America is freaky rich - how many people in this forum grow food of any kind (outside of a hobby) for example?

I'm not too surprised on the % of share of the footprint, people making (or spending) at least $40k drive a lot of worldwide consumption (and shipping).

I'd wager a lot of the carbon emissions of the $100k and above group come from flights. Travel among that income level has become extremely popular in the past 50 years. For example, I used to live in California, and it was surprising when I did the napkin math to find the emissions generated to visit family near the Appalachians (just for my seat on the plane).

I calculated that a given person's portion of a round trip cross-American flight generated as much kg C02 as a typical American generates by consuming a year's worth of meat. My two round-trip flights a year were undo-ing the climate savings of two typical American vegetarians.

Given ~400 passengers on a 747, each plane that darts across the whole of America undos 200 Americans who gave up meat for a year.

The FAA claims to process 16mil flights a year of various lengths.

An easy solution to this would be to add a simple interface into either The Gutenberg Project's library, or Archive.org's library (or both, even). Both have rather huge collections of public domain epub (and other ebook formats) readily available, legal and free.
>Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess
Ah, memories. Got this book as a kid soon after I started playing at 11-12. It's just a nice puzzle collection, progresses really nicely in complexity. No notation needed, so very kid friendly. The mating pattern with sacrificing a queen on f7 and forcing the king into the corner with the bishop to deliver backrank mate was my first realisation of the beauty and art of chess, and made a real impression on me. It's quite contrived though, so I've yet to get it over the board. But ever since I read it I look for it whenever it seems even remotely possible. Highly recommended for parents of young kids who have just started learning.

Here's some other chess recommendations:

Silman's 2 books on positional play and endgames: these are fantastic books. The chapters are broken up by rating, ranging from beginner level to master strength(2000 ELO).

Other than those two, puzzle collections are always helpful. And for intermediates, game collections from string players. My favourite is Tal - Botvinnik 1962, written by Tal himself. Tal in my opinion is the greatest genius chess has ever seen(held back by his terrible health), and he was a fantastic author as well. Other great collections include Kasparov's My Great Predecessors and Fischer's My 60 memorable games.

Skip opening books entirely. Pick an opening and find grandmasters who play it. Study their games, understand the ideas of the opening. Memorising theory isn't really helpful below expert level(1800 ELO).

Thanks to OP for the trip down memory lane!
It's troubling that you're unable to see the difference between restricting hate speech and protecting marginalized people so they can participate equitably in society.

We act against kids and teachers, yeah, but we don't act against the place where they gather (i.e. the school, the playground, whatever). Similarly, we should act against the people who spread hate on Instagram, not the platform -- not advocate for kids to have fewer ways to socialize.

Instead of picking and choosing what types of energy use should be allowed, the government should determine what the environmental cost of all energy use is and apply that as a tax. A so-called "carbon tax." One would think that this is Economics 101, but the idea evades many intelligent people.
No it's not that much, it's water in the atmosphere, hypergolic fuels were before. Steam. It's fine. Although yes when metal vaporizes up in reentry that is pollution.
Umbrel isn't open source, for one, and is heavily crypto focused, as it started as a Bitcoin miner and expanded out into being a selfhosting platform.

Otherwise, pretty similar, it's Docker plus fancy glue. :)

Awhile back I tried running Windows under UTM on an M1 Mac. x86 versions were unusable, but even the ARM versions of Windows seemed to barely work. It appears that Windows 10 Arm allows x86 binaries but Windows 11 Arm allows x64 binaries [1]? And didn't Microsoft pull the ISO for Windows 10 on Arm? Can anyone recommend a configuration for Windows on M1 that actually worked?

Yes there are people like that even as leaders of nations I think. Sometimes they are called sociopaths, sometimes psychopaths. There's even serial killers. Naturally they don't advertise their character.

I think you make a good point that maybe "Evil" does not exist but "Evil People" do. We need to recognize them and condemns them, and avoid getting killed by them.

It's patently absurd that iOS and Android don't have robust filtering options built into their standard messaging apps.
It’s the very effective and ubiquitous psychological trick of seeing yourself as being in a relatively compromised situation in order to justify acquiring ever more comparative advantage. I find it far less appalling to actually recognize how good you have it, continue to seek further wealth, but seek wealth in industries that are net benefits to society.
Yes, many of us on this forum are extraordinarily wealthy by global standards, myself included. I think that gives us some responsibility to reduce our impact on the planet where we’re able.

I don’t think we can justify asking those who are already struggling to do more individually, but in this highest income bracket I think we certainly can.
Actual leftists (e.g. Emma Goldman) don't say something as dumb as "free speech doesn't mean unlimited speech", but very few Americans are exposed to actual leftist thought on a regular basis. We mostly get pale imitations like "the squad".
True, though "screen time" is definitely a euphemism for unfulfilling entertainment.

I suppose the distinction is still useful since everyone's favorite dispute to "screen time should be minimized" is to invoke the hypothetical case of a person who spends too much time doing something constructive with their phone/computer.

