I’m somewhat familiar with this subject, having followed it for years. I read both parts of Schwab’s essay, but I think this one passage in particular gives away some of his bias and rationale:

> The noetic Gnosticism and transhumanist vision of Esalen, a religion of no religion, and divinity without the Divine, is the ultimate extrapolation of “self-actualization” as the actualization of desire. A virtual world of enthusiasm, artificially created and synthetically satisfied, shaping the body and mind into a deathless desiring-machine, transforming the image of man from a reflection of God, into the brood of the abyss.

Citation needed, Schwab. I’ve read the most significant and relevant literature on what you call noetic Gnosticism, transhumanism, and Esalen, and nowhere—anywhere—does it reflect this opinion or view. To actually get it this wrong, tells me you are coming at this from a religious, fundamentalist POV, similar to what we find with the John Birch Society and other Christian conservative fringe groups.
Is it only me reading it as that trafficking is one of the human rights which needs to be protected?
> there's no separate version of sequence.js for commercial use

A separate version is "open core", not "dual license" - that's a different business model.

Use case differentiation by means of providing the same thing under different licenses is what dual license (or multi license) means. One license (say, GPL) will be appropriate to some use cases (downstream open source projects) but not for other use cases (downstream proprietary software) and so the latter has to pay for a license other than the GPL.

> I didn't find any explicit mention of copyright transfer

It's possible they know the people who've submitted code outside of github and handled it out of band, or that github has some way I've missed of requiring submissions to assign copyright in a way that wouldn't be visible to us. It's also possible they're being legally reckless and might be subjecting their paying customers to potential (if perhaps unlikely) copyright claims from their submitters. There is nothing about it being the same code under both licenses that would imply they wouldn't need their submitters' blessing in some form to sell their code under the proprietary license, and the more implicit blessing the more likely it'll wind up in court at some point.
Indeed, comrade. Disinformation threatens the fatherland.

I would recommend getting the 16gb MacBook, I have the 8gb Air and it’s great but with some video stuff I think a little more memory would help.
You should probably state if the Windows laptop is a modern AMD SoC or Intel.

The performance gap is much wider when compared to Intel's current offerings AIUI.
What’s up with the air gap requirement?
Power Automate or whatever it's called exist.

I'd say the great weakness of No Code solutions isn't so much they are bad, but that they have no FOSS support. At all.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I’m excited to fork your repo.
Even though other file systems call them something else (e.g. NTFS uses the term FRS) and their actual fields might be in a different order and contain slightly different data; all file systems use some kind of file table that contains fixed-sized file records.

I am writing an object store that also can manage unstructured data just like a file system. It too has a table of object records that are all the same size. One of the secrets for managing large numbers of files (todays HDDs are big enough that you can create volumes with 100s of millions of files) is to keep this record as small as possible. The FRS in NTFS is 4096 bytes per file. Try storing that table in RAM when you have 200M files! My records are only 64 bytes in size. 16GB of RAM will easily cache the whole table and still give you memory to spare.

If you want to jail or inprison someone I think it is entirely reasonable to pay for it too. Else just fine them, or kill them on the spot.
Regulated oligopolies.

Hardly market forces!

If you believe in the utility of markets then breaking up the oligopolies formed by market failure (unless price gouging monopolistic practises are not viewed as "market failure"...) is very important.

Regulating them is ineffective because the oligopolies get so rich they heavily influence, if not actually write, the regulations. By bribing the regulators.
It is the first time I hear this and it can explain things. Do you have references?

One oddity I noticed is that among the people I know, the fittest and most physically active had the worst "mild" covid, which surprised me since it is well known that physical activity is good for immunity (up to a point). They tend to feel like shit for a week or two, and take weeks to months to get back to their pre-covid levels. I attributed it to some kind of bias: when you are lifting weights for instance, you can easily measure your fitness level by noting how much you are able to lift, a measure that couch potatoes don't have and therefore don't notice their weakness. But if you are saying that making efforts just after infection negatively and significantly affects recovery, that could be an explanation.

Also, there are so many articles along the lines of "I used to run marathons, now, with long covid, I can barely walk". It is rarely about "normal" people (in the US, that would be couch potatoes). Again I believe these cases are selected because the before/after contrast makes a better point, but again, "don't exercise after infection" could be an explanation.

