It got published in "Scientific Reports", not in "Nature". Scientific Reports is a journal that belongs to the Nature Publishing Group, *but* it is a known low-impact journal. When you get your acceptance-for-publication confirmation in that journal you are specifically told to never refer to it as "Nature's Scientific Reports", rather only as "Scientific Reports", so even their own publishing group does not want to associate too closely with it (to avoid risking its brand value)
"Satan, as a figure was created (and described) by Christians."

Satan is initially described with his methods in Genesis, a Jewish work. Evil people often use the same ones today, esp in advertising and politics. Analysis of his methods below:

https://bible.org/seriespage/lesson-8-how-temptation-works-g...

Later, Satan is in Job and Zechariah 3. He's accusing people hoping that they get taken down. By Genesis, we don't need to know anything more about Satan other than to avoid or resist him. By Job and Zechariah, we know he's a consistent, mortal enemy of humanity across many generations. God's Word reveals more later but not much. Why not?

God's Word is about His relationship with and redemption of man through Jesus Christ. The books all combine into one story about how God saves us from ourselves for Himself by His grace and Christ's death. With that writing focus, he barely mentions most things in nature (eg angels). Same for most of the sciences. Why would God dig deep into a subordinate enemy in a book meant to glorify God?

The other angle is, once forgiven by Christ, God's Word is training for righteousness. We're to focus on loving and imitating Christ, and loving and serving each other. Much of what's in the Word supports those goals in different ways. Reading about lying angels that hate us wouldn't help at all. If we bump into them, invoking Jesus' name is all it takes to deal with them. He'll finish them off later.

"RoCE"? Woah, I had to Google that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDMA_over_Converged_Ethernet

> RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) or InfiniBand over Ethernet (IBoE)[1] is a network protocol which allows remote direct memory access (RDMA) over an Ethernet network. It does this by encapsulating an InfiniBand (IB) transport packet over Ethernet.

Sounds very cool.
Explained from https://www.space.com/higgs-boson-god-particle-explained

>A boson is a "force carrier" particle that comes into play when particles interact with each other, with a boson exchanged during this interaction. For example, when two electrons interact they exchange a photon — the force-carrying particle of electromagnetic fields.

Because quantum field theory describes the microscopic world and the quantum fields that fill the universe with wave mechanics, a boson can also be described as a wave in a field.

So a photon is a particle and a wave that arises from an excited electromagnetic field and the Higgs boson is the particle or "quantized manifestation" that arises from the Higgs field when excited. That field generates mass via its interaction with other particles and the mechanism carried by the Higgs boson called the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism.

Reminders isn't great, but I've never really used a "great" TODO app. Until recently, I mostly used Apple's Notes app for TODOs, and find that it works better than Reminders for my use cases.

My beef is not really with the app itself, but with the ecosystem lock-in and Apple's recent behavior in the EU, lack of true E2EE for iCloud, etc.. I've just started migrating to Standard Notes, and have been trying to reduce my dependency on Apple's apps.

My main issue with these two (and don't get me wrong: I'm delighted people are trying) is that they hit the uncanny valley pretty hard. They get enough of it right that the small differences really stick out, particularly things like font and text positioning. It almost makes me wonder if a Aqua-esque window manager with window buttons on the left -- and stopping there -- would be more successful than trying to get all the quirks in.
Am I the only one who thinks that, in a niche area that probably never got great distribution anyway, self-publishing though one of the major platforms isn't a pretty decent alternative? It's not like bookstores (with a few exceptions) are such a great distribution channel these days and you can always approach a few like City Lights to cut a deal.

> Yikes. Some people have different belief systems, some of those belief systems believe in the afterlife.

That is fine, there are also people who follow the Flat Earth Society (with 'members all around the globe') or who follow the flying spaghetti monster (my wife is a card carrying member). Honestly, I actually thought for quite some time the Flat Earth Society was a joke. I wonder how many members consider it as such.

