Although the Big Bang is widely referred to as a theory, cosmologists actually categorize it as a model not a theory. Does that mean it's not scientific? No. It's just that a lot of cosmology isn't testable, per se. The same is true for the historical sciences in general (evolutionary biology, geology).

Thank you @srikanth235 for the post.

Hey HN!

I’m Karthik from Kloudlite. As a developer, I know firsthand how frustrating slow development loops can be—constantly switching between workspaces and environments, waiting on builds and deploys just to test a small change. It’s especially painful in complex microservices architectures.

So we started kloudlite, in an attempt to fasten development workflows. We’ve written a blog that breaks down the problem and explores different solutions.

We’ve chosen a network-driven approach, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

Looking forward to your feedback!
Side note, Safari ad-blocking is in a perfectly fine state and I haven't seen an ad online in years.
Soulseek was a goldmine for those interested in rare/unofficial recordings (including from rehearsals, smaller gigs, etc). I'm from a Small Country, so our alternative music scene has all kinds of surprising links between people. In the early 2000s, when irresponsible mp3-pirating was, like, the most obvious thing to do over here, some of those "well connected people" would put all kinds of crazy "kitchen recordings" online sometimes. Also, lots of vinyl/cassette rips that were not so easy to find. I collected a lot of gems this way, and probably spent hours and hours every week in Soulseek. And, thus, in geeky music.

It was a great environment: one where pirating (alternative) music really did almost feel like a noble cultural act -- as in, hey, we're sharing this stuff and thus help to keep these (tiny) scenes alive. It is quite possible that the fan base of many alternative groups increased somewhat thanks to Soulseek. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking by an embarrassed former pirate. :)

IIRC, the UI of Soulseek was great, too. Really simple and fast. Good times.
The selling point of modular reactors is that they are built on a production line and that the next one is identical to the one before. But why not apply this principle to large reactors? After all there are plenty of reactors that operate reliably so why not just dust off the drawings and build another one just like the one before?

> but something tells me if you do you'll find our Canadian [...] friends are doing drastically better than those in Jackson, MS.

Perhaps true, but also keep in mind that Canada and the US were on more equal standing until the last five years or so, when we started to see a significant divergence emerge. You can ride on the past for a while. Assuming the trend continues, it may simply be that it is too early to see Canada turn into Mississippi.
> In this way, would you consider WordPress to be open-core as well, considering the amount of paid plugins there are available?

Because several of those are sold by Automattic, the company that owns wordpress, I have made that argument before, yes.
I dunno. I have a natural affinity for continuous vs discrete functions. But I also think thresholds cause bad behavior when you are near a threshold; you try to game the system by exceeding the threshold while trying to appear to be below it.

Corporate accountants are sophisticated enough to deal with formulae, and small businesses would be unaffected as the function changes very slowly at small numbers so even an error would likely not materially affect your return.

Calculation of market share would be more problematic.

And of course if you don’t like logarithms then choose your favorite exponential function.
The World Bank's updated global poverty estimate highlights the challenges many countries face. For banking customers dealing with hardships, it's important to consider support options. For example, Lakeland Bank https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/lakeland-bank/custome... offers typical banking services like loans and mortgages. However, some customers report issues with support, especially during financial distress. On sites like PissedConsumer, users have shared experiences about communication and service speed, which could help you understand how to navigate such situations
All right, apparently I worded that badly. The evidence presented in the article is limited to two carcasses from 1898. So the headline should be parsed as "these two specific 19th century lions preyed on humans and giraffes". And my comment should be parsed as "what we know from this evidence is limited to two specific lion carcasses from 1898".
I'm the author.
For the record, I read your entire post before downvoting it, which I did because I disagree both with your diagnosis and its prescription (or perhaps I should say proscription).

While there is somewhat of a crisis of adulthood, I find it feasible to salvage the concept without carrying forward the sort of smothering social conformity you seem to advocate as a necessary condition.
> do you not think that in a world where all the bridges are made of wood it would be notable to say that a new bridge is made of steel?

