Zuck has been the one pushing for this Metaverse stupidity from the beginning. Good thing he has controlling interest. This guy was more on the tech side, but the fundamental problems with Zuckerberg's vision are not technical. This re

Not even doing a great job of that now that so many subcontractors quietly source from China.

IIRC there was a study that looked at the proportion of Github issues labeled as bugs, by language. Clojure came in with the lowest proportion. I overall prefer static typing, depending on what I'm doing, but I think avoiding ubiquit

Then you'd run into a lot more false positives, which ought to make LSH a non-starter for this application.

> Than Rhodes scholars? Than Stanford’s incubator? Than the MIT media lab? Yes. You're essentially talking about academic organizations there, with diffuse industry involvement. That's a world away from direct access to a tech

Thanks, I'll check that out.

How? It takes a tremendous amount of lead to cause acute lead poisoning. That's not something that normally would occur from contamination or even intentional adulteration (like is done with tumeric).

I was mainly interested in working with Nx and friends, which look pretty nice. Good to hear about your experience with that. The ElixirLS server always crashed for me on init. The problem is assuredly on my end, but I was never able to fix

I tried out Elixir a couple months back, but had no end of problems getting the tooling set up in VSCode.

Given the demographic overlap with Funko Pops, I'd tend to think so.

Great to see stuff like this! Data in general, and not just code, gets updated or corrected constantly. Given that data is used collaboratively in a distributed setting, it should be a first-class citizen wrt diffing and merging, just as li

The military-industrial complex just being a sclerotic mass of grift certainly has helped narrow this gap.

An actual realistic scene in Pompeii would feature a lot more horse shit all over the streets. Of course, the idealized images are what saturate media, so even specifying "true to life" in the prompt won't change that.

I'm not familiar with the latest research, but the WAIS has long been recognized as the biggest potential contributor to severe sea-level rise due to the marine ice-sheet instability, which it is uniquely vulnerable to. Ice sheets are

There shouldn't be any effect. Solar storms cause low-frequency fluctuations that can induce significant currents in very long conductors (like hundreds to thousands of kilometers). It's a very big deal for large-scale electrical

The power output of dams like these is negligible. The Grand Coulee Dam they are not. Besides, they were reaching EOL. It would be homicidally negligent to leave such aging dams in a very earthquake-prone area.

Solving a set of analogous problems and then refining from those doesn't sound all that different from the general idea of adding another layer.

I can't imagine spending 6 months underwater isn't harmful, but there's another potential harm associated with ballistic missile subs that I'm more concerned about.

The Mittani were pretty fascinating in general. The extant writing (including Kikkuli) have many Indo-Aryan loanwords almost identical to the more-or-less contemporaneous Sanskrit [0]. They also seemed to have worshiped many of the same dei

Articles breathlessly getting excited about anecdotal cases are a good way of doing just that. (It's good this article is on HN, but I don't like this reporting)
