Everyone shares the LTE network... And nobody cares. The fact you pay $90/month and someone else who pays just $40/month might be taking some of your bandwidth probably hadn't even crossed your mind.

Yet ask people to share WiFi and suddenly its totally unacceptable. "This is my bandwidth, I paid for it, nobody else can have any!"

I can't read the full article (paywall), but my understanding is that COVID vaccine developements were well underway by the time it was announced and the OWS had mostly to do with speeding up approval process, production, distribution and guaranting sales. Not saying it's not important, but I think DARPA's Moderna funding in 2012 is overplayed here.
I'm familiar with it, but I think I'm familiar with a different version than you are, because I don't see "expression" in it. I see "speech". I also see that the right to assembly is "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

In any case, quarantines have in fact been implemented in the US repeatedly over the years. So either the Constitution has changed recently (which might explain why your copy is different from mine), or they were so obviously not a violation of the First Amendment that nobody bothered to test it in a court of law.

For instance, here's a 1902 Supreme Court case confirming the ability of a state government to prevent passengers on a ship (some of whom were US citizens attempting to return to their homes) from leaving the ship: https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/186/380

No mention is made of the First Amendment.

> That from an early day the power of the states to enact and enforce quarantine laws for the safety and the protection of the health of their inhabitants has been recognized by Congress, is beyond question. That until Congress has exercised its power on the subject, such state quarantine laws and state laws for the purpose of preventing, eradicating, or controlling the spread of contagious or infectious diseases, are not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, although their operation affects interstate or foreign commerce, is not an open question.

(And the implication is that the only thing that would prevent a state from passing laws about quarantines is the federal government passing laws about quarantines and preempting the states - i.e., that Congress could certainly enact a nationwide quarantine if it wanted.)

Anyway, this is all beside the point - plenty of places other than the US, with no First Amendment or equivalent, have also failed to ever implement a real lockdown, because a real lockdown would have been politically unpopular. So it's not a matter of constitutionality.
> What if some virus evolved to work super intelligently as a hive mind?

I'd say that this would make that Hive organism look a lot like a macro-organism.

> ... in 1000 years we (assuming we are still recognizably human) will look back at our understanding of reality right now as nearly completely wrong.

So let's take gravity as an example. Newton proposed his laws ~350 years ago. Newton's laws are a pretty good approximation. Of course, Einstein improved on this with special/general relativity but... Newton's laws are still mostly correct. Classical and relativistic models only really diverge in extreme circumstances.

That's a long time to be mostly correct without a massive revision.

> This makes a lot of assumptions, including that intelligent species don't accelerate quickly into something unrecognizable as they evolve to more advancement

Yeah, there's a whole lot discussion about this as a possible answer to the Fermi Paradox. The idea has a problem though: ultimately civilizations are bound by how much mass and energy they have access to. If they aren't, this breaks thermodynamics.

So in a universe where this is limited, it will be an advantage for a civilization to hoard as much as possible for the long term. That sort of thing would tend to be... noticeable.

The other is that it isn't limited. If that's the case it really creates more problems than it solves. Basically life in the Universe should be even more prevalent and thus visible.

It's surprisingly easy to write an incorrect shuffling algorithm, and end up with a subset of permutations or a very skewed distribution.

(in fact, there's both obvious and interesting information preserved by a single riffle shuffle... which is why you need to shuffle multiple times in real life. It would be cool if the site emulated a riffle shuffle, so you'd need to shuffle seven-ish times to get close to a uniformly random permutation.)

That's kind of the point: the _small_ ones still exist.
It’s not an Internet proxy. There is so much misinformation about this it’s nuts. It’s a network to talk to AWS IoT API. It’s not giving random devices access to your network.
I used to use OBS to capture game clips, but it recently started capturing at shitty 5fps framerates and tanking my in-game FPS. I tried a ton of things to fix it but eventually gave up. Based on this changelist it doesn't look like the problem is solved. Oh well.

>Now some grocery stores have wine bars, beer on tap, signs inviting you to “shop ’n’ sip,” and carts with cup holders.

What the hell?! That's absurdly irresponsible and dangerous considering most people travel to the grocery store in a car. Why aren't local authorities stamping down on this?
One good reason is because alcoholic beverages could be stored for long periods of time and be safe for drinking. Water can become contaminated over time if bacteria is allowed to grow while it’s being stored, so it has to be relatively fresh to drink. Other options like milk would spoil quickly. Alcohol generally didn’t have these issues, giving it some utility that outweighed its advantages.

In an age where other beverages are as easily accessible for people living in the modern world, it’s utility isn’t there any more and you are left with all the downsides.
Was that supposed to be a backhanded way to call some large chunks of Europe "undeveloped" or did you just forget about Eastern Europe and all the economically less stable countries on the Mediteranean?

