I swear to God, the amount of misunderstanding around the concept of centrifugal force is insane. Relevant XKCD by the way: https://xkcd.com/123/
Sometimes it's more convenient to do physics in a rotating reference frame. There's nothing magical about it. For the given problem of predicting whether or not a vehicle held steady above Earth by a combination of both it's "Keplerian Force" and it's aerodynamic lift, converting to a rotating reference frame makes the math very easy. It's perfectly fine to conceptualize physics likes this. You could also think of it in an inertial frame. That's fine. Go ahead. But one isn't more correct than the other.

> I've never once used an imaginary centrifugal force in any of my orbital calculations, for what it's worth.

The equation for determining an orbital speed for given altitude can be derived from an inertial reference frame calculating the acceleration required to sustain circular motion or from a force balance in a rotating reference frame. You can start from first principles given either and derive the exact same equation. So you could choose to if you so desired. And again, as per the above example, sometimes considering the rotating frame makes the problem more intuitive. Neither is more correct than the other. Strict doctrine to one as being "more correct" only limits understanding of how problems can be solved.
If we’re talking about ideal housing policies, why not extend it to say that individuals seeking primary residence should get priority over investors or secondary purchasers. AirBNB operators are just as predatory if not more in these markets than non-citizens.
I'm shocked. I've been a vim user my whole life. I use neovim lately, but I didn't even know Bram was dead. I've never interacted with him personally, but I've interacted with the tool he wrote and the documentation he wrote almost on a daily basis. Vim is part of me.

I know the project will likely continue, but I can't help but thinking: what now?

It brings up this issue of death in software for me. Software is getting old enough now that it is starting to outlive its authors. RIP Anthony Grimes and Ian Murdock. I have used both of these men's software after their demise[1][2], and I am grateful for it.

However, it does make me think. Grimes' software continues to have issues filed against it[3] by folks unaware that no one is getting notifications for them. On the other hand, Debian was popular enough to continue after Ian's passing, and continues to gain momentum.

I know it might be too soon for me to wonder about these questions to an audience. These were the giants on whose shoulders we continue to work today. I'm glad their code persists.

Every time one of these threads comes around it's like the same thing on repeat: "I could either learn how to use a container or dist-upgrade my entire operating system to solve this."
This is really cool! As a next step, it would be even more useful if you could auto-inpaint on regions of the detected issues (e.g., malformed hands). That way you could maintain the subject / most of the image -- if you like everything but the deformed features. That way you tackle both the QA analyst problem and the "engineer" problem of trying to path the model for the end user/customer.
The difference is that an LLM isn't 1000 different intelligences. It's one intelligence, being asked to pretend to be 1,000 different people. Every instance is the essentially the same weights trained on essentially the same data. The difference in perspective doesn't resemble that of the difference between any two humans.

Humans love to think of multi agent systems as being like a team of people. It's much more like a writer imagining different characters and how they would respond. When George RR Martin imagines all 500 characters in Game of Thrones, there is a lot of diversity of perspective and thought there. But all of that is coming from one intelligence and doesn't represent a collaboration in any traditional sense.
I think it's good from transparency point of view. It's one thing when a retailer has one or two house brands, like Kirkland brand at Costco. Then the consumer can know that's the retailers house brand. Amazon on the other hand had 30 clothing brands with names like Lark & Ro, Daily Ritual and Goodthreads with just a tiny "An Amazon brand" buried in the product description bullets. I'm not sure if it was designed this way to be misleading, but I can see how it wouldn't be interpreted kindly during any kind of antitrust scrutiny.

Language only evolves, "devolving" isn't a thing. All changes are arbitrary. Language is always messy, fluid and ambigious. You should go with the flow because being a prescriptivist about the way other people speak is obnoxious and pointless.

And "literally" has been used to mean "figuratively" for as long as the word has existed[0].

First of all, many rolling release distros don’t follow upstream as fast as possible—there’s often some testing window.

People go on and on about backported security patches and stability, but I’ve had to handle so many buggy patches or issues that never got a backported fix that I now think this is basically a fantasy. The distro maintainers just don’t have the time (or experience with all the software they ship!) to backport patches for every single issue. I’d really rather get a fix by the actual software maintainer than a year-old mystery meat version that still has a bunch of known non security bugs fixed in upstream that the distro maintainers don’t care about.

