From the launch post on Medium:

” Token flowing is where things get really interesting, but first let’s set things straight: we’re not changing the nature of open source. It’s still free. web3 has enabled novel new ways to distribute value, and with our system people who care about the health of the open source ecosystem buy some token and stake it. Periodically, we reward this staking because it is securing our token network. We give a portion of these rewards to the staker and a portion to packages of their choice along with all the dependencies of those packages.”

Sounds like the reason to buy the token is basically charity. It’s donations to open source, just dressed up in a lot of blockchain jargon.

I’m all for compensating open source developers, but why can’t this scheme work with, you know, actual money? It’s definitely possible to get people to donate to creators. My monthly Patreon bill is several hundred dollars. If a better alternative came along that meaningfully improved distribution to deserving projects, I’d be happy to give it a shot. But I’m never going to buy some crypto token for that.
As a sax player who also plays a Roland Aerophone, I have a similar question. Is the mouthpiece a real sax mouthpiece and reed? If so, that means it's making a lot of noise. One of the main appeals of windsynths is that I can play at times when the people in my household (and neighborhood) don't really want to listen to it.

That said, it's a cool project.
So weird; many upvotes, not a single comment.
My point exactly!

(My first wife. At the moment the age of consent in Russia was 14).
At the end of the day, your clients have to connect to a socket on a server somewhere. Either the server is in the cloud (ok, but who pays for that?), and your pc has a client on it that opens a tunnel from that cloud to your pc, or they have to connect to a socket on your home ip, for which you need to open a port in your router.

The only other thing that can exist, semantically, is nat hole-punching, which unless you have very good coordination with your friends can only be done through software (and also involves a server but less so).

Maybe reconsider why you can't forward ports on your router? If the server isn't listening for connections on that port it's undistinguishable from a closed port, and if it is then it is available as a game server.
Isn't the email proof of ownership. Why do they need an NFT? The owner can change the email to another one when no longer wants to manage.

NFT seeems an overkill and author drank too much crypto-aid.
Perhaps I’m morbid, or just interested in medicine, but I really appreciate when some detail about the cause of death is provided in an obituary. Not only is it a useful memento mori, but it also reflects the conscientious planning by the author.

I agree, I wish the

How does creating this NFT cause it to have value, and therefore reward the package maintainer? If the issue is that no one is putting money into the system, the solution can't be a more complicated way of ensuring that the non-existent money goes to the right person.
Still trying to duplicate what you did.
Ah yes, Java applets.
Sorry, but I don't find a science fiction book to be an inspiring argument.

Find me a below average height person who made it at the NBA or somebody, anybody, with a below average IQ who got a science Nobel prize and you'll have my attention. But if you have to rely on a pure fantasy novel to find a counter-example, it doesn't give me any confidence in your theory.
Doing some research, there was a very small period of overlap.

The ability for Napster to resume was a much later feature. You had to find someone sharing the exact same filename, and I don't think they made it easy. I can't remember if they eventually allowed multi-source downloading.

Independent Napster servers did continue to operate after the fall of Napster Inc as a service.

https://boards.straightdope.com/t/napster-but-not-all-other-...

I recall using Napigator which provided a browse of official and independent napster servers and then modified your HOSTS file so your client would connect to the independent server instead of Napster Inc servers.

I like the way the idea of a goal hierarchy as presented in Grit: one top-level goal which is the unifying theme of your foreseeable life, mid-level goals that are the different topics to help your reach your top-level goal, and the low-level goals for the day-to-day life.

For example to become a successful entrepreneur (top), you need to understand how to run a startup (mid), raise money from investors (mid), understand your users (mid), and that comes from understanding your cash flow (low), cold mailing tens of VCs (low), interview a user (low).

Deciding and committing to a top goal is the hard part in my opinion. It means to abandon the other (incompatible) goals you'd like to pursue. But focus is the best way to go forward.
Have a reasonable window of focus:

Jeremy Hunt campaigned for Remain and then pushed for a second referendum when his side lost, so it's unclear why you think his anti-Brexit stance is worth remarking on. Are you thinking of someone else, perhaps?

Re: OBR. We're talking about food price inflation. The article you cite in turn cites the OBR, but (a) contrary to what you're suggesting the OBR doesn't have seem to have done any of its own analysis and (b) it only mentions Brexit twice, once about immigration and the other is a single paragraph which isn't about food price inflation. It says:

"Our trade forecast reflects our assumption that Brexit will result in the UK’s trade intensity being 15 per cent lower in the long run than if the UK had remained in the EU"

They don't define what "long run" means and they don't state where this assumption came from. That's the quality of the OBR's in-house analysis: there isn't any. That's not a huge surprise. The civil service has a poor track record of economic forecasting in all respects, but especially on anything to do with Brexit. The government forecast before the vote that voting to leave (not leaving, just voting to leave) would trigger an immediate recession in which between 500,000 and 800,000 jobs would be lost, due to "uncertainty". In fact the economy grew and unemployment fell.

