>LK-99 is a quasi two-dimensional material,

Hey, what does this actually mean? Like, space is 3D and I don't think you're claiming all LK99 samples are all literally-one-atom-thick, so clearly it's a 3D object.

I'd guess it means that the material has very regular layers, but (much like graphene) I've never actually seen someone directly say what "two-dimensional material" means 3-dimensionally.
how did you come up with number 9 from this post?

fwiw, all the people who dont read the articles, 9 isnt in there.

Yeah, I wonder, too. There's plenty of possible reasons that involve someone in the Bulls front office having more budget than sense at best or getting a kickback at worst, but I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure the people selling the game gave a hard sell.
I'm just reading through the wikipedia page on this for the first time.

Does JPEG XL allow encoders to switch between the DCT and modular modes on a per-macroblock basis, or is it just on a per-channel basis?

If it's the former then I can see this offering a lot of utility over other image formats because you'd be able to disable the DCT on high-contrast macroblocks and finally be done with all those god-awful "checkerboard" artifacts around the edges of objects.

But if it's merely on a per-channel basis then I'm not sure I see what the point of this is since I can already use a different format when I need lossless encoding; If anything JXL would become an annoyance because I can't tell if a JXL image is lossless or not based on the file's extension.
MyTimer v0.8: A Geeky Timer for Terminal Enthusiasts
I appreciate the intent here, but these are the immediate issues that leap to mind:

* "Do work, but get paid only if we use it" feels potentially exploitative. You do mention a "base pay" rate but I wonder how it compares to the "merged PR" rate?

* Code quality and adherence to internal code standards is challenging for external contributions. Open source projects, of course, are already used to this, so it's not surprising to see that's where the bulk of your current customer base lives; it's more difficult to see how this would work with other types of organization -- I'd be concerned that I'm spending more time in code review and such than I'd gain in contributed lines of code.

* The whole setup seems to fit in an uncomfortable middle ground between just hiring an offshore developer directly or through a traditional outsourcing firm, on the one hand; and hourly piecework on the other. The only advantage I see to this sort of arrangement on the hiring end compared to regular old long-contract outsourcing is that I don't have to pay for work I don't end up using, but that circles me right back to the "exploitative" part.
By everything you mean an extremely narrow slice of hardware and software works -- which admittedly are widely used and can give the false sense of "everything".

But https://xkcd.com/619/ is just as true today in spirit: mainstream multimedia has serious issues. Bluetooth often just doesn't work, forget about any decent resolution from any streaming service.

Heaven forbid you wanted to dock to an eGPU, might as well reboot because you need to restart your apps anyways.

Nah. Life is too short to struggle with this.

O&O ShutUp10++ handles the telemetry. Way easier to deal with that once then constantly struggle with Linux.
Conceptually the idea of a "VST" works on either platform, because VST is an API. However, VSTs are distributed as executables targeting a specific platform, and almost no VSTs are compiled natively for Linux.

If you're already content with Reaper as a DAW, use "yabridge" which runs VSTs in WINE. It's virtually perfect for most purposes. Getting Linux audio set up for low latency is another Linux rabbit hole, though.
Jitsi's free SaaS is a great resource to have available but it's not really viable for many many (most?) use-cases. Apart from general stability issues (which is in fairness are always improving) the biggest blocker is the "Video turned off to save bandwidth" message that you will inevitably receive on any call with more than 2 members. This doesn't seem in my experience to just be something that occurs occasionally due to load - it's very consistent. Nor is there any option to override it (e.g. a call with 5 participants where 4 have turned off video will still experience this on the 5th participant - video can't be re-enabled once you see this).

If this were a limitation of a free plan, with a paid option offering higher bandwidth, that would be cool, but the only paid options they offer are app integrations starting at $100/mo for 300 users.
I'll go out on a limb and propose that end-to-end encryption and many-to-many real-time multimedia communication are two things that aren't often combined in a single product.

No need to go full polygamy. After WW II (or the Great Patriotic War), USSR didn't exactly became polygamous but put policies to support single motherhood, that works too.

Quoting https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/dv3u8t/what_...

"The shortage of men also meant a very important shift, in which the Soviets worked to try and both destigmatize single-motherhood by increasing state benefits they could receive and featuring mothers of ambiguous marital status in propaganda, while also tacitly encourage even married men to sleep around by preventing the single mothers from suing the father for child support, and making it harder for their irate wives to divorce them. The result being that many men would have numerous affairs, and even unmarried men would often bounce from relationship to relationship."

The interbellum period in France and Germany also saw an increase in sexual freedom leading to more single mothers, without going to polygamy.

It's certainly not designed by anyone who has the first clue about piano engineering.

