Humans have a long history of relegating certain bodily functions to technology outside their bodies, to lower the requirements for survival.

Frying meat lowered requirements for the intestine, the immune system, and the teeth, compared to eating raw meat.

Baking bread lowered these requirements even further: old people who lost almost all teeth could now survive and be useful.

Various medical inventions saved innumerable lives, including some people who would otherwise die young, bur who lived enough to make a large impact on culture.

Probably this process will continue, producing a more fragile general population with more impressive outliers, and maybe even more (intellectually or otherwise) impressive baseline.
Not true. Their list is short, their definition of open source is technically in name. You're deliberately pretending MS' current form doesn't exist.
They are not predatory. They are entirely market based. Why shouldn't companies be allowed to charge whatever is the market price? Or maybe in general we should start applying price controls to absolutely everything. Let's say only ever allow 5% net profit on any good or service.
Modern Clojure includes that - it's deps.edn (though I'm good with Leiningen).

And ditch Emacs (unless you are already using it/used to it) and try VSCode + Calva that runs basically out of the box.

Exceptions... yes.... they are clear when you know what they mean, but it takes time, because they are so long.

Startup... you only start a REPL once, so does not really matter (to me at least). For compiled code, you can try GraalVM, that has zero-ish startup time - because all static initialization is resolved at compile-time.

Just my $.02

Edit: Calva also includes a debugger - never used it, but here it is https://calva.io/debugger/
Adam Tooze about risk of large-scale sovereign default
Your awesome, thank you for sharing this comment and the image you created with the world. As someone who has struggled with a similar family history with my own father, I appreciate and am thankful for the humanity you have shared. We are all better for it. Thank you.
This is a pet peeve of mine - the common misconceptions that "junk DNA" is just DNA with an unknown function.

By far most junk DNA really is junk. We know this because we know its nonfunctional origin (transposons, pseudogenes and similar), because we can do studies of conservation between species, and because there is a huge range of junk DNA content in otherwise similar species.

The misconception come from media bias: You'll never hear a story about "junk DNA really is junk, researchers find"

> What Microsoft wasn't ready for was the hardware getting so good that Apple could just port their existing desktop OS and software over.

Eh, I mean, MS attempted that more that once themselves: though WinCE wasn't Win9x inside, it sure looked like one, and purportedly even had swap.
yeah okay

just saying the desktop version crashed after launching it

hope it's fixed now

Try a buggy kernel and breaking your network in one `nixos-rebuild switch`, garbage-collecting older working generations and trying to fix your config back into working state. Great fun.

Other than that, NixOS is a godsend.
EMV/tap to pay doesn't expose credit card or account numbers. This is sufficient for most user's banking needs.

Bank ledgers generally provide better integrity for people than blockchains, because they allow fraud remediation.

The two primary advantage of cryptocurrencies in my view is semi-anonymous payments for grey/black market transactions, and international money transfers.

Gallium Arsenide. Semiconductor with certain nicer properties than silicon that allow it to switch faster and have a larger operating temperature at the cost being harder and more expensive to manufacture. That's a fairly big caveat, being a lot of the reason why silicon is so ubiquitous, relegating adoption of other semiconductors to more niche applications where their more optimal properties are a necessity.

They don't go down if you turn off your Raspberry Pi.

I also can be 99.9999% sure that they run correctly and Ethereum itself is pretty unhackable, as proven by the multi-billion bug-bounties.

The smart contracts running on Ethereum are open source, unlike your PHP script, can be audited, and if marked immutable, i'm sure no malicious person/business can hack or change it, and if they do it has an auditable backlog.

Companies like Apple and Google make huge profits. That means they are clearly profiteering of the customers. We should strip the stock from their owners and set them to sell at much much lower prices. Even below cost for good of the world.

Gentlemen, experts of economy, it's time to realize we are walking in circles from one government intervention to the other. Capping rents, reducing inflation, minimum wage and UBI, cutting or raising taxes, regulations regulations regulations.

It's true that the G4 processor was introduced in 1999, before OS X was even in beta. But I think OS X was the default installation on all Macs from 10.2 in around 2002 at the latest.

The aluminium Powerbooks and iBook G4s were introduced during 2003 and ran OS X exclusively. You can get them to boot OS9, but only via hacks that haven't become available until recent years. And of course, no x86 machine ever ran OS 9 in any form, so setting Apple's transition to "UNIX machines" with unibodies in 2008 - two years after the Intel shift, and five years after that's the only OS Apple actually shipped - seems a bit strange.
openSUSE is working on a similar distro now which likely will replace their non rolling release offering Leap.

