I thought we agreed on my definition. If you want to make your own definitions of macrostate sure. No rule against that, I just don't see your point.

>If you think that you can define macrostates for my system in some arbitrary way (your own words: "I'll choose something arbitrary.") and others can't - or that yours are somehow more real - I really wonder why.

I really wonder why you even say this. Anyone can make up a macrostate we just choose to agree on one for discussions sake. But in the real world things like pressure and temperature are some universal agreed upon ones. I simply made one up so we can center our discussion around it and you took it into other territories.

You can switch up definitions all you want. But no matter your definition of macrostate, this remains true:

Entropy is independent of knowledge. Your initial argument was against that. I haven't seen you make any argument in your own favor. Just side discussions on who's definition of macro state to use.
It is just as true as any other "race" determined by phenotypy.

Bad idea for mushrooms. Some of them are insidious - you could feel fine for several hours while your liver is destroyed, and by the time you feel sick it's too late to do anything.
⊃ is 'first', ⍸ is where, f⍤g is like function composition, and ⍤1 means apply to each rank 1 (vector), so ⊃⍤⍸⍤1 means 'the first true for each vector'

We are progressing poorly, but what you’re saying here is that fewer than a billion people believe that climate change is a problem?

> For instance, we would have already billions of vegan people.

Veganism is a factor in climate change, but the methane we could offset from going vegan globally is nowhere near as effective or meaningful as ending the burning of fossil fuels.

No. Someone else asked if there wasn't some middle ground between absolute reverence for the new vaccines and "anti-vax". And, indeed there is. But you're not occupying it when you're calling them, in effect, "so-called vaccines".
No, but rather because it is not helpful or very rational at all, to divide humans into races (especially just based on the trait skincolor).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)

"Even though there is a broad scientific agreement that essentialist and typological conceptions of race are untenable, scientists around the world continue to conceptualize race in widely differing ways. While some researchers continue to use the concept of race to make distinctions among fuzzy sets of traits or observable differences in behavior, others in the scientific community suggest that the idea of race is inherently naive or simplistic"

Meta has gone from a social media company to some kind of videogame company which really requires a completely different set of skills. I think mostly it is the "bad" skills that are translatable from one to the other: engagement, microtransactions, etc.

Not only that, but to develop these "worlds" you actually need people to be incentivized... kids in Roblox are earning thousands of dollars for their creations and it seems as though what Meta's Horizon offers is nowhere near that kind of payout. What they probably need is to hire people to make killer apps inside their Horizon meta worlds but VR is such a reduced market right now that it's a difficult proposition.

Meta is struggling with acquiring a userbase which tells you a lot, this proposition is not really something most people in the Meta platforms are really interested in. But we'll see what happens when Apple enters the scene and VR everyone starts getting a VR headset, maybe then people will go "hm, maybe i should try horizon".

The general problem with up-votes, down-votes and no-votes is that the discourse mechanism behind them is so complex that the quality of the comment is only vaguely related to the number of votes. Sometimes I get lots of up-votes for a casual remark on a general topic, but none at all for a detailed reply on a specific question. When someone makes a false factual claim and is corrected by someone else, the last comment is often up-voted, but rarely is the original claim down-voted because people think the matter is settled.

Appart from obvious nonsense, the typical cases for down-votes are not descriptive (what is true or false), but normative comments (what should or should not be the case). Normative comments, such as what user `blueprint` has written, have the tendency that people up-vote or down-vote according to their own, often quite ad-hoc opinion, using the system like a poll. I think that this is not good. Instead, one should either just ignore it or try to initiate a debate. For the vast majority of opinions that contradict one's own, there are plenty of representatives out there who are at least as clever as oneself. Being curious about why they have such a view does not have to mean that one relativises everything. There is almost always something to learn.

I also think that we should strive to apply the principle of charity[1] in our responses, mending small flaws or bad rhetoric in a person's statements and instead challenge the essence of her or his thoughts. Although user `blueprint` does not elaborate on his topic, the topic itself is quite interesting. He just worded it a bit clumsily. Its essence may be reformulated as: "Given that an extremly devastating, but also extremly unlikely cosmic event could wipe out humanity in an instant, should we not prioritize to spread out across the galaxy, so that a single event could not affect all of us?" Has this statement the same chance to be down-voted? If this is not the case, doesn't it mean that a down-voter should have applied the principle of charity instead?

