King isn't allowed to move to a square that would put him in check, so there are no legal moves available. Chess rules.

Permitted? What’s your plan to stop them without triggering Armageddon?

Biological: Unavoidable radiation hazard to astronauts on EVA; passengers and crew in high-flying aircraft at high latitudes may be exposed to radiation risk.

Anyone have a sense of magnitude for this advisory? How much more radiation should an airline passenger expect to receive during a G4 event than normal?

If you have Prime it's probably already justified by your normal usage. So shenanigans are effectively free.

The version that is live now is a big update from 2019 and was released today https://x.com/bruno_simon/status/1998361646939689235

One of the selling points they mention is that they won't need to use any fresh water for cooling.

My understanding was that water-demands on Earth were an overblown issue and minuscule when compared to other uses of fresh water such as watering one acre of farmland.

Not to mention, "used" water is just "warm" water that can then be used again for other purposes.

So are they perpetuating a myth here? Or is water use a bigger issue than I thought?

Nothing stopping the satellite data center from communicating back to homebase via Starlink network right?

Would probably need to negotiate for a huge amount of dedicated priority bandwidth, but latency shouldn't actually be that bad.

This is what I do with my "Daily Brain Dump". I use Apple Notes bc it syncs up nicely with my phone. Every day I add a new entry to the top of the note. Mix of TODO's and a journal. Actually have two files, one for my life in general and one for work.

Teens are old enough to find their way around any content bans. This seems like a good way to introduce teens to VPN's and skirting content regulations early. It's also dumb because YouTube can teach you almost anything, I'd say it's the "best of the worst" when it comes to social media on the internet.

When people say "you can just do things" this is what they mean. Fun article, I hope everyone reading this who wishes they had something like it in their neighborhood starts this weekend by inviting their nearest friend for coffee on the stoop.

Maybe a "Download App" button that installs the PWA would help

OP is a software engineer, so this is a software engineer using LLM's to make tech products.

You definitely still can just show up and do cool hacks.

Also hackathons are really easy to host if you keep them under 50 people. All you really need at that size is a co-working space and some pizzas.

So if you don't like the vibe at your local hackathons, why not host your own one weekend?

I think the key is really the size of the thing. Giant hackathons with big sponsors and prizes are always going to be more "serious" feeling than your local self-organized hack-days.

One thing I'd like more info on is in what ways Nestlé and other water companies have contributed to the problem.

I've long heard that they lobby to prevent the local Government in CDMX from providing potable water in order to protect their bottled water and water-delivery business, but I actually don't know how well substantiated those accusations are.

On the positive side of things, Mexico City gets a ton of rain during the wet season which can be harvested with rooftop collectors.

I used to host weekly virtual co-working for founders who needed some accountability. We got a lot done during those sessions and ultimately met my co-founder through it. Later today we'll be body doubling virtually to get our taxes done together.

Any clues to how they plan to invest $500 billion dollars? What infrastructure are they planning that will cost that much?

Depends on the book. Depends on the TikTok.

You can have passive experiences via either medium. TikTok is really optimized for that shallow level of engagement though and books trend in the opposite direction.

If you don't get past the headline you might miss the most interesting part of this story. Bhutan is building a special economic-zone city, based on Singapore as a model, and designed by Bjarke Ingels. The renders are really striking, many of the major and most important buildings are designed to double as bridges over the river. Skip to 16:52 in the video to see the renders of the planned development "Gelephu Mindfulness City".

Do you have an API?

This is great, thank you! Would be even better if it had a little "click here to hear it said out loud" button.

One thing I've always struggled with Math is keeping track of symbols I don't know the name of yet.

Googling for "Math squiggle that looks like a cursive P" is not a very elegant or convenient way of learning new symbol names.

I wish every proof or equation came with a little table that gave the English pronunciation and some context for each symbol used.

It would make it a lot easier to look up tutorials & ask questions.

Honestly could use a breather from the recent rate of progress. We are just barely figuring out how to interact with the models we have now. I'd bet there are at least 100 billion-dollar startups that will be built even if these labs stopped releasing new models tomorrow.

This is one of the issues we're running into at my startup ApplyAll (automates job applications & the job search in general).

Our current best solution is to track when jobs get published/unpublished so that we can tell what's a repost (more likely to be a ghost job) vs a fresh job with high-intention to get the role filled.

I was talking to my co-founder this morning about collecting enough data so that we can analyze if it's even worth it for us to apply customers to re-posted jobs (there are legit reasons companies might do that) or if the hit rate is too low to bother (our kpi is interview-requests).

Noisy and fuel-inefficient (9 mpg), the Grummans are costly to maintain.

Environmentalists were outraged when DeJoy announced that 90% of the next-gen vehicles in the first order would be gas-powered.

I was gonna say they environmentalists were wrong for this, if the new trucks get significantly better mpg performance that's still a big win.

But apparently with the AC running the new trucks still only get 9mpg.[1][2]

So if Metformin is used to treat high blood sugar levels, would we get the same cognitive benefits by just consuming less sugar?

Can't see the full paper to see if they compared the results of metformin vs a low-sugar diet.

EDIT: Already brought up and discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41522931#41523725

The exciting thing about these findings is not that the monkey's live longer, it's that their brains aged slower.

---

Highlights:

• Metformin prevents brain atrophy, elevating cognitive function in aged male primates

• Metformin slows the pace of aging across diverse male primate tissues

• Metformin counterparts neuronal aging, delivering geroprotection via Nrf2 in male primates

Would really like to see a benchmarking analysis vs SQLite. How do they compare on memory usage and overhead?

I already default to SQLite for new side projects with the idea that "eventually I'll migrate to Postgres if this project gets legs", so switching to PGlite feels like a no-brainer as long as it's not going to weigh my apps down or force me to upgrade out of whatever entry-level server solution I'm using is for a given project.

EDIT: Found the benchmarks here https://pglite.dev/benchmarks

This is cool, I love how it shows you all the branches you've followed in actual tree diagram.

The concept reminds of https://browser.horse/ a bit, which has the concept of "trails" that track any links you visit. Great for research projects.

I wonder what the incentives are on publishing prices upfront vs keeping that information closer to your chest until you've sussed out a buyer. Interesting site regardless, kudos.
