Didn't answer my question, but you know you can run a lightning node at home, right?

What does that have to do with Bitcoin?
I agree with you about security theater. The only reason I'm favorable to this approach is because it seems to provide accountable harm reduction in this case. It would stop many typical attacks while being very easy for any random government bureaucrat to test compliance with.
And when you stop taking it you go back to your old weight. Win for everyone except for the person using Ozempic.
wouldn't it use bluetooth in that case? Or does it create adhoc wifi connections somehow?
The only generic feature C has is the _Generic expression, which isn't a function, but closer to a switch(typeof(x)) expression.
It also forms the basis for the plot of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”
Why does it seem like the average American doesn't care at all about exactly how much sway corporate interests hold in our government? Boeing's influence on politicians and regulatory agencies is a glaring example. The safety of passengers should come first, but somehow the 737 MAX keeps ending up getting the necessary approvals to carry passengers even after multiple crashes and now the doors falling off.
I can't really fault them for hard banning anything to do with politics given that "propaganda but tailored to the individual, is reasonably articulate, and it scales!" is one of the things that might earn this technology heavy restrictions and they don't want any more attention on them than they already have.

I'm surprised that a forum of technologists doesn't even attempt to see the somewhat accidental strings that allow society to run efficiently as somewhat trusting with a cheap bullshit detector. If you break that down everything grinds to a halt.

Part of the answer could be that Airbus is European and regulated by different authorities.
It’s like calling a sum an additive product. Doesn’t really make a lot of sense.

OP here. I'm reworking the essay quite a bit, e.g. removing the vector space stuff, and the clumsy usage of the word "God".

I've been thinking about these things for so long while not really discussing it with anyone, so there's this soup of associations that doesn't make any sense to any outsider, nor even to me, now when I finally put it down into writing.

Anyway, the essay title will be updated to:

> Is there a canonical parametrization of all social groups that describes their culture?

which captures what I really want to talk about.

If anyone else is interested in this topic, feel free to email me.
Can you elaborate? By what metric are you judging competency and benefit?
It sounds a lot like Europe nowadays.
No; elephants are a good example of animals with relatively low cancer rates.
Start with the picture and maybe a verbal description, presenting an estimate of the ingredients and allowing corrections.

I should stop talking because this is too much work for me either way. Cooking is enough work without all this!!
Why specifically point out a sexual perversion. It seems like the least of the bad things an authority figure like a king could do.
That's again an example of cleanup associated with scope. I understand what you can do it with unwind-protect and friends.

But the essence of RAII is more than that.

In c++ if I add an opened file object to some collection and later remove it or destroy the collection, it is implicitly cleaned up.

For example let's say you are implementing an n-way out of core merge: in c++ you would create a priority queue of files objects ordered by the front current from item. You pop the front file object read the item and, if the file is not empty, push it back into the queue. Cleanup is implicit by removing the file from the queue and not explicitly adding it back. On early exit (because of an error or exception) the queue is automatically destroyed and recursively all the file objects.

There might be a way to implement this recursively with unwind-protect, but I think it is less natural.

For example python has ExitStack, which in practice is an ad-hoc container that supports recursive cleanup of contained objects, but is still not as convenient as having all containers do proper cleanup.
You seem confidently oblivious of security concerns, almost as if you're just here to shill for a janky app.
Moderate drinking is good for you?
Which one of my friends? And sure, maybe I contradicted myself. You on the other hand completely ignored or handwaved pretty important stuff like Israel colonies in areas that stopped fighting. Have a good day too.
I am somewhat curious what you think "free speech" means.
Counterpoint: elephants.
It is, but for different reasons to different people.
> Yeah, that seems great! Go for it!

I mean, it is the best performing asset of the last 10 years, so yeah, it seems pretty great to anyone who has a brain.

A 98% cash and 2% Bitcoin would beat the SPY returns for any 4 year period since inception. When making investments, its important to have a long term outlook. Do you just live day to day without any planning?
I did this in public networks and it did work, but I am not an expert in how they are set up. When do you think it would not work?
Why is it “punitive” taxes? If they are performing sufficiently productive work with the giant pickup, then they will be able to pass down the cost to their customers.

