Unfortunately I'm in the rather unhelpful position (which I suspect is the position most philosophers also find themselves in, hence producing the problem you've so astutely pointed out) of not really remembering how I got into philosophy. I took a few college courses, read the textbooks, then started Googling the names of philosophers that seemed interesting and reading primary or secondary sources about their ideas. So all I can really offer is the sort of textbooks I began with, because I do think I found their format uniquely helpful for getting me into the thick of interesting things quickly: namely, primary source anthology textbooks!!! These are great :D I love them to pieces and always intend to read more.

Basically, try to find books that are composed entirely of the juicy sections of primary sources on a given subject from all sorts of different points of view, preferably with some footnotes and introductions to give proper context. Not handbooks or something where it's content by many authors, but written for the occasion — stuff made of primary sources. Things like this[0], although I haven't read that particular specimen since most of the ones I read to get into philosophy were bespoke ones made by my professors. Also, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is indispensable for getting a real sense for the philosophical debate about any given topic — the arguments back and forth in all their minutae. Also have Wikipedia handy for definitions of technical jargon (always read the "criticism" or "responses" sections! and also remember Wikipedia is often incomplete).

In my opinion then the general point is that to become familiar with, and even good at thinking and arguing about, even rather deep philosophy, you don't necessarily need to sit down and munch through a dense and possibly dull primary source or didactic textbook from cover to cover unless you want to. Engaging with primary sources is good, but doing so when and where it seems interesting, on your own terms, in bite sized chunks, with secondary sources to supplement and broaden your horizons, is more likely to avoid burnout and help you digest things, so it's better in the end.

Also, I highly recommend Philosophical Investigations, it's very good and reasonably accessible from what I've read of it.

Almost any combination of reagents can work as primary cell - even a literal potato!

But designing a secondary (rechargeable) cell is a different story... Every promising chemistry has been investigated for many decades and yet the successes are few. Magnesium, sodium or aluminium-based rechargeable battery can in theory be just as capable as lithium-based one, but we can't just get them to work.
Sadly, this is all academic because in all commercial work, “designers” demand that you reimplement SELECTs to make them look a very, very specific way “consistently across every OS, for our branding’s sake,” leading to devs implementing them as a soup of 42 nested DIVs, an SVG or two, and 12 event handlers, and they still don’t act right when the dropdown doesn’t have enough space below it in the viewport.
I somewhat agree with your point (esp. that MSVC is hideous) but I also stand by mine. I don't feel that checking the capacity is something that would be in my tight loop, because checking for capacity to hold N is something you do before adding N items, which amortizes the cost, meaning the capacity check is just off the real hot path. So it doesn't feel like a realistic use case.

Speaking of realism, putting these in quickbench seems to confirm that the differences between them are not material, and that the STL version is in fact the quickest, but they are all essentially free. There's not a way to make a realistic microbenchmark for this, for the same reason that it doesn't feel like a real-world performance issue.

By the way clang does a much better job here: https://quick-bench.com/q/XcKK782d-7A6YHbiBRTlOnIRnPY
One thing to keep in mind is that the energy density of gasoline is a chemistry measurement.

The energy density of a gasoline power train is a different measurement taking into account chemistry and physics.

Specifically car engines can only turn 33% of gasoline’s stored energy into motion. Which still puts gasoline ahead in terms of efficiency relative to hydrogen or battery powertrains but reduces the difference a lot.
Maybe I misunderstand you: I believe they are saying that EDIT.EXE, an executable that edited text, used the Topaz font. Microsoft Word uses fonts, but those fonts aren't named "Word".
>your service area can't overlap any other service area, regardless of how awful it is

That's regulatory capture by the majors. They don't want actual competition to reduce the value of their 'investments' so they avoid competing with each other, and smother all other parties in legislation and lobbying.
Inventables X-Carve is also a good option, very similar to the OpenBuilds machines but just slightly more refined and integrated.

I've had mine for years and love it.

Energy density of gasoline is deceptive because of how inefficient ICE engines are in practice. A Prius getting 50mpg is only the equivalent of 1.5 miles per kWh when many EV’s get ~4 miles per kWh.

