> My theory is that NFTs and Bored Apes are a fad of dumb rich kids playing with Mom or Dad's money, which they are given so they stay out of their hair.

It’s so much worse. NFTs and crypto are seen as a lottery ticket. If you’re near broke, you’re gonna still be poor even if you save a couple hundred bucks… but if you strike it rich with NFTs, you have a ticket out of poverty. Someone else made it rich with NFTs and crypto, and now I’m gonna make it rich with NFTs and crypto.

Bored Apes are expensive but there are NFTs at all sorts of price points.
Good! Now the less quick trick is finding a way to affect discussion not just prompt it. It’s very similar but requires a lot more anticipation of other people’s emotional state.

Shocking right?

I mean services have existed for on-demand language translation by phone for a long time. You call them up, tell them what language and they connect with a translator.

Hell, they probably have cool apps and stuff now.

No doubt not cheap, but hey let's keep using Google Translate for life-and-death issues.
Desalination produces a lot more water-per-KWh-energy than unboiling water from the atmosphere. Elsewhere in this thread someone linked a paper which estimates up to 100 litres per KWh for desalination, vs ~1 litre per KWh for condensing.

Saving on machinery, or chemicals, might be important but $150 of materials for a device will buy you ~25,000 litres of water in bulk (in the USA).
You will be persuaded otherwise and you will not mind. Because the AI is that good.

> What part of Firefox is "open source" when you can't integrate in your own projects?

Let's not mix everything up. For a good debate we need clear ideas. Firefox can be built from sources available under open source licenses, it is sufficient to makes it open source. Being embeddable and modular may be desirable features but it isn't a requirement to be open source.
Are wanting to be able to badly hack things together and get stuck but not have to spend too much time learning or do you actually want to understand what you're doing?

If it's the former then just learn some web technologies, if it's the latter then the language you learn doesn't matter and you should focus on learning the fundamentals.

Please tell me I’m not the only person who sees this as a disgustingly political message just for popularity? He compared republicans on January 6th to nazis, says “f** your freedom” when talking about mandated vaccines, and now still lied about January 6th and compared it to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s disgustingly political and I cannot be the only person who sees it this way.
"Bök aspires to create a poem enciphered into DNA that will replicate within an organism until the end of time"

Apart from the bioengineering there is "a pair of mutually-enciphered sonnets, ‘Orpheus’ and ‘Eurydice,’ so that either poem can be translated as the other using a cipher he called ‘ANY-THE’—so, “oh stay / my lyre” in ‘Orpheus’ becomes “in fate / we rely” in Eurydice’s corresponding lament." [1]

I found this just mind blowing.

Ask HN: How do Russia sanctions affect large tech companies?
I was able to find a couple HN articles from a few small entrepreneurs about the effect of sanctions [1] [2].

Does anyone know how sanctions apply to large tech companies?

For example, is Microsoft legally required to block Russian users from being able to download Windows security updates from Microsoft? Seems like black hats will soon have a free-for-all on any and all Russian Windows machines if that's the case.

For that matter, what about the Internet itself? Are companies in sanctioning countries legally required to firewall IP addresses that geolocate to Russia? Are ISP's in sanctioning countries legally required to blackhole IP traffic coming to or from Russia? Are transatlantic or land-based fiber optics running from EU, Japan or the US to Russia legally required to be shut down or even physically severed?

How do the companies that own those fibers pay for the fibers' operational and capital costs, considering that money now can't flow into or out of Russia? Even if the fibers are legally allowed to operate, wouldn't there be a financial incentive to shut them off, because nobody's allowed to pay for them because of sanctions? Are governments using tax dollars to replace the lost revenue, to keep those fibers open and allow some semblance of freedom of speech (and/or Western propaganda) to reach Russia?

Do the sanctions destroy Russian users' ability to access DRM-protected products they've already bought? For example if you're in Russia and you bought X game on Steam pre-sanctions, is Steam legally required to say "Sorry, because of sanctions I can't let you connect to the DRM server" and the game's existing DRM checks then say "Sorry, since you can't connect to the DRM server you can't play the game"?

