People complain that micro-transactions aren't cost effective; but there are, right now, secure and decentralized, fee-less crypto techs; even quantum resistant ones, that allow for the transfer of millionths of a cent.

With no disrespect, I feel that people who say crypto has no use-case are being let down by their imagination and research skills.

There is actually at least one cryptocurrency working on becoming recognized as a legitimate currency; Nano.

People could immediately see that Google gave better search results; that WhatsApp was instant and free; and I don't think AMD is as clearcut an example as you state.

Notice that in my comment I stated the condition that people can't understand the tech by themselves - such is the case with crypto. People can't understand the proofs; the difference between POW, POS, and Block Lattice; whether a coin is decentralized or not, etc, just by using it.

Arguing against myself a bit, I did think people would notice how slow and expensive their BTC transactions were; or how awkward setting an account up is, or how often claimed roadmap milestones were put back - but they haven't. I don't think I accounted for the sheer volume and reach of bag holders and maxis.

BTC uses the same amount of power as Argentina - it's perverse. The people claiming it's better in any way, on any metric outside adoption are just wrong. The fact that BTC holders and miners can claim otherwise, and people apparently believe them, is kinda my whole point.

It feels like there's a strong parallel with QC, or nuclear energy, or even cannabis. People get deluded by hype from vested interests if they have no way to accurately judge for themselves.
> public officials who had to make risky decisions

I'm not giving them any compassion. State and local levels of health departments acted like dictators with lockdowns which harmed people and many school-age children. My neighbor sold their house and moved because the employer was enforcing the shot so they got fired. I literally got multiple postcards in the mail from health department telling me a shot was waiting for me.

There were not enough studies of efficacy and safety to do what they did based on hunches while not hammering a message of "get off carbs and sugar, lose weight, improve your health".

Polio cases are leading regular people to question much of the over-powered medical people. Maybe it is good people become skeptical.
Right now (till 2025 if Congress doesn't extend it) the premium is limited to 8.5% of income if you buy your insurance through the public ACA exchanges. You do have to reconcile the actual amount through the premium tax credit at tax season. The premium limit is for a silver plan so there will be out of pocket expenses if you actually need care.
As someone with a degree in contemporary arts who switched to programming I humbly disagree with this statement.

Via healthcare.gov and COBRA from living in a state that dragged its feet maliciously and a prior employer in a really poor state with an awful risk pool for a family of two adults that cost me $1500 / month for mediocre coverage in 2015. It was so high it blew through my runway far faster than I had budgeted and along with other unforeseen factors led to me stopping with my independent contracting work basically ever. It was high enough I paid out of pocket for everything and had a catastrophic plan only for still $500 / month.

Excusing externalities is how we get corporate structures where officers and shareholders are richly rewarded and tax payers get to pay for (and often live in) the SuperFund site after the company leaves.

We're on track on a big part of Europe being energy-restricted this winter, so at least right now there's not an abundance of energy even for the current needs of the first world, much less for those who cannot pay much and would need not the same amount but growth.

In the long term many things are possible, but right now we don't have enough energy, and "if we deployed new renewables" is not an argument - we already are deploying new renewables pretty much as fast as we can, and even if we would deploy them twice as fast, it will still take quite some time to get to where renewables can create all the energy we need - especially if look at the market share of renewables in total energy which includes not only electricity but also heating and transportation.

I think we should also consider the possibility that some of it might be ideologically motivated.

For example someone who thinks people shouldn’t eat red meat due to climate change, animal rights, etc. (and who possibly belongs to a social circle where such beliefs are popular) might be motivated to fabricate results that could convince some people to eat less red meat (hypothetically, not saying that is the case here).

"First they came for the Nazis" is how World War II could be described (1), and with the exception of a few misguided sympathizers the story ends well with the destruction of their power structure and hanging of their leadership.

Probably worth noting that among the reasons KF just lost their newest DDoS protector is that many Russians are understandably sensitive to Nazi sympathizing, even "for the lulz".

(1) One could even argue that hesitating to come for the Nazis sooner was a significant mistake in the international community that allowed the severity of the War and the atrocities that occurred in it.
Yes. You can simultaneously correctly say that other trackers (and ways to track someone) existed before AirTags and that most tools can be used for both good and bad

and...

Also say that AirTags almost certainly made tracking more mainstream and on more people's radar.
> But Americans attempt to use their own, private system when communicating to the rest of the world, in commerce, software and media.

What’s the difference between that and when the rest of the world tries to communicate with Americans using metric? In my experience foreigners in the US complain significantly more about the US not using metric while in the US than Americans do while in countries using metric.

> Search "Weather Taipei" on Google while in Taiwan, with a browser set to not-US-English, and you end up with Fahrenheit etc.

Can you not set your choice of units as a preference? Or are you annoyed that Google chose a default that is different than the one you wish to see? Given there is no universal choice that pleases everyone, wouldn’t their choice annoy some people no matter what? In any case, this is a complain to direct to Google and not Americans in general. Besides you’re free to use another weather app that matches your defaults.

> It's annoying to go to a museum in, say, Brazil and see the Portuguese text uses metric, but this has been translated to pounds and feet in the English text. Most of the tourists reading the English aren't even American!

This is a complaint that should be directed at a certain Brazilian museum.
Or you plan to buy the "metric" one that is 1250mm × 2500mm, but your contractor messes up and buys the "American" size after the studs have been built 625mm apart.