The purpose of the tax is to dissuade frivolous use that harms society at large. If the use is valuable enough, it will be reflected in the prices of the services it helps provide.
> if you're using GPL software, you have to publish the modifications. It's pretty simple...

If you redistribute GPLed binaries you have to be willing to provide the source that built that binary, whether it incorporated changes or not, to anyone who asks. “Provide” can include pointing someone at a public repo these days.
>It's not about that. But also statistically on average that idea is accurate in this case at least.

lol. No. Not at all. There is nothing to support this widely held idea. This is the very bias I was talking about.

I'm not sure how many, if any, are doing blue sky research (vs product-directed "research") any more the way that Bell Labs, IBM Watson and Xerox Parc used to do.

Look at what's going on with ML/AI - DeepMind now merged with Google Brain seemingly with a product focus, FAIR now moved into a product group alongside Meta's GenAI group, Microsoft essentially outsourcing AI to OpenAI, OpenAI may as well call itself GPTCorp - a single-product commercial enterprise.

I guess it's not surprising given how short term the thinking is of today's publicly traded companies.

Reading this reminded me of social identity theory which helps to understand why individuals might persist in false beliefs if doing so means they remain part of an in-group they perceive as more favourable than some undesirable “out-group” they compare themselves to.
Whatever the case, while it may be so that people who are less critical thinkers may be more prone to believing in conspiracies it seems there is a real social element to conspiracies. Probably if you want to help someone to see the light through their conspiracy beliefs, you would have to do more than provide “evidence” to the contrary, but rather look to address the underlying need for social connection and maybe even security within relationships.
All mainstream languages treat backwards compatibility as paramount at this point, it's table stakes at this point. Rust is no exception.

I will admit that because the library ecosystem in Rust is younger, you do see things like Clap's breaking changes more often than in other languages.
Yet substance abuse and overeating continue to be a common human failing. These people understand their consumption choices are unhealthy but still do them cause of stress, human weakness, and biochemistry.

Honestly absurd premise to think “they just don’t understand junk food makes them fat.”
_Generic can be used to merge a collection of functions.
But would vanish in 24 hours after becoming online. Government would think about scrapping the whole project but suddenly some foreign nation, which wrought a terrible war in the past, would chime in with a proposoal to co-fund the installation, but with one clause: they would name the commander.

Lua's simplicity is a liability for someone new to programming. The tiny standard library means you need to write by hand a lot of things you could just use in another language. Arguably good for learning fundamentals, but in practice just a good way to kill momentum and smother that learning spark that is the best resource of a novice.

Similarly the best way for a learner to stay motivated is to make something they are personally invested in, which usually involves integrating with something. With lua you need to get your hands into the toolchain and distribution stuff very early to do that, which has nothing to do with programming per se and is frustrating and disorienting for a newcomer.

I've taught people to code from scratch and lua is a worse-than-average language for it. It's a small language but that doesn't help a total novice very much. It's the core concepts of programming that is difficult for them, not memorizing language features. The only situation where I would use it is if they have a specific motivating goal that uses it, usually yes roblox.

SVG was the result of an effort to make an open standard for vector graphics. As is typical for open standards, it wasn't an entirely novel concept. There were several competing alternatives; IIRC, SVG was one of half a dozen proposals submitted, and most of those proposals were evolutions of prior designs/attempts at a standard. While flash was an original design, it was as much a "reinvented Shockwave" as SVG was a "reinvented flash".
Maybe in the 1990s. Now, try getting it running even on a network edge platform like those from Netgate. NetBSD's hardware support is singularly unstable and unusable.

Most new platforms port to Linux, commit drivers to the Linux kernel, and ignore the other platforms. The other platforms don't really seem to bother anymore, unfortunately. Things have bit-rotted to such an extent that FS will destroy large amounts of data and.. nobody seems to notice. Kernel panic reports are ignored. Debuggers fail to set functional breakpoints on native hardware. CPU quirks that need workaround to prevent panics are never committed.

