Yeah same story for linux on Androids. They are at better state, but Ubuntu Touch website is still promoting Nexus 5 as their "official" device, among other similarly old phones. The top spec I can find is Oneplus 6T but it lacks many things, especislly HDMI. Can we deduce that these developers dont make enough money (from these projects)?

The question was in reply to the argument that maths should be abolished or toned down because it makes kids miserable. So if that is the criterion, what about all the other subjects that make kids miserable. I personally enjoyed maths, but other subjects made me miserable.

I don't think that means everything is fine as it is, but also that simply getting rid of subjects because people don't enjoy them may be too much.

I'm a bit confused by the article here. The author states

> The authors, who begin their abstract with

>> The observation of the Higgs boson solidified the standard model of particle physics. However, explanations of anomalies (for example, dark matter) rely on further symmetry breaking, calling for an undiscovered axial Higgs mode.

> which has nothing to do with the result in their paper.

But also in the abstract is

> Here, we discover an axial Higgs mode in the CDW
system RTe3 using the interference of quantum pathways

Similarly, they call out a tweet that is actually by the last author of the paper which states the discovery of a new particle.

> Excited to report our latest @Nature discovery of __a new particle__, the Axial Higgs mode

So I'm not confused about the skepticism of discovering an Axial Higgs mode, but the article is about hype not the experiment. They should at least add that the author and lab is accountable as well as giving some evidence why this experiment is wrong. I'm not a particle physicist so I can't really make conjectures as to if the experiment is right or wrong, but considering that the authors are claiming to discover a new particle I'm not sure I really blame the media in this case (despite the overall messaging resonating with me as I see this happen a lot in my current field: ML). I agree that it doesn't look like a new particle is discovered here, but I think the authors are culpable here. Similarly Nature, where the reviewers should have had this foresight.
"transaction reversibility is not about the ledger, but rather about the transaction rules that a currency uses. A reversible currency requires that someone anoint this trusted party (or trusted parties) and that they use their powers to freeze/burn/transact currency in ways that are at odds with the recorded owners’ intentions. And indeed, this is a capability that many tokens now possess"

I think this is arguing that reversibility is not antithetical to permissionless blockchains, because reversibility can be implemented on top of permissionless blockchains.

But that doesn't answer the critique -- the critique is that most real world systems do need trusted parties, and if you build a system of trusted parties on top of a permissionless blockchain, then you could have saved a lot of complexity, risk, and proof-of-economic-waste burn by building on top of a permissioned distributed ledger instead. Reversibility is one example of a design requirement that undoes the claimed advantages of permissionless blockchains that are meant to justify their inherent downsides.

No, it is saying that it is currently about $6000000/MW construction cost. Then you devide by number of hours of operations to get the cost per MW/h. (Not adjusted for interest rate.)

The LCOE of new nuclear plants have estimates ranging from less than $30/MWh to around $150/MWh, while estimates for the cost of plants built a few decades ago end up at around $40-60/MWh, from the numbers I've seen.

IPFS seems like the most interesting non-financial blockchain project to me. Could be a decent way to make a decentralized backup of the internet in case the current centralized web starts falling into disrepair.
Nuclear has very low fuel costs, under 1%. So it really doesnt make sense to throttle them unless the price goes negative.

Having an upfront guaranteed price is just a way to spread the construction cost over more time.

Also the German liberal party FDP and the conservative CDU intentionally let the solar industry die. They rather subsidized the coal industry, which was nearly dead and had a tenth of the jobs compared to the then booming German solar industry. There was a political motif behind the death of German solar.

The only thing to learn here is that on HN, most of them like predictable outrage on their own bias if it goes on top of HN. The majority of comments are dismissive and uninformative and then you have some of them accepting that regulations are coming whilst also disagreeing with absolutist statements. They are in the minority of comments here. If you post a crypto exit scam in the multi-millions, just watch the reactions go wild.

Post anything about Stripe, Moneygram, Checkout.com, Shopify, Namecheap, Porkbun, etc and other companies using cryptocurrencies, then you will get zero reactions or it never reaches the top of HN.

The absolutist arguments that both the critics and maximalists keep making is quite cheap really and I'm only taking their arguments with a grain of salt and looking at the crypto industry with close inspection but not with sweeping dismissals or being ignorant of the entire industry as a whole with hasty generalisations or confirmation bias.

Otherwise, the whole thing would have been totally (and successfully) banned and collapsed shorter than expected. Co-existence is what is going to happen really.
It's an interesting story, I used to be part of the modding community so I can lend some insight here.

In the early days of Switch hacking, there were mostly people just poking and prodding at different parts of the console to see if it would spit out interesting stuff. Fairly rudimentary stuff, like checking for secret Amiibo with custom NFC tags, hacking together Joycon drivers and even opening the device to play with the exposed hardware: all of it perfectly legal. Eventually though, someone found the secret switch on the bookshelf (shorting out one of the physical controller connector pins if you're curious), and the community was off to the races to design a custom bootloader/firmware like they did on the 3DS and Wii.

