The crypto wave initially got me excited that P2P technology might catch on again, but nobody really ended up caring about the decentration part of it.

We're overdue for a resurgence of punk rock style DIY tech culture IMO. The distrust and distain for the big technology companies is already there among young people.

That explains why ARM mainline Linux is more of a mess than other platforms, but it doesn't explain why ARM SoC vendors are seemingly entirely uninterested in doing things the right way. They could develop in a mainline-compatible way and work to upstream their changes so their platforms could be supported properly ~forever but they instead seem to go out of their way to do the opposite despite constant pressure to fix their garbage.
That’s for sure why it was discontinued. I’m sad it’s gone, but I do understand I’m a minority in that feeling.

I was just offering it as a counter point (from as recent as last year) to the onscreen keyboards necessitating huge phones that the comment I replied to was suggesting. Plus an option that is still modern enough to use. Using the mini keyboard isn’t much worse than the pro. It’s feasible, these minis type well, I don’t think it’s the reason for bigger, thinner phones with cameras popping out. I’d blame content more.
As a European, I always thought that using Instagram for IM is something that only Americans do...
It's not only Canada that uses immigration - legal or turning a blind eye to illegal - to make up for falling birthrate.

Look at Germany. Look at France. Look at what's happen to Japan because such an option isn't as viable.

It's simply not politically feasable to say, "Without immigrants, our economy is f'ed."

It's some of the effect, but absolutely not all. You said it's pure selection bias, no more, no less... That was your point.

What an absolutely lazy assessment of technology. I’d say using those two appendages we call legs to move around while still being able to do many things you use a desktop computer for is a revolutionary piece of technology.

Do you really want to carry a Walkman around along with a backpack with a Rand McNally map to guide you so you don’t get lost in a neighborhood you’ve never visited? Maybe watch a portable DVD player on your way to/from work on the subway to pass the time? Carry some quarters so you can call someone at a pay phone or pay for a parking spot?
On a per-capita basis that's not hugely different, but one of the reasons may be that Canada provides a somewhat easier path, relative to the United States, to becoming a legal immigrant rather than remaining undocumented.
Mutations trend towards stable states. Stable states further trend towards states where fast mutation becomes disabled because it's in a "good" stable zone.

Symbiosis is the ultimate stable state.

You can get stable states in intermediate zones like hiv infections, but these zones are not as good as symbiosis. They have potential to kill off a weak population, additionally humans are actively combatting the virus. In symbiosis there's no negative for either side.

There is no evolutionary pressure to "mutate" in symbiosis. Mutations will occur in the beginning. Those will die off fast and eventually the strain will become more and more stable as the gene starts mutating towards a configuration that has slow mutations.
That's arguably because those languages are not modern. Nobody would design a modern language today that uses UTF-16 (unless they really need compatibility with Java or JavaScript).

Go also uses UTF-8 btw.

I think you're being needlessly pedantic (I know it's unusual for HN).
From a certain formalist perspective, yes, a matrix of pixels is a matrix of pixels. I can't help but think eventually we will come to value verifiable human provenance for photography. Human artworks already exude a sort of "aura" in the Benjaminian sense. Or - perhaps 'prompt artistry' will be enough to convey this ineffable human emotional spirit.

Yes, sometimes it takes time, like in Japan the birth control pill ..

So many people (at least in the USA, but likely everyone) are so bound to an identity that includes X but explicitly excludes Y.

Worse yet those identities changed in their root definition, so that if you were some identity 20y ago, that now means something different.

For example, if you were a 2nd wave feminist, you're likely assumed to hate transgender people.
I’m neither abnormal, maladjusted, or insane, and behaving politely towards children in such a circumstance is basic decency.

Your assumptions certainly appear to demonstrate the inappropriate views many have towards those of us who do not particularly value their company.
> Saying "capitalism is the best system ever" is like saying there are no black swans. Saying capitalism is "good" merely requires the existence of a large number of white swans, or at best more white swans than black swans.

I don’t follow the logic here.

You should come into this knowing that you have a bias towards favoring capitalism, as you are not only living within that system but very likely benefiting heavily from it. You should also come into this knowing that you have a very limited scope to weigh alternatives, as you don’t have much real world data, and all historical data is heavily tainted with both your biases, as well as the filtered through lenses of your current system.

