But controlled burns and fires that otherwise do not cause complete incineration of the symbiotic trees/plants would not result in the death of the fungi. However, with the ground cleared, the spores would travel further.

There are also fire-dependent plants that are reproduction-adapted for these conditions.

"Some cones, such as those of lodgepole pine and sequoia, are pyriscent, as well as many chaparral shrubs, meaning they require heat from fire to open cones to disperse seeds."

> You realize they're just hash maps / dictionaries right?

That's only a conceptual idea. In reality, the JIT uses real arrays and dynamically generated structs.

You can't actually implement them directly as conceptually described anyway. You have to have a has of boxed pointers and when you get around to adding functions with types, things get really weird. The class implementation is actually much more simple in many ways (not to mention being much faster).

> You realize you can write everything you wrote pretty directly in C++

I know you can't write curried functions "pretty directly" in C++ (Python and Lua are the languages I was discussing directly and both are far better for UI work than C++). Give it a try and post the results. I'd be very impressed if it took even just twice as many lines of typical C++ code.
I wonder if there's a step-change where single-celled animals with complex behavior are actually smarter than the simplest multiple-celled animals with a nervous system.
Where do you come up with this information?

Just look at the weekly anti-Microsoft articles around here, including this one you're commenting on.
> If they were gonna destroy critical international infrastructure wouldn’t it make more sense to blow up something else?

No, if they were going to make a threat and capacity demonstration against other, active natural gas pipelines in the region, destroying an idle natural gas pipeline makes a lot more sense than “something else”.

(There’s a certain extent to which it doesn’t make sense to make idle threats without the will to carry them out, but that clearly hasn’t factored into Russian action related to pressuring European countries over Ukraine policy.)
Political philosophy? Different cultures approach life in different ways. Where’s the politics in that?

Families sleeping together is the the absolute opposite of post modern.

Letting a baby cry out for its parents while it’s alone is a ‘good thing’ makes no intuitive sense. Feeding babies with bottles became normal for some reason until we understood that it was more for the benefit of the companies selling formula and decided ‘gasp’ breastfeeding might be preferred.

You keep your individualism? It’s the only thing you know, you have no idea what life is like otherwise. You just assume the culture you live in is the best version of how to do things.

No, it's not harmless to repeatedly claim things without evidence. No, people do not make their own judgments.

When reality and your expectations are out of sync, it's probably best not to call it arrogance.
I would argue that it easily falls under section 2, just like blowing up a bridge with nobody on it for strategic purposes. But you raise an interesting argument and I don't know what current jurisprudence or guidance is on the topic.

Now that you've accepted that we should censor fraud speech you have to define the grey line between unacceptable fraud and acceptable disinformation.
I agree, that's not what I think was extreme about your position. I think you've invented straw men in this comment and your previous comment.
Oh shit, I missed it as well.
Thanks for turning me on to Go Note Go. I’ve been contemplating a similar system for quite some time.

How often do you review your “Go” notes? I’m finding that’s now becoming the bottleneck in my mental model - I’ve reduced most of the friction in my output, but now there’s more activation energy for retrieval.

I’ve been using Obsidian for a week now, which I hope will pay dividends in time. Do you have a particular workflow or stack for your “second brain?”
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has used her position to push use of the term so it's not exactly fringe.
Yeah, exactly. There are tons of schools outside of this that still shape kids into productive members of society, even if non-elite. Places like University of New Haven (acceptance rate 94%, founded 1920), Central Washington University (88%, 1891), Western Washington University (96%, 1886), Stetson University in Florida... The list goes on. The vast of US college students attend these decent and non-selective schools.
I want to defend this decision from the naysayers here. The geopolitical implications are fascinating, and the technical aspects of how the operation was (may have?) been carried out are an interesting topic of discussion. There are increasingly fewer alternative communities of intelligent people on the internet where these things can be discussed. Why take that away?

If the comments turn into a flame war, blame the commenters, not the article.
> I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process.

Spoiler: it won't get easier :)

I'm sure everyone has a different experience, but I find professional life to be much harder than being a student, even a student preparing for very selective admission process. You often work as hard as an adult (if not harder), plus have more responsibilities.
>We're not dealing with an either/or case here. The system is dealing with the problem in it's own way.

LOL is this an actual response? What did you substantively say here? Because I don't see anything.

>Previously people thought that non-human-systems couldn't win at Chess or Go either, or do mathematics, or understand speech. Just because a particular system doesn't work like a human, doesn't mean it can't meet or exceed (even dramatically exceed) human capabilities in some field.

That's not a legal argument. I'm not sure how that isn't clear. But you can't go "Your honor, people thought no one would win at chess, therefore, this isn't copying because it is exhibiting thought" Do you read yourself at all?
I got the cheapest option.

