Apropos of nothing, back in 2016, I laughed at the idea of spending $500 on a hairdryer. Fast-forward two years and I bought the Airwrap in 2018 (which was even pricier but it also curls and styles) and then got the regular hair dryer too. I’ve also bought the hair dryer for my mom and the Airwrap for my sister.

Anyway, it’s absolutely worth the money for anyone who has long hair (tho my husband likes it too, as does my dad) and I love it. (Just be aware you can’t use the US version internationally or vice versa b/c of voltage stuff)

Not sure how it is as a jet engine but it’s a great hair dryer and also frankly, as a high quality heat gun.
Sure, let's close fossil fuel power generation and let's see what direction we will take. It's not an nuclear OR solar, it's an AND over there.

As it stands, I would leave the markets, since apparently they're sooo effective, choose what power source would fill in the gaps.

> Women have been bombarded for decades with guilt/panic inducing guidelines, .... A whole industry profits from the situation.

First: you suggest a relation between the two, but does that exist?

Second: who are these bombarders? What industry profits?

Third: should we just ignore all correlations? Or just those that relate to reproductive rights for women, because that's a hot topic (in the US)?
It looks promising, thanks!

Probably some vehicle control unit (multimedia/dashboard) thought it had to stay powered on. Door is not fully closed - driver might want to enter the vehicle again any minute and start driving again. better keep the infotainment/vehicle computer in an alive state so the driver experience is not interrupted by a booting system once he re-enters.

A hypothesis is part of science. You have to have an idea to have something to test!
Mostly its controversial simply because the evidence for it is week. You need to perform a complicated analysis of the CMB, to find some statistical artifacts that are consistent with your theory, and not any other theory. This is incredibly difficult, because the CMB is very noisy, we don't have a full understanding of how the universe evolved post big bang, and even with our current understanding, a full simulation is computationally impossible. Penrose's analysis found the signature that shows CCC, however when others attempt to perform the analysis, they do not find it. As such, the accuracy of the only evidence remains controversial.

In addition to the empirical lack of convincing evidence, there is also a theoretical problem. In order for CCC to work, you need to assume that all massive particles decay. The is not inconceivable, but involves things like proton decay, which is speculative at best, and electron decay, for which (as far as I am aware) we do not even have a serious speculative mechanism.
That's a great point. I don't know (obviously). But I tend to think that there is actually a point in space beyond which it does not make sense to ask the question "What is beyond this". Just like when we are at North Pole, the question "Which way is North" does not make sense.

I put relativism is scare quotes because Continental philosophy doesn't espouse relativism, but is often accused of it. It does espouse a cynicism for structuralism and has a penchant for scientific anti-realism, but both those views (when we re-express it in ordinary "analytic" language) are contentious while respectable, but not incredulous, and have sophisticated arguments.

But -- and as a reply to the complaints of its obscurantism -- it's also not obvious that arguments in Continental philosophy can be re-expressed in an atomic way without losing its fundamental essence. If we could, then and only then can we accuse thinkers of being fluffy and imprecise obscurantists. However, many of these philosophies are ones that criticize reductive, logocentric discourse to begin with! In other words, that is a feature, not a bug of the philosophical tradition.

> Thanks.dev presently supports itself through a voluntary tip percentage that, if more than zero, gets deducted from donation amounts along with a Stripe payment processing fee prior to distribution.

I also think they should allow manual addition of projects. E.g. I use Syncthing but that won't be found in my Github/Gitlab scans. I can donate via Github too but would be easier if I can have one place to control all such donations.

There is a reason around 66% of all psychological research cannot be reproduced.

Hi Koito17 Thanks for trying it out! Are you able to ping me your github handle so I can get to the bottom of it (email in profile).

Alternatively, for multi-project repos you can add a thanks.yaml file to the root of the repo with a `maxDepth: 2` value inside it. Unfortunately, deep scanning the entire repo looking for files would be prohibitive due to GH rate limiting hence this approach.

Please keep me posted. I'm also available on Discord if you need anything.
I believe based on that account's other responses in that thread they are highly dismissive of g ("Yes, psychometrics researchers believe in psychometrics.")

> The existence of it means one thing: smart is smart. If you're above average at "mental labor", you're also above average at learning the tools you can leverage to make your labor better faster.

