> Now I highly doubt that an elephant occasionally knocking over a tree is the only thing holding back the continent from being forested, especially given that many elephants live in densely forested areas

Indian and African elephants are quite different ecologically speaking.

> but if for the sake of argument we assume that their behavior is a major factor, you still need to explain why their behavior, and thus that forcing function acting on the environment, would suddenly change

I never claimed it would suddenly change, I claimed that it's been consistent and has maintained a status quo.

Am I misunderstanding you?

(Personally I fucking despise PayPal so much but lately I see more and more foreign companies start offering iDeal payment option. Even though they charge an extra fee for it I'll gladly take it over PayPal).
I don't see why a simple TFIDF with ~10 LoC and a few minutes doesn't make this at least reasonably/crudely done.
I did quickly peruse the paper now. If I'm understanding it right the probability of being affected by dementia goes from 16% to 12% for the 2 different populations, and it also only seems to work for women. For women it decreases from 17% to 12% while for men it stays exactly the same. With these numbers I rest my case, if this is being taken seriously by the academic community I do not know what to say. What if more women were diagnosed of dementia before that time period (because say women were generally considered hysterical) and a definitional change in dementia reduced diagnosis cases?. What if hospitals were getting funded for taking more psychiatry patients and then that reduced?. What if there was a change in a popular birth control supplement? I cannot see how this can lead to any clean conclusive hypothesis.
This betrays a complete lack of understanding of hardforks in Monero.

Whenever Monero upgrades to new consensus rules they indeed do so via a hardfork, but that only works because there's social consensus (both economic and mining wise). If the consensus would be to stay with the original rules, people would (and it has happened before).

Even in Bitcoin this works, and Bitcoin has even hardforked before! The difference is that in Bitcoin people want to stay on the original chain.

Keeping money in Monero is safe because you'll still keep the money after the hardfork, that's just how they work.

This is just Bitcoin maxi nonsense scary talk.
Limonene has been investigated as a rocket fuel. The unsaturated bonds add a bit of extra energy compared to kerosene.
We have decades of partial answers as to how the brain affects the gut, but none are anywhere near complete.

This finding, that some gluco-corticoid derivatives inhibit cell maturation, is new in its specifics but there was plenty of evidence to suggest the hypothesis. But it's a tiny part of an entire ecosystem. People are already told to avoid NSAID's, so it will have little clinical impact.

Saying "autoimmune disease" is as precise as saying you have a performance problem in the cloud. Worse, people mistakenly use that term for any chronic immune-system-mediated syndrome.

Even worse, saying that "People are sick because society is stressed, so we should reduce stress in society" completely misdirects useful resources. People who want to do good need to dig in and do the work, not hand-wave.

Chronic immune-mediated diseases fall in the crack between primary care and GI specialists. The specialists only have time for surgery or drugs, and primary care doesn't have the expertise for the patient months-long self-experiments required to isolate relevant factors (among diet, stress, infectious disease, microbiome, genetics).

This is a structural health-care opportunity for anyone able to take it. Private equity could fund practice groups with a few doctors and 6:1 advanced-practice providers, partnered with diagnostics and EHR peers, carefully working through and evolving GI algorithms and diagnostics. The alternatives (surgery and drugs) are expensive and ineffective and the incidence is high, so the market is definitely worth pursuing. Longer-term, it may help with automating the actual practice of medicine, where each patient is an experiment with a series of knowns, some negotiated interventions, and a track record of results: all invaluable data for this case and those like it, and a methodology applicable to other chronic immune diseases. Automating the accumulation of expertise scientifically in a practice system is really the future of computers in medicine. It will never happen via diagnostics (Quest, LabCorps) or EHR (Cerner/Epic) because their virtues are contra-indicated in the continuous experiment of treating chronic disease.
Jails are not VM-like. The defining attribute of a VM is that it runs its own kernel. FreeBSD has a virtualization system: it's called bhyve.
Let this be a lesson to those on the boards of tech companies. It's not necessarily horrible to chose a new CEO that has an MBA degree but also be sure that he has an engineering degree. An MBA only CEO in tech is almost always a poor out come, as in the case of Boeing.
It's certainly not in any way whatsoever similar to "prompting" a human. And yes there are definitely random processes involved. For an extremely objective prompt you may get very similar results but for general stuff like "write an e-mail about this or that" it will be significantly different each time.
Given that it is Glassdoor's interest to provide employers with pretty much the power to veto negative reviews, then the data points in terms of satisfaction will greatly be skewed favorably to the companies.

While we can acknowledge that a lot of negative reviews will also stem from employees who were terminated / laid off / dismissed as the company may be undergoing financial / economic challenges, there can also be a lot of valid ones.

