This is exactly how I feel about Rust.

There are some good ideas in there, hiding behind a horrible language design. I am waiting for someone to provide a more developer friendly alternative with the simplicity of C or Go.

The vast majority of women I've spoken to all take the same view of tech. "you sit on a computer all day and 'write code'?! How dull!"

I'm not entirely sure that the gender discrepancy here is significantly more than reflective of gender preferences, from my very limited sample space.

This poll will have a predictable outcome. I'd rather see a poll of women on why they're not in tech - no interest, peer pressure, "boys club", etc.

>However, clients still need to ask the directory for information about a specific onion address, which would again allow mass collection of onion addresses. With V3 onion services, this is prevented by using key derivation to derive a daily-rotated identifier ("blinded public key"). [0]

This is the information I have. It's not possible for a relay to know an .onion address like it was with v2. Could you please link to something that proofs the contrary?

I don't care. Anybody can use whatever pronouns they want to me. Although I care about the feelings of others who may think different (so I avoid behaving in a way which might hurt them), I personally believe any (not just gender) self-identification is a pointless lie.

I voted for non-binary but it isn't exactly what I mean, as far as I know. I would rather vote for N/A, NULL, ANY or something like that if there was an option.

Three body mechanics leads to some weird solutions.
Nope.

Libraries are archiving physical stuff. Digital stuff is pretty hit-or-miss.

Worse, digital stuff is owned by a monopoly that's actively making it harder to find or get anything online, when it is made available to libraries at all.

Add on top the problem with DRM - if there are no physical libraries (bad idea) suddenly, how many libraries should there be? Who gets to make that decision? DRM is predicated on not letting everyone get a copy, but this flies directly in the face of the point of libraries, where everyone may share a copy. You either can have infinite libraries in which case DRM is redundant and should be removed, or you can only have very few, in which case DRM is literally nothing other than a tool of oppression, and should be removed (by executing by firing squad the cranks hoisting their vision of a only-rich-people-get-stuff world).

There are ways in this post-physical copy world of making sure creators get paid still, but lets just say, the incentives are just not there.
Many of your questions have answers in TFM: https://docs.oxide.computer/guides/introduction
From listening to their talks they've actually gotten pretty good direct responses from AMD and AMD likes them quite a bit. They've done what no other system integrator has done and brought up the CPU without using AMD's AGESA firmware bootloader. By simplifying the system they've reduced the workload on what they need to handle.

The talk here talks about that from about 32:15 : https://www.osfc.io/2022/talks/i-have-come-to-bury-the-bios-...

As to your second point, unless AMD somehow becomes supply constrained and only wants to ship to their most important customers first I don't see a future where there would be any lag. Again, the delay this time is from how long it took from company start until product release. Future delays will be based on the time it takes from them getting early development parts to released products, which they could even possibly beat Dell to market on given the smaller company size and IMO more skilled employees.

> It would be surprising if they don't run into some nasty issue that leaves their customers 6+ months behind on servers or switches at some point.

I mean they've already hit tons of nasty issues, for example finding two zero-day vulnerabilities in their chosen security processor. They've shown they can work around issues pretty well.
The linked article was explicitly stating a philosophical argument in favor of effective altruism as a good philosophy to live by. I see this equivalent to eugenics - the ends justify the means, afterall.

If we are going to live in a society where some people pretend they can calculate the benefit of all their actions, then I am free to say how absolutely fucked that entire process is, and point out the real world damage that is has explicitly caused.

If someone was openly a National Socialist, we wouldn't have any problem pointing out the problems the Nazis caused. But with EAs who recently lit tens of billions of dollars on fire to buy penthouses on Caribbean islands and castles in rural England, we have to give them a pass? Excuse me if I'm not open to listening to their thoughtful commentary.

It's a good read. I enjoyed the data analysis and his snarky wit about a few things. I enjoyed him finding out he could apply to another hospital and doing it "out of spite."

