I think you’re confusing sets with another concept. I don’t know much about those other languages you list but I believe python’s typing.Union is more similar to what you list. Sets are just unordered data collections with unique elements.

If a Russian in America gets hurt and goes to a hospital, should it be denied medical attention? Where do you draw the line, actually?

If I'm not Russian but my parents are, should I be sanctioned as well? Again, where do you draw the line?

If you happened to be at Russia, would you be okay if everyone denied their services to you?

If your country got involved into a conflict, and you don't even live there anymore, and people started treating you like a pariah, would you feel be fine with that?

Some guys thought about all these things, and wrote:

"Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the POLITICAL, JURISDICTIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL STATUS OF THE COUNTRY OR TERRITORY TO WHICH A PERSON BELONGS, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty."

I don't think that's open to interpretation but YMMV. Check it out by yourself at, https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma...

I think it's made by some guys at the UN or something, they seem to know a thing or two about human rights.
Parts might be but given the anti science approach to covid and other such problems I would think half of the country is anti-meritocratic. Unless you mean sports.
> Jitsi has been around for quite a while. Now I'm not sure what makes Brave Talk any different.

It makes Jitsi available to many people who wouldn't otherwise use it. If you care about Jitsi and people communicating, that's great. If you care about marketshare and fame, that's not.
Anything that prompts Discord to provide more options regarding message retention would be a step forward. Instant messages were never designed to be a permanent storage medium for information archival. I don't think anybody should need to worry whether a data breach will unearth something they said in a private chat fifteen years ago, just because their service provider didn't offer a practical way to automatically delete old messages.

Looking at the votes though, I suppose HN does get use out of Discord's unlimited message history. Personally I'd rather have more control over my data than that.
I'm happy with it. It's pretty much like Chrome/Chromium (more responsive and performant than Firefox on macOS) but with some privacy settings/tweaks [0]. All of the cryptocurrency features can be turned off. The only thing I dearly miss from Firefox is Awesomebar. Brave's/Chromium's Omnibar is terrible in comparison.

Surprising how expensive these were. Apparently the original price for this was around $4k - maybe $9k modern eqv.

128MB of RAM would have been insanely spendy in 1989. Somewhere around $30k modern eqv.

So the total equivalent cost would be as much as a higher spec Mac Pro.
Well for starters you're gonna have all applicable state and local taxes withheld from wherever you're fraudulently claiming to be living, as that is going to be where you are ACTUALLY living as far as all relevant taxation authorities are concerned.
I don't see how they are alternatives to each other, because crypto doesn't perform the same function. It's only marketed that way.

You can be sure a system like Hawala works because actual terrorists have used it forever. Like Toyota pickup trucks.

There are notorious pictures of Toyota pickups with frames that have broken in half. Since they have "issues" does it mean insurgents should drive Teslas instead?
I never understood this attitude, not when it was professed in the 80's, nor now. If I can find a way for me and my family to survive I will do my damnedest to try. Moving out of a densely populated country to the countryside in another, sparsely populated country was a good decision not just because I like to live in the woods, it also puts some distance between us and potential targets. This was not really why I made this decision but it doesn't hurt, either. Being self-sufficient to a relatively high degree - especially when it comes to energy the which actually does seem to grow on the trees here - also helps.

Russia hasn’t actually been deploying EW equipment in Ukraine at any meaningful capacity, and it’s rather unlikely that they will as they can’t really safely fly over the country.

My wife was a teacher and we had a similar story. They gave her a perfectly fine MacBook with spinning disk and the smallest memory possible (this was about 10 years ago). I upgraded the RAM to max and the disk to SSD and just put the original pieces away. She was happy, and when it came time to turn it in, we just put the original bits back in.
As a user, if you build every python package from source, it's ok. But if you a maintainer of an OSS project and you need to publish binary packages for it, then you will hit the trouble. Binaries built on Ubuntu 20.04 can only support Ubuntu 20.04 and newer. So you'd better to choose an older Linux release to target broader users. Now most python packages choose CentOS 6 or 7. See https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/issues/1012 for more details. They need help!

