The idea that God is unchanging, or "immutable," is a common literal interpretation, often derived from passages such as Malachi 3:6 ("For I the Lord do not change") and Hebrews 13:8 ("Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever"). However, the idea that these passages mean that God's actions or creations cannot change or vary is not the only possible interpretation.

It's possible to understand these passages as referring to God's nature and character, rather than His actions. In other words, God is consistent in His attributes — His love, justice, mercy, and so on — but this doesn't necessarily mean that His actions or creations are limited to a single pattern. After all, even within the Bible, we see God interacting with different people in different ways at different times.

So, to apply this to the topic at hand: God's immutability might not prevent Him from creating life elsewhere in the universe. The incarnation of Christ was a unique event in human history, but this doesn't necessarily mean that God couldn't or wouldn't interact with other life forms in a way that is appropriate to their nature and circumstances. God's consistency in character doesn't restrict Him to only one method of interaction or revelation.

It's worth noting that other interpretations exist which might allow for the possibility of extraterrestrial life without contradicting the idea of an unchanging God.
In the sense that, his strength and stature are probably not genetically heritable as they aren’t encoded into his genes (although I don’t know my

Because the world doesn’t revolve around them. Just because you will never get to see the Sistine Chapel doesn’t mean you should be fine with it being burnt down.
It's worth noting you can sue for just about anything, but a case could end up being dismissed or you could simply lose it.

I recall at launch just about the only implementation detail that _was_ publicly given was that it did not involve tape. That's going to be difficult to dig up a cite on years later.

No idea how it's evolved over the years, so for all I know it's tape based these days.

Lol. I'm sorry but my work has me directly interfacing with Bloomberg and other financial institutions. If anything, I trust the code LESS because of who wrote it.

Just because software is heavily used and deals with finance, doesn't mean it's secure or well written. Consider the Equifax breach of 2017, everyone's credit info leaked because Equifax was using a crusty old version of struts with known critical CVEs.

Also the article seems to be written by an LLM anywway, so it wouldn't matter in the end.
The group lead ("principal investigator") raised funding (from NIH and NSF) through grants to pay for computers. That's how it's normally done. Making grad students and postdocs buy their own server (not laptop) is not an act of honor. It's also a huge security issue (as you say, no consistent IT management).

In this case the scientist was a postdoc so they partly used the group lead's funding and partly had their own funding. That money was for science, not buying computers. It paid for NMR machine (a $10M device), solvents, reagents, going to conferences, grad students, color figures in papers... but my professor was fairly well-funded so we had a full-time "professional" sysadmin (not a grad student) and everybody had a $15K SGI Indy on their desk (which was abysmally slow, because it was the lowest of the low end capable of running OpenGL).
It's a lot of mental gymnastic to think machine learning = human learning. Especially on HN, where people should understand scale matters a lot in real world.

The presumption among all of this skepticism is that the speed of light is the ultimate limitation.

The problem with this stance for literally the past 20 years is that the Alcubierre drive, which has yet to be disproven in concept (despite requiring exotic matter and high amounts of energy) has been known about since the 90’s, and at least makes FTL travel, theoretically possible.

This is why I am skeptical about modern-day skeptics: Have they simply all collectively not read the Alcubierre paper, or the expert physicist responses to it, despite having had 20 years now to do so? Do they really think that simply not knowing how to implement it is an argument against it? How nearsighted would you have to be to assume that we’ve discovered all the loopholes already?

In my ignorance, I didn’t know that virtual pipe organs even existed until a couple of months ago, when I happened to hear on BBC Radio 3 a recording of a Bach prelude and fugue that caught my attention. It sounded to me like a regular pipe organ, but the voices were clearer and more distinct than I am used to hearing in recordings. It turned out to have been recorded on a virtual organ.

The organist is Richard Irwin. I ordered his CD and have enjoyed listening to it:

There's a saying in the camera department where the AC wants to buy a stop from the DP. I have always wanted to use that line, but I've never had a DP shoot that shallow for those kinds of scenes. In music videos, sure, but man! I haven't had the time to look into what was used to shoot that, but I'm wondering if they were shooting T-.95 it was so shallow.
You need to do some personal hustling and find hiring managers or founders of recently funded companies that someone in your network can introduce you to. Otherwise you're just another resume in a sea of thousands. Do something to make yourself stand out.
Just consider: rat -> flying squirrel -> bat

How much "wings" does a flying squirrel has 30%?

(It didn't evolve that way, but it's easier to imagine that sequence. But flying squirrel "wings" look more similar to pterodactyl wings that bat wings in spite they are unrelated.)

"30%" wings are good to glide. "1%" wings are probably good to jump a little farther. "80%" wings are probably good to jump to a branch instead of climbing. This numbers are totally made up, but I hope they show that intermediate "wings" can be useful.

Stories like this make me wonder how much software is out there straight up lying to everyone and we just don’t know it.

I’ve been asked to build tools that round up or down wherever possible, to just add a little polish to how the data is presented. But nothing like this. It definitely makes me weary about future where everything runs on software.
I've never cared much for consoles due to their "walled garden" aspect (not user-programmable, locked down hw & sw).

PC, 80's/90's home computers: programming bits & pieces Lego style by oneself, exchanging software + knowledge with friends, exploring assembly code, coding straight to the metal & so on, is so much more rewarding + extends creativity / skillset for use later in life.

In comparison, game console is just 'dumb' appliance like a toaster or TV set top box: hit button, watch it do its 1 trick. ;-)
Ask HN: Any Prediction Markets hiring developers?
The more I learn about prediction markets, the more I think they would be a worthwhile place to work.

