Imagine this whole ordeal playing out on a house that was not listed for sale.

The buyer starts harassing the homeowner to sell to them, they say no, so he buys up the mortgage lender and tries to force a sale. His antics are hurting the home's value so you relent to selling and give him an as-is sale contract, which he signs and gives you 24 hrs to respond or he will try to force a sale.

All the while, this is of course taking your attention away from your day job and costing you countless thousands in legal bills.

Then, soon after signing the contract, the housing market crashes and the buyer claims he peaked in the window and it doesn't look as nice as he imagined (even though he had previously been publicly announcing that your house was crappy on the inside and that he was going to buy it and fix it up) and so he wants to break the deal.

You sue to make the deal go through, he countersues that you misrepresented.

Who could possibly be on the side of the buyer?

Extropians are everywhere. Many names come to mind, like Assange, Hal Finney, Jurvetson, Carl Feynman, and many others.

I hope that something like this group comes back, but with a vengeance. Call me an optimist, but if they had put their minds to it, they could have accomplished much more than a mailing list, which has unfortunately dwindled in the last 10 years.

People like to read Christopher Alexander because he decomposes problems and you understand why. So many people compared the two but in hindsight I think they were trying to say, "Read this, it's much better" without calling out the GoF book directly. Unfortunately what I felt and observed in others was that some sort of equivalence was being made, adding to and drawing out the confusion.
Well countries like people need opportunities even when things are not going well. If we take your logic once a country is on the down slope we would just abandon them? Personally I'm glad to hear of positive news coming out of Italy.
What I find fascinating about the very high level AI researchers who feel that their creations are sentient is not so much that what they see in AI seems to them to be "sentience", but what a dim view they have of human sentience. It seems that people who have rather underdeveloped senses of self and others would be most susceptible to seeing machines as "sentient" since they don't really have much of a view of sentience to start with.
The Nathan For You episode where he makes a video of a goat being saved in a pond by a small pig that went insanely viral pretty much made me aware that anything I could be watching has been manufactured.

I like this! I would actually like an option to disable the feature where it marks a word when it's 100% correct, because it makes it too tempting to just "brute force" one word at a time instead of trying to solve the whole puzzle using the letters available. (As in, I think it would be more fun to have a "hard mode" where you do the small puzzle with no feedback at all until it's 100% correct, instead of just doing a larger puzzle.)

Just a few observations

> It also uncovered that the parts component of a BEV job is typically 28% cheaper than an ICE car due to them having fewer working parts, with brake wear far lower

Not sure if comparing 850,000 fleet cars and vans with high end EVs (a majority of EVs in UK are still high end cars) it's a fair comparison.

Of course brake wear on vans is going to be an order of magnitude worse than a Tesla or a Porsche Taycan, with their oversized braking systems.

> But Fleet Assist, which has provided the analysis, warns that the SMR price reductions are not guaranteed in the longer term due to the rising operating costs of garages.

it's not clear why that should make a difference between ICE and EV.

> “Garages are already starting to come to terms with how EVs will impact their servicing revenues and workshop traffic in the longer term. We may see more garages looking at ways to address how the paradigm shift of BEV aftersales is going to challenge their service provision and fees they charge,”

So basically, sounds like there is still more "fluff work" that garages can do nowadays on ICE cars to make more money and are not ready to do the same for EVs yet.

But the day when they'll invent the (unnecessary) "you absolutely need a change of oil" or "break pads are gone, we have to change them" for EVs is just around the corner.
What's the reason? I guess because it's easier to write?
Yes, we can put whatever odious symbols on our products.

The Confederate flag is a bit weird because there's enough of the population that apparently doesn't see it that way, so some stores will even display products that have it. (Personally I find it to be an awful symbol and wouldn't stick around if I saw it displayed).

An example that is more like what you've described is something like a Nazi swastika -- technically you can sell something with a swastika on it (I'm 99.9% sure) but almost no stores would be willing to put it on the shelves, certainly no major chains or whatever.
> "always nice" is a matter of speaking.

Incorrectly. It's a matter of speaking incorrectly.
Looks nice, but a cheaper alternative is this one that can be plugged into the car battery. If you don't trust the pressure gauge, you can buy a nice one and still have some money left over.

44100hz sample rate is enough to reproduce well above the highest frequency even young humans can hear, and 16 bits of depth is enough for 96db of dynamic range, enough to make the noise floor of any consumer system totally inaudible.

Standard CDs might not be good enough for archival and further production work (where you also need wiggle room for further processing or format changes), but they have plenty of headroom to reproduce any kind of sound for playback purposes. Any more is just placebo.

What you're saying is that you'd rather believe "experts" than not believe them. This is religion, not rationality.

I loved the old Byte issues with the fun covers (I still want to buy prints of a couple like the AI and Smalltalk covers). This particular one was a bit funny because my mom thought it was more of that D&D crap[1]. Thinking about it, reading the DMG and articles about Lisp, might make me think she had a point.

Unequivocally yes, I think transhumanism is a good idea.

Arguing against transhumanism is arguing that you believe either (a) the body was created perfectly or (b) that we'll do more harm than good if we tinker with it.

The body is a machine. A bloody complicated machine, with many parts we don't understand, but a machine nonetheless.

