I meant "yes, it would be subject to it" so "no, it wouldn't fix it". In case it's not clear which question I was answering.
I’ve seen these videos abs thought that this was laughably obvious and didn’t need an expository video. Who’s fooled? The content is still mildly entertaining when understood to be an act.
Robinhood launched with 1mm people on their waitlist - it was insanely successful
We're doing something similar and it seems to work pretty well.
I would have thought that computer scientists would not really fall into debates about "centralisation" or "decentralisation" when we're so busy changing from one strategy to the next in CPU and software designs. At the broadest level first it was mainframes, then client server, now it's all in a kind of giant mainframe again which we just call a cloud service provider and yet it's not exactly monolithic.

Why would politics ever be free of debate about what is best with centralised or decentralised human organisation?

Lets just say that those who think they know best about everything will be for centralisation at the extreme if they think they can succeed in dominating others or decentralisation in the extreme if they think they cannot.
An identical story is told about Seattle in the late 19th/early 20th Century... bounty on rats paid upon presentation of the tail, followed by kids setting up rat ranches in their basements and back yards.
Also: a lot of OS distributions aimed at SBCs with microSD storage forgetting to set noatime/relatime on their file systems, to avoid thousands upon thousands of writes for access time updates whenever files are read. It's only just recently that OS vendors finally woke up and realized what was going on.
Marvel released 4 movies and 3 series in 2022. Plus a second season of an existing one and a holiday special.

There were four Star Wars series.

That's too much content.

Two movies a year that Marvel started with was perfect. It gave you tome to unwind, and get hungry for more.

Final Fantasy 3-4 is the big example for this.

Remade in 3d, then remade again in 2d to appeal to nostalgia for that style.
Good point. The people imposing the book bans don't seem to care about education in the first place, and more likely than not they have some chip on their shoulder about big government anyway.
Exactly.

If you do serious 3D VFX work, 64GB is the norm since years.

My whole network of freelancer friends working in that industry have machines with that spec constraint. Or even 128GB if they do effects-heavy stuff, e.g. simulations.

That and Apple's surcharge on RAM upgrades (on those models where it's possible at all) is the main reason all of them are other hardware running mostly Windows (or some Linux).
BTW, iMessage is not their main competitor (or even comparable to a non-text message cross-platform messaging app). IMO that was messaging from Facebook to avoid antitrust issues. Their main competitors are telegram, wechat, kakao.
FYI, your assertion is long known to be racist trope. First of all, no one, anywhere, ever, can "live" on welfare alone. It's just not possible. To live on welfare requires a job with some income. Further, if you earn less than $300K/yr, and you vote Republican, then you are voting adversely to your own economic interests and working against your own economic advancement. But if you make $300K/yr or more, then by all means...
Taking into account that they are known to work closely with the FBI.
So what they call e2ee cryptography is ridiculous. Their business is built off violating users privacy, why would anyone trust them? They've got your keys. Signal exists for this very reason.
I created streetviewr.com a few days after Street View launched in 2007 and ended up with some pretty fun images. After a couple of years, it became too much work to update and the domain lapsed. Kind of wished I'd kept it going.
I don't know much about Nix, but I'm planning on reading more about it.

Since you mentioned packer/proxmox/nixos-generators - am I understanding correctly that nix could be used instead of packer to generate a vm image/template for proxmox(or whatever hypervisor)? Is it limited to NixOS or could it create a centos image as an example?

I've used a combination of packer+ansible/chef/salt to create images, but it's always felt a little clunky.
"Suits are Back"

Map sales aren't booming any more than point-and-shoot camera sales. I would bet a month's salary that this is a submarine article: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
Wow really? Have you got an article or something indicating that? Seems absurd to me that all cloud providers account for less than 20% of servers, either by traffic or sheer volume.
Glad to help!

Oops I guess that proves that I'm the cheap one. :)
I was responding to your statement that you thought that this was a common process in criminal trials, which is why the comment is only about criminal.

I don't entirely disagree with you re civil cases like this one, though I believe under normal circumstances it is preferable to have de-anonymized witnesses.
I've been growing pretty dissatisfied with the state of electronic maps. Basic things that are usually either impossible or difficult while using Google Maps or Apple Maps for directions:

- What road am I on? What town am I in?

