Without a sophisticated understanding of the house system, no skeptic could possibly understand.

There are over a dozen house systems. I prefer Placidus myself, but it seems like a meaningless statement.

https://www.horoscope.com/us/editorial/faqs/editorial-faq-ho....

I studied astrology in earnest in my teens and twenties and considered becoming an astrologer. I was a homemaker who wanted a divorce. It's a field with no governing body telling you who is a "qualified" astrologer and who isn't.

As far as I can tell: You don't get a college degree in it. There's no equivalent of a bar exam.

At least such seemed true last time I cared to look.

I was casting charts for friends and such. I also had done a lot of therapy.

One day, I realized my advice had gotten better because of all the therapy I had done, not because of astrology.

I knew the day I met her man the first time that he was not right. Casting a chart and telling her "It's a bad relationship." amounted to giving her my longstanding opinion of her relationship and using astrology as an excuse to do so, thus my opinion expressed elsewhere in comments here that astrologers were likely learned men giving good advice because they were educated and saying "the stars say so" to cover their butts.

I like astrology. I don't think it's useless.

I like it because it provides me a menu to choose from to sort my problems that I have as yet not found in any other school of thought.

"Ah, it's a Saturn influence. Saturn rules poverty and limitations. It also rules time and effort and hard work. I can accept my poverty and limitations or I can put in the time, effort and hard work to overcome them."

I like astrology, but at some point I made the conscious decision that if I was going to be paid for my professional advice, I would get a degree and call it "my professional opinion, based on thus and such" and not claim "the stars say so" as my way of washing my hands of personal responsibility for sometimes being wrong.

HN is probably the worst place possible to mock skeptics of astrology. Historically, admitting to belief in it was a good way to cut your throat.

I have no idea why this piece is on the front page. But maybe we can try to discuss the topic without skeptics suggesting people who believe in it are merely idiots and vice versa.

>To think deeply about meta science in any official capacity as part of PhD training requires you to go out of your way.

Yup. Not just life sciences, this applies to physics as well.

>I also imagine that even in less expensive/slow fields there is an increasingly unapproachable body of prior knowledge to learn, and people don't want to be trainees forever.

This is where AI might come in handy, for compressing the time it takes to ingest the prior work by providing tailored educational material, or even obviating the need for it by augmenting our intelligence (esp. when it comes to recall/search). Otherwise, we'll eventually be in the situation of Schlemiel the painter [0].

Shopping for the optimal product is nearly impossible today with fake reviews, swapped product listings, silent part swaps without model changes, shrink-wrapped EULA-like devil bargins (can't use the dishwasher without installing an app requiring your contact list), etc. Not to mention the number of times a company is actively deceiving users with misleading language (eg I no longer know what TDP means).

I find this is why I am increasingly outsourcing my purchasing decisions to Costco. It may not be the best option, but I typically only have to pick from ~3 models, and it was good enough for them to stock it on the shelves. More skin in the game than just a digital listing.
I too am happy with my Brother
net neutrality was sold to the public as anti-censorship, when really it had nothing to do with free speech. the author of the post seems to have a more developed understanding that it's really about increasing bargaining power of media companies (specifically big bandwidth users like streaming video) and decreasing the bargaining power of telecoms, but most do not understand this.

the difference is that now most of those activists are pro-censorship, as long as the censorship is what they like, and those same big media companies are able to enact that type of censorship. as far as I can tell, that's really it. most people never really understood net neutrality.
No, imagine zero competition. Not a single other possibility of internet in a building, except for one company, tens of thousands of customers, many, many, many towns.

Independence Is Overrated
It parses natural text into a format representing logic, that is the biggest thing to get.

Then once you have such a parser you can now make a logical Markov chain, it predicts the continuation of your text based on continuations of things that looks similar in the logic space rather than the text space, and that is what you get back from the model.

So ChatGPT does what we could have easily done if we had if natural language was more logical. Then we could make a simple model based on all the logic encoded in all writing of humanity that just looks up human done logic similar to what you asked for and then return an average of those logics. Now since you want human language output it now has to translate that back to human text from logic space, and it could be done in English, Spanish, it could speak like a pirate etc.

And I agree with you. There are factors beyond religion for conflicts existing. No one is denying that. It is just not so in this case.

Do you think they really believe those things or are those just the things they say to convince themselves and each other that what they are doing is fine while deep down they know that it's wrong and that they're acting out of greed and are making the world worse.

