I wonder what it feels like WRT climate change, for the next couple generations. For millennials, it was really depressing because the previous generations left this giant problem for us, but at least there was the slight mitigating factor that, while the situation was pretty well understood by scientists, at least it wasn’t totally obvious to the whole population.

Our parents might have been gullible but that’s a non-malicious failing. We’ve also done sweet fuck-all about global warming though.

We can say it is because we haven’t been able to grab the reins, but we’re hitting our 40’s pretty soon. We owed the next generation a revolution but we seem to be taking a “maybe I’ll get promoted” approach to things. It wasn’t enough.

I wonder if all we managed to do was kill the hope that “awareness” is actually going to accomplish anything.
Sounds pretty reductive and dismissive. Have you actually used LiveView and compared the DX? I've used a a few of the technologies you listed, and LiveView is a different animal.
We / they did a lot.

We actually took steps and saved the Ozone layer.

Invented and made the solar panel economically viable.

Electric cars aren't exactly designed by the youngest generation either.

We / they have taken big steps to stop trade in tropic hardwoods.

The generation before us built the systems and societies that we today take for granted. To the best of their abilities, very many of them worked very hard to give something better to us than they got themselves.

Go further back and they actually stopped the most well oiled war machine that has ever existed, the nazis. Later they stopped the Soviet by outcompeting them.

Hindsight is 20/20.

But a little humility should be mandatory I think.

And ironically, we have the environmentalists of the past to thank for the fact that we don't have several times as much nuclear power for base load (and also several times less
I'm not saying I don't believe you, but how credible are these cooking videos? $10000 of saffron could provide enough flavour for easily 6 months worth of tea.
Sorry for perhaps missing it but it states "It provides both a fully interoperable encoder and decoder complying with the original JPEG standard". Does that mean that jpegli-encoded images can be decoded by all jpeg decoders? But it will not have the same quality?
Is there ever not an adolescent mental health crisis?

I’m a millennial and I remember a lot of talk around depression and anxiety crises when I was in school.

That’s not what I’m saying but maybe I misunderstood your point.
Basically every city near Chicago has a decent train line to get there.
Safflower is a much different flavour, is used in Georgian spice mixes and is what bulks up a lot of herbal tea mixes. The first time I bought it, I laughed and said "ha smells like tea bags".

But it sure is useful to figure out what policies and who did that... considering those are basically still the people in power. For any world-wide change you need to either change them or wait for them to die.
I know Rust (esp on HN) is very hyped for its memory safety and nice abstractions, but I really wonder how much Rust owes its popularity to its error messages.

I would say the #1 reason I stop learning a technology is because of frustrating or unclear errors.

EDIT: Getting a bit of topic, but I meant more because I love C and would love it more with rust level error messages.
Sorry wrong link!
Wait, so if I understand this correctly (what I don't know about hardware is a lot!), is this basically a "macroprocessor"? As in, it functions the same way as a vanilla 6502, but done at a larger scale?

Actually pretty cool that it's able to get 1/20th the speed when it's this big!

The problem there is the 30K line function, not the goto!
It's an army too cowardly to have dismounted infantry protecting their tanks, so instead their conscripts burn alive in there when they get in contact with actual militants.

It's an army incompetent enough to recreate the rubble of Stalingrad to help its enemy.

How would they go about producing officers that could enact such pressure? How would they recognise the difference between a specialist and a charlatan whos family is good friends with the army rabbi?
A macroprocessor.
I don't think basing your ROE on the results of an election that took place in 2006 is a valid approach.
This is a couple of years old, but has new relevance in light of CA's new $20 minimum wage for fast food workers (except for Panera Bread).
Another commenter said: "I really liked the Art of Computer Programming with regards to this subject. While seemingly obsolete, there are a ton of pre-heap / pre-stack algorithms for dynamically changing arrays or other data structures."

I wonder what programming techniques exist today that will be obsolete in 30 years? I imagine Transformers made a bunch of early ML algorithms completely obsolete?

