To be fair, it’s because Chrome handling of a soft reload is different from Firefox or Safari, and does not lead to revalidating (let alone refetching) assets files. See https://blog.chromium.org/2017/01/reload-reloaded-faster-and...

Quoting https://engineering.fb.com/2017/01/26/web/this-browser-tweak...:

> We began to discuss changing the behavior of the reload button with the Chrome team. […] we proposed a compromise where resources with a long max-age would never get revalidated, but that for resources with a shorter max-age the old behavior would apply. The Chrome team thought about this and decided to apply the change for all cached resources, not just the long-lived ones.

> Firefox was quick in implementing the cache-control: immutable change and rolled it out just around when Chrome was fully launching their final fixes to reload.

> Chrome and Firefox’s measures have effectively eliminated revalidation requests to us from modern version of those browsers.
In Seattle at least they do posters. Mostly in Cap Hill (the gay area). The super small stuff is generally social only but anything with an actual venue will pop up. 19hz is also a good resource, it's searchable and city specific.
Elements of the Ukranian government have apparently sort of quietly hinted that if they don't receive sufficient conventional military aid then they'll be forced to develop nuclear weapons as a last resort. Ukraine has officially denied this, but it's impossible to know how they'll react as Russia conquers more and more territory. Ukrainian leaders are quite aware that the only meaningful guarantees of continued sovereignty would be NATO membership or having their own nukes. Otherwise even if the current war is settled with some sort of truce, Russia could just rearm and attack again in a few years.

North Korea May End Up Sending Putin 100,000 Troops for His War
What you're saying is correct, but I can't think of many scenarios where it's relevant to human actions in the present, with the exception of freight ships' sulfur emissions. [1]

For the most part, burning fossil fuels is leading to both air pollution and GHG emissions. Sometimes you can in theory choose an option that leads to less global warming than the status quo but is worse for human health (e.g. burning biomass for energy instead of natural gas, or using diesel instead of gasoline engines), but usually there's an another option where you can reduce both undesirable outcomes (wind, solar, hydro or nuclear energy, electric vehicles, etc.)

Even from an economic standpoint I can't think of too many scenarios where clean energy isn't the better option long-term. An EV will have a higher up-front cost but definitely will be cheaper than a diesel vehicle across it's lifetime, and most areas I imagine solar or wind would be cheaper than biomass. Freight ships are the only thing in 2024 where I think we don't have an option that's better in both regards and cheaper -- there we do have to choose between more global warming or more particulate matter harmful for human health. But I think that's the exception more than the rule for human activities.

I think it reduces the risk of a nuclear war. The thing to understand about Russia is that all their "red lines" are empty talk, and what they really respect is force. Ukraine appeared weak to Putin, and that's why he invaded. Only way to peacefully coexist with Russia is by either becoming their puppet, or having enough strength to make an invasion seem obviously bad idea.

IMO the best way to prevent a nuclear war with Russia would be supplying all its neighbours with big pile of nuclear weapons. Then they would have nowhere to invade without risking their own destruction.
Delighted to see this here — the Kurilpa Bridge is less than 50 meters from my front door and is something to behold each time I get the chance to use it.
Cool! I do the same thing with books like Asimov’s Earth and Space (science) or Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars (fictional history). What other books can you recommend?
> Duplicate MACs are probably not even a 0.0001% of all MACs.

I love it when people just make up numbers with zero backing.

You know MACs only HAVE to be unique on the same L2 segment right?

So with every device that has MAC addresses (including every Bluetooth or WiFi device), ESP32s, home assistant type stuff, all which have usually 2 or more MACs, do you really think it makes sense for a manufacturer to use a MAC once and never again?

No. It’s called manufacturing and shipping logistics. It’s far easier than what you suggest.

As far as your made up stat here, I should play the lottery because it’s happened at least two times over the course of a 30 year career.

In 2006, I was part of a team building up a data center, and each server needed 4 NICs for iscsi speed and redundancy.

Two cases out of 10, something like 40 or 50 NICs were identical to each other. The only reason we noticed is because this job required meticulous asset tracking. My guess is because we had ordered so many NICs, the supplier had needed to hunt a little to fill the order.

