>This sort of argument--that those reports must be inaccurate, because--well, I'm not sure why you you think these reports are inaccurate, except that you think they must be. And that's not a reason.

It's happened before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead and not just with her. It's more prevalent in anthropology then in other sciences.

This is just an educated guess. If you provide actual sources I can verify what the academic community thinks of these reports or findings, and really that's the only best available metric I can go off of.

>I'm also pretty sure any linkage of serotonin to hierarchy is unproven.

Science cannot prove anything. Be very careful with your language. Especially in the social sciences where things are less quantitative... proof is fundamentally impossible. There is only evidence in favor of and evidence against.

Evidence in favor of serotonin and hierarchy:

Interesting! I guess you need a good teacher, or you could just be "different to the bell curve". I mean theoretically every little thing is going to have potentially different effects for everybody. But I want to ask...so even doing something like box breathing (4 counts inhale - 4 hold full - 4 exhale - 4 hold empty - ... repeat), give you feeling of mild hypoxia / euphoria / dizziness / like an inhalant?

Also, this will probably sound judgy so I'm sorry but I'm really curious: do you normally have trouble walking up stairs, get out of breath easily, or feel faint when changing body positions?
If you're just looking to find podcasts to listen to that are new to you, I'd say word of mouth. For example, ask your friends and colleagues. Or ask around on Twitter, Reddit, HN, etc. Or search for conversations where people have shared recommendations.

For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34056715
I don't know what you remarks you are referring to here, but Jay's insight on vaccines has been measured, reasonable, and, as evidence goes, accurate. He hasn't been a detractor with regard to mRNA in particular, and encouraged risk-stratified uptake of the vaccines.

He is an authority of impeccable integrity in epidemiology, buttressed by his prescience during this pandemic. He has been a friend since well before GBD, and I'm very proud of the way he has handled the asinine attempts at assassination on his character.
I realize this may seem callous, but time is zero-sum, and I would personally rather spend my time weeping about kids who will need to move and lose their friends because of these layoffs. Or first-time job holders who can't recover as easily from this kind of career event.

Just saying
What does any of that have to do with passenger EVs?
I believe that's how the guy from Die Antwoord started as well.

His first rap persona was a clean-cut, well put together lyrical genius with a flow and voice to back it up. It flopped.

Then he tries again covered in tattoos and a "ghetto" look and raps about sex, drugs, violence. Makes millions.

Appealing to the lowest common denominator is usually the best for profits.
> Lithium batteries are toxic waste that doesn't get recycled well yet

Actually it does get recycled well, especially with larger batteries. There's just been very little that actually needed recycling that was sufficient to run a business. There's many smaller size businesses making healthy profit off lithium battery recycling already.

Here's two examples:

Yeh, the grammar is bad, more like "age of parents at conception".
It is a failure of our industry that this is the best option for a lot of small businesses.
Right; I'm just going on what I'm reading in your post, which I assumed was the full thread.

Obviously I don't know what this "Melvin" person thinks or feels, but a number of things in your emails would elicit a "fuck you"-response for me. Even though your frustration might be understandable – I really hate dealing with this kind of stuff too – that's rarely helpful.

I don't know if you've ever done support work, but typically you need to deal with a lot of genuine assholes and unreasonable people, and people tend to contact support when something isn't working, so they're already more frustrated (i.e. angry) than average. So it's not surprising that in support people tend to get a bit more defensive than normal, and jump to conclusions faster. "Oh, another asshole".

And you need to answer n tickets every day, and response times are often monitored as well. You don't have time to carefully reflect and think about things for 10 minutes over a coffee. If someone on HN replies and my immediate feeling is "fuck you" I typically let it be, and maybe reply a few hours later, or the next day, or not at all. You don't really have this option in support.

There's also the art of "white lies" here. Instead of going on in detail on why Bugcrowd doesn't work just say there are technical issue with Bugcrowd or something like that. No need to explain they erroneously closed your report because "they shat the bed".
Exactly. ChatGPT is clearly very impressive and useful, but nothing from its output should be treated as valid or factual to any degree.

Information generated by humans will include things like transpositional errors, logical errors, popular misconceptions, and misinterpretations of data. Mistakes happen, but human mistakes are at least tethered to real thoughts/information.