As far as I understand they think the current distro/software model is not sustainable and this is how they are trying to solve it.

Well the fact that you are limited by the C64 itself makes you use every bit of creativity to pull off such a demo as A Mind is Born.

I think it is this limiting factor that is partly responsible for keeping the C64 scene alive. While it is limiting, there are also still infinite possibilities of creativity. I don't personally find say, the PC demo scene as interesting because it is not really limited in any way other than size competitions. But still there you get a lot more mileage out of every opcode than on the C64.
I would think that having discussions about working, net positive regulations would be pointless. I'm not sure why you think that discussing broken ones is indicative of all of them.

Do you have any specific examples of his genius that allowed him to defy the giant competitors?

Or maybe the existing / new Tesla folks did a lot of the work, like the founders that were ousted by him, but didn’t really get the credit, because Musk wants to be seen as this genius Tony Stark type of inventor.

And dont you think being at the right time and place had something to do with with Teslas initial success, ie the other car manufacturers didn’t really focus or push EVs and Musk had a good marketing idea to place EVs as one solution to combat climate change (yet he actively tried to derail a high speed rail project, which tells me he doesn’t really care about climate change).

When I hear the word genius… I think of Einstein, Newton or Hawking… ppl who use their creative mind and imagination to introduce something completely new and paradigm shifting to the world.

I don’t think that’s what he has done. He used his money to invest in existing ideas and help accelerate them, by using his audience building and marketing skills… so yes he deserves credit for that.

But I would like to be proven wrong, hence why I’d like to know about concrete examples which you think classify Elon as a genius.

That makes sense. I forgot that tenants typically come with the building when they change hands in NYC.

Around here, most bigger buildings are corporate-owned (equally good or terrible to all), or small enough where loopholes allow everyone to be evicted at sale.

Have you actually tested that? I bet you if you ask the average person "can your coffee shop read your emails" they'll say no, but if you ask "can the NSA read your emails" they'll say yes.
I don't think there's a single answer to that, but I got a few points that may be the more prominent ones, in no particular order:

a) Their (now changing) stance against unfree firmware files. This made the default adverdised installer fail most laptop installations due to the WIFI firmware not being available, so no internet to pull down the required packages to make it work. There were unofficial ISOs, but they were hard to find and so a frustrating experience if you didn't know about it. Same, but not as worse with other unfree stuff, like NVidia drivers, you are required to enable the non-free repos, which makes totally sense if you check it out more closely but still a bump in the road for users new(er) to Linux or only used Debian derivatives that often have a stance that is (relatively) less freedom oriented.
As hinted, the firmware situation recently changed and will get better with the next major release next year.

b) It's more universal and flexible to go in various direction, so it comes with a less opinionated out-of-the-box experience, for the better or worse (depending on your preferences). For example, Ubuntu provides a Server and a Desktop edition, and then all the semi-official Desktop spins for KDE, XFCE, ..., but Debian doesn't you can get it to move in either direction quite easily once you grasp its basics, but that naturally still is an overhead compared to just pulling a preconfigured "ready to fly" version ISO.

c) It is definitively is sturdier, but due to their policies guaranteeing that it's also less bleeding edge, well at least if you use the stable release. You can run the Debian Sid version (unstable), but the project doesn't want to promote that to inexperienced users. FWIW, I run that on my laptops since years and got an excellent experience. It's a rolling edge version of Debian, fresh as Arch, but I just align a bit better with Debian (plus develop on it at work).

There are surely some more, but those where the biggest three popping into my head.

The great thing about Debian, they got quite a healthy relationship to most of their derivatives. Which could IMO only happen due to not being run by a major company or the like, but 100% community based. While that sometimes makes for slow turning mills, but still (or maybe exactly because of that) an excellent and safe foundation for their users, be it direct ones or indirect through derivatives.
So they are fixing an inefficiency in market by actually charging what market can bear. Should be applauded for the work, as inefficient markets are bad. Now they genera more profit which they can invest in more property thus enabling possibly more units to be build.

Ideally the proper casting of this sentence would be FAA not Boeing. Because they got embedded government agency people I fear this casting is alas, right: Boeing will certify, not the regulator.

That's how we got here in the first place isn't it?

Ideally, Boeing would be made to go back to what it was before McDonnel Douglas management modified it (I believe)

Airbus will cream the market, the 350 and other variants are selling well. Comac and Bombardier will mop up some business. Existing Boeing only airlines will be very unhappy. 787 and 777 owners won't blink.

