Yes, you should all be building GPUs so that I can put it all together in my panoptic computronium cathedral. I don't know what this fool is going on about but once we have enough GPUs we can do everything else by simply asking the AGI how to do X and then just following instructions like robots which convert the necessary resources into the structure of X. This is what techno-capitalist optimism is all about. Accelerate the future by giving me $80B!

> I always thought Zuck-level money gives you better options, such as building your own loyal community

Zuck-level money wouldn't matter in a situation where a bunker is needed though. In a post-money situation, Zuck doesn't have anything to offer compared to a random man, so nobody will have any reason to join and partake in his "village" plan.

A really serious (or at least as close to serious as we can get when imagining apocalyptic scenarios) plan would be to stockpile goods/food/a means of production - those things are what's going to be valuable once shit hits the fan and might actually convince more people to join him.
Don’t forget, and takes 2+ decades to build.

I mean year in magical utopia world we would have build them already and it would be great, but we’d also have had serious electric cars from American auto mfgs 30 years ago in that world.

instead in our real world the auto and oil companies literally sabotaged the tech and repossessed the early vehicles that owners loved.
No, that's comic book logic. You no longer have any money, because that collapsed with civilization. Maybe you have assets in crypto, but that isn't going to do you much good once the internet and global communications go down. You don't have enough guns, because no matter how many you have, the rest of the world has more. Your personnel (who likely have the majority of your guns,) who are no longer being paid and are now in just as desperate a mode of survival as you are, would be foolish to take orders from you. You take orders from them now.

You're just a soft, privileged, formerly rich asshole in a desperate world full of actual cartels, gangsters, mafias and rogue armies sitting on a pile of dollars that are only fit to burn for warmth. Or would be, if you could find a bank to cash you out. All of the power you had depended on the existence of a state, its laws, its currency and culture, all of which are gone. You aren't taking over anything. In the real world you either get traded as a hostage or shot in the back within a week.
This seems incredibly broad, and could just as easily have gone amazingly for you as it did go badly.

> I predict that in 20-30 years these houses will be seen as one of the ugly architectural trends of my time.

Isn't that always the case? I seem to recall that all architectural styles have been considered ugly 30-40 years after they were first in fashion. And then eventually they start to become appreciated.
They can't redirect things going to localhost. But how does your local resolver talk other authoritative DNS servers? UDP on port 53. The instant that kind of packet hits your ISP, it's not routed outside their network and is answered by their DNS.

Unless you have DNS-over-HTTPS.

I'm on the single family home case and would really like to buy the ID Buzz to replace our Atlas (always wanted to own a Konbi) but it would be the second car in the home, we'd still keep our combustion SUV for the long trips and I think this is a lot of the current market for EVs.

Trouble is that pricing is awful, availability is also awful (there's still no date for when the Buzz will be around in the US) and I'm pretty happy with the gas price at the moment, so other than hype to buy a Tesla there's not much reason to buy electric at the moment.
"Tracker" is a bit abused. A tracker just keeps track of peers on a given hash. Websites offering an index aren't the same thing. No-one directly uses the website opentrackr.org, they just put the UDP tracker in their torrents
Presumably the bunker would have significant stores of food and supplies with which to pay them and offer protection for their families. Additionally there would also be the promise of eventually getting to other bunkers that he has with more supplies and people. Which may or may not exist.
Mentorship is not typically paid for, and books can't interact with you.

Our society is so fractured and individualized. We think we have to offer money for everything. We used to have academic societies, social clubs, and many more communal spaces that are all a shell of their former self or just filled with the older generation that valued things like that. Our generations mantra is "I hate people". We live in large congested cities and don't truly know our neighbors. Problem stems from here. You are only a "nobody" (you're not btw, that's a lie) because you haven't bothered to become a somebody to someone.

Difficult problem to solve, for sure.

It's not "exactly" how it works. Spotify don't pay you anything at all if your track gets <1000 plays. This means low-count content is subsidising higher count content.

I have seen articles detailing the different payout per stream of the different services, several times in recent years. From this I had assumed the payouts were fixed rate. I accept I could have misunderstood.
I think gas and parking are good examples. If your truck has had 30% less fuel efficiency than a car, then you're going to spend 30% more of your time at the gas pump, huffing fumes, than a car owner for exactly the same outcome in terms of utilization.

