For me it falls as a "dont care" if we use a Karnaugh map/truth table; i'd more likely believe that "looking somebody in the eyes" for conversation has evolved from some trust issues similar to hand-shaking to show a form of trust.

I've had many-a-day playing some relaxing/intense video games, all the while having very in-depth conversations with both people online (no eye contact there) as well as with people in the same room who were also playing video games.

People that think you are not paying attention just need to both learn and understand that not everybody is the same in how brain functions work; we are also taught to take notes in lectures as well, and as far as I recall, there was no staring the lecturer in the eyes while I was writing shit down... (and then mulling over data and questioning as needed)
If you have a functioning uterus and can give birth you should NOT be offended by being grouped with women.
That is exactly what I am referring to with "synthetic fuels". But this is actually not up to Airbus at all. Airbus cannot, by themselves, create a whole synthetic fuel supply chain. This would be an undertaking that the whole of Europe needs to do together. And Airbus do not produce their engines either. And there is no point in creating an aircraft that cannot be flown because no fuel for it is available.

"Trans people are like 1% of the population"

Most numbers I have seen are more like 0.1%
A great question. I’ve never had a coherent explanation from anyone. Maybe they think “more” (people, buildings, technology) necessarily means more destruction of the natural world and “consumption” of nature (ignoring the fact it’s more efficient in almost every way to service a dense population than that same population spread out thinly). Maybe they are somehow generally “anti-future” (strange since our past has been a very dirty one which we are now dealing with). Maybe they don’t believe that gleaming skyscrapers of nanowire and bio-crete, with “living walls” will ever be possible. Maybe they think all of this will only hasten the arrival of the dystopian type of future city. I wish I knew, but the reaction is often quite visceral. This leads me to believe it is driven by something deep and pre-rational. Maybe they feel that they will be alienated, that there is no place for them in such a futuristic place.
I realize that I might be illiterate on this topic, but I always thought the "shock" in "shock and awe" was the thorough evisceration of the defending army.

If I am incorrect in this thinking, I hope someone will give me a better understanding.
This is going to happen. The best way to handle this inevitable occurrence is to ticket this. The reviewer should ask for the ticket, and have the ticket linked. The ticket should ready to go, and the author of the code should have it ready to go as the "next thing" to get done, whether that's the follow up, or it's getting picked up in the next sprint so it doesn't get missed.

The code reviewer should also watch that ticket, and be prepared to assist it pushing it through.

If you just leave the task in the code, it will get lost. And, on occasion, the pressure of needing to write a ticket will get someone to just make the fix instead of having to create the ticket.
" because they think that they're better described as men."

Then why are they getting pregnant and having children? At least for the time they are pregnant and giving I will consider them to be women.
No one asks this as a first question… That is a strawman.

The situation is that you’re thinking there could be interest and are unsure. A lot of women are extremely reserved and as a straight man - anything short of a blatant no is not enough to stop because women don’t like to reveal their position often. A common story is a woman to completely ignore or harass a man and then later ask her friends, “do you think he likes me? God, he’s so attractive.” Many women will do anything they can to avoid showing how they feel about someone because they’re incredibly afraid of rejection. (Mainly cause most women never actually have to overcome rejection - men do it for them)

Dating women is much different than men. It’s very different. All the gay men in my life are endlessly perplexed by the stories they hear from their straight male friends.
The point of PoW is to make money hard to create, unlike state money (fiat).

You could say gold, silver or basically any store of value use PoW too: they require a considerable amount of time and energy to obtain. If you could just use dirt as money, it would be worthless as anyone could produce some effortlessly. It's the basis of sound money.

Bitcoin currently uses about 85TW/year of energy for its mining. Estimations for the traditional finance system seem to be around 2000TW/year. Factoring the amount of transactions, Bitcoin is about 50 more efficient per transaction (accounting transportation, paper and coin production, datacenters, energy used by banks). Its energy usage is also independent of the amount of transactions, so it becomes more efficient as the number of transactions grow.
For a whole house that sounds reasonable? I’m at 4200 kWh a year with only 2 people in a 60 m² apartment. Durchlauferhitzer, but still.

The link you posted even mentions a range of 14,000 - 28,000 kWh for houses not built for efficiency.
Several Maryland jails have tablets for inmates. Complete with video calling, messaging (monitored email and SMS), IHeartRadio, Pluto, Tubia, Coursera, Khan Academy and a bunch of games.