Alcoholism, poor mental health care, domestic violence, suicide, etc. etc. are all alive and well on the other side of the pond too. Just not in the "scandanavia plus rich parts of western Europe" parts that HN likes to idolize.
Intel/AMD have decades of experience trading off L1, L2, and L3 so it's unlikely that there's a magic design they've overlooked.
If it's only a matter of cooling why does the Intel also produce 4x the power consumption (not highlighted in the article, but still...).

If I wanted absolute best compile times I'd go build a threadripper workstation, but I need mobility and can't always rely on an Internet connection.
> How can a high be "more real" than what you perceive through your senses?

"Perceive" is the key word here. To draw an analogy, if your mind is a computer, your senses are raw data inputs, which your unconscious mind parses, filters, and transforms before the data is eventually passed to your conscious mind. Some hallucinogens give you a peek into this process - you get to see what's going on under the hood, so to speak.

Like a young child, you might find yourself enamored by the beauty of the simple greenness of a leaf.

These substances can teach you that there are many valid ways to "perceive" an event. It's not so much that what you perceive while intoxicated is "more real", but that it's an equally valid (and sometimes drastically different!) interpretation.

They're simple lessons that can mostly be learned without any drugs at all (meditation helps), but a proper trip can hammer a lesson home in such an immediate, visceral, enduring way that I'm not sure there's a sober equivalent.
> It's just a matter of time for it to actually work as expected though.

Eh, I mean they just recently made it effectively useless on iOS (requires a prompt before it works; unsurprisingly very few users give permission). Not sure why they'd go the other direction on MacOS... I suspect it's just there for Catalyst compatibility.
> nobody is going to die if they don't get meat

This is like saying "nobody is going to die from making 10% less money". In a sort of literal sense it's true, but in a more useful sense it's going to increase mortality at the margins (via nutritional deficiency, in this case). Meat is a luxury in the same way that bathing water or enough sleep is a luxury.
Okay so every device comes with cellular radios which talk to the same IoT API. Does anything really change for you?
I started thinking about that after I posted. What a shame that would be!
I need this for some vintage IBM/PC-compatible programming books that are a zillion pages long.
> On the other hand x86 has a lot of old "stuff" still needing support and use cases are much less clear cut (wrt. thinks like how many PCI lanes need to be supported, how much RAM, etc.).

Good point overall - the performance of Rosetta 2 helped facilitate much of this and - at least from what I've read - does seem to be surprising to folks in the space. So that also helped them out.

> America's early history is mass drinking ... since it was first touched by colonizers.
We have a small experiment with that already - corporate NATs which are supposed to achieve the same thing. They still get owned. Even SWIFT which is basically as isolated as it gets in business had bad actors with access.

I don't believe a complete separation would ever be possible. We'd have to put banks on the commerce side. But that means every single business entity would also have to have access to them. But most businesses also need access to the other side and will not do perfect separation.

In malware research labs you can find rooms literally painted in two colours to separate the isolated part and prevent joining networks by accident. Normal companies do not care that much. Most single-person entities will just plug both ends into one computer and go on with their life.
That is an interesting feature. I will work on that for the next version.
Having upgraded OBS before on macOS, I backed it up first, then installed the new version. As somewhat expected to me, the new version is not launching. I had to launch it from CLI to see and see there is an error:

error: os_dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib->libpython3.9.dylib): dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib, 257): image not found

It also changes something in the stored state on disk so that next time you try to launch an older version, it cannot launch either. So the issue damages the previous versions somehow as well.

Similar errors have happened to me in the past. If you are doing important streaming stuff, do not upgrade OBS as long as it continues to work. Especially if you are on a tight deadline or have a scheduled upcoming stream.
Maybe something changed, but I thought array concatenation with ~, associative and dynamic arrays as well as exceptions rely on the GC as well.

It's a short list, for sure, but thats not the point:
Anyone looking into using D without GC will see that there are some language features that require special care.

At that point it becomes a valid question why one should learn about the pitfalls of GC free D, when one already knows that about the currently used language.

GC free D is low friction, but seemingly not low enough for uptake from interested parties.
That can be true, but it's also massively oversimplified. Efficiency is usually overrated - lower prices come from cutting labor costs and product/service quality. In some cases, combination doesn't wind up lowering prices for the customer in the long run. Once market power is sufficiently concentrated, pricing power gets shifted to the suppliers and distributors, so prices can be raised back up to increase margins.