But then again, each individual (who will do a review) knows the adage to _never burn the bridges_, hence, either they use Glassdoor as a venting platform, or have the courage to stand up and speak their minds.

Unless there's a net benefit upside to the individual providing a negative (albeit constructive) criticism, it'll really be hard to weed out what's really helpful from what is written out of anger and desperation.
"Why these people are even allowed to stay in the event of mass layoffs"

Because those are the terms of their visas.

The compensation crash might be averted by giving h1bs better rights in the form of a longer time to find a new job - then they could negotiate their salaries the same as you do.
That is both arrogant and 95% of the time wrong. Accordingly, I have upvoted you. Take it how you will.
Honestly, as someone who does this, Bard seems to be much better at writing natural emails. It's just easier to dump some thoughts in to bard and ask it to redraft, then fluff it a little to sound like me.
Usually it's a good idea to start with a simple base case with only a few moving parts/interactions such that you can handle it all in your head.
Only once you understand the base case well you complexify.
Perhaps but I’m pretty confident a ChatGPT is not “it” this time.
The author seems unaware or at least uninterested in the fact that writing style can have a dramatic impact on output. It's unclear if they wish to not be emailed "by ChatGPT" or if they wish to not have to sift through unnecessary and flowery pose.

I'll spare you the details, but a follow up "That's great. However, please rewrite it in the style of Ernest Hemingway." delivers concise, yet obviously Hemingway-esque emails. Example here: https://pastebin.com/rrkCMd8c It works much better in a two-step process. If "Write this email in the style of Ernest Hemingway" is affixed to the original prompt, the model will generate prose at length, defeating the purpose of being concise.

"That's great. However, please rewrite it in the concise style of Paul Graham," of course, works even better.
Flip a coin (or roll a die). I'm not kidding. There has been research on this. It has two benefits. One, as you flip the coin, you'll find yourself rooting for a certain outcome -- that's what you should do, regardless of how the coin lands.

And in some cases where you truly have no idea, it helps push your brain into a choice.
I think you might be getting the down votes because antivaxers will always find a way to justify their vaccine fears, so it is futile to insert them into the discussion when it isn’t about them.
GPS is well above where Kessler Syndrome would be a problem. GPS orbits in medium-earth orbit with 12-hour period. The only other thing in area are other navigation constellations and there is much more space than LEO. Also, GPS is high enough that would require special and large anti-satellite weapons to take out.

There was a post this week, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36043377, about alternatives to GPS.

Would this be something law enforcement can fix in PR? or are they part of the problem
Thanks for discussion.

The mature and well architected tech stacks in traditional finance come from the economy of the scale, from where also comes funding as you metioned. Crypto currently has the blockspace problem which prevents from scalability. So, while there are some well performing companies in crypto (dozens of them), there are much more companies in traditional finance, just because of scale.

The problem of blockspace have been solved in smaller networks with use of sharding, and will be rolled out to bigger networks in form of upgrades. If the world does not see regulation uproar banning crypto everywhere in coming years, crypto will endure true economies of scale. Think every PoS app, every B2B payment gateway, every web application in the wild accepting both Visa and crypto based payments, with crypto fee -- and price -- being less. I don't see how traditional finance can withstand this challenge. IMO this is also like BBS forums vs. Web technologies in 90s. I say it as someone who worked on parsing and producing Mastercard related file formats, and also worked on enterprise crypto applications. While I agree right now the crypto is laughable from many aspects, so it was the web in it's early years.
The minimum salary really should be increased these days.

Given the current income percentiles in the US (https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-household-income-percen...). The current H1B min-salary is $60k, which is below the median household wage in the US.

The min-salary should instead be pegged to the p90, which is currently at $130k.

That way foreign workers (which includes myself and many friends) should absolutely be held to the highest standard and be the best and the brightest and pushing the bar higher for 90% of US citizens.
My dad, who grew up on a farm, always said the same thing.
This is the most interesting thing I've read so far today — and I've read a LOT of interesting stuff already!
Said it years ago in another post when this same thing came up.

Maybe the autorudder is the issue. PWM noise. In the previous article there was mention that the boats had autorudders on them.

Perhaps this is happening more because more people are using invasive noise producing equipment.

