> I don't see a way to fix the rule of law problem by just "having strong rule of law". Those countries already have laws e.g. against corruption.

El Salvador did it.

At some point, which Mexico already reached a long time ago, cartels metastasize beyond narcotics and can sustain themselves on protection rackets. It’s very tempting to treat drug prohibition as some sort of monocausal explanation for organized crime, but even if that were true at some point, that doesn’t mean legalization would solve the problem. And I think the existence of conflict diamonds and the like already demonstrate that drug prohibition isn’t even necessary for this kind of problem to emerge in the first place.
Further testing and basically two kind of err code for the 6 rom I tested, example here:

;(nes:setup-and-emulate "1943.nes")
#|
The value
NIL
is not of type
6502-CPU::INSTRUCTION
when binding 6502-CPU::INST
|#

;(nes:setup-and-emulate "DKJU.nes")
#|
invalid number of arguments: 6
|#

I test both Rom using fcuex64.exe and both worked. Hence, I guess it is not usable. Sadly as the source code is very readable, unlike well python one.
They have a mirrored room on Element/Matrix as well but it's just the general chat and not the technical etc. sub-rooms. I quit Discord a while ago, probably for reasons similar to yours, and interact with the community using Element instead.
People in cities consume to a much larger extent simply because they are richer. 50% of the world's population live in cities but they consume 70% of the world's resources.
> would be met with incredible scrutiny.

i highly doubt that. maybe from you but that is of no consequence really (to obsidian). hence your strongly worded comments are a bit over the top
Sadly it does not work
Yeah things were much better when most people were illiterate but Protestants had to go and mess it up with their ideas that people should be able to read.
How do you get your TV to trust the self signed cert?
Self driving cars will lower the costs of having a roaming fleet out looking for fares down to near zero. It will be disastrous for cities in terms of congestion and emissions.
But income tax is not all taxes at all.
just a friendly reminder as it bit me often: the version history is gone/gets wiped any time you rename a file/folder.
“They have no oversight, no taxpayer accountability, no academic or curriculum standards,” said Beth Lewis, director of Save Our Schools Arizona, a public school advocacy group. “We don’t know what kids are learning.”

The irony is deep with this one.

It could be rephrased “They are not recognising our gatekeeper status nor participating in our bureaucratic processes and frankly that is just not fair. We especially object to our loss of exclusive access to tax payer funds. The idea that the tax payer themselves could have a direct say in how those funds are used in educating their children is just outrageous.”
It will be like that episode of the Simpsons "They Saved Lisa's Brain" - where the super-intelligent take over Springfield and its a disaster
I just saw a museum exhibition that featured a C64C, running all day, with a dust cover on, on what appeared to be the original PSU. I think it makes sense to be cautious about your own unit, but they’re probably not as vulnerable as people assume.
This is the correct time.
It is fair to not want pay enshittification tax to rent seekers.

The said ability exists on the YT website if you use desktop mode on the mobile browser.
> You'd have a fleet of driverless cars driving around the city and summon one with an app. With no drivers they would only need to stop to recharge/refuel and for maintenance.

Yep, and so the city will be flooded with cars.
> I don't see this as being wrong - it's in fact a feature of freedom and a high-rights country.

That's precisely the point I'm making. The US in particular values this over common social good, so public services don't really come about.

> No reasonable person will.

Many societies operate differently and get stuff done, even highly capitalist economies like Singapore or Japan. I've even found China to be far more markets oriented than European societies.
I assume lack of full faith in the very silly rebrand.
it's funny how the media immediately pointed fingers toward china when they didn't know who was the buyer
Home schooling should be either illegal or extremely tightly regulated. I don't think that parents should have the right to avoid a state-authorised education
> a soft brick, where the device is still working, but fails to boot to a usable state.

Interesting. This means that if I ruin my grub I soft bricked the PC. As long as it's recoverable easily, I wouldn't consider that 'bricking'.

> Could you clarify what you mean by this not sounding like you have root access?

I just meant that if the device is no longer usable, you don't control it (as root). But you clarified that soft-brick is like a boot problem which, if easily fixable, isn't a problem.

> Yes, I know about the warning, I wrote it.

Heh, small world.
My first racing game. I was about 8 years old and it is still one of the racing games I play from time to time.

One of the best demonstrations of the power of the C64: real physics, good AI opponents and a 3D graphics engine that is still unmatched on the C64.

Geoff Crammond is a great game developer.
In my household growing up the ads were almost always muted as soon as the roll started.

