If a car hit an actual brick wall, it would likely be closer to your 50 mph final reference frame scenario, with the wrecked car and wall remnants both moving near that speed. It would take some good anchoring for the ground to exert enough force on the wall to keep it immovable.
It is naive of humans to believe we can accurately model something we cannot measure against. Until a time machine enables someone to vastly scale back climate data, we have a huge missing gap and continually rely on the short term models for association, whereby those models are a collaboration of data collected over roughly 400 years. The last 250 are better statistically and the last 50 are exceptionally accurate.

But to levy them upon data extrapolated without correlation is where science falls short. You can surmise the corroboration between soil, ice, and methane samples as well as biological data from the eons; but piecing together a picture is more akin to believing the extremely faint stars you see in the night sky - are still there.

We tend to believe what is in front of us not realizing that change is happening all around us, every moment, every microsecond. Nothing ever stays the same. This is true of climate change as it is humans.

The debate on what to do about change and how much humans have potentially and/or are contributing is an entirely different discussion. With technology perhaps we'll coalesce. It is otherwise far more likely that the planet and the cosmos could make it so we can't.

Right, so tillage.

Aeration is not conventional tillage. Conventional tillage sees soil lifted and mixed as described earlier. A lazy speaker may leave out "conventional" in casual conversation about the mechanical practice where it is understood by context. Such context was not found here, but is that, perhaps, the source of your confusion?

There was a lot of cat-herding.

The largest issue with the fediverse is that so few people seem to understand what it actually is. Even this paper talks about Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads as if they’re mutually independent. They kind of are, but that misses the point of what the fediverse is meant to be.

I am part of a public mastodon server and the academic migration was like watching people discover what it was like to “surf the web” again. This paper generally rings true to my experience. In my view, this particular failure of fediverse adoption was because there was a large group of people who were using immature technology for the wrong reasons, and the friction of their incorrect mental models outlasted their righteous indignation about Twitter/X.

If you haven’t taken a gander through the fediverse yet, give it a try. It’s beautiful and weird the way the internet was in the days of geocities. But it can take some digging - my best results have been in finding people who are running custom, non-mastodon servers.

This is exactly what I took away from it. For me the key sentence is this:

> This would be a serious problem if we were facing rapid change, but we are not.

My understanding is that, geologically speaking, climate change is happening extremely quickly. But he goes on to say,

> Other species can [adapt] by evolution or by changing their range, but that could be a problem for species such as trees that evolve slowly and shift their range slowly

So he incorrectly claims that climate change is “slow” because it is happening over a period of decades or even centuries, and he does not seem to understand evolution at all, which I understand happens on a timescale several orders of magnitude longer.

What a pile of easily refutable nonsense, spewed out as fact. It’s just the usual blather, someone influential who thinks they understand everything, failing to accept even the basic, provable tenets of something inconvenient for their personal world view.

If that’s the quality of the “arguments” he had with his parents, little wonder we’re all fucked.

Strange that you are downvoted, Symmetry is a fair way of looking at it.
The difference is whether the collision is allowed to make the wall move. A 100-mph car won't be halted by a physical brick wall, but will just bust right through it. Afterward, both the car and wall remnants will be moving at 50 mph (minus however much energy it takes to tear the section of wall from the ground). In that case, the change in kinetic energy will be not much more than in the car/car case.

For a truly immovable wall, the ground has to exert a lot of force to keep it in place, which goes into the car, causing the entire discrepancy.
Non-falsifiability on account of self-report is a pervasive problem in mental health. But just because something isn't falsifiable doesn't mean it isn't true.

If I told you I had to consciously monitor my tone of voice, and mannerisms, and level of eye contact to pass for normal, and had to silently drill these things in my mind before starting or joining a conversation, that I basically had to be like a method actor and get into character before speaking, what would you propose as a way to falsify or verify my claim?

You're right: it's non-falsifiable. And you'd be right to raise an eyebrow about the idea that keeping it up would lead to clinical depression. Doesn't mean it isn't true.

What's with the obsession of writing web apps in Python?

