Hey there, I've been privately toying for some times with the idea of repository governance that would based around some democratic principles, and I've finally put up the time to get to something that works, and looks like it could be extended easily.

As you can see the code is succint, yet it runs, on a free GitLab account, so I guess the proof is in the pudding as they say. We're open to adding new voters, or "Governauts" as we call them, and the goal would utimately be to have a 100% automated governance system, with no human maintainers at all.

I hope some of you find this interesting, fun, or thought provoking.

Happy hacking!

PS: In case you are unfamiliar with GitLab but still want to fork the project, LMK so that I can share what behind-the-scene configuration is needed (not that much: access tokens, a CI schedule ... but it's not scripted... yet ;) )
> you can only cry over this “betrayal”, “mistreatment” and “cruelty” if you have lived a very protected life.

For some people, crying is just a way to deal with emotions. So please don’t judge.

I’ve been a professional software developer for more than 20 years. I still find myself weeping at work once in a while, especially when overwhelmed with hardship and negative feelings. I don’t see how this would be a sign of living “a very protected life.”

I hope this not true for most people. I feel like most people I work with respond well to honesty as opposed to varnished corpo-speak. I’m a new senior engineer and have just started speaking in a relatively unguarded way if that makes any difference.
Man, I don’t know how electricity works, I was writing test scripts in Perl.

In 1982, that was a huge upgrade at the time. CGA’s graphic mode as 320x240. Hercules’ graphic mode resolution was 720 × 348. EGA didn’t arrive for two more years. Anyone doing graphics before EGA would use Hercules cards. Even once EGA arrived, while it did add 16 colors, the resolution was only 640 × 350 in color mode. If you were doing CAD, every pixel counted.
Once you understand that "woke" is basically a kind of white internecine competition then it stops being surprising that the "woke" movement doesn't really care about non-white persons except as pieces in that game. These events are of course entirely consistent with that interpretation, and so far I've never seen it falsified.
Just goes to show you the silliness of how people use ethical systems. These systems are generalized out of example cases, not created de novo in concept-space and then applied unquestioned to every new example case.

The real world has many more real variables and tradeoffs than any ethical system could reasonably account for even abstractly. The systems provide a surface to bounce new cases off of, but IMO if an ethical system says it's preferable to pick near-certain death of say 1 million people (a mere 1.4% hypothetical casualty rate) over the certain death of 250,000 people, it should very obviously be discarded for that case.

Because of this, one of the major proposals for a better compile-time reflection system in Rust is not going to get developed any further.

Surprised this isn't on the front page of the Globe and Mail....
I doubt it. It's the dream of the 1950s.

Flying cars waste a lot of energy in that whole "defying gravity" thing. It's sort of just the continuation of the dream of "I can travel when and where I want, because there's no meaningful cost of fuel or emissions to care for."

Our best hope is more integrated transport models; maybe electric vehicles with a few dozen kilometres range, because their primary purpose is last-mile travel once people leave far-more-efficient rail networks.
I think it would be pretty shocking if the opposite were true. I imagine most randomly generated turing machines are pretty trivial.
> not in the gov’ts power to tell the press how they should present things.

Is that really people’s understanding?

Governments the world over made it their business to control what what put out — through the MSM, and many other channels.

Many outlets were cautious of breaching the rules. In many cases, control was hands off — through peer pressure, if you will — but there were many well-publicised cases of direct intervention (for example, but it’s only one example, see the Twitter Files).
I don’t think they lived long enough for it to be a problem.
I would guess the reason the cheaper ones don't have it is that making it removable implies making it accessible from the outside which implies adding a pump and hoses to pump the ink into it:

The slot for the box at my printer is at the back of it, not at the ink head, so the ink can only get there by pumping it.

I'm talking about RSUs, yes...apologies. I'm not saying they are getting FAANG level money. I'm saying that they often only report their base salary to sites like glassdoor/salary.com, and don't always note the RSUs and bonuses. Together, that's often 10-20% over what you see on those sites. Doesn't close the gap, of course.

Ian Hacking has died
I think you have a bit of an axe to grind. The British were pursuing a fabian strategy which led to intentional destruction of food and food-producing industries. That alone would make it basically impossible to deny that this famine is the result of British policy.

Presumably, since you are defending the actions of the British, you don't actually have any skin in the game - you're not like, a Bengali, who's grandparents starved as children. So I'm curious - why are you so strident? It's obviously not 'absurd' or 'offensive', from a cursory glance at the facts, to conclude that this is an anthropogenic famine.

