The video really rubbed me the wrong way. I guess it's a persona he's putting on for the YouTube channel, but that "tough minded skeptic" bit is way over the top. He spent all his time criticizing various problems with the LK-99 paper that were indeed problematic (and widely commented on elsewhere), but didn't necessarily falsify the claim (e.g. they might have come from having mixed phase samples).

And he did not talk at all about the scientifically most interesting part of the affair, which was the clever investigation from multiple angles that finally unearthed the explanation. It's as though he just ran his mouth without reading the literature... which is not a very scientific thing to do, is it?
I have the all black GW-2310FB. I’ll be honest, the gray digits on black background can be a little impractical in low light (it does have a very good backlit if you press the button). But it looks awesome and I have no regrets. Love it. And for those of you that are militant about your IDE’s dark mode, this could be the watch for you too.

I work on Ubicloud.

It is fair criticism. We don't claim to be "open source" rather we are open and free as in you can see the code and host it yourself if you want. The primary restriction is that license does not allow building a managed service out of it.

BTW, we don't have any license key, so that part of the Elastic License wouldn't apply. It is there, because we wanted to use a known license that fits the bill instead of creating our own obscure license.
I wonder if, as the culture has ossified, fewer and fewer people stuck around as editors long enough.

Either driven away by other editors/admins, not finding it fulfilling enough as so many topics are already “taken”, or simply didn’t think they did enough to be eligible during their time (correctly or not).

Or, I suppose, they don’t WANT to move from editor to admin for some reason.
> Crypto wealth seems to come with exposure to unsavory people. Or maybe it's a chicken/egg thing.

Hard to deny on frequency alone as this part struck me as noteable and to your point:

Peev is the second crypto king to be found dead in brutal circumstances within a month. Body parts of Fernando Pérez Algaba were found in a red suitcase dumped in Ingeniero Budge, Buenos Aires, on July 23 after going missing five days earlier.

But in my view this is the real take away:

Bulgarian media reported that Peev had helped Valchinov with crypto investments, suggesting that the killing had been motivated by money.

For all we know this was and remain solely about money, and if that's your argument I have a long exhausted list of people willing to an commit an array of atrocities and crimes for 'money' including but not limited to Warfare.

Can someone explain to me how state management is done in HTMX? I'm a native Django developer, and I really do like HTMX and wrote my own personal website with it (nothing special, a digital garden). But for my startup, I chose react, and it has pretty much become a SPA, where I need to keep track of so much state. Now, I would love to transition to HTMX, because I find Django a lot more ergonomic to work with. But I couldn't imagine not running into issue managing state.
That have to be kept cool with liquid nitrogen, so it would have to be pretty darn short.
Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
A lot of times with side projects I wished I had gotten feedback early on, before I spent a lot of time on an inefficient direction. I wonder if people wait too long to publish something before it is fully polished, then realized that the polishing wasn't needed.

I'm interested to see things that people would have never published otherwise. I know a lot of my projects never make it to a published phase, but I still would have been interested in knowing the general reception. Please drop your projects here!

so this would become a loop hole - once sold (secretly/discreetly), you claim to want to move the email to a non-personal account (but it's actually controlled by the buyer). Noone would be able to tell the difference between that, and the author actually wanting to move away from using their personal account for the extension.
It's a tough balance, but I'm glad to see your company trying to get this right up front rather than pulling the rug later.

My only concern with Elastic V2 is the vagueness of providing a hosted service to 'third parties'. There are some use cases where organisations might run a platform team that supports this for other teams, or if organisations have third-party contractors who use the service while engaged on work inside an org etc. I think it'd be helpful to make it more specific that the usage has to be commercially competing with your own managed service so you don't torpedo those kinds of internal use cases.
Your experience sounds terrible, and I am sorry you had to go through that.

