Consider iterating on cycles until a fixed point is reached: checksums of objects involved in the cycle are not changing.

If the fixed point is not reached in some number of iterations, then abort.

Cycles can happen in builds. A simple example is compiling a document in some markup language, plus its table of contents, into the compiled form. Suppose the compilation itself is what updates the table of contents (because details like page numbers are not known until the compilation pass). Then the table of contents is both an input and an output. If the table of contents file has changed, the job must be run again.

(Diagnosing and aborting cycles could be a default behavior; it could be that the user has to somehow declare cycles, by specially blessing backward references with some required annotation.)
This made me tremendously sad. I've been waiting for the Y 7 seater to reach Europe. Now I feel betrayed by none of the reviews I've ever glanced making this clear. And I'm at a loss on what car to hope for instead.
All are legendary stuff, from jewel squid eyes to snails wearing iron scale mails.
Could be worse. Could be thinking of NFTs.
Depends on factors such as business size, product life cycle stage etc.,

For a typical startup trying to figure out PMF and launch an MVP or figure out customer retention I'd be really surprised if off-cloud contingency is even on top-50 priority list.

But for someone with a proven business model with a good revenue stream cloud dependency or vendor lock-in or single-vendor-point of failure does indeed become an action item to be worked upon.

Or when a regulator requires setting up a DR site which they did for us back in 2015. We had no option but to set it up in a data-centre.

Or let's say someone like Mighty (1) whose product is sort of competitor to AWS's (2). They wouldn't want to go anywhere near AWS or any cloud for that matter. And last I heard they were indeed ordering their own physical server machines.

There are valid reasons to look for either hybrid or purely on-prem solutions as I listed a few above. But please don't forward "what if cost doubles" type of reasoning. All that said, I'd hypothesise not going full on cloud is an exception for a typical startup now a days.

The excerpt you quoted is perfectly meaningful. They are saying an evolutionary process that produces intelligent life is more complicated ("has more moving parts") than the intelligent life forms thus produced. How could this not be true? An intelligent life form may have hundreds of billions of neurons and trillions of cells, but the evolution that produced said life form involved untold zillions of complex life forms over billions of years. There are over 10-to-the-power-of-30 microbes on planet earth right now, evolving in ways currently beyond the understanding of any computational biologist.

Although computer scientists can use genetic algorithms inspired by evolution to "breed" better backgammon algorithms, this is quite a few orders of magnitude simpler than emulating a true evolution of intelligent biological life.

The point is intelligent biological life forms are less complicated than the "factory" that produced them.
That's not true. If distros package closed source firmware updates the manufacturer has the ability to provide updates to people's computer via that system. I mean, that's the whole point and in a trustworthy environment that's a good thing. Maybe have a look at https://wiki.debian.org/Microcode#CPU_microcode_non-freeness (I'm not sure whether I'm just misinterpreting your comment or whether there is a knowledge gap, just to make sure we talk about the same thing :) ).

> By withholding that information they are effectively eliminating the choice, and restricting users' freedom.

You are mixing up agency and software freedom, it's clear that you won't see eye to eye with the FSF as long as you do so.

I'm not even vigorously defending not showing the note about existing firmware updates, if Guix really does so. I'd prefer a note. Just what it would mean and how problematic closed firmware would be seemed like it needed a clarification here.
Guix the package manager can work on top of a different Linux installation, and can even manage other things than distro packages. This is one of the things I'm planning to do.

BTW same thing is with Nix: you may not like the choices of NixOS but still enjoy most of the advantages Nix has to offer.
I rarely think about things in words and sentences. Only when I have to really nail something down logically or communicate it to someone else does it get expressed that way.

Concepts and ideas are more like some kind of abstract space, with relationships between things, but not visual. It's a model. Hard to describe really.

I was amazed to learn that many other people apparently have some kind of continuous monologue going on in their heads.

I do get that when there are too many people the experience is different. I do get that being in the wilderness with, like, earbuds in your ears is different than listening to the sounds of nature. I do get that being off trail can be different than on a trail. I do get that navigating with a map and compass can be different and fun versus using a GPS app on your phone.

But I wouldn't say, "to really experience the wilderness you have to....".

Instead I would repeat the maxim, "Hike Your Own Hike".
On my BlackBerry, I could set the keys to dial individual phone numbers with a single long press. The FJ bumps made it easy to do without looking. I sure miss that.
I don't think networking is something that takes tons of time. Just be nice and curious. Show yourself to be honest, reliable, and hardworking. Maybe go to dinner every couple of weeks.

I agree with you that there so is many language fads and things you could learn. I spent several hundreds hours on different Udemy things over the last few years. That's why I think just focus deeply on one or two areas like my ecommerce friend. Any new grade can learn the basics of whatever fad in a couple months so you don't want to be competing for that anyway.
I went for Topre because of the hype. Was interested how it lives up to it.
In the meanwhile Topre solved some issues I had with some of my finger joints.
Very relaxed typing. Fewer typos. Cushioned bottoming out. No pain anymore.

Have a 100% Realforce in ISO GER layout for number crunching and "general" computing. F Keys, numpad.

My fav board so far is the FC660c silent. Top notch quality. The silencing makes me appreciate the Topre feel even more. Small form factor to have a short distance to grab the mouse. That helps my shoulder. Getting old, I guess. My only wish is for a BT version.
The micro biome is lauded everywhere and considered as the last great frontier of medicine which will solve all human ailments. There is barely any disease that is not regarded as being potentially caused by the micro biome. It’s all complete horse shit.
What would stop someone from spawning a slightly modified (imperceptible to human eye) Brooklyn Bridge?

The idea of artificial scarcity seems central to NFT, but it is unclear if this is really a moat or desirable. Does it really convey exclusivity over a "unique" set of bits?
One thing I’ve long noticed is that “common sense” is analogous to a stopped clock, in that it’s its only correct when it happens to also be a different form of reasoning such as deductive, inductive, or abductive reasoning. Things called “common sense” but which are not also a different kind of knowledge are mere cultural shibboleths, and vary from wrong (fan death) to opinion (Shakespeare is good).

The traditional examples of common sense knowledge given when introducing the topic of A.I. are sufficiently imprecise to only be true given further common sense interpretation. For example: “things fall when you let go of them” unless they’re buoyant, or they fly, or they’re already on the ground, or you were in free-fall when you let go — these exceptions won’t really surprise anyone, and yet it’s both more compact and more accurate to say Σf=ma, f_g=G(m_1)(m_2)/r^2 etc.
Yes if you use your camera as a hobbyist I agree with you. For professional use, the clone stamp solution is not going to work, as I explained in the sibling thread. In that case you would need to have your sensor professionally cleaned, which can be done relatively easily as you mentioned in the beginning of your comment, but costs money at least where I live (Sydney, Australia).
"In recent years, a number of prominent computer scientists, along with academics in fields such as philosophy and physics, have lent credence to the notion that machines may one day become as large as humans. Many have further argued that machines could even come to exceed human size by a significant margin. However, there are at least seven distinct arguments that preclude this outcome. We show that it is not only implausible that machines will ever exceed human size, but in fact impossible."
There is one complexity that you left out, which is that they are unknowingly spending more money on heat because of the "freeloader" that they share a wall with.

So I wouldn't call it theft. But it seems like a clear case of freeloading.

It's like that roommate that never does the dishes because they know you will do them when it gets bad enough. Are they stealing your time? I suppose not, but they aren't doing their part.
Elixir is the language that ties all those other languages together there and was also their first language, until they had to branch out into those other ones for performance or other reasons.

The argument I was arguing against was that Elixir is niche, not argumentum ad populum. It's no longer really niche, just elite. ;)

Parts of the HFA experience can be advantageous. I wonder if certain aspects could be enhanced in this manner.
Even more analogous, what if the resident wants the same temperature as his neighbors, but just because of the position of his unit relative to the others it takes less energy to heat. Is that immoral?

Yes, yes, and yes. The android phone app is a case study in ergonomics failure. It boggles the mind and clearly shows how smartphones are not phones anymore but pocket browsers.
It's actually pretty straightforward:

The opposite is a bit tricky, though.

Ask HN: What is your favourite gaming hardware/device?
Title says it all. A bit of an explanation: I used to game a lot as a kid/teenager, and over the years it became less and less. Now with having my own family, time is rare but I sometimes "want the feeling back" I had as a kid and dive into a game.

I basically look for a device I can feel connected to. I had the Nintendo Switch and good experiences with it. I am now looking for a device which would feel good "to have" and can play a few games.