> Obviously these modules serve a purpose, otherwise the repositories would not have hundreds-to-thousands of github stars/forks, and people would not be arguing about a license change on the front page of HN.

Have you worked with the modules in question? If you have, please enlighten me to the obvious purpose that they serve. As I pointed out, I've worked with them extensively, and worked on comparable configurations that avoid them, and they create many problems (the wrappers introduce their own churn due to version updates, and often have mistakes in their interpretation of the underlying resources, etc) while solving virtually none. Several orgs I've worked for actually ban these and similar external modules due to these problems.

It's telling that the only substantive reply I received merely points out the number of stars rather than actually explaining why people should use these wrappers.

You're attacking a straw man. No one is saying the invasion of Iraq was justified.

One major difference is the motivation for the war. Putin wants to return to USSR borders, which is a motivation of conquest. The US did not want to conquer Iraq. It is not the 51st state.

Another is the regime that existed. Ukraine was a peaceful democracy. Iraq was not. Hussein killed many thousands of Iraqis, too.

The invasion of Iraq was a series of war crimes that should never have happened, but Bush was not nearly as authoritarian as Putin and Hussein is not Zelensky.
There is significant friction between the water and the tube that needs to be accounted for. The longer the tube, the more friction there is.
I'm guessing your view of "democratically-elected" includes all of Putin's wins but doesn't include Zelenskyy's 2019 success.

Anyway, surely you can see a difference between Putin's puppet fleeing Ukraine in 2014 and Russia sending troops to assassinate Zelenskyy in 2022.
I’ve been playing games recently and I can’t think of cases where I didn’t feel like I got a complete game for $60. Is that a myth that just keeps getting repeated? Or are there specific games where that’s true?

They are optimistic claiming 12 miles/KWh, though not that outrageously given that it is a European small car, smaller/lighter than my Prius. Prius and as i heard Tesla can do 6 miles/KWh at 20-25 miles/hour (when air resistance is very low). Probably your Volt would do it too, we just don't usually drive that slow. My understanding that in Europe even 25-30 km/h is a speed limit one can frequently see.

States are useful little laboratories of democracy in situations like this. California's CCPA was conceived and funded by a lone real estate developer with enormous personal conviction in privacy. Consensus was that his personal crusade would fail until the voters unexpectedly passed the measure in 2018. That kick started data privacy legislation in the US. It would have taken another decade at least for the Feds to be first movers.
I see some confusion about what I am saying. I guess people here aren't familiar with rich young adults flaunting their life style on Instagram? I get the confusion because HN is where people like me try to learn things to improve their wealth. I don't see a lot of people born into it here. Perhaps they keep it quiet.

Rich Kids Of The Internet

https://www.instagram.com/rkoi/?hl=en

The tension you detect is probably some resentment on my part. Resentment about kids in high school who had several dirt bikes, horses and swimming pools and got into Stanford or Harvard with a lot of help that I didn't have. I went to public school (U.C. Berkeley) and I had to work at the same time.

I'll work on letting that go.
> My theory is that NFTs and Bored Apes are a fad of dumb rich kids playing with Mom or Dad's money, which they are given so they stay out of their hair.

I’m guessing it’s bimodal:

On one end: Cryptocurrency whales trading expensive NFTs back and forth as speculative instruments plus some wash trading to pump the prices. The more hype they generate by spending huge money, the more buyers they can entice to join the frenzy.

On the other end: People who can’t really afford to speculate, but who think NFTs are their only chance to get ahead and secure financial independence. This group consumes the doom-and-gloom financial opinions of Reddit, TikTok, and celebrity politicians who tell them that the system is rigged and they’ll never get ahead. Then NFTs come along and suddenly there are stories of people getting fantastically rich by selling terrible JPEGs of monkeys and squiggly lines. It’s such a dumb idea that the boomers won’t understand it and won’t get to it first like they did with the stock market and real estate. It’s a financial asset made to generate wealth for young people! So they pour a lot of money into it, thinking that they’re either going to get rich or be back to square one with a depleted bank account, which is their baseline mental financial state.