Notable, sure. But it could turn out to be Tacoma Narrows bridge.

We never did build large bridges out of wood, I think. For the right context, wood is still a preferred material for some bridges.
You’re the only one here fascinated with this haplotype. Which is odd, considering you yourself call it inconsequential. Nobody but you has equated it with anything, and you have specifically said it does not equate to anything. So all in all this is just a textbook strawman, which I have no interest in further considering.
Is it not the case that as BMI increases the risk increases? My BMI is not healthy - and I don’t deny that makes me subject to increased risk - but I would still think morbidly obese is far worse than obese which is worse than overweight, in terms of risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.

Giraffes are a difficult prey, so not many lions attempt to hunt them.

For those who do this, it is a team action. Many lionesses are necessary to tire the giraffe and reduce its possibilities of movement. After the lionesses have tired the giraffe, a big male lion is required to kill it, by jumping on giraffe's back, then biting and holding its throat, to suffocate it.

Lions use the same method for all big and dangerous prey.

Smaller prey is hunted only by the lionesses, but big prey like buffaloes, giraffes or baby elephants is first harassed by the lionesses and later, when tired enough, it is killed by the male through suffocation.
I don't think you can tell it is AI except that it is long. All long blocks of text now are AI because humans have already stopped being as verbose?

This seems like a pretty big shift that has happened pretty fast, that any blocks of long text are automatically assumed to be AI.

Biologists have investigated a number of systems which, given the nature of evolution, bear eerie resemblance to the systems engineers have designed to solve similar problems.

Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellum#Motor
Over the decades people gradually uncovered more and more of the structure and ultimately recognized that the flagellum motor has components that correspond to engineered motors, with rotors, stators, energy sources, rings, bearings, etc.
Amusingly, after all the effort, we recognized that the motor greatly resembles ATP synthase- one of the most core energy management proteins we have (which carries out a totally unrelated function).

I imagine that any rationally designed human engineering product could be understood by a biophysicist with no real technical knowledge beyond basic electrical and mechanical engineering.

See also "The Salvation of Doug", which gives an absolutely hilarious analogy between using scientific methods to understand biology, and reverse-engineering a car factory:

"""Emboldened by his successes, the next morning the
geneticist tied the hands of an individual dressed in a suit
and carrying a briefcase in one hand and a laser pointer in
the other (he was a vice president). That evening the
geneticist, and Doug (although he would not openly
admit it), anxiously waited to see the effect on the cars.
They speculated that the effect might be so great as to
prevent the production of the cars entirely. To their
surprise, however, that afternoon the cars rolled off the
assembly line with no discernible effect."""
Thank you! Yeah, that looks like the pipeline from mediapipe (used for ML face detection) has troubles initializing the WebGL context. I don't see immediately any settings for disabling WebGL in Safari, but I'm sure there's some feature flags for that. Do you remember touching any settings related to this? I'm wondering if it's related to some browser settings, an extension (?) or something else.

Edit: tested on M2 and Safari 18.0 and I cannot reproduce it. Updating now to 15.0.1 to see if that makes a difference.

I do agree with you in principle and it’s nice when professionals come together and the work experience is fluid. No need for policy.

But that rarely happens and you need these kind of safeguards and directive for the team to be productive at all. It especially avoid discussions about who’s right.

This feels not even wrong.

The American economy is generating massive amounts of goods and services. This is a relatively hard fact.

The effect of the dollar being a worldwide currency is complex and not so straightforward. Strong demand for dollars actually would increase dollar value, which would increase borrowing costs, ceteris paribus. The US then increases money supply, to accommodate. It’s unclear that this dramatically increases GDP.

Unless your assertion is that the financial industry is overdeveloped? I don’t think it’s more than 10% of GDP off the top of my head.

Apple products are not commodity, because there is very little fungibility due to network effects.

Maybe their hardware is commodity (arguable), but the product + integrations are not.
I guess in response to the titular question posed throughout the article: the roots of apathy make sense (tho no less displeasing or unstrategic) when you consider that in the face of something of obviously greater authority, all those who formerly were in authority, no longer feel they are.