Parking is similar. I can fit a small 2-door car into x% more parking spots in a city than a larger truck. So you can spend x% more of your time looking for parking spots. Maybe you're still looking for a spot when the car owner has already completed the errand.

As someone else mentioned, this friction is amortized over time so for some the psychological cost is lower, but for those who understand the principle of opportunity cost, it is a very real and tangible cost of ownership.
> having promised to give away 99% of it

That really feels like the emptiest of promises. "Oh, I'm going to give away all my money once I'm done living my life of impossible excess". They don't get points for that. They could give away a massive portion of it RIGHT NOW and be able to live in the exact same excess, but they won't. I won't give them credit for future promises that cost them nothing to make.

Rotation can affect image purity. You don't even have to turn the set upside down. If you have a set that already has some color purity issues due to bad magnetism of the mask, you can affect that (and sometimes even find a position that eliminates it) simply by rotating the TV around on the surface it rests on.

Computer science pioneer Niklaus Wirth dies aged 89
I don’t think I’ve ever done a 45 minute charge stop in many trips between California and faraway places including Colorado, Montana, and Texas. These are not day trips. People read stuff and just believe it without questioning. Most of my charge stops are much quicker than what you think. 10 minutes usually. Sometimes 20 or
more ahead of a long desert stretch where gas stations are also few and far between, but usually 10.

The most priceless thing though is safety for your family. I read about accidents people had in their nice 5 year old
gas cars, and it’s just sad to me that they didn’t see the options for what they were, and could have easily afforded a much safer car, but instead based their choices on bad information about supposed long charging times and supposed long lines at chargers.

Rare piece of Kent content on HN! I went to the University of Canterbury, and there's a beautiful walk all the way from Canterbury to Whitstable - absolutely lovely part of the world. Canterbury is a slightly smaller version of other cathedral cities like Cambridge or Oxford and while the university isn't as highly rated (and was mostly architected in the 60s by a guy who also designed prisons), the Computer Science department is really good, especially the coverage of functional programming.

The internet was designed by the US Department of Defence specifically to be robust to attack. The fundamental design that makes it different from earlier telecommunications networks is its use of packet switching over circuit switching.

DNS, however, is thoroughly centralised and not part of the internet per se. I'm also not sure how redundant and robust the internet is in practice these days. The web certainly has single points of failure like Cloudflare etc. The GNU Name System is an example of a decentralised name system.

I don't think "slaves" is the correct word here, but there is something going on that I can't put into words. Capitalism++ where instead of businesses providing services in exchange for a fair amount of currency, everyone is just fighting to pull as much currency from others as they can, while everyone else tries to pull as much currency as possible out of them.

it has stopped being a symbiotic relationship and has started to become adversarial. extremely adversarial in some ways. it's exhausting and I don't see how it can continue.

in capitalism there is somehow this idea that future growth is uncapped, and that the line on the graph must always trend upwards and that is just not realistic. ..everything is finite. the lines simply can't continue to trend upwards forever. but everyone is acting like there's just infinite money, and all you have to do is ask people for it.

The number of times per day that I must say "no" to ads and subscriptions and offers and all of those things surely must be in the thousands.

I'm a PC gamer, have 8 controllers and have done none of the things you listed, except learning how to build a PC. I'm not saying it can't be like you described, but observation from your point of view (your life) is not a valid statistic.

Steam stats covers a lot of pc gamers, so we can and should be relying on that. 130M pc gamers is more than we can ever observe in life, and at least 48M of them have controllers

> Absolutely false. A 3-4 lines gradle build file for java will be fast, and correctly parallelize and maximally utilize previously built artifacts.

I've never seen this on any project that utilizes gradle. Every time, without fail, it's a multi-second startup of gradle that eventually invokes something that is actually fast: javac.

> I’m getting the feeling that you have zero idea about what you talk about.

Only 7 years dealing with java projects, both simple and complex

>> has no configuration specification

> Kotlin is statically typed.

Kotlin being statically typed has literally nothing to do with a specification.

Becuase Gradle doesn't have a configuration. It has a Groovy/Kotlin module that grew organically, haphazardly and without any long term plans. So writing gradle configuration is akin to reverse-engineering what the authors intended to do with a particular piece of code or API.

