This makes it sort of iffy for software when software patents exist unless coupled with some kind of patent waiver or assertion of not holding and not being aware of patents. While you can argue with MIT-0/0BSD/whatever else there might be that there is an implied patent license, there is an explicit non-license for patents with CC0.

I really can't blame them for doing it, when everyone around you appears to be in a mad gold rush then it makes sense to start selling shovels. At least if you get stuck with a bunch of shovels you can't sell, you can start a landscaping business or a farm. With crypto not so much.
Sounds like Agile
But still it is hard to evaluate from your comment. Maybe we need more than one analogy.
Attacked by what? Russia's army? What's left of it will be needed to keep Russia from imploding, there isn't going to be much spare capacity to go and prop up friendly dictators. Let's see what happens next time the Belarusians protest. One reason Lukashenko won't join the war is that he knows it will be the straw that breaks the camels back and there won't be enough Russian troops to prop him up.
Finland, you had Kekkonen because he was seen as a safe and strong option for standing up to the USSR. Kaz had Nazarbayev for decades because he happened to be the Soviet in charge when the USSR collapsed, and never held a free or fair election. I guess there are similarities in terms of the backdrop against which change comes (the change in threat level presented by the USSR/Russia), but beyond that, I think it superficial.

That said, I know little about Finnish politics.
>where rectangle is a genus of the species square

Wrong battle, I know, but to nitpick the species is more likely quadrilateral.
This is pure crackpot drivel. Cyclopean ruins were covered in my high-school Art History textbook, there's certainly no cover-up. The lack of discussion is simply because we know nothing about the culture that created them - yet there are countless historical cultures we know even less about, because they didn't leave any impressive stone buildings behind.
Maybe you should lookup what the infowars crowd did to the parents of the kids who died at Sandy Hook.

>>take into consideration global trade and future mishaps and not just do lip service like "never again".

Yes, and the way we have to take it into account includes

* Recognizing that the grand and noble experiment has been done. We tested the great idea that trade and engagement with autocracies would lead to freedom and democracy for their subjects. that experiment as been a resounding FAILURE. We proved the opposite - trade and exchange with autocracies leads only to stronger autocracies.

* Trade with China was a strategic blunder of historic proportions. While the West thought we were exploiting their cheap labor, CCP was exploiting our myopic focus on quarterly profits and gaining strategic technology, chokeholds on strategic supply chains, and the ability to insert corrupted tech into our supply chain. While Europe thought they were exploiting plentiful Russian NatGas to boost their economy, Russia was exploiting our myopia to gain a coercive hold on democratic governments — and so this minute, the necessary purchase of gas to heat German homes directly pays for the bombs and bullets used to kill Ukrainian civilians and children.

* The arc of history has now been largely stripped of the 19th-20th century ideologies; these merely obscured the fact that the real battle is autocrats and people who want to live in self-determining liberal democracies. Now, it is clearly and deeply true that you are either helping liberal democracies, or helping autocracy.

This is now really World War III, only hot in a few spots, but the question is whether democracy can survive, or we will all live under one or another autocracy.

The only choice is to as rapidly as possible disengage and cut off all autocracies from all economic engagement. Yes, this will really suck for the subjects of those autocracies. Their only hope of democracy will be to escape or overthrow their govt, and for prosperity, well,the history of autocracies for long-term prosperity is not good.

If we fail to rapidly cut these ties that empower autocracies, we will all soon be subjects of autocracy.

Better to die standing and fighting for freedom than to live on your knees.
Ukraine will rebuild and come back stronger, Russia will not be able to,they are a dying regime and a dying country.
Well, getting people to change what they use takes time. And it’s hard to compete with big players.

> One has to wonder, what event would restore trust in competent and benign government? Is there such a thing as therapy for a whole culture?

The medicine is called healthy democracy. It requires free press, informed citizenship, schools to teach critical thinking...

So what do you mean by 'Year of the Linux Desktop'? Because functionality-wise, the Linux desktop has been superior to all competitors since the early days of KDE3.

