> Problem with that is the deciders in these states don't reflect the population of the state in general.

Yes, particularly in de facto one party States. There are more Independents than either Democrats or Republicans in the US.

Approximately a third of Republicans are pro-choice and a third of Democrats are pro-life, and they aren't evenly distributed. At the local and State level it isn't a party line vote, the reality is a bit more complex.

> Another problem with that is what if the State's decision is egregious, e.g., slavery is permitted again, Hispanics are not allowed to vote, etc., etc. ?

That's a straw man, not a problem. The 14th Amendment is a thing so that isn't something a reasonable person would worry about.

All States have reasonable laws to a first approximation, after all average people have to live there. There is no State that does not have some laws where one could legitimately argue that they infringe on individual rights. Except maybe Nevada, they don't even have laws for most things.
> Heads up - the GPL is a copyright license, not a contract with users.

A “license” (copyright or otherwise) is either a gratuitous license or a contract, and, while there are some important legal differences, gratuitous licenses are generally enforced under contract principles. So, generally, contract law applies to licenses.

Generally, the FSF and related groups have argued that the GPL is a contract license with mutual consideration, and I believe this has prevailed in some cases (it is possible for it to be true in some cases but not all, since contract depends on specific facts between the parties and not the written terms alone.)

> Ironically, the SFC I think tried to file their case in state court. Copyright law is a federal matter.

One principle of contract law is that the existence of a contract limits parties to action for breach if the terms are violated by the other party, not whatever action they would have on the underlying rights without the contract.
Apologies, but you are completely detached from political reality. Right now, multiple states have passed legislation banning all abortion, period, no exceptions. Texas’s legislation that SCOTUS refused to halt has made it legally perilous to move out of state to get an abortion.

And do you thinkt he cons on the SCOTUS are satisfied with this? They’ll be glad to ban abortion nationwide completely. They’re not gonna leave it to the states.
I would think that making a minimal forth or lisp would be the better path towards that goal, then use that to bootstrap a c compiler.
> The arguments here are very well documented.

What arguments? The parent to my post didn't make an argument, they made a claim unsupported by argument. If the claim is so obvious, it should be simple to post a sentence or two of supporting argument instead of me having to guess what they're talking about.
That's one way to build them, but it's not the only way. They can be built not to need a lot of water, I assume there are some drawbacks.

And it's hardly "vast amounts", it's a small portion of the flow of a small river.

A coal plant also works better with a water source - there's no real difference here, you just need something to cool the steam at the end.

If coal can work in Australia so can nuclear.
Whenever the pro death guys show up, and they always do:
Summary of pro death arguments:

Fairness
Only rich people will get it. (No tech has ever done this.)
Better to give money to the poor than science. (family, city, state, nation, has proven local investment beats foreign.)
Bad for society
Dead people make more room for new, other people. (consider going first.)
Run out of resources (live people discover/extract/renew better than dead or nonexistent)
Overpopulation (colonize the seas, solar system, or have a war.)
Stop having kids
Worse wars (nukes are more dangerous than having your first 220 year old person in 2136)
Dictators never die (they die all the time and rarely of age)
Old people are expensive (50% of your lifetime medical cost occur in your final year. Delay is profitable.)
Old people suck. (death is an inferior cure to robustness.)
Bad for individual
You'll get bored. (your memory isn't that good, or your boredom isn't age related)
You'll have to watch your loved ones die. (so you prefer they watch you?)
You'll live forever in a terrible state. (longevity requires robustness.)
Against gods will (not if he disallows suicide, then it is required.)
People will force you to live forever (they aren't able to do this now, why would they begin to be?)

Do you think less people make progress faster? What's your target level of depriving life of existence? How do you plan to keep mankind robust from extinction events on a single planet? You might just need more people. What do you think our technology would look like if we had 10x less people for the last 100 years?
More people make more progress faster. Aren’t you glad your parents didn't decide the world would be prettier or work better without you in it? If great minds like Einstein, Bell, Tesla, Da Vinci etc., were still alive and productive today, the world would be a better place. You're literally asking for others to die out of your fear. The burden should be higher. Have courage. If living longer comes with too many disadvantages, we'll know 100 years from now and decide then.

