Yeah, when you're working with it the dust can be an issue--most inorganic dusts are very much not good things to be inhaling. But that's an issue for the workers, not an issue for the people at large.
Is there such a thing as the graph of lemmas and theorems in mathematics, somewhere online?

I can't really understand much of mathematics, but I would appreciate seeing the graph of how all major proofs are constructed with help of other proofs.

I've thought about this a lot. Across a all of my hobbies I've seen shrinking markets, decreasing sales, fewer consumers, decreased companies in the space.. and offset by higher prices and longer product cycles.

1) I think it's partially a time thing. You read economists vision of the future back 50-75 years ago and they imagined automation would give us more leisure time.

In practice there's a bifurcation with the K shaped economy where a lot of white collar jobs have become more time demanding (nights/weekends) such that we have a lot more money but even less time. So more than ever before, we try to by shortcuts to time/happiness with money. I find I have a lot of trouble finding long blocks of time to spend uninterrupted on my hobbies.

2) Along with this society has become ever more consumeristic. I note that across my friends and acquaintances, it doesn't strike me that many even.. have hobbies. Hobbies are almost an oddity now.

1&2 conflate to make for a lot of hobbyist GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) such that people spend more time reading/watching reviews/shopping/trading gear than they do actually doing their hobbies. Its a lot easier to spend 30min during my lunch break shopping for some accessories than it is to get away from my desk and actually do my hobby.
Dunno about US but globally this is really a "it depends" answer. In developed countries, there are plenty of former factories and power plants with strong HV power line connections. Long term, with the electrification of everything, locations in close location to HV lines become prime estate.
The OP offers a hypothesis: Billboard changed its ratings method significantly, and many formerly 'popular' artists weren't.
good question. I don't think I have a definitive answer but I'll try:

- pure luck. sometimes I discover a channel/creator/blog by pure accident, I'm an avid rss reader and HN adept so content comes to me naturally, so to speak.

- following a feed (be it a website's rss feed, reddit/YouTube) sometimes made me discover related feeds, simply because someone wrote about a cool project a peer made and links their YouTube/github/blog

I want to say either woodworking or recreational drug use, but I don't know enough about either to be sure.

Surfing and warehouse lofts both depend on access to specific chunks of land that are in high demand. The thought of "bumming it" on a beach is hilarious to me. Beaches are all owned by rich folks.

Actually, considering how fucked up the US housing market is, most people can't get into woodworking because they live in little apartments with no garages... you'd have to belong to a makerspace or something. Ironically I once belonged to a makerspace in a warehouse-turned-bohemian-arts building
I view Discovery as a social problem where the content you want is almost always clustered between a relatively small number of creators, regions, etc.

Technically it then becomes less of an indexing everything problem and more of a find a few cornerstone creators, say Khan academy, and occasionally branching out.

So to answer your question I don’t thing the cost/benefit for automating discovery is much better then spending 20 minutes and finding enough cornerstones to fill you for 100+ hours of content. Or similarly finding a social group like an rss feed, say in ios development it would be fatbobman, and sourcing it from there.

Time to source content isn’t the bottleneck worthy of software solutions, yet for monetization reasons discovery is the vice grip of social media and made to be the most important thing.
Stuff like this brings tears to my eyes. Not so much the mouse subject matter, but how the values brought by this show are now in short supply, and it saddens me to think Rogers' efforts are becoming obsolete to modern people.

A few examples I noticed, but not all in this episode are: Promoting high self-esteem, expressing a love of life, advocating for using your imagination, addressing people with respect, settling for something if it isn't perfect, and belief in the good in humanity.

It's such calorie-dense goodness, and he keeps it consistent and almost candid, even on long camera shots.

Sounds good. Everyone loves negotiations when they get what they want. Do you think those negotiations will result in China and Russia ceasing their attempts to seize territory from our allies? If not then we might have to take other measures. Regardless of which side is right or wrong, we seem to be on a long-term collision course for fundamental geopolitical reasons that will extend beyond the current US presidential administration.

