I still fully support progress and research towards improving the world, which is precisely what lab grown meat is - but alternatives such as 'impossible' are still quite excellent substitutes as well.
Honestly, I think impossible meat is far, faaar better than pretty much any real meat - and I say that including a 'good steak' or (even better) home cooked steak in the southern US from a local butcher shop. Of course, that can still be good - but impossible meat is way better due to actually being uniformly smooth and much easier to marinate (if that's what you're going for).
Real meat has an enormous number of issues that make it sub par, such as health risks (unique disease sets, as well as the chronic-use red meat effects on health), random other tissues that affect quality (gristle, other tendons, etc), of course extremely inhumane processes for which it comes from, and the pretty insane costs associated with it (much of the writeups on this are very disingenuous and favor 'real' meat, despite the glaring amount of capital it takes to sustain these farms).

Ultimately I am really ready to move on from the past of eating real meat and I would love to see all facets of the world switch away from it.
...Actually, there is no disincentive built into the FDIC for people to participate in bank runs. In fact, the entire point of the FDIC was to insulate depositors from banks doing stupid things with everyone's money.

Now that the Fed has bailed out the creme de la creme, I'd like to see the argument employed when the FDIC hasn't got the liquidity left to backstop every other depositor in subsequent bank failures.

SPF and DKIM are nowadays the very basic methods used to verify if your emails are spoofed or not. Not having them in place is as good as setting up a spam farm.

1) What particular issues do LLMs have with at the validation stage? RF and EMI are ones I can see as issues, but I would think the digital logic portion could easily be solved.

2) Seeing as you run a robotics company, do see any notable applications so far to computer vision or control systems within the near future?

The easiest way to subvert democracy is by

(1) creating political parties, then

(2) claim that its party members represent the people, while

(3) they actually represent
its political party, and therefore, of course, prioritize its interests.

In my country, every major oligarchs have its own / is a member of a political party.

So our "Council of People's Representatives" actually works as "Council of Party's Representative" - and therefore work very diligently to fight for the interests of our oligarchs.

And yet no one is upset, not even our "democracy activists" - because they're already conditioned / believe that, political parties are a requirement for a proper democracy.

Nope, they're not - and they're actually the way to subvert democracy, and enabled the oligarchs to create massive profits AND control the people at the same time.
This comment is talking specifically in the context of Clojure.

In the Clojure culture (so to speak) maps may also have a schema, as used by various schema checking tools, which are richer than runtime type checks. (Not the same as database schema)

Nit: I would not say that a JVM object is a schema, because there’s more to it. Rich is well known for saying that the idea of an object complects two things: (1) a record-like (struct) data structure with the (2) code to manipulate it.

Sometimes it’s even more complected because in some languages classes can make assumptions about state across all objects and threading.

Calling Jagex "socialist" for introducing the GE is more than a little ridiculous: they've always (and necessarily) regulated the game's economy via gold and other resource sinks.

My recollection (from 2007) is that they introduced the GE as a counterbalance to the PK/wilderness removal and the effect it had on the economy. Heavy handed, maybe, but not particularly ideological.

Tuple spaces implementations and their efficiency - 2016

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.02979.pdf

> SUMMARY

> Among the paradigms for parallel and distributed computing, the one popularized with Linda,
and based on tuple spaces, is one of the least used, despite the fact of being intuitive, easy to
understand and to use. A tuple space is a repository, where processes can add, withdraw or read
tuples by means of atomic operations. Tuples may contain different values, and processes can inspect
their content via pattern matching. The lack of a reference implementation for this paradigm has
prevented its widespread. In this paper, first we perform an extensive analysis of a number of actual
implementations of the tuple space paradigm and summarise their main features. Then, we select
four such implementations and compare their performances on four different case studies that aim at
stressing different aspects of computing such as communication, data manipulation, and cpu usage.
After reasoning on strengths and weaknesses of the four implementations, we conclude with some
recommendations for future work towards building an effective implementation of the tuple space
paradigm.
Yes exactly: tools/libraries such as R, D3.js, or even Tableau can go over the top for the simpletons as, me who don't code for a living. There are many data visualization and analysis tools that claim “to do everything without a line of code” but even importing your data into them can be pretty frustrating without knowledge of SQL, Python or JavaScript.

For simple data visualization with animations, e.g. Flourish is a good option, but it's limited without enterprise access. You can find examples here: https://flourish.studio/examples

So, I really enjoyed Observable's new documentation and tutorials which actually show, not tell how to use the cool examples with your own data.