> Tell me, how many scientific "claims" that you rely on a day to day basis, have you verified personally?

Many. Science claims when I push the brakes in my car I will slow down due to the friction. Seems to be working pretty well so far. How does religion explain it?

You fell into the trap of thinking that each person needs to verify each claim in order to put general trust in science. That's not how it works. If I can pick a random claim and given enough time and effort can verify it with a high chance then I can reasonably be sure the other claims are most likely correct. Not all of them! There are scientific claims that are incorrect. We know because they have been shown to be incorrect. But that doesn't invalidate the rest of the claims. And yes there will be claims that I personally can't verify so I'll have to use my own judgement to trust them or not. Over time someone will emerge to prove them wrong if they are indeed wrong. Unless of course they impossible to falsify like the existance of god. But then I just can ignore that claim if it can't be proven either way - no matter if it's a claim in science or religion.

With religion I can't verify much at all. Can I verify the existance of god? Nope. Can I verify earth was created X thousand years ago? Nope. Can I prove that my prayer will get some result? Nope. So logically my trust in the other religous claims is very low.

We had science classes in school. Physics and Chemistry for example. I remember doing experiments all the time to check if something was really working the way it was claimed. It checked out every single time. We also had Religion classes. I don't remember a single time that we tried to verify a claim. Not even an attempt! How do you build faith in a system full of claims with no evidence? As we kids grew older and developed a stronger independent way of thinking instead of blindly believing what the teacher told us, more and more of us started questioning those claims and were left utterly unsatisfied and ultimately left the religion class and switched to ethics instead.
Similar story to the other two in this thread- air exchange heat pumps are available that are rated to work below 20* F. In the end, I switched to wood (natural gas isn't available where I am, and propane is expensive). Currently using a high efficiency stove and a gassification mass heater. Our central heating barely turns on in winter at this point, and the thermal efficiency of both systems isn't too far from the propane furnace either. (The mass heater is stupidly efficient, the wood stove only in the 85% range I think).
The guy was in Dresden, Germany when it was destroyed by firebombing in WW2. It may be sad compared to some views but after what he saw, it's remarkably positive.
It's not that difficult to do, but does require a certain level of knowledge. Asking what kind of hardware and software it takes indicates you don't have the prerequisite knowledge and likely need an experienced network administrator to help you get started.

At the end of the day it's like any other business, you start it, get staff that knows how to make it happen and do it. The networking knowledge is pretty straight forward to learn. If your interested in putting fiber or other wires in the ground or on poles you may have some utility regulations that can be difficult to navigate. Especially if you need to cross rivers or use bridges.

Really this kind of a complex question to answer as the specifics matter.
If they're up on a mountain which tends to be the situation around where I live in New England, there's likely no nearby road to walk to.

Good luck to them and all that but given the significant legacy of the Acorn name in computing history, they could maybe have dug deeper for a title.
"I could make a motor driver!" was the first thing that came to mind. I have a need for lots of motor driver chips for an art project. (Think hundreds or thousands of small DC motors.) At a minimum, a basic "h-bridge" circuit to control one motor is 4 transistors (and possibly 4 additional diodes). I'll still have to figure out if TinyTapeout could handle the voltage and current of one small DV motor, though. (5-12V, possibly up to 800mA). Of course, there are simple h-bridge chips already on the market for $0.20/chip, but designing my own would be fun.

Will there be a new pricing tier or lowest being $7?
yesyes, both good responses. i suppose i was focusing on a type of art prevalent in classism. many types of art have existed for all peoples through out history. we call cave paintings 'art' but did those peoples who painted them have that conception? most likely not. although a deep generalization has threaded every human culture's expressions of art, there is always variation. indeed art has been for the people in many cultures and for a very very long time. i suppose i was more focused on the whole 20th century, 21st century, computer part of the article, which in fact i didnt really dive into at all.
Did the author claim this is somehow new to insiders? The original headline said the trial is "ripping the lid off" the industry, which is spot on.

> to publish anything new, you need social media presence, writing on something that appeals to a mass market, which passes sensitivity readers, and gets past gatekeepers who are essentially redditors

You really don't. I've been working with a new author about to publish recently and he's just a regular bloke and his work doesn't seem to hit any of your criteria. Are you sure your impression is grounded in reality?
>A powerful, immaterial, timeless force outside of the universet that caused the universe to exist. This points to God.

