Sun is full of it, just shove a pipe into it and pump out what we need. And no need to mess with "blue hydrogen", this will give us virtually unlimited amounts of yellow hydrogen as a byproduct.
True - at least most "737-only" low-cost airlines (Southwest, Ryanair, ...) use the older 737 models and the MAX (which Ryanair has rechristened to "737-8200" because of... reasons) interchangeably AFAIK.

It is a funny appearance (weird viewpoint) that artists are furious loosing their monopily in stealing and cloning components from other artists, recomposing into a similar but new thing.

And that OpenArt on the analogy of OpenSource is a non-existing thing (I know, I know, different things, source code is not for the generic audience and can be hidden on will, unlike art, just having some generative thoughts artefact here ;) )
Fossilized means turned to stone. Since DNA is not a crystal, I don't think crystalized DNA is in any way a thing. All the organic stuff, including the DNA, has gone and been replaced with stone in the same shape. But only the same macro shape not the same molecular structures.

I don't think airlines will do that, because having at least two (more would be of course better) competing manufacturers in the market is better for them, so they have to hope that Boeing survives even if they don't currently use their planes...
You're generally right but suburbs _can_ be walkable if they're not designed by idiots. Houten, in the Netherlands, comes to mind. Or a lot of the US streetcar suburbs which these days are generally not considered suburbs - South Park, San Diego to give one example.

Ask HN: Share Your Thoughts on Telehealth
Currently frustrated trying to get doctorondemand.com to work. I tried booking an appointment six months ago, but the app was crashing and support took days to send a reply. I think I booked an appointment today, but it doesn't show in the UI, and now I'm trying to cancel this half-scheduled appointment. Now I'm wondering if the service doesn't work.

Has anyone else had experiences with telehealth services they can share?

> one wonders if this can be pushed to power a sensor from diurnal flux

Get the backs of your envelopes ready, this sounds like a Fermi problem. From a quick reading of geomagnetic k-index data let's estimate the short time average flux change at 1 millitesla per three hours. That would give a maximum energy budget of 7e-5 watts per cubic metre (from dB²/2mu_0), so you're looking at picowatts of power for anything handheld.

(If anyone wants to refine this upper bound I'd be pleased.)

Of course smarter people than me have spent more than 30 seconds thinking about this and may have better answers, see e.g. https://physics.aps.org/articles/v9/91 and https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/65082/can-the-ea...
They've now made some level of online connection mandatory, as you need an oauth token to connect to the local interface, which you can only get online. That token does have an expiry time of a year, but still, it's a significant step back from where they were before, where you could get local access completely disconnected from the internet (and in fact, those who completely isolated it to prevent it from getting software updates still have this).

There are plenty of examples of large-scale wind projects failing due to budget overruns, here's two of the more well-known examples:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/20/giant-windf...

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/01/rsted-ca...

Large-scale solar is less susceptible to these budget problems as the technology is more mature. The problems here mostly centre around power distribution and the unpredictable nature of (PV) solar power where production can go from close to zero to maximum in the span of a few seconds only to drop down to close to zero again after a few more seconds. Roof-top solar has become so popular that the distribution networks are getting overloaded on sunny days. In e.g. the Netherlands those who have roof-top solar power installations are starting to get billed for delivering power back to the network [1,2]. These problems can be solved by installing local energy storage - 'home batteries' - but these are as it stands too expensive to be economically feasible.

I live in Sweden and have a 14.5 kW solar installation on a barn roof. When I installed this I signed a 5-year contract which enables us to sell power back to the network at market rates. I do not expect us to be able to sign a similar contract once this one runs out and will have to consider adding energy storage to the system - this is why I installed a hybrid inverter when I built the system.

Yes, definitely less fully remote roles, but the vast majority are some rendition of hybrid. Ranging from remote first to mandating several days in the office.
Genetics Programming, AI –> Eugenics and why we need open source AI more than
The new generation of AI research + genetic programming is basically leading to a scenario where the organizations in charge can lead to a new genetic world order.

Eugenics2.0 - you can engineer viruses that you are immune to or have cures for but can spread with the rest of the population.

We are seeing this with a not-to-be-named entity now destroying a not-to-be-unnamed entity with remotely. We are seeing remote battles happening where the instruments and wielders of destruction are decoupled from the destroyed via an intermediary - we have seen this in media - whenever information disintermediated with proxies you tend to resort to more polarized behaviour.

