"Heads" by Greg Bear.

"Set two hundred years in the future, a science fiction novel in which William Pearce is searching for the elusive absolute zero, and his wife has brought many cryogenically frozen heads in the hope of reading them for information, unaware of the danger of their actions"

Maybe not his best book...
Yes. It's going extremely badly.
It would be 8::8
Sometimes HN has some serious Incel shit posts, one has to admit...
Yes, maybe a few retro people would be interesting. But what about thousands? Or millions? If it works, presumably many people will want to wake up in a different century.

What is an advanced society to do with unfrozen people? The novelty wears off real quick when they start getting hungry and want houses.

And more importantly, what guarantees about rights and quality of life do unfrozen people think they’re going to have? The correct answer should be: none.

So yes I do think it’s hubris. It’s hubris to think anyone in the future is going to want you and want to take care of you rather than the people alive at that time.

When you’re born, you have parents to take care of you and food and clothing. And you’re cute, our brains are wired to care about that part because it’s important. Because when you’re born you’re also damn near useless, and also expensive and annoying and stinky. These unfrozen people will be as useless as babies but significantly less cute.
If you compare yourself to colleagues at your level, particularly how _they_ would describe themselves, do you think they would be as self-aware?

As long as it isn't making you feel like a complete fraud, this level of introspection is a good thing imo.

Move production to locations and growth cycles where it make sense. There is likely plenty of enough arable land left where we could grow stuff with modern western technology. Or that will be less impacted and we could increase yields with industrial agriculture.

Probably means food might be more expensive, but even now many areas are left unfarmed because marginal gains are not there. If prices go up we could start farming there.
At the same time, the majority of those running Windows have the same relationship to it as you have with Linux on your DSL modem - "It's what the computer I bought comes with" - and yet we are not discounting those Windows users. Same goes for macOS, especially now where Asahi Linux is the only and yet incomplete alternative.

In some comparisons it makes sense to remove DSL modems from the equation and focusing on some more "computer-like" subset of device (otherwise no OS would ever do better than "several orders of magnitude fewer deployments than Linux"), but discounting every device where you did not actively pick the OS would make for an extremely biased comparison.

Plus, we don't care about such distinctions outside comparisons. SteamOS have already driven significant improvements for regular desktop users. Same goes for Tizen, Android and ChromeOS. Even wonky DSL firmwares have positive effects for the rest of us.

You just say it. "Why does every movie." Doing that makes you categorize it as what a movie is. Simple, but subtle. It gives a certain level of legitimacy.
I know a few girls who had more than 50 partners and they are all basically girls you would not even consider for a one night stand, let alone date.

Yes. Some games have a Vulkan renderer (probably because they can afford to).

This is a good table for Vulkan support across platforms: https://www.ravbug.com/graphics/

And on Linux your best bet is to run DirectX through compatibility software like what SteamDeck does.

>How lucky I am to be her 23rd partner?

Would you be luckier to be her 1st, knowing that it would be short-lived and 22 others would follow after you?

All experienced people start off inexperienced. At least with experienced people, they are more likely to know what they want.

I am a woman the same age as you. I am only interested in long-term monogamy. As such, I have a lot of sexual and relationship experience due to my age, but all if it is with just 3 people. Not only that, but all of my experience is with who, themselves, had never previously had casual sex experience.

The first 2 were young and inexperienced like me, and they initially thought they wanted the same thing that I want. But as time went on, they realized that they felt confined by long-term monogamy and actually wanted more experiences with more people. After we broke up, they proceeded to have a series of flings and casual sex. They did have some attempts at long-term polyamorous relationships, but nothing that lasted more than a year or two.

By the time I met my 3rd partner (who I have been with a long time now), I was pretty gun shy about dating men. My experience was that men talk a big game about wanting a stable partner for the long haul, but get bored and break your heart.

What helped me give my new partner a chance was that we were both older by this point and more settled into our lives. He had plenty of relationship experience by that point, and his history demonstrated that he stayed dedicated in long-term monogamous relationships and that he was not interested in casual sex, despite plenty of opportunities for it.

If I were advising someone whose goal was to only ever have one partner in their life, my advice would be to only date people with a lot of life experience. Inexperienced people are a wild card. You can't manipulate them into only ever wanting you. Maybe back in the day, you could lock them into marriage, but modern DNA evidence suggests that a huge percentage of children back then (some estimates as high as 25%) were not genetically related to their fathers, so I'm not so sure that marriage was actually what you imagine it was.

