I can hit 45 mph going down hill on my 1980 road bike... but that's just balance, carrying enough potential energy, being too stupid to slow down to a reasonable speed, and having hills that I have to walk the bike up most of the time. There's some skill and physical conditioning there, but not a whole lot; at that speed, there's a lot of instant feedback on form, which helps encourage one to get low and tight.

I think if we're talking about how fast you can get your bike to go, flat land, still air is implied. I don't have a lot of those conditions to try, but I'm happy to cruise around 15, and maybe push it to 20 if I don't need to save my energy for a nearby hill.

Not op - you can get a similar but limited version of this from sitting behind other bikes. e-bikes are a prime target if your heading into the wind.

They are usually speed limited to below what a road bike travels at, but in bad weather they are very useful windbreaks.
"The latest estimates, using official figures, suggest that real output per employee in the median rich country is not growing at all."

If I can use an AI assistant to complete a job in 3 hours that used to take 9 hours, that's a win for me, because now I have 6 hours to spend on a personal open-source project, some family business, recreational (and healthy) exercise, or some community-beneficial volunteer activities. While this might not show up on the corporate balance sheet, it's going to make the overall society a lot healthier.

The existential risk of AI to the current socioeconomic order might have more to do with AI systems making better economic decisions than the overcompensated executive-shareholder sector does, and at far lower cost to the corporation or institution that adopts it. This makes logical sense, since the skills involved in humans climbing to positions of power in organizations (manipulation of other people, hyping up one's capabilities, clinging desperately to power, etc.) don't translate into efficient well-run operations.

The economics theory is bogus when you realize that throughout history and around the world, the economics of raising kids have been far riskier, deadlier and more meager than they are now. People have always had kids even in life or death situations.

People have always been always making babies , even when the risk of starvation, death from the elements and murder were extreme.

Even the wealthier eras were challenging, with families having 3-5 kids in cramped 1-bedroom apartments containing multiple generations even.

I'm the first to admit that prosperity has declined over the past 50 years, but the circumstances for making babies are still among the best compared to history and to 95% of the current circumstances on earth.

The actual reasoning will make people uncomfortable, hence the economics cope.
I would watch a remake of "The Producers" set in Silicon Valley with startups instead of Broadway productions.

For those unfamiliar, it's about guys who fraudulently resell the same shares in the profit of a Broadway production 25 times over, and then try to ensure that it's a failure so there won't be any profit to pay, but accidentally create a success and are ruined.

On one hand, yes, exactly. It’s building a brand and the company has money to burn.

On the other hand, that brand boost had an estimated value associated with it, and it’s wasting money to overpay for it, hence “Company Executive Taking Various Measures To Bring Costs Down Considerably” — only worth running a loss leader if it’s overall profitable.

Wonder if it was something to do with STRICT mode support not being present in the 3.12.2 release (what you probably tried)?

Our new 3.13.0 release (should be out tomorrow) supports STRICT, as have our dev builds for a few years.

That's the only situation that springs to mind for it having issues like that. Though it's also possible there was some other unknown bug at the time lurking around.

BTW: if you are looking for something to latch onto with the Olympics starting this week, the USA vs Jamaica rivalry in the short distance trace events is a great David vs. Goliath story. The two countries have been battling back and forth with each other for the top spots for the last decade or longer. The runners have flamboyant personalities and these are some of the fastest sprinters we have ever seen; both men and women. There is a documentary on Netflix called 'Sprint' that sets the stage for this Olympics.
I think it just depends on how you're able to access and use your notes. For me, backlinks were a life-saver because it's important to model relationships between individual notes. It's really helpful for synthesizing knowledge and creating output, or just exploration to find related ideas, etc. Backlinks also help with breadcrumbs, so if my memory fails (frequently) or my search fails (more often than I'd like), I can usually find what I was looking for by navigating backlinks or using hierarchical breadcrumbs (all generated automatically with backlinks in a defined property). So I get a bunch of bottom-up organization for free with minimal effort, and for me it's pretty helpful. Plain textfiles I have trouble resurfacing knowledge very quickly, but YMMV, it's really personal.
> the root cause of the disastrous security update to its Falcon Sensor program was a null pointer error in its C++ code. CrowdStrike appears to deny this.

The cited CS statement is not that. It is a statement the fail was "not related to null bytes contained in ...any... Channel File".

Very different.
It would be more correct to say that people only want to have kids they can ideally fully provide for, such as with top notch daycare (an example from the article).

I won't have kids if I cannot pay for their post-secondary education. That is clearly not a requirement in poorer countries.
By all accounts seems like this is a cure to age related bone loss. Almost everyone suffers from age related bone loss of some degree. Would like love to hear news about commercialisation of this.
This is a pretty generous reading of the study.

