I am an old mining guy. Back in the late 1800's, after dynamite tamed nitroglycerine and made deep hard rock tunneling doable, the age of the deep mine emerged. You may have seen pix of the head frame - a triangular structure ~~ 100 feet high that was built about 1 or 2 deep shafts. At the high point were cable sheaves on large wheels(cable can not be bent like rope = it has a minimum radius = large wheels). These shafts were often 1000-2000 feet deep. Due to the weakness of steel cables of the era the sheaves often held 8 or more parallel cables. This was mandated by the maximum free hanging length - at which it broke by it's own weight = to carry large loads = parallel load sharing needed. (this is also why we do not yet have the theoretically possible 'sky-hooks' to synchronous orbits so popular in science fiction.
Often these shafts would carry 20 tonnes or more.
This was before safety brakes(self acting) and if the cable broke = 20 tonnes went down fast. These were usually dual shafts, 1 car went down as one went up in counterpoise. They had 2000-5000 HP geared motors and the loads were unbalanced - usually workers went down in an inline car above the empty load skip and the up coming skip with load often carried no people, as they worked 8 hour shifts.
I read about one of these accidents here:- https://www.sudburyminingsolutions.com/news/looking-back-to-...

Since then they have implemented fail-safe locks. The old spring 'dogs' failed as the dogs became fiber/rock choked.

Now to cars. We have huge numbers of road deaths - all involving a few people, but collectively far more than mine accidents = a few a year in USA/Canada.
So these distributed tragedies do not engender the response that the few mine accidents do? We know brakes, crumple zones, seat belts, air bags etc all work well to mitigate deaths - but not prevent it.

Can we ever reach a fail-safe car that refuses to allow itself to be driven in a way that kills a person? We have heard of the Tesla/GM/Mercedes approaches to this - and we have seen the fails.
I tend to think we can only reach this with a self driven car/truck that drives on roads that allow only self driven cars/trucks to drive on them. Leave the smaller roads to human drivers, add speed radar, red light/stop sign detectors - all with car smarts that will not speed, will not run a red light and will not allow unlicensed drivers at all access? It will turn the current system on it's head - but it will work. Will people accept it?
If all these cars are a centrally controlled and locally dispatched resource that supplements public transit I think it will work - might take 100 years of electric car evolution, but it will come.
Pretty meaningless without location.
I recently pared back my own layout to something similar, and it's been surprisingly comfortable. I had learned to type on a split board for the first time a few months ago, and going from a more "full" split layout to something where you've essentially shoved all non-alpha inputs down into other layers was actually surprisingly intuitive.

I'm still memorizing some inputs; ones that require holding a layer key, then holding a homerow mod on one hand, and finally hitting the intended character key are proving especially tricky.

(eg: hold thumb key to switch to symbol layer, hold down homerow mod for shift, press desired symbol for shifted version -- poor example, but all the same.)

More folks should give this sort of thing a try! Provided you're not also re-learning the alpha-key locations at the same time, it's really not so bad a transition. A day or two architecting your layout, a few days tweaking with use, some dedicated practice, and normal use from there on out should get one comfortable. :)
Great question! Theranos was designing its own testing machines. Be Golden is using existing validated testing methods.
I literally did mention that as one notable exception?
If you ran a movie rental shop using consumer copies of movies you bought from HMV or Target or whoever, you'd've been sued if the rights holders found out. Rental copies that came with a licence that permits renting cost several times what it cost to buy a consumer copy. And of course, when you sign a deal to get said rental copies, you probably have to agree to a bunch of conditions that probably include not doing exactly what they did.
I work in Finance in the US, and I think our industry has a good model to build on. The SEC requires a decent amount of information for all sorts of investments and financial entities to publish at various times - everything from IPOs to management changes.

I'm not sure if the FDA/CDC/NIH/etc has anything like this, but they should probably start requiring it and/or providing it.

I think this would go a long way to solving this problem.

WebMD is "awful" because a list of every medical condition with every possible treatment and every possible symptom is totally useless to normal people. When people visit WebMD what they really want is actual, personal medical advice.

The solution isn't throwing technology at it to do "automated evidence synthesis," it's making it easier and more affordable for people to talk to get a consultation with an actual medical professional.
As pointed out in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32649569 , this is probably HN autoremoving numbers from the start of titles to combat blog spam titles like "12 reasons to switch to XYZ".
Why does your beloved apple still sell Intel based systems if this is like a "gasoline engine"?

