I tried to be clear with my language -- apologies if I did not succeed.

My intention is not to spread it, but to describe it because I think it's useful to understand the narrative. You cannot disagree with something you do not understand.

There's a faction of resistance which is neither shrill, nor obviously stupid, and they have coalesced around a narrative that is constructed in a way to be very compelling and frightening.

It's either an elaborate effort, or it's the natural result of smart people not trusting evidence, and extrapolating into authoritative-sounding "maybe"s.

In short, classic "bullshit".

But it would take someone more learned than I, to argue on merits. The promulgators of this narrative have read the Wikipedia article on ADE, and insist that that narrative is flawed, for reasons I cannot contradict.

Personally, I don't believe it for a second, but my reasons are rather prosaic: IME the more elaborately-cooked the future scenario is, the less likely it is to happen, outside of fiction. Nature tends toward the non-dramatic. I expect to be proven correct over the next ~year.
They might as well be candy, honestly. I would have to slather one with peanut butter to even consider it a semi-acceptable snack.

So that is fair, but I'm certain that there is a (large?) group of players who would pay $$ / month to have this expensive computation done server-side, IF it means cheating drops to nothing.

Stadia (and similar) can render entire games server-side and then deliver them to you for a nominal fee. I'm certain that in 2021, we can hook up a nvidia gpu to the server and allow some basics physics calculations run for ~128 players.

If we can't, there 100% is a market for a chip, card, server, etc. that can do this. There is an entire group of gamers (30's+ with kids and demanding job, not a lot of time) who are sick and tired of FPS cheats and just want to relax and play a game for an hour a night. They would happily pay for a non-cheating version of a game.
It doesn't adjust immediately though. If a large majority of miner suddenly disappears then the block mining rate does indeed drop until the next difficulty adjustment.
If it's still going "BOINK"... then we're good.

Irresponsible country was Latvia (EU country) who barely managed to vaccinate only half of its elderly so far. The government was completely inefficient, they did not even allowed to send a letter in Russian, in a country where nearly half of population are Russian speakers. Now they just had to reintroduce a strict lockdown for another month. I think they well deserved it.
+1. Unless you really know what you're doing, LEDs in parallel is a bad idea. A slight forward voltage or thermal mismatch causes one LED to dominate the current consumption until it fries. Then the cycle repeats for the next LED. When I was an ignorant child I fried $60 UV LEDs, but it was a good lesson...

But at least the article mentioned it,

> It's important that there are n LEDs (connected in series) in each of the m parallel branches of the circuit and that the LEDs all have the same Vled and Iled. Otherwise, all bets are off.
I am facing the same issue. I have tried all of these apps and none deal with text formatting as nicely as MiniHack for both readability and user interface.

Even before last weeks changes in HN’s HTML that broke MiniHack beyond use, there were quite a few bugs on modern iOS. Still MiniHack was the best.

Currently replying using HACK
my argument is just to provide redundancy. we do not need additional local redundancy because the data is out there. it would be a problem if my copy or your copy somehow becomes the only copy. then we would be concerned.

this says INR 11,000.00 which is $137.raw 100 would need around 18 so $2500.

i think there can be variations of disk sizes and amazon fluctuations but in cases like these i would have a business buy them because that way input tax of 18% would pass on to the business and conversely to me for lowering the final bill. so, $2118 would be for these drives. same for the server. a tax benefit of 18%.

as i said, i would love to have this
Great news, just further demonstrates that these systems should never have been built.
Strongly disagree. I think there are certainly use cases around video and 3D design that performance is _the most important metric_. But, hardware performance has not been an issue for general computing or software development in a few years. The problem with MacOS is around usability. It is just not on par with Windows 11, ChromeOS, or even iOS. They haven't evolved the software to meet modern computing and it really shows.
I was watching the Boardwalk Empire not so long ago. When the main character was a boy, people were wearing fancy clothes, sending letters, and riding horses. As a grown man, he talked on the phone and flew a plane. Whereas my parents were flying planes when they were young. I fly almost the same planes(yes, more safe and efficient) and it takes the same time to get from A to B.

It has the green check mark, like a valid certificate because the vaccination scheme is right. But under it is a warning that the pass is fraudulent (blacklisted).

It is a weird UI choice but making the distinction between an invalid pass (ex: partial vaccination) and a fraudulent one is useful.
Is it really that much money? It’s not like that’s pure profit; mining requires large up-front capital investment to even start. Break that down to 20 years (round number for illustration purposes only, seemingly on the quick side based on quick searching), and you’re down to $75mm/year which begins to sound like a lot less money when you start adding the recurring costs of operation to the initial capital cost. Add in the state mandates for damage escrow and you’re probably looking at a business that makes the owners wealthy, but otherwise produces only a handful of jobs and minimal tax revenue while permanently destroying some of the natural beauty of a state heavy on tourism that relies on that beauty.

Put another way: if it was a lot of money they’d find a way to do it underground.
Agree with your last sentence. Everything is analyzed/used from a political point of view.