Of course...I am not an Orca researcher, nor am I in Spain. I wonder if it should be mentioned to someone official?
I can guarantee you that the equivalent code which I generate (taking >100 times as much time) has a comparable error/typo rate. I can say this with confidence because ChatGPT, while not perfect, "knows" lots of things I don't know and absolutely makes me 10x as efficient. Now, I am a pretty crummy software engineer so ymmv, but it's worth noting how far the goalposts have moved for assessing AI: from "simulates understanding of language in a general way" to "comparable in any way to a professional specialist in a random task (and much faster)". A few months ago everyone was losing their minds over how good ChatGPT was, and while some of that was overblown, nothing has fundamentally changed except we have become used to it and are looking for the next shiney tech thing. At least we're not talking about crypto anymore.
Honestly if people are working together to do assignments that's not the end of the world. IMO you probably learn more doing it that way.

If people are selling answers that's a different story, but that's what in person exams are for.
On the contrary - the entire purpose of HTML is to construct a specific object model in a web browser. HTML is a serialization format for expressing DOM structure. It’s not ‘idiosyncratic’, it’s the way the language is defined.
> What kind of a device will allow me to connect it via cat6 Ethernet to two different routers on different subnets? Is it what all those "WAN" ports on the multi-WAN routers expect already that I'll do?

Yes. The multi-WAN routers can (or should) be able to manage any sort of WAN over Ethernet handoff; bridged PPPoE, DHCP on public address, DHCP on private address, static IPs. One of those fits what your ISP router provides to LAN clients.

Personally, I'd take the time and build an overly complicated custom system (and I have!), but off the shelf should work too. The tricky thing if you build it yourself is determining when the links are up; for my system, I have PPPoE as primary and low quota LTE as secondary, so it's easier, if the PPP link is connected and has responded to ping within the last 30 seconds, I use that, if not I use LTE. In your case, you might need to build some other liveness check.

Don't expect perfect balancing either --- sometimes multiple bulk downloads will end up using the same connection and you won't have any using the other one, but statistically things should work out.

Ask HN: Pitch Deck Services Dead with AI?
I run a pitch deck consulting agency that helps early-stage companies prepare investor pitch decks for Seed through to Pre-IPO. We interview the founder, prepare the deck, and financial model, and then design it.

Our sales this month are down massively, over 80% from the same month last year, and I'm trying to understand the cause, things really fell after SVB collapse, because otherwise, we were at par with the year prior.

Based on what you all have seen in terms of the VC environment and ChatGPT, do you think this decline can attribute more to the economic situation or has my business already been completely killed from ChatGPT by founders using it for their decks?

If not killed yet, do you think the consultative approach and multi-faceted deliverables are safe from generative AI or should I just pack it up and call it quits after 10 years of doing this?
I think the point of the original article is that tip prompts are expanding well beyond foodservice to stores and retailers where tipping was never previously part of the compensation structure. These companies did, and still do, pay well above "a living wage" but the additional money is still highly tempting.
Running a charger network is not the same thing as being an energy company like Shell or Exxon Mobil. Tesla has to pay peak electricity rates for their superchargers to the local utility provider. So it’s not a high margin business.

"Mexico has none of the actual infrastructure or skilled workforce needed to be an actual manufacturing powerhouse that makes things from scratch"

To be fair, no one caught the perpetrator who did the anti-Asian attacks in my area. But given the nature of the crime, it was obviously anti-Asian hate.

So now the question is: which party has more anti-Asian hate?

What I can say, is that about the same time, my sister who is a doctor was getting chewed out by her patients who wouldn't believe they had COVID19, they didn't want the "Chinese Doctor" (let alone a "Clinton supporting woman"), and were demanding to get useless ivermectin to treat their symptoms. Because "obviously" my sister being a female doctor proves she's a Clinton supporter or some bullshit like that.

Over, and over again. The anti-chinese hate (and again, we aren't Chinese. But bigots are blind to these issues...) was from people who were prouding proclaiming themselves to be Republican.

--------------

I'm well aware of the anti-Asian hate of the African American community in the 90s too. Back then I will tell you that it was Black people who looked down upon Asians (and I understand the population dynamics associated with the LA Race riots). But 2020 is a different time.

This is absolutely, a right-wing thought process. They blamed China for COVID19 (and Asians who kinda-look Chinese to them, got wrapped up in it). Add on a bit of anti-Clinton misogynists and yeah. Its a pretty obvious which side of the political aisle was causing me, and my family, issues.

And again, I get it. Its not that "All Republicans" do this. But what I'm trying to point out that by ignoring these obvious truths and obvious realities of just 2 or 3 years ago, you're enabling these assholes to be racist again. So its important for me to talk out about it, and its important for the non-Racist Republicans to be aware that these things happened. And that you need to clamp down on the racists in your party.

------

And the anti-Chinese protester who was yelling at me to go back to China and leave this country (and again, I'm not Chinese so this is completely insane... but whatever). Okay, I dunno which party he was part of, but I'm _guessing_ he was Republican. Sound like a safe bet?
It’s a bunch of crap. Maybe shouldn’t look for medical information from a social worker on a clickbait site.

