I actually think that's not "that wrong". You pay social security to the government, you pay car tax to the government and (to some part in Switzerland) the health insurances are tightly coupled to the government. Bank statements missing and the government already has 80% of your tax form.

Reddit feels like /was 3 firms.

A sort of platform? Ads, compliance, support

A media firm - What they had with the old AMA and an employee helping guests.

I dont see any of these hitting Platform numbers. I do see it being a titan in popular culture.
Let slide my ass, they were intentionally yanked off the table by monied interests. I distinctly remember my reaction the first time I encountered an actual honest-to-fuck ad campaign in an online space. Shock, followed my a grudging smirk at the novelty of it, followed by months of concerned chatter among the "netizens" I interacted with about what it would mean for the web if advertising or any other form of money scheme were permitted online, followed by dire (and entirely prescient) predictions of what the internet might devolve into if the floodgates were opened to the idle masses through mass commodification of connectivity coupled with a flood of bullshit zero quality content laid as bait.

As a former theoretical physicist who has worked for LHC, by the time LHC was being built we had enough knowledge of high energy physics to predict events below 10TeV with very high accuracy, the black hole thing was pure nonsense perpetrated by lay people who has read a bit of pop sci.

Meanwhile, I don’t think we know enough today to conclusively say there are no hostile microscopic lifeforms on the moon (maybe beneath the surface?). We don’t even know the deep sea on Earth very well.
I dont have the source at hand, but soviets also preffered republicans to the left, since they could always make a dral with republicans while the lwft was too ideological.
> North america was pretty isolated from europe but bad things still happened.

I don't think this and the hypothetical moon pathogen are comparable. In the case of smallpox in North America, the native Amerindian population had no acquired immunity to smallpox but smallpox had already evolved to be very effective at spreading through human populations. But in the case of lunar pathogens, both the pathogen and humans would be new to each other. The lunar pathogen would not be evolved to spread in humans.
Ah, I'd forgotten about the similarity to Mailman's moderation. Right, that works because there's a centralized approval gateway (the mailman code on the mail server) which can also strip out the secret before distributing the message to the list members.

Since NetNews had no central authority, every news server had to judge the validity of posts for themselves. And obviously they couldn't all know the moderator secret without it leaking immediately. Nowadays we'd have a moderator cryptographically sign the message contents. Actually this should have been possible back then too (RSA in 1977 plus a public key published in the newsgroup definition which already held the moderator email address?), but it was not used.

Newsreaders did not show the Approved header. People often stuck fun or funny stuff in there, like easter eggs for those who knew to look.

I really want to like Raycast, since its plugin ecosystem is better integrated than Alfred's, but every time I try it, I keep stumbling against its multi-step wizard-style interface, when what I want is a GUI CLI.

I want to type a bunch of words (with autocomplete), and hit Return when done, and Alfred makes me hit "Return" (or something else) in the middle of some sequences, hides results until I do, and is generally slower to use than Alfred.
> I am probably the minimal target market for the mac pro m2 ultra. I am an artist and I do a lot of 3D rendering. I think it's a great price and I would love to own one, but I wouldn't even consider it unless it had support for Nvidia GPUs.

Please don't get me wrong, but when I said that Apple seemed to have narrowed their target audience to the point where I was confused who the target audience even was - I was taking stuff like your use case into account when I said that!

For my own personal use cases? Ehh. I don't need a $7000 Mac Pro. A $2000 Mac studio would suffice, but it doesn't do the one thing I wish any of these machines did - and that's accept a bunch of m.2 NVME SSD cards!

Honestly I always thought a "more pro" laptop would be one where you could open a door on the bottom and have a couple of m.2 slots.

Anyway, the last Mac Pro that I really would've fit in the target audience for was the original. Those were great. I have a trash can because I always loved that design and got an incredible deal on one. I'll probably pick up one of the last intel ones if/when I find a killer deal on one.

I ended up just switching to building my own PC desktops and using the Mac Pro for things that I prefer using a Mac for.

How do you offer proprietary stateful services or applications without limiting the storage and management of personal data to a single machine?

I love being able to pick up my phone with the same browser tabs I was just looking at on my computer. I love being able to order lunch with the credit card I added to my virtual wallet on my cell phone. I also understand that developing features requires real-world input data.

An observation I have made of my grandparents, who certainly had a bit of money, is everything they own is high quality and has lasted them years.

