This does not surprise me at all, with all the "must be a web app", still treating HTML mostly as a string in many web frameworks and semantically inappropriately using tags. It is exactly as I thought, the ratio of invalid HTML has become even worse. Probably most web devs these days do not even check their websites for HTML validity, because achieving it with the frameworks they chose is hard or impossible.

There are more than 25 international destinations served by nonstop routes from SeaTac[0]. In my experience (more than a dozen international trips from SeaTac), the majority of international routes from SeaTac are either non-stop or transfer internationally rather than domestically -- most flights to Europe and Africa, for instance, feature a transfer at Amsterdam or Frankfurt.

But, of course, those routes are generally not less than 4000 miles. SEA->LHR is one of the shorter routes to Europe, and even that is >4700 miles.

The biggest thing I am excited about is when they will decouple the story from the mechanic. Imagine the game loop being programmed deterministically, like a quest, and then the actual story being generated by the AI. Go kill a monster, save a person, game loops can be about someone's wife or grandma. I don't know I am not good at story writing for games.

We can get even more ambitious than this, decouple the entire game engine from the story engine. Most of the times the same game loop can be themed with multiple stories. The game mechanics part of Skyrim could have been themed with a cyberpunk aesthetic and it will still work the same. Of course the assets will need to be generated too, but maybe in a decade or so it will be trivial.

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to even have cables fail in this way. I have a couple of cables that don’t work for data any more but do for charging, and I use this deliberately to power my Sony α6100 as a webcam—give it a USB cable with data, and it switches into a different mode (e.g. file transfer).

(Why do USB cables last so poorly? I’ve never had an A to Micro-B cable last even a quarter of the spec’s minimum rated lifetime (10,000 insertion/removal cycles) before the Micro-B connector is uselessly unreliable, whether cheap or expensive—quite apart from the just-as-frequent failures at the clip/cable junction, like the ones I’m talking of here.)

Nothing can ever establish that intelligence is determined by genetics, because environment always happens to you after genetics do - if it's not affecting your intelligence that just means you've got the wrong environment.

PortaPow transparent USB data blocker, <$10 on Amazon, https://portablepowersupplies.co.uk/product/pure-usb-data-bl...

> Transparent casing and zero electronic components inside so you can be sure the blocker itself is secure .. Since the pure data blocker has a zero-chip design principle, it doesn’t have the SmartCharge chip featured in our 3rd Gen design. This means charging speed may be slower with some combinations of device and charger. The blocker is not compatible with extra fast charging technologies such as ‘Qualcomm Quick Charge’ or ‘Samsung adaptive fast charge’ as these require data transfer to be enabled. Public USB chargers do not support these standards either so your device will charge as normal.

I would word this more like trauma or emotional impact. Horrible things could happen to you, but if it doesn't impact your life its ok. But as soon as we let past experiences impact future actions, now we have room for nuanced trauma.

This is old data but comprehensive and illustrative:

The key point is that only roughly 20% of the capital cost of a coal plant is related to coal handling and pollution control.

https://esmap.org/sites/default/files/esmap-files/TR122-09_G...

So even if the fusion reactor reduces all of those costs to zero, the capital costs would only be 20% cheaper than new-build coal.

As I mentioned earlier, coal isn't economically competitive with renewables pretty much anywhere, even places with very cheap coal resources that can't be traded on the global market. There's heaps of lignite in Texas, for instance, but nobody's building new plants to burn it.

As such, it's hard to see how fusion reactors turning steam turbines are going to be economically competitive either.
As someone who came mostly from Python and some C: I must say the most difficult part was stopping myself from forcing aesthetical ideas of how to structure code from the other languages into Rust.

There are three points here:

- Rust lends itself to certain structures (that you might not be used to) and makes others very harder to pull off (that you might be used to). The trick is not try to do the latter when the former is perfectly fine. E.g. me trying to do object oriented programming in Rust, or starting off with a linked list as a C programmer

- Rust can be written on different levels. For example you can go for "perfect" code in terms of performance and dive into things deep or you can just not bother at all and do the totally naive thing and still end up with quite fast programs most of the time

- Rust has a type system that it strictly enforces. This makes some things harder, others simpler. Make sure to be aware what you can do with a type system and why it can be a good thing to have one.

Remember, correlation is not causation.

Causation can be determined by experiments (either "natural experiments" or intervention studies), but obviously these are both technically impossible and usually immoral to do on humans. Some fields like (…parts of) economics and medicine do experiment design properly, but many others (genetics, psychology, nutrition) just kind of ignore it and hand-wave something about P-values. This is ok if you're only using genetics to create 23AndMe ancestry charts, but it won't be once we actually have gene editing capabilities to inform.
> Clausewitz's military experience was in the Napoleonic wars and while he has much wisdom to share on strategy - choosing the time, place, and general shape of battle - his view of battle itself basically a slugfest in which size of force x intensity of violence gives you the answer.

