> Rally in the 80s until 1986 was insane. There was the class B with some of the most powerful rally cars ever built

Strictly speaking true; but in practice peak power didn't end up being that critical and rally cars soon became faster even with less power. Also the ultra-high power period only lasted few years, maybe 84-86 or so (modern WRC car produces 380 HP which afaik is more than any 1983 championship competitor)
Ancient royal tomb unearthed in Egypt by archaeologists
I'm not sure there's a well defined line for that "birth" -- especially if looked at by a well-advanced civilization. Maybe "technological civilizations" have a tendency to destroy themselves pretty quickly and it becomes wasted energy to intervene too early. So perhaps an external viewer might look at more of a fuzzy demarkation of a few thousand years. Are we there yet?
The amount of the work taken is just one of the fair use factors. Courts often perform holistic analysis on all of them to decide if fair use applies.
This one? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34364975
As usual, actual numbers for water/land/pesticide use (5%/3%/0%), but the only mention of electricity use is the fraction of green power.

Of course, the use of green power is positioned as an unalloyed good. No mention is made of the fact that every electron used is taken away from the transition from fossil fuels. We're losing ground here, not gaining it.

We're supposed to forget that the goal is to increase green energy production, not enormous new energy sinks.

"Just use green power" isn't the get-out-of-thermodynamics-free card people think it is.

Researcher questions China's population data, says it may be lower
I stayed in a place with a window that rattled intermittently. It was reflecting harmonics from an active radon gas exhaust pipe in the wall below.

Shoving a paper shim in between the window and the window frame dampened things well enough for me to continue to sleep.
I believe in simulation for those reasons. I really enjoy the physics sims but be found online and they have helped me develop a better intuition on topics than my college courses did.

That said, I don’t know how to apply it to my everyday life and work. I don’t know what kinds of inputs are required for meaningful models to be possible. I don’t even know where to start with tooling, other than raw scripting. Any suggestions for starting points?
I have had the exact same discussion as we're having now many times since Twitter released the For You timeline. Never managed to pin-point to a specific behavior, everyone seems to get a different one.

Not surprised than Elon's Twitter's isn't better. In one hand I welcome their revert to tabs for "For you / Timeline", at least, it's easy to know you aren't reading the correct timeline…
It's a common misspelling in Canada which allowed me pickup the domain name. I didn't realize it when I purchased the name many years ago. When I was trying out a few domain names in google this name is the one name that didn't seem to exist as a crm.

‘Excuuuuse me, Princess ’: An oral history of The Legend of Zelda cartoon
The person I'm replying to is posting in bad faith, as others on this thread have inferred from the fact that "months of BLM and Antifa rioting" only happened in the poster's mind. Starting with the fact that Black Lives Matter is a police reform movement and Antifa isn't an organized group at all.

Meanwhile the police departments in cities where there was unrest (and in many other places) were subsequently shown to be infiltrated members of brownshirt gangs that are very real organized armed groups. They have names like 3%'ers, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and other named organized armed neofascist groups, several of which participated in a coup attempt in the nation's capital with the coordination of members of the Trump White House inner circle.
Still looks interesting, but I was hoping The Phoenix Project was a post-mortem of the Phoenix Pay System (scandal) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_pay_system
If we change our orbit to get further away, we'd need to increase our forward velocity, right? By doing that, we'd change the length of the year. Would it be possible to achieve a stable orbit so that the increased speed is offset by extra distance from the increased orbital radius? I'd really hate to have to learn a new calendar system.

Also, would the mass of Earth gradually moving location in the solar system disrupt other objects like say maybe something in the asteroid belt? Would that disruption then start a chain reaction of other objects having their orbits perturbed to the point we've now unleashed a new season of asteroid danger? What about the decreased distance to Jupiter? Big boy will have some strange affects on earth too would he not? Would we lose our moon to the pull from Jupiter? What happens to our tidal systems at that point? Would the loss of the moon be countered by the new tidal pulls from Jupiter?

So many questions
I would add that clubs, gyms, and meetups are a good, often free or very cheap option as well. Running, biking, skateboarding, climbing, calisthenics/acrobatics, board games, maker groups, art, music… all have very low cost of entry and likely have communities in any town or city.

