Innovation is the key factor of economic growth in industrialized economies. Innovation produces wealth , which in turn produces innovation sort of cycle. Light has in sorts been dematerialized, i.e we get more output per raw material of input (think of coal in a furnace vs. LEDs powered by a modern grid)
This looks amazing.

* I started poking around the docs and I'm most excited about a Ray backend runner. I'm hoping this allows more ergonomic distributed data frame computation on an existing Ray cluster.

* Is this based on Apache Arrow? I would assume so, but it's important that it be zero-copy from other tools. Would like to see this mentioned prominently somewhere.

* I really like the Polars expression API. I haven't dug into the docs enough to know how it relates. I do see a reference to pinning the embedded Polars version, so fingers crossed there's compatibility. It would be AMAZING to be able to take Polars code and run it in a distributed cluster with minimal changes. Can anyone chime in?
Exposure to tobacco consumption drives tobacco consumption:

-Children of tobacco users are more likely to be tobacco users (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5084564/)

-People who watch TV/movies with characters who use tobacco are more likely to be tobacco users (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2770193/)

-People who are friends with tobacco users are more likely to be tobacco users (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3691293/)

-People who see tobacco use on social media are more likely to be tobacco users and, critically, have an increased susceptibility to tobacco even if they are non-users (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35816331/)

The reality is that tobacco use disorder is a socially transmitted disease, and one of the best ways to prevent it's spread is to protect people from viewing tobacco use. By making it so that you have to opt-in to seeing posts about tobacco on their platform, Reddit is helping people avoid tobacco-related content.
Reading comments like this is so surreal. Millions of very normal, well-adjusted people around the world feel that God speaks to them. Have you literally never interacted with a religious person before, or are you just an idiot?

My mother donates 10% of her income and volunteers at homeless shelters because she feels that God wants her to. Other than that she lives like pretty much everyone else. Oh no, so terrible! Someone get this woman into the asylum!
Is Reddit offline today?
Even by 2017 we'd seen plenty of scams and failures. My intro to crypto watching was the late progress and collapse of the Trendon Shavers Ponzi scheme in 2011/2012, followed by the collapse of MtGox in 2014. Heady days; current crypto collapses lack the same sense of drama. It's all a bit repetitive now.

HackerNews was weirdly credulous about this stuff for a weirdly long time, but it does seem to have shifted in the last few years.
You are lucky. I’ve personally had a lot of failures. I like that they don’t make heat and are brighter. (And I also like how they can be packed more densely on dedicated lighting circuits than traditional fixtures), but they are definitely prone to early failures.
On iOS for passwords, this is a systemwide system that allows any app to register as a password provider and any password field to receive those passwords via the system keyboard.

I would assume that the system passkey interface will handle the receiving app, and the sharing app will register with the system (NOT with the browser or app, although this doesn't preclude doing that as well) to vend passkeys.
Eh that’s one of the few words I do want to be warned about
A competitor, no.

A similar link aggregator and discussion platform, yes.

Reddit is far too large for anyone to build a competitor from scratch, nobody (unless they're a major player that doesn't mind sinking exorbitant costs into hosting) will be able to afford hosting discussions for the number of accounts that reddit has. The best we can hope for as users is that various communities from reddit migrate to some of the open-source options that already exist (lemmy seems to get the most mindshare at the moment) but hopefully the one I work on, brutalinks, also.

In my opinion offloading individual communities to their own instance that hosts content for hundreds to (maybe)thousands of users is the way to go for hobbyist level platforms.
Interesting. I've heard other reports of the hinge wobbling. I wonder if there was a production issue with the material or geometry or something.

Found this random video on youtube. You can see it wobbling at 15 seconds, though mine was more accentuated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opmb6jbeBY4

The last couple of weeks we were mainly focused on transition between the private and public beta, so that the development of new integrations had to be paused for a bit. For the coming weeks we have the next 9 integrations planned as well as external DB connectors to various sources. We’ll definitely consider your input and see which integrations are requested most.

"Navy pilots are on record"

PSYops. What about being a "navy pilot" validates these claims? That's like saying "Police officers have come out on record to say that bad buys have lazer guns". Of course they would say that, they want everyone to think THEY have big lazer guns too!

like any other piece of the military, Pilots are only allowed to disseminate what the current strategy-focus tells them to disseminate.
> The trajectory of ML appears to point towards massive transfer of wealth to capital owners and impoverishment of the working classes.