My grandfather still has his Hickey Freeman suits and sports coats tailored and repaired by a local menswear shop. Their Dualit toaster still works while I have personally gone through many Cuisinart toasters. Their technics AV components still work with their high quality speakers. Their Sony Trinitron TVs still work. Their pots and pans from their wedding are still in active use. Their Pyrex continues to store leftovers decades on. I am currently using the Minolta film camera and lens that my grandfather bought in the 80s for traveling around the world with.

When I go to their home, I am always in awe of the high quality objects that still function perfectly fine and can all be passed down. When I look at many of the things my parents own and most of the things I own, I see less and less of that. Our clothes are cheaper. Our pans less resilient. Our technology is less repairable.

Buying well certainly leads to a longer lifespan for objects. However, I find that’s becoming tougher and tougher to find these days.

This. It's either a custom browser/user-agent, and/or also a proxy. The idea that services can mandate what software/hardware you use to access them is IMHO a horrible overreach that came along with the "API" concept (see the ongoing Reddit API debacle for another example of this.)
Yeah it's cache all the way down. CPU has L1, L2, L3 for instructions cache. Server has ramcache, then SSD cache. Then apps with SQL almost always use redis/memcache as first level cache. Then for network side we have CDN which is basically a glorified webcache, even at router/switch there is cache for all the stuffs.

A potentially insightful line of inquiry that the article does not explore is how and when did the practice of living (or pretending to live) nude end.

Its pretty clear that the spread of Christianity had dramatic cultural implications way beyond purely metaphysical and religious aspects. A very large package of customs, morals and behaviors (including any hint of nudity) got summarily junked.

But there is already the intermediate Roman period where it seems to be less significant. Maybe Roman authors offer some clues.
When I got my MacBook I thought "hey it would be neat to install gcc and friends using Nix". I struggled through outdated documentation to add packages, mixed up editing the files and `nix-env --install`, struggled with the `nix search` command requiring flakes or something, and never did figure out how to even update my package versions. Earlier I also tried installing NixOS and never actually got any use out of the disk at all.

I think their secret is being deeply in touch with a certain synth subculture. Elektron is a companion company in that niche.

Their PO-2x series, for instance, was designed by Linus Åkesson a.k.a LFT. A lot of his coding and hardware projects have hit the HN front page.

I have a feeling many "serious" studio people scoff at this subculture, especially outside Sweden... But you shouldn't scoff at Sweden when it comes to music production.

No way this is true. The majority won't even know that it's a thing, let alone have it as a goal.
> Are they experiencing being Chinese through sharing the Chinese history, or are they being Chinese through sharing Chinese values?

I don't think that'd be a meaningful distinction for most people. The history is deeply intertwined with the values

> Could black people go to China and share those values and experiencing being Chinese or does the fact that black people do not share Chinese history

I'm actually not quite sure what "share history" really means in practical terms. Most people don't in a personal capacity connect with historical events.. But the reason you don't see black people "become Chinese" is mostly because the culture is basically too big and deep to integrate with. Maybe a rabid sinophile could learn to live like a local - but that's so exceedingly rare that it'd always be a novelty.

Europeans often joke that America doesn't have culture and history , and the reality is that it's pretty bare bones and you can "catch up". Western individualism is easy to swallow and for the rest we're pretty flexible.

To give you a more concrete motivating counterexample. I've met American born Chinese in Taiwan - locals always view them as "other" bc they didn't grow up immersed in the culture and history and its always obvious. They ethnically match, but they aren't local

> I struggle to understand how or why there are 300,000 items in the average American home

It would be interesting to count everything in our home. The author says they don’t count clothing, but I wonder if the article includes clothing. I probably have 10,000 screws/bolts/nuts/washers/nails/etc. in the bins in my garage. Do I count all those separately? We have thousands of books. The kitchen has lots of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, trays, etc. Do we count all the food items separately? I have a 5 gallon bucket of all purpose flour, a 5 gallon bucket of wheat flour, bags of bread flour, a separate canister of flour on the countertop… do I count all of those separately? I start to think of all the things in the shed, in the garage, in closets, and bedrooms. 300,000 probably isn’t far off.
I’m disappointed he projects some sort of idealised aloof moral superiority on anything non human, as though humans are obviously morally inferior to any possible other species. That our failings are somehow objectively inexcusable.

He chooses dolphins. The primary reproductive strategy of many dolphins is to gang up on a female, beat her into submission and gang rape her. They also routinely murder the infants of rivals. They’re vicious predators, with all the behaviours that come with that. Given the right context of communication it’s a likely a group of dolphins would side with us to exterminate another group to take their territory and females, as condemn us for anything.

