I have always felt that 37C was way too precise an answer for a human's body temperature. How is it that a measurement based on the freezing and boiling point for water coincidentally lands on a nice even number for a human's body temperature.

It's one of my issues with biological sciences that they sometimes try to come up with precise answers as they do in physics or chemistry, when most of the time answers, such as this, should be phrased as "around 37C" instead of "it's 37C".
I agree. Of course Rust is going to see "more use", it's popular right now. But that's really the only claim I can see the author making. Or maybe they're making a point about Zig I can't parse; It doesn't have strong memory safety guarantees, and so... something?
I’d be ok living someplace rural and occasionally staying overnight in a larger city as long as the issue we have in America doesn’t exist in NL - in USA rural means lots of annoying right wingers.

Also not great transit whereas in NL could get by wo a car right?

As for herring, not a vegetarian, and while I’m usually a full on dirtbag leftist in terms of interaction style I’d be ok turning it down to passive aggressive for diplomacy’s sake, especially when it’s a holiday ;-)
The question is not "do I have to pay capital gains tax?"

The question is "do I need to check that digital currency box?"
Yes, and I'm supporting that by calling the previous comment needlessly pedantic trying to make something confusing that was not confusing to start.
I actually really enjoyed the Amazon Books stores when they first opened; they were full of books, and not customized recommendations to me but actually the top rated and top-selling books across US Amazon shoppers.

But I feel like they succumbed to the same problem B&N did here, for different reasons -- they became full of kitchen gadgets and devices, because people were buying more things and less books on Amazon itself, and the stores started to mirror that.
Thanks - we're in the process of redoing the whole site so I didn't notice those were busted. Fixed now :)

Our browser support is still a work in progress (and browsers don't support WebGPU yet), so we primarily run on windows/linux/macOS natively right now. Once that improves we will replace them with actual browser demos.
I was able to visit the main New York Public Library reading room without issues, maybe you're thinking of the LOC reading room in DC?

Fun factoid about NYPL: it's a private nonprofit, not a municipal establishment like many other libraries.
This has nothing to do with whether or not you pay tax. You pay tax on income even if it is not related to digital currencies.

If you somehow made $100k off V-Bucks then you need to report that income, but you should say "No" to the question about digital currencies.

(Disclaimer: I can't believe I have to say this, but if you are making significant money off of video game currencies you should talk to a professional rather than listening to an anonymous HN poster as your sole tax advice)
They can't fly on your private jet unless you invited them. Otherwise it is up to airline. And I bet none of them will take the side "flying with child in first class is unethical"
Where is the list of supported built-in functions? Perhaps adding a page documenting that would make it useful for your users.
In my country is more like: Normally you should be 36.x; 37 would be a little bit high but not yet fever.

I personally think it really isn't that important though, because how people measure it is way more imprecise/fluctuant than the standard itself.
It's a legal requirement for doctors to practice continuing education to keep their medical license. It is literally part of their job to "keep up on the latest research."
You touched upon the core issues. Yes, SkySolver should be able to get a solution quickly. Yes, there should be systems in place to co-ordinate invidividual actions of 20k people with rapid adjustments. Yes, they should have procedures in place to do "black starts". But they don't. And you can't design, test, and roll out even a new communications system to 20k users literally overnight. If they existing scheduling system doesn't already email crew, then do they have email addresses for all them? If so, it's probably in HR somewhere; if that's outsourced then it could take days for SWA to get that pulled out even on an expedited basis. If they send email, what percentage of crew will receive it? In what timeframe? Email campaigns are notoriously porous. And how do crewmembers provide feedback? A standalone web page? Great--how do you authenticate? By interfacing the existing system? What will that take? Probably not, though--it appears the existing feedback mechanism is a manual phone call to a person. Do crewmembers even have login IDs?

Finally, even with perfect communication there's the problem of getting people where they need to be when the transport system is very flaky. I think that's probably the issue when the CEO said 'they would get things manually set up, and then something would happen and we'd have to start all over again.'

