The forecast for Death Valley this week has a range of 32-49. Being in the middle of Death Valley's diurnal range is not actually a good thing.
I'm happy for you! But this is exactly what I mean about the feeling and experience of hunger not being comparable.
> Now, for the first time in his life, he was living and working side by side with a bunch of illiterate peasants and proletarians, and he found it hard to keep his disgust in check.

It's easy to see how Witgenstein could fit into midcentury British academia. This attitude is echoed by Eric Blair.

He's famous as a writer (under the name George Orwell) focused on the suffering of the lower classes, yet he explicitly despised the choices of the unfortunate. His writing on his time in Burma is correctly recognised as fundamentally anti-colonialist, yet his contempt for the colonized is just as clear (but not discussed). In Wigan Pier it's not just the workers but the socialists he scorns (sure, I agree the Fabians were useless, but he sneeringly refers to them as 'sandal-wearing vegetarians.') And his most famous book, 1984, he despairs the placidity and fecklessness of the proletariat.

Where are the nice people who are also influential?

Omega 3 also increases endocannabinoids, but a different form:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6685292/

AEA and 2-AG are synthesized from omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), arachidonic acid (AA), and are hydrolyzed by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL),

Herein, we review the discovery and physiological role of omega-3 eCBs that are derived from DHA and EPA (Figure 1A). We illustrate that the derivatization of carboxylic acid end of the omega-3 fatty acid with ethanolamide, glycerol or other groups, such as neurotransmitters, leads to substantial changes in their biological activity and receptor interactions. We also review the discovery, mechanism and activity of the following omega-3 eCBs- DHA-ethanolamide (DHA-EA), 2-docosahexaenoyl-glycerol (2-DHG) and eCB-like- DHA-serotonin (DHA-5HT), DHA-dopamine (DHA-DA) and the EPA analogs.
Chromebook pros:

- Digital experiences can offer different learning formats which might work better for a subset of kids.

Cons:

- Having computers in the classroom is a huge distraction, and not a valuable use of time for teachers to have to manage on top of everything else; kids constantly abuse the privilege and goof off instead of paying attention to the lesson. Teachers can either fail at their job and ignore it, or must constantly monitor and police all the screens while they are teaching. As if it's not already hard enough to manage the class?

- Chromebooks are expensive for school districts, they pay large ongoing sums of money to Google for the G-Suite SaaS contracts, too. They're not getting a great deal, districts often don't even have the expertise to evaluate if it's cost effective or not.

- Chromebooks get filthy and gross, with kid sludge and boogers and whatever else. Who should be tasked with cleaning them?

- Chromebooks result in excessive, unnecessary e-waste. Google offers updates for only a few years before deprecating them. They only run a web browser, but somehow they must be EOLd after only 5 years? Ok..

How about bringing back the books and chalkboards? Ill-informed parents would probably freak out and have a meltdown, thinking their kid is getting a second rate education without the stupid Chromebook during school time.

We are stuck in the minima of a very local function. So dumb.

This isn't the biggest problem though, it's the US public education system that created and enables all this, constantly making changes to curriculae and requirements in a non data-driven way.
My (minimally educated) guess is the funding model: they need to give lots of congresspeople stuff for their districts. Big projects provide much more stuff and are easier to sell if everyone can get a piece at once rather than Alabama getting this one piece one year and Colorado getting this other piece the next year.
If the margins were that high then wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that no miners will stop mining but the margins will decrease?

The miners will mine as long as it is profitable since they need to recoup the costs of specialized hardware somehow.
The content that they are exposed to on a daily basis is telling them that they are under attack and constantly uses war metaphors. The end result is that they are hyper-sensitive to conflict and see everything in terms of winning and losing. Conspiracies give them a comforting sense of belonging and being privy to a secret truth, providing them simple explanations for a chaotic and confusing world.

How do you know it’s one-shot? You can also see it as offering an opening for a conversation.

