Well... no.

Some jurisdictions will have fair use exceptions for some scenarios. I don't think we can assume "most", "likely", or "irrespective of country/region", although it can feel like that if you happen to live in an area where such things are commonly allowed.
The human-mouse equivalent dose ratio/interspecies allometric scaling is a foundational topic in exploratory pharmacological studies. You can find information f.e. in "A simple practice guide for dose conversion between animals and human".
>Are there multiple acts of terrorism a week, caused by plain-clothes insurgents?

Gang shootings every day?

>Are pensioners lining up on Market Street every day, to try to sell strangers their fur coats and toasters and jewelry

No the pensioners couldn't afford to live there and moved out. You have immigrant people selling [stolen] toasters and shampoo on the street.

>Has life expectancy dropped by a decade or so?

Life expectancy is significantly shorter for a large segment of the population via overdose, because lawlessness pervades.

> Are the schools and universities open?

Yes I believe SF has reopened schools again, finally.

You have masses of people living on the street in tents. And rampant open air drug use and sale. Lawlessness. I suggest you re-evaluate what you are willing to tolerate.
Even in the absence of environmental costs, the fossil fuel system creates centralization and incentives toward dictatorship. It also requires a global fuel supply chain, which is inefficient and destructive compared to delivering e.g. solar panels once.
'It is not, as I found out rather embarrassingly, "en-you-eye"'

Don't worry, as someone whose vocabulary was extended through voracious reading, I have made several of those "fox passes" over the years... (with that being the most memorable!)
It definitely can be, yes.
Conservation of energy is not the fundamental law it is often presented as. It is derived from Noether's theorem as applied to descriptions of the universe. Locally, it is true that energy is conserved, however, IIRC, General Relativity already can break it at large scales, even before we consider the fact that GR is incomplete and the real theory may break it even harder.

It is possible and I would judge even likely that some other value is conserved; that conservation of energy can be broken doesn't mean all chaos is unleashed and the Patent Office should revoke their ban on perpetual motion machines. When it is finally worked out, we may even pick up our "energy" label and move it to this new quantity. Depends on a lot of details we don't currently know. But what we today call energy is not necessarily conserved at large scales.

Saying that the universe can't do X because it violates conservation of energy is a circular argument; the precise definition of "conservation of energy" used by physics today is derived from our belief that the universe can't do X, but we also know our beliefs are incomplete. Very good approximations. Don't quit your day job to build a perpetual motion machine. But we are not in a position yet to even claim that our description of the universe is complete and we know the exact thing being conserved.

I find that the numbers are really helpful when trying to find related items. Things that are topically connected sort together and can be filtered by common criteria.

I use SimpleNote a lot for JD content and put the category in the title of each note. I type a piece of the JD number in the search box and it instantly filters down to relevant notes. Sort by title sorts by topic.
> It would also be nice if our environment wouldn't be plastered with microplastics.

Does burning fossil fuels distribute microplastics?
We have a good idea where it comes from: It was created in the big bang, and as stars form (and explode, or form neutron stars and collide) they turn it into heavier elements. Over time there is less hydrogen, which is why the universe can’t be infinitely old. Since it’s only ~13.7B years old, the amount of hydrogen we see makes sense with our models.

It’s a much much bigger problem if the universe significantly older than we think it is… if we were to believe the Wikipedia article on this[0], we’d only expect stars to exist at all for about 100 trillion years, but given that the distribution of hydrogen availability is likely to follow an inverse exponential decay curve of some sort, we’d probably see much lower amounts of hydrogen much earlier than that.

I never buy the "for those not used to the language" argument. People are going to learn the language and then it won't be a mystery anymore. `x` is only clearer than `&1` if you don't want to get used to the syntax, but once you're used to it it becomes second nature and is much more concise in certain situations. I mostly only use it for things like `Enum.map(users, & &1.name)`. Basically I never use &2 (well, I probably have once of twice before, lol).
> .DS_Store files come from Apple's file systems containing a separate data and resource fork

No, that would be ._<filename> files (containing resource forks, when the corresponding file is stored on a volume with a FS not supporting them natively), which are much rarer these days given that resource forks are not really used anymore.

.DS_Store contains Finder metadata, as far as I know (non-default icon sorting or positioning, categories, tags etc.), and they occur on all volumes, including Mac native filesystems. Finder just hides them by default.
I think the main error of the author is to assume that short content equals low quality content. There's value in conciseness.
That's not what's going on. Things didn't start going downhill until the bill hospital outfit in our state started buying everything up. Now that they own all the doctors offices, immediate meds, and hospitals, they've started shutting down anything they feel is redundant. This has caused medical professionals to leave the area as the increased competition for jobs has driven wages down and, more importantly, work hours up. All in all, everything has gone to crap. There are few facilities left in the area and the ones that are near by have TERRIBLE reviews as the constant turnover has taken it's tole on the practices.

Congratulations Zeno! What an awesome launch, really excited for you and the team at Resend.

