As far as HN's discussion goes, I'd say the community has been getting it right. The conversation has been curious and substantive, everyone knows it's probably not true, but most are not making shallow dismissals. There's a shared sense of waiting for the replications to succeed or fail, and in the meantime, discussion of the details as well as what the impact would be if it does turn out. Also driving interest is that the claims are said to be easy to replicate if true, so the answer is expected any time now. Imminence fuels anticipation—like waiting for election results.

The shallow dismissal reaction is taking for granted that it's not real and everyone's wrong to give it a chance. The thing is, almost everything is wrong—you can rely on this almost completely, and placing your bet on "wrong wrong wrong" achieves a high batting average—you'll be right almost all the time. The trouble is that your expected value will be zero, and you will be both bored and boring (I don't mean you personally—this is a common pattern and we all do it to some extent).

It's in the low-probability/high-impact quadrant that the interesting things reside, alongside crank material and dross, and it's not easy to tell them apart. That's natural. But one thing we can be sure of is that rejecting everything in that quadrant is a sure way to fail in the long run, and probably also to keep oneself in a bad mood.
Mass of particulates isn't the issue, it's what the particulate actually is. The author makes a brief comment about this but then goes on to wholly ignore the vastly varying impacts of different kinds of pollution.
Yeah, I stand by my original statement. This was not a meaningful 'add' to the conversation.

The sun has been the same brightness for human history. It doesn't make it more difficult than the problem we had 50 years ago.
> Ehrichman had a real grudge for doing jail time for Watergate.

That's an ad hominem and should be irrelevant to the argument.
Theoretically, repositioning one's coordinates in 3 dimensions over a limited span in a fourth dimension (time) is limited by c. Same goes for repositioning the 4-dimensional coordinates for the apparent quantom waveform collapse into physical manifestation of any distinct "object". Assuming that alien physics only applies to these 4 dimensions, unmodified, is pure hubris. Multiple theories accommodate space travel by adjusting coefficients other than velocity. A "warp bubble" or "wormhole", for example, theorize the ability to cover large distances faster than light moves through vacuum over that same distance by, instead, changing the distance between interstellar objects, or changing the effective space-time properties of the craft, itself, in it's localized spacetime becoming non-equivalent to that "light through a vacuum" course. Even quantum entanglement describes spooky action at a distance which you might assume impossible if you assume c limits this superposition in space-time.
This c limit obviously does not apply to "everything" in the universe.
It's fundamentally wrong to assume that interstellar travel requires any velocity whatsoever.
If you are driving close enough for drafting to have an effect, you are driving dangerously.
What is your argument? That focus on social media is actually a good thing and on par with whitewater rafting? Or are you just trying to take shots at GP?

Calling someone a “boomer” for having a different opinion is only slightly less useless and childish than calling them a “Karen”, especially when the reasoning boils down to “you dislike things I like, and my only argument against your opinion is actually a personal attack.”
The strongest opinion I came away with (having never heard of design thinking previously) is that this author is sunk so far in his own soup of smugness that he is largely unqualified to judge whether or not Design Thinking is a worthwhile idea/technique/movement.

Examples of points the author makes:

* Popularity is bad, because Jim Jones was popular and poisoned a bunch of people with Koolaid.

* d.school is a dumb name because it's not capitalized or punctuated the way the author would prefer

* Design Thinking is dumb because it uses terms like "empathy" when we already know we should be listening to our clients, so it's dumb to use words like "empathy"

* Design Thinking is dumb because there are some designers who don't like it

* Design Thinking is dumb because the author of the blog post found a cheesey image of post-it notes on Google Image search when he googled "Design Thinking"

* Design Thinking is dumb because when the author asked his friends if they use the term "Design Thinking" - most of them don't.

* Design Thinking is dumb because it's too aspirational.

* Design Thinking is dumb because someone used the technique to design an impractical water pump.

* Design Thinking is dumb because sometimes things that are designed well sell well, and that's marketing, not design.