If you were to answer “I think of quitting”, “my dog died”, do you really think there won’t be follow-up questions, help offered, etc?

I also find it difficult to think of a reasonable alternative for such a ‘one-shot’ question. Wouldn’t it be weird to start with a multi-shot one (extreme version “it’s time again for you to fill in the emotional well-being questionnaire”)
Having a runtime does not, by itself, preclude interoperating with other languages that have their own runtime. Here's a project that does that for .NET and Python:

http://pythonnet.github.io/

(Note that this is not a reimplementation of Python on top of CLR, but rather a bridge between CLR and CPython.)

The thing that makes FFI problematic in Go is green threads, which have their own stacks that nothing but Go understands. Thus, every FFI call has to arrange things to be what the callee expects, and you can't do async using goroutines across language boundaries (whereas callback-based solutions like promises work jsut fine).
Correct, among Lisp dialects, Scheme had general lexically scoped functions as first class objects first - 75. Lisp got it later. Scheme was first implemented on top of Maclisp at that time.

Not surprising. We're far away from the glory days of the vibrant, chaotic web.

In countries like India that onboarded most users through smartphones instead of computers, websites are not even necessary. There's a huge dearth of local-focused web content as well since there just isn't enough demand.

Show HN: Hacker News Mods - A collection of tools/mods for HN
Hey HN! I built Hacker News Mods as a place to collect any tools or sites related to HN.

We just started building one mod/tool for HN per week, and I thought it’d be a good idea to showcase all of the tools we’ve created, as well as tools that others have created as well. The site is pretty scrappy, so any feedback is appreciated!

Also, please submit any projects that we don’t already have listed!

Thanks,

I do not think so in my opinion, since Omega 3 and Omega 6 compete for the same enzymes.

Hard Work for My Kid, Not for Yours
Machine learning is not about getting insight into what intelligence is (it might do so as a byproduct but very few people are using it with that goal in mind).

However, ML is useful to generalist science as long as you are be aware of its shortcomings and not just trying to replace something with ML without thinking about it.

To give you an example I worked on (to be published): I worked with some physicists that use an incredibly slow and expensive iterative solver to get information on particules. We introduced a machine learning algorithm that predicts the end result. It does not replace the solver (you could not trust its results, contrary to a physics based numerical algorithm) but, using its guess as a starting point for the iterative solver, you can make the overall solving process orders of magnitude faster.

Replying to "How do you do?" by parroting it doesn't sound classic to me. It sounds strange.

Do you actually mean literally repeating "how do you do?" as a reply or do you actually mean something like "good and you?"

NCAA doesn't say that playing darts when you're 67 disqualifies you from college bowl wins at 20. That is, however, how the Olympic rules were read. Collecting any money from any competitive sport at any time disqualified all earlier or later achievements.

Oh, actually, it would also be all player's who's coaches were paid (because that also wasn't allowed) so I guess every NCAA player would be disqualified?

A significant recognition of eBPF's potential.

This is a followup of an earlier paper at HostOS 21 (https://sigops.org/s/conferences/hotos/2021/#program), by the same research group. Previous discussion on the earlier paper: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26601841

Prior to this work, eBPF is mostly used for networking and kernel tracing.

Networking has a very rigid framework, and eBPF is mainly doing things that can be done in old techs (DPDK etc), but is supposedly better. But that might be always clear-cut superiority, a recent discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31982026 shows the claimed superiority of DPDK comes with a lot of caveats.

Kernel tracing with eBPF is mainly for observability purpose. It's very useful. But has not been able to bring business value directly to software users.

Now with XRP, eBPF offered, for the first time, unprecedented and novel capability for accelerating IOs circumvent the existing Kernel + userspace separation.

I am very keen on the development of this area.
I imagine it would be interesting to learn about and get to know some of the tribal people.

Boring

You have the problem of assuming that the studies in which you put all of your faith are even asking the right questions. The reality is that they are not interested in asking the right questions, they are interested in the approved questions.

If you want to adhere to the Thought Police guidelines be my guest.