> Advocating for consumer welfare or improving the industry reputation falls completely flat. They don’t believe it’s what the market wants. Or they just bluster, or look annoyed and make sure that person’s manager fixes the meeting invites.

Everybody wants to think of themselves as a good guy which means sometimes they have to come up with insane and unconvincing excuses to justify their evils. They are bound to feel uncomfortable when someone tells them the truth by advocating for the customer. They can still take the money by screwing over other people, but it means they can't do it while pretending that it doesn't make them assholes.
I hate sweeteners too. They all seem to have an almost but not quite menthol aftertaste, and some also have an unpleasant slimy or oily mouthfeel.
I miss old-school IM platforms. I could just see a family member online and say "Here's (link), do we want to go to this activity on the weekend", or "Here's the photo of the cat you wanted."

I suppose I could host a local IRC server on a RasPi or something, but that's way more convoluted.
Right, it depends on which two places you're moving between. Your device probably won't work well in North America, for instance, or in Japan. (In NA, it might be workable if the device doesn't care about line frequency since it's 60Hz there. In Japan, it'll work if 200V is close enough, but that's a significant difference from 230V. And the line frequency is only the same if you're in Tokyo or east of it.)
And for those who want to track...

"ChatGPT doesn’t know facts" that's not a helpful statement. A better way to express it would be it doesn't understand its facts or it doesn't grok its knowledge. or maybe the statement is true until it's trained with wikidata on which relationships are Factual.
> especially if you're willing to work for just slightly less

Well, in that entire list, following are the companies who don't make the world shittier: LinkedIn / Stripe / Databricks / Box / Cruise. (I will omit Waymo because its parent is Alphabet, which fails shittiness criteria).

Box stock is flat since 2015. Databricks / Stripe are private so no liquidity. So only LinkedIn qualifies for "slightly less pay but not shittier world". Though I agree that there is an option if someone wants.
And apparently that results in people having 1.8 children instead of 5.6.

React definitely continues to innovate.

Functional components and hooks were a huge innovation to class components and significantly improved the ergonomics of the library. That was only a few years ago.

The team is actively working on RSC (react server components) which will have a similarly large impact on react's capabilities.

Frameworks like remix and next will be able to leverage and build on this to create even better systems for building apps.

The whole signals blow up event is weird to me. Seems to be a loud and extremely small minority making a fuss around it.

IMO React continues to dominate over others (Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid etc) because its just better - it embraces JS (no v-for, ng-for, non JS language) and strictly sticks to the idea that the view is a function of state.
I hope it's straight line development on HEAD without branches. Continually rebasing what will eventually land now is cheaper than figuring out mega merges later.
> Hmm, sounds like forbidding pensions would fix that (make older people rely on their kids).

Then instead of having kids people will work on saving money for the old age.

Predictions are falsifiable, which is why prediction-making astrology is easy to show as bullshit.

Your "real" astrology sound like it is vague enough to be non-falsifiable. But it is still bullshit, since celestial bodies does not affect the "fields of possibility" unless you are an astronaut.

Tons of users with tons of different integrations means tons of issue. That is true I suppose.

I have a very simple Homeassistant setup with a few different zigbee lights and sensors. It has it's issues but 98% of the time it works just fine. The 2% that are frustrating are issues with zigbee connectivity but homeassistant works pretty well. I'm still not a fan of the yaml configuration but that is being worked on.

The Curse of YouTube
FWiW and simply as an additional point of interest;

the 1992 second edition of Energy Efficient Australian Housing has an entire chapter entitled Passive design strategies with a section on the use of passive solar energy.

In a sense the entire book is about passive design, optimal placement coupled with sensible insulation to create optimal (and ideally passive (no additional energy inputs)) heat sinks, sources, and flows .. sometimes to heat and sometimes to create a draw and cool as a side effect.

Historically much of this goes back thousands of years to designs that draw in water from a height and use heat towers to create flows through water sprayed gardens, etc.
Show one Sanskrit manuscript older than 1446. Not a single Stone inscription, Copper plate, Terracotta inscription of classical sanskrit has ever been found nor any Hindu site. Show a single evidence? The evidence of sanskrit found are of Buddhist Sanskrit at Buddhist schools like Nalanda here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda#/media/File:Nalanda_cl...

Not a single archeological evidence of Hindu (Brahman) dharm exist, if you have any evidence older that 1446 you have to furnish the proof.

Brahmins were writing Allahupanishad at the time of mughals praising Allah to be the supreme god and greater than Vishnu.