When these people buy NFTs, they’re buying dreams. Maybe it fizzles out, or maybe they’re going to get lucky and have enough money to buy a house with cash in a few months. In their mind, it’s a chance they can’t afford to pass up.

The latter group makes me very anxious. Every once in a while I drop into /r/cryptocurrency to check the pulse and see if things are turning around, but it only gets worse every time I look. It’s baffling to see the posters talk about being down 40% on their portfolios but being convinced that it’s all going to turn around and make them retirement-wealthy in just a couple more years.
>The reason you would care about GPU rendering of the UI is mainly for battery life.

It depends on the power draw of the CPU, which for the M1 family is unusually low.

For instance, in today's Mac Studio review, Ars tested the power draw for various systems running a Handbrake encode with the CPUs running wide open.

The plain M1 system was drawing 27 watts.
The M1 Max was drawing 47 watts.
The M1 Ultra was drawing 87 watts.
The PC desktop running Alder Lake unlocked was drawing 300 watts.

>Both the power-unlimited Core i9-12900 and the M1 Ultra performed roughly the same in our Handbrake video-encoding test, and the i9 did even better than the M1 Ultra in a handful of our CPU benchmarks. But measured at the wall, the Core i9 PC was drawing roughly 300 W of power the entire time the encoding task was running compared to the mid-80s for the M1 Ultra.

Yes, but if a called function redefines its own parent, it still returns to the old code, not the new code.
In the creative arts world, every illustrator is being commissioned to create a brand of NFTs to cash in on the trend and very few break into mainstream success. But that doesn't stop people, rich or poor from trying to speculating on them.
It's not succeeding like the dumb people, it's taking advantage of them and their inherited wealth
Think logically about what you're proposing. Hurting people doesn't suddenly make them go "Darn, the rest of the world is hurting us because they don't like our government. I know, let's overthrow our government and become super friendly with the people trying to hurt us!" It leads to extreme antagonism that most frequently trends towards ultra-nationalism and even more extreme hardline stances.

Iran in the 1950s took a relatively anti-western approach towards things and tried to nationalize their own oil. In 1953 we overthrew their democratic secular government and installed an authoritarian (and deeply unpopular) monarchy. In 1979 they then had a genuine revolution and overthrew the US puppet monarchy, and created the Islamic Republic that exists to this day. We'd do anything to go back to 1953 now, but that bridge has long since met the cruise missiles of freedom. And Iran, while perhaps the most colorful illustration because of how we radically transformed the country (against us) in such a short time, is closer to the rule than the exception. Iraq (the only other Shiite majority nation than Iran) is going down the exact same road today.

Actions lead to equal but opposite reactions, not only in physics. This is the reason that in times past you'd have "blood feuds" lasting for centuries. People don't care about your reason for some hostile action, they only care about that action. Start intentionally breaking open source software to try to hurt some group and that group will start doing the exact same thing to you. Won't it be great for open source software when an increasing chunk of pull requests are from people trying their hardest to insert malicious code as subtly as possible, because politics?

> I assume a lot of that is from people that already got rich with crypto in the first place.

I don't think that is a good assumption. I don't know the space that well, but from what I gather, some smart rich people set up a market to suck in dumb rich people.

Poor kids got rich in the 2015 to 18 timeframe on Bitcoin and Ether. I've not familiar with poor kids getting rich on NFTs
"Nature" is arbitrarly defined. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with anything. "Wrong" is a human definition. "Nature" is perfectly fine with wood and plastic piling up for eternity without decomposition if no organism happens to evolve to do so. "Nature" is fine with human genocide. "Nature" is fine with a nearby supernova or asteroid destroying all life on earth.

The point is that from a human perspective, and from the perspective of most multicellular organisms, plastics discarded into the environment are a really bad thing for our health.
I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

The license for these NFTs is posted here (commercial use is allowed and there's no monetary cap): https://boredapeyachtclub.com/#/terms

From an uninformed point of view, it seems to be granting a license to the NFT holders to use Yuga Labs LLC's property.

Is there anything stopping Yuga Labs from changing/revoking the license? What happens if Oracle buys Yuga Labs?

Hmm, for web forms this has been overcomplicated for the past decade...without needing to worry about security even.

