> , but it also feels like it's being pumped way too hard as curing basically everything with little discussion of the side effects

In every HN drug discussion someone always pops up with some claim like this "curing basically everything" and then when askeded to justify it, they go quiet. Informative discussion this isn't, it resembles an anti-drugs agenda being pushed (which in my mind is just as stupid as a pro-drugs agenda).

So, can you justify this? Perhaps you can point out 3 comments below which claims they cure everything.
I'd challenge this assumption. ChatGPT is supposed to convey information and answer questions in a manner that is intelligible to humans. It doesn't mean it should write indistinguishably from humans. It has a certain manner of prose that (to me) is distinctive and, for lack of a better descriptor, silkier, more anodyne, than most human writing. It should only attempt a distinct style if prompted to.

Completely agree. The point is, who will be creating new communities on reddit after all this?

> the people who left Reddit (...) were not content creators themselves

Like I said, it is an assumption. If the content creators are not leaving (or at least looking for alternatives) then I'm really sorry for them and their audience.

If "social contacts made through your membership in the family" are covered by non-disclosure/non-solicitation, conceivably an ex-employee could be liable for damages?

I agree that "withholding pay" is not the answer here, but if it went to court it might net out in the end.
EMF becomes a fungible energy medium. Imagine storing energy in a field, just as we do with MRI machines, momentarily in the poles of motor windings, essentially anything inductive, or that operates as an electromagnet. Apart from dielectric losses and other environmental factors that are inescapable, the magnetic field becomes elastic like air [in] a balloon. The potential for this to modify energy consumption patterns is mind-boggling.

Interesting, what's a good source on that?
The climate is an extremely complicated system. The first order effect of AMOC collapse might be cooler European summers, but eventual build-up of ice could effect atmospheric systems leading to hotter summers.

Of course, more or less comfortable summers might not matter much with half of Europe starving to death from crop failure.

In a way I found they do, the highest pay companies tend to require in office for most of their employees (FAANG for instance). Some get full remote, but its largely pushed that they come into the office at least a few days a week.
Yeah, everything that's been predicted for decades is happening but it could just be a total coincidence.

And if it isn't I'm sure they'll just magically figure out economically viable fusion or spray some aerosols into the atmosphere or somehow just magically fix everything.

I'm sure everything will be fine. That's why I'm not having kids.

The Prophecies of AARON (2022)
Good. The Bolt is a great form factor. We need to stop this never-ending race to get the biggest and heaviest cars for no reason in the US. We already have people driving trucks around lifted beyond belief with beds that never get used. The excess weight and size not only makes them harder to control but also much more dangerous when they collide with people or other cars and more damaging to our roads leading to more need for constant construction and bad effects on our climate due to the pollution created to maintain roads.

Nuanced thought is to be commended. As a moderate conservative, I am not opposed to nationalizing the rails. Certain shared infrastructure is impractical when privately owned, primarily when (as parent points out) private ownership creates misaligned incentives.

As a fiscal conservative, my views are that we should reduce government waste. As long as Amtrak continues to be worthless, the money we spend on it is wasted. When unprofitable rail lines are torn out, the money we spent building those rail lines may have been wasted. If we genuinely want eco-friendly transportation, one option to explore is to centralize our rail infrastructure with the goal of it becoming useful to all.

I don't know if it is the best option, but I think we should explore it and see what the benefits would be.

> they ignore all of the benefits of doing v6 and only look at the costs _and_ ignore all of the costs of staying exclusively v4.

Nobody is ignoring all costs. People are just mostly interested about costs incurred by themselves only. This can and often does yield globally suboptimal outcomes. Not sure what exactly the game-theoretical term for this is.

> Facebook say they see 10-15% faster page loads[1]

This is quite surprising! Is there any explanation for this observed behavior? Are there saturated v4 paths that have a less congested v6 alternative? Are CG-NATs adding that much latency?

> If you don't have v6, you have to do everything on v4. In practice that inevitably means dealing with RFC1918 and NAT, which means dealing with split DNS, VPNs, RFC1918 clashes and cross-NATing, and all the other problems which come with all that. That costs engineer time and therefore money.

I think you're thinking about the eyeball ISP side here; I was mostly talking about the data center/cloud side of things, where the situation is quite different: As long as there is a non-negligible customer IPv4-only user base, you need to be dual-stack, which will always cost more in terms of management than IPv4 or IPv6 only.