On the other hand, AI will happily spin up a complete fabrication with zero basis in reality, give you as much detail as you ask for, and dress it all up in competent and authoritative-sounding prose. It will have all the style of a textbook answer, while the substance will be pure nonsense.

Still a great tool, but only with the caveat that you approach it with the mindset that it's actively set out to catch you off guard and deceive you.
I think you'd come out ahead reinvesting dividends (play with a calculator like https://dqydj.com/nikkei-return-calculator/), but yeah, the returns are abysmal even accounting for that. They've had low to no inflation for decades but even the nominal returns aren't good. I am not sure how the returns look if you account for cost averaging vs. lump sum investing.
These are all novel cultural values not common in any traditional society with normal birth rates. In fact, this attitude is one reason why birth rates are so low.

It is totally normal to expect children to care for you in your old age. The guarantee is that other people can and should ostracize people for not caring for their parents. When an acquaintance tells me they don't visit/call/care for their parents with pride, I make a mental note to not be friends with that person. If you can't keep the most basic relationships straight... that's not a great sign, realistically.

No one is obliged to do anything. I am saying your attitude makes it so that other people who haven't read the book are less likely to read it when they read your words. You are actively making your viewpoint less popular. You are not obliged to correct or change your attitude. Keep it if you want.

You are also not an educated or unbiased source. There are posts under this topic that lend genuine controversy around the authors of DoE. Your complete and utter failure to acknowledge alternative viewpoints and dismissing questions as uneducated leaves a bad taste in everyones mouth. Especially for some other reader on HN who might've read this book otherwise.
Sounds like as far as the mRNA vaccine, he was skeptical of the need to vaccinate young children given the extremely low COVID mortality rate in kids and concerns about myocarditis. Doesn't sound all that crazy.

It's kind of expected some people will be skeptical about such an unprecedented situation (mass lockdowns, school shutdowns, quick vaccine rollout, mRNA being a relatively new technology at scale etc). Honestly it's a good thing to have scientists who are willing to be skeptics within reason, scientists make mistakes all the time and it's good to have other scientists checking them.

Also important to remember some of what was considered 'crazy' and 'misinformation' and got people banned is now accepted as fact (like vaccines don't stop the spread, myocarditis risk etc)

https://www.salon.com/2022/12/16/why-elon-musk-and-right-win...

> Bhattacharya is expressing tacit agreement with the panel's premise that "the Biden Administration and pharmaceutical corporations continue to push widespread distribution of mRNA vaccines on the public, including children as young as 6 months old, through relentless propaganda while ignoring real-life adverse events." Bhattacharya is also agreeing to work with individuals like Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo, who has spread misinformation about mRNA vaccines. Additionally, in May he argued the data on whether COVID-19 vaccines save lives is "surprisingly nuanced" and that it led him to believe "public health authorities should have recommended the cheaper adenovector vaccines over the mRNA vaccines all along for most patients."
I work in the podcast industry. Anchor made it easy and free for people to start podcasting, so tons of people tried it during lockdowns. But podcasts are a lot of work beyond just having a place to host: from recording, finding guests, editing, marketing, etc. So you have a lot of beginners who drop off.
why would you ignore rent income
Yep, I started the audio book back in August and just finished it earlier this week... 5 months may be a long time but it's probably shorter than the reign of most chieftains.

Honestly I really disliked the audiobook. The reader was dreadfully drab, even with his impeccable English. Also the book ended up costing me $60 ($15 / mo Audible subscription), even I technically got to listen for free. Most expensive history lesson I've ever paid for.
Why should they find another way to make money? Think about it from the shareholder's perspective: As an investor, I chose to put my money into an ad distribution company. I know this business has a finite end, and I'm okay with that. I'm gambling that I'll get more money between now and when they close up to give me a good enough return.

If I want to invest in an X or Y, then I will do that. In fact I am well diversified into hundreds of other companies anyway. But I don't want my ad distribution investment clouded or diluted with cars, AI, balloons, or anything else.

Let a business be good at one thing (possibly closely adjacent things), and live as long as that's a valuable contribution to society, then close the doors.

It's the execs that want to diversify into other areas, because this is what keeps them in the game longer. If the business they are currently running winds down, that may not be good for them.
> I think of it the way I think of torture, in the stereotypical scenario where a nuclear bomb has been hidden somewhere in the city and you're 99.9% sure the suspect you've got locked in your basement knows where it is. Go ahead and torture him if you feel like that's the utilitarian optimum

Utilitarianism (of which there are many variations) is not the only moral philosophy that could support torture in such a situation.