Man up, save your family, save yourself.

P.S. Curing aging isn't immortality. You die at 600 on average by accident, and if the parade of imaginary horrible things comes true, even earlier.

P.P.S. I personally raised $27M for longevity research (SENS.org).
We have to deal with externalities somehow. If the price of damage to the environment isn’t priced in, the market will do nothing to solve it.

Now, how do you see the current Lisp landscape compared to your experience back in the 80s? Where are the good opportunities for Lisp nowadays?
Hopefully they'll take a holistic approach - from processor to memory to disk to kernel to application. India should have players in every aspect of technology.

They should also invest more in research. Why does india have less supercomputers than sweden? Does this mean that india is doing less research in some aspects than a country of just 10 million people?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500

India is not and has not been living up to its potential. But as has been shown in the US, Japan, China, etc, all it takes is political will and political stability and you can make significant strides in just one generation.

The right to repair software on devices is just as if not more important than the right to repair devices themselves. Indeed, it is often the software on the devices that blocks repairing devices themselves. Look up the stuff about American farmers using hacking tools to be able to fix their tractors full of sophisticated electronics. Or Apple requiring pairing between parts of the iPhone.
Isn't that a good thing? Text should be selectable and copyable by default, since that does not induce any harm whether the user do it or not, but the reverse is not true.

The number of times a Windows UI shows me an non-copyable error code is vastly greater than the number of times I wish I cannot select any text (which is zero).

Studies of voting behavior have consistently shown that Independents who vote vote either as consistently Republican or as consistently Democrat as, respectively, self identified Republicans and Democrats.

There's this really cool invention called the bucket. It lets you recapture steam as it re-condenses.

My favorite feature in recent iOS is that you can defeat that CSS property by taking a screenshot and letting the phone OCR the image, then copy paste from the result.

Disabling copy is abused by all sorts of apps. (Yelp street addresses are a prime offender.).

I’m not convinced allowing it to be disabled is a net positive.
They ruled that the government doesn't have the right to force people to wear masks. The parallel would be deciding that the government doesn't have the right to force people to get abortions - which, if it ever came to that, I'm pretty sure the court would in fact rule.
A recent comment from LWN on that note:

https://lwn.net/Articles/893608/

I asked about this on their IRC channel and got this response from oriansj:

Well we did bootstrap a FORTH from hex: https://github.com/oriansj/stage0/blob/master/stage2/forth.s

and we did bootstrap a garbage collecting Lisp from hex: https://github.com/oriansj/stage0/blob/master/stage2/lisp.s

but if you notice: https://github.com/oriansj/stage0/blob/master/stage2/cc_x86....

writing a C compiler in assembly that supports structs, unions, arrays, inline assembly and a bunch more was done in less than 24 hours by an inexperienced C programmer. Who then after started doing bootstrapping speed runs to demonstrate how trivial of a problem it is to implement that level of functionality in a C compiler.

In the decades for which Lisp and FORTH existed, why didn't they solve such a trivial problem?

Or better yet, now that you can see how it is done. Could anyone actually produce a C compiler with the same level of functionality in Lisp or FORTH in the same amount of time (or less?).

It is easy to talk a big game and words are cheap, we have the entire cc_* family of C compilers written in assembly for multiple architectures and in even cross-platform arrangements. If your language was any good at bootstrapping you'd be able to beat that. Then show your language written in less lines of assembly than cc_x86 to prove the point.

Please prove me wrong with working code.

Assembly and C have working code good enough to bootstrap GCC+Guile+Linux for more than a year now. https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix

It is time for Lisp and FORTH to either deliver or learn to stop talking about something they never were good at in the first place and learn to admit Assembly and C won not because "worse is better" but because objectively they are better languages for bootstrapping new and better tools.
way way more :)

I'm getting used to seeing anti-Apple rants on HN based on very flimsy connections, but this one is egregious: the man's wrongful conviction, the struggle to exonerate himself, and his final justification and liberty have nothing to do with Apple or any 'mistaken' technological evidence, but actually the reverse.