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-pro

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-mini

Maybe not everyone wants/needs to be locked into the apple Ecosystem?

PS. Electric cars are the past as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_electric_vehicl...
You're right, I mis-typed -- it's meantone, not just intonation. Someone elsewhere on this HN thread argues that's the tuning Mozart himself would've been using for that piece, which is bizarre to think about once you hear it on Youtube like that!

This is truly a fascinating world. People who argue that we should be using the original temperaments that composers used do have an argument. Imagine, for example, if Shakespeare were "tuned" to be in modern UK English rather than the English of its time.
A much better WebMD would like like Wikipedia.

Hint: it’s Wikipedia.
You're laughing but this will probably happen, together with large scale automation. Labor costs are still a significant portion of costs [0, see "Labor Cost Share of Total Gross Revenues"].

Interesting approach, thanks for the good reads. Would love to support, no strings attached, if you see an opportunity. Reached out on LI, feel free to dump the request if this feels off to you.
WebMD is for the general public (GP) and useless on anything you need in depth - helpful for broad inquiry. UpToDate which practitioners use is amazing but too much information for the general public.

It's part of what I mentioned in another comment which is that the internet is to general and vague in its information (and generally low-mid quality) while private information is, sometimes, of higher quality. It leads people who want to learn more about things in a bind where they are limited by the accessibility to good quality information.

Also you don't want the GP to have access to uptodate because they would self diagnose in so many of the wrong ways and wouldn't understand everything.
Some of the approaches used for counting such deaths should be considered quite suspect.

Take Toronto, the most populous city in Canada, and one of the most populous in North America, for example.

This is how Toronto's public health unit described its methodology:

"Individuals who have died with COVID-19, but not as a result of COVID-19 are included in the case counts for COVID-19 deaths in Toronto."

https://twitter.com/TOPublicHealth/status/127588839006028596...

That results in a death count that's effectively useless, and could even be seen as misleading.
Do compiled programs run on an unexpanded or only slightly expanded stock A500/A2000? I.e. 68000 CPU with 512k or 1M of memory?

All the development environments I have seen for Amigas so far required a 68040 CPU and 8Mb of memory... both for development and for the final executables.

I'm still looking for something like the original AmigaBASIC for OS 1.x or 2.x that can run on an unexpanded A500
If we were more powerful than nature we'd be able to prevent climate change. We aren't hence the reason we're stuck with the mess.

But do you also say as much for smog? It's just weather? It's a very visible instance of us affecting, at least at a local level, the environment.
This makes me want to see a collection of all the graphs that have weird discontinuities from pandemic changes. e.g. car journeys.
Have you not updated? Brave's crypto nonsense is super aggressive nowadays with a wallet builtin, decentralized domain resolving, ads for crypto exchanges on the start page, paid crypto background images and their own currency BAT.

The browser is getting more bloated by the year, they've added some Brave News service now and integrated their paid VPN with their browser instead of making it a separate product like Mozilla VPN

And obviously they started using affiliate marketing, parasite behaviour.
I'm having flashes of the episode where he spent 20 minutes being obstinate and then crushed about the idea that hot sauna air wasnt going to magically protect him from or cure COVID. It was hard to listen to.
In my experience, long running Python was even worse than long running Java for memory leaks. It often wasn't so much a memory "leak" in the logical sense. It was the the process size "bloating" from tons of mallocs and frees, leading to heap fragmentation (may not be exactly the right term.) This was many years ago.
Build Your Product with Customer Feedback
This is my first article:) I wrote about "How do you build a product with together your customers?" I hope it will be useful for you...
> Why can't I see the percent of people who experience a particular side effect?

Is that a US thing? Because I’m looking at the small-print paper thingie that came (has to come) with a moderately dramatic prescription drug, and it has:

“Side effects:

very frequent ( ≥ 10%): ...

frequent ( ≥ 1% and < 10%): ...

infrequent ( ≥ 0.1% and < 1%): ...

rare ( ≥ 0.01% and < 0.1%): ...

very rare ( < 0.01%): ...

The following side effects were observed after this drug was released to market. The incidence rate is considered to be unknown, as it cannot be estimated from the available data.

...”

