Really appreciate the insights!! I think JSX/TSX are a lot more powerful than most data representations because 1) you can modularize and import sub-circuits really easily and with an effective known pattern (the npm registry installation pattern) 2) you can compute pretty complicated data from relatively simple React components, e.g. <DualInlinePackage pad_count={6} /> produces 6 pads with standard spacing. I also think it's really powerful you can add type validation (e.g. any odd number is invalid for pad_count). I'm counting on smart people creating awesome patterns/higher-level-components just like they did with React for web!

What sucks about Lyme disease are the possible long term effects that an infection can have. Some people believe it's because of bacteria that stay hidden in your body, but I think the more likely explanation is an auto-immune reaction. There is no treatment for these long term effects. (It's called "post treatment lyme disease syndrome").

What VR is lacking is content. Apple needs to make a user friendly 360 camera in an approachable price range. I take a 360 camera whenever I travel and rewatching 360 videos in a VR headset can put me back in time. Being able to relive the moment I saw the total eclipse or walking through my childhood home is not something a phone camera can do.

Currently the image quality of consumer grade 360 cameras are webcam level and having to edit and export 360 content then side loading it to a VR headset is not a very user friendly experience.

90% of NYC's subways were built by two private companies in the 19teens and 20s, then they got regulated and their fares got capped until in the late 1940s they were going bust and the city "nationalized" them.

The streetcars between Queens and Brooklyn got killed this way too, and not even replaced.

It's horrible. But public transit yo!

It's funny. In the U.S. the federal government doesn't get to nationalize industry thanks to the Steel Cases. The States don't do it either because they compete with each other. But the cities do do it, and what can they nationalize? Public transportation is what they have nationalized. In other countries it tends to be the inverse. So Buenos Aires has an amazing privately-run public transit (bus) system that is the envy of any American city, and that's because in Argentina they nationalize big companies, not piddly ones, because the politicians who can do it are at the federal level, and they "dream big".

I wish we could put all public transit in the U.S. in the private sector. Then finally we would have real public transit options.
I'm not planning to share them because they are so complicated and need to be edited and standardized one by one. I'm focused on creating scanned assets right now.

> The JavaScript object will be garbage collected as seen fit by the corresponding JavaScript run time irrespective of whether the associated node remains attached to its document.

Nope. In practice, the DOM node has a backpointer to the JS object that it's wrapped by which keeps it alive. This is known a "DOM wrapper" and exists in every browser engine. Here's Chrome's internal documentation about this feature, showing the property survive after a GC cycle: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/thir...

The term "expando properties" was invented at Mozilla (or maybe even Netscape?) for exactly this reason; they needed a name for extra properties added to a JS DOM wrapper that would be kept alive as long as the DOM is. It's been part of Gecko for close to 20 years at this point.

> That said as a few other people pointed out, the key is iteration, hot-reload and other things. Given the choice I'd probably do(and have done) a Rust based engine core where you need performance/stability and some dynamic language on top(Lua, quickjs, etc) for actual game content.

I fully agree that this will likely be the solution a lot of people want to go with in Bevy: scripting for quick iteration, Rust for the stuff that has to be fast. (Also thank you for the kind words!)

Tim Cook is Apple's Ballmer.

Great with the numbers, bad with innovation.

They need a Nadella -- e.g. someone who follows and navigates trends with great skill.

Cook knows he needs to innovate, but he doesn't know how.

I honestly think he follows the rumors moreso than the rumors follow him.

Media: Is Apple going to do a smartwatch?

Cook: Hey guys, we should do a smartwatch.

Media: Is Apple going to do a car?

Cook: Hey, guys. Maybe we should do a car.

Media: Is Apple going to do a headset?

Etc. etc.

The smartwatch worked out. But honestly, I feel that was moreso accidental low-hanging fruit.

Like Ballmer, Cook has done an amazing job maximizing shareholder value by good old financial execution.

But, in an industry like tech, you can only live off of old products for so long.
They're not telling us, so I'm assuming what's required for a very small, efficient car. It could easily be 50-100% more than that.

The problem is we would have a lot less games and the games we would get would not be as fun. Rust appears to have the following problems:

1) As the article pointed out, game developers are less productive in Rust. This is a huge problem.

2) Game budgets are not going to get bigger. This means that if Rust reduces productivity, games are going to be less polished, less fun, etc. if they are written in Rust.

3) Game quality is already fine. 99% of the games I play have very few noticeable bugs (I play on an Xbox Series X). Even the games with bugs are still fun.

Basically, gamers are looking for fun games which work well. They are not looking for perfect software which has no bugs.
What I mean to say is that when you start arresting homeless drug users for littering and public defecation and removing encampments due to environmental issues (which Portland has started doing since they can't just do it for being homeless), the same activist types come out and accuse the city of the same things as the drug legalization people.

You can say "oh well just enforce public disorder laws" and I actually agree with you, but the same groups behind drug legalization do not.

I spoke at the Portland city council hearing on this issue on Wednesday and the majority of groups there were criticizing the city's approach to removing individuals who were leaving needles or blocking sidewalks or setting up drug tents on school property.

The drug legalization is a dog whistle for what they really want.

A Different Approach to Mobile Coding
Decriminalization has never been about compassion or freedom. It just is an easy escape from social responsibility allowing parts of the population to indulge into extremely detrimental behavior to themselves and others. The rest can just look away "because it is legal".

Yes, alcohol is bad too. Yes, weed is bad too.
Yes. You are the one that's trying to argue that pushing past clinical trials is riskier than fundamental research, so I don't understand your argument. You have to argue that clinical trials are riskier, not that they are risky at all. I suspect we would agree that fundamental research is actually far riskier.

