The problem here is authority. What makes you an authority on a subject? Books written? Credentials (diploma?)? References?

These things aren't all true in real life, and on the internet it's even easier to fake all of that.

In the beginning Google went by 'amount of text' (which is why you read everybody's life story on how they had sex next to a magma flow in Hawaii which created the idea of doing burnt ends on a pizza stone), references (remember all those backlinks which would boost your page). Credentials are a lot harder to track. There is no API at my school where you can put in my name and see my credentials (and all you'd see is 'we got governments subsidies for this person, which is why we let him pass').

And all of this worked at the start. Knowledgeable people naturally had references on the web, as only knowledgeable people were on the web.

Now we literally have people writing text purely to make it look like their website has more content on them, even if it is remotely related to what they serve.

Great example, even posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36740400

Or any coding problem where you end up on logrocket / some partitioning app / some generated website with which has an 'answer' for KB0000000 -> KB9999999...
You don't actually need a drivers license to buy a car. You need a drivers license to use one on public roads, and you'll probably need some form of government ID to register and insure the car, and the dealer might ask for some sort of ID to verify your identity, but you don't need a drivers license just to buy one.
Point taken. But things sold by Apple must have an immediate, easy-to-digest appeal. Is it possible here ?
This is an announcememt of a partnership, why would they talk about some technical details?
This is just a 403.

I asked my dentist about this (someone who has never done any major work on me despite 20+ years of the option to do so) and he said that insurance reimbursements are such that you need to do X amount of work per Y patients to make money.

With him, I pay a 50% premium on the regular dentistry, well above what insurance will pay. Worth it, but makes sense.
Creating a Result as in this blog post is an anti-pattern, for the reasons pointed out in the article. The best pattern that is available today is to continue to use an error union for the return type, and accept a mutable "diagnostics" parameter where it stores extra useful information about failures.
Nintendo? but that's more "publisher who curates external- or internal-studios who largely stay in the same genre each"
But novelty IS what makes those journals nice and prestigious in the first place. It is the basis of their reputation.

It's basically a catch 22. We want replication in prestigious journals, but any Journal with replications becomes less novel and prestigious.

It all comes down to what people value about journals. If people valued replication more than novelty, replication journals would be the prestigious ones.

It all comes back to the fact that doing novel science is considered more prestigious than replication. Institutions can play all kinds of games to try to make it harder for readers to tell novelty apart from replication, but people will just find new ways to signal and determine the difference.

Let's say we pass a law that prestigious journals must published 50% replications. The Prestige from publishing in that journal will just shift to publishing in that journal with something like first demonstration in the title or publishing in that journal Plus having a high citation or impact value.

It is really difficult to come up with the system or institution level solution when novelty is still what individuals value.

As long as companies and universities value innovation, figure out ways to determine which scientists are innovative, and value them more
Yes I agree that this is novel and a new frontier in software.
Same for me, I avoid subscriptions as much as possible.

I’m ok with the model of TablePlus however: pay for a license, it’s valid for a year, and at the end of the year you keep the current version available forever but no more updates. And you get a discount if you decide to renew your license
Modern turbines can extract at most about 50% of the energy passing though the disc. The physical limit is the Betz limit, just a shade under 60%. Even if you could arrange them just so (which you can't, because circles don't tessellate and wind directions vary), you'd only be able to get that from the wind at the height of the discs, from a single rank. Mixing from air that went over (or under) the turbine entirely would restore quite a bit of the wind after some distance. The biggest turbine in the world, installed about a month ago off the Fujian coast, has a disc 250m across, centred about 150m from the sea, so it's still only a small fraction of the depth of moving air.

By one estimate there's about 250TW of "extractable" power (after which you can add turbine capacity but the whole ensemble doesn't produce more power, and the global wind speeds after saturation would be 50% lower). Humanity uses roughly 10TW, so even if we used wind for everything, it would only be a small fraction of the energy in the moving air.

That paper also has calculations of the effects of a single wind turbine averaged across a 5km area (tl;dr: sub-0.5% downstream wind speed change)

I think Steam bandwidth use peaked at 146.3 Tbps at launch time... With majority of it coming from people downloading BG3...
I had a very similar experience in my masters. Really made me think, what exactly are the peers “reviewing” if they don’t even know whether the technique works in the first place.
I'm not the same person you asked, but I find Clojure to be as easy to read as Scheme, but harder to write, since I need to remember what punctuation to use where.
The comment was about teeth, though, and flour/meal is abrasive, though. Not to the degree it was in prehistoric times--dental health went to hell during the transition to sedentarism, thought mostly to be due to milling introducing rocks etc. to the meal--but, setting aside that both are nutritionally probably not great, it stands to reason that the stuff mentioned in that blog post (mostly grain-derived) have more ways to stick to the surface of teeth and hang around to mess up mouth pH.
Although to be fair, the next paragraph says, "Surprisingly, Google offers a similar deal. The company collects and uses your personal data for targeted advertising, but it doesn’t sell it to third-party advertisers. So it means advertisers can pay Google or Apple to be seen on your iPhone or Android device. However, the advertisers can’t know who you are and come after you on their own."

