The solution is to look at our culture and systems of governance and employment and understand what can be done to enable and encourage more people having children.

Bringing in more people is just a lazy fix and does nothing to fix the underlying problems.
Running into a wall is not a result of NN prediction. It's a result of naïve linear prediction. NN will predict that he'll stop, turn around, may be shot someone. The hard thing is to not disappoint NN by actually running into a wall.
Maybe I missed something but the article mentions that the rear engine design lives on in smaller jets for reasons similar to why it appeared in the first place.
But we don’t know that Google’s storytelling was bad , all we know is that they were quite successful in pulling in money, pointing towards the opposite if anything.

The article is meant as a how-to of how to win over investors. So your rebuttal of my comment is ‘just be Google, then you won’t need Storytelling (maybe, because maybe they were pretty good at it after all)’? It’s like telling budding school bands ‘just be Beatles/Nirvana/Beyoncé’. How that is helping the average guy trying to build their pitch deck?

Amazon enabled IPv6 for various CDN endpoints serving images and static assets this year. At least they've made progress.

A few years ago when forcing Reddit to IPv6 through /etc/hosts many pages resulted in 500 errors, but they gradually fixed them.
The whole issue surrounding IPv4 and 6 is a racism issue.

Why does India and China both have high implementations of IPv6? Because most of Europe and the US have all the big blocks, and either refuse to sell them or are actively hoarding them (like the real estate crisis right now).

Except... Racism?

Countries that US, UK, etc have invaded and camped on for decades or centuries are only beginning to recover. So, those countries got on the internet much later. And because of orgs grabbing every block they can, it leaves little to none for the countries who were late to the internet game.

Is there a good reason why the DOD is hoarding 5% of ALL IP4's? Or had Ford (vehicle company) pivoted to tech for their 16 million IP's? Why does Apple hold on to theirs - what are they doing with it?

The "first world" owns the primary means of the internet, which leaves the "third world" with scraps. And in this case, scraps are the few IP4's they can get, and have to make do with IP6, with its 2^128 IP space.

But, I think the worst insult, is all the 'first world' services as posted by quaintdev (google.co.in amazon.in paytm.com twitter.com flipkart.com hotstar.com primevideo.com) that plainly aren't accessable without using the 'first world internet' aka IPv4.

Theres only enough of these coincidences that line up, before I believe that there's something more sinister going on. And keeping 'those people' away from the IPv4 euro-centric network is I believe the primary intent... AWS/GCE/Azure here in the States has never had an IPv4 allocation problem with machines I build. Hmm.
> I don't think Europe or the U.S will volunteer to absorb tens of millions of refugees if there are other solutions.

Who said anything about volunteering? Europe couldn't stop ~1 million people from entering in 2015, so what makes you think they can stop 50 to 100 times that number?

NAT is no longer a thing, all devices just have a globally unique IP. So your IP allow is a pretty strong indicator, it seems like that alone would make tracking easier.

There’s nothing in IPv6 to prevent tracking or offer more anonymity.
I’m curious to know where you learned about polk salad and that specific name for it. I’ve seen the use of “polk” to refer to “poke” before (the song Polk Salad Annie immediately comes to mind), but I always heard it called “poke” salad, which makes sense given the plant name is pokeweed. That said, hearing it called “poke” could also just be due to the regional accent/dialect of where I’m from.
And the absolute worst part is that the same money could be spent and the same people employed, to do things of productive use like repair infrastructure at home (or abroad via aid!). Instead it gets pissed away with nothing to show for it.
Ah, so every governmental regime is equally evil. We can excuse nazi Germany or the Khmer Rouge because “all countries do evil crap.”

Seems as though you’re the one feeding on a heap of freshmen-year college cultural equality propaganda.

I do the same. a /scripts folder in the root of the git repo.
I keep old scripts mainly to copy-paste the structure and/or pieces for new one-time scripts. It feels a bit dirty but I haven't found a better solution yet.
That was kinda what I would've guessed. Even if lisp was just fine doing symbolics, it would've been a bigger resource hog than something custom done well. I wasn't aware of the lisp CAS on smaller systems. I figured when Mathematica first came out, lisp was mainly running on things like symbolics lisp machines. Is that incorrect?
Y’all should just read the article. It addresses these things.
Hate to quote the psychopath The Joker from the Dark Knight, but when he was talking to Harvey Dent in the hospital he said ‘it’s all about fear’ (roughly).

