>Even better is to get the cars off the road by having good flow and not jamming it up.

This is not practical in most cases of congestion, which are caused by the number of vehicles exceeding the road's capacity. There is no other choice after a certain point, vehicles will begin to pile up and speed up and slow down creating the traffic waves.

That video is correct for only a minority of times where the road capacity has not been met, but people are accelerating and decelerating too fast causing the traffic waves.

However, during times of too many vehicles on the road, such as rush hour, there is nothing anyone can do, other than use as much of the road as possible (i.e. less empty space).
When you look at the Epstein-Barr virus we call the result of the infection all kinds of syndromes.

Personally I had Long Epstein-Barr for almost a year. So I know it's no joke.

Most virus infections can cause long term problems.

You can see a list of missions to the ISS here. [1] The US stopped launching people to space from 2011 to 2020, relying entirely on Russia during that window. As of 2020 SpaceX entered the game and has started regularly sending people up, but the Artemis program's decision to inject Boeing into it was exclusively due to corruption/'influence.' They weren't competitive on qualification, capability, or price - but were granted a key role anyhow. Notably Boeing was also arbitrarily granted a contract to send people to the ISS under the same 'influence', and they were supposed to be the first private company to do so, more than 5 years ago now. That still hasn't happened.

And so the Artemis program now relies completely on NASA's judgement of Boeing's ability to send people to space on 'untested' (they're reusing Space Shuttle era tech and hardware but on an entirely new vessel) technology which has not only run many years and tens of billions of dollars over budget, but has seen a never-ending series of technical issues above and beyond what's expected during normal developmental processes.

Basically the big factor is Boeing here. If we contracted everything to SpaceX we'd probably stand a fair chance of putting man on the moon, again - but NASA's risk aversion would still be a major issue. But that's not the case. Now we have an incompetent company paired alongside an organization that will demand superhuman levels of assurances for the sort of spectacle they plan to make of it all, especially after Christa McAuliffe. It's not a great mix for the odds of anything actually going anywhere.

LMT is the third largest manufacturer of aircraft in the world, after Boeing and Airbus. They've built commercial aircraft before and are the best positioned to re-enter that market if there is a (government-encouraged) opening from massive failures at Boeing. I don't think they'll walk into it unprovoked, but my point is that Boeing isn't the only game in town long-term in the US.
Exactly. You remove the ceiling, but also the floor.
>> The idea that eating fat leads to higher body fat is the most dangerously-wrong health misconception in history.

As someone with damage to my visual cortex with a very specific effect I’m very curious what this would come up with for me. Not something useful on its own, but more understanding means more possibilities for treatments.
If he’s not smart why’s he so successful. Why did he have a job hosting fear factor. A job hosting UFC. A job being a stand up comic. He’s also short - which I thought meant the cards are stacked against you? He also has a black belt. They don’t give those out. He currently has the biggest, arguably most successful podcast of all time.

But he’s not smart right? Years and years of winning but he’s not smart.

You are capable of thinking and you are smart but that doesn’t mean you are right. Don’t conflate the two

How can one conclude he isn’t smart? Are you politically charged against him. Has he wronged you or your loved ones? Would you say he was not ‘smart’ if you had write a report for a 3 Letter agency?

You can get to the top once if you’re lucky. But if you keep ending up there…
How can you know that it's symbolic if you have no conscious access to it? Processes happen in the brain, some results in explicit symbolic representation, others not so much. Bringing "language" into this does not achieve much besides the fact that language we use to communicate plays some role in internal monologue.

Kagi Key Moments summary:

- Intelligent people are more prone to ideological biases and motivated reasoning than less intelligent people. They are better able to rationalize beliefs they want to hold.

- Intelligence evolved not as a tool for pursuing objective truth, but for pursuing personal well-being, social status, belonging, etc. This can lead people to adopt "fashionably irrational beliefs" to increase status.

- Elite academic institutions train students to win arguments rather than discern truth, creating a class of "master debaters" skilled at motivated reasoning who go on to influential careers.

- Fields like fat studies and gender studies were created through dubious but persuasive arguments to normalize controversial views, spreading irrational beliefs through academia.

- Wokeism spread from academia to the mainstream by couching opinions as knowledge through academic journals and then social media. However, its goals are social signaling, not truth or justice.

- Motivated reasoning is not due to intelligence itself but how intelligence is used to pursue truth or justify preferences. Curiosity and humility can direct intelligence toward truth.

- Learning about biases may backfire by allowing selective application. Developing character through curiosity and humility is more effective than just increasing knowledge.

- Defining self-worth by willingness to learn, not reasoning ability, promotes open-mindedness over clinging to beliefs.

- Constant self-questioning and willingness to change views builds trust in one's thoughts over time.

