I happen to be BS-facing, it must be said. I ought calm myself with the vast amount of "normal science".

But likewise, we're in an era when "the man on the street" feels easy appealing to "the latest paper" delivered to him via an aside in a newspaper.

And at the same time, the "scientific" industry which produces this papers seems to have not merely taken the on-trend funding, but scarified its own methods to capture it.

In otherwords, "the man on the street" seems to have become the target demographic for a vast amount of science. From pop-psych to this, all designed to dazzle the lay reader.

Once only on popsci book shelves, now, everywhere in Nature!
you're right of course. I should have been more clear.

The making robot bees analogy is good but I think you might be overlooking an important angle on the problem.

This is like inventing robot bee replacements, if bees were going extinct (which some people were worried about for a while, and some still are) … and while Bee populations may be collapsing but they don’t seem destined for extinction, just massive population losses that can in time recover like humans did from the Black Death… and it’s not even universally bad among all bee species.

However unlike Bees, of one species or another, which have a very clear path to repopulation and recovery overall if we don’t keep dumping pesticides on them (or at least keep looking for ones that don’t hurt them as much which has absolutely been an active area of research) … the climate may not be able to return to normal.

We’re not even sure that if we had a magic wand, and could change all human experience and industry across the whole planet so it was net carbon neutral (so neutral across co2, methane and all the other greenhouse gasses combined) starting right this very second. We might still have passed the tipping point and just be waiting for the current warmer climate based on current co2 levels to melt enough permafrost that we expose unaccounted for clathrates or deeply buried rotting bogs that will start putting out methane and continue the slide into all the predicted outcomes of uncontrolled climate change.

This system is so big and complex that we’re frantically trying to analyse it while simultaneously trying to frantically map the scope of the known unknowns meanwhile there are all the unknown unknowns that exist across the planet and every single major study acknowledges whenever they talk about the uncertainty in their measurements or their models or their survey data.

It’s one thing to invent something useless. It’s another thing to not have a plan B. Inventing robot bees is a plan B to help prevent mass starvation if bees were to go extinct, not very likely and even if they did not all crops need bees, plenty of other insects pollinate plants as well, which is why the robot bees is a little silly in practice but not in principle.

Studying geo-engineering is the Plan B for if we can’t turn back the clock due to either collective failure to change our ways enough, or fast enough, or soon enough… and when soon enough may have been yesterday and we may not even know it was yesterday until years from now when something else happens we didn’t fully understand or predict… it’s just stupid to not have been researching some plans B, C, and D. We shouldn’t necessarily give any of these more money than the current effort to actually fix the problem at its root cause but we should still be starting the research now before it’s too late for any possible plan to help. As to how much money, that’s a political issue thats too complicated for a simple HN comment that’s already getting quite long.

1) Many will cry about that performance hit (including me).

For over a decade our computers have gotten faster marginally, but our software has gotten slower at a greater rate.

You can barely navigate the web now with a new low end computer (that isn't a Chromebook). Most on this site won't care though because our machines cost $2,000+ and the web is Fine(tm); many folk aren't buying anything over $300 though.

2) These are memory bugs, so the introduction of Rust into the kernel could help us here potentially, no need for an architectural revolution.

Which countries have put a price on carbon?
That's true, but you need to unlock the tech for you to have enough food to feed everyone comfortably. Until it's comfy you have a fragile economy that occasionally falls into famine, so everyone would have to make plans to accommodate that, ie they can't build the pyramid too high.

Your problem also isn't just inventing better methods, you also have to rearrange society to take advantage of this new possibility.

I believe the site would be great, if below the suggested word it showed you some of the nuance of the suggested substitution. Almost every substitution will change the meaning or connotation, which is arguably the paramount reason for switching from the "very adjective" version.

Why should elections be federally funded?

At most you could make an argument that federal elections should be federally funded. But I don't even know whether the US actually has any federal elections that the wider public participates in?

