I seem to recall reading about them in the earlyish nineties. Specifically a fine article about a Swedish gravity-based design, which used electric power to keep things running and many, many failures should result in things being pulled down by gravity and failing safely.
No, I think the free market is an ideal system, a model. A bit like a harmonic oscillator in physics. The reality is more complicated.

This is the science of citiogenisis.

Fact-check is already a sullied overloaded term. It would be better replaced and served by something like “citation-check”.

There are a panoply of cited sources (“facts”) that needs to be properly vetted (“aligned”) to contribute toward its premise (“fact”).

This is why Wikipedia can often lay claim to being more scientific (through sheer column of citations containing of “facts”) assembled by its editors (citation scientists). This is also why many educators teach their students not to cite “Wikipedia” which is (a poor attempt?) to indoctrinate the students into learning how to root out the misleading source (often mistaken as “fact”.)

Mmmm, but it’s SCIENCE! Doesn’t necessarily means it’s a fact.

Meta (“Facebook”) would be venturesome to claim the science of citiogenesis as there are money, prestige, and power to be gained through shaping “science” of these citations. That is, by using artificial intelligence (AI).

Arguably, today’s Fact-checkers would try to use a science process that rarely achieves its “factual” (but really called a premise) claim … in a clean and unarbitrary manner while free of bias: always with unnecessary fillers with a goal to sway the readers with cemented anchors to keep it away from their basic but unwanted “fact”. We call those “fact-checkers” an opinionated citation checkers; they save the readers from doing the work by its artificial power of singular analysis through the curation of its premise (“fact”).

Fact-checkers are basically wannabe- citiogenesis scientists that are just merely interpreting their point of views. And readers (students) who failed their educators’ lesson would claim it as “fact”.

AI may or may not help and into both directions toward and away from their desired premise.

How many different algorithms would be used to dislodge this badly-abused citing of these singular analysis efforts by seemingly “fact-checkers”?

Who would be in control of this Machine Learning of AI? Meta (Facebook)!

Who oversees these AI algorithms? Meta!

And who would be the one that watches the watchers? Meta?

And will today’s educators teach these future generation of discerning readers on the much needed distinguishing between citation checkersd vs. today’s “fact-checkers”? (*cricket*)
Many of those videos with "eyewitness" corroboration have to be taken in context.

For example, the video clips typically show a small blurry splotch a few pixels in size. What's not always obvious is what level of magnification is used. In many cases its a digital zoom on top of a telephoto lens. The unaided human eye would see just a tiny speck, which could be anything, and may not even be the same "object"!

The other context is pilots rarely fly in empty skies, especially military aviators. Many "sightings" have been in the context of drills, war games, or similar. The pilots may not be aware of things such as small drones used by officers for monitoring, or secret testing of UAVs. E.g.: A question that designers would like to answer is: "Can this stealth drone be spotted in realistic scenarios by pilots not told about its presence?"

Etc...

Which is about as bad. This can directly translate to "the only person that put effort into writing it, no matter how competent they are in the subject".
Perhaps when make a similar comment in future you could expand a bit and sketch out a possible alternative to that of people being free to to trade things of value with other people under the aegis of a dynamic regulatory system? I guess you mean a specific meaning of 'capitalism' but the nature of that is not clear at all.
If you want to believe you'll find a reason, no matter what history says.
That is more about sponsorship disclosures. A better parallel would be with disclosure of paid or sponsored material on broadcasts.

But yes, I’d be all for that. If a bill is drafted, all the entities that had input into that draft should be listed. If a politician gives a speech at the request of a compensating entity, that should be disclosed at the beginning: “This speech was paid for in part by Audible. More on them at the end of the speech”
Except, as I said, The initial wealth of a family was usually obtained via some imperialist or colonialist process. See elon musks’ family diamond mines, or the entire united states and it’s resources being take by force from the millions of people who were living here prior to colonization.

I’m not saying it’s wrong to pass wealth to your kids in general - but I am saying it’s wrong to pass wealth obtained by violence and exploitation to your kids.

And it’s wrong to received wealth from your parents and then attribute your successes to your hard work or invention instead of attributing it to your situation + your hard work or invention.

Or rather: situation * hard work * invention * luck.

These are all clearly multipliers on each-other. You can frame the terms of the equation differently, but it always has a large portion that is outside the person’s control.
Would you be able to comment more? The northern Nordics in general look very interesting, particularly for having cool temperatures in future decades, but I worry it might not be easy to integrate as a non-nordic myself. Apparently Oulu, Finland has a good tech scene (not to suggest Sweden and Finland are the same, of course!! http://satwcomic.com/ makes sure people know better :-) )

> now you've got two allocations (or at least two separate memory regions, or at least a pointer wasted assuming it's constant) per dynamically-allocated thing.