[1] Wikipedia's definition: "In philosophy and rhetoric, the principle of charity or charitable interpretation requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity

It's just that my car has given me 15 years of service and will, I expect, give me ten more. Many large household appliances can last even longer than that. Meanwhile, my phone is only two years old, looks and works perfectly fine, but no longer receives security updates.

I just posted an "Ask HN" on Thursday about how to handle this, because it feels ridiculous to replace the phone at this point, but the alternative options seem to suck too. It just seems like there's so much room to improve the situation.

You're right about the economics, though. I remember filling out a form on the Best Buy website to see what they'd pay me to recycle a three year-old laptop, and it quoted me $5... So clearly whatever can be recycled from these machines isn't all that valuable.
That seems like one of the problems that can be solved with technology, i.e. by using

I think this take does yourself a disservice: htmx is an extension of HTML and, in general, of the hypermedia model, and it is this model that should be contrasted with JSON data APIs.

I think that you should learn JavaScript, and I certainly think you should learn HTML(!!!) and CSS. But I also think you should consider how much more can be achieved in a pure hypermedia model with the (relatively small) extensions to HTML that htmx gives you.

I have a collection of essays on this topic here:

If you just attemp to eat the yellow dent without further processing you're going to have a bad day, with that said nixtamalization isn't that hard to do.

A bigger issue is that dent corn is a hybrid, it has to be farmed from seed corn and produces no offspring of its own. You better hope central Iowa and Illinois is still around in that case.

The massive amount of fertilizer and assorted chemicals that allow dent to be so productive are likely to be on fire and the natural gas needed is likely going to have is own transport issues.
That would make sense if this was a hobby project but it’s not.

It's fun, it's an outdoors activity, and as far as I know you can't really get the mushrooms you find locally in the grocery store. Using an app to identify mushrooms, however, is a terrifying thought. Maybe it speaks more to people's conceptions of the capabilities of modern technology.

If you want to get into foraging, there are some really easy to identify safe ones without dangerous lookalikes. Get a good identification book on the topic. Don't listen to random strangers on the Internet, and don't trust apps.
a mushroom identification app that doesn't draw attention to toxic lookalikes sounds pretty close to criminally negligent
This, like all fusion startups (except maybe one), is a scam.

That is to say, none of the investors will get any of their money back. If they are OK with that, fine. But probably most are not. You can think of it as a stupidity tax: enough money to invest was also enough to hire somebody to explain how they are throwing their money away. But they didn't.

One reason (of several) that it is a scam is that, to get the power out usefully, you need a thousand tons of "blanket" to absorb kinetic neutrons and turn them into heat. You need a high proportion of lithium in your blanket, so that the neutrons hitting it can breed the tritium you will need for fuel tomorrow.

But running a full-scale power plant all day will only breed a few grams of tritium, that you must somehow sift out of your thousand tons of "blanket", at parts-per-billion concentration. Nobody knows any way to do this. But without doing it, you have no fuel to use tomorrow.

Even if you could get enough tritium, those hot kinetic neutrons are blasting all of the physical structure of your reactor, weakening it, and also making it extremely radioactive. After a remarkably short time, you have to replace all the solid parts. But they are all fantastically radioactive, so you need robots to do it with. Those robots do not exist. The used-up parts are, anyway, not like regular nuke waste; they will mostly decay in a century or two, probably.

Until then, presuming you could scare up tritium fuel, you would have a thousand tons of super-hot "blanket" you need to run water through pipes in, to boil and drive a steam turbine. But steam turbines, too, need expensive periodic overhauls.

Meanwhile, solar panels and wind turbines are producing the cheapest power the world has ever known, today. No radioactivity, no tritium, no persnickety steam turbines. Just clean power.

So, nobody would buy your super-expensive fusion plant even if it worked, because it would cost so much to operate you would need to ask a lot more money for its output than anybody will pay.