Many of Napoleon's most famous victories were won with a significant numerical disadvantage. If you had tried to determine the outcome of a battle at the time by simply comparing the number of men on each side, you would have failed often.

An attention mechanism is one or more layers in the neural network. When someone talks about attention altering the input vectors, they're referring to what those layers are doing and how data is transformed as it passes through them. But zooming out to the big picture, a neural network is a bunch of layers full of weights, and none of the weights changes except during training (including the weights in the attention layers).

I have only argued one thing: since there are many countries barely able to manage their own power grid, if even that, and since no sensible nation will want to tie their grid to such countries’, an international energy market isn’t a solution for everyone.

Yes, PTP and NTP are indeed very different protocols.

There's no networking hardware timestamp support for NTP because NTP has nothing to do with hardware timestamps.

PTP can be done without hardware timestamps, but it was designed with hardware support in mind.

I don't know where you got it that NTP does anything even orders of magnitude close to nanoseconds:

> NTP can usually maintain time to within tens of milliseconds over the public Internet, and can achieve better than one millisecond accuracy in local area networks under ideal conditions

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol

> The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network. On a local area network, it achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol

Literally neither solution comes anywhere near nanosecond accuracy.

For reference, there are

I'm concerned that the quality of human simulacra will be so good that they will be indistinguishable from a sentient AGI.

We will be so used to having lifeless and morally worthless computers accurately emulate humans that when a sentient and worthy of empathy artificial intelligence arrives, we will not treat it any different than a smartphone and we will have a strong prejudice against all non-biological life. GPT is still in the uncanny valley but it's probably just a few years away from being indistinguishable from a human in casual conversation.

Alternatively, some might claim (and indeed have already claimed) that purely mechanical algorithms are a form of artificial life worthy of legal protection, and we won't have any legal test that could discern the two.
I don't really understand why people want to switch over from Twitter to Mastodon while it carries similar problems as the blue platform:

1. Instead of being blocked or shadowbanned by Elon Musk, you can now be blocked or shadowbanned by the Mastodon instance admin.
2. Making connections with other Mastodon instances is non-trivial.
3. Exporting your data and connections is not supported on all Mastodon instances.

Why aren't more people switch over to Nostr? I know Nostr has seen “meteoric” growth [1] and it's easy to find your old twitter contracts again [2] but somehow Hacker News is very quiet about this open protocol and all the various clients and implementations [3].

> A small quibble, unrelated to your explanation, is that if this particular theological argument is not respected even among theologians, it does not constitute an example of arguments that "were effectively fended off hundreds or in some cases thousands of years ago by theology and apologetics".

Well, to give a different example - in the midst of discussing Aquinas' proofs, he advances the claim that omniscience and omnipotence are logically incompatible. There is a long history in Jewish, Christian and Islamic philosophy of debating closely related questions. The 10th century Rabbi Saadia Gaon, the 12th century Islamic philosopher Ibn Rushd (Averroes), and Aquinas himself all discussed paradoxes of omnipotence (the classic "can God create a stone heavier than he can lift?") – the resolution of which generally turns on precisely how "omnipotence" is defined. There is similarly a long history in all three religions of intellectual debate over the relationship between divine omniscience, the nature of time and God's relationship to it, and human free will (if God perfectly knows the future, does that mean the future is predetermined? if the future is predetermined, how can humans have free will?) – topics discussed by ancient Christian philosophers and theologians such as Boethius (6th century) and Augustine (5th century), the Jewish philosopher Maimonides (aka Rambam, 12th/13th century), the 7th–10th century disputes in Islamic theology over predestination (qadr) versus free will.

Obviously this lengthy history of debate, stretching back many centuries, even 1500 years, has a lot of relevance to Dawkins' claim of a contradiction – and, as usual, Dawkins appears utterly ignorant of all of it. His argument seems to be basically that he knows what "omnipotent" and "omniscient" mean (he may have consulted a dictionary), and obviously by his definitions they contradict each other – zero interest in whether his definitions of them agree with those of philosophers and theologians who've examined these issues before – and then he cites a poem which expresses the same view. So I think that is a good example of what you are looking for in your quibble – although the plural in "thousands of years ago" is possibly somewhat of an exaggeration. I'm not sure if anyone ever answered Dawkins precise objection (although I wouldn't rule it out), but closely related objections have been discussed many times before.

In 1970 anthropologist William Divale compiled sex ratio data from 112 primitive societies. He found that among societies practicing war, sex ratios were on average very male-skewed among children and much less male-skewed among adults. The probable explanation Divale found was sex-biased infanticide.