Imagine your self to be an astrophysicist, this is akin trying to compare our sun to a star that is on the other side of the galaxy directly behind the sun, without having many instruments or even a telescope to observe the latter. Whenever you try to look at that star, 99.9999% of all the light you see is coming from our sun, not that star, and you have to account for that when comparing them.

Saying that capitalism is good and backing it up with a few stories, also ignores all the stories which demonstrates that capitalism is bad. For every story of your penicillin—which isn’t even that clear cut, but let’s ignore that—there are stories like the Bhopal disaster, the climate disaster, of wage theft, of poverty and exploitation, of people dying of preventable and curable diseases, etc. Those are the black swans in the system, and they are all over the place. People arguing that capitalism is good are choosing to ignore these stories, and focus on the penicillin.

Saying that “capitalism is good” based on observing white swans, should follow with “capitalism is bad” based on observing the black swans. A scientist like Sabine Hossenfelder should know better.

They experimented, and they discovered what happens if you try to claim land that isn't yours. They also discovered what happens in a libertarian world when someone stronger than you wants your stuff.
You want to think it's "taken as gospel", maybe because you have an ax to grind, but the reality is the scientific consensus on most topics is taken as "better than anything else I have access to, or any bullshit I'll make up in my own head". And when it comes time to make a personal decision - do I take the pill or not take the pill - we all have to use the best information we have, which almost all of the time will be the scientific consensus.

Though I'll agree there is a phenomenon that occurs when a vocal group starts criticizing a scientific consensus, usually for obvious political reasons, that causes many people to double-down and express too much rigid faith in that consensus. I don't like that either.

You weren't kidding about it being small, though—in hindsight the 320 x 480 screen resolution was a bit rough.
That is a good question. I couldn't find a citation for the original comment, but my guess would be either that they want an unbiased cohort OR, since its a bacterial treatment, they wouldn't want to risk the spread and possibly contaminating children after the trial was done.
> No. This is well proven. 1) it is exponentially easier to generate bullshit than to refute it

If it's well proven then you can easily link to a rigorous proof of that claim, one that justifies the use of mathematical terminology like "exponentially easier". Yes?

I think it's not actually proven and cannot be proven because you don't have a precise definition of bullshit to begin with, let alone a reliable means of identifying it, nor any way to measure how "easy" it is to create rather than refute.

Therefore any claim that it is exponentially easier, must itself be misinformation. Which means that under your own policy you would be "shut down", whatever that means. See how sharp the sword is that you wish to wield here?
Lots of wasted energy using an entire bulky engine and all of the friction, lubrication, and electronics and sensor requirements (anything newer than 1985 is unsuitable) of it as a "generator". Taking the alternator out and converting it to hydroelectric or wind power is completely doable. That's all you need as the basis for generation. You don't need an entire car.

One nice thing about alternators is they are constant voltage sources 14.4V DC over a wide range of RPM inputs after rectification by the trio from 3 phase AC and cleaned up with the VRM. This should be connected to a car battery with very short, very big leads because the voltage is low but the current is high (like a starter). From there, also use short/large leads to either use DC power directly or use a high efficiency inverter (smaller ones are cheap and ubiquitous). Congrats, that's your budget OTG setup.

The current rating of the windings, VRM, and of the trio will determine maximum current output. Typically, 2-10 HP will max out an alternator with a rating in the range of 40-200A (560 - 2kW). This is another reason why using a whole automotive engine is pointless: because it's oversized by 2 orders of magnitude.

The most difficult thing about powering an alternator non automotive use is increasing the gear enough and mounting it somewhere secure enough to put enough tension on the belt. Rarely will you ever direct drive an alternator.

Hydroelectric power with a high head, even with a relatively small stream, contains an enormous amount of potential energy. A Pelton wheel in direct drive maybe possible, but it would probably need slight gear reduction (smaller pulley than the alternator's under high tension with quality bearings on both) for maximum efficiency because the wheel would could be spinning 8k+ RPM.

https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/microhydropower-systems

You can remove the VRM and get ~28VDC but it's going to be ugly and un-regulated. A battery of some sort is required to energize the field coil or no power will be generated.

