This, to me, reads like you're incredibly used to one workflow so any different one seems "odd". But I don't think it's odd, I think it's just different. If we'd all been doing it the jj way for a decade and a half, I think the "index" and "staging" would be the thing that seems odd to us.

So for instance, to work with the index with all your logging and instrumentation and debugging that you describe, you must be doing a lot of `git add -i` over the course of your workflow to partially stage things. Maybe you're also stashing the unstaged changes to make sure what you have in the index works on its own.

Well, I don't think that interactive add workflow actually seems any different fundamentally from copious use of `split`ing changes out of the working copy commit with jj. And I don't think stashing seems fundamentally different from rebasing the changes you split onto the branch you want to apply them to, leaving behind all the logging and instrumentation.

Yes, it seems like a lot of commit editing. But this is downstream of your workflow that requires some step to differentiate between what to check in and what not to, at a fine-grained level. You would have to split things up manually with jj, but you're already splitting things up manually with git, it's just a different workflow with a different command, but I'm not convinced it's any harder. Just different.

> Pull requests in that world routinely need to be split/squashed/reworked during review and when moving across branches. You need tooling to do that.

Yes, but jj seems to come with all that tooling! And I think its model of implementing all that on top of commits, rather than a combination of the concepts of unstaged+staged+stashed+commits, may actually be a better fundamental model.

But again, I still haven't used jj. My workflow is a lot like yours, at least oftentimes. I split stuff up ahead of time, I use the index a lot, I stash stuff a lot, I edit commits, I rebase interactively, I squash and split. But by my reading of jj, I think I can accomplish all that stuff, and just maybe in a better way.

I wrote a good chunk of these notes and can tell you that these are probably the least detailed/useful we've ever done, because they were only about 40% completed when release day came, so we spent a few hours doing quick & sloppy improvements :P you can hopefully expect them to improve a bit over the next few days

(although I think we still managed to write up all of the most important bits)
Not all meaningful science is this level of groundbreaking for this model to work. Formal peer review is still very much necessary.

This isn’t a new problem. Every generation believes the next generation is shite.
As water heats, the solubility of solids (salts, sugars, etc.) goes up.

As water heats, the solubility of gases (O2, CO2, etc.) goes down.

Humanity coming from initial blissful ignorance about CO2 emissions eventually became concerned about rising atmospheric CO2.

Most emitted CO2 was actually being absorbed by oceans. This also makes the ocean acidic.

So the oceans acted like a "landfill" buffering a large amount of CO2 emissions.

Consider a duplicate earth, where Carbon is added to atmospheric O2 oxygen molecules. As long as its surface waters are not saturated with CO2, it can buffer a large fraction of the resulting CO2, with an equilibrium constant between aqueous CO2 and atmospheric CO2. At a certain point this "CO2 landfill" or rather "CO2 seafill" saturates. Assuming for simplicity a constant CO2 emission rate, thus without increasing the rate of CO2 emission, atmospheric CO2 rises at an initial rate (slower than CO2 emission rate, since a large fraction is initially absorbed by the ocean surface waters); until surface waters are (near) saturation, at which point atmospheric CO2 starts rising at a much higher rate since the surface waters no longer absorb significant amounts of CO2.

If one then desparately and miraculously succeeds in somehow halting continued excess CO2 emissions, the globe will still heat due to the added atmospheric CO2, also heating these surface waters, decreasing gaseous solubilities, resulting not just in aqueous O2 depletion but also sadly in "CO2 blowback": the large fraction of CO2 historically dissolved in the surface waters turns back into the atmosphere, even though miraculously excess antropogenic CO2 emissions were halted!

From a "carbon credits" perspective, where players are traditionally viewed as nations and corporations, surface waters rear their head and releases the historical CO2 debth.
> The losses you take are zero.

Sure, but transission losses are generally a low single digit percentage-- eliminating those will not have much impact, but on the other hand your superconductor is EXTREMELY unlikely to be even close to cost competitive with aluminum/steel core wire.

Even if you could achieve critical currents comparable to conventional high-temperature superconductors at ambient temperature (which appears *highly* doubtful!), keeping high power transmissions lines at human-survivable voltages would be a tremendous waste of super-conducting material.

