And the sources are completely wrong at best, and intentionally deceiving the public and congress at worse.

The relevant measure used to arrive at this claim is Q-plasma. This is the ratio of the laser energy which actually reaches the reaction chamber vs. the heat produced in the reaction. In this case, that is, based on initial claims, 1.2. That sounds impressive.

It's not. The problem is that Q-plasma is meaningless. All that matters is total energy input, vs. electrical power produced, or as it is commonly called, Q-total. Even the best plasma lasers have an efficiency of 10%. This means that 10 times more energy is required than actually reaches the chamber. Add to this that converting heat to electricity is at best 50% efficient, and the estimated Q-total of this experiment is a measly 0.06.

In other words, far from being a massive achievement, it is an absolute nothing burger. 21 megajoules in. 1.25 megajoules out.

This nonsense has got to stop.
> It's wild to me that people just accept albums being removed and think "oh well, guess I just can't listen to that any more." Not to mention I have a decent chunk of music I listen to that just isn't available on any streaming services.

I think the average Spotify customer might have a different listening behavior than you. From my personal experience, I have never had an album I listen to regularly be removed. I'm not saying it doesn't happen I'm just saying I bet it doesn't impact many people. And I don't know anyone who has a lot of music they listen to that's not on Spotify, if any. Again, not saying what you're saying isn't true, just that I think you're not the average Spotify customer.

> For a SaaS app, wouldn't that copyright attribution be on the server side, where the code is (hidden from the end user)?

I'm curious about this because the end user's browser is where the (copied) code is run, not on the server. That's why they need to hot-load additional code from Ghost's CDN, rather than doing so on build servers.

"Utilize" first arose in 1807 if Merriam-Webster is to be believed, well past the period you're quoting; and "dost" should agree with the number of its noun "senses". ("dost" is second-person, but you need something third-person.) In this context I also don't really like the continuous present of "are you utilizing", but I can't put words to why. I believe "hast thou taken leave of thy senses" is actually recorded to be idiomatic.

By the way, ChatGPT suggests (where I've fixed its analogous error in the word "doth"):

> Pray tell, wherefore dost thou employ the term 'contrariwise'?
This article would be way more useful if it named the offending drivers and linked to relevant github issues. As is this is just a set of useless curiosities.

I came in wanting to check if any of the drivers I use were affected by any of the bugs they found. No idea!
> Linux it is... dependent on what application you are using and wildly frustrating

What other application uses something else than CTRL+C for copying on Linux? Been using various Linux flavors for decades and the only application that requires a different shortcut than CTRL+C is terminals, as they already use CTRL+C for something else.

Otherwise I can't think of a single application using something else than CTRL+C.

The +9% average is long-lived and covers periods with drawdowns so no abnormality there.
Lunar samples could have been returned by unmanned vehicles at a fraction of the cost of Apollo. The Russians did just that! Maybe not hundreds of kilograms, but enough to get the major science results (moon is evolved not primitive, oxygen isotopes, volatile depletion, europium anomaly). Unmanned vehicles could even have reached the polar regions, which Apollo never could do.
You know, that seems like a rather easy study to do.

Topically apply two compounds to either side of a minor wound and see which side heals faster and better.

Seems like with a large enough sample the truth would become clear pretty fast.

For point 1 ... it depends on the timescale. In the fullness of time, surely a significant portion of images will be unavailable. From the perspective of allowing other researchers to work from the "same" baseline "today", this is likely good enough. In a generation from now, if someone wants to reproduce results from some landmark model trained against this dataset, we'd have problems. In other fields where people publish or share their datasets, would this be considered sufficient?

For point 2, I think it's possible that for some narrow topics, some domains have a significant share of images. I think these can affect the model, which is in part why they give special attention to watermarking. Suppose instead of merely watermarking images, for every image on my large collegiate track and field website I make sure someone is wearing a garment with a visible Nike swoosh. Can I skew the model towards associating Nike with the sport? I think this kind of thing may be achievable for niche areas.

