If they want people to relate to their numbers, they have to use units people understand, and also they need to be accurate about which dimension they are talking about.

If it's mass the correct popular science dumb reporting unit is the blue whale. Ie "The mass of this black hole is almost 3 x 10^35 blue whales"

If it's size, the correct popular science dumb reporting unit is the football field unless it's specifically length, in which case it's acceptable to either go with football field or switch to double-decker bus or blue whale.
You may be able to get by with a regular air filtration system. Not sure where you are, but I have a Rabbit Air[0] that is very good at removing smells has multi-layer filtration.

Also, buying good quality filament is important. You want stuff that isn't made in China.

> So, just to be clear, if you are in some random place in the united states, the energy you will use to charge your car's battery is most likely to come from renewable energy like solar, wind, geothermal, and very unlikely to come from oil/gasoline, natural gas, or coal?

Nobody in this chain of comments was concerned with most of this, so it hardly matters (to the discussion at hand) what I answer, or cite, or whatever. That's much of the problem with what you've been posting. All that was originally claimed was that broader EV deployment will tend to reduce petroleum use, so may be viewed as a threat by petroleum industry, which... I mean, yes, that's obvious. I would certainly find evidence to the contrary quite surprising.

> And I should, in fact, feel stupid because this is an extremely apparent/obvious fact to actually smart people?

No—because you keep trying to argue against the proposition you want to argue against, instead of the one that was actually advanced, which is why I've twice tried to redirect you back to the actual topic. The "but much electricity comes from burning fossil fuels!" observation isn't terribly interesting even when it isn't a non-sequitur, but given the topic at hand, which was narrowly about effects of EV deployment on the petroleum industry in particular, it's also being mis-applied.

We could get 100% of our electricity from coal, for instance, and the original claim might still be true. Technically, we could even get 100% of our electricity from petroleum, and it might still be true—though in that case I'd certainly allow that it wouldn't be obviously-true.
I also used to feel like the comment you were replying to. About two years ago I decided to try and lean in heavily towards “modern” CSS and honestly things have gotten so much better the past few years.

I also leaned in heavily to the component model with Web Components which was another huge win for my experience with CSS.

I actively enjoy it now rather than dread it. Catching up wasn’t too difficult and if someone else is in the same boat I would recommend the investment.
Taking the liberty to fix the article's title, as the article itself discusses additional factors beyond pollution: "Alongside these environmental factors, individual problems can also harm male fertility, such as a poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, stress, and alcohol and drug use."
This is a great article.

I recently tried converting Org-mode files to html with sed and hit a block pretty soon -- sed's extended regex doesn't account for newline characters. That led to me abandoning the project, because even though I had it down 90%, I couldn't make code blocks free from being interpreted as regular org syntax. With PCRE it would have been much easier.

I'm not 100% certain, either. Hasn't someone else here written that all of the Korean characters can be expressed in two ways?

Then there is Vietnamese which has a lot of accents and other diacritics. Not sure how much you can do without them.

Perhaps a language like Chinese doesn't have so many ambiguities, as in there is only one way to encode a given character in Unicode?

Polygon Runway has a good intro tutorial. But like you, I'm in a similar boat. Play around with it for a couple hours and can't get back into it even when I really want to. I think it's a matter of building a good habit.
I do recommend Prusa to new 3D printing hobbyists because there are a lot of quality of initial experience features on them.

That acknowledged, my (lightly modded) Ender3s, a Flashforge Creator clone, and an SKTank kit-built printer all also “just work” and, other than capability differences, use the same machine settings in slicer/same gcode thanks to Klipper macros (to the point that I’ll often start a print on them in the basement without ever going down there and checking that the first layer looks okay). I’d say I’m well above 97% for prints work without any fuss.
And IT people can't get the printer to work either?

Even some elements of culturejamming approaches boring uniformity: Adbusters doesn't interest me because they're often a reaction to mass media and rarely present anything different or poetically-viral.

I kind of did the same. The hours may have added up though — I finally started grokking it a bit.

Actually, what finally worked was to have a very specific (small) project in mind. For me it was to figure out how to model a plastic storage bin. I struggled for days on that one — making all the rookie mistakes.

Having now done several follow-on projects in Blender I think I could go back and create that plastic storage bin in less than an hour.

It's going to just take time. But having a small, achievable goal/project in mind will give you the excuse to get there.

It does fit the trend. These issues are stacking. You can fool yourself into dismissing it if you split it into pieces. In 2012 you can write it off as fear mongering the media. In 2018 you can write it off as “how does this affect your day to day life?”. In 2022 you can say that Dobbs “doesn’t fit the trend” since it started in 2012.