But isn't this highly reductive? The very responses in this thread attempt to explain the improvement in spatial reasoning can be attributed to video games, at least three responses independently advance that hypothesis. If societal responses to the tests change over time, doesn't that mean the tests themselves are not objective across all time periods?

Funnily enough, that comment suggests that someone who grinded thousands of hours of Tetris would have higher spatial reasoning than a novice, and that's the precise category that the study in the OP reports has improved.

> Until mental labor stops being a thing

But the point is, mental labor changes over time. The measure of g measured by arithmetic tests might go down if society deemphasizes arithmetic because of technological changes. What exactly goes into g, and are those measures the only possible ways of quantifying intelligence?

> I can barely tell what point, if any, they're trying to make.

The comment is highly critical of modern psychometrics, because they argue that the tests in those field have not caught up with societal shifts that impact the results on those tests, using "working memory" as an example. Interestingly enough, the Wikipedia article on g you linked above mentions the following:

"One theory holds that g is identical or nearly identical to working memory capacity. Among other evidence for this view, some studies have found factors representing g and working memory to be perfectly correlated. However, in a meta-analysis the correlation was found to be considerably lower."

So sounds like experts disagree on the specifics.

Also, their thesis is fairly straightforward:

>> The more general critique is that "intelligence research" has ossified around Cargo Cult psychometrics. At one point, "orally administered arithmetic word problems" were a fantastic proxy for economically useful mental faculties. That is no longer true. As the set of useful capacities change, so too should psychometric evaluations. Both because treatment effects are going to make cross-generational comparisons worse than useless, and also because the thing being measured has become irrelevant.

> it's still better to be smarter no matter what the average is.

Certainly, but the devil's in the details.

"infamous army" by Georgette Heyer (she pretty much invented the bodice-ripper genre which Barbara Cartland drove a long way afterward) was on the reading list at cranwell college. Best description of the battle of waterloo ever, alongside the romance. The lead characters include Harry Smith and his Wife, who are the stars of "the spanish bride" which is about the campaign in Spain, when not about smooching and teenage love affairs. She became Lady Smith.. of Ladysmith (south Africa) fame. Nothing like doing "the crown" before fictionalised fact was on netflix

Sometimes, the reading list is quite varied.

They could have chosen the first 2 chapters of Stendhal's "charterhouse of parma" if you want a vibe from down at the platoon level (for much the same reasons as Heyer's book was chosen for an overall view at Wellington's level)
I used it for most of a year, and from what I can tell they go out of their gamified way to not teach any grammar or even vocabulary. Not all the time but ~20% popping up sounds and spellings, but providing no way at all to know/check what the meaning is... Why? Why not have a dictionary of the words you've "learned" and will be tested on?

Going to a fixed sequence of learning "the path" so that you're forced to cover topics and words in a specific order, and then introducing grammar that has never been taught... Why? Either cover them in order, or don't.

Eventually, you figure out the right answer by trial and error and "learn" it, but only after having developed a bad habits and wrong answers... Why? Of course there are Anki's and such out there that cover all the words so I guess they want you to just do that.
This is impressive, but won't have huge impact, IMO.

Way back in 2015, MySQL Cluster (NDB Cluster engine) benchmarked 200m transactions/second on commodity hardware [1]. It was read-committed transactions, not snapshot isolation, but still impressive. NDB (or RonDB, the new DB by its author) uses a non-blocking 2-phase commit protocol (failed transaction coordinators are failed over) and is even open-source. Still, it hasn't had a big impact outside of the Telecom and real-time gaming worlds.

RDMA, sounds unsafe by design
As a descendant of Sun Tzu, I'm surprised to see a discussion about him at HN:)
My experience coding for it on an IoT Hackaton, has made me decide to never touch it again unless there is no other option, like the customer wants it.

Really nothing that could earn my heart over traditional RDMS offerings.
that has to be a troll.

otherwise, I guess we really are actually at that black mirror episode.

I would have never guessed we would be there within 5 years of it's release, holy fuck
Where's that stereotype from? I always thought this is a basic cultural difference between people from Germanic countries vs. North America.
OSIs licenses are only for software. If you open source things other than software, you’ll have to use a license that addresses those types of media. Which is what Facebook did. CC licenses are a popular way to “open source” non-software content.
It is and it isn't. There's some good stuff there, but there's ever the risk that you'll get bushwhacked by something that you need to pay an expensive consultancy -- who just so happens to be the team behind the product -- to fix.