The pilot's union and others have been critizing SWA for not investing in infrastructure. The previous CEO, responding to the previous melt-down, said something about 'you can't test for these kind of scenarios.' That's wrong. You can't do it easily or cheaply, but it is possible. They haven't done it, they haven't developed robust systems, and now they can't instantly resolve the problem.
4. Safest route + don’t send me through a bad part of town
That precisely what we were trying to do. Nope, airline refused to sell. (On the way back plane was half empty, so it was much easier and did not cost a penny :))
or... you could just patch the vulnerability. This reasoning reminds me of projects like stockfish who don't care about memory issues and crashes and will just ignore memory bugs because you can't experience it if you are using the program right.
Did it require a special lightning cable (with more data pins) to use those speeds? If it was the standard cable, it's perplexing why Apple hasn't used that in every "Pro" iPhone/iPad.
Nonsense; who ever claimed that? And it’s not a knock on the Mac; if you ever have the opportunity to use an original Lisa and a Mac 128k side by side, you’ll observe that the Mac’s speed and UI improvements are pretty hard not to notice.
Not the author, but it seems like they are saying that, at first glance, it seems unreasonable to spend millions of dollars on a physical structure to hold books when all of the same information is housed online and accessible digitally. But, upon further consideration, there are secondary benefits that make a library a net benefit for the community.
I've seen google maps suggest multiple routes with varying toll costs when driving in Southern India. Not sure what their criteria is for showing them.
It’s the same thing. An interesting thing to consider is that the stable diffusion model was trained on terrabytes if images but the output is a 4GB model. Copying would require access to the originals but clearly the original art is are long gone and any output is new generation from learning.
You're basically just arguing "Twitter can do whatever the hell they want", which is not what I'm debating.

I'm arguing that a platform like Twitter that operates under the pretense of accessibility to all and freedom should uphold itself to a higher standard of free speech than the blatant one-sided censorship it engaged in during COVID. This would make the product better for its users, and be better for society.

Of course legally they can decide to adopt the principles of the Chinese Communist Party, but I find that morally reprehensible and clearly I'm not the only one.

Fox News is a right-wing propaganda media outlet. Just because its articles have comments sections doesn't make it a social media platform.
Thanks for the tip! I'd never heard of Logical Increments before!
I’d rather work at the grocery in walking distance from my house. They pay roughly a fifth of what my current employer pays new unskilled hires without experience. Keep this in mind before you berate the impoverished help for not catering to your whims.
For the avoidance of doubt: they use the same chipset as the old AirPods Pro (H1), not the new H2 that's used in the latest AirPods Pro.
I couldn't agree more. There were so many signals that Solana was bad technology. There were times when transactions were down and times were out of sync. This should never happen with decentralized technology. There are no devs on PagerDuty to fix these issues when they occur, neither should we want devs to have the ability to put up or down a decentralized technology. I stayed and plan on staying very far from Solana.
You're required to check the box if you received a digital asset, even if you didn't sell it.
Even “around” is meaningless without context. A hot day is around 37c (+/- 10), a healthy person is around 37c (+/- 1) and a manufacturing process could call for a temp around 37c (+/- 0.1).
Don't put it past them to mandate that all phones must have a physical port, and that it must be compliant with a blessed EU standard.
Additionally, most 'mass shootings' are not the lunatic opening up on a crowd that people envision them as. They're gang violence.
Rare treat. Probably my "most enjoyed : least amount of videos ratio" content creator on youtube. Here's to waiting another year.
> hateful posts about white people were allowed

Example of a hateful post of a white person? I highly doubt this is true. Do you believe calling a white person cracker is hate? Funnily enough, leftist and actually famous (in streaming + political circles) Hasan Piker, a white guy, got de-platformed temporarily because right wingers hate watched him and reported him for using cracker. Cracker comes from the whips cracking...because white people in America OWNED other human beings and still benefit from the systemic racism that is integrated into society.

> Franklin Veaux

I don't think Franklin Veaux is that big of a leftist. If at all. I spent a few min looking him up. I found a post talking about left and right politics. It is filled with inaccuracies and appears to be written by some one who consumes the most basic of news and politics. Here: https://blog.franklinveaux.com/2022/06/7985/

He equates liberals and the left. He doesn't seem to understand what liberal means. This is politics 101. He says "Liberals don’t accept this. Liberals are biased toward egalitarianism; the same rules apply to everybody." This isn't true. By definition liberals believe in capitalism. Capitalism by definition is not "the same rules apply to everybody". The blog post seems more like anti-leftist propaganda. Making liberals seem like they are on the left is so wrong.

Unless you have some evidence that not only shows he's a leftist (a socialist), but can answer why he made such a bad blog post and still keeps it up, he's probably a full blown liberal.
I fear the day that we get a run on your own machine version of ChatGPT. Within a week I think virtually every public signup forum will be crushed by bots which act and talk more natural than some humans.

