Frankly, I wouldn't be shocked, but it certainly depends on the measure used. I suppose a lot of people on Twitter are just there for reading, never posting anything.

Bots are posting a lot, so are much more visible.

Anyway, it's not the point of the lawsuit anyway - it's not material at all for the deal, as far as I know.
What was mind-blowing was the aesthetics, and the concept of being “beamed” or digitized into a computer. I didn’t care a lot as a kid what was CGI or not.
This is awesome. Gitea is great but needs to continue with development. Having Blender on board and even supporting the development will help so much. As someone who migrated to Codeberg few years back, I look forward to what this brings.
They eat all of our pears before they're ready-- and before we even get a chance to get them. Very selfish.
We just found this out last week! The squirrels ruined our swing cushion on the porch. We were totally confused when we saw the torn cushion but later my wife saw a squirrel picking out the cushion fiber and carrying it to the tree.
Question for you both. I’m using ForeFlight in sim and real. Does Navigraph replace FF in sim or supplement it? Visited their site and it’s not immediately clear. Thanks.

This is exactly how they lost me. I have no idea which ones I've seen and which I haven't, because from the title or a little blurb, they tend to smudge together. So rather than watching repeats, I just quit.
I have the same model - amazing phone for the price btw. - and have the same intermittent issue. But, I can switch to Lens which will always work - just not as seamlessly.
thanks for sharing. will check this out!
I would say you have to be in the top 0.5% to make minimum wage as a fiction writer.

If you want to write listicles, sure you don't need as much talent and you can make above minimum wage.

Safari is the mainstream browser with proper tail calls implemented. Was there some historical point where Apple blocked it and so others followed along but then Apple turned around and did it anyways?
On Nikon's Z mount you can use F mount lenses with an adapter going back to 1959, just to illustrate their extreme commitment to backwards-compatibility. This new Z mount isn't going anywhere. It's not Nikon's style to change mounts, it's been 60 years. They intentionally made the new Z mount as large as physically possible as to make it future-proof.
That idea doesn't work in reality. For example, i go to a website, and just read and browse it. No data should be collected as i never update or call the backend.
That makes sense then. I have two suggestions if the person who made this is reading: maybe fill out the hubble image with black so it can line up with the JWST image, might make the interface less janky? Or if someone knows of a larger imagine from another telescope(Spitzer?) That could be a more interesting comparison for that particular observation.
They did better than that and had curves as well. See the multiple youtube links on this page.

Working Offgrid Efficiently (2020)
I think Microsoft with their entire OS, but yes you're right
The way I see it from the outside, Medium had a lot of lofty goals that unfortunately turned out to be in conflict with each other in the real world.

One one hand, they wanted to create the best writing and reading experience on the web, by investing heavily in product design, and manually curating and promoting quality writing that would be interesting to read.

On the other hand, they wanted to democratize publishing by making it easy to write and encouraging just anyone to get their ideas out onto the platform, regardless of how readable those writings were.

Subscribers that were willing to pay monthly for access to curated, thoughtful writing increasingly found a site filled with low-quality boilerplate. Established writers who had at first enthusiastically adopted Medium increasingly fled the site in order to protect their personal brands and reputations.

In the end, no one was happy, except mediocre clickbait writers. There wasn't enough subscription money to justify focusing entirely on quality, and ad-based models were too much in conflict with the platform goals for them to be able to make up the difference via scale.

I definitely don't think Medium has been a failure in its first 10 years. Quite the contrary --- they really did raise the bar for reading experiences across the web, and for a time, they did have the best and brightest writers churning out thoughtful, interesting content.

But it was an idea ahead of its time. Without established cultural and technical micropayments infrastructure (a situation which has seen practically no progress in these past 10 years), it was always going to be an uphill battle to fund the kind of experiences they wanted to create.

I doubt there will be many changes in this state of affairs during the next CEO's tenure. That said, I hope to be surprised, not just because it would be good for Medium, but because it would provide much-needed hope for the web as a whole. Our need for social platforms that care about empowering and educating people, rather than exploiting them, is even greater than it was 10 years ago. Perhaps Medium's next act can help rekindle that flame.
It's striking how much more flamelike the structures appear to be, with the added resolution
Oh, that makes sense! You're coming to ridiculously wrong conclusions because you're working from ridiculously wrong data, but not about the storability of hydrogen; rather, about the relevant efficiency figures.

