I'm not against the idea personally, the user agent doesn't have a purpose anymore and probably is the number one cause of "bugs" only affecting Firefox.

It's the same issue on mobile as well, Google still serves the dumbed down search version to Firefox whereas the one they serve on Chrome fully works with a user agent change.
> For example, we see light coming from regions that have very different gravity, but it still behaves the same.

Blackholes bend light for example, isn't that light behaving differently due to gravity? Couldn't pulsars and quasars do the same?

> That property of spacetime (a better name for it would be local Lorentz invariance) is the same everywhere no matter how weak or strong gravity is.

Isn't gravity a product of spacetime curvature? Normal objects' "speed" changes when they curve, can observational evidence froma distance, especially considering relativistic effects be enough to tell observers on earth thay even during curvatures of spacetime, the speed of light in vaccume locally at that point won't be affected?

I somehow have never seen this. Will try it out, thanks
XML is hard to read and write for humans and not efficient for machines, while the tools are complex.

The benefits mentioned above are due to schemas, and not the serialization format or tool scope, all of which could be improved independently.

But even if an excellent combo dropped from the sky getting everyone to use it would be very hard due to inertia.

That said, some folks with demanding needs use protocol buffers or thrift, etc. And have for a while.
So I guess Safari would go too?
It means that the website doesn't work in Firefox intentionally. The website was proframmed to not work with Firefox user agent string.
Some of the more whackadoodle fusion plant designs (which nonetheless have millions in funding and early prototypes built) get around this by doing the fusion in a blanket of liquid metal, or by using aneutronic fusion (which requires ridiculously high temperatures), or by using the neutron activation to breed more fuel.
There was a good Chinese Pod episode on this but I can't find it now. One of the things I recall was to express emphasis, make the tones really obvious (almost like a beginner might, consciously speaking them).
I think wealth inequality numbers can be misleading.

I was on a contract in Stockholm for a bit. There, I worked with some support line people. Working on a support line, they were able to rent a flat, afford to study at a university (debt free!), have access to medical system, party pretty much regularly and relatively good food. They would not be saving much after all this, but that probably was because they were young people and were not thinking much about saving anyway.

Now, do tell me what does an entry job on a support phone line buy you in the US?

One reason for wealth inequality numbers is high immigration in Scandinavia. For example, in Sweden, 20% of all residents are foreign born immigrants, compared to 14% in US.
I am beyond certain that crossed their mind at least twice but thanks.
yes! exactly this. Now obviously people would say "just use a linter" but its not actually as reliable as a builtin.

Moreover, people who have dyslexia are not always able to spot stuff like this.
"Vital" seems a little strong after reading the article.
> The point to taxing billionaires is to even things out and nudge society to be more equal counter to market forces continuously concentrating wealth. I'd fully support a tax on billionaires where the money just gets burned in a furnace.

Then you're going about it the wrong way.

The main thing having billions of dollars gets you is the ability to choose who runs a large corporation. If you take away the money but not the corporation, all you're doing is transferring the power to run that corporation to some Wall St assholes instead of the founders. The corporation is still just as big and whoever is put in charge of it still has just as much power.

The thing that actually concentrates wealth is large corporations. The solution, then, isn't taxes, it's antitrust and fighting against regulatory capture. It's to make corporations smaller and more numerous, so they each have less power.

Which would not only solve the actual problem, it would also solve the nominal problem of billionaires having too much money, because the way you get billionaires is by having corporations that are too big. It causes the people who got in when they were small to have "too much money". Don't let them get that big and that doesn't happen anymore.
The system is completely opensource, the team would be even more the willing to help you to build your own clouds separate from the current main one, and even can guide you if you ever wanted to change how the payment works. We are already at the point of designing the 4th iteration of the system. Too many believed in our vision and connected their capacity to make it reality.

There're various definitions of free, e.g it will cost power and bandwidth for sure, but free as in totally decentralized as owned by the people? they get to decide how and where their workloads are hosted :) you can connect a server in your basement and I deploy my workloads on it or you can even host your website (trusting other human beings on your own terms :) )

I think this is a bit too reductive. Certainly contraceptives have played some role, but human evolution is not purely biological, it's also cultural. Modern civilisation has a lot more ways to be successful without having children than middle age or older civilisation did. Most importantly for women, who previously had housewife, mother and certain low-status menial/sex jobs as their only culturally accepted roles. It's not surprising to me that as women were permitted higher education, voting rights, etc, cultural evolutionary pressures shiftes quite massively. And history seems to bear that out.
I agree, I spend more on seeds so I can harvest food later in the year than most would think necessary.

