> Yea, sure, except what if the one-time configuration was in a Nix file that will continue being exactly as useful for years?

Still useless. Software change, the configs i make today might not make sense or even work in 3-5 years.

Nix and stuff (ansible etc) only make sense if you have to reinstall your systems multiple times in a single week (fine if your hobby is reinstalling linux on your laptop).

But if you do a full reinstall once every five years then it’s largely an exercise in futility.

> The outcome of war is "who gets to impose their will", which is something that can change without any physical change.

That’s not how that works. The nation that gets to impose its will is the one that can put boots on the ground and hold them there. Doesn’t matter if they’re cyborg or robot boots, but they have to physically be there. That’s a lesson as old as history.

I understand what you’re getting at, and maybe someday smaller powers will participate in “simulated warfare” (which means something else) in lieu of total destruction like some hunter-gatherer and monkey tribes do, but it will always be in the physical world and involve death or destruction.

Otherwise, why would anyone go to war even now? If any other mechanism other than physical violence would have worked, we wouldnt go to war.

Why sharing the tech wealth is important
>When I pay my toll on the highway, I expect it to pay for maintaining the road I used, not for unrelated things

This is a great example. You expect to pay for the "maintenance of the road", but what about the ongoing opportunity cost of the road and all the externalities of the road? What about all the roads that do not have tolls on them? The toll road does not exist in a vacuum, and life is not so simple so as to be able to sequester all costs into separate line items.

In fact, one of the main uses for tolls is not for the maintenance of the toll, it is for managing congestion of the road, since the road has a carrying capacity. After a certain number of vehicles, the road becomes less and less useful, so a variable rate toll can ensure a limited number of vehicles operate on the road at peak congestion.

It is simply not feasible to tie revenue to expenses 1 to 1, and specific taxes (like tolls) legislated to do that for government expenses hamstrings leaders because it removes flexibility needed to move resources around (which obviously could be used for bad, but also good, as you demonstrated your business's example).
The site lists all those features but it's not clear what problem it's trying to solve. Only in the FAQ at the end of the page it's said it's a service mesh basically with added bells & whistles, from what I understand.

But I'm still confused:

>Monolithic codebases don't have to result in monolithic services.

Why would I want to replace straighforward function calls with network calls in my monolith?

>By using a centralised control-plane, Differential transparently handles network faults and machine restarts with retries, all without changing your existing programming paradigm. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for any function call that you'd like to make distributed and reliable.

"Centralization" and "reliability" don't sound like words that often come together. What if the control plane goes down? Unless they have a cluster? It's all self-imposed problems anyway: if we don't have network calls in the monolith, we don't have all those problems in the first place (which need to be solved with retries etc.)
I like the idea that someone out there didn't want an ugly helicopter on their yacht, so they got a second yacht just for the helicopter.
It sounds like maybe they intend this to be the bridge to the next thing?

Like this for example:

"developers can use the same STM32Cube tools"

So maybe they are saving STM64 for something that has more breaking changes, requires a different toolset, etc?

Don`t work for kagi, and definitely not implying you are a crook. I believe your use case is not in good faith, and I also believe that you know that, but given your position it should be ok. And that is where we disagree, because I also believe you can do better. We all can. And sometimes that is something that needs to be said. I really wish you the best, and please do not take my words as an insult. It`s just the observation that my perspective grants me.
What OP is doing also happens to look like a disinformation technique.
Well its a mixed 32/64 bit core, and I guess they want to emphasize the backcompat with STM32MP1 more than the 64bitness.

Show HN: ZakuChess, an open source web game built with Django, htmx and Tailwind
A while ago I started this side project to test if I could build a rich User Interface that would have about the same level of responsiveness than a "SPA-like" app, but using only htmx[1]...
I still have plenty of stuff in my roadmap, but today it's in a playable state and I thought it could be interesting to share it - as it may be a nice demonstration of a relatively rich user interface powered by htmx :-)

--> https://zakuchess.com

As for the stack: it's built mostly with Django, htmx and Tailwind CSS. It uses a SQLite database, and is hosted (for free) at Fly.
The characters' graphics come from the open source game Battle For Wesnoth.

I'm afraid my skills in terms of design are rather suboptimal, so the quality of the design is... well, let's just say it's playable ahah

The whole thing is open source: https://github.com/olivierphi/zakuchess#readme
Apart from the source code itself, the repo's README also gives a bit more details about the various packages I used.

