“Doing fine” when measured against what criteria?

As an end user, most social media platforms are not doing fine, and have been overrun with abusive behavior and suffer from some form of Enshittefication.

These companies doing fine financially (is Twitter? I don’t think so?) should not be conflated with the end user experience and health of the communities, which in many cases have degraded so thoroughly that they no longer serve their original purpose.
Yes! There are quite a few fakes (both coins and currency) floating out there. Some of the best fakes are gold coins that - and you might find this surprising - are actually made out of gold. The reason is that at various times through mid/late 1900s, many countries forbade the export of gold while the US allowed for imports of our own coinage. So a crafty smuggler who wants to get their gold out of, say, the middle east and into the US would have the gold minted into fake US coins so as to bypass the export/import restrictions. Real gold, fake coins. Kinda wild.

Anyway, coin and paper money nerds are quite good at identifying fakes - there are specific die marks, casting marks, etc. that allow a trained eye to identify a counterfeit pretty easily. This is combatted with a combination of experience and the 3rd-party certification companies which encapsulate coins and paper money along with a genuine guarantee (and they will pay you for the item if it's discovered to be counterfeit at any time).

It's an issue for some types of coins more than others, but with experience it's usually possible to identify counterfeits.

This could be a good argument, but we are specifically talking about flying private aircraft which is public info (and for good reason).

I know it wouldn’t quite work because people would notice it’s Taylor Swift or Elon Musk or whomever but she could fly on a commercial plane like I do and that wouldn’t be tracked publicly.

Unfortunately being an interesting person means people are interested in everything you do. It comes with being famous. Maybe she could stop being on commercials or posting on social media or something to help reduce her popularity since it’s a problem?
Understanding something often means asking basic questions. This forum has many folks who value questioning like a skeptic, something like a Socratic dialog. Kind of unfair to call people deluded just because you and many others have reached a conclusion long ago.
I think a lot of startups are working on exactly what you are describing, and honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath. Everyone is still bound by token limits and the two best approaches for getting around them are RAG and Knowledge-Graphs, both of which could get you close to what you describe but not close enough to be useful (IMO).
Like power an entire planet for centuries, or use it as the energy budget for a megastructure project like a Dyson swarm.

We're talking about a truly incomprehensible amount of energy, not just to carry the rocket and its own fuel, but the tens of thousands of kg of water and food for even a modest compliment of people.

Toyota is seeing record profits because Toyota is heads and shoulders better quality than all non-Japanese brands, and their competitors have tried to cozy up to their price point, driving more sales to Toyota.

Personally, I don't think the added cost of hybrids make sense right now unless you are driving an extreme amount of miles per year. The supply chain crunch has added a hefty premium to the hybrids that's just not worth it for most people. The Corolla/Corolla Hybrid is the one scenario where it makes sense to get the hybrid, but they're un-obtanium.
Lots of people rent or live in apartments or condos where they can't access nor install chargers.
I have found this to be the case with my Apple card - so once a month I export a .QFX from the Wallet app and import it into YNAB. This process is a bit laborious but I've never had to manually enter an account's transactions in several years of using the app.

No, nor do I use cli flags or config files. I put everything in a secret manager. In the end I think it has a better DX if the app can use the devs local credentials to transparently interact with that secret manager. It creates an audit log and discourages people from wanting to commit secrets in an `.env.sample` or something like that.
I didn't follow the whole session (only saw the memes about it on TikTok), but in the recent congressional hearing, was the TikTok CEO grilled on misinformation on his platform? I see tonnes of astroturfed content on TikTok, significantly more than other platforms. Russia bots, flat earthers, moon-landing deniers, 9/11 truthers -- obvious misinformation. I've reported these before under misinformation but the report is usually rejected. Does TikTok turn a blind eye to these things, or is it the nature of the algorithm that I'm exposed to more content outside my "bubble"?
It's incredible to see Apple contributing here. Excited to see what they bring to their platforms.
> The next big phase is Type Checking. This is a group of zealous academics (and their groupies and/or grad students) who believe that they can write programs that are smart enough to figure out what your program is trying to do, and tell you when you're wrong.

The type-checker tells you when you contradict yourself.

> A good friend of mine with a Ph.D. in languages told me recently that it's "very painful" to experience the realization that all those years of slaving over beautiful mathematical purity have more or less zero bearing on the real world.

> Well, someday they will realize that strict determinism has always, always failed, in every dimensionality-cursed domain to which it's ever been applied, and it's always replaced by probablistic methods.

Well this is just horseshit. I can't believe someone would write this in an article about writing compilers. If you're a webapp developer, you can get away with slinging JS over the wall to fill your customers' browser consoles with red text. They probably won't even look there! But compilers preserve semantics. They don't "approximately" preserve semantics.
Just out of curiosity, why are so many people on HN who are against crypto-based payment systems and decentralized networks (always using shibboleths like “scam” and “ponzi”) at the same time so totally for the equally “ponzi” model of advertisers supporting free sites via giant centralized brokers? Most advertisers quickly find out that the ad money is wasted and only the slickest and most misleading campaigns win, same as the meme tokens. Clicks and visits can be astroturfed same as fake volume of crypto.

