> Are we as individuals hopelessly trapped in a social fabric

Yes and no. The trap you speak of is merely a frame designed to bind you. The simplest (yet effective) one is a false dichotomy: you're given a choice between similarly bad options A1 and A9, brushing under the rug options B and C. In a more advanced variety the compromise "A4" is setup first and the false dichotomy A1:A9 is built around it as two herding gate poles. A step up from there is a vicious attack on options B and C and any person who dares to bring them up.

Disposing of frames in your own mind is relatively easy assuming you can talk with a few smart people without fear of reprisal. Just keep an open mind about it - remember your goal is to break out of the frame, not to inflict your version of truth upon the unsuspecting universe (the urge itself, if you have it, needs to be confronted).

As to direct counteraction - that's just one of the frames you're stuck in. You assume that you either counter them, or you acquiesce to them, or hide from them. Did you notice that all three choices make things worse? That's a sure sign you're in a frame. The "cause them irrelevant" part is kind of right, except that it's the consequence, not the method.

Break the frame, you will see a lot more options.
Yep; the key technology that took magnetic confinement fusion from 'ITER will probably work' to 'Maybe we should just go ahead and skip ITER' is rebco tape.

The problem is that all known superconducting materials known will lose their ability to superconduct when exposed to a sufficiently strong magnetic field. The large field strengths induce eddy currents in the material which disrupt the propagation of the cooper pairs in its superconducting mode. The current sufficient to self-induce this field is called the critical current.

Layered rebco tape appears to shield against this effect or otherwise trap the eddy currents in a way that superconductivity is preserved even in the presence of extremely strong fields. The critical current in REBCO tape is enormously higher than in previously known materials or winding configurations.

Obviously the bigger the reactor volume is, the smaller the magnetic field needed to steer and confine the plasma within it can be. So back when they were designing ITER, engineers figured out the strongest magnet they could make, then they designed the reactor to be small enough (lol) that said magnet could still sustain confinement.

However now that we have stronger magnets we can make reactors smaller. This is even something of an gross understatement as the relationship is cubic. For a doubling in field strength, the reactor can be 8 times smaller. That effect is very meaningful when considering that you are essentially talking about shrinking something the size of ITER's 28m main reaction vessel to something that might fit into a garage.

I'm not really any kind of expert on this, so please treat this explanation as very simplistic.

I have not yet personally seen anything about this new lattice confinement modality that seems to give me anywhere near the same level of confidence that they will see viable applications compared to the magnetic confinement approach. (NIF already stood down their tries at laser inertial confinement) Maybe someone has some good insight on whether or not this is all still speculative fanfare or if researchers are finding real meat.
> I believe the parent comment is describing how most people had friends of various backgrounds that they saw physically and communicated with freely - instead of having a social filter over digital connections that blocked them immediately before they ever really knew them.

In person or not, everyone has a social filter on who they interact with. Your wealth, race, gender, orientation, interests, and location all act as filters against who you'll interact with, let alone be friends with. If you go to Harvard, how much relative opportunity do you think that gives you to befriend someone who isn't a rich white person? Especially, ya know, when only white people (white men, even) could even go to Harvard.

These filters are more or less permeable by the culture and scope of your life, but if you think there's some magical moment in the past when white people by an large all had black friends or rich people all had poor friends, you're dreaming.

It's easier now to experience perspectives alien to you by a country mile. It's also easier for them to intrude into your life.

Somehow, it's the most privileged people are the most likely to call this intrusion an attack. To call people wanting to re-establish boundaries with them a violation of their 'right to free speech'. Funny that.

No it doesn't if you spoof orders it has only very short term effects.
give them complete control over all their TLS certificates

Yes. Cloudflare is both a middlebox service and a certificate authority that can issue itself an SSL cert for any web site. What could possibly go wrong?

Take a look at the certificate for https://ycombinator.com

It's issued by Cloudflare to Cloudflare for the domains "*.ycombinator.com", with an organization of "Cloudflare, Inc."

Oh, and Cloudflare is also a DNS service and a domain registrar. They really do have the power to take over any domain at any time.

It's their web.

Sony support within my region (Asia Pacific) is 10x better than any of their competitors too. They ship new TV's when there's a minor defect, and they price match directly so you don't have to worry about the retailer going out of business if your TV breaks. Admittedly I've yet to use Sony support personally - nothing has broken.
To not create a intermediate array I think
Not sure if it changed, but my 1-2 year old Sony with Android TV was fine with not being connected to the internet at all.

No idea if it's full of some sort of baked in ads because, after the initial setup, I've used it exclusively as... a TV. It turns on, shows me things I give it over HDMI, and turns off. I haven't actually seen the menu/apps/whatever after the first day.

