This is for showcasing/simulating a fly environment, not for using during an actual flight. Nobody would risk such a thing during an actual flight, not now and not for the foreseeable future, for obvious reasons (safety, motion-sickness etc).

It is a product for the sake of being a product. Literally a "meta-product". There is no real practical use out of commercial exhibitions. Nobody is gonna use this thing to decide which class to book or anything, and using such a thing for real training is laughable unless this is where we are with cost-cutting. It is an absurdity born out of marketing boredom and a desperate need (from meta's part) for making some product with VR headsets. Only thing I am surprised is that AI is not mentioned. Such "products" are usually "AI-powered".
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow, but I understood your reference today.
Telling voters that their tax money will be used to build housing to be sold to speculators will absolutely not work. Even if in the long-term that somehow could end up helping people, no one will vote for this absurdity.

You're asking for people to fund the infrastructure speculators thrive on with their money, on top of that you want to depress housing prices which another large cohort of society will vote against, politically your proposal doesn't make sense.

If you cared to read the Wikipedia entry I shared the approach the Swedish government took was to pay 2/3 of the new constructions and sell those houses to people who would pay them back in 30 years, it's not "public housing" as you assumed...
We already have infrastructure to handle Thanksgiving travel. Humans react very strongly when you take something away from them.

You’re right! Now I feel silly for missing the joke.
I fall under the idea that yes, everything is natural, we are not special no matter what secrets of the universe we uncover and wield . Even our robot descendants , if they ever come to be, are natural too. Just because we have the ability to acknowledge material selection does not mean we are except from it
Thanks for that, I actually don't know where I got that block of text but have been holding on to it for a while.
Various illnesses are caused by promoter genes. These are genes that serve no purpose but they specialize in promoting themselves, so they spread through a population even though they serve no evolutionary fitness goal (often they bring illness). A good book on that topic:

Genes in Conflict: The Biology of Selfish Genetic Elements

by Austin Burt and Robert Trivers

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0674027221/

However, referring to the original article of this thread, it is also possible that the same genes that give us depression also give us something positive, such as creativity.
Also, it differs from coffee in that it contains many mineral salts that avoid the process of dehydration caused by coffee, which just makes you pee a lot and doesn't have these beneficial mineral salts.
Well over half of the population owns or rents a detached or semi-detached home with plausible driveway charging. Yes we need to work on the people who don't have that option, but it is totally valid to observe that a huge chunk of people only need public chargers a couple times a year.
I think there's appetite for it to happen. There's a new rail line going in between the LA area and Las Vegas. Amtrak is now running a new route between Minneapolis and Chicago. I'm sure there are more like this.

Certainly there are challenges with rail in some of the more sparsely populated areas, where it doesn't necessarily make sense. I think it will start by building out regional networks. It certainly won't happen by optimizing for NYC to LA.
Do you have firsthand experience with both?

> There are probably more languages compiled to Wasm than to RISC V. Especially for higher level languages, which is attractive for scripting.

To expand on this, this is especially useful for modding. The original developers should probably standardize on a single scripting language for practical reasons, but individual modders or groups or modders may benefit from being able to choose their scripting language independent of the original developers'.
Why blame LetsEncrypt? Instead blame the operators who are refusing to address basic network security.

I run a network, we do the whole shabang of RPKI, DNSSEC, and CAA. It sounds a whole lot like operators who refuse to address clear security issues. LetsEncrypt is not to blame when someone spoofs your address space.

LetsEncrypt is not a LIR/RIR, their business is not IP resources but SSL certificates. They are a CA. They have no tools available to them to address that problem.
Ask HN: Is this the reason I like JSX
I find (to my surprise) that I like jsx. For example although I like threejs (outstanding), however I keep gravitating to react-three-fiber and react-three-drei.

Why? Have I become some react-addled addict? I keep looking at other systems and want to like them, but turn away.

I had an idea that might explain this, but it is sort of stupid and annoying.

I like it because my brain groks:

```
<Scene>
<Ducks >
<Ducklings />
</Ducks>
<Camera />
</Scene>
```

I get what is going on quickly and easily. I can go into detail (edit Ducklings.js) easily. This explanation seems both obvious and somewhat ridiculous.

I wonder if this is a Sapir-Whorf kind of thing?

