Right? He's totally upfront about being x-phobic doesn't need a cultural context to hide behind because he was still being x-phobic. While the targets of the phobia are making a collective "no duh!", it is great to hear someone just honestly admit they did something shitty and try to do better rather than digging in their heels and denying or hiding or dodging (see also: every "cancelled" dude who is still famous)
You may be misunderstanding his point.

I think he's pointing out that people who commit serious crimes usually have a prior history of smaller, petty crimes that they were not given meaningful punishment for.

The data certainly supports this observation, and I can dig out supporting evidence if it's in doubt (at least in NYC, Dublin, and London. I'm not familiar with SF).
For sure, but you’d need one hell of a good cta to be getting a sufficient effect size to warrant small samples.
> When copper oxide superconductors were discovered in 1986, researchers leapt to probe their properties. But nearly four decades later, there is still debate over the material’s superconducting mechanism, says Vishik. Efforts to explain LK-99 came readily.

To me, the interesting take-away is that, right at the end. All too often we see peer-review as this slow, inching, excruciating process, particularly in social sciences where it's a de-facto afterthought. It was great to see science chugging ferociously away like a (somewhat!) well-oiled machine, such as the electronic analysis via slightly different methods (e.g. DFT) and the material synthesis efforts by the Argonne NL and Max Planck Institute.

Farewell for now, RTSC.

Side-note: Pure LK-99 is visually beautiful! Who would-a known from those crumbly grey flakes, huh?

Parent is right. "Discount buyers" are their own camp, and aren't buying on price, objectively—they're buying on perceived savings. Note that I say _perceived_.

If you had a group of discount buyers shopping for chips, and split it in two groups …

- Group A sees a bag of chips marked down from $5 to $3

- Group B sees the same bag of chips for $3 as "retail price"

… you can expect to see more chip sales coming from Group A. Heck, you'd expect A to beat B even if the discounted price was _higher_ than the retail price.

Now throw "limited time offer" or "first 50 people" in to the mix and watch them fly off the shelves …
You are right, but a lot of states are like Florida for things like reproductive health care and LGBT rights. If someone is going to uproot their entire life to move someplace that is safer (and will almost certainly have a higher cost of living) it's not unreasonable that they choose another country. I'm not saying it's the only reasonable choice, just that there's a lot more to the rationale than political performance. Real people are having to make real decisions because of actual impacts to their lives. I think it's important to remind people of that.
Norway is already an extreme outlier in terms of both new and existing EV’s, which is included in that global number I mentioned. I expect several countries will break that 30%, but oil is a global commodity.

As to 80%, 2030 is only 6.5 years from now. You can lookup the rate companies are building factories to estimate the maximum possible adoption over the next 3-5 years and based on that 80% globally in 6.5 years is completely off the table. Also, adoption is dependent on what people actually buy which will slow thing down from the maximum theoretically possible. S curve to 50% which then slows down is common because not everyone’s needs are the same which feeds back into how much manufacturing capacity gets added etc.

Inflammatory responses are well know triggers of ectopic beats… at least according to my cardiologist and IM provider.
Even in the parts of the US with 203X goals, many of the statutory "EV" definitions include vehicles with large gas tanks. E.g., the Toyota RAV4 Plugin Hybrid qualifies for EV tax credits in most states with such credits.
You can attempt to rewrite history all you like but as someone who lived it there was a clear shift in the market pre-iMac and post-iMac. Less than a year after the iMac shipped there was at least an order of magnitude more USB devices than had been available previously. Every manufacturer jumped on the bandwagon. Funny enough you can't even question it - a ton of those devices used iMac-like translucency, color, or both.

I was a diehard PC user way back then but even I wasn't shameless enough to claim the iMac had nothing to do with pushing USB forward.
Photoprism is great, but Nextcloud's "memories" app is even a step better, especially if you already have a Nextcloud install. Definitely pair with their "recognize" app, which does the AI tagging and face recognition thing for you on any hardware.

Woz doesn't seem to harbor any resentment so it feels weird to have more emotion to this than the person who's meant to be impacted by it.
It used to be like this in the US too. I’m still uncomfortable returning things because that’s how it was when I grew up. Walmart and e-commerce are when this all changed.
Rescaling is extremely efficient and not a problem. The reason macOS doesn't support arbitrary DPIs is because it's so hard to design the UI correctly to avoid things like pixel cracks; if you make everything to look like a website, don't use bitmap images, etc it's possible though.

Instead it has dynamic type, which changes text sizes but not the rest of the UI scale.
"Seabiscuit" author Laura Hillenbrand wrote a disturbing (to me) essay entitled "A Sudden Illness" recounting the exact moment of the onset of her struggle with CFS. The apparent precursor infection was strep.

It's hard to think of someone less anchored in their original identity than John Lydon, unless you subscribe to the (plausible) idea that everything about the Sex Pistols was an an act and they were just a boy band. Martin Short has more credibility than Lydon; at least he was in the Queen Haters.
Some doctors are like you're describing. I posit that the best doctors are ones who realize that the domain of "health" is broad and encompasses things that aren't germs.

