https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinned-array_curse

> The thinned-array curse (sometimes, sparse-array curse) is a theorem in electromagnetic theory of antennas. It states that a transmitting antenna which is synthesized from a coherent phased array of smaller antenna apertures that are spaced apart will have a smaller minimum beam spot size, but the amount of power that is beamed into this main lobe is reduced by an exactly proportional amount, so that the total power density in the beam is constant

So you can transmit with a sparse array, but the power you can deliver with it (for a set synthetic aperture size) decreases with the degree of sparseness. No free lunch.
As a former CEO, nothing disgusts me more than executives taking massive payouts during a layoff. Sickening, psychopath behavior that in any just society would leave you forever ostracized.
No.

We live in a world that is driven by a remarkably small number of massive corporations.

Huge corporations acquire smaller corporations. Huge corporation merge with other huge corporations.

To say this type of behaviour is not at least serving the same negative function as a monopoly is utterly disingenuous.

This type of capitalism is not working well.

This book is essential reading in knowing about the entire crypto scam, lies and grifting, I cannot recommend this enough.

An absolutely well written book, this is perhaps the best book on crypto documenting the worst financial fraud this century has seen.

There is no hope for crypto, and I hope for more books that document it's downfall rather than its imaginary utopian 'upside' as there are none.
Be strategically annoying about your values, whenever it comes up (but almost never when it doesn't: don't be a vegan stereotype). You can get, amortised, a few organisations to change their behaviour per year, if you find someone interested, make a good case, get your timing right, and there are people with the required know-how.
This one is particularly interesting to me because there have been positive books written about her, and she gives interviews about he management approach where she says pretty standard stuff. Why would anyone buy those books or want to interview her given her results? Other than to hear about what not to do I guess.

Is the counterfactual that it would have been worse without her? Seems somewhat dubious.

Believe me, if journalists could tap the same set of resources as advertising does, they would. A really good editor can turn a mediocre piece to a good one, but it takes time, and 3-4 rounds of back-and forth. The same editor, working with a prodigiously talented writer, can turn a rough diamond into something absolutely incredible.

Disclosure: I've done about a decade of freelancing, and during that time was trained by old-school practitioners on how to structure my writing.
Some advice:

(1) Be curious about everything -- of course, a guided sense of curiosity :) What interests you and why? (is it fun, useful, enlightening, important?) -- foster learning more about those things. Then write it down and share :) (The great Mr. Savage wisdom: "The difference between science and fooling around is writing it down!")

(2) Read a lot, people that write well, people that explain well, good people you like. Take inspiration, follow their footsteps (or if you prefer, "clone their style"), take a step further. I had a wise teacher say to me that there's no secret to writing: just read a lot and think, and over time something magic happens that you absorb it and become able to write well too.

Creativity is both more mysterious and less mysterious than we'd like. It's mostly just connecting previous ideas in novel ways, with some happy jumps of logic and happy accidents guiding our way. That's more difficult than it sounds.

Edit: Also, in the hacker (or maker?) spirit... make :D Talking about things without first hand experience is a lot more perilous and frankly more difficult. Specially when it comes to technical and practical stuff. Don't be too arrogant and don't be afraid of making very simple but nice things.
I envision a system where the token covers the cost of your initial contribution, equivalent to the price of two DVDs, approximately $40. This not only funds the DVDs but also grants you access to our network. With the upfront cost accounted for, we can then set a more affordable monthly charge, leveraging the reduced overhead costs. Importantly, the reputation is tied to the token itself, not the wallet. So even if a user changes wallets, any fraudulent activity or complaints associated with the token will persist. After a set number of infractions or complaints, the token will be revoked. To regain access to the network, the user would need to purchase a new token.

Gold - because it is pretty - will always have some value.

Ham radio is only useful if you can power it and find someone else with one who can also power it, my guess not enough people will have them to be useful. firearms are only useful if you have ammo - while you can make bullets and black power it is hard to say if it is worth it. I doubt there will be much firearm trade unless there is an ammo manufacturing (no longer society collapse - though a much more likely scenereo) - people who have ammo will keep the guns that go with it.

I'm not disagreeing that there are plenty of things other than gold to hold onto. However gold is still a reasonable choice for post disaster trade for the same reasons society settled on it in the first place. (note that society also used copper and silver for trade)
Cool library and great suggestion. We hadn’t needed that level of validation (originally created to be a guard against syntax errors from manual edits) but I really like validation against use cases.

The point of using BOM is to avoid specifying dependency versions of individual components, so this problem is in reality non-existent. The only case when you would actually need to have different version of Hibernate than in your BOM is some critical bug fix, which is very likely a patch version and is very unlikely to break compatibility with the rest of your setup.

> Erlang and Haskell have been hovering at under 1% for several decades.

I am well aware that I am nitpicking at this point, but putting a restriction on your metric that rules out 99% of programming languages makes the comparison quite limiting. :D

You are ultimately only speaking about languages that are already quite popular, because even languages like Kotlin, Dart, and Swift (all endorsed by billion dollar companies) are hovering around zero by the metric you provided, and I would have a hard time classifying them as a noise. And languages like Go and SQL are still well below the 5%-10% reference point.
I think the easy win condition (which is just to break out of the main loop by doing a quick buffer overflow in bug()) is doable for 10-15 years old

My daughter is 12 and we have fun playing it, the hard win condition (which is forcing your opponent to jump to the game_over() function) I think is harder, but I guess within 5-6 months we can get there.

