I didn't read a lot of Asimov, but one thing that I noticed is that he likes repeating themes like that on several books.

It could be the main theme in one, and then just a short thing in many others; or the main theme in a few.
Sadly the article explains nothing. For example, it doesn't explain how the Verilog (or VHDL) code will be implemented at gate level, is it expensive or not (in terms of gate count), how long the critical path will be, can we pipeline it, how to implement several writing ports etc.

I think that one shouldn't write Verilog/VHDL code unless one clearly understands how it will be transformed into gates.
Until a few years ago you could walk into the NY public museums and just ask them to give you a ticket for free (or for one dollar), which I think was reasonable. They didn't advertise this "trick" so most people still paid the recommended fee but as someone who visited the museums quite a lot I found it really nice. They recently changed it so that only NY+NJ residents can choose their own ticket price.

It is documented fairly poorly in the South Korean paper. Not atrociously poorly, but enough that there's a fair bit of ambiguity, and several top labs have failed to replicate for this reason. When replication is this difficult, hundreds of labs doing experiments will give tremendous data on the principles behind what create the material, moreso than one lab repeating hundreds of small tweaks.

It's even more stark when you come to realize how big the pyramid is just under a new scientific breakthrough. But there are also examples of people that stayed the course against common wisdom (and sometimes while being derided) who eventually succeeded in what they were doing. This is to me the kind of science that is most deserving of prizes, to encourage others to keep looking even when the answers are far from obvious.

> If you have trouble squaring being ypurself and accepting others with being polite, well, then I agree you have a problem. One that makes relationships of any kind, not just the romantic variety, almost impossible.

Call me crazy I suppose, but wouldn't it be a good idea to give people with problems good advice about how to solve their problems? Maybe some sort of community they could go for for good, actionable advice?

Because if you walk through what you've just said slowly, it was (1) identified that finding a partner is easy for people who don't have problems finding a partner, and (2) anyone who is having problems is on their own, no need to help them.

The thrust of the thinking there lacks a certain empathy. Plan B is being a bit gentler and explaining what they are doing wrong to them using clearer advice than "don't be an ass". That doesn't mean anything concrete and it isn't actionable. It also isn't true, lots of asses have no trouble holding down a partner (usually figuratively, occasionally literally to the general horror of us all if it gets uncovered).

How would picking up the phone made any difference here? The sibling is still dead. Finding out whenever you checked your voicemail isn’t going to change that.

The same goes for “But what if my kid is throwing up at school?” They’ll deal with it, or someone from your contacts will probably text you.

As a sibling comment said, this was our lives for the decades between when the telephone was invented and when cell phones became ubiquitous. I promise it’ll be okay if you don’t leap to answer every unknown call that lights up your screen.
According to this: https://scholarsandrogues.com/2013/05/09/csfe-heat-capacity-... it would require 6e21 J (1 BTU ~= 1000J) to heat the entire atmosphere by 1°C, so just 6e18 BTU, so with our consumption that would be 1/10 of that, so on the order of 0.1°C extra per year (assuming no sinks)?

On another note, this would also imply that if all of the excess energy stored in the ocean (20e22J, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_heat_content#/media/File...) would be dumped into the atmosphere at once, it would warm up by 33°C
I think you would be hard pressed to find any Euro seriously and non-ironically proclaiming their country the best in the world. Then again, it's not unheard of.

Yes. Also evasion of Chinese capital controls, although they've cracked down on that a lot. Not clear to what extent it's being used for Russian sanctions evasion.

It's funny, isn't it? The system was built by someone radicalized by the 2008 financial crisis, which was a bank bailout that was for many countries revenue-neutral, and decided to build their own. But the 2008 crisis didn't have an inflation problem, meaning all the people complaining about money supply were wrong. No, the people with inflation problems were countries with forex issues, and everyone there is clamouring to get into the security of the dollar. Even if it's a pseudo-bond pegged to the dollar. There's no appetite for a flight from the dollar.

(big exceptions in 2008: Ireland, Iceland, Cyprus .. but again, none of those were money-printing related! You can still have a bad loans crisis in cryptocurrency, and indeed there have been several!)
why is it "weird, creepy shit"? I think it's gross when people sleep around a lot and it's a major turn off.

