The idea that an individual nation observes someone has accidentally shifted an asteroid to hit their nation, exactly, seems incalculably unlikely.
And honestly history has mostly vindicated him.
The problem in reality is that people have wildly different amounts of disposable income and that there are more and less important uses.

Rich people use drastically more resources. If you want to curb their resource usage with price you would need to increase prices so much that poor people can’t afford the resource anymore.

E.g. you want to stop people watering lawns during drought, so you make water so expensive that rich people cannot afford it anymore, but then poor people cannot afford to wash hands, shower or flush the toilet anymore.

One solution is to have the first x units of the resource cheaper, similar to progressive taxation.
The "new supply" happens naturally as banks create money in exchange for collateral. [1]

Inflation happens when banks create money with no collateral, which is our fiat money system.

[1] Contracting supply happens when the loans are paid off.
>Now, when the source material is someone else's property this means that without - someone else's property - you would have had no output.

Exactly the same happens with artists. The only artists who can claim not to have been influenced by seeing the work of other artists lived tens of thousands of years ago. So what makes it okay to process artwork via some processes but not others, when the ultimate output may in some way copy the input anyway?
I'm beginning to suspect that we will not see a federated protocol as successful as e-mail in my lifetime. I would, in fact, be only mildly surprised to see e-mail become much less federated than it is today (which is much less federated than it was 20 years ago).

Spam (and other bad actors) is one huge, and obvious, reason why; it's led to a significant consolidation in e-mail as well; SMTP delivery is hit-or-miss these days, and you can get ahold of a person to fix it only if you are "big enough"

The web plays a big part in this too. You can continuously deliver a client that updates its protocol in lock-step with the backend. This makes alternative clients something hard to do, and if you can't separate the client from the service, then it significantly increases the friction to change. Eudora didn't care which e-mail server it connected to, and you could take Eudora with you when you got a new ISP and lost your old e-mail address.

How much of my monthly fees to fastmail is spent on delivering e-mail, and how much of it is "keeping up with the gmail webclient"? I suspect it's more on the latter than the former.
It's a perfect example of a legal linguistic phrase that causes a PARSE ERROR REDO FROM START.
I'd say the purpose of a nation is to manage resources, which are often natural resources.

Some locales have deeds for land have time limits; you don't own the land, you have been granted rights to it.

Sometimes the FAA will limit airspace usage for private property, for instance restricting airspace around stadiums during sporting events.

You're right that a corporation can't unilaterally declare the airspace over their land their headquarters sits on as a no-fly zone. But the government may still work with them on policy.
Isn't such a code of conduct generally implied? And isn't it more generous to wait until it is broken to bring it up?

Also, the rules are not so general or unambiguous as you've described them here. They mention speech patterns and topics that are highly loaded on contemporary politics.
I imagined one time a system a bit like a chat protocol where parties exchange many messages over a long time where the geolocation, the computer and the application are parties too. The parties each have many different kinds of credentials, one for each purpose. It would start with requesting verification for the application, it can ask step/level 1 from any party, device or application with sufficient authentication for level 1 verification of applications. (The fridge can reject the task if it doesn't feel like participating.) Level 2 is done after a few hours at a party that can do level 2 verification. The toaster like the fridge may forward the request to a different party with sufficient trust level to record, process and forward the auth request (if it feels like it) The initial party is kept in the dark on how wide spread their app auth request has been processed. Processing auth requests that enjoyed some further validation also gradually improves the trust level of the processing party. Countless handshakes take place over many years with countless other parties of increasing trust that may or may not preserve the exchange and/or geolocation. Eventually the sum of the computer, app and user credentials allows the generation of a qr code or a link that expires after 5 min or single use, which ever comes first but it will grow towards 7 days and 100 uses at security level 1. So the local pub has some potentially off-line semi-usable hand shakes from a machine/app/user combination and it previously validated a few of them including an "over 21" with a car in the neighborhood and a vending machine. Those can confirm the toaster indeed forwarded an auth request to them. Neither party needs internet, everything just works. Persecution may start long before you get to buy booze or rent a bicycle or it will catch up with you eventually. Post apocalyptic/countryside offline mode may be taken away from you.
DF is the most successful roguelike by far. It draws in over a hundred thousand US dollars a year. You are never going to make something as complex as DF "take off" and sell millions as it's a niche topic by design.

