Just makes one wonder why the binance guy even stirred the pot initially with FTX, like 3 possibilities exist:

1. He assumed the blowout would be minimal outside of FTX and/or assumed FTX was shady but not as bad as it turned out

2. He acknowledged the possibility that binance will also get scrutiny but realized FTX was just so bad that letting it fester further will only get him arrested faster too.

3. He’s just another idiot who made money lucky.

Curious which it is.

I mean, I don't call Germany Deutschland either, so I don't really think it's ignorance. Nor do I call Prague "Praha" except when I'm actually speaking Czech. Kiev is much easier for native English speakers to pronounce, and I'm not going to switch to a more unwieldy pronunciation to make some sort of political point.
It's doesn't even have to be $5/month. Make a $10 deposit required for creating an account, and for each offense against the guidelines, you get a "fine" that proportional for the severity of the infraction (uncivil discussion? $0.10 cents, participating in hell-threads? $0.50. Comparing HN with reddit? $1.337 Obvious spam? Your whole $10 is gone.) Repeat offenses get exponentially more expensive, and you only get to post with a positive balance.

Well, I don't think I am. I think the easier it is for me to get a clone of my phone, the easier it is for someone else to get it. If at&t makes it really hard to get a clone, okay, but that makes the offering less useful. A seven day waiting period might make fraud less lucrative, but it also means I'm without a phone for a week, so what's the point

Unix/Posix time doesn’t include leap seconds (it’s 86400 seconds per day, always, per definition [0]), whereas UTC, taken as a count of actual seconds, does include leap seconds. So you are right that converting between them requires additional data. However, few applications care about converting between Unix time and that notion of UTC, but instead care about converting between Unix time and calendar dates and times of day and time zones, which is easier with Unix time than with a UTC seconds count. So I think you’re mixing things up here.

You (thankfully) mustn't know many crypto/optionbros.
It’ll be interesting if we soon come to a day when a comment can be suspected to be from a bot because it’s too coherent and smart!
Yes, Yes. Zem Vaderz can be very diffucult to handle.

Agreed! I had one too and you could do real work on it like spreadsheets and documents. I feel it worked better than current phones and tablets.
It's part of the deal where I worked. I think the whole bad framing of game development is a bit one dimensional. It is a dream job in a very tough saturated market, often with perks inside the office, awesome release parties, passionate coworkers etc. You are missing out on the huge paycheck and work-life balance, but you got many other things. Already it is a privilege to have a job working on games. Not forced to work there, not forced to have a fun job for average pay.

You mean motivated people with stronger work ethics? There’s a lot more to life than being smart.
What do you mean by “neutral”?
Which is probably one of the best sources of good discussion on the internet.
Well, if the definition of "net energy" keeps expanding to include more of the experimental infrastructure, that is progress and we are just splitting hairs about wording - which is a real waste, considering they are one of the few groups with consistent tangible experimental improvements.

In 2021, that was 1.3 megajoules, or net in comparison to the energy absorbed by the fuel. This is a bigger milestone at 2.5 megajoules, since it is in reference to the energy in the lasers themselves.
That's exactly how it should work, any legal system worth its salt should base consumer laws on consumer expectations and not any company's opinion. It's too easy for companies to produce a 300 pages document saying "you have no rights to anything, click accept" and that's why terms of services for consumer products cannot work.
How is "surprising" defined and who decides? Can this be abused sonehow?
Twitter hadn't been shipping a whole lot of features to grow the business while it was a public company. The baseline is pretty low.
Giving GPT3 Memories
I like it. The structure of the code you write looks much more similar to what you would write on a piece of paper than Haskell (for instance, getting rid of in, the pulling into scope at the top). Not to mention the primitive version of the language also resembles how you would write in math much better than lambda calculus (which I acknowledge probably was never a goal of lambda calculus).

This doesn't present any examples of something that would be useful in the real world. But come-on, this was presented at a Haskell conference it looks like.