I think that "extractivization" may be a more descriptive possibility. I.e. we are describing a phenomenon whereby a platform is changed from a strategy of increasing its user base to one of extracting value from its userbase.

Consequently, from a user perspective, this leads to the counterintuitive idea that you probably shouldn't trust any platform who doesn't explain how they're making money off of you.

> the data does not lie

Data sure does lie if you interpret data selectively. If the alternative to a divorce is an unhappy marriage, then divorce can produce better outcomes than staying together. Just because people are divorced doesn't mean they're unhappy, and optimizing for marriage rather than happiness would be foolish.

Furthermore, individuals getting divorced have a disproportionate effect on the marriage rate, because, obviously, they have strictly more marriages (and (one expects) more partners) than the people who haven't been divorced.

CMIIW but the main thing to make acquisition times more reasonable is higher magnetic field strength.

> Isn't it just a way to sync a reading list across browsers, and have those pages pre-cached on a mobile device for reading when you have no connection?

Basically, and I’ve been using it for that since before the acquisition, although recently the Android version had removed the option to cache full versions (only reader mode remains), which has enough of an impact on my usage that I’m planning to migrate away.

Still, there’s a lot of things that seem very misaligned with Mozilla’s mission: the huge dark-pattern tracking banner, the non-open-source nature, the huge dark-pattern tracking banner, the default homepage with weird US-politics-related recommendations that has replaced the actual list, the huge dark-pattern tracking banner, the recommended links inserted at the end of each article as an engagement-driven manipulation, and have I mentioned the huge dark-pattern tracking banner with the accompanying tracking. This would be an expected amount of evil assholery from a random SV startup, but from Mozilla it does feel like a point to add to the betrayal tally (hello EME/Widevine),
I agree. I've known lots of devs who've suffered burnout over the decades (although it's far more common now than it used to be). I did myself, as well.

All of those devs were well-compensated. I don't see even a hint that the level of compensation enters into it in my small, not-statistically-significant sampling.

There’s no way to concentrate energy without creating some danger. Gasoline is quite dangerous but we drive around with tanks full of it now. Natural gas and high-amp electricity are dangerous but we have them coming into many houses.

So I would propose the question shouldn’t necessarily be, “how bad is the worst-case scenario”—it’s pretty bad for all energy sources. I think a better question is “how reliably and efficiently can we prevent or mitigate the dangers.” That will go a long way toward determining its commercial viability.
To be fair, no one in the us has a grant to replicate something that came out this week. Its also the academic summer. A good amount of PIs are probably nowhere near their labs on vacation currently.
What is artica, I think you mean "The Arctic"?
I'm a librarian and while I sympathize with some of the arguments here, they are not arguments I can explain to the public. No one cares, and they shouldn't have to. They should be able to read everything from James Patterson to Thomas Piketty and not have to think about it and Libby is pretty good at enabling that. Alternative platform exist, but none of them are as good. Libby works on a lot of devices and Overdrive works with Amazon for people who own a Kindle. More people check out e-books and fewer check out physical books every year; the pubic wants what it wants and right or not Overdrive is the best way to get them that.

So yeah, this could come crashing down. But more likely it will be like the transition of any format. Audiobooks have moved from tapes to CDs to digital in the span of about 15 years (in 2007 we still had lots of tape audiobooks) so we tossed the tapes and bought CDs because people got rid of their tape players and then did the same with CDs. We didn't dig in our heels and tell people tape players were good enough because it's not a luxury we have.

Yes it's definitely noticeable in my home region (Ore Mountains near the Czech border). Not as large scale as in the photos of that article, more like isolated spots. The forst is definitely getting thinner, at first caused by the massive damage from storms like Kyrill, and then the dry summers in recent years.

Same long-term strategy as in the Harz mountains though: natural reforestation, which should eventually lead to a more robust forest (maybe at the cost of profitability).
In addition to the other excellent recommendations here, I'll shamelessly plug my local museums, the Smithsonian. They're a world-class collection of over a dozen major museums in D.C., and all free for the benefit of the public. If you haven't been, go.

Facilities like the Udvar-Hazy Center for Air & Space charge for parking, but admission is free. If you're in Downtown D.C., this matters much less of course.

