Consider giving Satisfactory a try, if you have a PC good enough to support its 3D graphics. In Satisfactory, all ore deposits are infinite. It generally has much less survival elements, using mobs only as a way to gate higher-tier ore deposits and rare items from the early game.

> What's the deal with these things being lumped in with physics?

Definition of natural philosophy:

> natural science, especially physical science

Physics at its core is philosophy, and its models, as sophisticated or complete as may be, can never be separated from an interpreter

Religion is also in great part philosophy, and both physics and religion similarly arise from a drive to understand the nature of the universe

All of these things intersect, and the article is about one of those points of intersection

Which angle you want to take is your own personal choice. But please don’t be so quick to dismiss others’ interest in probing at the fundamentals of the universe just because you don’t agree with the way they go about it
> We should expect them to provide a basic option (which they do) and for sophisticated consumers to pay more for a much better option

GitHub is fairly feature rich imo, _especially_ when compared to something like CodeCommit on AWS. I’ve been forced to use CodeCommit on client engagements and it’s absolutely horrid. Honestly if your tool supported CodeCommit I’d say the value proposition would skyrocket.

Its a 7B model with GGUFs already on Hugging face, with down to a 2-bit quantization. It’ll probably run on an RPi; you definitely don’t need an RTX 4090.
No they're right. I misread it. Even looking at it again, I think the post I was replying to was saying that nobody would have a problem with releasing their records. I don't see what I'm missing.
“Indian exceptionalism” is a prevalent notion among the middle/upper class of India - i.e. the quality of life in India is comparable to other countries. You’ll hear it most from the people who have servants taking care of their household chores (but never the servants themselves). There are also common excuses thrown around like “it has only been 75 years since colonialism” and “the British stole everything”.

I was born in India, grew up in the US, and remember many visits back to the motherland where a relative would extol the virtues of “coming back”. I also remember getting sick all the time, abhorrent public restrooms, sitting in traffic for hours, etc.

Anyone from an actual modern country would agree with you on this, but many Indians living in India would not.
There's no doubt whatsoever that TON was, at one point, an official Telegram project. There's posts about it on their blog [1] and sections of their Terms of Service which describe it a feature "incorporated into the Telegram Messenger application" [2]. There are also a number of features being offered by TON with explicit support from Telegram itself, e.g. purchasing Telegram Premium with TON [3], "collectible" Telegram usernames [4][5], "anonymous numbers" for Telegram accounts [6][7], etc.

Even if TON isn't legally the same entity as Telegram, they're hand-in-glove with each other.

If you have an expensive experiment and need a lot of cash, it makes sense to go with people who have extra cash and an interest in funding science.
Not sure if this is weird revisionism or simple ignorance, but it's not remotely right (I worked for a DEC reseller back in those days and had lots of quality time with Alpha (which I miss)).

Neither VMS nor OSF/1 were remotely like $30k unless you're talking about the DEC 4000/7000/10000 superminis (which ran to the US$1m range). I'd have to dig up a BoM from the old days to be exact, but the workstation license was in the US$100s/low US$1k unit price, depending on the box, and install media shipped with the box AFAIK. I have a couple of dozen copies of OSF/1 install media in a box in storage someplace so I guess I should get them on eBay ASAP.

Other than the early DEC 3000 line, Alpha ran M$ WinNT on DEC hardware with the right ARC firmware (user installable, tho I seem to recall there were some NT-only products), and Linux was ported very quickly. Many of our customers never even considered VMS or OSF/1 AFAIK. We sold a lot of Alphas to run NT+SQLServer in otherwise x86 Windows shops.

Third party Alpha motherboards existed but were never a big deal in the market mostly because the DEC OEM motherboards (e.g. PC164) were very good and reasonably priced (for the high end), and came in standard ATX form factors. There were, however, a lot of 3rd parties who took DEC OEM boards, put them in their own case and sold them under their own brand.

Comparing Alpha and StrongARM is...weird, since they were for completely different markets. It's like saying Xeon is doomed because Atom or ARM9 is so much more power efficient. And in Alphas heyday, absolutely noone was talking about TDP outside of mobile.

Alphas problem IMHO was there was never a 'low end' to capture market. Alpha was always a 'high-end PC' to 'workstation' class chip (no, Multia/21066 don't count...they were awful). In the end, AMD got 64-bit and AMD & Intel got performance competitive quickly and at the end of the day software is more important than hardware and why would end users want to have x86-64 on the low end and AXP on the high end when they can have one arch across the board.
I love the amazing, advanced submission and review workflow you can see if you click anything with PATCH in it at https://public-inbox.org/git/. The best part is that it's fully integrated with Git!

It's distressing to me that Github spends so much money making Git worse. (There's some good parts of their whole product lineup, but the Git integration is supposed to be the centerpiece.)
There are better solutions than that these days and tons of people building and designing parts for custom built boards that use few or no components from FutureMotion. https://pev.dev
I think the important part of the technique is talking about what you see, not the actual act of seeing things. He talks about creating brain pathways between the visual and linguistic parts of your brain.

