Thanks for elaborating. That's an interesting and somewhat new perspective to me (particularly about Luther being too strongly biased by the social/political controversies of his time), so I'm reducing my confidence in what I wrote in earlier comments, and I'll remember to dig deeper into the viewpoint of Catholic scholars at some point.
> QA is non-linear when discretised, so no, no one is "replacing" anything.

I don't know what any of this is referring to as I never mentioned "replacing" anything.

> There is no "digital physics", it's a PR term of a hype industry, not the title of any, eg., textbook on area of physics.

Incorrect:

A Computable Universe, https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/8306#t...

> Physics is not computable to arbitrary precision, both chaos and qm require physics to use non-computable numbers.

Also incorrect, and put most succinctly by Peter Shor [1]:

Because of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle, the value of a physical constant can't be defined to more than 60 or 70 digits. And any finite-precision number by definition is computable.

I ran into this very tool when setting up my home server some months ago (ECC and ZFS being necessary for integrity’s sake). It works, though I’ve yet to see a single error, which has only left me thinking that the fuss over ECC RAM and the risk of bit flips was overblown.
> Hasbro has the money to make legal challenges to that prohibitive,

Legal costs do not necessarily scale by size and wealth of the litigant. I'm not a lawyer, but I've dealt with enough license disputes that I'd be lawyering up if I was in the D&D OGL business. This looks to be a pretty simple contract dispute about what paragraph 9 (Updating the License) actually says and if it is actually legal (it probably is). I'd first ask the lawyer if I should suspend selling and distributing, and then ask if it's worth litigating the OGL license change. Suspending the business will also dramatically reduce the cost of litigation because there's going to be minimal damages to argue (which takes a truckload of accountants and extra expensive lawyers to calculate).

Sunni Islamic art doesn't depict humans or animals, but my understanding is that's actually not a universal characteristic of Islam.

How about this. It’s ok to declare nuclear a failure once we actually make a serious attempt to do it in the first place.

Sorry, what? You said "those MSRP 4070 cards don't exist at all", I'm confused what you meant by that when there clearly are several models on Newegg at the advertised MSRP.

Yes, premium card models exist and have always existed, for people who want to pay extra to get a quieter cooler or another few % OC performance.

That's different from "MSRP is fake because those cards don't exist and nothing is available at MSRP".

10-series MSRP is an example of a fake MSRP - FE was priced above "MSRP" and all the partner cards slotted in above FE. 4070 Ti is nothing like that, you can go buy a 4070 Ti for MSRP if you want, they definitely exist, and will likely continue to exist.

I checked the listing for 4080s and there is, unsurprisingly, currently a model available for MSRP there as well. It's backordered until tuesday (a whole 36 hours!), but, I thought you said they never restock after the initial drop?

https://www.newegg.com/pny-geforce-rtx-4080-vcg408016tfxxpb1...

Like yes you're not wrong that partners would rather make the high-margin cards and they do everything in their power to avoid selling at MSRP, but, that's because they're profit-seeking middlemen with a stranglehold on the supply of a scarce resource, not because they can't afford to make cards at MSRP.

Just like Zotac and EVGA - PNY isn't losing money on those cards either. They may not like what they're making, they'd rather sell you a corvette than an econobox, but they're not losing money either. That part is not true and is as hyperbolic as your inventory claims: they still make money, they just don't make as much as they want.

Like yup absolutely the margin is worse on an Accord than a sports car. Agreed. The dealer still isn't losing money on the econobox at MSRP, no matter how much they wail and gnash about it, and it's not good for consumers to just increase the price so middlemen make a fat margin on basic-tier shit.

People generally look back on car dealers scalping Hondas in the 80s (and cars/trucks during the pandemic) as being a bad thing, but, somehow the board partners have gotten consumers into this idea that margins for middlemen are a good thing when it's GPUs.

Yes, I evaluate it from the perspective of developing enterprise software where I need to designate extension points for a fluid number of team members. Only using CI can I balance the flexibility of offering the interfaces people need with the oversight needed.

It's also a historical fact that most forms of modern Christianity are far removed from the original teachings; but if one tried to rebuke criticism of modern Christians by saying that they are not the real thing, that would still be a "no true Scotsman". There's no contradiction here, because the religion is not defined by what it originally was or should be, but by how it's actually practiced by people who self-identify as its followers and who are conventionally identified as such by everybody else.

As I get it, there are two ways to look at the problem:

1. One is if we say that a person has a right to remain private and retains right to their image under any or some circumstances.

2. Another is if we say that a person has a right to observe and record their observations freely, always or under some circumstances.

