It was an artistic choice, in order to be able to have large open windows that aren't too disorienting, in a habitat small enough that you can see clear curvature in every room, and still call the project "One Revolution Per Minute". If he had called it "One Point Four Revolutions Per Minute", it could have been 1g and still had the right curvature that he wanted, but then the lights moving past the windows would be a fair bit harder to handle.

In general, the major point of artistic license in the project is the windows, which the author acknowledges. A realistic (and still extremely exciting and inspiring) rotating space habitat this size would rotate at 1.4rpm to achieve 1g, and would not have transparent glass windows for safety and nausea reasons (replace them with screens that show a non-rotating view of the outside for a similar effect without the safety and nausea cost).

It's also worth noting that the habitat could be made bigger, to have 1rpm cause 1g. It would require a habitat with a radius of 890m, so a total circumference of 5.6km, still well within the tensile strength of steel for suspension under 1g (I personally wouldn't trust a rotating space habitat to be made out of composites or similar materials until we have a much, much better understanding of composite failure modes and a reliable way of testing/repairing such structures - steel is best because we know how to use it, what its limits are, and because it has fatigue resistance without being absurdly expensive like titanium). A habitat like that would not have the rooms visibly curve as much as they do in this video, though.
That's my long term plan. But that involves having significant capital and knowledge to start my own business. On top of an ability to either quickly start gathering revenue. I will of course have the worst of both worlds; likely working somewhere part time while preparing my product to sell, which is not proven income.

Meanwhile, consulting similarly requires specialized and/or significant knowledge/value to bring to a business. People who can do either probably are already in a position where they don't rely on full time income to survive.

>The problem with these 4-day work weeks is that you are imposing your lifestyle changes on potential employers by expecting to get paid more for working less. It's a losing battle and will most-likely only be temporary, like remote work

1. I woildnt mind the option even with reduced salary. Especially as my salary grows (80% of 150% of my salary is still 20% more of my current salary. And I live very comfortably t on begin with). I wouldn't even mind 4 10 hour days. But few offer it to begin with. Some progress there would be nice.

2. I don't see remote work as temporary. Pre-pandemic I'd say 80% of companies in my industry expected on-site full time and requesting wfh was like pulling teeth. 3 years later that more or less flipped; so many companies advertise remote first even if all the big employers are RTO'ing.

I hope for a similar revolution with 4 day work weeks.

Keep in mind that every generation thinks that about the following; in your case, you were using computers and whatnot, while your parents may have thought you'd never achieve much because you don't read as many books or do the same thing they did.

Every generation has its "kids these days", but up until now they've all ended up all right.

(I say until now, because the current young generation is struggling economically because of the preceding generations messing up the system)

Can someone explain to me fees on American banks? And the % card surcharges other comments are talking about?

Luck plays a role in pretty much everything. The key is being happy/successful with the amount of luck you end up getting. Looking at luck as sort of normally distributed, chances are you will have some amount of it and, if you're well positioned, that little luck could propel your life forward.

Most people should be thinking about that random day where you'll meet someone who works at your dream company, or an investor, at a party. It will happen once or twice in your life. If it happens tomorrow, are you going to be able to make the best of it?
Anecdote: every single woman I talk to is afraid of AI and robots.

I don't see any data about how many AI startups are female-founded in the article. Perhaps just 2%?

And what's the correct ratio of investment into female-founded AI startups? 50%? What about all the other genders? According to Wikipedia, there are dozens of gender identities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gender_identities.
It's used by envious people to discredit other's success, and to justify why, conversely, they themselves haven't succeeded. It's very closely associated with having a "fixed mindset" and believing that people are merely a product of their environment/circumstances versus actually doing something about their own predicament.
Never heard of Workplace before (unless that's the metaverse thing, in which case it's clearly not successful). And "threads is successful" is dubious: the key point of the article is that it isn't.

I don't know exactly what your problem with Trello is - IMO it's the right tool for that space, or was until Atlassian bought it and started making it bloated and slow. Linear is also fine.

It's possible to use Jira well (ish) but it requires constant effort. If you ever take your eye off the ball you'll have irreversible transitions and workflows that only certain people can do and you'll start using ticket numbers instead of issue descriptions and end up fighting the tool more than working.
You seem to be in the know, so let me ask you: is current tech still in need of large areas to work effectively?
Subsidies is arguable as groundwater isn’t necessarily useful unless you pump it out. How much to value that finite resource isn’t obvious but letting it run out is a self correcting problem.

