> But they do need help landing the airplane in dense fog, and two humans and three computers working together can actually do that. The computers can't do it by themselves, the humans can't do it by themselves, but together, they can!

This is not remotely true. Two humans can easily land in dense fog with instruments alone. If you can't then you shouldn't be flying a plane especially not one with passengers. To suggest otherwise is absurd.
In the near term we will have to start Turing testing our conversation partners. You can about a current event, because these models have a training date cutoff. For example, ask them what the top story on the news was yesterday.

Crunchyroll and Funimation, the first of which is an anime streaming service and the latter of which was originally a North American anime licensor/localizer turned streaming service.

They're now both owned by Sony and have been merged.
Used car auction prices are basically fixed. 80-90% of all cars are bought in auctions run by just one company (Cox). Sale prices low/high is usually in a range of about $100.

As supply costs are so thoroughly controlled, the biggest way to increase margins is increasing prices either directly or through service contracts and/or financing. There is a slight economy of scale to owning fleets of car transports and the like, but the actual competitive advantage of those things over smaller dealerships is pretty minimal and I don't doubt is completely cancelled out by the extra administration overhead smaller dealerships don't have.

Carmax used to mark up cars $2000 over auction price. That isn't pure profit though. They have to pay to transport the cars from the auction to their dealership. They have to pay for the building/lot and administration. They have to pay for any necessary repairs. They have to pay interest on the vehicles as they are leveraged on the vehicles they buy (one reason they resell so fast, but may lose money that must also be made up elsewhere). Most significantly, they have to pay the sales team.

By the time you're done, they probably make more like $100 or less per vehicle directly and the rest indirectly through warranties, service deals, and loans.

This debate reminds me a lot of early-Quora moderation discussions over anonymous users. People wanted to mass-ban any answers from "anonymous" because they weren't from "real people". I argued that, in a public forum, questions/answers should be judged on their content, rather than "who" wrote them. People disagreed. Anonymous functionality on Quora has since been gutted.

AI-generated content seems similar. If a comment is good, who cares whether it was written by Alice, Bob, or an AI? ChatGPT has already proven it can write better answers to some queries than most humans do; I'd rather read the better-quality answer, no matter who wrote it. I'm on HN for the comments, not the people.

The difference is between crafting something transformative and a reproduction. If you simply typed up the same story (even with minor changes) you haven't created anything. Turning a typed work into a typed work isn't really meaningful. A better analogy might be if you retold the story yourself aloud, from memory, making changes by adding characters and omitting scenes that you didn't think were as exciting and adding new ones.

That's how stories were shared before copyright. Someone would tell a story, and someone else would hear it and later share it with others and each time it was told by someone new changes would be made. Each storyteller would tell their own version, including the best parts from other versions and trying new changes on each audience and gradually the story would evolve as the most popular changes would be included more often and propagate farther.

Manga requires quite a bit of work for the editing and layout(no source on hand, but I've heard that it's the bulk of the time investment), which results in very nice to read pages, but webtoons just skip over that.

Additionally, the standard for the amount of art/pagecount per release is deceptively much higher for manga, for better and for worse.

For my MacBook I keep “night shift” on at all times along with dark mode. I’ve not had an issue of eye strain since I switched to doing it a couple years ago. Occasionally I’ll switch back to light mode but find I am having to keep dimming the display as my eyes adjust to the new level. Never quite feeling comfortable. I know some have had success with those blue light glasses in terms of eye strain.

I use Hue Bulbs in the rest of my house and they slowly dim in the evening, although you’re absolutely right that it’d cost thousands to buy enough hue bulbs. You’re better off buying dumb bulbs for daytime then equipping the rest of the house with Hue for a few hundred.

I just went to Home Depot and bought the 8-packs of 100W (13W) equivalent, 5000K, 1600 lumen non dimmable LED bulbs from Feit Electric. Screwed those into a 4-Way light ceiling fan using 4 7-way splitters.

I bought a big 10,000 lumen, 100W corn bulb (with no fan) at a Menards, and screwed that into an old floor lamp I had sitting around. This was actually my first try before I did the wider array of lights, but it wasn’t bright enough by itself. The light from this is also “dirtier” and depending on your webcam it might show lines as it’ll refresh at 60hz or 120hz or something like that, and make your Zoom calls look like you live in a CRT.

