The IPv4 host can't tunnel IPv6 packets, it has no concept that IPv6 exists. It can only talk to IPv4. You could have some dynamic IPv4 to IPv6 service, which needs IPv4 addresses. But it is much simpler for each service to have one IPv4 address on the load balancer.

Also, the real shortage with IPv4 is with devices where ISPs are using CGNAT. Server addresses are less important when can run an entire company with a handful.
>) can't tap phones, therefore math (and the technologists who code up this math) are evil and anti-democratic.

it's usually much more than that. A lot of those projects founders, including Signal's, are pursuing deeply ideological projects, "it's just math" doesn't really cut it. Many aren't just after providing services that are largely in line with existing values of privacy or what have you. Hell, Moxie wrote an actual anti-democratic treatise whose central premise was:

>"[..]Our critique is of democracy in all its various forms, whether representative or direct. We are not echoing confused cries for more democracy, we are calling for its entire abolition."

These kind of attitudes are often baked into the projects themselves, hence why there's a worldcoin and MobileCoin in Signal. Don't really need your own currency for either of those projects right?

I wish they asked exact rates and timelines. Like living in Florida, getting a bad burn only once per year might be considered seldom. But if you lived in Alaska, I’m sure that would be qualify as often.
Yup! Came to say the same thing. Seems to fix a problem I have, but I have no clue how it does it, and that doesn't pass the threshold for me to install it
Honest question I don’t know how to consider: are we further along or behind with AI given crypto’s use of GPUs? Has the same cards bought for mining furthered AI, or maybe that demand lead to more research into GPUs and what they can do - or would we be further along if we weren’t wasting these cards on mining?
Yes, that's it! I've been working with .Net a lot recently and recalled Microsoft's announcement about them. Specialized runtime images for JRE, .NEt, Asp.Net, and etc.

That’s a complex question. You are asking about general equilibrium effects: where the economy will be once companies and workers across industries all adjust to large-scale automation.

Folks who work in roles that are automated away could find employment in other, presumably less well-paid, roles. Or they could end up being the technicians and engineers who manage the automated processes.

The companies can remain profitable even if the purchasing power of workers declines. Their cost could fall due to automation, and their price mark-ups could increase if they manage to drive competitors out of business. So those who own the companies that survive could do well in all this.

Go to Vietnam and every business, even the teeny-tiny mom-and-pop restaurants run out of a street facing living room, will offer free wifi. It was truly an amazing experience being able to expect wifi everywhere I went.

And yes, they had passwords and offered secure wifi. You just had to ask for the the password if they didn't already have it displayed somehow. Working remotely, it was glorious.

It put into perspective how much the US's focus on individualization removes the warm feeling of camaraderie.

This argument seems so weird to me because the matrix ecosystem definitely does have complete and non-complete clients. Just like the XMPP ecosystem. And as for servers... Dendrite and Conduit are not 100% compatible with Synapse.

I imagine there must be some good clients for XMPP. Hell, I use one good client (Conversations on Android) on a daily basis. Also have used Gajim quite a bit. It is alright afaict.
Yes. In the long history of the Lisp family of languages, many dialects have been created, and most of them are uncommon and rare, becoming more if they are disused and recede into history.
Two comments

1. If you want better adoption especially among corporations, GPL-3 wont cut it. Maybe think of some business friendly licenses (MIT etc)

2. I understand the excitement about llm's. But how about making something more accessible to people with regular machines and not state of art. I use rip-grep-all (rga) along with fzf [1] that can search all files including pdfs in a specific folders. However, I would like a GUI tool to

(a) search across multiple folders,

(b) provide priority of results across folders, filetypes and

(c) store search histories where I can do a meta-search.

This is sufficient for 95% of my usecases to search locally and I don't need LLM. If khoj can enable such search as default without LLM that will be a gamechanger for many people without a heavy compute machine or who dont want to use OpenAI.

No, not actually. It's a shared space, and if someone has somehow still not heard of deodorant, and/or taking a shower, and/or washing their clothes, that's not actually acceptable.

KPH/MPH are ubiquitous standard abbreviations that exactly zero percent of people encounter for the first time when they drive for the first time. Occasional and brand new drivers will never not know what those things mean. Kilometers Per Hour is also 600% larger than KPH, and visual clutter while driving at highway speeds is a much bigger problem than when examining DNS records.

Yeah, then multiply that hurdle times the thousand others someone has to memorize to work in *nix.

