It sounds like the scenario you are imagining is something like us building a colony on Mars dependent on the Earth, and some time after having a situation where the colony must become self-sustaining or go extinct. I would say that, unless the colony has a few more hundred years of contact with the Earth to prepare for this, it will go extinct with 100% certainty.

The amount of resources and people that you would need for a colony on Mars to survive indefinitely without imports from Earth is staggering. You would need all of the highest tech industries from Earth (certainly chip fabs and robotics), large mining operations, smelters. You would need enough population to man all of these (or automation on a scale we are very far from, that could entirely handle factories and self-maintenance), and enough agriculture for this population. And you would have to do all of this with no access to fossil fuels - which also means no plastics and no access to many common lubricants. And of course, all of these things would have to be built underground, with huge tunnel boring operations required for any expansion.

This may all seem possible from a physics perspective, but it is something that would have to be planned for generations in advance, well outside of our realistic civil engineering capabilities at least. And since doing all of this with the hundred million people that would be required with today's industrial practices would likely complicate things a lot more on Mars, you would need automation at a level that our robotics engineering is still very far from.

It all seems possible to some extent, but definitely not something that could happen during a catastrophe, and absolutely not something that could happen without all of the bases being laid out from Earth (that is, it is impossible for a colony that was not designed and prepared from Earth to be fully self-sustaining to become self-sustaining once on Mars out of necessity).

Curious how Doctorow justifies the practice of disemvoweling, a passive aggressive form of censorship that boing boing used to silence people they didn't agree with but who weren't violating the terms of service of the site. Also wonder how all of this fits in the depersoning of Violet Blue from boing boing.

pywebview's About page says:

> pywebview is a lightweight cross-platform wrapper around a webview component that allows to display HTML content in its own native GUI window. You may think of as Electron for Python (minus huge executable sizes). It gives you power of web technologies in your desktop application, hiding the fact that GUI is browser based.

It's still as bad as electron and calling it native is a stretch.

I think the idea of the 100,000 years of memory is plausible, but I think it's likely to persist because the number seven seems to be universally important to humans.

People could potentially have superimposed the number seven on the story, as per the rainbow's seven colours and Newton.

By and large people don't pay to use social media, so while a person uses power even if the utility company doesn't like it, they are still compensated.

If someone is using social media for reasons/things they don't like, they're now going to take the publicity hit for hosting it, while also paying to host it against their will.

I'd have more sympathy for the argument if the people forcing the hosting of content against the SMCs will had some system for compensating the SMC as well.
I must say the Singularity Hub web presence looks snake-oily to me.
Why do they call it a "university"? Why do they call some of the members "faculty"?
Why do they claim Ray Kurzweil has "a thirty-year track record of accurate predictions"? (https://singularityhub.com/experts/)

Any idea why they brand it like this? Who is supposed to take this seriously?

I'm EU-based and here you're not allowed to claim that your organization is a university if it is not recognized by the state as such (roughly speaking).
And in 10 minutes you grab a new domain and it's back up. You change the config setting in your app to use the new domain and, boom, done.

That's the point, it's a sacrificial domain. If you lose it you don't care, it's not your brand.
Hmm. Alright I'll buy that. That is at least a sensible reason why this reached front page.

It still disgusts me that we are elevating random tweets from this guy to being major news. Please can we elevate tiny ideas of people who know wtf they are talking about to an equal level?
You misunderstand my comment. I was replying to a comment that implied that you were asking permission of the device manufacturer/OS maker, which is typically the relevant gatekeeper when talking about sideloading apps.

But here, it's not about that. It's about having paid for an iOS app and thinking that you now have the right to run it on a completely different type of device, and also presumably on many more devices (given how Apple allows installs for any device hooked to a given Apple ID).

Honestly, I'm shocked that so many people on HN are downvoting my comment that emphasizes the rights of software developers to not have their proprietary software used on device types that they were never meant to run on.
So it's doa because it shedded some fairly major legacy tech debt in npm and the commonJS format?

While I have concerns about the dependency management style of deno being looser than node's package.json, I do think it is a net positive with realigning to "web standard library" over reinventing interfaces for everything.
If I was working in a lab and my experiment turned a deep blue I'd say "cool!" and move on. I didn't know that discovering a new color was something meaningful.

I wonder who told these scientists "stop what you're doing you've just discovered a new pigment".

I also found this looking through github issues. It's not only a know issue, it's a WONTFIX:

>> This also brings up a good point. If sway detects that swaylock (or whatever locking process is used) didn't exit cleanly, it should try and recreate it, so we don't just end up giving the a malicious user access to the session.

On the contrary, people care very much about the OS and they want iOS.
And yet at the end of the day we don't hear about a mass exodus to matrix.

We don't even know if the main @matrix.org server would have held and if federation would have keep working.

Not worth the cost? How much did whatsapp cost to Facebook? How much did whatsapp cost before that?

Matrix is also running on free and so far we have hosted server offerings but no single individual account offer.
Tanks are fully legal to own. So are the cannons. Not thinking a tank is a good buy doesn’t make a gun rights advocate any less of a foundation issues voter.