That doesn't really follow. We know that the planet will warm from CO2 because of the physics of it. We spend gazillions modeling the climate. The scientists will tell you that the models have been very accurate (other will say otherwise, but...)

Those same models can be used to test various geo-engineering efforts. And should have similar accuracy.

Whether we should pursue those efforts is a matter of policy. But, rationally, we should definitely consider it.

Personally, I think that a small-ish (and growing) CO2 tax combined with a realistic effort to invest in nuclear will be enough to save us from really bad results. But plenty of people push back on those two things (from each "side"). So, here we are.
Not true. I aimed a mirror in the sunlight toward the azimuth once back when I did science research instead of just write code that pretends to be scientific
Hah. VIM has had both soft and hard wrapping since forever and they're visually distinguished by the line numbers and line continuation marks in the gutter. I find it extremely useful, as I don't want to write overlong lines for commits &c, but do want to soft-wrap existing long lines where they are found.
We have satellites that can track CO2 concentrations in the air[0], allegedly at high resolution. If you spread out weathering rock to, I dunno, a square a few kilometers to a side, a gradient in CO2 might be measurable? If you're objective is much more quantitative than that, it probably is a non starter. Unless you were maybe flowing air actively over a controlled system and could take measurements at the input and output grating. But that seems a bit much.

ONNX doesn't support the same level of quantization as GGML.

Wait until you find out where CA certificates come from. The answer is: E-Mail and a public salesforce instance.
To me the obvious rebuttal is what about the things that aren't obvious? The unknown unknowns that nobody knows to test for beforehand?

Our usual approach of "well we can't think of any reasons why it could go wrong, and we have to do something, so let's ship it and see what happens" is a little scary when it comes to something you might not get any do overs for.

I think it would be very much like us to wipe ourselves out this way though. And probably be proud of it at the same time.
That's not my point, and I was explicit about this in my original comment! My point is that sensory input to an autonomous driving system is not the difficult part to solve! Just take a quick look at some of my other comments so I don't have to repeat myself.
As a web developer unfamiliar with the hardware stack, I was surprised by this part...

> A good programmer familiar with the target OS and inner workings of PCIe could deliver a working prototype within a week, production ready within less than a year.

Could you please explain why it'd be normal to take a year to go from prototype to production in this case? What would happen in that one year, starting from a working prototype?
Interestingly, the author addressed this sort of thing a few times in the article.
What repercussions do you imagine for someone you wouldn't think is high status?
When Coinbase did its S-1 it said that it was trading digital assets - not securities and not unregistered securities. It did say that those assets may be considered securities under future regulatory inspection.

The SEC doesn't rule on things. They make rules (not laws), but they don't decide those things. That is the domain of the judicial branch - not the SEC.

The SEC can say "I consider X to be a security" but it's the judges that apply those rules and decide if the proper regulations are followed.

You will note that its a judge demanding that the SEC respond to Coinbase (U.S. Court Tells SEC to Respond to Coinbase's Rulemaking Petition Within a Week - https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/06/07/us-court-tells-se... ).

The SEC, as part of the legislative branch makes the rules to follow under its creation as part of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. It can bring things to be enforced or decided to the judicial branch - it isn't the judge or jury.

It would be improper for the SEC to make claims that haven't been decided by judicial branch. The SEC can say "we consider digital assets that can gain value by actions of others to be securities" but its consider - saying "yes, ETH is a security" is something for a judge to decide, not the SEC. The way that is done is for the SEC to take a company that is trading what it considers to be an unregistered security to retail customers to court.

There's a scene in the Cryptonomicon, where Goto Dengo's (a lieutenant in the Japanese Imperial Army in WWII) convoy is sunk by a US air attack. This involves a new weapon, which also requires a crucial change in tactics – and he knows that the Imperial Army has lost the war: this is not how the Americans are supposed to attack, how could this happen? Notably, this requires that several high ranking figures observe, comprehend and admit that their tactics are ineffective, that they are wrong – and invent and implement something new and adjust their tactics, instead, involving the entire chain of command. This shouldn't happen. They must have all killed themselves. No warrior of principles would admit to such a fault, commit to the shame, and change tactics in the midst of the war…

Well, they wouldn't be that far off...
Over a decade ago I was predicting that cohesive GHG mitigation agreements would stall because there is far too many groups and people in power who feel we can geo-engineer our way out of rising temperatures.

As an Australian, we probably have more caution in this area with most due to the massive ecological damage we've caused trying to engineer our way through pest control.

Geo-engineering should always be an ultimate last resort when nothing else is available, not a casual option to use at will.
Physics is not anthropocentric. The mass of an electron or the speed of light do not depend on the species measuring it.

While it is possible that life might exist in more than 3 dimensions and be able to protrude into our spacetime (at least, there isn’t anything prohibiting it), I can only imagine such intrusions would be much weirder than the average UAP.

Furthermore, we are venturing so far into speculative territory that I’m not sure we are doing any scientific investigation anymore.
Not quite. Bullies can be weeded out in a number of ways that don't take aggression in the form of fighting. Don't Inuit do it by simply withdrawing group support and the bully starves?