If you don’t understand the motivation for progress then all the symptoms of procrastination kick in.

I’m not super content in my job and it gives me anxiety. It’s like being in a foxhole that you feel unsafe in. Therefore, to achieve peace, I have to either find another foxhole or make it so I can find safety.

That’s decent enough motivation for now. One day I hope I can be driven by something happier.

Why (and How) You Should Join Twitter
They don't have giant DARPA allocated IP4 blocks handed out for free to companies and universities in the early days of the internet either.
The main reason for this is Jio, a new mobile phone network that began in 2010s. They built a 4G only network (not 5G) and used IPv6 from day 1 for their phones. Reference: https://conference.apnic.net/50/assets/files/APCS790/Harness...
It's a promise you can send to other processes, even to the machine that is supposed to fulfill that promise. That allows batching of calls that depend on one another.

Finding Nemo as as a live-action film with people would be amongst the scariest concepts imaginable.

A young couple is expecting twins and moves into a respectable neighbourhood.

In a home invasion the wife is killed, one of the twins are lost, and the surviving child is born physically impaired.

Flash forward, the child is now ~10. He's a happy, normal child (minus the physical impediment). The father is wracked with anxiety at all times and emotionally suffocates the child.

The child wants to be independent (like any 10 year old) so in an act of rebellion with his friends he goes someplace a little bit shady.

He's kidnapped! All of the father's worst fears are realized.

Nobody can help him except a mentally handicapped outsider
Not uncommon for military utility jets. The issue is the engines are higher, making them a bit more expensive to service.
Why is it crazy? They don't gain anything by supporting IPv6.
And I keep recommending the CAST Handbook, which completely changed the way I look at failure. It goes through a method by which you are prompted to dig wider and deeper. The author has graciously released it to the public for free, too!

Because functional programming is so damned hard if you don't grasp recursion. Otherwise, it is simple.

Sorry for the cheap pun, but I think the main difficulty is getting along with recursion.

Cool another pop article placing undue value on a single neurotransmitter out of many in an inordinately complex system such as the brain. Junk.
Doesn't this assume the asteroid is dead center targeting earth?
Assuming your ISP gives you a /64 (and not /128), easier. With ipv4, all the traffic coming out of your house is from one ip, so the ip provides household level granularity. With ipv6 each device has a distinct address, which means the ip provides device-level granularity.
I ran into this a few days ago while searching for a TV repair shop near me. At least half the listings on Google Maps were obvious fakes: no street address, no hours, generic website full of stock photos, out-of-region area code, etc.

I eventually found a legitimate shop, but only after using Street View to verify that the shop has a physical storefront, calling up the place, and insisting on bringing my TV to their shop (so I could see for myself the business is real).

The internet is useful, but it's shit like this that makes me hate it. This is the kind of "scalability" that doesn't care if it's amplifying good or bad, so I have to waste time trying to sort through the garbage. (see also: cheap Chinese shit on Amazon)
Why is population growth via reproduction a thing that governments should encourage?

There's also the desire to just see something new. Style is typically something that people like to change up every few years.

There's individual differences of course. Some people will live their entire life in a house that never changes, and like it that way. Others get bored and restless or a feeling of being trapped if they don't change their surroundings every two years. Most people are somewhere in between.

As for the sourpusses, I agree: they are predictable and boring. Unfortunately, also very prevalent on social media.
Apparently this is what Einstein has been documented saying:

"...the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience."

So I guess the supposed quote is paraphrasing.
Didn't the US government require that all cloud services provided to and by the government be done over IPv4 and IPv6 some time ago?

In opening another tab to answer my own question, I see that they've broadened the scope and that the US government networks should be IPv6-only, with some caveats I'm sure, by 2023: https://fedtechmagazine.com/article/2021/03/how-make-progres...