Oh but we can’t call it rape or murder because that’s projecting human values. He’s doing exactly the same thing.

I’m not saying humans are beyond criticism or that his points against us are wrong. He makes a lot of actually very good points. I’ve discussed his ideas with my kids before.

It’s just trying to portray humans as specially, egregiously worse than any conceivable comparison is kind of stupid frankly. It’s children’s fairytale morality.

The EU has made a big pot of money available to try to get an EU cloud provider, a lot of people are interested in that money.

I just don't think most of these people grasp how complex it's going to be. None of the existing EU hosting providers have succeeded in providing even a small subset of the services AWS provides. You also just can start out with an S3, SQS and EC2 clone anymore, customers expect more features from day one.

Bootstrapping an new cloud provider is going to cost and insane amount of money and billions of Euros, all of which may be wasted if the EU and US can reach an agreement on data processing.

As an example, look at Google, they have the money, the people and the technology, and they are having a hard time competing with AWS and Azure.

I bought an OP-1 field on a whim because I saw one used like new at -25% its original price and I couldn't resist. I expected to immediately regret it because it's very, very costly and I never produced music, but after a couple weeks with it I am very glad I bought it, it is a lot of fun to use. It's very powerful and also very limited at the same time, which is a good thing because you don't have to overthink things, just record. It's so simple you can use it with your eyes closed after a week.

Yes, you can spend $200 to get bitwig + an akai mpk which does so much more... But it's a completely different experience, and you will likely just get lost in the near infinite amount of parameters.

You could also buy an SP-404 and other professional gear and stay way below what you would pay a single Op-1 (nevermind the field) but then you have N pieces of unwieldy equipment instead of a slick, portable one.

It is a very unique piece of gear. It's definitely way overpriced though... Maybe deservedly so, it's one of those products whose value is greater than the sum of its parts.

Still, at the end of the day, it's a toy. If you want to have fun, buy it. If you want to actually produce music, look at professional equipment.

How would the law distinguish what jobs can and can't be done remotely? It's not objective. You've got to be kidding me if you think the law can tell a business whether an employee can perform their duties remotely or not... LOL I'm trying to even imagine the wording... please provide some example prose.

Anyway... you're deeply gravely missing the entire nuance: management/leadership at Google is arguing that "the job" of a general employee expected to be a collaborative team member can't be done completely remotely to a quality level or at a velocity that is acceptable for their business. Sure there are exceptions that the business decides are okay, like that ops guy working 3rd shift from Seychelles who isn't building product and closes all his incidents in an acceptable time window that meets SLAs, he's allowed. But they are exceptions, not the rule.

Which paper books about development are worth paying for?
The response is a bit knee-jerky and emotional. A lot of people find it upsetting that human thinking can be approximated by AI.

The demands for proof stem from this emotional response and a misunderstanding of how science actually works. There is plenty of evidence and theories. Most of that evidence is of an empirical nature. It suggests that GPT 4 can do some interesting things and that artificial neurons cluster and fire in ways similar to those in real brains. That's a theory that is backed by some of this evidence. And it is of course not completely accidental because that sort of was the intention by those that constructed the neural networks. You could say that neural networks apparently work as intended.

The scientific way to dismiss that theory would be proving it wrong. That's what science does: gather evidence and facts, come up with theories that explain those, and then try to find proof that counters those theories and explanations. And then you replace them with better ones. Falsifying theories is how science move forward. You don't prove them right but you fail to prove them wrong. Insisting something is false without doing that is very unscientific.

Human brains are more than just neurons of course. The article actually calls that out. There's a lot of chemistry in our brains that directly controls what it does. That's why people enjoy taking certain drugs; those literally change the way our brain operates. Coffee is a drug that many people find useful. Learning especially is associated with endorphins. You get a little endorphin rush when you figure something out. Some people like this so much that they become scientists.

Artificial neural networks don't really model any of that. But nobody is saying that they are the same; just that they do similar things in similar ways; as can be observed via experiments and the use of MRI scanners. We don't really understand why that is but the similarity is easily observed and a valid theory is that an ANN captures enough of the complexity of a brain to be able to do interesting things. Which is of course backed up by plenty of empirical evidence in the form of people having used GOT-4. People seem to struggle to articulate what it is that is missing exactly that would prove that theory wrong. Lots of people that want that to be wrong, not a lot coming up with better theories. But of course some scientists are working on that and the prospect of them figuring this out is what truly scares some people.
