I remember comparing AutoIt and AutoHotKey to pick which one to learn. The community being really open and seemingly twice as large at the time was why I selected AHK. Shame about the language syntax though, I still fight with it. But it is very powerful.
> What's the mechanism that allows the acceleration to drop, without dropping to zero though?

The expansion rate drops because the energy density goes down due to the expansion. However, the dark energy density aka cosmological constant does not go down, therefore providing a nonzero floor.

> Is the dark matter not expanding with everything else

This has nothing to do with dark matter in particular, and it’s space itself that’s expanding, not matter. Also, the expansion has no center, the universe is expanding at every point. Some types of matter expanding and others not would imply a center.

I disagree with all those points. The ones who struggle the most likely fail.
Consciousness research is just a collection of pet theories. It's silly to be dismissive of people floating their own ideas when the whole field is just own ideas built on liberal axionomic assumptions and inflated with neuroscience vernacular.

When you have a meter stick that can measure consciousness, then you can ride around on your high horse dispensing empirical smack downs of armchair concepts.

And I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your take on the tech bros. They're often embarrassingly over confident in their takes too.
Back when syntax was a challenge for me and documentation more scarce generally, and, perhaps even more than I’d like to admit to this day, I find myself mentally thinking of programming as ‘begging a computer to do things.’

Current models of consciousness that I've encountered seem incomplete, it feels like there's still a few key insights missing.

I think it'll eventually be possible to build consciousness in AI, but expect it'll be regulated fairly quickly. In particular, building a torment nexus or variants should be illegal. If it's possible to complete a task using non-conscious AI then using a conscious AI to do it should probably be restricted, if not straight up illegal.

The way people here are talking about disregarding any concepts of AI rights is a bit concerning. Hopefully the roles never become reversed and we don't build any "AGI gods" with a deep hatred towards humanity. It's not guaranteed that humanity will always remain at the top of the cognitive hierarchy, so it's better to act with some humility and kindness when you have the opportunity to do so. Just because some entity might be fully digital in nature doesn't mean it's wholly undeserving of empathy.
With a disposable you'll need to be more intentional about how you want to capture moments. You only have 20 shots and no extra features to create the "best" shot. You begin to really value moments when you know that it'll make the cut for one of the 20. And you don't over think it. Just a quick snap is all you can do. Every shot matters but at the same time doesn't.
Just look at the negative tone towards all things Russia in their posts. This type of emotionally driven attitude clouds judgement.

And sure, there’s plenty to criticize about Russian politics but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a space contender.

Heck, replace Russia with India. India has a ton of basic problems but that is not stopping them from competing.
Thanks. I'll see if I can detect blocked js to show an alternate layout.
No such point was made (regarding a royal family).

Incidentally, the Royal Family themselves privately own 1/250th of the UK's land, and it is mostly not particularly valuable. Only about £15bn.

As a proportion this is only four times what the richest private landowner (the Emmersons) in the USA owns of the USA. And the Emmersons have come by their share pretty quickly by comparison, wouldn't you say?

The Duke of Westminster (not a member of the royal family) has a physically much smaller (private) estate that is worth more than half of the royal estate.

What the royal family own privately should not be confused with what the "Crown" owns. The Crown estate is basically owned and operated by the state.

I sometimes like to remind myself that there are lots of things we do competently here in the U.S. Our medical system, for example, converts a public problem into private profit in a way that is unrivaled in the developed world.
Sororities and fraternities are one thing. But young men and women and their families in the USA want to join elite fraternities and sororities because this can give a person a huge advantage in post-university employment, and possibly allow you to extract financial benefits for decades afterward. And this is true of student societies historically and in many other countries today.
I'm amazed how often an american survey has 1/3rd choosing the absurd answer. It's a surprisingly stable result.

A third of Americans don't believe in evolution:

https://phys.org/news/2014-01-americans-dont-evolution.html (2014, but they got similar results in 2009)

Two-Thirds of Americans Think Government Should Do More on Climate

https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/06/23/two-thirds-of...

while 35% view Trump favorably
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/21/little-ch...

And coincidentally 35% think Trump is somewhat or very religious
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/03/25/most-amer...

Of course there's many items where a majority of American's have been confused into believing stuff that's not true, but there seems to be a solid floor of disagreement with reality that lies under that at around 1 in 3.

I guess a key question is if it is the same third every time.
I don't believe people act the way they do based on one moral framework or another, nor that they have as many choices anyway. I'm not even sure Hitler was too exceptional, beyond his position of power. I think most people act impulsively most of the time, and that sometimes their actions can be retroactively justified.

As another example, I don't think the perpetrators of the rape of Nanking were exceptional men; I think most of them were ordinary men in an exceptional situation. If that's not the case, then I can't reconcile that with how many pillages have happened throughout history.

> Possibly a dumb question: can the tension between the two rates simply be resolved because one method measures an old historical rate and one method measures the current rate

This is already generally being accounted for (assuming we have the correct cosmological model for the Universe). The CMB measurement is probing the Universe at an early state (when the Universe was ~380,000 years old) and the Hubble "constant", H(t=380,000 yr), was different at that point from what it is now, H_0 = H(t=13.7 billion years). The comparison to the current Hubble constant (e.g., determined from Cepheids) is made by evolving the CMB Hubble "constant" value to today, under the assumption of our best cosmological model model.

Of course, if we have the wrong cosmological model, then that could be a reason for the discrepancy, and that might point to "new physics". Alternately there may be some systematic in the Cepheid technique that is causing our H_0 estimate to be somewhat off.
I'm not certain I agree with you about the only advantages: the moon also has the advantage of being much closer for emergency supply and rescue missions.

I grew up loving space. I still do. I think it’s in humanity’s nature to explore, experiment, expand.

But if we can’t fix the home we have, what reason is there that humanity expand into space? How do we know we won’t f that up too?

Our current home needs our collective imagination and creativity more than the moon, or space.

Once we solve this problem we can move on, but until we do, space exploration is narcissistic manifest destiny escapism at a species wide level.
The optimal place for a Moon base is likely one of the permanently lit parts near the poles, which are thought to stay at a fairly constant -50 C or so.

For comparison, the average surface temperature on Mars is -60 C.

Powershell does take a while to become fun. Key thing (I assume you know this?) is that while bash pipes a string-stream, powershell pipes a stream of structured objects. This is powerfull but also quite confusing sometimes.

The other key thing is that Powershell has straight access to the whole .NET framework (or whatever its called these days) except you've gotta switch to .CallSomeMethod(with,brackets) syntax for that.

This list of common Gotchas on SO was useful to me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69644807/22194

Powershell is quite good at working with CSV: Import-CSV, Export-CSV, Where-Object, Select-Object, Sort-Object, Group-Object etc become quite handy when used together.
There's "catastrophic injury/health" insurance in the U.S. You just don't get it by default. I did a bit of research into the topic in the past and my takeaway is that if you buy the right insurance packages you get pretty much the same coverage in the U.S. that you'd get here (Germany) except you have the option not to do it. From what I gather it's also not that much more expensive, I'd argue the quality of care in the U.S. is probably better (it's pretty high in Germany but the U.S. is probably the #1 in the world on average) and the service quality for someone with this kind of insurance package is better for sure (longer waiting times in Germany for certain procedures/issues for example). All of this is assuming you're lucky enough to have a decent job/salary (which we are as tech people).

I guess it looks more grim for the "lower end of the spectrum" in the U.S.
My mental model of Tokyo changed a lot when rental scooters became available. Especially traveling East-West, there are a lot of places much closer together than you'd think from the subway maps.
“Humans are into humans. But capitalism isn’t, that much.”

I wish more people on HN would understand this. Capitalism isn’t your friend. It give you short term wins but in the end, the negative externalities can add up hurt everyone including the vast majority of those who were winning initially.

At first, in all transactions, A and B win at the expense of C. Ancaps only look at A and B being better off. But in the end, almost everyone is a C, and the externalized costs add up for them all.

We need to switch to a more sustainable system before it’s too late. Capitalism’s negative externalities are also destroying the environment and running up an ecological credit card that future generations will have to pay.

It's confusing because that quote about "expansion rate decreasing" is in the caption of a picture with a giant "Accelerating Expansion" label at present time.
The moons gravity is sufficiently low that you can build a space elevator out of already existing materials[1]

That's a big deal, because it vastly simplifies orbital infrastructure, which in turn makes it realistic to think of returning materials to Earth or sending them to resupply ships further out.

One thing people get surprised by is that “local” is often more expensive. But that’s local at retail. If you keep digging, you can find things like CSA (community supported agriculture) and get to personally know farmers, and then you can get the price for some things down (roadside stands around here in season beat Walmart handily).

But for things like meat, you’ll never get small farm steak for cheaper than Walmart or Aldi - because the cows aren’t shoved in intensive dense cages. But the price will beat similar quality meats.

The other key is learning to cook what is “in season” (see https://www.saltfatacidheat.com/ for general advice) - there’s a short period locally where strawberries become almost free. Get in tune with the seasons and eat the appropriate foods and your bills drop precipitously.

Sure, you won’t eat strawberries in winter because you’re not having them shipped from Brazil, but you’ll also get a varied table.

The other main thing I would say is get used to eating ugly foods. A local farmer can give you “factory seconds” - plants that are perfectly fine but LOOK bad - for cheap.

Also keep an eye on waste - buying fifty pounds of potatoes for cheap from Costco is NOT a deal if half of them end up going to seed; getting a feel for how much you will actually use and not throw away brings the costs down further. Otherwise you’re throwing money directly in the trash (or compost pile, if you’re cooking at home you should be composting because soon you’ll be wanting to grow your own, even if it’s just herbs).
Obviously not airport-related, but one of the hospitals I frequent has pianos in the lobbies of some of the buildings. Every now and again one of the doctors will use it, and it fills an otherwise drab, institutional space with a bit of joy.

My observation is that it's used in the afternoons to blow off anxiety, though it seems to get used most often in the mornings. I like to imagine it's the doctors loosening up their fingers before doing surgery.

I wonder if lack of a fraternity and sorority scene in the UK, is due to the fact networking among the children of the elites in the UK starts even earlier in life, at public schools. Historically, by the time you went up to a university, you were already well set on an elite path.

Total was 90km. It was a mostly straight shot from west edge of tokyo to the east edge passing through central tokyo. It's one of many routes and I only saw a small slice of it. It's a bit of a labyrinth at times if you don't stick to the main roads. I hit a lot of roadblocks and winding paths through residential areas. I didn't want to overplan though. Getting lost was part of the goal. All I knew was that I had to head east.

Ask HN: Did quitting tech lead to a good or bad outcome for you?
I'm absolutely, completely, totally burnt out on the entire tech industry. I've tried switching jobs, switching companies, and taking time off between. Today is my one year anniversary with my current company, and I can think of nothing except quitting.

But when I look at tech job boards, nothing excites me anymore enough to even apply. I like solving technical problems, but that's about the extent of my interest in the tech sector anymore. I hate modern software development methodologies and their rituals. I literally have a gag reflex at the thought of attending more meetings. Almost everything that I see big tech touch I see it making worse, and small tech seems to exist primarily to support big tech while trying to emulate it. I just can't do this industry anymore.

Did you quit? What did you do next? Were you happy with the outcome, or disappointed by it? I grew up in poverty, so my biggest fear is the loss of income, so I need to find some assurance to myself that I can find something I like better than tech that at least makes enough to pay the bills.