You’ll just expect that most of the users on discord are bots unless you know them irl.
1. That's not really a deterrent to the hacker mindset, necessarily.

2. The idea is you'd be tricking the supercharger into letting you pay for it, not necessarily stealing it.
Your will has nothing to do with it.

If you received a digital asset you must check the box.
Very cool. It looks like you train your transformer model as normal and then fine tune it some more with a reward model

How about "SBF getting an unreasonable sentence, hopefully, would be the catalyst of change towards every convicted criminal getting reasonable sentences"?

That was different, it had a separate screen for each key. This one here has a single large screen behind all the keys, which involves a number of technical achievements to pull off. Also, this looks way better.
Thanks for reminding me Romania is in the EU. Would I have issues there as a queer person?

(The only folks I spoke with from there were some Romani who didn’t have the best view of the folks who reside permanently.)

I worry I’d not fit in in Spain since I don’t think Catalonia becoming a nation is justified (not like Scotland where you’re throwing off royals plus staying in the union), and the other areas are more to the right.

(Also I speak a small amount of Spanish not Catalan)

Galicia was nice when I went there for PETS but got the impression they also have a big chunk who don’t speak Spanish + wanna take autonomy to an extreme for autonomy’s sake.

(Anyways I’ll pause my thinking aloud - I’ve been to Spain it’s a nice country. More laid back than DE :-))
Unlike with digital assets, you don't have to tell the IRS you acquired a boat unless you sell it and owe tax.
Yeah. I find him interesting because he's a loser. Someone who failed upward and lacks the intelligence he believes he has to have any self awareness or human decency.

If someone on HN pooped on Elon's desk, I'd find that compelling to look into. It wouldn't be interesting in a positive way though. That's what the parent comment was implying.
I met a youngish European guy who was working as a project manager for a DAO, I forget what they did but they made money and the staff got paid (crypto).

It turned out many of the people working for the DAO were anonymous and nobody in the DAO knew or cared who they were in real life. They did good work, got paid crypto, everyone was happy.

When I asked “what about sanctions” he gave me the blankest look I’ve ever seen.
You should read about Bell's theorem to understand what the alternatives are. Experimental data now makes the alternatives vanishingly likely.

We (Australia) have always in my experience taught and been taught a range.

eg:

> You probably have a fever if your temperature is 38°C or higher.

> A normal temperature is around 36-37°C, although it depends on your age, what you’ve been doing, the time of day and how you take the measurement.

( further notes on taking temp., children, etc. )

I’m not sure how you define genius, but there are some damn brilliant painters who didn’t start until they had reached retirement age. So many that it’s practically a cliche.
My response never went through. I can send my [good faith] response if you are still seeing this. I'm guessing not. Otherwise thanks for your in-depth response.
No. What is liberally democratic in "Western" democracy was copied wholesale from American examples eloquently explained by their representatives, and demonstrated in numerous urban centers there.

Graeber's and Wengrow's book "The Dawn of Everything" goes into this in much greater depth. Graeber's tragic early death should not overshadow Wengrow's continuing work on the subject.

We should demand proper and complete translations of the original Tlaxcalan sources today only available to English speakers in paraphrase, and scholarly acknowledgement of the literary tradition.
You don’t own it, it’s not an asset, it’s a license to use something for an undetermined time.

In Poland normal has always been considered 36.6C, which is 97.9F, which the article states as a proposed new normal.
72-year-old Congressman pursues a Master's in AI
"In Wunderlich’s day, tuberculosis, syphilis, chronic gum disease, and other inflammatory conditions that can raise body temperature were common"

That part resonates with me. I had a pretty bad tooth infection after delaying seeing a dentist for a cavity. (which is a mistake I will not make again), and during the few months I had a body temp probably a degree celsius higher than usual.

Given the state of dental health over 150 years ago and that a lot of data came from soldiers there may just have been a lot of inflammation going on.

If you are an attacker and targeting a specific user, then yes - you wouldn't know the password length. However, if you were able to breach LastPass and got a database containing hundreds of thousands or millions of users, you could safely assume that many would have average-length passwords, with lower entropy than machine-generated passwords. This means that using a combination of rules and dictionary-based attacks could indeed significantly reduce the search space.

