What good is it to think by oneself if it isn't to arrive to views that wouldn't be given to you by society?

If you are right and society is wrong, then you stand a chance to correct an enormous mistake. If you are wrong and society is right, it is by people like you who argue against common tenets that they become hard to argue against.

It's not worth it on a personal level, but very few things short of running for a position are worth it politically on a personal level, it is only on a societal level that they make sense.
The UK Type-G plug design is very well thought out. The ground pin is first to make/last to break and it opens a cover on the live terminals when inserted to prevent accidental contact to live components. The power pins are recessed so you can’t accidentally (or intentionally) make contact with life parts of the plug is only partially inserted. The plugs also have internal fuses (although I’m not sure if this is always the case).

The only negative is the plug is physically larger than plugs used in other countries. This makes them take up more space in a bag/backpack. And it’s harder to cram lots of sockets into a small space like a power strip.

Thanks for sharing this. I too had a difficult childhood (doesn't everyone?) and I have struggled with depression and debilitating anxiety.

12 years ago I started meditation, and after 10 years of seemingly nothing happening I began to get it. It's been 2 years and the depression/anxiety are just like shadows that are still there but do not affect me.

I am very curious about psychedelics, but afraid to ruin all the work I put in ... But what if it helps me even more! :)

Not sure what to do, but thanks again for posting your experience. It helps. Peace and Love to you brother.

PS: I meditate 2 to 3 hours a day. It took me 5 years just to get a regular habit, then 5 more to get to an hour. After that things seem to go quickly.

No one knows what technology will be created that will have an impact on the severity and costs of climate change.

Much better to make progress as fast as possible with research and scientific progress than diverting time and resources to endeavours that will only marginally slow down the pending catastrophe and have the side effect of slowing progress toward solutions that actually solve the underlying problem (dependence on fossil fuels).

The only way out is by increasing our knowledge so we can actually solve the problem. The other way is parochialism and staticity.

This is typical of Apple to force a technology change. That said, eSIM technology is ready and eSIM swapping is quite easy, and could become easier with some interface improvements. The issues with eSIM re-issuance are the biggest hurdle, but those fall on the carriers.
Lots of snarky comments in this thread are missing the point: a lot of academics get tunnel vision.

If you've spent 10 years studying ion transporters in mushrooms, it can feel like you are way over specialized and that getting a job outside of your narrow expertise in academia is impossible. It is not. A trained scientific mind is a valuable commodity in the job marketplace, regardless of your speciality.

To be fair, as an old player of PoP back in the day, I still think the jump controls were pretty shitty in that particular game.

I have an itoya oasis notebook that I adore. Paper feels lux and has the right amount of tooth and it magically lays flat despite having a cloth binding. Got it at that Japanese paper/pen shop on Santana Row in san jose.

also have a kyokuto side-bound wire notebook that has held up like a champ. The wire doesn't get mangled from jamming it into my backpack like some POS mead notebook would. Got it at the japanese paper store in japantown sf

Still I think from now on I'm going to stick with the magic lay-flat cloth bound.

one curious statement from the article:

> I share your concerns but at the same time I think, why would we even need a SIM?

In the Before Times: handy for travel. Having a (e)SIM for your personal number (but perhaps disable data), and when you arrive at your destination just pop in a new physical SIM for local data (and calling).

> We don't have SIMs for ADSL or Fiber internet?

I wish we did. At least for ADSL you can use PPPoE to login into a network with whatever hardware you wish to use instead of the telco's often janky, underpowered stuff. With fibre (GPON) they often lock in the MAC of the optic, so good luck using something else besides whatever is provided. If you're lucky you can remove the SFP module and put it into whatever you want.

This may not be useful for 99% of the population, but given this is HN we're on, I think a lot of folks can appreciate being 'hardware agnostic'.

Otherwise we're back to the 1960s when only Officially Approved™ equipment can be connected:

I think there's a difference in how you present the information. So returning things in a way such that it is not obvious you're looking at mere search results should perhaps be viewed as something requiring a bit of responsibility (-> don't do it if you can't take responsibility), and dangerous/libelous/etc. information perhaps should be reported if it appears as the though the site returning it is providing editorialized content and not just aggregated search results.

