Did you become more creative as you aged?

Yes and no. I used to be unhealthy. I became more creative when I started eating better and exercising. My theory is that getting healthier made my brain healthier. I can think faster and solve more complicated problems faster and in more creative ways than I could a decade ago. So in that regard I suppose age or time spent eating healthier was a factor.

Ask HN: What is going on with Apple Weather?
For the past month and a half or so (I think ever since the iOS/iPadOS update that broke the weather app), Apple Weather has forecasted rain in the daily forecast without fail and sometimes even in the hourly forecast. I have only experienced about 7 days of rain since then. (7/45 = 16% accuracy, that would rank it far below any other forecast provider: https://forecastadvisor.com/Texas/Houston/77061/)

I am located in the Texas area and been between Houston and Dallas and Fort Worth multiple times throughout the past month and Apple Weather has forecasted rain every day. I eventually had to switch to another weather app because Apple Weather was unusable.

This is not a post to just hate on Apple Weather, but at this point, I had thought that the issue would’ve been realized and fixed by now. What is going on and is Apple going to fix it?

What causes the additional CO2? If it is the batteries, a PHEV typically has 10% of the batteries yet is sufficient to provide for electric only use in over 90% of daily usage. If battery production is not sufficient to meet the demand for EVs, then PHEVs are a good solution until production can meet the demand.

China is now manufacturing EVs with sodium ion batteries instead of lithium ion. What is the difference between CO2 between lithium ion and sodium ion batteries?
I am not so sure. I had a stopover in Dubai recently. I was able to visit the city. I visited the Dubai mall, and I was struck by how undistinguishable it looked from a typical American mall. Nearly all brands were American. I was in a completely different part of the world, and expecting to experience something completely different, and I was sorely disappointed.

I think "sealed interface" with implementations used by "records" gets you pretty close though right? This is usually what I do, something like:

var tree = new Tree.Node(new Tree.Leaf(1), new Tree.Leaf(2));

This technique was new for me, thanks for posting! I will keep it in the back of my head.

I'm wondering, how fast is this in practice though, compared to the state of the art of general-purpose allocators? I'm sure it's faster, but it definitely warrants benchmarking, considering that some serious compromises are being made here:

* Object pool is fixed size, but presumably the size isn't known statically. So you need to oversize it, wasting memory

* Additional 16 bytes overhead per object, due to roster index + reverse roster index

* Not thread safe, and looks like there is no good way to make it so

* Tracking down use-after-free bugs or memory leaks become much more difficult. The article touches on this a bit
> You really don't think one of them could move to a post at Stanford or wherever and spill the tea?

When? There's a pretty short window where a WIV scientist might have known the subject they were studying had escaped the lab before the PRC did. Certainly by January 2020 the PRC could've clamped down on those scientists.

Spies caught outside the country don't tell me much about internal operations.

I talked about this with an architect friend, who also mentioned that at-scale humidification is difficult, expensive, and prone to molding. In thinking about air exchange, it seems like they would have to desiccate the outgoing air and shift the moisture to incoming air, which would have to be a challenge.

Your math is probably right, but a modern HDD has more than 2^19 data bits.

Assuming that your computed time is right, that means that there is a 50% probability that one bit of a HDD will flip after less than a week.

Most such bit errors will be corrected when a sector is read and the controller will rewrite a bad sector with a valid value, so the bit errors will not be cumulative in normal usage.

However when the data is stored for years without powering up the HDD, the bit flips will accumulate and they may pass the threshold needed to cause an non-correctable error.

While I do not remember to have ever seen non-correctable errors on the HDDs that I have been using daily, on identical HDDs that have been stored for years without being powered up I have frequently seen both cases when the drive reported non-correctable errors and cases when the drive reported no error but the file hashes used for error detection identified corrupted files.

The older HDDs with low data capacities had much longer lifetimes, but also the perception of those claiming that data has been stored OK on them may be wrong if they have not used any means to detect the corrupted files, because even if the HDD reports no errors, that is not good enough.
Wow that would be great! I recall reading that an effort some years ago to do a type system on top of Erlang failed because typechecking inter process communication got too messy (or slow). Personally, I feel like a type system that leaves message passing completely out of scope would solve so many problems already. And then people can invent typechecked GenServers and the likes in userland.

I mean when 2 NodeJS processes communicate via JSON over HTTP then those aren’t typechecked either, even if their codebases are all TypeScript. Except, of course, when using the same TS rpc lib on both sides of an interface, with some code sharing between them so they use the same types.

I feel like even when all typechecking happens only on regular static synchronous function calls, and message passing is left out of scope, it’ll be so extremely useful. And like you said, the low amounts of dynamic dispatch makes it tractable. Still a huge amount of work I bet though :-)
> Additionally, the closest relative to SARSCov2 that has been identified (RaTG13) was found in a cave in Mojiang county in Yunnan, over 1,000 km away, with no evidence that it was ever studied in the Wuhan lab.

Re: the on-site collaboration, I think it is a different scenario? A company wants to some a particular problem, wants their solution to be the winning one, and wants to be able to stand behind the specific promises that they make regarding it.

When picking an open source library from the internet, you can immediately apply a strong filter: select codes which already have an active community and ongoing development, they already do something like what they say on the tin. You only see projects that have won a couple times.

Open source communities also draw in people who have the specific problem that their project solves. The need to have meetings to get everyone aligned on what the actual objective is is reduced, they showed up because they have the problem.

The corporate project is, at best, trying to solve an internal company problem (so they can at least have meetings with the interested parties and maybe even dogfood a bit). Or, it might have some totally imaginary customers that sales and management think exist out there somewhere, so let’s get together and brainstorm about what they might need.