Having a size_t on the stack is hardly an issue, it's what every low-level modern language does. It's fast, convenient, and pretty efficient. It also doesn't require deref'ing to get the length, which is a pretty common use case (e.g. checking if a string is empty, or too big, or something along those lines).
If they decide not to pursue action due to infringement then I'd argue they're not really separate entities at all so why have them in the first place. In which case, they're performing some sort of fraud. These things are usually illegal in the context of tax-evasion ("oh he's my nephew and I give him a company car, and full-salary for 'consulting' once a month.")

> $12 p/m

Notably this is a 50% higher price than Disney+

Each subscription takes a toll. The price is set at $0, to make it more expensive is always going to be infinitely more expensive, but $12 is a lot for simple uses, and paying it in perpetuity is undesirable too.

Whatsapp was $1/y when it monetised, and I believe they were profitable, for context.
Not that the price will go down. Now they subsidize shareholders, which is quite worse in my book.
Yes saw a sister comment with a link that says that even though the main link doesn’t.
So let me get this straight.

Facebook has absolute control to limit the spread of a story or news on their platform.

Facebook has absolute control to outright block specific content based on an algorithm they control.

It's not about 2FA though. The problem is that PayPal allows users to log in via a one-time code sent via SMS, without the need to enter their password or TOTP (I assume this extends to hardware keys as well). They're doing 1FA over SMS and there's no way to opt out.

I don't feel all that different on Mac. When I get a new one the dock is covered in crap I don't care about. I use zero of the apple apps except maybe Music to play mp3 so I have to spend a bunch of time removing them from the dock and argubly I should uninstall them

Then in notifications there's more crap like news, sports, stocks I have zero interest in as have to uninstall.

Then it nags me about Apple TV (the subscription service) as well as Game Center.

I use my Mac 10x more than my PC but it's very similar in how much stuff I have to remove.

Just in the last 2 weeks I set up a new M1 Mac and upgraded to Windows 11 on my gamer PC. Sure Windows is worse but both are full of bloat.
It's great to see psychedelics being considered more and more for tackling mental health conditions, but I'd still like to see the discussion extended to include:

a) Other ways of achieving peak experiences and senses of connectedness, wonder and awe, be that mindfulness/meditation, being out in nature, flow states, breathwork etc. which are more often accessible to everyone, for free and without needing to involve big pharma and may have less side effects, supported where necessary with the same complimentary (talking) therapies that run alongside the psychedelics.

b) Challenging some of the potential underlying causes, I'm not suggesting this will apply in all cases, but stress/burn-out, financial pressures, lack of meaning, lack of connectedness, pressure from social media, inequality etc.
So let me start by saying that I think your reply is the kind of thing we need more of around here: I think you've created scope for a productive conversation about the specifics of what we want to encourage or discourage as a society.

There are plenty of examples of these mega-FAANGS doing stuff that just sucks, and to the extent that a community like HN can be calm, concrete, and solution-oriented about that we have a lot of clout in aggregate. These companies absolutely cannot function without elite heavyweight hackers, and they absolutely cannot afford to pay "fuck the planet" wages to a group of people heavily skewed towards "made some serious money already".

I think my point is that partisan political bias should be relatively low on HN's collective list of things that urgently need changing in hyper-tech: it's one of those examples of the arbitrarily selfish incentives aligning with roughly the "right" thing.

FB/Mark had to cut Thiel loose because he was dragging them into extreme partisan politics. I strongly suspect that the dominant term there was the practical necessity, but I'm on board with the outcome.

That ecosystem is gone and gone with it are elements of that ecosystem that would’ve prevented our climate situation. The land and the grasslands those bison inhabited has been destroyed. The massive forests of that day are gone.

You cannot cherrypick one element of the past and use it’s isolated existence as an argument against steps taken in our current situation
Reality is hard and difficult to navigate.

You can read a lot, form your own opinion and then stick to it, in a bayesian way (adjusting your view based on new information).

This may help you not feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of reality.

Some countries only have 6% Russian gas imports. Other countries are diversifying and it will be forever.

Russian oil will be cut off immediately/more easily. The disaster for Russia is that natural resource profits will plummit and the tech industry will be no more.

Perhaps this is what Putin wants, similar as in Chechnya/Syria (eg. For cheap military forces).

Clock is ticking for Russia, 4 years to build LNG terminals. That's not a lot of time.

In theory, this is actually a functional service that can be useful.

I hardly ever eat out because the cost and hassle compared to the food is far, far from being a reasonable trade to me. On a daily basis, I don't want "fancy" plates of food creations, just simple but fresh and relatively healthy food like I would (or, rather, do) make for myself.

However, having a kitchen churning out fresh food, a bit like a canteen but with a delivery step (doesn't have to be direct, a "round" would work too as long as the food stays approximately fresh and arrives within a reasonable slot).

