I think GPL with it's focus on 'can't be used in commercial' is deeply limiting.

I think the 'You have to make public variations of this module but it can be used for anything and linked to closed source statically or dynamically' ... is more ideal for those kinds of things, which is kind of pragmatically the case. But still.

It would also be nice if courts could make rulings on verbiage or licences instead of waiting for trials because that legal cloud is a big overhang for the entire world.
Yale is kind of where you go if you're part of the American establishment but not too bright. The lesser Bush went there. The ones who are both well-connected and smart go to Harvard or Stanford, or maybe Princeton.
I think the first time I encountered it was in some makefile of Chrome or perhaps V8 that automagically downloaded dependencies. It sounds nice in theory, but then I expected the tarball to contain the entire thing which caused trouble and confusion down the line.
Society won't stay the same if we don't die from age induced problems. Lots of rules and laws will have to change. To say death is only option undercuts the potential for humans to change and become better.

Throughout history there have been plenty of people in power and rule to see the errors of their ways and induce lasting real positive change. Sure there will be growing and transition pains but I for one welcome the impacts that human longevity will bring longer term.

I agree that the graduate education and research at such schools is generally world-class. I'm less convinced that the undergraduate education at Harvard or Yale is substantially better than, say, the University of Michigan or any other top 20 school, especially in domains with a relatively standard curriculum like math and physics.

Also, don't confuse the outputs with the causal effects of ivy PhD problems. Some of the learning environments are terrible but graduate leading researchers because they use the name brand to attract the top applicants. Their inputs are amazing, so the outputs are excellent even with subpar value-add.

I think the operating system should allow users to do whatever they want with it, as long as they consent to it.

I'm honestly a little bit baffled how the discussion swings the other end when it comes to software like this, compared to say the Google Manifest V3 debate. If people value having fewer cheaters in their video games and they're willing to accept the trade-off of having software run at a low-level to be effective at detection that's their choice.

Flatpak's are a great choice to have but I don't want to have the operating system force them on me.
It worsens my health by increasing the amount of insulin my body secretes and if pushed too high this can cause type 2 diabetes.

Other side effects include cysts and cystic acne. The amount these occurred after both shots was pretty high and the occurrence was pretty persistent for two months after each shot (AZ with 3 months in-between shot).

While both times I had Covid, before and after the vaccine, my insulin stayed within normal ranges.
So maybe the attenuated virus vaccines can be used for people like me? Or maybe none, if no risk factors like obesity or old age are present as the side effects are also life shortening.
There's nothing brave in the "This thing wrong, abolish it!" social justice rhetoric. We've been hearing this for the last 20 years and it has become meaningless.

If we've raised a generation that thinks that abolishing something will always do good, then we've done a terrible job for the next generations.
It is quite easy, the ASP.NET folks on the C# team don't care about the remaining use cases, and they are the ones behind the initial .NET Core reboot.

Except, everyone else cares about everything else .NET Framework has been used for the last 20 years.

This was quite telling on the .NET 6 release with its minimal APIs to compete against Python and JavaScript "hello world" apps. As soon as one scales beyond that, it is back to the old MVC model.
In many parts of the world government schools are often free or close to free. But the private universities are not and most governments do not offer student loans for private schooling as there is the freeish government alternative (if you pass the university entrance exam). That’s why many of them are both harder and more prestigious than the private sector ones. Some countries have mandatory service for a couple of years for free medical schooling though.
It seems that Yale is the the epitome of modern neoliberalism: incestuous, deeply capitalist, superficially woke but not in any meaningful way that would affect the balance of economic or political power.