How is there not an explanation for why Luks1 was still being used at this point??
It's from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle:

A.D. 793. This year came dreadful fore-warnings over the land of the
Northumbrians, terrifying the people most woefully: these were immense sheets
of light rushing through the air, and whirlwinds, and fiery, dragons flying
across the firmament. These tremendous tokens were soon followed by a great
famine: and not long after, on the sixth day before the ides of January in
the same year, the harrowing inroads of heathen men made lamentable havoc in
the church of God in Holy-island, by rapine and slaughter. Siga died on the
eighth day before the calends of March.

"sixth day before the ides of January" is assumed to be a scribal error because of other sources and because Vikings wouldn't raid in January. So, it's assumed to be June, "the ides" is the 13th, and the 6th day before it, presumably, would be the 8th.

>The fact that anyone thinks these things is why I think Social Media has irreparably damaged most people's minds.

Americans have believed it since the country was founded, it's part of their national myth, that they began as a ragtag bunch of drunken rebels who took down the greatest empire in the world with nothing but grit and tenacity (and definitely no help from the French, Spanish and Dutch.)

Jan 6th was such a mess not because it was a psyop to increase surveillance and police budgets (Americans by and large love both of those things during Republican administrations, and the government doesn't need a pretext) but because despite American bluster about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants, all most American gun owners know about actual combat or insurgent operations they learned from playing boomer shooters.

But yes, they absolutely believe the government's fear of the pistols they keep hidden under their pillows is the only thing keeping the US from tilting into hard Stalinist tyranny at any moment.

> The problem 10 years ago was that the electorate was far too picky and rejected candidates who should have been promoted. Today, every potential candidate knows this and self-selects themselves out of standing. There aren't enough outliers who do stand to make much statistical conclusion from there.

Yeah. Everybody got wise to the cliques and power struggles of WP and are put off trying to contribute to it as either an editor (changes instantly reverted) and therefore stops them in their tracks in eventually growing to be an admin.

Same deal as StackOverflow. Petty tiny power users wield that power like a maniac because that's the way they get their jollies, make the experience a chore for the normies, so no newcomers join, and on the site goes, in a wierd reversal of the eternal september effect.

In other cases in real life before the web, i might argue that motorcycles and buicks and HAM radio dealt with this, they got locked into a local culture maxima and have been trapped there ever since, growing stale / ever less appealing to newcomers.

> If a group as a whole is underrepresented in a highly competitive environment like academia, then presumably they have a harder time getting in or staying in.

No, that is fallacious. It could also mean that fewer members of that group try to get in in the first place. That is because there are multiple stages to getting into academia. But the question I was referring to was about the final stage: getting into research math, and then minorities are already under-represented in the pool of people thinking about becoming a research mathematician.

To put it simply, IF a person is a minority and is already in grad school, they will have an easier time going further simply because of equity hiring. That's all I meant.

Does this prohibit one department/team from managing it and offering it as a service to other departments/teams in the same company? Does it prohibit using it in a homelab I share with my friends and family?

Is admin really the natural progression after editor, as you seem to be assuming? IMHO, the interest in the "project" part of Wikipedia that is required to be an admin isn't intrinsically linked to being a prolific and dedicated editor.

Although having a decent number of edits is a de facto requirement for adminship.

NB: there's a lesson here that holds for nearly all of "news". Much of it is either early (partial, erroneous, speculative) accounts of something that's just occurred, speculation about something that might occur, or blather about an event that's scheduled and programmed and has little opportunity for real surprise (though of course that slim chance is played for all it's worth).

If you step back and scan headlines a few days, or weeks, or years, after, you find that almost all of it comes to naught. (Not absolutely all of it, there is some real news, and occasionally a story grips and/or surprises.)

You can spare yourself a tremendous amount of cognitive and emotional strain and whiplash by waiting for the dust to settle. And possibly, cultivating a sense for what might actually be significant. (Early stories of a virus in a city I'd never heard of in China growing at 10x a week caught my attention quickly, as one reasonably recent example.) It's possible to get caught with a normalcy bias, though being prepared to quickly revise your priors helps here.

The LK-99 story reminded me a lot news that broke shortly after I'd first come online via the campus Unix network at uni: the Fleischmann–Pons cold fusion paper. There was a lot of excited discussion, and within a few days I had (courtesy of an FTP server --- this was not only pre-World Wide Web, but pre-Gopher, though we had Usenet) an ASCII-text version of the paper, something I excitedly wrote (via snail mail) home about. And ... after a few weeks ... it turned out to be nothing.

