I'm absolutely not for these cuts, and I believe that social sciences are important. Nonetheless, the politicization and radicalization of social sciences in the last 15 years is undeniably problematic, and plays a role in the balcanization of society.
Academic detachment from reality is a problem even smart academics can joke about, as they know it is somewhat of a true trope.
The ones that certainly laugh about that the least are a lot of social scientists, in my experience.
They are also often very far from considering the complexity of economics in their fields of studies, and that's also an issue.
Sprinkle some identity politics dust on it, and you have the perfect recipe for disaster, offering conservatives and anti-progressists your academic head on a silver platter.
I believe that social sciences (yep, it's a generalization, I know...) have failed to play academic politics properly in the last two decades, mostly due to radicalization of ideas and topics.

Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Fluent in Japanese, can watch kdrama and mostly follow along and have basic conversations in Korean, forgot virtually all the Chinese I did but I managed to pass HSK2 after 2 months of study and then HSK3 the following month. I was only in China for 3 months on a work trip, so I thought I'd have some fun.
Well, the real issue with Chomsky is that he came into vogue during the “linguistic” turn, except he misunderstood the anglo philosophers, thinking their theories had a natural basis, and misunderstood the french, thinking that their studies of writing and discourse made them philosophers of language. But the Kantian project still stands, one must have an architectonic, before one can make a scientific approach. But Kant was always sure to set his critical project within its dialectic, and placed the basis of cognition below language and discourse. That is what the French were able to capture, and its why contemporary philosophy today is so suffuse with discourses on aesthetics (though I’m being a bit broad with what I refer to as “Philosophy,” perhaps it’d be better to say “philosophical work”).
Looks very interesting!
A video is also a must for me as well as an independent review.

> no one wants to take a risk on unproven idea

I think this one's the gist of it, and the big irony we'll all suffer from: While it gets cheaper to produce new things, not a lot of things will be original anymore.

I once heard that the 90s were the decade of references, and that might have just stuck a bit for too long: The boom of second-hand, mid-century furniture, the "industrial" look, rounded edged everywhere. Hell, even smartphones are just a reference to Sci-Fi flicks from the 60s (the case was Apple VS Samsung, I think). On demand services and the easy piracy of digital goods... I feel while there has been an perceived increase in quality for each individual at first, all these things helped everything to converge into "the average" for everyone.

We still see originality here and there, but you can just feel their competition against big budget productions. The movie Mandy (2018) was great, so was the show Scavengers Reign (2023), Breaking Bad etc. Landscape FM produce really interesing audio gear. I'm sure Open-Source (Hard- and Software) makes a lot of this possible, but for small and big equaly alike - depending on business practice, small might even be in danger to suffer from it.

I'm sure we all have our gems, but they just feel rare in this huge landscape. I just wish it would be a more common practice to support local artists and individials that take this mentioned risk, without having to turn it into a growth hacking startup idea.
There is a lot to like, but not enough info right now to make me place an order! I have many questions. For example

regarding the machine,

- can you confirm if the pump can be adjusted during the shot (profiling)?

- can the shot be programmed too, or just manual?

regarding the grinder,

- can you explain a bit how the "knocker" works when you twist the hopper?

- I guess that the burr is unimodal, do you have more details about distribution or flavor profile?
> who decides

Well, any person involved in the process of making something real? And that would include doctors right? Why doesn't doctor/health professionals opinion matters if they are the ones actually executing the request?

Full-grown adults in a society don't live alone - others opinion matters too.
I remember trying to teach myself coding as a young teenager in the early 00's. I started with Java but it was too complex for a complete newbie working only with a text editor and command line, and I couldn't quite grasp the necessary concepts. It wasn't until someone recommended BASIC that I really got going. Really an ideal language to teach basic control flow concepts and other basics to a young newbie. Also great for playing around with graphics. Graduated from that to C and C++ after a few months.
There's plenty they can do. For one, control all your media (for example banning of tiktok, since chinese oligarchs are not aligned with our oligarchs), with control over media they can prevent your message from getting out (e.g. Luigi Mangione's manifesto being disappeared), or if the message does get out they can spread propaganda to turn the population against you (see, BLM and many other movements). Also they can remove all your privacy so that any subversive action has a high social cost such as losing your job. Also they can overspend on a stifling police state even as surveillance and control tools get better and cheaper.

Really, they're getting better and better at this, they have tons of practice and their population control tools are getting better.

> what do you do when people turn out to need social scientists?

I’m usually supportive of fundamental research where there are no specific benefits known ahead of time, because the track record of fundamental research is pretty good in terms of eventual payoff - but some of the social sciences are definitely on the soft end of this, and the examples given in the article don’t seem to make a strong case for being something NZ needs, when considered alongside all the other things NZ needs.

