We are increasing the energy imbalance in the earth system. A large part of that energy is absorbed by oceans. And at the same time our temperature buffers like the arctic sea ice, are disappearing.

I think we're seeing the same thing that is always seen when a complex system is sufficiently perturbed. Loss of stability, chaotic behaviour, and eventual collapse.
What We Gained (and Lost) When Our Daughter Unplugged for a School Year
I built a similar service as well called Packetriot: https://packetriot.com

Building these types of tunneling systems are great projects. You learn a lot and can master skills in many different areas.

Packetriot has been operating for five years and the first few years was all spent on performance and stability of the core networking services. As the software and network matured, I spent more time on the operations and maintenance, and automating as much of that as possible.

Recently I've begun building tools to detect phishing and potential malicious behaviors. This is a common problem that operators of these tunnel networks have to deal with. It's an interesting and fun technical area and helps make the Internet a safer place :)

>The existence of Bracewell-Von Neumann probes is the one reason I don’t absolutely dismiss UFO believers out of hand

Bracewell-Von Neumann probes don't exist, as far as any can tell. You seem to be basing your credulity towards one unproven phenomenon on another unproven phenomenon. If anything, the fact that VN probes would in theory be easier than the sort of exotic physics breaking technology supposedly demonstrated by UFOs and yet the entire galaxy hasn't been consumed and assimilated as the math suggests should happen should cast even more doubt on UFOs.
Couldn’t agree more. Make your notes discoverable by search would be my number one recommendation.
I've also tried reverse engineering the algorithm recently to plot a scattergraph of story ranks vs age-adjusted score. I'm looking for outliers in order to work out where HN moderators have intervened.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q6HS4Gcw8KVp5nTRC_H0...

It turned out to be very difficult as there are so many arbitrary factors, and the HN API doesn't expose those factors.

It's good to see the OP's graphs over time, showing the large jumps which clearly indicate manual intervention. That's a much more effective approach than my own analysis.

My motivation is to surface any patterns in those interventions. Annecdotally I notice that positive news about Elon Musk and his companies has been suppressed more than once.

Obviously, the moderators are responding to things like user flags, but in my opinion there should be more transparency around this, in order to prevent users brigading certain topics, using flags inappropriately, to manipulate the narrative.
Yeah. Rollbacks or reruns are hard when dealing with external systems. Actions need to be idempotent for reruns to work.

One thing you may focus on is making workflows more durable: Checkpointing and sending to users summaries of last checkpoints when things fail.

The last thing you want a non-tech user (your target customer) is to figure out what’s the state of a failed workflow.
Native English-speaker here - I've never seen 'a11y' or whatever that is, and I find it to be opaque and incredibly stupid given context.

I mean, if they were taking the piss, I might find it amusing.
So you would rather get rid of the government, over a business that bribes officials and sells products that are only needed due to their bribes.
Not sure why I am being down voted... Outrage sells so media companies have a massive insensitive to push that narrative wether it's true or not. Not saying climate change isn't real or not an issue, just that it isn't the cause for every bad thing that happens in the world. If it is responsible then it should be backed up with science that supports it.
I've got a 29-year-old employee making $40/hr. She drives me crazy because she refuses to sacrifice things she really can't afford (like clothes, makeup, nails, travel, entertainment) that drain her income and prevent her from acquiring the important necessities (primarily a decent place to live). She also can't bring herself to work more than 30 hours per week, yet complains everything is too expensive.

I knew her favorite singer was in town, so I asked "Did you go to the concert?". Her: "Yes, but someone else paid for the tickets". Me: "So you didn't spend any money at all?" Her: "Well, I did buy a $10 hot dog."

No matter what I say, I can't get her to see she's one small disaster away from ending up destitute or homeless, and that she needs to carefully budget and plan and try to do much better with her time and money management.

Her 30-something sister with whom she shares a dump rental apartment in a bad neighborhood has a similar issue with priorities. The sister works for the school district so she doesn't have a job each summer but instead of getting a temp job to bring in more income she simply goofs around for 3 months.

