So of the ones you list, "none of the above".
>We've mostly found ways to contain or replace those.

Highly toxic ones or in the case for the CFC's & co ones with a rather fast disproportionate effect and alternatives available.
We make these choices relatively quickly and properly whenever they're proportionally easy. From leaded fuel to measures to prevent smog.
I don't see the same push for lesser but more omnipresent ones like plastic. Whilst we contain the vast majority of it to landfills I find it rather disturbing how much of it has found it's way out there. Meanwhile recycling is used as a deceptive sham reason to retain it's use in current form and burning it is added to the green energy stats. It boggles the mind

> This can be replaced with thermal water splitting from nuclear power

How so?

>or electrolysis

If i remember well and correct me if i'm wrong the last study i saw on this projected this would need electricity prices that were ridiculously low. Under 0.03$/kwh i think. We'd much sooner use the hydrogen in power to gas plants as a form of energy storage but even that lacks wide scale commercial viability in the forseeable future.
Given we're not in some post scarcity society when it comes to energy in the forseeable future i don't see many ditching our conventional methods quickly whilst also cutting down on....nearly all the rest. (Steel production also has a similar output, etc)

So I imagine if we cut down on that in an attempt to be sustainable fertilisers would become a lot lot more expensive putting pressure on our food supply.
This in the context of a world poplation that will keep growing, in the meantime we have other issues that relate to food security.
For example in Germany flying insect populations dropped about 75% since 1990. We're not exactly jumping to quit what's causing that too.
Fontemon [0] makes this a bit more obvious by including a web page with the font embedded, so we can control the animation by typing, rather than watching someone else type. However, mmulet embeds some sort of Blender project [1], rather than a wasm binary to accomplish the font shaping.

Ask HN: How do you organize your data and maintain digital hygiene?
The organization of my digital assets is rather ... haphazard! Some files (create, downloaded, received from others) on one computer. Some on another computer. Some files are backed up, some of those backups are not regular. Photos are on the phone, but not on the computer. The phone syncs photos to a large cloud provider, but photos deleted from the phone don't get deleted in the cloud. Videos occasionally get copied to a USB drive connected to the TV. Some data is shared with others via cloud providers, other is not. Files in the various computers are disorganized across folders, filenames, multiple versions in different places.. and so on.

I'm imagining that many of you have clean, well-organized, backed up digital assets across a variety of computers and cloud providers. Curious how you do it in terms of i) Motivation ii) organization schemes (e.g. Johnny Decimal? PARA?) iii) Tools and processes, potentially across file-types (e.g. Photos vs documents, files created by yourself vs obtained elsewhere) iv) Any sharing you do (e.g. with Spouse, family, friends) v) Prevent entropy from growing. vi) Any other points/topics to be considered?

Please share your data organization best practices, warnings, success stories, pitfalls etc.
Your premise just isn’t true. I worked at a court, have friends who are public defenders, and know people involved in Northwestern Law’s “innocence project.” Most criminal appeals we got were from people who were clearly guilty from the mountain of evidence presented at trial. Most public defenders will admit that most of their clients are guilty, and their job is mainly making sure the clients get a fair process and are prosecuted for the correct crimes. And most innocence projects acknowledge they have to filter through hundreds of cases to identify the relative handful where it’s clear that the justice system has failed.

In the debate regarding the percentage of imprisoned people who are wrongfully convicted, the estimates in the literature are 1-4%, with some scholars arguing it’s well under 1%: https://dc.law.utah.edu/scholarship/138/. The criminal justice system is extremely accurate for a human institution.
A lot of these people are stuck in the situation. While they can get flood insurance to rebuild the property, they can't afford to abandon the property, and they can't find anyone to sell it to. So they are in a cycle of rebuilding the property, waiting for a flood, then rebuilding it again.

There is a pretty obvious solution in my mind: The federal government offers homeowners a buyout for them to move out of that property. If they choose not to take the buyout, they are removed from the flood insurance program.

This would save the government a lot of money over time, even if they made the buyout significantly higher than the property value.

Arm’s Hot Chip Reveal: Faster Silicon Development, Performance Uplifts
I don’t think you are missing any nuance at this point.

If the amount of uninsurable properties is (comparatively) small, it’s way easier to throw some money at them and keep everyone happy. I think that’s the basic premise of the program.

Everything changes when, for example, a large chunk of South Florida becomes uninsurable or inhabitable, potentially displacing hundreds of thousands. I don’t think we have anything in place for that scenario.
Failed to design a beautiful language, yes. But they didn't fail to design a usable workhorse language.
I'm a big fan of PopOS after using it for over a year now. I hadn't used desktop Linux for over a decade and expected the usual hassle and obscure fiddling, but in all honesty I've found it easier to use than not just Windows (obviously, it's a shitshow these days) but even Mac too (which wouldn't let me configure my suspend settings without running obscure shell commands copied off the internet, and required me to set up homebrew to get any decent software store, and broke git on every single system update, and...)
Oh yes, and when support ends it's practically impossible to use a phone.

