> Basketball is pretty much worldwide

Is it played worldwide? Sure, but so is volleyball. It's certainly not a culturally significant sport everywhere. I think my country has a basketball league, but I don't know literally anything about it. The only player I can recall the name of is Michael Jordan.

> is tennis (and golf, up to a point at least)

Both are sports for rich (countries) only. How many tennis players you know are from Africa?

> Cricket is played in a minority of countries, but those countries are scattered across the world so it's not exactly "regional".

You can think of the Commonwealth as a "logical region". Cricket is popular only in a couple of countries with common history.
So Microsoft believes it can only sell its AI application through a significant dark pattern. That isn't very convincing advertising for copilot at all.
Nice. Reminds me strongly of levitated.net (sadly broken due to no Flash) and complexification.net (sadly broken due to no Java).

Geeking out over Jared Tarbell over dial up basically got me into computers in the first place.
You're not obligated to do anything, most of all, post.
Yes, you are right. Do you have any suggestions on how I should do the benchmarking? I am not sure how this is usually done, but if the output is some kind of graph, I would also like to know how these graphs are usually produced.
Are you really married to those languages? Its not much of a jump to go to similar, but more popular languages. Like Ruby -> Python or C# -> Java/Kotlin.
When I was designing boards, we had 1-2 standard types of connector we were allowed use, that had an even number of pins. So we would use a different number of pins for each connector on the board, even if some of the pins were not used. It looked kind of silly to see 4 wires in a 12 pin connector but it was better then getting them mixed up.
Not undergraduates. The "student union" in this context is 100% a social entity.

Graduate students sometimes are part of unions, but usually only if they're also employed by the university (somebody paying full tuition for an MBA probably isn't in a union, but a doctoral student teaching or doing research might be).

Undergrads doing part-time work at the university to pay bills (dining hall, bookstore, etc) could be, in theory, but probably aren't.
Effects of Microplastic Exposure on Human Health
Another anecdote, I don’t mind. I’m happy to let the rest of the world beta test AI, I’ll wait and enjoy more transparency (and perhaps a more polished experience).

Then again I’m not a pro AI user and I was never in a situation when I wanted to use an AI product and it wasn’t available.
If you have sleep issues try magnesium.

> is to re-include our source file

Yeah - that means your source file is never a module.
We would really like eve to be modularized, the CI times are unbearable.

I'd love to be proven wrong here, that'd be amazing. But I don't think google highway can be modularized.
These SBCs like Radxa ROCK 5 have HDMI in and out, and a good amount of processing power. If it weren't for HDCP, we might see some OSS solutions in the next couple of years.
> Some researchers have challenged parts of this picture, however; a 2024 study, for example, suggested waste clearance is actually faster during waking than during sleep.

That’s a pretty big ambiguity in the story!
Exactly. The world is too grey to wear boring colours.
A little over a year ago I was having awful sleep hygiene. From time to time, I still wake up at ~2am and just can't find restfulness again.

I picked up a simple smart watch that tracks sleep (one of the Garmins, as they are one of the few that protect privacy and don't need to connect to the Internet). I slowly and methodically improved my sleep, and I feel like a different person.

I have noticed that if I turn my blue light filter on my screens off, that has a huge impact. Working long days has a huge impact. I take a hell of a lot of magnesium. I need ~20 minutes of outdoor walking a day and I need to eat dinner before 4pm. Lots of other small things that have an impact that I'm probably forgetting.

How many of us are just chronically tired?
Right, the problem is we have been voting, donating, and protesting since occupy. I need things to change within the time that I am alive. If anything things have regressed, and some really strong feelings (I know this is strange to the beep boops of HN! It's so irrational!) are being expressed right now because people are at their end.

Irrational is tens of thousands / hundreds of thousands over time of Americans losing the game over health issues. What I am getting at here, is if the model is to "let the unproductive ones die" then say so, and we can accelerate getting rid of insurance.

If you're a turbo capitalist, then the real issue is price discovery, insurance companies create false price signal due to the variance in payouts and hospitals mask their pricing. We can blame both sides maybe, but it is clear insurance has some explaining to do before we completely eliminate them. They do not need a third boat. I need to keep my house.

I will also anecdotally mention that NO ONE that I know is against Luigi. Not even once has someone said "well that guy had a wife and kids". It's not personal, it's not about him. In their view, it is a wakeup call because no amount of protesting, voting, and donating has gotten progress in the direction they want in their life time. Not even a sliver of a debate among about 5 different friend groups, 4 of which are not in tech.
You're aware that C++ and C are also stack allocating by default? Unless you mean something different than what I understand.
It's up to department heads and dean and they're pressured by ABET and companies that write them checks.

