I don't see the system for pilots as being praiseworthy. European airlines do not allow pilots to take prescribed antidepressants. It leads to outcomes like a severely psychotic pilot refusing to get appropriate help because they will lose their license and job. These policies are likely the root cause of the 150 deaths on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525.
Its controversial because if the market could bear a price increase, it would already bear it. The left hand side of your inequality is already at a local maximum, and can not be raised to pass on costs to the consumer.
This is not unique to Europeans to the extent that the suggestion is borderline racist.

It might be more accurate to say that every people engage(d) in this nature to the extent that they are capable, and that, in relatively modern recorded history, Europeans have proven themselves to be by far the most capable in that regard.

So capable that they are perhaps the first people ever to police themselves in moderation of this behaviour, often explicitly and deliberately acting in the interests of alien people to their own detriment. That is unique.

ChatGPT is ruining its own browsing
I've been using the ChatGPT browsing plugin a lot recently, and the following has been happening pretty consistently, for about 5% of my queries. I ask a simple yes/no question such as "Does X work on Windows?" and then ChatGPT gives the incorrect answer, citing an article that looks very much like it was generated by ChatGPT.

We all knew this would eventually happen with training data, but it's already happening with browsing.

I’m not sure how the authors can claim to be comparing their approach against “state of the art” AutoML and not include AutoGluon, FLAML or H2O. This independent benchmarking paper[0] is what the AutoML field points to as establishing SOTA, and the libraries compared against in the SapientML paper are middle of the pack at best.

What would you recommend reading if one wants to know more about Node.js event loops?
A fascinating subject, and there's an extension of it about which I've been curious for years, it's why English doesn't use diacritics or accents on alphabetical characters as do many European languages—French, German, etc. For instance, in French the letter 'e' can take four forms—without accent, grave è, acute/aigu é, circumflex ê. This makes the letter much more flexible and greatly assists with pronunciation.

So why doesn't English use them? It's clear the language needs them with words such as through, thorough and thought which are confusing enough for native speakers let alone those learning English as a second language. And how about inconsistencies such as the verb to lead and the metal Pb lead, or other strange 'gh' words such as cough?

Similarly, proper nouns such as Wycombe, Warwick, etc. defy logic when it comes to pronunciation and would greatly benefit from diacritical marks.

I've never considered myself a particularly good speller and I reckon I would have benefited from diacritics had English used them.

> Inflation-adjusted CAGR over the past 30 years is 10%.

From the numbers given in the article, that looks like a not inflation adjusted value. If I plug a growth ratio of 20 over 33 years ($100 invested in the S&P 500 in 1990 becomes $2000 in 2023, the numbers given in the article) into the CAGR formula, I get 9.5%. And the article's numbers are not inflation adjusted, they are raw dollar values. If I assume an average inflation rate of 3% over the same time period, I get an inflation-adjusted growth ratio of 7.54 over 33 years, which if I plug into the CAGR formula gives 6.3%.

(I also note that the article explicitly lists growth in the money supply as one of the reasons for the growth in equity market cap.)
the problem with machines is that they don't have to be the best. If it takes 100 shitty drones to take down a F35, sure an F35 is amazing tech with an amazing human, but those drones can be replaced in a couple of days, the F35 + pilot takes 100x the cost and years of training and building.

That's the point. We don't need amazing robot warriors, that's the dystopian scifi, the hero human who is that much better. Yeah that's gonna be the case, but the point is it doesn't matter. I can mass manufacture my losses faster than you can breed and train human replacements.

The biggest win with AI is that no matter how shitty it is, you can teach another one the same knowledge as the previous one instantly.

I flagged this. If the headline mentioned Vota it would be fine ("Show HN: Vota, an innovative blockchain voting solution"). But it's a pretend question which is actually intended to advertise a particular solution.

---

The answer to the question in the headline is simple:

* Community governance is usually so small anything would work, it doesn't need this overhead or technical risk. Also, communities often don't want or care for voting anonymity or decentralization.

* In a real political election, every 'voting technology' that isn't brain dead simple will immediately lead to election challenges, conspiracy theories, maybe even a real civil war - even if it's actually perfect. None of the supposed improvements will even be considered until the entire stack can be explained to a tech-illiterate public; Nobody wants to even start explaining what 'L2' and 'L3' mean.

* This leaves us with a tiny space in the middle: large non-political elections, where the participants still strongly desire anonymity, worry about cheating and centralization, and are technically literate or at least trusting enough to accept the mechanism. I can't think of an example save for other blockchain projects, and there are I recall many other solutions in that space.

