You're right, the 'regular' people form the base of a society. But purely biologically they aren't capable of implementing a system for governing the society. This is b/c a hard working brain consumes up to 25% of total energy which is very expensive. Therefore we tend to find shortcuts that allow us to avoid that much of brain activity. And as brain wants to be 'happy' (chemically) which biologically means good food, reproduction and dominance.

Thus geniuses may be considered a biological anomaly since for some reason they act against their biological nature by stressing themselves considerably more than 'regular' people.

Also see my comment above regarding detecting geniuses in a scientific evidence-based way.

Solar and batteries have some challenges about maintaining frequency and syncrhonization. When using spinning magnets (wind/steam turbines) the frequency is related to power draw. As demand spikes, the generators get slowed down. Effectively the rotational inertia works a bit like a buffer.

Balancing the grid is hence a matter of 'maintaining frequency'. Which makes the frequency very stable.

Solar and batteries are inherently DC. They have converters that take a reference AC signal, and output their energy synchronized to that reference. Incidentally, this makes it difficult to run your house off solar during a black-out, because you lack the reference. Even in smarter converters that don't need a reference to match the frequency, they still need a reference to synchronize the phase.

When we move to more batteries and solar for generation, that will put more strain on the spinning-based generation for short-term fluctuations. Less spinning mass means less buffer. At some point, any flaws in behavior of DC converters might start dominating. If they happen to resonate with each other, we might see some weird things.

Nonsense premise.

That's just unsubstantiated FUD.
The future of power grid is to have cheap base load (likely nuclear) and efficient batteries in everything we can put batteries in.

When I am talking about batteries, I really talked about NBD style devices[1].

What an insane takeaway. "The hands of the people" could not possibly be clearer. To equate that with essentially "the government" shows how incredibly effective the state's propaganda mills are on people such as yourself.

Also, why are the "strongest and richest" objectionable to you, but not the government? That statement describes the government perfectly, and the main thing that distinguishes them from individuals who are privately wealthy is holding a monopoly on violence that's used to forcibly extract wealth while producing nothing in return.

We need a separation of money and state.

This list largely how I feel about looking stuff up on wikipedia. Not if you actually need a fact, but if you're trying to have a conversation about what somebody's heard, or what their thoughts are, and someone in the group just googles it and reads it out, it basically destroys the conversation. And obviously if I just wanted to know what it said on the internet, I would have googled it.

The phone battery is bigger. For perspective, an 18650 battery is substantially bigger than a AA, but the best they can do is ~3500mAh. Iirc AA lithium batteries are barely more dense than alkaline or nickel, and are awkwardly high voltage so require a buck corcuit, further harming performance.

Let's imagine 1 civilization lasts 10 million years on a planet. Then it either blows itself out or moves away.
Let's imagine it takes another 10 million years for a new one to spawn out there.
Within 100 million years we could get 5 different civilizations, each unaware of the other ones, unless some long-lasting (> 10 my) relic can be found.
So, for two civilization to come in contact you need to be within the same space-time boundaries. Otherwise they could be either too far in time or too far in space. Provided that both civilizations can physically get in an effective contact.

I think people here on HN are super biased IQ wise.

If you or some random person on the street can list 20 similar concepts to Heiddigers "dasein" from similar philosphers, or apply Pierre Bordious forms of capital to multiple fictitious people (or even animals lol) outline the history of calculus and explain core coding concept, music theory -etcetera ad infinitum - all very pedagogically and "pretty" accurately i'm impressed.

To me it's not "pretty average", but like at person with 300+ bachelor level degrees thats's way overconfident, but a great starting point.

This kind of intelligence is in the absolute top percentiles. If it can reach "senior" lvl intelligence and be a bit more self doubting remains to be seen though.
Your friendly neighborhood AI.
If you want an educated and informed populace (the kind you need for democracy to be worth a damn), then access to information for as many people as possible is a necessary but not sufficient condition. I don't buy that people are dumber today than they were a century ago. People did some pretty dumb things then as well. If you think things are bad now, presumably you would like the situation to improve. I don't see how the situation improves if most people would need to take out a loan to read academic papers.

Something that is worth noting, is that what these kinds of sites are doing is fundamentally the same as what local libraries do. Local libraries get a pass only because there was a precedent for their existence before copyright and IP law got out of hand.

Emacs on my first computer, an i486 with a whopping 33 MHz of compute power had no trouble with syntax highlighting, autocomplete and spell checking.

My understanding is the settlement to another currency is deferred, but the legal right to that settlement is established atomically, or not, according to whether the multi-party transaction is accepted by the network.

And as it is said possession is 9/10 of the law, practically that right is backed up by possession of the account key and the existence of a variety of exchanges who accept ETH.

You can of course execute multi-party transactions without a trustless distributed ledger, but in practice then you have to trust a particular intermediary with your assets. I.e. they can run away with them mid-transaction and you have things like costly legal battles, lengthy timescales and stressful burdens of proof, to recover your assets despite them being yours.

Though legal frameworks can be created to minimise the risks associated with intermediaries, legal rights in principle are a different experience from rights backed by possession of things like cash, bank balances, title deeds etc.

