True. But notice the word Debugging is missing there.
And apparently, a lot of them aren't using it.

Sure serious amateurs can do serious science too. However, I have less reason to believe in their results, a priori, because the internet is full of cranks, while University Lab's have proportionally few. So a claim from a lab becomes an extraordinary claim from some rando on twitter, and thus the rando needs to provide extraordinary evidence.
I’ve tried to look for the COBOL and other legacy languages jobs where there is a shortage for. I came short. And the few I found didn’t pay like there was any kind of shortage. There was a lot of willing offshore sweatshops offering their services though.

It's a public utility, it doesn't have to be self-sustainable if it is already covered by taxes, and provides mobility in other ways, e.g. cheap transportation means more to spend on holidays locally. Furthermore, a reduction in car emissions means lower healthcare costs.

Not everything has to make money.
GPLv4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
My skepticism isn't aimed at them

This can be prevented without (net) more involvement... with better use of those existing sessions, perhaps splitting them.

The definitions on that aren't clear - the comments around seem to expect the worst, absent employers abound.

I expect a fairly guided mission, with reports on findings. Questions both ways, Socratic or not.
They can take the value out of it much more easily than printing more. They just need to instruct the central bank to not redeem a deposit for the note. If for some reason a commercial bank continued to accept central bank issued notes, the government can simply require the banks to stop accepting them as a requirement for their banking license.
Melatonin as a treatment for food waste
Getting hit in the thigh even now with the best medical care available is reasonably likely to kill you. Very likely to kill you if they hit the femoral artery. Back then, there was probably not much of a point in even trying to save him.
"It violates the spirit of the open source software movement"

Says a person promoting open core. I have little interest in hearing lectures about the spirit of open source from open core proponents. None, actually.

There are definitely folks who have standing to talk about Red Hat's decisions around distributing GPL'ed code, but if you're out there promoting open core or primarily make your money with proprietary code, you're not in that group.
New Relic to Be Acquired by Francisco Partners and TPG
(This is great news.)

Isn't it funny though, that when we're against something we call it "government", but when we're in favor of something we call it "community" :)
And no CapsLock at all. Bug or feature?
Lol. You’re probably right
I see those youtubers for the most part as well meaning science popularizers, I can't get my kids to read books about the history of science but they'll watch videos about all kinds of interesting stuff all day long if I let them. So they do serve a role and if that's all they contribute then I'm fine with that. But I would come down harshly on anybody that would fake it just for clicks or that would interfere with actual science by spouting unsupported bullshit (this happened a lot during the pandemic).
Would the category of "mid-size star with a large planet" be useful?

We either can have 200M happy ppl living decent lives or 10B poor ppl, struggling for basic things.
That’s common, but it’s also an artifact of how few topics people are experts in.

The chances of two people on HN happening to both be experts in superconductors or even condensed matter physics / automotive design / … is higher than normal. But there’s a rapid drop off in expertise so most people commenting don’t really understand the specifics.

So, rather than people arguing about the tradeoffs of cup holder placement and material choices etc it just devolves into “Ug like tribe! Things good! Back off!”
The only downside is disappointment after great excitement, and the animosity it can create towards the field's viability.
There's no loophole. If you distribute software covered by the GPL, you have to release the source to any person that you distributed the software to, and you have to release it under the same GPL.

The real loophole is enforcement. There's no case law that allows an end user to get standing for GPL software, only the copyright holder can enforce the license.
Not to say that those are the same but they often go hand in hand. The purpose of a robocall is typically just to cast the line, and if they get a bite then a human scam caller will take over.
Covid showed companies new way forward. Cut supply and bump prices, this is the source of all semi shortages. There was no earthquake, no one ran out of rare ingredients, corporations simply cut fab orders.

rpi shortage is a direct result of Broadcom (Avago) deciding to stop manufacturing chips that dont generate hundreds of millions in revenue a year. FPGAs were same deal, post merger Xilinx/Altera cut manufacturing.

I have an OT question for those familiar with such software.

I am interested in characterizing the notes of a particular musical instrument. Meaning, I want to provide it a recording of a single note played once, and it should tell me the base frequency of the note. Then repeat for every note. The goal is to understand how different build dimensions and materials for the instrument effect the frequencies of the notes.

Obviously, I could just do a fourier transform on each recording. But I am wondering if there are specialized libraries or software that make this easier, or do other interesting calculations or visualizations that are currently in my unknown unknowns.
My impression is that there is some leakage, but very small compared to the acid rain problems of the past.