If he'd been carrying a device (back in 1990) that could have located him away from the scene of a crime, then it would have been a help and not a hindrance to his case.
You said:

... and apparently you don't care that there was an alternative that would already be producing a lot of power? Because it doesn't matter how much money you think could have built reactors, the reactor-building community is screwed up.
When I look at anti Disney art like in this article, I find it ineffective and just weird how they still use Mickey Mouse. Sure he’s still the mascot like Mario to Nintendo. But when you look at what Disney really is now, he doesn’t represent a whole lot. I don’t think a lot of kids even know what he is. It’s like using Woody Woodpecker to represent Comcast.
OK that’s a straight up nightmare. Really cool thinking under pressure.
I am not an opponent of abortions in general. I find it very hard to find a line when it's acceptable. Killing a 9 month old fetus is clearly evil to me (it's no different than killing a newborn), and killing a day old fetus is clearly not evil to me. The line is somewhere in between.

Your question about raising them doesn't affect me much. We have families who want to adopt, we have state facilities. It's clearly a better way to spend tax dollars than some overpriced military crap.
> try Harlan Ellison’s Neither Your Jenny Nor Mine

If you're referring to having to get an illegal abortion, the Mississippi law under review in this case does not make abortion illegal until after 15 weeks of pregnancy (and even then there are exceptions like the health of the mother). 15 weeks is more than enough time to get a legal abortion. (Note also that the abortion clinic that challenged the Mississippi law only provides abortions up to 16 weeks of pregnancy anyway, so we're only talking about a difference of one week in the time women have to get an abortion.)
For MTB, trail forks is far and away the leading source of quality trail (segment?) Data.

Pupil Labs have their code on github (you can also use it with none pupillabs cameras :). It's python and easy to change /extend.
here's the repo:
https://github.com/Pupil-Labs/Pupil

Check also the branches and who forked it ... there are a lot of experimental eyetracking and other algs implemented.

We already used them for a lot of research projects (implementing smooth pursuit interactions and similar).

>literally every textbook on negotiations

Aside: can you recommend the best ones? Getting to Yes is all I've read, but it seems a little 'fluffy'. I want something more rigorous, perhaps with game theory and models.
I see the author's point, but I think the discussion is moot if you add nice syntax for explicitly handling `nils`.

So the author's example:

lastNumber := person office phone lastNumberDialed asString.

Could maybe look something like

lastNumber := person? office? phone? lastNumberDialed? asString.

Now you have neither "message eating" nor "exception throwing" nil. And the programmer is in control of what happens if other behavior is desired.
> Unless they literally translate all html features to native components but I seriously doubt it.

React Native doesn’t use HTML. It has its own set of base tags (eg 'Text', 'Image', 'ScrollView') that are then translated to native components.

(Though, to complicate matters further, 'React Native for Web' exists, and translates those into HTML tags https://necolas.github.io/react-native-web/docs/ )
It’s fairly essential for things like buttons and tabs that get tapped all the time and have mostly non-content text. But it does need to be used sparingly
In terms of current chips they're the best part of a decade away. You can't buy a RISC-V processor competitive with a good arm chip let alone an X86 or a really good arm chip like M1

Current cores, however, are fairly competitive in terms of perf per MHz, but this has to be taken with a grain of salt because the proof is in the taste not the ingredients.
I do not like their upgrade solution being "reinstall the OS".

That’s incredibly unrealistic in this case. All the conservatives could die satisified the day after this decision is final. They’d have served their ultimate purpose to the cause to which they dedicated their entire lives. This is the one thing they were put on the court to do.

Desalination does not use heat anymore, it's all membrane based.

Also, you'd need enough heat to boil water, but the waste heat, by definition, is lower than the boiling point of water (otherwise the turbine doesn't work).

