The US, through NATO, is committed to defending much of Europe and the EU against Russian invasion if they decide to try anything. This war was an opportunity to demonstrate that the price will be too high to for Russia to pay and that they will not be allowed to get away with annexing other European countries, while destroying a large chunk of their military capacity in the process, all without having to actually commit the US military to fighting on the ground like they would if Russia decided to get grabby elsewhere. It is in their direct interests to seize that opportunity.
Interesting.

After Steve Jobs left Apple the first time, Apple became much more like the other hardware companies of the time, including opening up things that they had previously held tightly closed. When Jobs returned, they clamped back down. Now, Jobs has left Apple permanently and Apple is once again opening up.

So here's a question: Is this a good thing, or is it a sign that Apple is returning to the mediocrity of the earlier non-Jobs era? Is Apple losing what made it great?
TPMS sensors are almost completely redundant if you have an ABS/TC module they can passively infer low tire pressure.

TPMS is mandated now, in part thanks to urging by their makers.
I am curious on how did they determine that the people who were studied only drank 1-2 drinks per night. Did they measure alcohol content in blood nightly ?

This is really exciting. Fission tech is largely stuck in with incremental improvements from the 1950s. The last time the NRC got an application for a research reactor was 30 years ago.

The reactor is a graphite-moderated, fluoride salt flowing fluid design. If this works well, fission will have a very bright future as it should be more efficient and much safer to operate than current reactor designs.
But I still don’t know what you mean by “USD falls.” It falls relative to what? All the other currencies? Are you relying on some index of “real price” of oil that’s denominated in something other than USD?

Or are you just saying “if oil gets more expensive”? If so, I don’t really see the relevance of mentioning USD exclusively. Either you’re separating the currency from the commodity or you’re not.
It makes me sad that there's so much focus on image and VFX on Netflix while having a below average story in most cases. There are movies that consist of a person talking on the phone in a room that are more enjoyable than Netflix's feature film of the week like Day Shift.
FWIW we just upgraded to a 98" NEC "commercial display" C981Q and couldn't be happier with it. I looked into the Raspi compute module but we just have a PC and some Crestron gear running it all, Shure ceiling tile mic and a vladdio cam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-Salt_Reactor_Experiment...

but it was believed that some small change in the formula such as adding Niobium could clear the problem up. What's needed to move forward is not a big conceptual breakthrough but rather testing of materials under realistic conditions... A new test reactor.

What is more problematic with the MSRE design is that it incorporates graphite as a moderator and the graphite swells and goes bad over time. Possibly you can take the graphite core out every few years and replace it with a new one, but people have also found designs that don't require a moderator outside the fuel salt.

When I went to the first conference on Thorium Energy years ago David Leblanc had done some very simple calculations that showed you didn't need the graphite -- it works just fine with a faster spectrum. He's refined that idea and is running with it. Others are pursuing chloride salts and plutonium fuel with a very fast spectrum.

The problem with the discussion is, most people here against alcohol sound to me like vegans. I mean, unable to discuss the "I only drink twice a week a beer" argument. To them even touching alcohol makes one a drunk-driver-wife-beater, deserving no less than high tower scorn. Not very helpful for an argument...
A New Swift Parser for SwiftSyntax
Yes, there are several VScode plugins for it. Not sure if they use GPT-3 specifically or one of the slightly smaller versions though.

You may still need to know how to read the fine MB manual to not leave performance on the table (which is what you're trying to solve in the first place).

I don't know how brand-spanking-new motherboards are; I remember that around the time when Intel's 8-9th gen core CPUs were all the rage, they had a ridiculously low number of PCIe lanes, even though some motherboards came with multiple 16x sized PCIe ports. Only one actually had the 16 lanes, the others had at best 4.

You may or may not care about this, but seeing how OP talks about GPUs, he may.
I have no clue about what these professional cameras or industry names for shots mean so I guess this article is not for me.

That "made available to use for free" is "to consume", most probably not "to sell". You should get in touch with each of the companies for which these decks/videos belong and ask for their permission.
I think there was just much less "keeping up with the Jones" mentality then. Sure, people could see houses and cars, but they didn't have a real time feed of everyone's "happy" moments on social media. No one felt bad that they weren't doing x y or z that their "friends" were doing because they never saw it. They had the people they were close with and not some massive cadre of people they've met throughout their entire lifespan that are in their social media feeds. Also, social media rarely portrays someone's real life. It's their highlight reel and the younger generations don't necessarily know that there's a difference I'd think.
Sounds similar to Trine - https://trine.com/ - based in Sweden.
I actually had a reverse experience. I expected it to be butchered and unwatchable but it turned out really nice. Much different from the comic but this made be think that Sandman is not an usual piece of text but a kind of mythology and it suites it to be retold differently. So yea, it was "Netflix'd" but I think its a feature and not a bug. Each storyteller tells the story in their way and this is very in-line with the core idea of Sandman. Besides I am genuinely happy to see people watching it after so many years of being a fan.