Let's put some concrete numbers on this. Grid-scale PV in California has a capacity factor of 29%, based on a nominal efficiency of typically 21% and a nominal solar constant of 1000 W/m². This gives 61 W/m² of solar cell as a round-the-clock average. A hectare of solar cells would be 10000 m², but because solar cells are more expensive than land they are not placed edge-to-edge without gaps; I'll guess that 30%, 3000 m², is a closer estimate, but I'd appreciate better figures from real utility-scale PV installations. That's 180 kW per hectare, round-the-clock average.

Hydrogen has a LHV of 120 MJ/kg, so with 100% electrolysis efficiency 180 kW would work out to 131 kg per day per hectare, using the 30% fill factor above. Actual electrolysis efficiency is only about 70% in current industrial practice, reducing this to 92 kg per day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water#Efficien...

Then we have the question of how much energy is lost in compressing the hydrogen for storage. This is a little tricky to calculate because the answer can be arbitrarily low (isothermal compression is perfectly efficient) and even adiabatic compression depends on the kind of gas you're compressing, but the electrolysis link above says, "Practical electrolysis (using a rotating electrolyser at 15 bar pressure) may consume 50 kW⋅h/kg (180 MJ/kg), and a further 15 kW⋅h (54 MJ) if the hydrogen is compressed for use in hydrogen cars.[37]."

So we're at 234 MJ/kg in, 120 MJ/kg out. This gives 67 kg/day of hydrogen for our hectare. This is an average including the occasional cloudy day that happens in southeastern California; on sunny days the number is higher.

67000 grams is, I think, not accurately described as "a few grams".

https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fcv_sbs.shtml says current fuel-cell cars on sale in the US go 64–72 miles per kg, or, in non-medieval units, 103–116 km/kg. 67 kg (again, an average day, not a sunny day) thus gives you 4300–4800 miles, or, in non-medieval units, 6900–7800 km.

6900–7800 km is, I think, not accurately described as "a mile or two"; even though there are admittedly many different incompatible definitions of a "mile", none of them is close to 1000 km long.

In extremely polar countries like Germany and the Netherlands, PV capacity factors are much lower, sometimes below 10%, so you have to divide all these numbers by a factor of about 3.

So, how did you end up believing figures that were wrong by three or four orders of magnitude, and with such confidence that you were dismissing correct, factual accounts of energy economics as "just marketing"? And how can you avoid getting suckered into such swaggering delusions in the future?

Thats why the day doesn't end at the instant of 23:59:59, nor does it end at 23:59:60 (if there is a leap second). It actually ends at 24:00:00. Which is the same instant in time as 00:00:00 of the following day. Every conforming implementation of ISO 8601 should know about that. And all software should conform to ISO 8601.
That doesn't compute for me. You'd need to give an example for me to understand you.
Yeah this is indeed the big misunderstanding. What is responsible for most negative stuff on Twitter is activity on Twitter coordinated from outside of Twitter by users of Twitter. This appears as it some kind of automation because it is endless amounts of people saying the same things like "Trump is guilty of intimidating witnesses" or "Elon haters say the same thing all the time" ... Take a look at any local TV or Radio station Twitter account and they are endlessly replied to with the same talking points. But these are otherwise regular normal people who feel they are participating. But they usually aren't very representative of the public as a whole.
I wish someone would investigate these squirrels and interrogate them under oath. Get them on the record and not let them weasel out of telling the truth.
Yes! I had ~5 Google Workspace subs I wasn't using, cancelled them all. I also cancelled the auto renewal for about 10 domains which I know I'll never really use. Other subscriptions I recently cancelled are Canva, a bunch of VPSs, and I'm also considering if I should cancel Spotify, even though it's a very low cost.
It seems like the popular sentiment here is that not only will client-side programs continue to be crackable, but even server backends too.

