Pro se just means I did it myself - no lawyer involved. My costs therefore were limited to filing and service fees (about $100). I’d say I spent about 10 hours working on it (spare time over weekends etc). My settlement amount in that case was several thousand dollars after an in person negotiation with their lawyer (they had to fly in to my local court for an 8am Monday morning hearing time).

It was worth it to me at the time but the biggest issue is you don’t have control over when the calls come in- so you have to spend some time up front social engineering these people to get the information you need during inconvenient times of the day.

Not everyone lives in US. In Europe most electronics is shipper back to the producer by mail for an indefinite amount of time (weeks to months) without any replacement while it’s gone. The item that comes back is usually a brand new replacement.
I am always dubious of Krebs since the whole Ubiquiti debacle. I acknowledge that he apologised (in a fashion), but the fact that he doubled down when he must have known that his source was the perpetrator leaves a bad taste. As someone in the security field, I treat everything he reports with a healthy amount of scepticism, double-checking any sources he provides.
Notably, neither provided any extra evidence that LK-99 is a superconductor
-let / -ette / -et

is a diminutive suffix, meaning something smaller than a normal thing. e.g. piglet (a small pig), or ringlet (a small ring), or cigarette (a small cigar).

ergo, a manlet is a short / small man.

in context, the parent post is implying that the guys face isn't bad looking and that he probably wouldn't have a problem finding a date as long as he's not short.

My girlfriend in the 90s chose USBank for me, and it was pretty good. I stayed with my account even after moving a few hundred miles away. But there were certain transactions that must be done by involving my "home branch", so I became mindful of that technicality.
When a superconductor interacts with a magnetic field, currents generate at the surface of the superconductor that will produce their own magnetic field, which cancels the external one. The superconductor doesn't fall out to the sides because the field gets cancelled and there's no net force acting on the conductor.

There can still be torque (i.e. rotations) for type I superconductors, and type II superconductors when they're fully superconducting. I'm not familiar with how the specific dynamics work though - I'm guessing it's related to gravity?

This replacement is called a homoglyph or homograph attack and was huge a few years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack
It's pretty much due to the strength of evidence.

There is no conclusive proof that this is a superconductor on the replications, but the evidence has been on a different level from nearly everything else you'll find on Arxiv since the beginning.
Right, but it's a self-perpetuating process. It's not happening just top-down, but cyclically. The people "at the top" are also caught in the same system. Jeff Bezos isn't just trying to sell you stuff; he really believes that having more stuff is better. That's what the parent meant by "self-manipulating."

Yeah, that's pretty rich coming from researchers who are 25 orders of magnitude smaller.

So you’re saying that that line of reasoning depends on people existing in the future and thinking about the same kinds of things we do now in the same kinds of ways (at least wrt this particular argument). I can see how that is not guaranteed, especially far into the future where it might become difficult to understand what qualifies as an observer-moment. It is certainly speculative.
I believe that the days of ATMs, and branches, are numbered.
>Over time, and in groups, people can only be expected to operate based on the incentives and disincentives that are presented to them

No, this is missing the core reason due to believing in an inherent order or that implementing the "right" incentives is the solution.

The real core is that humans are sometimes irrational. This irrational behavior is why economists are regularly wrong (on both macro and micro scales, from recessions to struggling to understand why an incentive/disincentive is ineffective when it should from all other testing), and the core as to why groups can't stick to Do The Right Thing.

How do you communicate the "right things" tho? That's the part i find difficult. I feel like most consumers just want cliff-notes. Which are difficult to write for a wide variety of audiences.

Proper documentation is a big part of it, and open channels for IM, like slack.

It's a shame you couldn't have pitched Common Lisp. Maybe could have ported your DSL pretty quickly and wound up having SBCL output nice compiled assembly instructions and shown x% speed improvement without much effort by using a "sister language" of sorts? ABCL in 2011 would have been a harder sell, it only had its 1.0 release that October.

A few years ago another commenter noted they had developed a trading system in Lisp and C https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25222297 (further comments elaborate a bit) before being asked to rewrite it in Java. What keeps less popular languages alive at companies, when there's no forcing reason to get rid of it like really unacceptable performance, is a conviction (borne out as far as I can tell) that it's ok to hire people who don't know the language -- they'll get up to speed more than fast enough.

Its also useful to consider a linearly accelerating chordinate. In such a system, you experience a constant force opposite to the acceleration of chooridanate system. That this fictisous force looks just like gravity (for a sufficiently small test particle) leads you directly to the equivelence principle.

For practical purposes, fictitious forces are mostly useful because they make working in the corresponding coordinate system easier.

they are not handing money to a government official (personally) in order to get what they want, and I want to reserve the word "corruption" for things like that.

