I'm amazed anyone wants this. Phones being solid state is part of the appeal. They're incredibly rugged in a case.

A phone costs several times more than everything else I regularly carry around combined, and yet we're all perfectly comfortable because they're marvels of engineering (And also GPS tracked).

Biological neural nets have a benefit of being able to run massively parallel, I know basically nothing about silicon hardware, but I’m assuming that attempts to model hugely parallel systems like a brain on a serial architecture is going to be magnitudes more inefficient.

I do remember years ago reading an a response to a question someone asked about why can’t we just build chips that run in parallel and there’s the constraint of printing on a 2D surface that limits how far you can take that idea.
I think that's how it often starts, but if you argue something often enough you'll find yourself starting to believe it.
This is correct and normal, your aerobic base needs to increase to a decent level, before you can undertake regular exercise and reap its benefits. And it is a painful process, but not a very long one. Six months is perhaps unusual, but it probably depends on your overall health. When I transitioned from being sedentary to daily jogging, I quickly quadroupled the duration I could run uninterrupted in only 4 weeks (from 5 min to 20+ min).
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKAROS

I gave a presentation that mentioned that (and other things) in connection with solar geoengineering because that was the most advanced solar sail spacecraft to date and a sunshade is a lot like a solar sails although the least mass sunshade is actually heavier per square meter than an efficient solar sail since it hangs closer to the Earth and doesn’t have to be so big, The coolest thing about IKAROS is that it can steer without any moving parts or at least it could if it had enough LCD panels.
Seems like the main takeaway for the rest of us is these builds were already absurdly fast and they made them faster. They say “a few seconds” was 13% of the median build time. My C++ builds are significantly slower than 8x a few seconds.
> You're not going to find someone screwing together ikea like boxes in America.

That's actually quite literally what my cabinetmaker did for my most recent home. Ikea cabinets cut down to size in his shop, and installed when ready/all the parts got in. Other brands seemed pretty identical to this - largely premade parts with a few sections designed to cut down to size.

Didn't seem to take much more than a measuring tape and a couple different saws to me. I'm sure I'm being flippant, but it was eye opening seeing that process vs. watching my grandparents build a second home growing up.

Part of the reason wages have not kept up is also due to the work becoming less skilled. The middle has been more or less completely hollowed out as far as I can tell. The types of job my grandfathers both would have set the dinner table with in their respective trades simply no longer exist. You either need to go mass-market low-end and seemingly as low quality as gets you a check in the mail, or high-end luxury market and all the spit'n'polish that entails.

I'd love to be wrong - but trying to simply find those craftsmen in the "middle" to hire is more or less impossible for me.
The truly hard part is raising them to be decent human beings. There is more to procreation than fertilization and carrying to term.

While an artificial womb could be very useful as a medical device to save the life of the child, in vitro/ex vivo methods of reproduction only entrench human alienation. Support for them bespeaks an absence of a sound philosophical anthropology. And I mean not just the alienation of the children, but the alienation of men and women from their own humanity as well. And this is because it attacks the very core of what it means to be human.

But as they say, experience is an expensive school, but fools will learn in no other. Often, nothing short of catastrophe is needed to lead men to pause and reflection, and even then, there are no guarantees.
I was sort of frustrated that while the source exists for 2.11 now, it doesn't quite build right out of the box into a free-standing disc image-- I think it was missing some data needed to build either MSDOS.SYS or IO.SYS. Once you have all the files, you still need a chicken and egg process to get to a bootable disc, not just a 360k image you can write to a floppy.
> "Says who? The only "requirement of capitalism" is that individuals are allowed to have ownership rights."

This was extremely powerful @legitster. For some reason this cleared up economic theory to me. These threads get lost in worker rights, but, that has nothing to do with capital. Capital is about ownership rights. You should be allowed to own things and means to your own production. Socialism is about taking these rights away, the debate is which.

Yes, later than both Smith and Marx. Marginalism didn't go mainstream until the 1890s, though the necessary pieces were there waiting to be assembled from about 1870.

Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment is about mastering the Chinese language.
There are two issues I have with it as it was originally presented:

1. Mastering a language is not the same as having consciousness.

2. Who "knows Chinese" in the Chinese Room thought experiment? I would say neither Searle nor Searle in/as part of the Chinese Room "speak" Chinese. But it is
fair to say that the book that the fictional Searle follows can be
seen as a model of the Chinese language; or at least the combination of
the book and Searle as its "processor" collectively are an implemented
operational model of the Chinese language. And a model of Chinese is
NOT the same as being skilled at conversing in Chinese (executing the
model in a particular way). Other posters here have drawn analogies from
music evoking certain subjective emotions, and again a semantic network
that has concept nodes labelled with the names of these emotions is not
the same as experiencing these emotions, although the semantic network
can be said to constitute a model of sorts of the music's effects. But
again, model(x) != qualia(x).