That’s the natural end of capitalism, as has been noted literally since the word “capitalism” waa coined for it (largely, for that reason.)

It is end to which every tool and technology is put under that system, and has nothing to do with the particular technology and everything to do with the system.

I am interested in this discussion, I would have described 'bro' as a culture some people self select in to, i.e. choose to be a 'bro'. I think it is very different than, for example, an expression like 'y'all' which comes from a regional culture. Do you disagree?
> like power consumption used by bitcoin which is solved with newer tech

To be clear, that is absolutely not solved for Bitcoin, which still wastes energy at a disgusting rate. Some crypto things have shifted to non-proof-of-work approaches, usually proof of stake, but Bitcoin is still pumping out more CO2 than many countries.
Naive question: don't need a precise initial location to tell subsequent locations using an accelerometer? This doesn't fully obviate GPS then?
I don’t know, you say that but there are plenty of triple A games in the App Store and Apple did put in the effort into getting their game subscription to work on their desktops.

Let’s be real, we might all be getting more work done as a result but that’s because Apple dropped the ball, hard. They came out with the metal api but refused to support any others, even letting open GL fester. The fact that they couldn’t keep Blizzard of all companies developing games for the mac is all you need to know.
For a large number of customers, Macs play games just fine (you can get SimCity 4 for Silicon, heh).

It's not the top of the line, but it covers a decent swath, even without doing emulation or translation.
The trouble with describing PoW as "wasting energy" is that it's relative. There's only a sliver of the Sun's light that reaches the orbital plane, and the rest is wasted blasting off in other directions. Then there's all those trillions of stars in galaxies far far away wasting their hydrogen.

Waste as a rationale depends on the assumption that the Earth's atmosphere heats up as a result of any excess power generation beyond equilibrium solar radiation, and so there is a limited power budget available to humanity for "useful" work.

Asking the question of whether someone finds it acceptable for PoW to be performed in space or on the Moon is a useful way to discuss crypto when someone just wants to make the climate change argument because it separates the concerns.
Not the last few!
That's neat and impressive, but that's all they have. They don't have a high end. For $3000 you can get a top end gaming PC. There's no amount of money you can spend on a Mac to equal that.

I think you're missing the point that parent (and Siracusa) made - Apple invests a signficant into the software and graphics stack, only to fumble it at the last minute by not having high-end graphics hardware, and caring enough to court "triple A" game developers to their platforms, despite them creating and maintaining Metal and this 20k-line WINE patch.

There's this weird mismatch of Apple dedicating a non-trival amount of time in their keynote to "Mac Gaming" as if it's supposed to be impressive to finally play a 4 year old game on a Mac because they don't ship high-end graphics devices.
Do you find this is a good solution for playing Steam games?

I have an older PC, and I'm thinking about replacing it with a macbook air and a steam deck. Does the steam deck feel more limiting than just having a windows PC with steam?

Show HN: Learn multiplication with goofy AI-generated stories
Story Multiplier makes it fun to learn the times table by generating kid-friendly short stories about each multiplication fact using parameters chosen by the student.

The stories are generated via the OpenAI API using character parameters entered by the user and child-friendly prompting.

This is a side project inspired by my kids' love of customized stories generated by ChatGPT using silly made-up characters. My seven-year-old is always asking to practice his multiplication tables using this app.
Well you discount the most important thing in the first line. 'Cutting-edge' is a funny way of saying 'most effective', as if it were somehow irrelevant.

I didn't say most evidence is from phase III RCTs, particularly if you include everything that happens in oncology as the denominator, only that meta-analyses were not that relevant. Most of the critical patient facing interventions have the backing of good quality trials, at least where it is reasonable and possible to do a trial. Also one of your citations is seemingly casting doubt on the value of meta-analyses in oncology, so somewhat confused about your point.

That paragraph from NCCN is quite interesting. It is describing medicine in general really, and belies the fact that oncology has probably one of the strongest evidence base across all medical fields. Take for example how many stents cardiologists have inserted long after contradictory evidence was available, or how many pointless back operations have been done, or how many people have sat through fruitless psychoanalysis.
Here ya go!