First, someone who modifies a header you include will now potentially break your code simply via a name collision.

That would mean that they are writing their own global functions that collide with the standard library which is a pretty big mistake itself.

Part of knowing the standard library is knowing not to make some function called end() in the global namespace. This really isn't a big deal. It's one of those group think ideas that permeates and lots of these jihads in programming have been totally wrong. This one I think is just blown out of proportion. There is a lot of simplicity in not having huge long lines for every type. Part of this can be done with auto, part of it can be done with aliasing, but an isolated namespace declaration isn't the end of the world.

Also, gaze detection extends beyond humans [1]. Citation mentions dogs, birds, and reptiles having some degree of it. In general, attention detection via gaze or body language would be an evolutionary advantage for any prey animal, and even a predator that is low in the overall food chain. Anecdotally, I’ve seen similar behavior in spiders, though the literature [2] tells me it’s not specifically gaze that a spider is detecting. I have hunted (to trap) spiders around my house who seem to change behavior (eg play dead) based on my attention, leading me to think that they know they are being hunted on some level well below cognition. Which, coming full circle, lines up with the literature on how crazy accurate human gaze detection is, seems like a very old, low-level function.

I've been playing around with Swift and SwiftUI for the past few months and the thing that baffles me is why are certain features only available with a minimum iOS version.

For example async required iOS 15.0. Why is this tied to the OS? Why can't they include newer runtimes be downloadable like Node / Java / .NET etc?

Other examples are from SwiftUI. For example the NavigationStack appears much more useful than the older NavigationView but that requires iOS 16. Which means that you can't support anything older than an iPhone X.

I love how out-of-touch HN comments can be sometimes, it’s a breath of fresh air for me. Outlook the mail software (as opposed to the coat of paint applied to hotmail) is used by almost the entire Fortune 500, basically every government at every size, and a decent chunk of the Windows-using western world (which is most of it).

It's not moving the goalposts. I linked to that page because Wikipedia breaks the data out in to three separate pages, and I didn't want to confuse the issue. At a glance, the data for secondary and post-secondary schools don't appear to be different in any meaningful way (though I did not take the time to count).

Besides, even one example would be enough to refute the OP's claim that "it doesn't happen anywhere else".

I beg to differ. That's exactly what was said.

> This is why Mastodon is doomed.

i think its precisely the opposite.

im skeptical of the "succeed" and "failure" descriptors people keep using regarding these places, but in terms of longevity, i think having multiple different spaces is precisely why Mastodon or some derivative will be booming.

in the real world, we have different styles of spaces with different styles of behavioral expectations. and we have these precisely because people prefer that kind of freedom. if i want a nice quiet dinner, i don't go to the loud sports bar, i go to a quiet restaurant. if i want a loud drunken night, i don't go to a string quartet, i go to a club or something. i pick my space based on my mood. simple as that. its not complicated.

bars and clubs have wildly different expectations of behavior for totally common sense reasons. i continually find it baffling (and honestly kind of weird) that some have convinced themselves that online spaces full of humans would be any different.

ive noticed this weird tendency over the past couple of years, that a certain type of people (many of them seem to be from the same group strain of VCs) have been desperately trying to convince us that we all need to be in one space -- all of us, at the exact same time, and anything less than all of us at once is "failure". and that having multiple options is somehow bad... and im sorry, but nah, thx tho.

sometimes we like a nice restaurant, sometimes we like to go clubbing, sometimes we like a coffeehouse with a few friends. again, this isnt complicated--its spaces full of humans, we have different preferences. this isn't new and it isn't shocking.

this is why mastodon (or some later branch) will thrive ahead.
It’s learned helplessness. They learned that doing the job faster is not only reward-less but only gets them more work.
if you digitized at 24 bit, then 16 bit is technically compressed. with flac, the waveforms aren't compressed, but the amplitude is, so audio buffs claim they can hear more separation. I can't hear it, but I also can't taste the difference between coffee bean origins, but I know people who can.

> Apple was one of the companies at the time that recognised the need for a safer, modern alternative to these languages. While no amount of compiler features can prevent you from introducing logic errors, they believed programming languages should be able to prevent undefined behavior, and this vision eventually led to the birth of Swift: a language that prioritized memory safety.

i'm pretty sure that's not the reason for the birth of Swift. Trying to access the 20th element from an array of 2 elements would cause a crash in almost all languages including Objective-C which Swift replaced.