Holy leap of faith, batman, such a non-sequitur. The former I'd agree is plausible but then you just go headlong into a big assumption or in your case, ironically and paradoxically, you state it as a certainty in a thread about our uncertain universal beginnings. I could run with the former in that perhaps some kind of force outside it caused it but what caused that force? Also there is nothing pointing to this force being some intelligent anthropomorphic entity aware of our existence (as generally believed) other than a few religious texts that, some argue, spawned from other polytheistic religious texts that had entirely different views of the gods.

>There is a great deal of evidence, philosophically and rationally, for the existence of God.

And evidence against if you really want to learn about philosophy in a more well-rounded way. And "rationally"? Many views can be rational which can be pretty subjective, just not logical or true.
Nobody is asking for it anymore and most corps that implemented it are getting rid of it.
I thought ‘public’ means it can be shared widely without there being a risk to the private key. What threat model would consider it a risk to have a public key exposed?
> Marx was a political scientist, not an economist

This is probably as pointless of a statement to argue against as it is to make in the first place. But, Marxian economics is still considered one of the main schools of economic theory today and comprises several other schools within it

> He thought about how greed effects decision making and power corrupts.

This is not really something he wrote about. Maybe you're confusing him with the anarchist Bakunin who believed anyone with any amount of (unequal) power would inevitably become corrupt. But given that he believed you could have a "dictatorship of the proletariat" to usher in revolution, he clearly didn't share this view.

> He was interested in a political revolution because he believed capitalist systems are unable to solve market failures.

I guess in a vague, broad sense this is sorta correct... But he actually believed capitalism was a necessary step towards socialism. So much so that Russian Marxists like Lenin specifically tried to bring Western-style capitalism to Russia. They thought it necessary for the advancement of society

> Economics is generally less interested in the politics of how to implement solutions and more interested in what the optimal solutions are.

Karl Marx was specifically interested in "Scientific Socialism". In his time he was hailed as "having done for economics what Newton did for physics". He developed a pretty in-depth and rigorous theory that provided really useful tools to study and analyze society. And he and his followers believed that his conclusions were a result of this rigorous and scientific approach to social analysis

Mind you, this is not really unlike modern economic theory. We have tons of tools that had never actually been tested. In fact, I'd say that the past 15-ish years of economics are revolutionary precisely because it's the first we're actually being data-driven about things. Things like the Phillips curve are still taught in Econ 101 classes around the country but it has thoroughly been debunked using actual real-world data

You can argue that Marx's theories had issues but they were just as "scientific" as modern economics has been up until very very recently. (That is, not very)
It's going to be a rough ride; at least the coming winter for sure. But I'm very optimistic about the long term effects. In fact, I see this as setting Europe up for a period of economic growth. Getting rid of fossil fuels decades ahead of schedule is going to involve a lot of public spending and there is going to be a massive return on investment. Big public spending is generally great for economies. Once that starts working, there are going to be a lot of other countries that will want in on the action. Countries investing massively in serving that need are going to do well in the next decades.

Germany, which hasn't done much public spending in decades has just unlocked hundreds of billions for investment in military and energy. Other countries are doing similar things. That started happening within weeks of the invasion and it's just the beginning. This will soon add up to trillions in spending.

And of course there is the notion that Russia might eventually decide that they want to sell some gas again after all. Gas prices are high currently and that compensates for the loss in export volume for them. But those prices are inevitably going to come down eventually as other energy sources become more available and the world adjusts. Russia seems to have no good plan economically other than selling gas to Europe. This winter is going to suck a lot harder for them than for anyone else (well except for Ukraine) and it's debatable if their exports will ever recover to the pre-war level.
Single threaded perf per watt has never been a benchmark anyone cares about. Perf per watt for the whole die is what counts in power-constrained scenarios. One core on even a 4-core Intel chip (the most power hungry beasts around) cannot hit die-level power or thermal limits.
The part that alleges the laptop and all the information on it are Hunter's. A laptop exists, yes, but it doesn't mean it's Hunter's or has his information. It also doesn't come close to implicating Joe Biden in any way.

All it does is show Hunter is a drug user and has a lot of sex. This was known already.

Even the guy who _found_ the laptop says it is likely disinformation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/12/now-warni...
I don't think that's what "Average Joes" are getting into, though.
I should note that this book is still excellent.

