It's a relic of the successful destruction of anarchist unions and parties in the early 20c (especially in the US.)

Entropy is not fatal. Areas of low entropy appear as creation, and that creation contains it's own destruction.

Entropy is a quantity. Qualities can only change, they do not live or die. The article should have been titled "Low Entropy is Fatal", or "Larger areas Low Entropy Areas are More Quickly Fatal than Small Areas of Low Entropy". Which is also wrong. All areas of low entropy are fatal, it is just easier to see the larger low entropy areas failing than the smaller ones. And larger areas of low entropy need more energy to keep the entropy low. Which is why minimalism is easier, it just shrinks the low entropy area to one that needs less energy.

Also...

You, as a human, are a low entropy area. Your whole existence is predicated on continuing to sustain your area of low entropy. How do we do this? By enabling electrons to flow through our mitochondria and stealing their angular momentum.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33671585/

Areas of low entropy have a constant stream of electrons flowing through them. For humans the electron transport chain in our mitochondria steals the electrons angular momentum energy. Our mitochondria steal the angular momentum of electrons.

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1407716111

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00108...

The mitochondria are quantum machines that capture the free energy from electrons. Black holes are also quantum machines. Anywhere you see an area of low entropy you see a quantum machine. Quantum machines are powered by the angular momentum of electrons to make areas of low entropy.

Electron spin makes all matter possible, everything object a quantum machine that uses the angular momentum of an electron (which happens to be the speed of light!).

https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=...

IMHO, Black holes are black because they capture all of an electrons angular momentum. Very efficient quantum machines indeed.

I'm not defending my post, you make fair points. I kinda expected pushback from HN.

I should have found a tweet or smaller article that was just about the section where Newey talks about the auto industry. Or others articles that explore this angle.

Anyway there has to be an element of truth in the legendary engineer's comments -- or at least it is a different viewpoint to the popular narrative these days about EV and auto-industry. So I immediately thought the HN community might be interested in exploring this angle -- which other commenters did explore.

I will definitely be more careful when posting next time.

PS: I would think there are engineer fans of the sport that admire Newey as Elon is admired, sorta celeb engineer.

Emacs has a built in package manager as well as several alternative external package managers! Most of the time installing a package is as simple as running "package-install" or having a "use-package" expression somewhere in the init scripts!

I personally do not use any of these package managers and instead use my systems package manager on Gentoo to manage everything. Gentoo has most of the popular projects in the ::gentoo repo under app-emacs, and packaging your own is only a few lines of bash.

Yeah I can see the argument for keeping the checkboxes on the left and their explainer text immediately adjacent on the right.

But the problem is that the choose-boxes and radio buttons at the top can't be treated the same way, and create an inconsistent layout when combined with the check boxes.

Moving all the text to the left, and all the controls to the right, and boxing each choice together with its text using gradient background boxes, feels overall cleaner, more consistent, and better organized.

Absolutely agree with you, but the reason for that predatory price is to scare people into signing up for a base plan with more data than they need thus paying for more than what they'd actually use. This is coupled with contracts so they can't downgrade once they realize they use nowhere near that, even though it's a fully automated service that has no set-up nor termination costs that would otherwise justify a long-term contract.

I have been trying to get ts-node to work consistently for, like, five years and it’s always a fucking battle. I can only conclude that either I have miserably poor JavaScript skills or you only work on really simple code bases where this works, or some combination of the two. It’s not just ts-node—it’s Jest and other tools, it’s configuring ES modules to work in Node or deciding to use require(), it’s fine-tuning your TypeScript configurations (plural), it’s a bunch of stuff.

> For frontend usually you literally don't configure anything, Next.JS, CRA, or whatever already comes with typescript preconfigured if you select it.

My experience is that this stuff is always on the verge of breaking when you integrate it with some new dependency, when you have needs that are slightly different from the mainstream use-cases that the developers envisioned, or when you start going through and updating your packages.

I’ve been using JavaScript since the dark ages and the only way we can survive is by periodically cutting down some of the built-up complexity. We don’t need to cut it down for everyone, and not all at once, and no change is without its drawbacks. I’ve used create-react-app, I worked at a company that used machine learning in the JS build pipeline to do code splitting, I’ve used vanilla JS, and I’ve written some pretty damn cursed build systems for stuff like JS13K or 1K coding competitions. TypeScript sticks out as a rough spot in most build systems I’ve used, and the reason I still use it (most of the time—not always) is because the typechecking and IDE experience are just so damn good that it justifies the cost.

> It seems quite extreme modifying javascript for this considering you still would want to remove types in order to reduce bundle size, and you would still need the actual compiler because you have things such as enums, annotations and more that JS doesn't support either.

Not every change is applicable to all uses cases for everyone. That’s ok. If you decide to write TypeScript without enums you usually find that you don’t lose that much—it’s easy enough to do something like:

type LogLevel = "error" | "warning" | "info";

Obviously this is not a one-size-fits-all trick, but I find myself using TypeScript enums less and less these days.

There are also some dirtier TS tricks you can which let you create something kind of like Haskell’s newtype—pure type system stuff.

