I can help you. Authenticity is a synonym for trust, in the context of elections. Its the core of voting preference. That is, the candidate who wins is the one who the voters best trust to represent them.

Inauthentic candidates are seen as less trustworthy to do so. To varying degree. In other words, they are seen to be liars to varying degree. That is, inauthentic. Now you've caught up on how the American mind works in elections.

In the context of how the Get Trump Witch Hunt, ongoing since 2015, has affected eelections going forward: voters are now prone to see such unusual behavior from the opposition as a marker of candidate authenticity. Such is the nature of democracy poisoning actions.

In other words, if a candidate is not subjected to roughly equal treatment, then they will be widely seen as less authentic (more aligned with the opposing party than someone who is subject to it). This was obviously going to be the case going forward, beginning in 2016-17.

Which is a horrific situation for democracy.

To wit, in January 2024, Trump's RNC opposition have degraded themselves to appeals to the supposed fact that the opposition hates them less and therefore they will be more effective. They largely don't (at least effectively) sell themselves on authentic behavior. Possibly because they lack the actual conviction to sell it. Instead, they are essentially tacking toward inauthencity as their primary sales pitch. As a result, they don't stand a snowflake's chance if voters are the determining factor in a head to head primary.
In Poland, some of the houses where historical exterior by law needs to be preserved are insulated from the inside. Of course this eats into the square footage of the building.
Not really. Software for each of them is clunky. You have to first buy one which is wifi enabled. Then you have to download an app from manufacturer and create a login password. Then you have to manually move/upload photos from camera roll to the corresponding app. After this, you have to to back to digital photo frame interface, select the appropriate picture and then tap "display this photo".

All of this should be one step. Ideally Like airdrop. I say "share" and it should magically show up on the photo frame. I should be able to download pics from reddit/imgur and display it on photo frame using a CLI/API.

Another way of looking at that is that within the ability to test, the implementations were indistinguishable, so the process mandated that the older implementation must be used. I wonder if they would have explicitly specified age as a metric if this was considered when designing the process.
Ooof. I can't even imagine the other cultural issues at a company that could allow this to continue. I'm also really glad I don't work with people that need to be told how to have a basically effective meeting...

Which seems totally irrelevant given that we're talking specifically about Boeing failing to meet US regulations (and a bunch of international ones as well).

Selling a car without an airbag in a country that's decided you don't need airbags is the choice of the country. If you wanted this to be similar it'd be selling a car in a country that wants you to have airbags, but yours don't work. Which would be a company I'd avoid.

Call their office (D.C., preferably) or submit a comment noting the issue and your concerns about it. Be dispassoinate. Unless you really know what the fuck you're talking about, avoid suggesting solutions. (You want to avoid the crackpot bin.)

That's true too
Ah, so regulatory capture? I can see that.

It also seems like the ATC system is stretched thin, as well as the airlines themselves in terms of pilots. Though I may be biased since I'm much more aware of ATC problems given the various YouTube channels I watch covering aviation.

It is too difficult and dangerous to run a website without extremely deep[0] technical knowledge.

Most people who want to create and share things (which is almost everyone) need someone else to handle the website for them.

Most companies that will handle a website for you do it under condition of implicit exclusivity. Facebook, TikTok, Youtube, etc want their moats to be as large as possible and the content they publish to be as inaccessible (from outside their silo) as possible.

Why would a company with the resources of Boeing choose to contract out such an important part of their planes, rather than vertically integrate that?

The article only reports number of microplastics without reporting mass. This is particularly difficult to interpret when fibers are responsible for so much of the total:

Notably, across all samples, nearly half (44%) of the identified microplastics were fibers, which is consistent with other studies suggesting that fibers are the most prevalent form of microplastic in the environment.

Are 4 fibers of 50 micron length 4 times more dangerous than one 200 micron long fiber? There's no discussion of it in the article, but reporting microplastics by number of countable particles carries that implication.
You specifically mentioned automakers disregarding safety, which was why I entertained the topic.

We don't know why these doors are falling off yet. Any accusation that it was due to a disregard for safety isn't supported by any facts, yet. It is conjecture.
I've played and enjoyed both. I'll say I liked Turing Complete a lot more but it depends on what you're looking for.

Shenzhen I/O is more a puzzle game where you get thrown a bunch of miniature puzzles you solve via programming cleverness to advance some overall story theme while enjoying general puzzle solving.

Turing Complete is more a digital circuit sandbox which starts you off in a direction of building up more and more complicated components and abstractions and you get more and more freedom as you go until you've unlocked everything and it becomes a big sandbox for you. There is technically a loose "story" but it's more or less just something to give context around what you're currently trying to build in the level not an actual plot. I.e. you could read every line of "story" ahead of time and it would not detract from your first playthrough as it's not really a narrative.