Here is a thought experiment. You have strong evidence for the following: 1. A bomb has been planted; 2. Ten people know the location; 3. The bomb is only large enough to kill one or two people. (Perhaps it is hidden under one chair in a school.) Next, you detain the ten people. What do you do? Under what moral reasoning is coercion the least-worst option?

Torture (which I'll define as inflicting severe pain in the hopes of acquiring useful information) is one kind of coercion. (Unfortunately, torture is not necessarily the worst form.)

There are many moral philosophies that would hold the following: people who have knowledge of upcoming violence but do not offer it freely forfeit some of their usual rights with respect to coercion.

Personally, I have not found much detailed discussion of how uncertainty weighs in to these ethical considerations. What I have seen is rather hand-wavy.
Could you use it as a bootstrap to build the Rust compiler on the target architecture and get the 14% back?
Of course 'not making sense' is a bit subjective.

The primary reason is that it's roughly 2.5x the cost. And given that social security is allready the largest expenditure and it's going to be unaffordable in it's current state, I am skeptical.

If that alone is not convincing, consider that most social security recipients receive more than the proposed UBI. And as social security was income tested, you would effectively be transferring social security payments (which are ostensibly a promise/mandatory savings plan) from retirees who paid their dues, to everyone else.

And consider that many benefits are that are covered now would not be available in UBI.

What about people who need intensive nursing? That cannot be covered with their UBI.

I actually like the general idea of replacing a patchwork of county/state/fed programs. I also like the idea of eliminating the welfare cliff.

I just think the amounts being considered are so huge that it's just infeasible.

Of course, you can propose a plan for how this will be paid for.

I think it's actually significantly worse than just a scam. It's a way for oil companies to create a value added product that can be sold by moving the carbon emissions out of one country and into another. They can then sell the hydrogen as "green" by washing the hydrogen with other sources even though it came from oil.
> why not just use the electricity directly and not pay the 40-50% penalty of electrolysis?

The more you need to care about the weight of energy storage the more hydrogen is useful. For land vehicles hydrogen is basically completely pointless and for stationary storage it's truly pointless. Hydrogen makes some sense for aircraft but not for anything on land.
I don't have a 'successful' experience - but hoping my experience can resonate with some and I can get some hints on how to achieve 'success'.

I have tried more than a few times and different kinds (if we can say it that) - helping with hiring, training for interviews as well as being a dev (technical architecture, design and implementation). Nothing stuck. I ultimately had to take up a full-time gig to pay the bills - but I still don't want to give up on this dream of mine - being my own boss (sort of - since I know customer is always the boss!).

I would like to know how you got your start and how you got your first customer, then the next and so on. I am not necessarily looking to build a tech empire, hire dozens of others, but rather eek out a decent living by doing what I do best - design and build large-scale systems.
Google+ was not popular though, the whole point of forcing everyone to have G+ was to get MAU explosion to rival FB. Without it, they would not compete in enough time.

It was a poor decision, and I agree as a consumer that this time period sucked. But I understand why the push was made. G+ only bet was to get everyone to use at once and right away. I don't agree with the assessment of someone losing their mind in this ordeal, it was the only option they had to otherwise be second bitch at best for perpetuity.
I'd think you could evaluate a system like that with the TREC methodology.

I've seen plenty of blog posts where somebody did something poorly motivated with an embedding and had a search engine that worked but didn't do any real evaluation so you don't know if it is better or worse than a simple search engine that uses, say, Okapi BM25.
This is one the examples where the exception proves the rule. After introducing my friends and family to a CLI-based booking tool I wrote for them, they have swore off website UI's since. Every other week I get an excited e-mail stating how great the tool is, and how they have also convinced their own friends to give up JavaScript and turn towards Rust.
It really appears that this CVE was issued based on that super vague twitter thread.

I don't know if the specs are public, but from what people have seen, it seems to perform mostly as advertised. Frito Lay is using them in earnest and happy with the results so far: https://insideevs.com/news/632312/tesla-semi-megacharger-at-...

