According to the paper sea ice was a seasonal consideration during the LGM. There was open ocean during the summers. If these people were fishermen they would have all the skills and motivation to follow the fish wherever they led. Since the circulation in the area of interest is cyclonic, or counterclockwise, a boatload of people would naturally be carried to the central Oregon coast if they launched from Beringia off present-day Kodiak Island. The whole journey, assuming as I tend to do that systems operate today in the same fashion that they operated back then, (uniformitarianism) has those people making landfall about 90-120 days later riding the ocean currents. That sounds reasonable.

The thing that I most wish would change in archaeology is the dumbing down of people who lived a long time ago. The very truth of their survival in situations where few of us modern people would thrive or survive tells modern people everything they should know about our common ancestors. They were ignorant only of the things that we all take for granted today - paved roads, wristwatches, computers, air conditioning, automobiles and engine power, etc. They were masters of their environments who learned by doing things with their hands and by listening to the oral histories of their heroes and internalizing that knowledge so that they could thrive if confronted with similar challenges in their own lives.

The fact that sections of the trails they took to get into North America have been erased since they made their epic journey is entirely due to everyday processes like erosion, inundation, etc. When we find a new site with outlier dates we should consider that we are constrained by the sparse sampling in the data driving our determinations of climate conditions during that period. We don't have high enough resolution to define seasonal variations so we can't say with confidence that it didn't happen during a summer's journey to a group of people who just followed the roving food supply wherever that led and laid in enough supplies to last them thru the winter that they knew was coming.

Ask HN: What are some reasons a Show HN post might get flagged?
When I browse https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew with showdead on, I see several posts flagged into the oblivion. None of them strike me as obviously egregious and I'm curious how they ended up this way. I can understand flagging of obvious spam / undesirable content on the "new" page, but Show HN is where folks show off what they've built. Would love some perspective on motivations behind flagging those messages.

Full disclosure, I did my first Show HN earlier today (something I worked on on my own for a while) and though it got some votes, apparently it also got flagged and while not dead, this prevented it from ever surfacing on the "show" page. Life goes on, but it really piqued my curiosity!

Indeed, it's very well-made and a “proper” macOS app—shortcuts, window management, sleeping in the dock and everything.

My favourite aspect is that it supports both cloud and local projects. Local projects are single binary files which can be synced with iCloud/OneDrive/..., so it's really quite flexible.
The problem with that is that there are many such notices and indicators we might put up about many things. If we did all of them, the site would get messier and more annoying and nannyish.

It seems generally better (or at least in keeping with HN's 'DNA') to err on the side of keeping things minimal and trust users to figure them out.

But among colleages we use certain jargon which varies by industry and probably by country. Could LLMs have their own preffered jargon?

I usually write pseudocode when I'm thinking about a problem to solve, so in a way I'm "thinking with pseudocode" instead of plain language. Pseudocode is probably more accurate than plain language, and it's something I'd use when explaining to other humans what I want them to code (along with diagrams, which seems ChatGPT would understand now). So, to me, speccing this pseudocode to something the LLMs find easier to understand sounds reasonable. It's like understanding how a fellow programmer prefers to get his requirements.
> Maybe it's because the economy is so bad that even FAANG employees like yourself can't find work

To be fair, a lot of FAANG engineers aren't actually very good :) It's a mixed bag like anywhere else. I think working at one is most reflective of a willingness to play the game (aka do lots of Leetcode) and having the life circumstances that allow you to invest in interview prep than it is of anything else. I remember talking to some of the people I was hired with, and every single one of us reflected that we had seen all of our interview problems beforehand. Just because we had put the practice in.

Unfortunately working here only helps me get my foot in the door. And quite ironically, at smaller companies, when I describe my experience to them, it almost seems like a detriment. I do ops, write infrastructure as code, write big data ingestion pipelines, and server APIs, and when I tell them this, they're like "yeah, those are 4 different roles here... it sounds like you're a jack of all trades, master of none". I feel to some extent like I need to be deliberately deceptive to convince hiring managers I can excel in their roles.

> Maybe it's because I'm trans. The reason doesn't even really matter.

I'm not LGBTQ, but I would characterize myself as a little different. I've just never really believed in appearances.

You're correct in identifying system design and process issues as being involved. Identifying immediate and root causes gets into systemantics, but note that what you identify is largely about the software now, not the hardware. Rocket design is, more or less, a solved problem, provided it stays within engineering tolerances, well back from the leading edge.
I agree. They could've used inflated sealskins for pontoons for a large raft and we would not know it today unless we happened to find one stuck in an anaerobic mudflat. There is so much to learn that I think it is too early in the game to discount anything.
Don't read this article. All it says is America has less repair ports then it used to and doesn't build big container ships.

It provides 0 support to its claim that this somehow means the US navy is vulnerable to some sort of not even imagined adversary. It doesn't survey any of the other NATO members either, which are bound to come to the aid of the US in a conflict.

It doesn't mention any of the ownership of active container ships on the seas, or the fact that many of the corporations that own them are domiciled in US-friendly nations and depend on rich US consumers for their own wellbeing.
> Uhm - Musk paid $44 billion for Twitter.

Yeah, but he overpaid, and that is only about the value pre-deal, and not:

(1) the adverse effect the news of the deal had on Twitter even before it was consummated, and

(2) The adverse effect his tenure has had on Twitter’s value since.

Is it now worth more than $1 billion? My guess is yes.