I did buy myself a Vaio P back in the day, and artificially contrived as many excuses to use it as possible, replaced Vista with LXDE to eke everything possible out of that Atom and 2gigs.

From that I learned how not useful they are, and when I see darling things like the GPD or ClockworkDev, I ask what job I would do with it that isn't already served better by my laptop or phone, and the lack of answer always results in the same conclusion, I never buy the the darling toy any more.

> The theory seems to rest on the idea that because AGI has a perfectly observable mechanical substrate, it will be possible to analyze and understand the fundamental causes of intelligence and thus improve upon it - a relatively simple matter of a software upgrade.

I've never thought of it this way, that AGI will necessarily develop because it beyond some point picks up understanding about itself and then intentionally improves.

I rather see it this way: the development of AGI is in the beginning rather unintentional. It will just be the result of a system dynamic that is more stable than other dynamics.
Evolution isn't intentional either, is it? It's coincidence and randomness, trial and error, and dynamically more stable beings outlive other less stable beings.

Stability appears to me to somewhat correlate with complexity. More complex beings having more ability to adapt and thus be able to survive in a greater set of conditions.

As soon as the complexity of a beings information processing - which is mostly represented through number of brain cells and links (in biology) and number of artificial neurons (in AI) - goes into a dynamic of growth (like a positive feedback loop), I'd say it's pretty much on the pathway to AGI. Provided, the being isn't physically limited to a degree of complexity that's just too low.
I think you're still going to bump up against scaling issues with this solution. Youtube has something like 500hrs of new content uploaded to it every minute, and I've heard speculation that this solution couldn't possibly be solved by humans because there simply isn't enough of us on earth.

In a way I sympathize with Google, Youtube, Facebook and all the other companies operating as mass scale. On the one hand their algorithms suck for moderation, but on the other hand they are the most advanced created yet and there is simply no alternative. I would imagine in the next 10-15 years the players will get moderation under control and be able to model AI to moderate fairly. But that's going to be a slow process because there isn't any alternative to AI in this case, at least how I see it.
Trading songs on the blockchain sounds like a reasonable idea until you realize any MP3 player that would enforce ownership needs DRM now, which it must either enforce by downloading the blockchain periodically, or periodically talking to some untrustworthy music-industry server that purports to interpret the blockchain but could shut down instead.
That attack would still be unwarranted.
That's revisionist history, smart contracts did not come until way later. And smart contracts are also not anything remarkable, nor are they trusted or or even desirable. They are the equivalent to stored procedures in any other database, except bugs in them allow people to steal money straight out of your bank account with no recourse.

This is why these discussions of blockchains are so frustrating to me. Do you think your bank couldn't allow you to upload random code into their internal database? On a purely technical level of course they could, it wouldn't even be that hard. But there are many, many reasons why they shouldn't and they don't.
P10k is one of those revelations that feels “next generation”. Trying to back to anything else is very painful for me, even things that are supposed to be “fast” like starship.
There's no need to "critically analyze the complex geopolitical situation" when one state is being invaded by another. That's like asking for "critically analyzing road safety" when someone is being rushed into the ER after a car accident. Leave the irrelevant for later when you have some leisure time, should you wish to spend it that way. Treat the accident victim before he bleeds out.
I think you read too much into what I wrote.

Louis gave up his power voluntarily (to an extent, the kingdom was bankrupt and he had to make concessions) by accepting a constitutional monarchy. He bumbled his way to the scaffold afterwards, and he only got there because he had already accepted sharing authority with an elected legislature.

Many other monarchs gave up their "divine" rights under pressure, but without being really overthrown.

> The Wilkinson ADC is based on the comparison of an input voltage with that produced by a charging capacitor. The capacitor is allowed to charge until a comparator determines it matches the input voltage. Then, the capacitor is discharged linearly. The time required to discharge the capacitor is proportional to the amplitude of the input voltage. While the capacitor is discharging, pulses from a high-frequency oscillator clock are counted by a register. The number of clock pulses recorded in the register is also proportional to the input voltage.