> Build custom UIs without writing Javascript/CSS/HTML

Why? These three were built for the web and work flawlessly. I doubt that an abstraction built on top of these will result in faster development times.

The State Management guide[1] explains state and then explains the usage. If you know Python and want to build a UI with it you'll have to read the guides. The argument that having a familiar language simplies development doesn't stand here.

There are multiple projects now that allow you to build a UI in Python and it feels wrong to me. Who is it even intended for?

i think the whole argument is kind of confused because it groups a bunch of separate nerd characteristics into one "weird nerd" archetype. feeling like your career shouldn't be stymied because you're bad at playing politics and socially awkward is totally understandable. specifically in the university context, i sympathize with the critique of how much begging for funding is required by the job, especially at more senior levels. but i feel like these reasonable sentiments basically cloak what the essay is really trying to defend: the asshole nerd. i've never worked with kariko, i do not know if she falls under this category, but that seems to be the archetype that is implicitly being discussed in the hn comment section, presumably because a lot of us work in tech and have worked with or under an asshole nerd.

Show HN: I build an AI-Powered app for practicing interviews
While practicing for interviews, my first approach was to stand in front of a mirror, quizzing myself with questions and trying to give my best answers. When I answer some of my questions, I think I gave a better answer than before but when I try to recall it, I cannot answer how I did it earlier.

So, I built Peptalk: Practice Interviews app to actively prepare for interviews which will help in recording answers to the interview questions.

1. Practice interview recording
- Practice and capture recordings in the background and evaluate yourself.

2. AI-Generated Content:
- Generate interview questions based on user-preferred jobs and descriptions and also answer evaluations by AI

3. Share / Send for Review:
- Share the recordings for more constructive feedback.
I've written less than 1000 lines of Python in total probably, but I correctly spotted the problem.

Python has this misfeature whereby it didn't correctly crib Common Lisp's evaluation strategy for the expressions that give default values to optional function arguments.

When you have an argument like foo=obj.whatever() the obj.whatever() is evaluated (would you believe it!) at the time the definition of the function is being processed, not at the time when the function is being called and the value is needed.

Is suspect this was done on purpose, for efficiency. Python has another misfeature: it has no literal syntax for certain common objects like lists. There is [1, 2, 3], but that is a constructor and not a literal: it has to create a new list every time it is evaluated and stuff it with 1, 2, 3. (Unless a clever compiler can prove that this can be optimized away without harm.)

The designer didn't want a parameter like list=[] to have to construct a new, empty list object each time the argument is omitted. In Lisp '(1 2 3) and '() are true literals. Whenever they are referenced, they denote the same object. The programmer has a choice here: they can use (list 1 2 3) as the default value expression or '(1 2 3). The former is like [1, 2, 3]: it yields a new object each time that is mutable; the other will (almost certainly) yield the same object and cannot be reliably, portably modified.

Hey, modern popular languages have most of the features of Lisp, so you're not missing anything.
It is possible to use autocompletion correctly.

Both equally important.

If the signal is used sufficiently in advance (aka "indicating" your lane departure),

then there should be no problem turning it off once half of your vehicle is in the lane.

> they're often people who are incapable of taking something complex and simplifying it.

Excuse me? Haven't a ton of things in recent years been simplified by borrowing ideas from FP?
LINQ in C#, Flask route decorators in Python, React Hooks and Redux reducers, Rx in Angular, Kafka streams, and more?

> Few seem to even understand the core principles

They do understand specific pain points experienced outside of FP - side effects, mutable state, uncontrolled complexity. Many FP proponents are well-versed in OOP but choose FP for reasons like simpler state management, declarative syntax, and powerful concurrency models.

> They're people who can't keep complexity under control

> they're often people who are incapable of taking something complex and simplifying it.