Universities and research labs are really quite good at coming up with drugs that are good candidates for clinical trials, so the issue is not an issue of development, it's an issue of aligning incentive and finance to get them to pay for trials, which is not currently possible. This is a problem that is likely solvable.

Showing that this is not true would require you to show that private pharmas are somehow able to come up with drugs that are more likely to survive clinical trials, which is not something I believe to be true. There is some evidence on this subject - in fact, a rising percentage of drugs are invented in academia (more than 30% as of 2020), and then transferred to for-profit pharma companies that then run trials, which indicates that academia can produce new drugs more efficiently (see for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8552459/), and that academic-invented drugs are as likely to succeed even when early trials are largely ran by academic institutions (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6226120/)

Indeed, recent data shows that a growing majority of biotech drugs are acquired from universities, and in turn those are a growing majority of newly approved drugs - a large and very profitable part of the pharma industry nowadays is to get universities to come up and screen drugs for you, and then to run them to trials. This arbitrage opportunity indicates to me that yes, publicly funded research seems to be a very efficient source of drugs.

This is even clearer when you realize that only 20% of public research funding goes towards drug development - most of it goes to the fundamental research that makes it possible to come up with drugs in the first place, something that pharma companies will never do.
The source of the issue is that opioids exist.

Opioids are useful but they have literally been a thorn in the side of mankind's existence since their discovery by Europeans (arguably even before). They have caused no end of trouble. People criticize Asia for its handling of drugs but they do that because they've been through exactly this. Literally exactly this just a few hundred years ago. They fought wars over it and it arguably caused the Communist revolution in China, and the ending of an almost 5000 year old unbroken polity. These are smart, accomplished , compassionate cultures and they've basically all settled on the same solution.

Ask HN: How do you sift through new research?
I work in computer vision and regularly follow Arxiv for new papers. Sometimes I find a gem, but a lot of the papers I find are from curated sources who do a bit of sifting.

I’m curious: how do you sift through new research? Do you have automated methods to highlight papers by keyword? Or something else? Do you rely heavily on curation?

The first church in the article (second after the banner picture), "Santa Maria Immacolata"[0] has an important historical meaning.

It is located in the village of Longarone, which was completely wiped out in 1963 due to the disaster of the Vajont dam[1]. Tl;dr the dam should not have been built there because of the geology of the area, but they did anyway; an enormous piece of the mountain fell into the lake, causing a huge wave. Nearly 2000 people died.

The church was built as part of the rebuilding of the whole village.

The video omits crucial details aside from the physical act of removing the original and soldering the new NAND. I know for a fact failing to copy original details results in failure to restore iOS with specific error codes, so I wonder what this video did. I've successfully done this many times back in the iPhone 6S days where the original chip was desoldered, read by a Chinese-made reader, and finally the identifiers cloned to the new chip. I sold phones upgraded from 16GB to 128GB for a meager profit, but it was for fun.

How can the new chip work if the original chip is milled off completely? I would be surprised if you could read all necessary identifiers through iOS/USB software before milling unless the device was jailbroken and read that way. Seems like a big oversight for Apple not to implement simple countermeasures to make it a little bit harder, or that Apple would undo protections they had back in the iPhone 6S days.
You’re forgetting about foveated rendering. You don’t need the 4k60 stream if you’re not looking at it, and you can only look at one screen at once. I think it’s doable.
You would then need to make sure to contact your regulators to make sure that open source companies are allowed to use "industrial standards". All open source alternatives I know do support industrial standards (ODF). It's just Microsoft office which doesn't use them.

Or like in Australia, "We outsold Camry!" - and then when the media pulled vehicle registration data, well, no, they hadn't. Not even close.
Alcohol criminalization didn't go so well though.

The need is for a nuanced policy that recognizes that people have bad habits, vices, and addictions, and that you can't stop them from that or else they'll just do it harder, like a petulant child. But there's a difference between all alcohol must be legal all the time, and limiting sales to no hard liquor, beer and wine only at certain times. And then, what do people see as the government's role in all this. How much should be up to the government and how much should be cultural norms enforced socially?

Ah, but they can.

For example, readers can easily verify that this statement is lie by going to that last submission and see that there was no fight (except Hexa himself fighting into the void):

So, once again, where is the evidence for your accusations?

(Incidentally, where you say "23 of your comments and 21 of your stories" -- a figure I can't confirm -- I'm sure none of those happened in the last few months or are related to Nix in anyway, as my involvement have exclusively been technical, ergo they are nothing to do with "[using] Lobsters to fight with the NixOS project", and if they were about "lots of off-topic stories" then I would have been banned long time ago.)

Git does not tamper with file encoding. Only way file content modification can happen is automatic CRLF conversion, but that’s a local setting, not affecting the public archive, unless .gitattributes is present, not the case here. It is common sense that one should never enable this setting globally on your system, precisely because it can tamper with content unexpectedly.
My wife has the opposite side of this problem coin. Her gmail address (which she does use) has virally spread through a family and circle of friends who all believe it relates to a person in the US who we are entirely unconnected with in any way. Attempts to get them to sort this out always fail because inevitably the address gets re-added to some thread or other and starts spreading again.
Because AI is used in the gaming industry to mean a stand in for human behaviour, the use of the term AI has been quite haphazard in my view.

AGI would be real intelligence, different entirely as you said. AI should be a system trying to reproduce intelligent behaviors but not actually be intelligence.

So in my view machine learning is different in that it is not attempting to emulate intelligent behaviours, it's advanced versions of machine tasks. Invaluable technique providing a lot of value, but to call it even AI I am not sure I agree with. ChatGPT is attempting to approximate something intelligent beings will do, conversation, AI makes sense there. But mant AI labeled products are perhaps better categorized as advanced machine behaviours, not attempts at emulating intelligent behaviours.
