Well to quote user mensetmanusman: "Per thermodynamic axioms, incompleteness is implied by the arrow of time and information atrophy. This would imply an unknowable beginning."

I think 'never' should be understood in this way—either there's something wrong or fundamentally incomplete about our theories, or we can not know certain things. Barring groundbreaking advancements in understanding akin to quantum physics and relativity theory, physics tells us so. Since the papers discussed do not establish such a new and testable theory but still go and discuss things current science cannot access, they cannot taken to be science. Doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong or uninteresting. I don't think she excludes the possibility that a groundbreaking discovery could be made that changes that. But the papers were not written in a time that knows of such a discovery.

> The United Kingdom has the second-largest LNG regasification capacity in Europe (4.7 Bcf/d), and it can export up to 2.5 Bcf/d of natural gas to the European Union via the Interconnector pipeline into Belgium and the BBL pipeline into the Netherlands. Regasified LNG volumes in the United Kingdom averaged 2.9 Bcf/d from January through May 2022, and regasification facilities ran at a 63% utilization rate, up from 30% last year. Exports from the United Kingdom via interconnecting pipelines to the European Union have run at close to maximum rates since March 2022.

I would assume because of this.
Faith is believing without objective evidence. Yet if there is evidence of a possibility then there is no faith involved.
They delayed the cutover multiple times. They gave people 3 months free. They gave people a year at 1/2 off. And finally they gave anyone who declared themselves as personal/family use only back the free option, even after having migrated to a billed option.

I'm surprised Widevine DRM allows this but I guess you can't really detect "I'm in a VM and being streamed visually by the host".

The fall of Ukraine will mean the beginning of the new Soviet Union (but even _more_ evil), and most probably a world war, so it should be prevented at all costs possible. Not event to mention that the invasion is plainly evil, and should be repealed.
>> - is it desirable for science be beneficial to people?
> No. This is like asking whether language is beneficial…

I don’t think you really answered my question. The question is just whether we want science to be beneficial, before any questions about how or whether that could be achieved.
Not really worth it.

A ballpark calculation - ignoring any infrastructure and time for charging/offloading, assuming you get the batteries and the electricity for free, using Tesla batteries as an example, a MWh of them would weigh more than 6 tons; so freight truck can carry at most 2-3 MWh worth of batteries (density is likely to be an issue) and the sale price of that truck full of electricity even at the current outrageous prices is just 1000 eur, perhaps 2000 if you drive all the way across Europe. Shipping cargo on such trucks costs something like 1.5 eur/km nowadays (we don't have cheap self-driving electric trucks yet..) so if you'd have to drive more than a few hundred km (and you have to drive the batteries back!), you'd be better off using these trucks to ship something else than electricity.
I've never been clear on how much Intel couldn't make cooler chips, and how much they just can't admit to themselves that it matters (and thus didn't try very hard).
is it fair to call it disfunctional? Are you expecting to compete on price with countries where workers have no rights, no health and safety and live a dog's life?

> Proper religion and science do not disagree.

What makes a proper religion? And can you tell me how it agrees with science?

> I am a person of faith (which is backed by evidence), and my faith pushed us to seek knowledge. The Islamic Golden age is a testament to that fact.

Well for me personally, curiousity pushed me to seek knowledge but each to their own.

My problem is that any religion who believes in an all powerful God quickly runs into logical problems. Here is one quick example and I'd love for you to explain to me where my reasoning went wrong:

1. Assume there is an omnipotent being called God
2. If God is omnipotent then he can create two other omnipotent beings that have the following two goals: 1. destroy the other being 2. protect itself from being destroyed.
3. Clearly both of these created beings cannot both achieve their goals because they cannot both destroy the other and at the same time protect themselves.
4. If these beings cannot do what they were created for then clearly they cannot be omnipotent.
5. If God cannot create such beings then clearly he himself is not omnipotent

Vogue magazine made many women nationaly famous who would've otherwise been known only within a certain social set by dubbing them "it girl" or "girl of the year".

I never said entertainers don't contribute. I explicitly said their products may in fact have a positive impact on people. I just don't agree that that warrants fame. IMO, a lot of people knowing about you or your work is different from the concept of fame as discussed here.
Brace yourselves for people commenting with a lot of confidence in what they're saying, but without actually having read anything about the topic.
Which is exactly how I would expect it to work. Now if producers expect prices to remain high, or for there to be repeated spikes in price, I would expect the $1, $2, $3, and maybe $4 producers to invest in additional production or storage over time to capture additional marketshare and thereby profits. Of course the "over time" part is important since that process can't happen overnight and is constrained by labor and components.

The problem here is that the people who are not part of a criminal investigation are presumed guilty by mere usage of a tool.

Ask HN: How do you balance your life as a knowledge-based worker?
Or more specifically, how do you balane your life as a knowledge based worker when there's so much to learn and so little time to do it all?

I am a physicist who specialised in molecular simulation. To be excellent at my work, I need to have a strong understanding of theory and compututation. For theory, I need to master classical mechanics, statistical physics and have a strong general grasp on advanced mathematics. Computation entails having a good understanding of my tools (unix, various programming languages) and the computational techniques that are used in my field (parallel computing and various algorithms). I've been hammering away at learning these over the last two years in addition to my academic work. I love it! I'm passionate about it and the more I learn the more capable I get.