The rich sound of a real piano is created by acoustic chorusing, direct acoustic coupling between the various strings, and also by indirect coupling between the bridge, metal frame, and sound board. This works best when the strings are parallel and fairly close together, with some overlap in the bass.

The entire assembly is tuned acoustically to highlight some notes more than others - for example Steinways have a powerful bass but a relatively controlled mid-range which brings out the details of the playing. Other brands make other choices.

The design of the action - the playing feel - is not at all trivial.

And good luck designing practical damper pedals for a spiral piano.
Right now gas stations operate in a cutthroat industry. The price is mounted on big signs visible from the street, and people will irrationally drive across town to save 10 cents per gallon.

Once 90% of gas stations go away, that dynamic will be gone. Few gas stations mean there won't be the same level of price competition, so they'll be able to survive on much less volume. And there will be always be some demand for gasoline from classic cars, et cetera.

Why would inequality be the important metric, and not absolute quality of life? If we killed a few billionaires, there would be less inequality in America, but I don't think anyone's life would actually be better for it.

It's present on Kagi as well, but less so than on Google.
One example that comes to mind for me and is pretty well documented is the defund police movement. The black population in the US overwhelmingly wants more police on the streets in their communities. The movement was popularized by a small minority of the very fringe view. Other people joined thinking they were standing in solidarity with the back community, but we're actually working against it's desires.
It's not unethical at all. If we can make ovaries which are indistinguishable from cisfemale ovaries, and do the same for a womb, then there is no issue.

I like the aspiration to grow engineers — it’s a laudable, and worthy, goal.

But I also feel there is a little bit of a pandora’s box here.

The model you’re creating here is more structured ‘gig economy’ path for software dev. Sure, you’ve got things like UpWork, and other freelance products, but the purchasers (e.g., business) are effectively taking a risky bet on the work which can tamper commitment to purchasing work that way.

But with ‘no merge, no fee’ could create a very strange dynamic where companies will opportunistically throw work over the wall and create bounty-like dynamics. I don’t know if this is particularly bad for the purchaser, but for the seller that could lead to some challenges overtime (race to the bottom etc)
The trouble is that we are using base 10 literals together with base 2 numbers. If you had base 35 literals and base 35 numbers or whatever it would be OK. All I'm asking for is literals that match the numbers I am using. If my float literals were like

431*2^-9

where 2^-9 is 1/512 there would be no semantic gap here.

The fact that you find it so hard to get what I am talking about isn't reflective of your intelligence, it is that this is something that strikes people where they are absolutely weakest, where the gap between the map and the territory can leave you absolutely lost. That's what is so bad about it.

Of course that is why computer professionals suffer with the "grind" and "nerd" slurs, because we tolerate things like the language that puts the C in Cthulhu.

Personally I think Cantor's phony numbers suck and it is an insult that we call them "real" numbers. It's practically forgotten that Turing discovered the theory of computation not by investigating computation but by confronting the problem that there are two kinds of "real" numbers: the ones that are really real because they have names (e.g. 4, sqrt(2), π) and the vastly larger set of numbers that can never be picked out individually (e.g. any description of how to compute a number has to be finite in length but the phony numbers are uncountable.)

I wish Steve Wolfram would grow some balls and reject the axiom of choice.

If evening peak loads become an issue then power companies can incentivise people to use less by raising the price at peak, and/or lowering it at off-peak times. And the software in the car can schedule charging to take advantage of cheaper prices. For example, you might plug in at 6pm, but the car will know to not start the charge until after 10pm, for example, or whenever power becomes cheaper.
hey, good to hear from you
We should have ISO standard Arduino-like modules, that can do most of the smarts for stuff, not change them for 25 years(We can add models or replace with equivalents, but we stay LTS), and design our stuff around them.

Then we'd have something to stockpile that wasn't a single source soon to be obsolete thing, and we'd solve a lot of right to repair issues.

We should be assuming that the whole tech industry is both fragile and a high value target not only in wartime, but by Kaczynski types, and also is even at risk of fading away and being forgotten at least partially.

It doesn't seem like much thought at all is going towards preventing the collapse.
That’s precisely my point. I don’t care how rich the 1% are. I care about my quality of life.

I want an economic system that optimizes the latter, not one that reduces inequality.

Communism is a great example of an economic system aimed at reducing inequality. What it actually achieves is making everyone equally poor.

> As it stands, many balked at a one time cost of $20

For clarity, it's not a one time cost, it's a subscription cost, so $17 per year is what it shows inside my copy. I grant there is also a $99 "lifetime" option that is a one time payment, but my experience has been that "lifetime" means the lifetime of the business, not my lifetime

I don't meant to take any issue with the rest of the comments about needing to put food on their table, just that some folks in the syncforlemmy community itself even were complaining about the ongoing payment being harder to swallow that just paying for the app once like how most in-app purchases work for a situation like this
F# is similar in that it supports lazy sequences but is mostly eager otherwise, and often handles errors using exceptions. One does have to be careful, but the benefits far outweigh the risks in my experience.

