I can't understand the emphasis on more bandwidth. The pain with wifi is overwhelmingly dominated by the slowness establishing a connection (why does it take more than a second?!), with connection reliability and latency (for video calls) also being important.

This is very much my objection! Feels very dystopian.
Wish this was happening in london uk, and ideally that space converted into housing. The less people having to commute to on site farms the better for the environment.
Aren't there essentially School-Material-As-A-Service companies that provide all the stuff to you? I cannot imagine that every homeschooling parent starts building their own study plans and comes up with their own teaching concepts etc.

Regarding the social aspect, do you mean your children not getting enough social interaction with other children of the same age, or how home schooling is viewed socially?

I think HNers perceive other technology areas as being open, that is, somebody with a good idea can start a company, possibly get funding, have a chance to succeed.

In the case of defense it seems to be a matter of who you know instead of what you know. In the adjacent aerospace field, for instance, boondoggles like this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Launch_System

are widespread and somehow the people involved can't see it the way that the rest of us see it -- that is, $23 billion spent on that is something we couldn't spend on something else and is a reason why "we can't have nice things". I managed to hear a significant amount of gossip about a program that a 3 letter agency decided to pursue with EADS despite EADS having no familiarity with the technology involved and being frankly completely lost about how to proceed.

There is a hermetic culture of people involved in defense contracting who, I think, just don't see the barriers involved. You, for instance, received a security clearance when you served in the Navy. For a small company getting security clearances for workers who don't already have them could seem next to impossible.
I think they could both be right. Sure, you don't want to give away the technical tells (TLS client version, etc). But if something is being moderated for it's actual content, then I think it could be beneficial to say why. While you don't want nefarious groups corrupting the public perception through misinformation, you also don't want platforms doing this by suppressing legitimate speech.

> Certainly this is not true of Crimea, where people have been independently polled by Western NGOs and the weight of the evidence is they want to be part of Russia.

You mean "a very slightly bigger half of them", right? And that was before all this shit went down and Russians started to mobilize them. I wonder how they feel now, don't you?

Nah, my thesis is that Russia started with it immediately.

This is the correct answer, but I always read it as "straight-cherry' in my mind.
It's nice they keep working on making iPadOS more useable. But it seems like a waste of time to me.

Just let iPads run MacOS already.

(or put the nice touch screen on MacBooks, same difference)

If it's too awkward to use macOS without a keyboard and pointing device then, sure, maybe MacOS mode isn't the default.
Yes, I am surprised to see it flying under the radar here. But it not having the gen 2 pencil support is egregious especially given the hike in prices
You also deal with the real world and real people, neither of which operate in binary.

Plenty of people over the years have attempted to skirt the law by putting a proxy in the middle and as such, plenty of clarifications have happened that it doesn't matter.

MS's stance here is specifically that it's the responsibility of the person/company using copilot to ensure the code isn't infringing, it is NOT their stance that the code itself is not infringing.

Their stance is that using it as TRAINING DATA is fair use, so they themselves hold no liability, only their users.

---

It's similar to chicken factories claiming they hold no liability for employing illegal immigrants because those illegal immigrants are the ones who chose to work there. And that they also hold no liability if they go through a 3rd party that exclusively hires illegal immigrants. The law very clearly refutes both stances.
Why do people always resort to argumentum ad populum when it comes to defending the insanity that the modern Republican party has come to represent. They can't be wrong or immoral, there's millions of them!
I like some of those, maybe 10% of the time (because i'm reasonably anti-social), but man it has to be really good to put up with a commute.

Wasting 1-2 hours of my day, with the potential to have it become a 4 hour drive once every week or two.. just way too rough.

I honestly don't get how people put up with commutes. Like, honestly and really. It feels like i'm just destroying any chance i have for downtime during the weekdays. Throw in chores, and oof. Plus i don't have kids.. i can't imagine having kids on top of a commute.
The pay for teachers is dismally bad. Most that I know purely do it for job satisfaction which I respect immensely.
As a commment on the /r/iPad subreddit said, Apple accidentally made the most future-proof devices with the 2018 iPad Pros. There is not a single app that makes full use of the increased CPU power of these new iPads.

I own a 2018 11" iPP, and it has been a game-changer in the way I have studied. After buying it, I haven't printed a single sheet of paper for note-taking. It's also a much better Netflix device than my phone.

