Interesting, I was hoping it would be more specific than "English" (e.g. "Southern Illinois"), but I'm sure that's just around the corner. It looks like this is an advertisement for a product to "lose" your accent, so as long as you sound like a native English-speaker they're happy.

> If the bids were open, the competing parties could simply go $1 above the highest offer [..]

Isn't that what you want to happen?

All the auctions I've ever participated have repeated this very process until none of the buyers are prepared to raise their bid, at which point it appears the seller has got the highest price anyone will offer.

What am I missing?
Did you read the article? That's exactly what they did.
It's not a binary thing, addiction is very dynamic, especially alcohol because of its ubiquity in the west. Nearly all alcoholics no matter how bad once had a fairly typical usage pattern, often for many years or decades before something changed and they lost control of it.

Changes to lifestyle, stress, recreation patterns, and access can all be factors in it spiraling out, and once you're there it's hard to gently wind it back. It's difficult to compare directly because a lot of the places with intentionally high taxes on alcohol also have strong public healthcare systems.

But even simple measures like municipal ordinances against selling sub-500ml containers of hard liquor show small but clear results in reducing addiction rates. In any case the consensus among addiction medicine professionals right now seems to be in favor of this sort of "soft restriction" public health policy.
Read this, read the associated NJ article, still confused how a single hobbyist size drone was able to stop a medical helicopter from landing at a crash site.

It might be alarming, it might fly erratically and be slightly scary, except its like a foot wide. Its close to not landing at a crash site because there's an aggressive hawk hovering nearby.
The sun is damaging because it contains ionizing radiation (radiation that is powerful enough to directly disassociate a molecule into ions). This is the UV portion of sunlight.

UV starts at 800,000 GHz.

The 6Ghz being discussed here is completely non-ionizing, not even comparable to UV.

The only concern with 6Ghz is that is can also cause dielectric heating, which is the same as a microwave. But again, at 25mW, you can't even feel the heat from direct contact with the antenna, let alone a few meters away. Your exposure follows the inverse-square law [1], which means that it drops proportional to the square of the distance. So if it's not a problem at 10cm, it's 100x less of a non-problem at 1m.

Looks like it does not allow new channels for 6 GHz Wi-Fi. 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) already covers full range of FCC's allowed frequency range. IEEE committee may add new channels in 802.11bn (expected to be ratified around 2028, and commercial name will be Wi-Fi 8) but it also looks like a low probably, considering both 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/ Wi-Fi 6e) and 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) mostly focuses on reducing the interference between different networks by reducing the collision, instead of widening the spectrum (BSS coloring, Flexible Channel Utilization etc.)

Well yes and no. Strain on the skeleton from excess muscle isn't particularly a problem unless someone is really huge or does a lot of running. The skeleton adapts to handle the load. Having more strength in the muscles that stabilize joints actually reduces the risk of joint injuries — up to a point.

https://peterattiamd.com/belindabeck/

The medical problems with excess muscle mass tend to be more on the cardiovascular system than the skeleton. And the process of gaining a lot of muscle mass can increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries (especially if using PEDS), which is a key confounding factor when looking at population health statistics.

Show HN: Lfi – a lazy functional sync, async, and concurrent iteration library
Hey HN! Roughly 4 years ago I started building a lazy functional iteration library for JS/TS. I had a few goals for the library:

- Supporting sync, sequential async, and concurrent async iteration

- Limiting it to a small number of orthogonal concepts that compose beautifully to solve problems

- Making it fully tree-shakeable

I built it for myself and have (mostly) been its only user as I refined it. I've used it in lots of personal projects and really enjoyed it.

I recently decided it would be nice to spread that enjoyment so I created a documentation website complete with a playground where you can try out the library.

I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts :)
have you experienced particularly slow pushes with large repositories at all, and if so were you able to resolve them?

I did some profiling & it looks like the issue lies with `libgit2`, but I haven’t been able to replicate the issue outside of that work codebase[0].

