Regarding UBI I have asked this in multiple forums (not HN) so I'll ask again and see if you (or anyone else) has a response to this. After the oil bonanza in the middle East, a number of countries pretty much had a UBI like system for all their citizens and most still do. In effect, what I saw when I've been there was not that people have engaged in creative endeavours, or things that UBI proponents often claim will happen once everyone has UBI. They imported lots of workers from poorer countries to do all the shitty work, and treat the workers horrifically. The amount of time spent toward religious activities is absurd. E.g., shops and markets entirely close down multiple times a day for prayers. This has other knock on effects as well. How do we know this is not what the US would head toward if UBI is implemented?

Unregulated capitalism. As long as it makes economical sense everything else can be ignored, giving away things probably would be too much paperworks. It's like supermarkets spraying bleach in their trash so that you can't grab soon to expire goods
So consumers end up paying more for goods, while salaries remain the same.

Surely you appreciate how that’s a problem?
non-interactive proofs set an acceptable failure level. Because of this, some people call them "arguments".
Generally, the chance of failure is set to something like 1 in 2^256. Which is low enough to be totally trust-worthy.

When talking about this chance of failure, you have to take into account that an attacker can try to repeat as often as he wants. If you presume he has 2^64 attempts (which is unreasonably high) then his chance of finding a correct proof would be 1 in 2^192. Which is still truly negligible.

This wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat%E2%80%93Shamir_heuristic

Has a nice explanation but I figure you've seen that already.

In short the idea is:

- Set an acceptable chance of failure (like 1 in 2^256)

- Trust the output of a hash function to be random (random oracle model)

- Use the hash function to derive the "challenges" normally made a by an interactive verifier based on the commitment

Because the challenge(s) are chosen according to the random oracle (hash function) they are random. So it is impossible for the attacker to pick his commitment based on the challenge.

The way PHP is built (start and die) on each execution. Compared to anything else, thats "running" PHP needs to do more work on each startup. This is also why its impossible to build a websocket server in PHP (without hacks like reachphp).

this is one of the main reasons PHP IO (read req/res) is slow. You can search for benchmarks if you so choose, and a basic setup for PHP is usually in the 300-600 req/sec range.

It's also effortless to set up and run with their RAID system and syncing etc is very good. It'll let me know if there is a problem with a drive, it keeps itself updated and I've never had to reboot it.

I do not use it for Plex as it wouldn't be able to handle it. They are a bit under powered but they're very optimised for their main purpose, Network Attached Storage, and that's the most important thing for me.

It is also very neat and tidy, unlike most home made solutions.
Absolutely. The dog "Bunny" for example is really an incredible version of that. Watch a few of these videos and it will change how you see dogs for ever.

Organic Maps is a fork of MAPS.ME, after MAPS.ME jumped the shark and pivoted to something involving cryptocurency.

I think that "curated" refers to maintenance/development of the open-source project.

By "curated ... by MAPS.ME fouders" they mean that the Organic Maps maintainers include founders of the original MAPS.ME project (e.e.g, biodrankik is Alexander Borsuk, a former co-foudner, CEO, CTO of MAPS.ME [1,2]), which suggests that they have the experience to continue updating the app.

I don't know any name for it, but it's well-known in economics.

If you want a new, unused hard drive, drop by my office, there's one on a shelf here. It was bought for a sensible reason. But selling it, or finding someone I could give it to, isn't worth my while.

So someone has a pallet of Dyson fans on a shelf in a warehouse in Dunfermline, and for whatever reason the time/effort/money costs of storing it there or shipping it elsewhere outweigh the likely income from selling it later.

I'm a bit surprised that Amazon doesn't operate a market for that kind of thing. Bulk Marketplace, no returns, no warranty, FOB Amazon warehouse. Or maybe it does?
> So far, history has not been kind to those civilizations exhibiting declining populations over sustained multi-generational spans.

And yet Japan has some of the highest quality of life, a huge economy despite very few natural resources, some of the most innovative companies in the world and the longest lived people on the planet. It's been the poster-child for westerners as a failed economy with a lost decade and yet they keep on doing fine despite 30+ years of this narrative.

Try moving somewhere with rampant population growth and tell me it's great. The underlying general trend for the vast majority of people on Earth is to get the fuck away from other people and move to low density countries where the mineral and agricultural wealth is spread much thicker. GDP growth means nothing for the average person and most realise this.

Honestly ? When communist stopped being a real threat sometimes in 80s.

As horrific as communism was, the average worker in the west probably indirectly benefited from capitalist being scared of something similar happening closer to home, and gave concessions.

After the fall of communism that trend reversed and workers are steadily loosing ground.

As someone who was born in one of those communist countries I am glad that its dead, and I don't want it to ever come back, but It did serve as an example of what can happen if you try to squeeze too much out of people.

You seem to be on a tear today. FYI, I added my flag here:

As well as adding a flag to one of the comments in that discussion that attacked you. I don't leave a lot of flags on HN. For various reasons, I'm pretty conservative in my use of flags.

I'm surprised to see this particular piece where I am currently commenting got so many upvotes and so many comments. I asked about the mechanism of how this drug works and got some meaningful engagement and also some really worthless engagement, in my opinion.* And then I lost interest. I couldn't readily see a meaningful connection.

But you are basically talking about censorship. Censorship grows interest in the forbidden topic. I wholly disagree with your position here.

If this is the garbage you claim it is -- and it may well be, I just don't know the topic well enough to affirmatively agree with you -- then there are vastly better ways to kill it without harming freedom of speech.