Meanwhile, developing this kind of expertise is about as far from the minds of younger experimenters and hackers now as baking cakes and permaculture gardening were from the 00s hardware hackers decades ago. Not only is it far from the minds of younger experimenters, but even attempting to develop it hits a hard wall of hardcore, draconian behavioural purists, secops fashionistas who deride essentially any burgeoning attempts at writing drivers, and language revolutionaries who rage extensively at people for writing any new code in any language but their own favourite.

The situation is pretty harsh and it's likely not going to get any better anytime soon.
> When you play truant you have a better time… When you betray yourself, when you let yourself down… You have to be bad in order to discover what kind of good you want to be

This implies that being truant from school is some kind of a self-betrayal. School as constituted over the last 50 years ago or so is effectively no different from prison for many many people. If you are sedentary, intellectually inclined, and not cut out for a job in the trades, school may be good for you.

If you need fresh air or are entrepreneurial or competitive in sports or are better suited for welding than for trig, it is 12 to 16 years of punishment and being ground down.
It's not that I think it's acceptable. I'm thinking about how to reduce the harm of people doing unacceptable things that we can't stop them from doing. I would be very transparent about this. I would say this is harm reduction for people who are doing the wrong thing and is a waste of everyone else's time, but we have to do it anyway because software engineering has failed to govern itself as a profession and the government has failed to hold it accountable for its disasters.

The key thing is that it's both easy to test and would stop many attacks. Anyone can check whether the password field will take these forbidden keywords and patterns.

No question it's a pathetic thing to have to resort to, but pathetic is where things are at right now.

OP here. You're absolutely right. Thank you. I'm reworking the essay.

As I wrote in my top-level comment, what I really want to talk about is

> Is there a canonical parametrization of all social groups that describes their culture?

And not anything related to religion per se.
Praise to this website to how well it saves to .pdf, might sound insignificant but I've lost count to how many times i needed to manually adjust website elements or layout before having anything near a viable save or print.

China is still not in the same class. The ships that they can deploy to the region are weak in strike and area air defense capability. And they don't have much in the way of intelligence gathering that would be needed to employ those ships effectively. The most that the PLAN could manage would be to escort small convoys as a defensive measure.
I worked on SuperH3/4 compilers back in the day.

One thing I remember was how good Hitachi's documentation is! It was clear and concise and any quirk was well explained. The pseudo-code they used to describe each instruction was also good, C-like to the point that I was able to copy-paste the snippets with minor changes to write an emulator.

However the architecture itself was a bit annoying to work with because of the small opcodes. Doing something as simple as loading a 32bit immediate to a register ended up being 7-9 instructions. More realistically the compiler would put the values in LTORG and we'd load them from there in 1 or 2 instructions. Relative jumps were also an issue for the same reasons. It also inherited the infamous delay slots where half the instructions are illegal and the other half is quirky so we just NOPed them but I know that smarter compilers do useful work there.

That being said I do admire the elegance of how they fitted their 100 instructions with 16/24 registers in a 16bit opcode, it's a beautiful application of engineering trade-offs :).

In general, at least some ability to swim is a pretty basic skill. It should happen much earlier (and it did in my case) but my undergrad required passing a swim test or at least taking the Phys Ed course.

Does it? I thought the helicopter was just solar powered.
I was wondering that but I'm not sure if this has something to do with gut microbes which moderate drinking benefits due to the fermentation process. I think eating fermented food is really good for you. Could be wrong.
Definitely a popular item, though in certain markets (like HNers), there may be considerable hesitation to plug a phone/computer with sensitive business info into a charger of unknown provenance.

I used to take these but no longer do, since I don’t want to risk any shenanigans anywhere in the supply chain.
While scripting could be used for time-based animations, the preference was to use the declarative SMIL. Scripting support was intended to allow more sophisticated interactive graphics.
No... lol.

The amount of people who believe this garbage is amazing. Huawei has literal PRC members on its board and the PRC funded it with billions of dollars. Do I have to remind you that Chinese state-sponsored hackers broke into Cisco and other western firms and intellectual property stolen from those companies ended up in Huawei products?

Do you have anything similar to show how the US government personally helped Google?
> Along a similar line, I’ve heard it say that if you consider yourself a peaceful person but are not actually capable of great violence, then are you actually peaceful or simply harmless?