What on earth is "the typical minimum temperature that can be tolerated by humans" though? There are people who seem fine living in parts of the world where it's regularly -30C (somewhat less than 0F), and many of us that would find anything much less than 0C (32F!) regularly to be pretty much intolerable.
Resolution is an issue for measuring fever, so we use a single decimal point (36.8 is normal, 37.1 is elevated etc.). Other than that it just never comes up.
Agreed that 100C being the boiling point of water isn't that useful for setting oven temperature etc., but at least you know something that's 100C is going to be as hot to touch as putting your hand under scolding water (and likewise 0C is going to
be as cold as ice. You're willing to sacrifice that?).
Kelvin is far easier to mentally convert to Celsius than Fahrenheit, and at any rate Celsius is still used extensively by biologists, behavioral scientists etc.
> In order to hit the 2050 target, we therefore need to be using about 1500 TWh per year — 1% of current global energy consumption.

It's infuriating that rather than increasing the cost of energy by 1%, we decided to destroy the entire planet.

It's even more infuriating now that I've read H.G. Well's "The World Set Free.", which was written in 1913, and covers the same topics as this article, but with a more savvy take on current day energy politics.

The problems it focuses on haven't been addressed, and we're living the worst case scenario the book posits. (The better case scenario the book focuses on is a global collapse of government due to full scale nuclear war in the early days of atomic weaponry.)

>> people don't contribute to society equally

That's a catastrophically flawed line of thinking. How can you quantify a person's contributions to society? You certainly can't do it by their ability to generate wealth as you seem to imply.

There isn't any standard matrix multiplication instruction set so there's nothing to standardize over. Machine-learning driven instruction sets (of which MM instructions are motivated by, but not exclusively for) like this have been generally bespoke because the field moves relatively quickly compared to hardware. Every vendor generally follows some basic principles but the specifics are dependent on the workloads and models they expect e.g. quantization or how they expect to split models across accelerators. And ARM does not allow public proprietary instruction set extensions to ARM cores, one of their defining architecture features is that licensees literally are not allowed to do this.[1] The only reason Apple was allowed to do so in this case is likely 1) They negotiated it as part of their AAL (probably for a lot of money) and 2) They do not publicly document or commit to this feature in any way. It could get deleted or disabled in silicon tomorrow and Apple would be able to handle that easily, and in every other visible way they have a normal ARM64 complaint CPU core (there is the custom GIC and performance counters and some other stuff, but none of those violate the architectural license and are just IP stuff they chose to work on themselves.)

So actually the thing you're complaining about is prevented by ARM themselves; Apple cannot publicly commit to features that would fragment the architecture. They don't have to do everything identical either, though.

[1] They have publicly said they will allow some future Cortex cores to contain custom instructions, but it is quite clearly something they're very much still in control over, you won't get a blank check, especially considering almost all ARM licensees use pre-canned CPU cores and IP. You'll probably have to pay them for the extra design work. There are no known desktop/server-class CPUs that fit this profile on the current ARM roadmap, or any taped out processor, that I am aware of.
Ask HN: The grey area of copyrights involving AI generated art
As we all know, there has been an explosion of AI generated art, thanks to models like stable diffusion(which is awesome BTW). But the ownership of this art is still a grey area. Lot's of debate on Twitter and other forums. Mostly the two sides of the coin seem to be:

1. AI generated art is fine. What if it is trained on other people's art work. Even people get inspired from other art works.

2. AI generated art is wrong because permission was not taken from the creators.

Both seem valid arguments. But an argument seeming valid is not enough. Is there any legal precedence? What is legal?

Also there are too many grey areas. What if an artist has created some digital art and put it up for sale. Can I use that art as the prompt(img2img) and generate similar art and also put up that new art for sale?

> I’ve never had airplanes check for vaccines

Perhaps you haven’t crossed borders to places where it mattered enough for a protocol. Plenty places have required shots for entry visas and others for re-entry visas, and visas are checked by airlines before embarking then border control on disembarking. Other places ask to see more paperwork than just the visa, commonly asking for a vaccine journal or record.

For instance:

What vaccines are required for U.S. immigration?

At this time, vaccines for these diseases are currently required for U.S. immigration:

- Mumps
- Measles
- Rubella
- Polio
- Tetanus and diphtheria

- Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Rotavirus
- Meningococcal disease

That's an interesting product. What is the advantage over Power Query for a non technical user?

There is a slightly different idea on the same theme that I'll give a stab at one day: let users express their logic in excel using standard excel formulas, then tell a tool what are the inputs and output ranges, the tool will extract the logic between them (follow the formula), and generate the equivalent code. This would allow a user to express and maintain, in excel, a logic that can be run by IT with no dependency to excel.

The author seems to advocate for renewables and while we have plenty of energy available capturing it still needs work done. Some of the energy we could use now needs to go mining an manufacturing then we need physically build the infrastructure. The author is saying we should do all those things, that they need done, that the total amount of energy humanity uses should grow not shrink
There are multiple types of electronic traction control, active brakes and active power; in a high torque situation, active power manipulation is required. Electronic throttle has allowed better ramping of ice motors since the early 2000s. In high power sports cars it was bettered to be called launch control.

There's little downside to active power control unless you want the effect of not having it.

Side note to locking and viscous differentials (and for automatic transmissions, the "slushbox" torque converter), which have been providing passive traction control in cars for 70 years.

> What meat eating has that other diets don't have is not just the phenotype of our digestive systems (being like that of other meat eaters), or archaeological evidence of our ancestors using sharp tools and arrows, but stable isotope testing of fossil evidence linking our recent ancestors to a substantial amount of meat eating for around 4 million years.

How would that invalidate research showing, for example, a link between certain cancers and the consumption of red meat? That some behaviour produces a competitive advantage at one time does not mean it comes without risk, nor that newer behaviours aren't better in some or even all ways, nor that it would remain advantageous for all time.