(This seems especially weird because I expect most of the data to have come from FDA submissions.)
"Well". It should be "How to SEO well".
Keep in mind that, although this is a cool concept; in practice everything needs an installer. (IE, a .msi file or a Setup.exe for Windows, a .dmg or a .pkg for Mac, and whatever Linux requires.)

And, if you're shipping into an app store, there's really no point in using something like this.
Fair enough. Per the article, the internet is good at decentralized. National framework + municipal or regional gov based carriers… sounds perfect.
I've always been of the opinion that 36 is too few, but this does a good job of converting me. I already do similar stuff with layers ie: one layer for a right hand numpad, another for home row arrows and some common programmer symbols.

One of these days I'll try out something other than QWERTY.

Fairly sure AMD has already indicated that an "extra cache" model(s?) of Zen 4 consumer chips will appear down the road.
Unpopular opinion(?): online medical information should be inaccessible to the common person. It should be journal papers full of jargon, behind paywalls, and otherwise restricted. Laymen can't handle medical information. They use it to self-diagnose, or worse, diagnose others. They use it to question doctors because the doctor's advice doesn't match their Google-fu. Ridiculous sites like WebMD make it worse. WebMD will tell you that you have cancer no matter what you search. I sympathize with those in the health care system who are too busy, and those who are waiting for care. But giving the public a bunch of misinformation with which to shoot their feet seems like the wrong approach. (Anecdotal: I live with a Google warrior who distrusts all doctors because they think their understanding of medicine is superior.)
I wonder if OP considered any alternatives to a manicured monocultured lawn?
In the first generation the 1600X was a 95w TDP part, with the 1600 being 65w. They shuffle around where the lines are, the numbers aren't always 1:1.

They listed Zen 4 at 65w TDP being 74% more efficient than Zen 3 in their slides, which implies they do want to sell a part at that spec at some point.

If your concern is purely noise/heat and so on, and not budget, then you can just buy one of these chips and apply restrictions to it, given modern chips auto-scale performance. Can feel like a waste, of course, but should result in a very efficient setup.
I was wondering if they meant a map of topics and recent edits. E.g. recent edits of US politicians' pages. I came, I saw the slow updates, and I didn't even stay long enough to see that those entries disappear.

Trivia: Just before Sarah Palin was named John McCain's running mate, there were plenty of edits to her Wikipedia page...
It says Windows, but is it x86 or x64?

Can it make a binary that's both x86 and x64 for Windows? Is that even possible?
And deservedly so, since it’s just marketing fluff. Like how having 7 foo in your bar suddenly became “over 7 foo”. Take the difficult upgrade history with zen 3 and older boards, add the roadmap with Zen 5 in 2024, and what this estimate says is they’re planning on AM5 for Zen 4 and 5.
It's interesting you name two trans women who have said how much they enjoy beating the shit out of cisgender women. In Fallon's case, she boasted about fracturing an opponent's skull.
Two viable possibilities:

1. It's about the money, because you never know when you may have a 5-10 year underproductive period due to health/other unforeseen emergency.

2. It's not about the money, it's about the experience/knowledge gained/distraction/self-worth of accomplishing more.
Actually the people with this sort of condition tend to have a sense for what foods may be causing them trouble. So they're already thinking "hmm...did I eat onion" earlier?? Automating this process they're already going through seems reasonable. Obviously this requires that the questions are tailored -- it wouldn't make sense to ask about a randomly selected food from the gamut of all foods.
Even John Carmack - an ultimate prototype for a nerd - has evolved into a CTO (and from the linked Fridman interview he sounds like a really good one). What is it about tinkerers being put into these positions as a natural progression?

It always seemed to me that people with more of a managerial background would be better managers - is software/system development the only field where masters of their craft ultimately become directors?

Its not like adtech is inherently evil work...but as @atemerev noted, the industry makes one feel like you *have* to do shady things to achieve goals, do your work, etc. II'm sure there are good, honest people in the induystry. But in essence its basic manipulation...so many people (myself included) have issues working in such an environment, at least for the most part.
Isn’t every guest though…really?
The principle of caution cuts both ways. During the pandemic, it seems to have only cut one way.

It is possible to support lockdowns while still recognizing this.
Great point - our pricing is a function of the added costs of packaging, shipping, etc. We believe at home testing will offer consumers more convenience than going into the doctors office. However, if we learn that in person testing is preferred, we would definitely explore that as an offering!
> Can't tell from your comment - do you think that is higher-density or lower-density compared to where you are now?

