I agree 100%. Been using macs for 15 years now, but the windows XP explorer in particular was fundamentally objectively better than finder, and it's nuts they haven't figured it out. One of the things I find most baffling is that

Ultra processed food is about 50-60% of American calories, versus 38% in Japan [1]. Also try visiting a Japanese 7-11, there's tons of fresh-made food options with vegetables and such. Still Japan is developing a weight problem too. 1.

But you have to acknowledge how uneven the playing field is. The AI has read every book that's ever been written, and can spend hours of compute time in a few seconds. I think if a person had those same advantages (e.g. could spend 5 h

Okay I'd love to hear your sales pitch as a theoretical customer. Imagine I'm getting tirzeptide grey-market as a peptide through one of the sites out there for ~$85 a month @ 2.5mg/wk. Suppose I've mentioned it to my do

Well we tried it for alcohol and it didn’t go well, but enforcing the FDA limit on sugar would be a worthy experiment for a state that voted for it.

Well, once a state passes a law we'll have plenty of data to actually conduct a meaningful measurement on the topic. We'll see how things change for these teens once the law goes into effect - do they report being happier? do they

This sounds like a pretty reasonable bill to me. I like the implementation, I think it preserves privacy adequately. I understand that someday (probably someday soon) some actors will try to ask for a worse version of this, one that doesn&#

I think gates is obviously a very high IQ individual with a skill for math and coding. However very very few high IQ individuals with skill for math or coding end up running successful companies, let alone billion dollar companies. I imagin

My proposal, once you complete your study, if you find a significant positive result you should be required (prior to publication) to describe your methodology in full, and have another lab (who you never have any contact with) blindly take

I'd be curious, in the last year, how many front-page articles do you remember? To avoid recency bias, maybe let's ignore the last week. What % of CEOs do you think read HN?

I feel like there's a way to make a policy that is "We update all geographies within America at 4 years, once a rename has had time to make it into the common parlance." But whatever, every such scar he leaves will just be on

I do agree a "I'm watching this but I regretted it" would be a useful button, if the companies respected it. But my default presumption is that the already know this, and don't care, and that baiting engagement / ad

I think the points being made here are mostly good-ish. The last place I worked created a team of principles whose whole goal was to create a system to turn jira tickets into PRs and it was incredibly demotivating and bore no fruit before I

I'm going to second you for a different reason: I guess one thing I don't really get or perhaps don't by about phantasia is that the way our whole visual field works in a big illusion: we can really only see a tiny fraction a

The complexity stuff is all absolutely true. However I think it's aggrandizing what human engineers actually do with remarks like "Engineers own tradeoffs." My experience is that certainly less than half of the employed softw

The title seems to be accidentally confusing, the 17 billion is ALL evaporative. If we want the other 80% (which I don't personally think we care about) 211 billion more.

Don't quote theoretical econ idealism at us when our actual electricity rates are going up 20% or more per year. Increased demand absolutely DOES increase the cost both in theory and practice.

Datacenters have a readily available substitute to water if they just make less profit. I'm not giving up my meat so that datacenters can use it for cooling, if that's what you're suggesting.

by zug_zug 2mo ago
Yeah that's fair. I haven't seen a single article doing that though (from either side) and I honestly think that nobody would even trust these companies at this point (Meta et al) to give an honest analysis anyways.

No I'm saying that water used in mining likely goes back into the ground.
