There may be plenty of unrealistic prerequisites before the machine revolution can start distributing its economic surplus to everyone, and give people not enough work to do, but--

"...while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic." --Marx, The German Ideology

Just replace 'society' with 'centralized AI'. To keep busy, maybe the reality if you don't need to create real value anymore is that life becomes a half-empty series of paint nights, cooking classes, and other such role-play.

It depends on how progress is defined. Technically it implies movement towards some end-state wheather it is obtainable or not. Disease outbreaks are a progression technically but in this context it is limited to positive changes.

Evolution itself doesn't neccessarily fit - while it may progress it may also stagnate or get caught in cycles. While a result may eventually dominate it is important to remember evolution has no goals - it is literal survivorship bias manifest.

As for intent I believe the answer is an unsatisfying "it depends" as who it serves and who defines meaning changes and the question becomes originally or currently?

I will say this is an issue with iot devices in general right now.

When I rebuilt my wireless network, every smarthome device has to be modified and that was the worst part about it.

At least these were basically free anyways (you bought them for $5 and then got a $5 credit on your first purchase with them) so I did not feel a need to switch them over.

I too am happy to live in a country with a humane policy towards voluntary end-of-life, but this is not a clear cut case where euthanasia would apply: this is a patient with at least some consciousness left, but that no court would find competent to make decisions, and with no known relatives (up until the reporter found one).

The question then becomes not only whether the required conditions for euthanasia apply, but also whether the state-appointed legal guardian has the mandate to make such a fundamental decision on behalf of the patient. Personally speaking, granting that kind of power to a government representative is not something I'm comfortable with.

Do you mean 10 minutes? He lines it up with Polaris, so it only needs one axis of rotation. But I guess the alignment isn't that good since it is just eyeballed, but it should work for exposure times much longer than 10 seconds. He is even rotating the screw every 15 seconds which wouldn't make much sense for a 10 second exposure. =)
Clever little project in any case. Thanks for sharing the video.

> Honestly, this shows why projects of major complexity need professional full-time developers.

I think the opposite, it shows why projects that care about the practical side of open source and free software should always have in mind their "hackability" from regular developers.

I remember a case where RMS didn't want to make some change in a project (i think it was Emacs) because it would make the project harder for people who didn't work on it to understand it.

And it makes sense, if you believe that what makes FLOSS good is that anyone could change and/or improve it, then it follows that you should try to maximize the pool of that "anyone".

A controlled self destruction at the cellular level? I'm sure there's many ways to express the concept simply and clearly enough for people to get an idea.

What irks me is the usage of vague but positive terms to indicate what is a neutral, mechanical process. It might have positive impacts in certain circumstances, but if the body were so concerned about "cleansing" and "restoring", it would do it, fasting or not fasting.

Projecting on nature our own intentionality, sense of purpose and good/ bad categories is a pre-scientific attitude.

One obvious benefit of nuclear over wind & solar is that it provides a baseload that doesn't require an as-yet unavailable mass storage solution. This is a common concern on HN, so I'm simply regurgitating what people far more knowledgable than I frequently point out.

Actually, is storage included in the CO2 calculation when it comes to wind and solar?

If we want to evolve a non-hydrocarbon based energy economy, we need to shift industry and transport to electric too - how much wind and solar would THAT require?

I'm very wary of all evolutionary nutrition arguments, because a) we know very little about prehistoric lifestyle, b) there have been many generations since agriculture started and agricultural societies regularly outcompeted hunter-gatherers.

Furthermore it's really not clear that something is better just because it was that way during the time we supposedly evolved. For example, we didn't evolve with antiseptics either and yet disinfecting wounds seems like a pretty good idea.

Hmm, I really want to suggest that linked SVG files should be able to be styled like inline/embedded ones, but I partly feel this item on the site would probably cover that:

https://webwewant.fyi/wants/13/

Still, I guess outside of that, I want more customisation options and standardisation around the date/time picker interfaces on those custom fields. The fact every browser has its own version, and most of them are basically impossible to style is ridiculous.

Also it's time we stopped treating form inputs like some immutable part of the OS UI and let developers customise those too. We should be able to fully style select fields/drop downs, radio buttons and checkboxes, etc.
Could fit that proof on a notecard!
That's an interesting project but not quite the same - the Dash buttons use wifi to connect (instead of bluetooth) which lets them operate more independently.
By the way, the phrase "if he can think, if he can wait, if he can fast" comes from the book Siddartha by Hermann Hesse[0] which is (roughly) about Buddhist philosophy.

I don't mean to pick on traders. Nominally it's a hard and honest job and money made is money deserved.

The problem is that if I have a company [and this is a systemic example, no exceptions, see #1], and I allow (central-)bank "friendly" people on its board, so that we can receive as many low- or zero-interest loans (with open due date or refinancing at will, i.e. free money, printed freshly from thin air) from the bank, so that we can under-price, destroy and acquire all our competition, become a monopoly AND finance a massive lobbying power in the DC so that we can get laws passed which increase our profits (at the disadvantage of the citizen), you can bet all your savings that such system's demise is written in the fabric of space and time, because the most essential feedback loops (and the ones that you mention, the ones in the market, work in exactly the opposite way) in that system have been disabled and its just a runaway train without brakes.

Buying laws starts and finances wars, relaxes food, water and environmental toxicity limits, enables false advertising, eventually raises taxes, enables trading of derivatives so detached from reality that a computer game pales in comparison, you name it.

I wonder about looking backwards in history for examples of how people dealt with 'no enough work'.