Ah. I live in California, population density 254 per mi², so about a third. California is also 2 times smaller than Pakistan - since a lot of California is inhabitable (contrast with Pakistan) and the surrounding areas easily accessible, it translates to a lot of "breathing room", even if you live in a densely populated county like San Francisco or Los Angeles.

> That is high compared to the USA as a whole, but 742/sq mile is low compared to ~50 other countries.

Better than a history, at least.
If Firefox even deprecates WebRequest, LibreWolf will probably announce their intention to patch it back in and people will switch en masse.
So they were just accidentally correct?
“The West” (US mostly) is worried China will _compete_ on the global market. Which is currently owned by the West.
Not yet but we hope to expand globally in the future!
Yeah, you cant do that in Go, even explicitly:

// cannot convert i (variable of type int) to type bool
bool(i)

youd need to use a function:

func to_bool(i int) bool { return i != 0 }
That's some great work and a really good write-up.

I could see practical uses well beyond a lawn mower. This would be very handy in really hot or cold weather with just about any large tractor that is not enclosed and does not have air conditioning or heating. No more breathing exhaust and no more being exposed to the weather. For large farm equipment one would still need a person near by in the event things get tangled up in the equipment such as barbed wire snagged up into discs but that is an acceptable trade-off to me.

As a bonus, no more being locked into newer tractors. If I could put this remote control on my 1947 Fordson tractor it would now be put to work with automation and for fun the neighbors would think it's a ghost tractor. Probably the tricky part is dealing with the stiff clutch and finicky gear shifting. I imagine it would get some looks from the tourists passing by on the highway.

Not very practical to do every day.
Cool! A couple suggestions:

1 - the CSS is all over the place on mobile, it looks pretty bad.

2 - maybe adjust the pricing of the bulk a bit. I assume you want to sell the bulk packs more, so incentivize them more.

Instead of $74 for 1 / $69 for 2, make it like $79 for 1 and $64 for 2, and make sure you say that’s “saving $30”. Right now it feels like it’s only $5 off which doesn’t convince me (yes I know it’s $10 actually).
You can already make fake road signs and trick human drivers.
We had data from December 2019 until April 2020 showing that it spread quickly and can kill you.

We also had data that strong action can stop an outbreak (i.e. Aviation flu, Swine Flu, Ebola, etc). Sure when we took those actions early enough to curtail the outbreak it leads to people thinking the actions were useless (see Y2K debate) but it doesn't actually mean the actions were useless. People only notice when the dam collapses, not when it doesn't.
When this says 3-dimensional, does it really mean 4-dimensional?

Or am I just not smart enough to understand this?
Or that I heard while working as an engineer at Apple for 10 years.

I've noticed that my C Reactive Protein were always high when I was taking creatine and doing strength training and wasn't sure which was the culprit. Likely both. Is there a way to account or correct for high hsCRP related to exercise or is the recommendation to do less intense exercise?
Because StackOverflow successfully (for some value of success) transitioned the forum model to the modern web.

We had these "really good sources of information" - we had forums dedicated to almost any topic you could want to know about, and people educated in the area would frequent them.

They've almost all died out - some remain as a mostly static reference (which is incredibly useful!), others continue to plod along. A few subreddits pop up now and then, but it's not really the same thing (subreddits are even more prone to "flooding" from outside "contributors" who end up turning it into a meme-reddit).

If a company is tangentially related to a topic, you can do worse than dedicating a few full-time employees to a forum on that topic. We're posting on one right now!

The easiest method to discredit divination is that if it were real in any context, that context can be described, a procedure can be drawn, and we can make tools to do it. "Science" is the method of figuring and describing. Diviners scoff, but cards did not always exist for divination, that is a modern creation. So why not an app?

It's harder to get people to switch browsers nowadays. When Chrome first came out as a breath of fresh air (IE was IE, Firefox was better but a bit "heavy", Opera was... Opera), normal users would just nod and agree if you recommended a switch, and even as a power user, I only had to migrate a handful of extensions and behaviors over. At this point, browsers (particularly Chrome and Safari on their respective platforms) have ingrained themselves into their users daily routine. Things like bookmarks and some habits transfer pretty quickly, but casual users won't care enough about this (until they're impacted more).
