I think our approaches aren't entirely dissimilar, despite the language around "impulses." e.g., I've had trouble letting myself take breaks when I feel like I'm behind at work, and it often turns into a feedback loop. For me, "following my impulses" here means letting myself off the hook for long enough to recharge. I have a cutoff for work hours (or at least, I let myself give up for the day after a certain time.) I try to spend time on things I think are valuable, but in a way that avoids constantly fighting with myself.

When I've tried Pomodoros / structured time management, the task paralysis has always shifted to encompass the techniques themselves, and I tend to easily tune out alarms.

I think it ultimately comes down to having that space for experimentation and failure
As a long time gamer, it looks like I prefer small indie games for skill/exploration based play and AAA games for linear, narrative rich experience.
I find this very interesting. If you work as an ethical hacker, I believe you see the blackhat potential there.

But you don't see the positive, you just have faith. That's beautiful in a way, but dangerous too. Just like the common idea that "I have faith that somebody will find a technological solution to climate change". When the risk is that high, I think we should take a step back and don't bet our survival on faith.

> A physicists dismissing philosophy as out of date implies that we are already on the optimum path to discovering the remaining knowledge about the universe to be learned.

Does not follow. It suffices that such a physicist thinks philosophy isn't going to improve on science (like it hasn't so far).

It might turn out alchemy will become useful, but it's unlikely. And bear in mind alchemy provided more results than philosophy so far.

There might be something else, even better than science, that's an independent question. But why people assume philosophy will necessarily be involved in any way?

This is the trick that philosophy and religion uses that frustrates me the most. They claim all the territory we don't know anything about as if their own it and shout "scientism" and "dogmatism" when people protest :)
>something like aesthetic loot crates are a sideshow

No, they are very much a part of the experience. The anticipation of the reward and the tension build while the opening animation plays is an addiction mechanism. This is why we wrap presents and why “blind bags” are so successful (and also why toddlers will watch “surprise egg” videos for hours).

> The empirical evidence is simply the fact that gravity exists; if there's no graviton then how does gravity work?

According to GR, gravity per se is a kind of illusion caused by the movement of particles in a curved space-time. The more basic effect is spacetime curving itself around mass(/energy).

Now, whether this interaction itself is quantized or not (if the curvature comes in integer multiples) remains unknown. It is very much possible that gravity/space-time curvature is a different kind of effect than the other three fundamental interactions, and that it is not in fact qunatized, so there is no graviton.

And unto string theory, the problem with it is that it doesn't explain anything new. It posits some ideas of how gravity might work in a qunatized form, but any actual tests of the correctness of those calculations requires studying a black hole up close, which won't happen very soon. And of course, it infamously does so at the cost of adding lots of new elements to physics (extra dimensions, extra particles) none of which are testable or observed. And it still doesn't fix other problems of QM/QFT, most notably the measurement problem.

Plus, there is no actual need for String Theory to say that it's the best option we've got for X. For whatever we want to model, we can use either QFT or GR.

Ask HN: Product that lets you self host customer's Git repo
Assuming a customer has given you read access to their github repos. You now want to be able to deploy one of git repos, with all the goodness of uptime, self healing, exposing api's, logs, etc all in a sandboxed environment so that is safe.

Almost like white label hosting. Dokku would work if it wasn't so tightly coupled with git.

Nice to haves:

- open source / self hosted

Has anyone solved this or know of a good tool for this use case?
In what way would this cut down on wasted medications? Because it’s portioned? FYI you can still find pharmacies that will pack your medications in blister packs for a nominal surcharge or sometimes free. Or just use a pill box.
This is one of the reasons that suicide by tylenol - which is reportedly very drawn out and extremely painful - is so common in the US compared to other countries.

It has been replaced by PDF as an export and interchange format but you will still come across tons of (legacy) EPS logos and assets from companies that get included in documents all the time.

Its not impossible that DJI could have failsafe phone home systems in there that'll still send info back home after rooting. My guess is that the products they produced before the Ukraine war were more naive and now that they've learnt consumer drones will be used in warzones no matter what, I'll bet they have started incorporating such failsafes. Imagine being able to know where every mavic in the frontlines are and selling that info to the Russians.

To... Apple. First time I heard about a Huawei ban of smartphones was also the year where I heard that Huawei was about to sell more than Apple in the US, if I remember correctly.

Many people around me liked Huawei because they were seeing it as the Android brand that "is closest to Apple".

I think in a few years the tech war will be obviously lost and people will look back at it as a massive strategic failure and own goal. Yes. China was always going up the value chain but Western companies were well placed to be a part of that as key subsuppliers, now they won't be because of idiotic cold war warriors.
The price of inputs went up because of COVID supply chain issues and higher demand for inputs. There are all indications of the high prices being temporary and they're already starting to go back down.