I read it as Time Train as well until I read your comment! Time Retain is a poorer name, in my opinion.
Firstly, thank you for engaging in a discussion. Secondly, I am not an expert in image processing, rather my focus in on language. Thus my intuitions will not work as much in my favour in this domain, although the models do have similarities.

They explore a range of sizes and I do not think it is fair to to only highlight the smallest ones. They do explore a 12M subset of LAION in Section 7 for a model that was trained on 2B images. Yes, it is not an ideal experimental setup to use a subset (they admit this) and far from LAION-5B, but it is a fair stab at this kind of analysis and is likely to lead to further explorations.

Let us return though to your claim, which is what I objected to: “Pretty much none of these systems ‘reconstruct an image in detail’.” I think it is fair to say that this work certainly makes me doubt whether none of these systems (even the larger ones) exhibit behaviour that may limit their generalisability or cross the boundary of what is legally considered derivative work.

You may very well be right that once we scale to billions of images this behaviour is improved (or maybe even disappears), but to the best of my knowledge we do not know if this is the case and we do not know when, how, and why it occurs if it does occur. I remain a firm believer that these kinds of models are the future as there is little evidence that we have reached their limits, but I will continue to caution anyone that talks in absolutes until there is solid evidence to support those claims.
And also most joy.
I'm using a throwaway due to the medical nature of this topic.

Covid was the beginning of the horrors of the west's increasingly "inverted demographic pyramid" (i.e. too many olds). I worked my entire life to qualify to immigrate to a stable country and start a family. My wife fell pregnant during the pandemic shutdown and needed simple outpatient surgery to save the baby but it was considered "non-essential" and she was forced to pass the corpse on the toilet at home, with no friends or family allowed to visit and offer comfort. Thanks to complications from that experience, she is now barren. Everything we've worked towards since we were 15 gone.

Being a coder, I know a number of professional women whose last chance at a baby was an IVF window that closed during the lockdowns. I don't think they will ever mentally recover.

For reference, the average age of someone dying even "with" much less of Covid in my country is higher than the average life expectancy.

Covid is just the opening volley of the boomers finishing raiding the future to extend and improve their remaining years. I fully expect forced blood and organ donations in the next decade.
Sorry you and all about the misunderstanding, I’d gladly fix it but I guess it is late? I couldn’t get the real title to fit within the space limit, and improvised from the abstract.
I’m not the only one! In addition to the base game I also have the tracks for the expansions as well. My programming playlist also has Sim City 4 and Streets of Sim City on it too.

I also like to listen to SimCopter’s soundtrack on YouTube from time to time. While I like listening to high fidelity audio in my main playlist, hearing the intense compression artifacts and the in-game advertisements makes me feel so nostalgic.
Perhaps we should just let people who want to build a house for their family go and do so. Have you ever attempted such a thing? In the past, it was easy. You bought wood and some nails and started. Today, it involves more trips to city hall than the hardware store, unfortunately.
Banks also waste energy deterring people from robbing them. Internet or not, we'll have to stomach a good amount of bad stuff in order to get to the good stuff.
I worked in the F2P industry a decade ago and have many anecdotes. Oil sheiks with a direct line to the development team. Wire transfer support for big spenders to get around throughout restrictions on normal payment processing. Spend anomalies in graphs with 7 figure y-axes because some lawyer discovered the game while stuck home with the flu. A lot of customer support energy was put into white glove service for these players because of how important they were to the revenue graph.

Kongregate used to share data pretty liberally and had a wide view of the industry in their day. They were playing with less zeroes than the big names but the trends were the same. https://blog.kongregate.com/dont-call-them-whales-f2p-spende...

I'm out of the game for a while now but keep in touch with former colleagues and they've gotten much better rounding out the spender curve. But the folks at the tail still got that wristwatch money. If you don't have a spend stream for them you're leaving a huge piece of your revenue on the table.
Jay just retweeted something a few hours ago that says:

"Fauci and @CDCDirector et al have actively participated in the greatest public health catastrophe in the last hundred years—and maybe ever."

I can assure you the argument that the person is making is neither measured, reasonable, nor accurate. I think you are giving him more credit than he deserves in terms of his nuanced arguments.

The entire movie, in my estimation, is understanding the feelings of paranoia post-9/11. The point was that while ideally, we would like to be like Lucious and have principles, the fear of terrorism justified mass-surveillance. (Honestly, it’s amazing the movie was released pre-Snowden)
