I just stend to stay clear of certain topics on HN. It's not that I'm not open to different viewpoints on the internet, it's that these comment sections are filled with bad-faith arguing and are just bound to make me angry. If I wanted that, I could just go to Reddit or Twitter.
I'm going to miss the thread-safety non-GIL python offered.

That being said, this is interesting.

Can we get an in-python fork() mechanic ... please?
I wonder if there's a language barrier. I can't judge for myself--neither the substantive content nor the biographies--but hypothetically the principle investigators might not have strong (or any) English language proficiency, relying on a younger, less experienced peer to write the paper.

As someone who sucks at languages, I can appreciate that learning new languages does not come easy to everybody, or even to most people, especially in older age. If it seems like all reputable scientists have some English proficiency, that's a selection effect--within the English-speaking world in particular you're not going to bump into or even hear much about those who cannot speak or write English. AFAIU there's a substantial amount of high quality research in, e.g., Japan that is invisible to non-Japanese speakers. Japan's scientific establishment long predates English as a global language, unlike China; and unlike many European countries but similar to the United States there was never a widespread norm of learning foreign languages even among the professional classes, AFAIU. Though Korea is a younger industrialized country, I wouldn't take for granted that the principal discoverers have any English proficiency, especially considering that they would be late middle-age or older if they were working in the lab in 1999.
Contrarian opinion. I don't think the microblogging concept holds much relevance for the bulk of internet users, especially not in 2023. The best Meta could hope for is to convert a percentage of existing Twitter users. Shallow platitudes of kindness aren't going to help either, especially not from someone who once referred to his userbase as dumbfucks, among other unkind words.
The answer is much simpler. U.S. cities are too far apart for rail to be practical here.
That sounds like such an awesome experience. As inconvenient as it sounds sometimes I wish I grew up in the beginnings of computers.

My uncle told me a story of when he was at his first programming job carrying a box of at least 500 punch cards across a factory floor on his 2nd or 3rd day. Someone opened a garage door somewhere and a gust of wind came and blew every single punch card across the factory. They were everywhere he said. My uncle was terrified of losing his first job meanwhile these factory guys are pissing themselves laughing and almost literally rofl.

Turns out it's a prank they pull on everyone. There's only been a few that held onto the box and the cards are complete trash.

It sounds fun.
This seems like a very peculiar attempt at gate keeping to me. It’s a social network application that we use to share the content that we’ve created with each other. That’s what social media is, and the use case I’m describing is basically what it was initially created for.

ML is going mainstream. Most programmers don't know algorithms and data structures, I bet, if you consider all programmers around the world.
I think all they have to do is send a sample to another lab to analyze.

Apparently, people feel it's pretty easy to make, but in any case, if they have a sample they can see if it has the claimed properties and analyze what it's made of.

science in the modern sense is far less than 1000 years old, and emerged in tandem with systems of publication which no did not use the contemporary review system but did have editors who decided whether or not to publish submissions. not defending the peer review process as it currently exists but it’s not a bizarre outlier in the history of science

Something I've also been thinking about is that we don't appear to have any data on the success rate. Maybe the samples of LK99 are the best that the team has been able to produce, but the process requires further refinement and experimentation.
Surface laptops are priced pretty well on par with apple for a worse screen, quality, and battery life.

Literally no other laptop provides a competitive battery life, screen or build even compared to the surface. I literally just bought a new laptop 3 months ago, and almost zero windows laptops were reasonably competitive with the MacBook for a dev.

Could just be because I have a powerful gaming PC, but I definitely found that windows laptops did not meet up to a decent standard.
> On the other hand, he says, researchers at Argonne and elsewhere are already trying to replicate the experiment. “People here are taking it seriously and trying to grow this stuff.”

Yes.

We currently live in a wonderful technological future where we can transplant organs AND we still do not have universal health coverage.

The future will be very much the same, and material inequality will very likely increase in the near future.

