Why isn't Cuba the country organising their own cable connection? There are plenty of nearish places to connect to if the US doesn't want to be involved.
> Not even that is a given. It would be easy for defence contractors to form a cartel forbidding any of its members to let the customer do the repairs.

Even in the current environment, that would almost certainly trigger prosecution under the RICO Act as collusion and conspiracy for the purpose of market manipulation, just for starters.
Interesting demo, but I think the retina resolution has more effect on this.

Also note that blue neurons are also much less dense, and our eye blue channel has natively much lower resolution.

This is why in old Windows installers, blue color was used for gradient, when colors were 16 or 256 -- blue and black dots were blurred in the eyes, while the same combo of green dots was very visible.

I'm definitely biased, on my private machines, GNU/Linux has been my OS of choice for more than twenty years now, except for ~3.5 years of using a Mac.

Having said that, I really, really like MATE, especially because it doesn't change much. It's a great desktop, IMHO, so I want it to stay that way.

Hardware/driver support is a bit flaky sometimes, but it's much better than it was 20 years ago. And having worked as a Windows admin for a couple of years, I know from first-hand experience Windows has its own share of problems, and personally, I am much happier with GNU/Linux.
whoops, you are right, i missed that detail: https://github.com/red/red/issues/3412#issuecomment-39593686...

i am watching red on the sidelines as i am waiting for it to become usable for my interests, so i am not tracking every detail.

though i'd appreciate if you could use a less adversarial and demanding attitude. this is not appropriate for a Free Software and Open Source project, and it only serves to annoy the developers which reduces their motivation to work on the project.

your complaints, even if they were acceptable, won't help your cause. at best they will be ignored. at worst they will slow progress down as developers are less motivated.

it has been explained that the current compiler is not the final version, and as such, speedy static builds are simply not a development goal. and they should not be, because the goal is to rebuild the compiler, at which point this issue may be addressed if it is important enough. when that happens, then it is time to make a case for static builds. until then things will go faster if you could stay out of the developers ways.
I'm curious what the moat of fly.io is. Wouldn't Cloudflare use the same Firecracker VMs to replicate the same experience here if it becomes successful?
I’ve really enjoyed your videos about all the new boards coming out for the CM4. I can’t wait until it’s easier to get CM4s! I checked newark today and it said they’re backordered out to 2022-02-28.

That doesn’t seem odd to me. People do what’s best for them, and even if they underatand the dysfunction of North American urban planning well they’re not in a position to fix it.
I used for 10 years. Some weeks I would use daily, most weeks I would use a few times, many weeks I wouldn't use at all. Always in small amounts, and only before bed. During that time, I was able to make and keep close friends, work hard in a very successful career, and meet my wonderful wife. I kept my usage a secret, except to my closest friends.

I quit because I stopped enjoying it. It eventually made me feel stupid and lazy, rather than creative and relaxed. The more I used, the more found myself getting confused or distracted at work. I felt duller. Seemingly profound ideas I had under the influence seemed ridiculous the next day. I would also feel very emotional when under the influence, with little explanation. I realized that spending so much time in this weird state was potentially detrimental to my mental health and would eventually lead to making poor judgements in consequential situations.

While it's impossible to know in hindsight the extent to which my self-medication was helpful or harmful, I'm inclined to believe it was mostly a weight around my neck for all those years. I turned out okay, but I wish I had exercised more self-control. I don't miss it at all.
Democracy is struggling with misinformation because Governments are losing credibility with citizens, this is not my problem as a regular person.

I'm sick of hearing that it's up to "people" to be fed the right information so they behave the way that works for the Government and large corporations.

Why should I trust the WHO? Why should I trust the FDA? Why would I trust Johnson and Johnson? Why should I trust Pfizer? Why doesn't the Government fund an emergency trial on Ivermectin?

Do you know that these pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued if there is a problem with my health related to the COVID-19 vaccines? Why would I trust a system like that? Why wouldn't I be skeptical and why wouldn't fringe theories appear?

I don't want information to be hidden from me to influence my beliefs, I want all the information made possible to me so I can make up my own mind.

As Edward Snowden says, the worse conspiracies are in plain sight. I'm starting to think he might be right.
Such as...?

Also your logic doesn't hold. In cause and effect, you don't need to understand the effect to know the cause.

Interactive and high-level languages are really fun to use. This reminds me of Sharp tools essay in The Mythical Man-Month (1975).

"The most important two tools for system programming today are two that were not used in OS/360 development almost a decade ago. They are still not widely used, but all evidence points to their power and applicability. They are (1) high-level language and (2) interactive programming. I am convinced that only inertia and sloth prevent the universal adoption of these tools; the technical difficulties are no longer valid excuses."
I napkin mathed a rate of one notable strain every 100 million infections. The rates higher than one every billion. And lower than one per 10 million. Also read a paper that mentioned the idea that the reason people get reinfected by cold viruses every couple of years is because that's how long it takes the virus to evolve to escape immunity.