God, is this going to be what I see in my next python coding interview?
I do believe a hypothesis to be different than a belief. A belief performs a different function than a hypothesis.

A hypothesis can be defined as a “proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth” (Oxford Languages definition). Typically a function you perform to unearth a truth.

A belief on the other hand holds some position on the spectrum of truth. To believe is to make an assertion about truth. A hypothesis is somewhat of a precursor to that.

But hey, regardless of our stance on the definitions of these words, I heavily jive with the idea that we should improve our beliefs over time and I have mad respect for Aristotle.
> Why you should be in, around, under or on top of water

Easier said than done. I grew up close to a pretty cool coastline, and I've wanted to live there all my life. Regular people like me used to be common there decades ago, but it has been parasitized by millionaires and it's unaffordable these days. If you have a million or so in the bank sure, go enjoy the psychological benefits of such a place.

SFGate was originally the online version of the SF Chronicle, starting in the 90's. For whatever reason, they wanted a distinct online brand. Now the online version of the Chronicle is hosted at sfchronicle.com and SFGate continues on under the same ownership (Hearst) as its own clickbaity thing. Not much in the way of original reporting.
While these projects are cool it’s worth noting IKEA since released a Matter capable version in the last year. It is 3 times the cost though (US $50 it seems). Still quite cheap on the whole I think.
Well sort of. It's a depth-accurate warp, fed from the SLAM system. This is functionally equivalent to texturing a depth map with the cameras. It has to be this way because there's no other way to simulate having a camera in a different spot than it really is. If they were simple 2d warps, parallax, occlusion, and stereopsis would be all wrong, and you'd feel violently ill any time you moved your head. You can see the system break down if you bring your hand too close to the headset. You're certainly not getting raw passthrough images.

I'm not intimately familiar with the precise technical details of the Quest system, but I do know that real time photogrammetry even more sophisticated than depth maps can be achieved on mobile chipsets - google LSD-SLAM.
A lot of hacks already rely on visual/audio cues. An aimbot or audio-based wallhack doesn't need any input you don't want to give players.

Also, competitive games, especially shooters, are extremely sensitive to latency, so they are by their nature quite unfit for streaming. People who build PCs which render at 300 FPS to a 120Hz+ monitor for competitive play won't be happy to deal with even a quite optimistic 10ms additional roundtrip latency.
Physical access can generally circumvent any security precautions, but it seems like there are some fairly simple schemes that would work well to prevent a disturbed captain.

E.g.: disabling the tracking system could require accessing a section of the plane inaccessible while it's in flight. Combine that with a hardware interlock system that would prevent the plane from taking off when it's disabled, and that should be sufficient in the vast majority of cases to prevent 'lost' planes.

Is there ever a valid reason to disable the recorder/tracking systems in flight?

> > 2) People interested in blogging, who give up after less than a year due to lack of visibility (compared to Medium/Substack)

> You don’t think most people that post to the likes of Medium or Substack also give up quickly?

I think the parent meant "lack of visibility compared to Medium/Substack", not "give up after less than a year compared to [longer viability on] Medium/Substack". (If you, in turn, meant implicitly just to say "read Medium/Substack", then I think that fails on the "small, personal" criteria, and possibly also on "non-commercial".)
Article has interesting points but waters it down to almost no value with communist takeover conspiracies, the idea that Bitcoin can replace money with 7tps consuming the energy of a country, and a pointless tirade on "useless woke politics", which is, among another things, people resisting marginalization and oppression of trans people and women in the United States, which is very much actively happening at the moment and requires no hypothetical long term thinking.

The government isn't forcing machine learning models to turn into Disney characters right now, it's trying to punish Disney for the CEO's opinion that he's opposed to laws in Florida making it unlawful for teachers to discuss gay issues, and it's pretty extraordinary to be able to write something like this and use Disney as a reference and not even be aware of that, but I'm happy that the author doesn't feel concerned about what's going right now, perhaps because it doesn't personally affect him.

I invite the author to increase the diversity of viewpoints on his training model to avoid having narrow, ideological opinions heavily influenced by algorithms that are not very compatible with reality.

in which case, nobody who believes in (this) Singerian doctrine should reveal that they do so.

Especially as I have delved more into how LLMs actually function and are trained, a lot of the magic in e.g. ChatGPT has evaporated for me, but in a good way. The performance of larger models like GPT-3.5 or 4 is still consistently impressive, to me, but as I’ve increased my understanding I do believe that censorship poses a greater threat than the models themselves.
I've had posts on the front page of HN (#1 or #2). That generated about 20k visits.

* the period where it is on the front page is 6 hours (I don't know this, but I could if I could be bothered to go back and look; I don't have granularity down to the minute, though)

That is 20000 requests/(66060), which rounds to 1 request/second.

What the chaos at Twitter means for the future of social movements
Intense hardship creates mostly trauma. While highly traumatized individuals may have excellent strategies to cope with specific stresses, they also keep paying the price for it and walk around with the triggers and limitations of the unhealed trauma - which ultimately decrease their ability to face challenges in open, highly creative, sustainable ways.

About 4 or 5 years ago I was walking on the street and a person who had to have been in his 20s was listening to a song from Meteora. It's a great album, and I certainly listen to stuff from when I was young, or even before I was born. It just struck me.

Steve loved WebObjects. Trawl around YouTube and you can find some of his enthusiastic demos from the late NeXT era. In one, IIRC, he builds an entire web store from scratch in about 15 minutes.

But his message on returning to Apple was all about focus. Apple was not going to try to be a web middleware company, so they used the tech where they could benefit from it internally (and did so for a loooong time) and that was that.

Late ‘90s Steve didn’t only put bullets in the heads of technologies (Newton, OpenDoc) that he didn’t like.
