The ecological impacts involved in coal mining, oil drilling et al.,

Those aren't fusion powers. The context is nuke vs solar.

The vast majority of solar panel installations last longer than a year. Is your point that nature will find a way to destroy a man made creation therefore it is a poor choice? Sorry to say that NOTHING is immune to the whims of the environment.
I would not say Mars has an "extremely mild climate". I certainly would not go outside in my beach outfit. Solar cells work basically anywhere where the sun shines.

We're getting news stories of solar cell installation ripped out nearly every year and environmental issues in-between, in Japan. Every year we get typhoons or earthquakes or severe rainstorms, and every time it wipes out a mass solar installation or two. "Solar cells work basically anywhere" is just so plainly false unless your definition of `anywhere` is confined to continental US.

The reason why it works on Mars and the reason why I said it has "extremely mild climate" is simple; there's no routine earthquakes, surface water, seasonal rainstorms, or atmosphere for that matter. That makes it mild for machines like solar cells, just not for humans.

But in ways I define "weather" and "land", solar cells don't seem to work with any level of those whatsoever.

AGPL simply means the source of any modifications must be made available. It doesn't stop a company with an overwhelming marketing dept and existing user base from rebranding and providing as their own.
Agreed, and also turn down your monitor brightness if needed so the light background matches a piece of paper on your desk.

No one complains that reading something on paper burns out your retinas. A light mode shouldn't either.

I always assumed that ImHex only supported dark mode, but it turns out that it does support light mode too!
9 billion dollares worth of BTC.

It's honestly not that impactful as people may think.

Note that BTC's last 24h volume was $15Billion (some of it is fake, but it's still alot)

The price reaction to this news proves it.

> Do you really have to be so violent in response?

I was trying to meet your request for an option that came as close as possible to just flicking a switch.

> Step into a room, step inside a pod, press a button, pod closes, press another button to replace the air with nitrogen, done.

I know of a friend of a friend who did this on his own. If you are of sufficient capacity to step into some place and press a button then you are able to buy or make this equipment on your own and do it yourself.

> I'm sorry, but 'life is precious' is a religious view, even if you call yourself 'atheist'.

And some religious people also believe that taking care of Earth's natural environment is also a religious duty. That doesn't make it a religious view, it makes it a general moral view that is shared between some religions and some atheists. The justification for a moral view is what makes it religious or secular.

> Humans have killed each other since they evolved from Australopithecus

And how many of these deaths have been because of religious beliefs? I think enough of them to say that killing people for moral reasons is a religious view, even if you call yourself 'atheist'.
Inspiration for Bruce Sterling's short 'Jim & Irene!'
I didn't get that impression.

Although you're right that there's likely no relationship between wives developing heart conditions and subsequent divorce, there's not enough information from the article to know whether there's anything statistically meaningful about heart conditions specifically. It seems more likely that it's just statistical noise. I read that section and got the impression that the relationship is interesting but it doesn't necessarily mean anything, rather than implying that the original study still has some validity.
Jank Gets Multimethods
it doesn't logically follow from the fact that you know about a group that there are similar groups.

for example let's say you know a few people who work for the military and they happen to work at Area 51. sure lots of people know military personnel, but your sample is still pretty special. without a good representative sample we simply have no idea.
1. If you’re going on a one-way ticket to another planet, you don’t need $1m in spare cash. You just need everything you own (house included) to sum to $1m, which is an easier hurdle for an early career engineer, and Mars will want young engineers. In actuality you probably just need a down payment and premiums for an insurance contract. Costs could be closer to $100k.

2. Trips will be two-way with an included but unscheduled return ticket. Orbital dynamics make this not expensive to do. People who take advantage of that and who got part of their trip out on credit would find themselves deeply burdened in debt, but survivable. The gamble being made (and hedged with insurance) is that most colonists would stay.

3. “and die on Mars” can be literally interpreted as old age, but given the aggressive responses in this thread the underlying assumption I believed was that they’d die from lack of food/water/air, too much radiation, life support failure, etc. in other words the “mars is harder than you think and the colonists will die” tired assumption. In reality ISS research has demonstrated what is required to keep humans alive and healthy, and literal decades of preparation has been done on designs for early bases that exploit local resources to reduce external dependency.

If you’re actually interested in this, Zubrin’s The Case for Space is a good introduction.
SEC Sues ConsenSys for MetaMask
DevEx encompasses both of those practices, in my opinion.

I’m the DevEx lead at my current company, and I’m in the process of standing up platform engineering as a practice.

My company doesn’t have 1000s on developers (200-300).

It is still worth spending time in those practices in order to reduce manual effort, increase self service and keep the average developer focused on what matters: writing code.
That's more on F-Droid, no? If someone said "Download from Cydia", I would not expect it to download it from Saurik's official repository called "Cydia/Telesphoreo". Using the same name for the app (store kit) and the repository is just a bad design choice, especially if the reference implementation comes with only the said repository.
The one piece of advice I would give myself 15 years ago:

In the corporate world be very good at administration. You only need to just be good enough at programming to not get fired. Everybody has opinions on software techniques and nobody measures anything, so it’s really just a popularity/tool game. The only goals are retain employment or promote out of software, being good at software is just a distraction from the goals.

