> Wouldn't that be amazing.

We know that there's a lower limit to distillation that cannot be breached, "Kolmogorov Complexity", which extends Shannon entropy significantly. Furthermore, though this limit is universal, it does (in a well defined way) depend on your prior knowledge. It may seem paradoxical but isn't - it's just too long for this space....

It is not proof in the mathematical sense, mostly because your statement cannot be qualified in such a sense, but it strongly hints that "it would be amazing" because it is impossible.

Which is not to say we cannot do better than where we are today; but there is likely no solution that is, along all scenarios, better.

Apparently prime factoring has been performed on d-wave hardware. However, it's not clear to me that this leads to something useful. It's not Grover/Shor's algorithm, it's something else. Based on a quick scan of this presentation, I don't see what the claim is as far as the scaling law in space or time for the general factorization of biprimes problem.

"I've mentioned it before, but Reddit is so incredibly, unbelievably user-hostile nowadays that I don't understand why people use it."

I really don't see this "hostility". HN loves to complain about the new design, but I don't mind it, and sometimes I like it. RES works with it just fine. The only annoyance I get is RPAN, which I have been able to disable.

After 10 years of using Reddit, I don't feel like the site itself is worse. I just move to subreddits with good mods that don't want memes and I really enjoy my usage of the site.

I see, and I am not using hyperbole, literally none of the problems you state. Reddit is massive with more communities than either of us can appreciate and I think the direction the admins are going is actually fine? Sure, I don't agree with everything they do, but I don't see it as hostile or such a negative experience to my usage that I would think of leaving Reddit.

Try asking people what subreddits they go to, what their use-cases are like, when/why they use it. I really don't think it is so hard to "understand" why Reddit is a massively popular as it is.
Hey! Excellent that you have an idea that you're excited about and are taking action on it, well done. At the risk of disagreeing with a lot of the content on here, I'd suggest the first thing you want to look at is 'how you want your customer to buy', and design from there, because there are really big differences in strategy you want to address up front. For example, Product Led Growth (PLG) is really effective for a lot of startups (like Spotify for example), but it requires a very different sales model than you would use for a higher ticket B2B solution. You can learn about PLG here https://openviewpartners.com/blog/what-is-product-led-growth....

So I'd suggest you keep it REALLY simple to begin with, don't worry about the differentiation between channels and direct, marketing versus customer success etc. Talk to a few sales people you know selling in similar markets, or best of all, ask some potential customers you know to recommend sales people they like working with. Approaching a sales consultant for a free consult could work, but be careful to protect your intellectual property at this stage, and be aware that many sales consultants have a single area of expertise, like for me, it's B2B sales. If someone asks me about B2C, I'll have an opinion, but there would be much better people to talk to than me! If you're planning to bootstrap initially and aren't working with investors, don't think that precludes you from approaching VC funds to ask for advice or attending briefings in incubators, and building a relationship before you actually want investment is a really good idea too. An amazing source if advice is other founders / entrepreneurs, many of whom (as long as you pick wisely) will actively make time to help other entrepreneurs if they feel they can help you.
I would agree with most of that. I'm not a collectivist, and have no interest in sacrificing my children's well-being for collectivist goals. I will do everything in my power to give them an advantage in life, equity is explicitly not my goal.

Interestingly, people involved in homeschooling tend to be very involved in volunteering. I myself volunteer more hours than I care to think about. However, they tend to be involved in sub-communities, not the public community as a whole. Based entirely on anecdotal experience, I would bet that they do more for their own communities than the general public on average, it's just focused outside the public sphere.
Mostly, because we know that there were eras when women dominated programming, typing, debugging, documentation, etc. So we know that there's no biological or innate reason why women are unable/unwilling/unskilled at this labor. Instead, we conclude that it's culture.

Incidentally, part of the culture which causes women to leave is your inherently-othering comment which seeks to divide women and men into a binary categorization.

Edit to the children comments: To spell it out more clearly: The proportion of laborers in different fields is wholly cultural. The entire concept of fields of labor is wholly cultural. The entire concept of labor as something done not just for survival is cultural. Your brains are extremely plastic and you exist almost entirely on cultural, not instinctual, impulses.

What does it mean to "build" one?

Every places where I have worked people have been treated respectfully by the company, though certain individuals can be arseholes. The main place I am thinking of was a female boss who treated the mainly females team below her like shit. Plenty of them left and why wouldn't they?

Dozens? I would assume that there are millions on the internet that grew up with these 8-bit computers or even punch cards.

In fact, there is a significant retro scene alone of people collecting and even still writing and believe it or not SELLING games for the C64 and similar computers of the era. Check out Planet X-2 (I think for 8-bit) and Planet X-3 (I think for DOS). They were successful Kickstarter campaigns and shipped in physical form. There are many others too. I watched someone play "Hibernated 1 - This place is death" on an old computer and that game came out recently for a lot of different machines of the era. It's a pretty cool little fandom in my opinion.
My woodworking journey started when I was quoted $2500 to fix my porch railings. $1000 in materials, $1000 in tools mix in youtube tutorials and patience and now I'm hooked. The sliding compound mitre saw was the life changing tool for me. It was what was holding me back all these years from doing my own projects. I was always outsourcing this type of work for simply the cutting of lumber and thought I could do better than what I paid for. My railings turned out really well and mercifully passed the wife approval test.
Ah, I didn't realize they brought back /r/gundeals.
So then the issue is who has this data, because algorithms are increasingly becoming commodity. Right now the biggest databases are superpowers, big tech , and ordinary countries. One way to remove the competitive advantage of any good or bad actor, is to make the data commonplace, in order to render it worthless, in order to remove the incentive for so much spying.

