> I dunno, installing Windows from scratch is still pretty slick. You don't normally end up having to do extra work to get basic things like Bluetooth working, or whatever.

I have to wonder what hardware and distros you're using, as the most dominant vendors (Intel, Realtek) work out of the box on the major distros. Or are you recalling experiences from 15 years ago with ndiswrapper and older Broadcom devices still?

The difficulty of dual boot is to do with something being already there. Already Ubuntu etc. have installers that will do repartitioning for you intelligently. Windows by comparison will just pave over whats there if you let it do the happy path and if you want to set up dual boot, requires as much knowledge about resizing partitions.

Exploring the Future of Web Connections: XML Webring Concept
Hey Hacker News community!

I wanted to share an exciting concept I've been working on – the XML Webring. It's a fresh take on traditional webrings by encapsulating their mechanisms within an XML document. This innovative approach allows for greater customization, flexibility, and versatility.

By creating applications that can parse and execute the structured data within the XML document, we can redefine the webring experience. It opens up possibilities for a more dynamic and adaptable web community.

Check it out on Internet Archive and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this forward-thinking concept.

Happy hacking!
Good to know. But the OP library adds even more (http2, MQTT).

I've yet to actually build anything with redbean but the more functionality it has, the better.

The project I'd like to explore with it would be to create a lua-based CLI toolkit a la the goodness that charmbracelet is building https://github.com/charmbracelet. Too many distractions atm and I don't have need of that CLI functionality so the impetus is lacking.
Huh? How under my scenario do millions die like how you stated? What assumptions did you insert in order to conclude with an ad hominem straw argument?

If you're willing to implement policy that increases the cost of energy then you're also in support of killing off the poorest, right? Jordan Peterson has regularly brought this up in this argument points against the current strategy of CO2 taxes, etc - which are actually worse for the environment because then people can't afford the less polluting energy sources, and then they burn wood - worse for environment for pollution, worse for their own health, and it destroys forests.

I'm having trouble understanding the metaphor. If someone went to a park for the purpose of playing football, surely the lack of lines would make them prefer other parks.

Disasters lead to a rethink

[…] the meltdown in Harrisburg in 1979, the Super-Gau in Chernobyl in 1986. The answer of the then Union-led federal government: Helmut Kohl creates a Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. Also a demonstrative sign to the Greens, who first entered the Bundestag in 1983, with the clear demand for an immediate construction and operation stop to all nuclear power plants.

Right, so if there is a new export ban then nvidia will be in violation and the agency just clarified that it will create such a ban if nvidia makes it necessary.

The cost of trying to play cat and mouse would be on nvidia loosing lots of R&D time and money and not the agency that only has to copy paste the product details into what is probably a preexisting form.

First off: nobody is shouting "from the mountains to the sea". That's not a thing. You mean "from the river to the sea" --- the Jordan River being a claimed historical western border of Palestine and of "Greater Israel".

Second off: it is manifestly not the case that everyone shouting that slogan is genocidal. One indication of that: Israel has used the slogan itself. Most people who use it probably don't really even know what it means, as seems to have been the case there.

Third: please stop declaiming. It's not persuasive, it doesn't teach anybody anything, and it pumps cortisol into the thread. You don't have to have a thing to say here. Sometimes it's best just to let charged threads like these die down on their own.

> Ideally the NHS would just build it in house, but sadly it's a slow and bloated organisation unable to innovate (as most government managed things usually become).

This is patently false, a narrative often parroted by people who don't understand or have never worked in the NHS.

There are many intelligent people in technical/digital roles in the NHS that innovate on a daily basis - heck, many build systems internally at a hugely reduced cost compared to outsourcing yet decisions come from parliament/gov agencies that overrule internal decision making and waste insane amounts of cash on vanity projects, or scrapping internal work to be redone by the likes of Accenture.

I've giving "Accept - Minor Revisions" to every paper I've peer reviewed since getting my PhD other than two that were outright plagiarism. Figure it's important to the morale of grad students to get some positive validation and the vast majority of published research is garbage anyways so I don't feel particularly inclined to defend the trash heap as an unpaid reviewer. In practice, I find that I've tipped the scales in favor of a lot of borderline papers over the years and am quite happy about that.

Adaptation can happen far faster than that, and even faster if facilitated further by conscious effort of humans - like tree planting but on specialized steroids; we could technically "seed bomb" areas with seed species that we know thrive in the newer conditions of the area, and even have missionaries on the ground who help cultivate a minimally adequate ecosystem for it to continue to spread on its own.
That's what I am often wondering about. A large part of Germans have developed a completly exaggerated fear of nuclear energy, acting almost like cult or if they are in a mass delusion.

