As far as the healthcare system is concerned, patients' time has zero cost. And the system is already stretched as it is trying to deliver care to an aging population with a growing chronic disease burden. The only exception is concierge medicine but that obviously isn't a scalable solution.

On an personal basis the best approach is to delay the onset of chronic disease as long as possible and minimize your dependence on healthcare. While there is some luck involved, most people can achieve significant improvements.

Speaking of Scott Aaronson he has more recently (2013) wrote a much longer exposition about consciousness and (quantum) computation, and has a chapter specifically for Penrose: https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/giqtm3.pdf
For this situation, if it feels worth it, I have been applying chatGPT Q&A on the jargon to bridge the gap. I haven’t read this article through yet, so can’t recommend, but in many cases it’s a super useful contextual jargon clearer.
> (there's no way to torrent on a phone or smart TV AFAIK),

I have no idea for "smart tv", but at least for Android phones, F-Droid has plural torrent clients listed:

https://search.f-droid.org/?q=torrent&lang=en

Now, actually 'torrenting' on a phone also sounds like a recipe for rapid battery drain unless the phone is also plugged in to a charger, but that is independent of the "ability" to do so.
Right, this is a reasonable compromise between stability/profitability of risk-buyers and fair pricing for risk-sellers. Prices are unconstrained at transaction, but outsized profits can be clawed back.

The point is no part of this is _fraud_.

Yep. Healthy businesses should have a diversified revenue stream.

The hardest thing for me in the CRO role has been getting product to understand this, which pisses them off – but if we don't, the only way to survive will be to change the roadmap at every shift in the market, which will piss them off even more!
Again, is that what you see is happening with tinted windows and loud cars? We must live on different planets because the only thing I see happening with that is a whole lot of nothing. People just drive with tinted windows and loud cars, nothing happens, and the annoying/harmful circumstances of this just continue indefinitely.
Weird. Jellyfin doesn’t make me do that.
Well, if you are an experienced pirate, this is not an issue. You have an adblocker that filters out all the stupid ads and scams, and you only go to a few sites and know which links you should click. Getting that kind of experience won't take more than a few hours.

The one thing my mom noticed and I've noticed is people are healthier in middle and old age than they used to be. Mom said when she was a kid (circa 1950) people in their 50's and 60's were usually just shot. I have friends pushing into their 70's who are very good shape. So I think the years of decline and exit are getting compressed. People are living healthy longer.

You can of course be unlucky and you can obviously wreck your health.

So pay for several services and then pirate the content because it’s just more convenient. Best of both worlds. You’ve paid and you get the content in the form(s) you need.
There are websites you can go to and stream any tv show or movie for free in a couple of clicks. It's impossible to get cheaper and easier (ip law) than that.

And yet, sometimes you do want to reuse code in infra configs and build pipelines. I have definitely wanted to reuse code in hcl, to the point that I wrote a Ruby script to generate it because that was easier than trying to do it in hcl.

It's funny how when something happens in Asia some commenters always say it's because of the culture.

Sure there might be cultural differences, but maybe this guy is just careless.

There was a case in the US where someone pretended to be a cop, called a fast food restaurant, and actually convinced the manager to strip search an employee.

I guess this is also a case of cultural power distance.

If you search "dune streaming" in Australia, the top result (besides Google's little bits) is Netflix with the page title "Watch Dune".

If you visit that page as a subscriber, it doesn't say they don't have it. It just has the metadata and a "Remind me" button. If you visit in incognito, you get a 'not found' error. Maybe they have it for another locale. Maybe they used to have it. Maybe they will have it in the future. But you're left to guess.

Also, H265 encoded 1080p is hitting the sweet spot between quality and file size. About 500-ish MB per hour of content for decent quality.

Its sort of like when VBR encoded MP3s became the standard in the privacy scene in the early 00s. The quality is good enough for most folks plus the reduced file size means that it downloads really fast on average connections and isn't prohibitively expensive to store so you can create a large library very quickly. Also I think the shift to SSDs from spinning rust delayed the adoption of widespread video piracy 10-ish years ago because the cost per GB was just too expensive and most people weren't going to buy a NAS. But now we are starting to move past the inflection point. SSDs are bigger, H265 reduces file sizes, hardware accelerated H265 encoding is easier (meaning more H265 content), and devices that can decode H265 are becoming cheap and ubiquitous. You can install Plex on your laptop, load up on content, and have a better UX than Netflix.
With the move to pyproject.toml in 2022[0], Poetry has become our goto method.

