Surely you could ask all the same questions of physical casinos? The answer to most of the question is “addiction”.
I had one of these and ran Yellow Dog Linux on it. Linux supported all of the hardware very well including hotswap SCSI and the 20x4 LCD with a nice multi page mini 'top'.

Physically, it was amazing. No tools required, and the processor board rolled out on rails.

Had no idea about all this craziness!
That's impressive in all the wrong ways but I applaud you for the effort. Why not just use something like pillow and render the image serverside?
Do you remember the anarchist community that loaded up BBSs with bomb making and animal torture material?
If they’re called rarely, they have poor latency due to cold start times.

IMO lambdas are most practical when someone else in the org is responsible for spinning up VMs and your boss is in a pissing match with their boss, preventing you from getting any new infrastructure to get work done. The technical merits rarely have anything to do with it.
How is that the same? You can earn real money in a physical casino, here you cannot
There's plenty of "epic", "anything goes" space opera already

i am always on the lookout for new authors, but there are to many to choose from. so i have a hard time whenever i have to pick my next book. like you, i loved the realistic details in the expanse, but i am also very much into exploration, so when the gates appeared, i thought now it would get really interesting and i picked the last three books (and some novellas) after watching the tv series because i wanted to know how it progresses.

it is not my favorite series though, because while society in the expanse is formed through the experiences and discoveries they make, the humanity itself doesn't actually develop, like it does in say the culture series by Iain M. Banks. halfway through book 8 the end is now predictable.
Just using Whisperv3 high-quality to dump all the transcripts and make them mostly searchable would be a big improvement over the raw audio.
So Ferrari license rather than sell their cars?
Given that AWS still has no billing caps (despite it being one of the most requested features), you're exposing yourself to uncapped downside.

In addition to lambdas being a poor architectural choice in most cases, that is.
Until last year, the borrow checker operated on lexical scopes, which are apparent in the source code and the programmer can reason about. Last year, the borrow checker was changed to support non-lexical lifetimes by operating on the control flow graph—something the programmer never sees and is hard to reason about. This project continues running further in that direction, making it harder for the programmer to understand why the borrow checker does what it does.
Manufacturers can do a lot with DSP to make small speakers sound better. But "advanced" is saying a lot here. Recent speakers in macs and macbooks are over-driven to sound better and louder, with the DSP modeling energy input to the speaker and temperature of the speaker and keeping it within its physical limits. Without this DSP, the speakers not only sound terrible but become physically damaged if you try to use them at more than a very low volume. Any modern smart speaker or smartphone you buy will use similar DSP to sound much better and louder than it ought to, given its size. I think other laptops also do something similar at the hardware level.

Rightly or wrongly, Apple does it in software on the CPU but until now this wasn't replicated in linux. So the Asahi project (which is for macs with M1/2/3 CPUs), has added this feature to linux[1] and is working on adding DSP models for each model of Mx Mac. In Asahi Linux Speakers have been disabled by default on all models until this feature as well as the specific DSP for each model is ready. Now they have reached the point where speakers are enabled for the first model, which is a huge milestone.

[1] I originally wrote "linux kernel" but it is actually done in user space, with interlocks in the kernel to fall back to simple aggressive volume limiting.
Puffery (Law)
Fortunately, the person you were responding to wasn't making a bad faith argument, or even arguing at all, but was rather expressing a common opinion based on anticipating entirely predictable behavior.
I don't think accusing folks of having an "agenda" is a productive argument. I do think some of the rest of your post is valuable.

I have both loaned money and borrowed from, at various points in my life, friends and family. When lending, I have always looked at it as 1) A way to see how reliable my friend/family really was. 2) A sort of 'gift" - knowing full well they may not repay- thus I only loan what I am willing to lose. There have been times when I have lost more money than I would have liked to, but I knew it was a possibility going in, and thus I did not lose the friendship. I just know that at that point in time, the person I loaned to was not as reliable as I had hoped, and I know to be cautious in the future.

There have been many great business deals conducted between friends. If we decide not to do business with our friends because it is possible that the deal will go sour, we are left doing business with strangers, and we lose a lot of potential opportunities, not just to improve finances, but also to strengthen relationships.
It's social media, but instead of advertisers paying them, it's the users paying them. Same addictive tactics, same pointless entertainment.
> next to no styling

MathPages (which I just looked up) has styling, but its styling is the _browser default_. And that default has mostly not changed for a quarter century. It is simple, and familiar, though I think a few tweaks like bigger margins against the window edges would make it more readable. One example: https://gist.github.com/JoeyBurzynski/617fb6201335779f8424ad...