That is an interesting idea. The fact that they are characterizing the toxicity of the language relative or other LLMs gives it some credibility. That being said, I just don’t see where the ROI would be in something like that. Seems like a lot of expense for no payoff.

My (unasked for) advice would be to take the 10x engineer stuff off your page. It may be true, but it signals the opposite. Much better to just let your resume / accomplishments speak for themselves.
Tell me more about these radical pro-abortion groups of which you speak. I’d really love to know if there’s an equivalent to the violent murderers on the right wing.
The waste heat from a power plant (any kind), is not hot enough to make steam, unless you deliberately make it less efficient.

They gave a reason why they didn't release it to the public, they said it was too dangerous: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/14/elon-musk...

> It reads like an incredible conspiracy theory that the makeup of the court has been engineered.

It's not a conspiracy theory or a theory at all. You just had to listen and watch what they were doing for the past 20 years. It's not a conspiracy to have a long term project that you telegraph to everyone by campaigning on it. That's called a political platform. It's not some shadowy thing they've done in private; they've done it in the open, slowly, but deliberately. I don't think this is even a question, so I'm surprised you're pushing back on that point unless you don't pay attention to politics. I'm not giving them credit for anything they haven't already taken credit for.

And although I say engineering, it wasn't something they could entirely control. But what they did do was exercise power in pretty craven ways to end up at this 6/3 split (I'm thinking precisely of McConnell holding a seat open with the argument that the people should decide through the upcoming election; and then filling the next vacancy at lightning speed despite being even closer to an election than the last opening).

> I'm willing to bet that even the most conservative poster on this site would not be against gay marriage.

Missing from this site are the fervently religious conservatives. The objection isn't grounded in reason. They're the ones who don't want gay marriage, and they're also actually in power right now in many places. This opinion is a testament to that.

> The law and rulings should be made without bias of public pressure

This presumes that the actors on the court are apolitical and the opinion is grounded firmly in law and logic. I'm still reading the full opinion but my feeling so far is... not positive on that front.
So what happens if Putin loses?
In what way is the price is _____ not a quote? If there is a doubt about acceptance you send a follow up email ... which they did and got clarification that the offer wouldn't be accepted as such.

RISC-V cores are about 4 years behind ARM. So most they are most suitable for embedded systems and single board computers at the moment.

At the lower end they have a big advantage as they can reach similar performance as Arm at half the silicon which translates into 4x lower price at similar volume of production.

But for high-end chips you will not see this difference.

SiFive has caught up about 2 years each year. So I suspect it will not work 3-4 years before RISC-V can compete with Arm desktop computers. Competing with Apple will take much longer.

But such perspectives kind of miss the point. Then beauty of RISC-V is that it can be used in all sorts of specialized hardware such as accelerators. You may be able to program AI engines or maybe even some kind of graphics card with RISC-V instructions in the future.
You might find it helpful to compare this to 'move fast and break things' business models, especially 1 & 2, because it can be very similar

Yeah, plain HTML and CSS is great and all, until you need a shared layout, dynamic ObjectGraph headers, a RSS feed, translations, or anything else more complex than a one-page landing page. Right tool for the job.

I still remember the days of "plain HTML pages", most people didn't even get to close tags properly and shipped malformed HTML to browsers.
True; they are free to do as they see fit. But how about not leeching on the word “open” in that case? DeepMind is essentially the NSA (or Apple), OpenAI is paid-for cloud services with paper-based marketing, and FAIR may be the best of the bunch, but it still annoys the hell out of me that they push code with non-commercial clauses as their current default (these are legally complicated in a university context) and now a model that they label “open” despite not honouring the accepted meaning of the word.

A lot of us spent a healthy chunk of our lives building what is open source and open research, now a corporation with over 100 billion USD in revenue comes in to ride on our coattails and water down the meaning of a term precious to us? How about you spend the time and money to build your own terminology? “Available”, perhaps?

It's a tradeoff, as inevitably I'll miss some good ones but overall it seems like a better way to allocate my attention.