(Note: I really dislike apps that only have video tutorials. It's hard to follow along and not get bored or lost. Sorry about this rant in advance, and thanks for all the producers who offer clear documentation as text or reasonable guided tours.)

Even google is aggressive about IP bans on other services.

There was a time my home IP on Comcast was on some blacklist with good. Every video was run through captcha. Searches too.

Comcast was useless to give me an IP in a new block.

What solved it? I signed up for gsuite free at the time and moved my email (from a colo) from “on prem” to them. Suddenly my home IP that’s used to access their services is cherry and no longer suspicious.

Note: that doesn’t seem to work anymore though. I regularly proxy some traffic through a linode and google does the same thing. Everything behind a captcha that’s stupid difficult to clearly 60% of the time. I hate traffic lights.

I solved this by letting the cat open the door from both sides.

From one side, the cat can just push open the door. The closing force on the door comes from a small weight hanging on a string, which goes from the top corner of the door to an eye screw on the wall and down to the weight. The weight is adjusted to be just barely enough to pull the door closed, so the door is easy for the cat to push open. The cat walks through and then the door closes very gently and quietly.

From the other side, the cat can pull open the door. I stuck a little hook-handle on the bottom corner of the door, and the cat learned to paw the handle and pull the door open. Because the door closes so slowly and gently, it's easy for the cat to get through.

This lets the cat can come and curl up with me whenever he wants. It's quieter than a flappy cat door; he can come and go without bothering me or waking me up.
On the downside, you'll need to purchase each version separately. I bought it on Apple and then moved to Windows. I'm considering buying it again but I'm curious how well Obsidian would work for it considering it's free and has the rest of my life.
Surely it's more cost-efficient to treat the root cause of homelessness (likely 'high rent prices': See charts in https://www.sightline.org/2022/03/16/homelessness-is-a-housi...).
It's patently evident that the current social and political instability in the West is caused by ideological subversion carried out by their political enemies. The internet and social media have provided the perfect weapon to deliver disinformation and propaganda to manipulate the masses, and create a state of internal conflict and confusion. Modern warfare is no longer carried out by soldiers and artillery, but by words, videos and troll farms. Why waste resources investing in physical offense, when you can undermine your enemy via ideological means, using the same tools they built for you, and watch their political and social systems crumble from within? If nothing else, it makes the eventual physical offensive much cheaper and more effective.

This has been known for decades[1], yet the West has done little to stop it from happening. They engage in the same psyops, but information in the countries of their enemies is much more strictly controlled, so it has much less of an impact.

> If a nuke goes off in or near Ukraine (or any NATO country for as long as the conflict drags on), everyone will know exactly who was responsible.

If an actual nuke goes off (sabotage or accidental incidents involving a reactor could be a different story) blame-assigning press statements aren’t going to be the center of attention, is my guess.

Outside BofA, their balance sheets are healthy. There isn’t serious speculation of contagion out of the regional banks. We put in place regulations to prevent this after 2008. Numpties rolled it back for “community banks” in 2017 [1], and that’s why we have this problem.

Very real question, especially considering the two decades of trained helplessness that has been so successful.

Most software is resistant to understanding. Most software obfuscates & conceals.

Getting out of this trap requires more than business acumen & buyers. A sea change has to happen. We neglect the field, neglect our own involvement. Individual products can try to have healthier stances, but the system is diseased, the system enabled this rot. The remedy is more focus on General Systems Research, is on finding universal resonances & capabilities in computing & highlighting them & raising them up.

Whats needed now is an appeal to cool, an appeal to being competent & capable. The alpha geeks need to lead again, need to show their prowess, in a way that makes the paths of ignorance & ease look stupid. The home cloud people are, in my mind, the furthest forward at making these routes. But I also think there's huge universes of possibility at higher levels, for node based/flow based systems to radically reempower folks.

It's a hard ask. Building a healthy hopeful org can't happen in a vacuum, it has to be part of & parcel to already beneficial "open" currents. It's place by place, opportunity by opportunity figuring out how to play contribute without domineering, without consumerizing. There's no big playbool, but I think these ecosystems as they gain mass create buyers in volume, as participation & openness achieve critical mass.
So this is my latest question:

the new BIOS limits SOC voltate at 1.3V, but the whole point of this "DDR5-6000 sweet spot" claim is the ability to run at 1:1 with the memory controller/memory frequency, i.e. 3000 mHz (from DDR5-6000 Mt/s) to 3000mHz UCLK memory control. Infinity fabric, it appears, runs at its own frequency, 2000-ish mHz or something like that and is not tied to above.

