This argument confuses “everybody hangs out with just a few people” with ”a few people hang out with a few people”. The former is a cool idea, sure, but the latter is just a description of a not-very-successful service. I mean, I like my local pub, but it isn’t HN-worthy.

Social media is valuable, that’s why people use it. It would be nice if we end up coordinating on social media that aren’t toxic or addictive. Unfortunately mastodon may not make that happen, as GP said.

You learn about conditional probabilities and how to calculate around those. They teach Bayes theorem but doesn't use that name or the formula, since the formula is too hard for kids to read, but you are given the intuitive explanation for how conditional events are related to each other and you write those out in event trees where it is easy to see. I clearly remember getting taught the exact equivalent to Bayes theorem in middle school, they just didn't call it that.

If anyone who learned that sees Bayes theorem later it is intuitively obvious, so there is really no need to bring it up, and there is no reason to take a course to understand Bayes theorem later as an adult. Those things are easy thanks to what you learned in middle school.
The point is, if someone has an iPhone and I have an iPhone, I simply cannot send them a text. For anyone who has moved from iPhone can attest to, it is quite effing annoying, especially if your workplace gives you a Mac that you are logged into.

There’s no choice not to use iMessage or their iMessage app to send a text, except if the other person is registered to iMessage, it will use that instead.

It’s really annoying. They either need to disable iMessage or open it up as a separate app you get from the App Store.
Probably could. I doubt the US has the ability to do it. CA can't even finish the bart and they can't even finish the high speed rail.

Huge infra structure projects like this are no longer feasible in terms of cost and political/collective will in the US.

It's almost a 99% guarantee this will never get built ever. At least not by the US. Any time you see speculative stuff about big projects in the US that aren't related to the military it's a pretty much a guarantied pipe dream.

The only way I see it getting built if they angle it as some kind of military thing to stay competitive with China. But that's really a stretch.
I think it still makes sense to make web apps that can function without JS.
At ~400 parts per million CO2 concentration, that would be wildly wasteful. We could more easily take the money that would go into building the plant and put direct capture on existing fossil fuel power plants.

Better yet would be to put up short transmission lines out of the park, and set up a dirt cheap energy district for energy intensive manufacturing- smelting, data centers, that sort of thing.

The magma chamber stays cool, there's a nice new tax base, good potential for reducing emissions, everyone wins except for the people who want Yellowstone to be untouched wilderness.
I'm a fat-ass. Will this let me generate fit, attractive photos of myself to use in my dating profile?
I don't recall if multivariable was pushed in at the end of my differential and integral calculus course or at the beginning of my differential equations course. It's possible it was also somehow tucked into my linear algebra course (though, I doubt it).

In any case, we did cover multivariable as a pretty straightforward extension of single-variable calculus, without making it a separate course. Do I likely have some huge blindspot as a result of not spending a full course on multivariable calc?

(All of my formal education was in the U.S., for what that's worth. Though, it was an accelerated magnet program teaching middle school students algebra and trigonometry and covering geometry, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations in high school.)
Luma WebGL Library
I have been editing my podcast and guides with NLEs on Linux for the past decade. Kdenlive, OpenShot, Olive, Cinelerra, Blender and Pitivi all lack one key feature. Stability. You can lose a staggering amount of work between auto saves.

After a day of playing with the free version of Resolve in 2017 I gave BlackMagic some cash for a license & capture card for audio. The early versions lacked ALSA support.

Editing sessions can last 8 to 10 hours and I can't remember the last time it spite-crashed. Granted, this doesn't prevent me from mindlessly tapping Ctrl+S every few minutes.
Show HN: You Need Less Caffeine Than You Think
If a knee-jerk Reddit comment were expanded to an article, it would be this. And an article titled "... love the taste of boots" doesn't deserve a deeper criticism.

