I feel that HN as a whole, plays the role of cynic very often when it comes to tech discussions around new tech, especially since the community has a lot of folks who've seen the hype cycle way too many times (heck, I'm 30, and it's not odd to find folks on HN who've been coding since before I was even born!). However, I find this take refreshing compared to the perma-optimist VC/media hypetrain where everything is going "to the moon" until it isn't and then VCs and media walk away like nothing ever happened!

Of course this does come back to bite sometimes eg. the infamous Dropbox launch post but by and large, the mainstream startup media + HN helps form very balanced opinions on topics.

Crypto is one of those topics where the hypetrain was primarily driven by "number go up" mentality and as the hype on one side grew, HN and other tech-first communities doubled down in the other direction to maintain a semblance of balance. As the number has started going down, the laser eyes have disappeared, the calls for $100K BTC have died down, HN folks are also much less flame-baity in the discussions on the topic. The bone of contention remains that outside of tech utopias where "code is law", in real world, everyone has to deal with third parties, governments, corruption, the fed, market dynamics and what not. And the moment it hits the real world, crypto (rather the form it's taken today) broadly fails the smell test outside of speculation. Sure, there are likely applications possible and perhaps future iterations of existing ideas will prove more (for lack of a better word) useful, but it's like saying that just because a casino builds a good random number generator, it can now be called a R&D lab.
I was using Heroku, but thinking back it may have been just a factor of inexperience (I don't do web much, not had I used Heroku before and the UX is not great there). I can't actually remember which go framework I used, but I associate negative feelings with the experience (take this entire thing with a grain of salt - I just thought shuttle.rs + the general rust buildsystem seemed so much cleaner than what I recall doing - I struggled a lot with config files and getting the module system to work for me)
There’s probably a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of energy efficiency improvements you could make.

Many of them don’t cost much money and will show an immediate impact. When you do that, switching to a heat pump is cheaper because you don’t need as large of a system. When you go solar, it’s cheaper because you don’t need as many panels or microinverters.

Our local utility sends out an energy scorecard ever 6 months that tells you how you compare to nearby houses of the same size. We’ve managed to get our house into the lowest 10% consumption group, and yet we still could do better with insulation.
If your claim is that "the vaccine" was only tested on mice and you don't clarify that you're only talking about the updated variant, not the original, then you're being purposefully misleading.

> Traditional pressurized water reactors have their water under a pressure of 150 atm. A stovetop pressure cooker has a pressure of 2 atm. Sometimes pressure cookers explode, and it's not pretty. Now take that, multiply by 75, and make sure it's safe. There's only one way to do that: very thick steel walls. Walls that can only be made with huge forging presses, like in this eye-popping quote [1]

This is all just as true about steam pressure in coal power plants. In fact, we now build coal power plants that work with supercritical steam, at 220+ atmospheres.

The people who picked Begich as their first choice had their second choice counted, but the people who picked Palin as their first choice threw away their second choice. Had the latter's second choices not been thrown away, then Begich would have won.

Yeah. A few years ago the zeitgeist was "principal engineers" and then it turned into "staff engineers" and then "staff+".

That reminds me of my time at Harvard when I was a high schooler. Me and my buddy were wandering around campus when we saw a door propped slightly open that said "Warning: Cyclotron." Naturally we thought that sounds awesome so we wandered in to see what a cyclotron was. After a bit of explanation we ended up getting an unofficial tour. It was really neat!

But of course, the stock market also requires a huge number of transactions. Crypto hasn't found a good L1 solution to this that doesn't require immense amounts of energy and once you move to L2 you start losing the traceability guarantees.

While the stock market shenanigans have generated a lot of noise I don't see a good enough argument for crypto to warrant the pain of a switch.

Note also that if we have the political will to force wall street to be held accountable more centralized systems can achieve our goal with a much smaller cost.
Hah, I had the same learner project for Zig. I chose a different board memory layout for some increased throughput on my hardware, but generating relevant lookup masks at comptime was super beneficial with that approach too.

On the topic of comptime lookup tables, transcendental discretizations are popular in graphics programming (rescale sin/cos to fit appropriately into some integer type, make an array of them to turn transcendental approximations into array lookups). Those are easy to make flawless and fast in Zig.