Spencer is not a global warming "denialist". He believes that warming is occurring, but that it is modest. The link is to Spencer's personal website, not some random "climate change denial website".

I have no opinion on Spencer's theology, since it is irrelevant and does not appear in his climate science work. Your slur of "creationist" is likely no more valid than calling him a "denialist".

I'm of the opinion it should be akin to workers compensation insurance, as in a pseudo-mandatory requirement to be a successful business (eligible for contracts, retention of employees, etc) but without such a high level of bureaucracy/informal disincentive and with a minimal burden of proof. I would think insurers would love this; it's a virtually guaranteed income stream, and the chances of any given payout are fairly low from an actuarial standpoint, even if abortion were to become absolutely illegal. It's so clear to me that it would be profitable to provide this that I'm 100% sure I'm missing something.

No one ever suggested that it was problematic that people have different cultures, or even that it’s bad to acknowledge that black culture is different from white culture, quite the contrary.

What’s problematic is the degree to which people can’t even entertain the idea that racism is the primary driver of these disparities, rather than things that are specific to POC, such a culture or genetics, especially given the clear and obvious precedent that is firmly established within this country.

What is a reach, is your reaction to this suggestion.
Absolutely. Why continuously reinvent the wheel when there are far more interesting problems to work on :)
That's the bit everyone seems to miss. Almost all these hypothetical opportunities for fraud fall apart quickly because they require an actual registered voter to exist but not vote, and the moment that voter walks through the door and is told they already voted, all hell will break loose.
I don't know the scheme used, but _you_ also need to be able to verify that the vote was counted correctly in this situation. So make sure you read the receipt.

It's better than what we have. Vote-changing can be uncovered by an audit. ... But I still prefer the coercion-resistant systems that let you verify your own vote was counted correctly after the fact. Someone else posted a link to a bunch of papers.

Regardless of what one thinks of it, it’s just a book. The idea that books can be dangerous is true, but not in the way that censors and moralists believe. Books can expand the way we think, opening up more possibilities for empathy and understanding.

The government should nationalise all the cellular towers and then sell radio airtime to the carriers just like the electric grid. Having multiple companies maintain separate infrastructure (that in the vast majority of cases isn't shared between them) is extremely wasteful and provides a worse service for everyone (a roaming foreigner would actually get a better experience than a UK resident as their SIM would seamlessly roam across all available carriers).

> but not a solution for cache invalidation

Yeah I have learned about some people have different perceptions of what cache invalidation means (I have a narrower definition, a subset of what some people think as cache invalidation). I will not die on this hill. I am happy to rename/rephrase/anything to be helpful.

> it doesnt sound like Polaris would handle a network partition well ...

Good question. And you are right. My thought on this is that over time, polaris would still catch those unique issues happened at network partition or whatnot. Polaris doesn't promise have 100% coverage all the time. However, over time, if there are flaws in the system, Polaris should help surface it. And once it did (even with just one inconsistent sample), it should be very actionable, and we can find out why it happened, and fix the underlying cause.

> I also feel like the consistency tracing is assuming that only one fill and invalidate is occurring at a time (when in practice, there may be multiple fills and invalidates occurring in parallel on the same data)... and that those calls will arrive in order. If they arrive out of order, it doesnt sound like it would catch that..

It doesn't make that assumption actually. Distributed systems are state machines. Consistency tracing essentially logs (it doesn't do much detection) state transitions. So when polaris detects an anomaly, we have all the information to help us diagnose. And you are right that fills and invalidations can happen in parallel and it's fine. E.g. if fill happens before invalidation, we can always track state mutations caused by the invalidation. If invalidation is the culprit (the earlier fill can't be because it happened earlier), we would have a log for it.
footnote: Looking at my phone's browser history, I read the article at https://tc39.es/proposal-type-annotations when making this comment. Not the github repo. I hadn't dove too deep into it, but it does seem that it specifies a syntax for the top level type declaration. I initially believed it was entirely unspecified what the contents between the : and = were. But it does try to specify some rules, but leaving anything inside a {}, [], <> and such completely unspecified.

My feelings are still the same in that I don't support the proposal.
If I understand this correctly, I think the definition of "friend" is too broad for this use case. It would be really helpful if I could only show folks who also follow me back, since they are much more likely to actually want to meet up.

> Why don't we convert all the power to DC in a central location before feeding DC power to the servers ?

The DC consumed by the server is 12V. AC is 240V (in Europe). That means you need about 20 times thicker wires to carry the same current. And running 240V DC doesn't win you anything because converting that to 12V DC is more trouble than converting 240V AC to 12V DC.

That doesn't mean it never happens, but it's more typical where distances are short. The network equipment you ISP has in a box somewhere on your street is often feed through AC for normal operation, but connected to the battery backup via a DC line. There cable runs are short and low-ish current, and the efficiency gain from not doing DC->AC->DC matters

I think their model doesn't allow you to express such a thing? At implementation level the client requests an id in a fixed range and gets back a 100KB chunk corresponding to that id; if there's no article for that id then it'll just get a chunk of all 0s, and to anyone without the client's key that's indistinguishable from a chunk with content in it.
