As an "SV outsider" geographically (but a tech founder at heart) being part the Pioneer program and a part of the founder community is incredible. As a Pioneer you become part of an alumni community that enables you to travel to a ton of cities[1] and have the chance to meet up with other incredible founders.

The tournament and program are also great, but the founder community is what makes it incredible.

I disagree, I believe that we can still have encryption and catch criminals based on encrypted communications.
I've already ran across 4 (albeit drained) BTC addresses in the last 4 hours.

Sooo... what's 4 astronomicals?
The distinction is whatever we decide it should be. Maybe they should be covered by the same category.

The point is that once these existed, laws should have kept up.
Didn't got that since I also said it before ? :p

Ironic to have an article about the biggest open source information site in the world hidden behind a paywall.
On the contrary, it will be better than ever before.
Because I know how state security works.
Really liked this article. Mechanical-sympathy driven development.
No, I'm not saying it's "malevolent." I do think assuming benevolence is extremely wishful, however. Do read the article I linked for more details, but to summarize; the concept-space for nonhuman minds is much, much larger than that of human minds. Any nonhuman intelligence we create is therefore likely going to accomplish whatever directive we give it in ways we cannot imagine. There are many orders of magnitude more ways to do things in ways we do not want than in ways we do (because we have many unstated assumptions when communicating to each other and very fuzzy ways of specifying what we want - hence the need for programming languages rather than natural languages in application development).

Some interesting examples; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRPiprOaC3Hs...

One notable case from that file: 'A researcher wanted to limit the replication rate of a digital organism. He programmed the system to pause after each mutation, measure the mutant's replication rate in an isolated test environment, and delete the mutant if it replicated faster than its parent. However, the organisms evolved to recognize when they were in the test environment and "play dead" so they would not be eliminated and instead be kept in the population where they could continue to replicate outside the test environment. Once he discovered this, the researcher then randomized the inputs of the test environment so that it couldn't be easily detected, but the organisms evolved a new strategy, to probabilistically perform tasks that would accelerate their replication, thus slipping through the test environment some percentage of the time and continuing to accelerate their replication thereafter.'

An AI does not need to be malevolent - it merely has to be powerful and poorly aimed. The more powerful it is, the smaller the margin for error in the aiming. And with an "infinitely powerful" AI, we basically have to perfectly solve morality or else it will optimize for a future we do not want.

>If you follow the same 100 year trajectory in other countries, then you will see an uptick in car ownership for sure, and infrastructure adapts to support this (highways/freeways/motorways), but it's not nearly as drastic as it is stateside.

As the Wikipedia article you cited elsewhere discusses, streetcar systems outside the US went out of business at the same time as those in the US for the same reasons.
Rebranding it an anti-zombie vaccine would be metal.
Lol, you got me there for a second.
It's real plank-in-your-own-eye stuff that all the crypto-huggers will dismiss the BLS analysis so readily at the line about banks acting as a risk buffer. Yes, to be sure! Banks present risks, massive risks, risks which should have been and still should be much better managed, at both bank and government levels — but boy howdy, are you in for a treat, you should see what happened to a financial system in the bad old days, when there were banks but no deposit insurance, and there would sometimes be a run on the banks, and they lose all their customers' cash, and the shock waves ripple through the whole economy.

Now let's do the exact same thing in the crypto-verse, except with even dodgier loans, even more pathetic capital buffers, and, by the way, rampant fraud and bank robberies. It is only by the grace of obscurity and irrelevance to anything that matters that crypto-finance as a whole doesn't suffer widespread derision and fear a hundred times worse than the banking crisis.
I think color films in general are a miracle of modern chemistry. Agfa and Fuji deserve credit as the other major companies which produced high-quality color films, alongside Kodak and Polaroid.

Unfortunately, these companies had to set up supply chains for manufacture of the necessary chemicals, and those supply chains run the risk of evaporating as the demand for film declines. Polaroid already fell to this... you can't buy Polaroid film any more, and it can't be manufactured, because the required chemicals are simply not available. The production line has been purchased and restarted but it's not the same film.
> using a browser extension only serves to create an unreliable solution for a few using the extension. Cheaper sure but it's also doing a whole lot less.