Doctors' opinions. The opinions of professional, working doctors.

We have to agree to disagree on what constitutes a valid piece of evidence.

What we don't have to agree on is whether children are at risk, because they aren't, categorically.

Any monies toward protecting children would be better directed in any number different ways, the ways that actually prevent children's deaths

> but a side-effect of that has been fragmentation of culture.

Is it a bad thing though?

In old times, the culture was harmonized, but this was through whatever those who controlled the centralized means of distribution wanted people to hear and see.

> That means that pop culture has had to increasingly pander to the lowest common denominator and get a lot worse

Totally disagree. First, the pop culture was always like that. In every age you find intellectuals and sensitive people complaining about how bad the mainstream culture has become. For example I don't see today's pop culture any worse than the 1980s, in which being selfish, material, hedonistic was being pushed and praised by entire media & music and that was something 'okay'.

But today we also have many subcultures. The people who couldnt get together, leave aside do anything together in the past, are now able to find each other and create collectives and live their lives how they want to. Not only in terms of culture and consumption of content actually - there are people who create different lifestyles.

> On user-generated content, I also think things have been getting a lot worse since the 2000s. What you refer to as the small forums on the fringes of the internet used to be its motor.

I think such belief is fueled more by nostalgia and also the lack of awareness of the people about the communities outside the few ones in which they participated back in 2000s.

Because even then, going to the 'wrong' forum would put you into an environmen totally different, even hostile, with 'quality' content being nonexistent.

The rest was the same - corporations have been doing the same things in the past too. Except, today you can eventually know which influencer is totally sold out and you can choose who to follow. And this is without talking about directly fan-funded creators like the ones who use Patreon - making $100k/month or more with the subscriptions of their fans and without needing to kowtow to anyone on the planet but their own fans.

> There was more connection and more humanity, and 'corporations' had far, far less power than today.

Only in your personal life, close social circle and family. Otherwise, corporate world and its standards were the defaults for entire society - from workplace to the economy, news and everything else.

> What is the vision or the bright future that we go to from here?

Big complicated topic. It depends on the reaction of the establishment and the existing order to the changes I described in my earlier post. I'd rather not enter such a large topic here.
You could also do this easily on that $60 laptop or any chromebook just by running an editor full-screen in kiosk mode. For some reason, this obvious answer is not preferred by anyone pursuing this bizarre line of thought.

Statistics are the backbone of many natural sciences.

It is also valid to make scientific progress just inside of a field and not in the grand scheme of things.
'Soft White Underbelly' shines a light on difficult realities of humanity
Whew, this comment has a lot to unpack. Big Tech using "we're the best defense against scary scary China" is ridiculous, because at the end of the day, Big Tech is happy to play ball with China when it gives them money. (Even Google tried to go back until it became politically problematic, Microsoft and Apple both do business there.) And Big Tech copies all of the behavior we are afraid of from China: Endless surveillance, punishment with no chance of appeal, etc.

I would encourage anyone who has ever tried the "but China" defense for Big Tech to go back to the drawing board, and come up with something that isn't out of the Trumpist playbook.

Second: Europe has access to a robust collection of open source solutions that are also used by many of those same companies. You can absolutely create a managed experience working around the already tried-and-true Linux platform, and Windows is, of course, still perfectly serviceable if appropriately neutered by policy and a quality enterprise-class firewall.

Europe should absolutely be applauded for keeping their citizen's data increasingly in-house, particularly because we in the US have repeatedly failed to put Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg in the prison cells they so desperately belong in.

I think OP is saying they would have had the space to simply built one large mirror instead of many different mirror segments that require complicated motors and moving parts to deploy into position.

The mirror segment deployment technology is surely a significant percentage of the cost.
Yes we did. But the rewrite was not because of this issue.

> somehow they must be EOLd after only 5 years?

I have a Chromebook that was released in 2019 and will get updates until 2027, so there's definitely not a rule that they can only get updates for 5 years.