During the British Rule They wrote Bhavishya Puran and praising queen victoria to be the great ruler and even mentioned Macaulay. All those sanskrit books of Hindus religion were written much later infact they couldnt be written before teh invention of Devanagari script. And devanagari script itself was invented between 11th and 13th century.

Also your link doesnt work.
Your message is wrong on so many levels I don't really know how to start.

First, average life expectancy is absolutely not an interesting measure. You should at least look at the average age up to which people are alive and in good health. And this is much lower. Also, life expectancy is very different depending on your social class. Construction workers die much younger than software engineers. And this is even more true regarding life expectancy in good health. By increasing the age at which one can retire, what you actually do is to make the poorer contribute to retirement money they won't be able to benefit of because they'll be dead before or soon after while the rich will enjoy their retirement since they live longer in good health.

Concerning the whole there is more old people thing: yes, there is, but at the same time workers have never been as productive as they're now. And France as never been as rich as it is now. There is no technical problem here, just a political choice. The Cor (Conseil d'orientation des retraites, which is the official institution that studies retirement in France with projections into the future etc) says our retirement system is currently stable with no real risk to its equilibrium (actually there is one scenario over four in which it may temporarily have a deficit in a few years but that resorbs itself over a few years as well — and you have to know that a few years back they made projections and were quite pessimistic for the situation today, but the reality is that nowadays our retirement system is afloat and well, with multiple billions in positive this year for example). Also, there are solutions if we need more contribution to retirement fund: one of which is to increase wages, another one of which is to pay women the same as men (in France the gap is still between 15% and 20%), another one is to tax the richest more, or simply to politically accept to keep the portion of GDP we spend on the elderly the same rather than wanting to keep the absolute amount the same or lower (which is what Macron wants).

Finally, retirement pension is not "giving people money for free". Retired people are not "just consumers", they contribute a lot to society, even if from a capitalist point of view it is not directly visible: more than a third of the volunteering in (quite sadly, indispensable) non-profit is done by young retirees who can still do it, almost half of baby-sitting is done by grand-parents who can do it because they're retired, etc.

What kills the livelyhoods of younger generation is small wages, no political control over rent prices, a partly artificial inflation which main effect is to make everyone pay more at the supermarket to enrich shareholders who bet on the inflation even more, and soon, if this law passes, it will be the burden of having to take care of their parents who could not work til the increased retirement minimum age for health reasons and will therefore have way too small pensions to be independent.

If you have a modern HP printer that currently works fine, and you want to delay buying a different brand, you might want to:

1. be using open source drivers (e.g., one of the CUPS PCL drivers, preferably on Linux or BSD) on all possible clients;

2. isolate the printer from direct network access (e.g., don't connect printer's Ethernet or WiFi, and instead run CUPS on a RasPi, which talks to the printer only via USB); and

3. consider limiting which devices can access your print server (i.e., via routing VLANs and/or authentication/authorization).

This isn't perfect:

* there are still ways that the printer can get firmware changes against your wishes;

* still ways that it can leak information to HP;

* still ways it's vulnerable to attacks by others; and

* might be awkward to explain when a visitor to your home/office needs to print something.

But I decided the headache of isolating the HP printer a bit (especially from HP), was less than the likely headache of trusting HP more.

(Which is kinda sad, since the company previously known as HP was great.)

React continues to dominate others because it meets baseline criteria for a js framework. And has corporate backing while Vue doesn't. Angular 1 was also popular because it was average js framework with google's backing before angular 2.

Implying that React remains popular for purely it's technical merit is utter nonsense. Because if react was really technically better, then no one would have migrated to Vue, solid and svelte or angular for that matter

Rust has a low bar for creating CVEs, because the standards for safety are higher.

From the link you’re sharing

> Fortunately, they are context-sensitive library APIs that are not usually used in a way that the bugs can be triggered. Many of them require very specific interaction to trigger (e.g., partially consume an iterator and zip() it with another iterator) that is not likely to appear in their daily usage.

Here’s a concrete example that shows the difference between how different languages approach CVEs. Rust is not the only language affected by this TOCTOU bug (https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/01/20/cve-2022-21658.html) but other languages finesse it by saying “all bets are off when you’re interacting with the filesystem”. Therefore no CVE for them, while Rust ends up looking insecure in the eyes of those who count CVEs.

What I’m saying is - don’t count CVEs without looking at the context and content of those CVEs. Don’t assume that some software is secure simply because they don’t file CVEs, because that’s an ostrich approach.
Can you please make your substantive points thoughtfully rather than in the flamewar style? We're trying for the former here, not the latter.