The "socialization" kids get in the American school system through their peers is something that people in most of the world would consider utterly dysfunctional. And the fact that educators haven't realized that they've helped create a completely non-functional generation of kids is a damning indictment of the field.
There are a handful of studies I am aware of. Acceleration of 1-2 years among gifted students is correlated with a lack of negative outcome, i.e., not accelerating them is correlated with depression, drug abuse, and mental health crises. But acceleration beyond that sees no marked improvement or detriment. Child prodigies tend to become very normal career scientists or engineers.

I would like to see evidence of this.

On the contrary there is enough evidence that top mathematical competitions (IMO, Schweitzer, Putnam competition etc.) have been dominated by Russians & Slavics for a very long time. Same holds for Fields & Abel prizes. The link between phonetics & notations have little to do with proficiency. Basic arithmetic upto counting 5 maybe - when numbers are like 一 ニ 三. But beyond that the association seems tenuous. Math isn't just arithmetic.

Asian kids have a lot of study drills. The amount of after-class homework that I see kids doing makes me sad. Arithmetic gets better with practice. No magic formula
This is why peertube and other are so important. Despite all the garbage hate stuff on there, just ignore the loonies and look for the good stuff.
If you look at single-threaded processor benchmarks, CPUs are still getting faster. The new i9's are 20% faster than the next-fastest chips. It's definitely not doubling every two years but it's still noticeable.

Can you explain how to square that with the link saying compressing data hasn't gotten any faster since 2005?
I love the Switch and I'm a big fan of many Nintendo franchises but Nintendo has a habit of screwing over honest customers, especially early adopters, and their retro efforts are a good example of that:

People who purchased games on the original Wii Virtual Console had to pay per-game fees to upgrade to native Wii U versions. As if that wasn't cheeky enough the Wii U NES emulation was terrible. Bad colors and serious input lag. Instead of fixing it for those customers who already paid (sometimes twice) for those games, Nintendo released the NES Classic which had a much better emulator… but only if you paid again.

(There also wasn't cross-buy/play between Virtual Console 3DS and Wii U, as opposed to e.g. Sony's PS3 and Vita's PS1 support.)

Then came the Switch with Nintendo Switch Online. Putting aside subscription vs. purchasing, the experience is great. But all those Virtual Console games you have? Can't play them. Pay again.

Remaster are cool but the way Nintendo approaches them is another example of how early adopters get the short end, with Wii U games getting re-releases on Switch (great) with additional content like Bowser's Fury (also great) but without making that content available as DLC to people who already paid full price for the original versions.

(By the way, those NSO N64 games aren't part of the basic subscription)
Your list of source books is telling: you have a PR person with a history of being sloppy with the truth in service of conservative political goals, a political science major who has made a great deal of money from conservative funders but whose articles do not meet scientific levels of rigor and are routinely ripped apart by actual scientists, and a theoretical physicist who was a C-level officer at a fossil fuel company (BP). Beyond the lack of domain experience, what all three of those have in common is work which is widely recognized as being based on cherry-picking, misrepresenting climate scientists' claims and goals, and, especially, studiously ignoring how climate scientists' predictions from decades ago have held up well while the various deniers have rotated through a series of poorly-supported explanations with no coherent linking philosophy other than that climate change cannot be real because otherwise their funders might be expected to pay damages.
> Now they seem to be doing the privacy-browser thing, like Firefox was before it went all "spyware on by default".

Brave was always about privacy, which is why they started with ad blocking + a way to pay creators along with ad serving where the local client determined which ads you should see instead of sending all of your usage data to a third-party ad service.
Not being fundamentally different to the N64 purchase model from 1996 is the problem!

And in fact it’s actually worse given that many titles are available digital only.
Very good point, thank you! I was betting on people trying it out for themselves but apparently the description isn’t clear :/
There's no way to legally dump a switch rom.