Mining is an area with a very high riskware ratio. 100 years ago, mines were found by surface prospecting. You mind some ore, be it gold, silver, copper, zinc. and you dig a hole and manually remove the ore. You have seen the old movies with the
quintessential bearded prospector. Back in those days a lot of land was state/federal/crown land. You could get a prospectors licence and stake land. This consists of placing a number of wooden stakes in a more or less North-South grid, with you name date and licence number - which was then filed with the relevant government. That gave you the right to exclude others and explore the claims for minerals for 2 years, after which it could be renewed for an additional fee and you also had to file a geologists report on the work you did of a certain minimum value. You could keep doing this and if you had a potential mine, you could ask for a mining lease, and if granted take bulk samples or did a mine - usually by rock blasting in hard rock, but could also be with a grader if you mined aluminum bauxite.
about 1 in a 100 surface prospects end up in a mine. Mines can be immensely profitable.
A case in point.
Foran Mining was 12 cents 2 years ago. (https://foranmining.com/)Since then their copper/zinc/gold mine has drilled and proven 40 million tonnes of ore, and it looks as if it will end up between 60 and 80 million tons. This mine will last for 50-60 years and then it will be a worthless hole in the ground. Once in production in 3 years it will head for $40-50 per share from the current $2.50
So 100 holes = 1 mine. That can be 99 crooks and one good prospector, or even 100 good honest prospectors, of which one was lucky and 99 not so much.

The truth is mines are very profitable, and the trick is to find one. Modern mine discovery is driven by geophysics, since most of the rich surface showings have been found in hard rock areas. Over the next 2-3 years Foran will start producing Copper, Zinc and gold for the next ~~ 60 years and will reward investors well and will pay a cash dividend for ~~60 years...
I thought the unspoken truth was almost nobody actually pays the published private tuition rates so it’s usually actually cheaper or even free to go to a private university?
I am using also similar append only log like for every day, I usually try to write down the flows/random ideas/doing/done items there. I haven't brought in a structure overhead so everything is in a single file(couple thousand lines long) plain text file. My main idea is to keep everything sectioned by dates # dd-mm-YYYY # which is really great. I use sublime search and grep which works really great to lookup some older context and commands. Also going back to couple years old notes is really easy and valuable why some of the decisions were made.

Ask HN: Next steps for solo researcher arriving at Computational Theory of Mind?
There seems to be a simple way to think about and explain our minds that is consistent with experiential practices like meditation, observations of scientific method, and with mechanisms of evolution by natural selection.

A proposed Computational System design describes brain mechanisms and mind processes that explicitly and specifically impact the way we are - it is predictive and testable.

Initial reasoned observations appear to suggest consistency across phenomenological experience from volitional and circumstantial behaviours to often overlooked or dismissed idiosyncrasies (& points to explanation for a number of curious observations in scientific experiment).

Jolly good.

The problem is, I'm not in academia, and it's taking a while to write up. It has become much bigger than one person.

- Any tips/ thoughts on moving forwards?
- Positive
- Cautionary
- Concept validation?
- Connect with academia?
- Or relevant specialists?
- Independent release?
- Incremental?
- What would you want to know first?
- I'd prefer to remain anonymous initially as if it is shown to be formative it will upset some people
- Any thoughts on this?
- Would I be better asking somewhere else?
- If so where?

Many Thanks
The Ivy League factor plays a smaller role for CS than for other disciplines, due to less gatekeeping. Yale is about University of Minnesota level across multiple computer science ranking measures: https://drafty.cs.brown.edu/csopenrankings/
The argument as you've written it here is interesting and makes sense, but I have trouble getting to that conclusion from OPs comment.
It's not because miners are selling but because HOW they are selling. I recommend reading these two well-researched blog posts if you want to know the details: https://medium.com/@tacorevenge
You can make any firearm with a pistol grip that has the charging handle fixed to the bolt carrier full-auto by tying a string to a charging handle, wrapping it around the grip and then the trigger. You could very easily figure this out by just sitting down and looking at the gun. I can't think of a single instance where somebody has done this in a mass shooting. The fact of the matter is that full-auto guns are nowhere near as dangerous or "useful" for mass shootings as people think they are.

1000 rounds of Russian steel-case can be found with some effort for a price like that right now. With the Russian import ban, it's getting significantly harder to find. Federal minimum wage is $7.25 -- you might be able get 1000 rounds of 9mm if you find a deal and are willing to spend literally 100% of your paycheck on it. 1000 rounds of anything other than 9mm on federal minimum wage is a fluke that cannot be reliably repeated.
What are the strict "levels" of education? Why is obtaining a "Yale" level of education in and of itself a good thing, especially if we're not seeing society-wide positive change driven solely by individuals with that level of education?