For adults, I am not sure, some people are super scared of assembly like its made by the devil himself, so might be harder to get them to play than kids.

KYC/AML has made this much worse (on purpose - limit access to financial services without any real effect on terrorism or money laundering).

Exfiltration has always been a problem. But it's not a good reason to make MITM possible.

Network control should not give control over endpoints any degree more than is necessary to deliver packets from point A to B. We can't trust them with more.

> [...] Now Edge doesn't let you.

That's blatantly false for normal endpoints though. Be it an AV or parental controls, an endpoint administration will have that ability to intercept.

If an endpoint doesn't let you do thay then to be honest, you've already lost the battle. Even simple HTTPS is not really filterable.

> Just like this article above does a good job explaining the lack of security in the cloud, we really could use a good article explaining how completely inane the idea of DoH is.

What is actually inane is the amount of implicit trust and control given to networks right now. Your network might be a nice wonderland, but many aren't.

Given that neither of them “came first” in the topic of inventing the alphabet, what does it matter if Hebrew or Phoenician preceded each other?
It doesn't. You aren't the only one here that raised similar question, I should have clarified that in my original post.

I don't actually like governments creating regulations and drawing lines in the sand. As many have raised with term limits, it isn't a perfect answer and at best bandaids the real problem rather than fixing it.

I'd argue that's the case with any regulation emposed on large populations, there are just too many complexities at that scale to draw a clean line. With term limits specifically, I see it as an unfortunate but possibly necessary tradeoff that may at least give us a chance to start fixing the real problem. We both need more time to find the right answer, and we need to remove those who collected so much power and control from the same system that needs to be fixed in the first place.
The dollar system is bad, but it’s the least bad we can see. There isn’t even a close second. It will take generations at the rate every possible competitor is also self destructing.

So here's a little brain teaser about what you have to do when dealing with potential nation-state actors. This scenario is for the folks who are calling "hyperbole" when the actor is clearly, potentially a nation-state. This scenario is based upon an event that actually occurred.

1. You have a $200 million piece of defense-critical equipment.
2. You know that there was a 5-minute period where a potential member of a foreign intelligence service was alone and unattended in the same room as this piece of equipment.

What do you do with the equipment? You can:

a) Put the equipment into service
b) Disassemble the equipment on both a hardware and software level and try to detect if anything was altered
c) Destroy the equipment

If you choose anything other than c) you have probably never been, nor should you ever be, in charge of securing critical assets that can be targeted by a nation-state. This incident seems to indicate that the leadership at Microsoft would choose a).

Also, bear in mind that these are the people that you just sent all your ChatGPT data to.

Let's stipulate that, like a lot of unoriginal "knowledge work" that AI is/becomes better at capital allocation than humans. If that turns out to be true, why then keep capital allocation in the hands of private organizations?

History of economics disagrees with the last -- hopeful I will assume -- statement. The world was and is full of scammers and fraudsters.

Also respectfully I am not sure I get the zero interest rates arguments. There seems to be a subgroup of HN community that believes low interest rates (below some arbitrary threshold?) to be immoral. Maybe there is a Crime, scams and ponzi schemes correlation study over hundreds of years I am unaware of? Japan is keeping negative rates and they are not known for that, to give the country everyone knows counterexample.

Besides that the main borrowers are countries themselves. And with US, Europe and China paths right now, amidst a global war tension, something will have to give long term to make ends meet. Usually it is currency devaluation and a fundamental systemic change.

My T440 (2013) is running fine.

My desktop was first built on EPoX EP-MF4 Ultra-3 (~2007) and run Vista, was 'upgraded' to GA-Z77X (~2012) somewhere in 2016 and went out of use ~2019 when I was forced to relocate and use that T440 exclusively 'till 2021.
I am a firm believer that I would get more work done with a 4-day workweek than I currently do with my 5-day workweek. I already spend an embarrassing amount of time slacking off daily, it's not like I'm pressed for time to get stuff done in the office. I could easily meet my weekly objectives in 32 hours rather than 40, and having 3-day weekends every weekend I think would be incredible for my mental health and mood. And when I'm in a better mood, I get more work done!

One thing I feel like a lot of people don't realize is just how big a difference it is to go from a 5-day week to a 4-day week. Sure, it's "just one day" but when you think about the ratio between time-on and time-off, the shift becomes a lot more dramatic. 5-on, 2-off means you spend over twice as many days working as not working. 4-on, 3-off means you spend a nearly equal number of days on each. It's just one day of difference, but it feels like a major, major shift.

We are stating subtly different points here. Holding 32 hours a week constant, you are arguing that 4-day workweeks reduce cost to the employer, and I think your arguments are at least situationally true quite often; however, I am stating that shorter workdays would lead to greater average value per hour spent for my employer from me, which I think is also true in my case.

The deciding factor is whether the difference in value generation is greater than the possible cost reduction you propose. That is a difficult question to give a definitive answer to, especially because there are large groups of people who want to spend as little mental effort as possible at work, to whom my personal preferences obviously don't apply.

TLDR: You bring up an interesting point. Thank you for your reply.
Without a rollout most 0-60 times would be useless. You make things like the surface the car is on matter way more than they should.

What's more of a problem is the opposite: if you increase the rollout so that the car's ECUs think it's being driven normally, and then mash the pedal to see how fast it goes, you get dramatically slower numbers: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/...

That reflects how fast a car will feel in daily driving as opposed to a drag strip
