Like my sibling said, probably as a next_public environmental variable.

They probably were doing fetch requests for the dashboard client side. I wonder if they had the entire db url stored as a next_public_db_url. If that’s really irresponsible, and pretty easy to catch in development, at least for the pages router stuff. Maybe a little less so obvious for ssr pages.

I haven’t tried a lot of the new app_router, maybe there’s a lot more mixing of client and server side stuff there. Regardless, you should be auditing your environmental variables!
Are you guessing based on installations in other countries, or do you know that?

I would presume that volcanic rock is difficult to put a trench down through. But I am interested to know.

Edit: I found a good article with pictures of the equipment used about water jets to trench in soft seabeds: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1312/8/6/460/htm It mentions cable ploughs and mechanical trenching machines. I would presume trenching in rock is sometimes required near-shore.

In my experience, "little software shops" are about maintaining "living fossile" systems. They survive by signing contracts with non-tech companies (supermarkets, healthcare, etc.) to develop a system and offer support, but never update it. There is no need to update or improve anything since there is no competition. The customer would have to sign a contract with another software shop, and non-tech companies are highly risk-averse, as long as it gets the job done they keep paying.

It gets frustrating most of the times since you'll be working with old and unsupported tools, and you cannot update them. I am talking Postgres 8, AngularJS, ASP.NET, etc.
Or Netflix could BUY Redbox, and treat them as instant-rental or "free rental/return with subscription".

That would be the best of all worlds. Just scan the Redbox with your Netflix app, look at the top 1000 discs in there. And just get it.

(Again this would be better than what pirates can offer. Cheap AND easy AND good.)

Why "the"? What is so special about this herbal beverage in French, or the adjective meaning hot in Irish?

I suspect you are applying just a variation of the same every-name-must-follow-my-arbitrary-rules game. You're trying to correct the assumption that everybody has of a first name and a surname with the equally wrong assumption that everybody understands an English word.
Wait, so they knew _in advance_ that they weren't going to use the result? Before they even started the competition? Or is this ret-conning once they decided not to use it. I feel like I can't really trust Reed's word on it, since he has a very strong incentive to paint himself as a mastermind.
I went to a tax preparer once in my life. All she did was read the questions from the "Turbo Tax for Professional Tax Preparers" software on her computer. Whenever there was a subject that I wasn't clear about, her "help" was to simply tell me option A and option B and ask me what I wanted to do.

Privately held companies have shareholders, too, and some of the inter-shareholder drama at a small company can impact your day-to-day life as an engineer more than at a BigCorp.
100%. I totally agree. I've both been the person and the team here. And it suucks when you see how things could be done better.
It depends on whether you consider software development a rote activity or a creative endeavour.

The transactional approach certainly makes sense from a rote activity stand-point. Money, however, is a remarkably poor motivator for most people when they are required to pour their creative juices into a task. A sense of ownership, a higher cause, or a sense of accomplishment are much stronger drivers.

I think the problem stems from management lumping both types of work into a common bucket. That's when what you describe starts to occur.
I thought usually heat like this is regarded as "pollution" and will ruin environment somehow. I've heard something like that about nuclear plant. Although maybe it's a case by case basis
They're treating you like an idiot who can't count, and so the proper response is given them the middle finger by moving on. You owe them nothing.

I'd suggest that people stop using fairytales about monkeys to justify personal choices or cultural norms.

We're complicated, there are a lot of reasons we do what we do, and there may be some broad patterns in human society and history that we can correlate to our evolutionary history.

Playing on that theme some more, exclamation points seem like a fake signal of importance. As in, I didn't bother to take the time to make my message interesting or useful, so I'll add this punctuation at the end to try to trick you into believing it is worthy of your time. But of course you didn't trick them, they just now start to dismiss you.

Also, I could see similarities between exclamation use and swearing. Some people swear all the time, so it means essentially nothing. "I like fucking butter on my toast." So they don't have that option to escalate their language in the future. Whereas a person whose previous last use of the f-word was 20 years when they lost their leg in a traffic accident, now says "We need to get this fucking situation sorted out by Friday" gets some extra gravitas.
It would have been more honest to add (in Rust) to the title.

I'm not sure that's accurate. Recent pixel devices are using linux 5.1x (2021) and google is apparently thinking of upgrading them to 6.1 (2022). I'm pretty sure Apple is using a kernel that's at most 2-3 years old since that's when apple silicon was released.

At this point hurd only supports hardware that doesn't really exist outside of VMs and very old computers that haven't been sold in the last decade or so.
The transition from not needing a license (mailing discs) to renting content to owning it was intrinsic in their business plan all along.

They saw that streaming was the future but that mailing discs would let them build a big brand early on, but they took the disc market very seriously and optimized it.

Once you're streaming the cost structure is like this: Fox or Disney or someone like that will charge them $X /month/sub but it costs $Y to create a piece of content, independent of how many subscribers you have. There is a crossover point where you have enough subscribers that it makes sense to own.
The "trick" here (sadly common in this debate) is the paper assumes you're never allowed to overbuild the solar/wind generation capacity. You can only time-shift, even when oversupply would actually be cheaper.

The most economical solution uses a mix of both, but they quietly discard the best approach to reach the (preordained?) conclusion that batteries are "ruinously expensive." Bad form.

To stabilize the grid you don't buy batteries that cycle just once per year. There's a better way.

Renaissance Periodization just did a video on calorie cycling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwZfryrVddY (the video is titled carb cycling, which he dismissed in the first few minutes and he moves on to calorie cycling) and in it he discusses some of the benefits and disadvantages of calorie cycling vs just eating at a deficit.

The tl;dr is follow your body (e.g. not sleeping well, exhausted all the time, eat more for a bit), but try starting out around 2:1 for eating a fair bit under vs slightly above maintenance. (e.g. diet 6 days, eat a bit extra for 3 days, repeat).

In another video he also mentions that after weight loss, that it is a good idea to slowly increase calories until the scale doesn't move, and then eat at that level for a few weeks to reset the body's hunger signaling. (I am dramatically simplifying there).

> The human body always adapts and if I were a gambling man, I'd say this is largely why most people fail at dieting: after a month or two the results stop and they have to further decrease their intake which interferes with other pathways and tanks motivation.

This is why "cheat days" or even "cheat weeks" work. People are on a strict diet, weight loss stalls, they go on vacation and eat at a surplus for a bit, and then they find that after vacation they are able to resume losing weight.

Likewise a big thing in Keto awhile back (not sure now) was cycling off Keto for the weekend, which unless a person is very careful, ends up with people eating at least a little bit to "excess".

Plenty of people do "lazy keto" and eat a big Sunday family meal and so long as the excess calories on Sunday don't exceed the sum total of deficits from the other 6 days, they'll be A-OK, and now it turns out they may actually be better off.
I'd challenge you to enter a school. I volunteer and run two clubs and they very much are talking about these things.
Total conclusion from all of them would be a high bar, given that such a large section of society had become convinced that they do not work for reasons far removed from any facts.

My comment it's not going to help you by any means but it reminded me of how I was incentivised to learn Python on my own as a student more than 20 years ago because I had found Matlab and the whole process of trying to make Matlab work on my then home computer so, so dreadful (I had to use Matlab for some school-related projects, switching to Python during my free time made me saner). If the same thing is now happening to Python then the academia-related enshittification that you mention is indeed real.
CPAs aren't cheap, and most people's tax situations really aren't that complicated. Even for high earners with lots of investments, it mostly comes down to collecting a bunch of forms and either doing manual data entry or sending the forms to the CPA to do a bunch of data entry. It's not particularly clear that the CPA's work will be more accurate.

In a situation where there's some complex tax issue, absolutely, go with the professional, but for most people, the CPA is mainly there to provide peace of mind.

Also, if you make a good faith effort to pay your taxes correctly, the potential legal trouble for getting it wrong is pretty minimal. You'll need to pay the correct amount plus interest and penalties, but "interest and penalties" are pretty light (effectively 14% simple interest on the amount of the underpayment). And since the IRS doesn't usually take more than a couple of months to say, "hey, you screwed up," interest and penalties usually add up to like 3% of your underpayment.
It depends where you’re putting the waste heat. If it’s a small river or pond then it’ll heat the pond and meaningfully change the ecosystem. If you drop it into the ocean then nothing really happens because the ocean is pretty big. And a zero carbon source like nuclear will net reduce the temperature of the ocean if it replaces something like coal.
> 1. Extremely high duty cycle 100 gigawatt laser. (edit: now apparently it's an "array" because someone with a brain mentioned that a 100 gigawatt laser is ludicrous) That's right 7 peak summer output Grand Coulee Dams and 12 Palo Verde nuclear power plants with all reactors operating simultaneously COMBINED would be needed to power this laser.

That's not how this stuff works. You would use some sort of large capacitor/battery bank which is charged by a much smaller power draw over a long time, and then dump the energy over a short time.

The laser array currently operating at the National Ignition Facility has a peak output of 500 TW, more than three orders of magnitude higher than the number you called ludicrous. Obviously Starshot would be applying that power for a much longer time interval, and indeed would be a global undertaking dwarfing NIF. But it doesn't need 100GW of dedicated power plants.
This makes financial instruments derived from Bitcoin, the ETFs, valid. None can say Bitcoin is a fraud and be taken seriously when it is possible to buy Bitcoin ETFs using Fidelity and by Fidelity. I'm sure the group think at HN will be very much against this decision for many reasons, but the truth is Bitcoin is here to stay and is more and more accepted. Next step sovereign funds buying BTC as they buy USD or Gold. The future is here!
Sure but such a thing could easily be taken as an aggressive action or attack and traced back to us. I mean, if there is a technological civilization there, that is.

I love Breakthrough Starshot but this is an interesting risk to think about.
does anybody here know a lot about recommendation algorithms? The one I'm interested in seems obvious to me, but it's never implemented so maybe it doesn't work, or it serves outliers and not the mainstream so why bother. The data is there, but I don't get to mine it. (heheh "mine" it)

I don't want to know what's popular, I want to know what other people who share my past tastes are watching currently. Doesn't matter the size of my niche, why can't i find my niche, and be shown my cohort?

I just don't feel it's an impossible task to find, for example, a set of people who enjoyed Deadpool 1, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, but think the entire rest of the superhero cavalcade is utter garbage. ok, I'll allow Kickass also, and a grudging nod to Iron Man 1. (as an illustration, I just searched to look up the name of Iron Man, I could only remember Tony Stark. Top search results were "a fictional character", "played by R Downey Jr", "Marvel cinematic universe"... You see, none of those is Iron Man 1. I don't care about the horde of people who care about a supposed cinematic universe. We (in my cohort) liked the first one, and what we liked about it wasn't continued in the 2nd.

How about preferences that show I like a few early films with say George Clooney, but after that, no. Julia Roberts, same. I remember when Meryl Streep was a new actress, but now she's a red flag. I'm sure my tastes aren't shared by everybody, but I'm also sure, since I can articulate reasons, there must be others who in general share them, people who are willing to watch what's new and trendy in some way, but then not beat the dead horse. Oh, Spielberg, a few winners, but overall "nope nope nope", the way he aims at sentiment is a zero for me.

I originally had this idea back in the 80's when Consumer Reports had their monthly mail-in bingo card for what current movies you liked, then they would tabulate what was popular among their readers. That type of "best of" list is entirely missing co-variance, which I think is where I live.

To my knowledge, this is the first time Valve has done anything like this. They are legendary for letting gan projects go wild.

