That’s why Safari has content blocker extensions. Those cannot read the content or do network requests, they can only block content.

I use 1Blocker. It’s made of several extensions, only one or two non-essential ones that are not pure content blockers (and so can read the site), and which I have turned off, with still very good results.
A healthy cyclist might average 200-250w over an hour, or an FTP of 200-250. One horsepower is ~735w, so ~5kw for the 7hp compressor. The cyclist putting in a really high degree of effort needs to pedal for 20x-25x as long as the compressor to do the same amount of work.

A 7hp compressor delivers in the range of 1m3/min@6bar or roughly 35cfm@90psi. The output can vary a lot depending on how the compressor is optimized though. Air tool air use varies as well, a sand blaster or paint sprayer will have different needs. But an air tool like a disc sander or die grinder or air hammer or impact wrench will be in the 5cfm range or a little under .2m3/min. So for an hour of tool use the compressor needs to run for 8.5 minutes or 2 hours and 50 minutes of cycling.
SEC just a few days ago lost most of its case against XRP where it’s strict definition of the Howey test was decided by the judge to be incorrect regarding crypto tokens. The judge did rule for the SEC regarding investment contracts concerning tokens. Most likely the SEC will lose the case against coinbase as well for similar reasons.

Just because the SEC says something doesn’t mean it’s true.
"Do your own research" is generally the correct response to someone trolling. (Asking for "some online references" is a classic troll.)

If you're actually a serious person, it's your lucky day. I enjoy a good conversation and will reply to this thread as long as you're interested. If not, well, that's what passes for conversation on HN any old week.

But if you are actually serious then you'll have to be a little more specific in your request: "Could you point to some online references of what you are suggesting?"

Btw, I wouldn't consider calling something garbage as being the same as "problematizing" in the way that word is typically used. More the opposite. My purpose is to warn well-meaning but naive or gullible people off this crap before they waste too much time (or worse). It's a trap.

Let's do this.
Yes, because that is (1) more likely and (2) much harder to recover from. A slow and gradual collapse of society can be slowly and gradually reversed and is as long as you can't point at something catastrophic going to stretch the definition of collapse unless it is so slow that it is indistinguishable from change.

'slow collapse' is a bit of a contradiction in terms, all collapses that I'm aware of are sudden, they are events on the timescales that we normally care about, even though if you zoomed in on them enough they would show plenty of detail. Once started they will run their course. Gradual deterioration of society isn't something you need to make contingency plans for. It will happen, or it won't but your FORTH based OS isn't going to make a meaningful difference. For the aftermath of an EMP it will be useless and for a deterioration that takes a year, a decade, a century or even longer there will be other, far more effective mitigation strategies.

But fine, if that's the pretext the OP needed to build their thing I'm perfectly OK with it, I just don't think that's in any way a realistic premise. See also: preppers and shelter fanatics.

The people that are best positioned to deal with all of this are the Mennonites.
The Importance of Learning “Natural Language” in AI Prompting
The digital era has birthed an exciting notion among tech enthusiasts – the belief that Artificial Intelligence is the panacea for humanity's challenges. Yet, the truth is that the effectiveness of AI directly correlates with our ability to use it effectively.

Those who could benefit the most from AI are often the ones least equipped to leverage its capabilities.

I suspect it's because a modern crew cab half-ton pickup is pretty close to the perfect vehicle for a big swath of Americans. Huge interior room for the family, enough bed & payload to be useful for everything from hauling appliances to gravel, dirt, lumber, whatever.

Just about the only thing it doesn't do well is fuel economy and driving in downtown urban areas. A large number of people rank those issues low on the list.
> on the scale of earth we might as well be microscopic.

The total biomass on earth is about 6x10^9 t whereas the total mass of the earth is about 6x10^21 t so all life on earth is microscopic on the scale of the earth. Also, your choice of words implies you’re mixing up quantity with quality. The fact that we’re microscopic on any scale doesn’t mean we’re as worthless as shower fungus. We churn up mountains to get a microscopic amount of gold by comparison because the gold is worth more than an average mountain.

> If I borrow a billion dollars from you to pay myself and I have no good plan to pay you back, it doesn't matter how low interest rates are, you'll still be out a billion dollars.

In a hypothetical zero interest rate world I can keep paying you the $0 "interest" to not have to pay back the billion. Only when the interest rate goes up do we find out who actually had any intention to ever pay back the original.
I wouldn't recommend anything from Hennessy and Patterson for learning about microcode; they are entirely RISC proponents, after all. Instead, books and articles from 50s-70s on computer design are probably far more detailed and relevant.
> Cars are in fact larger partially due to advanced safety features, in particular doors, pillars etc. have gotten a lot thicker over the last 25 years.