On the other hand, the status quo is kinda funny: https://i.imgur.com/ux42v8p.png

There's been a significant discussion and literature concerning "decoupling" and how much, if any, economic growth can occur either without corresponding increases in energy consumption or is accounted for by offshoring activities to other countries in which greater energy consumption occurs.

Even with clean energy, the quantity of energy required (and hence: capital, distribution, storage, and the like) matters. With "dirty" energy (I'm assuming you're referring to net-carbon-emissions-positive sources --- coal, petroleum, and natural gas), reductions in one country which are offset by increases elsewhere would be misleading.

The results of this study suggest that offshored energy consumption plays a smaller role than I'd understood. Whether that's accurate or represents questionable methodology isn't entirely clear, but it's new information to me. (Submitter.)

I think the missing piece is the harm being done to others constantly by bad actors (not just people, also institutions, should have clarified that in my first comment). By doing harm to those bad actors, you’ve potentially mitigated harm to others.

Here’s an extreme example, just to take this to its logical conclusion: you’re in nazi Germany, you decide to join the Nazi party and sabotage it in many small ways, generally just gumming up the works. You lie and steal from the party to do it. Is that an unethical thing to do?

I’m not saying that joining a bad company and committing time theft is anywhere near as clear-cut, I’m just curious if you think it’s ever okay to break the golden rule.

I think the parent was referring to the same noise that you are, compute precision, not transmission, and was suggesting that perhaps it won’t easily stay within bounds due to the fact that some kinds of repeated calculations lose more precision at every step.

Maybe it’s application dependent, maybe NNs or other matrix-heavy domains can tolerate low precision much more easily than scientific simulations. It certainly wouldn’t surprise me if these “LightOPS” processors work well in a narrow range of applications, and won’t improve or speed up just anything that needs a matrix multiply.
I would disagree with your premise. LastPass get hacked you hear all about it (this thread being a perfect example). You also then get group minds chasing solutions and spotting issues.

If you get hacked, you wont even know, and when you try to figure out how your genius security solution was foiled, you are on your own there too.

The only way your data is safer is in your mind, which is the first mistake of security; you dont get hacked because you knew about the weakness, you get hacked because you didn't.

PM's are, in most cases, a lot more advantageous for many reasons. But you can't really compare the solo solution at all, imo.
Newest iPhones already come without SIM cards. They use ESIM modules. My phone has a sim slot that is empty. That space can be utilized to put in another useful chip, sensor or shrink the device dimensions.

Edit: you can still enroll in a different carrier when traveling with an ESIM because they’re often dual ESIM modules and the way to do it through GUI is trivial.

The reason for sticking to standard is when inevitably someone will try to compile it with another compiler. It’s far easier just to stick to the spec instead of fixing non standard code.

Can you give any examples of where two different CPUs have different or non IEEE compliant behavior (disregarding things like actual bugs or atypical settings)?
Let’s say for regular x64 code and SSE FP.

I’m surprised you say it’s common as I haven’t yet bumped into the problem and I have a large suite of complex FP tests (engineering calculations) that have reproduced to the last digit over 15 years and dozens of different test machines of all flavors.

Results calculated 2004 on P4’s still work out to the same results after millions of calculations on every cpu since then and dozens of versions of the software.

Hey folks, I've been working on this for a couple of months. It's a tool and service that lets you send push notifications to your (Android) phone via simple PUT/POST requests, like so:

It's open source and easily self-hostable. It has tons of features (though I'm still working on many), and there's also an Android app.

I'd love some feedback, and I'd love it even more if you started using it. I'm doing this for funsies, but I'm also running it as a real service/project, with uptime monitoring and all that.

>> The purpose of DRM is to give content providers leverage against creators of playback devices.

I think it's noteworthy that game consoles do this in the opposite direction: give creators of playback devices leverage over content providers. This was basically why console DRM evolved in the first place (in the early forms of the 10NES lockout chip and the Atari 7800 signature scheme). Accordingly, console DRM schemes are typically stronger against unauthorized publishing of novel works than they are against unauthorized copying of already-published works (the latter being encrypted and signed in the expected way, thus only requiring subversion of a weaker "authentic disc" check). Apart from norms differing by industry, I would guess that the key to the directionality is which side thinks they can control access to a greater number of customers.