Science, mostly, progresses relatively slowly. Big upsets are rare. Extravagent claims (in a hype-driven and grant-driven world) are increasingly prevalent (it was bad enough 35 years ago, it's worse now).

So this time 'round, I scanned the headlines and some of the discussion, but mostly sat the story out.

The generative-AI story (as another recent example) seems more substantial but still somewhat frothy. Though I strongly do expect that far more capable AI techniques could well emerge quite suddenly and to profound effect.

But when you recognise that a story is largely speculation, especially if it's defending a point of view (Business As Usual / status quo or New World Order / this changes everything, or many views lying betwixt and beyond) recongise many of them as strongly motivated and quite often weakly informed.

My expectation would be that Prime Day just causes AWS to get a little further ahead than normal with provisioning new infrastructure.

With AWS still growing they are constantly having to add hardware. Ahead of Prime Day, I presume they just bring forward new resources that their model otherwise says aren't needed for a few months.

Unavailability for other customers indicates either AWS growth has plateaued, they have hit the limit of throughput of how much hardware they can provision, or they just did their sums wrong.
1) a lot of people live in big cities

2) this Wikipedia contributor seems to prefer providing the best photos to Wikipedia rather than taking the photos themselves. The photography to them is a means to an end, and they have found a better / more efficient way to acquire the photos (better: higher quality due to photographer skill, more efficient because they can manage multiple photographers)

For the other lot of people who don't live in big cities: go document your region on Wikipedia!! Your home is cool! Share it with the world! Contribute to public domain repositories!
It's also nonsense expecting articles to be personally written by doctors and scientists who are also not political in any way is just basically not understanding Wikipedia it's not a primary source.
This seems to fall into a category of pitches where someone knows a secret that will upend the oil industry. The engine that runs on water instead of gasoline is probably the most famous and blatantly grift version of this pitch. During the CRISPR hype cycle there was a pitch for using genetically modified cells that were better at producing ethonal to produce cheap bio-fuels.

In this pitch, the secret sauce is using DC directly from solar cells in budget electrodes to produce cheap hydrogen fuel. I'm skeptical, but not immediately dismissive. I would like to see a prototype electrolyzer running directly off solar panel DC. This feels like a prototype that could be built for less than $1k in materials, and is probably the single largest impact thing he could do to improve his pitch deck.
> It would be like focusing on accessibility when you don't even have a single customer let alone a customer with a handicap.

So you're saying people people with accessibility needs are an afterthought, at best? Can you say a bit more about how you justify designing and shipping a product that only appeals to Americans who read English and happen to be perfect physical specimens?
Likening an electrolyzer to a resistor IS 'puff piece' level writing.
If that’s the only six words you have, it’s not.
Where there is smoke, there is fire. In my observation, forced RTO in tech is just one symptom of larger inefficiencies and mismanagement.

The whole RTO trend in software seems to be just friction-causing busywork for middle managers. People working from where they’re most effective - that should not be “solved”. That is okay as it is. Sometimes doing nothing as a manager is better than doing damage that costs talent, reputation, institutional knowledge, and significant money long-term.

Considering all the harm forced RTO has caused in tech, it seems excessively naive to think it’s the only instance of damage these managers have done.

I would say yes, but not for political reasons, which I pay zero attention to.

I just believe that there is a tremendous amount of pressure (financial and otherwise) to publish, there is academic pressure to toe the line on popular theories, and humans are fallible.

Truly sorry that we missed these instances of "open-source" references. We scrubbed the use of open-source in most places, but forgot about our home page, which might sound weird as the home page is... well... home page. The truth is that our web site is not our primary focus at the moment. Rather we are putting almost all our effort for building the product (You can watch all of it in GitHub).

We don't claim to be "open source" rather we are open and free as in you can see the code and host it yourself if you want. The restriction is that license does not allow building a managed service out of it.