Another thing that enables without too much song and dance is compile-time duck typing. You can write a function that easily handles a call like randint([][4]@Vector(12, u8), .{Min(0), Max(13), my_allocator, Shape(.{12345})}) which would allocate that type with an appropriate size and fill it with random integers within the prescribed bounds. It's perhaps a bit more verbose than a truly dynamic language, but comptime type introspection enables that sort of powerful control flow without especially burdensome implementations or any runtime performance cost (ignoring cache effects and whatnot), and the whole thing is statically guaranteed to work (within the bounds of what Zig actually promises).
Evrard D'Espinque’s Illuminations of De Proprietatibus Rerum (Ca. 1480)
Yes, I know, we can keep going down this rabbit hole. Turns out that a completely vegan diet, which has no DHA, is completely sufficient to sustain the body [1]. The human body is incredibly adaptive and increases its efficiency of converting ALA to DHA/EPA. This conversation I think will shake down how the heme iron/non-heme iron efficacy research. A study long ago showed that non-heme uptake was much poorer than heme iron and so the conclusion was something like "you need to eat 10x the non-heme iron" which has since become "conventional" wisdom. When you remove heme iron (stop eating meat), your body is able to absorb non-heme iron at the same rate. We call this a "smart drug" which changes uptake based on concentration levels. Basically, the study participants at the time ate so much meat that their iron levels were so high that non-heme iron is not processed.

Edit: The other thing I wanted to say is 1 tbsp of flaxseed has 2.4g of ALA and that the adequate intake of ALA is 1.6g and 0.3g of DHA/EPA. If we assume a 10% conversion rate for both (depends on many factors and a tad high), you get 0.24g of DHA/EPA. So, 2 tbsp of flaxseed and you're good. I put it in my smoothie in the morning.

You don't need to trust the validator because the protocol and cryptography makes sure they can't do anything against you. And the incentive they have to mine aligns with what you want (having the chain validated)

An argument could be made that, until he releases an English version, the crappy autotranslate version is better than nothing, and doesn't actually harm his sales, since the people who know Japanese will not care for the crappy autotranslate version, while people who don't will not care for the Japanese version.

Though, I personally found the autotranslate version somewhat unreadable, so I'll probably wait for the author's translation.
Beating everyone head to head is beating the field. The reason Begich wasn't picked by RCV is because he didn't have enough first choice votes. The problem with your analysis is that you are placing more value on a person's first choice than is warranted. You are assuming people care so much about their first choice winning that their lower choices are essentially irrelevant as long as their first choice is in the race. However, this is not necessarily the case. For example, what if someone liked their first two choices equally (or perhaps close to equal), but was forced by the ballot to rank one ahead of the other? That is a very different situation than if the voters did in fact have a very strong preference for their favorite over their second favorite, which is the situation you are assuming. Neither of these situations can be assumed from the data presented on a ranked/ordinal ballot.

With a cardinal ballot such as score or STAR, your argument could potentially hold water because we can glean the nuanced preferences from people's ballots. eg if someone ranked Palin 5, Begich 4, and Peltota 0, that's a very different story from Palin 5, Begich 1, Peltota 0, even though both of those ballots would look identical if they were squished into a ranked ballot format. The second case would support your argument pretty solidly since the voter didn't like Begich much at all, just a smidgen better than Peltota.

For the opposite scenario, consider if this race had been done with a 5 point score/STAR ballot where 40% voters give Palin 5, Begich 4, and Peltota 0, 40% voters give Peltota 5, Begich 4, and Palin 0, and 20% voters give Begich 5. It would be inexcusable not to elect Begich. Even though Begich was not the first choice for 80% of the population, an election like that would indicate such extremely strong support for him that you'll probably be inclined to point out that such an election would never happen in reality and I'm giving a contrived example. Which you're right, I'm not saying this is a likely scenario, I'm simply trying to illustrate how a compromise candidate could in fact be very strong, but RCV will still eliminate them if they don't have enough first choice votes. Placing a premium on people's first choice votes as RCV does is both unwarranted given the data represented on the ballots as well as harmful due to the issues it causes with monotonicity, not electing the Condorcet winner, etc.

