In California we have the CPUC which regulates utilities. Our three biggest utilities charge around 3x the national average for electricity. The largest--PG&E--has also been setting the state on fire and blowing up neighborhoods.

It doesn't seem like this model works either.
Yes. Many of the experiments involve single cell organisms where there is no brain involved. And the cognition he’s talking about are in different problem spaces than what we think of as “thinking” in the brain.

Honestly, it’s so difficult to talk about because it’s such a different way of looking at biology. I would suggest picking any one of his YouTube talks and watching it. He’s a very good explainer.

If I were South African, I'd want my government to not risk nuclear annihilation (or even blackmail) - however small the risk may be.

And if you aren't South African, and especially if you live in a country under NATO's nuclear umbrella, you have no business telling them they should risk their lives (for whatever reason).

Ask HN: Has Hacker News stopped uploading its dataset in 2022?
So I've played a couple of his games, and they are great (for me!) because they feel like old-school RPG games like the 'gold box' series (Pools of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds ...) but with a more modern interface and much more content.

I would say Spiderweb Software games are very different - necessarily - to something huge like BG3 or other AAA games because there is only so much a one-man developer or small team can do.

Focusing on telling interesting stories and allowing the player to really explore the game world while letting them feel their choices are meaningful is key, I think. However, I'm sure Jeff has blog posts on the philosophy behind this, so probably read him instead :)
This is the strategy I always use with that use-case. Especially with "assets" folders where thousands of little icons and drawables and the like.
I think a lot of the time game acting and character modeling is actually worse than the writing itself. To me, there was an uncanny valley when voice acting became the standard. A lot of performances degrade the script itself, whatever you think of the script. It also makes me think of Harrison Ford's line about the Star Wars movies. "George! You can type this shit, but you sure can't say it! Move your mouth when you're typing!"

This isn't quite what Harrison Ford meant, but it feels like a lot of writing feels worse when it has to be acted and performed. When I just read it, my mind fills in the blanks, so to speak, and the "performance" feels more natural.

This is also a bit of an aside, but I also find it incredibly distracting when people in some made-up fantasy world happen to emote and speak just like trendy people today. "Oh, these hardened warriors, who have had a life wholly unlike anything I've ever experienced speak just like American actors in a movie made after 2020."
The article misses the point on the findings and the proceedings themselves. It's practically impossible for "Israel" to comply with the provisional measures without cessation of all hostilities, and the plausibility of there being a genocide (to be clear, it absolutely is one, just getting a legal verdict on that is a laborious process) means that foreign states are less able to prop up the Jewish supremacist regime materially and politically. That judges from predominantly western nations voted so comprehensively against the atrocities being committed and the public statements made by the politicians should make the Zionist regime a bit more circumspect about it's behaviour, however their arrogance will probably prevent that outcome. Their days are numbered though, thankfully.

Scalable genome-wide mapping to identify nonessential genes in phages
I've always found that note-taking by hand in school and university (implicitly through cursive, because I would find writing out in block letters way too tedious) - to really help recall and understanding, even if I was writing down what I hear by wrote. Have never had the same feeling typing out the same way into a laptop (which is what I now do at work) - that ends up more as a data-filing exercise.

Ask HN: What's your oldest piece of electrical equipment?
There's a strong possibility I'll be moving from the UK to North America this year. I've found myself looking at all my "stuff" and thinking about what's actually worth taking with us. It's only now that I've noticed my TV is from 2008, my toaster from 2000 and my SNES from 1994!

I still use these things frequently, even daily in the case of the toaster (my wife doesn't like it though, it takes ages to toast sourdough).

I’m one of those people who skips all the cutscenes. Very few games have stories interesting enough to pay attention to outside of what they show you through gameplay. If I want a good story I’ll watch a movie or read a book. To me games are for the interactivity.

Solar panel recycling is a hot topic, that already works for some parts and even if we don't progress at all it will not cost hundreds of billions per country like it does now for nuclear already. Per country is vague but mostly large countries have nuclear now anyway and dozens if not hundreds of reactors. Yeah, "same".

I don't think they're that bad necessarily. These sorts of vague and fuzzy categories are very common in human communication. Even though there's tons of exceptions and non-central examples to these categories, to the point that they're basically useless for anything formal, they tend to have actual value to normal human beings that need to communicate.
I think Dropbox has all the features you mentioned from Google Photos, except possibly for tag-style albums instead of directory-style, and photo-focused tooling such as cropping and so on.

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick... turning into Bladerunner
Yeah sorry I deleted it because I sort of figured out what you meant.

But I see exactly what you’re saying. I’m pivoting the project in a different direction. Scrapping the courses, focusing on the editor. The goal is to ease the learner out of those restricted and unrealistic sandboxes and into professional environments with professional tooling.

"The Man In the High Castle" by Phillip K. Dick takes place in an alternate reality San Francisco where the Japanese and Germans won World War II. The main character is a Jew hiding from extermination who runs a shop selling Pre-World War II American memorabilia. There are a few sci-fi things like global rocket travel in there, and definitely plenty of dystopia.
Ask HN: How to create a simple 2D game in C?
I'm interested in learning more about graphics programming and getting into some lower level coding than I'm usually doing, so I want to start by making some simple 2D games in C.

I'm particularly curious about how someone experienced in the field would approach this task using simpler tools, and that's why I'm looking at a fairly simple language like C (compared to something like C++) and doing only 2D for now.

