This book is fantastic - it comes at a perfect time too, where I’m getting more work related projects about ‘make slow code fast’.

Going to be reading this - and looking forward to any future parts!
Consciousness is not reducible to symbol shuffling is my point. Computers at the moment can only perform mathematical operations, i.e. they can only shuffle abstract symbols. Neither intelligence nor consciousness can be defined purely in terms of symbol shuffling unless we vacuously define intelligence and consciousness to be abstract symbol shuffling.

Seems not so easy as the oss project owners I asked to do that had no idea how. That would make life better indeed.
As awful and prevalent as TV commercials have become the only thing I can think of with more commercials in between content are YouTube left on in the background and radio.

With YouTube some body decided during the pandemic to cram commercials in the middle of videos now, so music sets are ruined and all comedic timing as well. Anything I plan to watch more than once I use ytdlp because of the huge number of ads they've started cramming in to the start middle and end.

In the car the radio is only bearable if you have atleast three stations in your area that play genres that are enjoyable or you get lucky and you happen to be in the car when a live DJ is on, usually at some point during the rush hour commute or a weekend night.
There’s a huge opening in the market between slack and discord for community conversation and organization. My startup is working on this right now with a web3 implementation.
Maybe try not being so easily offended? It is just a figure of speech after all (and a rather common one).

Benefits and costs of writing a Posix kernel in a high-level language (2018) [pdf]
Furthermore contracts - in the context that a human being wants to be rewarded for their labor - also a legal construct. Meaning smart contracts aren’t very smart at all when they go wrong and reward the wrong party through unintended glitches or computer mis-interpretation of the contract. Or straight forgery.

No there’s no solution. Not until we all fully operate in a legal realm (the/a metaverse) that validates the contract and rewards the humans who created the contract to cover their own ass. If the contract doesn’t follow the _legal_ language and intent it’s not smart at all and yes it’s totally a solution in search of a problem.

this NFT stuff is doomed to failure until we all operate in the same realm validating the identity of the contract owner, validating the legal intent of the contract, because that’s what a contract is in meat space
Strange criticism. Feels more like the person is unhappy with community managers / admins who don't know better and shoehorn Discord into everything community-related, especially where a more async easier to catch-up with media like forum would work better.

Fast-moving chat channels and forums both have their very valid uses.
One challenge - authenticity checks need to be done end-to-end(where we that end may be)

If you had such a chip, who would check it for authenticity? That check would need to be well secured, so likely not the ARM firmware on the nanovna itself.

Possibly not nanoVNA-saver: the unscrupulous supplier might just include an unlabeled CDR with patched software.
“Did you think of a particular model of Mac when writing that Arthur Dent had one?” would be a better question then, but I’m not sure that‘s a particularly interesting question to ask?
I think a large majority of the population just think this stuff is silly and I highly doubt anyone would want to put legislation through to help these companies that arguably don't contribute much to society. I also don't think it would be popular to spend lots of tax dollars enforcing this stuff.
It took me a while to come across an actually-convincing example [1] of where 5x speed is useful. But the current top HN item [2] is stunning at 5x. Not to mention that it clocks in at a minuscule and almost entirely procrastination-guilt-free 35 seconds!

You basically asking "how do I get rich?" (or whatever your final goal is)

If there were at least one reproducable answer, we'd live in a completely different world.
A couple of things I personally find disappointing in Discord:

1) No concept of isolated identities for each server (or group of servers).

2) I use Discord maybe once per week, and every time I do, I have to log in again. The phone app quietly disconnects after a week or so.

3) Hard to find messages I have been mentioned in. I think there's an "inbox" that clears itself out after X days.

4) Pollution, mostly visually (can't collapse certain elements).
Yes, but it is not that Tolkied did not think about origin of orcs, he thought about it but dit not settled on definite answer or changed its ideas during time.
I'm of the opposite opinion. I think we need to spread out as soon as possible because it's not clear we can ever completely future proof our civilization here. There are simply too many things that can go wrong, many of which are not within our control. Take the pandemic for example, if it had been 10x worse it could have collapsed our current global civilization. There's no way of preventing it from spreading to every corner of the Earth without also destroying civilization as we know it. Same goes for asteroid impacts, super volcanos (consider Tonga a warning), tsunamis, solar flares, CMEs. Then there are the man-made disasters that we may or may not be able to keep under control such as war, terrorism, religious fanaticism, industrial accidents, pollution or even just apathy and hedonism.