Meditations isn't good, and the advice that people should read it before reading Discourses (Epictetus) is often what creates a misleading view on stoicism as they never get to Discourses because of the larger time commitment. However it's this time commitment and patience that is at the core of stoicism.

If you read Discourses, you would recognize your error in believing that a man can be free in jail, for he does not have the ability to choose where or how to exist, those are both limited directly by the existence of the jail. He can tolerate it, but not be free, as a stoic would tolerate a broken arm rather than claiming the broken arm makes them stronger.
This is very dependent on the illness.

From a cost perspective it’s best that people die suddenly. If I live a fairly healthy life into my 80s and die of a heart attack, I might not necessarily have cost my insurer that much, as opposed to if I suffer from a chronic illness for 10, 20, 30 years.

Cancer is now usually not a sudden death sentence - treatment is good enough now that most cancers caught early can be treated and patients often go through multiple remissions before it or a complication from treatment finally gets them.

Insurers very much do not want their customers getting cancer, because it is invariable an extraordinarily expensive condition to treat and treatment can go on for years.

Microsoft added a setting in Windows 10 to switch the code page over to utf-8 and then in Windows 11 they made it on by default. Individual applications can turn it on for themselves, so they don't need to rely on the system setting being checked.

I haven't tried it yet but with that you can just use the -A variants of the winapi with utf-8 strings. No conversion necessary.

Your “plastic band” argument- indeed, most of your arguments on this- fails to acknowledge the pleasant reality of the ipad pro’s.

My 2020 ipad pro 11” does not have that unsightly plastic band, nor the iphone 15 pro.

As far as aesthetic elements, these enclosures appear essentially as metal and glass, an appearance not markedly different than existing macbook appearances.

Even the iphone mini 13 manages to fit effective cellular arrays in its compact form sans the big plastic bands on those ipads you mention. And despite its diminutive size, the mini 13 can still manage a reliable call over cellular for hours at a time.
With the greater real estate offered by the macBook form factor, there are broader options for effective antenna arrays and also their power supply versus phones and tablets.

> Knowing all of this, it makes perfect sense to tax the living crap out of highly processed foods that are made from subsidized ingredients.

The consequence of this would be that the subsidized food gets exported to a country that doesn't tax it, at which point you're subsidizing some other country's food.

The US is also a large net exporter of food, implying there is more than enough domestic production for wartime needs. Also, the US hasn't been in that kind of a war in almost a hundred years and MAD makes it unlikely that it ever would be again. The obvious conclusion is to eliminate the subsidies.
It would make for a good Monty Python sketch.

That’s really a sad state of affairs.
That's just something someone wrote on Wikipedia. Do you think that if the liberland people showed the Wikipedia page to the police, they would have backed off? The only logical conclusion here is simply that the Wikipedia article is wrong.
1) Sub-typing a clean general type for all kinds of special purposes.

vs.

2) Having to create or acquire lots of separate types for all the specialized types you (or others) need, along with all their operations, probably in inconsistent ways, and leaving potential types missing, including not having the general type.

Also, the separate type path does not help you cognitively understand the real relationships between the separately crafted types.

A really easy example is the convenience of having a big (unlimited size) integer type that can be parameterized to any size subtype you want.

You get all the arithmetic operations across all those fixed sizes for free, because those algorithms are just easily auto optimized versions of the general operations.

A good system could even auto optimize for an operation that took two integers of different fixed sizes.

Clean concrete closed general types are the powerhouse wonders of the mathematical world. They are just as great for algorithm use.

As long as you can subtype.
It is indeed like you say. You are making a hyperbole, but essentially we have a single type of country.

Yes, Visual Assist is the name, thank you.

I see how my comment may sound that way, but I didn't really mean to contrast JB vs others.

A better idea woud've been comparing a modern version of VS with VS 6, for example.

Anyway, my point is bloat is not the only reason for increased hw requirements. Modern software is often way more capable than the old and adding capabilities seems like a good use of added hw power.

This is a bit similar to the concept of accidental vs inherent complexity in sw engineering. There's accidental bloat and inherent "bloat", so to speak:)

My impression is people don't usually acknowledge the existence of inherent "bloat" in discussions like this one.

A veterinarian I know has diagnosed multiple patients with valley fever, including one whose owner responded with "Oh, I had that!"
