> The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) was a NASA Discovery Program mission that placed a single geophysical lander on Mars to study its deep interior. But InSight was more than a Mars mission. It addressed one of the most fundamental issues of planetary science: understanding the processes that shaped the rocky planets of the inner solar system (including Earth) more than four billion years ago. The mission ended in December 2022 after more than four years of collecting unique science on Mars.

Thanks for reaching out and for the feedback.

Pricing, like everything else at Raycast, is something we will continuously evaluate and try to balance between what is best for our users and also for us as a company. And on this subject we are indeed looking into the possibility of offering a cheaper Pro Plan (lite version) subscription without AI for example or even offering a lifetime license with additional benefits outside the app. So more on this subject to come soon.

Best,

Proud purchase of this one after using it for almost half a decade. I've used Sourcetree, GitKraken, Github desktop for a while. But Fork is just really smooth, not bloated, and talks to me when I'm high on nootropics.
Washers are designed to spread out the force of the bolt head over a larger area so that the bolt can be done up to a tighter torque without damaging the contact area.

They are actually quite malleable, which is kind of required because the contact area could be imperfect or ever so slightly angled.

A bolt on the other hand, there is almost no malleability there at all. Most bolts are rigid and inflexible because of their geometry and because the tiny threads need to be very strong.

In recent years, washers have evolved a little further and now many washers also include a locking feature to prevent the bolt from coming undone. You also see thicker washers and spring washers which are designed to regulate the bolt force even if the temperature varies a lot and the bolt expands or contracts.

Finally, the washer material might be important. Steel bolts corrode against everything, so most washers that you find are probably zinc plated or similar and designed to insulate the bolt head material from the contact surface material.
One big difference is the car has a crumple zone to absorb some impact, but the brick wall does not.
Oh man did I screw that up. You are right of course, just kind of skipped over the “elastic” part and completely messed up the billiards example.

Thanks for the correction.

> Honestly I'm not sure why ChatGPT has anything to do with this problem.

Because if humans had written and reviewed the code, multiple team members would have had to have learned Python, and SQLAlchemy specifically, which, even if the mistake was initially made as many times as ChatGPT did, there would have been multiple independent opportunities for it to be caught and questioned and the relevant knowledge shared during development.

ChatGPT may be able to crank out immense volumes of superficially functional code, but if its your only “teammate” that understands the libraries used and touches the code, its a huge single point of failure.

OK, so also preclude private vehicles of the wealthy, to remove more congestion.

Long before there was the tyranny of the rocket equation, there was also the tyranny of the wagon equation [1] that limited how far per-industrialized armies could move with wagons and animals (though the equation wasn't formalized).

I deal with washers, in the development of precision mechanisms. They can serve a lot of useful purposes. For instance nuts and bolts can gouge into the parts that they're holding together. A washer provides a sort of sliding bearing between the two, that takes the brunt of wear, and is easily replaced.

It can spread out a load on a hole, including if the holes are made oversized to make up for tolerance variations in the parts. This is useful for bolting together wooden structures, or softer materials like aluminum.

Stocking a variety of washers could be cheaper than stocking multiple types of bolt heads and nuts.

It can be a spacer.

There are specialized washers that can take up small angular tolerance variations, such as the spherical washers in some bike brake pads.

You don't see them everywhere, and using them by habit isn't necessarily the right thing to do in all cases.
I didn't say it was reasonable, just that it's an option.

Separate table definition (DDL) from row-insertion (DML) definitions along with their corresponding defaults.
I agree with most of this story, but I really find the assertion that weird nerds are just autistic rather offensive and dismissive. It reminds me way too much of lazy teachers in the 90s insisting students they didn't want to manage were just suffering from ADD and hoping they could just get their parents to dope them up on Ritalin.
That OpenAI work is more elaborate. It trains an additional network in such a way that it encodes what GPT is doing in terms of activations, but in a more interpretable way (hopefully). Here, as far as I can tell, it's visualizing the activation of the attention layers directly.
No, there is a typo in there, but my point is that being introverted is a type of neurodiversity.

I feel like people are usually just using the word to mean autistic, but there are many types of neurodivergence.
When I talk to autistic men there's often a huffy entitlement that being called creepy is a form of discrimination, since autism itself is seen as "Creepy" independent of any objectively or intentionally creepy behaviour, and spend their time self-victimising instead of thinking about how they could change to avoid creeping out others.

I see them get despondent that they have a disorder which means they can definitionally are socially impaired and always will be.

As for the parents and teachers causing kids to not be creepy, that mostly consists of them saying stuff like "mastrubrate in your room" and "don't tell strangers you want to have sex with them". There's not actually a competent make autistic people not creepy treatment that's in any way mainstream or widespread (Although if one existed I'd be all ears). If I had to suggest anything, it would be intensive immersion in social situations with neurologically typical people, which doesn't really take a diagnosis.

Like I just keep hearing these theories about how we need to diagnose people with autism to get them resources and treatment but I don't know what these things are. Honestly I see men getting into stuff like looksmaxxing stuff because they're convinced of stuff like their perceived "creepiness" being a result of them being ugly (evidence would support that ugly people are seen as more creepy), and at least something like plastic surgery offers them an evidence-based method to reduce perceived creepiness - which is something the medical system DOES NOT COMPETENTLY OFFER despite the medical system also telling them that they have social deficits. I think the neurosis's being caused by labelling and reification are already doing damage.

