This post was submitted yesterday, didn't make the frontpage, and came in via the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool) that promotes high-quality posts to the frontpage temporarily to give them a second shot at visibility.

When that is done, the timestamp of the article and the existing comments are temporarily shown as happening around the time the article got re-surfaced, not the original submission.
There is a ticket in for YOShInOn to automatically follow those links, find if the linked article is open access so I can substitute the article with a single click. (I approve everything that we queue.) The good news I think we successfully made a transition in how ingest works that unblocks this ticket but the bad news it is also unblocks a lot of other tickets which compete with it.

I appreciate the curation that ScienceX (the parent of that site) does and I think sometimes their summary is better than the paper (we get complaints for posting papers that are too abstruse) and sometimes it is worse but I do think we post too many links to ScienceX. Right now we are queuing HN submissions faster than we can submit them (according to our brand promise for submission rate) so culling some of those manually might be good but I really want to replace some ScienceX links to links to their source. Really I want a sequential recommender for HN, Mastodon and Tildes but boy is that a big ticket.

Thanks for your input!

Anyone who is interested in giving holistic feedback about what we post to HN should look up my profile, send me an email, and I'll introduce you to YOShInOn,
> You buy groceries more frequently as it's more convenient to stop in on your evening walk or bike ride.

There are efficiencies both in terms of time and money that come from bulk shopping that you’re not considering.

I lived car free for about 5 years in Seattle and it fucking sucked walking to the grocery store every day or two. In the winter it rains frequently so my groceries would always be wet by the time I got home which added even more time to dry everything off.
Are we talking in earnest? Because my complaint is we never do. Instead, like your prior comment, it’s either ‘well, as an individual you can do x’ (which doesn’t solve the actual problem in any real way, and hurts the individual) or ‘this problem doesn’t exist’.

I’ve been wanting to actually talk about actually solving the problem for decades. But get no takers.

And here, we’re even attacking people just trying to avoid getting run over by the steamroller we insist on not stopping.

It’s crazy.
> if we’re picking models to support our points, I’d counter with the Hummer EV

I picked the Model Y, which has outsold every other non-pickup vehicle except the RAV4, and it's really close to the RAV4 numbers. It's a good comparison.

How many Hummers has GM sold this year? Couple hundred? That's three orders of magnitude fewer than the Model Y, the Hummer is irrelevant.

Programming Style Influences (2022)
Good info, interesting. It does add a layer of complexity that takes a bit more to handle. The point of moving away from stateful/naming was to prevent global state and bugs but you can also run into those in other ways as it is somewhat like going from keyed data to offsets/positions binary data. Rebuilding pipelines also seems heavy.

Maybe the solution is a lower level API (current) and a higher level API (somewhat stateful/named but not so global). That does add extra weight though.
I considered this for my pet's medical care. I did some things at a very expensive private equity owned bay area vet clinic, and other things at a much cheaper location quite a drive away. The bay area clinic wanted 4x as much for a relatively routine procedure. But they also had new and more advanced imaging equipment and monitoring equipment, and veterinary surgeons with fancier degrees and specializations.
Agreed that it's a press release, but as somebody who desperately wants this, I'm very glad to see it.

Your point about spray nozzles is a great one. Not many people realize how difficult it is to make such a small and seemingly unimportant component work well and reliably.

In my hydroponics system, spray nozzles are one of the more expensive (for the size and purpose) components and they fail the most often. You’d think a brass nozzle would last years, but it’s going to need to be disassembled and cleaned before a year is up. Now imagine a huge tractor with high pressure bars that are lined with dozens of nozzles operating in a dirty environment and moving huge volumes of fluid. You’re going to get clogs, you’re going to have to clean them, and the application will be non-ideal quite often if you don’t. And that’s just the nozzles.

This stuff is so much harder and more complicated than it seems on the surface. Adding automation almost makes it harder because you really do want a human observing the system and ensuring it’s actually working.

> [..] creative work that deserves to be copyrighted

As I've grown older I've become less and less convinced that any of our current legal frameworks actually protect the output of "creatives".

Instead, it seems that those with the deepest pockets - <cough> looking at you, Disney(!) - have, over the decades, moulded the system to fit their own purposes, leaving most actual creatives high and dry.

When I read sentences including both "Abigail Disney" and "philanthropist" it makes me want to vomit.

I used "Zeb-ra" (not "Zee-bra"), "Her-bs" (nor "Er-bs"), "On-ve-lope", and "Shed-ule". I was speaking in my natural manner, without mixing throwing in any weirdness.

(In my second attempt, I used "En-ve-lope", and got an even lower score.)

