Creationism is effectively identical to the simulation hypothesis. It's odd that people here will accept the latter while immediately dismissing the former.

Not really. Races don't exist biologically. There are certainly traits within populations but that's a bit like my cousins tend to be fatter than my family. It's not something that can be accurately targeted.

The second reference link had Ge rather than Gr in the abstract. These seem a tiny number of typos. How many papers have the correct formula?

The spec says "There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific data files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_DATA_HOME" Where are you seeing "read-only"? And wh

I certainly hope the people at SpaceX don't do that because it's not cool to neglect your family and friends no matter how cool your job is. I appreciate their work however and it's a shame that Musk has tainted their efforts

When I go outside on a cloudy day I can still see clearly because there's still electromagnetic radiation from the Sun reaching the Earth.

If people really cared about coal miners then they could be offered a $1 million redundancy package. It would amount to a tiny fraction of government spending and I'm pretty sure it would be welcomed.

As JumpCrisscross said, they really are. Look at solar deployments across the planet. They do need planning permission of course and that's where they can be blocked.

Exactly right. HN is generally right-wing but I think it aspires to be more intelligent right-wing than dumb. Think more Bloomberg News than Fox News (or, for UK folk, more FT than DM).

It doesn't. Solar is ridiculously cheap and requires no subsidy at all to be profitable. If this is happening (which frankly I doubt) it's just corruption.

If the Sun is 100% offline then we're all dead anyway. Generally we can rely on there being a day though. Can even predict sunrise and sunset.

Outrageous government overreach. Why can't you just choose the corporation to pay the weregild? It would be far more efficient!

I vibe like there is a real point trying to escape this article but it sounds like a long form LinkedIn post. Ask ChatGPT to fix it. ps. On a side note, I love that vibe has come back as a word. Feels like the 60s.

Schools are not strictly run by the government either. Learn how schools work before commenting. A fair number of my family are teachers so check your facts before trying your lazy assertions.

Is Gitea still a thing now Forgejo is around? I'm not sure what advantages Gitea has.

I don't believe you because I live in the UK and the idea that people don't celebrate Christmas is beyond moronic. The shops start doing Christmas stuff the day after Halloween. It's unending Christmas songs for two months. T

Yes, the problem really stems from the fact that git "understands" text files but not really anything other than that, so it can't really make a good diff between say a jpeg and its updated version, so it simply relies on com

I don't think there is a mechanism to do that. I think that puts all AI models in breach of the GDPR by default. I might be wrong but if I'm not that's a serious problem for AI companies.

LLMs aren't monolingual so you might want to expand that beyond English. Consider how multilingual people think. Also, apparently it's pretty common for people to think in words and have an internal monologue. I hadn't realiz

That's a difficult case where you might want to collect your good context and shift it to a different session. It would be nice if the UI made that easy to do.

I think it's key to not give it contradictory instructions, which is an easy mistake to make if you forget where you started. As an example, I know of an instance where the LLM claimed it had tried a test on its laptop. This obviously

I'm not aware of any photograph of this sort that would fool an astronomer. The times and dates wouldn't work if it was faked.