For anybody with an interest in the "mathish" flavor of functional languages, this certainly has a lot of promise as a foundation to build on.
Wow These look like fish dicers. Not to say that propellers don’t already dice fish, these just look the part too.
Actually, from the terms of service:

Don't get me wrong, unrealized gains are a useful and great thing to have. I would rather have them over nothing any day. However, you can't get that off your books without realizing gain at some point. It pushes tax burden into the future, but doesn't eliminate it
I'd like to hear more about your idea of unifying themes. Can you give me some more concrete examples. How would nationalism (or did you mean patriotism) and shared heritage work in the United States?
I think the concern is that those hoops don’t represent or equal quality management.
I am a fan of Simon PJ and an avid Haskeller, but very underwhelmed with this presentation. This is a simple rehash of logic programming with some stuff about the metaverse thrown in. I expect more. This is the haskell equivalent of crypto-bro hype.

I am equally surprised by the novelty that some people seem to have when encountering this language. As far as I can tell, nothing of real novelty was added to the corpus of PL knowledge. It's really a straightforwards logic language. These are notoriously hard to program in for one person, especially when things get interesting (i.e. cuts). I can only imagine how awful such a thing will be if multiple people were doing this.
I agree, but in that case we can learn from the bots instead of wincing at regurgitated material.

Basically, if it improves thread quality, I'm for it, and if it degrades thread quality, we should throw the book at it. The nice thing about this position is that comment quality is a function of the comments themselves, and little else.
Everyone seems to unison on keeping it off any exchange or any other unregulated scam. If Casa Hodl goes with your money you almost deserve it
If there's one thing I got tired of doing over two decades is changing settings. I switch machines often enough, so I just use the defaults.

Eclipse: light mode
Android Studio: light mode.
IntelliJ: light mode
VS Code: dark mode
Text editing: light mode
vim: dark mode (depends)

Windows cmd: black background
MacOS terminal: white background, unless I bother to launch a Pro themed window.
Linux (Ubuntu): black terminal, white
FreeBSD: black

Whatever is there. The only customization I do is I manually edit my .vimrc and dump settings from memory.

My eyes are doing fine, no glasses so far.
Very accurate. The dysfunction of congress led to a much slower economic recovery after the GFC due to sequestration and partisan debt ceiling games. Then went far the other way with huge tax cuts, huge spending, followed by even more spending by the current admin, and claim surprise at the resulting inflation. If we do have a recession coming, we are in a very bad position to cushion it at the moment due to political partisanship.
What I wrote was based on my own observations. I tried looking up

This talks about IOP changes on using smart phones. And it increases more when done in low light.

See the section on illumination

"For recognition tasks, visual acuity is greatly affected by the level of background luminance. (Graph)

One theory put forward by Hecht is that within the rod population and within the cone population, there are differing sensitivities which are distributed randomly. Therefore, at high luminance, all cells are active for a high level of visual acuity. At low luminances, only cells sensitive to that level of luminances are active and because they are distributed randomly, the retinal mosaic is coarser thus a lower level of visual acuity is achieved (Graham, 1965).

Another possible explanation is that under limited quantal availability, quantal capture is more probable in the para-central and peripheral retinal due to greater spatial summation. Since photoreceptors density in this area is low, resolution is poorer. As light levels increase, quantal capture occurs more successfully at the central retinal (macula and fovea). A higher level of visual acuity is achieved due to the high photoreceptor density.
"

I am not sure what all of these terms mean but I guess some good sources for you to check out. Do share if you find something interesting.
For me it’s an issue of seasonal depression. I get really agitated over the weeks and months of it being drab during the winter months, until I feel severe cabin fever in January or so and my mental state gets really, really bad, like “I’m going to book a flight to Miami and leave right now everything else be damned” sort of crazy. It’s not really a fun time.

I don’t mind working in a dark room, but if I do it for weeks at a time I’ll start to have problems if I’m not getting bright lights at other times (which during winter there aren’t many opportunities for).

It also has the hilarious added effect of totally blowing out my laptops webcam and making me look like I have an angelic halo of light atop my head.
How will you know? Or is the idea to ban fully automated bot accounts?