And even inside homes it seems quite farfetched to me to scale down voltages-- nobody wants to use plugs and switches rated for 200 amps just for their cheap toaster...
I'm guessing this is the crappy v1 that barely does what it's supposed to. Still represents a giant leap for mankind
Indexing has clear analogues from before the Internet. It is obviously not copyright infringement. Quoting a small snippet to give context for a search result also obviously isnt copyright infringement.
One of the problems I faced is that when a product does 15 different things well, how do you explain what the product is? This is a problem because it may do more than one thing well, and each of those areas may take you in different directions all of which scale well.

Yep. I have a variation of Hofstadter's law.

Pro tip: buy them from other countries. (This doesn't solve the policy issue, but does solve the practical one.)

They're like $6 each if you buy them from this pharmacy in India. $600 Advair inhalers are $30-ish. The website I linked doesn't even ask for a prescription.

I buy them by the dozens. I never run out anymore. (It's good to over order, as it takes 6-8 weeks for delivery to the US.)

Separately, note that there is supposedly a temporary worldwide albuterol inhaler production shortage, so maybe don't over order this quarter.
Yes, exactly. And getting approvals from three layers of management. You know, science.

I'm pushing back against academia because I think the system is pretty much a mess. Academics believe that we got all the nice technological innovation because of academia. I think it is despite academia. Most money going there is just wasted on writing not what you think is right but what you think will be published, waiting for peer review, and other bureaucracy. The main problem is that academia works with the belief that science needs to be rigorous since bad science might damage their reputation. However, this is how governments think, but not how scientists should think! Would the world be a better place if any new website, company, or YouTuber should be reviewed by peers first? No. Just like science, these are strong link problems [1].

One challenge is that these superconductors are ceramic. Brittle and inflexible.
The potential huge impact of climate change could very well start the nuclear war. Masses of hungry, broke and desperate people don't do good for politics as we've seen again and again in the past. One can only hope that they turn against corporations and the 1% instead of electing fascists.
Naturalize the Russian, problem solved.
That may depend on the efficiency level humanity is currently running at, my guess is we are running somewhere in the neighborhood of 50%.

I had a look at demonstration video for easi-breathe, I guess it might be useful for some people. But for me it looked most like a solution in search of a problem, and I would probably be livid if someone forced those one me.

You seem to be somewhat unhappy with the inhalers you are using, so something that you could look into is switching to ones that don't use propellant. I find that for me, they are nicer to use than the propellant ones. I initially switched for environmental concerns, but now I would be unhappy to switch back, even if they made a propellant one that was good for the environment.

Btw. anyone that wants to try without propellant and gets pushback, play the I care about the environment, and I want to try card. Most people will fold in the face of that argument.

A painting campaign lasts between 18 months and 3 years, and the tower is repainted every 7 years. So, basically it’s being painted upwards of 35% of the time for longer campaigns. That’s a lot of maintenance!
Ask HN: For advice: I'm a mathematician looking for a plan B outside of academia
I'm a maths postdoc whose position will end in December 2026, and while I love doing research I want to make sure I'll be employable outside of academia in an intellectually stimulating job just in case. I work in an extremely pure area of maths with no real world applicability, so I want to learn something more useful on the side in the three years I have available. I have some basic programming experience in a few languages, but I never worked on a big programming project and I have no knowledge of what is required in the job market. There are three main things I find interesting in the compsci/software ingeenering world:

- low level stuff and assembly: this used to be a passion of mine in high school, but after I stopped after entering uni do to maths a few years back, I'd like to get back into it, but it seems of dubious usefulness when it comes to finding a job.

- combinatorial optimization: it is mathematically heavy, full of interesting problems and something that I'd like to know more about (I took a course during my masters), but again I'm not sure how requested this kind of knowledge is job wise.

- blender/3D modelling: this is an hobby I've been into for some time, I very much enjoy it as an artistic output (my artistic skills in traditional mediums are nonexisting) but I'm not sure I'd like to turn it into a job.

Because of ethical reasons I want to stay as far away as possible from anything that is insurance, finance or crypto related. I'm not really interested in AI and/or machine learning either.

If you moved from academia to industry and want to tell me about it, or if you have any kind of advice that might be useful I'd be very happy to hear it. Thanks in advance!
Curious about this, but not sure I understand exactly what it is for. Could you maybe say what it is an alternative to? For example is it an alternative to using Flask?
As long as the voxels are weighted by some sort of confidence value, generating a high quality 3D model based upon a dozen or so goodish quality models is a trivial fitting task.

