I sailed cape to cape on the Bark Europa in 2018, and while we did need to use the engines at times, there was a strong preference to sail under wind power unless absolutely necessary. Everyone in the crew was very much environmentally focused.
On the point about warm showers... It's pretty cold down there around Antarctica!

I loved travelling with nothing but the wind powering us, and I'd prefer to sail over flying, preventing a lot of emissions. Unfortunately the world moves too fast now and we can't afford to spend months at sea.
You're absolutely right! Edited the gp from "strictly dominate" to "are probably even with". My memory of the piece was playing tricks on me. That was a serious error, thanks for catching it.

My best guess based on a rereading of the footnotes is that the performance ceiling for chess is probably low enough that it has been ~reached by both centaur teams and pure engines. So the two would have been operating neck-and-neck as of ~2017, with win rates largely determined by random-ish factors like human mis-clicks (also mentioned in the article).
+1 Law is human-to-human agreement about a lot of vague soft stuff. Code APIs are computer-computer agreement.

Some exceptions to the above are:
1. Financial contracts (see ISDA derivatives).
They're written with a big "human" document upfront and then there's a "notification addendum" attached to each use of that contract.
2. Master Sales Agreements (MSAs):
The first MSA is a human-to-human agreement. Everything after that is order-forms. And negotiating the MSA requirements is very very human (risk, trust, effort, cost, benefit & promises). Order forms are pricing decisions that can be "automated" (especially around annual renewals if within budget without red flags).
A short squeeze also happens when you have forced buyers (desperate to close their short VIX futures position) with a limited supply of sellers. Which is exactly what happened that day. It’s not the VIX index itself that caused the XIV to be wiped out.
Sure, and other developers want to get paid for their contributions, so they use copyrights. Pirating those pieces of software is only not theft in the narrow sense of not literally taking an object that can only belong to one person. But it's clearly breaking some sort of agreement of exchange that the creator tried to build into this process, which is some kind of immoral.

That's not to say that every copyright is good or makes sense, but blanket statements like "piracy is not theft" are either so narrowly scoped to be useless ("it's not theft, it's some other unethical action") or ... wrong?
Sounds a little like the “tough it out” attitude doctors have with their 24 hour shifts during training . I don’t think this can be justified rationally.
No intuition? What is intuition other than a position assessment heuristic? Game-tree AI must limit the game tree search at some depth. In order to exploit this, the opponent would need to identify the position strength at a deeper level than the AI’s search depth, which seems unlikely.
Not GP, but I would highly prefer they give eye witness testimony much less weight than they do today.
I believe it.

I got a reMarkable 2 tablet, and holy wow is that thing amazing. Amazing writing experience, solid OS, and fully modifiable. You can just SSH into it and away you go.

I also got an Onyx E-Ink tablet with Color screen of Aliexpress. The device was underwhelming due to poor software and perfectly smooth screen, but the e-ink screen was legit. If this device is able to combine the flawless execution of the reMarkable 2 with an e-ink screen, that would be something to see.

EDIT. The reMarkable 2 has one problem- it needs a backlight.

It's because they use the devices for eavesdropping. If they want to use data they collected from eavesdropping in court, then they need a warrant.

For example, if they're spying on a drug dealer, they can determine the right time to pull them over for a traffic violation and also catch them in the act of transporting drugs. If law enforcement doesn't submit evidence obtained from spying, it looks like whoever pulled them over was just in the right place at the right time[1].

Well, the numbers output by the program are reasonable.

Total proceeds - total cost basis = taxable income

My theory is that the IRS is interpreting the total cost basis as $0. They are ignoring all my BUY events and that the crypto is appearing out of thin air (without regard for law of conservation of energy and costs Elon Musk is complaining about).

The reason I didn’t originally go to a tax professional is because my computer program made 100,000 trades. I didn’t trust a mom and pop shop to properly account this this, especially since there were trades between different cryptocurrencies which makes the situation even more complicated.

Atleast the service’s output is within the same order of magnitude as the money I withdrew from the exchange, less the money I deposited in. Whereas the IRS liability is 20x this

This, trying to push the idea that fighting the virus or investigating the outbreak theory are mutually exclusive, is also a rhetoric I would expect to be pushed from the party responsible for the outbreak.

Truth is, why obstruct investigation efforts and try to hide the facts if the origin of the virus is natural?
Because of a lack of resolution.

Plausible is totally and absolutely GDPR compliant so there is no need for a GDPR consent dialog, which essentially asks for a permission to track the visitor itself personally. GDPR is all about identities.

However, most European countries (like my home Finland) have a law that requires a "milder" consent to be asked when the visitor's device information is being read for non-essential purposes. There's no way around this[1]. These local laws stem from the ePrivacy directive.

>UK thing or a 1980s thing //

I think it's both, in the UK at least.