> The root problem is that the American population is, at large, too incompetent to keep up with the rapid changes in modern life

Too incompetent by what definition? That presupposes that there's some level of competency that's mandated at-large. If you're dumb enough to believe drinking bleach will cure cancer, especially with the internet at your fingertips, you kinda deserve whatever consequences come from that. It's not yours, mine, or the government's job to prevent that.

Taken to its logical conclusion, this kind of thinking builds laws and societies catering to the lowest common denominator which is a preposterous suggestion. You hit the nail on the head in the sentence right before—there is no perfect system. But one that caters to the lowest possible subset of mental cognition is definitely not a step in the right direction.

The people do not need to be told what to believe.
I do think, though, there's a place for terminology that carries a negative valence but still allows the speaker to sound dignified.

It seems like signing up for globalization means having to accept consequences like this. You can’t bemoan when invasive species affects local ecosystems when you also allow unabated global transport with absolutely no security or inspection for diseases or insects etc.

You can’t be lazy with inspection and then be shocked when an extremely global eceonomy introduces Bark Beetles and decimate your trees. Either accept this outcome or spend more money at entry points or stop globalization with countries that don’t inspect their exports to avoid the situation completely.
Pretty reasonable to support the erosion of privacy and foster a "I have nothing to hide, and if you act like you do you're probably guilty lmao" culture along with an Orwellian monopolistic grip on the foremost medium of information exchange of this and probably the next century because of your personal apathy. :) #justreasonablethings
Meanwhile Helsinki built a new central library, back in 2018.

There's a cute walkthrough video here showing some of the facilities on offer:

It's not the main library of the city, but it is very central, and I have good memories of taking our toddler there, not to mention having hungout since then.

The wikipedia page shows some nice images, and I'm pretty sure the building has featured on hacker news in the past too!

There are two bits of information that the article omits. Large chunks of the Harz forest are a nature reserve and only limited action will be taken, for example planting seedlings. Pesticides won’t be used in those zones - the only action that will be taken is a safety corridor around those zones. The spruce forests that grow there are not the original forest - they were planted to get access to cheap lumber for mining operations, sometimes on terrain unsuitable to spruce. Most of them were planted after WW2.

Here‘s an article that goes into a little more detail (in german, from the nature park administration) https://www.nationalpark-harz.de/de/der-nationalpark-harz/wa...

My first job out of school was engineering consulting, writing software models of pre-production military radio hardware. The client was a military contractor, and they paid a crazy sum in order to have 3 DAT tapes: one tape always in the drive used to make the daily backups of the shared working directory, one tape always stored in a bomb-proof bunker, and one tape potentially in-transit via courier. I think it was once a month that the client's sysadmins rotated in the "unused" tape, sent the latest tape to the bunker, and waited for the old tape from the bunker to return as the "unused" tape.

Due to absurd government requirements, we were not allowed to use any version control software other than PVCS, and PVCS could only be used for storing official releases of the models. So, the last person in the office on Friday needed to make a dated zipfile of the shared project working directory.

So, one day I convinced the project manager to just let me rename our working directory, create a new empty one in its place, and tell our sysadmins that I accidentally deleted the contents of our working directory. It turns out that the client's sysadmins hadn't set up anything to expunge the oldest backup and had dutifully ignored the alarms that the tape was full. So, the latest available backup was from about a week after they last changed tapes!

The senior sysadmin prominently had a sign on his cubicle reading "Programmers are the ditch diggers of the 21st century." Those same sysadmins were supposed to keep the server room door open while I reinstalled Solaris on a Sunfire V1280 via serial connection from my laptop, because there were cables carrying TSSCI (Top Secret - Secret Compartmentalized Information) traffic. However, the V1280 consumed so much power that the server-room was under-cooled, so the sysadmins illegally shut the door to keep their cubicles cooler. They had top-secret clearances. They knew their obligations to keep me away from those TSSCI cables. Those lazy lazy arrogant sysadmins.

Anyway, unless you have recently passed a restore-from-backup drill, you don't really have backups. Even if you pay absurd amounts of money for sysadmins with top-secret clearances and absurd amounts of money to store your backups in a bomb-proof bunker.