I think the article also does a good job explaining why the claim that "you're safe because of 100,100 iterations of PBKDF2" is pure marketing BS, and LastPass is either being dishonest or intentionally misleading users.

It also made me appreciate even more 1Password's architecture, and a deeper understanding of the (mildly annoying) secret keys. The last paragraph is also great: the point of longer passwords is not as much to protect from a breach on their side, but to protect in case your own machine is breached*. Those are very different threat models, and always worth assessing them separately.

Disclaimer: I've been a long time user of 1Password, but the recent breaches indeed got me a bit worried about what would happen if AgileBits were ever in the same situation.
Jupyter notebooks seem to do this same thing better. This seems like it's own Lagrange to learn that's less extensible than python.

Yes, it's a conversion of 37C which is stupid since 37C is when I have a fever already
That's a very high Lizardman Constant.
The difference is a matter of trivial arithmetic, as may be seen by the Spanish example.
As someone who has always been 96.5/35.8 - I will say that having a higher body temperature being the standard works out well when you come running in flushed to your check-in gate at the airport, and they take your body temperature (Covid thing) - and you still come in well under the acceptable range.
> it's not clear how OS schedulers could nicely switch on-the-fly between cores with different instruction set capabilities

You would need a way for processes to signal the kernel that they have left a function that uses a higher instruction set and are thus available for moving to another core, plus a way for the kernel to signal processes to update their function pointers as appropriate for the new core they got moved to.

Simpler way: just turn off notifications. Look at it when you have time and you want to, not because your phone beeps.

Ideally notifications would only be used when your work colleagues or family members are trying to reach you, not for some random person's comment.

This is an Apple problem, not an OpenGL problem. Linux (and by extension Android, maybe Switch), Windows (and by extension Xbox), BSD (and by extension Playstation) all support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan. Apple has had issues supporting OpenGL since forever, and its OpenGL support (even before Vulkan) stagnated at 4.1, which was released ten years ago.

OpenGL is not deprecated at all. OpenGL 4.6 is a very, very modern API supporting things that many games still don't have, like mesh shaders, SPIR-V, etc.

I have both prime and B&N membership. Here are some of my thoughts:

1. Amazon is a terrible place to discover surprising reads. There is one day I was navigating the bookself in Technology sector, and found one book on the story of how Android is created. I didn't know this book exist, but now my interests can't be contained, and I want it NOW. The sense of discovery is awesome, and I am willing to pay for it.

2. B&N membership gives you basically a 10% discount StarBucks (unofficially, but pretty much the same), which is a sweet deal.

3. Amazon sometimes screwed up book versions. For example, I bought book 1&2 of the same series from Amazon, and book 1 arrived in UK format, while book 2 in US. This is an intolerable mistake for me as a collector. So I have to repurchase book 1 later from B&N in US format as I can no longer trust Amazon for it.

Overall, B&N now, is more of a socializing place for me than a retailer. I still use Amazon for books I can't find, but I don't mind pay a few more bucks to buy from B&N. Sometimes it is not all about money.

Funny you mention those two. They also suffer from the problem: “starts to break down after a long running thread before eventually becoming almost useless.”

Tolkien kept changing his world as he went along, so the Lord of The Rings required him to make changes to the Hobbit, and his Silmarillion needed extensive edits to bring it back into synch with LoTR canon.

As for Martin (assuming you mean G.R.R.)… well, he’s already mimicking that other failure mode of ChatGPT - that response times can get long when under load, and eventually the whole session might just time out.
The Longevity Benefits of Acarbose and Rapamycin–New Findings from the NIA ITP
I think that is unlikely because its not really about the state’s revenues, its about money circulating in the economy

they simply penalize people that try to hoard dollars and not circulate, via tax and inflation

so it doesnt matter to the government that rich people borrow against appreciated assets, if they spend the borrowing then vendors sell stuff and also pay tax on that. if they pay interest the bank gets that, usually. if they donate the loan proceeds or the assets thats fine too. if they invest it thats fine as well.

obviously almost no individual politician perceives it this way, and a law may be passed through their house, but the aggregate outcome is that risk and money circulating is incentivized by not being taxed, accumulation of just cash to hoard is disincentivized by heavy taxes.
You can make money with open-source. It is a development and business methodology that people can make. Several early investors and venture capitalists might consider it a not ideal choice. Sure, it has it is pros and cons, but on the other hand people invested in FTX so people are biased.