But the people running the startup have no need to care about any of that. They have fun making big expensive experiments with your money, cater in expensive lunches, and drive Ferraris, because why not? When the money runs out, they go do something else.

There is no force on Earth powerful enough to make them give any of the money back.

Another big scam, BTW, is NRGV, "Energy Vault", traded on public markets at $2B cap last I checked. Apparently it is not considered fraud to collect investment money for things that cannot work.

> Bezos and Musk would work just as hard if they only had 10% of the financial equity share in their companies that they have today.

This is absolutely not a given. Not because the value changes, but because it implies they no longer own a controlling interest in the company and have to answer to a board. Musk explicitly does not want to take SpaceX public because shareholders are terrible bosses for long term visions (colonizing mars).

> pantheistic Wujood notion

I think that is a willful misrepresentation. "God is the light of the heavens and the earth". Possibly I can make pantheism out of that Quranic statement asserting truth.

Ibn Arabi's reading of Qur'an was exceptionally subtle. Do you know what he got out of that very familiar story of Abraham and his son to sacrifice? "You have believed the dream/vision" (37:105) His take on this sign completely floored me. He was reading at an entirely different level. A superior level, imho. Comparing what is generally understood from this story of Abraham (in 'orthodox' Judaism, Christianity and Islam) to what Ibn Arabi says it means, really highlights the difference between the legalistic and mystic approach to religion. But yes, Prophet did indeed choose 'milk' over 'water' and 'wine'. There is that. And Jesus chose water but showed how at the end during 'celebration of wedding' it turns into 'wine'. So some of us go straight for the 'wine'. It is unorthodox, but "blasphemy" is a matter for a specific Authority to determine. I personally think this is the root problem in the Umma ..

> [T]here is a passive agent in the dissolution of traditional cultures by means of “globalization”.

I agree with this and used to worry about it too, but there is (at least in my analysis) an element of 'conspiracy to social engineer the planet' involved. Further, can mankind even be made homogeneous, and, is a homogeneous mankind the inevitable end result of globalization?

Consider: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." (49:13)

So the verse concludes, as you probably know!, with "Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, Fully-Informed".

It's funny. I was watching the other day a very amusing clip (on yt) of an interview of Stephen King on when he first met Stanley Kubrick (in course of making The Shining). And it starts off with King retelling how he got a call in the morning and it was Kubrick, and Kubrick starts off with "I think horror stories are ultimately rather optimistic". King asks, why? Kubrick says ~, because it implies an existence beyond our mortal life, and that's optimistic! King replies, but what about hell? (lol) And Kubrick says, I don't believe in hell. :)

Point being I feel optimistic that given that Allah is All-Knowing and Fully-Informed, then obviously it will end in sunshine, this "peoples and tribes" that God apparently wants to intermingle and get to "know one another".

p.s. "know one another" seems to put some pressure on "traditional culture", don't you think? Change does occur after acquisition of knowledge, don't you agree?
That's different. That has the same problem as the first image in the article: the background colour protrudes beyond the border. It also looks much worse than the box drawing characters.
I think anywhere you introduce more complexity, more ways for things to interact, it's inherently less secure without the additional work checking for both the App + the API being secure on their own.

Did you notice the | hide } link on stories? HN somehow associates your account with a list of submission IDs that hit hides. In the same way, some patterns associated with the account could be checked.

Every few years I try again to pick up J, however I quickly get frustrated as the "ASCII noise" means you have to memorize an awful lot to be able to read real J. In contrast, I can generally read code in any C-like or Pascal-like language as there's enough familiar convention that I can patch in the rest.

For the lesser-gifted like myself, I wonder if one couldn't attain the power of J without the cryptic syntax. Haskell, for example, has a general very easily understood syntax for function applications: if "add a b" invokes a binary add function than "add a" is a unary function that adds a and the syntax allows for infix expressions, like "a `add` b", "(a `add`)", and (`add` b). (The latter more useful for non-alphanumerically named functions, like (++ [42]). I wonder if J/Apl couldn't use a similar strategy to trade a bit of terseness for something much more readable.
No, machine learning to identify the fungi is the problem:
