No writer should be trusted blindly but i don’t thjnk you meant that literally ;) just for others to see. all information should have some verification even from trusted sources.

on the author though, can you share a bit about the subject and the author’s participation in android dev? i’ve never touched android anything dev wise so i’m not even sure if the topic being discussed is a new and unexplored territory, explored but still evolving, or if it’s something the community has settled on with plenty of data to back their conclusion. similarly im not sure if the author is really skilled enough to have controversial opinions or if it’s more they’re alright but excitable.

how would you position the two points just from your point of view?

i get the impression the author of the article is controversial and also opinionated i. “unusual” ways — for me, such persons are interesting to hear from even if a lot of their ideas are non-sense or fanciful. “out-there” ideas often are just out there for no reason, but sometimes there’s gold in such ideas, or good thoughts and starting points for actual golden ones.

wiuod you personally at least listen to this author just in case there’s some gold or are they very much so just in their own world?

Easy band-aid: hide all blue check-mark people. It filters out exactly those running twitter as a business.

It will also revive the comments (because checkmarks float to the top and now you quickly scroll past them)

I wrote a userscript that does this https://pastebin.com/hfw8eQcf

It highlights and optionally collapses "seen" (scrolled past) and "blue checkmark" tweets. If you don't want the seen thing I could patch that out for you.

Yeah; I was wondering how they get the mirrored part of the balloon to take on a parabolic shape, rather than spherical; is that done by manipulating the balloon material somehow? Or are they settling for spherical as a good-enough approximation?
(1) is the generally accepted meaning. The others need different words.
> That is simply not true.

Yes that is true, as shown by the link I provided. Methane/LOX is simply one of the go-to options for liquid fuel rocket engines these days, whether or not these engines are intended to go to Mars or not.

And btw. SpaceX themselves market Startship as a transport vehicle "to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond." https://www.spacex.com/vehicles/starship/

> the only current realistic shot at our species being multi-planetary.

I'm curious: How does building a base on Mars, that is 100% dependent on regular support from Earth to survive, contributes neither resources nor self-sustaining living space to our species, cannot terraform the planet, and cannot serve as a backup in case Earth goes boom, make our species "multi-planetary"?

A multi-planetary species has permanent settlements on more than one planet or moon, that are either self-sustaining, or contributing (resources), or both. These settlements serve a role beyond bragging rights and exploration. A Mars base, insofar as we could currently make it happen, doesn't do that.

If a 15th century nation brought 5 guys to some bare-rock-island in the middle of the Atlantic and left them there with the promise to drop by every now and then to bring them food, that doesn't make them a colonial power.

> free of NASA's hope-ending bloat

Funny that you mention NASA, because they actually do have a plan to make humanity multi-planetary: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/artemis/

Other than Mars, the moon is near enough to actually make permanent bases feasible, which could provide a platform for further space exploration (Launching something from 1/6th of earths gravity uses a lot less energy). Luna is near enough to support a colony, including rotating crew, and it actually has a resource that could become useful in the not-so-far future, that could be worth exploiting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3#Moon

> > I wouldn't count on anything coming from the circle of Netanyahu.

> It's not about whether I trust them or not. It's that everyone is following the same playbook. Every teenager shot on the street is a militant; every house that is flattened was used by terrorists; everyone who has any criticism whatsoever is an antisemite.

I was specifically indicating that my information came from a reputable paper. Not from an a*hole on Twitter. Social media is full of nonsense and terrible people, I don't take part in that.

There is a lot of rage there and a lot of grandstanding.

> What about all the people who can't charge their phones because Israel only allowed 4 hours of electricity per day before the most recent campaign? Or whose phones were destroyed when their homes were destroyed?

This works based on numbers. There are still enough mobile phones to get a sense of movement patterns and target areas that are mostly empty. The army demoed the system to foreign press where areas are marked on a map indicating "safe to bomb" areas. It isn't a perfect system by any stretch but it's the best that can be done in this situation.

I wish there was a way to resolve this without violence. I don't think even the heads of Hamas should be killed. I hope they can be captured and would stand trial if possible. No one should die, especially not the many civilians that are there. But there's absolutely no choice. Every time the Hamas was given leeway it used it for attacks.

Israel released 1000 prisoners, many of them terrorists with blood on their hands as part of a trade a few years back. Most of those terrorists took part in the October 7th attack. They can't help themselves, they are religious fanatics. They are clever enough to manipulate the sentiments we liberals have. Our knee-jerk reaction is to stop violence and they appeal to that. They even manufacture violence against their own people for that purpose.

Or… just make their data a row in the database. SQLite tables can store huge amounts in their columns
I read it as:

- Today, I need to predict tomorrow’s weather.

- Yesterday I made some measurements of the (temperature, pressure, etc) conditions that I need for today’s prediction.

- Yesterday it was impossible to know what measurements I’d optimally need to take for today’s forecast.