It cost me $30 to add 256gb of storage in the form of a microSD card.

I’m very happy with it and I think I got 95% of the satisfaction with minimal cost. There are some moments when I wish I had the better screen or the dock, but not really.
It's okay, it's totally legitimate to feel overwhelmed. You're right, no one should be shouting at you. And you're also right that you can find another job. It's also fine to go ahead and work for an enterprise if you feel it could ease the tension for you or you just feel like it. I often miss being an IC as well - it's so much simpler and the mental barriers are comforting.

Do try psychotherapy. At the very least, talking about things you're going through can bring you relief and possibly actionable insights.

I strongly recommend some kind of sport as a hobby. There's something powerful about routinely choosing to be uncomfortable (to a tolerable level) and seeing your body and mind transform as a result. Not to mention it becomes really (oddly?) fun at some point.
Plenty of anecdotes about Alfred Hitchcock and Kubrick making suggestions about "the casting couch". Wasn't just Polanski Weinstein...
Not OP, but I think I get what you mean - my own son, who just started college, went through the same grind and honestly had been on it since elementary school. So technically, no, nobody has to do this stuff, and in reality there's a low ROI for most of it. My son (chose to) do a lot of extracurriculars to fluff up his college application in the hopes of getting into an MIT or a Stanford... and still didn't get in. He could have gotten away with doing a lot less than he did and still would have ended up in the same (good) state school he ended up in. But kids in affluent areas are surrounded by suggestions that you do have to do this stuff to get into a "good" school, so they get caught up in it.
There's a long history of antisocial-behavior-prevention stuff in peer to peer sharing applications. Overall they're usually a good thing.

I'm with them on this. Sequential downloading leads to a bias in what pieces are available.

If you're not sequentially downloading, you're contributing evenly back to the swarm. If you sequential-download, you're not...and you're potentially leaving the stream much sooner (if you don't finish watching etc.)

A lack of POSIX compliance generally means a lack of data integrity and basic correctness. In a file system that could result in data loss, data corruption, and the like.
> The C4 attached to the pipelines would be triggered by a sonar buoy dropped by a plane on short notice, but the procedure involved the most advanced signal processing technology. Once in place, the delayed timing devices attached to any of the four pipelines could be accidentally triggered by the complex mix of ocean background noises throughout the heavily trafficked Baltic Sea—from near and distant ships, underwater drilling, seismic events, waves and even sea creatures. To avoid this, the sonar buoy, once in place, would emit a sequence of unique low frequency tonal sounds—much like those emitted by a flute or a piano—that would be recognized by the timing device and, after a pre-set hours of delay, trigger the explosives. (“You want a signal that is robust enough so that no other signal could accidentally send a pulse that detonated the explosives,” I was told by Dr. Theodore Postol, professor emeritus of science, technology and national security policy at MIT. Postol, who has served as the science adviser to the Pentagon’s Chief of Naval Operations, said the issue facing the group in Norway because of Biden’s delay was one of chance: “The longer the explosives are in the water the greater risk there would be of a random signal that would launch the bombs.”)

This is the hardest part to believe in the piece. Making this kind of very technical change (timer to remote detonation) at essentially the last minute seems very hard to pull off. I think the piece could have benefitted from more than one view (besides Postal) on how difficult such a change would be.

That said, that last quote by Postal offers an alternative explanation. Namely, that the explosives were rigged for remote detonation but exploded accidentally.
The existence of telemetry is the main reasons why I avoid using new software anymore. Really, opt-in, opt-out, it doesn't matter. I can't trust that any of those mechanisms actually work, that if I opt out, an update won't reenable it, or that the data collected is actually limited and anonymized.

I am glad it's just keybase.pub that's affected atm.

I disagree, but assuming this were true, that'd mean doing so would offer an opportunity to sow discord amongst the allied nations. Like cops telling a suspect "your buddy confessed already".
I would expect down-tier companies to still be hiring and at higher age thresholds, but in general too many programmers still applies. There will be openings but they will be low pay, probably <= median income. A Pareto principle situation where 80% of the comp is earned by 20% of the programmers (those at big tech), which we already sort of have and will probably get worse.

Of course this is just my generally pessimistic viewpoint. Could be wrong, I'd note however that I used to be more optimistic. 10 years or so ago, I did not expect the industry and my personal career to be in the sorry state they are in now. If I had been _less_ optimistic I would have made better choices, purely to mitigate risk. So I'm paying for that misplaced optimism now.
The skeuomorphic user interface below "A tool for purists and mad scientists alike" is really nice, but I doubt that is really how the app looks like.
Yes, I looked it up a couple times over the years and it was astonishing close to whoever's law that says 1% of users produce 90% of UGC.

