I don't know. Freewill has been meaning less and less for me over the years. Right now I'm between "there is no freewill" and "there might some, but waaay less than we usually think there is.

I'm no Zen monk, but having studied a bit of Zen-Buddhism and having practiced meditation for close to 10 years in a regular manner, the idea that we might not have freewill doesn't sound all that bad.

I think people are putting way to much emphasis on the concept of an "I" who has or doesn't have freewill. Trying to figure out whether or not we are "free" is like the eye who tries to see itself, or the fire that tries to burn itself. Maybe science is finally catching up to the Buddhist concept of the absence of ego.

For me the biggest implication is that, and this is my own personal lighthouse in these dark and uncertain times, true freedom is not having options or the "freedom" to choose. True freedom is not needing anything to be my real self and to be at peace. Zen is the real self.

Bitcoin was the original blockchain, thus blockchain's original use case was financial. And it does have to be this way, they don't work otherwise, unless you just want Bittorrent.

Regardless what Ethereum PR tries to claim, the reality is, public, permissionless, decentralized blockchains only work because they are designed to self-fund, and require everything running on them to pay into the system in some manner. They are all fundamentally financial.
How to run Stable Diffusion locally
It's not just drift, even though that statistically is more likely to happen in JoyCons, there were/are quite a few issues with Switch controllers:

* Big connectivity issues for a long while after launch(I couldn't play on my couch with the switch in front of my TV)

* Aforementioned drift

* Sticky buttons on Pro controllers, those still happen

* None of the Nintendo controllers correctly advertise polling rate for BT HID, so they're impossible to use on most phones

All of that at more than premium prices, even in refreshed/newly produced units.
Why billing is not just 'Build' or 'Buy'
It's a brilliant plan really. First, the Ethereum foundation premines the entire supply of ether, then distributes some of it to the "public" through a sale and the rest to miners. Eventually the Foundation produces an upgrade that replaces mining with validators posting collateral in the form of the very token that was premined.

What the announcement doesn't say is how similar Ethereum will become to Ripple post-merge. Yes Ripple doesn't have anywhere near the fancy contract capabilities of Ethereum, nor does it have the concept of validators posting collateral or getting rewards. But in terms of where the power resides and the existence of major chokepoints, they're both very similar.
Which city?

The tube in London isn’t really even suitable for suitcases, let alone push chairs. Nor is the New York subway. Anyone that puts stairs in a transit hub needs to have a good long think about what they’ve done.

Perhaps Hong Kong, Seoul or Tokyo I could see this being the case though.
That's my guess too, but my argument is less that this arises from a specific place of malice or intention, and rather this phenomena comes from an uncritical approach to handling the dataset. There is, for instance, no reason not to group all the CJK data as "Asian" for the sake of similarity with the rest of the ethnicities. But in uncritically reflecting the dataset, it introduces downstream effects that could potentially be amplified in later work.
All the issues you mentioned do have popular support. Abortion rights in particular are supported by 60-70%+ of the US population. The reason it doesn't translate to policy is simply because voting power isn't equally distributed. The electoral college, Senate seat distribution, Supreme Court appointments all distort people's individual representation in this country. If there truly were direct referendums on these topics then the outcome would be very different.
"k8s saves a TON of time if you need to run on more than 1 machine and you use a managed solution (by AWS/GCP/Azure) and only use it as a glorified docker container orchestrator."

How? Just use AppService / EC2 for managed machines. Scales just as well.

"Ingress solves how to route HTTP traffic coming into your domain."

This is actually helpful and "easier" out of the box than putting nginx in front of statically hosted sites, so I will reluctantly give you this one.

"PersistentVolume solves how and where to store data."

You need a DB most of the time. Managed DBs are easier.

"LivenessCheck solves how to restart your crapware when it freezes. Just don't go crazy with it unless you actually need the fancy stuff."

Our crapware doesn't freeze. Needs a custom Health Check endpoint. Can just as easily restart the instance when that check fails.

K8S is a ton of extra overhead for no gain. We have this debate at work all the time. Great resume builder though.
Except that these transactions do eventually go through. It’s a relatively soft form of censorship - and doesn’t actually achieve the goal of preventing the transactions.

