Yes indeed, although the semantic web chose a much more convoluted set of technologies without the syntactic and conceptual coherence and simplicity of actual logic programming languages, thus making reasoning about everything extremely complex and inconvenient in comparison. I think this is a severe handicap when using these technologies in practice.

All automated reasoning is by necessity exclusively syntactic in nature since the meaning of processed symbols is inaccessible to a machine, therefore a careful consideration of syntactic aspects is very important to ensure easy analysis and meta-interpretation of logic programs and queries.

As I see it, a good formalism for knowledge representation makes it easy to reason about the knowledge and also about all programs and queries that themselves reason about the knowledge, enabling easy meta-interpretation and coherent extension languages.

We'll hem and haw about it, but you're right that we won't do anything. Is it a cosmic injustice worthy of the guillotine for every president and official that has presided over it? Absolutely, but that's the thing with evil empires: the people populating it don't want to risk their good lives in the pursuit of real justice.
Neither truthful statements, nor opinion based on disclosed fact are defamation. I believe my statements here qualify as both. I am pretty careful when I'm intentionally attacking a person instead of an opinion.

I'm criticizing the person and not the analysis for several reasons.

The primary one is that the purpose of my post is to caution people about reading fosspatents as a reliable law blog, not to discuss this case.

An equally important reason is that I think there's a chance that he happens to be right this time (as I indicate in my original post) so there's probably not much in his analysis for me to criticize (though I did not read it in detail).

Finally it takes substantially more time and expertise to disprove disinformation (especially in a fashion convincing to lay people in a comment short enough to post on hn) than it does to make it. Debating misinformation every time it comes up is not something I have the time or expertise to do. Warning people about a known bad actor however is something I do have the time to do, and is in my opinion more likely to improve the world.
The shot doesn’t work in an hour nor does it fix the actual problem.

Nor is it really as simple as just trying to bully everybody into getting injected with vaccines that have been developed and pushed trough regulatory approval in record times.

The last time something like that happened, during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, it turned out the people skeptical of rushed vaccinations were actually the ones with the right idea.

While many others ended up suffering for the rest of their life’s for it, among them a whole lot of children.
I know of a guy who was a programmer at a bank I think in the 90s who became a noted fashion photographer.

many successful artists either live in abject poverty or get support from rich benefactors. Even Vincent Van Gogh got support from a rich brother.

Like others have said, the arts is a pretty tough field. I'm busy transitioning the other way myself - dropped out of my IT degree 20 years ago to follow my dreams, never regretted it until the pandemic made live performance impossible 2 years ago.

I have noticed that some things are the same for both industries. Doing accounts, selling yourself to prospective employers, getting along with co-workers.. These are a big part of any job, so you should know where you stand there at least.

Also I think that nowadays, on some level, every job is a tech job.. I am a circus performer, but have a website; I use software for music, video production, lights, etc. Also I have automated our booking system which required programming. So yeah I think in the arts world, especially freelancing, some IT experience can come in handy.

At the end of the day, it's up to you. It's probably a good idea to try your luck with writing part time at first - that worked for me (making apps for fun -> full time web developer)

Don't give up on your dream!
I’ve done the opposite, I switched from arts to tech. Being able to use programming to create art is fantastic. I can clearly remember the days where creating images _always_ was a manual task (I used Adobe Photoshop at the time). Now I would use Processing, Python, Node.js or look into Adobe scripts whenever I have to make graphics that involve some kind of automation. I wish I had that knowledge/skill back when I studied at my art academy.

Your question is about transitioning from tech to arts though, so I can only reply with the steps that I would take (with my currrent knowledge).

Art schools/academies often have part-time courses, or an ‘evening school’. My mom -a nurse by trade- actually graduated from a renowned art academy two years ago, by finishing the part-time course.
Don’t be fooled by the term ‘part-time’ though, as any good art academy course takes a lot of time and effort. I’m glad I’ve got my degree. My current tech job is so much easier than studying at an art school.

I would strongly recommend that you find a good course at a good school and go for it. Online courses cannot replicate a good arts education. The in-person examinations and presentations are very valuable. Also consider moving (abroad) to find a good school if there are none near to you.

Your last sentence resonates with me, do it now while you’re still young! :)

I’ve worked as a coding teacher at an art academy, teaching graphic design students, FYI.

I have a tech career, but am a working jazz musician on the side. I have a couple of thoughts about this.

First, ignore the economic implications. The reason is simply that the economics of an arts career are a known known. Nobody goes into those careers blindly. You won't either. Perhaps the only widespread misconception is that there's a tier of artists below the superstar level, who can earn a living at it. There isn't. At the second tier, you're already competing with day-jobbers like me for $100 gigs.

Second, consider the skill level of first tier artists and how they got to that level. This varies from field to field and might help you choose a field where you have a realistic chance of getting a job aside from the economics (sociology), or don't (classical violin performance). To clarify the comparison:

Classical violinists are already playing at close to a professional level before they start college. At your age (assuming you're older than 8), you don't have a chance at making your hands do those things, or mastering skills such as sight-reading. I started playing music at age 8.