For eyeball ISPs, as I've mentioned in my post above, the economics can indeed be different: If they're IPv4-contrained, they'll probably need NAT anyway, and 464XLAT can make that significantly easier than doing IPv6-only CG-NAT, while also providing native IPv6 connectivity.

Put together, this yields the following game-theoretical situation:

- On the eyeball side, you need IPv4 (either natively or increasingly commonly via some version of CG-NAT) for IPv4-only services. You can add IPv6 for more efficient connections to dual-stack servers, and many eyeball ISPs already do. 464XLAT or DS-Lite make CG-NAT more scalable (some ISP networks are too large to fit into a private /8 network!).

- On the server/hosting side, you need IPv4 (for IPv4-only eyeballs), and only IPv4 (since there are practically no IPv6-only eyeballs). You can add IPv6 for a bit more performance, but you need to be dual-stack capable, for the IPv4-only eyeballs which you can't afford to lose.

The result is: The largest players support IPv6, yet we might well be stuck with a long tail of IPv4-only properties for the next decade or more.
High growth companies had a hiccup certainly, but there are still more open positions than there are candidates.
It was possible in some of the SimCity's IIRC, where you build a network of subways instead of roads.
> Question for the community: how does one navigate such uncertainty?

Not climate scientist, but researcher in ML (another highly hyped and arguably more noisy field).

After Bourbon, the hard truth is expertise + don't.

Unfortunately journals/conferences/venues are an extremely noisy mechanism which in general aren't realistically much better than arxiv (at least over here). Peer review isn't journals/conferences, it is peers reading and evaluating the works. Reviewers are doing a service and often not giving a work significant time as they got other stuff to do. The only real way to know if a paper is valid or not is to be an expert in the subject matter (more focused than the field) and to read it __and the code__. All too often it is a nuanced point that is the crux of a paper, and would be entirely missed if you're not deep in that subcommunity. I know this answer sucks, but that's what it is.

Fwiw, I wouldn't realistically change your strategy as a layman. It's probably the best you got. Maybe only thing is don't think "journal publication == 100% true" but rather "journal publication == probably right." The process is noisy and there's no way around this.
> I don't use stackexchange and I am a little bewildered why people are accusing me of being condescending.

Because you're propagating the idea that you (or anyone asking questions) knows better what a person asking needs than the person asking does. Telling people you know what they need better than they do is pretty close to the definition of condescending.

People are emotional because nearly everyone who asks a question on the internet has to deal with people telling them "You don't actually want an answer to your question, you want an answer to this other question." By boosting the signal of the horrible XY problem idea, you're contributing to that problem.

I'm not saying this kind of miscommunication never happens, but the opposite is actually far more common.
Stampede3: A Smaller HPC System That Will Get More Work Done – The Next Platform
Seems like a blurry line between "reason" and "guessing."

Kind of like how an educated guess by a professional is often more accurate than a well reasoned opinion of a layman.

The professional may not have reasoned it so much as intuited, but within that intuition is a lot of wisdom.

I suppose "predicting" is a more precise word than guessing or reasoning.

Guessing implies an arbitrary nature, reasoning implies understanding the concepts at some level.

They aren't standard by any means.
I believe MRIs use superconductivity, so I assume any application of superconductors that doesn't require heavy, large, energy-consuming cooling will benefit greatly.

Perhaps MRIs will become ubiquitous and cheap, something we all get every time we go to the doctor?

Superconduction also has some weird magnetic properties I believe, so there could be benefits regarding maglev transport.

And finally and most basically, the movement of electrical energy across potentially large distances with zero loss would be a great thing.
But will the quality change if you use just random numbers? I think no.

Went through two bouts of long covid so far.

https://jondouglas.dev/long-covid/

In the vein of "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", I've come to appreciate life more through illness and suffering. I've also had challenges battling the three horsemen of boredom, loneliness, and helplessness like you would at any nursing home. But I have to say, the way the world has handled this issue was especially discouraging early on.

The medical system felt especially useless (and still feels that way), but it does seem that help is on the way and there's many treatments and funding in the pipeline for the next few years.

Also this is getting plenty of media attention and research is published almost everyday to convince those who think long covid is "all in your head" / psychosomatic.

