This is very interesting for me because I have almost the inverse experience of this. When I was a child I was diagnosed with migraine induced absent seizures. I think it was mostly a "we don't really know what this is, but here's a diagnosis so you can stop bothering us". I mostly grew out of it, but a few times per year I'll have an episode.

What will happen is that suddenly and out of the blue I'll completely lose any sense of reality. I'll have words, but that's almost it. I have no sense of self. If it happens when I'm doing something, like walking around the grocery store, I can still identify where I am, and what's going on, but there's no real sense of me doing it. It almost feels as if I'm in a video game and I'm "above" myself. My consciousness completely disassociates from my body. When I was a kid it would scare the absolute shit out of me and I'd panic. Several times I would run away from where I was, thinking I was going to die (it's really hard to explain the sense of not having a self, but it's incredibly frightening). As I've gotten older I've been able to deal with them as they subside within 60-120 seconds.
4K is still not enough to get rid of pixel perfect icons.

So, another 10-20 years before nor requiring a pixel grid becomes a reality? So why pretend we don't need it now?
If I understand things correctly, it's because the MBS buyers finally said that they believe inflation is going to be persistent and they require much higher returns. This opinion was unanimous. It came as a shock and indicates rates need to go higher, potentially much higher, in order for the market to continue to function. These higher rates, and the rate at which they're rising, could shock the housing market leading to ripples throughout the economy.
More of a Musk fan myself.

Since you mentioned him, Jim Simons has a really good interview too and it was pretty cool to hear his story [1]. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it and are into RenTec.

Is 120km/h considered a high enough speed for aircraft now? That looked like a very short span of time to use the main wings, and it was still going barely faster than a car.
I’m really skeptical of the moon plan unless they can find a source of mercury on the moon itself. Mercury is heavy. If you’re going to build a moon telescope and pay for launching it there from Earth, you might has well pay for a good telescope that’s not limited to always looking up. In other words, the cost of the launch would make the price difference between a mercury telescope and a more conventional one negligible.
that's not really technical debt, if mono repo makes sense at the moment, and you will change later, it's not technical debt, that's just a choice, there's no debt. While you are using the monorepo, there's nothing to "pay off". If after you make the change, but you don't do it fully, then you start having things to "pay off".

> it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.

That's awesome! Way more decentralized projects should be like this.

I think it's worth keeping the custom protocol. SSB is a bit limited, it's missing the ability to pseudo-delete like most social sites have, and it's not natively multi-writer. That's a lot of complexity added.

I was interested in building something with a similar model, for IoT devices, and one thing I was going to use to make things easier was a pseudo-DHT.

There could be a list of servers with random IDs, that people could add themselves to using pull requests.

Your suggested default server is the one in the default pool(Or whichever other pool you selected) that has the closest ID.

Any two nodes could always find each other as long as they used the same pool.

Also, another thing I was going to do was to have relays have "upstream pools", and know what their "peers" are, so that pools could join together.

Your records would be replicated to the closest relay in the pool you select, and if the upstream pool had an even closer node, on that one too.

After that I was going to have relays automatically try to fetch things from upstream, so that people could over time build a network that worked like a P2P network, but without the P2P.

I think the big challenge with this is that open servers will fill up very fast with crap. Some way of clearing out said crap seems essential.

Maybe relays should be able to request things from clients. After a few weeks they could drop old posts, but clients would mark themselves as archives, and the relay could get stuff again from the original poster or friends.

This looks like an incredibly promising approach, maybe even one of the better ones I've seen. It's been a while since I saw something decentralized I might actually use!
Distributed architecture and mono repo are really orthogonal issues.
Wait, yours doesn’t?
What specific use case would you be using that for?

Besides something like camping where you can charge before you go and use it to keep some lower-power devices like cell phones and flashlights charged I can't really see where it'd be useful. It's not big enough for a job site or home backup power, and really just doesn't compete well against even much, much cheaper gasoline generators.
The difference is how much risk one takes to do something new. A core critique of the culture is that it doesn't produce anything new, but copies from others with ruthless execution.
Maybe I'm spoiled, which I'm willing to consider being true. However, one could assume that projects at this stage would use versioning, pinning, and documenting the changes to the api, which obviate the need for these types of disclaimers. All caps disclaimers like this could discourage those who are otherwise capable from giving it a shot.

