> Value ... grounds out in human desires

You wouldn't believe how rare it is for me to meet someone who agrees with this. I'm in leadership at a web3 company and I need to reiterate this point over and over again. NFTs don't have intrinsic value OR arbitrary value. ERC20s don't have intrinsic value OR arbitrary value. If it doesn't tie back into user psychology, it's not worth anything.

Interesting historical note is that one of Freud's original metaphors for understanding the nature of desire was the unconscious "investor" or "capitalist" who outlays affective charge to the conscious "entrepreneur", who relates to objects. This is known in the literature as Freud's "economic metaphor", which I've found immensely helpful in my own understanding.
How is Snapdragon 8cx support on Linux? I recall seeing some basic dotfiles for the ARM Thinkpad when it hit shelves, but I haven't seen anything else. Is there a good chance it would run OOB on a recent kernel with this devkit?
Paper manufacturing and recycling isn’t carbon neutral either
I already addressed this. There's no flipping, they mean the same thing in this context; epoll was supposed to allow the expression of a certain class of programs, but it instead instead encouraged a bunch of broken, fragile programming patterns, and epoll tiself required numerous revisions and extensions to to actually get the behaviour it should have had to begin with, and also limited to a subset of the kernel abstractions kqueue supports. That's considerably worse than kqueue to the point where it's broken. I don't see any further need to discuss it frankly, we've each said our piece.
> You still get carbon emissions however.

Yes and no. If the energy is recycled (for heating buildings and/or water) you'll reduce carbon emissions from coal/gas/oil. Waste incineration (instead of landfills) is a thing in various European countries and the heat can (and will) be used to heat buildings or the steam drives turbines to generate electricity.

Is this actually true? How is Visual Studio in parallels or crossover?
Don't be naive, in any peer-conflict between nations that could hit satellites, any civilian infrastructure is a valid military target. The only thing that holds either side back is fear of reciprocity. Power stations, merchant ships, radio stations, all of this stuff is "fair game" by the rules which actually matter. You think civilian satellites would be exempt from this, when they don't even have women and children on board? Please. All communication infrastructure, like power grids, are de facto duel use.
The US military has been buying the service of civilian communication satellites for as long as they have existed. This changes nothing.

>but the UN says...

US federal law says it will invade the Hague if the ICC, or any other international court the US doesn't choose to consent to, is used against US or allied personnel.

The "validity" of a target is determined solely by the military utility of attacking it Any other standard is a joke that goes straight out the window when a major war starts, and since you're talking about American/NATO satellites being hit, you're obviously talking about a major war. International laws don't keep American civilian infrastructure safe from attack; fear of what the American military will do to retaliate is what actually matters.

If you want to understand the epistemic status of any formal object related to "infinity" in Mathematics, the best three starting points are Religion, Sociology, and the History of Mathematics. I think a good History of World Religions course plus some focused reading on notions of infinity is likely more useful than an Analysis course for really understanding questions like "Are Real Numbers Real?"

I do not think it is possible to divorce even modern notions of infinity from the deep impact that superstitious thinking has had on the direction of Mathematical thinking -- and thinking in general about anything remotely metaphysical, really -- for the last few thousand years (with only very recent counter-examples).

Reading through this thread really exposes how little defense industry knowledge there is on this forum. Like are we really just speculating that the entirety of the US strategic missile defense apparatus forgot about hypersonic missiles?

The US invented hypersonic: the first in-atmosphere, manned hypersonic vehicle (X-15) in the 1960s, as well as the first hypersonic ABM system (Sprint) in the 1970s, which was designed to intercept warheads that were incoming at Mach 24 just seconds before they reached their targets. Sprint was a high-hypersonic countermeasure (Mach 10+) and that was something the US mass-produced 50 years ago.

But to answer your rhetorical question, the answer is that US has indeed published some of its anti-hypersonic countermeasures to the public: https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2022-04-15

> However the main reason to switch from hand mills to windmills was that it was far easier for the miller to collect taxes when the grain was milled than for tax collectors to go to every peasant and collect taxes there.

I think you’re mixing cause (larger windmills are more efficient, making it a win to centralize them) with effect (that makes it easier to tax flour production).

If that were the main reason, we would have stories about people clandestinely milling at home. I’m not aware of any.

(I also think, but am not sure, milling already was centralized before the introduction of wind power)
Disclaimer: IANAF, this info comes from pure curiosity and reading.

He was describing wild boar interbreeding as being the source of fur and tusks but AFAIK any hog allowed to mature in nature instead of captivity will develop fur and tusks. I haven't found clear explanations as to why the fur happens (weather? Food? Sessile vs active lifestyle?), but any hog allowed to go feral in the wild will look like a hairy, angry, dangerous animal. edit: The tusks differ just because of trimming and age.

Which fits with the description of the pigs being allowed to roam in captive forests.

One thing that stands out is the timeline - the article describes 3 years to mature enough to be allowed into the forest.

In modern factory farming, pigs are generally slaughtered at 6 months, and if they're being bred they start breeding at around a year. Treating pigs as immature at below 3 years is a staggering difference.
I have mixed feelings about how successful this will be. The 32GB of RAM is really cool for the price - but 8cx Gen 3 is still no M1. It's still significantly slower than an 11th Gen laptop Core i5. Probably not super fun to develop on, even if serviceable - but considering nobody has cared about Windows on ARM to this point, why would you spend $599 to suddenly care about it, when WoA has far less than 1% of Windows PC marketshare?

