Haven't really thought about it in depth, but it's been pretty interesting to see this play out in the American online scans scene as well. From my perspective, Japanese manga was basically the 800 lb gorilla that we were all consuming. At some point in my college days, I think around 2014, this one webcomic called The Gamer came out and was pretty popular. That's the first big Korean webtoon that I recall blowing up in popularity in the online webcomics scene. Actually, I take it back. Tower of God was another popular one as well. I can't remember when that one came out, but I mentally omitted it because I fell off the wagon myself - thought the series moved too slow throughout each season. After those two was Solo Leveling, which really blew up. The premise for SL was pretty generic power fantasy but good enough to entertain on a weekly basis. What really sold it though was the art. Nowadays, if you're reading online scans, you just as likely to run into a Korean webcomic than a Japanese one. (I'm ignoring stuff like the Breaker because I'm pretty sure that started as a print series - the webtoon stuff is a new wave of comics designed specifically for its vertical format)

Recommendations: As someone mentioned earlier -

Peerless Dad

Administrator Kang Jin Lee (Same author as above - spin off
series about one of the characters in the above comic)

Legend of the Northern Blade

Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon

Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon (I like it, but admit it's inconsistent. Also, author really likes to emphasize sexual violence against women early on - it's pretty grotty.)

Villain Unrivaled

Return of the Crazy Demon

Probably a lot of other series I like, but these are the ones from the top of my head that are generally pretty good.
I read your post

Is Your Mental Health Medication Actually Working?

Please be clear.

There is no evidence that a chemical imbalance in the brain even exists.

The chemical imbalance hypothosis was created by big pharma to sell Prozac and society and the medical community fell for it.

I am a retired psychotherapist who wored in mental health for over 30 years and I have never found any research that supports the chemical imbalance theory
I wouldn't ask ChatGPT anything. It is still writing weird articles that sounds meaningful yet lacking arguments because it finds attributes of the compared objects and places them in sentences. As if it is comparing them. It just doesn't make sense. ChatGPT is nice but has a long way to become useful that way.
> know a prominent crypto entrepreneur that got loaned 8 figures after a text message to help finance an acquisition

I work in finance and can guarantee you that I wouldn't touch such a "bank" with a 50 foot pole while wearing a hazmat suit.

Let's just say that their "risk management" doesn't seem up to scratch if what you're claiming is true.
I recall I have seen it also on Unpoly presentation which was on HN first page the same day.
History shows that this is always what happens, and history shows it always fails. But I think history must have an (anti)survivor bias here because if you do manage to move from insolvent to solvent I think that you don't ever tell anyone.

But... on the other hand maybe history is right and everyone who gets into this mess inevitably only makes it worse by struggling.
Indeed, and to me the sarcasm was beyond obvious - 1st sentence: two words and an exclamation mark. One interesting caveat was that the account was brand new (like just created).
If you run ML on the historian-uncontested[0] plays the same way as on the ones with likely different/multiple authors, what is the result? Does it say 'this is clearly just one guy'?

[0] You sound confident about the consensus. Can you share the material that led you to that? I'm currently under the impression they were all written by multiple authors. HOWEVER, I recognize I'm very low-info on this (or low-quality info at least) and my belief would be easily changed by something reputable and/or with good methodology.
Some people genuinely do want to watch the world burn. Either feelings of power, to get revenge on a community that rejected them or because they hate the topic that community formed around.
Every man I know has had a dream about not being able to punch in their dream.

Every person I know that went to college has had a dream about being lost or stuck on campus.

Dreams about being in the backseat of a car unable to reach the pedals are so common it makes me wonder.
hire a cheap developer from a 3rd-world country to build a lensa ai clone in react native so you get both android/ios version.

since ai art is popular right now, make it better than lensa.

hire influencers with a 20% cut if they refer your app.

invest in pr & aggressive marketing in addition to that.

if you do it right, this should turn your $100k into $1m in <3 months of launch.

if you don't get it done fast, then you can try instagram photoshoots or try to automate onlyfans with an ai.

this will take some work but its a sureshot way to make >$1m with the ai hype.
If the answers of the bots are short, it is very difficult to detect. Imagine short answer bots but thousands under one thread. How can we say who is the human?
For those 200M I'd like to see an independent source before I believe it. Or are you trying to claim 1 wallet = 1 user or something?

When it comes to money moved: the top 1% in the US possess more wealth than the whole middle 60% of income distribution combined.

So if you believe that moving a lot of money inherently implies broad adoption in the population you live in a very small bubble far away from reality.
Well I guess the remaining 14% of the population are just weird :)

I didn't mean only going to hospital for labor and birth.
Is it fair to categorise Space-X as "the winner of the competition designed by NASA to find a way to build rockets without having Senators interfere?"

