I'm probing to get a better understanding of your belief system. How does it hold up under symmetrical cloning?

> What magic would transfer your consciousness into this clone?

I'll label:

* PM: Physiological "me" - personality, memories, train of thought, currently instantiated as a brain

* IM: "Immaterial" "me" - a "soul", impacted by the PM. May impact the PM or just be an observer (depending on variant of dualism)

From what I understand, you believe there's an IM controlling a PM, and the IM is a different kind of stuff that would not be cloned. The IM generally follows the same PM, but could be "shaken off" from too-large changes. On cloning of PM you think this happens (at the instant of cloning):

IM New soul
| |
PM PM

You ask "Would you control both bodies, see through both set of eyes" because you thought sunaurus is proposing this happens:

IM
/ \
PM PM

Whereas I (and I think sunaurus) don't believe in an IM. We think two identical PMs really are identical persons, including whatever we'd call consciousness:

PM PM

Others may believe that IMs do exist but supervene on the PM (so identical PM has identical IM arising from it):

IM IM
| |
PM PM
Communities coming together to protect themselves against a common enemy is something that we've been doing for perhaps a million years. We're actually quite good at it. But there hasn't yet been a market for tooling that brings those instincts into the realm of software. So far it has been "trust us, we're the vendor," and not "let's use this to trust each other but not our enemy".

I agree that our software supply chains are in their infancy. Regrettably, so is our ability to use software to inflict harm (if you haven't played Cyberpunk 2077, it has a pretty good take on this--you spend a lot of time killing people by hacking into their implants). I hate to be gloomy, but I think that as the threats become more real, more deadly, the supply chain integrity piece will have to level up as well.
This is basically how RNN encoder/decoder architectures worked. The encoder encoded the input as a single vector and the decoder would decode this into text (eg. for machine translation) [1]. However, fixed-length vectors generally required too much 'compression' to represent variable-length text, so people started adding attention mechanisms so that the decoder could also attend to the input text. And the seminal Transformer paper by Vaswani and others showed that you only need an attention mechanism and you could ditch the RNN (hence the title 'Attention is all you need') and here we are.

So, this has been possible already for quite a long time.

I hope you've heard of Clash of clans. It does have in-app purchases but its only to boost the progress really. I don't know if there are ads in it, as I use DNS based adblockers to avoid ads and trackers.
Skip to the last paragraph:

https://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/responding-dmca-takedown-no...

Fraudulent takedown notices and fraudulent responses create liability. There's probably room for a "no-win, no-pay" law firm that bills $500/hour to handle fraudulent DMCA takedown notices. Bonus points to them if they donate half their income to the EFF.
No more waterproof phones I guess. This saddens me. I find it very useful when driving my bike outdoors with it being mounted to my bike.
Drop in files (config in .d folders) are a core extension point of systemd and not a symptom of an overly engineered config system. These are how services are meant to be custom tailored to specific machines and even user's needs.

Let's say you need to pass a special flag to sshd on your system, a bad approach would be to go edit the distro shipped sshd.service file. Your change will work until the distro ships an updated file and you forget to hack in your change again.

Instead place a sshd.service drop-in config file in the appropriate place to customize the service as necessary. Your config tweak takes precedence over the distro shipped config, but doesn't live inside it or conflict with upstream changes.
I don't know about high quality but I'm also part of the group who are disappointed by how mobile games these days are simply Pay 2 Win or ads filled.

A few games I used to play during lockdown (no P2W and zero to very little ads):

1. Adventure Quest 3D

2. Critical Ops: Multiplayer FPS

3. Payback 2 - The Battle Sandbox (turn off internet to disable ads)

(I know you didn't ask for games but sources to find such games, but still sharing so as it may help someone :) )

Some thoughts:

1. Indie developer games or paid games often have a good quality

2. You might try gaming console emulators to play the console games on your phone (the old ones) but yea - it involves legal issues
Ask HN: What is proper email etiquette?
Is writing an email without spaces acceptable? Is it ok to write someone's first name instead of Dear, or Hi in front of it?
way back (well before Ethereum and NFTs), i hosted a blog on IPFS. DNS level stuff:

- TXT record with an IPFS content identifier

- A record pointing to an IPFS gateway that ran on my laptop (and was restricted to only serving my own content)

- fallback A records that pointed to the public IPFS gateways

i could publish new content from my laptop, and as long as i had one other reader who browsed it via native IPFS (i did), then i could pretty safely not worry about my own uptime.

that was pretty useful to me at the time who had no clue how to be a sysadmin and keep good uptime and whatnot.
IIRC they weren't directly involved in Redfall's development. They may have pushed for it to release when it did though.

