I'd add that in the Brazilian these medical schools frequented by the children of the elite, graduation party funds add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Students are expected to pony up a sizeable monthly sum starting from the first year of the graduation.
I wonder if NASA should have known this?
Meteors exist, and there's nothing you can do to stop it, aside from clearly uneconomical shielding of every roof of every home.

Its arrogance to think we are immune from unexpected and sudden death because we are humans.

Also, cars and trucks occasionally do drive through homes, if the homes are next to large roads. Its rare, but far more common than space debris.

Also, keep in mind these space debris, even if they hit homes, are unlikely to kill, a 10cm diameter ball (Aka 80cm^2 = 0.008m area) is unlikely to hit someone in a 100m^2 home.
Absolutely, I wish we would get rid of this cult-like devotion to the private sector and its amazing profitability and efficiencies.

Government shouldn't be based on profitability, it should be based on services and outcomes. Adding all these stupid expectations dilutes the entire point of the endeavour.

For example, see people's obsession with Transit rates. Just make it free and extract the costs fairly across taxation brackets because even those who don't use it still benefit from the infrastructure it brings (for example, if you drive and someone transits, thats one less car on the road for you). But obsessing that public transit needs to run like a business is absurd because profit in this case doesn't actually provide any economic benefit as an incentive model.
Alright, no complaints here. What's preventing you from making your media-watchdog-watchdog? Aside from the dubious valprop, I guess.
I'm piggybacking off this comment in case people want to purchase one of these enclosures after reading your comment. I've tested a couple of these ASM2464PD enclosures since last November. If you buy one of these you're going to want to flash the firmware to at least the latest ASMedia one from January of 2024. This remedies some "random" unmount issues you could run into, particularly on Apple Silicon Macs. In my case, despite purchasing two identical enclosures, one had the disconnect issue and the other did not. But the firmware update has resolved it fully. Unfortunately, you'll need a Windows PC to flash the firmware. Running the flasher under Windows on Parallels didn't work for me. You do NOT need USB4 to flash the device, just a USB 3.2 USB-C port. A USB-C to USB-A cable may work too but I did not test that scenario.

Also, if you have the device plugged straight into your USB4 equipped computer, it will run in USB4 mode and you will easily see 3GB+/s benchmarks. If you have it plugged into a USB4/Thunderbolt 4 dock, it will run in Thunderbolt 3 mode. The speeds in TB3 mode will be limited to about 2.7GB/s or the same as Intel JHL7440 enclosures. So it performs no better than Intel Thunderbolt 3 enclosures in that scenario. However, the ASM2464PD enclosures run HOT. I bought a couple of Maiwo enclosures off AliExpress when you couldn't purchase these at retail in North America. If I had to do it again, I'd buy the OWC version. I've heard the OWC enclosure has extra heatsink accommodations to handle the heat. I bet they'll ship the latest firmware too.

Ask HN: Who would want Doximity / Houzz / LinkedIn data?
Hey y'all, we were able to scrape these harder-to-scrape sources, and now have access to profile data from these 3 social platforms.

We did a ShowHN for LinkedIn (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39980496) and was wondering - would anybody on HN use this data? Maybe for sales or r&d?
There is usually a way to get into your own account. It’s just harder than fibbing to a customer support agent in a chat box.
That's the bad alternative, for sure. I'm an anarchist (not the purge, but instead self organizing local communities kind). I genuinely believe that much of the role can be done by local community, reserving only the most violent and extreme things for a uniformed force.
> I hesitate to reply to people that hide behind throwaway accounts

My account is three and a half years old, has more karma than your account, and has an equal amount of personal information (zero). Calling it a "throwaway" is inaccurate, saying that I'm "hiding" is manipulative, and your further statement

> but sure, I'll bite

...is further evidence of emotional manipulation instead of reason and intellect.

> The very few attempts that we had in modern times were ultimately sabotaged by capitalism

Given the many non-free-market states (almost all of which were communist, but the point generalizes), every single one of which has failed, the overwhelmingly most likely cause is simply that they don't work. Any claims otherwise require a massive amount of evidence.

> Capitalism did sprout innovation, but that does not mean it's the best way to do so. Ignoring the inherent flaws around the profit motive doesn't help anyone.

Nobody, including in this thread, is "ignoring" anything. Sane people look at the free market system, realize that it needs some amount of regulation to remain stable, and apply that. Insane people suggest that communism is a plausible alternative to free markets - and nobody has been able to come up with another system other than those two.

> I don't think so, honestly.

You're incorrect, then. The point that you made was "[Capitalism] actually pushes innovation towards profits, not pure innovation" - and nobody claimed that capitalism incentivizes "pure innovation", so that's the very definition of a strawman argument.

> The reality is that a lot of research is done with the question of "how can we make money solving this problem?", rather than "how can we solve this problem?"

Again, nobody claimed otherwise - if you had read the comment you're responding to, you would have also seen:

>> the "side effect" of innovation happening as a result of chasing profits is literally how "capitalism" is designed to work

> Regulators that are corrupted in search of capital. It's a circular system.

