>First, TSMC's capacity isn't full right now.

Taiwan fabrication labs, where the most cutting edge tech is produced, are above capacity. This is the core of this discussion.

They are building new fabs inside and outside of Taiwan to catch up to demand, but as of now those are one or more generations behind.

To the rest of your initial statement, it starts with a flawed premise so not worth responding.

>I think Taiwan is being put as a sacrificial lamb almost by the US and I think it's in Taiwan's best interest to play to both sides more.

I am citizen, not a resident.

Taiwan's position as the first chain island is it's primary strategic advantage to both US as well as other Asian neighboring countries in the region.

Taiwan follows international law in effort to maintain and regain it's international standing. Taiwan maintains diplomatic and trade relations with China,but recognize that China is actively taking direct actions to limit Taiwan's political and economical relations and growth.

Reliance on a hostile neighbor that continually reminds you they will force unification by military action if necessary is a losing game, and trusting carrots like "one nation, two systems" lost all credibility with the downfall of Hong Kong.
I think it's because the Bayesian was the boat that sank killing its owner, UK entrepreneur Mike Lynch. The boat was called the Bayesian because he was a mathematician and that was the basis of his career.

It's also interesting because the boat was notable for having the tallest mast of its kind, and then sunk partly (one would guess) because of that. The boat sink quickly because hatches were left open in the warm weather. There was also discussion of weird weather phenomena being the cause.

He was also in the news shortly beforehand for fighting US prosecutors tooth and nail against a fraud case and recently beating them. Of course there are conspiracy theories that the two are connected, especially as his business partner died within a week while out jogging!

The whole thing is pretty interesting overall.
Yeah, but I bet you don't have iced tea makers there. ;-)

Fun fact: growing up in Texas, I'd never seen hot tea until my mid-teens, despite drinking iced tea every day. That's why Brits have electric kettles everywhere. We call them hot-pots and they were at least common for students to have, mainly for making instant noodles.

Also funny: the normal sized tea bag I saw growing up was gallon sized.

Even now, as an adult living in Europe that does have an electric kettle, I don't use it much, and I'm not sure it's worth the counter space. They don't heat water much faster than the stove or microwave, and unless you're making loads of tea, as British folks are wont to do, it's not obvious why you'd need one. I bought one when I was experimenting with an Aeropress, but now have an espresso machine.

Learning about new cultures is exactly what makes moving to a different culture fun, but when you're a teacher, you have to know how your school functions, because you have to enforce order within that institution. I was surprised that my American colleagues hadn't considered that British schools might work differently from American ones. It's not an issue of understanding the differences, but knowing that there are differences.

I've never read Speer's autobiography, but I read somewhere that von Ribbentrop was the only one with any experience of working outside Germany. In any case, I'm not sure I'd want to use a group of leading ethno-nationalists as an example of how ordinary humans think about other cultures.
It is also in honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, some fruits, and some vegetables. In otherwords, it is pretty available in healthy foods.

Fructose itself isn't unhealthy. It also isn't unhealthy if there is a little in most things you eat - assuming you are eating healthy amounts of fruits and vegetables, you'll wind up eating fructose. Like a lot of things, overconsumption is bad and adding sugars to everything isn't the best thing.

> Flip-side, extending the keel would have changed the ship's draft from 4m to 10m. The ship was dragging its anchor. I don't have a chart of the waters the ship was in, but running its deep keel into the bottom could also have ended badly. Has that consideration been mentioned?

It was mentioned in some article that the wreck lies 50m deep, so it seems that even with the keel extended they wouldn't have been in imminent danger of grounding.
> Like there there is an ability to accept that markets produce negative results for society

That's not mutually exclusive with regulatory capture. The problem of excessively large motor vehicles in the US is contributed to by both deliberate quirks of the tax system and a zero sum bidding war to be the biggest on the road, for example.

About 30 seconds for me because I can't watch talking heads (especially that close to camera) which have jump cuts between sentences. If you can't read it all smoothly in one go, don't appear on camera!

Not it doesn't - capitalism has been off the rails for at least a decade or two. Not going to go into a rant here, but just observing the basic fact that capitalism cannot create certain resources we value - such as living space - which comprise a certain percentage (lets say a third) of things we value. This leads to these goods with inflexible supplies inflating in dollar value (see housing crisis).