Most of the people interested in the Steam release are going to very quickly realize that the complexity and difficulty to learn isn't just in the UI and will probably give up on the game. Which I hope will not damage its reputation.

Those are the side-by-side examples to show the raw file latitude.
The latter. Try following western China reporters for a while. You'll notice that a lot of them are only interested in pushing non-stories that portray China negatively, rather than reporting facts.

For example a couple weeks ago they made a huge amiunt of noise about Xi being couped. After Xi showed up they simply dropped that narrative and moved on to the next hysteric story.

I've been following various journalists for years and journalistic quality seems to decline rather than increase.
But that pay includes room and board (I think? Hope? I assume you don't have to bring your own boat) but it's also darn close to some of the McDonald's ads I've seen.

I think the real kicker is there is/was a group of people who would do 6 months on the boat, 6 on shore and were happy with that setup, but now they can only do on the boat or just give up and go work on land.
> The device is mine. I paid for it. I should be able to do whatever I want with it.

You are absolutely right, of course. It just doesn't mean Microsoft should help you run whatever you want on it.
What kind of user services and "portable services" are you managing? I have trouble imagining what that means. User pulseaudio daemon on your laptop/desktop? Or some server services for many clients?
I think you underestimate the exponential scale of what's happening and how the training data can make and dictate digital worlds to then use to train itself again to then be directed and prompted by humans again and then rinse repeat except we also train an AI to be the human who directs and prompts but throw in a random seed but also still take in some human interaction and use that to build whole visual worlds. Flat or in Unreal Nanite 3D. Characters and places. Normal light and light we haven't seen... Train again. Use the previous human AI but now the human prompts create a set of human AIs to feed back into that and then that is put out into a space to make a set of paintings as controls that are painted by robots and those are scanned in intense detail by cameras that also pick up near IR and UV and those are used as a training set to seed the new environments which is then told to make me an episode of Duckman from a half remembered drunk memory voice memo and the output is better than the original show probably ever was.

Then turn that AI loose and let the internet use it to make Duckman episodes but people figure out how to tweak the prompts to make Toy Story at scale but also use it to train their own AIs.

We have reliable secure GPU multi tenancy now. Next year we'll start seeing AI designed silicon photonics creeping in. All this GPU training is now pretty accessible to be passed all over the internet and back securely and streaming.

No one has any clue what's coming in a very short few months. Well, we have a few ideas... but it's going to be surprising. These systems build systems to build more systems there and back again. The only constraint being energy availability and attention.

The powers that be captured all of human experience for a couple decades to seed this project. So off we go I guess! This moves so much faster than copyright law. This is our new world. The compression of information contained inside of models is something that existing bureaucratic systems cannot hope to regulate. I'm pretty sure no one that can is even slightly interested in regulating it anyway.

Our new way of life is gonna be pretty weird. I think some fun new media will come out of it though. Which is pretty cool. Also you know... Utopia or Oblivion.
Yeah as other commenters have pointed out, it’s night and day (no pun) between dark shots on DSLRs and phones.
What would happen if you fell through a hole to the center of the Earth?
It would be interesting to see some concrete examples of what is claimed in "Once parity is reached, China cuts collaboration agreements and keeps further advancements within China."

Whenever I search recent research articles about any topic, I see a very large number that are published by China, and which are freely available.

The quality of the Chinese research is quite uneven, there are many papers that are just garbage, but there are also many which are surprisingly creative and original, exploring promising alternatives to those that had already been studied by Western research.

I frequently see statements from naive Americans that all that the Chinese do is based on copying, but unfortunately for USA, that was true only in the past and it is no longer true today.
He is quoting a meme :)
With the amount of power the copyright lobby has, who knows it might be true. However advertising is not the only industry where visual arts will be affected. Gaming, Comics, Animation, VR, Movies etc will be affected as well. And regulation isn't going to keep up across all the countries.