This is where the problems start, as I'm sure most people here would know. Messing with software is a dangerous thing (legally speaking), and so effectively 2 camps were formed:

- Team Xecuter, a close-knit circle of devs who intended to hack the Switch come Hell or hard-modding. They had no stipulations against using leaked code, directly profiting off their customerbase or inflaming their community, when it came down to it.

- Team Atmosphère, an open-source project that went with the "slow and steady" approach, attempting to find an ethical softmodding solution that could easily be applied to any Switch without fear of legal repercussion.

Both of these teams would fight each other viciously over the course of 2 or 3 years. Team Xecuter was first to figure out game piracy, but Atmosphere had a working warmboot before Xecuter did. Atmosphere was able to install games locally before Xecuter could, but Xecuter figured out booting from attached storage before Atmosphere did. The groups traded blows like this continually until, like Napoleon looking out on the Mediterranean, there were no more features to conquer. Xecuter had an easy-to-install commercial hardmod that was almost exclusively designed for piracy, while Atmosphere had polished off a more difficult but rewarding softmod, with emulation and homebrew capabilities (and eventually piracy, too).

So, what was Team Xecuter's crime? Putting the signing keys in the hardmods they sent out. With every successive Switch firmware update, Nintendo would issue a new list of attestation keys that came with each game purchase. To allow unsigned games to be booted, TX packed in these keys (and offered them on a monthly basis afterwards to hardmod owners), which really sent Nintendo off, leading to arrests like the one mentioned here. Atmosphere remains thankfully untouched today, and even though the odds looked stacked against them, they have delivered the most polished Nintendo Switch modding experience you could ask for. It's quite wonderful stuff, especially if you've ever wondered "how would this Python script run on Switch...?"

...oh, and the Switch modding community was absolutely insane for those few competitive years. There were a few other noteworthy community villains like Blawar, but that's a story for a different time.
> This is one reason why I'm still cold on blockchain tech in general. When push came to shove and Ethereum was hacked, the solution was an informal social consensus to fork the chain.

Worse than this. Code is law, but some insiders are above the law.
No, it was so long ago that I can't find the article.

By the way, that's not "every instance". The database is a "sampling".

If someone wants to make false accusations, they can do that now? I can see authorities trying to prevent adoption of homomorphic encryption. Once widely adopted I don’t think merely using it could be used against someone. Similarly, regular encryption isn’t _really_ penalised against now that it’s widely adopted.
With Apple it's "do as you're told", not "do as you like".
> In other words life produces lots of negentropy, probably exponentially, unlike other systems like celestial bodies.

Exponentially? I guess, in the sense that from fertilized egg to adult, lifeforms grow exponentially, you're right, but adults usually do not keep growing. So I would say "sustained", and once the negentropy (I don't like that term either) operation is no longer sustained -and so local entropy is once more on the rise-, then the being has died.

For stars, I think the issue is that local entropy does not go down. Collapse is avoided on a sustained basis, and when that stops being so, the star dies (and possibly leads to the creation of new stars, which looks like reproduction). That looks like life, but it isn't because local entropy still goes up.
Doesn't seem to have helped any at Vogtle.
Not unusual. Look at tech management pay, 7-digits typically.
Erlang pattern matching is awesome. Matching on binaries makes it very easy to parse protocols.

Re concurrency. I learned Erlang before Akka. It took me a bit but I find Akka more ergonomic. Akka will easily handle millions of actors on a single machine, too. But I always miss matching on binaries.

Another good one is protoactor for golang. That will also do a million actors no problem. Comes really close to Erlang in terms of how concise the syntax is. But again, no binary matching.
If you're on iPhone, you're still beaconing if you turn it off in the swipe down control center, the only way around this is to go into Settings and turn it off there.

Also of interest, your iOS BLE "Random" MAC transmits every few seconds and can take up to 48 hours to change. I wrote some software for the Pi that would allow me to enroll a phone when someone was nearby (By RSSI) and then with a directional antenna later in the day, you could confirm presence in a house / building.

You can also infer presence of anyone in a house because of this. Oh hey, 2 iPhones in the ex girlfriends apartment, Wonder what's going on in there...

Yeah creepy.

Even if you want to use Youtube, Floatplane or others to expose your content you can still pull users back to your site and own the creator - user relationship.

No, but we expect everybody to know reading, writing, and arithmetic. Programming may be more intrinsically difficult than these, but most of the reason it's so hard today is because of solvable problems that beginners run into, to the point of half of expertise is just knowing to avoid all these pitfalls. The downside of the open source developer ecosystem today is that putting it all together is typically a painful process, which is what Replit is aiming to solve. There is a world of difference between a good IDE and a bad one for a beginner, and a lot of that comes down to integration with the language.

