Yeah, the situation with the European neolithic transition is one where there's a substantial amount of population discontinuity and people are partial to replacement specifically, though there's still some debate as to the exact nature and timeline of that replacement. For example, I've excavated areas with centuries of coexistence between foragers and early sedentary farmers during the neolithic transition, which makes the more universally violent replacement theories look a bit suspect. This is very a feature particular to Europe and older theories (~70s-90s) though and not common to modern Asian, or Americanist archaeologists.

As an aside, Cavalli-Sforza was a legendary figure, but a lot of this stuff has benefited from powerful new tools like eDNA and effective aDNA that he never had much of a chance to speak on.

For Kohler's paper, I'd point to the summary as a better example of what I was trying to communicate:

Evidently, though, powerful blending forces were also at work. These included local exogamy, which, on the borders of linguistic groups, led to blending, movement of traders among increasingly sedentary groups, movements forced on populations increasingly reliant on agriculture by changing climates, and movements forced on increasingly large and sedentary groups by anthropogenic depression of local resources. One of my goals in this article has been to add convergent evolution to this list. This would have been driven by adaptive considerations, possibly bootstrapped by additional blending processes such as indirectly biased cultural transmission across groups (Mesoudi and O’Brien 2008). Together, these blending forces created the Pueblo culture area and Sprachbund.

The Pueblo cultural area isn't particularly unique in this respect. There's been a broad complexification of transition theories in archaeology, where specific common explanations are subsumed by everything everywhere all at once. Population replacement in particular has gone from being the default explanation for every new archaeological horizon to being a much more localized, one-of-many explanation.
Or I could just drive. How is walking with all these inconveniences "objectively better"? :)

The fact that management doesn't directly do the work is definitely a problem. They're ultimately recycling other people's opinions to evaluate performance, perpetually out of the loop, yet they still have to be the bad guy if a project is behind schedule or there are performance problems. They are also in trouble when it comes to actually helping people finish problems: aside from buying licenses or equipment, all they can do is say, "go ask this person".
It doesn't seem to be working though when breaks are given so broadly.
The absolutism is a bit extreme, but your comparison isn't really fair either. Outside of crypto, we don't regularly see startups get loads of hype and money only to explode so spectacularly that the founders end up in jail.
This is on point for me. I don't come into work to "invent" my own work. Management is expected to know what workers should work on, make sure it has the right ROI for the company, and that the rewards of that work flow to the workers.

At many FAANG-like companies, engineers are supposed to find "scope" themselves to keep their own job? Are you crazy? What the fuck is management doing in these companies?
Brexit had literally no impact on this, and will likely help significantly. Remember that the eurozone has been an economic disaster for most of Western Europe outside of Germany, and now Germany is sputtering out too. The UK was "allowed" to not adopt the euro for legacy reasons but the EU would likely have demanded entry and many other harmful policies had the British accepted the argument that they couldn't leave even if they wanted to (which was the core of the remain argument).
> He pointed out that this would only work in normal age-related cognitive decline, not the decline seen in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

That's an important distinction. Alzheimer's disease is a specific problem, separate from long-term cognitive decline. That the mechanisms of both have been identified is real progress. One way medicine progresses is by differentiating causes of the same symptoms. Then specific treatments can be worked on.

Short-term thinking only. human+AI will give way to AI...of couse, I can reap the advantages of AI. THAT is the problem: thinking about what I can do. That is the problem that plagues us.

Nearly all Glass and Plastics block UV-B which is needed to make Vit D. UV-A found in tanning salons oxidises the melanin pigment aka the sun tan and melanin converts 99.9% of UV radiation and converts it into heat, so the suntan regulates how much pre-vitD can be made by the skin.

There is a corrugated plastic sheet (2mx1m) which allows UV-B through, but it needs replacing every few years as it breaks down and its expensive!
Wrong, my fallacy of choice here is ad hominem.
It’s exactly the same as the Barnes-Hut method from a quick glance, there’s nothing particularly new in this paper as far as I can see. There are various papers which have merit on releasing specific codes that support this, but people have been using it in spin systems and even in micromagnetics for years. I did my PhD in this area years ago and implemented it in Monte Carlo and dynamical simulations at the time… and I cited papers going back to the 80s and 90s when I wrote up my thesis!
A lot of options open up when you cam have an array of smaller magnets I think.

> "during downtime, only apps that you choose to allow will be available"

This isn’t actually true. Apple default apps are generally available. For example, Files.

My child worked around the limits by downloading everything she wanted to use and open them on Files.

