The flame is not what anyone here is worried about. 16 million lbs of force applied to disintegrating concrete results in a lot of chunks of heavy material launched at supersonic speeds at random, low flying trajectories away from the launch site.

There are GPS RTK systems designed for use by surveyors. They can cost over $10k, but you can also get much cheaper kits that you can put together yourself from SparkFun -- like less than $1k, easy.
Basically, lots of if...else statements combined with coroutines. Refactoring out as many big blocks of code helps a bit, but there's always yet another exception lurking in the shadows, waiting to show up at the least opportune time (such as when the system is under stress).
> was authors’ reluctance to release their books publicly without the ability to stop the then-rampant piracy by publishers." This original application for copyright is strikingly similar to its current use to prevent digital copying and distribution.

Depends. One of them is about an end-user action, one of them is about another publisher getting into distribution of the work.

They may involve the same technology (especially in 2023), but they are not the same action at all, which is a substantial part of the TFA.
Indeed. As Jose Chung taught us, the truth is out there but we wouldn't recognize it if it crawled up our pant-leg and bit us on the ass. (Not that the truth frequently takes the form of something that can crawl up our collective pant legs and bite us anywhere, much less the ass.)
It is perhaps cheaper to use an existing design instead of designing a special one for embedded applications. In fact the GX-415GA with an iGPU looks like the exact same package as the GX-412TC, the GPU is probably just not fused off.
Most of these services start with generous free amounts to bring in traffic and then quickly become mostly paid.
You can import new tiny cars and drive them all you want on a farm or private grounds, you just can’t take them on roads if they don’t meat road safety standards.

Even the advocate highlighted in this article (Economist) admits his would probably be a “death trap” on a busy highway.

Maybe the US should create separate standards for city streets and roads with low speed limits, that could be a good way to bring down vehicle sizes. But just allowing these things just anywhere seems like a recipe for increased fatalities. For every HN reader who would use theirs wisely there are 10 average Americans who would risk maiming.
OP stated he was hoping for more supply, or at least leas demand relative to supply. I stated why that may not work out. I said nothing about supply declining more than demand.

I still long in my heart for a pickup that is as small as possible while having an 8 ft bed, but honestly once you also need to take children with you wherever you go, the compromise of a shorter bed with a good sized back seat (to accommodate car seats) really begins to make a lot of sense.

I ended up just attaching a trailer hitch to my Chevy Volt and buying a lightweight 8ft trailer. As long as I just need to move big and not heavy, it's perfectly adequate, and the mileage when I'm not hauling is a lot better.

And it cost me about $2k while keeping me out of the insane used truck market.

I believe not now but Perl 5.004 was installed on Window NT (3.5 or 4) by default.
That made the case for its use on project that could not afford the IBM AIX or Silicon Graphics systems we were using at the time.

We used Netscape Fasttrack as the server.
Are you sure it is "installed by default" or it happens to be inside WSL? Because WSL is not the default.

It’s so weird that a bank would close the account of a customer they’ve had for 15 years.

Of course. I let "some users" do a bit too much work in my previous comment.

The point was that they're not doing anything that the other platforms aren't doing.

They seem to do a fair bit to identify content that breaks their guidelines. To the point that users often make up alternative terms for sensitive topics e.g. Nazis become Yahtzees/N@zi and suicide becomes unalive. The belief is that TikTok flags videos with these terms and may remove them outright or downrank them in the recommendation algorithm.

There's a lot more outright pornography on Twitter and Instagram than TikTok.
You can argue what he's doing is basically fraud. Those accounts claim, if you click the check, that "they subscribed to Twitter Blue and provided a phone number". Which they didn't.

LeBron was contacted by Twitter if he wants a free complimentary check paid for by Elon Musk. LeBron's team said "NO". And his status was misrepresented, anyway.

The purpose of this misrepresentation is so LeBron's followers believe LeBron is supporting Elon Musk and encouraging people to subscribe as well. Which he didn't.

This is a serious breach of trust between a social network and its users. The network is basically lying so it can profit from its celebrities by FORCING them to endorse a service they explicitly don't want to endorse.
>It's hard to find anyone in rural areas willing to work on them and not all mini trucks are equal.

