If that's the most effective way of helping people, why would they not do that? They do more than that though, they fund projects of many different kinds. They also coach people to go into fields where they can have a positive impact for example.

> wasn't one of their initial proposals that deworming medications should be sent to rural Africa, for its disproportionate impact it could have?

They have different funds:

- Global Health and Development Fund [0]

- Animal Welfare Fund [1]

- Long-Term Future Fund[2]

- Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund[3]

Deworming would go under "Global health and development" (if it's estimated to be the most effective) and AI under "Long-term future fund".

As far as I understand it, this is less about the amount of energy and more to do with the type of pilot certificate one would need to have.

The majority of pilots are initially rated for the Airplane category with Airplane, Single Engine, Land as the most common class. Powered lift is a completely different category, and so pilots rated for the Airplane category would have to qualify separately, including a certain minimum number of hours with a flight instructor, a certain number of solo hours, cross-country flight distance and a check ride.

This would significantly raise the bar to fly these aircraft. I also don't even know for these eVTOLs whether it'd be credible to do e.g. the cross country flight which requires at least 150 nautical miles of travel, including three full-stop landings, due to the battery lifetime.

Falcon 3 and 4 are major milestones in "serious" flightsims, and I toyed with both of them (3 more than 4), but I cannot say I completed a single mission with either.

MicroProse F-19 hit that awesome spot of some realism (laughable today, but it wasn't meant to be an arcade game back then), with a really easy flight model and cool missions and scenarios you could really complete. And besides knowing the keyboard mappings, you really didn't need a manual. It was thrilling to play mission after mission, getting all those medals, and having your character be promoted in rank. I spent a lot of time with that game -- probably flew as many missions as an actual combat pilot!

The only other flightsim I found almost as engrossing was Gunship 2000, with its "dynamic" campaign system, but it was way more difficult.

I find Tiny Combat Arena captures some of this thrilling but simple gameplay, but it currently lacks content (more campaigns, more maps, more things to do).

Unrelated but Cloudflare dashboard used to be like that but they did something recently (few weeks ago) and it is blazing fast. Everything is instant joy. Well, except the Access/ZeroTrust app. Not sure why that's a different app that takes 10 seconds to redirect a bazillion times. It has horrible UI compared to the main dash.cloudflare.com and generally has bad documentation. I guess it exposes internal teams at Cloudflare and some broken product management. Hope that gets better.

How Can You Fix Radio Interference from LED Lights?
I think you have a very narrow idea about what "mutating state" really means. You seem to talk about DMA access only. But you can manipulate the state of an application by writing to a shared data store, by calling an API, and countless other ways. It is really more of a concept for us humans to define where an application begins and ends.

Let's take an example. If we have two services that wants to keep the full name of a logged in user for some reason, that piece of state can be said to be shared between the applications. Should one service want to change that piece of data (perhaps we had it wrong and the user wanted to set it right), the service must now mutate the shared state. It does not matter whether it is done by evicting a shared cache or if we write the updated data to the service directly, we still speak of a shared state that is updated.

Now we can stipulate that the more of these things we have, the more coupled two pieces of software is, which generally makes reasoning about the system harder. It is not as black and white as one type of coupling is considered acceptable and the other isn't, but some types are easier to reason about than others. Joe really thought hard about these things and it really shows in the software he wrote.
I can agree with all of that, I wasn't trying to imply otherwise, more just explaining that stating that OOP means what Kay wanted it to mean is ignoring history, consensus, and Kay himself.

> much in the same way that life-at-conception was mainstream biology until the moment it became politicized.

I think most mainstream biologist believe that a fetus is living cells and, hence, life. Most mainstream biologists would not, and did not, agree that humanity begins a conception, similarly most would agree a human is dead upon brain death and not "alive" simply because the corpse still has a heart beat. This is a discussion that was foisted upon biology and politicized, not vice versa.

The abortion debate is a fundamentally a religious debate, so it's good to understand it from that point of view.
Yeah, I've had too many total botches with Apple Maps that I don't trust it on new routes. I always check the route with Google, and then maybe use Apple Maps for navigation while driving. I also fall back to Google because I can cache maps ahead of a trip while Apple will just fail when offline. And Google is way better for pedestrian trips, live transit information, and business info.

