Oops, lack of licenses was my bad - good catch! Just added LICENSEs to clarify that both the game (https://github.com/wordbots/wordbots-core) and the parser (https://github.com/wordbots/wordbots-parser) are MIT-licensed.
IP4 already has the concept of subnet routing in 32 bits. Let's say we add 1 more byte for country: 0 = Legacy, 1 = USA, … 127 = Vanuatu.

IP6 didn't add one byte, it added 12! I think 64bits is plenty (as mentioned astronomically larger than 32), and still looking for reasons to change my mind.
This is specifically about EU law. From what I remember, EU has directives that any such scanning must be appropriate to the threats and benefits gained. It looks like here lawyers say it is not, which is kinda expected.
No need to be pedantic. Discord Inc has their own cloud ecosystem built on top of Google. Discord "servers" aren't unique instances deployed on bare metal. It's multi-tenant SaaS just like Slack.
Sure, here’s a trivial example: It radicalizes or otherwise deceives an employee at a virus research lab into producing and releasing a horrific virus.

The guy at Google already demonstrated that AIs are able to convince people of fairly radical beliefs (and we have proof that even humans a thousand years ago were capable of creating belief systems that cause people to blow themselves up and kill thousands of innocent people).

P.S. I was not characterizing your opinion, I was speaking in the voice of an ant.
Most of those cities on the less than 100k list have Dems in government as well, but imo this isn't a Dem-GOP issue and more of a "urban" versus "rural" issue - specifically these are all cities that have been left behind due to an oversized population of minorities (eg. Anchorage+Fairbanks for Native Americans, Memphis+Pine Bluffs+Monroe+Alexandria+Little Rock for African Americans, ABQ+Lubbock for Latino Americans) and severely deindustrialized (eg. Memphis, ABQ, Lubbock, Little Rock, Danville) due to bipartisan support of globalization in the 1990s and the collapse of the energy sector in the 1990s-2000s
Increase the ratio of spawn to substrate, and ensure that it's mixed very evenly, as that will increase the surface area for growth. So it will colonize faster.

If you're growing it in a jar, ensure that you make a couple of tiny airholes in the lid. The fungus needs oxygen to grow. But if the holes are too big then fungus gnats can get in, and you will find maggots in the mycelium, which you don't wont.

Also if you have a moldy jar, leave it for a couple of months. You might find the mushroom fungus has overrun the mold eventually.

And finally, Oyster mushrooms can't grow on pine woodchips, by the way.
You interpreted my remark backwards. What I meant to say was that refinancing in the past would not have triggered assessment, so the fraction of properties refinanced doesn’t imply properties that are assessed above market value. Owners can always ask for a downward assessment, without a change of control.
I wasn't saying anything about course of action. Everyone has their own weights and values on pros and cons of everything.

All I'm saying is once the data genie leaves the bottle, anything could happen to it, regardless of promise or intent. Emails that I sent 20 years ago could still be out there on a drive or tape somewhere, and until every copy of it disappears, it could be used in the future by anyone for anything. Maybe it already has, I wouldn't know. The only way for it not to be used is if I never made it. So instead of dismissing this as naive absolutism, take it as a public service announcement to "think before you use" any service.
There's still a ton of performance benefit that can be gained by keeping your read pipeline full, and you can most easily keep your read pipeline full by making it guessable by doing readahead. It doesn't need to be strictly disk-layout sequential, file-layout sequential will usually do.

But you’re not limited to the touchscreen. The iPad has excellent external mouse support. I’m using Apple’s folio keyboard/trackpad combo to type this right now, but any USB or Bluetooth mouse will work. Even gaming mice work.

Other caveman use nuke to wipe out city. Nuke scary and hurt. No understand nuke. Nuke caveman bad.

Is AI closer to fire or closer to nukes and engineered viruses? Has fire ever invented a new weapon system?

By the way: we have shitloads of regulations and safety systems around fire due to, you guessed it, the amount of harm it can do by accident.
There is no conspiracy here--just self interest.

You could do exactly as you say. But what's your incentive?

You have to invest a lot of money up front for a possible killing on the back--but you could get burned horribly. Or you can leave the system at capacity and jack up your prices for a known increase on the front with very little risk.

What you are really asking is: Why don't companies face new competitors regularly?

Why is there no competitor to Apple and Android? Why are Kansas City Southern and Canadian Pacific trying to merge instead of compete for each other's customers? Why are there so few auto companies? Why was there no competitor to SVB such that their portfolio became to loaded with a specific type of company? Why is there no competitor to Cal-Maine who controls almost 25% of the egg supply?