I would like to see a citation on this. Car doors have gotten larger partly because there is so much more stuff going on there than 20-30 years ago, mostly a bunch of new electronics. They are also larger because, well, the cars are larger.

> ... you're probably better off in a crash without a seatbelt in a bus than in the highly safety rated mini the bus crashes into.

This is obviously not a fair comparison. I would be safer in a tank as well. Fact is, a current generation Toyota Camry is effectively safer than an early 2000s F-150.
One day at church, I learned about the 26 Martyrs of Japan, crucified on a hill in Nagasaki in 1597. I said "Hmm, that city is notable for another reason today" and I thought about the frequent Jesuit contact there, the building of a famous basilica in the 1850s, and thinking it was probably not a coincidence or accident that this was the city in the list of secondary targets for the Bockscar mission. Of course, its major military operations and manufacturing surely factored into the choice as well.
Thanks, that's good to know. One of the things drawing me to learn Haskell is Higher-Kinded Types. I'd really like to learn about them and have a play.

Higher-Kinded Types seem complex to me but until I have a play I wont know.

The other thing that makes me think Haskell is harder is that functional code is enforced, while in F# it's simply the default. I'm not sure what impact this will have on complexity of real world applications. But in F# it's really easy to have an imperative shell and functional core.

Most of the Chadwick part of the Chadwick–Ventris collaboration was published after 1965. And I just pointed you to two popular references that, in turn, cite a number of publications from recent decades. I suggest you follow up on that.
Another advantage for off-road kei trucks is they are narrow, allowing you to drive around obstacles that you would need a lot of clearance (big tires/lift kits.) A lot of trails in the PNW get overgrown and a narrow vehicle that weighs less causes less trail erosion and can squeeze past obstacles rather then going over them.
My understanding is that in Japan insurance cost is based on your odometer, and there are strict inspection and maintenance requirements (mandatory replacement of suspension after so many KMs) so most of these vehicles are lightly used before export. I notice saber rattling by the auto industry here in B.C. trying to limit imports, I see this as a regulatory capture move, I'm not impressed!
Childmashers? That's kind of ridiculous.

There are much smaller pickups than an F150, for sure. Like a Maverick, to use an easy example. And it's a popular choice, too, though it's probably not going to unseat the F150 anytime soon.

> Bratton’s view has significant implications for how we see and approach the accelerating advances in science and technology.

This is where things run off the rails a bit for me, and I feel like this is a bit of a sleight-of-hand.

Up to this point, almost everything was the good kind of thought provoking. Not new stuff if you've steeped yourself in philosophy or have spent time going down consciousness rabbit holes, but very thought provoking stuff if you haven't encountered these ideas yet. There is value to be gained from challenging traditional modes of thinking about the nature of reality, and how human-centric thinking/awareness can also leave you susceptible to blind spots.

But what I see beyond this is a repackaging of the usual AI optimist's argument, trying to sneak in under the guise of some other deeper understanding of things.

The argument goes something like: "Humanity has always gone through major changes, just look at the printing press", coupled with "and for all the possible harm of AI, it will be balanced out by all of the possible good".

But I find it difficult to accept the analogy that the advancement of AI is equivalent to humanity's history of technology advancement and it seems foolish to equate this with the gradual but steady growth of the past (obviously punctuated by big jumps).

It may be that it is fundamentally human to adapt and be adapted by technology, and that's a premise that is worth considering. But what this misses is an assessment of how we're doing with the process of integrating the last 100 years of technology advancement.

Right now, we're getting a solid F if you look at our track record of coexisting with the environment.

Social media has gone off the rails, and we've got a mental health crisis we don't fully understand yet.

And now, while we're still looking for solutions to the last 100 years of problems, an explosion of AI advances brings new questions and problems we don't have the words to fully describe yet.

The philosophical framing is fun to wrap your mind around and worth thinking about. But the completely unrelated and heavily implied conclusion that AI is gonna be just fine based on our history of evolving alongside technology seems to be ignoring just about everything about our track record of evolving alongside technology in the era of computing.
If I am thinking of the same Big 10 university (orange and black mini trucks sometimes with IIRC green flashing lights), the interesting thing is that they are also driven on public streets connecting the different parts of campus.

Probably too many [1].

To show they (or their new tech stack) can, to avoid licensing issues, or to have a system tied to their needs.

