OK - I am going to shit on the model that Lattice has, as a Human.

I AM NOT A RESOURCE to be tracked and measured in the same way as a machine/robot. I dont need dashboards of my performance....

The last company that I was at that employed such measures kept telling my my monthly bonus was $27,000

Then they came back and paid me $2,000 -- and blamed it on the client not paying (even though I made them MILLIONS) (SF) ... yeah ;;

Trying to tie an employees to their 'productivity' dashboard, vs value of contribution is BS.

The idea of tracking the KPIs and metrics they have make me puke.

-

If I had a startup currently, it feeds into the metastasizing of HR into companies...

Be a human. Never trust HR.

Not a robotic company, because if you are ;; you are nothing more than a 'Company Store' and we all know how well those workers did.

This is nothing about Lattice itself: its about how generally emps are treated regardless (driven by POS companies like McKinsy et al...)

It sounds like a definitional issue of what responsibility is. What "pain" should they "take"? And why?
Not saying anything of the sort. My initial question was centered on the idea of WA accounts being banned, something at least I did not recall encountering, while I did come across talk of FB accounts being banned, hence my query. I'm not making a judgement call on way or the other, whether they were just or not. Looks like WA accounts do get banned, just nowhere as frequently as FB accounts.
I don't think they said the aliens wouldnt study mold. Just that we would be like mold to them. We do study mold, they might to.
> Also, Hep C, HIV and herpes have no vaccine, so unclear what your statement is referring to anyway?

OP is talking about more vaccines as possible future mitigations - more vaccines as in new vaccines, not more vaccinations using existing ones (though that wouldn't hurt either.)
> Java, Kotlin and C++.

I just tried this and... no C++. You can add the NDK and start building stuff with C++, but that's also exactly how the Rust offering works. If the result was actually a properly configured out of the box C++ development environment that would be pretty nice besides the Android stuff, but it isn't, the actual result out of the box is you get to pick Java or Kotlin.

You can do C++ native development for Android, but only via basically the same route as Rust, there's just not the huge gap you implied.
That you don't see one just means that you don't see one and by shouting down anyone else who disagrees, as the HN hivemind has in every crypto thread I've seen to date, doesn't mean one exists, it just means that in this community a valid and good use case may as well not exist. People, including me, have tried to explain, many times, the valid use cases but HN at large disagrees and has made that distaste clear. That's fine but you'll forgive us for giving up. Those you disagree with aren't idiots, they just have a different perspective and don't see it as useless.
Ah, thank you, the post says "But as you could see from the video progress bar, I am not finished yet" but doesn't embed the video or have a link to it anywhere that I could see.

We know a surprising amount about their mechanics due to replication in the lab [1][2]. We don't have lots of observational evidence to support the lab effects accurately replicating the ocean, but I don't think we've generally seen evidence for lab surface water materially differing from ocean surface water.

> But frankly, investors often don't want an all-weather business.

So many of these startup aren't build around a solid sustainable business model but around an exit. Fuck the employees, fuck the customers, all leadership cares about is making it to an exit so they can all cash out. They all saw an opportunity to accelerate that cash out during the free money, everyone is a unicorn years, unfortunately most of them were never going to cash out and now that no one is throwing free money at them to keep their pipe dreams afloat, the employees and customers take the brunt of their greed while they waltz off to their next boondoggle.
Mentor Pilot on YouTube does a great job of discussing aircraft incidents and how the RCA almost always informs new regulations.
I'm really excited about seeing this on HN - the CEO of MarineLabs was my roommate in university!
Aside from the obvious flaws (Threema isn't secure: https://breakingthe3ma.app/), this is LARPing: the author wants to keep his chats secret, but he doesn't discuss why and from whom. This is amateurish, as your efforts should be defined by the threat model, not the other way around. How much effort is your attacker capable of? How much effort are you willing to spend on opsec, a notoriously hard and inhuman task?

There's a whole difference if you want to keep your affair secret from your wife, your small-time weed dealing from the police, your spy ring from the FBI, coordinating anti-Russian attacks in Ukraine, or a Chinese resident resisting the regime.
Higher frequency means smaller and therefore lighter transformers, which is very important on aircraft. Nowadays a DC voltage supply would be better, but DC to DC voltage converters didn't exist when the 24V 400Hz standard was created.