I feel compelled to also add that while it seems well-meant, I think the tone of your last paragraph is a bit unproductive. A lot (most? all?) of us, at some point, fall out of the habit of exercising our senses of curiosity and wonder and trying new things. This can be caused by many combinations of family, economic, and social conditions, or for some, because of chemistry (ie “serious depression”). Therapy is indeed a good way to develop the skills to work against this and identify whether it’s actually a chemical problem in need of a chemical solution. But it doesn’t help to go straight to calling this “serious depression” needing “professional help.” Literally all of us can benefit from therapy, and making it out to be a big deal and putting labels on people makes many less likely to pursue it.

Having children at 35 Didn't seem to be a problem decades ago.. like with many of the other newly popular maladies I think that it has to do more with stuff in our environment poisoning our sperm/ovaries than simply "aging". We might never find the culprit of course because it will hurt X big corporation bottom line.
Oh, this implies you're deploying your entire infrastructure, from provisioned resources up to application services, with a single Terraform command, and managed by a single state file. That's fine and works up to a certain scale. It's not the context I thought we were working in. Normally multi-service architectures are used in order to allow services to be deployed independently and without this form of central locking.
Making the case for using insects as food for both humans and livestock
> Google is so entrenched

This entrenchment is what makes a company like Google fat and lazy and take their users for granted. Behaviour that we are seeing growing year by year. If they stop paying Apple to be the default in Safari (or the government says they can’t, or Apple just decides to kick them in the shins the way they did to Facebook with anti-tracking tech), users would go to whatever else became default. I.e. there is no sacred loyalty earned that would cause anyone to take actions to switch back.

FWIW, literally every non-tech person who I’ve switched to DDG has been happier with the results when I’ve asked them what they thought.
I don't understand what problem this is meant to actually since. We have no shortage of land or water in most of the world. Aside from some tiny cases like nuclear bunkers or space colonies this remains a pet project.
> wayland compositor is still a lot more work than writing

If you speak about a probably working one instead of a toy one the difference between X11 and wlroots isn't that big AFIK.

It's just that with X11 you could create a toy compositor with very little lines of code and that's not possible anymore.

But then toy compositors also kinda don't matter in the grater picture so it's not really a problem.

I'm an older GenX and can state that my high school chem teacher was more about checking how we kept our lab notebooks (neat handwriting, correct spelling and notation, no doodles) than about doing any cool practicums. I got a C minus.

I did try making the tear gas recipe from Anarchists Cookbook in the crawlspace under a friend's house. Gas of some sort escaped from a stoppered flask midway through the process - I don't know if it was anything close to actual teargas, but the stench was memorable! We rolled out from under the house gagging and laughing, very happy his mom wasn't home.

We utterly failed in our subsequent attempt to make thermite. In retrospect, maybe that C minus was generous.
Pro tip: instead of going to your favourite shop by car paying lots of gas, get in there free on feet.

Thanks for caring enough to be open.

Depending on the intensity these perfumes can cause anything from allergic-type reactions to migraines. At the very least they can be annoying to people with sensitive noses. I'm just annoyed by these scents, though very rarely they can trigger or exacerbate a headache if I'm on the verge of a headache. But others are far more sensitive, or far more on edge (such as chronic migraine sufferers who have to take active measures to avoid triggering a migraine).

Some laundry detergents aren't nearly as bad as others. I don't know if yours is.

One VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is that constant exposure to particular scents (or scents in general) will desensitize your own nose to them. Others don't have to have a particularly sensitive nose to be aggravated by a particular perfume, they just have to not be constantly exposed to it.

Some tips if you're trying to be considerate: 1) Use only as much detergent as you need to. 2) Avoid scented dryer sheets (or avoid dryer sheets in general). 3) Avoid products that advertise "longer lasting scent". 4) Avoid any products advertised along the lines of "odor blast!".
Well said. But with the nuances you added we’ve moved away from meritocracy to a more sensible, less binary framework. You added solidarity, common sense and tough love.
Really? You are being disingenuous.