With the lock file being default, we don't worry about different installs in different envs.

Having come from the Rails world, Bundler system was solved for... a decade? So I was surprised it was such a mess in Python until so recently.

At the core, the thing that makes Poetry and Bundler system so predictable is 1, lock file. 2, ability to install different versions in diff locations and referencing the version you need to load. Each alone isn't enough.

npm had the same problem pip suffered from, you may have a version installed different what the req.txt, proj.js or even lockfile says but because it exists inside the location, it gets loaded. It wasn't until yarn2 did node_modules finally get moved out such that side-by-side versions wasn't awkward.

[EDIT]

If you're not using Poetry + Docker for deployment yet, I 100% recommend it as the "boring" method.

RUN curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
RUN /root/.local/bin/poetry config virtualenvs.create false

COPY poetry.lock pyproject.toml ./

RUN --mount=type=secret,id=gh_priv_key,target=/root/.ssh/id_rsa \
/root/.local/bin/poetry install --without dev --no-root

Show HN: Breadboard circuit simulator for iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro
I spent several years teaching introductory electronics at my local public library. My students often found existing circuit simulation software unintuitive and cumbersome to learn. Instead of accelerating their learning, the software often slowed them down.

Breadpad is an app that attempts to bring a joyful user interface to anyone wanting to simulate a circuit.

I am constantly making improvements, and would very much appreciate your feedback!
> Apply the same logic to literally any other item and your argument falls apart (I wouldn’t have bought that chocolate bar anyway so they’re not really losing money from me)

The rest of your argument notwithstanding, that's because stealing chocolate bars is zero sum, whereas copying films is not.
We get the concept, theres just no given evidence and it doesnt pass the smell test. I havent ridden a bike in years i bet im exactly as "skilled" as the last time i was on it. Driving is just not a skill you get worse at if you dont do it for two years. Ive done it, and felt no difference.

Netflix also became popular due to people hating ads. Ads or piracy, which funds criminal activity? Hint: Hear social media CEOs testify in congress.

This seems like a PR piece to promote and justify Netflix's change in mind and business model.
> Yes that is quite literally also depriving them of revenue, and quite possibly their only source of revenue if they're a free website/app.

I think I made an error here by assuming that every reader of Hacker News would be at least somewhat pro-adblocking.

So since you appear not to be, let me ask you:

* Do you use any ad blocker at all? If yes, can you define precisely when ad blocking is stealing and when it is not?

* If I visit a random website with ads, and I don't have an adblocker, the ads on that site may be used to track me across other sites, build a profile of me to sell to data brokers, serve me malware, bog down my system resources with audio, video, crypto-miners, and other garbage, or a myriad of other undesirable things. Would you consider any of these things to be the website (or the ad network) stealing from me? At what point, if any, does the website's right to extract revenue from me end and my right to privacy/security begin?
I'm also all for eliminating overly complicated typographical conventions from places where they are technologically possible.
Never heard of this repo or library, but in the readme:

"Yet another remote desktop software, written in Rust. Works out of the box, no configuration required. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security"....

Yikes. Please don't believe in every repo face value. Your best bet is to generate your own certs (https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) and sign the dlls yourself.
Honestly if Apple integrated Netflix and all those other services into a unified UI for Apple TV that transparently lets you go between the apps without realizing it (they do own the OS...) it would be exactly what I want to see happen to these streaming services, that or they somehow share their content to the official Apple TV app itself, and let Apple TV query across all those other streaming apps, it would be great. Sometimes I'll look up something with my Apple TV and it will try to have me go to a paid version, for me to realized I watched it on a completely different app, or it shows me the app that only has 1 single season, when I have every season in a different service.

I think there's room for improvement on the smart TV OS' to better integrate these services into one pluggable app.
Well then their pants seem to bunch everything up and thrust it forward.
They are important baby steps towards a more sustainable future. Although it is hard to not let perfect be the enemy of better.
"hacker" = "free information"

??