That's not a coherent reason? The guy operating a corner store isn't taking your money to Threadneedle Street, so why would he care where the notes are issued? His bank knows these notes are the same as the English ones, for them it makes no difference. Legal tender is irrelevant, you note that Scottish notes aren't legal tender in Scotland, but that's because no notes are legal tender in Scotland, it doesn't matter at all.

History lesson. The Bank of England was a commercial bank, centuries ago the English government needed money for a navy to fight the French, and their scheme to raise money to pay for it was to agree that a Bank, the Bank of England, shall be created, a Limited Liability Corporation, owned by shareholders, able exclusively to issue notes against government borrowing. For the next few hundred years these shareholders and their successors did very well off this arrangement, and the Royal Navy was powerful enough even into the 20th century that it made Unternehmen Seelöwe [Sealion, a proposed invasion of England by Axis forces after the fall of France] completely impractical even though Hitler really wanted to.

However, in the intervening centuries England became just one constituent part of Britain, and in 1946 the by now very much British government decided to Nationalise the bank, so today it's no longer a private commercial business.
I had a friend in 2014 who said her orthodontist wanted to pull 3 of her molars in order for her teeth to ever be straight.

Always get a second opinion.
You may suggest it but I don’t care if someone thinks I’m biased toward one over the other. They are both assholes and neither deserve adulation of any kind. It is objectively true though that Mark will kill Musk in a real fight. Mark trains a lot in MMA and he will obliterate someone who does not similarly train. This is true regardless of any biases I have. It’s simply the case that those who train in MMA stand a much better chance of winning a fight than those who do not.

> That only works in a polygamous society.

Most societies are polygamous when you look in terms of sex and reproduction, even if they aren’t when it comes to socially recognized family bonding.

> In monogamous societies like the UK the deaths of many men in the world wars led to "marriage gaps" where a roughly equivalent number of women were unable to marry and have children.

Unable to marry, maybe, unable to have children, less so, hence the spike in unmarried share of births around the end of WWII (probably even moreso in WWI, too, but the information I have starts in the 1920s.)
This is conspiratorial thinking. Here is an alternative: people that want to win adopt popular positions. Then when a candidate drops out their supporters go to the next most similar candidate. Not that complicated. The primaries were vicious, with people like Harris accusing Biden of being a segregationist. They were not pretending to run for president.

The reason Biden wasn't popular among insiders is that they didn't think he could win. People like Obama specifically declined to endorse anyone until the winner was clear so that he wouldn't bias the outcomes and hurt their chances in the general. They fell in line when they saw Biden win the primaries.

Bernie losing could be explained by him simply not being popular. Trump was in a similar position, but trashed the Republican primaries because he was genuinely popular.

Number 9 isn't there, and in my personal interactions right here on HN, Julie doesn't ignore people who challenge her viewpoint. She says "Set Some Boundaries" and in fact doing so is not only necessary, it's healthy. Setting boundaries, even blocking people, is not the same as ignoring people who challenge your viewpoint. You can be challenged without the challenger being an asshole, there's no point in engaging with assholes and you should absolutely block them.

The immune system, let alone the body, is a highly complex system.
We really don't have any way to know what hacking the immune system with a vaccine does. It may help us avoid condition A but opens up to conditions B,C,D.

The dilemma is that there is a huge profit motive for addressing A, while B,C,D is a cost borne by the individual and their family/support system.

Ironically, if you care about vaccines, the best thing you can do is create a strong and trusted regulatory framework around them so the profit motive accruing to private parties does not overtake them and destroy public trust, as is happening now.

Based on the article I would say that the TV documentary showcases the army's willingness to attack Taiwan. Not their ability.
What I really hate is the weaponization of victimhood. Most frequently, you will read about this as "cancel culture", but it goes deeper - IMO. You have obsessive (and terminally online) people that will literally trawl through every public post / tweet / statement / etc. a celebrity has made in their lifetime, and check if there's anything that clashes against their own agendas.

Then, if they find something, they will start a crusade. The problem is that these people live in echo-chambers that are strictly moderated, and will just end up inciting the other extremists.

All of a sudden it sounds like there's a "movement", because these people are spending all day and night sharing links and cross-posting on every relevant forum or social media available. I regularly see this kind of brigading coming from all different kinds of groups - the other day I was reading a local news article regarding the avian flu that's ravaging Europe, and sure enough, a couple of hundred trolls started brigading the comment section with "It's 5G/chemtrails/COVID vaccine/Ukraine/etc." conspiracy takes.
