The diver was not a hero. He was an somebody that himself did little, and pushed himself into the media where he actually started insulting Musk and his team.

He created a false narrative about what Musk and his team of engineers (literal rocket engineers) were doing. Musk and his engineers had coordinated with the actual rescue team and the Mini-Sub they build was according to specification from the diving team who suggested they were not sure if the youngest and smallest child could be rescued with the conventional method they were planning.

The media of course presented this as Musk comes in and advocates for his own method of saving everybody and the 'hero' was a guy who pushed himself into the cheap sensationalist media by attacking Musk. The sensationalist media of course simply ran with that and were just to happy to publish anything negative about Musk.

That was of course during a time when Tesla was having challenges scaling and the 'Musk is a total idiot' storyline was getting lots of clicks.

In all, sure, Musk did something stupid but he didn't start it. He had never said anything bad about either this guy or the diving team. He had in fact done the opposite and expressed that it was good that their alternative solution in the end wasn't required.

But I guess anybody who pushes himself into the media who to insult Musk must be a hero.
Wow. Congratulations on getting through that, all of you. That must have been harrowing. One of my children was born with a slight problem: he stopped breathing every couple of minutes and then turned blue and was quite far on the way out before we caught it the first time. Apparently there is some kind of O2 sensing mechanism that is supposed to be activated during delivery or immediately after causing the breathing reflex and it wasn't. It took 12 days to normalize, with lots of excursions, oxygen alarms and one very close call. All that time he spent in a neonatal ICU unit and I'm not exaggerating that it was the longest two weeks of my life. He's 12 now and like yours you'd never know.

What you and yours have gone through makes all that pale in comparison, I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like. And then to see him now as a four year old perfectly normal kid, that must be really special.

I think that's the point. I for one will be celebrating the death of Twitter if Musk manages to pull it off, as I think it is one of the worst parts of our modern world and is actively making the world a worse place.
Only way to not get HIPPA involved is to shutdown all computers and move everything to paperwork
>Does using and verifying multiple hash functions help?

Technically yes, but it takes extra time to hash something twice and it will take extra storage to store 2 hashes. This trade off is not really worth it compared to just using a good hash function alone.
Our entire ecosystem is driven by recycling matter over and over as different species eat it, are eaten, die, decompose, repeat. Any competing mirror image ecosystem would be starved of resources, including achiral resources.

This recent HN discussion has a lot of information about the reliability of optical discs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30888906

My main comment has some hard numbers based on my own experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30889474

In short: 77% of the discs I ripped after ~15-18 years had minor issues as demonstrated through read errors (when ripping with ddrescue) and checksums (in png, zip, and gz files; I did not manually checksum files back in the day). I was able to rip 99.88% on the worst disk, and I estimate that about 97% of the files are intact on that disk. CDs and optical discs more broadly seem to be reasonable, but I'm not really sure they'll be in good shape after 30 years. I'd consider them part of a backup strategy, not an entire backup strategy. I personally use a combination of external (magnetic) hard drives, flash drives, and optical discs for backups. Replacing the optical discs after 10 years or so seems prudent, as is redundancy and/or par2 files.
Not all VPN providers are harmful. You have to do your homework.

I will confess that there aren't many good ones left, however.

They don't really interfere. If you want to be data-mined by Google you're free to do so. That's what those cookie forms are for.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but nextcloud constantly somehow manages to corrupt data it is storing locally. Its only user is an android backup agent.

Is there something that's, say, 1% as complicated as nextcloud that can sync multiple devices without giving a cloud provider access to cleartext (while also keeping an encrypted backup in the cloud)?
Whenever you say how long something takes, you need to specify how much computing power is used to achieve it in that duration (FLOPS or whatever appropriate unit). Then you see what it costs to manufacturer and operate the device that operates at that speed. Then you spend double to have 2 such devices and parallelize the job, completing it in half the time. Repeat that last part until the time is reasonable (TFA is all about this). It doesn't break down until you exceed the available natural resources and our ability to put them to work.
Why not? It's a cloud service that stores files, can pretend to have directories, and for which there exist multiple utilities to mount the thing as a local file system. What's the shortcoming?
What a dumb ass comment. As if it was easy to start and lead major technology companies for decades.