These are state and county institutions, not federal. So I can only imagine what's up at the Feds.
Serious question and not snarky (despite appearances): How come you comment on HN? It looks like it falls in addictive experiences, albeit maybe necessary to keep on top of IT news. If the theory of “quitting” was right, we wouldn’t see anyone commenting about quitting while still online. I’m asking because I wonder how to keep on top of things / what part should news-reading take in my less-dopamine life.
Can anyone elaborate on the pros and cons of nvlink in comparison to e.g. rdma over infiniband/roce, or pci-e?
It is for that reason why online meeting tools like Zoom, MS Teams, etc., should provide an option to hide your own video from yourself – I believe one’s own video is a massive source of distraction from concentrating on other persons in a conversation.
Thank you!
The SRCF is incredibly useful. Long may it continue.
It has to do with both, but the rate of growth of knowledge and progress have been made possible by the abundance of energy. If you remove energy even in a developed society, people go back to surviving.
I built a distraction free writing app in 2012 to help me write, and it has been the single greatest distraction of all. it was successful, becoming the number one writing app on Windows store for years. I now have thousands of users, and it makes a tiny bit of money each month, and supporting and fixing bugs takes up most of my spare time. I have to date not managed to finish more than a sketchy first draft of a novel using the software I wrote to help me write.
The real problem is that most of the people there (black, white, and others) reject the mental frameworks that have been proven to work elsewhere, perhaps due to distrusting the West, or for whatever other reason.

In my mind this mental framework features capitalism, democracy, and a style of thinking that emphasizes - or at least accommodates - kindness, openness, progress, thinking in nuances. Basically, humanism.

From my experience there, some population groups will reject ideas they see as white, which includes capitalism (origin: probably Europe?) but not communism (origin: Germany!). Others, including white folks, might feel inclined to embrace those "white" ideas specifically, but will reject other parts of the Enlightenment framework. Many think problems should be solved by force instead of careful and nuanced consideration, which is seen as effeminate.

Corruption is more of a symptom than a cause.
That's not a problem either, you keep a 24-word seed phrase as a backup. That's what goes in your deep cold storage. This has been well-known basic practice for years now.

An emerging option is social recovery, as advocated by Vitalik. There are phone wallets now that let you have, say, 3 of 5 recovery, where the five are trusted friends/family or even a business or two.
I agree that we'll probably need to start making a lot more fresh water. I am however confused by the suggestion that any large portion should go towards dumping it in existing watersheds. I would have though that the simplest and most robust thing to do would be just to pipe it directly to existing customers and reservoirs. While many of the reservoirs are actually on rivers, many aren't, and even for those that are, filling way upstream seems incredibly round-about. I looked through the article and couldn't find any real explanation for why this would be reasonable.
Powershell isn't a terminal (it's a shell, obviously), so the windows results are most likely tested in conhost. If it's on windows 11 it might be windows terminal, which may be more likely since I think cmd is still default on windows 10.

In most other countries this same problem is solved by raising prices. Which is better seems a subjective question - the zavway at least gives low income people access to some reasonably priced electricity.
This is why I set up linting rules to error when people push "TODO" comments.

Either just do it, or put a work item in the place where you actually track work (Jira or equivalent) so it has at least a chance of getting done. Otherwise you'll end up with the typical 5-to-10 year old TODO comment from a completely different era that helps nobody.

If you're going to leave a comment, leave context around why the hacky solution was chosen at the time of writing, and why you didn't do the "correct" alternative.

Exaggerating for effect, but I think the tech you described for most nations relative to developement capabilities is basically magic, and most F35 partners will be relatively secure in their back yards. Realistically we're talking about PRC assembling those pieces together (especially Jilin/Gaofen tier space infra) in short/medium term. I've doubts they plan to export the system, except perhaps to MENA. Hence I think geoeconomics of F35 program is a huge success despite technical / future proofing merits, that likely won't be issue outside of peer warfare for decades. Concern of course is we might have peer warfare sooner.
The argument sounds like "1. consciousness is not Turing-complete. 2. Here is a process that is not Turing-complete. 3. Therefore, this process must explain consciousness.", which is a bit naive. Just because of some shared properties, it does not need to form the basis for consciousness. But even so, it should be investigated carefully - ideological biases in either direction are not helpful.

I hope I will live long enough to see that researchers can measure an actual thought, even if I may not live long enough to see that we understand how it is represented.