May I spruik my own site? I have a very simple site, with no Javascript, that embodies what I believe are good typographical principles. It has a particular focus on typographical layout reproducing century-old-style (remembering a hundred years ago is still a modern, post-WW1 design era!) https://daveon.design/about-dave-on-design.html#typography-&...

But more to the point, these "social casino games" (as they're known in literature) should probably be outlawed.
Happy to see progress on this front, but very disappointed that the Datalog based checker is not used.

Declarative formulations of these problems are much easier to maintain, verify, and spec than a imperative (re)implementation.
The conclusions are what is already widely understood about Lambdas. They could have just researched the topic up front and chose a better architecture.
I was wondering where I had heard the name "Big Fish Games". I just realised that they created Virtual Villagers which was a huge part of my childhood, I loved that game.

I also enjoyed Fish Tycoon and Diner Dash by them.

Seems like they got sold to a casino operator? Unfortunate that this is what makes money.
The global trade market is much older & stable then we think. Already in the 1600’s the Dutch figured out it was more efficient to import grains from Eastern Europe. And focus on agriculture fitting to the land. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin came along. And some bad years during the war. But essentially the Dutch haven’t produced one of their main staple foods for the last 400 years.
I wouldn’t say that’s the “whole selling point of Rust.” The borrow checker was based on lexical scopes, rather than the CFG, until last year.
I definitely agree, I can count with my hands how often I do transaction with ebanking, payment app (similar to google pay), and friends. I dislike the idea that people can track where, how much, and how often my money flow. so I resist the temptation of using that kind of stuff.

p.s., I don't have any credit card.
> yet they aren't reporting bugs or providing useful information at all,

When you have to register on a website to report bugs, you just switch back to X (path of least resistance).
Well ok sure, but how do we manage specialized inputs for the production of the global economies goods and services in an efficient manner without gloabalization? Everyone growing up thinks they are going to be a "doctor" or a "lawyer" or a programmer or a professor or whatever, some very large sector of labor that requires very little specialized inputs: but in fact, the vast majority of people become involved in labor that intersects with the global economy in ways they only understand in a small way. That is the nature of our modern economy, why capitalism is so robust is precisely because it has somehow managed to efficiently distribute labor such that all these various processes whose complexity is dizzying in nature are able to work like grand clockwork.

If an alternative form of economic planning does not come about, since Global Capitalism introduces so many externalities it will destroy itself relatively quickly. Such self-destruction seems inevitable at this point, but we are not given real alternatives: Communism is a spectre, it haunts discourse since it exists as the only alternative posited that seeks to increase productivity and global wealth. Others are simply regressive, right-wing policies that emphasize a return to communal life (whose advocates forget, or perhaps are simply unfamiliar with, the extraordinary poverty of traditional rural communities).

And yet not once has communism been shown to out-compete capitalism in terms of wealth generation and the destruction of poverty. Capitalism has been adapted so severely to social concerns that it is difficult to tell (especially in China, which still calls itself communist) where the social policies end and the wealth generation begins. Though it is not and cannot be the end of history. But then how could our future be anything but at the same time both fantastically wealthy and horrifically dystopic? Out of that extreme chaos, what could come but more chaos, more terror, more luxury and more suffering. Magnitudes of pleasure and displeasure vacillation, desire inversion, operational schizophrenia, than we could even comprehend today. The alternative is already a lack of an alternative.
The odd difference here is people supposedly do this knowing they can’t win their money back (which is shocking to me). I assume the argument is they’re paying for entertainment.
Thanks, I know I could do it in the console or the original source. But I was referring to the fact that the sentence in the post says to convert it to a getter "either in the original source code or using a conditional breakpoint."
i used to have a lot of trouble finding things as well until i discovered the command pallette (the / key opens it). now i do nearly most things just by fuzzy searching for them
Hopefully. “When it’s raining gold, reach for a bucket rather than a thimble” is a modern Buffett take on a nearly 500 year old “make hay while the sun shines”.

Adjusting your business approach to capitalize on favorable conditions is wise.
AFAIK you can pretty easily cap the number of concurrent lambda executions. Of all of AWS's services, Lambda is probably the easiest one to configure limits on.
As some who writes a lot of Go and thus has actually had to deal with this problem already: the hard part is finding a new source for the module. Updating your project to point to the new module takes around two minutes tops. But finding that module is the hard part.

However this isn’t a uniquely Go problem. You have the same problem when switching to a new module in any language and the reasons you’d struggle is the same: because the existing module has been abandoned. If it hadn’t been abandoned then it’s very easy to find the new git repo and thus update your Go project.

