PRESS RELEASE:
On 07/31/2023 at approximately 1700 hours, Chief Landon J. Dean observed a small vehicle passing several other vehicles as it traveled west bound on US 36 in front of Shenandoah High School. Chief Dean was able to determine the speed of the small vehicle at over 100 miles per hour.
As the Vehicle passed by it was identified by Dean as a Google Mapping car with several 360 degree cameras mounted on a tall antenna on top of the car. Dean was able to catch up with the vehicle in the 8500 block of West US 36. The vehicle was still traveling at speeds well over 100 miles per hour and was passing several other vehicles. The Google Vehicle refused to stop.
The vehicle continued for several miles into Madison County. The Google Vehicle slowed down at the intersection of State Road 109 and US 36 due to red light and then continued through the red light.
The Google vehicle attempted to turn south just east of Pendleton Indiana due to a bridge being out. The Google vehicle lost control and drove through a yard and then into a creek where it became stuck.
The driver was escorted out of the vehicle and placed into custody. The driver was identified as Coleman Ferguson by means of a Florida Driver’s License. Mr. Ferguson stated that he worked for Google and was scared to stop.
He was transported to Henry Community Health Hospital in New Castle for medical clearance and then to the Henry County Jail. He was arrested for Resisting Law Enforcement with a vehicle a Level 6 Felony.
Middletown was assisted on the scene by Pendleton Police Department and Madison County Sheriff's Office. Madison County Fire and EMS units responded to the scene also.
NOTE: Formal Criminal Charges will be filed by the Henry County Prosecutor’s Office. Mr. Ferguson is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Last I looked, the entire Green Bay side of Lake Michigan (from Green Bay up to Escanaba/Garden area) was under a PFAS advisory, as was the south western 1/3 of Superior (from Duluth to the Keeweenaw).

The stuff is everywhere. At least the raw sewage overflows from Milwaukee/Chicago mostly dilute and turn less toxic in the matter of months versus generations as is the case with PFAS.
As a scientist, I'm glad you mention Lakatos, as he described science in a way that is recognizable to practitioners, yet is more philosophical than Kuhn (more a sociologist of science). He significantly impacted how I practice science and evaluate theories (and research programs).

Lakatos is interesting because his philosophy tried to rescue Popper's philosophy in light of Kuhn's arguments, but mutated it considerably in the process.

I suspect then the reason seafood is becoming the chief source of PFAS is that most of this is made in China and lax environmental rules means most of it is getting dumped down the Yangtze.

Getting a $20 Teflon pan instead of a $15 one but they actually dispose of the chemicals properly seems like a no-brainer here.
It's relatively common materials, basically, lead, copper, sulfur, and oxygen, combined in a specific manner.

There is a chance that either the original measurements were wrong or that there remains some unrealized step in the process to make the superconductor superconduct.

It’s funny how different this was ~10 years later. Visual studio was basically best-in-class as an ide (I think) and you could throw together a simple app pretty easily just using the mouse to design the form and writing functions in C# with a bit of google or just looking through the autocomplete list. But maybe that’s a bit rosy and if one wants something more complicated, it all drops back into win32 api stuff.
> They also predict that substituting gold atoms into the Pb(1) site could lead to a material with very similar properties, which will be an extremely interesting idea to put to the test.

Since the base material is lead apatite, I had a random thought that maybe medieval alchemists trying to turn lead into gold just had it backward, as doping gold into lead might be a breakthrough. :-)

Taxation isn’t a binary event.

Following your line of reasoning, no one should complain if 401k withdrawals are taxed at a .000001% rate, because hey, they are “taxed”.

The point is that retirement accounts get better tax treatment (which is the the clear stated goal of the accounts) and most of the value is delivered to people who are already better off in society, it isn’t giving the disadvantaged a leg up. Or at least, that is the argument.
I installed the "Webrecorder ArchiveWeb.page" Chrome extension and wanted to "record" (whatever that means, my assumption/hope is to make a working copy) a fancy interactive JavaScript website.

But when I visit that website, then select "Start Recording" from the Webrecorder Chrome extension, after a couple of requests, that Chrome tab will "crash" and show the "dead Tab" icon and inform me about "Error Code: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION".

In addition to what the other commenters said, I'm imagining most of the replication attempts in the USA are happening in chemical corporations. Compared to academic labs, the corps have much easier access to highly regulated materials and FAR stricter communication protocols.

Your average architect is barely managing the coordination of their structural, electrical, mechanical, civil, and plumbing engineers. As green adaptive technology accelerates, it deeply concerns me that our notoriously slow moving construction and design industry will fail to incorporate these technologies and deliver the built environment we need to succeed against climate change.

