First, you're right about Berkeley's motivation. Specifically he was rebutting Edmund Halley. But his criticism was correct. And he was also correct that through compounding errors mathematicians arrived at truth, if not science. Furthermore he demonstrated that he had a better grasp of calculus than most who criticized him at the time.

You're also right that what he said could not help math to develop. But that is not due to any shortcoming on his part. Until mathematicians realized that there was a crisis, nothing could have made them pay attention. And once a crisis was realized, what would help them find a path forward depended on the details of said crisis.

Now you pointed to Rolle. Yes, Rolle criticized infinitesmal calculus. But he did so before it was well understood, and all of his criticisms were rebutted. In fact Rolle wound up convinced about calculus, and is known for an important theorem. (That said, his original version was considerably less general than the current one is.)

He was not alone. Lagrange also criticized calculus. His alternative was to found everything on formal power series. But his replacement didn't hold up. In fact Fourier's examples were more of a problem for Lagrange's approach than infinitesmals! So from Lagrange's criticism we got the f'(x) notation, but nothing that could help later.

Lagrange's failure to be able to address the future crisis, even though he recognized the problems that lead to it, demonstrates that Bishop Berkeley never had a hope. Lagrange was one of the top mathematicians of the 1700s. If he could not anticipate what would be needed, how could a bishop be expected to do better?

Plants aren't doing that job all that effectively, or the CO2 levels wouldn't be going up.

The entire history of industrial civilization has added 140 parts per million of CO2 to the atmosphere. For CO2, that's too much. But Oxygen is 21% of the atmosphere, or 210,000 parts per million. I think we'll be ok for a while.
Yeah the hardware is fantastic but ARM->x86, Windows->Mac (or virtualization), and OpenGL/DirectX/Vulkan -> Metal is just too many translation layers to give a quality or reliable experience unless you cherry pick titles. Not to mention you run into a lot of DRMs that don't work because they assume a x86 Windows kernel to interact with.

Of course if you're alternative is to remain on your current Mac then you could just as well upgrade to the new one anyways and leave the old one dedicated towards Windows based gaming.

Yup! https://library.stanford.edu

I was once interested in reading "The best of 2600 : a hacker odyssey" by Goldstein (https://www.worldcat.org/title/191809593). Although Worldcat says that Stanford has a copy, that's not correct. But I had no problem using Interlibrary Loan to get a copy for a few weeks.
> "and his recent factually incorrect takes on the Syria gas attacks and Skripal poisoning"

I don't know of anything incorrect in Hersh's take on (one of) the Syria gas attacks:

and I haven't read what he wrote on the Skripal affair.
It’s curious then that google still acquires companies. Surely someone has seen the writing on the wall and would decide to stop throwing good money after bad.
Yes, it is absolutely ridiculous that slave patrols existed and formed the basis for later police departments in the south. It is also ridiculous that labor-busting squads existed in the north, which formed the basis for later police departments in the north.

The history is there, it is what it is, as ridiculous as that is. You might argue that modern police have far outgrown their origins, and then it would be up to readers to decide which whether your claim is also ridiculous, given how many police departments generally exhibit qualities consonant with their origins.
As is often the case, I found the first sentence more compelling than the article's title: "RGB, not unlike ASCII, memory addresses, and having 86,400 seconds in day, is one of those things that makes programming a little simpler for a bit, until it doesn’t anymore."
>The lesson I took away is that I shouldn't work for bureaucratic organizations like NASA.

PR or Reputation management can force a culture onto people which might be a bit toxic behind the scenes and some people just do not like their authority challenged, so stepping outside of the box even the mere suggestion can be a deadly experience.
Living in a city where laundromats (even moderately large professional ones) are nowhere near residential areas is, to say it briefly, stupid.

You want them right near your home so you can drop by any time. Nobody wants to go 45 minutes out of their way just to drop off some clothes.
Musk wants to paint himself as the savior of free speech and pet of that is by casting Twitter 1.0 as some sort of nefarious agents of the government who were trying to control all communication. The Twitter files are trying to reach the same narrative conclusion.