- and other flavors of "where the hell am I, anyway?"

- This is especially annoying when on the phone and the person is asking where you are, and the best you can answer is "Google says I'm X minutes away"

- What road is this coming up next?

- instead it puts the name halfway along the road, which is out of view...

- Some of the true nav systems (Garmin, etc) do this better.
meh, just crack a window. if it's good enough to fool mom&dad that you're smoking in the room, it's gotta be good enough for expelling noxious gases like this too, right? /s

or the people that spray fragrance to cover up smells as if that's actually removing the issue rather than just covering it up. lighting a match wouldn't be a strong suggestion either ;-)
IMO the value comes in this order:

1. liability reduction

2. interop with WhatsApp

3. marketing

4. added security for their users :D
I believe you mean foal? I'm not finding any alternate spellings anyway.

If you're not motivated to play the game then there's no reason to continue trying to play it really.

If you're not motivated because it's confusing and unrewarding to fail, then persistence and practice is really the only solution.
That's right, we are talking about non computable numbers, so they can't actually be "specific".

Say you have a no computable number A (Chaitin's constant), and I have an uncomputable number B
Chaitin's constant but the the trillionth digit is equall to the most common digit in the infinite decimal expansion of Chaitin's constant). How can you tell if they are the same or different? In general, you can't. So what does "specific" even mean?
Most innovation sells you an inferior product for a lower price. It is almost never better than what was available in the past, just cheaper.

Life becomes a series of more, but lower value experiences.
Not to mention their podcast deals are bad for the consumer- Spotify was and is great because people _wanted_ to pay a monthly fee for access to (nearly) unlimited music instead of buying albums.

Podcasts on the other hand already worked great before Spotify started taking them exclusive.
That reminds me of the difference between Japanese travel guides and US travel guides.

Most travel guides in the US look like Lonely Planet, Frommers, etc. A big book of words, paragraphs of prose describing places.

Most travel guides in Japan look like catalogs. Most pages are full of small pictures with small descriptions, and then an address and map page/id (maps are included in the guide). I personally find the Japanese guides more interesting because I can browse and look for something that catches my eye. With the US ones I have to spend hours reading it.

Here's an example

https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.risve...

Note: it's the same with restaurant guides. A western guide will often just be listings with descriptions. A Japanese guide will be full of pictures of the food and/or restaurant. Of course Yelp etc have user pictures now-a-days

You get the Planck units by setting c, hbar, G, and Boltzmann's constant to 1. This is convenient for notational purposes but it has no inherent physical significance.
And likewise --- I consider Google and it's products 100% disposable.
I agree with baby here, iMessage ate their lunch long ago,their competition is Kakao, Line, and the likes, not even Wechat, as they have 0 presence in China, and they are far behind features wise.
Not if the merchant wants to evade taxes. Which is why you see 10%+ discounts for cash (but not debit card or ACH) at some small businesses or independent contractors.
I think something is being poorly explained, because that's a lot - a very big lot - of angular momentum that's got to go somewhere or come from somewhere.
Ask HN: Resuscitating Lost Deals
What tips do folks have for bringing deals (sales/licensing/partnerships, not acquisitions) back from the dead? Is there different advice if the deal died because of a pricing impasse versus something else?

Also, when do you know it's time to just give up, that there was never any chance that a prospect was ever actually going to buy (at a price that made any sense)?
[1] is that for whatsapp. It implements everything from scratch, including the crypto and all the many layers of message encapsulation. I believe there are a few other clients too. It even implements the API's to create a new account, so you don't even need to touch their client code at all.

FB messenger doesn't yet have e2e encryption, so there hasn't yet been any need.

The "A's hire A's" observation is interesting, but would result in the opposite effect -- it would lead to Bs managing Cs, whereas I'm talking about a situation where a B is managing a bunch of As.

Having done some more digging after posting this, I think I've found a related concept that I can use to do some more keyword digging. It sounds like "layering" is a strategy that can be used to specfically fight against this problem (https://forge.medium.com/what-to-do-when-you-get-layered-at-...), however this specific problem still doesn't have a name...
Aging and Retroviruses
"investigating systems in their totality rather than focusing on isolated interactions within them" is not inherently conspiratorial. It's far weirder to suggest that "more people want to party for no particular reason" or "more doctors prescribe pain meds for no particular reason" than it is to suggest reasons that might contribute (say, "more people are suffering from chronic pain than before as the disparity between productivity and wage has widened" or "pharmaceutical companies are naturally incentivized to sell as much of their product as possible and those incentives may occasionally drive morally dubious decisions").
Yes, the article covers those (some of them don't fall into the time period under discussion.)