Can we call it institutionalized corruption then, when the handing of money to policitians is made legal through PACs?
There's scripts that are advanced and do moderation, say, but you could have an easy keyboard macro that would take a URL and replace it with URL, title, and number of comments.

The second would be a timesaver.
"The first attempts to replicate LK-99, reported in the past days, have not improved the material’s prospects. "
This to me is sort of a summary of Nature's position.

Reframing- there is no reason to change from the default position of skepticism - that the material is uninteresting.

If you ignore the viral hype, and only pay attention to the replication attempts:
They have been rushed.
They lack rigor.
Still, the summation of their findings is reason to think there is something very interesting going on with this material.

I do see some manic hysteria. I understand the urge to push back on that. It's smart to advise people to maintain skepticism. But if you do not think that the replication attempts are an indication that there is something there, I think it's because you have some sort of error in reasoning.
I'm rethinking this after puzzling over it for a minute.

Since it's the average... total sea area shouldn't matter.

Land heats up faster than sea, but likely doesn't transfer much of that heat into the ocean, so the sea:land ratio might be immaterial.

Probably more indicative is what deep to shallow circulation currents exist in the northern vs southern oceans.

From memory, the northern has many more "vertical" circulations, that might lead to cooling surface temperatures.
Honestly even with capitalism most of this still applies.

There's an interview in World At War with a German official that talks about this exact bombing. He says that if the Allies had done this one or twice more, the Nazis would've surrendered. The Nazis main strength was their overwhelming belief that they were destine to easily succeed. It wasn't until this bombing and their failed invasion of Stalingrad that this narrative began to unravel and that was also the beginning of the end of the war.
despite all the bad things and random people using it for ego and stuff, its the best thing that can really happen to tech nowadays.

With all the AI/chatgpt news, a bunch of people got involved in what you call "spectator sport", leading to a whole new set of opportunities and growth, people who would never touch a pc or new software related tech, got involved, others invested, other simple became consumers and every single bit of it its good for the market.

Imagine you are a 15 y.o student right now browsing tiktok with no interest in chemistry whatsoever and suddenly you see a video about this superconductor and you get all hyped and next thing you know is that the student who had no interest on chemistry, now is passionate about it.

If all the LK-99 thing is a fiasco, at least we can say that it somehow helped getting the attention of people who would actually keep investigating and maybe do find the actual superconductor we need. And this can be said about every subject like this.

So yeah, I'm okay getting some random people having nonsense internet discussions.
A K8s control plane inside K8s? There is not enough alcohol on this planet to support this
Correct. Sounding old and slightly senile is what gets them on the hook most effectively.

Unfortunately - when they're calling, they also seem to have all your personal info, and know your name and how old you are. So I put on my best senile guy voice, they confirm my name, and then they hang up.

It's actually quite concerning!
Exactly. It is obvious that the techbros are not cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality.
Discord (and the general chatroom format) won.
It can be quite pragmatic to use it too, there's no need to be religious about it. Even though the term gets criticized for "what about other parts than GNU", "what about Alpine" etc. it's actually a very useful term which makes people know exactly what you mean behind it, which is not something that can be said about "Linux" without providing additional context.
Well, I'm not too surprised. When a product launches in a massive way like this, activity tends to die down over time unless extra work is done to keep the hype going. That's true of everything from a forum to a Discord server to a social network or online multiplayer game. There's a big launch, a honeymoon period early on (a few days to a few weeks), then activity either falls off the face of the Earth or drops down to a more reasonable value with a core community.

The Threads honeymoon period is over, and now we're seeing whether a core community will stick around.

Smalltalk: Object Orientation is not about objects, it's about messaging [video]
Directing people by default, especially ones with ADHD, is equally dangerous. People need to understand the threat to them.

"ADHD types" as I understand, are pretty controversial. If you're going to say that one "type" should not get medicine for a morbid condition, you should have a good reason.

What happens is a substantial percentage of people with ADHD get hurt by a system that uses them, chews them up, and spits them out with nothing, after taking every cent they have. Often times, we die from associated conditions, so it just gets swept under the rug. The industry isn't exactly searching for answers here, so their death is in vein, which infuriates me.

This is a known problem that I'm talking about, because I want it to change. Healthcare for people with ADHD is openly bigoted, degrading, and often harmful.

I'm astonished that despite all the news, conditions for people with ADHD are as bad as ever, and maybe getting worse. I think there's an interesting link to the trans community as well, since some of the psych issue overlap.

