They missed the commentor who has nothing substantial too add too the actual conversation but managed to hone in on a piece of English semantics that needs to be endlessly nitpicked.

Well, first it will have an impact is our lifetime. It already has.
But you have a point. But the idea is not to have no future generations. It's to have smaller generations over time. Perhaps 10-50x times smaller. This would requires a few generations to happen. Even by just having one kid 10x would be achieved in three or four generations. In theory. In practise it would create a lot of economical problems as well, because the economy would shrink a lot. We are currently not prepared for that and nobody knows how to do it. On the other hand it's a moot point, the global population is actually growing and even in rich countries it's at least more or less stable.

agree and the issues with IRC are so much more basic. there isn't even a built in history. i could miss DMs directly addressed to me or an important conversation just by being offline and have no way of even knowing. a technical user could set up a bouncer, but just using discord is much easier. for any of the 95% of general non-technical communities discord hosts, IRC is a complete non-starter.
Some still have two, for a keyboard and mouse:

Latency is lower because it's interrupt-based and much simpler than the polled USB stack. IMHO if you're going to always have a keyboard and mouse connected to the computer, it makes perfect sense to keep them on the dedicated simpler interface instead of the general USB; especially when the dedicated interface will be more reliable. The industry may be partly moving away from the "legacy-free USB everything" trend that started in the 2000s, finally.

AFAIK all SuperIOs support a pair of PS/2 ports, so from a BoM perspective it's not an extra cost to the manufacturer, but they still market it as a premium feature.
It’s a bit weird to me that developers (myself included) are reluctant to pay for tools. When I first started out in the 90s, I spent significant amounts of money on developer tools: Zortech C/C++. Borland Pascal, Borland C/C++, Paradox for database work, not to mention the hundreds of dollars I spent on printed books. Now, the only things I’m spending money on are subscriptions to IntelliJ and CLion and infrequently books. I wonder how much this reluctance to spend money is holding back software development.
You can choose to ignore that information: for me it's a treasure, a message from another time.

Sometimes comments are useless crap I can deduce from the code but often I actually get some valuable information.

I won't track down a ticket containing the information unless I'm really desperate.

Unfortunately we live in an agile world and there is not a single doc worth its salt.

It's not a boat race. State-of-the-art anti-ship missiles may hit mach 5 in their terminal phase. Also a carrier that outruns its escort is an even softer target, and no other craft in a carrier group can keep up with the carrier's max speed.
It depends on the level of activity. Some of my Blinks last over 1 year, and some last a couple months.
Neither

Yes, I have a fairly good idea of how my country operates, including the understanding that fighting espionage, transnational criminal gangs, terrorism, and war get very dirty, and on all sides, including ours.

I also know at least the democracies have oversight & constraints in place that creates real constraints and corrects and punishes overreach. The fact that you and I know of some of the bad events is BECAUSE of that oversight and constraints.

I also know that the choices are to either lay down our arms and yield to the autocracies, or to continue fighting to remain a self-determining people.

You only need to look to Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Ukraine, or many other places to see the consequences of either yielding or losing that fight.

Yes, we have some abuses like Abu Grabe and soldiers & leaders were held responsible & punished. Yes, there are times where surveillance overreaches.

What we do not have (yet) is literally political parties literally using the security apparatus to blow up multiple civilian apartment blocks as a false flag to influence the election; it's how Putin came to power in Russia. We do not have a wholesale co-opting of technology and industry, complete with mobile execution vans to ensure compliance, as does the CCP.

If you cannot tell the difference, I suggest that you learn some history, or just feel free to relocate to one of those other countries.

I also wish that none of the defense or espionage apparatus was necessary. But as long as there are local bullies or expansionist authoritarians, then staying better armed and prepared will be necessary.
making someone cross a door handle boundary without a plausible opportunity to wash their poopy hands is a deal breaker to me, even if only 1/3 of people are actually bothering to really soap up
I'm not sure dumping it in the sea would be a problem. At first it seems it would have to be because it would seem to lead to ever increasing brine levels which surely cannot be good.

But I'm not sure the brine levels would actually be ever increasing.

Consider the water that we take out. Short term it goes somewhere on land to be used for some purpose humans deem useful to have land water for, but after that I'd guess that much of it eventually returns to the sea.

At some point wouldn't we reach a steady state where the rate we are taking water out to desalinate equals the rate that water from past desalination is returning?

At that point brine levels would be higher than before we started widespread desalination, but they would not longer be rising. As long as that new steady state higher brine level is not too high it might be OK.
I wonder what South Korea would become if tomorrow morning China invaded NK and SK and made them into a single country with North Koreans in charge.
It's not clear to me that there was anything to 'see though'. This makes him seem like a Machiavellian genius putting up a front. It seems entirely possible that he is exactly what he seems. Sincere but lacking the skill and wisdom to run a large financial organization.

