Agreed, but the elephant in the room is that Mandalorian is so popular with millennials + similar age groups because of the massive amounts of fan service in the show. It's not particularly fantastic writing or plot development.

I would not want to have a HL3 that relied on "DAE Glados? DAE Team Fortress Hats?", and I really, really respect Valve for not doing that.
Is that really a concern? Surely the HN audience knows how to use the Find option in their browser.

But if it makes you feel better, I'm sure someone will whip up a regex or perl oneliner to get to the row data and then sort/aggregate it in 20 different ways, or color a heatmap, or in any style of chart you prefer.
Well, the OSDev Wiki’s discussion of RAM detection on x86[1] still mentions the issue of bus capacitance in its discussion of memory probing (while exhorting you not to attempt memory probing). The text is likely old, but probably not C64 old. Pentium-era old maybe?

Thank you, that oncor website seems to be available to me. I was browsing around some news article that seemed to echo the same sentiment, tried to access the source data myself and couldn't, so made an assumption. That was an error on my part and I'm sorry for that. Thank you for providing a better source that seems accessible worldwide.
I found OpenSCAD to be very friendly for parametric designs, but after a while I switched to the SolidPython wrapper as it was more flexible.

However, I'm hunting for a better way to create 3d models via code (Blender Python?) because 'extrude_along_path'->SolidPython->OpenSCAD->stl export simply could not handle my model.

Wait, isn't that exactly how they sell the vax?
You are being blind. Those campaigns were fig leafs from the outset and if you are interesting in real action on shutting down single use plastic economy, you should know better than to wag your finger at those who complain about how ridiculous focus on carrier bags and tooth picks has been.
Those campaigns only antagonise some consumers against the general concept, and gave others a false sense of inclusion and progress. They could never have achieved any practical impact on the single use plastic economy and this is why they got singled out for attention. Since the 90s a great social fuss has been raised over whether feather-light plastic carrier bags are used to help carry a shopping load (and eventually bin the remains). While since then, essentially everyone has rather been forced to continue to buy products which include ever increasing amounts of plastic packaging, amounts which utterly dwarf a couple of bags or straws or toothpicks or whatever the latest prescribed moral obsession is supposed to be. Ever increasingly, small portions of food are sold in thick plastic packets, every individual snack/bar is contained in plastic, and every pack of bars in another layer. It is even increasingly rare and difficult to source tea bags, tissues, and surprising products like toothpaste without plastics manufactured into them. The dissolution of the un-compostable and practically un-recyclable plastics economy, can not wait until everyone agrees to dutifully avoid the latest convenience item where 'effort' is systematically focused. Every little counts -> LITTLE. And that is what the wider industry counts on when it comes to these campaigns. They are nonsense obsessions promoted to waste attention.

There is a lot of circular reasoning involved in quantum information and thermodynamics.

It's all totally, perfectly self consistent, but it does not derive from first principles like set theory or mathematical logic do. Physics is an experimental science; they are not required to state their axioms. Oftentimes they do (QFT for example), but the most glaring case where they don't is anything involving information.

The whole postulate that information is physical is something that was stumbled upon, and then turned out to explain a whole bunch of other weird things like heat and entropy, and some of those explanations in turn implied that information is physical.

I suspect that our current efforts to build cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are a lot like the efforts to build perpetual motion machines in the 1700s. Our current understanding of things isn't wrong, but there is some undiscovered general principle that we keep butting up against, so we'll keep trying to build these things until we figure out why nature keeps blocking us. That discovery -- rather than a computationally-useful device -- will be the most important result of all the quantum computing research going on right now.
You're right, a bacteria would sense and follow chemical gradients and light. And that would be a primitive form of consciousness.

A piece of material is not conscious because it doesn't need to. You see, bacterias are self replicators, humans too. And self replication is resource intensive, while resources are limited. So life becomes a competition. That is why agents need to become more attuned to their state and possible actions and outcomes.

Is that good enough to be called consciousness? Taking sensory inputs, representing your state, taking actions, observing effect, learning from it. Your goal - to exist, to make copies of yourself. If you're not aware of essential information, or don't understand your situation, you die. If you live, it's because you are aware.
I wonder if Ben Heck's "Controller Monitor" [1] would help. It's a dedicated low-level (microcontroller-driven) high-speed input sampling/logging platform, with support for reading a light sensor which I believe is used to sense on-screen changes.

