Inertial Fusion in a Magnetic field is something I've been pushing for a long time. There are a lot of interesting variations on this design, and I hope I can get more interest in my design at http://www.DDproFusion.com
Are these improvements peculiar to QUIC or could they be applied to HTTP 1.1 as well?
Hopefully they'll provide the kind of vigorous and transformative competition against Apple's App Store that Amazon's Appstore has provided against Google Play.
What is "hard to deal with"?

I definitely can be hard to deal with if you try to run BS by me. Things like unnecessary refactors for example really rub me the wrong way.

I think that sometimes hard NO is the only right answer. "No, we don't need to do this, it's unnecessary, it can introduce bugs, and it wastes reviewers time. Not LGTM". I can see how this can be seen as "abrasive" and "hard to deal with". But sometimes swallowing your ego and abandoning a change is the right answer.
It would have to increase A LOT to significantly change the outcome. For example, according to this website[0] (no idea how accurate it is) Facebook users upload more than 300 million photos a day. At that rate, 2^32/300,000,000 = 14.3. So 32 bits would give Facebook 14 days worth of unique ids for their photos. Whereas 2^64/300,000,000 = 61,489,147,000 days, which is around 168 million years worth of ids.

All I'm saying is the jump from 2^32 to 2^64 is astronomical. I don't see using 64 bit integers for uids in my hobby code as something to be concerned about. In production code for a company I would use something more significant, but even then I feel like 64 bits will last a very long time.

I think a major bottleneck for fusion research from the lay public (including myself) is lack of interest.

Fission reactors work really well and have been around for 50+ years. If we are going to go nuclear instead of renewable, we need to address the elephant in the room.

The elephant in the room is: why not just fission?
There's many reasons to hate smart contracts, but this isn't one of them. The article is talking about changes to a codebase that's closed source and deployed with little scrutiny. None of this is applicable to reputable smart contract projects, which are open source and require some sort of consensus and/or vote for code changes. Using this as an argument against smart contracts makes as much sense as using the elections in russia as an argument against democracy.
For one, Britain effectively destroyed India’s manufacturing sector.

British colonisers established a system of legal plunder, known to contemporaries as the “drain of wealth.” Britain taxed the Indian population

> Singh donated $8 million to federal campaigns in the 2022 election cycle, and all of it went to Democrats... The sum makes him the 34th highest donor to all federal campaigns across the country during the latest election, ahead of other party donors such as billionaires Tom Steyer and angel investor Ron Conway...

I wonder if personal contribution is the new lobbying? Surely he advocated for FTX (or at least mentioned it?) at all the dinners and photo ops $8mm generated?
It shows what domain the link goes to. Did you expect a text post at youtube.com?
How exactly is it clickbait? The channel has generally quite well researched essays and the titles usually literally describe what's in the video, for example "The Incredible Logistics Behind Corn Farming" is about the logistics of corn farming.

This video is absolutely not just stating the obvious size of Samsung in the way you suggest.
Http 1.1 doesn't use UDP, so probably not?
Agreed, I think. Though, ggplot is very tough competition. And a lot of the niceties of small multiples and such are going to be a super power for folks using them.
Really, Apple could have headed off regulators at the pass if they had embraced the semi-opening of their platform themselves. Allow third party app stores but on their own terms, providing SDKs and APIs for creating your own iOS App Store with security checks baked in and mandating privacy protections built in. Sort of like a software services equivalent to Apple Authorized Service Providers and Apple Authorized Resellers.

They would have then controlled this debate, and there would have been less room for the Epics of the world to complain about the platform being locked down. Not to mention users would benefit from greater choice. Imagine boutique third party app stores springing up devoted to specific interests and niches such as F-Droid, promising better curation or quality.

Companies who refuse to use the AppStoreKit that Apple so beneficently provided would then be seen as malefactors seeking to subject their users to lack of privacy and security, rather than Apple trying to uphold their 30% cut and restrictive behavior.

Instead, Apple tried to control everything and not only did they expose themselves to regulation like this, they deal with customers annoyed at scammy apps on their own App Store, and third party devs crying foul at inconsistent policing.
Yes!!! This is going to be so good for iPhone.
> , even if a legitimate copy were obtainable without purchasing some hardware.

Pedantic, but the license agreement line requiring that 'MacOS can only run on Apple hardware' is, itself, in service of the fact that they only license the software to you if you purchase their hardware.
It could easily go away we just have to allow PWAs greater access to native features on our phones.
Same issue on Mac. Setting up the recovery key works for me on iOS, yet I'm unable to activate Advanced Data Protection for some reason.
It doesn't matter if people agree, it only matters if it works or not.
One problem is that you start using these services and then the bill arrives and you then spend all your time removing stuff from the logs to keep the bill down.
Yep, I made the same mistake I was trying to call out here haha. Thanks for the correction!
One night, I fell into a YouTube rabbit hole of saw mill videos…which is to say making one’s own lumber is just another DIY woodworking project, because Harbor Freight sells sawmills.

