That is correct.

By overwhelmed, I have meant exactly this, i.e. if the terrestrial plants had captured more solar energy, the only effect would have been the accumulation in their cells of free oxygen and of intermediate reduced chemical compounds that could not be used fast enough to synthesize useful substances like carbohydrates, for various reasons, of which the lack of enough captured carbon dioxide is a major reason.

The capture of carbon dioxide can be hampered by the free oxygen produced by capturing solar light, even if the plant cells attempt to separate the cell parts where these incompatible processes occur.

It might be possible to improve the productivity of the plants by improving their ability to capture carbon dioxide, more than by improving their ability to capture light. However I believe that such research directions are misguided. We are already able to capture light very efficiently with non-biological devices and the same is likely to become true for carbon dioxide capture and electrolytic reduction.

What is unlikely to happen any time soon is to find any way for synthesizing complex organic molecules like those needed for food as efficiently as by using living cells.

So the non-biological capture of solar energy and capture and reduction of carbon dioxide and dinitrogen should be combined with biological syntheses in cultivated organisms.
A side business I have is people who contact me because they just got scammed or need help knowing if something is a scam.

One of the things I tell them is to never upload financial documents containing personal information unless:

- The company they’re uploading it to is well known like a major bank and the domain in the address bar matches.

- They know the company they’re dealing with - which means a business address at a minimum and preferably a phone number.

- Avoid anything which claims to save money or be necessary which has a call to action to start uploading personal, documents.

This site fails all 3 tests. I was able to find the founder via the name and LinkedIn link. But at least put up a legitimate business name and something like a PO Box.

Registering a business name is $35 where this developer is located. A PO Box is around $80 a year. The name “closing.wtf” doesn’t seem to be registered with the state as a legitimate business. These are all red flags to “avoid”.

This is quite interesting. I'm not convinced of the core hypothesis, ie. "Psychological Progressives" and "Psychological Conservatives" based on desire to create vs. a desire to preserve.

People who are associated with the current "Progressive" culture are in a lot of cases involved in the project of preserving a number of traditions which have persisted for some time, e.g. access to abortion, or "centralised control of education policy". In this instance, "Conservatives" here are the ones calling for a change.

I think that Carl Schmitt's view of politics as a set of interest groups which are naturally opposed to each other is much more valuable. The middle classes are now default-progressive, whereas the working classes are now default-conservative. Why has this changed? It's changed because the interests of these groups are now served by different policies than was the case 50 years ago as a result of structural economic changes, not because the big-5 personality characteristics of the working class have changed en masse.
For me there were two key parts of this post:

1. On prediction: If you had a maximally detailed model of someone's worldview, you would be able to predict their views accurately at a given time. I'm sympathetic to this in principle, because people are often very predictable and stick within their rubric. I would add, though, that worldviews change and evolve in weird ways, and sometimes people also have views that ... don't seem entirely predetermined by their worldviews or their own history? I think there can be something situational and emergent about our views, and this isn't completely predetermined by a worldview. (Let's leave aside that we don't have enough data to accurately construct the originally suggested model — we aren't omniscient, but I for one am OK with that.)

2. On hidden premises: Sometimes you try to have a conversation with someone and find out that they have some basic differences in their theory of knowledge such that you can't get through to them at all. Like "No matter what you say is true, I will hypothesize that evil hidden forces are misleading us." (It's kind of the postmodern version of Descartes' evil demon hypothesis, if you like.) I don't find this claim too surprising in the general case, but I do think, in the specific political context of the USA at the moment, it's worth remembering that it is a nation divided not only by political but also by epistemological differences.

It's a long post but these were the parts I found the most interesting.
I just switched to iPhone 15 Pro from my old iPhone X, and I thought my old phone was big and heavy. This new one sitting on my desk looks absolutely ginormous, and I paid quite a bit of money for the device. Before iPhone X many years ago I rocked an even older iPhone 6 for multiple years.

Maybe a lot of people haven't noticed this creeping in, but with my upgrade cycle, I can tell you the footprint of these things is getting wild. Maybe I only feel this way because I set up my 15 Pro yesterday, but I don't know man...

It definitely rings a bell to me that Apple senses this sentiment when evaluating their lineup, and I understand why they'd go and make a slimmer model. No wonder then Samsung will join the competition right away.

At some point our phones were slim nice and pocketable, but somewhere in-between, they've gotten just huge boxy and crazy. I love the performance and hardware, but on a device like this I tend to wear a case which worsens the problem. This is not even a Plus or Max model, and it's just massive.

Looking back at my last device it feels to me like my X was a thin elegant slab of beauty, and I'm not even talking about my older 6 which was just super light and slim.

I bet if there are more people like me, the rumored "Slim" and "Air" models will be a hit.

That piece was well written; surprisingly coherent on a topic that's very difficult to write about. The fact you didn't understand it on first read does not mean it was "probably written by an AI".