This technology is great, but the real breakthrough will be getting someone like Lennar homebuilders to incorporate this into their constructions by default.
I think it deeply depends on how much variation in code is actually there to support the database(s). Along with how much data, how many collections, and how would you handle the migration and/or scaling with your proposed alternative? Is it worth stopping all feature development for weeks/months to migrate? How profit driven or constrained are you?

There's a lot that I like and dislike with MongoDB. As a developer, it can be a relatively nice experience. As an administrator, I hate it beyond words. It really depends on your needs, entrenchment and the skills of your staff.
Dunno about rust, but since both Nim and Zig compile to C as interim, it should be fairly easy to get them working together, no?

It's tough to tell what capture actually means in this context.
HN tends to be a place where many technical experts explain complicated things succinctly because they know the audience here has a certain baseline of knowledge. I scrolled down until I found this question (as I have the same "huh, what is this anyway?" reaction).

Because I'm a "Very Busy Person" and don't actually have all day to screw around with "every YouTube video", I come to HN to optimize my time spend/information gained ratio.

Likewise, on this topic, even the above is still confusing. People say it's more efficient, then replies say we're already at 95-99% efficiency so it doesn't matter much. I'm still fairly confused!
There's not a huge network effect between cities though and there's high fixed costs for each one so it's not a great technology business.

What does 'top 50%' responses mean here, though? You'd need to have a ground truth of how 'good' each score was to calculate that --and if you had ground truth, no need to use an LLM evaluator to begin with.

If you mean trusting the LLM scores to pick the 50% 'top' responses they grade, this doesn't get around the issue of overly trusting the LLM's scores.

Scientists Question Superconductivity Claim from Physicist Accused of Plagiarism
>So, the job might advertise $20-40/hr, but many of these guys are making well over $100k annually.

This is not mutually exclusive. Both per hour earnings and annual income are relevant measures. $100k annually for working 2,000 hours is a very different quality of life than $100k annually for working 3,000 hours. The other factors that will come into play are working conditions (for example, outdoor temperatures, working in active roadways, etc), working nights, early mornings, weekends, and frequency and distance of travel.

But it will all work itself out, even though there may be some pains while supply and demand curves move to find the correct prices.

I've been writing a technical book slowly over the course of the past little while. It's split into fairly small sections so each one has a file that's technically markdown, but it's mostly just headings and lists for things that aren't raw text and code samples. I use vim since it's easy and light for work on my laptop, and I just like it for plain text editing at this point.

More productive? Not by a notable amount I'd say. Editing is straight forward - 1 sentence per line makes finding things easy.

I'd also say that the tool you use for most things doesn't matter as much as the act of doing (age old advice here on HN). If you get distracted a lot then maybe it's worth a shot, but by no means is Google Docs not up to snuff if you just want to get some words written down.

What?

> I can't imagine essentially "moving" to a new place 3 times a year.

You're not moving. You don't need to pack your microwave, sofa and stamp collection and organise 3 trucks to move all your stuff. You pack 1 or 2 suitcases with the things you need for the climate for 4 months (which goes by faster than you think).

> I have pets

Ok, others don't so I don't see how that's relevant

> would need to take at least 3-4 days off to pack and move everything

As I said, it's only 1-2 suitcases. You can pack them in a couple hours. If you need an entire day then you do it on a Saturday. Not sure why packing requires extra time off work. You make everything sound so stressful. Do you tend to stress about many normal life things?

> so unless this dude owns 3 properties

Perhaps they do, but truthfully you don't need to own a place to spend somewhere 4 months. I've been to places for a few months and most rentals have fully fitted kitchens and basic things such as hair dryers, etc.

> Not to mention being incredibly stressful (which would make me less productive).

Being stressed over nothing sounds like a subjective you problem, not a general problem. People also pack suitcases to go on holiday and going somewhere nice is for most people associated with happy hormones and not stress hormones.

> I make no assumptions about their actual work day. Maybe they are incredibly productive.

Exactly, they are incredibly productive because nothing was said that would even remotely suggest the opposite.
Don’t know why this is getting downvoted. Clearly the problem is that some people want rides for which the fare is too low. With a higher fare, some of these people could get rides rather than getting rejected time and again.

Because the drivers can't be held accountable.

Drivers can do all of that and restaurants can't fire them. Users can't just order from places that do better delivery.