You would think generating and verifying a recovery key wouldn’t need server access, but I’m getting the same thing as OP on an iPhone 13 mini. I wonder if one of my PiHole lists are blocking it?
>But at the end of the day, expecting code to replace the core human emotion of trust, the source of money, is ridiculous.

No, the point is for code to replace the institutions/people that people trust (ie. trusting the bitcoin network's consensus code, rather than a central bank), not "replace the core human emotion of trust".
If that's the case who's the new hotness these days?
- XCode is widely considered to be one of the most annoying and buggy IDE.

- The code signing process for iOS used to be an absolute nightmare, it was improved and streamlined over the years but still a pain

- A large part of the tech stack is Apple specific (ObjC, Swift, Metal)

- They tend to progressively drop support of cross-platform tech like OpenGL and C++ (some new APIs are Switft only and they will continue to force adoption)

- The App Store support for devs is extremely opaque

- They push very hard to enforce "guidelines" that they don't hesitate to break

It is part of the Apple culture, Steve Jobs was a product guy and he was brilliant, but he never really enjoyed the idea of other companies/devs doing things with his toys.

The iOS SDK was launched only to stop people from jailbreaking their iPhone to get access. The initial goal was web apps only.

Jobs also had a profound disdain for games and this is what started the Apple culture.
It look like Dropbox-curlftpfs comparison. I've never used both but user experience would be different. I imagine that most traditional bank apps are crappy.
Yes, you are right about advancing the start of the window until uniqueness is restored. So, basically just advance it by 1.

You could definitely use two indexes instead of a queue, and using indexes over an array will be faster than using a queue.
So why wasn't it designed more efficiently from the beginning?

Yes, I understand where they are coming from. This balance between the 'normal, everyday person end user' and people who stare down command lines and make their own frameworks used by millions will always be tough - but there is a primary person in both arenas Apple is making things for, and sometimes it isn't 'us - and that's ok!

And in some ways, we are arguing over a dead corpse. It's possible that VR/AR will hit an inflection point - not by glasses - but by people actually making the 'real malleable world' like DynamicLand and Humane. Those paradigms may very well leave Apple in the dust - because the way Apple has approached this argument to me feels hollow, they don't own their beliefs in the rhetoric, and even I have felt at times they've been coasting and rent seeking. Potentially I'm just misguided in thinking in the ideal.
Also a method my high school English teacher used to standardise pages after one too many (i.e. one) comic sans 18pt hand ins.

We could use a computer at a certain font, linespace and margin so a 10 page essay was consistent.

Which was lots better than other teachers who just said ‘nope, handwritten please’.
Build on quicksand, sink into quicksand.

I may complain about Swift/iOS/macOS breaking things every year but they seem like bedrock compared to many JavaScript environments and frameworks. Come to think of it, even many Java apps seem to be built on a quicksand morass of constantly changing frameworks.

But I think you can have fairly stable JavaScript if you write primarily vanilla JS and don't rely on the latest bleeding-edge features in Chrome, etc..
The bug never existed at all in Civ 1. It was an urban legend all along. Similar behavior was intentional in Civ 5 as a joke, which convinced everyone that it really did happen in Civ 1 when it never did.
This was the second time. The energy out/in ratio was higher this time, hence the claim of better scaling.

That is exactly what "fuck you" money means. It's not about having so much money you couldn't possibly want for anything. People will always want. It's about having enough that you're not beholden to anyone for your basic needs.

I don't get the argument about the separation between /usr/bin and /usr/local that FreeBSD does: why there should be a separation of concerns about the core system and the rest of the packages?

In Linux distributions everything is installed by the package manager, and while it may be in different repositories (for example in ArchLinux you have core and extra) the packages are exactly the same, and the package manager maintains a database of all installed files. Do you want to remove all the "non core" stuff? You can easily do that with a command.

Meanwhile /usr/local is retained for stuff that is not installed by the package manager of the distro, and thus it's not registered in its database. This will include for example binaries and libraries installed with other package manager such as pip, npm, etc, or things that you install with `make install`, that are not upgraded automatically.

It generates a lot of confusion, for example some files are in /etc, some others are in /usr/local/etc, some other files are in both locations and you have to know which is the correct one. And who decides that is core and what is extra anyway? There is not a clear distinct definition, for example do you define as core only the software necessary to boot? Do you include system utilities? Compilers? Of which language? It's a mess!
Anecdote here, but any time I use dark mode even for a few minutes, it makes my eyes feel awful, and leaves ghostly shadows of text lines in my vision for up to a minute or two after leaving the screen. Reading anything in light mode on the other hand doesn't cause me much trouble even after hours of doing it nearly without interruption.. I have a hard time believing that i'm the only one. Personally, I detest dark mode and have never understood why so many people recommend it.
At least under CA law they do have to prove intent for shoplifting.

>Shoplifting is defined as entering a commercial establishment with an intent to commit larceny while it's open during regular business hours and the value of the property taken, or intended to be taken, is $950 or less. Any other entry into a commercial business with intent to commit larceny is burglary.

Do you know how that is done? The chicks are used as a source of protein, so I'm curious as to how they are anesthetized without making the result feed unusable.
This story sounds like luck. That isn't marketing. It's like hoping that Kim Kardashian will use my new face cream and tweet about it.