If you want to argue against the preponderance of obvious facts, you have to do a bit more work, and start with the recognition that you're departing from the normal and prima facie understanding of what has occurred. You can't just try and browbeat people into counterintuitive conclusions with a mass of forceful and cherrypicked assertions.
How else could it work? I guess maybe a one-way hash would provide some level of anonymity but that's the best I can think of.

Is Football an Unsolvable Problem?
Milk consumption is pretty horrible for the environment (and I'm not even mentioning what happens to animals on milk farms). I say that as a (full-of-shame) milk drinker, but recommending milk because of vitamin D is pretty ridiculous to me.

There are so many vitamin D pills that are much cheaper than milk, and much better for the environment while having the same function.
Sure, if you have control over the source, but that is not always the case. CSV is very loosely specified and there are large variations in implementations.

I don’t think this issue should matter to everyone. But it matters to some in the broader community.
The problem is that with probability 1 a random problem will access an undefined memory position. Such program halt by definition.

This makes the result a lot less interesting. Sure random programs will typically halt before long, but with an illegal memory access ( in the parlance of the article, they read from the left of the turing tape)
> It doesn't matter to the end user if the end product (Phones, Tablets, TVs, routers, Home automation gadgets, etc) has ARM or RISC-V.

Yes but it's not about the end users and it matters for the producers. I mean if your core designs are 'open' and anyone can make just as good chips as you what are you competing on? It means you have no margins since you're selling a commodity, which means there is no incentive into investing anything into R&D (unless it allows you to cut production costs).

> In this space (that ARM is dominant in), the ISA isn't the end-product; the device is.

So all new chips will have to be designed in-house by the companies which make these devices (effectively eliminating 'middle-men' like Qualcomm, Intel, AMD etc.) so nobody is really competing on CPUs, since core design can no longer be part of your core business (the same way everyone is using Linux, Android, Blink/Chromium)? Wouldn't that lead to stagnation?

I don't really see this happening with hardware, though. Especially not high-end chips as long as you can gain a significant advantage by keeping your designs proprietary and all 'open' cores are not protected by something equivalent to GPL (which realistically would be very hard to enforce)
People have forked terminal emulators, desktop environments, and operating systems; so forking a programming language isn't that inconceivable. (-:

Sure, but you're also paying out the nose for that compactness.
zabzonk is obviously correct about the behavior of the control structures - that's not something I ever meant to disagree about.

The thread had had one poster state they find <= suspicious in a for loop, and another about any do-while loop. I don't think these are literally the same thing (hence "if you squint") but I think they share a meaningful similarity of adding an extra pass through the loop compared to the other form and I thought that was interesting.
Sure ive been meaning to review them and make a super compilation... tho I have a small backlog of projects... But the above reasons are the shortlist of health ones: sat fat, sugar, hormones, T1D, and Parkinsons. There are addl args along the lines of economics (subsidies that don't benefit large pops of minorities), animal welfare, osteoporosis, casein addictiom in cheese and similar. I've been wanting to collect, validate, and index all the references... but for now one has to get them from the videos. And some of them are actually in favor of milk, btw... but generally the ones in favor are single sources and /or by the dairy industry. But if you want strong bones and muscles, eat what strong animals like gorillas and bulls eat.
Even after all this time, I didn’t realise the distinction.

I thought it was based in the “China created it” vs. “came from bats” arguments, i.e., man made (and this novel; of at least partial descent that our immune system had never before encountered), versus natural.

Wow. Learn something new each day.
I tend to agree that debates about gpt being "alive" or "conscious" seem like red herrings: let's look at the emergent behavior and how that affects the world instead of guessing about its internal state.
Just taking examples from history:

Why didn't we just "unplug" Hitler and Goebbels? Or Marshall Applewhite? You don't need a powerful physical body(s) to cause tremendous amounts of harm before anyone can stop you. To most people of the time Hitler was a persuasive powerful voice on the radio, or words in a paper - things SOTA generative AI are already phenomenal at.
Literally everything I've seen in the first two categories is complete garbage.

You are assuming that you are aware of the origin of everything you read. I suppose that's possible, but unlikely. At this point the use of generative AI is widespread enough that it's likely that you've read material that you were not aware was AI generated, at least in draft form.
Thanks for pointing this out. I've corrected this in the article now.
Don't mix up internal honesty with public shit-talking. The former is welcome at almost all places.

