Sometimes I think Bitcoin was inspired by this story. Instead of monks computing the 9 billion names of God, you’re computing the 21 million units of True Money.

The devotion of Bitcoiners has a monk-like aspect of religious asceticism. Like the God-name printouts, you’re not supposed to actually do anything with the outputs of Bitcoin. Just hold them and pray until one day the process is complete, all the coins have been excavated, and the paradise of sound Money will reign on Earth.
Oh they did. There was this congressional hearing where Gene Cernan argued against giving SpaceX any missions, saying essentially they, as private enterprise, were incompetent and a disaster waiting to happen. “They don’t know what they don’t know”, he said (to which Elon rightfully said that this applies to anyone anytime).

The difference, to me, is this: Elon really did look up to those astronauts. And what they said made him sad. Sam claims that he looks up to Elon. But what Elon says doesn’t make him sad. It makes him angry. Because, I believe, he also sees him as a rival and compares himself to him.
iPhone 14 has satellite connectivity for emergencies, other handset makers are doing this too. in 10 years the picture will look much different, and i doubt any phone will ever have truly “no service” again.

WSL2 has been pretty frustrating to deal with when I needed to anything that wasn't very basic - which limited its usefulness to scenarios already served well enough by WSL1 (or MSYS2)

But it's little things about the desktop experience that makes me roll my eyes; like drag an icon from your desktop to your start menu. Try to change the settings on your audio device. Try to uninstall Skype and remove all of the preinstalled stuff without removing something important. Try to use the start menu search to launch an installed application.

Terminal is a great application though, very needed on Windows and the usability of things like explorer and multi monitor window management is fantastic (though MacOS does workspaces better than Windows, everything else about MacOS's window management story is garbage)

Agreed that Windows has become rather unpleasant but this:

"So, there is basically little you can do with Windows out of the box but buy subscriptions and log into pre-installed social media apps."

is not true at all. Well, I suppose if you don't install anything. But what you are going to do with Windows "out of the box" is not to buy subscriptions, but to install stuff. LibreOffice, VSCode, Audacity, Paint.Net, VLC, etc. There is so much fantastic productivity software for free. In the end it's just an OS with its share of annoyances. The big advantage of Mac for me is not the OS but Apple Silicon.
There is a correlation with urban sprawl and the autonomy of children[1].

Depending on where you live, it's harder young people to get around compared to 40 years ago.
Like this HN user's experience in this same thread[2].

By making society car centric we have made it difficult for children to exercise independence even if their parents allowed them to.

In a non metro area your options as a teen to go somewhere are to beg your parents to drive you somewhere or to walk for hours to a bus stop.
These barriers and the rise in pedestrian fatalities do not incentivize autonomy.

Sure, how much data you can exchange per satellite is roughly proportional to the bandwidth.

Increasing bandwidth or increasing satellites increases data rate.

You might get some mileage out of FoolEd By Randomness, by N. Taleb.

No. You left out the part about order, which is the most important part.
I notice that foreign media tends to focus a lot of things that happen in US. In some countries its even used to distract for what is happening locally. Another thing is Europeans like to blame US for their own problems. For example the British complain that the NHS is getting privatized because of the US. The reality is they picked terrible politicians to run the country and they keep reelecting them.
This just relies on the pseudorandomness of SHA-256. You can skip a lot of waste and use SHA-256 directly.
I've heard there are some crazy people who try to drive vehicles weighing a tonne or more in the city at as much as 40mph, and they often find their way onto the pavements too. Perhaps Paris will treat that menace with the priority it deserves.

> when our status is challenged, our body reacts like it's in physical danger

While it's not 100% certain, the fact that there appears to be a biological adaptation that makes us seek status and avoid losing status strongly suggests that the author is underestimating the importance of status in human society.

For example: "we find that status is significantly associated with men’s reproductive success, consistent with an evolved basis for status pursuit."

Me too. I however scanned my signature years ago and insert it in, along with my name. I use my iPad and Apple Pencil for dates or any other data.

In thousands of official documents, nobody has called it out. When asked "did you print and scan this?" I lie.