I posit the opposite. In the future, it will be impossible (in many cases) to crack even client-side applications. Reverse engineering and de-obfuscation are a cat and mouse game. However it's been proven that it's possible to obfuscate a program such that it's effectively impossible to deobfuscate. This is called indistinguishable obfuscation [1]. Basically like encrypting a program. And even though current implementations are impractical, I'm sure it will get better.

> That is ~6.25 times the light collection area of Hubble(25.4m² vs 4m²)

This would have to be scaled by the wavelength being observed, for a resolution comparison. Hubble actually has better absolute resolution, when viewing shorter the wavelengths that JWT can't sense (0.05 arcseconds vs JWT 0.1 arcseconds).
Appreciate that you probably didn't want to be accused of shameless promotion but I'm genuinely interested; what is the name of your book?
I agree, but it _could_ explain why it would happens here, if it's true that the larger HN audience/users like nuclear and don't like renewables.

While to many people nuclear is a backwaters idea (except fusion and other non-polluting nuke systems) there are possibly at lot that do like 50s style nuclear power. I just didn't want to really think it was possible with such a well educated/logical group.
Tips for New Elixir Developers
That would be pretty cool! I'm not sure Rust can support these features, though.

* Generational References involve some pretty deep compiler support. One can implement something like it in Rust with a thread-local side table, but with >3x overhead compared to language-supported generational references.

* Higher RAII requires that a language not treat destructors and panic handlers as the same thing. Unfortunately, Rust uses one function (drop) for both. Additionally, it would be a backwards-incompatible change; Rust generic parameters already assume a zero-arg drop() is available for all parameters, even though there's no trait bound declared for them.

* Regions get most of the borrow checker's optimizing power with a fraction of the user complexity. Having both borrow checking and regions would just be adding complexity though, which defeats the purpose a bit.

Still, there are a few other features of Vale that we're thinking of proposing to Rust, especially around concurrency, determinism, and better memory safety guarantees.
I've always been quite careful with these subscriptions. I've got Spotify and Amazon Prime, which comes to around 15 Euro/month for both.

Friend of mine got Netflix, Sky (for soccer), Audible and some more and comes out at almost ten times as much per month. I find that insane I don't even have time to consume so much stuff.
You can. The leap second is always 23:59:60
Squirrels are a pain just as rats are but in another way. They're all around the apartments I live in and constantly get into our plants and destroy them. I spray cayenne pepper and other deterrents once in a while but they don't always work unless you keep at it multiple times a day.

Rats are social animals and much smarter than most of rodents (including squirrels). Trust me, my mother was behavioral biologist, and she experimented with both rats (black rats, Rattus rattus) and red (European) squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris).

But it goes with all content creators - sports - academia, getting PHD or Professor title.

Funny thing is that a lot of people try to become boxers or writers, football players as it seems easy to "make it" but I don't know if there is "car sports" rags to riches stories, to do car sports one has to be quite on the rich side anyway.

neither did I. Only passing on how amazing it is that so much was hand made. Example, in the clip above: 2:15 to 3:10 and 4:35 to the end there's no CGI but it looks like CGI
At some point on iOS they deprecated the "magnifying glass" that appeared when you held down on a piece of text, instead making your finger "pick up" the cursor. They've eventually re-introduced a similar (but worse, as it automatically starts a selection at the current word) functionality it but during that time it was very annoying.
This resonates with my own experience tremendously. I've blogged for ten years - opportunities have come out of it. I've worked on OSS for ten years - opportunities have come out of it. Most of the time I was doing both I felt like I was doing something inconsequential that only meant something to me. That was incorrect. Reliably putting work out there and collaborating with other humans makes things happen.
There are ten MILLION police arrests in the United States every year.

The police kill roughly 1100 people every year.

The entire job of police departments is to interact with people who are breaking the law.

If 0.25% of police arrests turned violent, that means police have roughly 25,000 violent arrest incidents each year. This is a number I am coming up with on my own, but if you actually grew up in a bad neighborhood you will see this as a conservative estimate.

So, if you're looking at this from a raw numbers "how many people die" perspective -- it's actually low.