This is rather pessimistic thinking. The same money that goes into buying up domains could go into lobbying browsers to add this functionality be default.

> bulk of the problem space is in guaranteeing active hosting in a way viewable to viewers of the age will be available for many years not addressing the content.

You're moving the goal posts. I am not saying "IPFS means we don't need the internet archive". We absolute do need the internet archive. Content addressing helps by making archiving transparent, so the archival copy is not worse than the original.

Fundamentally, consumers producers or archivists may be the party most interested in the continued existence of some information at different moments in the lifespan of that information. Location-based addressing forces the producers to shoulder the burden of hosting, but content-based addressing allows the work to be distributed among those 3 however we see fit. Of course the burdened must still be barred! That doesn't mean the flexibility isn't extremely useful.

> On top of hosting and addressing the Internet Archive offers the ability to view old content on modern browsers even if modern browsers have 0 support for such content anymore (or if browsers ever had support at all even). Forward compatibility isn't something solved by a protocol.

Yeah that's great too, and again not something I am arguing is not good, or not necessary.
IIRC they were all written on PDP and cross-compiled to Z80/8080 and later the 8086. I heard Billy wrote his BASIC interpreter dialed into a PDP from a motel room in Arizona while living off $100K his famous dad gave him to “get lost” (if the motel was owned by Burt Rutan, that would be too funny.) Later Sun workstations were used to launch Macs, Amigas and AtariST while a traitor was leaving DEC/PDP/VAX to setup shop at MS and create NT which destroyed the tech economy until it was rebuilt by a child who found Andy Tanenbaum’s book and some free sourcecode from a communist at MIT. The free tech allowed the dot com bubble and when that blew and the elders were generally forced into retirement, Amazon saw an opportunity to do the heavy lifting for the poor-wage children left behind, leaving the retired elders to make JavaScript based PDP emulators. It should all be unfsck’d by 2026 tho (that’s when the first wave of formally trained Computer Scientists after the nuclear winter ended will hit 20 years and, with their grey beards and pear shapes, be mentoring several generations behind them…same as it ever was.)
I started using OCaml in 2017, and had a rough start. But since then Dune (https://dune.build/) and the now-excellent LSP implementation have resolved the biggest issues I had. I haven't had such a pleasant development environment since Turbo Pascal! (To be fair, IntelliJ was also pretty good other than the shortcomings of Java.)
If I understand your critique, it's this: "How dare you critique their use of Ra? You have no standing! You have no right!" Which is basically an ad hominem attack that doesn't address any of the substance of my complaint.

As it turns out, I generally agree with you that creators should be given the space and grace needed to create. I rarely if ever call creators out like this, as you will see from my history. But in this case, the misappropriation is so obvious and sour, and there are people I know who would be negatively impacted if this slant on Ra ever became more mainstream in Western culture, that I could not remain silent.

Hopefully, this discourse on Ra remains an isolated bonkers interpretation that HN can chuckle over every few years when it gets posted, and you're right that we'll never reach a situation where it ever gets confused with an authentic and respectful interpretation of Ra as attested through Egyptian religion, architecture, writing, and history. Still, it would have been better if the author had given their fanciful flight a more appropriate name.

For lots of people, making it to 120ish would let them compare the two turn of the century celebrations, which would be neat. Weird that we're 20% of the way there already.

120 at mid century would seem to give anyone under, like, 40 now quite a bit of runway. Probably a good time to start living a little healthier...
I take offense at your implication that GPT3 generates poor quality articles.
Those MINIX cores have been a subject of scrutiny for many years, just not by the people who you'd encounter in your day-to-day. There are definitely people who care, but they've basically started waving the white flag at this point. Pretty much every modern CPU (as well as the software running on it) has some degree of government oversight/intervention, trying to circumvent it is a hobbyist effort, and an often unsuccessful one at that.
You actually don't know my residential environment. I don't live in an apartment with 50 networks, but I can see ~30 SSID's right now. On a semi-regular basis I benefit from going into my router config to choose the channel with the least congestion. For me, that's not worth spending $$ to upgrade when speed & latency are not otherwise an issue. I don't begrudge people who decide to upgrade to get that incremental boost, but I don't think it should be forced on them. Because I'm not claiming there are no benefits to upgrading. I'm saying that people who have lived with their current WiFi setup-- hiccups & all-- for years shouldn't be required to pay more if they're satisfied with their own status quo.
And that is the trouble with the headline. If watching at 3x speed gets you to actually trying something faster, that is clearly the way to go.
Ahah! Exactly, you have figured what I would have requested to specify in this bill!
In an older age, UX would have been industrial design which I can certainly appreciate. Historically there's more of a separation of industrial design and how a thing operates, the variation in the exterior of cars doesn't dictate the drivetrain or controls. With software there tends to be more overlap. How things are grouped, displayed/hidden is explicitly affecting the displays and controls.