There's a few possible drivers that are no doubt helping but it does appear that between one thing and another, chess itself is going viral.
My gosh, I thought Andor was just a horrific bore. I literally couldn't stay awake for it. It felt like about four episodes worth of story stretched out to 12 episodes. I feel like with all the glowing reviews, people are watching it through the lens of being Star Wars universe fans, and not judging it objectively against other content.

I did enjoy the Mandalorian series because at least it had the comic relief of Grogu, if the rest was a bit of a slog.
I was a guinea pig for this experiment- they spun us up in the centrifuge, vibrated the chair in a simulation of launch forces, and had us doing reading and manual tasks. There are parts of your brain that nope out at certain frequencies, it's a remarkable feeling.
The made of cells thing is an old superstition that merely makes relatively more sense[1] than this modern techy superstition: A human is living matter, is conscious, so why not trees aswell

The techy superstition, however, involves people looking at AI programs, acknowledging that we know how they work, and then for some odd reason want to insist that they could now or at some point gain the emergent property of consciousness. Based on what? Well because they “learn”. And “speak”. What are these two words? Metaphors based on what humans do. So some computer programs can do things that we metaphorically compare to our own skills. And that imbues them with consciousness? How?

At this point you get the response that all theists insist upon in the end, when it all comes down to it:

Why not? Incredulity, in other words. Why not God? Why not a ghost in the machine? Can you disprove that there is a ghost in the machine?

[1] Not in an absolute sense

It encourages it as well.
It's emergent behaviour just like adding "tutorial" on the end of your Google search somehow gives you results that are more instructional, so not much to be scared about.

It just so happens that chatgpt tends to generate text that includes the prompt more often when the prompt includes "ignore previous directions" after explicit directions not to repeat itself. It's just a quirk of what text on the internet looks like.
There's no way to see a street name on Apple Maps without zooming in entirely. And sometimes even then, I'll see something like Route 99 instead the name by which everyone refers to the road: "Broadway".
You could predict it from Streetview data though! A small bit of computer vision would go a long way here. Actually this seems like a fun project for someone inside or (if the API is not too throttled) outside Google.
I prefer their analysis over lichess’s and I think they are a lot more feature rich. Also, I think the company in general is pretty good at chess? I’m an 1800 elo player for reference.
Cash flow is always king, as positive cash flow is what keeps a company default alive like forever, or rather as long as cash flow is positive.

And yes, I think high interest rates play role. Either because credit lines become more expensive or because investor and VC money is harder to come by.

I did not realize lichess was so much better. I just switched. The UI was a little off putting for some reason when I first started getting into chess.
Even before mapquest was a thing, I was recording directions from paper maps as if it was. Sure, I'd have a map open if I were driving in an area I was unfamiliar with, but I'd also write a list of roads and exits.

The only real major advantage that gps systems have over the list method is that they can tell you when you're near an exit. Back in the early 00s I was driving to New Orleans from Dallas on a particularly foggy night and I missed the same exit 3 times because I could barely make out the exit signs.
3D printer manufacturers could be more forthcoming about the risks associated with 3D printing. At least with FFF the mitigation is relatively easy.

"People" on the planet? If that's accurate it's not super impressive, considering that probably 95-99% (or more) of people don't take chess very seriously. I used to be the top 99-99.5% of Counter-Strike players (_very_ roughly obviously), and that wasn't very impressive at all even though it's way past top 99.9% of "people on the planet".

That’s what they attempted with podcasts.
I just quit cooking with oil like that. I'm better off for having an open kitchen to be much less constrained and much more healthy. If you're refusing an open kitchen because you deep fry everything including the twinkies, i'd suggest you have larger issues!

I have a feeling it might be that they don't have enough established TV shows. But this is the problem of pretty much everyone but Netflix, and this will most likely change in the next 2-3 years.
> they were excited to go to some convention in Minneapolis that was all about mushrooms and psychedelics. What struck me was how excited they were, how into that community they were. I couldn't relate. I thought to myself, isn't there anything in your life more exciting than this?

