How valid are those statistics? Lots of medical procedures are just estimates.

And it’s not like the outcomes are random so that <1% bad outcome with unknown causes could be 100% for a gene she has.

Her fear isn’t completely irrational as perhaps her stats knowledge is useful to not assume perfect estimation of those odds.

I always found it interesting how people assume numbers are spot on when they are frequently just estimates or averages of multiple experts guessing.

It uses MacApp, which was one of the first frameworks that tried to handle all the boilerplate for you.

The basic structure of MacApp apps is a document, and the MacApp framework dispatches events to your handlers. It's been forever since I worked on a MacApp app, but I think that's the basic structure.

It sounds like the MacApp stuff isn't included, but it's probably out there somewhere.

I know at some point Adobe ported MacApp to Windows so they didn't have to rewrite everything. I expect at some point they replaced MacApp with their own abstraction layer.
Okay, but how do you know it'll be like that? The demand is for the product they are currently selling, not the options you made up.
Every once in a while I wonder where a post disappeared to. Eventually I worked out I was accidentally hiding them, found dozens of hidden posts I was interested in when I looked at my profile.

Correct me if I am wrong. My understanding is that hydrogen is an efficient way of getting energy only if it is used as a larger scale storage instead of batteries. Is it?
>The iPhone has a hidden accessibility setting

This isn’t “hidden”. It was even called out and demonstrated in the iOS 14 keynote.
In the two cases you have specified here, #2 is almost always the winner on performance. So much so that in performance-sensitive code, many people will (justifiably) default to it without a benchmark. Computers almost always operate in a memory bandwidth bound state, and have comparatively idle cores, and #1 is likely to just be wasteful of the resource that will almost always be the binding constraint.

Examples are ECS systems in games, and async run-to-completion runtimes on servers. HPC systems also tend to operate this way.

Also, in the interest of disclosure, I wrote the blog post you are responding to.
FCC Chairwoman Proposes Internet Routing Security Reporting Requirements [pdf]
There have been %90+ efficient atmospheric co2 direct to propane synthesis in labs for a couple years now. Trying to transport hydrogen seems insane given that we already have direct propane fuel cells that are highly efficient too. And an infrastructure for holding and transporting propane if it isn't available on site.
I hear people talking about intermittent operation of electrolyzers, but this sounds to me like the stupidest thing to do:

* Intermittent operation means you need to either build a huge buffer tank, or overprovision your transport infrastructure compared to your average production rate

* Your customers need to deal with a less reliable supplier

* Intermittent operation means shorter maintenance intervals, more stress on your electrolysis units and higher demand on your BoP

* When you've put down a huge capex, the marginal cost of not running the plant is quite high, so it makes sense to run 24/7 even at high energy prices
Btw, there are quite a few language that have nominal typing, but use the equivalent of structural typing in their unions.

Eg in Rust or Haskell you can distinguish `Option<Option<bool>>`, but not in these languages. I guess Python and Typescript are examples of these?
I wish the TypeScript team can actually make a good and fast compiler with type inference support. There are so many opportunities for minimization, optimization, conditional builds, instrumentation, and so on if we can utilize the type info from the TypeScript compiler. Unfortunately the TypeScript team never commit to requests like these, and only commit to idiomatic JavaScript transpilation.[1][2]

And because TypeScript is so complex and development is so heavy, third party attempts on making a type checker have never succeeded.[3]

I'm curious how far React Compiler can go without the access to TypeScript type info, and if they would invest in compiler tooling for TypeScript in the future. But considering Meta has Flow as their in-house alternative to TypeScript, they might not have the incentive in investing in the TypeScript ecosystem.

It's completely offline and your images never leave the computer. Unfortunately the models are a bit big, so the app is large.

In the future I'd like to add functionality to add/delete models as needed so you can manage how much space the app takes on your computer. That would also make it more feasible to support other models for text docs.
> Harmony Gold did nothing to actually promote anime, beyond hyping their own products. Robotech was the English translated anime that happened to be on air in the US

And because it was in syndication, smack-dab in the centre of at least one major TV network that had Saturday morning cartoons, it was in front of _tens of millions_ of young children.

That is why I highlight Robotech, instead of all the other series that came before it. Yes, Astro Boy and The White Lion came earlier, but they mostly showed on PBS and in non-standard time slots. I don’t recall them ever showing in the 0800-1100hrs Saturday morning time slots on any regular channel. But Robotech did.

Captain Harlock was available in Canada, but only in Québecois, and again - not in a standard time slot. You had to wake up at 0630hrs on Saturday morning to catch it on channel 12, which few kids did.