Anyway your numbers aren’t even close. Water needs to reach people not simply exist. Groundwater depletion really isn’t a thing in the east cost, it’s mostly a thing west of the Mississippi and mostly at fairly high elevations.

To offset water withdrawals of people living 2km above sea level that 1200 m^3 of sea water would need 6480 kWh before consideration inefficiencies. For much of the Midwest you’re spending more on pumping than desalination, but you also need pipes etc.

Drones can spot camouflaged positions only from some closer distance, certainly less than 1000m.

Mobile phone signals can be pinpointed from further away, 10km is easily possible, and the cellular network means that you have a network of antennas in a tighter grid than that. And beyond switching off your phone, there is no camouflaging cell phone signals.

So even if you then employ the drones e.g. to aim and correct the artillery (300m precision from cellphone tower cross location isn't precise enough), cell phones will quickly tell you where to start looking with your drones.

Yeah my daughter got her start with the Piper computer, which is just a rebranded raspberry pi (albeit at a much higher price point), in a balsa wood case you put together yourself.

That's all she needed, really. She graduated from that to Swift Playgrounds on my iPad, then once she had some understanding of Swift and programming in general she was solving problems on replit. Not sure yet how she'll jump the gap to making actual apps, but that's her goal and she's trying. She doesn't have to do it alone though; I'll help out as needed.
It's perfectly possible for there to be many of them and for them to also be monopolies over their respective regional markets. Compare with cable companies carving up territory and agreeing not to intrude on eachother's turf.

They probably don't use the Internet.
Having an additional way to effect changes in behavior without recompiling an application hardly negates the benefit you described. They don't say the _cant_ or _couldn't_ change the source themselves either. And what you described is hardly the main advantage of Linux, FreeBSD enables that _much_ easier.
Those businesses need a working cashier that keeps untampered records. Not because they're inherently electronized, but because they want the convenience of it. It just makes a lot of things easier. The same way they do digital bookkeeping, not because they can't do it on paper but because it's just a pure hassle that distracts from the business.

"survival mode" is just that, you can accept cash during a hurricane, and refuse it for the rest of the year when you operate nromally.

You're dreaming if you think the merchant is abandoning margins to finance card companies because they bring business he's convinced he wouldn't have had otherwise: he's making everyone, cash payers included, pay the 3% premium, keeps his margin, fattens the credit providers, the credit consumers get their 3% back, the cash payers do not, the merchant doesn't give a damn and is paid his margin as before, plus a bit more for cash payers.

You thought... prices were dynamically changing per acquisition channel, or that credit borrowers were "privileged" because they took a credit risk and got a "reward" coming from... the merchant ??? Man, what a beautiful world that would have been :(
There are several evolutionary algorithms that are used to design network topography as well as weights. NEAT is a popular one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroevolution_of_augmenting_t...

There are a few problems with this approach though. For one, there are often many local maxima that a genetic algorithm can easily converge on.

Secondly, the state space is often enormous, and testing/discarding millions of generations of poorly constructed networks is a very inefficient way of sampling it.

These problems are often enough to prohibit GA use.
(1) What seem to be relatively small efforts, knowledge, etc. can yield big results.

(2) Think. Continually try to understand what is going on that has any real chance of affecting you.

(3) Get an education, at least a good education at the college level. As silly as this sounds, such an education does provide some discipline in thinking that can be a big advantage. Might apply the advantage just some one afternoon and get big results.

(4) For first earnings, will about have to be an employee. So, do that. Live cheaply; save a lot of your money.

As an employee, might find that if do some work that is especially good, nearly everyone else in the company will try to get you fired. Some business school courses call this goal subordination.

(5) Own something that has a good chance of becoming valuable. One general approach -- real estate. Another approach, a small business that might grow. E.g., at one time could start a simple Web site for romantic matchmaking, as a sole, solo entrepreneur, grow the number of users, and sell out to a large company for $500 million.

For owning a business, do start with a collection of the business basics: Maybe (a) Please the customer. (b) Have a barrier to entry, e.g., geographical. (c) Have something new, e.g., technology. (d) Study what successful entrepreneurs have done, not necessarily building Google or Amazon but, maybe, having 10 of the best BBQ restaurants in town.
I assume the motivation was that banks don't have to offer free service and make losses on it, they can charge "a reasonable" price.

In practice they charge less "for good customers", i.e. where they do or at least assume to make more money by selling other products or by paying a non-competitive interest rate on higher balances.

A quick Web search brings up a ruling that a German bank was ordered by court to pay back the fee difference between a commercial account and a basic account. But I understand the practice continues more or less hidden. Few of the basic account customers would claim their rights.

