Sure but the problem might be internal find-the-lady accounting.

In fact it probably is. Much like internet advertising has to be. You can't have an entire economy based around free services funded by advertising for other free services, you can't have returns generated solely by investing in companies that invest in other investors. Unless massive numbers of private sector backers have been defrauded, the lady is somewhere. Though maybe not somewhere that taxman looks.

I might buy slighter fewer Starbucks, or Fords, or flights if they were no loyalty programs, but I'd be spending zero money on StarBank/FordBank/DeltaBank without the product to go with it.
I don't believe there's currently any alternatives to ASML's machines for EUV lithography. Unless you're fine using an older process node with lower efficiency. Of course these nodes are fine for a lot of applications still, but I have trouble believing there's any alternatives for cutting edge CPUs, GPUs, etc.
They also make money on hardware not advertising - that data is useless to their core revenue streams (and might actually hurt them) where Facebook and google sell ads

Who then would maintain the AI maintainer?

And who maintains the AI maintainer maintainer?
Disagree on that. It is the freemium model that's used. Specifically enterprise tiers for the vast majority of OSS.

There is a crucial subsection of OSS used within companies but those often come with support contracts and branding which is what you're referring to with Google, but a far cry from "most".
This raises a very critical point. Nuclear is the only dependable energy source. Fossil fuels will run out or go out of favor. Solar and wind on the other hand will become victims of the next major volcanic eruption as ash destroys them or renders them ineffective.
Lunduke pulled his videos from YouTube a while ago. I think he moved to Odysee or another platform.
I heard from a psychologist that homosexuality is associated with higher creativity (possibly explaining why it wasn't eliminated through evolution/natural selection). That seems true in art anyway, but I am not sure if in science the flamboyant online profiles simply make them more memorable characters or if the association holds.

There is definite evidence of hominins in North America 130,000 years ago (search "Cerutti mastodon"). Nobody knows if they were H. erectus, Neanderthal, Denisovan, modern humans, or "other", but with an interglacial at 125,000 years ago, it is not hard to see how they could have got here.
This is just gratuitous name calling and it has no part in a meaningful conversation. I would hesitate to call people crazy for believing in a theory that is increasingly well supported by the evidence. Please consider that the origin of Covid19 and the response to it are two different issues and the main factions do not overlap 100%. Plenty of people believed that covid was a lab leak and also a deadly serious disease to be prevented at almost all costs. Perhaps more people would have taken more caution if they were told that this was an engineered bioweapon and not yet another zoonotic disease instead of being told to be quiet.
For a certain use-case, I'd say I agree. I would argue that the basic web browsing experience for the less technically minded is worse than it was in the past.

For example, I am still working with my partner to get her to recognize and ignore the top level garbage: sponsored links and obvious SEO bait* when she blasts off a "Best <kitchen widget> 2023" search.

*You know, those listicles offered up from a handful of different sites that tend to be a 'top ten' list of a selection of 15 or so different products that are mostly just 7 actual different products white labeled by some brand and sold on amazon through a referral link in the listicle.
Here's a picture of a cat sitting on the hole.
That's what's so great about capitalism: I'm not interested in any of those features on a laptop, so Apple is great for me.* You do, and several other companies compete for your business.

On a desktop (which these days isn't a tower) I do want some of those features, and I get them.

* except kbd, and I find the apple kbds just fine -- I even survived a couple of rounds of the infamous "butterfly" kbds. But I know some people were unhappy and eventually Apple got their act together.
It's not just long haul flights, it's really anything longer than a hundred miles or so. Battery powered aircraft are also very small and light with little passenger or cargo capacity. Then there's the issue of charging. Planes can't just sit idle for hours at th gate as they charge. Faster charging reduces the lifespans of the batteries, and a plane needing a new set of batteries after a few hundred flights due to aggressive wear from fast charging is unacceptable.

It's not just long haul flights out of reach of battery powered aircraft. Even a regional flight like Seattle to San Francisco cannot be feasibly done with batteries. This is fundamentally due to the energy density of lithium ion batteries, no amount of engineering can change the chemical limitations at hand: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density#/media/File%3...
It takes two major failures or errors today to cause the crash of a commercial transport aircraft. All the single points of failure have been fixed. You'll see this repeatedly in NTSB reports. Failure or event A happened, and then failure or event B happened. Single-event crashes of airliners are very, very rare.

Please do explain the algorithm that resolves to a True statement here. I can't find a link to the codebase for the sentiment and opinion analysis models.

> We ban accounts that post like this because it destroys what the site is for.

