At some point I believe we will start to bump up against the limits we saw in the first three computer revolutions (tubes, transistors, integrated circuits). This will cause the pendulum to swing from commodification to optimization. What I mean is, you won't be able to snap your fingers and scale up or out, thus optimization will begin again in earnest. Clearly this isn't always the case: GPU shaders, crypto ASICs, video processing... there are plenty of places where optimization is crucial for high performance loop tuning. But optimization hasn't been required across the board like there was just before the three big innovations I described hit.
Excellent suggestion and added this to favourites as a backup reminder to do this. Hopefully be going thru that cupboard before the end of the year, so will get on that then. Thank you.

I do recall it was the initial release with blowfish so, that's pretty neat.
It still has 3 USB-C ports and you can still charge through it.
I'm convinced that when you reach a certain level of wealth and the people around you stop saying "no" to you no matter how fucking disastrous your ideas are, your brain just turns into a soft foam
My first reaction was the terrible danger this design presents as well. Doesn't code require each room to have two means of egress? Usually the second one is a window.
Carl Sagan made amino acids with a similar experiment, I remember my dad telling me about it back in the 80s. It looks like he joined the scene a little later though, and that Urey (who only won a Nobel prize for discovering deuterium) was his mentor:

Not great, but the whole Ring™ doorbell law enforcement relationship scares me more. The "boiling frogs" way it happened, and how nobody was really up in arms about it is interesting.

IIRC, GLX did serialize over the network (though AFAIK limited to an older version of OpenGL; the vast majority of cases has moved to a newer version of OpenGL).

Every laptop I have with USB-C charging had a broken cable. It’s far too thin of a connector for laptop charging.
The "proprietary charging port" is a) optional (you can also charge on the USB-C ports up to 100W), b) extremely handy for those of us used to the old magsafe ports, and b) actually a USB 3.1 port with extended power range in disguise.

The power brick that ships with the Macbook Pro is a USB-C wall adapter. The magsafe cable is USB-C on one end and magsafe on the other. The extended power range spec allows going up to 240W instead of only 100W per the original USB power delivery spec. The 16" Macbook Pro can draw up to 140W.

There aren't currently available any standard USB-C cables that support extended power delivery. The higher current requirements entail more robust cables that will have a compatibility marking on them.
Google Plus is interesting because whilst the social platform failed, getting you to sign in across a huge swath of properties with your Google account certainly worked. They even had me along for the ride until they started automatically managing Google accounts through their browser.

I think both Google and Facebook have pushed their luck recently and found the edges of their domain and their user's complacency. I imagine they'll just keep pushing and we'll eventually cave, but there has at least been some sensible backlash.

If anyone is interested, this is basically the first half of the speculative fiction story, "Mana" (https://marshallbrain.com/manna1) which has been posted here on HN a few times.
Yeah. This article seems to be jumping to conclusions based on a vague statement sandwiched between a bunch of PR claptrap about "hearing feedback". The actual statement could mean anything from the return of standalone Oculus accounts to just unifying SSO under a "Meta" account instead of a "Facebook" one. The only concrete detail was support for Facebook "work" accounts for logging into Oculus.

> and frankly, as we've heard your feedback more broadly, we're working on making it so you can log into Quest with an account other than your personal Facebook account. We're starting to test support for work accounts soon, and we're working on making a broader shift here within the next year. I know this is a big deal for a lot of people. Not everyone wants their social media profile linked to all these other experiences and I get that, especially as the metaverse expands.

Yes we do! DuckDB-Wasm can read files using HTTP range requests very similar to the sql.js-httpvfs from phiresky.

The blog post contains a few examples how this can be used, for example, to partially query Parquet files over the network.

I think there is a market for mini drones on police cars for localized surveillance as well, that can decrease dangers (important to selling for police) and better audit policeman;

You need a quick charger for a drone on a roof mount to a police car, now the officer can check license plates, around corners, etc, hands in air, weapons down (with remote officer for second visuals). And no more, whoops i covered the my body cam, combined with a clearer 3rd point of view.
I know that many share your views.