I’m not saying this is the whole story, but it’s possibly part.

“Having it all” is a blessing and curse. The choice to do more, the burden to do more. Now you need a career, family, insta following. And it’s quite likely you’re going to have a hard time finding that perfect husband since men 18-30 as a demographic are doing horribly. What would normally be the backbone of a society is just not functioning well right now.

Covid should have slowed down economies, but instead governments pumped the gas. This was the widely recognized disconnect between Wall St and Main St. Now the chickens are coming home to roost, and not in any particularly predictable way because everything has been thoroughly distorted. There should have been a slew of predictable debt defaults in 2020, but after many trillions in helicopter money who knows anymore?

Also the war itself puts a strong damper on international commerce. We had basically been operating in a mostly peaceful world where war was limited to US/China/Russia busting up isolated third world countries. But Russia launching a full state-on-state genocide is a severe departure from that time of relative peace in most of the world.

Now we get to test the hypothesis that nations who trade with one another are disincentivized from going to war, and are about to find out how big that incentive really is.
Nice - but it's been over a year and a half since preorders for the Prusa XL began and it still has not shipped!!!

It is clear now that people who preordered the Prusa XL had availability sacrificed for the MK4. It just sucks if you've been waiting more than 18 months for that, only for the MK4 to get day-one availability before your long-awaited preorder.

> What makes something pretty and cool and interesting is skill, thoughtfulness and some sense of composition, color, and togetherness.

This is key, yet it highlights an important aspect largely missing from these critiques of popular aesthetics: Any style popular enough to become hegemonic will itself contain examples spanning a wide range of quality and taste. There are beautiful expressions of the AirBnB interior, the NHTSA-approved car, even the five-over-one low-rise, just as there is also a sea of mediocre variations on them.

A style alone does not make a designed object or space high-taste or low-taste, good or bad; it is the values of good design and craftsmanship that make it thus.
Italy-sized chunk of Gulf of Mexico to be auctioned by the US for oil drilling
It's written somewhat in jargon but the CPS gives guidance in the section Entrapment on https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/abuse-process.

It's relatively readable, it's probably enough to note that a "stay" means that a trial will not proceed (at all).

A quote from that section:

"Police conduct which brings about state-created crime is unacceptable and improper, and to prosecute in such circumstances would be an affront to the public conscience. However, if the accused already had the intent to commit a crime of the same or a similar kind, and the police did no more than give him the opportunity to fulfil his existing intent, that is unobjectionable."

From reading enough of the crappy sites that repeat the claim you posted and yet never point to anyone (even anonymous) willing to personally report it. The thing with false claims is that there is no disproof because there was no story until it was made up.

You make it sound like toy companies employ losers nobody else would want, and that he was just an employee there, and that Disney only kept him because he came with the building.

He's thinking about what would make the most money in total, movies + toys.

Well, 'good art' is what fans want to buy and lazy pandering is just that.
Well, I'm thinking more broadly than just communications.

Alaska has six times as many pilots per capita as other parts of the US because there are relatively few roads up there.

Some African country addressed one of its issues by created a service for drone delivery of blood for medical emergencies. IIRC, it was both cheaper and more reliable than trying to keep blood on hand in rural areas because blood expires and you need the right blood type.

There was a piece on HN yesterday about the labor and delivery department in a hospital in a town of 9000 people shutting down. Although small, it's a commercial hub for the region because the region is so rural.

I found that the area has a midwife service. Perhaps that's a superior service for that situation. I don't know, but do we really need to medicalize the birthing process in all cases? Seems to me that's not absolutely necessary.

But we seem to generally default to thinking that "big city solutions are best" and when those solutions are a poor fit logistically for some more sparsely populated area or simply financially unsustainable, the default seems to be that service is simply removed entirely rather than replaced with something more suitable.

We also routinely build housing in disaster-prone areas that doesn't withstand the type of disaster in question and then put people in trailers when they inevitably end up homeless. Seems to me we could do better.

While OpenAI is making an aggressive play on being the platform that eats all other platforms and is positioned to be a neutral party directly on the transaction with self service plugins (apps), Microsoft is squandering the opportunity the way they squander every opportunity.

Not realizing the game changed and playing yesterday's game in today's world.

The reason why people prefer these chats over clicking search results and finding the relevant information is that the search results themselves as well as the first page of links forces your brain to filter 99% commercial information that you don't care about. You don't want to subscribe to newsletters. You don't want notifications. You wish the site would just die rather that pollute the search results and push more to-the-point non profit sources further down.