Even if you want to go with the idiotic 'he is not an engineer'-storyline to make yourself feel good, as a business man his credentials are literally unassailable.

To downplay business success as 'hired some smart people' is just ridiculous and utterly sad and depressing to read on a page that is hosted on 'ycombinator'. Get a grip and think before you write something.
> Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

I call BS on that “rule”. 25+ years of experience here working on very large C/C++ code bases used by large commercial companies. And I have never ever seen this happen in practice. I know that the often cited “rule” makes some Lisp fans feel all smug and superior. But it doesn’t seem to be based on reality.
I believe the GDPR specifically forbids that sort of configuration. By which I mean, I'm not allowed to deny you service if you aren't happy with consenting to my collection of your data.
Yikes that was hard. To explain to others, the Similarity scores range from -100 to 100, and your goal is to get a similarity score of 100. It says the tenth-nearest has a score of 48-50, that’s a good guide for when you actually have a similar word or not. If you haven’t hit a similarity of at least 50, you’re still close but not there yet. The hints given might not be any good until you hit a similarity in the 40s. Also don’t let guesses with lower similarity scores distract you, the word tends to be a part of, synonym or related word by the time you get to a similarity score in the 50s…
I call recall looking at admissions in Canada way back and they had spots in various programs reserved for First Nations - for example, dental school had 110 spots, with 10 reserved for First Nations.

So not a new concept I guess.
All error correction and detection are designed with an acceptable probability of error in mind, which depends on the medium. For example, if you know cosmic rays might flip 1 in a million bits, and you want your system to have 1 error per trillion bits, then you need to send every bit twice to be able to detect a one-in-a-million error.
Unsoldering a module would be much simpler, if the connection were designed for rework, and modules would be more commoditized.

A simple example is my washing machine that recently died. A mosfet blew on the motor inverter/controller, and obviously took out some other components too. It's silicone-encased, making it infeasible to diagnose and fix compoonent by component. The entire electronics, including psu, mcu, display, buttons, and motor controller are a single unit, and has to be replaced. Since it's specific to the model, it is rare and expensive, and not economical to replace, so the entire machine is now junk, or at best spare parts.

In my fantasy ideal, the motor controller would be a separate board, and fairly standardized to the motor size/design, just like stepper driver boards. The display/ui would be a separate board, since that is a common point of failure. The psu should certainly be a standard board. And the the main control board running the valves etc would again be it's own board. Interfaces and protocols between boards should be standard or at least documented.

Yes, multiple, simpler mcu's. And slightly more material, etc, as you say, though for a washing machine, the added weight of a few electronics hardly matters. But much less custom design, inventory, much more repairable, reusable, upgradeable, hackable, etc.

The washing-machine of Theseus, as it were.

Another example is a toaster oven that recently broke. One of the elements shorted or burned out, it is one of a handful of standard sizes/resistances etc, rather than some custom proprietary design. Nice and modular, just as I want. BUT, the elements are riveted to the rest of the oven, rather than screwed, making a replacement significantly harder, to the point I haven't yet bothered (eg I don't have a metal drill-bit), and I bought a replacement oven (with screwed elements - the search was not trivial). A saving of a couple of cents (riveting vs screwing) for the manufacturer has actually cost me, and the world, much much more. IMHO the repairability of this stuff should be mandated, or at least documented right on the front alongside the energy-efficiency ratings and purchase price, etc.

This is also broadly true in Ireland, (and I presume the UK). Among non-canoeists, 'canoe' can refer to a canoe or kayak, and people refer to "Canadian canoes" when they want to specify an open legged canoe.

