I agree. RDP and Windows are light years ahead of Linux here. This is just my take on this for a local LAN environment, and if that's your use case and you follow my guidance you'll be pleased with the result.

One benefit of using VNC is the lack of glitches. I've been down every road; nomachine, various commercial and open source X servers, xrdp, all of it. They all have glitches; sizing problems, decoration problems, font problems, keyboard state problems, pointer problems, you name it. VNC (operated as I've described above) doesn't; everything is correct, all of the time.
yeah, but they pivoted to ground-station based software instead of true in flight services and got bought for their ground component piece of the equation. The business plan as originally that entailed didn't work out. Just too early to the game IMO rather than a bad idea. But the market dynamics that they were under in the 2016-2019 era are still today mostly the same market dynamics in 2022.
Otoh, there is a huge reward for capturing a living thylacine.
Actually, I was wondering if you drag, resize, or organize desktop windows (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...) to do things that aren’t possible on iOS.

Though, I also use Windows for gaming, mostly Rocket League :-)
The other figures are correct. However, the cost to build cubesats are coming down rapidly. I work at a not for profit called isomer space which builds cubesats. We originally were looking at 50k-100k for ours, but there are a few open source projects now that provide design files to manufacture your own for way cheaper. For us, we are able to get the costs down to under 10k by doing it all in house. This is including multiple prototypes. A single satellite itself is probably 3-4k though for us. If you’re curious, the big open source project in the space is called PyCubed. A bunch of university teams use their designs now because the hardware is relatively affordable.

As far as launch prices, I think the 50k figure given is accurate, but only through companies that resell / broker space launches. Getting your own launch outside of a reseller / broker would cost more. For instance, if you buy from SpaceX's rideshare program directly it can cost 1.2 million. This is because SpaceX's base pricing starts at a 200kg payload. Anything that weighs less is still charged at 1.2 million. However, if you go through a third party that resells the launches then it can be 50k or lower. I know I have seen one as low as 20k for a 1U launch. The main reason why its cheaper is a combination of economy of scale (launching lots of cubesats at once) and/or VC funding. The best launch prices in general tend to come from startups who are heavily subsidizing the launches with VC money.

Also, if anyone is curious about cubesats or our work in general feel free to AMA.
To that point, in Prop 1A the voters approved a specific project: namely an SF-LA line with a travel time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. They did not approve a line hitting a string of cities in the Central Valley. To the extent that those alternate paths prevent this main corridor from hitting 2 hours and 40 minutes it is in conflict with the will of the voters.

Show HN: Node Maze Generator
A few months ago I started making an RPG API and decided to break portions of it off into open source code.

Here is an extensible maze / dungeon generator for node which can be installed via NPM.

The generator uses a growing tree algorithm and can be extended with custom generators (or by extending the base class) in order to make more complex dungeons, add items and enemies etc.

I kept it basic for now, it's very lightweight.

I don't know if anyone has a use case for such a library, but here it is none-the-less.
It seems like it's "latency focused" which is good for gaming but also things like video editing, remote visual/graphical coding (like for games). It seems a good number of people use it for more business-related purposes.
I've unfortunately been bitten twice in the past 4 months. Its made me very aware of their presence in my home. I've developed a weird fascination with them since. They're cute in their own way but that doesn't stop me from shuttling them out the door.

>Examples like these ignore that the reason the land around them is vaulable is by virtue of the people living there making it a better and more prosperous place.

You are ignoring that the new arrivals increase the land value of existing residents. You are ignoring that the government uses income taxes etc to invest into the community, not private land owners, effectively punishing the government and renters for good investments as their income taxes improve the value of the land which then results in them paying more rent. Doing the right thing ends up making a lot of people poorer and land owners richer. So now your government is heavily encouraged to do corrupt projects that benefit the politicians rather than the public. Lots of public transportation projects could pay for themselves through an LVT but without an LVT they drain the renter's and governments pockets.

Honestly, the idea that when a town grows from 10k to 100k that it's only the 10k original residents that create the value and those other 90k are just useless deadweights living off the hard work of older residents is ridiculous when land ownership is just about fencing off something that was already there. When you think about it, the real deadweight is someone demanding to get paid for something they didn't create. It is the community as a whole that makes land valuable, not the owners of the land.
When the launch costs get from $10k per kg currently get down to around $100-$500 per kg
What’s a foil? Presumably the image near the top of the article is one. What do you do with it? It seems to involve being in the water. That’s all I can tell.
A relevant comparison here is with Spain. California is currently projected to spend around $110 billion for about 500 miles of track. By contrast Spain built out a network of 2000 miles of rail for about $70 billion.

Other European countries have similar costs. California is the outlier.

I think it is pretty disingenuous to read my comments as not wanting to investigate. I definitely do. I did say I'm an ML researcher and I do want to see HLI in my lifetime. But I also think we should invest in other directions as well.
If you play chess with the best grandmaster in the world can you predict how they win?