Imo there's no chance whatsoever that it was written by an AI. You can google the author and see her consistent writing style, her qualifications, etc. There were no hallucinations or non sequiturs. The article was structured, with a clear thread through, and relevant examples. There were even quite human proofreading errors.

The LLM you gave this to correctly delineated the thrust of the article, and gave a decent summary. Maybe try reading it again after coffee? And, please, refrain from accusing writers of being LLMs without the slightest bit of proof. It's terribly rude.
My master thesis was on using machine learning techniques to synthesise quantum circuits. Since any operation on a QC can be represented as a unitary matrix my research topic was that, using ML, given a set of gates, how many and in what arrangement of them you could generate or at least approximate this matrix. Another aspect was, given a unitary matrix, could a neural network predict a number of gates needed to simulate that matrix as a QC and thereby give us a measure of complexity. It was a lot of fun to test different algorithms from genetic algorithms to neural network architectures. Back then NNs were a lot smaller and I trained them mostly on one GPU and since the matrices get exponentially bigger with the amount of qbits in the circuit it was only possible for me to investigate small circuits with less than a dozen qubits but it was still nice to see that in principle this worked quite well.
That is a fun question. Like life around hydrothermal vents, but on land. I can't search for answers easily because of course volcanic soil is really fertile anyway, so people have plenty to say about plants that grow around volcanos already, without reference to carbon dioxide.

I feel like people's perceptions around certain topics might shift quite a bit, depending on how those are implemented.

Suppose you have a fairly open border policy. Lots of folks get to contribute to the economy, there’s some cultural exchange, it’s pretty okay.

What if there isn’t a good plan in place for making people integrate with the local culture and you end up with large groups of people whose beliefs and behaviour are incompatible with those of the local population, e.g. calls for religious rule in an otherwise democratic country and increased violence? Not the blown out of proportion election claims in the US, but rather the real question of what happens to people after they cross the border? If that detail is unaddressed then people might grow to desire more closed borders, even if the issues lie elsewhere.

It’s a bit similar to the self-described “pro-life” movement, except when you look past those strongly held beliefs, things get more complex. For example, if children are born in families that can’t really afford them, will there be enough government assistance to school and feed them? What about daycare? What about neither of the people being mature enough to be good parents? That’s setting the personal freedom argument aside for just a second, it’s like they care about the births but don’t have the rest figured out, similarly to the discourse about borders.

I think you’re correct that the right solution would involve focusing on integration.

Also depends on use cases. Everyone's is different. I could probably run all the code that's on one of my servers (dozens of different applications that server hundreds of users) off a modern android phone.

It's a trick some flute-players use for the pinky of the right hand, so that it works better rolling between the C, C#/Db and D notes on the bottom. I saw it mentioned in some tutorial once and thought: "no way", and was amazed at how well it worked.

I never really asked myself how it works - something to do with skin on (dead) skin working up some friction, I don't know. I'd be curious to know if it would have worked with your YubiKey issue. But maybe it's too late to try now!
While competition can be good sometimes, I am not convinced it's a good thing when it comes to GUIs. See Linux desktop fragmentation.

In the .NET community we have the ideea that should be one tool for one job, one library, one framework etc. Now for Gui we have Avalonia, Uno and MAUI which can lead to fragmentation, noise and clutter and can reduce code reusing.

It would be nice if most people will pick one tool and stick to that.
I'm not sure I'm totally convinced by the overall political analysis either. It can be both, though, right? There's a material-interests part of politics and there can also be an epistemic culture or worldview part of political divides.
You don't need to run your text editor in a web browser, and you can do a lot of stuff, just not, like, run ML models.

I see that "Generated images are publicly visible" and I wonder if it's really compatible with the GDPR?

Also I looked at your other sites and it seems that your girlfriend generator is still generating porn, inappropriate stuff, dragons, flowers, space rockets, animals, and Spiderman. You should stick to one well-defined project instead of trying to create a hundred broken tools. I know there is an AI hype, but it feels like the spam of the early internet.
Now you can say things like, "I just xeeted" or "Did you see that xeet?"
1. This was a hypothetical situation where perfect prediction were possible, explicitly stated as an assumption. Not as fact, but as the basis of a thought experiment.

2. I'm not sure what part of the article you're referring to here, because as far as I understand it, the author is speaking about political and epistemological and every other possible difference, framed as axes in a worldview space.
> In the .NET community we have the ideea that should be one tool for one job, one library, one framework etc.

I've been a .NET developer for 20 years. This is not true.
Because one is distant ancestor of the other...? It never adopted writing system from outside. The written and spoken systems co-evolved from a clean slate.
“Young” among tv viewers is different from “young” among social media tiktok’ers. The article you linked actually says that exact thing:

> “suggesting younger voters were either less engaged, or getting their election night information from other sources such as social media and at-home streaming, which are not tracked by Nielsen.”

Young people won’t watch tv unless there’s a game or tv series on they’re interested in. Even then, a lot of them will DVR it on Hulu or something. If you want those eyeballs, you’re going to need to be creative. And tv networks can’t be as creative as instaFaceSnap, Netflix and TikTwitGram.