One result they are missing out is that the income actually reduced overall employment compared to the control group, and ended up decreasing household earnings: https://www.nber.org/papers/w32719

Even with a generous reading, it was an extremely expensive study. And similar proposals like the Negative Income Tax would cost far less money and have none of the presented downsides.

While the default is probably minimal metabolic cost, there are people I have seen who are more prone to shift their weight constantly while standing.. Almost a foot-motionless dance who are -- if doing it all day long -- probably burning serious calories that way.

While I imagine you could adapt the same to a sitting posture, you're a lot less likely to be working against your whole body weight. This observation probably applies to (some of) those "standing desk" people, too.
Classified documents plainly exist.
Is it a free material or to I need to buy it?
it's always been more expensive. daycare traditionally was only for aristocrats. multigenerational families lived in smaller apartments and cabins than single people do today. Cities used to be filled with sewage, horses and smoke. I'll concede the point on communities and I think that's a bigger contributor than economics.
If the target market is overclockers. They want to be able to override everything for a high score if they want to. My board (ASUS TRX50) has all kinds of override settings for fan speeds, voltages, TDP (whatever that does!) and a warning not to mess with them if you don't know what you're doing.

Once I was long-distance cycling in the USA during the summer, and rather fond of chocolate shakes. Somewhere at a fast food place, I got asked if I was eating in or taking out. I asked what the difference was—it seemed incongruous to ask on such an item when that’s the entirety of the order. My curiosity was rewarded: apparently there was an extra tax in that city on one or the other; so I did whichever was cheaper (and honestly, either drinking it inside, or sitting on my trike).

I even came across taxes that were only present in half a city, even—one side of a road but not the other, that kind of thing.
“True” and “False” sound like two states. This is just one. :)
I think that companies might have more success getting people back to the office if they had not also spent the past decade or two systematically updating offices to be beautiful to look at in CAD renderings but awful to actually occupy and try to work in.

This move toward not giving permanent desk assignments to people who are required to be in the office also makes it worse. Open plan offices are a bit of a productivity hit on a good day, but they're extra awful when every day it's a new set of voices to learn to tune out, and another half hour spent packing and unpacking all your shit, adjusting computer monitors to minimize glare from the overhead fluorescent lights, etc. And, if you want to actually take advantage of the co-location, 15-30 minutes spent figuring out where all your collaborators are sitting today, and scrambling for meeting rooms and huddle spaces, which are now in high demand since collaborators can no longer sit together in any sort of stable way and must instead fight for huddle space if they want to do any in-person collaboration. Alternatively you spend the entire day with headphones on (uncomfortable!) because you decide not to do that, and instead spend the whole day on team meetings because it's easier. And even headphones when you're not actively in meetings because everyone around you makes the same decision.

A couple years ago, I was eager for a return to office. That died pretty quickly after return to office happened, because the reality is that we're not returning to anything. Office life post-COVID is an entirely new thing that's worse than what office life was like pre-COVID in almost every way. And so the mandatory in-office days are, in practice, just the days that fully remote team members need to cut the hybrid members some slack for not being able to get anything done.

Very ironic coming from the same party that claims they need to "protect democracy". They aren't even allowing "open and fair" elections in their own candidate selection process, yet we're supposed to believe they will do that on a national level?

As Maya Angelou once said, when people show you who they are -- believe them.
This is an outdated philosophy that should have died long ago, and CrowdStrike's marketing itself agrees. The solution is to have zero-trust endpoints. That's what CrowdStrike claims to be doing, and that's also what it can't do. Having true zero trust endpoints absolves you of the need for something, anything, on the endpoints. It's not even as disruptive as it seems to implement.

The picture and sound is a signal meaningful _to you_. The static and white noise may be meaningful signal at a level that's inherently not meaningful to you.

The pattern the static signal creates could be analogous to the 'random pattern of neurons firing in the synapse'. You flash enough patterns of that signal and a specific combination could be considered "a thought." Who knows.

But if that happens, natural selection boils down to an iterative loop of: If not dead, try ____.

The research paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01480-8

TLDR:

They have found evidence of elemental oxygen production in a polymetallic nodule-covered abyssal seafloor in the Pacific Ocean.

However, for now they have identified neither how the dioxygen is produced nor which is the source of energy for this.

Their hypothesis for how the dioxygen is produced is that there may be a redox reaction between some metals in the polymetallic nodules, which might cause an electric current that could electrolyze the water.

However this hypothesis has very little value until an energy source is identified for it.

The voltage in a battery is not produced between metals in any state, but only between an oxidized metal and a reduced metal. The simplest batteries, like the AA or AAA batteries with saline or alkaline electrolyte, produce voltage by the reaction between reduced zinc and oxidized manganese.

