The British Library has digitized two manuscripts from the Medieval and Renaissance Women project that reveal the contents of the home of Alice Smythe, an important merchant who lived in 16th century England. Alice's house in Fenchurch Street, London was appraised two years after her death by a team of appraisers who noted her possessions in each room. The house contained two parlours, many well-decorated bedrooms, a gallery filled with paintings and stained glass, a tennis court, a stable, and other outbuildings. Her possessions were worth over £1,000, which equates to almost £700,000 today. Alice's collection of paintings depicted classical myths, Tudor monarchs, and biblical figures. Alice was also literate, owning several books, including one written by and for women, The Monument of Matrones.
they have plenty of money given tiny, static class sizes, and that population you're referring to is already a small one of a small overall student body.
I've written Risc-V RV32I cores that are about the same size as this, or possibly smaller depending on how you count what the "core" is.
I dunno, the author could be right, but these kinds of posts always rub me the wrong way.

I just don't like the idea that someone is out there telling you that you're doing charity wrong. It could be coming from a good place but comes off with an air of moral superiority. If this guy finds out that I buy some pepperoni rolls for my kid's ballet fundraiser, is he gonna guilt trip me with malaria nets too?
Partly, but it was Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago who helped lay the framework for the "shareholder primacy" theory that really paved the way for the poor longterm corporate management of the last couple of decades.
Eh, these are short names that aren't taken by anything else in the field of generative AI. Bedrock is a clear nod to foundation models; I think it's a pretty great name.

These names are not especially bad compared to other large software companies and products. What on earth is a "chat gee pee tee" and what does it do? What does something named "Azure" do, let alone "Azure Synapse Analytics"? Don't even get me started on Microsoft's renaming of Office to 365. Yeah, I really love thinking and talking about writing stuff in "Microsoft 365." And what the hell does the company "Hugging Face" do? What industry could they possibly be in!?
Do you want them to worship their creator?
> And it disappoints me greatly that the medical community shuns this phenomenon

The medical community is a joke as a whole. They even brush off side effects because they have never heard about them before. They are as unscientific as you can go.

Nowhere in hard science world do people act like that.
You appear the be incorrect according to the latest statistics I could find from the Bureau of Justice Statistics [1].

Most violent crimes are committed by someone known to the victim (defined as an acquaintance, friend, family member, or intimate partner) and of the ones you listed, robbery is the only exception (62% committed by strangers, 32% committed by someone known, and 6% is unknown).

WhatsApp doesn't have a persistent notification though.

Just tested this and this is not the case with WhatsApp. I am on a Samsung and I am not sure if WhatsApp get's any special treatment.
That seems strange that the fat isn't contributing anything. The creamy mouthfeel is one of the reasons ice cream is so much better than "frozen dairy desert" or lots of frozen yogurts.

Also, does the creami only make things a soft-serve texture? Slightly harder ice cream is where it's at, in my opinion.
I'm fairly certain he already guaranteed that with his $150mm previous donation in 2014, which at the time was the largest gift in Harvard College's history. Note that in that case, $125mm was earmarked specifically for financial aid.
That is 100% not what the link says.
That might not work as he expected.

Some items are "condition rarities" -- it's worth a fortune in never used condition, but nothing special when worn.

Other items are rare as long as they can be reliably attributed. You could run a 1804 US dollar over with a locomotive and it would still be worth six or seven figures as long as the date could be identified. I'd expect plenty of the "rare" stamps would hold a significant slice of value even used. Now, the fact you gave up possession of the expensive item is another issue.

Returning to main HN stamping grounds: that's what makes some of these "new collectible" schemes sort of weird (i. e. professionally graded/certified video games)-- they're not necessarily trading on inherently rare items, just creating a "condition scarcity" economy that previously didn't really exist. It's not "the only one of its kind", it's "the only one the grading service gave 9.452345/10".
My wife still uses a C2D Macbook Pro (with an SSD and 16GB RAM upgrade, if I recall correctly). It’s totally fine for most of the work she does with it. While I needed to get a beefier laptop for the work I’m doing now (involving processing TB-sized datasets), my 2014 Mac Mini (also with an SSD upgrade) still lives happily on my desk connected to a 4K monitor.

