We signed one of our kids up for a longitudinal study of the same general type mentioned here (ECHO, the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes).

I have no idea how we got sampled -- a staffer visited our hospital room with a clipboard and signed up the kid at birth, but otherwise we would never have known it was an option.

For us they've done occasional detailed phone interviews roughly annually, sent someone to collect biometric data at the kid's regular well child visit, and occasionally requested some poop or blood.

They also enrolled us in a related study during early 2020 -- we were mailing in nasal swabs from the whole family every week or so for a while! (The DIY home blood sample kit they sent was NOT a winner and I promised the kid we wouldn't try it again; they were fine with us opting out of that part of their covid study.)

We get an annual newsletter highlighting recent publications from the study, periodic random $20 checks after phone surveys, and -- oddly -- packages with birthday cards, holiday greetings, and small toys or coloring books every few months. I guess this is how you keep people active in longitudinal studies?
Not sure about fire (especially on this low power of a board)... but it's definitely not ideal. Just a thin layer of rubber (like a mat for kitchen cabinets cut to size) would be better if going for this sandwich style layout.
This has been known since the idea was first conceived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_domestic_product#Limitat...

The real issue is simply that, a lot of the things we want to convert to simple metrics can't be. Suppose I hand you a list of the exact rate each crime in a country was committed, and I ask you to convert that list to a single number, how would you do so? You could assign a weight to each crime, but how would you know which weights to use? What's the "true cost" of each crime?

Of course, in reality we won't know the real rate of any crime. We will have estimates, which are likely quite far from the truth.
So then calling it a release is misleading. I don't mind it being called a component or module of Next.js in the meantime, but release makes it seem like it is standalone.
I live in Ukraine. From 2015 till 2022 I didn’t read or watched news and no social media or blogs or analytics. Then war started. Now I follow news everyday, because I have to take care of my family’s security. I follow analytics of battlefields progress so if I see warning signs I would have to take decisions to move my family further to the western part.
I follow news on volunteers who help military so I can take action and donate help.
I follow politics, because corruption is still an issue and during war it’s like enemy inside.
I follow local authorities media so that I get info on local issues, warnings or even when humanitarian aid is available, so I can notify my neighbors-refugees from southern part to go get mattresses and pillows or diapers (thanks unicef).
I follow economic news so I can take action on my still little assets.

Seems too much. I have to dose and follow rules I set for myself. Some days I go off. Some are more filled with information.

People in Belgium watched news and decided to host my wife with infant during attack on Kyiv. Some journalists investigated that one judge had russian passport and citizenship. It created tensions and people pushed to president to solve the issue. Drop in an ocean and no guarantees of results, but it’s better than nothing.

I don’t praise media, but in my specific circumstances I need it.
Intermittency is not unreliability. Wind and solar are intermittent, but quite predictable -- especially in aggregate. A NPP like Civaux is unreliable. Unreliability is much worse and correlated unreliability is worst because you might have half of your fleet offline at the beginning of winter during an energy crisis with no notice.

It takes 100t of new Uranium at ~3.5% to bring an AP1000 online. Reprocessing reduces this by up to 15%

It takes 7.4kg of natural Uranium to produce 1kg of 3.5% enriched Uranium.

World production of Natural Uranium is 45,000t. Doubling this would allow bringing 6GW of new NPP on line per year. Increasing it tenfold would almost match the net power additions of renewables this year, but after one year of additions your new fleet would have under a decade worth of fuel.

Storage is only 'not solved' insofar as renewables + storage cost almost as much as nuclear for the same level of availability.

I used to like NPR a lot. I listened every single day on the way to work and back home. It seemed around 2013 or so the agenda became far less neutral and far more one-sided.

I haven't really found a source that is truly neutral. Reuters does an okay job and that's about it. Journalism is more-or-less dead in the era of eyeballs.
Disconnected cable 15 years ago. Deleted FB etc 10 years ago.

RSS feeds (including HN) are my only sources of news.
Football coaches, especially college coaches and high school coaches, have made comments regarding how Madden has changed the game in some ways, but it's mainly due to increasing the baseline knowledge of the game. Your typical new player might have watched some football games, and most of their coaching would involve a position coach teaching the specific position. There aren't that many coaching hours that aren't dedicated to the physical part of the sport, so it wasn't uncommon to find players with the right physiques for a position, and decent knowledge of how they had to play, but short in general "Football IQ".

As the games have become closer to a simulation, kids that are football fans get a lot free time where they control both the offense and the defense. They get to make calls, and see how every player in the team should move, and how it makes a difference. It in no way replaces actual football practice, but it boosts a lot of what you can ask a middling high school team to do.

Even in the pros, you'll hear people talk about how so-and-so is "like another coach, but on the field", because knowledge of the game overall, and the system they play in, matters. Years of videogame football, instead of having to learn even the very basics from scratch, makes things easier.
I see different kinds of news consumption people around me

1. Those who are so busy in local community/politics activities that they don't have time or interest in happenings far away in the world. They still consume some national news via printed newspapers.

