And Russo-Ukrainian War[0] is ongoing for 8 years as for yesterday (Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied Ukrainian Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk since February 20, 2014).

JFTR, I'm Ukrainian living in Ukraine, and here are some insights from me on HN posted yesterday.[1]

The implementation of the 8008 is completely different from the 2200 (as is Texas Instruments' forgotten TMX 1795 implementation). It would be extremely inefficient to copy the TTL implementation, since that depended on what chips were available. But the biggest difference is that the Datapoint 2200 was a serial machine that used serial shift-register memory while the 8008 had a "normal" 8-bit datapath.
Ah, that's where they all were :)

Good point!
FAANG is an acronym for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google. Uber isn't in the same ballpark as those companies (arguably Netflix isn't really in the same ballpark as the other four either...).

Err, while squeakjs is impressive (and I have spent quite a while doodling within it, using old squeak images, and current cuis images), one cannot in good conscience call it "fast".

In fact, if keeping one eye on the truth, then one couldn't call it "slow" either.

If performance IMPROVED by one order of magnitude, then you could call it "slow".

I know I'm not going to change your mind because that would require changing your whole worldview, but I would push back on the notion that this is a "techno-libertarian religion". It certainly has experts that endorse the view. A whole field of them. In fact, it has its own term in the discipline of economics.

There is a lot of rants in this article (more towards the end). It's great to be self reflective about how you do things, how you think, etc, and what choices you make and why, but this started to get preachy and state absolutes that other people should follow or take heed of. I've been doing software for 40+ years, and one observation I've made and it's something that keeps happening is people giving very definitive rules and advice, some of these end up becoming peoples guiding principles/values (things that are good, things that are bad) and mostly it just serves to put blinkers (blinders in the US?) on people and slows down exploring other ways of thinking about software. I get why we do this, and I get why someone wants to preach to newcomers (as this article states) and why we want to try and take our experiences and encode them into guiding principles, but it is easy to forget you only have the tiniest of windows on the world of software development. I think it's much more important to tell our stories, explain our reasoning, reflect on how we could do better and what we would do with 20/20 hindsight. Luckily on HN we see a lot of this style of writing.
How to Raise Venture Funding When Investors Hate Your Market
It's incredibly clear they're only doing the Meta/Metaverse thing to a) try to avoid regulatory scrutiny (so they think; this will have the opposite effect of what they intend) b) distract the public from the toxic Facebook brand c) both (my money is on c). Zuckerberg is never ever to be trusted with anything given his history - and it shows.
There is no way in hell this ad was actually written to attract people to VR. This is, like, the dystopian version of VR. The physical world crumbles around us as we live in a poor digital rendering of our nostalgia.

>The cause of colic is generally unknown. Fewer than 5% of infants who cry excessively turn out to have an underlying organic disease

Could be small asshole, but the thing about colic is usually there's simply NOTHING that can be fixed.

People want to think you can fix something, or that there is some underlying disease. With colic that is rarely the case. That's the maddening thing about it, there's nothing wrong per se with the child, nothing to fix, no cause to be found. People offer solutions constantly, you keep trying to solve it, but at the end of the day the child simply acts like they hate life and everyone in it and there's simply nothing you can do but wait it out for months. You can drive yourself mad trying to find something wrong when there simply is no curable solution but time.

I'd argue that real anonymity requires disconnection from digital networks in this age.

I.e. cash, rural, paper letters for last mile

The internet is by definition centralized and the government has privileged access, from a surveillance perspective. Luckily, the number of people who really need this level of anonymity (i.e. I am wanted by every world government as a top priority) is pretty low.
I don't recall that David Suzuki ever cost Canadians significant amounts of money in policing. That's what OP was talking about - the cost of policing. There is also the significant cleanup.

If David Suzuki conducted a protest, then his organization would be expected to pay for the license, the cleanup, and the policing.

I don't know what the final bill will be, but this one event is well into the tens of millions. Nobody from the protest seems too interested in paying for these expenses, and instead are hoping to leave it to Canadians to pay through taxes.

Assuming a dozen photos per meal, 2 meals a day, 360 days a year... thats 8640 pictures per year. In 10 years, she'll be at 86k pictures of food.

For what it's worth, my own photo album has an average of ~7000 photos per year for the last 10 years (and that includes 2020 and 2021 being abnormal years), and I don't use social media. In less than 5 years, I'll cross 100k photos. Actually thats combined photos and videos. The videos take up more space. They used to be 1080p videos. They're now all 4k.

