You must be thinking about this in a weird way if you describe as selfish those people who have unsafe sex and contract HIV and who were fully aware of the risk. What do you think that they hoped to gain by becoming HIV positive? And if they thought it was an acceptable trade-in for some momentary pleasure, can they really have been fully informed in the first place? It seems that what you’re saying here is rooted in some kind of stereotype of crazy hedonism, rather than a more realistic understanding of the psychology of unsafe sex.

Believe me, there are idiots in all walks of life. There are plenty of people who are simply too dumb to practice safe sex, just as there are plenty of people too dumb to take trivial precautions against spreading COVID. I don’t think you’ll have much luck trying to formulate a coherent reason to regard the two groups in a fundamentally different light. Conservatives just have a bee in their collective bonnet about sex as compared to other comparably risky activities.

For some reason, any time there is any good news relating to HIV on HN, we have to have a thread where we seriously moot the question of whether HIV positive people deserve to die (or to put it in your bloodless terms, whether mercy is outweighed by justice). Have you considered just giving this a rest? Everyone already knows that many religious conservatives are in favor of denying treatment to HIV positive people belonging to social groups that they don’t like.
Great article. Goes to show that just about any field of endeavor is fractally complex. Also a reminder that boundaries we create between fields are just optional conveniences: you'd want to think about typefaces as a separate thing from the medium in which they're used - except sometimes you get better results if you consider the specifics of the medium and the process.
>Relative to a device to perform the understanding.

It uses Kolmogorov complexity, which is defined as the length of a shortest computer program in a predetermined programming language that produces the object as output. Note that this measure is relative to a programming language, not a program, and the exact choice of language doesn't matter too much. Compression means creating a smaller program that produces the same output, and to produce the same output with less code necessarily requires more understanding.

As a concrete example, imagine the output is [1,2,fizz,4,buzz,fizz,7,8,fizz,buzz,11,fizz,13,14,fizzbuzz..1000). The longest program to output this would just hard-code it in the source code (much as a very inexperienced programmer might solve the problem, or a large neural net). Someone with a better understanding would write a program using iteration and the modulus operator, which would be shorter.

So many things to unpack here. Please keep in mind that Tesla and Musk are masters of misrepresenting statistics out of context.

So, when you said that "Tesla cars" kill humans at a lower rate than "human drivers", could you provide a source for that? Or did you mean the regular claim by Musk about teslas being safer by 100% than an average driver, which means that an average tesla car while running autopilot in almost always highway conditions in almost always sunny conditions has lower fatalities than the average human driver, who will skew older and more accident prone, driving on average roads, in average conditions, with the average 10 year old car with less safety features.

Never in any of these statements have i seen any discussion of pedestrians deaths, but it makes sense right? How many pedestrians are on highways where autopilot is mostly used.

I think you are going too far. Microsoft has been using tons of immoral and unethical actions, but most of the time they were trying to cover their asses and avoid doing anything illegal. Of course their aggressive strategy means they were often investigated and lost their cases in court, but in this particular case, I bet they played it in a way that nobody could make a legal case against them, even though what they did is public knowledge.

Downloading illegal data is not research, particularly if you're not a security researcher. Research has ethical boards for exactly this reason.

Those certain images you described are publicly available too. That doesn't make downloading them _legal_.

The fact is you've a dataset containing personal data of millions of people is obviously illegal -- why this didn't raise red flags in your mind is curious.

Edit: I'd certainly not expect police to kick your door in either, much like if you pirated a movie.

My point is: be careful.

He is suggesting that and it's wrong. Shootings are up by an even higher amount than deaths. The implications of that are left for the reader to figure out.
>I hear this a lot, in the context of, we must keep growing the global population on the off chance that someone may be born who comes up with a way to live on an over-populated, polluted, resource-depleted planet. It's nonsense.

Standards of living globally are better than at any time in the past, yet in spite of the continued failed predictions of disaster people have been making for the past couple hundred years, people still persist in making such predictions. Willfully ignoring humanity's ability to adapt and overcome, that's the real nonsense.

This comment has nothing to do with this article whatsoever but just something to keep in mind https://itep.org/pandemic-profits-netflix-made-record-profit...
Isn't it rather odd that this object is said to (a) be from outside the solar system; and (b) be made from the orginal material the solar system formed from?

I presume the object is thought to be from the Oort Cloud, much of which is arguably "interstellar space"; but comets cannot form in interstallar space; there's nothing there to form from. Comets form from the protoplanetary disk, making them part of the stellar system that disk turns into.

It's possible, I guess, for a comet to hurled out of one star system, and become adopted by another; but the article doesn't claim that's what happened here. This is just a comet that doesn't seem to have visited close to the Sun before. Most Oort Cloud objects have never been near the Sun.

You are right that silicon has many other advantages besides being abundant.

Also correct is that the price of a semiconductor material in the form as it enters a semiconductor plant depends not only on the abundance of the raw material but also on how easy it can be purified and grown into crystals with very few defects.

The latter 2 operations are indeed much easier for silicon than for compound semiconductors.

Nevertheless, the choice of materials for any semiconductor device results from compromises between a very large number of properties and while silicon is good at some, it is worse at other properties, e.g. energy bandgap, breakdown electric field, velocity limits of charge carriers, electron mobility, leakage currents and others.

So there are applications for which silicon may be the best choice, even if the cost of the materials is ignored.