The article's point is that historically, large-scale change is driven by groups rather than individuals. And the groups are not cabals of HYP grads, their compositions are wide and varied. So it's worth revisiting exactly what your comment assumes: that there is a strict hierarchy of individual capacity to drive change, and we need to segregate people according to said hierarchy in order to push society forward.

> Also what is wrong with giving people the choice to go to Yale?

99.999% of people don't have the choice to go to Yale. That would be true even if everyone in America were given "equal opportunity" from birth -- it's how scarcity works. The article answers this question for you in case you want to give it a second read.
The entire point of a ranked matchmaking-based game is to assess your skill, including implementing teamwork with four other players you've never seen before (for solo matchmaking). Server browsers are still a thing if you want to play some rotating game modes in games built for that sort of thing, but way more people want to play ranked CS:GO/FACEIT than CS:GO's custom servers.
Then I don't understand you.

As it should. I don't see the bias here. Are you saying that someone accepts claims without skepticism but not counterclaims? Who?

Education should be extremely well compensated. There's a host of reasons why it's a good idea to pay teachers the way doctors, lawyers and engineers are paid; but it all comes down to wanting the best and brightest working in education, because kids getting a shitty education decreases the country's ability to produce bright people, whereas kids getting a good education increases the country's overall intelligence.

Instead, those people work on ads. Idiocracy thought it'd be the cosmetics industry. Turns out…
First I think it's important to differentiate afford to live & afford to buy a home are different things.

Afford to live in the community is significantly more important but In general I think it is better if they can do both. However home's are assets & assets can have bubbles. I don't think the public should necessarily be paying wages such that someone can buy a home at any cost.
Exactly as I said, you think I do not understand a "smart" thing while you equate the worth food and crypto have for humans.

I don't know about Yale as a whole, but their current art dept website needs to be abolished for sure https://art.yale.edu , it appears no amount of funding will fix that.
That citation appears as irrelevant completely to the topic.

For that matter I would say that first major step to real FOSS was made in 1917. But it was too early and shouldn't that brutally enforced. Evolution is the only reasonable way to get anywhere in such complex systems.

Relevant fact: all hardware and software in USSR was Open Source. Any non-trivial product must be and was accompanied by full schematics. Software sources must be printed out, etc. By law.
It depends how much you run I guess. When you run a 100km per week you will eat a lot more to stay in homeostasis. When I go on a 5h run I can eat 200kcal of sugar an hour and I don’t gain any weight of it since I burn more calories than I take in.
I don't get the past tense used here. The creators of the biggest game in the market are using the same model right now, making the sever available for free, with people creating their own server modifications etc. There is a whole culture around it.
Interesting to me as I feel good infosec arch & engineers embody this. I've been struggling with how to educate large swaths of devs and ops people but the amount of knowledge is hard to distill, much of it definitely seems tacit as described.
It is rational to doubt governments as history shows.
Docker is a Linux thing (cgroups, overlay fs etc). On Mac and Windows it's emulated using Linux VMs and of course it thus runs like crap on older hardware. Just keep using Linux if you need Docker or Podman. There's also a proof of concept implementation of OCI on FreeBSD called runj, but it's incomplete due to the fact that OCI relies on Linuxisms.

It’s really unfortunate that Apple’s blown gaming so badly. I built a mid-high range gaming PC during the first year of the pandemic. The awful software that PC gamers have to put up with, from the basic stuff like NVidia’s driver software updates that they seem to want to be a social network to the ASUS labyrinth of random apps + UI just to update various bits of motherboard support where it’s not clear what you actually need and what’s actually cosmetic to the MSI daemons to support RGB lights on RAM modules that cause some games to crash at launch Just Because.

Windows gaming is a real shitshow. But that’s where the games are. You can avoid running most of this crap. But you wouldn’t have to put up with it in the first place on the Mac, because there’s an assumed baseline of non-scummy software and vendors would get called out and shunned.
The people crying the loudest about loan forgiveness are people who went to expensive colleges and obtained unmarketable degrees.

It is well known that many of these boutique colleges charge a lot of money because they will find people to pay the price. Simply lowering the interest rate on a loan will do nothing to stop this.