So for a natural battery to form in those polymetallic nodules, some of the metals must be in a reduced state, and for them to be reduced, somewhere there should have been an energy source to provide energy for their reduction.

That must be determined to understand what happens.

> There are plenty of poor countries (and folks) having children.

Does having children impact their earning potential? The US offers a relatively high earning potential, and having children really directly interferes with that. If you don't have high earning potential, having kids may not have an appreciable impact.

Childcare alone can easily cost over $1k/mo. Daily Starbucks and eating out is nothing compared to having kids.
I don't believe I've seen anything in the TV show Silicon Valley that wasn't based on something IRL. Dig around on anything that appears in that show, and I defy you to find something that the writers just pulled out of their ass.
For your second point: That line of reasoning has traditionally resulted in underfunding of security.

It’s also quite impossible in practice.

Say that you know for a fact that CrowdStrike prevented a ransomware attack. How can you accurately assess the money saved by prevention if you don’t know what the ransom would have been set at? How can you accurately assess the value of the data loss from not paying the ransom?

You can make educated guesses in both cases, but they are still strictly in the realm of the hypothetical.
It's not just AI startups. It's almost all of them. The startup world is just a massive pump and dump scheme, and so it moves from field to field finding the next hotness. Self-driving cars, VR, EVs, AI, and so on. People soon realize that you can't just take a bunch of hipster tech employees and suddenly create non-solutions that need to have problems created for them to even be solutions, much less choosing extremely hard and ill-defined non-solutions.

I truly wonder how much of the U.S. economy has slowed down because of all this wasted effort. Is it really a good idea for every company to try and reinvent what a company is? Every startup I've been spends a non-zero amount on just re-figuring out how to be organized, how to manage people and projects, and even just figuring out the logistics and tech needed to run a company. It's a lot of wasted effort, time, and money. My time at startups has been the least effective portions of my career. Real work actually moves quite slowly at startups, in my experience.

Indeed. The problem is, in the absence of one good solution like that, there are no good solutions, as is the case with web JS. Currently (on the desktop or laptop), the best bet is hifitime's leap-seconds parser, but then the programmer is still responsible for coming up with a sane fallback path for all their target systems. (Which can be tricky for individuals to do, e.g., I have no way to tell whether the tz database is in an expected location on macOS or iOS.)

I highly recommend long-distance running and lifting. Not only do both activities require complete focus (at a high enough intensity) but they also lead to lower overall levels of anxiety throughout the rest of the day. After increasing my physical health, I've been shocked to see how much it's also improved my mental state.
They, and anyone else, is welcome to have as much avocado toast as they'd like. Just don't say that XYZ is unaffordable because their money went to other financial choices.
* too expensive
* not enough daycare even if you do have money - again too expensive to hire a private nanny
* not enough space at home - too expensive to buy a bigger home
* cities that are not made for parents and small kids - too expensive to move to cities that are

Again, I think almost everything can be reduced to "it just is too expensive".
They can (they'd have to... Otherwise most smart TVs wouldn't work for it). I'm still going to avoid their shows in protest of their closed down ecosystem though.
Immigration into the US was curtailed in the 1920s and then reopened in 1965. This period was one of relative wealth for the middle class. Since the late 60s to early 70s, the middle class has suffered an ever-decreasing quality of life. It doesn't seem like a foregone conclusion that reducing immigration will necessarily lead to a decrease in quality of life. Increase in the cost of some items (the ones whose price hinges on cheap immigrant labor) would be met by increase in wages, especially for people in the lower socio-economic rungs.

It sort of depends on what you assume become table-stakes tools. Spreadsheets reduced some work, created more work (run a bunch of alternative models), and yes probably eliminated some work--for the people fluent in them. It's probably hard to argue that spreadsheets (which have become the most inarguably successful low-code tools) have markedly decreased the amount of work their users need to do in companies.

You are right in one sense, but it’s pretty clear that terminal tricks = shell tricks. Especially because there is no singular “terminal”.

Your response ignores the fact that if you got shit anywhere else on your body (e.g., your elbow or your back), you'd likely use soap and water anyway, even if you don't touch your elbow to your face, door handles, etc.

Also, the argument isn't necessarily about preventing something bad from happening, it's also about just feeling clean. People who have not tried a bidet cannot really say whether they would feel better/cleaner with TP or a bidet. It's like if you tried to explain to someone who has only ever used wet wipes to bathe that a shower makes you feel better. Sure, wet wipes may objectively clean you but those who have used a shower can speak to the subjective benefits of feeling nicer.

The counterargument that "TP works well enough" is not a very strong one to my mind, if there's something that works better with no real downside.
