I think what is first necessary is to force compliance of upgrading of IPV4 stacks to accept some information in the options section of the IP packet. According to wikipedia, many/most routers ignore or block packets that have anything specified there.

You know what? That sounds like the RFC isn't being followed, but if it's a large enough pattern, then the RFC doesn't matter. It is the standard.

I would say:

1) gather all the engineers from the major switches and networking companies, the Linux network stack, and apple and microsoft, and sure the mobiles. And ask them the easiest way to change the code to support a vast expansion of addresses in the general format of the IPV4 header: options section? Magic IPV4 address that triggers a IPV4r2 packet?

2) as a carrot, maybe you make some way that NATs / VPNs / bridging / whatever works BETTER in the IPV4r2 packet? If the packets had more information in them about the mapping/bridging so external polling was easier and numerous other use cases, then that would spur the vendors to change.

3) accept that NATs, Bridges, etc exist and will continue to. They are now established as a way to think about networking, and there are likely millions of people that think about networking in these ways, even if they are superfluous / unnecessary in the utopia of IPv6 universal adoption. So put them in the protocol. If universal addressing with firewalls eliminates everything, then they will wither on the vine over the course of a couple decades.

So, what's wrong with this? It's obviously naive.

Also, NO SLASHES NO COLONS in the notation. And ... can we increase the number of ports to 32 bits or more?

UBI is far from the only way to do a single transfer, and it certainly can be simple (from the perspective of actually running it, if not from the politics perspective). But I was not suggesting a change to the benefits system in CA. I was suggesting using whatever existing benefits programs there are (of which I'm sure CA has many), rather than trying to create a new one. California has _lots_ of ways of getting money to poor people, including changing the tax structure. There is no need to create a completely novel, complicated way of getting them more money.
Based on what metric? Deflation is worse than inflation. Shrinking trade exports are deadly for an export based economy that doesn’t have a robust consumer base or service sector. China is now decoupling its service sector of law firms, accounting firms and consultants. Extrapolate those trends and you would expect China to be increasingly decoupling from the global trade network after decades of open integration and the growth/wealth that comes with it.
High rent is caused by limitations on market activity. It is caused by zoning and regulations that prevent building housing, or make building housing more expensive.

Both of these programs are currently voluntary. The service Utah utilizes requires a GPS device. The Oregon program has 3 milage accounting programs EV owners can choose from. 2 of these require using a GPS device. 1 of these is working to eliminate the GPS device requirement. The provider which currently doesn't require a GPS device is the Oregon Department of Transportation.

EV's in each of these states pay a higher registration fee than non-EV vehicles. By enrolling in these programs EV owners pay the same registration fee as for non-EV vehicles and then pay per mile up to the amount of the normal EV registration fee.

There was a Oregon senate bill introduced this year to make participation mandatory for EVs but the bill died in committee.

You are missing the fact that the human lungs are something like twice as effective and powerful as the "need" to be at sea level, and have plenty of room to handle less oxygen in the air. Second, the human body adapts quite well to living at higher altitudes, because it will compensate for the lower oxygen levels.

Same blood oxygen level as a sea level human means same quantity of oxygen getting to the brain.

>Even if oxygen levels are identical once you get to the blood stream, it can cause many changes further up the process.

What mechanism could possibly cause this? The brain is getting all the oxygen it needs.

Y Combinator has helped the world realize that inspiration should go the other way--large companies should try to operate more like startups.

What is the survival rate of companies <5years? What is the survival rate of companies >50 years? The author himself points out that as your organization grows, you become more risk-averse. You have more to lose, but that also means you have something.

When John Qian throws 60% of his total assets at a problem, you can get a few intoxicated engineers to work hard at it and have a lot of fun doing it. What if Amazon, or Home Depot, threw 60% of their assets at an entirely new idea every few months? It doesn't make any sense.

Startups fail all the time because they are doing risky things. Successful businesses take less risk and fail less often. You're taking a strategy that has proven to not work and saying it should work.

Zoom definitely has several AI models (as does teams, google chat, etc.)

They do automatic captioning/transcription of meetings, so there is a model for that; they do automatic background blur/cutout, so there is a model for that; they are probably working on a "meeting summarization" product for that.

Those are features that people love and use all the time. I would be curious to know how anyone expects Zoom to improve on these features without collecting data from real users on the platform.

