Actually yes, I think it is, though not exactly in the Max Tegmark sense (he's much more competent than I). Indeed, I don't think it could be anything other than math as it would be inconsistent (Daithi, where are you, you took me out for dinner and we had a great chat (intoduced me to Haskell he did )).

To be clearer, I don't think physical reality is math as we currently understand it, but if there's an aspect of reality that is non-mathematical and you can prove it you've won every significant prize available and started a conceptual revolution without comparison (no, human notions such as "love", beautiful as they are, don't count as we can't begin to mathematise these anthropomorphisations).

We need to study more math :)
What garbage. "Obvious even to you" should be that poor people commit more crimes against other people and against property, the very thing that police are looking for. That's why more of them are locked up.

Just for due diligence, I looked at your "references":

1) the first two are from the same person, and are unattributed. So I kind of doubt they're even true.

But let's pretend they are: "irrelevant formality" -- going to your probation appointment is pretty important. It's not "nothing." Probation is what they gave you instead of prison. I thought you were in favor of keeping people out of prison.

"Dirty urine" probably means they were using drugs. They were let out of prison on the promise that they'd stay off drugs. You think people should use drugs after pledging not to?

2) your third one: One extremely biased side of a case which I assume has other sides, from an extremely biased source. Try to do better.

Why would kids growing up in a remote community with no work, surrounded by drug and alcohol abuse, in a culture that tolerates child sex abuse, whose brains are cooked from day one by FASD and inhalants _not_ commit more crime.

I saw one non-solar project where the city inspector seemed to be friends with the electrical contractor. They spent 20 minutes shooting the breeze, then the inspector did a super-fast scan of things, signed off, and left.

May be best to watch the inspector do the inspection?
I'm not sure how you can realize that there is a fire risk from improper electrical but then also declare that solar panels do not increase fire risk.

Properly installed? Sure, no or minimal risk.

But insurance companies deal in aggregate, which includes improperly installed panels.
>You're missing the point: the documents should never have left the White House in the first place. Whoever was supposed to check that screwed up. If they're going to throw the book at Trump for keeping them instead of giving them back, they should also be throwing the book at whoever screwed up by letting them out of the White House in the first place. And the Biden administration should have some explaining to do about that. Is anyone asking them? Hollow laugh.

What? This is nonsense. Trump can pack and keep things. You honestly think some Secret Service agent is supposed to draw a weapon on the exiting President to force him to leave things behind? Get real. Trump can take what he wants, and he was very proud of what he took, and he publicly claims it is his belongings.

This blame-shifting and removing the agency of the previous President is outrageous. He's not a child, he knows what he did, and he's proud of it.

>I have no problem with prosecuting people who violate the law. What I have a problem with is extravagantly one-sided reporting, intended to further polarize the country for political gain. The sooner we the people realize that all politicians are crooks and all government is untrustworthy and all media is corrupt, and stop jumping on bandwagons just because someone says something we like without exercising any critical thinking, the better off we'll be.

This is exactly the kind of both-sides-ism that leads to exact kind of worst-of-all-time corruption like Trump. There is simply no comparison to those 4 years to any other President of any party.

The ill informed hide behind the cheap cynicism of "everyones bad". It takes intellectual bravery to learn, assess, and decide that maybe, just maybe, some things are worse than others.

I did mean everything is pointless nakedly. The rest I talked about meaningfulness. There doesn’t have to be a point. Pointless doesn’t mean worthless, but we have a culture that insists everything must have an extrinsic point. There isn’t one IMO. That said, the closest I can identify to a point is to not harm and to know, be known, and enrich others through that.

Think of it as a hypothetical:

"Plenty of countries have solved the drug problem by eliminating their populations; it would be dishonest to say that it cannot be done".

My preference is with a society that supports the freedom of the individual. One side-effect of that kind of society is that the unlucky and irresponsible are ill-protected. All told, I prefer that situation to an authoritarian, totalitarian, or fascist society.

It's a calculus with numerous concessions on all sides. I suspect we're highly programmed to support the perspective that corresponds to our geographic origins, even though mine's the best.
That's the genetic engineering approach, but the Chinese ones have a different, more complex, less well understood, and potentially complementary resistance mechanism.

The keyboard rabbit-hole gets pretty deep. I started off wanting a nicer typing experience, and ended up realising so much about the traditional keyboard designs didn't make sense to me (here's someone nicely summing up the reasons why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrska7UU7BE).