Electric cables are made from insulation (plastic) and wires (metal). Wires use metal, insulation typically does not, so it's NOT easy to make a whole cable out of metal.
I feel like, that he would be interested in the product nevertheless. Maybe it wouldn't be a review, but just a demonstration of the ideas and concepts used in the machine.

I think it definitively would be worth a shot to just hit him up and ask if he could take a look at it.
what is a systems programmer?
First of all, congratulations. It must be a monumental task to design and manufacture a mechanical machine.

However, the website is kind of confusing regarding the operation of the machine.
You say that the machine accepts hot water directly, so no boiler or thermoblock, which results in a simpler machine. But where does the water come from? I see 2 pipes leading to/from the machine in the videos, so I’m guessing the water feeds from one and drains from the other?
So you need to preheat water in a container? Won’t the water cool rapidly while traveling in the pipe?
Nope? Not at that pace anyway. At a fast pace for a human, yes, but not at 60x faster than "fast".
nope!!

Congrats, I'm jealous. I too want to design an espresso machine and I see that you covered many of my complaints already :)

It looks great and the presentation is also amazing. However, I wasn't able to understand the website at first glance because my first instinct was to check who made this and how much it costs. You have to click a few times to see the price and I couldn't find who is going to send me this from where. IMHO you should have a page explaining why I should trust you and also I would like to see an address because when those things lack I got the vibes that someone is trying to sell me something from Temu at %1000 price. It's just the vibes.

Anyway, I hope you have succeed in this because the espresso machines desperately need a revolution.

Not only profit but convenience.

I do have enough stuff going on in my life.

Everything that is custom needs additional maintenance or care.

If someone is rich enough not to work they can dabble in some customization or they have enough money to hire someone to care for that custom stuff.

Most people are not rich enough don’t have enough time to go fancy so they stick lowest common denominator.

Show HN: I built a tool to make you move or pay up
Inspired by GoFuckingDoIt, I made a tool that makes you pay for being lazy about exercise.

- Set a weekly fitness goal (like running 10 km a week or doing 120min of weight training)
- Assign a penalty fee (e.g.: 5€) if you fail
- Each Monday, I check your Strava data of the previous week. Hit your target? You’re safe. Miss it? I charge your card.

Available activity for now : running, walking, swimming, riding, hiking, weigt training (more coming)

Only compatible with Strava for this v1 but I would like to be compatible with more sport apps. You can also take a look at the next features on the homepage.

This idea was born from a simple truth: staying committed is hard, and we all need a little extra push sometimes. It's not about guilt or punishment, it's about commitment.
Unlike other fitness apps, my tool isn’t about rewards. It’s about real stakes and real motivation (but it's not suited for all, for sure!).
thank you, your feedback is very important to me! I will now do some soul searching.
Could this be an effect of the novelty of a new art medium?

When films first became a thing, no one knew how to make them. The proven template didn’t exist. There was more variety because there was more experimentation, and eventually what was once pioneering experimentation becomes mainstream commodity and the novelty wears off.

The same thing happened with music when the synthesizer was invented; no one knew how to make music with a synthesizer so it was all experimentation. It still happens today in burgeoning subgenres of electronic music. A new sound is invented (or rediscovered, more recently), music producers flock to this exciting new frontier, eventually it reaches mainstream, and by that time it is no longer novel or interesting. Rinse and repeat.
The author make automata reversible by xoring with the previous row's cell. But some rules are reversible without this trick. For example rule 0xf0:

111 110 101 100 011 010 001 000
1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0

will shift all cells one step to the right and is thus the reverse of rule 0xaa which shifts all cells to the left:

111 110 101 100 011 010 001 000
1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0

My question is how can we test which of the 256 rules are reversible and how do they pair up?

Uhm, I really don't think that the market-segment of "people who prefer other laptop aspects more than portability" is best-described as "autistic."

Late-P.S.: The opposite direction seems iffy too, assuming the word isn't being used in a 4-chan-esque broad online-person insult sense.
Globally? Sure, assuming cost of living is measured against a fixed quality standard.

Specific countries may be failing to improve, but if you're from the USA remember that your country is 4.25% of the world, and very few of you were ever in abject poverty in the beginning of that timeframe.

Global abject poverty as a standard is roughly "sleeping rough" in western terms (more precisely, it's 2.15 US dollars of purchasing power per day), and the number of people worldwide at that level has gone from 1930 million in 1994 to 1510 million in 2004 to 806 million in 2014 to 693 million today.

> The idea that someone with mental illness cannot make legitimate choice has been around in the legal system for a while

There is mental illness and then there is competence, they are related but not the same. Complicating things further in this case would be things like reactive mental states (grieving etc) which might for a time manifest like mental illness but tend to be not diagnosed.

