I think we have to take into consideration the "entertainment" aspect of lots of these theories. Like UFO theories, such and such monster, bigfoot, etc., they are for entertainment.

With weed I am mostly concerned with the second order effects. I know a handful of long term users (mid-30s to mid-40s with decade long use) and the pattern that I see is that all of them just don't care about their life.

They just never really had the drive to improve their situation in life to the point where it often is easier to get high instead of confronting problems.
Totally unrelated to the content of your post but labeling posts with "I'm [a teenager] and X" has always irked me. It either serves to undermine the content (older people immediately questioning the authority of a teenager) or people respond with meaningless praise ("Wow, great job! I was playing video games when I was your age!"). It also harkens back to the 2000s and 2010s when the industry was obsessed with "teenage savants" for some reason. So much money was wasted by being thrown at teens due to tech's obsession with youth and the errant belief in its ability to drive innovation.

Show HN: Spin up populated test databases in seconds
We are building Tonic Ephemeral - a purpose built test database that is easy and fast to spin up (or down) based on your dev and test requirements.

As engineers who worked on data at Palantir and Tableau, we've seen developers struggle to get isolated test databases when needed. We faced the same problem while we were building our core product at Tonic.

Based on this, we decided to build something for ourselves and then realized some of our customers loved it too. Today, we are sharing Tonic Ephemeral with the world. Briefly, Tonic Ephemeral manages test data infrastructure. In my experience, test data infrastructure is often very short-lived.

We built Tonic Ephemeral with two main use cases in mind, optimized for speed and cost:
-Test databases for automated testing
-Test databases for development

We launched today and would love to get some feedback from the HN community. Here are some quick links:

Other than that, I think having some concrete no BS examples from work really helps.
YouTube as we know it today is only possible with Google’s acquisition. YouTube burned through literally billions of dollars for many years until it became profitable much later.

Only likes of Google could have bankrolled it. Google did this intentionally to destroy all competition in the video space. Ultimately successfully.
In the same vein, since I heard about the US Army's 500 PS4 super computer I've thought it should be simple to plug multiple computers together to multiple their power.

Why cant I connect an old laptop, a few old cellphones and a hard drive all together and have one computer use the resources of the other devices? Collectively we have SO MUCH available ram just sitting around unused.
Same - I kicked the tired with "Image Scan OCR" from the windows app store I think.. it can do a whole folder (batch process) of pics and extract the text into the sidebar, which is nice.. but it would be nice if the text was exported into a searchable thing and the text was linked to the pic/filename it came from..

Of course I want to search for data in my photo downloads / screenshots folders and be able to pull / easily grab / copy the pic(s) to another folder or upload to a site and then paste the text..

I guess chaining this into notion / obsidian or similar would be beneficial as well.
> But which is worse - letting an abused child slip through the cracks, or take a child away from an innocent family

The foster system does not produce very great results from what I understand, including the chance that a child will be abused by a foster family.

The statistically likely outcomes for a child with a loving family plummet substantially if they go into the foster system

Unfortunately an abused child going into the foster system isn't likely to see their potential outcomes improve by a substantial amount

Therefore, taking a loved child away from an innocent family is way worse and it's not even close

Yes, "it's just another system of control". I used to partial to big-L Libertarianism. I'm not any more, mostly due to this flaw in the framing and the resulting conclusions. It essentially blesses corporations' extraconstitutional governing, by simply defining away the coercion (plus a healthy dose of ignoring that a "corporation" is itself a government creation). Then offers up individualist fundamentalism to cope with its glaring failings.

(These days I identify as small-l "libertarian" because I still believe individual freedom is paramount. And it still puts me in the appropriate "other-weird" bucket with most people, rather than their friendly-kool-aid or other-enemy buckets).

And when we look at that (proprietary Cincom Smalltalk) approach we find "simple mechanisms for spawning multiple running copies of the image and using those to perform various tasks in parallel" and "Objects are marshaled between the master and drone as copies, not as references."

That's not an example of comparable complexity to "… Python ha[s] to be able to handle some thread suddenly modifying something out from under another thread".
This is supposed to be a product , not a research artifact.
It seems like less well researched hunches on nuclear processes often led programs astray with bad calculations.

The Germans focused on heavy water for their reactors instead of just using graphite, because they miscalculated neutron absorption allegedly because of measuring graphite pieces rich in boron. The entire program was subsequently after the heavy water sabotages in Norways seemingly taking too long and was depriorititzed (Did the world luck out on small happenstances like this and Lenard?).

