Internet on day one was decentralised, and pretty much owned by none, no regulations.

Reference [3] is a letter from Schrödinger to Lorentz. I would also argue that Einstein had one of the deepest understandings of QM at the time. Everyone knew that the theory is weird, but with the EPR paper Einstein managed to pinpoint quite well where this weirdness shows up. It was also quite reasonable to assume that local hidden variables exist 40 years before a violation of Bell's inequality could be experimentally demonstrated.
It you like this don’t miss this page which has a lot of info but doesn’t seem to be linked from the Contents page:

It is linked from inside the page called “The Raid” and yes, possibly other places, but I’m linking it here because it is so easy to overlook with the sequential link scheme in the contents skipping over it.
Ok, you are another person in this chain who decided to just drop "more practical" and call it a day. Why bother.

It is especially funny in the thread about OCaml getting soon (2022 maybe) multicore support. Something this less practical ivory tower Haskell had before it was even cool.

I don’t understand what you find clickbaity about the title. For reference now when I’m reading the article the title is: “Scientists find perfectly preserved dinosaur embryo preparing to hatch like a bird”.

It is a clear and concise description of what the article is about.
Indeed. It's called the asshole precept, aka. "Do unto others", "Leave the world a better place", "Ahimsa", etc. Most cultures have a version of it, including agglomerating meta-traditions such as Baháʼí, which is testament to its popularity across time and space.
At scale, if you let everyone do this, suddenly you're maintaining 50 features that were contributed and are each used by...two teams. Ownership with contributions requires really strong culture. (this is the same reason that you don't always see a PR just approved to an open source library.)
These days you can also feed an image of a car to Google's image search, or to Yandex image search—the latter is more head-on about recognizing stuff in general, while Google still tends to suggest handwavy and useless descriptions like ‘sports utility vehicle’.
* There’s no explicit typing also, everything is polymorphic by default

* Compiler errors won’t help you much

* The tooling is lacking compared to cargo. It’s pretty much makefiles in a lisp language (better love parens)

* The ordering of your code matters, shadowing functions and structs is a a thing

* use A::* is pretty much the default, and transitive dependencies are imported at the top level, so be ready to be confused about the origin of a function or module or variable

I really wish more people would write OCaml so that we’d have a better ecosystem.

If you’re looking to get into a new language, you should seriously consider it as there are SO MANY low hanging fruits and opportunities to have an impact on the language.
Overlooked it too. The mouse wiggling during app loading is subtle.

>48GB ram

48GB VRAM? 48+ gigabytes of system ram is cheap, 48 gigabytes of ram on a GPU is still painfully expensive.
They must have different definitions for "at cost". Cloudflare charges the wholesale registry cost plus the ICANN fee. According to their blog post, Porkbun charges a price that would allow them to break even, which also includes regulatory taxes and payment processing fees. Since Cloudflare doesn't factor in these additional taxes and fees, they're losing a little bit of money for each domain they sell. I guess Cloudflare considers this a marketing expense to promote their CDN and other paid services.

Cloudflare is the least expensive registar, but they don't handle new domain registrations (only transfers and renewals), and they offer fewer TLDs than Porkbun. A combination of Cloudflare and Porkbun is the most cost-effective way to register domains in the long run, unless you're willing to deal with registrars that steeply discount only the first year.
Committing crimes is absolutely a use case.
I always tell people of how my mother was smuggling Soviet rubles stitched into her coat when she flew to NYC to immigrate to America and in the real world people are aghast at the unjust laws of the USSR while on the internet everyone is like "but the law".

Fuck the law. Law != Justice. Use some critical thinking skills for once.

You earned your wealth. It's not the government's.
Or maybe he was asking why engineers were paid so low compared to blue collar jobs. If our work is valued the same as bus drivers, then ok, he should switch careers. But if it's not valued the same, as HN frequently demonstrates with its discussions boasting about massive dev salaries, your colleague is rightly asking why engineers are paid so low compared to bus drivers.

