If anybody is dealing with procrastination watch George Hotz live streaming 10h straight working on this library [1][2]. Does he take some supplements to do this? There is even 19.5h stream [3].

Actually I have local obs setup to record myself, just instead of streaming I do recordings for my own inspection. Important part is to do the inspection after. It works wonders.

One confounding factor is who replies to the national crime victims survey, and how that changes over time. We've seen election polling slowly detach from election results, it would be interesting to see an analysis of the cohort of poll respondents and the response rates by demographics.

I have steadily become convinced that we should make a multi-billion year backup of all of humanity's knowledge. All of it.

Something that,

- is resilient (can survive a nuclear explosion)

- requires no power

- doesn't require software to read/reboot from

- (theoretically) lasts for at least 1 billion years

Copying from the Long Now Foundation's projects, I think we can achieve these goals by miniaturizing pages and etching them on some metallic surface (a titanium alloy), depositing a layer of some resilient transparent material onto this surface, and creating multiple copies.

A few copies for Earth. 2 or 3 for the Moon. And a few sent out of the solar system on probes like Voyager.

Voyager itself is a great example of what we could achieve. The golden records were made out of stable, inert materials and Voyager’s trajectory doesn’t intersect with any known object for billions of years. The records themselves will be intact for at least two billion years according to one estimate. They are, for all intents and purposes, functionally immortal parcels of information.

https://www.space.com/predicting-voyager-golden-records-dist...

Some simple math, if the pages could fit inside of a 10mm x 10mm square, then for a plate that's about the size of an average coffee table at 2' x 4', we could fit 7,432 pages.

Assuming that we have 50 billion pages, we'd need about 6.7 million such plates to fit all of human knowledge, so far.

It sounds crazy, but assuming we could get net costs per plate down to $500, each copy would be about $35M. Or, ~0.14% of an Uber. Alternatively, 0.002% of the F-35 program.

That's doable!

-

6.7 million plates will probably weigh a lot. So off-world copies might need to use an alternative encoding scheme.

Another problem is likely to be organization of the plates/copies. The hardest part might be putting it all together in a way that can be trivially decoded by human descendants, even if they don't speak our language or share our subspecies.

why compile for a dead market. F'n hell no. I will tinker with this thing nonetheless, just for the fun of it and to learn something. FreeBSD(or was it OpenBSD?) already boots on this thing, which should make writing up a device tree not impossible.

Information technology companies have a lot of information you say? And I guess you mean a long time ago measured in months. These are soap operas to hook a million or so like-minded people, not real news. Certainly not going to change the minds they want to change.

Generally I think that's a problem with modern society, everyone thinks the biggest "problem" that needs fixing is each other and wastes their "civic improvement" energy on fighting to change rules back and forth. Step away from it all for 6 months and it will look small and childish.
Not that limited. People like LaRouche managed.

Yeah that's why I think pw managers will be central to this story. Apple will try though, and they might have an edge and push the initial adoption, but eventually they'll come around. Their hubris usually calms down when their lock-in plans go further than they can handle.

If you use Twitter long enough you'll find that some people you thought were interesting will either take an interest in a new topic ("yeah, I liked your discussions of music, but I actually don't ever wish to hear your political opinions") or just have some kind of epiphany that alienates you from them.
Authorizing funding is the responsibility of the legislative branch. Wouldn't the agencies, which are executive, need to follow the prescription of congress on use of funds to investigate?
Well, then a lawyer for the class of fired people will tell a court "this was really a layoff" and the lawyer for Twitter will say "no, it's a coincidence". 1 lawsuit later, money changes hands or doesn't.
Yeah no that would not actually solve the problem.
Arend Programming Language
Isn't it similar to what happens in other languages?

In example, in C++ std::maps are implemented as RB trees, are::vectors instantiate 50% (sometimes 100%) more memory than requested, etc. All of that happens under the bonnet in order to fulfill the performance guarantees of the language.

> The only reason that seems far right to you is that the Overton window has radically shifted.

You mean rightwards, right? Otherwise we don’t live in the same reality. Even Labour is tame compared to what it was 30 years ago.

> Not being beholden to the EU and controlling your borders was perfectly normal 30 years ago.

The problem with Brexit is not the control of the borders, it’s the whole nationalist bullshit that goes with it (and the fact that it’s completely unrealistic). 40 years ago Thatcher was commuting the country to thriving in the single market. And she was as right wing as it comes, and the political mainstream of the day. 30 years ago it was Major.

> Hell, the whole “not letting anyone in just because they claim to be a refugee” aspect was normal in Europe…10 years ago?

No, not really. If you are British, your perspective might be a bit skewed, but there were discussions about refugees waves regularly after the Viêt Nam war or the Armenian genocide, for example, certainly no consensus to deport them to a third world country. The only example of fortified borders in Europe from that era was the iron curtain.
No, but I remember the ill fated distribution.
App is working for me ok.
We decided to go with email passcodes as fallback method because of the limitations we identified with magic links. The biggest issue was the inability to sign in on devices where the users don’t have access to their email account to click the link.

With that being said, we (or someone else) may reintroduce magic links as another login alternative of Hanko though, because we also think that it is a better UX to click a link than to type a code.

In any case, our take is that the importance of the fallback auth method will diminish over time due to the omnipresence of passkey support.
There are people on the far-left that say the same thing. Everyone with unhinged extremist views feels this way. That feeling by itself isn't data in support of the claim.