If we want to insist on ranked ballots, we should be using a Condorcet method to count them.
a “cross-platform” assembly format could, in time, make introducing new hardware architectures a bit easier.

for example, these guys link to a discord channel to chat about their work, but i can’t join it easily because even though Discord ships a Linux client, they only ship it for x86 and not arm. further down the road, i’d like to try some RISC-V devices: that’ll be that same experience times ten. a portable assembly format has the chance to overcome this.

You make it sound like being the consistent second choice means he doesn't deserve to win, when the opposite is true. Consider a hypothetical country in which 33% of the population is religion X, 33% is religion Y, and 34% is religion Z. Candidate 1 wants the country to be a religion X theocracy, candidate 2 wants the country to be a religion Y theocracy, candidate 3 wants the country to be a religion Z theocracy, and candidate 4 wants the country to have freedom of religion. (Assume all voters would love a theocracy of their own religion, be okay with freedom of religion, and hate a theocracy of a different religion.) Do you want an election system where candidate 3 wins instead of candidate 4?

No, I chose my words very carefully. The NHS is still overwhelmed/falling apart, but it was not the number of Covid patients that did this.

The biggest difficulty has been the Covid policies put into place, both inside and outside hospitals. It's difficult, time-consuming, and stressful to follow those policies (both parents work for the NHS, btw), not to mention the number of staff who had to isolate. The social services that would receive many patients after their hospital stay are also overwhelmed/falling apart (probably for similar reasons), so many patients cannot be discharged.

I'll say it again - it all makes sense, if avoiding Covid is the absolute number 1 priority, and if "letting it rip" would have made things worse than they are now.
"Marine Cryptophytes are Great Sources of DHA and EPA" - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5793051/

"Like humans, fish obtain EPA and DHA from their diet, basically from microalgae, some of which could be used in commercial PUFA production."
Actually there's another option which hasn't been mentioned so far, which is just as easy to implement as plurality (for both voting and counting by hand), and has pretty much all the benefits of IRV/RCV.

That method is "Asset Voting", which works exactly like a plurality vote, except that once the totals for each candidate are known, the candidates are eliminated one by one (from least to most votes) and get to assign their vote counts to any remaining candidate.

If you agree with me and the parent post that voter confidence (including avoiding electronic counting machines) is the most important factor when evaluating possible alternatives to plurality (assuming the alternatives are no worse than plurality) then hopefully you will agree that Asset Voting is preferable to IRV/RCV.

This comment is more clear. Above, you spoke about nuclear power in the abstract. It's good to separate out the discussion like this. Because nuclear power can mean building new safe reactors, or it can mean keeping really old ones running.

> But we are considering the safety of nuclear power as it exists today.

Even then, it's not a homogeneous blob of risk. There are different reactor designs, run by authorities of different competence levels, built at varying distances away from cities. There's no substitute for a case by case analysis.

I sense a hand-wavy aspect to the argument. I want some harder facts. What percentage of currently live reactors have an equal or greater risk than the Chernobyl plant? Is it 2% or 50%? Such distinctions make a big difference to the tail risk.

> You seem to be saying that voters who aren't informed enough about their relative preferences for all available candidates, deserve to have their votes thrown away

Not at all, if we get to the point where people are having to choose between and rank 50+ different candidates I might agree there's a problem, but a handful of choices simply isn't. In the Alaska election they had just three to rank, since the primary weeded out the most unpopular others right away. There's also nothing to stop someone from bringing in a list of names and ranks compiled ahead of time. No need to keep your preferred ranking in your head. These days you could pull out your phone while in the voting booth, or have a small slip of paper in your wallet, purse, or pocket.

This might surprise you, but many many people aren't terribly informed about the candidates and still manage to cast a vote under our current system. This is especially true for local offices. That subset of the population can continue making poorly informed choices about a few more candidates than usual without much trouble.

I do appreciate that you're looking out for the rights of the illiterate voting population, but there's never been an easier time for illiterate people to get informed. Nearly half of the research into a particular candidate I do these days is in the form of youtube videos and radio interviews. It's admittedly slower than reading, but I do feel like I get a lot of information about a person by seeing and hearing them speak. Come voting day there are already poll workers prepared to assist illiterate voters with casting their vote as well and none of that will change under ranked choice voting.
