Despite no evidence, there's endless speculation and just askin' from the western media.

Contrast this to:

This statement, however, ignores that the history of women’s sport, from tennis to weightlifting to shot put, and yes to boxing, is peppered with athletes who did not conform to stereotypical, European standards of womanhood, including, ironically, European athletes.

Whereas we previously accepted that some women were indeed bigger, stronger or faster, than others, now it appears that many of us expect female athletes to be cookie-cutter images of each other and seek to punish those who do not conform. For all the growing awareness of non-binary gender, it seems we are growing less tolerant of any deviation from the stereotypical norm.

As many others have already pointed out, Khelif has been boxing in women’s competitions for many years, including at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics without these accusations arising. She has produced pictures of herself as a young girl, spoken of the challenges of boxing as a female in her Algerian culture, and has been defended by the IOC and Algerian officials.

Which leaves the Colin Wright's and others playing the maybe trans card with not much other than a vivid imagination and an apparent lack of exposure to female body types about the globe.
I get that there is probably a desire to solely blame Boeing for this - but this seems like as much of a Project Management and integration failure on the NASA side, as it does Boeing putting defective hardware/software into orbit.

It shouldn't have been allowed to happen, period.

I get that what I said will not be popular, but this has been the consensus of every previous thread on this topic that I've seen - NASA is sorta playing the role of a systems integrator here, and assumes the liability for defective components from their subcontractors, and has the ultimate supervision authority to decide if something can or cannot fly.

The title immediately reminded me of this story from 2018: https://globalnews.ca/news/4318789/one-year-old-boy-immigrat...

> The 1-year-old boy in a green button-up shirt drank milk from a bottle, played with a small purple ball that lit up when it hit the ground and occasionally asked for “agua.”

> Then it was the child’s turn for his court appearance before a Phoenix immigration judge, who could hardly contain his unease with the situation during the portion of the hearing where he asks immigrant defendants whether they understand the proceedings.

> “I’m embarrassed to ask it, because I don’t know who you would explain it to, unless you think that a 1-year-old could learn immigration law,” Judge John W. Richardson told the lawyer representing the 1-year-old boy.

> The boy is one of hundreds of children who need to be reunited with their parents after being separated at the border, many of them split from mothers and fathers as a result of the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance policy.” The separations have become an embarrassment to the administration as stories of crying children separated from mothers and kept apart for weeks on end dominated the news in recent weeks.

> Critics have also seized on the nation’s immigration court system that requires children — some still in diapers — to have appearances before judges and go through deportation proceedings while separated from their parents. Such children don’t have a right to a court-appointed attorney, and 90 percent of kids without a lawyer are returned to their home countries, according to Kids in Need of Defense, a group that provides legal representation.
It will be interesting to see how these events look after a few decades. Most countries reached for extreme measures to attempt to avoid economic disaster after the pandemic response.

It could turn out that worked with little or no important side effects. It also could turn out that the economic and social impacts are delayed by more than a few years.
I haven't used either browser's dev tools much recently so I don't have an opinion on one vs. the other, but...

Respectfully, if Chrome's dev tools are better, I feel like that's a reason to use Chrome's dev tools... not a reason to use Chrome fulltime.

It's quite rare that I have any opinion on what others do but the Chrome situation is an exception. As the article's author notes, having lived through the first browser monoculture, I'm not looking forward to the second.

It's a hard question to answer. Not all systems are equal in size, scope, and impact. K8s as a system is often the core of your infra, meaning everything running will be impacted. That coupled with their team constraints in the article make it sound like a year isn't awful.

One system I can think of off the top of my head is when Amazon moved away from Oracle to fully Amazon/OSS RDBMSs a while ago, but that was multi year I think. If they could have done it in less than a year, they'd definitely be bragging.

Biological sex is binary. Not all humans have two arms, but it would be wrong to say the number of arms we have is “a spectrum”. 99% of people start out with two arms. If you think that the number of arms humans have is some unknowable value because amputees exist, that doesn’t make sense to me, it favors a technically correct philosophical argument over reality.

Biologist Richard Dawkins agrees (though his argument is much better stated than mine): https://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2023/07/biological-sex-bi...

Note that this doesn’t really “solve” all parts of the debate around gender and sports, but it’s a good starting point.
Thanks for writing this. As somebody who survived the first browser monoculture, it makes me sick that we're so eager to go back to those days.

I use both FF and Chrome all day long for work and I do not have any gripes with FF.