For mains voltage we use 50-60 Hz because lower frequencies work better with very large AC generators in power plants and, and lower frequencies are more efficient to transmit long distances.
You can't write to SQLite from multiple processes either, so you mitigate that exactly the same way you do for a desktop app (i.e. show "Can't access DB for writing because other instance is running")
One could sit and read 10 pages of groveling for forgiveness but it still won't replace the paycheck that's going away. It would likely be about as effective as a spouse begging for forgiveness after getting caught in a multi-year affair.

I don't live in the UK nor work anywhere near the energy sector, and yet I found this a really fascinating, clear read that opened my eyes to many issues I'd never considered before. Thanks.
It's only $250K per account category per bank. So 5 savings accounts would only get $250K in coverage in total.
Takes me 2 minutes to microwave a $2 can of chili. The can is worth about 2 meals. The trip to the store, once a week.

Driving to Taco Time every day takes time, gas, and costs $20 for a meal.

Ironically, I microwave meals and such not because I'm poor, but to save time. I dislike going to restaurants and even McBurger because it takes too much time.

Another meal I like takes less than a minute. Pour some oats in a bowl. Add raisins. Add milk. Ready to eat. I doubt it costs 50 cents. Or make a couple cheese sandwiches with butter and a pickle.
There was an article the other week:

Obviously it depends on ability to scale, but UK rad heating systems are usually rated for 50 or 60C, thus this seems to fit the bill.
All I want is a commitment from the company to provide a couple of qol firmware updates. System 76 has burned me in the past in this regard.

> it's also surprising how many privacy policies link to dead URLs or email addresses

Agreed, many privacy policies I've come across are crap and seem like it was copy/pasted from elsewhere. I just recently tried to delete an account last week, and the email address in their privacy policy was literally "support@[company]1234.test".
This feels hard to justify. Does it eliminate usage? Of course not, bans are the closest you can get to that. Seems somewhat safe to say it does reduce it, though.

https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explainer/... and most of the other links I'm seeing all point roughly to decent results. No panacea, but that is rather unfair for any policy.
That isn't how that works.

Its $250k per account type, per institution. So 5 savings accounts at the same institution doesn't increase your insurance over 1.

Some banks will "sweep" the excess funds into partner banks (which would increase protection).
I'm not sure how they'd work to be honest. The doubts I have about them:

* How would the heat be moved around the house?

* Obtaining permission to modify the exterior of a multi-occupancy dwelling is extremely difficult.

* You'd still require a source of hot water, reducing the already small savings over an efficient combi-boiler.

Based on the estimated savings of the Energy Saving Trust, it'd take around 26 years to pay off a £3k install that replaces a modern combi-boiler[0] and that's without the cost of using electricity to provide heated water. As recently as March of this year Which claimed most houses would have paid an extra £80/year if running a heat pump[1].

They could be a good choice for completely new installs and people stuck on resistive electric heating if they can find a way to disperse the heat evenly. I'd bet a lot of money that the majority of properties with electric heating are rentals, good luck convincing a landlord to pay for anything.

I assume there is a detailed testing procedure specified by the FAA, and they would replace any bad components.

But because of the servo loop feedback, most of the components aren't critical to accuracy. (Note that the internal power supplies are entirely unregulated.) If the motor slows down, for instance, it will still end up at the right location. The potentiometer is really the critical part, but it shouldn't change very much. And if it does change, as long as the resistance changes uniformly, it will still be okay.
Well Rust has already passed 1.0, so it makes sense that it's more stable. Rust is also twice the age of Zig.
If you start measuring something (wave height) and detect a high value in, say, the first year, you better have a very good reason the think the event happens every 1000 years. Especially if you are measuring a few points in a very large ocean.
One way I can think of is to use a mirror or something reflective that is placed in front of a platform that have the collapsible chair fixed on to as you need.
The mirror needs to be placed at a certain angle so that the viewer see whats reflected by the mirror, and, see what actual is "in front of the mirror". This would cover what's behind.

Or you try to reproduce this kind of principle https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YCHvpf2gDIk/maxresdefault.jpg or the "levitating man" that can often be seen on the streets.

The helping structure can be aligned along the chair's backside-face and just needs a fixing beneath the water
> But the human reviewers didn't do much better: they correctly identified only 68% of the generated abstracts and 86% of the genuine abstracts. They incorrectly identified 32% of the generated abstracts as being real and 14% of the genuine abstracts as being generated.