I have no idea how to break through those mindsets.

It should upset, or rather irritate, anyone with a scientific mindset, because the idea of a perfect simulation is an untestable hypothesis, and an untestable hypothesis, listen carefully, isn't worth shit: and why don't you know this already? What makes you keen to promote an untestable hypothesis? The natural assumption to make is that you were bitten by the religion bug, and are seeking a way to sneak religion into cosmology through the back door.

All reasons are legitimate. But with proper action all can be addressed and diminished. They weren't in Poland. So now we are drowning in traffic and parking issues just like everybody else despite superior dwelling style.

You asked why Polish people bought cars if they didn't need them.

The answer is that they started needing them. Large shopping malls popped up on the outskirts of cities not easily accessible without a car.

Trains and other mass transit didn't really improve to meet the demand for travel from richer populace. Often it deteriorated. People were forced to substitute public offering that didn't keep up with private car ownership. Public enterprises are hard and when the government fails people invest in personal facilities to get by.

People buing cars is a sign of the community dropping the ball on the mobility needs of the people.

> It’s really hard for me to see how any theology—or any text—could be any less ambiguous than any other.

"Virtual base classes are instantiated in the order specified by the depth-first, left-to-right traversal of the directed acyclic graph of all base classes." That is a very precise, unambiguous statement if you know what virtual base classes are. (The sentence went on to define what "left to right" meant in this context.) You don't even need to know what a directed acyclic graph is in a formal way to be able to clearly, unambiguously understand what that sentence is saying.

Compare that to, I don't know, the worst sentence from your CEO's quarterly yay-us message to the company. Or the worst sentence from a politician's campaign speech, or from a political debate where they're trying to dodge the other side's point.

Yes, statements can be less ambiguous than other statements. (Even in politics - compare George Bush's "Read my lips: No new taxes" with the statements many politicians make.)
Correct. It's still very bad, but does not affect the secure enclave.
How can you know that it’s the most successful store in the absence of any competition at all? You don’t have a choice. The App Store app comes preinstalled on iPhones and iPads and you cannot choose any other store, so no wonder it’s successful. The only conclusion that you can draw from that is the iPhone and iPad owners like to buy apps.
Given that the god of the Bible is a literally an amalgamation of various ancient Sumerian gods, I don't believe that this is the win that you think it is.

And however powerful you think he is, he got his ass handed to him by Chemosh, a member of a Moabite pantheon, after the king of the Moabites sacrificed his heir in a burnt offering to his own god.

I didn't make it up. That's in the Bible.

The Christian god is what happens when you take a fictional character and keep on ascribing to him greater and greater powers because it's easier than describing his limitations. Same thing happened with Superman in the 40s and 50s, really.
I think a fundamental difference is we are able to learn new things by reasoning through our existing knowledge. Moreover our beliefs are mostly consistent with each other, and we can be argued with and have our beliefs changed.

As far as I understand, GPT isn't going to alter its whole worldview if you show it that its thinking is flawed.

But perhaps this is possible if upon discovering a flaw, it looped through its corpus and altered its connections?

Zapier has actual experienced software engineers and real budgets, would not rule out their ability to perform the same: text to IFTTT like auto-execution. Or consider your company right now, your current company is essentially a single team at Zapier, and you've got some free-way to mix research and product development. I suspect this is more an acquisition target -- small team develops larger idea in better way, Zapier says thanks and hooks it into their own stack, networks, and customers.

This actually isn't that uncommon for airports. The first example which comes to mind is London City Airport which pays for local homes to have noise insulation fitted[0]. I believe doing this has been a condition of them being granted planning approval to increase the number of flights they operate a number of times over the years.

Not Motorola (or Freescale). After the 68060 they dumped the mc68k architecture outside the embedded market (68300 line) for the 88000 RISC architecture. After 2-ish generations of 88k, they dumped it for PPC.

