Police Hold Protestor's Head in Dog Bowl
1 liter of water can be very, very heavy for your arm. Here's an experiment for you: take a bottle of water, lift it up so your arm would make 90° angle and hold it for 3 minutes without lowering your arm. When you carry a bottle, you keep passing it from one hand to another: inability to do so will make it very challenging in probably less than 20min.
Drones: Interesting. But I think the very nature of drone warfare precludes any sort of big war. I think drone warfare, like nuclear warfare becomes an arms race and countries will quickly realize its futility. Adversaries will continue to use more mundane techniques like propaganda, misinformation etc like we have seen in the past decade. Autonomous drones will be useful in guerrilla-style warfare though because of their suitability to reconnaissance.

Drones (like nuclear weapons before them) make war a lot more expensive. I guess only the top 5-7 armies in the world will have the technology and expertise to maintain drones. So a conflict like the one in Iraq will have a swift conclusion, but the calculus among the big nations will remain mostly unchanged IMHO.

Self-driving: I think the biggest problem with self-driving in this scenario is the very moniker "self-driving". But it is very likely there are vehicles being tested today that are programmed to avoid minefields, use sophisticated path planning algorithms to avoid detection, minimize fuel consumption etc. Sort of a jeep-sized roomba that traverses a region instead of your living room.
This does exist, though support for it is pretty sparse; it's called "Temporal Tables" in the SQL:2011 standard - https://sigmodrecord.org/publications/sigmodRecord/1209/pdfs...

Last time I checked, it was supported in SQL server and MariaDB, and Postgres via an extension.

> Right now digital has been very profitable for a relatively few since it takes lots of money to develop a product but scarcity will let many more people make a living.

This doesn't really make any sense. Right now I can write one piece of software and sell it thousands of times. The return on investment (time and energy) is absolutely huge.

Introducing scarcity only hurts my bottom line and customers who can't get what I'm selling.

NFTs seem like complete nonsense. But I thought the same about BitCoin (and honestly still do) but we know how that turned out.
I don't understand why you have been downvoted. "abuse" is the right word.

The "success" of the current model relies on (a) low production costs (not only cheap labor but also less social security, lower safety standards, less regulations for environmental protection, local governments that take care of troublemakers etc.) and (b)cheap energy which is needed for cheap transportation.

Regarding point (a): Now that the Chinese workers are becoming too expensive (=they want two bowls of rice instead of one), companies are moving, like locusts, to other countries.

And point (b): As you said, the carbon footprint is terrible.
I was the PM for the software side of Greenplum DB for a while. I also don't know of an earlier example of a separate column oriented storage option on top of a Postgres base. Vertica and ParAccel (which became Redshift) both also started from a Postgres base (though Vertica claims otherwise in marketing material) but were a little later. In any case, "Column oriented storage for Postgres" is almost 20 years old. This also isn't the first open source implementation.

I "upgraded" the internal storage of my Kobo Glo HD (which is in fact using a 4GB MicroSD card as its onboard storage) to a 128GB. I can store the "all maxi" 82GB ZIM file on it. The Kobo firmware includes (but doesn't advertise) ZIM support, so I can browse Wikipedia on an eInk display and great battery life without Internet connectivity.

That would be a great post-apocalyptic knowledge archive, and it would be easy enough to recharge using a USB solar panel.

> Was Barney hated? By whom?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Barney_humor

There was no reason at the time to think it was better/worse for kids than other age appropriate programs. Adults just hated it.

Twilight movies are garbage. Teen girls can do better. I can't remember if the books were hated.

Emo culture however is an example of something hated that shouldn't have been. But the author of the article seems to rule this out for 'teen girls'.
The best current books will (if people still keep reading them in the future) become “classics”.

Most current books will be forgotten, just as most books from the past have been forgotten.
It's not just snapshots though.

Dolt actually stores the tables, rows, and commits in a Merkle DAG, like Git. So you get branch and merge. You can't do branch and merge with snapshots.

(You also get the full git / github toolbox: push and pull, fork and clone, rebase, and most other git commands)
That very much depends. Although there are plenty of well curated and moderated subreddits with quality posts and technically knowledgeable posters equal to anything HN has to offer, Hacker News also tends to descend into juvenile piss-taking rancor and bigotry with subjects outside of its techie wheelhouse.

