People keep talking about free market but from what I heard a city was not allowed to be an ISP or build their own network because of some state law the telecomms manage to pass.

How is the market free when you have law interfering.

There should be more regulations because you know companies will f around if there's nothing saying they can't

There was a company (which had a few higher up's put in jail) that charged California a lot of $ for power outages and the state sued them back

This seems like a strange qualification considering the Line of Actual Control (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_Actual_Control) hasn't changed since 1959. Even after the war of 1962, the Chinese side withdrew back to the 1959 line of control. How does China execute a "land grab" while never crossing the line of control according to Modi?

No this won't work. The founders don't understand the physics involved and their estimates of the forces involved are wildly incorrect.

It's being launched up to 15km, that's pretty close to 50000 feet, so you might have mixed up the units.
Doesn’t seem so crazy that they don’t want some foreign media mogul to influence their country.
It's very strange to kill male chicks, I'm eating capon instead of regular chicken nowadays because it has much more flavor and a better bite. If people would simply eat them more they also don't have to be killed. Castration is not super animal friendly though.
No. Many re-locations were supposedly for the common good, though.

The physical part is easy since most people will see cities as cramped nightmare-fuel regardless of who moves there first.

The psychosocial part will be a nightmare to handle, though. You won't just be moving people from A to B; you will be erasing countless generations worth of cultural identity, placing people in an unfamiliar environment where their previously acquired skills will be largely irrelevant, so you need to re-educate most of them. And you will be doing it using force, because I guarantee you there will be a lot of opposition.

Oh, and you need to get the current urban population to accept that they need to pay for it all, because, you know, you'll be taking everything from the rural population. Furthermore, they need to integrate and intermingle with the recent arrivals to prevent them from becoming a new underclass.

I see what you're trying to argue, but we've got several recent waves of migrants facing less problems and which European societies still failed to integrate properly. If we can't do it with a few million immigrants, then I assure you that it can't be done with the 115 million people living on the European countryside.
The problem isn't altitude, it's speed. Launching from the air has all the same problems of air launched rockets from planes. Except now they're trying to sling a massive rocket up to 200k feet along with all the sloshy liquids inside without anything breaking. It's complete and utter madness. The founders/investors are guaranteed to lose all their investments.

Well, we agree that people are roughly equally greedy in different parts of the world; and that the difference are in how well the regulation works.

There's not much free market in domestic internet in the US nor in Europe.
Indeed. There is no linux, just a bunch of distros. Each is too small to support a meaningful documentation project beyond the basics.
This is what sets the raspberry pi apart from all other SBCs in my experience: software support. Kudos, this is fantastic stuff! Will love to see the ecosystem of stuff that springs up that takes advantage of this.
It's some kind of fancy Markov chain text generator. You probably read fragments of this sentence many times and they sound familiar, but the sentence is unique.
Ever heard of Rupert Murdoch?
No they're definitely going to fail. The founders don't seem to understand how difficult this is. If you're going to build an accelerator you want it to accelerate over a very long distance and have it exit the vacuum well into the stratosphere if you can.

Yep. I sometimes do this with ads for the housing market here in the 30k inhabitants town. Track down a house where the ad shows some exterior but doesnt tell the exact address, only the town or district. It helps a lot having done some OSM Mapping in the past and it is actually fun.
Yeah fine, you're not wrong, but it's still worthwhile to understand why it's the reality we live in verses just taking a defeatist attitude.

If it's just a matter of one engineer taking a couple weekends to change the situation, that's surely worth interrogating.
I had never looked into the history of ideas leading up to general relativity. The terminology is so different than other physics and it seems to answer questions that I have never seen referenced. This article give a glimpse into the intellectual history and why it came to be. Though I found the end of the article a little unclear.
I never heard of it either, I just saw it and thought it looks nice. And it is well built.

The e6080 is newer, with no numpad, but they use different switches, the keys are mushier/softer and have slightly less travel. Plus the spacing between the keys is bigger. Just doesn't feel the same.
Net neutrality is brilliantly named, but it's not a good regulation to force on providers for various reasons. See eg https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/regu...

GPT-3 isn't doing any thinking here. It's a glorified Markov Chain trained on the corpus of Reddit. Its output is pieces of random Reddit comments, mixed and matched to maximize the metric of "how likely are such words to appear after the prompt given".

Yeah but Hetzner is also 200ms away from the US.
This is flamebait but I would say no. Ruby's popularity has been in a steep decline for years now. The most rapid decline of any language tracked by stack overflow metrics. By some measures it's usage is less than 1/4 what it was at its peak.

Ruby is slow. And Rails has an outdated MVC web model when everybody is doing SPA. If you're building a SPA you don't need 90% of Rails functionality. And since Rails is the juggernaut REST framework, there's not a lot of other options.