Oops fat fingers - s/intertidal/inertial
First you need an incredible amount of energy to get even a modest mass out of the earth's gravity well. Then you you need a truly fantastic amount of energy to get it up to a fraction of the speed of light. Then you need an equally fantastic amount of energy to slow it down again at it's destination. Then you run into time dilation effects, which diminish the usefulness to the sender of any information they are going to get back (due to the delay).

Let's try one particular USA-specific culture, translated using the well known and currently popular family-friendly AI:

Feels like someone started up the same government UFO psyop program that we had running during the cold war.

Maybe they're just trying to redirect all the Qanon crazies onto getting them chasing their tales looking for UFOs instead.
I have had a few interactions with "high level" or "big shot" executives in my life and it seems like their minds operate in a totally different universe. How Licht could not have felt the same way as Oliver about the whole situation is totally alien to me. At a much smaller and more petty scale my interaction with an executive was similar, in that he wanted me to add a feature to our shopping website, where if a user clicked the back button to leave, we would interrupt that with a popup trying to get them to stay.

I said that I would not do that as it is unethical and rude. And he looked at me like I was the alien. Like why would anyone think that or care?

If anyone reading this feels like I am an alien here, keep in mind Licht just got booted. The world cares, even if your sociopath CEO self doesn't.
This is a huge draw in PC gaming. People love going back to old games and modding them or updating them to run better. Heck, didn't Portal (a 2007 game) just get an RTX update?
That's interesting. I once wrote to a coffee company because online they were selling their big bags of beans at more per ounce than the small bags. The co-owner wrote back and explained that the smaller bags were in way more third party stores than the big bags so they had to delay the price increase on those (I think to give the store network more notice so one store wasn't undercutting another). Needless to say I ordered a bunch of cheaper smaller bags to stock up ahead of the price bump. Anyway no idea if that's what was going on at Fred Meyer but I suppose it's possible the lentil supply chain is equally complex.
Yeah, TV news gets less eyeballs when it’s not a Presidential election year.

Trump was a bigger bump and a bigger hangover, but it’s a known pattern.

Which is my real “big media conspiracy”, which is barely a conspiracy: it’s hard to imagine substantial electoral when TV news is so dependent on this election year gusher of money. Especially at the local TV news level.

Ask HN: Is Anyone Else Having Indexing Issues with Google Search Console?
Hi all - I'm having issues getting my site (http://twkids.app) Indexed onto Google Search Console. I've submitted my Sitemaps over a month ago & also have all the same URL's as Internal Links from my homepage. However, not a single one of my Sitemap URL's has been indexed. It just says "Discovered - but not currently Indexed" & status is "Started", but no other explanation.

The Google Crawler automatically indexes some pages but it's been quite slow. And the Inspect URL works, but it's very manual & there's a daily limit (I have around ~60k pages to index).

Is anyone else having Indexing Issues and know how I can resolve this? Any advice would be very helpful!
> That's like saying "Police officers have come out on record to say that bad buys have lazer guns".

Or, you know, the things police officers actually say about fentanyl and its magic properties.
huh? Are you saying it's culturally insensitive to disparage the use of "bro?" Seems unprofessional at the very least.
the other side of this is that once you have the faster instances, the pressure will be off to do anything to improve build efficiency, and everyone will add more to the build till it's 20 minutes again.

Getting build times down is a difficult project because it's a cross functional task.

Like everything where you're involving a bunch of teams with no free space on their roadmaps, you have to be able to demonstrate that your team has done everything it can, and now the pressure needs to fall on the other teams. Like have a wiki or presentation to show how you have already trimmed the tests as much as possible, and the codebase is as small as possible, and you're not making 100 unnecessary docker layers, etc.

Thats your ammunition in the fight to get something like resizing the build instances on the other team's roadmaps and out of their budget.
There aren't usually any on-screen crosshairs in VR games. You just use the crosshairs that are on the weapon, which is tracked through controllers. I expect there to be trackable controllers available for Vision too. It's also possible to use hand tracking, but that's not optimal.

I hike for days to get to parts of the wilderness that no one else is in. I do not go to nature to hear or see other people. Gp is spot on with that.