Even if we assume the above rule is made, there is no way to prove it because even if a human does it, he might still use the help of photoshop etc which are planning to integrate such tools currently. Most favorable outcome I see out of this is for famous/competent artists to license out their style of art to these generation companies which then train their models on them (which sounds win-win but won't be as profitable as it is today)
I didn't see the install.py script in the repo. Would be a good idea to include it.

What was much more interesting to me is how this tool hooks into the shell to record commands. This can be found here: https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory/tree/master/client/lib/...
Something something AI Machine Learning. That’s all FB has in its future IMO…
It was riveting! To be controlling something on the TV like that. Even so, in the arcade setting, the whole idea of sitting down across from an opponent, tossing a quarter in there, and duking it out on a field of glowing phosphors... out of this world! There was no experience like it anywhere!
There is already 3D model AI generation, though it still needs some work. But as they say "2 more papers down the line..."

Contracts and deals are subordinate to the laws of the country in which we'd like them to be enforced. It's not like a company goes to China and expects tight IP laws.

And hey, our (American) IP laws were a lot less strict when we were catching up to the British Empire.

Countries generally try to set their laws up to benefit their industries (to the extent possible).

Just to confirm the numbers myself;

18,300kg methane per hour * 24 hours * 365 days = 160,308,000kg (~0.160 million metric tonnes).
At 25x CO2 equivalent, that is 4,007,700,000kg (4 million metric tonnes).

This link about US electricity generation: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=74&t=11
shows 767 "million metric tons" from coal, or 1.55 "billion metric tons" from all sources.

4 / 767 ~= 0.5%, so in the ballpark of the parent comment.
Also possibly the second link is ton (~1016kg) vs tonne (1000kg), further tweaking the numbers.

And just about the Permian basin, Wikipedia says it "accounts for 20% of US crude oil production and 7% of US dry natural gas production" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian_Basin_(North_America)#...
So if all sites like this were measured, it might be more like 2.5% coal-use-equivalent?
Most of the US population is too fat, too criminal, too sick, too dumb, or too drugged out for the military. "Only 23% of Americans aged 17 to 24 are eligible to join without being granted a waiver."

Waiving some of the rejection requirements doesn't help. Most of those enlisted below standards don't make it past the first year.

The U.S. Army is trying a 90-day pre boot camp training program.[1] There are two tracks, one for the fat ones, and one for the uneducated ones. The educational track focuses on word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, and arithmetic reasoning. Enough practical literacy to follow the simpler Army field manuals. The fat track has the troops on this track losing 1 to 2% body fat per month. Those who can't meet the minimal standards for enlistment in 90 days are released.

Seattle succeeds because it's the same time zone and Cali, Microsoft pulled tens of thousands of programmers here, then Amazon, now we have critical mass. What we don't have is nearly as many companies starting up here. I think noncompetes do actually reduce the number of new companies started in Seattle, and also reduce people switching jobs.

> Yes it's pushed by those people, but does inflation really benefit them?

The inflation is a side effect of the benefit they get by printing money to spend. In effect, the value that others see as inflation is the value the printer gets by printing it.

Counterfeiting works the same way.

Inflation benefits people who have borrowed money at fixed rates. Owning assets does not inure one against inflation, because one gets to pay capital gains tax on the inflated value of the asset. (Another reason the government loves inflation, as we get to pay taxes on illusory "capital gains".)

This is why the government tries so hard to blame inflation on Putin, greedy corporations, supply chain disruptions, anything but the real cause. It always does this, remember Gerald Ford with his WIN buttons (Whip Inflation Now), where he pushed the complete nonsense that inflation could be stopped if merchants would just stop raising prices?
ruby, ouch
I wonder what percentage of comments are motivated by a previous perception of Elon. "Blue checkmarks for $8/month is a bad idea..." (because user dislikes Elon), or "This is Genius! He's already fixing twitter! (user is a fan).
Yes I do know who Steven King is. Even famous authors need to spend a lot of money on advertising when they publish a new book, and twitter certainly helps here.

