sorry, but what works for the printing press does not work for ebooks.

If someone were to talk to you about the cost of printing and distributing books and how much X costs and depreciation over 10 years, you as an ebook seller would laugh them out of the room. Sure there are things that still apply across all businesses, but people seen to dance around the fact that the reason why depreciation model does not work for bitcoin mining is that it's highly correlated to advances that were made in the mining hardware + the huge role the cost of power (geographical location in the end) has on the whole profitability of things.
- I'd have to set up the WP instance and maintain it. I'd have to manage the account(s) on it. I'd have to manage the plugins and all of the sundry parts of running a web service.

- The WYSIWYG editor isn't as good as GDocs (or Word, or insert other popular apps)

- Collaborative authoring is a pain. GDocs has this built in, via accounts everyone already has.

The utility of ease of use/low-friction/lightweight-ness can't be overstated. Getting rid of even a small amount of friction from systems often pays itself back exponentially.

Finally! We've been writing JS to accomplish this but now it looks like we can deprecate that.

>People who are bitter and angry and troll on forums may not go outside much irl, so you don't meet them.

I believe this is myth, was it even proved?

I've seen it being repeated for at least decade yet it always felt like "one quick, somewhat logically sounding explanation" but is it even real?
IIRC their tests were over a short, direct run of wire. I tested them using different lengths of runs, across circuits, and in different houses. The Wirecutter test setup was the most ideal environment possible. It was as if a manufacturer dictated the setup.

To their credit, I think they updated their test setup to be more realistic.

> Your wiring is to blame.

That’s quite the assessment for the info given. Lol.
Most world governments and taxing authorities work for their populace, they could be easily voted out if people saw what other nations are benefiting from such innovation.

As for what’s feasible and evidence on it, I assure you, Edison had no clue that the internet will one day be born out of his electricity inventions and that it will be mostly used for porn, so sit back, relax and enjoy the next 100 years of untold human history.

Text is such a low-bandwidth human-to-human interaction format, compared with f2f.

I find, for example, that folks sometimes 'read into' what I write -- something that I, in fact, did not write -- in order to bolster their own arguments. This is a form of attacking the Straw Man, and I think the low-bandwidth text format is the reason for this sort of projection.
In the future, we will all drink Gatorade and have a president wrestler. You see, I can also make stuff up. It may also happen! Saw a documentary about this already.
This is actually something you'll notice in grocery stores now. The higher price has moved far higher (2x) while the discount price has moved 20%. They're prepping everyone for higher prices if needed.

A cool feature would be to take keyboard input. Either 'abcdefg' typed in or else one of those skeuomorphic layouts used by DAWs. Or else even better, if it supported webmidi so someone could plug in a midi keyboard.

I find the mouse clicking to kinda get in my way, though I see why this makes sense for mobile.

Another cool feature would be if it actually played the tone when pressed. Or chords.

But also super cool as is. I've always had trouble remembering bass cleft notes + I didn't even know all those other clefts even existed.
> Is it considered petty theft by all the victims of the latest racist mass shooting in NYand their friends and families?

No, but King isn't the one who committed that mass shooting. You shouldn't hold him responsible for others' actions.
People in real life socialize for various reasons. For company, for dating, for connections, for future invitations. Deep discussions are not really conducive to any of those goals, especially in mixed company.

Are there any $15 wines that taste good or $500 DSLRs that can shoot good video footage or $50 dress shirts that look good? For most people the answer is obviously yes, and for some the answer is obviously no. And the one group will never convince the other group that they are wrong.
A key quote from the article supports what you're saying:

"Warren and I raised the prices of See’s Candies a little faster than others might have. There are actually people out there who don’t price everything as high as the market will easily stand. And once you figure that out, it’s like finding money in the street.”

Whether that's a reason to admire Buffet, or dislike him, I'll leave to the reader. The impression I have of Buffet is that's not a romantic; he's out to make money in a sustainable, long-term way, and is unapologetic about it.
Going by that logic, why does any company sell anything that can be used to make money?
I once explained the same points to someone who use to pop in here when his name was mentioned Calacanis when he bought some mining rigs several years ago.

You see there are some valid economic reasons why CBOT and several other exchanges allow the shorting of bitcoin without making those contracts tied to bitcoin.