I don't see warnings on other interlocutor accounts. Seems very one-sided, which is of questionable moderation. Not just on this comment thread but many others. I don't see these warnings anywhere. Again, this points to subjectivity. I searched for subjectivity in moderation on the link you provided and it returned no results.

Please can you also share the algorithms used in moderation for HN?

Thanks very much!
TeXmacs isn't a derivative of LaTeX. It has an unfortunate name. It is a WYSIWYG editor that produces comparable output. It does support some subset of (La)TeX backslash commands as convenience, but requires none of them.

Basically you get all the advantages of Word, all the advantages of (La)TeX, and none of the disadvantages of either.

You took one sentence out of context, reinterpreted it, then replied to your own reinterpretation. In the context of the full "if" sentence, it's pretty clear that OP was asking: "in the hypothetical situation where they did successfully create a superconductor, why publish an invalid process?"

There are lots of possible answers to this question, but your answer was not addressing that question, it was answering the question "why would they lie about having created it?"

Context matters, otherwise we'd all end up talking past each other all the time.

There have already been some questionable football field size comparisons in this discussion thread, but in this case the comparison might add intuition—that is about 7 American football fields worth of solar panels.
We don't use systemd, so we haven't had issues with it.

Things get deployed by the automatic deployment system. If they go in cron, they are supervised by a program called errorwatch which does all the things that you want in a one-shot supervisor: logging, error codes, time bounds, checking for right output, checking for wrong output. If they are daemonic, they get /etc/init.d/ start/stop scripts that have been tested.

If they have a habit of dying and we can't afford that and we can't fix it, we run them from daemontools instead of init.d.

Millions have died, I personally have family members that have died due to the pandemic. There is nothing strange or wrong about being passionate about this topic, especially since we have not made any significant changes to ensure this does not happen again, in fact the type of research that most likely caused this pandemic has only increased. If we do not clamp down on reckless research it is only a matter of time before another one happens again.
AFAIK just on the App Store. That’s it.
Less transistors does mean less power too. I could see applications where that matters.
I contributed to a few of these last year because I wanted to learn a new language. These programs are hard to translate if they are sufficiently large. One way to cheat is to look at someone else's translation to a familiar language like Python then make your translation from there. The problem like that, as someone mentioned elsewhere, is that if you are not careful then you are copying over their bugs blindly (in addition to the original program bugs). We were encouraged as part of the project to try to stay true to the original design. I did add in some error handling. I also found bugs in the python decomposition of a few of them (I don't remember which one's and didn't have the time to fix them).
Most e-bikes are restricted, but unrestricting them is typically trivial - so everyone does. 25mph is extremely dangerous both to people around you and to yourself, when you don't have any protective equipment and no fairings.
That was more than a billion years ago, so no.
I have the original reMarkable device and I love it. My father has the rM2 and also enjoys it, but I haven't felt the need to upgrade. I'd happy take a free one though :)
dev experience is very very important, but I think it's so subjective -- if you are really pushing the boundaries, maybe you want a super powerful platform which can use all the bells and whistles, but if you want to hack a weekend project together, maybe you just want some API calls.
> See "strawman fallacy". People absolutely are making false claims, including about entitlement.

You certainly demonstrated the fallacy. You took the most absurd interpretation of my words that is possible in a literal sense which happens to be easier for you to mock.

Describing someone's behavior as entitled doesn't amount to making a false claim. That's the most obvious interpretation of what I actually said. But you took it to mean that any claim of entitlement can't be false.

> Your imagining someone to be entitled does not make them so, and your accusation belittles their actual, valid reasoning.

There's no imagination or accusation involved here when the very comment I'm referring to is right here in this very thread. It's a statement of fact.

The parts I quoted are ad hominem attacks that accuses someone of neglecting an obligation that objectively doesn't exist. That's the dictionary definition of entitlement.

> It actually shows you to be the one "entitled" to your projected redeclaration of their identity and rationale

Like misrepresenting my words or calling me "narcissistic?"

> potentially shared value-based opinion about the facts being criticised

The parts I quoted isn't a fact-based criticism. It's an ad hominem attack.

> irrellevant as calling out someone for being "entitled to breathe air" if you catch them criticizing the air's quality

Everyone is entitled access to clean air. People have an obligation to keep the air clean.

No one is entitled access to free labor, including having your pet features implemented and maintained in a software project.