The answer to that is: a combination of anti-trust and monetary policies.

Lax anti-trust enforcement means it is almost always cheaper to buy a competitor than compete and put them out of business. Monetary policies in the US favored creating passive things like real-estate holdings rather than active businesses.

(Side note: Future Electronics, in fact, did exactly what you would expect in the middle of the Covid supply chain breakdown. They had more inventory than average so made a LOT of money while it lasted. However, even they eventually succumbed to not having any upstream supply.)

Far from it, sequential IO optimization isn't dead.

Sequential reads need to be optimized to produce optimal performance for selected workload. That usually means applying a lower level of inline compression.

In some cases deduplication works better before, in other after, compression. Sometimes post-process dedupe is more suitable than inline.

Then there's erasure coding and data protection methods that are still being optimized for NVMe with sequential workloads, including random workloads which are being sequentialized to work better with latest flash media.

I would even say developments in sequential IO are becoming more important than random IO.
> they feel are more advantageous for generating interest from future employers

I'd love to see data on this. Old advice guides against hiring such people, since they're liable to return the favor on you. But maybe the cost-benefit has changed.
Language models can also tell you they’re not AI.
Litestream author here. I haven't personally tried Syncthing on SQLite databases but I suspect it wouldn't work well. Syncthing doesn't have any concept of SQLite's locks so even in the best case scenario where you only have one writer and the replica is read-only, the reader on the replica would have pages changed out from under it by Syncthing and that would appear corrupt to the reader.

One case where you could make it work is if you sync'd across multiple computers but only used one at a time. I mean, it's still dangerous but it seems possible.
Show HN: A revolutionary way to strategize emails
Products tailored to an individual's preferences are the ultimate way of indicating that he or she has a high standard of living.

Most corporations slowly dwindle away by not taking into account their customers' changing preferences, which we all know can change day by day. However, we aim to target the base preference that an individual will still buy, regardless of how often their preferences change. As weeks and months go by, even the base preference changes.

This is what we are trying to address with bespoke. We know we can gather a lot of information from our customers using all the tools available, but what would be the baseline product that you need to launch, manufacture efficiently, and make a profit from? It's difficult to discern things from a sea of data, but we aim to make it easy and decipher the exact data.

Every analogy can be stretched to the point that things don't match up. My original point is only about the skill ceiling.

> Bowling has objective markers for performance (160/300). Eating doesn't

Neither does software engineering, the thing discussed in the linked article.

> The skill ceiling for chopsticks is extremely low.

Occasionally foods can be slippery or delicate. Then the grip force (which generates friction) and precision matter.
Not starve if left to their own devices. But if they're anywhere even close to a city or town, or a group of other people who don't have those things, they better be prepared to defend it.
Regarding M:TG vocabulary, Wordbots's syntax is a little bit different but a lot of the same effects are possible. For example, M:TG's Flametongue Kavu's "When Flametongue Kavu enters the battlefield, it deals 4 damage to target creature." becomes "Startup: Deal 4 damage to a robot" in Wordbots.

Some of the cards that people have been making so far in Wordbots are rough reinterpretations of cards from other games (M:TG, Hearthstone, Faeria, etc). Of course, many cards from these games wouldn't be possible to reimplement in Wordbots, as it doesn't have anywhere near the breadth of mechanics that these more-sophisticated games do. But also, there are some mechanics that are only possible in a game like Wordbots – such as https://app.wordbots.io/card/cnrssvyxfsp:
> Replace "1" with "2", "2" with "4", "3" with "6", and "4" with "8" on all cards in your hand.
> Overall, full mystical-type experiences seem unlikely to be induced with doses below 200 µg

I thought that was the point. Did I read this article right, and there are essentially no modern studies of LSD use in the 200-500µg range?
But honestly, citizenship is such a test. If they had the chance to become Latvian years back and chose not to, they're foreign nationals. Sucks to be them, but that's a choice they made re: integration and Russia made worse by dumping on its neighbours. Of which Latvia is one of the "formerly Russian" neighbours.