> What's stopping the city from buying and operating driverless cars?

Cost and inefficiency? The city should invest in and expand access to efficient public transit, not spend money on expensive multi-ton vehicles that can move one fare at a time. The solution to "some people live far from bus stops" should first be "local government adds more bus stops", not "local government spends billions on small cars."
Singapore and Japan (and to some degree China) are collectivist societies first and foremost, and capitalist only recently.
If you created a painless, super easy way to remove all ads

> With Jekyll I can write "_plugins/foo.rb" and put any code in there to add new Liquid template tags

To be fair, Hugo's shortcodes are similar to this without requiring a plugin. And with render hooks and `.Scratch` to temporarily store information, it gets you a long way. It takes some time and experimentation to understand these abilities, however, and the documentation is not always helpful, to say the least.
Will they?

AFAIK, Waymos thought of wheelchair users:

(They mention that the WAV trips in SF had been manual, it's unclear to me if that was the case also in Phoenix)

Anyhow, while I think that "zero effort" is hyperbole, the risk that they are not going to invest enough is a very real risk...

And also, if the argument is that 100% of their fleet should be (wheelchair?) accessible, that's a valid concern, since it seems that all players are currently failing at it
And many more kids simply don't.

> You only need to be a teaching ninja when you've been tasked when educating children who don't want to be there and aren't interested in what you have to say.

Way to blame the child for teachers failure. Yep, even motivated interested kids needs actual teaching. But yeah if you don't provide they loose motivation and you can then blame them.
There's a lot more context behind why we were better at building things in the 1940s and 50s than less regulation and bureaucracy.

For example we spent 7% of GDP every year on a government agency to build stuff - not because it was needed, just because it created jobs for people at the tail end of the Depression and first half of the War. Perhaps the entire industry that it fueled didn't die overnight and the millions of people they employed made building at scale during the largest economic expansion in American history helped.
But you're happy to use the monopolist's service.
The hubris here of their "we know what's best for your child" assertion is astounding.

"We don't know what kids are learning" is a wonderful thing to hear from a government rep.
There are a lot more trains than particle accelerators, I'd think economies of scale would be significant
I'm not from the USA - so I don't know about that specific case.

But let's take your premise and reword it.

What happens if shareholders have an agenda of extracting maximum benefits out of the company while actively encouraging its demise?

We see that all the time with private equity groups loading up on debt so they can make a huge profit and then letting the company go bust.

What happens if senior managers have an agenda of extracting maximum benefits for minimum effort?

Again, how many CEOs get golden parachutes after wrecking a company?

Who protects the workers in those situations?

You'll find (in some cases) unions do take a long term view. They want to secure long term benefits rather than a short term bump. That's because they're working for people who need a regular pay cheque. So you'll see compromises being made in order to secure longer term employment.
Name one valid context in which 15% == “most”
"I think YES", AI is smart enough to help us with content writing, blogs writing, social media post and Ad writing, ordering pizza at noon while we're busy on laptop, booking appointments, writing code in every and any language, automating our homes and offices, controlling planes during flight so pilots could take a quick nap, and helping us with in every part of life. Initially I was thinking that jobs of content writer and support staff is on risk but now Jobs for Software Engineering is on risk too. The one who created the AI now AI is on mission to kick his ass.
If the ad is displayed but you don't watch it you're hurting the advertiser, but id the ad is not displayed at all you're hurting the platform.
Show HN: A JSON-based CUI HTTP client with a variable expansion functionality
I just released `ycurl`, a JSON-based cross-platform CUI client for HTTP testing with a variable expansion functionality.

`ycurl` is in some sense a CUI-version of Postman, Insomnia, etc.
It is written 100% in Rust.

The most notable feature is variable expansion. Here's a sample (part of) JSON which defines a request body via variable expansion.

```json
"variables": {
"birthday": "0725"
},
"body": {
"name": "Mike",
"email": "mike_${birthday}@example.com",
"birthday": "${birthday}"
}
```

Another feature is pretty-print and syntax highlighting for the response body, like in `curl | jq`.

Give it a try :)
I learned hiragana and katakana by drilling RealKana [0], together with the Flash-based Drag-n-Drops [1] back when Flash was still a thing. It looks like the original author of [1] has non-Flash versions now [2].

RealKana is great for drilling recognition (kana -> pronunciation), and I learned the individual kana by loading one column at a time (e.g. ka/ki/ku/ke/ko). Drag-n-Drop is good for speed-testing recognition, but also for recall (pronunciation -> kana), since it's invertible: you can either choose a pronunciation and go find its kana, or choose a kana and find which pronunciation it goes to.