It is a long way from "pulses on GPIO pins" to a print statement.
There was a credit card attached to my bank account. If I buy something, the money disappears from my bank account on a fixed day of the month. I have no idea about how to influence that payment, and it seems not available in the web UI. I have no idea how not to pay that money, or how to dispute charges with it. Presumably I can visit the bank. But it has no chip and pin, so if anyone has the number and means ill, my money disappears. So it basically behaves like a very insecure debet card with a delay, i.e. I have to manually validate the payments corresponds to what I've done every month. It mostly seems a hassle to me. As I have no credit score that I know of, I also have no idea about how the bank wants to punish me if I don't pay them. I got it in the past to buy stuff from US websites, but payment processors accept my other means of payment by now. In fact, it expired over a year ago and I never saw a need to renew it.
I also code in production
Google is slow and institutional because they can afford to be.

At some point the search/ads people are so good, and they are insanely good, that there isn’t much pressure for anyone else to show PnL.

These men and women are gods and goddesses in their fields, and if their worst fault is funding some iffy shit and giving us Blink and Android I can live with it.

Their sideline vertical video business is highly competitive with TikTok and Reels and all they had to do was shit they knew already.

The Google people are scary good.
Back in the 80s, when I was early in college and still thought I wanted to be an EE, we did this for a project. It sounds trivial, but it was one of the most educational things I ever did.
You’re right. I meant spread the joy by engineering the probability to guarantee more winners.
thanks -- great post. I think i'm coming round to the idea of faking some data, but need to think through how to do this well. We use the faker lib in JS, but phony looks pretty tight also - thanks for the suggestion.
I don't disagree with you. For what it's worth I was contrasting living in the country v living in the city. I suspect living in the suburbs has much the same problem as living in the city.

Theres a paradox where city living is a more efficient way of living a first world lifestyle, but doing so divorces you from what you're trying to protect.

TBH IDK the book was mentioned on HN and I figured I'd check it out.
If I recall correctly one of the things that slows FastAPI RPS down is pydantic, though there is active development to make a rust-based core for that too which is supposed to be ~10x faster.
It's crazy humans have evolved in less than 0.1% (300k years) of that lower range. Most of our time is still ahead of us.
more likely because women who are taller tend to be more selective about their partner (they want them to be taller than them).. which means they end up having babies at a later age.
20% sounds about right on the figures I’ve heard, but on a big build that is massive.
Gmail initially offered very big email storage space comparing the others, and it was going up continuously until its storage area merged with Google Drive.
PyO3 is great. It makes it super straightforward to write Python extensions in Rust.
well yes, testing the deployment of some code is not the same as testing the subsequent operation of it, after that deployment
I think these hypothetical "nimble" competitors don't exist, or would be overestimating their nimbleness with respect to Google. Google has spent decades becoming incredibly nimble in the way that counts in their industry: their foundation of software and systems is so refined that they can write and launch a product in no time flat. There are almost no technical hurdles standing in the way of anyone at that company. It's not some kind of abusive behavior by Google, it's just them being a tough competitor.
I don't hate content but is it really relevant to HN?
I’m not worried about DRM exactly, I’m worried about being able to play the games on Linux. I don’t love DRM but I’m pragmatic about it.

The problem is specifically this DRM. Bespoke DRM that injects assembly seems like another layer of stuff that will break Proton and, when it does, there will be no one to support it.
I heard the same things about Microsoft in the 90s. MS still dominates the desktop OS, but newer platforms emerged that reduced the importance of the desktop.

Even now the importance of the surface web, which is Google's bailiwick, is diminishing.
No mention of the actual change is speed, only its orbital period around its partner. Also no mention of changes in the orbit of the pair around the sun. It's cool to have both, but the bigger picture is more important even though the effect is certainly less impressive sounding.

I was always wondering how far they knocked it off its original path. As in, if it were on a path to hit Earth and we impacted it at the same distance away, how far would it miss Earth by?
> The main cause of the losses is said to be from loan-loss provisions (when a bank sets aside money as an expense for future loans it expects won’t be repaid).

So no actual losses, and a year from now when those losses don't appear, they will record a magic billion dollar profit.
turn the vent on and open a window on the opposite side, that will neutralize the negative pressure.