In a casino, you know what you’re there for and what you’re up against. Gaming commissions have curbed many of the worst abuses with inspections, posted odds, etc.

With mobile gaming you have a free for all that is intentionally exploiting the same neuroanatomy of addiction, but it’s wrapped up in pretty pixels and you can do it anywhere, privately. The industry is too big for gaming commission type controls to work.

I think that mobile game monetization is populated by morally deficient actors and we should consider banning the whole thing.

Horse shit. If you can’t show specific data traffic flowing from Mavic software back to China that could conceivably be drone footage, this claim is bogus and borderline libelous.

It would be trivial to prove this to be true, and there is zero of that proof. Hell, at this point it would be valuable to even see small phone homes by Mavic software from the last year, but I doubt you even have that.

There are plenty of other reasons not to buy this drone, so the lies are completely uncalled for.

From everything I've seen pelvic tilt is pretty overrated as a core issue, same with kyphotic posture and neck strain. Rather than try to directly correct them, it's better to just strengthen the postural muscles. They're symptoms of lack of upper body musculature and neurological recruitment, not diseases.

Most of the reviews of PT literature I've read say "well you can spend a lot of time and effort trying to fix kyphosis/pelvic tilt through cueing, stretching, and bracing but it's not effective", whereas strength endurance exercises indirectly fix it and other issues as well. I'd love to hear more though, I have suffered from both and only was able to fix them with strength training. Ditto low back pain.
I really doubt that, personally. In that area maybe between 5x and 10x these figures would seem plausible to me.

Sometimes, scientists get too much time on their hands so much so that it doesn't do a service to science.

I mean you can have fun in your free time predicting the end of mammals' life. But what's the point of writing a publication about this? At best, this is going to be completely useless. At worst it's going to be read as: "mammals will go extinct anyways in 250M years, what's the point in reducing carbon footprint now?" Or worse: "look at the crap the government is funding, we should end government funding for scientists".

Plus it's a complete disservice to the word "expert". These guys are true experts in their field and they know a lot of stuff that other people dont, but predictions like this are so random, it's almost certain that these guys are quite wrong. This gives ammunitions to the anti vax and flat earthers saying "experts" don't know shit anyways.

Sorry for the bad feelings, but that kind of research really annoys me. I only see negative outcomes from this kind of studies.

> The standard is not generally available. Most of us will never learn what is in it.

It also not aimed at users, but at implementors. Funny enough, they don't read the standard either ;) But more seriously: Some implementations are old and generally vendors prefer not changing the behavior of their product. When the standard comes later, the train has already departed. The most critical incompatibilities are in the elder features. The newer ones have a tendency the be more aligned with standard behavior (e.g. window functions are typically implemented just fine).

> They haven't gotten as far as working out variables or function composition either [0].

Part 2 SQL[0] is declarative and intentionally doesn't have variables. Part 4 SQL (aka "pl" SQL) does have variables. I personally consider Part 4 obsolete on systems that have sufficient modern Part 2 support.

> Tying SQL to your specific database is the best option for performance. Writing database-independent SQL is somethign of a fools errand, it is either trivial performance-insensitive enough that you should be using a code generator or complex enough to deserve DB-specific turning.

While this is certainly true for some cases there are also plenty of examples where the standard SQL is more concise and less error prone than product-specific alternatives. E.g. there COALESCE is the way to go rather than isnull, ifnull, nvl, or the like (typically limited to two arguments, sometimes strange treatment of different types).

There is a lot of *unnecessary* vendor-lock in in the field.

Syntax is about the least of people's worries when they worry about 'mathematical rigor'.

Math is made for people to read and write, and they have different 'domain specific languages' for different parts of math.

Now what would be useful is a tool, perhaps something like a large language model, to automatically translate from the notation used in one area of math into another.

That can't be a fully mechanical procedure (hence the need for something flexible like an LLM), because it's part and parcel of human mathematics to abuse notation here and there in the name of ergonomics.

My personal pet peeve is defining a function like f(x) := x + 3, and then treating f(x) as the name of the function, instead of just f. But really, it's just a harmless abuse of notation when done by some humans to other humans.

Ask HN: Free Website Builders in 2023?
Nothing is free, however, in YouTube you can host gigabytes of video for free, we take that for granted, that's crazy. A personal website doesn't take any space in the web, and builders like Wix, Squarespace, Cargo charges several dollars per month from the moment you want to connect your domain or remove their ads. I know that Youtube contains ads, and your videos are inside their platform, but from a business point of view a YouTube channel is way more expensive than hosting a simple website. So, in theory, my conclusion is that the price you pay is actually your space in internet.