All that said: cops aren't perfect. I have had bad experiences with them. I think some changes need to be made.

But the idea that there is an epidemic of police killings is not supported by the numbers.

Ask HN: Cat Toys for Humans”?
No, I'm not looking for a plush toy that I can chase around. (We'll see how many people reply without reading.)

Cats are apex predators within their weight class. They kill anything and everything, by day and night. It's amazing and shocking how much a cat can kill.

We take these creatures, put them in our homes and apartments, and expect them not to destroy things. When that (predictably) fails, we get them cat toys that they can chase, pounce on, claw, wrestle with, and in the end destroy, so that hopefully they don't destroy other things. (Plus, they can't kill the cat toys, but they look so cute while trying to do so.) Cat toys are a distraction for dangerous creatures.

Question: How much of modern society is "cat toys for humans"? Getting us to chase worthless things to fritter away our time and energy, so we don't do anything real?

How much of that is deliberate ("bread and circuses"), and how much is just the way things worked out? (When you want distraction, an amazing number of things can be used to distract yourself.)

I would guess that almost all video games are "cat toys for humans". So is most mass media. But how far does this go? Is politics "cat toys for humans"?

Or did I just wake up on the cynical side of the bed this morning?
Well, first of all, the claim has never been that only 5% of all Twitter accounts are fake. It's been that only 5% of what Twitter reports as monetizable daily active users are fake. Twitter already filters out a great many users (include many of the fake/bot accounts) from this figure.

Think about it in reverse - you find it unbelievable that if Twitter were lying so boldly about fake accounts that there wouldn't be more scrutiny. There is not scrutiny. Therefore, you should conclude that perhaps Twitter is not lying in the way you seem to believe.
This is such an impressive series of responses. I know some folks are flipping you shit here, but I’ve seen a lot of people try to “engage” with customers, in HN and elsewhere, and I think you’ve done it really nicely. You sound like a human; you admit mistakes; you follow up. Good on you.

I agree with you that visibility is not luck, but I do think being visibility increases luck!

When someone _comes to me_ with an opportunity, of course I want to seize it. But I can't control them _coming to me._ I can control how visible I am, which increases the odds that people will know about me, know what I'm good at, think about me for an opportunity, etc.

Perceived from the outside, I am lucky! "Wow, I can't believe [XYZ] contacted you about writing that library for them, you're so lucky." And in a way, that is luck. Something unexpected and good (definition from the article) landed in my lap. Of course looking back I can tie it all together: I published Thing A and Person B saw it who forwarded it on to Company C. See, no luck involved, strictly causal. So maybe it's a matter of perspective or semantics, but I think using the word "luck" is a helpful way to communicate the idea!

> Many do not because people online can suck and tear you down.

Agreed.
What works for me is setting the screen to greyscale. YouTube, Instagram and alike lose lots of their "impact" with me when the images aren'ts as nicely colored. ;-)

With Android this can easily be done through the Developer options.
Designers aren't dumb (well not for the most part). The problem is that they're optimizing for dumb people, potentially because either their background or current KPIs lead them to optimize for "engagement" as opposed to actual power-user usage.

The problem with optimizing for idiots is that it prevents those idiots from ever learning. Back in the day, idiots might fumble around with power-user features but will eventually become proficient at them if they use them frequently enough - I know many people that I would consider IT "idiots" but they still are very proficient at specific features they use regularly (more than me in fact). If you remove power-user features however, there's no chance for anyone to learn them anymore, so people have no choice but to remain idiots.

Agreed, and I also think Meta/Facebook's acquisition of Oculus was good for Oculus, too. Meta just reversed course on the requirement to have a Facebook account, which was the big thing people complained about. They're pouring enormous resources into VR with a long-term timeline. By some accounts it's less like Facebook took over Oculus, and more like Oculus took over Facebook.

I hope Valve sticks it out with VR, because though I do not like or use Facebook I think Zuckerberg could be right about VR, and someone needs to compete with Meta. I think for Valve it's potentially an existential threat.
Considering these are just the initial "test" images there is going to be some amazing stuff to come over the years. Can't wait.