Because Microsoft says it's the future? Microsoft is the worst at these promises. That's what they said about Windows 8, then Windows RT, the Windows Phone, the Windows Phone 8 platform, Windows 10 Mobile, UWP in General, the Windows Store, the relaunched Windows Store, Windows on ARM years ago, Project Reunion with XAML islands, Windows 10 S, Windows 10 X, Desktop Converter Bridge, the iOS Converter Bridge... I suppose they kept their promises with DirectX and that kind of thing. Right now, developer apathy for Windows is nearly insurmountable, and has been for the last decade, and Microsoft's constant changing of directions does not instill confidence.

The fundamental fail is relying on each application to have an update policy you prefer thus needing to fix the same problem over and over and over. The solution is package management where you fix the problem exactly once and have some hope of tackling it. Although this isn't natively how mac handles software there are package managers for mac which could tackle this aspect.

If you want to update less often then you need someone to spend time classifying updates as more or less vital and this is fundamentally a problem. All updates contain fixed bugs and those bug fixes are often blueprints suitable for malicious actors to exploit systems even if the bug wasn't considered a security issue. That is to say all updates are security updates.

The obvious solution instead of only selectively installing updates to your browsers and other vital software is to be selective instead about when to apply them and restoring state afterwards. Firefox helpfully already can restore itself after update. You could for example having updates happen at an hour you are reliably sleeping rather than whenever.

On a system with package management I would solve this by either leaving the machine on and scheduling updates, having it wake on a schedule if bios supported, or waking it with wake on lan. This does require SOMETHING to be on. In my house I would use the single board computer I use for other purposes and have it simply wake my machine and use ssh to tell it to update then go back to sleep.

From what I can tell, the earliest manuscript of Revelation 13:18 (the typical source of "666" being evil) originates from the third century CE in Egypt [1], instead saying "616" is the mark of the beast and using the Greek numerals. The first example of the earliest ancestor to the modern numeral "6" appears in inscriptions in India dating to the same period [2]. I would expect there is no relationship between Revelation and the modern numeral for 6.

I think the legacy of trust busting from the late 1800's and early 1900's carried over pretty well into the post-war boom in the 50's and 60's, and that's why we have so many stories about how home appliances lasted for 30, 40, and 50 years back then. I think our system started falling over with the deregulation under Reagan in the 80's, and it's being a steadily-increasing decline ever since. Matthew Stoller on Twitter is closely following Lina Kahn at the FTC, and she seems intent on restoring the balance between consumers and corporations, but I'm afraid that if she actually does something noticeable by the general populace in this regard, she'll simply be replaced by a "sympathetic" administration, and the organization "steered" back into compliance. If so, the people who do this should just disband them. It doesn't do us any good to have regulatory gatekeepers on the payroll, if they're only acting like the ratings companies in the MBS fiasco and subsequent meltdown.

Actually I listened to a NPR show that said something like 666 was a mis-translation or due to a smudge on an old doc. Supposedly it should be 616. IIRC, they said in Roman Numerals 616 has/had somekind of meaning.

>Being below inflation, your mortgage payment will likely be below the comparable rents for essentially forever.

The price to rent ratio is above 20 in most major us cities[1]. In hot markets like Seattle or Oakland it's even above 30. With a price to rent ratio of 20, 2.75% interest, and $1 million house, your monthly mortgage payment would be $4613, but you'll only be bringing in $4167 in rent, which means a loss of $446/month. This is before expenses like maintenance or property taxes, which would make the loss even higher. With a price to rent ratio of 30, this is even worse, with $2778 in rent and a loss of $1835 before expenses.

Just because people might be knowledgeable about certain technologies doesn't make them knowledgeable about anything else.

I can't help but feel we've entered into a perverse loop where we make movies / games only pander to stereotypes of their viewers, and we breed ignorance.

First of all art seems to be obsessed with medieval European, and all other periods and places are forgotten. The only other period that gets showtime is antiquity in rome/egypt/greece (which is more or less one period).

We have a catch 22, that noone knows whats been happening in ancient China or India, and so movies about them are few and far between.

Up until my current employer, I couldn't hold a place more than three years. I'd get bored, my edges would fit the shape of the company, and I just couldn't move.

> max power is also important, and is perhaps currently the limiting factor?

Precisely! That's what I learned after spending time creating a reasonably granular simulation. Everyone talks about energy. This allows for hand-wavy arguments that end-up being false. I am not claiming that people do this intentionally or maliciously, BTW. Until someone takes the time to truly understand the realities of widely deployed EV's, it is impossible for them to understand what the problem looks like at scale.

The hand-wavy statement usually takes the form of "just charge at night/work/off-peak", etc. What is not immediately obvious in this way of thinking is that this isn't at all a solution. It's hard to think in terms of aggregate demand.

No matter how you charge, slow, fast, distributed across the day/week, etc. At the end of the day, what you discover is that there's an unavoidable steady-state power generation and delivery requirement. Energy is power spread over time. Energy is great, but it does not address the needs this second, or the next. That's power. And that's the issue.

I came to a similar conclusion: The sole criterion for the viability of a currency is acceptance in trade.

This simple truism explains every currency that "works" and every one that didn't all at once.

It can be a terrible currency, but if it's generally accepted in trade, too bad. Governments can mandate it, but that won't always save it. Just look at Zimbabwe dollars. They were official. And all but worthless. USD is accepted worldwide, even though its based on less than even a shitcoin, and 90% of it doesn't physically exist according to the Fed themselves.
