Yes, they get visually more sphere-like as more faces are added. But spheres are obviously/trivially non-Rupert, while the question of whether a convex polyhedron can be non-Rupert…

Re: Sendgrid killing their free tier - I used them for the contact form on my personal website, and after they ended the free tier I was able to move to Resend (who has a similar f…

What does that look like in a more intensive hospital setting? I've seen the shift to midlevels happening in primary care, but I'm not sure how that translates to inpatient setting…

For other readers: "15 Twh per year" is equivalent to 1.71 GW, 17.1% of the "10GW" number used to describe the deal.

I'll leave it to you and others who read this to evaluate the columnist's argument in the linked article vs. the UN commissioner's argument published last week in the same publicat…

See mort96's comments about 7-bit ASCII and parity bits ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45225911 ). Kind of archaic now, though - 8-bit bytes with the error checking living …

More so than tables per unit time, it's dollars per unit time. When I was a server, the usual metric of how well you performed on a given shift was the total of your bills ("how mu…

That's really cool. I was mostly envisioning hands-on admin stuff (because that's the work I'm most familiar with), but I hadn't thought about how much of a boon it would be to hav…

> I helped to recover my nearby hospital as a volunteer when it was ransomwared. I'm curious about how you got in the door here. Very cool, but isn't healthcare IT notoriously cage…

"Artslop"? Care to elaborate on your usage here? I'm curious if your problem here is with the incursion of art into your preferred dinoslop, or if artslop is your catch-all for wor…

Looks like I'm about to start learning which of my time-killing websites are hosted on GCP - The Ringer is down, and since Spotify owns them and is a major GCP customer, it looks l…

It's worth nothing that it takes less money than you may expect to significantly shift a prediction market's trading price. This article, while its tone aged poorly with the releva…

I like letter-slash-letter abbreviations but I've never run into c/f before. What does it mean? Do you remember where you first picked it up?

I agree that it's not wrong, but I would certainly call it incomplete too. It's your choice which of those two points you want to emphasize, but calling the Standard Model "not wro…

"since 2018" means "starting 2018, through the present", no?

You're missing the point - a rapist would have a criminal arrest warrant, which would absolutely be the courthouse's responsibility to enforce. The ICE agents attempted to disrupt …

My small liberal arts college sent a lot of people to Epic (3-5 grads out of each year's class of ~550), including me - they are known for hiring lots of fresh grads with academic-…

I feel like this shows up in any news article about resale markups of trendy merch - the highest-price listing gets the headline, regardless of if it ever sells. I get that these s…

I thought that most FOSS projects took multiple compiler implementations as a sign of a healthy language environment, without much prestige associated with being the "premier" comp…

I find the road cycling arms race really fascinating too, especially for tech focused on measurement rather than performance. See the 2021 ban on diabetic-style glucose monitors du…