Also, from the author of this article:

> Unlike most people on Twitter, I’m actually using GPT3 in a production system. The mistake people are making is they are asking “how can I use this to automate a smart person’s job”, when they should be asking “what would I do if I had unlimited dumb people”

Sounds like he aspires to wear the boots people lick.
hehe, or drilling down into the magma chamber 160 times causes it to erupt prematurely.
An issue I've noticed with meme seizure as an idea is:

1. People don't understand that source codes are memes that we can seize

2. People say "sieze the memes", but then fail to take action to seize control of criticial memes of production, especially the boring ones responsible for human quality of life.

So far when I have encountered it in others, it's definitely been a "punny" joke, rather than a real call to effective meme seizure. People say it as a sign that they don't believe they should have to do any useful work for any reason besides "the lols". And that's not bad on the face of it, if it also leads memers to revolt against their bosses.

But it's an attitude that contradicts its own supposed goal, caused by the dissociative anti-autheticity common in meme circles. If you push memers to do useful work, they reveal that they're close to being suicidal in the first place. They're not in a mental status to seize anything or undergo any large stress. They need de-traumatization and social support before they can handle rigorous activism.

Conclusion: Building the revolution by seizing memes must overcome the fundamental atomization, dissociation - a depression that memers naturally experience - and find ways to assign them useful memetic seizure tasks.
We should take Montana and push it somewhere else.

Quake is more difficult to mod (map building is more complicated and you need to build models rather than sprites) but it seems to have a few active source ports.
I feel like you're being intentionally obtuse and pointing at the obvious case so you don't have to address the point. Yes yes, Billy Bob CEO isn't going to replace himself with someone else, but a company big enough to employ offshore workers and deal with international taxes and employment regulations is big enough to have more than one department and more than one office which could be offshored wholesale. And the financier quoted above, if they can get the same development from an offshore company for less, is going to finance the offshore company instead of Billy Bob.

That is, the implicit threat "if you don't RTO, we will offshore you" comes with the counter "if you do RTO, we won't offshore you" - except if offshore was actually tempting, they could and would offshore your entire office even after you RTO to it, and "the market" would/will offshore the whole company.

To the extent that doesn't happen, "you working from home is indistinguishable to an Indian working from India" isn't true. Timezone, language, culture,

"RTO because we need the extra productivity of everyone in the office - but if you don't, we'll accept the reduced productivity, just with other cheaper people" is also nonsense - then why not offer the WFH American less money to stay WFH? No? Because it's a punishment and not a real business decision.
There's already federal laws against setting up geothermal power generation in Yellowstone.

> [Twitter]'s off better than ever

I'd agree that it's hard to take an opinion seriously that pronounces Twitter as dead. As you pointed out, when OpenAI's drama was unfolding, the conversations happened mainly on Twitter. But saying Twitter's current form is the service at its best is also hard to take seriously. I tried to follow said conversation about OpenAI during Altman's ouster and I found the site to be an inconsistently broken mess. To this day, I'm still not sure why I'm able to access certain posts without signing in, but not others. In my experience, the quality of the discussion on the site as a whole has also taken a hit.

And again with the whole freedom of speech. It continues to baffle me how people associate Musk with the first amendment. He brands himself as a free speech absolutist, but his actions have continuously shown him to have no problem silencing critics and playing favorites on the platform.

Yeah, in the 90s and 00s I think people published just because they could. Either real identity or not. They (we?) had something to say, to express.

The link you posted starts with this:

> Marine methane hydrate is an ice-like substance that is stable in sediment around marine continental margins where water depths are greater than ~450–700 m.

The continental shelves are the areas close to the continents that are shallow, with an average depth of 200 m. They constitute 7.5% of the total ocean area [1].

All the water below 200 m depth is virtually at the same temperature of about 4 degrees Celsius [2]. So, the methane hydrate is well below the surface layer that gets heated by the sun and affected by the climate change.

Because the strong labor market is not equally distributed.
In the UK, if you publish a book, magazine or newspaper, by law you have to send a copy to the British Library for archive. A lot of other countries have similar laws. In the UK, legal deposit has expanded to include the web (so long as the person/group creating the content is in the UK), but since many individuals and small businesses are unaware of legal deposit, the UK Web Archive will archive a lot of the web by themselves.