There is a fine line between a hobby and a mental illness.

I mention that to people more often than most would think.
it seems that way, but all you say goes through a complex filter built during a lifetime: experience, memories, desires, fears. most of this is subconscious, but it's still part of your conscience.
not to mention that talking at a pub after a few pints is different from talking in a meeting where you have to filter every word to obtain the effect you want.
It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. If the living space is architected the way it is, people will gravitate towards the most convenient method to access it (cars). If you prioritize re-architecting you will find it difficult to move people already invested in the depreciating asset which is their vehicle, out of it. At the same time they won't move out of their car until the other transportation options are, if not equally, at least somewhat close to convenient. So basically you need to tug a little on both sides, have fewer people using cars, then it's easier to make changes that affect those cars in favor of greener transport architecture, cycle and repeat.

Wonderful. I love the advent of open source LLMs, and love the turnkey nature of this product.

What sold me on ChatGPT was its efficacy combined with its ease of use. As the owner of a consultancy, I find time to do technical exploration to be more and more scarce - stuff like this that makes it super easy for me to run an LLM is most welcome.

If you don't understand why preventing someone from speaking is different than, for example, making your own argument, I have no idea how I would convince you.

Maybe: The ideas that many of these hecklers now hold so dear was, until relatively recently, anathema to large groups of people. If your view was dominant, would we have ever heard from MLK, Harvey Milk, voices in favor of abolishing sodomy laws, pro-choice speakers in anti-abortion regions, etc., etc.

If only there was some sort of organization, beholden to the people by democratic election, which was obligated to protect and provide what does not particularly align well with a profit-driven model (military, roads and public transportation, fire & police services, sewer and water systems, GPS and weather reporting), to provide this other thing that does not align particularly well with a profit-driven model... hmm...

everywhere it's been done universally and not under/defunded for electoral reasons, the combined economy of scale/standardization, removal of $100Bn+ middleman industries and cheap proactive preventative care saving on expensive emergency treatments more than completely negate the "people going to the doctor for funsies" cost
That's most likely a misleading statement of the coefficient of performance... 3-4 kW of heat delivered into the conditioned space with 1 kW of electricity from the grid (or wherever) is pretty reasonable for a heatpump, given appropriate conditions.

The downside is probably cost of manufacturing. Ben & Jerry's prototyped thermoacoustic cooling in 2004 [1], but now their "Cleaner Greener Freezers" are refrigerant based, although they're using a hydrocarbon refrigerant rather than a traditional hydrofluorocarbon. I'm not sure which specific refrigerant they're using, but based on the timing, it might be R441a, which was the first hydrocarbon refrigerant approved for sale in the US and is a mixture of ethane, propane, butane and isobutane.

Thanks for sharing this, I’ll need to explore this a little more.
Trade and money existed long before capitalism. Capitalism is not trade and never was. Trade will always exist regardless of the economic system.

>law of the fittest

Fittest? Capitalism rewards who already has capital. Monopolies inhibit competition, stifles innovation, and effectively nullifies the "fittest" argument. Still, that's the ultimate dream of every capitalist.

This rhetoric is a result of propaganda funded by the very capitalists that need to justify their atrocities.

What really baffles me is that these arguments are, today, almost exclusively made by those that are not capitalists. They defend their overlords with more faith and fervor than most church goers. When in reality most are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy, but still think they might become a billionaire.

Tell HN: Apple Studio Display firmware bricks itself, no fix after 1.5 months
On July 26th, my Apple Studio Display spontaneously bricked itself. Though the repair shop it's with has been diligent in swapping out components and corresponding with me, we've made almost no progress. It's still not repaired, and a timeline for a fix isn't available.

So far a lot of components have been replaced, and the last one they're trying is the LCD panel itself. This isn't in stock, so we've been told to wait 2 weeks for a notice of shipment, and if we hear nothing, to "try again". This is after 42 days of waiting.

I'm putting this here in case anyone else is considering getting one. If anything happens to it, good luck getting it repaired. And you might take excellent care of yours like I did, yet evidently it might be bricked while you're in another room for totally unknown reasons. It went black, as though it went to sleep, but never came back.

I know people ask about these displays here, so it seems worth talking about. This level of customer service and the extreme inconvenience to the customer isn't something worth risking. I depended on it for important visual and programming work, as well as video calls and audio. I've since had to replace these features with other devices, and I'm not about to get my money back or my display. It's totally bizarre and unacceptable.