I’m pretty sure you dismissing the conversation I reported as “identity politics” is exactly what the argument was warning against; people misreading opponents of gun control as some surface level thing that can be hand waved away.

Also, “identity politics” isn’t right. No one is born a gun owner, nor can you identify one in a line up or nod to one walking down the street unless they want you to know they are “one of us”. Nor does owning a gun preclude you from another group like being white or black might, although there is a long running AK vs AR debate, but I think that’s pretty much been settled!

I use at home since many years just Fujitsu Notebooks and also have an W550 workstation. Also for my mom, I bought for her many years ago a Fujitsu Notebook.
They come without any bloatware and just run and run forever. The design is nice, I like hiw they have mostly a red line over the device. But they are not cheap to buy.
I bought lately an U939X notebook and he is really light, but still everithing (touch and pen) works also with Linux.

It would be nice to have a self hosted server that you can use with some friends. example: Me and 2 other friends use our own server while with my parents use signal server.
Well in my experience people who don't complain about the App store never used any other app store in their life. For what I know they even think that the app store is Apple's invention.
I don't think we need this kind of hocus pocus to explain this.

Frist candidate for an explanation:

* Stories get passed on and some are surprisingly stable.

Second candidate for an explanation:

* The underpinnings of the architecture of the mind cause the same stories to (re?)surface everywhere.

Let's use occams razor.

(I don't claim this argument disproves the "theory" of archetypes. But we should not jump to conclusions when applying it out of context.).
I don't know... This argument makes sense to me in theory but in practice I find it hard to implement successfully, as someone who manages a medium-sized online community. It reminds me of the "You only need 1000 good customers" article. Sure, but unless you bring in 100K you're not going to find those 1000.

So then we implement artificial barriers to entry but at the cost of destroying all the diversity in your community which I think is also essential, and instead of the 1000 good members you have 100 and they're all clones.

As a result I've opted for the opposite approach where I'm very welcoming to everyone and try to only get rid of the worst of the worst, and we have a great, diverse set of very skilled and interesting people but a lot of them leave rather quickly because they don't want to deal with the 90k less well-behaved members.
In communication they are used for representing the sine and cosine components of a modulation at a carrier frequency at baseband. The general concept behind this is called phasors which has many applications in physics and engineering.
The framework for Emacs Lisp is a library to work with text, I/O, threads, buffers/windows/frames, textual UIs, graphic UIs, etc. See the entries in the Emacs Lisp reference manual:

Emacs Lisp comes bundled with this framework in all distributions of the GNU Emacs editor.
I don't think you need to do that.

Assuming a web application... You can instantiate the object in your main func and then attach it to the server struct so that it is available in every request. When mocking, you can create a mock server that instantiates mock items that implement the interface. If you need something that is contextual, you attach it to the context. In that case, you can still use mock objects, however, you would have to use a different middleware that handles the mock context objects instead of the normal middleware.

So why would Clapper lie about it to Wyden? Additionally, what good would leaking it to Congress do then?

As a whole, I agree that the pardon alone would be a poor signal. Ideally it would be accompanied by additional changes. You argued that Snowden didn't accomplish much though and part of the reason is the hostile reaction from the government.

>It would be rewarding people declassifying large government programs based on their feelings about those programs

If a program is classified, it shouldn't be in a moral gray area. The public should be aware if we're committing unethical acts.

@DANG could you push this group to the top of the comments, so ppl see answers to FAQs? Thanks!
"Laughably far off means" was meant to mean that we can't define a credible timeline. It is essentially impossible to do with our current skills (especially in terms of logistics and automation) so any estimate of timelines is extremely speculative. It could take 200 years, it could take 1000 years.

Overall, I believe that there is 0 reason to even attempt it for now. The Earth is in the middle of an existential crisis for human civilization as we know it, and all of our resources are required at home. We need to rebuild the global economy from the ground up in a way that will reduce global warming. Mars is no escape from this, certainly not in the next centuries.

Any cent that goes to a Mars colony would be better spent on Earth. If not for combating global warming, then at least for building self-sustaining colonies on Earth that could become a refuge for humanity if all else fails, or if we get struck by some asteroid. And this would not only buy us guaranteed survival, it would also act as a perfect model for a Mars colony is some far future - if we had actually built one on Earth, with all its requirements, building one on Mars would certainly become much easier.

Until and unless we know for sure that we could build truly permanent high-tech human settlements on Earth, there is no point in trying to in space. There is nothing to be gained from Mars if we can't build a permanent colony there not dependent on Earth resources, and we will not be able to build a permanent colony there unless we first build one on Earth.
It might have started in good faith, but now there are local chapters at least in EU, where people basically advertise themselves.

So yeah it is snake oil now.

Green account promoting federation without naming it? It's getting a little bit obvious guys. I love both but come on...
Why isn’t it obscure? Because you know it?
I don't disagree, but you have to understand that because "university" isn't a protected name in the US, it also doesn't carry the same status and thus calling the Singularity organization a university is less preposterous.