At this point I'm certain dang has his constant pleas to avoid gender/race/religious war, nationalistic slurs and "posting in the flamewar style" linked to hotkeys just to avoid carpal tunnel.
This is incorrect because it conflates non-fungibility with uniqueness. That is to say, if Jack Dorsey wanted to, he could simply mint /another/ NFT of his first tweet. Now, whether he does this or not is sorta up to him, but it's possible. As other folks have said, it's similar to an autograph or limited edition trading card rather than a one-of-a-kind.
I just had to tangle with ffmpeg to stream some video from a spacecraft. I’m genuinely undecided as to which end of that problem was the more complicated one.

I think you can think of this as patreon in many cases. It's not really about the art itself though, it's more about this conceptual idea of "digital ownership".
It wasn’t accidental. JavaBeans were explicitly designed for “wiring up”
UIs in IDEs and are the reason the horrible getters/setters are ubiquitous in Java.

It’s also why NetBeans was a part of Java for so long (is it still?)

The main reason I started using IDEs was automatic imports. Funnily enough, when I went from VSCode to GoLand, one of the things I miss is the import management, which is better in VSCode. But for everything else, especially refactoring, GoLand is better.
> Every cryptocurrency has a higher maximum throughput than regular bitcoin because doing that is trivial. Bitcoin cash actually has more transactions per day than regular bitcoin. It's low fees aren't because no one is using it, it is the second most used chain. They increased the maximum block size to be 32x bitcoin which keeps congestion down from happening while having more transactions than bitcoin. It is as simple as that.

Trust me we both dislike Bitcoin lol.

Weren't some BCH miners preferring to mine empty blocks though because the fees were too low so it wasn't worth their time? [1]

> What numbers do you have that makes you say "it's not possible", because I don't think you know what you are talking about.

Not possible while maintaining the side-quest of allowing anyone with an average computer to run a full node. I believe that constraint was applied to Bitcoin early on to reduce centralization and improve trust/integrity. Mission failed of course, but if you believe that's important, then of course, it remains impossible.

I'm not your average hater, if you have information for me that challenges that assertion I'd love to read it.

Clever, and no valves to adjust. I really like this design, and I'm wondering why it never caught on more, it looks as though it would have worked well in a boxer like engine as well, instead of two camshafts and one crank you'd end up with no camshafts and two cranks.
The complete archive with image is 82GB, well inside the capacity of an affordable modern microSD card.
I don't disagree with the pathologies you're pointing out, but I don't agree that this was caused by the mere act of imposing standards and practices.

And even if publishing conventions are part of the problem, doing away with all convention is likely to make things worse, not better. It would amount to throwing the baby away with the bathwater.
I don't care what society thinks I have my own moral compass that is partly my own and partly shaped by society. I do my best to shape society to my truth and don't care what "the majority" or "the minority" thinks. You make many claims about "society" and what would work or wouldn't. But these are just assumptions. I like experiments. My question remains why is it relevant that a minority asks for the removal of something. 100 years ago slave owners said society would collapse without slaves and that black people were too stupid to do more that physical work. A minority of people from "society" objected to this at first. And slowly the old truths were replaced by new ones. This is happening now as well. You presume many things but you are not talking about the justness or inherent truths. I ask you: Why shouldn't we let books that are implicitly discriminatory fade into obscurity?
Dupes have their uses - they do a pretty good job of ensuring a wider variety of Google searches lead to the answer. Basically, a built in “this paragraph is a synonym for this other one”.
Thanks and thanks for the link. I was aware of the Tomasulo algorithm but I don't think I've ever seen the original paper nor did I know it was inherently connected to the IBM OS/360. Cheers.
I can't find the “A Response to Geometric Unity” paper actually published anywhere, implying that it hasn't received peer review in the conventional sense.
Here is a plaintext version of Nayuki's results, via the link they posted above:

Geographic coordinate system is first.
Biomass generates ~10% of the electricity from one country in Europe. Biomass is useful in countries like Brazil where extensive farmland means biodiesel is a viable automobile fuel. But for grid generation, the watts per acre is insufficient.