Assuming the hue and saturation components stay the same, changes in lightness would result in various shades of the same “color”. I think. Maybe. The problem is that in real life changes in lightness result in changes in saturation as well, so things get wonky.
I started doing it as well. Not only is the quality great (4k, HDR 10+ or Dolby Vision, uncompressed audio) but equally important is that it cannot be taken away.

If I love a movie on X streaming service and they have some licensing problem or decide it's not worth what they're paying to host it, they can remove it at any time. I'm sick of that. I'm sick of what's available changing on a daily basis, and constantly getting split among more and more services that charge more and more monthly.
This is the AI's master plan to enslave humanity? They're going to have to work a lot harder.

WhatsApp uses your phone as the primary message store. Its architecture is more similar to SMS than to typical DB-driven client-server apps. Their servers are only designed to pass messages through, not persist them (they persist them only until they're delivered to all recipients, which usually is very short). This is an uncommon design these days, but it's also what's let them serve half the world with 5 backend engineers (!) back before Facebook/Meta bought them. It's also why, if you didn't make any backups, you lose your WhatsApp message history when you switch phones.

So the web/desktop clients are thin clients over that store on your phone, which keep an eventually-consistent cache of the messages somewhere locally (indexeddb or something like that I bet). So if I'm not mistaken, when you open the web client, it connects to a WhatsApp relay server which wakes up the WhatsApp app on your phone, asks it for any new messages since last time it connected, and syncs them over. This is a fast but not instant process and what you're seeing is the UI realtime updating as the messages are being synced. The longer since you've had the web client open, the longer this takes.

I'm not sure if it's deliberate but I can totally imagine it to be. It very clearly shows the syncing taking place. Personally, since I'm rather enamored by their design, I love seeing it play out in realtime.

Note, I'm not 100% sure about any of the above, notably core aspects of the architecture might've changed since Meta took over.
Teleop and monitoring are systems that we've built ourselves and are pretty happy with. Since we use MuJoCo for simulation/visualization and some kinematics subroutines, to visualize, I just keep the MuJoCo GL context open after rendering and then throw all of our sensor data into it - it's very performant and low latency!

We've since introduced a message-bus layer that makes it possible to do it all over the internet etc, but adds the associated serialization and transport latency.

> Which is almost everywhere in the world

Yeah, no. If this was 1984 you'd be right on the money. In 2024 "We mostly burn coal to make electricity" either means you're subsidising coal or you have no infrastructure investment to move to a better generation.

> Fossil fuels make up around 80% of energy production.

Where are you still seeing 80%? Last I saw was closer to 60%. A lot of that isn't coal, and the gasoline is not electricity production†. Gasoline is what we're replacing in the discussion, so "Yeah, but what about gasoline?" is a total misfire. Which mostly leaves methane. And that's a very different comparison to coal. There are indeed new methane electricity plants in lots of places.

A methane power plant might emit half or even a third of the CO2 of the equivalent coal plant. It's still a fossil fuel, but in terms of the ratio we're talking about for break-even on an EV, that's a huge difference.

> If they were "just cheaper and easier" they wouldn't need huge clean energy investments and subsidies.

You're seeing huge investments because they're expensive and make money, that's what an investment is. They're not investing in coal plants because that's a money loser. Yes, it's often subsidised, in my country the renewable energy schemes are subsidised via "Contracts for Difference" which have the effect of insuring the price paid for energy, leaving the problem of delivering the energy very much in the hands of the bidders, the government is only the hook for the agreed price of energy when it's delivered, this has the effect of making investment less risky - if you can make 1000GWh of energy over the lifetime of the project and the subsidy says you're definitely getting £50 per MWh, that's £50M, without CfD you can't be sure if you get paid £80 per MWh (we're £30M richer) or £20 per MWh (we're bankrupt) until the power auctions years after you've constructed the plant.

