For long-term space habitation it will help to have a lot of shielding against radiation, and water is a leading option for that.

And it looks like fish do well in microgravity.

And they taste good. So maybe fish will beat birds to space habitats and astronauts will live in a hollow inside of large aquariums.

This is a really bad summary of the paper.

To give the TL;DR of the paper:

Sections 8 and 9 of the paper document how it works. Moreover, references 5 through 13 offer proof that it has been demonstrated to work in diverse species from zebrafish to mice to chicks to humans, basically across the board.
Yeah, I'm in a company that has transitioned to an ESOP. Management haven't figured out that financials have to be open, yet.

They are begging people to engage but I have no idea what projects are paying the bills, which ones are drags, and various other missing information.

If you keep all that a secret people have no choice but to tune out and just expect management to handle everything.

I don't think the current CEO wants anyone else loudly expressing concerns over the future of the busieness as we are trying to shift away from contracting to SaaS. This is an 80yr old company, mind you.

Now we are trying to grow and bring in employees (for a contract), promising them stock and supposedly stable employment but in the end most of the dozens of employees who are brought in will be let go before they vest. The long term base employees (there is a cache of 20+ yr employees) will have their stock price increase after these people (they will let go) put in years of work to deliver on record-breaking contracts. None of this is the stated intention but it's going to go down like this. About that time the CEO will retire and cash out.

If you always buy the cheapest version of everything, people will also buy the cheapest version of you.

But there are a lot of other factors. People are often afraid of tech. If they consider employing something new, it has the be the "ready-to-use-version", where you don't even have to engage the technology itself.

That said, I am critical of regulation giving advantage to more solid and open technologies. Politics would use it as a buy-in for influence at established tech companies.

Look at AI, politics doesn't want to look at questionable data collection, it has a problem with open source models or that "everyone can use AI". The first scream would be about scams and criminals.

Ask HN: Should I consolidate my blogs into one?
Hey!

I've been writing 2 blogs for the past couple of years, one focused on Software Engineering and the other on general life things (e.g. philosophy, psychology, self-improvement, etc). Recently, I've created another blog focused on Entrepreneurship. At the moment, they all live on their own domains.

My purpose in writing the blogs is (1) I really enjoy writing, and (2) I want to build a personal brand (all of my blogs mention my name, and each link to another). However, it's becoming hard to maintain the blogs. They each run their own instance of the software, meaning any change I make in terms of design/security fixes/SEO/etc, needs to be replicated to other blogs (where applicable). I need to keep separate contact emails per blog, and in general this setup is too complicated, thus discouraging me from writing. Moreover, building domain authority is hard, since every blog essentially starts from 0.

I also own a domain for my name. It shows some about me information and links to all the blogs. I was considering consolidating all the 3 blogs into one under my domain name, and do a 301 redirect from the old domains to the new one (I don't mind owning the domains for some time, as links to them are circulating on the web already). This will eliminate the hassle of bootstrapping and managing each blog individually.

In order to keep proper audience segmentations, I could create a high level category and put each blog into its own category (for example, as subdirectory `https://examples.com/blog/category/software-engineering`). I doubt many people check the blogs themselves, and most traffic is coming from me sharing links to new content, or people searching for a particular thing that is indexed by Google, thus leading to a specific blog post. But even if there are people who read the blogs by RSS or check the website directly, they still can use dedicated RSS per category, or just access a domain with subdirectory for the category.

I understand that it will probably hurt SEO in the beginning, but I'm fine with that. It can also lead to some readers churning, however with proper categorization I don't see a reason why (things like "similar posts" or "next/previous" could be category segmented, thus creating the illusion that the reader still reads a blog about, say, software engineering).

What are your thoughts about it? Am I missing something? Is it a good or a bad plan?

I started writing Attendize about 11 years ago when I had very little professional experience. As a result, the code is quite terrible and difficult to customize and extend.

With Hi.Events, I designed the API first, making it more robust and open to extension. One of the most frequent requests for Attendize was for more flexible ticketing options, such as ticket tiers and donation tickets. I've incorporated these features into Hi.Events, along with much more powerful attendee management and customization features.

