I get your point, but the idea that life originates on Asteroids and populates planets on impact is, imo, likely. It does shift the question to “how did it start there” :)
I've been frustrated by shitty auto-generated SEO spam for many years. I really don't see a difference at this point.
Mars had 3/4 billion more years to develop, compared with the Earth. Mars formed first, and cooled first due to its smaller size.

One of the outstanding problems in astrobiology I mention is that the Earth was inhospitable until 3.8Gya, and the oldest fossils of presumably DNA based life (since it matches existing life we can study) was 3.7Gya. Mars was hospitable ~4.5Gya. So either life emerged IMMEDIATELY on Earth and did a complexity speed run before slowing down and remaining stagnant for the next billion years or so, or it emerged on Mars first and Earth was seeded once it was cool enough.
If I'm not mistaken Fermat's last theroem isn't even featured in the proof. Like nowhere did I see a^n+b^n=c^n referenced in the proof,save for the end of page 1 and 3, but it's never featured in an equality. Just 'this implies this trust me bro'.
And if you're from a little-further-south it is (naturally) Washington DC's version of the same thing (Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia)

None of this stuff is settled. It's always in court, and audio and video are frequently treated completely differently from each other.

What about setting up a camera on your roof aimed at your neighbor's bedroom window, and livestreaming it online? What about secretly recording the conversation that you're having with someone in a restaurant? What about recording the comings and goings of the people who enter or leave a gay bar, or a mosque?
This simply doesn't follow. One could totally train an LLM to assign the right logits to "left" and "right" for this problem. I suspect its a problem with the training data.
Just remember that the previous 15 years were a historically unprecedented low interest rate environment.

We also have AI based efficiency boosting tools and greater offshoring to contend with
It is really hard to find anything you can do in one that you can't do in the others as our economies are so coupled. Where there are differences it is not economics but moral policies (gambling, drugs, prostitution...)
See, perhaps, explorer/villagers/town planners: https://blog.gardeviance.org/2023/12/how-to-organise-yoursel...

Clearly this basic idea crops up in numerous forms. Part of the point of this specific scheme is that it is circular: once a given thing has reached the town planner stage, it has become some combination of pervasive and dependable and well-understood, ready to be used as one of the foundations for future exploration.
The best documentation on the mental model of using Rama is the last page of the tutorial, linked below. However, I would recommend going through the whole tutorial rather than starting there.

Denser housing can easily be net zero from nearby solar panels. Additionally, denser housing is much more energy efficient, requiring less overall energy, but this is kind of a minor impact. Once we get to solar + batteries powering most of our energy needs, cutting space heating energy needs by 20%-50% doesn't matter much.

Are there people that arn't using Stremio+RD?
Yeah I never liked the panspermia as a solution to how life started so quickly on Earth because it just kicks the can down the road. But hey it has been speculated that DNA may be almost 10 billion years old https://phys.org/news/2013-04-law-life-began-earth.html. But this is just a thought experiment, I am unsure if we know how long it takes for DNA to double, nor do we know if the rate would be constant over time. For example if proof reading mechanisms evolved later thus slowing down the rate of change. But it's fun to think about. Too bad Google search is so useless I used to be able to go down these Rabbit holes finding all sorts of information but now it's almost impossible, Google just gives superficial AI answers these days
It's the same as with Photoshop. Sometimes, stuff doesn't work, but it's the best that's around.
I like it. Good work.

Riot Games will rollout their vanguard anti-cheat to league of legends.

for those not in the loop, Vanguard is the anti-cheat Riot Games created for Valorant, their competitive first person shooter. The issue with Vanguard is that it's quite an aggressive anti-cheat, it runs on Ring 0 as a windows kernel driver. Hence, why some people call it a "rootkit".

I agree. Maybe these driving aids should force better following distances and max speeds when its dark outside, especially if it ultimately relies on human vision to properly detect and react to a stopped object.

I'd still say a human would probably have also had an unsafe following distance and speed in this scenario.
The streaming provider does not have the right to show you the movie in your country. So if you're using a VPN to stream I guess both you and them are guilty of copyright infringement, which is a crime more heinous than murder.