And drivers simply don't give a fuck. There's only profit in quantity. They know quality is so bad that the only way they can get a tip is if they hold service hostage. So they do. And they do all the dumb shit like sitting on food for tens of minutes so they can "optimize" their deliveries.

The services don't give a fuck either. They don't make the food or deliver the food. If you don't like the food or the delivery, that's other people's problems, not theirs. The service worked as advertised. You were able to order food from a place that doesn't do delivery, pay for it, and get it delivered.

And at the end of the day, the one who gets fucked the most is the customer. They get tepid food over an hour after they order for prices two to three times what they would pay if they were at the restaurant.
The Perl core module for it isn't bad, it's one line to tie a hash to a DB file and then you can use it as normal. The main flags are to determine if it's RO/RW and whether to create the file if it doesn't exist.
I would not find that cool. I think for a typical crypto use case:

(A) you want to use exactly one encryption method (eg no algorithm negotiation)

(B) you want to be very careful about calling the right functions with the right arguments

Relying on compiler magic doesn’t sound good for that to me. Though the grandparent comment does seem to go against (A) so maybe the situation is different.

I fry a fair amount of eggs over easy on my cast iron and get good results so it's definitely doable. I think preseasoned cast irons are fairly cheap these days although I picked mine up on Craigslist with a set.

For the most part, cleaning the cast iron is two seconds of chain mail scraping under the faucet because not much really sticks to it and there's just the small leftovers that weren't worth scooping, then I put it on the stove for a minute or two while I wipe up other things and just let the water evaporate off so it doesn't rust.
Your point about the real cost of those chemical is so crucial.

Maybe I would have more respect to whatever free market proposal if the real cost were factored in.

And yes, it’s including not polluting or cleaning up fully after yourself if you do.

If you pollute in a non cleanable way, you either pay a lot, or it’s illegal.

Kinda tired of freeloaders.

> This smacks of out of touch bureaucrats saying “what do the kids like? Video games? Lets get some of them together.”

Its actually bureaucrats getting together and saying “what would be simultaneously educational and a way to showcase how to use of LOC resources that other people can build upon”.

> $20k covers next to no development of a modern video game.

They don’t want what you are thinking of when you say a “modern video game”, nor is the prize intended to be a purchase fee, rather, a bonus along with showcasing it for a labor-of-love. There are government projects that buy things at prices intended to cover the actual costs, they are government contracts, not competitions like this. If this isn’t the kind of thing that just seeing the description of what they are looking for doesn’t make you think “Hey’d, I’d like to do that even if I wasn’t getting paid to”, its probably not for you.

> If they _actually_ wanted to engage with folks creating popular games in order to create pro-civic content, that’d be neato (imo) but it’s going to require actually paying for quality.

Yes, and if that’s what they wanted, there would be an RFP, the usual set of government contracting requirements and preferences, etc., not a short-timeline competition with a requirement for (a) using LOC resources, and (b) maximally open licensing (which the LOC itself doesn’t need since it is also acquiring broad nonexclusive rights as a condition of the contest, separate from the license under which the code is offered: the open licensing is for third parties.)
That isnt how the 'free market' works. For an efficient market buyers and sellers need to be on roughly even footing.
Crypto is utterly useless, a walled off sector of cons.

AI is useful enough to be dangerous in the hands of bad actors, where the marks are not just the suckers but the people who want to have nothing to do with it.
Couldn't edit my post, but forgot to mention my main pain points with Nim have been:

- its module system, especially not being able to have mutually recursive imports (there has been a 7 year old proposal[1])

- order-sensitive declarations of procs (i.e. can't use a proc defined further down in the file unless you add a forward reference to it). For the latter there's an experimental pragma[2], but it doesn't work a lot of times once you introduce mutually recursive calls

- object variants requiring declaration of a separate enum instead of allowing inline declaration of the variant cases, and a close issue[3] with not being able to define the same field names under different variant cases.

I mean, I'd definitely try such a thing if someone offered it to me. You often can't predict how multiple complex flavors will snap together and sometimes weird-sounding things are counterintuitively amazing. That said, the chance I'd drink something like that regularly is zero.

While I'm classically trained, my focus is from-scratch bar food while keeping it at the same price point as the frozen food service shit. I used white truffles, beluga caviar, and things like that when working in fine dining and in culinary school, but never once have I purchased such things for my own menu.
Most of the time a client just cares about the information, not the typesetting or the layout, and in that case most of the data can just be pulled from the web inspector (downloading files). I've yet to have a client ask me to also copy the typesetting and layout so I never learned how to do that.
Well the article says it's made of material that wouldn't catch fire if that's what you're specifically Wondering.
