> Third, it’s not just neurons. You’d need to replicate every cell in, and on, a human body. Including, again, the different species of fungus that live exclusively in our toenails.

Do you?

Don’t get me wrong, the chemical environment of the brain, and the wider body, can alter states of consciousness — I recall stories about people whose gut bacteria produces alcohol and permanently fail any blood alcohol tests as a consequence — but if you know what those chemicals are, do you really need to replicate the fungi making them?
And 100% of that stuff takes the piss out of the people it was made for in subtle and clever ways. It's deeper than you think, but you have to read around rather than look at the art to get it.
Do you mean, "How did they arrive at that number?"
Are machines immune to entropy? If not, I suspect that a few thousand years of transit time still pose an obstacle, even for a machine civilization.
Light higher than 5000k at night should be a crime. It is surgical and has already ruined many streets I used to enjoy walking and driving.
This is very clever. I know that if you are using this solution a lot for the same purpose (let's say rendering) then it would be beneficial to come up with a more efficient setup for your particular application.

But this could be very useful for ad hoc, or just spur of the moment things. Let's say I have a few servers that I have access to. Whenever I need to do something computation heavy and it could be something different everytime. Sometimes transcoding a video, sometimes compiling a library in rust. I just outsource them to the servers and keep using my laptop doing other stuff.
Who decided that 'lightpink' should be darker than 'pink'?

Also, nice project :)
i knew about them but seeing it run is quite shocking
Oh, wow. I used Chatwoot in the past, happily surprised you went through YC! I did have trouble self-hosting once, I think I had to enable task queues in my Heroku or something. I might've eventually switched over to the hosted option which was much easier. I would use Chatwoot again on my current startup (https://learncoupling.com).

Is there Discord/SMS or Zapier integration?
> the key point i see is exclude competitor, something it does not look like they are actively doing..

Apple is certainly excluding all mobile app distribution competitors on their OS by leveraging their dominance in the mobile OS market to prevent competition.

Google prevents mobile app distribution competitors from competing with the Play Store on feature parity because because user installable 3rd party mobile app stores cannot implement automatic upgrades, background installation of apps, or batch installs of apps like the Play Store can.
>This is a lot less depressing when you consider that vaccines have shown astounding results so far at preventing disease.

I'm less convinced by the common narrative. It appears that sanitation and nutrition played a key role in preventing diseases and co-coincided with wide spread vaccine use. Put another way vaccines did not work where sanitation + nutrition was abysmal.

(Cannot find references, because I came across them a long time back))
Energy is fungible. Bitcoin using renewables just means that other electricity consumers are using fossil fuels.
Batching API Requests
It is common for retailers to stock low-spec parts, but that doesn't mean that there is no market for the higher-end stuff. Another example is routers: hypermarkets often only stock 10/100MB routers, and a gigabit router has to be ordered online from somewhere. But of course there are plenty of people with gigabit fiber connections who do a lot of torrenting or have a whole family using the connection who would benefit from ordering a gigabit router.

FWIW, I filled an 8T hard drive and then a 4T follow-up hard drive in just one summer of torrenting. Full-size Blu-ray rips are large, and the canon of great cinema is vast. Sure, it'll take me many months afterwards to watch everything that I have downloaded, but these large hard-drive sizes are well within the bounds of what a cinephile with a home theater building a collection would need, and they definitely just aren’t for large businesses. Of course, the hard drive discussed in the linked article is something else entirely.
@OP [cyptus] this is a good question, there is no need for animal resivoir to establish variants/mutation as this happens concurrent with human infection as well.

@spivak you sound on track, the current thought in the lab is polyvalent vaccine. The problems include mRNA duplex interference, meaning 2 species of mRNA may anneal at complementary regions of the sequence to produce localized folding that derails the translation enzymes of the host.
Was German unification inevitable?
Agreed - we are, in a sense, "cheating" because our product is so simple that we do have one of these "very narrow use cases".

The benefits are tremendous, however, and go beyond day to day operations. A dumb switch has no credentials to protect and there is almost zero attack surface.

Further, if our switch dies we can immediately replace it with any other dumb switch that just happens to be lying around.

If you read failure studies - like those in the excellent Charles Perrow book _Normal Accidents_[1] - you see that in many cases there is a very special component that fails and everything goes to hell when they can't find a replacement for it.

So, while I can't encourage everyone to use dumb, unmanaged switches (because not everyone can) I can encourage everyone to remove as many very special components as they can.

> I feel like this was more of a hyberbolic rant.

Reasonable--it definitely is a bit of a rant. I'm not sure it's hyperbolic, personally, but clearly I have a bias.

