It seems like an order of magnitude harder to run something on a phone, personally! i've never had to beg a company to let me run software on a server, at least not yet! ...let alone process payments through the platform.
A bit of a shameless plug, but really looking for feedback .. I've been experimenting with Inai [1][2], a framework that can help build modular microservice-like software with similar Dev team independence properties but can independently be built and deployed as a monolith or as separate services operationally. So far, I've had fun building an internal project at much higher speed than I've managed any similar project and had more fun doing it. I feel the idea (which is still nascent) has some merit, but would like to know what folks think.

PS: I've had some difficulty characterising Inai (as you can tell).
Is Google search likely to improve, stay the same, or get worse? It seems to me it's trending downward.

Whatever organizational issues are causing Google to flub their main product, they must be far-reaching. For Google management to work up a desire to reverse course (and to execute on it) could take a decade (or maybe an eternity).

So now I use Bing and DDG.
Great point.

The control of privacy should be in the protocol and not in the hands of the authorities, if there is going to be a trust built around it. Otherwise, we have what is there today, without the anonymous cash element.

There are different designs today to address this concern, see e.g. the one from Bank of Canada, as one of the frontiers of privacy for citizen: https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/06/staff-analytical-note-20...
This approach allows you try it in an existing project without pursuing the team to switch together.
Unemployment and disability benefits, schools, hospitals and medicare, roads/transport. Could it be better managed? Sure. Would I prefer lower taxes and private companies taking those over? Never.
There is no way to define the "invested equity". If someone bought BTC for $1000, waited a year until it was worth $10,000 and then traded it for ETH - did they invest $1000 or $10,000 into ETH?

> I actually think this is part of the problem- there is excellent tooling for making programming much, much easier, but many programmers are unaware of how to use them.

Isn’t that just called “experience”? It’s understandable that junior engineers don’t know these tools exists, but most will learn them after a few years.

If you’re curious and interested enough, you’ll wonder if there are better ways to do things. Or talk to more experienced people and ask them how they do things.

I don’t think this is a “problem”, it’s just part of the process of becoming an experienced engineer.
Keeping your head down and actively agreeing with governmental policies are two different things.

As things are now, people from authoritarian countries are really, really good at the former.

We do have a replication crisis. But what you're saying is that because we have a replication crisis all prior data about basically everything is moot. As far as I know the replication crisis is most predominant in psycology and social sciences. In biology the replication crisis a bit more interesting, and while it needs addressing, it's fair to say that homeopathy seems to have been reasonably thoroughly debunked. However, in the spirit of exactly what I said above, never say never. If someone proposes a new type of experiment that can explore the homeopathy hypothesis further, that should definitely be at least slightly encouraged. The question is, what experiment DO YOU want to do? Double blind control trial? More basic than that, at the molecular level!

> (e.g Waorani, among others) ... when murder is status conferring instead of status reducing.

This describes a given culture, including upbringing. It does not describe human nature. (or specifically doesn't prove they are aligned)

We've got examples from other extremes too, like pacifism in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriori
>We can think about "what" the initial state is ? Is that initial state self contained ? or was it under effect of something else ? Will the computer "generate" the initial state, or the programmer (aka god) has to explicitly hard code it carefully to create an apparent stable universe ?

They have infinite computing power, just simulate all possible initial states?
Has anyone tried to use this stuff at a scale of greater than a dozen servers? I briefly tried it in my homelab on CentOS 8, and immediately hit enough weirdness that I'm just back to SSH with Ansible now.

I suppose having a GUI can be nice for a health overview of your infrastructure, but in general I dislike GUIs for actual administrative work, since using them is a practice that steers you away from automation.

Most GUI tools don't provide you very good ways to make "atomic" changes, which is made very easy if you run your automation from a git repository, since the final review before hitting go is just "git diff".
Lovely story. I once wrote a small medium piece on how it would be great if coders of simulations incorporate spirituality/religion that would be fair to the objects in the simulation. It included Java code - because as buggy as the Universe is, it surely is written in Java.

I honestly think it's problematic they don't have tests for these types of obvious leaks.
i had no idea that was the same author, both the linked story and the anti memetics sequence have taken root in my mind for a long time.

Before reading the antiemetics series I had always considered SCP to be an awkward xfiles style fan fiction collection, I'm still looking for more to scratch that itch.
It’s a convenient shortcut to take an existing commit and append to it a new commit that changes the file tree to any state you want. For example, if you want that new commit to result in the exact same file tree as another existing commit in the same repository, you can tell git commit-tree to make exactly that happen.

