Ask HN: Any communities/apps for hobby clockwork/gearpunk?
Just as there are many apps/tools/communities for hobby electronics and building electrical circuits etc., is there any such hobbyist ecosystem around building clockwork machines or even computers using only mechanical components (gears etc.)?

How about an app akin to the Incredible Machine game [0] where you built Rube Goldberg-like contraptions, but for practical real-world projects, that lets you pick and plop components with a 3D interface and simulate the machine onscreen?

This thought just occurred to me that it could be a very entertaining and rewarding hobby.

they might not care if they (the politicians) are still being feed while the rest of australia starves. look at north korea, the regime is well feed, but also they have contracts with china so that might be why, i couldn’t see australia (a free nation) siding with china, russia, north korea or any other authoritarian government for support in the future but crazier things have happened. history has a ton of examples of that.
Dreams are different from imagining things. When I dream, I'm seeing the dream out of my 'eyes', but its more floaty and out of body.

But when I wake up, I'm remembering what I experienced and it's like a fuzzy movie playing in my head. Imagining things, I think, is very closely tied to remembering and manipulating visual input.

What's your solution? Hacking the C&C servers in violation of the laws of whatever country they're in? That already is the "wild west" solution.

The alternative would be something like voluntary blocking by endpoints and firewalls, which nobody would have any reason not to use as long as the block list contains only things like this which nobody actually wants, and therefore doesn't require any government mandates.
> more like a co-op

The owners aren’t providing labour. Votes are tied to shares—one person can have more than one vote. And the shares are acquired with capital. Closer to corporation than coöp.

If the DAO committed to turning the team over to its players or fans, and then fixed one vote one member, that would resemble a coöperative.
Because normal people do it know what a “signed email” might mean. Also, both PGP and S/MIME are hot messes of insecure 1990s cryptography with no reliable key distribution, no authenticated encryption, and meaningful headers which are not covered by the signature.
As a supercomma, a semicolon is necesssary as a list-separator, if you have list-items with embedded commas. Your "three families" example is spot-on. I wouldn't know how to rewrite it, without using some Powerpoint-derived notation, such as bullet-lists, which just isn't conversational.

It looks like they store the extended attributes in the __MACOSX tree too. And everything you download from the web has extended attributes describing the original URL and page that linked to it. (With chrome/safari, I haven't checked firefox.)

It looks like the finder "compress" functionality will include __MACOSX, and the command line zip doesn't.

If you run `xattr -l` on something in your Downloads, you should see the kMDItemWhereFroms metadata. mdls shows it too, but also includes other data that is extracted from the file itself.

> This means the current laws prevent the web from being the wild west.

If you take 'wild west' to be pure anarchy free from any law, then sure. But I don't think that's what is actually meant, nor does it describe the real wild west, nor even the popular perception of the wild west. Pop-media depictions of the wild west are filled with sheriffs, bounty hunters, judges, etc. That wild west outlaws exist as a trope implies the existence of laws for these outlaws to violate. Utter absolute lawlessness is not the implication of 'wild west'.
Does that matter? The point is to measure how happy people are, not how happy others would be in their shoes.

Green Bay Packers, Inc. has no owners.

Every other team is owned through a business organization, but no one refers to those organizations as the owner, they refer to the private individual billionaires (ie no one says the Kraft Group is the owner of the Patriots, they refer to Robert Kraft as the owner. Or Mark Cuban is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks). No one would argue in good faith they are not the owners.

Umm no. I have the expectation of loss but am putting a small amount money to insure myself against the emotional distress of if I missed a big mooning opportunity. The default expectation is that the money is all lost.

A desire implies a conscious and at least semi-reasonable actor.

People with desires behave rationally (mostly). If person X doesn't want to be homeless, they probably won't burn their house down. We can depend on that.

COVID is not a rational actor. It might burn its own house down and do a tapdance on the ashes.

Even though being less lethal is evolutionarily advantageous, COVID could absolutely become more lethal in the short term.

Repair or restore?