I am curious about your experiences. Do you enjoy gaming on an iPad? Are you a Switch person? Or do you have a dedicated gaming PC at home?
Where do "we" want to go today?
That's because this post, and I suspect many of the comments here, are advertisements.
For $6,500 USD I will create a GitHub repo called “A Bridge in Brooklyn” containing your name in the readme. You may consider the commit ID your non-fungible token. If you wish to sell it I will add another commit with the new owner’s name after I receive a $500 “gas fee”.

I will have my kid draw a picture of a bridge and send you a JPG of it; you can put that on Meta Horizon as many times as you want.

Naturally like all NFT wallets I fully reserve the right to delete the repo at any time for any reason with no warning.

Lmk what you think and I’ll get you my Venmo.
In a 1700+ word article, you found two words which were part of an analogy you disagreed with, and admit that the article clarifies in detail all of your concerns. I changed these two words from "just like" to "similar to", which solves your "problem", and you still aren't happy because it was "an outright lie". It was not a lie, only deliberate misinterpretation could possibly frame it that way, so I guess I can't make you happy. Wish you the best though!
Yikes. If there were truly no other reason than that, I'd see it as kinda petty.

But perhaps there's something more to the story? There are a lot of little reasons that could make it more reasonable. Were people fighting over it? Was a person or people walking by his desk waiting for him to finish, or worse, asking if he was finished? Or digging in his trash can? Or worse, assuming he was finished and taking it off his desk? All of these would be rather annoying things I could see leading to that.

I remember when I worked in a grocery with a deli, we used to give away or heavily heavily discount fried chicken at close time. Eventually more and more people started crowding around at closing time, clogging the area, arguing who was there first, etc. What was a logical nice choice turned into the owner saying screw it, throw it all away every night. An outsider would say it's wasteful or mean, but seeing it happen gave a good context.

Anyhow, in your example, I think it's reasonable anyone depending or expecting said paper to chip in. Maybe rotate days, offer a buck here or there, buy coffee, whatever. Or ask the company to buy a few copies for everyone.

Actually, legally, there is. Copyright still exists, and still applies to NFTs.
> You can't use any copy of the png to interact with other services, since there is only one service that allows for the interactive capabilities, and it requires ownership of the token to access.

This makes no sense. Given any possible interaction you could have with a PNG some other service can replicate it. They could choose to do so with alternative NFTs pointing to the same PNGs, or just let you use any PNG at your leisure.

Let's give the benefit of the doubt and say your service is utterly unique. That you have somehow invented some kind of super-magic software that does something super incredible with PNGs that no one else can manage, and you've decided that NFTs are the way to determine who can and cannot use the service. What exactly is your reasoning to use NFTs in this way instead of traditional authentication mechanisms? Because the only one I can think of is capitalizing off the NFT hype.

Please, convince me that NFTs as a technology have some inherent value instead of all their value being derived from a collective delusion and FOMO. I'm aching to hear a good, concrete usecase for the technology that simply cannot be done better without it.
Google deliberately gimps functionality of maps in Edge and Firefox at least.

Definitely not a problem for the wider web though.
>And I'm at a loss on what car to hope for instead.

If you can afford Porsche the Taycan is leagues beyond anything that Tesla offers from a quality and driving dynamics standpoint. The Taycan uses the 992 911's (latest generation) steering rack and it really shows. It provides lots of feedback and feels very precise and responsive. It feels like Porsche, it's not numb and toned down just because it's an EV. They're also working on an electric Cayenne.
In short, it was hate.

As I said, for me depression also manifested as a set of very negative sensations (you’re almost dead, feel like sort of hangover). After doc said that I can fight it, I became very angry at it and wanted to punch it in its face even with my numb hands, and that was a big part of that morning momentum buildup. It wasn’t a positive motivation, like “If I do some aerobics I will feel better”, it was more along the lines of “I hate your rule and you will die with me”. Thinking of it more, you’re right, it is motivation, but with a non-trivial connection to the result.

He probably knew me well enough to suggest the right plan, or it was just a good guess. Because anger and revolt are my base personal traits, and depression couldn’t take it from me that easy. E.g. being sometimes anxious, I often make self-exposition just to spite these feelings, instead of fleeing from their source. (Please don’t think I’m non-civilized though, it is completely internal thing.)

