Abuse of nitrous oxide is also dangerous to people's health and today we are sending a clear signal to young people that there are consequences for misusing drugs. Both users and dealers will face the full force of the law for their actions."

Why not ban alcohol and tobacco then ?

Critics have previously warned against a ban, saying it could stop users seeking medical help, but the government says it is clamping down on antisocial behaviour and drug taking in public.

Again alcohol does this

I wish the government would focus on decarbonisation and real crime and mind their own fucking business when it comes to recreational drug use…

It will bring them back to have their wealth arbitrarily expropriated? Yeah I doubt it. Never mind that it's unclear what it means to "deny them access to the US market" when these people are acting via working for / owning corporations. You're going to deny big corporations access to US markets based on the financial profiles of their owners? You're going to expect foreigners in general to surrender all their wealth in order to access US markets? Good luck enforcing that.

This hit the mark 24 months ago but China is in a major decline since then and its strategic ambitions surely must be reviewed by the CCP in that light.

In the past few years China had ripped apart its own economy and made most of the world into its enemy, as a result vast numbers of foreign companies have pulled out of China and there is mass unemployment. The real estate market has been shown to be a bubble and is crashing.

China has ripped up its tech sector and let any billionaires know they exist only at the pleasure of the CCP as witnessed by Jack Ma.

The good days are over for China. If there’s a war it’s because China is failing, not because it is succeeding.

The USA has more to fear from itself than China in terms of its world dominance.

> He imagines a Libertarian-esque world where technology solves all of our problems, poverty and climate change are eradicated, and an honest meritocracy reigns supreme.

IMO there's a kind of vague mythical "Humble Libertarian Utopia" idea I've encountered a few times, where it is presented as an attainable unambitious situation of Regular Joe... but when you actually sum up all the features, it represents quite a huge amount of net-worth, more than the median in any country.

The particulars vary, but to paint a picture... For the core a ramshackle old (and therefore humble) homestead which somehow has enough property around it that there are never noise-complaints and where trespassers or would-be thieves are pretty obvious and shoot-able. Income happens from a job of unspecified yearly income and reliability (but somehow still "average.") Next layer on things which are below "disaster prepper" but near to "enough independence to create a bargaining position", like a water well (from a suspiciously reliable aquifer) and a generator (fuel storage and costs not mentioned) and a reserve of guns/ammo.

Then the proprietor either has legal training, or a law-firm on speed-dial to validate or create individualized contracts for interacting with other people, in lieu of various currently-standardized laws. They also have the free-time and resources to go and fight things in court when needed.

It may extend further in various directions depending on the situation being discussed, such as an implied ability to feed oneself from the land for a period of time, without much consideration of the costs of owning farm-equipment or where the human labor comes from.

None of it is actually impossible given enough money, but tallying up each of those "everyone is independent together" features and you get something like post-scarcity economy, no matter how much the protagonist wears denim jeans and flannel shirts! I would not be surprised if the extremely wealthy like Andressen are primed to assume that vision is practical for everyone else.

> I have never experienced that I need to think in a specific language in order to do something better (well, I only have two choices).

I found that for me, certain thoughts "flow better" in one language, and others in another. And this makes sense, because thinking is, in large part, exploring the web of associations and connotations, going down the gradient of what "feels right"[0] - and since those annotations and connotations have different structures in different languages, so will the thoughts drift in different directions, take different paths, even if they end up in the same place.

You mentioned "non-free paid" in your original comment, so it is an issue.

That official definition is problematic because it uses libre/gratis interchangeably, and in some cases actually requires the software to be given away gratis ("for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge").

I'm not able to see the license of Grayjay, but assuming it allows libre distribution and modification, it would still grant the user the most important freedoms of the strict OSS definition.

I find it counterproductive that the official definition even mentions software cost, which has nothing to do with the actual freedoms that benefit the user, and in turn harms the development of OSS.

You seem to think that the article is against technological development. It's not. It's a critique against the libertarian hyper-capitalist model that a16z argues for in his manifesto which arguably brings downsides with it in technological advancement.

You seem to be completely missing what the article is arguing. It's not about technology, it's about responsible technological development - where the value from these developments don't end up in the hands of a centralised few at the cost of the many. Which is pretty much what a16z is arguing for.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Waterstones have been pushing the “tat” further from the entrance and really are focused on being what bookstores were pre-Amazon.

My local Waterstones is the last surviving dedicated book store in the city and is really a destination as much as anything else. They run a lot of activities in their coffee shop too (book clubs and such).

I was certain covid would have been the final nail in the coffin but their renewed focus really is working - they’re thriving in a way they haven’t been in 20 years.

> In particular the political process should work in reverse: people voice issues, and their governing bodies come up with viable solutions. That's their job.

I get what you mean but the governing bodies of the people are the people. In a democracy, we are in charge of our own institutions, at least in theory.