But what makes the ad supported model far worse than crypto is the dystopian centralized control, system of incentives and Surveillance Capitalism that always grows up around it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism
> The Texas situation was low costs leading to low prices.

Yes, see the sibling comment: it was low (marginal) cost leading to low price, leading to insufficient investment in anything else that would have been more reliable, leading to crash.

That's because you don't pay for available power, you pay for energy and then there exist situations where the market equilibrium is blackout. Oops, too bad.

Are articles intentionally avoiding Betteridge's Law now by not phrasing their titles in the form of a question?
In the 1800s it was widely believed that humans could not cause animals to become extinct. As the thinking went, God created the world, and man is less than God, so to believe that man could destroy God's creation was heresy.

Oops! That sure was wrong, huh? But the same underlying beliefs persist to this day, with resolve tempered by the knowledge that actually doing something about the current situation would require a meagre amount of discomfort, and is thus unimaginable to the relatively wealthy people you'll find here.
Worse, it has deleterious effects on the spacetime inside the bubble too. The leading edge of the bubble has exactly the same curvature as a white hole, and the back edge is exactly like a black hole. The result is a beam of Hawking radiation between them. Expect temperatures on the order of 10³⁵K if you manage to stabilize the bubble, but note that this amount of radiation is much more than enough on its own to destabilize it. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive#Survivability...>

So not only do you need “exotic” matter with negative mass to bend spacetime into a warp bubble, the bubble itself creates so much radiation that spacetime is flattened back out again.
This is true, it's why I suggest using a large asteroid for just that reason. Either way though, I promise you that altering a human's vestibular system to accommodate spin is a MUCH easier problem to solve than generating gigatons of antimatter fuel.

Honda's hybrid system is a bit closer to that, but in practice it's not as reliable or efficient as Toyota's - they haven't been iterating on it for as long.

> Honda’s two-motor hybrid system can operate as either a series or parallel hybrid. The majority of the time, the system operates as a series hybrid. Its electric propulsion motor drives the wheels directly, while the gasoline engine connected to the electric generator/starter motor functions as an electrical generator, supplying power to the hybrid battery and/or the propulsion motor. Under certain driving conditions, such as steady-state cruising at highway speeds, the system switches seamlessly to parallel hybrid operation, with the gasoline engine connecting to the front axle via a clutch, and vehicle speed is proportional to engine speed (rpm).

4chan daily challenge sparked deluge of explicit AI Taylor Swift images
I liked it a lot, especially the UI.

I disagree with any suggestion that makes the game easier. There are a lot of websites with name-that-country games. For people who are pretty good at locating and naming countries, they want to improve their ability, and they need a tougher game to do that.

It would be fun if there were some country factoids or images, probably. But for people who are trying to get really good at locating countries, they probably already do know facts about various countries, so there isn't a lot of value there.

Spaced repetition of mistakes would be valuable. Very few alternatives offer this.

Maybe you could also offer to filter on a population cutoff? I frequently cut off countries with less than 200k population, because I am not that interested in the various island countries.

Here is my very half-assed version I built once upon a time: https://github.com/ruggeri/world-map-game. Yours is a lot better.
That was rookie level mistakes though. Not checking a *case* exists? Building a small pipeline of generation->validation isn't trivial, but it isn't impossible. The cases you describe seem to me like very lazy associates matched with a very poor understanding of what LLMs do.
That's a really good idea I have never heard! I think this would help to focus a lot of young people if you encourage them to do it.

Maybe I'm the outlier (mostly newer cars?) but I've never had to do more than take cars in for regular maintenance at service intervals. Most of the costs were for wear items like tires, brakes, wipers, cabin air filters etc. or for suspension things alignment. None of that is any different between ICE and electric cars.

I don't think I've ever had an actual drive-train issue.
The earth might be warming naturally but the accelerated pace of warming is absolutely due to our interventions to the biome. What do you mean by accommodate? The Earth will keep spinning no matter what, but a lot of ecological systems will certainly be destroyed and large parts of the world will become uninhabitable.
It's Apple though. They can get away with most things, feels like. If Apple released Google Glass in the exact same state Google did, things would've been different. I realize people will disagree with that, but I truly think it's not just about the cold, hard product.
It depends on the laptop. My 10 years old HP ZBook 15 is still about 400 Euro on Ebay [1] My laptop has 32 GB and a 2 TB SSD, so it should be a little more than the most expensive one. The cheapest one with no missing parts is 240 Euro, maybe too much to buy as a backup to cannibalize if something big fails. The very cheapest ones are from the USA but I would probably have to go pick them at customs somewhere unless eBay deals with that. No thanks.