The local delivery may lose on end price, but they also provide a ton of structural benefits. Usually the cost savings the customer is pretty marginal compared to what has been given up.
Then you have pregnant women, and women who are trying to conceive, and sometimes their partners will also give up drinking in solidarity....
Yes but you probably would make those optimizations in C code and not assembly. The amd64 compiler is basicially the same C code whether or not it's been bootstrapped on armv8 or amd64.
I'm not convinced this is true, and even if it is, it'd only be because so many more people use social media. For any given individual who uses both, there'd be way more personal benefit to quitting nicotine than giving up social media.
Point this logic at the Tile network or Apple’s FindMy network. Does it still work?
Then there's the Acer way of naming products like "XR382CQK bmijqphuzx" so that each one is unique. I like Intel's clearly defined 9 > 7 > 5 > 3. However, I do wish that Intel made the model generation part of their marketing material so that retailers and OEMs would be forced to include that information in their product marketing too. Intel i7.2019, for example.
In any competitive game, if you’re ranked as #2 player, but you can join forces with player ranked #3 to eliminate player ranked #1, your best course of action is do that.

After player #1 is defeated, you have a good chance to defeat player #3 (because you’re #2, meaning you’re better player).

Player #3 joins this campaign in hope to defeat you, but also because they can get whatever second place gives.
They also don't use TSMC's sub 10nm nodes.

The whole point behind the effort of China and Russia is to have a CPU under their control, starting with the design but also including the manufacturing.

And TSMC uses technology for their nodes which is not under their control at all.

The amount of expertise China already has and will accumulate in the next decades should not be underestimated.

The topology for the commercial internet today is not the same as the topology for the early internet which that quote is from. Today's internet is more of a hub and spoke model that is much more susceptible to damage if certain nodes are affected.
Hawaii is an unsinkable carrier itself. If the US lost its carriers at Midway, Oahu would have been host to a massive force of fighters and long distance bombers.

Any Japanese fleet unlucky enough to come within five hundred miles of Oahu would be subject to an unending stream of heavy US bombers like the B17 escorted by long range fighters such as the P-38.

There would be little chance of any surprise either with radar installations far improved and a vigilant picket line of US subs.

Landing troops without air superiority would have been impossible, and it’s unclear whether a Japanese carrier fleet could even hold off US battle ships if they sailed with US air cover.

To win that parley, land troops and push a large US Army force off Oahu is almost impossible. But even then, to raid the US coast with your remaining fleet, against an even more formidable air and sea defense many thousands of miles from any resupply would be a disaster for the Japanese Navy.
Also, aren't forward contracts by definition unsecured as compared to a futures market?? If the supplier genuinely doesn't have supply or goes out of business, you've lost your money, right?
Also, many MB(|P)s get thermally-challenged and frequency-challenged because their sensors go tits-up.
You misunderstand the purpose of pentesting consultants. They exist to help companies check a box that reduces their legal liability, not to meaningfully improve those companies' security.

Now that there's an actual financial motivation for random non-tech industries to have decent software, they might start to do so.
Yep that's why I included that :) If you're not into wine and you don't fancy anything else then fair enough, I hope nobody's pressuring you or making things weird.

Nice to provide hardware hints and designs but geez that is almost the least of it. Cleverest hardware still only gets you a thumb drive full of page images. Now what? There needs to be a software workflow ending with a readable book in PDF, EBOOK or MOBI format, and there are many, many choices to be made along that path.

Edit: "Finishing a book" is discussed at a very superficial level here: https://vimeo.com/user33752051 at about 1:00:

"In order to turn these raw images into an ebook, the very minimum you need to do is A, you need to rotate them, B you need to crop them down to use the page [?], and C you need to combine them into one document like a PDF... You can do OCR to make it searchable ... color correction... de-skewing, de-warping ..."

Good to know about, but the really great contribution that Mozilla has made to localization is in Project Fluent (https://projectfluent.org/) which enables sophisticated translation with asymmetric localization, progressive enhancement, and other features critical to high quality localization. If you are just swapping in some strings then the usual combination of gettext and Intl are probably fine, but high quality localization often requires more than that.
I think about Google's scanner project a lot. I wonder if they are still scanning?

I would love if they found a way to offer those books (authors would have to agree) to the world.

If they did, I would forgive them for tracking me all these years.

I'd even put up with ads in the books.
I've embedded a browser window in an OBS stream on my mac, and it just about ground my computer to a halt; the CPU was pegged at 100%, and using it with Zoom basically meant not using anything else.

I'll bet some sizable chunk of the people who don't drink at all do it for medical reasons. (e.g. Older people on prescription medications).
I'm in a similar boat. I stopped, but without a timeframe for how long. I just knew I had to cut back, but that wasn't working well, so I just stopped, and when I was offered a drink, I'd say "I don't drink", because here in Australia, I find if you say no to a drink, it's mostly forced on you. The statement put an end to that.

However, I also internalized being an non-drinker. It became part of my identity.

I don't notice a measurable difference in my life, which is also part of the reason I didn't pick it up again. It wasn't enriching my life, but I'm also not a better person without it.

Having said all that, I am still looking for a replacement for what to drink when I do go to a bar. So far nobody has hit the right mixture of a drink that isn't defined by being non-alcoholic, but replaces the "I deserve this" attitude of having a drink .