Either way, if acid rain is the price for controlling global warming, I think that is a very desirable trade-off!
Just normal recession from the interest rates.
> providers to offer 25gbit synchronous

What use cases are there for residential (or even most business) connection to be 25Gb/s (or even >10 Gb/s)? Are there 'practical' application for homes or offices to have this much?

At $WORK we have both 10 Gbps to both our office and our DC, and we don't come close to saturating that.

There's really only so many Linux ISOs that you can download at home.

(I'm not "against" having it, just curious on possible uses.)

As someone who watched the long fall and rise of Detroit I read this with considerable amusement. SF is missing an important piece of Detroit's recovery and that is the billionaire Dan Gilbert who invested $5 billion into the city's real estate and who created his own police force to bolster the city's.

Who would be San Francisco's real estate savior? The only guy I can think of would be Elon Musk and the city isn't treating him very well these days.
> "Internet options have always been an absolute joke here."

Yep. You can totally thank the totally corrupt and pretty much borderline criminal Comcast and Centurylink (and their bribe-hungry pet politicians) for that.
As a Comcast customer who's paying 5x what I was paying in Europe for half the bandwidth I want this to succeed. However let's not celebrate a win before actually delivering the service to the customers. There's more to building a business than seed funding it. The pessimistic in me would say if there was a viable path to providing high-speed internet with low cost in the US surely companies with a lot on the line like Netflix, Google, Amazon, etc. would make that happen. If you think it's all Comcast profit margins you can always go and buy Comcast stocks to get your share of that profit. They are doing well but not spectacularly well.
There are some services that have a different resource record in DNS like email (MX) or use SRV records like XMPP but else yes you are forced to either use a different hostname (like www. and ftp. and mail.) or do it port based with NAT like you used to.
That looks like a solid and defensible position to me.
Nature isn't clickbait, but it is not the best journal when it comes to accurately reporting the truth. As we used to joke in grad school, Nature was a great journal to publish the hottest incorrect results, or to write op-eds that influenced old scientists in England.

At the same time I find the incredible enthusiasm and desire to extrapolate the simplest reports into powerful narratives (as a subset of HN people discussing LK-99 do) very depressing. I guess everybody has to go through t heir own Pons and Fleischman or Jessie Gelsinger moments before they understand just how much hype there is in next-gen science.
Well, everything needs money. You're right that some of the money here is extracted from people whether they use the service or not, but it's not great.

> Furthermore, a reduction in car emissions means lower healthcare costs.

Not necessarily - imagine a pandemic where people could only use public transport.
Whoops, yeah my mistake!
Sensationalism? No way, LK-99 will be part of the EmDrive! /s
It looks like 23 July, one day. It got up to about 28 degrees. Between 10-20 July I see nothing hotter than 20 degrees. This is US GFS data. Maybe I'm wrong. Also looking only at BA, it was hotter to the north west

There's high altitude winds from too warm pacific tropic oceans to south america, that is probably involved in the process I think
>Don't you think in those conditions it's at least a little bit reasonable to demand samples?

No. Because ultimately they don't owe anyone anything outside of the standard scientific process. They want to get the peer reviewed article published, and have stated that if people still want samples after that they will provide them.

Half of twitter shitposting about FLOAT THE ROCK and a bunch of curious scientists and engineers attempting to replicate this doesn't fundamentally change this equation. If it's a superconductor now, it'll be a superconductor in 6 months.

None of the media hype or unwashed masses treating this as science entertainment should significantly impact the process they are going through. Assuming they've got an RTAPS, they'll get the Nobel Prize regardless of whether or not they satisfy everyone's curiosity right this moment or a year from now. Assuming they don't have one, well, that'll get found out too.
It is true, yet I can't reconcile the fact the overall excitement and optimism this generates, vs. the lukewarm and skepticism towards news about advance in other hard problems such as fusion, battery, self-driving, space exploration, cancer treatment, Alzheimer treatment.

I get that disappointment in the past make people jaded. Weren't there false hope in superconductor as well? Or are people here too young to have experienced that?

Whats your definition of top comment?

Cause they certainly don't include the word "Twitter Killer" [1] with the first 2 not even talking about twitter and the third still talking about how people would use twitter.

Oh man and the 4th comment is complaining about a lack of web version and the 5th one outright says "My gut feeling no one will care about Threads, 6 months from now.".