Geiger believed that the greatest threat to public health of his day was nuclear war, so he founded an organization (Physicians for Social Responsibility) to try to stop it, because he thought that would be more effective than waiting for the bombs to fall and trying to treat the victims.

You can disagree with his assessment, or the efficacy of his methods, but it's pretty unfair to dismiss them as "nonsense".
I've done literally thousands of hours of work on computers since I left Windows in the win95 days. I have never spent a single second trying to make any part of those computers work.
The kind of "urban" that qualifies for that label in the US is a lot more spread out and car-based than it is in Europe. Miami, FL and Los Angeles, CA are urban, but have relatively small areas of high enough density to support a public transit system.

I’m not a fan of vendors “not supporting something” as a reason to not use something. Either get a new vendor, put pressure on the vendor, or ignore the feature you want to use.

I personally don’t care about what cloudflare does because I don’t use them.

The rest is RTFM for whatever API you are calling and you usually have to send auth or cookies anyway, so an accept header isn’t that big of a deal.

Because they need an estimate in time units. E.g. marketing needs to plan their campaign for when the new release comes out; management needs to know whether we can finish that potential new project in the time frame the customer needs or not.

Developers sometimes don't think about the rest of the business.
But that explanation doesn't hold water.

Look at any old cookbook and you'll see that the calorie content in a typical "healthy" meal has gone down not up, people used to load up every dish with tons of fat, sugar and syrup, and still struggled to gain weight.

Mechanics, cops, security guards, firefighters, janitors, handymen, and personal service workers are twice as likely to be obese as high school teachers, professors, natural and social scientists, cooks, programmers, and lawyers. How can that possibly be if the principal factor is activity level?

Why is obesity higher at lower altitudes if it's just about the availability of cars?

Treating obesity as a cultural problem of personal moral failing is ignoring the cold hard facts: the epidemiological contour of the obesity epidemic points to a chemical contaminant that some people are exposed to more than others, not a cultural shift.

I think the music scenes move away from punk tropes of "as long as you're loud and vulgar it doesn't matter that you can't actually play your instrument" has been an incredible positive. Not just as a music enjoyer but in terms of setting positive examples about how to lead a fulfilling life. Angst for the sake of it is now seen as lame. Albini is a very interesting persona to me because he was largely a proponent of that style but he actually is quite talented, and more importantly seems to be extremely thoughtful.
Has anyone tried quantizing some metric of brain activity (EEG etc.) into a set of tokens, and then training a Transformer model on it?

I wonder if hidden in that is some good prior for human-cognition-related activities, i.e. extend the token space to add human language tokens, train on that and see if it trains significantly faster than a randomly initialized model.

Realtime Persistent Replication – RPR
10/75 is an overwhelming rejection to you? See https://translegislation.com/, bills are getting through and the pace at which they're being proposed is speeding up, not slowing down:

> 2023 marks the fourth consecutive record-breaking year for anti-trans legislation in the U.S. In just one month, the U.S. doubled the number of anti-trans bills being considered across the country from the previous year. We've seen familiar themes: attacks on gender-affirming care, education, athletics, birth certificates, religious discrimination, and other categories documented in our 2022 anti-trans legislation overview.

What makes this argument particularly ridiculous is -- ask every single one of these groups and advocacy fighters what they think of privacy and every single one of them will give you the same answer: it's an essential right that matters for protecting minorities. Has the ACLU stopped fighting for privacy because we've apparently defeated transphobia?

Your evidence that privacy no longer matters is an organization that spends an enormous amount of time advocating for privacy rights for exactly the reasons I mentioned above. If you're going to quote an ACLU article on the direction of transphobia, consider what they are actually saying about privacy, both in regards to transgender issues and to issues like abortion:

> As a school administrator, you have a legal obligation to maintain the privacy and safety of your students, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning

- https://www.aclu.org/documents/open-letter-schools-about-lgb...

> The lack of strong digital privacy protections has profound implications in the face of expanded criminalization of reproductive health care. In light of these breathtaking and authoritarian attacks on bodily autonomy, we must fight with new urgency to ensure that people maintain control over their personal information. If we fail, the repressive surveillance techniques and powers that police and prosecutors have for decades used to wage the racist wars on drugs and terrorism will be marshaled to track, catalogue, and criminalize pregnant people and those seeking basic information about reproductive health issues, putting tens of millions of people at risk of police harassment and worse.

When you say that privacy no longer matters because we've beaten transgender discrimination, first consider checking if there are any transgender advocacy groups that agree with you. The people that you're arguing are on top of this and that will prevent us from ever doing anything horrible ever again -- they all think that privacy matters. It might be a good idea to research why they think that?
My experience with no code was it was so frustrating to work with that it was preferable to force as much as logic as possible into the database. You get pretty adept at whatever database software you're using, saying "that'd be expensive on this platform - you should settle for <bad UI>", and sessions with platform support because somewhere along the way their platform stopped loading the files it saved.

