peteradio··on Data breach at Kaiser Permanente affects 13.4M people
> I think most people will have their health data likely leaked at some point.

Just don't go to the hospital or in any other way involve your system with the InsuroServo complex. Problem solved!

peteradio··on What I remember about Flint water crisis was how state government lied
Did people routinely resign in protest at Boeing? I guess part of it would have to include shouting from the rooftops which I've only done to the extent of griping to family, (I'm not well off enough to kick my former employers in the nads). Truly astounding requests/denials trickle down from the bean counters, and against all reasoning gets pushed through often to the net negative of all. But we must push on lest we be seen to be the worst of all people backtrackers.

That would be a redline for me, if a critical safety decision gets axed by a bean counter I bounce.
peteradio··on Asian American women are getting lung cancer despite never smoking
Yes, and having installed one myself, its no picnic so I can understand why there would be a pushback against that and instead scapegoating the gas range. But really its insane how much crap gets into the air when you cook anything indoors on any type of range.
peteradio··on Asian American women are getting lung cancer despite never smoking
Gas ranges aren't the only range that needs to be vented, all need it.
peteradio··on EPA rules would force coal-fired power plants to capture emissions or shut down
Do you think its not true or should we mute certain truths dare it support the evil faction?
peteradio··on Snowflake Arctic Instruct (128x3B MoE), largest open source model
> as the hype dies down, so will the stock prices.

*Depending on govt interventions

peteradio··on New Foundations is consistent – a difficult mathematical proof proved using Lean
I don't think the system here is trying to prove any of its underlying assumptions, just building on some set of existing ones. I doubt the theorem you are thinking of is applicable.
peteradio··on Waymo illegal overtake into wrong-way driving
Next week when it does plow into a bunch of people or causes a pileup we'll have people saying "I did much worse when I was young, people do it all the time"
peteradio··on Waymo illegal overtake into wrong-way driving
If Waymo sold the software/hardware without onerous licensing costs I would rather live in world #2. If instead they become an incredibly wealthy lobbying engine based on extraction for a few rather than true wealth creation then I'd rather still live in world #1.
peteradio··on Rich world owes $500B in 'moral debt' to poor countries
No disagreement on your main points. But coal could be a choke point. China already is increasing coal imports significantly.
peteradio··on High global food prices may see a bottom in 2024, says Oxford Economics
A bottom would mean there's only one way to go ... up? Why are they using that word here? Is it a common usage in this case?
peteradio··on Hackers Broke into Change Healthcare's Systems 9 Days Before Cyberattack
This isn't a privacy hit, its probably the worst outflow of all time considering its sensitivity. If this isn't UnitedHealth's reckoning then I think the US is permanently screwed because it just doesn't know how to work properly anymore.
peteradio··on America is uniquely ill-suited to handle a falling population
People are not fungible. There is potentially such a thing as a wrong/right person to fill a slot.
peteradio··on Ask HN: High quality Python scripts or small libraries to learn from
I'm curious what recommendations you remember disagreeing with.
peteradio··on Tesla recalls all cybertrucks for faulty accelerator pedals
SpaceX had him busy single-handedly designing rockets.
peteradio··on USAF Test Pilot School, DARPA announce aerospace machine learning breakthrough
Could be many lines of removed code. I imagine they may have introduced a simpler interface offloading governance to configuration data.
peteradio··on Why the Higgs Field Is Nothing Like Molasses, Soup, or a Crowd
Spare me your petty questions! They spring from a brain too meager to comprehend my reality. Now taste my power!
peteradio··on How many bathrooms have Neanderthals in the tile?
Dentist floored by Precarbonite man's mandible floored by dentist's parents.

Still easier to understand then the goddamn title.

peteradio··on Why the Higgs Field Is Nothing Like Molasses, Soup, or a Crowd
I don't know, I think its ok to just tell someone that its out of their own grasp to understand the thing at hand and leave it at that. Giving someone a surface level "understanding" ultimately marks them as an idiot in the topic at hand because they will go on to parrot their useless understanding for what purpose?
peteradio··on Covid infections are causing IQ drops and years of brain aging, studies suggest
Good study design trumps replication. If you construct a shitty misleading study and everybody jumps on the hype train to replicate you've netted negative on the replication axis.
peteradio··on To make a fortune, target bored young men who want to make a fortune
> That you need an army of people to keep a gui running is the victory of Wall St over the hackers.

I'd rather have 90% of a 1 piece pie than 50% of a full pie. 90 > 50

peteradio··on The Guide to Stock Options Conversations
Because you don't have a clue what the market will bear.
peteradio··on An unusual prehistoric monument made up of three interlocking circles
Or possibly some sort of as yet undiscovered stupid bird.
peteradio··on What John von Neumann did at Los Alamos (2020)
> Reality disproved his game-theoretic argument.

Or maybe he was playing game with his statements. There is a sociological principle (I don't know what/if it has a name) of having an extreme take to rein in a lesser extreme. It can be very informative to see your own ideas taken to an extreme. There is also the impact of an enemy knowing how calculating/cynical you are towards them. I'd say Von Neumann was a hippies hippy by all accounts.

peteradio··on Ask HN: What is the biggest thing you've changed your mind about?
NoWTHis is Prod-racCING
peteradio··on The xz attack shell script
Why do utilities need constant fucking updates? Why do they need maintenance? New features are entirely optional and if what you want to do isn't supported aka xz java, uhh, get fucked or do it yourself.
peteradio··on The xz attack shell script
Google gets to decide what platform they want to support for their backend. I wonder what their build code would look like if they tried to support the top-10 common OS from the last 30 years.
peteradio··on The xz attack shell script
Stop trying to support such a variety of images too? Maybe?
peteradio··on The xz attack shell script
That seems like a breach that they went forward with the update based on some random persons request. Oh you're getting pushy? I guess we better listen to this guy.