So yeah, I don’t dispute that the other factors you mentioned helped, but it was the time slot on Saturday morning which was the rocket fuel that made all the difference.
It's like Comic Book Guy made a website. Maybe it was a parody or inside joke I'm not party to. I still don't understand what point was trying to be made because it got lost in style and noise.
Going even further: what if it's for your upcoming lesbian wedding, and the company didn't know that? Maybe the CEO hates lesbians and this information somehow trickles up and you get fired later for a "bad culture fit"? Maybe you have a disability, a serious medical condition requiring FMLA leave, or something else.

Maybe you'll sue for it. Maybe all those activity logs become part of the evidence. Maybe there are other people who got fired under similar circumstances, and you form a class action... After all, who can say that the company isn't engaging in illegal discriminatory behavior based on those logs, simply because the logs were conveniently available and detailed?

Lots of big potential problems here for everyone.

Show HN: CNS – Cryptographic Network Service (key vault)
Hello Hacker News,

I built a cryptographic network service (CNS) to serve as a key vault. The idea is to deploy this on a dedicated host to effectively create a hardware security module (HSM) but one that communicates through an HTTPS REST API and can be extended to execute any cryptographic operation.

Features:

- Password hashing using Argon2id and signing JWTs with HS256. More cryptographic operations can be easily added as needed.

- Password hashing and JWT signing over HTTPS. Keys never leave the vault.
- Multiple clients (i.e. users of the keys in the key vault) with one or more keys.

- An admin CLI for key management tasks.

CNS is the first step in a larger project of mine to run my own "data center" from home and to self-host as much of my own software as possible.
Well then, let's roll this out to billions next then
Edit: someone more knowledgable responded with more accurate numbers about energy conversion- read their comment.

This still seems like it would only make sense when there is an energy surplus (e.g. excess solar generation) and it is useful to store energy in this form rather than a battery.
Hydrogen will always be needed to produce chemicals, as in the Haber-Bosch process that renders modern agricultural productivity possible:

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

Decarbonizing primary steel production could consume vast quantities of electrolytic hydrogen for reducing iron oxide ores to metallic iron.

Underground storage of hydrogen for subsequent combustion in gas turbines is also one of the most promising ways to achieve seasonal electricity storage, for e.g. powering a country through the winter with excess renewable electricity generated in the spring. There's currently a large scale pilot program for this concept under construction in Utah:

It’s just a global find and replace after the update though.
> I have a couple flights soon and I was thinking about picking one up to ease the cross-country trips.

And there's the rub... a $3,500 novelty for rare trips.

Why not consider one of the other portable VR headsets - they'll do everything you're going to want/need on a long flight but will save you $3,000...
On what CPU?
I had someone throw up next to me during the first few hours of a 10 hour flight after using Oculus Quest. Not fun.
I've never found the iPad form factor appealing. I once thought I'd like the iPad mini.

What I do own and use often is a Surface Go 3 with 10.5" 3:2 aspect touch screen--though I rarely touch the screen. Drawing diagrams with the stylus is nice though. I once solved a math problem with the 'pencil' on it. It's just the smallest, lightest laptop-like thing that runs a real OS (even if that's Windows/WSL2).
I mean, if you had purchased one Bitcoin in 2016 and held it until today you'd be be up at least $65,000. If that's snake oil then oil me up.
That plays it down far too much, because what's actually interesting here is that we have been able to identify three specific nearby examples.

> I think this does still miss the case where ID 4 is inserted after ID 5 however.

Yeah, and I would think that is very likely to happen given it would be the same timestamp.

So the whole thing still seems like a flawed, and unnecessarily complex solution to me, which should just use one simple unique sortable field to do all of it.

Like my intuitive guess is that maybe the solution could save maximally 20% - 40% of the same edge case, which doesn't seem like a good solution. It is not going to solve the problem. It's just adding complexity that can cause other problems.

So if postgres does the type of caching where it allocates 10 auto incr IDs to each process, which causes sometimes IDs being out of order, then normally it would be just enough to wait after these allocations have performed and index then, you are not going to miss any rows.

I would assume these processes have some form of timeout if there was a case where they couldn't assign one of those IDs, and then this ID would just maybe not exist or if there was a mechanism to reallocate that would work too, but none the less, I think some form of postgres sortable unique id would have to work by itself.
Haven’t used it in over 2 months?

Flying to Japan tomorrow and, although it’d be great for the flight, don’t want to lug it around.
Day 1 buyer, I am using it on flights. I expect gpt4o/gpt5 to be a killer app with it, basically it will have 180 degree realtime video I can chat about at low latency.

