The formation of Ni-poor kamacite proceeds by diffusion of Ni in the solid alloy at temperatures between 450 and 700 °C, and can only take place during very slow cooling, about 100 to 10,000 °C/Myr, with total cooling times of 10 Myr or less.[13] This explains why this structure cannot be reproduced in the laboratory.

Hmm, [13] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00092...

The wide range of cooling rates for IVA irons and their inverse correlation with bulk Ni concentration show that they crystallized and cooled not in a mantled core but in a large metallic body of radius 150±50 km with scarcely any silicate insulation. This body may have formed in a grazing protoplanetary impact.

Uhm,

There is a growing consensus that most iron meteorites come from bodies that accreted early – even before the parent bodies of the chondrites – and that 26Al, which has a half-life of 0.7 Myr, is the major heat source that melted them.

What? If I understand correctly, it was a large 150km metal blob full of radioactive alumin(iu)m that controlled the crystallization process over millions of years. Now that’s hardcore metal.

I found that Duolingo helped me to learn some German, I haven’t been practicing as much lately, but when I hear German, I can understand more than I can speak, and I find it fun to read in German. I bought a book that was in German and started reading it, my brain reads German the same way I remember learning how to read English; by seeing certain words in certain orders and then being able to fill in blanks. I actually found buying a German book helped a lot with learning because you get familiar with the patterns of the language and then you don’t have to try to translate the language into your mother tongue, you can just know what it’s meaning by inferring the meanings by the structure, pattern, frequency of words etc…
The hardest part of learning German for me has been getting the nouns - and knowing why some nouns are feminine or masculine.
Wow! What a process. Thanks for the explanation.

I have read King's novel, and I have watched Kubrick's movie (many, many times). I am not usually a friend of novel adaptations, but the movie simply is in another league than the book. It is much, much better. King's novel is a relatively straightforward horror story / thriller, with some elements that go a little bit over the top. Kubrick's movie is a postmodern masterpiece, with layers upon layers upon layers of meaning. After 20 years of re-watching both of them I have come to the conclusion that Shining cuts even deeper than 2001. And it also works as an entertaining (and frightening) horror movie. In my opinion, it is Kubrick's singular masterpiece. And, above all, it is still quite faithful to the original novel. Many dialogues from the book appear virtually unchanged in the screenplay.

That being said, I understand why King the author doesn't like it. Kubrick carved something out of this novel which really wasn't there in the first place, he only needed the story as a vehicle of meaning. To King, this may have appeared as an arrogant (or even condescending) abuse of his story.
I appreciate the blog post and I learned a bunch from it!

Oh, I'm sure, but this just seems like an oddly simple exploit that seems to rely on things that almost look like they shouldn't work.

Like you'd think things like address lines being shorted together, or not being connected, or such things would be simple to test for in a millisecond or two, and be a logical part of a basic test of functionality that just checks that everything seems to be wired up right.
Agree. Writing code is (TBH, only a tiny) part of the project - creating packages for different OSes and distros, testing, filling bug reports, promoting project, writing tips and ticks, articles... Many projects remain unpopular not because the authors aren’t actively maintaining them but because these essential components are missing.

Hey, can you fix the issue where the editor times out and Devin gets stuck?
Great points. Besides performance, centralized coordination and distributed dataplane is better for operability of schedulers as well. Some examples - Being able to roll out new features in the scheduler, tracing scheduling behavior and decisions, deploying configuration changes.

Even with a centralized scheduler it should be possible to create a DevEx that makes use of decorators to author workflows easily.

We are doing that with Indexify(https://github.com/tensorlakeai/indexify) for authoring data intensive workflows to process unstructured data(documents, videos, etc) - it’s like Spark but uses Python instead of Scala/SQL/UDFs.
Indexify’s scheduler is centralized and it uses RocksDB under the hood for persistence, and long term we are moving to a hybrid storage system - S3 for less frequently updated data, and SSD for read cache and frequently updated data(on going tasks).

The scheduler’s latency for scheduling new tasks is consistently under < 800 microseconds on SSDs.

This is how schedulers have been designed traditionally that have a proven track record of working in production - Borg, Hashicorp Nomad, etc. There are many ways a centralized scheduler can scale out beyond a single machine - parallel scheduling across different by sharding jobs, node pools, and then linearizing and deduplicating conflicts during writes is one such approach.