There are numerous FPGA implementations of various folks ideas of what a post-060 mc68k might look like. There's also a 68070 from Philips that's a 68000+simple MMU+stuff; definitely not 060 class.
Congrats on shipping! Feature request: Make it easy to expose triggers and actions from internal enterprise tools. Zapier makes this possible via an API/webhook, but it's not trivial. Many workflows and business processes rely on internal tools that aren't designed to support workflow automation. If you find a way to automate processes that use those internal tools, you may create a bigger differentiator/moat.
> You also get a housing subsidy, but only for particular housing, which isn't as close to your job or doesn't allow you to pool resources with roommates, so now you have to pay more for transportation or most of the subsidy gets eaten by higher rents etc.

Yeah the subsidies also will not cover the entire cost of housing. So you probably have to drive a lot farther than someone else who is not using welfare to pay for the same kind of housing.

A lot of welfare stuff looks like a great deal when you put an amount on it but completely falls apart when you look at how challenging it is to access and what the conditions are around continuing in the program. It gets to the degree that getting that extra $40-50k a year requires you to give up a LOT. And it's a full time job to maintain. So you have to do all of that on top of your full time job, often with agencies who have no hours after work. And god help you if you have to show up somewhere regularly to pick something up.

As a bonus nuking welfare and replacing it with UBI would help a lot of the chronically homeless because it would allow them to get assistance without needing to have a permanent physical address.

> Of course I could switch to android, but I dont want to, solely because texting iPhone users would become a much worse experience

It's 99% the same experience - except for iMessage users your texts become green instead of blue.

On top of that, you can use many other services for texts, like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.

Beyond that, I don't see why it's Apple's problem that Google and/or other carriers can't make a decent texting experience without Apple making theirs less secure or a shittier experience in the process.

> Humans can reason purely form the armchair, starting with very few concepts, and reach far far, ironclad conclusions. Models aren’t doing that.

Sure, but the structure of human reasoning is almost identical to chains of thought. We have an auditory loop and, faced with a complex problem we repeat the mantra "now that I know XYZ, then what..." until the a good next step pops into our head and we add that to the context.

The transition function just is (currently) much better in humans.

I use Logseq.

I don't take notes on articles I find boring. If I can't find value within the first few minutes of skimming, I don't take notes on it.

You see a lot of productivity gurus take an exorbitant amount of notes on articles that can be summarized in one paragraph at most.

A lot of my notes are for things I find very interesting and exciting. Whenever I am having a conversation about them, the link to those notes is immediately made and I can resurface information in conversation.

I touch on them every once in a while, but it's not something I do frequently.

Most importantly, I make sure that I can find my way back to the notes I've taken. I use lots of tags and backlinks that do not "look" right with the page, but make it easy to find using adjacent concepts and ideas.
I personally would consider the reality of what is taking place to be really quite dramatic, even if it isn’t any threat to humans.

Were you getting banned site-wide for expressing those opinions? Or just banned from specific subs?

Only admins can ban you site-wide or shadowban you, and I can't imagine expressing any of those opinions being worthy of a site-wide ban from an admin unless you expressed them in an offensive way. ie, for the first opinion, using a slur when referring to the Chinese lab workers, or basically in any way accusing them of poor standards because they're Chinese. Likewise, for the third opinion, I've too often seen transphobia get disguised as concern trolling.

If it's moderators banning you from specific subs...well...that's just shitty moderators. Some of them are extremely power-hungry and ban happy, but they're not employees of reddit, and their actions should not be reflected on reddit as a whole.
One can be surprised by the traffic increase. "When I moved here 25 years ago, there was one flight in the morning and one in the afternoon. Now it's every 5 minutes from 6 am to 10 pm and they're trying to extend it post 10 pm!"

People claming to be witnesses to the resurrected Christ spent the rest of their lives executing on the Great Commission, going as far as India, Russia, Spain, and Carthage. Many did so under the threat of torture and death, and many were tortured and killed, never recanting.