I'm a dev and know how to build and deploy a website, but I have some friends that ask me how to or if I'm available to do it, and this is still a very crafty thing to do, at least if you want to make it for free. Sometimes, I want to help, but if you have some years programming, you know there are a lot more interesting things to learn rather than building a portfolio website. Also, I wish they could have the freedom to do it themselves.

Maybe my friends are too stingy that don't want to pay for it, having all their social profiles for free.

You might say I should associate my friend's credit card to a server hosting and deploy some Wordpress instance with Cloudflare cache on front. However, I find myself making a website from scratch, trying out Astro, writing HTML, JS, a bulk of Tailwind classes, and exposing some fields in DecapCMS so that my friend can tweak some parts without pinging me. The site is git-hosted and gets statically built and deployed in Vercel/Netlify/whatever.

Despite I'm experienced, it takes a lot of time! and customization is limited. I think that website builders should be as accesible as social media platforms these days. I guess Tumblr used to provide that experience, it had themes, a HTML template editor for your posts, and even let you connect your own domain.

I'd separate hosting from builder. Hosting is cheap and free, the problem seems to be the builder/CMS, which doesn't even need to be a cloud service. What alternatives are out there? What do you think good old Frontpage/Dreamweaver users?

this blog entry claims that:

2) the high construction liability insurance costs are due to lots of construction defect litigation

3) the lots of construction defect litigation is due to...

the analysis stops there, without examining why, other than "because the state made us responsible for our construction defects"

one would think they would look inward and wonder why they were constructing buildings with so many defects

instead, they just say the state should find ways to indemnify condo developers for constructing buildings with defects

https://www.antenna-theory.com/ is a good starter for apprentice-level RF voodoo.

30 dBm = 30 decibels wrt to 1 milliwatt. 10 decibels = 1 bel = 10-fold increase of the base quantity, so 30 decibels = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000x increase, so 30 dBm = 1000x 1 mW = 1 W.
Now it looks like a fair and good offer. And later - when you depend on it and are stuck in the vendor lock-in it becomes expensive?
For grid bases storage, energy density does not really matter. What matters is cost and longevity. There are a few emerging battery chemistries that promise to be cheaper and more durable than lithium ion and less vulnerable to hot/cold temperatures as well. The energy density for these is not good enough for things like cars or trucks. But that doesn't matter if the primary application is setting up stationary storage in some field in the middle of nowhere. You literally can just plonk down some containers and wire them up. What matters is being able to deploy these things quickly and cheaply and not having to expend a lot of energy on heating/cooling or worrying about these things catching fire.

For cars and trucks, current batteries are actually fine. Higher energy densities are mainly nice for things like high end sports cars where the form factor prevents cramming in more battery. But less so in freight trucks. Saving a few hundred kilos of mass on a truck that pulls 80 tonne is just not that valuable. It's nice but only if it doesn't raise the price too much. So what if you need a two tonne battery? The main constraint here is cost, not weight.

The aviation market on the other hand has an insatiable demand for high energy density storage. Hence companies like CATL announcing 500wh/kg batteries recently. That's double what you'd find in a high end car these days. And apparently they are working on even higher energy density batteries already.

Probably these are really expensive and hard to get. But it's going to add quite a bit of range to things like VTOL planes, drones, and other flying things that run on batteries. So, a NASA battery with high energy density and a few other nice properties (like needing no cooling/heating) could be worth the extra cost in this market. And better longevity means more time in between expensive overhauls as well.

> It's the number of parents who feel forced by the cost of childcare into being reluctant parents.

If childcare is such a significant cost that a family would make the economically rational decision to forgo the potential income of one parent, then the work of a stay-at-home parent is economically valuable, and moving them into the wage economy would not increase overall economic productivity (your original contention).

> Sorry, I am having trouble finding a gentler parsing of "we went through this already, it halved wages and made single income households a luxury." To what does this refer to if not women entering the labour force?

What I believe the parent is referring to is the lack of change in household wealth from a time when most households had a single earner to now when most have two full-time earners. Household wealth has remained stagnant for decades despite more overall hours being worked by parents. The gains from increased labor force participation have been eaten by higher costs and stagnant wages. More money is moving but the average family hasn't seen their wealth increase.
Yes. Even if the "influencer" is someone whose output I have followed for years, I'm going to cross-check and triangulate if something gets recommended.

That's in back-packing/hiking. Something I have noticed there, and would be interested to know if it's becoming more general, is the rise of paid-subscription sites that review things (amongst other content).

Are we seeing the first dim sparks of the realization that curation has monetary value?
