They don't work below a certain temperature because condensation collects on the cool side, creating frost, and makes them less efficient than baseboard radiative heat. The lower boundary is about -10c. Not to mention gas is just way cheaper than both of those options. But it does emit greenhouse gas. I don't know why this topic comes up so much recently. It's just not common at all where I am for a reason (Canada).

The author isn’t trying to answer a philosophical or scientific question, but instead just commenting on how we often have aesthetic views of consciousness. So just like he feels like the man on the subway is conscious due to his expressed emotions, he also feels like the rabbit is conscious due to the liveliness of its movements. That’s contrasted with his own view of himself, which while ironically he knows he is conscious, he feels his lack of vigor is a huge limitation.

I’m not sure this is a true disagreement is what I’m saying.

I can tell you that when I navigate around the web doing nothing more than having some web apps open, the UI for the whole OS will start stuttering and the fans will kick into action. `top` says this is all chrome.

I buy that the problem is “feature bloat,” but I also think a great deal of these features are possible with a heck of a lot less code and a heck of a lot less pointless GC etc.

.filter().map() may not itself be alarming for a few hundred elements…but it is for a few hundred elements multiplied by a few hundred features. If you still want those few hundred features, maybe it would be nice if some thought had gone into making them individually perform better.

Tangent: I love the Unix philosophy! Do one thing well. Nothing more satisfying than being able to pipe inputs to outputs and put together little programs out of modular components. But when you want to build a program, you don’t do that, because you care about the “well” part of “do one thing well.”

Context does matter for a lot of this, and I think there’s probably a lot of grey area here. Doing something high level? Whatever, just get the job done, focus on readability, don’t worry about the weird performance edges of it. It’s just that those chunks have a tendency to become bigger chunks and get included where they were never intended, or where their underlying implementation is accidentally replicated multiple times for slightly different outputs (in the abstract, like doing .map().map().map()).

Anyway I can tell I’m losing the thread and ranting mindlessly now…

I wouldn't go that far. On windows my headset shows up as two cryptically named devices, and using the wrong one or touching microphone input destroys the audio quality.

If all there was to language death was the speakers deciding to no longer speak their language, then there would be nothing much people could do about it. But many languages have been forcibly suppressed for generations. Public schooling, nationalism, and the decline of regional languages all coincided for a reason.

For instance, in France, 39% of the population spoke Occitan in 1860. In 1993 the Occitan-speaking population was 7%, and that number is surely fewer now. This was the result of a concerted effort to create a French nation, enforced through the public education system by abusing schoolchildren until they hated their native tongue.[0]

Language is a crucial aspect of identity (but by no means the only one), and 19th century nationalists understood this. The first generation become ashamed to speak their language, the second generation never learn it, and the third become full-fledged assimilated members of the nation. If there is a different group of people in your country who resemble you but have a different identity, destroy their language and their religion, and now you are the same.

Unclear what "more" means in relation to consciousness. More vivid? More varied? More aware? All or some of these? Just because our behavioral expressions seem subdued compared to animals (but do they really?), it doesn't follow that their inner experience has "more" of anything.

It happens.

As is said of academic politics: the battles are so fierce because the stakes are so small.[1]

Back at the dawn of the dot-com age, just as Linux was starting to boom, and the first IPOs (Red Hat, VA Linux) were occurring, a company appeared out of nowhere^WReno, Nevada (same thing), called "Linux One", claiming to have their own novel Linux distro. Oh, and plans for its own IPO.

It proved to be little more than a search-and-replace of "Red Hat" with "Linux one", though there were also some contributions from MandrakeSoft, another distro at the time. Stealing is copying from one source, curation is copying from several....

The thing is that, at least so far as the software is concerned, that's pretty much perfectly kosher under the GNU GPL and other Free Software / Open Source licences which comprised the scope of Red Hat's offering. In terms of copyright and licensing ... there was nothing actually wrong with this. Skeevy as all getout, yes. But not a GPL (or BSD, or MIT, or Apache, or ...) violation. (The company may have failed its source provision obligations for the GPL, however.)