HiFi Rush is exactly what you describe. Published by Bethesda but developed by a smaller studio. Very well received without requiring a huge investment.

> coexisted with Ice Age megafauna, with pictures showing what appear to be giant sloths, mastodons, camelids, horses and three-toed ungulates with trunks

"Coexisted" is a loaded term given that the coexistence lasted for maybe a couple hundred years before every single one of those was hunted to extinction.
Do you have justification for that 4000-6000 cal statement? Were you actually tracking this with weights/nutrition info carefully? Almost every has an extremely bad intuition on calories consumed, which leads to over/under estimation.

Also, if you were actually doing 4000cal one day and ~300cal the next (4 shots of vodka), your average cal count would still be 2150 across two days, which is perfectly fine.

Alternatively, if you actually are doing 20 mile hikes very regularly with that sort of weight, you truly could just be burning that much extra in calories. Long distance running/hiking burns an immense amount of calories.
> i have literally written 2016-18 so... yeah.

the thing that makes it confusing is that first you mention 2016-2018. Then you say you wonder if it is possible to order from AliExpress still. Then you add an edit saying just to see if you could you placed an order.

That's why it's easy to read your edit as saying that you placed an order today. Which then gets confusing when you say they got delivered :p
> No one is taking them up on it to turn around and sell.

And you know that how? Because you can't buy a server with it in it?

> Because OPENPower is ahead of RISC-V in most ways, with much better software support + IBM pushing it, yet has basically gained zero traction.

OpenPower was simply not open. It was 'marketing' open. It was tightly controlled by a few companies and they wanted to sell you expensive CPU.

Only way after RISC-V was successful did OpenPower finally change its license terms, by then it was already to late as RISC-V already had all the momentum.

Being from IBM is not actually a benefit for many companies.

We have seen far, far, far larger investments in RISC-V then we have ever seen in OpenPower. And I question if the software support is really that much better by now.

Ventana, Alibaba, Esperanto, Tenstorrent, SiFive are all investing lots of money, there is a lot of traction. I think we should be careful predicting 10 years ahead with any confidence.
Sometimes, but opening it shows you what you is making things go slow.
What I always thought was interesting was that when you take psychedelics, despite whether it's mushrooms, LSD, or 2C-B (and what have you), you can feel this little ball of energy in your stomach (particularly noticeable when starting to come up) that persists for most of the trip.

My woo-woo theory is that there's some kind of serotonergic activity happening in the gut (which is responsible for some ~95% of the body's serotonin production) that is so profound you can physically feel it.
Yeah, I honestly don't see the advantage.

What I would ask is that companies that create phones without replaceable batteries, should provide replacement by a reasonable fee (let's say no more than 9% the cost of the phone).
I like to annotate pdfs by hand, so import from Zotero into Notability on my ipad. Does anyone know of a good way to automatically reintegrate hand annotated pdfs back into Zotero? Ideally a given Zotero reference entry would have two pdfs, original and annotated, as well as a .note file. (The various plug in options seem only to manage text annotations.)
You mean 12k years newer, not older.
That's not inherent.
WTF? Profit sharing? That's just a daft statement. Apple has a surcharge on transactions through the App Store. There's no further requirement from developers. Big devs take issue with Apple's fees because instead of considering the fees the cost of doing business they act as if it's some sort theft.

App Store transaction fees amortize the costs of development/operations of not just the store itself but the OS it all runs on. If you pay 99¢ for an app that covers re-downloads and multiple devices in perpetuity. All running on a global CDN with exceptional uptime.