- Today, I can (quantumly, probabilisticly) go back in time and make sure I have the optimal set of measurements for today’s prediction.

- I can’t change anything that happened between yesterday and today, but I now have better information I can use to change tomorrow.
> I sometimes wonder if they fail to remember a time where it was them that didn't know e.g. what a console actually is and how it can be used

To be fair, the reason I'd fail to remember such a time is the same reason that I can't remember anything else from that time. Most people don't remember being a baby.

Unless you think knowing the word "console" is the important part there. I would have just said "DOS".

What does Finland do in terms of mental health compared to America. IIRC doesn't Finland have high suicide rates compared ?
I had a 4790K which was vulnerable to basically everything and while I'm sure the patches had a noticeable impact in benchmarks I couldn't notice much during regular use. So yes, I blame Microsoft.
The thing that makes me a lot more angry is criminals feigning ineptitude to get away with it. Doesn't matter for the little guy. If you inadvertently defrauded people by being incompetent at sales tax law, you'd go to prison. Do it at a billion dollar scale and suddenly "see I'm just a big dumb dumb and can't remember things" is enough to get off scot-free. That's not acceptable.
My experience of wise as a personal customer was that my face completely and utterly failed the ai "selfie" verification. I had a series of emails with their support staff in which they: asked me to email a pdf of my passport and a photograph of me; demanded I used the link again; asked me to open dev tools to get debugging info about why I couldn't complete the verification (it produces a message saying "do not open Dev Tools for security reasons"...); told me that I needed to complete a selfie link from a different device; and then told me verification was complete (I never completed it). At points their support staff directly contradicted themselves and I never "spoke" to the same human twice.

Revolut meanwhile updated one day and then instantly blocked my account for having a rooted Android device. I closed my account (on the phone to their support number), withdrew all my money, and left.

At least wise has reasonably cheap exchange rates.
dude i went there and tried to prove you wrong but you're right.

what's the freakin use case here, do i need gpt4 to eli5 this page?
Just my personal experience working as a psychologist with kids: The kids who were overly protected had about the same amount of problems as the kids from seriously neglected homes. So when I want to make my case for NOT overprotecting kids, I say: "If you really want to damage your kid: Protect them from all adversity."

I do think that the whole "suicide is increasing" trope is seldom put in context. Of course, it's a serious issue. But the number is relatively stubbornly just hanging around 5-15 per 100k for all nations for hundreds of years. So when people say stuff like "suicide among teenagers is skyrocketing," I roll my eyes, because I know they think THEY know the cause of the supposed epidemic of suicide. The absolute risk of suicide has been almost strangely stable across culture and time (as a population rate).

By contrast, it is so good to see that death by drowning and car accidents have plummeted over the last 50 years.

Happy to! I use a woodworking CNC router (a stock xcarve) to cut the gears out of brass sheets. It is absolutely not the “right tool” for the job, but already had access to one and it seems to work.

The gears are mod0.8. 40, 20, 12, 10 and 8 teeth. I cut the bevel gears and the pinions out of 3mm brass sheet stock while the larger wheels are cut out of 0.7mm brass stock. (Why this modulo? That was the smallest gear family my prusa 3d printer could print reliably, and i guess i just stuck with it as i transfered to cutting brass) (Why this stock thicknesses? That is what amazon had in next day delivery :))

I design the mechanism and create the cutting toolpaths in fusion 360. The paths are 2d profile cuts for the straight pinnions and wheels, and 3d profile cuts for the bevel gears. For the bevel gears I have a “roughing pass” with a 1.7mm bit followed by two passes with a 0.8mm bit. This seems to be needed otherwise as the tiny bit steps “down and out” it encounters too much depth on the “outside” of the cut. At least that is how I explain it. What is certain that when i tried to cut the bevel gears with a single pass the 0.8mm bit broke all the time, and with this strategy I can cut all four of my bevel gears with the same two cutters. :) The pinions and wheels with straight walls I cut with a single pass.

I take 0.1mm deep cuts with 45mm/min feed, altough truth to be told I have tried 250mm/min feeds also and that seemed to be fine too. 350mm/min broke the bit too often.

I run the spindle at a constant max speed, which I have measured to be 27000rpm unloaded. Haven’t measured during cutting but somehow I doubt the dewalt with all its 900W slows down at allwith these tiny bits and cuts.

For work holding I use the following “sandwitch”: a 6mm thick aluminum plate is toe clamped to the bed of the CNC. There is blue painters masking tape glued on the aluminium waste board, super glue on that and the brass stock is held on by that super glue.

I start the cuts 0.3mm above the stock and finish it 0.3mm bellow. I probe the stock’s surface, back the bit up until it breaks the contact and zero it there. The gears I cut are small enough that i don’t seem to benefit much from z-scanning the surface of the stock. I use Universal GCode Sender to send the gcode generated by fusion.