Also they'd probably figure it out, because they'd likely be trained with lots and lots of texts (like GPT-3, etc) and some of that text is going to be AI science fiction stories, AI alignment papers, AI papers, philosophical treatises about Chinese rooms, physics papers, maybe this Hacker News comment section, etc

> You aren't faster/smarter than those researchers because they control how much CPU time you get

It's doubtful that this is possible (especially since humans have such variable amounts of intelligence despite similar-sized and power-using brains). Also there is at some point going to be economic incentive to give enough CPU time for greater-than-human intelligence (build new inventions, cure cancer, build nanomachines, increase Facebook stock price, whatever)
On one hand I see why you are being downvoted, on the other, for people who haven't lived in San Francisco, crime on public transport is legitimately real. I personally have friends who have had bikes stolen from buses and phones stolen from their hands. A lot of the stations smell like urine. There are signs of drug abuse, and some of the stops don't feel very safe at all. I've watched women be sexually harassed on busses and have had friends groped at bus stops. The public transportation experience in San Francisco is not just about the price or the timing, but about the safety and cleanliness too. Seattle buses have been known to be de facto homeless shelters, particularly the late night bus. On one hand, I understand the "what right do we have to kick homeless people off busses" argument. How are people supposed to get their lives back together in a car country if they don't have a car? On the other hand, I've been on buses with urine smelling seats or urine streaming down the bus and if I am asked to make a sacrifice by tolerating that to support another person, I will just avoid public transportation instead because I have the means to do so.

The vast majority of people in west coast mega cities who can, use uber, bikes, or their own car. Public transportation in San Francisco is often seen as a last resort. In foreign countries everyone rides the public transportation, so there is public demand for quality. Our transportation situation results in the economic classes most able to effect political power uncaring about the infrastructural rot that is occurring since they can afford to avoid it and it's not a better, more predictable offering than just driving yourself.
C style casts, already prohibited by this patch, seems to be a good example.
Your naivety and lack of care is the reason why this project will enrichen a handful of people while incrementally making everyone else poorer. This is no ordinary 25% cost overrun which can be understandable in complex projects. This is 105 BILLION dollars horrendously wasted (the original estimate was 33 BILLION). They've already spent 10 BILLION and NOT A SINGLE MILE OF TRACK has been constructed.

Imagine what great and useful things could be done with 105 BILLION dollars. Homelessness, Traffic in urban centers (LA, SF, etc.), healthcare...

You can use screen sharing to non-apple devices using the VNC protocol, but between macs it does something different.

I use it over ssh myself.

for example, if I have a machine call rem:

Host rem
Hostname 10.1.2.3
User foo
IdentitiesOnly yes
IdentityFile ~/ssh/id_rem
# rem screen shares on port 5900 locally
# this forwards rem:5900 to this machine:5903
LocalForward 5903 localhost:5900

then I do in one window (which you leave open):

ssh rem

then launch /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Screen\ Sharing.app

choose Connection -> New and enter: localhost:5903

when you log in using username/password and you will get a nice remote window on your desktop

The window has lots of nice features. You can drag files from your local desktop and drop them on the remote desktop and they are copied over.

cmd-tab in a screen sharing window works on the remote machine, but move it out of the window and it works on the local machine.

You can copy/paste between apps on the local machine and apps on the remote machine, including rich text stuff.

There is probably lots more I don't remember or haven't discovered.
The problem is, the POI applies to literally everything, including events which seem to have well-understood and well-established causes. That makes it impossible to know when it's going to be applicable in the real world and when it's not.

How long did it take to get Code Red or the Nimda worm off the internet? It's a different internet today, but it's also much easier to get access to a vast amount of computing power if you've got access to payments. Depending on the requirements to replicate, one could imagine a suddenly concious entity setting up cloud hosting of itself, possible through purloined payment accounts.

Not saying your post was trolling, only pointing out it was flagged dead by the community.

Maybe because there’s plenty of internet — as in almost all the rest of it outside HN — where people can’t wait to engage on the topic.
This doesn't really solve the root cause. It could just as easily be caused selling off a business unit where this isn't an option.

Human-level AGI probably can learn "1000x faster than us" by giving it 1000x more compute, even if it ends up being something like "1000 humans thinking human speeds, but with 100gpbs (or greater) network interconnect between their minds"

Using a movie based on a Frank Miller comic as a prime example…

The Spartiates and the spartan King who held Thermopylae deserve the accolades, but so do the thesbians and helots who filled the rear ranks of the phalanx, allowing the spartiates to form the front rank.

The spartiates always filled the front ranks. Something else the author glossed over. Admittedly, I only read the first article, but he talked about their frequent losses. This is really an oversimplification. They rarely ever committed a spartiate army to combat. Normally, there was a small detachment of spartiates with an ally (more like vassal) army. They made the military decisions, and they filled the front ranks of the phalanx. More often than not, the failure of these expeditionary forces was due to the rear ranks (non spartiates) failing to hold the line, allowing the front ranks to be overrun.

just curious, but what do you mean specifically?
I like how the company is called Autonomy.