I’ve also read the Twitter files and the stated summaries on the tweets routinely didn’t match the linked evidence, or stretched it to the weakest but still technically possible conclusion.

> Your pre-filtered database (conspiracy) theory doesn't really seem like the simplest explanation.

While calling this out as a conspiracy is kinda laughable given the content of the Twitter files, I want to make it more clear that I was appalled by the journalists being certain that the data couldn’t have been manipulated and then giving examples of how it would be impossible that were actually relatively trivial to implement. They also claimed they had access to “all” the data when that was patently not true. They had access to a gate kept version of the data which they could not verify, and I think that’s an important point given that one of the major critiques they have about Twitter 1.0 and the government is a lack of transparency. I also found this suspect when Musk and the journalists involved like Taibbi claimed they were going to show “everything” and instead of a database dump they keep linking excerpts of documents. Maybe they’ve finally done a database dump but after the first 5 or 6 Twitter threads where it was all cherry-picked I stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt

Water reservoirs are naturally renewed. You’re still rate limited, as most irrigation zones around the world have found out.
Just an assumption here, I haven't really done my research.

The main goal of most money-making websites is not about the features or products they offer, but mostly as a vessel to funnel money to the founders and sprinkle some of it to the help involved.

As long as most users don't report such an issue, and especially if it doesn't negatively impact the bottom line, the chances of a fix are even less.

So, none of this surprises me in the least.
This is a lesson about mental models.

From the brew devs' point of view it doesn't make sense because they are different commands.

From the end user's point of view it makes perfect sense because brew is just a tool to install shit with and they do not wish to expend any brain cycles on it. That includes remembering whether this particular tool calls it update or upgrade.

You know the second point of view is right because if you type one without arguments, it asks you whether you meant to type the other one.

But they're too autistic to realize what that means and actually fix the interface.

brew update - update brew
brew update thing - update thing

Done.

Similarly, as someone who only rarely uses it, a huge frustration is that when I do, it invariably wants to update 100+ packages. I never asked for it to do that and I was happy with whatever was installed right before it decided to do that and block my system for 20 minutes.

Again, brew devs do not understand their audience.
I have a friend who is an Army officer. It's interesting to talk to him about his work. He's weapons trained and all that, but his job basically boils down to being a mid-level manager managing a team of logistics people. Basically your average boring office job.

You can still do that. Nothing has changed. It's probably gotten even easier. Have fun implementing a complex UI without some sort of component Framework though.

They did exist - I've seen a scrapped one, and I know someone who has the technical manuals for the equipment inside.

They almost certainly did not work as intended, particularly if you had more than one TV in a 100-metre radius of the van.
Okay, they didn't invent racist policies that persist to this day, they just furthered their racist goals by using existing policies that persist to this day. Better?
All very true, by far the biggest factor is the first bullet. Autopilot is enabled exactly when the driver thinks it is very safe and easy driving. If we are comparing miles without an accident it shouldn't be compared to all miles, it's much more like all miles with cruise control activated, data which Tesla doesn't have and probably can't get, but I don't think they'd want to trumpet it either.

It should be blindingly obvious that FSD is not safer than a human right now from using it or watching it be used. It's weird that people are trying to point to some very misleading statistics when you can go to YouTube and see serious problems in almost every video about FSD, even those by owners clearly wanting to paint it as great. Of course getting data-based answers is great but when you see problems every couple miles and the data is saying is saying it's way safer than a human, you are doing something wrong with or using irrelevant data.
Well, that's why you shouldn't ever have any data that they could want or ask for. Never save IP addresses.

I like Microsoft is a better value as you also get desktop versions of word and excel that are better than the browser based versions. This is particular helpful with outlook.
Does it have to be? Climate change is getting pretty urgent. Maybe we should fix that first, and then worry about the ideal solution for the next ten thousand years.

However, from the article:

> natural hydrogen may be not only clean, but also renewable. It takes millions of years for buried and compressed organic deposits to turn into oil and gas. By contrast, natural hydrogen is always being made afresh, when underground water reacts with iron minerals at elevated temperatures and pressures. In the decade since boreholes began to tap hydrogen in Mali, flows have not diminished

> in school we’re taught that only vowels get a before them

That's the opposite of how it works (as you demonstrated in your own comment, "not a rule...")

