I generally agree with you. I believe it is all about the culture and by extension the systems which have evolved over time to govern the political process.

I took objection however with "people do not fall prey so easily to misinformation like they would in other countries [...]". People as individuals are as prone to believe anything they read or hear as they are in any reasonably developed and educated country.

The key difference to me seems to be that the political system offers fewer incentives for political actors to act destructively. Proportional representation and multi-member districts mean nobody can assume they will win a majority alone, and a strong pull towards consensus (multi-party governments) means no party will ever govern alone. Everywhere, including in Switzerland, any political party will use information for a certain benefit or advantage, and "misinformation" is just the derogative term for that process, usually from the vantage point of the political opponent. However, there is less to gain from it when you need other parties to find an acceptable compromise and bring forward your objectives.

If you're assuming hydrogen is green, you may as well assume you can simply make jet-fuel equivalent biochemicals. Right now most of the hydrogen comes from natural gas, so that's not so helpful. But fertilizers that might make biochemicals come from hydrogen that comes from natural gas.

And like hydrogen, with lots of infrastructure costs, shipping biological feedstocks and fertilizers around also causes emissions and lowers energy returns.

I would not bet on hydrogen for air travel, unless you mean lighter than air craft then maybe with careful design. For planes there's enough existing bio-based options that are simply liquids and much easier to handle. Batteries probably make more sense than liquid fuel in a car if you're assuming the liquid fuel comes from renewables.

If that's the case you might as well use the starting energy (electricity) and use it directly rather than converting to liquids and then back again.
Sound like you are probably just overpaying for bandwidth and/or DDoS protection.

It's clear, for example, that a toaster doesn't have any conscious experiences

So anthropic. We can agree that it is on the opposite end of a spectrum though. A spectrum that we define out of a single point (“us”, and mostly “I”). We can also say that a toaster is a part of your consciousness instead, like e.g. your arm but less noisy. But then you are a part of a dog’s consciousness as well.

Consciousness is probably best described as just a field in a complexity space, not a discrete set of localized phenomenons. It has a near-zero value in a physical projection of a toaster’s concept, but is that projection even useful?
Agreed. For those who haven't read Denis' statement about this, a big discussion of it appeared on HN a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34780859
Yes “essential” can mean different things. Since social media didn’t exist until I was in my 40s and plenty of people like me lived and thrived without it I will argue it’s not fundamental or characteristic. If it all went offline tomorrow many people would flip out, like smokers suddenly deprived of cigarettes. But they wouldn’t die and wouldn’t lose any of their essence.
As someone who teaches soldering since years, the one thing you should realize is:

A soldering iron is not a paint brush, that means if you try to put solder onto the iron and then "paint" it onto the connection it will not work well

Solder flows to the places where it is hot enough. So if you wanna solder to form a connection between a lead and a pad you need to heat up both enough to make the solder melt if it touches that part.

It can totally be the case that your iron cannot supply that amount of heat, especially if the tipp is oxidized and it is a cheap iron.

Also: different types of solder have different melting temperatures.

Finally: keep everything clean. The iron, the PCB, the parts

> forced to speak a different language

It’s very weird to me that you view my choice to use different words as somehow forcing something on others. Culture shifts and changes and there are always people responsible for participating in those changes. Yes sometimes people have used violence to change the language and of course that has generally been horrific. But my choice to simply tweet differently is well within the bounds of the type of normal human change that happens in a healthy society. I’m not forcing anyone to do anything.

Caveat _extremely_ emptor: This code works on my machine, and I have no recollection of how it came to be that way. There are undoubtedly bugs, both obvious and subtle, in both halves. The Go side is a pile of garbage (in no small part because of the countless interfaces it has to implement).

It is EXTREMELY unlikely that either the server or extension is compatible with its original counterpart. The filesystem layout itself has been reorganized more along the lines of /sys conventions.
Perhaps a better model might be to look at word frequency analysis, and highlight words that are used substantially more frequently than in typical English text.
To say that it fell short is a gross understatement. Alpha Centauri is one of the greatest games of all time. Beyond Earth isn't even a good Civilization game.

There are very, very few games out there that have something to say about philosophy. Alpha Centauri is a tour de force. It lets you explore many different philosophies of government and societal ethics. It continues the conversation that began with Plato's Republic, a multi-millennia-old debate about what constitutes an ideal society. It lets you experiment and build your own vision of utopia, while clashing with other visionary founders and their competing ideas.

It's absolutely fascinating and addictive stuff! I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys thinking about philosophy, as well as anyone who enjoys 4X games.
If you actually check the version numbers, it's actually the release version (instead of the nightly) with unofficial branding.
Not surprising, or? It can do all these things for which plentiful examples exist out there quite perfectly, but everything else that requires true more complex understanding of things, transfer of knowledge, or where only little documentation and less examples exist... not really.
It's relatively fast (probably could be faster than NVMe if optimized, i did not rtfm) and it is available. it's not the most horrible of ideas. I am fairly fairly certain lots of applications will load assets into vram and then evict them from system memory. Why not leverage this for general purpose use if it makes sense (after taking into account the security implications of course)?
I suppose its more on the hype cycle than a bubble.

Seeing that a big chunk of the use case is p2p. That’s difficult to do well without a listening API, SO_REUSEPORT and/or UPnP (or other port mapping protocols). If p2p is an explicit use case someone should prototype how that could work and also make it better/simpler than WebRTC before putting a new proposal forward for the entire web.