People are citizens, permanent residents or people under some kind of implicit or explicit visa. The latter two categories are "granted", and the first category can be revoked for multiple-citizenships.
Using 'im feeling lucky' from the neuron viewer is a really cool way to explore different neurons. And then being able to navigate up and down through the net to related neurons.
Private networks are old and busted; zero-trust & E2EE is the new hotness. (well, if 14 years is considered new)

The idea of a network as a delineation of security or trust is inherently flawed and should be considered an anti-pattern. Reliance on "private" networks merely moves attacks to the network level, making a very large target and exposing more at once. Zero trust is where the whole world should be moving: explicit authorization added at a fine-grained level to each thing each user wants to access. But people haven't been exposed to this idea yet in their day to day lives, so they can't let go of the old paradigms of firewalls and networks.

You wrote it beautifully and if I can add - software then was a tool. Like a good old hammer. You only bought a new one when needed, or a different type for a new task. Today, software is a service.

So emotional.
I defend the termination, based on what I read and have experienced on Twitter, today:

The fired employee named the executive, on Twitter, in the same thread before being fired.

And, Twitter, as you're all probably aware, can be a cesspool of under-moderated hate, lately.

The company and executive should reasonably expect that the executive will receive a lot of hate from randos, due to the tweet thread.

I suspect this tweet thread opens Unity Inc up to risk by funding, through keeping on the payroll, a person who, in turn, drives hatred and vitriol online to another one of its employees. So I imagine unity decided to put an end to this liability.

> Hardly anyone bought a NeXT because they were so expensive and therefore didn't have enough software. They were pretty good for rapidly developing GUI software though, so there were a few companies, specifically banks, that used some of them for internally developed software.

I guess I'm to used to city life with 10K+ property taxes to consider that it could be so low. So yeah.. that wouldn't be much of an issue.
> It made me wonder this exact point. If you wrote a book on a very rare subject that you were basically the only popular source of detailed info on... And now these models just answer questions for people without having to buy the book.. is that really fair?

Dr Burns seems to have done well, so in his case I'd think he was at least adequately compensated for his life's work. You can't answer "fairness" on copyright in all cases just by that, but this particular case I feel there's little or no harm done.

If people start selling these GPT things because they let you avoid fair recompense, that's another thing we'll have to work out as a society.
And that there was no gaslighting going on. The title turned hypothetical into actual. Which means it was the poster that was lying (but not gaslighting).

It sounds like Instagram was blocking a Pixelfed tag. They removed the block and Pixelfed is saying they have proof so Instagram can't lie about it. Instagram hasn't lied and probably hasn't said anything about it.
The whole 16.x series has been awful on my iPhone 11, I've been on dev betas since day 1. Terrible thermals and battery.
Yeah, you need to add .git to the ignores. Works very well when you have only one repo checked out, for instance to auto-sync a deployment while you type, without having to commit and do CI/CD. With more than one repo you should be sure they are all on the same branch/commit before you sync. If not, you typically get a mess that requires some git-foo to clean up!

> fundamental phenomenon of societies

It's dangerous to assert that this is a "fundamental" behavior, because it's not always true. Certainly, in USA and the broader West there is an almost total lack of vision right now, from leaders to cultural fabric. We obsess over Nth-derivative Disney films: where is Ursula Le Guin?

Visionaries are rejected (or killed, in the 60s) for rocking the boat, innovation has been gutted by worn as a skin suit by Wall St. We are totally uncurious about our foreign peers, some of whom are outpacing us in substantial ways.

There's Möbius Sync, but iOS restrictions means that it can't work in the background or access folders like it does on Android/Windows/macOS/Linux.
Using resilio (which is NOT open source, of course and is actually kinda abandoned) until they implement selective sync (also "cloud" files browser). This is THE feature that is the deal breaker for me to switch. No, I don't sync hundreds of gigabytes from my personal cloud to my fokken phone, or even laptop, or even work PC. Still want access to all of them on demand.
From the official Starship users guide:

> The Starship payload fairing is a clamshell structure in
which the payload is integrated. Once integrated, the
clamshell fairing remains closed through launch up
until the payload is ready to deploy. An example
sequence of payload deployment is shown in Figure 3.
To deploy the payload, the clamshell fairing door is
opened, and the payload adapter and payload are tilted
at an angle in preparation for separation. The payload
is then separated using the mission-unique payload
adapter. If there are multiple payloads on a single
mission, a rotating mechanism can be provided to
allow each satellite to separate with maximum
clearance. Once separation is confirmed and the
payload(s) have cleared the fairing, the payload fairing
door is closed in preparation for Starship’s return to
Earth.

Damn, that's some dedication to document it so nicely. Soldering to such tiny pads quite tricky. Kudos to Framework!
Yeah I agree completely.