Education is secondary; this is job training! We need to crank out people ready to drop into Boeing's way of doing things!
Who cares, you are not going to use that power anyway.
Yes.

I applied 4-5 days/week for 16 months and finally got a fully remote job, with a salary commensurate with what I had before.

The job I applied for was alive for less than 24 hours. They got 1,000 resumes. I just happened to be first and early.

I applied and interviewed at FAANG too.. they said they got 1,000+ resumes on day one alone, and they were screening 20 candidates for the one role.

If you've sent 500 resumes.. that's not enough / "a lot" nowadays.
Only if the median person cares about it past a certain theshold…
You absolutely can host your own mail server. Or use one of your IT partner of choice. Out business still has an exchange. Today you have to jump through some hurdles with SPIF/DKIM, but it is still very possible.
Do we have issues with wait times, yes. However, the guy above you broke his arm and had to pay $5,000 AFTER insurance covered their portion.
This is a very slippery slope towards making a full blown 3d three.js octree based n-body gravity simulation, at least for me :)
Yeah, what kind of "algorithm" makes your upvotes not work? Dang also went through and downvoted every comment I have to oblivion. I had 30+ karma points, now down to zero. This site is absolute trash.
Thank you, he has articulated some outcomes and signs I hadn't yet.

His thesis that AI is just distilled omega-capitalism is true, very plainly.
This is a problem but it's not really related to the issue of the harsh reaction of college administrations to exposing problems, the examples mentioned in this thread and in the original article are all capital A Administration responses, a group completely separate from the professors. Some professors are involved in admin work but the vast majority of admin work is done by employees who neither teach nor research.
Ask HN: How do I adapt to AI?
Seniors in software, I seek your advice. I'm a self-taught fullstack (moved from frontend), working in web-development with just 1 year of experience, landed my second job recently.

Been reading a lot about AI changing landscape of job market, one point of view I noticed is that some fields of software engineering will be replaced. Like frontend/backend and people should move into AI field or hardware.

I'm confused how do I exactly adapt to AI besides just using it for my work? Should I consider moving from web to another niche, even though I like web?
This is my belief (heh) as well, in no small part from the staggering number of Bay Area “woke” types that turn to Islam, which holds quite the set of conflicting views on the progressive-conservative axis.
> Is "acquired" a euphemism for stolen here?

Given what and where they were from it almost certainly means donated or sold to the museum by the archeologists who excavated them in the first place.
Better yet. As the UK special forces say

" When lost in the jungle, stop, and make yourself a tea "

This applies when someone is telling you that you are in the process of being scammed.
Have you hear about customs?
Agree with you but you're paying for the potential of a sudden burst in traffic planned or unplanned. Going to maintain 5000 servers when you may only use them for some intense period a few hours of a single day during a month. Thats the canonical serverless pitch. I'd hate to develop a new pipeline using serverless as my dev environment.
Why the space community should care about Arctic geopolitics
The Great Giana Sisters was a legitimate game though—while the gameplay was obviously almost identical to Super Mario Bros, code wise it was technically very advanced as far as C64 games went. The way you phrased it seems like it was a bootleg version of the NES game.

But Nintendo was just as litigious back then, so the game didn't last long.
I don’t understand the like strategy/politics of lying. Sure I never thought they were going to cut 2 trillion dollars from the budget, but why tell the truth about it now?
Valid point.

I would hope that the newsletter ends up just directing you to the company directly, not some other rando user. That would be dangerous.
Somebody is researching Lean (or DevOps?) :) For more interesting paradigms like this one, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Production_System#Commo...
Just to clarify -- we already knew about the washing, right? But this refers to the specific mechanism where the blood vessels contract to cause the washing?

Just wow.
My guess, as someone who doesn’t know the answer but works closely in this field, is that the potential downside (i.e. privacy/security) was much greater than the actualised benefit (i.e. performance).

Safari (who make a big deal about being privacy-conscious) was the first to introduce cache partitioning, looking into it as far back as 2013[1]; Chrome followed in 2020 and Firefox in 2021[3]. One thing I know, anecdotally, to be a strong motivator among browser vendors is ‘X is doing it, why aren’t we?’

I lived and worked through OS/2 1.1-1.3 and OS/2 1.1-Warp. The main reason of failure was that IBM still saw itself as a hardware company. OS/2 was enterprise software to sell PS/2 computers.

It was such a hassle to get it to run well on commodity hardware. It ran great on a $4000 PS/2 model 77, but that won't win market share like Windows 3.0 that ran on pretty much anything with a few megs ram. OS/2 was also memory hungry adding to the barrier to entry. Great OS--at least we have Win NT that kept some good parts.

