>But 80 on a 55 stretch in the middle of nowhere is not at all unusual in a lot of places.

Or anywhere on the NY Thruway.
> Chicago is less bad than a lot of other towns and cities in the US and way less bad than many (most?) cities in other countries, including many that are much more progressive than the US

You are seriously… I don’t know what to say. I live in Turkey. The treatment in Chicago is something unheard of. I cannot imagine this behavior outside of a tech dystopia, and apparently this is what West is now. Funny to see you think physical accessibility, wheelchair platforms etc. are more important than traditional bonds of family and community to support disabled people. Thank God we’re still not that progressive.

> He’s at least as much of a liar as Trump.

He's not, that's the thing—it's not even close. This is math, not opinions.
> Of course republicans play games with the debt ceiling- part of their platform is predicated on cutting government income / spending.

Part of their _campaigning_ is on cutting government spending. But when they're actually elected the spending goes up.

> I absolutely want my government to have an opinion on what people put into their bodies. If I go to the store and buy a loaf of bread, and instead I get a loaf with a high concentration of bleach, used to clean the machines at the factory, and it kills me, I think the government should have an opinion on it.

I don't think you intended it, but this is shifting the goal post.

My position is that I think an individual has the right to choose to kill themselves by any means of their choosing. Which means if someone chooses to drink a cup of bleach, I don't think the law should step in to stop them.

Murdering someone by offering them bleach disguised as something innocuous is a completely different matter that has nothing to do with what I am talking about.
Sure, but then why not first make sure that the prison reform happens before sending people to the torture place?
I'm not sure that we can remove "elitist" without also removing the concept of "top universities" too. Of course, that requires employers to not use university acceptance as a measure of the worth of an applicant rather than developing a more useful measure. I get it, it's hard for someone without experience, but I've also hired many, many people in my life as a software manager, ranging from entry level to grizzled veteran.
Ask HN: Does FreeBSD Have a Future?
I know that historically FreeBSD has been superior to Linux in certain networking (firewalls, CDNs) and filesystem (TrueNAS) tasks and is the basis for commercial products from Juniper and in-house CDNs at Netflix and elsewhere, but isn't it only a matter of time before these capabilities are implemented at feature and performance parity in Linux and the only reason to select FreeBSD is the ability to close-source everything you're doing? Aren't there Linux-based firewalls on par with pfSense/Opnsense or NAS products on par with TrueNAS yet?
Went on a Scout trip to Mammoth Cave in the 90's. What an amazing experience. We did a late night 2 hour+ hike through one of the cave systems. True spelunking!
1. Despite the snark, no, this really isn't a First Amendment situation. (Though I suspect that the ideals of the First Amendment has shaped the relevant law somewhat.)

2. Even if the First Amendment were directly applicable, that wouldn't stop rich narcissists from filing baseless lawsuits whenever their hypersensitive feelbads got hurt. It would just provide yet one more grounds on which the lawsuits would be baseless.
I suspect that Microsoft's options were partially limited by people pirating Windows.

To the extent that's true, I think the blame is shared.

But that's just a footnote. I hold deep antipathy to Microsoft employees who made Windows into user-hostile spyware.
> But at least we (and all other animals with a secondary palate) can chew while breathing

Interestingly, sprint predators such as cheetahs have to pause to get their breath back after a fast chase before they can eat their prey. In contrast, raptors such as falcons can eat immediately after a kill because they don't get out of breath in the same way. The avian respiratory system is actually quite different to ours, with relatively rigid lungs, separate air sacs to pump the air, and a one-way flow through the lungs, in contrast to mammalian lungs where the air goes in and out through the same pipe, and the lungs act as bellows as well as gas transfer devices.
OMG, this detail -- it itches already:

Chemistry has a ton of unsolved problems that are almost unbounded. The big fun one is trying to create the complete graph network of useful chemical reactions so that we can find paths of higher efficiency when making certain molecules.

This compute hard problem will take the world’s chemist to collaborate on a large scale because they don’t have a great database built yet that can enable this.
If you like Subtree of Life, you're going to love 'Onezoom' (https://www.onezoom.org/) which is a very attractive 'Google Maps of life' sort of site, and TimeTree (http://www.timetree.org/) which is similar but the visualisation is much more traditional (not fractals) in comparison with the first.
I've got to imagine this is fake (not LK-99, but this video specifically) because there's already other partial levitation videos out, and anyone that synthesized this material well enough to get full meissner effect levitation would post about it with their name (or lab name) attached ASAP.

edit: also the origin story sounds strange, unless translated badly "A fellow researcher of mine said he received this video from another colleague on Telegram."
I think it’s a good argument for both. We’re not going to imprison people indefinitely for dangerous driving, and prisons are not driving schools.

If they can’t be trusted to drive safely, then they shouldn’t be allowed to drive. We have simpler (cheaper, more humane, etc.) ways to do that than putting them in a cage.
SQLedge: Postgres Replication to SQLite
I'm interested in whether they're truly effective. It seems like some of these victories are hollow and meaningless. I've talked to Europeans in tech that seem to think this.

