Survival means not being destroyed by the coldness of the lunar night, something like -130 C to even -250 C, for two weeks.

Many spacecraft have a radioactive heat source to heat themselves through the cold stretches. It seems for this one, primarily aimed at developing landing methods, that wasn't thought to be worth it.
What about lookalikes? Should we make it illegal for a porn star to say, dress up as a famous actor or actress? That has been going on for decades.

What about drag shows where they impersonate a famous figure and do a sexually suggestive performance? How much protection should the “likeness” of ultra-wealthy superstars get?
Tell me about it, those invoices were wasted money, and I'm fairly bitter about the "oh this is a slam dunk, it'll be $2k" "oh we need $2k more for X" "and another for Y" "oh well you're looking at $100k".
Genius indeed, found it in comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39175873
If I am understanding what is happening is that the sender has access to the document and via the Google Drive plugin for Slack they are effectively attaching a preview image when the share the link.

So the stance that Google is taking is probably taking is that this is equivalent to the user sharing the link also sharing a screenshot as a preview. (Something that they have permission to do)

I do agree that this may be a bit surprising but the sender has "opted-in" to this behaviour when they signed into the Google Drive plugin for Slack. But I don't find Google's perspective completely unreasonable.
Sure, but it is more relevant to describe aerodynamic properties of an aircraft. Knots can have a similar problem (look up indicated airspeed). But I guess you’re right, we should be using ground speed knots in this instance.

If you ask a pilot, ground speed only really is important for calculating ETA. Everything relevant to flying is a relative number since atmospheric density is fluid.
Tropical tree fern reanimates dead leaf fronds into root structures
Yeah, feels the same. Back in the mid 90s I'm in a third world country where not many people own PCs but I was fortunately to play with a Pentium because my father is a Math professor. I was probably among the first ones to use Windows 95 (it was a beta or some sort of pre-release version I believe, AND localized already).

As you, I have the same feeling towards computer software stores, bookstores and other small shops in my local. I used to grab whatever software they offered (my parents forbade me to play any game) and tinkered with the development tools. Many of my classmates were very into gaming (back then consoles were pretty expensive for ordinary families) and some smarter kids got into game modification using PC Tools. I never managed to give myself a solid CS education and only entered the industry a few years ago, when I finally mustered the courage to teach myself C++.

Anyway it was a great time for whoever touched by the fire. Now it's all gone. I might install DOSBOX on Rpi to give my kid a "DOS Machine" so that he could relive the history, but that's purely educational purpose.
I'm pretty sure that the exact same arguments were made when I was killing cops en masse in GTA2, but I mostly think we turned out fine.
It's going to be a typical new category release for Apple where v1 has some very obvious flaws that prevent it from mass market penetration, which quickly get cleaned up in v2.

But I'm talking more like culturally / philosophically, I don't think Steve Jobs would have marketed it this way or wanted it framed this way. To that point I'm not sure he'd have green lighted the product at all. It can be very dystopian. The silly eyes thing seems like someone along the way realized that and is trying to mitigate it poorly.
I absolutely loved playing around with that kit, I remember porting our IPTV middleware to it as a PoC a long time ago, was fun for demos :)
Apple's not quite as upmarket as Porsche. But it doesn't really matter. We've already tested iPhone vs everyone else, and Apple has been winning for well over a decade. The unit count doesn't really matter. The profit is what matters, and Apple is making 80% of the profit with 20% or less of the units.
Kubrick was even investigated by the FBI because he got the interior of the then-classified B-52 bomber almost exactly correct.
Yes yes, power shell is powerful and really good. I wanted to hate it because it seems too verbose and I don't like the mix of capitals and hashes in names. but the APIs they make available from .Net are pretty phenomenal. Extreme verbosity aside, done day I'm have to seriously learn it

Driving as a profession does not require skill.
That isn't how wages are set. It's a combination of supply, demand, and the business value of services rendered.

Trucking is a hard job which affects the supply of drivers, but this is offset by the fairly low barrier to entry to trucking.
I think you could tune things to generally settle into stable, repeatable "themes" if not deterministic input vs. final state. That way you can script parts of the story / experiences / themes / "canon-events" of a game while still allowing players' actions to have true natural effects on the world.
Yes agreed. We should be using ground speed knots here.

I replied above, but knots have a similar problem when flying (indicated air speed).
Sort of, but that the setting is in a real place that means you can assume the culture. You don't have to invent it all. If you sit someone down to eat in China the readers will automatically know they are eating a rice based meal with chopsticks (rice based would not apply to all cultures, but most people don't know China that well) and so you can just allow that backdrop without having to say what they are eating or what utensils they are using yet it is assumed. By contrast if I write a book where someone is in the city "lanorami" country "hullima" you have no idea what they would eat there unless I spend time telling you. Eating is only part of culture (an important part). In China you have an idea what the dominate religion is, how relationships are handled, and all those other details that make a culture complex (you might be wrong, but you have an idea).