If any of you want to bet anyway on bitcoin do not buy mining rigs, think of it this way it represents a business we all are familiar with...

Buy domains to speculate and base the business model paying for it on ad revenue off of the websites with each domain name buy.

Its the same dam economic trends and same long term bad result
They don't trust you enough to tell you what they really think. Here on HN you get a downvote. IRL, the "downvoter" may get really vindictive, and if you aren't out of his reach, socially and physically, expect some real repercussions.
Nowhere! Why draw the line right beneath yourself, we could all be better and it sucks that we aren't
They have said they don't want to interoperate. They said they won't certify against whatever random hardware and software a person has in their PC.
You'd have to give up the notion that "prehistoric" refers to some fixed moment in time, but other than that you are of course free to try to change it's meaning.
This is a substack primarily about covid:

> Ground Truths:
> Facts, data, and analytics about Covid and other biomedical matters

Looks like someone is worried people will stop paying attention to him. One of the biggest challenges post covid is going to be unwinding all the profiteering and power structures that have used covid as a reason to proliferate

And thinking about this a bit more, there is a big "boy who cried wolf" issue here. If covid somehow did get worse, few people are going to care or take it seriously after all the BS that's gone on. People hear "variant B.whatever" and roll their eyes and just see a new way for officials and elites to try and tell us what to do. If we actually should be acting, many more won't compared to before covid when we might have believed some advice was for our own good.
These do exist, but they're not really marketed to the mainstream home theater market.
The fact that you can ask for help and someone can actually help is why I finally decamped from Microsoft/Apple into Linux.

I get bugs like this from Apple/Microsoft products all the time. The only difference is that I have no ability to fix them, and I have to hope that enough other people have the same bug to make it important enough to fix.
> Compressing your track to hell in an effort to get it to sound louder doesn't work anymore because every streaming service will just normalize it anyway.

This is a bit of confused remark. "Normalization" means applying some constant gain factor to the signal so that the loudest level is 0dBFS. Compression applies a varying gain factor to the signal to meet some parameters. Normalizing audio will generally make it louder (unless the loudest level is already at 0dBFS), but it does not change the dynamic range of the signal. The "loudness wars" were all about using compression, and this does change the dynamic range of the signal (you end up with less difference between the quietest and loudest parts of the signal - hence the term compression).

You can still "sound louder" by using compression, even if the peak volume is still 0dBFS.
But.... what part? All their hosting that I could find is donated. I think he's talking about past hosting, as in, he wants to get reimbursed for previous hosting costs, not current ones.
I wonder why in the middle of 2022 people still put pre-2011 and pre-JDK7 snippets. And even try-with-resources example is not all what JDK7 provides, there are better, high-level utilities added which haven't got a proper attention.

Namely, in JDK7 and newer, you can just write:
Files.readAllBytes(Path.get("story.txt"))
Two interesting side effects, if I understand correctly:

1. Dramatically reduces the number of entities the government needs to "partner" with (via NSLs and/or TAO) for the firehose of domains visited by Apple users.

2. Apple gets a time series of Safari network traffic for each user

I wonder how many popular domains could be unmasked by an ISP that is supposedly blind to the destination of each packet but can of course still see fine-grained traffic patterns for each user.
Thank you for your take on it. I too was hoping for more insights here, having followed the Linear A / Linear B developments from my armchair for many years.
If you don't have a super cheap source of electricity then most likely you wouldn't break even.
You mean fiat?

Thats not new at all. We've used it for decades now it only leads to boom and bust cycles, while pushing the power of work done into the hands of people who didn't do the work.
RandomX makes for a poor PoW though, as its huge complexity and high cost of verification run counter to the design principles for a good PoW.
Not so sure, what about a machine like a slot machine? I think you make money making something you know how to make
As another small example, there's my Befunge JIT which includes recompilation: https://github.com/serprex/Befunge/tree/master/barfs
The immediately pragmatic answer is that you probably can, but only by using a rootless X11 server (plus WSL or cygwin). It would probably be better to make something that use the local native graphical toolkit, really.
Equality?
Reusability of data is an important part of research. It helps collaboration between researchers, and enables secondary research to take place. Using the same data is important for reproducibility in many cases, because the research isn't about creating the dataset, it's about doing analysis on the data. A lot of original research relies on existing datasets.

