This is the same argument the authors make to reviewer #3:

"At this moment, we think that the thermal energy can be supplied to the devices from the surrounding air which possesses thermal energy such as 25 meV at room temperature. The air surrounding the devices can be considered as an infinite heat bath, and the analogized conditions of steady light irradiation in a solar cell, i.e., “photon absorption,” are considered to be formed by “phonon absorption.”"

This sounds like nonsense to me- I don't think a solar cell would function without a gradient either, e.g. if the cell itself were the same temperature as the light source.

James Bond: license to laugh
There is no difference in the end. It is still a single collision domain for everyone talking.

And who's to say they want to join your mesh and not Bob's super awesome mesh? Or start their own mesh? Oh, you get to decide how to operate the mesh but I can't? I guess you'll end up getting some kind of license so you can standardize how this particular mesh should operate and prevent others from running competing services on the same frequencies as your one mesh.

You'll put out standards on what kinds of devices are certified to work on it and ensure certain settings so tx/rx errors are reduced to ensure good usage. You'll start encouraging people to not put up more nodes in a certain area because it's just getting too crowded here, but hey we need to incentivize someone to set up a node on the other side of town.

Snap now it seems like we're running a regular carrier.

I participate and use city-sized WiFi mesh networks in the amateur radio world. They're not anywhere near a replacement for what normal people think of as internet connectivity. I can't imagine swapping WiFi for 5G cellular stacks would end up making a radical difference. The issues are largely with having to make multiple wireless hops, mesh routing inefficiencies/problems, and having everyone actually play nice all the time.
That doesn't justify any inhumane behavior we see happening.
Totally agree. For the 'Portfolio' strategy to be effective you need all the bets to be of a comparable size. If I place 20 $1 bets and 1 $10,000 bet, winning the $1 ones is going to be cold comfort to losing the $10,000 one.

Similarly if I regret a 10 year relationship that ends in divorce, something like finding a great new restaurant isn't going to even that out.
Ended up starting to write my own network analysis tool. Most of these tools don’t fit in with “home lab” type networks. Probably should finish it and share it here, might actually fit people’s use cases.

I wonder how this is even possible. The only scenario I can think of involves a page fault on the page table itself (i.e., the page is locked into memory, but a page fault occurs during virtual-to-physical address translation). Does anyone know the real reason?
Yes, if you can afford it. Bussing is feasible, and some communities (not nearly enough) are good about providing or have non-profits that operate shuttles for those in need as well.

A typical suburb will often have apartments near retail areas, but residential districts without alternate transit options may as well be deep rural if your only option is walking through intersections without traffic lights.

I’m not totally sure what makes this result so novel but also that’s probably due to my ignorance. Hyperfine qubits are pretty common using neutral atoms, and you can do imaging on the hyperfine states. Is the novelty here that the electron spin is on resonance with the nuclear spin and that it’s done with STM? I guess I don’t see how pump-probe is so much more direct than using an imaging transition.

The future of GenerativeCAD and fall of Autodesk / Solidworks
Text to CAD has been achieved. Various forms of these multimodal Generative CAD solutions have strong potential of replacing Autodesk / Solidworks. Generative CAD will soon meet the needs of not just regular people but enterprises which are the main customers of Autodesk and Solidworks. When generative CAD takes over, how will AutoDesk and Solidworks cope with people who are building with these tools?

https://zoo.dev/text-to-cad <- Is proof that we have foundation models on CAD. Neither Autodesk's Bernini nor Solidworks meet what a startup is able to do these days.
Category Comparison (table-based solutions): "How are you different than Retool/Airtable/Coda/Notion/Zapier Tables, etc."

The primary difference vs table-based solutions is that Sourcetable is a spreadsheet in the common sense of the word, similar to Excel and Sheets. We have A1 notation and cell-based referencing. This is what most users expect, and this flexibility/familiarity has a big impact on the breadth of users and use cases within a team.

The formula referencing system of these table-based solutions is usually very limited both to columns/rows (not cells), and is a set of SQL-based queries which are much more limited than that 500+ formulas and functions spreadsheet users commonly expect.

Retool specifically: I tend to think of Retool as a lightweight custom-ERP software system, whereas Sourcetable more like Excel + PowerBI + Data Warehouse, so we will generally be much stronger for reporting and analysis. We definitely have some overlap in potential users since technical operators should like us both. FWIW - Retool is an excellent product.

