Yes :) Cis-urocanic acid, a sunlight-induced immunosuppressive factor, activates immune suppression via the 5-HT2A receptor (2006) — https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0603119103

It’s super interesting to just stuff the names of the cytokines into Google Scholar and see what pops out. IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha are some of the ones with a lot of papers out. There’s so much more knowledge out there than I could have imagined. It’s like almost nobody reads these papers. It’s wild.
When I was in high school a little over a decade ago, my school told us to use an academic search engine that they payed for access to. It was actually pretty neat. I'm surprised that hasn't become more ubiquitous.
Depends on the method. Evolutionary methods can absolutely find structure that we missed, and they often go hand in hand with learning. Like AlphaGo move 37.

Wow, it’s crazy to hear that as a person who has recently become aware of first such occasion at 31 years old.

Thanks for sharing!
We use it to pay people we already know for transactions we've verified, like a beer here or there or splitting gas or whatever.

No way I'd send a large sum of a money to a stranger / new company over Venmo.

It's useful for replacing small change in your wallet, not for replacing credit card and proper purchase protections.
> The answer to all of the questions is: "Who the f* knows and why should I care?".

A whole lot of people thought this.

Then the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Now, they the f* knew. And they knew why--because they suddenly couldn't get medicine or medical care.
Also maths and science is "too nonsensical".

Sure. My point was indeed to suggest we rethink what government can do.

Can governments (not necessarily the federal government) run a public service internet system? Sure, and probably more easily than we can, as another poster suggested, regulate tech companies into providing the right tradeoffs for housed and unhoused users.
How does the brain do backprop?
Because the common rejoinder to the low pay of "low skill" jobs is to tell those people to become "high skill". When in fact, "high" and "low" skill is only one factor, and not even the major one, in whether you're going to be well paid.

Another reply said nurses are "highly paid" because they make an average of $70-100k. That is laughable. I made more than that at my first job, at a no-name tech company, when all I knew was jQuery and 4 HTTP verbs. Or compare the valuation of any medical tech, or biochem, or materials sciences company compared to the latest photo sharing phenomenon slapped together by some hungover Stanford grads. How much do experienced chemical, or mechanical, or civil engineers make compared to new grad software devs? Who's more "skilled"?

Supply and demand is where it's at. It's pretty easy to increase the supply of janitors or line cooks, so their pay sucks, even though demand is always strong and the work isn't particularly easy or pleasant. There are countless musicians and actors in the world, far more than there could ever be demand for. So their pay, on average, also sucks.
Wow. That makes me feel so much better!! Seriously. 2011 to 2021 were those years for me. I've beat myself up over not making forward progress in life, if not regressing, for an entire decade. The idea that there's a saying about it is somehow comforting (assuming of course that the decade is now over). It's like when you stop and realize that "existential crisis" is a cliche phrase because so many others have experienced it as well, for centuries.
> Ukraine is at war with Russia. Japan has a claim over the islands, which are currently held by Russia.

As an addition, technically Japan still is at WW2 war with Russia (which claimed itself as "the legal successor of the USSR"), because peace treaty still has not been signed since 1945.[0,1]

I'd put the likelihood well over "everything is possible theoretically" territory. Though of course it's also possible that it was 100% home-grown and Ukraine's schooling the whole world on how this should be done, before a live studio audience.
Have you tried Simple wikipedia? Also, wikipedia is a reference, not a textbook.
Because the whole industry is wrong. ML is incapable of general intelligence, because that's not what intelligence is. ML is the essential component with which one interfaces with the universe, but it's not intelligence, and never will be.

The entirety of russian far east is not majority russian.

It was colonized using interned Ukrainians, Poles, and other captive Eastern Europeans.

I spent my early childhood in Vladivostok. The city, and the region has a very different air than the rest of russia.

Even places considered "oriental" in russia, like Siberia, or Astrakhan feel much more like the rest of central russia, than parts of russia east of Blahoveschensk.
Even when 2FA is disabled, Google will insist on additional verification (phone, recovery email, etc) if it thinks something about your browser or IP address is unusual, even if you know your password. If you don't have a verification method (or cannot access it), Google will literally just lock you out. I have personally experienced this.