What else?
I really can't comment here because it seems like there are a million possible details that could make this either something very illegal or a miscarriage of justice.
There are lots of trees that can't be balanced, like tries.
Destin's video was shortsighted but I believe his new video is better on understanding it is not about just flags any more.
All those points are overstated.
if the article was about Tor, comments would be overwhelming supportive of privacy. I have a hunch about why they would be against corporate privacy and it is probably tied to socioeconomic reasons and the media they are exposed to (aka reddit)
Wuffs is for the exact _opposite_ purpose (decoding). It can do simple encoding once you know what bits to put in the file, but a JPEG encoder contains a lot of nontrivial machinery that does not fit well into Wuffs.

(I work at Google, but have nothing to do with Jpegli or Wuffs)
I think blaming it on the phones themselves though is incredibly useless. Yes, the phones and networks permitting the construction of these echo-chambers are a problem that does warrant attention, but it doesn't change the fact that there are numerous, wide scale, huge problems that we are just not dealing with as a society. Is it healthy to have those problems shoved in your face non-stop? No, of course not, but it's arguably even more unhealthy to pretend they don't exist, especially when many of these are existential threats to us as a species.

Basically: Climate doomerism is a problem, yes. But climate change is also a problem, one that our power structures seem completely unwilling to address. And in such an environment, Climate doomerism is kind of a logical outcome: we know there's an issue, scientists have known since the 70's, yet we do precious little about it and fundamentally our leaders seem content to ride out the collapse of the biosphere and cash their checks. Of course that's fucking depressing.
Yeah nah they're not selling the data, they're using the data to sell their customers.
Has any combatant in any armed struggle ever given a clear answer to that question?
I can't account for all other tools, but we at least think that having our own tool still beats the ones we know about in UX. We actually compare ourselves to some vendor tooling and have regular knowledge sharing with a specific vendor that focuses on threat modeling :)

This started as a quick hackathon project by a different developer like three years ago just coupling a diagramming tool with our system inventory. Over time we've just kept building on it and refining it as one of the many tools we maintain under the "Secure Development" umbrella.

It was always tightly coupled to our system inventory from the start, so it has been fairly easy to get engineers on board. It has even become useful outside of threat modeling (our offensive security people love having it before a pentest as often it's the defacto diagram of the system).
yikes, that is quite terrible.

Jpegli encoded images decode just fine with any JPEG decoder, and will still be of great quality. All the tests were done with libjpeg-turbo as the decoder. Using Jpegli for decoding gives you a bit better quality and potentially higher bit depth.
Most blunders (at least 1500 ELO and below) are often board observation blunders, where your board vision lets you down. Either you're too tunnel visioned on your own attack or you just expose yourself to simple tactics. When I first started playing online, I would routinely blunder my queen roughly 10% of the time. Luckily I've improved and only do it 9% of the time...
It’s not the the medium itself or the message it carries, it’s the lack of emotional support that has been eroded for years now. It might sound cliché but in the end what every human wants is to be loved, even when teens and pre-teens want to reveal against parents and their rules and teachings they still need them. How can a teen learn and accept that possessions do not guarantee happiness when everyone they see looks happy and successful and their parents look and fight everyday for the same empty goals and they’re absent escaping reality on their devices too. Let kids be kids and teens be teens parents don’t need to be “cool” they need to be parents.

Hi Everyone! I'm a soon-to-be new grad eager to kickstart my career as a Software Engineer. Before pursuing my degree, I served in the US Marine Corps working on AV-8B Harriers.

I thrive on tackling challenging tasks independently and have a knack for grasping complex concepts quickly. I love putting a large amount of attention to detail in everything I do.

I'm a US Citizen and open to any opportunities!
Logik: Open-source FPGA toolchain by Zero ASIC
Here we're talking about the privacy of the owner of the LLC, not of the LLC itself. In particular, the owner wants "what LLCs they own" to be private.
It makes something ring hollow then.

Why do the whole high and mightly we're using ASCII thing, then to throw me to WordPress. Certainly a bit of HTML with a few inline images fit the overall goal better.

That said, I wish them the best, and I hope that they dominate their market. :)
The train is the most convenient method of mid distance inter-city travel in the UK because it’s so fast. Nobody’s driving the 4 hours between London and Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds for a business meeting when the train takes 2 hours.

Inter city trains in the UK aren’t running on dedicated high speed lines - they’re Victorian routes, pass through plenty of stops on the way and are generally 2 or 4 tracks.

