Vinyl records have limitations determined by design decisions and physical properties.

For example deep bass and stereo separation are reduced on vinyl or the stylus would jump out of the groove.

FWIW, having used the Oculus Quest, my primary thought on how to make VR go mainstream is to reduce the size/weight/bulk of the headset. Strapping the battery to my waist/chest/back/leg/arm would be strongly preferable to having it on my head.

It's easy and convenient to snake a power cable down my shirt and into my pocket -- I do this all the time with my corded headphones to keep the wire out of the way.

I agree that it doesn't seem very "Apple" in that it's not a sexy solution, but there may be real physical constraints to battery size here that are not surmountable without a giant breakthrough in battery technology (that would probably be bigger news than anything VR related).

Dating Apps Are Not Broken
Yes, most apps are getting worst as they focus on monetization but honestly, more than half the people on dating apps should not be on there to begin with.

These liars, those not ready to date, those that don't know what the want and low-effort people ruin it for the rest of folks.

No one should treat apps like ordering apps but rather introduction apps. People should use them sparingly vs for 100% of their dating efforts.

Too many people dabble with apps, lack self-awareness or follow bad advice. Unless you change something about yourself, your app choice, your appearance, your social/communication skills, your photos, your grooming/hygiene or your lifestyle choices, nothing will change.

You said a separate fleet is better “for the folks and the budget” of New York, and added a parenthetical clarifying that it isn’t the answer. I’m agreeing with the second sentence, that a separate fleet isn’t the answer. I’m also refuting the first point, that it’s better than the status quo.

I don't know if I buy this. It feels like your confidence in what you say is closely tied to "knowing". I'm sure there is more research to do here, but I'm not sure if there is a need to "tie" it to some other system. As it stands today there are definitely things ChatGPT doesn't know and will tell you so. For example, I asked it, why did Donald Trump spank his kids -- and it said, "I do not have information about the parenting practices of Donald Trump".

That said, there are a lot of things it does get wrong, it would be nice for it be better at those. But I do think that, maybe much like humans, there will always be statements it makes, which are not true.
There we go. https://go.dev/cl/460537
I'm sorry but this is demonstrably false. I have posted examples of this on HN before. Yes, if you tell ChatGPT that it's wrong, in some cases it says "I'm sorry" and tries again (and produces some other random guess). But if you ask it "are you sure?" it invariably affirms that yes, it's sure and it's in the right.
He does cover this briefly: "Is it up to an app launcher such as Spotlight or Alfred?"

I'd be curious as to why he finds the F keys faster. Perhaps not having to wait for the bar to appear, not having to "context switch" by thinking about the app's name and not having to type anything.

He talks about how one key is his music software for example, so by simply remembering F6 it skips having to even know what the app's name is and having to potentialy pick the second of third choice of a list.

I remember all of those products seeming really expensive at launch, though I see your point. They've all become a bit cheaper but not significantly. What's also changed is my perception of what a reasonable cost should be. Spending $150 on AirPods to replace my cheap earbuds used to seem absurd but now it feels more defensible. If AR is a huge success the price will certainly come down, but perhaps only 30%-50% and spending the equivalent of a new Macbook on a headset starts to feel more reasonable.

This article IMO contributes to spreading the misinformation that HTTP/[23] is useful for many applications, when it is actually a very niche protocol only useful to web browsers, or other similar applications that continuously need to connect to endpoints they don't know in advance.

Web tech has already done sufficient damage by pushing HTTP/1.1 and SSL everywhere in IT, we don't need to force those protocols onto everything.
Agreed on all points, though I notice everyone says they are so expensive and hard to maintain, but nobody cites anything (not a criticism - I have no idea myself).

However, you don't need availability on every street, just enough to charge the vehicles sufficiently for the smaller streets.
At the same time Zoom issues probably have very little to do with the hardware.

The author's complaints are:

> We know this because we have hunter-gatherer populations who consume 50% of their diets in sugar (e.g. the Hadza) or fats (e.g. Intuit), and they have none of the diseases of abundance found in modern populations because they have near zero obesity.

The often-cited studies suggesting Inuit populations were protected from heart disease (Bang and Dyerberg, Feldman et al) comes from limited data which has since been refuted as unreliable and insufficient. The hypotheses they generated don't hold up to the greater balance of data we have, and despite attempts to confirm findings, it simply hasn't happened.

Some studies have suggested to a lesser degree that Inuit populations have marginally smaller rates of coronary artery disease (and other cardiovascular complications), but far more have determined that rates are the same or in some cases/time frames even worse, and risk of stroke has generally trended higher as well. These are all incidents of mortality which have a very, very high correlation with diets which are high in animal fats (as well as salt, regarding strokes).

