> This is gross, it's basically an end to the dicussion. One is an immutable characteristic (being Jewish), the other one is a choice.

Nice work plugging your ears and declaring an end to the discussion, this is surely the way to go and a sign of intellectual maturity.

You know that one of the bloodiest wars in European history was fought between who chose to be Protestant and who chose to be Catholic, correct? At the time, people like yourself surely were making the argument the conflict would quickly end if only those foolish and evil Catholics would just understand their error, repent, and do the right thing and join the Reformation. Catholics were, of course, deeply harming society, since an offense on God like indulgences was an offense on all and risked destroying society. And, of course, if you were in Spain, the opposite argument was made regarding the rebellous Protestants undermining the much-needed authority of the Church. While the bodies stacked up.

The nature of tribalistic discrimination is not rooted in choice or not choice. It is rooted in the identification of tribes and the ability for such a tribe to be oppressed due to a power differential, often motivated by fear, stereotyping, blame, or distrust. Tribes of which it is often the case that immutable characteristics drive the labeling process for obvious reasons, but often due to choices or beliefs. Humans have murdered millions and millions of people in tribal conflicts that are entirely grounded in choices of religion, political alignment, or other beliefs or behaviors that allow easy segmentation and identification of who is in which group.

I realize you want to try to clamber up to some kind of moral high ground by boxing me into something I'm not - I'm used to this method being used by those defending the idea it is just that millions of people shouldn't be able to work or go to the grocery store if they are unvaccinated - but you're just making yourself look foolish by declaring an end to discussions because of your emotional reaction to what I am saying. The tribalization of the choice to take the vaccine or not, combined with the very direct rationalizability of the oppression of these people (as nicely demonstrated by your previous reply) is a danger zone and is one that people who understand human behavior and history should be very concerned about.

Unless we have a stroke of luck and the threat of the virus subsides (something which seems increasingly less likely), we we should expect is an increased ratcheting up of oppression of the unvaccinated, who will dig in as well. The result, as always, will ultimately be violence, once the unvaccinated cannot tolerate it any further. Many will never get the vaccine: by making it a form of civil disobedience now, not merely a healthcare choice, we have guaranteed it. So we should hope that we get lucky and the seeds of conflict dissipate by science quelling the threat of the virus sufficiently that bystanders can no longer stomach barring unvaccinated people from public life.

Ask HN: Best resources to find latest innovation in housing restructuring?
Hi everyone!

I am about to embark in a "hobby" related to restructuring a house.

My field is Computer Science, and despite I studied "science", I am not an expert on electronics, physics, etc.

I am looking for resources related to innovative solutions for heating/cooling, air circulation, insulation, home automation, etc.

Any good hint is really appreciated. Thanks!
yeah but because you give up so much privacy with airtags and find my that it feels targeted at me as someone who forgets where stuff is, all the time.
An easy path to metal matrix composites.
There’s a small amount of homelab stuff I need to spend the time porting to nixos. Grafana is in there, for example, but pihole is not. I currently run a weird mix of VMs because of this, and I’d like to make that more homogenous.
I wonder if it isn't just lost in translation that they are stealing the catalytic converters to fund their substance abuse?

They are pretty expensive containing a bunch of rare metals such as palladium, platinum and even rhodium.

The other thing I look for is centered keyboard without numpad. I can't stand laptops with the home row offset to the left because of the numpad.
That's more about why "sphere" is a misnomer that leads people to think the idea requires a large rigid shell than a problem with the idea. You can create configurations of matter that continuously and completely englobe a star without it being a rigid sphere. What you can't do is make it so that any other configuration is always receiving sunlight at all times because no part of it ever in shadow, but that is not a requirement to capture all energy from a star, that's merely an engineering question around efficiency.

The result may not be literally a rigid sphere as people think of it, but if the orbits are packed tightly together enough it'll look plenty "sphere-like" from the next star system over.

A rigid Dyson sphere is probably impossible, and its utility is not entirely clear. Making a Dyson swarm around a star is merely a lot of work, and also has the advantage of immediately paying benefits as soon as the very first satellite is launched.
There is always a problem when you have to apply one set of standards globally. Ideally there would be far more censorship but it would only affect decentralized communities of ~150. Smaller groups can set rules to suit themselves, less so with billions of users.

We should also compare the batteries to talk about "hours". This one is around 40Wh, according to `upower -d`; when it was new, I could do light work for 12..14h (Linux "desktop").

I have been trying getting some numbers from `powerstat`, intrigued by danieldk's results of 0.1W consumption: I am getting 3.7W during this browsing session. That 0.1W must be related to the CPU only. The result from `powerstat` is aggregate (if I raise the display lightness to an uncomfortable level the consumption raises to 4.5W). I do not know how to only get the consumption of the CPU. Trying to check...

Edit: I am really not sure how to disaggregate consumption and find a number comparable to that 0.1W. Maybe, danieldk, you could provide instead the aggregate consumption - the total (not just CPU) average consumption of your system? And eertami? Just to get an idea.
Huh? Does this change your mind?