Another idea: Bribe a popular streamer to play your game and tweet about it. I am sure it is common.
It's amazing how fast the internal details are leaking out. It's very curious how Reuters could get hold of the source code and quickly identified the most relevant code. It seems someone inside FTX worked with Reuters.
But requiring developers to pay Apple in order to get on the iPhone isn't going to fly with the new EU law... right?

FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried Denied Bail in the Bahamas
Changing code you have committed working on (as can be seen in the product management tool) without notifying you, which makes git return hundreds of merge conflicts when merging the main branch into your work branch -- basically ensuring you either can start over again based on the new code or risking drama when force rewriting the main tree without said unexpected changes.

Worst time it happened to me was the day just before the start of my Christmas holiday and it almost made me quit.
2^63 (assuming signed 64 bit ints) is enough for 10 billion people to post 900 million posts each. Short of faster-than-light travel or the singularity happening, it seems pretty safe.
I actually used nutrisense, the issue is that it is overpriced since all they really do is give you the sensors. Also I had some discomfort with the sensors.

There is a new Abbott sensor that looks really promising but there are no news about it so maybe it is vaporware.

There are timestamps for sorting.
As others have pointed out, there are 2^31 non-negative values an Int32 can take on, and linear growth is probably a bad assumption.

I should also probably point out some ambiguity in your analysis. To be clear, under the faulty assumption of linear consumption, if Int32s get exhausted in 10 years, switching to UInt32s will last 20 years of which 10 are already spent. So, under the faulty assumption of linearity, switching to UInt32s buys you an extra 10 years.

64-bit identifiers will last quite a while. Another defensible choice would be to switch to 128-bit unguessable identifiers (such as assigning them via AES-256 in counter mode) in order to provide defence in depth. If something goes wrong with your authentication, but the attacker is likely to spend millennia hammering your REST API with invalid IDs before exploiting an actual asset, then the consequences aren't so bad.

I think this is great and fully support the change, given that loading your own applications has worked pretty great as the baseline for basically every personal computer since the dawn of computing. As an aside, I'll always be amused by how much hype is generated whenever Apple adds something that has existed for decades to their systems. When they finally put an SD card slot on their devices thirty years from now I expect this site to go down due to high traffic and for hell to freeze over.
I know this is a slight tangent but I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of (certain) nootropics. If stacked correctly, the cognitive benefits are great.
There's a lot of abstract victim-blaming here re articles etc, and for sure the SV set for the most part is pretty clueless about the real world (though it looks like it's coming for them!).

But people here seem a bit less threatened by very poor individuals actually posting here than in most online places. I know from my own experience that mentioning you're homeless is usually a red rag to a bull. Add that you're an unemployed software developer, and the self-loathing middle class is often very quickly off on a hate-rampage. Less so here, for some reason. Perhaps just because people here are focused on topics of common interest, so if you're a loser (generally hated by the winners, worried that by the grace of providence they might have been you ..), at least you're one of our losers?
LOL. Who is getting 5% risk free interest rate on USD? No one. I guess 1% after taxes is a more reasonable expected return. Remember that interest rates on retail deposits were pretty much zero for last 10 years. So, 20K USD per year. But if they can keep it up for next 5 years, then yeah, pretty much can retire on 1% interest rate forever.
That isn't disagreeing? It is half the numbers. But that is just minus one exponent.

I would be highly surprised if in any given startup in the first 24 months they were not at least in breach of several laws, especially in the HR domain. Usually this gets fixed during the first fundraising (during legal DD and for a regulated industry compliance review) but your average 3 people in a room start-up trying to get a product out the door will inevitably make mistakes like these - and worse. The GDPR is an easy one to mess up on, local employment law, employment contracts, especially when hiring people remote can be super tricky and if you are in a regulated industry my advice would be to hire a part time compliance officer (and probably an HR professional as well) as soon as you can afford it, it will save a whole raft of problems later on.

Regulators are usually more than willing to work with such young companies to get them to become compliant, rather than to throw the book at them at the first opportunity.

Given the state of the companies advertising on YC my assumption would be that they are too busy to get to either an MVP or to break even to be acutely aware of all of these compliance issues. One thing YC does is to help the companies with legal support, they probably could give some assistance with making sure that public job ads are compliant either by serving as a clearing house or to offer a set of written guidelines to ensure basic compliance, thus minimizing the risk of accidentally running afoul of the law.

That is not what happened here. The fact alone that very few people knew about Alameda's special treatment, and, importantly, deliberately conspired to keep that treatment secret is a pretty strong indicator that he knew it was wrong.
Absolutely! Just imagine the benefit, if the cost of shelter had as much progress as say clothing which is so cheap now, relative to 200 years ago.

Also, i think people are so levered up on their homes, they have ever more incentive to keep the ponsi scheme going. Where i live people sometimes but down payments as little as 20% or sometimes even 10%!

So, to answer the original question. if you have a down payment of 10%, say your entire networth, and the market drop 20%, it means you have 200% of networth lost!