Though I feel bad for the person who decides to peruse Apache's list of projects and decide what technology to use based solely on the high-level overviews. Good luck picking the wheat from the chaff!
Storage is science fiction. We don't have the technology to store grid-scale power.

Power isn't "easy" to move with transmission lines: there are significant losses for long lengths. 3.1GW is nice, but the US's current generation capacity is roughly 3 orders of magnitude greater than this. The cost for Path 27 alone was $5.5B. Building just the transmission lines for what you describe would cost trillions, and that doesn't include the wind turbines.

What you describe isn't feasible.

It's very true, but to get agile to work well, I found you need quality senior people at every levels. Otherwise, gateways come in place to make up for the lack of experience... and you wind back in the waterfall hell scape.

Also a lot of people have taken in agile and bastardised it. They kept the keywords and love it in business speak, but won't let a sprint run without putting their hands on everything and everyone, destroying the actual velocity of the said team. And that is I think why so many people now hate agile. We went from increased engagement and transparency to impossibility to concentrate.
Lawmakers Trade Bank Stocks While Working on U.S. Bank-Failure Fallout
A lot of open-source Apache projects were backed by commercial companies, and clouds (primarly AWS) forked those projects competing directly with the companies backing the Apache projects. The end result was that the commercial companies mostly released new versions of the software with more restrictive licenses that could not be sold for free by the cloud companies.

That doesn't make Apache software a graveyard. It just makes that go-to-market open-source model leveraging Apache's brand a dead-end.
Is the RDMA nic offload important for scaling here in the big-O sense? Does it eliminate some worse-than-linear-time operations?
I was planning to add those pages and did not expect Grep to be on the front page of HN.

> Additionally, the promise of "No AI-Content" appears to be snake oil unless the creators have discovered a magic formula for reliably distinguishing AI output from human output.

From my testing, at least within your network, I did not notice any AI-generated content. Even if you find any low-quality sites, you can simply block the previous node that refers to the site (yet to be shipped). Grep will remove all the sites that the previous node was linking to, including any AI-generated ones.
I think what happens is that a module goes bad, not the whole pack. Also, people don't need 400+ volts and/or $10k of batteries for their house, they need something for the charging system which is typically 12/24/48v
Even just installing those stick-on rubber bumpers makes a huge difference. A soft, satisfying "thunk" when you close a cabinet door rather than a horrible bang/clatter.

Be wary asking this. People may state how they prefer to be contacted / promoted to, but this may not align with what is actually effective.
I had a hard time understanding the leap she made near the end of her video yesterday about co moving frames. She summarized the time travel theory/paradox as it has been known until now, and then she made some kind of reference to an co moving inertial frame observer ("moving at the same rate as the average of all of the stuff in the universe" paraphrased) she claimed would exist under general relativity.

My understanding was that there was no such thing as inertial frame observers in GR, and that an observer in GR is actually something traveling on a world line in time with a future light cone and a post light cone. The observer portion in GR is literally the ability to observe with light, not a coordinate system as defined from within an inertial frame as in special relativity.

Thats because in GR, because of the curvature of space, you could not extend a coordinate system across all of existence because you knew that in some areas curvature would cause that to be not accurate. You can sort of declare space effectively flat within a local region but not across the entire universe.

It also wasn't clear what someone moving at an co-frame to the average of all the stuff in the universe has to do with faster than light travel - in a spacetime diagram a co-frame would be vertical with a horizontal constant offset, but faster than light travel would have to be in v > c zone not vertical. Maybe I'm too much of a layman to understand the logic she was using but none of it was very clear to me.

Okay let us suppose there are three probable reasons for such a book to be chosen as mandatory reading: because it is right, because it is wrong, or because it is historically important as a landmark in the history of military thought.

Hi Animesh! The biggest difference would be that TD answers both "who should I sponsor AND how much?". It continually calculates the weight of each dependency in your codebase and distributes your monthly budget accordingly.

The next biggest difference is that it distributes micro-payments up to 3 levels deep into the dependency tree. We've noticed majority of people sponsor the top of mind projects, but the deep nested dependencies don't get any love. This automated approach should fix that.

Don't hesitate to ping me if you have any other questions please (email in profile).
