The numbers don't really work for that theory either.

Eyeballing this CDC death chart [1], non-accidental deaths from ages 5-44 add up to less than 30,000 per year. Most of those are cancer and heart disease deaths in the later ages. The US health system is not necessarily worse than peer health systems at dealing with such issues, and in any case, the health system can only do so much about them, because there are public health issues upstream like obesity.

But even if you magically completely wiped out those deaths only in the US and not in peer countries - which could never come even close to happening - it wouldn't do more than close half of the 60,000 gap I pointed out in my previous post. A gap caused mainly by accidental deaths (and suicide).

All this is just putting numbers to the basic, commonsense facts we know about mortality in the young: they don't die in the hospital, so making the hospital better doesn't do much to fix their mortality. And reducing the mortality of the young is the main thing needed to bridge the gap between US and peer countries, as I explained in a sibling comment.

I didn’t say that.

You might benefit from re-reading what I wrote and assume the best possible interpretation of what I wrote.

People have an obsession with making "blacklists" but never go through the prcess of resampling to confirm continued malicious use, or actually providing a point for getting off the list.

Ask HN: Reliably Testing on WebKit from Windows
Hi all,
I've been stuck on this problem for way too long (by way too long I mean more than I ideally should).

I recently made a comment regarding testing webapps and compatibility on Safari (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35421554#35436004) and got a pointer towards https://webkit.org/downloads/ but these are browsers/implementations on Linux, as a primary Windows user do I have to use Linux in order to test WebKit?

Why isn't there a WebKit based browser for Windows; I am pretty unaware on the topic and a lot of forum-searching and trying to build my own WebKit wrapper to run on Windows has led me to the conclusion it's a very painstaking process to work out a maintainable WebKit browser for Windows.

Here are a few things I have tried to test on Safari, purely from Windows:

- Install Epiphany on WSL2: This is slow but bearable; works OK but took a lot of setup since WSLg doesn't work well with Debian/Fedora and I had to give into installing Ubuntu.

- Use BrowserStack: Expensive, slow, don't want to pay just to test on Safari.

- Playwright Mini Browser: Very minimal, drag/drop events don't work; lot of incompatibility, not well-maintained.

- Using TeamViewer to use my partner's Mac

- The worst of them all; setting window.* as undefined to mimic features not supported on Safari.

My question therefore is, how do you all test on Safari who may be stuck in a similar position as me, unable to afford a Mac; and a primary machine on Windows. Note; I have a dual-boot Linux system but I parallelly work on some CUDA applications whose drivers have been horrible to set up and I do not want to keep switching OSs whenever a bug arises.
Interesting, can edit with hours gone by but not delete. Ah well, the inevitable next time. Thanks for the tip.

> You really need to think a lot about your access patterns before using DynamoDB. DynamoDB is OLTP and not OLAP. You aren't going to have a ton of ability to do ad-hoc queries with DynamoDB. that's just not a use case it's well suited for.

This was a trap that I fell into. While I didn't go with Amplify, I went with DynamoDB assuming that "it's a high performance database, surely I'll be able to bend it do what I need it too, right?". I feel like AWS should be more upfront about the limitations of DDB, it's a great database but they sell it like the solution to everything, and it simply isn't.
>A single piece of software can be used by multiple different governments... In which case no one government has "paid for it".

That is the point of free software. NASA writes a software so why should any other person/government need to redo the same effort twice?
They got their moneys worth for their work so if someone enjoys that later for free, why is that a problem?

Suppose a small municipality needs a small backscratch software, they hire a local Dev, that Dev gets the job done and the municipality releases it as free software. Now why shouldn't any other govt anywhere in the world not leverage that?

Why can't you pay Microsoft to develop a new feature in Linux kernel for example? Why do you assume a for profit entity has to keep their work proprietary?
Do you know how freelancing or project based jobs work? A tender is made and L1 is chosen. The output should be open sourced so what's the problem?
That is a much better argument for why profit is like welfare than how profit is like wages.
Hey, Sorry about that! Maybe we should have dialed the reactive stuff down a bit!

Why Tech Companies Are Bad
You really shouldn’t assume anything in software or any complex system. I know this wouldn’t fly at my job, and I don’t work at Mozilla.

This is basic testing.

Normally this is the mark of a bad software engineer, but attempting to blame the platform you’re on for your lack of testing takes it a to a new low.

Mistakes happen, admitting full incompetence that basic testing isn’t done is damning. This is not a good defense of Firefox nor Mozilla.

It's not really a contradiction. People who want financial system free of government control and people who want government to prosecute for crypto crimes are mostly different people.

The latter usually care about 100% APR on dollar and other scammy promises, and not about any real crypto benefits. When they get burned, they want government to step in and regulate.

