I highly recommend Mick West's work on reconstructing the situations in each of the released videos so far: https://www.youtube.com/@MickWest

His reconstructions make it clear that these phenomena result from properties of the optical system used in the sensors as well as diffusion of infrared light through miles of atmosphere.
The thing is, children have magical thinking in their playing, a blanket fort for example is full of possibilites and it feels like anything could happen — as we grow older we learn more and more that the number of things happening is limited.

That does not mean adults can have similar amazement, it just goes elsewhere.
But who is talking about big tech? Aren't we talking about just most companies here? I have had some interviews and every single one of them had broken hiring processes, silly reviewers, who get stuck up at things like you not using their favorite code autoformatter, for code that is 1 screen long, or did the ghost job thing, where they apparently did not actually want to hire anyone.

GitLab is better in some ways, worse in others. One thing GitLab is much better at is supporting a rebase strategies, making for a much nicer history. GitHub still doesn't know how to show the difference between the original version and a force-pushed one when reviewing, but that just works on GitLab.

Another good thing about GitLab is that all the CI code is right there, not in a bunch of separate repos. You can reproduce it locally pretty easily.

The main thing GitLab is worse at is refreshing the UI when the underlying state changes, without having to refresh. They're getting better at it, but to be fair GitHub also has plenty of issues with this.

I suspect that at age 8, merely draping a blanket over a coffee table (or a riding a magic dragon named Puff) is no longer as convincing a fantasy of Camelot as it was at age 3. Such fancies don't necessarily die off at some sell-by age; they evolve.

Video games and RPGs inherit that mantle for most (boys esp). Many turn to reading and writing fiction and watching films. Book reading is alive and well, the vast majority of which sustain what the OP suggests has been lost: the love of fiction, fantasy, and romance.

No, fantasy does not end with childhood. It transmogrifies to serve newfound passions that, hopefully, can still resonate forever with your meaning of life.

Yes in a vague sense. And No in a strong practical sense.

Lensing works in reverse except for time delays which make the idea much more complex. The object's past is projected to us now, but our past would be projected to somewhere that the far object no longer occupies. Double lensing makes this even less reversible.

When the light we are now seeing was emitted, the lensing wasn't in place. In fact, the galaxies doing the lensing hadn't even evolved to the state that we see them in.

So if we sent a response to what we see now, it wouldn't make it back to the lensed objects.

That's just for single lensing. Double lenses are a massive coincidence of events at 4 points in time and space (emission, first deflection, second deflection and observation). That means that light going the other way wouldn't have the two intermediate points in the right place at the right times so it all breaks down for us and the object we see. There are some points that would be double lensed in the reverse direction but the locations and times for the source and observer have only very vague correlation to our location and the location of the object we see.

One telling thing about UFO sightings is the government's change in attitude compared to the last half of the last century.

It used to be that the government was trying to discourage reports. They would explain away everything that did get reported--usually reasonably because most sighting were just ordinary things that were misidentified but there were some that they never publicly had good explanations for.

They encouraged treating people who said they saw UFOs as kooks, and were successful enough that when pilots saw something they could not explain they would usually not report it because that could affect their career.

Lately that has flipped. Now they want reports.

The explanation that best fits the facts is that in the past what the people who weren't just misidentifying some normal thing were seeing were secret government projects that had accidentally been flown where they should not have been.

The government didn't want people to talk about those sightings because if too many people did talk about them it might be possible to piece together details about the program.

Now there are some sightings that don't fit with misidentification of normal things and that the government can't match up with any of their secret projects and they want to know what the heck is going on. They almost certainly don't think it could be extraterrestrials--foreign spies is what they are probably worried about.

They need more data, and so now they want people who see things to report it.
To join the larger public Yggdrasil network, you need to peer with at least one publicly reachable node. Most likely that machine has a static IPv4 address. There are a number of such nodes operated by volunteers, and they enable the magic that allows any device to join the network and immediately start receiving inbound traffic from the rest of the network. By opening an outbound connection to the public node, a channel is created for traffic to flow back to the non public node.

They are contradictory in the sense that copyright law limits the scope of legal "speech". But that does not imply a nonsensical position. You may quote copyrighted works for legitimate purposes of criticism or fair use. You may not "express" a complete reproduction of a substantial amount of material in a way that deprives the original person of profits.

Copyright law is not intended to be abused as it is on YouTube and other social media, where people get videos taken down because they had an image from within a game. That's just stupid copyright trolling and would not stand up in court.
I think it is a good direction imho. Once being familiar with SQL I learned Prolog a little and similarities struck me. I wasn't the first one sure, and there are others who summarized it better than me [1] (2010-2012):

Each can do the other, to a limited extent, but it becomes increasingly difficult with even small increases in complexity. For instance, you can do inferencing in SQL, but it is almost entirely manual in nature and not at all like the automatic forward-inferencing of Prolog. And yes, you can store data(facts) in Prolog, but it is not at all designed for the "storage, retrieval, projection and reduction of Trillions of rows with thousands of simultaneous users" that SQL is.