Basically the only niche Apple has earned with me is in my car, using CarPlay.
I absolutely despise that auto route change feature. Whether (but especially) on a motorcycle or in a car. It’s dangerous and it fills me with rage.

Also, that software is so non-configurable these days: Is an “Automatically accept better routes” checkbox that esoteric?! I’d say I want to find the product developer responsible but it seems like it’s most of them these days. It’s like not being able to turn off auto-playing previews in streaming apps.

Sorry, rant over.
Yes. I like to call these “regular-size services”. Of course, it’s just SOA.
Agreed. But with google maps I can suggests changes and add info and it will be accepted, I can't to do that with Apple Maps. Maybe that's part of why Google Maps has better info.

(Or maybe I just haven't been able to figure it out how to contribute to Apple Maps, I even googled how to do it and got to a place where business owners could enter details about their own business)
Quite possible. We use both in our 2021 Forrester, and Carplay gives very little space in the view to the maps.
Google use to keep maps very 'simple', but Apple does the simple much better (aesthetically).

The moment you need to dig in, Apple maps fails me. Finding Locations (via voice while driving or otherwise), hours of operation, or traffic theres no comparison.

Also, walking mode and public transportation is great on Google Maps. Had some trouble in Chicago with wife's apple maps doing either on multiple occasions.

One thing to note though -- IPhones have great gps stability. My wife's iphone often does a better job with gps and that can kill the whole app experience before you get started especially in a new location or a dense urban area with tall buildings etc.

I don't accept that this is new. This has always been the tension in this debate. It was the tension when they supported the Nazi's right to march in Skokie and it was the tension for 200-years-worth of arguing about it before that.

And it's a tension that the ACLU once took a clear (and extremely controversial) position on.
Ok, so given you can place 10 P-cores vs 40 E-cores on the same die area by your math, why don't they ship a 40 E-core CPU then? If those little cores are so capable in multi-threading (better than 2P anyway), that would be a big win, no?
Except it did materialize. There were indictments that arose from that investigation, and we know they were interested in acquiring Russian "dirt" on Clinton. If you expected something more dramatic or obvious, that's uninformed and naive.

a GPD pocket 1 running linux for all my important work stuff. (small enough to carry around when travelling, so i have a device to do work just in case i need to do stuff that's inconvenient on the phone. i may eventually replace that with a pinephone with keyboard extension, because that's much cheaper and it's really the keyboard and the laptop form factor that makes the difference)

a one mix 1s running linux that was really supposed to replace the GPD pocket when the GPD battery died. the one mix battery died too, and in the mean time i was able to replace the GPD battery but not the one mix one.

there is one more thinkpad running some old version of linux that is still booting but so old that it's not really practically usable. there are also two OLPC XO's that were the predecessors of the GPD pocket that should still boot.

two working phones running /e/. one in use and and older one as backup

one thing i never had, because i never found a use for that form factor, is a tablet. a device either needs to be small and easy to carry, or it better have a real keyboard.

i do want to get rid of the desktop and instead get another laptop because it's just more flexible

That's interesting because in my car (a Honda) it is Android Auto which puts navigation info on the instrument cluster while CarPlay does not, with either Apple or Google maps.

Yesterday some people were arguing in another HN thread that Coinbase stock is a bargain because of the low P/E. That nice ratio is negative now.
I think the point of the article and general consensus here is that their missions should not overlap as much as they do.

Or as the ACLU puts it, on why they defend abhorrent groups:

"The ACLU is frequently asked to explain its defense of certain people or groups — particularly controversial and unpopular entities such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Nation of Islam, and the National Socialist Party of America. We do not defend them because we agree with them. Rather we defend their right to free expression and free assembly.

Historically, the people whose opinions are the most controversial or extreme are the people whose rights are most often threatened. Once the government has the power to violate one person’s rights, it can use that power against everyone. We work to stop the erosion of civil liberties before it’s too late." https://www.aclu.org/about-aclu

Which is somewhat different than the SPLC:

"The SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people." https://www.splcenter.org/about
You're talking about something else with a remote control. When you're streaming, the device you're streaming to has control of the audio level, display ratio, and what you are watching, not the server. The remote device becomes the remote control. You're talking about a smart TV or a console system you attach to a TV. Streaming is a different thing.