If you want to date women who are fully dedicated to long-term monogamy, then date people with a demonstrated history of exactly that. (However, be aware that this only works if you yourself have such a history. You can't expect to date women with high standards if you don't actually live up to those standards.)
In the early 90s, Prof. Choi theorized a new way of creating a room temperature superconductor but it wasn't really accepted by the mainstream. Supposedly, in 1999, two researchers in Choi's lab, Lee and Kim (hence LK), created the first sample of LK-99. They weren't able to reliably replicate nor were they able to fully explain the theory.

In 2017, as a dying wish, Choi asked Lee and Kim to continue on with the LK-99 research but asked to not publish it until they understand the theory behind it.

They founded a lab and collaborated with other scientists in the field and Kwon was one of them.

4 months ago, Kwon left the lab and two weeks ago Kwon leaked the paper. The paper Kwon leaked only listed Lee, Kim and Kwon as the authors and excluded other collaborators. Some suspect Kwon excluded the other collaborators because Nobel prize can only be awarded to three people at most. A few days after the leak, Lee & Kim hastily published a paper with four more authors but not Kwon.

The “waterbed theory” is probably what you’re looking for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbed_theory
I don't think anybody can really say for now, but if the price of it comes down enough, there are two rough categories of things that can happen:

* devices that currently use superconductors don't have to use cooling anymore, and so become much cheaper to build and operate (MRI machines, certain sensors, high-power magnets for things like fusion research, big generators, big motors). This is a pretty solid bet.

* devices where superconductors would be an improvement, but currently don't make economic or practical sense. These are almost certain to crop up, but which ones will pan out is IMHO very speculative.

In the latter category, things like computing chips, more sensors, certain art works (sculptures with permanently levitating parts, how awesome!), smaller motors and generators seem plausible.

But there is likely whole categories of things we haven't thought of that could benefit from either zero resistance or rejecting magnetic fields.
This is drawing completely wrong conclusions from erroneous oversimplifications:

We're using high transmission voltages to keep current down. Superconductors would not change this AT ALL; superconductivity generally breaks down not only with temperature increases but also magnetic field strength (i.e. current).

Switching large currents is also a hassle; especially with non-resistive loads.

And completely changing household electricity architecture is simply not gonna happen just to marginally improve safety, cost/benefit ratio is WAY too high.

Honestly, why are you so obsessed with the number of intimiate partners your intimate partners (or potetial partners) had before you? How many did you have? You know, because this knife cuts both ways.

Also, sex is fun. People can have as much, in any form, of it consentially as they please and like.
This is not true, ISO9660 was designed to be a read-only filesystem: it has no concept of slack space nor sectors in the traditional sense. Every file and directory entry on ISO9660 consists of a single extent (contiguous number of sectors). If your file or directory entry needs to grow beyond its current size, you must create a new copy of the entire entry and append it to the image.

The only writable filesystems that use the same allocation strategy are log-based flash filesystems, but they also have support for quickly scanning the filesystem to get the most recent snapshot state. Again, ISO9660 does not have that because it was not designed to be writable.

> What benefit have we gained by disseminating this research so slowly?

It's less visible, but at this scale there's a high cost in everyone pausing their research to replicate LK-99. If it turns out to be real that's worth, but if not it could've gone to better use. Think of what we could've done with the time we spent reproducing cold fusion.

It's survivorship bias; yes, you would love to see the significant discoveries happen sooner, but if they were rushed you'd also see a lot of trash that currently never leaves the draft stage. Just look at how many people complained that the LK-99 papers were incomplete and unprofessional!

Also, LK-99 was discovered in 1999 but wasn't known as a room-temperature superconductor then. There are too many things to research and not enough researchers, so it was put on hold for two decades.
And that is a problem why exactly? And it is not just women, also men. Also you, it seems, preferred those morally doubtful college women. Tells more about you than anyone else.
you're both right.

generally what's happening is a combination of:

* making pedestrian zones (i.e. banning)
* deny access to certain types / times (no vans, no old cars, etc.. i.e. also banning)
* reducing roads (i.e. 2 > 1 lane, thus reducing attractivity)
* raising driving prices (the congestion / air quality certificates you mention)
* reducing access to parking (remove places, make them more expensive, etc)

.. all the while increasing alternatives (i.e. use those reduced lanes for bikes)
The people going after "eternal" life right now are people with access to practically unlimited funding.

Besides SteamOS, this is another reason why Linux is more popular on Steam. I play Steam games on both Mac and Linux: I can play more and better games on Linux (using Proton), but the ease of access on Mac makes me play there more. I just break my Linux too often because it’s a work tool.
It’s not. Steam Deck is for all intents and purposes real Linux device.
Nice! It’s comforting to know I wasn’t the first to think of it.

There's less burnout in school because there's a goal. You put in effort, you get an A. You get enough A's you get a good job.

Some put in effort but don't get an A. That can cause burnout.