Which camp are you in? Either way, maybe it's time for a tech union, clearly these workers at Kellogg and other industries are getting their demands met. Why aren't we?
> It's nice that a government program actually ever solved the problem it was meant to address and shut down

This site can be so exhausting. Government is not necessarily the enemy. Stop seeing everything through those glasses, please. Government is the organization we created to do things together. That's all it is. Stop implying that it's always the enemy and that everything the government does is bound to end in failure.

I believe plenty of "quantum phenomenon" are utilized in humans' biochemistry[0]. Whether the brain "calculates" things using a method that is particularly similar to the methods used in today's quantum computers is...unlikely. It probably is "quantum" in other ways though.

I guess I do have a tendency to not specify everything but to just leave some things as implied, that said I think the amount of dinosaur species vs. the amount of shark species is strongly implied when saying dinosaurs is not a species in context.

The land thing was not as strongly implied but again one might consider it when thinking yeah dinosaurs aren't a species, neither are sharks but the numbers don't align...hmm,hmm oh yeah and also the dinosaur species covered many more possible environments.
Lol. Absolutely yes.
That's a financial scheme.
For us, as intelligent species which have a civilisation, we have:
1. Ability to predict future
2. Language. This enables sharing group knowledge.
3. Abstract ideas. This has overlap to language.
4. Use of tools.

The use of tools is relevant to building a civilisation after developing intelligence. To give an example why it matters, reflect how many tools are relevant to us today or centuries ago. For example,
which a more efficient transport - an eagle gliding is more efficient than a human walking. But a human using a wheel (bicycle) is more efficient. The use of wheels, controlled fire, stakes, controlled microclimate through clothes derives from the use of tools.

Given the above list, we can see that sharks and dolphins do not use tools. They have some use of language and share knowledge. They do not use tools as they are not suited for it in the water. Humans have hands which enable them to operate on multiple surfaces.
Perhaps an octopus can developer higher intelligence and a civilisation? Note civilisation requires an intelligence, but it is a superset of intelligence.

Note that for any species developing intelligence and civilisation is a very energy consuming process. In a human the brain is a very power-hungry organ. Its purpose is to enable a better survival for the species it operates in. On an evolutionary scale, for humans and mammals, the brain structure we see today developed over multiple millennia - it was not a one-shot change, but going from a local minima to another local minima, if we are using optimisation language.

Going back to the octopus - perhaps it’s brain does the job done; now and then an evolutionary change might occur to develop an even more organised brain. If it works for the species, the change propagates. But if the change lowers the survival rate of the octopus due to the higher energy usage or complexity of operating a high brain - then the change will not propagate to next generation.

There is a last question, back to the dinosaurs - perhaps there was a civilisation at one of the multiple dinosaur die-offs - but most of its artefacts are wiped out? What evidence do we really have that there was not a civilisation before ours?

I basically always had that (except I was super hyped for a festival or so coming up) but if I actually had time I surely would get sick the first day at home.

Since I work on my own schedule I mostly get sick when I am really really into work for a few days to long.

> This should take no more than a few days to implement

I have many of these it "just takes a few days requests". There probably aren't many people that can actually implement these changes and the ones that do have other stuff on their tables. The company I work for isn't even that large, but I mostly have 2022 planned in advance.

Understand that you are annoyed, but you should just explain to your manager that the migration will not happen before mid 2022 because requirements aren't met yet.
Well, all civilizations are full of stories of men waging war on oceans, burning down forests to reclaim lands, breaking mountains and all the wageries of such things.

They continue the policy largely as a symbolic gesture now, but it's an important one that serves as a reminder of how their country grew to be wealthy.

Finland is one of the wealthiest countries today because of policies like this. The government has helped lift Finland's poorest out of poverty over the past 80 years, and made it feel like a country where raising a baby is essentially the same regardless of your income.

Making sure every baby's parents have the resources it needs to grow up healthy and well-educated is how you build a society where everyone wants to contribute to it improving.