> The "privacy" provided by so-called private browsing mode is just a smokescreen

And to add insult to injury, browsing artifacts are sometimes remembered in Windows' pagefile and other parts of the OS. Even on Linux, if your distro cares to add stuff to swap, it will dump browsing sessions in plaintext to your hard-drive, incognito/private mode or not. This is why people need to use TailsOS[0] if they're really concerned about not leaving any traces.

These excess deaths occurred over a period of two or three years. The subsequent deficit will be spread over perhaps 30 years so it would be around 1/10th as much.

There's no lobby, but you count me as part of an anti-tree-planting group. There's a specific reason why, and it's because of how it's done. The reason that they plant trees, is to grow specific kinds of trees that are good for logging companies. So they spray areas that are logged with glycosphate to prevent other plants from reclaiming the logged areas, and then plant round-up ready GMO trees in the area. It leads to these massive mono-culture forests that are prime for huge forest fires. The trees they want are fire-promoting trees (like pines), and the trees they don't (like aspen) are fire break species. They then blame the bigger forest fires entirely on climate change.
I think a mixture is probably the best, because, cynically, I bet people with high social capital could engineer a way to improve their standardized grades as well. By requiring them to cover more bases, it drives their costs up. A ringer is an obvious solution, but there is a lot of room to be "creative." The best way for admissions to pick well is to always remain liquid on metrics. Keep the pool wide; diversify your metrics portfolio.

No sarcasm intended.

Having a 2 to 3 week lockdown every few months would be far preferable over the current situation where you constantly have to be on the lookout yourself and will still get infected anyway, resulting in weeks of being unable to work due to long covid.

If you've had long covid, even when vaccinated (as in my case), you'll realize why stricter measures are so important.

Most local ccc chapters, e.g., Chaosdorf, still enforce a strict vaccination + daily tests + FFP2 masks rule for their spaces, for the same reasons.

One of the major features of the chaos congress was that it was purely run by volunteers, including the emergency response team. And pretty much no one with that knowledge would support an event like the congress in the current pandemic situation.

Yes, this sort of narrative plays a lot better when describing someone you're actively at war with. Along with the fact that you are always winning the war. Ukraine has been winning the war with Russia for about 9 months now, according to the media.

It's a very confusing announcement because "iPad" here means "the budget-model iPad", which has had the old design with lightning and a physical home button until now, while the other models (Air and Pro) haven't had either of those in years
Yes, since Apple started selling devices with OLED screens, they have called new products with LCD screens Liquid Retina. See iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPad Mini 6, etc.
You could actually get a full desktop experience from a tablet back in 2003, with products like the NEC Versa Litepad [1] running Windows XP. With a fully-fledged x86 processor, you could run anything a desktop could run.

I just sold a house in Vancouver after living in it for over a decade. The amortized cost of maintenance was less than 100 CAD/mo; and that included new quartz counters, a new roof, new hot water tanks, a whole yard remodel, new flooring, and so on.

I don't think there's a lack of interest per se. Perhaps it's simply the realization that The Military Industrial Complex beast doesn't need to be fed any more than it already is?

Per former POTUS Obama in the 2016 State of the Union:

"The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period. It's not even close. We spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined. Our troops are the finest fighting force in the history of the world. No nation dares to attack us or our allies because they know that's the path to ruin."

There's a lot to unpack there. I trust you can manage it without my intervention. But for the most part, anyone responsible would be suspect of any MIC-driven narrative at this point. And rightfully so.

I'd add, anecdotally, the DOD and the Intelligence Community share enough of the same DNA to fear that today's "defense technology" becomes tomorrow'w at-home surveillance state.

Again, it's not the lack of interest per se. It's that HN tends to have a different set of priorities.

Why are so many onsite advocates bringing socialising up? We are not there for their mental health or to fill in voids in their personal life. Have they considered that many of their socialising needs are not satisfied precisely because of office work that mandates people waste their time commuting or being far from their loved ones in the first place? It’s not that i dont sympathise, but seriously.
Yeah, but then they would be redefining the "edge".

Depends on the gearbox. Really modern ones won't, anything more than about ten years old will downshift if you select a lower gear.
Increasingly those are niche problems.

You can still socialize digitally with others if you work from home, or step out and get lunch or coffee at local businesses and be around people.

A home is no more distracting than an office.