It has the advantage of using game console joypads as inputs, and hacking them to read the buttons etc directly, i.e. without relying on USB. I imagine a specialized version that just sampled a mouse button would be more useful in the context of a computer running desktop apps.

Apologies if I completely misunderstood the intent of this post.

As far as we know, quarks are not composite particles. They are fundamental (and point-like). Same as electrons, photons, etc.
If you start with material mechanisms, you'll never get subjective experience (SE) as a conclusion.

Start instead with SE, and then any sort of material universe can be the contents of it.
>The oldest supported iPhone is the second generation of 64 bit processor. There were almost certainly problems with the first generation (of anything)

The iPhone with the oldest version of a 64 bit processor (the A7 used in the 2013 iPhone 5s) fell out of support after six years because it no longer had enough RAM for the new version of the OS.
Weird, the measurement scale they use does not jive with the scale of the knobs being tweaked. For example, `sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice_us` is adjusted by the project's `bandwidth_size` knob. The default is 5000 us, or 5 ms. But the knob they mention it being '5 us'. Same goes for scheduling latency-- its not `us`, its `ms`.

Ask HN: Books/case studies on practical zero-trust?
Hi all, I am trying to learn more about zero-trust security.

I've read Gilman's Zero Trust Networks: Building Secure Systems in Untrusted Networks and I've worked a bit with SPIFFE SPIRE in a corporate setting, but I am looking for something a bit more concrete and comprehensive.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
Yeah I looked at Tauri! It's pretty great and I'm excited to see where it goes. I didn't end up going with it because I had a hard time figuring out how to efficiently send data from Rust -> browser without making a copy, and Tauri is still fairly early on the native integration stuff. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it though. One benefit of having most of the code in Rust is that I could feasibly port it to another platform.
If it's only one protein, is that protein primitively conscious?

It's not interacting with anything else to make those decisions, it's completely autonomous.

> observing effect, learning from it

If something is meaningfully doing that, then we're getting to consciousness. But I'll note that I don't count natural selection as "learning" here.

And observing the results of decisions and learning is not mandatory to survive and reproduce.

Maybe this isn't what the GP comment meant, but I think codegen can serve this function pretty well nowadays. I'm currently working on two separate projects, the first is a Django project with DRF and I codegen with drf-spectacular [1] and openapi-typescript-codegen [2]. The other project also uses Django, with the API through Hasura and codegen with graphql-codegen [3]. In both of these cases I've been able to largely avoid duplicating my models clientside, or at least it isn't manual.

This was great to read. Building a sass company over the past 10 years, nobody ever tells you how much of your life is going to be spent doing the payment dance with your customers.

The only part that’s missing from this lovely write-up is having to deal with multiple people or departments in the organisation which can multiply the time and energy involved, and of course having to sign “supplier terms and conditions” and things of that sort.

Part of me enjoys the dance, it reminds me that there’s a real person on the other end and I get to experience their systems and processes. But most of the time I find it a bore
Has there ever in recorded history been an instance in which someone has been subjected to a "performance plan" and then gone on to be successful in the company?

> The document lays out other rights, which naturally may be in conflict with each other at times

Ok, so we've taken away all these rights from unvaxxed people. What rights do you believe this has that allowed others to exercise?

Because from where I sit:

1. It doesn't reduce the odds of people getting COVID. We just had ... probably between 2-3 million COVID cases between NSW and Victoria, both with highly vaccinated populations. That is only possible if vaccinated people are infecting each other (as most reporting I've read suggests is happening).

2. Doesn't otherwise affect anyone's rights.

Note that there isn't even a right not to get sick from time to time. Although it even if such a right did somehow exist it isn't obvious how an unvaxxed person would be affecting your right to excercise ti since the problem is how much you come into contact with other humans vs anything any other individual is doing. There has been no threat to our hospital systems at any point that justifies what has been done to the unvaxxed. The pressure the hospital system has come under appears to be from the COVID restrictions (and, ironically, probably things like laying off workers for resisting the unreasonable vaccination policies - although if they've got the capacity to start sacking people then they clearly don't see a problem).

So it seems to me that we're doing this just for fun / for the joy of being authoritarian.

And your damn right the reasoning is motivated. Motivated by a desire to let people earn money and make their lives better at will. To be able to go places and visit friens and family without being arrested. To make their own medical decisions. These are reasonable motivations. These rights are the easy ones with practical justifications.
It's unfortunate when web sites hijack the slash key for their own uses (github gets me with this every time).
>I can't buy a net zero fork to eat my dinner with.

