Electric energy =|= thermal energy. Nuclear energy solves the electricity part (which doesn't pose any issue at all), while doing nothing to aolve the thermal energy question. No idea why people, on HN of all places on the internet, fail to realize that simple fact...
> If he doesn’t owe us anything, then we also don’t owe him anything. Perhaps he’d like to take back his code and the rest of the world can take back all the opportunities and other things he’s been given In exchange.

I feel like this is a rather silly take. Book-writing, speaking, etc opportunities are not ongoing burdens like open source maintainership. Even job opportunities you can choose to quit. I think ultimately if people are doing things for free you can't ask too much of them since they are well within their right to stop doing it for any capricious reason.
This is sort of what Columbia did… they juiced their faculty numbers by counting the med school which has much lower class sizes and more educated teachers.
It's interesting, my experience at a FANG (which invests heavily in recruiting women engineers) is that approximately 25% of teams are 60/40 men/women, and 75% of them are 100% men. The women I've worked with have told me that this is not a coincidence, that they very quickly learn which managers they will not work under or which coworkers they will not be on a team with, and that they take the presence of other women on the team as an indicator that none of these characters are present.

I wonder if the same principal operates geographically - certain regions find that they just never encounter women or minorities in the workforce, and it may have as much to do with the region as the people.
I;m getting more and more convinced that the EU/US are far more tied together at this point then anyone thinks. I wonder if we are going to see the EU/US parity act like a peg to the dollar (or conversely, the dollar pegged to the euro) for a while.

This is simply not how forex works.

The flows of money through FX are astronomical amounts of capital, and even central banks struggle to maintain a hold on a subset of their own currency market, let alone artificially dumping and pumping a currency. The SNB (Swiss National Bank) is probably the most powerful in that regard (able to adjust the currency to their liking), but that is due to having an abnormally strong currency they've used to buy foreign reserves they can utilize to maintain the price targets they want.
This has happened in the past, but the most recent time was 2000-2002
Good grief. Reality is reality. And you mentioned violence, not I.

Push back can be an election which reverse years of progress. How do you think Trump got elected?! Pushback.

Apple's New iPhone Trick Seems Impossible
I have the feeling that’s because it’s a “best practice” and not a data-driven decision.

Wouldn’t they have led with, “we’ve witnessed X attempts and Y takeovers in the past year, so we’re introducing new security measures aimed at…”

To me, this seems like more frog-boiling authoritarianism “for our own good”, like the COVID lockdowns, censorship, etc.

I’m tired of technology forcing me to do things “for my own good” — and I recommend against companies who engage in those policies.

These are all the same arguments trotted out to justify Windows spyware and forced updates that routinely lag my computer for hours — because Microsoft knows better than me how to use my desktop and isn’t shy about pushing me out of the way to do so.
> We normally coach people to eat 1 g of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. So for 150 pound person that would be 150 g of protein per day or approximately 600 cal from protein.

"Lean muscle mass" excludes the fat on the body, right? A 150lb person should have less than 150lb of lean muscle mass.

USDA recommends 54g using their calculator. Don't forget the 38 grams of fiber! :)
We can survive without profits. We've done so for millennia, and there are hunter-gatherer tribes who still manage it today. I'm not convinced we can survive without nature.

Hey there HN folks.

Some of you have seen me around talking about Beekeeper Studio [1], my SQL GUI project.

As part of that I've been working more on Windows, where it remains a pain to spin up development resources.

I'm trying to figure out if I should build vamos data as-stated.

Would you use this product?
You should work part time for some minimum wage job for a week or two. Maybe dishwashing or somewhere that you have to deal with people constantly like 7/11.
I think professors and the actual scholars there don't really care. However, administration cares because ranking is tied to both how many undergraduates students apply and how much they can charge these students. If college rankings didn't matter financially then I hazard that Columbia would've had questionable numbers to begin with.

That said I agree that being an Ivy in NYC certainly was a major contributor to its more recent rise in the rankings and applications.
I don't know about Buffy but some later Star Trek series like Deep Space 9 will be really hard to remaster because they were shot on video instead of film. The detail just isn't there to be enhanced.
Why:

- Germany facing record deficit spending to offset energy shortages due to Ukraine war.

- Massive US-denominated debt in Europe, requiring USD to service and/or payoff at a time when the US has raised interest rates and decreases liquidity. This is a huge reversion of a bubble that has enlarged for over a decade.

