So you're saying you'd run an entire Linux kernel within a WASM VM?

You lose hypervisor speedups, kernel feature parity, introduce a whole new surface area for security exploits since you're throwing away the entirety of linux's history, and what's more, it was still possible with the JVM.
Much of the forest in CA is managed by the US Forest Service, so you can't blame CA officials for everything. Plus, you can only safely do controlled burns in certain weather windows (not super hot, rain likely coming, etc.). Given we are in the middle of a historic drought, the dry fuel levels are likely much too high to safely start controlled burns.
Lived in excess (mostly) in ignorance.

Now that we know, it is better to help the next generation live better without giving a pass because “that’s not fair, you got to do it” which is more akin to children’s logic.
Maybe not what you were looking for, but some FAQs[0] were released by Apple today. I found them here [1].

A strange thought just occurred to me... they said that it was fertile with olives until it was destroyed by the fire. Plants grow and create fruit through cellular division, right? How is it possible for a plant to live for 2500 years without spontaneously developing a malignant mutation / cancer? Is it possible for plants to have cancer?
State of the art in crazy expensive racing yachts (think America's Cup) is limited by cavitation on the foils to a bit over 50 knots. Ice boats are setting records over 120 knots. If someone figures out a magic foil, that gap may close, which is a thought that blows my mind.
So the law should be Washington Post has a criminal-trial style burden of proof for articles?

China's GDP per capita in 1973 was $157, which was lower than North Korea. Of course, any country rising from such abject poverty will see drastic increase in energy usage.

I'm not saying we should give China a free pass, but I believe the correct path is for the West (or whatever country you're in) to take initiative and reduce CO2, while using that as a leverage to pressure other nations. Too many arguments end up sounding like "Why should I do anything when $(country X) isn't doing its share?" I believe that's not productive.

* Also, what's up with immigration quotas? You don't want more people to live in a society with more efficient energy usage (by your own admission)?
> If anyone actually believed it was "code red for humanity" they'd be pushing nuclear power

In theory. I used to say the same thing until recently. Now, I'm not sure.

Let's say we decide that yes, nuclear is the way to go, as it provides a lot of energy with barely any pollution (other than mining and construction). The 'waste', while a problem, is inconsequential compared to spewing crap in the atmosphere.

Let's also assume that the designs will not cause proliferation concerns (we have such designs, as well as more plentiful fuels). In fact, let's assume we will use the best designs we have in general.

Even then, what's the turnaround time to construct new power plants? The figures I've seen suggest it takes almost a decade until a plant is operational. Do we still have the time do build them in enough numbers to make a difference?

Hey, dang, I am an anonymous user creating accounts when needed. I just created one to be able to reply to you :-)... knowing that I bypass the "you are submitting too fast" break, that I should actually take.

You have blocked multiple of my accounts, but, hey, nevermind... I will always create new ones and I am (truly) happy, when you talk with me, then. I always experienced you as just a moderator, but you are also "YC", so it makes sense that you are chiming in now... esp. since you are active/work in this area (early YC batches).

The names reveal age (certain names are popular at certain times) and ethnicity and ofc it's my intention to clearly show that, especially since we had the "TV for blacks" sponsored by YC the other day.

> Why shouldn't YC fund great startups regardless of where they come from?

:-D :-D :-D - Yeah, right, I accept defeat. What do middle aged white man commit in increasing numbers in America today? (It's not crime).

That's not true though.

The way to win at this game...

...Is to not play it at all; especially during the hype.

Even at this time since 'anything' can happen. Too many things in the crypto industry is already happening which could move the markets either way.

So sit back, relax, and watch the chaos and hype die away, with out any emotion, then jump back in.
I don’t hold the view that Apple is trying to eliminate end to end encryption. I view this as a push by governments to do so and the increasing willingness of the tech industry to work with them.

This is more like Apple giving way gradually and the government happy since in the long run they get everything they want.

Examples: we don’t unlock phones for the government… but we give them all the data if you back up your phone… but you have so much privacy!

We don’t read your messages, oh wait now we do, but only for child abuse, oh wait, we don’t control what it looks for but let’s not talk about that because it hurts our marketing
Ask me in 2500 years...

I absolutely agree with you, it's a nice conversation to be had. But this post wasn't about "why age is explicitly included in the application process".
what's odd about this article is the conflation of more transparency/input into air rights and design, and the super-rich building opulent skinny towers in an opaque "cap-and-trade" on air rights.

'yes' to more transparency, but 'no' to slowing down development via "community reviews" and more zoning/code restrictions, even if it only benefits the wealthy for now. slowing down development doesn't provide any more affordable housing. that requires other policy changes, and more importantly, political will.
So the cost is you add another tool (yarn) to your toolchain and this is better than NPM because your deps are all in one folder and just mapped through a header file instead of being duplicated for every project, am I understanding that right?
Back when tld's first started allowing foreign entities to buy their domains, I registered ru-ready.to and im-ready.to with the hopes of starting a small biz selling landing/redirect pages with names like: ru-ready.to/rumble (a boxing page?).

The web was still too nascent to make something of it, so I just let the domains lapse a year later.

Having said that, more people are online and more sites are creative with their URLs, so I do think there is a business hook there.
Crypto markets are not exactly known for being rational.
> Humans made space for their preferred ruminants, like beef, by displacing vast populations of other ruminants which have similar climate impact. I don't think most people fully appreciate just how large the natural population was before we started raising beef at scale. Even if we eliminated the beef herds, other ruminant species would immediately start filling the vacuum.

The problem with beef farming is that vast amounts of forest are burned or clear cut to allow cattle to graze. That alone raises the carbon footprint of beef. Grass on the pasture definitely doesn't sequester much carbon.

When we talk about wild ruminants, some regions that are used for cattle didn't have a bunch of ungulates on it before. South America for example didn't have huge herds of llamas roaming the lands.

In North America Bison herds were estimated to number about 10 million, but right now there's somewhere around 90 million cattle in the US. Even if cattle farming was drastically reduced, it's unlikely Bison numbers would return to their historic amount. Deer are the other part of the picture, and their numbers would sky rocket, given the opportunity. But that's where managing their numbers and reintroducing predators comes in.
Which do you think we have more robust data about, Earth or other planets in the solar system? The amount of data has a large impact on Bayesian inference…

What, in your opinion, would be the correct way to measure direct human impact on climate? Until very recently, we didn’t have direct measurement of the Higgs particle and yet we were able to do wonderful things inferring the strength of gravity by other means. Point being, I’m not yet convinced your bar for knowledge is appropriate.

And my comment is not meant to distract from your point about central government but rather to question the strength of the basis of the claim. On the contrary, I felt your comment was a classic misinformation tactic but I was trying to employ the tack that every downvote deserves a response
Southern Ontario has forests?
A bit pedantic. I agree the GP doesn't add much to the conversation but they're clearly referencing the hoard of people who still think climate change is a hoax.
Everything is subjective
To me, the more interesting thing about this article is that professors are only moderately correct about what mistakes their students typically make. This despite the fact that we might expect professors to be experts on what their students have a hard time understanding, and what mistakes often flow out of those misunderstandings.
Math is about symbol manipulation. Some of those symbols are numbers, and some of the manipulations are arithmetic.

Can Silicon Valley Find Its Way Back?
:-) well, it was a college lab.

I had three big problems with the NeXT systems.

One was the MO; that was dire and terrible and they should never have shipped it. This was very rapidly fixed by adding HDs to every system as soon as we realized what boat anchors the MO-only systems were.

The second was the poor HW quality of the mice and keyboards. They simply broke a lot more frequently than the PCs, Suns (even the cheap pink/grey ones that I've forgotten the name of), SGIs and Dec systems.