The comment you responded to was correct, or at least very reasonable, and I'm really not sure which part you disagree with.
I'm always thrown when people write "an SQL parser". I'll bet roughly half this crowd is the opposite and cringe when they read "a SQL parser".
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?
I didn't say it was a magic bullet. So you are hallucinating thoughts about me, not responding to what I said. Being critical of the data like you are being is good thinking in my opinion. I just don't like how often people don't have beliefs that are anywhere close to the data.

For example, elsewhere in this comment thread, someone threw out a random statistic of 400:1 as part of their argument, but this seems to me to be something like six orders of magnitude diverged from a data informed estimate.

To try and contextualize how big an error that is - it is like thinking that a house in the Bay Area has the same cost as a soft drink.

I think if we have to cite our data we are less likely to do that sort of error and more likely to catch it when it is done.

I definitely don't think FSD is magically safe. So if you think that is what I'm trying to say, please update your beliefs according to my correction that I do not believe this. I think anyone driving in FSD should remain vigilant, because it can make worse decisions than a human would.

While it would still be an upgrade over fossils, I think that would be a slap in the face for renewables. We need sustainable energy production, not more digging for stuff that is limited by design.
You should get rid of sugar and everything processed food inside your house. Exercise more. Ask your partner if she still finds you attractive / if your stamina is still good.

If you don't have a partner, gaslight yourself about it being caused by your repulsive physiognomy and physique. Delete the words acceptance, contentment, and body positivity in your dictionary.

Go to the gym more. Be the man your God wanted you to be. I'm not talking about your religion's sky daddy. I mean greek gods and roman gods. Be a living breathing version of your physically fit greek and roman gods.

Obviously kidding on some parts, but point being is eating less wont get you there.. get rid of the lowest hanging fruits of temptation and spend real time building muscles!
Norms against flame wars and the old "don't feed the trolls" made for some really excellent experiences growing up on forums as a kid (and instructive experiences when I ignored that advice). It's too bad we weren't able to bring that energy to social media, because wow is the alternative depressing to behold.

Also, given prevailing rents that would likely lose them money over renting it out, though you can certainly regulate your way into that being the best option if you "protect" renters enough.
Hiring manager brought me into their building. Immediately complains about my outfit (jeans and a polo). He smells like he just smoked a pack of cigs. Proceeds to walk me by about 7 SWEs playing pingpong. Their interview process was pretty basic at the time - this was like 4 years ago - and consisted of a couple technical rounds and a behavioral iirc, at least in the Scottsdale office. They still managed to ghost me.
Getting older projects to run was a huge pain for me when I started working with JavaScript, but I have found two easy steps to get around this:

1. Use nvm + an .nvmrc file in your project to pin the major version of Node.js you are using. I recently got a five year old Node 8 project up and running with no issues using this method.

2. Try to avoid packages that has binary dependencies (like node-sass). 99% of binary issues are fixed when using the correct Node version, the only other problem that can occur is if you switch architecture (eg. x86 => ARM).
I think that video is more helpful for you than it is me.

"He argues that fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough)".

Too much sugar is bad for you, too much fat is bad for you. If you eat too many foods that are high in processed sugars, you're going to increase your risk of diabetes. If you eat a balanced diet that includes fruits and other complex carbs with fibre to reduce the GI of the food, you're going to be fine.

All of this needs to be combined with some exercise.

This isn't ground breaking science, this is a Youtube video for people who have a poor diet.

Of course smart people react emotionally too, but when the stakes are high, a smart person would be likelier to be more calculating.

Define high-IQ.

Not everybody here is a genius, but I'd bet most people here are very comfortably above the average IQ for their population group. Dumb people will never spend their time online reading and discussing computer science and related topics.
There's so much evidence from research on unhoused populations and housing-first programs in the US and around the world, but you've got "why wouldn't they" on your side, so all of that evidence should probably be ignored.
> my best guess is that it's for when you're driving on a lot of hills

It’s for when you have people or stuff in the back, so the car squats a little. I think it’s mandatory over here in Europe, at least I’ve never seen a car without it.