If housing price increase outpaces wage growth (which it does), with GDP growth being concentrated in very few pockets, this leads to decreasing living standards for most of the population, at least in this aspect.
Perhaps they will create virtual people and give the a bunch of new cryptocurrency.

The Garmin Vo2 max estimate is supposed to be pretty accurate too, but mines is wildly off.

It also has race pace estimates for 5k, 10k, half mile etc and those are wildly off too. I think it bases these off Vo2 max, so its unsurprising. It thinks I can do a 42min 10k, that is just never happening.
There are a whole bunch of sources of vegetable protein, and carbs/sugar for that matter. It’s actually quite easy to survive on just vegetables.

If you don’t eat meat then your sugar and carbs probably are processed from a vegetable in the first place.
You can monitor your glucose level without blood samples??
Yes and no, docs are taught that LDL and HDL are not the targets themselves, it's possible to move those numbers without actually improving outcomes at all (especially improving HDL doesn't seem to really do anything).

Docs are _basically_ taught to just put everyone on Statins. On as high a dose as people will tolerate. There's fairly good evidence that statins work, the problem is more than people don't like taking them.
I see that devices like this do not require blood samples. Are they accurate?
I have an Apple Watch 7 and a Garmin Forerunner 265. The Garmin gives me a much higher VO2Max. I have no idea which is right but one factor seems to be the max heart rate, which the Garmin calculates but in Apple Watch seems to be fixed based on age unless you set it manually. Reluctant to set it manually as it will change over time and would neeed re-calculating so the Garmin approach seems better to me.

I'm reminded of a conversation I had with someone who decades ago had worked on a spell checker for Norwegian, they had sent in a request to the "language council" requesting them to consider certain changes to the official spelling norms in order to make it all more uniform (and thus easier to write spell checkers for). Of course, software developers know better than their users. High modernism indeed, could be an example out of James Scott's book.
One thing I can’t quite figure is if you are not doing a specific exercise to the T is whether your VO2 remains accurate.

Example: I do interval running, which the Watch just records as a run. If I am not running for part of it (i.e. a 1-minute rest interval), is the Watch actually capturing the right info to calculate my VO2?
It is called ChromeOS, and its spread is helped by everyone that keeps pushing Electron all of the place.

Ok. Wasn't intending to address any of the other issues you raised, but I can because on further reflection there are many issues with your points:

(1) This generally isn't true for most companies. You must be in healthcare? Otherwise there are a bunch of state-level data protection laws which to my knowledge do not prevent access to PII by persons not within the US.

(2) Partially covered with my first comment about South America. I'll also note that asynchronous work seems to be more productive for a lot of people, and practically everyone in the corporate world complains about too many meetings – so maybe making it harder to constantly have meetings is a feature, not a bug (even if your org isn't great at async).

(3) Shared context might be helpful, but the design part is nonsense. Obviously non-Americans can design for the US market. Suggesting otherwise is just so ludicrous I don't know where to start.

(4) This is just a skill issue. You can definitely filter for quality in off-shore roles just as well as you can for on-shore roles. If you're bad at it, that's on you, not intrinsic to the off-shore labor or their circumstances.

(5) Saving money isn't the only reason to off-shore roles. Believe it or not there are actually more talented people you have access to if you consider all 8 billion of the world's population rather than only looking at 4% of it. Or for example with your first point where off-shoring can actually be a huge boon because diff timezones means all of your employees can work a 9-5 without needing people to work graveyard shifts. Also there are solutions like Deel which are less expensive than your average contracting middleman, but still allow you to hire people globally without needing to deal (pun intended by them I guess) with all the local tax etc issues. So even if money is your only concern, there is plenty of room left in the market for labor arbitrage.

> I think the exaust has possitive pressure when the engine is running which would prevent water from entering.

Imagine a (say) 5cm diameter exhaust pipe, at a 45 degree angle - with exhaust gasses blowing out through the top 3cm, while water runs in through the bottom 2cm. At some point, the cold water starts hitting thicker and hotter pieces of metal. As you put it, "quite bad for the engine".