Where gas really shines is ultra cold temperatures where you can make use of the waste heat. But even here it’s still not very efficient.

I was hoping that would be the case!

Unfortunately, the bitmap font manipulation tools I'm using (monobit¹ and BitsNPicas²) do not support putting more than one strike into an OpenType wrapper. If there's some other tool that can do that assembly, I'd like to hear about it.

What are some of the good techniques you’ve found success with?
are you asking what is safer about, eg, selinux vs regular linux? I think that is pretty self-evident that a constrained user experience results in a reduced attack surface.

these questions are silly if you pivot them to be about other things rather than the fruit company, just like the arguments that "[company] needs to run open-infrastructure so other companies can build commercial products on [company] servers".

It's rather obvious they're being asked in bad faith with the intention of dragging down the discussion. You know perfectly well what SELinux and application sandboxing are for, and that they're net benefits.
exactly, in the court rooms you have scientists on each side of the case. They've all graduated from the same Ivy Leagues, just are getting paid by different teams.
The immediate one is that precompiled binaries will just work, as long as they don’t do I/O (the memory map for IO devices being implementation specific).

Do you really need JIT if every targeted device has the same ISA?
Indeed, highly recommended!

At Vancouver Hack Space we recently upgraded from LaserCAD (terrible software that came with our 80W CO2 laser cutter ~10 years ago) to LightBurn. It's been a joy.
It seems so inconvenient. My wife has to shut off the air conditioning if I want to drive the car? I can't store my solar when I'm at work during the day? I can't go for a drive at night because the house used all the power that was stored in the car?
> the content is pretty much similar to twitter

I disagree. I find Mastodon to be much more like the Twitter of '08 that we all loved.

It's like watching over the shoulder of a stranger as they go about their day. But you're welcome there! You can say hi and the stranger is happy to have you.

It's real people sharing their weird hobbies. The often-boring minutiae of their daily life. Their feelings and hopes and dreams.

I've made friends. I feel like I know people. I love it.
You can try to guess the reason for such high temperature user boiling, it's not hard.

There is a single TOS and privacy agreement for all Google services. If you “just” log in to Chrome to synchronize history because “it's convenient”, you also allow everything else, including AdSense and other all-across-the-web tracking. By formally becoming a client, you lose most of legal protections against indiscriminate data collection.
Less people being willing to go fight and die in pointless wars is at least a small positive sign for society.

There is no use in hanging out for solid state batteries in the near future. The volumes will be small, the tech will be bleeding edge, and the batteries will be very expensive. The best fit for these batteries right now is drones.
It might be the age of the kids; it's tough to snap older kids out of their disinterest in their parents, but vacations add leverage. I don't have experience with older kids, but I was told this recently by some parents.

Ask HN: Why Keybase?
Along with many others, I did the Keybase identification thingy - adding the key on my Hacker News profile. Do you still use Keybase, how, why — what’s different?

Yeah a lot of these questions are just obviously bad-faith and wouldn't be made in any case except for the fruit company. It's intentionally dragging down the discourse with dumb bullshit.

"selinux had an escape once therefore it's useless!" no, that's not how that works and you know it.

"gatekeepers should have an obligation to interoperate with third-party systems!" oh so google needs to run open SMTP relays to allow third-parties to build commercial operations on google's infrastructure and send mail to google's users? google needs to not block unwanted commercial solicitation from third-party operators because they "have to interoperate"?

etc etc

in this case - ctrl-f for "sandbox" and virtually every single one of the comments is some variant of the same obviously bait/flamewar comment.

the discourse is always really bad in these threads and frankly a ton of it is android users who can't help but roll in the shit and sling insults constantly ("apple sheeple who only care about blue bubbles", etc) and we've completely normalized them acting out (both as a society and here on HN) for some reason.

But, and this is the frustrating part, you're applying a terrible double standard there. With nuclear you're focusing on the tiny part that is hard to deal with. In solar you're ignoring the heavy metals [0]. By mass, there will be at least comparable heavy metals to the amount of dangerous nuclear waste. Probably more, given how fuel-lite nuclear can get.