This is both incorrect and irrelevant. Incorrect, because regulators are corrupted in search of money and power, not because of capital. Irrelevant, because those factors are present in every other alternate system. Free market systems are not unique in this matter, and so this is an irrelevant point to bring up because no alternative system will change this.

> Many do believe that democratically elect people should have more power than private institutions with zero transparency or checks. Not sure exactly how that "decreases the quality of human life". Where did that come from?

Again - you should read comments before you respond to them:

>> corrupt regulators that anti-capitalists would happily put into greater positions of power and give more power to meaningfully decrease the quality of human life

Putting corrupt regulators into greater positions of power is what "decreases the quality of human life".
thanks for linking to that; real or not it was a great and absorbingly-written story
There have been a bunch of projects that tried to do some variant this, and I'd love for it to exist, but I'd almost posit it's an impossible problem. Projects either find a way to handle the content-addressing, but then fail on coordinating nodes, or can coordinate but can't choose placement efficiently, or are just vaporware. I think the hard part is most personal computers are too unreliable to trust, and centralization, even for a homelab experimental user, is just too easy.

A few projects that tackled some version of this...

Nextcloud, Owncloud, and generally just NAS can be "dropbox but self hosted" but its centralized.

IPFS, Perkeep, Iroh, hypercore (npm), focused on content-addressed information, making cataloging and sharing easy, but fail to really handle coordination of which node the data goes on.

Syncthing, Garage, and of course BitTorrent, and a few others can coordinate but they all duplicate everything everywhere.

"Bazil.org", and (dead link) "infinit.sh" both sought to coordinate distribution and somehow catalog the data, but they both seem to have died without achieving their goals. I used infinit.sh when it was alive ~2016 but it was too slow to use for anything.

I'd love for something like this to exist, but I think its an impossible mission.
At the time ZFS on FreeBSD came with some pretty serious caveats regarding performance and memory usage. It was pretty clearly designed for servers and not really the sort of thing designed to run on your laptop, much less iPhone. Apple probably made the right choice for technical reasons alone.

Since then ZFS has improved and machines have become faster.

Wouldn‘t you want the most boring solution that‘s unlikely to change in the next 5 years for this use case? (AWS etc.)

With a company that did a big funding round it‘s very likely that it gets acquired, shut-down, products get sunsetted, API endpoints need to be changed in the next years.

...wow, kind of fascinating. wish there was a post-mortem on failed attempts at this. I would not expect this, of all problems, to be unsolvable in 2024.
Doesn't make sense to me as well, even when fully random after 30,000 signatures you would get around 60 signatures where the nonce starts with nine zero bits.

I suspect there must be something else at play here.

EDIT: the nonce is PRIVATE, so the scenario I described would not work because we wouldn't know for which of the 30k signatures the nonce starts with 9 zero bits. Makes sense now.
curious, how AI is plugged into this process ?
My understanding is while the US State Department might classify your US passport as "invalid" for travel to the DPRK, they can’t really stop you from applying for and getting a DPRK entry visa.

That said, please understand the responsibilities expected of visitors to the DPRK before you go.
I don't think the post is saying that at all. I think it's 100% possible for Iran to have made this a light strike, so to speak, but also it have shown us just how wrong we were about missle interception defenses. Iran, just like us, has spies and advanced weaponry. They would also be aware of how feasible missle interception is while regular Joes in America might have no idea.
There are some newer studies since then that are backing up this one. I ran across this one about a couple months ago and bookmarked it and then searched for others as well. One goes back 10 years ago so I was pretty much shocked because I've been looking into this (Schizophrenia) for quite a long time and somehow never came across this.
Too few nerds are willing to admit this. I use git all-day-long, but need to check stackoverflow to use the command line for anything more complicated than switching branches...and I'm ok with that. I save my brain space for more useful things.
>It almost like a concerted effort of bad faith actors to popularize a narrative.

That's not fair at all. This is simply how wars are fought in the modern era. We all wish we could have saved lives and infrastructure in Afghanistan, in Ukraine, etc. ad infinitum, but as democracies, we have to consider the material costs of war. And guerilla enemies can outlast us (as the Taliban did) by spending little and getting us to spend far more.
Sandboxie works pretty well.
> If your customers have phone number/username/password all leaked together...sure, I can believe that. Probably you should focus on preventing leaks of that size.

A substantial proportion of your customers' email + password pairs have been leaked before they sign up with you. Email and phone are already paired from data brokers, you don't need the dump.

A majority of SaaS providers and banks fail to check for previously leaked creds. Many of the same ones that think SMS is "perfectly good".
I love hearing that! I'll go check out that video. Thank you for sharing that.
But there‘s many providers that you pay actual money to (Like Fastmail) and if something goes wrong you, as a customer and not a potential ad target, are their top priority and you can call a human on the phone.
>I'm not sure how much value making something "not fugly" really matters.

Eh its still good advice. Far too often decent UX/UI criticism is waved aside as "who cares about making it pretty" and aesthetics and useability very often go hand-in-hand.
Its more of a recent thing, but I am a little worried about how common it is becoming. I've used my GV number since atleast 2007 for everything.

My bank accounts at banks I like have never complained about my Google Voice number and still don't. My bank account at Bank of America had some security check I needed to complete at some point and my Google Voice number that had been in their system for a decade I was told was not eligible anymore and I needed to actually use my real phone number.

I could almost put up with it if it was for things that need to be secure, but my 7-11 rewards account rejected my phone number at the gas pump a few years ago and Target rewards also started blocking my GV number.
> Stop being cute and just use semicolons.
Or stop being cute and let ASI insert the semicolon for you. ;)
I haven’t used a trailing semicolon in probably ten years.

Btw Douglas Crawford’s comments there didn’t age well. He’s wrong on every count (jsmin should follow JS semi rules, semi-less won’t break in the future, it’s only more popular than ever, etc) and just comes off as hot headed and “anyone who likes X is stupid but not me.”
and it of course doesn't show up in my tmobile account. Though mine is prepaid.
Crazy right? Even if it’s just suggestion, I’ll add that it worked for me the first time I tried it seconds after reading the post.
What is the point of such questions? Everyone who does an Int'l Relations class in college knows that eye for an eye is not the way any modern nation calculates its actions. It's all about the countries in your sphere of influence and what they (and sometimes, if they're democracies, their constituents) will accept and what they will bristle at you doing.
Resilio Sync (previously BitTorrent sync) is what you're looking for.
If you see what people post with their real name on newspaper comments, Instagram or Facebook it‘s clear that people don‘t care, or don‘t think that far ahead.

Unlike you and your smears, I make my positions clear and cite my sources for them.

If you mean by "anti-vaxer (sic)" my opposition to the Covid shots and mandates, then so be it. Many, including me, who have had older vaccines, especially from before the 1986 US liability shield and subsequent problems, are "anti-vax". Even though we still vaccinate our children.

"Covid conspiracist" must mean I cited lab leak possibility and reasons for considering it. Now that federal agencies agree, you should reconsider this lame smear attempt.

Your use of (misspelled) "spell words" (Roger Scruton's phrase) to curse me marks you as superstitious and thoughtless. Do better!
50M in offensive spend to burn through 1.3BN in defensive munitions seems highly effective to me. Great intel-gathering op.
Just the other week I used Nix on my laptop to derive PXE boot images, uploaded those to IPFS, and netbooted my server in another country over a public IPFS mirror. The initrd gets mounted as read-only overlayfs on boot. My configs are public: https://github.com/jhvst/nix-config

I plan to write documentation of the IPFS process including the PXE router config later at https://github.com/majbacka-labs/nixos.fi -- we might also run a small public build server for peoples Flake configs, who are interested in trying out this process.

And I'm saying, the "best engineer you ever worked with" is fully capable of avoiding the low, low bar of being fired for underperformance, even splitting his time 3 ways. So something about the story doesn't seem exactly right.
They claimed it's not needed because Apple hardware is very good; from [1]:

"The APFS engineers I talked to cited strong ECC protection within Apple storage devices. Both flash SSDs and magnetic media HDDs use redundant data to detect and correct errors. The engineers contend that Apple devices basically don’t return bogus data."

Note this continues for a bit and criticises that position. Also see the HN discussion at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11934457

I don't think it's a good decision either; obviously you can run systems without checksums (we've been doing so for decades) but "netter safe than sorry" seems to be the smart thing. It's pretty cheap to checksum data, which is why all the next-gen filesystems (ZFS, btrfs, bcachefs) do so.

> Eighty-five older individuals [41M/44F, age = 68 ± 4 yr; body mass index (BMI) = 26.4 ± 3.7 kg/m2] had one leg randomly allocated to a single (1)-set and the contralateral leg allocated to four sets of unilateral knee-extension RT at 8-15 repetition maximum (RM) for 10-wk 2 days/wk.

The participants are old and it seems the rep range was not strictly controlled nor was weight or RPE. I can't confirm it though since the full study is paywalled.
I mean, in a pinch you can just run a build to compile it down to a single JS bundle with zero external dependencies and then mount it into your app.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I noticed when the LLMs were trying to explain the prediction they would sometimes erroneously generate that the relation is linear when it was not. This happened when I removed the following part of the prompt:

Examples of this are available in Appendix J.

Sidenote, but all the experiments were ran with the API. There are some differences between the Chat and the API, for example the Chat can generate and execute code. I shared Chats since they are easy to look at and to try.

If you cynically believe no one ever is truly empathetic towards an outgroup, or can hold altruistic values on the basis that you yourself do not, then I think it's a sign of something - perhaps not rising to the level of psychopathy - but it certainly shows a lack of imagination.
You named some examples of non-paradigm shifts which also exist but there are plenty of examples of paradigm shifts. TCP/IP for example. LLM's. The Iphone. CRISPR. I could go on.

My point is paradigm shifts happen quite often. Evolution happens as well but is by no means the ONLY way as you're claiming.