> I do register that as a problem but it's the same kind of problem as bad weather. Nothing can be done about it.

Yes there is. From Europe's side, one of the most basic things that can be done is stop taking in tourists from a nation hell-bent on starting wars of invasion with neighboring countries and threaten the whole world with nuclear Armageddon.

Cutting economic ties is also a good strong start.

If those hypothetical tourists don't feel strongly about their own nation conducting genocide or bombing hospitals or blowing up damns then perhaps in the very least they should understand that it's something that can negatively affect them too and perhaps, even for the worst possible reasons such as inconveniencing their travel plans, that should not be something they support.

And yet here we are, arguing that changes in travel plans are unfair while ignoring a full blown existencial war.

They took us for absolute fools
My first tech job was for a small IT consulting company that specialized in open source solutions in the early 2000's. The owner was basically the sales and overall strategy guy, I did consulting and implementations with clients, and most everyone else specialized in either their own low-level tech or business stuff.

At our height, the owner started bringing in more projects than our current workflow could handle. Customers started getting angry because their projects would slip through the cracks and get delayed if they weren't calling us up weekly to nag us for status. I sort of became the project manager by default because I touched most of the projects in some way and I was the go-to guy when someone had a question about the status of a project. I wasn't really happy about this because I liked doing tech stuff more than I liked managing projects.

In an attempt to preserve my sanity and get back to logging billable hours, I grabbed a deck of blank index cards and wrote down the company name, project name, status and for each project we had. (I didn't like spreadsheets at the time and this was faster than writing code.) That way, I didn't have to actively remember the status of every project. When needed or when asked, I could just grab the card and look. Once a week or so, I would update the status of each project on the card.

Not long after, I got to noticing that there was really only four (or five, I don't recall) states that any project could be in and decided to stop writing them on the cards. Instead I placed the cards in dedicated piles that represented the project's status and moved them around as needed. That worked well. Eventually, I thought it would good if everyone on the team could see the projects and their status as well, so I grabbed an old whiteboard, hung it on the wall behind me, drew a column for each status, and taped all the cards into the column corresponding to their status. This was a BIG improvement. I stopped wasting an hour every morning just going over project status with the boss and other employees. Everyone could just walk over to the area near my desk and look at the wall behind me. (It was an open-plan office before those were "cool.") Others could move the cards between columns themselves. When a client called demanding an update, I could just glance behind me.

A few jobs later, I took a compulsory three-day seminar on Agile and saw that they called this thing a Kanban board.

That's less a "mesh" than it is a community-run WISP.

Mesh would be each home (or some percentage of the homes) act as nodes. These have all the homes hit a few towers around the city. Traffic isn't routed directly between (or through) the homes in this example, it is all centralized. They hit a single big tower that then does all the routing.
I don't see government monopolies as immediate red flags.

In most nations it's widely accept that the state has a monopoly on violence (usually through the police force), and it's not clear to me what a good alternative to that would be.

I also want my government to have a monopoly on taxation, I don't want any private company or gang to be able to just collect taxes from me, without any repercussion.

As for secrets? We probably have to distinguish a bit between secrets/data at rest vs. secrets/data in transit. I could well imagine that a good balance between security and privacy could require some tradeoffs when it comes to data in transit.

Wow, thanks for sharing, incredible stuff. I'm happily surprised to see this upvoted on here, I guess HN hides a sizable-yet-silent group of my fellow hopeless hippies!

Before approaching the content, the writing style here is one of the best versions of the vaguely french provocative style loved by psychoanalysts -- this is what Zizek, Boudrillard, and Foucault are/were ever striving towards. Occasionally funny yet deadly serious, poetically symbolic yet scientifically minded, and unique yet eminently comprehensible. It's infectious!

Pre-cybernetic machines could be haunted; there was always the spectre of the ghost in the machine. This dualism structured the dialogue between materialism and idealism that was settled by a dialectical progeny, called spirit or history, according to taste.

In case anyone hasn't read Hegel yet, now you don't have to -- a beautifully succinct summary of his whole project.