While ignorance of the law cannot be used as a defense for breaking it, an organization such as FTX comprises a complex interaction of financial, technological and legal issues. You can easily imagine naive hands breaking multiple laws in their ignorance.

It is also possible that they did things knowingly illegal only after their lack of experience had put them into a situation where they were trying to stabilize a teetering house of cards.

Some things are hard, very hard. In some domains, being clever without being an expert doesn't work.

It is also worth mentioning that the media sources that said how great things were going are also the same ones that are telling us how badly it ended up. I say 'possible' and 'imagine' above because we can't really get a good picture of what happened from reading a few articles. There will be a few good well researched summaries in a few years time. Hardly anyone will be interested by then; besides, the truth will be boringly complicated and nuanced.

That's just poorly written drivel. The point is to not waste your time on drivel. You appear to do so just because the lexile score is high enough, with the predictable result being that your own arguments are sloppy.
For most of human history people lived in mud huts, yurts, teepees, igloos, lean-tos and the such. Generally they're all pretty small.

Discount brokerages have existed for a long time and brokerages in general even longer. I don’t know what products you think only became available via Robinhood that weren’t available through eg interactive brokers or Schwab before. That said, there was a fee to trade which made small orders more expensive and maybe Robinhood encourages people to try more risky things (eg options)?

> scamming someone requires obtaining something like money

I would say "something of value". It doesn't have to be money. Attention is valuable - personally I consider it my most scarce and valuable resource.

I don't think it's unreasonable to create a comparison between stealing people's attention and stealing people's money. We focus a lot on the latter, but we are starting to focus on the former too, usually in the form of criticizing social media.

Take Facebook. They grabbed people by creating a system to connect with friends, family etc. and created an inescapable network effect for an entire generation. Then they morphed slowly into an outrage generation private data stealing machine to the huge detriment of millions of people - entire countries in fact, like Myanmar. The money they make is one step removed from the people being scammed, which makes it a little harder to directly characterize this as a scam. But it is a scam, just as much as this crypto stuff is, only far worse.

Reporters running puff pieces to generate outrage - or rather, their publications - are doing the same. Stealing your attention to get money from advertisers. They are just less successful. Same sea, tiny biting fish where Facebook is a shark.
I have ADHD and I straight-up don't do silence. Between restless brain and tinnitus, actual silence, or anything with a noise floor below ~15dB, just doesn't sit right with me. 20-30dB is about ideal. Especially when trying to sleep. I have some sort of fan/filter in just about every room. When I'm working, I'm almost always listening to music (unless I'm way over stimulated).

It probably started when I was much younger with much worse asthma and always had a HEPA filter running in the background. Eventually this turned into basically always having some kind of fan in my primary locations. Right now I dig the Coway air filters on low or medium.

Even beyond the alleged "noise floor dopamine boost", I find some kind of background whoosh really nice for masking otherwise variable sounds, such as cars, airplanes, and the wind, which are far more distracting.

10/10 would recommend running some sort of air filter all the time. Plus, cleaner air (air pollution has all kinds of bad effects).
I did not admit to being a bad judge of character, I simply paid him little attention.

This is what the end of the video is about, and there's even a reference to an available solution.
I dislike this attitude, as far as I'm concerned it just helps perpetuate the environments that don't allow engineers to actually fix things.

It's related to the mindset I've seen that prototyping is a waste of time. Out of fear that you get trapped with it. Instead there is this expectation that you just design something close to perfection without any prior attempts.
RISC is a general category of processors (with the other main category being CISC). There have been dozens of mainstream RISC processors over the last 40 years, RISC-V is just one that happens to use RISC in the name. Kind of like Microsoft SQL Server, there have been plenty of other SQL database servers in the past but Microsoft decided to use SQL as part of the name.
The original idea for tiny homes was to avoid the mortgage rat race and retire early. An alternate solution that is almost as inexpensive but that doesn't involve living in a shoebox is a mobile home in a good old fashioned mobile home park. For seniors looking to downsize/economize their retirement a MH in a quiet senior 55+ community can solve the financial problem while still allowing them a single family home dwelling that you can park next to (unlike an apartment) and that is cheap enough to live near you grandchildren in a metro area. Senoir parks also have many community benefits for retirees. The one downside is the space rent that you have to pay to the park that is not under your control. Some parks such as Natural Bridges on the Pacific Ocean near Santa Cruz, CA have astronomical space rents ($5000+/month). Other places such as San Jose have rent control ordinances that limit increases in space rent to 3%/year. A few parks are set up where the residents own the park and so the rent they pay is to themselves and they have democratic control over any increases. In most cases space rent is comparable to property taxes in a normal single family home. Construction of new mobile homes is very adequate and at the same time affordable generally in the range of $100k-$150k. MHPs have been socially maligned but they are a great housing solution and a much better option than most people think.