I will say Turing Complete starts off with a very limited feel though. The farther you make it into the game the less and less you see guardrails.
Oh yes but that's a different type of MAX though ! No, not the one with the engine nacelle falling potential issue that we don't have a fix but want the FAA to ignore, the other one !

Out of the 3 current MAX types, one killed people two times and the other two have unresolved issues (one that make it fail FAA certification, and the other that make it lose parts of fuselage in flight ...). And then Boeing ask for fast track certification on the 4th type, because they've been doing such a great job so far.

Although PC-98 was not PC-compatible, Microsoft did support it in DOS and Windows. Programs that just went through DOS or Windows and didn't make lower level BIOS calls directly or try to manipulate hardware directly would frequently just work out of the box on PC-98.

The biggest difference between PC-98 and PC compatibles the DOS/Windows didn't hide that I remember, and that I remember being the biggest source of DOS/Windows programs failing even if they weren't doing low level calls was drive letter assignment.

On PC-98 A: was the drive you booted from. If your system had a floppy drive and a hard drive, and you booted from hard drive then A: would be your hard drive. B: would be your floppy.

In a PC-compatible A: would be the floppy and C: would be the hard disk regardless of which of the two you booted from.

Quite a few programs turned out to have "C: is the first hard drive" hard coded in.
Hyper-rational man who read Freakonomics and LessWrong.com, 45, dies in plane crash.

The man, only identified by his initials F.A., a regular user of the website Hacker News, was the single passenger on a flight on the infamous Boeing 737 Max airplane.

As the plane rapidly lost altitude, he lectured the panicking crew on the safety statistics of the airline industry and how flying is technically safer than driving a car.

I think youre just using a different definition of productivity. Hourly is valid, but yearly is too.
You'll sometimes see this dismissed almost derisively as, "people think they're in control when they're driving, but lack agency while flying, so that's why they fear the latter more."

But that's completely true! Not every driver on the road is at equal risk of a fatal accident. A significant percentage of all fatal accident involve speeding, reckless driving, and/or alcohol consumption, to say nothing of distractions like cell phone usage.

So you do have quite a bit of control on the road and exactly none in the air.

We all miss the opinionated blog era of the 2000s, but even if the Buzzfeed-like aggegator sites that replaced them in the 2010s hadn't existed, the blogs were going to die out eventually.

Great blogs were always seasonal, in that the best content posted on it was written when the writer was in a particular phase of their life. Once that phase passes, the writing dries up. Great websites therefore have a start and an end. We should be archiving these websites, not telling people to "just post anyway" so that the site doesn't disappear from Google Search.

For a Gen Z parallel to this, look to any Reddit thread about how some Youtuber they worshipped a decade ago has either disappeared or is making low-quality content to pump affilliate links. We wouldn't want that happening to our favorite writers of yesteryear. There's no shame in calling time on something.

20 years ago, maddox.xmission.com was my go-to place for rants and laughs. The site is still around, but I've changed, so my interests are elsewhere. Similarly, I can't expect the site's author to still be playing the same character that made me bookmark the site all those years ago.

Stop driving? Most microplastic in water come from tires.

I've been trying to make small moves away from car infrastructure in my town and the response is, well, less than positive.

We already tacitly accept that cars are one of the biggest causes of death. Reducing car infrastructure to reduce microplastics, where we don't even really know the harm, seems far far more challenging.

> "Only two people would have died, so it's really not that bad," is wild.

Straw man. Nobody says even a single death isn't tragic. What I'm saying is it doesn't overwhelm trillions of miles of safe flight. Not flying a 737 Max 8, only to go onto a Spirit Aerosystems-assembled Airbus, doensn't make sense. (Note: not implicating Spirit. Just saying that the window of culpabilitiy extends more in their direction than it does across every 737 Max.)
Yeah, F.E.A.R. left a lasting impression on me. NPCs charted a path around the level to sneak up behind me and kill me while I was in a protracted firefight with the rest of their buddies.

> The idea that it plateaus is a well studied phenomenon; most people don’t get significantly happier after 75k or so a year.

That claim is 100% bullshit and I'm surprised anybody on HN would ever believe it. Just consider housing prices alone!

Where was that study done? Bumfuck, Nowhere, where a 2,000 sq ft house is $50K and you can live like a king on $30/hr? Was it done in 1990 or something?

Go to ANY major city and $75K/year won't even buy you a modest condo, let alone a house. You'll struggle to even raise a family in an apartment on that.

I can certainly tell you that I'm much happier making $200K/year than when I was making $100K/year. $100K paid all the bills and still had decent disposable income. $200K means I can buy a $2,000 GPU and not feel like I need to budget for it. $200K means I can buy my $150,000 dream car. $200K means I can buy prime-quality ribeye on a whim and not care that it's $30/lb. It means flying first class to Italy when I go on vacation, rather than flying coach to somewhere in the USA.