But from the article, about what happens when the Bayesian heels over too far: "water will start to enter the vessel (usually through engine room or accommodation ventilation ducts)… once this starts the vessels is in serious trouble".
It's more like how long it was since they were written - I couldn't find any other pattern (I started reading through old floppies a long time ago). They simply seemed to fade with age.

The Q hypothesis has issues. For such an important document or source, nothing is known about it. Its existence is not mentioned or hinted at in external sources. No trace of it has been found.

In addition, the synoptic puzzle can be laid in a self-consistent and "path-of-least-resistance way" by looking at e.g. author motives: Matthew writing for the Jewish community in Jerusalem; Mark describing Peter's preaching in Rome; Luke writing as a Greek doctor for a gentile audience (and John writing much later, clarifying and responding to the first heresies that had popped up).

So the Q hypothesis, aside from being a theoretical construction based on internal evidence, is not necessary either.

See e.g. "Case Against Q: Studies in Markan Priority and the Synoptic Problem" by Goodacre.
Erlang is not strongly typed and cross compiling apps with native dependencies is not straightforward. Running it on WASM is not common (is it possible?). It does not have a comprehensive standard library like Go.

It is compiled though.
I think melatonin is better used as a way to shift the circadian rhythm because you need a way lower dose (0.5 to 0.3mg) and it doesn't make one drowsy
Depends on your priors
Experience of those race predictions varies! Mine are over-optimistic but not by that much, a friend is the other way round and Garmin continued to predict a slower time even when he actually recorded races in faster times.
> China will be at war, and war is terrible for the economy

If you're not looking only at poor metrics like the GDP or balance of trade, is it the case when it's not happening on your soil? As long as the natural resources are available, it seems like a good way to recenter the economy on what is actually important for survival.
> Also: What did people screw up with HTML in your opinion?

The problem with PDFs is that you need to create multiple layouts to make them look good in print and on a variety of commonly used screen sizes; all those layouts is extra work. HTML, by its very nature, doesn't have this problem, and yet somehow today we still have to design multiple layouts to support print and common screen sizes. And in practice, we usually don't - instead, we design one layout optimized for mobile phones, and ignore how bad lit looks on desktop or in print. "Responsive web design" turned into forcing HTML to behave like a PDF, except using "iPhone" instead of "A4" as the size.
Not surprising since iirc you wash away parts of the normal starch and then add sugar as a binder.
> A nice thing about miles is that people roughly drive 60 miles per hour over long distances, meaning a distance in miles roughly corresponds to how many minutes it will take to drive there.

I never thought of this fun fact. Then again 60 mph = ~100 kmph, when then saying 100 km corresponds roughly to one hour makes it just as easy.
They even put acids in your food! ACID! The stuff that melts steel beams and makes IE6 crash. Think about that.
It's so nice that they make this data available in such a fashion.

That said, it would be amazing to have (anonymized) data about raw ratings per person, and be able to build your own personal recommenders based on that... One can dream!
All of it should be well below the waterline, it's what keeps the ship upright against the heeling torque from the sails. The whole ship displaced "only" about 540 tonnes (including the ballast), which I think is fairly light for a vessel of that size. As a comparison the navy vessels I used to sail on came in at 6000 tonnes for 150 metres, so 540 for 54 metres is quite a bit lighter.
The amount of businesses whose target audience is “most users” is very small. You might get lucky and be a Microsoft or Apple but almost every other business has a very specific type of customer that they want.

The other thing is that the most popular features aren’t necessarily the most profitable ones.

Dropbox doesn’t make money on the millions of people with free accounts, and they are selling commodity storage for their paid users at thin margins. But a product that can solve business pain in a unique way can command better margins, which is why they are getting into other businesses like document signing rather than just sticking to selling bulk cloud storage.
completely unrelated, but i wonder if the fact that smoking/nicotine went out of fashion caused more people to be overweight
What to avoid is having multiple things working against you. An airplane doesn't crash because of a single reason. I've seen someone get hit in the middle of a street because of a lack of visibility (bushes), a green light and she was carrying multiple bags. She was probably feeling safe because of the green light but the driver didn't respect the red light. Luckily the car had a shield so it was violent but not deadly.

