Quantity has a quality all it's own. IMO China can spam it until she makes it.

Central government wants to incentivize innovation and research so huge Chinese (and homogenized) population starts spamming patents and research papers. The system generates expertise for 1 good patent or paper out of 10. But volume is so high that 1/10 is enough to be globally competitive. Refine quality to 2/10 to reach parity. Refine to 3/10 and China becomes industrial leader. It's not hard to go from 1-3/10 in a short span of time when you have a massive labour force spamming its way into maturity. This is how China went from having poor academic research capacity into leading research many fields relatively fast if one looks past the "culture" / incidental inefficiencies and evaluate based on metrics controlled for quality. Supercharge this with industrial policy and state coordination to target strategic sectors.

It's the optimal development strategy that plays to PRC strengths - lots of people, somewhat competent ability to coordinate. In terms of fast, cheap, good, developing countries don't get to be good anyway, frequently poor governance = can't even focus on fast or cheap let alone both. Coordinating both = Deng model: poor China develops cheap and fast aka chabuduo. So Chinese population + spamming chabuduo + coordination = enough occasional, actually good outcomes to reach global competitiveness in ways that matter, fast. Though eventually need to reign in cheating and corruption via parallel improvements in coordination and culture to move onto next tier. Whatever you think of Xi, this is what he's been focusing on. Building premier institutions is also just hard and takes time to cultivate, especially if intellectuals previously purged, so need to spam out all the necessary components first anyway. Can't exactly have leading institutions without pool of experts first. The only place to cut corners for building institutions is to generate excess talent/components and assemble accordingly. Excess talent also necessary to mitigate brain drain (your amazing colleagues).

Elsewhere, Chabuduo manufacturing with Chinese population means plastic hangers to iPhones in 10 years. Chabuduo construction means enviable transportation systems, tier1 cities from fishing villages, and ghost cities that eventually gets filled by the hundreds of millions still waiting to be urbanized. Perfect/Good is the enemy of fast development.
Wow, so you’re a paid fertilizer schill.

You do realize that when you strip away the absolutely catastrophic agricultural devastation we’ve created — glyphosate, pesticides, monocropping, soil erosion, CAFO — that cow manure is the absolute gold of compost and the absolute best fertilizer, right?

You do realize that 30+ Million bison once roamed the US, grazing and pooping, which is why we had some of the most fertile and incredible soil on the planet? And then we fucked everything up and came in and poured our chemicals and artificial farming ideas all over the land and now it’s absolutely torched.

And now everyone is beholden to this toxic CAFO and monocropping machine filled with chemicals and pesticides and runoff and disease and antibacterial agents and so much unholy madness that no one can even see the light of day, outside of a few regenerative farming advocates who are desperately trying to shake people into understanding how farming CAN AND SHOULD WORK based on the way the planet already figured out thousands of years ago for us.

But sure buddy. Blame it all on ‘manure’.
So if I close the browser then open a private browsing window to the same site, the destination can't use that open connection to determine positively that the non-private window and the private window to the same IP are definitively the same machine?
I read an SF story a few years ago where the idea was to sequester the carbon of Venus into blocks of diamond. A minor bit of (ahem) atmosphere in a pretty good novel . . . just don't remember the title.
But can we even see it through that thick atmosphere? Even probes we'd send down get corroded by the acid.

This seems like a silly distinction. Where's all the feed from that fuels the manure? It's plain obvious this problem is caused by our greatly expanded production of fertilizer since the Haber-Bosch process.

What is this providing over ProseMirror on which it's built? Like, why would I choose this library instead of just using ProseMirror directly? Adding such a page to the docs might be helpful.

> You allege poor product quality ?

Apple laptop butterfly keyboard failures - many years before they gave up on it. You may have heard of it.

> Security ?

MacOS root authentication bypass by using root and then hitting enter button with the password field empty. I don't think there's been a bigger authentication failure anywhere else?