And with nuclear a risk of cancer sees people believing that this stuff needs to be locked in containers for all of time while with solar panels if a few people get silicosis over that time frame you're going to do the rational thing, shrug and say "oh well". Over all of human history, the risk of solar panel waste killing a bunch of people indirectly is basically a certainty. It is a big world and, I repeat, this waste is with us forever. Or if we admit that it will be recycled as an argument ... so will the nuclear waste, in all likelihood. The stuff is an energy source. It'll be like when they figured out that oil was good for fuel back when it used to be a toxic waste product.

We don't need to isolate nuclear waste forever. We can cordon off a dump somewhere for the nasty stuff and make plans to deal with it for 300 years. Then move on with life. Odds are good it will be feedstock for a nuclear plant at some point in that timeframe.

To be clear, I don't mind that we're ignoring the negligible costs in solar. But they aren't a problem in nuclear either. If we agree to ignore negligible risks (like we do for literally every other industrial process), all of these objections start looking a bit silly. The opponents of nuclear are correct that the risks can't be reduced from where they are, but the risks are already lower than comparable sources of energy.

That does look like a cool product, but I will say I don't love the idea of being restricted on how many tables, columns and rows I can have in my SQLite database...
Oil leads to geopolitical destabilization since where it is found just happens to be a very volatile region. Even if the Americans somehow detached from the world market for oil (considering they have enough their own), the Chinese definitely aren't willing to forgo energy security by stopping their much more aggressive EV development programs.

Gasoline got us this far for a hundred years, now we can pursue a different path?
all of those should have a primary source. Twitter is merely a secondary source.

So to avoid twitter, you can subscribe to the primary source.

At least it used to be this way. But then a few official places that annouce things have turned to use twitter as their primary source.
The Roundup lawsuits are a factor. One of their largest products is an albatross.
> No. I want an address that can connect to the hosts on the Internet, but I don't want random hosts on the Internet to connect to it.

Gotcha glad we are on the same page now, so you do want the functionality of an inbound deny all rule, which is configured by default on all consumer routers, regardless of if they are IPv6 or even NAT/IPv4.

Why in the world, would you ever, want to expose all your local hosts to the Internet by default after all? That would be insanity.

It also has nothing to do with IPv6.

> It's a matter of gatekeeping health for a profit and how quickly it becomes infinitely corrupt.

Your statement isn't really saying anything. "infinitely corrupt"? What does that even mean?
Sure sure, down the memory hole. No one said Twitter would collapse after firing 7500 people. Everyone assumed it would be fine. All of these articles were simply conjecture, just something to speculate.

When facts are uncomfortable, just rewrite the narrative.
Gasoline can be made in a chemical plant from bio-organic feedstock. With sufficient energy input, anything is possible.
Going off grid is easier than keeping the grid around when you have batteries. You need an automatic cutoff that prevents backfeeding to the grid during outages for safety. Off grid you do not have such a constraint.
> But Twitter is/was not a utility, not a “modern post office” not a “town square”

Yes and no. The thing that makes a social media useful (not necessarily good) is the same thing that makes it hard to leave: userbase. Centralization.

I think it would be weird if people __weren't__ upset. You act as if it is easy to make a collective decision to move platforms. I can't get a collective decision in my friend group for where we should go get food and drinks, and that requires far lower consensus and the stakes/effort needed are much lower. People also frequently complain about places they visit in real life, including restaurants they frequent.

> It’s yet another corporate-owned

Btw, being privately owned doesn't mean it isn't a public space.[0] This should be a bit unsurprising when we look around places and how people organize. People go where other people are, full stop. Doesn't matter if it is public or private property (clear example being malls or cafes). Doesn't matter of online or offline. The major difference is we don't treat online spaces as abstracted versions of offline spaces despite them often being built to serve as that exact thing.

When?

For 20-years now we’ve heard graphene, would revolutionize the world.

Not just batteries, but throughout tech.

But unless I mistaken, there’s not a single graphene product on the market yet.