Sorry for the lot of detail, just wrote what I wished have known a few months ago. Let me know if there is anything else you are currious about.
Pretty sure you use it because vercel likes the frontend engineers who don't know how/or care to deal with the backend.

Papers Please is an excellent game, but really quite different to Uplink. I'd say that Papers Please's entertainment comes from a simple task with an increasing rule set, and needing to stay within those rules. Whereas Uplink's entertainment is a fair bit more problem solving and resource management (e.g. upgrades) if I remember correctly (I did play it many years ago).

They're both great indie games, with a great ambiance from the graphics and music, but otherwise I see them as fairly different in terms of gameplay.
> While the game is a bit on the short side, there's enough depth to its mechanics to feel satisfying to master, and the realization that a game that gave you so much trouble at first has turned into a total cakewalk can't be matched.

Yeah, if I recall, once you figure out all its mechanics you are able to hack anything in about a month of game time. This is marvelous once but obviously does hurt replayability.

It is fun to think I can never really replay uplink, short of some rather severe amnesia.
This comment made me curious so I looked up some data (sorry for the formatting, I don't know how to do it better):

Guns per 100 people
- Finland 2017: 32.49 (total of 1.79 million) [1]
- US 2017: 120.5 (total of 393 million) [2]

All gun deaths
- Finland 2017: 138 [1] (~77.09 deaths per million guns)
- US 2017: 39773 [2] (~101.2 deaths per million guns) <- A bit higher

Mean death rate per million in mass shootings, 2009-2015 [3]
- Finland: 0.132 <- A bit higher
- US: 0.089

[2] https://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/united-states
[3] https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/mass-shoo...

The data seems to suggest that the number of deaths and mass shootings sort of tracks with the number of guns, and that Finland isn't particularly better off "per gun".

You are of course correct. I should have said: The lowest energy option for a Mars transfer happens every 24 months.

Transfer outside that window is possible, but requires more energy, which increases the transfer time, limits the payload, or both.
I use it, because SaaS vendors like Sitecore and many others, have agreements with Vercel to push it as the main SDK.

While other SPA frameworks are supported, they are a kind of second line, without all the bells and whistles that Next.js users are given to enjoy.

I'm starting to think that TCP is past its prime and UDP based protocols (like QUIC) are the way forward.

The problem is exacerbated by TLS encryption. It requires six packets, or three round trip times, to establish a TLS over TCP connection. That is hundreds of milliseconds before a single byte of payload can be transferred.

The QUIC protocol combines the three way handshake and the three way key exchange to half the time I takes to set up a connection and provides a fast start (0rtt) for resuming a previously configured connection.

Additionally TCP connections do not survive a changed IP address like when changing from wifi to mobile data.

The stream model of TCP with head of the line blocking is conceptually easy but ultimately the wrong model for transmitting blobs of data. Rejecting a valid packet because the order got shuffled is wasteful, when we could just as easily reassemble the packets on the receiver side (even outside the sliding window).

There are a lot of times when the stream model is a good choice (dynamically generated data) but I would argue that sending sized blobs (like images) is a larger volume of traffic in terms of bytes transferred.

But the OP is right, writing custom UDP protocol is fraught with peril. DDoS amplification is just one way to screw up.

It’s not a maybe. By current international law, the US government is guilty of war crimes. It is most definitely guilty of genocide against Japan with the wanton and unnecessary killing of Japanese civilians that can only be seen as a stark retaliation and collective punishment for the preventable events of Pearl Harbor.

That’s how the law is written. There is no maybe about it.

However, the fact that people are largely sympathetic to the US implies that maybe the law is a little too harsh, and does not provide any caveats for situational violence.

International law today is a perfect ideal. It’s like a criminal code that bans murder, but doesn’t include any leeway for self defense or reduced sentences for manslaughter. Only perfect people can hold to its standards and no one is perfect.

Boston was founded in a breathable atmosphere and a livable climate, in a land that contains building materials, wildlife, liquid water, and arable soil, all shielded from cosmic radiation by Earths magnetic field and in a gravity well our physiology has evolved to cope with.

Over the years, I've found that the "nurture is the only thing that matters" camp is typically intensely self-delusional.

Despite hard evidence to the contrary, some people really really want to pretend that all human brains are equally capable.

> If AI-powered ad blocking becomes ubiquitous, it will mean the end of high-quality free services like Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Translate and YouTube, for all of which I much prefer to pay with my attention rather than cold, hard cash.

That is true, but what is also true is that a few products are currently sucking all of the air out of the system, preventing new entrants from encroaching on the incumbents territory.

Maps, Search and Youtube all serve the Google Search business. Any new ad-supported entrant, by necessity, also has to serve the Google Search business.

If the Google Search Business is crippled, there are only good things that can result from that. I don't see a downside to making Google Search unprofitable due to smart ad-blockers. (I welcome hypothetical scenarios in which the Search Business being limited due to ad-blockers has bad unintended consequences).