I'm not saying we should ignore all the other things in favour of escaping to space. The Earth is the largest volume of habitable space that we have right now but it is also the only one and that's the problem. We should be building other habitats in parallel with solving our current problems. We need a literal backup plan in case things go seriously wrong.
Photovoltaic panels exhibit Fresnel reflection, meaning that they are more reflective at an angle but very weakly reflective head-on, just like glass.

According to this: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020EGUGA..2218924S/abstra... , the albedo is of 0.23, which is a lot lower than the albedo of soil.
But more than in Singapore.
It's not that difficult or complex. But imagine a team of 5, 10, 100 devs - each one has a family to feed and a job to keep. No one goes to those orgs as a dev because they aspire to change the world. You have to do what the product managers say the hot topic of the day is and it's never "go to the forums and fix issues" or "choose the most upvoted bugs and work on them". It's always the latest hype and headline-grabbing feature to work on that will get people promoted and some products off the shelves. Real users care about real issues, but they're already onboard.
Not quite understanding that, but I think it says "no numbers in the article", right? CBS broadcasts are not the same thing as data.
I'd join you both for beers.
I think my favorite was "Why did Simon Le Bon cross the road?" "To get to the other microphone."
Oh wow, that's really just unnecessary.
Pretty much agreed, it comes down to a discussion I had why before C was the only real standard for language interoperability, and nothing else could ever be since there's no pressure for the language implementers to adopt anything else, because everyone else is using plain C as the only officially supported glue as well.

(OS vendors can have their own little things but it doesn't matter because it will never be adopted outside the OS and will only ever be used to talk to the OS).

This changes with WASM because if languages want to run in the browser, they need to target WASM, and suddenly there's a new standard that can put as much pressure in the language implementations as the C standard. This is the second time this has happened in history and I'm quite hopeful WASM and WASI catch on since C is complete jank as a glue language (even if it's used by everyone).

It all comes down to popularity and politics.
> There is no need for subsidy.

There is if we add on a tax for the negative externalities, we need to consider both positive and negative externalities to get the tax right. The evidence is that the more fossil fuels we use the better off people are. If we add a tax on we'll use less, which is pushing the market in the wrong direction.

It is very hard to argue coherently that less & more expensive energy leads to better outcomes. The evidence is that in countries like China, Africa & India everyone benefits a lot more from using more fossil fuels than the cost of any negative externalities. We've run a big natural experiment here, the outcome is that more fossil fuels == rapidly improving living standards. Less fossil fuels leads to poverty.

Breaking growth in fossil fuels with a tax would be doing much more harm than good, even to bystanders. So there must be a large positive externality here somewhere. Because if you reduce the negative externalities and the outcome is much worse for everyone then there was probably a big positive externality in there somewhere.

I dunno, I suppose as a question - who do you think is bearing the cost of these negative externalities right now? Because it sounds from your reasoning like you are imagining a group of people who don't use fossil fuels or sit downstream of fossil fuels (so they can't influence the market with price signals). Who are these people, demographically speaking? And to preempt my argument, would they not be better off if we got them access to fossil fuel rather than worrying about negative externalities as they sit outside the system? It worked great for China.
I mute ads too. I don't understand why anyone would actually want to listen to this noise.
Can GDB handle these? How about Valgrind?
I didn't say nor imply they are being hidden. What I'm questioning is the attribution of so called long Covid strictly to the virus and not to any of the treatments and/or people's general state of health prior to getting sick. It's the mono-lens. It's the thumb on the scale narrative.

Sure there are outliers (i.e., people in very good health getting long Covid) and the media is great in highlighting them. It makes for profitable "news." But the typical American doesn't exercise enough, and doesn't eat particularly well. These things impact health. They impact recovery (from any illness or injury). Yet we continue to be stuck with leadership and a narrative that is afraid to discuss such things.