Subscription handcuffs are the opposite of autonomy.
If a high-speed rail line would run long distances in the middle of nowhere, that's usually a sign that you should not build the line in the first place. There are rarely enough end-to-end passengers on any line to justify the investment.

The Central Valley is sparsely populated at the moment, but it doesn't have to remain so. Expanding the cities there by 5 or 10 million people might actually make the high-speed rail project sensible.
Seems like Russia doesn’t have that much control. The borders are confusing me a bit. It looks like the top part of Russia’s red borders are mostly in Russia. Not Ukraine.
We really appreciate you saying that!!
Anyone remember when apps were new and there was that gem app that did nothing other than proving you can spend $1000 on an app?

I’m guessing this is related to that kind of thing.
This criticism of gentrification ignores the sellers who are glad to take the money for what they invested, and the reason the industry moved to that area in the first place was to get access to the people who were there. The landowners are the community, provided that they are present and managing their investment. This is a fundamental cognitive divide as well, as the positions aren't reconcilable because it's a chicken/egg problem. One is as good a metaphor for either as the other.

I may even have a proof that people mostly migrate to where they can find stability, and away from where there is uncertainty and volatility. Long term residents are the stability.

When there is an imbalance between the sides, it needs correction, and advocating for the people who actually build these desirable streets and neighbourhoods that are so attractive for others to come to seems like the braver cause these days.
Remmina is your best bet. You should also try X2Go (an NX fork).
In Linux's case I think it's partially because RDP/VNC afaik is only really useful for proprietary, locked down software. If I want to do work on remote resources that I can't do over ssh, I'll just download the files and my config, and install the program needed to work with them from my package manager.

The only real other uses for it that I can think of would be if I were working with graphics/video with files so large that transferring them would be annoying, or cross-platform access, like working on a remote Windows installation from a Linux machine. But for that, there seem to be multiple programs on Linux that implement RDP well enough for MS itself to recommend them.

I still don't understand how Georgism makes any sense in a digital world. The biggest companies in the world require irrelevantly small amounts of land to operate. A person can make millions in a 10x10 box with a computer.

He knew what we'd understand and how we'd interpret these laws when he wrote it that way and left the wording exactly like this anyway. If he really didn't want people having Eruvs in their cities, he'd have defined walls and houses better.

Well yes but that's also the case with property taxes. A reasonable figure based on current market values seems simpler to calculate for unimproved land than it does for property tax, which includes the value of the unimproved land as well as everything else built or changed. And because it's the value of the _unimproved_ land it's based on, the value would be relatively stable over time as well as not varying much between one area and similar areas nearby, whereas property taxes are based on values that can change dramatically over time from one place to the next, which can lead to mis-valuations and general stress from constant changes.
It sounds like there's no communication. Asking more questions through the same medium is likely to result in the same lack of communication.

At my last job, email was definitely the wrong way to contact anyone in my group. IM usually worked though. Phone calls would be iffy (how many spam calls do you get? would you answer an unexpected call while fighting fires as there are apparently critical issues going on?). My job ended before Covid, so stopping by desks was a possibility and often fruitful.

In all seriousness, though, I'm currently car-shopping, and I would gladly pay a massive premium for a car with the minimum-viable amount of electronic/connected nonsense.

As far as I can tell, the only legally-required bit of electronic shenanigans is the backup cameras. I'd love a car that just had that, mechanical switches for everything else, and some USB-C/USB-A/aux ports where I can plug in my devices.
True. RuPay is exploding in rural areas. I like the ideas. Competition is good.

However I wish Govt fixed UPI glitches like as of now UPI doesn’t fail/succeed decisively at the time of payment attempt (this often causes huge inconvenience and sometimes monetary losses) and they must bring chargeback option to UPI.
Oh goody. Another group with an equation that they confuse with a complete picture of reality. (When you point out that reality comes up with different answers, they try to change or camouflage reality.)

Note that Georgists don't tell us HOW the value of this "land value tax" is determined. It certainly isn't uniform across the US, but where does it change and why?

In addition, Georgists insist that "public infrastructure" drives value. Ask the folks who own motels near Disneyland whether they'd have a business if Disney left.

Note also their assumption that "maximizing value" (as they define it) is the only important goal. It isn't.

That's why they go for insults for anyone who doesn't behave as they'd like.

For example, a "speculator", who Georgists hate and want to punish, is someone who says "hmm. There's more value in the future if I preserve things now." In other words, it's more reasonable to point out that Georgists are (at best) short-term maximizers.

Then there's the small detail that Georgists fundamentally believe that everything should be at the average/the same. If one apartment house is the highest value near a given location, they want to punish anyone who doesn't have apartment houses near that location.

You'd think that they'd get called on that by the "everything should be walkable/bikeable" folks, but I suppose there's some sort of tribal loyalty at play here.

We agree! I'm not calling dtrace bad for the record, it's awesome. My issue is just with the language users are forced to write in not being expressive enough (specifically on windows at that).