You totally got me.
I cannot conceive of any possible negative consequences if this technology comes to pass.

I am also sure that when it does come, it will be under budget and on schedule.

It seems to vary a lot in my experience. I have two kids who basically got the same treatment. One was eloquently talking in coherent sentences of 4 or 5 words by 18 months ("plane in the sky", "teddy come downstairs", "want something to eat" etc) and was understandable by others outside the family, the other kid was barely able to grunt single words at the same age ("mukk" instead of milk, "nur-sa" instead of nursery etc) that only we really understood as it was just incomprehensible sounds to everyone else

Singing made fuck all difference in that case (FWIW, the grunter is now totally fine as an older kid). Both were walking at 10 months so it was not like one was just "slow" at their milestones

As they say, every baby is different.

Some of the newspaper opinion pieces about the evils of photography or the cold inhumanity of listening to a record instead of a live performance would fit right in to the discourse today with nary a noun change.
Same thing. Came to comment “we are so back”

No offense to the creators, I appreciate anyone shipping something new, but this has been tried many times without success. HNT being the largest example.

Also, isn’t ICP be the same concept?
A lot of them provide normal-ish C programming environment. Files, network sockets, etc. the virtual memory space isolation is a huge feature that's hard to certify, so Green Hills is leading the field there.

Is firefox blacklisted or are chrome and edge whitelisted?
So it's really a mechanism whereby taxpayer dollars get redistributed to elite groups via funding of hi-tech industry like arms manufacture.
Lots of very wealthy people keep wealth in tax shelters, but that reduces their tax burden, not their net worth. Bill Gates doesn't secretly have a trillion dollars.
So you have no problem with junking cars that are most likely completely fine mechanically? Just because electronics is poorly made, prone to chain failure or because software does not support replacing some parts that otherwise could be replaced? Maybe having slightly different performance on one cylinder is completely fine. But with all the proprietary stuff, we aren't allowed to even ask!
The occasional war corrects this imbalance. We're overdue.

The longer I live, the more I recognize that everybody has a role despite any apparent flaws. Take gays-- in a hunter-gatherer society, a clique not burdened by children to protect are free to become scouts or trailblazers; they have mobility. This childless-by-choice stuff is a modern invention and not an option for sexually-active adults otherwise.

We don't all have the same purpose. We're more like ants than we want to admit.

Wow!

It's no wonder the USA is so fucked.
In 2003 a huge proportion of people including many scientists and engineers believed that modern society is impossible without fossil fuels and that fossil depletion would inevitably lead to collapse if climate change didn’t first.

Remember sites like The Oil Drum and dieoff.org? Where we are today was considered laughably impossible and those arguments came with pages of calculations.

We are on track for what might be peak CO2 emission this decade. At that point we will start moving in the right direction emission wise. This is not good enough to avoid some amount of dangerous climate change, but it’s better than the doom scenarios of 20 years ago.

GDP is decoupling from carbon emissions too, which is massively important.

Now it seems we’re back to the big existential risks being war and awful politics with the latter driven by social media algorithms that prioritize the most toxic ideas for “engagement.” (Unless you buy AI doom. I don’t.)
Only in a highly technical sense. Because this is the broken window fallacy [1].

Yes, most of the money is being "spent" in the US to hire workers to build new weapons and tanks and so forth.

But then all those resulting weapons and tanks are being sent to Ukraine. They're not staying in the USA.

And all those extra workers that have been hired? Well, they came from working on other things. Things that aren't getting done anymore -- or the people that replaced some of them came from yet other things that now aren't getting done, that aren't benefiting people and businesses in the US.

So no, there's no reasonable sense in which the money is "staying in the USA", in the sense of having our cake and eating it too. It's being spent on hardware that is sent to Ukraine. And we are losing out on all of the products and services that we would have built instead. All of that value is gone. Because it got shipped to Ukraine instead.

