I recently started reading Peter Watts novels because of a HN thread that mentioned Blindsight. It's been a few weeks at this point and I've finished Blindsight, Echopraxia and Starfish and I'm halfway through Maelstrom.

You want to reference a Watts novel to make a point about adblocking software, wew buddy it's Maelstrom!

Without spoiling much of anything, the title refers to the contemporary name for the internet, given because the open net has become an insane jurassic-like free-for-all of digital virus on virus carnage. Basically people added genetic algorithms to their ad-blocker-blockers to make them be able to react in real time to updates in their opposition, and the result was the accidental creation of very dumb, very invasive-species-y digital life that is constantly infecting all the things. To point that people start training smart gels (think deep learning on synthetic neurons in a big cube of jello) to identify and destroy viruses. But that has its own drawbacks, of course!
I have a friend who fixes old radios and other electronics. I help him from time to time because of his declining health. He's been at it since the 1950s. I walk a balance between keeping my instincts in check, especially when he just starts down a path, and occasionally asking about the things that are obvious to me.

He's very believable, he knows what "normal" behavior is for a vast array of things that I'm seeing for the very first time. So, I trust his gut instinct, for the most part.

However... eventually we'll sometimes get to the point where stuff is just plain weird, and no longer makes sense. We were at that point last Saturday, when there was a resistance measurement that was way less than the 1 megaohm that it should have been, and I started cutting out parts from the circuit... and eventually we both saw something new... a potentiometer had failed in a very unusual way, nearly grounding the wiper (about 4k to ground).

The relevant point is that in some areas, I'm ahead and more "believable" and he is in others... there seem to be some good pearls of wisdom in this article that are applicable no matter where in that balance you find yourself.
Solar power in Germany has a ~1-2% capacity factor. Winter heating demand also means energy demand (and power prices) peak in the winter. So any renewable energy source at 50-100x high cost per kw/h (with nearly a 100% winter capacity factors) will be competitive with solar in the winter.

Power prices show huge temporal, seasonal, and geographic variance. So LCOE (Levelized Cost Of Energy - i.e. average cost) arguments miss that the ability to sell power when power prices are high is critical. Key thing that SBSP as an idea has going for it is high capacity factors at the time of high prices.

To your point, if the idea is to succeed, someone would have to make a SBSP plant that is way less complex than current proposals.
Buy a friend's mansion using very inflated valuation. When the judge orders you to sell in order to paid Crypto.com back, sell for true value. Enter bankruptcy (since you cannot afford the difference) and discharge your debt. Friend later gives you half.

> Why is crypto.com able to retrieve their funds in this case, but crypto hacks around the world result in customers being told there's no recourse?

A business mistakenly sending an obviously excessive refund to a customer over a normal wire transfer is not a new phenomenon. There is precedence, courts are familiar with it, and the parties are few and identified. Exchanges getting custodied digital assets stolen is not really comparable from a legal perspective.

(Answering your actual question of "why..", not addressing if this makes sense or is right)

> Doesn't appear crypto.com paid back the $34M that was stolen from customers in the hack a few months back.

They did AFAIK.

> The crypto crowd sure like regulations at the most unexpected times.

What are you referring to here exactly? Who likes what regulation?
As I'm sitting here reading about what's happening with the Yangtze, the Danube, and the Rhine, the flooding in Pakistan, the greater-than-expected warming in the arctic, and the sudden uptick in methane emissions, I wonder: At what point do we deploy solar geoengineering?
> A factoid, the color of a tea does not relate to its caffeine content.

While it is not exclusively true, there is a pattern. You do have a general rule of thumb that black > green > white. These, of course, assume you follow the "proper" steeping times and water temperatures. Your caffeine content will vary with both these factors. The longer and hotter, the more caffeine.

