Saying this as an Italian, your statement misses a [1].

In the last 20-30 years there have been huge improvements on a handful of (highly trafficated) routes, and a corresponding amount of worsening in all the rest.

Besides the so-called "digital divide" (widely different possibilities of access to the internet depending on your location), there is a clear "railroad divide", the biggest/main cities are well connected, all the rest is at the same level as (or worse than) the '60's (or even earlier).

There is a way to draw maps abstracting from geometrical projections (anamorphic), based on some given parameters, if you choose "travel time by train" what you will get will be a "time cartogram" where Italy is very short (north-south) but very, vey thick (west-east).

>are there still traditional bank cards in Austria, not readable from a distance?

Do you actually live in Austria and know the real situation on the ground, or are you making up fantasy scenarios for strawman arguments for some good old-fashioned internet trolling? Because you would know the answer tot that.
Theres is one thing non apple manufacturers can’t do: iOS

I’ve given old iphones / helped purchase new ones to my Android friends over the years - none got back to android.

The experience is subjective but a well designed user interface with attention to detail an very responsive hardware/software combination that keeps working like that after 4+ years beats every other option.
Specially after apple focused on selling services and now old devices seem more performant than ever.

Also you don’t need a $1000 iPhone - a refurbished 2nd gen SE is about 250 on amazon.
is it possible in theory that flux-pinning could occur without actually causing superconductivity? because LK-99 seems to be decoupling alot of properties we thought were coupled if I'm understanding correctly?

Look up 'racing the beam' if you haven't before. The answer is... you can't! It didn't have a frame buffer and lines had to be written to the display one at a time. There was a lot of sprite flicker as many games had more on screen than the console could actually display in one frame.

I'm not sure the value connection can't be the largest factor. If you feel forced to buy a car and drive because you live in a car only area, I can see why you would buy the best value one and be a pretty hostile driver who occasionally decides to "have fun" with it.

Hoax is quite a strong word where there's been quite a few replication attempts with various degrees of success. Like others have said, we're not sure what this is, but it almost certainly isn't a hoax.

As for this video, well, it's like all the other ones that came before it, we'll know more once we have more data/videos/replication attempts.
It's basically only the state in the RAM, the game code is in ROM on the cartridge (you can have up to 4KB of ROM before have to rely on bank switching tricks). Video on the 2600 is weird, there isn't any video memory to speak of, you basically set up the video chip line by line in code.
It is possible to provide such emphasis without belittling former students in the process.

I’m a bit cautious about this because it’s presented as “he is said to have remarked…”, but cutting people down - especially students - to make some other point is unnecessary and not ideal.
I am curious, since there seem to be many linguists in this thread, could anyone place Ken Schwaber's (one of the co-creators of scrum) accent? The most noticeable characteristic about it is that his /æ/ in words like "have", "past", "perhaps", "backlog" sounds very narrow/high. The /ei/ in "take" is also more narrow/high than usual. Is this something characteristic of any of the American dialects?

Google says he was born in 1945 in Wheaton, Illinois. Is this typical of that area?

In my example, the "state" part is someone storing the specific VPC reference to re-apply to a newly re-created lambda. Rather than recreating both the VPC and the Lambda. Many people would refer to that as a bad practice because it's carrying state. e.g., the kind of stuff that terraform puts in .tfstate files.

There's definitely a purist camp that advocates completely stateless infra. Though there's also what you're describing, where some people consider state to only refer to things like databases.
Archive.* sabotages their DNS records when Cloudflare queries for them. They don't like that Cloudflare doesn't do EDNS forwarding so they broke their service for people using 1.1.1.1.

That said, I have the same problem. Even hard coding the IP address I resolved through Google doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing their sabotage may have backfired and is causing issues beyond their intentional scope?

That sounds like a great idea for the long term, but what about the people that need a solution today? We have to make do with what we got until science advances.
> > You think years of training, education and experience don't occur outside fancy journals?

> Literally nothing I said was about this.

Yes you did. Here is a copy of the comment you responded to:

""I wanna smoke what the gatekeepers are smoking. “No, you don’t understand science! It can come only from fancy journals. You cannot test the properties yourself!”. Meanwhile Varda goes brrr.""

You responded to that comment with:

""Yes, years of training, education, and experience is now "gatekeeping"""

The implication of your comment was that it's not gatekeeping to say that science can only come from fancy journals, because it takes years of training, education and experience to get to those fancy journals - and those years of bla bla are somehow an exclusive property of being in a fancy journal.