Well if you are comparing non-standard database features you are out of luck. Im talking about the 95% CRUD stuff that you do. Basic selects/joins/aggregations etc.

Its super rare i see the need to actually change the underlying database from say postgres to mysql. And in this scenario you are still screwed if you did use a ORM, with database X only features.

My point was basic SQL knowledge transfers between databases for the bread and butter 95% of things you need to do.

This. I’ve been arguing for years that I can do my job effectively remotely and now that it’s proven and I’ve seen a drastic improvement in my mental and physical health I really feel like I need to fight against giving even an inch against the default to have a hope of landing somewhere in the middle.

While I respect and understand (even if I disagree with) people that say they need an office, they’re just really not my concern right now. There will no doubt be office-only jobs for the foreseeable future if for no other reason than inertia. Without the fight, remote-first jobs won’t be there for those that want them.
That's correct, Safari does its image decoding via OS-level image decoding (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreimage).

The only power Safari devs basically have is to decide which OS-supported formats to enable/allow and which ones to disable (e.g. JPEG 2000 is enabled but HEIC isn't).

So getting JPEG XL supported in Safari will most likely first require it to be supported in MacOS and iOS. If you have an Apple device and would like it to get JPEG XL support, then feel free to open a Feedback Assistant ticket (there's an OS-level application to do that) to make a feature request. (I did that 5 weeks ago but haven't heard back yet)

One big problem I have with the image/video format zoo in the browsers is that it becomes an incredible complicated task to get the media out of the browser in a format all the other software can work with. It would be amazing if the browsers offered a built-in „Download & Convert“ feature for images and videos.

Pages automatically defaulting to webp so you try to send the link through a messenger and you might notice that it doesn‘t work for everyone, either iOS users can‘t see it or the messenger interprets it strangely. So you try to save the image and send that, same problem, you get the webp image…

Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.
I can't give you specific advice, but in general it sounds you are already on the right track. You are basically exposing yourself to this new stuff, it raises questions that you want to have answered and you reach out to a community to know more. The stuff they wrote you don't understand YET is part of the journey and if you continue to practice work in that domain, you will be able to connect the dots. TL;DR My advice is, be fair to yourself, accept it's a new domain and be resilient and continue despite the difficulties. I hope a systems programmer will give you more specific advice.
You can do this by following Ben Eater’s 8 bit computer build. Then use that to build and compile out everything. That’s as close to barewires as you can get.

Ok it's old but: raid is not backup.

I've personally worked for a small online shop that was selling digital items and shut down when their raid failed. Of course, they had ignored my warnings to build a mirror system or do copies on removable drives or ... anything resembling an actual backup.

Edit: that said, I do have a box that's pretty similar to what you're describing.

It's all done with shaders. A good starting point is https://thebookofshaders.com/. You can learn a lot from people's examples on https://www.shadertoy.com/. Another amazing resource is iq's website at https://iquilezles.org/.

Something to note - it's all math. Changing other people's code and implementing things other people have devised is quite straightforward, but making new styles requires a good understanding of some relatively complex math topics. I'm not saying that to put anyone off - the opposite in fact. If your math isn't great or you're a bit scared of it then learning shader coding is a brilliant way to improve.

> Having the box "sleep" for 95% of the day, and wake up the disks only for one or two bursts of activity is interesting to me.

Have you really managed to get that to work? I got a QNAP TS-230 a few months ago hoping I could do just that, but it turns out that even this smallest NAS box they are offering isn't really designed with this "occasional use" in mind. There are so many user questions about this (https://www.qnap.com/en-us/how-to/faq/article/why-are-my-nas...) that they even built a half-baked utility that's supposed to give you a hint which process is preventing the drives from going into sleep mode, but it's not a great help. I have disabled all services (photo indexing with face recognition and other such crap) except for the most basic ones, but still the drives are happily chugging along, flashing their LED every few minutes, not spinning down. I know that it's basically a Linux computer, and there are probably utilities I can install to diagnose the issue better than with the above-mentioned software, but isn't this something that's supposed to work out of the box, or at least be easy for an average user to accomplish?!

The parallels with how biological life started are tantalizing. Life also "optimized away" its origins after the initial bootstrap, through increasing layers of sophistication.

AFAIK research into origins of life is stuck somewhere around the GNU Mes level now. We know of the weird mutual dependency between proteins and nucleic acids (RNA and ribosomes in particular), but noone figured out how to kickstart the process from one turtle deeper yet.

Biology is still waiting for its "stage0".

It makes me excited that we're still so close to the origin (of computing) that such questions are vaguely tractable.
> But if it is enough to survive on, then too many people who are capable of working will choose to instead just survive on it indefinitely.

If this turned out to be true, perhaps this says more about contemporary society than human nature. The tendency to offer low wages to replaceable workers, to force people into taking multiple jobs in order to survive, and to dictate a lower social status to some of the most essential roles in human society is bound to taint some people's impressions of work.

It is. The written sources we have for norse mythology are 13th century, and those are compilations of earlier (lost) writings and oral traditions. There are written fragments from the 10th century referring to the norse gods.

What do you mean by greater circle?
The circumference of the earth is 40,075,000 m.
Speed of light is 299,792,458 ms.
So we're talking about 40,075,000 / 299,792,458 = 0.1337 -> 134ms to get around the earth once.
As the earth is an ellipsoid that is mostly perfectly round, you can assume, that from any point A to B you'll just need to travel half of that, so we're at 67ms for light speed.

Looking at the 150ms now, which is about 2.3 times the 67ms, this kinda seems reasonable.
