Astronomers forced to rethink early Webb telescope findings
Hi. Please note I didn’t address mandatory schooling or any of the issues downstream from that. The parent raised a point about defaulting to three-square meals a day for all children which was an extension or addition to existing school lunch programs. Please re-read what I said with that context in mind if you want to have a productive conversation. I’m also fine just leaving it at that.

Children will always suffer the consequences of their parents including the choice to have them; and the choice to have children (or not), like pretty much all human actions is an economic one. Sometimes a poorly thought out economic choice, and sometimes not really thought through. Right now it is expensive to have children, and a large part of that expense is just food and shelter. Parents that can’t provide that tend to have their children taken away by the State, and the children have no say in that. Does that suck? Yes it does, I have been in my State’s foster care system, and I got out of it lightly when my mother figured out how to take some responsibility. This does not mean it is the public’s duty to insure against all the poor life choices people may make including having children they ultimately cannot afford. I’m basically okay with school lunch systems, because of the mandatory schooling requirement, but remember, what I addressed was an extension of that.
It’s not clear what the gain is here. Is this the beginning of the end? A bad purchase for Salesforce?
Hey surrTurr,

shuttle is on AWS under the hood although we make the process much easier for people (not having to deal with the console and other its and bits). There is (almost) no runtime penalty in using shuttle, vs deploying this yourself.

Other than that, we've got GH actions you can use, you get GitOps for free, you don't have to write Containerfiles and we have a centralised build system which will reduce build time by hitting the cache!

Lmk if you have any other questions :)
Also, from the submission URL, second paragraph:

It does push the problem up, but it does let us factor out a lot of complex particle physics which are not needed to run the simulation.

Remember in this case the simulation is not running a model of physical reality - it’s only running a neural net that is fed into your senses.

In that case there are no ‘atoms’ it’s just a concept fed into your mind. Just like in dream it’s hard to question reality, you just go along with it.
> while disagreeing on whether the current money is promoting that goal or being wasted.

Well, that's the entire universe of public spending.

In a properly socialized society, there's a shared understanding that some goods are going to be paid for collectively. We might not all agree that they're all "goods", for example vegan parents might object to paying for some other kid's meatburger; but perhaps they should set up their own vegan school, if they can find enough good vegan teachers.

So there's waste in public expenditure. A lot of that waste occurs in private expenditure too; bear in mid that most UK schools contract-out the provision of meals. If those schools are wasting food, that's private waste. Some of the waste will be corruption; so some proportion of the cost of a public expenditure programme has to be audit and monitoring.

In general, in the UK, public money is handled pretty carefully. I suspect that in the USA, it's handled even more carefully; there seems to be a long-standing view that public expentiture is identical with waste, and should be stopped.

I wonder how they picked the name, probably drawing random words from a bucket. We've gone from solidly exact names to vaguely descriptive ones, then to completely unrelated and now apparently to actively misleading.
I'm aware it's not impossible to exploit the current plug-in free browsers we have now. It's still objectively better than before.

Not that I'm satisfied with the current state of browsers mind you. I just think not being forced to install someone's binary blob to look at web content is a net benefit.
Super viable. I'm aware of several companies using the LGPL license for their closed source desktop applications, including my own. Don't let the other replies scare you. No one will call and threaten you and you don't need a lawyer. For cross platform native desktop applications, Qt is far and away the best option. QtCreator is pretty awesome too.
Do you ever wonder if you should include a third-party library in your code or not? Sometimes it’s worth it, but mostly it’s not. Here’s a quick way to tell: …
You can view this data online and it is normally the schools that take the majority of the budget, and they still don't have enough money either. I have no idea where they live but it is possible their police are in need of donations, unlike perhaps LAPD/NYPD.
Ask HN: How to Fairly Share Equity?
I'm a freelancer and started to develop a prototype in my spare time which already caused a lot of time and energy. As everyone I think it also has a nice market fit and with some work I should be able to develop a full product and find a few customers. Though, I am not a sales guy and I think someone with sales expertise would definitely help to push it forward. Hence, I got in touch with another small company and they suggested that I (including the prototype) join their company as CTO. The company offers consulting in the same area and consists mainly of one freelancer who engages other freelancers depending on the projects. I know him from previous business and some of the freelancers as well so they are not complete strangers. I suggested to found a new company to clearly separate it from the previous work but they stated that it would be too much effort.

