"the need for the "line-for-line" copying of just the API declarations was the bare minimum needed for interoperability in the world of software."

I would argue that the use of the Goldsmith art to create the silk screens was needed for the "interoperability" of the statement warhol was trying to make.

The fact that it IS specific, recognizable art is what makes the actual mental connection, a sort of "API of the psyche", if you will, and hopefully conveys the desired information to the endpoint, or viewer.
What is fascinating to me about this is the regions including [1] in North Dakota or [2] in northern Russia (~300 km southwest of Norilsk) that have incredibly large and bright zones of light pollution -- more than many large cities -- almost entirely disconnected from population, apparently as a result of temporary natural gas extraction infrastructure.

The pollution at [1] is larger/brighter than Denver, and [2] is about equivalent to Moscow!

A similar story occurred from the pursuing end in the 1980’s South West African Border War.

A special vehicle based South African unit called Koevoet(crowbar) was unable to capture an infiltrator who was on foot over hundreds of kilometres and a number of days.

The infiltrator discarded hypodermics, used for injecting meth, along the way.

It is an amazing chemical compound, but one with horrific negative consequences, even when carefully prescribed.
Canada uses a revenue neutral system where effectively all the money goes into a big pot and then is divvied up evenly, so it doesn't impact COL. The math says the majority of Canadians, particularly the working poor, come out ahead.

Its not actually emulating a real linux kernel. It implements its own "kernel" and elf loader: https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/tree/master/source/kern... so this basically is light WSL w/ CPU emulation to run wine.

The project running on browser is not the main point. It can run standalone, and is mostly used to run old games that no longer work well on modern hardware / windows. Heck you can even use it on Linux.

I think the coolest part of the project is that it makes wine very portable though. Boxedwine seems like it could run on android as well for example.
I don't see a way to access the article itself. From the abstract, it sounds like this isn't describing a randomized controlled trial, but rather a study based on database searches of VHA and Marketscan data?

Controls are mentioned, but I wonder if it's possible to correct for the reasons people might decide to get a shot.

Kaiser's recommendation: "Get a tetanus shot as soon as possible if you have a dirty cut or wound and 5 or more years have passed since your last tetanus shot." [1] (Emphasis added.)

This would tend to select for people who do more outdoor activity and are in better shape.

It sounds like doing an actual trial could be interesting, though.

> The thing is, we know that the router that's in a position to truncate the packet can probably get a packet to the destination (otherwise, it wouldn't have this packet). We don't have anything to indicate that it can get a packet to the source; and it turns out that often it can't.

Another point to add to this is that many routers will rate limit control plane traffic (ICMP, BGP etc), or prioritize data plane traffic ahead of it, so the ICMP too large message is more likely to be lost than a hypothetical in-band indication. It's the same reason you sometimes see packet loss in the middle of a traceroute, but not the end.

The story I read (https://andrewdamitio-92271.medium.com/the-decline-of-the-am...) says that there was a shift post-WWII that encouraged building real estate, the accelerated depreciation from the article.

Then as things shifted back to linear depreciation, it made building/running malls much less attractive, and we're seeing that play out over the 20-30 year capital lifecycle you mention.
I’m not OP, but my friend, you don’t get it. It’s sort of mind blowing actually.
You will probably have to be very careful with your choice of words. People with ADD often take things very literally and personally (rather like some forms of autism, apparently. It is technically very difficult to tell the difference a lot of the time since the symptoms can overlap so significantly). What that means is that snide off-hand or discouraging remarks can quickly shut them down, killing opportunities for what could have been an otherwise perfectly productive afternoon. When shut down, people with ADD can have a hard time getting back to whatever it was they were doing before that event.

The fact that you don't individually specialize in a particular thing is probably good. People with ADD thrive on novelty, as long as it doesn't introduce chaos and confusion.

If they get hyper-focused on something that needs to be done, do not get in the way, and let them at it. You'll get some seriously thorough work in that mode unless you distract them.

I also recommend making sure any instructions are well understood. People with ADD will often think they understand what you want, but can unknowingly completely misinterpret what you've said. It's not related to intelligence -- It is usually a result of taking words so literally. You'd be surprised at how vague most people can be, even if they think they are speaking super clearly. People with ADD often counter this with repeating themselves verbatim to ensure that what they are saying is understood or at least acknowledged. You've probably noticed that.
I also got one recently in the Bay Area. There were a lot of appointments available. It was at a medium-sized site set up for 4-8x the volume. Most of the people in my small group were there for their second shot.