The last was that we were an AFS university and the NeXT systems, if you accidentally browsed the AFS top level directory, would hang the browser for at least 30 minutes. Super unpleasant if you needed to head to class since a locking screen saver did not kick in even after the browser recovered. As a side effect, we'd have students yanking the power cord which itself was not always something that the HD slabs recovered from.

That said, I loved them, everything about them, and there has never been anything like that. The Sun-vs-NeXT thing was night and day.
Climate Change – The bottom-up approach works
Hey there. I have been working on a climate change app (changeit.app) and quite often I get feedback that is not up to the individual to change their behaviors but to the companies and policymakers. There is nothing the individual can do besides voting!

Since the beginning of 2021 that my app has had more than 2k downloads and on average each user was able to reduce 200kg from their monthly CO2 footprint! That's crazy! Especially given that, on average, one tree can offset 21kg of CO2 per year!The reduction that our users were able to accomplish in one month corresponds to what 9 trees can offset in a year!

With 500 active users, we were able to save 1200 tons of CO2 per year (57 142 trees)! So I truly believe that each one of us can and should do their part for a more sustainable planet!
Only because any accidents, while rare, are incredibly high profile.

Where's the compensation for all the deaths due to coal plants? Unlike nuclear, they spew carcinogenic crap in the atmosphere by design. And some radioactivity too.
Everyone should be at all times scared of government power, and no saying "just elect better people" is not a solution.

Government should be limited in power and scope, never allowed to expand beyond that power and scope, unfortunately since the 1930's we have allowed the US government to expand to a size that is untenable and is at odds with the concept of liberty itself
The typing exercises remind me of 80s/90s computer magazines having basic/asm code for interesting programs or games. You had to retype them to run them.

It was slightly before my time, but I suspect a large number of people got through the "learn the tooling" stage simply by retyping, looking for the mis-type when they got it wrong, and learning how to understand the feedback.

The natural next thing to do is to try to change some values and see what happens. All of a sudden you're learning how the whole program and environment work together and can always go back to a known good state by retyping what the paper says.
I wonder if any improvements could be made to mitigate some of these risks considering we’ve had 50-60 years to learn.
I didn't know this existed! This is great. Does anyone know if other brokerages do this too?

For a good while most people were better served by yarn anyway. I don't know exactly the current state of npm, but part of yarn's draw (even prior to the pnp aspect) was having deterministic builds. Even with a package lockfile, npm couldn't do that.

Maybe I've just seen "Little Shop of Horrors" too many times but "interesting" seems a less accurate attitude for me towards these discoveries than kill it with fire!

Though as long as insects are the primary target I'm prepared to entertain the option of a cautious cold war rather than all-out destruction.
Right on. Someone has mentioned aerobraking somewhere above, but for those with fewer hours spent in Kerbal, this may be of interest ;)

A delta-v map will usually include atmosphere as a separate route from the raw energy requirements of entering and exiting gravity wells. Some of the counterintuitive aspects of these flight plans involve “very nice, ok! But how do you plan to slow down when you get there?”

On arrival to the moon or mercury (or Minimus) you have to be able to stop under your own power, which you have necessarily brought in your tanks. And therefore mass.

Too bad the resonant microwave propulsion thing was more likely a poorly designed experiment (acceleration without propellant). But… it violated our understanding of physics, so we’re stuck with bringing our gas everywhere.
Why is it that when I look at Yarn releases on GitHub it doesn't show v2?

Tactically, defense is stronger than offense in that you need a numerical advantage to defeat a prepared defense.

Strategically, there is a lot of value in the attack because you can choose the time and place of fighting to your advantage. This didn't pan out on the Western Front of WWI for a variety of reasons.
Not at all -- what I'm saying is that tech people end up misleading themselves in terms of likely outcomes by having these discussions and focusing on the hard discrete lines around this or that particular technology.

What very reliably happens is -- thhe people who make the decisions (who, unfortunately, are very rarely tech people) will lump them in anyway LATER, when it actually matters and is too late.