If you have no home, it's hard to get a job. But it's hard to get a home if you have no income. So people end up on the street. They then face a choice of a street in a town, near to shops and services; or sleeping in a ditch in the boonies. I've slept in a ditch in the boonies, and I can't recommend it. And Social Services don't patrol ditches in the boonies.

A homeless person can disappear in a big city; it's easier for services to find them and help them in smaller towns. So if I was in a scrape, I'd head out of the city, to a smaller town.

With respect to forcibly taken taxes: they're taken "forcibly" because it's the law that you have to pay taxes. They don't usually come around with guns, to separate you from your belongings. We have a social contract, where I live, that we get free education and health-care and stuff, in exchange for paying taxes.

I was a fairly high earner, until I retired. I've never objected to paying taxes. I do object, very strongly, to corrupt politicians taking the piss with taxpayers' money; but in fact it's a small proportion of tax revenues that get stolen like that (here).

Frankly, I'm OK with the taxpayer paying up so that we don't have an underclass of people who are ill, psychologically troubled, homeless or intellectually challenged, and who are compelled to live under hedges. It could be me that's down on their luck, some day. If I were in that situation, there's a pretty good chance that I'd be resorting to substance abuse.

You're entitled to your views; but it seems pretty harsh to me, to simply declare that those people need to solve their own problems, and leave the taxpayer alone.

Is it perhaps also your view that the only legitimate use for taxpayers funds is to send armies to foreign countries? I'm not in favour of that. And I'm not in favour of taxpayer subsidies for diesel-oil for motor cars. I cough up, because the deal is that I either put up with the way collective taxpayer resources are spent (after making my point at the ballot box), or I leave the country.

As it happens, there's no other place I'd prefer to live. So here I'm is, very comfortable thank you, and I try to be kind to people who have to live on the street. Nobody would choose that if they had an alternative.
Is it still called outsourcing if the work stays in the same country or state? Some people on HN probably hope this transfers jobs from high COL trendy cities to low COL remote workers 100 miles away.

This is certainly the way things are headed, and they're smart to clarify that vision, but I feel like XLA needs better support for sparsity in order for this to really take off.

These new laptops from Apple come with "Three Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports"

So they are clearly not "ditching USB-C." They are just re-adding convenient ports; plug in HDMI in a pinch, throw your DSLR memory card right in the card reader.

There is a concept in/around civil engineering I've heard referred to as the 3 generation rule, though the only place search engines seem to turn it up is Ken Burnside's formulation on Atomic Rockets, which specifically applies it to space stations.

>The Three Generation Rule of Space Colonies states that space colonies have an average life-span of three generations until the life-support and other technical system decay to a point where the colony cannot sustain life. As Rick Robinson puts it "the degree of social discipline needed for a space habitat to survive indefinitely is beyond the capability of "normal" human societies. The human tendency to favor short-term expediency. will, over time, make the habitat ecosystem more and more precarious." See the link for more details.

Here's the thing, that didn't come out of nowhere. There're actually earlier references I've stumbled across from various veins of engineer or policymaker with regards to how difficult it is to get funding for proper maintenance of civil engineering projects.

The meme formulation of hard times, strong people, yada yada, is a glib restatement of a rule that to me seems to be at the very heart of information theory:

If you ain't lived it, you don't get it. I can tell you stories til I am blue in the face, but until people [start dropping dead from cholera in the streets], [get trapped in elevators due to widespread power failure], [start suffocating in the mal-maintained subway tunnels], [having their homes blow up because of long deferred natural gas pipe maintenance], you will not give me the resources to get done what needs to get done.

To generation n-1 it's theory, generation n-2, they paid for it in blood, to generation n, it's the crazy ramblings of old people and the world don't work that way anymore grampa.

Except it do. And it will continue to. This the cycle continues. Even the creation of an ennui consumed generation is predicted in the sense that a generation sees the problems, but isn't in touch with history enough to figure out how far to roll back thinking to safely start retraversing a new path.