I looked into this as well since I find the YouTube algorithm terrible, but couldn’t find any API for exploration. Which makes sense they want to control what you watch and hence monetize. In a perfect world you could just pick an open source recommendation algorithm from a marketplace and YouTube would just be a wrapper around s3 buckets and some index.
99.9% of companies also aren't going to feel the performance difference of synchronous replication.

That being said, the setups I typically see don't even go that far. Most companies don't mitigate for the database going down in the first place. If the db goes down they just eat the downtime and fix it.
Just because we struggle to verbalize something, doesn't mean that it cannot be verbalized. The taste of a specific dish can be broken down into its components. The basic tastes: how sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory it is. The smell of it: there are are apparently ~400 olfactory receptor types in the nose. So you could describe how strongly each of them is activated. Thermoception, the temperature of the food itself, but also fake temperature sensation produced by capsaicin and menthol. The mechanoceptors play a part, detecting both the shape of the food as well as the texture of it. The texture also contributes to a sound sensation as we hear the cracks and pops when we chew. And that is just the static part of it. Food is actually an interactive experience, where all those impressions change over time and varies over time as the food is chewed.

It is highly complex, but it can all be described.
And how, pray tell, is the money being siphoned off to the evil colonial empires?

The API looks nice on the surface, but this will be expensive to operate due to Ruby and Rails’ lack of support for concurrency. Everything is blocking, which is not a great match for the async nature of interacting with these models.
So in terms of SW development would that mean we have slips saying "Only 5 Tasks left, come up with new ones"?

> The reputation of government jobs being very stable attracts such people and they then form the majority and things stagnates and nothing improves because there is no will.

This is substantiated entirely by feels. Do you actually know any government workers?
The spike in one-hit-wonders during the 90s wasn't surprising to me. I had the unenviable position of working as a line cook and construction worker during the 90s and listened to the radio 6+ hours a day. It's actually fun to listen to those hits these days. There are so many songs that I've forgotten about that I would listen to over and over again before they were overtaken by a new hit. Superman, burning beds, seether (whatever that was), bands named after boxes and chairs, ten different Eddie Vedders with arms wide open...listening to them now brings back a lot of memories so it's hard to hate them today as much as I did then. I remember exactly where I was (sitting in the parking lot of a Shoney's in Charlottesville, VA) when I first heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. Typical FM radio before that was hair metal and classic rock.

My favorite, though, was Seven Mary Three. I saw them in Virginia Beach in a bar with no air conditioning, it was miserable but they had some seriously catchy tunes. Less then a year later I was painting a high school in Orlando and the song Cumbersome came on the radio with the announcer stating "can you believe these guys are unsigned???". Not too long after they were all over MTV. Second place goes to seeing No Doubt open for a forgotten band in '91. They were incredible. When I heard I'm Just a Girl for the first time on the radio I knew who it was before being told.
This is awesome and it's one of the countermeasures that the book Chokepoint Capitalism proposed against enshittification.

Imagine seeing Twitch, Nebula, Youtube, etc all in one aggregator app, then the switching cost of leaving one platform to another goes way down. If a content creator wanted to move from one platform to another to get a better deal, the users would hardly notice.

Unfortunately I think DRM + DMCA makes this illegal, e.g. removing DRM from a Netflix stream to use a third-party app is illegal even if there is no copyright infringement. This needs to be fixed.
You cannot decide galaxy rotation by looking at it. Consider this gallaxy:

_______
\ _ B\
/ /_\ \
\ \_/ \
\A____ /
\/

Is A side closer to us, or is B side closer to us? You can't tell by just looking at it, if the B is closer that we are seeing bottom of the galaxy and it rotates CW. If A is closer than we are seing top of the gallaxy and it rotates CCW.

My memory is definitely fuzzy, but I remember Netscape Navigator 4 wasting years on a scratch rewrite, and Internet Explorer becoming complacent.

Why would it be a problem for an open source browser engine to become dominant? At what point should we be worried if Linux becomes too popular?
The problem is not necessarily day/night but summer with solar+and possible wind and winter with less solar and possible no wind.

