qwant

Edit: if you're not familiar with SearX, everyone who visits will get a slightly different result based on dynamic results. Even if the same person refreshes a few times the exact results and ordering will vary; I've learned to try the same search a few times to get better results, it's just a quirk of how it works and how each remote engine reacts at that given instant.
> EVs are simply better than PHEVs.

Really? hard to argue about that because it's a statement without any backing. "Simply better" , a magical "argument".

My focus on Tesla? My Youtuber? I'm not sure if I should honor this strangely aggressive comment.

I'm not advocate of any of those, my personal position is that public transportation is both the present and the future of transportation. Cars are great recreational machines and EVs, petrol cars or other types have different characteristics with different kind of fun(EVs acceleration is amazing but petrol is lightweight and agile, their engines sound is amazing). No, from recreational perspective EVs are not simply better.
Agreed: if you want to get into uni then you have to show that you can do the things that a uni wants you to do.

Those aren't necessarily the most objectively sensible or intellectual things (I found uni painful at times in part becauase of that), but that's not the point.
Sorry I have owned PHEVs and EVs. For someone who has access to a charging point (either at home or nearby) EVs are just all around better. PHEVs were great 15-20 years ago. But time has moved on, and EVs are considerably better on maintenance, acceleration/deceleration (ie, more fun) as well as environment as the emit zero local CO2 and with solar, zero completely.

I saw a lot of EVs being rented on my recent vacation.

You can complain about the myth that batteries are somehow more polluting that the entire supply chain of petroleum (extraction->refining->transport->storage->burning in your car) but the tens of thousands of superfund sites that are gas stations are evidence that's not the case.
that a present-day Von Neumann is probably somewhere working on ad/fintech is in many ways even more depressing.
"Several of these quantities are not provided in the data and therefore need to be imputed assumed. First, the valuation of the firm at t=2 in model time is defined as the latest associated with a “late-stage” round by the end of 2020. If no such rounds exist the company valuation is set to zero. If such a round exists but the valuation is provided by Pitchbook, I set it to zero. Next, Pitchbook typically provides the initial stake of the early stage investors. If it does not then I assume the early stake is Finally, I assume a constant dilution factor of .75."

I've made assumptions about the thing that effects what I try to predict the most and have found that my algorithm says people are wrong.

> Rather than collapse into despair, getting real about 1.5°C should mean we are able to hold open a space of grounded, realistic optimism.

So what does that realistic optimism look like? "We're never gonna make 1.5, we've already blown past it, hundreds of millions of people are going to suffer and die because of the choices of the wealthy. But, on the bright side..."

I don't think many people, especially politicians, can honestly be realistic AND optimistic. You can't put optimism into this conversation until you've first had acceptance. And you can't have acceptance until you have at least understood the significance of the situation and probably gone through some kind of grieving process. We're way off from that. People are still booking international vacations and buying brand new full size SUVs to do groceries.

And there's no need to collapse into despair either.
>Google makes $40bn...If I can create something that just a tiny fraction of people find useful, then I can create a huge amount of value.

You conflate two meanings of value: monetary value, and intrinsic value. Search engines are intrinsically but not monetarily valuable to users. Search engines are monetarily, but not intrinsically, valuable to advertisers. You can get into trouble when you conflate these two meaning of "value".

In fact, right here is the pivot on which the internet goes from an idealistic shang-ri-la for geeks, to a commercial hellscape for the unwashed masses. It is surprisingly easy to create intrinsic value with computers! You see it all day every day on HN: some geek had a thought, spends a weekend making it, and then deploys a solution.

It is surprisingly hard to extract monetary value from an intrinsically valuable solution. In fact, I believe that creating artificial scarcity is the hardest part of building an internet business, requiring invention on par with the intrinsically valuable part - and yet its the very thing that idealists rail against.

(And making something artificially scarce does seem morally repugnant. And yet I don't see any other way to pay developers. Full stop. Open source software + consulting fees is a good way to go, but that can't apply to hosted search for the public. Well I guess it could, you could teach businesses how to game your own engine!)

Mechanical engineering, most mid size or large orgs use "PLM" software (product lifecycle management) to handle "versioning" (revisions, change orders, etc) of CAD files, drawings and sometimes other engineering documents.

They tend to be complex, expensive and centralized software that require an entire IT team to set up and maintain. Sort of similar to ERP software, and in fact, they often get integrated with ERPs.

Smaller orgs tend to use nothing, or an ad hoc system of file/folder structures and spreadsheets, because they can't justify the cost of PLM. I wish there existed a lightweight option. Git doesn't work well with large binaries and it's merge-based workflow doesn't really apply to CAD anyways. PLM software usually use an exclusive check-out model. There is OnShape, a low cost cloud CAD start-up that was bought by Siemens, which has some PLM features I believe.
This is certainly not the norm. Although having to cook/buy/think about food is annoying, the overwhelming majority of people I know love eating.

Clandestine phone/computer break-ins are the new wiretaps, and I'm just fine with wiretapping by law enforcement with oversight, and with a cost significant enough to require targeted use. I'm not okay with ubiquitous surveillance of the public, which is what you end up with when communication is largely conducted electronically without end to end encryption. If we generally have end to end encryption, then I think it's acceptable that law enforcement can hack and plant bugs.

Of course law enforcement will abuse this, as law enforcement is only human. Law enforcement can abuse all of its powers anyway, but it's kept in check by the cost of doing so, thus it's not possible for the abuse to scale to the point where it has severe chilling effect on the whole society.

Here's the summary:

→ a new Harvard study found giving low-income Americans cash isn’t that helpful. Researchers gave 5,000 US participants $2000, $500, or nothing. “Within 4 weeks, we see no significant difference in bank balances between either cash & control groups,” wrote one of the study authors. And: “We find NO positive effect of cash—if anything, in some prespecified analyses, we even see negative effects.” Apparently the cash infusions added stress to people’s lives, which makes sense (likely family and friends came knocking).
Yes, visiting France, it's amazing to me how local laws have resulted in shopping that's accessible by most via bike/walk/tram (ie, car not needed).

I find it exceedingly improbable that he has actually bred that many frogs. The 1.4million estimate comes from _him_, on TikTok. None of the videos show anywhere near that amount. Even if they only measured 1cm^3 that'd still be more than a cubic metre of frogs completely packed -- wouldn't fit in his pond.

I also do not see the danger of relocation, he has harvested the eggs from the same place he used to breed the frogs.

IMO this is just plain alarmist.
I have nothing against Nexus, my pont was "you can only download this mod from this url" , this means if Nexus goes down it will be illegal for some kind soul to publish the mod on a different website.

Other problems are when a mod has a bug, you will very often see in comments things like

"I can share a fixed mod, the author is gone and I don't have the permissions, so JUST open the mod in this tool, and do this exact 12 steps" then the entire community has to do this process because you can't put a fixed version up.

So I would prefer it to be a collaborative community and less of a store where you pay with your download and endorsement.
it's not that hard here (Hungary)

yes using a collections company is the fastest way, but here the cost is less than 10%.

and it's not that hard in case of mortgage defaults in the US either (foreclosure is completely routine). oh and there was a story of a dude who won some claims against some bank, the branch was either clueless or forgot to pay, so eventually the dude went to the branch office and packed up some of their furniture. (which is of course less routine)

the way it works here is that if the company doesn't pay upon the court order they automatically enter into bankruptcy and the court appoints someone to manage the company during. so they can't just suddenly "increase expenses"
