I recently wrote a BrainFuck program with the same functionality as hex0 in stage0. This does not solve the fundamental problem of trust, because you still need an executable BrainFuck interpreter or compiler. But there are many more different implementations in different programming language than for other languages, because it is so easy to implement.
Why debuggers matter and rd, a debugger written in Rust
The book talks about the environment - and damage to the environment can definitely be quantified and you should definitely be able to agree on limits (or sue) with your neighbours. A third party judge could agree on the decision.

Long term issues are factored in the market. People will have different options about long term issues.
Eg. If people think that global warming will be a problem for my house in 50 years that risk will be factored in the price of my house.
If that risk doesn't materialise I may undersell my house.

Long term prediction are definitely not easy and the market reflects that difficulty.
This seems like a great idea. It's a hassle to do this and for a bunch of use cases I can see outsourcing it like this as very useful.
Couldn't your argument be expanded to "marketers should be immune from critique if I am not offended by what they do" ?

Locking people up for doing drugs is a moral travesty. Locking people up for doing drugs while you also do drugs is... just like, entirely beyond the pale.

Extorting people for money is also bad, and I hope that the extortionists don't get paid, and just release this shit. Police misconduct is the worst sort of misconduct.

I think it's simple: Perspective, and emotional fatigue.

The first time <insert good thing> happens to you, you might be overwhelmed with excitement and joy. The 85th time, not so much. Hopefully you still appreciate it, but for the same dramatic response, the reward center needs more. Anything that happens to you 85 times isn't special enough to be life-changing, by definition.

The first time <insert bad thing> happens to you, you might be crushed. By the 5th time it happens to you, or you've seen it happen to others, you are just kind of immune. You know bad things happen, and you either decide to move forward or you do not.

Interestingly though: seeing someone else experience the now-banal-to-you positive thing can be it's own reward. Watching a child's first taste of ice cream is somehow magical. Or a puppy's first experience of snow.

And we try to have patience for the corresponding first-negative experiences too. A child who does not get exactly what they wanted for dinner, or who must go home from the park earlier than he or she might like...

(Examples above intentionally light-weight. There are real bad things that happen to people, but the level of emotional energy elicited by the trivialities can be enormous!)
Yeah who cares though? I thought the story was apocryphal altogether.

When I look at the individual glyphs, or even whole passages, I don’t like it. It looks wispy and particular. But there’s something really nice about the way it comes together on a printed page in a well set academic paper. It just looks right. Which could be a kind of Stockholm Syndrome I guess.

Sharing insight and/or experience != telling someone how to feel about something.

The truly insightful manage to prompt you to think without explicitly telling you to do so.

Robert Mendolsohn spent over twenty-five years as a practicing physician, and at the time of the publication of this book was the Chairman of the Medical Licensing Committee for the State of Illinois; he was Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine and Community Health in the School of Medicine of the University of Illinois, and the recipient of numerous awards for excellence in medicine and medical instruction.

From the book:
"I do not believe in Modern Medicine. I am a medical heretic. . . .
"I haven't always been a medical heretic. I once believed in Modern Medicine. . . . But I no longer believe in Modern Medicine.
"I believe that despite all the super technology and elite bedside manner that's supposed to make you feel about as well cared for as an astronaut on the way to the moon, the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine.
"I believe that Modern Medicine's treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they're often more dangerous than the diseases they're designed to treat.
"I believe the dangers are compounded by the widespread use of dangerous procedures for non-diseases.
"I believe that more than ninety percent of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth—doctors, hospitals, drugs, and equipment—and the effect on our health.would be immediate and beneficial. . . .
"Modern Medicine can't survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art or a science. It's a religion. . . .
"One definition of religion identifies it as any organized effort to deal with puzzling or mysterious things we see going on in and around us. The Church of Modern Medicine deals with the most puxzzling phenomena: birth, death, and all the tricks our bodies play on us—and we on them—in between. In The Golden Bough, religion is defined as the attempt to gain the favor of 'powqers superior to man, which are believed to direct and control the course of nature and human life.'