LearnDMARC now supports multiple DKIM signatures
The latest update to everyone's favorite DMARC learning and testing tool brings an exciting enhancement: the support for multiple DKIM signatures. Now, users can view all DKIM signatures along with their respective algorithms and authentication results, enhancing the tool's comprehensiveness and utility.

Have fun: learnDMARC.com

Please feel free to share it. Hopefully, this will increase DMARC adoption and make the internet more secure.
Nobody is on those except very online people. You might as well be saying that there's a lot of information about it on IRC and Gopher.
This mirrors my experience with Framework tbh. I love the hardware but they've let us down at pretty much every stage when it came to customer service.

First laptop clearly had no QC and instead of offering to swap it, the expectation was we would do some pretty tricky repairs to a brand new laptop. We sent that one back but the return just sat there for weeks without being processed before a post on the forums got it moving.

The other laptop refused to boot after eighteen months (still under the two year EU warranty) but involved about twenty back and forward emails to support - half of which ignored diagnoses we had already done and provided the results for.

I love the hardware but I just don't think I can recommend people buy one at the moment, which is a real shame.
I’m sorry, but if you’re forced to stay at a place until you pay off your debt, how is that “not a debt prison”? You can call it “restitution center”, but… c’mon. They’re not being sent there because of their other crimes, but specifically because they need to pay off their debt. I’m not saying they’re going into a supermax or something, but their freedom is actively being restricted, because they have not paid their debt.
I had the same thought - really cool that they calibrated it against modern measurements and were then able to find known historic anomalies in the data. On the other hand, it would be nice to get one or two stories where things are going better than expected, wouldn't it? Of course, then the deniers will just use them as evidence that everything is going to be OK, so we don't need to do anything.
Call me old fashioned, but I don't think law abiding citizens should bear the burden of those who break the law.

If people outside those prison walls are forced to get a job, then the people inside those walls should be no exception.

A plugin hybrid can have a smaller range battery (as long as the range meets your daily driving needs). Ideally it would give you at least 60 - 80 mile per day range, not the 20 something miles that a lot of them provide.

A full electric on the other hand, needs a very huge battery as it need to give you about 300 mile range, to cover the edge cases. That is a lot of battery weight (and expense) you are carrying around. So the tradeoff is do you want to lug around a huge battery that you will mostly not use, or lug around a gas engine that you will mostly not use? About an equal tradeoff (esp. since the gas engine only needs to be enough HP to maintain cruising speed, acceleration can be handled by the battery, or have it set up as a serial hybrid).

Personally I'd rather have the gas engine as my range extender, instead of the larger battery, since I can quickly fuel up in about 3 minutes vs. 20 - 30 at a minimum. But once battery tech improves and recharge times are in the 10 minute range, I'd say that would be the end of gas engines.
I'm exercising skepticism to be skeptical of the people who exercise skepticism over this topic given the preponderance of evidence. If one were being skeptical, one might wonder if skepticism over climate change was irrational and emotional rather than rooted in the pursuit of truth.

> UIs for the general audience? TUIs! TUIs are easily to parse, succinct in organization and fast input - all for humans. Humans can parse TUIs. And they can make up a mental modal.

TUIs have the same drawbacks as GUIs and then some. Their big advantage is to work seamlessly over SSH but that’s pretty much it. They are not more discoverable and they are not more efficient than GUIs. There is nothing preventing you from having a decent GUI along the same lines as Midnight Commander to have a file manager without the metaphors you dislike, for example (as a matter of fact, there are several).

Yeah, I used to occasionally click twit links when friends shared in chats or they were included in articles. Now I just don't bother because I either see the first of multiple posts in a "thread" or nothing at all. Much like when someone posts a link to Facebook or Instagram.

You don't even need SEO chum and AI generated "content" to understand why search engines suck so badly nowadays. The discussions that used to happen on (indexable) forums, blogs, and comments have largely moved behind pay- or login-walls.

The fact that so many people resort to appending "reddit" isn't so much a testament to the quality of reddit so much as it's a result of that being one of the few large, centralized platforms that could still be indexed.
That confused me as well
Yes, indeed - if they had found cooling, it would be a massive sensation. It’s curious how climate denialists try to push this nonsense of “it would be suppressed if it didn’t follow the narrative”, but in truth if somebody could show credibly that climate change wasn’t happening or there was cooling, it would definitely be published and would be front page news for years… The reason that’s not happening isn’t some kind of crazy conspiracy, it’s because all the evidence points to, guess what, climate change is actually happening…
Part of why I purchased a Toyota Tacoma last year was b/c the tech isn't the "latest and greatest" on the market. I can expect this vehicle to drive for 500k miles (more realistically, 10 years at 250k miles before I'm ready for a change, we'll see) and I can expect for the tech to last just as long.
I have zero faith that a tesla's tech will hold up for 10 years, or have any resale value in 10 years.
I also feel confident I can fix most of the issues that will occur with this vehicle. Sure, it's still a modern car and fixing anything will require a few hours of removing other parts to get to the broken bit - but that's still easier to fix than something going bad on some of these super tech'ed up vehicles.
