Does it resemble how CGI incremented to VR and AR to replace analog experiences (nowhere near as good)?

Even tcp/ip has devolved into a "failed social experiement" with petabytes of low quality/low aptitude vocabulary.

Funnily enough, the Chrome SSH extension uses pNaCl which is wasm-like in a roundabout way (non-ISA dependent bytecode running in the browser). So it's really not so different from what tailscale is doing.

A surprising number of common applications already do this.

I ran into a recent bug[1] caused by a Windows update where TLS handshakes would randomly fail. But this only presented in a few apps. Browsers and .NET apps were all completely unaffected because they don't use the OS level functionality to handle TLS.

Indeed. The main problem with GDPR is that enforcement has been slow. And that the industry has blamed its own behavior on the law.

The important bit that you are missing is that Meta and its metaverse can survive only if the world they are building will be:

1. addictive enough that a very large chunk of humanity will visit it daily (ideally many times a day)

2. attractive to advertisers (I am including shopping in that)

In this context having fantastic software or a fantastic device is not a convincing argument. Facebook.com wasn't a fantastic piece of software when it blew up, hardware is mostly irrelevant (in the sense that it should be so good that it's basically unnoticeable to the user). The metaverse is not a coherent idea - it's a product of an obsessive mind with almost unlimited resources (for now at least).

This experiment has failed already. When early games with very primitive graphics were first released on home computers, they attracted a very dedicated following. People _wanted_ to play even primitive games. Same with many popular desktop applications and websites. Looking at something that is receiving overwhelmingly bad reviews from all target audiences and saying that we just need to invest $50B more does not make sense. The idea has to work at a smaller scale and has to experience organic growth for it to be viable and attractive to investors.

But Minecraft is not a VR - that's kinda the point. Minecraft never tried to be a clone of our reality, but in computer and under somebody's control. SecondLife tried that and failed. Minecraft built a completely different reality, with different laws - that's what worked.

That is kinda circular argument. What's the use of being native of technology that nobody is actually using for anything interesting? At least in Minecraft you can learn a living on Youtube maybe...

I never understood why dams have suffered such a reversal of fortune.

Maybe if the author did even the slightest bit of due diligence he would've found out most potential hydro sites in the West already have a dam on them. Without significant technological improvement hydro is effectively tapped-out already. IEEE is starting to match Medium for "I started and finished writing this article during the same session on the toilet" submissions.
The problem with it is that it ignores that living creatures for the most part compete, not cooperate. Even the ones that do cooperate evolve successful "cheaters" that get the benefits of cooperation without the drawbacks. There is no "system" of the Earth but millions of competing systems. The fact that they've managed not not destroy the Earth's ecosystem (yet) is simply a coincidence. In fact, there's at least one example in the past of one that did cause such a catastrophe -- cyanobacteria, which produced the large amounts of free oxygen we have today in our atmosphere. Necessary to our (and most animals) existence, but deadly to most of the life on Earth at the time (which was anaerobic).
I'm honestly curious if that is legal, it sounds like fraud. Not a lawyer of course.

Thinking about something getting shot in the head isn't too helpful, because you could realistically run a similar moral exercise on just about every thing you encounter in modern life, and find that somewhere, something along the line from raw material to finished product is getting either literally or proverbially shot in the head.
Yes. I do not think that I have EVER clicked on a google ad, in almost 25 years or however long they've been around.

It's much more simple than that - vast majority of the world has become rich or richer by using more energy (almost a tautology), and vast majority of energy is produced from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are still for the most part the simplest, technologically, energy source with the fastest payoff.

To get the world even to European per-capita energy usage levels, current energy production would have to be expanded 3x [1] You just have to convince a few billion and their leaders that they should remain in relative poverty for a few more decades, waiting for solar/wind/nuclear to ramp up to several times the entire current energy production. Heck, the energy production needs to expand just to bring everyone to Chinese levels, and then you would not only need to set a forever-ceiling for the above billions, but also convince a billion or so Americans/Europeans/... to become poor.

If you can't convince people to stay or become poor voluntarily, they are going to need energy. Surprise, some people are eager to sell them this energy. But it's the demand that drives the supply.

With that said... two of my favorite djs right now, who are talented vinyl djs, often bring their own gear to events and they use the Pioneer PLX. I wouldn't be surprised if they've modded them somehow though. In my short time with some PLXs it seems the tone arm was not very well built.