> IBM's determination to serve its customers with 80286 PS/2s, and keep a promise, resulted in OS/2 being a failure. That is what allowed Windows to gain the upper hand.
I know my fame and legendary repute may lead one to believe otherwise, but I hate drama. I probably hate drama more than anyone else on the planet. We should _just_ focus on the facts when I post. And on the facts, I know for certain that we're always on the same page and in agreement, so long as you're right. And you're normally right.

So let's put the drama behind us.
High-demand classes are bi-modal. The left side of the distribution is the low-level intro and survey courses. I went to a very heavily pre-med undergrad with a total enrollment of about 1,500 where the intro Chemistry course had two 100-150-person survey courses with multiple TAs. Charging more for these is pretty stupid. The answer is to offer more of them if you have the physical space, the professor(s), and the TA(s) to do it, which you don't always have.

The right side is the 5- or 6-person high level classes offered every other year or something. Usually, but not always, these are in demand because professors are not fungible at this level and they're probably taught by a popular or famous professor. I took one of these at my school taught by a former cabinet secretary, just four of us seniors and him talking about politics for 4 hours every week. You can't just offer more of these; if you're teaching one class every other Spring you're unlikely to seriously consider changing that to two Fall and two Spring classes every year.
The insanity, authoritarian impulse and incompetence of American University admins is very easy to believe for anyone who has interacted with them.
There’s a huge platform “ways of working” leap. Not just switching languages.

The ways C# and Java are written, deployed, and tested are vastly different and if you don’t have that experience it’s not trivial to learn.

The market isn’t going to support changes like this anyway. Employers will still want actual experience.
Ranked base on what though? The other issue is registration doesn't always open for everyone all at once. Often you get earlier registration if you're in your final year(s) so you can take more specialized classes or fill in general education gaps that you might have put off.
I've had some periods of "intense work on sleep schedule". A big one was discovering that I was on the higher end of caffeine sensitivity (but I can still sleep if I only drink coffee in the morning).

I have thought that the blue light filter doesn't do so much, with a caveat. The laptop screen is much less bright, so it doesn't bother me. It seems like the blue light of a desk screen has a bigger effect. But I also think it is the brain activity of stimulus seeking on the screen itself that has a big effect on sleep. It's better to turn of screens entirely to wind down, or do something that actually helps you wind down for sleep.
SponsorBlock[1] does a pretty good job of skipping inline adverts and similar stuff on YouTube. It is, however, crowdsourced rather than using machine learning (so far as I am aware).

This is amazing.

I did a similar thing for the game Highfleet, until I ran into roadblocks with the dev team.

My ultimate goal was to have a "print poster" button that would generate the image and ship it off to one of those poster drop-shippers for a small fee. In that game, you can annotate the maps, and the world map with battle annotations is really special with lots of memories of victories and defeats. Alas, no dice.

I suggest you do this for blueprints! The first thing I'm going to do is take my favorite space platforms and outposts and make posters - the colored block imagery is really artful.

And, if you want a real challenge, you could parse the end-game uploads (galaxy) if available, or save files themselves.

Or, slightly less ambitious - a game mod that generates links to this site directly.

Very nicely done!
I'm so thankful my university (UVA) didn't have these registration problems. Granted, I graduated in '99, so they might now. But I never had any difficulty getting into required classes. At worst, an email to the prof got me a waiver, and IIRC, I only had to do that once.

Ask HN: What's with the random Wikipedia links in new
Hi all, occasionally, in my free time, I browse hacker news, specifically, new posts, and quite often I see links to wikipedia articles, something remotely on topic, but often not. Today there's a link to [Third place](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place) and [Dark Matter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter) and I'm always very confused as to what they are doing here, like why are people posting them?
There are no consequences for lying, so you lie to lever up into the authority and power you're seeking. Once you walk it back, there is no impact, at this level you're not getting fired for lying. You're re-calibrating expectations to reality after you've accomplished your goal.

... so, perhaps a fool-hardy idea, but could we use an external device to create or amplify the same effect?

- if you rhythmically give mice norepinephrine while they're awake, can you create the same movement in cerebrospinal fluid? Would mice go to sleep later following such an intervention?

- could you directly just pump cerebrospinal fluid faster? If you were willing to have a mechanical device surgically installed, could you have a rapid, extra-refreshing sleep at the press of a button?

- if the efficacy of washing is partly due to the contents of cerebrospinal fluid, could you look at what's being "washed out" and add stuff to the cerebrospinal fluid that makes those things more soluble?
Communism opposed religions in general.

The leader of the Italian fascists was personally an atheist.

The Nazis opposed particular religions including Christianity - they made multiple attempts to supplant Christianity as the major religion of Europe with neo-paganism and Positive Christianity. They were not keen on a religion founded by a non-violent Jew.
It depends on which dialect of English you're referring to, but either is probably close enough, especially if you speak GA or can imitate it. If you can manage "Yoh keh" as in "moth fret" in General American English it's closer.