I remember using that argument with my parents who would force me off the family computer for spending too much time in MUDs/MMOs. My dumb parents don't realize they're kicking me off a learning device! —I'd say as I spent 99% of my time fighting kobolds ingame.

That's just not true. There were three options, stop selling diesels, implement a selective catalytic reduction system, cheat the test. All three were done.

How can you possibly seriously describe Vox as extreme? Perhaps they’re more liberally biased but “extreme”? There’s no world where that would be an accurate description
> most people are very smart

Only half are above median intelligence.

There's a difference between being smart and being well-educated. Wisdom is the combination of intelligence with knowledge.

> coastal lefties are always befuddled

Being well-educated in STEM is not indicative of being well-educated in history and/or economics, which most Americans seem very poorly educated in.

I don’t want infrastructure providers to play law enforcement. If they would have had received a court order and acted afterwards, I’d be okay with their decision. But kicking customers for marketing? Meh.
(I had this issue, not sure if its fixed now or I was doing something wrong)

I'm not sure if its related, but I had some DNS resolution when I switched on WARP. I know that 1.1.1.1 is DNS over SSL, some ISP don't like that? I don't remember which applications had issues(guessing it might be steam client, I could be wrong)

Also, never noticed a significant gain in network speed or reliability either. I don't use it anymore, but will give it a try again.
American action movies aren't striving for realism these days - their output is 98% superhero movies.

Action movies have always been unashamed about having an element of lowbrow populism. You can enjoy seeing bad guys get their asses kicked in The Matrix even if you've never heard of plato's cave - and there's nothing wrong with that.
> I've been looking into this for the last 2 days. Unless you're running an M1 Mac or newer, you're SOL.

And not just any old M1 Mac. Last week I got it running on my 2021 8GB M1 MacBook Air and it's slow. Images at 512x512 with 10 steps take between 7 and 10 minutes to generate.

It's the only thing I do that hits performance limitations on the 8GB machine so there's no regrets on that score, but with the way this stuff is progressing 16GB+ is a realistic minimum for comfortable use.

The whole point is to show that something non-local is happening (or an equivalent), so of course I'm talking about local hidden variables. I don't understand your objection.

I'm being a little loose about casualty but that's because I don't want to write extra paragraphs about what "simultaneous" means.

Wow, I never expected Nielson & Nielson to be mentioned here. It's one of my favorite books, I have referred to it in some of my past comments, and certainly the best static analysis textbook out there.

I actually took several courses from the authors some years back, and implemented most of the book for a not-so-simple imperative language, including e.g. abstract interpretation for detecting out-of-bounds array accesses.

The book is a bit advanced unless you are well seasoned in the basics of abstract algebra and interpreter / compiler construction. Most fellow students struggled a lot. Hence, the authors have written a prequel [1], which is a bit simpler and also uses Datalog to get going faster.

Of course it's because eyewitness reports of even ordinary events are highly variable. They saw something; that can be true even as it's also true it wasn't what they reported. Nobody is lying.

In fact that 'false dilemma' is not a real argument at all. "You're either with us or against us!" "She criticised Capitalism; she must be a Communist!" "Marriage or career, a woman can't choose both!"

> Why would they want to do that?

To show the customer they're putting their money where their mouth is, i.e. that they are genuinely more interested in the long-term relationship than the pure commercial profitability of the client.

Going for unlimited liability also focuses the mind of the bank's management. You can't make short-sighted decisions just because you want to boost your bonus. You have to genuinely make sound decisions with the bank and the bank's customer's in mind.

Its very rare these days. Rarer than pure partnership legal structure which is already very rare. Almost all organisations these days opt to take the easier route and hide behind the corporate veil.
Why? That has absolutely zilch to do with this. Banks that are good at IT are also run by rich people, right?

I’ve been a Warp+ user for some time now and I’m mostly happy.

My online privacy is important to me. I use ad blockers too in addition to cloudflare.

A couple of things I’ve noticed along the way…

1. Switching off my wi-fi network and then rejoining later used to be an issue but seems to have resolved some time ago (mobile)
2. It seems on macOS that almost every time I login I need to update the client.
3. Usually sites can’t resolve my IP and place me hundred of miles away which is fine by me. However occasionally I run across a site that has a pretty close to home read on my location. It seems sites that leverage cloudflare cdn might see a more accurate location because they are on the same network - I’m not sure how this works technically though.

I’ve never encountered a censorship situation or any website that was inaccessible. I have run into issues where steaming sites want you to turn off VPN but this isn’t consistent. I also run into issues occasionally when jumping on a hotel wi-fi or like a Lowes or Home Depot where they want you to agree to terms and likely want to snoop your traffic.
Interesting approach.

Web applications can come close to directly accessing the database by using GraphQL with something like Hasura or PostGraphile. PostGraphile even uses Postgres's row-level security. A colleague and I once did a project using Hasura with a SPA-style JavaScript front-end and a separate back-end service driven by Hasura webhooks for doing the actual computation, and we ended up being unhappy with that approach. Some of our problems were related to the SPA architecture, but some were related to our use of GraphQL and Hasura.

