The engagement ring I bought my (now) wife has a main Moissanite stone (clear), a ring of artificial emeralds, and artificial diamond accent stones (clear). The fact that we can artificially produce gemstones is really cool, green is my favorite color, there are no negative ethical implications from mining, and it makes for a very pretty ring. And it cost a lot less than an equivalent-sized diamond, even an artificial one.
Yes. This video posted two days ago about CO2 heat pumps talks about heating both water and the air in your home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npqzHpeIvhM
> None of what I've done is out of reach for anyone else.

Yes it is.

It's important to look for the privileges you were born into that allowed you to get to where you are now. Because not everyone starts at the same starting line. It's great that you have such a strong work ethic and are so self reliant but life comes at you fast, and sometimes you need some outside help. Illness, accidents, family emergencies, wildfires/tornadoes/hurricanes/earthquakes/etc; those things happen and you need help, whether its from the government or from your employer or your church or church-equivalent.

It's great that you've got such a good relationship with your employer. But there are others that don't have that same relationship, and are being exploited and are being treated unfairly by their employer. Thanks to the US' H1-B system, they may not have the luxury of quitting under those circumstances like you do.

Not everyone has access to the same community support structure as you do. It's great that you have one! But for those that don't, their workplace can be a lifeline.

Look at the bigger picture. If your boss was assaulting a co-worker with his fists, what would you do? Yell at your co-worker and tell them to have more self-respect? Why, when it's financial or cultural instead shouldn't you stand up for them as well?

>The only people who sneer that it is not a "real" diamond do not belong in our social circle.

Clearly, I'm not in that circle either. If someone shows me their ring that they a clearly proud of, just finding the gall to even dare asking "is it real" is so beyond me that I don't really even know where to begin. It's not like it's a knock off hand bag that these same people seem to embrace, so I really am quite content (more than that really) that I'm not in those circles.

Congrats on having a good experience with that whole process.

Targeted advertising is a way to sell unused inventory on smaller sites. Large sites can still afford to do direct-deal ads, showing huge banners on the top of cnn.com because they have a diverse enough set of users that the advertiser doesn't particularly care who sees it. Smaller sites need targeted ads because the margins are incredibly thin without them. Smaller sites also don't have dedicated ad buying teams, and so they use the open ad exchanges to fill unsold inventory at an auction. Without ad targeting, the prices at auctions would be much smaller. Like it or not, targeted ads and the open source exchange ecosystem is what keeps smaller publishers from getting swallowed up by the big boys

Targeted advertising has existed in some way since we invented advertising. Knowing that certain people (e.g: rich vs poor) are more likely to live near a certain billboard informs you whether or not you should buy a billboard there. Nielsen has been collecting data on TV watchers since the 1950s and that informed the TV networks which timeslots and on what channels they should advertise on, and what they should pay.

We need to have laws on how we target advertising. Reddit, for example, allows you to target ads to specific subreddits, rather than users. Most people are fine with this idea, since it doesn't require reddit to know anything about the user, just about what page is the user on. This kind of targeted advertising is the most common, as sites will share information with ad exchanges on the type of content which is available on their site (rather than having to track the user themself).
To me these intricate classification system fall in the same category as people developing very advanced note taking setups, dotfile management tools or fully customisable, reproducible shell/IDE/editor setups. Very nice ideas on paper, but you can get most of the way with far less effort if you mostly stick to the defaults. Trying to perfect it to death ends up looking like busywork and frequently causes conflicts with other team members less obsessed with these secondary issues

The main issue with your idea is that an LLM won't know if the algorithm it created is any good, or even if it works at all. If it can't check that it will never know and never get better. You could ask it to generate a number of algorithms and then yourself choose the best one but then you have worked as a team, the LLM did not plan anything.

They really should just say "taffy". It's only "saltwater taffy" if they're selling it on a boardwalk next to the ocean. There's no salt-water in saltwater taffy. It just has the name because they sell it to tourists in Ocean City.

Yeah, that's just language pedantry. But the physics of it is all about the chemistry, not the marketing. Taffy is physically the same wherever you make it.
Ask HN: Adventurous IT Jobs
I love IT and I love outdoors & adventures. Reading stories of someone working in Antarctica makes me feel happy for them, and also brings envy. I know the standard recommendation to combine IT + adventure is to just earn enough to be able to travel, or something along those lines. However, I’m looking to for a way to make adventure as part of my daily life. I get bored out of my mind living a “standard lifestyle”. And travel for the sake of it feels shallow. I was wondering how could I find something that is IT related but is not tied to sitting in an office all day? The most interesting jobs seem to be “on the field” type of jobs for nurses, social workers and such, but perhaps there is a niche for us IT people as well?

