> He's a bludger

Calling people names is not really the style of this site. And without actually knowing more about him, I suspect you can't know enough to make that highly judgemental call.

Aside: I associate with a wide variety of people, some of which would be labelled bludgers by folk ignorant of those people's social value or circumstances. Their actual value to society varies tremendously. Note that welfare benefits are more accessible in New Zealand compared with many other countries. I also know plenty of working people I might personally think of as taking undue advantage of wider society.

> If Firefox in its current form can't exist without Google's support, then ...

If Firefox only exists by the grace of Google, then Firefox cannot be an effective barrier to Google's dominion. If it's truly wholly dependent on Google, then it can only stand up to Google for as long as Google wills it.

I'm not saying Firefox is wholly dependent, I'm just saying that if it is, then it's already useless as a barrier to Google's ambitions and we'd be better off stripped of the illusion that it's part of the solution. If Google is prevented from paying for continued search dominance, then we either learn that Firefox was never dependent on that revenue, or we learn that Firefox as presently constituted was never going to be able to stop Chrome and we need to make major changes.

Facebook needs content, but it doesn't need news content.

In fact, you could probably make the case Facebook would be made better without news content. It's interesting that they chose to remove all news content for Canadians, rather than just Canadian news. I assume this was a good opportunity for them to try out some user testing.

There was another sharp peak on ERCOT this evening, but it was about half an hour long. This is tailor made for demand response. Simply cutting off the compressors of A/Cs for half an hour by remote control would work.

Customers in Texas should look for electricity providers who offer such remote control (there must be some) and are willing to pay you to put them on your A/C.

> It’s a rule of thumb for comparing the amount of pavement damage caused by vehicles with different weights, in terms of axle loads:

> In the equation, W1 is the weight of an axle on vehicle 1, which we would compare to W2, the weight of an axle on vehicle 2.

For W1 of 4 tons on an axle and W2 of 1 ton on an axle, vehicle 1 does 256 times as much damage to pavement as vehicle 2.

According to reviews of the evidence published in 2011 and 2015, there is minimal, short-term, and generally unreliable evidence that flossing might reduce gum inflammation, but no convincing evidence that it promotes plaque removal or prevents tooth decay or dental caries (cavities).

Basically, brush your teeth and you'll be fine. Europeans have great teeth, they just care less about having the great white hollywood smile, and care more about having their healthcare cover dental work.
Ask HN: Traveling, Investing and Relaxing Advice
Disclaimer: I know that this is not the best place to seek financial advice. This post is not meant to be a 'give me a recipe'; it's more like a collective thinking post.

So I currently have 2 rental properties netting me $3100/month in rental income. These properties are paid off, so no mortgage payments.

I do live in a HCOL city so my current rent is $5k/month and with kids school, grocery and entertainment it comes to $5k/month; so a total of $10k/month.

Our current liquid cash holding is approx $1.2M.

Wife and I want to start traveling during the summer holidays, but wondering how to best plan for it. i.e. how do we plan it so it makes sense financially.

We also are trying to figure out how to best deploy our cash so that it enables us to make world trips during summer holidays.

Has anyone else planned something like this for their family? How much should we budget for a decent trip to places like Toronto, Vancouver, New York, London, Tokyo etc..

Would love to learn from your experience and discuss how to setup for future.
Ask HN: How to get started with Machine Learning?
I'm currently a Software Engineer looking to transition to Machine Learning. I know a lot of people recommend Andrew NGs course as a first step towards Machine Learning.

The problem is moreso speed, not mass, when discussing pedestrian fatalities.

Better yet, protect pedestrians from getting hit in the first place with better street design for more walkable cities. There are tons of examples of protected bike lanes, pedestrian islands, and more frequent crosswalks with stiffer penalties for blowing through them, regardless of what the vehicle is.

There's also the chance that they didn't care to build their training set to match the expected population. Another industry dealing with this is automotives. Until recently tests were done exclusively on male crash test dummies. This resulted in higher mortality rates in women as things like seatbelts and airbags were tested on models not reflecting their bodies.

This would all be because either they didn't care or they didn't realize they should care. Which is to say, I agree with you and the problem you touched on is far more pervasive and effects more people than just the legal system and we need to start doing a better job addressing it.