- Pursuing curiosity makes one humble, and humility makes one curious - an effective combination for overcoming biases.
There's got to be some discoverable biomarker for it. If it's significant enough to affect gross brain function, it's got to have some effect on for example brain waste clearance, neurohormones, assorted growth factors, or produce some form of inflammatory markers.
I definitely believe that this technology will get misused. But I expect the researchers are thinking of helpful medical applications. Perhaps to aid people with locked-in syndrome?

Edit: More interestingly, it would be amazing if this could show us someone’s perception rather than what they’re looking at. That would be tremendously useful to therapists.
Nice, I will now send out that link (in a polite way of course)
They make the yoghurt, then pasteurise it (I guess so it has a longer shelf life). So it tastes roughly like yoghurt but doesn't have any of the good bacteria. I've also seen that sometimes lactobacteria are then artificially added back in so that they are present but in a controlled way.
>Why make a Discord client when Discord literally does not want you to?

Discord's hostility is irrelevant if you desire to write a client. Kind of like climbing a mountain because it's there; who cares if the mountain will probably kill you.

>I do wish people motivated to work on projects like this would dedicate that time elsewhere, somewhere they are wanted.

If that desire was expressed in the form of compensation, more devs would probably start lining up.

I realize the very concept of compensation is heresy for FOSS, though.
I'm glad they researched it.

My wife's breasts had lumps, and she was always a little paranoid about them. She even had a couple of biopsies. Never missed her mammograms and even had the advanced 3D mammogram ones for dense breasts.

Still wound up with Stage 3 Lobular Breast cancer. The first symptom was that her breast suddenly swelled up to double in size--no lumps whatsoever. The cancer was completely invisible on mammogram. It took an MRI to see it.

Between causing anxiety over benign things and 15% of breast cancers that are even invisible on a mammogram, I'm quite unsurprised at the ineffectiveness of self-exams.
Heat treating / pasteurizing the yogurt after making it, kills the bacteria in it. Now the yogurt is "dead". Actually it is the bacteria that are now dead.
you mean the chip that only has 44GB of memory on one chip and doesn't mention how fast chips can talk between each other?
It refers to whether the yogurt is alive or dead. It's not exactly mysterious terminology.

You get yogurt by using bacteria to process milk. In order to do their processing, the bacteria need to be alive. So, for example, adding living yogurt to milk will get you more yogurt, but adding dead yogurt to milk will get you milk with some dead yogurt in it.

I've thought a lot about this over the years as it feels like I can remember a lot from before the age of three. This has gotten me thinking if I'm really remembering, or if say, pictures of events or things parents shared caused me to believe I was remembering. The thing is though, much of what I really remember is stuff I've never talked about with anyone - the first time I saw a dead bird or playing in the sandbox or seeing the sagebrush blow by from the backseat of the car on a road trip that must have been 1978. And, the more I create prompts for myself - say something like "What can I remember about my Kindergarten classroom?" for example, the more the memories start flooding back. Heck, I feel like I can remember individual days at pre-school, and I would have only been 3 or 4. I definitely remember the Iran hostage crisis being on TV at grandma's house, and I wouldn't have been more than 2 when that happened.

All that to say... I think some of it is the result of either novelty or trauma. Like when the brain first experiences something, it is more likely to make a point to remember it over it being something less novel and thus less memorable. What's odd to me is I can remember pictures of some events that must have happened before I was about 4 that I really don't remember apart from seeing the pictures and acknowledging that apparently I was there - which tells me the things I do remember must be actual memories rather than some kind of implanted suggestion.
Well, we know why some people are 5ft tall and some are 6ft (genetics and diet).

I’m asking do we know why some people retain early childhood memories and some don’t?
I a programmer I have to make a sharp distinction between "feeling of understanding" and understanding. The former can easily dissolve when you try to operationalize it, that is to make something that works based on the feeling that you understand it as opposed to producing a string of words based on that feeling.
This is a great post. I’d previously started to write a tree-sitter grammar for djot but bounced off when I realised I’d have to use an external scanner. Nice to have an article that sets out how to do so.

Exactly. The whole image generation bit, at this stage, is noise. But you could easily describe what someone is looking at. Even that is very interesting. And perhaps this will scale up to get high quality, accurate, outputs.
That benefit only exists for the already rich that can tolerate that risk. Who comes from actual modest beginnings and started a company that became successful recently?

Refix: Fast, Debuggable, Reproducible Builds
It does, but the European and American economy have really diverged in the last 25 years. 25 years ago economies like Germany, Netherlands etc. were pretty much on par with the US economy (on per capita basis), which is not true anymore. And there wasn't a world war on European soil in the past 25 years.

I would blame:
- Mishandling the financial crises after 2008 (austerity measures)
- Aging population (low birthrate + not enough immigrants)
- Internet businesses really have an advantage in markets that are mono-lingual and most growth came from the internet in the past 25 years.
- The EU exists, but the market is still very fragmented.
But it is no longer updated, is it?