Under most conditions, the IRS just wants its money. If you make a mistake on your return, they will notify you by mail and give you a number to call to get things cleared up. If you don't call the number within the allotted time period, and don't pay what you owe in a timely fashion, THEN they start hitting you with penalties.

There are plenty of failure modes to this process that could potentially get bad, but in general the IRS wants to give you a chance to settle honest mistakes amicably, and only really "go after" you with tax evasion charges if you persistently avoid filing and paying. They're tax collectors, not cartoon villains.

Sauce: Made a mistake on my taxes once, got contacted by the IRS, followed the procedures to correct it.
That sounds like a substantially better time than whatever FB is offering.

Given that (at least in the US) it isn't marketed as chocolate or a chocolate spread but as a “hazelnut spread with cocoa”, I’d say that's a bit of an understatement.
Engine pollution and particulates have dropped significantly over the past decade. Much of this is due to tighter tolerances and electronic controls.
Why not hundreds on a single low power host?
One issue with primitive pub/sub is usually that they builds on top of unbounded queues, which are problematic in various ways. They might grow over time, until the system runs out of resources and bad things happen. And even if we don’t get that far, the queue might hold a ton of things that peers are no longer interested in. Pull based systems are better here, because clients only request data when they actually need it and nothing has to be queued. But obviously this comes with some extra latency.
Out of curiosity: what is it about Observable that you don’t care for?
Here's an opinion that virtually nobody holds. You want me to adopt that opinion? You'd better have some reason for me to do so - some evidence.

Here's an opinion that 99% of people hold (or 99% of those within a field - same effect). You want to persuade someone to not hold it? Better have evidence.

It's not exactly that the burden is on the one making the claim, or on the one denying the claim. The burden is on the one who is trying to change minds from their existing beliefs. That one needs something convincing - principles, reason, or evidence, with evidence being the best.
It would be cool to show some stats on what other people scored.
There's simply no forensic evidence of their claims here -- just a CPU-draining powerpoint show of nothingburgers. This reminds me of a slightly more modern version of Condoleeza Rice presenting fake evidence of Saddam Hussein's WMD development. Just a basic appeal to authority with a total lack of evidence.

> But as someone who's a big fan of your work, I'd implore you to not trust myself or your knowledge on this and hit up a lawyer. You're close enough to the edge of legality with a lot of your work that I'd hate to see you stifled by a minor misunderstanding here that could have been avoided.

I do not retain a lawyer personally, but I inform myself of legal opinions around this field. It's why I felt comfortable enough to write this:

https://asahilinux.org/copyright/

Ultimately though, once you stay clear of obviously problematic actions, the question of whether you're going to get in trouble boils down to whether the company you're up against is evil, for better or for worse. Given that Apple isn't going around suing jailbreakers and Hackintoshers, I'm not too worried that they'll go after us as long as we don't do anything stupid.

Conversely, I got frivolously sued by Sony for talking about a security vulnerability in the PS3... and yeah, I had to get a lawyer for that one.

In the end, once you get yourself deep enough into legal analysis around these subjects, you come to the conclusion that everyone violates copyright in little ways, all the time, and the world would grind to a halt if we stopped. The system is broken and relies on the goodwill of the people participating to not completely collapse. For example, I've previously mentioned how copying most example code you find online, e.g. in places like Stack Overflow, is a copyright violation unless you adhere strictly to the license (did you know SO content is licensed under CC-BY-SA?). Posting third party code snippets to most services, e.g. Twitter, is a copyright violation due to incompatibility between the license and the ToS requirements of the site. And so on.

What you do online doesn't have to spill over to real life. Anonymity isn't just about committing crime, it's about not getting stalked over petty arguments online, be it by insane people, potential employers, or other scary things.

In Academic Philosophy people can say subatomic particles are slightly conscious and no one would critique them, including other Philosophers?
They're giving Black Mirror a run for their money.
It's likely cheaper to have people that to automate further. One problem with automation is that if you are making bespoke products, engineering and capital costs for the automation cost more than a person.

A printing press operator costs ~$67k/year ($45k salary + benefits + etc). Automating a step can easily cost $100-200k, plus 10-20% of that in yearly maintenance, so if the task being performed is changing more than once every few years its cheaper for a person to do it.