This has nothing to do with Musk. A larger payload fairing diameter means fewer/no elements of the mirror have to be folded up for launch, means reducing or completely avoiding the multi-hundred step deployment procedure, the design of which was both an enormous engineering undertaking and most of the over 300 single-points-of-failure[0] in the final design. It doesn't have to be the SpaceX Starship, but there's no other launch vehicle currently in development with a comparable payload diameter. Since it's a purely hypothetical as the entire design process took place with launching on Ariane 5 in mind, I have no idea what the cost savings would be, but it is self-evident they would be considerable. The thing isn't made of $8B worth of metal, the cost was in engineering it.

I don't find it insightful because for me tasks that are ToDo are not like sine waves.

I am also not a person that gets annoyed by cleaning dishes or brushing teeth. I just do these things and I accepted that these are time costs that I cannot do much about.

Not brushing teeth - getting even single infection from rotting tooth would cost me much more in terms of wasted time than brushing twice a day.

Just like trying to cut on sleep time, you might get away for 3-5 days sleeping less but then you will have to pay it back with interest.

I think it is mostly difference in approach "unrealistic" trying to schedule and squeeze in as much as possible - vs - I have bunch of stuff to do, let's see how much I will be able to finish and anything that drops goes to the next day or ends up never done because if I did not do it and no one complained (even myself) it probably was not that important at all.
Except that it's a part time job without benefits, you can't hold it full time by definition. It's like being a ski bum for 3-4 months.

Unless you've had experience with physical paste-ups, it's hard to appreciate.

In vi/vim, the concept of seting marks then moving copy (especially with a split in the buffer so that the original / destination locations are both visible) comes reasonably close. It at least avoids that intermittent disappearance onto the clipboard / paste buffer.

JCOF is just not radical enough.

It should stop pretending to remain human-readable, go binary, and become a variant of protocol buffers, thrift, etc.

BTW being schemaless is a boon during initial hacking things together, and an impediment when operating and developing the system further down the line. It's the data equivalent of dynamic typing vs static typing, interpreted vs compiled in code.

One question I love to know the answer to is why we only built one, or how hard would it be for us to build more now? Would a second one have cost 5%, 10%, 20% more? Surely it wouldn't be near 100% as all of the research and testing scales.

You can contact your bank (by the online chat app is best, because you have a written record) and tell them you do not wish for debits to be honored that will result in you becoming overdrawn. Many banks have a policy of honoring the debit for small amounts as a 'courtesy' to you and then charging you a fee, ostensibly to spare the customer the social embarrassment of having a transaction rejected.

Banning Workspace isn't super clear. But Google Workspace is what they used to call G Suite and Google Apps and maybe one more name.

That includes the sign on to the computer and the device management to enforce limitations, it includes Google Docs, it includes Google Drive which is where persistent data is typically stored for a Chromebook.

If you elect not to use Workspace, there's no way to control and monitor the use of the devices. If the users login to the devices, they'd need to use a Google account, which presents the same data storage issues, so everyone would need to use the devices as a guest; but I'd bet guest use also results in unrestricted telemetry being sent to Google; and again, there's no way for the school system to manage the devices (which could enforce telemetry settings, perhaps) with users logged in as guests.

On the other hand, a windows Active Directory based system might run with servers hosted by Microsoft in Azure (and probably subject to similar concerns about data access by US governments), or it can be done with servers hosted onsite by the school system, or it can be outsourced to a provider within the country or economic area.

Apple computers are frankly unsuitable for this market; device management is poor. Open source operating systems could be setup however you like. Someone could setup a ChromeOS fork where the server hooks didn't need to go to Google, but I haven't seen it if it's been done. ChromeOS devices can usually run other OSes (if the other OSes support the critical hardware and the device can be convinced to boot in a method condusive to the other OS), but it might be labor intensive to setup at a school system wide level. You'd also need to come up with a different choice for productivity apllications as I don't think Google Docs would be easy to get working without Google.