The Swedish program likewise initially overestimated the required amount of fissile materials needed by an order of magnitude and it wasn't clear until years later, could an accurate figure have made the program progress quicker before public opinion turned? (a lot of complex and expensive designs were worked out to produce at the higher rate)

> Per 10mm tire width increase, you are getting 10 watts more aero drag at 25 mph.

Interseting, where can I read more about this? I don't think this conclusion lines up with either the article, or the research from rene herse. Travel surfaced also matters quite a it, I could see that maybe being true in an idealized setting.

There is more to it. Tire needs to be in contact with ground to transfer power. A skinny high PSI tire will spend a lot of time bouncing. Just one example of how other real world factors can be more significant.
Doesn't the answer depend on whether or not the map is being mutated by other threads concurrently?

To be fair, even in Rust that answer would depend on the specific map implementation - for example if the map internally held a lock to expose a thread-safe non-mut interface, there's a race between when you remove/insert and when you read the size. That suggests that the whole concept of local reasoning about mutable state gets pretty messy pretty quick unless you stick to very basic examples.
See my other comment below, but all the things you're talking about work because English has a phonetic alphabet.

You can break 'be with ye' into 'b', 'y', and 'e', and drop the rest. In languages like Chinese which do not have a phonetic writing system, you cannot drop individual sounds within a word/character in a rule-based way like contractions.

Emojis are not a phonetic system, so unless you created an emoji for "they're", separate from the emojis for "they" and "are", you wouldn't have it as a word.
I haven’t found anything else that comes close and that’s why I haze myself over and over.

Yeah, it seems very strange to pin this on the hospitals. I wonder how significant their negligence was to lead to a 250 million judgment.

Given that CPS, like the police, have no obligation to help, it makes sense to error on the cautionary side of Do no harm.

Sacrificing the lives of some children and families for the greater good is not the type of utilitarian calculus the government should be engaging in.

That's not true at all. The Constitution only enumerates certain powers to the federal government, and quite clearly states that the government only has those powers. The Constitution has since been "interpreted" to mean that the government can do whatever it wants if it thinks it has a really good reason e.g. "the bill of rights is not a suicide pact", but that's not really a flaw with the text of the Constitution.

That doesn't solve the two-colors-per-cell challenge. But it makes for some very realistic terminal images.

For higher fidelity rendering, I think the next best option is supporting image protocols like sixels or Kitty inline raster images. I'm not sure how overprinting would compare to existing options.
Very nice! As a collector of classic all-in-one 80s home computers, I think the MSX2+ platform was the ultimate evolution of the 8-bit computer. I own a dozen or so MSX machines including a couple MSX2+ (including the Yamaha with music keyboard peripheral!). It's truly a shame the MSX3 platform never shipped as it would have been fascinating.

I think your expansion choices do get you very close to MSX3. Sadly, there's virtually no software that uses the enhanced capabilities of the v9990 graphics chip or the OPL4 audio chip. I don't use my MSX machines much as I also don't understand Japanese. I wish the MSX platform had shipped in the US so the OS was localized and more English software created. I'm sure MSFT must have built full English ROM versions in parallel with the Japanese ROMs - but there was no machine to ship them in.

In the realm of alternate-reality machines which could have existed but never did, my pick for "Ultimate 8-bit" would be a machine very much like you've assembled: v9990 for graphics, OPL4 for audio but instead of a Z80 for CPU, it'd have a Hitachi 6309 at 3.58 MHz (a compatible but enhanced version of Motorola's fantastic 6809 with an expanded instruction set (DIV!), higher clock and faster IPC). The 6809 is clearly the legendary Motorola 68000's immediate 8-bit ancestor, so it had a similarly elegant architecture with a highly orthogonal instruction set, powerful indirect addressing modes, excellent interrupt architecture as well as separate user and system stacks. This made it ideal for position-independent, re-entrant, multitasking code. It had much of the same DNA that led to the 68000 later being revered as "the most fun to program 16-bit CPU". I think it's pretty inarguably the best of the 8-bit generation - and the 6309 was the best version of it. Apple even initially planned for the Mac to be a 6809 machine, writing early versions of the Mac OS and apps on it. Unfortunately, none of the 6809 consumer machines that actually shipped (Radio Shack, Dragon, Thompson, etc) paired the CPU with anywhere near then-current state-of-the-art graphics or sound chips.

That would have been some machine if it had shipped in 1988 - basically an inexpensive 8-bit Amiga Jr. I imagine the demo scene would still be having a field day with it.

I think you'll begin to see more advanced particle systems and physical simulations for a start. And 3D Gaussian Splatting will probably benefit too (since compute will probably enable much faster sorting of splats). So it's not really that this stuff wasn't possible before...but compute will enable these techniques to run far faster.
