There is: have the state take care of that as you are a citizen that pay taxes (you already are paying for this "verification") – an ID card that contains a proof of you being... you.

When I ask it for things that are obviously on stackoverflow but hard to spot or understand because they are pointlessly clever or weird, it is nigh unusable. It is a complete waste of time. Even if you paste in the stack overflow answers it will take some iterating and at that point I am teaching an unteachable AI.

> People who chase happiness as their primary meaning to exist usually are not very interesting and highly materialistic.

Personally I would have chosen this unflattering label for people who were pushed from birth into a particular career path and just followed along.
Modern superheroes overwhelmingly protect the status quo, villains challenge it and the only way the writers can make them obligatorily evil is have them kill people for no reason. Try noticing it, a lot of villains are really quite admirable apart from random, illogical, shoehorned-in violence.
I don't know enough about your legal system to be sure, but just as an option, wouldn't it be possible that the mere act of creating a my fake ID could become a felony, if it isn't already?

Just like the act of defacing your currency is illegal, even if you don't pay with that money.

For me, the safest verification is what I had to do for my first email address in Germany, which is that the postman comes to your house and verifies that you are who you claim to be. Alternatively, and pretty much equally secure, our passports include the option of digitally verifying your identity at home. However, I'm not willing to do either that for Facebook, the last option is probably not possible with US passports, and the first option would be rather expensive.
well, great minds think alike.

to be honest, your / TBL's idea is quite good!
A million is not what it used to be.

Jokes aside, I was surprised to learn that there are 24 million millionaires in the U.S. that's more than 10% the working-age population. It's still a minority of course, and probably most of them are people who saved enough throughout their whole career (while here we were talking about people who made multiple millions every year), but still I found it interesting
> ... actual humans saying they try as hard as they can to behave like a bot.

Blaming humans for desiring privacy is bad. No one here is "trying to behave like a bot".

Exaggerated example: "Oh, you don't want to show me, a random stranger on the internet, your ID? You are behaving like a crook!"
There’s going to be plenty of “art from an artist” that going to be AI art. If that gets caught enough we’re either going to have to put blinders on or find a foolproof verification third party.

Most parents won't drastically change the financial resources or personal time they commit to their kids' development. They probably can't.

But this aspect seems immediately achievable and costs little: "It is just a way of viewing children: as capable of competence, as craving meaningful work, as worthy to be included in serious discussions. We can learn to view them like that, but it is a subtle and profound shift in perception, a shift away from the way we are taught to view children."
> their anonymous sources

That's "their single anonymous source."

> the Americans have the abundantly clear motive of kneecapping the Russian economy, while increasing the value of their own oil exports.

If you're going to dismiss Russia's motives as purportedly stupid, you also need to acknowledge the stupidity of America's motives in attempting to achieve what it had already achieved.

One of the things that makes this interesting is that no one has a great motive (save the one actor that most are ready to discount due to lack of opportunity to do it--Ukraine).
For this reason alone (corpos making AI illegal to maintain for mere mortals) we should strive to make as much progress in the truly open AI as possible.

I doubt anyone is arguing to suppress a child's interest in mathematics but more against trying to squelch their interest in less obviously "worthy" pursuits in favor of making them burnish their college resumes.
You skipped over the part where we consider if the concept of a business is a good thing for the world.

In a capitalist society, these are basically competing entities seeking to maximise their own profits. This entails minimising expenses. That is, in capitalist society, businesses work to charge as much as possible, give back as little value as possible, and put as much pressure on their suppliers as possible to lower prices.

The argument that this is a net positive for society could use a little substantiation.
I would posit that much of this drive has little to do with that and more to do with anxiety about the child's future earning potential.
On a tangent, I am loving how the author is using Mastodon as a commenting service.
Quantum and Newtonian physics are both just conceptual models to help ourselves understand and predict the things around us. They're useful for describing reality but neither of them are accurate representations of the real deal. All models break down at some limits.

To imagine one model "being merely a superstructure" on another implies that the limit doesn't exist and the two models are, in fact, the same thing. If you expand that idea to all other models, they would all eventually merge into one grand unified theory that accurately explains every single occurrencence in the universe. A nice idea conceptually, but we're at best no where near that and at worst have brains that will find the nuance of the universe impossible to comprehend in totality.

Any model that is useful for understanding and predicting the universe is worth sticking with, as long as you understand the limits where it applies. If path integrals happen to unlock some new insight that seems evidentially correct, it doesn't really matter if it ties into other theories.

> it would not make Superman an illegal immigrant

It makes it an "illegal immigrant" for the author who's most likely a liberal (as they call it over there in the United States), after all he/she does write for lithub.com, I don't think there are many fans of rolling coal writing for that magazine.

Put into that perspective whatever earns his/her story liberal points is a plus, and reminding the audience how hard a life "illegal aliens" have in the US ("even Superman would have been treated as a illegal alien!") certainly gains the author those points. Bills need to be paid, ideological positions need to be strengthened, it's a constant and never-ending battle.
This is an interesting article, and it's obviously inspirational, but I think to complete the job you'd have to reverse the process, and ask what the outcomes were like for ALL children raised with the techniques he's identified.