(No "grandmother cell", but also no, not high level MRI "there's more activity in this region", that's not good enough.)
Don’t bother with emails. The only way to deal with companies like this is to write a formal physical letter. Look up the process for filing a claim in the small claims court in Ireland. I would guess that the Irish system is probably pretty similar to the UK system. Try to google for the Irish equivalent of the Citizen’s Advice Bureau they will have free online advice for small claims. In the UK the CAB supplies a template letter you can use to notify that you have a problem and are considering a claim. See if you can find the equivalent from an Irish consumer rights organisation. Use thier advice to understand the implications of starting this process. If appropriate you then use this template to write a letter to the registered headquarters letting them know that you have a problem, what you want them to do and what your next steps will be if you get no response within a time limit (typically 28 days). If you still get no response and the Irish system works like the UK the small claims court process is all online and you don’t need to attend court it’s all done by filing out forms and paying a small fee. The difference being that because Ireland is in the EU you can enforce your consumer rights from any other EU country but UK citizens no longer have that right. If there’s someone from Ireland here who knows more about how the process works there, maybe they could help?
DX coding was a clever solution for sure. As a longtime camera collector and film photographer, however, I shake my fist at manufacturers who made cameras that could read only a few DX codes, e.g., 100 and 400, and for films with other DX codes would set the camera to ISO 25 or something useless like that with no way to manually adjust ISO on the camera.
Too late.

You’re seeing couples often are they’ve been together for a while. Many men workout and get into good physical shape.

Later they stop going to the gym cause they have someone. Their appetite doesn’t change but their exercise routine did. They gain fat.

This is why you see a ton of overweight dudes with women that seem more physically attractive than them. The guys were in shape - they just got fat once they were together because he didn’t need to workout to get the girl anymore.

This is the overwhelming majority of overweight men with thin women that you’ll see.

Same with baldness - etc.

People should look at the couples when they first got together.
The original order was for 750 airframes, so not likely. The main reason production ended completely is that the contract didn't allow for export (unlike the F-35) and the sole buyer stopped ordering planes.
> the "premed" undergraduate degree (which doesn't exist)

Yes there's no undergraduate major named "premed". There's no need to be pedantic. But US medical schools generally require a 4-year undergraduate degree (BA or BS) and certain coursework (biology and chemistry, among others). [1][2]

> will somehow lead to reduced healthcare costs

And yes, I'm saying that if it takes a couple years less to train a doctor - by letting them go directly to medical school after high school and doing the prereq coursework there over maybe 5.5-6 years instead of the current 4 - that will lead to lower healthcare costs. Not sure why that's so controversial of a statement. It's simple supply and demand.

Not to mention in Vietnam, the Navy F4s that didn't have guns (and usually didn't bother with gun pods) were way more successful than the Air Force (who always flew with gun pods and eventually added an internal cannon to their planes). The issue was that they both (Navy and Airforce) initially only trained against other F4s, instead of against planes that were comparable to what they faced over Vietnam. The Navy setup schools to retrain their pilots to not drop speed to try and line up gun runs, and trained against other US planes that were more comparable to the Russian planes. Eventually the airforce adopted similar training regimes.
Doesn't seem to go so well, does it?
Um, I'm saying just the founder of Uniswap got rich. I think you'll find that the founders of traditional exchanges, banks, and other businesses in legacy finance also tend to get quite rich. They also provide essential services to the rest of us.

(And Hacker News is a forum run by ycombinator, whose whole point is the founding of new companies, with the goal of making a few people rich and, hopefully, providing valuable services to lots more people.)
Sure, including ones that should have been apparent without any sophisticated analysis:

For example, FTX was giving people 8%/yr 'yield' just for funds deposited there in spite claiming to not invest customer funds.

The claim that his fund earned >$10/billion over two years on a trivial arb with Korean exchange was also an obvious red flag (and asking people with relevant experience would have got an answer that this not a credible claim).

The heavy involvement with and promotion of extremely illiquid and self-made tokens was also pretty suspect, but not unique to FTX. Looking at my messages, I see that I specifically highlighted 'the ftx website lists something called a "3x leveraged shitcoin index token"'

... or the fact that they offered 100x leverage.

Who knows what more would have been found if any investigation or critical questions were applied.

These specific red flags were clear enough for me-- and other people I know, to yank most of their funds from LedgerX when SBF acquired it.

Any journalist writing about SBF/FTX would have had access to much more information that I did. E.g. I didn't see the videos of him obviously tweaking in interviews, nor the easily visible tweets by Ellison about how boring life is when off amphetamines. But someone spending a half hour googling the involved parties would easily have found these additional red-flags.
Easily exchanging fiat to and from crypto is a requirement for normal users, as is something like a bank who actually manages the process.

