> We visited Luxor as a family last year and the Valley of the Kings is absolutely a must visit. The fact that these hieroglyphics are preserved so well over thousands of years is astounding. It feels as if the walls were painted last week.

Depending on the tomb, it might've been restored. Not sure if you saw Nefertari's tomb in the valley of queens, but it absolutely blew my mind. Having done very little research before going, I was shocked that the colors could have remained so bright after so many years. Then a spent a few minutes on wikipedia and found out that a lot of restoration work was done, starting in the 80-90's.

> I never felt physically unsafe while in Egypt but for example my 8 year old boy was shaken down for $$ for toilet paper in the bathroom. That’s how shameless the grift is.

The grift is crazy, but the toilet paper thing is actually pretty normal. I guess I don't know how much you got charged, but paying 5 Egyptian pounds(0.10-0.15 USD) for toilet paper was considered "normal". At least that's what some non-grifty locals told me at a bar when I was complaining to them.

You're definitely right about having a target on you 24/7 though. I'll probably never go back to Egypt because of it, I found it absolutely exhausting after a month of traveling there. It took me a few months to get back to my usual self and not immediately dismiss anyone that ever tried to talk to me.
a = f(e(d(c(b))), 4), 5)

That has 4 opening parenthesis and 5 closing parenthesis.

b is passed to c

b ~> c

then the result is passed to d

b ~> c ~> d

then to e along with 4 as a second parameter

b ~> c ~> d,4 ~> e

and finally to f along with 5

b ~> c ~> d,4 ~> e,5 ~> f
> You're all literally writing CRUD React front-end javascript by copy-pasting "for" loops from StackOverflow?

To an approximation, yes.

The underlying calculations at my bank were probably written once in 1970 in COBOL and haven't changed meaningfully since. But the front-end UI to access it has gone from teletypes and punch cards to glass terminals to networked DOS to Win32 to ActiveX to Web 2.0 to React and mobile apps. Lots and lots of churn and work on the CRUD part, zero churn and work on the "need to remember logarithms" part.

AI? You have core teams building ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc. Then huge numbers of people accessing those via API, building CRUD sites to aggregate midjourney results and prompts, etc etc. Even Apple has made a drag-and-drop UI to train an AI object classifier, the ratio of people who had to know the math to make that vs the people using it is probably way above 1:100,000

Is this that surprising?
I used to be on the "AGI is around the corner" train, but then I learned about the concept of irreducible computation, and now I can safely say that we are far away from the scenario that you describe, and AGI is most certainly not going to happen.

Its not the main SOC that was designed in house, it is an I/O processor. Which still sounds great. There is much more I/O throughput which has plenty of value for me (robotics).
I would love to see a more side by side comparison of specs. 2-3x times the speed pretty good though. The raspi 4 was just on the cusp of being usable as a main computer, I wonder how good this will be.

Just talking out my ass here, but can't it be combined with, say, treated wastewater?

We're taking the salt out of the water in order to "drink" it, but the reality is that most of it gets used for irrigation or toilets or whatever, and eventually returned either as groundwater or to the ocean.
It is pretty hard for such injuries to occur with the level of movement you're taking about, especially with a child old enough to support their own head. I don't think you need to worry.
I think it’s hard to generalize that into a phenomenon.

I have always bought 2 new raspberry pies with every release. I’ve used some and forgotten, unplugged some, given away some, broke some, and now they’re all used in some way.

I bought them because I knew I’ll use them. I didn’t buy any other random toys or mini computing devices (even though they were alluring) because I knew I wouldn’t use them.

There should be a name for the art of making every thing that randomly happens to some people into a phenomenon.
> But that's the point, with any somewhat rich country, the level of education is high enough, that a generalization on the benefits of reading which Voltaire is talking about, are not valid anymore, because we now have them, and are on the point of moving on.

> Reading today is not anymore the great awesome enlightenment it was in the past.

I can't roll my eyes far enough to express the magnitude of unabashed, pubescent hubris underlying this perspective.

I guess a closer analogy would be an article about file systems called "The sermon of the mount", or something.

"The ten commandments of ..." is a popular trope (https://medium.com/byte-sized-code/the-ten-commandments-of-p..., https://itnext.io/the-10-commandments-to-survive-software-de..., https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/ten-commandments.html, and so on and so on), too...

Seems all harmless enough, but I suppose the risk is that when you use imagery of a different culture, you don't know what is held near and dear to people from within that culture, that you might twist out of context in a hurtful way.
If it makes you feel better(?)... The National Assembly (= Capitol) Station of Seoul's line 9 also almost got moved to a different corner due to the lawmakers' demand, and Seoul isn't exactly known for its car culture. I guess politicians being asshats are universal.

Amusingly, the Seoul Metropolitan Council (which would correspond to a US State Congress/Senate) said fuck you, it's getting built in the place, so that's how the station kept its place.
> A lot of the comments here are missing this key statement. While there can be medical explanations for things that look like SBS, it’s exceedingly rare

The article seems to be dedicated to precisely the opposite conclusion. The author's contention would seem to be that in cases of shaking there is other trauma that doesn't fit the "shaken baby syndrome" theory.
Incidentally, I just bought the Gen 1 of these before departing on a trip to Japan a week ago. I gotta say, I'm very happy with the purchase - being able to take photos/videos for memory-capture type stuff (ie I don't care a lot about it being the best quality) without taking out my phone and pointing it at stuff has been great, and the speakers are surprisingly nice to use when I don't want to block out the sounds of my surroundings. To me the benefit is not being able to constantly or secretly record stuff, it's just a nicer way to use a camera to record memories on a trip that does not involve staring at a screen half the time.

true. when it comes to technology, enjoy your 5 years of premium production. after that, you better have a good product, or the competition will eat you alive. as for creative works like books or movies or music, i'd go with 10 because it is more subjective type of work, creative instead of inventive and not technical and usually produced by individuals and not companies.