It should be possible to turn this off!

> The original legendary Marathon was a run between the cities of Marathon and Athens.

Why's it have to be a marathon in your mind? Any race - doesn't have to be that literal.
Right, which is why you can't do this without impartial arbitration.

Essentially each transaction that is "refundable" is an implied contract between parties and it should be verifiable. Such as in the case of a car sale it is pretty easy for a third party to check if the car was received.

Or somehow have a notary to witness and verify the transaction.

This is the basic problem is that you can't have instant transfers with fraud prevention. It's impossible to claim that banks don't understand this and IMHO it should be considered criminal negligence that they pushed this product on consumers knowing that it just exposes them to easy fraud.
I often say, that I only regret two things in life:
Not having more kids (only have 2, they are 7 years apart, I would love to have like 3 more kids in that period).
Second is getting a tattoo. I got it because I wanted to be "unique". I still enjoy being unique, that's why I regret it now.
I'm guessing you might be from a non-western country like India if there really isn't anyone around you who sides with Ukraine.

I'm curious about how a population across the political spectrum (i.e. not just marginal political ideologies) can justify siding with Russia in this situation.

I mean, is it really that Ukraine's intent to join NATO was provocative enough that Russia had no choice but to invade?

I'm only really curious to understand a potential non-western perspective here, not an argument.
I wouldn't be investing effort improving the mobile browser behavior of desktop oriented controls for the benefit of making it a better HN submission.
What’s the probability that Russian drones attacked the Nord Stream pipeline?

It’s the fraction of parallel universes where that happened - or something.
If all you wanted was to deliver on the density you could just keep most transistors dark and still stay within the power budget. That's not very useful in general but maybe there are some aplications for it. AMD has been shipping their 3D VCache setup where they layer an extra cache only die on top of a CPU die. That's been benchmarking really well and is already an effective doubling that can be cooled with a normal PC setup. Maybe there's a few other tricks like that to get a few more vertical layers out of the same processes.
Thank you, we appreciate it Dan.
This really bums me out to hear. I have used many torrent clients over the years, Azureus -> uTorrent -> Deluge -> (transmission on mac and linux, although it didnt work great on Windows), until finally landing on qBittorrent and loving it.

I hope they figure out their maintainer issues.

I have been frequently surprised at how many physics questions are just unsolved. We know exactly what happens, which seems to be enough to do practical work with without having to know why.

Everywhere, no matter education, wealth or resources in general. DOers will always come out ahead. Not do it once but acting on your ideas regularly. Yes, some ideas will go wrong but at least you know the out come. DOers are those we read about all the time. Sometimes they are great other times they are not but at least they did something to find out. You never hear about those that did nothing. Maybe, we read their name in a grave stone.
Regarding the waiver—"The maximum discount is 15 percent of total monthly spending on AWS services". Was very excited at first.

As for leaving data in AWS, data is often (not always) revisited repeatedly for years after the fact. If new questions are raised about the results it's often much easier to check the output than rerun the analysis. And cloud storage is not cheap. But yes it sometimes makes sense to egress only summary statistics and discard the raw data.
This is apparently about the Kuril Islands. Total population around 21,000. Old dispute, which no one is really excited about.

Now, what would really upset Russia would be some dissident group in St. Petersburg declaring the Independent Region of Leninburg Oblast. This would begin to undo the takeover of local power which Putin pushed through in 2002. Before that, the regional governments had real power within the Russian Federation. After that, they were subordinate to Moscow.

Much of Leninburg Oblast was once Finnish, after all.
These people aren't being hacked though. They're being scammed. They chose to give their money and mfa codes to a stranger who promised them nothing in exchange, and ended up regretting it. It makes things more of a grey area because banks should do what what we tell them to do with our money, and it's really not their job to take a paternalistic stance and judge if your authorized financial choices are stupid or not. How do you draw the line? What if someone wants to buy penny stocks? Should the bank reimburse them?
> Religion, for example, has always been good at dividing us into sects with competing narrative beliefs

I would say the opposite is true. Over time the number of religions in the world has become less - larger and larger groups uniting under fewer and fewer religions.