The Beeb in school in the 80s had a 5¼-inch floppy disc drive. The BBC Domesday project, 84-86, was on Lazer Disc. But as Compact Discs took flight in the domestic market we'd moved to 3½-inch floppy disks; which by the 90s were labelled "diskette" IIRC and so were called disks. Then hard drives were called hard disk drives I think because they came from the global/USA market, so the only "discs" that remained in common use were optical discs, and the split - for me at least - was kinda-retconned in that optical discs were always 'discs' and magnetic were always 'disks'.

The early UK made hard disk drives were [sometimes?] called "disc drives", http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/22567/%20Acorn%20BBC%... this one from Cumana, Guildford, UK, http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/36026/Cumana%205.25-i... says "disk drive" though, and I'm shocked ;o) ...
What does the phrase "I know about probability math" mean in this context? It sounds like you're implying that you have a probablistic model for this scenario, if so I would be very interested to see it.
This is super neat and fast as well. Well done!
If I have a virus, how do I tell if its natural or man made? Unless someone has gone out of their way to add an indicator won't all viruses just be the same?

It's not like you can leave finger prints or a "made in China" sticker on a virus right?
vcluster maintainer here. Right now, it is more about multiple vcluster running on the same Kubernetes cluster which addresses the multi-tenancy issues of Kubernetes. However, a single vcluster with multiple Kubernetes clusters to schedule workloads on is a super interesting idea as well. Federated clusters was a big topic a few years ago but it is very hard to solve.

Multiple wings were popular in the WW1 era and right up to WW2 because the engines were weak, meaning the plane flew slowly and thus needed a large surface area to generate lift.

Lift ~ surface area of wing * velocity^2
https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/lifteq.html

At slow speeds, you need a lot of surface area. As speed increases, the required surface area decreases rapidly.

Remember the first flight was made on what is basically the power of a modern lawnmower and so was quite slow and required massive wings which created all sorts of stiffness problems. The wings could tear off the plane in a sharp turn or even a gust of wind. Imagine a plywood skeleton covered in canvas held together by suspension wires.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%A9riot_XI

Thus the idea of cutting the wings in half and stacking them atop each other as biplanes or even triplanes in order to make them stiffer while maintaining a high surface area to generate the required lift at the slow speeds of the day. The stiffer wings also allowed for sharper turns, but suffered from more drag. But at those slow speeds, drag was not so much of an issue as it also goes with the square of velocity.

That meant that biplanes had a big advantage in terms of maneuverability and stability and so outperformed the fragile, slow turning monoplanes in WW1 dogfights. But over time, improvements in engine technology allowed for much higher horsepower -- we went from 40hp engines to 1000hp engines in two decades. That increase in power allowed for increased speeds and reduced the need for wing surface area, and with the increased speed, drag became more of a concern, at which point biplanes were at a disadvantage.

But during that transition period in the 20s and 30s, when early monoplanes were introduced and competed with biplanes they would still tend to stall and were not nearly as maneuverable. New materials -- corrugated iron -- were introduced to help stiffen the wings but even then the pilots of the era hated flying these "iron planes" compared to the more nimble wooden biplanes. WW2, of course, changed everything with monster engines and shockingly fast planes, leaving biplanes for the world of hobby flight and acrobatic exhibitions.
Funny you should mention the military industrial complex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military-entertainment_complex

> In Hollywood, many movie productions are directly supervised by the Department of Defense's (DoD's) Film Liason Unit. Directors looking to borrow Army material for their movies need to apply to the DoD, and submit their movies' scripts for vetting. Ultimately, the DoD has a say in virtually every US-made movie that use military resources in their production.

> If I can automate the work that I currently hire fresh grads to do - the work of actually drafting up contract agreements for review and wills - but price my services just under the prices offered by other firms then I can make a killing.

This is probably true, but has a definite knock on effect that breaks the existing training model pretty badly.

I suspect the longer term stable solution is relatively fewer working lawyers relying more on tools - but transitioning the industry to that model will be painful.
Since this question revolves around words and their effect…

"most populated" > "crammed" > "jailed" > "the new warsaw ghetto"

there must be a word that describes your question of why:

The word you're looking for also describes what's enabling the cognitive dissonance of putting Gaza in the same category as a Singapur, a Tokio or Hong Kong without blinking: Economic powerhouses that draw talent from developing and developed nations worldwide vs. a town with an economy that only consists of NGOs, the Hamas and UN-Organizations (The wage gap between ordinary gaza citizens and those working for the state is 50%).

But instead of owning that word, it's easier to just keep uttering "Israel is bombing one of the most densely populated places in the world".
Any law only works if the majority of the population is on board with it. Especially when breaking it doesn't result in any damage. (Lost profits off of potentially selling an imaginary right to a particular sequence of bits aren't damage.) Copyright simply doesn't work because most people either don't care or are actively against it. Marijuana prohibition doesn't work either for the same exact reason.

Now, I would respect copyright, but only if two things change. First, it should last no more than 3 years for creative works and the term should be dependent on the field for patents. Second, it should not be transferable.