I've never heard that definition.
Its revisiting the origin of that phrase, which

“On the one hand you have—the point you’re making Woz—is that information sort of wants to be expensive because it is so valuable—the right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information almost wants to be free because the costs of getting it out is getting lower and lower all of the time. So you have these two things fighting against each other.”

I find this to be a much more intelligent formulation of the concept, as it recognizes the reasons and the tension.

We simply can’t get much of the media I like for free (gratis). That being said, it is maddening to have so much great content locked up. It feels insanely inefficient and that we produce far too much content unnecessarily.

There are probably ways to balance this better- separation of content ownership, production, and distribution; more limits on copyright length; mandatory content licensing; simplification of older content license rules…

That doesn’t mean it’s morally wrong to pay for content or put restrictions on distribution, just that optimum probably isn’t where we are.
Right, so its still just about 9 MB:

guile=$(readlink -f $(which guile))
sizes=$({ echo $guile; ldd $guile|grep /|sed 's+^[^/]*\(/[^ ]*\).*+\1+'; }|xargs -n 1 readlink -f|xargs du -ab|cut -f 1)
sumsize=0
for size in $sizes; do
sumsize=$((sumsize+size));
done
echo $sumsize

Gives 9041632 here.

That's a good question. I'd love to see Netflix's stats. Some people really are going to watch the same show over and over again. Like the office.
You're back at the start again though - if I wasn't going to buy it, then the vendor hasn't lost anything if I steal it. All that happens is I gain a free experience I would otherwise not have had.
> Interestingly, development of rockets has only made a bunch of the things you mention cheaper (to the multiple orders of magnitude), not impossible.

With finite time, lifespan and resources, "cheap" is often equivalent to "possible". If you look at the connections between inventions and developments that GP mentioned, it's usually the case that the necessary prerequisites don't involve just knowledge, but something getting cheap enough to be available / worth building.

TCP absolutely does have packets, it's just that by convention userland is supposed to ignore them and proxies are allowed to change the boundaries.

If you control enough of the network and set the right socket options, you can observe them being preserved though! And as a result of this observation, people ignorant of the convention have written programs that most people now consider "buggy".

To get started on the practical while researching the theory: https://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5/

For much more on the beginner stuff, "starting strength" by Mark Rippetoe. The author is, in my opinion, a bit biased towards athletes so he offers a few opinions as facts. But these are harmless early in training.

After you've finished stronglifts 5x5 which will take a few months, buy "5/3/1" by Jim Wendler. IMHO the perfect training program, for a lifetime.

The website t-nation.com has surprisingly high quality considering it exists to sell useless dietary supplements. It's a "tips and tricks" site so you've got to read hundreds of articles before you can tell the wheat from the chaff.

Overall, everything you need to know is on the web. It's just that the signal to noise ratio is so freaking low. Learn to recognize the methods that are for "juicers" - the guys lifting better through chemistry. Stay away from those.

Good luck!

It's called a false equivalence fallacy[1] and more specifically it's called the fallacy of composition[2]. I don't know why I'm taking the time to do this but I'm going to assume you're genuine with wanting to learn so:

Essentially the original argument I made is

1. Stealing (in this context) is depriving someone of their unearned revenue by duplicating or taking their work without their express consent and payment.

2. Stealing is wrong

3. Pirating is stealing

So, 4. Pirating is wrong

You took my comment and attempted to do this:

1. Stealing (in this context) is depriving someone of their unearned revenue by duplicating or taking their work without their express consent and payment.

2. Stealing is wrong

3. Reading my comment for free is stealing

So, 4. Reading my comment for free is wrong

Except step 3 is an invalid assertion since we are on a public forum with accounts created for the express purpose of reading and writing on said public forum for free. Your argument makes the assumption that because an action (using something for free) is wrong in one instance, it must be wrong in all instances.

Not only is it theoretically as bad as it sounds, its as bad as it sounds in reality as well. Most of the top extensions get sold to ad companies and silently start sucking up all of your browsing data to sell on. Some of them start injecting their own adverts and tracker scripts on to pages, some of them are outright stealing your credentials.

And you realistically have no way to sort the good from the bad. Especially when the good silently get sold to the bad and automatically updated.