- Greatly decreased USD revenue from exports to US due to inflation, adjusting EURO downward in a somewhat autonomous rebalancing (meaning not necessarily central bank led).

- Inflation over imports of food, energy & other goods settled in dollars.

- Fissures in the EU over German and Hungarian reluctance to participate meaningfully in defense of Ukraine as a proxy for defense of countries like Poland and Lithuania.

- Risk premiums across the board.

Which is part of the reason why France during winter typically imports electricity from Germany, because their nuclear plants can’t keep up.
Basically, people are expecting the Fed to have a stronger response to inflation compared to the ECB. The Fed is expected to have a stronger response to inflation than most of the world, which is why the U.S. dollar is so strong against other currencies as well.
> inconsiderate about including the clerks

As in, rudely excluded the clerks, or rudely included? Either way makes sense me to me.
Marble Music (2016)
The US is raising interest rates faster than others, all other things being equal - which they aren't but for simplicity, it's close enough).

That is effectively what is driving up the price of the dollar - more people are moving their money over to take advantage of rates that they expect will pay more than other currencies.

Think of it like this - Would you move your money to a bank paying 2% interest versus a bank paying 0% interest? Not everyone would, but many would.
Probably you're overthinking it...

"free as in speech, not beer":

"free speech", the right to say what you want without legal restrictions from the state

"free beer", beer you don't need to pay for

Nothing to do with beer making you "feel free" (?) or whatever

Then again, free speech is not about being able to modify speech, release your own version of another's speech, and so on (e.g. the US has "free speech" but MLK's dream speech is still copyrighted).

Perhaps a better slogan would be:

"Free as in free sex, not beer"

And if the slogan wasn't meant for corporations too, and wasn't coined in the puritan 80s/90s, it might have been...
For software, the usefulness in Gantt charting seems to lie in the visualizing and mapping project dependencies and rough ordering of milestones.

but it's about gas, always has been

Oil heating in Germany isn't supper common, it depends a bit on the region as it was trendy during some time in the past but most oil heating which had been build in the past has been replaced by gas at some point in the last 20 years.
US denominated debt in Europe is the real elephant to the lay person. Much debt was created in Europe and elsewhere outside the US that was priced and must be settled in USD - at far lower interest rates than are emerging from the FED at present.
To be fair, if somebody warned me of something for 40 years and that something would not happen, I’d be tempted to dismiss such warnings.
Would you really go into "broken currencies" with high interest rates, for example?

The carry trade in FX, i.e., borrow in low yielding currency invest in high yielding currency is a classic trade, but it is not risk free. FX can move against you.

Basically, uncovered interest rate parity says that the interest rate differential creates an offsetting effect in the FX rate. Empirically, that is a bit shaky/doesn't always manifest, there are debates on time horizon, etc., though. In short, FX not easy to predict.
Very profound, thanks for sharing!
Everyday India imports Russian oil it comes closer to helping the end of civilisation as we know it and probably the end of India in sooner time. Look at the insane heatwaves they’ve had this year.

What a sad life if you spend it not satisfied with what you have! Personally I am personally very satisfied with my life (I am 37yo) and I absolutely want no more… I have a nice job (pays well enough and is not boring most of the time and allow me enough free time), I have a wonderful marriage (happily together for 20 years), I have good friends and I live in a nice place (southern France on the riviera). I don’t need more money (my Toyota brings me around as well as a Porsche), I don’t need more responsibility nor challenges in my job (it would eat away my free time for family friends and hobbies)… furthermore my self worth is not tied to my job. My advice is to be content with what you have because because wanting more will only lead to unhappiness… ask why do you want more? What is the need you are trying to fulfill? Find out and work on that!

I saw a version of that joke on a BBS in the 90s. I definitely remember the manager progression at the end. But the 90s version I saw also had a very over-engineered Windows version. I wish I remembered more about it than that.
Whom can you sell rubble for euro at that price? No ordinary person that I know of could do it in Russia or outside last time I checked.

Outside of Russia, nobody will take your ruble. In Russia, somebody may, but that's not going to be a bank and the actual cost will be much steeper than advertised rate.

