Of course they are wrong. I can't read the actual article, it is behind a paywall, but my guess is that they qualify heavily any statements about superheavy elements on the 33 Polyhymnia asteroid, otherwise I can't see how it could pass peer review.

From the abstract of the article, it appears that it is simply presenting some numerical calculation that show that the element 164 would have a density in a certain range (36-68 g/cm3) given some models of the nucleus and of the electron shells. The numerical methods could be innovative enough that the article is worth publishing.

But 33 Polyhymnia being rich in this element is complete nonsense. There is no plausible scenario where an asteroid would be composed exclusively out of such an element. Heavy elements are created in supernova explosions. They are relatively rare. You can find them in small proportion among more frequent elements, such as iron, nickel, lead, etc. There is no scenario where you'd find only a superheavy element in isolation. Uranium has an average concentration of 2.8 parts per million on Earth.

Much, much more likely is that the estimation of the mass of 33 Polyhymnia was erroneous. Here's why: you can't measure the mass of a celestial object by how far it moves around the Sun. All objects will move with the same speed on the same orbit. You can however determine the mass of the Sun by observing a single planet. Similarly, you can measure the mass of Jupiter by observing how fast its satellites go around it. You only need one satellite, but if you have more, it will only increase your confidence. You can estimate like this the mass of all the planets, with a very high accuracy.

But you can't estimate the mass of small celestial objects that don't have satellites. Instead you look for n-body interactions, and there are such in the asteroid belt. But for any asteroid there, the main forces are the gravitational attraction to the Sun and Jupiter. A distant third will be Mars, and occasionally asteroids feel the gravitational influence of their neighbors. But not very often, because distances between asteroids are actually astronomical.

So, the most likely explanation (virtually certain) is that whoever estimated the density of 33 Polyhymnia to be 75 g/cm3 was simply wrong. There was no subsequent confirmation. 75 g/cm3 is such an extraordinary claim, the it requires truly extraordinary evidence, and such evidence is entirely lacking.
> Middle of video ads should be content creator controlled.

They are, sort of.

As a content creator you pick the position for the ads, but it doesn't mean they'll pop up there for everyone, there's only a chance they'll show up there. For example you could put mid-roll ads every minute, but youtube will only pick one of those positions so the viewer only sees an ad every 10 minutes or so, the real "cooldown time" depends on what data youtube has on the viewer.

Content creators can disable mid-roll ads completely.

If you can barely afford all the things you need, but none of the things you want, then that sounds like the definition of poor to me.

Not being able to afford basic needs needs a stronger term like ‘starving’.

What kind of asinine pricing plan are you proposing. Just pay the $14 or don’t. Your proposition would be a development nightmare with its complexity.
No, look at cable. Companies will turn the dial up on ads as much as they can, consumers have shown that they'll tolerate the current level of ads on YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, etc.

It's no different than price points, not showing the amount of ads the market will bear is leaving money on the table.

> You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Left unspecified: does the host _always_ follow this exact procedure unconditionally? Does the player know this to be a fact?

Is the hosts algorithm exacly:

1) let the player choose a door
2) open _a_ door that was not the players choice that the host knows contains a goat
3) let the player change choice if they'd like

If it's not, then depending on what the host's algorithm is, then it's not even a question of probability or the odds might differ. Also depending on what the player knows or doesn't it may stop being a question of probability.

Sounds nice. I grew up in El Paso Texas and there is a huge refinery in the lower valley and it completely ruined the quality of life. It’s located in a poor immigrant neighborhood right in the city core.

You can see the flares burning all day and all night. The smell in the surrounding neighborhood is unbearable. Every day tankers line up outside causing traffic jams so much that the refinery has to hire police traffic controllers. More than once I recall a truck crashing and spilling its contents while growing up.

Really sucks all around.
You know you can donate to it, right? And Mozilla gets 2% of their revenue from donation. People just don't pay for software when free alternative is available. Also if other mozilla products are profitable, then that money will go to firefox as mozilla is non profit company.

Edit: Leared that you could only donate to mozilla foundation which is not the same.

