Centrifugal force in a spinning ring is technically an artificial gravity substitute, you're right about that.

And this piece is sci-fi, but it's mostly sci-fi engineering, not sci-fi physics.

To suggest that ""We don't have it until the future" is wrong. Centrifuges are a thing. Building one in space would be only an engineering challenge. The "how it works" part is well-understood science. There are detailed plans for smaller rings in space, building one is just a matter of NASA budgets and priorities (they chose more robots to outer planets instead, over twirling canned humans in LEO, and there are upsides to that).

It's classical physics, even: The old rivals of that, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz literally did the math in the 1600s on how centrifugal force works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_centrifugal_and_cen...
You can also ask it to change the style. Here are three (also asked it to make it more concise):

*1. Academic Tone (Concise):*

Detecting AI-written cover letters is tough, but here are quick tips:

1. Watch for flawless language.
2. Look for generic, non-personal content.
3. Check for odd details that don't fit.
4. Absence of human touch, humor, or style.
5. Beware of repetitive phrases.
6. Too structured? Might be AI.
7. Cross-reference details with references.
8. Try AI detection tools (varying results).
9. Ask candidates direct questions in interviews.
10. Trust your gut but stay fair.

AI use isn't all bad; authenticity and fit matter most.

*2. Informal and Conversational Tone (Concise):*

Spotting AI-written cover letters is tricky, but here are the real-talk tips:

1. Too perfect? Red flag.
2. Generic content? Not a good sign.
3. Weird details? AI mistake, maybe.
4. Missing human vibes? Yep, AI.
5. Repeating phrases? AI does that.
6. Super structure? AI-like.
7. Fact-check with their profiles.
8. Tech tools? Hit-or-miss.
9. Grill candidates with direct questions.
10. Trust your instincts, but be fair.

AI tools aren't all bad; some folks use 'em to jazz up their cover letters. What counts is the fit for the job.

*3. Sci-Fi Futuristic Tone (Concise):*

In the quest to detect AI-generated cover letters, here are key signposts:

1. Absolute precision: Beware impeccable language.
2. Generality: AI leans generic.
3. Juxtaposed fictions: AI might invent details.
4. Humanity essence: AI lacks human touch.
5. Echo chamber: Watch for repetitive phrases.
6. Algorithmic straitjacket: AI can be formulaic.
7. Verification: Cross-check specifics.
8. Detection tools: Varying efficacy.
9. Directness: Ask direct questions.
10. Intuition: Trust your instincts.

AI use isn't inherently evil; focus on fit and authenticity.

With the crime you actually really need to catch (e.g. murders, terrorism, armed robberies) the problem is that they are rare, compared to them not happening. Most people on here have probably never even witnessed a murder for example, and terrorism is even rarer.

That means your prediction that eats data with mostly legal stuff all day must be extremely accurate to be useful. Let's say you wanna predict who a terrorist ist by the way they are walking at an airport. Given the high volume of people the answer will be: nearly nobody, except when they are. So your mechanism just produces false positives all day long and might encode stereotypes on the way.

The most important aspect for me would be that we actually demand scientific evidence of such a thing working before our executive is allowed to use it. Everything else is a huge risk for civil rights and doesn't help to prevent actual crime either.
Yep, relevant discussion if you haven't seen it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37446790

Here's hoping I get to be one of those people who can relocate from Toronto next.
Prefacing this with the fact my office is essentially a farm, so quite nice surroundings, and also only a 10 minute drive away from home in a regional town, so there's no awful commute involved.

It's still not the same - I was part of a team for 5 or 6 years and never met them in person. Apparently I wasn't important enough to fly to the US even once to meet everyone.

We had very little rapport, didn't know each other at all, it was a very poor experience of being in a team and extremely demoralising and inefficient.

I took my current job because I wanted to go back to the office and get to know my team mates properly. It's much better.

I do like the hybrid approach, I can basically work from home whenever I want, but I go to the office most working days. I probably work from home less than 3 weeks of the year all up, and usually when I need to do something here I can't do at work like making some brackets or similar.

The incidental conversations you have, short brainstorming sessions over breaks and lunch, just being socially closer, makes a massive difference.

I used to go for smoke breaks with a different project leader, even though I don't smoke, because we could spend that time talking about stuff related to our projects and bounce ideas off each other. That job was also in an awesome startup complex that used to be a railway workshop - way cooler than sitting around in my spare bedroom on my own.

I admit I'm no fan of too dense an open plan or hot desking - both dehumanising efforts - and eating at your desk should be banned.