Thus a writer on earth doesn't need to simplify. Just referring to a location brings in a ton of complexity that doesn't need to be mentioned at all.

If I told you that Middle Earth Hobbits are hatched from eggs do you have enough evidence to say I'm wrong? Or I could say the dwarfs don't nurse their young and thus none of them have nipples (much less boobs), again there isn't enough evidence so say I'm wrong. That such evidence doesn't exist means the culture is less complex just because we cannot make assumptions. (Note, I haven't read the books in many years, so there might be evidence that I don't remember - however the larger point remains even if this detail is wrong)
"The processor on Ingenuity is 100 times more powerful than everything JPL has sent into deep space, combined," Tzanetos said. This means that if you add up all of the computing power that has flown on NASA's big missions beyond Earth orbit, from Voyager to Juno to Cassini to the James Webb Space Telescope, the tiny chip on Ingenuity packs more than 100 times the performance.

This is what blows my mind. a 2015 smart phone has more power than everything else. proof that modern programming can be massively wasteful on resources.
The progressive loss in consumer robotics company in the West to their Chinese counter parts has been disappointing. Much like drones, I suspect this is short sighted as the underlying technology eventually have national security concerns.

Now maybe these companies are likely just mismanaged and the cost of North American engineering is too high? That said, it still seems like there is a structural problem here that very few hybrid software-hardware companies succeed.
Your reasoning is somewhat sound. History has not been so generous. Source: son of a trucker.

Also consider that minimal academic education and minimal specialized training is often sufficient to do the work. So the supply of those willing to do the work has often exceeded demand, so there's naturally downward pressure on pay.
Pathfinder too - http://tes.asu.edu/PATHFINDER/what_is_p_f.html

> Pathfinder will land during the Martian night. Just before the spacecraft impacts the surface, giant airbags will inflate to cushion the landing. After the spacecraft comes to rest on the surface, the airbags will deflate and three solar panels will unfold. These panels are arranged in a way that will allow the spacecraft to be flipped over if it should land upsidedown. The solar panels will begin providing power to the spacecraft as soon as the sun comes up that first morning on Mars.

Though, that's a different configuration for a different planet with a different budget... and a "it can bounce for a while" rather than the pinpoint accuracy that Slim was demonstrating.
CSS When / Else Rules
For the "front", I give a title like "Sonata K.545 - The turn". And then the "back" is a screenshot of a few bars (usually between 2 and 5 bars). If those bars happen to be towards the end of a line, I'll also include a screen shot of the clef (left-hand side), so I know the key!

When I am using the deck, on each card, I immediately hit the "space" key to show the back (because I am not using the deck to "memorize"). I practice the few bars on the screenshot, and then when I am bored (usually after a minute or two), I grade myself, by hitting the most relevant button (Again, Hard, Good, Easy), which gives the algorithm the info it needs to know when it should show me those bars to me again.

The deck works great on a PC, iPad or phone. Piano Practice in your pocket at all times!
It's insensitive to individual phase of audible frequencies, but the concept of phase itself is very important in audio in the form of time delays/echoes, if you are dealing with long sample lengths.

See my sibling comment explaining how translation corresponds to ramping phase shift/"fast-forwarding" each frequencies such that the shifted distance are the same across the spectrum.

The issue with all the disconnected small habitations is it's completely unstable.

Before a few centuries ago, societies mostly lived in a state of Malthusian stasis. They were at the limits of what their environment could support, with excess population dying to disease and malnutrition.

But in Middle Earth, there's plenty of room for these kernels of civilization to expand. They're not exploiting their environment fully. Population growth will go into swelling populations; there's plenty of space for people to move into to farm more. And this can happen very rapidly.
Whether or not the panels "have to come down" depends on who pays.

If the solar company has to pay, it might not bother at the end of the lease term.

This can turn into a very low price to sell the panels at that time.
Replacing poor code, with poor code that nobody really understands isn’t good either.

Imagine hiring a junior to write your code, except they’d just stop existing when they were done.

You’d need to ask a whole new junior to explain it to you later (if you were relying on AI)

At the recent startup I was at, the CEO (who was also an engineer) basically relied on chatgpt to make the whole app.

It was a complicated and fragile codebase.
The docstrings, which were also AI generated, were frequently out of date if not just wrong.