She’s also good at wasting time on Maps.

Downtime should mean downtime, and the documentation shouldn’t contain falsehoods.
But the irony of the 2004 enlargement is that is what primarily led to the UK voting for Brexit.
As I see there is an advantage for managers in terms of rising up the corporate ranks. Management titles form a strict hierarchy. So if your company grow from 10 engineer to 100 engineers then someone needs to be a Director because you "can't" have EMs report to other EMs. You can, however, have a Senior Engineer be a tech lead or help provide broader architectural plans.

Given the choice between maintaining a fork of a C standard library implementation and switching to an implementation that doesn't have this issue, the choice is pretty clear.

It was pretty clear that musl was unwilling to support adding any TCP fallback code path regardless of a patch existing.

I was thinking more what would a typical Starbucks regular spend in a month. Like I don’t think they would but a £4 drink every day.
Your premise is faulty. The aim of debate isn't to foster people who form their own opinions any more than baseball is designed to foster people who can reliably strike fast-moving objects out of the air to a stick. It's a sport, it has rules, and it rewards tactics and strategies devised within those rules. Read Patrick McKenzie about this; he's written a bunch about how competitive debate was unintelligible to outsiders as far back as the 1990s.

>Can you imagine a factory where machines with the potential to dismember someone are installed by amateurs with no certification

I've got some bad news for you about human drivers, they're typically allowed to get a single certification as a teenager that lets them operate a motor vehicle for 50+ years with no recalibration other than maybe a decadal vision test.

We inspect elevators more often than human drivers, despite elevator deaths being much more rare (maybe that's a cause and effect relationship?)

>How is being good in a particular field of tech _more_ transferable than management skills, which is arguably needed everywhere be it tech or not.

Managers are viewed the same way engineers are when it comes to skill transfer, in that their "expertise" is limited to the field. Which is why it's rare to find managers who made leaps that way across fields, as they always get overlooked in favor of someone who's either already in the field or is ok with switching from a technical role into a managerial one.
So that it doesn't fall.

Ask HN: Should the CTO of an AI company be a scientist or an engineer?
Asking this to HN might result in biased answers, but I'm interested if people think of applying "AI" (broadly) as an engineering problem to solve or one that requires some kind of scientific thinking about what's under the hood. Or does this depend on what exactly is meant by AI?
Mix and match them. If problems arise, ask them to work together on the same task. Don't micromanage when they might very well support each other.
I'm not a chemist either but I know that ethanol is a solvent, and has the ability to dissolve and carry volatile organic compounds. That is why cosmetic perfumes, and food additives like vanilla extract are alcohol-based.
How about we tax you for having bad ideas?
Coming at this from a gamedev perspective - imo, if you can, the best solution is to never use colour alone to convey information. For example, you can have a blue and a red thing, but the blue one also has spots. Or it's a dark blue, and the red is light. Or the blue thing is a diamond and red thing is a circle, etc etc. This has the added benefit that it helps everyone, not just the colourblind.

Nah. LaTeX is undergoing major development at the moment to support automatically tagged pdfs, and the latex3 work is still, as far as I understand, still ongoing too.
While this may not be available to everyone right now, I am using a service from Finland https://www.hei.io/ to help me auto generate subtitles and "AI" voiceover.

Upload youtube link/video, Generate eng subs. Fix english subs manually, auto generate subs into any of the popular languages (we have req. for Asian langs.). Manually fix the auto-generated asian subtitle from minor errors. Reupload it and get perfect true "AI" Voiceover. All AI voice over services will have errors in translation/meaning. If you want quick job, this does it. If you want accurate job, manually fix the subs created by such services.

Anyways, what used to take us 2 weeks, takes us a day or two.
I bought a load of UV-B flo tubes with a desert profile and rigged them up over my bed which would go upto the ceiling and then they would come down in order to bask under for hours. I could control how far away from me the lights were so I could move have them closer to me for a quick 30mins or have them further away for spending 2-3hrs underneath them.

I'd go to sleep under them, just dont have them too close to you though otherwise you will burn but never tan.

Totally agree. I think also the Scandinavian countries were sad to see the UK go, as someone else has mentioned in another comment, it was a counterweight to German/French hegemony.
The other way around, the meaning of API standalone has been narrowed to mean HTTP APIs, as if it were redundant. Specially tedious if you're searching for non-HTTP API design notes.
The cool trick is to use a nano-porous hydrophobic material with some air trapped in the pores. Water evaporates into the air, then re-condenses on the other side, while salt can't pass. The water does not stick inside, because the material (based on silane) is hydrophobic.