I just find Google to be an advertising company that happens to produce software.
>> It doesn't really matter if you see the best doctor in the world, if they can't spent the time and money running the tests you need you're not going to get a good diagnosis.

Everyone in the UK should get to experience a private consultation just once. The difference between the rushed 10mins you get with the NHS and the considered 30mins you get private is amazing. You leave feeling like you’ve been taken care of and all your questions have been answered. It’s only when you see this you can see just how bad the quality of care in the NHS is at the moment. We need to stop equating the NHS with the people that work for it and start calling it out for how god awful it is. We’ve made it a dirty that can’t be criticised properly when it sorely needs to be.
The pricing looks like SaaS only. I'm happy to pay a one-time fee for software (even when it doesn't include future versions), but not a subscription, unless of course there is a common sense benefit to a subscription (like paying for additional support on top of the fixed price).

Anyways, once taking the time to re-read the pricing screen subtleties it is sort of a one-time fee (billed as one year of subscription to gain indefinite use), so kudos to the developer, but I have to say it's really non-obvious to me at least.

Also the availability of a community edition is great, but again non-obvious.
For every development like this, you have the other side of the coin like the article also on the front page about Zoom using AI without any opt-out. Playing with fire indeed.
This waste of effort by way of duplicating unpublished negative results is a big factor in why replicated results deserve to be rated more highly than results that have not been replicated regardless of the prestige of the researchers or the institutions involved… if no one can prove your work work was correct… how much can anyone trust your work…

I have gone down the rabbit hole of engineering research before and 90% of the time I’ve managed to find an anecdote or subsequent research footnotes or actual subsequent research publications, that substantially invalidated the lofty claims of the engineers in the 70s or 80s (which is amazing still despite this, a genuine treasure trove of research unused and sometimes useful aerospace engineering research and development) and unfortunately outside the few proper publications, a lot of the invalidations are not properly reverse cited research material and I could have spent a week cross referencing before I spot the link and realise the unnamed work they are saying they are proving wrong is actually some footnotes containing the only published data (before their new paper) on some old work that has a bad scan copy on the NASA NTRS server under some obscure title and no related keywords to the topic the research is notionally about…

Academic research can genuinely suck sometimes… particularly when you want to actually apply it.

Are you me? Was this dentist in Fremont, WA?

I finally found a good dentist, but it was after I chipped one during the pandemic. It was never was done right in the first place, or the second place when I had it fixed. Lost that tooth unfortunately.

But after ten years with no dentistry, I had only one other cavity, and of course some light gingivitis. They did not have an idea I hadn’t been for over ten years.

I had great insurance at the time, and I was so shocked that I didn’t get a second opinion. After many years of retrospect, I have deep fissures which I got sealed years ago, and I suspect this hack saw shadows and assumed cavity instead of looking, because almost of the cavities she found were in the molars.

If the news is awful always get several opinions. One person may know better ways to handle it.
>I don't recall what it was like years ago but I'm pretty sure it is worse.

It's absolutely worse today, how much worse depends on how far back you go.

Before 2005 Google didn't put ads in search results, AdWords results were separated off to the right side of the page to make them clearly distinct from organic search results.
Fixed - Thanks for pointing this out!

>it is going to have a long and slow stagnation.

How slow? "Japanification" is 1% growth.[0] That's ridiculus for a growing economy. I can't take the claim that China will have 1% growth seriously. If you mean "stagnate at 6%," my claim is that 6% is "enough" for a low middle imcome economy, Cf. Japan in 1970. So your claim in that case is wrong that it will be "a big deal." At most we can say that China will reach a mid-1980 Japan level economy more slowly than Japan and Korea. However this is very different from the claim that China is 1990 Japan, or that "China might never catch up with the US," implying that China will always be third world (although we can debate the meaning of that sentence).

While that's true, you would need to show evidence that factor A is more important than B in order to show that A is not a deciding factor.