Both are highly subjective, especially when it comes to particular conditions - that's for sure. Both could be true (or not, some may argue), and in practice they're kind of balanced - but with different places valuing one thing over another, creating a different balance.

Whatever an individual may like or dislike doesn't actually matter, except for being a data point - those in power (be it a power of democracy or authoritarianism) define the rules. If someone doesn't like the rules of the place they live in - well, there's no definite answer to that. Sometimes the ridiculous "live somewhere else" is the only practical answer (no jokes or sacrasm intended).
Ask HN: What's Your Experience with AlloyDB?
Hey everyone! We have been trying out AlloyDB in our (write heavy) use-case for about 2 months now. And I wanted to ask you for your experience with it.
I am asking because our experience has been horrible.

No independent scaling of CPU and Memory
No public IPs
No non-ha version available
No stopping of the instance possible
Performance, actually worse than CloudSQL (write heave use-case)

We moved to AlloyDB because we had good experience with Aurora and like the promise of serverless Postgres, as well as it being free initially. But since 2023 they have been charging for it, we immediately moved back to CloudSQL and cut or cost by 10x.

What has your experience been, did someone try it ? I know that supposedly they have some big increases in some read warehousy use-cases.

Not explicitly noted in original message was, reply to remarks were about examples of how that already exists in lisp without need to modify lisp.

'basic' loop in lisp is tree/heap traversal from initial outer ().

The standard loop macro just provides appropriate way/window dressing to quickly comprehend what's being done (aka while, counter loop, do while, repeat, etc).

What's refered to as generators in other languages, is implicit in how lisp traverses ().

per return a struct and not a list:
Generator approach would 'store the list of values' and return a single struct every time called until no more structs from 'original turn'.

traversal of () is the 'generic loop' in lisp. (clos or not)

set/quote discussion also left out the needed eval command.

stated 'rebinding' is already implicet in s-expressions used in lisp. request as given is an lvalue = rvalue(s) interpretation (m-expression). s-expressions are core of lisp. convertion lisp to use m-expressions instead of s-expressions would mean creating a new language.
“Losing Earth: The decade we almost stopped climate change [pdf]
>Portugal sought to lure them with tax breaks [...] Portugal, then with no taxes on crypto-derived capital gains, fit the bill [...] “We have neighborhoods now that are mainly Airbnb,” said Ana, the Portuguese teacher, “We don’t have our homes anymore.” [...] locals protest against rising costs and gentrification

Surprised nobody saw gentrification and rising CoL coming when they invited crypto asset holders and workers who earn several times more than the locals while contributing much less in taxes.

Seems like a move that only benefited the Portuguese landlords and real estate owners at the expense of the rest of the population.

If I was a Portuguese citizen I'd be pissed at such a decision that prioritizes wealthy foreign crypto and tech bros over its own citizens and make sure to vote those politicians out.

Portugal is not Dubai. It can't afford to be a tax heaven with government revenue funded by oil instead of taxes. A country like Portugal should seek to attract businesses and investors who create jobs and pay taxes there, not attract wealth hoarders who dodge taxes and who's only contribution to the local economy is making landlords richer and buying cocktails on the beach.

>The center-right Moedas, for his part, said that while clarity on crypto and taxes is welcome, “when you start taxing innovation too soon, you can kill innovation. And so I'm not aligned with the government on this.”

Oh please, taxing crypto assets is not taxing innovation. WTF are you talking about? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I read stuff like this.

Anyone who benefits positively from Buddhist practices will be unperturbed by this article (as you seem to be). That's fine; but suggesting that _everyone_ give it a chance; even in the face of (frankly valid) criticism, is toxic in my opinion.
But meditation is the main focus of zen Buddhism, which took the practice back to _what the Buddha actually did himself_ to become enlightened, which was sit under the bodhi tree and meditate until the truth came to him. Other Asian traditions have long reached the point where it's the monks and priests who do the Buddhism same as in Catholicism it's the Pope and the priests who are the main channels of actual Christianity. For example, Pure Land Buddhism relies on chanting the nembutsu, a chant that is designed to bring you to the Pure Land aka Heaven eventually, none of this is in the original Buddhism, hence why Zen and similar sects tried to strip out all the fluff and accoutrements that they considered needlessly tacked on to the original Buddhism, with the idea of returning practice back to what truth and reality means for you, because your subjective experience is necessarily unique to you, and any words or teaching added in to it are going to be trivial compared to what you find out for yourself about how the world presents to you and your life, hence the need for meditation to give you the space and time and peace to work that out.
> A longer runway puts off the scary point where you have to launch something.