For what it's worth, it is... the market is uttery dominated by Wordpress (~43% of all websites, and 63% of all websites using a known CMS), followed by "WYSIWYG builder systems" (Shopify, Wix, Squarespace), Joomla and Drupal. The "large enterprise" market seems to be firmly in the hands of Adobe AEM which is an utter PITA.

Things won't stop changing, and they will do that for worse. That is the scary part of feedback loops, is easy to get exponential. We have feedback loops that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (and don't forget that water vapor is one of the most powerful) and so increasing how much heat Earth retains, and and feedback loops that increase warming (like less albedo because less ice). And hitting tipping points mean that things will go irreversibly in that direction after hitting them.

At some point we will reach runaway climate change, and it will be game over.
Thank you so much for finding those!

Paper Notes: Distributed Transactions at Scale in Amazon DynamoDB – Distributed
224GB/s is unrealistically fast but 9Gb/s unacceptably slow. A compromise of 9GB/s would perhaps be reasonable. 1/25th the speed would be manageable.

"common household LED light bulbs" is pretty ridiculous." Likely so, but all we have to do for 9GB/s is to use the transmitters and receivers used in standard commercial fiber optics (or a suitable adaptation thereof) and we'd romp home.
Thanks! I studied ICS as part of a neighborhood emergency response training some years ago, but I don't feel that familiar with it anymore.

So I guess the basic idea is that volunteers should provide aid as they can, but once a response coordination authority is established, the volunteers should either leave the scene or put themselves under that authority's direction? (Including potentially being directed to leave the scene.)
I think there's another class of psychoactive compounds in common use in medieval Europe at the time that could explain the dancing plague. Anticholinergic tropanes such as atropine, hyoscyamine and especially scopolamine. These are the psychoactive compounds found in plants like henbane, mandrake, angel's trumpets, jimsonweed (datura) and nightshade (belladonna). These plants were commonly used as adulterants in beer and beer was commonly drunk instead of water because the alcohol sterilized it.

In low to moderate doses they act as a deliriant which is why they were commonly added to low-quality beer but at high doses things get really weird. Some of the bizarre effects of these compounds is it causes people to be easily influenced and causes vivid hyper-realistic hallucinations akin to a psychotic break. Also it's incredibly long lasting especially scopolamine. Effects from scopolamine overdoses have been reported to last for up to 48 hours or more. In fact scopolamine was a compound the CIA experimented with as a 'truth serum' back in the day.
In a similar vein, C000 == 49152 has been burned into my brain. I recognize it immediately, because that’s where most C64 assembly programs were loaded, followed by “SYS 49152” for loading them.

I kind of wanted to say Sewell but I wasn't sure I remembered the name right and I guess I was too lazy to look it up---but that's the one. Sewell is a big advocate of this theory but I think most people, even conspiratorial ones, think of him as kind of a crank. I haven't read the book so I won't judge too harshly, I just know that the rogue nuclear mission theory sort of hinges on a lot of political currents within the Kremlin and KGB that aren't in evidence elsewhere.

The French breeder program was such a "success" that it's been mothballed. They've put the work on a shelf and terminated any follow on reactor.

The only coherent interpretation I can think of is through the management fees they'll charge. Based on existing bitcoin products, it'll likely be in the neighborhood of 1-2%. I don't see the issue with it though. They're providing a service (ie. being able to invest in bitcoin in an institution friendly way), and are charging a fee for it. You may think the service is worthless, but it's still strange to characterize it as "sucking money out of the system". I don't care for fine art, and I think the premium paid for them is worthless, but I wouldn't characterize companies involved in the transaction (eg. Sotheby's) as "sucking money out of the system".
At the beginning of the 20th century in the US, 3 in 4 workers were either laborers, farmers, miners, or household service workers. By the end of the century that number had fallen to 1 in 4.

Of course that wasn't a net loss, it was part a larger economic transformation that created more higher paying jobs.

"easy to imagine - a large enough collapse that making new ones is very very hard, especially compared to scrounging and repurposing the huge amount of existing ones. Imagine a huge population decline, and search parties looking through the ruins for useful tech, like computers, decades later.

Such a society could probably make new computers, but the cost of making new, much worse specced computers, may not be cost effective for a long time as long as old computers can be found and repaired.

Edit: such a movie or novel would make for great Fallout-ish world-building. Imagine for instance a large hotel in a big city running the booking system on an old laptop in a central secure location, and new 8-bit computers used as terminals at the front desk.
