One tiny little piece to solve the problem of our very possible extinction.

On one hand, this is good since those technologies are in desperate need of funding and scaling on the other hand, make no mistake: They're much too small and will need to improve from stone-age to modern age in just a few decades.

If Iah's view is correct, after the game, there will be at some versions of you who witnessed the Mets winning, some that witnessed the Yankees winning, and some that saw the game end in a tie. (As well as some for which the game was interrupted by aliens landing on the field and some where all the players spontaneously disappeared etc.)

So, subjectively, it'd still feel as if you'd gone to the game without knowing what was going to happen and then exactly one outcome (and not all outcomes) happened. But from a more objective perspective, all outcomes are indeed on an even footing.

> but the loan word in japanese is pronounced "faito" because the language demands that all words end in either a vowel or syllabic 'N'.

By the way, it's worth observing that that is a requirement of the kana writing system, but it's not a requirement of the language. [It also isn't a requirement of the kanji writing system, in which a symbol can indicate any arbitrary sequence of sounds, but that system is difficult to use for purposes of indicating pronunciation.] There are circumstances in which high vowels are entirely deleted, the most prominent example being the ordinary pronunciation of です /desɯ/ with no final vowel at all.

The fact that "fight" gets borrowed as "faito" also looks like an artifact of the spelling system - /o/ is not a high vowel and can't be deleted, but in native Japanese there is no tu syllable - that space in the syllabary is occupied by the affricated tsu, so loanwords that originally ended in /t/ or /d/ are given the final vowel /o/ instead. Illiterate Japanese might or might not interpret the English sound of "fight" the same way.
Strange that people are so strongly opposed to accurate facts.
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
I believe this is kind of thing is highly subjective as well as dependent on hardware. Point in case fullscreening anything but an IDE or graphics editor on a 27"+ monitor drives me crazy because most things don't make good use of the extra space. Similarly I find tiled smaller windows irritating because they often size themselves incorrectly, ironically making for more manual window twiddling and micromanagement than I'd be doing with a boring old floating window manager.

> So we could agree that the methane is irrelevant because it would be emitted anyway by the rotting grass.

Natural forests and grasslands don't decay in a manner that emit a lot of methane. Cows on the other hand emit a lot of methane, due to how they digest their food.

> And we could also agree that clearing forests is a different thing than farming meat, which we could separately campaign against and prevent.

The data is about where current emissions come from. It is not directly suggesting any policy prescriptions, or directly stating what emissions will be under alternate food choices.

Yes, clearing forests is different from farming meat. But the best place to plant new trees in sustainable manner, in order to capture some of excess CO2 human activity causes, is where forests grew a few decades or centuries ago. Many of these places are currently occupied by cattle ranches or farms that grow food for cattle. One reasonable policy prescription would be to reduce beef demand/supply, and then incentivize tree plantation in those areas.

Genuine question.
And your point is?

Diamonds are a cartel backed, price gouged, selectively distributed, commodity whose only production cost is digging them out of the ground.

On top of that they are pretty much the most common gemstone.

The cartel I mentioned earlier has also had a heavy handed approach towards the producers of artificial diamond.

All of this is a long winded way of saying “what is your point?” Diamonds and Common earth element man made magnets have absolutely nothing in common.
Also it’s more than just planting, they need careful tending for the first few years, whether fertilizing or fighting aphids or disease, I don’t want to just volunteer to plant trees in some far away place nobody tends to, lots of those “plant a million trees” programs become “maybe a hundred thousand survived” stories, especially if care is not taken to use an appropriate tree for the conditions it is planted.

Anyway I’d just like to know what you think about “gorilla growing” because very few people own more than an acre, and, especially where I live, people are very hostile about trespassing, it could get you killed

The pizza shown as 'Chicago Tavern' style looks and is described exactly like what we had my in Midwestern city as a kid, and was called <my city> style locally.

Later, I found out they also call it Cincinnati style, I guess in Cincinnati?

Whatever the case may be, I highly recommend it if you come across it. Don't have anything like it in the southwest, and I find myself craving it randomly a few times a year.
I mean you still have to comment on issues, and even within the code itself you need to name things in ways that make sense to others.

It's not that English specifically is required to do this, but if the organization is American it does seem like English would be the default and proficiency would be pretty important.