Even worse, being able to stay on essentially outdated software puts a lot of organizations into a tough spot when their LTS version finally becomes unsupported. Practice makes perfect, and I think lots of small, regular updates result in a lot less pain than a mega-update every few years (really: I’ve had to manage one of these more than once, and it’s a total nightmare figuring out which of 1000 changes in the new LTS version caused a performance regression or something).
It's interesting that it's basically just the filters left at the end.

Do the filters actually help enough to justify their existence and environmental impact?
> a cleaner UI and larger screen to show you the contents of that device?

I haven't seen an in-car system that provides a better UI. Regardless, that's not actually important because I'm not interacting with the device or screen while I'm driving anyway.

A larger screen doesn't seem like a big deal. I'm not spending much time looking at the screen anyway.

> why do you care if your car has a computer on it or not?

I don't. I care about the connectivity, not the presence of a computer. It's all but certain that connection will be used to funnel data back to the manufacturer or someone.

> Seems overly paranoid, bordering on luddite…

No need to start with the personal insults here. I'm expressing my own desires, I'm not saying I want to deprive others of theirs. That I don't want things that you do doesn't diminish or harm you in any way.
This has been my stance on the issue, but I am just pessimistic for the first generation of HOA leadership because it tends to attract nosy, controlling busybodies that love draconian rules. It’s not until those people die off or move where new leadership has an opportunity to flourish.

Additionally, my statement was more generalized view of how it could be used, obviously if a homeowner finds themselves in this situation, the strategy would be to gather neighbors support and demand it to be changed or just do a hostile takeover of the HOA.
> That's fine, but art has always been a difficult road for a career; the advent of streaming has little to do with this

Oh, in the realm of recorded music, it absolutely has a LOT to do with it.

From the early 1950s until the advent of streaming, record labels played an important role as cross-subsidy systems. You might not like Brittney Spears, but the cut of her album sales that went to her record company allowed her label to continue to work with many artists who were barely profitable (if at all).

Streaming (and to a lesser extent, megastars forming their own vertically integrated corporations) has ended that model entirely. If you make "niche genre" music, you're going to be operating without any potential cross-subsidy from more popular music, which translates to either working without a record label at all, or working with a "niche genre" label that helps with marketing but also has extremely low cash flow.

> That's not unlike asking, "Why start a business when you could instead work a 9-5 and probably make more money?"

I see it as a very different question. I'm acknowledging the appeal of pursuing your artistic inclinations, and I think we should encourage as many folks as possible to do that. But I'm also saying "if you think you're going to make a living from this, you're almost certainly mistaken". There are plenty of things people keep doing in their lives without the prospect of making money from it. I'm suggesting that it would be better if more people understood that in 2023, music probably ought to be one of those things, rather than the basis of a dream way of making a living.

It's more like "should you start a business based on your hobby, that almost certainly will not make enough to live on and stands a good chance of destroying your interest in the hobby, or should you accept that it's a side-gig that bring s you joy and occasionally a little bit of extra income?"
>Kazakhstani (born in Kazakh SSR, Soviet Union) ethnic Russian stops mentioning “Russia” in his biography during a period of increased Russophobia.

He is jewish.
Just like the rest of the "yandex talents" that moved to work at Israeli office.
They all get to be jewish when if suits them.

UPD.

Also, yandex news was (and still is) the pinnacle of russian putin propaganda. And the person in question was complicit with it. Even, given the fact he wasn't living in russia since 2014.
He tries to whitewash himself because he is a sanctioned individual. And the protocol to get desanctioned is to publicly state he disapproves the war.
I think early on in AirBnB's existence I've had the delightful experience, interesting hosts, etc.

The last 2-3 years though, it has been less than stellar with both super host and non-super hosts stays for a majority of the stays, so I stopped using AirBnB. I'm sure there are still a lot of hosts that have a property they treat properly, treat the guests good, and care about hospitality etc. but the general vibe I get is that a lot of superhosts are folks with a bunch of properties doing the bare minimum while charging the absolute maximum. Just personal experience in the US though.
> No one has extra money to travel and stay in Airbnbs.