If you except roughly those numbers. If you got the infection rate down to 1 million / year. You'd see a new strain every 100 years. As it is we're seeing a new strain every couple of months.
You need to differentiate between making an income and making a profit.

SaaS is a resource sharing problem. If you can share the resources between different customers effectively it would be possible to make a profit once you scale up efficiently.

The technical problem is to build the software to be hyper efficient and scalable. The business problem is to acquire enough repeat customers.

Most startups are focused on speed to market or investor driven growth. Neither of which really helps the core problems
This is super cool! thanks for sharing!
Prometheism
Because "fertility symbol" is euphemism for "sexual".
There is an enormous amount of software being written every day, much of it outside of silicon valley, much of it outside America, there are far more forces at work here than the SV tech monopolies and while I absolutely find the picture you're painting to be believable I feel (hope) it might not survive reality.

It requires the big powers to work together, and for every other actor to not contest it, for governments to accept and endorse the monopolies, and we're already seeing some fighting back in those fronts. I imagine the monopolistic orchestration will pull itself apart long before general purpose computing dies.

I suspect we'll see much ado about all of this in court at some point, it will be sad to even get to that point, but even if the consumers are happy campers I really doubt other businesses, and other stakeholders (nations included), will be.
We don't know that anyone lied. The guy had two ex-wives and a girlfriend. Perhaps they didn't ask enough family members for someone's taste. But as others noted, an objection from one ex-wife doesn't really make that case very strongly.
This looks amazing. It seems like there's a lot of people working to make async happen with Django and that's a good thing.
That's not how science works. We don't fully understand most things, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Not "like life threatening" - Bad for our society.

In that free public conversation is centrally crucial to the sanity of our society.

And having that public conversation controlled by a profit-seeking entity is definitely detrimental to that conversation. And thus detrimental to the sanity of our society.

And an insane society is obviously all kinds of threatening.
I had a car with blue and red illumination in the dashboard. It always felt like I couldn’t see it properly - like it was blurred.

While I like the colour combination, my next car had orange displays, which always look sharp.
Where does the idea come from on HN that anyone is working on “general” AI? It’s a straw man argument. That’s not the goal of GPT3 or pretty much any of the current AI research.
I just tried to explain why people think your argument is fallacious.

You said:

> I am really curious to hear what's fallacious about it.

But apparently that was just a figure of speech, not an actual question.
> But an ethic of extreme sacrifice was cultivated – which was captured and reinforced with paraphernalia like the “90 hrs a week and loving it” T‐shirts.

This is the actual reality when job adverts ask for passion.
In my experience (I have over 10k flashcards in Anki and SuperMemo) it takes a lot of time to create the cards (vs. repeating/learning them). But the main reason is because I have to take time to think about and understand the content first, reformulate it in my own words (otherwise it won't stick well!), and cut it into bite-sized cards. What helped me most were articles "teaching" how to do this, or generally the experiences of others [1] [2].

From scanning your product's landing page, it seems you focus a lot on the time-savings during card creation, by relying on copy-and-paste. I'm not sure this is the best way to learn more complex topics, but may work fine for very clear things that are already bite-sized in the source material (e.g. chemical formulas, or language vocabulary). Are you focusing on these use cases?

The specific term of art is a "transfer switch". The phrase "decent sized checkbook" in the HN context might be $10k-$10m, but installing a transfer switch would only be a few thousand bucks if done to code by a professional.

Pay secrecy: Why some workers can't discuss salaries
“Democracy” and “health” are high level man-made abstractions, so they can hardly be placed at the root of anything, that's not just because of “free speech”. See how you didn't even try to use, say, “personal rights” and “personal life”; the panegyric for those who “know what's better for you” needs vague impersonal “democracy” and “health”.

Google has been doing anything it wants with people's data, news like these just mean they are lazily formalizing their power.
Yes, although it had well-known glitches after launch as well.
To prevent the users from accessing their own data? Any other scenario is infeasible.

>Effect on fiber optics is zero.

Note that underwater cables carry a copper conductor to power the inline laser amplifiers. Would they pick up an eddy current 100m underwater? Probably not, but you'd hope they have disconnect switches at the beach landing hut, and someone on call 24/7 within 10 minutes drive distance to open them.

Without the amps, an undersea fiber cable is just an unusually long strand of glass.

Ok, but “we’re only authoritarians when we need something” isn’t in any way better.
We already have a technology where people don't need to run servers: torrents. That's because everyone that uses it is simultaneously a server.

A big problem of torrents (and IPFS, and most p2p technologies) is how to give proper incentive for people to contribute. There are "cheating" clients that don't upload back for example. And there are people that close the torrent as soon as it is downloaded. Well, you can sometimes rely on people's sense of belonging to a community; or you can sometimes shun noncooperating people from the community (as in private trackers).

I think dweb's main contribution is giving the option of monetary compensation for participating in the network. Perhaps such incentive wasn't needed when people were just seeding things they are passionate about, like movies and music, but it may enable more boring stuff to be decentralized as well. Hence, blockchain.

