I think this still fits the pattern I was referring to. Observation of a concerning trend but minimal or no direct evidence of harm. In this case accumulation in reproductive organs.

That article cites (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9134445).

> Animal studies have shown exposure to microplastics can impact sperm quality and male fertility,

That paper covers numerous aspects. Regarding specifically reproductive harm in mammals, it in turn cites numerous other studies at which point it becomes rather time consuming for me to get up to speed in the nuances of a field that I'm not intimately familiar with.

Having checked at least a few of the relevant citations, it looks like (most of?) the research in animal models involves short term acute rather than long term low level exposure. Not being an expert in this specific area I can't readily assess the quality or applicability of such studies. At least from what I looked through just now I'm not at all convinced that what the current animal studies are showing is (necessarily) directly relevant to low level environmental exposure.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30176444/

> exposed to 5 μm polystyrene MP at the concentrations of 100 (approximately 1.456 × 106 particles/L) and 1000 μg/L (approximately 1.456 × 107 particles/L) for the toxicological experiment.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32659591/

> the 0.5 μm, 4 μm, 10 μm polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) treatment groups were given 100 μL PS-MPs (10 mg/mL) by oral gavage once a day.

From my perspective there are a couple huge red flags here, and they seem to be present in all the studies I checked just now. I didn't immediately see comparisons of these protocols to the environmental conditions in the world at large (either current or predicted). Neither did I immediately see quantification of the degree and nature of the observed tissue accumulation in comparison to that observed in tissue samples collected in the wild. The latter is of particular concern because these accumulations in the laboratory happened very rapidly (over the course of a few weeks) in the face of acute exposure and impacts were then immediately measured. That doesn't really resemble what's going on in the world at large.

It is of course entirely possible that I missed something when quickly looking over studies that are outside my area of expertise. Apologies if so.

Lest it seem to you that I'm being overly pedantic here consider the difference in outcome for chlorine exposure between long term low level (ie tap water) and short term acute (ie poisoning).

Why do US states allow counties and cities to raise so many taxes?

Usually (across the world and across history) the power of taxation is very jealously guarded, and local government is usually only allowed to gather a limited range of taxes. Historically sovereigns have treated attempts by subordinates to raise their own taxes as tantamount to treason.
Okay. How do I get a passkey on a device? Say if I'm using Firefox on Linux.

I'm surprised I haven't yet heard of companies who would handle this for you, like there are e.g. for handling the process of getting compensation when an airline screws up scheduling or loses baggage, etc. I'm guessing there isn't enough money to be won there for them to be able to survive off a percentage of it.
Simply reacting with “>5% of honeypot IPs have issued an ARP response” would be a valuable alert about a network scan in progress, no matter how long the delay between addresses pinged. The point isn’t to make the network inscrutable, it’s to make it much more risky to scan at all. That the ARP is delayed to the third attempt is interesting but presumably tunable based on whatever the reactivity thresholds for the customer are.
> My kitchen is not very pretty

I would love to see the machine in a messy kitchen, where it is used to actually make coffee. Because to be honest, looking at the picture, it looks more like a decorative object than a functional coffee machine. Seeing it in its natural environment shows that it is the machine you use to make your own coffee (you do, right?), give some practicality.

To be fair, no one does that, it is not how marketing works, I guess. But here, it is not a regular espresso machine where we can immediately see how it works because we have already seen dozens of them, so a more practical shot saying "it is doesn't just look good on the countertop, it has a function, and that function is to make coffee".

The example in the video even has the name `authorizer` in the default export, but really it's an `authenticator` or `identifyer` or `isThisUserWhoTheySayTheyArer` – not a `shouldTheyHaveAccessizer`.

- The people that are left and the people that it doesn't happen straight away on: i.e. the people who still have something "scarce". That's what capitialism and/or any system that rations resources based on price/supply/demand does. This includes people in things slower to automate (i.e. think trades, licensed work, etc) and other economic resources (landowners, capital owners, general ownership of assets). Inequality will widen and those people winning will buy the houses, cars, etc. The businesses pitching to the poor/middle classes might disappear. Even if you are disrupted eventually being slower to disrupt gives you relatively more command of income/rent/etc than the ones disrupted before you giving you a chance to transition that income into capital/land/real assets which will remain scarce. Time is money. AI is a real asset holder's dream.