What I don’t understand is why YouTube is going to these lengths to penalize ad blockers when they still gate Premium behind a bundle with another service nobody wants. They even trialed an unbundled Premium in Europe two years ago, but never did anything with it: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/2/22605455/youtube-premium-l...

One can only conclude that some executive at Google is still dead-set on making YouTube Music happen, and YouTube Premium will continue to suffer as a result.
The term is poverty. Which poor definitely encompasses!

As always, 'need' and 'want' are somewhat up for debate.

Is medical care a need, or a want? For most of the world (by numbers), it's a want.

Is dental care a need, or a want? For most of the world (by numbers), it's a want.

Is a roof over your head that you own (or have control over anyway) a need or a want? For most of the world (by numbers), it's a want.

Is physical safety (reasonably free from random assault and physical violence) a need or a want? Depending on your region of the world, its a want.

Is a diet with meat and/or flavor a need or a want? Depending on your region of the world, it's a want.

Is schooling/formal education a need or a want? (and to what level?)
Depending on your region of the world, it's a want.

Etc.

But nothing in the article described someone who was even close to poor, let alone in poverty from my experience. Just not well off or rich, by American standards.

By most of the world's standards (by land area especially!) they were describing upper middle class.

Humans can survive on very little, and the basic level of objective 'need' is faaar below what HN might consider humane. So it's hard to draw a concrete or objective line.

Refineries are usually built at the peripheries of towns. But land is cheap and people who want cheap houses buy there after the refineries are built. Kinda like airports --built out in the outskirts, land is cheap, then people build around the cheap land and subsequently complain about noise pollution.

Similar story : Growing up , my mother bought us an encyclopedia set (in Spanish) hardcover set with blue covers , where each volume was named after a question, and there were at least 8 with names like:

What?
When?
How?
Why?
Who?
Where?
etc

The questions would range from the "how do planes fly" , to "who discovered gunpowder?". They would have illustration, which was super helpful to picture steam power, and the Cretacean period duration relative to other periods, etc. It was all in color so I suspect they have aged well. I remember coming back to certain questions over and over. Some that I still remember - "When did the universe begin?" "What happened to the dinosaurs?".

IN short I cannot recommend this set enough. I tried to google, I'll need to come back and post it once I find the original that is hanging out at a relative's library.
Maybe the ads depend on how much content you're consuming? Before I got premium I would notice the ads would get more numerous the more number of videos I watched. And would start getting more unskippable ads and multiple ones. I guess I liked to sample videos and switch to a different one so it got annoying fast. I couldn't block ads on my smart TV app so I gave up and subbed. Premium also helps a lot when I watch YT on my Oculus Quest 2.

Same here and been happy with them. Not only the aforementioned issues in addition to the sheer cost of a newer car these days. Deals can be had, but are hard to find.
If you had willingly jumped from ad block to premium any time in the last 5 years would you still feel alienated? Reacting to google blocking ad-blockers as a reason not to subscribe to premium is just rationalizing not paying creators for content.

I personally don't even remember what ads are like on Youtube and have zero idea how they've changed since the Youtube Red days.

> no one would enable new features, ever.

Unfair take meet hyperbole take.
Regardless of escape analysis, this problem doesn't exist in Rust, because the language features that lead to this problem don't exist either.

In Rust, moves are built in into the language. Types with destructors can't have implicit copying, and there are no copy constructors. There is no moved-from state of objects, and destructors never run redundantly. Box (Rust's unique_ptr) is statically guaranteed to be always non-null and have a single owner at all times. So the language has no equivalent of omitting std::move, and has no semantically-observable copy to elide.

See https://rust.godbolt.org/z/PnWv5d6n9 and https://rust.godbolt.org/z/Efosx3Wea

Rust does emit memcpy for its moves, and for that it has got some specific LLVM improvements: https://khei4.github.io/gsoc2023/

You can be poor while still having everything you need (even if others were more poor than you).

