wait what? in what shell? (since that’s not POSIX)
I think the main points are that

-it's much harder to design a good cooperative game as opposed to a good competitive game

- there are much more games designed today

- it's much easier to build a good coop game and more people are trying these days because there is a precedent that it can be done
> I'm not aware of any cooperative board games that are older than 20 years.

Using an approach which explicltly excludes team games and probably excludes semicooperative games (games in which the players are in competition to win, but also have to cooperate to avoid an all-players-lose state), this 1972 game is claimed to be the first cooperative board game; I don't know that its actually the first, but its definitely older than 20 years.

When we will be able to grow meat in a lab, indistinguishable from real meat, with the same nutritional values, etc..., I will stop eating real animals.

Exactly 0% of my enjoyment of eating meat comes from inflicting pain to animals.
He asked if there were countries, "where integration between widly[sic] different cultures worked on the long term," and I answered that there were. And it was easy as there are many such examples. This was not a claim that Singapore was superior in every way to Sweden. Merely that multi-cultural countries can be stable and successful. You don't want to live in Singapore, and that's fine, but you all have to move your goalposts away from, "multiculturalism doesn't work," because it absolutely can work.

> the US has kind of been trending downwards since the 1970s

The US and Sweden both had a rough 1970s, and both bounced back pretty well.

> Anyway, these countries have not invited 1 million+ people from a dramatically different(read: backwards) cultures that are completely incompatible.

The US accepts about a million new immigrants every year, give or take, and has forever. The accents have changed somewhat over my lifetime time but almost all of them have been from countries that are poor and experiencing very bad things. It is a core strength of America that we collect people from all over, quickly turn them into Americans, and borrow the best things about where they came from, and call them our own. Some of my ancestors emigrated to America from Sweden, and I will say that I am very glad that they did for the economic opportunities they found here and because I didn't have to grow up in a monoculture.
> Its similar to how high verbal IQ people can easily master multiple languages, but normal people are only good at their main language.

Let me guess: You are American?

That is very much not true. Go to the Netherlands, for example. Pretty much everybody under 50 speaks very good English. You don’t have to have a high verbal IQ, or be somehow abnormal to become good at a non-native language.

Yes it's "open", but if it doesn't fit the OSI definition it's rude to call it "open source".
Could you not say the same thing about cash? The one difference here is it a defacto nation-agnostic currently that can (because we decided to) be easily traded nearly anywhere in the world. One advantage of it is the relatively fixed supply. It's still all made up but at least you can touch it and carry it with you. Land is great, but you can't take it with you.
I think I've seen you mention this before here, and it led me to writing a note about this topic in some documentation at work. So, thanks for the heads-up. Do you have any idea what would be required to write a URLSession backend for ureq/reqwest?

When the Pi 2 was new, it was one of the few single board computers that properly supported fractional frame rates, which are often needed for smooth video playback. (Many films are encoded at 24000/1001 fps rather than exactly 24 fps, for example.) I assume the newer models still support this, since they're still built around VideoCore chips.

A faster model would allow decoding at higher resolutions and frame rates, even when the codec in use doesn't have direct hardware support.

With the PCIe support in this new model, it could also make a decent home file server.
The concept of a 'biologically determined interpretive framework' doesn't seem all that determined to me. The variation in our individual moral compasses and the existence of intercultural moral divides indicate that this framework is as vague and inconsistent as it can be.

Using empathy or feelings as a basis raises the question of whose sensitivity we should calibrate it on. We are not moral relativists because the concept of morality itself is built on the idea of distinguishing right from wrong. We believe that what we are doing is right.

In the future, there might be a carbon-neutral vegan society, and they will view us through their newly derived ethical compass, much like how we perceive morality when we look back at our recent history.

If this biological source had any consistency, why did people do monstrous things while believing they are on the right? Would you have had your current moral compass if you lived in another society/another time that you look back at now with horror? Can you find a single human ethic that all societies from any time can agree on?