Also, HN has a rule against asking people whether they've read the article. Asking people whether they know who some famous person is, is obnoxious in the same way.
You just took one angle. I find it unfair that Facebook is banned by China while China can deploy TikTok in the US market, for example, to demonstrate the opposite.
That’s because the professionals do all this “computational photography” on a laptop or something.
That way they get to have a little more creative input into it too.
There’s like a billion desktop apps to get any sort of processing you want done on a shot.

DSLRs aren’t good if you want “point and click,” and that’s okay.
Is the bot spam a problem to any average Twitter user like Elon claims, or just him (one of the most followed account in the app) and maybe couple others?
That’s not actually when inflation happens. Every dollar in the fiat system is fully collateralized by the obligation to repay the debt that created it and the social infrastructure (courts, etc) which enforces that.

The first part is correct but only part of the story. Demand for loans and repayment is controlled by interest rate which is how central banks control the supply and hence inflation.
As if that were ever the point.

It's like charging actors to act, or charging writers to write.

Without people like King, twitter has no chance of surviving long-term. It does nothing special. It was simply in the right place at the right time.
I didn't investigate how to run the backend server (is its address configurable?) but if it can be self hosted it could be run locally. The advantage is that VMs and maybe even containers can send their history to the local server.

If it can't be self hosted, despite end to end encryption it's a big no no for me.

Edit. I read the code

func getServerHostname() string {
if server := os.Getenv("HISHTORY_SERVER"); server != "" {
return server
}
return "https://api.hishtory.dev"
}
It wasn't clear that it was just a joke.

If it were a one-off, that might be different, but you've been posting tons of unsubstantive comments. That's not what this site is for.
As someone who really understands the feeling of frustration caused by unfair censorship - I'd like to point out that Daniel, the HN admin, is a very chill and understanding dude.

I'm sure if you contact him at hn@ycombinator.com and ask politely, you'll either get un-shadowbanned or a very good explanation of why not. He's a person, like you or me, not a personification of megacorps.

The only thing to keep in mind about Zsh parameter expansion is that unquoted empty values will be dropped entirely, while quoted empty values will be treated like the empty string '':

show_nargs() { print $# }

q=
show_nargs $q # 0
show_nargs "$q" # 1

So it doesn't completely solve the need for defensive quoting, but at least it mitigates the need for the most part.
Ugh. The use cases listed. Sounds like a perfect match for the Chinese government.
Probably IP geolocation? Try on Safari with the privacy vpn-like thing?
Seemed almost reasonable until that point. That said, they probably make just a little over $8/user/no in ads or US people, I'd guess.

1 book a week is a little rough. But meh. These guys tear library books up and clog the toilets with them.

And I didn't mean TV in the room - Often, there is a TV outside that you have view of in AggSeg pods (speaking from 2 facilities I have been to). They do this because AggSeg characters like to throw fits and shout and kick their doors and generally make the place sound like a zoo. When there is a TV most people can see, they are calmer and tell each other to be quiet so they can watch. It's not that "solitary", inmates can hear each other and usually approach each other's doors to chat on individual free times, depending on the facility. A lot of AggSeg guys just harass and threaten each other whenever they can.

Of course, there is usually some loss of privilege in AggSeg - he could probably have a TV in his room in genpop if he had the funds. Usually not true in AggSeg. Also he may or may not have had Cantine. In my experience they allow it, if you are not on restriction for whatever offenses you committed to land yourself in AggSeg.

Other than that it's just whining. AggSeg is disciplinary (in addition to being about segregating violent people for the safety of genpop). Grievance forms are usually one of the only things these folks can figure out as an activity.
Why is systemd developers preventing sysadmins/developers from something they want to do on their own/assigned machines a "good default"?

Ah yes, forgotten fish sticks - a common occurrence we can all relate to as a metaphor for questionable code.
A lot of post processing that modern phones are doing isn't really practical though in post. For super low light shots for example, the iPhone will take hundreds of exposures and merge them. If you were going to save this all as RAW, it's multiple gigabytes of data per frame.
I hate to tell you this, but I can and have driven a tractor to Walmart. They’re legal on the road here in most cases - they don’t even require registration, just a red triangle do denote it as a slow-moving vehicle.