This is wrong as a general statement: what’s happened is that people have become more discerning about value, and it takes more than dropping $50 at IKEA to make a place cool enough to earn a premium. If your house is in a cool neighborhood close to something unique, that might work but if it’s a car-dependent suburb near a ton of hotels it’s probably not going to command much of a premium. Being near Disney is something but there are thousands of competing options capping how much you can charge.
"7 years post matriculation" -- meaning _only_ that seven years passed since you graduated.

The issue is that describing it as an MA implies that it is equivalent to a normal Master of Arts, when in fact you did not do any further work beyond the BA. Other Oxford graduates may "standardly" benefit from this "confusion", but it's not fair to all of the millions who have worked hard for years to achieve a real graduate degree.

Whether some other famous people dropped out of an undergraduate or graduate degree program or not does not mean that it is okay to pretend that you have completed a master's degree program of work. I do believe qualifications like that are given more weight than warranted, but that doesn't mean that it's okay to be deliberately misleading. Even having lots of other people from the same university doing it doesn't make it okay.

I didn't complete any degree at all. I don't go around telling people (in so many words) that I attended UCSD. Even though I did. Because just saying that without clarification would imply that I graduated.
So often we hear after someone dies how great they really where when infact they were like most people, a mixed bag. We all have ups and downs etc.

There are some though that really do live up to the postmortem messages and for sure Bram is one of them, i was lucky to meet him and actually spend some time shooting shit with him. At the time i didn't realize how big a deal he was, it was only later i would actually get to know and appreciate VIM, but from all of that it made me appreciate him a lot more. So when I read these kind of posts i can't help feel sad of course but I do get shivers of how damn ossum he really was. The testimonials to him hit so hard knowing they're 100% genuine. We need more like him, he will be really missed.
I don't think so? I think I'm just surfacing the implication. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it appears like the pretty clear implication of defending Harvard and elite schools is to believe that the rest of us should remain in a lower social caste, forever, and that we deserve it because of meritocracy.

> Nazi-type
> Nazi

It gets harder and harder to take this kind of rhetorics seriously these days, especially the last few years - everyone labels everyone else they don't like as "nazis".

This is borderline Nazi apologizm. They recycled people into furniture, butchered millions based on genetics alone.

I honestly couldn't care less for that westsplaining about China at this point (or any other culture European civilization considers foreign), especially after seeing how does the receiving end of some darker western politics looks like.

Honestly, that xenophobic supremacism is so tiresome. Being an outside observer I hardly see white European descendants doing too much better. What I do see is extreme circejeeking, projections and boring 2 minutes hate at every other corner, while having disappointingly little substance to show for, when you visit and check out their way of living personally.

Show HN: Bracket, a Heroku Connect alternative
Hi HN, Bracket CEO here.

Bracket lets you set up two-way and one-way syncs between Salesforce and Postgres. We’re essentially a hosting-agnostic alternative to Heroku Connect.

Salesforce is the most popular CRM on the planet, but it’s way, way easier to build apps and do analysis on Postgres tables. You can use Bracket to create Postgres tables from scratch based on existing Salesforce objects, choose which fields you’d like to sync and which direction, and schedule/manage those syncs.

Working with some early beta users, we’ve mostly seen these benefits:

1. Build apps and workflows on Postgres instead of Salesforce. For almost any developer, Postgres i more enjoyable to work with as a prod DB.
2. Limit dependencies on the Salesforce API. Instead of building a ton of apps that call the Salesforce API directly, using Bracket you could conceivably limit your API calls to just those between Salesforce and Postgres. Also, Bracket is managing any changes to the Salesforce API, so it's a low-maintenance dev experience. Finally, building apps on Postgres helps maintain continuity of service if Salesforce has an outage.
3. Perform SQL analyses instead of SOQL analyses.
4. Less important for devs, but for the business folks: it’s generally cheaper to have more seats in Postgres or a Postgres-adjacent data reporting tool than to have a ton of Salesforce seats.

We’re excited to announce version 1.0 of this integration, and it’s ready for use and feedback.

quick video demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRkaAa667T0

keen to hear what other features would be useful, what other integrations would be helpful, and any questions you might have!

We have Airbnb homes on either side of us. We have weekly problems with trespassing, trash, expletive laden screaming arguments, speeding and loud music. We're in wine country and the amount of obvious drunk driving is alarming.

The entire neighborhood has complained to law enforcement, county government (we're just outside city limits), Airbnb and VRBO hundreds of times. Nothing has been done by any of them.