Im not saying this is deno's fault, maybe it is and maybe it isn't, I'm only saying I'm noticing that rather than documenting through breaking changes people would prefer to make prominent disclaimers that are essentially buyer beware
>this could be similar, but way bigger and uncommon

Reminds me of the Boltzmann Brain. If something is so unlikely, is it ok to assume it actually happened?

>Why should that be a problem? Or, in any case, more of a problem that an entity without a cause of its own?

If we say the current world is just a simulation in a different world, we haven't solved anything. We're back where we started: how did that world begin. There's been no change in the situation.

If we say the current world was created by an eternal being with no cause, then we're not back where we started.

> I prefer to think that they work the same as the things we know about

If we don't know what caused the big bang, then I don't think we can say how similarly or differently other things will happen.

>If the universe is its own cause, there would be no separation between 'creating' behaviour and 'following' behaviour. Those are just labels we assign to understand what we perceive as causality (a.k.a. predictable effects).

But when we look at the universe, it looks like there is following behavior. A tree's shape is caused by DNA and how the cells behave, and that's caused by proteins, caused by molecules, caused by chemical reactions, caused by the electron structure, caused by subatomic particles.

When I look at this, and with your idea that we should interpret things to behave similar to what we know, it seems to me that since these elements of the universe have a cause, every element of the universe has a cause.

>we humans have a tendency to anthropomorphize phenomena

Yeah, I agree we shouldn't assume God is like us. It's not possible for God to be an old guy sitting on a cloud if a cloud is something in the created universe and sitting is an action requiring time and space, and God is outside time and space.

On the other hand, isn't it possible that God created the universe so that it would end up being like this, with humans the way we are? And God might have wanted us to be like him in some ways (free will, the capacity to love).
You’re right, the upside is fixed at 17% and my comment wasn’t really addressing the contents of yours, but the general sense of unease I get talking to people about their “crypto positions” as if having some > 1% (often a lot more) portion of their whole net worth “in crypto” is a reasonable part of a balanced portfolio.
You might think so, but historically that doesn't seem to be the case. Prices rise as interest rates drop, but prices are sticky on the way down. This article is old but still relevant: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/07/how-ris...
I don't know, but the calibration also has to be re-done if you have a camera replaced.
You're sidestepping a lot of infrastructure difficulties by putting it at the household level. Your giant battery has to be put somewhere!

This is why I'm also pretty happy about solar, because you sidestep a lot of the NIMBY stuff that comes with building huge solar farms.

It's not at all ideal, though I don't know how inefficient it is (this model means that upgrades can happen gradually as well, instead of being multi-decade projects). But hey, you try building anything in most modern city bureaucracies filled with people who care about their real estate values.
There's a big difference between "professionalism can be part of your self-worth" and "your work is the only source of your self-worth". Second part may be unhealthy - though, frankly, we probably would miss a lot of inventions and scientific discoveries if not for people that lived for their work - but the former is completely normal. "Untangle" is such a bad word to describe it - there's nothing wrong with your work being part of who you are, being tangled into it - provided there are other threads in that tangle.
You can’t just slap “perhaps” on arbitrary statements and expect to not be corrected if they’re inaccurate.
> I really love my Google smart home speaker and it's been extremely useful day to day.

There's lots of uncertainties on my life, but the fact I don't want a "Google smart home speaker" isn't one of them.

In fact, I just had a realization. If you have to say something is "smart", then it's shit. Then reason is, when a product is useful you don't need to call it smart to sell it.
This on its own should only create a single inflationary shock, not a spiral.
One limitation I’ve seen on this is that the same mechanism can’t remove carbon dioxide, so this is limited to supplemental oxygen in like a surgery or emergency scenario vs a long-term alternative to say a tracheotomy.
Dumb questions about web push: would one see a gradual uptick in resources consumed by webworkers as they accumulate notifications from different sites? Would they keep the antenna/modem on a phone awake constantly?

