Regarding launching and collisions: You mostly don't have to worry about it. The visualization makes space look crowded, but each satellite is over 150,000 times smaller than what is visualized. Space is very very big and very very empty. LEO is bigger than the surface of the earth and dozens of times thicker than the earth's crust.

It only takes a few radar stations to track all the satellites, and the US Space Force makes their data public.[1][2] Most satellites don't have much in the way of maneuvering capabilities, so you don't need continuous tracking, just updates every few days or so.

You absolutely can expel a country from NATO - just get all the other member states to agree on it, it will happen.

People will say that “there is no provision in the NATO Charter to expel a member”-but that doesn’t actually matter. If all the other member states agree on it, the secretary-general will implement the decision. If the expelled state wants to claim that is illegal-there is no court with jurisdiction to hear their claim.

To give an extreme hypothetical, if Turkey commenced an invasion of Greece, they’d be expelled from NATO within hours. Nobody would care about the legal niceties-they’d leave that to international law professors to debate for decades to come.

The anthropocene will be visible in every history of the planet as one of the most rapid changes in every geologically and archaeologically observable metric, on the scale of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

The asteroid may vanished in a massive conflagration, but people don't talk about it because that particular lump of space rock went extinct, they talk about all the other changes that came about as a result of its admittedly short time in our atmosphere and ecosystem.
UXF has plenty of English-specific keywords.

I agree that "true" and "false" would be clearer than "yes" and "no", but the fact that "yes" and "no" are English words isn't an issue.

And where will we get the raw materials needed to build such vast amounts of batters? Global supply of lithium is already an issue just for electric car production. Global supply of lithium will not be sufficient to store grid scale amounts of energy.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/electric-vehicles-wor...

The world could face lithium shortages by 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says, while Credit Suisse thinks demand could treble between 2020 and 2025, meaning “supply would be stretched”.

About 2 billion EVs need to be on the road by 2050 for the world to hit net zero, the IEA says, but sales stood at just 6.6 million last year, and some carmakers are already selling out of EVs.

Lithium supply faces challenges not only from surging demand, but because resources are concentrated in a few places and over half of today’s production is in areas with high water stress.

That seems to be a complaint, at least in part, about a terminal-based world which only the "right" people had the ability to access vs. a commercialized Eternal September where all the plebes (and scammers/grifters) have access. I'm pretty sure that a terminal line world that somehow had the same access and usage as today's GUIs/Web would find other ways of introducing the same problems.

The modern web is primarily distinguished by its custom ui/media, as opposed to the old school web which put textual information first and allowed clients more control over presentation. The problems this creates are:

* Accessibility - I can't change presentation to make things easier for me to consume

* Inspectability - I can't search, index, etc. Information is hidden behind js driven interfaces that only present bits at a time.

* Uniformity - I don't want to deal with a deluge of clever interfaces. I want the data only, and I want control over how I will present the data to myself.

* Buggy - All these custom JS driven interfaces means a never ending deluge of weird interaction bugs, most of which we just ignore. Pages are needlessly slow or error prone.

Saving on national insurance is pretty good.

But taxes on dividends got higher and higher in recent years.

You can still work for years in the UK, accumulate money (or real estate / other investment) in the company - then you move to Dubai and withdraw dividends tax free.

You end up paying 19% corp tax rate on your income that you can access only after you're done with the UK - which is not great compared to lower taxed countries in Europe (Malta at 5% being the best), but you get access to the London only jobs which pay a bit more (even if now that's not really true in a post remote working world).

Definitely better than getting equivalent salary and being forced to stash money in a pension you'll see when you're 60 or pay 40% taxes
This seems like an unfair comparison.

If you limit the capabilities of a GUI interface to only what is possible without code changes, then you must do the same for CLI applications.

Emacs is all code. Most CLI-only applications cannot be modified other than the flags you pass in; you are instead forced to pipe from one application to another.