The proof accounts for that. You can even allow for the ANN being totally wrong on "almost all" seeds except for a non-negligible fraction, the definition of a CSPRNG allows for that. If it is wrong for all but a negligible fraction of seeds, then you haven't gained much over random guessing. So the only way that an ANN could help is if the ANN approximation is sufficiently bad that it doesn't give you any significant speedup in cracking the CSPRNG.

Of course, this is assuming that practical CSPRNGs conform to the theory, but we're just debating theory here.

Well, extreme weather events have become much more common sooner than expected. As to why this happened, I only speculated.

I don't think that the state is alarmed about climate change as it aims to have a carbon neutral grid by 2045, which is already quite late even following the conservatives estimations.

There's probably a healthy balance between "believe the victim, or else" and "go back to how things were."

I tend to agree with the other comments though - take away society and the threat of legal consequences and those hired guns have no real reason to be loyal (in most cases)
Sex discrimination: why banks shun workers in adult entertainment
> Isn’t Microsoft embarrassed about this?

Do Microsoft Surface devices have this problem (the heat/fans spinning/high battery drain while sleeping, I mean)? If not, then Microsoft has no need to be embarrassed; it’s the rest of the PC laptop industry that should be embarrassed for not shipping hardware that does the right thing when the OS asks it to.

(Though, I mean, the rest of the PC industry should already be embarrassed, for still shipping new PCs in 2021 that don’t have Thunderbolt/USB4 ports, and desktop PCs that don’t even have a single USB-C port.)

There’s also the fact that Microsoft is (perhaps by accident of fate) “building for the future”; a lot of Windows 11’s assumptions in particular make sense given hardware and CPU steppings in mind that should have shipped a year ago, but which are caught in the COVID logistical conga-line and so won’t be seen for another year. That includes e.g. Intel CPUs with ARM-like big/LITTLE designs.

And I'm really not sure what you're getting at. This particular use of NFT is as certificate of unique ownership. That's what the original buyer thought they were obtaining.

Based on my personal experience of automated testing in AAA games, even if you "only" count the overlap with the actions humans take, it's a huge overlap in practice. And while there are edge cases only humans find, automated testing finds bugs humans don't.

The point of that section is that the earlier you find bugs, the quicker you fix them, and you end up with less overall pain for the length of the project.

Or this will massively backfire and we’ll roll back to dirty power.

I don’t understand the antinuclear orthodoxy. Just when I thought the Baby Boomer/GenX cultural dividend couldn’t throw another turd in the punch bowl, we get dated ideology around nuclear power threatening to throw back decarbonisation by at least a generation.

I don’t like absurd rules and unions seem like an out of touch project manager to the extreme. This may not be true.

But I don’t see this as a problem in tech that needs to be solved. The barriers to entry and exit are so low to me as a programmer that I think organizations already have to compete to hire and keep me. So any unions wouldn’t do much to help me and seem like an extra layer of bureaucracy that would stop me from having fun while I work.
CA politicians are largely integrated into a global financial system that extracts wealth from the middle class by facilitating crises. If crises didn't happen, they don't have an excuse to intervene and tax the population by-proxy. It's no coincidence that when Newsom's governance became threatened that they brought out Obama, Biden, Warren, Sanders, and Pelosi to defend him. They need control of California to use it as a proving ground and maintain the influence the state has. It's not about green energy, Democrats or Republicans, but globalized wealth extraction.

Plus you factor in our remarkably low average IQ in contrast to the vast majority of states and it's hardly a surprise. Our education is abysmal and we feed junk to our poor. How anyone can call CA a success astounds me. It's a political and economical success, but it's hardly a success in what states are actually intended for, which is to serve its citizens.
Depends on whether a GPU is present. But yes, all the things.

Encoding video, modelling and rendering, compiling large code bases, sleeping for a week at least.

Good.

EDIT: Oh, your question was about the GPU, not the CPU, soz

Well, I don't care if it's part of the CPU SoC, in fact I prefer it to be. That's faster for memory access.

But it has to do all the things, as described above. If it is also not a nuisance, like downloading 120MB of driver-and-friends every time the wall clock bangs, then I'll be double happy with it. More than happy. Criminally and institutionally happy.
Damn the need for recurring revenue. It makes us make bad things that eat away at our own resources.

I wished there was an alternative payment model, where everything is perhaps paid off over time. If the product fails during the specified time period, the payments stop. It would hopefully give the companies some sort of recurring revenue, while incentivising them to build something that lasts and not play dirty tricks on the consumer.

It is true that actual interaction is not tested in this way. Still, AI actions are not all it tests: For example, just by keeping such games running for a long time, it implicitly also tests resource management (such as garbage collection), robustness of the networking code, synchronization etc.

What I found appealing in the description is the idea of keeping your program running for a long time and have it perform all kinds of actions automatically. Nowadays, I often hear about "test-driven development", "unit tests" etc., and it often turns out that they test very specific things out of a vast universe of all possible things. That does not mean that they are useless. As I see it, it means - as they phrased it in this article - that we often do not take enough advantage of automated testing.