The big advantage of the current centralized model is that it's easier to coalesce notifications and the OS only has to maintain a single connection. Would hate to see my battery take a hit as a result of a move away from that model.
Lilium's quoted range goal is not possible with today's batteries--not by a long shot. This is why in part there is an investor lawsuit agains the company.

The only company touting range achievable with today's battery tech is Archer, and their range, when you factor out reserve and inefficiencies, is about ~40 miles (~65KM.)

It's great if you're a cash buyer. Of course it will be difficult to raise that cash if the economy dives and/or real wages(after inflation) keep sinking. But, if you have the cash, you may be rewarded with some good deals on housing. You're generally better off paying a higher rate and less for the actual property since you can always refinance down the line but you can't renegotiate what you paid for a property.
> If the browser was capable of the things the reddit product team wanted to do, they wouldn't need to bug you to install their silly web wrapper app.

Reddit is text with images. That is literally the core of what web is.

The only reason Reddit breaks their web version and pushes you towards the app is because Reddit wants to monetize the hell out of reddit, and doing that through the app is easier.

I'm kind of the guy you're directing this comment at, I think.

I bought 40 acres adjacent to national forest service land and I keep about 38 acres of it wild. I try to improve the forest and provide good habitat, and I've been rewarded with a lot of wildlife.

I've said in another comment, I'm an hour from a hospital.

I am both doing a lot for my local ecosystems, and also demanding that a national forest owned by the national government thousands of miles away be preserved as wild.

You can change the phrasing to attack the idea, but that's my idea as I intend it.

The people there can serve their own interests just fine. I think a whole lot of us can help keep wild places wild, and that's equally important as you working locally.

Do we even know what the locals think, by the way? Like actual normal people who live there? I would bet it's not a one-sided issue.
> Wow. This makes me feel like I have to stop using Firefox.

I already had that urge in a powerful way after the last ESR update filled my browser with seemingly impossible to remove Bing and Google search hooks, among other obnoxious commercial b.s. I specifically use Firefox to not have shoved in my face at the browser internals level.

I'd probably be using Epiphany/GNOME Web full-time if it provided a noscript analog.
Nice, was not sure how stable such a setup would be. The applications will not need further modification and just need to be sent over the bond.

For MPTCP, as of today the applications over the mptcp-stream (which has subflows over the 2 media) need to be modified to use MPTCP, or an additional layer like with shadowsocks needs to be used to transparently encapsulate traffic over the link.
AFAIK AMMs are a workaround for the fact that Ethereum smart contracts are too slow to implement a normal order book matching engine.

Yes, missing immutability is a big part of the problem in Go.

Given that Go eschewed generics for the longest time, I can sort of see why they left out immutability markers:

To keep your sanity, you'd want some functions to take (and return!) both mutable and immutable data, as the situation requires. But some other functions should only take mutable data or only immutable data.

Thus ideally you'd need some kind of 'generic' (im-)mutability handling in your type system.

(Rust's borrow checker is basically one way to really deal with this (im-)mutability genericity.

For example, a function to do binary search on a sorted array doesn't change the array; thus it could take either a mutable or immutable version. But if the array changes (via another thread) while the function is running, then you might get into trouble.)

> The company’s human resources department said he had violated Google’s confidentiality policy. The day before his suspension, Mr. Lemoine said, he handed over documents to a U.S. senator’s office, claiming they provided evidence that Google and its technology engaged in religious discrimination.

As for what he means by "religious discrimination":

> Mr. Lemoine, a military veteran who has described himself as a priest, an ex-convict and an A.I. researcher, told Google executives as senior as Kent Walker, the president of global affairs, that he believed LaMDA was a child of 7 or 8 years old. He wanted the company to seek the computer program’s consent before running experiments on it. His claims were founded on his religious beliefs, which he said the company’s human resources department discriminated against.

Why every week? Usually you do it once and adapt when you need a new plugin, which is usually a matter of minutes.
I'm only pointing out you'll get better results today, in all browser, by upscaling offline and then letting the browser downscale than upscale in the browser via `image-rendering: pixelated`

The question was "Why are they using image that's been upscaled offline" and I have a reasonable explanation why someone might want to do that.