Repairing, of course, depends on the damage. If it's torn pages, success of a repair depends on the torn edge, whether it's laterally torn or cleanly with no offset.

Lateral tears could be glued [1], but clean tears will need some additional support, which could be non-trivial, if no-tape is preferred.

Well, for some books, tape-repair is not such a bad idea, esp. if it's in active, often "doomed-by-design", use (aka young kids). Well, could be a teaching moment on "healing the hurt book" and how not to hurt them any more.

Thick pages could be split-sliced too and then reinforced, if it's worth the hassle and a sharp blade hazard.

Reparing the joints could be also reasonably reinforced with matching paper and glue.

Fixing the broken spines may need disassembly and reattachment of the cover.

Broken stitching too will need cover disassembly and restitching of the damaged booklet. If the binding is not threaded but glued, then hopefully it could just be reglued. The trick is in salvaging the spine (if there's any title or design on it).

Book restoration is even harder, as you may be dealing with something of irreplaceable and high value. So consult the pros.

> complex conjugate of Ξ [...] divide that by, say, Ξ

This is not a real concern; it was done by Barry Mazur as a joke, hoping to provoke Serge Lang into using his catchphrase "this notation sucks", so Mazur could present him with a prepared "This Notation Sucks" tee-shirt. See the Paul Vojta section of http://www.ams.org/notices/200605/fea-lang.pdf
That is absolutely not true. Email is valid for signatures in all common law jurisdictions (i.e. English speaking jurisdictions except Louisiana) and Louisiana.

It’s a fundamental principle of common law that agreements are contracts even if you don’t follow some specific procedure (such as pen and paper signatures or Docusign) to agree to them.

In the US, federal law (UCC) deviates from common law jurisprudence by requiring that some contracts be written and signed, but it says that signing is “using any symbol executed or adopted with present intention to adopt or accept a writing” (i.e., anything is a signature if you intend it to be one) and that the symbol may be produced “manually or by means of a device or machine” (e.g. a computer).

In the U.S., Louisiana does not follow common law (they are based on Roman/
pre-Napoleonic French law) but they explicitly recognized electronic signatures in 2006.

So, no, you don’t have to be aware of specifics that vary state to state. You can use email/PDFs/anything else to sign a document anywhere in the English speaking world.
What will happen to the funds contributed to ConstitutionDAO that owners don't feel is worth paying the "gas" fees to get the refund on?

> the group said it had 17,437 donors with a median donation of $206.26... One user on the Discord said that in order to get $400 refunded, they would have to pay $168 in gas (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59392827)

Presumably there are people who donated $100 and it isn't worth getting the money back. Are these pots of money a good way for a scammer to get a lot of money input and then only have to refund 75% of the donated money? If they raised $40M and only $30M gets refunded, who controls the remaining $10M?

At some point it seems like it would be ripe for a scam. Even if this case has some protections, it seems like it would be easy for someone to do something unprotected in the future.

Everyone send me bitcoin and if we hit $2B in bitcoin in the account, we'll buy an NBA team and all share ownership in proportion to our investment. If we aren't able to buy a team, you can get a refund. Oh, 1% of people forgot about it and didn't claim their refund within the 2-year refund window? Well, that's $20M for me.

Has this been solved and I just don't know it?

I believe the AS/400 calls it Field Exit. One of the things I used to do for new users was remap Field Exist to Enter in the IBM 5250 emulation software. Then the enter key acted like the user expected (on a real 5250 terminal there is a separate physical Enter key located where the right control key is on modern keyboards).

Explaining Field Exit vs Enter was something most users didn't get. However, they did understand Enter as like a submit button (like on web pages) and were fine selecting fields with the mouse.

They won't stop themselves. We have to invite them to police specific parts and stop them when they want to expand their control further. We generally like police to patrol the city and guard kindergartens etc but don't invite them to station in our bedrooms.