It's just what it is, you'd have to crack the DRM on it and that's already a violation of the DMCA.

Let's be honest for a second, almost no one who's running a switch emulator legally purchase those games, and then dumped those games to a file. Sure, it's possible but that's not what 99.9% of users are going to do.

You attempt to install Windows on a Steam Deck, but it looks like nothing works yet.

> You're basically arguing nuture > nature

No, that's completely orthogonal to all this. I'm simply pointing out the author is calling for entrenching a system where privilege is rewarded and exacerbated irrespective of actual giftedness, or whether any actual giftedness is a result of nurture or nature.
Amazing way to think about HPIs, thanks for the introduction of this concept.
it’s not just “not as bad” it’s categorically a different thing
> - It doesn't include a dock or any external controller without paying more. This was the entire pitch for the Switch

did you miss the fact that they now sell undockable Switch versions?

> m guessing lots of people will install windows.

You will be surprised. A lot of customization went in steamOS that wont be easily done on a windows build
But where do you still find games that you own?
You might be lucky enought to still own a physical media but the game is still only licensed to you. What if the licensor decides that the media will burn the first account it is used with into some efuses? No more selling that cart.
You can be f*cked with every minute.

Or just a hypothetical example: you bought a cool sandbox game in alpha and then some years later, some big IT corp comes around and requires that you now have to use their account system, hand over your data and agree to being tracked.
I can easily pirate most games on Steam. I don't, because they provide a good service and I believe game creators should be paid for their work. I will never buy another Nintendo game or device because they are very anti-consumer in too many ways that are off-putting to me, and I don't like buying locked down hardware. So emulation on the Steam Deck it is :)
"Commodity network" is 400 gbit/sec?! I want that. I mean, it exists, but is still pretty exotic afaik.

When I started reading this, I anticipated both Instagram and Google. They’re both notorious in banning accounts, and there’s nothing you can do (except maybe get useless template responses in the case of Instagram).

It seems like your phone number is the main problem here. It’s tainted and is on some very bad lists. You should get a new number (or two) and transition over. It may also be helpful to get new phones and set them up afresh as much as possible.
> - If they where clever they could time the latency and find how far you are on relative to the satellite. Giving a circle path to look at. Meaning plane could find you by flying along the circle. So I guess it could help them track the radio signal...

If they had compromised your satellite providers infrastructure, otherwise no. This isn’t how the internet works.
Oh and they have got a lot better with keeping up Chromium releases. It now usually takes one or two days for a new Brave version to be released after a new Chromium is released (as opposed to a few weeks in the past!?).

Yeah, besides the fun of personalization and just pure joy of poking around, I worry that some true innovation might be stifled by all this protections.

There should be several levels of security toggles, from being able to install software from anywhere on the internet, all the way to disabling memory protection altogether. As long as the user completely understands each, I think we would be in a much better situation.

My understanding is that even decimals still do rounding, so it doesn't give users accurate arbitrary-precision numbers.

A default number format that is much slower than built-in floating point but still subject to unexpected deviation from real arithmetic numbers doesn't seem like a win for users.
That's great, if the person using the emulation doesn't like the experience then they'll (maybe) go buy the original Nintendo experience.
The cheapest second hand iPhones that run the current version of iOS (but are right at the tail of any support) are on the high side of the price range of what I’ve ever spent on a new, primary phone that I expect to last me at least several years. (And although it’s not as common as the alternative, I’m hardly alone in not spending much on phones; now laptops, on the other hand—.) I don’t want to spend more on a device that I might use once every few months.
> Can you explain how to square that with the link saying compressing data hasn't gotten any faster since 2005?

