I wish the article had more about next generation technologies in context of the challenges with the traditional solutions it went through.

Covering Eavor would have been very interesting. https://www.eavor.com

Many of the issues with many of the power plants seem to be related to minerals in the water you get from the well. With Eavor the water should be clean as it’s a closed loop. The costs of drilling such wells are obviously high, but the power plant itself may be simpler and easier to maintain. Like, if the temperature is high enough, I guess you can do make a very simple Dry-Steam power plant without the high maintenance costs mentioned as a disadvantage.
Unfortunately in North America at least the dominant churches are politically, ideologically and increasingly "theologically" onside with wars and other fairly awful things that the government is involved in.

Grew up in an evangelical church in Alberta, Canada. It's just gotten more and more political and more and more explicitly right-wing ideological.

That and a lot of the good work many churches do is strings-attached.

That's not to say there isn't amazing charity work being done by many churches and some amazing Christian humanitarian charity work generally. But when I pay my taxes I know that the distribution of the funds is nominally under some democratic and legal governance that is not attached to someone's personal belief system. (Though that is also degrading over time)

(FWIW I've personally donated funds to charities that have church / religious affiliations despite being an atheist. But I'm extremely picky about it)

There is a significant degree of double taxation for overseas Americans, the credit only covers a subset of common cases. It is not uncommon to pay more taxes as an American overseas than you would pay to each country separately if you were only filing in one.

Looks fine in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari here. The red comments are a little hard to read, but aren't terribly important. If this truly is a contender for "worst contrast ever" for you, then something in your setup is messing things up.

I guess it _is_ traditional to have a comment complaining about contrast on hackernews though, so… well done?
Rising stock price helps a public corporation directly because corporations own their own stock, too. A high price allows a company to sell some of those shares, or issue new shares. Among other things.
Trivial in a technical sense but monitoring capabilities (hopefully) have increased in kind.
With a firewall, the application knows its public-facing ipv6 address/src port number without STUN. A stateful firewall does not alter packets.

It can open the firewall simply by sending something. If it can communicate its public-facing ipv6 address/src port number to the remote side using a SIP proxy (ok, for this signalling, you need a relay), it can receive traffic. No TURN needed either.

What scenario do you have in mind?

Eh. I studied math at an elite university with a lot of people who ended up at these secretive quant hedge funds. They're undeniably brilliant, and as per GP also extremely motivated and hard working (brilliance alone doesn't cut it!).

They're also heavily dependent on collaboration with others, availability of data, the existence of the right tools, and so on. Unlike in comic books, raw intelligence alone doesn't get you very far. But put a bunch of very smart people together for a decade+ with a lot of money on their hands and you can definitely make magic happen.

How so?

I would have thought that is a good example of a law placing an upper limit on risk in a very black and white way.

Maybe exemptions for passing on single lane roads might be a net reduction of risk but I can’t think of any other grey areas.

There are still tax disadvantages for some married couples (used to be all, assuming both worked).

However, there are also plenty of welfare programs that are means tested so marriage is ruled out.

(One of the leading theories for the number of babies born out of wedlock rising so much since the early 1960s is the end of the shotgun wedding: the baby daddy counters by pointing out that the mom will lose out on a lot of benefits if she gets married)
The US taxing you anywhere you live is only possible because of the premium people place on US citizenship. Even so, some people elect to give it up when they emigrate somewhere else.
Judging by the thread here, the very premise seems difficult to imagine today. But there was a time, indeed, when end users regularly logged in to a Unix system as themselves, and their shell specified the program they could run, like a line of business app or something, and short of exploiting a vulnerability in that app, that was all they could access, sitting there at a physical terminal typing on a keyboard. There just weren’t that many other ways to spawn a process.

Meanwhile, these days, it seems like the only user ever running anything is docker, and “access control” has an entirely different set of meanings.
Less "I was following orders" and more "my job is the make the company money". And sure, if I had to make the company money in the next quarter or two there's no initiative I can make on the technical end to launch a new product and run up buzz. Unity tried doing that all throughout the pandemic with a bunch of expansion to other industries (automotive, sports, construction, etc.).

So in comes the fees. But then those pesky LTS means nothing I charge to 2024 Unity will stick next quarter, nor all of 2024. The only question at this point is why I chose to do install based fees instead of the Rev share model standard in every other industry. It might have worked if they undercut Unreal and said "we'll only charge 2% of revenue after $1m". I wonder what the CTO was thinking because everywhere I've read suggests that there is simply no effective and ethical way to track installs as a Middleware.
While FTC helps with most things, you can still get knocked for stuff that doesn’t fit into the US tax code. Like stamp duty - you’re taxed in the UK when buying property, then taxed in the US when selling (you’re exempt in the UK on your primary property).

A while back I spent a decent amount of time trawling through literature in an attempt to figure out the ground truth for protein intake.