It's not optimal, I'd rather it just be a dumb TV obviously, but in a sea of bad options it's been... fine.
XML is basically just a vastly inferior form of sexps, just as ASN.1 at least for the purposes of encoding cert info in TLS is vastly inferior to csexps -- the latter is canonical by design, efficient and trivial to write a robust parser for.
But rust does have Traits which work perfectly fine for that same logic. We can just say this trait implements the Button and ToggleButton Traits.
I own a 250$ 4k TV that doesn't do this. Samsung does this shit with their cell phones too. Rocking a cheaper brand Android phone now. Also helps I'm not being forced to keep Facebook installed

Why not just take the React-native model and port it to Rust (whatever that translates to)? From my POV for 85%+ of things it’s good enough and would be fairly simple to implement.
which is absurdly high of a percentage to have people think they are skilled when they are lucky.

Ask HN: Did HN lost its soul?
Yesterday, we posted on HN a link to our blog in celebration to reaching our first 1000th Github star.

We are working on a niche domain, i.e. colour science, and the team was undoubtedly happy with the achievement. This morning, I noticed that the thread is flagged, which is mildly saddening:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24625977

When did people start to flag development successes? When did celebrating become not desirable? Celebrating success stories is an integral part of what makes HN.

AFAIK, talking about Github stars has never been an issue here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=1&prefix=true&query=%22github%20stars%22&sort=byPopularity&type=story

I have been on HN, mostly lurking, for over a decade, and I have certainly always enjoyed reading about other development projects celebrating their achievements. Seeing other developers happy and joyful is a motivation factor for our work.
Recently I've been playing with the idea of writing a sci-fi book.

...and that's mostly it. I don't know what could be the next step, except actually writing the thing.

Are there websites/communities? I don't follow nor know of any relevant ones myself.

Start with short stories? Or something longer?

Self-publish whatever I write? Or start spamming "real publishers"?

When I was younger I read a monthly science fiction magazine in the library. That magazine had all kinds of short stories ranging from hardcore space sci-fi to some kind of horror fantasy things. Some stories were so interesting that it was a bit frustrating for the story to stop after only a few pages.

What we really need are better ion propulsion systems. Even with a power source current ion propulsion systems are much slower than chemical rockets for short-term deep space missions like transit to Mars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrically_powered_spacecraf...

Realistically, if we had good electric propulsion we could just slap a conventional fission reactor in there. We already launch plutonium on many deep-space missions for steady nuclear power. For now chemical propulsion is simply faster and more reliable, electric propulsion is still in the early stages, and there are many other problems to solve in human spaceflight.
I have an LG Smart TV. I didn't consent to any of the tracking features and haven't seen a single ad for years. I strongly recommend it as an alternative to Sony.

A 70hp compact can't maintain 130kmph on a climbing highway, only on a flat highway. I know this from experience - I had to pull into the slow lane with the trucks. Plus, a compact car at full throttle is really an unpleasant experience - the car wheezes at high volume and you can feel it's doing its best and it's not enough.
So for the people who I know do it professionally, the answer is really simple - when they run calculations for clients, they can add GCP compute time on the invoice. You can't bill a client for your own electricity usage. I mean you can factor it into the price of your service, but then that brings a whole pile of other issues with it.
Great was waiting for this !!!
There is a sizable middle ground between "basic intuition" and "black art".

I think anyone with some experience in that type of software would intuitively understand the negative user experience described here.

3080 has no NVLink, so 2x 3080 would communicate only via PCIe and it's unlikely they would form a single 20-40GB virtual RAM like what 2x2080Ti with NVLink did under Linux.

>So, which text and vector renderer are you proposing? That's not snark, that's a real question

I was going to write that there are several, but you already mention most of them. You say though:

"On Linux, that's Cairo and Pango--which are Gtk."

Yeah, they're not really GTK.

Or in any case that's not what people mean when they say they wished a Rust GUI that doesn't use GTK. They mean one that doesn't use GTK+ the lib and widgets, not whether it can use Cairo and Pango...
> I am not sure that's a good thing for majority of the population. Sandboxing does nothing if you download untrusted apps and give them permission to send SMS or setup a VPN or do whole lot of damage. If you aren't a geek you are saying ok to anything any app asks.

People already say ok to anything any app asks on Google Play. That isn't a problem unique to competing app stores, it's a problem with Android's permissions UI/UX. Just look at any non-tech-savvy Android user's phone to see that "anarchy" is already the status quo.

As near as I can tell, Cloudflare has never turned a profit, so its debatable to what extent they have been a "success". Not every business is comfortable running at a loss indefinitely.
This is the reality of software engineering. Fixing this would probably be a waste of time. Compared to downloading the video content, it doesn't matter at all. And as the article says, repeated content probably compresses extremely well.

An inefficient framework that enables the thousands(?) of engineers at YouTube to reliably design frontends is well worth it.

On the other hand, maybe YouTube's code is a horrible duplicated mess and this is just the result of that. But still, what actual benefit other than aesthetics would you get?
Then...don't use the apps?

What can the apps on your TV do that a $40 Amazon Fire stick ($50 if you want 4K) can't?