So what do you think? Is it plausible? Are there better systems that let you perceive structure & delve into it? Or ... ?
That's 0.5 percentage points. Would be nice to get that metric, too, alongside percentages sometimes. Here the initial likelihood is relatively high, when the likelihood is low, percentage increases can be very misleading. Particularly if the uncertainty around the increase is high.
Why are you repeatedly presenting this as a choice? Once again, you don’t need to choose between them. It doesn’t matter which has the biggest impact. Do both.

"Permissions" seem too specific a term to use as a general term. It's something I'd use to describe the specific rights a role may have in role-based access control, and not authorization as a whole. I'll stick to authn/authz for abbreviations, auth for both or if it's not specific, and if it's for documentation or cross-department communication I'll just write the whole word.
you probably didn't do joins for example on your dataset, because DuckDB is OOMing on them if they don't fit memory.

Yeah.. Do it.. i just turned 40th this year and got my first tattoo last year..

Don't allow your life to be defined by what you imagine other people will think about it..
I'm 40, I got a sleeve done this year. I've never been more thrilled to get one. Get tattoos. It's your body, if the art is meaningful to you, why hold back?

Yeah the Google vs OpenAI comparison is really apt.

ChatGPT will give terrible hallucinations as well, but Google is getting lambasted right now for theirs. But even then, it’s written off as Google being Google.

If Apple did it, it would take over the tech news cycle for weeks. Personally I do think it’s better for Apple to be seen as behind in this trade off.
Indeed, but it was lazily tacked on instead of built up towards. These are the kind of jokes that Matt&Trey used to rally against (ala Family Guy writing time) because there was no setup for it.

It says that spacetime exists as an interaction of gravity alone. This implies that there is no other frame of reference in this type of solution to GR. i.e. without mass there is no time in such a universe. Not a new idea.

> I could be wrong but I think you're outside your field on this one.

And in contrast what would that make of you??

I'm saying that if there in some point in the future (because we can see it now) is sufficient mass density in the region of space of that big ring, and it is rotating, we tick every box we know of to theoretically allow for an eternal circle. "Engineering" it would mean that someone wanted some type of eternal existence, which is the profound idea at play here.

Engineering things without the technology to manufacture it happens all the time. Just because we can't imagine how to build it does not mean we can't calculate if it could exist.
I'm so curious about the last part of your comment. You're not the only one who seems...at least uncomfortable with?...the idea that there was an odd little 3yo girl back in the '80s somewhere who once had a weird conversation with her dad. I can't even think of a reason someone might make that up in a pseudonymous internet forum. It's not like any of you know (or care, I'm sure!) who I am.

I related the story because I thought my experience might offer an uncommon perspective on the parent comment. That's all.

Even granting the likelihood that you didn't see my comments elsewhere in the thread about how he was an abusive narcissist, warning me about becoming like the unnecessarily insecure guy in the story seems like an oddly low blow to try to strike in this context.
I really didn't notice how long the video was as I was busy trying to absorb all the information being provided on-screen and, simultaneously, marveling at the hard work and sheer technical brilliance of the French Space Guy, the creator of the video. Hats off to them.
This is a godsend for people who work with media projects.
Edit: for above comment.

My comment wasn't directed at parent. I was trying to be smart and write an inverse of original comment. Opposite scenario Where I as an interviewer was looking for a proper 'data stack' and interviewee responded with a bespoke solution.

"not understanding the scale of "real" big data was a no-go in my eyes when hiring."

i was trying to point out that you can never know where the interviewer is coming from. Unless i know interviewer personally i would bias towards playing it safe and go with 'enterpisey stack'
The beauty of this proposal is that it isn't a new standard -- it's suggesting that we use the already existing words and stop using the less understood acronyms.
Depends on the level you're hiring for. At a certain point, the candidate needs to be able to identify the right tool for the job, including when that tool is not the usual big data tools but a simple script.
Zoom has this also. It's pretty handy once in a while.
Early in my career, I wrote a LEAPS based rules engine for managing business rules when deciding how to pack orders into boxes across multiple warehouses. As part of it, I also wrote a heuristic for approximating solutions to the 3-dimensional bin packing problem, along with a visualizer for solutions as the warehouse staff did not believe that certain pack orders could "fit".