Some put in effort, get A's, but don't get the dream job. That's a massive source of burnout and depression.

It can stretch on further too. Some land the dream job but don't land the dream home. Another source of grief.

But for the most part, the grading system can also shield you from burnout because it feeds you the results you expect to get from the effort.

> If the Operating System is proprietary then the target is not marked deprecated by the vendor. The icon means the OS is officially deprecated, such as macos/x86.

Not supporting proprietary OSes is a bummer. Especially if it is marked as deprecated since it is unlikely to change. People choosing Zig to anything choose their users to throw away their devices.

.. the number of hardware and software just keeps growing and growing endlessly, and the number of their combinations grows even faster. We probably need some more virtual machines as targets to cover them all.
Lisp is a family of languages, not any single one. There's (thankfully, lisps needs innovation like everything else) room for different types.

In the C family for example, you have both C and Javascript.

> It would also be nice to port programs from one dialect to another without major editing

If the languages are the same, they wouldn't be different dialects, they would be the same language, so porting them doesn't make much sense. I think the closest thing to what you're describing is Clojure, where you can swap the targeted environment (JVM if you're working on a server, babashka if you're making a script, javascript if it's a web app, dart/flutter if you're making mobile apps, etc...)

I understand that anytime someone brings benchmarks out, the next response points out that benchmarks are not real world use cases. Nonetheless, they are data points, and your claims are against the commonly accepted view of C being roughly as fast as C++ and Rust. If you have absolutely no data to back it up, you shouldn't expect anyone to believe you.

> Again, I don't know what the exact purpose of this (probably to get the open graph data?) is

Yes, it's for the link preview. Each server that sees the link wants to generate a preview card for it. ActivityPub requests themselves are only sent between the servers that participate in the network.
It's just not desktop. That's all. Linux as the base OS for desktop word processing, etc. has not succeeded, even though it was the OG dream of the Linux community. Linux as the OS to run WINE ... weird case.

But it's simply not relevant. Linux is a success in its own right. So much better than Windows on a server. And the desktop is losing relevance (but it might bounce back when you least expect it).
I think a majority of the people who want to live "forever" are the types of megalomaniacs who want to populate the earth with their own kind of uber mench, and will actually have more children than an average person.

Some do.

Knowing it exists doesn't make it "real", for some, for lack of better phrasing.

> In the early 2000s, there was a brief period where actresses pretended that their thinness was natural, almost accidental. Skinny celebrities confessed their love of burgers and fries in magazines; models undergoing profile interviews engaged in public consumption of pasta; leading ladies joked about how little they exercised and how much they hated it. It was all bullshit: no one looks like that without calorie restriction

No, no. That's false. I can tell you from first hand experience there are women (and presumably men too, but I've never lived with a man) who actually are thin without trying. In fact, of all the women I've dated, the only ones who even remotely cared about diets, calories, exercise etc. were the fat ones.

The difference is now fashion has changed towards that super-lean, "ripped", goes to gym look. Now actors (of both sexes) work out just before the camera goes on, get pumped and make sure they are dehydrated. It's just the Instagram fake reality on the big screen.

If you look at beautiful actors from the beginning of cinema through to the 90s they were just naturally beautiful people with a healthy amount of body fat.
How would that be better? The earth belongs to the living. Why would we possibly want to cryogenically preserve the dead?
I think it's an unavoidable outcome of optimization. Like when you sacrifice Cha for Str and Dex in RPGs. In games you have limited attribute points, but in real life you also have limited resources. Assign them to competing with people and you won't have them for connecting to people. There is now way around it. If I want to focus on my workouts I can't spend time trying to catch her eye contact at the gym. And she doesn't have time for that either, between actually working out and recording that for Instagram.

This only sounds like a 'problem' because the lisp dialects are so similar that you would almost expect them to be the same, no?

That seems like a nice feature - you know Common Lisp so you have to only learn some nuances to write PicoLisp effectively.

When it comes to the c-family of languages, you wouldn't expect a complaint about having to be aware of the differences between C and JavaScript since you can't even entertain the idea that they are all that similar.

I’m looking for a reliable and affordable solution to send transactional email from my WordPress site.I want to make sure that my emails are delivered fast, reliably, and securely, and that they look professional and consistent with my brand.Can anyone suggest best WP plugins for 2023?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking that it's the Steam Deck that's skewing these. Which is fine. Both Linux and MacOS are dwarfed by Windows.

The weird thing is, for me personally, is that of all the games I collected over there years when I did Windows gaming, many of them are now Apple Silicon native. Sure, the big ones like Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises aren't there, but many others are. Even the brand-new Baldur's Gate 3 is on Apple Silicon. No Man's Sky is now too.

I'm not a big gamer anymore, but it's just interesting to see.
