> Unfortunately, the Apple III was a business failure due to reliability issues and competition from the IBM PC introduced a year later.

Curious about these reliability issues, this prompted me to read more about the Apple III on Wikipedia and it's quite interesting:

> There was way too short a time frame in manufacturing and development. When the decision was made to announce, there were only three Apple IIIs in existence, and they were all wire-wrapped boards.

> The case of the Apple III had long since been set in concrete, so they had a certain size logic board to fit the circuits on ... They went to three different outside houses and nobody could get a layout that would fit on the board.

> They used the smallest line circuit boards that could be used. They ran about 1,000 of these boards as preproduction units to give to the dealers as demonstration units. They really didn't work ... Apple swapped out the boards. The problem was, at this point there were other problems, things like chips that didn't fit. There were a million problems that you would normally take care of when you do your preproduction and pilot run. Basically, customers were shipped the pilot run.

Ask HN: Are You a Gun Owner?
Regardless of yes/no/don’t want to answer: what is your opinion about second amendment?
HN intentionally removes “emoji-type” characters (I don’t know what the exact criteria are, it’s definitely more complicated than which plane the character is on) from posts. The only time I’ve seen this cause issues is when trying to discuss Unicode itself; presumably the moderators decided this is an acceptable tradeoff.
'Waste' is the wrong way to look at it. It's like someone looking at the human body and complaining about the huge amount of energy spent collecting waste from the body and passing it out via the urinary tract. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the body didn't generate any waste in the first place and thus didn't need a urinary tract in the first place?

The problem with this scenario is that it is unrealistic, just like assuming there is a way of having an absolutely peaceful world.

A planet with billions of agents each who are moderately self-interested will result in the agents trying to take things from each other by force. To protect themselves, the agents form groups and aggregate their resources, using them to produce war-making abilities that can deter other agents. 'Tis the way of the world.

The wonderful thing is how far we've come in making the world safer over the last 2000 years. In the west we have a largely functional police force and judiciary that will protect and provide justice to every citizen regardless of their political influence

As compared to 2000 years ago of course, as compared to some utopian ideal we have a long way to go, as recent news in the US shows :)
It's of course subjective, but I've recently rediscovered an old browser-based game from around 2000, pure PHP, zero javascript, zero development in a decade. Just fast-loading websites representing an updated game-state of travelling through space, mining and fighting in real time. Perfect.

If you comment on reddit, don't you watch the page to confirm your comment went up? So not necessarily a productivity gain through Javascript. Conscious reloading is nice as there is no distraction: You take an action to see new state like login, new messages and notifications. Again, totally subjective.

There were plenty of games made with Flash, so game dev tools were developed independent of ad-tech.

This anecdote actually makes me a lot more confident the tool might work. The article sounded to me like they just threw something at the wall, and it's not that hard to get a model that looks good on paper when you take the liberties they did.

I agree with nearly everything you've said, except I would suggest that the maintainer himself started the framing of him as The Bad Guy.

The thread has changed a lot since I first saw it, but right out of the gate the issuer opener was matter of fact and mostly respectful, and the maintainer called him a spammer and a troll and deleted his and other's stuff.

I can't imagine you could do much better if you wanted people to think you're The Bad Guy.

The 10:1 bits/bytes ratio common in some kinds of equipment is in fact a 5:4 encoding to make it easier to detect bit boundaries and to avoid various electrical problems with the signal.

Modems used to do this too. The 'cheat' is that they report Layer 1 bandwidth, which is a completely useless number to the end user. The bulk of the loss occurs between Layer 1 and Layer 2 (with dribs and drabs for packet headers and so forth)

Ok, why was the mixed economy of the US able to produce all those weapons and all those consumer goods and feed and clothe their people while the command economy of the USSR couldn't compete on any one of those fronts?

Oil prices is a distraction from the issue because if the USSR had been able to sell petroleum at a premium then they would have been able to purchase raw materials and finished products from market economies elsewhere and perhaps sustained the system for longer but it doesn't explain why they were reliant on an extraction industry and market-produced goods.
It has nothing to do with people having a squeaky clean legacy.

If a world famous celebrity uses the megaphone of a televised interview to double down on and expand on views that it’s ok to slap women, that is a huge, dramatic event. That’s not just some small “we all make mistakes” transgression to be forgiven while we remember that person at his best. It is a huge, intentional literal broadcast of a very harmful belief, that we should not minimize or ignore or even set aside to remember other things about them, due to its level of severity and the sustained commitment to it over years that he displayed.