Should the recency of Maori arrival in NZ make white NZers (and Englishmen such as myself) feel less guilty about colonisation? Is it any different to displace a people who had been in place for just 300 years compared to one who had been there for 10k (Americas) or 50k (Australia)?

Most peoples have been displaced at some point. My Brythonic ancestors, if I have any, had their land settled by the Romans, the Danes and the Saxons all in the space of ~500 years.

I'm not an expert, some facts may be wrong, but it's something I have wondered about.

I bought a gold bar worth a couple grand just yesterday. It hardly takes up any space in my nightstand drawer. There’s no need to come up with an idea of what to do with it, it’s not like 20k worth of gold is a huge brick or something.
This very morning, my wife performed reset of cache/cookies from our family’s perfectly fine iPad 3 (yeah, the one from 2012, 11 years old). The iPad is our kitchen TV, it shows either some content from VLC (works perfectly fine, kudos to the devs) or some YouTube from Safari (the AppStore’s app support is long gone, web app still works quite well, even considering it was updated recently). Today I spent my morning trying to login our kitchen account. Didn’t work. The account is perfectly fine, but Google refuses to login, as — I’m pretty sure — we use our obsolete software. Well, we do, we do. But even YouTube itself works relatively fine, and as many of you may understand, the iPad is great and much beyond what we need for kitchen, it has a loud speaker and great display, we don’t need anything else for that use-case. On top of that that’s separate device is nothing to worry about, as you may imagine controlling the iPad with dirty fingers, all the oils of the kitchen, etc. Not a place for a modern iPad that we also have, imo.

For me that’s a great example. I personally know many old (even obsolete iPads) lying here and there collecting dust, as their software (and hardware) vendor decided they are all in for nature and ecology (sarcasm), so let millions of perfectly capable devices would be thrown away as a trash.

Eyeing some Android tablet for that, the one I can flash with Lineage OS and be happy with. Maybe Google’s Pixel C or even Nexus 7.

Meanwhile we continue using the iPad unlogginned till it stop working.
At the time of the civil war there was no country-wide consensus on the question of slavery, obviously.

Today, on that specific question, there seems to be a consensus (although one can argue it's largely a legal consensus: the song "Rich men north of Richmond" is choke-full of dog whistles advocating for a return to the good old times of pre-civil war in the South, and its runaway success shows it resonates with many people).

But there are a lot of other ethical topics where there is zero consensus, in the US, today. Guns, abortion, immigration, to name a few.

Europe's oldest shoe found in Spanish bat cave
Its value has gone up in most currencies in most time frames. People don't buy gold to buy groceries, to eat it, or to use it as a tool. They buy it so that 20 or 30 years later it has roughly kept its value, i.e. it has performed much better than holding currency.

Buying land requires maintenance, and probably comes with some ongoing tax implications.

So: the bigger M chips waste 13% of real estate on buses, leaving less room for cores. AMD and Intel have big cores (relative to ARM) — so, nope not a good match.

But I don't get the point about M design being (over) "specialized". Also, wasn't the magic sauce that Apple added that the DRAM is integrated on the same die? (Ie. very low latency)

Anyone with better understanding care to explain?
1. "noticing" and "caring" is not the same thing. They notice it like they notice the rain.

2. Our (*) raises are only very partially affected by company results, and probably not by the quarterly ones.

3. Our bonuses are affected by annual results, nor quarterly ones. Also, they're not so large as to corrupt professional-ethical motivation ("if we cripple the product then the company would make money and we'd get a larger bonus"). AFAICT of course, I'm not a mind reader and only know a small part of the thousands and thousands of employees.

4. There are no result targets with some kind of discontinuous effect on bonuses and raises. At least not that employees know about.

Of course, this could be very different at Google.

Luckily I discovered JAX in the beginning of my PhD four years ago. It has made our data processing (biomedical imaging) so much easier and more readable, albeit with a slight learning curve due to JAX being functional/pure.