For example, I believe that ballet got started in part so that Louis the XIV could require his aristocrats to observe the proper etiquette that he'd made up, so that he could better control them.

Point being - they had enough food, shelter, and luxuries supplied to them that they didn't need to work.
YAA (Yet another anecdote)

Fasting has changed my life. I put a ton of weight on in B-school (yes not afraid to admit I went to b school on HN) that plus my consulting lifestyle (lack of good quality sleep for days at a time) really started to take a toll on my health (lines and bags under my eyes, poor health and energy levels in general).

My wife is due with our second in august, so I decided to get in shape as a gift to my baby girl. I’m not a gym goer, so fasting looked appealing. There’s so much research around IF, circadian rhythms, effect on anti cancer factors, autophagy, anti Alzheimer’s, diabetes, etc, definitely a lot more to motivate people now than before when it was likely for spiritual reasons.

I dropped forty pounds in the last three months, and probably look almost ten years younger, I feel like my body has almost reversed the damage I did to it from school and over work. I was addicted to eating and I’ve broken through that, and now I can just work non stop all day for 12-18 hours as needed, whereas my colleagues are still fixated on six small meals, which I’ve now realized is so disruptive to work and concentration. No more after lunch coma, I haven’t even had to set foot in a gym. I don’t do Omad but will do 48h and 72h fasting, and I feel fine, have not felt a huge drop in muscle that everyone freaks out about. All in all I will keep going with this fasting focused lifestyle, and would definitely recommend anyone who is struggling with this to try it.. first week is toughest, once you break through the addiction, you won’t even think about it.
Some areas are going to require more funding than others. For example, certain areas are wealthier and as a result are less reliant on the after-school programs, while poorer areas have a higher likelihood to be single-parent, or both parents having to work, meaning that the after-school programs are vital.

That's just one example, but it's not as simple as "give a certain amount of money per kid to the schools", and saying this is reductionist.

(Edit: I misread the original claim, my fault. So I'm fixing the text here.)

I think it's important to look at authoritative documents, especially since copyright duration is absurdly complicated. You can learn more about copyright duration in the US here: https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-duration.html

Circular 15a "Duration of Copyright" from the US Copyright Office ( https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ15a.pdf ) says in heading "Automatic Renewal and Voluntary Registration" that:

* "Mandatory Renewal Works originally copyrighted between January 1, 1950, and December 31, 1963. Copyrights in their first 28-year term on January 1, 1978, still had to be renewed to be protected for the second term. If a valid renewal registration was made at the proper time, the second term will last for 67 years. However, if renewal registration for these works was not made within the statutory time limits, a copyright originally secured between 1950 and 1963 expired on December 31 of its 28th year, and protection was lost permanently."

* "Works originally copyrighted between January 1, 1964, and December 31, 1977. Congress amended the copyright law on June 26, 1992, to automatically renew the copyright in these works and to make renewal registration for them optional. Their copyright term is still divided between a 28-year original term and a 67-year renewal term, but a renewal registration is not required to secure the renewal copyright. The renewal vests on behalf of the appropriate renewal claimant upon renewal registration or, if there is no renewal registration, on December 31 of the 28th year."

So there is a cutoff before 1964. However, it's not at all clear to me how many times the copyright holders didn't renew their copyrights. I would be unsurprised if the big publishers did typically renew them. If a book was published in 1950 and it was renewed, then the copyright would continue until 2045 (1950+28+67).

I've only listed 2 cases (just before & just after 1964), but there are actually many more cases and it's all quite complicated.

I think copyright duration is grossly overlong, far in excess of what is needed to get people to create works.

Welcome to now.
Converting that R&D into actual products and services, I'd wager, is quite difficult without a profit incentive. It's like the difference between having a great idea for a startup and actually turning it into a functioning company.

Without invoking too many absolutes, there's so much bullshit involved in the latter that people doing the former aren't willing to put up with. It's mostly two different kinds of people with two different skillsets.
Don't confuse Q with real prior leaks. Q is a cold-read fabrication using the same format as earlier leaks to the same channels.
The market seems to reflect that age is a valuable attribute for entrepreneurs[1], and I'd be curious to know the average age of published authors, composers, mathematicians, and so on; particularity when it comes to works that society deems important long term. But anecdotally I'd say that an individual's future potential is more interesting to society at large, based on prevalence in the media and the social cachet of hanging around with people in the 30 under 30 crowd.

I also think that success is too broad a term to characterize generally, but if you think about different opportunities and pressures in each logical window of time in an average person's life then it should be apparent that different varieties of success are more probable for each timeframe, even if chance contributes on an equal basis with any other personal attribute.

In any case, being comfortable with wingin' it is probably itself a favored characteristic.

It would probably be better if these sites found a way to compile songs from DJ mix tracklists and then scan for the highest quality audio from sites like YouTube and Spotify and then stream entire mix tracklists by genre as individual tunes, that way matching songs within music genres would be more properly targeted genre-wise. I fear a future where AI picks all the music because what I like to hear usually is never what I hear on streaming cues.

Licensing within the music industry is the #1 enemy of getting good music cue suggestions across all music artists though, as many streaming providers can't just access any song they want to, because the agreements to play on each service are so limited and segmented.
An appeal to extremes is not the only way to get the point across.
Reading that and getting hooked on the narrative because the whole thing sounds like the workings of a giant AI brain and is too cool to refute, then they quietly tack on "and beneficial to the economy"; we economic laypeople are supposed to take that on faith, as if hearing a theologian prescribe how to live and concluding with "and beneficial to your immortal soul". Who are we to argue?