I always wonder if there is some truth in parapsychology. If it is, then the domain is based on super mega empiric experiments and evidences, similarly to how ancient Greeks discovered electrically charged materials.

Until we won't do many more experiments and use as much scientific methods as possible for conducting experiments and gathering evidences, the field will sit at the border of imposture.
Not sure what you mean here, but... no. You can rebind, of course, but I never found myself in a situation where the REPL was too bad to be used.

I usually restart the REPL only when I add a dependency, so it will be fetched without me caring about it.
Price caps generally don't work, however EU examples show that some balanced 'price control' can work. There are rent moderation schemes in place in France, Germany, Ireland and parts of Spain. It's working well so far.

> I'm not sure why you think that discussing broken ones is indicative of all of them.

Because it's the same system proposing and implementing them. A broken system is very unlikely to ever produce correct results.
> The silver bullet, as it were, is open communication about your needs, wants, and fears. Sometimes, that leads to ethical non-monogamy -- when that is actually what you want, and when you can manage the genuine fears that come with that.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

The thing is you really need to dig down into what those fears are and determine if they're legitmate or not. My partner and I talked about opening our relationship for at least 6 months before we acted on it. We talked about it in great detail and found that a lot of our fears really are unjustified. Things we discussed were topics like:

"you might fall in love with someone else" - that is always a risk with relationships regardless of being open or not, and part of being in a relationship is the trust that they wouldn't run away with someone else. We took the pragmatic view that if it did happen, we were never meant to be together anyway and an open relationship allows us to get to that outcome quicker.

"I'm not good enough to satisfy your needs" - this is where I think societal pressure comes into play. People compare themselves to others a lot, and they see happy monogamous couples and think that their relationship is dirty or failing compared to the ultimate gold standard. You come to realise that monogamy is seen as the gold standard purely because that is what western society says it is. Instead, you should be truthful to yourself and your partners wants or desires.

There are serious and legitimate fears that need to be talked through, for example how much time you devote to others, or more practical concerns like STIs. This is where the communication part comes in and you ultimately need to decide if it's right for yourselves.

> It would definitely help to stop having society declare non-monogamy the ultimate sin, even if that's what the partners want. Relationships are hard enough without having to satisfy people who aren't even part of it.

Couldn't agree more.

I once told a very close friend of mine that we were considering opening our relationship and the hostility I received was crazy. His conclusion was that 'you just agree to cheat on each other'. To me, this misses the entire point of why cheating is bad. Cheating isn't bad because of the act of having sex, it is bad because you chose to lie to your partner.

After that incident we decided we'd never to tell heterosexual monogamous people again about our relationship, most just don't get it and it's not worth the risk.
> I use Arch Linux and really appreciate it for the documentation and the rolling release. I wouldn't say it's intuitive for a Linux beginner, though. Expected features don't exist until you go out of your way to install and configure them. Updates often require some finesse at the command line.

I've been very happy with Manjaro KDE Plasma which I installed maybe two years ago. It's been my main OS since then and I've never had a single problem.

When I installed it on my somewhat unpopular laptop it was the only distro that "just worked". I tried Pop!_OS, Fedora, KDE Neon, EndeavourOS and Kubuntu and some other ones without luck. Pop!_OS didn't even boot.

On Manjaro everything (except for Nvidia graphics) just worked. From thunderbolt to sleep and display switching. The Nvidia setup could've be smoother (needed a slew of terminal commands), but once set up it works. Actually it was my dad that recommended Manjaro as he had exactly the same experience with his laptop.

Debian based distros has given me headaches every time I try to dist-upgrade (following every recommended step). It's still a mystery how that process can be so unreliable considering Debian has been around for ~30 years. It was not long ago that I broke Raspberry Pi OS at dist-upgrade. Luckily, Manjaro KDE Plasma is available for the Pi as well.

Manjaro gives me rolling releases and stability. openSUSE Tumbleweed looks kind of interesting, but Manjaro is working and and at this time in life I've got better things to do than to distro hop.
Another place doing some important research is KAUST above Jeddah on the Red Sea. They are working with one of the Barrier Reef photogrammetry capture programs to monitor coral and doing replacement testing etc due to higher average water temps so a coral evolved to withstand Red Sea summer might be a fit for the more recently hotter QLD water. I hope something like this works one of the most amazing things I have ever seen was a spawning event years ago. Coral is the canary in the coal mine of Climate Change and if we can't help them adapt then I am afraid we might not be able to either.