We were in the midst of rewriting it before we went bust.

Quick google has claims most people prep and pass their GED in 3 months which is already longer than the basic training recruits go through. Depending on their MOS school they go to after that you're maybe adding 30-50% training time and that's assuming they can hit the average GED time.

> Now divide the money that was lost through the number of heads. This is the theoretical ceeling

So, if we assume a $10 million loss divided by 100 heads, that means your ceiling is -$100,000 if you were to organize yourself.

Let's see: Six months to build a Facebook clone on an average developer salary plus some other business costs will put you in the red by approximately $100k, and then you'll give up when you realize that the world doesn't need another Facebook clone. So, yeah, a -$100,000 ceiling sounds just about right.

Don't quit your day job – as true as ever.
I've disabled adsense because it brings in like $0.60/wk. When I first got approved, it was like $8.00/day, but that slowly died down. Not sure why exactly. Adsense revenue isn't worth slowing down a site and angering users.

I think it might be worth it if you had a few projects all running Adsense, like 10 sites, or something. Correct me if I'm wrong?
> If you want to call yourself "engineer" then at a minimum all those standards and minimum requirements should apply, no questions asked.

I don’t call myself that so I’m all good. My general vocation is just “technologist”.

In the English speaking world "billion" only means 10^9.

See Wikipedia:

> This is now the most common sense of the word in all varieties of English; it has long been established in American English and has since become common in Britain and other English-speaking countries as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion

There is both a long- and short- scale. Neither is more correct:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

And as much as I hate it, when communicating in public what matters is the commonly used definition of the word, even if it's different that what that word meant a few years ago.
Let’s say for argument sake alone as this obviously isn’t true, say we’d reached the point that everyone was paid according to their ability, and every student received about the same education as their parents, wouldn’t the number be right around 50%? Half of kids more adept than parents, half less?

I’m just making the argument here that 50% seems like the ultimate goal. You can’t go up forever.
Just so I don't just mention the negative, I tried to start a company with another friend two more times, it didn't go well each time because of various understandable reasons on both sides. I've now joined another startup this friend has founded, which is doing very well (we're at 200 people now) and it's one of the best jobs I've had.

It's definitely not all negative, but it's like any relationship. If you don't check for compatibility from the start, and ensure that all parties are mature and willing to put in the work to make it successful, you're probably going to be disappointed.
Have you tried ToChunkA Smart TabS extension(https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tochunka-smart-tabs...)?

It organizes tabs and bookmarks by content similarity and does little more. Designed for tab hoarders in mind. :)
Consumers find it easy to justify a hardware purchase: it's tangible, and save for requiring an electrical outlet (which is ubiquitous in our society), runs anywhere. Software is, in some regards, intangible, and is constrained to certain platforms. It makes it easier to dismiss, even though it's no less work to make great software.
SLIM is a technology demonstrator for landing on slopes, with "pinpoint landing" accuracy (say, 10 meters).

Previous landings had to be made on limited large flat areas, deemed relatively safe for several kilometers around, and often the landing happened just in the rough vicinity of the target area, kilometers off the mark.
Tried this out, it doesn’t seem to work at all with a good few flags - notably —upload-file
Same. I bought a Vive a few weeks ago but it is currently in the mail being returned. The technology as it is today is just not quite there yet, in my opinion. The biggest letdown was the lack of peripheral vision. To see something clearly, I'd have to move my whole head to face it head-on directly. Doing some research, I discovered that is just the way it works right now. It will be interesting to see if the VP has an answer to this problem.
Anecdotally, I would like to mention that my partner has been sick for over a month with some kind of lung shit he got from an e-cigarette (vuse something disposable crap).
He has been literally unable to sleep through a night for over a month, multiple doctor visits, 3 courses of antibiotics, lung xray that apparently confirmed it was viral pneumonia, but yeah. I have been smoking for over 6 years and still alive, but he smoked that shit for less than a few weeks and he is barely functional.
I can't remember the last time I got a full night's sleep anymore, because I constantly have to apply muscle relaxants and ensure he has proper medication to be able to remain asleep.

So yeah, not really the point of your argument, but fuck e-cigarettes, for the rest of time I will have this stance. And yes, I am brutally aware of what cigarettes do as well, but don't knock the "theoretical" effects of e-cigarettes.
Yes, the thermodynamic properties of information are well established.

Various Hawking-Bekenstein results about black holes relate to information density, especially, shockingly, that information is proportional to surface area, not volume. This makes perfect sense because a black hole has all its incoming matter and energy sprawled, flattened and red-shifted on its horizon (to a distant observer). It can never export its internal state to the outside world, so you might never expect a volume's-worth of states to be exposed.