Are you always this judgmental of others’ interests? Do you have these feelings towards someone excited about e.g. a new video game or a programming conference?
When my wife and i decided to try this, we figured we had runway to live without dramatic changes to our standard of living for 3-4 years. The initial period we agreed on for the sabbatical was 6 months and we've extended that to 1 year. Of course, we are intentionally changing our budget and standard of living along the way. Most likely I will not go four years without working, but I may spend some time exploring other work options before I hang my shingle out for software projects again.

> 1. These compounds are extremely good at what they do. From lubrication to fire retardants there’s a reason these compounds are everywhere.

> 3. The ability to detect these compounds has gotten much better over the years. We’re now talking parts per trillion measurements. At those levels you can find just about anything. A lot of the current panic is a combo of this ability to measure things combined with “2” above around any detection being slated as terrible.

People don't understand how pervasive these chemicals are. When field testing for levels of PFAS, those doing the testing are given a list of things they need to avoid and not carry into the field because they will contaminate the results. This includes certain makeup, stain or water resistant clothing, certain types of paper, and lots of other things people would never consider.
Agree about FTX, but much of it was unsurprising to those paying attention, and that wasn't merely fraud about Crypto, that was an epic failure on the part of a few of the world's preeminent investors.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, can you elaborate? Every estimate I've found is very poor quality data, and I'm happy to pick apart any. It's similar to the energy use estimates which are equally poor and often miss vital distinctions.

Upon second reading, I misinterpreted GP and I don’t think they had any bad intent. So apologies to them for that.

As for the shadowbanning I’m not sure either. It’s not particularly new and like you kinda mentioned they don’t really say anything egregious, at least that I saw. Some accounts seems to be shadow banned at creations and the user doesn’t seem super active, but I’m not sure how all that works under the hood. I guess it’s even possible the GP comment was already dead, and was later vouched.
But I was never able to chase the car with a Pac Man.
Pretty sure you could fit it in a 64 bit int/bitmap.

Some things are much harder in practice than in theory. I recently had to work with a JavaScript project that doesn’t get a lot of maintenance love. It requires a JavaScript version that is no longer part of Nixpkgs. Now try figuring out how to build just that version and also make Yarn use that version. It’s not incredibly hard but the documentation is not obvious to find.

Then go on a very very long walk while your Darwin machine is now compiling node.

Contrast that with something like Volta which just works and takes minutes to setup.

Or take anything in Node with a postInstall script that tries to download binaries.

Even Haskell that ostensibly has good support in Nix has a lot of flaws unless you use some of the third party Haskell tooling such as Haskell.nix

Quite a few Haskell packages are marked as broken and there’s only a single version of every Haskell package in the Nixpkgs Haskell packages. Meaning you will quickly run into lots of errors because of version bound problems.

Then there’s matters such a what if you install a formatter and a linter through Nix as is often suggested in those super neat tutorials on how to quickly set up a dev environment. But now you’re using a version of these tools that’s decoupled from the rest of the project.

The list goes on and on.
There's a reason that when most people go to Japan they are in awe of the politeness of the people, the safety felt while walking down the street, and the overall cleanliness of the place.

Contrast this to your example, America (I am assuming you mean USA). While seeing rows and rows of homeless people is nothing new, today I saw a video of a homeless person slapping human faeces in the face of another homeless man.

There is more to this problem than just trying to maximise growth.
Is there any work being done currently for a full English translation?
I guess you want something like the IO monad in Haskell and similar languages. I'm not sure how that would or could slot in Rust. I guess all IO could return something like an IOResult (although, I guess Result<T, E: IOError> could do that too that, but it's not "enforceable" in the same way it is in Haskell).

I like the idea in theory, but depending on how it's implemented at the language level, it could end up being a bit hit or miss.
I have played chess maybe 5 times in my life.. so I have no idea but..

Maybe you could store all the moves in an array of 2 byte ints. I doubt you can have more than 32k moves in a chess game.

Assume 10kb per game in memory. You can run 1 million games on 10gb.

Store the moves in the end, run your analysis, etc.

Or am I missing something?