TL,DR; because it looks better across devices.
So you are not in the Linus-'respect has to be earned' camp.
I really enjoyed the first season / series. I feel the earliest episodes often had a great cinematic feel to them, and would in their short runtime take time to show long, wide shots to establish atmosphere.

I felt as the show went on, it became more and more silly, and I lost interest. I'm not sure how many episodes I ended up watching and at what point Miyazaki and Takahata left.

The movie is they directed was also very good.

I did enjoy the dark themed, somewhat recent spinoff "A woman named Fujiko", which is also recommended by a sibling comment.
Web push notifications are also delivered through APNS, the service worker only gets woken up once there is a notification, it doesn't poll, so that shouldn't be much different from a regular app.
It is sad its new car with 70kwh cannot be a battery like ionic …
I wonder what the average power usage is for this target market. I just pulled up my (Tokyo-based, February, 2 person ap't) power bill and it comes out to 670W on average over the month.

People complain about lack of central heating, but I do wonder if that means that in the end lots of space is not being heated.

EDIT: According to [0], Household consumption on average in Japan hovers between 800W and ... 1200W. Of course bigger battery = more time, but 8 hours and 4 hours is definitely qualitatively different.

What happens when buyers disappear for the homes in the expensive markets? The prices drop, and the cash available to buy in a cheaper market dries up.

You can argue that people just will stay put, but that assumes they have the ability to service the debt on their home in the expensive area. It doesn't take many forced sales in an illiquid market to drive down prices. It can also drive a panic rush for the exit as folks think they're missing the last chance to cash out of their expensive home.

I saw a couple of open houses today in the south SF Bay. Ghost towns. I can't say if that's representative of the overall market, but I think the pipeline is already draining.
As a perrenial night owl, I always wish there was parallel social systems from schools to businesses to accomdate people who thrive at night. But enabling 8 hours of sleep after midnight bedtime is a start.
Erlang was fun to use!

But even with Erlang, concurrency is hard. Any single process's data is immutable, but if you split a process in twain, the resulting union can behave as if it had mutable state.

And let's not forget about ETS (term storage), which is basically a mutable hash table that you often have to use to get anything done.

In any case, I agree that Go did _not_ improve on Erlang.
I'm going to hop on the side of the AI on this one. I trust it more than google execs anyway
It’s clear from the article and the chain of parent comments that we’re talking about threads with preemptive multitasking and access to a shared integer in memory. I didn’t say INC/DEC are unsafe; I said they don’t satisfy the contract of the function in the article, the whole point of which is about the return value. If you (e.g.) combine an INC/DEC with a MOV to fetch the return value, that’s unsafe. You can make it safe with a critical section, but that may be unnecessarily inefficient. The XADD instruction referenced in the article, when it’s available (486+), can be used to satisfy the contract without this overhead.

For a few months until they default, sure. There's a reason they're so cheap.
It is striking how there is literally not a single mention of what the community members think about this officer in your comment, only the satisfaction of other officers, even when talking about something--enforcement of "trivial violations"--that might have a direct negative effect on the community members.

Looks like they like to go direct to “save on management fees” and “pursue environmental goals,” so they probably get excluded from good deals.
And sadly, Google isn't even the worst. At least they seemed to allocate quite a few resources for turning off old systems and decommissioning them.

At many other enterprises, old systems never properly die.

It's just as hard, or often harder, to migrate off the last few uses of a system compared to launching a new system. But while you can get promoted for launching a great-enough new system in almost any organisation, good luck getting promoted for your heroic efforts in shutting down obsolete systems.

(I guess it's technically possible. Just unlikely in most places.)

It's also kind of a sham, "reducing demand" basically means reducing the amount of cash people have to spend, since it currently exceeds the amount of goods we can supply. The nominal prices of things might go down but the average American won't be able to afford any more, since the whole point was to reduce demand.

Even worse, higher rates tend to strengthen currency value, which makes imports cheaper but hurts domestic exports. It's already very hard to devalue the USD due to its status as a reserve currency and this exacerbates that problem. We run the risk of triggering a manufacturing recession, which will helpfully "reduce demand" with layoffs but not make anyone better off.