Diabetes (specifically Type 2) is correlated with Alzheimer’s - how that makes for a useful new classification of diabetes is nonsense.

This would be about as sensical as calling nicotine addiction Type 2 lung cancer.

It also doesn’t help

> However, classifying Alzheimer's as type 3 diabetes is controversial

No, not in the medical community it isn’t. That there are some crackpots and quacks out there doesn’t change that - there is not serious debate ongoing about this in medicine.

It wouldn’t be a viable name anyway as the number 3 has already been reserved/in common use in actual clinical and research practice for pancreatogenic diabetes.
Free google money so chrome isn’t seen as a monopoly
> the article is an example of what OP is asking for

I don't dispute that. It just might also be a lie.
From what I've seen so far, the best writers (and, I suppose, the best _editors_) tend to get the best results from ChatGPT. I have seen some examples of people whose writing I already liked drive it in ways I never imagined; but like the author suggest "normies" tend to get piles of drivel.
This is just the beginning. Ever since late last year, I estimate that around 25-30% of everyone I ever talked to via some online session where we had to share the screen for something or another, had a ChatGPT tab open. For students this jumps to around 50%.
It's been a couple days since this thread quieted down, but I've continued to think about the logic behind the discussion. I believe the fallacy here is akin to arguing about numbers without units attached to them.

For most of the people in this thread, the units are all something like "number of times my house burns down." I guess I'd rather my house burned down once rather than twice, so to that extent your position is not irrational. But the second time is not meaningfully different; the only further loss is maybe a magazine or newspaper that the postal service delivered the day after the first fire and placed on the ashes that used to be my mailbox. It's certainly sad that I won't get to read the paper after the second fire in as many days, but I'm still mostly concerned that my house burned down.

Your units, on the other hand, are inconsistent and surprisingly ordered. Either you really enjoyed the unburned article you read, apparently enough to forget that the rest of your worldly possessions are gone (this is the "at least nobody eavesdropped on my conversation with the MITM" position), which implies that the units are large, or that avoidance of eavesdropping outweighs undetected MITM. Or else you wear an asbestos suit 24/7 because you already assumed most of the world is on fire and don't care if it engulfs your home (this is the part about how you believe HN could someday serve malicious JS, so that origin authenticity wasn't a big deal in the first place), which suggests that the units were small.

Your values are your own, and only you can decide to change them. But the discussion might have been shorter and smoother if you'd acknowledged that others have been using a single, consistent unit called "catastrophes," and that the only numbers we care about are zero and any.
Sure, but it's not like they're intentionally randomizing it. You can set parameters (like temperature or penalties), but it's not intentionally randomizing things.
I prefer the ones where people have ordered the wrong size/color, to wit:
"I meant to order a black one but I ordered a white one by mistake."
Agreed. I can't help but think that giving normal, technical users a great browser, and then catering on bended knee to enterprises for a very controllable, supported, extended version as the source of revenue that supports the normal browser is a sustainable model. Maybe not a model that takes over the world, but one that sustains development of a good open source browser.
Lightning isn't a real threat because:

- The UX is horrible.

- To be user friendly, you need to reintroduce trust into the system, defeating the point.

- It's still more expensive to lock up Bitcoin in Lightning than to use Monero.

- The privacy of Lightning is poor compared to Monero.

The only thing Monero lacks compared to Bitcoin is the amount of speculative network effect it has, which is indeed what's holding back Monero's popularity.
Absolute rule of the attention economy: If someone has your attention, they will eventually try and make money off of it.
Piano keyboard is easy to memorize since it's a repeating pattern of 7 white notes interspersed with five black notes, and you have exactly one note per location and one location per note.

Guitar fretboard is more complicated because there's no obvious repeating pattern if you're a beginner, a single note can be found at multiple locations, and a single location can represent multiple notes if you start to bend the string. Because of that, a guitar fretboard is much harder to learn than a keyboard, but it also makes transposition (changing the key of a tune from one note to another) much easier on a guitar than on a keyboard.

It's not that I like Firefox so much as that all the competition is unusable.

I'm inching closer to using the Duck browser full-time. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot to see if it works for you.

It's not as customizable as Chrome or Firefox, but it gets the job done if you don't do a lot of heavy lifting with your browser.

Right now, I'm 60% Safari, 10% Firefox, and 30% Duck. And I use Firefox less and less lately.
There is a fruit in Iran called Narang which looks like an orange but is sour. It has tons of seeds. It might be the same thing as the Seville orange. It's great on fish.