Apple products are pleasing to the eye, but there are pain points. Some users get very defensive of Apple, that can get pretty annoying.
I think there are two parts to this answer: the fabless component (meaning designing chips), and the fab component (meaning manufacturing chips). Taking Apple as an example: Apple is fully in the fabless part with Apple Silicon, but Apple has no in-house fab component (they outsource the chip manufacturing to TSMC).

For the chip design part, Microsoft to some degree is already doing this. Microsoft has worked with AMD and Qualcomm to design custom chips for things like the XBox and Surface devices, and word on the street is that Microsoft is moving into designing their own ARM chips top-to-bottom similar to Apple [1]. I think moving into custom chip design is no brainer for all of the tech players with a market cap > $1 trillion, and as far as I'm aware, most of them are already doing it.

The second part is the much trickier part. Actually getting into the fab business at a cutting edge process node is extremely difficult, because the fab business is both extremely capital intensive AND takes an enormous amount of time to build up. If Microsoft or any other tech player wanted to muscle their way into the cutting edge fab business, the requirement isn't a one-time $20 billion investment; it's $20 billion a year every year for at least a decade just to catch up. The catching up part is insanely difficult too; for starters, the EUV photolithography machines you need to even begin building a fab are made by only like two companies in the world, and both companies are backordered for years because of TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and others. Then, once you have caught up, you have to continue pouring money into the business forever in order to keep up. TSMC and Samsung and (up until recently) Intel are able to do this because of the sheer volume of manufacturing they do; smaller fabs that don't have the volume just aren't able to keep up because they don't have the revenue. The fab business is a business where economies of scale are really serious and really large, and I don't think Microsoft alone is at a scale large enough to for these economies of scale to start to take effect. Even established chip players like NVIDIA and AMD don't even consider themselves large enough for these economies of scale to apply today.

So the question for Microsoft (and really any fabless chip company) really basically boils down to: do they commit to $20 billion a year every year indefinitely until the end of time to build and run their own in-house cutting edge fab business, or do they just pay TSMC each year to manufacture for them, and thereby offload the risk and cost of the fab business? The overwhelming answer in the industry is: just pay TSMC. That's what Apple, Google, Amazon, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, etc. all do.

My god, click the privacy button on that site if you want to be horrified.

What even is the linked article? The vast majority is just directly quoting a different article. The one part which isn’t just a direct quote which looks possibly like it’s own “reporting”, the one sentence at the start, is actually just directly lifted from the quoted article as well, absolutely nothing is added.

Then the quoted article has so many random words highlighted linking to either tenuously related articles or the same content just rehashed slightly differently.

Is this what the web is now? Content farms ripping content farms all competing to send your precise location and browsing history to as many partners as they can? How many lifetime-hours are spent on this? Depressing...
Sites might use IP address information to guess that the sessions are correlated. But they can do that whether or not the connection remains open.
Well we know that it's not inhabited by 'life as we know it' right now at the very least. Because that's just not going to survive there. It'd be a pretty far stretch to come up with something that can.
No, because the connection pool for private and non-private windows are not shared. So when you open the site in a private window, a new connection is created.

There are other ways of correlating those connections (like browser fingerprinting), but the connection pool isn't a problem.
While the equation you give is valid, I think it is probably not that useful given the "volume" is open to space and so we can't solve this equation.

I think more useful is a static equilibrium, specifically that d(pressure)/d(altitude)=-density(pressure,temperature)*gravity(altitude).

Which gives you roughly an exponential falloff with altitude if you assume gravity is constant (which is fine if it's a small fraction of planet radius) and molecular weight and temperature are constant (that's definitely not true but oh well)

EDIT: for the question asker: reducing the temperature would have a first order effect of just making the density gradient steeper, but surface pressure would be the same. The second order effect might be that the surface absorbs some CO2, which would actually reduce surface pressure.

You can make your own art. When software is free, you can modify it to be less addictive, to fast forward, to learn from it, and generally protect your rights. "Free as in beer" was never the point of free software.

Sounds like an over-broad definition of freedom, the kind open-source supporters might use. I suppose you think museums shouldn't charge too?