That's all I'm questioning.
This is a demonstration of truly advanced level of technology. I, of lower tech level, appropriately tremble in awe.
Billions of people live in cities. Unless they are all intolerable crucibles of pain, I submit that living voluntarily in a city is clear evidence that constant background noise is not the same as pain or abuse.

No, They use a commodity embedded Linux board that sits separate from the boards that contain the ASICs which do the hash calculations. I agree with OP the title is misleading, what this is describing is very pedestrian.

It's just not a realistic depiction. There is no real evidence that we have moved away from the brutalist paradigm. Look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria.

Despite what you may have been told, those are strategic conflicts. Russia annexing Crimea was also strategic.

It seems like Russia is looking at this as just trying to "stay in the game".

But he is right about a few things. The situation is different today with communication technology. And it does seem like a pivotal moment. But it's just not the case that we have been at peace. There has just been a bit of a lull.

I would like to believe that with the internet, useful translation software, etc., some type of peaceful global integration could be possible. But it does not look like countries or individuals are doing what is necessary for that. They continue to fail to recognize opposing world views or directly engage with them. They continue to view their own nations activities through rose tinted glasses and make little effort to recognize the true motivations or needs of other countries.

The people getting published are clueless and partisan.

Democracy is just a word meaning "our team". There is no real recognition of what it is or isn't, and no serious attempt to integrate other viewpoints. The western approach may be a step forward, but is far from ideal, and has many severe problems. Almost as severe as those in the east. More in some ways.

The "peace" has been through domination. This is just the current empire letting their foot off the neck of one of the stronger rivals.
And they inevitably end with "or death". I'm guessing they choose to list every vaguely possible side effect for CYA purposes, while simultaneously obscuring the actual risk profile by withholding information on the frequency of any given side effect.

It's like pestering users with alerts. After a certain point, you can't really blame someone for tuning them out and just clicking OK.
Text is a representation of human thought. This may look like text phenomenologically, but it has no meaning except when it’s filtered by a human. There is a deep ontological flaw with these applications.
A coworker was just showing me his the other night. We pitted it against a much more expensive network analyzer to see how it did and it was quite impressive, especially considering the price and size, and was definitely serviceable for amateur and student use. It's a seriously exciting device.
More generally, the plane flies along a spacetime geodesic, the most convenient of which is a ballistic parabola. This does require cutting the engines.

Cutting the engines is necessary but not sufficient. In level flight, air still supports the plane even without engine thrust, so the passengers would still feel "weight."

The "vomit comet" could achieve the same weightless effect without climbing by cutting the engines and pointing the plane toward the ground. That's effectively the second half of the ballistic parabola. But it would only provide about 12 seconds of weightlessness instead of 25.
Of course, but 'pull' doesn't seem to be a very good description - Linus will 'fetch' your branch, and then 'merge' it into main, or whatever.
I like this point of view. The system isn’t some permanent static game erected by Bezos and Schmidt for us to play out endlessly like Phil Connors in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

We can shape things in limited ways. With some effort, we could see interesting results.

Do you have any examples of advertising that does good?
Yes, "Earth-like" caught my attention too because red dwarfs are flare stars. I wanted to check my facts before commenting which led me down the rabbit hole of the history of Proximas flare activity, which is quite interesting.

Fun fact: Go outside on a clear night, and you can see 5-10,000 stars. There are 8 times that many red dwarfs in your field of view, and none of them are visible to the naked eye. But in 2016 Proxima was for a few minutes.

In March 2016 we saw a superflare: Proxima briefly became nearly a factor of 100 brighter, reaching a brightness just visible to the naked eye from dark sites.
Good reminder of how digital assets will impact banking
In general yes but you had areas with more death and the societal collapse afterwards had it's fair share in that.
How do you feel about immigration ? Or about international remote work ? Or exports of any kind, or globalization of any kind ? It’s all equivalent to capital flight at scale. Capital like knowledge wants to be free.

To be honest, I do like Discord, but I only really use it for gaming with friends. We set up a server and use it for multiplayer games, occasionally share memes, etc.

I really do not like it for communities, there's too much noise and too many annoucements.
I hope everybody recognizes the gap here. The fantasy of a lock of blockchain stuff is that it the source of truth for ownership. But when it gets down to brass tacks, everybody recognizes that true ownership lies elsewhere.