This actually strikes me as a good example (analogy?) to illustrate quantum effects -- if you let it sit it mostly approaches a flat average level, but there's still occasional "random" splashes that can reach much higher than you'd expect. Makes me think of things like electron tunneling

How do you expect compatibility with v4 protocols/software/hardware/routers/ISPs to work without using v4?

That's a serious question. Do you have a way for this to work? Because I don't think it's possible (for fundamental reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle), and it would be extremely unfair to criticize the designers of v6 for not fixing an unfixable problem.

If your goal is just to create a simple web app, you could still use simple HTML, CSS and JS. These are standards that are mostly backwards compatible, even though they've evolved a lot. Maybe add in some jQuery too.

If your goal is to catch up with the modern tech stack, pick one of the popular frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Angular) and learn it, starting with their official documents. This assumes you're already comfortable or familiar with the fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JS).

That's a motte-and-bailey fallacy. Someone might even agree with you that this kind of minimal and general regulation is useful (eg 'no labeling poison as food'). But that doesn't mean that all the other regulation is necessary nor useful.
Not wanting to work is a valid life choice. Western societies produce a massive excess of goods, we don't need everyone to spend their lives working.

What does "work" mean?

Any time someone suggests a tax that kind of, sort of, might be, correlated with energy efficiency, it is violating what should be the prime directive of climate change - every gram of CO2 emitted should be treated equally.

Doing studies on the environmental impact of Hummer EVs is missing the forest for the trees.

The minute you establish any category of energy usage that is more pure, more sanctified per unit mass of CO2 output, the invisible hand of the market will shift as much as possible into that loophole, until it is so obscene it can't be ignored. Hummer EVs are just one example.

Focusing on weight is just starting a new cycle of missing the point. My motorcycle is really light, so does that mean it's the most efficient method of transport? Are semi-trailers used because truckers like wasting money?

The counter argument remains: "we must do something...and this is something". I don't need to see that again, but if you have the urge - do you really believe it? Can we achieve any goal through lying about the fundamental criterion of success, by micromanaging out of ignorance?

Everything done to fight climate change is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic to avoid thinking about the insurmountable political task of raising fuel taxes enough to make a difference.

If you have given up, then there is nothing left but social justice and mitigation for poor countries affected by climate change. So own it. Be clear about it.

Based on the article it sounds like Apple would default to their _own_ search engine, which they would bundle with their browser, which is the only browser option on their OS, which is the only OS option on their smartphone, the sales of which generate 85% of all profits in the global smartphone sector.

Unclear if Google would still be allowed to default to Google search on their reskinned version of Apple’s browser (branded as “Chrome”, even though it isn’t). But that’s mostly up to Apple, since they write the rules for the App Store, the only way to install software on Apple’s OS. Google might have to maintain their $45bn/year tribute for that privilege.
Did you ever vote? Between the very limited number of political leaning options available and the personal morality of the candidates, voters can never vote for a candidate they want but only for the candidate they least don't want.
Thank you. Not even saying this to shit on academia, but modern scientific publishing follows the same governing rules as publishing a YouTube video (in principle).

> There should probably be some sort of separate process for things that actually claim to make important discoveries.

This used to be Springer Nature and the likes, but they've had so many retractions in the past years + they broke their integrity in the Schoen scandal, allowing lenience in the review process to secure a prestigious publication in their journal.

In reality, I mean you're probably my academic senior: How does true advancement get publicized these days? You post a YouTube video somewhere. See LK99. No peer review, no fancy stuff, a YouTube video was enough to get Argonne National lab on the case.

Let's scale licensing requirements with weight instead. Require regular re-testing for all but the most basic class license.

Regular re-testing means those driving heavier (read: more dangerous) vehicles would have to maintain competency rather than be punished in proportion to the consequences of their incompetency. The usual moral qualms about revoking licensing would be somewhat side-stepped as well since you could at least knock a bad driver down to the basic class and reduce the damage they're likely to do.

In this case they almost universally just made it up. (Specifically it's usually about a "Cherokee princess", though that might be a stereotype. It's never a different tribe though, just Cherokee.)

In some cases it turns out their ancestors were part black and covered this up by claiming to be native though.