The second time was when I ordered a lot of ProBooks off eBay for hackintoshing back around 2012. Again, at least two of them had the same physical MAC burned into the motherboard. And I’m guessing it’s because about half of them came from Florida and the other half came from Vancouver.

I’m just telling you, MAC addresses aren’t as unique as you are trying to suggest because they don’t need to be.
Maybe I'm wrong, but with the river north of the Ukrainian border, it seemed like they wanted that as new easier to maintain defensive line.

The defenses in the north were affected by incompetence or corruption, so the push north came across a little like shoring up their positions to need fewer men in the long run.
It’s you who’s simply wrong.

You have to look before the ice period, that’s what OP refers to as long term.

Hard to speak "objectively" as a consumer who has their own regional biases and knows none of the sausage underneath.

Maybe you're in a rural area and Netflix scaled gracefully. Maybe you're deep in SF and Netflix simply outspent to give minimal disruption to a population hub. These could both be true but don't speak to what performs better overall.
I think this was mentioned in a Paul Graham essay from many years ago, but half the battle in tackling a new area of study is finding out what the best books (or papers) are. There aren’t that many, and yet it’s hard to know what they are if you aren’t already well-versed in the field.
Unfortunately a gravity assist maneuver is almost "incompatible" with an ion thruster.

If you approach e.g. Jupiter you gain speed (it's pulling you in), which you then lose as you get away from it (as it's still pulling you in, meh). Gravity assists work because you use your chemical rocket right when you are closest and speed away, "robbing" Jupiter of the chance to claim the energy it lent you on approach.

Ion thrusters have very low thrust, so you would accelerate veeeeery slowly away from Jupiter's gravity well - and in this time it will keep affecting you and slowing you down, and the whole thing would be barely worth doing.

You could bolt on a very simple solid rocket booster just for the gravity assist, of course, but its ISP will be lower and you'll have to carry its mass until you can expend it.
I think there’s often a disconnect between what lay-people hear when someone says “I built an app using AI” and the reality.

What it seems like a lot people assume the process is that you give the AI a relatively high level prompt that’s a description of features, and you get a back a fully functioning app that does everything you outlined.

In my experience (and I think what you are describing here), is that the initial feature-based prompt will often give you (some what impressively) a basic functioning app. But as you start iterating on that app, the high level feature-based prompts start not working very well pretty quickly. It then becomes more an exercise in programming by proxy — where you basically tell the AI what code to write/what changes are needed at a technical level in smaller chunks, and it saves you a lot of time by actually writing the proper syntax. The thing you still have know how to program to be able to accomplish this — (arguably, you have to be a fairly decent programmer who can already reasonably break down complicated tasks into small understandable chunks).

Furthermore, if you want to AI write good code with a solid architecture you pretty much have to tell it what to do from a technical level from the start — for example, here I imagine the AI didn’t come up with structuring things to work as the AST level on its own — you knew that would give you a solid architecture to build on, so you told it to do that.

As someone whose already a half decent programmer, I’ve found this process to be a pretty significant boon to my productivity, on the other hand beyond the basic POC app, I have a hard time seeing it living up the marketing hype of “Anyone can build an app using AI!” that’s being constantly spewed.
Two words — nuclear energy.

Show HN: Terminal3d – View 3D Models in Your Terminal, Built with Rust
This brings to mind a recent thought I had - our senses and intuition continue to be abstracted and delegated. It is especially humiliating when this delegation, which we must obey, is derived from data which we are unable to comprehend or perceive.

The medium is the message
That’s disappointing but where are the consequences for United Healthcare and Change Healthcare? That leak exposed the most private and intimate information for 100 million Americans, most of whom never had heard of Change Healthcare before the breach. And yet they get nothing in compensation except a weak offer of some credit monitoring. Change, United, and all companies who used them as a subcontractor should be paying thousands to each affected individual. CEOs should be in jail. Zero politicians care and they’re just letting it all disappear into history quietly. So why should anyone care about something mundane like Hot Topic? Nothing will happen and nothing will change until Americans start protesting over this and recalling elected officials for their inaction.

>> Instead of blaming them, realise that they are taking climate change seriously and we are not.