We've considered it, but one concern that I have is that the paid tutoring space is actually pretty saturated. We'd then be competing with all of those other sites to acquire middle and high income student/parent customers. Maybe we'd be able to get some market share if we played up the impact piece, but I'm still worried it would distract us from our main focus of helping low-income students get to college.

> for something that most of them didn't really care for or want to begin with

The evidence in the article seems to support the opposite. The only actual vote (that was discussed in the article) showed that the majority did want it.

Moreover your role as an honest politician, is to figure out how to improve the average persons life and advocate for that position. That position is not always (and is in fact frequently not) a position of inaction.

I highly doubt that the author (or anyone else, except perhaps someone running a municipal broadband contractor) has gone into municipal politics advocating for municipal broadband with the idea that it's going to be a direct net gain for them. As you suggest, the amount of time you have to put into it far exceeds your personal benefit. People like this almost always do it because they believe that this is the best course of action for the public good, not their own.

Not really. It's notional advice, offered in a spirit of kindness. You don't have to like it, but labeling it 'extremely rude at best' is absolutely infantile.
The needs of trucks are very different than the needs of commercial vehicles, so that 20-30 min charging time becomes several hours if not more. They might just do battery swapping at that point.

Look at volume instead of weight. Hydrogen is only 8 MJ/L in liquid form vs 38MJ/L for Diesel. Think of the space needed in the vehicle.

Next creating liquid hydrogen is a very energy intensive process compared to refining diesel.

Next energy in lithium batteries is converted to mechanical energy with +90% efficiency in a modern electrical motor. Fuel cells just like combustion engines are only 40-60%.
Yes, I am not disputing that. I am talking about the difference between giving someone advice about a situation they're in, and telling them how to feel about it.

"When I was your age, I didn't appreciate certain things so I'm pointing them out to you" is really different from "this is the best time of your life" which is a statement an external observer is just not equipped to make about someone else's life.
After basecamp saga. Good to see this.
The biggest unsolved part of EV IMO is the fact that mining lithium destroys the environment, and IIRC uses a fair bit of child labor. Looking at it from that perspective it’s not yet a green technology.
I absolutely agree with you. I would also do the same.
Here I think the author meant not so tech savy normal people.
> Consider, as a particular example, the issue of capital punishment. Some people might feel that the risk to themselves of being convicted, correctly or incorrectly, and executed for a capital crime outweighed any possible advantages of capital punishment. They would prefer, where possible, to patronize protection agencies that patronized courts that did not give capital punishment. Other citizens might feel that they would be safer from potential murderers if it was known that anyone who murdered them would end up in the electric chair. They might consider that safety more important than the risk of ending up in the electric chair themselves or of being responsible for the death of an innocent accused of murder. They would, if possible, patronize agencies that patronized courts that did give capital punishment.

> Disputes between two anti-capital-punishment agencies will, of course, go to an anti-capital-punishment court; disputes between two pro-capital-punishment agencies will go to a pro-capital-punishment court. What would happen
in a dispute between an anti-capital-punishment agency and a pro-capital-punishment agency? Obviously there is no way that if I kill you the case goes to one court, but if you are killed by me it goes to another. We cannot each get exactly the law we want.

> We can each have our preferences reflected in the bargaining demands of our respective agencies. If the opponents of capital punishment feel more strongly than the proponents, the agencies will agree to no capital punishment; in exchange, the agencies that want capital punishment will get something else. Perhaps it will be agreed that they will
not pay court costs or that some other disputed question will go their way.

This is exactly the consequences of "everyone chooses their own laws" put into action. Not only can we not get "exactly the law we want", we have to either pay off or haggle with everyone who wants a competing law (the amount of payment driven by how strongly either side "feels" about the issue in question).