Japanese vowels can vary quite a lot, because there aren't nearly as many other vowels to confuse them with as there are in English.

The Japanese "o" vowel is usually close to [ɔ], the General American English CLOTH vowel (from Wikipedia: "cough, broth, cross, long, Boston", or "moth") or THOUGHT in either GA or British Received Pronunciation ("taught, sauce, hawk, jaw, broad") than to GOAT in either dialect ("soap, joke, home, know, so, roll", or "show").

The Japanese "e" vowel is usually close to [ɛ], which is the General American English DRESS vowel (from Wikipedia: "step, neck, edge, shelf, friend, ready", to which we might add "fret") than to [e] or [ej] or [eɪ] or [ei], which is more like the General American English FACE vowel ("tape, cake, raid, veil, steak, day", to which we might add "slay"). RP doesn't have [ɛ] at all; the closest it has is that it realizes SQUARE ("care, fair, pear, where, scarce, vary") as [ɛə].

Other English dialects (AAVE, Irish, Scottish, Cajun, Southern American, Jamaican, Standard Indian, Bangladeshi, Nigerian, Australian) realize these vowels in their own different ways which may or may not correspond well to the Japanese phonemes you're asking about.
Not just random biloilerplate/framework code either. A framework his dad created. So with this logic his dad did the majority of the project.
> I believe that it’s defined as the size of ω₁, the set of wellorderings of the natural numbers. I don’t think there’s any real sense in which that’s less of a concrete set than the power set of the natural numbers, even if it’s harder to picture.

The definition with which I am familiar is that \aleph_1 is the least cardinal that is strictly greater than \aleph_0, but, of course, one can use any of an equivalent collection of properties as the definition.

Nonetheless, at least any definition in line with usual mathematical practice should probably not provably require that \aleph_1 is at least 2^{\aleph_0}, which I claim that your definition does. Let me refer to positive integers, and non-negative integers, to avoid having to commit to what the natural numbers are. I define a function from the power set of the positive integers to the set of total orderings of the non-negative integers as follows. For every power set A, write B for the complement of A in the positive integers, and let <_A be the order that restricts to the usual order on A and on B (though not on their union), and that declares 0 to be greater than every element of A and less than every element of B. Since the usual order on the positive integers is a well order, so is <_A. Clearly, A may be recovered from <_A (as the set of elements preceding 0), so the function is injective.
Mindfulness in TypeScript code branching, or how to if/else
Hey folks, sometimes on PRs, I find that people aren't well-versed in the intricacies of code branching. So, I wrote a short article to educate fellow engineers and point to it sometimes so I don't have to explain things over and over.

Specifically, many people apparently don't know yet about exhaustiveness and the statement/expression dichotomy and how TS type system can help with it.
It was doing it for me yesterday from Europe on the normal bing homepage, but no longer does so.
I was expecting a +/- charge interaction like this as well, but that was just based on my brain's default interpretation of the word particle in the title with this being HN and all. It took a second for my brain to switch to just a visual fx particle system use of the word.

Nonetheless, my default thoughts do not take away from it being a fun visual to zone out to for a bit
Improve your electronics-fu by "guessing that ware"
I’ve followed Bunnie’s blog ever since reading Hacking the Xbox, the ability to “read” circuits fascinates me

I like this monthly comp — it’s a good way to see:
a) what electronics exist
b) what makes them distinctive enough to be identified
Not necessarily. The more damage you do to someone, the higher the potential liability. Smart business people usually know that de-escalating is often the best choice.
Thank you!
I hadn’t thought of that approach. I’ll try!
They do, but they’re still way behind where they need to be.

They also do shaded fire breaks, which make sense.
there is a website on the internet that has this in the banner or background, but i cannot remember what it was.
Your first hardware product is a supply chain
The Republican and Democrat parties are fundamentally coalitions though.

We pretend they represent some sort of Left vs Right split, but really that's a post facto justification or narrative around an arbitrary coalition of sub-factions.

There are a bunch of largely unrelated issues that people care about- immigration, cost of living, abortion, gun rights, crime/policing, foreign policy and various "culture war" issues around race, sexuality, religion.

There is really no reason we group them together as we do. There could be a parallel universe where a liberal "unborn rights movement" grew out of the prior women's rights, black rights, LGBT rights etc and saw abortion as an exploitation of the most vulnerable human rights and said they deserved protection.

There could be a parallel universe where pro-business, pro-market based solution conservatives want completely open borders to allow workers to freely move to work or start businesses where they want.

The parties themselves change over time too. The populist Trump/MAGA faction that has taken over the Republican party has little in common with the "Religious Right" Christian faction or the neo-conservative factions that were influential to the Republicans in the 90s and 2000s.