Amen. It's such a common problem. And one I totally get. The first possible MVP is so far from a founder's vision that it's very easy to say, "Well, let's just add X". And then repeat and repeat and repeat.

More than a decade ago I was the technical cofounder for a former colleague. He had an idea that was really compelling at the time, one for whom the key engine of growth would be Facebook sharing. He quickly raised $1.2m from some name-brand VCs as a seed. We both had strong backgrounds in user testing, so we looked vigorously for ways to find out if our approach made sense to users.

He hit upon the idea of getting people off Craigslist under the guise of market research. Before we had built anything, he'd bring people in and have them try out a few different sites and give opinions. One of them was Facebook, which they'd log into using their own account. But what they didn't know until after was that we used Greasemonkey to generate fake newsfeed entries supposedly from their real friends.

One of our key assumptions was around viral growth, so we wanted them to react positively and possibly try to sign up for our site. What actually happened is that most people hated it. We tried a bunch of variations and they still mostly hated it. So we went to our first board meeting on Sand Hill Road and told them that the thing we all thought brilliant 6 weeks before was actually a bad idea and we had data to prove it. They were... nonplussed. Happily by then we had our next idea ready to pitch so they didn't murder us or anything, but I did worry.

The thing that we didn't learn until later was that two other companies had pitched and gotten funded for basically the same idea at about the same time. Between them they raised something like $12 million. And I forget the details now, but each of them persisted for something like 12-18 months longer than we did before they gave up.

I'm convinced that raising less made us more aggressive in our testing and more willing to pivot. And even if it didn't, I still take pride in wasting way less money on dry holes.
For Apple-adjacent references in anime, Serial Experiments Lain is hard to beat. It's full of them.

I’m referring to unlimited growth opportunities in the new paradigm of turning the planet into a protected biosphere. Not just green tourism and hospitality and all it entails such as education, but also new scientific research. Less than 10% of species are formally described and studied, and the amount of new knowledge that we can learn from studying instead of destroying nature is unfathomable. We talk a lot about how great space exploration is and how we need to travel to new planets in our Solar System to get the goods on the most pressing questions, but the reality is that we haven’t begun to study Earth in any measurable way, and we are losing species and ecosystems faster than we can learn from them. This is the unlimited growth potential.

Insight meditation is not supposed to solve your petty life problems, heck it might even exacerbate them if you do it badly. Stick to practicing sila if you feel like you aren't ready for the more challenging practices.

While Stoicism comes from a different tradition it's actually a great introduction to a good frame of mind for sila and even for the more rational-adjacent kinds of meditation practice like Zen, and one that will be especially familiar to a Western audience. Of course it's also true that many people resort to therapy in order to address these same challenges, and there's nothing wrong with that if it's your preference.
This would be true if most people in the space knew what they were doing, instead most crypto investors aren't very educated and were probably only informed about the Technolgy when Elon was promoting doge coin
But "logging everywhere" isn't necessary to log information about the state of the system. Libraries, for example, should not have any logging, or else it should be minimal and optional. One should prefer to return errors from library code that the application code then logs, with specific relevant context and only at a point where the log message would be useful.
Buddhism isn’t an ethical system. Doesn’t argue against things like having slaves either.
Unfortunately, you can't count on the enterprise's pre-existing DB to support all of ANSI SQL well. Oracle in particular deviates from ANSI in a whole bunch of well-known ways (messed-up date types, treating the empty string, '', as the same thing as NULL, etc., etc.), which are almost certain to trip up SQL which hasn't been tested against it.

EVGA quit because they knew the mining crash was going to lead to a couple of very slow years, just like after the 2018 mining crash. I've already stated my problems with their argument: they made tons of money during the mining boom, and the claims that they were losing money were limited to the deep clearance pricing they had to do after the mining crash.

You have acknowledged most of these individual points but just don't seem to accept the synthesis of the whole: the EVGA guy wasn't really presenting a fair and honest big picture, that's why GN told you to "take him with a big grain of salt" and Igor's Lab's partners said they didn't understand where he was coming from.

This may be difficult, but sometimes individuals will go to media and present a slanted narrative, especially when they have a financial interest in doing so or are generally upset. What the EVGA guy said wasn't really true, or was very narrowly true.

And to be fair, there is a lot to be upset about, NVIDIA definitely is not gracious to the partners. But if they play it right, it's a guaranteed 10% margin on all their sales. 200k cards a week times $500 ASP times 10% margin is quite a bit of money, and that's EVGA alone.