But overall, gosh. How many fallacies, misrepresentations, and personal insults can you pack in such a short comment?
The experience with distributions like Spacemacs, doom emacs or lazynvim really isn't that much worse than vscode, you select the language you want to code, it installs a reasonable set of plugins and you get to work.
>>> Dynamic charging probably means auto hooking a charger at the excavator (which are often electric - they don't move much and can have fat ass HV cables running to them that are dragged when the excavator moves) to boost batteries on the trucks while they park as they're loaded.

>>> Optimal performance is no truck idle save when being loaded - dumping is relatively quick.

> Hard to get a sense of scale, but you can see them running across the ground in this video: https://youtu.be/Kw-enXeOnKE?t=101

It seems like the loading process is pretty quick too. It's hard for me to see how it would be feasible to hook the truck up to a charger during loading without slowing the process significantly.
All power to you, sounds nice!
Except that neither of the things you mention affects more people than climate change will. The estimate is that there are about 54 M people World wide suffering from alzheimer.

The worst case projection for 2100 for just sea rise is 4-5m on global average (but much higher in some areas) https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/acb504

To put that into perspective the average altitude of Bangladesh is 9m above sea level, but the majority of the population lives in he south at about 0-1m of altitude. So there would just in Bangladesh alone be more people (let's say 50% of 160M) directly affected by climate change than alzheimer world wide. We are not even talking about the indirect effects of displacing 60M people, all the other countries and all the other effects of climate change.

Apart from that, the argument is under the false premise that we shouldnt do anything anyway because there is worse things. By that argument we should also not do something about alzheimer, because more people die of cancer.

So I question what your aim was with your argument. It was clearly using wrong facts and was under a false premise.
A healthy mix of both at this point, I would say this problem is more of a problem of enterprise since it occurs at scale.
> There were initially concerns about potentially dangerous toxins leaking from the object if it was found to be part of a rocket.

From the photo - the object is a cylindrical tank, with a huge hole in one badly-damaged end of it. It was adrift at sea long enough for barnacles to be growing over much of its surface.

IANARS (not a rocket scientist)...but I'd bet that there are absolutely zero carried-in-tanks-on-rockets toxins which are barnacle-friendly. Ditto ones which would not have been washed away in the first hour of the sea water sloshing in & out of that big hole. And IIR, the intersection of two empty sets is also empty.
You aren't supposed to index vectors larger than ~128 dimensions. Because of concentration of measure which is an aspect of the curse of dimensionality the distances between high-dimensional vectors tend to become identical.

You need to do dimensionality reduction before indexing. Basically it's fine to just pick n first components if you don't want anything fancy.
Aaaand...the question of demographics predictably comes up. I won't venture my own opinion on that aspect of the discussion but I will say that IQ tests carry a significant cultural bias. It's unavoidable. I don't know if they still print them but I used to be quite a whiz with those Dell logic puzzles (cross-sums being my very favourite kind of puzzle). That experience helped a lot with acing the IQ "test" that I had to take to get into a computer programming course way back in the 90s. Fun times.
Oh :/ Even after zooming in? Or zooming in doesn’t work?
My family had a bunch of 80's appliances. They were terrible feature-wise like the washer would eat my clothes, the dryer was practically either stupid hot or practically no heat, and the fridge didn't have any defrost functionality nor water features. They broke down or were otherwise replaced in the 90s. They were replaced with units with far more features and were good until the 2020s, surviving a few moves. A few even got sold in the end as needs changed.

My current kitchen has a microwave that's from the early 2000s, it works fine and has exceptional even heating and top notch auto sensor modes. The 1980s one we had was a total hunk of junk that constantly had failures, wasn't as powerful, didn't have any sensor cooking modes, and performed very poorly at cooking evenly. The other microwave from the 90s ate fuses for breakfast and had massively unreliable sensor cooking modes.

So for me, practically all my newer appliances are way better than the old ones and have still often lasted >10yrs. Anecdotes are anecdotes.
I would classify myself as addicted to weed.

From my perspective and my best rationalisation of it, when I'm bored or stressed I reach for a dopamine hit and weed is a great source of one. The next day I'll have a low and there's a 'battle' between the rational and want. The rational side almost never wins and I'll be in a daily usage cycle for months.

That being said I think it's an easier drug to break the cycle of with planning, since it only takes a few days of no use to dramatically improve my chances of resisting and honestly, if I didn't suffer from poor memory performance, I'd be okay as a daily smoker. But working is next to impossible at the level needed as a SDE.
>discovery seems disorganized and amateurish though, and with the multiple papers all submitted at the same time by competing factions, riff with infighting - but they stuck with a hunch for longer than anyone else and followed it doggedly.