Indeed! According to Hannah Ritchie:

- The world has enough lithium for our electric vehicles, decades into the future.

- The world is currently not producing enough of it to keep up with demand. This could be a major bottleneck this decade.

Sure .. alongside Scots, Russians, South Africans, Australians, Norwegians, and all the other non US mining engineers.

The Canadian TSX is the global centre for listed public mining, Anglo-Australian mining companies dominate there.

No one is going to deny the Colorado School of mines their little corner of the pie but they haven't hit "much of" in a clear majority sense by a long shot.
The thing that shocked me about NYC on my first trip there was how every little stereotype and preconception I had about it was spot-on accurate. The cabbies, tourists, rats, people (and their attitude) and of course the pizza! For some reason I thought it was all just TV and movies embelshing details lazily.

The $0.99 Pizza slices are better than pizza I have had almost anywhere else, with one exception being another hell's kitchen spot that served Neapolitan pizza (Naples style pizza) which tasted different and better than any other, I can't describe it other than to say all the flavours and textures were "more" and tasted less manufactured and more home cooked.

I don't think you understand how this works. Sun already gave all their power away via the CDDL.

We're currently in a legally-stable state, and have been for over a decade now (nearly two). If they could have done something, they would have.

The fact is that so long as nobody tries to merge ZFS code into the mainline kernel, there's nothing they can do. Everybody knows this, everybody agrees that would be a dumb idea, and everybody has agreed not to do it.
This shook me:

In 1990, Marc Porat convinced then-Apple-CEO John Sculley that the future of computing lay not in desktop personal computers, but much smaller portable devices combining computing power, communications systems, and data located on network-accessible servers.[1] He noted that portable computers would always have less power than the machines they would connect to, and suggested that this be part of the design - instead of trying to build a portable computer that could perform the tasks of a desktop system, the portable device should invisibly use the computational power of the servers to produce a similar result.
It's too bad that displays designed for 2x UI scaling are so rare outside of Apple stuff. Even on Windows which is probably the OS with the best fractional UI scaling, 2x looks visibly better.
You don't know anything about this kid. You definitely don't know that what they need in their life is discouragement. Don't conflate their childhood with yours.

If a 15 year old wanted to show me a project, and I wanted to help them understand what would improve it, I'd ask them questions and engage them in a Socratic process to lead them that direction.

I wouldn't tell them that their work was trash. That would either discourage them from doing more projects, showing their projects to me, or both.
Ask HN: Offline, battery powered camera that can continuously record
I’m looking for an outdoor, battery-powered camera that can record continuously for at least 48 hours, and that writes to a local SD card. The plan is to check the camera, pull footage and swap batteries every 24 hours for a few weeks. Does such a thing exist?

(Solar-powered rechargeable batteries would be acceptable, but makes installation more complicated, and I need to buy 5-10 of these.)

Everything I can find wants to connect to a cell network or is motion triggered (there are plenty of trail cameras in the << $100 range with those restrictions).

Time lapse with a <= 1 second interval would be fine.
Also it is likely that, because of environmental regulations, it is not possible to mine the lithium economically. I haven't kept up, but the lack of lithium production in the US suggests that there are regulatory factors at play.

Although apparently Australia is a big lithium producer so it must be possible to do in an environmentally conscious way. Or Australia's lithium mines have managed to fly under the radar of the environmentalists. It looks like Australia's lithium deposits are unusual being hard rock deposits, and we have it processed in China because I assume that part of the process is illegal in Australia.
Great research thanks
The SFC can get stuffed. Their argument says nothing in particular about ZFS and is essentially "the kernel is GPL and therefore ALL modules MUST BE GPL.

Their stance isn't just rejected by nvidia and company, but also by the kernel devs most notably torvalds himself. Their argument boils down to "if ONLY it were statically linked everyone would say it's derived" combined with "there's no difference between static and dynamic linking."

They completely ignore the inconvenient fact that being statically linked would imply being pasted into the kernel tree, and the real reason people would say it's derived at that point is because you'd expect the ZFS code to be deeply connected with linux's guts if that were the case. Which it isn't, and it isn't. Over in reality courts look at how code came to be and where it came from, a more reasonable definition of "derived." For one thing it means I can't come up with a GPL module that statically links against a pre-existing bit of other software and then try to claim the software should be GPL. (remember, OpenZFS' fork long predates ZFS' compatibility with linux)

Being a derived work shouldn't imply time travel, i.e. at the very minimum shouldn't violate causality.