Living in a rural area, I first saw these popping up at least a decade ago. The typical farmer / rancher has to be mechanically skilled and one of the benefits of these vehicles is that they are relatively simple mechanically speaking, IE: assuming availability of parts you could do the work yourself.
The time to first fix is mainly impacted by whether the receiver knows which satellites to listen to. This requires two things: having the ephemeris for the constellation (either 10min of listening to GPS signal, or getting that through AGPS), and it's approximate own position/time (done through cell antenna locations, and NTP) to know which satellites should be visible.

Once this is available, the receiver can then focus on the signals that are expected and will then be able to provide a 3D fix as soon as it receives something from 4 satellites, which would be in a few seconds.
Making Linux significantly better to use on the desktop would require taking tight control of the GUI stack [EDIT: really, the entire multimedia stack] to de-balkanize it and integrate & standardize its various layers, which would also mean modifying practically every program that uses it (which is why one can't just declare some GUI stack their official one and be done with it—the overall experience will still be super-janky).

That's... let's go with unlikely to happen.
When I was looking at GnuCash, I found a website that purported to list the US banks that had OFX support. It was just one guy maintaining it and it sounded exhausting, he eventually gave up. But it's like the one thing that would encourage me to switch around all my banks and credit cards, if I could be sure they supported that.

As a Perl developer, I never once used that feature. It does make some sense in the context of how Perl's own operators work, making them "do the right thing" for different cases. But for user code... not needed.
Stretching is great. If you're older and having chronic back pain, consider the advice of Dr. Stuart McGill and avoid stretching your back. It probably feels good for you in the short-term, but you could be weakening the tissue surrounding your discs, setting yourself up for herniation, and causing other joint issues.

I've had chronic back issues since I was 19 and they ended in my late 40s when I stopped stretching my back and focused on static strength exercises(McGill "big 3" plus lots of lat & trap strength training).

We spend 4 billion a year on Alzheimers, and what do we have to show for it? We spent at least 500 billion on AIDS and we have PrEP after 40 years of research.

The author's core assertion is that 1 billion should buy a potential treatment. The entire article is centered around this core premise. That is a flawed idea at it's core and shows that the author is writing on a subject beyond their pay grade. Worse, it's reinforcing emotions that other people who are not experts under the guise of being well researched. This article increases net ignorance.

> Instead, the NIH spent the majority of its money on broader, observational research that won’t directly bring relief to patients.

"Instead of spending money to solve the problem, they are first trying to understand the problem."

Is that not absolutely absurd to you? Am I insane for reading the author's statement that way? Does the rest of the article really not follow the same conceit?

The author makes the assertion that if there is no treatment there there is nothing to show. I would argue that to prove "nothing to show" you would have to argue that understanding of long COVID has not been increased. I do not think the article addressed what 1 billion got us, only what 1 billion did not get us.

This is literally what's happening.

LeBron and King have to pick up the negative reactions of their fans over their apparent "subscription" on one hand, and on the other they're fooling other subscribers into subscribing due to the false endorsement.

Note also that there's no rigorous argument COVID lasted three years. Biden's plan to end the COVID emergency in about a month is a political decision.

Right now a significant number of people are dying from COVID and there's no restrictions on everyday life. I expect the same to be true in two months when the state of emergency is lifted.

So either COVID ended a while back or it won't end for a while. I happen to believe the latter, but regardless I don't see a case for 3 years.
The problem with all of these "BI as Code" things is that _nobody_ that you want to use this knows Python or Markdown. If they did then they would just use Python and Markdown like they usually do.

1. what was the reasoning behind thinking billion/trillion parameters would be naive and wasteful? perhaps part are right and could inform improvements today.