Please google "affordable housing crisis united states". The first 40 or so stories paint a decent enough picture so I won't link them here.

Young middle class white people can't find a house in San Francisco, sure, but that's not the major problem. Most of the housing problems are in places that are not desireable, and there are a myriad of different causes.

> There are plenty of less desirable places with cheap housing and ok paying jobs.

Not even remotely enough to fulfill all the low income housing needs in the US. Even if there were, people wouldn't be able to go there anyway, because they don't have disposable income, and there's no "let me uproot your life with $20,000 you don't have to pay back" fairies flying around.

I wonder what their criteria is for "inclusive". My current company has a lot of surface level diversity that most people look for, but I feel isolated because I went to the military while the vast majority of other employees went to college.

In the Wine project, which dates back to the mid-90s, we still use a mailing list for patch submission[1]. Every year we get some complaints that it's hard to use, and that we should switch to GitHub or set up a GitLab instance or something to encourage more submissions. And maybe we should. But it does keep out crap like this. Wine's a fairly high profile project, especially among "low-information" users. Would the increase in useful submissions justify the cost of having to deal with low-quality submissions? Are there any devs out there who both can hack on Wine and can't figure out an email client? I don't know.

Similar experience here. I have a Series 4, and charge it on an evening when I'm not doing much for about 30/40 mins and it's good for another 24 hours.
The new sleep tracking feature asks for 30% battery life before being enabled, and lets you know in advance if you need to charge. Before Apple added that feature to the OS I was using the Pillow app and that would happily blow through 80% of the battery in a night.

Overall the device has been a massive net positive for my health, I really love it.
Anything you do, the more time you put into it the better you will be. This is true of a workplace, or a hobby. If there is a competition somewhere, more hours with usually translate to higher performance, and moving up in the hierarchy.

This is not a conditioning of the tech world, or even "companies" in the legal sense, this is true of almost an system in the world. I imagine someone working extra hours and hard in the chinese communist party also has a higher chance of moving up.

In fact, not so long ago, it was finance and big banks where people famously slept on the office floor and worked 20 hour days as juniors, and that only got slightly better as you moved up.

Men and women all have a personal choice about how much energy they put into what. That can be your job, your hobby, or your family. You have to choose what aligns with your goals.

Are there differences in goals for men and women? I'll leave that as an open question, as I don't want to get into this controversial area.

But to suggest this is some unique thing to 21st century tech, is not really true. How many hours do you think people spend farming or hunting thousands of years ago?
I personally find IFTTT useful for a few basic home automation things. I probably could write some code to do it myself, but it's much faster so for things that aren't super important to me, I might not do them at all if I didn't have IFTTT. Now that they allow multiple triggers and filter code, it does most of what I want without having to run anything myself.
I see how you're thinking about it. In your experience does this chemical process transfer from seawater to atmosphere? I'd love to learn about the details of this process based on your expertise. I've only taken public high school chemistry & it's been a while so I consider myself here a total novice.

From a logical perspective though, to me this has to be a net production of energy reaction though since otherwise it wouldn't be extending the operational time (an external power source would be needed & thus you may as well just use that power source to power your ship).

My guess would have been that the seawater -> CO2 + Hydrogen conversion is the part that produces the energy needed for the rest of the process as I would think CO2 -> CO1 -> liquidcarbons requires energy somewhere or is at best roughly neutral with a mix of +/- steps. I could easily be wrong there though in that assumption (again, don't know these reactions).

If that is actually a correct guess, I would have expect CO2 density differential between air & seawater to be a critical component. I then checked CO2 for density and water on Google [1]: 1.98 kg/m^3 in air, 997 kg/m^3 in water (didn't know these densities in advance of making my hypothesis).

This is a wild guess on all fronts, but given the magnitudes involved & how much fuel it requires to power ships (i.e. how much CO2 you'd need to extract from seawater to turn it into liquidcarbons to power a ship), that disparity in density would seem crucial to being able to produce the fuel at all.

Even without that, from a physical aspect, I would think the combination of density & how long the process takes could be the next limiting factors even if it did map. The 1000x disparity in density would mean that you could need 1000x the volume to produce the same amount of liquidcarbon fuel. Now of course there are differences between the use-cases that will alter the needs but I don't have an intuition if it would increase or decrease net, and if it were to decreae, would it be sufficient to make the disparity manageable. Would love your thoughts on this nuance.
>My own conclusion from reading it is that few things really make difference: 1. Charters have strict discipline, violence etc is not tolerated in any form. Public school in bad areas are chaos 2. Schools can easily fire teachers who do not perform well. In public school system you need to rape or murder someone to get fired. 3. Shitty charter schools lose their charter and go out of business

Interesting. Do you think it would be possible to have a prototype language that compiled to Rust and used this algorithm to wrap values in an Arc<T> ?

How does Lobster handle mutation? The Rust type system can make some pretty cool guarantees about code.

Speaking as an owner of a small car (Honda Civic), and 3 children in need of car seats (a Slimfit Graco which is a bit wider then the one you listed, but 2 of them are now in boosters which are narrower to begin with.) The problem isn't always pure width.

The rear seats in are contoured, for comfort reasons, in such a way that you need to put things under one side of the seat to level them out properly. And then the seats are so close together that leaving access to the seatbelt sockets for the children in boosters to access. So simplistic looks like this give you a really inaccurate picture of the problem.

I will also go further and say that even in larger vehicles getting 3 seats across any single row is hard. Adding a 3rd row doesn't even necessarily solve all of the problems if there isn't an easy path out if you have two kids needing 5 point harnesses done by the parent. Those seats block the folding exit mechanism that a lot of 3rd row vehicles use to let passengers in the rear row exit. You would have to remove a seat entirely to let that action work.
