My understanding is that, as you say, Physics PhDs tend to have pretty decent paths into computing or math stuff. It's hard to be a physicist these days without being able to write some code in at least a scripting language, so fields

Most of the people with PhDs in that age group I know are married and often talk excitedly about what activities they recently did with their kids. Many are married to other people with PhDs, and their kids also seem to intend to go for PhD

I imagine it's a mix of all that. I'm only in my late 20s. I remember in my early teens, when internet access was still mostly something done at a desk and giving children a cellphone with service was not as common, I had a large

This feels like less of a case of 'American loneliness' and more a case of the author idolizing being in her 20s and projecting the same standards onto her 30s, when people typically have many more responsibilities. Of course peop

It helps that since English is the lingua franca, people tend to be kind of used to interacting with those who don't speak it perfectly. Plus even those who don't functionally speak it likely know enough words to convey things in

No, I'm saying that their excuse that they're keeping things private because of safety is a farce and they should be honest and admit that they're keeping things private because they've abandoned the original mission beh

What about the current safety/control attitude prevents that? The current approach, where OpenAI keeps everything private in the name of safety only makes the safety situation worse because we'll only find out things like that are

I see 4 accounts making direct death threats, all 4 are green. You're choosing to intentionally assume the worst case about them being people's alts. The most dangerous thing here is your desire to prop up the narrative that a mea

There were a couple of green accounts spamming comments like that, taking them seriously as part of the normal HN community is disingenuous, as this sort of incident is bound to attract trolls looking to stir the pot.

Based on: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented?tab=re... Looks like we're misunderstanding vouches, I guess when we recall seeing a flagged article with a vouch option, it was because it was both

Kind of like with the Israel-Gaza conflict flare up, we'll probably get a containment thread sometime this week when discussion might be more civil and when the initial fog of information has cleared up.

Sometimes you are able to vouch for articles, I think it depends on if it's flagged naturally or if it's flagged by an admin. I should add though that it being flagged by admins is less about political bias and more about the topi

It's interesting that they avoid saying shot, while describing the consequences of being shot near the ear. Are they thinking he might've scratched the ear when his security jumped on him? It might just be a bias from me, but it f

What does "the account belonged to the actual person" mean if they're a literal nobody? If a literal nobody happens to have my same name and know someone on the inside to verify them, does that mean they're the real me a

X does have an optional government ID verification once you subscribe to premium, which adds an additional 'verified' indication and is necessary for additional features like revenue sharing and enabling subscriptions. Admittedly,

The argument about blue ticks being deceptive seems dumb as a reason for a fine, they had always been a popularity/insider contacts game, now they're available to anyone willing to tie their account to a credit card. Nothing about

Ah I see, I had heard about people filling motors themselves and figured that was normal with hobby motors. That certainly makes it much easier for teens to get into it.

Supersonic has also been dead because passenger supersonic flight is banned over the continental US (and probably similar restrictions exist in Europe). In the US the regulations will be getting reviewed depending on the results of studies

Since this topic often leads up to discussion about Starlink debris, and since one of the authors on this piece has a well known bias against SpaceX in particular, it should be emphasized that this a Dragon specific issue, several dozen Sta

The popular theory on why they've survived the trip down even though that doesn't fit the modeling from NASA and SpaceX is that their terminal velocity is very low.

Going off the challenge that doing that for imaging the black holes was, I figure the limiter is the amount of data generated and the amount of processing needed to put it all together.

The biggest factor is probably having sufficiently supportive parents. Especially on dealing with potential safety hazards like the fuel. At that age my parents didn't even trust me to use a soldering iron without guidance (it wasn&#x2

Versus the very same thing in regulatory agencies? Are we seriously acting like there isn't a constant revolving door between law enforcement, major regulatory agencies and the companies they interact with?

This is, after all, the same forum that predicted the imminent offline-ing of Twitter within a week of the layoffs ~2 years ago, and before that, the lack of federal net neutrality was supposed to be the end of decent internet access.

We're still here because you seem to continue to misunderstand (assuming you're posting in good faith). "There's nothing you can say to convince me because you likely have nothing to say that is backed up by facts"

Yeah I guess acknowledging well documented reality and keeping things in perspective makes me a Musk-apologist and cultist. Which echo chambers and lies would you recommend I consume to correct this?

Yeah I'm not arguing against this acquisition, just commenting on how things have been so far. At this point I'm kind of apathetic, it's good if whatever they do eventually leads them to fixing their software woes, and I&#x27