Can you recommend some good learning resources that can help get me started?
There will always be conflict. It is human nature. The issue of the article seems to be more about kinetic war as conflict. The internet/media is a theatre of war.
There's a timeline here. [1] We started screening at airports and ports on January 17th. The first tests were created (and found to be faulty) on January 20th, before China had even issued its first public warning. This was all even though the CDC still evaluated the risk as low, and it was not clear if human to human transmission was even possible. The Wiki does not specify, but it's implied that by January 27th formal testing for all relevant entrants became mandated as we reached thousands of people being tested. By February 2nd travel restrictions were in place, which many media outlets then framed as being racist - emphasizing how the public at large was still treating the virus at that point.

It does not seem like a poor response, in my opinion.

I searched around and found that "utility patents" are basically the default type of patent (as opposed to design patents or plant patents). Also, contrary to what the above passage might suggest, utility patents expire after 20 years, so it's not like companies will have a perpetual license over a particular trait. Finally, it's unclear how tightly scoped a "trait" has to be in the current patent regime. I would agree that exclusive rights for "heat tolerant broccoli" would be bad for innovation, because it prevents other companies from trying to developing other ways of heat resistance. However, I don't see anything wrong with granting exclusive rights to "heat tolerant broccoli broccoli by modifying this particular gene". Given how bad the Guardian article is with other parts of patent law, I'm somewhat skeptical of their implication that you can patent entire functional categories.
Distribution costs and production costs are different things.

The grid itself needs to be paid for as does electricity production. A random neighborhood that wants a huge number of Christmas lights isn’t an issue from the production side, but it can be a real issue in terms of distribution without using enough kWh to pay for that infrastructure.
There's still Garmin... but honestly, I don't understand why people insist on paying hundreds of dollars for a "name", when the watch you are describing is only worth $50, give or take.

Amazfit, Xiamoni, Pautios, etc. There's a flood of competitors on Amazon selling the functionality you describe at a price level that makes it non-worthwhile for the "name" brands. That's why those famous brands exit the space.

There are two leagues of "smart" watches. At the high-end, "cell phone on your wrist" tier, there's Apple and just enough smaller players to keep Apple somewhat honest. It's really more fashion accessory than practical device.

At the basic "pedometer, Bluetooth notifications from my phone, and week-long battery" tier, there are tons of options. But margins are razor thin, so the cool names don't play in that space. Down here you're talking about a purely utilitarian device rather than a fashion accessory.

I agree with essentially all of this, and I really think the barrier to entry for packaging should be lower. It was deeply helpful to me while learning Linux to be able to write a Bash PKGBUILD, maybe 20-40 lines, to have that clear structure and ease my own update process, while also making it available to others on the Arch User Repository and learning from comments others left. These days I can whip up a simple PKGBUILD for a simple project I discover in just a minute or three, and it led me to so much experience handling build issues and software dependency structure.

I would leap for joy to see Red Hat or Debian or even Gentoo make inroads here, but I haven’t looked closely enough and recently at Debian, and .ebuild files hurt my brain. I do believe I recall Gentoo requiring more work to get my packages available and listed anywhere.

There's Scheme. There may be constructs like DO and WHILE (though I don't remember if these are standard or just common extensions of Scheme), but they're often just macros implemented using inner functions and tail calls.

Instead of using every n'th letter, how about using a pseudo random number sequence generated by a simple math equation, like the one posted here a few days ago[1], and add that to every letter. With that the data should be shuffled basically beyond recognition though the effort needed to decode has increased even more.

You are misrepresenting my argument here. I have zero intention to restrict your rights to view the public. What I take offense with is uncontrolled (permanent) storage of views of the public.

If there is no agreement on these things being materially different, and thus requiring a different evaluation of competing rights, then further discussion is mood.

We use split DNS and the admins can't even do it right, they keep fucking it up and configuring one DNS view but not the other, so when I'm on VPN I randomly can't use certain domain names.

Also as another commenter mentioned, it is impossible to tell based on the name if it is an internal or external resource

I'm curious what split DNS offers that a separate internal zone wouldn't.

> This is why I stressed considering what is marginalized out. I'll use an extreme example. Let A = [1,1,1,1,50000] and B = [100,100,100,100,100]. Is A > B? Mean(A) = 10k, Mean(B) = 100. Median(A) = 1, Median(B) = 100. Similarly Congress can, on average, beat the market while 2/3rds of them do not. I hope we see that the math even allows for us to approach 0% of members beating the market while an average value can.

That’s a wildly different claim though.

If you’re saying one person beat the market by a suspicious amount, you should say that. You should not say that a large group of people beat the market. The large group of people on average did not. Using the mean to describe a group dynamic when your mean is dominated by a single outlier is lying with statistics. I am a data scientist fwiw.

> I am certain you know that "difficulty" is about intentional skill and not a reference to an act of god. You have removed any doubt that a conversation can happen in good faith.

I don’t care about your semantic argument. It is very easy to beat the sp500 on a given year by random chance. I have done it for the last six years by a negligible amount. Do I have any particular insight? No. I’m 95% dumped in SPY and my 5% did a bit better.

It is only beating it repeatedly and by a meaningful amount and net of any fees related to funds or investment managers that are hard. SPY is not a magic, difficult to beat goal. It’s simply a solid, average performing strat that takes zero effort. The reason most funds underperform it is because they do zany high risk stuff. If your portfolio is comprised of largely normal investments in common companies you’ll on average match the SPY with about half of your years beating it.

> Clearly you do. But I actually don't. I don't wrestle with pigs.

I really don’t. I don’t actually think politicians should be allowed to trade stocks at all for appearances alone. I just don’t like bad stats.