There's no need for this to happen in a restaurant with tables and tills. The most efficient system is probably a big central kitchen and a bunch of electric delivery vehicles. The economies of scale that such an operation could bring over me buying a few portions at a time, slicing single cucumbers and heating my little oven or pans to cook a few items day in day out seem like they could plausibly be favourable to outweigh the downsides (cost of delivery, lack of control over the food ingredients, quality, portion size etc).

Of course such a system, if it became dominant over others would probably very quickly fall victim to MBA syndrome as corners are cut and it ends up being school/prison slop (with a much much more expensive premium option that is basically what we already have).

And I imagine people don't like the idea of a "remote canteen" vs the romantic idea of a chef lovingly assembling a dish and carefully handing it to a courier.

So my options are to do it myself or pay multiples.
And all language models of any use also have way more data than a human could read in a lifetime.

Look, you learned a basic understanding of particles and had some _meaning_ associated with them, before going out and practicing and finally learning the language.

No one is saying you’ll learn a language by just reading grammar rules. What text books on grammar says is that it’s a good support to give you an understanding that helps you process and create sentence so you can get to listening and speaking and learn to use the language.
No the algorithm prefers to push unverified clickbait.
You're missing the point. That's not incompatible with what I say. The critical mass just wasn't reached.
You are free to your opinion but it's not fact.

You say "it's impossible because X", but what is usually the issue is that cars just take over all the space and make public transport, walking and cycling impossible. I could live in the country side without a car thanks to the pandemic, I do understand that most people make choices in their life that make that harder, but those are choices made by people and infrastructure planners. They are not fixed truths.

There is so much to disect here and I do not think we can reach a common conclusion because everything is a special case. For reference I lived 9 km to the primary school, bus and store, 60 km to the nearest hospital and train station, 4 km to the nearest daily bus. I understand that it might feel strange to build bicycle infrastructure in such an environment. Luckily for us it was perfectly possible to live there and have my children ride their bicycles to school, but this was only possible because a lot of people alreadt walked on these roads, and it was quickly known in the community that my children rode there in the mornings, even if they were the only ones doing it.

Yes you need to change the infrastructure even in the country side to enable walking and cyclists, it does NOT have to be 10km of cycle track, but it might have to be that.

Doesn't even have to be about safety, but respect. Transatlantic flights that turn back is a huge inconvenience, and adds probably a day of lost time for passengers in total. Perhaps the Ghanians(?) suspect they get a problematic aircraft because of racism or that they are not considered as important as a typical business shuttle to Zurich or London? It may seem weird to westerners, but smaller countries don't always have more "sophisticated" political tools like diplomatic backdoor channels.
Ok, so wanting to stop Google from messing with my system is communism?
If there's more supply you could expand. The ideal situation from the owner point of view is you extract the entire net worth of the tennant and then move them on (coffin or just kick them out), while at the same time spending the least amount possible.

You don't want them dying too quickly as that's leaving money on the table, but you don't want to have to evict them once they run out of money

Bonus points if you can extract money from relatives too
Nul termination is not only in C but also in some file formats. It has some advantages - apart from modest space savings for short strings, it means that you can read a string from some given location to the end - without any out of band data (length) that necessarily has to be stored in a different, agreed on location. This is a very valuable property.

I'm not saying don't use length fields, I'm saying use nul terminators where possible and use length fields where needed. And, they are not mutually exclusive.

And C doesn't need a standardized length delineated string structure in my opinion. Nul terminators serve the job fine for most Standard APIs (which take only short strings), and can receive length fields as separate function parameters where required.

At public schools in the US, teachers have strong incentives to have their students perform well, as schools are graded on overall student performance, impacting awards, etc. Exam proctors would have to be independent from the school system if they were responsible for handing out calculators.
I think he published this video when I was starting to think about the same things, especially about working out, where it's more important to workout consistently with a decent form/weight than to spend hours reading up science and working out very little.

Most "benchmarks" or data that we have mean very little because of the context (or lack of) they are done.

I often read critics to benchmarks in here and how they are not "real life scenarios", seems like CS is not the only world where this happens

Jonathan does indeed complain about bugs, but as is typical for this type of programmer he's sure these are somehow being introduced by "Bad" programmers who are incompetent or lazy, not by "Good" programmers like Jonathan.

You get stuff like: "The Jai philosophy is, if you don’t want idiots writing bad code for your project, then don’t hire any idiots." which probably feels good to say to yourself, but of course it's not going to result in fewer bugs.

Jonathan doesn't like Exceptions, which, fine, I agree control flow and error reporting shouldn't be bundled together, but if you're serious about preventing bugs and you don't want exceptions, you need to actually write a lot of error handling, which means error handling needs to be ergonomic in your language. In Jai there might be error flags, you might be expected to check them but if you don't it won't complain because you undoubtedly know best. Pressing on regardless becomes ergonomic like in C.

And so Jai certainly isn't going to do anything about how buggy software is.
The means is just “blaming their incompetence on climate change”. It’s a small price to pay, and one we are already paying anyway, except they use another excuse at the moment.