Our rate of technological progress means that the frontiers whether on the biological scale or the computing scale, will to planet scale or evolutionary scale impact rather than economic scale.

IMO, the only counterbalance is to go to open source and open governance of both AI and genetics. We don't have a free market anymore in either.
This is a nice trick using full outer join!
My question to wood_spirit still stands, though.
The recent 737 Max issue doesn't seem particularly aircraft specific. If the QA and culture have gotten that bad then it could happen to 787 just as easily.

I doubt however this will ever move the needle in terms of passenger numbers. Even for those people who are aware of the issues, a tiny minority of them would pay more to avoid a particular aircraft model.

The batteries died in my bedroom TV remote a few nights ago, it wasn't until I went to replace them did I notice that one of the batteries had leaked and seems to have caused some corrosion on the contact, so until I clean it up I've switched to my Flipper Zero as the remote for it (just need power and audio control, rest is via a Roku stick). Never thought this would be my use case for it, but it worked out perfectly.
An HackRF clone is quite a bit cheaper than a Flipper, and it's a full-blown SDR with TX capability

The value is always in the content and authors, not in the platform, so in that sense Substack or Pateron are not unique. The question is how exactly are you going to monetize this content.

IMO, no. Maybe with a sufficiently restrictive license. If your core product is good enough and you permissively license it, odds are someone else with more money is just going to repackage it and sell it without throwing any money your way.

On the other hand if your product isn't good enough then the decision doesn't matter since it won't take off either way. :)
Whilst being Microsoft platform, still the katas are great https://quantum.microsoft.com/en-us/experience/quantum-katas

If you want go deep, you will need to refresh/learn few key mathematical foundations that form the basis of QC. They are definitely not hard IMHO. If so, then read Michael Nielsen and Isaac Chuang excellent book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Computation_and_Quantu...
the UK A level maths exam does cover a dramatic range of ability - there are a fair few gimme questions and some ambitious ones towards the back of the exam. There are also specialties, of which you usually only have to pick one (iirc decision maths, mechanics, or statistics. Then if you take further maths you do the remaining ones plus some more "why" stuff with formal proofs etc)

In general, having taken maths and further maths, after moving to denmark and studying in university, I found myself a lot further ahead than my peers for years (and subsequently slacked off and had to relearn the discipline aha). I also found that I had quite an advantage at doing things in my head/with blackboard, wheras danish students wanted to go to matlab/computer immediately. I think i'm glad that I learned it this way, although I often will use matlab, I do find it has helped me catch mistakes or things that just dont feel right

In uni in denmark they do have strange oral maths exams though sometimes. That was interesting. Personally I quite liked it, although I know some of my peers absolubtely hated it, and spent days feeling nauseous at the prospect of facing a panel of professors
You can get the cost savings in a less car-centric world using delivery.

Costco has home grocery delivery too. https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/answer_view/a...

It costs more that on the shelf because you are paying for someone to do work for you. Again, how much is your time worth?

Yes, a lot of people love to pick out their own food themselves, and buy in bulk only every couple of weeks, and take it home in their own vehicle. You are one of them, but certainly not everyone is like you. I am not.

The idea of a less car-centric world is to give more options that don't require a car, not to prevent you from using a car.

If the savings in going to Costco is big enough to justify having a car, then one alternative option is to join a car sharing group. Every two weeks, book a vehicle for your Costco run. In effect you're only paying for a day's worth of car ownership rather than 14 days, where most of time the car does nothing.
if combustion removes 99% of the methane's global warming potential, what would count as 'actually good' in your eyes?

Dunbar number is bullshit.
I think the issue, particularly in the case of some of the companies that have been hostile to Home Assistant integrations, is that, according to them, the small number of users with reverse engineered access to their cloud, tend to abuse the API by creating a significant percentage of the traffic, presumably by accessing it "incorrectly".

I agree with you wholeheartedly that it should be fair game, but ultimately, if reverse engineered users are creating, say, 50% of traffic[0], because they're polling instead of using the proper push mechanism, these sorts of companies can and will get upset.

Frankly, as a backend software engineer myself, if any system I built with the purpose of being constantly accessed by a fleet of devices sold on the open market couldn't handle the relatively tiny numbers MyQ created a fuss[1] over, I'd be embarrassed.

Most golang backends I've seen meanwhile use or switched to using the "gin" framework to build their APIs.

A lot of them also have conventions for the frontend, where the assets usually are stored in /public, so they can be go:embed later as an embed.FS instance into the binary.