Why not both peaceful and harmless (for the moment)? This is a function of time. I don't think it's possible to make that statement without supplying the time parameter.

Also, I don't think peaceful people are not capable of great violence. It's about choice. I'm capable of violence, but I choose to not use that capability.
If RFK ran as a third party he'd take votes from the Republican candidate, not the Democrat one. What kind of Democrat is going to vote for someone who believes vaccines cause autism and HIV doesn't cause AIDS?
> The head of the FAA says it's time to reexamine the longtime practice of delegating some of the agency's oversight responsibilities to Boeing employees, raising the possibility of moving some of those duties to a third party.

Third party? I’m no expert, but I reckon the FAA should shift the FAA’s responsibility of Federally Administering the Aviation industry to the FAA. It would probably be a real bummer to have all of that sudden accountability and such, and to be fair I’m sure he didn’t assume he’d have that responsibility when he took the helm at that particular critical government regulatory agency. However, ensuring the safety of airplanes and protecting one of the US’s most important industries from the incompetence of grubby-fingered, greedy, executives might be a worthwhile pursuit.
Honestly - I'm not sure if people actually realise what they eat is bad for them.
And this I mean in the sense that the food industry goes out of its way to make sure food is addictive.
Simply not true, no amount of alcohol is good for you.

See: https://podcastnotes.org/huberman-lab/episode-86-what-alcoho...

Not saying everyone should be sober 100% all the time (I drink occasionally myself), but there are much safer and more fun alternatives (med dose psilocybin etc.)
Suburbs can be, see suburbs built pre-WWII which typically had a train line connecting them to the nearby city industrial center which was used for daily commuting of workers who walked or biked to the station.
> Moderate alcohol intake (vs none, occasional, or heavy)

I thought it had already been shown that the only healthy amount of alcohol is zero. I'm also surprised that "moderate" is better than "occasional".

Wow, congratulations! 55 lbs is a lot of weight to lose. Your approach of gradual changes and focusing on caloric deficit is refreshing compared to the extreme diets and fad-based approaches that seem to come and go every few months. Keep up the awesome work!
What are you talking about? No country in the EU forces you to do this. Can you take your political comments out of a tech forum please.
There are also advantages to a less car-centric society.

- "In 2022 the average vehicle costs $11,450 per year to own and operate. The breakdown of the figure comes to $4,496 for purchasing the vehicle, $3,120 in gasoline and motor oil expenses, and $3,834 in other vehicle-related costs." - https://www.investopedia.com/articles/pf/08/cost-car-ownersh... . If you are in a two-car family, and a less car-centric environment means you only need one car for those Costco runs and wind surfing afternoons, then you can save thousands of dollars.

- You can go out with friends to a bar and drink, and not worry about having a designated driver.

- There's much less need for “Restricted” or “Hardship” License for repeat DUI offenders.

- Kids have higher personal freedom as they don't depend on a parent to drive

- People who aren't able to drive (due to any of many reasons) have higher personal freedom

- During your commute you can read or do other things which occupy your attention.

- You don't have to worry about finding parking or paying for parking.

- Your taxes go down as you don't need to subsidize so much driving infrastructure

Having mass transit access also opens up possibilities for work you can't as easily get with a car. That's why places already have Park&Ride - parking at the job location is too expensive with only car access.

In a less car-centric society there should be little difference between the health car you get with a car and without. Plus, if your health condition means you can't drive, you'll likely have better healthcare access.
Other than LLVM portability concerns, I think Rust can for sure replace C/C++ libraries (I'm talking DLLs etc).

Sure, there will be a small C ABI shim but the developer experience writing in Rust I think is worth it.

Also, nowadays whenever I want to write a fast Python extension, I don't think twice before using pyo3, super simple to write and build.

In terms of server install ISOs, I can highly recommend mfsBSD, and also cloud-init to trigger post-install setup
Maybe they have written some kernel modules which claim to be GPL licensed to be able to access all kernel APIs unimpeded? So it’s their interesting code infringing GPL.

Maybe they modified tools, kernel or some GPL licensed tool to work with their hardware, and don’t want to spill the beans?

Possibilities are endless.