If you want to be excellent at programming do it as a hobby and set your expectations right that it’s only a hobby.
I mean while I agree that CPUs can be hungry, a lot of traditional beefycore proc tech in this time period has gone into energy efficiency and miniaturization whereas a lot of GPU tech has been all about more and more cores. Research and enterprise workstations I've worked with have increasingly required industrial power supply. Like yea raw scale's gonna be a factor but I'd also think that per-datacenter power might grow less quickly with scale if the per-server consumption wasn't drastically rising because company scale also predicts building more datacenters
but that’s better than an unelected group answering to the president coming up with rules on their own.
Typically, flights do not deviate from their planned routes for non-severe turbulence levels. It's safer and simpler to have passengers remain seated with the seatbelt sign on. Our model considers weather inputs alongside real-time data, acknowledging that weather is continuously changing and somewhat unpredictable. Therefore, we don't perceive this issue as significant
Funny, the first section called Arts and Culture starts with discussing cash and legal tender.
Not OP, but to me it sounds line p-hacking aka bad science as well: If you slice a dataset en enough subsamples you will very likely find random correlations. That’s the nature of these kinds of analyses and we should be sceptical of conclusions that are based on suce analyses.
Hoarding? :)
Interesting how this announcement avoids saying any founders have left.
I can't square the numbers in the two articles at all. Other sources seem closer to their optimised results than their unoptimised results:

llama3-70b throughput:
Chips and Cheese: 4800 tok/sec (?!)
This article: 849 tok/sec (fastest optimized)

Mixtral 7B latency:
Chips and cheese: 1.17s
This article: 2.04s (fastest unoptimised) / 0.81 (fastest optimised)

And then finally comparing mixtral 8x7b to the Reddit article using batch size 1...

Reddit: 157 tok/sec
This article: 165 tok/sec (optimized) or 141 tok/sec (unoptimised)
> Let's just call this article what it is: pure leftist propaganda.

This is a stupid take.

Separation of powers is a cornerstone of the system of checks and balances. The Legislative Branch exercises congressional power, the Executive Branch exercises executive power, and the Judicial Branch exercises judicial review.

This decision means that the judicial branch, on top of exercising judicial review, encroaches on the role of the Executive Branch by overriding how it exercises executive power.

This is a blatant power grab, regardless of where your political compass points to.

For example, taken from the article:

> So, for instance, if Congress passes a Clean Air Act (which it did in in 1963) and the president creates an executive agency to enforce it (which President Richard Nixon did in 1970), then it’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, actually, ‘clean air’ doesn’t mean what the EPA thinks it means.”

If you want another example, imagine a Supreme Court decision that determines that owning a gun is illegal because possessing one infringes on some other constitutional right.
I wondered that but looking at both papers, it seems much less likely. For one thing, they looked at the same illnesses in both the original paper and the new paper, so it’s not like they did a bunch of new analysis in order to find something that’s significantly.

For another, the study doesn’t look at that many diseases, just four: cancer, heart disease, lung disease, and stroke. It’s possible the original study was doing some p-hacking in order to reach significance but these are pretty major categories of disease so they seem defensible. It would not surprise me if these are the only diseases in the original dataset.

Finally, the results are significant at the .01 level. Combined with the number of diseases, this is not anything as blatant as the classic XKCD green jellybean comic, although more subtle p-hacking could be at play.

I know. That objection was brought up in the first article I read on this issue. Still, depending on the care required, it's pretty bad to imply that someone is better off dead.

And 7% of the study subjects recovered completely.
Ok, I see two semi-related assertions now:

>>> Pure CO2 and water to synfuels is still wildly energy inefficient.

> If the Hysatas electrolyzer is for real and scales up, making hydrogen is going to get way more efficient.

From the article, Synhelion has a thermal reactor now: solar radiation directed by heliostats into a thermal reactor that feeds a Fischer-Tropsch process. It seems difficult to establish relative efficiency of the whole to the Hysatas electrolyzer which is one component of a larger chain to capture and transmit energy to perform work.

If I were to assume a similar story for Hysatas where photovoltaics feed electricity to electrolyze water and a whole new infrastructure for fuel is stood up: What measure would measure and demonstrate the relative efficiency between the two processes?
>>When MtGox went insolvent, the price of bitcoin tanked and they had enough cash on hand to replace everyone’s funds, but the lawyers said no because there wasn’t enough fees.

Which lawyers are you referring to that said "no because there weren’t enough fees"? Seems contradictory because lawyers at the time in 2014 had no idea that the value of the remaining digital assets would rise.

In my situation it would have been much easier to just keep my head down until I was able to get another job. I ended up causing a lot of tension at work, the engineer who had wrote this code openly resented me .

