Sort of, but the communities you're describing have a lot more likelihood of being stuck in the place they are. Stuck means less likelihood of people finding the right place for them, because they have less to choose from. Better automated transport infra means being less stuck by virtue of having less time to go further distances, and in better conditions.

Even in high density car-less environments with great transport, you've still got all the attention and friction entailed with being on public transport and last mile issues walking to/from it (effectively traveling through 'far community' to get to 'close community'). This means more need to be co-located to avoid these through 'far community' journeys, which limits ones options for finding their best life.

Meanwhile radically different automated transport infra could mean things like 'you walk into the elevator-like transport connected to your house and 5 minutes later you're at your friends house'. No crazy subway, no need for attention, just hop in the pod and do what you'd already be doing at home like reading or work.

This means you could go from ~20,000 people within 10 mins of you to ~100,000 (or insert your number). And ultimately this means more ways that we could optionally have larger social units, because there would be more 'space' for them to live within 10 mins of you.

E.g. if my friends wanted to all live right next to each other they'd need to find enough land that it'd be like 3 hours away and a huge inconvenience for anyone living in a city. So the only people who would do that are crazy committed to the commune life, and thus quite distant culturally too. If it was 30 mins away instead due to better transport, culturally we'd see a lot more mixing of different types of lifestyles.

I think all this represents a new way of living. It's not near future stuff I admit, but driverless tech is the next on the 'move atoms' tech tree that brings us toward these opportunities.
Whenever I read anything from these people I just keep thinking "Lies, damn lies, and statistics." They rely on "the math checks out" as an excuse for basically doing whatever they want. Here is some real-world math: how about "the math doesn't check out because people will look at your castle and think you're full of shit?"

Try moving file explorer windows with your display set to different refresh rates. “Blur” might be an incorrect description, but it’s how I would describe it at least.
I also speak Serbo-Croatian and travelled the Balkans extensively. I think to call it just a subculture is a bit harsh. There's definitely a significant chunk of the population that does miss Yugoslavia and bratstvo i jedinstvo. In my experience, the sentiment is actually strongest in Bosnia, which makes sense, as it is the most mixed of the successor states and also the one that suffered the most from petty nationalism.

Personally, I also think that Yugoslavia was a good idea that was killed by right wing gangsters. We're all much more similar than we're different and we should focus on that instead of on what Freud called the narcissism of small differences. If Munich and Berlin can be in the same country, why can't Zagreb and Belgrade?

We speak the same language (even tho some don't want to admit it - I usually use "po našu" when referring to the language, meaning "in our language", thus avoiding the nationalist names and pettiness), eat mostly the same foods, have similar mentalities etc.

I agree with you on the ethnic Albanians though - they never made sense in Yugoslavia, the state of the South Slavs. Kosovo should be part of Albania and the Serbs need to shut up about it already.

Why does being a minor celebrity mean you shouldn't donate your kidney?

You don't think most Americans are "psychologically suited" to donate a kidney? Again, I don't think you would apply this level of paternalism to other situations. Would you tell the median person that they aren't "psychologically suited" to have a kid and therefore aren't allowed to? That's a dramatically more impactful and psychologically stressful decision, but we admit that the person best suited to make it is the person living it.

I think you are just trying to justify a dumb bureaucratic decision that doesn't respect the suffering of people who actually need kidneys.
It's not that simple. See for example the Administrative Procedures Act.
The fact that it can be fixed doesn't matter if its currently not fixed. Those are the two biggest budget items, so it's what the government is spending the most money on.

> When I joined, polls showed it to be more like 98 percent male. So non-male membership/participation has possibly quintupled in the 14+ years I've been here.

I mention in a separate comment that there is strong reasons to believe this survey is unrepresentative of the HN population, but say it was representative both right now and 14+ years ago. Here are a few things worth baring in mind when making the above inference:

1. Did HN cover the same population now that it did 14+ years ago?

2. Did the survey 14+ years ago include the same options? Were participants equally likely to identify with the given options?

3. The sampling mean in both cases will have significant error. Differences ought to be outside of at least 2 standard deviations to be considered significant.
One way to use raw python/javascript/bash on top of a postgres scheduler is to run a single container of https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill. It only requires a PG connection and does not require a pg extension.
It implements a scheduler that is implemented on top of PG and can run any of the aforementioned language in a very practical and observable interface.
"Emoticon" used to be the general term and was also often applied to smileys in forums (which are more closely related to the kind of custom "emojis" you still find in places like Slack or Twitch). In those cases the term has definitely been superceded by "emoji" but this is due to them being hard to distinguish from real Unicode emojis.
I know one end-user who would very much want a browser setting for default compute limit for domains / pages, after which browser will start asking confirmation, as described in the above comments. Web pages could also ask for such permission upfront, using e.g. a Meta tag.