I have been thinking lately about that as a defining feature of science fiction, or I guess speculative fiction more broadly; thought experiments into other "us"es. What it's like to be something else. I don't mean to say that as if it's some novel position, just a particular facet that has been resonating.

The eschatology angle is a super interesting one I hadn't considered. If anything though, especially for the millenarian/apocalyptic flavors, it seems like almost the platonic ideal of being unable to imagine a successor; we are the end, and when we end, the world ends, preserving us forever.

And incidentally, there is still resistance there. "Don't immanentize the eschaton!"
That looks like it might be what I saw; of course all the tiny cryptos are run on only a few machines, but the cloud providers are huge.
This is massively important, especially for line of business apps or tools that the user touches hundreds pf times a day. GUIs are great when there are multiple, equally likely paths that the user could take. But LOB apps tend not to be like that: there is a mainline path (or very small number of paths) that dominates all others, and apps that let the user keystroke/tab/enter their way through these hot paths are waaaay fast.

For US people, look at how fast the employee in your local Costco can look you up on their ancient-looking text app.

You can do this in a GUI, or at least, you could in native apps, to some extent, with a series of tab presses to traverse the interface, and in the peak VB5 era this wast kinda ok, but not great, and webapps are a hot mess for this use case. If I'm shopping for flights, a gui webapp is great: lots of paths are valid, and i can poke around. If I'm a gate agent looking for the last seat on the plane out of O'Hare, I want speed.
Quite amazing how so many environments of floating point values make the mistake of treating them as equal. YAML 1.2 does the same thing:

Any sufficiently large system will have measurable incentives and disincentives, ceilings and floors, in place of personal loyalties and trust as you would in small groups of people.

The unfortunate outcomes of them of course would be different with different political and economic systems, we know the ones that socialism created in the XX century, we are still getting slapped by the ones created by capitalism and representative democracy now, with new ones coming up hot.
> Based on the influx of illegals

Everyone that ever violated a law including speeding or jaywalking is technically an 'illegal' including probably you and your family members. Lets stop addressing human beings as illegals.
This is a reasonable concern; this would be worth raising to Apple if you have a channel to do so. Being able to pin apps to specific versions may indeed be a requirement if your livelihood depends on their stability.

The stack is actually great to work with. Having every property in React typed is nice and sharing classes between front and backend ensures you can't accidentally send the wrong fields or types.
> Google may make good use of this tech. But it would be better for all of us if everyone did and didn't have to pay them a fee for the privilege.

This is reverse logic because then Google would not have published the tech and would have kept it a trade secret.
I use AirTags to help keep track of my young kids at busy places, and the "safety" measures interfere with that as well (when thinking of a hypothetical abduction).

Personally I think the stalking fear is overblown, and it's unfortunate that they interfere with other use cases to prevent that one.

I was a kid here in the late 90s/early 2000s.

It's still as crummy now as it was then. I remember seeing drug addicts on market as a kid, as well as the gang crap in Hunter Points (what's now called Mission Bay - India Basin has been renamed Hunters Point) and Mission District.

The difference is Mission, Northern Tenderloin/"Lower Nob Hill", Western Addition/"Hayes Valley", and Hunters Point had been extremely gentrified at a shallow level by transient white collar workers and creative types (artists, musicians, etc) in their 20s and 30s (aka. Most SF HN commentators)

Neither group started families let alone sent kids to public schools in SF, nor were either group actively connected with electoral politics within SF (voting isn't connected), and the same issues that I saw in K-8 in SFUSD continue to persist.

Also, a massive proportion of SF's population cannot vote due to immigration status (around 40% last I checked). Add to that an addition 10-20% to represent unattached transplants and townies and the voting pie shrinks massively, so SF politicians end up pandering to the subset that votes instead
Definitely! I personally welcome more paid communities as a de facto spam/abuse/troll/commitment filter.

I'm interested both as a participant and as... let's call it what a positive mental-health online community looks like post FB/IG/TikTok.

edit/ more actionable feedback:
while I am interested, there's a misalignment between "lightweight commitment for me to check this community out" and "pay $50 to peek into something I'm not sure is right _for me_". For example, the cost of many communities is "create an account" and that seems like a high bar for most people in itself.
DHTML was basically just a buzzword for the first SPA interactions.

The first, real uses cases for XMLHttpRequests was sending chunks of HTML over the wire and updating the DOM via JavaScript - so “Dynamic HTML”