I know a lot of people talk about high CRI bulbs when you get into the weeds in this sort of stuff, but I didn’t want to make perfect the enemy of good here.

If you spent a little more you could buy dimmable bulbs instead, although it’d probably be easier depending on your hookup to just selectively shut off some of the bulbs to accomplish the same goal.

More holistically, for day night cycling, I’ve also started taking 0.3mg of melatonin (don’t take more than this, your body doesn’t need it, google it if you’re interested). I’ve found it helps me get to bed earlier and stay asleep until morning, where I’d wake up sometimes.

I don't get it. "Https for security" because "http is unsecure" sure but does EVERYTHING need to be secure? Like sure its fine but what if something isn't? What's the point of httpsing Wikipedia?

Forgive my ignorance but my ISP does DPI so any website on their blocklist is not permitted and I can't do anything about it so https or http doesn't matter.

Again, I am not talking about e2ee or SSL for payments or stuff but "surfing". If there are tech like DPI, whats the point of pretending " security"? From ISP that is.
It's not color == distance though, it is color + brightness. Maybe there is some unknown principle at play but you could say that about anything which is not directly measurable, for example how old the earth is. But, it's the best we've got so far, and it does provide seemingly reasonable results that also align with parallax measurements when parallax is within the usable range.
I asked it to write a function in Python that would return the list of AWS accounts in an organization with a given tag key and value.

The code looked right, initialized boto3 correctly and called a function on it get_account_numbers_by_tag on the organizations object.

I wondered why I never heard of that function and nor did I find it when searching. Turns out, there is no such function.
> "we can be absolutely confident of their fantastic distances"

My current layperson's understanding is:

1) Redshift-to-distance conversion is a calibration based on the distance ladder.

2) And the distance ladder itself seems to have come under some doubt recently due to the "cosmological crisis" [1].

Can someone here ELI5 how they can be absolutely confident of these distances?

The article certainly has its problems. (Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator was great, and criticizing a beloved children's book for being too wacky is just absurd.) But you're saying that "Hitler didn’t just pick on the Jews for no reason" is not sufficient, on its own, to accuse someone of racism. And I don't believe that's true, even without the context of the full quote.

Now, the article might reasonably make one suspect that the quote was taken out of context. This would lead to a few minutes of research, ending in the same context I found, and the conclusion that, no, he really was quite unashamedly racist.
It would be more accurate to say that Unix time "accounts for" leap seconds by not accounting for them at all, but rather switching into temporal displacement ambiguous repeat timestamp la la land for an entire second before returning to an unambiguous encoding of UTC.
> Well yes, Germany maintained the reactors they had until they reached the end of their useful lifetime

Except that is simply a lie that anti-nuclear people spread.

Nuclear plants can reach 80 or 100 years and we honestly don't even know the max lifespan. Almost the German plants could have continued to run. 30 year is nothing for a nuclear plant.

Yes, it requires maintenance and partial replacement of subsystems, but that's just the reality. We are talking about replacing fucking coal, I just don't understand why people don't care about that.

One of the things I noticed and immediately liked about Mastodon was that I quickly found curious academic types who are interesting to chat with. And the whole vibe on Mastodon was different because you'll find quirky and idiosyncratic people who pay a lot of attention to a very specific type of intellectually curious conversation, and your more likely to discover that on Mastodon in my experience, so I think it is an excellent fit for academics.
I have been following this work for a few years but I am no expert. Both numbers, and both explanations as to their significance, are from the articles linked in this thread. The next step will likely be net energy in respect to the entire system - or unqualified net energy. From there it is work on improving efficiency and scaling to commercial usefulness, which of course might be just as hard.
I don’t think you know what you are talking about. It’s hard to build adequate infrastructure on melting permafrost. One can’t naively think, “we’ll just build what is needed” without taking into consideration the conditions. Humans have not always done this as we migrated throughout our history at the scale that would be required if hundreds of millions of people migrate to Siberia. The supply chain issues these past two years shows how fragile our globalized system is to shocks. Increasing the air temperature a few degrees centigrade means massively increasing the energy into the weather system.

The tide is going out on the crypto space and few will be left standing. Sure, it's theoretically possible to create a sustainable exchange, but since the entire space is built on greed, no one can resist the too good to be true gambling.