I don't think there's any significant difference here between Google TV and Android TV that I'm aware of. I don't think that's a great user experience obviously, but this is different from taking a portion of all the ad revenue which is shown on the device.
Just in case there's any doubt about what Aldean meant in his song, at a concert this weekend, he stated of the Boston Marathon bombers:

""And anybody, any of you guys that would’ve found those guys before the cops did, I know you guys from Boston, and you guys would’ve beat the s--- out of them, either one of ‘em.'" [https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jason-aldean-defends-tr...]

Note: for several days after the bombing, a number of innocent men were accused of being the bombers. An actual posse formed to hunt down the man Reddit thought was the bomber. If he hadn't already been dead for a month, the posse would have killed him. Several of the other accused went into hiding or were placed into protective custody due to the credible death threats against them.
Lots of references to famous contemporaries. Very silly book! It certainly keeps you turning the pages.
This topic has broken the brains of so many otherwise reasonable people. Is a lab leak possible? Of course it is. But the purported evidence for it is so weak, repeated by the same cranks who seem to have made up their minds.

Also, it's not like the authors of the Nature Medicine paper thought one thing and wrote another. Read their correspondences! Their thoughts evolved over time. It's almost as if that's how science is supposed to work.

From the original paper:

"Although the evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not a purposefully manipulated virus, it is currently impossible to disprove the other theories of its origin described here."

And

"More scientific data could swing the balance of evidence to favor one hypothesis over another."

I don't see the issue here.
the sec also does not bring criminal investigation, only refer. it's not even that effective as a deterrent. only jail stops criminals, not lawsuits.

Even better would be a drone that can irrigate, limb a tree, spread compost, and use directed energy on unhelpful pests while ignoring beneficial insects. We have the technology today to build a drone that can do all of these things, there's just no market for it so it doesn't exist or else it would already.
You aren't going to be able to vacuum slurry up from several km down.
It’s not the licensing or the ethics classes or the responsible thinking or the professors that causes some engineering disciplines to be more carful.

It’s the cost when something fucks up.

If I’m holding my phone near a cliff, and I rely on it for navigation and I’m hours from civilization, I’m a little more careful, not because I’m normally super careful. It’s because — in that specific scenario — losing my phone would cost me so much and the chance of it happening is much more likely.

Space companies spend a little extra because the cost is years of development and billions of dollar evaporating in a few seconds.

And there are software teams in certain industries that dot their I’s and cross their T’s as well.

Even on some dumb CRUD app, if it’s a critical piece of code that the rest of the software hinges upon, you spend a little extra time because the cost of fuck up is so major.

Or you’re launching a product and you have a sign up that will seed your user base, you damn well make sure it works.

if consumers are the problem. Where can I buy one of those fridge that works for 50 years? Seems like the market is missing quality good.... could this be the problem?
Materials going from concept -> public testing in less than 200 years is fucking shocking in the scale of human history.

When did the Chinese invent gunpowder? What about the discovery of uranium? The rate of attention span decrease is much greater than the still shocking increase in rate of discoveries.
This is how cults work. Another example is Republicans who believe in Trumpism and QAnon. It is quite reasonable that those persons can use a defense of insanity, because they are brainwashed (i.e., not in control of their minds). It's how cults work.

I didn't make cults. And I didn't make people join them.

Why does providing basic facts break rules of HN?
I think it largely came down to how much RAM you had in your system.. 4MB was mostly okay, and sluggish, 8-16 much more usable... 32+ was downright snappy.

I recall using an AMD 5x86@133 with 64mb ram with Win95 then NT4 and it was very usable at the time. It wasn't the best for gaming, my cpu/gpu weren't great, but for general work/productivity use it was pretty great for the time. I had received the wrong ram by mistake, and it worked... was supposed to be 16mb.

edit: I also recall paying extra to add in a cache module on that mb.
Recently read this as well. I found the movie kind of uneven in parts but felt it was mostly a better story than the book, which I didn't expect to be the case.

I guess I didn't totally get the Mercerism and animal angle, it seemed to exist mostly to highlight a difference in empathy between characters. I think the film is better without it.

The android test Mexican standoff was amusing though.
My advise: Do not be too innovative before you are a professor, otherwise you cannot become one because the positions you are qualified for do not exist yet.
I can only say that Boox Tab X 13.3 works for me. With Android you can do a lot of things. Also the Mira works fine to be a Windows screen but it might not be the best if you wanna a minimal outdoor setup.