Yeah, that steep climb was amazing! Going from 3kB of RAM, to 640kB of RAM, to 16MB of RAM, to 1GB, to 16GB was incredible. I remember my first dual CPU computer and being blown away that I could burn a CD, listen to music, and play Counterstrike at the same time (Abit BP6, 2x Celeron 450s). Maybe if I still gamed I’d be more blown away by how much things continue to evolve but in a lot of ways the newer CPUs and more RAM etc. mostly just feel like a way to compensate for increasingly bloated software in my day-to-day “office work” activities.

It will be pulled on demand. Imagine you have a debit card with only $1 in the bank account. As long as the vendor charges anything less than $1 it will go through.

Btw I use Privacy for my regular subscriptions too. There I limit the amount charged per transaction. I match this to the subscription price. So when the vendor raises prices and I miss that email the charge won’t go through. I also add time limit so there is no payment on auto renewal.
There are many, but most never go further than SQL (ie: Are just a "query" language).

I'm trying to do it for a "general purpose" language where array + relational + functional + imperative can work together:

https://tablam.org

---

One of the biggest damage that SQL has caused is that SQL is so bad as being a programming language, is not good enough DSL and is weirdly the only game in town, that many can't imagine that the relational model allows to do programming like every other model, just richer in "intrinsic" operators.

This is the deal with RDBMS. Is like: "Everyone implement a wild flavor of a VM, sometimes JVM, .NET VM, Web Assembly, eBPF, etc, but all use a slight variation of Java for their syntax"

Is like the reverse of how things are done!
It's an oligarch's school for oligarchs? I can't speak for him, but that's my guess.
What languages can we cite that have a stdlib that doesnt include either file io, network io (or if I really want to make the point: syscalls)?

I can go first actually, get one answer out of the way. Javascript. But it did evolve network io, and modern JS runtimes almost all include some file/storage io.

Im down with a big-language/small-language discussion, but it seems basically beside the point here. I said language, but whether it's the language or libraries doesn't seem materially interesting useful or to alter the basic lay of the discussion of what consuming io-uring may well be like for most (likely: abstracted).
Also, why would you want to defile the ice cream that already apparently lowers the risk of diabetes, haha.
I can somewhat see the internal workings of my dreams' characters. It's fascinating, but also makes it harder to entertain the idea that I'm seeing beyond myself.

It's as if my brain is unable to sandbox their operation from my conscious experience. If I am about to say or do something and then decide not to, the script gets derailed, and they lose momentum. When I'm about to wake up, they tend to lose the ability to speak.
I think his point is that given the context that everything is involved with child labor somehow, pointing out just one particular item isn't very helpful.

More nuances about iphone being a luxury brand and therefore less justifiable and more "disgusting" can be added. But like how you said it above, it doesn't change the fact that the very economy and the comfort we are enjoying partly come from child labor.
I’m always curious why more new universities/schools aren’t started by the super rich, seems like there were lots of them started 100-200 years ago, and but that trend has tailed off, and there is certainly the demand…

Just require companies that interact with funds from Tornado Cash (or any other privacy coin) to get KYC documents and funds explanation from users. Not really any different than cash deposits at a bank - you don’t know where the money came from, so have a presumption of suspicion but enable the users with a legitimate reason for privacy to prove themselves.

The OFAC thing, Elizabeth Warren’s “anti crypto army” advertisement, hyperventilations about crypto being used for crime… all of this while regular banks collapsed and crypto is the financial success story of 2023. I think the government has overplayed their hand and hopefully courts intervene to limit it.
Heeyyyy much more cleanly said than my attempts. Shit yeah nicely made.
Anything created under Capitalism is probably morally repulsive on one level or another. I vote to get rid of it entirely, if we can only come up with a better solution.

Why does the definition of a “life well lived” have to include value to society?
Probably he means that by giving money to an “elite” school, it just makes it more likely that it will end up hurting the “non-elites”. I don’t necessarily agree with that point by the way because there are students who will have their cost of attendance potentially offset by this donation.
Is it just me or are these types of 'do this body movement' metaphors in written featues always too unclear to actually follow along.. are my hands side by side bending fingers to touch? one on top of the other?
He previously donated $150m to Harvard College so his children are already all but guaranteed admission. He already has all the benefits Harvard gives mega donors, there isn’t any marginal benefit to this donation other than a department renaming. The only possible thing left for them to give him would be a seat on the Harvard Board of Overseers but that’s unlikely because he is now a politically controversial figure.