The value of all cryptos crashing for a long time could actually be good (tm). Shake the scammers and idiots and leave whats left for technology people to play with and develop without the rubbish that currently surrounds the space. The absolute best thing for bitcoin would be if no one ever expected it to be a good investment and saw it just as a way to transact money.
To do so is to take on metaphysical and epistemological positions inherently.

That is not necessarily a bad thing.

It's something that human consciousness seemingly has to do.
I actually happen to work in this industry, and this is definitely correct. We've actually shifting towards licensing more webtoons than manga, because in the digital world, manga doesn't sell very well (unless you're dealing with Shounen Jump content which is all taken anyway), and webtoons have a huge growing popularity. It's kind of funny when I look at our platform's stats, how the mobile audience is mainly webtoons and the web audience is mainly manga (and much smaller).

The Japanese publishers definitely know this is a huge issue imo, unlike what this article says. It's hard not to when a Korean app combining webtoons and manga (Piccoma) has dominated the Japanese Play/Apple store's rankings and shown the publishers the potential of the market. It's kind of humiliating honestly. That's why they're trying to get in on the business by spinning up webtoon studios and doing manga -> webtoon conversions. Some are doing OK, most aren't.

Note for anyone interested in entering the market: Korean webtoons currently consist mostly of a duopoly between Kakao and Naver. When a good webtoon is produced, the studio usually has to sign an exclusive contract with one of them, and they both have either launched platforms in all popular foreign languages, or have bought out the biggest ones, so squeezing in is not very easy. On that note, I'm very surprised this article doesn't mention the alternative: Chinese webtoons. They're pretty huge as well. Another fun fact: It's kind of hard to find "webtoons" if that's what you're looking for, because Naver tries to scare anyone who wants to use that word (they also own the "Webtoon" platform, which is larger than any other in existence in the foreign market). You'll see stuff like "Smarttoon", "Mangatoon", "Vericomix", and other made-up terms that really just mean webtoon.

No wonder I didn't really understand the NFT concept, nowhere was it told (to me at least) that "...A part of the popular narrative around NFTs was that royalties were built into the operation of the blockchain. This was never true."

It seemed that nobody who wrote an article about them really understood them?

The question I always had was why wouldn't the original author simply create new NFTs out of the same artwork? What would stop them? Or just sell a slight variation of the artwork after running it through a color-filter etc. ?

I mean if selling an NFT was valuable, why wouldn't I just sell more and more of them? Other than that I could pretend and give the impression that there was scarcity when in fact there wasn't. I could stop not selling more of them when I needed more money.

"Colour" is oversimplifying it a bit. We're usually concerned with the distribution of light received with respect to wavelength. In the case of distance, it's not just that "it's red", but that the entire spectrum has been shifted in the direction of red. That means the features that correspond to, say, a specific Hydrogen emission, appear slightly offset from where they would if you were looking at it in a lab. When you look at age and size, you're looking at the distribution of the spectrum irrespective of a shift and seeing if it's heavier in the red, blue, or somewhere else. That tells you a lot about composition and mass, which helps with the age and size questions.

TL;DR: the use of color terms (e.g., "red") is oversimplifying what astronomers actually do which is an analysis of the overall spectrum and its properties.

It's not "not far off" It's a defective fantasy. You are part of a society entirely based on pooling money through taxation and using it to pay for the things that make your entire life possible. The only people in a position to meaningfully move the needle as far as tax evasion are the rich who overwhelmingly are the folks who benefit from tax evasion and the people most harmed by austerity are the poor who lose benefits essential to their continued existence.

Tax evasion is overwhelmingly the rich stealing from the poor.
I just can't see how crypto can recover tbh. What other technology spent ten years, produced basically nothing of value, is almost universally hated by the whole population and then came back to be something useful?

It's not like quantum computing where we just don't know how to make it work. There are close to no technical problems, the core idea just doesn't work.
> VC subsidies are usually about hiding the true market value of a product to attract customers

A more benevolent reading of this is that the VC money is used to make the product more affordable at small scale. Many times products become cheaper/affordable at larger scales. Young companies use the VC $$ help to get them across that inflection point.

This logic breaks down when the product cost doesn’t get lower with more scale. Customer service oriented companies usually fall in this category.