There's no comparable event in history, and especially not in antiquity. Much of what we take for granted as ancient history comes with far fewer sources.

This is what kind of cracked my atheism and lead me to more fairly evaluate the claims of Christianity. Until that point I'd been a bit of a scoffer, taking for granted the premise that no organized religion could possibly be true.

Discovering eucharistic miracles led me further toward accepting Christianity as true. I still feel like kind of a crackpot mentioning the evidence. But there's strikingingly consistent features of eucharistic miracles, going back to a time where it wouldn't have been possible to fake. They all have a somewhat rare blood type, including ones that were preserved centuries before we knew about blood type. They're all human cardiac muscle. The more recent ones, which haven't decayed and lost evidence, have features that are consistent with someone undergoing extreme physical stress. They also have features that are consistent only with living tissue, even for samples that have been sitting in tap water for months or years.

The AI startup scene is absolutely booming, with a remarkable $460.5M raised by 35 companies in just the past 10 days alone. I took a deep dive into each startup and spotted some fascinating trends and verticals-to-watch in the process.

Key Takeaways:

AI/ML platforms, healthcare AI, and AI for retail/e-commerce dominated funding
Series A & B rounds led the pack, signaling maturing startups and growing traction
Quantum computing/photonics and AI for recycling/sustainability emerging as hot new areas
Seed stage saw diverse range of verticals: robotics, 3D design, asset mgmt, media/entertainment
Blistering funding pace of $46M+/day underscores intense investor enthusiasm
A few companies that really caught my eye:

Bear Robotics ($60M Series C): Bringing AI, robotics, and automation to restaurant/hospitality industries. Already deployed in 1000s of locations.

Zephyr AI ($111M Series A): Applying AI to radically reshape drug discovery and precision medicine. Partnering with top healthcare players.

Kaedim ($15M Series A): Instant 2D-to-3D image conversion unlocking 3D content creation at scale. Huge implications for gaming, e-commerce, metaverse.

The cool solution I've seen to this problem is to have some process for identifying the class of people who are affected by [locally burdensome thing] and then allowing the proponents (a business, the government, etc.) to negotiate some settlement with that affected class directly, with a majority vote used to accept the settlement.

For example, everyone near the airport could get some property tax relief or share of an annual payment that would go away if the airport went away.

This way a small minority of vocal opponents cannot effectively oppose something that would be good for everyone, but if something is irredeemably terrible and unfair locally affected people can block it.
Yes and no. If someone buy land at scale, and tries waging zoning politics...yeah, okay, arbitrage.

Vs. if John Doe buys a house near a substantial airport, then claims he didn't know? No, sorry, nothing's gonna change in his favor. Maybe he imagined it would, and planned...but that's just the difference between ignoramus and fool.
The "open ecosystem" does a poor job funding open source developers. It is completely understandable when a developer chooses to put food on the table over being part of their social club.

Make sense, Bulma is a CSS-only framework while Bootstrap (last time I used it) also has JavaScript parts to it, so naturally it'd have less to offer.
TL;DR: A fungus, likely spread by human activity, has been causing a large die-off of other-wise healthy amphibians.

I'll add that there are lots of other causes of mass amphibian extinctions, usually tied to localized habitat destruction and/or climate change: https://blaustein.science.oregonstate.edu/pdfs/Kiesecker_200.... These causes also increase the susceptibility of amphibians to various pathogens/disease.
>> Also, make it very inconvenient for passengers and staff to approach the airport by other means, only allow cargo delivery there through the road network. This disincentives people from e.g. building hotels close to the airport, which would then attract further settlement, which would ultimately lead to noise complaints again.

Or go one step further and just put on barriers to block the trains too. Don't let anyone near the airport unless they walk/bike the few miles. That will drive up servicing costs but will dramatically lower congestion. If don't correctly, virtually nobody will ever get to the airport. It can then be closed altogether, thereby eliminating any and all future noise complaints.