Usually when people are putting broken code into the code base it's a wider cultural problem, that you're not realistically going to solve.
{I really hope you don't get offended by my comment - I want to present you a different perspective}

A candidate applying for a job - even with a single click - involuntarily and automatically has a small hope that they might get that job. If that candidate is in a more desperate situation, not receiving a reply, being denied or mislead, has a mental toll.

Do this for a couple of job ads and the effect compounds.

This is a good point. I guess the only counter argument is that, so far, in general, postponing elective death also leads to a bunch of solutions to other problems over the course of a life, even if the original problem is unsolvable.
> Containers and container orchestration are a NEEDED and REQUIRED piece of the technology stack in the current reality.

That is not remotely true. Containers (and their orchestration) are a choice. Obviously people have their reasons for making that choice, but it is in no way a requirement. To say otherwise is either profound hyperbole or ignorance.
Granted death penalty opponents are biased, but it's often said that barbituate overdose is a very unpleasant way to die. I've also heard opiod overdose is unpleasant.

I was once helping take down a 10-foot weather balloon full of helium, and took in two breaths in a row of pure helium. I started to get tunnel vision, said "whoah", sat down when I realized I was about to lose consciousness, fell down, and twitched just long enough for my friend to realize I wasn't joking around before I woke up. From my experience, hypoxia from pure helium is slightly pleasant all the way to loss of consciousness. I presume pure nitrogen would be nearly the same.

Let my last words be something witty in a high-pitched helium voice.

(Side note: pure nitrogen hypoxia would not be a particularly humane form of execution because the condemned would likely fight it by holding on to their last breath.)
It’s worth pointing out the irony of this position, which is that liberals decried Chevron at the time it was decided because it required deferring to a narrow interpretation of the Clean Air Act by the Reagan EPA. Progressive organizations are always suing the EPA, because regulatory agencies are inherently centrist and resist change in either direction.

What this decision means is that Sierra Club, NRDC, etc., can now litigate in the Ninth Circuit and push for more favorable interpretations of environmental laws. And the next Republican administration can’t take that away, the way they could under Chevron, which allowed agencies to change their interpretation of the same law for no reason.

I am currently reading Ulysses, so this was a nice surprise on hn. Great historical context. Thank you! After many years of false starts, I stopped trying to understand everything and just let the prose wash over me. And now I’m enjoying it.

“ I feel I need not worry so much about “misreading” Joyce. Every reading of Ulysses is a misreading, a faulty but revealing translation, a way of drawing the novel into new and perhaps unintended relationships. All that matters to me is finding a way to read the book that is interesting: that opens out instead of closing down.” [1]

Good to see you here--I noticed your manuscript on GH (probably sometime last year?) during a ~vanity search because it quotes one of my blog posts. (https://hypermedia.systems/tricks-of-the-htmx-masters/#html-...)

I went to check on it and noticed that the repo I have starred is archived and that there's a new one recently put up. I don't see an explanation--can you reflect on or link to anything about the update? (Is this a content update, just ~refactoring how the book is built, etc.?)

That did nothing to help the fishery in this case. The burdens placed upon them came from a lower level bureaucrat, a decision that likely never crossed Trump's desk. That's just one regulation among thousands per year for which there is no accountability.

Calvin & Hobbes definitely fits. Some European BDs are (or were) also published as strips in journals. It’s true that strips are not as common as in the UK or the US, but they are not that different from most short stories BDs. They are not a separate category like mangas or comics are.

I'm the person responsible for this project and this is absolutely not correct. The clause was not written to restrict this kind of use of the keyboard, and it would be ridiculous if we ever pursued anyone over this. You can type anything you want with our keyboard. You can type out a million-dollar app that competes with us. It's not like we would have any way of knowing, because the keyboard doesn't connect to the internet.

That clause is more intended for a situation where, for example, a phone manufacturer wants to include our app as a default option. That is the kind of commercial use we would prefer to negotiate and sign a special agreement for.

Biden was not all there with his 'Cornpop' speech of 2017. After that performance he should have made a dignified retirement. The people around him should have shuffled him off the stage too. There was too much going on in his 'Cornpop was a bad dude' rambling that it really should have been game over, there and then.

Notionally he has his finger on the nuclear button and he is a decade past his sell by date. You have to question the intellect of anyone, up to and including Obama, that do not see this.

My cousin has an elderly dog that has a habit of knocking expensive crockery off a coffee table with his tail, blissfully unaware and unable to see the problems caused. We love the dog and tell him that he is a good boy, but we don't let him drive the car or light the barbeque. We commend the dog for being able to lay a golden nugget in the park but nobody else in the family gets told they have done well for doing a number two.

For some reason people with Trump Derangement Syndrome seem to ignore reality with Biden, if he falls up the stairs then they make excuses for him, plus they know so much about him that they have no knowledge of the legendary 'Cornpop was a bad dude' speech, despite it being comedy gold.