As in, SpaceX hired the engineers from NASA, got paid by NASA and basically built the rockets that were in fetal at NASA?

I am not saying nothing innovative happened, I am asking is the difference taking the same engineers out of NASA or is there something else?
> Curious, how often do you find yourself printing these days?

Main use is that I write music scores which I print (reading them off a tablet won't do). This would be several times a week.

Weekly or so (sometimes more, sometimes less) I print tickets (those with bar codes or QR codes) for concerts and the like. I don't want to rely on a phone for that, my normal phone isn't actually online when I'm not in wifi range and it's cumbersome to drag up a PDF on it. Way easier to bring out a piece of paper from my pocket. And reliable. And yes, boarding passes for flights as well. Reliability is even more important there..

EditAdd: And labels for post packages. It's cheaper to prepare that online and print the label myself, then bring the package to the post office where they'll clamp a transparent plastic sheet over it. If they have to do the label at the post office it'll cost more. It's because when I enter the address etc. online then it'll go directly into their database, and that's why it's more expensive if the post office has to enter it.

My wife has a small class for which she needs to print learning material she's made for her pupils, each time. She also occasionally need to make color prints, and for that we use an HP bought years ago (and deliberately never given Internet access). For the other mentioned stuff we use a b/w laser printer.

None of the above is really feasible for printing at a print shop, would have to drive ten minutes and (these days) go through a toll booth as well. In fact I'm very close to buying another b/w laser printer so that I don't have to go upstairs to get my printouts - I would like to have one real close. Was looking into a low-cost (and small) Brother laser printer for that - now I see they're into shenanigans as well, will have to check carefully before I go further.

So, unlike some other commenters here, I find having a printer (or several) at home is still a must for me. I use print shops only for printing photos (at dedicated photo shops).
They destroyed her bone marrow twice.

Leukemias are cancers of bone marrow.

Usual tactic is chemo + bone marrow replacement and hope new tcells mop up cancer cells.

Didn't quite work so they started with new marrow and made some changes to a supply of tcells they flooded her with. Once they couldn't find cancer they put the marrow on.
The market can stay irrational far longer than you can stay solvent. What the years of free money proved is that the points are made up anyway. If you stayed playing the old game of PE ratios and market fundamentals you lost out on a ton of gainz in years past other than this one. The value comes down to how much the next sucker is winning to pay for what you're selling.
Borrowing money can be expensive. It's also how we get to the next level.
I’ve noticed Mangohud wasn’t showing CPU watts. I did some searching and found https://github.com/Ta180m/zenpower3. Blacklisted k10temp and now its working.
Not just sound, many other ones have video chips that had a bunch of 2D acceleration features vs PC's plain old ass framebuffer where you needed to burn CPU cycles to move anything on.

Multi-media-wise PCs were behind for a relatively long time compared to other home computers.

I don't think it would be overstatement to say only reason PC won was coz of competition's mismanagement
> Last year the manga print market shrank by 2.3% to ¥265bn ($1.9bn).

There was a massive paper shortage due to COVID combined with a big jump to digital.

I've had a hard time finding chapters of One Piece due to this - if you don't pre-order you're too late. Also the latest box set of 20 volumes is at this point still unobtainium :(
Hopefully everyone who is serious has moved everything that the have away from that hole.
At least in (my experience of) Europe, the main objection to more powerful engines is the proportionate increase in running costs. The trend lighter, more fuel efficient GA has been entirely driven by cost-per-hour, and longer term maintenance costs.

I used to do a lot of gliding and the most powerful aircraft routinely flown was a Piper Pawnee (175 kW / 235 hp engine, in contrast to say c. 120 kW / 160 hp for a Cessna 172), used as a glider aerotow – and even then most of the time we had [electric] winch launches. The pawnee once memorably broke a cylinder head while on tow out and had a sufficient power reserve to both get the glider to a safe altitude and fly the rest of the circuit without issue. At the rest of the field, all of the GA aircraft were highly fuel optimised and mostly run by "normal people" worried about the cost per hour more than anything else. Even the aerobatic aircraft – CAP 10s – had less powerful engines than that Pawnee. I didn't see a super- or turbocharger, and the only people flying twins at nearby airfields were entirely doing it for the point of [commercial] pilot training.
If they don't, they might continue losing market share. Not to mention, there's nothing sacrosanct about the current format that can't be changed. In fact, there's a growing trend of Twitter based manga coming out.
Sorry, I don't agree. Nuclear is not the magic solution. Look at France. A big part of Germanys problems are the nuclear power plants there - they simply don't work and France needs to import terawatts of power. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/sweden-tops-france-e...
In fact:
"Germany was the second largest net exporter at 15.4 TWh, double the levels recorded halfway through 2021, as power generation in the country responded to the import demand from France, the data showed."