The same is true for cultures, languages, ideologies, etc. They are all just variations of imagined stories. The world is united to a degree never seen before in history.

However I think perhaps society saw peak unification in the 90's and maybe 00's. It seems society is re-fracturing into smaller groups again. It is perhaps remarkable that we had such a level of unification for as long as we did, and there is no reason to believe society will ever return to that state.
I think that's pretty close except for the joke part.

The early-days problem with the Agile movement was that it promised actual change by empowering the line workers to actually get things done for users by shipping early and often. That was an intolerable threat to industrial-age managerial power structures, to which waterfall is an ideal that justifies lots of management control.

But since then it's been gradually watered down and tamed. Scrum's certification scam was the start of that, and SAFe strikes me as the end result: lots of Agile jargon with the rigidity of waterfall, providing long-term safety to managers in large companies everywhere.

I wrote about this dynamic before SAFe existed, but it seems to fit right in with what I described: https://williampietri.com/writing/2011/agiles-second-chasm-a...
Right, but doesn't that mean that it could potentially be used for designing algorithms that have componentwise numerical stability over some kind of floating point standard, but this, by definition being a result over finite fields, should be numerically stable?

(apologies if I misunderstood, I wasn't calling you out specifically but a generalized misconception I've noticed in a lot of other discussions so far)
Long ago when I was a physics grad student, I distinctly remember that when someone introduced Bayesian statistics in a talk, it was because they were trying to justify weeding outliers from their data by hand. And they always got called to task on it.
> our starting point architecture from genetics has a lot of learning built in

I don't doubt that evolution provided us with great priors to help us be fast learners, but there are two more things to consider.

One is scale - the brain is still 10,000x more complex than large language models. We know that smaller models need more training data, thus our brain being many orders of magnitude larger than GPT-3 naturally learns faster.

The second is social embedding - we are not isolated, our environment is made of human beings, similarly an AI would need to be trained as part of human society, or even as part of an AI society, but not alone.
Bad MBAs suck, good MBAs are valuable. Bad software engineers suck, good software engineers are valuable. Bad lawyers suck, good lawyers are valuable.

Every field has good and bad. Painting everyone in a field as bad or good isn't great thinking.
Why not just use a for loop?
Are you saying that GPT-3 doesn't grasp Object Permanence?
You're absolutely right. There are probably plenty of foreign ministers who would love a late night talk show segment with Stephen Colbert but convincing the show producers would be an impossibly tough sell without high powered connections.
The history of computing is moving from one paradigm to another. We are well past the fast speedups in single thread transistor-based performance phase and into the hyper-parallelization phase.

3d stacking is another innovation that can help.

But I think within a decade or two there will be a move away from silicon-only transistors to something like memristors or some type of optical or optoelectronic system that hasn't even been invented yet. This will provide some iterations with again radical parallel interconnect and quite possibly single thread speedups.
Everything inside the concrete shell can still burn: wood flooring, carpeting, furniture. People will probably furr out the walls with wood and drywall anyway so they can hide wiring and pipes and so they don’t feel like they’re living in a prison cell.
We had a million dollars worth of hardware installed in a closet. It had a portable AC hooked up that needed it’s water bin changed every so often.

Well I was in the middle of that. When the Director decided to show off the new security doors. So he closed the room up. Then found out that new security doors didn’t work. I find out as I’m coming back to turn AC back on.
Room will get hot really fast.

We get office Security to unlock door. He says he doesn’t have authority. His supervisor will be by later in the day.

No question Zelenskyy and his team have been killing it (uh, so to speak). Outside help or no—if I had to put money on it, I'd bet on "yes, world-class PR and/or marketing firms were engaged, probably before the most recent invasion started"—he and his team have been incredible from hour 1 day 1.
It's almost like satire, but it's real. Is there a word for a true parody?
Good question. I guess I have made some assumptions about it that I still hold onto. Like, it will be less pay with longer hours. Not really in a great spot right now to career switch either.
These guys previously published a study that was debunked because they had removed people with high viral loads, which un-randomizes their sample (and was not what they claimed they would do).