I think you hit the nail on the head with empathy. Empathy is contextual, subjective and real. It cannot be pinned down with rules, it’s too humane and powerful for that.
> We may choose to think of brains, and our human brains in particular, as the bees-knees. Objectively, they are not though. Just one of many successful branches of the tree of life.

Consider that our brains are the only organ on the planet that is able to understand the concept of life, reason about itself and all other life around it, understand the concept of evolution, and even conceptualize time billion of years into the past and future.

Not all life on this planet has evolved even though it had the potential to do so.

If we attribute "advanced" as evolutionary steps rather than the inaction of simply existing then clearly we are more advanced than a bacteria. However I will concede your point for other multicellular life.
I disagree. You will find this hard to believe but I have never used the app launcher or Spotlight. Full disclosure: I bought my first Mac in 1988 (Macintosh SE) for my then 5-year-old daughter and have used Macs ever since.
Kilos of TATP sounds like insanity. There's a documented case of around 60grams killing a Swedish teenager.

I pretty much only work on companies that I believe will improve the world. I started (in the 80s) before is became a cynical trope (thanks, dot-commers and poseurs) and have continued.

So I have worked on:
-- making free software viable (late 80s/mid 90s)
-- making Internet access available to non-businesses (late 80s/mid 90s)
-- reducing drug dosage (bad for people, bad for the water supply) (mid 00s)
-- Distributed solar thermal with storage (early 10s)
-- Climate repair (starting 20s)

Alan Kay said ""The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Less grandiosely, I work on the future I wish to live in.
That’s not readable at all. Chaining ternary operators like that is much worse than the code the article shows.

Maybe it’s a stylistic choice, but there’s nothing wrong with a sequence of “else ifs” as long as you don’t go deeper (like in the example)
Your insurance company, every bank transaction you make (ATM withdrawals , money transfers, check payments, etc), flight that you book, and countless other things run on IBM mainframes and and a huge catalog of IBM software. The world would not function without that company. Notice I did not call out any specific companies like a specific airline because it’s truly across the board. Mind blowing isn’t it?
> I keep forgetting how I built something time and again.

This happens to everyone. If you keep building the same thing then you will remember. For example, if you build your own personal site then you might forget. But if you had clients and built personal sites every week/month, then you would obviously not forget :)
If RISC-V is a success, we are talking about a kernel coded using risc-v assembly (with a conservative usage of a preprocessor and maybe simple code generators written in assembly themselves or using a high level language which interpreter is written in assembly).

Not to mention that it seems porting from one modern ISA to another, is not that hard.

On the long run, that means no planned obsolescence anymore from the ISO C syntax and gcc extensions (you know _that_ extension you now need to compile linux... which was added to gcc 2 weeks ago).
It is so implausible that the training process that creates LLMs might learn features of human behavior that could then be uncovered via experimentation? I showed, empirically, that one can replicate several findings in behavioral economics with AI agents. Perhaps the model "knows" how to behave from these papers, but I think the more plausible interpretation is that it learned about human preferences (against price gouging, status quo bias, & so on) from its training. As such, it seems quite likely that there are other latent behaviors captured by LLMs and yet to be discovered.
If it's what I'm thinking about, I think they were forced to have decentralized image caching (i.e. the "user" is the one downloading images, Google just indexes).

LAION-5b is also just an indexer (in terms of images).
Absolutely fucking don't. In high school, my, uh, friends tried out many of the experiments in it, in ways we "thought were safe". I later got a degree in chemistry and learned actual lab hygiene, and looking back, hooo boy, it's terrifying all the ways in which things could have gone wrong.

Like nearly burning down my friend's garage, were it not for some quick thinking.

By all means, amateur chemistry is a great hobby, and I think the 2000s swung too hard into nanny state stuff post-9/11. But anarchist's cookbook is an exemplar of the wrong way to do things. Watch NileRed, NurdRage, That Chemist, etc.

You're complaining about the smell of grilling. The other poster is complaining because they're vegan and they don't like the smell of cooking meat?

At some point people are just going to complain because they don't want to be a decent neighbor and just deal with it.

The neighbor is firing up the grill because they enjoy grilling.