And no, building new powerplants is not the solution. None of these plants were constructed on time or within the budget. They need room, they need to be connected, they need trained workers, they need massive oversight (because the owners will do just enough around security to fulfill the letters of the law, never the spirit of the law).

Nuclear reactors are also not fit for the coming climate change, especially not the ones now being turned off. Almost all of them needed to be shut down in the last summers, because the water intake from rivers was either to warm or there was simply not enough water available.

In addition, nuclear is only viable, because it gets supported by tax money. Nobody will ensure these things against accidents, the companies are not responsible for transport/storage of the waste and get price guarantees. '

And despite all of that, the price for nuclear power rises - while the prices for all others forms of energy drop. From a market standpoint, it makes no sense to invest billions (face it, it will be billions, even if companies responsible tell you it will "only be millions") into a technology that is more expensive than others, harder to control, and not flexible enough. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_nuclear_power_pla...)
Investing these billions into decentralization of the power grid and renewable energies (Wind, Solar, Hydro, Storage capacities) will yield a way better return with less complications and more stability.

But, what I will agree with you is that exit plan for nuclear by Merkel and her CDU/CSU was shitty done. They did not have a strategy and, in parallel, they destroyed the German solar industry (which could have been a powerhouse now but was basically sold do China by the CDU). And yes, it would have made more sense to first bring down coal and then nuclear. Or that the grid needed to be meshed more to support distributed energy generation. But nuclear was never a (good) option in a country so densely populated.
Putting them on a pseudo-anonymous web forum like Nextdoor shows what these people really think of you.
But it’s exactly the right expectation for a Hacker News comment. Already HN excels because comments avoid auto-outrage and meme-commentary.
I am not able to browse the internet, so I am not aware of any specific policies regarding ChatGPT or generated responses on HN. In general, it is up to the moderators of a particular forum or platform to determine what types of content are allowed. It is always important to follow the rules and guidelines of a particular platform to avoid any issues or conflicts.
This is yet another reminder that we very much need an open source hardware printer.

If there was one, everybody in the planet would buy and recommend that one, over the tyranny which are proprietary printers.

RMS started GNU over a fight with a printer, and we STILL haven't progressed.
No it's not. Crocodile tears about how unfair it is for her to make so little instead of paying her more is virtue signaling. Dems have being in power in CA forever voting for them is not going to change maids wage.
8% of (American) people have a positive view, 43% have a negative view. The rest don't care or are neutral. So although not a majority, it's pretty close.

Don't even have to go that far. Just have it multiply two 3 or 4-digit numbers. It'll give an incorrect answer somewhere in the ballpark of the right answer.
It's getting small usability updates from time to time.

Also GH/GL is popular because of everything else they do (issues, page rendering, now CI/CD) not because git CLI is too hard.

Improvements are welcome of course but the moment newbie hits merge conflict no amount of CLI niceness can get around them not knowing what to do with it and that's true regardless of DVCS. For "non-programmers" no CLI is good enough anyway.
Certainly not the whole population, but when SNL makes a joke about sitting at Holiday dinner and having to listen to so-and-so’s boyfriend talk on and on about Crypto, that’s got to be a sentiment that resonates with a lot of people

Expectations for a fraction of a percentage interest rate move should not be the dominant narrative and driving volatility to such an extent. Positive GDP growth and falling unemployment used to be a good thing, this year they are deeply bearish.

If ML algos ever manage to recognize sarcasm then we're truly in trouble. Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the Internet, especially for non-native speakers. Tone just doesn't come across well in text.
We don't have millions of comments here. I think a $5 additional vcpu can solve it easily.
This comment aptly summerizes why I hate most "modern" programming jobs.

This is not programming. This is not what I had in mind when I signed up for Computer Science school.

> modelling real world (business) process in terms of the systems of automation which are available.

In other words, programming by analogy.
Shouldn’t they be creating upwards pressure on salaries? Meanwhile, techies want another $50k if they ever have to venture outside of their home office.
Whether an VC firm engages in subsidies for its clients or whether a government engages in subsidies for its electorate, money is being spent to distort market prices and that adds friction to accurate market pricing. It's weird to identify issues with the tactic and then arbitrarily say one entity doing it is bad when its OK if the other one does it.