I'm not sure you can really "learn" these characters without drilling like this -- the symbols are arbitrary, so you have to memorize the association between glyph and reading by brute force.

It's really so unnecessarily complex for a static site builder.

My static site builder is just pandoc and a 3 loc makefile. Creates a beautiful website from my markdown.
Ah, so it is closer to a Hindley–Milner type system than something like Typed Racket's type system. Typed Clojure is largely based off of the latter and takes inspiration from some papers on local type inference[1] and [2] to handle multi-arity functions. I should look more into Coalton. Thanks for responding.

That's what most home schooling parents are trying to replicate, problems and all.
Well, that's one way to look at the world. Absolutist free speech.

But from a pragmatic point of view, free speech is a tool. It is useful protecting it up to the point it is, well, useful, but not beyond.

It is important that everyone can get their point across. But in any way? Surely not. If a billionaire decides to blast his podcast from every street corner, you'd be right to be annoyed. Putting it online suffices, and going beyond is harassment.

Further, even if you are happy with an absolutist free speech agenda, it doesn't mean everyone is, and I can't see why your approach should be imposed on others.

It’s not a closed group. You can pull your kid out and put them in a different group. It’s not like public school where your kid is forced to go to the one school in your catchment area.

The parents also have the option of reorganizing the group to kick the bully’s parents out, along with the bully.
It's different becaue regular broadcast TV pay a fee to get the channel out of a limited amount of available spot, and then use that limited available spot to have higher ad price.

Of course on cabled channels, they get part of the fee of your package.

There is no "compelessed consumption", there is available package "this for free with ads", or "this for a fee", you're free to chose the one you want or neither.

I'm certain your company whichever it is would have an issue if I wanted to use its services but then run away when it came time to pay the bill.
I have been using Cody in VSCode for a couple of months, and I am getting a ton of value out of it.

The key things I love are:

1. It really knows how to summarise a code blocks, this can be helpful to review code in other projects, or provide a refresher to your own, it misses very little!

2. It is very smart when it comes to filling in gaps in log statements, error messages or code comments.

3. Copy and paste is mostly dead, given a small hint it fills in the gaps for common patterns and is way less error-prone, and follows my prevailing style once the project is up and running.

4. Writing tests, this really surprised me but a lot of trivial, and some not so trivial ones are generated by Cody.

Things which annoy me when using Cody:

1. Suggests when writing in markdown are not very helpful, most are wordy, and always positive, it is almost impossible to get a negative or even snarky sentence out of it...

2. Inline suggestions are a bit annoying at times, it really doesn't "know your code", or that of your libraries, for common std library calls it is great, but anything more complex or obscure it is mostly wrong.

3. It is somewhat bolted onto VSCode using some creative solutions, with VSCode only allowing more fit for purpose APIs to be used by GitHub Copilot, which is sad.

Overall it is doing a lot of the heavy lifting turning my code into English, and either entirely building tests, or fleshing out enough for me to just tweak the code a little so big from me.
Why would any one retain surveillance of me? Because it has value. And if it has value, then I want my cut. Pay me or erase it.

Why build an entire city instead of improving an existing one?

I imagine it’s because of pesky governments run by elected citizens who share common interests with their constituents.

What unholy shenanigans will these billionaires force on their residents who will undoubtedly have no role in the government?
> If I wanted to pay for a streaming service, it'd be Nebula (https://nebula.tv/), because I know it benefits creators

Huh? Ad revenue and Premium subscription also ends up as direct payouts for YouTube creators, what are you talking about? Why the need for this BS?
Those projects likely consider the low barrier to entry more beneficial compared to some effort needed for the moderation.
The odds that any 2000 bit random input TM ever reaches a similar input tape/current state is 0. Just imagine the average TM which receives 2000 bits of random input in the first 2000 slots of the tape after every operation.

What you’re saying is both mathematically and psychologically impossible. Almost nothing which receives random inputs every unit of time ever ends up at the exact same state as any previous state.

The only counterexamples to this are algorithms which encode the random inputs to some concrete rules. I guarantee any such set of rules you can imagine are vastly less complex than any LLM let alone any human brain.
This problem is fundamentally a coordination problem, where land is conditionally valuable based on whether multiple lots can be purchased in tandem, and thus the value is based on getting everyone to sell at the same time. If the billionaires had known in advance that lots of existing landowners would pull this, they would have gone and bought land elsewhere, and the existing landowners would get nothing.