The former don't care much that system allows to scam people (the "it's your fault if you were scammed" attitude), they care more that it's free from regulations.
I'd imagine that's the world's tradition for thousands of years and any thing different is a recent development and rather exclusive
Monetary policy has incredible sway over the economy, so they should bear the brunt of the blame. It's odd to me that everyone talks about how important democracy and elections are, but when it comes to the mighty dollar, the thing that runs this country and largely the world, all decisions affecting its value are made by a board of unelected individuals behind closed doors through opaque models. The FOMC membership itself partly consists of bankers elected by other bankers, which always seemed like a conflict of interest to me. The Fed deserves more scrutiny, if anything.

They aren’t a net positive for everyone when valuable transportation lanes are lost for bicycles. I’m not taking my four kids to the doctor on a bicycle. In an emergency, I’m not going to pedal my way to the emergency room. When it’s pouring rain, or baking hot, I’m not going to ride a bicycle. If I’m buying groceries for a family of six, I’m not going to carry a week’s worth of groceries in a backpack. A bicycle trip of 15 miles takes a whole lot longer than a car trip of the same distance. How about transporting young babies on a bike? Bikes are far more unsafe than cars.

Here's the gist of the argument's origins, from about a decade ago:

https://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/student-voices/the_desi...

More recent discoveries point to the genome's 3D architecture as being critical to its function, and large chunks of non-coding DNA appear to play key roles in keeping it stable.

The point, however, is that Dawkins is not a scientist, he's just a rather fundamentalist-minded ideologue, and that's true for the whole "New Atheist" cohort.
Same. When I started to take my hobby seriously I was basically replacing a "cheap" soldering iron every couple of months and tips would have lasted me a couple of week.

When I done the maths, it has become quite expensive.

So that's when I decided to buy a Hakko FX-951 and I couldn't have been happier. It makes a huge difference between the cheap ones.

It's been working well for over 3 years now, no issues. Just make sure to use original tips. I had some knock offs and some have burned off the same day I started using them. Original tips last ages.

Don't get me wrong - the cheap ones will work and are great if you need to solder something from time to time. But if you plan to do some serious amount of soldering, don't bother with cheap tools.
It's generally a bad idea to use an already known substance as Unobtainium, as it forces greater suspense of disbelief for those who know, or can predict, the properties of the substance.

If you familiarize yourself with ideographic/ideographic-adjacent languages like Japanese or Chinese you will probably notice that they are way more efficient than English. Yet those languages pay a tokenization tax too (thanks in no small part to the decisions of the largely western Unicode committees to favor western character sets - the UTF8 encoding favors ASCII tremendously)
Yeah, your trying to hide your argument in specificity makes it an "anecdote" and not anything meaningfully contributing to the conversation. So you can either find specific sources that demonstrate more than that "you feel like traffic has gone up due to bike lanes in city X", and that would be an interesting content/addition to the discussion or you can mark it more clearly as an opinion, and people will be more likely to ignore it...
Depends on the use case.

You will find folks recommending Clickhouse.

We use Kafka and Elasticsearch with Wide Angle Analytics.

Kafka gives us scalable and cheap storage potential. Kafka Streams means we can easily create "live" aggregates.

Elastic search gives us fast data discoverability.

We chose our stack because of existing expertise in the team.

Is this the easiest setup? No.

Is it scalable? Yes.

Is it cheap? Can be.
When Is a CPU Not a CPU? Benchmark of Kubernetes Providers and Node Efficiency
Yeah I'm having trouble understanding why this isn't something that's already accomplishable using SD + ControlNet. I guess Segment Anything lets you not need to manually segment an image? The example images don't seem to be particularly better than what one could generate without segmenting using autogenerated canny or scribble or depth controlnet images to me though.
"Number of wires" is a unitless quantity.
I guess it depends on the location. More lanes don't equal better traffic. In my city, every road is pretty much a 2-3 lane highway for cars, and it seems like a huge waste of space. Invites speeding, crashes.

There's been road diets, where they've been reduced to single lane, and these had had no effect on travel time. Did reduce crashes a lot, less of that aggressive jostling for position, just cars chugging along calmly in single file.

There's been years long construction on a few big buildings, blocking whole lanes, forcing cars into single file; absolutely zero effect on travel times.

When there's snowfall, only middle lanes are cleared. Zero effect on traffic flow.

Imho traffic flow is pretty much determined by number of cars and number of intersections, and very little by number of parallel lanes. So much room for dedicated bike or bus lanes, it's really AND/AND, really everybody wins, and it's such a tragedy that my city just doesn't seem to understand that. All it takes is paint and bollards.

Then they would lose any semblance of plausible deniability, which would expose them to being positively identified as bad actors. What it looks like now is mere incompetence in the face of enormous complexity, which means they lose a lot less face compared to doing what you suggest. Put bluntly, they're hiding within the space covered by Hanlon's razor.
There is a design issue with the titles. They are placed on top of images, but with no background and without selecting the images in a way that they cant clash. On some parts of the images it is then white on white or black on black.

>Right now I’m just kinda jaded and burnt out and unfortunately I think that’s bleeding into interviews.

It probably is. I've experienced this myself. You just have to guard against it as best as you can.

>and have trouble caring or finding any enthusiasm in programming or technology anymore, though I’m not sure why, this has been an issue long before the layoff.