(I'm very much in support of Ukraine BTW. Not arguing against this at all! But we should be honest about what it costs us. We don't magically get most of the money back as a nation somehow.)

From a strategic perspective, wouldn't you want your cloud to be centrally managable (with redundancy) and supportable in case of issues?
However much you can pay. Millions. Not even joking. It may be worth it for a big ticket aircraft program though.
Secret to whom? Several reporters pointed this out a year ago.
Right, I forgot this detail. Thanks for the correction.
Just because someone has different interests or definitions of what they find to be art doesn’t make them any less valid.
I dunno, I just have a rule of thumb with online conversations that the harsher the language that someone uses the more they're doing it for personal reasons.
> (looking at you date picker), not only are the defaults not great but you can't change them even if you want to. As soon as you hit one of the many brick walls when it comes to styling or changing behavior (Oh you want the week to start on Monday? Too bad)

For the start day of the week (and most suggested customizations of input[type=date]), it's a good thing that this is outside of your control. The appropriate calendar to display should be locale-dependent. The user's platform already has capabilities to configure and display this is a way most likely for the user to be able to effectively use.

The platform's date picker is better than whatever weird thing you custom built.
Changing behavior based on user agent is necessarily intentional on the part of Microsoft.

That check lies somewhere along the line between "having the direct goal of breaking authentication flow (pure malice)" and "is a completely legitimate programming error (pure incompetence)."

I am not ready to assume pure incompetence (and here's where I might be wrong).
This hasn’t been a secret. McConnell has been spouting this as a big reason why he supports it.
Same here, I can’t even begin to imagine not hearing their voices in the morning, but I can see why people would choose not to have them. It’s not about whether they will regret it or not (it’s hard to regret something you never had…?) but about the fact that making the choice itself seems easier and easier.
I hate to be that guy but you sound like you know your bookmarking/readlater/knowledgebase apps: What made you choose logseq over obsidian? Did you try both, or switch over at a certain point? Is starting an Obsidian knowledgebase not a thing you would to suggest to people today if they are just starting?

Thanks for any input

Do a present value calculation of the real value of a solid pension. You'll get a value well into the 6 figures, if not 7 figures. Now do a present value calculation of all the health insurance premiums a person will have to pay over their lifetime. And similar for all the other social insurances Nordic citizens get for free.

That's all real wealth that's not calculated in your links.

Or put another way: the Nordic model does not reduce inequality, it reduces the consequences of inequality.
> You get bounced between a half-dozen domains

At work one of the cdn domains they use fails to resolve until it suddenly works. Haven't bothered to look into it yet, but generally takes about 10-15 minutes to sign into anything related to Azure AD / Office365.

Can resolve it just fine on the command line, just in the browser where it doesn't work.

The only reason I know about them is my coworkers are in them (coworkers from different jobs too). They tend to be white beards (is this still a PC term?) and they’re all super nice. They get all giddy when they can talk about their 911s. One of my jobs, we had our own landing strip, so they would race all their cars (Audi, corvette, BMW, and Porsche). I honestly thought the BMW i8 would win but he never custom tuned it and it was soft capped at 140 mph.
That isn't remotely close to fusion's biggest challenge. If you can generate 1 GWe for 30 years and deal with a small warehouse of low level waste for a few decades that is a nothingburger.

The biggest challenges to fusion is making a reactor quickly, cheaply, and with reasonable uptime / maintenance.
Understatement.
> while 92 per cent of children born in 1940 had higher household incomes than their parents, babies born in 1980 had only a 50/50 chance of doing better than the previous generation.

Come on. The generation which was born in 1940 was born after (or arguably during) the Great Depression, and then got to live their lives in the world after the hugest world war, from which the US emerged as a victor, and mostly intact. In their adult lives they encountered the period of American economical and technological hegemony, while Europe and Japan scrambled to restore themselves after the devastation of the war.

It was really hard for that generation to not live better than their parents whose adult life went through the times of the Prohibition and the Great Depression. A contrast like this cannot occur "naturally", during times of peaceful life and regular progress. So the 1980s were a regression to the mean, when the US started to face some real competition. As the generation of 1940 (and even more so, of 1950) got a lot of wealth very quickly,
it became really hard to compete with them, as assets like land and realty had appreciated a lot by 2000s when the generation of 1980 came of age.