I'm not trying to drag Apple here; I still use the Mac Studio and absolutely love it. My experience with the display on the other hand is so abysmal and disappointing that I can't in good conscience carry on without warning people.
>Besides, do you really think someone in this situation can just get a real ISP?

Yes, I know at least 2 such people who chose to have a wireless ISP despite having a wired option available and affordable. One of them is even slightly technical. They usually don't run into the limits, but when they do it might be the right time to give them a nudge to get a real ISP. I was hoping that'd be the case here.
That kind of rhetorical mental gymnastics is quite often what happens when we debate people that have a vested interested against a commonly held and supportable belief. The problem I see is that skepticism and contrarianism are commonly conflated with educated, informed criticism by people even well educated and informed in a topic area, but now we have to debate things as fundamental to many other things holding up like the concept of gravity. The implications of a flat earth, for example, are incredibly outrageous and when people want to go to any length to explain away their tightly held and emotionally motivated position it’s not going to turn out to be a very productive conversation whatever topic may be at hand anyway.

Most forms of decently productive discourse tend to involve multiple parties going back and forth with observations and some criticism that’s not taken personally at least so some semblance of an agreed, cogent world is formed from the discussion. This really doesn’t work if people don’t have some very basic fundamentals agreed upon sometimes, especially if they are relevant to the topic. Like it doesn’t matter if someone’s a creationist on an accounting application development team but it probably matters a lot as a policymaker for public sector.
Yes, but you don't plan your network based on actual capacity usage, you plan for a fully loaded network that can serve 100% of dwellings passed along with some spare capacity to serve additional buildings over the expected lifespan of the network (30+ years if you're building an expensive incumbent network, 5-10 years if you're trying to minimize cost). Anything else means you could end up turning customers (revenue) away.
Yeah, why do companies even hire security people who allow security problems to exist? Or coders who write bugs?

At the very least that sounds like “more effectively organized” to me.

It’s interesting that the Napoleonic wars include a similar running theme, but with the shoe on the other foot: fast-moving, aggressive French organized into independent corps vs staid, conservative Austrians and Prussians.

Etymologically I would say it fits. "Smith" means a metalworker, note the relation to smite, which one does a lot in blacksmithing, and "black" refers to the black oxide forge scale the results from repeated heating of the iron and steel (vs other metal workers, e.g. silversmith or goldsmith).

So give they are using more or less the same methods of a blacksmith of yore and the etymology works, they would seem to be a blacksmith to me.
Of course I did, in no point he suggests that planning is useless.
Excel is such an interesting case because people don’t really understand how it is related to “writing software” and there are so many gaps such as:

* pounding out something in Excel vs, writing something correct. (There was that time I had gotten back to Ithaca and gave the same talk I’d just given in NYC and somebody pointed out I’d screwed up a graph because I made a common mistake people make with Excel. I can laugh about it but the person who made a $100M bad trade because of Excel has less to laugh about.)

* tools for making enterprise software with the convenience, accessibility and reactivity of Excel

* all these gawdawful “reactive” javascript frameworks that seem uninformed by the reactivity of Excel, workflow engines, etc.

It just seems to me there is a “no code” revolution hiding in plain site that is obscured by “this is a spreadsheet” and “this is a programming language” which is is hard to breach as the “can’t you tell that a phone is a phone and a computer is a computer, silly?” mindset that is so widespread today.

> Because we don't don't have any memory of what it was like to be in these states.

I want to add an anecdote from about 5 years ago when I fainted: there is a tiny moment as I was regaining consciousness that I had an experience that is unlike anything I’d ever experienced before (and words really fail to describe it) there was no sense of time, or even presence- it was like pure observation. It wasn’t the blackness nothingness that I think is associated with being unconscious, instead it was the opposite- it felt like hundreds of images, sounds and thoughts all layered on top of each other- it was very ‘noisy’. That might sound stressful, but I don’t remember feeling anything at all.

It was only when some of that noise faded away that I experienced a sense of ‘self’ again and a moment later I formed the idea where am I? And then I opened my eyes and everything was back to typical conscious experience (although feeling a little disoriented).
I used to do it that way. But then I got narrow studded tires. They cut through the snow down to the surface and then grip it if it's icy.

Admittedly not the cheapest type of tire around. Last I checked a good brand name was going for $175 new. I found a "used once" set on eBay for a lot less.

Custom router bits do exist for the track groove profiles, which suggests that SOME folks are doing it. I've always wanted to create some custom pieces--my siblings and I growing up played with Brio far later than the expected ages, as we were all railway nerds, and frequently mis-used the degrees of freedom of track components for wildly more complicated layouts spanning rooms.

Nowadays one of my nephews ended up with lots of generic track (gifts from uncle: me) and some very specialized custom switches cast out of resin by his maternal grandfather. There are multiple ways to solve the problem!