I've never understood people talking about "support", still rocking a 7 year old phone (have changed the battery) with fairly recent lineageos. Only really use floss apps though and don't browse weird sites.

I use a computer for serious stuff.

If you really cared about waste you could a) not buy a phone with limited support if for some mystical reason you care for that or b) find ways to use the phone without support.
You make an unwarranted logical leap, there. Some laws of physics are computable given sufficient simplifying constraints. It does not follow that a large enough computer therefore can simulate the Universe.
Could Barbie have been made (and had the marketing muscle put behind it) anywhere else but America though? Would Givenchy have grown to the brand that it is in a France that wasn't democratic? You can say or even think you don't like America, but what does that really mean when you seek out things that have thrived because of it?
I suppose it could in theory, but it probably wouldn't do so very well. In general, you can't simulate physics on physics faster than physics, so non-approximate simulation of the universe would probably run several orders of magnitude slower than the universe does. You would have to approximate massively, but that means a lot of things that are physically possible in the universe would become impossible in the simulation, especially systems that require a lot of precision and optimal behavior such as computers. Honestly, even if you simplified everything to the max except for conscious agents in the simulation, it's not even clear to me that we could simulate human brains faster than actual human brains.

I wonder if maybe it’s not so deep. These days, Python is the 2nd best choice for just about anything, making it a sensible decision for just a about everything.
As their code is running in ring0, from experience I know that Nvidia has a lot more fun tricks they can use, but are probably holding back for now. Ditto for the Linux developers.

This stupid DRM crap helps no one and only fuels more cat-and-mouse games that waste everyone's time.

"Get along, kids."
what are you talking about, if this is a violation you'd see it in courts but it's not because there's no case
Conveniently, you don't need to simulate the entire universe, just a single human's experience of it. That cuts computing costs tremendously.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to observe it, do you need to simulate it down to the quantum level? Or do you just do coarse-grained simulation, with fine-grained steps reserved to where it causes observable differences? If later somebody comes around to observe the fallen tree in too much detail you can always just simulate that part in more detail, and hide the difference behind what we call "inherent randomness at the quantum level".

There are no existing viable carbon capture technologies that can help deal with the scale of global carbon emission. It's a cool idea, and maybe one day might be able to contribute to resolving GHGs. MIGHT be able to. We don't know if such technology will ever be feasible at scale.
I wonder where the DOJ is looking. MS barely avoided breakup for just bundling IE with Windows in the 90s.
I'm a windows user so I put files I want to store long term on onedrive. If it's a really important file (old photos), I have an external hard drive for backups as well.

Files that I don't care about losing someday remain local on my PC and those get messy. Most things end up in my downloads folder and I delete them every couple months.

Every couple years I'll get a new laptop and my strategy is to move over nothing. No settings, no files, no wallpapers. Just start over from scratch
People use comments as a substitute for reading the article, that means whatever ideological thread is dominating the comments is also defacto going to be the mass interpretation of events. "Winning" a comment section can have relative major ideological concerns as it makes a whole community start framing events around them with certain sets of priors
> "Russian soul" is secretly adoring and mimicking the West

Pretty sure it's not secret at all. St Petersburg founded in the 1700s (and then made the capital of Tsarist Russia) was literally an attempt to westernize Russia.

I think the "Russian soul" is more of an inner conflict between the desire to live a Western life while under the heavy influence of non-Western traditions and culture
Based on what I’m seeing from computer usage by my relatives, they wouldn’t care less if they can do these things: 1) Browse the web 2) read pdfs and docx 3) use a word processor (and maybe a spreadsheet 4) play medias like music and videos.

A lot of people are ok using their phone as their primary device. And a chromebook and access to google suite would fill the rest of their needs. I’d install linux mint and they’d only notice the interface is different.
Because it's upper limit is the best human created content. It doesn't create anything out of thin air. Just "emitting" things mixed from its training set.

Also, a machine cannot create equally complex or more complex than itself, so AI is always capped at human capacity, at most, asymptotically.

It can be faster. It can batch process, but it can't process "like a human".
Really bad HN title "Same Energy Density at Half the Weight". That is nonsensical; "density" should be elided in the title. The actual goal is to double the energy density so that the battery can provide the same energy at half the weight.

"Simply, the energy density would be doubled. So same energy, same volume base, kind of half [the weight]," Aoyama said.
But they aren't destroying the asset in this case. They are just not using the asset. The show is presumably not destroyed. They are just not showing it.

You couldn't put clothing in another wardrobe and claim that as a loss, could you? Could you claim moving all your code to Bitbucket devalued it as Bitbucket is harder to use and fewer devs know how to use it?
I do not see on what grounds you can classify in this case Linux as a victim and NVIDIA as an attacker.

There are many people who want to use on their computers both the Linux kernel and NVIDIA GPUs. NVIDIA maintains their Linux drivers only for the benefit of the NVIDIA GPU owners who desire this, they do not get any direct revenue from this activity.