Apple doesn't charge users a dime for new iOS upgrades over years of the life of the device. Even years old devices get the latest software features of new iOS versions. Supporting old devices has a non-zero development cost.
You hit a similar thing with the language used to describe European colonising explorers ‘discovering’ populated lands. When was Australia discovered? When was New Zealand discovered?
Yeah haha, and it is true. I actually personally use this resume template to apply for jobs during my last job search and was invited to interview with companies like Dropbox, Meta, Amazon. Now I translate the template to be creatable with the builder so I can edit it easier and other folks can use it too.
> because dealing with the takedowns was too much trouble.

What are the consequences of ignoring these notices?
Remember that they are making billions on the top grossing games. They can afford to throw around hundreds of millions on marketing.

The search results in app stores, Google, or whatever else, are always going to end up drowned in marketing efforts.

When YouYubers or streamers recommend mobile games now, people simply don't believe them. They assume they're either getting paid, or making a joke.

There is something so bleak about the quiet child hate in the modern world. To me, it implies on some level a lack of hope for a better future. This is as far as I can tell, a systemic problem of the modern world. Yes, bad kids are annoying. We've all been there. The problem is the behavior, not the fact that the misbehaving human is young. I'd be perfectly fine with designated public "quiet zone" (like libraries have been forever) and most kids could probably handle that concept too. Exclude behaviors, not people. As another example the article mentioned older men harassing young female wait staff, for those cases have a "no-romance zone". Anyone who can't abide by the rules gets ejected from that space. It's not that complicated. The real issue to me is that some people are offended that the young exist. I don't like people much either in general, but I don't resent their very existence. Kids are good if for no other reason than to remind you what a fool you were at that age. You're probably just as much a fool now, just (hopefully) in new and interesting ways.
I've been running uBlacklist [0] for over a year now on all my devices for two sole purposes: blocking (1) Pinterest, and (2) Quora from my Google results.

[0] https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/docs

I can report a general positive impact on 98% of my searches. In the remaining 2% of cases (where I'm typically looking for some hyper-specific image I stumbled upon months or years ago), I can temporarily disable the filter with a single click.

Adding domains to the list is also as simple as clicking "Block this site" next to a result. In theory, if you diligently block lots of crappy websites, you could gather a collection of domains that de-crapifies your searches extensively. But for me, results from Pinterest and Quora were the biggest gripes by far, and this has worked beautifully just for that.

You can even subscribe to blacklists created by others, although I haven't explored that option so far. And your lists and/or settings can sync across devices with Google Drive. Available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Yes, I think this needs to be decided based on preference. I like to be independent in my file/pdf organization, and also search without Zotero through these files. I further consider original file names important and finally sync my literature folder to my Nextcloud, with full-text search. This is why I prefer linking, instead of file management by Zotero.
Many years ago we were posting jobs on a local bulletin boards and received applicant resumes on an email. The composition of a resume acted as a primary filter from people who couldn't even organize a few lines of information about themselves.

Then, an internet company in our country took over the market and almost all jobs are searched through it. Of course,it features a very nice resume builder, so now everyone has a nice resume and we can't even filter out the worst candidates without an investigative effort.

Thus, this work is commendable, but might have harmful effects.
It would be expensive but so would a banking and general financial crisis caused by empty office buildings and CMBS turning into toilet paper. The government will pay for it either way and the currency will be inflated either way. God forbid the money be used for housing instead of never ending wars.

A feature of actuarial software is generating dependency graphs of functions. Actuaries don't write the financial models that power reporting processes in standard languages (Python, Julia, C++) and instead have proprietary systems with features like this.
Sorry I wasn't clear. Agree with you here. I'm on a team where my immediate team is is distributed, which I feel is a waste of time for our team to coordinate. A larger team can have the subteams distributed, but immediate teams should be colocated or fully remote.

Contrary to how this bill is usually portrayed in the news, this bill allows for using screws and gaskets. Those are enough to make a phone waterproof.

Castel described the legal analysis in one of the fake cases as "gibberish."