Factor B being "the loved languages are better languages"... I would say there's ample evidence that better languages are far from being more popular, and hence loved... Lisp is probably the poster child of _better languages_ according to many people, including me, but there are many others: Smalltalk, OCaml, Haskell, Erlang. Not to mention that showing conclusively that a language is "better" than another is incredibly hard, probably impossible as it just depends on too many factors, many of which are subjective. So your factor B is basically unmeasurable, which makes factor A a much more useful metric (easy to measure and arguably reliable until shown otherwise).
Thanks for the clarification!

Maybe I’m using the wrong term, but when installing Docker, you need root access, and not for Podman. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think it’s possible to install Docker if you’re not root on the machine?
I'm curious to know more about the VM host machine that they plugged 15 e1000 cards into to test this limitation. And even more curious about the non-test environment in which somebody ran into this limitation.

I can only imagine trying to passthrough 20 nvme devices to a guest, but it seems like a very weird configuration.
Yeah I wouldn't break them up but they are anticompetitive which is what was asked.
That sounds anticompetitive to me. But I understand that proving criminal anticompetitive behavior is extremely difficult under US law, which is why it almost never happens. And companies as large as Google can outpunch regulators on legal spending, paying ex-government lawyers millions per year to work around the rules.
Never seen one. Says "Heart rate sensor" on the description - does that entail the tip of a sphere design on its back? Can I use contactless payments with it?

I didn't mean to make my post about Apple - but generally about a specific feature set watch:)
Tooling and space makes a massive difference. While it's true that a master could build/cook something amazing with subpar tooling, efficiency goes down significantly.
A lot of it is also that lots of big AAA non-live-service games were delayed by the lockdowns of 2020 and this year is when their releases have all piled up.
Well, if you "don't count inflation", why stop there? Might as well count it in even more favorable ways.

I wondered if there might be a good reason for it, but you just snarkily rephrasing what I quoted tells me there probably isn't -- so it's a loss. Because inflation is not something you can just ignore, when I buy something with money I don't get asked if I want the money to be counted as 1980 money or whatever, it's always "now" money. If by the time the loans get paid back inflation ate up the profit, there is no profit, and the criticism of it socializing loss while keeping profits private remains valid.
I suppose it depends how hard you hoard loot... It is quite bad and filters are slightly lacking if you really collect it to pawn to vendors.
you'd think Western economists and enlightened HN readers might have even a single moment of introspection after being consistently wrong about China for years

but I suppose the perpetual condescending and underestimating is preferable to the typical violent modus operandi
> But it’s probably too soon to worry about that when Zig doesn’t have a package manager yet.

Just fyi in case you haven't seen the news, It launched with 0.11 release a couple of days ago.
Few people actually want pure EV cars. It's decades before anyone who doesn't have a house or hours of free time to spend at charging stations can reasonably use full EVs. Hybrid make the most sense now. Brand also means a lot. I don't care what tesla does, I get too nauseated at the thought of giving elon money. Even before EVs, domestic vs foreign brand name made a huge difference, especially for non-city folks. In some states, you see a ton of huge pickups that are the opposite of enviornmental friendly. Ford and the like, with the brandname and EV/hybrids that look and feel like gas equivalents will dominate those consumers and in the city good luck making EVs apartment friendly.

You have entire generations of people who can't buy a house despite decent salary. Spending money on inconvenient pure EVs makes no sense to them. For most, they would want to opportunistically use the EV component of hybrids.

Having ridden in plenty of Teslas (thanks Uber! Lol) their build quality feels cheap, they look terrible after using them 5+yrs, to me at least they are less comfortable than jeep or nissan even, the whole touch screen thing is too unintuitive. They seem to be the car for "i like the idea of cool tech" people. I am sure they will continue to do well but I am willing to bet everything I own that they will not "kill" legacy car companies. They are just not too disruptive enough, and at least a quarter of the population would reject the cars purely because the owner is a massive ahole.
D students have to work somewhere too.
I actually agree with you on this (having ads in a community full of supporters of open source and anti-capitalism is a bad idea), but I think the dev has already run the number and decides going with ad-supported model and $20 permanent ad-removal IAP is the only way to make enough profit to sustain full-time development given (currently) low number of lemmy users right now (100,000 active users is too small market to profitably sell $3 apps). I subscribed to sync ultra to support the dev, and hopefully if the dev is able to sustain himself from subscriptions, he might be more open to removing ads in the free version later.
Ask HN: What micro-services work best?
There is a lot of discussion on if micro-services are worth having or which tech stacks to use, but I’ve been curious recently if anyone has good examples of specific micro-services that have worked well within their own startups/companies?