Having "good" data is obviously crucial, but it's a separate matter.
Proof-of-work is so obviously, undeniably, mathematically guaranteed to be a crypto dead-end, that I'm gobsmacked we're still having discussions like this.

Proof-of-work requires, by design, that the electricity value expended on mining is proportional to the total market cap of Bitcoin. It's really just simple arbitrage: if the value of Bitcoin goes up, but the electricity cost doesn't, then you have essentially 2 different prices for 1 good, which should attract more miners to spend more money on electricity. And, indeed, this is exactly what has happened.

The problem, of course, is that if it takes an Argentina's worth of electricity to run Bitcoin now, how does the world manage if Bitcoin has a 10 or 100 times greater market cap? Obviously it can't, and world governments would rightly shut it all down before the majority of our electric output went to mining BTC.

There is simply no way around this issue if you're on a proof-of-work system, and given that, it's so easy to see that BTC is guaranteed to fail at some point. It's like we're on a train rushing towards a bridge that's out, and everyone can see the bridge is out, but somehow we've convinced a large number of people that we'll "jump the gap" when we get there.
Musk doesn't know how to read and interpret medical studies. So he thought HCQ was a magic cure based on a quack Google doc and spread it.

Ivermectin turned out to be somewhat helpful only if the covid patient had stomach worms which is rare in the US. Ad spending by pharma companies doesn't there are bad quality studies pushed by quacks who mislead people like Musk, Trump and Fox News hosts who have their own agendas.

If any of those actually worked after 2 years of intense research the Chinese govt would be all over them instead of wrecking their economy and political capital with lockdowns. Musk has hundreds of billions, if those drugs actually worked he could have funded studies on them, but even he is smart enough to not continue to believe his own disproven bullshit that he feeds to conspiracy theorists.

> In my mind, to alter genes that will be passed down from generation to generation is a sacred act

There is nothing sacred about it. It's just a biological process. The only problem with GM babies are ethical considerations. But given how humanity as a whole could benefit immensely if these tests are successful, I think it's worth the sacrifice. Like even today we brainwash kids into fighting pointless wars where there is literally no benefit to mankind. On the other hand Genetic engineering can literally carve a new race of humanity. I am pretty sure China is already doing it. Unfortunately the west is too weak to take such tough moral decisions which benefit the community at the expense of the individual. Communism will win over here. Hopefully it takes all of mankind with it rather than some super sino master race.
Well I guess you don’t use MacOS then. I didn’t design it, take it up with Apple.

It's so they don't have to change the topology from the ring bus in the consumer parts while boosting the effective core count. Look at a 12900K block diagram. Four efficiency cores plus their combined L2 take up the same amount of die area as a P core. This means they don't have to deal with mesh interconnects or something like Infinity Fabric (which they already tried on Ivy Bridge-EP and were sorely dissatisfied with) and kick the can further down the road.
Sure, if they also convince every miner, user, and exchange on earth to download the fork and agree to the protocol change.

That's like saying "in the future the linux kernel could be insecure, because the devs could add a keylogger"
No ads for me either
It’s exactly this. “Audiophiles” are a weird bunch. Much of what they claim to hear is scientifically proven as total nonsense. Audio Science Review is a great place where they scientifically analyse audio equipment. The quality of speaker wire for all meaningful measurements is utterly irrelevant for instance.

Realistically, as long as you are enjoying the art, how you are enjoying it should be irrelevant.

I often make the point to people that a terrible movie will be terrible no matter how you watch it - HDR, 4K, Atmos won’t make a difference. A crappy movie, will always be a crappy movie.

The same with music, and inversely - a great song will still sound great and enjoyable on a really crappy car stereo.
What OP describes, at least to the extent that I agree with them, is both but mostly germline editing. Most genetic issues aren't really treatable after birth (though we are nowhere near the limit, so in the future who knows). Genes don't really code for traits so much after the embryo develops, most of the effect comes from the manual process of cells bumping against each other

Youtube is very trainable. You have to curate your watch history more than click "don't recommend", though.

If your recommendations are currently absolute trash it might even be best to clear your watch history altogether and start from scratch.

But FWIW... it's absolutely worth it. The YouTube recommendation algorithm, when trained, works REALLY well and is a gold mine of useful content.
I made the mistake of buying a SoundBlaster Z1 for my last gaming PC build. After two years of constant struggle, I removed it last night and just use the onboard sound which sounds identical.