By definition, a matrix multiplication takes rows and multiplies them by columns. For a pair of square matrices, where there are n rows in A and n columns in B, you (by definition) need to multiply them by each other at least once, otherwise it's not matrix multiplication, it's matrix... something else.

Of course. Why would that not be possible?

This is another common response I see, this defeatist attitude that the west is not capable of implementing the same smart common sense policies that the east did. With this pessimistic attitude it's sure as hell not possible, and will be the west's downfall.

The server sees your IP regardless of your browser being in private mode or not. And yes if they have the IP in the logs and have them accessible to query, they could easily correlate all requests from the same IP and determine what they were accessing inside private windows or not.
Sure, but this removes any guess work on their end. It's the same connection.
I think we’re getting in the weeds here and more philosophical than necessary.

The frustration in this thread is because actual royalty with a trust fund is receiving an executive position most feel he isn’t deserving of on his merits.

We could have a discussion on every word in that statement, but that misses the point because the vast majority of people agree that Prince Harry isn’t receiving this desirable position deservingly. Obviously this is a consensual transaction where both sides are happy, but plenty of exchanges fit that criteria that still strike most as immoral.

The idea of NFTs is odd to me.

I get the idea of a digitally validated consumable (concert tickets, for example). I get the idea of owning a piece of digital art.

But as far as I understand, a lot of NFT transactions are for digital "ownership" without many of the rights normally associated with ownership.

They seem more like baseball cards than Picassos.

Maybe I just don't get the current frenzy, and that's that--but a lot of the buzz around NFTs make me think there are likely a ton of wash sales that fake run up the price to unload lower priced ones on speculators.

It just has my spider sense tingling that something shady is going on. Think of all the farmland or Bitcoin or stock in copper miners you could buy with these sums. How could the joy of ownership over a collectible compete? Or do these people really believe that these things will appreciate from these prices?
Isn't this because Mac keeps the app open even after all the windows are closed?

> It is as though Latin American countries had the wrong kind of happiness before 2020, says Mr Helliwell—a happiness sustained by people’s close social connections, not by high levels of social trust.

Why is high social trust the 'correct' kind of happiness?

I'm willing to give leeway and interpret this as the wrong kind of happiness for the situation, though.
Yes, same! Only way I can have phone calls as well. And I just love walking relatively aimlessly somewhere. Guess I'm just not a city person, wanting to zoom around fast with headphones on listeneing to [whatever] all the way to destination B where you consider the task finished. I would argue that creativity comes into place any time you allow yourself the breathing room.

Then again you can probably get distracted from your mental blockers as well which can be alleviated by techno (or other forms of (repetitive?) music) to the point of "breaking through" so I can understand the reason people do it.
It's not clear what problem Gemini solves.

Some webmaster willing to host a Gemini server could also setup an nginx serving static markdown files with no cookies/js/... and the privacy conscious client could use lynx to browse it.
It should be noted that there has been the relaxation of 5,000 bytes per day since January 2021 [1]. Since the submission is required to have at least 1% improvement over the last valid submission plus the relaxation, the last winner can submit the virtually same submission after 234 (= ceil(1,166,736 / 5,000)) days of inactivity to claim the award. In practice this would mean that a smaller tweak that was so far unable to pass the minimum improvement threshold is now eligible.

To be fair, "designing" a vaccine is not the same as testing it to show that it is acceptably safe and effective in humans. That said, the time from design to deployment was amazingly short.

The loan wasn’t denominated in gold, it was denominated in guilders. At the time, guilders happened to be made of gold, but that’s somewhat irrelevant. The interest is 2.5% of the initial value of the bond in guilders, which has almost certainly deflated drastically, and will continue to do so.

Put another way, the loan will continue to pay out 14 Euro per year 100 years from now, when that will likely be the cost of one can of soda.
My biggest complain so far of Prosemirror is that everyone is recreating the same things. Prosemirror core intentionally doesn't handle a lot and is easily extandable. But as result everyone is recreating the same Plug-ins.

Wondering if that would be a good thing if Marijn created some kind of official marketplace for Plug-ins
This is exactly what I use for my Rails apps and rails provides its own abstraction and helpers to make setting up Capybara especially painless.