> and not even any more advanced civilizations to help us

I think there are other civilizations. The universe is unimaginably immense, it's very much improbable that there aren't other planets with life. And, we can't completely disregard the idea that we aren't the first advanced civilization on earth.

> What if copyright turns out to be the Great Filter?

That's unlikely. My bet would be that there are other intelligent civilizations, they're more advanced than us, and they're watching us waiting for us to discover something before allowing any contact. That could be the origin of life, or the theory of everything, or a free/extremely efficient energy source, or some kind of spaceship engine that would allow faster than light travel, or any number of things really. It might be something social, but probably not copyright — world peace maybe? Or some entirely novel type of economy that benefits everyone instead of making the richest even richer and everyone else miserable?
Unix was also a skunkworks project running on pretty limited hardware. E.g. /usr/bin was added because the disk volume for /bin ran out of space.

So it used very limited tools, like C with its very simple semantics and a preprocessor instead of a module system, very simple kernel mechanisms, etc.
I'm sorry but I really cannot see how everyone knowing (since we on HN knows it must be widespread) is China being good at keeping people quiet. Instead of downvoting how about explaining the logic?
This is different but related. China has no ability to influence GPS accuracy within its borders. What they do is manipulate all of the authoritative maps available so that GPS coordinates won’t map cleanly to the digital waypoints in the map. The GPS locations are very precise, they are just off by as much as a quarter mile in varying directions depending on where in the county you are.
Doesn't LiFePO4 have substantially the same electrolyte yet is self-extinguishing?
Ephemeral clusters for dev and CI/CD is the main use case right now but due to the fact that the pods don't take a performance hit - as you already mentioned - because they are scheduled in the underlying cluster, vclusters can also be a very interesting concept for production workloads, effectively sharding your k8s cluster into logical clusters / control planes.
Is it though? If humans instantly realise that the three black bishops have some special significance and a chess engine does not then apparently the chess engine lacks some understanding that humans do have.
Yeah, that can't possibly be correct.

The Department of Defense employs two million people, and literally none of them are empowered to start a war.

There are a lot of experts in munitions and logistics and everything else and job is to inform and execute the decisions made by the political parts of the government. Their counterparts elsewhere in the Civil Service do the same.

It seems kind of obvious to me that a democracy has to have this structure: if the technocrats were directly setting high-level policy, what would the political appointees even do? Likewise, you need more implementers than steer-era.

I'm highly skeptical that the navy has real Buck Rogers space ships when they can't even procure warships that work. The LCS and the Zumwalt class destroyer are junk. So is EMALS, the F-35C and the rail gun they tried to develop. Yet, they still don't even have the money to prevent the fleet from rusting.
I don't think anyone is distracted by this to the exclusion of all other considerations, certainly not of political issues. Even conspiracy theorists are capable of holding more than one thought in their head at a time.

It's not completely "Biden's" policies (the federal reserve is not Biden) but inflation is being driven by much more then lack of computer chips. And to some extent it is deliberate.

Inflation is a way governments can borrow money at one valuation, pay it back at another lower valuation. And it helps smooth over rough patches in things like public sector pension funds (at the expense of those who were expecting to receive pensions with a different buying power then they receive).

Some amount of controlled inflation helps move the economy along. Complete lack of inflation usually means no growth. But it's always a transferal of real wealth from one group to the other.

I built a head tracking mouse replacement. It’s assistive tech for people with paralysis, bad RSI, etc. The software is fairly polished with a decent GUI. I used OpenCV and NumPy for the visual processing. Aspects of it were based on a good technical paper Microsoft put out on mouse ballistics. There are some commercial products that do the same thing, but at least compared to the ones I’ve tried, mine is more precise, and much less susceptible to background noise. The latter ends up being pretty important for long term usability. I built it to be cross-platform, Windows, Mac, and Linux. I’ve used it every work day for the past 8 years; it totally cured a bad case of RSI I was having; for that alone I have to consider it a total success.

I chose to open source it because I decided ultimately it was way more of a niche business than I wanted to be in, and I wasn’t convinced it was a money maker. I figured maybe I could help some people who needed it.

I presented it at a major hacker conference; the same year Edward Snowden was the keynote, that was very cool. So what happened after that? I think it went from having 1 to 4 stars on Github (and zero forks). I’ve never heard of anyone using it. It’s there if anyone wants it. How do I maintain it? If I find a bug that bothers me enough, or an OS compatibility issue comes up, I fix it. These days I only really maintain compatibility with Linux and only a dedicated hardware mode, that uses an Arduino to get foot pedal inputs for mouse clicks.

This can’t be an uncommon scenario, you make something cool, release it, and all you hear is crickets. The software was always single-purpose: a tool for me to do my work. Without being hyperbolic I can say it literally saved my career. One other unexpected side effect: any job interview in which I’ve gotten far enough to talk about this project I’ve gotten an offer. I don’t think the code is that amazingly clean and it’s not solving an impossibly difficult problem, but there’s something to be said for making stuff that actually works and having the entire code base visible for review.