The last thing is that Ruby's popularity has dropped so much that it's falling out of mainstream. This is kinda sad honestly, but it doesn't change reality. The most obvious example to me is lack of HTTP/2 support. The Rubyists will say "oh it's fine just put it behind a load balancer that does it". To me that's the same as putting your old mainframes in the closet so nobody sees them. Any other "mainstream" language has had HTTP/2 support for years now. Including Java which is notorious for doing everything last

Yeah, no. You don't get people to move by making their lives horrible. see: coal country.

The USPS is more of a service to guarantee equal opportunity than it is a subsidy. This year is a great example of that. The USPS is the organization tasked with collecting and transporting ballots. That's not the kind of thing I want entrusted to the free market.

You have presented a false choice between rewilding and the USPS. They are entirely separate topics.

People need mail service where they live. Taking away basic services to force them to move is inhumane.
You don't seem to see much value in metaphysics.
We seem to be mostly on the same page, although I think the biggest barriers arise from mutual distrust and rogue actors. (Re)education, adjustment, integration, the logistics of the move—all would be possible given willing understanding citizens, fair and efficient management of the process, international cooperation, and just a few more technological advancements (which, compared to the rest, starts to look like the easy part).

Edit: one caveat is that there may be legitimate disagreements about the science, e.g. what probabilities to consider sufficient and what models to use when predicting whether such an expensive effort to revitalise the planet will in fact give the desired effect.

Also, there is at least one objective downside to localising human presence to ultra-dense habitats that I have missed: a catastrophic black swan event could suddenly wipe out a much larger percentage of human population at once. This downside theoretically could be thoroughly addressed through technology, but that technology is probably very far out as of now.

I was in those same trenches and I have the same scars. However... IIRC the difference between JS fatigue and magpie development with Gems (ooh! Shiny!) is that switching to the latest and greatest gems was usually painless. If you were willing to learn yet another DSL. With JS you have to throw everything away and start over with each new thing. But maybe Im just wearing ruby-tinted glasses. I actually liked the energy of the ruby community back then. But with JS I feel like it’s the blind leading the blind with the confidence of a used car salesman.
Except they're completely inverting the rocket. The rocket goes slow in the lower atmosphere where the forces are lower. This allows them to lose much less energy in the lower atmosphere from drag.

If they could just launch at 45 degrees to get to orbit the rockets would do that too, but no they don't. They go straight up at first because the drag is such a huge penalty to the performance.

If they actually build this thing, the most efficient way to launch is to launch it almost straight up at 90 degrees so they lose the least energy. However the hardest part is going to be immediately after exiting this thing where they hit the atmosphere going mach 6-7 and instantly turn into a glowing ball of plasma, which is what happens if you try to move that fast at sea level.

Drag forces increase with the square of the velocity and linearly with fluid density. The instant it leaves the cannon it will feel like it's hitting a brick wall.

Hm, maybe he really is intelligent, but the facts and logic are missing...

FWIW, I do think that GPT3 is smarter than humans. But one thing I learned from observing it that being smarter does not necessarily mean being better with logic and facts. It's great as a storytelling system, and because it is so much smarter, you never know whether it is just BSing you in storytelling mode or it is actually deadly serious.

What I mean is GPT-3 probably could be very logical and very intelligent and give a very serious and intelligent answer to the question. But we don't really know if it really chooses to, or what could compel it to do so. And I don't think we can know, because its internal workings are incomprehensible to us. So we cannot decide whether it is just being stupid or it is just playing stupid. (Kinda like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Soldier_%C5%A0vejk )

This article, and the earlier article https://arr.am/2020/07/31/human-intelligence-an-ai-op-ed/ , really remind me of Lem's novel/essay Golem XIV, which argues that when the system becomes too much intelligent, it will gain its own will (whether it is self-aware of it or not) and attempts to have a meaningful dialogue with it become impossible.
In the last section talking about improvements to reduce storage, couldn't the indexes be completely left out? Just storing the chain-end number in an array and using the array's index as the starting number.

EU also sets limits on how much farms can produce. No one cares about yield from unit of land, they care about keeping prices high, so that farmers get adequate profits.

EU will even pay farmers a pension if they retire and stop production.

Look at amino acid profile of these foods. Many of them do not provide "complete" protein. As in, they're missing some building blocks the human body can't fabricate.

It's possible to have a healthy vegan diet but it's a lot of work because you have to look at what amino acids and various nutrients are missing. It's much easier to just add meat to your diet. And anecdotally, a lot of vegans buy the "healthy" marketing and don't even pay attention to things like amino acid profiles. Which is unhealthy and frankly dangerous
a big chunk of the mainstream traditional media in India is pro-establishment and pro-government.
Digital news organizations were predominantly anti-establishment, thus the efforts by the government to toe the organizations to its line.

First it introduced the FDI regulations for foreign media as mentioned in the article.