Intense pleasure in skill, machine skill, ceases to be a sin, but an aspect of embodiment. The machine is not an it to be animated, worshipped, and dominated. The machine is us, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment. We can be responsible for machines; they do not dominate or threaten us. We are responsible for boundaries; we are they.

One day, when I start up a software engineering institute for the (a?) new era, I'll get this quote chiselled in massive letters above the entryway. This is the end of the road (or a blind turn?) that starts with facetious hypotheticals about self driving cars, such as "who's to blame if there's an accident", "how should the car weight different human lives", "how do we deal with the anxiety of choosing externally-provided safety over self-determined risk", etc (see https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/trolley-5 and https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/self-driving-car-ethics). My code is more meaningfully my body than a cancer cell would be, and the jury's still out on how it might compare to the rest of my ever-decaying fleshy bits.

Race, gender, and capital require a cyborg theory of wholes and parts. There is no drive in cyborgs to produce total theory, but there is an intimate experience of boundaries, their construction and deconstruction... We have all been injured, profoundly. We require regeneration, not rebirth, and the possibilities for our reconstitution include the utopian dream of the hope for a monstrous world without gender.

... and this, in turn, will go above the doors to the New World Order headquarters.

Thanks again, OP. I'll have to look into this author more!
I feel like I've been reading about variations on this concept (storing data in crystals using a pair of lasers) for my whole life. I've never seen articles about anything other than research stage work though... no companies trying to commercialize, no engineering prototypes, etc.

I could just have missed them, but the longevity of the idea compared to lack of product makes me wonder what the hold-up is... too expensive to make? Bad data transfer rates?

On its surface (pun not intended) a super long-lasting high capacity, write-only storage medium seems to have all sorts of good use cases, so I can't imagine a lack of demand would be a problem.. without some deeper technical holdback.

let's rewrite to "no living human encountering the text" and we find that, e.g., we can delve deeply into early 1800s texts, worldviews, and experiences and produce something shocking and strange to encounter.

there's a whole light genre of cracked-esque material "10 things you had no idea about from back when" that exists, just dial that up to 11. Get _deep_, and you will put the player / reader into someplace most will never have dreamed of. ( https://writerthereseoneill.com/ makes a specialty of doing pop history in that genre - I recommend her books)

imo when you dig hard enough into a very different human society, you start getting into the heavy questions of "what makes us human", and that is _interesting_.
I love a good PM. Trust me, you don't want to be responsible for all the reporting and status updates and all that they have to deal with daily.

Yes we don't yet have the full auto-suggest magic that Sheets offers, but you can click-drag for auto-complete the same way Excel offers.

Socialists generally despise co-ops, volitional communities (eg. Hutterites) because they work, and provide long-running, successful examples of the benefits espoused by socialists, but ...

There is no amount of other people's blood and treasure a socialist is unwilling to risk.

Ask HN: Are any other startups using ChatGPT to streamline internal processes?
We're a 35 person fintech, bootstrapped, growing steadily year on year.

Listening to our team, they see horizontal communications across the business as an area that we can improve upon as we continue to scale and grow our team size.

To address this we have more cross departmental meetings on a regular basis to ensure speedier and more joined up decision making/information sharing. However, we only invite those that directly contribute to the meeting to attend. This ensures we avoid meetings taking up too much time for people across the business.

We're experimenting with using ChatGPT to summarize these meetings so that anybody with an interest in the subject matter being discussed gets updated. That includes me as the CEO!

I wondered if anybody else has been using ChatGPT or similar to enhance processes? Keen to hear ideas!

Russians in Europe - where they have excellent access to free media and are under no such pressure - hold similar views, toned down due to public stigma.

Even Tim Berners Lee has been dreaming of this for decades, but the world is still stuck in HTML-land for the foreseeable future.

An alternative to one big queue is a separate queue for each client (external customers, internal teams, the dev team's own tech debt, etc) as described in "JIT selection from independent streams: An alternative to the “big backlog” of work":

https://longform.asmartbear.com/jit-backlogs/

Each client manages their queue order, so the dev team just needs to focus on the head of each queue. (Of course, the dev team should also work with clients to clarify the requirements for the next few tasks in their queues so the head task will be shovel-ready). The dev team can then choose which queue heads to prioritize and maintain a balance, such as always have one tech debt task and X bug fix tasks in progress in addition to client work.