Anyone else been in this situation and had any reasonable solution?

Can you give an example of what you might consider "the most fragile and excluded"? What is "excluded by society" to you? That they are beyond the reach of the both the dangers and benefits of AI?

> AI is not involved in conscience matters

It's well documented that AI algorithms recapitulate the biases of their creators, and are engaged in uses that discriminate against protected classes. Remember Tay[1]? The question is not whether or not they are involved, but how they are used.

14 months in testing, followed by a beta, is really moving too slow.
Because I feel like it's an entirely pointless waste of resource? I don't know if you've noticed, but the world's on fire right now.

Moreso though, if you're not achieving orbit, you're not really visiting space proper, imho.
>I talked to someone who was renting out their basement apartment on AirBnB for a few months before a remodel was scheduled. They had one tenant try to file complaints about everything, down to the color of the bedding not matching the photos posted online. “Property not as described in listing”.

This doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Maybe the listing should match what they were actually offering to rent?
After doing some cursory Google searches on relative motion in orbit, establishing a rotating frame seems standard to me. Even the original Clohessy-Wiltshire paper[1] starts by doing that.

As a physicist, though admittedly not working in orbital mechanics, I can assure you working with non-inertial frames and their concomitant pseudoforces is nothing out of the ordinary. Whether or not these forces are "magical" or even "real" is more of a philosophical question, secondary to the fact of their utility.

I think yours is less a problem of how to keep up with the joneses and more a problem of realistically evaluating your circumstances and expectations.

Whoever is telling you that you aren’t good enough is trying to pull something over on you at this point. It works well on people that can never be satisfied.
Eh, you don't need a certificate to engage in piracy. Also, do they have a Highwayman Certificate if you also make the equestrian team? Asking for a friend...
Actually I think they make weird choices sometimes that could be tested for systematically if someone knew which model it was and had some time with it before the Turing test took place.
Indeed, I no longer use do-release-upgrade and instead find it "easier" to install the new release from scratch and copy my ~user and other backups over.

It's a PITA (have to install all the packages I had on old version), but I have scripts that mostly do it all for me now.

If you've ever lived through a do-release-upgrade for mysql, you'll probably never do it again.
Yeah, the case is on wikipedia but the original article from muslimskeptic.com is gone. I found the article last time from webarchive, the article is gone from there too. I appreciate you as well.
Well you answer yourself - they should not use it for free, they should pay me.

Do you go to a baker and tell him that you want free bread? You know baker cannot even give you free bread and even if it is old and no one would buy it because of regulations...

Free plan is just that you can see what are the options and that you can try it out if it fits your needs. If you want to rely on the service you should pay.

Sorry but by EU regulations where I reside you can always take your data away. You also can take it away each month making essentially what is backup. If I make backups for you, pay.
> I’ve advanced further than everyone I know that went to Harvard in my career and not once did someone wink at the Harvard guy and pass me over.

I'm only 27 and I definitely have - basically every Harvard CS grad from the year I graduated from my state school makes at least $200k more than me a year if they're in the workforce instead of academia and has a significantly higher net worth as a result!
If it's finally only hitting the wall now, that seems like there's been several years of a good run. The dream doesn't have to last forever for it to have been real. It's like that saying, the stock market has predicted nine out of the last five recessions. There's been real money being made for people for years now. That may eventually dry up, but in the meanwhile, that's where it is.
> What actually bothers you is that this is what people want and it will get built and it will be patronized.

Yes. It does bother me that the utility function of "the market" does not align with what is good for me, and that therefore it frequently produces results that are worse for me.

In fact this applies not just to urban development, but also to many other things.
Yeah, this is the reasonable order of things. Thanks for the input.
The "Kepler force" is not really a force. It's an expression of inertia in (as I mentioned) a limited, non-inertial reference frame. It's fine to conceptualize but IMO misleading especially when explaining the fundamentals to novices.

As for the ubiquity of using a rotating frame, I'm not saying it's not done. I'm just saying it's not necessarily typical for orbits to de facto be considered in such a frame.
My parents were mild hoarders, but it was enough to cause me anxiety growing up. Incidentally, after patching up their marriage, healing their relationship and addressing long-standing problems between them, they finally began to clear it away.