Agree. The accusation is that microsoft is dropping its competitors' mail despite their reputation. If the reputation is there, there's no other motive than to force consumers to use microshit.

> We don't have SIMs for ADSL or Fiber internet?

Fiber is actually quite complex. Most residential fiber going in today is GPON, and those systems are authenticated by the ONT, which is somewhat analogous to a hardwired SIM. Theoretically, you could reverse engineer the ONT and create your own, but you can expect to get your account closed if they catch you.

Then you have companies like AT&T who also force you to use their godawful routers and actively work to close off methods that allow using your own router.

And if you have metro-E, chances are the ISP provides their own media converter. Doesn't matter that they charge a $12k install fee and $1200/mo (for 500/500 - actual Comcast bill in Nashville, TN), they still won't hand you an SFP+ module.
> I’m not gonna lie, I kind of like that idea. In the OSM world you just have to have faith that your edits are helping people. There is basically no feedback loop.

> the device makes no assurances that the information relayed will be sanitized

The device (or rather the service behind it) removed the critical safety warnings and context from the content, directly encouraged the child to engage in dangerous activity and then added a timer to encourage the child to engage in that activity with as little consideration of the consequences as possible. As a society we are well aware that 10 year old minds have not developed the capacity to reliably consider and understand the consequences of their actions; this is why we limit their legal ability to make choices for themselves.

I think they just intend to duplicate everything, but I'm not sure.
One of the biggest issues with 'improved' systems is that even when they are actually a whole lot better, it makes it nearly impossible to reason about the system or the state of the system using filesystem primitives or other first principles.

Take journals in systemd for example, they are better than plaintext log files in some cases, but now you are stuck with a format that needs to be interpreted and parsed before it is useful.

That doesn't mean improvements shouldn't be done, but every step that is a big change often also makes it impossible to do some basic things that used to be possible for decades. This is similar to analog radio (i.e. only requiring a diode, tunable capacitor and a coil to receive audio! - no power supply needed!) vs. DAB. DAB has a lot of improvements over the base feature, as well as a whole lot of new features. But it is no longer possible to simply receive the radio waves and get audio.

In a way you lose simplicity to gain sophistication. Sometimes we get sophisticated simplicity where a complex problem was solved in a very neat and elegant way that can be reasoned about with ease, but most times it isn't the case and that makes me (and a whole lot of other people it seems) wonder how we can get the improvement without losing the simplicity.

For the very simple "the filesystem is the database" concept, this might actually be possible, all we really get is a well-known structure and versioning with symlinks, similar to the alternatives system used in Debian. But then we get /Programs which is capitalised which looks nice but mixed capitalisation seems too much of a "they are doing it, thus so are we" thing, while on a filesystem level there isn't any gain. Same with spaces in names or dashes. For visual representation that is nice, but everything else it sucks.

I would take out the capitalisation and add some sort of unionfs/aufs/overlayfs hooking (symlink into a bundled filesystem would be one way) so from the system's perspective it's still a single filesystem tree but you add the option to get all those newfangled distribution methods in there as well. The problem we still haven't solved is versioning, but since it is arbitrary at this point /programs (or just call it /apps) could just contain <shortname>/<versionstring> for the application name and then version of the application. If you then dump in a version that comes from a docker image, flatpak, some weird weine-dxvk-steam construction or something else you symlink it in as a <versionstring> and then it's no longer the problem of the distro.

There is still the issue of partitioning off parts of the system you don't want to be touched or want to have safe; a RO-snapshot plus user-overrides could work, but you might end up with a huge RO-snapshot that needs to be entirely replaced, and then a billion override mounts on top of that...

As simple as Gobolinux presents it, this only seems to be useful for a single distro with a single distribution point, which is no longer where we are. Even FreeBSD is past that and that's not even Linux.
Yeah, thinking about it I would agree with you. I was thinking that it being copyable so easily would be disqualifying, but I wouldn’t say the same about Clone in Rust and it’s not really about explicitness, anyway. Thanks.