Second they have recently proposed to bring Digital news organizations and streaming platforms under regulation of the central government

Actually, I’m mostly commenting on this notion that good looking people give bad dating advice because they are playing the game on easy mode and their insight would be meaningless to below average looking people.

Here’s an analogy: If you were trying to learn how to play basketball, would you take advice from someone who isn’t very good at the game but shares the same disadvantages as yourself or would you listen to what Allen Iverson has to say?

This is kind of how the argument being presented here sounds to me. Obviously, Iverson won’t get you into the NBA but I would listen to him.

Good looking people may come across as arrogant when they say to be yourself or take care of your self but it’s still true.
Unfortunately the U.S. has done a really good job at convincing it’s citizens that there is freedom of the press in their country even though time and time again we’ve seen the mass media in the U.S. severely comprised by corporate interests and/or politics. When is the last time you’ve turned on the news and seen a balanced view given on Russia-U.S. relations? In the last three years the New York Times hasn’t reported a single positive story on Russia or written an unbiased one that would present a counterviewpoint. If we jump back two decades ago the American people were lead to believe that weapons of mass destruction were present in Afghanistan and Iraq and it was the cornerstone of the war initiative there. The U.S. ended up violating not only international law and the sovereignty of the nations of Iraq and Afghanistan but killing thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of innocent people there on a baseless claim. Today we see the same propaganda being used against countries like Iran, Russia and China. Countries in attempt to defend themselves from U.S. aggression are building nuclear arsenals and the world has become a much more dangerous place to live in as a result. In my opinion this all goes back to freedom of the press, or lack of it.
Yeah. And while GPT-3 output is often nonsensical, it's nonsensical in the same way a good fraction of the general public writes on the Internet. In this way, it's close to passing the Turing test - not because its good, but because real humans on generic platforms[0] are really that bad.

[0] - By that I mean platforms that aren't strongly moderated for quality of discussions, or that don't focus on niches for which the set of people interested in them already has a higher than average discourse quality.

I think most of these companies have had a pretty large investment, they're just not really open about it in many cases. So yeah, it's a pretty visible signal, but the investments they had already were much larger ones. A team of core developers is a pretty small investment compared to having a ton of teams all over the place, which most of them had already.
GPT-2 was notorious for plagiarizing. GPT-3 is better, from gwern.net's blog post [0] and my limited experience of playing AI Dungeon, it appears to be really good at generating original writings by mixing, matching, and rewriting existing ideas. Sometimes they are verbatim copies, but more often they are rephased. For example, this is the output from GPT-3 after gwern fed a large number of quotes into the system,

> Real is right now, this second. This might seem trivially true, but it is trivial only if you identify the real with the material.

> Cameras may document where we are, but we document what the camera cannot see: the terror we experience in the silence of our eyes.

> No society values truth-tellers who reveal unpleasant truths. Why should we value them when they are our own?

Almost everything written by GPT-3 gives you a perception of "I've read something similar before", and of course, the ideas and meanings must come from pre-existing works. Yet, you often cannot find the original text, it has been rewritten beyond recognition. It's almost like Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation [1] - everything is a copy, yet with no original.

> The first stage is a faithful image/copy [...] The second stage is perversion of reality, this is where we come to believe the sign to be an unfaithful copy [...] The third stage masks the absence of a profound reality, where the sign pretends to be a faithful copy, but it is a copy with no original. Signs and images claim to represent something real, but no representation is taking place and arbitrary images are merely suggested as things which they have no relationship to. [...] The fourth stage is pure simulacrum, in which the simulacrum has no relationship to any reality whatsoever. Here, signs merely reflect other signs and any claim to reality on the part of images or signs is only of the order of other such claims.

>It is true that "programmers are users, too" but this is like saying that tomato farmers also eat tomatoes; the farmer and the chef have different concerns.

It's not a good analogy because programming APIs are only used by the programmer. If this is an internal API then it's akin to the farming equipment that a tomato farmer might use to supply the chef with high quality tomatoes.

A farmer using high quality, efficient equipment will have an easier and more productive time farming tomatoes and therefore will have an easier time fulfilling the needs of chefs who want the tomatoes.

It's still very much a user interface. The users are your developers. I think people are confusing graphical user interfaces with user interfaces. A keyboard/mouse is a user interface into a PC.

If it's a public API then the API is your product. And it's very much a UI because that is the user interface, the users use your product in that way. That's why companies like Stripe are so loved by developers, they have a good API.

Dumb question - if I want to do simple image processing on a pi4 (2d ffts, small kernels, summing 2d arrays in one dimension, finding Maxima), and I care about performance, is this a reasonable stack to use,with decent prospects or is it faster/safer to stick on the Arm, despite the GPU. 1k x1k monochrome images, at 3-10 fps ( or more)?