I am also continously surprised how little adoption JIT and autodiff libraries have gotten in scientific computing. A lot of my colleagues somehow really like coding cost function gradients and fine-tuned GPU code by hand. I guess using something like JAX can reduce your standing in the group, because it can make it seem like coding algorithms is pretty easy.
Not wanting to excuse Google here, but I wonder if a certain kind of moat can build by itself if a company is big and well-known enough.

E.g. many websites have restrictive robots.txt files or other anti-bot and anti-scraping measures in place - however, I'll claim that most sites will make a specific exception for Googlebot. Not because Google pays them or anything, but because it's common knowledge among web developers that search engine bots have to be let through. The problem is that there is no public registry for search engines, so developers just go by the engines they know and deem most important - and that's primarily Google.

If they feel generous, they'll add few of the other biggest players to the list as well, such as Bing or DDG, but they for sure won't add some obscure startup they never heard of.

The effect is that anyone trying to create a new search engine automatically will have a harder time creating an index of the same quality as Google's, even if they had access to the exact same hardware, algorithms and expertise as Google.

So in effect, the quasi-monopoly perpetuates itself, exactly because everyone else is acknowledging it and adjusting their own behaviour towards it.

False, you pay CGT on investment gold in almost all countries.

That's something that continues to baffle me whenever I interview people fresh from college. So many of them think their leetcode scores actually help them understand whats required in this job.

It doesn't, and it always baffles them when I don't even give them a whiteboard problem to solve. I don't need people who have memorized all graph search algorithms, I don't need people who can code them up in 6 languages without looking anything up. People who can google competently (or use a textbooks index) can do the former just as well, and LLMs can do the latter.

What I need are people who can take requirements, anticipate as much as humanly possible what else the client will do over time, and find a maintainable architecture that implements those and maybe is resilient when facing further changes down the road.

And that is a HARD skill, that leetcode and most of what CS curricula will not teach.
Sri Lankan here. I personally experienced this last year and was very surprised. We Sri Lankans love to criticise ourselves for our wonky moral compasses, so when the early protests started, I stocked up on food and installed an extra CCTV camera, expecting widespread riots and looting. They never came. There were many organised protests, and protesters did clash with riot police around government buildings, but people overall were unusually helpful toward each other.

Several times, I had taxi drivers refuse to accept fare when they picked me up from a bus stop late at night (both petrol/gasoline and buses were in short supply for a while). Once a motorcyclist literally stopped by and handed me his spare helmet saying "If you're heading my way, I can take you". Many people (including my wife and I) drove around distributing food and supplies to folks we felt were in need. It's hard to describe what came over us, but it seemed like a common phenomenon that affected a lot of people.

I still think if food became really scarce, selfish, violent behaviour would have emerged. But fortunately it never came to that and the country managed to go into a debt restructuring program with the IMF.
> I am unsure why there wasn't earlier immigration from Australia, possibly technological or cultural.

Indigenous Australians were not mariners, they reached australia by island hopping, and at a time when the sea levels were even lowers and thus the distances between islands were lower (Tasmania was a peninsula at the time).

While NZ is close to Australia by air, the Tasman sea is 1700km of open unforgiving ocean. This is not a distance you can reasonably cross as a people with little history of navigation, or even a lot of it. Scandinavia to Iceland is 2/3rds that distance and Iceland was only colonised in the 9th century, by a reasonably maritime culture (mid-era norse).

Indigenous Australians never reached New Caledonia either even though it’s much closer to Australia (~1200km), as far as I know the earliest arrivals were circa 1500~1000BCE at the earliest and from the other side (the Lapita reached New Caledonia from through).
You can see 1GB and 2GB jumpers in the photos, so it seems reasonable to expect these models to show up eventually.

Cash is how taxes, payments for state services, public workers salaries, and public investments are specified. If the goal of cash is to serve as money then those all on themselves already set very concrete measures of value.