I even wanted to implement something like Logica at the moment, primarily trying to build a bridge through a virtual table in SQLite that would allow storing rules as mostly Prolog statements and having adapters to SQL storage when inference needs facts.

In my opinion, this article is misleading at best. "...scans of ancient galaxies gathered by the JWST seem to contradict the commonly accepted predictions of the most widely accepted Cold Dark Matter theory, Lambda-CDM." --> LCDM doesn't predict what galaxies should look like, it simply predicts how much mass is in collapsed structures and that dark matter haloes grow hierarchically. In contrast, with JWST we see light and need to infer what the underlying properties of the system are. It was shown very early on that the theoretical upper limit (i.e. taking all of the gas that is available in collapsed structures and turning it into stars) predicts a luminosity function (i.e. number of galaxies per unit luminosity) that is orders of above what JWST has observed (e.g. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023MNRAS.521..497M/abstra...). This means that there is plenty of space within the context of LCDM to have bright and seemingly large and massive galaxies early on. Based on current JWST data at these early epochs, there are really no convincing arguments for or against LCDM because it's highly sensitive to the galaxy formation model that's adopted.
(How) do you have no control over the environment variables you call CMake with?
Chaos testing, nothing to see here.
MOND doesn't cover the existence of CBM, distribution of galaxies, non-metallic abundance - things all covered by LCDM.

What MOND has going for it is that galactic rotation curves are readily consumed by popsci readers and the story of the "little guy" vs the scientific establishment is an easily available frame story popsci authors can sell clicks for.

The proportion of lay people who think MOND could be true greatly outnumbers the proportion of MOND researchers and doesn't reflect the veracity of the theory.

Well, since I live in germany, only very rare guard jobs involve guns. Like money transports, weapon manufacturing and guarding military areas.

The company I worked for did guard sort of higher value targets, like state museums containing art, but fortunately with no weapons required.

So in general, yes, it is a good job on the way up - if you manage to avoid the energy of the people who settled as guards with the purpose of doing as little as possible for the rest of their lifes. That was actually the stressful part for me, despite interactions with coworkers happened rarely.

Ouch, I bet that hurt! I think hands have some of the highest concentrations of nerve endings. The feet were pretty rough, and the callous constricted the blister and limited the expansion of the skin, so lancing the blister was necessary to prevent injury from the blister popping and the blister skin not covering the wound properly.

I stepped on flaming plastic barefoot and fortunately was able to almost immediately immerse the foot in water, which caused the plastic to fuse to my foot for a few hours until the ice water was able to reduce the swelling. Then my foot shrank away from the mostly rigid plastic mass. It was a pretty horrible experience all around considering the small surface area of the burn, and part of the reason why I don’t like walking around barefoot generally, if I had to guess, as it happened when I was around 5 years old. My folks would later be volunteer firefighters and first responders, and I learned a lot of field first aid skills by proxy and through my own shenanigans. I’m glad I’ve never needed to be hospitalized for serious injury, though apparently not for lack of trying.
For the record, I don't use Logica myself so I'm not familiar with every design decision or feature -- I'm not a Python programmer. I'm speaking about Datalog in general.

> making variables implicit at the call site

What example are you looking at? The NewsData example for instance seems pretty understandable to me. It seems like for any given predicate you can either take the implicit name of the column or you can map it onto a different name e.g. `date: date_num` for the underlying column on gdelt-bq.gdeltv2.gkg.

Really it just seems like a way to make the grammar less complicated; the `name: foo` syntax is their way of expressing 'AS' clauses and `name:` is just a shorthand for `name: name`

> In light of that quote it's also weird that they mention that they are able to run the SQL they compiled to "in interactive time" on a rather large dataset, which they supposedly already could with SQL.

The query in question is run on BigQuery (which IIRC was the original and only target database for Logica), and in that setup you might do a query over 4TB of data but get a response in milliseconds due to partitioning, column compression, parallel aggregation, etc. This is actually really common for many queries. So, in that kind of setup the translation layer needs to be fast so it doesn't spoil the benefit for the end user. I think the statement makes complete sense, tbh. (This also probably explains why they wrote it in Python, so you could use it in Jupyter notebooks hooked up to BigQuery.)
"The current scientific consensus is that the placebo effect is a real healing effect operating through belief and suggestion."

I disagree, based on my understanding of the placebo affect: The placebo effect causes people to genuinely feel better - no more or less than that. The placebo effect does NOT indicate a "real healing effect" per se - just that it makes people feel better, and clearly only in situations where such a thing is possible. Meaning that nobody believes in a placebo effect for a broken arm. Only for things where people could plausibly think something HAS gotten better. Like a cold, or mild pain, etc.

Show HN: A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff
Hey HN,

I'm a software engineer and I make websites often. 1 website every 4 days.

I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks and the main thing is SEO...

So I bought ShipFast from Marc and upgraded it with SEO info for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches.

I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Reselling it updated for 4x cheaper so everyone can benefit from it lol.