If you want this all to be an unregulated wild west of scams, eventually you won't have any normal users left as they all lose their shirts and eventually wise up. All you'll have left is crypto propeller heads (and the rubes too clueless to catch on to the risk associated with exchanges), and with such a small potential user base it'll never be useful for any practical application.
You can either solve the problem with money, or you can change human behavior with regulatory burden that ultimately depends on force.

I'd think you're way better off just solving the problem. Someone else called this "solutionism." Well, this article makes an exceptionally good case that the amount of input cost justifies the output economic activity by more than order of magnitude... so with this in hand, what would the justification be for forcing unnecessary changes in human behavior?
They are presumably more fuel efficient than previous generations of aircraft the are replacing, no?

"Why did you do this with that technology instead of this completely different one?"
> Bitcoin is absolutely scarce

So what? Scarcity doesn't confer value by itself.

> Bitcoin's issuance is fixed in time

Why is that a good thing? All it means is the system is inflexible.

> Bitcoin can be stored in your head

It's imaginary?

> Bitcoin can be sent at the speed of light

Obviously not literally true. Is it meaningfully faster than other ways to transmit?

> Bitcoin can be verified by anyone, easily and cheaply

That may be true, but how advantageous is it really?
If you know C, retroforth's nga vm is ~300 lines and quite simple. I found it to be enlightening.

If we produce huge quantities of clean water by desalination of sea water, we will produce huge quantities of brine.

What do we do with this brine? Certainly not dumping it in the sea?

"Solutionism" is a fantastic word for this particular slur, since it gets to the heart of why technological solutions to our problems are not considered: because they might solve the problem, thereby robbing the politicians of their ability to wield the problem as a weapon against the population.
While I would love to agree, I even like it better to see statistics about this. What are biggest lever for saving water? Would you mind sharing?
First, you are getting this casualty reversed if you think a few thousand billionaires just drop on a poor country, raising GDP. What happens is wealthy countries give rise to wealthy elite, and poor countries have poorer elite. The billionaire's income cannot just be added to GDP, and removing the billionaire does not reduce GDP by the amount of his income.

We can do a thought experiment -- let's say Taylor Swift makes $100 million. Does that mean she increases GDP by $100 million? No, because part of that $100 million is taking money away from other uses, e.g. someone with a fixed entertainment budget going to see her instead of doing something else. Only the resulting increase in overall income -- if any -- is the measure of how much Taylor adds to GDP.

GDP is the sum of total final production in an economy, and while a billionaire may play an important role in organizing production and encouraging more production to happen, it's usually the case that if they were never born or left, the economy would continue with other replacements for the billionaire's contribution. The replacements would be less efficient and so output would be a bit smaller. That difference is the contribution to GDP, not the billionaire's entire income.

And if you talk about Saudi oil princes, then they are not producing anything at all. Make those Oil princes disappear, and Saudi Arabia's GDP would be unchanged. Actually it would certainly increase, since imports subtract from GDP and those oil princes like to stash their wealth overseas and import luxury goods.

Bottom line, please don't confuse household income with national income, they are different beasts, and you cannot increase or decrease national income in a material way by adding or removing rich households to the country, anymore than you can make a business increase or decrease in revenue by paying the CEO more. Rather, CEOs of high revenue companies earn more, and those of lower revenue companies earn less. You can't just look at a company that is earning less revenue and say "Oh, just add a few thousand highly paid executives to the company, and the revenue will be way up".
Conversely though, how many people are killed in the world every single day simply because of human error?
When (in the US) a 16 year old gets their license, we don't ask them to provide a formal proof of their driving technique that shows it's impossible for them to ever get in a crash. We say 'you've had the training, you've demonstrated that you can safely drive, be careful out there'.
The problem I have with this is that it’s indistinguishable from “don’t protect the sheep from pyramid schemes. It’s their own weakness, let us prey on them.”
> BTW, the column that I interpreted as "indoor plumbing" in the Rosstat document that I linked was "водопроводом". To me it means plumbing...

"Водопровод" is "water supply", not "plumbing" in general.

Synthetic fuels is usually referring to synthetic kerosene which you can just feed into the existing jets as JET-1A.

Hydrogen is very-very different and needs complete redesign of the plane.

Hydrogen availability is pretty good, I mean most of the availability is not much better in CO2 emissions but with the time it would take Airbus to get the plane into commercial service getting the supply chain there would be pretty easy.

I still don't buy your argument that poor airbus has nothing it can do. If it wants to stay relevant in the 20-40 year horizon it needs to go at these hard problems now. If it doesn't then it has made a decision and might die, so what?