Slack/teams/whatever isn't on the same planet.
I can believe it. There are always the weak minded that'll accidentally rewire their brain in a bad way.

I'd suggest shrooms, which are totally different.
Do you do something interesting or unusual? Something worthwhile or dangerous? No? Then people aren't going to ask you any follow up questions; they're making small talk.

Imagine it's the other way round - you're at a party and meet the host's sister's boyfriend's cousin and ask what they do "Oh, I do reinsurance claims for mid-sized retail acquisitions in the aluminium industry." You can either get into a tedious conversation about that, or ask about literally anything else.

If you want people to be interested in you - you need to be interesting. You don't do software engineering (what?) at a fintech (huh?) startup (like Facebook?) - instead you say "I am building an app that helps X do Y."

All of a sudden you're using an active word (building) related to something people understand (an app!) and they might even know about X or Y. If they do, you can have a little conversation.

If not, well, how about that local sports team? I hear they played a few games.

I use https://ddev.com for almost all of my web project development, which basically automates all of this. Per-project databases, web containers, plugins, etc, and it’s now using Traefik as its router.
It's not just a North American thing. Any entrepreneurial journey can feel very sisyphean, and if you worked hard on something for years, probably consciously making many sacrifices along the way, and then finally get rewarded for it, only to see the comments on social media diminishing your success as "just luck"... I can imagine they feel disrespected.

Stanford prison experiment has very much been debunked, it does not reflect at all what would naturally happen in such a situation.

> These new criticisms include the biased and incomplete collection of data, the extent to which the SPE drew on a prison experiment devised and conducted by students in one of Zimbardo's classes 3 months earlier, the fact that the guards received precise instructions regarding the treatment of the prisoners, the fact that the guards were not told they were subjects, and the fact that participants were almost never completely immersed by the situation. [0]

> Zimbardo and his assistants ordered the guards to become cruel, and, moreover, that guards and prisoners alike knew what Zimbardo was trying to prove and were eager to help. [1]

> In other words, the sadism of the guards and the submissiveness of the prisoners in the experiment didn’t reveal the hidden darkness of the human soul, so much as the willingness of college students to please a professor. [1]

iPhone 15 Rumored to Be Using Cheaper Batteries That Degrade Faster
about 10 years ago I spoke with an officer who knew the law for our 'one party consent (aware) state' and was told then that you can legally record others' voices with zero person consent if it was 'posted or announced'

- However the way the law is written, it's vague enough that the 'posting or announcing' you need to give notice if recording others not in your conversation could be:

simply having 'we're recording' printed and posted on the door of a club would be legal, (nothing saying how large of print, or if it was surrounded by 100 other printed things)

and so would someone shouting 'hey we're recording' in a bar .

- that's the way the law was technically written, and though we know that yelling 'we're recording' would not be heard or even register to those who did hear the statement, that and what it would mean and most would miss the printed notice on door or forget it - it would technically be legal.

(no need to do both, either would satisfy law as written)

Not sure if the laws on this have been updated since then, and pretty sure it varies state by state.

I am not a lawyer, and am not referencing any case law here.
> I don't believe that a merchant is allowed to do this? Probably very dependent on your deal with credit card processors but my understanding is that the default contract between a merchant and a credit card processor stipulates that you are not allowed to offer discounts to not use credit cards differently.

I think this was in the past or no longer enforced. I lost count now of the stores that will charge you a 2-3% fee for paying with a card.
Why not just ignore them? Simply exclude them from any good society, and forget of their existence. They don't decide on anything anyway.

As for politics, something which requires government support to exist probably should be seen with a grain of salt anyway. Because that kind of far-right people also support small government and free enterprise, they are unlikely to be against something when it is privately funded, and only then it truly becomes a real deal.
I’m surprised that Knuth’s book isn’t in the top 5 and I’m very surprised to see Descarte’s meditation as even in France no one longer reads this ( must be related to the various posts about meditation on HN imho ) and Franck ( not Brian ) Herbert wrote Dune. I don’t trust this post and indeed I don’t trust anything published on the Internet after Llms went mainstream.
And what if Twitter is partly causing it (along with other media).

> Applying all these abstract epidemic/broken-windows type models which pretend like the root causes of crime are unknowable allows police to appear like they're operating efficiently, while at the same time just responding to the symptoms rather than facing the sickness itself.