Overall, my acute frustration with k8s coming from a native-destkop-development background is I simply don't have the scaffolding to be effective relatively quickly. The learning curve is steep enough that I get discouraged before I actually begin making progress on my own goals, and I just feel like I'm trying to do things The Right Way, without understanding what I'm doing, or why, or actually accomplishing my original goals.

As you said, this is true of concepts I've had to learn in the past, but I could learn all those concepts in isolation, then apply them together. K8s I feel like I have to understand a much larger chunk of before I hit critical mass and can start being effective.

i.e. python, I can start with, like, sqlite, before I move to an external hosted DB. K8s I feel like I have to understand waaaay more components--and they don't directly build. Like Docker-compose _seems like_ a stepping stone to k8s, but I've been told is a false path.
As long as the licence wasn’t copyleft, they can still incorporate your code in their closed project without a CLA.
Definitely. Since the same compounds are formed in meat during cooking, so there is a curious evolutionary correlation: did the first humans harnessing fire and cooking meat do so for the psychoactive effects?

The implications also touch demographics, since humans have great variance in the activity of their MAO-A and MAO-B genes. People who get easily addicted to smoke flavoured food, coffee and/or tobacco may simply have inherited a high-activity MAO gene that they are trying to compensate for.
Facebook is slowly becoming the new MySpace.
I saw Mandelbrot sets rendering on these in realtime in the late 1980s or very early 1990s. I knew I was seeing the future. Now it all fits on an M1 Mac.
I see them used a lot in SVGs. But I don't know if that's a technical issue, or programmer preference.
We have no innate sense for probabilites. To give people a bit of intuition about the risk, a good approach might be to try put the risk in relation with the risk that comes with activities and drugs that people already know and do.

Example, with made up numbers:

"You are 4 times as likely to suffer a blood clot from a 4 hour flight than from getting vaccinated with the AZ vaccine."
Well I wish he expanded a bit more on the “Just do X, that’s so much simpler” section.

He's on AWS, he could have gotten all those benefits with ElasticBeanstalk or ECS even.
Plus no yaml files but actual IaaS (terraform etc.) and much better integrations with the other AWS services.

I'd personally still use EC2 for a blog, but if you're looking for convenience/battery-included type of thing...yes I'd argue you're better off just doing X instead.
True. My personal blog is also just super easy to run. I use Jekyll for the blog and Neocities as a host, so all I need to do is:

- `jekyll build` to build `_site`

- `neocities push _site` to recursively upload modified files in _site
Back in high school I used to walk to my job every so often.

Worth noting that this exists already, here and there; you can get full color, full parallax digital holograms from, at the very least, Geola [0] - though "reasonably priced" is a matter of opinion! Making it economical is pretty difficult - the issue is that "mastering" is an inherently time-consuming process; you're writing each hogel one at a time, each hogel is only a square millimeter or smaller, and you're printing at a few dozen hertz max. So each piece inherently eats up a lot of time on the machine, like 3d printing. Then factor in that the plates are boutique, and that rendering all that data is many hours of computer time, and you're possibly looking at least 3 figures for a single A4 plate. That's a tough sell for the consumer market, when the lighting requirements are so stringent (they can only be lit by a single point source, from a strictly defined angle, with no extraneous light sources).

Source: I used to work for a startup that provided this service. We ran out of money.

I'm not sure what I'm complaining about. :) I'm still trying to form my argument I guess. I think you're correct that I'm using conflicting examples. I should have left the functional part out. And the other example is one that is only applicable in that it invokes the same sense "it's bad when you look at a variable (mutable or not) and don't really know what you're looking at, but have to reinterpret the context leading up to the use to figure out what it is".

Take the following guts of a Kotlin method body I just stumbled on:

upgradeStream?.bytesReceived = ubytes.copyOfRange(0, 2).le.ushort
this.binding.progressBar.updateProgress(upgradeStream?.progress ?: 0.0f)
val upgradeStream = this.upgradeStream ?: return
if (upgradeStream.areAllBytesSent) {
upgradeStream.sendEndUpgrade()
} else {
upgradeStream.sendNextSentence()
}

Depending on where I'm at in this flow of code, `upgradeStream` is a different thing.
May or may not be enough, we’ll only find out by doing it. The speed difference between synapses firing vs transistors firing is about the same as speed difference between a wolf and the hill the wolf is standing on. Coincidentally this is also the size difference.
This one works on mobile. The one you linked to does not.
Yes, Atari did, and without the ATW, the Falcon and Jaguar wouldn't have happened.

Richard Miller designed the Blossom video card, was hired by Atari to design the Falcon (which contained a cut down blossom), and who in turn hired his ex-Sinclair friends to design the Jaguar.