What blockchains solve is the whole pesky problem of following the law and paying taxes, and being a normal member of society. No wonder that much of the early crypto literature was all about anarchy. To this day, the only useful thing that crypto has enabled (on a very small scale) international asset transfer that bypasses mainstream financial systems. As Diehl[1] wrote, decentralized trustless systems are only useful to criminals -- every other social system on the planet has "trust" embedded in it, because that is more efficient, socially constructive, and powerful. Oh, and crypto isn't actually decentralized or trustless either, as you still need to trust the developers that wrote the code, and the people that run your exchanges, because otherwise you will get robbed by them, as it happens on a regular basis in the crypto world.

“Ah-h, the worms,” the Duke said. “I must see one sometime.”

“You may see one today,” Kynes said. “Wherever there is spice, there are worms.”

“Always?” Halleck asked.

“Always.”

“Is there a relationship between worm and spice?” the Duke asked.

Kynes turned and Paul saw the pursed lips as the man spoke. “They defend spice sands. Each worm has a — territory. As to the spice … who knows? Worm specimens we’ve examined lead us to suspect complicated chemical interchanges within them. We find traces of hydrochloric acid in the ducts, more complicated acid forms elsewhere. I’ll give you my monograph on the subject.”

...

“Why hasn’t an effort been made to wipe them out?” Paul asked.

“Too expensive,” Kynes said. “Too much area to cover.”

Paul leaned back in his corner. His truthsense, awareness of tone shadings, told him that Kynes was lying and telling half-truths. And he thought: If there’s a relationship between spice and worms, killing the worms would destroy the spice.
Microtransactions have been something we could take advantage of since the dawn of custodial wallets - at least since PayPal came into existence in 1998. However, microtransactions aren't something humans actually like. It's something technocrats think people want, but when they get it, well - let's just say there's piles of carcasses of dead startups littering the field.

As Nick Szabo will attest, each transaction you make consciously carries with it a mental cost. It sucks. People would much rather a Netflix model to a pay-as-you-go model even if it ends up costing them more money in the long run. [1]

> We can now make a pay-to-use netflix, something we haven’t done yet.

[edit] I hate to break this to you, but you just described the Apple Music, TV and Movie stores, the first of which (music) has existed since the dawn of the iPod in 2001. Also the Amazon equivalents. And a pile of others.

TFA makes a solid argument about the limited problem space where blockchain tech is useful.

> Or is it just because it's complex and takes a lot of effort to understand?

Look, I see that you're deep into the ecosystem and you're excited about it. The core ideas of blockchain are not that complex. It's the human factors surrounding all of it that make it so fucking tiresome thread after thread.

To be honest, having Kevin J. Anderson as co-writer doesn't help. He wrote some of the worst Star Wars, now Legends, books out there. And given how bad some of those Legends books are that is something.

I loved those books back the day when I was younger, they just don't compare well against Timothy Zahn's books, the original Han Solo series and the short stories about small characters from the original movies.

What is sad so, is that the IMHO brilliant Dune encyclopedia was declared non-canon...

So the memory doesn't solve the context problem of e.g. "conversation context"? I.e. the storage isn't modified while the model is used? If I make an app that makes conversation using such a model model, then the storage isn't modified to insert knowledge about what the early parts of the conversation was about, and it's only bringing a database of fixed information into the conversation? (I have a friend who is just like that).

One has to add that proton is actually pretty painless too.

With wine a gold status could mean it only works on that one specific setup, not possible on Debian but just arch based systems when you compile that one specific wine version with these 3 patches. But the game would still crash if you alt+tab out one time to often.

On proton I had a surprisingly well experience so far. Most games that didn't just work for me were unity bullshit either way.

The problem with statist thinking like this is that it never ever takes into account what happens when the state fails.

This is a typical way of looking at the world from people who were lucky enough to grow up in a society that sort of works, unfortunately not the norm for a large fraction of the human race.

I heard somewhere--I think from claims in one of the lawsuits that was filed--that he might've been playing with the hammer. If he had the trigger already depressed, he might've fired it by releasing the hammer without technically pulling the trigger (because it was already pulled). Or at least that's one theory. We will have to see what goes on in court and hear what they say after examining the actual gun.

I'm surprised he didn't offer to settle before this was even filed. From everything I've heard from lawyers discussing this, there's almost no question that he's civilly liable for this.