Just torrent the movie then, it's cheaper and more convenient again.

This is not what people who are obsessed with money do.
All science is the process of kicking the can further down the road.
Which is an important advance because genesis of life on Earth is getting harder and harder to answer as we gather more evidence. Pushing it to another environment (and longer time frame) does in fact solve a number of problems.
To be clear, she says it would have been wise to buy gold in 1928, then commit a crime by not turning it in in 1933, and to have held it until today.

I reject anyone who says "This illegal investment would have been better than ..."

If she is going to compare historical investments, she at least needs to compare investments that were legal at that time.
Asteroids as originators of life, that impacting both, would be the more likely “root cause” of having life on both planets

Houston Astros|Houston,Texas| Baseball Research Analyst|Full-Time|ONSITE

The Astros are looking for a new analyst to join our R&D team. We deal with every aspect of the game, from supporting coaches developing minor league players to determining where a left fielder should stand given a certain batter/pitcher matchup. We have mountains of data, and we have an organization that is willing to listen to the analysts and try things out. If you're interested in feeding terabytes of data into powerful machines and leveraging your considerable cleverness, education, and domain knowledge to make a 3" ball go faster- we want to hear from you.

We're a generally Bayesian group, and so we're looking for someone who has experience with some Bayesian tools. On the python side we use quite a bit of numpyro (and we love JAX) and there are some RStan models floating around too. Really we want someone who thinks it's fun to stay at the cutting edge. We have a ton of data, we care about out of sample prediction, and I haven’t seen a p-value since I started working here (which is a good thing).

I found this job on a HackerNews Who’s Hiring post 8 seasons ago and I have really loved it ever since. There is freedom here to explore new ideas and technology. There is organizational buy in- If you can make a case for a course of action, you might see the team try it out on TV that night. I have 2 World Series rings with my name on them and my kids love coming to work (if I stuff them full of cotton candy). You don't have any game time duties, but you do get free tickets.

Knowing about and loving baseball is not a requirement, but it would be a plus. Don't let that keep you from reaching out. If you want to apply or just ask any questions, feel free to shoot me an email (rferguson at astros dotcom)

Privy | Onsite NYC (Preferred) or Remote (US/Canada) | Hybrid Product/Eng, Frontend, Fullstack, Backend Roles | Full-Time | https://privy.io

Hi, I'm Asta, CTO at the digital identity startup Privy. We build an authentication and cryptographic key management SDK that hundreds of companies integrate in order to onboard users (5M+ in the last 8 months alone) onto products built with blockchain infra and distributed systems.

We believe that when users own cryptographic keys, we shift the status quo so that users control more of their data and assets online. Privacy is fundamentally about ownership and revocation. User experience is our North Star, because users won't compromise on UX.

We're a small, high-ownership team building a product with real usage (>2M MAUs, massive transaction volume) that developers love. We've raised $26M from Sequoia & Paradigm. We ship constantly - multiple production releases per week.

Why does an instruction crossing cache lines have anything to do with invalidation/discarding? RISC-V doesn't require instruction cache coherency so the core doesn't have much restriction on behavior if the line was modified, so all restrictions go to just explicit synchronization instructions. And if you have multiple instructions in the pipeline, you'll likely already have instructions from multiple cache lines anyways. I don't understand what "current cache line" even entails in the context of a misprediction, where the entire nature of the problem is that you did not have any idea where to run code from, and thus shouldn't know of any related cache lines.
Me too but - remember the jobless recovery from the early 1990's? This time around feels a lot more like it did then. Corporate profits are soaring, Wall Street is happy - there's lots of money being made. Except employees have been left out of the party and are on the outside looking in. This feels very much like that. Then again, that era presided one of the largest periods of economic growth in US history! If history repeats itself then we're all going to be in for a great time in about five years! Of course, that may be of little help to you if in the meanwhile you've depleted your life savings and have been foreclosed on.
Our government moves slowly, by design.

Trust me, you don't want to see a fast-moving American government.

Indeed. All life is trade offs, which means it is interesting to me when people claim there are no trade offs. All resource usage competes with other resource usage.