Now I am a bit unsure how to approach the situation:
- should I insist to found a new company? how would you split the equity in that case? is there any best practice?
- what would you demand in case I would decide to join as CTO? Equity? Since it's already an established company it has a certain value but the value is actually only based on the current/previous consulting gigs which makes it kind of difficult. Also, I don't know what happened in the past and do not know if the company has any liabilities.
- if I join them, how can I "protect" the code so they cannot simply fire me afterwards and take it for them? how can I ensure that I can still use the code afterwards?
- is the code really worth anything at the moment?

Thanks for your insights!
Milky Way's graveyard of dead stars found
Even if the wave isn't very tall, if it is fast-moving it can knock you off balance. Once you're down, wave doesn't have to be very tall to drown you. There's also the fact that rip currents are commonplace phenomena on beaches all over the world, so you combine that with a single unexpectedly fast wave and it's easy to believe a few people would die.
People will say yes because it's a good deal. Obtaining 500k is incredibly difficult and requires a full decade of work for most people. How is creating a business that enables people to get a decades worth of work done in 100 days unethical? No one is forced into these videos. Everyone can leave just as well off as they started. If the videos didn't exist the people who got the money would be much worse off. In fact, I'll go ahead and say shutting down his channel would be unethical because it removes the choice he is giving people.
Congrats on the series B and very interesting approach with the Views.

Developer tools, especially ones around code should be open-source. If you like the idea of productionizing one-off scripts, building flows, and managing secrets and schedules in an integrated platform, we have made the same observation as the Airplane team but in a fully open-source manner: [1]. Being open-source in this space offers a lot of synergies, you can for instance build a community around sharing the modules that compose your flows: [2]

In addition, if your primary languages are Typescript, Python or Go, we offer a more integrated experience by parsing the script parameters directly to generate the input spec and the frontend. We are developing our own UI builder as well, more to be announced in the next month. We just released our helm-charts for easier self-hosted deployments: [4]

But that is more the cost of other stuff. I bet the difference in costs between driver and self-driving vehicles that are as reliably and safe as bus drivers is not that much. Mechanics etc... would still need to exist for driverless vehicles just as much. I think creating electric busses is much needed, without dumping lots of money into making them autonomous at the start.

They also proactively chose in the wake of the 2003 invasion of Iraq to avoid importing more natural from the US. Schroeder and co wanted to reconnect Western Europe to Russia and avoid any dependence on the U.S. I think we now all see who the more reliable partner for Western Europe has been.

Nothing is a specification until you label it “SPECIFICATION”, thus indicating “This is how this kind of thing is supposed to operate”.

If you do that with an implementation, you’re saying “this code has no bugs”. It may behave unexpectedly or crash, but that would all be exactly what the specification says.
I think we all can view a video of 'nails on a chalkboard' before we hear audio of nails on a chalkboard.

For some reason, unacceptable uncanny sounds is a much wider valley than unacceptable videos/pictures. The hand holding is uncanny in the family video, but I'm fine watching it for a second - it doesn't cause pain the way that same error would in music.

Largest flow battery energy storage station connected to grid
Got the closed-form solution:

P_i = a^i (1/a - 1)

where a is the real-valued solution of a^3 + a^2 + a - 1 = 0 .

a = 1/3 (-1 - 2/(17 + 3 sqrt(33))^(1/3) + (17 + 3 sqrt(33))^(1/3))

edit:

The probability to win comes out as a^2 ~= 0.2955977425220847709809965928515386138989754484466083115379546015...

edit2:

To arrive to this solution I expressed the equations in terms of R_i = P(choosing a number larger than i), then substitute P_i = R_{i-1} - R_i . This gets rid of the sums when you evaluate Q_{j+1} - Q_j , and arrives at R_{j+1}^2 = R_{j-1}(2 R_j - R_{j-1}). We know that R_0 = 1, and lim R_i = 0. I just tried R_i = a^i, and it works, with the value of "a" calculated above.

edit3:

To name names: the solution is a geometric distribution [1]

What I ended up reducing the algebra problem to is a homogeneous recurrence relation, albeit non-linear. As it has constant coefficients, a^i is the obvious candidate to test it with.