IMO - this behavior is a blip. As soon as it becomes clear that “censorship” isn’t effective, it will become less popular for validators to do it at all.
The price of $0 for powering up existing hardware in a car I purchased for $X makes sense. Anything over $0 does not. Seems pretty clear.
My stationary PC is a modern AMD Zen 3 setup. It runs Windows 11 pro for workstations latest developer release, TPM and other settings completely enabled, no stuttering whatsoever.
AMD's fTPM is a gratis bonus as far as I'm concerned. Bitlocker's disk encryption can be used without TPM. It's less convenient - Windows needs to read the cryptographic key from a USB flash drive at boot - but I'm willing to bet it's much easier to get used to than 3 years of glitching and stuttering.
When my cars basic functions stop working I'd rather it be that they're actually broken, not that I've lapsed on payments. I agree that it's definitely a matter of degrees, there are a finite number of months in the useful lifetime of a vehicle so for the right price it might be preferable, I just usually drive a vehicle for as long as possible. All that being said, aren't we all tired of unnecessary monthly subscriptions? Not to mention the fact that there's the predatory implication they simply hope you forget you're paying.
That's not the point. If no one knows the language, no one knows if it's appropriate. All you know is the language marketing claims
> The sad reality is that if you could wave a magic wand and make all guns in the USA vanish immediately (or just privately held guns if you enjoy being pushed around by people in uniform), in a month's time you would have a gun problem again.

This is just completely untrue, as demonstrated by various countries that have such bans in place. The ease of acquiring firearms is the primary driver of many people having firearms. Maybe one person in a hundred here will go to the trouble of acquiring a dumpy 3d-printed gun. Japan does not have a gun problem - one person going to huge effort to create their own gun is not a problem.

In general your thesis seems to be that ease/legality of acquisition & manufacture of weapons will have no impact on the quantity of weapons available, because technical workarounds exist. This is a fairly common point of view among technologists, or at least its analogue is often seen when a new service is announced - "you can already easily do this with [technically-complicated solution], so this new service is not needed". This point of view has a long track record of failure. Of course making something easier lets more people do it! Most people are really not that motivated to do things! Conversely, making something more difficult ensures fewer people will do it.
The root problem with the US education system is the same thing with the rest of US government programs:

There is no bankruptcy mechanism for government agencies.

Bankruptcy removes poorly run private companies from the marketplace. There is no such mechanism for government agencies... so poorly run agencies remain in place a hundred years after they lost their effectiveness.

Why does a public school classroom still look the same today as it did 150 years ago? Ridiculous. Remove the education government agency and you will see hundreds of better options spring up.

Also - bring back corporal punishment. Sure, it was misused in 1% of cases, but it has led to 1000x the problems from students who have no respect for teachers.
When I assembled by PC in 2020, stuttering was caused by the RAM RGB light driver. No more GSkill-Z Trident RGB in this box. Or any RGB driver.
His listing of uses and the video of him taking apart that post covering didn't really convince me. I feel like a flat pry bar and a 3 pound sledge would have performed just as well, and they're smaller and more generally useful. I would have liked to see a video of the Burke bar in action on a bigger job, perhaps the additional scale would have demonstrated its niche.

Also the springiness of the pry part doesn't seem like a helpful feature (you want to transfer your shock force, not smooth it), but rather a necessity to prevent it shattering.
It's bad, but it's just moving reality editing a few levels down the stack.

This is aspirational virtue signaling and everyone knows it won't happen by the deadline.

If the state government was serious about this, they would be installing chargers all over the place.

I think there is a significant chance that a backlash against this kind of coercion will reduce support for climate policy as a whole and will ultimately be counterproductive for efforts to reduce emissions.
But you’re not forced to use AR. No one is going around slapping VR headsets on people to “hide the homeless”.

Doesn't cover gun control or abortion rights. Those would be cheap.
With Tesla, the recurring revenue model makes sense. You get features that can consume considerable bandwidth and mobile data, things that can have considerable cost to Tesla. People usually cite the music streaming and satellite maps, but you also get Netflix, YouTube, and a dozen other video streaming services.