I know he wants to encourage you to donate a kidney. I still wish we tried harder to heal the "original equipment from the manufacturer" we are all born with. I have been on the record a long time with this opinion. I get a lot of hatred for it, though I have a condition that frequently results in being a transplant recipient and my only wish here is for better baseline care for people like me instead of razzle-dazzle headlines about flashy "tech" solutions.

Good solutions tend to be boring. I want a boring life where I just get to have good health and not an "exciting" one where I get to tell you how I was dying until some kind stranger died in a motorcycle accident at a shockingly young age and let me have their leftover body parts. (Because people like me need body parts that are a little hard to spare as an act of charity.)

> could be fined

Haven't you noticed that there seems to be an 'understanding' of sorts reached between tech companies and governments; governments come through every now and then with eyewatering fines, the tech companies pay the fines and continue to do whatever they want.

The government is not going to save you here. Unless they do an India and outright slap bans on firms that won't obey the law (good for them) and I somehow don't see that happening in the US.
The article is quite nice. However, it glosses over the primary problem with shaders.

A shader is a pain in the ass that most programs and applications don't want.

3D stuff likes triangles and the GPUs are happy to slot into that abstraction. Shaders are useful to interpolate over those triangles.

Triangles are mostly garbage for everybody else. 2D rendering wants paths. Font rendering wants paths or pixmaps. GUI's would work much better with paths and pixmaps. Compositors really want pixmaps. Video decoders really want pixmaps and parallel rendering.

What everybody non-3D wants is rectangular pixmaps and access to computation directly to those pixmaps. And GPUs don't like this very much, and shaders don't map very well to this.

> 1. Right to freedom of speech: violated by the Communications Act 2003

Freedom of Expression is most obviously defined in the UK in the 1998 Human Rights Act, which goes on to specifically state that the right can "be subject to formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society".

The 1986 Public Order Act had already made it an offence to use “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviours that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm or distress”.

Oh, and the 2003 Communications Act was a fairly benign modernisation of the Malicious Communications Act of 1988, which includes this language: "[it is an offence to send a letter] which is, in whole or part, of an indecent or grossly offensive nature[…]"

It is a mistake to believe that your right to freedom of expression has meaningfully changed since 2003.

> 3. Right to freedom of assembly

Again, there are a wide range of longstanding limitations and conditions surrounding this right which are occasionally revised and refined to keep them current (and to avoid a situation where we govern using something akin to constitutional originalism, which is a clusterfuck). It is not possible to avoid refining laws in this manner, and it is not a right being taken away from you.

Specifically in this case, there are multiple provisions in the Public Order Act of 1986 (actually maybe a 1991 revision glancing at it now) to allow the police to forbid, restrict, and dissolve public processions and gatherings at their discretion, including for a failure to notify the police of the intent to gather. Police have long been able to use these as the basis to dissolve nuisance gatherings and protests which cause significant disruption or noise. Your right to peacefully gather and protest has never afforded you the right to cause a significant or sustained nuisance to others who also enjoy rights which the government must protect.
e/acc is short for effective accelerationism and not effective altruism. Those groups are interested in very different things.
I'd rather not be mistaken for a populist. Certainly elites have been pushing society forward.

Democracy is about accepting the fact that people know their own needs better than everyone else does, and that they should be free to express those needs, and to elect representatives that will fight for those needs. Even when we are talking about an illiterate population.

Personally, given recent times, I think the political axis is bullshit, because the real divide, that's driving polarisation, is between liberalism and autocracy. The allure of autocracy is getting stronger, many feel the need for someone wise to force the plebs into doing things "for their own good". Just one example — vaccination certificates, which in my country did not work, and effectively discriminated against the poor.

Well, maybe a two row EV shouldn't weigh 9000lb?

EVs are subject to their own form of the tyranny of the rocket equation, because the weight is dominated by fuel (the battery). The more battery you have, the more battery you need to haul that battery around, and so on.

So they are the perfect platform for minimalist cars and plug-in hybrid setups... but instead everyone has decided they need to make giant, heavy, hilariously expensive luxury pure EVs.
> Everyone knows we need a systemic solution, and everyone knows what that solution will eventually have to be: financial compensation for kidney donors.