We should move towards a model where the availability and interest rate of student loans is based on actual risk as determined from the default rate of previous students who attended the same school with the same declared major. Students will then be able to make informed decisions about which major to select and how much debt to take on.
The 'why' is to get people of all groups talking about it: youths, their friends, their parents, etc. A story doesn't have to be specifically about the audience to get them interested in it. I guess 'worried parents' would read about depressed youths, maybe even see their own insecurities in the stories told. They also likely have good health insurance which would cover the cost of all those brand-name medications listed.
Alcohol killed my dad. It's an absolutely horrific way to die. Your organs shut down one by one over an extremely painful two month period. Family members can do nothing except watch. You can't even donate part of your liver, medial ethics disallow any organ transplants for alcoholics unless you are really rich/powerful/politically connected. As soon as you see them with yellow skin (Jaundice), you know their fate is sealed.

My dad was so good at managing his alcoholism - didn't seem to have any problems with work or dui's, nobody thought they needed to intervene until it was too late. One day he just collapsed at work and was taken to the hospital.

Just yesterday a drunk driver rear ended me while I was stopped at a traffic light in the middle of the day. It was just a light tap on the bumper but the road has a 55 MPh speed limit. What if he hit me going 60? Would I still be alive today?
My background is in web dev too. I've been a contractor, worked for a couple of startups, a marketing agency, and started a digital agency. My experiences working in the midwestern USA have been mostly positive, though I've definitely encountered people whose motives were more selfish and potentially manipulative. I think you will encounter those people in any organization, especially corporate.

I spent five years building a little digital agency, and got to the point with my partner where we were able to hire a few employees. I took a pay cut for it but it was an incredible growth experience. Agencies are fun because they expose you to a lot of different people and business models. And you can choose who you want to work with, at least to some extent. I will say, most of our work came through our close network initially. Networking and building relationships is essential if you decide to go out on your own.

I've learned that even working on boring projects or with more difficult clients can be fulfilling with the right mindset. For me that was a service mindset. Even if it's not the most impactful work, the way I show up for my clients can make an important difference in their lives and in their ability to carry out their mission. It might seem small, like just making their professional life a little more convenient, but the ripple effect can be huge. A little bit of kindness can change someone's day and ripple out into their lives and the lives of the people surrounding them.

I left my company last year and took some time off to experiment with new avenues: building software, physical engineering, writing... I thought I might start something more on the software side but after really digging into my values I realized that what is most meaningful to me is to be a helper. I owe so much of my success to being growth-oriented and I want to help others with what I've learned along the way. I started teaching at a local university and joined a leadership coaching certification program which I've since completed. I do a little bit of software contracting on the side but most of my time now is spent developing content and coaching.

Hopefully sharing my story is helpful. Best of luck to you!

I think it'll just be a retread of the same discussions and talking points as last time. There's never "cooler heads". If there were, you'd see when articles do get recycled and someone posts all of the previous discussions. Or when similar topics get brought up.

This is not the first time that "fake news" has been brought up here. And yet, every time, the same voices can be counted on to make the exact same points despite all evidence saying they are wrong.

There are topics that probably should just be not allowed on HN due to how they bring down the overall level of discourse. But you know that would be the bogeyman of mean ol censorship. But you know, the comment threshold, flagging, shadow-banning, etc are somehow not. If you're going to moderate, moderate.
Is it just me, or are phrases like "3x cheaper" hard for other people to grok too? For some reason they always require me to pause and try to sort it out. Like, is the price being reduced by 66% or 75% or something else? What would "1x cheaper" mean?
I wouldn't believe everything you see on tv. While young men in particular, full of testosterone and out to make their mark on the world, are prone to aggressiveness, when I listen to kids in our community, I talk with teachers, etc, or even just observing kids, bullying isn't anything like a generation or two ago. In my grandparents house hangs a "frat paddle" from the 1920s. You've likely seen movies like "Dazed and Confused." Yes, that kind of hazing was a real thing. There's no way anything like that happens today (at least not in my neighborhood).
Is this free markets in action, subvention by VC money or both?
> "Neverball uses legacy “fixed function” OpenGL."