What's more, the billionaires are clearly offering a clearly profitable deal for everyone, specifically so that nobody has an excuse to refuse and cause the coordination problems mentioned. And because they bought at well above market price, they're stuck with dead weight if they don't go through with the affair.

In other words: the existing landowners are 1) demanding money well above the inherent value of the land, and 2) this mechanism/behavior of the existing landowners isn't useful to society/the economy as it makes it harder to do things that require lots of land. This is a textbook example of where government intervention is useful, if done competently and not corruptly.
If the advertisers had their way unimpeded, we'd be in "drink verification can" territory now.
Oh, I do it all the times. So much, I know I don’t have to try too hard to solve a vexed problem. All what I need is to remember all the details and the difficulties arises from attempting solving it, so lucid that I can virtually juggle the things entirely in my head. Then I keep day dreaming about the problem and eventually go to sleep. Most likely when I wake up, I would have a solution, or at least a fresh new idea to try.

It also works during a toilette sitting :D That’s why for me an ideal bathroom should be well lit, preferred with sun light, well aired with lush green plants, clean and with material for reading.
And instead paying for services if there's the option, right?

Or should we just continue consuming people's services and effort while blocking what's sometimes their only revenue stream?

I'd rather not use a service if it has ads and I can't remove them, instead of block them and make everyone else's experience worse.
So they didn't remove it did they? You just refuse to pay for that service and spread bs to make you feel better?

It was very shocking to go from 75dB to an ambient 30dB or something like that out in the countryside. I'd have much preferred to talk over or zone out over the commercials without the suddenly shocking lack of auditory stimulus!
Asking you to pay for service costs and content is not rent seeking. That's not what that phrase means.
it's funny that this pops up a few days before I return the remarkable 2 (through their 100-day money-back guarantee, otherwise I wouldn't have tried it).

to anyone considering buying one, if you are left-hand dominant, skip it. what most people don't understand is that being a lefty doesn't mean that you can use a mirror image of what's served to righties (in this case, the UI) and then everything is fine.

don't get me wrong, I'm returning it for several reasons - a few can be inferred from other people's comments here. I'm only putting this out there for all my sinister siblings, 'cause writing english is a pain for us.

Very nice, but my first thought was "surely this will not fit in 64k of ram!". And it doesn't. It requires a 16MB REU!

To explain for the uninitiated how rare this bit of hardware is. The REU available for the c64 back in the day were 256kB and 512kB. These are most commonly built replicas as there are schematics available for them. Sometime in the late 90s there was also an "expansion" for c64 that contained a completely new CPU (superCPU - 65816) that was code compatible with the original and I believe this device could accommodate up to 16mb.

Later reimplementations based purely on fpga popped up including a REU with 16mb. The original SuperCPU schematic was lost to time. Allegedly fpga based expansions are available to buy for few hundred EUR now, but I don't know anyone that attempted to buy one or has one.

So, although it is a neat trick(still a cool tech achievement) , saying it runs on c64 is akin to saying I got doom3 running on a 386, but my 386 is actually a pci card in a modern pc...

If I can't pull my c64 with hardware available back in the day (or hardware one could realistically built back in the day) I'm not sure saying "runs on c64" is correct.

Coming back to the subject of a REU, why has no one published a schematic for one yet? There are cheap SRAM chips floating on ebay. It should be trivial to put one together. Unfortunately it isn't, because the original (Super Cpu) had two components we need a beefy fpga to emulate. The supercpu itself and it's dma controller which was a custom asic I believe.

Perhaps as cheap(ER) fpgas or uC with fpga-like functionality become available someone will create an open source "super cpu". As of yet, everyone I ever heard using these, uses emulation. Nothing wrong with that, but I get the most out of my "retro hobby" by running original hardware. Emulation is very useful for dev, but for general use it's a bit "meh" for me.
I turned on my VPN and everything seems to be working properly. Perhaps my IP is blocked or something?
We need to differentiate a little more here. Instead of me having to watch another f*ing viagra ad, since I'm male and above 40, we should instead talk about substituting ads with getting actual fecal matter thrown at us. Your argument still applies. I should accept this because it is in my interest to support advertisers, since, really, I work for one. (In that I work for a private company that also pays for ads.)

Now before you dismiss this as childish and/ or obnoxious: please consider the point. We cannot gloss over _what_ we "have" to watch and not just that it's an ad.

It is true that things have to be paid for and I am 100% for this. But if you want me to basically degrade myself in order for me to get to watch your content, then wtf?