I don't, however, have much time to do anything else. I enjoy music and art, but I can barely fit things in enough as it is. Even worse, the more I learn the more I realise that there's so much more to learn. I can easily say that I'll pursue my passion for music at a later date, but at this rate I'll only have time for guitar when I'm in my eighties! I'm currently stuck in a cycle where I suddenly have an urge to study, say, jazz guitar. I then pursue it for a week or two before realising that the time I spend studying jazz could be spent studying physics, and that I'm not as good as physics as I want to be. I stop and spend a month or two on just physics... and then I get an urge to study pen and ink drawing.

I see a lot of other users engage in some genuinely awesome hobbies whilst simultaneously being experts in one or more technical fields. Some of you are insanely good at your hobbies, too. How exactly do you manage to develop and maintain your technical skills whilst pursuing something completely unrelated? How do you fit it into your schedule?

Election laws are at the State level. State election law typically has a minor/major party designation which tends to create only two viable parties. It's designed this way and you can talk to your State reps about it.
There's unknowable material real facts that nobody will ever know though.

I read into one a few years ago when I was trying to find when the last American slave died.

The problem is they were considered property so no documentation or birth records were produced. The lack of record keeping made this an impossible question.

The last documented one was in the 1930s but the last civil war veteran died in the 1950s, surely there was some baby of the 1860s that was born into the system that probably survived until at least the Montgomery bus boycott or Brown v. Board.

But this is something I discovered is a factual statement that's impossible to verify and will never be resolved.

What, exactly, are they "doing to silicon"?

They made a chip that's vastly better than anything out there at a given power consumption level. They are not attempting to use this advantage to corner the silicon market; indeed, they are neither licensing the design, nor selling the chips outside their own end-user hardware.

How does any of that say "antitrust" to you?
I'd say so - same as HTML or CSS. It may not be Turing complete but it's a language used for programming computers.
Maybe not pedantically, but it's a language relevant to many programmers. Seems useful to include it. They include other syntaxes such as HTML too.

I'd save this judgment call for when there's node parity between Apple's chips, x86 and even other ARM manufacturers. The fact is that Apple's chips are on smaller nodes than the rest of the competition, because they bought up all of manufacturing on those nodes from TSMC. Performance per watt, power draw, thermals, etc are all functions of node size.
I'm all too aware that nobody cares. But I do and did follow all the examples you cite. So it would be very surprising to me if that was found out and it would indeed be a scandal like those others. That nobody cares after even a small amount of time is depressing but it's a different discussion.
Work on lung exercises for fatigue.

I have had health complications that caused the same problem as long covid seemingly causes; tiny tiny clots wreaking havoc on capillaries. I think it depends on where the viral load landed and grew, but if it was in your lungs, you would maybe need to treat it as if you have chronic bronchitis.

Gas is, well, a gas. The only way to transport it in the absence of pipelines is liquifying it. LNG infrastructure is very hard to build, and right now there's no additional LNG capacity to ship gas to Europe. It takes a while to build.

Your comment is flame. You really don't believe that competence is the only reason solar/wind didn't scale up right? If you remember, those countries were/are almost bunkrupt, since 2010 or so. Where would these massive investments come from? I mean the north didn't even want to move away from Russia, certainly they wouldn't care for funding solar in Greece, Spain or Italy.

The "Green new deal" however is a step in that direction. But IMO its theatrics. EU money to buy green German cars and green German infra with no plan on longevity or strategic change. Truth is, that if EU wanted energy independece, they could have it many years now. Be it nuclear or Mediterranean natural gas (the same gas now Israel is going to sell to EU).

Not that the respective governments are competent. They are not, thats a given. But the "competent" part of Europe is only so in a stupidly myopic level.
Everyone should be willing to change their position often and without shame. Scientists in particular should not be elevated for holding unmovable conclusions about anything. They must be open to evidence proving their theories wrong.

Yes, for a few years we had what was popularly called "Sun tax" in order to disincentivise people from installing solar panels in their homes. It was removed in 2018, though.

Although corruption was probably present, I would say that this kind of politics is precisely what we would expect from pro-business parties (in this case, the People's Party). They do have a long history of eschewing environmental policies as soon as any big company has money to lose because of them.

I've seen a report or two talking about how fertilizer plants are being shutdown or run at reduced capacity across Europe because of gas costs. Electricity is the least of our problems.
There's no single "they" for "solar producers". No matter what the existing producers do, even if they would all illegally collude, the current prices make it attractive for individual households to install solar panels and thus add new solar capacity.
There are also hypotheses stating that the universe has always existed and that the Big Bang was just a phase change.

This blows away all religious arguments trying to plug a creator in there: since the universe was never created, it doesn't need a creator.
This is absurd in several levels - you can't move electricity in a box, there are only a few interconnects, all of them regulatable and controllable, they can only move like 15% of tital supply and prices are different for business and for home use.

This is not an erosion of skills. Since I started in IT around 2008, it has been rare for most people to care about security. Even now, it's hard to get any traction. "We're not a target." I've heard it in more or less words, so many times. I'm burned out on fighting this fight.

The senior staff at that time were often the worst. They didn't want anything to make their job harder, and they didn't see a threat. So if you pushed security hard, you were the enemy.

It's a little better now, but not much.

I'm not sure it has been shown that you can't get it at later infections and anecdotally from friends and family (I know) that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm also not sure if everyone notices changes if they are mild enough. I am fairly sure that a recent cold was COVID (because I infected my wife who lost her sense of taste) and it took me a while to notice my sense of smell is significantly worse. Too early to describe it as long COVID and certainly as annoyances go, this is as mild as it gets (if it is all there is).

One such delightful book is “Building Git” by James Coglan. It builds a complex software from scratch allowing the user to learn by building.

What other books would be similar to the above?