Requiring colleges to peg the total cost of an education to what a graduate can earn in that field in one year would be a good step towards reducing pointless degrees and laughably expensive tuition.
Presumably it triggered a flame-war detector. Just see how many comments were posted in the span of five minutes.
> They say that 3.78% is the individual income tax “burden” on personal income in California and that is just not true unless they are doing some sort of average across the population.

Why do so many people not understand how graduated income taxes work? And why wouldn’t you average the tax burden across the entire California population when calculating its “tax rate”, unless you are claiming the highest tax rate in California someone could actually pay rather than the rates paid on average?
I tend to disable all the fancy transparency and animation options (reduce motion) in the preferences & accessibility settings and that made Monterey visually more tolerable for me. Also, disabled the "show color in tab bar" option on both OSX and iOS devices...
There's a difference between literally being cellular automata (all life, including you and me) and being treated like a robot. I imagine aliens putting babies in boiling water and explaining the unpleasant noise as air escaping the lungs as an example.

Pretty much any vertebrate meets the definition of sentience (can feel pain). And we still torture them because we assume their internal experience of pain is not as rich as our own

If we accept that dogs are pretty smart and deserve protections similar to that of a person (eg if you beat your dog to death you're going to jail) then pigs are even more emotionally complex, and our other "food sources" are in similar territory.
Drop-In Replacement for Memcached
I think I've mentioned this before, but nothing about SPAs require that level of bloat. My personal site (https://chadnauseam.com/) uses React and SPA-type features like preloading internal pages so they load instantly when you click a link, but almost all of it works fine with js disabled. It used to get a perfect score on lighthouse too but it doesn't anymore :(
Why do so many people jump straight to “abolish” rather than reform? Seems like an extreme and impractical reaction.

I’d buy the authors argument if he was pushing for reform. It’s hard to take someone serious when they’re advocating for the destruction of some institution which they are actively part of.

Either be a part of the school and change from within or leave and preach for abolishment.
No, it absolutely is the fault of the developer, both for poor practice of the craft and for contributing to a toxic, exploitative labor environment by giving away his work for free.

Dang, I appreciate that moderation is used sparingly and your resources are always stretched, my appologies.

These articles slagging off web3 / crypto are appearing front page every 2-3 days at the moment and the comments section always becomes a shitshow. In a recent comment section for ~140 comments there were over 30 mentions of "ponzi"

WRT to my comment, yes agreed it breaks the rules and probably could have gone unspoken. But it is born of frustraition in seeing AWS being touted by people that haven't either bothered to understand the technology but want to fling mud.

This constant echo chamber HN is engaging in is making it less of a place for discussing intellectual ideas and more about pushing viewpoints.

Once again, appologies for lowering the bar.

There are economic hazards here. If the loan has interest below the market rate, then the students provide a vehicle for the transfer of money from the state to the (possibly for-profit) university.

Education is an investment in society only if it benefits the student. Looking at a default rate of around 45% for students who did not receive any degree at all and also for students who received some kind of certificate (cosmetology school), I would guess the students are not repaying because they gained no benefit from the "education".

There needs to be some mechanism to ensure that education loan subsidies benefit society and not just some institutions.

There are problems all around. E.g., state laws governing cosmetology certification that require hundreds of hours of training.
Their anti-cheat is carried by the boot time service, after which it becomes mediocre.
The CTO Journey with Mark Porter of MongoDB
This has been pretty understood for years, but in addition to 'good for you', I feel exercise does help one to lose weight. Anecdotally, I'm much, much less likely to eat irresponsibly if I've put in a lot of physical effort, vs say just lounging watching TV all day. Maybe it's like a sunk cost fallacy thing, but it sure helps motivate me.
Not sure why you would need to switch from Laravel to JS other than the fact that your devs knew JS more ? Honestly, early days decisions are more about finding product market fit, customers and sales. If you cannot do those, you will be dead anyway and tech stack won't matter. If you are changing tech stack, the only reason to be directly helping do more revenue and almost always, tech stack is not the issue in acquiring customers and sustaining a business in the early days.

There may be a handful (if any) of companies that failed due to tech stack selection. I highly doubt that though.