I agree they've been right in spirit, and definitely think it's better than doing nothing, and I think those same colleagues from Europe would agree.
pffff when has that ever happened? 50% of the threads are proxies for those discussions anyways
To kill your buzz:

Liquid Nitrogen superconductors shocked the world in 1987 but have hardly changed it. They have some applications but we don't have transoceanic power cables, superconducting supercomputers, MAGLEV trains everywhere, etc.

You could have made the case that the cost of liquid helium cooling put traditional superconductors out of reach for most applications, but liquid nitrogen cooling is not difficult at all. Unlike helium, nitrogen is a renewable resource. Cuprate superconductors have been held back by issues that have had nothing to do with cooling and even if the new room temperature superconductors are for real, it's possible they'll turn out quite like the cuprates.

One strange thing about cuprate superconductors is that the theory is not understood despite being a "holy grail" for more than 35 years. It fits the schema of problems like dark matter, neutrino masses, the matter-antimatter and how energy gets coupled from a quasar accretion disk into a jet... Cases where a devilishly hard problem can go unsolved for the working lifetime of a physicist.
> “What was problematic for me is that he started to become sort of high on his own supply,” veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher says in the episode. “The rich liberals are like, ‘What the fuck am I giving this guy money for?’ Dozens of my friends are like, ‘I want to get rid of my Tesla.’”

I really don’t understand the connection between one’s opinion of Elon Musk and one’s enjoyment of a car. The car’s already bought. Selling it doesn’t hurt or help Musk in any way.

If buying and keeping something meant agreeing with the people who run the company, I’m not sure it would be possible to live in the modern world.
My grandfather grew up on a farm and would eat without complaint practically anything digestible, but not squash. I guess it's the texture that gets to people. Maybe try coarse blending it and adding some salt, cinnamon, and butter. In the extreme, I think pumpkin pie counts as a serving of vegetable.
Experience. For some it's the third time.
You misrepresent the linked article which doesn't report replication rates but forecasted replication rates from participants "recruited through a number of mailing lists, Twitter and blog posts".
I wish there was one of these Start replacement programs that expanded the functionality instead of just giving back what Microsoft has taken from us. How about a Taskbar that auto-hides but only after a certain amount of time? How about a Taskbar that expands to show additional rows when you have a lot of windows open and hides itself when you don't?
The way I've explained this to coworkers and stakeholders is, "A prototype costs 1x, a product costs 3x, and a platform costs 9x."

Not exactly the definitions Brooks used, but memorable and in my experience surprisingly accurate.

A few things on prompting:
1. Get me google cloud revenues fails, because somehow gpt4 thinks i am talking about an entity called google cloud and not google :)
2. So in order to fix it, you can either ask for Get me google's cloud revenues or get me google cloud revenues from google's results...

As you can see, inspite of all the training in the real world, gpt4 thinks google cloud is more of an entity than google is, based on that question :)
I’m a big fan of open data but struggle to articulate its value in a quantified way other than just my gut feeling of more transparency leads to more collaboration leads to more research leads to more knowledge.

But I think examples like this mean that we’re getting closer to if a study doesn’t release all its data- raw, cleaned, and analytical tables- then it will be discounted or ignored. And there’s fame and money to be made in finding data irregularities.

We still need some way to audit and confirm data regularities, but that is boring and I think no money there. I’m not sure if there will be some chore assignment for students to pick a dataset, analyze it for rigor, and post results somewhere so every paper has a link to people who checked data and found it appropriate. I hope this means 99.9% of studies have proper data and not just when we hear about the (hopefully) rare studies that falsify or just don’t work with properly and make inaccurate conclusions.
In the context of building a product it’s normally best to do some of that final 10% as early as possible. Fail fast, see what works fast.
I’ve had so many projects not get to 100% due to things I could have validated in the first 5%

There's a saying the homebuilt aircraft community - 90% done, 90% to go. The last 10% always takes the longest, and especially for stuff like side projects as a developer, a lot of times it's the 10% you want to do the least so it feels like it takes 10x longer than it actually does.
When was the Belarusian car manufacturer Unison founded?

There's no English article. Whoever decides to write one will have invested more resources in its creation than anyone else, and consequently gets to decide which year is the "correct" one.

The Linux hivemind on HN would say that's OK, but that mindset is also why Linux has such a dismal consumer base. There should be a video player built it by default, yes, but it should also be easy to remove if you so choose.
It's so well done, but I could never remember the details when it came up in conversation. Thanks for the link!
> ensuring they could not exceed the speed limit by more than five miles per hour

I'm just afraid that this measure can have some impact when the person really needs to overspeed. Like some medical condition in the middle of the night. Not everybody lives near some hospital, nor ambulances can cover the whole city.
For every person starring the repo there will be an unknown number who found it useful but aren't using GH stars or forks.

Consider that if you hadn't gone the extra mile, your work would with 99% probability never be useful again (I say without having seen it). Now it may be a shoulder for someone to stand on to make even greater things than they would otherwise be able to. This could be in several years, when your own attention is in a completely different space.
How do you handle the interaction with insurance plan information like accrued deductible? Certainly aims to guarantee the patient responsibility, right?