Apache will stream your stupid 75GB BluRay files without any need to re-encode, and you can watch it remotely so long as the client device can decode it, even across a 10kbit connection, so you go ahead and enjoy your wasted processor cycles and higher electric bill, oh, and watching your content at a lower bit rate and resolution. I'll just stream the large media as is at full quality without compromise.

You have to work really really very hard to get Apache not to just work, and it takes a slashdot-level event to get it to stop working.

Meanwhile, whatever thing you bought will be abandonware in less than 2 years. And chances are about equal your thing is just running a crappy wrapper and gui for Apache anyway. So the business end of your thing is probably free, yet you paid for it anyway.

Free Speech isn't a "liberal" or a "conservative" value, it's an American value.

The reason "hate speech" exists in European countries is because they have unresolved baggage from WWII, and rather than confront the problem, they decided to put a boot down and curtail civil liberties instead. None of that is relevant to the USA or has any bearing on our politics.

> We don't "have" row level security per se, that is a native feature of Postgres we expose, and the customer is free to use or not. RBAC is a very broad term, and broadly speaking Postgres has roles and privileges that do access control. Did you have something more specific in mind?

I was referring to the ability to assign a user to one or more groups and then set, at the group level, access to a row or column. When I implemented this, I avoided using PG roles b/c I was unsure how this play safely with future changes to the hosted DB.
I myself just don't understand why any reasonable person would pick an existing common word for a project in 2022 instead of using the plethora of name generators that can give you something original without even trying.

But like, people that work for Google surely know something about search term collision. Or just don't care about making anything else that has "Go" in the query gets confusing results. Which is an odd stance for Google employees, but none of my business I guess.

Of course it's common anyway, I just don't see why you'd do this to yourself. You either bury your own project, or you are so successful with branding that no one can find what used to have that name. Google can push something hard enough with perfect SEO to make sure that Go the language shows up. A github page?

I mean, it's not Google but:

This project is not anywhere near the front page and I can't imagine it ever being. Too many different companies are selling boba tea.

I never really like it when companies use existing common words, but unless you're a huge project or a company that can push the SEO and marketing it's actively burying your work from anyone finding it.

Banning people from Twitter, App Store, AWS, VISA being cancelled, kicked out of distribution etc...

Private institutions are narrowing their versions of what was considered normative 'crude' behaviour into 'hate speech' which has implications. Netflix, Hulu etc. spend a lot of time defining what's appropriate and not in their programming, and someone uttering something 'counter narrative' is problematic for them (unless it makes them a lot of money).

That said, with Trump lying about the election, and others lying about vaccines, and foreign actors 100% trying to influence electoral outcomes (these are real things), it's an actual problem.

I mean, I don't care if RT.com is punted from anywhere, it's not relevant, but it's a slippery slope.

In Czechia, for example, there's a fairly successful (in some ways even superior) Google Maps competitor in Mapy.cz. Google Maps are better in Prague and other larger cities. Mapy.cz focused on providing features Google didn't really care about, like mapping hiking and cycling trails or having nearly every backcountry road covered in their Street View alternative.

Debate on the floor of the House and Senate is largely faked for TV cameras already in the current era.

CSPAN camera angles are limited on purpose to hide this, but most speeches are given to an empty or nearly empty chamber.

I went down a rabbit hole a few months ago and bought an ipod classic 5.5 with the wolfson dac for ~$40, I plan to modify it a bit storage and battery wise, and possibly some cosmetic mods. I also researched IEM's and paired it with some 'Chi-Fi' IEM's like the moondrop Aria and then got some aftermarket spinfit tips and changed the headphone cable to something of better quality. I plan on upgrading the IEM's to something more expensive but right now these are a good first pair for $70.

The real reason I did all this was because I got nostalgia and could not afford an iPod back in the day but now I see myself buying more exclusive harder to find music because nothing is more annoying that having playlists on Spotify where songs are no longer available/blacked out or deleted rare music from youtube due to copyrights. I would like to have some kind of ownership over my music independent from an internet connection or a streaming service (nice to discover new music) dacs of course are not as good as modern phones of today but goddamit-NOSTALGIA!