Globally, biomass is used for 0.7% of total energy demand [1]. Almost all of it for fuel, it doesn't even make it on the chart for electricity generation.

> So did Fukushima. There were many problems with nuclear plants in Switzerland, e.g. [4]. There is no 100% safety. In Switzerland, most people live in cities... sure, you could still live in the mountains, right.

And the secondary containment in Fukushima meant that most of the radiation was contained. Fukushima is already being resettled. You harbor this skewed perceptions where nuclear catastrophes render massive swathes of the earth uninhabitable, "almost the whole country [Switzerland] would be become un-inhabitable". No it would not. Even an uncontained meltdown resulted in a 40x40km exclusion zone. An a contained one is much less drastic. Three Mile Island didn't even result in any permanent exclusion zone.
As a home owner I have. Corded blowers are fine. Battery trimmers are fine. There exists commercial grade electric stuff.

Regulation costs money. Making a safer car was more expensive and it took tons of political legwork to legislate mandatory seatbelts/airbags/backup cameras. Doesn't mean it's not worthwhile.
Ask HN: How does it feel to be a dark pattern programmer?
I just cancelled my Amazon Prime membership. I took 5 confusing steps to achieve that. One click too much and I would have reactivated it.

I always wondered, how does it feel to be the programmer who wrote that code? "It's my job, I don't care." "My boss made me do it." "We are simply educating the customer on making a better choice." "Well, we all have bills to pay."
Ross Perot knew the deal. Bush, Clinton and everyone else mocked him, critically, the media. The fourth estate; yeah, right! They don’t give a lick. They push whatever agenda is on tap. Trade Agreements, Gulf War II, etc.
Yes I've found that too, and I regret I did not read more literature when I was younger. I'm objectively highly educated (phd in electrical engineering) but at some point realized I was pretty hollow outside of some narrow specialization - like Sherlock Holmes who doesnt know the moon goes around the earth because it doesnt relate to solving crimes.

To some extent I was not mature enough in high school to take literature seriously, but even now 20+ years later, I'm pretty sure I would reject it just as forcefully if it was presented as it was in school, with all the life sucked out.
Why ether and bitcoin cash would be superior alternatives? They don't solve the scalability problem and will quickly run into the same problems the moment a lot of people start using it. Ethereum is trying to migrate to POS now and it is probably going to help on that front, but it is still an experiment and comes with drawbacks. Layer 2 solutions gives you optionality. You can make your own risk assessment and choose the best solution for you. I think this is a much superior framework than incorporating all these features into the blockchain.
https://cleave.app

Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level.

Started because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all states or consuming all resources.

I'll release an Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates, but I keep getting sidetracked...

Just like the existing art world, except now you have more ways to prove provenance, and originality. the prior timestamp and your ownership and the price history being onchain.

I agree, but a historical post in the past is somewhat unlike a piece of art media like a bitmap or animation. Consider the Herbert quote...

"The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it."

If Dorsey agrees that the "owner" has the prereogative to destroy (delete) it, they plausibly "own" it insofar as they control its existance.
I must say I become more irritated at the clubhouse mentions in any article. It is invite only so if you are in the club maybe it is good. If you are not...

I know I will get a lot of negative points for this one, call me old or whatever, I do not get it. Seriously I have not heard anything stupid as this... while other starving billionaires acting out, historically is this equal as time when Marie-Antoinette said “Let them eat cake”?

> Artists have been mostly locked out of making a good living with their digital works but NFTs will fix that.

What? "NFTs will fix" the competiton and marketing? Sounds like snake oil.

Artists/authors have unpredecented ability to scale their art sale to entire World with simple means like own webpage PoS, right.

But surely that is not enough for one to live a decent life from art, because what is crucial is to reach the right audience and compete in a popularity contest. That is what intermediary services, like Spotify, Youtube, Deezer, iTunes, Gumroad, Amazon, Shutterstock etc, do with their hefty commissions.

How are NFTs going to bring customers with their money directly to the artists?
I'm surprised Weinstein doesn't consider it important to put technical details out there, especially when it's not like anyone is going to steal this research. All it takes is a submission to arXiv to not only popularize his ideas but to submit them to the peer review of everyone, since he holds a quarrel with institutional review.
I think that was the point (in other words, yes).
I have given up on using graphical ssh clients on Windows since Microsoft started including OpenSSH. I find the combination of ssh and Windows Terminal to be a much better one. Occasionally I do still use WinSCP instead of acp or sftp from the command line.

An advantage of doing so is use of the same keys in native Windows and WSL without having to convert them.
The great advantage of a Jetbrains IDE is the solid integration of all the components for a particular language. Bolting together extensions in VS Code has never gotten me close to the efficiency of a dedicated IDE from Jetbrains. I use both for their strengths and always have an instance of both running.
Tell me, should the government force ebay to sell this book? Or should Ebay be free to decide themselves? I don't get why everyone is so worked up.
Notably, it is not uncommon for math and physics researchers to bypass journals as a gatekeeper and directly publish to arXiv. This still allows for other researchers to see the claims presented in a rigorous format and rebut them.
I’d disagree. They only help you trace political connections on academia.

Trading citations and authorship is such a common practice nowadays that I don’t trust that metric for pretty much anything.

He points out that most of our foundational science was published outside of peer review. For example: Watson & Crick's double-helix hypothesis.
It doesn't take inordinately much practice/exposure to get into the flow of (good) past writing in a language you are fluent in, and if you keep at it, it gets easier with practice.

You do have to pay a bit of attention to words whose meanings have drifted over time; comparable to false cognates in a foreign language.
I'm on my condo building's board. We added EV charging a few years ago.

Yes, everyone has an assigned stall.

You pay for your own electricity. We require anyone who wants to charge to buy a device [1] that balances the charging load and records usage. It's connected to WiFi, so you can enable/disable the charger from your phone.

The electricity comes from the House (common) panel. The HOA pays the electric company bill and then bills residents for their usage.

In the end, it's really no different than if you're in your own house. You pay for electricity by the kWh. If you don't have an EV, none of this affects your wallet at all.

For NFT, I think the energy issue is close to irrelevant. The tokens live on ETH blockchain which exists anyway and is massively larger than these tokens. There are also plans to migrate ETH off of PoW soonish, so it may become irrelevant.

>There is zero chance his theory has any merit.

That seems a bit harsh. There is a certain beauty in the geometry equations Weinstein presented. I find it interesting that EFE, Yang-Mills and Dirac emerge from that. He certainly hasn't shown a complete theory of everything but I wouldn't say that it doesn't have any merit.

If I had one criticism of Weinstein it would be that he's never put anything down on paper for anyone to deeply review.

I think the classic styles handle contemporary subjects well and there are many good authors today that write better than the classics, it is worth it being able to recongize a 3000 year old way of story telling. Contemporary styles is a different subject, seeing styles change through the decades is more interesting than how TV-shows have developed. For me that means reading a lot and knowing that even if a style hasn't been my cup of tea, that might easily change.

I have for the last decade nurtured a love for shorter novels because you can read so many of them and get such a large span of styles, through time as well. For reference a classic Kallocain at is a bit too long, but managable at 200 pages.

Antonomasia. GitHub is for repositories what Kleenex is for tissues. Generic trademark.

In all seriousness, do you think it has something to do with the fact you allowed free private repositories early on as opposed to GitHub?

Great work, by the way. I addition to being users, GitLab is an organization I watch closely. Always something to learn from the way you operate.
I don't know enough math or physics to really have an opinion here, but my impression as a layperson familiar with these people is that if Sabine Hossenfelder (or someone writing on her blog) says X and Eric Weinstein says !X then Hossenfelder is probably right. Whenever I watch her videos she seems clear and makes sense. When I watch/listen to Weinstein I get an uneasy feeling of not quite understanding or believing the things he is saying. Hossenfelder makes things clearer, Weinstein tends to speak in dramatic and grandiose language that unnecessarily obfuscates things.
Both are "standard" from the UNIX/GNU diff(1) tool. The default behavior gives you the '>' and '<' format and using -u gives you the "unified" '+' and '-' format.
That's what all the compressor stages are for. There's a pressure differential so the combustion pushes against that and exits in one direction, turning the lower pressure discs on its way out.