The idea was generalized by 't Hooft to the Holographic Principle, for 2D screens encoding the state of 3D volumes on the other side.

However, the full AdS/CFT Correspondence only applies to a certain type of AdS space, not our actual dS space. At the moment, it seems half of theoretical physics doctoral students are trying to extend AdS/CFT to dS space (obviously - strings :) and half of observational astrophysics doctoral students are desperately hoping to show we live in AdS space - LOL
I don't think anybody believes it will generally replace theaters and TV, just that it will carve out some portion of that. I think it's the same as how in some contexts, watching Netflix on your phone makes a lot of sense. You wouldn't do it on a Friday night with your family, but it isn't absurd to think some TV and movies are watched on a phone screen.
Look for the arrows on either side of C4 on the top bar.
For what it's worth I just want to let my kids run around and not get killed. Something like bloommerwede.nl would be great in the US. Cul-de-sac is getting there
That's possible, but I don't think that would be a positive development either. Code isn't flexible or self-correcting, if you make bad code it will just break by surprise. If the only way someone can code is with LLM assistance then they won't even know what went wrong when the code breaks or takes forever or doesn't handle real corner cases.

That said, I've done no LLM coding and don't have a feel for how it goes wrong.

This is the non-blogspam links that actually talks about the data. The income is inflation adjusted and has fallen to 50% which averaged over a population sounds right in an economy that isn't rapidly expanding. The graph as presented is super confusing because time is represented in the distinct lines rather than an axis on the graph.
Kangbashi is never filling up like they planned, simply because coal is no longer booming like it once was. You can only do so much when the trend you were hoping for doesn’t pan out. It’s a district designed for a few million holding up at 50k or so.

Tianjin will always have a few ghost districts and skyscrapers. They eventually fill up after a decade or two or are razed for something else. It was like that when I first visited China in 1999 as well.
It's my business insofar as I'm a member of a society which is, on the whole, becoming ever more atomized and anti-social with itself. People retreat into technology because relationships are hard, and relationships are always and will likely forever be hard. People are frightened of their neighbors, people are afraid of being bullied online, people are stressed as fuck because our society is so difficult to live in, and then aside of that, we have a whole cadre of tech companies selling market solutions to our various social ills: shit like AI girlfriends, sex bots, AI pornography, which while yes, do mitigate a level of the immediate symptoms of those ills for their users, also incentivize people to not improve the world, to not integrate into the communities they crave, to not improve themselves as to create intimacy with a chosen spouse(s), but instead to recede even further into their dens where nothing is challenging, nothing is hard, and nothing requires work, but at the same time it doesn't reward you, it doesn't help you grow. It's feeling good without the things that make feeling good a good thing. It's a pale imitation of the human experience.

I don't care if you have a sex toy, I have a whole fuckin tote bin of them. I'm not concerned about the toys. I'm concerned about the people who seem to be in a situation where they believe all they can have is toys. That depresses and worries me.

I've found HN pretty divided when it comes topics like energy/climate/electric vehicles, immigration and foreign policy.

Before I used to feel bad, now I somewhat expect to be downvoted bringing up anything that doesn't fit someone's worldview.

I lived a decade in Seattle, WA which is a strong blue/liberal state as it goes. Sometimes pretty extreme. Now I am in Florida which is now a solid red state since Trump. It's interesting to see how the thought bubbles and world views have formed.
My #1 use case for the AVP I ordered is productivity followed by consumption. If I can get my MBP as a large 4K screen in the AVP and I'm productive in it then I can do away with my 3-4 monitor setup I have at 2 locations and open up the places I can work productively to nearly anywhere.
Late Starters Club
This is basically why all my music is in the form of screen recordings of Live these days. Rendering is effort! And no one listens to it anyway. If someone actually asks for a FLAC or MP3, I'll do it, but no one has.

I never managed more than 2-3 sales per album at peak when I did albums and EPs, and even a simple release with some thrown together cover art is 10x the work for basically no return. People do watch the videos[0], and enough people pay $5+/month for it--they go to YouTube later--to make it worth doing and cover new tools.

Plot, setting, and characters all have to come together to make the story. Different readers have different preferences, and different authors have different strengths. There is no exact rule for how much of any one you need. However fail too much in any and the whole falls apart. Do very well in one and the others can fail a little more.
Also, in Python (unlike TypeScript or PHP) you need to be sure that the code regularly passes type checking to have confidence in your type annotations.

I've dealt with my share of code with types that were almost correct but not really and it's been quite frustrating.

For interested I've written an article about it: https://medium.com/@sgorawski/python-types-have-an-expectati...