If you look at the national vaccination rate, it looks like it's starting to level off. J&J makes up a small portion of vaccinations in the US, so especially seeing how appointments are easy to get, the rush appears to be over.

I am a researcher in academia that handles most of my system admin needs myself. It’s way cheaper to do yourself than some of these comments here make it sound (if you have good server rack space available). I ordered two 60 drive JBODs that I racked by myself (I removed all the drives first to lighten them) for ~82k. I used Zfs and 10 drive raidz2 vdevs for a total capacity of ~960TB of useable file system space. Installing the servers and testing some setups and putting it into use took about 4-5 days. In four years I’ve put many PBs of reAfs and writes through these and had to replace 3 drives. I’d estimate I spend about 2% of my active work focus on maintaining and troubleshooting it. Scaling up to 10PB I’d probably switch to a supported SDS solution, which would be much more expensive, but still way way cheaper than cloud.

>"If it is absolutely immoral to genetically engineer a human being that would require an organ transplant then it would seemingly also be immoral to not utilize readily accessible technology that could have prevented such a disorder, no?"

Well, actually, no - that doesn't necessarily follow. It's not valid to say "if it's wrong to do x then it's wrong to not do things that prevent x" - you can substitute X for plenty of other things. It's wrong for me to steal money from a friend, but it doesn't logically follow that I'm morally obligated to buy a security system for my friend so he doesn't get stolen from. The analogy is kind of funky here, but I think you get what I'm saying.

There's an intentionality that exists with genetic engineering that doesn't exist with people having kids the old-fashioned way. If someone has a child, and that child turns out to have a birth defect that causes issues, that's a sad accident most of the time, and accidents don't have the same moral quality as intentional acts, like genetically engineering someone.

Let's not lose track of why this came up. The question was "So, are trans folks immoral? Organ transplants? Prosthetics? Where do you draw the line?" and that was in response to "It is immoral to create something sentient which has not been created by natural processes. To bring a sentient being into the world which is created by human engineering process is immoral because there are no guarantees that we do not create something which is horribly mutated, fucked up genetically, and experiences only pain for its entire life."

Asking if we're morally obligated to try to make super babies is a distraction from that earlier question. I said what I did not because I wanted to argue for or against the validity of eugenics, but because I wanted to call attention to how absurd the line of reasoning was.

The person commenting thought that they hit on a pretty solid point when they seemed to equivocate scientists making human-monkey chimeras with people that have to use a fucking cane. I pointed out that no one is intentionally genetically engineering people to force them to have to use canes, and then you've come along to say that if it's possible to ensure that someone will be born without having to use a cane, then they're morally obligated to do that. Somewhere we went off the rails, huh?
People misunderstand what this would do. These would not be human-monkey hybrids. It would not be like a liger where it has properties of both species.

It would be more like a rat-mouse chimera, where a rat has a single mouse organ (e.g. a pancreas) or a human-pig chimera where a small number of human cells are disbursed throughout the pig embryo.

No one is suggesting a race of sentient human-monkey hybrids. Just monkeys which will host some human cells which can be studied for disease research or perhaps grow a human organ for transplant.

Without knowing how hardware forwarding engines work at any kind of detail, I would be wary of throwing more cores at this kind of problem, because you would need to decide how to divide up your work between cores. You could use a 5 or 3-tuple flow hash, but then you're limiting the speed of a single connection to what a single core can do. And if you use any other way to divide up work, you're bound to get out-of-order packets which kills TCP performance.

Not an epidemiologist but a bit of googling suggests that humans are the sole reservoir for the varieties of parasites that can cause malaria in humans.
I wonder if how much closer a 77% effective vaccine could bring is to eradicating the parasite worldwide.
I believe you're wrong.

Look at this part -

> you would still want electronic ignition, fuel injection, antilock brakes, traction control, airbags, onboard diagnostics... the list goes on.

Fuel injection is quite important; I drove a car with carburetor, but fuel injection was winning even before onboard computers. However you can have one with hardly any electronics; a rather small and simple analog circuit can work.