I don't use those video streaming services often in my car (usually just when waiting for a table at a restaurant), but I'm sure there's a long tail of people that spend a lot of time Supercharging and will watch hours of content every month and consume tens or even hundreds of GB of mobile data.
All of the companies I've worked for in the last few years who were Rails stack on Heroku have or were migrating to k8s deployments on the big three (AWS/GCP/Azure). For personal apps I'm looking at consolidating my stuff to Digital Ocean.
The time-to-crack varies depending on the game. Cracks for popular games such as Dying Light 2 and Far Cry 6 were released months after the games were initially released. Less popular games such as Burnout Paradise Remastered have yet to be cracked.

So this anti-consumer garbage is likely calculated, by the publisher, to be worth paying for Denuvo even if it eventually gets cracked.
I was pretty unhappy with the outage last night. All the user blogs for https://bearblog.dev went down for about an hour and a half (and I had so many emails to respond to this morning).

I'm looking to move Bear over to either a Digital Ocean droplet (I have the staging server running on one with SQlite and Litestream running, and believe it could actually scale well), or to Fly.io (to be seen).
gonna migrate to vercel and serverless infra like planetscale db

still on heroku for now though. it's really aged but held up very well for popular use cases at a not obnoxious price.
This shortcoming becomes immediately apparent when you try to use certain VMs, like from Vultr, which are IPv6-only with no CG-NAT. You can't clone anything or fetch any release binaries at all.
Ask HN: Example of Useful and Novel, but Obvious
While I understand the intent of “non-obvious” being a requirement for patentability — in practice find it hard believe something would be useful and novel, but obvious. All the examples I have seen to me appear to just lack novelty.

Anyone able to provide an example of something that would fall into the category of useful and novel, but obvious - where being obvious is the only reasoning for being non-patentable?

Wow. That's quite something. I like Go, but more often than not I keep stumbling upong these kind of situations (N LOC to do something in Y, 10xN to do it in Go).
Saab also had the "night panel" feature where when night driving you could turn down the non-essential dash/cluster lights to avoid vision fatigue. I miss cars like that.
Short answer: no.

Every year I try out new things (fly, render), but stick with heroku because I'd rather focus on building products and not devops.

I'm a solo dev making $700k a year on my projects. I'm happy to pay the extra cost for things to just work.

If there is a catastrophic issue though, I do have backups elsewhere that I will use.
I'd say your number is about right. Not just for bikes, but cars too. 5% of drivers follow me way too close, speed between lanes for no apparent benefit or emergency, pass far to close, don't signal, don't give time for people to adjust. 5% seems very low, but when there are hundreds or thousands of cars you see in a day, it's a lot of bad drivers.

And, I usually have a lot of steel and airbags around me to protect me.

It's the #1 reason I don't ride bikes on the road in the US. If I lived elsewhere I might change that.
I was happy with Heroku for a while but had to leave it because of request timeouts being limited to 60 seconds (my app is a scraping api and sometimes requests take more time).

I switched to Appliku and never looked back. Setting up CI/CD pipeline for EC2 can be complicated and with AppLiku I get the Heroku experience without the limitations.
That's possibly true. I wear a helmet when I go for a bike ride (for pleasure/fitness) but don't wear one when I run an errand by bike. The former, speeds avg 18mph, top out above 30mph, and use different roads. The latter, speeds are closer to 10mph and use mostly bike lanes and wide sidewalks.
Consumer demand -- or lack thereof -- drives the market. There have been massive product flops in the past... no level of supply or price cuts could get consumers to buy items they didn't want. I'm not saying that's the case with electric cars, only that consumers have to want them before it can succeed.
My thinking is that it's not the AMD CPUs that are the problem, but rather the Intel chipsets and chipset drivers generally seem to have fewer issues. It could also be that Microsoft and others do more testing on Intel-based systems.

For what it's worth, I also indirectly support quite a lot of corporate systems, and we've had a fair amount of flakiness with AMD Thinkpads. Not every laptop has issues, and not in every situation, but we get issues significantly more often for the AMD machines - this is visible clearly in the stats we keep. Anything involving docks seems to be particularly problematic. It could be that Lenovo are just making terrible devices and I'm unfairly blaming AMD - but the Intel ones are rock solid.