If you are used to a larger company, it's probably the bureaucracy and administration required at larger companies. Try smaller companies if that is the case. I've been working at startups and near startups for decades now and it's much more fulfilling. It's certainly more work, more accountability and more stress, but I feel more purpose doing that than being a cog in a larger company.
I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's not inane. It was the government that paid for roads and highways, after all, not Ford or GM.
But in terms of temporal resolution you still have 45Hz which is too low for good inking.

5-day weeks are just a habit of history

People are talking increasingly more about mental health, avoiding burnout, and work-life balance. Remote work was a niche thing in tech for quite some time until COVID acted as a catalyst. But we never wanted just to work from anywhere. It was always about a more flexible lifestyle. And 4-day weeks could be the next important step. The tech sector will be probably leading the way, just as it did with remote work.

Making a Google Sheets

I wanted to see how many tech companies I could find who are already advertising 4-day weeks on their career pages. So I started to build a list on Google Sheets and so far I've found 42 companies.

Building a frontend

Google Sheets is nice, but I needed a proper front end. I installed a fresh Laravel (my favorite!) and made an html/css draft. I never design in Figma, I like web browsers as my canvas directly.

Registering a domain

First, I wanted 4dayremote.com but it was taken. I also considered 4daysok.com but that's too similar to remoteok.com I went with 4daytech.com (registered via NameCheap).

Setting up database

I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible as I don't know if I will be working on the project in the future. It depends if it gets some traction or not. I discovered that Google Sheets has an API where I can just fetch data from a URL – perfect, I could use my already existing Google Sheet as a database.

Some technical work

Before getting the site up on the web, I had to do some technical stuff, like changing DNS records, creating a new site on my Digital Ocean server, and adding Plausible for gathering statistics.

Launch

It didn't take much time and this was important to me. I can't be sure if I can make some money with 4daytech.com so I wanted to start with something super simple. I spent some time in the morning at home and now wrote the blog post in a nearby park. Hope you like it!

Would be interesting to hear what you think about 4-day week trend?
>> It's plausible that this bug was engineered as an attack on Firefox.

Does it need proof? Someone can make a statement like this solely based upon past behavior. They're merely stating that it is plausible.
Hey, yes, the initial tutorial can feel a bit too hand-holding. However, it is only one-time and should not reappear once done.

It is intentionally so basic, as we wanted to make sure that any user, including those who have never written any assembly code before , can get a gist of it at the start.

That said, the ` Step 1: Write your code in the editor ` might be a bit overkill :smile:

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the tutorial so new-comers can find it useful, and at the same time, it is not annoying, we would be very happy to hear it in a github issue.

Thanks!
Wow, even Pedobear made it in there.
[MVP review] BeLearn – Your Learning Journey, Personalized
Hi there!

I'm building BeLearn - productivity app for self-learners, where they can get personal recommendation on what to learn next. Taking notes will be frictionless, they will find peers based on what they are learning and get personalized recommendation towards their goals. More information of idea you can find in presentation at landing page.

We will track progress by what resources people note over time and generate AI model which will generate personalized roadmaps. Also GPT AI will create summaries of notes on specific resources, so newcomers would learn topics much faster.

What do you think about this idea? I would be happy to get any constructive feedback!
Hey all, we ran some benchmarks after seeing surprisingly low NodeAllocatable numbers for our GKE nodes.

I decided to share because the benchmark is useful, but please keep in mind that GKE, AKS, and EKS all were benchmarked with burstable nodes... which adds some complexity to how you interpret this. The comment and link at the top of the post explains it. GKE isn't as bad as it first looks.
Should the cost really be 15x? Or even 5x? In this case, it's not even a question of whether the network is better at English, it's that the cost to communicate with it at all in other languages is higher. Once you pay that cost you now have to deal with the network potentially generating lower quality results for prompts in non-English languages too, which raises the actual cost of doing something with GPT beyond 15x since you probably will need more attempts.
> There's no belief system called science

There are two belief systems called science.

The less common one is the one you outline immediately after denying its existence: it's about asking questions and trying to establish evidence-based models to make predictions and testing/validating the assumptions in those models. It's probably more accurate to call this belief system empiricism.

The more common one is a deferral to expert authority, where experts are designated by certain established scientific institutions. Because many lack the time/will/ability to independently verify claims made by authoritative figures, this deferral requires substantial trust in these institutions to come up with good answers.

This second belief system is what most people mean when they label themselves or others as pro- or anti-science. Paradoxically, even though the authoritative institutions ostensibly produce information empirically, expressing skepticism and asking questions is often perceived as a lack of faith, and therefore anti-science.

I'm being real generous here that on a 4 lane road, if you want to add bikes I would just take away 1 lane of car traffic, and that would allow for bikes to be insulated from the cars in both directions.

But I definitely agree with you that we could probably 1/100th the size of roads (and open up a whole lot of space for property development), if everyone biked everywhere. (Not useful as a goal, just useful as an idea for space requirements.)
What - if any - nontraditional treatments have you ended up gravitating towards for that?