> git decentralization has nothing to do with it, unfortunately.

It has everything to do with it. You have a local copy of the repo on your development machine and thus can throw a new mirror up if you need to. All you lose is any issue tracking and existing maintainers. But if you’re having to resort to this, those maintainers have likely already abandoned that module already.
It is both, please do not misconstrue this.

If two callers call the same method concurrently, whether it requires any synchronization or a more advanced primitive like Channel (for which C# has well-written implementation) or nothing at all is a case-by-case choice.

Java's parallelism by definition cannot be better because they had to retrofit a green threads design onto existing ecosystem, only ever addressing the hardware thread blocking issue with all the ceremony and bloat to do the most basic actions concurrently and/or in parallel still remaining in place.

Java requires far more steps to achieve comparable behavior for what C# requires you doing nothing or a method call at most. Dispatching array elements to a consumer in parallel? call .AsParallel(), and no, Java's Stream API requires more work. Want to fire off two asynchronously completing methods? Just use the example above, neither Java nor Go can hold a candle to this. Methods are CPU-bound and blocking? Easy - just use Task.Run to achieve the same.
I can't understand its function. Is this a Danish language thing that was carried over in translation?
I made an in-depth beginner's guide to AI
So if the DSP model were only slightly off, then it could permanently damage the speakers?
Hey HN,

I'm a person who uses AI every day — one who wished to have a comprehensive beginner’s guide. Now I teach people how to leverage the power of AI. Wrote and scheduled 90 simple guides in 3 weeks.

I realized people miss the basics. Everyone speaks about ChatGPT, but nobody speaks about what AI is — in simple, familiar terms.

So I did this: 1. Got a self-explanatory domain / 2. Made a bullet-list guide defining AI & ML / 3. Wrote how to begin using AI and later scale up

I put this guide together the way I would've liked to have when I got started, so I hope you find it as useful as I do! Any feedback is welcome, especially negative

For most people, you can't earn anything at a casino. Almost no one comes out ahead, because no one leaves when ahead. They just keep playing, until all their money is gone.

Sounds like these apps are more honest.
Yes but you’re ignoring how much each carries. If you look at amount carried per amount of fuel consumed per journey, container ships are much more efficient than trucks regardless that one journey is 100 miles and the other is 3000.
Can’t China start a new Cold War pretty easily? Any other country China sanctions, even the US, would be crippled. China would suffer retaliatory sanctions too of course, but it seems like they’d be able to weather such a storm much easier than anyone else. Or is this too simplified?
It seems more a weird spin on right of first refusal that is added to the original sales contract. It’s a ROFR with a pre-negotiated price. The pre- negotiated price is the odd part. Generally a first refusal gives the ROFR holder the right to buy the asset at the selling price the other buyer is willing to pay. This is a bit different.
No doubt we need to get deforestration under control. I'm just trying to point out that "just plant trees" is not a sufficient answer to climate change by itself. It helps, certainly.
Addiction isn’t rational so the answer may be as unsatisfying as “people got addicted because they got addicted”. Many people addicted to real slot machines are addicted because you press a button and something happens, the fact that you can win real money is not much of a differentiator between these apps and real slot machines — because addicts in a casino aren’t walking away in profit either.
I paid hundreds of thousands for a home and the city still controls many aspects of it
Companies earn trust by being honest and consistent for long enough. I trusted Apple until recently. They lied to me several times over the phone over several weeks (always in a very courteous and professional way). Such a small thing for them to throw away trust for. I had been slowly moving into their ecosystem and I'm now pulling out. Pixel 6 google edition can be found for ~$200 and can be loaded up with de-googled Android ROMs (Calyx, Graphene, others).
Your source corroborates the statement:

> A second major argument of the book is that, contrary to standard accounts of the history of money, debt is probably the oldest means of trade, with cash and barter transactions being later developments.

Sure, bartering isn’t the oldest, but the book doesn’t seem to discount bartering entirely.
I still remember going to the lagoon back when there were only a couple of portable container houses there for changing your clothes before going in. No charging, no tourists, almost no people.

Back then, before the commercialisation of it (which btw I am fine with) it was just what it is; the run off from the Svartsengi powerplant.
> next to no styling

Remember that "no styling" is just the default CSS styling for typography, which somebody painstakingly created so that it sort of works. Pretty much all you need to do to make perfectly readable text on the web is make the column narrower. You can certainly improve it, make it more beautiful and readable, but it's acceptable as is. The real problems arise when people override those default styles with worse ones. So, we can either force people to use their browser's proprietary typography—which is not the spirit of the web—or teach 'em to do it better, which should really take about an hour.
Yup

I'm starting to think that the entire internet is a net-negative, especially when compared with desktop computing and occasional ability to connect to other specific endpoints which we chose — doing the computing we wanted to do with the tools and people we wanted.