Maybe it’ll be like AI. Where no major advancements happened for 50-years, and then ChatGPT was made.
Ethanol fits your bill perfectly. It is liquid like gasoline, easy to produce, easy to transport, and burns cleanly. It doesn't release any carbon into the atmosphere that wasn't already there, assuming you got it by fermenting plant matter and used renewable energy for distillation.

Only problem with ethanol is that it directly competes with human food production.
I lurk Reddit for local news without ever logging in. They recently started restricting anonymous users to a limited amount of comments on long threads.

>I wonder what the limit of computing power per joule is

Today you're going to learn that the universe puts a hard limit on this known as "Launder's principle".

To derive it in short, the (information) entropy on the input side of a single traditional logic gate is 2 bits, but on the output side it is just 1 bit. This seems to imply that the (physical) entropy of the computer would go down after the computation, because your computer had more possible physical states it could be in at the time of input than it seems to have at the time of output. But this is impossible as it violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

To resolve the contradiction, each logic gate must be putting the missing bit of entropy on an untracked non-computational degree of freedom within the physical system. In other words the untracked "missing" information is encoded as seemingly random waste heat, and dumped into the environment at room temperature.

That's absolutely not true. Anti-semitism was prevalent in the mainstream in the early 20th century. Not all that different than racism against blacks.

Hell, look at surveys in part of Europe. Anti-semitism is a sizeable minority now. Imagine what it was like a century ago.

"up by 40%" only on a study of people living on or near farms where glyphosate is sprayed.

Actual probability you will get NHL from roundup if the figures are accurate (again, limited study results, no causation found), in the worst case, goes from 2% chance to 2.8% chance.

Amazingly, none of this considers the additives to roundup that aren't glyphosate, which everyone agrees are much more likely to hurt you. The case seems to hinge on the least harmful part of Roundup.

This whole case is a great example of a lack of scientific literacy and a whole lot of fear, combined with a dislike for large corporations, resulting in a whole lot of disinformation. Roundup might be bad for you, but we still don't actually know, because we have no causative proof.
The deal is just to make Google the default search engine on iOS.

> Then you would initiate this connection using "Local:Address:B"; and since it's prefix ("Local") matches the prefix of one of your addresses:"Local:Address:A", then your OS would automatically use that as it's source address.

This is the step that I'm particularly concerned about. Suppose that I have a Host B on my network, and I want to totally ensure that it has nothing to do with the global Internet, so I assign it only a local address and no global address. Then, I set up a local DNS service in my network, so that any host can ask for "Host.B" and get "Local:Address:B" back.

The problem is, will every kind of Host A, no matter what kind of embedded or IoT or corporate nonsense it's running, be able to properly manage both its local and global source addresses, and select its local address when it wants to connect to "Host.B"? This is a lot more to expect from a host than with IPv4 NAT, where Host A just uses its local address, and the router transparently handles the differences between local and global connections.
If we count generations that way, then yeah, sure.

But we could also count like: 5, 5 Wave II, 6, 6E, 7.

In this case, 2 generations behind would be either Wi-Fi 5 Wave II or Wi-Fi 6. Those are both quite good! My workplace is just deploying Wi-Fi 6 now, and at home I still have Wi-Fi 5 Wave II.
Over the years since, I think the primary characteristics you'll find from their slate are either "quickly disavowed the Sad Puppies movement when they found out they were endorsed" or "have in the years since turned out to be just fine with people being pricks in shared spaces."
I have not tried it, but what I read from Fontforge's documentation sounds a lot like it could do it.

Also Glyphs 3 seems to support it. "Each glyph contains a single image file. However, images can be provided for different pixel sizes.". It's been years since I last worked with Glyphs and back then it was more of a creation tool than an editor. I don't know if that has changed.
Not economically. Oil is still the best way to get gasoline, and using other processes and inputs makes EVs even more attractive.
Indeed! But can we actually purchase solid state batteries with higher Wh/kg for drones (or other uses)? It'd be great to see some such on the market, not just in labs for the automobile-makers.
