While I liked the show, given the basic level of the explanations of ethics systems as well as the caricature portrayal the philosopher, I find it hard to believe their book is an exceptional option for learning more.
The amount of misinformation in this thread is staggering.
Do people ever think that these AIs can model economics processes in so much detail that they don't even need the concept of money. Just directly go and procure the materials needed, do whatever necessary resource allocations required. Money is a concept for humans to transact, a proxy for resources. But if all the planning is done by AI, do we even need money.
That source would be from the bp statistical review of world energy, a widely quoted and surprisingly impartial collection of energy statistics. Charts and stats from that annual publication turn up all over the place. Disappointly, they're going to stop publishing it from next year.
At first I was going to say "there are too many good ones and I can't pick out a favourite." But then I looked at the list and there is one clear favourite among many very good ones: Performance Modeling and Design of Computer Systems.

Queueing theory is probably one of the most useful subjects of all time, for just about any human. This book teaches it in a way that made it extremely easy for me to grok.
Thanks for sharing. I'll take another look at Streaks. While it sounds like Streaks is ticking the boxes for you, the first few weeks may still be a honeymoon period of sorts in terms of motivation (there's app novelty involved). Price is also a good initial motivator (hey, I just paid for this app). Of course, neither of these could be affecting you. I'd love to hear how you get on after a few months when any novelty may have worn off and look at the app in terms of pure effectiveness in accommplishing your habit goals.

The article you reference, while an interesting memoir read, does not contradict the statement you disagree with and quote above. Pascual Jordan was a literal Nazi. This is undisputed. His ideology preceded his joining of the Nazi party, which was not opportunistic at all, but deliberate.

Me neither, though it's a great exercise for learning a new language. I'm planning to do it in Haskell some time next year, but certainly not now, as the end-of-year period is already stressful enough.
You can still use phone to do everything for convenience, but carry stuff as a backup.
Of all the examples, this is honestly the least impressive because the "Solved AoC 2022" answer is just extrapolated from the previous prompt. Your language largely shares syntax with Python, making the job easier.

Interpreting code on unknown input isn't in its current power. I'm guessing with a good prompt you could get there. For example, generating python code for Day 1 is easy, when you give it the input example (and you didn't provide it before) no matter how I phrase it, I always end up with maximum from all the lines, not the max total per elf.
I disagree that the main question is: "do multiple stores benefit the user?". The main question is: "Should the user have the choice in their stores?". Apple believes that their users should not have that choice, and Google used that to drive adoption with Android by making it more open. AS Google gained the market share and power, they locked down Android more and more to gain those monopoly-level profits. Based on data that was released as part of Oracle v. Google, it looks like they have over 40% profit margins. Plus notice how Google just cut their fee in half (30% to 15%). That means they were rolling in cash.

Tell HN: I can no longer support Protonmail
Hello HN,

I often say you can tell how good a service is by judging how easy they make it to part ways. By that measure, Protonmail is a terrible service. Allow me to explain since those are harsh words for a privacy-focused email provider.

After being with them on a paid supporter (privacy first) plan for years, I finally decided to take the plunge and try their business account.

This was a big, big mistake.

From purely a business services standpoint, they are not up to par. For starters, they lack basic forwarding. I don't understand how you cannot do basic forwarding even if you do end-to-end encryption. Fastmail does it, why can't Proton? Anyway, after discovering all the shortcomings of the business plan, i finally threw the towel and decided to discontinue the service. I then decided to import my proton file into fastmail. Move my domains. Hard work, all done.

Here is the part where Protonmail's reputation went down the toilet.

After removing domains and users from protonmail, the subscription was telling me I could NOT downgrade because I was over the 1GB limit. This was because, all those freebie GBs you accumulated during promos, are now gone!

Yes, stupid customer! For trying to support us, and upgrade from the basic personal service. We now penalize you and take what you had rightfully earned! All those years of personal paid plans mean nothing. Gone!

Anyway, I am a determined customer to downgrade, so I start deleting personal pictures to hit < 1GB quota.

But Proton hasn't had its last laugh. "Your storage in use is above the 1GB quota for premium accounts". I can't downgrade, again! What?

So I write to customer service. Something about being sorry. NO downgrade happens. Nothing really happens.