I've heard ancaps argue that the current system in the West is similar (in that you have to accept the laws that the majority votes for). The current system is certainly not ideal. My point is that an ancap-style system doesn't even lead to anything resembling what most libertarians are looking for in a free society. (Anyone curious can read the two links in the post above for references to more material on what I think a rational path to a free society would look like.)

You have to factor in the losses inherent to hydrogen energy storage. You have to produce the hydrogen, compress it and then use a fuel cell to convert it back to electricity. If you account for all the losses, I bet that in practice, storing electricity with hydrogen is not so much different than using lithium batteries. Does anyone have some figures?

Typically drug use and poor financial decisions are disqualifying for things like security clearances, signature-level financial authority, or say, the legal ability to kill people and enforce laws, not because they're inherently bad, but because addiction and debt make you subject to extortion and bribery.
The theoretical limit of energy density for lithium batteries is already too low to be economically viable for most trucking applications. I also don't know that hydrogen is the answer, but it almost assuredly is not going to be batteries for anything that isn't for local deliveries only.

Just no. CM font was made for printing. It was last updated in 1992, before PDF was even a thing. CM is not made for screens and it is a horrible idea to use it on the Web.

> It's so good-looking that some scientists do research just so they can write it up in Computer Modern.

It's more like "undergrad students use it in their papers because they don't know better". The only Computer Science publications I'm aware of that still use CM are the Springer LNCS/LNAI series. Which also happen to still use a template optimized for printing the proceedings as books. And AFAIK, these templates are universally hated and considered archaic and outdated: They look bad everywhere (screen, A4 printout, letter printout) except the Springer-printed paper volume.

I worked in the commercial trucking EV space for a little bit and I don't know anyone in the commercial trucking industry that genuinely thinks batteries will be the solution for long-haul, class 7 & 8 trucks. At least not in the next decade or so, if ever. Elon and Tesla will tell you otherwise but there's a reason their Semi has been delayed for 3 years now...

Short haul, drayage, etc. is definitely workable with current tech.

They batteries you'd need for 6-700 mile daily drives would mean you're carrying a tiny fraction of what a ICE truck could haul due to weight constraints. We are making strides in this technology but are still nowhere close.

Almost everyone I've spoken to believes hydrogen is far more feasible, but it still has its own issues most importantly the massive infrastructure investment to support it.

Looks like a ballpark, current practical volume is around 25 liters per kg: https://energies.airliquide.com/resources-planet-hydrogen/ho...

I think the greater issue with Hydrogen is how it likes to go boom, and the greater the energy density you store it at, the bigger the boom!
Most commercial trucks are lacking for weight, not for volume.

They wouldn't use all those axles and tires if they didn't need to.

Weight and charging time are the current major roadblocks to adopting batteries. Hydrogen theoretically solves those but introduces a lot of technical complexity along the way and needs a supply chain that currently doesn't exist.
Any USD retrieved from TotallyLegitExchangeLLC up in Belarus could still be marked as tainted if most of its blockchain transfers volume originate from illegal activity, so I feel in practice you would be limited to a narrow band of exchanges popular enough to have legitimate traffic and yet still unknown enough that they're still under the radar of their parents countries and/or the US' financial institutions.
The embedded package repository is actually a major con IMHO. Making backwards incompatible changes is easy inside your monorepo, but if you a user building software it means that your code now depends on specific guix reversions as well as a specific commit.

In nix land, the more stable API means we are moving further into composible modules. Meaning you can now very easily have all your companies code in different (or one big) repositories that can reference each other easily.

However having used both guix and nix for several years now, I am firmly in camp they are the same.

The porcelain of guix is much nicer, but each can do everything the other does.

To me guix and nix are similar to a comparison of fedora and ubuntu. Both fedora and ubuntu are fairly different, but there is there is a 1:1 method to do everything in one in the other. Having only used fedora, you could easily figure out ubuntu. Everything is essentially done the exact same way, but different tools.

The same is true with guix and nix.
Thank you! I am already using it in 3 of my other apps.