Torvalds himself has personally refuted the "(dynamic) linking inescapably means you're derived" point on multiple occasions, and yet here the SFC is, continuing to wave it around because that's how they wish it worked.

Their article is very plainly a "extend the GPL's reach" political move attempting to move the goalposts the kernel community set up wrt proprietary modules, while using the muddy waters around ZFS as cover. Their arguments could equally be applied to the nvidia kernel module and yet would instantly be rejected as extreeme if they attempted to use nvidia's module as their subject.
When you feel pressure to get things done, committing 6 hours to just walking seems like a crazily inefficient use of time if all you want is exercise. Very interesting though.

With classical music particularly, that in a way is almost more important. The thing about quality is it is subjective and people's tastes are different in so many different parameters and interpretive choices that its useful to have different versions of the same piece as far wide as you can provision.

There are some pieces the artist departs from the letter of the page while still capturing the spirit or vice versa (useful for technically analysing the piece) or by eschewing both and radically reinterpreting the music to the extent its practically a different piece. Quality will never capture the sheer range of artistic and interpretive beauty inherent to any given piece or available through good old stochastic performance.
They heat rocks. What’s the barrier to scale other than cash?

Yeah, I think I may have got the second installation working via the sudo dpkg route, but I'm not sure. I know I definitely tried it as part of troubleshooting the issue. If that is what I did to eventually get Discord working again, then it's strange that I now have two installations, because the download of the .deb file is what the Discord client wanted me to do in the first place.

That being said, I probably initially installed it via Snap--but then, shouldn't it have auto-updated? Yet the Snap store version is still stuck on v 0.28, and the Discord client is what insisted I download the .deb for 0.29. :shrug:

I do not think either of the above routes is too onerous or complicated, but I think the situation is made more complicated by the multiple options. If I am understanding things correctly, APT is a third option in addition to Snap and downloading .deb directly--actually, there is a fourth, which is a variety of things we can lump together under "execute an an installation script"

> This is a problem created by multiple governments over various parties

Why blame "government" and not capitalism? Canadian Gosplan didn't conspire to set housing prices at insane and rising levels. It was the market mechanism doing its own thing.
The relevant question isn't "are they doing it at this exact moment" though, it's "have they ever done this since DLSS2 launched". And GN specifically did ask them that, deliberately and repeatedly.

as GN said when they broke the story, the sensible PR move for AMD here is to quickly change the contracts and then go "there's nothing stopping devs!" and hope that nobody realizes the ink is still wet on the contracts.

Since they announced that, jedi survivor has suddenly announced DLSS support in an upcoming patch too. Wow, what a coincidence.

Again, this is a case of AMD already getting a ton of benefit of the doubt that wouldn't be awarded to any other megacorp here. If the tables were turned here, I doubt we would be equivocating about whether NVIDIA GPP really might have some benign goals and intentions, people would call a spade a spade and be done with it. Intel didn't get any benefit of the doubt on chipsets, people made a reasonable assertion they were doing it to sell more chipsets and that was the end of the dicussion for most people. But with AMD you have to exhaustively rule out any alternative possibilities and engage in lengthy discourse to disprove alternative "AMD is my friend" theories. Maybe they couldn't do X370 and X470 chipset support because, umm....

The chart looks pretty damning - really only sony seemed to get out of the provision. And now all of a sudden they come out with a statement after weeks and weeks of dramatic radio-silence (which of course NVIDIA did not do) that they "don't limit devs" (which wasn't the question) and suddenly studios are announcing they put it into games. Yeah, sounds like they dropped a new contract and took the terms out, and hope they can shout down anyone pointing out the implicit "anymore" in their statement.

To be clear: I'm not bashing Excel. Agree that there isn't a viable alternative for explorative table manipulation, and the experience of "think/change/see-results" is second to none. I myself use it for low-stakes tasks such as personal budgeting and quick analysis to validate my assumptions on tabular data.

Key word there is low-stakes. I think Excel gets a lot of heat because it's often found used in contexts where it's wholly inappropriate to use (eg driving critical production decisions from SalesAnalysis_JimVersion_v1.8_FINAL.xlsx). That's not really Excel's fault.