Health care can do a lot these days and extend a persons life by a lot, but with this the question about the quality of life arises. Assisted dying is one answer to this. Personally, half-way through life, I plan to avoid it by keeping myself fit with exercises, cycling and running.
It often refers to programmers that develop things that other programmers use to construct applications. A systems programmer may work on compilers, operating systems, framework libraries, etc.

They will also often work with lower-level abstractions, such as threads, so that the higher-level developers need not think about them in their own designs.
By calling them "H. sapiens neanderthalensis", the authors are tipping their hand. They view Neanderthal's as a subspecies. There are those who disagree. The definition of what a species is seems to depend on who you talk to.

There are examples of animals, currently classified as different species, being able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

e.g. Polar bears (Ursus Maritimus) and Grizzlies (Ursus arctos horribilis) can breed to produce fertile Grolar bears[1].

TL;DR: Although Polar bears and Grizzlies appear to be very different, they diverged relatively recently and have remained distinct mainly through geographic separation. They don't interbreed much because they generally aren't in the same places during mating season. Although their physical traits have changed considerably, genetic differences haven't yet built up to the point where their offspring are infertile.

It's conceivable that the different subspecies of humans were isolated from each other in very different environments and evolved along very different lines. However, they weren't isolated from each other so long that genetic changes made it impossible for them to produce fertile offspring.

This type of expenditure is a rounding error. We spend more dollars on charging phones that is then spent on flipping videos on TikTok. And TikTok only exists because of this type of curiosity based research. Not to mention antibiotics, refrigerators, cars, GPS, etc, etc, etc. The list is literally too long.

In 2024, 12-month inflation starts at 3.1% and is 2.7% last month (peak at 3.5% and bottom at 2.4%). You can't round that number in anyway to be "~2%". It is at least "~3%"

I wonder whether the reason for this is a lack of available certified oauth libraries on top of which to build a provider at the time it was built, which led most of these examples to roll their own, with the obvious flaws. There isn't yet such a certification for oauth, although the oidc federation certifies and lists a bunch of them: https://openid.net/developers/certified-openid-connect-imple... (I maintain one of them). Which is the next best thing.

agreed, I had to often explain lower level simple stuff was there for them, because they didn't happen to know about that thing and were surprised.
I am not a mathematician, but here is a motivation I read somewhere some years ago.

There are basically two ways to produce big numbers: add two small numbers, or multiply two small numbers. You can produce all positive integers by starting with zero and repeatedly adding one. You can almost do the same thing with multiplication too, except for these pesky primes, which are somehow atomic. Naturally then, one might ask: (a) How many primes are there? (b) How frequently do they occur? (c) Can we look at a number and determine whether it is a prime?
Now consider: Despite being among the oldest of the mathematical disciplines, there are still open problems about primes that can be explained to high school students.

Also, multiplication and addition are not simply operations that are of interest with respect to integers, but similar ideas apply to a bunch of other domains too. Polynomials, for example. So primality and primality-like ideas are like catnip for mathematicians.
Wasn't trying to but I may have accidentally replied to the wrong comment.

Windows is god awful, Macs at least have virtual desktops that mostly work. Windows sort of has them, but its really an afterthought. Hopefully you don't get an application trying to grab focus on an alternative VD, at best it will switch, but I've seen it lock interactions until you find it.
> I don't know what great inventions and technological leaps we are going to see in 2030, 2040, or 2050, but what I do know is that the benefits and wealth from them will be captured by the same class that is capturing everything today.

I have good news and bad news. The world doesn't stand still. There are some iterations that destroy the structure of society, after which a new structure must be built. The oligarchies of today will meet their end at some point. And, no amount of preemptive effort can prevent that. That's as the good news go, in as much as they are good news.

These are not my ideas exclusively. If you want to hear them from people that has dedicated a fair amount of time at exploring this subject and gathering data, I recommend these books:

- Capital in the Twenty-First Century, for an overview of historical change. You will find that the author agrees with you in many accounts.

- The Collapse of Complex Societies, by Josph A. Tainter.

- Principles for dealing with the changing world order.

The bad news is that the most likely iteration coming around the corner is human's lost of control of our societies in favor of machine intelligence. It's not going to be as "peaceful" as the rise of the post WWII world order, but I hope that we survive.
Last time I checked economics is also a social science...

Prime numbers are one of the distinguishing features of number theory, which means they also show up all over the place in anything related to discrete mathematics, which in turn means they show up all over the place in computer science.

Any maths-y field of study that has the concept of decomposition also has the concept of primality, usually in a way that relates to primality in the natural numbers. This means anything we learn about prime numbers also extends to those other fields of study.