I do have gripes with Chrome and its lack of customizability.
I’d guess whatever band it is, is at least one full notch less-prominent and -successful than that one.
It is downvoted because it is a low effort sarcastic comment which provides no real contribution to the discussion. Your comment actually provides real feedback as to where there are currently issues.
> I get that there is probably a desire to solely blame Boeing for this

I'm sorry, where do you see this impulse? I'm just not following.
this is not a productive discussion. the web is not dying because people choose to use chromium engine.

what ends up happening in these discussions - people become ideologues. for some people - firefox works for them - that's okay. for some people - chrome ends up having less memory leaks e.g on apple silicon.

fortunately safari, firefox exist. and yeah google makes chrome - but microsoft / brave etc have their own flavors.

so choose your own poison.

These points are both highly contested, yet you say them as if they are foregone conclusions.
This is silly for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is that there are already "weight classes" for many sports as a way to have different body types compete on a more equal playing field. Perhaps dividing competitors by gender is arbitrary, but all game rules are arbitrary.

If we want to remove gender from the equation, perhaps we should have "testosterone classes" where athletes compete against others with a similar testosterone level.

Asset Tokenization Platform for Your Tech Gadgets
Hello fellow Hackers.
I'm Celestino. My team and I have created a simple platform that helps you turn your most valuable tech gadgets into digital assets.

Our extension works with Amazon, Alibaba, and Aliexpress, letting you unlock value from your gadgets right from when you purchase them online. You also get to buy a utility NFT (like a property title) backed by a DAO LLC for added legal protection.

We’ve got an Android wallet for storing these 'tokenized' assets and your titles that you can use right here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasiriwall... .

An iOS version of the wallet is on the way. To be the first person to know when it's ready, you can register to our waitlist in seconds right here: https://quiz.typeform.com/to/BOu5qqR8 .
There's something wrong with your experience, because the entire point of making a new system is that it will eventually move faster than the old one.

Maybe your strangling software is still too ambitious.
I was curious how good a transcription I could get from what may be the best multimoldal LLM currently, Gemini-1.5-Pro-Experiment-0801, so I had it transcribe five minutes of an interview between Ezra Klein and Nancy Pelosi from earlier today. The results are here:

https://www.gally.net/temp/20240809geminitranscription/index...

Aside from some minor punctuation and capitalization issues, Gemini’s transcription looks nearly perfect to me. There were only one or two words that I think it misheard. If I had transcribed the audio myself, I would have made more mistakes than that.

One passage struck me in particular:

And then he comes up with "weird," which becomes viral and the rest, and here he is.

How did Gemini know to put “weird” in quotation marks, to indicate—correctly—that the speaker was referring to Walz’s use of the word as a word? According to Politico, Walz first used the word in that context in the media on July 23.

Sure, but people lament the lack of trans-national US trains. If even taking high speed rail in a region of the world known for good trains (Europe), a normal-ish kind of travel pattern would take 23 hours versus 5 hours, why would people choose the train?

Don't get me wrong, I'm generally pro-train. I'm super excited for the prospects of the Texas bullet train. Trains can make a lot of sense to a certain distance. But why would you pick it for a 2,000km trip?
Bitcoin Mining Is So Back (Except It's AI Now)
I'd really love to see someone compare this to Apollo era hardware, I know there were significant defects that required rework during the Apollo era - this is an organizational competency issue within Boeing, NASA and the United States, we've lost the organization competencies to organize projects like this - that doesn't mean they're gone forever, just that those skills must be rebuilt.

I also feel like some of this, being starliner or SLS issues are shades of the "good, fast, cheap, pick two" problem.
Not to worry, they're coming home. On a SpaceX capsule.
Depends entirely on the AWD system.

Many will do what you’re describing—getting a front and rear wheel off the ground at the same time will leave it stranded. A limited slip center differential will ensure if one axle loses traction the power goes to the other, but many vehicles cheap out and have open differentials on each axle, meaning when one on each axle loses traction it’s just spinning wheels.

Some vehicles have limited slip front/rear/front+rear differentials that avoid this issue. Many newer vehicles simply use the traction control and brakes to avoid it—if a wheel is spinning, it applies the brakes to provide resistance and redirect some torque back to the other wheel.

Like many others are saying, “AWD” is such a broad term as to be basically meaningless.

Development speed and conciseness is what sells Python. Something simple like being able to do `breakpoint()` anywhere and get an interactive debugger is unmatched in Go.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but this entire thread misses the forest for the trees. Rules & regulations don't exist to create equality or fairness, it's to foster competition. We don't watch competitions for how equal and fair they are. By separating competition by gender, we have increased the opportunities to witness competitiveness. How, going forward, can we maximize that metric? That will be the future of sport.
I have my doubts. Do they even provide any support for apps on the app store? At the same time they’re paing truck load to lawyers and are about to fork off 10-20% of their global revenue for playing a subborn teenager.