Just looked at LINQ and it looks like Ecto [0] used a lot of its ideas for inspiration! I haven't used LINQ, but in Ecto, there are so many useful constructs for composing queries. If you get a stinker of a query, you have multiple escape hatches such as fragments [1] or just writing the queries directly as needed [2].

For beginners, the Elixir language constructs can be a little clunky, but once you get it, it's so productive and I miss that productivity when doing more advanced queries in other languages.

EV’s produce slightly more from tires but far less from breaks.

It’s kind of shocking when you consider the volume of material removed from both tires and breaks over time * the number of cars.
The key point is that all v6 addresses are owned by v4 addresses and therefore tunnelable, and that tunneling support is mandatory. There is no external prereq to having an individual device be able to open connections to v6 addresses, and only support at the router (with a public address) is needed to receive connections from any v6 address.

There is no way around upgrading end devices. But the problem with v6 adoption isn't the number of end devices from before 1995.

Basically the adoption plan could have been:

1. Get end OSs to have v6 support. They gain the ability to make outgoing connections to v6 addresses right away. There's no reason, from the beginning, for this not to be enabled by default with zero configuration from the beginning.

2. Get NAT routers at the edge to have v6 support. Gains the ability to publish services from inside without awkward port forwarding etc (and increases the benefit of 1)

3. Slowly make v4 addresses expensive so that consumers make do with less than a /32. They need v6 capable endpoints but can communicate as clients with anyone, and as servers with anyone who has adopted v6

4. Eventually v4 addresses are so expensive, and the number of machines running browsers that don't support v6 so small, that small time web sites stop taking a /32

etc. it doesn't really matter when the network backbones upgrade, it just saves a few bytes on the wire and they internalize the cost of that

This just doesn't seem like what happened in our timeline.

Yeah, I think it's safe to assume this. One time as a contractor, I was working on a GIS-enabled game for some company. Their privacy policy was very clear that they will not use or sell your data for any reason. It was even on their home page, because it was a key selling point. By the time I was involved with this app, the money was running out, and I vividly remember being in a meeting with the leadership where they were enumerating their options, one of which was to find someone to buy all this user data they'd collected. Their commitment to privacy disappeared the instant it was tested. Ever since then, I just assume this is how every company works. No matter what they say, they're selling your data.
If I were to write a detailed critique of the Tractatus it would be orders of magnitude longer than the Tractatus. But when critiquing a work that is utter nonsense from beginning to end it suffices to show that the foundations are nonsense because garbage-in-garbage-out. If someone starts out by proclaiming that one is equal to two, you don't have to dig into the details of their argument to say confidently that it has no merit.

> what put an end to analytical philosophy and a start to computer science

That is also nonsense.

First, Wittgenstein did not "put an end to analytical philosophy":

"Analytic philosophy is a branch and tradition of philosophy using analysis, popular in the Western world and particularly the Anglosphere, which began around the turn of the 20th century in the contemporary era in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Scandinavia, and CONTINUES TODAY [emphasis added]." [1]

And second, Wittgenstein did not start computer science. That credit goes to Alan Turing -- or maybe Goedel or Babbage or Jacquard or Boole or Frege or the unknown inventor of the abacus. But certainly not Wittgenstein.

I'm sorry, but this emperor is naked.

If you discuss proprietary information you should be very concerned about Zoom training their models on that. Especially when they pivot into generative AI (which is the obvious use case if you have that much conversation data flowing through your system).

LLMs can regurgitate training data unpredictably so you really can’t have any enterprise data flowing through such a system.

I guess my point is that “their AI models” will very likely include more than noise cancelling before too long. It’s too juicy a dataset to ignore.

Even considering the climate benefits of EVs over gas cars, I am skeptical of large scale public investment in EVs because it pulls funding away from what cities really need: public transit and better biking/walking infrastructure. Regardless of the climate, cities just work better for humans when they're not clogged up with cars, EV or not.

EVs unfortunately also double down on cars' need for parking in busy areas (due to the need for charging stations) which totally disrupts urban fabric and wastes valuable land that could be housing, businesses, or parks.

For rural areas, though, I can see the climate benefit of the EV transition. Without the climate benefit, though, I am just not sure whether the side effects of EVs, like lithium battery production and disposal, would outweigh "cleaner air".

I think Go is on that Java/.NET adoption curve, but it's climbing it slowly because backend programming, as a whole, is a lot bigger, mature and diverse today, than it was when Java/.NET emerged.