I can't fathom how ANYBODY can think the plateau happens at $75K. Absolute and utter nonsense.
Also true! And if the mood strikes the media complex to kick a wounded gazelle for profit, which they are known to do, a site like this getting featured on the news may well feed back into their stock price too.
If you estimate the risk by just taking the number of fatal crashes and dividing by the number of miles traveled by all 737 Max'es, it's roughly 10x safer per mile than car. (And almost certainly more dangerous than cars per trip rather than per mile.)

> 1,300 aircraft have been built since the [737 Max] first started flying in 2017, with two deadly crashes. I don't know how many miles those have accumulated, but presumably it's of order 4k miles per day per aircraft, and maybe [1.5] years ([500] days) of flying to date per aircraft on average [in light of delivery dates and extensive groundings], giving a very rough estimate of a [~2] billion miles? So maybe a deadly crash per billion miles, in comparison to a bit over one deadly crash per 100M miles for cars.

Off Topic.

Holy Crap! Out of all the AI project so far I think this category has potentially the biggest threat ( or changes ) to human kind. And why did I not think of this in all the AI Debate.

It reminds me of all the Anime and Sci-Fic. How far are we from a Dating Game made with AI GirlFriend or BoyFriend with In-App purchase. The potential to make this even more addictive than gambling.
Not sure if Chat is any better but I am running an AI bot over SMS currently and it is wildly more expensive to SMS than it is to actually process the conversations.

I spend about $0.30 - $0.50 per day per user (8 - 10 messages). Twilio is around $0.08 - $0.10 per message to send because the fee isn't per message but per segment. MMS without doubt will explode that cost.

Not to mention if you go on SMS, you have to pay $10+ plus a monthly fee to "validate your identity" plus the ~$1 per month per number.

This is entirely before you discuss platform risk especially with Twilio wanting to go mainstream and investor-friendly. All it takes is one news story and Twilio starts kicking people off platform for "adult content".

If I was designing this kind of system, I would probably just use like websockets or some other out of the box chat functionality. You'd basically be in the same privacy situation as you are right now (creator can see what you send and receive).

If you want to pursue this as a full-on business, you should consider upselling into 'private instances' or other privacy-increasing measures. I'd imagine you'd find people willing to buy the "v1" for hundreds of dollars + hosting costs if it was good enough.

Oh, and just wanted to encourage you to ignore the "why Telegram".

It's fine. Your audience isn't really HN. We are just here for the tech and startup discussions. Your audience is the 99.999% of people who will go "Oh sick, an AI girlfriend right where I already am!"

I've tried to build for HN-like audiences and it sucks because 1) most of them will just build it themselves or want to run it themselves (ie: not friendly to closed source SaaS) 2) they will not give up their data at all costs (for good and valid reason).

Just write HN and all tech people out of your ICP unless you are selling B2B or prosumer and even then you'll probably not want to sell directly to them but to their bosses.

This is destructive to air transportation. I understand the appeal of avoiding 737 MAX but realistically it's one of the safest model to fly on because of how much effort is put into further accident mitigation.

Without even talking about how safe aviation is in general.

>There are rumors AMD won't do high end cards anymore.

No there aren't. There are rumors AMD isn't doing a high end card for the next generation. That isn't the same thing.

In any case, graphics cards are improving faster than the ability to make use of the power, especially with upscaling technology. Now that "midrange" cards are able to hit 144hz at 1440p with maximum graphics, the market for high-end is probably going to dry up a bit, at least until full path tracing is viable, or 4k monitors get cheaper.

What would make sense for AMD is to spend less time on fancy hardware architectures (dual-chip GPUs) and more time focusing on getting AI working well, improving their software stack, and not having issues like the "power bug" that supposedly held back the 7000 series GPUs from reaching their intended performance goals. I expect that's what they're doing.
All those people that ostracized or otherwise hurled abuse at the postmasters, they can go to hell.
pretty good post.
The big gap is a section on noise.
Citys like seattle have incredibly tough noise limits at property boundaries for heatpumps. with many high density single family houses close to the property line. it makes it difficult to find a quiet heatpump. (stupidly there are noise limit differences for a heat pump vs an AC unit)

As far as I can tell there are no efficient heatpumps available on the market that can sit legally less than 6 feet from the property line in Seattle and supply a 5 ton system
Where is the data sourced for this checker?

I just tested two upcoming flights (UA2021 and UA2022), both of which are currently (as in, today) flown on 737-900. UA2021 shows as "Not a Max" and UA2022 shows as "Is a Max".