One example: When I say to some of my friends that I would be perfectly fine living near an underground long term storage facility for nuclear waste, they do not believe me or think I am a moron. They really think that facility could either blow up or the radiation will kill you in your sleep. And those are doctors, judges and other people with higher education. One influential German politician even claimed, that the Fukushima incident killed 16000 people, simply attributing most of the deaths from the tsunami to the Fukushima powerplant. And those people are now in power of this country.

I have no idea if this development was controlled by interest groups or they spiralled into that mindset themselves, which would not even surprise me.

Sure, but then you’re in the business of having to add many exceptions on an ongoing basis. That’s why I wish we had more decentralization - it’d be trivial for parents to, say, whitelist *.gov with the knowledge that they’re not going to find porn there. Doing the same on YouTube is a much harder problem.
Probably because the quality of the final end-user software produced by universities is less than what a company like Palantir would produce.

It is kind of amazing what you can create if you have hundreds (if not thousands) of really well paid SWEs with industry experience of working on real products used by people who pay money for it. As opposed to a bunch of really smart (and really underpaid, looking at the stipend amounts) grad students who know a lot about their specific domain, but lack the industry experience and proper product management.

Add on top of that that Palantir will dedicate engineers just for their big customers, just so that they can assist with integrating and customizing the product the way the customer wants. Palantir literally has a role for that called Forward-Deployed Engineer, and they will fly out to wherever the customer is to address whatever issues they have. Even if all else was equal, there is no way a university would be able to do that.

P.S. Don’t get me wrong, universities can produce groundbreaking and amazing software that will live on outside of the university walls. But it would be usually rough cutting edge prototypes with zero customer support of the type that companies and governments typically look for.
People will ask to be buried on the moon for some belief. Other people will oppose because of another belief. That's a moral draw.

That was long after the anti nuclear movement had gained full steam, not a reason for it. People in Poland or Bulgaria are not nearly that extreme in their thinking, even though they got a much bigger dose of the Charnobyl fallout.
I mean... you don't really need to pick on their tank battle tactics. The final scene was at least 5 times more ludicrous. "I'll just stand up on top of this tank and none of the hundreds of Nazis will be able to hit me for at least 5 minutes". Ok.

I thought it was a decent film until they massively jumped the shark in the last scene. Someone needs to do a "sane edit", then you can complain about the tactical accuracy.
> The big problem isn’t that kids could innocently find sexual content but also that grownups will try to trick them into engaging with things for a variety of reasons.

Again and again big tech comes in and busts established industries with subsidised products, only to eventually remove the subsidy and virtually revert back to the original industry product and pricing… I swear, technology only speeds things up and very rarely has any actual substance.
> Friendly reminder that prior to the popularization of the internet 20-30 years ago, there was absolutely no equivalent situation where you could have the kind of anonymity the internet provides. It is not any kind of natural right. If you wanted to send or receive information it had to be done in some physical way, so your identity could not really be hidden.

What? You could buy books/magazines with cash. There were literally laws preventing porn rental shops from keeping records on their customers. No one had any idea what you watched on your television or listened to on the radio. There were (are) ham radios. You could record your own tapes, print your own magazines/pamphlets/books, put up your own flyers/posters. There are analytics on every single one of the modern equivalents of these things now, in fact I think you probably have to admit the point of the web has become to add analytics to stuff for advertising.

The era we're living in now is the least private, least anonymous era ever, it just doesn't feel that way because there's a huge inequality in who we're exposed to. In other words, some people argue that in village or tenement life there wasn't a lot of privacy, but that was maybe 40 people knowing when you had sex. Anyone with your smartwatch data has that info now, which a lot more than 40 people; they just don't live anywhere near you (well, probably not anyway).

They might, if Russia were dumping bodies on the moon, and if the Russian government had set as policy their intent to take the religious practices of native Americans into consideration when forming policy. But given that neither is true regarding Russia, while both are true regarding the US, your clarification makes little sense.

Obviously no one is going to listen to the Navajo. But to consider it nonsensical that the Navajo would even expect their religion to be taken seriously seems a bit infantilizing.

Honestly the hate for nuclear isn't understandable at all.

It has killed very few people, expense isn't a reason for hate, and everything else has pretty much been a win (land usage minimal, minimal byproducts, etc).

> The experiment could be a little better by using a more descriptive form of notation than PGN

The author seems more interested in the ability to learn chess at a decent level from such a poor input, as well as what kind of world model it might build, rather than wanting to help it to play as well as possible.

The fact that it was able to build a decent model of the board position from PGN training samples, without knowing anything about chess (or that it was even playing chess) is super impressive.

It seems simple enough to learn that, for example, "Nf3" means that an "N" is on "f3", especially since predicting well requires you to know what piece is on each square.

However, what is not so simple is to have to learn - without knowing a single thing about chess - that "Nf3" also means that:

1) One of the 8 squares that is a knights move away from f3, and had an "N" on it, now has nothing on it. There's a lot going on there!

2) If "f3" previously had a different piece on it, that piece is now gone (taken) - it should no longer also be associated with "f3"