Except bikes have a much larger turn radius and are much more bulky than a scooter. You can zip between people with a scooter no problem, but it is tricky to do with a bike. As someone who ditched a car for a bike, I had several almost-accidents with these things and it was always down to reckless driving and trying to pull stunts on these things.

Well, it depends on what you need from your prompt.

What engineering is required for Amazon to deliver me an HTML page?
Are the backend engineers just “injecting” HTML? Of course not. It’s not the same as generating the HTML for a personal blog.

As far as what skills are need, it depends on how any given team wants to modify the prompt. It’s up to the ingenuity of the engineers. Maybe they need to hit 5 other models before generating the prompt. IDK.
The prompt may change for any given scenario, which is why you need engineers to build the system.
Can confirm the Chiang Mai thing. Just like here in Switzerland some shops in Chiang Mai often just close door and keep everything outside over night. Haven't seen that anywhere else before tho.

What elements of polish are you missing?

Have you used gnome shell in the last five years?

My desktop experience on Linux is so clean. Everything is a "windows" key press away. I hit they then enter the first characters of the program name. It's all composited and GPU accelerated too, and interaction is instantaneous.

Almost anything that needs additional polish is on the web and looks the same on every computer...

For me, what seems janky is stuff with the systems on MacOS (planned hardware obsolescence = jank, batteries that die after a predetermined number of years, expanding until they break the motherboard = jank) or the user treatment and configuration of Windows (the article in question gives a lovely example of windows jank). In short, being treated like a consumer = jank. I can't understand how anyone puts up with it, much less says "polished" when referring to it. But I'll admit I'm weird!
I'd rather watch dark scenes at home on the OLED than on a projector with blacks that look grey.
My preference is the Netherlands but it is obviously a joint decision which needs to be made by both myself and my partner.

We are both working in tech so finding a job shouldn’t be an issue. She is an EU national by birth so automatically has the right to work and live there. I would need to jump through hoops as a result of the big B :/
>side/curtain airbags that made the A-pillar larger

Even cars of the mid-2000s have this pillar sufficiently large to completely block the view of pedestrians and vehicles under certain conditions. This is, I'd argue, a contributing factor in the modern preference for taller vehicles- the visibility is equally poor, but being higher up lets people believe they can see more out front and they "win" in sightline contests with other cars.

>Automakers started adding a lot of weight to vehicles

Note also that electric cars in particular are significantly heavier than combustion ones; as such they take more effort to stop and are even more dangerous to other cars in crashes.

Oh, and since electric cars are inherently heavier, the roof has to be stronger to maintain the same rollover protection, which also means the A-pillars and blind spots will continue to get larger.

>they should have just raised the federal gasoline tax

If you do that you run into price-sensitive agricultural users. Other countries exempt those users with marked gas to detect tax fraud, but that requires legislative action (marked gas is illegal in the US) and new infrastructure to support it to the point where it might not have been worth it.

Also, the chicken tax means unless the light truck is domestically produced it's not worth it, so only a select few automakers could really make a run at it (especially in the context of safety requirements that don't scale).
> Otoh, you could ban e-scooters tomorrow and after dramatically improving various urban areas, the biggest effect would be a few scooter companies going bankrupt.

Ha ha I don’t, I thought I was on the right path, when I applied to Harvard for my PhD I sent them a copy of 30 such wacky ideas thinking this would convince them, but didn’t. I got rejected from every top 50 university first time (on top of good gpa, top GRE scores etc). Apparently publishing in your undergrad (which is pretty much something of pure luck in india) is the only currency they take into account. I still found my way to a good school and did my PhD though!

Neuralink's premise is that unless humans undergo radical augmentation, we will become obsolete as contrasted to purely-mechanical thinking machines. Electronic / machine augmentation is a strategy for us to stay in-the-loop in order to maintain effective control.