Compression may be bottlenecked by ram (L2 or L3 cache) access speed, or maybe even dram (main memory) access speed.
I'm trying to actually figure out how I handle this myself. I definitely don't visualize numbers to nearly the extent of the OP, but I guess I do to some extent kiiind of 'see' the blocks of 10. IE if I add 8 + 5, I do think of the 5 splitting into a 2 and a 3, and I guess there's an.. almost visual aspect to it. It's just in situations with carries though; I certainly don't visualize each number as a different shape.
This comment rings hollow considering Nintendo's track record of bungling online multiplayer with high latencies, and how much of a train wreck Nintendo Switch Online's N64 emulation has been.
This is quite simply factually false. Socioeconomic status (so-called "privilege") has some correlations with outcomes, but there's wide variation in abilities even once you account for socioeconomic status.

Every kid is unique, and pretending that the top 5% of learners should be in the same classroom as the bottom 5% of learners does a disservice to both.
I’ve often wondered what it would be like to not have aphantasia, or experience synesthesia. Not keen on mind-altering substances like LSD though…

Came across the “tongue knows” meme recently and it is wild for me — perhaps as close as I might ever get! Curious if anyone else with aphantasia has the same reaction?

> Your tongue knows exactly how everything you look at will feel.
> Try it! Look at the table leg. You know what it will feel like if you lick it. Imagine licking a football. Or the couch. Whether you have or haven’t actually licked these things, when you imagine it, your tongue knows. It knows.

Battery life is variable. Pokémon kills my switch in about 1.5 hours. It’s been shown that , depending on the setting, steam deck can rival switch in battery life. Playing a modern game at high settings and uncapped frame rate will kill your battery, but low settings and capping frame rate at 30fps will make the steam deck last much longer.
I think you are simply describing collective punishment. You are making the case that collective punishment is easier and more fair because you don't even consider about if any individual person punished is deserving or innocent.

I hit that wall at U.C. Berkeley over the English requirement. I didn't know how to write an essay on "Odysseus" and "The Iliad" and say something intelligent about them.

SIMD - compressing has gotten faster, but (assuming OP is correct rather than just missing info) the reference algorithm didn't have room to take advantage of SIMD. The relevant improvements since 2010 or so mostly look like bandwidth improvements not latency, and coincide with increasing ubiquity of SIMD instructions and SIMD-friendly algorithms.
They don't handle bugs. If the bug is reproducible on RHEL, they will suggest you report the bug to RHEL. It scares people away. At this moment, the manylinux community is considering Rocky Linux and Alma Linux, but it's very hard for them to make the decision because of lacking direct support.

I'm not sure if 'half-life' is the appropriate term, as it typically connotes random decay. But the decay of popular facts appears to be anything but random; rather, it appears to be strongly correlated with political expediency.
Do you have perfect pitch? What frequencies do the numbers have? How high is the frequency of a really large number like 1000? What about fractions and irrational numbers?

There is an extremely important difference between these two examples. The first was the government forcing school libraries to remove books.

The second is individuals expressing displeasure with the speech of another individual.

While both involve people who want to silence others. The former is a violation of free speech, while the later is an exercise of free speech.
no way this works, not in typical soil - and probably not even in sand. First of all, much too hard to be done by hand, so then you need a big piece of hydraulic equipment, which I am quite sure could handle the force necessary (think post haul auger that telephone companies use).

But that coffin is not going to be strong enough to withstand those forces - and who wants to watch that think 'snap' when you are trying to screw it into the ground and you end up snapping gramma or grandpa in half...sorry, but no thanks.
the Saint Peter equivalent should be the official name for the torque.

"When installing the screw-in coffin, be sure to set the torque to one Saint Peter, and one Our Father for good measure"
I think this might help for doing arithmetic in your (or my) head because just remembering the numbers, it's hard to keep everything in working memory for me. But, using shapes, I think it puts the number somewhere you can hold on to it better.
That wouldn't make sense - compression has very cache-friendly access patterns, and would benefit greatly from the observed improvements in memory bandwidth.
I enjoyed reading it, as someone who writes a lot of go but hasn't done any profiling of code.