But on topic: the American Dream is defined as «life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement». IDK about "better" and "fuller", but 2000s with their continued technological explosion offered a huge amounts of opportunity, admittedly with a crash in the end; 2010s seemed to be totally not devoid of opportunity, too. The "richer" part was hit hardest; while opportunities to go from rags to riches demonstrably existed, they hardly affected "everyone". As of "fuller", well, the society, to my mind, have become more tolerant and open; I suppose that living a "fuller" life as a woman was/is easier for a person born in 1980 than born in 1940.

For a more informative comparison, I'd like to compare generations of 1890, 1900, and 1920, for instance.
Yes and no. The models themselves (with permissive licenses) might be like freeware, rather than "open source" or "free software". But they are a big enabler in allowing people to build other F/OSS on top -- eg. an experimental Gnome/KDE addon that allows voice control is now a real possibility. Most practical FOSS (other recalcitrant parts of the GNU community) already builds on top of all kinds of proprietary tools from computer hardware to closed operating systems like MacOS/Windows. LLMs are just the latest in the list of blobs -- developers & users can evaluate whether the power/opacity tradeoff is acceptable.
This looks really cool as a concept.

>And all those extra workers that have been hired? Well, they came from working on other things. Things that aren't getting done anymore

How can you be so sure? What if they came out of schools into their first job? Now those people get training, and some skills in their resume for the future.

Honestly, your entire comment reads very FUDy and lacking in proof/substance.
Hmmm... So that's how to go from 10x developer to 24x developer. Sign me up!
A code of ethics is just a starting point for asking the right questions. It's not supposed to provide answers.

You mentioned some controversial technologies that have potential both for good and for ill. When you work on technologies like that, there is always a risk that your contribution to the society will be net negative. That the world would have been a better place without you. Is that a legacy you want?

Some of those technologies are a necessary evil. There will always be weapons of war, and there will always be people developing them. If you choose to make a career in such technologies, you should keep asking yourself the right questions. What are the specific choices your company is making, and are they making the technology better or worse for the society? Which choices are you personally advocating for? What is the actual impact of the technology you are developing in the field? Do you have faith in the leadership of the company and in the choices they are making? Should you continue at your job or quit?

You have some rights as a citizen of a free country. Those rights are balanced by responsibilities, because the government ultimately receives its powers from citizens like you. As a professional, your choices likely have more impact on the society than the average citizen. You should therefore take your responsibilities more seriously as well.
Yes - we can spend all these resources and re-build houses in Hawaii.
Is this even per se a bad thing? One if the big talking points with "sending money to Ukraine" is the level of corruption. But materiel are much easier to trace than cash or digital currency.

I mean, yeah, the military industrial complex and all that, but that issues exists in either case.
I'm very sorry you're feeling that way. Nothing fishy is going on. I was just happy to post about a product I've been building for years that's under utilized and can solve too many things for people. We don't want to be attached to anything crypto and we are working on supporting fiat.

The system is there, usable -unlike so many web3 projects- :)
I don’t know, I subscribe to the notion that a human makes decisions. Despite any hormonal urge (other than extremes of course). Can you choose not to work if you feel like you don’t have some kind of natural disposition for it?

I think this is true for the sciences as well but it is more evident in math. Mathematicians could hypothetically exist in a system where they are funded by artificial scarcity. I don't know how practical that is but they tend to exist in a more patronage-like system. Outside of a number of areas of math that have applications where people will pay for their services, mathematical research is primarily a "patronage" system, where society is willing to pay for pure mathematical research at universities. There are a lot of examples of this in society.
So I work with a reasonably well typed codebase, type hints are great for documentation. Especially as most people where I work fear writing any kind reason _why_ they wrote what they wrote.

But it don't help with stuff that gets transmuted in flight. Granted with pydactic is your friend here, but thats a lot of work to backport.

basically I want c#'s typing system with python's syntax.

It's by definition. They would have gone to another job instead, where they would have gotten similar training and skills, on average.

Arms production isn't hiring a ton of people who would be unemployed otherwise. US unemployment is at around a historic low. Every extra job added there is basically being taken away from somewhere else. That's just how the economy works.