Love DBOs and Hatchet! cheering for you @jedberg and @abelanger :-)

Grounding to reality is key. There’s often a tendency to trust the map over the terrain. This architecture seems to promote relying on the database always have a perfect representation of state. But consider a scenario where a company restores a 12-hour-old backup, losing hours of state. States that can’t be externally revalidated in such cases are a serious concern.
All the USA would have needed to prevent instances like this was some minimal sensible updating of their skilled immigration policies adapting to market shifts, something you can expect from any mature government.

Instead the country sticks to something that was passed TWO DECADES AGO without bothering to make even hygiene changes. Downright amazing, if you ask me. Even the primitive socialist governments of failed states aren't this complacent with macroeconomic controls.
Here's a fact sheet from the ACLU which covers the USCIS denaturalization unit created by Trump during his last administration. [0]

Biden dismantled the unit, and part of Project 2025 is reimplementing it.

> typical hyperbolic fear-mongering from Trump's opponents

Let me be clear. There is nothing hyperbolic about Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation, a prominent Republican think tank, is spearheading it. Hundreds of high-ranking politicians and corporate executives are on board with it. The entire administration is going to push for it, systematically, and get as far as they can. It behooves you to study Project 2025 [1] and understand just how bad the next 4 years can be.

Obligatory preface, before it derails my message, the Biden/Harris machine is also anti-democratic, but with a particular neoliberal flavor, while Project 2025 is a largely domestic coup, with sweeping support across the GOP, in a time where Republicans have control of the Legislative branch, Judicial branch and soon, Executive branch. And once Trump begins mass-replacing government workers with sympathizers, there will be little any of us can really do about it.

The competition is human drivers.
Depends, I'd say. The research fraud around amyloids aside, there is still a strong chance that Alzheimer has a genetic link, and in that case you might have to differentiate between Arabic, African, Asian and Western Muslims first.

Only if you find similarities in lower Alzheimer rates among all of them, you can draw a conclusion pointing to something in Muslim culture helping to reduce Alzheimer rates (say, the yearly fasting acting like keto diet, or not eating pork, or not drinking alcohol/consuming other drugs), but if it is only found in specific heritages I'd assume a genetic component... or environmental factors similar to higher natural lithium content in the water leading to lower suicide mortality [1].

Taking a look. For the past two years I've been thinking about drawing. Why it's difficult, how its possible for people like Kim Jung Gi to draw from their imagination. My theory is that it's a learned thing (as opposed to innate ability), but that it's not taught from primitives well. For example, rotating a cube is something that you cannot really find an explanation for. I think the actual difficulty in drawing (representational-ly) boils down to preserving the identity of objects through rotation. This difficulty is preserved in the presence of perspective or not (orthographic projection).

Interest rates were raised from nearly zero, where they were for a number of years. When the interest rates are that low, high-risk investments like VC are more attractive then alternative (having a low chance of high returns is better than guaranteed no returns at all).
Maybe your player is going bad. And blu-ray may be more resilient than DVD if memory serves.

My experiences with streaming vary.

- You need multiple services with the accompanying headaches.

- some content will still get yanked

- if you don't subscribe to netflix for 6 months they delete your account and you lose lists you had

- quality can be poor depending on circumstance. Even with something like chromecast 4k, netflix doesn't offer way to enforce 4k quality but seems to decidw by itself. The picture looks bad with no way to tell why.

>Alzheimer's research has been going on for decades

Based on some recent high profile cases so have massive scientific fraud.

Which rises the question: are we on a wild goose chase due to following fraudulent science from highly published "thought leaders" when it comes to Alzheimers disease?

On many other major disease categories we've had many major improvements from biologicals and immunotherapies. RA, MS? Compared to the past, they're a walk in the park. Cancer mortality dropping like a rock for the brutal killers of the past, glioblastoma is still a gnarly death sentence but there's hopeful news on the horizon even for that.

Alzheimers? Crickets mostly, biologicals where the error bars eat virtually all of the alleged observable effects? Sounds like we're barking up the wrong alley.
I prefer any book in physical form. Holding a book in my hands is a far more tactile experience, as you get to feel the cover, and smell the pages, which I always find kind of nice in a weird way. I find it easier to stay focused on a book when I have a real physical book. Often with digital books, I close the app and then forget it exists. Especially books I would only read for leisure.

Which probably wasn’t very good PR for them either (see the classic HN CEO response).
I’m happy about this new, actually free plan, I wanted to move all my projects off Netlify when that happened but now I feel a bit more safe.

Be aware you have to explicitly switch to that in your account settings, otherwise you remain on “starter” which starts to bill you.
> What’s the point of quoting this?

To remind us of the large difference between the public image vs the reality of quantum computing.