When you added the people back in, the data showed no antiviral effect of ivermectin.

The authors are not trustworthy and there's no reason to think this is good data.

So, not really trying to take sides on this as I have both GPS smartwatches and G-shock watches, and think they both have their pros and cons. However, in looking at reviews and discussions in various types of forums, it always seems like Garmin longevity is discussed in terms of years, and G-shock can be decades -- sometimes without ever charging them or replacing the battery.

I think the essence of a watch is still timekeeping, as most of the other functions can be provided by other things (online mapping, paper maps, dedicated GPS, etc.). So if you just want a timekeeping device and want it to be really indestructible, G-shock has that appeal. It's like the omega dive watches but digital and more practical financially speaking (a bit of 80s tech nostalgia doesn't hurt).

I admit Garmin Instinct is where they start to compete with G-shock, and on a feature-by-feature basis, the Instinct should come ahead. I don't really understand sometimes why Casio isn't trying to introduce slimmer GPS watches, as that should be their niche. At the same time, the Garmin Instinct just hasn't had as much time as the G-shock watches to establish a reputation. So even if 30 years from now people are talking about how their Garmin Instinct 2s are still ticking, and they acquire the same reputation as a G-shock, that's still 30 years from now.

Casio also seems to really favor - or at least appeal to someone looking for - rock-solid implementation of established features in firmware/hardware. The app issue you're mentioning is telling, in that my guess is Casio's core customer base really doesn't care about a phone app. They don't want their watch to sync with their phone.
Not sure what your issue is with PayPal (philosophical objection to it seems to be popular), but at least PayPal will refund your money if you are scammed. Zelle will not and never has, and I suspect that is why banks won't cover Zelle scams. I personally consider Zelle itself a scam, and it boggles the mind why so many banks have partnerships with it. Automatic Zelle accounts when opening a bank account? Oh my God that is an astoundingly bad idea.
Politicians proof your point wrong. Amounts of people are for a fact a horrible metric. Look at religious people for example, or simply the fact that your eyes ( or brain ) actually is mostly deceiving you.
But this is all horribly besides the point. There is no need to trust google play services yet it opens up a ton more possible attack vectors /and/ it exposes you to states screwing you over, considering that Google cucks to state authorities for various intents and purposes.
Early MKs are mostly unreactable visually so sound effects become the first priority.

Killer Instinct 2013 unintentionally at first has different sound (and music!) effects for each move as well as every meter so at some points devs were astonished by a letter from actually blind players with a few advices on how to make it even more accessible.

Upcoming Street Fighter 6 has the options needed!
What you said can also be true with a modern linux or bsd install. Use something like arch linux or nixos and only install the bare bones like a windows manager, text editor, irc client and a web browser. You'll have no notifications, it's all up to you and you'll also have an updated and secure machine.
You hit the nail on the head and posted just before I would've. The only thing I can add to that directly here is this:

Just look at the acronym itself!

It tells those managers at Big Corp that it is finally safe to implement Agile!
I agree.

Big Tech can afford to wall their gardens and close off their ecosystems. That is because they have billions of users, and profits merely require keeping the users.

But services undergoing adoption need to offer disruptive advantages such as extraordinary user experiences, or being interoperable with other networks to benefit from network effects.

When a small movement (which is what Free Software is becoming sadly) chooses to burn bridges, they are bound to get even smaller.
I personally have a while yet before I can be replaced by AI art tools, yes.

What I am concerned and angry about is the next generation. The people who are just becoming pros, who are at the point where they are glad to get a job cranking out hundreds of models of sneakers for EA's Basketball Jam 2024 or doing a bunch of D&D character commissions or whatever other commercial art job because it is paying the bills (including working off their massive student debt) by doing what they actually trained to do instead of some shitty minimum-wage job or an even shittier "gig economy" thing. That's the window that all this AI art crap is making a lot smaller.