> We have a fun little situation where HN people, most of which barely know anything about superconductivity, or physics, or really anything outside of their webdev bubble, think that their random opinions on random news articles means anything. A 10 minute read of Wikipedia is now considered expertise. Obviously the random news article with low quality information is proof that room temp superconductivity is a real thing.

This was directed at me, as if I had presented myself as some kind of expert on superconductivity, or implied that I have some kind of valuable opinions on superconductivity. Where did I write anything that could be inferred in that direction? Nowhere! I disparaged your journal-worshipping, predatory-business-supporting, anti-science attitude. That's all. I didn't provide any opinions on superconductivity.
The writers could still turn out to be right. I am not sure we are making good use of all that hardware yet.
> Long time HN'er college dropout and I read a LOT of scientific papers. Probably an average of 4 a week over the past couple of decades, sometimes reading 40 in a week.

I'm guessing that you don't actually dive into each paper to 100% understand it? I find it takes me at least 10 hours of reading/looking things up per paper before I could consider that I fully understand it. But that would mean, if I want to do 4 papers per week, I'd spend at least 40 hours/week, that's like a full-time job, so obviously I don't have time for that.

How much time would you estimate it takes you to read through one paper? And how much of the content would you estimate gets retained and can be recalled when you wish?
You should look into the German system.

How it is supposed to work is that 50% of representatives are 'local' representing a region (of roughly 300.000 people) and the remaining 50% of representatives ensure proportionality.

So, imagine the CDU (centre-right party) wins 40% of the voting share, but 60% of the seats, the SPD (centre-left) 30% of both voting share, and seats, the Greens 20% of the share but only 10% of the seats, and the FDP 10% of the share and no seats. The seats to ensure proportionality would be distributed 20%, 30%, 30%, 20% respectively.

There are a lot of subtleties to the system to ensure true proportionality that I won't go into right now, and tend to lead to the parliament growing (if things work perfectly there should be 598 seats, but currently there are 736), but broadly the system works.
What is dangerous or misleading? It is a formulation I learned in my graduate statistics course. It is the one that makes the most sense and requires the least amount of handwaving.

> But H0 occupies a lower-dimensional space than 𝒫 — it’s a measure-zero subset.

In non-Bayesian framework your hypotheses don't have to be a part of a measurable structure at all. Nevertheless, if you have a measure, it doesn't have to be a zero at every point. I think it is quite intuitive to see. Let's look at two questions: (1) Does X have an effect? (2) How large is that effect? If your prior puts a non-zero probability that the answer to the first question is "No", then priors for the second question will have non-zero at point 0, even though the probability of any other point may be zero.

> And this results in what I consider to be useless headline results

These headlines don't have anything to do with Bayesian vs non-Bayesian as far as I see. People not doing power analysis is a people problem, not an issue with a statistical framework.
That'd be the way that you read it, if they were another Alexandra Elbakyan (or Joanna Rutkowska, or Stephanie Wehner, or ... ) then they clearly wouldn't be a King among Men.

Just as I wrote.
This auto configuration mechanism is called stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) so "Your OS disable IPv6 SLAAC" or something like that in your favorite search engine should give you the answer. After that you should be able to manually configure your address and gateway like you would for v4. If your prefix is dynamic it gets a bit ugly then you have to use link local addresses and something like NPTv6 or NAT66 on the gateway. A better alternative IMHO would be to use different VLANs for the two networks but then your switch and possibly access point have to support it.
I don’t think an unmodified 6502 would get faster; it assumes memory is fast enough for its clock speed, and won’t, for example, prefetch code or data.

Also, if you add a modern-sized cache, you won’t need the memory at all in a single-CPU system; the cache would easily be larger than the addressable memory.

As an Italian lving in the northern part of the country:

The trains are used pretty extensively and they works.

The Trenitalia has fixed fares on the low speed lines (so no need to buy them weeks before) and are resonably priced.

I the south...EH.

Would use them only for an extensive trip (from a big city to another big city)

But by nature Italy HAS to use a lot of air travel as the country is very long and that's problematic.

(don't forget than Sicily has 5M people and the 2 main airports see 9M people transit a year)
> Published findings fail to replicate all the time all over science. The responsible thing is to suspend judgement until it has been independently verified a few times, especially if it's a result from a field in which you are not up to date with the latest findings.

