Just like the existence of flying birds were a hint that flying machines might be possible, the existence of thinking creatures is a hint that thinking machines might be possible.

But it doesn't have QoS, right? Sure, shaping is all well and good, but this really all there is to it in OpenBSD.

I was shocked that a server OS this old could be this immature on something this basic.

It pretty much excludes it from being a serious router/firewall.

Interesting that cycling 24h record 900km is less than 2x of skateboard record 313m/503km. From my amateur experience with both, would expect cycling to be 5x-10x of skateboarding.

I'm not familiar with any of these, but then I'm not familiar with Meta Horizon either. I'll be the first to admit I'm not up on what the "cool kids" are doing. If it helps feel free to imagine your explaining this to your culturally clueless but technically savvy grandpa.

But looking at these, I'm just not seeing the value that NFTs have provided vs already existing methods. For example I'm looking at https://somniumspace.com/parcel/3402?elv=-0.68. I assume the art on the walls here are NFTs no? And I'd have to be the owner of the NFT if I wanted to take it to my own "parcel"? But what prevents me from simply taking the source image and simply minting my own NFT and displaying it? And why would I want to use a space like this instead of something like Second Life or VR Chat where I can go the much more direct route of simply uploading a PNG?

That's the piece that I have yet to see answered clearly. I certainly get it's technically possible to build something based around NFTs, and given that they are currently trending I'm not in the least bit surprised someone has. I just can't see how it's superior either via ease of use or in technical capability to something that already exists.
That's extremely impressive, and super fast, to be able to maintain an average like that. Was that a circle or a one-way? (because of wind)
I supported the verdict, and even I don't think that discussion belongs here.
It depends on what you're looking for. If you think of Forth as just a macro-assembler that's easy to get started with, then you're going to just use Forth as a way to bring-up a system and leave. If you think of Forth as a way to build a custom DSL around essential complexity, then you'll be comfortable taking it as high as you'd like. I know most people, especially the types of folks who experiment with languages, view Forth as the former (especially since a lot of these folks are either interested in something high-level like Lisp or with more static assurance like an ML derivative), but if you want to actually see where Forth shines, then you need to actually write high level code in it.
The FSF is deceiving themselves and others by believing that just because a user no longer has the ability to update firmware on a device, that device is acually no longer running non-free code.

I really do not understand what is so hard to understand that from a free software POV there is no distinction between a chip loading a blob from system storage and a chip loading a blob from it's own tiny updatable flash. Both load a non-free blob. Neither fully respects your freedom. Drawing the line of Respects Your Freedom TM between those 2 is stupid and deceptive.

The users ability to update firmware is also the ability to revert firmware changes (to a old trusted even if closed source version) made by a malicious party. Users do not gain any freedom by giving up that ability. They loose freedom.

Being able to choose between MS Office and Lotus and Star Office and WPS Office (1) gives the user more freedom compared to being stuck with just MS Office (2), even if none of those respect your freedom. Being able to also choose Libre Office (3) is obviously better. But 1 is still obviously better than 2. The existance or absence of 3 does not change that.

With regards to firmware, the FSF believes that 2 is better than 1. That is stupid. How do you not see that?

It is a valid form of protest but Respects Your Freedom TM certified hardware does not truuuuly respect your freedom.

This is harmful because the goal should be hardware with FLOSS firmware with reproducible builds and with the option for the user to add their own signing keys, NOT unupdatable (by the user) closed source proprietary firmware.
Can a Vastly Bigger National-Service Program Bring the USA Back Together?
Because if you give it away for free, you devalue the service on the market. So that person may not pay, but someone else will. But if the actual buyer sees someone else getting it for free, they will not be inclined to pay for it either.

So I guess it depends on your motive and the circumstance. If you are doing it purely to negatively affect the other person, it's not a very kindhearted thing to do. If you are doing it to preserve the market value of your service so that you can collect a payment, that is fine.
Philosophy has never even been accidentally right about anything regarding artificial intelligence, which is impressive since it seems like every philosopher and his dog felt the need to opine on AI since the inception of the idea.

I regularly travel back to Brazil when I need to do something more involved that’s not an emergency, because the healthcare I get there is MUCH better than what I get in the US (I pay $800/y to keep a health insurance plan there). That’s one of the Third World Countries for you.

I have friends who also live in the US, and went through chemo and surgeries there. I did LASIK myself. None of us paid a dollar on top of the annual insurance, for any of it.

Even though you aren't stealing anything, the light from your neighbor's lamp is still limited. An even broader example is the flame of a candle. Fire is an unlimited resource - if you light your candle from another, you have not only stolen nothing, but added more light to the world.

This analogy applies to software - if you copy a piece of software, you are not depriving the owner of the software from their copy, just like the flame.

Now software companies may complain that you are depriving them of revenue for their copyrighted bits. The same argument could be used with the original story - by using your neighbor's light, you are depriving lamp oil companies of their revenue. Clearly an absurd take, and I tend to think software copyrights are also absurd. I will organize the atoms and electrons in my computer's memory and storage how I damn well please.
On HN, the lack of enthusiasm for blockchain certainly has those factors.

It also has another factor that Algorand doesn't solve: no one has found a problem that blockchains uniquely solve (other than making cryptocurrencies).

There is debate about whether cryptocurrencies are useful or just a speculative market for gambling on useless digital assets, but even if you think cryptocurrencies are truly useful, Satoshi's underlying breakthrough isn't that novel or exciting anymore.
Those engineers are not that different. Just because Boeing also works on weapons doesn't magically mean that those engineers would be great at building weapons when they spent all their time on SLS.

If you want engineers that have knowledge about a particular thing, then just pay them to work on that. And if for some strange reason you don't want to do that, then at least let them work on something that is not dumb and pointless.

Non of the arguments why SLS makes sense, are credible to me.

And its not historical either, as those jobs are not preserved for deep strategic reasons, but rather shallow political gain reasons.
One would assume if the interview were with the cyclist who took the longer trip then the title would be too.
The TSA exists to normalize control. It doesn't matter if it works or not at stopping terrorists, the point was never to actually prevent terrorism. Much like "communism" or "drugs" during the wars on those two things, "terrorism" is just a convenient excuse to expand the surveillance and police states in the name of "security", and much like with the activities the NSA and social media companies get up to spying on people and stealing their data, everyone complains about the TSA but no one ever does anything to actually challenge the existence of it. In fact, it only helps this agenda that going through the TSA is often a demeaning or dehumanizing (especially if you're POC or trans, interestingly enough) or at least extremely annoying experience; we still have to put up with this, and the state knows this. When you go through the TSA, what you're supposed to get out of it is "I will comply with what the state wants even if it's completely nonsensical and unpleasant"

In that respect I'd say the TSA has been a resounding success and probably isn't going anywhere.

Light has become exponentially cheaper over time. San Francisco now limits prosecution for stealing up to a certain amount. It’s not stealing to use extra light!

Thank you Todd for such an inpsiring story. I think agencies in United States need to get back to focus and avoid tilting politically in one way or the other.
The problem you're describing (Auto AC) isn't that automatic ac doesn't work, but that it's working within a small, very confined space and those differences in temperature are felt immediately.

From a personal perspective, I'd rather set it and forget it. It's why when I rarely use the car AC, one button is all it takes and it adjusts to something between 70 and 73, which is about the same it would be at home. When it's cold, you know the heater will be turning on automatically and I don't have to worry about waiting for the car to warm up for heat to work - the auto AC knows when it's hot enough and blasts it full strength at the right time, instead of me having to fiddle with manual controls to get the right timing, for example. Ditto for hot weather - blasts cool air with the push of a button.

The beauty is that you can have both, and knobs and auto AC aren't mutually exclusive, although that's gonna be up to the manufacturer and their market research.
You do. Maintaining maturity can be difficult.
>Presumably your car will be in places with more demanding climate conditions than your knob-filled synth. And areas of high humidity or with lots of dust/gunk are the places that break down knobs the most.

Yeah, you wish. Have you ever been to a music studio, or a live show? You'd be lucky if nobody spills beer on your gear :)

Dust, gunk, smoke, humidity, and temperature are usually way worse than in the interior of a car.

Not to mention, I've never had an issue with knobs in any of my cars (particularly, the 2000 Honda Civic that I drove until 2017, or the 2010 Honda Fit that I'm driving now, or my partner's Toyota's from the same years).

Knobs breaking down is a hypothetical problem. The knobs are fine.

>I also wonder if the fear stemmed from back when knobs and buttons required extra wiring instead of using buses like most cars do now.

The fear comes from the need to sell "modern"-looking interfaces. If the new car looks like the old one, why buy it? Yet another good UX killed in the name of marketing.

Again, synthesizers went through the same cycle: knobs -> buttons and menus -> touch screens -> KNOBS. There was never a good reason to not have any knobs, especially on high-end gear. It was all about style.
Is there a PyCharm plugin that maps your functions?

While you're not wrong, the GPU situation makes maintaining a gaming PC harder, starting from scratch is actually easier than not these days because you can get better deals on prebuilts with modern GPUs.
Also keep in mind that you might be able to live a perfectly satisfying life without replacing even half your current income. Track your spending, not your income, since right now you are probably paying a lot of income tax that you won't be paying when you stop working. If you can replace the amount of spending you want to support, then it doesn't really matter what percentage of your current income that becomes.
No, that's false when public goods exist. The market can't figure out the correct price of carbon, because when I produce carbon, it harms other people than me.

Off-topic, but... this is Econ 101! I feel a bit like a programmer would feel when someone says "hey, our car is programmed using an HTML5 supercomputer". It alarms me that an argument which has been known for 250 years, and formalized for 60 years, still hasn't percolated to the educated general public. Markets can't magically work out the correct prices in the presence of externalities.

(To head off a nerdy counter-argument: yes, yes, Coase theorem, blah blah. If you think we can automatically negotiate to internalize all externalities, then fine - that seems wildly wrong to me but it's not a logically invalid argument. But if so, markets per se add nothing. Property rights plus individual contract law get you all you need.
Then just read a university text-book and don't look for that in a educational video.
That's exactly what it means. I guess 10% wasn't worth doing 3600 laps on a velodrome. I can see why.
> Did the COO want to get what was on his mind so the company would lose nothing by firing him? Or was he utterly disappointed about said mind?

In abusive environments, there is no logic, both things can be "true" at the same time. The COO wants to hurt him by firing him, but on some level also realizes that his contribution is valuable. Just because they want to get rid of him, that is no reason not to use him for one last time.

(Usually this works the other way round: people are told that they are worthless, but also that it would be highly irresponsible and unethical of them to leave. Somehow, both things can be "true" at the same time.)
mindslight, i cant reply to you directly so i will do it like this. thank you for clarifying about Erata 734. if Erata 734 applied to 6200 then libreboots logic would make no sense

i take no issue about with critically discussing someones logic. fud and attacks are annoying and dont contribute to a healthy discussion
This is the 'fun' part of having many engineering teams with full autonomy of various subsystems, and with no prior discussion, they decide to start writing cookies. Running in isolation, their single service may not blow the limit. But it's a shared resource and generally nobody is keeping track of when that 8kb limit is reached.
Feels like we're handicapping ourselves, at least in this specific domain, with digital computing.

Yes. That's why I explained the context which led to my understanding of his comment when you asked.
Corporations (and consumers, and politicians) react according to their perceived costs and benefits. If the cost of pollution is not properly incurred, it will be overproduced. It's not a corporation problem (or a consumer problem), it's a market failure problem.

Friedman preferred taxes to solve this because that approach has the least room for rent seeking behavior, unlike approaches like subsidizing or mandating specific solutions.
Your network can be compromised if the device is connected to the same network as other devices. However, most modern routers support a guest WiFi, which may be a good fit here.

In the previous company I worked for we provided alternative laptops when traveled to China, as it is enough to connect to a hot spot to get infected.