If you want a low caffeine test I would take green or white tea and blanch it with hot water. Then make the tea. Or alternatively throw the first steep away and drink the second one.
Exactly. There are already censored versions of most movies made by the production studios themselves. They will even have the actors record alternate lines for certain parts. These air on network tv as well as on airplanes. There are lots of families that would like censored movies. I don't understand why they don't want to offer it.
Do you have an example or reference describing how clamping and monotonicity in the context of cubic splines are implemented? Thanks.
The difference is that nobody really cares that a computer can win in chess/go/etc. It's almost a given, and the novelty of "when" came and passed. People follow those scenes because they enjoy the history/lore/sport itself/etc.

Artwork/illustration, on the other hand, is ultimately an end-product to consume. There's potentially a larger impact here.

>Why is this linked to the nature of UTF-8 and Unix?

Those are just another two sacred cows.

>And since you're explaining your thoughts, are those nature the same or is each one a different facet of the programmer culture?

UNIX and UTF-8 are alike because they were made by the same fools, and both made to avoid upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the disgusting C language. The nature of Hacker News is similar in its ignorance and wastefulness, but it's not a consequence of either.

>And lastly: do you honestly think most production or data engineers should be imprisoned or stripped of their titles?

Sure, probably; it's not as if their titles mean anything anyway.

I don't think I ever interacted with him on Twitter, but I do from time to time press the "like" button on tweets in favor of criminal justice reform, in favor of the tax measure that voters passed in San Francisco to support homeless services (and that Stripe and its investors, YC included, loathe), and some similarly "progressive" issues in the Bay Area. FWIW, I also press "like" on some number of tweets that are considered "moderate" (to use the wacko language of San Francisco politics) but that's neither here nor there.

I don't particularly care that I triggered his Twitter blocking scripts. But I do take it as a sign that he wants to send a signal to founders looking to raise from his firm that they'd do well to support his political views or stay quiet on social media.

My brother retired in his mid-40s. He has the same problem. He was a chef and had spent 2 decades working himself to the bone, genuinely being too busy to get things done. In retirement, he became "the busiest unemployed person I know" and hearing that a few times helped to snap him out of it.
Maybe this format would help

Q: How exactly was it censored, and how is it comparable to censorship in China?

A: https://nypost.com/2021/07/15/white-house-flagging-posts-for... That is censorship, because social media then bans (censors) those users and the discussion. Which was my exact point. What do they do in China: “hey this snippet here looks like misinformation” then the company removes that snippet. They extend it to insults about the Chinese race, but don’t we do the same with gender pronouns? How is it different materially?
A human couldn't do that either. It literally took all of humanity 100 years to do that.
That's s false dichotomy. Why not support different types of users at the same time?

Zulip is more of a hybrid between a forum and a chat service, and I think it does that really well.
Hey, great news! You can start your own site without censorship. The marketplace will determine whether your site succeeds or fails. Alex Jones makes a great living peddling his claptrap despite his claims otherwise- go forth and make your own fortune!
This assumes that thrusters in development to extend orbits don't work out. I suspect we'll be able to keep things in orbit much longer as time goes by.
Honestly, I've never seen a codebase that has blown me away (including my own). The GLFW project is very well documented for users of the API, and the code looks pretty clean. GLFW has impressed me because it makes something very complex just work and the documentation is really top notch. When I've peaked inside the F# and Elixir codebases (the codebases of the language itself), things look pretty good.
3x slower is not regular VM overhead range.

Depends on how much resources you have to fight for the money accidentally sent to you. It's more complex than this case but here's a good story here on how Citigroup accidently wired $900M to a group of hedge funds and eventually lost in court trying to get it back: https://archive.ph/PJH1m

Their first reaction was mostly “well this is weird, I guess Revlon decided to pay off the loan rather than fight about it.” Their second reaction, after Citi sent them frantic notices saying it was a mistake, was to send each other Bloomberg chat messages making fun of Citi. Their third reaction, after some more serious reflection, was to say “we are keeping the money, see you in court.” All of these reactions were pretty reasonable and worked out well for them.