On the other hand, sociologists start college with a fairly general skill set but no particular expertise in sociology. A friend of mine went to grad school in sociology after a masters degree in classical guitar performance. Between the requirement for a graduate degree, and the lack of interest from anybody else, the job market is still overcrowded and underpaid, but not to the same level as music.

Consider as an alternative working yourself up to a very high skill level as a dedicated amateur. There are people in my area who do things like write books about the local history and culture, that sell 50 copies. Or, they work up and perform obscure musical styles that are not commercially viable. There's a guy who specializes in baroque keyboard music, and even the local pro's go to his performances.

How does change in energy density over time affect the viability of the energy source?

Going by your numbers, jet fuel maintains 46MJ/kg as it is depleted—the last kg has the same energy density as the first kg. I would exclude the weight of the enclosing tank because I think that’s usually the airframe itself.

Batteries start at 1MJ/kg for the first MJ and fall to 0MJ/kg when depleted (I don’t know what the curve looks like, but I’d expect it to be worse than linear).

What is the practical impact of this difference, if any?
Yes.

(Looks closely.)

Ouch, I wanted to reference to its state “a couple of months ago” when I looked at it, but looks like it has been half a year at least. My calendar is completely out of order it seems.

In any case, it’s encouraging to hear that the development (well... rewrite) is proceeding along and E2EE is once more on the roadmap. But my point still stands, partly, because the developers have given up on implementing the protocol on their own, see e.g. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal/-/commit/6bcb5e9 (announcement of switch to matrix.org SDK).
So don't go out yourself, but don't tell others what they can do.
Yes, the judge I was referring to was a district court judge in the US (I believe in the state of Virginia but not positive) who hears terrorism cases and makes decisions on whether the classified evidence the prosecution wants to withhold is actually worthy of being withheld -- i.e. if it's actually a threat to national security to disclose, and whether that national security risk outweighs the need for the defendant to be presented with all the evidence used against him to mount a defense. Also, if there is any way to present the evidence with redactions so that the defense can see it, but not reveal sources/methods etc.

Prosecuting cases that depend on classified national security material is nothing new really when it comes to the federal courts. There is a system in place to do so. The military tribunals are an entirely different beast, although some might say different sides of the same coin. I'm inclined to go with the latter, although I don't think the federal courts are quite as bad as the military tribunals in terms of fairness to defendants.
I have been wondering why some haven't figured this out. Market is probably still too small.
From the research I've done, cost to open fast charging EV station is expensive but no more so than building a new gas station from ground up.

1) EV charger margin is higher when you compare the kWh rate they charge drivers to the local electric rates (sometimes 10c/kWH spread)

2) EV charging is 20-40min so they have more time to shop

3) EV owners are on average higher income, so should have more disposable income to spend

Probably some sort of Starbucks x Pret-A-Manger x fancy convenience store model would do well.

Take the dot product between 1 - your spectrum and the CIE XYZ color matching functions, then convert it to sRGB or any other color space of your choice.
I see they did a trick in the code: Because binary literals were added late in C++14, it seems they used some library which defined 256 constants like B00000000 = 0, B00000001 = 1, ..., B11111111 = 255.
The existence of Guantanamo is the greatest insult to the entire foundation of the US government. How can you pretend that the Constitution only recognizes naturally-existing rights but then construct a prison outside your country explicitly so you can deny those rights to your prisoners?

Ten thousand free terrorists would be a tiny price to pay to end this cancer.
Hmmm, how would they deal with a card that says both "Do Not Resuscitate" and "Organ Donor"?
Honestly a lot of asymmetric war sounds like the trolley problem. You hear rumors of an attack and soon after there it is killing many. You start hearing more rumors and you look for data. There must be a lot of scenarios where you can't be sure of things on the ground, it developing fast and chaotic. Obama has spoken on how most of the decisions you make as president are just weighing probabilities, i.e., there's a 70% chance we stop an attack likely killing hundreds, and 30% chance we just killed a handful of innocents. I don't think we or the NYT knows enough of all the details involved in this incident, but I think this nuance is lost on many.

>Even if they do report for the BBC at other times, they aren’t reporting for the BBC in this tweet.

Right, hence the use of the phrase, "bbc reporters" and not, "the BBC". Given how common it is for reporters to tweet like this these days, that's a natural assumption one could - and should - be making when they read phrases like that. That was the very assumption that I made when I first read the comment.

>The BBC being mentioned here is misleading.

Not really, it's just saying, "Someone an outlet like the BBC trusts." Which is to say that while a claim hasn't been confirmed, it has a higher likelihood of being true relative to if you, myself, or any old Joe Schmoe had made the claim. That doesn't necessarily mean we should automatically assume it's true, but it also doesn't necessitate a complete write-off.

I don't know if this is the experience for European visitors, but as the Twitter thread states, this is in violation of both the spirit, and, importantly, the letter of GDPR.