After very confidently condemning Design Thinking for pages and pages worth of text on the above grounds, the author admits that he has no standing to do so, because:

> "Here’s my one caveat: it could be true that the DTs are a good way to teach design or business. I wouldn’t know. I am not a designer (or business school professor)."

Oh you don't say.

The author then goes on for another (approximately) 400 paragraphs to continue to criticize Design Thinking and its use in education.

The odd bit is that I actually broadly agree with the author. There's plenty of bullshit in design and architecture and business education, and silly nebulous concepts that get treated like world-changing ideas. There are plenty of people making money selling overpriced classes based on this bullshit. There are too many buzzwords. People heavily invested in them lose sight of the bigger picture, and think that if we only followed their creative framework, we'd solve world hunger, end poverty and usher in a brave new utopia.

I recently watched an effusive hour-long documentary on Bauhaus, and couldn't confidently at the end of it define: "what is Bauahus," and it was full of people making similar claims about a the world changing power of an architectural movement that originated in early 20th century Germany.

To some degree, all creative frameworks are bullshit. And to some degree, they can all be useful.

The author seems to have spent a lot of time and effort ranting against one particular framework. I hope they're OK.
Personally, I don’t like the inability to turn off the update mechanism, which is annoying on my macos 10.13 computer that has a warning bar every time I run the brave browser application. I suppose this means there is telemetry built in that can’t be removed

Thank you. I have been learning React lately (as a backend developer, I love it) and this will be helpful. I've considered using webpack or one of the competitors - there are so many that I've simply just avoided them until now.
A lot of people are leery about crypto and have read a FUD article or two about the browser and put it in the hate bucket. Next to none of the common complaints are modern missteps. One of the most common complaints was a bug that got fixed within a day of being reported, in a feature that Firefox is doing TODAY yet people aren't demanding Firefox devs' heads on a plate.

"requires" is correct. I use chase.com on my Linux computer all the time without any pop-ups or warnings that I'm using it on an unauthorized OS. I'm sure if I had some type of QA Issue they would then point out that they don't support Linux but I haven't had an issue yet.
Is everyone ignoring that “holdback” mechanism google is introducing with the idea? Where 5-10% of the traffic behaves as if it did not have attestation enabled, I would like to understand how that does not address the “web DRM” concerns but I can’t find an explanation anywhere
I can see the truth in what you say; but I have also found that increased ecological literacy has sapped much of the joy I used to feel in nature, because it comes mixed with grief.
> Thank god Wikipedia isn’t run like Stack Overflow.

Wikipedia isn't run like a business, but relies on charity. Wikipedia doesn't have to be profitable to exist so of course it isn't run like Stack Overflow, Wikipedia is backed by a foundation that gets plenty of donations. Maybe SO should adopt that model, but that's an entire different question.

If Wikipedia had to be profitable it would be a very different platform.

Both are crowdsourced (so are reddit, facebook and youtube), and the similarities stop there.
To be fair. Early startups don't know what will work. So investing into the future is pointless.

What does this mean? All computer interaction is potentially addictive.
Heat generally won't, in a modern ICE, that will capture a lot of the engine heat, though there are still electric and auxiliary heaters.
energy efficiency makes the same amount of power, go further. Look into reducing outdoor lighting, wasteful uses of electricity, and improving efficiency for heavy applications, you might find more than enough savings to handle dire, life-and-death situations.

That is a surprising revalation; that iptables filters traffic depending on Linux implementations details. One could imagine the outcry if firewall vendor X suffered a similar “feature”. Or is this well known for Linux iptable users?
Oh wow. Thank you again! That's great.
No one outside of America is rude.
Interesting. In colloquial (American?) English, "yo" is used to get someone's attention, or to you've heard someone asking if you're present.

E.g., "Yo! Doofenschmirtz! You're new inator has been delivered."

Or: "Is Phineas here?" "Yo!"

I first learned about serpentine walls via splint, which is a linter for C. The serpentine walls were visible on the front page until 2020:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200521064022/http://splint.org...

The FAQ explains why they chose this logo:

The walls are one brick thick, but because of their design are both strong and aesthetic. Like a secure program, secure walls depend on sturdy bricks, solid construction, and elegant and principled design.