I'm a developer that recently discovered Seam (credit to a stack overflow thread). For my app Home Alerts, Seam is a bridge to device manufactures that do not offer a pubic API. The expensive alternative requires persistence through unanswered linkedIn msgs, cold calls, and the common "interested in integrating" web forms that seem to go nowhere. Even when achieving a direct manufacture affiliation, I'm then tasked with integrating with the their unique authorization-workflow and often clunky APIs.

Seam solves that problem. Utilizing Seam's existing partnerships and common APIs, I can add support for 20+ new devices within just a few days (vs months). My current customers include BnB hosts, and residential users seeking remote monitoring/control. We're making the push into the PMS market in Q4, which became achievable due to our new Seam partnership.

If anyone is interested in a demo of our current seam-powered integrations please reach out bwebb@homealerts.app
From my experience once setup it's pretty much "touch never aside from updates" type of deal. I had one stack based off influxdb for 5+ years, now changed the backend for victoriametrics (mostly because a lot of stuff supports prometheus-likes), and again, not much touching after setup.

But I did similar stuff for work so I already had the skills.
For the most part yes, but for market arbitrage, the milliseconds saved by communicating thru the planet might be worth figuring out how to oscillate an extremely large weight very rapidly.
There have been (though don't quote me on this) stories about how everything Khronos standardizes reeks of design-by-committee, to the detriment of the final standard.

An obvious example would be OpenGL, which nobody has called a well-designed API.

But there's other misfires as well. OpenCL hasn't exactly set the world on fire compared to CUDA. OpenVG was a standard for accelerating 2D Graphics that was a little too late to matter. OpenXR? Well, at least Oculus is actually using it. WebGL? The W3C is working on replacing it with the (far superior) WebGPU. WebCL? Well, that was a JavaScript system for OpenCL, and that was as bad of an idea as it sounds.

And of course, most recent example: Vulkan. Almost everyone who has actually used Metal has commented on how it is much, much easier to hit the ground running than Vulkan, because Vulkan requires mountains of boilerplate. (It's also worth remembering that every iOS Developer builds for Metal, so it isn't like there isn't knowledge out there about how to use it - it's just among mobile game developers instead of the AAA developers).
I'd be down to help with a decentralized Reddit with decentralized aggregation.

Each subreddit is hosted by someone. They manage the moderators, the rules, the users. This gets us away from the bottomless pit of moderation. They can write custom plugins to extend their subreddit in interesting ways. The level of effort and resources required to run a subreddit is minimal. This is made much easier to setup via a CLI to deploy to various cloud platforms, hosting providers provided by us. Think ~5 dollars a month in costs.

Decentralized aggregators allow searching these subreddits, aggregating their content to see trending, popular, worthwhile posts for discovery. This is decentralized in theory, but to start out, there's probably a single aggregator. The resources required is high, and curation also involves some human judgement. For example: denylist an entire subreddit, no adult content, etc.. Verifying authenticity of upvotes or whatever the heck is interesting too. This can be a for profit company. Is it going to be worth billions? Probably not, but it can be sustainable and provide a service.

Some affordance in the protocol to allow for users to cross subreddit boundaries so registration isn't required, etc. are all interesting to think about.

I'm sure mastodon, Bluesky, or another protocol has interesting ideas to steal that are applicable to a Reddit like experience vs. a full blown social network.
Alternatively, if you had access to an immense and unassailable technological advantage over everyone, wouldn't you want to leverage that? Wouldn't it be nice to tell our enemies "we don't care how many nukes you have, we can do whatever we want with impunity or else we'll use our alien tech to protect ourselves and destroy our enemies" or to tell our allies "stick with us we're gonna be rolling out a stream of inventions that will each dramatically increase our prosperity for decades to come"? You only keep your strength hidden if it could potentially be negated - i.e. that they could develop the same technology or an effective counter without having access to alien spacecraft.
Might be a better tactic to help people realize envying check marks and emoji isn't healthy.

I'm curious if the author realizes how much potential envy having access to the internet and a blog and the ability to read and write might produce in a real world caste system. To be producing content on the internet is participating in a caste system.

Ironic, that.
Cool idea but it wouldn’t have worked for what we were doing. The Python side definitely needed to be on the server because it was dealing with database connections, talking to other services, and doing heavy duty dataframe manipulation.