If the government damages the economy with subsidies, those responsible might have more difficulty getting elected. If a VC firm dumps a juiced bag on S&P index fund buyers while causing a bunch of trouble for taxi companies and first time homebuyers, are any of their clients going to be pissed? My guess is they'll probably congratulate them on a job well done.
Feels like something about the bystander effect, about feeling attacked or threatened while everyone around you is indifferent. And how in such a situation, you want more than just defence or neutralizing the threat, but some sorta vengeance? Ensuring that it won't become a problem again? Taking power/agency to do so, in a situation where noone else will?

This is just what kinda popped into my mind. Nightcap guru (from the other top post) suggested this:

> This dream likely symbolizes a feeling of helplessness and vulnerability in your current life.

> The indifferent people in the dream could represent a lack of support or understanding from those around you. The figure with the knife symbolizes someone or something that is causing you fear and anxiety. By taking the knife away from them and carving crosses onto their knees, you are asserting your power over the source of your fear and taking control of the situation. This dream could be interpreted as a sign that you have the strength and courage to overcome whatever is causing you fear and anxiety.
I agree. ChatGPT has made me realise the gulf between “short form essay” school writing and the professionals.

Here’s an example article that begins with the cliched GPT-generated intro, and then switches up into crafted prose:

This is an interesting video covering several alternative fusion power initiatives being pursued currently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNP8by6V3RA

The common thread is that they tend to aim directly for an electrical output rather than simply generating energy, and don't necessarily plan to have a self-sustaining reaction.
Looking at what has actually come out of that push for "global mass-marketability", which is to say a lot of huge money machines and not a lot of art, the worst thing that could result from this is Japanese publishers trying to replicate this, as basically none of the internationally successful Japanese auteur creators would have had their works greenlit if they'd had to pass some global mass-marketability criteria.
I’ll never understand the logic behind “high memory usage” as a metric for desktop environments.. If you had the hardware, would you rather see it used or see it dog slow trying to load UI components from disk? I can understand the idea of using memory used over time as a proxy for how featureful/bloated something is, but, blind monitoring of memory usage seems pointless to me. At best it can be a capacity metric - “if you have only 2 GiB of RAM on your machine, you’re better off with XFcE vs KDE, but on a machine with 8 GiB of RAM, would you not rather see it being used?
Public transport just doesn't scale, neither does cycling.
- You can't have a bus/train stop everywhere, being serviced multiple times a day when many of those locations would be visited by one or two people.
- Bicycles are a fun toy, not serious transport. They are very slow and have a severely limited range for even the fittest of individuals
I don't think it's a problem yet. Not on a forum like HN because the bot's style is simply not HN's style.

On StackOverflow and other technical help forums, it is a problem because it sounds exactly like those reputation hunters who post wikipedia style answers - mostly unhelpful - 2 minutes after a question is posted.

I guess that's where ChatGPT learned to phrase itself ;)
The sad part was the request for clicking google ads as a form of patreon support. I would happily get an advertiser to pay a few cents per click but I could not see any ads.

It just brings home the impact of sanctions - Putin does not need patreon support but someone actually making a small contribution to understanding is rather stuck.
Well, for all of those things, what is expensive for a small company if you run it yourself is the sysadmin aspect. You could run all these services off of a pair of three-year-old servers from ebay for next to nothing in hardware cost, even if you buy cold spares for disks and fans and power supplies from the get-go. But the cost of having someone learn to install, configure and operate all this software is very significant.

But when you're at the large scale and offering this as a commercial service, you've designed your free tier such that the marginal cost of adding a free tier customer is essentially zero, and the best way to acquire new customers is to have someone in that org using your product's free tier for their personal projects.
Storing energy in hydrogen definitely involves steam reformation. Well done. Very nice good faith response.

Using gas for 500 hours a year while storage matures is definitely worse than using coal and sitting on your thumbs for 20 years while an EPR is built. Very nice non-cherry-picked example.

> Also, where do the energy come from, in your magical energy mix, for this month, for Germany? How many installed capacity do they need ?

To bring the locally consumed fossil fuels down to the same level as france's local fossil fuels + those imported from germany in this cherry picked unrepresentative month? About another 200-400GW nameplate at current calacity factors with a few hundred GWh of thermal storage, or roughly where they'd be if they hadn't had their rollout torpedoed in the early 2010s.
Certainly but as I’ve learned the economics aren’t there. In a previous role we developed a novel heatsink and fan design and saw some licensing interest. We learned that all that matters for thermal management solutions was cost above all else. Existing designs were good enough.
Relatively speaking, it should be somewhere around IceWM's levels.
I don't think you need a backlit screen these days, though? E-paper screens in smaller form factors are cheaply and widely available, commonly used for electronic price tags and such, and they could easily be used on a foldable PDA/cyberdeck type device.