My takeaways were:

- People often conflate "body mass" with "lean body mass". If you have a ton of extra fat on you that does not imply you need to eat more protein to retain/grow muscle mass. Lean muscle mass is the right calculation. For an average individual, this is ~15-20% reduction from body mass.

- Oddly, I saw people often conflating "kg" and "lb". 1kg = 2.2lb.

- There are numerous studies which reference ~1.5g per 1kg as a floor and north of ~2.0g protein as still providing benefit without concern for energy. A quick Google yields:

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5852756/ (270 citations)
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6680710/ (87 citations)
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3529694/ (148 citations)
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5477153/ (919 citations)

- When you crunch the numbers, it's really not that challenging to achieve. I'm a 195lb male, average/good fitness level, assume 18% body fat. So, lean mass of ~160lb / ~72.5kg resulting in 145g protein as an upper threshold.

Here's what I ate yesterday: https://i.imgur.com/fVgtvnl.png

I could reduce the amount of chicken I eat by over half, and skip adding chocolate whey to my yogurt, and still be above the maximum suggested guidelines. I could eliminate eating chicken and whey and still be above the minimum suggested guidelines.

Conversely, if I just ate chicken and whey with Greek yogurt, I would still be above the minimum suggested guidelines without eating a single bit of protein in any of my other foods.

Also, it's possible to swap out the chicken with Tofu/Tempeh if you're vegetarian. Firm Tofu is 17g/protein per 100g, Tempeh is 19g, chicken breast is 31g.
If I had to guess it would be higher amount of capital investment as a requirement and its impact on scaling - physical things can't just explode in-a-good-way the same way software can. This means both more time and more capital is required to scale up.

Incumbents benefit from economies of scale and newcomers face dis-economies of scale. Which we know takes time from the economies Growing new competitors becomes hard and requires some cleverness to get around. Just look at electric cars and how they choose luxury/sports cars as their first models for a reason, so that the higher costs can be hidden in the high luxury margins. They need to be able to grow past that awkward point.

The same economies of scale which made the industrial revolution possible essentially props up "gigantic idiots" (companies which perform poorly but are sizable enough that their economies of scale made up for bad habits) until their "stupidity" (bad decisions) becomes great enough a disadvantage that others can compete with them.

The type of disruption that the manufacturing companies seem to engender is funding outsourcing to some remote cheap locale, and then wake up wondering where all of their competitors came from after they taught people enmasse how to build their product.

Interesting parallels with the iPhone development.[1]

Tony Fadell was credited with creating the iPod and tasked with porting it to a phone with Apple's P1 project. Jobs picked Scott Forstall to lead a competing clean slate effort (P2). Jobs ultimately went with the P2 design and Fadell later came on to market it - later crediting himself as the creator of the iPhone.

I agree with you, this is a great assessment. And of course I'm in group two. I'm sure it's the router's fault, but other than IPv6 it works great, so there isn't really much reason to change it or dig into it. I'll just wait until I actually need v6 and then worry about it.

Yeah, you're going to have trouble getting enough calories for hard work from eating broccoli for that matter. Wheat contains a lot of protein for a grain although it is terribly imbalanced and is best when complemented. Note protein requirements are higher when calorie input is low

It may not be true from the perspective of evolutionary biology. But 90% of the time I've heard this referenced (our "primitive brain") it's a useful device for discussing the parts of our psychology we have in common with more primitive members of the animal kingdom. That's not to contradict the article whatsoever, which is explicitly addressed to psychologists who, I concur, should be educated and clear on the distinction between a rhetorical device and real biology.
It took a while for the stock to tank and not rise
if only psychology was a real science where hypothesis are thoroughly tested and tests are independently reproduced.

Ask HN: How serious is the WebP bug?
I have not seen any in-depth coverage of this so I thought I would ask HN and perhaps people with more expertise can provide clarity.

For starters, the context:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37478403

https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_11.html?m=1

——————

Google themselves said in their update that they found the vulnerability thanks to Citizen Lab, does this mean that the CVE affects and can be exploited in more than just browsers - realistically speaking.

The CVE was assigned specifically to Chrome and it says “through a maliciously crafted HTML page”, but wasn’t the iOS bug specific to iMessage?

That is also the part I don’t understand fully.

Quite a few software/projects have pushed an update for their libwebp versions now, so that’s why I am curious.

Old college buddy switches around between fintech executive, State Department fixer, and finance journo. I asked him the same question about RT back in 2018, and his[1] reply was memorable:

"Secret sauce is always 'insider trading'"

He expanded on that a bit to also include buying up all the critical fiber nodes between the trading datacenters, and also laying down a new kind of fiber side by side with the old ones that's a teensy bit faster, and most critically, it knows how much faster it is. But the really big breaks - again, according to this buddy, who of course none of you know, so this has zero credibility - always come back to what's basically spies.

