This was posted before. Not really 3d printing. It's more of a quick casted mold maker, since it just uses a conventional CNC machine to "draw" the shape in sand and then it pours molten metal in the sand mold.

A clever enough idea, but the results are mixed. It's limited to fairly simple 2d shapes and the quality of the "prints" are quite poor and require a lot more post processing than true 3d metal printers.

HN deserves to be at or near the top of search results because the quality of discourse is so high here, and on a very wide range of topics.

I have noticed an increase in errors here in the past few months though, I wonder if this is the cause.

To be frank, someone could also make the argument immigration is good for inflation and productivity since it grows the population and provides a more competitive labor market. This is in addition to what is mentioned in the article like higher rates of contributing to the economy in various ways.

The social safety net should also improve as the population grows though, and that would include job assistance for those already here. The benefits of immigration far outweigh the costs, but if you only focus on the costs, you ignore the benefits.
Exactly, carriers have no way to know if a SMS comes from Twilio's legitimate or less legitimate clients, so they have to block everything. SMS is no longer the cash cow it used to be so tehy can't afford to spend lots of money on individual message moderation and have to adopt more crude blocking measures.

They should also add crypto to the list.

Cool. So if I take custody of a frozen embryo, I could potentially sue for part of the parents' estate? No need to ever defrost or implant it.

Free deduction for a dependent. Pile up those frozen embryos and send your taxes to zero!

Maybe we can figure out some way to attach copyright to a frozen embryo. The rights will last forever.

Would an embryo have to register for the draft (if we had that) when it was "old" enough? Can it collect welfare?
>The MCU was the height of films because it managed to wrangle more than half-a-century of comic book lore (much of it previously deemed unfilmable) into a coherent and compelling multi-film epic that was both entertaining and (lightly) philosphical and political.

That's more of a parlor trick than art. "See how much simplistic comic book storytelling randomness I can fit in 30+ movies, and even live room for 70% of it be explosions and fight scenes".

>it was an unprecedented undertaking involving the hard work of tens (hundreds?) of thousands of talented artists and technicians across the globe

"Talented" is begging the question.

IMNSHO, not only is the writing, acting, and directing mediocre by-the-numbers blockbuster crap, but even what they supposedly do best (the special effects and fights and such) are shodilly made.

There are movies made from comics that are worth a damn cinematically (Logan, Sin City, Watchmen, Constantine) but 99% of MCU is not in that set.
Rails is practically unusable for anything that requires concurrency inside of serving one request. If you have all your data in the database that your rails app connects to everything is great. If you need to call out over the network to 12 different services to serve your request or want to do computationally intensive things, etc, another language with support for concurrency is a better choice imho.

> It's worth noting that the classical greeks (including Plato) were sure it was gay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_and_Patroclus

I'm not sure this is correct; the links cited by Wikipedia come from books about Greek homosexuality. Here's the relevant quote of the Symposium[0]:

> [...] whereas Achilles, son of Thetis, they honored and sent to his place in the Isles of the Blest, because having learnt from his mother that he would die as surely as he slew Hector, but if he slew him not, would return home and end his days an aged man, he bravely chose to go and rescue his lover Patroclus, avenged him, and sought death not merely in his behalf but in haste to be joined with him whom death had taken. For this the gods so highly admired him that they gave him distinguished honor, since he set so great a value on his lover. And Aeschylu talks nonsense when he says that it was Achilles who was in love with Patroclus; for he excelled in beauty not Patroclus alone but assuredly all the other heroes, being still beardless and, moreover, much the younger, by Homer's account

The word used for love/lover here is based on ἐραστής[1], who besides "lover" also translates to "fan, adherent, admirer". The term used for "beautiful" comes from "καλός"[2], who isn't restricted to superficial beauty: "beautiful, lovely, good, quality, right, moral, virtuous, noble".

Heroes admiring virtues in others, especially in this context, isn't far-fetched of an interpretation at all (probably less inciting though). There's a similar issue with Achille's "anger": the term used actually is IIRC closer to "wrathful", and only used once or so throughout the Iliad, to describe Zeus's behavior.

Why can’t businesses just charge enough to pay their employees adequately and eliminate tipping altogether? Tipping adds unnecessary ambiguity and degrades the customer experience.

I have no problem paying higher prices, if that’s the solution to the problem, but I find the (seemingly) increasing pervasiveness of tipping across US industries annoying and feel no obligation to tip in situations where it was not traditionally expected.
Well, classics and "the best movies" is pretty much synonymous: the classics are what are considered the best movies.
You can understand my point above was more so reflecting that a watch alone won't help you lose weight, as you say, you actually need to do the work regardless of whether its too hot, too cold or too rainy.

When we say "this point in the obesity epidemics", something occurring in our society so fast that it is now an epidemic makes me think it's more environmental that internal. However, I do think there is a chunk of evidence coming out in support of other metabolic measures being at play during weight loss, but we have to be careful simply assuming we fall into this category because its too hard or we're not seeing results.

There is an overwhelming abundance of convenient food around us which is super high in calories. I have friends who have travelled to the US and they could not believe how big portion sizes were, the types of foods being serviced and (supposedly) how hard it was to find quality vegetables with food.

It's excellent that you were able to improve your health so much through just upping your step count.

There are other factors too:
* What were the types of foods you were eating?
* Did you increase your calorie intake proportionally to the additional steps? It doesn't take much

Our bodies HATE losing weight (fat) and they make it difficult for us.

I get your point, but your entire point is just built on speculation.

> As you can see from the above: Chinese and American students reacted very differently to a change (a difficult study exercise).