I think there's a decent chance that, `[java.age - go.age = 15 years]` from today, Go is high up on the totem pole. From my perspective, its ecosystem is vibrant but still young – we still need to decide on the Go equivalent of Flask, Django, Spring, etc.
Most problems don't require a general graph. They require subsets of a graph, because everything is a subset of a graph. A list is a subset of a graph. A map is. A tree is. A relational database is. A directed acyclic graph is. But we can stop before it's just any "graph". We can stop at DAG, like neural networks do, or even at tree, like programming language syntax does ("abstract syntax tree", "expression tree"). Code and data are two faces of the same thing.

You can also easily reproduce a graph when you need it, by using simpler data with computation on top which builds the graph "on the fly", without it having to be your baseline memory model. You can for example easily describe a graph in two SQL tables: edges and nodes. But SQL state itself is not just any graph, and for a very good reason.

You probably know that the first databases were hierarchical and graph. SQL won not because it gave more freedom, but because it removed freedom in a highly specific way, which enabled larger more reliable systems, contrary to naive expectations. Too much freedom is freedom to shoot yourself in the foot, whether you know better or not.

Today graph databases have enjoyed a renaissance, but despite they have solid uses cases, they'll never be the baseline type of database. They won't replace relations. People have learned their lesson in databases. But in programming languages, they haven't. It's one of those things where we can't translate knowledge from one area to another, because the words we use for the same effects are different and therefore we can't make the connection.

Ask HN: "Lisp can be written in Lisp.” Why is it a big deal?
Paul Graham explains in his Roots of Lisp article that one can write a Lisp eval in Lisp itself. Interesting idea, but then, so what? I've seen many Lispers claim that this is one of the powerful features of Lisp, but I don't understand what they mean. If I already have a Lisp (written in, say, C), then why would I need to write Lisp in itself? Isn't it circular? I have a feeling that this is kinda meta and there's a deeper "enlightenment" in it, but what is it?

The problem is that you aren't paying for kWh alone (about 20% of your bill goes to that), you are also paying for grid maintenance. With people (typically well-off people) going solar the money for grid maintenance needs to come from somewhere.

The effect of nitrogen varies with its pressure, i.e. with its concentration, while no changes are seen when the helium pressure is varied.

This allows the conclusion that nitrogen has anesthetic effect and helium does not have stimulant effect.

Because it appears that the anesthetic effect of inert gases depends on their molecular mass, being much stronger for heavy gases like xenon, it is possible that helium also has an anesthetic effect, but one that becomes noticeable only at higher pressures than can be safely tested.

Wealth translates directly into political influence - just look at Alabama!

Also - consider that a good amount of wealth is locked up in real estate. Whoever falls in that bucket has political influence and no interest at all that more housing will be built, because that will diminish their wealth.

I think in a lot of cases (all?) you don't actually have to rebuild. There are easy wins like removing mandatory parking minimums. In downtown Columbus, Ohio around where I live we have a lot of surface parking lots. Those could be housing. We can run a street tram on a 5 mile N/S loop and eliminate traffic, etc. We don't have to build suburban sprawl either. It's not rocket science. We spent I think a billion dollars reconfiguring a highway that runs through downtown. Projects like that are low ROI and largely just make existing problems worse.

I would say it certainly requires thinking, but we also know that we can't (and economic physics will dictate this whether we like it or not) continue with car-only infrastructure and we also know for a fact that EVs won't fix many of the problems they seek to address. Emissions can be one area that they help in, but they're not a silver bullet and they're laughable compared to things like busses, biking, walking, street trams, etc. when it comes to addressing emissions (never mind traffic, premature deaths, cost, etc.).
> This is a horrible proposal. Power should still cost per KWh, but that price should be the sliding scale.

Both of those things are still true in this proposal - it's not proposing a fixed price for electricity based on income. Electricity will still be priced per kWh (although at a slightly lower rate) over and above the flat income-based fee, and the price will continue to vary by time of day (AKA time-of-use) instead of by income.

The income-based fees will cover all the state-mandated programs run by the utilities to provide support for low-income residents, among other things. Yes, that's effectively a redistributive tax that should be done via regular state legislation and state programs to help lower income people install solar and batteries, thereby increasing their resilience and decreasing their dependency on utility rates.

But such measures are unpopular because nobody will vote for a tax raise to help poor people pay for equipment to help them save money on electricity bills. That's a privilege for the well-off. These issues are left between the conflicting interests of a shareholder owned utility and the state.