I'd be interested in seeing the numbers, but I think the point is it doesn't really matter? In particular, I think the point is that one is an escalation path of thinking. If you think someone in front of you is being a jerk because they are being a bad actor, you are more likely to get upset about it than if you took an alternative view.

My library has one, and it's saved me the itch of wanting my own printer a few times now. I have made a deal with myself that once I print things regularly enough, I can consider getting a printer of my own, but at the current clip of maybe one print a year, it doesn't make sense. I'd probably print more if I had the printer, but so far I haven't needed anything bad enough to warrant that, and have plenty of other projects in to which I can sink my money.

Plus, picking up a print gives me a reason to go to the library, which I love.

Visual/graphical like this I think should be layer of abstraction above traditional text code. With the express purpose of search/reuse (especially by less skilled computer users)

1) So a user creates a couple of nodes in a graph: a button, his specific hardware, a text node saying he wants to calcuate clicks per day.

2) This graph is then used to find published graphs by people who have used these nodes in a completed/deployed instance.

3) The user can easily browse and pick an exact complete graph to deploy himself. (layers here such as preventing private wifi passwords from getting to the published graphs)

4) If the graph is complete in terms of pointing to his exact hardware, exact code chunks as nodes, exact sdk versions then it transforms this graph into typical source code, and can be compiled and deployed, and after confirming it works, then shared again to the public graph collection to let others know it works.

5) if the graph isn't complete, you might have to write some code chunk nodes, connect things properly, or else use AI (har har) or even mark nodes as "todo: can someone please implement this code, or pledges/bounties for someone to help implement"

6) People need to be able to jump into any level they are comfortable with, the code, the graph shape, the public list of TODOs. Then there is translation/generation into the other levels. This makes a tool for higher level collaboration, that should be able to converge on finishing off desired solutions.

The whole point being a new level of abstraction that makes code reuse possible if someone has implemented the same thing in the past already. (but even if it was on different hardware/sdk there should be reusable stateless functional-style code that can be stitched together a bit easier)
On the other hand, one of the two still has with a working solution available.
Should We Even Try to Prevent Outages? Embracing the Inevitable

> If I'm a non-technical user then I have no idea how to host this thing myself and will just go to a competitor.

This is a good suggestion.

My plan is:
1. We start with packaging the Electron app as a downloadable. You'll still have to run your localhost app with it.

2. Then we'll add some UI support for cloning and running your project directly from the app.

3. The last step is to provide hosting for your app but I don't think we have the resources to do that well at the moment.

What do you think about this plan?

'too much', compared to what alternative? The one where we magically compute the contributory effect of circumstance for every person, such that all presumed "privileged" groups get automatically downgraded in a reward hierarchy, through no fault or wrongdoing of their own, and where all presumed "oppressed" groups get automatically upgraded in a reward hierarchy, through no competence or demonstrated merit of their own?

If not that, then what is the relative position against which 'too much' is even being determined?
> Visual Studio runs great on it.

I'd really like to see a video of VS running great on such a machine. My experience with it is that it doesn't run great at all on a top-of-the-line 2022 laptop with laggy interactions left and right. For the kind of software VS is, literally any UI lag is completely unacceptable.

Though SSA is deferred to JIT/ILC instead. In either case you get the access to all the actual low-level bits when you need to. No other portable target lets you do that.
Pay for itself? Who will pay for this? I don’t think you realize how much $100B is. To put it in perspective, a cutting edge fab costs almost $10B (TSMC) and only three companies can barely afford that.
it feels self-evident that computation can mimic the brain. as a result, it's difficult to argue this line much further. to say the brain is non-computable is to assert the existence of a soul, in my opinion.
I am sorry, but "it's built with Electron" is all I need to know at this point. I appreciate the effort you've put in it, and I am sure that it is a great improvement. After all, I am using VS Code on a daily basis, and it's all about Electron, so I don't think that it will be that much slower than a fully native app. However, there is something about the minimal footprint nature of native macOS that I just can't go around. You just feel the snappiness of it, on a sub-nano-second level.
What Boeing needs is competition. There is Airbus, which apparently doesn’t scare them enough, but there used to be a lot more in Boeing’s earlier years.

