I am not so keen on photon transistors, at least not in the short term. I have seen them proposed for decades but progress has been slow at best. Maybe some folks will figure it out and we will make that leap but current progress is not looking great. As for Carbon nano tubes, I'm not too familiar with the applications of this for transistors but it does sound like something that can get us a little further down the road.

All this arm chair speculation. All the people that work on these things would know far better than me. And I mean ALL the people! ;)

We have two kids. One is 3, and the other is 1. Our first was an amazing sleeper. After the first few months, she would mostly sleep in a basinet the entire night. She transitioned to a crib easily, and now sleeps in a bed for about 12 hours per night without getting up.

Our second on the other hand was a complete nightmare. Crying for almost the entire night for months on end. He eventually settled down a bit, but we finally caved and let him co-sleep. He slept with us for almost the entire first year, and is just now moving to a crib.

So I don't even think it's genetic. It's almost purely random.

If we're talking Apple devices, Focus mode is explicitly defined for that case, and allows fine-grained settings for specific sources to allow through, so you can still get, e.g. high-priority midnight calls from the family/lawyer/local comic book shop.

I have no problem reading. The assertion wasn't that Elon Musk is anti-LGBT because of that single tweet. It was that single tweet was another example of him being LGBT. The irony that you miss this while telling me to "learn to read FFS" is not lost on me and once again speaks to your lack of credibility in being a reasonable person about this. You cannot seriously suggest that Musk is engaging in criticism of the flag from a pro-LGBT stance because he's objectively not pro-LGBT. He posted the other day that his pronouns are "prosecute fauci" he's not an LGBT ally. Sorry to break it to you. But this is the state of things today. Read the fucking news or something, give me a break from your disingenuous BS.

“…dangerous because bad people could use it to plan nefarious activities…”

My interpretation of the spirit of legislation like the U.S. First Amendment is that “bad people” is impossible to objectively define, so the price for freedom of speech is that sometimes there are “bad people,” and you just have to live with it.

I’m not sure I’ve really come to understand what is going through the minds of those who do want to police speech (and communications and association). Are they fools who cannot see where this leads? Do they believe that it will favour their interests? Are they just so easily frightened that they aren’t sold on liberty anymore?
> Insisting to opt out will make everyone else's job more difficult

Good! Acquiescing to a system based on concern for other individuals affected by that system (whether they're employed by or just another subject of it) is exactly what the people creating/administering a system want you to do, so their agenda can continue unquestioned. Rather, you should be friendly and polite to the individuals but firm in your insistence.

If one doesn't want our society to continue sliding into technological totalitarianism, then one needs to not treat it like a foregone conclusion.

Substack also supports email sign-in,

I manage our company’s Windows machines and I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. In years past, you’d be pestered to reboot until you finally acquiesced and now Microsoft thinks they can get away with updating everything on the sly but the effect is often exactly as you described. I’m not loving it.

> You are quite right it is not just compilation that sets Python apart from C++, that was a bit of a simplification on my part.

That's how I understood your post. Sorry if my post came off as a correction - it was not meant as such, but as a question (not specifically about Python or C++):

How does a language benefit from not having the option to compile it? What restrictions does the requirement to be able to produce a machine-code executable place on it?

Because naively, I would say it should have no effect - one could package the interpreter and source-code into a single file, and think of that as a (very unoptimized) "compiled executable".
Are you actually curious? It’s called marketing.
Given that GPT is already difficult to distinguish from a person who’s confidently wrong, how does this web of trust system solve the problem?

The belief that anything will “solve” this seems naive when there’s 20+ years of proof of this being an “unsolvable” problem despite repeated technological, social, and legislative attempts. There might be a new normal established with new battlegrounds drawn and we learn to “live” with it, but I’m willing to bet non-trivial domes of money against there being any true “solution” here.
I've been checking the server logs, and it claims to always reply within a few milliseconds. It might just be lag somewhere between the server and the users' browsers. Seems to be mostly ok for me and then suddenly go super creep mode for a few seconds.