Show HN: Movespring Alternative – DistantRace
Greetings, HN community! I'm the founder of DistantRace, and I'm thrilled to share the platform my small team and I have been dedicated to building.

DistantRace revolutionizes how we create and engage in sports challenges. Our platform is not only more affordable but also incredibly flexible, allowing users to easily design and participate in events that combine different activities, like tracking steps and cycling kilometers, culminating in competitive events like a virtual 10k race.

What sets DistantRace apart is our comprehensive integration with leading fitness trackers and apps, including Garmin, Polar, FitBit, Suunto, UnderArmor MapMyRun, Decathlon Coach, Withings, Runtastic, and Wahoo. This perfect connection means we record every step, every bike ride, and every exciting moment of your race accurately, combining them into one complete competition experience.
Yea, very workload dependent. Reposurgeon needed hundreds of gigabytes of ram to convert the GCC repository from SVN to Git, which was a lot of fun, but most of the time I would be fine with 32GB.
As a front-end developer dabbling with rust, the compiler being slow is not a problem for me. Whilst I appreciate the benchmark, it's not likely I'll have 72GB of ram laying around to speed up the process.

Yes, hot module reloading is nice and quick. But it reloads with errors included.

The primary benefit of the rust compiler, at least from my point of view, is telling me what's wrong, where. It's a worthwhile sacrifice for a few seconds of my time, when at the end of addressing all of the obvious errors, I have something that works. I find this miles better than HMR.
Did something similar when I was behind CGNAT and had no IPv6 or port forwarding. Instead of a pi, I cheaped out even more and used an old android phone. Wrote a little Rust program that listened on a ntfy[1] channel, cross-compiled with cargo-ndk[2] and ran it in termux (which had the wol tool, a perl script that sends magic packet). The web UI simply pinged the channel (and showed the pong).

I'm curious why a machine would want to kill us all? Other than it being a learned behavior from humans. Wouldn't a "conscious" AI quickly accelerate its knowledge and wisdom well beyond human condition? Also, wouldn't the machine recognise that humans could be good resources? In that case more likely to hire us or enslave us.

Or you know the article on highly processed foods that made the home page the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39746915 ... Could the seed oils thing be a bit much? Sure. Could canola and its use be part of the problem as a highly processed food. Maybe. Is any one doing the research? None of us know...

Why people have some aversion to seed oils, a highly processed food: "Canola oil is made at a processing facility by slightly heating and then crushing the seed.[34] Almost all commercial canola oil is then extracted using hexane solvent, which is recovered at the end of processing. Finally, the canola oil is refined using water precipitation and organic acid to remove gums and free fatty acids, filtering to remove color, and deodorizing using steam distillation. Sometimes the oil is also bleached for a lighter color." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed_oil

I'm not sure that sounds like food...

I tend to ignore comments in example programs because they look like this:

// Set x to 42
x += 42

It's a form of banner blindness.

By the way, first I felt a strong Pythonic vibe but then I realized that the colons after the statements were missing. I asked ChatGPT and it said Nim. I opened the Nim homepage and realized that Nim also uses the colons. Then it said it is probably just a form of pseudo-code, and it was right.

I reread the whole article to find the clue but never thought to read the commments. Really weird of me.

P.S. Did you see the mistake in the comment before you got here?
I agree that memory size isn't going to matter much, but memory speed should be noticeable, especially on large projects.
At the time when yim,icq,msnm had their primetime no company behind it wanted third party clients.

"Why make a Discord client when Discord literally does not want you to?"
Why make another X when you could improve Y.
Because most of the time if they wouldn't build X they wouldn't improve Y. This is no company that balance human resources.
Maybe there is something to this kind of moment as being particularly memorable, because one of the distinct moments I can recall that I know had to have been before 12 months was playing on the floor with my grandfather. He had a stroke not long after, which is how I know this had to have been the timeline. I can see the 1970s carpet, I know he was there bouncing me around as you do with a baby, and then mom came around the corner. That stuff can't just be an implanted suggestion from a picture - it almost makes me wonder is there a kind of micro trauma of being separated from the adult and then seeing them again that provokes a memory to be generated? Is there something novel about this kind of moment that causes memory to kick in and capture the moment, even though I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday?
> I don't think

yes.
> The team fine-tuned the network by training it on thousands of experimentally determined structures of antibodies attached to their targets

So that should explain the relatively low yield.

To avoid the word "AI", the researchers took a thought-to-be universal model and ran a parameter estimation for a very complex 3D (bio-)chemical interaction model.

Of course this approach will work with enough samples and a model that is universal enough to express the problem solution. But they simply had way fewer samples than, say, a large language model.

I think this approach won't carry that far because of this lack of training data. It might give us some exciting results, but as long as manufacturing of antibodies and testing them takes a (comparatively) long time and huge effort, the model will be much less efficient than a classical algorithmic simulation. But of course, there's a chance that it provides insights into improving such "boring" models.