Often individuals can't survive on their own, so if they become ostracized by the group they die off, either starve, get picked off by wild animals, etc....

So the behavior that remains viable is to be aggressive to external groups, but better not alienate the in-group.

Has FSD Beta 11.4.3 Conquered Downtown Ann Arbor?
I know the HN crowd is, to put it mildly, not convinced by Tesla's FSD.

IMHO, there's a lot of valid criticism about it.

First the misleading name, it's obviously not fully self-driving... yet.

Some people also seem to be persuaded that Tesla's making an error using vision only (even if the latest Hardware 4 has some kind of radar, it doesn't seem to be used for now) and they might be right.

Anyhow, after seeing this video (and following Dirty Tesla's channel for 2 years) I kinda think FSD is on the right path (pun intended). I mean, 40 mins of relatively complex situations without any interventions from the driver, that's good, right?

People who think FSD is horribly bad, can you point me to a video of any other self-driving car doing better than this?
I don't know is this is a new policy, or the reviewer simply paid closer attention to this app?

Or, when this Nostr client first came out it simply did not include a bitcoin/lightning/zap functionality, and therefore it wasn't stopped in the vetting process.

In any case: anyone who wants to set up a new social media platform will have to do so in the form of a website or WASM native web app, and not in an App Store hosted app.

This could be a big problem for some other platforms that I saw on HN today, like [NON.IO](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36296695) and [ZSync](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36301337) because they also filter the quality of posts by counting non-free upvotes.
He's talking about the good researchers, I think. They're looking at dangerous viruses.
Commercial construction specifications are done in this way as well. So all electrical specifications are in division 16000 (or 26000 nowadays) and subdivided from there.

This method of only being two levels deep is interesting. If it works, that's great, but there's nothing to stop you from going three if required, e.g. 10.20.30. But keeping everything constrained has value in itself, if only in that it forces you to think in larger discreet chunks.
are you specifically referring to pinball ? Or any arcade games that you see in fair ?
Geoengineering doesn't solve all the consequences but it solves some. I've done some analysis of the problem of building a factory that builds a factory that turns something like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/253_Mathilde

into solar sails that navigate on their own power to the Earth-Sun L1 point. (Part of the problem is how do you build chemical factories that work in space, part of it is like building a ship in a bottle except you are in the bottle.) Such a scheme has few off-target effects on Earth because very little is done on Earth. It sure cools the planet but it does nothing to stop ocean acidification.

People in places like Saudi Arabia that are rich with both sulfur and oil might find it to be a convenient way to preserve the status quo, but many people who are interested in geoengineering also want to see decarbonization.

Funny in my research project I found that the chemistry it takes to make plastic out of the "coal", carbonates and volatiles that exist on asteroids is very similar to the chemistry to make jet fuel out of atmospheric CO2 and of course carbon is so precious on an asteroid that however you produce iron (abundant enough to use on CC and stony asteroids and the moon despite what you read in sci-fi novels) you are going to recycle whatever volatiles you use to reduce iron be that CO or H2.

Words can hurt, but that does not mean the formulation of the words is the transgression. Words only hurt when they speak to truth and what underlies a truth that hurts is where you find the transgression. It is your choice whether or not you choose to help work towards ending the transgression. Going about your day pretending something doesn't exist doesn't accomplish anything.

If you need to subscribe to that model to hide from yourself from the fact that you don't actually care, it is your life to live, but it is not a model that works beyond one's self. The disingenuity is out there for everyone else.

Having worked with a few of them, currently with SendGrid I think the market is ripe for disruption. It’s a terrible, terrible, experience to work with these systems when you need e-mail visibility to play into a larger setup. We’re doing simple stuff, like giving our sales personal an information stream to track that links into their HubSpot and a few other systems, and it’s frankly so bad that one of our developers wrote as much of the business logic as was possible outside of SendGrid. I’m sure it works well for the IT services part of our operations, but for development and automation purposes when you need to put some gaffatape on all those 300 systems that your business bought. Then it’s not very good.

As far as being YC funded, well, that’s the purpose of HN isn’t it? I’m not personally convinced that you can’t maintain a good product after you getting acquired. I haven’t used these services enough to say, but maybe they fit into the market of their time, and has then failed to innovate or keep “great” in the decades that followed? If you ask our IT operations they will tell you that SendGrid is great.
Think it is a matter of the sliding scale of what we are calling aggression. There are less wars and killing now, there is a clear downward trend in the historical record.

It’s not that straightforward to ignore files in git without adding them to a local .gitignore, though.

Global .gitignore exists, but I just had to look it up again to refresh my memory – chances are, junior devs or hobby developers will never even consider it as an option.

That said, arguably ignoring .DS_Storage should be the default on macOS builds of git.

1. Not sure what you mean? "is irrelevant to OPs problem" -> op advises to not use conda as a solution for Python packaging

2. This is easier than what you propose, because conda will install the python version for the env on the fly (including the patch version):

conda create -n myproject python=3.9.4
conda activate myproject