The practically important part is that the membrane does not degrade from the chlorine and ozone, the typical water disinfectants.
They work absolutely fine if you stick with what worked five years ago and don't update anything until some Nvidia blog says you should.

Just don't use Wayland, don't use too many screens, don't use a laptop, don't run a recent kernel and don't expect software features like their special sauce screen recorder, or that trick where you can get a free camera inside a game, or anything else packed into their gaming toolkit on Windows. Oh, and accept a very high idle power draw if you choose not to go with Windows.

With all of that, most games work out of the box. CUDA works, video encoding and decoding works (though you're severely limited in terms of the number of simultaneous streams without hex editing the driver).

I do get the occasional Nvidia related crash, but it's been a while. Still, I don't think I'll ever consider buying Nvidia for a Linux device again. I was a fool to think "Nvidia has come a long way, I'm sure a laptop with an Nvidia GPU will work fine with a few tweaks".
Absolutely.

I wonder why everyone's having such long startup time for emacs - like 6 to 8 seconds. Mine has a lot of add-on packages and it still manages to start up in 2 seconds (It's a server. So that happens only once in a session). I haven't done much optimization either - unless you count a lot of autoloads that you automatically get with use-package.

Funny, for me the Latin Spanish acting sounds better and the Spain ones sound stiff. And for video games, the acting from Japanese voice actors usually feels better than the English ones.

Amazingly nonsensical arguments against it on historic thread: that you should stringify object like its always an easy option, that comments shouldnt be used because of dsls like there is no even more stupid alternative, that it should not be changed because Daglas said so, and most fascinating, that one already has Yaml like its not 10000x times bigger language instead of 3 extra rules everybody actually wants. Amazed. Its really true that no progress is possible until current generation dies off :)
How much time have you personally spent doing physically arduous tasks in the fields? Most soft and pampered Americans have no concept of how difficult that life is.

Your #if statement will select exactly one implementation for every single site of the use of LENGTH() in the codebase, depending on the value of X_MIGHT_BE_MYSTRINGBUFFER at compile-time.

I became interested in machining, and took a job making gears because it seemed interesting. The financials changed, and I was trapped in it. In 2020, I got Covid, a mild case... but then Long Covid has removed me completely from the workforce.

I have tons of regrets, mostly unrelated to the above. I'm still programming and tinkering in my copious free time, with what energy I have.

The gear making job was interesting, and tiring, but I didn't worry about it 24x7 like my IT Admin job. When you left for the day, you were done. Bonus is that you had made something that could be used potentially for a hundred years or more. The downsides were the pay and the commute were both horrible.

> The Bhagavad Gita is quite clear about the cultures of the old Aryan peoples. They were nomadic, cowherding peoples, who were highly patriarchal, that valued prowess in battle and the ability to kill your enemies ruthlessly, even if they were members of your own family.

Not this again. This is an old missionaries tale. There are descriptions of large cities and palaces in Mahabharata (of which Gita is part). Nomads don't construct palaces and large cities. Also, the Gita is about duty to preserve good not killing. (A few months ago I debunked a similar comment on this site lol)

You'll notice my complaint about the BPY article is not about its griping over semantically incorrect uses of buttons -- I'm fine with that! My complaint is ascribing those incorrect uses to deep dark political and cultural forces, or viewing them as harbingers of societal change. That interpretation strikes me as self-indulgent nonsense.

People are styling semantic "links" as visually prominent buttons because it's a practically effective way to direct the eye, and hence a practically effective marketing strategy. Most of them don't even know what semantic html is. So this is all explained by humans taking actions to accomplish their immediate goals and not caring about things like the html spec that aren't directly relevant to those goals.

The typical landing page with big type, punchy explanations, social proof and CTA buttons evolved mostly because it works.
Paris is ancient and built on a bunch of hills, there are quite a few places where retrofitting the city to make it more accessible would be easier by rebuilding the whole thing than by making changes and that's not going to happen. Amsterdam has an easier time of it, not quite as old, though old enough that that isn't a big factor in the difference, the good bit is that it is mostly flat (other than the canal bridges, some of which can be pretty steep). Even so there are areas of the inner city that would be hard to navigate in a wheelchair.
In my city, an office building was converted to an apartment. The windows don’t open, given it’s an old apartment building.

I think folks are confusing complex IT management in a big complex enterprise with various outsourced vendors and tight SLAs with regulation.