The capacitor is discharged using a resistor of known value.

Also take it down to the comparator level which basically all ADC use the op-amps use transistors and resistors and are themselves dissipating the input power in order to measure voltage.

The word transistor is a contraction of transfer resistance, they are electronically variable resistors and as everyone knows dissipate power as heat during function.
Hi, I’m the author of the post.

While it’s a bit early to make right conclusions, we already have some learnings and outcomes. We do see increase in overall happiness and mood in the team, knowledge is shared more effectively and we started slowly to break silos. Another interesting side-effect seems to be that regardless people collaborate on particular problem or not, disagreements somehow got easier to resolve, as we understand each other better.
Another interesting change is that we need less synch meetings.

So far the biggest challenge is respecting individuals preferences, as the more people collaborate together, the more it becomes implicit expectation, whereas not everyone wants to do it, or some days you want some others not. So making sure that we don’t get pulled to any extreme is very important. Time zone differences is another challenge, sometimes because energy level really differs and its hard to find the harmony working together.

The are actually two Serbian states: the independent Serbia with Belgrade as it’s capital and Republika Srpska (a constituent state in Bosnia and Hercegovina).

While I’m not denying that there was some collusion between the two, they largely operated as independent entities. The Srebrenica massacre was perpetrated by Srpska forces while the war in Kosovo was waged by Republika Srbija which as a separate event that happened a few years later.

And let’s not pretend that local Serbians weren’t also targets of ethnic cleansing during both conflicts (no I’m not trying to imply in any way that I support what Serbian armies died because of that)
>But I believe that healthcare that is accessible, that support for people struggling with poverty, and decent education, is best provided coherently, at scale, by an organisation that works at a societal scale, like, say, a government.

Your private beliefs aside, this isn't currently borne out in the US. The idea is attractive and sounds plausible, but now rarely works at scale without enormous inefficiency. Provide objective examples of your success stories, please.

Private charity's weakness is that it is non-uniform. Government charity's weakness is inefficiency. The former likely gives more but to fewer people. The latter should reach more people, but likely gives less to each. Which works best to get the most resources to those in need is debateable.

Democracies vs autocraties is a false, made-up conflict in order to manufacture public consent and paint 'our' side as, of course, the good guys on a moral and disinterested level.

The conflict is, and has always been, one of competing interests and geopolitical power-struggle among countries. If China becomes a democracy overnight none of the sticking points will disappear, for instance, because none of them are caused by the difference in political regimes between China and the West.
The employees at this Amazon warehouse just _did_ elect to unionize. This is the free market at work. If Employers can't be trusted to treat their employees fairly, or if their employees can't earn a living wage, and if the employee's government is doing nothing to help (raising minimum wage), then who is to say the employees can't band together and demand higher pay? Even if unions never actually materialize, just the _threat_ of a union should be enough to wake up company leadership and make them say "oh shit, maybe we should treat our employees better".

I understand unions have caused problems in the past. They've caused huge problems, and have had to be scaled back. But that's exactly the balance I'm talking about. We're just swinging on the pendulum towards workers rights at this time. I'm 100% sure if more unions spring up, we'll be hearing horror stories about work stoppages and companies shutting down product lines. But we hear plenty of horror stories about companies mistreating employees right now. We're just riding the free market pendulum.

It doesn't exactly get me out of my seat to think that Amazon might have to make a little less profit, or pay their executives $50 million less next year, or hell, even that prices might rise a little, if it means the free market is actually at work. In an ideal world the pendulum would stop swinging, and we would be in the middle forever. That should theoretically be the job of our government. But I don't see that happening any time soon.
Yeah, that's more or less how I feel about it as well. I would even go further and say that the existence of the open world makes the Legacy Dungeons worse. It's quite unfortunate because in terms of visual design and architecture, they're some of From's best work; however, they tend to be full of the same enemies you've already fought multiple times in the open world, taking away from the feeling of venturing into the dangerous unknown that I personally find so compelling about these games.