Liquid hydrogen or some other type of fuel cell is definitely a solution for flying big heavy jets. Another potential solution is simply burning the hydrogen in jet engines. Or methane. Both have been used as rocket fuel. Both could be sourced in a sustainable way. The technology to build jet engines that burn that type of fuel already exists. The reason that fuel cells are potentially interesting is getting better efficiencies in combination with light yet powerful electrical engines such as described in the article. The reason we still use kerosene is simply that the infrastructure to distribute that is there and it's a cheap fuel to create.

Changing that industry is about ramping up the manufacturing and fuel infrastructure to the point where it is profitable. It's a very slow and expensive process.

The right question to ask though is why big heavy jets are interesting to begin with. They are big, heavy, expensive, and complicated machines. Why do we go through the trouble of building those at a cost of around 100M per vehicle for a small one?

This has to do with a lot of things but the two main ones that stand out are that fuel is expensive and pilots are expensive (and scarce). So the optimal conventional plane is one that moves around a lot of stuff with a minimum amount of fuel per kg of useful payload and the requisite two pilots. Hence the A380 briefly existed until it got to expensive to operate it.

An autonomous small battery operated plane would fix both those pain points. Electricity is comparatively cheap and autonomous vehicles means no expensive pilots are needed anymore. People that are talking about making electrical airbuses or boeings are missing the point: these form factors become a lot less relevant when we can fly dozens/hundreds of autonomous vehicles for orders of magnitude less money. Mostly small planes are pretty cheap to manufacture. So, are electrical engines and batteries. And the electronics needed to run them. You could feasibly build hundreds of them for the price of a single A320. And they'd be comparatively dirt cheap to maintain and operate. And a lot more flexible in where they could go. You are not going to cross ocean in one any time soon. But short haul flight is a different matter. Neither of the best selling jets (737 & A320) is commonly used for intercontinental flights. They are used for short haul flights.
> Vaccines drastically reduce hospitalisation. That frees up medical resources for everyone, especially those who aren't vaccinated and those that need care.

Don't hospitalise unvaccinated people who have covid then, problem solved.
Yes cool but I want to be able to run the test in command line like I currently do with Jest where everything is mocked (even DOM) so it runs super fast (during CI) but then I also just wanna run the test in a browser for my development workflow.

Running all tests in Cypress would result in slow CIs.
hate?

I'd not classify any as presenting the emotion of hatred. Possibly at most contempt, but usually something lesser, often disappointment, with smatterings of ridicule.
Do you think that can scale to only half the real problems solved, but zero stress?
Ditch the plans everywhere. No more mandates.
>That's widely practiced and accepted without issue

There's two components to this.

1. It's widely accepted because in most cases the cashier just glaces at the ID. How is the vaccine passport going to be implemented? Are they going to give you a laminated ID card, or is it going to be some QR code thingy on your phone? The latter would necessitate some sort machine scanner, which would mean it's trivially easy to turn this into some sort of a tracking system.

2. "being 18" isn't a medical intervention that's forced onto people.

Yes. One difference is that a number of legitimate studies have linked consumption of THC by those in certain developmental stages with functional deficits in later life (as with alcohol, and FES is definitely a thing). Of course, a rigourous scientific experiment would give definitive proof but would be unethical.

Are there similar studies regarding the ADHD meds?
Hey former coworker, it's been a while. What you're saying isn't quite correct: there are large positive externalities to reducing disease severity, disease spread, and the risk of long COVID, all of which vaccines help with. This isn't a binary between eradicating the disease and giving up completely.
If ethanol was so effective as an anti-knocking agent why didn’t gas stations just mix ethanol with petrol and sold that fuel with profit? Ethanol is cheaper and much safer to manufacture then tetraethyllead. But they didn’t…

I am not an expert on combustion engines but the biggest problem with ethanol in the early days was it polluted the engine with water that it absorbed as a water soluble organic compound. Those days engines were not made from Aluminium but iron so it destroyed motors over time due to the formation of rust. Furthermore, production of tetraethyllead got much cheaper once its synthesis was automated. Knocking itself is bad for motors so people actually wanted to use anti-knocking additives to improve the longevity of their cars (aside of better fuel economy).

So in the end tetraethyllead prevailed as an anti-knocking agent because of its technical and economical advantages and not because of a conspiracy of oil companies as the article suggests.
Plus, what if you suspect someone for illegitimate reasons and then you need some alternative pretext?

I think it was the TSA manual that classified as "suspicious" both looking at law enforcement personnel and not looking at law enforcement personnel.
> but otherwise very happy and not breaking any laws

This is obviously not the case with a sizable portion of the people wandering the streets. An ideal world is nice to theorize, but practically, there will always be type 1 and type 2 errors.

Transparency and other efforts to reduce them should of course be a never ending goal, but abandoning a problem completely because it cannot be done perfectly is not a long term solution either.

> Likely not, and this is why the laws in some countries like the US are the way they are.

I think the laws are the way they are because it was cheaper to simply dismantle whatever existed of the mental health care system rather than invest in improving it. And it is still cheaper to ignore it on the federal level while the rich people cloister themselves in affluent suburbs and gated communities.
It’s not as if it was possible to just not kill random people for petty politics, right?