North America could be powered with a small section of Nevada being covered in Solar Panels, given a theoretical transmission loss of only a few percent from one side of the country to the next. Bolster that with windmills and hydroelectric and that would be that for the next 30 years.

Electricity would be cheaper and more plentiful than water in many areas.
> Every one that wasn't a tiny startup was full to the brim of people not doing anything meaningful.

That's an entirely different thing. You're moving the goalposts far away from how "lazy girl job" is defined above. People who aren't doing anything meaningful can also be working very hard at it.

The "send a couple quickie emails a day and make $100k" remote job is a fantasy. They may exist for a time, but unless the employer is printing money, the ride will usually stop as soon as someone bothers to look. Also I think it's very unlikely to get hired into one, especially as an inexperienced person.

The only area where I think one could be even remotely stable is in some critical area with lots of domain knowledge and experience is necessary. Once you've you've put in your time you can switch towards leaning on your experience to provide sufficient value to stay employed than your hard work.

> How would you get worse performance?

It's optimistic concurrency. If there's a conflict, the client gets SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT and has to roll back and try again. There's no guarantee the second try will succeed either. They might need to back off (as in, sleep between attempts) and/or entirely stop using "BEGIN CONCURRENT" after n tries.

edit:

originally also wrote above: In fact, without some way of ensuring transactions write to pages in a consistent order, I don't think there's any guarantee any transaction will make progress. It could degenerate to livelock.

...but I think I was wrong about this part. I think SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT means another transaction actually committed touching these pages; so progress was made in the system as a whole.
Isn't all that just the standard process of design/development? Have I been engaging in "Design Thinking" all these years without even knowing it?

This a hundred times. Years ago, on a hot summer day, my girlfriend and I were stranded on the highway after a big truck overturned blocking the entire driveway. We were on my then motorcycle, but couldn't drive in any directions as the next exit was way beyond the overturned truck and it was blocked cars everywhere. We were extremely lucky I brought a couple frozen water plastic bottles in the bags, so although we had to wait until dark (6-7 hours) before they could eventually free the highway, we never went out of water. Since that episode, I always took at least one plastic bottle of frozen water when doing motorcycle trips.
RFK Jr, or DeSantis?

RFK Jr is a public idiot, but DeSantis is already the popular governor of a state considered to be a crucial battleground. He's running second in the polls behind somebody who may be running for President from prison.

I'd say he has a 50% chance of winning the nomination, and another even chance of winning the Presidency. That's a one-in-four chance -- admittedly with enormous error bars, but definitely not to be dismissed out of hand.

The fact that he wants to put a public idiot in a position of power should rule him out, but we've already put public idiots the most powerful position at least once. The population which voted for it has not changed significantly -- and they would likely have done it again, were it not for a once-in-a-lifetime crisis.

I'm not going to waste brain space on rejecting him. That's a fait accompli. But figuring out what to do with the many others who want him to rule the nation... I'm devoting brain space to it, but spinning my wheels. Pointing out how incredibly stupid it would be seems like the most obvious tactic, but is ineffective.
I should set aside some time to look deeper, yeah.

But:

I fundamentally agree with the concept of restricting children from accessing social media up to a certain age. Shit's radioactive.

Making the choice to not serve minors won't stop minors from lying about their age (no new age verification is required?), and it won't stop subpoenas from piling up from individual cases involving children when that company providing E2EE is compelled to provide data it specifically designed its platform not to be able to provide.

It just worries me.
If I bought a used phone, I'd not expect the same battery life or screen time as the brand new counterpart. In fact I never buy a used phone for this reason no matter how sweet the deal is.

Advertising the same range on a used Tesla as a brand new one is fraudulent practice, and people who fall for it are naive.
80% agreement is high, but the margins between models at the top are so low that even that remaining 20% could be enough to alter the final rankings, depending on which direction it errs.
I remember the Java updater, which basically anyone using a computer had to occasionally update.
Hunger, yes, famine, no. There's a huge difference in degree. I know it's popular these days to use extreme words trying to make a point, but it isn't acceptable in a serious discussion. Wikipedia did not say "famine".