Now, you may have such beliefs. They're not based on facts though. And when it comes to beliefs, you should prepare to get ridiculed as they're not fact-based. When you face such ridiculousness, you may stand fierce, and decide to prove your point. But if it is not a factual-based point, and you are unable to prove it, do not be surprised when you are not taken seriously.

For me, belief is very simple. I am not going to believe in a God, and I only need to look at the suffering happening in one country in this world (which I am not going to name since the name is irrelevant). The immense suffering of people in this country, on both sides of the conflict, leads me to the simple conclusion that if there is a God it must be a cruel, conflicted being. Besides, why can these religious people not agree on the basics of their belief systems? Why would a loving God divide people like that?

Instead, I take a more simple approach to God and Devil. They're just bastardizations of the words and concepts of good and evil, and that is it. Concepts which had to be enforced onto people when law was weak, unjust, and fundamental democratic principles like Trias Politica did not yet exist. As far as these concepts ever worked well to begin with, we no longer need God and Devil.
I read somewhere that a study was done, and people who eat instinctively ( without any sort of strategy to control calories ) on average, over ate by 100 calories a day.

3500 calories is the rule of thumb used by fitness enthusiasts to represent one pound of fat. Ignoring the fact that it takes about 2 calories per day to maintain 1 pound of body fat, eating an extra 100 calories per day ( half a can of soda +/- ) would result in 1 lb of weight gain in 35 days, or just over 1 month, without the person ever being aware they are overeating. Carry that forward for 10 years, and theres the extra 100 lbs many people are carrying.

This is a simple example, as other factors like processed vs unprocessed also come into play, but I think the point is clear:

Eating food without accounting for calories, is like running a business without accounting for the money. Both tend to not end well.
Windows 2000 was based on NT. While it had the Windows 98 interface it was very different underneath. It's a bit bonkers, but MS sold two superficially-identical operating systems for five plus years, that were in reality, about as different as two OSes could be; different histories, different underlying architecture, little code shared between the kernels and only part of the userland. And yet the two OS families had almost exactly the same UI and API.
Ask HN: Advice Getting a Rubber Proof/Prototype Created
Hey HN Fam!

I’m trying to get a proof/prototype of a physical good I’m working on created. It is made out of the same type of material a theraband resistance band uses. A unique constraint of this good is that it will also have right corners (imagine a square).

My goal is to get the proof, do a photoshoot with it, and see if it will drive demand.

How should i get this proof/prototype made? My first instinct was going on alibaba and requesting a sample there. But as the product is novel + not yet trademarked, I don’t want to run the risk of having it ripped off. If this is the right route, what sort of legal protections should I seek out before.

If not, what would be a better route? All thoughts welcome :)

Solid state batteries are something different. Both Lithium and Sodium can be used for them - Lithium has better density, but again Sodium is cheaper. Sodium ones are still being researched, but eventually can be 2-3x energy denser than current Lithium Ion.
With the knowledge and technology of today there is arguably very little direct economic value to be had from this part of particle physics. One cannot preclude potential future implications though (it has happened many times in the past that understanding phenomena that were far removed from everyday experience created later the conditions for massive technological breakthroughs).

Particle physicists and other researchers in fundamental science are also typically keen to point out at indirect effects. E.g., building the massive accelerators to detect particles pushes forward more conventional technologies. The Web was famously invented to serve CERN collaboration needs.
Very good resources, documentation for the tooling, thank you so much!

This is a conversation about India, not the US.

The market and business environment in India is entirely different from the US.

Charging infra will eventually get built in India, but it will take 4-7 years at least.

At that point it makes sense to save a bit more money to buy a $12k Toyota or Maruti Suzuki hybrid instead of spending $9k on a Tata EV.

The Toyota and Maruti Hybrid will have a longer range, and you don't need to worry about running out of battery in a random town in the middle of nowhere in India - a country where the law and order situation is not great.
I highly doubt your claims.