- Unskilled work will become even more diminished: A lot of people in power are counting on this to solve things like aging population care, etc. Move from coding software to doing the hard work in a nursing home for example is a deflationary force and makes the older generations (who typically have more wealth) even more wealthier as the effect would be deflationary overall and amplify their wealth. The industries that will benefit (at the expense of ones that don't) will be the ones that can appeal to the winners - resources will be redirected at them.

- Uneven disruption rates: I disagree that the AU disruption force will be even - I think the academic types will be disrupted much more than the average person. My personal opinion is that anything in the digital world can be disrupted much quicker than the physical realm for a number of reasons (cost of change/failure, energy, rules of physics limitations, etc). This means that as a society there will be no revolution (i.e. it was your fault for doing that; why should the rest of society bear the cost? be adaptable...). This has massive implications for what society values long term and the type of people valued in the new world as well socially, in personal relationships, etc.

i.e. Software dev's/ML researchers/any other white collar job/etc in the long run have shot themselves in the foot IMO. The best they can hope for is that LLM's do have a limit to progres, that there is an element of risk to the job that still requires some employment, and time is given to adjust. I hope I'm wrong since I would be affected too. No one will feel sorry for them - after all other professions know better than to do this to themselves on average and they have also caused a lot of disruption themselves (taste of their own medicine as they say).
Thank you for sharing your feedback with me, NoPicklez!

There are many problems at multiple levels. There's the layout of course because we all have limited real-estate space and AI answers/responses push down everything else in most cases.

This forces users to scroll down, which adds cognitive load (some extensions block AI overviews, but this simply confirms how fed up people are).

I'd say the biggest problem is ethical: how can content produced by humans be scrapped without prior authorization be monetized by data giants at the expense of content creators and publishers?

This is copyright infringement, pure and simple!

And there's another issue with RAG: the nature of content fundamentally changes. I spoke about this very slowly in a hiking video (English isn't my native language).

I have no idea if I'm allowed to share a link to this video here (this is my first post)...
From hands-on experience, I've learned that v86 initially had some severe, ugly warts, which made writing a v86 "hypervisor" way more tedious, and make it run slower, than what seemed reasonable. These limitations were addressed in much later CPUs in the so called "VME" extensions, for which there was apparently quite some drama related to NDAs, and subsequent reverse engineering: https://www.rcollins.org/articles/vme1/

My (long abandoned) toy OS used virtual 8086 to provide "DOS services" support. The idea was that I could focus on the interesting parts of the OS, and outsource everything that I either hadn't gotten to yet, or that I didn't want to get to, to DOS.

That included several devices, the filesystem, an entire shell (command.com isn't great, but better than nothing), even networking through packet drivers if needed. The OS was a "modern" and full protected mode true multitasking OS, but one of its task was the DOS instance you started it from, transplanted as a v86 task, and my OS could just call into that (and vice versa, so you could run DOS programs that call into my OS). Initially, even allocating memory would just ask DOS to do the bookkeeping!

(I never got to implement VME since I made v86 work on itself, and I dropped this toy project once my work fully shifted to working on real OSes at that level anyway.)

> Just go sell $2-4k/mo SaaS to a medium sized traditional industry that has ancient, crummy software with a target customer employee size of 50 - 1,000 people.

I’ve successfully done exactly this.

Except in order to get there, we had to spend 3-4 years selling cheap $29/mo self-serve plans at volume to iron out all of the kinks in the product and UX. Only after that were we able to go upmarket selling $40-90k/yr contracts.

It all boils down to the fact that customers paying $20k/yr or more have extremely high expectations across the board. It’s extremely difficult to just pop into a completely new market with a brand new product untested by anyone, and expect large companies to trust and buy from you.

Are you sure? When I shop in Japan, it seems like about 50/50 where they have sales tax included, or not. However, the price tag will be clear if the price includes sales tax or not.

Most of that "complexity" are systems that help the pilots, reduce workload and possibility of error. It's really hard to crash a modern airliner.