I agree that we can't lay the full burden for solving injustice on the people affected by that injustice, and I think finding solutions for injustice is something that everyone should take part in, and there is a particular responsibility for those with the most amount of power to act. But often the people most affected by injustice are the ones who can see the flaws in the existing system best, and who have the best ideas as to where a solution might come from.

I'm convinced that conventional businessmen [1] have trained themselves to look in the mirror and see righteousness. Businessmen like this operate on a high level of abstraction, not particularly close to the work being done nor customers being served and oftentimes wholly out-of-touch with their own actions' secondary/tertiary impact – so they don't really know if they have a net-positive impact, if ABC action is net positive, if XYZ action is ultimately appreciated by the public. They just don't know. But they still need to feel a certain way about their life and behavior, so they've chosen a generous outlook: what they do is righteous, everything they do is righteous. After all, aren't they "leaders"? It's a bit circular, and entirely irrational, but I can imagine it would be hard to be human at such an abstraction level without developing some sort of similar delusion.

This is based on my own exposure: the businessmen I meet genuinely believe that they have the solutions to problems they hardly understand. They assume that their own action is in the right direction, with near-zero evidence supporting that assertion. To me, that's incredible.

[1] – Yes, Marc Andreessen now sits within this category of "conventional businessmen," having himself defined and proliferated many of the current conventions.

One thing that's cool with Nushell is being able to wrap wrappers around existing commandline tools to get structured output (so a wrapper around `git branch` could give me structured data).

What I kind of want to go along with this is a (for the lack of a better word) query planner. Let me query structured data, but only pull in stuff as I need it, lazily. That way my structured data can be very detailed, but I only end up pulling the data I need on each iteration. That avoids pulling _everything_ from disk in structured wrappers.

There's probably a nice middle ground here but it's the one thing that's holding me back from writing a _lot_ of very detailed wrapper code for Nushell and the like.
You've been downvoted but you're right. Banning drugs doesn't stop consumption.

However, drugs bans can shift people from safer drugs to borderline-legal but unsafer drugs. It also prevents people getting purer drugs, leading to unsafe mixtures. And there is a chilling affect on safe consumption information, as well as accessing medical treatment.

I went down the same rabbit hole not too long ago. My top two:
1. Distributed Systems for Fun and Profit [0]: Introduction to all the core concepts and (about as importantly) has a reading list you can use to learn more at the end of each chapter.

2. MIT 6.5840 [1]: The MIT distributed systems class has links to all readings, lectures, and even assignments (openly available git repos you can clone). I worked my way through most of it and it was excellent. Read the paper, watch the video lecture (students in the videos asked good questions I would have wanted to ask), and do the assignments. It was far more approachable than I anticipated but very rigorous.

Both are excellent. I did the first one and then most of the second and learned a lot. In either case, reading papers was really illuminating (especially when paired with the context form tje lecture or the book).

Note that this is for a very hard cancer to treat, and no one was expecting the great results seen here. Upcoming studies will focus on other cancer types where we expect results to be even better.

In addition to malignant mesothelioma, Phase II studies are ongoing in patients with malignant melanoma, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. The topline data from the malignant melanoma and head and neck cancer trials are expected during the first and second half of 2024. UV1 is a patented, proprietary technology owned by Ultimovacs."

> Imagine a bubble expanding at the speed of light bringing everything inside it under complete optimal control.

Here's a sci-fi plot idea: a bubble expanding at near-lightspeed is bringing everything inside it under complete optimal control. Lagging behind it a couple years is another bubble, also expanding at near-lightspeed - that of false vacuum collapse. Will the zone of optimal control find a way to stop the nothingness that comes just behind it from consuming the universe?
That sounds like an awful dose to have. I think I'd rather just be a happy, non-anxious layabout than that. Did you have to go through a phase like that while weaning yourself off of anxiety as a driver of your own productivity?
This system probably isn't very comparable to the Starlink space lasers. Because of scale, Starlink is very heavily optimized for cost, while a bespoke deep space terminal probably doesn't even have cost as a factor.

Isn't ths following incorrect.... somehow? Something doesn't line up.

----

Reading the article I found this:

parts of Malawi saw a maximum temperature of 43C (109F), compared with an average of nearly 25C (77F)

As I expected the actual temperature increase was 32 °F, not 68 °F.

---

Except the error should have been 32 (which you go on to explain, because we add 32 to start a conversion) and the correct temp difference should have been 36 (20 * 1.8) which is shown later in the article.

I can see getting that wrong, but the actual temps quoted seems to correctly portray 32 opposed to 36 like we would expect.

Just rounding errors or some other oddness?

That's my solution in some places too. I generally want US spellings of words (especially in anything related to programming!) so "en_US language, Norwegian units/time/etc, but US number format" is my preferred set-up, but "UK everything" is an alright approximation of that for software which doesn't have that much specificity.
On Windows, it has a very specific meaning, write to address 0. Which is by default a no-access page, causing an access violation exception, jumping to a user-provided exception handler if present, or 'crashing the program' if not.