Eg the election for president is officially an election for some state officials that then go off and participate in the real federal election for president. (Of course, this is oversimplified.)
These are the services, according to the article:

“T-Connect enables features like remote starting, in-car Wi-Fi, digital key access, full control over dashboard-provided metrics, as well as a direct line to the My Toyota service app. The servers that control these options contain unique customer identification numbers and customer emails.”
All of these things are part of net zero (and beyond). The problem is that we may already have kicked off a warming/methane/cloud feedback loop (there are several) and so getting carbon emissions down in the future isn’t going to be enough to fix it. These geoengineering solutions scare the life out of me, but they may (soon) be our only option for surviving this.
Sometimes you're deliberately trying to be inoffensive and formal, in which case claiming you're morose makes you look like a clown.

Compare "I was sad to hear about your grandmother" or "I was very sad..." with "I was morose..." or "I was inconsolable..." When it really matters, you need to drop the pretensions from your writing and just be normal.

There's also SEO as a simple reason that JS-heavy sites correlate inversely with content quality. Yes I know googlebot attempts a time/memory-bound render of a JS site to arrive at a DOM for text extraction, but this won't work with other search engines, and will never work as well and timely as providing static HTML to googlebot, no matter what.
Sure, but does one take Nature at their word?

> Scientific Reports is an online peer-reviewed open access scientific mega journal published by Nature Portfolio, covering all areas of the natural sciences. The journal was launched in 2011.[1] The journal has announced that their aim is to assess solely the scientific validity of a submitted paper, rather than its perceived importance, significance or impact.[2]

Of that last line, this is quite literally the opposite. The only grounds to accept this paper is how on-trend this topic is. The "scientific validity" of correlating floating point averages over historical text documents, and brain blood flow... is, c. 0%

Meh, I don't believe this is good criticism, actually the author would find himself in the middle of the people who he derides so colorfully. He just doesn't understand their perspective.

And not that of Ayn Rand either, who grew up in Russia. She certainly has an extreme position. This is very relevant context. We currently live in such a system. Nobody is only egoistic or altruistic.

> To get people to do needed things is the perennial hard task of government, not to mention of religion and philosophy

Not really and this is not how the world works and the author criticizes her in the background of a different definition of altruism.

She is no prophet or anything, but I believe it is worth reading about her perspective.

I disagree that altruism needs to be self-sacrifice, it most often is not, but this is how Rand defines it. There are cultures that practice quite direct self-sacrifice if they failed others. Can such a person be kind to others if they fail to be kind to themselves? Why do you need to love yourself so you can love others?

> Miss Rand now tells us that what we have thought was right is really wrong.

It is probably always wrong for everyone, including Rand. Not a Rand fan at all for that matter, she wasn't a too popular author in my country, I think this is mainly a US phenomenon. I think this is relevant too.
This methodology is pretty suspect. A few hundred hits on some random site and simple UA lookups isn't representative of much except who might've crawled this specific site.

Gosh, that is frustrating to even read about.

The first time it happened, I would get rid of whatever software was involved in causing it and never use it again, except for testing purposes.

I completely agree with you about everything else too. The Web is mature enough that I can use a well-tested website with a 20-year-old browser.

There is no technical reason to not have a minimum-viable web browser with a smaller attack surface that doesn't need upgrades for months or even years.

And, in fact, such browsers exist, and I can browse most of the Web that I need with them. I just have to ignore the shitty mainstream, which I am more than happy to do.
Webapps vs websites.

Yeah it is sidestepping as you say! The distinction is that if you don't sidestep by dereferencing raw pointers, the borrow check still works. Observe that you can cast as raw pointers in safe rust. What unsafe {} changes is that you can dereference them. The borrow checker still works for regularly borrowed values (&var and &mut var etc). This is probably obvious for Rust users, but I find some people take the "turn the borrow checker off" literally by assuming they won't get lifetime errors if the put an unsafe { } around their code.