I do think there needs to be fewer people who crumble when they have to write SQL so maybe it's not all bad.
At my first job, our office manager was a really nice Indian woman. She told the story of bringing her father over for a visit from India in the late 80's. He brought a suitcase with him that he had purchased at Macy's at Herald Square (Manhattan) sometime in the 40's and the lock had broken. He insisted that she take him there to get it fixed because "it has a lifetime warranty and I'm not dead yet."

No amount of arguing would get him to stop so she gave up and drove the hour or so into NYC and went into Macy's expecting to be extremely embarrassed at trying to get a beat up old suitcase fixed. Instead, they basically got the white glove treatment. Macy's couldn't fix the lock, but replaced the 40-year-old suitcase with something that was similar, treated them to lunch at the store restaurant, the manager took a photo with her Dad, etc. He, of course, was thrilled to death by all the attention.

They were a pretty well-off family, so I expect that it was probably an expensive piece of luggage when new, but even so I was amazed by the story.

Yes. I have no promotion prospects and no new-job prospects, so I do what I have to do to survive: make my own way, with my own "side hustles".
Yup. Given the reports of other HN users, I would argue that it's a feature.

Isn't this common knowledge for iOS users? It's definitely the desired behavior: I occasionally want to temporarily, and quickly, disconnect from something like my car. I never want to break Handoff, AirDrop, FindMy, or seamless connection to my AirPods.
> One of the things I look forward to in an HN discussion is the comments of people who can collate expert opinions on the subject and surface these kinds of points in a more ELI15 kind of way.

HN is full of subject matter experts on computing-- that is, software, and to a lesser extent, hardware-- beyond that it's a mixed bag at best. Even as an interface designer, I see so much confidently presented and totally bogus pseudo-expertise on art and design here that it's actually kind of funny, and that's much more closely related to software development than physics is. That BS sounds credible to other developers because it's in a developer's voice and trips on misconceptions common among developers. I suspect that's true with the other non-computing topics discussed here that I don't know enough about to give an expert opinion on.

As a long-time developer myself, I've been on both sides of assuming our astonishing intelligence and analytical capability can make up for lacking the requisite expertise. The mistake is expecting the HN crowd's musings about things outside of it's expertise to be more trustworthy than any other internet forum. If this were some physics subreddit or something like that, the criticism would make more sense. This is just people being excited by something a lot of other people were excited by.
Same story for me at my last company, which started up in Canada but then relocated headquarters to the US. Why? Access to funding and industry partners.

This is just one thing of many. A more unexcusable asshole behavior is him using Woz's help to design the Atari board for brickbreaker, lying about the payout then pocketing the vast majority of it. It shows the kind of guy he is. People blow off asshole behavior in executives all the time by claiming that anything is excusable because it serves the higher goal of the company, but there's no higher goal when it's just extra cash for yourself, it's just pure greed, or perhaps expressing a hidden resentment that someone else did something great and you needed their help.
Hey, we were at Purdue at the same time (I graduated December '04)! That means the chances of me having met you in person are very slightly elevated compared to just a random person on HN...
No, they should move closer to work. Commuting 40 miles a day by car is unsustainable for many reasons.
I had a basic smartphone from Costco (Moto G Play 2021). While perfectly adequate for me, the fingerprint sensor stopped working. Even a factory reset didn't restore it. A friend asked "How long since you bought it?" Well since you asked, 364 days. Well then you have one day to take it back.

The lady at the customer service counter couldn't care less what was the issue with the phone, just that the charger and cable were included. Off it went, presumably, to one of their clearance centres, where someone got a half price (or less) smartphone that just turns out to not have a working fingerprint sensor. I wish I could have somehow communicated this - what's wrong with the device and why I returned it - but nobody cared. I then turned around and bought the same phone again, at the same price.
What a joke! The majority of those workers were H1Bs aka indians. Canada just took more Indian workers and saturated their already over burdened labor and property markets.

If you're a native Canadian, you'd behoove yourself to not leave Canada and get a job in the States where you can make way more and have the opportunity to actually afford a house or at least a condo.

ML infra and stuff, perf/optimization work etc... Maybe learning materials, resume and interview advice etc? Thanks in advance if you have an interesting answer!
> f your argument is that conservative politics in practice aren't very conservative (in the incrementalist fashion, as you describe), then I'm not sure if any political ideology is really self-consistent in that way.

No, it has nothing to do with self-consistency. “Conservative” as an ideological label refers to something other than than incrementalism, though in contexts other than ideology, it can refer to that. It is simply words having different meanings in different contexts.

Conservative ideology and incrementalist praxis have nothing to do with each other, though they can be mistaken for each other when the status quo is near the goals of ideological conservatism. (In the US, that apparent overlap with incrementalist praxis is currently more common with neoliberal ideology today than conservative ideology—it can be hard to tell an incrementalist who doesn't seek neoliberal ends from a neoliberal of any praxis, because the status quo is mostly neoliberal.)