Since this is meant for high trust anyway, perhaps just shipping the more familiar Node APIs for tcp/udp would be better? That would let people do cool things (including p2p) that actually works, and it’s pretty battletested. Or maybe I’m missing something? It was a while ago I used that.

Another thought: don’t we have too many streaming protocols already? Do we really need SSE, WebSocket, WebTransport and now raw sockets as well? It’s a lot, (but not this project's fault)

I heard a new banger quote from John Stuart Mill the other day:

> He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.

There's an easy test to see if you understand someone's position in a disagreement. Just summarize their position back to them. They'll tell you if you got it right.

> a modicum of sensitivity towards historically disadvantaged minorities is the end of civilization.

This absolutely isn't my position. I don't think you understand why people disagree with you here.

Seems reasonable that those types of words are eliminated for the purpose of the tool. Either by having a letter limit or by whitelisting them. Of course there will be duplicates of "the" and "and".

> If mathematics were constructed, we are essentially taking on faith that mathematical properties in the physical universe just so happen (by coincidence) to correlate with the mathematical principles we have invented.

Err, no.

The mathematics we as human have constructed is a superset of the physical universe - the mathematical world embraces much more than the mere confines of the physical world we can kick and observe across.

Indeed we have constructed various mathematic worlds that are at odds with each other - some my have application in this physical universe which then precludes others from also corresponding to the same.

At this stage the worry is more about the conscious beings interacting with these things. LLMs themselves are just inert programs at present, but the entire system end-to-end comprises of the algorithms, the hardware and end users. With all of that taken together, there's a whole lot of consciousness in the system in aggregate that appears to be motivated and/or incentivised to increase the capabilities of the algorithms and hardware, so the fact that LLMs themselves aren't conscious is sort of besides the point in my opinion. The cat is already out of the bag.
Still the best game I have ever played.
So what to do about stuff such as lazy creation of objects?

- Option 1: nullable reference and if the program crashes, you have a bug. (That should be caught during testing.)

- Option 2: Maybe<T>, making the rest of the code unreadable. Because

- Option 2a: "Force-extract" the value and get another exception if the value is not initialized

- Option 2b: Do "proper" pattern-match and do ??? if the value is not initialized.

So I strongly prefer a plain nullable reference. If I dereference it, it raises an exception that gets handled at top-level _just like any other exception due to any other kind of bug_. There's no reason that, in a properly structured program, dereferencing null should crash the whole program. (In a managed language. Unmanaged languages have their own problems - e.g., impossible to determine if a non-null pointer is at all valid. Though OS _does_ let you handle segfaults, if you want to go that way. Windows structured exceptions are much more flexible there than anything available on unix.)
See above, sure you should also structure/format appropriately, but it then similarly sticks out by the same argument that makes it easier by shortening another exoression to a name.

The problem arises when people believe that it’s a one size fits all solution.

Choosing a framework / programming language / paradigm requires careful consideration and evaluation: not doing so can be explained by incompetence or more often simply by a lack of knowledge.
Things have in fact changed. GPUs overwhelmingly have their own MMU to seperate different user contexts, including as accessed through their DMA engines. The few cases under Linux that don't such as the Raspberry PI's GPU instead use the kernel to wrap any submissions to the GPU where they can abstract and validate access to memory.

I’ve built a couple of fairly hefty transmitters without silver solder. I don’t get your point.

The main use cases are certain alloy joints. I’ve seen it quoted as having better mechanical strength but that’s not what’s solder is for!

I'd agree that aviation improvements have slowed way down, but they've certainly gotten dramatically better in that time frame.

As others have pointed out, IE is a poster child. There are many, many outdated browser versions and devices beside IE.

If you have 200 million users, 0.25% is 500 000 people. You may think it's not much, but most cities on Earth have fewer people than that. And it's 0.25% IE, and 0.25% QQ, and 0.25% that Samsung browser from 2014, and... And suddenly you have 5 million people using outdated browsers.

And when it comes to government agencies, "afford" does not mean "profit" because you can't measure everything in terms of profit. And no, not every "boomer" has the money to upgrade their 2012 Android phone bought for them by their kids. And not every millenial sports the latest iPhone. Etc.

Because why not to demand that all safety regulations including a ban on child labor are followed in agriculture, manufacturing before buying agricultural or manufacturing products from poor countries?

Child labor there are just as terrible, yet most people do not care while reacting strongly on pictures of children mining cobalt. The pictures may well be produced by those who wants to put bad image on electrical cars, not because they cared about children.

The proper solution is to have a careful regulation that heavily tax products from countries with lower safety standards. But this is hard as that makes a lot of things more expensive.

A fire alarm at home is important, a fire alarm in the chimney or the engine cylinder makes it unusable.

Exploit mitigations do work, but

a) compiler /does not/ know what are you building and what are your requirements

b) they only protect from /specific, known/ threats the same way a generic fire alarm won't protect you from CO leak or an electric shock.

c) but they waste time, energy and RAM whether they are relevant or not

The only way to get systems that are secure, performant and easy to maintain is to invest in tools that make it easier for developers and users (!) to analyze what the system actually does. Not trying to make everything "magically secure".

Could you expand? I've used ImageMagick to do some fairly advanced color management, and I really don't see how that can be true. You have basic keyword arguments for common use-cases, and you can get down to matrix operations on the color space to have absolute control.

The only thing that I missed was that if you wanted to 'pipe' matrix transforms one into the other, you couldn't do it in different steps because of the precision loss (that is due to image encoding, not IM), so the best way to do that was to multiply the matrices to always do it on one step.