Issue: police are not trained to, nor are they responsible for fixing, the underlying "sickness". Police, social workers, therapists, and psychiatrists have very different missions, training, skillsets, perspectives, and dispositions. We can argue that society should invest more in social workers, therapists, and psychiatrists, but not that police should become social workers, therapists, and psychiatrists to cover for insufficient resources in those areas.
My god.. This is an interesting project and well done. But I can't help but feel that Altassian design might not have been the best source of inspiration! But maybe someone can "fix" the cesspool of Altassian with this!

> would spending less time >1G but <2G be equivalent to spending larger amounts of time at 1G?

The experiments need to be done, but my wild uninformed guess is:

Human health is not math, the numbers won't stack up like "1.5G times 2 hours = 3 G-hours"

Humans have evolved under 1.0G, all the way back the the ancestor who crawled up out of the sea around 400 million years ago. That's a long time with that as an environmental constant. Deviation from that environment in either direction, up or down, will have negative effects on the body. Some easy to predict, some less so.
I had the same experience. I really tried to use Kagi as my main search engine but it just was not good enough for me. I did like the feature where you can exclude domains from the results. It couild work nice as some kind of addon to Google search results.

I will give it another try in the future and hope my experience is different. I do like the company and the vision behind it.
If it was a credit card, it was $4k of the bank's money. I presume either you didn't notice the charge or you had a serious miscommunication with the bank, because the normal result under US regulations is that the bank would be the ones trying to get their money back.

"Efforts to reach voters with trusted information are becoming more difficult as tech platforms lean into viral trends, instead of quality news."

The snake is eating itself. What is most dangerous about the current situation is now how easy it is to pull the natural strings of the western world order. Democracy. The ballot referendum. How you "vote" with your dollar. All of these things could always have been tightly influenced and controlled, but this was done more or less through an indirect incentive structure that favored existing large investment.

Now, anything is able to use these social media tools to run around existing capital structure and get whatever message out to voters and consumers directly. What captures the consciousness now isn't necessarily a consensus of an economies major investors, but simply whatever is able to abuse the viral phenomenon the best at the time and in the context.

Coupled with the ease of generating high quality propaganda of any shape or form through various publicly released tools, we are in for interesting times, for sure.

I wonder why HN doesn't do this on its own, server side.
There was a blog article posted on HN about this just last week.

It's because generative AI writes generic "say-nothing" letters. They're impersonal, don't say anything substantive about the candidate's skill, and read like the uncanny valley version of written text.

As the OP said, they're just a waste of time.

No, it shows there are weaknesses in the government-funded research grants. But it is far from clear which other system would be better overall not just in this case.

The thing is, just updating the name/artifact is a half-assed solution required by existing packaging solutions with a flat and/or non-versioned namespace.

If more packaging solutions allowed for graceful coexistence of multiple library versions, this would be a non-issue. The problem isn't really semver vs naming.

Sorry I should have been more clear and said "manifestations of all the problems of Scrum and Agile have become".

Jira has implemented all those features because that's what the industry (managers and people that like control) wanted Agile to become, so, to make money they did so. I don't blame them for that, they aren't the defenders of Agile. Again, the problem isn't Jira.

If you strip away all the reporting, burn down charts etc what you are left with is an exceptionally powerful Kanban board with, in my opinion, a solid user experience.
Yeah but like...why bother? Use the more obvious term always & there's no need for ambiguity. If you're saying "these things mean the same thing" in a formal context then there should be a REALLY good reason why you need both of them to exist, period. Otherwise remove one and simplify what people need to know.
I found Hacker Recommended Books [0a] on HN [0b], and began reading through the books on it, tried many books, read around 20 of them. The experience has been great, and learned many new things. Some books have expanded my mind.

If you are into books, I highly recommend searching HN with the simple keyword "books", and filter using "Ask HN" tags [1], or simply by "books". This is how I choose almost all of my English books now (I am trilingual and can read more languages)- even non-technical books. I have been doing this for more than two years, and I really like HN for books recommendations.

Many years' worth of high quality reads can be found on HN threads related to books. They are goldmines.

You’re right but the fact that poverty exists in a country has never been used as an excuse to turn away refugees who might otherwise die in a war.

Knuth's work is the computer science version of "industry-specific canon that few people have actually read", much like The Powerbroker in urban planning.

I own several of his books (admittedly they were gifts), and have never read them. So them not showing up in the top five doesn't surprise me much.

You always had to verify the integrity of the data and methods used in any publication, regardless of the medium. The responsibility of both authors and readers hasn't changed. If you took things for granted before LLMs, you shouldn't have, and if you don't trust trustworthy authors post LLMs, you should.