So at most you might say that Linux is a victim of the GPU owners that want to use Linux, despite the fact that some kernel developers hate the owners of NVIDIA GPUs and try to discourage them to use Linux.

The problem is that Linux does not have a clear license that would enumerate what Linux users are allowed to do, and even if it would have such a list, that would be somewhat ridiculous, because one of the main claimed objectives of the Linux development has always been that its purpose is to remove the restrictions imposed by the commercial operating systems.

If Linux would have a license forbidding the Linux users to use it in weapons of mass destruction, that could be justifiable on moral grounds. On the other hand, a license that would forbid the Linux users to buy NVIDIA GPUs or any other piece of hardware cannot have any justification. While some kernel developers did not attempt to do something so pathetic, they still do not find anything better to do than to find new ways to make the life harder for those Linux users that have good reasons for using something like NVIDIA GPUs or the ZFS file system.

It is normal for the kernel developers to not do anything to contribute to proprietary device drivers, but it is ugly and mean to try to sabotage them by actively preventing them to link to the symbols that must necessarily be used by a device driver in order to accomplish its function.
The way Rust does it may disallow valid patterns, but it is not inherent to the idea
Russians can protest in Russia. Or at least they could, if they weren’t so suddenly averse to “politics”.
Indeed. It's usually those around it that feel it.

> If we want a functional insurance market in these places, we need a student loan type solution - make the Feds the reinsurer and have the insurance company mostly administer the policy.

If the problem is stated that way, I think a lot of Americans are going to realize how little they care about Florida's insurance market.

This is as much speculation as a statement that such a system does exist.

It seems that it's on a collision course with modernity. Which was always inevitable, but seems to be accelerating as of late probably due to the continued integration of markets and capital around the world.

Not sure both the West and Russia (in it's current form) can continue to coexist in an increasingly interconnected world.

And then they wonder why people fall for scams.
I think you're in a different bucket than the OP's product, in that case. A fair price to trial at that stage of development is a lot different than charging $99/mo from the get-go.

From my view, as a solo dev with a lot of small clients and personal projects, I start a lot of projects that make their way into the hands of collaborators but never make it to a project that's ready to finish. I would loathe to pay that kind of price for those.

But if I'm at the point where I have beta testers and other kinds of non-client/dev personnel, I'm a lot more ready to put down significant cash for dev tooling.
This has to be satire
- Folder and file names as short as necessary. File names length, including the path, have a limit of 255 characters, after which they can give you trouble.

- File names that start with dates need to use yyyymmdd format.

- Avoid having too many subfolder branchings.

- Multiple pdf files are sometimes better to be combined into a single document.

- Have a TEMP folder to put all the stuff you are working with and that you will not mind erasing later. You should be confident to empty away this folder every few days without having to revise what's in it.

- Reorganize regularly (housekeeping) to maintain optimum file organization.

- Organize files as if to make it easy to find anything for a person who doesn't know where anything is. That person will be you in a couple of weeks.

Being able to choose which private entities your business materially supports is a natural consequence of freedom. As long as ISPs are private businesses, their operators will and should have basic freedoms. The fact that _people_ are dropping KF left and right is just normal and healthy socialization at work. Lack of competition with American ISPs and whether they should be public utilities are real concerns, but fundamentally has nothing to do with KF being widely regarded as a flaming turd.
Just a reminder that it's only "illicit" in theory, until that has been proven in court. What they're talking about is essentially a DRM within the kernel code that tries to prevent a loadable kernel module from guessing where the kernel data structures are in memory. They know that people are likely to push the envelope, and they're trying to make it as hard as possible as a deterrent. However you could argue that ALL closed-source loadable kernel modules are violating the GPL equally, with or without a "shim", and people have argued that, but we've mostly forgotten about it and use this DRM fiction as a stand-in for legal fiction. Or perhaps the GPL-tagged functions within the kernel count as an "API" in the Google vs Oracle sense and none of this matters.

But you could just as easily try to put yourself in the shoes of the crime victim that doesn’t get justice because the perpetrator is one of the 10 guilty men that go free.
Exactly.

The expression sets up a relationship: more strict and more effective vs less strict and less effective, and asks us how much effectiveness we’re willing to give up in exchange for safety. This just misses the point, a legal system that locks up innocent people instead of guilty ones is just not doing a good job.

I think it is well intended (at least for values of n much greater than 1) but harmful.

My youngest daughter has been on a pump for six years now and she's completely burned out and apathetic about it all. It just all blurs together and her diabetes is not well managed at the moment. My oldest and I had a sort of impromptu intervention with her and she just broke down crying. It's a lot.

The pump she has, a t:slim X2 is better than her Medtronic, but the closed loop aspect (control iq) is impotent and rarely has a noticeable impact. Hopefully this tech will advance on a good pace and products will hit the market with more assertive control algorithms. Obviously there are dangers but we've already accepted that by hooking her up to a pump with enough insulin in it to kill her.

I do agree that "desktop" computing is not going away any time soon. But there is no point denying that PC market is shrinking and the average user is migrating towards smartphones and tablets.