We've been using it to teach new Rails developers at our workplace, where we have a "hire the best engineer available" policy even if they have no Rails experience. You can just skip the Heroku bits.

Of course, knowing Hartl, he'll also soon update the book accordingly.

And, it's a shame that Heroku is no longer an option for brand new developers who won't know that painless deploy-to-web. I know there are alternatives but I'm not familiar with them.
A good use of AI would be to visualize narrative supply chains, moving beyond textual etymology to infer and identify weasel words, ambiguities, conflations, misinterpretations, divergences, forks and outright manipulation of historically coherent narratives towards incoherent blind alley dead ends.
Mono- generally means "one". When the lists being discussed all have a minimum of 2 companies we aren't talking about monopolies.

Those companies aren't monopolies either, they all compete with a large number of successful groups. Ticktok has been banned in some markets because they are too successful at competing with the existing social networks- it isn't from the US.
I read in the book "American Chestnut, The Life, Death, and Rebirth of a Perfect Tree" by Susan Freinkel that when the blight was first discovered in the early 1900's scientists thought that cutting down chestnut trees in the east would stop the blight from spreading. Many trees were cut down that might have had some level of resistance to the blight.
> It's not hard at all, that's what crowdfunding is for.

Crowdfunding is, among other things, a marketing effort. The campaigns which succeed are, in some way or another, adept at marketing themselves. If they’re starting with minimal budget, that means someone with marketing acumen is either personally invested or confident in a return. If they’re not budget constrained… they’re just choosing their investors by buying access to them in a way that’s not traditional but incredibly common now.

In either case, framing the endeavor as “not hard at all” strikes me as neglecting either the kind of specialized talent that goes into marketing, or the kinds of marketing strategies that can manipulate the former neglect.

To be clear I’m coming at this from a perspective where I realized I lack the charisma and social confidence to crowdfund a project I was wildly passionate about. I find marketing mostly distasteful, but I respect it as a particular set of instincts and talents. The notion that it’s “not hard at all” is as outlandish to me as it would be if I told anyone else that uncommon talents which come to me instinctively should be as trivial to them.
I still regret getting rid of whatever keyboard I had with my Intel 286 PC, probably a Model M from what I read about the times.

Typing was an experience on that thing, like energy flowing through the keyboard into your body, the physicality of the springs was so strong. But strangely I remember typing extremely fast on it, even though it must have needed so much extra force.

I have a decent store bought mechanical keyboard now and it's nice but still very different.
They didn't do that here, though. Please read the article–the FBI talked to Facebook prior to Rudy's disinformation campaign around the laptop, and Facebook realized it (correctly) had the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign, and chose not to amplify its reach (they didn't ban the story entirely).
One point for consideration: Recently got a 12th gen Intel i5 laptop. I'm experiencing some suboptimal performance (most notably what appears as occasional brief "pauses" waiting for I/O). The built-in Intel wifi card is inoperable (manufacturer says this should be fixed in the next BIOS/fw upgrade). Also the power thing already covered extensively elsewhere.

Haven't looked deeper into it but a guess is that the new core architecture with P-cores and E-cores isn't utilized optimally under Linux. It's still perfectly usable (no actual freezes, crashes or instability so far) and I'm convinced that the situation will keep improving. If potential subtle performance irregularities today is a concern for you I'd recommend getting an AMD-based system (or even 11th-gen Intel if you really want the FW, which would be my pick).

If you want to optimize for reliable and stable with minimum hassle, get a device where the manufacturer actually supports Linux. It can make a big difference for things like network, audio and BT.
> what's not to love?

It's a single use plastic with no chance of reuse.
No, this is not what happened. The only true part of the story is that a laptop exists.

There is evidence that the hard drives were manipulated on it. There's no evidence Hunter put any of the data on the hard drive there. And beyond all that, nothing there shows Joe Biden did anything wrong.

Even the guy who _found_ the laptop doesn't think the information on it is necessarily legitimate: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/12/now-warni...
Or, you know, CRISPR.
You love to use the strawman argument yet you use other logical fallacies like argument from authority in presenting the guy in your video, claiming he has this degree or this certification. I almost never bother to point this out but if you're going to call others out for logical fallacies, be aware of your own.