They do have priority over freight though - which along with incremental upgrades over decades means the trains can run at 125mph for parts of their routes.
I just know this is going to take weeks or months of planning meetings, stakeholder sensing sessions, and arguments over minutiae. Not a good use of official time and taxpayer resources.

It's all arbitrary anyway. Just pick something that makes sense. UTC, UTC+1 (ESA), UTC-6 (Houston), whatever.
I see where you're coming from and I do plan to add a web UI and plugin/integration options in the future.

I personally wanted something with a tighter feedback loop that felt more akin to git. I also thought that simplifying the UI side would help me stay focused on getting the data structures and basic mechanics right in the initial version. But now that the core functionality is in place, I think it will work well as a base for additional frontends.
How would you compile Redict's source code into a website? And if you somehow did, it would be an executable, yes.
I'm in the camp that thinks the two-state solution is dead.. which means we are left with an eventual one state solution. Which means they are killing their own future voters.
Whenever these massive services get any substantial downtime I fantasize about it extending over a large amount of time. Just imagine getting rid of Instagram and TikTok for a while, considering the insurmountable addiction most people have to them. I bet the massive change in behaviour would be palpable very quickly, especially in kids who've known nothing else.
Google plans to stop announcing BGP routes at IX
It appears that Google will no longer open peering with IX members, not sure if this is global or only for certain IX.
It looks good.

I wish their headline was "natural gas from solar power" 'cause many things labeled "carbon neutral" wind-up being conventional petrochemicals plus some worthless "offsets" baloney.

Sorry this is ridiculous. Not all saffron is equal. Iranian saffron is so pungent that just opening a container of it will have folks be able to smell it across the room.

This stuff is usually locked up in Indian/middle eastern supermarkets.
Dropping the gun is not sufficient to claim civilian status. Military bases are full of soldiers that may not be armed, or even awake. That lack of a gun does not suddenly grant them civilian status.
What happens when you put a computer in front of the judges at the ICC?
There's all sorts of legitimate ways for instance there are traders who are watching companies doing mergers and acquisitions and you want to make it not so obvious. There's family offices that do not want to advertise but still need to manage their wealth. Holding companies with investment portfolios in non-liquid assets, isolate and manage risks etc.

People in the comments are conflating layering with simply legit use cases like using foreign jurisdiction and shell companies for corporate/investment strategies.
I'm sorry, but I don't think so.

All the sociopolitical difficulties that hinder solutions today were just as, if not more, insurmountable for all those generations.

And the technological landscape is much more promising today than at any point since this problem was identified. And people from all the generations you listed are strongly represented among the people who created and began scaling those technologies.

No generation has been better positioned to contribute to solving this problem than the one entering adulthood today. It will be a damn shame if most of them but into doomerism and let it keep them from taking their shot.
Last time I looked into this, Terraform's 1MW reactor can fill a normal LNG truck in 145 days of operation. Or if you prefer, 145 such reactors would be needed to fill one (1) LNG truck per day.

The work they're doing will help prove out DAC, moving it further down the tech adoption curve, which is good. The task of making methane from the air should be performed with multi-GW nuclear reactors, which produce full power 90% of the time they exist, and which can use heat instead of electrolysis to free hydrogen, which is more energetically efficient. The use of an extensive and intermittent power source which only produces electricity is a severe limitation here.
If that's the only case where this is true, then both the headline and the first sentence of this article are misleading or incorrect. The headline states "Ninety Per Cent of War-Time Casualties Are Civilians" with no qualifiers. The first sentence starts "With civilians accounting for nearly 90 per cent of war-time casualties..." with no qualifiers.

It's disappointing that this UN report is so poorly written as to seem to contradict itself. Do you think ultimately the 90% refers exclusively to explosive use in urban areas, or all war casualties? I'm frankly not sure which thing the article is claiming.
I feel like land use policies make everything expensive and everything except parking lots and gas stations rare.
Any chance you could convert ‘nearly half as slow’ to a percentage of the original response time? This reads like a reading comprehension puzzle and I don’t even know if my hunch is correct.
Ask HN: Why can't the US government run their own social media?
With the news yesterday of POTUS joining threads.net and with the fanfare about the possibility of following him from other AP-compatible servers (like Mastodon), I was left wondering why is it that the White House couldn't just run their own services?

Doesn't "POTUS is using threads for social media" feel a bit like "POTUS is using outlook.com for email"?