It's great for my farming robot though. We have plenty of power but want something small and reliable, and the Raspberry Pi Compute Module works wonders for this. More power will be welcome once they release a Compute Module version of the 5.

The only one I'm using now is a Pi 3 (B?) with a DVB TV hat. I'm using it to stream broadcast TV to my tablet or phone. I can watch TV anywhere in my house. I very rarely turn on my TV now.

I have another PI in a drawer as backup. I replaced all of them with Odroid since it became nearly impossible to buy Pis. I wonder if they'll start to make them available again to normal people but I don't know if I'm trusting the company anyway.
As far as I know, the device I’m writing this on is also made in China. And I don’t even have to specify the brand.
Is there a specification comparison between the pi 4 and 5? I didn't see one on the linked site.

I think that is a reasonable gloss on the following:

> And yet, although subdural and retinal hemorrhage may be caused by non-accidental trauma, especially when impact is involved, they simply are not specific for it: indeed, it has been demonstrated that a wide range of accidental events and medical conditions are plausible alternative causes. Particularly fragile infants may sustain severe head injuries following minor household falls. Others may suffer from genetic conditions, metabolic disorders, blood clotting abnormalities, or infections.

> But in practice, extremely few medical conditions are checked for and “excluded” before concluding a diagnosis of abuse – the great majority are not checked for at all. Very often, abuse is diagnosed “by default”, because no known alternative explanation was found (or even actively sought). This is extremely dangerous, as it seems to indicate that no further medical discovery need ever be made in the future.

> Overall, the clinical literature supporting the shaking hypothesis suffers from a number of severe methodological shortcomings. The main issue is circular reasoning. It is only in a small minority of “shaken baby” cases that actual shaking has been observed by independent witnesses, videotaped, or spontaneously confessed before police interrogation. Far more often, shaking is “inferred” after the observation of subdural and retinal hemorrhage in infants who are brought to the hospital by parents or caregivers. Physicians interpret these types of bleeding as markers of violent trauma. When asked about these findings, parents and caregivers generally do not provide “acceptable explanations” – but the only “acceptable explanations” today apart from shaking are multistory falls and high speed motor vehicle accidents. This being so, it is considered that parents and caregivers must be lying when they report non-traumatic events such as a sudden collapse, an unexplained respiratory arrest, or a minor fall – even though this happens in case after case
Its still offset. If I turn my head sideways to look between something or under a car or anything close to the face really is out of focus or not even in view.
Isn't that exactly what "Books2" is?

Presumably the AIcorps avoid calling it "libgen" because that would be just a bit too obvious, and now the journalists aren't calling it that to avoid the Streisand Effect.

But frankly, I can't see how Books2 could be anything other than libgen.
I am more a kernel hacker.
The COP is roughly equivalent (but more forgiving) than the UEF rating. Many new heat pump water heaters have a UEF of 4 [1], but this accounts for things like standby losses, so the COP of the heat pump itself is higher than that.

Some premium hot water heaters like the SanCO2 can achieve COP of up to 5.0 [2], so high that they don't need backup resistance elements, even in northern climates.

> Knowing that the project could easily get bogged down in bureaucratic delays and debates from WMATA’s board, the manager of WMATA, Jackson Graham (a former brigadier general of the Corps of Engineers) adopted a cynical, realist strategy of project management:

"...we want to get as much under construction as we possibly can, so it would cost more to cover it up than it would to finish it. Always we wanted to give the board…an unacceptable alternative, so that we would take them down the road we wanted to go. If we hadn’t done that, everything would have bogged down into bureaucratic debate, and quibbling, and so forth that goes on all the time."

...

> But Metro proved hard to kill. The financing bust inspired another round of studies, but these tended to find that paring down the system based on what was already under construction was surprisingly difficult. The individual lines were “like colored wires on a B-movie time bomb: clip one and the whole thing explodes”:

"Deleting any route would provoke the affected jurisdiction to demand tens of millions of dollars back from the Authority, with interest. It was easier for WMATA to keep borrowing, especially since each cut would only save a small percentage of the system cost."

Looks like the general's plan actually worked!

The rolling hitch [1] is a slight variation that works great as a drop-in replacement. For attaching a rope to a pole, I go as far down this list as is feasible and/or necessary:

- two half hitches [2] (this is actually just a clove-hitch around the standing end)

- round turn and two half hitches [3] (like the above, but a little more secure and it takes the load while you tie it)

- anchor hitch [4] (even more secure, but harder to tie under load)

No, none of these points are contradicted by SR or GR.

They perfectly match the idea of events as 4D points in Minkowsky space time. Points 1 and 2 are matched by describing any event by its (x, y, z, t) coordinates in some reference frame. Point 4 is matched by the fact that the Lorrentz transform preserves the ordering by t of events which are timelike separated.

Many seem to forget that even in relativity, all observers agree on the order of events that are close enough together in space. For example, any possible observer agrees that the pyramids are older than Hacker News (though they will disagree on how much older).

What the GP is saying is that this framework definition of time is in fact a series of requirements that any physical theory of time must fulfill to be recognizable as talking about time. That is, any theory that doesn't match those criteria is not talking about the same thing we are when we say time.

I hate these new "open core" freemium companies.

The best "open source " business is one that gets profit from doing something else and publishes some open source software on the side . Like react.

Open core are just companies that want to throw around the "look we are cool, open source" mantra , but in reality are dealers giving you the first dose free to hook you up in their business.

Where would we be if apache, linux, freebsd, openssl, firefox , and so many other 90s OSS had adopted that crappy model .