I have a personal fear that this will be an extremely sad page in Valve's history if this is truly indicative of the future they are headed towards, unless there is some bizzare legal IP requirement involved (and yes, I know about the protection tangles required to maintain copyright!)
An issue I've found is outdoor air ventilation vs. air filtration vs. humidity management is a tricky thing to balance overall when you don't have a central HVAC system with an ERV installed, especially when you live near a busy road or have allergy issues. If you add a CO2 monitor to your air monitoring, you'll start to see where this becomes a hard thing to balance without a large ERV or other specialized ventilation systems.

On top of that, living near a highway might not show issues on your PM2.5 / PM10 monitor, but it still shows in health statistics according to studies.
Uhh... Isn't the whole thing pointless because of your last sentence?
In my experience political donations make more of an impact on politicians than social media. AIPAC is incredibly effective and it is ramping up donations to keep politicians supportive of Israel in their seats: https://readsludge.com/2024/01/02/aipac-makes-record-donatio...

AIPAC is also going to try to take out most of the members of the progressive squad, unsure if they will be effective, but they are spending $100M to do so: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/squad-primary-ba...

SO MUCH THIS.

I get that momentum is a powerful force but it is incredible how many missed opportunities there are because the blinders we put on. We talk a lot about how difficult it is to align ML models, but sometimes I feel like we are the difficult to align models. A lot of it makes me feel less human too, because part of why humans stand out is that we __can__ do long term planning and have extremely powerful inference that allows us to generalize. But I feel like we're living in this weird world where we're trying to turn humans into machines and machines into humans. That we need to be the strict letter of the law entities and machines need to be the absolute generalizers. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I feel like one day we just woke up in Goodhart's nightmare.

I've been trying to combat this a lot, including in myself. One thing I find that helps me is to explicitly write down intended goals and outcomes. That way I can constantly check my alignment fairly easily and don't lose sight or get tricked by metrics. The other thing I do, which is a bit harder is to write down assumptions. This list actively changes a lot as I learn but it's become vital in projects I work on and how I understand things. I'm a researcher and this has become my most valuable tool (I've been surprised to find some of my peers are resistant to this idea). It's an essential tool to not get deceived by metrics if you have long term goals (this is where I find the resistance. Focus is typically short term). Any other techniques people have found helpful for keeping aligned?
I think it's unlikely it will impact the surface because it's so small. It also depends on the material. Temperature on entry can be thousands of degrees and most materials would just vaporize
Wouldn't it have to have happened after the plant shutdown in order for it to coincide? If it happened prior, then it would have been clearly unrelated. If you shut down a power plant and run into power issues down the road, a connection seems likely.

I have an Xbox One X and there is no disc drive. I remember having an Xbox One before that did have a disc drive.

My Xbox One X legitimately has no disc drive.
I am skeptical about reports of people who don't seem to gain much weight despite reading a lot of food. Most of those reports are merely anecdotes, or at best observational studies, and we know that most people are terrible at accurately tracking their caloric intake. More rigorous studies that involved putting subjects into locked environments and carefully measuring their intake have consistently found that the CICO model is accurate.

However, as a practical matter for people who want to lose adipose tissue there are likely more effective approaches than CICO.
> Knowledge of leptin changes this because what you eat does actually matter. The goal should be intermittent fasting, where you eat little-to-no carbs about five consecutive days/week and then plenty of carbs two consecutive days/week. This approach ensures leptin levels in the obese body remain high enough to prevent onset of starvation mode while minimizing glucose levels to promote catabolic action on body fat [1].

I hate to post the same video in the same thread twice, but this video dives into carb cycling, and explains that actually it is calorie cycling that makes the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwZfryrVddY

FWIW, and I'm a big keto proponent, the goal should be whatever works. Keto is super effective for some people, and completely useless for others. Research has started to figure out why some people respond to keto better than others, but low carb fails really hard for a certain % of the population, works obscenely well for another % of the population, and works as well as any other dieting system for the majority of the population.

As someone for whom keto works really well (I was on keto for 5 years, training 12hrs+ a week in the gym!), I totally spent time promoting low carb to everyone, until I tried to help some people for whom it just didn't work at all.
Yup, the world has gone mad. Flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, now ai intelligence believers.
