An example of how this could play out is how easily Google and other big tech cooperate with government requests nowadays (compared to, say, a decade or so ago, when Apple was openly fighting the FBI in court to not be forced to make a tool

Even many HN users instantly resort to misdirection via comparisons to humans or nebulous upcoming AGI instead of acknowledging that we have to live with these limitations for the forseeable future.

Flashy UI, channel grouping, custom emoji, server side persistent logs and now the network effect of most likely not having to ask someone to install and learn the ins and outs of another program. Matrix comes the closest to fitting all the

That's a risk they all take. AMD and NVIDIA (or Intel) have the same thing happen all the time, one of them has to go first, and usually there's not much of a gap between their announcements, and thus each risks being overshadowed

Is ignoring M4's existence really 'wrong' given the fact that it isn't in macbooks yet? Are the benchmarks they mention possible on the iPad? Do the iPads benchmark similarly to the macbooks with the same chip? Does Appl

The issue isn't updates breaking stuff, the issue is forced reboots when I have something open for which I don't just want the OS throwing away the state for. The IT dept. comment is pretty accurate though, just as dismissive, po

He was involved in the investigation committee, but of course wasn't the only one there. IIRC Neil Armstrong was also on the committee. I figure that part of the point of choosing them was to lend the committee credibility with the pub

I think the point is that if we're standardizing a lunar time, it should be done with as much precision as possible. Kind of like how we have very precise benchmarks for what our units of length are in terms of fundamental properties.

This is circular reasoning. You can't convince people to not use it if you don't criticize it, and of course the odds of that succeeding are zero if you don't even try. Also, you literally have to force people to not use goog

They wouldn't have to do that if Windows didn't insist on being forceful with updates even for power users, who can be trusted to decide when to update. Lately it's not as bad since you can delay/disable forced reboots f

Particle physics relating to electrons in particular is probably the most important part of particle physics, considering how much of our modern society is based on increasingly precise control over them.

Imagine hating someone so much you resort to making stuff up. The engineers did not think it would be a disaster, they thought it would erode as it had in previous testing (which would've been fine since the water plate system was alre

Social coaching is just another venue through which scammers do their thing. Eg the Andrew Tate-esque "schools" making men even more dysfunctional in the name of teaching them to be "attractive". It's very easy to t

Why do people have to follow you? I also experienced the "offline first" life and while I miss the wilder, more unsanitized nature of the internet from back then, I much prefer being able to always be connected.

Interesting that they're just going to throw away the hotstaging ring. I guess they don't consider that to be a reusability issue because they might be easy enough to mass produce? Or maybe it's just a temporary change until

They've been firing them on the ground pretty often and didn't catch it, so clearly the filtration issues only happen when actually flying. And, of course, that's still overlooking all the other tests they were able to do. Th

The premise comes off as a bit of a surprise to me. My understanding had always been that physicists have not reached any majority agreement on which of the outcomes was likely, precisely because of the lack of understanding of the exact na

I also prefer this perspective. I had an epiphany about this sort of code when I was trying to describe what my code did for a research paper, and in trying to express why I was proud of it, I called it complex, only for my research advisor

I think the issue is intent. It's fine if two voices happen to be similar. But it becomes a problem if you're explicitly trying to mimic someone's likeness in a way that is not obviously fair use (eg parody). If they reached

But unconditional support for Israel is a rare topic with mostly bipartisan agreement from the leadership class. The disagreement from the public is very likely more correlated with age than with the party someone supports.

Starship carries ~1200t of propellant, of which ~950t is LOX, and 250t is Methane. While yes, most of that will be burned off by landing, it'll still need enough to return to lunar orbit. Even if we assume that only 10% of the fuel is

The center of mass should be pretty low relative to the height of the lander, the engines and propellant are the heaviest parts, the engines are obviously at the bottom. The heaviest component of the propellant is the LOX, which is also at

'Starships keep exploding' is kind of like saying 'tests keep failing' in test-driven development. Yeah, the tests for the stuff you're actively writing or haven't written yet are going to fail until you finish