Isn't Facebook already censored and guarded strictly? Not sufficiently apparently. There still are a lot of weirdos, bullshitters and political trolls there AFAIK (but I admit I didn't really check - I just read about that a lot, incl. here on HN). I.e. fact-checking should be enforced, whoever is caught on repeated intentional lying with purpose to manipulate audience should be banned.
Their legal claim to the value stored in the eth isn't gone just because they can't get it out. If these are actually set up in a legal way these type of pots are nuclear waste. You don't want to be stuck keeping this thing alive or disbursing money from it.

> a LOT of that is coming from above middle management

For sure. One of the curses of the modern business environment is the belief in management as a universal skill. That if one has an MBA one can manage anything. That all one needs to do is find the appropriate graph and make it go up and to the right. In practice it ends up being an erasure of domain-specific knowledge in favor of the naive beliefs of the powerful.

I'm not sure I agree with the "not human like" angle on this one. Is this not what our brain and visual system is doing all the time? I look at a glass of water on a table. I perceive the same glass whether I'm looking at it directly, towards the side of it, from my periphery, or even closing my eyes. Which input neurons are directly perceiving the glass actually changes drastically between these states, indeed even while just looking at it straight on your eyes imperceptibly twitch to intentionally introduce jitter in order to pick up more detail (this is called "saccades"). Include other senses and the number of ways that you can perceive something explodes combinatorially. Yet I perceive the glass as a single permanent object nearly the same in all of those scenarios despite the fact that my perception of it is varying rapidly -- this is so automatic and ingrained that you don't even conceptualize it as something that you do unless you pay attention.

That's what makes this cool and VERY human-like. Just because our visual system isn't set up to handle this particular type of reshuffling problem doesn't mean that we don't constantly have to handle the reshuffling of inputs to maintain a coherent view of reality.

I've shipped commercial games alone with Unreal Engine 4 and Godot. I highly recommend Godot 3. Godot 4 wasn't quite baked last time I checked, but it will be a ripper with Vulkan support and very much of an overhaul.

If you're half-clever with your 3D knowledge (don't render an entire world in 1 mesh), Godot 3 is perfectly fine. The tooling of UE4 will win any time if you want to do open world though. Even though I've made a pretty convincing prototype, _huge_ blade-runner kind of world in Godot with flying cars; so it's all technically possible.

In other words, if you don't need consoles (and frankly as an indie you don't want to deal with the big boys), Godot is perfect.

Just don't hope you'll live off your game any time soon though, the indie market is utterly algorithm driven and therefor fucked. The learning experience and the joy of using Godot however, is well worth learning game development with.

Godot and Blender are really becoming some of the best in class in their own field.
I read the article. It is called "pq formeln" _in Swedish_. The p and q refers to the traditional names of the coefficients.

If you invest $100 with the expectation that it will be lost with 99% probability, and that it will become $100,000 with 1% probability, you are expecting a profit of $901.

It's really magical for sure:

It's one of the only chemicals which expands when frozen! I once read, not sure where, that many societies used to use water freezing to carve or break off materials such as a hard rock for construction use, maybe even for the Egyptian pyramids.

Water also has one of the largest specific heats of any chemical, which is why it's used for power generation. It allows for a slower flow and less water versus other chemicals which don't hold as much heat.

It's also present everywhere, not hard to purify, and non-toxic at great quantities.
hrm. Reread the website and I think you'll find it's very much not stock in the normal sense of the word. And they're very clear that you can't make a profit from it (you can't even sell it) and it doesn't given any ownership:

>Common stock does not constitute an investment in “stock” in the common sense of the term. Purchasers should not purchase common stock with the purpose of making a profit.

> You cannot sell, assign or otherwise transfer shares of Common Stock to a third party, except that you may transfer shares to an “immediate family” member by gift or in the event of death. “Immediate family” is defined as the spouse, children, mother, father, brothers, sisters, or any lineal descendent of a shareholder.
You assume wrong. The things regulators have authority over are rather broadly defined, and the regulators will and have rather eagerly pursue novel attempts to avoid regulation. The best that one running such things could hope for is a period of indecision.

This though seems pretty cut and dry “is a security” and all sorts of compliance will apply early.