So you need to store energy for more than a few hours or generate it from something else.

You then have the choice to use batteries(costly for megwatts as of now), things like hydrostorage, fossil fuels(gas/coal/oil) or hydrogen generated from renewable sources.

If you need big energy storages anyway, it makes more sense that communities pool their money together and invest in something like hydrostorage, but then you need a grid to connect the communities and if you do that, you might as well connect everything in the country so the grid is better at balancing.

Google being forced to sell would cost them billions of dollars. It makes sense that Google would spend at least tens of millions of dollars trying to convince the public at large that this is bad. I don't know the author but he's presumably a multi-millionaire and a bit entrenched in this space and has at least some connection with Google given his startup/company has partnered with them in the past. I'm not saying Chris is being dishonest, but he's probably not very unbiased in this. Combined with the many flaws in this writing, it doesn't seem very credible.
I think this kind of change is maybe more common than we think. I mean, when Nirvana showed up and was juxtaposed next to the hair metal kind of vibe of the day you had the same weird juxtaposition. Or think how weird that 90s vibe of movies like the Goonies or Raiders of the Lost Ark feels compared to Marvel (so much so that Stranger Things was able to feel nostalgic).

I think of it like fashion. Outfits get slim/tight then the next generation comes and fits get roomy/baggy, then then next generation comes and they'll get slim/tight. There is a swaying back and forth from formal to relaxed, even in politics. Like a Boris Johnson in the UK.

I think it can just feel like "the big change" when our own generational cohort makes the break. And baby boomers have been dominating the conversation for so long, that the particular change that happened in the 60s is banged on about so much. In fact, in the article the author themselves tries to downplay the change that happened in the 90s as a change in how billboard ranked artists. I think that is actually partially just a desire to see the 60s as exceptional or legendary in a way that plays into boomer nostalgia.
How do we define the difference?

Like technological and social disruptions, I think usually the difference is that the new thing has a different agenda than the old - different goals. As a result, the old can't make sense of it - by their goals the new thing is obviously worthless. To the market-dominating Blackberry phone maker, obviously their phone was far superior for email, so why would someone in business buy an iPhone?

My working theory is that the new thing 60s rock'n'roll aimed for was personal expression. Vaudeville acts weren't expressing things about themselves (very much - it's always a matter of degree). There was no 'Let It Be' moment, or expressions of aggression or deeply felt love. Vaudeville and a lot of the pre-Beatles pop music was (very generally) entertainment, not so much art. Look at jazz too, going from Ellington to Coltrane. Look at the rise of folk music. 50's crooners mocked the singing voices of rockers because that was their goal - an aesthetically beautiful voice; they perhaps didn't see the point of rockers was personal expression.

Again, that's speaking very generally. There were many beautiful voices post-Beatles, and there was self-expression before them, and the dividing line isn't perfect.

Now it seems to me that we are leaving behind personal expression. If true, I think partly it's an outcome of culture wars: it's associated with liberalism, so many reject it; and real personal expression can be uncomfortable and non-conformist, and that's divisive and provocative to many. But I am building speculation on speculation.

If you read the paper, they explicitly define "productivity" as real sales per employee. Your point about service versus food would be valid except that, apparently, they weren't being paid well for the service, because real sales went up per employee as a function of reduced dwell time. That means that service was a low productivity offering.

That you can explain the increase in productivity by shift in mix from low-productivity to high-productivity products is, in fact, the entire point of the paper, and does not mean that a "surge in productivity" did not happen.

The authors point out that a change in consumer demand preferences is in fact a type of "technology" in that it can be a driver of sector productivity. Not all technology lives on circuit boards!
In film, I think Breathless by Godard may be seen as a dividing line, though of course it's never that simple.

The milk example looks very stupid in my opinion.

Something more efficient would be something like this:

- there is a closet in the kitchen with extra supplies: milk, sugar, ...