I don’t have the numbers, but at least for Iridium the data service is basically an afterthought. They allocated so much of their bandwidth to voice (using older insufficient voice codecs no less) and are now essentially locked in to a suboptimal bandwidth allocation. They must didn’t realise the importance of data when originally designing their hardware. And hardware in space is expensive to change.

What client do you use? I switched to iCloud and started using the Apple Mail app for its integration with Hidden Email Addresses, but the app is totally half baked with tons to weird behaviours (ex. Send an email. A week later no response, click reply on the email and now you are emailing yourself. Ok, so click Reply-all and now you need to delete yourself and move the original recipient to the To line. No one-click way to start a follow up email!)
> "you need to be properly verified (as an actual person) before being allowed to post"

What method are you planning to use to determine whether a person is "actual" or not?

(Also you talk about going "from blobs of text to more structured data", but is the plan to allow keyword searching for common interests, and allow filtering out profiles based on attributes you are not compatible with, once this structured data is available? I can imagine the UX being quite frustrating for, say, someone who only wants to date a vegan, if they end up having to read thousands of words from dozens of people before finding that keyword. At that point it would make more sense to write a browser extension that automates the "Ctrl-F" and "swipe left" steps until it finds a relevant profile.)

>It is also my experience that some people completely destroy their books. I don't know how it happens. I don't think of myself as careful with books. I shove them in backpacks, insert random objects to remember my place, take them outdoors, etc. Yet somehow, the books look much the same afterwards.

Yep, this is me too, and with everything else I own too. I don't treat them like museum objects, but they generally look very good even after lots of use.

Some people just can't do this. Honestly, I don't know why. It's just how they are. Maybe they don't have an intuitive sense of how much force is really needed to handle things, and they use far too much? Much like a small child. I'm not sure. Hence my use of the term in another post, "clumsy oaf".

You can see this with some people's cars too. You get in a normal person's car that's a few years old, and it looks fine, though maybe the seating surfaces are obviously not brand-new and it's not perfectly clean. But you get in one of these oaf's cars, and even after a year, it's completely destroyed inside and the interior looks like it's decades old.
Well PRQL sits on top of SQL so building a good SQL interface is the first step to supporting PRQL at this point.

Using Amazon as a way to donate to authors when it takes 70% of the cut (authors get less for physical books) and delivers an inferior service to zlibrary is absurd. That’s not morality, that’s servitude. At least PayPal only takes a few percent.

If you feel bad about privacy, pay a random author half the Amazon price of your library and you’ll be a better person than somebody who meekishly shovels Bezos a ton of money in misguided morality. One that makes reading an exclusive right of the wealthy.

Fair enough, i probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. If its your own book (and not a rare book), by all means do whatever you want with it.
Statistics don't exactly line up with that idea. Strangers don't cause problems as much as people like to believe. Men in general have gotten a lot softer while women are the ones pulling more weight on this security.

The people causing problems are generally people you already know, or people with existing relationships. The problem is largely hearsay and doesn't line up with the behavior people exhibit (if stranger danger is so big why use dating apps at all).
Wouldn’t call that obvious - a whole host of reasons exists as to why one wouldn’t rejoin a company that just fired them, many not related to money.

I just wanted to say I love the way you packaged this feedback. Amazing.
I've travelled on a few luxury multi-day train trips* and also lived for months out of a bus, camping in forests, etc. Both have felt very safe to me. People are unnecessarily paranoid about camping in forests! The best aspect of the train trips are catered food/drink, not having to drive and otherwise sitting in your cabin with a book. Obviously you don't have the flexibility of stopping, backtracking or deviating as you wish. The luxury train trips I linked below have excursions via bus to the scenic highlights.

Reading a book in your train cabin or the bar/lounge is nice enough, but so is parking somewhere with a view and the windows open, and lazing around on the bed/couch in your bus/van. e.g., we recently free-camped on the rim of a canyon: https://www.instagram.com/p/CkSY_0IODqd/

The best option IMO is a mid-scale (100pax) expedition cruise like this: https://coralexpeditions.com/au/destinations/the-kimberley/k... You get a larger room, amazing changing scenery often from a private balcony, superior expeditions, catered meals, science lectures, etc. It is superb, if you can justify paying the $1k/night - similar pricepoint to the rail trips.

It is amazing how software engineers and AI researchers are automating themselves out of their jobs. Sure, it is all good if the revenue generated from automation is used for the good of all people, and if the AIs are aligned/ friendly. But looking at current indications, none of that is going to happen.
That's great of you to buy the book as well, major kudos. I would bet most are not as altruistic as you.

Do not traditional libraries and their ebook lending systems, however inconvenient, provide the same service? All one needs to do is be patient until the book you are interested in becomes available. In the meantime, maybe you can check out a different book that is available that you might not have discovered otherwise!
Explicability is a big part of it It is often worth being a percent less accurat but having an explainable result.
So now there is a university with Software Engineering degree certified by the country's Engineering organisation, and the respective professional titles exams for robots?

That's progress.
I suppose then we would need systems to verify that your payment is going to the intended recipient. Sure, that can be spoofed non-trivially too, but I'm sure it's possible to make it good enough without being perfect.
That's not my experience, but I mostly only subscribe and read smaller subreddits many of which I have found quite interesting and helpful.