I don't think he's correct because of simple economics - spies and insider trades aren't going to be a smooth curve, and your investors will be pissed if one year you give them 5000% and the next 12%. Sure, you can move the money around to make a curve, but will your board let you do that? But yknow what? I don't work in the industry, so benefit of the doubt goes to the buddy who does. I'm not sure I could deal with working in the industry, given that the financial industry's done more to break this country than any other singular force. I would overdose in irony.

On a lighter note - I saw a chat message that started with "Hey dude! How is it going". I'm disappointed that the response was not https://nohello.net/en/.
People who have been using the old name for years? Yeah, probably—but then I still call sports stadiums by the names I first learned them as, as well as gas stations. Heck, a few years back I had to deliberately force myself to stop using the term "open apple key".

But people who learn it for the first time will learn the new name, and official maps (etc) will all use the new name, and that's probably good enough.

>I think a Code of Conduct stating "Be kind and show respect to each other" would be sufficient.

You're missing the (IMO) point of a CoC: to pre-empt unnecessary discussions on what e.g. "show respect" means.

Basically, if you write explicit rules up-front like "don't call schlems a bunch of wafters", and someone says "hey, you bunch of wafters" in \#schlem then we don't have to re-hash a dumbass philosophy discussion yet again about whether moderators really have a right to censor free speech about $TOPIC.

In other words, a CoC is like a FaQ you tell assholes to go read when they claim what they're doing is fine and accepted. This is good because it helps keep the topic to actually interesting technical discussion.
But when the person asking was management, and asking for the tenth time, there was a decided advantage to changing the tone.

All of that is now wrapped up in the initialism.
You are clearly discussing a shared database for concurrent transaction processing ("you want 24/7 unattended operation"), not people editing application document files.

Setting aside technological details, multiple clients operating on independent rows of the same table can only, at worst, waste time by retrying a transaction, while multiple concurrent users attempting to modify the same document are asking for trouble, and if they succeed they probably succeed at corrupting the document.

Even without lock contention the aggregate document state can be incoherent (for example, Alice and Bruno edit a text, but they accidentally modify the same section and the latest save prevails and nobody notices).
Same problem, different source. Bloating nightmare.

Also, they do eat broccoli, maybe you don't but it's always touted as an alternative protein when veganism and vegetarianism is brought up.

The other way to do this is to leave seed trees on the block in addition to replanting with 3-4 other species. They do this in British Columbia now.

When a block is logged, cones from that block are taken to regrow seedlings to plant there. It doesn't work as well if you try to seed from different elevations or far away areas.
That's a lot of words from someone who clearly has very little perspective on their relationship.
So we should be subsidizing every small town in the hopes that maybe some day they begin contributing back to society? Can I go into the mountains and demand a sewage line and hospital be built next to me?
Not all churches engage in this behavior. You appear to hold some pretty strong and uncharitable assumptions.
The Ins and Outs of Focus (PDF 2.1mb)
The math shows that the only things that matter when it comes to depth of field are focus distance and aperture size. There are no circle of confusion controls on cameras. It also shows that hyperfocal distances are not the best way to shoot with wide angle lenses for maximum DOF.
I don't think that's been sociologically plausible for many decades. Some things are easy to tear down and nearly impossible to build back up.

In some circles, the mere suggestion that this should be a policy goal is insulting, as it hints that single-parent homes are inferior. Our government isn't really allowed to prefer one over the other, even if it would result in less misery.

Furthermore, the tools that government has at its disposal to encourage two-parent households are few and clumsy. No decision to stay together has ever hinged on a slightly higher tax exemption, or some other priority access to the bureaucracy.

The writer's room of some Hollywood sitcom has more power than Congress in these matters. I doubt very much that they are interested in giving up on the show that makes jokes that discourage such, but even if they did, that's one show when the real culprit is the entire weight of the entertainment industry.

We might as well talk about how it should be a policy goal to raise the speed of light to 750,000 miles per second.
Thank god for JXA. Despite its abysmal documentation, it's at least a sane programming language with a 1-1 mapping from AppleScript.
Hey, author here. We use machine learning to generate a list of _optimization passes_ for the compiler to run. These optimization passes give us a 3.0% improvement over the default (-Oz), and are what generates correct code. We don't do anything to the code that breaks semantics (assuming no bugs in the compiler passes; some nuance is needed here ;) ).

We also train the model to generate what it thinks the optimized code will look like. We find that this helps the model choose better pass lists, but obviously the code cannot be trusted and semantics are not guaranteed. It only compiles in 91% of cases. "Perfectly emulating the output of the compiler" means the model spat out code that is character-for-character identical to what the compiler generates with the given pass list (even choosing the same variable names etc). IMO this is no mean feat, but is still a long way to go before using LLMs for codegen. We provide a bunch of examples in the paper of things that LLMs can and cannot do.