Textual output on a computer is a communication medium-- hammers and firearms are not.
As bad as MacOS is the competition is generally worse. Windows and Linux laptops can't sleep/wake or power manage correctly, trackpad behavior is mediocre at best, bad HiDPI support, and so on. It's a lot easier to fix up some foibles in the desktop environment than it is to try and fix core OS issues.
That is said as if engineers have exactly zero influence. We are hired to build stuff (and often wearing many hats: UX, design, architecture, market research etc.). I bet if someone said "you have to use Win11 and not allowed a mac" there would be a revolution at many companies :-)

Kind of sad how ad-hoc mode was such a a failure. I always imagined how cool it would be to have a huge number of devices all connected to the internet through each other but it was hard enough to just get two devices talking.
+1 for BetterDisplay. Truly a game changer for using MacOS.

Also nice is BetterMouse [1] (unrelated author). It's similar to the OP application in some ways. And it uniquely has a way to flip between spaces on MacOS that has very low delay, without breaking SIP. No idea how they did that.

If you are the lucky one who lives in 10% of Germany that has good beer (i.e. some areas in Bavaria) then that's good, all the remaining country is filled with the corporate crap that owns 99% of beer companies. In USA, there're many places that serve their own beer. Virginia and looking for good food? Just search for any local craft brewery and you found it. Many bars and restaurants in Oregon and California have their own brewery in the backyard. I find these beers so much more interesting.

Yes, I buy Brew Dog and Crew Republic because they are good, but I just wish there was a local brewery around the corner. I live in a city of 700000, it _should_ be possible if not all the other people were blinded by the big guys' advertising.

It means a very specific sparsity pattern - 2:4, so 2 out of 4 values are not 0. It's not pure bullshit, because a matrix with 2:4 sparsity may represent more "information" than a matrix that is 50% smaller.

I think we're mostly on the same page, yes, sorry I wasn't clear, I've been talking about two wires, linking a power source with a load.

> isn't it the electromagnetic field then (that consists of photons) that moves the energy from source to sink because photons are capable of moving energy rather than the electric field between the wires?

Yes, that's my understanding also; I focused on the electric field in my last post because that's what differs inside and outside a conductor; the magnetic field exists and has the same orientation both in and outside a conductor carrying current. But it's the product of the two which defines the Poynting vector, which indicates the flow of energy in the EM field.

What I've calculated so far (for the case of two infinite parallel wires) does indicate that the Poynting vector is concentrated around the wires -- it drops off approximately with the 4th power of the distance from either wire (though there's a decent saddle between them). I plan still to calculate some integrals around the wires because I'm curious actual numbers. For reference the expression I've derived is:

|S| = Pr² / (ln(2r/a) × ((y² - z² - r²)² + 4y²z²))

where:

S = Poynting vector

P = power delivered

2r = distance between wires

a = diameter of wire (this only creeps in when relating voltage between the wires to charge on the wires)

The Poynting field points uniformly from the source to the sink, in the +x direction (same axis as the wires). The y axis points from one wire to the other.
Bailed them out how?
Back in the early 2000s, I had a Windows 3.1 386 machine to myself as my family was using the new PC at the time. The glaring difference to me was the missing "X" so I programmed a small window that would dock on the corner of the active window and provide an X close button (as well as maximize, minimize as the real ones were now obscured by that window). It was very hacky-spaghetti Visual Basic code using whatever I can figure out from WinAPI documentations I could find and I was too inexperienced back then. But it worked. My older brother didn't realize the "X" wasn't supposed to exist and it even ended up getting bundled with someone's Calmira fork. Good times.

I've noticed this as well. It depends on where you live, but in Brooklyn, almost none of the subway stations are wheelchair accessible. Buses are, and there are many free transfer options from the subway into the bus network, but in my experience living in NYC the buses are very unreliable. You can get to where you're going but half the time the bus you need will not arrive.

Just for fun I looked at a couple subway lines in Brooklyn. Very few wheelchair accessible stops:

- F train: 3 of its 22 stops

- G train: 2 of its 19 stops (a historically neglected line, but still I'm surprised to see this so low)

- A train: 3 of its 17 stops

... in fact, lets play a game. Here's a map I made of part of Brooklyn. The stars represent stops that are not wheelchair accessible. Can you find the stops that don't have a star? https://imgur.com/a/8PdzrOK
> Private conversations are completely irrelevant to this discussion, so not sure why you keep bringing them up.