You either get an extremely luck person who stumbled on it randomly, or you get hard times when the next demagogue wrecking ball's shit and everyone has to figure out how to pick up the pieces.

Since you've lost track:

It also added a net 71.6 GW of wind power, 48.2 GW of solar power. It's also adding ~6 GW of nuclear power/per year.
Among other things, architectural design makes decisions about how space is allocated and how it will probably be used. Of course, architects get things wrong. The dorm I lived in undergraduate did a fair bit well--and also had some common space that was sort of out of the way and was hardly ever used.

But one way or another, an architect is going to design things in a way that (they think) optimizes for certain behaviors and use whether that's socializing/collaborating or the maximum privacy/anonymity.

Standard, easy-to-spot-and-read icons or (even better) color-coding (or, better still, both), used by (forced on under licensing terms or by law [as in the EU charger laws], more probably, if it's to actually happen) every manufacturer, would mostly solve the problems with USB-C, you're right. I fear it's too late for that now, and we'll have to wait for whatever replaces it to have a shot at that. Guess we can try again some time around 2030 :-/
Check out this post for some comparisons with Pandas.

DuckDB is often faster than Pandas, and it can handle larger than memory data. Plus, if you already know SQL, you don't have to become a Pandas expert to be productive in Python data munging. Pandas is still good, but now you can mix and match with SQL!

Things weren't so great after the Roman empire fell. The wreckage left in the wake of falling societies is never pretty. Look at Easter island.

Things are bit different now. The economy is global, human impact on the planet is global and massive. We are beyond its carrying capacity and are quickly expending its energy reserves. But that's a different conversation.

None of us were alive in the "roaring 20s", but I will point out that that was very localized to east coast cities. Trust me, there were no roaring twenties out on the prairie.
Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. Also, eastern Poland (countryside more than cities) has a drawn-out, more melodic accent.

By contrast, you talk to someone from East London, or Birmingham, or Leeds in the UK, and you're in no doubt as to where they are from, no need for special words. Never mind Scotland, West Country, Wales...

> Who the hell are these aristocrats orchestrating multi-generational psy-ops?

The capitalist class.

> Do they meet over brunch to plan it?

Sometimes. Sometimes dinner. Sometimes drinks. Sometimes, at meetings of the global institutions they and their paid agents run.

Not, like, in one unified, organized group, just a disproportionately powerful class, with many members aggressively pursuing their own self-interest, and coordinating on that where they recognize the opportunity.

The same way they overthrew the feudal order and established the capitalist order in the first place. (And also the same way that the larger but less disproportionately powerful classes beneath them have weakened the capitalist system in favor of modern mixed economy as the dominant system of the last century. Which has a lot of the first group irritated.)
I don't find it unreasonable to think that government regulations around fire safety are based on current building trends. Nobody in the US stuffs 4500 people into a single building with almost all of them in the interior of the building. Nobody would voluntarily live that way, even the "projects" were/are more humane.

I made a game based on the idea of Toki Pona using a sub-set of English.

Instead of learning a new language (I tried to learn Toki Pona) I used Toki Pona as a template for basic English, Toki English, a subset of English.

The benefits of Toki English are this:

* English speakers already know all the meanings of all the words, and can use it right now.

* Non-English speakers learn BOTH some English _and_ a basic structure to speak to anyone else that learns Toki English and English.

* It's actually hilarious to try and speak with it.

The game I made (very rough) is like a form of charades, where you have 2 teams. One person gets a phrase/idea/object that they must convey to their team using only Toki English. The props are simple, a printed sheet of paper with all the Toki English words.

I think this is the fallacy of arguing the middle usually deployed against science.

There's a great example of Futurama, where the evolutionary naysayer demands an intermediate form, and Farnsworth shows him one... then he demands another, and Farnsworth shows THAT form... and this cycle repeats hundreds of times until Farnsworth has no intermediate form and the naysayer declares victory.