(Although sit on top kayaks are usually called as such, confusingly).
I don't trust any consumer storage medium to last 30 years, but the good news is I have had much success keeping document archives accessible for roughly a decade, then transferring the content to current technology. From floppy to mechanical hdd to cd-r to now ssd. Maybe consider something shorter term than 30 years, but with an upgrade path.
They expect you to go move somewhere cheaper where your career prospects are stocking shelves at Walmart or serving food. Maybe if you're lucky, you could get a job for $36k from the one company in a 200 mile radius that's still hiring in your industry, but is on life support and won't be around in a decade. Also, please ignore the fact that its competitors have all gone out of business or left for better prospects in higher CoL areas, as well.

It's not so much a solution as it is a sneering dismissal of real problems that they don't want to hear about anymore.

Car-to-car communication would allow cars to run in dense packs, inches apart, increasing efficiency through the use of drafting. Except for controlled pedestrian crossings, they would never need to use traffic lights or stop for other vehicles: they would flow past one another smooth as butter.

I'd be willing to bet the "hit the countermeasures immediately" reflex was because they were landing. Low altitude, low speed, no ability to maneuver. If somebody was shooting at you in that situation the missile would be on you in seconds and countermeasures are the only chance you have.

In a more normal combat situation there's a lot more human judgement needed in the use of countermeasures. For example if a fighter locks you up and fires a missile from 50 km away and you fire chaff immediately you might temporarily disrupt their lock, but it's likely that the chaff will disperse and they'll be able to re-lock you before the missile gets anywhere close. You can't just fire them off continuously because it's a limited consumable.
If you define socioeconomic status narrowly (gender, race, age, net wealth), then I was wrong to say that the success of European countries is rooted in their socioeconomic status. I'm happy to take that point back, and focus on why I don't think controlling for socioeconomic status is the right analysis.

However, even if the US shows better outcomes when controlling for socioeconomic status, the distribution of people within socioeconomic status is relevant.

If the US has 1000 impoverished people and 10 middle class people, and Germany has 10 impoverished people and 1000 middle class people, the relevant comparison is the German middle class to the US impoverished class.

In other words, you'd want to compare outcomes based on percentiles regardless of socioeconomic status.

Any medium that is stable physically for at least a few decades and can be read optically. Acid free paper with the data machine encoded, laser etched metal, etc. Anything traditional would need to be online (HDD), easily reread and verified over time (tape), or is not recommended (SSD).

It costs the Internet Archive $2/GB to store content in perpetuity, maybe create an account, upload your code as an item, donate $5 to them, and call it a day. Digitally sign the uploaded objects so you can prove provenance in the future (if you so desire); you could also sign your git commits with GPG and bundle the git repo up as a zip for upload.

EDIT: @JZL003

The Internet Archive has their own storage system. I would assume it caps out because they're operating under Moore's Law assumption that cost of storage will continue to decrease into the future (and most of their other costs are fixed). Of course, don't abuse the privilege. There are real costs behind the upload requests, and donating is cheap and frictionless.

Remind me of a scene from The Abyss (movie 1989). The main heroine deliberately enter hypothermia underwater hoping to be revived few moments later and after a apparently hopeless CPR she finally come back from the death.

Turn out this part was actually quite realistic.

The LG monitors that were designed in partnership with Apple, and used to be sold in the physical Apple stores -- those will probably be the closest thing you can get to a decent Apple-compatible monitor without buying a real-deal Apple monitor.

My next step down from there would be Dell, but you've got to do your homework on the different models of Dell monitors.

One thing I will say is that you really want to be using the DisplayPort inputs on your monitors. HDMI is way too heavily encumbered by special interests that want to DRM everything and that almost always has lots of other negative side effects. If you have a more recent machine, then a USB-C to DisplayPort cable would likely be your best bet, but again you've got to do your homework.