From a humanist perspective the best we can do is empower individuals with endogenous technology that minimizes their dependency on rent seekers and the innate ability to regenerate limbs and organs fits the bill nicely.
Yes, totally! My thinking exactly. Thanks for the link! :)
> The idea of there being billions more dollars for movies and music is not reality.

Well, I easily found $2.7 billion, and I'm sure there's a lot more if you look harder:

https://www.forbes.com/profile/daniel-ek/?sh=5f021fbf46ab

Now, you can argue that he's doing some esoteric thing that's valuable to society, and I disagree, but let's not circle that drain. What you can't argue is that most of that $2.7 billion came from people willing to pay for music, and if we were more efficiently giving musicians money for their music, that $2.7 billion could have gone to musicians.

So I don't buy this idea that there isn't more money. There is, we're just giving it to people like Daniel Ek instead of musicians.

Even if it doesn’t turn out to be a superconductor, it is at least strongly diamagnetic, so it opens avenues for future research either way. There’s a potential scenario here where this doesn’t turn out to be a superconductor, but it nonetheless leads to a superconductor further down the line.
Right now, you often get stuck on using multiprocessing because you need to share one object that is unpickleable and can't be sent over queues.

Improving shared types would be a great addition. Problem is the reason for objects being unpicklable in the first place, is often a more underlying thing that can't be shared across processes, like open file handles.
Does Python have a lot of secondary dependencies? I could see someone pulling in two dependencies, not realize they both use the same unsafe library, and end up having them step all over each other.

Railroads in the US run through land donated by the government, on tracks given to the railroads by the government, supported with funds from the government. Despite all that aid, the government has had to step in with additional funding to ensure they don't go bankrupt many times, especially in the 1920s, 1930s, 1970s, 2000s, and during COVID.

Fulfilling their legal obligations to Amtrak is the least they could do. It's worth noting that the corridors where Amtrak did build dedicated track have the fewest delays and the best safety in the network.

Another option for hiring outside U.S. without a local entity is to involve a global payroll provider for a reasonable fee (we have used Papaya Global, and Rippling does it now as well for certain countries).

A global payroll provider effectively acts as the "local employer" (they have a local entity in each country) and contracts out the employee to your company, so while the employment contract is with the provider, you can still sign all sorts of side-letter contracts like NDAs, IP assignments, stock grants etc without issue.

Pros are that unlike a contractor, the employee is subject to local labour laws and protections. Cons are that the employee is subject to local labour laws and protections (and the employer is subject to local labour taxes, which the payroll provider will pass through to you).

In certain countries with employee-favourable labour laws, we found it easier to attract employees this way, as they may be unwilling to forego the protections and social security / pension payments they would normally get as an employee.

[Edit: but beware of the double edge of course - if you ever want to fire such an employee, you may run up against said strong labour laws.]

The prison lobby is very strong, and there is a massive money making machine ($3billion/yr in the US alone) that keeps the paywall that is access for prisoners, and for families intact.

I'm not religious but I find the commercial and unnatural connotations of the electronic device to be a barrier - meditation often focuses on primitive physical sensations, whereas digital devices seem to work in contradiction to physicality.

Meditation is a very personal experience and strangely many people are telling eachother how it "should" be done. As if their way, which works for them personally, is the only way.

I find the direct involvement of a digital device to be somewhat unnerving and distracting. I use my Apple iPhone with my paid app about 50% of the time.

I get that it's a hard problem, but it isn't a guessing game. Concurrency has always required one to carefully design their program. We will see how Python implements these new APIs, but I trust it will be approachable to those who want to do it.
It’s not just stroking egos; if you read any accounts by astronauts, there’s a profound effect on people that get a chance to look back at earth, and see how it’s actually not infinite. I hope every powerful person gets the chance to do that, I think it’d go a long way in reducing the petty bullshit we engage in.
There are a lot of news articles about Twitter because journalists use twitter, and have come to depend on it to boost their readership.

Just this week there was an article on HN front page about journalism school requiring twitter accounts, and pushing journalists to build "their own brand" by getting lots of followers.