It's also unfortunate that this looks like a game with a lot of build variety, that would really lend itself to multiple playthroughs, but actually playing through the content again sounds like a pain. Going through the wiki and making a list of places I actually need to go is not my idea of a good time.
Yes (unless you mean "falsifiable" in a very strict logical sense).

Any theory that requires millions of people to systematically lie and hide evidence, with little to gain, across the whole world, and for many decades, is extremely unlikely.

Do you have any specific examples you can share?

PNG should not be able to compress noisy images well, because noise removes patterning. JPEG obviously can, but exactly because it is lossy.
Digital receivers which are in cellphones are most certainly based on A/D convertors which is what you originally referenced. All captured antenna energy is dissipated as heat through resistance in order to extract useful information and convert it into the digital domain.

Even in a analog receiver the power amplifiers used to drive a speaker or whatever are going to dissipate the signals power as heat in order to modulate the amplifiers output power (out power will always be less than power supply power).

If you are talking about a crystal radio, then yes the input power drives a speaker and is turned into sound instead (along with some power lost heat in the circuits resistance).
This analogy is confusing. In Ukraine I get the impression there was only one foreign aggressor: Russia. And the 2014 revolution overthrowing the old ruler was to push back against their influence.

And because of the aggressor's response (annexation, mercenaries, un-uniformed troops) Ukraine themselves sought security guarantees from other partners.

You can’t actually trade rubles anywhere. Russia has gone from a relatively liberal currency with normal interest rates to one of the strictest currency control regimes in the world and 20% interest rates.

Russia is bankrupting itself to prop that number up and if they let up for even a week the currency flight would crater the exchange rate.
There is a crowd-sourced effort to "index" (create textual copies of the information) in the images sponsored by FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/1950census/ They will make the images and data searchable and available for free (free registration required).

That's why I think conspiracy theories can be a threat to democracy. They try to convice people that the free and open societies that they live in, are actually not free and open. Some of them can be right (e.g. Snowden leaks), but personally I think what we currently have is better than the alternatives. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The only thing that really seems to be true about all of this is Blockchain indeed is a huge innovation simply because of its ability to create decentralized trust. Full stop. Web3/crypto tech is currently going through the "Peak of Inflated Expectations" of the Gartner Hype Cycle, and once things settle down and get a little bit more boring, Blockchain applications will find their niche and prove their value in ways we didn't necessarily expect.
Thing is I wouldn't want any of the people from the project to see this thread. This is exactly the wrong way to discuss project work of young people. At that age what to a grown adult seems like mild criticism can seem 1000x worse to the person.

This is easily an area where HN should not tread at all if it can't get that right.

Edit-clarified sentence
No problem, I'll update my comment.
It’s not just old money that this affects - I’ve noticed that new money, once it achieves a certain degree of security (i.e. enough that you don’t have to work, you won’t lose it or find your needs not met bar some catastrophic world-ending or life-ending circumstance), adopts much the same values. I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by wealth and privilege of various different flavours, and you can practically smell the haves and the have-nots - the latter tend to really care, and conspicuously so, about conventional status ladders. The former… give the appearance of not caring about status at all. It isn’t that they don’t, it’s just that they know they’re at the top of the economic tree, and don’t feel the need to compete in that dimension. The well-read/educated thing is more of a status derived from demonstrating how little you care about conventional status ladders, and the less you care, the higher your status, as if you care so little you must be very secure indeed.
> I wish GitHub had a better way of distinguishing repositories … from "projects" (repos I'd want people to check out if they're interested in seeing what I've worked on).

GH doesnt do this because they want to be “social” and, because most people don’t actually contribute to a large number of other projects, this helps beef up peoples’ profiles.

I agree with you that this creates a lot of chaff (I almost typed “spam“) in your profile. It’s dumb that some random library I once submitted a fix to (via a PR) will sit around.

I suppose the saving graces are this causes you to write a little narrative on your profile page, and also does show hippy he breadth of your interests and experiences.

But the urge to make everything some kind of social network experience is a pain.