You said "Literally all of your concerns are 100% solved by adding a log bot to the channels you care about, both on IRC and Discord." to someone that was talking about Discord being bad at logging in general, which to me would include private conversations.

> And you did say IRC logged without bots, which it doesn't. You were wrong.

I said you can log it without bots. Every standalone client I have ever used did it by default.

A client can stay connected all the time. A bot may or may not stay connected all the time. You should not conflate the two.

On Discord you need a special bot account to log without breaking the ToS. On IRC you not only don't need a bot account, you can just connect your normal client and be done.

> and no a "good chunk" of IRCv3 efforts aren't around server logging, that's hilariously incorrect and just shows you're randomly saying shit to try and be right.

Specifically I was saying that in response to "you only get the messages that are sent while you’re in there".

https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/chathistory

https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/read-marker

I'd call this a good chunk. Every time I've seen someone list the features of IRCv3, servers buffering messages to send channel history to clients is one of the features they mention.

Every time I see such an article that dismisses psychotherapy, I cringe a little bit.

It is obvious that the author is ignorant of the topic (psychotherapy).

It sounds like a hardware engineer dismissing software engineers and strongly affirming that all bugs can be solved with hardware solutions.

Some problems are indeed due to psychic issues and not physiological ones. Yes, you can probably workaround symptoms with drugs, but that does not really solve the problem.

If you have mental blocks and a shitty life that makes you depressed, and alleviate the depression with drugs, you still have mental blocks and a shitty life.

I wish that both disciplines were not as independent from each other as it is today. Having experts at both subjects could probably do wonders to help people and make proper progress.

Life of Montaigne (Bakewell) is an interesting look at another person’s attempt to study and write about philosophy. I found the book to be inspiring.

I think the magic of philosophical study is the probing and testing of your own thoughts and answers to important questions, and then comparing/contrasting those to other philosophical writers.

I often just pick a topic, like truth, and start writing. It’s always amazing to see how my prose will reveal my mind and my dilemmas. And then I have a direction for more study.

There are no wrong answers. Just jump in and see where it takes you.
>>You say your introducing points but each response is "what about the next issue down the line" i.e. moving the goalposts.

This is generally how conversations or debates go, when people don't immediately agree with you. Asking what about X? Moving the goalposts is quite different. If I said I will believe you if you if you gave an example of Y, then when you showed me Y, asked for Y+Z. In this conversation, I havent set any goals, just asked questions and made counterpoints.

In general think maybe you are misunderstanding me, I absolutely agree there is a best way to go about a given thing. I dont see how you can think what goverment should be doing isnt particularly relevant.

I personally think that many articles of the UN declaration of human rights are garbage, and would oppose my government implementing it in practice.

Again, government competence depends on what you want the government to do.

My fundamental point was people don't agree on what the government should do. It sounds like you have walked this back, so I dont think we have much left to talk about.

We aren't going to hash out an agreement of what governments Should do over HN.
You create a "web-service" and then describe it by describing its "interface" you are in fact creating that interface. That is how it is on the web because the web-tech does not give us a language in which to describe service-endpoints.

In non-web development the APIs can be described formally as function-signatures in any statically typed programming language.

Or is there some simple language in which to write descriptions of web-services?

This is the opposite of what I want. Is there a fix for the defectively-large trackpad on Mac laptops, which causes spurious right-clicks, deselections, and cursor jumps while you're typing?

The fix would be to deactivate the outer inch or so of the trackpad.

I can only imagine the overly-complicated and ultimately unreliable touch-rejection logic Apple has ladled onto this thing, to work around a problem they created.

It's weird to me people think warrants are still used.

No warrant is needed by any government agent to read your email that is over six months old and the major providers just give them a backdoor so as not to waste any time/money with requests.

Who is going to stop them from doing that with anything else? The supreme court? Good luck with that belief system. You think the NSA ever stopped just because they were discovered? Or did they just switch to "try to stop us".

“Battery in a shipping container” systems today can supply somewhere between 1-4 Megawatt hours of energy. If the ship has two 900kW motors, then you get about 30 minutes to two hours of propulsion per container at ahead flank and under ideal conditions.

I suspect these ships stop fairly frequently, maybe once every few hours or once a day? I read once that containers can be loaded/unloaded at a rate of about one per minute, so “refueling”, so to speak, becomes a 5 minute to one hour job, depending how much energy is needed. I wonder how competitive that is with current ships of similar size.

The economics become better as energy density of the containers improves, for sure, though.