China's annual CO2 emmissions have been exponentially increasing for the last 50 years and are currently nearly three times as high as the US's and continuing to exponentially increase. There has been zero decrease in emissions over the last 50 years, only increase.

The US's annual CO2 emissions have been linearly decreasing every year for the last 20 years and is now a third of China's.

How is your conclusion to this that China is taking it seriously and the US isn't?

Could Voyager have reduced velocity, glanced off Neptune, waited for the return path on a narrow elliptical orbit, and then boosted to effectively make the 90° turn to Pluto at that time? Was that impossible given its Neptune approach trajectory, or would glancing off and waiting have been more fuel?

And, why didn't this vortical model that includes the forward velocity of the sun make a difference for Voyager's orbital trajectory and current position relative to earth? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42159195 :

English is the international lingua franca.

Not being able to speak English means you have limited ability to speak to people from around the world. That's worth 10 words in a report.
You could have designed state of the art positional encoding
The alignment isn't what matters for overtaking Voyager. Jupiter alone is enough, and New Horizons nearly did. Jupiter accounts for the vast majority of any gravity-assist plan. Saturn has 30% the mass and 2/3 of the orbital velocity, so it could only add 20% more over what you get from Jupiter alone, and the ice giants are smaller and slower yet.
I was of the same opinion till last year actually still am as I think the world has passed the point of no return when it comes to global warming.

But the tech is there just not the political will or finances as it hurts economies and people's chances of winning elections.

China is likely to hit it's peak oil because of ev's and peak coal in the next 2-3 years because of renewables and batteries. Although China is mostly going electric for economic and energy security reasons it will be interesting to see what happens when it is no longer using carbon based energy for it's growth.
> materials and the labor come from. We don't just have 5% of GDP worth of those laying around

You have to make up your mind, if you are concerned about real resources or fictional ones.

If we want to optimise for real resources we would round up all the people who’s job is to destroy real resources, like casino pit bosses and the managers of Prada and fast fashion that destroy clothing to create artificial scarcity.

And we would kick them out in the rain to do tree planting.

Climate change threatens a lot more than 5% of real reseouces - in fact what happens when the Middle East and American Midwest runs out of underground water reserves?
NASA loves to downplay expectations in case something goes wrong, but people really underappreciate just how overengineered these things are, which makes sense when a bad mission can be political suicide for their future funding.
How does that explain the change in long term weather when the city is already heavily developed.
One other benefit would be for the confirmation images that drivers take of a delivery. Rather than schlepping out a phone, they just tap their glasses as they put a package down. Much less hassle and I think would shave time.
Interestingly, it took until after the invention of SONAR for the theory that bats navigate by echolocation to be accepted. The theory that bats use hearing for spatial awareness was first proposed in the late 18th century, with experimental evidence, but was rejected by the scientific establishment for more than a century. People didn't know marine mammals used echolocation until the 1950s.
Garak is a compelling literary figure and is very popular among Trekkies, for good reason, you're understanding the character wrong for example not even Kira Nerys would say only what you reductively said about him.
> I think unless your code is guaranteed to never interact with any untrusted input it is nowadays an increasingly unacceptable compromise to just accept that your program might have serious flaws which can lead to remote code execution or worse.

I think that's too strong a statement, because it applies to in-development programs. I agree with you if you're talking about released programs, but there can be benefit in leaving open the possibility of detectable flaws, serious or otherwise, while your code is still in development.

It's analogous to only compiling and running in debug mode throughout your development, and then switching to release mode for the final binary. The binary is suboptimal throughout your development process; it's too slow. But as long as the `--release` flag doesn't require any code changes, it's still a better idea than developing entirely in release mode.

Similarly, the binary could be suboptimal from a correctness standpoint, as long as removing the `--devel` flag only works when the compiler is fully happy. `--devel` could turn some borrow checking failures into warnings and still give you a runnable binary. Or it could allow leaving types underspecified in interfaces, and do an unsound type inference. Best case, it could even do runtime checks and/or coercions to establish the assumptions that the callee was compiled with.