Work is what happens when your laptop is open. Make a ritual of closing it to symbolize the end of your work day and you get the same effect.

Working from an office sucks and is for lower class jobs IMO. It is beneath a software engineer’s esteemed status.

Page rank is a blast from the past. We need something better to display subject authority.
A couple of reasons:

Defense tech skews fairly conservative. You may be underselling Luckey's talent, he single-handedly created the VR industry! But his weird obsession with the border and other political hot topics makes his company very un-fun to talk about. Even if you are fairly conservative but libertarian leaning, you may find empowering government agencies to police (or harm!) civilians is unpalatable for a lot of people.

Seconding on that, a lot of defense technology is used in immigration enforcement. Tech is an immigrant-heavy sector. Working for defense tech can often require security clearance only a small segment the programming community is even eligible for.

But more than anything, I think the kind of work most programmers could do in defense technology is going to be largely unfun. Building guns and planes and space lasers is cool. But being part of government procured code is not. There is not going to be much glamour, or insight to share (if you were even allowed to share about it).
I mean, there is still a large portion of the US who simply don't get any form of preventative cure, doctors becoming extremely overworked and stressed from the impossible amount of diagnostic and billing paperwork, and rural hospitals regularly closing. I've found there are few defenders of the US healthcare status quo who aren't insurance reps or ideologs who have never had a lapse in coverage

It's a large 2 story loft space. It has a full kitchen (as most offices do too these days), and 2 full bathrooms. There is a loft bedroom and small closed off office space that are both conference rooms when it's in office mode.

Really, how different are offices from apartments? You have space, kitchen, bathrooms, etc.

The only thing that is weird is most offices don't have a washer and dryer, other than that if I walked in this space and it was decorated as an office I wouldn't think twice, same in apartment mode.

I think, like many commentators here, you're taking a very narrow technical view of what PG is talking about in what is actually a very broad a high level discussion.

Whether or not it's possible to prove a specific postulate in set theory is formally true (the axiom of choice, which was only formulated in 1904) isn't going to stop aliens counting objects and calculating the area of squares. They may not agree with us about formalism vs intuitionism, but it seems likely they would agree with us about a huge array of practical mathematical operations and results. PG is just asking what are the areas we would be extremely likely to agree on. Pointing out that there might be specific, advanced, highly obscure controversies we might disagree on isn't even in contention. Of course there are.

Some child porn laws may be an abuse, but that doesn't mean all child porn laws are.

The exact example I mention doesn't matter. I am just saying free speech absolutism doesn't make sense unless you are anarchist. Free speech doesn't include hiring a hit man, treason, libel, slander, etc.

If you are actually in support of no regulation on speech then do you actually support removing the laws I mentioned above? You don't think somebody hiring a hitman to kill you or a loved one should be punishable?
What I'm saying is that bumping atomic references inside a hot loop will be detrimental for performance, and since it invalidates a cache line and this can flush caches for lots of cores. It also shuts down ILP.
>Please don't act condescending.

Please don't accuse me of acting condescending. It's very offensive and hurts my feelings when I'm accused of something I'm not doing.

I am criticizing you, but I am not being condescending. There is a huge difference.

Perhaps the alien thing was bad. I apologize for that. The intent was a joke and was not condescension.

>That is the point that I am trying to make: experimentation can bring proof to strengthen a hypothesis. Even if a later experiment invalidates a hypothesis, all of the previous experiments' results don't disappear, and any new hypothesis we formulate still needs to be coherent with them to have any value: we have actually learned something important from our thousand experiments, even if our 1001st showed that the hypothesis we had in mind was false.

Yes but this was not part of the discussion. We're talking about science as a principle. Not what we have learned from the process of science.

>This observation is also very important for understanding why the history of natural philosophy is essentially one of continuous progress, with very little backtracking: even if induction is not good enough to know that we have a perfectly complete and consistent theory (and we will never have one), we always have something salvageable from all of the experimentation done so far. Even geocentric models with their epicycles were actually working models, which predicted the positions of planets in the next 1000 years to quite good accuracy, even if they were clearly wrong in the end.

Important or not, we diverged from the point. Whether Science is a valid principle shared by humans and aliens is the point. My point is, PG's view isn't even shared with humans, why should he assume it's going to be shared with aliens?

You're talking about the importance of science. The value of science. That's off topic.