(US dollar skyrocketed to almost 100 ruble in March until Russian government decreed its officially worth 60 except now you basically can't legally buy western currency. HODL mode I guess?)
Mostly correct. It differs from your analogy because you can't (usually) directly trade two stocks against each other, but it's purely arbitrary. Unfortunately, we humans are very psychologically affects by what appears to be arbitrary reasons. :)

Samba is the way to go for AD on Linux, in my opinion. You'll likely want to run Samba (smbd and winbind) on the Linux clients as well.
None of those studies isolate peer interaction. As such they are a valid indication of the effect of school closures but the event is multivariate and you can draw no conclusions about the peer interaction effects directly. It amounts to "The experts say peer interaction is important so that must be one of the variables at play here" But the actual research some of which I cite in my sibling comment indicates the opposite.

Somebody forgot the Federal Constitution explicitly prohibits ex post facto lawmaking/prosecution.

As soon as it became a State issue, the States that want to regulate it are going to do so through paper trail created by employers/insurers/benefits providers, because that's just how the regulatory edifice works.

I truly hate that I actually grok how all this crap is going to play out before it does. It's bloody tiring.
Russia is past the point of no return. There can be no negotiations as long as Ukraine is still standing. Putin went all in and will get culled when the odds of failure are deemed too great by the court. His successor must be worse than him, as all the better ones have been eliminated already.

It’s a certified shit show and the only thing preventing conventional war in all of Eastern Europe right now is NATO. Economic war (and cyber and psyops) is what’s left, so that’s what they’re fighting with. Looks like they ran out of stuff to steal from their own citizens, so had to start looking outwards.
Yes, but it's for more than that. For instance, think of design issues with the algorithms. At any rate, 2 years is way too long, change them at least monthly.

BTW, I think I see your scenario, are you using TLS for connecting to a database between servers you own? If that's your case, use symmetric encryption instead. e.g., with spiped [1] or some other tunnel.

This is bad for Europe because our salaries (before tax) have already been lower than US salaries. Additionally we pay much more taxes than you guys on salaries (up to 50%) and on VAT (~20%).

Means at the moment until salaries get inflation adjusted that we pay a premium price for everything.
Shutting down heavy industry is already a doomsday scenario. That would imply millions of people out of work and billions if not trillions of dollars of lost GDP.

> Russia would implode without Gas money

Russia can sell to China and India. US/CAN has insufficient LNG transport capacity to completely replace pipelines from Russia. Germany has insufficient import terminal capacity.

Yes, they wouldn't run out of gas, but the price would likely spike 5-10x and crater the EU economy which is equally as bad.
> Don't derive purpose from chasing more because you'll always adjust to whatever you attain.

I'd rephrase this, or at least maybe this is what the intent was: it's not that bad to derive purpose from chasing more but it's probably bad to derive purpose from attaining. There's nothing wrong with being ambitious as long as the journey is how you derive purpose.
> Unrelated, and unsolicited 2 cents, IMO it's all about eating as many fibrous and leafy greens as possible. At that point, a moderate side of lean meat, potato, carb, practially whatever - does not matter so long as the fibrous and leafy greens are the majority source of calories.

If you eat a meal with a small steak and a baked potato, how many pounds of salad would you need to consume to get the majority of your calories from eating those leaves?
I really appreciate your very consistent and clear arguments. I would feel much better if the arguments coming out of the Supreme Court right now were anywhere close to this consistent and clear. Please don't get me started on the EPA ruling ... in this case there's a very clear law on the books that permits the EPA to regulate pollution of the air and water and thus protect the citizenry from externalities that clearly cross state lines.
Her stalker now knows where she lives. "Protections worked as intended" comes across very Apple apologist.
Yes! sRGB includes a gamma transform already. You can go much further though.
I feel like you’re taking the author out of context. His point is that without the open-source work fewer opportunities would exist for the person doing it. So it’s a bit disingenuous to act like you do all of this “purely for free” when it’s more like “self-marketing”. I get how imposing on people doing the former can be unreasonable, but asking things of people doing the later seems quite fair.

Why should anyone settle with a robber? We should be destroying the lives of criminals like this, not settling
Such hostile contempt... Lots of things to concern yourself about and not everyone is interested in everything which is fine, but it's gotten quite a bit of coverage and certainly a lot more people know about it, never mind laws are being discussed and actually passed. More importantly, explaining the concept is just a lot easier because it's significantly less abstract.
That leaves a strange taste in my mouth. I love writing open source for both me and other devs to use it and make their lives easier; I understand that big companies will also use it since that's one of the places where devs work, and since I make mostly tools or meta-tools ("dev solutions" and not "business solutions") I'm happy with this arrangement. When I do a more business-like solution, I tend not to publish it as open source and remain on my list of trying-to-monetize side projects.