> I don't doubt the sincerity of many in the EA movement

Insincerity isn't the thing to be worried about. Concentrated utilitarian thinking is itself, to use their terms, an existential risk at least if its combined with significant funding.

My favorite example is that there is a small EA faction that believes-- presumably on the basis of their golden rational analysis, totally unsullied by empirical inputs such as first hand experience-- that wild animals are suffering tremendously and the most efficient way to the reduce total suffering on earth would be to engage in bio-engineering to genocide all the wild animals.

Some greedy capitalist might pollute the earth for gains through indifference, if they speak of charity they might be insincere but mankind is capable of much much worse. Say what you want about non-utilitarian philosophies, but they aren't going to @#$@ rationalize themselves into killing all animal life on earth and sincerely think they're committing the most efficient kindness possible while doing it!

We should regard utilitarianism as an intellectual tool we can use to aid our decisions balanced against other perspectives and considerations and not a uniquely correct philosophy.
Noise is my least favorite thing. I'll live in a tiny box so long as it's quiet.

This resonates with me for some things, but there are two very unrelatable parts.

I play video games with acquaintances and friends who I've known for years. They're fulfilling in the same way a zoom chat or phone call is, and they're much better than watching alone. Video games aren't a substitute for in-person contact, but what is? Some of the malaise from games seems to come from the ephemeral nature of matchmaking, where you're not playing with or against people you know and there's no community, but this is a solvable problem.

When I'm head-down on a train staring at my phone, I'm either messaging the people I'm about to meet up with, or I'm reading a book. Conor's problem seems as much aesthetic as behavioural: he doesn't like the cold sterile white rectangle, but at a guess he'd be happier if I was holding a warm off-yellow-beige paper slab and turning the pages.

No African country has ever done a "Japan" and come even close to catching up with the West. Hell, I don't think any has even been able to catch up with middle income countries. I am starting to doubt it can even be done.

It's a bit like rolling your own macro assembler, in a way.
I think this is the case with a lot of "escapes" (tiny house, van life, moving across country/world, starting to work for yourself). Particularly when compromise is the name of the game, not having enough positive reasons to go into a situation is not going to fix the negatives.

> I think they are making a mistake that’s common in this sort of project: trying too many new things at once!

The one thing identified as “the big idea” of Unison seems to me to be conceived as a solution to a distributed computing problem that incidentally also solves a number of problems that are issues outside of distributed computing (but also within distributed computing, such that fleshing out how it can solve them enhances unison as distributed computing solutions as well as providing side benefits.)
As the ministry explains in its response, in the Dinum circular, it is clearly stated that "the deployment of Office 365 is prohibited in French administrations". The State's interministerial digital director has decided to intervene to protect the "sensitive data" held by several public officials. According to the circular published in 2021, it is written that data should no longer be hosted on Microsoft 365 cloud services, to protect it from a possible security breach or even misuse by US intelligence services.
I'm more surprised they went with a new built-in instead of making the compiler recognize something like

m = make(map[A]B, cap(m))

just like it already recognized

for k := range m {
delete(m, k)
}

and many other similar idioms.

(cap because len is not quite the same -- note, cap is not currently defined on maps)

EDIT: Likely because that's an assigment on m, not a mutation of it, so it can't be done e.g. in a function that gets m as argument.
New York Times is _still_ providing SBF cover by allowing him to speak at DealBook Summit later this month [1].

Answering your question. As far as I know you'll pay up to $2 for each Bitcoin transaction and you need two of them: when exchanging USD to BTC and when transfering your BTC to exchange.

There of course might be price fluctuations, but this is exactly the reason why stablecoins are used and not BTC / ETH.

After seeing almost every single community I frequented on IRC move to Discord and some to Matrix over the last 10 years, I just don't agree that Discord is not competing.

If you look at it by brand, Tesla is the best selling EV brand in Europe in 2022:

https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL/Brands/Year/2022

But Volkswagen, for example, owns many brands (VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Porsche, etc.) and its EV sales are split across many models.

By auto group, Volkswagen is the biggest EV maker in Europe. Tesla has gone from number 1 in 2019 to number 3 so far this year:

Why Elon Musk and Kara Swisher Are No Longer Speaking
let the innovation era begin
It is smart to wind this down. Elon says the biggest mistake engineers make is optimizing something that shouldn’t exist in the first place. AI suggested code is exactly the kind of problem that engineers would fall into this trap for. Its cool and exciting and very alluring. Lets no lose sight of the fact that most code being generated in front of a developer shouldn’t need a developer there in the first place. We should not even be sitting to code a lot of things we are tasked with doing today.