With that said, if your father in law has other devices, worth connecting them to the guest network as well.

I'm a very happy user of the free tier of Descript right now, and will definitely pay once my transcription limit is reached.

It seems like this particular product might do a better job of the automated editing specifically, but Descript has a ton of other features (speaker identification, transcription, real-time editing based on text edits, asset management, and uploads), and I definitely wouldn't trade them for marginally better auto-removal of noise and filler.

Does anybody who develops Cleanvoice have any commentary here?
If only there were some sort of entity "above" corporations that governed, in some sort of way. They could provide security for society. Nope, that could never work.
> That's besides the point. Why anything?

I mean, ok, if we're going to engage in some form of economic nihilism then I guess we can say anything is valuable. Q-Ray Bracelets, faith healing, and star registries included. Tulip bulbs really can be "worth" a fortune. But that's not a very useful premise for discussion. What people are arguing over is whether or not there is any non-woo value to be associated with these things.

> When it comes to NFTs as a concept though, I think they can be applied better than what people are currently doing.

I'm not convinced. I keep hearing people say this but I have yet to hear even one idea that can't be done better by other, older, non-hyped technologies.

> SaaS licenses that can be resold for example is one interesting use case.

Case in point: we can do this just fine today, but we don't because there's no reason for an SaaS provider to want to do that.

> The fear comes from the need to sell "modern"-looking interfaces. If the new car looks like the old one, why buy it?

Agreed. I hope they snap out of their collective delusion sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I wonder if you can make your own knobby panel that interfaces with Android Auto to paper over the crappy UX of flat surfaces.

The Day Mandela Was Arrested, with a Little Help from the CIA
IT make no sense to build a dedicated launch system and non-reusable rocket to deliver a few 100kg max into orbit.

A Starship launches 150 tons reusable. That far cheaper and less work then building 500 Upper-Stages and shoot 500 of those rockets with a SpinLaunch system.

There is really no comparison in cost.

Maybe they could make the upper stage reusable but that would reduce the payload to and even more pathetic amount.

This system simply can not compete against reusable rockets.
Seems they'd be better served by a placebo and a better functioning society.
To be fair, at least it’s an attempt to do it for something good. Humans are driven by feedback loops, and some habits, such as meditation, are good for you, so if they can find a way to make the brain stick to it, I’m totally onboard!
This is just to notice that the [clone apply] clone apply for recursion is very close to the way the lambda calculus Y combinator reduces via graph rewrites, after is translated into a graph [1].The graphical reductions lead to just a pair of two trivalent nodes, one of them a sort of fanout (clone) and another an application [2]. There is no lambda term which can be directly translated into this graph, because of the wiring of the graph.

This coincidence is curious.

[1] you can check this at https://mbuliga.github.io/quinegraphs/lambda2mol.html#y_comb...

where you can see how the term Y (\x.x) reduces. In the λ>mol textarea delete what is written there and just copy/paste

(\g.((\x.(g (x x))) (\x.(g (x x))))) input

then click the λ>mol button. Then the start button. Stop whenever you want.

[2] the graph akin to a pair clone - apply can be seen at
https://mbuliga.github.io/quinegraphs/quinelab.html#howtolab

where you copy/paste this graph as written in the mol notation:

A input y x^FOE x output y

"A" is the apply node and "FOE" is a clone node (say).
I like how YouTube Vanced / Newpipe does it where you just swipe up or down on the right side of the screen.
Pension funds.

The company you work for will give X% of your salary each month to Willis Towers Watson or whoever, who invest huge sums of money on behalf of people like you.

Then you move jobs or the start-up fails or whatever, but your old money is still with Towers Watson, hopefully earning a decent return. You contribute to a pension in your new job too.

When it comes to retiring, you cash in your contributions from the pension fund (possibly having done some amalgamating and tidying up from the various jobs you've had) for some class of annuity and possibly a lump sum. All going well, it should be enough to live on in retirement.

If you're working and aren't contributing to a pension, I would strongly recommend it.