Such a setting whould also reduce malicious crypto mining possibilities.
It's easy to say in retrospect, but it's not like all the movement ever did in it's entire existence was buy a single castle. Do you really think they were expecting EA to explode in the public consciousness after the SBF thing and to have all of their line-items exhaustively audited for what could make the best outrage-bait article? That's quite a black swan event.
>"For example,

none of the sequences starting with a packet sent by the remote peer triggers blocking

, confirming that censorship is likely not symmetric with respect to inside and outside Russia. Such behavior makes remote measurement extremely challenging.

We also note that sequences that contain a remote-sent SYN packet can “un-block” a connection despite the presence of a blocking trigger."

If the above is accurate -- then that would mean that outbound connections (from an arbitrary IP and/or associated domain) are apparently not blocked, or can open up a block if one exists -- but incoming connections (to an arbitrary IP and/or associated domain) could very well be blocked...

In other words, if we assume the article to be 100% correct and wholly true -- then a potentially important asymmetry (inbound vs. outbound connection) would indeed seem to exist there, as the article notes...

It appears to be a specific provision of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 as modified by the Trade Act of 1974.

Not wanting to sound too disrespectful (although I AM getting cranky about this issue), but I find a lot of open source projects on github that are at least moderately complex (which a game engine certainly is), are useless as-is. There is no documentation and it would likely be easier to just write your own code from scratch. I can see how if you get stuck with say quaternions then you may dive into another persons project to get some tips but even then, without documentation you're better off just learning the math from a book and rewriting from scratch.

If a user asks for the software to nag people and then the developers make the software start nagging proper then it is the fault of the user for suggesting that behaviour be implemented.

Or there could be an opt out in settings like how it already works.

This is what I mean by the (imo) unfounded cynicism about SpaceX. Failed 3 or 4 times, kinda sorta got one. That's a bad record for a certain type of engineering; but not for SpaceX, who is intentionally trying to launch fast, fail fast, and iterate.

It took _20_ launches to get a successful Falcon 9 upright landing. By 2021, across 31 launches they had a single landing failure. Across all of 2022 and 2023 YTD, 137 launches, their success rate is 100%.

By comparison, the shuttle program had 2 failures across 135 launches.

SpaceX is achieving higher levels of reliability for way less cost than anyone else.

Failure is part of the process and the process is clearly working.

I Brought Back 'Wall of Hunger' – A Free iOS Game
I remember the golden days of iOS gaming back in 2011 when every game had its unique charm. But one game stood out for me, and that was "Fruitiny." It was a delightful mix of classic card matching, but with a twist – you could reveal cards with just a swipe of your finger and match them lightning fast. It was a ton of fun, easy to pick up, yet incredibly challenging to master, especially when the clock was ticking. The level designs were crafted to keep you hooked, always craving for just one more try.

Sadly, "Fruitiny" disappeared from the App Store years ago, leaving a void that I couldn't ignore. That's when I decided to take matters into my own hands and create "Wall of Hunger." I've added a unique twist by introducing enemies that hunger for your cards, and if you don't feed them in time, well, let's just say they won't be too friendly. To up the ante, I've introduced a real-time ranking system, so you can see where you stand among players from all over the world.

The best part? "Wall of Hunger" is my way of sharing the excitement and nostalgia of those classic iOS games, and I'm offering it completely FREE. No annoying ads, no subscriptions, just pure gaming joy. I want to challenge you and players everywhere to beat the ranks, and I'm committed to adding more levels, new environments, and even fiercer enemies in the future.

Let's relive the magic of those unforgettable iOS games together. Download "Wall of Hunger" now, and let's see if you've got what it takes to conquer the leaderboards! Quick preview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnTgTLzLtBk

Yeah. Sure. No scandal. Just give it a few weeks so that the avatar gets reacquired by deepfake artists and they will see if it can't be involved in scandals.

Should that happen, their only defense will be to emphasize on the fact that it is a fake person, and half the population of the country (those who couldn't tell it wasn't a human) will have a negative affect about that company.

Edit: grammar.
Whenever state was dominated by Serbs is debatable, given that Tito was Croat. I would argue that communism did us all great deal of damage and that Yugoslavia was mistake.

But implying that Serbs committed atrocities against other people during peaceful times is simply not true. Once civil war started, atrocities were committed by all sides, not just Serbs. I have lost family members in war and I have friends who as kids had to escape from Sarajevo in early days of war to save their they lives (while their only crime was being born as Serbs).

Unfortunately, today everything is presented in simple black/white, good vs bad guys way without ever scratching under the surface.
it's not either/or, tho

Thanks for sharing! I started learning about the Godot Engine recently, and I was just beginning to fiddle with shaders. This was an excellent article to give me a few more points to start with. But, oh boy, the curve is steep.
So, you're not supposed to buy stuff for your hobby nor build stuff for your hobby? I think it depends on how you define "the hobby" - is it really just the part where you use your equipment? I find that too narrow. A good counter example could perhaps be table top wargaming, e.g. Warhammer and the likes. Surely, people who call that their hobby like to play the (various different) games. But a lot of people love building and painting their miniature armies just as much. And some people hate it. So what's the scoop? If you enjoy the building and painting of new minis more than actually playing the game they're made for, you're doing it wrong?