They do then mention the "latest evidence suggests a significant adverse impact on UK trade", and cite two other papers. Both are only about claimed changes in UK/EU trade, not UK trade as a whole. The first ESRI paper relies on such complicated modelling it's not worth spending time on and their abstract asserts a dubious assumption right up front. The LSE paper states:

"Second, the implementation of the TCA triggered a small and only temporary decline in relative UK exports to the EU in 2021. These sharply fell in January, immediately following the introduction of the TCA, but quickly recovered within half a year"

It does say that the UK reduced imports from the EU significantly, but this would be expected given the currency value decline and that the EU external tariffs no longer discourage UK companies from importing from outside of Europe. The UK trade balance hasn't had a sudden improvement so it just means imports are now more balanced w.r.t. ROW.
> And if so… by how much? Similarly in autistic-autistic pairings how much eye contact is required for autistic people to communicate well with each other?

As a neurotypical person, this is actually pretty interesting to me as well. I live in the US and here we are always taught to make eye contact when speaking to someone, as it shows as sign that you are "engaged" with that person. It's something so ingrained in you from a young age here that you start to think that this is how all humans should communicate.

Neurodivergent people just tend to ignore those social constructs, makes me wonder if we as neurotypical people play all these social games and a neurodivergent person just looks at all that as window dressing that isn't required.

I'm afraid you've been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread—such as by crossing into personal attack, as here.

Can you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting? Your substantive points will do just fine without name-calling or swipes. In fact, they'll do better as they will be more persuasive that way.

This is an intentional dark pattern.

Starlink goes out of its way to avoid allowing non customers interact with them. For example, dishy doesn’t ship with an ethernet jack for its router or enough hardware to actually mount it in most situations. They don’t let you even view the accessories store (or prices for the mandatory extra equipment) until after they ship the dish + router.
Right. Citizens United used those two ridiculous arguments (spending is speech, corporations should have rights intended for individuals) to allow corporations to ignore corporate campaign contribution limits.

It's not just a practical problem; it's one of the most important philosophical problems in the area, too.

Something like GPT-3 can do multi-digit arithmetic much better than chance, giving results for values it was certainly never trained on. Similarly, transfer learning, where you start training a model on some input less related to the task, and then switch to inputs closer to your task at the end, can substantially reduce total training time. The task can be radically different; to use GPT-3 as an example again, compared to starting with a completely randomized model, it reduces training by a factor of about 10x to go from PCM audio samples encoded as text patterns, or abstract art bitmaps encoded as text patterns, to English text. GPT-3 is learning something about arithmetic. It's learning something that is common to music, abstract art, and English text. It might be as simple as basic patterns from geometry and arithmetic (that's my guess). But no one could even begin to point you in the direction of what that structure it is teasing out really is.
good shout - I'm not so up to speed with what AVX512 can accelerate, but is it such a distinctive feature that it warrants a full delineating model number?

Well, it's pretty simple, it comes down to values. Musk is a man who has done more to advance technology than anybody else I can think of who's alive today. Especially SpaceX - I loved space as a kid, was extremely disappointed and disillusioned with the cancelling of the Constellation program, and now almost entirely due to Musk I am now once again filled with wonder and hope for humanity's future space exploration. And that's to say nothing of his other companies.

So I have a ton of respect and admiration for Musk due to his contributions to humanity, and that far outweighs whatever negative feelings I may have towards him for being a buffoon, or a bad boss, or republican or whatever it is.

It's because I value technology and science very highly. I've been obsessed with this stuff since my childhood. It's pretty clear that other people do not share the same values, which is fine.

As a software engineer I can't really contribute much to SpaceX. But if Musk is able to similarly move the ball forward at a software-only company like Twitter, and come up with innovative technological advancements, then I'm certain that I would regret not being part of that. My current cushy tech job is fine but I'm not moving the ball forward technologically in any way. So you could think of it as chasing a lifelong dream. And if it doesn't work out, that's fine. But first they need to start hiring again :\
In a year or two, when that notebook has been filled and replaced with newer notebooks, make some time to go back and reread. It is wild sometimes, re-reading things I forgot I know/knew. Pretty sure this helps for recall, even if not, it is still nostalgically entertaining.

Edit: swapped 'enlightening' for 'entertaining'. Admittedly, could be both.
I agree.

At the same time, I can see this as being a useful tool for saving lives.

It's funny I'm seeing this actually. I'm actually on kratom right now, I bought some earlier today. I didn't really want to, I don't want to be on kratom because it's opiod like and expensive and can cause dependence. But I was getting so down that I was seriously worried I was going to kill myself, so I took it as an antidepressant.

I suffer from treatment resistant depression. Part of it is genetic (depression runs in my family) and I'm sure a lot of it is environmental (being minor attracted in our current society fills me with feelings of self-loathing and worthlessness) After trying a bunch of different SSRIs and SNRIs, I finally found a treatment that worked: Ketamine. I went to a clinic and got infusions, then was given take-home troches. It was amazing. Every time I started to get depressed (every few weeks), I would take a troche and abort that cycle of depression. My friends couldn't believe it. That combined with self-practiced CBT has really helped.