I think it’s very specious and very disingenuous to try to bring in any type of “let he who is sinless cast the first stone” or “let’s remember the good with the bad because he is only human” type of defense. That is just not acceptable in a case like this.

That's a great ideal to strive for, but it's unrealistic. Driving is unsafe. People die all the time on the roads. The benefits of driverless cars mean that they will never be held to a higher standard than human drivers.
The context is that someone asked for source and the maintainer lied: https://github.com/ovity/octotree/issues/1038#issuecomment-7...

1. That wasn't what was being challenged. The challenge was whether there was, in fact, a "complete rewrite", since the output files matched the AGPL source 1:1.

2. Do you mean me (Christian Bundy)? I asked a question because I was unhappy seeing the maintainer lie to one of my friends about the "complete rewrite". Lies bad, truth good. The licensing is the reason for the lie, not the reason for the investigation.
Oh, he handles this situation very poorly, no question about that. That doesn't change the fact that he and his team wrote the vast majority of the original code. The long list of contributors does not reflect that.

I really don't understand how so many smart people are repeating this argument over and over. it's one the most flawed arguments that was used by Elon Musk to sell his lack of ability to retrofit lidars in every single car.

We also got a single brain, so why can a computer not do what we do?
I think it is you who missed a point, and don't have a sensible definition of "just" in "just a tool".

It's "just" a tool because it is not good or bad by itself, and does not even favor good or bad employment.

If you have a problem with a bad use of science, then you have a problem with a bad user of science.

By contrast, it's not like saying some deadly poison is "just a chemical" that might possibly have one or two possibly good uses but is otherwise entirely a bad thing that we could all live without if it were erased from the world.

Science is nothing but codified rationality.

There is no possible way to twist irrationality into being prefferable to rationality. And so there is no slightest trace of a valid argument that science is a problem that should be disfavored.

Yes it is in fact "just" a tool.

The human experience doesn't change this at all.

You don't need science to rationalize removing the top half of a chimpanzee skull. People who will do a thing, will do a thing with any tool. Science, religion, politics, "think of the children", plain might, anything.
We debated internally about what this would look like, and in the end we decided that should the need arise, the process would be:

1. A commit to plainly remove the functionality (or lines of code)

2. A developer would rewrite the code with a set of variables they cannot use, but I suppose they'd also code without the original implementation as reference.

Each individual developer's implementation should be different enough that it would be easy to tell that it was independent crafted, although something like this hasn't been tested in court (at least to my knowledge!)

Replying to myself after a very brief search (IANAL, so responsible readers should be skeptical).

Good point... The realization that chaotic systems are ubiquitous, and that many physical phenomena (motion of the planets, how chemical interactions work at the electron level etc) can't be modeled analytically (so far as we know) was a big upset to mathematics and science, and still isn't addressed well in school curriculum.

To expand on your main point: A loose, but appropriate analogy is that FP appeals to programmers in the way analytic solutions appeal to mathematicians and scientists: Neat, ideal, beautiful... but a poor fit for many practical problems.
> AI with good enough training

This is the crux of the issue. If we had AI that could outperform human drivers and make our roads safer then I'd agree that we should use it. But I see no indication that this is the case, or that it's even technologically possible at this point.

Tesla can make whatever claims they want, but until their self driving systems have been independently and rigorously tested they shouldn't be anywhere near public roads. Have such tests happened yet? The article doesn't mention any, so I assume that they haven't.
Depends on your license.
Thanks! We did this with guidance from a lawyer, but didn't check to see how other projects handled it. I'm glad to see we followed the lead of other similar projects.

They are certainly not a minority in Europe, where this happened, and which is the context of the message I was replying to.

They may not be a minority on certain French suburbs, maybe on the place where this happened? They are obviously not a minority on the very street where the described "hunt" is taking place.

Along the nested hierarchy of subsets of Europe that are in question, "France" may be the sole level at which they can be bona-fide called a minority.
Analogous to the ‘serverless’ platforms, there are many companies selling shared PHP hosting, so you can just upload your code and expect it to work without worrying about security updates, service management, configuring TLS, etc.
I don't understand that attitude - truly. Yes humanity might never get to another solar system, but then I am never going to walk on the Moon - it still looks beautiful in the night sky and the dream of getting there drove half of all science for centuries.

