It’s 2024 and I have two major US ISPs available and neither will let me reliably use IPv6 unless I’m on a vpn and the addresses are all private ones that don’t (logically) route to the Internet.
> Hasn't the big bang basically been disproven as a theory?

No. That isn't to say that there aren't issues with it. Notably that it explains many of the observable qualities of the universe today with high accuracy, with our current instruments.

Due to some inconsistencies with what is observed across great distance (and time) and the need to violate a number of principles (thermodynamics and speed of light) during the inflation, there are other theories[1]. It is recognized that the BB theory has serious problems that cannot be empirically tested.

Therefore, the theory holds as long as it continues to be useful in describing our local space.

Similar experience here with a ~2021 Model 3 in Massachusetts. Maintenance has been 0 thus far. Electric rates are high, I think.. compared to most of the US. I'm at $0.27/kwh looking at the last rolling 12 months.

Still, at $0.27/kwh that roughly equates to about $0.07 per mile based on recorded usage in the car.

In contrast... gas prices here are now $3.30/gallon. An ICE sedan might get 33mpg... so $0.10. A Hybrid however is on par or slightly beating (say 55mpg so thats $0.06).

I've driven 18,000 miles over the last 2 years. So... call it $270/year in savings vs the ICE. I have a 12yo ICE SUV used as the family car for long trips. Even though we don't drive it a ton, I still have to change the oil (which I do myself and costs ~$60 all in).

Is it an amazing savings. No. But the car is fun to drive, quiet, comfortable. It is our daily driver. The fact that I don't have to change its oil is a nice bonus.
My only issue with fish is that it has had a standing issue[1] for over 12 years where functions and blocks cannot be backgrounded. This makes backgrounding a series of commands in a script nearly impossible.

Mathacademy.com is pretty good for this. My kid used it in HS and liked it.

I wonder if we would even be using YAML or TOML to the degree we are now if JSON had support for trailing commas and comments.
There used to be relatively generous yearly allowances for savings (£1,000) dividends (£2,000) and CGT (£12,300) which meant most people would be exempt and not have to fill in a tax return.

Saving interest is often paid gross but if you go over the savings allowance and don't fill in a tax return HMRC will just automatically take more tax from your payslip.

There is also a £20,000/year ISA allowance which shields investment from tax so any holdings within an ISA can be ignored for tax purposes.

However, the dividend and CGT allowances have been reduced recently as the government tries to find ways to raise more revenue without raising the headline tax rates, and the £20k ISA allowance hasn't been raised for years despite inflation.

So as it stands, in the future a lot more people will have to start filling in tax returns.
This seems to work fine for Temporalio.
My point is that the lower risk for the majority of the journey will offset (partially or fully I do not know) the increased risk on take-off and landing. I would guess that the overall risk will end up lower for a WIG craft than a traditional high speed foiling vessel.

Also rocks are only a concern in a small area of ocean around the takeoff and landing areas, which will presumably be fairly well surveyed.

No kid is going to learn how to program in Assembly and C++, when interfacing with a custom microkernel, custom graphics API, and all of the technical requirements Nintendo demands (i.e. you must have a launch screen, loading times cannot be longer than X, read speeds cannot peak higher than Y), while cross-compiling your game and all dependencies to ARM, and precompiling all shaders ahead of time, for the Tegra X1, into your game. That's what developing for the Switch literally entails. Develop your game first and then you might get there.

This is a game console, not a PC. Developing games, for better or worse, whether it should be this way or not, is an extreme privilege. Sony basically never allows individual developers to register in any capacity. Xbox does, but if you want to actually publish a game, you're going to be in for a hard time.

I don't want to be monocausal, but a lot of this is simply Europeans spending time on this site and voicing opinions about American architecture.

freedom of speech is. numerous examples in several colleges and universitites. where the poor little leftists come and behave EXACTLY as communists did when they wanted to cancel stuff. socialism, communism are cancers that stupid turds are trying to insert into USA and its universities.

woke shit, DEI and all that racism that tries to hide itself under the drape of progress, is racism shit. instead of black people being the target like before we have the civil rights movements, now we have anti-white racists playing the same racist crap. white people are the root of all evil, they are the oppressors, they are the bad people, and they can only be "white racism" while minorities can never be racist nor do bad things. yeah, nice load of horseshit you got there.

you talk a lot, lefties. truth is, your acts have spoken, and shown the world you're just anti-white racists, using communist words.

wokism is dying. dei will die too. and the real world, the corporate world, is looking at you. soon you will get out of those colleges and universities, and you will get your communist-socialist shit shoved back into your asses from where it came out. you're a minority of stupid racists, and you're gonna get fscked beyond belief by the rest of the world.

shove that dei right up your ass.
The upfront cost of the car itself is a big part of total cost of ownership. About half if you drive 15,000 miles per year and keep the car for at least 10 years. For example I bought a 2008 car for $25,000 and drive it 10,000 miles per year. I finally reached the point where insurance, fuel, and maintenance also added up to $25,000. If I financed the car it would increase the CAPEX side. If I was a young driver the insurance would be much more expensive pushing up the OPEX side.

You need a lot of electric miles to make the upfront cost worth it. The biggest beneficiaries from energy cost savings are those who choose a long commute (or have to). But moving closer saves a lot of time and mileage. If only zoning were not so restrictive to allow for more housing supply closer in.
> Yeah; and the merging is correct in all cases.

No, it's obviously not.

I'd say most of the time the merging is incorrect, that is, it is in contrast to both of the parties intention. Unlike git, which actually notifies them, Loro just silently modifies both changes into something nonsense/wrong.