I'd rather hook up an old laptop to my TV and use that to watch media than use the apps on my TV and deal with all the bullshit that TV manufacturers are doing when you connect the TV to the network.
While I'm all for React-Native, the opinions on how to do cross-platform GUI differ.

I've found home-manager to be more trouble than it's worth for most things:

* Config files aren't always stored in text (e.g. KDE Plasma, Gnome)

* It's all-or-nothing usually, unless you can find a way to make the home-manager config your "base"

* Changing settings isn't integrated, and requires editing/rebuilding/reopening (e.g. I can't just hit Ctrl+ to increase font size in VS Code, I have to edit a config file, run home-manager switch, then usually reopen)

* Plugins, especially things like extension stores, are a hack and a half. You have to hunt for hashes, then change it every time your old version falls off the CDN.

It's a nice idea, in theory, but it only works in a vacuum.
Unremarkable if you're in that field with experience. If you're one of the majority of developers working around the edges or new to the subject it is quite enlightening.
The direct harm Trump can do is clear and present in a way that eating a Kit Kat could never be. The office of president has access to ALL US intelligence and vast international intelligence. He could literally sell that after he leaves office. The harm a conflicted president could do is as greater than anyone on earth so all your examples pale in comparison.

I am not a hot headed teen. That’s an ad hominem attack meant to paint my position as childish and silly. You probably would have said the same thing before the American revolution, or the rise of Hitler.

At some point we need to draw a line between right and wrong. This is a very black and white situation. The government draws a very clear line when someone has debt that could be used to extort or manipulate them. Security clearance Ian it granted when that risk exists so you can attempt to muddy the waters and wave your hand that “morality is full of gray area” but this is not one of them.

Anyone that enables Trump after he says he won’t leave office or may run for a third term. Or support him after these financial disclosures would enable him to hold power under any circumstances and for any length of time.

Just to note, I realised much of this when composing and citing my reply above. US NCES and UNESCO literacy metrics and criteria do seem to differ pretty materially.

There are other evidences of persistent barriers to skills and rationality attainment though, with fairly strong evidence.

US high school graduation rates reached a pretty firm plateau in about 1950, having risen from six percent in 1900. Much of the ballyhoo over secondary education (test scores vs. graduation rates) has involved trading one against the other, though improvements in fundamental living standards for the poorest (well mother/baby care, nutrition, housing, environmental contaminants most especially heavy metals, reduced general precarity) have also contributed greatly, as has equality of access. All of these being before pedagogical factors are considered --- raiseing the floor is the most cost-effective way of raising numerous population averages.

Hiher-education attainment similarly shows some resistance to expansion, as well as questions regarding comparability over time. Bachellors, Masters, and PhD inflation seem likely. There are also cases where standards seem to have tightened somewhat: there was a biography of a 19th century American who was admitted to the bar in a Southern state on the basis of a brief interview, but who declined the practived on account of the obviously lax standards evidenced. (Ran across recently via Wikipedia, though the details escape me.)

Back to literacy, the US seems to struggle to achieve ~95% at a minimum, the number I'd initially written above, though by its own measure (assuming all those unable to participate in the assessment are illiterate) as low as 91%.

The UNESCO values strike me as somewhat suspiciously high. I'm not sure that's warranted suspicion, but it suggests investigating methods more deeply.

macOS just recently switched to zsh as the default and doesn't change the shell for existing users so I imagine it is likely the majority of macOS users are still using bash.
I'm kind of surprised that FB didn't copy that targeted circles feature. It was such a great idea. You could even do some logical operations on the circles. You could have a circle for professional stuff which you kept politics out of and you could have a separate political circle for politics only, but if you wanted to target both you could do an AND.
Same here on all points. I am familiar w/ existing options to create Qt bindings in Rust, yet like other non-Qt-backed bindings (i.e. not PySide), they fall into disrepair or suffer on often needed features such as inheritance and slots.

I am kinda hoping autocxx[0] reaches the level of being able to handle wxWidgets headers (I have no hope for Qt though there are multiple Rust projects that try) and that will probably be enough for me on the desktop. Alternatively, it'd be nice to see a project that manually built Qt widget bindings surfacing an idiomatic Rust interface (kinda like what NodeGui does), but it's a lot of manual work that will have limited coverage in early stages instead of just continually improving/tweaking a generator.

There are rumors about 48GB 3090 with older GDDR6 chips so having the same config for 3080 wouldn't be unexpected, at least until Micron could produce 2GB GDDR6X chips.
Even conservatively estimating 80% efficiency and 80% cruise speed, and estimating 25% peak power during cruise, that's:

83.1 km = (112kWh x 80% x 25 mph x 1.6 km/mile x 80%) / (138 kW x 25%)

which is an armchair number plenty close to the claimed 100 kilometers. And if it only has to go 2 km eight times a day, it's going to use less than a third of its capacity.

It only succeeds at manipulation, for the most part, because of assumptions created by the prohibition that the apparent liquidity is genuine liquidity.

The prohibition is what makes it work.