If you limit the capabilities of GUI applications to the realm of existing software (i.e. your monster ERP reference) then we must also limit the capabilities of CLI tools to what exists, and I know (for having looked far and wide) that I have needs which are not available via terminal-only programs; the only existing set of available software that I need with a comprehensive set of features is in a GUI-only application.
Maybe my personal experience is biased, but in Texas, the vehicles are not smaller because of being located in urban areas. From my experience, F150 type trucks, SUVs, etc are the same size no matter their location.

Urban areas have way more construction going on which is the larger, dirtier fuel using, etc equipment. And if you're trying to compare farming equipment to dense population areas, then I'd love to see some proof of what you're claiming that they are producing more rurally than in urban centers.
Or there are corrupt fishery regulators who are giving wild overestimations of fish population in return for kickbacks from fishery associations/cartels.

Maybe. Or maybe nuclear is actually just too expensive, and we need to stop pretending it's a commercially-viable technology.
Okay, that is a fair take, in the end it will depend on the student what kind of teaching methodology will work best but it is indeed unlikely that they will gain more from him trying to write a book than him sitting down with them.

Maybe with that as a baseline understanding the next interpretation of his question becomes: where can I find others in a similar predicament so that we can collaborate on building the book (as I gain experience coaching these juniors and need support network when I am flummoxed)?
And to echo/rephrase the grandparent's words, if asking for help is the kind of thing that people in this company would look down on you for, then this is absolutely not the kind of company you want to work for... not just "even" as an intern, but especially as an intern.

Yes, but it depends a bit on the exact nature of your job. At the last job, my Linux work machine never had a mouse plugged into it because I never needed one. The macbook the company gave me was the "chat/email machine".

Nowadays, I have to run a proprietary VPN client that only works via GUI, but even though a full screen terminal emulator isn't as "pure", it feels the same.

I love it: absolutely zero distractions, it's a huge productivity win for me. But I realize I'm lucky in that the kind of work I do doesn't require me to be responsive to chats and emails (my reply latency is 24h).

> Most functional languages actually serialize operations pretty linearly in their default evaluation model, which is why they have explicit constructs for parallelism and concurrency.

Yes, but evaluation models can adapt easier when the language does not have explicit mutation, so there's less "catching up" to do for functional languages. Also concurrent programming will always require a separate class of constructs from parallelism.

Do you have a source?
It is possible but inadvisable. A more realistic approach would be terminal + browser.

Living in a terminal itself doesn't really mean much, as it strongly depends on your tasks. For things like number crunching or programming, it has a pretty big benefit (as text is the universal API after all), and you can do pretty much everything, usually faster and more reliable than a GUI can.

But when you need to do data visualisation, make use of external services that do not provide terminal emulation interfaces or want to work with people that do not live in a terminal, that makes a 60/40 split the best choice.

for mutt, I use Luke Smith's mutt-wizard and can do several accounts, I switch accounts with `i1`, `i2`, etc. for the different accounts, though I'm not sure if that fits your use case

for the question I'd say "depends on what you want to do", if you have to interact with people who use slack, then probably no, unless you make your own CLI client to it, same with the web
The LSP, treesitter parsing, debug protocol etc. are good developments, but everything else in neovim is just way different from VSCode. And the vim modal editing pattern is nice for a basic text editor but has pretty poor extensibility compared to a menu-driven program - at some point you just can't do everything with single letters, you need actual, complex commands. So a real T-Vision/TUI conversion of VS Code might still be very worthwhile.

PS podcastsaver looks neat!

some quick feedback:

1) your "switch back to light mode" icon looks a LOT like a gear for a settings menu. I turned on dark mode, did a search, saw the "back to light mode" icon and thought "huh, the dark mode toggle is settings now? Weird choice, let's see what's there..."

2) the show notes seem truncated. It would be helpful for me to be able to search the show notes for a defined set of podcasts. Sometimes I remember that a podcast mentioned a product or service that I wanted to check out, but I can't remember the name of the product or the overall episode, and it's painful to find the right one by scrolling back through everything in my pod catcher.