- Kasia goes in the kitchen once per week to do the inventory of remaining supplies. If items <= 1, then she order new extra items for each low in quantity supplies...
I have a big gripe with this article, there's an apples-to-oranges that is completely invalid. Harry Daghlian, died from an acute exposure to 5.9Sv. Albert Stevens received a slow dose of 64Sv and doesn't seem to have died from it. (To those who object to it being different forms of radiation: the Sievert is already scaled to human response.)

The problem is there are two separate threats. An acute exposure has an LD50 of 4Sv. By the LNT theory the chronic exposure LD50 is 100Sv. Entirely separate mechanisms, just because both are due to radiation doesn't mean they should be compared. (Simple test: what's your chance of surviving an hour in 1000F? None, of course. Should we conclude that you have no chance of surviving 100F for 10 hours??)

(I do have a gripe with the LNT theory, though--a straight line is the simplest curve to fit but the data is very sparse and has no data points anywhere near the zero. A parabola is at least as good a fit and probably a better fit if you include the no-data cases--studies of populations that were exposed but no excess mortality is seen.)
It’s a rather old project (2009), so many articles covering it are defunct. Found some of the info:
“The purpose of the Prince Edward Island (PEI) Wind-Hydrogen Village is to use excess wind energy along with hydrogen technologies to offer sustainable energy. Excess electricity produced by wind turbines on the island is being used to power a 300kW uni-polar electrolyzer.

A uni-polar electrolyzer uses alkaline liquids, rather than solid polymer, as its electrolyte. The electrolyzer can produce about 6kg of hydrogen per hour. The hydrogen is then stored as compressed gas in storage tanks that have a total capacity of about 500kg. The hydrogen is then used in the bi-fuel hydrogen/diesel genset to power the village when there is no wind.”

It’s an important question. I think of a saying I once heard about picking a SWE job: “back in the day, if you went to finance you were evil and if you went to big tech you were good. Now, you are evil no matter where you go.”

Previously, one could argue that choosing to give your labor to an industry with superior values and alignment of incentives over another would provide the most good as that industry will naturally assert and perpetuate its values and personal interest throughout society and government. However, it’s unclear what industry has superior values and best alignment of incentives with society.
In the office I worked it was never an issue that we were out of milk. It was that people brought in their own milk cartoons and put them in the fridge, so others could have milk too. Nice. Thanks to whoever brought it!

But then nobody removed that cartoon from fridge so it started to stink, and remained in the fridge still. Then no-one in particual was eager to tackle the bad smell, it definitely was not their job.
sounds like telegram app to me. yes, there are also channels and groups, but you have "friended" them, so, it was your choice. however, in general it is still to "get notifications and updated from those who you friended".
I've noticed this just as a casual user of WhatsApp, when pasting links into a conversation. I'm not sure what triggers it either, but I can say that it sometimes works for (e.g.) one tweet and not another.
Not at all. I am fully aware of the terrible, genocidal crimes that the US government (or private US citizens under government protection) committed against indigenous populations. And I make no excuses for those. But if you look at the numbers, Europeans caused a lot more total deaths in the Americas.
> The parameters of a function are passed on the stack and the return values are returned immediately after on the stack. That's why naming your return values is just like naming your parameters - they are both local stack based variables.

Why should the user of a language need to know anything about how values are passed to/returned from a function? Passing them on the stack, in registers, on the heap are definitely in the 'implementation detail' camp.

And named return values seems to me to be just bookkeeping and (admittedly a good form of) user convenience.

That being said, I do like the way python does it with tuples and automagic tuple unpacking. Even the C-API makes it super easy to do multiple return values.
There isn’t. Your software is incorrectly flagging it. Please don’t make accusations without proper vetting.

The whole restaurant experience forced me to get more into cooking for myself because the value is just not there.

Low and behold it is actually fun to cook. It is actually more fun to be able to make a new dish yourself than to try a new restaurant. It is amusing how everything DIY is cool in hacker culture besides cooking. For no reason besides custom, people pretend they just don't have time to cook or that learning to cook isn't worth it. It is an obviously thoughtless idea.