>This is simply what post-peer-review looks like.

No, this is a new face for peer review. Existing peer review processes have stagnated in the information age, possibly with good reason. There are a lot of advantages to more immediate review of papers and data, and also to bypassing the systems of qualifications presently used to choose who is a valid reviewer.
Greetings from Austria!

We have a similar thing going on where you can buy an every-train-and-other-public-transport-in-Austria ticket. It is called the "climate ticket" ( https://www.klimaticket.at/ )

The price is EUR 1.095/year for regular adults (1.205 for the family ticket [=1 adult + up to 4 kids] and 825 for youth/seniors)

I'm a happy owner since it's 2 year existence and have recently been baffled by the prices DB is asking when I did a trip to Berlin by ICE...

It's a great peace of mind to just hop onto any bus/tram/train in the country and not have to worry about tickets, and i think it's a great step towards getting more traffic from the streets to the rail.
Yeah, but, I’m reading this and that won’t be an issue where I live. So it must be something else that will kill everyone reading this decades earlier.
Conserving them only slows the rate of rot.

There's some truth to helping generate repeat business, but even with a 100% yearly rotation rate that's a 17 year cycle to see everything without counting new additions. I doubt people are going to lose interest because two years prior to the new showing they could have traveled to Oklahoma City to view it.
Holy moly, undeads in action.
I saw Lightning trucks going upwards of 40k over list. It was ridiculous, definitely won't be buying anything from that company any time soon. I think the dealers are entrenched middle men and it's time for more competition all around.
> did you even read the article?

Yup. No offence taken.

> What part of the article is not about C++ and macOS?

None of it.

But what part /is/ about debugging that?

None of it.
I've recently seen some interesting intersections between game theory twitter* and LLM advances so here's my prediction:

Zero-determinant strategies applied to call handling. You want to cancel your subscription for a crappy thing? Your conversational tactics and state of mind during the call can be mapped to a large matrix and solved for you not being able to cancel and not having any legal recourse and thinking the outcome was your own idea.

*(Edit: mostly no longer on twitter)
Makes sense to try to remove any frictions from public transport - if not making it an enjoyable and desirable experience
Cash registers are essentially a vault and all an employee has to do to protect the money inside is to close the drawer. Self-checkout machines are even better, because there is no "drawer" and they only spit out money as change, which is never more than the amount you put in.

> Yeah but companies aren't thinking entities themselves

They don't need to be. They are automata with emergent behavior independent from the individual humans comprising them - paperclip maximizers in a very literal sense. The overly-simplistic "corporate decisions are just human decisions" take entirely ignores corporate policies, material interests, and countless other drivers of corporate decisionmaking with zero dependence on any particular actual human.
I like to point this out in relation to Star Trek. In TNG, they had tablet computers, replicators, teleportation, voice command, all these things that we consider future magic or current awesome technology. And then an away team goes down to the surface and pulls out a flashlight using an incandescent bulb that can barely be seen.

LEDs are genuinely revolutionary in a way everyone just kind of overlooks.
Yes but we can try to be selective about what we treat as a meme. People have that ability, although it is diminishing with the speed of communication these day.
ugh, how come people can bet on stupid shit like baseball but they can't bet on important shit like superconductors?
A lot of HN users are strongly biased towards one conclusion and just want see things fail (in this case Twitter) because it somehow (what?) validates their opinion.

I called that Threads would day one week from launching in one of the comment sections and what a surprise… nobody cares to use another Twitter clone.
Oslo wouldn't even crack the top 25 in population based on US cities. As a country, its also way less diverse and 1% of the total population size of the US. Comparing anything in the US to what is done in Nordic countries is generally a losing argument.
We had CenturyLink for over 20 years here. They recently sold us to Brightspeed who raised our monthly fee to $60 for what's really the very lowest end of "Highspeed" access (if that). The first thing Brighspeed did was throttle our bandwidth.

Our local electric co-op (White River Valley Electric Cooperative) is currently laying fiber optic lines to all the homes and businesses they serve now and will be offering real high speed internet (gb both up/down) next year for $30 a month to all their customers first, and then those who are not that live in the area.

When we moved here in the 90s and bought our home we really didn't think about who was providing our electricity, but we've learned since there is a huge difference.

Just this week we had a vicious storm that blew power poles down and 1000s were without power. Our power was back on in around 36 hours, others nearby were down for 3+ days.