Due to the nature of LiveView, I don't think I can eliminate the lag entirely, sorry. It's not just the other players, your own stuff goes to the server and back every keystroke too.
It's a little weird that this pilot research* made the front page of HN, in that respect there probably is a political factor.

But for the research itself I agree, there's no indication this article was in any way motivated by COVID or contains any misunderstandings of HCQ.

Filmora should have just created a new product which was just the same product by a new name.

I agree with the article. I think most people who think nano is a "weak" editor simply haven't really used it beyond opening a file, editing a line, and then closing it.

I do all my coding in nano, and I'm more than happy. I gave vim a sporting chance, know how to use it reasonably well, and do use it comfortably when editing collaboratively with a vim user. But nano just works, and without having to go through silly mental hoops. And for all the "mental efficiency" talk, in practice 99% of vim users I have interacted with either end up ignoring all the complicated stuff such that vim actively ends up wasting more of their time to do otherwise simple stuff, or manage to shoot themselves on the foot for every other "clever" thing they try to do.

The latest release (7 onwards) has also become even more powerful, now that it allows function calling in macros (previously you could only use pre-bound keybindings)
Exactly the same experience for me, and similar with the game too.

We figured out that while the C: drive wasn’t accessible in Explorer directly, you could create a desktop shortcut directly to subfolders. Installed a copy of Worms World Party on all of our machines using that; somehow, although the machines were imaged weekly, it ended up on the image and got copied across to every school computer which was convenient.

I also went a step further with the joke messages, creating a program which showed a bunch of dialogs with choices in a loop. It couldn’t be closed and some choices did things like open/close the CD tray (as a “diagnostic”). People started just dragging it to the corner of the screen out of sight.

We also had a self sign-up system for sports, where you could pick a main interschool sport, or a “development” sport that was more about learning interesting stuff. The system was pretty insecure, using your date of birth as a “password”, but it also turned out that it had an SQL injection, so I used that to set everyone’s sport to Equestrian. Getting to hear an announcement at the school assembly about how the computer system had a problem was pretty great. I even emailed them about the injection issue but they never fixed it. (A risky move, really.)
Exactly. I have no problems with someone going after false or misleading advertising.

Does any brand make a decent toaster ready alternative that isn't just flavored sugar but actually contains a decent amount of actual strawberry filling?

I'll give Kellogg's some credit for having the other fruits listed in the ingredients and making it clear there is very little fruit at all. It looks like strawberry pop-tarts may contain more salt than strawberry.

ingredients on the box says:

wheat flour, sugar, sugar, sugar, oil, sugar, and wheat flour.

Contains 2% or less of wheat starch, salt, dried strawberries, dried pears, dried apples, baking soda/baking powder, citric acid, gelatin, more wheat starch, yellow corn flour, caramel color, xanthan gum, corn starch, turmeric extract color, soy lecithin, red 40, yellow 6, blue 1
Yes, I think the hypothesis is conceptually interesting. But rather than thinking about how it could be true, I try to think about how the data could be misleading. I do this to try to avoid making broader claims in my own work than I should.

I didn't like the original post that much but I tink this one is worse because it's almost entirely emotional. Statements like this:

"When you say “law enforcement”, who exactly do you mean? Employees of the United States? Of Oregon? Of Crow Wing County, MN? Of Italy? Of China? How are you going to sort out the jurisdictional disputes, and how are you going to ensure that only “good” law-enforcement organizations get to snoop?"

are just knee-jerk. You sort it out the same way you do any issue of public authority. Legislation, regulation, courts, etc. Privacy is not binary. Technically it's perfectly possible to design differentiated systems that can be adjusted and provide transparent access when needed. And that's probably what we need the most, not just when it comes to crime but also user choice. Way too often these days you have extreme solutions on one end that result in users opting for unsafe choices just due to usability. There needs to be much more debate about how systems are designed so that they give authority access when needed in a way that has checks built in and protects users as much as possible.

