The child tax credit starts tapering off if your adjusted gross income is more than $200k single ($400k joint). If Bezos is reporting less than that due to other deductions then that’s truly impressive.

The answer was almost certainly generated by an LLM.

Also, amusingly, France is most definitively in Western Europe, so I’m a bit confused about GP’s link between Eastern Europe and “go look up this French word”.

Yes I understand bioavailability etc. My point is that it’s nothing to do with how processed something is.

People who complain about “processed foods” generally have a basic misunderstanding of chemical/biochemical processes and energy gradients or activation energies.

Ultimately, everything is highly processed or we’d be eating rocks. The magnificent manufacturing line in animal or even plant cells is one of the most processed things at the finest molecular level that we know!

Scientists have never really had that much influence. See: high priests, religion, politics, &c.

I think the elements of the base need to be enumerable (proof needed but it feels natural), and transcendental numbers are not enumerable (proof also needed).

Most of the Amazon delivery trucks I see are big trucks with Ryder on the side or electric cargo bikes with Prime on the side.

This is in Manhattan mostly below 60th St. though, that might be the difference?

He started writing his stories long before he was a Professor. It was while he was a young man fighting in the First World War.

Reading direct LLM output is highly cringeworthy.

I use rsync.net in zfs send/receive mode, I push only encrypted snapshots and incrementals, the key has never left my local device (well I have a paper copy in a remote place).

This comment reads as if it were LLM-generated.

> BTW, I know just enough about relativity

Unfortunately this is one of those things where that knowledge is not enough.

The GR model of spacetime is that it is locally Minkowski but globally a manifold of Minkowski patches.

Wow. One of the links is titled "Clarifying the Hierarchy of Information-Derived Gravitational Tensors in Consciousness Field Theory". The References section has 4 entries, all written by the author of this blog.

Not sure if this was the intended joke, but that’s how we are already travelling the universe.

It was a very pretentious thing to say.

Either mention the company

Or don’t mention the status of the company at all.

Leaving readers wondering or hanging is eyeroll-inducing.

I was under the vague impression that there is a single moment when the gravitational force in the core of the proto solar system outweighs (ha!) the electromagnetic repulsion of deuterium/tritium nuclei and fusion is achieved.

The resulting radiation pressure clears out the debris from the solar system’s accretion disk, and this process surely is not instantaneous but is relatively fast.

You _can_ create a human. Or at least participate in its creation.

A SIGSEGV is not guaranteed when calling an address that does not have a function.

Not OP, but these look like Excalidraw.

Because of aligned reads any pointer size between 32-bit and 64-bit would end up using 64-bits anyway.

Indeed. Fermions are usually taught in particle physics, especially when distinguishing Weyl/Majorana/Dirac fermions.

> How long do you have to work in physics until you grok things like this?

By the end of an undergraduate degree, especially if you elect courses in advanced particle physics.

I imagine the two events are correlated.

That’s all totally fair.

I actually never care about the vote count but have been on this site long enough to recognise the names worth paying attention to.

Also the higher contrast items are the click/tap targets.

The HN UI could do with some improvements, especially on mobile devices. The low contrast and small tap areas for common operations make it less than ideal, as well as the lack of dark mode.

I wrote my take on an ideal UI (purely clientside, against the free HN firebase API, in Elm): https://seville.protostome.com/.