I think the thing that bothers me most about autism spectrum disorder is it's seen as a sort of life sentence which involves impairments which by definition are lifetime and you can never overcome, and if you fit these boxes, even if you have no significant problems, you're some successful married computer programmer, you are just fucked for life! Yet when I look at the actual research, I see children going from being clinically diagnosable with a disorder to sub-clinical all the time in followup studies. Yet all we really care about is getting MORE people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, as in, it should be our goal to have MORE people labelled as being impaired instead of LESS people because we did such a good job resolving their impairments and making them independent that they no longer had any significant difficulties or need for support or a "disorder" label anymore. Being disordered has become a fucking identity where the more people who have the identity the more we are saving people.

My physics teacher was really good with this stuff. He put things into context. This example is not true, however, this example is true enough to teach you xyz. He suggested that part of continuing on to higher forms of physics study meant that a lot of these older concepts had to be beaten out of you, and his preference was largely not to rely/solidify them as concepts so it wouldnt take as much energy to remove them later. We were encouraged to find ways to break these examples too, if we could, which was rare, and on some occasions he would stay back to demonstrate how they were false after class.
As a person who was staring SAMSHA page feeling desperate about 2 years ago I can attest that personally the notion of the calls being recorded did have a chilling effect. I am a bit particular about privacy and did not want my information living on a disk somewhere to be used in ways outside of my knowledge and control. It may have served me well to have someone to talk me off the metaphorical ledge, but obviously things worked out OK.

FCC: "The 988 Lifeline provides 24/7, confidential support to people in suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress. By calling or texting 988, you’ll connect to mental health professionals with the Lifeline network."[1]

This service is Government funded.[2] Vibrant is getting most of that money.[3]

The FCC was most concerned about keeping the call data confidential. This thing is set up so that 988 answerers don't get call data, but there's a way they can turn a 988 call into a 911 call and a 911 dispatcher can get full location info. All the confidentiality stuff seems to revolve around call data.[4] Not collecting marketing info from the call content.

I’m not sure that performance needs to constrain web engine design the way it traditionally has. The world has changed since the browser perf war started.

Just try disabling the JIT in a modern browser and you’ll find your UX is not really any worse.

HW has gotten faster than when the current browser perf wars kicked off. So it might be that to have a meaningfully useful browser engine alternative, perf won’t be the top concern. Compatibility will though, just because of the sheer number of features a modern browser engine supports.

And if you don’t have JIT, then it’s not clear if Spectre is even a meaningful concern.

> questioning established truths is how you actually do science.

and that questioning has been done in decades past and answered, also in decades past.

Your linked video is of a 74 year biologist with a PhD in measuring stream containmination who raises the claims that increased carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere is beneficial, that there is no proof that anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for global warming, and that even if true, increased temperature would be beneficial to life on Earth.

These points have been addressed multiple times since they were first raised decades ago and by many better qualified people whose responses and models you can find should you care to look.

The Earth Sciences have people that look at small things at local scale (Dr. Moore, last active in science some 40+ years past) and others that look at planet scale effects (not Dr. Moore).

The blind faith people have in stale claims from tangential retired scientists that make a living shilling for nuclear, logging, GMO industries and other clients of the Heartland Institute that pay to have noise and FUD thrown into the air in any debate regarding consequences of industry is staggering.

You are correct to call out blind faith.

The computer layers are incredibly thin. Even having deadweight cooling layers transporting fluid between the computer layers would want minimal thickness.

Tbf, this is page 13 of the list. If you go to the first page, Saudi Aramco made $230B with 73k employees according to their website. This is still ~3x as much profits/employee as VeriSign.

I wonder how this old scenario would play out in 2024. Now that most cars have Automatic Emergency Braking, 2 cars driving toward each other should be spared a serious collision. But AEB generally won't brake for stationary objects, so the wall scenario would still be as bad as ever. (More likely, the answer would be that it's now a software problem, so nobody really knows.)
There's no "find usages" for events, and it becomes harder to find out why something didn't happen. A function call can't simply "not return" - in the worst case you get an exception, or a stuck thread in the caller that will show up in a stack dump. But downstream event processing can very easily just not happen, for one of many different reasons, and out-of-the-box it's often difficult to investigate.

It also implies that:

3) Children never argue in bad faith (e.g. as a hourslong stalling tactic at bedtime)

4) Children never argue during time sensitive disagreements (e.g. why do I have to get out of the street!?)

5) Children understand probability and risk-benefit analysis (e.g. why shouldn't I play the knife game, I'm not going to cut myself and it's fun)

I've also discovered leaving everything open to debate and having to convince kids of everything leaves them unprepared for life around authority figures. It is not appropriate to argue with an on-duty lifeguard about basic water safety, but a kid who has never had to follow a single command or order will try.

Show HN: AI-powered API that instantly obtains website information
I built SiteProfile(siteprofile.io) to simplify how we access detailed website information. The main feature of SiteProfile is that you can obtain all relevant website information with a single, simple API call. With one API call, you can immediately get the following information:

1.Real-time Webpage Screenshots
Instantly capture real-time screenshots in both PC or Mobile views.

2. AI-Generated Content:
Generate content based on user prompts and website data, e.g. Describe the core functions of this website.

3.Comprehensive Website Info:
Social Media Links, Contact Info, Basic Details, and Assets, all in one place.

With just this API, you can instantly create an ai directory or similar website.

SiteProfile is currently in the testing phase. During this period, all subscriptions are discounted. There are still a few minor issues, and I’m working hard to fix them.

If you try it out, please let me know if you found it useful, if you have anything you’d like me to add, or if you have any other feedback.
And if you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer. Much appreciated.
Going into Sears used to drive me nuts. My parents finally accepted that I was actually hearing something that they couldn’t, but it took a while.