Just want to comment on the first two points as a vercel fan

(1) pooling becomes the solution very early. You get massive speed benefits by keeping a connection open. Hitting connection limits is too easy without it. I feel like a push towards pooling is fine because it has great benefits for scale, speed and reliability. Services like Supabase have connection pooled postgres by default even in their free tier.

(2) nextjs server side data fetching is an amazing feature that deserves it's place in future of web development (the react team agrees since they've added server components). Grabbing data before reaching the client is amazing. If you have a centralized db all the more reason to grab as much as you can in one trip.

Other than that I can agree. I think the advice should generally be to not ever recommend a framework too early or without including its use case.

Current recommendations for the different tiers:

Server-lite: render.com

Serverless: vercel

A significant amount of archeology is like this - Las Monedas cave (for example) has prehistoric cave paintings, but its named after someone dropped 20 coins (or so) in it in the 1700s, many caves that were "discovered" in a modern sense just mean in the context of described by science.
"Make it as easy as possible, but not simpler". I think this applies perfectly here. Systemd has very complicated requirements due to its very unique position in a Linux distribution. And as a (power) end-user of it, you basically need you basically needs to touch only /etc

That has nothing to do with "wrecking battery life" though. They added a fix to prevent the device from turning off early due to battery brownouts at lower states of charge. It did result in reduced performance (and they got a lawsuit cause they weren't open about why/how they did it) but this wasn't causing excessive battery drain.
RCU uses epochs for synchronization. That's very different than winging it and waiting an arbitrary amount of time.

In fact RCU exists exactly because the previously common method of waiting an arbitrary time before deleting a potentially shared reference and hoping for the best was no longer considered acceptable.
> IPFS isn't the right use case for a dropbox clone. It behaves like a CDN with no persistence guarantees.

Peergos kinda do it but maybe it's only for the transport and it uses S3 or something like that.

No. There are already phones that can do this. For example the Samsung Xcover 5.
My mother is a dietitian and she started a podcast this year where she’s talked a lot about the microbiota and how it affects our organisms in a lot of different ways.

For instance, did you know that bacteria in our guts help us “digest” and expel heavy metals?

In the third part of the episodes about the microbiota[0] she talks about the gut-brain axis:

> l’intestino può comunicare al cervello uno stato di disagio o disbiosi procurando, oltre al gonfiore, anche un possibile stato d’ansia o abbassamento dell’umore

that translates more or less to:

> the gut can communicate with the brain a dysbiotic state causing, in addition to swelling, a state of anxiety

The podcast is in Italian, but the transcriptions can be easily translated in English.

I understand how the market works and how the Gompertz curve looks for new product lifecycles. I have a (professionally useless) masters degree in that.

My question is, what’s your solution?

The shareholders/stock market (largely represented by the board) will replace any CEO who doesn’t employ patterns (dark, fu, whatever) to maximize revenue. And private companies can’t raise capital easily nor can they give Options/RSUs to employees.

We are in the current state due to market equilibrium driven by people’s willingness to pay, and since I personally don’t like meta or Zuck I use Reddit on Brave + Mastodon + Dev.to for my social media dopamine hits. OOP could do the same.

I don’t know how old you are but growing up in the 90s I certainly remember (parents) paying for many of these things we now take for granted. The net negative result is that independent journalism is dead.

I don't agree with this at all. I do concede that some of these patterns use manipulation and visual trickery to send you down a particular (typically more profitable) path. That said, we all enjoy these services for free. The companies that provide them are for profit. I feel the intense hatred people have for these companies is extremely biased.

As a person who avoids Meta products for the most part, I still benefit from them greatly. I pay $0 and get a lot of conveniences. I do agree that it's not a nice feeling that they own the things I may post, but it's the deal that gets us what's app, facebook and instagram with near unlimited access to really nice social networking tools.

I similarly pay for YouTube premium because I don't want adds. I enjoy hours of video content ad free - often watching it more than I'd watch netflix or whatever other streaming service.

I agree that they're monetizing user content, but they're also providing access to compelling and often high quality content for free.