Is there anything about the bureaucracy that stops their some small team to setup a Mastodon server on "social.whitehouse.gov" and make this a reality? I find it hard to believe that this would be "if it got hacked it could create diplomacy issues", because I don't think that Facebook is setting up any type of special infrastructure to deal with political figures on their platform. Also, none of this seems to be a problem for some of the EU governments.

Maybe I am missing something. If there is someone among you working with the US Goverment or aware of how their digital initiatives work and can shed some light into this?
As a customer or vendor why would I care who the beneficial owners are? Either the product works or it doesn't. Either they pay their bills or they don't. I don't want to waste time digging into their internal details.
I'd love to know what "Paradigms of Intelligence" means in this context.
That doesn't mention Al Qaeda? It just talks about drone strikes against ISIS, which is yet again quite a different organisation than Al Qaeda and Hamas.
Ask HN: Best YC companies for nonUS founder to open a personal bank acct in US

I'm trying to open up a personal bank account in the US, though I'm not a US person.

Ask HN: Where to host my personal email
I have a personal email address dating back 20+ years. It’s tied to my parents internet provider and when they are gone, my email address will disappear with them. I got this mail address when their internet provider was called “Multikabel” (now Ziggo), some older Dutch people will remember.

I’m going to buy my own domain for my new email address, but I wonder where I should host my email.

As email is so important and tied to many things, it must be robust. So gmail seems obvious. But I feel exposed by that, I don’t like it. Ideally I don’t put my email straight in the hands of the USA, although I admit I don’t know how Ziggo is handling Email, who knows what they do.

I feel it should be a Dutch or European company, but I’m open to any ideas. I’m also open to how people look at this “challenge”

Any suggestions are welcome!
Secret CIA mission and the Baltimore bridge collapse share history – AP News
I just want to get all the people communicating "special offers"-type arrangements in a room and tell them their messaging sounds unbelievably creepy.

Anyhoo, other than privacy concerns, my issue with this is a scenario like buying a UTI kit at the drugstore for a family member and suddenly getting all manner of urinary and kidney health ads nonstop. Like, I certainly don't LOVE 99.9% of Brands I interact with regularly, because most of them, from clothes to meds, are things I buy because I have to. Even my favorite Brands run the risk of the "oh god the Thai restaurant knows my takeout order before I place it because I come here too much so now I have to stop coming here for at least 6 months" effect if they get too clingy, and anyone else is basically instant "NOPE."
What evidence would you accept that would prove the allegations sufficiently to change your mind?
That ratio is by all estimates lower than 10%.

UN Estimates, as of March 1st, are "10,675 [civilians] killed, 20,080 wounded" -- on both sides.

The number of soldiers killed on both sides (combined) is certainly no less than 100k, and might even exceed 400k.

In Gaza, more than 25,000 civilians have already been killed. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/01/1145742

This is a callous, inexcusable massacre. By comparison with the Israelis, the Russians look like "gentle and parfait knights." But the former are presumably on our side, and the latter are our geopolitical opponents. So.

That's my understanding. That the whole of the Gaza strip is essentially watched under the equivalent of stingrays and all traffic out is monitored with room 641a style taps.

Startup idea: Hire interns to emulate AI, build better models for internal use, coop ownership, IPO, retire by graduation. intern.me seems available.
The idea that it isn’t two mostly-unrelated issues of screen/information addiction and meaning is baffling to me.

I know I’m providing no evidence, but this feels so obvious to me. I’m 27 fwiw. Does anyone else agree with my flippant perspective?
In Norway it is rather the other way:

We all know (if we stop and think) that a person can be both a teacher and a terrorist.

But according to media here almost every victim except top Hamas brass seems to be referred to by their whatever else they were besides terrorists and the terrorists (or even just soldier) part get hushed down.
Meawhile it's Apple's "competitors" that are in the FTC's crosshairs. Arguably that makes this just a little more interesting. To be blunt, in keeping Khan off a podcast with a large audience, Apple appears to be doing someone else a favour.
> we have the environmentalists of the past to thank for the fact that we don't have several times as much nuclear power for base load

Ask yourself why environmentalists succeeded in shutting down nuclear power, the one viable alternative to fossil fuels, when they failed at literally everything else. That might lead you to who was actually responsible.