But if you quantify it like this, "this company saved 8 billion dollars out of some extra work on your side, here is a pat in the back because they'd never even consider give back a single cent or helping in any way" it feels a bit strange. I know it's on me, and I just learned this contradictory feeling so need to unravel/understand it, but you def got the opposite feeling from me as expected.

Edit: you added the "I know it sounds a bit disingenuous to say this is just for the shareholders of random corporations." later, right? Which kinda reflects a bit of this feeling
> Slow-digesting carbohydrates like big-flake oats are really good.

In your current implementation you either have no unique constraint or it is a more particular case of UNIQUE(ancestor, descendant).
Depends if you have Euros or Dollars. The Euro used to be worth much more than a dollar. Of course, the value of a dollar is also falling, so it just means the Euro is falling faster.
I'd connect it to social media and have it write comments on random posts. For fun perhaps it would reply mostly about AGI topics but also general mathematical topics as well. This would be a simple way of exercising its ability to synthesise language usage beyond the expected collection of word chains usually employed by ML techniques which are often tricks rather than real learning.

Upvotes and replies would serve as metrics on how well the AGI is progressing.
> When I see someone who claims not to like when software gets frequent updates, I ask myself: "Do you even like software? I thought new functionality was supposed to be exciting!"

Taking away a much loved feature is exciting? Losing more and more control over your own computer, over things you paid for, is exciting? Waiting an hour for your PS4 to install mandatory updates because you haven't turned it on in a few months is exciting?

Good god this is such a naive opinion. I suppose you think all change is good? Even if the people implementing them are greedy assholes in search of ego strokes or power trips?

What if I changed the balance of your checking account to $0? Would that be an exciting change?

For every update that delivers on its exciting new promise, there are four others that have made the life of its developers easier at the cost of their users.

Developers are the ones getting paid beaucorp bucks here, making their life easier should not be a higher priority than supporting things that users want.

Speaking as a developer and lifelong computer nerd of 30+ years.
I find revealed preference to be very useful in many situations, but a ranking that has Harvard just below Swarthmore, at #61, does not pass the smell test. I say this as a graduate of Swarthmore — I cannot take seriously a list with Harvard so far down.
>then why provoke the war now? If they wait 5-10 years the US might implode and not even be able to resist them in the Pacific. The US economy is pretty questionable.

Xi is getting old. He may want to be around for the invasion. Also, if the next leader isn't as aggressive, the moment may be missed.
China is imploding far ahead of schedule developmentally (probably mostly a one child policy thing), whereas the US population is doing the reverse. By 2030, the tail end cohort of the most aggressive era of population suppression will be nearing 40y.o.
Or it can keep strengthening the dollar… strong greenback suppresses yields.

As a European, I unfortunately have to agree with you.
My child has truly general intelligence, but at the age of 5, I don't grant him total agency. He attains rights and responsibilities in approximately equal measure -- enough latitude to learn from his mistakes, but not enough to risk irreparable harm. I'm not sure how quickly one should expect AGI to "mature" but prior attempts at training chatbots on an unfiltered view of the net has been pretty disastrous...
> It is time to take a step back and consider what this kind of derailing does to the quality of discussion overall.

I've been told by people I trust, that I consider wise, that you should always assume the best. Maybe they had a bad day, maybe they are smarter than you and its you that can't understand, maybe they are trying but their own life is at a low point. I've been told that believing in the best of people will bring grace into your life.

I don't know if that is true.

What I do know is that every single time - every time - I assume bad intentions, it sours me, makes me less than I could be, and nothing good comes from it.

Assume the best. We are all still people and still trying.
I'd be curious to understand where you get that information from.

Fat that stays solid at room temperature is generally high in saturated fat (except for margarin, but let's keep it out).
Fat that stays liquid is generally vegetable oil (e.g.: canola).

I don't think there is strong evidence that vegetable oil is good for you whereas saturated fat is not. If so, I'd really like to read about it.
The dollar is falling compared to what? Commodity prices?
Not particularly, would assume something came up and the briefing needed to be pushed 30 min. Don't think it's particularly strange for the President's schedule to be moved around.

I feel like there is an inferential leap implied, to greatly simplify, from "A does X and B does X" to "A and B must operate relevantly similarly." For example, walking and flying are both modes of transportation, but you can't really learn anything interesting about one from studying the other
This is actually a lot harder to do than it sounds! Hiring managers will be suspicious of anyone overqualified, precisely because they know they won’t be there a few weeks later.