Look, hobbies are for your enjoyment. If buying gear or trying to build it yourself gives you joy, more power to you.

I for one like to buy power tools just as much as the next guy. And often times it's hard to justify falling for a good sales offer when you don't really have a specific need for that tool at that point in time. But on the flip side, there have been quite a few moments where I was tinkinering about with some home improvement projects and a tool I might have bought a long time ago and never really needed since came in handy just at that very moment. And so I was glad I had it. Especially since I don't live very close to the next DIY store. So, yeah, is that a good justification for spending money on power tools? Probably not - but it's what I like, and so I do it.

The acquisition of gear (be it buying or building) is not a means to an end - it is part of the hobby.

Oh I wish more languages adopted this. It is nice to be able to name the externally visible parameters such that the invocation is natural to read (eg. DB.select(~from: userTable)), but it is better to have more explicit names on the implementation side (eg. tableName)
Definitely agree with everything you wrote. I just moved out of a major German city into a small town because I lost my apartment due to Eigenbedarf, then was unable to find a new place in the city at an affordable price in the time I had. Had to get a car again for the first time in 10 years.
I didn’t say that. I think anybody should be able to donate their kidneys, provided that they are deemed competent to do so. Famous people and controversial people can be competent, and Scott almost certainly is.

As a society, we treat organ donation differently because it comes with significant opportunity for abuse and regret.

The sole point of my comment was to highlight how prominent EA writers can demonstrate a hypocritical blindness in a way that dispassionate observation can reveal. I’m not especially interested in UCSF’s actual decision.

> Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS). A person’s insatiable urge to buy equipment for their art or hobby, distracting them from actually practicing said art or hobby.

> It’s driven in part by the belief that new gear will improve one’s art or performance, e.g. I don’t sound like Jimi Hendrix because I don’t have the same effects pedal he used.

Bit tangent, but I think one should just embrace it and say “my hobby is collecting guitar gear, and my niche is things that Jimi Hendrix used or things that make sounds like he did”

There’s no shame in a hobby collecting and being honest with yourself might bring some clarity to your life.
Legitimate interest doesn't mean absolutely essential.

The OSS version obviously benefits from the telemetry (to the extent telemetry is useful) because it's downstream of the version developed based on the telemetry.
> Destroying art whether it be books, paintings, sculptures, or otherwise is emotionally reactionary at best and totalitarian at worst.

You must surely understand that isn't true.

I destroy art pretty often. I've thrown away old books. I've tossed art posters I no longer find interesting. I've junked sculptures that were past their prime, and sculptures in old awards I no longer wanted to keep.

Parents often throw away the art their small kids made.

Architecture is art - can we no longer destroy buildings?

Industrial design is art - can I no longer throw away old equipment?

You can't really think only the creators of those works have the right to destroy it.

I suppose you'll argue that mass-produced art is different. As a reminder, many of the Civil War statues (not necessarily this one) were mass-produced in the early 1900s, and again in the 1950s, by reactionary white supremacists spreading a false narrative. https://www.npr.org/2017/08/20/544266880/confederate-statues...

But even with a unique piece of art, we can look to the infamous story of the statue of Juan de Oñate in New Mexico. Its foot was cut off to highlight Oñate's massacre of 800 citizens of Acoma Pueblo, and the foot amputation of 24 of the survivors.

How would that be "emotionally reactionary" or "totalitarian"? I think it adds to the art, as a reminder of the actual history.

Correct...to low earth orbit, it isn't.

But we aren't talking about LEO deployment here. We are talking about a flight to Mars. And we won't be deploying that paylod in space, we have to land it, with the ship, with zero support structures on the ground.

> They live on Earth before the cave is ready. Why send them at the same time?

Then please show me the robotic infrastructure that is capable, with no pre-existing support structures, of building a sealed habitat, after self-unloading from a landed spaceship, and self-assembling itself from it's packaged form. All steps have to be done with no human help on site.

Show me that this works here on Earth. And then show me that same thing, but this time, any remote control has a 6-minute delay (and that's still generous, because 3 light minutes is the lowest possible distance between the 2 planets), and it has to be done at in an antarctic dry valley.

Then we can talk about that working on Mars.
I've read literature that the hormone fluctuations resulting from pregnancy, and from parenting regardless of sex actually trigger the destruction of particular parts of the brain in humans.

This is a long shot, but I've always wondered if it might be genetically related to the part of the brain responsible for "abandon one of the babies to escape predator" type reasoning that you see in animals with litters. Something that would have been selected out of human evolution fairly quickly.
The problem here is that, in order to believe this, we would have to accept that "the castle was the cheapest choice". There are near-infinite ways to present (and omit) numbers in a way that makes your point and your biased choice look like the best one, especially for smart people with a messiah complex. Unless there is someone on the other side actively interested in refuting it, they can massage the numbers as much as they want. It is reasonable for an average person to doubt that buying a castle was indeed the cheapest choice they had.
I think it’s saying that due to the supply chain issues, they were using up whatever random leftover stock they had of components from previous years.