The thing constantly stopped working and I would have to reseat it into a different PCI slot and often reinstall the drivers to make it work again. It also had obnoxious bright red LEDs with no way to turn them off.

It often went weeks without being detected at all after any kind of reboot of the system.

I will never buy another.
I’m guessing they’re doing this because modern x86 processors can’t boot into BIOS mode anymore (edit: untrue, see reply by dmitrygr). This makes me wonder why they’re even offering FreeDOS as an option when they offer Linux for customers who don’t wish to purchase a Windows license. Maybe they have some sort of contractual obligation with a large customer?
TX-NR3009 have XT32, there should be older models as well
I don’t feel that way at all.

Every time I’ve tried Fly (trust me I’ve wanted to love it), there’s always a rough edge or the service breaks for me.

First time I tried it, the web panel wasn’t even loading. Second time, months later, everything was 500ing and I couldn’t find a way to SFTP into a disk (!!!). Total dealbreaker.

This was easily done in Render.com with an even more magical experience. Deploy from a GitHub repo and I was live in minutes. Upload the files from local and done.

I want to love Fly so much. I align with their mission. I love their first class Elixir support. But so far I’m not impressed.

It looks to me like Render is seriously taking the PaaS crown at the moment, with innovation after innovation, affordable pricing and excellent user experience.
And has probably regretted it.

Emotions run on the same circuitry as thoughts / knowledge. I'm going to speculate that the same mechanism that works to consolidate memories is at work with emotions (and emotions are encoded in memories)

The distinction between thoughts/emotions conscious/unconscious is entirely arbitrary and made up.

The spring is that bent metal piece. As you push the plug in it initially pushes by the spring and then it catches in the narrow section of the plug to hold it in.
In particular, most of these require always on audio and in some cases video scanning and recognition. My distant memory is that you can record audio on a fairly small processor and power budget, but video is expensive no matter what you do, and running the sort of pattern recognition or worse yet machine learning needed to actually do anything useful with it would be murder on your battery if you were unplugged and on performance even if you weren't. (This might change with the wide availability of hardware specifically designed for these tasks (TPUs), but we're not quite there yet and I don't know how general that will ever be)
No? A lot of anime sites. Google it
“I expect that human genetic engineering, both therapeutic and “vanity” applications, will become an unfathomably profitable industry in the coming decades. I am open to the possibility that germline editing could be ethically applied in narrowly defined arenas of public health. But the determination of where to draw the lines should not be left up to venture capitalists and self-centred founders, as it was to a large extent with the IT industry. They are already salivating.”

I thought I was terrified of this shit before, but that phrasing hits like the doorframe of a Crown Victoria.
Neither of these solve the problem of a small number of young people supporting a large elderly population. Japan already has this problem. The issue is taxation for retirement and medical care, not child care. Back to the land and dropping out doesn’t solve any problem either, and isn’t practical at scale.
I too was scratching my head about as you put it , "what the groundbreaking research was". The academic review link that you posted was rather useful though it was a little technical.

I think the book needs to be read. But thanks a ton.
How did Apple do that? I've seen the documentation while building stuff with Xcode but I never saw anything that would have actually forced my app to behave (outside of iOS).
It's possible to make one for yourself using Python.
Why do you need to SFTP into a disk?

Ah, I missed that, haven’t kept up to date in recent years.
I’d wager that it is the second most accurate and prescient science fiction movie only behind 2001. It’s also better than 2001 because it’s pretty much the only good sci-fi movie I know that didn’t involve a “fantastical” or god-like being/power playing a major role (in that regard tying with Martian).
You’re saying that as the price of Bitcoin has risen, the price of electricity has risen? I think something’s missing from your argument.
I'm implying that there are a lot of steps in the process where point of view matters. Less saying that something "should" happen and more describing a can of worms nobody wants to open.
It’s not interfering with my experience yet
I think I would be okay with germline editing too, in selected cases. It's not like a child is going to say "hey, thanks for not fixing my cancer-causing mutation when you had the chance, mum".

I was moving a Ghost blog from Render. Ghost is notorious for having a difficult time with hosting assets in S3, so it uses disks.

I needed to move the Ghost assets directory for all the posts.

This was a ten minute thing in Render. SOL in Fly.