> Also, the API has okayish documentation

"okayish" is a synonim for bad. You'd think that a 15-year project in its 8th major version would have excellent API documentation

> people just like to copy-paste everything and wonder why it fails. You wouldn’t be able to fly a plane either from watching 3 sitcoms

So, a project with no specification to speak of, with "okayish" API that is slow as molasses by default out of the gate [1] keeps blaming its users for its own failure because somehow it's a plane, and not a glorified overengineered Makefile.

[1] A reminder, if you will, that gradle managed to come up with caching configs to speed up its startup time only in version 8, after 15 years of development.

It's how they wrote one of the first "performing trackers" as most others around the time where python or php based. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opentracker And it seems OpenTrackr from the article is based on Opentracker software.

Having a higher end window where the mutton/grill is dominated on both sides is best imo. It looks awful from the outside when it’s an interior stick-on as there’s no dimension and line you mentioned lack of shadow lines. You generally have to go to the higher end though, like a Marvin Ultimate. 30 of those on a house, installed, just set you back $60k+. But they look great.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer way of distributing files. Trackers are services that tell your client software who your peers are. Indeed, they are typically only accessed by BT client software, not by a browser.
That chart is for collimated lasers. There is nothing especially inherently dangerous about laser light, and 1.5W or so of light is common (your average household ceiling light is in that ballpark). A fiber break is a point source (more dangerous especially at very close range) and is a bit focused, but it’s not going to burn holes in your skin or cornea at any appreciable distance. If it’s a wavelength that penetrates to the retina, then maybe the fact that it’s a point source will make it more dangerous if it’s in focus.

Which is fascinating because sulphur emissions counteract (mask might be a better term) global warming. Reduction in sulphur emissions is suspected to be one of the main culprits of this years sudden rise in Earth sea-surface/land temperature this year.

Wild when you see just how much emissions are still being released and still presumably cooling the Earth, meaning the effects of climate change we're seeing now are still likely a dampened version of the true long term impact.
You don't need to be a "rabid environmentalist" to be alarmed by what is happening to our oceans:

Commercial fleets use sonar to isolate and annihilate entire populations. Nets have been as wide as 50 miles, resulting in massive indiscriminate marine death as bycatch. Only 2.5km nets are legal now- still more than wide enough to result in a lot of bycatch, and there is no reason to assume these dark fleets are abiding by UN law. [2]

This only applies to color CRTs that use a shadow mask or aperture grille. Monochrome CRTs, and the few color CRTs that don't rely on a piece of metal to ensure the electrons hit only the correct phosphors, are completely immune to lasting damage from a magnet (although in theory a strong enough magnet could alter the magnetism of the existing magnets that correct the set's deflection). A magnet will still distort the image of a monochrome set, but once you remove the magnet, the image should return back to normal.
I am running a recursive resolver locally. When it resolves a name, "upstream" means the root servers, not some DNS cache such as my ISP offers. A recursive resolver chases the name down the DNS tree to the authoritative server.

To block that, you have to either tamper with the root servers, or get control of the authoritative servers.

That Principal Engineer's knowledge came from painful repeated experiences in AWS. When I left AWS in 2016 they were trying to push towards 3 monthly cert rotations, and hoping to get it shorter.

A year long expiry isn't frequent enough that you build automation, and is long enough that the runbook you have is likely out of date before the next time you execute it. If you make it 3 monthly, it's more likely to be fully or mostly automated, and it's more likely you'll remember that certs were recently introduced in a particular service. If you make it monthly, it's pretty much guaranteed that it'll be fully automated.

Almost every week in the weekly AWS-wide ops meetings, one service or another would be talking about something that went wrong that was caused by some certificate expiring, that happened in a place they'd forgotten they had certificates, or had missed when they did the rotation. A number of those failures presented in particularly misleading ways, too, by nature of what role the cert was playing.

Similar story for me!

Back when I had feet, there were so many days where I had anxiety over forgetting to tie my shoes. Sometimes I would start the day with my shoes untied. Other days I'd obsess over which knot to use. And additional worries over my shoe becoming untied during the day.

I found out the solution to these problems wasn't about just remembering to tie my shoe tightly in the morning like an adult -- the real solution was to cut off my feet so I never needed shoes again!