We need de-polarization. First thing would be to get rid of so much power by these people that rule at their convenience all of us. I really think it would be a better environment for everyone.

I'm really not sure who they made the movie for. There's not really enough exposition to explain why anything is happening if you did not read the books, yet it feels very repetitive if you are a book fiend.

The best explanation of watching the movie I've seen is a friend who felt they were reciting a litany as they watched each scene. "And now Gurney trains Paul in shield-fighting" "and now the Gom Jabbar" "and now the Shadout Mapes presents the Crysknife" "Now the Duke rescues the workers from the sandcrawler" "Now Paul and his mother face the worm", etc. I'll give the movie this, it hit pretty much all the episodes that one would expect.
"SpaceX has been landing their rockets for several years now, and are about to take an even bigger step with Starship."

From 1940s, in 20 years we invented jet planes and rockets, and since then for the next 60 years we are fiddling with the same basic rocket design. Are you seriously pretending that taking 3 generation to learn to land them is as big of an achievement?

If we kept up the pace of progress, we would have skyhooks in service,
nuclear thermal rockers, nuclear electric propultion, fission fragment rocket and dozens of others.

We have arguably regressed, as starship will just take us to where we were before, being able to reach the moon.

Are you a contributor? Is there a way to bring this up with the team? Perhaps a place to start would be to add support for storing OGC Simple Features and corresponding to/from conversion functions. I don’t have a lot of spare time, but may want to take a stab at a proof of concept if some developers could help orient me to the code.

... which is the point. It's all about the spinning top (The Foundation) staying spinning and not falling over...

Premise: You can't expect predictions to stay true over centuries, you need a guiding hand to keep that top spinning and not tumbling over, so you need the Second Foundation to be The Management. Bonus: due to the circumstantial requirements, you get to make them secret and hidden.

Requirement: There has to be tension within a book. There has to be conflict, resolved in a way conducive to literary imperative.

Resolution: Something has to be able to challenge this otherwise-perfectly-set-up system. Something that is not predictable, and which would not be easily adjustable by the Second Foundation; something out of the ordinary. A single man, who really can influence history. The Second Foundation would be prepared for a Napoleon of their time, but they wouldn't expect anyone like the Mule.

Corollary: The Second Foundation is exposed, introducing tension and conflict for the next book in the series. Who wants to be a puppet on a string, after all ?

It could have gone very differently if the Mule hadn't been sterile, or could have taught his skill, but again, literary imperative dictates that "The Good Guys win", so the Second Foundation overcomes the Mule, and the plan is put back on track. Suspiciously well, in fact. The anthropic principle is validated, and a single man did not in fact change history. This time.

"The Good Guys" changes in later books, of course, and the Second Foundation end up losing, but that's quite literally another story :)

Fine: the mechanism is a copyright length of life+70, as a heritable asset. Law is a moral code that's enforced so that as a society we must do, or not do, certain things, so yes, the intent is absolutely that society behaves as a group in certain specific ways.

The poster with «work of spirit» probably meant "outcome of higher mental work and more, including intellectual". And expressed that it should be respected as a highly dignified product (as opposed to a piece of product conceived for consumerism).

Nonetheless, i cannot really interpret that mention of Europe "as opposed to some rest". Edit: having seen further comments, I can. There are areas in Europe in which extremely light judgement and behaviour is socially unpunished and considered normal, or "normal as an exception". (In other areas, nobody with that trait could have reached, say, 18 years of age without getting "straightened".) It must be noted that those areas have a mixed population: some will behave """antisocially""" while many will remain absolutely lovely - it is just tolerance of juvenile thought and behaviour misunderstood by some """beneficiaries""" as acceptance or approval, instead of patience.
Nice to see compiler support for something like that. We've been doing stuff like this in C(++) for decades, extractable with the `what` command. It's more fiddly without direct compiler support, but on the plus side you can adapt it to any VCS.

I think what OP is saying is that documenting the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere does nothing to actually remove it, and hence is of little value to anyone except whoever invested in the company and makes money licensing the software.
and yet we have a company that kind of said that recently (https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/lisp-interview-kina/):

> I really like the Common Lisp world. *I would like it to be more popular, but at the same time, it is a differentiator for us*.

they reached to us so we add Kina on awesome-lisp-companies. But how many more think the same? And still, they evidently put little effort in making CL more "popular", because they have no interest. They found enough open-source libraries, they work on a hard problem, they form their developers and operators in-house, they develop their own Lisp-like language for the browser… and they silently use the power of SBCL.
Depends on the company no ?

For FAANG type places sure, but not everyone runs their interview process with that content.

Anecdata: I interviewed at a bank once and they wanted to know how specific library functions were implemented in a specific programming language.
This somewhat reminds me of Lektor[0], which is a sort of front-end GUI application (really just website/page in front of a locally-run web server) that allows for folks to edit and post content as a static site generator and without needing a CLI. Lektor happens to be open source and based on python. This also reminds me of MovableType! Either way, I think we need more of these types of tools; both for techs and non-techs alike! Best of luck to the Kit55 folks!