Among other things, the rules engine would ensure that bowling balls wouldn't be packed in with ceramic dolls, or that goods that could be dangerous if spilled and mixed wouldn't be packed together. Overall, a very fun project for a young programmer.

I have worked with auth (:P) systems (IAM) a lot and I have never seen the problem with "auth" meaning both authorization and authentication. When more specificity is needed, just use the right phrase.

Using "login" and "permissions" are worse IMO, because they don't catch the entire meaning and complexity of these systems.
Authentication means way more than login, and permissions mean very specific things for a small portion of an authorization system.
Right, this is not the problem par se. To me this is a rather philosophical question. Related to the motivation behind the project.

If someone has some particular domain problem to which they need to introduce the new programming language, then, probably, it should look somehow different to all existing languages, otherwise they would be used.

Alternatively, the motivation could be: OK I need ExistingLanguageX(-alike) but in the domain/environment where it's not present yet, for example, WASM.

The motivation question is always of interest to me since it allows to judje for the long-term perspectives of the project.

However don't take this as a discouragement rant, learning case is a good motivation/raison d'être too.
The first 2 comments on HN on this article about women in cycling are talking about men in cycling instead.

It’s fascinating. I can’t tell if it’s a sign of HN commenters never talking about the topic itself, about HN being predominantly male, or the fact that women issues are constantly ignored in society and men tend to make things about themselves instead.

> When I'm filling up our pickup, it takes a good bit of time -- the pump rarely runs at full speed or the vapor pressure sensor trips, the tank is pretty big, and there's usually a few cars in line in front of me. 15-20 minutes is a lot closer to realistic.

I'm willing to believe that it takes 15-20 minutes to fill your pickup, but that's a far outlier. If I was guessing, I'd say that your tank is a factor larger than most cars, and I'd also say that I can't remember the vapor pressure sensor malfunctioning like that and that's also skewing your data.
I haven't tried HTMX, can it fetch and load html fragments into an existing dom?
This part is rather easily explained, I think:

"how did it captivate so many millions of daily drinkers around the world?"

Unlike coffee beans it's trivial to produce, you basically just chop leaves and dry them, possibly with smoke.

Unlike coffee there are no adrenergic heebie-jeebies, only a rather strong and 'pure' caffeine high. Supposedly there's a mineral content that'll be nice to the nervous system too.

There are rumours about it causing stomach and mouth cancer, with some studies seemingly supporting this and some countering that it might just be the practice of drinking a very hot infusion. Making a cold infusion works fine, at least with regards to the drug effects.

I'm not too worried about the cancer stuff and usually keep a kilogram or so in the cupboard in case I run out of more expensive caffeine sources.
From what I read it's not prosecuted in San Francisco e.g. anymore.

Sure, okay, I get it. My point was more like "Have you tried this obvious thing first that a lot of devs can do for you without too much hassle?". If I were to try for a dedicated data scientist position then I'd have done homework.
Awesome to see this go live!
NB Security practitioners typically never say “auth” due to the ambiguity; we typically say “authN” or “authZ” for clarity, or use the actual terms authentication and authorization.

Not recent but the cybersecurity company Rapid7 uses a Java implementation called JESS (Java Expert System Shell) within their vulnerability management product to help determine vulnerable / unpatched state of scanned assets.

Big Data hasn't been about storage, I thought it was always about processing. Guy obviously knows his stuff but I got the impression he stressed more about storage and how that's cheap and easy these days.
When he does mention processing/computing, he mentions that most of the time people end up only querying recent data (ie small chunk of actual data they hold) but that bears the question: is querying only small chunk of data what businesses need, or are they doing it because querying the whole dataset is just not manageable? In other words, if processing all data at once was as easy as querying the most recent X percent, would most businesses still choose to only query the small chunk? I think there lies the answer whether Big Data (processing) is needed or not.
Running awk on an in-memory CSV will come nowhere even close to the memory bandwidth your machine is capable of.
What is so wrong with this approach that makes you exclaim "OMG! No!"? This is practically no different to any basic server side rendering framework in any other language. This is a very basic pattern used all the time.
It is not only about whether people can figure it out awk. It is also about how supportable the solution is. SQL provides many features specifically to support complex querying and is much more accessible to most people - you can't reasonably expect your business analysts to do complex analysis using awk.