Yes you can.

I find it weird those analysis that forget the obvious Brazil moment.
It provided the coordination needed to execute the exodus.

The momentary Banning of twitter in Brazil, provided the impetus for a large amount of normal people there to look for a close alternative. And BlueSky is a more normie friendly.

Now a simple network analysis will show you that a lot of "tech-normie" people, but heavy user of social networks, in the US have an extended network that touches Brazil, especially for people of color and blacks. their social contact primed them for changing to Bluesky. In a sense it was the dry powder.

Now came the election, where Elon Musk took a central role and where
more than 80% of black voted against his prefered candidate. It just gave the sparkle inside an implicit network that was already playing with BlueSky.
Yes. There's an interesting question here of how basic realpolitik interacts with existential priors.

Is it a question of "who does this belief serve?" In other words, socialism served the working classes in the 20th century. It was in their interest to hold the beliefs which underpin it.

Is it simply that a intersectional coalition of the newly-empowered find postmodernism the most plausible philosophy to explain their new-found virtue?

Perhaps that's too cynical. It probably works in both directions.
> Why it is hard for Netflix. They have already figured out CDN part. So it should not be a problem even if it is 1M or 100M. because their CDN infrastructure is already handling the load ... Note: I am not saying my 100k is same scaling as their 100M. I am curious about which part is the bottleneck.

100k concurrents is a completely different game compared to 10 million or 100 million. 100k concurrents might translate to 200Gbps globally for 1080p, whereas for that same quality, you might be talking 20T for 10 million streams. 100k concurrents is also a size such that you could theoretically handle it on a small single-digit number of servers, if not for latency.

> CloudFront also has a feature request collapsing that greatly help live streaming.

I don't know how much request coalescing Netflix does in practice (or how good their implementation is). They haven't needed it historically, since for SVOD, they could rely on cache preplacement off-peak. But for live, you essentially need a pull-through cache for the sake of origin offload. If you're not careful, your origin can be quickly overwhelmed. Or your backbone if you've historically relied too heavily on your caches' effectiveness, or likewise your peering for that same reason.

200Gbps is a small enough volume that you don't really need to provision for that explicitly; 20Tbps or 200Tbps may need months if not years of lead time to land the physical hardware augments, sign additional contracts for space and power, work with partners, etc.
The key thing that you get by integrating the two tools is the ability to more easily extract a single file from a multipart archive— Instead of having to reconstruct the entire file, you can look in the part/diskette with the index to find out which other part/diskette you need to use to get at the file you want.

The sad thing is you could be referencing the left with Covid vaccines or the right with abortion.
Twitter algorithmic feeds are designed to promote engagement even if you don'like something. It is important because more engagement with various content, means more clicks, more reactions and so on.

You get something you like, you get something don't like, click bait, then begin to argue etc. It is basically like a flea market with ads floating around and retailers promoting their stuff. All for the engagement.

But BlueSky creates isolated tables - like in a cafe. Sure they have more than 5 chairs, but it does promote engagement and closer to weekly clubs.
Why Microsoft doesn't work on WinUI GUI designer?
Note that Blazor has serious deployment problems since ~2021 [0] due to MS picking some idiotic packaging format defaults.

I.e. Let's make it look like a Windows executable! And go ahead and name it .dll! I'm sure no default firewall settings will have an issue with that.

So any wide Blazor app deployment also requires overriding the default packaging and adding obfuscation.

Supposedly that's experimentally fixed in NET 8... [1]

One thing that comes to my mind and reminds me by looking into the examples is the fragility of existing implementation processes for quantum computers. Pulse optimisation, frequency allocation to minimise cross-talk between qubits, and the development of custom error correction codes tailored for specific quantum computers, circuits, or computations are unpredictable in their successes and, hence, inherently unscalable. It looks like the primary use for AI here is to optimise benchmark results for publishing rather than enable practical quantum computations.
This article is attempting just that.

In terms of healthcare industry in Hungary: one worker does the same job for 700 USD a month and another for 1100 USD, the only difference is formal education and years worked in the industry. You can perform much better (by actually caring about the patients in those 12 hours you work) but you will get paid the same amount regardless. Of course if you have 3 kids (whether they are adults or not) then you do not pay taxes (or much less than someone who does not have kids or only has 2).
I like to think of world view as Weltaunschauung. A framework that is less defined by individuals but more by big and small power brokers, media, social media, hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats, activists, entertainment industry, celebrities, influencers, activists, academics.

In most of the West, this people create the world view the society is supposed to adhere. By that they are the de facto policy makers, not the government.

When regular people, simple people refuse to vouch for that world view, then there will be tensions.

"This feels like it was written by AI" has become the single most tedious trope here on HN. I think it's time to start flagging it.

In the lion's share of cases, it wasn't written by AI. Over time that will get even harder to assess. If it was written by, and it gets upvoted, does it really matter? The upvoting is itself a sign that the content is interesting, whether it was written by a human, a dog, or an ai.