He also has a history of mega donations to universities in exchange for department renaming, like his $150m donation to UChicago which renamed their economics department after him (the most prestigious part of the university)

This is true—some of the people I met in Philly had serious drug addictions but their rent was only 300 a month for a whole house. I genuinely don’t think there is any equivalent in SF. That is probably also why I almost never saw tents or similar in Philly.
Umm, Apple still sells devices with just 1 GB of RAM on them ;)
Yeah imagine how great it would for all the wealth and power to be held by people over 100 years older than you. We could have presidents from before WWI telling us about how they bought a house for $100 dollars and disparaging the youth for not doing the same in a market that is, oh by the way, many times more expensive because these old folks just won’t die.
I’m not sure I understand the context.

They began a replacement engine 7 years later to address shortcomings, and 3 years after that still aren’t sure if it’s actually better and worth switching over to?

Now that I write this, I kind of get it. But I’ve only experienced this for weeks worth of work, not for years.
Is the source of your core by any chance available online, even if not open sourced?
>Your smartphone was still made by child labor.

that's mighty presumptuous.

and listing other child labor profiteers has a point : it illustrates that perhaps we should probably look for and fix the root causes of child labor rather than punishing a single perpetrator.
> Most people have happiness as a goal

From where I sit either this is true and most people are terrible at achieving their goals or it’s not really most people’s’ goal.

> Twitter has ample restrictions on harassing people.

Twitter has never had adequate restrictions on harassment. The were approaching it asymptotically for a while, but that's now in retreat.

> You are talking about censoring views, not harassment/insults.

Yes, I am also talking about censoring views. For example, views like, "the [ethnic group] must be exterminated to ensure white survival" do not belong on Twitter. For many reasons including both that they help shift the Overton Window toward genocide [1], and because it's really bad for Twitter as a business to have that shit running rampant.

> You core argument, that anyone is taking a "maximalist free speech" allowing people to harass others, is a lie.

Nope. It's sincerely held, so at the very worse I could be wrong. But I'm not.

Some free-speech absolutists are absolutely pro-harassment. Every banned jackass has a deep believe that their free speech trumps absolutely everything else.

A good chunk of the rest are just indifferent to harassment, generally because they're comfortable white men who do not normally experience harassment as a means of social control. Many in this group may be inclined to use it themselves when one of the lesser orders is out of line, but they probably wouldn't recognize it as harassment when they do it. See e.g., Manne's "Down Girl" for more.

And the remainder just haven't thought it through. They fail to see it as balanced with other rights, like freedom of association or freedom from harm. Typically, this is the adolescent (or frozen adolescent) view, where they don't have a theory of rights much beyond "YOU'RE NOT MY DAD YOU CAN'T MAKE ME". Which is, y'know, a start on an ethical understanding, but they haven't yet gotten to things like Rawls's Veil.

Regardless, anybody who takes a maximalist position on free speech, by which I mean an expressed or implied view that it trumps all other rights, is in effect pro harassment. Because any sort of platform that tries to follow it, as Twitter did in its early years, will be absolutely full of it.

Harvard also taught John Franklin Enders Nobel Laureate and “The Father of Modern Vaccines.” Granted they handed him his PhD in 1930, but he played a pivotal role in developing a measles vaccine and Salk was heavily dependent on his work when developing the polio vaccine. That’s rarefied air in terms of net benefit to humanity.

More recent examples aren’t as impressive by comparison, but graduates of Harvard school of medicine has collectively done a great deal of critical medical research. And of course many recent graduates have their best breakthroughs ahead of them.
Using one single narrow criteria to completely disregard any & all other similarity is a shame & a sham. This is a huge disservice & actively harmful to understanding the world.

I've said again and again microkernel-y microkernel-ish. But every single time I try to build a bridge & explain how it's similar but different, you burn it down. I think you have been poisoned by being too close to the subject matter & lack objective sensibility about the subject, are unable to adequately step back to actually understand. And you don't seem to have any interest in learning or trying to see, which is a crying shame.

I feel like you as a deep practioner/academic of this area should be best able to help explain relationships & similarities, to see connections. But you focus only on making distance & setting things apart. That's just not good enough. It's not sufficient a viewpoint.