In a trusted world, you still need to worry about order of operations, resource exhaustion, and redundant resiliency...as these are forms of addl complexity perhaps we should get rid of the internet itself...

Distributed systems localize all complexity and don't suffer the same sorts of security issues... The answer to "who is this" is still a problem if only we could program based upon how they behave versus who they are...

In a world where components themselves acted independently of their masters intentions, you might be able to make this work. Computers would have to act very differently, almost self computing systems.

Perhaps what I'm describing is a world run by robots, and so in the absence of proof they would treat us better than we do ourselves, perhaps a bit of consistent pain is worthwhile.

Intel also have huge cash cows in x86 market, for at least another 5 - 8 years.
What you're missing is how many millionaires/billionaires have been made in crypto. Spending small fractions of your stupid internet money everyone spent the last decade telling you was going to fail any day now, to buy a stupid monkey picture everyone is telling you will fail any day now, starts to look reasonable. Not to mention the venture capital firms with billions to hand out, throwing money at anyone who can make up a whitepaper and ensuring there are vast amounts of money flowing around.
Like a CD or DVD or indeed software license then. I am not surprised.
Mercifully, I had nothing to do with tape drives then, much horror later. And shortly after we converted from the DEC10 to a couple of IBM 4381s, who's backup regimes I simply did not want to know about - fingers in ears and screaming. But I did like them and wrote a distributed printing system for them in Rexx.
> in Linux we either have all or nothing (root vs user)

And it's not like non-root user is nothing. I, as a user, can of course access and edit files on my $HOME directory. But it's insane that a transitive dependency of a dev dependency that has been installed without even my knowledge can have by default the same permissions to access and override any file on my $HOME directory.

ii and iii sound revocable if the country Yuga Labs is in puts sanctions against the NFT owner.

Somebody else owns the IP regardless of who owns the NFT, but you're saying that the license is also separate from the NFT?
They are still NFTs (arguably the first well-known NFTs), as they follow the ERC-721 token protocol.

Saying pigs are smart as a human six years old sounded pretty crazy so I looked it up. Mostly I see claims that they are comparable to a human three year old. A six year old can hold basic conversations, they are starting to learn how to read and write, starting basic arithmetic. No way pigs are even close to six year old.

You say, whiloe going through the same calculations as Thunderf00t makes, to make the same points he makes. Including: how it is possible to do it, how dehumidifiers exist, what humidity means, how far out the Fontus design sizes were from being practically workable. 49cfm assuming you get solar power 24/7. Double or triple that to get it through while the sun is shining. I happened to see this[2] video of someone who put solar water generators on his house and reviewed it after a year. Check out from time 2:06 we can hear the fans running and see how "barely noticable" they are. (Insignificant power compared to refrigeration, I agree with). Said review video also includes a complaint about the water being unpleasantly warm to drink, because the whole system is on the roof of their house in the sun and the pipes all get warm.

> "Around here supply chains are so unreliable that I'd hate to rely on a weekly delivery from a water tanker in order to not die of thirst in 48 hours."

This comment is weird because I imagine you don't actually right now have a solar-water-dehumidifier providing water for your family so that you don't die in 48 hours when your water supply fails? If not, why not?

I agree on Australian drivers.

I’m neutral on Australian urban speed limits, they are similar to parts of the UK. However the standard of driving in the urban speed limits in AU is far poorer, the lower limit the more aggressive the driving gets. Australian drivers are aggressive, tailgate, no lane discipline, if you are a pedestrian/cyclist you are in the way and Australian drivers make it known speeding up, getting close, not giving way. The speed limit doesn’t seem to be the issue, the attitude does.

Non urban speed limits seem lower in AU, the flow of traffic generally on the highway seems lower in AU. The UK most people do 80mph on the motorway (limit is 70mph), AU limit is 110km/h (68mph) and most drivers do 100km/h with those speeding doing 120km/h (just under 75mph). Regardless of AU flow of traffic feeling slower on the highway, I’ll almost always see people lane hogging, tail gating, under taking, cutting people up and feel far more at risk than driving in the uk/eu where people are driving faster, but more considerately