The robustness of the IPO failing, er, filing, might have raised a few eyebrows elsewhere though. I seem to recall it being cancelled rather quietly, there's

Ask HN: How does Reddit track users?
Experimenting with multiple accounts, I've found that they're able to track devices even when I use TOR browser and follow the instructions (no plugins, not maximizing windows, etc.) With an account already banned, I can create as many new ones as I like, but they are shadow-banned from the start and posts aren't ever visible to anyone else.

Apart from the usual data (OS, CPU, GPU), what other information do they collect that makes it possible for them to match new users with existing ones? Are there any simple ways to prevent this fingerprinting?
I can second this. I have a couple different pairs of Bluetooth headsets with microphones that work flawlessly on android, iOS, and Mac.

Windows 10 gets decent audio quality until you try to engage the microphone at which point it switches to a different audio driver with the quality of bad cellular phone call. It sees the headphones AND a generic “Bluetooth headset”. I’ve seen the same behaviour across Sony, Beats, and AirPods.
> Defense companies also spend millions in lobbying both directly and threw a whole network of think tanks and people. People with very strong association with those very defense companies both inside and outside of government were very strong driver in lying the US into war in Iraq in the first place and made ISIS possible in the first place.

Agree to most of the point, but note that AQI predates the 2003 Iraqi war (founded in late 90s)

> They have a significant part in lobbying for war, for weapons export, for more spending on military spending and so on.

Also agreed, for good or bad (I would say mainly good)

> Defense companies also strongly coordinate with Israel and the Israel lobby to make sure continuous money flows to Israel and Israel can be a first class buyer of US weapons.

That goes both ways, Israel is one of our main partners in defense (and related) research, they are also the US's main ally in the Middle East, Allies trade is nothing new?

> They have strong ties to government and make absurd amount of money on many of these projects despite routinely going over budget by absolutely insane amounts.

Yep, there is a certain culture in those companies that tends to... encourage that behavior. And the lobbying makes that space harder to get into

> Yes, companies that build weapons to some extend need to exist but the defense contractors are not ethical in the least and I would not work for them. Maybe in the civilian part of the company, possibly but even that would require a lot of thinking.

If you want to extend the ethical thinking train, the only companies you can work for are the ones that operate on a mom-and-pop shop scale and there is nothing wrong with that. Applying that critical lens to only defense contractors (not that you are doing right now) is a bit disingenuous
This is pretty much already assumed by program synthesis work AFAIK. There's also work on synthesis from I/O samples (e.g. FlashFill) but you don't get very good guarantees (and sometimes it makes hilarious mistakes: https://i.redd.it/c4lufe3m6jh21.gif ).
Preserve as in archive is a critically important task, and with recursive problems of today's archived books/audio/video being accessible with next century's tech. Preserve as in routine use is a terrible idea. If this article was written in Elfdalian, none of us would understand it.

There is a lot of elegance in MS-DOS software and some even write new code as a hobby. But if you distribute your code on floppies nowadays, you will not get anywhere useful.
I have no context here, but from reading the post, it sounds like they did in fact pick a different name, but they picked one that let them reuse the same executable name for API compatibility.

In the business world, picking a different name for marketing and using functional elements for compatibility is a good way to get sued but win. See, for instance, Sega v. Accolade - Accolade sold software for the Sega Genesis without Sega's approval. Sega added something to the Genesis game loader which checked for the string "SEGA" and displayed the message "Produced by or under license from Sega Enterprises LTD." Accolade's games caused that message to appear, even though there was no license. The courts ruled that Accolade was entitled to do this, because the point was compatibility.

Only because of dead links to the case and RFID reader parts.

Otherwise, it's a fairly straightforward step-by-step setup guide. (Specifically for an IT person setting up the hardware terminal.)

The actual UI and backend are out of scope of the guide; the last step in the process is pointing the hardware at a web page that renders the UI and actually logs the punch-in and punch-out.

If I were deploying this, it makes sense - web devs and IT people can look at the main GH page to set up the backend and web app; and then they send this page to someone with only moderate technical skills to set up the hardware terminals.

Seriously. It feels like an entire area of JavaScript I pretty much never wade into anymore.
Well, Urs actually gave answer at all-hands meeting, when everything became “cloud, cloud, cloud”. Clouds grow so fast, that Google would eventually stop being hardware purchaser #1 in the world, loose best discounts, which would make Search/Ads unprofitable. So there was no choose but to join cloud arms-race.