Overall, I have to same I am not too impressed.
Does it work to pay people not to cut the forest?
It has worked out positively for us so far, but yes, even with insurance it doesn’t cover everything. My point was not “buy insurance”. My point was “pets are an expensive luxury”. Pets. Plenty of farmers with working animals, and you won’t find them here complaining, because they aren’t under any illusions.
> Or at some point change the rewarding system to favor quality.

I am a scientist, and I don't think anyone knows how to do this. There also is very little skin in the game for this. Bureaucrats want dumb metrics that they can point to to determine success regardless if that metric is meaningful or not. There is a strong pressure to publish quickly, which directly conflicts with a pressure for quality. Many prominent Nobel Laureates, Fields Metal Winners, Turing Prize Winners, and so on have discussed how they themselves could not have thrived in the current environment and its insanity. But who is going to change this? Honestly the ones that are hurt the most are the grad students at the non-top 10-20 universities. Everyone else has found "success" in the system (as in learning how to play that game) and they are highly incentivized to maintain that system and their status. Research is a completely different game today than it was even 20 years ago and we have not adjusted our system accordingly, and worse, many want to pretend that it hasn't changed. An interesting simple example is that research teams have exploded in size (especially at large universities) which makes for a lot of Nobel drama (max 3 per team). But there are also many other simple and more nuanced points that exist, but few want nuance. Either way, I'm absolutely certain that our current metrics do not strongly align with producing good science.

I said "tomatoe" but it scored me better when I pronounce it "tomatoe" instead. I say let's call the whole thing off.

Now seriously, a small detail: on my first usage (Firefox mobile, private tab) the score already appears on screen immediately after I press "record", but it behaves properly in subsequent attempts. Perhaps some weird interaction with the "allow access to microphone" pop-up?

I had insurance for years and it did me no good, they refused to cover a single dollar of expenses even though I had the best most comprehensive policy I could find. This has been my experience with insurance in general. Even in cases where you read the fine print and have all your paperwork in order, they just deny all claims period. Collecting on insurance requires being ready to go to court.

Closing the nuclear power plants was an idiotic decision on Germany's part, but it wasn't particularly relevant to the spike of coal usage (rather it causes a higher base amount of coal usage). The last nuclear power plants were extended through the winter, and decomissioned in April 2023, instead of their originally planned closure before the winter of 2022.

Coal usage has continued to fall despite the closure of the nuclear power plants (though obviously it'd fall even faster if they had kept them open).
Without looking first, I was 100% certain Kamikatsu was a small town.

Unless robots would do all the sorting & collecting for us, close to where the waste is produced, before it's all mixed up into a difficult to sort or recycle mess.

> I say if we were smart we would be sorting out trash but only to bury it to make recycling easier in the future (..)

Valid strategy. But often it's exactly the "sorting out" part that's the problem. Garbage in (everything in 1 heap, many pollutants) -> garbage out (sorted materials not clean enough to be useful for recycling).

If you sort / separate materials well enough, almost everything has some uses so there isn't much point landfilling it.

Some quotes from article:

glass and metal that are irreparably dirty, plastic and metal that has been joined and cannot be separated

That's weird... some mixed-material items are difficult to recycle, but this mix isn't among those.

In an oven, plastics & other contaminants burn off, glass & metals melt at various temperatures, and the metal mix can be creamed off or tapped from bottom of the glass bath.

Metal refiners know how to use (not necessarily separate!) such metal mixtures.

Lightbulbs of all types

Will be recycled into glassware

Maybe. But that's kind of a varied category these days! Some bulbs may not even contain any glass. But unlike incandescents, a variety of semiconductor materials, specialized plastics, etc.

Would be interesting how state-of-the-art recycling handles this category.

This really doesn’t matter. It’s only something you need to care about in your rendering backend. The rest of your engine can use whatever coordinate system you want, and you do the conversion as part of your transforms.
For some reason, I only ever hear this argument from folks with DUIs.

Near as I can tell, approximately 1% of licensed drivers get arrested for DUI a year, and most have repeat offenses.

You can have sd and secrets with just nomad now, it is perfect for small projects in that way.

K8s also can do secrets! base64 encoded secrets! But in case you need a more secure solution. Please pull in a Vault helm chart or mess around with sops or whatever. Want to scale out? See how long it will take you until you will have to move your etcd to dedicated hw/vm's. And let me tell you - setting up external etcd in prod sucks. Also maintaining mission control, because there is a bunch of ways to do things and devs love using things that they are not supposed to touch.