I got successfully nerd-sniped, this is a fun problem. Next time with 4 players...

I question your fundamental premise. For example, I used to use supercomputers to run molecular dynamics simulations. When I found that the supercomputer folks didn't want me to run codes (because at the time, AMBER didn't scale to the largest supercomputers) on their machines, I moved to cloud and grid computing and then built a system to use all of Google's idle cycles to run MD. We achieved our scientific mission without a supercomputer! In the meantime, AMBER was improved to scale on large machines, which "justifies" running it on supercomputers (the argument being that if you spend 15% of the cost of the machine on interconnect, the code better use the interconnect well to scale, but can't be embarassingly parallel).

I've seen scientists who are captive to the supercomputer-industrial complex and it's not that they need this specialized tool to answer a question definitively. It's to run sims to write the next paper and then wait for the next supercomputer. Your cart is pushing the horse.

Needless to say, "German energy policy of the last two decades" and "Let's Invade Ukraine and Blackmail Europe!" are different decisions, and subject to different analysis. You can have reasonable opinions about both, but if your opposition to Russian adventurism and brinksmanship[1] is grounded only on your support for the German nuclear industry, I think you're not helping the discourse.

[1] It's looking increasingly likely that they blew up Nordstream, which is dangerously close to an act of war against other nuclear powers.
It's certainly possible, yes, but it's worth considering the cost, because it adds up quickly.

In England, the cost of a school lunch is about ~£2.35. In the US, it's about ~$3.80.

When I go out to eat in the US for lunch, a typical take-away place to get something like a sandwich is maybe around $12. In the US, if we increased school lunch funding equivalent to that, the increase would be something like $8 per student per day. There are 50 million K-12 students in the US, so that would cost $400 million per day.

The per-pupil cost would be $1,472 per year. In a classroom of 20 students, that would be nearly $30,000/year -- enough to substantially increase teacher salaries, and nearly enough to pay for a teaching assistant in every classroom.

Obviously, there's nothing saying we couldn't increase funding by $1 or $2. But my point is simply that there are indeed trade-offs.

Some of these look like existing videos that have just be garbled - check the clownfish one and the litter of puppies - maybe that is because the prompts aren't that detailed or they just need to up the "creative/randomness" factor.

The sloth one though has a more specific prompt and came out looking more better? and more original.

With the huge amount of data being used to back these, how do we know the "uniqueness" of the generated content? is it original or is it just mangling of existing content?

Even if it is just garbling existing content, it is pretty amazing. Frame by frame the mutant unicorns float across the beach hah.

Well, these are friends in three states and across multiple locations in my state. Two of the states are in the top 10 and one is somewhere in the bottom 25 (list was top 25). And while this doesn't speak nationally (other areas may pay less), it does show that even in these well-off and higher paid states, the issue isn't money, yet the demand for more funding and higher pay is still a talking point.
Things are indeed moving really fast now, and that's really exciting, but I'd be cautious about extrapolating that pace too far into the future. Nearly all of the recent image generating AIs are all based on a single breakthrough technique called image diffusion[1]. Once we start hitting the limits of diffusion models progress will likely start to plateau a bit, at least until the next major breakthrough.

The New York Times is a shell of it's former self and no longer really practicing objective journalism as far as I can tell.

Journalism is very nearly dead.

The only information sources I find worth my time these days are a very short list of blogs, YouTube (almost entirely on Lex Fridman's channel) and random links found here on HN.
Also (please read my other messages first -- they were posted earlier) you know, the online service CompuServe a long time ago -- had a special section for keyword placement in its messages.

In the USENET newsgroups, the last four lines of a message were, by custom, allocated for whatever keywords or tagline that a user wanted to put in, outside of the original message.

And what about today's blogs with their tags?

Is properly tagging information on a blog, by the blog's author -- "SEO keyword stuffing" ?

?

If I have violated any HN policy, then I apologize -- but your comment seems like a very arbitrary criticism.

I could have phrased the same information in my original comment above as a statement, for example:

"This Electric Motor called the Koenigsegg Quark which uses Raxial Flux which has 335 HP which weighs 63 Pounds which is Lighter Than A Tesla Motor -- is really pretty cool -- or at least it is in my opinion!"

Would my phrasing of my original comment that way (exact same information -- probably the exact same value to search engines) -- have appeased you?

?