But of course it was too late. It was essentially IE moment for Google.
>I would still remove them in favor of arrow functions and spreads.

Entire Javascript needs to be removed in favor of some other language. It's literally garbage. Callback hells, prototypal inheritance, constant new features ala async/await, Promises and a new framework every 2 years. It's not even a functional langauge just some features of functional language. Endless introduction of new syntactic sugar to cover up the old fuck-ups and weird behavior on every corner.
But that's not how assimilation happens these days right? People are begging to come to wealthy countries.

It's closer to a search engine. It's not competing with developers, it's competing with opening up your browser and searching for "astar algorithm implementation."
The rationale that the uncontrollable feelings convey more consciousness doesn’t follow for me either. Our own ability to reason about the state of our being, threats to our safety and a command over what we do seems reasonable that humans are experiencing a consciousness that animals do not enjoy.

Places that take academic honesty seriously tend to find ways to not have cheating happen in the first place. Caltech is notorious for it's take-home exams for instance.

But let's look at the reality of a student at a normal institution or trying to get into college today; it's a series of high stakes exams that decides your future. And a prisoners' dilemma since as soon as someone cheats you have to do it as well just to keep up. This used to be high risk high reward but now, thanks to the pandemic, it suddenly became low risk high reward. No wonders everyone is doing it.

Really, it's a great equalizer. Pre-Pandemic, it was a common strategy to get "diagnosed" with ADHD to get extra time during exams. But for that you needed well connected parents. Now everyone can cheat.
Wouldn’t a compatibility symlink or shell script have been enough?
To me it seems that what separates us from other animals mentally is the ability for abstract thinking. A thought about a thought is itself a thought.
> It is the EMA for each digit, rather than each code. So you have one EMA for all the first digits of all the codes, one for all the second digits, and so on.

> You can then make it more intelligent by having even more different EMAs and picking between them in some more intelligent way than just by digit. By digit is just the easiest option.

Ok cool, so if I'm using uint8_t, ill have an ema for each of the 8 bits. And yeah, I'll start with the easiet just so I can nail the implementation then try playing around with different emas if i'm not satisfied with it (right now I can turn 29kb to 5kb with paq8fthis2 compared to 12kb with snappy, so hopefully using something like this will make it go lower).

> However, if the probabilities change throughout the file, the dynamic version again gains the upper hand since it can adapt to changing data. How quickly you let the EMA change also affects this.

Yeah, I suspect this to likely be true. I'll need to probably play around with the ema weights to see how that will change things.

Thanks for helping me understand this all! I started out trying to compress the data by representing as a matrix with fewer # row operations to get back to the original, then ended up having to deal with it traditionally… lol

Clicking through to the actual study:

https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2021/EE/D1EE0...

"Based on these data, we estimated the total electricity required to enrich 1 kg lithium from seawater to 9000 ppm in five stages to be 76.34 kW h. Simultaneously, 0.87 kg H2 and 31.12 kg Cl2 were collected from the cathode and the anode, respectively. Taking the US electricity price of US$ 0.065 per kW h into consideration, the total electricity cost for this process is approximately US$ 5.0."

So, the electricity usage is even higher than you estimated, with an even lower cost per kWh. But that said, there are places in the US that have even cheaper electricity (especially if you're looking at industrial rates).

What scares me is China is making moves and just seems to do everything right while the US stays paralyzed and stumbles across every obstacle. It seems inevitable China will be calling the shots soon. A scary dystopian dystopian regime will be mandating world affairs. And things are not all rosy here either. I think its naive to say things are better on every front. The middle class has been shrinking over the last couple decades in the US.

>- Force the project onto GPL3

Pretty sure this isn't allowed. The terms of GPLv2 allows the recipient of the software to modify and distribute the software under terms of GPLv2 or later. The software isn't public domain, someone owns the IP. You can distribute your own changes as you please. You cannot strip the IP owner's license and replace it wholesale.
Right, this is why EOs don't have the force or law or are able to change how courts interpret existing law. They are rules for the federal administration only, but they can have an effect by the power of the purse, for example not purchasing goods from vendors that don't adopt a policy.