As an aside, it would be interesting to setup a parallel HN site that mirrors HN posts and generates completely bot generated comments.
I didn't like dark mode since the beginning, it was too much effort on my eyes. During the day, the room is well lit, why do we need a dark mode at all. And when it is night, we probably shouldn't be working. Or at least switch on the lights, we wouldn't want a dark mode then.
The typo isn’t repeated in section 14.2, however it’s still wrong, as the correct name is BITINT_MAXWIDTH.
The thing is you could implement a real ID system that was still pseudonymous at the user level so that you only prove real personhood at account creation. Kind of like a Twitter blue check but just for human authenticity instead of notoriety. It could even be tied back to the real person account anonymously on the admin side so you could mass ban alts automatically if people started to create bad bots. It should all be doable with current encryption the biggest issue is we don’t have key to real person really setup at any level. Maybe something like keybase combined with the KYC tech used for banks and exchanges could bridge that gap.
If you have enough money you can push it into the future more or less indefinitely.
When the team doesn't talk synchronously. So many times I've seen folks post a question that needs swift response to some issue tracker and then act indignant when they are held accountable for the thing not getting done. The answer is almost always "well no one responded until 3 days later".

Yes well no one asked you to leave some text on a server somewhere and hope someone sees it. They asked if you could do X by Y time and you said YES.
Presumably this means no more leap seconds to be added but we'll be stuck with the ones we've got?
I initially thought rockets were not reusable because it was literally impossible to reuse them. I thought the launch and reentry damaged them beyond repair. Reentry modules require huge heat shields to protect the craft from being destroyed by atmospheric ablation. How is it possible for these things to launch into high altitudes and not only survive reentry but land safely?

It does sound kind of stupid to just let the engines and stages free fall into the ocean now that you mentioned it. I'm not sure how advanced Musk's rockets are but if they can land safely after being staged then that's an amazing innovation. Why isn't NASA all over this if it's so revolutionary?

Sorry about that, I didn't realize this before I shared it. I had no agenda in sharing it, I did see that it had some Ukrainian contributions listed. I found it because I was trying to find the creator of Filler, when I stumbled upon this list. And not that anyone asked, but I am a Wisconsinite and I support Ukraine.
WTFPL has an interesting niche that grants rights to use code for any purpose, but includes no disclaimers.
The biggest issue is GPT is often confidently incorrect about things but is good enough to sound confident/authoritative so if people got into the habit of using it the signal to noise ratio would degrade.
Because contractors charge you however much money you have available, which is how construction costs magically go up and down with home market values. I have a list of them I will not be using during this downturn.
The focus on temperature is a bit off in my opinion. Warming the planet by a few degrees centigrade should be thought of as massively increasing energy into the weather system. This will necessitate a period of dramatic “turbulence” (wild local swings) while a new equilibrium is established. This will potentially cause massive disruption in the world order.

There is also the fact that making areas like Siberia more habitable in terms of temperature isn’t exactly helpful if it doesn’t have soil conducive to growing food or for enough infrastructure to house large numbers of people. It’s a much better investment of time/wealth to spend it on mitigation than what humanity currently focuses on.

Life on Earth will continue regardless of what we do. What may not continue is how we currently live.
Two words for truth? (2016)
This is just popular scientific journalism/clickbaiting, they also claim it "provides unlimited, cheap, clean power" which is also not true precisely speaking.
Carbs cause Alzheimers. As you age, your insulin resistance rises, but you still eat the same amount (or more) of carbs while simultaneously exercising far less.

Eat a ketogenic diet and you don't have to worry about Alzheimers.
Same, I thought it was super fun! A very well-made middle-class action movie. I wish there were more like it. And I 100% agree with the comparison to Venom.
2 chapters in. Very good and makes you think. Truly impressive way of teaching how data is pivotal. The introduction reminds me of Peter Norvig's talk. I also like the point below of data is code, it is very profound.
Telepresence and teleoperation is a natural extension of VR.

The article doesn't make it obvious but that's not the size of the galaxy, that's the size of the part of the sky they looked through. They make it sound like they looked through 100,000 galaxies in that sliver of sky and found the 2-4 older-than-anything-we've-seen-before galaxies.
I had an odd path to reading Le Carre novels - I first read The Pigeon Tunnel, his autobiography. After that I decided to read all of his novels... and then after the surprise ending in The English Patient, I told my partner I was done with them. I'd guess they're about 50% unhappy endings, 25% happy, 25% unresolved. Then a few weeks later I'd inevitably pick up a new one. All I have left to read now is The Russia House.
This wouldn’t be possible in an even remotely compatible fashion, due to C++’s name mangling, among many other reasons.
Real person ID isn't a solution since real persons can always consort with bots on the side.