So: with the BIOS limit to 1.3V SOC, will the max memory controller frequency be less than 3000 mHz? Is the new sweet spot then something like DDR5-5600?
Even with hardware like the raspberry pi Pico I still find myself programming them using C…
> In March, researchers examining the ocean off the east coast of North America found that the water's surface was 13.8°C, or 14.8°F, hotter than the average temperature between 1981 and 2011.

How does 13.8°C translate into 14.8°F, in any way? I thought at first maybe they were converting absolute temperatures, but that doesn't check out either. I'm sure ocean warming is hugely terrible but this casts doubt on the whole article.
It's more like having "free gas for people staying at this motel".

yeah, they hire lobbyists to do it for them so they don't have culpability, but you are right.
I already do that tbh. The internet is pretty redundant and you can find what you want anywhere.

CloudFlare blocks me from a part of the internet when I use anonymizing tools like Tor.
I assumed they just do that to fingerprint and track you.
Even the crypto thing to get a dozen or so passes after solving a riddle never worked.

So I have just moved on to websites protected by Akamai, or virtually anything but CloudFlare.
It's not just a political decision btw. It's just easier to move on than to try to fight CloudFlare or to become viral on HN to get support.

It shouldn't be up to the user to adapt, but to the website.
So then you can build up a good reputation by sticking with one IPv6 address, and you shouldn't have to deal with any silly bot restrictions at all.

There are territories that aren't recognized countries that have own currencies. For example, Somaliland has the Somaliland shilling. Also, there are oversea territories that have own currency. Like Bermuda has the Bermuda dollar.

Also, there are only 130 currencies that are independent. The rest are pegged to other currencies.

There are couple other shared currencies, like West African CFA franc, Central African CFA franc, and Eastern Caribbean dollar.

Is this a setup you've already built? Could you outline what you've glued together for this bot?
I'm curious why you seem to think that Tor is more legitimate to block than those behind CGNAT. There's been plenty of research showing on a per-connection basis, Tor is no more prone to malicious activity than connections from random IPs, and that it's only on a per-IP basis malicious activity is more likely. I.e., it's the same phenomenon as why CGNAT causes collateral damage. You could argue that Tor is opt-in and therefore less worthy of protection, but saying "users who want extra privacy deserve to be blocked, even when we know (as much as one can know) that they're not using it for malicious reasons" seems like a fairly dystopian premise.

I'm actually kind of glad more people are becoming aware of this problem, and hope it finally spurs more interest in mechanisms that divorce network identity from IP addresses -- including the work Cloudflare is doing on Privacy Pass!

I was going to post this exact interview. What's crazy is that the tools to do this are now so much more powerful and far-reaching. Worth a watch.
I don't understand a quite relevant aspect in this kind of topic: if AI regulates us, it should be caused by superior intelligence of the respective AI¹. In that case it would be better for us if it regulates us.

It may be disturbing or uncomfortable, but if we create something more intelligent than us, which wants to regulate us for our own protection (even in a more global context than we are able to grasp), where is the issue there?

We'd be like children, which need our protection despite they mostly don't like that, depending on their age.

¹ if it wouldn't, why should it regulate us? Couldn't we defend ourselves?

We brought on via acquisition a bunch of Windows devs. It turns out we can't even clone the repository onto their laptops: some files in the repo have ":" in the filename, which is forbidden. There's a "aux.rs", also a verboten filename in Windows. And then there were some that differed only in case, which honestly I don't know how we manage that, as the non-Windows side is macOS, and yet roughly once per year someone introduces two files, same name, differing case into the repo.

> that "CRT" shader

Okay … that's not what CRTs looked like. Like, the curve seems way overdone compared to my memory, and IIRC the "lines" affect was really only visible on TV/camera. I have no memory of noticing it IRL, and I spent plenty of time at a command prompt.

(E.g., this random example — https://i.redd.it/1s3ny22b2va51.jpg — matches my memory pretty closely.)

(Also there were flat screen CRTs, but those were relatively late to the game and were rapidly obsoleted by actual flat screens.)

Edit: but also I want to play a round of Hack¹ with that shader.

¹i.e., quest for The Amulet of Yendor; you might know the newer incarnation, NetHack, but I didn't play that until flat screens, I think; the CRT time would have been on Hack.