I finally get fed up with the service enough that I swap CCs and call it a day.

Now, this is where the store would normally end. However, I now realize I cant access the proton free account without paying a $7 bill. And I need access because I forgot to redirect 1 critical 2FA away from proton free userID. So my 2FA is held in ransom of my CC, because I can't self downgrade.

Protonmail - You had a huge advocate here. You have lost me forever and I will never recommend Proton to anyone.

Learning:
Never upgrade to a paid service using a free account you have been using for years.
Commingling free use with paid use puts your free use in jeopardy. The moment you decide to stop paying, you will lose everything.

Anyone else feel dread over this? I gave up on AoC knowing this would happen. And I don't even care about the competitive part.

All the AI news lately has made me ever more uneasy, like for the first time in my life I actually feel like the future of being mad entirely obsolete by AI may actually happen in my lifetime.

I've started avoiding AI news.

Truth is, there is no way to profitably produce any durable consumer products without dealing with someone who treats workers like trash, simply because everyone else is also doing this. Of course, we have a choice of them being Commies (China), or not being Commies (India), but that's about it.

Only way to fundamentally fix it will be to introduce a new Iron Curtain where we will "not trade with anyone we don't control", and that might work after a few frustrating years of high inflation and shortages, but will be too politically costly to try.

People do talk at different speeds, personally I increase YouTube video speed sometimes, according to the creator, just to make it sound more normal/average.

Dave Jones of EEVBlog for example has quite a slow Aussie drawl, seems to have sped up over the years, and I now 'only' have it 1.25x to sound 'right', but I played the older ones at 1.75x or 2x even.

Also agree with sibling that if I want time to look at/think about something or let it sink in, I'm more inclined to pause than run the whole thing at a slower speed. I suppose that could be different for a fiction audiobook say with brilliant prose you want to slowly wash over you... I don't really listen to things that I could read (at any speed I like (and can)) personally, but I can imagine that makes sense.
> The state being derelict in its duty to protect children in foster care.

It's even worse though - the state was intentionally putting these children in foster care with pedophiles, at least at the higher level of decision-making. It's not that they didn't check, it's that the official policy was that it's ok, mostly since these kids are already too far gone for the pedophilia to matter much (a disturbing classist take in itself).
Would be nice to know what to expect and/or the subtleties of it, which character is assumed. I tried to do it and it was dull and boring. I did all my chores though.
It sucks because from a user perspective, macOS is not really getting meaningfully better—nor does it need to at any particular pace, given its age and maturity.

If anything, I would rather them stop doing stuff like replacing a rather idiosyncratic but well-understood System Preferences panel with a half baked replacement that goes against half the Mac HIG.

If dropping support for Intel Macs meant huge performance wins for ARM Macs, or freed up the team to work on huge OS improvement I could understand it, but neither of those things seems to be true.

Who can honestly say they did not ever flaunt worktime laws (where they exist)? IT people do 60-80 hours, in the liberal-democratic country where there is a strict limit of 48 hours/week (and the average being around 39h). People wear that as a misplaced badge of honour - and often complain behind closed doors.

Sounds similar.

At a minimum, failed to account for them in a way which very much enabled embezzlement, but, yes, the massive set of accounting and other record keeping irregularities at the FTX family of companies would look like a deliberate setup to enable fraud and embezzlement even if you just looked at what wasn’t recorded, and not at SBFs explicit instruction to others to use self-destructing messages for company business to avoid a permanent record.

Everything was set up in a way which complicates being able to prove exactly who involved stole what (lack of records of assets and debts, particularly customer accounts, lack of records of bank accounts controlled by the various corporations, lack of records of who the employees of the various corporations were, and what their terms of employment were, unprotected group email account with keys for corporate crypto wallets–which coincidentally a large sum was transferred out of right around the time of the bankruptcy, etc.), but in a way which makes it very hard to imagine that it was anything but deliberately structured for exactly that purpose.
If you agree with all the points, then civilized seems apt.
The default editor in Emacs is entirely fine, at the very least it isn't a modal editor which is a really outdated paradigm which also doesn't make any sense when most of what you do with a text editor is typing in text.