The pity is that while he was remarkably prescient, he seems to have stopped adapting decades ago.

GNU seems to have little interest in keeping up with modern developments, and seems to be content with maintaining the old command line tools for the most part. Meanwhile, they're becoming a smaller and smaller proportion of an useful software stack, and people are rewriting them in more modern fashions, eg, Rust. Pretty much none of that is done under the GPL.

The FSF is clearly not reaching the people it needs to reach. Where's their Youtube channel, or their Twitter? As far as I know, they have neither. I barely hear anything about the FSF on Linux sites. Their reach elsewhere has to be essentially nonexistent.

And with the FSF it appears that RMS has no viable successor. That doesn't bode well either.

The sad outcome is that we keep rehashing things like Right to Read -- a fine thing from 1997, but what has happened since?

Honestly, I don't. This was just a given in literature I read and chats (about Greco-Roman antiquity, can't answer for other cultures). You may come across it in books about literacy in GR antiquity, but honestly that'd be a lot to read through to find a nugget or two.

Btw it's not that all scribes were illiterate, but definitely some were or perhaps they were just substantially less literate. For their job, copying out sheet after sheet of text, they just needed to know the alphabet. It'd be like learning to copy an alphabet you might not know, like Cyrillic or Arabic. And decent money too.

IIRC the argument for scribal illiteracy had to do with the kinds of scribal copying errors you would see.

There are some errors that suggest a person can read, like homoteleuton. That's when someone sees the phrase "I love you" in a love letter, copies it, and then starts copying from after a second "I love you" lower in the paragraph. "I love you. I'm a terrible person and I know I slashed your tires but... I love you, we should get married" —> "I love you, we should get married".

Other kinds of scribal copying errors betray a lack of reading ability. Like homearchy, where they skip a line because of similarities at the start of the line.

If you're reading along, it becomes obvious the sentence stopped making sense because you skipped a line. But if you're not reading along because you can't, you won't catch the change in meaning.

If things have collapsed far enough where physical gold is the only currency, physical gangs will be out there confiscating said gold from physical corpses not in said gangs. The word for a catastrophe where middle-class people survive without being press-ganged into a military or otherwise being placed under the thumb of a strongman is "contrived" or, perhaps, "fictional". If you want a collapse, look at what happened in Russia in 1917, or Cambodia in 1970.

Ask HN: ADHD Symptoms
I’m fairly sure I’ve had some kind of ADHD my entire life, but never been treated professionally for it. I’ve gotten pretty good at dealing with how my brain works, but I just feel like it’s running at 98% constantly (mostly with completely useless thoughts and information) and am wondering if I could potentially get more useful cycles out of it with some kind of treatment.

I have some of the classic symptoms such as finding it hard to bring myself to do tasks I’m not interested in, but also having the ability to focus so intensely on more interesting things, always having some kind of music playing in parallel with all other thoughts I’m having, etc…

I feel like it’s starting to affect my work because I think I try to avoid mentally taxing things in some capacity because of this, and it’s also hard to transition in and out of super focus mode once I get there. It’s very hard for me to be present and not thinking about other things or worrying about the future, to the point where if there is any pause in a conversation I’m having I instantly start thinking about something else unrelated.

I’m wondering if anyone else has felt similarly and if treatment helped them? I’ve had friends give me advice that if I’ve made it this far without being on medication for ADHD there is no reason to start now, and I’ve also heard of peoples lives being completely changed for the better because of it.
To be honest I've not looked into how tricky it would be - if anything I went the opposite route of experimenting with a reqwest-API-compatible wrapper for URLSession but didn't get too far due to other projects taking up my time. It might be the easier path though - one crate that basically uses a `reqwest`, `ureq` or `URLSession` backend since the former two would still work on Android to start.

For reqwest specifically I guess it would also depend on how badly you want `async` support or not (i.e just the blocking module API).