Not so different, perhaps, from his previous company PayPal however. There, detecting fraud with a hybrid AI/human examiner model was solution they found for that central difficult task. Unearthing bots and nation-state actors may not be too different, and Tesla AI is world-leading.

I understand that's not all that goes into managing a social network, but if he mostly gets out of the way other than bot-blocking, as seems to be his intent, he might be okay.
To explain the economics of pumped storage, you must first understand it.

Pumped storage round-trip efficiency is not, in fact, 25%, but routinely above 70%.

Nobody pumps water up just 10 meters. It is, instead, pumped (say) a thousand meters up to a reservoir commonly 10 meters deep. A 10m-deep reservoir needs only a cheap earthen dike. A dike is hardly a "megaproject", even if km long. Dikes are low tech.

The energy is extracted at the bottom end of a penstock. Each ton of water in a reservoir 1000m up stores 10MJ. One just 100x100x10 meters thus holds 100,000 tons, 1000 GJ, >270 MWh, 6 hours at ~40 MW.

Nobody needs 30 days' storage. If your hydro storage runs low, and local fuel tankage looks like it might, too, you order out for LNG or, soon, NH3 or LH2 from solar farms in the tropics.

Few would need or want a 1km x 1km reservoir. Smaller ones distributed where the power is needed are more useful.

An underground cavity, where it exists, can be used instead of a hilltop reservoir, or with one.

Burning NG once in a while is no big deal, but NH3 will be cheaper in the near future.
The HN algorithm works fine, use another frontend if you want a different take on the front page.

Unisys still sells Burroughs (naturally somehow modernized) as ClearPath MCP. Sales pitch, being a mainframe OS for business whose top priority is security.

> Weren't we talking about most important animal?

You’re right. I slipped into talking about species on the whole, my bad.

That said, I think it’s really important to clarify what we mean by important. Do we mean powerful, impactful? Or do we mean the lives of the individuals of that species are more valuable?

Back to powerful/impactful, if we’re talking about purely animals, then I’d look to pollinators. Would you argue that humans are more important to the functioning of the world than pollinators?

> But when it comes to most important, things a million different species can do are much less important.

Again, what do we mean by important? Power?

> Let alone the fact that we can produce oxygen and decay organic matter.

If we were to rely purely on humanity’s ability to produce oxygen and decay organic matter, the majority of life on Earth, humans included, would quickly die and then pile up, undecaying. There’s no comparison between our ability and the ability of the species that are specialized for this. It’s like comparing Einstein’s and a crow’s ability to flesh out physics. Sure, the crow might be able to solve some physics-based puzzles, but it’s on a very basic level.

> As for everything else, I don't feel like you're even trying to understand my argument. But if you're that confused it's only going to be a waste of time for me to go on.

I admittedly made some assumptions about your argument, and have been arguing against those assumptions. This is because I’m genuinely unclear on your argument. If you can clarify a couple things:

1) What exactly do we mean by important?

2) What are the boundaries of ability by which we can define humans as interchangeable, but humans and nonhuman animals as not, that are not rationalized after the fact?

If we establish these things I think we can make some progress instead of talking past each other.
Speedy TypeScript Type Checker
Here in Australia we apparently have a virtually limitless supply of sites that are very well suited to "off-river pumped hydro", and yet there doesn't seem to be any action on this front.

I find this extra surprising because we also desperately need better fresh water management for other reasons, not least of which being our country's tendency to alternate between drought and flood.

There must be some reason we're not doing it, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. It seems to tick a lot of boxes:

- Powered by intermittent renewables, and can even be collocated

- Helps with fresh water management

- Easily to parallelize construction

- Can be operated in a federated way and replaced/upgraded/maintained piecemeal

- Requires only technology that is already extremely well-understood

- Relatively cheap

- Relatively clean

- Quick and easy to turn on/off
But of course Linux kernel is fixed to a specific version of Rust. It needs unstable features [0]. Changing the version may break. Which reinforces dingosity's point about the language:

> (Rust) needs to stabilize before it's used for critical infrastructure.

[0] source: comments on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... like this one:

+ A particular version of the Rust toolchain is required. Newer versions may or may not work because the kernel depends on some unstable Rust features, for the moment.

The name didn't ring a bell, but judging from the website, it's one of the distros whose goal is to provide a Windows-like desktop with Office-like productivity software for computers with low resources.