Why don't we just teach kids music by having them buy a cheap $3 plastic recorder and simply glue a mic to it that connects to a 13-minute-and-48-second delay line which feeds into to an expensive pair of noise-cancelling headphones that they wear during all practice sessions?

Easy peasy. :)
It seems very low likelihood that a life-bearing chunk of Mars arrived and seeded life here.

What are the chances that some type of single-cell critter(s) from Mars were robust enough to:

1) Survive the trip here with the extreme cold of space, AND

2) Survive the searing heat of entering earth's atmosphere, AND

3) Survive conditions on earth, when they were adapted to the martian environment

And that's all premised on a meteor strike on Mars ejecting something with enough velocity to not only escape Martian gravity, but then miraculously happen to score a direct hit on earth (a miniscule angular target to hit).

This combination of low probabilities seems to result in an explanation of lower probability than the alternative (life originating on earth) that it's attempting to explain, and of course life originating on an earth-like Mars in same time frame it would have needed to develop here (or maybe also did develop here) doesn't add much more than historical interest.
Never seen it happen. Seems like myth, who uses hardlinks/symlinks in source projects? And is pragma once not implemented based on inpdes?

Anyway false negative identity tests is not a problem like false positive identity tests are.

I also initially misread this as "Quaker News", but don't understand what you mean by "if the revival behind it played out". Could you elaborate on what you mean by that?

I was raised as a Quaker. I assume you were referring to the religion but maybe you were referring to something else.

> the very least--the overwhelming positivity (by HN standards -- even considering the typical Rust bias

As someone who has the "Rust bias", I feel like it's a bit of an open secret that a _lot_ of Rust developers don't actually need the extreme low-level performance that it offers and use it more because of the quality of life things (including some of the features in Borgo, but also tooling like cargo, rustdoc, etc.). I've said for a while that a language that focused on this sort of "developer experience" but used a GC to be a bit more flexible would probably be enough for a large portion of Rust developers, and pretty much everyone Rust developer I've talked to agrees with this (even if they aren't in the portion that would use this).

It's also pretty common for me to see people asking why someone would use a low-level, C++ language for something like web development, and I think the explanation is pretty similar; people like a lot of what Rust has to offer besides the low-level C++-like semantics, but there isn't something higher-level that offers enough of those features yet. Probably the language that would come closest to this is OCaml, but stuff like the documentation and "multiple preludes" are exactly the kind of thing that add friction to getting up and running, which is something Rust has invested a lot of time into reducing.

Coolshapes-react: 100 abstract shapes with gradient for design and dev project
You're asking the right questions. Welcome to developing an awareness of the sprawling surveillance industry!

In short there are vanishingly few privacy laws in the US, and the few that do exist are mostly undermined by fake consent in EULA/TOS documents-that-nobody-reads. Even when a company somehow does manage to run aground of some law, they generally just end up with financial slap on the wrist while keeping their ill gotten data gains.

The best time to push for meaningful privacy legislation was over the past 40 years when all of these surveillance databases were being built out. But the second best time is now, especially as more people gain awareness of how pervasive and invasive this totalitarian industry has become. The records being created and kept by this industry would make a dyed in the wool Stasi agent blush, and Americans need to start rejecting this fallacious narrative that things that are reasonable for individuals to do at a small bespoke passing scale remain legitimate when scaled up to industrial levels.
I miss my geocities site. I found it's path the other day and sadly isn't in the snapshots taken that I've seen. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

I don't buy that. If you opened up excel and put the words "One" and "Two" in some cells no-one would be interested in your article about how excel can't add numbers together when it failed.

Somehow because the interface is language, this new tool lets people think that they don't need to learn how to use it effectively and when it doesn't work they way they want it's the model's fault. This article isn't about adversarial techniques it's literally about the person not specifying what they want in a way that the model is going to generate the results they are looking for.

The platform engineering department has become the unofficial developer experience champion, and we have a reputation for innovation and leadership within Apiture.

We need someone who can handle supporting stable legacy systems alongside modernizing others. We write Go, Node.js, and Python code to automate things, and use Terraform and a bit of Cloudformation for infrastructure code. We're an AWS shop, with a healthy mix of EC2 servers, SaaS components, and Docker/K8s.