Printers are a nightmare. They suck on windows and they suck on Linux. I don't often talk about my job when I meet new people, but when I do people ask me for help with their printer…
Heck, I can be technically-savvy and I prefer the "just works" experience of Windows. It rarely gets in the way. All major software and games work on Windows. I don't even think about hardware compatibility. It just disappears, which is nice.
My god, how could you say that. I watched the Lynch version before watching the new version, just to be able to compare. The Lynch version was the worst movie I've ever seen.

it has always been good -- if you agree not to consider whatever weird choices ubuntu makes the 'standard linux desktop experience'

>If people had upload capacity, then it could have been possible to host your own backup solutions or media or personal websites.

But a lot of us techies here have 1 Gbit dl+ul symmetric bandwidth and yet most of us would rather put source code on Github instead of self-hosting Gitlab at home. Why? Because most of us would rather do something else in our lives that's more high-priority than babysitting a git server (or self-hosted email server, or self-hosted NNTP USENET server instead of discussing stuff here on HN, etc).

If (most) techies don't want to self-host, why would it be realistic to expect the mass population to self-host media or personal websites?

There's another underlying reason other than upload bandwidth limitation.
Was your disagreement about form factors or processing capabilities?

If it was about form factors - your father is in the right, the laptop form factor is terrible for your body in a number of different ways, so if you don't need to move around, you should just get a desktop. (unless you have the money to be able to afford both a laptop and a dock setup (although keeping your laptop docked usually kills the battery, so it's still kind of preferable to get a real desktop))

If it's about processing, you may very well be right - there was an article just yesterday about the M1 Max's rendering capabilities[1] and they're extremely competitive with current desktop workstations.

Why not get the best of both worlds, though, and wait for a desktop with an M1 Pro/Max chip?

Fox News has robust constitutional protections guarding it from those who would seek to measure the truth, and truth-seeking as a general practice is fraught with difficulty, generally ill suited for enforcement action in all but the most extreme cases such as those where it can be proved that the speaker knew otherwise.

The number and of strawberries going into a pastry is a lot easier to measure as a fact, and advertising that makes claims about strawberry content in the course of trade is not so protected.
I am talking about abuse of signing keys by Epic, not about “mobile payment things challening a monopoly force”.

Your PR spin does not change the important facts. Why epic did what they did is completely irrelevant.
I do not agree with your perspective on “objective” measures. I will take age as an example. Like every other points of your list it is a fuzzy concept. However it looks rigorous and well defined because:

1 the scale of numbers we usually use is sufficiently large to smooth away the fuzziness at the origin.

2 Age is usually artificially quantised in years. This seems transparent because a year is in itself a very precise measure of time but a lot of information is
lost in this quantisation.

3. In its administrative form it seems well-defined because it actually is a platonic construct. The fact that it is measured since someone is birthed and not for example since its inception is totally arbitrary in regards to a lot of uses it’s made for. If someone was born after seven months instead of nine months, he will arbitrale counted as older.
I still beg to differ... The shape of cars is even changing... We have Cyber trucks coming out, we have several EV trucks coming out - battry tech is improving, engine performance is still improving, fuel efficiency is only being attacked for political reasons - It's pretty cool that a Jeep - a brick on Wheels has several options of efficiency and power that are major improvements from just a few years from - from a 4xe hybrid to a turbocharged engine to a diesel option.

Airplanes? There is a really good Nova episode on the electric race - we're nearing an electric age with airplanes even in commercial aviation - In the next 5-10 years we'll probably have the short hops covered by quiet electric planes - that innovation isn't necessarily paced by science, but by safety, engineering and certification - things we don't want to shortcut since humans are involved in these systems.

Hell.. we've been dabbling with autonomous cars too and driver assist and lane assist... I can go on and on

I don't think it is a fair comparison: the first benchmark was done on a AMD processor. Considering that Threadripper is more similar to a mini cluster than the intel option, it probably favors linux more.
it's very possible for you to have the experience you're describing from a system, and for the system to be predatory and extractive.

Just as many people live in nice suburbs and work in cities where there's extreme poverty. They get a good life, don't often have to contend with the pain and suffering of others, and can dismiss those claims as exaggeration.

> Multiple monitors, high res monitors, printers, gaming and Bluetooth come to mind.

But this is not true on laptops though. Right now, my sister is restarting her studies (or rather starting, after working 5 years as a chef), and had to pick up a laptop. I lent my old one, with windows by default, and dual boot to linux. She was only using it for internet, matlab (or scilab, i'm not sure) and dropbox. My brother advised hare to take Joplin for notetaking, tried it on both limux and windows and now, two month after my initial loan, she bought a computer with linux.

Because while on desktop, you might have compatibility issues, on a good laptop you won't.