So...what are they to do, but nothing?

Their raison d'être has been removed by an undeniable demonstration of a superior command, of the universe - of which we consider ourselves master.

A deflated inertia, and apathy, of those previously in power, is maybe expected, when it's demonstrated, publicly and undeniably, that they're not.

UFOs showing up is sort of like an off-switch for Earth authorities. "Go to sleep", "Look upon my works ye mighty and despair", but not vast and trunkless, vast and still there, flying overhead. Heh! :)

Uh, I doubt it.

At the companies that would be affected, they would simply divest. Shareholders would not tolerate the destruction of value so new companies would be created, spinning off parts of the original company (products and employees) into new companies.

In fact employment might increase as these new companies would need administrative functions that were previously shared in the larger original company (HR, accounting, etc)

I will always find these type of explorations fascinating. Number theory is so mysterious. I liked these two sentences from the article:

> “Mathematics is not just about proving theorems — it’s about a way to interact with reality, maybe.”

This one I like it because in the current trend of trying to achieve theorem proving in AI only looking at formal systems, people rarely mention this.

And this one:

> Just what will emerge from those explorations is hard to foretell. “That’s the problem with originality,” Granville said. But “he’s definitely got something pretty cool.”

When has that been a "problem" with originality? Hahah but I understand what he means.
Ah, so the model "sees" the tags as literal ASCII characters interspersed with special tokens? That would make more sense.
No, purchasing power is down. Costs of living have gone up more than median wages. How much gold can you buy with USD today vs. 10 years ago? Less because the USD is worth less than it was. How much housing can you buy with $100,000 or with 1,000 hours of labor? Less housing.

Young people are objectively doing bad. Not trying to be depressing, but economically, behaviorally, health-wise, (at the median) they are worse off than their parents.

yes making it working for all basic needs is the key to expand into a huge user space, from where you can find paid users much easier.

But hey, it's all fake news. When the next Dunkelflaute happens, the citizens are supposed to just sit in their cold homes and think how great renewable generation is during the other times.

I'd like to see financial transactions and purchases abide by some json format standard, metadata and a list of items with full product name, quantity purchased, total unit volume/amount of product, price, and unit price.
Many of these devices aren’t actually fungible commodities though.I tried to buy a phone in the $200 range and Android phones were so much worse than used iPhones. I they would drop calls and freeze on the dial pad during long calls where I was on hold. Tried two different models and had the same issues. I could have tried a used $200 Android but I was not wanting to try for a third Android. All I wanted/needed was to make important calls.

So I guess I don’t see them as commodities which implies fungibility.

Celebrating 20 Years of GSoC
Wasn't a founder at the time so feel free to ignore the rest of this, but…after five soul crushing, burn out generating, years as the main guy in the dot com era I took a ~7 month sabbatical. It was awesome, totally reset and cleared my head, allowed me to mentally review what I’d learned and separate the good lessons from the bad. But I did not structure the down time well and felt that I wasted about a third of the time I was out. The biggest downside was that on returning…people wanted me to just go back to what I was doing and I wasn't interested in that at all.

My advice: figure out where you want to go first, even if only as a hazy general notional direction. Is your goal to return to the organization renewed and ready to keep going on what you're doing? Or to find a different path?

Nuclear's electrical output can indeed be turned down, by over-cooling the steam in the turbines. The reactor is putting out the same power, but less electricity is generated since you're deliberately increasing waste heat. This is not efficient so it's rarely done.

Furthermore, too much energy is a far easier problem to solve than too little energy. People can desalinate water, or do any other energy intensive things.
Would be nice if Apple also introduced a new base iPad with at least support for a decent Apple Pencil. I want to buy my wife an iPad, but she wants to draw and the Apple Pencil USB-C doesn't support presure levels, so it is either a base iPad with an old Apple Pencil 1st Gen (that still is lightining) or paying extra for the iPad Air and Apple Pencil 2nd Gen/Pro. The fact that Apple Pencil USB-C doesn't support presure levels at ALL is infuriating too.