Isn't the headline actually "Abstracts written by ChatGPT fool scientists 1/3 of the time"? Having never written one myself, wouldn't the abstract be the place where ChatGPT shines, being able to write unsubstantiated information confidently? I imagine getting into the meat of the paper would quickly reveal issues.
> So that could artificially make it look like we've gotten better at treating cancer, when actually we've just gotten better at detecting non-life-threatening cancer.

No, because the death rate is measured at the population level, not at the incidence level. Fewer people are dying today of cancer than 30 years ago.

The only way that detection bias could impact that outcome is if you make the argument that a large number of terminal cancer cases were going undetected in 1991 at the time of death.
You really need to move somewhere else.

1.5 shootings per week for 7 years straight is not okay.

Please, move.
Writing text that feels plausibly real is ChatGPT’s specialty.

Fake scientific papers that are written with the language, vocabulary, and styling of an academic paper have been a problem for a long time. The supplement and alternative medicine industries have been producing fake studies at high volumes for years now. ChatGPT will only make it accessible to a wider audience.
I don't understand. 1420 / month after food is enough to live on. It's enough for two used car payments of 20k / each, plus 200/month for gas, plus cell phone and internet bills and water/power bills. Medical bills? Yes, I agree that is singularly problematic.
On further looking I agree it's a late 70s Alfetta; just the angle it is mainly shown at makes the trunk look shorter.
The American Medical Association does not control the number of doctors. The primary bottleneck in producing new doctors is limited federal (Medicare) funding for residency programs. The AMA has been actively lobbying Congress to increase the number of doctors.

One thing that I find hard to understand is how the electricity prices in the UK have gone up so dramatically (blaming gas prices) when a large amount of the electricity is not generated from gas. Is the price being artificially inflated?
They're quite rare, but my understanding is that they can come from an angle different from the prevailing winds / waves, so it's something else.
https://www.covidmoneytracker.org/

Capitalism still works. You can only price gouge where you have a monopoly and unless you're proposing some massive intra/inter-industry wide conspiracy the answer is still simple inflation.

For that matter, Seth presumably knows better about things like press releases and investor decks. They may be formulaic. But those had better be real approved quotations and legal is going to want to see backing for any claims you're making or numbers you're using. Writing the press release is pretty much trivial. It's all the other stuff that's hard.
Curtailment, like negative prices, seems like something that it is hard for people to have constructive conversations about.

Probably the cheapest and best option is to build more wind and not care too much if it increases curtailment.

Yes, all the things mentioned should be looked into and done when it makes financial sense but "wasting wind" is much less a thing to worry about than "burning gas", and I'd rather waste wind than waste money.
I agree. The website is heavy on theory and very light on practical usage.
Your point just illustrates how shallow this analysis is.
Considering how much intentionally fake garbage got published, this doesn't surprise me at all... and this is not just random scientists, but scientists who should (atleast theoretically) know enough to be able to notice it's gibberish.

I would imagine that as gas prices shoot up, demand dramatically increases for electricity.
> Regarding creating physical addresses, the Data Science Professor wrote to Javice, “I can’t seem to find addresses in my raw files . . . . Should I attempt to fabricate them?” Javice responded “I just wouldn’t want the street to not exist in the state.” Later, the Data Science Professor determined that “‘real addresses’ may not be doable,” and Javice responded “If we can’t do real addresses what[’]s the best we can do for that?” …
Javice was particularly concerned with the email addresses, asking the Data Science Professor “will the fake emails look real with an eye check or better to use unique ID?” He responded “[t]hey will look fake,” at which point Javice agreed to use a “unique ID” instead.

The stupidity is mind boggling -- imagine leaving such a clear written trace of fraud.
Unfortunately, getting to an asteroid requires emitting quite a bit of pollution on our own planet first.
I'm reminded of the somewhat recent news of a line of Alzheimer's research being based on a fabricated paper that was only caught many years later [0].

Previously, we've relied on a number of heuristics to determine if something is real or not, such as if an image has any signs of a poor photoshop job, or if a written work has proper grammar. These heuristics work somewhat, but a motivated adversary can still get through.

As the quality of fakes gets better, we'll need to develop better tools to dealing with them. For science, this could, hopefully, result in better work replicating previous works.

I'm quite likely being overly optimistic, but there's a chance for positive outcomes here.