It's fascinating to me that the complexity of life always goes up. Outside extinction events, complex life generally seems to become more favourable over time. It's interesting that (to my knowledge) we don't see an ecosystem lose complexity in its entirety unless it's dying.

Simple organisms make a bedrock for complex organisms, and while the complex organisms have more specific needs, they are better at exploring, gaining, branching out. So they also kind of make a nest for the simple organisms by sprawling into the void and finding habitable niches that simple organisms wouldn't reach on their own.

On the time scale of technology, we began reaching out to other intelligences the second that we could, began trying to make them the second we thought we could know how. It's very reasonable to say that percolation is a defining property of life and intelligence.

I also think a lot of scifi's like hyperion, neuromancer, foundation. In human writing of the future, it seems like the endgame of higher intelligence is to find or create other intelligences, and get closer to them. Then interesting things happen in the wake of that.
> In computing, the robustness principle is a design guideline for software that states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". It is often reworded as: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept". The principle is also known as Postel's law, after Jon Postel, who used the wording in an early specification of TCP.

I didn't know, so if anyone wants to know, here's the summary from Wikipedia.

How do we know that other H sapiens have the same kind of experiences of existing as you have? Best I can do is that "I know, right?" is a fairly universal reaction, so we know that even if others' qualia are not identical to ours, they are at least isomorphic.

As to "more than mere stimulus-response", much of me is pretty basic stimulus-response. Certainly the derivative controller, and arguably all the proportional controller as well. It's only the integral controller that's not, and much of that could be adequately explained by an FSM with a high number of states. (it is a little known fact that Regexen were originally derived as a mathematical model of what neural networks could potentially recognise!)

You're allowed to have bad taste or do things like pain your house with leopard print or leave rusted cars in your front yard as decorations. Doesn't make it good.

In my tech-enthusiast mind I'm really interested in making peoples lives better so something that would instill some wonder in me would be something more like building Parisian boulevards, walkable, tree-line streets, and parks and such. Maybe even a train or bike lane. Something that would actually improve the livability of the city. An out of place skyscraper is just out of place. There's nothing particularly wonderful or interesting about it aside from how ridiculous it is. It reminds me of Dubai. Sadly, I thought we were trying to move past the Walmart-ization of the world.
The cities likely had some form of guild system to prove claims like this.

> a street and a building across said street

I guess different cities have different distributions of building heights, but living in NYC I feel like this is accurate living on any floor <10 and inaccurate on any floor >=10 (roughly). Even in the densest neighborhoods the fraction of tall skyscrapers is pretty low so if you're 10 stories up you'll usually be able to see pretty far even though you're still surrounded by much taller buildings.
Oh, ok that makes sense.
That's kind of irrelevant though. You could still have a big bang, just without the CMB as it's signature. In any case the fact that modeling cosmic dust backwards through time produces a redshifted black body radiation that more or less looks like the CMB is something you can't just dismiss. Or else you're not being scientific, you're just being religious.

Yeah, I agree with that. I should have been more specific in my comment. Going directly from feedback to _development ticket_ is (sometimes) bad. Sometimes when it's just "this is broken", it's fine.

I agree that you need some system to track feedback. I'm not convinced a board is the optimal choice, because (some?) feedback is kind of timeless. In my mind, it is never "done". Feedback can apply to future features that haven't been thought of yet when the feedback was originally processed, so it's valuable to keep it around in some sort of tag based system. You probably want a way to easily search it as well when designing new features.
There's nothing inherently wrong with using a regular expression here.

The security issue is that there are two different parsers and they interpret invalid input differently. This is a parsing differential vulnerability.

This security issue can (and does) occur whenever there is more than one parser implementation.

I think the crux of it is how the OP was talking about making claims "with confidence".

I think you're saying we can get a general sense of what is meant without a formal definition. That's a fuzzy definition; i.e., one with high uncertainty/low confidence. My point is that I don't know that we have the tools to make high-confidence claims. We can't even agree on when consciousness starts, whether it's a toggle switch or a dimmer switch etc. That all speaks to high levels of uncertainty, where we can't agree on a "public" language. I think the limits of language to describe the phenomena is right in line with the "we don't have the right tools" argument.
How do you figure this? One tower has less than 10x the elevators, less than 10x the footings, less than 10x the roof area, etc etc etc., vs 10 smaller buildings 1/10 the size. There are massive economies of scale to density.
All words are misleading without appropriate knowledge and reading level. If the meaning is constantly lost for you when reading science or economics, it's not because the writers are bad, but because your reading level and general knowledge level are not high enough to read those articles.

Human language has syntax, semantics and pragmatics. HN comment section has disproportionate number terminology nitpickers and misunderstanders who somehow have problems with semantics and pragmatics. They represent a small minority of HN users.

Two thoughts:

First is that some people, statically male, are simply aggressive, and looking for a target, and that target doesn't matter.

Alternatively, I suspect some amount of aggression is the result of perceived attention seeking behavior. Attention seeking behavior is a common adversarial action when competing for mates and social status. I suspect that unicycling taps in to this.

FindIC – Octopart Alternative
The old school unicycle took maybe a few hours and felt kind of safe to learn. You just step forward to get off.

The electric felt a lot more dangerous to learn. I practiced going back and forth in a hallway (holding the wall), then practiced riding freely and turning in a parking lot, then started riding around my neighborhood.

It is dangerous, though. One wheel in contact with the ground, people don't know how to react to you, plus high speeds and poorly maintained roads mean a mistake by you or another person can mean a hospital trip with serious injuries. I think the risk is easily 10x or more than what it is to ride a bike around.