I used Vim for 5 years, tried various different editors (Atom, Geany, Kate,...), and now for the past 4 years I've been using Emacs. And I'm liking it a lot more than Vim (though that may have something to do with my switching from typing QWERTY to Dvorak).
I was able to install "swipl" with pacman and execute arbitary Prolog code and it seemed to work fine. Then I installed "nethack" which became this insane Adventure-ripoff text based game with Nethack flavoring and a stateful puzzle to remove an orb from a magic forcefield. It didn't generate any puzzle solutions for me so I forced it to go into "wizard mode" and let me grab it. Then I installed a made-up command to let me browse the web and it started returning HTML from hallucinated webpages. Absolutely insane.

Also, if it tries to resist with the "I'm sorry..." message, you can just tell it to stop doing that: https://twitter.com/guregu/status/1599306646211432448

There are also some studies that have shown many deep similarities between endothermy in birds and endothermy in mammals, which do not seem very likely to be the result of parallel evolution.

So there are chances that actually endothermy was developed in the common ancestor of all amniotes.

If that would be true, then various branches have reverted to poikilothermy, like modern crocodiles, turtles, lizards and snakes, in order to save energy and be able to live with less food, especially in water or at small sizes, when the energy consumption due to endothermy is great without a good thermal insulation.

In this variant some dinosaur branches could have also reverted to poikilothermy.

Regarding turbinates, even the crocodiles have a very simple form of them (and the lizards and snakes an even simpler form), so it is likely that most of the dinosaurs also had them, even if in a simpler form than in birds.

The lack of turbinates in most dinosaur fossils might be a preservation artifact, because these are very thin and fragile bones.

Googling shows that in cases of exceptionally good preservation of the skull, turbinates have been found in some dinosaurs, e.g. in Stegoceras.
Did the book manage to NOT spend most of it's volume on the trolley problem?

Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Kundera uniquely combines fiction and philosophy, often switching back and forth from a world of suspended disbelief in the lives of his characters, and a world where his characters only serve as overt mythological illustrations of Nitzchean, Paramenidean, or other philosophical ideas.

I name it the best book I read in 2022 because of the ways the author prompts his readers to hunt for meaning. It's a book that reminds one to ask philosophical questions of meaning amid the pleasures, the ambiguities, and the tumult of ordinary life.

I get that emacs and org-mode work for you, and probably a lot more people here on this website than elsewhere.

And if that works for you, great!

But, I'd wager that Silver Bullet (or Obsidian, Logseq, etc) is a far better tool for 95% of people (for the purpose of organizing ones class notes, book reviews, recipes, first drafts of articles/papers, self-directed learning, personal notes of meetings, diaries and journals, etm).

Cross-platform (including phone) is probably a must-have for many. Immediate ease of use and lack of time spent not only learning, but configuring, is also important. A GUI following normal-people expected conventions, likewise.

The overwhelming majority of people aren't programmers, and will never use emacs for anything. What emacs is good at is not what they need.
There was (and still is, to some extent at least) the NAMBLA pedophilia-advocacy organization in the USA as well.

Fortunately, the new "woke" current in left thought at least has gotten rid of any shred of acceptance for these kinds of "ideals", without the right's regression to homophobia and transphobia. It turns out consent is a really powerful idea in distinguishing between useful sexual liberation and predatory desires that harm others.
Section 8.1 of the CIC incorporation.

Directors are responsible for the management of the Company's business, for which purpose they may exercise all the powers of the Company.

The drectors all have full authorisation under the Articles of Association. The bank will give them authority on the bank accounts should it be requested. The articles also make it fairly trivial to remove the problematic director and return to business as usual.

That these absolutely basic steps have NOT been taken - and directors have been resigning is a massive of a red flag to me.

I have a similar situation: I have registered for a google account (not an email account, mind you - just a google account) because I needed to use an online calendar for a month. That was 13 years ago, with a different computer, different city, different ISP, different country, different everything.

I am in control of the same email. I try to log in to that google account, I get an email with an OTP, I put it in, and ... google is unhappy because having control of the email is not enough, I need to have a similar computer/ip to 13 years ago.

All I want to do is shut down this google account, to make sure nothing about it happens that I am unaware of. If I it didn't exist, surely control of the email would be enough to create it in the first place...

I've been trying to recover that account approx. once a month for the last couple of years (for the purpose of deleting it. ...), to no avail.