Can you say more about what Archilyse is doing?
When I stopped working as an Army IT contractor in Germany, I went months with few interviews. Heck, I got rejected from a low-paid PC repair job, likely because the interviewer gave me a quizzical look when I replied that my husband was an engineer, and upon my asking why he wanted to know, he stated that “a family father of three needs more money than a single guy.”

So I volunteered at an after-school program where I was essentially babysitting, just to be forced to leave the house for something other than grocery shopping.

Then I took a part-time job as an English teacher at a big chain of language schools. That forced me to a) dress professionally, b) be places on a schedule and c) talk to the public. One fantastic skill I gained from those three months is a heightened ability to parse meaning out of any speakers who have gone to the trouble of learning some of my language. On the surface, this job was “beneath” me (CS degree from competitive American university, paid a princely 13 EUR/hr), but I really think it re-launched my career.

Finally, I had a great interview with an IT temp agency, which soon placed me in the ok-paid role that was converted into the job I’ve now had for 11 years.

Point of this anecdote? Along with getting the professional help you deserve, a “menial” job that makes you deal with people and follow a schedule will help keep you/get you back into shape for a job more suited to your skills and likes.

Nah this is true. They don’t pay businesses directly but they’ll pay the software provider. The software provider will change their terms of service as innocuously as possible, get clients to acknowledge it. They’ll even add an opt-out option but few will exercise it.

How many businesses today actually run payroll 100% in-house? Almost none.
Or maybe just testing their new engine against a live group. People have suggested (disclosed?) this has happened on HN before, which is why I thought of it.
If you look at the IEEE top programming language list, it is still close. Believe it's Rust ranked #20 to Julia's rank of #28 (if my count is correct).
https://spectrum.ieee.org/top-programming-languages-2022

And if you compare the IEEE to the TIOBE list, there appears to be a high degree of correlation. I think part of the criticism against TIOBE, is when people's favorite is not doing as well as they would like or a language they don't like is doing better than they expected.
You can do them individually yes, but you can’t do INSERT and UPDATE from the same SELECT CTE.

Before, you’d have to either load the data in the client side or duplicate the CTE across two statements in a transaction.

Beautiful old illustrations but I find the authors writing style off putting and garden path at best. Almost every sentence is a run on, I struggle to find a single sentence in the entire thing lacking either a comma or hyphenated sub-thought. The sentences are impenetrably long and in dire need of a skilled editor.

What follows is a single sentence.

> Like many other women naturalists in the second half of the nineteenth century, Lewis appears to have collected and illustrated specimens for her own edification, combining her “polite” training in the arts with meticulous scientific observation against the backdrop of a growing embrace of natural history’s wonders.

Beyond that, it’s own claims are unbacked. Over and over it cites the current zeitgeist being obsessed with Fungi but cites nothing, and nothing in my life experience backs that claim. Back it up with something, anything.

> mushrooms have represented something queer, sexy, and dark for centuries

Citation needed. I have never heard of mushrooms as sexy - back it up,

> Behind recent calls for fungal futures — involving everything from “biohacked” bodies to anti-capitalist visions

What? Reword, cite or omit

> It’s unclear whether today’s obsession with fungi […] is another fleeting trend or a longer embrace of our primordial ancestors

How am I meant to interpret this? Am I to interpret that final “of” as “akin to that of”? That’s the only way I can even make that thought make any kind of sense.

The whole thing reads like some kind of fever dream.

It’s called “presence”. There are just some things where being in a shared space is better for than pancake Zoom calls. You would know this if you actually tried VR.

Yes but it’s not in six degrees of space, it’s flat unlike in VR, and it’s trapped inside a small rectangular flat screen

You claim that you have used VR extensively, but I highly doubt it based on your comments. I shouldn’t have to repeatedly explain concepts like presence or 3D space that should be basic knowledge for someone already familiar with VR.

This is a pointless conversation when you refuse to try modern VR. What really puzzles me is why you seem to need to lie about using VR.