For example, home tutoring might result in a greater number of exceptional people, but it might also lead to a higher incidence of those children going completely off the rails.

Perhaps the question might be which child-raising techniques have the strongest benefit/risk ratio.

That said, I bet most of the things in the list are largely upside.

Have the feeling this is definitely more of an American problem. I'm from a European country and the last time I have had any sort of power outage is more then 10 years ago (can't even remember it to be honest). Even with the current surge in prices the production and transmission system is still reliable as ever.
I'm from the UK. I was under the impression you could do it yourself here but couldn't find a definitive answer.

It's absolutely something I wouldn't take on myself though. Changing a light switch or rewiring a plug, sure - but I'd be guaranteed to make a huge, expensive, inefficient mess with a project like that.
I pasted error messages from code it generated. It kept generating the same compiler error eventually.
When I applied the "socratic method" and explained to it the answer based on stack overflow answers.

Ask your product to explain trademark litigation to you, then choose between paying a lot of money on legal fees and changing your name while it is still cheap.
I agree, these ignorant Rust fanboy comments don't help Rust gain any goodwill, and even convey the idea that their vocal proponents are clueless and completely out of touch with basic industry requirements. It's unthinkable for any project to just casually drop everything and go for a complete rewrite in entirely different programming languages and tech stack. But this blend of Rust fanboys keep on insisting this is a reasonable thing (only when it's Rust, oddly) and have the gall of trying to turn things upside down and make believe that it's unreasonable to not jump head first onto a major rewrite.
I don’t think so. They are social but they are not media.

Because technological progress is not an iterative process.

I agree that Open Source (and Free Software, so let's go with FOSS) works as designed. However, charging is not an option FOSS supports. At best it's accepting and no one's paying. OpenSSL, for instance, had accepted money for a long time yet the whole internet had to be scared for the money to actually start trickling in and still laughable amounts.

Where I don't agree is that FOSS is not to blame. It absolutely is. FOSS is the entrenched default. And FOSS is incompatible with requiring a payment. To require a payment one has to run a tangential business (provide support, integration services, etc.) and all the options are in conflict with the quality of the main FOSS product one way or another. FOSS makes it hard to switch to any other model and it's harder the longer the project lives.

The issue of funding is not going to be solved by FOSS because it is not the foal. We need to look past FOSS to find a solution. A good start would be to chose a different license when one starts a project. Like one of PolyForm Licenses [1] or BTPL [2]. These are not FOSS compatible but they align much better with the funding goal. And if one figures it doesn't work for the project it's easy to switch to FOSS. Much easier than the other way around, anyway.

Fun. Not to detract, and as others have said, there are other dimensions. Hardworking clever assholes can be bullies, for example.

I'd also say that very few people are inherently lazy, they're often just demotivated through misalignment of their responsibilities versus interests.

No shared memory will also mean that actor style is slower-than-single-thread-slow, when the "message-size to processing-per-actor ratio" is not right.

>Some other index fund sees that the price is attractive

Index funds do not have opinions on the attractiveness of prices. What happens in this hypothetical when one index fund has a cash inflow is that it bids on all the assets it is "short" of, which increases the price until the other index funds have "too much" of the now-higher-priced asset and decide to sell.

But generally speaking yes, there's cash or cash-equivalent in the overall market's mix, and it stays relatively constant. When these cash assets get dumped onto balance sheets, other assets get bid up until their sizes are appropriate for the amount of cash around.
Who said anything about "magic"? That's straw-manning the literature on qualia. I'd like to hear your explanations for our sensations, because I'm not aware of any that actually explains them.

There is a fabulous TV Series with Michael Gambon as Maigret which has an wonderful atmosphere. Given that they're not actually speaking French the whole thing creates a very appealing and world to imagine them in and I get the feeling of foreigners speaking English rather than English-speaking people pretending to be foreign as in most of the English repeats of the Scandinavian dramas. It's a great thing to see before reading the books because it feeds your imagination.

You can even find episodes on certain popular internet sites (though I don't know how they survive there).
I have only a static website with not too much content or traffic, I even use the free oracle VPS that they offer. It took some while to get the hang of ingress rules and opening ports in their interface in addition to the CLI but now it works and I’m not paying anything. Out of curiosity: where do you get your VPS?
Yes, you are correct, it is UB. Try this code:

void foo(const int * const p)
{
*(int*)p = 3; // UB? So sue me!
}

It compiles with g++ and clang++ with no warnings or errors. gcc and clang, too. Sure, it's UB, but the compiler won't even warn you.

I.e. it serves no purpose, other than documentation. Let's try it in D:

@safe
void foo(const int *p)
{
*cast(int*)p = 3;
}

Error: cast from const(int*) to int* not allowed in safe code
Forums are dynamic so no you can't fully static deploy that
> Without the disadvantages? What advantage does C hold over Rust if you value a composable language which is safe and expressive?