I think anonymity and pseudo-anonymity still have a place and contribute a lot to discussion quality. So do people posting under their real names. We don't know how this is all going to play out yet.
Gah, it's too late for an edit. That should read "an app store".

Sorry.
> that is progress and we are just splitting hairs about wording - which is a real waste

we (those who don't have deep expertise) trying to understand what is "breakthrough" and "net energy" in this case comparing to previous claims. Your explanation added some value on this, thank you.
I was talking to a friend the other day about how it feels like manhua/longstrip webtoon comics has yet to experience its creative peak.

Looking back at the history of manga, it is possible to see how new innovations have played with and manipulated standard ideas of paneling and framing to produce fascinating and artistic work. A seemingly constrained format (small-size black-and-white comic book) becomes a canvas for extraordinary creative expression.

Longstrip comics are not worse than manga, of course, but it feels like creators have yet to explore the edges of the format. What can a longstrip do that a traditional book can’t? How can the limitations of the format be turned into strengths? I wonder if this will come to pass, and how long it will take.
Great question! Turboprops spin way slower so even though they’re larger the resulting tip speed is slower.

E.g., turbo prop (source https://www.quora.com/How-fast-is-the-tip-of-a-turboprop-bla...)

I double checked this math and got 474mph.

Meanwhile a Piper Arrow (4-seater piston, pretty comparable numbers to most Lycoming/Continental singles) takes off at 2700 rpm and has a 74” propeller, for a tip speed of 594mph. You can use a 3-blade propeller to reduce the diameter and cut noise somewhat (among other benefits).

Both of these are just the tip speed relative to the plane, I suppose you’d need to factor the airspeed too and use Pythagorean theorem but I’m no aerospace engineer.

As you noted, this is possible because the constant-speed prop on the turboprop allows it to take larger bites of air.

The Arrow needs that rpm to produce full takeoff power. However after takeoff it can be adjusted to a lower speed with minimal loss in power (e.g., 2500 rpm greatly reduces noise while losing 7-8% power). To reduce RPM like that in a fixed pitch you’d also need to reduce manifold pressure, causing more power loss.
The problem with ChatGPT is that it often reads authoritative. But is often just flat out wrong.

I asked it a few questions for which I consider myself a subject matter expert and the answers were laughably wrong.

Until you die. At which point your heirs get a "stepped up basis" to the date of your death without paying any capital gains tax, under the theory that they pay estate tax instead. But estate tax starts at $10M or so these days. And don't worry if you have more money than that - you've got enough breathing room to create irrevocable trusts to skip estate tax and distribute income directly to your low tax bracket decedents in perpetuity.

For an example of how much the IRS theoretically cares about not being able to kick income down the road - basically the entirety of retirement savings regulations revolve around the controlled ability to do just that.
If you take anything from Wikipedia seriously that is politically charged, then you clearly aren't paying attention. That, or you're part of the problem.
Traveling as tourist sucks, you go in “tours” looking everything from outside, expecting the end of it. But what can you do when you only have limited holidays for vacation, your little time free from work (which is your main activity.) Off-course you are not traveling like as nomad people do, it is leisure for you.
Tourism is a big economic chunk, the places you are going are counting on your money (that you got by working.) You are spending it for everything.
Moving from one place to another, riding some transport machinery that your own body can assimilate as fast, staying for less time that would take you to walk there and quickly moving back. A glimpse of time spend, the fading memory.
Experience something different from home, so similar to make sense and respond to the surroundings as you normally would. Partly because you are not giving up you life, your comfort, for such moment.

I think these are all great points! I have came across Concourse CI, but have not looked too deeply into it yet.

I hadn't thought to use TOML for configuring CI pipelines, I'm curious what that might look like. TOML is indeed very flat, so it would be interesting to see what the equivalent TOML pipeline looks like compared to a YAML one.