Wait, "punish the company"? Say what? The company is not a person, and they would get rid of you without any notice should the need arise.

Your comment reads like a form of victim-blaming, "they should have never gotten into a situation that left them severely depressed".

What!?!?
But borrowing that money has implications for the economy and other businesses.

This is the mistake the OP made. You can't "goose" GDP by borrowing because that money has to come from somewhere. And the money used to "goose" GDP is money that doesn't go to other productive uses.
You have to put some limits in to prevent selling the lotteries, as if you’re going to have money change hands it might as well go to the source.

> Not to mention most of these now fixed problems likely weren't even problems if you had a G-Sync/Freesync display and a compatible GPU.

I have a Freesync display and a compatible GPU and i can feel the difference between no vsync and freesync. There is a slight lag there, if you cannot feel it do not assume that others cannot too (some people even seem to not be able to feel a difference between having vsync on and off or having a compositor or not enable - nowadays really only possible on Linux but in the past you could also do it with WinVista/Win7 and in Win8 with hacks like the one linked - which is mind boggling to me).

Of course the input lag depends on the game and how you play it. First person games with raw input, 1:1 mapping of the input (i.e. no filtering whatsoever) and little to no frame queuing (some engines run 1-2 frames "behind" the game state and if you add things like triple buffering you end up with extra lag) are the best to notice this whereas third person games played with a gamepad (where you have only indirect control of the camera - you control the camera's rotation speed, not the camera directly) are way harder to notice, as are games where you mainly use the mouse to click where to go (especially if the game uses a hardware cursor instead of rendering the cursor itself as part of the game UI).

Also high refresh rate monitors make it slightly easier to overlook the lag (though it still is possible to tell - mine is a 165Hz monitor after all and i can still notice, it just doesn't annoy me as much as on a 60Hz monitor).

I can buy a DDR5 64GB kit from Crucial for $160.

If a $1000 GPU came with that, it would blow everything else out-of-the-water for model size. Speed? No. Model size? Yes.

If it came with 320GB, I could run ChatGPT-grade LLMs. That's $800 worth of DDR5.

Instead, I get 24GB on the 3090 or 4090 for $2k.

A $3k LLM-capable card would not be a hard expense to justify.
My woo detector is blaring.

superconductors can't carry arbitrary current. A lot yes, but dependent on the material, temperature, magnetic field, etc. And on the subject of the material, can it even be made into a wire? Is it stable? How much does it cost? So assuming it costs about the same as copper, what are the benefits? 0% loss, vs, maybe 10%? So the grid is 10% more efficient? I mean, that's definitely useful, but...

Again for energy storage, what's the energy density? How much does it cost, if it's even possible to configure for that use? It sounds like you expect to power a car from an AA-sized cell - not happening IMHO.

Microelectronics; Can you make IC's with this? What is the feature size? We now have 10^11 transistors on a chip, can this do that? How costly? Even if it can, what's the actual benefit? Just power-saving, or can this ramp up to terrahertz speeds? Again, IMHO, not happening, except maybe for a few specialized switching applications.

Super-strong magnetic fields? Ultra-sensitive magnetic detectors - OK, these make sense.

I mean ambient superconductors would be a major thing, useful across many fields, and perhaps creating entirely new capabilities, but let's not get carried away that suddenly climate change is fixed, fusion will happen tomorrow (It'll never happen economically, IMHO), we'll all be moving around on levitating chairs like Wall-E, powered by AAs, etc, etc.

I’ve never heard anyone refer to that area as Cascadia. It’s commonly called the Pacific Northwest. I do see the Wikipedia page on Cascadia so I’m not claiming it isn’t a legitimate term (perhaps in Ecology circles?) just that I’ve never heard it used in common parlance.

You could check ids and make the tickets non-transferable. Like at some concerts.
Oh this is awesome. When I was a kid I really really attempted to write a Keen knock off (doctor who themed) on my 386 and it was ok although never really did enough level development to make it super playable. But TO THIS DAY, never knew how the heck they made it scroll so smoothly. I just ended up just jump scrolling. Figured it was some mad assembler skills, never imagined there was a hw register!

Did figure out the double buffering stuff on my own though ;)

Seems so obvious, learn something new everyday, even if it would have been more useful, say maybe ~30yrs ago ;)

For example we were in Madrid in 2019. The queue to the Prado was round the block. It was hundreds of metres long.

Portland Oregon has PDXLAN https://www.pdxlan.net/site/

Not sure if they did one in Spring 2023??

From the website:

What is PDXLAN?

PDXLAN is a PC gaming event near Portland, Oregon. Over a thousand PC gamers from around North America unite together and bring their computers to play video games with one another for four days while raising money for charity. Our goals are best described in our tag line: “Have fun, Frag hard, Give back.”

PDXLAN events are four days long, host multiple in game contests, analog contests, BYOC tournaments, Sponsor presentations, and raffles.
Alarmist nonsense. I would be interested to see how he justifies the belief that “It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C.”

Even if all the rich countries stop all emissions, poor countries will continue emitting for a long time. I haven’t seen any climate plans which explicitly consider this.

In the same way the west falsely hoped that Chinese growth would lead to Democracy, we are assuming that western efforts to reduce emissions will be copied by others.

This is all moot anyway, since the West isn’t going to stop emissions anytime soon.

Yet Austral returns optional types from any memory allocation function rather than calling abort.

And stack overflow is a memory allocation failure, so why is the discrepancy? I.e. for the language focusing on correctness this is an unfortunate omission.