Also I've used TPM for years, possibly since Windows 7 I think, in order to get full disk encryption with Bitlocker. More recently I've been playing with remote attestation.
This aligns well with some of my thoughts on free will. That though I cannot control what I desire as long as I am not constrained by outside forces I am acting of my own will.

This of course is compatibilism[0] which I nearly instantaneously gravitated towards conceptually during my philosophy minor some moons ago, though I don't entirely agree with it. I would add that free will is the ability to act in accordance with one's desires AND choose how to act within a limited possibility space presented by previous determined circumstance towards those desires.

I disagree with your prioritizing comment though, a simple test here is do I put off video games to work on my own projects, the answer is yes, even though I in the immediacy maybe more intensely desire to play video games. Humans can delay gratification for larger payouts later on, which if we could not consciously do then I personally would probably do nothing with my life besides the basic biologic urges and whatever gives me the strongest immediate dopamine hit.

(Not OP) That repo looks like a proof-of-concept which is linked to from an open issue in https://github.com/swc-project/swc which is apparently a "super-fast TypeScript / JavaScript compiler".
Kansas, a super-conservative state, just voted overwhelmingly in favor of abortion rights.

The reason the votes don't materialize is that we don't have direct democracy and voting is a complicated and imperfect proxy for measuring support of any single issue. Candidates are a mixture of party, identity, and policies.
There is no need for a "complex password" just use a passphrase and don't reuse it.

Any vehicle that was available with "telematics" already collects and transmits a huge amount of information, regardless of whether you have a telematics subscription, including location, speed, interior and exterior temperature, whether the wipers are in use, engine parameters, accessory settings, you name it.

Whether you're paying for any services or not your vehicle is generating a substantial amount of data, so the notion that remote start needs to 'earn its keep' is nonsense.
We don't hand out medals to normal people, but incarcinate the ones "who want to teach you a lesson". What you just described is what normal people do on the road. There is a lot of research on this and cyclists are not any different than other road users.

Additional thought here: If you take part in traffic you are taking part in some weirdly formalized form of communications. It is all about "speaking" in a way so others can understand what you like to do. And in traffic you speak by what you do, how you do it and by giving signs.

If you e.g. see pedestrians, brake and continue to roll slowly towards them in your car, you might think: "This is perfectly fine, I saw them!".
But the question is: Did they see that you saw them? If not, then your slowly rolling car communicates; "Yo, I am gonna kill you!" to these pedestrians. This means in that situation the act of stopping is the clearest communication that you saw them.

Using blinkers, hand signs in the way they are intended (to communicate intent) makes also sense. On the highway check your damn mirrors before blinking unless your intent is to ram that car that could be there.
It is a safety feature for the people in other cars being subjected to high beams.

As an aside, one option I like to use to get people behind me to turn down their high beams is to orient the side view mirror so the high beam goes back to them.
Banks would only stop offering loans if required by law to stop, how is that different from a state or federal ban?
For starters, Ethereum is not inflationary. ETH is minted and burned according to network activity. The more people making transactions (and paying for them) the less ETH will be created. It can even get to the point where some blocks lead to a net burn of ETH.

Why would you stake? Even if the returns were low (compared to what?), people like me are interested in staking merely to help secure the chain at a (relatively low) cost compared to PoW chains, and having an efficient and secure blockchain opens up other opportunities for profit.

In my case, I am less interested in speculating with tokens and I am more interested in seeing a blockchain that can be an actual alternative for cross-border payments. I feel like by becoming a staker (and by working in projects that leverage layer-2 scaling networks [0]) I am contributing to that becoming a reality with a (relatively) low opportunity cost.

First indicator that teams is ill designed is feature creep. But i suppose people find some utility in it. Telephony is likely handled by a server and teams is acting as a video / voice client just like any other modern chat app. I dont know about its integration with office and other microsoft bloatware but i do imagine those integrations are poorly designed as well. Microsoft products are well known for taking up memory for no good reason so i dont see why this would be an exception. Blaming issues on electron is just lazy on their part.