NAT can be used in conjunction with IPv6 for security purposes. It is still a thing
I just wanted to share the meaning of the word “Dustsceawung” - reflection upon former civilizations or peoples, or the knowledge that all things will become dust. I now know that a word exists for something I’ve caught my self doing, staring at dust as it moves through beams of sunlight. Also very related to the heat death of the universe, where everything will be finally transformed to cold inanimate with low entropy dust.
It's too bad because I think this tech could be a great way for hydrogen to be used in many of these applications.

However, this definitely has the stench of "big oil company trying to pretend they're going green by hyping / buying companies that actually boost fossil fuel usage, even though they could be carbon neutral" :(
Our reservoirs are empty. Why would another reservoir help up?

The fact is that California's urban water use has been declining since 1976, in absolute terms, not just in per-capita terms. The East Bay Municipal Utility District, for example, now only delivers half the water it delivered in 1976, despite the fact that the population in its service area has increased by 50% over that period. Conservation and efficiency are outpacing population growth. EBMUD now owns double the reservoir capacity it actually needs.

People who advocate for new reservoirs in California, especially people who advocate for it in East Coast editorial magazines, are representing the interests of agriculture megabusinesses who want to rip off the tax payers some more. Don't believe them.
Where government's steered economy can be highly hazardous, dictatorial regime's absolute economic control is always disastrous.

That being said, this is probably a good thing in the long term, while China's foreseeable shorter term economic fallout will certainly become the source of great suffering for the world's population, not just China's, as well as the source of amazing new opportunities.
CLIs just need better tutorials and wrappers out there. If you've got a bunch of wrappers/helper methods for doing mundane tasks for your OS it should curb most of the frustration and inefficiency.

Computers have always sucked it doesn't matter what OS you're using they're full of undefined behaviour. No one is employed to design the whole and make sure the development environment is integrated to the point where it's as easy as the writer wants it to be.

Alternatively what you'll get too remedy this is some commercial tool that works in a very specific context and with a specific set of services and most likely won't interoperate with other stuff.

He did deserve better friends.

Mattijsen's idea of friendship helped get him ejected from the raku core team (as to whether his being given an opportunity to reconsider his life choices and maybe start acting like an adult would've helped avoid him ending up suddenly single is a rather more open question).

If thinking that was a bad thing as well as the racist comments makes me toxic in your eyes, then so be it.
And the population of South Africa is 58m, so clearly they can ignore it since the effect of the US is significantly bigger. You can conveniently slice any population such that the population you are part of is smaller and therefore your effect (and responsibility) is minimized.
Dude I just want content to be preserved in an organized way instead of a stream of consciousness where anything that isn't on the front page disappears into the void forever.
You reminded me of the tale of the Ford trimotor. The way I recall it from aerospace design class (20 years ago) was that any single engine out meant the aircraft couldn’t climb.
Hence, the probability of a serious incident was 3 times as likely as for a single engine design. I tried to google this just now and came up blanks.

Oh well, I thought it was going to be entertaining and factually accurate enough. Now I am questioning my memory.
Dietal lack of vitamin C is the direct cause, not some sort of root cause.

Deeper causes include education about nutrition and availability/affordability of vitamin C rich foods. The causes of problems here are deeper, sociological and cultural, and probably to some extent lack of money and other more primitive needs.

Lyra is also a speech-only codec, yet is included in the comparison.

Note also that Codec2 had some experimental work extending it with the WaveNet neural network, which improved the performance.

Given both of this, it seems disingenuous to exclude Codec2 from the comparison. I can only assume its left out because it performs well at even lower bitrates.
There is no naturally occurring source of Hydrogen. It can only be produced at industrial scale by cracking it from carbon fuel (usually CNG). If a viable pathway was created to produce it via electrolysis with sustainable energy, you’d be 10x better off (in terms of overall efficiency and carbon footprint) by putting that energy in a battery.

As I recall, this was seen as a concern in the early days so "privacy extensions" were added to the implementation standard for IPv6. Macintosh, Windows, iOS, and Android all rotate their auto-configured IPv6 addresses at a regular interval. It used to be a day but I think I've seen it as short as an hour: https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2014/12/ipv6-privacy-ad...
For Ω and other rarely used symbols, I just type: <Ctrl>+<Shift>+U 2126 <Space>.