When I went back to school, I went to community college while freelancing to pay for it. I saw some of that hand-holding you refer to, but I discovered that after I was admitted (and took some remedial math because I'd blown that off in high school), it could largely be avoided. The university had an all-but guaranteed transfer program from community college; I satisfied the requirements and had a stellar GPA (versus "clueless teenagers," as you put it, go figure). Not a single step along the way was easy; but suffering the indignity of a bit of hand-holding wasn't the hard part. Tune out, smile, and do the paperwork. Make sure that you're meeting the actual requirements of the university you want to get into.

I'm the only person I know that both holds a PhD and went to community college. A non-standard resume like mine isn't great for getting jobs. Networking, networking, networking.

Having read the study, methodologies, and conclusions: This looks like a wonderful bit of science. I appreciate the stepped approach they took to determining a potential best path forward. I find it exciting how it consistently improved outcomes on the wounds. It's particularly fascinating to me that it works in combination with the hydrogen peroxide, and that helps the process, not hinders it (it hinders it without cbd or thc).
Assuming the paper isn't a gigantic fabrication to be retracted or disputed, then this is a rather exciting time. I know many who suffer from skin lesions, and even reducing their healing time by 10% would be miraculous. Steroid creams work wonders too, but the toll it takes on the body is severe after the years pile up.
Somewhat ironic that we just reduced RAM channels from 64b down to 32b wide in DDR5 (but each DIMM has two channels). (newsflash if you missed it: desktop DDR5 is quad channel, but 32b, yes.)

To head off the inaccurate assumptions that designers can sometimes make, the project is fostering collaborations between infrastructure developers and experts in community engagement. In particular, Sengers's research group will be looking at the social impact of technology on rural communities and how those issues might inform the design of new technology or policies developed for this kind of infrastructure.
Major differences from Prolog seem to be as follows: Prolog always evaluates through unification (at least in theory). Verse is evaluated through reduction, including the unifications! This means a). there is a sublanguage in verse that doesn't do unification at all... it should have similar performance to a functional programming language like Haskell. b) verse is deterministic... the same prolog programs can at least theoretically produce two different answers to the same input. Verse has a defined denotational semantics (prolog has most of a defined operational semantics, but that's a different kind of thing). c). Verse an be type checked at compile time! It seems typechecking verse is undecidable, so presumably some type checks will be moved to run time, but lots of type checking can be done at compile time.
Full disclosure: I work at commercetools, another player in the space.

The movement towards "headless", API-first platforms has a lot of steam. So much so that older platforms (e.g. Salesforce) are jumping on the bandwagon to stay relevant in the market.

That said, I know there are a lot of startup-focussed readers on HN. This trend is for larger companies who want to really own their customer experience, including their own frontend. You'll have more flexibility, and using an API-first platform will be a lot less work than writing your own backend, but... it's still more work.

If you are small, you need a quick MVP etc. going with a Shopify or BigCommerce is the faster way to start selling. Once you've got a good stream of revenue and you're feeling these platforms are too rigid, looking for an API-first platform is a good idea!
It represents a time which lacked many conveniences that we have today, like flying cars --oh wait! Kidding of course! I would guess it has to do with diet (and yes, maybe a little lack of exercise, etc.). By now, we have a couple of decades of poor eating under our belt (sorry for the poor pun)...By this i mean, that we're collectively eating more processed foods, etc.

What to Do When a Direct Report Is Bullying You
As someone who've tried to use Logtalk for real project, my impression is that it's extremely verbose and feels like an attempt to create C++ or Mozart/Oz on top of Prolog. Unfortunately, I believe that doing this without introducing extra syntax, you end up with a lot of boilerplate in a language like Prolog without any decent tooling to help you handle it.
Yeah seems likely. I don't want to get too much into the details but I know a lot of "George W." type christians; converted under hardship, their core belief is likely sincere but they aren't necessarily invested in nuanced understanding of its role in a broader public life. They look to their church leadership for that, locally but also in the vast mainstream of evangelical bookstores, podcasts, radio stations.

A domain that is becoming more narrow in its understanding of scripture and extreme about applying it. Look at someone like Beth Moore, a highly prominent figure in this world and by no means a liberal or progressive, viciously chased out for openly holding a view on marriage¹ that would have been easily accepted by evangelicals even a generation ago, and that many probably do privately hold still.