It may seem that trans have it better than ever, but they're up against whole armies now. There may be acceptance now, but I can imagine it being even harder to lay low. Mental health is less taboo, but people with ADHD are increasingly being marginalized, told to just give up on their aspirations, and accept life being disabled.
Do the same, less inaccurate thing that every single other car maker has always done and give more accurate range estimations? Something Tesla already does in the route planner, and also show they know how to do as the battery meter gets closer to empty, when they switch out their estimation for more accurate ones?

This isn't difficult. Tesla is not required to use the EPA range estimation figures to do any range estimation internally, it's literally only something that goes on the window sticker. Tesla instead chose to design their range display to do something that no other automaker did, and use a KNOWN OVERESTIMATOR as their methodology for range estimation.

Nobody else has to set up these call centers because nobody else chose to set up their range meters in such a way to mislead customers. It's really that simple.

Challenges with Context Retrieval for Coding Tasks
I think if you have a good mentor or guide in a space where there might be a proprietary system, it’s a lot easier to start being able to do those deep dives.
I found that when people were able to explain the larger context for the question I was asking, I would be able to move along faster and deep dive, but with brief answers that didn’t really go beyond my surface level questions, I ended up having to ask a lot more questions, sometimes finding certain information was never documented.
The important thing to understand is that only the scientific publications in Nature matter. These articles are written by world-class scientists and are taken very seriously. In contrast, the journalism section is akin to any random newspaper. It is generally written by standard journalists and is intended for a mass audience.

Well deserved, I'm looking forward to seeing what Rich does next in his free time. Clojure made me love programming again the same way Python once did (the whole Py3k fiasco soured that).

Has there ever been a global civilization collapse? We seem a bit unprecedented.

I feel that way about string theory. I am merely an airmchair physicist, though I did have a physics minor in college, but it just feels... wrong. Ever more layers of complexity to explain away holes, and no real predictive power. But at least as of ~10-15 (and maybe still today, I have lost touch with that world) years ago, saying this in any serious setting would not make you any friends, nor get you any funding. It feels to me that we have likely squandered decades of brain power going down that hole.

I hope there are still those toiling away doing unpopular work, that can make a breakthrough....
It's been like that since forever. A lot of scientists are so terrified to come across as disrespectful of orthodoxy that they'd never publicly entertain unconventional ideas. The risks of shaming, name-calling ("crackpot", "pseudoscientist", "quack", "fraud", "idiot", "fool") and funding loss constantly loom for a lot of people. And let's not pretend this doesn't have everything to do with money and politics. People and institutions deeply invested in, and cushioned by, status quo norms have every incentive to get nervous about disruption.

I have to admit: I get some satisfaction watching naysayer rationalists get it wrong time and time again. Grumpy, mean people who can't see the big picture for ass but make categorical, reductionist big picture claims (e.g. about impossibilities) under the guise of rationalism, they're quite often just wrong, because the map is not the territory. The longer you cling to a crusty old map, the more likely it is that eventually you'll get lost, though you might never admit it to yourself.

Then there are the people who carefully balance their skepticism with open minded curiosity and a sense of imagination, who are interested and engaged in the social exchange of ideas and perspectives. They're often more quiet, less attention seeking, less worried about determining who's "wrong" and who's "right".

That's why I enjoy Quanta magazine. They profile all kinds of people doing real, interesting, groundbreaking work, people who aren't sitting around playing clout games. They tell stories about the collaborative relationships that make science possible.

The article, and the project page[1] don't do a very good job of explaining WHY the project exists. It definitely explains what it is (an operator for a control plane,) but so what?

There's no general analytical method to solve for a material with specific properties, including superconductivity. The properties of materials are governed by the quantum mechanical behavior of electrons and their interactions with the crystal lattice. These interactions are typically described by the laws of solid-state physics, which involve solving complex quantum mechanical equations for the electrons in a crystalline structure.

For simple systems, such as some low-temperature superconductors and idealized models, researchers can sometimes make analytical approximations or derive simplified equations that describe the behavior of the material. But for most materials, the equations are too complex to solve analytically, and researchers rely on numerical methods, computational simulations, and empirical data to understand and predict material properties.

It's similar to the reason we can't find easy analytical solutions to other complex systems (like models trained via Machine Learning), there are just too many complex factors and interactions to take into account.
It won by:

- losing it’s most passionate advocates and users;

- driving whole communities to its competitors (federated and discord specifically);

- just utterly shredding managements credibility with their users;

- and inspiring a generation of entrepreneurs to engage in building platforms to supplant replace them that definitely would not otherwise exist.

So much winning. Gold star for everyone involved. Case study on how to manage community forthcoming.
In reality, the Nazis didn't surrender until after Berlin was taken and all but a few pockets of resistance were eliminated. The bombings may have let them know things were turning around, but they didn't drop their guns.