We can make this ant colony better today.
Normally, you'd expect people demanding awkward and massive social change to show evidence that it works and isn't dangerous. You should not invert this by demanding people prove things don't work and aren't dangerous; that way lies madness.

But at any rate, we can see for ourselves how great an impact those mask mandates had:

https://rationalground.com/mask-charts/

https://swprs.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/france-masks-ca...

https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/29/these-12-graphs-show-ma...

Mask mandates don't seem to be associated with any impact on the graphs of positive test results, anywhere. If they don't work then they should not be used for all kinds of reasons, dangerousness is by no means the only factor that should determine decisions. Consider also cost, impact on the environment, choking hazards, comfort, psychological distress created by the appearance of fear and so on.

But as some of the writing on this acknowledges, masks long ago became purely political, so we should expect people to keep arguing from different assumptions and not agreeing.

Certainly the USSR made other mistakes besides price controls, the point is that without market-generated prices, they had no way of knowing which goods were in higher demand relative to their supply in order to invest capital resources in producing those. Many Soviet goods were of high quality but the planners still sought pricing information from their western rivals in order to allocate capital.
IANAL, but my understanding is that if their contribution is a derivative work (as most would clearly be), they would be subject to the same license restrictions that restricted their access to the original project. I.e. they had no permission to create the derivative work, and thus no right to release it under any license. If the contribution isn't a derivative work, then the project shouldn't be accepting it without a copyright assignment or license.
Same here. Everytime I get a chance to breathe I get another lucrative "can you come fix this legacy php app?" request even though I have a day job making new angular / .net core applications.
Not only that. Good code should be easy to throw away without major effort.

> Do we have, now, renewable energy plants that are capable of delivering a constant amount of energy by storing the excess production?

As long as we are burning fossil fuels (and in particular natural gas) it doesn't make much sense to build such things, even if we could. The natural gas provides pre-stored energy.
This is not true: person B owns the copyright to his/her contributions. As soon as person B added code, the copyright of the project no longer belonged solely to person A. And that's not a matter of opinion but legal fact.

It would however be possible for person A to remove all contributions of person B (and possibly rewrite the same functionality).
How does investing tons of valuable money and man hours into investigating said probably pointless rock make our any colony better today?
Your response here is very poor. In the present discussion the correct analogy with Connery’s behavior would not be that the rapist served the sentence, but that they served the sentence and after they got released, went on a nationally televised news program and stated unequivocally that they did not regret what they did and in fact believed that their victim “wouldn’t shut up” which in some sense meant the victim brought it on themselves.

If someone did that, they deserve to have those words brought up and used to identify their poor character, regardless of whether they “served their time.”

Just as in Connery’s behavior - he doubled down on saying (extremely publicly) that he was ok with women being slapped and gave some extremely contrived misogynistic reasoning about what they could do to deserve it. Connery didn’t just say that and then later apologize or clear the record. He said it once, then years later said it again in response to a direct interview question about that exact topic, and doubled down on not changing his mind, and then never in the rest of his life did he explicitly apologize or retract it.

That is such a forceful application of misogyny that it goes beyond an unfortunate character flaw we should overlook and instead is borderline a defining characteristic of his legacy.
> I think I get less interested in self-driving cars the closer we seem to get to them. It honestly just stresses me out.

That's probably a reasonable response. These things have the nasty feature that they both require less input from the driver the more sophisticated they get, but also that they require more _attention_ from the driver the more sophisticated they get (a boring old cruise control system won't abruptly swerve into a concrete road divider, but a high Level 2 system will). And humans just don't work like this. "Don't do anything, but be ready to take control within a second or so when it does something insane" is not something we're good at.

The big problem is diseconomies of scale in construction and operation. They require more material per MW of power, and more staff too. The story is that economies of scale of manufacture, and changes to regulations about operation, can counter this, but that remains to be demonstrated.
Fantastic quibble - I stand corrected (I had Hubble in mind but did not know the 20+ planets part.)

How long until owners of autonomous vehicles (or vehicles with autonomous mode) demand libre software so that they (or the tech wizards they hire) can make sure there are functional off switches. Otherwise the AI overlords win.
Maybe EU auto makers just wait, meaning work on something, until they can put something on the market that works. After watching some hours of youtube footage I can say one thing for sure: Teslas' FSD does not.
To what purpose though? If you can steer a mass as big as a Earth sized planet then you might as well build a custom rig with all the trappings of First Class travel.