Even if it was the driver's fault, I've seen multiple other accidents on this road. It's bad design to put a red light and bushes outside of an intersection. It's better to make the road thin (I'm not an expert though) with more crosswalks and make them bumpy as well. Some cities are full of aggressive citizens.
You might be paying more attention than you think.

When I wrote my PhD thesis, I made some effort to follow good typography practices (I thought that since I had devoted so many hours to the work, it would make sense to devote some time to make it look as good as possible... and I guess it was also a way of procrastinating from writing content) :)

Various people who "don't pay attention" told me that it caught their attention for being really nice visually, even if they couldn't pinpoint the concrete differences that led to that.
Oh wow I get it now - this is the proto-yo-yo. When I was a teenager a toy called the "yoho diabolo" had its moment in the sun as the must-have of the day. Of course, diabolos are much older than that - "yoho" was presumably a brand that figured out how to sell them to first decade era teenagers. I wonder if these string tops come back into fashion like that periodically.
Nice. It would be great if you include a filter by apps such as Netflix, Prime and Max
> And in this case, whether a driver ends up with a score above or below their peers will just reflect which customers they were fortunate or unfortunate enough to have.

Yes. But as a customer I also have no idea what these scores are for. I'm assuming that if someone gets a terrible rating their management will speak to them. But whether they have 2.5 or 4.99 won't matter. I mean how can it matter, when everyone grades them according to their own scale? Someone might have 1 as being pass and 2 being good and 3 being outstanding and 4 or 5 being basically impossible to achieve. Someone else might have 4 being disaster and 5 being pass. You can't know. So it's always about luck. I'm at least doing my best to use the only sensible grading which is "3 meets expectations". If someone else uses 5 as pass and 4 as fail it's really a problem that Bolt and Uber created for themselves.
According to whom? How do those microservices get anything done if they just live in their own isolated world where they can't depend on (call out to) any other microservice?
> Another kind of misconception: data transfer is a _really_ overlooked issue. […] If you want to write 20mb of data to a buffer, that's not just a memcpy, all that data has to go over the PCIe buss to the GPU […], and that's going to be expensive (in real time contexts). Similarly if you want to read a whole large buffer of results back from the GPU, that's going to take some time.

Does having a unified memory, like Apple’s M-series chips, help with that?
as someone who is tinkering in that area, i say really nice job!

Show HN: I Made a Oasis AI Minecraft Website, the First AI-Generated Minecraft
Hey HN,

Recently, I discovered the first AI-driven video interactive game, where all the visuals and interactive content are generated in real-time by AI based on the user's actions. To put it simply, it's like an AI version of Minecraft.

I tried it out, and it is generally playable. However, the graphics are a bit blurry, and sometimes there are minor lags. Overall, there are still some flaws at this stage.

But I feel this is a truly groundbreaking innovation because all the game content is generated by AI in real-time. Therefore, theoretically, each player's gaming experience is unique, and it’s possible to generate an infinitely large world.

Although the overall experience isn't yet on par with mainstream games, I think this is a fascinating attempt. In the near future, the gaming industry could be completely revolutionized. Science fiction becoming reality—this might just be the future of 'Minecraft.'

I’ve created a website where you can experience the game online and also find some related information about it. I hope this will be helpful to you.

would love your feedback pls.

Wind can spread fire in surprising ways. Here in Norway a town experienced a fire getting out of control[1]. It was in the middle of winter and had been freezing outside for a long time, and was around -10C (13F) when the fire started[2].

Thanks to the wind, the fire managed to jump a distance of 130 meters (426 feet) across an ice rink and set fire to the watering truck.

Why would it? Is it not just more difficult to reach the same dosage when consumed in the form of fruits/vegetables?
They do lots of journeys. They'll be graded by people with every idea about what a 3 or a 4 means. The average they eventually end up at is some combination of the average of people's idea of how a 1-5 scale works, combined with their actual service level. Which is why it's a terrible choice of rating.

To join the voice to the other non-US folks, in the Southern Europe no one cares, we just cross the road regardless the colour.

Usually it is only respected in high traffic roads, unless one wants to play frogger in real life.

And while there are technically fines, like 10 €, in practice the police has more usefull things to worry about and unless you get an officer having a bad day and someone has to pay for it, they won't care.