As of formal diagnosis, yes that was completely it, in an acute form (i.e. not chronic).

Edit: also I listened to Jocko Willink speeches in that state and understood them sooo well. He was so obvious. Now when my usual reasoning returned, they sound a little funny. It’s like two completely parallel worlds.

Would you mind clarifying what a canary is? I understand it is referencing the idea of a canary in a coal mine but what does that look like in this context? Other than having a separate account to which you transfer most of your funds so you can't get robbed at gunpoint and be forced to transfer someone your money I'm drawing a blank here - sorry.
> If you use gmail or outlook or just forward your emails there, I've got bad news for you :)

That's why you shouldn't use those either if you care about privacy. You should use fastmail, zoho or some other service where you are the customer, not the product.
Sounds more like the NFT is a ticket for entry to an experience.

How does this work if a person makes a unique wallet for this NFT and then shares the private key? Does that essentially break the exclusivity mechanics?
Really? I can type exceptionally quickly and actually using the android swipe typing. At least as good as the original Swype. Sure it's not as fast as a physical keyboard, but I'm not writing a novel on this device. (3 typos made writing this)
Interesting, but I think parent was asking how to run it on silicon.
I wouldn't say it's comparable to that. In this case, they would've faced the exact same problem (even worse, actually), if their neighbor hadn't been home and hence didn't have anything generating heat at all, which the neighbor has every right to do, and which would've provided zero grounds for them to complain. That's drastically different from the dishwashing case where the roommate would actually be using more dishes by their presence than by their absence, not equal (or less).
all of these discussions eventually reveal themselves to be special framing of the old Parmenides question about determinism, whether we live in a block universe where choice and change are illusions, and thought and being are the same. I am increasingly convinced he is right, and that arguments such as the OP (and Searle-ism generally) present end up refuting not the existence of artificial intelligence, but intelligence itself. "Artificial" smuggles in naturalistic fallacy and privileges the dualism hypothesis.
Are they opposed to ever expansive corporations like Amazon as well or is it that their principle only applies to what they think is the government? If the government rebranded itself as Gov. Inc. would these people stop opposing its perceived expansion?

@moreoutput: Your reply is marked as dead so most people are not going to see it. If you have an argument then present it instead of projecting what I think about Amazon. I have no problems with Amazon.
“(b) Ownership. (i) When you purchase a Meebit, you own only the NFT, not any associated Art. Each Meebit is associated with a non-fungible token (an “NFT”) on the Ethereum blockchain. When you acquire a Meebit, you own the NFT, not the associated Art, or any other Meebits Materials (as that term is defined below), or any Third Party IP.”

Not really sure what point you are trying to make. With Meebits, you don’t own anything other than the token itself.

> We at ClubNFT fired up a massive AWS instance with 40TB of EBS disk space to attempt to download this, with a cost estimate of $10k-20k over the next month,

Is this for real? Why would they do it this way? I can buy 20TB of storage for less than $1000 (in New Zealand, no doubt far far cheaper in USA). Using one fifth of my residential gigabit bandwidth that would take just over a day to download.

Why on Earth would someone spend $20k and a month to achieve what can be done for one twentieth the cost in one thirtieth the time? Only to have the files on a remote AWS instance where you would still need to download them if you wanted to access them?

Now that I think of it, are there any major startups launched post Rails glory days? Some time around and before Rails 4.0, so 2013.

Almost all the major former startups that I could find are from 2010 or earlier.
In a lot of places these days it's really easy to get a $15/hr job (I mean that's like entry-level fast food work, ubering, etc.) So $650 works out to slightly more than a week's work, be super conservative with taxes/expenses/benefits and let's say 2 weeks.

So 2 weeks' work is a considerable amount of work, but it's also certainly within the realm of possibility for the vast, vast majority of people. I'd really say this just highlights how some communities value educational attainment and others do not.

Sure, it's much easier to come up with $650 if you're rich than if you're poor, but that's true of just about anything. $650 is certainly within the reach of nearly everyone, it just depends on whether your parents are willing to sacrifice for it.

A 60-something may have the advantage of requiring less food weight than a young man because metabolism has slowed down. I have certainly noticed this when backpacking with much young college students. I eat like a sparrow; them like hogs.