Oh okay, I thought this was a station that was hiring internationally or something like that. I guess I'd be curious then if the station was significantly whiter than the science population of the US. Again, this is trying to observe this in a good faith as a reasonable thing to say/do. I'm assuming this is a reasonably competent person, and I can definitely see in modern day it might be something worth commenting as noticeable to be in the company of almost exclusively white people.
> They play by themselves, for themselves.

The same can be said of actors, and yet they have a union/guild.

> And the coincidence that they earn less might have something to do with how nobody can name anyone outside of the top handful of players.

Few can name most of the benchwarmers in the NBA/NFL/etc, and yet they have a minimum salary: NHL is $775K, NFL is $800K.

Carlos Alcaraz is the top player and made US$ 10M (gross, not net) in 2022: he would be the 147th top-paid athlete in the NBA, 202nd in the NFL, 126th in the MLB.

This is phrased as if you can't talk about the salience of a minority race and gender experience without racist and sexist deification of the minority and, as if by Netwon's third law, shitting on the majority.

I can certainly imagine developing a complex extension intended for publication in the marketplace can involve a very different experience.

I had in mind only the kind of extension a user might write for personal use, which may often involve adding some simple functionality (usually some event listener, e.g. intercepting auto-completion to do some filtering). I find it very convenient to be able to change the code and have the changes instantaneously reflected in the editor itself (rather than some sandboxed environment) and wish it were possible to do the same in VSCode

My friend and I are working on a sort of synthesizer and we have trouble enough sourcing parts for our prototypes let alone having a stock of everything for 7 years!

> Utah's agricultural water usage is overwhelmingly (68%) alfalfa and hay, of which 30% gets sent overseas [0].

Surely the right solution is to set an appropriate price for the use of water and let the market figure it out. If exported alfalfa is actually an economically appropriate use of limited water, fine. If not, then it would be uneconomical with appropriately priced water.

(Or perhaps it would be economical with appropriately priced water, but growers would need to become more efficient. That would be fine, too.)

Basically, it's snake oil. These companies are taking people's money by selling drugs that do not work using false promises. The FDA is was established to combat this sort of scam, but somehow FDA seems to have allowed these companies to legally market this useless crap without actually confirming effectiveness.

Sure, there were reasons to make it more difficult to obtain a certain type of drug. Fine. There are obviously economic effects of these regulations on the manufacturers. Somehow these companies found a loophole to fill the gap by making it easy to buy useless bullshit.

This is massive egg on the FDA's face and I'm really curious how this happened and what's going to be done to prevent it happening again.

I have a nice 4 post one. The alarm was annoying and I eventually turned it off to remind me to stand. I didn’t always hear it with headphones on anyways.

Now several months later I sit less and less because my chair isn’t terribly comfortable over long periods of time especially in summer.

I spoke to a physical therapist with 30 years experience who said posture doesn’t matter and you will always adjust or get comfortable anyways.

Being able to push my entire chair under the desk is nice.

US law in that area looks more at consumer harm, not incidental harm to other companies, IIRC. There's a separate way to get in trouble here around predatory pricing, but I think that's more complicated (you have to be doing it specifically to drive people out of business). It depends on what the rest of the market does. See https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

Specifically

> Pricing below a competitor's costs occurs in many competitive markets and generally does not violate the antitrust laws. Sometimes the low-pricing firm is simply more efficient. Pricing below your own costs is also not a violation of the law unless it is part of a strategy to eliminate competitors, and when that strategy has a dangerous probability of creating a monopoly for the discounting firm so that it can raise prices far into the future and recoup its losses.

I do think tools to manage this stuff... basically don't exist, so I'm sympathetic to the argument that while there's mostly equivalency between data and software stacks, software stacks are way more on the rails than data stacks are. Which is to say, I have seen this stuff work well with experienced data engineers, but I think you need more experience to get the same success on the data side than you do on the software side.

JVM Language Summit 2023 Keynote [video]
Fussell marked a lot of this behavior as related to class-socialization. I’ve sometimes found it hard to tell where my attitudes differing from my parents’ and other older relatives’ is part of a generational shift, and where it’s because theirs all fall very much in a range of every-flavor-of-prole through middle (in Fussell’s terms), while I’ve both accidentally and on-purpose adopted a lot of upper-middle (again, as Fussell breaks the terms down) preferences and attitudes. This can easily happen entirely unconsciously just from, say, going to college.

I’m with you on disliking useless or near-useless rooms (formal dining room when we already have a large eat-in area in the kitchen? LOL no, that’s an office now) and finding “collectibles” or curio cabinets full of never-used and not-even-particularly-nice (but even if they were—you should use things unless they’re purely art!) e.g. dishes practically repulsive, but I’m not sure how much of that’s generational and how much if it’s my own small, but significant, class shift.