We ended up starting over with a typical server-rendered web application, where the server itself accesses the database and communicates with the computation-heavy back-end service over gRPC, using a minimum of client-side JavaScript. I remain happy with that architecture, though I continue to explore different ways of integrating modest amounts of client-side JavaScript for interactivity and real-time updates. And to bring it back to the topic of my previous comment, if we assume that there has to be a server rendering HTML anyway, then I think it often makes sense to reduce complexity by bringing the database into that server process. I haven't yet tried that in production, though.

I think my preference is to use HTTP primarily as it was originally intended, for fetching HTML, as well as for form submissions. For finer-grained interactivity, I think it's better to use WebSockets as opposed to REST-ish requests and responses. I'm not dogmatic on that, though.

On web apps versus packaged desktop apps, I'm still inclined to go with web whenever feasible, and only develop a packaged desktop app if a web app just won't work. Being able to use an application without an installation step is really powerful for pre-sales demos or trials, for onboarding new users, and for applications that may only be used occasionally by any given user. Even for an application that you use all the time, a web app can be fine, as the popularity of Google Docs demonstrates. For example, if you just want to get the browser chrome out of the way, desktop browsers support "installing" a web app as an OS-level app with no browser chrome. IMO, Hydraulic's Eton demo app could just as well be a web app.

I look forward to your blog post, though even your preliminary HN comment offers a lot to think about.

So internalize the externality. The status quo is that the non-rich subsidize the carbon footprint of the rich. I have no problem with <celebrity> flying privately. I have a problem with subsidizing that flight.
But since GPS is a broadcast service, there is no way to offer encrypted service widely (ie. To a random app which pays for better GPS accuracy) without someone decapping/exploiting a chip in the phone and leaking the rolling encryption key via a web service for everyone.

I'm not sure this response is from a mind equipped to apprehend the adequate or necessary level of abstraction to address the issue, but it bears addressing because it is representative of the quality of argument made in favour of bitcoin bans and regulations.

The crux of bitcoin is sound money tied to compute costs - which directly are energy costs. It rewards people who find and apply sources of energy they can convert into compute wherever they may be. I've found some people say they don't understand things when doing so would create a conflict with their ability to sustain dissonance. My comment wasn't for them, it was for people with the need and ability to understand the macro dynamics of the policies that impact us all, and that there is a view that is upsteam of all this anti-crypto hysteria.
As a counter, I think what isn’t pointed out here is that minimalistic design is important to increase engagement. Intricate, pretty, interesting things are also exhausting after a while. Minimal designs do a good job at allowing users to compartmentalize and ignore without too much difficulty.

When I hear people saying that to advance the overall virtue of tolerance, one must not tolerate intolerance, they aren’t misusing some formal philosophical paradox. They’re just using their own sense. Most probably aren’t even aware of what you’re referencing.

It seems to me that those people just prioritize a different virtue than what that “correct” formulation would have you prioritize.
Free speech is the lynch pin of all our other rights. Without it, the other rights all disappear.

For example, if one is not allowed to publish information about other rights being violated, it is impossible to organize an effort to protect those other rights.

Be very, very careful about abrogating the right to free speech.
> It’s difficult to watch a screen without hearing some version of “most people are stupid”. This is deeply wrong: most people are very smart, but this is difficult for the well-educated, because most people are inarticulate.

This is all just balderdash. Depending on how people define “stupid” or “very smart” it’s correct or incorrect. It doesn’t really convey anything meaningful.

The thing about our society that most seem to not appreciate even though it’s axiomatically true and fairly obvious for most educated to see is that half the population are dumber than the average person. (Yes, technically the median, but you can’t say median person because the median person and those dumber don’t know what median means).
There's a difference between "simplicity" and "simplicity at the user's expense." Outside of HN, major trends in design include: Making all your phone's icons look the same, making it harder to quickly find what you're looking for. Low-contrast gray text on white backgrounds, which are nightmarish if your eyesight isn't good. We can keep going here.

More to the point, HN achieves simplity without going to an extreme where the user experience is negatively affected.
It's certainly better than it used to be, since there are more satellites, and a lot of work goes into doing well in these environments (I used to do the GPS integration for Google Maps).

There are two big tricky parts about urban canyons. First, yeah, you still have quite a few satellites, but they're all in the same directions. Satellites directly above you don't really tell you anything. Satellites in front of and behind you can only tell you how far you are along that axis. You don't have any satellites to the sides, because you're in a canyon. So in an idealized version of a really bad urban canyon, the GPS can tell how far you are on the street, but not which street you're on, which is what the user actually wants to know. (I did a lot of work on knowing this from context, but it's still quite a mystery on a cold start.)

The second is that, unlike natural canyons, signals in urban canyons tend to bounce. So instead of seeing the satellite missing, you see it giving a signal that's consistent with if you were in the next street over. Which is the same problem we had in the first place. There's a lot of outlier detection done in the chips, but in a really noisy environment, sometimes that'll inevitably end up throwing out the good data and choosing the outlier.