Expectation: From the news, people are getting a feeling that quantum computing revolution is almost behind the corner, and current cryptosystems will soon become irrelevant. People are (here, in Hacker News) asking "is our society ready for this", "what could I do if I had this chip at home", "existing cryptography technology is in danger", "is it time to 100x key length on browsers".

Reality: Using Shor's algorithm to factor 15 = 5×3 is still far beyond the reach of current quantum computers. We can factor 15 = 5×3 and even 21 = 7×3 if we cheat by eliminating those branches from the calculation that are not on the happy path the correct answer.

Mirroring goes a long way.
> But clearly restitution is not the objective.

It's not the only objective, punishment is also an objective. If not you get settlements like Purdue Pharma's one which even after paying billions in damages still had made more money than that, you don't want an incentive to break the law like that, it becomes just another cost for the business and not really a punishment for it.
This makes the most sense, since it explains how we got the pot involved.
Disagree. Bluesky is a political circle jerk echo chamber designed for weaklings who need authorities to hold their hand in the face of dissenting opinions.
prices start to reflect all the costs necessary

The costs of saving one hour of human work is already basically zero. $0.01 as I said. Operating the infrastructure for that is already profitable. You cannot put R&D into the "costs necessary".

Even for the most extreme applications, the cost is basically zero. Look at how capable the compute stack in every Tesla is.

Look at GPUs used on Huggingface that cost a few hundred dollars and can output a photorealistic image in a few seconds.

To replace most human work, we don't even need those extreme cases of compute. Look up what most people do for work these days. They do really simple tasks.
Unless anyone else in the house is doing anything at all on the internet. Then the stream has weird hitches and pauses, it buffers occasionally, and it'll "seamlessly" switch between glorious 4k and half-baked potato quality at random.

Sorry did I suggest other people in the house were a requirement? Nah, it just does that anyway. Too many points of failure between the endpoint and the provider, and way too much distrust that the user may try to capture the footage once they have it, to solve all of the above problems, because the license holders don't like that.

Correct, you nailed it.

FWIW:

There were some really cool comments on the last article re: Willow.

One of them being, a reference to a apparently well-known "roadmap" of quantum scaling that apparently got written up a few years back.

Apparently the Willow result was the 2026 baseline projection.

So their message was "well...not too big a deal, we achieved 2026 at ~2025." Also said that the same roadmap would have that achieved in 15-20 years.

> Oh yeah, and that anecdote you told about tectonic plates screams survivorship bias; that's the problem with anecdotes.

Very good point. For every tectonic plates theory or heliocentric system or H. pylori causing ulcers there are thousands of claims that are plain wrong. Statistically speaking, knowledgeable critics acting in good faith (eg, not having strong conflict of interests) are correct with the overwhelming probability.
Not exactly a new idea, but as a fun side project, I built an AI photo generator (i.e., an SD/FLUX wrapper) https://www.photovortex.com which has crossed $500MRR last month.

I also just launched a spin-off of it, https://www.portrayya.com which is more focused on generating a set of portraits of a single person (i.e. headshots for linkedin etc.) instead of prompting individual images.

Overall this is a very crowded space now because it's so easy to build, but there is still a learning curve around landing page design, conversion, ads etc. and potentially some niches to explore.
That's a good rule of thumb, but you should keep in mind that it's impossible to fundamentally understand most of today's challenges. I'd argue this has kinda lost it's meaning as we kept adding more and more leaky abstractions over the decades, making a fundamental understanding of the whole tech stack and what each layer does impossible.

And without these abstractions, you'd struggle to even do a fraction of what today's platforms provide.

But yes, the closer you can get to understanding the challenge you're solving, the better you'll likely be able to solve it. With the caveat that this understanding doesn't necessarily let you truly innovate either. It's just a rule of thumb from a time when computers were much less versatile and ubiquitous.

Totally off topic from the context of the article though
I feel like I have a fairly good understanding of linear algebra, or at least I did when I studied it at uni but that was a while ago.

They don't own the words "open source" no matter how much they might like to.

> “Open Source” describes a subset of free software that is made available under a copyright license approved by the Open Source Initiative as conforming with the Open Source Definition.

No it doesn't. It describes software whose source is "open" which is generally understood to mean that you can read, modify and reuse the code for free.

Public domain definitely fits that. The "public domain doesn't exist in some countries" arguments are spurious as far as I can tell.

It examines the fact that Jack keeps stealing glances straight at the camera throughout the film (no-one else does this). Probably the best explanation is that Kubrick wanted to unnerve the audience and it's very effective.