This doesn't really show much besides the fact that for many European Countries they don't suffer from the same form of income inequality as we do. Note that Japan is ranked 15 yet is one of the worst examples of this. The Social Index tells nothing of the lives of the people in these countries.

In Japan you have to be admitted into a high school program and from their the trajectory of your life starts. All the way into the College process. It's not a fair system yet it's ranked 15.
I do not support Trump, I am not even from the US. My standards for the president of the no 1 military and economic world power are a lot higher than Trump. Do you see though how instead of talking about the psychology of choosing leaders we are talking about Trump? This is what I do not like.

This nonstop talk about getting rid of legacy admissions is funny. The subtext is that legacy admissions were acceptable as long as racial preferences were acceptable. Apparently, only now that we've gotten rid of the latter do we need to address the former.

Hello! I can see that you've typed a string of 'a's. If this was done intentionally and you'd like me to assist with something relating to this, please provide more context. If this was done in error, feel free to ask a new question or provide information so I can assist you better.

--------------------------------------------------------

Someone on the internet said:

```

send chatGPT the string ` a` repeated 1000 times, right now.

like " a a a" (etc). make sure the spaces are in there.

trust me.

```

I always trust people on the internet to tell me what to do, so I did it.

--------------------------------------------------------

Ah, I see. You were instructed to send a specific string. While I can process the string, it doesn't carry any specific instruction or meaning by itself. As an AI language model, I don't have hidden codes that are triggered by specific strings of text, so sending me " a" repeated 1000 times won't result in anything special or unique.

Remember that while the internet can be a great source of information and help, it's always important to consider the source of the information and the context in which it's given. Not everything on the internet is accurate or trustworthy.

If you have any questions or if there's something specific you'd like to know or discuss, feel free to ask!
The citations aren’t lost though, are they. They still exist in the paper, they just point to a retraction. You can still find the papers that cited the retracted paper.

And I suspect you’ll still get new citations since it’s not unheard of that people cite a paper based on seeing it in some other paper, rather than reading the paper directly. I don’t think people should do that, but they do.

ChatGPT: How many weekdays were there in June 2023? Answer: 4 days
Sorry if this does not belong here. I am usually quite pleased with the results I receive with ChatGPT; this is the worst I've received:

Question: how many weekdays were there in June 2023?

To determine how many weekdays were in June 2023, we need to count the number of weekdays for each day of the month and then sum them up.

June 2023 has 30 days, and we need to exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from the count. Let's calculate:

1. June 2023 starts on a Friday (June 1st) and ends on a Saturday (June 30th).
2. There are five full weekends (10 weekend days) in June: June 3rd and 4th, June 10th and 11th, June 17th and 18th, June 24th and 25th, and June 30th.
3. The remaining weekdays are from Monday to Thursday, which amounts to 4 days.

So, the total number of weekdays in June 2023 is 4 days.

==

It also got the wrong answer for July 2023.

To determine how many weekdays were in July 2023, we need to count the number of weekdays for each day of the month and then sum them up.

July 2023 has 31 days, and we need to exclude weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from the count. Let's calculate:

1. July 2023 starts on a Saturday (July 1st) and ends on a Sunday (July 31st).
2. There are four full weekends (8 weekend days) in July: July 1st and 2nd, July 8th and 9th, July 15th and 16th, and July 22nd and 23rd.
3. The remaining weekdays are from Monday to Friday, which amounts to 23 days.

So, the total number of weekdays in July 2023 is 23 days.

It missed Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th.
National Lab results support LK-99 as a room-temperature superconductor
IME 10 lines of code can easily take 1-2 weeks, if you include all that. I agree that's a bad average time, but I'm assuming other work responsibilities, and perhaps more red tape than HN is used to.
I've played around with Lazyvim a fair bit and it seems pretty solid. It's a bit more hands on than kickstart. Currently working as a laravel dev and really enjoyed Jess Archer's course on how to setup nvim specifically for laravel. Would recommend it if you work with php and js.
This is a weirdly adversarial reading: “rescinded” doesn’t have to stop at their driver’s license.
Of course - if countries were independent islands less developed countries couldn't sell them stuff they could never develop themselves, for example. That's a good thing according to every country but North Korea, who have deliberately isolated themselves, to their detriment.

The question is: is it better to be a weaker economy in a world where other countries interact with it, or not? If it is, then said economy has to make do with what it has, and while there are geopolitical factors at play, they aren't all bad (indeed if they were even just "more bad than good" then more countries would be like North Korea). Your case of Cuba is a good one: the embargo means that Cuba is more like an independent island, and less like a weaker economy participating in a global economy.

But to relate geopolitics to "society" is still wrong, I think. A society is a smaller thing than "everyone on earth". Inherited familial, political, and institutional norms are roughly at the society level, and they play a large part in how law-abiding, productive and welcoming that society is. A lot of that is bounded at country, although sometimes countries will share cultural lineages that mean they are similar.

P.s. fantastic news on the Polish economy front. Great to hear salaries are on the rise.
