Atomic mass 260 != element 260. Bismuth-209 has atomic mass ~209 but is element 83 (123 neutrons add the extra mass).

An atomic mass of 260 probably means about... 100-120 protons? That's a guess from eyeballing this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elements_by_stability_...

Still very cool, but not (far) outside of what has been synthesized.

You answered your own question. The taxpayer already pays the same amount for lifetime treatment. This is just going to be the same except the person can lead a completely normal life after this. Also over time this will probably be much, much cheaper than the current lifetime treatment. There’s no reason a lot of the process can’t be easily automated.
There's certainly legitimacy to the public distribution aspect you lay out. I imagine there are laws that'd almost cover that already. But if you look around this very HN post you'll see most of the calls are for making generation itself illegal, not distribution.

Amsterdam is not extremely big but almost 1 million people is not extremely tiny. And even then size little to do with these stats unless you are talking about places with less than a handful of supermarkets.

Flatness is nice (but weather is bad). However, the main thing is infrastructure and mixed zoning. When you build bike lanes, walkable streets and lots of shops, a livable city will follow, not the other way around. Build for the traffic you want rather than the traffic you have.

These stats on supermarkets will be similar in many European cities btw. Many cities in the US are also relatively flat, and you don't see the same thing generally.
I bought one of the midori notebooks. It’s so nice that I feel bad about using it.
For general-purpose LLMs, there is no indication given during training that texts are parallel -- while there are parallel texts in the training data, the model is not trained on generating one text from another. That is, it does not get any feedback during training about translation, only prediction in the current token stream, not parallel ones.

There are several completely unsupervised language translation systems that predate LLMs, but the performance is middling.

For LLMs the translation behavior is largely an emergent property that is not completely understood; if we can tokenize whale language in a useful way, it is entirely possible that the LLM can derive a weak or approximate translation of some of the language structure.

Lots of good points in this article. One big factor I didn't see mentioned is cycle time when developing or debugging. How long does it take to run some code to test it or reproduce a bug? This is especially relevant these days since a lot of modern architecture trends like serverless, k8s, or distributed microservices can be much tougher in this area than a more traditional monolith.

There are workable approaches but they often take some legwork to get working well. Having an easy way for any engineer to quickly run and test code, especially when jumping into an area they are unfamiliar with, can save an immense amount of time.
Sure, not a medical procedure. It's really a religious ritual. I only support it when the baby was born to the "tribe" that performs it during infancy (the Jews, some Christians, etc). After all, who are we to tell a culture about their customs, especially for a very safe procedure.

That is utter nonsense. Most of the infrastructure is paid for via the general funds. US gas taxes are laughably low, and the federal gas tax (supposed to pay for highways) has not been raised since 1993, so its value effectively halved since it was last raised.

The highest gas tax in the US is a combined 70c/gal.

> Realistically, most applications will never need to scale up. So what's wrong with a nice framework that allows people to just get stuff done?

I've coded with Rails since Rails 3.

There are a few issues with rails:

1/ DHH never gets JS right. CoffeeScript, Asset pipeline, and now the new Turbo. Migrating your FE every 3-5 years to a new language stack is the opposite of "get stuff done"

2/ Rails is built for b2b apps (Basecamp). If your business looks like basecamp, then the conventions will work for you, but if it doesn't (think b2c apps), it won't. Examples: ActiveStorage was a mess with no CDN support (it is better now though), Action Cable only supports a handful of connections compared to nodejs.

3/ No ML support.

If you want a framework that "allows people to just get stuff done" then use Django. It is similar to rails and has all the bells and whistles of the ML community.

I'm not going to claim that all externalities are priced. There is certainly a lot more that we could do. But many of them are. The cost of the calories, the tools, the training, the property, and the marketing are certainly all priced.

But let's just say that you priced all of the externalities perfectly. In this hypothetical example, can you really make an argument that all of that adds up to more than, say, 100 dollars?

And if you can't, then you still have a lot of "value" to account for.

ADHD is NOT a disability. I strongly disagree with this stance. ADHD is a difference for sure but ADHD people have their own set of strengths that neurotypicals people don’t excel at.
I’m ADHD and in my workplace, I’m more “abled” than the neurotypical people I work with. I work quicker, and smarter than anyone else. I also get a lot of respect from my colleagues about how good I am at my job, especially in a crisis or an emergency. Watching Neurotypical people do things slowly and overthink shit to the point of absurdity drives me nuts and they appear to have their own limitations as well.

People preferring this phone's photos is just evidence that it actually takes better snapshots, rather than me being biased about my own tech choices.

Its very close to the lifetime average financial cost of medical services related to sickle cell disease for those with it, from things posted elsewhere in the thread. So its literally just paying the same (loosely) financial cost up front and then not having them suffer through the disease.

An incentive structure that encourages mostly making the wrong decisions on things like this when it comes to cost/quality-of-life is why the US has the most expensive healthcare system in the developed world on a per capita or per GDP basis, and doesn't have better-than-typical general outcomes to show for it.
By "moving parking to one side of the street", do you mean get rid of half of the parking spots? I'm having trouble visualizing this part, but it sounds like you want the road layout to be (from left to right) sidewalk, double bike lane, double car lane, parking, sidewalk.
I didn't have that situation (I was putting in Smurf tubes while insulating an old balloon-framed house, so I was mostly doing straight runs down the walls, with the occasional bend around a window, before filling up the airspaces), but if I did, I'd try to just build a void in to go all the way up to the attic.

I don't want society to "get over" highly realistic fake nudes of high school girls. We have to draw the line somewhere (although I'm not sure how to solve the problem). There have been many cases reported of such images being passed around schools as a form of harassment and bullying. Such incidents are highly damaging to the victims, sometimes essentially forcing them to transfer schools and in a few cases perhaps even contributing to suicides.
The “real” value of goods doesn’t change just because the value of currency changes. You’d be much more upset at 30% deflation, which is why there are inflation targets.

Your post is incomplete. Instead of saying "announce IPv6", it might be better to say "announce IPv6 with SLAAC" or "announce SLAAC-supporting IPv6".

If, in the Route Announcements, you enable the M flag, then that disables SLAAC on your subnet, forcing folks to use DHCPv6 for an IP allocation (or use a static IPv6 address).

Besides, that "fun exercise" is what ISPs often do: For example, Comcast turned on IPv6 without any warning (at least, no warning pushed to customers). In my case, I (the user) didn't notice it was in use until I checked, which I think is exactly how it is supposed to work for the end-user.