We do need good UX, usability, ergonomics, etc. It can't be left to engineers who will merely attach a display/control to every element of the data model with 1:1 mappings. I agree that UX doesn't seem to be its own thing but it's hard to separate, with Conway's law and all.

The best we can do is be frank with who it serves and/or why. I don't think people really want to know this level of truth on a daily basis though.
Came to comments to share this, thanks.

Those are some great points, no_circuit. We have multiple storage pricing plans, however, none of them give out $'s to users, because that would be counterproductive for the team at this point.

There are parts of the system like the multi-device sync, encryption, cross-platform support, etc. that would need to be factored in. However, reducing $/TB is an area that we plan to explore when all other systems are stable and our unit-economics is net positive.

Didn't the pandemic start in the very beginning of 2020? It seems a little too coincidental that the illegal border crossings would pick up dramatically as soon as an administration with wildly differing, near-opposite language on the subject came into office.

Walls are important, otherwise we wouldn't all shut or lock our doors at night. But, sometimes, don't you think it's the symbolism that helps even more?
I completely disagree that F# is for C# developers. For one, C# developers are usually fine sticking with C# and its massive ecosystem. F# and .NET more seamlessly run everywhere than Ocaml, which last time I tried is a lot of trouble on Windows. F# has had multicore support from the beginning and hasn’t needed a multi-year development process to get there.

I’d like to learn Ocaml (more than just the parts I’ve learned from F# and SML), but F# is by no means a simplistic language in terms of what you can accomplish. It’s easily one of the best designed and most pragmatic languages out there. From the syntax I have seen, F# is cleaner than Ocaml.

> F# is an ML dialect, like OCaml

That’s kind of splitting hairs. The object system is different for obvious reasons. F# clearly started as a port of a subset of Ocaml to .NET and was even valid Ocaml code for some time in the early days. That’s exactly a dialect.
OP does not consider substantial effort of widespread geo-engineering that will take place to scrub CO2 and Methane from the atmosphere. Why be so pessimistic, when we are at the cusp of finally starting to address these real issues?

There are beginning carbon tax efforts by legislators and governments that will greatly incentivise further developments in reducing ecological harm along with emerging eagerness by big corporations to become zero footprint. This is not only by word and regulation but by actual doing. There's a monumental change happening right now.
Not afaik, people have just been sending screenshots of their QR codes to each others, and the people "validating" just have to "scan and see Valid".
> systems which allow for governments to be conditionally able to decrypt messages

Make a backdoor for the government and all organized crime will also have a backdoor and it'll turn any encryption into a security-by-obscurity model. It would be just like those TSA locks which now anyone can open because all the universal keys are public. And such powers will be abused by the government & police as well. It's inevitable, that's very clear from what already happens with current surveillance laws.

Backdoor means broken encryption, period.

All my money as a kid (and that's over 30 years back in Communist-then Bulgaria) was coming from recycling paper and bottles (we didn't have cans). It was more work than it is now as you had to wash the bottles very well. Back then, it was the norm for kids to do it and especially so with paper. I can imagine today's kids doing so much work for little money. But I've though my kids and we don't throw a single recyclable into the trash! It's inconvenient to recycle as you need to have room, and we have to separate paper, plastic, glass, etc. from other trash, but we do it. I recently switched to Recycle From Home [0], which is now in Orange County, California.