2. Those who are so busy in tech work and consume only sources like hn and nothing else as far as regular news media. There's a subset of this who consume economic/financial news.

3. Those who are busy consuming all kinds of news media – cable tv, printed news, social media etc.

The number of people around me in #3 bucket is definitely dropping. I'm in #2 bucket and seem to be surrounded by more such people. I'm curious about people in #1 bucket.
> All CPUs have jump instructions. General purpose computation isn't possible without it.

Technically not true, a Turing machine in the original sense only moves its head one position at a time (and I can imagine some early drum memory CPUs might have operated like that in real life). Of course one can emulate a processor that has jumps on a machine like that.

> Even 'if' / 'while' / etc. are syntactic sugar for 'goto'.

Structured programming is not just syntactic sugar; it gives you important properties that you can't get from using goto directly, hence why so many languages discourage or ban goto.
I think we're still pretty far off from that. Graphics are still held back massively by processing power, and algorithms that significantly could improve visuals would have been developed by now if it were that easy.
I do agree reading fewer but fuller pieces is better. But I would not limit it to one place then you are only getting what the NYT is pushing.

I wish there was some credible government authority to clearly tell services they cannot offer SMS only 2FA, they cannot limit to “mobile phones only” (ie no Google voice), and they can’t restrict TOTP to one off proprietary tools like Authy. “Person is within USA with mobile phone plan” is hardly an authentication scheme.

Twitter might be dead in few years. But it doesn't mean some other Twitter clone would have replaced Twitter. People like novelty. People would migrate to other venues which will be novel rather than to Twitter clones. In current scenario, nothing is going to 'replace' Twitter. Think about TikTok. It is sort of killing FB. But is it FB replacement? No.

As a longtime user I thank your S/O, you're lucky to have them!
This is a fundamental effect because of the Shannon-Hartley theorem[1], which says your communication channel's capacity (i.e. bitrate) has a log dependency on the channel's Signal to Noise Ratio. In a practical wireline communication system, you have a transmitter with noise, a lossy interconnect, and a receiver with noise. As the interconnect gets longer, which is what happens when you go from on-die communication to die-to-die communication, your loss increases. This means you have to reduce your transmitter and/or receiver noise which requires using additional power.

Another way of looking at it is bit error rate [2].

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find concrete numbers since these designs are closely-guarded trade secrets. You might find some examples by searching for wireline transceiver / PHY papers on IEEE xplore, especially at ISSCC (conference) or in JSSCC (journal).

What sources of news are reliable on the conflict?

News addiction and constant interruptions are indeed very bad for focus.

A long time ago, like in the 90s, non professionnal traders on the stock market were the first to have this kind of problem. Depending on their trading style some cope by only reading the news during the week end.

For general news, there is a lot of content that follows this weekly pattern. But for folks that really want to focus on some project, maybe need to spend some months in the jungle or focus for weeks... Maybe it would be interesting to have monthly summaries, something that can help you catch up months in mere hours.

I personally would feel very unconfortable to completely unplug for many weeks without some way to catch up.
The CPU reports a max temperature of 49C during my testing. I don't think it's that bad, but I'll take your comment into consideration, a cheap case to cover it is probably better than taking that risk.
It’s not generally hated. It has a cadre of permacritics that are very vocal and often dramatic, and some of them often pop up in threads such as this one, that is all. It’s especially pathological since there are alternatives - if you hate Lennart, Redhat or whatever, use something else and move on.

Meanwhile millions are using it to get shit done without much drama. It’s been years since I filed a bug on systemd, but that’s what grown ups do when inevitable bugs are encountered, not make themselves and everyone miserable because they deeply integrated some dubious 1970s Unix philosophy into their personality.
> Government only grows

But, say, in western Europe, a ton of things used to be run solely by the government (water, energy production, steel, carbon, telcos, radio, tv, train, local transport, air transport, postal services) and have now moved out of the government purview, isn't that the opposite of "government always grows"?

I prefer a joint every 2-3 weeks. More frequently it takes a toll, I perceive. Less frequently I see myself missing something.
sort of. that also happens.

check marks look tied to popularity, leading one to wonder why arbitrarily less popular accounts have check marks. "it couldn't be anything besides connections could it?" its natural to wonder that way.

the reason exceptions to popularity resulted in blue checkmarks is because the popularity was only a correlation. the likelihood of your account being impersonated is a primary driver of verification.

so impersonation is the cause, this is correlated to a desire to want to impersonate which is tied to popularity, but nobody needs to be popular to be impersonated.

there is also a way to game that by... causing the impersonation yourself.

I would say that its coincidence people place any desire and covet on verification. Without that, the 'controversy' disappears and it is replaced by utility and consumer protection.
The wafer scale computing folks would disagree...
I'm not a huge fan of the scheme style programming languages although pretty standard even in Go templates because the parenthesis end up with ugly syntax that becomes difficult when using multiple levels, but Racket does seem cool. I found their guide on building web apps to be pretty amazing and I think that is what HN uses for their website.