Nomad approach is modular this is why it works. Need proper multi dc SD? please run a consul cluster (single binary + single config file)x3. Need mesh networking? same. Need secrets? Vault (single binary + single config file)x3. Pki? same. Or maybe you don't need it? Then you have an option to just not use it.

Starbucks and similar chains tend to have flat walls without any sound dampening, making them extremely loud, and also their furniture is intentionally designed to merely look comfy, while becoming painful to stay in for long. Even if they don't have a policy (like many independent cafes in Europe now do) of sending a waitress around to politely nudge you to order more or get out, they are not satisfying places to meet up with friends for hours like the traditional Central European cafe of yore.
Exactly. We have to have mechanisms to support replication, which is the only means of validating work. Rather, adding evidence to the work's claim. We're too caught up in this naive notion of novelty, which today more strongly correlates with how well read one is in this massive ocean of papers.
This study is about Austria and includes data going pretty far back.

That being said I can’t find conclusive data elsewhere. Most research doesn’t narrow down to jobs neatly. I’ve found number suggesting suicide rates of 200-400% that of the general pop which is in the same ballpark above and blow. So ymmv.

I think you're reading too much into your parent's comment.

I personally am pro limiting cars. But, if you have to go further than 10km or move a load of stuff around, go ahead, by all means.

My personal experience with cars is daily hours of gridlock hell, with drivers screaming, cutting you off, and being generally nasty. Car sickness from the stop start stop start as bonus. I much rather take the train, do some laptop stuff or read a book, and end up 20 minutes later. I do think we in western europe overoptimized for cars, to the detriment of our children and our health. I do think an SUV generally is a sign of someone being dangerous for everybody else, with not much upside.

But hollywood movies show huge roads with, presumably, hours of absolutely nothing. I don't think I've ever seen more than 1 whole km with nothing but roads and fields, but I can't blame anyone for owning a car in that kind of landscape.

People have vastly different experiences, and equally different needs. Car fanatics, car haters, and everyone in between should try to acknowledge and respect that.
Also, for someone doing street/landscape/portrait photography just for fun and instagram, iPhones will give you a nice image out-of-the-box. Fuji and Ricoh also do this with their built-in "filters", but it's more involved and specific. And you still need to send the pictures to your phone after.

But my experience with a Sony is that you need to do at least an auto-correct on Lightroom/whatever before sharing.

You could bind it to a Compose key sequence, e.g. "Compose+Space Space". (Analogous to em-dash, which is "Compose-Hyphen Hyphen".)

But it's still an extra keystroke. And I worry that I'd cause problems editing non-UTF-8 documents if I retrained my fingers to use it at the end of every sentence and then didn't remember to switch back to the ASCII way of doing things.

> Apple products will be where high-quality VR content is created, proofed, and consumed

Eh... I think this is a bit like claiming "Apple hardware will be where high-quality video games are created, proofed and consumed" in the 90s. You'd be right given the circumstantial evidence, but the industry doesn't really want to play ball. Besides AppleTV and Apple Arcade, I don't think Apple has a huge constituent of VR developers the same way they did for Apps. Simply building the infrastructure won't be enough.

And plus, I don't think your argument rules out a world where Vision Pro is used for recording and Quests are used for content consumption. Unless Apple intends to reinvent the wheel again for 3D video, nothing should stop it from being playable (or at least portable) on other platforms. For most people, the $3,000 price difference will probably not be worth the recording capabilities (especially if they already own an iPhone).

Anything could happen, I guess. Even if you're entirely right though, I don't think Content Creation will be the killer app you think it is. Games and video moves millions of units; productivity and capture are both unproven features poised to reprise Hololens' failure.

> But these days folks are mostly used to the C style syntax. And I'm not even arguing that it is a better language than C or others. But the whole industry has gone overall into believing that anything newly 'invented' is good and anything that's been around a while is passé

Problem of the Pascal syntax is that it prevents adoption of certain constructs, which are just not nice. A few examples

- lambda expression: `begin` ... `end`, say goodbye to nice one liners;

- binary assign: FPC has `+=` `-=` but obviously not `mod=`, `and=`, etc;

On top of that there are other things like

- shortened boolean evaluation (e.g `if someInt` => `if someInt != 0` is not possible because `and` is a two headed creature

- locals are still not default initialized

I use to like Pascal (actually Delphi then ObjFPC) much but nowaday I think the only good parts are in certain semantics, e.g no fallback in the `case`...`of` construct, manual memory management BUT ref counted arrays.

I would tend more to like a C like syntax with certain semantics coming from the Pascal world.
I had this same question, because wouldn't the mode author for a given language define this? I can't imagine this is the same across literally all modes that involve indentation and/or braces?