I mean, one argument is that removing yourself from the demand side and using a fork that already exists is essentially net zero. Is buying an EV really helping when it displaces a perfectly functional car? Or is it just sustainable theater? I'm sure there's a balance somewhere, but probably not near our current lifestyle in the west. Net zero is a lot harder when you have an economy predicated on the constant churn of consumerism.
From how I see it, understanding consciousness is impossible because it's difficult to define and even harder to explain.

Go back a couple billion years before we had life on Earth. There was no life until abiogenesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis) occurred. Somehow, over the course of a couple billion years, self-replicating molecules turns into single-celled life, then multicellular life, and eventually the complex lifeforms we see today.

But...that still doesn't explain consciousness.

To an external observer, a brain is just a very complex set of electrical and chemical reactions. But to that person, there's a consciousness behind it all. But that consciousness can be altered by drugs and physical injury. It calls into question if anybody actually truly has free will, or if a sufficiently advanced computer could perfectly simulate exactly how a person would react to anything given a perfect snapshot of the wiring of their neurons and states of synapses.

I don't know how to define consciousness in a way that couldn't also be applied to a sufficiently advanced AI/AGI.
Can confirm. I once had as a team me a weirdo that would refuse to run ANYTHING on his computer outside of docker. From git, to his browser, to the mail client, to the editor...everything had to be in a container. His Thinkpad had more containers that our entire production cluster. What a waste of energy and time.

> People on this site often make arguments using analogies, and those threads always devolve into arguments about the specifics of the analogy.

That is because analogies are only useful for illustration, not as a chain of reasoning to prove something.

Conversations almost universally become low quality once analogies are brought in. They should be used sparingly, and explicitly only for the purpose of illustrating an idea.

Wrong. The resources are under the control of the capital elite. They can decide at any time to allocate them to suit socially useful purposes, horde them or gamble them on the latest NFT fad.

- ipfs is way cheaper than s3.

- any trading network where the trade partners <1000 and you wanted redundancy then you could use a blockchain with ~20-100 nodes. especially across legal zones, so your want enforce trading rules without the need for international trade lawyers.

- Also think crypto innovation happens in waves. mostly when the market goes down and developers need to add more innovation to the market and the innovation cycle repeats.
For the pixelbook you still had the option to disassemble your laptop and disconnect the battery instead of using the special cable, but that involved prying large and fragile rubber sheets off the bottom of your laptop. I did that to my pixelbook before I learned about this cable and it worked (in addition to leaving my pixelbook permanently disfigured because Google does not offer any replacement parts at all to anyone anywhere). I don't know if the battery-based option is still available for newer chromebooks.
We have been running hundreds of services that effectively consume from various topics, perform mostly simple transformations and produce back to other topics. Providing this kind of functionality makes a lot of sense.

We are using TANK, and that functionality is not available there, but given the benefits such a feature provides, we will likely use RP as well in order to save on development time and number of distinct services we use for various events streams transformations.
It is kind of amazing how often the "next big thing" turns out to be less than promised. Natural Gas was supposed to be this great transition away from coal and heating oil and it seems like it has nearly as many issues.

I disagree with that, Apple is a mobile app company and there's only two in the world.

Twitter as big as it is, is just a website across millions of others. In the mobile app market there is exactly two companies, Apple and Google, that's it.

>Is the efficiency the number of amps required to gain/maintain a particular rotational speed?

Thrust, not RPM. Efficiency for any actuator is defined by (work done)/(power in). You could replace the Archimedes screw with a simple axle, and it would be much easier to maintain RPM - however it would move no air no matter how much power you dumped into it, and so would have 0% efficiency.

> So given rotational speed 4k conventional is 50g thrust and DaVinci 75ish g, if conventional costs 10amp then DaVinci would be less efficient if it uses more than 15 amps?

Not quite. Thrust / power for disk-shaped actuators is not a constant ratio, but a curve - an x^(3/2) power law, to be exact. You need exponentially more power to maintain a linear increase in thrust. So while it's correct that thrust/amps[note] describes the efficiency, it's not fair to compare conventional at 50g and DaVinci at 75g.

However I guarantee you if you put the same power into this rotor, you'll get less thrust than if you put it into a regular prop.

Too late to edit, but I just want to reiterate: I don’t actually agree with this, I’m just trying to make the case.

All the counterpoints about whether 10% is accurate, whether you get the right 10%, whether they’re evenly distributed, whether there are other costs, why not apply the same logic to managers and execs, etc etc etc, yes, I agree!