Scamming is partly intense psychological violence, and its financial and psychological consequences are far reaching, and here at an unfathomable scale - an entire city of people! In this sense they terrorize people. And they should likewise be relentlessly pursued and sentenced as a consequence. That city would go to war against them if they were one.

But yeah, i don't know, maybe we need a new word for such criminals. The superlative for murderers is "mass murderers". "Mass scammers?"
I hope this comment is actually readable, because someone, totally ignoring HN guidelines on flagging, keeps downvoting and flagging my comments seemingly just because they disagree. I'd prefer if they engaged in the debate instead of simply shutting it down so that none of us can learn anything.

I'm not saying it's impossible to know anything about the world, I'm making an internal critique of your worldview. I'm saying that in your worldview, which seems to be pure materialism, it is impossible to justify epistemic claims about the world. To reduce thousands of years of philosophy to "stoned conversations at 3am" is disingenuous and, forgive me, points to a lack of understanding of the history of philosophy on your part.

These aren't just points I'm pulling out of thin air, I'm simply rehashing dialogues and arguments made by the likes of Aristotle and David Hume - arguments which have not been refuted since, at least in the public domain. I urge you to read about Hume's theory of Induction, and the Is/Ought distinction. You could also do well to read Aristotle's dialogue with the sophists.

>While that's great for stoned conversations at 3am, it's not very useful.

What is "useful" in a purely materialist worldview? How can the objective "usefulness" of something be ascertained in a world where nothing objective exists, since universals and objectivity are in the domain of metaphysics?

> If I don't make such assumptions -- if I just conclude that I can never know anything about the world, not even provisionally -- then what's the point in doing anything?

Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head. In a purely material universe, where to know anything is impossible without "pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps" (so to speak) in terms of metaphysics, there is absolutely no reason to do anything. The universe becomes totally without meaning, aka "Disteleological".

But then this creates a paradox - if everything is meaningless, even the claim that everything is meaningless becomes, itself, meaningless. This is an impossible position to hold, and is self refuting.

So the only other position we can hold is that there are metaphysical concepts, and that they do hold ontological status (they exist) and relate to our universe. To suggest that consciousness, which is as invisible and untouchable as logic, yet has a similar effect on the physical world, isn't one among these metaphysical concepts is absurd.

I’m an avid Firefox user at home. Dev tools on Firefox are just better.

At work, Firefox is forbidden and I can’t install it. For « security » reasons. I swear.

The only browser I have the right to use is Chrome.
I’ve worked on internal tooling for companies for more than a decade now.

If you can get the right people, it is absolutely worth it. You gain complete alignment of incentives. You can easy access. You gain rapid turn around.

If you get the wrong devs, you also gain missed deadlines, a mess that is difficult to work with, solutions that don’t solve problems.

Basically, if you can hire the right people, it would almost certainly be worth it.
> all that will happen is that human development will slow down: after all if it requires a generation of human scientists to die so that new ideas can be accepted then

It isn’t obvious to me that that is given. An alternative would be that the breadth of parallel ideas would expand, more competition. There could then also be more depth because individuals behind groundbreaking ideas can build on their cognitive foundations for longer.

One major change, which it thibk would be a positive is that we will be directed to thibk more long term. With extreme life extension, the cosmos also becomes smaller because we could travel and explore space and time more extensively.
SAP?

An alternative to this strategy might be to have your own software team that builds tools and processes for you to "work with" or "work around" your primary software without fully replacing it.

As others have mentioned, what you want is achievable, if managed the right way, with the migration done in stages.( Trying to replace the whole thing in one jump would be very risky.)

In the real world though its quite easy to miss requirements, some quirk of the existing software nobody really thinks is a feature, except that one person in the office who has gotten used to abusing that quirk to achieve a task.

There is also possibly a lot of domain knowledge that the software team you hire might not be versed in, which can be tricky, although this is partially solved by having a good project lead and strong communication between the teams (software and non-software)

Where is might get more tricky is if you to adhere to certain ISO/etc certifications.

In terms of security features, it lacks on-the-fly external memory (flash and PSRAM) encryption and decryption as ESP32 and some newer STM32s did.

You might want to consider relative scale: yes, there has been malware in the App Store but the questions you should be asking are how long it stays there, how quickly it’s blocked and existing installs removed, and what level of access it had. Look at the product pages for spyware marketed to distrustful parents and abusive spouses, for example, and notice how much less they can do on something like iOS or ChromeOS compared to a full desktop operating system and you’ll understand why this is discussed as a trade off rather than absolute good/bad terms.