Human subjects research, for one e.g. very often they involve clinical populations that are very hard to recruit. You can spend tens of thousands in advertising, and multiples more in labor, to get a hundred participants in, over the course of an entire year of effort, and that's not even counting the money spent on a clinician doing a diagnosis. And then, when you do, you may, say, pay $1000 for the MRI per subject, plus the $100 bucks you pay directly to the participant themselves.
"Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques to Build Intelligent Systems, 2nd ed." by Aurélien Géron (2022), published by O'Reilly, is one of my favorite technical books ever. It was published before LLMs became hot.
Personal and dictated readings are very different experiences. What you describe is the self help version of tarot. Maybe most common, but not exhaustive of the medium. Practitioners know/Intuit that the typical major and minor arcana (cards that reveal mutable or immutable Fate) layouts are incredibly flushed out in archetypical terms. Using the symbols and suits, you can define not just A personal narrative, but ANY personal narrative. Both the major, and each of the four suits of the minor arcana, capture progressions of conscious thought that arguably encompass every conceivable platonic Form. This is a phenomenal achievement when examined in good faith.

You might say it is impractical even if impressive. Still, I have been very surprised to see the principle that is supposed to make the tarot work (the hermetic idea of 'As above so below' or, ' the microcosm can only reflect the macrocosm') pop up in Karl Frissons FEP work. What esoterists describe as 'higher and lower powers', seems to be explicitly captured by ongoing work involving Markov blankets. I am not technically minded enought to get the math, but that's what I take from these interviews -

Would have posted the original papers (linked in the article), but on reading through both had a very difficult time actually finding where they explain the “trillions” estimate.

Also, found the conclusion in the Times article very odd: The team didn’t look beyond the bounds of the Milky Way. “But we expect that other galaxies are pretty similar,” Dr. Bennett said — meaning that these outcasts might be sprinkled across our entire universe. Might be? The notion that our galaxy could be any sort of exception is mind boggling from a science writer, let alone one with a PhD in particle physics from a top university.

Yes, more or less. I'd want to paste the output into an editor and then edit it into somewhat more polished prose. For many blogging tools, perhaps Markdown would be best?

I also wouldn't want the whole thing to look like a terminal window or to contain diffs, since the idea wouldn't be to represent aider or GPT4's output faithfully. Instead, the dialog would be about two characters who make additions to some code, like you do in a repl or notebook. Being able to download the notebook would be nice too.

This seems rather different (and more specialized) than the git-based approach that aider uses, so it's probably a different tool that I should get to writing someday.

But the surveillance was a crucial part of control and indoctrination. Surveillance of the home, never knowing whether or not someone was watching, led Winston Smith, and presumably other citizens, to change their thought patterns. He was literally afraid to have an unapproved thought lest it change detectably his behavior while he was being watched. This was very similar to Soviet-style control where you could never be sure your neighbor wasn’t spying on you.

One big difference, though, is that people in our society generally accept the set of forbidden things.
> the truckers will all go bankrupt

I still think the alternative to pay per weight*distance is good - trucks should be last-mile delivery, not the primary source of transportation for goods in North America. Cargo trains are much better in many different dimensions, even more-so if they're electrified (Though, that's an impossibility in this market)
> Have men been told they're entitled to sex and attention for free tho? I kinda feel it's the exact opposite. Men are told they need to pay for meals, rooms, travel, and housing and custody later. Men are told they should be the proactive side and take the risk of being rejected. I'd even say (at least in TV shows and movies) men are expected to be the funny ones and provide entertaining values in a relationship.

Do you think in providing those things, men then become entitled to sex or attention?

Which is to say you've listed a large number of material things, or fictional things (TV sitcoms have never been reality, but boy did they do a lot of damage to millenials), absent one core element: actually being a pleasant person. Or providing emotional support. Or empathy (I also note that excluded is "be attractive to the other person in some way").

Basically: your list entirely excludes the right of the other person to...be a person. To have any independent agency or preferences.
Why do you need that time? You just buy the printer that an expert you trust suggests to you.

That expert could be your knowledgeable friend, it could be a review in a blog or it could even be a retailer like Costco.

Having a reputation for recommending quality products is valuable. And if they screw up a few times, they can lose it quickly. So they are going to be careful and protect it. (Or rather, the retailers that keep their reputation are those who have been careful.)

It makes total sense to me, for everyone that got screwed out of home ownership because of prices skyrocketing, some of them didn't go homeless. The ones that bought a large truck and an RV (to live in full time) need to pay. That should make them go fully homeless.