I would guess most basic accounts come with an ATM card.
I would prefer a "peasants and longbows" analogy; any country that trained its people in AI would become super effective but would have to keep its peasants very happy.
Last year I partnered with a friends company to try to build a general AI management platform and I've always felt that this stuff is very occult in nature but with all the buzz around new LLMs and stuff I leaned in really hard on the occult imagery for the design part of it. The project didn't continue, but I'm going to keep that in my pocket and try to reform it.

I put the design docs up just for posterity.

Does anyone have a good write up of taking ones home network and going 100% ipv6 including dealing with iot devices that can't? I am thinking of doing it but I have a huge mix of devices from linux to windows and servers.
Really great project! I think there are three small functions that would be great additions:

* IP's (V4, V6)
* Enums (maybe something like enum('active', 'inactive', 'removed').)
* Texts (like blog titles or description fields)
You completely misconstrued what I said actually.

I like working, I like making things, I just don't care about having a "job" which I tie my identity too.

Also, I have a Japanese Toto I imported from Japan, it's literally a robotic toilet that wipes my ass for me. Try again angry man.
Thiên Thời, địa Lợi, Nhân Hòa, or 天时地利人和 in Chinese.

Thiên Thời = being in the right time, right place, right era. As Warren Buffett said, his skills in resource allocation would have been irrelevant if he was born during the Hunter-Gatherer period. Who knows what us code monkeys would be doing just a few decades ago when trading was done on the trading pits of Wall Street rather then electronic trading.

địa Lợi = Position and having an edge

Nhân Hòa = being in harmony (with other people)

The people aspiring for non-Mega success can at least cultivate the last two.

Something like this:

location ~ ^/([a-z0-9_-]+)/ {
proxy_pass http://internal-$1:8000;
}

We pickup the service name from the URL and use it to select where to proxy_pass to. So /service1 would route to the docker container named internal-service1 . We can reach it via the name only as long as Nginx is also running in Docker and on the same network.

As someone who grew up with the Dick Smith Electronics Fun Way 1 & 2 books, which were dog-eared and well-loved way into the 90's, it tickles me to no end that HN occasionally gets articles about this utter genius.

And, as a retro-computing enthusiast it is very fun to see someone making the effort to produce a Wizzard clone. These were very much a 'crossover' type of device, where you could just use it to game, or learn to program - and it was definitely one of those 'make or break' situations - you either gamed, or you learned to program. A friend of mine had one - but he never programmed, because he hated the keyboard... whereas me, with my Oric-1 out there in the bush, had no access to any software - so I had to learn to program, whatever my issues with the chiclet keyboard.

As a curator for a retro-computing museum, of course I'm biased but I think there is definitely a market for re-imagined 8-bit computers.

Kids really benefit from digging into these systems and learning how the CPU really works, and 8-bit computers provide a really useful interface to this technology that isn't too overwhelming. We've built systems in the modern era that are so complex and overwhelming - returning to the simplicity of 8-bit computing really makes it a lot more accessible.

I for one welcome re-imagined 8-bit computers being released to a new and eager market. I am constantly being asked where to get one of the machines in the museum collection - systems like the Fenix256 (another re-imagined 8-bit machine) and the MEGA 65 are very welcome new additions to this market, but we need to scale up.

I could sell 4 of these machines a week, without even trying - categorically, kids go through my museum exhibit, playing with the old machines (we emphasize having access to the old machines, which still work, for people to have direct contact with the experience) .. and end up asking me where they can get their own. I'd love to have the MEGA 65, ZX Spectrum Next, Fenix256 .. and maybe a reinvented Wizzard? .. to offer them on their way out ..
You don't need to merge upstream! Its your source, your build, your rules.
>Many hard problems are solved by the thinking deeply about a problem, consistently over the long period of time.

Your brain isn't any different from physical muscles; it needs rest and can be overextended. Muscles need time to repair and reinforce tendons after a workout. Meanwhile, practice requires rest so your mind has time to form connections and store new knowledge in long term memory.

There's been many situations where I threw myself at a problem for over a day, only to wake up the next morning and solve my blocker in under an hour.
> ... what assurances do you have they would not comply ...

While compliance is certainly not optional, the value of your compliance is highly dependent on your technology. (The authors mention this in the article by writing that Apple does not collect the same kind of data as Google.)

I think it is like choosing VPN providers. You never know if they were involved in compromising their customers until they are caught compromising their customers.

So if you have a choice between two similar VPN providers, and one of them is known to be involved in compromising their customers, you use the other one.

I do not see how this would be any different with search.