For any seasoned rails developer this is not difficult. Nothing about hotwire changes the testing approach in any meaningful way versus the old style ujs/jquery techniques, so the older system test tutorials and SO questions are just as valid as they were before.
The resource limits are so severely restricted on Cloud Run that I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to Fargate. The space of use cases solved well with Fargate is far, far larger.
I’m guilty of this. I use Pis for industrial use monitoring some machinery’s serial output and being a server for it. I know the SD cards will eventually get corrupted from power cycling and I’ll have to come fix them. But the alternative is buying a bunch of $250-500 industrial arm computers sight unseen, with a tiny fraction of the support and reviews that Pis have so it feels like a shot in the dark.
I bought a domain For use on my local network. I use letsencrypt for free certs, and I have multiple sub domains hosted under it. It works very well and wasn’t that hard to setup. It’s actually better organized and easier to use than my old system since I had to take the extra step up front to organize it under a domain.
I admire your optimism.

I agree to the extent that our pessimistic attitudes are a cancer that will lead to our downfall. I do not believe we can overcome them as they permeate up and down the spectrum of influence and political power.

I realize the irony in taking a pessimistic stance and recognizing the harm in that pessimism, but I don’t really know what else to say or how to change it.
Not sure what is the point they are trying to make. Specifically, I don't see any strong argument tying not closing persistent connections right away to any tangible privacy concern - seems like the post considers it an assumption.
Uh, is that intended as a shot at Michigan? Maybe that's not what you meant. I don't know. When I sit on my break wall with friends, sipping scotch and enjoying a half decent cigar, I get to feeling like certain parts of Michigan are pretty hard to improve upon.
> didn't really have any substantive effect

it did, but the effort was not sustained, nor done consistently enough in the USA to have had return on the investment/cost.

I would argue that a bigger, more stringent lockdown, for at least 1-2 months, would have produced vastly better results. It's not like you can half-mitigate the pandemic with a half-lockdown.
Is this an EYES ref?
Isn't the whole NFT a piramide scheme where "Auction" platforms incentivize artist A and B to buy each other arts (while taking a cut) in the hope it will boost "fame" and have someone unadvised of the deal think it's worth anything?
The most ironic result would be ICE powered vehicles outlasting EVs. They could be the vinyl records of transportation.
But this is all thinking from an American perspective. Plenty of other countries with higher interest rates in the range of 7 to 9 percentage from banks and double digit from the share market.

I do wonder why don't more people move in to the third world from the West, it makes a lot of sense I think, especially if one is looking for financial independence. In third world, generally the same amount of money goes much longer than in the West.
I think its unfortunate that many people look to size alone when considering data compression. Decompression speed is also an important factor. For example Xz usually have better compression than Zstandard by about 8%, but at the same time, Zstandard can usually decompress about 10 times faster. But without failure, people always try to rationalize the slightly smaller output and hand wave away any other factors.
No, there is no session sharing between private and non-private tabs.

Notifications aren’t done by the browser holding open a socket to individual sites; there’s a somewhat complicated protocol involving a service run by the browser manufacturer.

I’m not aware of any web APIs that explicitly require the browser to hold idle connections alive in a socket pool (server-sent events/websockets are a different matter; but they involve an active worker of some description—and last I knew weren’t available in service workers); this is purely a performance optimization.
Korea (and the other countries mentioned) reacted hard and strongly at the start of the pandemic, and kept numbers low.

In Korea the worst day had just over 1000 new cases in the whole country. They had forced quarantine for those infected and very strong (legally enforced) contract tracing[1].

Meanwhile in the US and Europe they seem to have abandoned contact tracing completely (unsurprising given how widely spread it is now). Lockdown (or vaccine) seems the only alternative in that case (or lots of deaths of course).

A lot yes, but anything near what we've done now? Over the course of a couple of [thousands|million|billion] years sure.

And if at a slower pace that would definitely (or should have) resulted in quicker reaction skills/abilities than we have now with a 50-100 year timespan within where our established way of being will have collapsed.