So yes it's entirely possible our evangelical acquaintances have little overlap. But still, these are mainstream views right now and growing more so. You can find dominionist books by prominent christian authors in the window displays of christian bookstores. It may not be the majority of evangelicals, but it is a significant portion and making it the majority is explicitly one of their goals. Dismissing this movement as fringe is irresponsible imo.

¹: The view is "egalitarianism" the idea that both genders have equal privileges and responsibilities within marriage. This is not "wokeism" my southern baptist grandparents believed this.
There is a difference.

Shopify is excellent from a micro business point of view. Even coming from the perspective of a Python dev with limited FE experience, it’s so much easier for the client/business owner to administrate. I have a friend who was a Wordpress developer for 10+ years who couldn’t see from a client perspective that the technical limitations of shopify were irrelevant when compared with the hassle of Wordpress ( and it’s e-commerce plugins).
I absolutely love how the title suggests a million things more than the study itself.
Nothing in the study even could demonstrate any actual therapeutic effects.

Even if the study were one hundred percent well done[0][1] and described a real link between wound healing and Cannabis, it's relevance to the question of any actual benefits in actual human is almost zero. At best it is an extremely weak signal. Of course nobody would care about the study if it was somewhat truthfully reported about.

Please look at Figure 1 and tell me what they are doing. Are they doing what I think they are doing, are they actually doing the statistical test on the whole sample? Without any controls? Doing NOTHING obviously increases \beta-Gal activity, so of course even a treatment which does NOTHING has a positive effect. Are they actually ignoring that? Are they literally just running random data through a statistics program and get excited because they get out p < 0.0001, because their Null hypothesis isn't "no difference", but "nothing changed", which is obviously ridiculous. Please tell me I am totally wrong.[1]

I'm genuinely curious on this dilemma. I feel like I've read plenty of success stories on both sides. Yet I still see more bootstrapped founders coming out on top in terms of take-home pay unless a VC-backed company exits or becomes a unicorn.

I actually see a fair amount of VC-backed founders who have unsuccessful companies pivot into seed investing with other people's money. So they still "win" per-say.

There's probably someone out there who wrote a blog with the opposite premise and they are both relative.
> absolutely amazing is as an anti-emetic/anti nausea remedy

Agreed, cannabis seems to work great as an anti-nausea remedy. I've also found ginger to be effective for this (wikipedia claims evidence for that is inconclusive, but it definitely works for me.)
Spotify's biggest issue for me has been their insistence on a terrible Desktop UI. It used to be that Spotify allowed you to resize column widths but they removed it ages ago. Like around 2013-2015. And it's a feature that's still missing, even with the popularity of widescreen monitors. Now, this is what I believe to be a fairly uncommon issue with music because the vast majority of music fits in the default columns. BUT this is a very annoying issue when it comes to classical music because the track name will sometimes get cut off.

I basically had to memorize how long each track was because I otherwise couldn't tell if I was about to click on "Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat Major, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier": III. Adagio sostenuto" or "Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat Major, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier": II. Scherzo"

My impression (I do research in this area broadly speaking) is that this sort of tool is not really very strongly related to the reasons why they present no warning signs, etc.

Implicit measures tend, on replication and rigorous scrutiny, to kind of be very broad brush and not very specific. There is a literature on implicit measurement and suicide, and it seems they hold up, but they don't dramatically add to anything, and there's also tricky issues about the meaning of "preconscious" assessment. So, lots of false positives etc, and also maybe even bigger questions about the meaning of implicit processing relative to conscious opportunities for "revision".

I think the problem is, what good does it do if someone has some predilection toward suicide but isn't aware of it? If they were going to be resistant to addressing it without this tool, why would they be less resistant to it with it?

The problem with suicide prediction has never really been in predicting suicidal attitudes or cognitions, it's been predicting the actual follow-through with an attempt or success. That depends on a lot of stuff that exists outside of attitudinal space, for lack of a better way of putting it. Someone can basically feel disturbed by the idea until they don't, and then change rapidly in their feelings about it, or vice-versa.

I can't say I think this research line is a bad idea; I think the more information the better. But I'm really skeptical about how well it will work up when really skeptically evaluated, with lots of data, especially when you put it to practice. There's a lot more hurdles than people think.