However, in more and more applications silicon continues to be used only because of its lower cost.

It is likely that the use of silicon for the active part of the semiconductor devices will continue to decrease and this trend will accelerate.

For example, to make faster CPUs, there are not a lot of remaining possible improvements.

Three-dimensional silicon devices are a possibility for increasing the multi-thread performance, but only if it would become possible to circulate some liquid coolant through channels in the device, to eliminate the heat.

Otherwise, the only chance is to use some other material than silicon for the active regions of the device.

Even if the active semiconductor devices would be made from other materials, it is likely that silicon crystals will continue to be used as substrates long after that, due to the 2 advantages that you have mentioned, i.e. very few crystal defects and high thermal conductivity.

For the record, I have worked for many years in a plant where silicon devices were made and I have handled thousands of silicon wafers, breaking just a few ;-( .

Therefore, I actually have a lot of respect for your boy Si !

"What we really need is an ability to decouple having children from the physical cost it can have on female body. It would be a great achievement if technology could resolve this issue."

How do you solve that when society is built around "getting a degree, get a job" first and then think about the children.

That is not a fair comparison. If MSFS has less features but better graphics it is either moving backwards as a sim or becoming more arcadeish. A sim with less sim is less not more.

From scratch? No, consequently there is a pretty much automated aircraft converter [1] and the directory structure is incredibly similar and early alphas had the fsx flight physics, and started with fsx airports before the ml scenery was finished.

It's certainly a more ambitious engine upgrade of the engine than p3d or fsw, even excluding the cloud scenery stuff, but "write a flight sim from scratch" is a task on par with "write a Web browser from scratch".

Why are you debating killing it? Is it not making any money, or is it too much to maintain?
I think they are still in the Embrace and Extend phases, putting a lot of work into the Linux kernel to make sure it plays well with Windows machines so bringing Azure tons of money, adding WSL so that devs don't need to switch to bare-metal Linux in order to do their work, making GitHub's position stronger so that all Open Source development is concentrated on their platform. This is all a coherent strategy aiming at maximizing value while controlling the situation (making sure Linux is unbootable after you install Windows next to it etc.).

What would be the first stages of the Extinguish stage? If I were them, I would start from neutralizing Stallman. He is the pillar of Free Software, a smart hacker who created GCC and devoted his life towards values that are completely at odds with Microsoft's vision. I would use every occasion to discredit him and eliminate him from exerting any influence.

Wealth is not "trickling down" mainly because of high taxes in Europe. Corporations have incentive to transfer profits outside and spend it only when absolutely necessary, otherwise any bigger project wouldn't be economical.
So not only those corporations act like a hoover of funds, the void that is created has to be filled with something - and here comes progressive tax, that ensures middle class cover what otherwise those big corporations would have to pay and also ensures that if someone comes from a poor background they almost never go up in the class ladder.
This will eventually create a society where everyone cannot afford anything to buy, but they will be able to scrap money together to pay for subscriptions and big corporations will become de facto governments and all parliaments will focus on protecting that status quo rather than serving the public.

The Economist has a variety of types of article. It has a World news round up. It has short opinion pieces (like the ones that get shared here) and longer form in depth analysis sections. It finishes with Arts and culture science and obituaries.

I have only ever seen the short (1/2 to 1 page in the printed version) opinion pieces shared here. I think most publications could be judged unfairly by reading the only those parts. Usually the magazine is themed on one subject for the week and publishes a range of angles on the same thing. Again sharing one part of it rather destroys the beauty of it. I think that is why I can't get on with the digital editions.

I was a subscriber to the paper edition, but it is supposed to arrive Saturday morning in the mail, but often didn't. I found thay if it arrived on Monday I was only finding time to flick through it.
I saw a video about that by one of those tech youtubers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW3wNsTLCEw. Many good points imho:

1. LG did not have one thing they stood for. At a time it was repairability (the LG G5 and LG V20 is one of the best older Android phones with an exchangeable battery), sound quality, supporting modules to extend the phone (but almost never releasing any), one release had a great camera, last year they released one with a cross display. There is no common theme, no follow up on their experiments. Quick, what's the newish LG Velvet about? Even I don't know, and I read the reviews (checking again: There is nothing special).

2. Product names suck, with them all colliding together over time. Samsung also does that a little bit, but not as much with their S line.

3. Repeatedly releasing phones at high prices, putting them in direct competition with almost flagship phones, and cutting them a week after release by several hundred dollars. Instead of cutting the price immediately and getting better reviews by thus being in competition with cheaper and worse other phones.

4. Not supplying reviewers with review models, at least in the US.

No surprise really. I would have loved a modern G5 at some point in the future. But now LG is gone, and the phones they released in between had nothing to do with what made the G5 and V20 good anyway.

The visuals are not that relevant for professional training, it's much more about accurate instruments and procedures. On the other hand, in my multi-crew coordination training the first part was sitting in front of a cardboard 737 cockpit. That could also be done with a cardboard cockpit + 2 screens connected to MS FS. Because with cardboard only you have no time pressure, while if something is really "moving" you do have time pressure.
Ubiquiti should really stop making cloud logins mandatory. The latest stuff (UDM/UDM Pro, Cloud Key G2) must be connected to their cloud at installation time. Remote access can be turned off but an admin account connected to their cloud remains.