The problem with the multi-perspective approaches are: to do it well you need lasers and extremely stable AND perfectly localized observation points, making it slow, expensive and fragile for robotic applications, OR the image-to-model component of it is a grotesque anti-physics artifact hallucination which reinforces entropy as much as it does valid data leading to shitty models.

Essentially, this single image to 3D step is the key to both forms.

Did anyone claim that it was `Free Software`?

Does anyone ever claim that they're trying to release free-software but not FSF free-software?

I think the issue is that the opposite of `closed-source` is clearly not `OSI Approved License(tm) open-source`.

If had the influence they like to claim with their "we invented the term open-source" myth, why don't they go invent some term for "non-closed source, non-OSI approved license(tm)" software, and everyone will use that.

BTW, here's a handy list of uses of `open-source` going back to 1985...

Seems that the term was already in existence, I guess that's why the OSI's attempt at "open-source(tm)" went down in flames...

I pay extra for a theatre that serves alcohol you can bring to the movie with you. That drops out everyone under 18 right at the door and helps a lot.
The new rotating indicator is aesthetically pretty but terrible in terms of ergonomics - it's yet another attention vampire.

In fact I wish there was a system-level global switch (like with dark/light themes) which would disable all the animations. I feel like people should start thinking about their attention resources the way they think about energy and system resources, doing their best to eliminate everything that leaks it. Both ideas go great together with e-ink displays.
I think all the comments are valid, and would improve the writing. I'd probably replace "near" (an Americanism) with "close to".
FWIW I was in a similar situation to you a while back on a web project and discovered that users loved navigator.share(), which invokes the OS native share sheet you mentioned on both Android and iOS.

> If they can turn on developer mode

"Developer mode" (aka the ChromeOS 'Turn on Linux' mode) is not available for Google FamilyLink accounts and is optional on a per-student basis with Chromebooks for Education.

We bought the students Chromebook "Linux" computers; and then Google locked them out of Linux and added a "Turn on Linux" button.

Students are no longer able to run bash, git, or python on their Chromebooks.

Students must only install approved apps from the "Play Store" which takes a 15-30% cut from paid apps and now must use GPay if they process payments. Students and FamilyLink accounts cannot "sideload an APKs" like they can "Install a package" on actual Linux, Mac, and Windows computers.

The SecureBoot kernel and module signing keys can be easily changed on all coreboot machines FWIU.

ChromiumOS was originally Gentoo, Gnome, and Chrome.

Students can't run `git --help`, `python`, or even `adb` on Chromebooks*.

(* Students can't run `git` on a Chromebook without transpiling to WASM (on a different machine) and running all apps as the same user account without SELinux or `ls -Z` on the host).

Students can run `bash`, `git`, and `python` on Linux / Mac / or Windows computers.

There should be a "Computers for STEM" spec.

It is a bait-and-switch shame that we bought Chromebooks for all of the kids and then they were home due to COVID, and they couldn't learn to git, bash, or python with pytest.

You didn't include in your quote that the skeleton was digitised to help prepare for it's move to the main hall of the museum. I think that the article emphasises that the analysis and digital artefacts created while moving the skeleton are an important scientific resource. That sounds credible to me.

The FDA aren't mustache-twirling villains here. I'm pretty sure they're responding to public pressure; nobody cares about an invisible graveyard the same way as a visible one. Heck, we have people outraged about the emergency approval of a vaccine which saved millions of lives.

So maybe this effort will be successful by using the FDA as a foil, but ultimately we need to convince the public at large to change their/our attitudes.

The dead were buried with little Barbie sized statues called "shabti". The duty of the shabti were to do your labors for you in the afterlife. Poor people might be buried with one. Wealthy people would have at least one per day of the year.

If this climate change were natural, I'd be sad at how much it will cost to save what can be saved, and how much will be lost. But I myself won't live to see the worst of it.

What makes me angry today is that the same climate denialists are applying equally motivated reasoning to make a lot of people's lives worse right now. Climate denialism is a conspiracy theory, and they see conspiracies everywhere. American national discourse is non-existent because every issue is immediately shut down with "if you want it, it must be part of your attempt at world domination." The reasoning is appalling, but they've been trained on climate change (among others) to accept just outright stupidity.

And I'm at a complete loss for what to do. Everything I believe in stems from being able to make a solid case and have it be accepted by at least a majority. If that fails the alternatives are awful.