FP langs specifically provide advantages for easier reasoning about code, deterministic functions, and improved reusability. Why would someone willingly want to try and take control of exploding complexity if they have already know better tools to manage it? Tools that they understand more thoroughly and that feel more "natural" to them, closely aligning with mathematical function theory. Math is already one of the best tools for describing a vast number of things in the entire universe. Why would anyone who understands math want to go study some other voodoo-doll piercing technique, even if it claims to be particularly effective at solving specific problems?
Since there are uncountably many functions, the functions we can think of have measure zero in the set of all functions.
These criticisms about engineering PR are too heavy handed. Great engineers solve problems and describe problems without finger pointing to place blame. In fact I think that the worst engineers I’ve worked with are the ones most often reaching for someone to place it on.
I disagree - this is not a crawler that just blindly stumbles around any random website that it finds. It is more akin to a user agent. The only requests it makes are derived from specific instructions by the user to do so.

Having said that, people may use it as a crawler, just like you might be able to script Firefox to be a crawler, but it is not in itself a crawler.
I do have to wonder who this would be “broadcast to”. You leave the brick at home. No one would know you use it
> the car comes to a complete stop at the wall

It's this assumption that causes the entire discrepancy. For a wall to be truly immovable, the ground must exert a great force into the wall to keep it in place, which goes into the car.

But if the wall isn't anchored very securely (or backed by the ground), then the car will bust through it and continue moving forward. In the limiting case where the wall isn't attached to the ground at all, both the car and wall move at 50 mph following the collision. The dissipated kinetic energy comes out the same as in the car/car case.

Attention, Memory, and Productive Knowledge Work
This distinction is important for the sake of performance but not (or only barely) about compatibility. This thread focuses on functionality and the linux support referred to in the title is devices and not the CPU, which -- as you've indicated -- should Just Work because it's implementing the ISA standard.

For the laptop to work, it means that the audio, display, camera, storage, external buses will work. As noted in other threads, this is interesting because of Qualcomm's re-invigorated engagement with kernel development.
You were a very lucky kid to grow up in such an environment.

It was probably easier raising an inquisitive kid in such an environment when you would refer to books and issues of the day, I'd imagine myself today going down internet rabbitholes and thinking myself an expert on a new thing every week. Which would probably often resort to the parent's exhaustion and just resorting to "that's great, son".
If "Bob" was just starting in engineering, and an experienced engineer with 30+ years of experience told Bob something that he didn't think was right, do you think Bob should contradict the senior engineer?

I think that Bob should understand that while the senior engineer may be incorrect, it's best to ask questions and seek to understand first. It's more likely that Bob is missing something. Even if not, this would come out in a better way through polite questions than direct contradiction.

Life is like this too. It's a skill that we should be improving over time.

People who have been doing it longer that us probably have insight that we don't. I think it's arrogant to assume otherwise.

Avoiding contradiction shows respect for the experience and knowledge of the other person, while directly contradicting someone encourages conflict and argument.

Whenever a conversation turns into an argument, both people lose. You've caused conflict that can have significant consequences.

This was a costly lesson for me to learn.

Manners are the lubricant of civilization. Without them the whole machine fails.
I've since moved on to primarily working with Java, so it's been a few years since working with Django on a daily basis and the default still jumped out to me immediately.

Also, where were their tests in the first place? Or am I expecting too much there?

The issue is that the function call happens once, when you define the class, rather than happening each time you instantiate the class.

There is no undebatably best consumer laptop for the simple reason that different users have different requirements and priorities.

So clearly it is debatable and depends on who you ask.
This is why I typically only use LLMs in programming as a semi-intelligent doc delver with requests like, “give me an example of usage of X API with Y language on Z platform”.

Not only does it goof up less frequently on small focused snippets like this, it also requires me to pick the example apart and pay close enough attention to it that goofups don’t slip by as easily and it gets committed to memory more readily than with copypasting or LLM-backed autocomplete.
xoogler/ML researcher here. Everyone at Google used colab because the bazel build process is like 1-2 minutes and even just firing up a fully bazel-built script usually takes several seconds. Frontend is also near impossible to get started with if you aren't in a large established team. Colab is the best solution to a self-inflicted problem, and colab widgets are super popular internally for building hacky apps. This library makes perfect sense in this context...