Is it worth more thsn $10 billion? Probably not.

What we do, admittedly not with chaining, is use OTel tracing end-to-end. Our RAG pipeline is (currently) 42 spans, and the end-to-end of RAG + LLM call + parse/validate is 48 spans.

That's just a part of the whole trace, though. Our feature is a natural language querying system built onto a querying engine. And so when someone has their input typed out and clicks the button (or hits enter), we trace that user interaction, RAG, LLM call, parse/validate, and queuing up to run against the querying engine. Getting that "whole experience" visibility really helped us iterate in production.

All of it was done just by manually instrumenting things with opentelemetry tracing and having our own conventions for naming key:value pairs that we're looking to upstream. It's more work to set up if you're not familiar with opentelemetry, but it's worth it because you can then start plugging in user IDs or really any other interesting data that helps correlate with LLM behavior so you get a full picture of what's going on.

> Such collisions produce a kilonova – an explosion 1,000 times more powerful than a standard supernova. However, one very speculative theory is that if one of the neutron stars is highly magnetized – a magnetar – it could greatly amplify the power of the explosion even further to 100 times the brightness of a normal supernova.

So, if one is a magnetar, it greatly amplifies it to a thing 10x smaller than what it would normally be.

In the places where I am immediately able to tip, I do. Coffee shops, bars, salons, tattoo artists, valets, servers, furniture movers, you name it, I've tipped them.

> By that principle, would most western countries failing to properly enforce drug make them be not “rule of law” countries?

It isn't binary. Whenever the Supreme Court in the USA makes a ruling on a 1st amendment case, remember that China has exactly the same amendment in its constitution. But ya, law interpretation and enforcement fall down, especially with respect to shoplifting and drug use, things that would be dealt with strongly in China (because context) and less strongly in the west (because context).

During the transition from film digital, there were "digital backs" for some specific models.

That this 35mm roll form factor works with any camera is neat.

A different idea to keep in mind is that a lot of the value in a camera system is not from the body, but from the lenses. Nikon DSLRs will take old film-era Nikkor lenses, and there are also various adapters for using older lenses on modern DSLRs. There also at least used to be a cottage industry of modifying some old lenses that couldn't be used as well with adapters (such as if the adapter introduced too much distance between rear element and sensor, or if there was a protruding motor shaft).
With all due respect, the entire notion of radicalization would seem to counter-indicate your point.

I wonder what the math is behind this. It’s kind of like saying “the universe is so big that there’s likely an arrangement of matter in just the right configuration to accelerate particles to this extent”. In the absence of better theories it’s reasonable but like… pragmatically it seems simpler for a simpler but unknown process to be the root cause.

That, or an advanced civilization. I kind of buy “high energy particles are type 1 civilizations’ pollution” more than “there exists gravitational pockets arranged in a manner capable of accelerating single protons to contain as much energy as a baseball”.

Healthcare and education are both suffering serious staffing shortages, which of course tend to turn into spirals as bad (straight-up bullshit, really) working conditions drive more workers out.

These have in common that workers are subject to managerial & societal attitudes that they can't say "no" to anything without doing something ethically gross (hurting kids/patients), plus tending to bring more than a little of that attitude to the job all on their own (most of them went into those jobs to help people). In both cases this leads to abuse by management, and suppressed wages.

I suspect pandemic inflation has just accelerated an existing trend of both of those fields—both so dependent on lots of hours from educated-and-skilled labor—getting Baumol's-cost-diseased out of affordability to the middle class. We can't (or won't) pay what it takes to do this stuff right anymore, unless you're rich enough to get out of the systems most folks use, and both will tend to get worse even as they get more expensive (but not more-expensive enough to save them) over the next few years. Barring some major and actually effective automation in those two fields, anyway.

I'm expecting some targeted and aggressive immigration programs for both fields, over the next couple decades. It'll be how we hold this at bay just a little while longer (though we won't improve it—too expensive—just temporarily stop it from getting worse than it's already gotten)
You've had extremely high inflation over the past 3 years, along with a shortage of used cars. I had one totaled during peak insanity and got 7% more than I bought it for (used) 6 years earlier.

I bought two new cars 10-11 years ago.Both Toyotas. Neither has ever needed a repair that wasn’t my fault or normal wear (batteries, oil, tires). When washed and cleaned, they almost feel like new again and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are still in great condition years from now. I believe my experience is fairly typical.

Both were purchased with 72 month loans at negligible interest rates.

So for years now, my marginal cost of driving has been basic maintenance, insurance, and gas. The only fixed cost are government taxes.

I’ve thought about buying a new car over the years. But every time I look, it just doesn’t make sense to do it. They have less space inside, touchscreens, privacy invading sensors, high price tags, higher interest rates, higher taxes, and higher insurance rates.

Just want to be clear if you are looking for sales tips (converting potential customers into actual paying customers) or marketing tips (creating potential customers)? Because the tips are very different. As a starter:

For sales, e.g. people who have already landed on your page, you are working on improving your conversion funnel. It could be beneficial to have a high touch process in the beginning for a few to find out what they are looking for, whether they found the info they need on your site, and whether your product satisfies their need or not. (Maybe a survey page? Ask for email and try to talk to them directly?)

For marketing, it's about getting the word out to people who might need your product but don't know about it. Look to creating blogs, engaging in discussion forums of relevance, and creating a web presence where people can find your product easily.