† Yes there are a handful of power plants running on this fuel, but they're insignificant at a global scale.
My understanding is that they bought ACF in 2022 - this article from 2021 doesn't mention them at all. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/blog/10-years-of-acf-a-...

Your overall point is still valid though - they were for example sponsors of the very conference where mm first went berserk.
This kind of stat is misleading and is seen in many health metrics - blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. In fact, it's sometimes known as the "cholesterol paradox" because people with higher cholesterol have a lower risk of dying. However, it's misleading because blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol often come down as people suffer from chronic disease or malnutrition. The chronic diseases people get are often from their weight, blood pressure and cholesterol, and when this is corrected for, the all-cause mortality curves better reflect what a healthy person's numbers should be. So in reality the lowest point of the all-cause mortality curve for BMI is below 25. 25 is not optimal.

Dr. Carvalho recently made a video on this topic (he even mentions the BMI curve). You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4h135SBebc

> There was no public auction of InfoWars

The auction was indeed very public. The bids were not.

The only requirement to participate was you had to show the Trustee that you were serious and had the means to participate. Only 2 parties did that.

The auction dates were published in newspapers and various news outlets announced that it was going to happen.
Nobody ever promised full autonomous with this kit to the best of my knowledge so your claim of "fake it till you make it" is a mischaracterization. It calls it "highway autopilot" in the video, shows highway, what is the problem?
When you have a complex locked in problem that most people genuinely already want to solve, it can be solved with good leadership- someone needs to have a clear and workable vision and get all of the players organized to collectively act at the same time.

One doesn't need to be a politician to do this, but just as an example Obama was able to do this to make some improvements to the US healthcare situation.

Unfortunately, the people most affected by these problems are probably not in a position to acquire the knowledge and skills to lead the entire field to a better solution like this.
Thoughts on Rust Hashing
Does it? If it's public knowledge that Alice would pay $200 and Bob would pay $100 then Alice wouldn't actually bid $200, she'd bid $101 and still win, the same result as that type of auction. If nobody knows what Alice would bid except Alice then it's even worse, because Bob thinks he could win at $60 and would rather pay $60 than $100 and Alice correctly predicts that Bob is going to do that and then wins by bidding $75. And if Bob bids $80 then Alice can still buy it from Bob for $110 but the estate is still getting $80 instead of $101.

I’d say we need to reach the point where nuclear Armageddon is no longer possible. Even then, it’s possible we got lucky and nukes were actually more dangerous than not having them, but we’d at least be able to definitely say that their total kill count is only X, for whatever X turns out to be.

Holy shit. I grew up in Armenia when I was 8 and been in the US for 22 years, and by all accounts English is my primary language, and this got it spot on, with 84% confidence. Was not expecting that for such a unknown accent.

I am guessing this was not trained on a dataset of people speaking English in various accents, but rather is directly detecting your native language.

Time for another episode of "The Case for 9224" (not criticizing you! it's just my hobby, apparently)

That comment has gotten a bum rap over the years. The commenter was trying to be helpful with Dropbox's YC application (that's what "app" meant on HN in 2007). Back then, file synchronization was widely thought to be a solution-in-search-of-a-problem. I've been trying for years to get people to understand this (starting at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23229275, then https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), even though I know you can't argue with the internet.

The comment only became infamous years later [1, 2], after Dropbox was clearly a success—so this is a case of hindsight. If people would only read all three comments, instead of stopping at the first, they'd see that the exchange was pleasant and successful [3]. But a meme is more fun. It didn't exist, so it had to be invented! [4]

Compare that with the other infamous-HN-comment-from-2007, "did you win the Putnam" [5], which got pilloried in real time. No hindsight fallacy there!

If the hivemind had empathy (which alas it does not), people would stop to consider how they'd feel about getting publicly mocked over decades for something they posted with good intentions at age 22 [6]. Alas, this is how the internet works—not much we can do about it. It's amazing, though, what a good sport BrandonM has been about it all this time. That part of the story is actually real, so we should celebrate that too.