I don't believe in a future where substantial body modification doesn't make us better, in all objective senses.

And we do it today: vaccinations, pacemakers, artificial hips and joints and valves, cochlear implants, the myriad of drugs to modify various bodily processes, limb replacements, mRNA drugs.

The body is programmable: it's just very complex. But that hasn't stopped up as a species from achieving other equally difficult things.
This is so mind-boggling to me, because the article links directly to the official Github repo that shows it's all C++, and if you even try searching "electron" in that repo you only get one Readme file that says "we don't use things like Electron"... and the article that links to this repo says it's Electron. How the actual...
The "LE" is more about behavior, rather than some power-saving tech. It affords low-energy-use behavior. Short bursts, ad hoc connections, small amounts of data, etc. If we make it behave like Classic, it will suck energy like Classic.

I like using BLE, more than Classic (BR/EDR). It's a bit pedantic, getting things set up, but that can be abstracted, fairly easily[0].

If we program for iOS/WatchOS/TVOS/iPadOS, we'll generally be using LE, as Core Bluetooth is designed around LE. Classic is there, but IOBluetooth is only meant for MacOS, and is a private API, on the other platforms.

LE is basically meant for short busts of control information, or small bits of data. Its encryption is pretty good. You can actually have a meaningful dialogue, just using the advertising information, so a connection is not always required (beacons use this).

I have heard that they will be adding some high data-rate stuff to LE, so we may be seeing true LE headphones, in the future.

Other than PhD students at universities (undergrads are often just there for the degree), I'd recommend https://www.lesswrong.com/ , certain subreddits, MOOC platforms like Coursera or EdX, and here on Hacker News (this very thread actually spawned a discourse group: https://discord.gg/WyRBDGgeCG )

A simple heuristic: search for submissions about Zettelkasten, Evergreen notes, spaced repetition, and similar knowledge organization or learning methodologies and tools (Roam Research, Notion, Obsidian, Anki, etc). If someone is sufficiently motivated to write down and study new things they encounter, it's likely that they seriously love to learn.

If you really follow Italian politics you'd know it's been like that for 200+ years -- that's how the place operates. And with all that going on they managed to create a world-class automotive industry, ship-building industry, industrial equipment industry, etc.

I have the feeling you are talking about Italy through the lens of western media, and not through first-hand knowledge or experience.

Industrially, Italy is much more like South Korea than Greece or Spain.

Most of the time people will argue that vinyl has "warmth" and this makes it subjectively better. This is true, but it's actually because of the pleasing distortion record players add to the music. Being distortion, even if it improves your listening experience (and this depends on genre, though it generally does), it is certainly objectively worse in terms of accurate reproduction.
I don't honestly believe either side cares about the merits of the legal case - this is all just a very public and showy exercise to negotiate on a new price during a settlement.

> At the poorest levels wages are slowest to increase due to inflation

Why would this always have to be true? For example, if the supply of labor sellers at the bottom decreases due to decreasing birthrates, immigration, or people who are no longer employable due to drug addiction. It seems conceivable to me that the lowest paying jobs would have to contend with decreasing supply of labor by increasing the pay.

Perhaps the increased pay then causes increased prices for goods/services which then cause sufficient decrease in aggregate demand that demand for the labor then starts decreasing so it pushes wages at the bottom back down , but I do no see why that has to be case.

The S-100 bus was popular with an early generation of machines with 8080 or Z-80 processors that ran CP/M, though there were a few counter examples.

By the time I started reading Byte at the public library (1980) there were a few computers that were mass market like the TRS-80, Apple ][, Commodore PET, TI-99/4A, etc. Mass market computers were talked about a lot in the editorial in Byte but Byte was also full of ads for more exotic machines aimed at OEMs, for instance to build a cash register system for a supermarket. Cromemco, for instance, advertised harder than anybody, but it was rare to see Cromemco and other exotics talked about in the articles.
I don't really doubt the numbers...in fact, I thought them a bit low. My feeling is that this will really change the automotive landscape for the overall lifecycle of a car. Seems to me that the dealership currently doesn't worry too much about immediate margin on a new car. They know that that car will come back to them for in-warranty service (which the dealer bills back to the manufacturer) and after-warranty service (loyal customers afraid to go to a less expensive garage). In a nutshell, all the real money is the recurring revenue for service. EVs will require less service...so I'm thinking the dealer will just keep their margin higher up front to make sure they don't lose after the sale. I would bet the dealers would rather sell some sort of EV that needs frequent/predictable/reasonable service...thus supporting the annuity model that has existed for decades. What to do? Build super high quality EVs that need almost no maintenance? Then you don't need that expensive dealer network. But consumers want that dealer to visit and complain to when things don't work...and that costs money. In the end, I think consumers will need to realize that their overall experience and expectations of car ownership are in for a big shake up over the next few years.

One can occasionally do engine braking in an ICE car, but it is simply not feasible to use it for most, or even significant fraction of one’s braking needs: try driving through a city without touching brake pedal (actually please dont, it’s dangerous). On the other hand, in an electric vehicle/hybrid, you can use regenerative braking for a huge chunk of braking situations. If you use it half of the time, that extends life of brake pads by 100%, which is huge.