Not only that, it provides a useful separation from the storage format so you can use it to query a flat file exposed as table using Apache Drill or a file on s3 exposed by Athena or data in an actual table stored in a database and so on. The flexibility is terrific.

If you think ‘auth’ is confusing in an access management context, wait til you implement a payment system and discover that credit cards have an ‘auth’ process that has nothing to do with your user identity or user permission checks. A credit card auth is not ‘authenticating’ the card holder, or determining if they are ‘authorized’ to charge to a particular card. It is instead the process of being given authorization to capture funds from a payment instrument.
Many people have noted how when using LLMs for things like this, the person’s ultimate knowledge of the topic is less than it would’ve otherwise been.

This effect then forces the person to be reliant on the LLM for answering all questions, and they’ll be less capable of figuring out more complex issues in the topic.

$20/mth is a siren’s call to introduce such a dependency to critical systems.

I have tried an elliptigo which is neat. It’s unfortunately way harder to ride due to wind resistance and the elliptic nature. Also worth a mention.

Obviously simply not using or having a saddle will remove such class of injuries.

Too bad they’re ridiculously expensive for what they are.

As far as bike seats go, I’ve had success with the cloud 9 seat and women and men alike said it was comfortable (for short rides <30 min). Never been a fan of the stiff ones, other than the fancy leather ones.
Odds are the demographics shift that way on this site.
Those responses have puzzled me the most. Like, OK, there was an odd little girl somewhere in the world back in the '80s. So what?

We know there are kids who earn graduate degrees in their early teens. Why is it implausible that the occasional 3yo could have thought about picking 1, but then suddenly had a flash of, "No wait! That's exactly what he will expect! He'll never expect me to pick 3 again!" and remember it?
Agreed. Generally just avoid jargon when you aren't sure the reader knows the lingo.
> Oh, and this would in Quartzsite, a town of 2500.

While Quarzite has an year-round population of 2500, the actual winter population is much, much higher in addition to significant tourist traffic..

Blythe is right nearby and has year-round population an order of magnitude higher. Both cities are not far from the Parker Dam which distributes it's 120 MW via power lines.

> There aren’t power lines capable of this power

Um, what? Long distance transportation of power at these scales happens routinely in the US.
What an absurd statement. It's a) not a fucking competition and b) nearly impossible for you to know that and c) not going to be universal for all balls-havers and all labia-havers.

Also, like, what is your comment even aiming to achieve?

Are you hoping people will be like, "oh yes, I'm interested in learning how we could improve the lives of women but this insightful comment about balls made me really think about how I shouldn't"?
Partisan or just right-wing?
That's discussed extensively in cycling literature, isn't it? Much of the article is about how the impact on women is less well-known.
Select only people who were there before and ask if they are better or worse off.

> god-shaped hole

This cliche phrase definitely takes me back!

The problem here is of course that gods aren't capable of solving this kind of problem anyway; an external, instrumental purpose ('God made me to do X', or 'God created me to have Y effect on the world') isn't meaningful in the way people want intrinsic or subjective purposes to be anyway.

In that sense religious institutions provide the same kind of earthly, banal, limited meaning that hackerspaces or secular charities or sports clubs or families do. But they're not any better at making existentialist yearnings well-formed than anything else is.

I also don't think all that is necessary to explain the phenomenon at hand. That account is way too broad.

Imo the drive here is more narrative; it's about making the stories of our lives make sense— often in the simple sense of making them unsurprising. Discovering a diagnosis can be very cathartic, and can (partially) explain lots of patterns and events from one's past. It also brings some relief because it tells us that we are not uniquely defective in our failings and points us towards examples of others who have managed to succeed or survive despite the same ailment. And it gives us a vocabulary for identifying similar people from whom we can learn and in whom we can find solidarity. All of those things being are rewarding and/or useful.
Never heard of it.

Just don't use the "auth" contraction for "autorization". Only for authentication. Or not at all.

The system state which grants access to a resource based on a user's credentials is "permissions".

Authentication is the process of establishing belief in the user's credentials.

Authorization is the human assigned permission to a resource which may or may not be reflected by permissions. Incorrectly set permissions can allow unauthorized access to a resource.

E.g. if /etc/shadow is accidentally made rw-r--r--, that doesn't mean everyone is authorized to access the password hashes. Doing so may still violate the organization's IT policy.