Here is one very good look at this type of data, and if you look you can also find others: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25064579/

I agree that obesity is a major issue (especially in the case of sugar; it appears less harmful to the body when the sugar is needed and thus used immediately, but harmful when it hangs around and gets turned into fat. This is the main cause of the surge in fatty liver disease, for example), but there is very little and often very poor evidence that obesity is what causes atherosclerosis to occur and become a mortal danger. It seems to be dangerous regardless of weight, and exercise doesn't appear to be wholly protective against it either.

Inuits have actually served as a good example as to why this is true. Even when their obesity rates were lower, their lifestyles required more activity than average, and when studies accounted for BMI, their CAD rates were still on par with western populations according to most data.
Yeah, I don't understand this pattern of comment-making on the internet. For whatever reason, your comment was downvoted slightly so then you got targeted by people over and over again, even in subsequent replies, with the least generous interpretation of every comment made. I suspect your initial comment also triggered a reaction in saying "it's not a big deal", to which a bunch of people thought, "Oh yeah, well it's a real big deal actually!" despite this being a single article about a very specific situation in NYC, something HN readers will forget about in less than two weeks.

I do not see the point in downvotes on this site. It seems like any slightly political article/discussion results in this sort of behavior.

Weight is not that important for highway driving especially, where the vast majority of resistance comes from air and not rolling resistance. It’s mostly bad for ICE stop and go, where you have to get the whole car moving again from a dead stop repeatedly.
Agreed, I view cross-compiling as a hint that the platform isn't ready for general purpose use.

I bought a rk3588 arm widget for $120 ($140 with a nice metal case) with 8GB ram and 8 cores. I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and was able to compile Rust and Go from source. So far I'm impressed. It's pretty fast (about half as fast as my 2015 Xeon) at compiling Rust. It seems generally pretty usable aarch64 platform and bodes well for other aarch64 implementations. I believe the rk3588 requires a custom (not mainline) kernel, but I believe the important bits have been upstreamed and should appear soon ... hopefully.

Neat widget, no fan, cheap, and reasonably fast. Was something like 6-7 times faster than an Rpi4 at compiling rust.
It's a bit of a colloquialism, I think, but the idea is, all of your biological processes are constantly generating entropy.It is constantly tending toward a system in equilibrium, as physical systems do, but you are essentially made out of non-equilibrium systems. You need the water to be here, but not there. Your nervous system is based on electrical gradients that, left to their own devices, will normalize. Every cell has an electric potential gradient it maintains (google "cell proton gradient"). All of these things and thousands more are constantly breaking down and require energy to maintain. Basically, imagine the difference between a recently dead body that just attained ambient temperature and a living one. Characterizing all those differences would be more than the work of a lifetime.

A super abstract, but physically valid, way of expressing that is that your body is constantly "generating entropy" and it needs to consume energy to fight it. "Pumping out that entropy" is what the body is doing when it takes in energy and uses it to maintain all those gradients.

Life in general may not use organic chemistry, or chemistry at all, but the advantage of this level of abstraction is that any life form (in this universe) will have to do something to "pump out the entropy". It is essentially by definition a deviation from the equilibrium state around it, and it will require energy to maintain.

The point I am making here is that there must be some ability to pump out the entropy faster than it is being generated, or pushed in to the system. Otherwise those gradients and variations from equilibrium will be erased. Inside a sun, there is so much heat energy being pressed in to the system that it is challenging to imagine how any conceivable structure could push it back out again.

This boils down to the observation that "Holy cow, the sun is, like, REALLY HOT!", but, you know, wrapped up in a different formalism that allows us to get past "But what if, like, there's something that could deal with that?". You see this online, the challenge that someone needs to prove that there's no way to build something that could live in the sun. If you don't have thermodynamics as a tool, this isn't even necessarily unreasonable. But thermodynamics gives us a principled way to turn around and say "Any such system would have to have this and that and the other property, and it's really hard to see how plasma and magnetic fields in such a violent environment could have that." It's so not-close that it's not really plausible.

ChatGPT may be referring to the general conceptual space/idea that you can't just build a machine to "reverse entropy" trivially. The most common example of this is that you can't just build an anti-microwave, that remotely cools things by shooting radiation at it in some easy manner. It is sooooo much easier to add entropy than remove it; that is definitely true. In fact, it's kinda a key element of my point here. But you can pump entropy out of a system, in some ways, with some machines, in some manners; since you are literally such a machine yourself, you are an existence proof of that.
I first used AHK for macros in games. The scripts can even read pixels on the screen, play sounds or beep, execute programs, send mouse click/events. And of course send keyboard keys.