The limiting resource is RAM. A base modern systemd-based linux system takes up ~100MB, so effectively the cost is dominated by the user interface, which is the kind of stuff distros do.

It's by no means a unique value proposition, but I guess there are people who care about that kind of GUI-driven system on a linux platform for constrained hardware.

Only projects that sign in are receiving funds. thanks.dev only makes money from tips at time of donation. The minimum withdrawal amount is $1 and that's a UI limitation mostly. Good idea re the global blacklist being overridable by the end user!

> Android is more of a power user device (you can do more, you can root it, think hack as in hacker news).

For now. Remote attestation is becoming mainstream and every app will find a reason to require it. Computing freedom was the whole point of tolerating Android's imperfections. Without that, it's just a poorly kept Google walled garden. My next phone will be an iPhone.
I think it's actually to do with whether the cutting edge is visible or not. Right-handed scissors held to the right of your eyes have effectively no margin between the cut and the edge of the blade. Right-handed scissors on your left (or vice versa) have a blade-width worth of margin between what you see and what you cut.

Funnily enough, you can also see well if you cut with right-handed scissors on your left side, but with the paper held above your eye-line.

Indeed, the fringers scraped together enough cash to mimeograph a few dozen leaflets and tucked them under cars windshield wipers; but that didn't get them far. They might be able to take out a cheap ad in a rag magazine advertising a self-published book, but that's about it. There weren't boards to put up posters, and putting a poster on a telephone pole (etc) was a crime (recent court cases have changed that without a change in the law, where I am.)

From my prior experience in a big car company. A lot of us are getting better as well, remember that there is baggage accumulated over the years. Like most things, this takes time. This bureaucracy be shed overnight, it is a painful metamorphosis. I know of systems of record where developers are close to retirement, devices which are fabricated by vendors. Every CIO change swings between "we are a car company, outsource" vs "software is eating the world, insource". Sure enough things are changing for the better.
If you go this route you should set it up for sonarr media directories to include the initial release year. This helps identify series with the same or similar names, like The Office, or House of Cards.
Personally I prefer it at the highway offramp intersections. Being in my car I don't have to do nearly as much threat analysis. In parking lots/gas stations I'm on foot and there's much more possibility for unwanted interactions.

Women would generally strongly prefer being in their vehicle for these interactions.
> I don't like another app store. Not as a user, nor as a developer.

> I would prefer first-class support for self publishing. Want to install some app, open some-app.com in a browser, and click "download" button.

Self-publishing, web-style, is suboptimal, because developers are never concerned about anything but their precious software. They're essentialy primadonnas who think that world revolves around them and computers around their "app". The results are predictable, resource utilisation of js-heavy websites is tested on high-end boxen with a single tab opened and various "self-publishing" bundles like Flatpack have 200× size vs normal deb packages. Well, I want to open more than 1 tab and install more than 1 software package, not necessarily on maxxed out machine.

And this is just technical issues, because after them there are social ones. DFSG and Social Contract are there for a reason, because far too many times software authors had in mind something other than user's best interest (two days ago there was a thread which started with lenovo, but quickly filled with plenty of other examples).

Maybe it's a good time to remember that PC stands for Personal Computer, not App Developer's.
>I think you are confusing a market pricing mechanic which is a feature of capitalism with the core tenet of capitalism which is the existence of the private ownership of the means of production.

Well you could argue that one means nothing without the other. But anyway, what bearing does private ownership have this context? I accept I used loose words but in this context the relevant part of capitalism is its pricing mechanism. So no I'm not confusing the 2.

If I buy a piece of a company, or land or whatever the government has no hand in deciding that value. Sure government policy could impact the value but if the government didn't have anything to do with it, it would have value, if the government is deciding the value it probably isn't capitalism (yes i know there are counter examples in 'capitalist' societies) .

What is the market value of not releasing a kg of co2? Yes people will pay to have trees planted, but who's going to pay Amazon to electrify its fleet to not emit co2? A kg of not co2 is worthless under capitalism, which isn't reflective of its value. That is a failure of capitalism. The fact that we are discussing having the govt step in to correct that failure doesn't negate the failure. A carbon tax (note taxes aren't inherent to capitalism) or carbon trading scheme will be synthetic govt constructs. Sure they harness capitalism and capitalistic mechanisms to work, but capitalism can't/hasn't got there on its own.

The thing that FB is guilty of is how successful they are in monetizing.