I feel the same way about ice cream. Why are there 8 different types of vanilla ice cream, including 4 from the same brand? French Vanilla, Canadian Vanilla, Vanilla Bean, Double Churned Vanilla, 3 different plain Vanilla.

This harms the ice cream ecosystem.
> I didn't feel unsafe taking subways and walking at 3-4 am in NYC pre-LEDs. In fact I much preferred it, the city felt dreamier (for whatever subjective measure of "dreamier" is, of course).

In general.

Because you didnt feel unsafe it does not mean that you were unsafe and that other didnt feel unsafe.

I agree that the yellow lights look nicer in general.
Or, that's exactly the reason to get involved in it. You don't want to rely on suppliers that are at high risk to implement trade barriers or worse. Apple has been moving production away from China over the past couple of years, no doubt in part due to risk (an Apple spokesperson has specifically cited risk as a reason). They've recently moved some production to suppliers in Vietnam, India, and even some has moved to the US.
Does anyone have a use-case for a 120TB drive for casual personal computing? I know we are in the age where 4K video is the new normal now, so I can see the use-case for massive .MP4 binary blobs sitting in these drives. But what other use-cases besides hi-def video are there? Also: if it is backups I would love to know what you're backing up! I try to keep my critical files down to 10GB so I can mirror it multiple times in many locations, but 120TB is whole new levels of strange.
A counter-argument I've read to the dark forest theory is that:

* spectroscopic analysis can show that our atmosphere is oxygen-rich, and this can be detected from a range of many light-years away
* oxygen-rich atmospheres probably indicate life
* we've had an oxygen-rich atmosphere for hundreds of millions of years

So, yes, radio wave emissions have only been going on for 100 years, but we've looked like a life-bearing planet for 100s of millions of years and nobody's taken a successful extinction shot at us that we know of.
Well I think that’s a bit of a straw man. Who’s to say that these teachers do not have training in traditions that have essentially evolved their own treatment modality for psychiatric ailments. Just because they don’t have formal training doesn’t mean the cultural traditions don’t have effective treatment for meditation-induced psychosis. Sure maybe Goenka and his school may be an isolated case where such training wasn’t provided (hence the need for an advanced master) that’s not to say there aren’t examples of masters (several of whom I’ve witnessed personally) that are able to handle the psychotic imbalance that arises from pursuit of these advanced practices.

Yep, I can add that backups in Obsidian are automatically managed and stored on the iCloud Keychain, hence accessible just by using the app on any device
Moonlight for some hours of the month, never exceeding a rather low intensity, a minuscule intensity compared to a single led streetlight.

The night time lighting humans(and our non-human co-inhabitants of earth) have evolved with and known for a very longtime comes from fires of various types, flames with a much warmer color temperature.

Awesome if you're in your office on your usual work computer. Not great if you're in the field trying to make quick fixes on whatever terminal a client provides.
What are you trying to do ?

Do you want to have a website or do you want to write a website ?

It seems like you want to have a portfolio, so I'd say just go with Wordpress or a static site generator.

>Would employers really care if I was unfamiliar with JS, HTML, CSS other than the absolute basics?

It depends on what you'll end up doing. If the position requires being good at JS, HTML, and CSS, then sure. If it doesn't, then it doesn't matter.

If we're hiring someone to do machine learning, then I won't really care if they don't breathe JS. If, a few years from now, we want to bring someone to make our product look good ans slick, then it will matter.

I feel like at this point we should be teaching History of Computing in CS programs.

The old people cry, "This is all the same (stuff that's been going on forever," the young cry, "This is the future, old man."

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

"The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed," very much describes the cycles, but I feel like in some ways this was more obvious 15 years ago, when PC evolution was the focus (nowadays it seems like mobility takes up a lot of bandwidth, which is a huge thing that feels small).

Things like GPUs hitting a tipping point where some feature that had been around for 4-8 years was now ubiquitous enough that software would assume that it was available - and fast. UI expectations ratchet up almost overnight even though the underlying technology has been simmering for years. This was quite pronounced in the 90's, but continued well into the 00's.

Everyone I think can see those, but the epicycles take a bit more study or time. Big architectural changes are driven by cost inequalities in our technologies, and those cycle. Eventually the right somebodies gets fed up and we get SSDs, or 10G Ethernet. Each of those makes some previously abandoned solutions viable again, and they sneak back in (often having to relearn old mistakes).

This multiprocessing idea dates back almost to the very beginning of private sector computing. The ILLIAC IV (1975) was intended to scale to 16 cores but some hardware problems capped it at 4 cores. Those processors were 64bit, and connected to ARPAnet a year before the Cray 1 was born.