Ask HN: Hosted Tools at Work
At work I host a couple of internal tools for myself and my coworkers that I expose with a web UI. Most of them are useful productivity tools. My favorite:

- Hound for indexing and searching internal repos with RegEx https://github.com/hound-search/hound
- jsonnet-playground to render and share jsonnet snippets https://github.com/michaeljs1990/jsonnet-playground
- diff-text to quickly compare text or code https://github.com/andygock/diff-text

Anyone have any other fun/useful ones they use? How are people hosting these their tools?
That's the point, a wrong realist.
Are these unusual or is it something that happens with every administration?
Probably wasn't a bad idea though
I think you're mistaking the Windows Subsystems for "virtualization". Windows has/had tons of subsystems beside the today well known WSL.

There were MSFU, NTVDM (Dos) or even OS/2 subsystems. As Windows NT is based on the ideas and code of OS/2 (the chkdsk output is the same till Windows 7 iirc) both OS support the subsystem feature. Printing is its own subsytem btw.

This went as far as having the Win32 subsystem available on OS/2 and vice versa.

These subsystems are small layers that convert between the NT native system and the software that is run on top of them. The thing you call Windows is just the Win32/Win64 "subsystem" running on top of the NT-Kernel.

Here a few links I could find regarding this topic. This stuff is ancient and Microsoft doesn't make a big fuzz about it, because it's one of the core features that allows Microsoft to port Windows quickly to any platform and run software built for any architecture on top of the NT kernel.

There are enough "subsystems" out there, like Windows on Windows (WoW64) or even Windows on Arm and so on.

This hole is deeeeeeep. I recommend the sysinternals book.

Call it "legacy code" if you'd like. That specific part is from a less common feature for setting options when running on a Selenium Grid. The new CDP Mode isn't compatible with The Grid (since CDP Mode makes direct CDP API calls without making Selenium API calls).

Actually, I was looking for the resolution and I can't find that anywhere on the page or in the FAQs.
You shouldn't assume others are acting in bad faith when the much more likely explanation is you're just not paying attention.

Three major developments from the courts in this direction have been:

- The overturning of Chevron gave courts the power to interpret portions of laws written by subject matter experts, instead of those experts themselves.

- The big questions doctrine has allowed the courts to decide when the legislature has deligated too much power.

- Cornerpost has removed the statue of limitations for challenge policies and rules out in place by agencies.

These together clearly paint a picture. Any policy can be challenged (in any venue, allowing the plaintiff to pick their venue). This allows policies in place for decades to be challenged and brought to the supreme court. The most recent court has adopted the major questions doctrine, allowing them to strike down any policy they feel pertain to "issues of major political or economic significance." (no they didn't define it more than that). Or, if they can't make that argument, they can interpret the law to strike down the policy due to the overturning of Chevron.

We've seen an unprecedented shift of power to the supreme court in the last few years. They're using the disfunction in the legislature as an opening to gain power. Which is scary considering it's a group of 9 unelected people with lifetime appointments.

I don't think GP is saying anything to the contrary, just that you can find 'pilot error' because however unreasonable that is what is expected.

Looking at the history of the one counter currently showing elevated levels (northjerseymike), it looks like the current value is well within variance of historical levels. I jumped back 10, 50, and 100 pages and without plotting, it didn't seem anything is notable about more recent data.

Also... why wouldn't the feds just say they're inspecting infrastructure and avoid the entire question...?

IMO this is almost certainly a commercial LIDAR mapping effort plus right wing conspiratorial hysteria.

The same applies to image generation. Asking AI to create something based on a rough idea is straightforward and can yield amazing results at times. However, fine-tuning the details of an image is incredibly challenging without manual intervention—especially for aspects that are intuitive to humans but lack sufficient representation in the AI's training data.

Honestly, I'd say even text generation, whether it's coding or copywriting—arguably what generative AI excels at—often hits this same limitation.
Unless you want to re-log into and re-enroll every service you ever signed up for when you get a new device (which is when lots of people get rid of their old device, it’s even what device manufacturers recommend, see trade-in prompts when you buy a new phone), you do need to migrate credentials.

Depends on the metric.

F1 is still the winner in sea level thrust per engine (6770 kN vs 2660kN).

Raptor is more efficient (with higher sea level and vacuum specific impulse); it also has a much higher thrust density -- those 2660kN come from a nozzle only 1.3m in diameter, vs the F1's 3.7m diameter.

The higher thrust density and smaller size means that you can fit 33 raptors in a ~9m diameter circle and end up with a stage with double the thrust of the ~10m diameter Saturn V.
I have a feeling that you're right.