> “Many people have suffered because of inept psychiatry”

Psychiatry has suffered from the transition to becoming prescribers of psychotropic drugs. It’s all most of them get trained in, but it wasn’t always this way.

I have a book by some good psychiatrists, circa 1947/1952. They helped patients with industrial gasses.

Milton Erickson was a good psychiatrist, who developed his own approach to hypnosis.

Some doctors help patients with thyroid and other gentle prescriptions.

“But Lin makes the case that there are chemical and industrial by-products that could account for the decades-long uptick in ASD, and that by uncritically embracing neurodivergence, we occlude the possibility of asking corporations and regulators to be responsible for what he believes is effectively poisoning people.”

One of the poisons behind autism is now the standard of care. Warned a 60yo friend about her daily use. Eventually she linked a dizzy spell to the poison, cut it out completely and it’s doing much better with Her overall achiness. Inflammation is a large part of the autism problem.
Yeah. I read this and was incredibly disappointed (Only 2 paragraphs on writing?). Then I scrolled back to the top and saw beneath the title: 'Preface to the 15th year Italian edition of The Black Swan'

So it seems this isn't even an essay, only a re-purposed preface for a book with a new title (seemingly) so that it can pull double-duty as a bit of content on Medium.

Meh.

> Well I guess that is the heart of our disagreement. The prefix in- means not. Intolerant literally means not tolerant. Not intolerant speech is by definition tolerant speech.

That is absolutely not the heart of the disagreement, just a weird definition that you're wrong about. The disagreement is fundamentally about whether tolerance for speech means allowing people you disagree with to speak.

Tolerant means you are tolerant toward others. Speaking is not itself an act of tolerance toward other people. I could make a post about Linux programming on Hacker News, that would not be tolerant toward trans people for example. It wouldn't be intolerant, it's just that it wouldn't be tolerant because I am not "tolerating" anybody when making such a post.

Or let's take another example in the strange gotcha twitter style you seem to be most comfortable communicating with: You posted an earlier comment which was "Yeah, insiders not knowing the full details of Musk's plan because Musk doesn't have a detailed plan yet seems more likely than WaPo just making some stuff up." There was nothing in that comment that showed an intolerance to Nazis attacking Jews, so you are saying you tolerate Nazis attacking Jews when you made that comment, right?

And there is nothing about the in- prefix of the word or anything else about it that means everything must be either tolerant or intolerant, that's ridiculous. Insoluble is the opposite of soluble, meaning it can't be dissolved. Does that mean your comment is insoluble because it is not soluble?
I haven't had any social media in nearly a decade (actually, probably a decade now). I'm regularly called ill-informed because I don't watch television news and I do my best to avoid any news on the internet. I listen to the radio mostly for entertaining talk shows and even those have been attempting to capture eyeballs (earballs?) with the latest in pseudo-journalism. I used to be really into NPR for a long time. The news seemed okay, but the shows were absolutely the best. Then at some point around 2013 they started doing away with more entertaining shows, and by 2016 it was all politics all day. Every talk show had some hot take on the latest event (usually from a deep left-leaning stance) and it drove me nuts.

I haven't found actual journalism. Reuters does an okay job most of the time. It's serviceable. The closest I've ever gotten to real journalism was the news feed in a trading platform I paid a lot of money for several years ago. Very "just the facts" - exactly how I like it.

"Journalists" have realized two things about modern media that I think lead us to this:

1. People LOVE drama. The more you can doll up a story to be a life-or-death fight, no matter how mundane or irrelevant, the better.

2. Since everything is on the internet there's no need to be right. 50 years ago when a newspaper, or news show released its information that was it. There was usually no easy way to redact parts of a story and not take massive heat for it. Now, we can watch news articles change in real time. You might say this is good but it leads to lazy journalism. Misinforming people and then pretending they had the right idea by the time they've edited the real story in.

I just stay away from most things now. Anything important enough to truly effect me I'll hear through other channels. It's a good enough filter. I don't need to be a "good global citizen" and take the burden of the world on my shoulders. My life is tough enough as it is.

It's telling that the British Museum doesn't address the elephant in the room: will they be returning the cloak to the Maori people?

If not, why not?

While it's laudible that they contribute conservation and reconstruction expertise to projects like this - they are well funded and this is in their mandate, after all - if the ultimate goal doesn't include a discussion of returning the cultural history to the people and places it was taken from, then this just more whitewashing of troubling colonial attitudes that continue to this day.
I was never much into world and political news cause either if it's left or right it's TV or Media programming that programs you with things that you have no idea are true or not. Definitely not one to let any TV/Media programming (it's called programming for a reason.. i guess) to program me via potential lies.

Overall I'm an independent thinker and fans of others who are too.

I do read my Google News feed daily but it's entertainment, music and tech news and I don't care if that media programming is lying to me. It's not news trying to control my life through facts I can not verify.