So your point is technically correct, and simultaneously absolutely does not capture the problem with facial recognition adequately, because it doesn't factor in "if you get people to sign off on Apples specific thing today, you'll basically be able to sign off on just about anything that sort of looks like it to the layperson" tomorrow.
If I take a picture of my adorable toddler playing naked in a sprinkler in the backyard and CPS calls that child porn and takes him away from me, that's a false positive.

I don't know much about abusers, but my hunch is that they know they are abusers and will more-or-less accept being caught. But what I know about non-abusive parents is if you take their kids away, it's war.
The issue with natural products is lack of patent protection, so drug developers are unwilling to develop plant extracts. It could be reasonable to anticipate non-profits such as Johns Hopkins or Vanderbilt to pursue ideas like this, but it doesn't happen.
> Whereas for example an FPGA implementation, that’s in line with my idea of “build your own NeXT”. Even though someone might say, that’s emulation too. And they’d be correct in a way. But like, do you see what I mean?

That would be acceptable, as you built a machine that functioned exactly like the original, running the OS on bare metal - not on unrelated hardware under emulation. That would fit my idea of "building" the machine as well.
Would you mind sharing details about this, and your experience?

I ask not to challenge you or critique, but i have a deep interest in fintech and love Typescript. The ability to use it for fintech would be great, i just assumed it'd be too clunky to be practical.

Marketing in this manner is deceptive. Saying it’s “by and for” open source maintainers gives the impression this is a grass roots effort, when in reality this is a corporate initiative.

Ask HN: Developers living with CFS, what are your tips?
For 20 years I've been a developer, cycling between non-restorative sleep and heavy fatigue (with brain fog).

It's incredibly hard: my brain is either not wanting to accept any input or it's burned out and sleep deprived.

I get all my work done on time, but always feel guilty and incapable for taking so many breaks.

I've taken less money to work for a company that offers me 7 hour days with reasonable workloads.

It seems to get harder every year and there's no way I can do this for another 25 of them.

Those with CFS (and I know the severity of this illness can vary greatly):

- How often do you break?
- Do you have any career tips for those living with this disorder?
- Do you have any lifestyle tips for living with this disorder?

For anyone:

- Are there any other software related positions that aren't as stressful (that don't involve talking to people, as I often can't always follow).
- Are there any tips for retiring early in this field? I've been trying to be more frugal, which is surprisingly fun.
Overall strategy: Bio CCS to address the carbon surplus. Also, curtail anthropogenic GHG pollution with taxes.

GM kelp (M. pyrifera) and phytoplankton to grow even faster, automated oceanic farms, and sink material to the deepest trenches.

Cancer isn’t even guaranteed in animals. Naked mole rats are notable for being mammals largely immune to tumors. They’re fascinating in other ways, especially their eusociality.

Cancer-like growths in trees exist, but they don’t have the problems with metastases animals do.

Quite, and yet the magnitude of their pleasure may be mirrored by their smile.
>By reducing the incredible irresponsible per capita emissions of the USA other countries can develop within a fixed CO2 budget.

The only reason developing countries like China and India have low per capita emissions is because they have massive populations. I'm not willing to lower my standard of living because Chinese and Indian people like to fuck without condoms. Get them to cut their population of 70% and we can have a conversation.
Ugh. Feel free to expound any of your vague replies in this thread with actual explanations that make sense under any reasonable interpretation of "on device."

The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist (Magician, Silverthorn, A Darkness at Sethanon), while not an officially licensed D&D tie-in, is based on a D&D campaign the author played in at UCSD in the 1970s.

I think the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson is also based on an RPG campaign, which started out as D&D then switched to GURPS.

Both are worth reading.
Haha, very good.

In fact, we had some equipment similar to that on this site https://solarlight.com/product_category/products/solar-simul...

Basically a super bright light source with a similar spectral output to our sun. A roughly 1x1cm solar cell in a nitrogen filled chamber is wired up to check the output under the incident light. Very cool production process. I was extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to help with the research.