Today, the entire world of computing and internet seems like being hooked into a giant scam-land, where it is just a giant effort to avoid everything from constant flashing adverts (that screw up any dark-screen setting) to outright hacks and scams, despite having multiple layers of filters in place, and the FFoxes, TBirds, & DDGs of the world, who try to preserve some hint of independence struggle to merely survive.
Not the person you replied to, but: Documents rarely survive just by being physically durable. They survive first by people making an effort to preserve them. Deja News might be the most complete archive, but it's not the only effort to preserve Usenet.

For example: https://archive.org/details/archiveteam-googlegroups

It's a roundabout way to do it, but probably includes enough context on what's missing for a historian to dig into other archives to find it. History is like RAID: given enough parity information, you can reconstruct much of what's missing. That's how we know so many lost texts exist, and occasionally find them: stuff we do have references them and sometimes offers clues on where to find it.

Digital information in particular benefits from getting smaller relative to available storage size. Running a Usenet server used to be a huge financial burden. Now I could hold most of it on a keychain. This makes replicating it across the planet to resist the chaos of human nature easier. It might die in one place, but it's also somewhere else. It would take a world-ending event to wipe out anything you might find in /r/DataHoarder.
The money is obviously of better use in the hands of others. No harm done here.
Addiction is not related to the potential benefits of the habit. You can get addicted about anything depending on your personal dispositions.

Simply said lot of "games" are disguised Skinner boxes, people with addictive personalities are very vulnerable to those.
Just finished Being You by Anil Seth and The experience machine by Andy Clark. Both great popular science book on current neuroscience and consciousness research.
>> My iPhone works really well and I generally trust Apple. So I’m 100% fine with someone else controlling it.

The reality is that most people are choosing to let Apple or Google control their mobile devices.

From what I have read, most free / libre smartphones are not ready for consumer use. Are there are any "good enough for grandma" libre smartphones?
For me, I want to have a little here and there. It's fun, I like putting $20 in with my friends and we get a little pool going.

I don't understand why I can't gamble because someone else has no self control. My same argument applies to alcohol, marijuana, fast food, etc.
Not very closely, although I am aware of them. Are you involved? How would you relate RATS and SCITT to System Transparency, Sigsum and TKey?
Addicts don’t gamble in order to make money, that’s just what gets you in the door.

Once you’re in that addiction cycle, you crave the dopamine rush and play just for the feeling of maybe winning back a big loss even when in reality a big win probably won’t even make you break even.

It’s why people just sit in front of slot machines for hours on end.
If you could earn real money in a physical casino, casinos would cease to exist.

Edit for clarification: excluding the staff, who obviously earn wages there, if the average person made any money gambling in an average casino, casinos would quickly go bankrupt.
Playing apart, it’s surprising they spend 1000s of dollars.
From my experience playing a popular blackjack social casino game, they seem free to make you hit a blackjack at just the right time to keep the dopamine (and real money) flowing.
It's a skinners box. People will put money in for the dopamine rush it gives. Think candy crush or vampire stories. They're paying for an experience. In a sense the people spending money are victims of predatory gaming mechanics.

If you've payed for anything in any video game to enhance your experience like getting an upgraded weapon it's the same exact thing. Turns out there's an audience that's willing to pay this money. Or it's a money laundering scheme but who really knows.
They also said that about video games. Now some single player games have an 'always online' requirement and can not be cracked anymore since they rely on content not stored locally.
I can see that happening with cars.
Shipping is cheap these days because volume is up, and because losses due to theft (thanks to containerization) and piracy (thanks to Team America World Police) are down.

If this is your mindset, you're on the wrong website. The values of hackers are incompatible with the values of technological serfdom that you're espousing.
This is why I want to see micro-fabrication become ubiquitous. I believe a massive economic revolution that vastly improves our world is possible. I think this is a world where smaller manufacturers can compete with giant foundries, but it depends on
1) automation of small-scale raw-resource production (mining, plant materials, or even better yet, recycling for raw resources.)
2) a massive investment in micro-fabricator processes (not just 3-d printing, but modular and high-quality output of formed metals, textiles and even electronics that doesn't require hours of mucking with calibration.)
3) Replacing business-to-business-only networks with a blurred business-to-business-or-consumer one, where locally produced materials can be just-in-time committed, produced and shipped to either customers, small, in-situ manufacturers or repairmen, or even another manufacturer for advanced finishing of intermediate goods.