Having said that, there's plenty of examples on github. I'd recommend to take a look at bigger projects or templates and understand how they structured their packages and abstraction levels. E.g. go-admin comes to mind [1]

There is no commercial open source model. What happens is that you might get open source software here and there that will be so specialized as to require insane resources to adapt and modify.
At least a solid team.

When was the last time you have submitted a patch to say PowerShell?

Democratic process does not exist when everyone is free to start a project. Users also often do not know what they want either until it's shown to them. Surprisingly also true when it's a tool made for other developers.

What you seem to be suggesting is to replace open source model with grant academia model if I'm being generous, and that would kill it.
If I were less generous, you're suggesting to have say Microsoft tell OpenSSL devs what they want of them and do it.
And they also shine much brighter.
Most anarchists were indeed social distancing, masking etc. so I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe you are mistaking somehow anarcho-capitalism for anarchism, even though it's not anarchism?
Where the "home config" in this case can be much more than just text files and, for example, can include the actual apps installed locally. So when you define your `.git/config` file, you can include `diff.external = ${pkgs.difft}` to refer to a locally installed version of app `difft` and home-manager does the right thing. You can also manage your user services through systemd or launchd.
This is a garbage essay, and to be honest, I find both Graeber's and Harrari's assessments of ancient history to be garbage.

Actual ancient historians will look at sites, and based on the evidence found, come up with plausible theories to explain what transpired. These theories are based partly on the evidence, and partly on what we know about other events and sites from around the same timeframe.

Graeber, Harrari, and others take these theories, inject their personal biases, and present them as facts. For example:

> What this new evidence shows is that a surprising number of the world’s earliest cities were organized along robustly egalitarian lines. In some regions, we now know, urban populations governed themselves for centuries without any indication of the temples and palaces that would later emerge; in others, temples and palaces never emerged at all, and there is simply no evidence of a class of administrators or any other sort of ruling stratum.

Notice how he took a lack of evidence of temples and palaces, and proceeded to say that the cities were egalitarian. Based on what? What if those societies had temples structured differently than what you would expect, or if their temples were destroyed by outside invaders? And beyond that, there is an implied claim that you either have temples, or you are egalitarian, with no mix in between.

This level of non-scholarship reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes bit where Calvin claimed that "bats are bugs" and proceeded to write up an entire school essay on the topic.
True for individual flights but not on the mass scale. For the masses this will still be useful. And a hit to MAX 8 and other Boeing 737 models in the short and medium run. The aversion will die out eventually for those who can weather the storm (and make some more money by those having other type of planes).

I find the AI training topic interesting, because it's really data/information that is involved. Forget about the fact that it's images or stories or Reddit posts, it's all data.

We are born and then exposed to the torrent of data from the world around us, mostly fed to us by other humans, this is what models are trying to tap.

Unfortunately our learning process is completely organic and takes decades and decades and decades; there's no way to put a model through this easily.

Perhaps we need to seed the web with AI agents who converse and learn as much like regular human beings as possible and assemble the dataset that way. Although having an agent browse and find an image to learn to draw from is still gonna make people reee even if that's exactly what a young and aspiring human artist would be doing.

Don't talk about humans being sacred; we already voted to let corporations be people, for the 1% to exist and "lobby", breaking our democracy so that they can get tax breaks and make corrupt under the table deals. None of us stopped that from happening...

Your observation about the root of the word might be accurate, but (in my personal view unfortunately) is not relevant. "Plagiarism" is now used to describe previously published (and in some cases unpublished!) work that is being "recycled", regardless of author, without explicitly noting it to be such.

I'm not defending the usage, I'm simply explaining how the term is now used. Language mutates, origins are lost, and usage evolves.

You may choose to quote dictionary definitions, but dictionaries document usage, and of necessity can never be fully up-to-date with more recent changes. This is especially true when the terms are being interpreted within a specific context. In many academic environments "self-plagiarism" is an adaptation of the original concept to indicate that students cannot repeatedly submit the same work over and over again. They will say something like "Work for this accreditation must be new and original" and then use the term "self-plagiarism" to describe when that stipulation is breached.

As I say, language evolves. People even say "The proof is in the pudding" and "I could care less". These are idioms that convey meaning as an entirety and are not to be interpreted according to the meaning of the words therein.

Similarly, now in some contexts "self-plagiarism" is a term used to describe recycling one's own work. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not.

Love it, like it, or loathe it, the term exists and describes "A Thing(tm)".