Tom Scott interviewed some people from the British Library, and they explain the importance of archiving:

> The importance of legal deposit not being selective, and being everything, is: we can't decide today what's going to be important in 50 years' time. We want everything, because we don't know what will be important.

He also added his own thoughts:

> I cannot overstate just how useful it is to be able to track down things that never made it online, or to research out of print, forgotten books where there are no other copies available, or to scan through every issue of an obscure local newspaper to track down one reference. This is the raw text of history, as it happened, and someone has to keep it preserved for the future.

No it is not. Arguably, it never were. I mean yes, PHP had security bugs. So did all other platforms - including, for example, the Java one that led to Equifax compromise, which is as close as "everybody just lost their privacy" as any single break-in can get. I'd argue that PHP's security stance as a platform was never substantially worse than any comparable platform.

However, you get two additional factors: a) it's easy, therefore it attracts beginners and b) it's popular, therefore a lot of software uses it. More various software - more security issues. More software implemented by beginners - a lot more security issues. That was inevitable - any platform that was as low entry barrier and as popular and that appeared in the same time, when the web was exploding, but the understanding of how to manage security on the web was lagging behind - would have absolutely the same going on.

But, blaming the tool because a lot of people didn't use it correctly - and, also, because due to its novelty there weren't proper education and frameworks that made it easy to do the right thing - makes little sense. There's nothing security-challenged in PHP. It's just that PHP was there when security-challenged programmers started to build websites. Most of them grew up now and know how to do it right. Either in PHP or in any other language.

> given the size of past Yellowstone eruptions, and the span of time between them, the rate that energy builds below the volcano is only around 1.5 gigawatts - less heat than a typical power plant sheds. Yellowstone currently bleeds heat at a rate of about 4.5 to 6 gigawatts, mostly through heated water moving below the surface. You'd thus (theoretically) only need to increase the heat bleed by around 35% to stop energy accumulating and stop future eruptions.

Doesn't this say that the heat bleed is already at least 300% of what's necessary to stop energy from accumulating?
You can absolutely teach basic statistical literacy without too much other maths and certainly without any higher maths. That’s how it’s done in schools in other countries - for example here is the statistics component of the maths GCSE for one of the exam boards in the UK (the others will be similar) https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/mathematics/gcse/mathematics...

GCSE starts after the third year of secondary school in the UK so most people will have completed their GCSE in the year they turn 16. Then 16-18 year olds wanting to study STEM subjects go on to do maths A-level, which includes more topics that in the US would be considered precalc as well as some calculus, more probability and statistics and some mechanics. Here’s the A-level syllabus from the same board. As you can see, for stats it includes distributions and hypothesis testing, so much more depth https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/mathematics/as-and-a-level/m...
That's fine, but the complaint was that a VPS is "a few dollars more [than $20/year]" as if that was an objectionable amount/increase. In that case, money is the main decider and $60 is much worse, and $8 is much better. People fighting for "a few dollars" a year are likely to be expecting (or unhappily tolerate) lower quality.

I've had pretty good experiences of Linux VPSs for around $20/year from several companies.

I thought that Grant's video did a great job of explaining it was all phase kicks, and how it all depended on resonant frequencies of the medium.

[Edit]In the second video above, he notes that phase kicks don't change the speed of the wave, even though the wavelengths can stretch out, it's still lower than the speed of light in vacuum.

Phase kicks don't change the speed of a wave. If you setup a similar experiment with sound or water where you constructed an interference pattern that kicked back the phase of the wave, the wave wouldn't slow down.

If you want an actual non-layman explanation for why light slows down ib a medium you need to express the light and medium interaction in terms of polaritons. Of course this is incredibly difficult to do so for even simple cases, so alas a whole suite of simplified explanations exist that seek to explain some aspect of the situation while failing to explain others.