I know, but I'm gambling that I would get higher potential returns on Crypto. The losses are multiplied too of course.

Also, I don't have the desire to study companies enough to understand what I'm getting into.

> It's the latest iteration of Java Applets, Flash, Silverlight, PNaCL,

My question was about the "elsewhere" use case; I'm familiar with the original intention of WASM, and the technologies you mention are well covered by HTML5 and JS today.

> "The number of devices beefy enough to run VMs"

That's not the point. The point is that industry will rather use a cheep microcontroller still today if there is no justification for something more powerful, and these controllers cannot afford VMs or dynamic memory management. Of course there are always people running MicroPython or friends on MCUs, but this is a niche.
I was just interested in learning about a micro blogging project from Twitter and their blog is basically empty, but the discord has a lot of activity. It's a bit jarring to see these professionals interacting on a gaming platform, and adds a lot of friction for me personally. I'm really interested in the technology and updates but not enough to sift through their chitchatting. No offense.

Yup, it's all about population density.

At the turn of the century, Canada was >70% rural or some such. Now, it's reversed. >70% urban.

When you live on a farm, in the county, and own 100 acres, a few extra acres for wood provides a long supply of wood, with time for more to grow.

Every farm tended to have rocky, unusable bits, but still ok for trees. Back then, before everyone had backhoes, removing large rocks, even small rocks, was work.

So some fields were best left for trees.

And one of your neighbours would likely own 1000 acres or more of bush land, ok for trees, but too rocky or swampy for farming. Or local crown land would be used for harvesting trees.

Back when people went in with sleighs in the winter, felled trees by hand with axe and hand saw, no one strip cut. Why would they?

(It is easier with horses to pull logs out on sleigh, in winter, than over uneven, soft ground. Especially in frozen swampy land. Even today, people will use snowmobiles and sleigh to get trees out for personal use.)

Anyhow back then, it was only people living in higher density locations, away from nature, which exceeded easy supply.

Of course, population growth happens, and wood burning can be dirty, so now we warm homes with other methods typically.

I find the difference most amusing during special events, eg. new years eve, even with similar-ish cultures.

In slovenia, NY eve means a few movies on some channels, maybe even a movie marathon (home alone 1-5, etc.), and on one channel, from about 23h->00:30 the next day/year some "funny" show, with a few songs, a host+guests talking about stuff and a countdown. So basically stuff that you have to watch and listen to in whole.

In serbia for example, the show lasts for 6h+, and it's basically 99.9% music, except for a joke or two inbetween songs and a countdown with happy wishes for new year, and it's designed to be played "in the background", where noone really cares about the show, unless it's a song they really really like and turn the volume even higher. example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ9-w8qlpEY
Of course. I think anyone that's done a bit of research knows that it's just a form of ponzi. But this is the clown world we seem to be living in for now.

Curious to hear what you guys think about this
as someone from the 90s desktop publishing scene myself, I would say that the parent post is accurate from the seat of a person faced with the transition to cloud. 26 million subscribers and growing, reflects network power, ease of acquisition of new customers, institutional users, and just basically people on the further edges of the original "boom". Just because the current model does build and grow subscriptions per month, at those prices, under those terms, does not mean that the observations from the seat of an individual person, is wrong or invalid.

"After the customers left" might mean "after the customers who thrived in the previous era left", and then you would both be right.
Definitely not my experience. Decent US insurance, my annual physical, metabolic panel, and STI screen is free.

For those in your situation, Planned Parenthood might be an option for reduced or no cost STI screening.
No, I don't think so. They activate using your Steam account.
For software projects, Discord isn’t my favorite either. But on the other hand, I have used it successfully for getting help, and finding previous answers to my questions. To say everything gets buried in the flow of chat doesn’t make much sense to me. Discord has a rather robust search feature, and it works well. Search for what you need, if it was talked about before you’ll find it. If not ask a new question.
It's the same in my family, with one exception. We sometimes do have TV on in the background, but the only permitted channel is TV Kultura -- news about art, museums, exhibitions, theatre, humanities, arthouse cinema, etc.