I grew up poor, but didn’t realize it until adulthood, because we had everything we needed. I rarely got new clothes, mostly wearing hand me downs or thrift shop purchases. We had food 7 days a week, but in the winter when dad was laid off from his construction job and worked part time where he could, someone from the church would drop off a big food box every week (as a child, I thought everyone got that box). The same church sponsored a Santa Clause that delivered gifts to us at Christmas time (mostly practical things like clothing, shoes, etc). At school I got a packet of free lunch tickets every week from the teacher, while almost all of the rest of the class had to bring in a check or cash from home. We did have family vacations in the summer which were almost always a tent camping trip to a state park within driving distance, dad still went to work from that vacation spot. Eventually he worked his way up the ranks at work to a better paying year round job and we move firmly into the middle class, but until grade 6 or so, we were definitely what I’d call poor.
Part of the issue is that there are drastically different types of experiences, with different causes and different solutions, that are put under the umbrella of poverty. For example, the author states:

> when it was time to go home, it was simply a return to the warm space that I shared with my family.

It's good that he could do that. But that opportunity doesn't exist for people who not only don't have a warm space to return to, but may not have any permanent space to return to, and may not even have a family.

> Many of my neighbors also worked in the same catering company as my mom, which meant that there was an aura of familiarity that connected us all.

Again, it's wonderful that he has such memories. Even those of us who were never poor might find something enviable about that. But in some areas of concentrated poverty, the idea of many neighbors working at all is a non-starter, much less many neighbors working together. Or if there are jobs, they aren't catering jobs, they're dangerous work like mining and meatpacking, which leave wounded casualties in their wake who then become additional burdens on meager familial resources.

So one thing that rubs me the wrong way a bit is the way the author is basically saying "adjust your thinking and you won't feel poor." And while that might be good advice for people who can't afford luxuries, it's not so helpful for people who can't afford basic necessities like food and a roof over their heads.

Sure, but all these systems do significantly more work than necessary (or have subtle caching issues and race conditions) because they have to be continuously reindexing an anemic model of the code base.

As far as image-based systems go, give me one of those any day: Common Lisp and Smalltalk have tooling and introspection capabilities from the future. My own experience is that I’m significantly more productive getting up to speed on a new Lisp (Common Lisp, elisp, Clojure) codebase than on any of the alternatives because the system stores so much metadata about the entities.

Also, I think you're underestimating the capabilities for forming narratives that my proposed system gives you: views, stored procedures, various tools built on things like graphviz for visualizing the structure of the code.

America's 'Gold Standard' GPS Risks Falling Behind Rival Systems
Assuming my numbers are correct...

The chance that one satellite hits a (big) human is 1E4/5E8.

The chance that one satellite does not hits a (big) human is 1-1E4/5E8.

If you have 1E4 falling satellites, the chance that none of them hits a human is (1-1E4/5E8)^1E4.

If you have 1E4 falling satellites, the chance that at least one of them hits a human is 1-(1-1E4/5E8)^1E4.

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1-%281-1E4%2F5E8%29%5E%...

18.127% but my numbers are too rounded so I prefer to round the result to 20% (or at least 18%).

When you have (1-1/A)^B there are two different approximations.

When B > A you can approximate it by e^(-B/A)

When B < A you can approximate it by 1-B/A

The idea is that you can apply the Taylor serie and get (1-1/A)^B = e^(log(1-1/A)B) ~= e^((-1/A-1/A^2)B) ~= e^(-B/A-B/A^2) ~= 1-B/A-B/A^2+(-B/A-B/A^2)^2/2 ~= 1-B/A-B/A^2+B^2/A^2/2 ~= 1-B/A+B^2/A^2/2 dropping that tiny -B/A^2

So the final result of the approximation is

1-(1-B/A+B^2/A^2/2) = B/A - B^2/A^2/2

that in my case is

1E4/5E81E4 - (1E4/5E81E4)^2/2 = .2 - .04/2 = 20%-2% = 18%

The thing is that the first part of the approximation B/A is easy to remember. And the first correction is (B/A)^2*something, but I never remember that something is just 1/2, I must redo the calculation when I need it. Usually B/A is fine.

So ... I still don't understand if I made an horrible mistake with my selection of the numbers to make the approximation of they are doing something wrong.