The Side-Project Chronicles [Cartoon]
RE: "God forbid it might have to work with other countries for some of it's energy."

I'm all for countries cooperating, but we need to be aware of Europe's recent historical experience on finding reliable sources of energy and raw materials. Specifically:
1) Russia using Europe's money to fund it's invasion of Ukraine and blackmail the continent.
2) Colonial experiences in North Africa. Which, to Europe's credit, it's not interested in repeating. As only solar in north aferica can really solve the winter solar insolation issue - Europe is simply too far north.

To go to 100% carbon free you need "clean firm" power. And there's no real way to get that with out one of: Nuclear, Geothermal, SBSP, or Fusion. Plenty of arguments for Nuclear, but we need to admit there's a very short list of potential solutions here.

The scheme is highly amusing, the problem being that you still have to launder the money. Sure, the keys to the new wallet are available, but how to explain later how the money was earned in the first place (and why no taxes paid then)?

I don’t know about websites, but one of Apple’s examples is almost exactly that – “older than 21” – for purchasing alcohol (in the US, yes, yes) without giving over all of the rest of the information on your ID.
Yep this technology is super impressive, there’s a chance some tweak can turn it into something scary.

Tumblers are trusted and are commonly not providing sufficient protection to hide links from a state-level actor. Practically nobody who knows what they're doing would be using a typical tumbler service, for multiple reasons. The field has moved significantly since they would be used for something like this.

I have always been intrigued by the Australian housing market, would like to learn more about why people from the AU don't really invest in securities and dump into housing alone.
Ah, if you follow the link I provided, you'll see I'm talking about a different book called Blindsight by Matt Johnson and Prince Ghuman, the sub-title of which is, "The (Mostly) Hidden Ways Marketing Reshapes Our Brains."

While it is mostly crouched in terms of how marketing can exploit it, the discussion regarding the neurological ways your brain works is more interesting to me than the marketing aspects.
I can't even imagine my entire way of life being destroyed and upon researching why...I find out it's primarily because of cow farts.
Y’all are always talking about overpopulation - seems like if a huge population is causing huge emissions, we can blame that. Maybe we should praise the US for having a responsibly sized population.
Bad cases make bad law - if you argue too hard in the direction of "any copyrighted material in the AI's training set makes it copyrighted" this could lead to, say, "Disney owns any animated movie made by someone who watched a Disney movie".

You can make an AI that doesn't memorize a specific training input; similarly you could probably make one that intentionally memorizes them. Both of these seem useful.

Things are getting real, real fast. I have no hope that we collectively turn things around and feel we are instead basically heading for an Elysium like situation. That's because we're acting too late and too slow to help everyone (not like we help everyone now anyway). It's pretty scary to be honest.

People just do not care about climate change and won't until their water or gas shuts off. Even now, my neighbors are tearing down trees, and residents, businesses, and the government have huge lawns that are wastelands.

The facial recognition thing seems unlikely to me, nobody likes it except tech companies that want a magic AI to solve their compliance problems. If you care about privacy then biometrics is a no-go, if not then actual ID verification is more accurate. The point is that facial recognition is not the actual requirement, anyone trying to tell you it’s the requirement is probably trying to sell you a facial recognition system (and the author of the article fell for it).

New Zealand swings back and forth between Labour (generally do nothing) and National (generally Christian rightish wing).

We're currently under a Labour majority (though James Shaw - the environment minister is Green).

There's a bit of a swing back toward National, hobbled in a very large part by their own incompetence, but this will go nowhere if they get back into power.

As an example of their attitudes, last time they were in it was found that basically every body of water in the country had pollution levels in excess of defined quality standards.

Their solution was to change the standards (I'm not sure if the subsequent backlash changed their minds) so that the water was no longer polluted (by definition).

Am I suggesting that we do nothing? No, but unless there's buy in from across the political spectrum (there won't be) I struggle to see how this can acheive anything.