Another solution would be to tackle type 2 diabetes, since a big amount of kidney failures is caused by that. Apparently, 1/3 of Americans are at risk: https://www.health.com/cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic-syndr...

Having worked for a few years in the diabetes space, I‘ve been hearing that cheaper CGMs are coming from the big players, apparently for <= $1 a day. This will allow people with diabetes to keep their time in the ideal BG range longer, reducing risk for kidney disease _significantly_.
I never said that they weren’t/wouldn’t be.

But that wasn’t the point I was responding to. The point I was responding to was that we need to address 40,000 traffic deaths per year, to which I said it doesn’t seem to be the most direct route there.

Just because self driving cars are safer in some situations doesn’t mean that we will inevitably have that result within a reasonable timeframe and level of investment.

Besides the types of things that reduce human caused accidents would lead to benefits for self driving cars: slower speeds, fewer conflicts, etc.
Over 70 million adults in the country are having some sort of chronic pain. Realign chiropractic treatment is one of the best options to ease the pain, whether neck or lower back pain. It generally focuses on the spinal cord, but it even helps treat other body parts. Many studies have also reported high levels of satisfaction with this treatment.

There is this story:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2477708/

The conventional approach for radiation protection is based on the ICRP's linear, no threshold (LNT) model of radiation carcinogenesis, which implies that ionizing radiation is always harmful, no matter how small the dose. But a different approach can be derived from the observed health effects of the serendipitous contamination of 1700 apartments in Taiwan with cobalt-60 (T1/2 = 5.3 y). This experience indicates that chronic exposure of the whole body to low-dose-rate radiation, even accumulated to a high annual dose, may be beneficial to human health.

What's arbitrary about sentience, which is scientifically established?
This looks like the moment of truth for Waymo. Waymo had self-driving for years but rolled out slowly as they prioritized safety. Competitors seemingly had caught up pretty quickly, the space got crowded and for a long time people were thinking Waymo moved too slowly.

But now it seems their strategy is paying off, at least in terms of developing an acceptable solution. It still remains whether they can monetize it well, but other people will have to more or less adopt Waymo's model or they won't have a business.

Knowing about software, if the key differential factor is how well you can handle a long tail of edge cases, it'll take years before others can compete with today's Waymo in fully autonomous self-driving cars. If you don't have an architecture and culture to obsess about edge cases, it could even be easier to tear down the software and rebuild.

There's usually a mix of statistical models (some traditional time series methods, some neural network based) and mathematical models (i.e. SIR models). None of them fully capture all the dynamics we need to.
JP Post (one of the major postal companies) used to be a government entity. Now, it's a private business with the government having a much less share and less responsibility.

Similar to the railway companies. It's interesting how these things just work out either way in Japan.

Another note:
If you forget something from a hotel in 1 place, you can always have them send it to where you are going too (着払い; payment-at-arrival).

Sometimes, it's hard to find legitimate complaints when living in Japan.
Notes on survey bias.

HN community is international and from [1] it is around 3.5M monthly unique users. A representative sample would need to be stratified since it is unlikely that — for example — the proportion of female readers will be the same across countries.

The poll would need to run for a long time since the daily and monthly unique figures are different by order of magnitude.

Further, there are many times more lurkers than posters [1], and only a fraction of posters will answer this poll (I will not, for example). I would expect something like a >99% non-response, implying strong self selection amongst responders.

The upshot will be that inference from this poll to the HN population will likely be biased.

> Not all countries are like this; in America, there's no requirement to carry ID at all times, for instance.

US law requires aliens to carry their 'certificate of alien registration' or 'alien registration receipt card' 8 U.S. Code § 1304 (e) [1]

US citizens have no such requirement. And, afaik, have no requirement to have ID at all. Professional medical providers participating in a birth have an obligation to register the child under state laws, but not all births are connected to professional medical providers. It's really convenient to have a birth certificate, so most citizens have their births registered, but it's not required.