Whether it would be worth the complexity is an open question, but it seems reasonably clear that Rust has a problem with brittleness to development-time change.
So almost every person on here is not a hacker since I’ve met very few people here who are knowledgeable about EE, computer architecture, compiler technology, or heck even how browsers work. Of course there are some, but HN is mostly about slapping together technology to sell your startup.
I should have clarified. All the MACs in one case were identical to the MACs in a second case

And both labels and burned in
that's fine for a bank now, because they more or less control have full control over the thing you're trusting them with (your money).

password managers are keys to all sorts of third party systems, in a sense they're more like safe deposit boxes, and you don't hear of many banks offering them these days, and they cap their liability quite a bit. Also, a financial transaction is relatively easy to rewind by the bank, everything else your passwords give access to, not so much.

So sure, you might not be locked out of your passwords, but you run a much higher risk of someone else also gaining access to them.
Global warming will cause suffering, but extreme poverty was worse for billions than any projections from 2.0C above baseline. The global population grow by 3 billion people since 1988 yet extreme poverty is way down.

What nobody talks about is there’s not enough oil and natural gas left to miss 2C by much. At current consumption rates we run out of both in ~50-60 years. Coal isn’t competitive with renewables and as soon as we stop pumping hydrocarbons the associated influx of Methane also stops. So we’re almost guaranteed to miss 2.5C of global warming, and stopping at 2C is likely.

So congratulations humanity, all that money spent on R&D instead of directly cutting emissions without any solid alternatives actually worked!
It seems very likely that it's possible to force people into lucid dreaming. However, it seems that any external methods rely on external cues during REM sleep and I'd worry that in doing so you might be subtly reducing quality of REM sleep.

That's not true [1]:

> There are twenty-five of these distinct warming-cooling oscillations (Dansgaard 1984) which are now commonly referred to as Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles, or D-O cycles. One of the most surprising findings was that the shifts from cold stadials to the warm interstadial intervals occurred in a matter of decades, with air temperatures over Greenland rapidly warming 8 to 15°C (Huber et al. 2006). Furthermore, the cooling occurred much more gradually, giving these events a saw-tooth shape in climate records from most of the Northern Hemisphere (Figure 1).

The last time I brought this up, someone said (paraphrased) "that's only over Greenland". Yeah, the place they did measurements. Do you really think a change in air temperature of 8-15C over decades is repeatedly localized in just one place?

> I know there are people who vote for legislators/laws that limit consumption, who don’t make any effort to limit consumption themselves, but I don’t think there’s that many. People generally don’t want laws that change the way they are living, they want laws that make other people live the way they are living.

There is nothing wrong with this behavior. I will vote today for everyone to curb consumption, but I see no reason to make the sacrifice alone.

I know this is a few days at this point but Bolero has been in active development. All development work was done on the now deleted streamrendering and v0.24 branches. Version 0.24 was just published today: https://github.com/fsbolero/Bolero/releases
Why have they still not released a paper aside from a press release? I have to admit I still don't know how auspicious it is that running google hardware for three days apiece was able to find half-page long solutions, given that the promise has always been to solve the Riemann hypothesis with the click of a button. But of course I do recognize that it's a big achievement relative to previous work in automatic theorem proving.
It’s baffling to see all the ignorant answers to this thread, OP. My experience has been similar to yours, and I’ve been pushing complex software to production for the past 20 years.

Feels like a bunch o flat earth arguments; they’d rather ignore evidence (or even try out by themselves) to keep the illusion that you need to write it all yourself for it to be “high quality”.
Since this is the most important and urgent topic humanity should be working on: why isn’t this the case? Idiocracy is here. Don’t look up.

Pretty substantial disagree with the second half of 4. and 5.

>If the component is big, then you introduce more complexity[...] If a particular function doesn't fit anywhere, create a new module (or class or component)

This smells like the agile/uncle Bob "every function should be four lines" school of thought which is really bad.

Paraphrasing Ousterhout's book, it's the other way around, when components are big and contain significant implementation you're hiding information and reducing complexity, which is the purpose of good program design. When your component/object/module is just surface you've basically done no work for whoever uses your code. I see it way too often that people write components that are just thin wrappers around some library function in which case you haven't created an abstraction, you've just added a level of indirection.

If a function does not fit anywhere that's a strong indication that it shouldn't be a separate function, it's likely an implementation detail.