The other thing I'd say is that it's probably better to use only monitors from a certain specific manufacturer, and not mix-and-match manufacturers. Things you do to get one monitor from one manufacturer working may interfere with a monitor from a different manufacturer.

Also keep in mind that certain docks or port expanders can also cause problems.
Ah damn that glass thing actually seems really cool. I’ll have to look and see if there’s much info out there about it right now. Ive heard a little bit about very fast lasers (link mentions femtosecond lasers) and was curious what all sort of non-academic uses they see.
It's a good comment, but you left off one important detail on option 3. When choosing the inflation route, there are two ways to inflate the economy by "providing" more dollars.

One option is to provide more money to people/entities that primarily purchase investments/assers. The revenue stream of these investments will roughly remain the same, but their cost will go up permanently. Effecrively increasing "P/E ratios" or equivalent of all assets. This increases inequality in society.

The second option is to provide money to people that primarily purchase goods/services. This increases the demand and thus the price on goods and services, the increased demand pushes up demand for labor, which increases wages and benefits that group. The increased prices of goods/services also increases the value of assets/investments that depend on those revenue streets - but due to the nominal increases in revenues there is no "bubble" increase in "P/E ratios" and equivalent metrics.

2008 did mostly the former and essentially none of the latter.

Covid did a mixture of both, although it coincided with severe supply shortages and oil shocks making its impact unseparable for measuring and not controllable due to the external factors.
> NAND flash retention is much less than 30 years

Hard failures aside, I assume very slow charge decay might be somewhat mitigated by periodically copying files flash-to-same-flash (let alone another) -- or perhaps even rewriting them in place.

Both of you guys who have responded to my comment have been rampaging through this thread with aggressive defenses of Musk. This is not normal behaviour.

If you don't want to consider a man who was instrumental in saving the lives of 12 boys a hero that's fine, there are lots of other adjectives that I'm sure you can find and they're all far more flattering than the one Musk made of himself in that saga.

Take a step back and think about what you're defending here. It's not a good look.

Even though there's a bunch of people (including Carmack) that claim that he's a great engineer, it's really hard to believe when he's put out stuff like this.

Why the 3 days? Is it to lessen the burden on the support staff who do the daily check ups? If I'm eager to subscribe to a service like this it means I want to use it to get stuff done I need to do starting right now, today, not something I need to get done in three days.

They fired him because he had a 10 year business plan to replace banks and become the main monetary system for all payments. A combination of being a bank, an online payment provider and Apple pay.

The other founders wanted to sell the company and make quick cash.

There are lots of words like this and it affects Wordle too. Take SHA_E. You have SHAME, SHARE, SHAVE, SHALE, SHAKE and SHAPE. It's highly likely your earlier guesses haven't eliminated all of these. So what you have to do is recognize this situation and throw in a word with all of the possible missing letters to tell you which one is the right one. Obviously you need 2 guesses left at least for this to work.

But I've found the same applied with Quordle. Recently I had _LARE and even that allows FLARE, GLARE and BLARE. It turns out solving another word (BRINE) eliminated one of the options for free.

I've noticed whoever chooses the word of the day for Worlde likes these types of words. Like I've ended up with S_ILL before leaving SPILL, SKILL, STILL and SHILL.
No one was making surprise attacks against Honolulu in 1940, either. The point of the military is to be credibly prepared for even low likelihood events (which, due to game theory, is what makes them low likelihood in the first place).
That is such an amazing revenge story, intricately plotted with excellent characters.
It’s not relevant. Is anyone expecting him to be the CEO? Far more likely he’s going to appoint competent operators to run Twitter. Whether this is a good outcome for the shareholders is the only germane point up for discussion IMO.
A CNN 2 minute video chopping up what he says to make it sound more grand is not him being a "showman". It's called video editing. You can tell the video has been HIGHLY edited because it's not how he talks.

He doesn't spend a lot of time working on the boring company to be frank. It's a small side project. He's doing it to see if it's possible.