Auto leveling is also mandatory for headlights above a certain limit, at least in my country (not sure about LEDs, but e.g. my car has xenon headlights that are weaker on purpose, because if they were any brighter, they’d have to be able to auto-level and have a cleaning system).
Yes, but a) we need a lot of hydrogen for chemical processes such as fertiliser making, and b) particularly in northern latitudes, there’s a mismatch between peak solar production and peak energy demand. If there was abundant cheap clean hydrogen available, it could be used to fill that gap and reduce the amount of overbuild and transmission lines you’d need.

No, of course not randomly. If you RTA, it should be clear that some prompts are more likely to be followed by an “an” than others.
Isn't that what the "subscriptions" is? It depends on the algorithm,

Besides I generally do get new videos from subscriptions on my front page. And in my "suggestions" for unrelated videos, and in my search for unrelated content, and sometimes even in category tabs for content it is not a category for. I get it, I'll watch it later, I know where to watch it.
Again, anything to add to the actual discussion? Aren't you the one that was complaining about semantics?

Lie of omission is an atypical use and is inconsistent with the definition that I posted earlier. You can cherry pick your definition while ignoring the one I posted and use typical examples that don't correleate to this atypical use that changes the very definition.

If I withhold information from you it may be misleading, but it quite simply is not a lie. Now please stop trolling and actually contribute to the conversation about distrust of the media instead of focusing on the very thing you complained about - semantics.
You can go all the way sue and demand discovery. If granted you’ll get all the email talking about her. But that is expensive and time consuming.
I think what your parent is saying (at least how I read it) is in the context of comparing it to boxed software. I buy MS Word 1995 for $100. Then they release added value and box it up as MS Word 1998 for $100. Then they release added value and box it up as MS Word 2000 for $100.

Now we pay $10/mo. If you average it out, it's not too different than just paying for the added value as it grows.

And worse, if I cancel I don't keep to keep using it without the added value. So I'm painted in a corner. It's objectively worse in that sense.
Even at twice the price, the value of the collective Google Workspaces suite for most people is a no brainer.

I pay more per month to the calendar scheduling SaaS provider I use than I do to Google - who provide the calendar plus email, drive, docs, meet, etc.

An important lesson here for founders is price anchoring. Google is in a tough place because the prices are anchored to historically low amounts - they're increasing them by $1/m because that's about all they can do and the talk of 'all the next value' is their best attempt to break out of that anchor. If they were to bring this suite to the market today, I bet it would start at the $20/m mark.

I agree with others, it's a nice idea. There are similar tools to this one

One of my favourite quotes is by Arnold Schwarzenegger:
>Break the rules, not the law, but break the rules. It is impossible to be a maverick or a true original if you're too well behaved and don't want to break the rules. You have to think outside the box.

If I search for "break the rules not the law", I'm not really able to find a video with Arnold's speech. However, a similar tool (https://filmot.com/) worked for me.
Oh darn. Anyone have any insight as to how much the "Enterprise" levels increasing assuming base cost no negotiated discounts?
I'm always surprised by this when these types of threads come up on HN. A lot of people seem to remember these forums being moderated poorly, or being run by egomaniacs. My experience is the opposite. The internet forums I spent any time on were generally run by passionate people who cared about the community and donated their time to help keep them running smoothly.

I'd take small communities run by passionate people over today's mega-sized social media any day.
Which is what we call "hallucinations" in ChatGPT, it is really good at that. It works really well for creative accounting, similarly creative programming just crashes your app.

And that is the whole reason ChatGPT will replace accounting and such jobs before programming, because those jobs are much more tolerant of inaccurate statements than programming is.
Additionally, topics being sorted by "what post received a comment most recently" meant that high-quality threads stayed near the top for a long time, leading to much better discoverability. When I want to learn a lot about some obscure hobby, a dedicated forum is an extremely good place to go. Read the top 5-10 threads in most of the categories, and you've got a fantastic jumping off point.