It will also just print the new commit hash without moving `HEAD`, which is why it may also be useful in dragonwriter’s use case.

If it can truly be tested, then it should be tested! But how do you truly test it? Even if God isn't real, acts like prayer give you emotional support and that can have a very real effect! So if you merely want to test whether an act like prayer is effective, then that's simple and probably already done and also probably shows some effect. However if you want to prove that prayer in a particular method to a particular God is effective, that's tricky. If someone can design an elegant enough study then it should be tested!
The idea here is about security of money: the money stored in the CB ledger does not lose i ts contractual value in difficult times, as it is garanteed by the central bank.

Compare that to your money in your bank, which is backed at 10% with fiat reserves. If crisis happens and people want to pull their cash out the bank goes bankrupt. Central banks do not go bankrupt, hence your money is always safe.
In fairness, for some reason Etcher works sometimes when other things don't.

It might be because it is slower and doesn't overheat my usb sticks, I don't know, but if nothing else works you can try etcher.

(Not sure how I found out, can have been something I read or a recommendation by a colleague 3 a 7 years ago or something.)

Rape is shockingly common and cultures are human made things, so they express human nature or some variation of it.

> It sounds like the central bank is thinking about becoming, well, a normal bank. We already have normal banks.

That's not entirely the right way to think about this. The money in your account at a "normal bank" only exists as a liability of that bank, and thus would disappear if the bank goes under. A CDBC would not be a liability of any bank, it would be equivalent to physical cash.

I guess you could still think of that as a "liability of the central bank" because they would be responsible for maintaining the ledger. But a central bank cannot go bust in the same way that a normal bank can.
What's interesting in that, is that it claims that non-english speaking countries call the dot a point instead of a period.

As someone in England, I know of no-one who would call it a period rather than a point. Period is considered an Americanism.
>If so: either we found an exploit or we're building an entire complex theory (QM) to explain a mistake

The complex theory correctly predicts real world behavior, nothing changes from our perspective if it's some kind of bug.
Some anecdata... but I do have aphantasia so my dream experience is probably a bit different from most.

In the past i never much noticed or remembered dreaming, only when waking up agitated from a nightmare (hasn't happened in years)

But i've been a double espresso drinker for years. Since i started cutting out the dinner espresso (e.g. having my last coffee at lunch) i dream almost every night (sometimes 2 distinct storylines) and can remember them for a few minutes after waking but they fade quickly after.
I feel as though people looking joining such a group would have at the very first question “what is the scope of what we will be studying” or something similar. I don’t think people take jobs like that without having a decent answer to that question and I haven’t seen any accusations of bait and switch, only of poor treatment over a disagreeing researcher ballooning into this.

Copyright is automatic and grants full protection from the moment of creation.

Registering copyright isn't necessary, it is helpful though in resolving certain disputes. Registration also does not require you to disclose the work to everyone, it requires you to deposit the work with the copyright office, which will pull it out if some court case requires it.

It depends on the wool. Finer wool like Merino wool tends to be nicer to wear directly on your skin. But you don't have to do that. You can and should wear cotton underwear. The extra layer keeps you even warmer and means you won't have to wash your outer wear all the time (wool should not be washed more than is absolutely necessary and ideally not at all). You'll also find heavier garments encase the wool in an outer material like cotton. You can get cotton duvets like this and they are wonderful. You can use them all year round. I will never go back to polyester again.

If that means 5% of the workforce gets layoff, that can represent thousands of people. It can also have a snowballing effect. Lastly, there's a lot of capital involved. Idle plants means your fixed costs have to be divided among fewer cars, increasing their cost on top of the lost revenues from the non produced cars.
Tried it on ubuntu, it also has weirdness there. The whole tool is definitely rough around the edges.

I would never use it to actually change machines though. Definitely Ansible over SSH is the way to go there.

I've mixed feelings about controlling the machines through cockpit. In theory there shouldn't be any difference between SSH and HTTPS on the security of the protocol side, but it definitely feels iffy to have a python (I think?) web app execute administration commands on a server.

I wonder what the security professionals think of it.
I find this article kinda funny from nowdays perspective. There so many things, more controversial or less controversial. where other side being ridiculed big time, when they dont agree on “scientic” dogmas. Starting from begining of universe, tackling global warming/green stuff, lets not even talk about covid19 related issues, from origins or how to surpress it.

Lets face it, since we are living in one united info space, there are less and less thougth diverity how to do things in same field
English is not my first language. I meant 'compound' in the sense 'a cluster of buildings having a shared purpose, usually inside a fence'. Where I am every school has a fence (also as insurance line). But maybe this usage of this expression is uncommon.
I disagree almost 100% with this. The most novel scientific ideas are so wild they're almost in crackpot territory. Novel ideas in general are ideas no one has ever explored before. And while most science is incremental, most science is also...not very useful or interesting. I'm sure that scientific funding could be cut 50% without any noticeable negative impact, assuming the right 50% were cut. (That is of course the difficult question, so I'm not literally advocating this).

Conservativism is a very bad trait to have in scientific roles. It's not as bad as being dumb, not being curious or not intensely seeking the truth, but on a system level it will steer the ship in the wrong direction.

Paul Graham recently wrote some essays that explored these ideas in a much clearer and more precise way. To me they were just nagging in the back of my mind for a long time. Recommended reading if you've got a few minutes. http://paulgraham.com/think.html

I nearly went down this route, with an old, cheap, hacked, reader-only e-ink device with all the cleverness done on a different machine and the output pre-optimised for the specific target device.

However, when I looked into it, I found that buying a Boox with a recent version of Android on it, meant that I could replace most of that with apps on the device itself, including borrowing DRM'd books from my local library, which is handy sometimes.

And the price difference didn't actually seem that bad, once I took into account my desire for a warm backlight. Maybe if I already owned a simpler device with that feature, I'd have hacked it instead.

Having said that, I don't have quite the same aversion to short length reading on e-ink, so I also use Pocket and even a browser (Firefox mobile with DarkMode addon in "light" mode) and so I'm probably getting more use out of that side of things for my money.

I have heard very good things about KOReader, but the standard Boox reader is also pretty great, and integrates with the device well (e.g. the default launcher lists books from that reader) so I've not had reason to try anything different.

As someone else has mentioned, the only bad thing about Boox I've found so far is that they seems to be withholding their Linux modifications. Doesn't affect me directly in practical terms at the moment, but it's the principle of the thing.

Oh remembered, one other potential bad thing, there are apparently core apps that phone home. People have workarounds involving fake VPN apps that block specific urls.

It's a good direction to take. One-time payments are a fiction: one can't reasonably expect to pay once and use a continuously developed and maintained service forever. Subscriptions are the way to go and I'm happy to pay for stuff that I actually use, so that it is sustainably developed.

I just read "There Is No Antimemetics Division," and I was blown away. Really exhilarating science fiction that feels at once hyper-modern and yet retro in that it's more about ideas than characters. Very reminiscent of Ted Chiang. (I was also pretty delightfully confused by the timeline because I read it as a novel when it's actually a collection of short stories.)
> Compare it to a common sentiment I saw on HN recently, which is that selling a self-driving car kit is irresponsible even if you technically have some shrink wrap agreement that says “this isn’t a real product, use at your own risk.”

I don't think this example is comparable. Most obviously, the effects of failure in Pinboard vs a self driving car kit are vastly different.
So,if you are being abused by your boss via email, you can't give the evidence to a lawyer, but first have to apply for a court order without showing any evidence in order to get the evidence? I think this is unlikely to be the law, and if it is, it shouldn't be.
I think eventually it will be nation states that bring the endgame, on national security grounds, through regulation.

Looking mostly at the US here. It is highly unlikely the government will sit by and watch trillions of US capital flowing into a Chinese-controlled infrastructure, undermining their reserve currency status.

Also worth mentioning that the US has leverage over the entire world’s banking system, that is how they enforce sanctions. Cutting the link between crypto and major currencies would qualify as an endgame.
What is needed is a discussion system, that works like a Shipyard, with the preordained goal that consent must be found.

The difference between biomedical and electronic systems vanishes when you approach them from the same abstraction levels, where the complexity of the brain forces us to stand: either extremely high (clinical/GUI) or extremely low (drugs/'therapeutic' machine code).

My understanding of brain is on par with that most of HW audience has about computers and vice-versa. So, as you correctly thought, the intent was to brigde this gap. Another analogy I like is, treating brain diseases with drugs is like repairing a car by spraying chemicals.
Trazodone knocks me out. It also makes me lethargic the following day and less productive. I would only take half the lowest available dose (cut the lowest dose in half with a pill cutter) and it still gave me greatest sleep than anything else I'd ever tried.

How can each simulated universe be the same as the one above an below? Why can't they diverge? If they turn off their universe (killing all those below) why would that turn off the one above?

Or is it just hope that if you don't the one above won't ? Because while all decisions are possible we make thrones in our self interest because we hope everyone else is playing the same game.

Yes, basic research is necessary and developments sometimes take a long time. That doesn't mean you should keep following a route that repeatedly leads to a dead end. And every hypothesis isn't equally deserving of funding.