Recently watched a bit of this on the news channel here in Japan. I had not heard about the water situation until the news exposed it. I can understand the concern because in Japan I must say that water is a resource that the rural parts of Japan pride themselves on. Being familiar with the Sagamihara station project to some degree it did displace some residents but also a school which was moved. Aside from that, rent increased for people close to the planned station simply because it could increase the marketability of the area. If the station or plan falls through it would make the increased rent that was paid for nothing (same for any prospective new housing/businesses that came).

What are they going to investigate?

The FTC is going to render contractual terms negotiated in good faith between well-represented and sophisticated commercial buyers “just because”?

If a big buyer wants better terms, the seller might give it to them under the condition the pricing info isn’t leaked, spoiling the rest of their market. Otherwise they don’t give it. So the buyer agrees to confidentiality to get the best terms. There’s zero chance the FTC gets in the middle of this kind of negotiation.

Personally, I treat wireless earbuds as essentially disposable items. Even if they're mechanically reliable, they fall out on a ride/run, they fill up with earwax, and are otherwise way too vulnerable to invest hundreds of dollars on.

The sound quality of $30 Bluetooth earbuds from no-name vendors is plenty good enough in the terrible acoustic environments I use them. If you want good sound quality, no earbud is ever going to come close to a good set of full-size headphones, so I'd prefer to invest money in those instead.

Yeah, active noise cancellation would be nice but I imagine that the next generation of cheapie earbuds will have that too.

While I get the desire for reducing environmental impact, the total mass of these earbuds is so small that it hardly seems worrying about in terms of the millions of tons of crap that goes into landfill every year.
I use hearing protection. It's a lot louder and more sudden than a power tool, especially when amplified in a small enclosed space. If I were on a shooting range it'd be no big deal, but not unexpectedly in my garage.

Ola has explicitly stated that they will make Ola drivers start using Ola Electric e-bikes [0], and the overwhelming majority of 2 wheeler EV sales are Ola Electric bikes.

> Reliance already got into the charging station business and most importantly there are startups convincing third-parties to turn their homes into charging stations which I believe is the right solution

Most of the Jio gas stations (like the ones in my ancestral village) only add 1 or at most 2 charging stations for EV cars, and Reliance corporate doesn't provide maintenance support.

Those same startups trying to convince people make homes into charging stations simply won't succeed outside of urban areas because of the trust deficit that exists.

The future of the Indian EV sector is in Tier 3-4 metros and small towns. That is where the majority of Indian urbanization is happening, and even where most of the sale for e-rickshaws are happening.

Charging stations will eventually get built, but it's a 4-7 year process.

What do you mean by active vs inactive fiber cable? I tried to Google about this distinction, but I couldn't find anything helpful.
Not only do you only have 4KB of instruction cache, but it's direct mapped.

So if the linker just so happens to place the function you are calling at some address that's some multiple of 4KB away from your current hot loop, then the code for your hot loop, and the function you call will get continually evicted and reloaded for each loop iteration.

A small change to a random function could have large impacts on the alignment of all other functions in your game, and could result in large performance impact. The simple solution is to just inline everything your hot loops call. That avoids the chance of the pathological cases (and has the bonus of avoiding function call overhead), but at the cost of increasing code bloat in general (which the cache hates).

I've been vaguely considering making linker that's aware of direct mapped caches, and uses the call graph to guide the placement of functions (and data too, for machines with direct mapped data caches). Not only would it be useful for retro consoles with direct mapped caches like the ps1 and n64 (and probably help for the PS2 too, which is only 2-way set associative) but it would be useful for modern microcontrollers that do XIP execution of code from flash. They often have simplistic direct mapped caches too.

EV technology is fundamentally inferior though. People don't want EV's and their slow charging, limited range, high expense, and fire hazards. Even if it did work we don't have nearly enough electricity production to power a majority of people adopting EVs.

Is this only for mass market trade books?

There are dozens of university presses in North America alone that have a huge selection of high quality books available for order at any time, from what I can see online.

And there are multiple small distributors for the rest of the world that seemed to be viable businesses.

For example, I bought an excellent textbook published by Kyoto university on morphology of modern agricultural products written by Japan's leading expert in this field, including relevant research notes from his best students, all bound in an excellent hardcover English translation.