Having existing C codebases in production which are time-tested and stable and reliable is a huge advantage of having to rewrite them from scratch, don't you think?

Also, you can check out C code from 20 years ago and build it in your personal laptop with ease, and be able to do the exact same thing 20 years from now. Meanwhile, Rust still fails to put together a single specification, let alone a standard one, and relies on reference implementations that may or may not exist in a few years.
The biggest problem with it was simply that it primarily ended up in the hands of Western consumers and dev houses during the height of the FMV craze, the PC Engine CD did much better comparatively speaking because most of the things on it were actual games and it had (within Japan) wide support from nearly all major software development houses.
It's probably faster to pull in front of someone and threaten them for their vehicle than to find wherever this dart is stuck.
> Why should society care about the happiness of those people if them being happy / content slows down growth and hence the collective happiness?

This is the basic problem of what is our purpose. There's no definite answer. What if it's better to optimize towards having no unhappy people rather than average happiness?

It is not very readable, but it is very searchable. I rarely read Wikipedia articles through, mostly I skim them to read excerpts I need. Map view seems great for that.
> How could amazon ensure that all the products are legit before they are being delivered?

Better question yet, should Amazon exist in this form if it cannot ensure that all products are legit? We quite often assume that the current for of existence is the only way to go about the problem.

With the power of pki and blockchain it is trivial to create a platform (I know because I was part of a team that created one) where traceability is a feature and it is impossible to game the system the same way it is possible now with the current fulfilment situation.
I have not used apollo but to explain:

Say you have a useEffect that calls an API: maybe firebase or parse. That useEffect only gets run on the client. For the server side render: it runs the react code based on the initial props and takes that first rendering and creates the static html from that. When that static html is run on the browser it will run react and subsequent renders can update the dom.
This is a great argument not to choose a FOSS license next time.

I don't remember the original source, but there's some classic frustration with these kinds of tables in academic papers. It's a "look at us, we're good at everything!" selective cherry-picking that omits honest discussion about the limitations of the approach.

Although honestly, the red flag for me was the mention of a "field-sensitive" analysis in C. My experience doing static analysis on C code is that it tends to be so reliant on type punning that field sensitivity ends up kind of not working, at least not without significant effort on detecting and handling type punning in some manner (to say nothing of all of the fun ways people figure out how to encipher pointers).
Also depends on the car you drive.

Anecdotally, my brother decided to splurge on his childhood dreamcar (a BMW Z3, second hand of course). He found that he started getting stopped for "random checks" once every couple of trips on the motorway. The probability would also be much higher if the car was freshly washed and shiny.

He then switched back to a normal, more "boring" car, and the "random checks" stopped.
Yes this only works when you use JS to implement anything dynamic, user specific, requiring up to date (up to the second) data and so on. You can keep the static content fairly up to date.

For HN for example, you could prerender much of the content including latest
comments and get Next to keep it up to date, cache invalidating as necessary. Basically have it rebuild static pages as posts are made. Then use fetch calls or maybe sockets to get the very latest posts and keep it up to date, even live updates if you wish.

ISR is the jargon here: https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/increme...

It is a bit like a mirror of what HN does. HN will use caching so that if you are logged out you get fast renders of pages. Instead of caching, you are pregenerating and keeping it up to date.
Only ChatGPT. I usually state bullet points and pseudocode and ask for answer, or current code with request to fix the error. With good requests I usually get a working answer but sometimes need careful checking.
Deciding "we will find a solution before it's too late" is optimism. Operating with that as a default assumption is utopianism.

I am surprised I have to spell this out, HN doesn't seem to represent the levels of rigor I have come to expect.
May be true for America but not so much on houses here in Australia
I'm selfhosting a few services (a small php website w/ blog & admin, a nextcloud instance, some small django websites, and my txt rants here: https://misc.l3m.in/txt/ ).

Why txt? Because I only have 600kB down & 200kB up, and even if I can share websites with images (webp) and other files (fonts, css...), my connection is too bad to be able to share this kind of content to hundreds of visitors, like the hundreds of visitors HN is bringing to my website when I share a post and it reach the front page (with a peak of 75k unique visits on a txt file in one day, that's nearly 1 visit per second, if 2 or 3 people are visiting some of my bigger pages, then my upstream connection is all taken by the visitors).

On top of that, robots that are crawling my websites are a real pain; out of the 7k requests I got yesterday on all my websites, nearly 6k are from crawlers (and 500 from bots trying to break my websites), that's ~75MB of data. Some of them are spamming my websites with 1 request per second for hours, so I created a new rule to ban them using fail2ban.

But even with all of this, selfhosting feel liberating ; I own my data, all of it is saved here in my house, I control my server (an old refurbished dell optiplex fx160 with 3 gigs or ram, an intel atom 220, and an old hdd of 500GB), and my websites are still faster than the vast majority of the web.