I’m especially interested if you’ve felt there was a good separation of data from each service and what the service specifically did (identity management, email marketing, or more). Did it turn out two services were secretly one and you merged them later? Did you split any out? Also did you use a lot of message queuing services and did you find it necessary or too much overhead?

(A bit of background: I’m working on a service that is a collaborative editor like Google Docs with shared drive/files per organization and I’m currently thinking through the service boundaries. Thank you!)
There is no more comfortable flight than a bench made out of webbing, a lunch in a cardboard box, a pair of ear defenders, and absolutely zero in-flight announcements. Only words I heard the entire flight were: "Sir, wake up. We are on the ground now."
I felt the same way as you do, and didn't go in until I knew there was a problem... Turns out I had quite a few hidden cavities, and at least a couple were severe enough to be worried about. I found myself wishing I'd gone in at least once in a while for a checkup, even if I didn't actually get a cleaning. I'm sure I would have gotten occasional or regular cleanings as well, though, and I'd probably be better off for it.

In short, I'd do it differently if I were doing it again. But I certainly would never take it to the level that most people do.
Yeah, Nintendo is the publisher in most of those scenarios. The individual studios, including Nintedo, tend to just iterate from what I can see.
Devote Yourself to the Cause of Your Life
Both are ridiculous.
I don’t think the existence of papers that are difficult to replicate undermines the value of replicating those that are easier.
I forget which of the cooking sites I got it from but the gist was that spreading out the rice on a baking sheet for a few hours was fine without fussing around with overnights in refrigerators. And, with a rice cooker, it's not a big deal to do the same thing a couple days later if you want to as opposed to saving your rice.

(Leftover fried rice microwaves pretty well too so it's a pretty good candidate for leftovers whether a full meal or a light lunch.)
If I had to guess a lot of people view the article as ethno-politically motivated instead of just involving science.

And we choose to downvote to depict what we want HN to represent rather risk getting piggy backed with “how dare you” rebuttals and downvoted as I’m sure I’m about to receive…

I have a giant bag of Aji-No-Moto in my pantry. It’ll last me the rest of my life because I use it sparingly. And I do so because it seems like we truly don’t know if msg is harmless. I couldn’t imagine a synthetic food product being harmless but that’s obviously my uneducated guess.

It frustrates me that there’s people out there who think I can’t hold those opinions without being labeled some sort of Xenophobe.

That’s the problem I have with this article being on HN of all places.
> In a healthy org you will be promoted because you are delivering value more efficiently, not because you are grinding more and more hours.

Everywhere I've worked promotions are handed out by brown nosing. While, yes, you need to have a baseline of skill it's not nearly as much as one might expect. You can hit senior while being a junior if you sniff enough of your boss' farts.

>You’d be surprised how few employees really understand how their work translates to business value

That's really irrelevant in my experience. Sure some places may be different I haven't worked at every single employer. I've done the enterprise, mid-sized, mom and pop, and start up gauntlet both as a contractor and a full-time employee and it's not been much different regardless of the company.

>how things could be done better with the same amount of effort will make one much more upwardly mobile.

I don't care how much better something can be done. I care about a paycheck. I've pushed myself to near burnout for jobs before (plural) and you know what happened? Nothing but more work added to the pile.

So at the end of the day I do the bare minimum required to hit my metrics. The people that put in the hours are surprised when we get the same raise. In some cases, people that do less than me get promoted and then have to figure out why they took on so much more work and responsibility for barely an increase in salary. It's laughable.

Butt-in-seat time, as you put it, is the metric nearly everywhere actually cares about. Status go yellow? Where were you and why were you AFK?

So, sure, I guess you could say that I've only ever worked for clueless management but in my experience all management is clueless. I've never worked anywhere IT or not, nor have I ever known someone personally who has worked anywhere, that management could turn the lights on in the morning without help. That's just what management is. The people who can do the job are doing the job. The people that can't get promoted to management.
There are 365.25 days in a year so insurance policy is quite generous in fact.
I must have taken the TGV a hundred times in my life, and high speed trains elsewhere in Europe several times. I have never been through a security check. The only time I had to, it was the Eurostar. I don't know what you are talking about or where your information is coming from.
Wow. In Sweden, ”frequent” would be every second year.
I switched to importing novamin based toothpaste from Canada and it’s greatly improved my teeth. Used to be sensitive when chewing and it’s all gone now until I run out and have to use normal toothpaste.
There’s a process that is approved in Europe but not in the US last I looked. Involves UV light (or was it ozone?) and a bag over your tooth full of intense fluorine to first kill the cavity and then remineralize it. No drill.