Anti-aging is an economics problem more than a medical one. If you radically extend lifetimes, those who have been alive the longest have had the most time accumulate capital. There's very little chance for someone 200-300 years younger to have any way to match the economic means of their seniors, resulting in a highly destabilizing permanent economic hierarchy.

If you think gen z are pissed at boomers, slip another 200 years of differential in and things start to look really bad.
Killing senescent cells is one thing.

Making sure they actually get replaced with new cells instead of scar tissue is another.

Until that’s resolved, killing the wrong kinds of senescent cells will kill you much faster than leaving them alone, so even highly targeted killing of senescent cells can’t “rejuvenate” all your organs.

You'd need to make some damn large prints to see the grain in a Tri-X 4x5. My general feeling is that 8x10 where you see grain in a 35mm negative, so 32x40 is where you'd see grain in a 4x5 negative. "Where you see grain" is a bit subjective, of course.

You could use eio with an event loop per domain and the domain manager to distribute work to other domains. The restriction at the moment is that the tasks you spin off to other domains can't do asynchronous io.

There is work on-going at the moment to bridge or even unify eio (concurrency via effects) and domainslib (nested parallelism via domains and effects) but it's a few months out.

Your job isn't just technical though, I'm guessing. There's also a component of teamwork, collaboration, coordination, handovers, coaching etc, all of which I've found are much easier to do in-person than over a video call.

For me what works is 1-2 days per week in the office to get all the admin done, and the rest at home getting real work done.
Brilliant. 2 litres developer per 400ft of material seems a bit little though, no?

Black is an interesting example because you want two different commands in your pre-commit versus CI/CD, at least in my estimation.

In pre-commit you want to run Black in full formatter mode on the staged files. (VS Code's "Format After Save" does most of the work already, but every now and then it slips on something.) In CI/CD you want the check that formatting occurred and block it as a failed test. Those are different commands.

For what it is worth, I was evaluating lint-staged [1] and husky [2] for my pre-commit hooks.

I never understood the justification though, beyond "it's pretty". When I see '<=' in a conditional, I see one symbol and attach its meaning. I've never needed to 'encode' that either.
The article runs in a lot of circles, but doesn't really have any evidence that I saw on a skim that the super draconian policy isn't working. % of prison population isn't really proof of anything. The racial profiling is almost certainly economic based. The homophobic thing is almost certainly just overt homophobia. The censorship stuff is tangential. The studies don't seem to be specific to Singapore which is tough to jive with the previously stated statistics that drug stats were on the decline. Those are probably cherry picked stats by the government. But what would have been better than most of this article is just more drug stats on the actual outcomes. Or a title that was more to the point of just not liking the singapore drug policy. Which, yeah, sounds extreme. It doesn't need to be not working to oppose it.
Who could have thought building a robust wall could be this hard? It was a silly project.

If the US govt. really wanted to tackle illegal immigration they would give massive fines for hiring illegal immigrants and offer rewards to individuals for submitting any information resulting in fines. A wall is a massive waste of resources and a really expensive project considering the length of it. Plus a maintenance nightmare. It also doesn't offer a potential revenue stream like fines do.
> I will note, with this over reliance on dual key escrow. If a foreign government were to steal that key through espionage without China's knowledge, it would let say the US government to backdoor China's own government communications.

Why would a government use key escrow for its own internal encryption (for actual important communications, as opposed to "retail" business functions like running garbage pickup operations)?
I saw your site yesterday and forgot to comment on it then - I wanted to say thanks for the great articles and interesting animations.
Our southern border is over 2,000 miles long. I doubt that the relatively few miles of wall that were built made much of a difference.
i think this is mostly because of the maturity/popularity of the tooling, not the underlying aspect of centralization. if there was a just as slick, widespread and useful decentralized alternative, i would be on that instead.
That's not my point at all. That's why I said not for a normal game! I just wanted to point out that if you're willing to go anywhere near this low-detail then an N64 can trivially beat the resolution. It's not stuck that low.

As far as normal games, plenty went over 320x240, mostly using medium resolutions rather than the max.
Hard to know what will be of interest for future historians. Some things in which we place great value can be considered irrelevant, while some of our junk can become historical gold.