For me the optimum is a split 34-key keyboard (the open-source Ferris Sweep https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep) with a custom keymap firmware (QMK).

In addition, it’s news about a person who has a rich documented history of skipping out on paying people. These reports date back far before his presidential campaign.

> At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast. Real estate brokers who sold his properties. And, ironically, several law firms that once represented him in these suits and others.

> Trump’s companies have also been cited for 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act since 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage, according to U.S. Department of Labor data. That includes 21 citations against the defunct Trump Plaza in Atlantic City and three against the also out-of-business Trump Mortgage LLC in New York. Both cases were resolved by the companies agreeing to pay back wages.

> In addition to the lawsuits, the review found more than 200 mechanic’s liens — filed by contractors and employees against Trump, his companies or his properties claiming they were owed money for their work — since the 1980s. The liens range from a $75,000 claim by a Plainview, N.Y., air conditioning and heating company to a $1 million claim from the president of a New York City real estate banking firm. On just one project, Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, records released by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in 1990 show that at least 253 subcontractors weren’t paid in full or on time, including workers who installed walls, chandeliers and plumbing.

A certain group of people seem to think any criticism of Trump is purely political, despite Trump being a documented shitty person for decades.

Nice.

I have an F1 hybrid American/Chinese hazelnut in its 9th year on my little hobby farm (southern Ontario). It's done ok, no blight ... yet. It's too far from my other chestnuts (Chinese) to get pollinated to produce nuts tho. I keep meaning to get more trees. It's a nice looking tree.
AC power is very different to DC power. A great deal of the efficiency loss and cost associated with small-scale renewable power is in DC-AC conversion, grid connectivity and associated regulatory concerns. Third party professional installations for house-type solar will bundle all of this and be expensive.

More progressive installations and new builds can just go 100% DC and drop the AC and the grid entirely. Whether this is appropriate is case-dependent. It's easier if you cook, shower and heat with gas. This obviously restricts internal design decisions but is totally possible, provides better results, greatly reduces regulatory overheads and safety concerns and is closer to what we see on cruising yachts which often have combinations of wind generation, solar generation and propeller-based generation.

Another concern is energy storage methodology. If you are building a new site you can consider interesting storage technologies such as buried flywheels vs. batteries. Some of these techniques will cost more up front but function far longer with far less maintenance. Fossil-fuel based generators are a good backup option. You really need to profile the loads in terms of peak and continuous draw plus cycle time and frequency before specifying storage.

Note that distribution cabling is expensive. Both copper and aluminium are going up in price and even at wholesale rates here in China heavier gauge copper cable is USD$1.5/meter or so (bare). Cheaper aluminium cables cost about 25% of that but Al is brittle and develops resistance over time owing to surface oxidation, contributing to the probability of delayed failures.

You could start with reading your national electrical code and national building code to understand the installation applicable regulations.
Yes - the Asian ones that evolved with the fungus have a more complex strategy, making a purely breeding-based program challenging. Separately, some clever genetic engineering allows the trees to break down oxalic acid, which prevents the fungus from being able to efficiently attack the plant cells.

Two separate things.

Safari integrates well with iOS and MacOS, which I like. It has good privacy and security, also integrated with the Apple ecosystem. My other computer is a Chromebook, which only runs Chrome, and that works well too.

What authority can enforce approval or disapproval to release something into the wild? Suppose I own land next to a national park. Then can’t I plant whatever I want on that land, trusting that it will spread into the park?
Oh I have had a great career and enjoyed it tremendously and still enjoy it. But I’ve had clear goals that were hard to achieve that I feel proud of achieving, but I had some other attachment in the “quest” that I thought would make me more like the folks I respected. It wasn’t until I became one of them that I realized they were never different than me, they had just worked hard like I had. If anything that’s humbling but it also cleared my mind of a lot of motivations that were based on a falsehood I told myself. I hear the same falsehoods in a lot of the engineers who look up to me now and I want to shake them and say “it’s not true.” But I’ve never gotten any of them to actually hear me.
Schwab’s argument apparently has roots in the conspiracy theories of fundamentalist Christian Texe Marrs, Lyndon LaRouche, and Ed Dieckmann, Jr. These are not exactly reliable sources.