Sequent revisited this idea in the late 80's, early 90's, using Intel x86 processor arrays.

We now have a handful of programming languages that have features that could be useful in aggressively NUMA systems (in particular,Scala, Elixir, and Rust). We'll probably see single-box clusters coming around again.
It reminds me of GNU Parallel[0], so I have to imagine it fits for some use cases. I stumbled upon Parallel when I was trying to do user-level "distributed" computing at the day job for running hundreds of simulations in a shorter amount of time. Never really did get it working (I had a hard enough time just ginning up a Python program to orchestrate test cases across local cores; still took 3.5 hours for a full run of tests), and they're currently trying to get a SLURM cluster setup while I'm debugging NVidia binary drivers and overloading our Gitlab instance.

i would like the opportunity to read these "some interviews and sources" do you have any citations to append to your qualitative comment?
I interpret it as that they're mostly the good guys, but Consider Phlebas is written from the point of view of someone who opposes the Culture.

The main thing the Culture did that wasn't what I'd call a "good guy move" was destroying the orbital rather than allowing it to be used as a foothold by the Idirans. Basically, the Culture decided that winning was more important than holding the moral high ground.
People with vision disabilities can have a custom plugin that changes the colors based on their name, instead of trying to convert all the hex codes.

I think one big big aspect, in “use the right tool for the job”, that is often overlooked, is how good you already are wielding said tool.

I use Terraform to manage the few personal cloud resources I have. It is overkill, but I already learned it on the job so it ended up being quicker than setting stuff up by hand. If not, I wouldn’t have bothered learning it. At least in this context.

Same when building an MVP, I’m not going to pick some shiny tools I have never used before, but tools I know I can get the job done with.

Sure, I do like learning new things and tinker around with them, but it is not always the right time to do so, and the list of things I’d like to get good at, engineering related or not already is long a enough for a lifetime so one needs to prioritize.
I tried an openMOSIX cluster back in the day when it was fashionable. Cluster-Knoppix could transform a bunch of old pc's in an instant SSI cluster with almost zero configuration needed. Though I know it is not the most efficient way, I miss the simplicity of it.

A shell script that simply launches a new process on the most idle node of a network would be enough to get back some of that experience. Live migration would be even better, almost perfect for that. Hope some day I can easily build a bewolf cluster out of my ARM SBC's with an experience similar to the old days of Cluster-Knoppix.
Do you really need to pivot into Apple bashing on this thread? It’s not really on topic or needed.
And yet, if vaccinations don't continue, it's highly likely more people would die, that otherwise may have lived.

Paul Hunter, an infectious disease expert at the University of East Anglia, noted in a statement that even if the risk of CVT is raised by the vaccine to five or more cases per million people vaccinated, the COVID-19 infection fatality rate for men in their mid-40s is 0.1%, or 1000 deaths per million infected.

So it's a tricky problem. I do believe you are correct though - even just evidence of missed side effects would be like meat and drink to anti-vaccination sentiments.
Ah man. OpenMosix. What a great piece of software that was. Many people might not know but the developer beyond OpenMosix founded a company around it called Qlusters and then that was the predecessor to Xen/Xensource which he also founded and then he went on to found KVM/Qumranet. To say he left a mark is an understatement.
One of my favorite things about Shellcheck is that the error messages come with a link to a wiki page about the problem. Does anyone know other programs that have a similar approach to error messages?

Yeah in a previous career I was a networking engineer. I ran into a number of folks who were pure (or largely) layer 2 only environments.

In the right situation it's doable and potentially highly desirable due to the simplicity, but requires a lot of discipline by everyone involved, and the right conditions to make it work.

It was a design I supported and thought it was a great idea for the right situation, but I also was hesitant to introduce it to anyone but the 'right customer'.... who probably already knew what they needed to know about it.
Apologies for the broad generalization (as I said, correct me if I'm wrong, and I stand corrected here). That being said, if what you say is true, it's a pity that either the main stream media's reporting doesn't reflect that diversity or that the louder voices don't leave space for the rest of viewpoints.
They wouldn't need FTL. Sufficiently[0] powerful rockets with a sufficiently dense fuel source could reach relativistic speeds, allowing the travelers to experience the journey in less time than the trip takes according to an outside observer.

For instance, accelerating at 1G toward our nearest neighboring star for half the distance, then slowing down for the other half, a traveler could arrive in 3.5 years instead of the "minimum" 4.3. Of course, from Earth's perspective it took 5.9 years, but that's not important. The effect is exponential, such that a trip to the center of the Milky Way, ~30kly, would only take 20yrs ship time (30,002yrs Earth time).

[0] "Sufficiently" in this case meaning "pretty ludicrously".