These journalists hate the changes in twitter, and dont want it to go away. Hence the endless articles about Musk, and Twitter and anything even tangentially related.

Most people of course are not on twitter at all (and could care less). Some use it as a group-chat service. Some use it as joke-of-the-day. But the biggest user base by far is journalists who have invested in it big time.

Shopping at Costco is frustrating. It's fine for grocery staples (dairy, fruit, veggies, etc). But when it comes finding specific items in stock (and which aisle in the store), Target and Walmart are way ahead of Costco.

Ordering something at Target for Order Pickup is very straightforward and convenient. For Costco, I guess they don't want you to just order 1-2 items for order pickup and be on your way. Not to mention, the parking lot situation at Costco is a major turnoff to going.

I do want to point out that unlike Germany, where the population centers are relatively spread out over the area, in WA and OR, the vast majority of the population lives in a fairly narrow band largely following I5. The density of the Portland - Seattle - Vancouver corridor is a little less dire. Eastern WA and OR are relatively sparsely populated, so HSR to those areas is almost a non-starter.
It does, so much so things like virtualenv were introduced so every program can have its own set of dependencies such that they won't clash with other libs on your system. Something like flask or fastapi pull in a lot of secondary dependencies alone.
The problem with all things like this is that they are simple mathematical models being used to argue for highly advanced physics and engineering. I find it extremely likely that the real world would quickly turn this half a million years into many billions of years once you add in various inefficiencies and limits. After all, life is a self-replicating machine and it has taken slightly longer than that to consume a fraction of the resources on this planet.

> My challenge is why is this relevant? We pay anesthesiologists a lot more than baristas, we pay lawyers more than teachers, we pay civil engineers more than accountants. It’s about labor markets and paying the price an individual will accept vs their other opportunities given their skill set and the market demand.

Maybe it's relevant because it's yet another example showing that leaving wages up to the market isn't creating good results.

There's no doubt in my mind that a society which paid teachers more than lawyers would be a better society than the one we have.

Reality competition shows are definitely a kind of game shows, but not all reality ahows are reality competition shows; MTV’s The Real World was not – nor was its loose inspiration, PBS’s An American Family. Expedition Robinson from 1997 (and the international version, Survivor, from 2000) really kicked off the reality competition format.

While you seem to believe the person you’re arguing with wants that API to do scummy things, it would be more fair to acknowledge that the feature they described is a workaround for the poorly-designed way apps open on first launch. Being able to offer a user an “install and open this in-app” is an incredibly common feature that everyone who has a website and an app wants, and Apple could easily enable this, for instance, by allowing the app to ask the OS to prompt the user for consent “to continue where you left off on the web?” (“Insert Title from Most Recently Used Safari Tab matching this app’s registered website domain here”)
Consent -> OS provides that tab’s URL to the app as though the user had clicked a Universal Link
No Consent -> do nothing

> Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don't give in to criminals or bullies

They have apologized for using the word criminals & bullies in a broader context and I appreciate that. However, the initial part of the comment is very telling of how they view those who oppose.

This proposal will mainly disrupt ad-blockers, rooted devices and any one who is willing to maintain control of their own tech stack and they are considered illegal/unethical businesses.

I can't ignore the parallels with the real world here.

Authoritarian government introduces laws that restrict freedom and privacy. People oppose and protest. Government doubles down and proclaims only those who do illegal activities are protesting and they are the ones that have something to hide. Seeing how many there are, we urgently need these laws.

> the whole point of designing in the open and having public debate is to find reasonable compromises between stakeholders with very different perspectives

You can either introduce a hostile feature in one go or through a series of "compromises" which is also known as "Boiling the frog" strategy.

Unless the current one is abandoned and there's a radically different approach, I don't think there's any scope for compromise in the current proposal.

It’s mostly the Northeast Corridor from Boston to DC where Amtrak makes the majority of its profits though—which it then mostly loses in the rest of the country.

I don't see the point in a CV if you're reaching out to the recruiter. That fried request message on LinkedIn or first email is your "cover letter". Letting them know who you are and what you want.