A history of the blurb, every author’s best friend
> but I don't see it being used for any practical applications

The industry only cares about one thing: ability to market and sell as a means to make money. Ideally a compiler translates human-understandable code into the fastest possible machine-understandable code. Every tech company is essentially a compiler company because they need people to extract the most performance from their software and hardware.

There are a gazillion AI companies nowadays, they all need training or inference to go faster, they all need compiler people. Lattner [0] knows this, and that's why he started Modular AI [1].

If you want attribute grammars to be involved, you need to make them solve this problem better. That's your task. That's the value you bring.

How do you do this? Here are links to items posted over just the last few weeks on HN. Karpathy spells out neural networks [2], so understand the computational problem. Nvidia describes the difference between CPUs and GPUs [3], so understand the spectrum of computational fabrics. Now figure out how to best solve this computational problem given the different fabrics and their differing trade-offs.

Easy.

When Linux was in its infancy, and Internationalization i18n didn't exist yet, I worked on a project to provide French names/errors/etc. The product was called LigneX (Line X) which sounds a lot like the name "Linux" with an accent.

I don't speak French, but I thought that was clever nonetheless.
My first computer was a Macboon Pro from 2012. I replaced it (well, the aluminum unibody, ship of theseus-style) with a 2017 Macbook Pro when I started college. Now I've got so much muscle memory with the Apple layout that at work I use a USB apple keyboard with my ubuntu workstation. My coworkers are almost all mechanical keyboard junkies, and they never let me hear the end of it.
I'm a policy wonk and spent 25 years working on local Washington, DC issues. Trust me that regular ol' people who don't work on a particular policy/issue do not know the finer points. And the EIS process, like many other local and federal processes is a specialty.

Do I have evidence? No. But my 25 years in public policy and working with members of the public tells me that most I've encountered can repeat what you tell them but don't truly understand.
I sold my Model F to a collector, who wrote back to tell me he didn't care for it. I have regretted that sale many times, because I loved that keyboard.

The basics are you need an upstream connection (preferably one that allows resale), a way to connect to your customers (this was easy in the days of dialup, could be easy or hard with RF depending on details, and is probably hard if you need to run a hardline), and a router or something and billing software.

You only need paperwork if you're in a paperwork heavy society and/or if you're going to use public right-of-way to pull cables.

This alternative Rust compiler's intermediate representation is C code, which is then run through another compiler to produce the final output: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc

>All software will be open source, and no one will make money with software.

I'm really not convinced. The chart shows Photoshop having an alternative in with GIMP in 1998. And 24 years later, people are still paying lots of money for Photoshop. Pretty much all of these examples are similar. Yes open source has replaced some categories of paid software like VCS, but in a way it just opened up more paid software in the form of hosts and surrounding tooling like Github and paid git guis.

If anything I think we have moved backwards. We are no longer looking at making copies of grep and dd. If you want to make an actual alternative to Photoshop you'll need thousands of workers spread over a lot of skill sets. You need cloud technology specialists, AI/ML experts, R&D, design experts to do real studies and interviews with users, etc. You need teams of people working on out there new and untested ideas pushing the state of the art for image editing. While the alternatives are still trying to catch up to 2015 UI design patterns.
You are missing my point. Once one side decides the other is evil, it stops being about right and wrong (in the sense of objectively correct or incorrect). Re-read this:

> If one side has (say) convinced itself that the the other side is evil and duplicitous then this no longer works because 1) everything the other side says is viewed through the lens of evil and duplicity and 2) this evil and duplicity needs to be combated by any means necessary, up to and including presenting arguments that the first side knows are wrong but which it believes in good faith could allow it to prevail against evil and duplicity.

and pay particular attention to the passage that I highlighted here.
Even within that article it states that those folders were created after the story broke and the drive was in FBI custody.

That would indicate to me that someone in the FBI likely created folders to pull files into associated with those topics accidentally on the drive rather than on another storage location.
> all software will be open source, and no one will make money with software.

The first half of that statement doesn't imply the second half at all.

Perhaps, in the future, companies will see the writing on the wall and plan on re-licensing their software under an open licence once they have made a profit from their initial investment (and built a community to maintain the code base going forwards).

Taking that idea to an extreme, companies could use a crowd-funding campaign to provide the initial capital, and make the code available under an open licence even while it is still being written.

The only hurdle to implementing that model is finding a community of people who would value some piece of software that doesn't exist yet, and who don't mind waiting for it to be created, although the crowd-funding could be done on a per-feature basis.