Most current p2p protocols are about sharing data in a decentralized way, but you can also execute algorithms on this data. That's what's being done with blockchain today (technically you wouldn't need a blockchain for this, but we already established we might want a way to give monetary incentive to peers, so, there's that)

This scheme may or may not work. I think it may have adverse effects, like when the web was taken down by advertising and commercial interests. But it also opens a path to a new kind of web.

About ddos: existing protocols have a big problem with scaling; an actual denial of service attack would make things much worse. That's why Lbry (which is a decentralized Youtube of sorts) is mostly accessed through a centralized site, Odysee - funnily enough, Odysee doesn't use any form of decentralization to serve the videos. It could make peers serve themselves using webtorrent or other protocol on top of webrtc, and it might some day just do it, but it doesn't at this time.
Basically, at the point of the merge, nodes stop paying attention to what the PoW calculations are saying about the head of the execution chain, and start to pay attention to what the beacon chain (PoS chain) is saying about the head of the execution chain.

Because the two chains become inextricably linked together at that point, with the execution chain becoming entirely dependent on the beacon chain, we call that point the "merge".

So from that point on, new blocks on the execution chain - full of general Ethereum transactions - will be considered "confirmed" not because they include a difficult PoW calculation, but because the beacon chain has given that block its blessing (because stakers voted on it).
It's one thing to sell "Full Self Driving" with the idea that you are basically preordering and get access for now to something that is level 2 but more advanced than any other level 2 system. I don't know how you sell a subscription to something called "Full Self Driving" that doesn't do that at all.

It kind of kills the fiction that Tesla wasn't selling vaporware and just let people preorder FSD for less than it will cost so that's why its called "Full Self Driving". Now they are literally selling something that doesn't exist. The package does more than auto-pilot, but Tesla is not even close to full self driving regardless of the reality warp field they seem to exist in that puts them plainly behind the majority of the players in the field while their fans think they are the only game in town. They lead only in brazenness, they are the only company willing to deploy something half done to the public with the fine print that you need to monitor/be responsible for your "full self driving" car.

When you search Tesla on HN the second highest article is from FIVE YEARS AGO announcing "All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware" (which wasn't even true since that was back at HW2). I have no idea how anyone still thinks this company or Elon have any credibility, especially on FSD.
Commercial space launches existed before SpaceX. There's even been relatively inexpensive launch vehicles. Despite this you don't see commercial space telescopes. You don't really even see commercial ground based telescopes.

The reason is pretty simple, there's no money to be made. Your potential customers are researchers scraping together grant money. There's no way to make enough to cover the CapEx and OpEx of a space telescope let alone make a profit.

There's no magic SpaceX fairy dust you can sprinkle on a project to change that calculus. The launch cost is a small portion of the total CapEx of a space based instrument.

I think our brain would have evolved some sort of post-processing algorithm to deblur the signals from blue cones, if blue was so necessary.

But blue comes mostly as diffused light from the sky. And the effect is especially pronounced in dusk, when blue color floods everything and reduces contrast. That's why yellow glasses help to increase it back and are used in sports and in driving.
The tech is not out of reach, it's just not getting funding. See B612 Foundation.

> "...that contradicts official government records"

Whose government?
not quite. stablecoins do not get stability from belief in the backing assets. they get stability merely from a shared agreement to pretend the coin is stable, so as not to lose whatever stake they have put in.
Congratulations, if you do that every single day, that makes you a heavy drinker. Drinking alcohol every single day is already one red flag, and drinking more than one "drink" (one small bottle of beer, one glass of wine or one small glass of whisky/vodka/etc.) per day is a second red flag. Of course you can get much worse than that, but it will still negatively impact your health long-term.
I don't recall the launch as such, but in my memory, it was pretty popular throughout the 1990s. I don't have any first hand memories of the broken optics and the mission to put "glasses" on it, so I think it must have taken a while to become a household name, at least in Europe.

Once the optics were corrected, though, it became very big. I once heard an astronomer say that there is pretty much no field in astronomy that did not benefit in some way from Hubble. And for lay people like me, lots of stunning pictures. :)
Why do people in this thread seem so focused on profit? Everything has a need to make money or do you all work for free? Why is trying to make money on some hopefully valuable art you’ve produced bad?

It's also completely unremarkable across much of Europe to drink that much.

Are they insane? We routinely share important documents in Google Drive. Boring, non-controversial stuff, but vital. We can't run the risk of a _good_ ML algorithm, the type that outputs a wrong decision 1 in 1000, deleting it. Can you imagine the nightmare?
I wrote a krunkerio aimbot that unpacks the msgpack-over-websocket packets and injects the calculated mouse movements into the stream.

The biggest problem was the server only syncing the player position every second or so which means my middleware has can only provide exact calculations when I stand still. Solving this would require reading the process memory but that is exactly what I wanted to avoid :/

Bourdain put out an incredible body of work overcoming a lot of lifelong issues and I still love his show. Its just recently seeing someone like Rick Stein in the Mediterranean I realized its completely possible to do an area justice while also highlighting its best features.

I question my perception of some countries I know only/mostly from Parts Unknown now.