Personally, when I test software, I always try to follow the general idea stated in the post mortem: Keep it running, and perform all kinds of actions automatically. I found several crashes and memory leaks in this way, which were not noticed during manual interaction because they only became significant when the actions were repeated thousands of times.
If you print photos yourself then you are doing it wrong. Send them to a service that actually has a photo printer that is not a piece of shit and you will find your prints actually lasting longer than the ink cartridge you used to print them with.

Nix's official package repository, Nixpkgs, is the most up-to-date repository out there[1]. Especially so for the unstable channel. So I assume it would fit your needs well.

But with Nix, you can be more flexible and mix packages from stable and unstable channels very easily. In my case, the kernel and desktop environment comes from the stable channel while the rest comes from unstable.

Is Suicide the End Point of Ageism and Human Rights Violations?
I was in the same boat around 2012. After 11 years of linux on the desktop and crappy student laptop, I needed a proper laptop for freelance jobs. Bought a macbook to put linux on. Ruined macos on day one. Reinstalled macos. Got used to it. Loved that all the hardware and software just works. Never installed ubuntu desktop again.

Would like to use linux again on the desktop, but macos is so nicely integrated with everything. The desktop experience is so much better than the gnome or kde version of the day. I code embedded c and web (python). Also do the occasional cad drawing and 3d printing. All this software just works on mac. Even corporate slack works okay, ms teams as well. Word, even! It sucks to be a linux desktop user or fanboy in professional environments. Not a mac fanboy, would switch if there was something better.

One drawback is that docker is just awfully slow compared to running it on native linux.

This is really grasping at straws, there was a massive movement that essentially lasted all last summer to protest against police violence against black people. There have been multiple large demonstrations this year. I've seen nothing even approaching that scale for trans people. Maybe Dave is spending too much time online.

If his stance is "sometimes this (about me) gets more attention than that (about them)" then it's even more absurd. Especially considering that intersectional violence is particularly bad for black trans women.

There really is no reason to be printing photos on your own printer (for consumers, though I suspect it’s similar for pros). Every corner drug store (in the US) can print them with better quality and at a lower cost. Maybe it’s a slight hassle, but how many people are printing a significant quantity of photos anymore?

There is usually a lot more accountability for corruption in being a government official than a private citizen in collecting and controlling private information. There is a lot more illicit profit in being corrupt as a private citizen than in being a government official who collects and holds private information.

This is why the government is the only one that should be authorized to hold LIMITED private information. Somehow it's mis-construed to private individuals and companies collecting UNLIMITED personal data on everyone. Strange times.
I agree with the sentiment. My theory is that while the stuff you name is indeed horrifying, the issue with sexuality is that it acts like a drug (it changes your behavior chemically, can be addictive, etc.) and it’s a combination of (a) kids haven’t learned how to “handle their liquor” in that department yet, and (b) many adults have also not learned how to do that and so find it difficult to engage in that topic conversationally, and so avoid the topic in the guise of protecting the children. The violence you describe above is less complicated: it’s bad. Not a lot of nuance there.

I’ve seen people make the argument that an image of an exposed breast is harmful to young children (even when those same kids are still breastfeeding).
People ingest all kinds of things. Back in the 90s GHB was huge in my home town, and when the inflow dried up, people started drinking floor cleaner since the liver converted some kind of common ingredient in it to GHB.

Floor cleaning fluid for large buildings are denatured to this day, at least in sweden. People at work always complain about the smell. It has a very nice vomity tang to it.
I'm not sure it's Puritan so much as it's modern society's strange desire to sexualize everything while also keeping sexuality behind glass, figuratively speaking.
I’m hesitant to even get into this into HN, so I’ll try to keep this very narrow. You say maximum freedom, but already the biggest means of “projecting force” (here it seems you literally mean as a projectile) cannot be 3D printed and is only in the hands of the government.. tanks, attack aircraft, missiles, nuclear weapons, etc.

So how does a 3D printed gun give maximum freedom, especially when you can buy legal equivalents, and the real “maximums” aren’t possible?
There is. But is it worth the effort of unfamiliar UX? No.
Ah indeed, the Ask HN itself is from the 14th and various comments are from then as well. Seems like it got put through that process which causes HN to "fake" the short timestamps to make everything look like fresh discussion.

quite a bit off topic, but starting a busy time like an M&A lawyer, how do you keep up with and integrate tech in the day-to-day job?
I bought a 99 bucks HP printer many years ago and signed up for HP instant ink. I have been printing for free basically since then since I print less than 15 pages a month. Don't even have to worry about the ink anymore as they send it automatically when it is near empty.

There are a few downsides. They count per page basis. So even if you print only one letter, it counts against you. When you have to print a lot, then you have to buy in the pack of 10 pages. But overall still cheaper for me than to buy ink at all.
It’s a pretty old and well known perspective.

The reasons don't matter as it's absolutely unacceptable user experience that breaks a major implicit product promise. I get that engineers may be too people-stupid to understand that it's a non-negotiable blocker, but that's why you employ UX designers