I think it was something like 1% of total readers and 5% of logged-in readers but I'd have to check again to be sure.
> These comments are disappointing. In the midst of rampant disrespect of the user we have story after story such as this. Instead of discussing what is the ethics are of such behavior and where boundaries should be drawn, we get a number of complaints that there is no packet content provided?

It's a distraction, an attempt at deflection. The real question here is: why do these fresh Windows installs need to connect to "Data Research" 3rd parties at all?

I'm in a similar boat. I work full time but limited in opportunity there. spend a lot of time on youtube.

So, I'm working on a personal blog/platform, kind of, exactly for what your talking about. I've decided to be more productive but I haven't really settled on one idea.

I think there are 4 phases to being successful on your own.

My general experience has been settings < registry << group policy.

Microsoft will update settings in an update at a PM's whim.

They may break registry key bindings due to code changes.

But they generally don't break gpo functionality, because this causes issues for $$$ enterprise customers.

Downside: Believe they cut group policy functionality in <Pro OS versions.
I don't think it sounds that difficult to pull off. The underwater communication technology is probably something already developed, they just had to modify the devices with a new trigger mechanism.

I'm surprised at the reaction here. There's plenty of stuff posted on HN I don't agree with, but don't think I've ever felt so strongly about a submission that I'd want the rest of the HN community not to read it because of my personal reaction to it. If you don't like something you read on HN, why not let the rest of us read it and make up our own minds?

Thanks dang. I'm glad HN has moderators that make calls like.
Agreed. And all you have to do is understand that the fallout from the US destroying this pipeline in secret would be devastating and pointless. Russia reunited NATO and gave the US a gigantic upper hand and what would be the value in throwing all of that away? It just doesn’t make any sense.

People say “but the gas companies” but that’s just an immature conspiracy fairy tale that projects far, far too much power into the hands of but one corporate constituency among many.

The simple answer is that Russia did it. And since gas was never coming back online anyway might as well blow it up and cause chaos. It also helped further made sure that Russian energy companies wouldn’t go behind Putin’s back thinking if they depose him they can sell oil again.
It'd be cool if you could provide a brief explanation of what each quote means to you. Quotes can sometimes be hard to interpret when they're out of context.
The terms of the bet are fairly stringent (2 hour interviews, both sides get some say on judges). Given that, there's no way Kurzweil could win given current tech. He will have to hope for a lot more progress before 2029.
Oof yeah that's a faux pas. Apps also frequently use the wrong setting and try to set their language using location rather than the user's selected language.

This is one of those situations where it feels like the issue creator is being annoying and pedantic, but ultimately they are probably correct. I actually have a lot of sympathy for Izzy's initial "what's the big deal" reaction, but I think it is also explained quite clearly what the issue is.

IMO the issue is mainly with "authorized" and "acceptable", which are very vague and could certainly be construed as an attempt to limit user freedom. They are so vague and nebulous that I suspect the author simply slapped them on without giving them much thought because they sound like legalistic, CYA-esque language. Beyond the hassle of changing the code and pushing the changes to the IzzyDroid repo, I can't imagine the author could have much of an objection to removing them - they're certainly not doing much to actually protect him.

The discussion of the reference to "legal" use is more interesting to me. You could argue that even that is a restriction on freedom 0, but equally, you could argue that the language does not actually take away any legal right/freedom, as (by definition) you don't have the right to do illegal things in the first place. (It is not generally considered illegal to do things that are crimes in other countries, as laws are not generally considered to have extra-territorial effect.)

Social media, and more controversially a public orientation towards their 'values' defining their identities, which maybe has roots in some nice thinking and especially in trying to get kids with non-standard identities to not feel bad about it - but which ultimately causes a morass of confusion for all the kids.

I think kids need at least some structure and guidance on social development and this 'chose your own identity' thing is leaving them listless.

We don't become men and women arbitrarily, we grow into those roles with guidance. Given a new 'social convention' towards basically not defining those things, we're seeing a lot of kids fall off the side of the boat.

When you add constant social media into the mix, which reinforces all of these things from peers, other toxic things, life pressures it's all too much. You used to have to 'compete' against kids from HS, now it's a national competition.

I can't fathom how hard it is just to be a regular kid.

Reading your comment again, I can see it now. I misinterpreted "knew this was the ethical thing to do, but turned a blind eye" as "knew there was an ethical problem, but turned a blind eye".

Well, in fairness, OP is right: everybody would be under a lot less stress if all of their needs were met for the entirety of their lives with no expectation to ever contribute anything. He's missing the realization that somebody has to contribute something to meet the needs of all the people whose needs are being met regardless of their contribution, which is why communism always fails in practice.