As a security advocate, I hope for a future where we can move away from systems that have been vulnerable by design such as Windows, Linux, iOS, and AWS. These systems were not initially designed with security in mind and have remained structurally vulnerable over time, despite attempts to bolt on security measures. To adequately address future security concerns, we need to design and verify a new computing stack that incorporates security principles specifically aimed at thwarting nation-state attackers like the NSA.

Although some commercial systems are still being regularly targeted by nation-state or state-sponsored attackers, historical systems and certification processes such as the Orange Book Level A1, SCOMP, GEMSOS, and the Common Criteria SKPP have provided adequate validation against such attacks. Successful evaluations have included practical testing, formal specifications, and formal proofs of correctness as part of the validation process.

Meaningful security against proven threats is only possible through the application of security principles that have demonstrated success against nation-state attackers, leading to a greenfield redesign of the entire computing stack. Attempting to bolt on security measures to existing systems is unlikely to provide meaningful security against current threats, given decades of failed attempts by large software companies via certification processes.

It's important to note that while some systems, like Windows NT, were initially designed with security in mind, they still suffer from vulnerabilities. A potential solution to this issue may be to create specialized, limited-performance systems that complement lower-security systems instead of replacing them. Additionally, disconnecting servers from the internet remains a viable security measure as it is unlikely for hackers to physically infiltrate a network.

Overall, our goal should be to develop a new computing stack with security designed, verified, and demonstrated to thwart nation-state attackers, rather than attempting to retrofit security measures onto existing vulnerable systems.
You sure put a lot of stock in these bureaucratic certifications. I agree modern OS’s are woefully insecure, but focusing on the certifications the way you do is putting the cart before the horse. Certifications are just some other org’s opinion. Hard to take them seriously when they haven’t built anything so great themselves. Following their list of rules isn’t going to change anything.

None of this would be so difficult if the CSS specifications were well defined.

Why does this topic always comes up when talking about longevity? Did people read about this in a book or something? So what if they don’t die? I don’t consider those people evil, I’m not rich either. The thought of living forever or for a much longer period of time gets me very excited. I don’t care if the elite live longer or not.
"72 percent in January-February of 2022 to 58 percent in the same time this year" -> At this rate they'll have 0 market share in under 5 years time!

You claim market share is significant. I'm saying it's not.

If Tesla had 100% market share, they wouldn't be able to produce the cars for people. It's a silly metric in that it doesn't accommodate for what a manufacturer is capable of.

Their market share being smaller is thus, not important as the parent commenter pointed out their factories are pumping out cars full throttle and there's still wait lists for their products.

When the market is saturated with products, a metric like market share, customer happiness/retention, brand loyalty etc become more important. For now it's not as they were literally the only significant player for the past 5 years mass producing EVs.

I was linked to this post by a friend regarding the comments you made about Fathom's GDPR compliance.

1. The GDPR is regulation from the European Union

2. PIPEDA has an Exemption order for BC (British Columbia, Canada) and applies "in respect of the collection, use and disclosure of personal information that occurs within the Province of British Columbia".

Firstly, the Exemption order states "Whereas the Governor in Council is satisfied that the Personal Information Protection Act, S.B.C. 2003, c. 63, of the Province of British Columbia, which is substantially similar to Part 1 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, applies to the organizations described in the annexed Order;"

Secondly, which part of BC's Personal Information Protection Act would undermine it's adequacy ruling under the GDPR?

Finally, let's get into Fathom's pageview/event collection script and explain how it works:

1. There is no collection, use and disclosure of personal information that occurs within the Province of British Columbia

2. EU traffic is automatically routed via EU Isolation and processed on German-owned servers. This allows us to stop US government snooping on EU traffic

3. Fathom Analytics is incorporated in BC. But nobody in BC has access to our EU Isolation infrastructure. I'm the CTO of Fathom Analytics and I have access to our EU Isolation infrastructure. I'm not in BC. Additional access to EU Isolation is from Germany only. Heck, not even GitHub Actions has access to EU Isolation, we self-host GitLab to keep things completely isolated. We put a lot of time and effort into this.

I'll wait back to hear back from you on which parts of the BC's PIPA undermine the adequacy ruling. Our lawyer here in Canada is incredibly well versed in Canadian privacy law, so we can definitely loop her in if there's any confusion here.

I hope that addresses your point and helps inform other people who may be reading this.