It’s not comfortable enough to code with, but it’s the best portable movie theater ever made for sure.
A very helpful alternative exists for managing patches and iterating on new patch sets of the same feature, although it's for the Linux kernel: https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/
This is why I'm using Electron. Lower effort to distribute for other operating systems.
The dangerous ones are these misguided IT departments.

Of course it's a balance, but think of the wasted productivity from a 2 minute timeout with stupid password requirements like that. That incurs a cost.

I bet they also have many other wonderful ideas and overly-bureaucratic processes that are strangling efficiency and preventing innovation.
Apparently you can return it after a couple of weeks, so might as well try it out?

So are the $500 VR headsets, by the way...
Pretty expensive solution to a simple detection problem? I feel like this is optimizing for the wrong thing.
(2023): "...Currently, the production cost of renewable hydrogen (using renewable energy) is at least twice that of hydrogen produced from fossil fuels. Hysata says its technology will slash costs and produce hydrogen “well below” a competitive target price of $2 per kilogram (approx. US$1.50/kg)..." - https://arena.gov.au/blog/hysata-to-build-next-generation-hy...
I used it pretty regularly for non-work things (primarily really great TV or movies I wanted to watch, or live soccer games). Found I couldn't really use it for work stuff (the interactions, though not fatal, aren't in a state that I found a net benefit currently).

Am I using it now? Not at all. But I blame a new puppy in the household upending my schedule rather than the Vision Pro. Big fan of the puppy release, though, definitely one of my favorite innovations as of late.
I feel like this announcement could use a more clear summary of the key point at the top.

It sounds like Remix will be discontinued and anyone using it will need to upgrade to React Router? Is that not going to be super super confusing?

I'm not sure if steel frames make a significant difference in comfort. If we measure comfort as deflection or vibration, then tire choice will have orders of magnitude more importance. When you have two springs in series, the combined spring constant is dominated by the weaker spring.

I race on a carbon frame with 30mm tires, and commute on a steel frame with 38mm tires for what it's worth.

Bike weight is irrelevant on flat roads. We should be obsessing over Watts/gram of drag, not Watts/kg if you're not a climber
I have it, and am barely using it. It can't do much of anything without being paired to a Macbook, due to being restricted to only running iPad apps (ie no software development tools, only a tablet-oriented browser with weird tablet quirks). This makes it not very portable in practice. The one place where I would want to use it is in the back seat of car rides, but it's entirely nonfunctional in that context.
I'd love it if someone paid me with a check.

Just trying to build cool stuff and put it out there into the world.

You are right that this makes sense to store an energy surplus. The reason you see such a large gap between "41.5 kWh/kg" and "33.6 kWh/kg" is that the latter value refers to what is called the lower heating value (LHV) [1]. The higher heating value (HHV) of hydrogen is 39.4 kWh/kg, and that's where the 95% efficiency claim comes from: 39.4 / 41.5 = 94.9%.

This has a good explanation of higher and lower heating values for chemical fuels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion#Higher_heat...

I’m still using it for watching movies on flights, pretty decent at that. Best in flight entertainment I have ever experienced.

I tried to use it for work too and that did not work out, for me the text was too fuzzy and it became frustrating. Reddit forum made me think I was nuts but recently has been shown to be deliberate to reduce screen door effect.
If a jury awards a trillion dollar judgment, that is not a long tail distribution. It blows up the distribution as it is an asymptote.
For flights it seems massive overkill.

When I was doing a lot of flying some years back I took the Google Daydream product -- a minimalist device that you inserted your phone into, and then used a small wireless controller.

Coupled with decent headphones it was a significantly better experience than the in-flight offerings, of course, but the logistics of it all meant I only bothered with this arrangement a handful of times.
Sounds about right and this is exactly the sort of thing I suspected would happen from the start.

Works great for me. GitHub issues and projects along with their integration with pull requests capture enough fidelity that I don't think you need anything else at all.

If you have lots of non technical people than it would require for them to be part of the GitHub organization hence paying more per user is just one downside however.
GPT-4o's image generation capabilities
I have a degree in history, I am well aware of the broad strokes, but you need to be able to align your theory with the historical fact. I'm not seeing the connections.

Your "bigger picture" doesn't make sense, as there have been capitalist societies with slave holding, and it's not just an "exception" - you're clearly thinking of things from a western context, and it was the west itself that had this exception. I don't know anywhere in the world that neatly aligns with your progression.

You're trying to explain history via the economy but in ways that don't align with the historical context. I can accept this is your personal belief, but I don't find it compelling.
Maybe, but the motivation is unclear. Lone wolves killing somebody with such wide difference in status just because, without a expected big reward to make worth the risk... is not so common.