Anyways, there's a reason programming should be made more widely accessible - it develops thinking skills and rationality when you learn it, as Mindstorms pointed out. Between the anecdotes in the book and things like [0], I think it's a travesty that we aren't pursuing this to its fullest extent, and instead try to teach children Python or JavaScript, two decent languages for software development but not exactly forgiving with beginners.

You're absolutely correct in that real estate is a mess and blockchain could clean up and streamline a few aspects of a real estate transaction. Problem is the existing systems have a lot of catching up to do. There was a story of a house being sold as an NFT... Purely promotional gimmick as the only thing that mattered (transfer of deed, etc) had nothing to do with the blockchain and the NFT representing the property has no legal meaning whatsoever.

Wire transfers can take several days, I suppose depending on mechanism/method. That said anyone who's participated in a real estate closing, funding round, etc knows you receive bank confirmation of the wire in minutes-hours and it's a done deal. In funding companies, for example, I've personally experienced this with wires in the tens of millions of dollars.

Edit:

I actually can't think of any such site _without_ comment voting today. Really that's because virtually every social media site now has a one-click way of engaging with comments (notably excluding 4chan). The difference between sites is in whether sorting by score is lacking, available, or part of an inscrutable algorithm; and what other ranking methods are available.

I can't find a single result relevant to the history of voting or user moderation in any search engine. Was Slashdot the first? It and Fark lacked this at launch in 1997;

- Slashdot handpicked 400 users to be moderators in 1999-03[0], and began randomly assigning moderation duty some time between then and the addition of moderation reasons in 1999-05[1]. Metamoderation was added in 1999-09.[2]

- Fark only added comment voting, with separate 'smart' and 'funny' votes, in 2011,[3] making it the only social news site AFAIK without negative votes.

This is interesting, i know that same script. I thought a buddy of mine out of Arlington TX wrote it around '96 or '97. I didn't know it existed outside of our autonomous vehicle systems lab. We used it to accumulate and categorize certain pictures.
Oh, I'm certain that Asimov wasn't the first to think of it. It could have been thought up in the 19th century, and it would be very surprising if Asimov was the first to write down the idea.
For me blockchain is peer to peer 2.0.

Lot of hype back in the day that this technology e.g. torrent was going to revolutionise the internet and society would never be the same.

And whilst it is still widely used today and has practical use cases e.g. data distribution it wasn't transformative.
The issue is that you will always need some type of infrastructure to work.

Maybe we need government investment in infrastructure. Having government infrastructure allows a lot of small businesses to work.

Take for example the road system. There are so many business that depend on the roads. Imagine if they were all owned by private companies that could kick you off at their whim?

The postal system also is very similar, though recently it has been getting less investment.

One advantage of government infrastructure is that there are laws and rights such as due process/freedom of speech/etc.

I am not sure what that would look like in practice for the digital world. One area that be useful is digital identity. Other people have mentioned it, but maybe having the Postal Service provide you with a secure identity card (similar to what Estonia provides). This would enable “social login” without being dependent on Google/Facebook/Apple/etc.

The truth is owning your own platform is beyond what an individual developer or small (or even medium sized) company can do.
How do you deal with multiple copies with different signing parties who claim to have the true copy?

If the situation is such that a mass of state residents is physically attempting to overwhelm a military base like at the end of "V for Vendetta", then the political situation will have long been obvious and preparations will have been made.

> I don't disagree, but it's a false dichotomy: we don't have to choose between the statistical view and boots on the ground. All forms of useful knowledge should be sought. Human brains are heavily biased towards anecdotes and stories, as opposed to cold calculated statistics...

Precisely my point. We can't do those statistics without narrowing the discussion to a finite set of dimensions that *may* be representative.

The more one works toward the doctorate, the more one realizes the squishiness of efforts to generalize from the nifty p-value to the population at large.

Especially where life-altering decisions are involved.

Those ascribing to themselves vast authorities are far too insulated from negative consequences. More skin in the game, please.
> It sounds like your goal is just to filter out the absolute worst of the worst,

Yes.

> I'm disputing is your assertion that there is a correlation between doing the contrived problems under unrealistic conditions and future job performance.

You are projecting something here. You are saying, without any supporting evidence, that the problems are contrived. They are not. They are really the core of what me and my coworkers do day in and day out.

You are also saying that the conditions are unrealistic. What makes you think that?
Taking a piece of software (or even a well-defined algorithm, really) that's meant to compress data, and then claiming that using it to compress video is novel is stupid though. Any type of digital asset is, in fact, "data".

> I can tell you from living in a relatively low density part of San Francisco that a lot of the long time residents don't want more people. They wield terms like "manhattanize" as pejoratives.

Yes, they are NIMBYs, and they are hugely prevalent in low density housing because they bought that single family home for a reason.

I get the desire for that sort of life, especially when you’re raising young children. I just don’t think single family homes should be what much of our land should be zoned for.