It’s those new pathways that are the key.
It took me 15+ years in the business to realize this. If someone gave you a time machine to go into the past and give me your exact comment AND punch me in the face, it still wouldn't have dawned on me because I was in pursuit of some weird perfection that doesn't exist.

Thanks for spreading sanity and insight -- I hope someone else digests your message sooner than I did.
The one situation where this seems to come up is that I'm using PWM duty cycle to control a constant current LED driver. Because my light is far too bright at full intensity, the driver has a PWM pin that lets attenuate that. however, because I'm taking extremely fast images (sub-millisecond exposures), if I use a low PWM frequency (<1MHz) I see image artifacts. I am trying 1MHz PWM (generated by my arduino) on a solderless breadboard, and I see flaky behavior when I increase the PWM beyond 250KHz or so. Things look fine on my scope, but the LED itself often doesn't behave as expected.

I do see that occasionally, but it is not a large percentage of people.

One of the most influential people in energy, Jigar Shah, is far more rosy on the possibility of the nuclear industry getting its act together than I am. If he delivers loans to the right people that can actually execute, and he definitely gets a good view into the sort of people trying to build than I do, then he may very well be right.
> Honestly, squash merges are frequently a sign of people who lack mastery in Git itself or make no effort to produce high-quality independent commits.

So literally any open source project that accepts external contributions. For this reason we default to squash merge but will allow for exceptions if people ask for it and know how to structure their commits.
> Nope, LLMs hallucinate, that’s what you don’t find online.

People spinning elaborate narratives out of their imagination that aren’t true is, in fact, a thing I find (including resulting in dangerously false information on topics likely to be important to people) online all the time.
I literally said that if you were someone who was flooded, it might be the worst thing to happen to you in years.
I thought so too coming from the same generation. But there was a moment, few years back, where I stopped worrying about it.

My kids made me watch Sex Education on Netflix. My initial reaction was just irritation. There is so much content that uses sex, shock and awe to capture attention. And once achieved, there is no further message delivered. My initial reaction was here we go again with this crap. It also took me straight back to my days as a kid, waiting eagerly with the neighborhood gang for episodes of the Wonder Years. It was innocent. It was beautiful. It was dealing with day to day stuff kids dealt with. At least that's what I thought kids needed to see. And was I annoyed at what they were getting instead.

But as Sex Education progressed, and it pulled me in quick, I was just blown away, by how the writers were handling so many complicated subjects. Not with the usual cynicism (think fight club or the wire) but with humor, imagination and loads of innocence and beauty. It was just so heartwarming. I was looking forward to the new seasons as much as my kids were :) And I cant imagine it being produced in the 90s.

And it showed me, as complicated as the world is getting, there is so much more possible today. And beauty isn't dead. It just looks different.
There are so many Smithsonian museums that it feels like HN should be showing three levels of domain here (americanhistory.si.edu) instead of just two (si.edu).
Even if they do there are famous stories about how hard it is to be seen as sane the moment it's suspected you're not.

The whole goal of science is the ability to make predictions, however small they are, about the future. Maybe with an uncertainty range.
It's well known by psychologists working with child molesters that CSAM consumption leads to action. Given that we're talking about child rape, which is probably the most destructive thing for society, even a "should" is enough to take action.

I'm astonished about the level of precaution here. What's next? We have no clear data about what would happen if we offered nuclear ICBM to Zimbabwe, so why not do it?

That's fine if you're not writing open source code and don't plan on updating your toolchain frequently.

> Consent

Which we could likely easily engineer into whatever system eventually exists, once that point is reached. I doubt anyone who makes such a thing would intentionally engineer it to NOT consent to their experimentation.

> Consent plus the ability to reset

For a hypothetical example: If I said I would perform <some psychological experiment> on you, but it's okay because I can force consent into you and then perfectly reset your brain and body back to how they were pre-experiment, would you still be okay with it? This may be a bit of an extreme way of looking at it, but the ethical concerns matter.
Why not? Is there a significant difference between (speculating about) those (alleged) genocides? I don't know anything about the events GP linked, but if someone made a (well-researched) post about them I would read it just as I've read this one.

I'd argue that children actually do put in a lot of effort. Parents sit down and teach the kids stuff, and kids are motivated to try and remember things their friends say to them. No empirical evidence though, just a thought.
You are absolutely correct. ‘Looking to spend’ was not the accurate term to use. I should have said ‘looking to solve the problem,’ with a budget exceeding $1000/month.

Question: does CodeApprove place related files in closer proximity during review? I would _love_ to have a class and its test next to each other instead of sorted alphabetically. I'm tired of jumping around all over the place, trying to traverse through my review thought process.
Yeah, grab the source and get to work! :)

Honestly, what do you think running this on a rbp would accomplish for you? It's an RTOS, not a desktop operating system.
It's not hard to understand why repatriation is economically attractive. People who have worked in the West for a decade or two live like kings in India because their accumulated savings goes so far. This huge difference in purchasing power and labor cost is, of course, a characteristic of a developing nation.