This is one framing. Another framing is that they have deference to authority. My hypothesis from the last post is not testable, it's just a narrative. It's not true. That was my point. You can frame history in whatever narrative makes you feel good but it's not scientific or true.

> Why different groups of people react differently to the change applied to them? It can be that they have different cultural memory about what is the outcome of a personal stand.

Your average Chinese student is more likely to have immediate family members who participated in revolutionary activity than just "being rice farmers". Whereas your average American is not very likely to have ancestors who participated in revolutionary activity (much less cowboys or adventurers). I am trying to illustrate that your initial assumption (Americans are always pushing boundaries, and the Chinese just live quiet lives) is totally inaccurate when taking into account which of the two countries has had more instability over the last two centuries. So in the "cultural memory" wouldn't Americans be the ones who are used to peaceful and stable lives?

Your point fails on another level, which is that both the rice farmer and cowboy example are stereotypes that serve to find an example without any serious analysis. It's a nice hand-wavy explanation that doesn't pass a quick smell test an also doesn't encourage the people who buy into the explanation to investigate any further.

I am saying that just because this explanation makes sense to you doesn't mean that it is correct.
And numerator/denominator fractions represent 1d numbers via 2d vectors...
Another narrative that’s missing is ‘Discretionary government intervention can be good for the market actually’, and if the Chinese administration is making big bets on an emerging high value market (batteries and EVs), maybe the traditionally laissez-faire US should take note. That does rely on the notion that China is actively subsidizing and enabling BYD more than the US is for Tesla, and leaving aside their efforts on battery R&D, vertical integration, leveraging lower labor costs etc. as you say

I agree it makes a lot of sense, and to help with the "marketing" they could even give it a slightly distinct but easy name to indicate it's a CSV flavour. Having something repeatable verbally makes it easier in conversations. I've sent you an Earthy CSV. Oh you can use x, it supports earthy.

I was able to use the rfkill command on a Dell and a Thinkpad with the hardware switch turned off. However I don't know how that was implemented internally, maybe the switch was not connected directly to the mini-pcie slot. I don't have these laptops anymore so I can't check it.

I made the video on the webcams, these are quite modern ones. Nearly all of them have special UVC commands that allow reading and writing the internal CPUs memory (a lot are 8051 based). You can find the register that controls the led GPIO and control it freely. Only on one of them I did not find a way to modify the led behavior without modifying the firmware to add an extra command.
Contrary view. Your success running a lifestyle software business is likely to be far more dependent on your marketing skills and efforts that what what tech stack you use.

There is quite a bit of different information, but when any groups cross reference each others work on differences you end up with lines like this

"There is no agreed-upon definition of the concept of intelligence neither in psychology nor in philosophy. Experts’ definitions differ widely."

Intelligence itself seems to be a bunch of different behaviors and abilities that when combined have emergent behaviors that are difficult to predict and reduce to simple systems.
You go with that cowboy.
Of course you ignore irrelevant ordering of data points. That's not the issue.

The issue, for discrete or continuous (which are mathematically approximations of each other), is that the value at a point is less important than the integral over a range. That's why standard deviation is useful. The argmax is a convenient average over a weightable range of values. The larger your range, the greater the likelihood that the "truth" is in that range.

If you only need to be correct up to 1% tolerance, the likelihood of a range of values that have $SAMPLING_PRECISION tolerance is not importance. Only the argmax is, to give you a center of the range.
That's a very postmodern take.
What's worrying here also is Google's willingness to use a random comment as the source for its snippets.

I understand that the average HN commenter puts more effort into their comments, and their veracity, than the average internet user elsewhere, but still.

I used to work as an illustrator. Most images appeared to me as somewhere between fuzzy or clear image concepts, unaccompanied by any words. I then have to take these concepts and translate them using principles of design, color, composition, abstraction etc., such that they’re coherent and understandable to others.

Most illustration briefs are also not wrote descriptions of images because people are remarkably bad at describing what they want in an image, beyond in the most general sense of its subject. This is why you see DALLE doing all kinds of prompt elaboration on user inputs to generate “good” images. Typically, the illustrator is given the work to be illustrated (e.g. an editorial), distills key concepts from the work and translates these into various visual analogues, such as archetypes, metaphors and themes. Depending on the subject, one may have to include reference images or other work in a particular style, if the client has something specific in mind.

Why? It serves no purpose, if it wasn't them, it would be New NSO Group instead. So long as these vulnerabilities exist, they're going to be exploited. Every time they find an exploit it's a moment of pure genius. With every new baseband and every new OS update there's a good chance that they find they have no answer. I don't blame the hackers in the slightest. It's also not useful to blame governments.

More useful to blame the systemic issues that allow these things to take place: the one that pops to the front of my mind is that the FCC has such a high degree of standards with modems that it results in a severe lack of competition. Google and Apple choose to release phones without contractually demanding full source access to the entirety of it so that it can be audited by their security teams. Those are things that can and should change.

It is unpredictable whether the long term exposure to minute quantities of mercury leached from your fillings will cause harm or not.

The safer choice is to replace all the amalgam fillings with composite fillings, unless you cannot afford that (but composite fillings are much cheaper than ceramic facets or crowns, which may be better choices when possible).

Anecdotally, I have replaced all my amalgam fillings more than 15 years ago and I have felt much better after that, because with the amalgam I had always felt an unpleasant metallic taste, while ceramic and composite resins do not have any taste.

Silicon Valley is just going back to its roots as the article mentions:

> Tech’s military ties predate Silicon Valley, which began in the late 1950s when funding from defense and intelligence agencies transformed a stretch of fruit orchards into production grounds for mainframes and microprocessors.