> I've given a brief explanation twice already.

Sorry, it makes no sense. What makes food cheap is abundance, not scarcity. Do you really think that if the country was gripped by famine, that FDR would have gotten away with slaughtering millions of pigs and leaving the meat to rot?
There's a lot of confusion in this thread about "before the big bang". I was also confused and did some googling and found this explanation from a professor of theoretical physics. It seems that it's actually pretty normal to refer to the big bang as happening after the initial inflationary epoch, but others refer to it as the moment before this.

>Do not allow yourself to be confused: The Hot Big Bang almost certainly did not begin at the earliest moments of the universe. Some people refer to the Hot Big Bang as “The Big Bang”. Others refer to the Big Bang as including earlier times as well. This issue of terminology is discussed at the end of this article on Inflation [https://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/relativity-...].

The article is talking about the "hot big bang", so it's using terminology that is accepted by other theoretical physicists.

I'd like to see evidence of this, but I'm skeptical. Sounds like something Tesla fans claim is happening, like when you report an error at an intersection it gets fixed manually. And, even if true, I'm not sure how useful it'd be.

Slight nitpick: Using heat won't affect gas consumption of an ICE car. The heat is waste heat that otherwise would be dissipated through the radiator at the front of the car. Turning on the heat diverts coolant to a heat exchanger (tiny radiator) in the ventilation system that warms the air in the cabin.
Waited for 2 years for the new long range Tesla Model X and sold it within 3 months for exactly this reason. The range was a total fabrication - actual range for city driving was closer to 180 miles, not the claimed 300+. Complete sham.

You will want to look at HumanEval (https://github.com/abacaj/code-eval) and Eval+ (https://github.com/my-other-github-account/llm-humaneval-ben...) results for coding.

While Llama2 is an improvement over LLaMA v1, it's still nowhere near even the best open models (currently, sans test contamination, WizardCoder-15B, a StarCoder fine tune is at top). It's really not a competition atm though, ChatGPT-4 wipes the floor for coding atm.
Pretty cool stuff, I would use it just for mirroring the data itself.
Curious if you are planning to have change events for e.g. add/update/delete to the records? I would love to get them in a stream and directly dumped into a data-store like bigquery.
Not just that, but are the 80/20 randomly distributed? Probably not. These comparisons might have more in common with the 20%.
That seems more in-line with my experience. I have been using GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 for data cleaning pipelines, and have tried to swap out LLaMA2 70B in a few of the "easier" tasks, and it hasn't performed well enough yet for any of my tasks done by GPT-3.5.
That's how top speed works.

That's not true. You won't need to be towed, for one (I know that many tow services now are equipping their vehicle with a charger). No specialized equipment required, just someone with or willing to give you a ride to buy a $10 gas can and a gallon of gas, which should be enough.

The other day I had to make a change to a java file for my first time in my life in my work. I only needed to set a boolean to true in a builder. I had to:
1. Create a new annotation in some random file
2. Import said annotation in another file
3. Use a dependency injection decorator on a constructor parameter with my new annotation
4. Require said parameter via another decorator in a class method
5. Finally use the value inside the method

This is even a simplification. Just why...
Heating for ICE vehicles is free because it redirects engine heat.

If your engine is overheating, one of the things you should do is turn the heater on max.
You're using quotes wrong, I never said what you claim. But the argument, as I've repeated over and over, is simple; what scientists publish is what matters. What they say in private Slack chats and emails is entirely irrelevant. I await these authors collective retractions, but lacking that, these Slack messages mean absolutely nothing, and Nate Silver knows that, as should you.

You have a super low and entirely unjustified opinion of a whole lot of key institutions and people in this situation; people you know very little about, institutions you've never interacted with directly, and it shows.

Publishing a paper explaining your belief that COVID may have been a lab leak is not career suicide, if you approach it logically, with humility, and explain your argument clearly. Publishing a well argued and highly sourced paper only to get cancelled is not how any of this works.