Those who live outside the co-op are paying more than twice as much for power depending on the time of day and load on the grid.

We have a flat rate that's lower than their lowest rates.

Is Archive.is an NSA Honeypot?

Probably not? FSB could make more sense if we were to postulate on a theory

This is probably on par with the theories that DDG is run by Mossad but their admins are on HN and could probably suggest how that rumor started because I honestly don't know.

Regarding Archive.is, aside from the embedded link to mail.ru nullified by uBlock and refusing to answer DNS queries from CloudFlare it just seems like an archive site to me. One advantage to running something like archive.is would be getting an almost rss-like submission of interesting links which could just as easily be obtained by monitoring HN, Reddit, Tweeter and related sites. They can only archive public sites and the only exception is their ability to get around some pay-walls. I think their admin may be on HN and I may have interacted with them on here yesterday when they corrected something but I will let them answer if that is truly the case.

I suppose another theoretical advantage would be redirecting that mail.ru link for targeted IP addresses or user-agents to infect someone. This could potentially tie into why one might want to block Cloudflare as CF may detect the bait-and-switch links and/or make it harder to target someone with a 0-day/NIT?

The 3 letter agencies and agencies with no name already have unfettered access to all public content and most private content along with secure chat communications, emails, bank transactions, corporate transactions and so much more. If anything I would expect state agencies to very much dislike all the archive sites as they can interfere with government influenced media narratives meaning one can see when news articles are edited or retracted or otherwise memory-holed... So maybe that could be the angle, that they can archive sites that talk about specific narratives for specific countries and potentially purge content for specific countries. Has anyone witnessed and created a snap-shot of this occurring?

This is all theory of course but I have no evidence of a conspiracy. I will continue to use archive.is until there is evidence as it is one of the few ways to make sites readable for me.
The cost of losing is small and the cost of restarting again is small. Meanwhile, the potential upside of even one call netting a sale is very large. I reckon two calls netting sales would have paid for this fine.

We have hucksters abusing legitimate business structures. I think we need an “in good faith” escape clause for LLCs that captures folks that abuse them.
1) Low UI latency - I think this is partly why I dislike electron apps

2) Good UX (same principles apply everywhere)

3) Does something useful

4) Easy to install it and easy to pay for it (I love paying for apps, but only when it's easy. App Store payments are easy, Apple Pay or Stripe on web is easy. I don't want to pay until I know the app is good, but then I'm happy to pay after that - so either a small payment up front, or a larger payment after a trial. And I think it shouldn't let me get too much value for free!)

Some notes:

I used sublime text for ages before paying because their payment process wasn't how I prefer to pay. I'm used to the convenience of apple pay or shopify pay or amazon buy with one click, and prefer things that are similarly easy to buy. (I finally bought it after a while.)

Apps I pay for: Rewind.app, 1Password, TextSniper (might've been free, can't remember), ClipBar (might've been free, can't remember), Sublime Text, Spotify, Time Out. Free apps I use and like: Discord, Telegram, native macOS apps like Messages and Notes and Safari and Reminders and FaceTime, VLC, iTerm2, Chrome.
> you'll know just how slow memory allocation is

Just a small nitpick, but allocation is definitely not slow in case of the JVM, it is often faster than manually managed languages. It is a pointer bump only.

All the necessary mechanisms of a GC does have an overhead, so your point stands, but not for the mentioned reason.
What about the sound of (metal) doors/hatches opening. It's mostly the same squeaking noise. Why? What is it called?
I dunno, but if it's so simple, why don't you try and then let us know if it's actually easy or not, as well as the results you get!
Personally I used Apollo, and when Apollo stopped working I never looked for an alternative. I’d like to say it was out of principle or solidarity but the truth is I know the default Reddit app is horrible and I don’t have the patience to find an alternative. I’m just lazy.

Reddit isn’t that valuable to me. I’ll probably download my comments from all my accounts and maybe train an LLM on them or something, but overall I’ve basically accomplished nothing on Reddit other than a couple posts to Data Is Beautiful.

It will happen just slow enough for people to get used to it and not panic. And then it will be the new normal. Humans can adapt to terrible situations.

> you have to release the source to any person that you distributed the software to, and you have to release it under the same GPL.

And this same GPL allows them to further distribute the software to third parties. If you're threatening and intimidating people not to do so, you're subverting the terms of the license.
You could make a 75% version, but it would not be quite as nice :-)