Completely agree. Even if the replications are not immediately published in Nature, they can be valuable.
This is an opportunity to mention that LibreOffice constitutes a solid and worthy alternative to MS Office, which does not require you to be chained to Microsoft or any sort of licensing. It will also _not_ send your data silently to MS or the US government or any other third party.

For online versions, Collabora (a commercial company) offers a FOSS online office suite based on LibreOffice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collabora_Online

and if anyone wants to integrate AI use in an office suite, those are the most interesting avenues. Perhaps together with free LLMs.

Most of the dockapps I used do not use GNUstep. I peeked into two now, one is libdockapp based, the other has internal code, both of them assume a default size, because it's not trivial for them to query the configuration in GNUstep format without the libraries.

The program and assets are stored in a ROM cartridge, so only mutable data needs RAM.

Actually drawing things on screen depends on two things:

The first is racing the beam. The display output traces across the entire screen at 60Hz, one scanline at a time. At no point does a complete image exist, instead you just make sure to apply changes so that the machine can draw what needs to be drawn just before the beam traces that part of the image. You will need to cycle count so that your program takes exactly the right time to execute every section, because you certainly won't have time for interrupts or other synchronization.

The second is using dedicated hardware, where you store the location on screen, color and memory address of a sprite, and the hardware draws it for you. There are a very limited amount of sprites available, which limits the amount of things that can happen in a single line.
Kitty is nice. Simple, supports lots of terminal codes, colours, GPU rendering, highly configurable remapping if you want it.
anecdote : most 'high volume source code' sites i've encountered are that way because of a need to meet standards on a large amount of devices, compliance regulations, and scaffolding/boiler-plate; 90% of it being dead-code boilerplate.

the logic comes at the very tail end, and often it is exceedingly limited, handing off msot of the work to third party APIs/whatever.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that source-code volume is a lousy metric for ascertaining 'complexity'; something can be huge and cumbersome but still only use simple logic that's easy to follow once you get past the cruft.
It hasn’t been nearly so long for me, but I’ve managed to hold on to much of the math I’ve learned by re-proving theorems I’d learned and solving problems in my head during downtime, while doing household chores, and while falling asleep.

You don't need many to deter potential adversary.

For any party that's hit, "several hits on capital + several other major cities + military bases hit" is effectively the same (deterrent) as "every major city hit". Both equate to "country in ruins" regardless exact # of cities hit. And therefore, an non-starter.

Having enough missiles to have a chance of hitting every adversary's missiles while still in their silo's, is... nonsense. In an all-out conflict, any number of missiles would 'escape', and massive devastation on all sides the result.

But I do wonder whether we'll see 'accidental' nuclear explosion some day. Non-rational dictator that pushes the button, conventional conflict escalated into nuclear one, terrorism, or plain stupid accident / misunderstanding / technical glitch. There have been some near misses already, and higher # of bombs / missiles certainly ups the odds.
Well it's pretty normal to write such addons to the OTP, depending on your needs, but yeah I'd love it if a few more of them were builtin.

>It is up for attestors to compete in providing a valuable signal to sites.

right because users will chose attestor - oh wait they will not.

This system is designed (at least in Chrome) with PLATFORMS in mind not independent attestors - so you clearly didn't get the memo.

>valuable signal

rather highly intrusive signal.

>It's not anticompetitive because you can come up with your own standard of a secure device and get sites to trust your attestor.

Again it is anticompetitive when you produce a standard that benefits you (or biggest players) on market and makes nearly impossible for another competitor to emerge - it is even more anticompetitive when you create standard that "is impossible to implement" for architectural and 'branding' (ideological) reason by another competitor.

Such situation can be understood as public attempt: to form cartel at best, monopoly at worst. Both are anticompetitive by nature - and would result in dissolution of company if it is registered in any country with working and not totally corrupt government.

> The unemployment rate at the height of the Great Depression was "only" about 25%. If 3 people doing the work of 4 is already a huge problem, 1 person doing the work of 50 or 100 is massive.

Yes, although that is very rarely a design goal.

>For software, I fear complexity would make it much harder to build something that works for 50+ years, the probability of some nasty long term overflow bug or slow memory leak would make that difficult.

Not that hard to handle. You just need to setup an appropriate architecture. In Aeronautic software systems you often have forced resets, if the software is not reaching certain points of exrcution.
You also do not have memory leaks, since you do not have dynamic memory.