I'm sure there are some companies that tolerate it when an employee criticizes them (or call them dishonest/disingenuous, as in this case) in an open, external forum, but this is most definitely not the norm. If you work for such a company, then lucky you, I guess?
Wouldn't the checkup crowd be on dialysis from age 60-80 while the no checkup crowd from 75-80?
Not that many is my guess. Most people get enough of vitamin D from supplements or foods that are reinforced with the vitamin. Exercise is pretty much the first thing you're told to try when diagnosed with mild depression.
Ask HN: Cheapest and simplest way to set up a data analytics stack?
I am developing a small project that needs to pull data from various sources, but the size probably won't exceed 20 gigabytes in 12 months.

Political books are a different animal than other books. You'll find political donors buying a huge number of copies to propel the book to the top of the charts to make a political statement. (my ideas can't be crazy if 50K people bought my book on the first day!)

Politicians use the books for fundraising and can end up with a lot of surplus books. I suspect that the donors that purchased Clinton's book needed to free up some garage / warehouse space and dumped them when they were no long a useful political tool.

> Lots of riscv implementations are closed source though

Exactly. Which potentially can make it worse than ARM, making it impossible for new players to enter the market at some point. Catching up would require massive investment and you can't just buy a competitive design of the shelf (looking at ARMs business model licensing your designs to other is just not a good deal and they are effectively still a monopoly in certain segments)
You then become immortalized as the curmudgeon who painted over culturally important artwork. Who knows how people would react? I'd say there's a good chance that your property would become a target for graffiti artists and vandals. You may have people in your life no longer want to associate with you. You'll definitely have strangers giving you the look for years to come after they find out what you did. You'll forever have to explain yourself.

From the study[0][1-pdf], the exercise routine was walking on a treadmill with adjustable gradient. The objective was to keep participants in the 50-60% heart rate range for 30 minutes, which was done by altering the gradient and speed. Including the 10 minutes warm-up and 10 minutes cool-down, this gave 4x weekly workouts of 50 minutes to the mostly 75+ year old patients.

Given that the participants were screened to be low-exercise individuals beforehand, this gives some evidence that "exercise more" is a reasonable treatment for low-activity seniors experiencing cognitive decline.

Because it stood out as weird to me, I want to remark that the study's participation requirements explicitly filtered out depressed patients, day-to-day impaired patients, and anyone left-handed (???).

I’ll give up and admit defeat, but I still think it’s stupid to dismiss animal intelligence. Perhaps some day we’ll discover how to communicate with octopi and we could then work with them, perhaps. Call me crazy, but imagine we could work with them to go to places humans couldn’t because of needs we have that octopi don’t? Maybe it’s easier to send them to the nearest star, or something, I don’t know.

WFH what?
Ever since computers got cheaper and smaller, we’ve found different ways to employ them where it would not have made sense before.

I suppose there are two main areas where the RaspberryPi is used: Embedded device and computer replacement.

For the embedded device case, what may have been an Arduino project pre-RaspberryPI became a, say, Python project running on a full Linux system. For this use-case, microcontrollers have gotten much more approachable and many development-grade embedded Linux boards have come out built to the standard of the Raspberry Pi and it’s ease of use.

For the computer replacement, I’m talking about the random media center boxes, tv-as-monitor, network server, or just low power box to use as a desktop. We have the new nucs and knock off or similar boxes because all they did was take a netbook without a screen and keyboard, slice up the main board so it fits in a square, and break out all the I/O ports. These things that can be had for $100-$400 are respectable, low-workload computers.

Has the Pi bubble burst? As long as these ostensibly brain-dead industrial control systems companies keep gobbling up the supply of them, yes. Has the embedded and small-computer bubble burst? Absolutely not.
> the whole Veneto region in fact lives from tourism

This has.not been true for more than 30 years. Veneto is the heartland of the original Benetton, a heavily industrialised region, the engine of the Italian North-East economic mini-boom of the 80s/90s (based on low-cost manufacturing). In fact, there is a massive duality between the tourism industry in Venice and the economy of the mainland, which is markedly reflected in politics (Venice tends to elect leftist mayors, while Veneto as a whole is very rightwing).

Losing the tourism industry would definitely be a blow to the economy, but Veneto would survive economically just fine.

Didn’t watch that playlist but in general the arguments against cows milk are:

- hormones from the cows and their supplements is in the milk and impacts our hormone system in negative ways

- antibiotics used excessively in cows are in the milk and have negative affects on an individual level and might also contribute to the bacteria antibiotic arms race

- saturated fats are generally bad and should be minimized in the human diet. Milk is full of them and they are direct causes of heart disease and other top killer health issues for people

- sugar argument similar to saturated fats but for diabetes

- milk production is generally inhumane in its treatment of animals and it’s on a pretty big scale