Electronic ignition begs question: what's that electronic in that? Electrical spark was used in cars, I guess, from the invention of internal combustion engines; but it's not electronic. Timing of the ignition? Cars can and were built without that; even if exists, it's something which sounds rather similar to fuel injection issue.

Antilock braking was invented and used as a mechanical system. Same with airbags. Traction control at least evolved from mechanical systems. Onboard diagnostics is nice, but periodical checkups served people well for a long time.

In other words, we can have a working car with necessary functions made possible either completely without electronics, or with analog electronics. In the worst case we might use small-scale integrated circuits - and that is already for functions which weren't that popular less than a generation ago.

My point, which I believe was misunderstood, is that it looks like a mistake to design a modern car in such a way that it can't be produced without relying on several exclusive manufacturers of high-quality semiconductors, while those semiconductors aren't critical for basic functions of the car. Those custom chips can't even be replaced with alternatives! Make at least an extension module, which would provide all those relatively recent features. I don't understand that it worth stopping car production in case those non-essential - even if quite convenient - functions can't be supplied at the same time as basic necessities.

Show HN: Terrell Owens becomes the first Hall of famer to Mint NFT's
I'm very curious to see what happens to Intel. When the TSMC Arizona plant comes online in 2024 or sooner there doesn't seem to be much left for it to do that AMD and others are already doing more effectively. Perhaps that's too much an oversimplification, however it seems to be the sum of the various parts given as others have said here and elsewhere (and was my experience too), the performance of Intel hasn't changed much in about 10 years.
I think that was a good initiative taken to save people from death as already lot of people died due to Covid-19
Terrell Owens is a 15 year football legend, and is now the first ever professional athlete in the Hall of Fame to drop an NFT collection. Spacecoupe is the creator of all the art in this collection. The items up for auction include:

Dallas NFT card (81 editions) - Buffalo NFT card (81 editions) - Philadelphia NFT card (81 editions) - Cincinatti NFT card (81 editions) - San Francisco NFT card (81 editions) - Wine NFT card (3 editions) - Chattanooga NFT card (1 edition) - Custom Football NFT card (1 edition)

The winner of the 1st and 81st edition of each card will also receive a CUSTOM HOODIE with the NFT on it. The winner of any of the wine editions will receive a hand-signed bottle of 81 Vino by Terrell Owens (with proof of legal age). The winner of the 1 of 1 custom football NFT will also receive a physical trophy football, custom designed by Spacecoupe and hand-signed by Terrell Owens.

yes, the TCO needs consideration, not just the metal
> We must take into account not just the immediate consequences of our actions but also the long-term ones.

Indeed. But we may not necessarily know the long term results of such actions. For example, we might experiment on people for some time in order to advance science to the point that we can cure all people, say for example, 100 years of experimentation for 1000 years thereafter of saving people. Is that enough? Is the suffering of 100 years worth of people enough to overcome the salvation of 1000 years' worth? I don't know, nobody could know, it's still a moral question. You seem to be presupposing a deontological viewpoint from my understanding given the specific sentence "Any society where people may be experimented upon is one where people must live in fear of being experimented upon."

> I challenge anyone to reference a society where some people can be seen as subhuman and say they would rather live there.

One could argue that this is current society, and it has been throughout human history if you take slavery into account; many people did in fact want to live in such societies, given that they were not slaves.

> To fail to take into account human dignity is tantamount to disregarding human nature, which just means your formula is wrong.

Why? This still seems like it comes from a deontological viewpoint. Why must we consider human dignity? It does not necessarily follow from your argument.

> you must also consider that there would be blood in the streets if science had no deontological bounds.

Again, this does not follow. Why would there be "blood on the streets" if "science had no deontological bounds?"

> I have a hard time imagining anyone commenting about the moral implications of the article would be unaware of the difference between deontological and utilitarian ethics.

Perhaps. Most people don't have academic or rigorous philosophical ethics knowledge.

v6 actually is pretty close to a wider v4. There are very few new things in it, the socket API is the same for both, and parts like addressing and routing work exactly the same. It could've been very different, but it's not.

Running v6 is similar in complexity to v4, but a lot simpler than v4+NAT. Since NAT is more or less a necessity in v4 these days, v6 ends up being simpler in practice.