This is actually how we recommend our customers perform backups of our product. Crash-consistent snapshots of the entire VM's disk every so often. 100% of our installs are in virtualized/cloud environments, so this is a very convenient and natural way to go about things.

Some loss around the edges (and between snapshots) is understood and accepted by all. We've made it clear to our customers that by making this trade-off, we can vastly simplify operational costs around the system (i.e. we only need 1 self-contained VM per environment).

> It is best to let it heat up all the way to drive out as much moisture as possible.

I was always told to take the car for an actual drive (including a highway stretch) to achieve these ends, otherwise the moisture you're expelling accumulates in the exhaust system.

Looking around the neighborhood, I assume the people with the rusted-out mufflers are the ones that just let it idle.

- when you end up in the hospital, you don't want to be looked after by an underpaid overworked nurse

- when you go to get your car fixed, you don't want the people fixing it to be sick, tired, or worrying about things like whether they have enough money to feed their kids

- ditto for the ground crew servicing the plane you're flying on

- ... the list is endless

> As a manager I

> I have negotiated more vacation time for

> people that need those things should negotiate them.

People can't really negotiate these things because they don't come into these negotiations from a position of power. You, as a manager, and the company you represent have all the power in these negotiations.

You may view yourself as a good benevolent manager and you consider yourself lucky to have worked in companies that are good for some definition of good. This does not scale. You can't expect everyone to be lucky with their work and you can't expect everyone to have a manager who will magnanimously decide you're worthy of an extended vacation time.

You will also not going to be young and healthy forever.

i disagree because my dad got diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer with 300+ PSA values. This could've been diagnosed when it could still have been cured ( or managed) if they had done a simple blood test to "see how a person is doing" . blood tests are evidence based.

> where the medical system is focused less on charging people money and more on evidence based treatments, blood tests are done to find something specific, not to "see how a person is doing"

I am not sure what insurance you are using in USA but my insurance is super stingy about approving any blood tests that doctor doesn't think are super necessary. All the health influencers i mentioned in earlier comment seem to be paying out of pocket for tests like 'insulin sensitivity' because insurance doesn't pay for those.

Yeah IMO those colleagues didn't pull their weight to justify their titles (Sr. Director whatever). While Salesforce's titles are very inflated (Director at Salesforce maps to L6 in other companies), these were still senior talented folks drawing good salaries. I never saw if actually delivered something.
Salesforce ecosystem (Salesforce partners, consultants, customers etc) is great. but I am not very convinced by Salesforce's impact outside of its business activities. Their 1-1-1 pledge or stakeholder capitalism model isn't genuine. These are PR stunts where Salesforce could post some rainbow flag pictures or Matthew Mc's videos about global warming on social media. During my tenure at Salesforce it was possible to work for single digit hours per week and still be a top performer. The rest of the 'work' time was occupied by team socials, VTO activities and other shenanigans.

Having said that the number one thing Salesforce should culturally do is put more focus on what it's customers need. It is a sales and marketing organization, which it is very very very good at. But you can't just keep up by upselling stuff to customers. If you don't keep your customers happy, all this WLB doesn't really help.
It depends on where you are and what license you have, but generally LOS is different from VLOS (one means there are no obstacles between you, the other means you can't see it).

Generally, there are limits to how far you can go, but you can get a license and file flight plans.
While there is no doubt that 'CD Index' has been declining over time, it is debatable whether it truly indicates a drop in 'disruption'.

Let's take AI for example. Research papers that were published in 2019-20 have become obsolete within a year or less, and consequently get cited less and less, as more recent and derivative papers introduced better models. Does that make the older papers any less 'disruptive'? No!

That’s not true, you’re injecting your own biases.

Eg, crows have better eyesight and higher intelligence than many monkeys.

There’s a reason related to brain synchronization that you typically operate slower — that part is true. But AI already synchronize data and calculate with cascades; so that won’t change.

Further, you didn’t actually answer my point: even if AI clocks down significantly in that process, the increase in bandwidth is a trade off that benefits businesses over the other species. For the same reason that humans are the dominant hunters.

What you are describing is overspeccing (thus over paying upfront and for maintenance) of the large fleet in order to avoid having a small fleet.

(From a position of significant ignorance) It seems there is not a strong consensus on what has caused the great increase in obesity of the past fifty years, perhaps throwing greater effort in that direction would be a better long term solution ?

To my mind it's strange that there seems to be a circular argument which starts with sedentary life style and "bad" foods cause obesity so exercise and diet control seems like a fix but that is countered by exercise doesn't help (much) and dieting has only temporary effects.

If my summary is reasonably correct it seems to me what's needed is more understanding of the outcome before using drugs to "fix it".

I wonder if a drug is less likely to be lobbied against than the types of changes such investigations might suggest.