Possession of ETH and the property NFT in accounts you exclusively hold keys for, as well as a conveyance-encoding transaction on a widely agreed public ledger as evidence to back them up, are in a similar category to posession of bank balances and title deeds on paper or in a land registry. The common factors are their meaning is widely recognised, they are in your control already, and they behave in recognised ways. ETH you can use immediately with an ecosystem of exchanges. The property NFT along with the legalese and history that gave it meaning prior to the transaction are convincing evidence to future parties who need to know you have legal title to the property. As with all property in the real world, someone can always challenge your ownership by the courts or by fraud, but a well established NFT gives you favourable evidence, so they are unlikely to succeed and less likely to try.

As Russian, I can say that Telegram in Russia is the number one messenger among Russian government's oppositionists. Simply saying, if you have anti-goverment channels/chats/friends in you Telegram, before walk outside, you remove/hide them in order no to have issues if police officer stop you and ask to unlock your phone (rarely, but happens). Same for Belarus.

Many reasons why Telegram is (most probably) safe. There are a lot of black/gray area stuff here like drugs etc. That people (i don't support them) trust Telegram showing us it's secure.

And the Telegram's owner (Pavel Durov) relocated from Russia for ever due to issues with his previous project (VK) when goverment asked to show private/personal data.

I’m reluctant to use “luxury” to describe these rights, and even more reluctant to suggest the west shares them well.

The former sets up an argument that these rights are superfluous, and the latter fails to recognize areas where the west does poorly at upholding rights, especially the limitations on speech imposed by many western governments.
This is exactly correct, and also exactly why blockchain-based cryptocurrency has utterly failed to deliver on its promises to bring freedom from the tyrannies of fiat currency. In fact, the technology has been pivotal in ushering in this CBDC madness. Returning to the gold standard was always the best solution available, and we just ignored it to our own peril. It preserves both privacy and universal acceptability, which provides the user far more freedom than any other available alternative.
I think it's not unreasonable that we are sort of early to the party. Earth has existed for about 1/3 of the lifetime of the universe (and I think it was only around 8 billion years ago that the galaxy started looking like it does today) and we are only here right now and we don't have enough impact in our environment that would be detectable with our technology from very far away even within the milky way. Considering that in order to get technologically advanced you need some heavier elements to exist, your planet really needs to be formed after a few generations of stars. Then there are a bunch of other factors to get everything right in the planet so that it ends up creating inteligent life.

I suspect there's probably intelligent life out there and some may be a lot more advanced than us. But I think it's not unreasonable to think that no life in the milky way quite made it to galactic domination yet. If that's even feasible. It's just very hard to find anything short of that right now. And, even if such life exists in other galaxies, it would be very hard to detect that as well. Plus, they are really far away, so their influence didn't quite have the time to reach here.

If you can charge at home/base then, really, you only care about the range being sufficient for one day. I think 200km is enough for many, if not most, use cases.

Most of the Transits I see (in the UK) are not used to drive long distances in a day but to carry stuff around. Think electricians, plumbers, all those trades.

Even an Amazon delivery driver may not drive more than 200km a day. What they do is plenty of stops and I suspect it takes them hours to drive just 20km.
Mh, modern desktops instead of being desktops (witch means production and consumption devices) are mere modern awfully complex, limited and limiting dumb terminals not because of internet (witch is NOT the web) but because commercial evolution locked and demolished the original desktop concept from Xerox PARC to initially dumb machines just a bit "electrified" to keep a slow evolution instead of a revolution, after when the revolution can't be stopped, they push dumb machines aiming a crafting a virtual "metaverse" mimicking the real world office organization instead of a revolution again, than again they choose to trap all PARC innovations in commercial services to arrive to actual GAFAM.

That's nothing to do about "computers" that's just about those who implement them commercially, making a cartel who is closely similar to classic Sicilian mafia. Those who in the west are commonly known now as GAFAM, yesterday as IBM, then Microsoft, Yandex in Russian Fed., Baidu in China and so on.

Their development diverge from the concept of an unique integrated environment, interconnected with peers, the Desktop, to push first "individual applications" who are like "promoted functions" the end users can't really change nor combine, than "individual services".

So today if I post in HN from Firefox directly I can't get 2+2 = 4 whith the = 4 computed, because that's "a function" done by some other programs, while in Emacs I can compute easily because a function is a function, no barrier exists and such function do not need specific design, package, install, distribution, update etc might be just something like

(defun eval-math-expr (beg end)
"Quickly run calc on a region (from BEG to END)."
(interactive "r")
(require 'calc)
(let ((result
(calc-eval
(buffer-substring beg end))))
(save-excursion
(goto-char end) (insert " = " result))))

witch can be bound to anything I like. And in the same way anything is done in the same environment. That's the "end user programming" and the "end user glue" of anything where the barrier between code and data do not exists and so it's possible to produce anything on a desktop, with reasonable effort.
> There is still hope that one of these days, young academics will choose to simply not publish there anymore, and when the old guard dies off so will interest in the old information silos.

This will happen a lot quicker if more people work to improve FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interop, Reusability) of content and information that's outside proprietary silos already. Whether old content that has become legally available due to its age, or content that's been published openly in the first place. That's what it would take for people to ignore the silos outright.

Most large publishers are pretty much IP trolls anyway. The incentives inherent in IPR regulation, combined with large monopoly power, push them towards that model.