However I recently moved and no clinic in my area will offer prescription ketamine due to concerns about abuse. Okay, whatever...I could go in and get infusions. But every infusion costs ~$500 per session. Ketamine is prescribed off-label for depression, so insurance does not cover it. That's because nobody has funded the clinical trials necessary for the FDA to approve ketamine for depression. Despite the fact that everybody knows it's one of the best treatments for depression, it's generic, so drug companies have no profit incentive. There's esketmaine, but I've heard mixed reviews and popular opinion seems to point that it isn't nearly as effective.

I wonder how many millions and millions of people, including people who are using opiods as an antidepressant, would benefit if some group (maybe the government) would just pay to get ketamine on-label for depression, and thus covered by insurance. I feel like that would do more to lower opioid abuse than a million high school DARE presentations...
German here, can confirm, basically nobody has a credit card, and all the big online services take non-credit payment now.
C quirks. This is interesting.
I have used some of the tricks myself, #1,#2,#4,#5.

#2 and #5 can be combined to make and interesting hack. When combinded with memcpy you can do

int *a = memcpy(&(int){0}, b, sizeof *b);

C23 typeof makes this even more interesting

If you what an challenge here is a standard compliant c code. Try to undestand it. If can understand you are a master of c's type system

> But to declare these things as hard, clear facts is not correct.

Given the scientific evidence from fMRI, and post-partum biopsies of their brain, those things are very much real. They do not misinterpret reality.

Schizophrenic people do misinterpret reality, whereas transsexuals do not. Had transsexuals misinterpreted reality, they would not experience GID or Gender Dysphoria, nor would reality ie their sex, be a stressor.

> We should be very clear about the results of transitioning.

People are very clear about the results and consequences of transitioning, people don't do it on a whim, and fyi, transitioning is a very long and arduous process. It does not happen over a day; over a week; a month; or even a single year. The person chooses to walk that path every single day, and at least in Europe, they are well aware of both the consequences and the results.

> It does not result in female anatomy by an regular definition. It is a physical stake that imitates the <female/male> anatomy, very superficially, with long term health consequences and perpetual maintenance

Nobody is claiming it provides the person with a uterus, ovaries, or - if the person has transitioned into adulthood - skeletal structure.

On the other hand, it has very real changes; from brain region activations, taste, muscle tissue change, skin change, and a lot more. To claim that it does nothing would imply that it is needless, had it been needless, people wouldn't be fighting for better coverage, wouldn't ask for treatment, and on and on.

> I suspect that this terminal state does not achieve the goals of trans folks,

Sorry but at this point you are imposing your beliefs to argue for the experiences of other people, millions of them who contradict yours. At this point, it is good to listen carefully with the intent to learn over claiming what you believe is the truth.

> is likely a major source of the ongoing emotional disturbance so commonly observed.

Transition is a source of emotional disturbance when the person is not accepted, in fact, discrimination in workplace, housing, along with overall lack of acceptance from the broader society is the main source of stress and the main cause of detransition.

In-fact, people who transition early pass significantly easier, have the same outcomes as cis people, and get to live a happy life, in fact over 98% of people who transition early do not detransition. That's a big super-majority.

I recommend spending more time with actual trans people and being more empathetic towards people whose shoes you can not walk in.
> I built a lighting system for <hotel chain you've heard of>

I am sick and tired of how often extremely pertinent information has to be neutered in this way. And I am utterly disgusted at how the legal system is used to protect scummy corporations like this unnamed hotel chain.

I wish we had strong laws that prevented employers from even thinking about threatening employees for talking about their work. Or collective bargaining to make sure employers don't have the leverage to impose such one-sided contracts.

It seems illogical to like a company and to dislike the person who was in charge for the last 15 years. It is like someone eating a McDonald's hamburger talking about how much they hate factory farming. It is possible to like McDonalds and also dislike factory meat farming, but kind of strange, because McDonalds only exists because they have cheap food. And they only have cheap food because of factory meat farming.

Tesla only exists because of the way it was managed over the past 15 years. It would be cool if there was a successful EV company run by someone that was super nice to everyone all the time and let employees work whatever hours they want, but in the real world that doesn't exist. So in the real world we have to make trade-offs. Do we want to transition to electric vehicles? If so what is the best way to actually do that?
I love Chuck Moore's minimalism applied to programming. [^1][^2] It goes hand in hand with the UNIX philosophy of keeping things simple that we can see in other software (linux) or languages (LISP, Go, Erlang )...

Right? This is even worse because now instead of people getting paid directly they get some crypto coing which may or may not have value, and if you can sell the tokens then people are going to buy in with the expectation to be able to sel it back, which means that the token has to perform, which it can't, as is the case for all crypto.

Personal emissions are framed as a moral issue by environmental activists. Those allied with the activists are perceived to be outsized users of air travel. And most air travel is non-essential.

Amongst users of air travel, it is a significant source of emissions. A single round-trip across an ocean is on the same magnitude as driving emissions for the average american.

The hypocrisy is obvious. Morality and personal responsibility are a terrible foundation for environmentalism.
This seems really silly.

A better system would be for a service like Flathub to support bitcoin Lightning payments direct to app developers.