2. can you elaborate on the failure to translate research breakthroughs, of which there are many, into ambitious AI products? do you mean commercialize them, or pursue something like alphafold? this question is especially relevant. everyone is watching to see if recent changes can bring google to its rightful place at the forefront of applied AI.
> to solve free-text survey analysis

The failure is that the company didn't have the goal of solving a customer issue. If it did, pivoting to use GPT in the survey space would be completely natural. The reason the company is shutting down is because it didn't just want to solve survey analysis, it wanted to do it using it's own tech. I can see how using GPT doesn't offer as large a moat as your own tech, but if you can't use GPT better than your competitors to solve your customer problems, you're not in the customer service business, you're in the software/tech making and selling business. Both may be ideal but the former is certainly feasible.
Show HN: Heuristi.ca – Discover topics using AI
Hey HN! I figured typing might not be the best way to interact with an LLM for all cases. You can ask standard questions to discover more about a topic, so I built a node-based interface that lets you ask those common questions by simply clicking the buttons. Admittedly, it needs some more work to be usable. I likely need to use GPT-4 instead of GPT3.5 Turbo, and I might need to work more on my prompts. I would still love to get your feedback, though!

He has released a lot of "Twitter files" data regarding highly questionable FBI interference and things like Twitter Trends manipulation in the past. And he has released large parts of the recommendation algorithm. And there is now a tab "following" which only shows you the tweets of the people you follow. And most importantly, free speech seems to be upheld much better than in the past, where people got blocked for extremely questionable reasons.

So all-in-all, he seems to be doing great. The one thing that is worse is that replies show now mostly people with blue checkmark instead of tweets with a lot of likes or followers.

It is more than that, it is essentially the entire clock containing the primary oscillator and dividers respectively counters. Watch closely, when several digits change at once, then it emits multiple pulses. Also note that the pulses are emitted from different places, there are essentially three counters, 0 to 12, 0 to 5, and 0 to 9. The three structures above the display are essentially just seven segment decoders, you can see the digit patterns encoded in them similar to mask ROM. There is one column for each digit and two rows for each segment, one to turn the segment on and one to turn it off. If you zoom in on the right of a decoder, the rows are actually labeled with [S]et and [R]eset and a letter A-G for the segment controlled by that row.

> But ANTIBODY LEVELS ARE NOT THE POINT. With intranasal booster to complement intramuscular vacination for respiratory diseases what you're doing is recruiting specialized immune cells to become resident in the upper respiratory mucosa.

Let's be clear: that's the goal, not the reality. There is no such intranasal vaccine, and your understanding of IgA/IgG/IgM/etc. is incomplete, because even though these different antibody types are associated with different tissues, it's not a categorical thing. Likewise, it's not like T- and B-cells never make it to the mucosa -- the fundamental issue is that neither form of immunity stays ramped to 11 forever, and cellular immunity takes time to spin up post-infection.

To a first approximation: antibodies ramp up quickly and decline quickly, and cellular responses ramp up more slowly, and last longer. When you get infected with a respiratory pathogen, the IgA levels in your nasal mucosa spike early in part because that's the tissue the virus encounters first. If the virus lives long enough to make it elsewhere in the body, it encounters IgG/IgM and ultimately, T- and B-cells.

Researchers have been chasing this idea that they can cause persistent cellular immune responses in the nasal mucosa for decades, but there's no good reason to believe it will ever happen.

> I'm waiting on an approved intranasal vaccine in the USA before I stop wearing N95s in public and non-home indoor spaces (and limiting my time in them).

This is not going to work. You are going to get it. If you have been vaccinated with two doses of the current vaccines and are not severely immunocompromised (e.g. currently undergoing a bone-marrow transplant), you are as well-protected as you are ever going to be.

> I really, really wish vaccine development for sars-cov-2 was still a priority.

I will emphasize this again: the current vaccines work. You are putting your life on hold while waiting for (effectively) a cure to the common cold. This is not remotely guaranteed to happen in your lifetime.

Get two doses -- or more if you like (though there's no evidence for it) -- and be confident that you've done everything practical you can do to reduce your risk.

There’s something off for me about this way of thinking about innovation.

A lot of it is just random chance.

DNA mutation is just random chance for a start.

And a lot of inventions are discovered by accident - rubber as mentioned but lots of others.

You can tell a story afterwards about a bunch of chance events that interacted, or stacked on top of one another.

That’s just what humans do. We will turn any events into a story to try and force it to make sense.

The truth is though, it’s all very random and out of control and mostly life makes no sense