Others have described why 400 Hz is useful. But I'll mention that this frequency is very inconvenient for using the box on the ground. Fortunately CuriousMarc had some vintage HP boxes that we could use. We ended up hooking up an HP 3310A function generator to an HP 6824A DC power supply amplifier to produce the power for the indicator.
In Italy we use "etto" (100g) a lot, especially with groceries/deli.
Looks like Zbb is where the "CPOP" and related instructions (popcount, count leading/trailing zeroes) live.

Zba ("and-not" etc.) and Zbs (single-bit) are more obscure and less important. Zbc (carry-less multiply) is interesting.
Change is the most common reason for breaking things. Moving fast means more broken things, hence the slogan. The alternative is indeed move slow, break things less often. It's a bad strategy when you NEED a LOT of change. But if you don't NEED a LOT of change, and you do need a lot of stability, it seems perfectly valid?
Surprise, surprise. And yet, Big Oil continued to launch campaigns designed to deflect responsibility from companies and governments away to individual consumers, like BP's "carbon footprint" [1].

When will those responsible be held accountable for helping to advance the destruction of climate and the immense loss of life and property that climate change has brought?

How can we explain to our children and grandchildren why we did nothing to hold them accountable?

Mr. Reddit,

Do you see these changes in Reddits favor? Or do you feel that Reddit has lost its vision, vs. supporting the path they are on?
Yeah, it was definitely not what I was expecting in terms of balance between the science and the surfing personalities. My impression was that she really lacked enough hard science material (that was sufficiently interesting given the audience). I will admit that in the end I was way more interested in the big wave surfing, a topic I really didn't appreciate before.
In this case the word is a direct quote from Geoffrey Supran. While the headline writer chose to emphasise it, the writer definitely didn't find it in a thesaurus.

Australian Bank ANZ closes its FX website services after hours.
oh wow, that was a surprisingly awesome story. thanks for sharing!

this maaaay be covered in the Pile's writeup (which i have not yet read) but i wonder who was curating the overall "mix" of the content. seems easily biased to, say, public domain books, since the corpus is easily available.

when people say things like "GPT3 has been trained on all of the internet" i suspect this is a gross exaggeration. In reality it's just C4/commoncrawl, so that's like 800GB of text.
So does NZ.... Man this place blows especially in Canterbury where I am. Nearly every single day it's windy enough that it annoys and sometimes ruins being outside. I must say 3 to 4 times a week 'f** this windy hole' to someone.

Sitting in the roaring 40s trade winds why doesnt NZ have more wind generation is baffling.
I too was alive in those times and I remember them very well. I remember a doctor visit meant a pack of Kent or a bag of coffee beans. How a kind's school year meant a deodorizer or some soap for the teacher. How a promotion or advancement meant joining the Party or ratting on your coworkers to the Secret Police.

Just in a different EE country, not in GDR - I must specify. Here we were starving. And they did gave the order to fire - the troops obeyed.

I must also admit that we are extremely skeptical of anything coming out of the ex-GDR around here. We know it was thoroughly infiltrated by the KGB and Stasi controlled everything in the country. We also watched Merkel making the whole Germany dependent on Russian energy, practically delivering it in Putin's hands - who was in KGB in GDR...
Sure, it's not hard to hit cmd-q instead of cmd-w, I think the general question is "what's the benefit to me, the user, of having an app still running (and in memory, until it gets paged out to disk) without any windows open?" Obviously there are some kinds of apps that it makes sense to have running in the background all the time, but we're talking about text or image editors, say. I find it to be sort of annoying.
or, more thinly traded markets are easier for remaining participants (e.g. Binance, Tether) to manipulate :) I'm not saying that is the case, but it's an alternate hypothesis.
This is awesome. I've seen a much simpler one of these (and other things) behind the firewall and was pretty amazed at how much is really back there. To see that the systems are as reliable as they are, and that they tell you when they aren't (e.g. this ASI's fault checking), is really cool from my perspective and I believe has carried forward to more modern avionics.

I really freaking love avionics. I'd love to get into software development at an avionics company but I have no clue where to start with that.

And make every website part of a botnet? I sure hope not.

WebSockets are already a problem because many web devs don't know that other origins can connect to them and potentially fetch data they're not supposed to (even ignoring the fact you can construct these without a browser), unleashing raw sockets to the web platform would be hell.

WebRTC and WebSockets provide more than enough already. If you need even more, your browser just isn't the place for this type of code IMO.