And bringing ads in the game makes it impossible to make the platform play due to conflict of interests. You are either serving the user or the advertiser. Ads is the wrong business model for this, and OpenAI is positioned to be the winner here (against both Google and Bing) in a market larger than search and advertising.

I will definately keep paying for the answers to be in my interest and look forward to spending money directly through ChatGPT, much like I spent money on iOS, Android and Steams's platform today.

Ramadan shows up in Internet trends (2022)
The whole article is basically expanding a Twitter meme which stems entirely from cherry picking.

One of my favourite coffee table books is Designed in the USSR: 1950–1989. Pretty much everything in the book could easily rival or even triumph over Western designers of the same era, but the vast majority of the industrial designs shown never made it beyond the prototype stage. They looked like nightmares for mass production and it was hard to perceive a meaningful demand for them even in a market economy. These were made by Design Bureaus staffed with people whose sole job is to design things. It would be unfair to compare their work with products that have stood through the tests of user demand over time.
Or if you use a library that chose that path and you end up having to debug it.
Yes, that's certainly the effect of linkbait titles, which is why HN's guidelines call for changing them:

"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

If anyone suggests a better title (i.e. accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article), we can change it.
Very interested in learning more about this. Do you know if there are any open source projects I can take a look at?
My 3D printing needs are not seriously complicated, so I've found that OpenSCAD to be the best solution for me. Because I'm a programmer, a workflow focused on programmatically generating geometry is very intuitive. Everything else I've tried is too cluttered and complicated for what I want to do. It's weak when it comes to organic geometry, but most of what I make isn't organic-looking. If I needed to make something more organic, I'd probably make the base model in OpenSCAD first and then bring it into Zbrush.
Indeed. I always thought they deferred the launch of any new model after X1C in order to take the true "just works" crown back (with the hopes of it would be something like Intel/AMD feuds where the monopoly had finally came to an end and customers can finally see some real competition). But apparently it is just a classic Prusa printer with better parts but still a very very high price to usability ratio (compared to Bambu Lab P1P or X1).
And now the convergence is going to be massively accelerated by LLMs and generative art/video and code tools.

Because these work best (actually only work at all) in the middle lane of the masses of text/images/code that they ingest, and from which they generate their output.

They generate the most likely output to result from the given input. This necessarily homogenizes out any surprise or highly valuable information. We get the most average output

(which, to be fair to their creators, is an average of the above-average human inputs, since they are training on the output of skilled humans in each field, and e.g., that grammar of GPT-4 is noticeably better than almost all current journalists, even when it is hallucinating an answer)
It's vastly better nowadays.

Also with `dnf` RPMs are as easy as DEBs. And some of the commands are similar.

I find dnf is even smarter and better at managing dependencies.

I only ever run 2-3 commands. `dnd install` `dnf update` and `dnf remove`. Update handles the repo refresh and actually updating packages. And force refreshing repos you just add `--refresh` to the command. Otherwise it does it every few hours on its own (the refreshing of repos, not installing updates)

Fedora is a breath of fresh air after decades of Ubuntu, and then Manjaro. I wouldnt go back and I have used Ubuntu since 5.04 til 22.04
Generally, the hardest part of startups is the "fuzzy" product capabilities. LLM make it practical to codify much of what has previously been either (1) bruteforce/tedium (2) too labor intensive.

Like all startup waves, we'll see a bunch of them fail. However, I think we're going to see a lot of neat stuff come out of this as well.

This is the best way. Inline duct fan and a flex hose running out of your window (you can print an adapter/connector to fit perfectly). It works very well even if your enclosure is not airtight (and it shouldn't be when printing PLA since you want a constant stream of air getting inside for cooling) - just let negative pressure do its thing.

> Did the fast-changing fashions of the postwar era reflect something about normal trends, or was it a sort of equilibrating phenomenon, and now we've returned to some normal again, that we haven't seen in over 100 years?

I'm living in a city where most of the buildings are 100+ years old. (The house I'm living in was built in 1904.) You can usually date a building from that era by about +/- 2 years of accuracy, just by the looks, regardless, whether it's art nouveau or a more conservative expression of style. However, as you approach WWII, things considerably slowed down. (Mostly for economic reasons.)

I think, this idea of a mostly stable era is a product of the shift in paradigms, you mentioned before, where we put anything that happened before in a paradigmatic box. (E.g., like it has just recently happened with brutalism, where a wide variety and evolution of concepts and oppositions was subsumed into the same thing.)
You can get kinda close to that with OctoPrint running on a RaspberryPi. You'll still have to slice it manually, but you can upload the gcode and start the print from another browser tab.