Works like a charm in pretty much any program and keyboard layout.

For the more common acute/grave/.. letters, I use

setxkbmap -layout latin,<local layout> -variant ,qwerty -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle

Then I can use the nice us keyboard without dead keys for programming and access the local layout by holding <AltGr> (right alt) for local characters (usually via localized dead keys).
The article mentions that mounting the engines under the wings comes with downsides, but what prevents the engines from being mounted on top of the wings?
I just happen to have read an article complaining about how “Orwelian” is almost always used in ways that seem to have little connection to Orwell’s writings; even more so with invocations of 1984. Early in this article we encounter “culture’s increasingly Orwellian allegiance to social media ”. I have no idea what this means. The word “allegiance” confuses me here. Is it what he really intends? Because I’ve never met anyone with allegiance to Twitter, etc. Even people I know who use them obsessively don’t have any allegiance to them. I guess some of their employees do, but I don’t think that’s what the author has in mind. And what is “Orwellian” doing there? This was even more puzzling.
Judgement of Aubrey de Grey aside, I constantly find it weird that so many people, even on HN, don’t understand why some would want to live an especially long time.
> how any large-scale user-generated content platform can eliminate it

Give an incentive to people to not break the rules. Make accounts cost money, etc. At the moment spam or similar abuse is virtually consequence-free for the spammer. If accounts were paid then there becomes a real monetary downside in having your account banned because of spam.

Silicon Valley loves to pretend like this is an unsolvable problem, but in reality the forums from the good old days somehow managed to keep abuse mostly at bay despite often operating with no budget and unpaid volunteers as moderators.

Finally, if you can't build a platform resilient to abuse, the answer is to not build it instead of building it and letting it pollute the world and be a risk to everyone else. In this particular case the abuse is quite tame but there are other more serious problems mentioned elsewhere in this thread such as scammers using Google Maps as a free lead generator.
Wait. So… you practically need to develop an app to start developing an app?

When someone tells me to ‘invoke these 3 magic incantations’, I can sort of keep track of it. But here it seems like the instructions are to invoke these 300 magic incantations.
I've been hearing a lot about this guy lately, and he does sound like a crank. But if you want to write an article saying that's definitely the case, you should not say, "I wonder what new flaky idea he’s telling audiences of rich old people, but unfortunately I don’t care enough to try and find out..."

The light, flakey tone of this article is inappropriate to an attempt to destroy someone's career, no matter how justifiably. That's a matter to take seriously.
You are on to something. Republicanism, as a political concept -- which is quite removed from today's Republican Party -- is the social equivalent of distributed computing. It will always be better than corrupted, centralized systems (misled democracies, theocracies, all forms of collectivism which have been tried, etc.)
Any particular reason China's adoption rate is so low?

IPv6 has a few extensions, that have been implemented in just about every OS, to make things more private. [0][1][2]

To put it simply, badly implemented IPv6 makes it easier, but all the ways to make it on-par with IPv4 have been widely deployed since 2016.

I understand the isolation. In my case I tried to balance it by having a very active social life with friends.
Attending meetups from meetup.com and actively writing friends working in similar fields to meet for lunch once a week to try to get some missed colleguage-2-colleague interaction.
Some other friends also tried joining a coworking space.
"Our reservoirs are empty. Why would another reservoir help up?"

A serious question? More water in reserve = more water in reserve.

If you fill 4 glasses with water now, and then then EBMUD turns the water off for the rest of the day due to a broken main (I know EBMUD really well), you'll have 4 more glasses of water to drink than you would have, otherwise. Simple math, really.
I'm a happy BEV owner but I'm usually in the camp that hydrogen fuel cells (HFC) probably make sense in some circumstances (ships, cargo, large plane, etc). But your argument of network effects for BEV is one I hadn't considered and really strengthens BEV's case and pushes HFC use cases, in my brain, into further usually-unpragmatic-territory.

That's not quite true. IPv6 has privacy extensions which generate randomized suffixes. A website would still be able to track you with the common prefix. Tracking the prefix is more or less the same as tracking an IPv4 address. If you're worried about tracking than you're better off using a VPN than a NAT gateway (both of which is also possible with IPv6).