You only get silly TLD projects if the overall revenue of your company exceeds some threshold; other companies can't afford that level of mistake. Profits and loss don't matter as much as how much money is coming and going - look at ISPs, with the massive amounts of money shuffling that goes on between the top 5 at a global scale. Quantity is a quality all its own, in these cases; it might only be a fraction of a percent of a budget over the course of a decade, but the real world gets to see tens or hundreds of millions of dollars essentially wasted.

Project managers and MBAs get to rationalize their degrees and theories, because after all, they wouldn't be getting paid by ABCXYZ, Inc and managing million dollar budgets if their project wasn't top-class and 100% justified. You might have to keep firing new hires that mention anything about the whole TLD thing being ridiculous, but they were just negative energy anti-social people who wouldn't have fit the company culture anyway.
That's a very low cost approach, I love it!

I don't believe I'm against anything with my comment or supporting anything.

I'm just not interested in feel good fantasies people telling themselves to keep going and others to exploit them. I'm just spreading awareness that where and when you are is more important than who you are, what you think or often even what you do if you are not hellbent on sucking the setup dry (See: Boeing today vs Boeing 30 years ago). A thing about life that's really not up for belief because it was researched from various angles.

Also, I never spoke of any reward. Just attribution. Alteration of reward may or may not follow.
For security reasons you cannot use some of the features in this code without setting a specific header (the blog mentions this).

The sandbox has a button that's basically "Open a preview in a separate tab". If you click that, the header will be sent, and the demo will work.

If you only use the "in-editor" preview, the proper header will not be sent.

Agree not intuitive. Hope it helps, it was a super cool demo.

It seems almost deliberately disingenuous on Bloomberg's part to write a piece on the WFH vs RTO and spend so little time discussing the many, many recent high-qualities studies on the matter. There's data here! It doesn't have to be so opaque and opinion-based! Some folks at Stanford compiled a really excellent report released in July 2023 which summarizes well the current research. [1]

As expected, it's a complicated topic which is hugely individualized and multi-faceted. It depends on your team, your job, your industry, your personality, your tax law, and your family. Broad heuristics like "____ employees are _____ productive" are super uninteresting and mostly just serve to reaffirm personal bias.

Looking at those, I feel like we are approaching the problem entirely wrong.

Even in text, you don't try and look at everything at once, zooming out for a "structure overview" seems useful, but that is not what is happening here, its just imperative code being shoehorned into a DAG and left wherever a user left it instead of organizing itself, which is the whole benefit to graphical programming.

This demo of "unit" at least seems to organize nodes and views of nodes better.

To steal from another comment in the thread:

> That’s true for AI, but it is not the right way to think about AGI.
For AGI, the bet is that someone will build an AI capable enough to automate AI development. Once we get there it will pay for itself. The question is what the cost-speed tradeoff to get there looks like.

I don't think people are treating AI as a typical investment. They are valuing it as a potential replacement for like 95% of human workers. Once the plateau becomes obvious to even the biggest fanatics, people are going to realize all this money has been used to create really good chatbots that just make shit up 25% of the time. The whole sales pitch for the last 1-2 years has been that AGI is "just around the corner" and we can get there via the magic of exponential growth.

The hardware you're looking for is a "laser galvo" setup. It typically takes a +/-12v range analog signal as input. I ended up building my own hardware to drive this. You can use a D to A converter and an op-amp to take a digital output from a raspberry pi or arduino and get the correct signal level. I ran mine on an arduino and it was plenty fast for simple things. Complex animations that require more compute on the device might be a bit much.
Enabling and disabling the laser is as simple as a transistor.

Seems like the biggest downside would be that sharing code becomes much harder. Currently it is easy to share code in as small of a portion as you'd like. If the canonical representation is an AST, it opens up a lot of problems around sharing pieces of a program. This seems like a very substantial downside.

Even simply "sharing" within your own systems, like copying blocks into notes or another program, would be a lot harder. Maybe I'm not knowledgeable enough here and this wouldn't be as thorny as it seems.

I think a big change is also cultural. Fewer people seem to be interested in their focus of choice remaining just a hobby. It's just too tempting to turn your audience into a profit generator when that's just a few clicks away (or so it seems) and you are getting companies offering to throw money at you for promotional deals. It also doesn't help that all the big platforms like to promote those who have succeeded in making being online their job, and in return that job includes gaming the algorithms to make sure they are seen.