Sure, it'd work for Neverball, but the article is clear that they're looking for a general solution: something that'd work not just for Neverball, but for all OpenGL applications, and would ideally let them give applications control over the clip-control bit through OpenGL/Vulkan extensions.

> But also you could simply remap the Z coordinate of gl_Position at the end of the vertex stage, do the clipping in [0,1] range, then map it back to [-1,1] for gl_FragCoord at the start of the fragment stage.

Yes, that was the current state-of-the-art before this article was written:

> As Metal uses the 0/1 clip space, implementing OpenGL on Metal requires emulating the -1/1 clip space by inserting extra instructions into the vertex shader to transform the Z coordinate. Although this emulation adds overhead, it works for ANGLE’s open source implementation of OpenGL ES on Metal.

> Like ANGLE, Apple’s OpenGL driver internally translates to Metal. Because Metal uses the 0 to 1 clip space, it should require this emulation code. Curiously, when we disassemble shaders compiled with their OpenGL implementation, we don’t see any such emulation. That means Apple’s GPU must support -1/1 clip spaces in addition to Metal’s preferred 0/1. The problem is figuring out how to use this other clip space.
Netflix and HBO live in different universes when it comes to production quality. HBO / Warner can get a far better result from far less money.

They brought it on themselves. They chose the name OpenAI. It was a terrible choice on their part, and the repeated criticism is a direct result of that choice.

AFAICT materials research is a big part of it. At 800°C even water is pretty reactive; the salt is much more so. Even though an MSR does not need the high pressure of water-based reactors, you can't make all the piping from graphite or platinum.
Based on the downvotes I'm getting, it would appear a bunch of people agree with you, but I promise it is not. I genuinely want to understand why we consider this an unbreakable limit when we have in the past broken previously thought "unbreakable" limits.

I worked at Novell in the late 80s, early 90s. In the LAN world, IPX/SPX worked pretty well but it was certainly steamrolled by TCP/IP.

Since I started out in the testing department, I not only had to deal with a bunch of protocols (IPX, NetBios, etc.) but I also had to deal with a bunch of stuff at the physical layer. Instead of everything being Ethernet, we had Token-ring and ArcNet cables running everywhere.
One of those safety improvements -- a freeze plug -- passively halts the reaction in the event of a power cut. The reactor sits on top of a vault that has a larger volume separated by a narrow tube containing molten salt that has been frozen into a plug by cryocoolers powered by the turbines themselves. If the pumps stop for any reason, then the plug quickly melts and the molten fluid from the reactor drains into the larger vault via gravity at which point it cools and freezes into a solid.
Would love to see what HN thinks about this. I recently picked up a book called Anti-Diet on this subject, at the suggestion of my physician, and I don't know what I think yet. It seems almost dangerous, yet the arguments are very intuitive and apparently backed by overwhelming evidence.

Specifically, that weight loss in the long term is not only practically impossible but also actively harmful.

But what if I want to be more muscular? Is that impossible as well? Not sure.
I also get aggravated by the usage of 'late stage capitalism'. I very much prefer 'end stage capitalism' or 'terminal capitalism'.

This is what gets me about alcohol: You can completely avoid drinking it, and yet it causes more harm to others than it does to users.

The negative cost of alcohol use on those who don't even drink it is a real issue that should be more commonly talked about and addressed.

I usually read that as "new price = old price / X" where X = "3" in this scenario. In my head, "1x cheaper" would mean "new price = old price / 1", so no reduction, I guess.

That's all well and good, but the specific request was for marketers to stop emailing, by way of GitHub, him and other developers using Gmail because Gmail has a bug that Google seemingly has no interest in fixing.

Per the de facto weak car analogy, this is like asking the guy on the sidewalk flipping a business sign around in a creative fashion to go back inside because his Ford has known issue with the breaks, with no present fix, that may cause him to intersect with the guy on the sidewalk.

Perhaps the law should take sidewalk sign flippers off the street. Perhaps one should take the sign flipper to small claims court should they crash into him when the breaks do fail. But that's beyond the topic at hand.
Nah, in 1984 they knew that nobody is watching most people most of the time, because there's simply not enough people to do it.

I know what you mean. 1x cheaper would be same price. 3x cheaper means “the new price times 3 equals the old price.” However this is easier than percents or fractions. 100% cheaper means free. Do you want something 67% cheaper, 2/3s cheaper or 3x cheaper?