Authority has legitimate interest in preventing crime, this has wide public support in many cases, and individuals have legitimate interest in privacy, but neither is limitless. Any system designed for communication ought to reflect that or else we're just wasting resources on ideological debates.
Oh right, I forgot as I don't travel too much and almost whole Poland is reasonably well covered.
Cognates and illustrations definitely assist, and the book uses both freely. Chapter 1 begins with a map, for example. It’s a very clever strategy, one especially well suited for teaching Latin to people already speaking an Indo-European language.

I imagine it would be less useful to people who speak a language that doesn’t share the features of Latin. A map isn’t going to be of much use if one’s native language doesn’t have the concept of plurals, and one therefore struggles to comprehend the est / sunt distinction altogether. Then again, English doesn’t decline nouns or conjugate verbs (for the most part), and English speakers tend to be big fans of LLPSI. To its credit, it goes slow, and reinforces its lessons very well. The rest of chapter 1 is basically spent on variations of the above grammar point, introducing new nouns but reusing those two verb forms again and again in different variations, illustrating their use and how they contrast.

To your question, I also wonder how well this kind of bootstrapping approach could be achieved without relying on language similarity. The trick seems to be to tap into pre-existing adult skills or knowledge - e.g. logic, map reading. I think this is what sets LLPSI apart from “immersion” approaches like Rosetta Stone, which are based on the erroneous assumption that adults (do / should) learn language as toddlers do.

People have compared this to .plan, but seem to forget that back then people often wanted to cram more and more in their plan. I had a job that would cat new data every 10 seconds, rotating my calendar and other info.

I don't like that information in general would be ephemeral (and screencast everywhere sucks), persistent URLs are one of the great things about the web (and archive.org...) but maybe you could show different visitors different URLs? (I'm reminded of jwz's site sending HN referrals somewhere different.)

You spoke in extreme absolutes and called it "wisdom". You said:

> any sufficiently powerful political organization will be corrupted and abused

> There is no force worse than corrupted political power

These are your words:

ANY powerful political organization will become corrupted. Every single one, every single time, no matter what.

Corrupted political power is THE WORST force in the universe. It is IMPOSSIBLE to IMAGINE a worse force than corrupted political power. Therefore it's worse than Boko Haram warbands roving around raping villages and forcing children to become their soldiers. That's awful, sure, but it's not as bad as BIG GOVERNMENT! This is a direct and obvious consequence of the words that you wrote; it is not a strawman. Unless you include Boko Haram as "corrupted political power", in which case everything that's bad is defined as corrupted political power and your actual statement is "bad things are bad".

This is a favorite of libertarians. They'll say things like "Truly wise and smart and good-looking people all know that Thing X obviously always definitely happens as a result of Thing Y. Therefore I shouldn't have to pay taxes." Then they vaguely hand-wave at cherry-picked pseudo-evidence like "the last 20 years of military intervention", relying on the reader's brain to conjure up a couple of salient instances like Iraq and Afghanistan and ignoring everything else that's happened in the entire world and outside of their cherry-picked window (Kuwait would like a word about whether U.S. military intervention is always bad).

> That's a very large strawman you just argued

I'm arguing against generic libertarianism, because the hallmark of generic libertarianism is the extreme absolutist statements exactly like the ones you made. If you'd like me to argue against a more nuanced point, you should make that point instead.

> All if not most of our regulatory bodies & bureaucracies are beholden to lobbyists and special interests

This is such a lazy take. There is an enormous number of different government agencies in the U.S. and in the world, and they all have their own, different issues, to different degrees. The world is complicated. Advocating the dissolution of regulatory agencies because "I'm sure they're all corrupt; I mean, just look at 'em!" is lazy and reactionary. It's like saying "All politicians are liars". You're helping the agencies that are most corrupted by lumping them in with the ones that are actually doing a good job. Again: the dissolution of these agencies is the desired outcome of extreme corruption, not the solution to it.

Stop being such a lazy thinker. The world is complicated.