Reversing aging does nothing to solve the same problem.
To me a desktop is mostly determined by what can be done with a file browser and the file browsers that come with a Linux distribution (dolphins, thunder, etc) are much better than finder or explorer.

well 3 degrees wide means at best ~28 square degrees on the sky (pi * 3 * 3). But the problem is the other way. It looks like Starlink has 7 GHz total downlink bandwidth from satellite to customers. A cell may be ~300 sq km, but no way you can pipe all that bandwidth in adjacent cells due to interference (or... if you did, you'd probably lose in spectral efficiency). If we assume something like 10 Gbps/cell total downlink bandwidth (based on two polarizations, 1/4 the total bandwidth and 3 bits/Hz efficiency), then you can maybe serve... 500 people / cell reasonably? How many people live in places with fewer than a few people/km^2? Only Alaska averages below that in the US.
Maybe this is a bit too early for a 10 year old. Definitely not for a 15 year old. I did exactly that when I was that age. Also I think there a much less hardware issues today.

Tinkering with Linux was my first real computing experience and also started my career in that field.
You’re not sacrificing Dutch nature. Your argument is based on what you hear from doomsayers who make a lot of noise based on incomplete research. The grass, stinging nettles and blackberries you saw on TV only went a couple of meters deep at the edge of forests. It’s not like it takes over entire forests. They are now researching how nitrogen from farms actually deposits, because everything we know until now has been modelled as a dome, while it’s much more likely it’s a low hanging mist.
Can't speak for $250/mo, but I've definitely lived in places where ISP's weren't required to expand in, meaning a big chunk of residents had zero internet options. This wasn't too far out of SEATAC, actually.

Not a fan of Musk, but the calculus becomes pretty simple at that point for someone who wants a home internet connection.
Or keep trying to fix the environment + hardware compatibility issues and not work on the actual study. Or keep editing some random xorg.conf file because his monitor's display suddenly became weird. Or try to fix some other random files since the sound driver doesn't work. He's 10.

I was doing this stuff in Linux when I was… well, not 10, but 12. Today I work with computers. What do you think ”tinkering” means?

I do sympathize with being a grown adult and having no time for this stuff anymore. But there is a time and place where, for some, the act of making a computer work right and do what you want is fun in itself. Isn’t that why we’re all here?
Taleb writes entertaining books, but fundamentally is a trader who made one good bet (against the housing bubble) and is going to milk it for the rest of his life (which is, amusingly, exactly what he accuses Elon of doing).

Thank you! Once you start running, you realize weather is not really a factor.

I wear pretty much the same clothes even if it is -10C. Just need a beanie and some thin gloves.

> System 8 was more than just a service update for System 7

A lot more, eventually. System 8.6 brought a fully pre-emptive kernel with multi processing (http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=3656.0)

Problem was that, for backwards compatibility, all applications ran in a single pre-emptively scheduled task that cooperatively scheduled between them. You could write additional tasks that got scheduled preemptively, but they couldn’t make all system calls (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ca...)
Because he thinks death is a useful thing, an enabler of change and adaptation. “People don’t change their minds. They just die.“

He explicitly said that he doesn’t want to live forever. Very different from other Silicon Valley rich kids. Humble, actually.

Remember Kurzweil? Called Steve Jobs’ commencement speech about death being nature’s change agent a “deathist statement”.
I think the discussion here is missing something. The issue isn't "shielding" the radio. Modern power electronics, including Hybrid/EV drivetrains and modern electronic transmissions, produce in-band interference for broadcast AM. If you shield the radio, you're blocking the _signal_, as well as the noise. The only solution is to shield the power system (including the drive motor). This can add significant cost in both engineering and production, and interfere with thermal management (gaps let out hot air and RF!). Of course, with enough effort, anything can be shielded, but most EMI emissions masks I work with only go down to 30Mhz! Single MHz is below the range of "RF" and within the range of "Power Electronics" in the minds of modern engineers.

The real issue here is that while FM made the switch to hybrid Analog+Digital, AM is still living in the past. The technology has not changed in literally a century. The FCC has authorized hybrid AM operation, but there hasn't been any real adoption. We have 100 years of signal processing magic, and it would be so much cheaper for car manufacturers to include a single chip than to properly shield drivetrains just for AM radio backwards compatibility.

We should have spread-spectrum orthogonal-multiplexed radio beamed to the entire country from space. 100 geo-coded channels, and your car automatically plays the one for the region you're in. Adapt or die, but the high power future isn't going to wait up for AM.