I will live every day for the rest of my existence with deep empathy to those with unknown/invisible illnesses. For when people treated me like I was "fine" when I told them I was very sick, I felt just like Ivan Ilyich until he met Gerasim. I think we need more Gerasim type people in our lives who can see people suffering and help out knowing that someone will help them when it's their turn.

I think if you read the full IPCC report you will see they are far from dramatic. Often news articles on the reports include calls to action (which I am all for given the path we are on). I believe the IPCC may also issue a statement about the report as a whole on release. However, if you read subsections of the full report you will see each domain specialist assign low medium or high confidence to each potential climate outcome. They also include useful descriptions of the physical mechanisms behind many climate phenomenon

How to Bypass Cloudflare in 2023
Yes. So my parents told me about this. But in the past, I paid for COBRA. Huge mistake. This time (as part of the layoffs at the beginning of the year that many engineers faced), my mom told me that Medicaid is freely available, and I'd be stupid to pay for COBRA. She's very conservative and one of those 'look at all these people taking advantage of government program types', so I thought she was making it up at first.

However, I looked it up, and she was right. Plugged in my numbers into healthcae.gov, and I got a call from medicaid the next day. Even though I had made the equivalent of >240k per-annum based just on my January income (was laid off in Jan), I qualified for medicaid for my kids immediately (my wife and I would have qualified in a few months in my state due to how they count income, but in the meantime, qualified for a heavily subsidized rate). Medicaid in my state takes income by the week, so since I made no money in the week, my income was considered zero, so my kids got free medical. Some time later we found out my wife is pregnant, so she was also covered by medicaid.

A few things. Firstly, I explicitly called out to the medicaid guy how much money I was expecting to make (almost 300k), as well as how much savings I had. He told me it didn't matter since I made zero in the past week, and medicaid is by the week. Secondly, I explicitly asked, since I expected to make a shit ton of money this year, if I had to pay it back. He said no. Even if I were to make a million dollars this year or a billion, I would never owe anything for those months we were on medicaid.

Of course, I also qualified for unemployment, but that income put us below the medicaid threshold.

Medicaid was better than our private insurance (which was itself a posh PPO plan). I know this because my youngest daughter ended up in the hospital twice and needed an ambulance ride. The november ride cost us more than a thousand. The medicaid ride was free. All things considered, especially given my new job, we saved a good amount of money being laid off.

At the end of it all, I got a new job in April and the new insurance kicked in in May. It was actually hard to get off medicaid since they didn't really have a way to do that (I guess it's not 'intended' for those making a lot of money with periods of unemployment). We had to struggle to explain to the state we didn't need their money anymore and were insured. They insisted on keeping us insured anyway. I was okay with this but my wife thought we shouldn't squander state funds, so she called regularly and finally got through to someone who would cancel it for us (I had already sent in my income change notification forms, but whatever system they had in place didn't remove me).

I've made YBCO superconductors in my garage many times and the solid state synthesis method in the paper is very similar to that used by hobbyists. In fact, it seems to not require the usual careful slow annealing under flowing oxygen.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if even simpler methods are feasible.

For instance, there's a rapid synthesis method for YBCO that uses a small alumina boat, some glass wool, a residential 800w microwave oven, and slightly modified mixture of precursors to allow free oxygen to be liberated in the mixture during heating and trapped in the wool around the sample so you don't need to rig an oxygen concentrator up. IIRC it only takes about 15 minutes to prepare a sample.

This is extremely exciting! I've read hundreds of papers on superconductor manufacture and testing over the years and this has all the hallmarks of legitimacy, at least from my citizen-mad-scientist perspective.
TA is unlikely to produce alpha when used on its own, but it's certainly possible. However, combining TA with other indicators such as macroeconomic data, VIX futures curve, and tracking interest rates and Fed actions can lead to a consistently profitable model, as long as overfitting is kept in check and slippage is properly accounted for. It's much easier said than done.

It took us years of 80 hour weeks to become consistently profitable at Grizzly Bulls, but the result is quite satisfying. Our top model, https://grizzlybulls.com/models/vix-ta-macro-mp-extreme, has produced +17.92% returns since launch in January 2022, vs. -4.15% for the S&P 500 over that same time period. TA plays a role in timing swing trades / hedges once other indicators align.