The potential problem is: you've spent a big chunk of your adult life living in a developed nation, and despite your massively enhanced purchasing power, you are returning to a developing one, with all the concomitant physical discomforts and social ills.

But social ills are only a problem if you acknowledge them, and physical discomforts are largely solved with a money bubble, so... there we are.
Is the implication here that if they can't get that right, they wouldn't be able to predict world population either? If so, how do you know this is an issue with demography and not just being the ones your school hired not being particularly good?
Any time someone advocates for massive redistribution, as degrowth does, ask to whom they propose to give that power of appropriation, and why they trust them to use it wisely.

What differentiates redistributive degrowth from certain forms of socialism? Did those forms of socialism create just societies or enact massive violence against humans and nature?

If one or more countries opt out of redistributive degrowth in favor of other economic models, how likely are they to create more desirable local living conditions than the degrowthers, destabilizing the degrowth regime just as visions of capitalism destabilized the USSR?
Quite a lot of NeXT was ObjC (and ObjC++ -- eek!). Apple bought NeXT; the NeXT team begat Mac OS X; Mac OS X thus ended up being ObjC-heavy.

When Apple build the iPhone, they used their Mac OS X know-how to build a new-but-familiar operating system, and they of course used Objective C.

The iPhone was a massive success, and the native development language for it was Objective C, so when they opened up the platform to third-party developers, Objective C was all of a sudden an overnight success!
It's simple, scalable, and has none of the mentioned problems.

The main drawback is that contributors have to learn a proper mail user agent (Gmail is notoriously bad with patches).
It feels like every country (that is not the US) has a legend about how the X company could have been the next Apple/IBM/Microsoft if it weren't for evil/corrupt/incompetent politicians. Usually these stories fall apart on closer inspection.

Not surprisingly, this story doesn't pass my smell test either. It's very light on details. It also talks a lot about the thoughts in Bill Gates' head, but fails to provide any quotes to back them up.

> the section of population that just can't abide that AI could be 'conscious' are finding all these more esoteric arguments about the universe being 'consciousness'

Panpsychism asserts that everything is conscious, which means that AI or silicon would already be conscious, which basically means there is no special human spark

If anything, if you are trying to prove that AI is not conscious, you would be absolutely rejecting panpsychism or anything that remotely resembles it
Can you share what you're referring to when you say it's proven to not have privacy?
Exactly. -Werror for the normal make target is problematic.

But -Werror for a dev target that e.g. CI uses to compile-test pull requests on known toolchains and distros that you explicitly intend to support is useful. The alternative would be tons of effort to skip -Werror but still have CI flag that pull request that introduces new warnings. Just having the build fail because -Werror is far simpler and less fragile.
It's equally well demonstrated that child psychologists can create CSAM and by your reasoning that will lead to rape.

https://www.kidspot.com.au/parenting/australian-child-psycho...

I'm astonished about the level of precaution here. What's next? We have no clear data about what would happen in the future so why not ban all child psychologists?
I was puzzling about Hydra- vs Hydro- the diagrams don't claim that water is involved, but I wondered if there was some sort of ingenious multi linkage gearing involved that might merit Hydra. Still really neat.
The other huge contrast if you're used to ads today is the huge amount of text - people back then seemed to both be more patient and willing to read.
You seem to be extremely fixated on the exact number of 12. Any number short of 100 junior dev-days does not even warrant considering the word “crazy”. Multiply all the numbers by 8 for all I care, it does not affect the conclusion that you should be doing a cost-benefit analysis, not dismissing it out of hand. Tens of thousands of dollars is a worthwhile price to pay for quality tooling that offers modest improvements; not big, modest.

You need to get to around 500 dev-days per developer in tooling before you get into “the probability this makes sense is almost certainly zero, so just dismiss it out of hand as too expensive”. That is hundreds of thousands of dollars per developer before we actually get into economically unjustifiable land.

And again, you are not distinguishing between what is economically sound versus the cost-benefit analysis of specific products. It is economically sound to spend a additional 10 K$ per developer you have in the Netherlands for tooling that offers a 30% productivity improvement (actually, it is economically sound to pay a great deal more, but that requires a more exhaustive analysis).

In other words, if you find a tool that you believe (including all factors like legal, licensing, whatever) actually provides a 30% overall productivity improvement then you would be economically foolish not to purchase that product for 10 K$/yr per developer. Note that I already incorporated all objections into your belief of a overall 30% improvement, we are starting from the assumption that including all caveats you are nearly certain you will get a 30% improvement.

But again, this depends on actual products meeting those parameters. Maybe all of the paid products suck. Fine, then they all fail the cost-benefit analysis. But that is because the benefit was not there for the cost, not because the cost is outrageous. Those are different fundamentally different concepts and should be treated differently.