3) are you tracking Podcasts 2.0? Some interesting additional stuff to index there. https://origin.fm/blog/podcasting-2point0/

Ask HN: Is it possible to create a image processing based lie detector?
Hello,
Seeing how most people who guess well if someone is lying do it from 'reading a face', it can be said that there must be auditory and visual cues in a person's expressions that reveal if someone is lying. Is it possible to create a lie detector just based on reading and processing someone's facial expressions and voice?

This can have a lot of uses. Courts can know if a defendant is guilty or innocent immediately in almost all cases. Businesses can know if their suppliers and employees are capable. Employees can know if the employer will actually give them the raise that they have been promising. We may all be able to know if our dear politicians are lying.

This will improve our lives and it seems like a marketable product. Why hasn't anyone made it so far.
It is using some sort of an alternative to GDP, but I don't understand why they made that choice:

"The Current Activity Indicator (CAI) is an alternative summary measure of economic growth constructed from major real activity indicators. The CAI includes both “hard” and “soft” economic indicators, and it puts a relatively high weight on the latter."
intelligence is not the target I take it. The target is self-experience/qualia
What I’m trying to say is this: https://books.google.ch/books?id=vsU2DwAAQBAJ&lpg=PA45&dq=eq...

“An isolated system is in equilibrium if the sharp constraints and expectation values which define its macrostate pertain to constants of the motion only.”

“Whenever the macroscopic data include an expectation value, a measurement of the pertinent observable may yield a wide range of outcomes.”

I’m not making up the idea of an equilibrium state being associated with a macrostate.

The 4080 12GB's performance is about the same as where a new 60 series card sits compared to the previous gen 80 series card (60 series tend to be within +-10% of the previous gen 80 series, 4080 12GB is at most a 60ti based on this)

The 4080 16GB is around where a 70 series card tends to sit.

Yeah if you're more effective in terminal then go for it, but I think you'll at least need a good web browser to fill in the gaps.
Are any of these previously unnoticed associations? I think the problem here is that they are not typically informative or predictive of “success” — whatever that means here.

You make some great points, but I fear you are wasting your 'breath'.

I'm glad to hear reasonable discussion that is willing to at least acknowledge some inconvenient and fairly concerning aspects of climate change science. Ideologues don't require any scrutiny of the facts because they've been told what to believe and do so obediently.

There is substantial political interest and monetary incentive for both sides of the climate debate.

To make wild assumptions and then speak in imperatives about the future, as if we all agree about those assumptions, is putting the cart before the horse
How would that work? A rocket launches into orbit an unmanned satellite capable of autonomously intercepting the orbit of debris in order to collect it and then deorbit itself? Seems extremely expensive for little benefit.

It's my understanding that atmospheric drag and orbital perturbations due to the gravity of other celestial bodies cause satellites to need station keeping maneuvers just to avoid crashing into the Earth. So it seems to me that this debris problem will eventually take care of itself.

We are doing heavy re-factoring and re-design, so there isn’t much useful to see at this point. We are looking to refine the design and user experience. We do plan to have all the client portions open-source once we have less churn.

Most of what we are working on are either new concepts or don’t belong in Nix itself. As we see portions that are appropriate to upstream, we will do so. That being said, we have already done a fair bit of Nix development and continue to do so.
In Sony's defense, everything else with the PlayStation was actually pretty straightforward. PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5.

"PSOne" was a weird way to brand a slim console, but it's still obvious that it's a PS1. And while Sony did originally use PSX to refer to the PS1, that was an internal codename, i.e. "different from the Nintendo PlayStation[0]". The gaming press ran with it because people in that era insisted on awkward three-letter acronyms for all games consoles. Reusing it for a weird PS2 DVR combo unit is still way better than Microsoft launching two different consoles with the same name.