Eg you learn to run a team of hamburger flippers at the McDonald's University. Many SaaS startups have a tutorials page named $BRAND University. In that context, a bunch of atheistic reli-nuts calling their clubhouse a university isn't that far off.
Key parts of the server (eg attestation that the running server code matches the public release) run in the CPU's secure enclave, which makes it non trivial to run on your own bare metal k8s. Also, I think Azure is the only cloud provider whose kubernetes implementation supports this. I know they open sourced their implementation but I don't know how hard it is to do on your own environment.

But there is no single "Linux Desktop". If these people would contribute to e.g. Gnome instead, they might help improve Gnome but they couldn't realize this idea.

Personally I think there is little benefit to having one single Linux desktop that is equivalent to Windows or macOS, just with a different theme and a different kernel. Desktop Linux is about choice (TM).
Your expectations are a function of what you know and your experiences. In your case, those are dominated by your immersion in literate cultures that rely on written communication formats for information transmission and archiving, not to mention education.

But what if all that knowledge and experience of writing technology and writing based culture were to vanish? What would you be then? Helpless? Lost? Isolated?

Actually, no. You’d still be capable of advanced communications, education, and data storage, using alternative modalities.

It’s like pre-internet humans. They still went out on dates, met up with friends, gossiped and bought things. They just accomplished all that with different tools to what people use today.
The URL here is wrong. You are linking to the whole blog instead of a specific post.

This looks great fun. I first worked in C and 8080 so I didn't see the PDP-11 ISA until a few years later. What amazed me at the time was how much the PDP11 was like C. There is just about a one to mapping of things like pre and post increment, pointers and basic structures. For 8080 there is not much more code generated to do the same but it is not such a clean match.
Except for cooling a hot thing, you want a pigment that absorbs and radiates a lot in the far infrared (ie. acts like a black body)

I agree that the "tokens" themselves are rather fluid. I still think that there is a difference between the tokens that is somewhat hardcoded into the way the system of our mind is setup.

Information I've seen/heard/read indicates that people are able to understand language and have an area of the mind dedicated to it from very early in life. The same is true for other sorts of behavior.

This to me indicates that DNA has hardcoded "instructions" on how to configure a mind to be able to process tokenized information from the start.

It is entirely possible that every section of the mind is just a huge freeform fpga that is initialized by DNA, but I think it is more hardwired than that.

Game of life has certain structures that can replicate themselves or eat other pieces though, so it is entirely possible that certain initialization leads to things that appear to be hardwired structure.

I agree that the mind is distributed, and have also seen the experiments where people continued to function with disparate brains when the connection between the halves was separated.

My thought on it is that there are many subconscious thought streams that we are normally unaware of. People who become aware of them are thought to be crazy, but really I think the normal blocks from their conscious reasoning are just weak.

I agree also that some people don't have the same "internal dialogue" and the stream of tokens are not equal to words like we communicate with others. I don't think that invalidates that there is some sort of token stream though.

The question I've always had is "how much of consciousness shuts down when you sleep" and/or "does staying awake longer mean your conscious thought process gains more access to the rest of your mind". My speculation is that the latter is true, because if you stay awake too long you will appear to be "crazy".
I'm surprised the article didn't mention one of the most popular names for the "Seven Sisters," Subaru, the Japanese name and vehicle manufacturer whose logo contains six of the stars.
Even then - if the Earth were completely taken over by autocrats, it would still be easier to construct and defend an impenetrable fort on Earth than it would be to construct one on Mars - else the autocrats controlling the Earth would easily conquer (or destroy) Mars as well.

Now, if we were to think of a colony ship or a colony on a distant planet light years away, that would make some sense, but that is probably a project for the year 5000, not 2000.

Unity specifically uses C# as the language for your logic, but it gets compiled to auto generated C++ code when you export (if you export to iOS you can take a look at the generated source). Of course games do sometimes make use of languages like Lua for scripting behaviour, I’m not sure if these usually remain interpreted or get compiled.
I don't understand why only scam projects succeed in the crypto space. It's seems like investors are intentionally choosing projects that are scams, which are inefficient, which are lying about their features...

Honest projects which actually deliver are ignored completely.

This is argumentum ad populum.

There is no "main" server. matrix.org is the biggest one, but it is circunstancial. Matrix and Element do not want be the biggest instances or keep things under their control. I can bet that people working on Matrix would be thrilled with the idea of helping people create more instances, and even it would be beneficial for their business.

Like everyone else, I love the MacBook 12. Give me one with a M-series, at the same (or less) weight, with Touch ID and the new keyboard. Like others, I don’t need more than 1 port. Not discounting anyone else’s need for it, but after living with it for a few years I really don’t need additional ports.
Bit OT: I’m interested in an open standard for “push” 2FA. Receive a push notification on Google or Apple’s standard platform, or at the least be able to open the app and just tap the account to send second factor auth (maybe when you open the app it queries all accounts to find which is currently waiting for auth). Are there security concerns blocking this?
