I tend to think in medical science that often anecdotes come first, then the "real" science. Not always populist anecdotes / wive's tales / etc, often times they come from nurses, doctors, or researchers of all kinds -- but sometimes they do come from sparse clusters of common folk sharing anecdotes with each other. Most do not pan out.

But the "hard" science generally needs a spark of intuition to help someone decide "maybe I should look into this", whether it's naive citizens positing that a certain practice/diet/supplement seems to help one of their conditions, or doctors noticing a pattern with a handful of their own cases, or researchers noticing something interesting but unexpected in vitro.

Again, most of these anecdotes don't pan out, but many do, and still today often against best-practice medical wisdom for systems we know less about.

The human body is massively complicated, and we're still just dipping our toes in a lot of new frontiers, and there are some areas which are very difficult to formally study.

Flies feel the rush of air from our oncoming hand and get out of the way, just like we look up from our book (phone, these days) when we feel air from the oncoming subway train we are waiting for.

The secret to killing flies is that they have to fly up first before they can fly away, so you (slowly) put your hands in front and behind them and "clap" them. They feel the air and lift off, right into the center of your oncoming hands.

I want to answer this cause I do use vs code. It has made some of the more "infrequent" and hobby tasks I do (think 3d printer firmware) manageable.

Show HN: Query S3 with SQL and build dashboards
I'm Mike, founder at Definite (https://www.definite.app/).

We have a ton data sitting in S3 / GCP. Most BI / dashboard tools need you to pipe that data into a SQL database / data warehouse, but it's expensive and a pain to set up.

We seen this enough times that we've built a way to directly query S3 and build dashboards without moving the data.

Under the hood, our product[0] uses DuckDB as a data warehouse. DuckDB has some amazing features that made it pretty simple on our end.

4 minute demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrrCQnfKEig

Here's how it works:

1. Add an S3 / GCP key and secret

2. Write SQL to access the data you care about (e.g. CSVs, parquet, JSON, JSONL, etc.)

3. Build a model on top of that data (we automatically create a basic model which you can tweak)

4. Share that model with non-technical business users (if they can use a pivot table, they'll be able to use Definite)

5. Ask our AI ("Fi") questions about the data. Fi can build reports and dashboards on top of S3.
The first line has two errors. First, 9/11 was on a Tuesday. Saying it was a Sunday is just foolish, as it happened at the start of a busy workday. Many of us still remember it like it was yesterday. Also, the line says 2011.

>You failed the marshmallow test [1]. There is a traditional, long-form article that presents a rewarding read.

I didn't downvote but reading an unknown article with unknown or non-existent payoff is not the same premise as The Marshmallow Test because the Stanford experiment explicitly specifies the "reward" upfront: ">, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time."

In contrast, reading unfamiliar articles to _maybe_ get a "reward" is a Bayesian Probability. As the one reads each sentence that's not engaging, the expectation that there might be a "reward" at the end is tainted by the fact that most long articles in the past that reader forced themselves to finish didn't present a worthwhile reward at the end.

Now, if JumpCrisscross explicitly told the reader that there would be a guaranteed mind-blowing insight payoff at the end of the long article before the reader started it, then the test of that patience would be closer to The Marshmallow test.

> His girlfriend was attending church. The church should be telling kids "This is not worth killing yourself over."

I think the problem is knowing what to do preemptively (which affects everyone who might help, not just the church). I am sure that if they asked a priest/paster/whatever they would be told that.

What can you do if they do not ask for. Preach a sermon on this specific problem? There are many variants and you need to get the message across. Maybe a general sermon on the risk of blackmail in general, and talking about where victims can get help, explaining the blackmailer is doing something wrong.

I think parents have a critical role to play. Talk about things like staying safe online, not trusting people, the fact that people assume false identities.

I know my teenage daughter does not disclose her real identity online. I have spoken to her about the dangers of doing so. I will give this as an example, not because I am worried that exactly the same thing would happen, but as an example of the general sort of things that happen. It might be something you say rather than a selfie, for example.

I agree. The law and culture is badly out of date.

When I thought about this in the past, I assumed they evolved in sea creatures first - where even very small flaps or mini wings/fins could improve hydrodynamics and/or swimming control, without needing to make a single jump from useless to being able to fly. But I've not looked into whether that is the case.

Edit to add two quotes from a quick search:

"Thus, early feathers functioned in thermal insulation, communication, or water repellency, but not in aerodynamics and flight."
- https://www.britannica.com/animal/bird-animal/The-origin-of-...

"Two major rival published theories are based on the roles of feathers in insulating the body against heat loss and in providing an aerodynamic surface for flight. However, because of the lack of knowledge about the roles and ecological relationships of protofeathers and of the most primitive feathers, it is not possible to test strongly either of these theories, or others as proposed in this symposium, against objective empirical observations to determine which is falsified or is the most probable"

This seems to be a perfect example of the 'flag' button being abused by people as a sort of "mega downvote" instead of using it correctly to mark offtopic, clickbait, flamebait, spam, or other inappropriate stories.
I think that was more of a wishful "should" instead of a prescriptive one.
Overlaying an rw filesystem can mean that some changes to the underlying rw filesystem have no effect, which many users might find to be pretty surprising behavior. Maybe it's to force users to think about what they're doing more, in case they install or update a package that the overlay overrides.

Tell HN: Architecture-first approach to cloud deployments
Three years back, I was working as the CTO at a late-stage company where our cloud infra had become too complex.

We were constantly launching in different regions. One of our worst headaches was launching multiple environments - it took weeks. And with acquisitions, we needed to stitch disparate systems together multiple times. We adopted Kubernetes and IaC but still managing deployments across environments was becoming a task. The IaC we were writing was quickly becoming outdated and adding to our tech debt. Our tooling was not standardized and different teams worked on different tech stacks, leading to duplication of effort and slow releases.

To tackle this, we built an "architecture-first" DevOps solution in-house. The core idea was that the architectural documentation should be the single source of truth. Any changes, whether in software or infrastructure, would be made at the architecture level and then cascade down to the environments. This approach promoted consistency, reusability, and a deeper understanding of the overall system design.

But we didn't stop there. We believed that architecture should encompass more than just infrastructure and microservices. Things like alerts, observability, monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, database schemas - all of these should be part of the architectural model. This would allow for a uniform, automated way to set up and manage critical operational concerns across the board.

Our experiment was successful within that organization, so we decided to turn it into a product - Facets.cloud. We got early validation, raised funding, and built one of the largest feature sets in the DevOps space.

However, through conversations with companies of all sizes, we identified two key problems:

1. We had built an overly complex enterprise product, without enough user feedback.
2. Developers, especially those at early-stage startups, needed something more self-service and simple.

So now we are releasing Facets 2.0. The focus is now on quick, clean cloud deployments optimized for the workflows of early-stage startup developers.

While being still 100% committed to our "architecture-first" approach, we'll be stripping down the platform to create something any developer or DevOps engineer can easily use.

I don't have a trial version ready just yet, but I'd love to get your early feedback on the idea. We've also opened up slots for our Beta program, and I'm eager to collect as much user input as possible.

Here's a little more information about the idea - https://www.facets.cloud/facets-for-startups-2

Dragons When Folder Merging on macOS

It says 200 tons of gold coins. I don't know anything about coin composition but even at 12k gold that would be billions of value in the raw material.
It actually makes a lot of sense. A lot of pagers operate on lower frequencies (~100 mhz instead of 400 or 700) that can penetrate way deeper than the higher frequencies used by modern phones. Plus the data rate is substantially lower, which acts in the favor of getting reception.

So yeah it makes a ton of sense. These are very different devices operating using different frequencies and protocols.

This gets to a dimension of the problem that is often overlooked: Git web viewers, like every other code viewer we use carries its own notion of the position of the tab stops.

I don’t think it fits the definition of a cargo cult. It’s about convenience. I can use a <header /> and the screen reader announces it as such. I could do that with ARIA, but why put in the extra effort? To use a more gross example, I could make a div into a text input or even a form with contenteditable, a bunch of CSS I’d otherwise get out of the box, and a lot of JS. Yet it would require much more work.

The only thing I’ll grant you is that my first example’s benefit is a marginal difference, but there is a benefit nonetheless. It was also probably pushed as much for the screen reader benefit as it was for the ability to parse and extract information if I’m feeling cynical, but I digress.
Exactly. If you have a 100% effective treatment for a disease, but only 10% are able to maintain the regimen, you have a 10% effective treatment. The distinction is obviously critical at the individual level, but at the policy level you need to know what the actual result of a recommended treatment will be.

It’s like how condoms are 87% effective because the rate includes people who don’t use them consistently. Knowing that they’re 98% effective when used properly is important knowledge to the individual, but the effective rate is more important to anyone advising policy of what advice to give.

The price comment was not about "price is low"; it was about it becoming SO plentiful that the overhead in metering the cost would exceed the revenue and it could be just an on/off subscription

This HAS happened with telecom services, where long-distance calls used to even be sometimes only one town over, and were charged by the minute. Toll-free (800)- numbers were a big deal. Now, the network is so successful and calls so numerous that it is literally too cheap to meter - you either subscribe or you don't. Per-call metering is only the case in some international calls.

Nuclear electric power could have become this ubiquitous and successful, where the overhead of per-kilo-Watt metering outweighed the revenues. It would have merely had to scale up several more orders of magnitude. THIS was the prediction.

Obviously, although nuclear did have some success this did not happen. The costs of commissioning, building, and decommissioning individual plants were just too high.

We cannot conflate the actual modest success, producing barely 20% of power in the US in 1995[0], with the prediction of nuclear succeeding like telecomm.

It did not happen.

I think it could yet happen with some of the new small (neighborhood-scale), self-contained, inherently safe designs. But that is another prediction.