Humans are very good at tasks involving hand-eye coordination and machines are good at extremely repetitive tasks. Most of the people in the article seemed to be doing tasks that automation is not yet good at. The book cover had standard CMYK printing plus some special inks to help it stand out. Automation could easily check the CMYK inks, but not the special inks, as they likely fall out of the sRGB color range that off the shelf cameras are able to sense (you likely would have to use several BW cameras with special filters).
A better version of that story would really sell the addictive escapist appeal matched with the social incentives of participation (and maybe - more subtly - the coercive disincentives of non-participation) while allowing the dystopian reveal to happen gradually.
I sincerely wish her luck in her endeavors. She seems to be a creative individual, and I look forward to her work, as she progresses.

As someone else has pointed out about themselves, I'm a battle-scarred, wizened, grumpy old man, with over 35 years of coding behind me (and still going strong. My latest checkin was about five minutes ago. I'm taking a quick HN break, before tying a bow on the project for the evening).

I've come to learn that not all new stuff is good, and not all old stuff is bad. I still use techniques and habits that I picked up, in my very earliest, Devonian Dev days, but I also really like some of the newer stuff; much of it only available, because of the advances in tooling and teaching.

I've also learned not to give a rat's ass whether or not people are impressed by me. The ones that matter, are, and the ones that aren't, seldom matter.

A lot of my programming is a hideous chimera of techniques, mashed together, and simmered at a low boil. It's a scary place.

Works well, though.

There are still modern authors who buy into this kind of argument. E.g. the late John Taylor Gatto, who refused to use footnotes because he thought they made readers dumb. I forget whether or not his books have indices.
The Chinese Room is a really, really bad thought experiment. It's just an attempt at misdirection. It asks you to imagine a computer (one that operates on slips of paper according to rules that are written down in a big book), puts a human inside that computer, and then says that because the human doesn't understand what the computer program is doing, the computer program isn't conscious.

But this is just question-begging. The experiment purports to resolve the question "can a computer be conscious", and answers it by showing you a computer and claiming that it is not conscious.

Worse, the Chinese Room is straight-up Cartesian dualism. By placing the human inside the computer, Searle is preying on your Cartesian intuition that there must be a theatre of the mind where reality is experienced. And since Searle's homunculus doesn't understand Chinese, nothing can be experienced, therefore no conscious experience is happening in this system.

If I'm wrong, and the Chinese Room thought experiment is conclusive, it must be possible to reformulate it without the human. After all, the human does nothing but follow rules in a purely mechanistic fashion. Can anyone offer a reformulation of the experiment, that has no human, that they still feel is convincing?
No, the iOS requirement is for DNS64/NAT64. The server can be IPv4, the app has to work with an IPv6 address provided by DNS64. If 464XLAT were the deployed, the app could continue to speak IPv4, but it can't. Nothing to poster you replied to said contradicted that, so I'm not sure where you got it from that they speak about 464XLAT?
Aside from plenty of bad arguments in this rant, the oddest one is that it's somehow wrong for someone who's reached the pinnacle of success by society's standards to continue working hard for something he values. I'm no fan of Zuckerberg and I generally dislike defending him, but if he's spending 18 hour days directing a multinational corporation all while preventing the company from collapsing within, he's certainly earned his seat. I don't see how having the Joker run the company is preferable.
I hope and pray that this doesn't lead to Mark Zuckerberg getting elected as president and then fucking a pig on live TV.

It isn’t, though. That’s a dishonest argument. There are myriad cases of the media (incl. NYT) or the general public misinterpreting findings, usually by way of generalisation or misattributed cause. I empathise with any specialist with this much public attention on them, because everywhere you turn there’s a bone-headed journalist willing to either by way of malice or ignorance misrepresent your findings.

I’m not a US resident and have the privilege of being able to care very little about what US government agencies have to say, so I don’t really care in the end, but at least be honest with yourself.

Everyone is allowed to protest legally.

First, you need a permit. To get that permit, you need to arrange for policing and cleanup if it is on public property or property not owned by the protest members. You can protest at your place of employment where it is all covered under yours and your work's insurance. There are other situations taken into account like that.

None of this was done. Instead the convoy was harassing citizens by excessive loud noise (horns and yelling, etc) starting at 6 AM every day, and goading them on just for wearing masks etc, and had no intention of leaving until Trudeau left office and the mandates were lifted. Neither of those were ever going to happen, so this endless illegal protest would be going on until the mandates are lifted as already scheduled. They were also blocking the border bridges, which is illegal regardless of the protest. And telling people to drive their trucks to block the traffic is also illegal (counseling to commit a crime). Laws were being ignored left right and centre.

This is all very different than what a legal protest looks like.