Correct me if I am missing something, but it seems like the speculative bit was Milgrom noticing that coincidence in 1983, and now they are trying to explore the consequences of assuming that it's not just a coincidence... hopefully with testable predictions coming out of this ?

That depends where "medium" falls on the temperature scale. If we say that lukewarm is the medial point, then what you wrote makes sense. However, if we say that lukewarm is warmer than whatever the medial point is, then it makes sense to have a lukecold-like antonym.

I never thought about this and this is a delightful thought exercise. Sometimes I use lukewarm to mean medium, usually when describing the weather. Kind of like where it's neither cool nor warm. However, sometimes I use it to describe something that is warmer than the ambient medium point, usually when describing bathwater and tea temperature.

Re: antonyms, I see cold as an antonym of hot. Cool as an antonym of warm. Is lukewarm the midpoint between cool and warm? Sometimes, maybe, but probably it's a bit on the warmer side of neutral.

I’m sure there’s a good reason, but couldn’t they root directly from the scion? Or is there something particular about the sycamore that resists that type of propagation?

My experience with sycamores on the mid atlantic US they are really tough trees. They sprout in a crushed stone parking area near my house, i can dig them up and replant them with high success rate.

> Despite employers’ and tech companies’ protest to the contrary, mental well-being in a workplace is not something that can be solved just with an app.

I agree with this. But as usual I feel like these studies point the blame at the wrong target. Certainly companies that try to sell well-being as a gamified lifestyle brand are cynical, and companies that try to dominate their employees' lives and offer these health perks as token replacements for work-life balance are not excused from exploiting those employees. However, as far as I know, nobody is requiring people to use these apps, or to keep using them if they're causing harm. You mean to tell me people are voluntarily turning to these well-being apps, and it's making them feel worse, and they're still using them? If a behavior isn't helping, stop doing it. I'm not saying its 100% on the users, but as beings with agency involved in a complex situation, I think it's odd to leave their choices out of the explanation entirely.

I did read your whole comment, and I didn't really take it as 'defending Apple', at least not in the sort of blind fanboyism way that implies.

If I understand correctly, you're assuming that the user is in control of both running the curl command, and the host it's pointed at? And thus the behaviour in this case is, you argue, arbitrary because you shouldn't let it get there anyway?

I was just thinking of it as the former, say I want to curl -X POST a comment to secretnews.ycombinator.com (not real, as far as I know!) and verify that someone hasn't MITM'd it so that I accidentally disclose my comment on news.ycombinator.com. I don't control either domain, I'm just running a curl command.

It is hard to think of a case of a public charity that owns a controlling interest in a for-profit subsidiary and that is all they do. The Morman church owns a lot of businesses, but it is still the Morman Church.

Note that in the US, private foundations are not permitted to own a controlling interest in a for-profit company, so the example has to be a public charity. IKEA is controlled by a Dutch nonprofit foundation, but it has no obligation to the public except to give away a small portion of the profits.

I don't think this can escalate more from Russia's side. They already invaded neighbouring countries, and not only are they keeping their war machine running but they are also threatening more countries while shifting their economy to a war economy.

At this point, either Russia voluntarily stops it's invasion and leaves Ukraine or inevitably NATO will have to step in. Whether it's before or after Russia invaded a NATO member is still to be determined.

As Russia is all-in, the only option on the table that prevents NATO from stepping in is to support Ukraine and supply them with the necessary and sufficient equipment to drive out Russia. If there's no political consensus to deliver what's needed, it's only a matter of time before Europe's armies are deployed.

Speaking of.. how is Librem these days as a daily driver? I am genuinely debating trying to make a jump again.
As readyman says, these are two very well expressed, both valid views of how the system operates. There's a system of rules, and there's a power structure. The formal rules operate almost all of the time, and can be an interesting sport to follow. But there's a lot in that "almost". The moment a mob comes through the window with guns, the rules become irrelevant and the power and loyalty structure becomes extremely important.

And even in the everyday there are attempts by all parties to simply end-run round congressional process, at State, presidential, or Supreme Court level.

Re: repeatability, if you presented a bunch of people with bowls of soup and asked them to label them as hot, warm, or lukewarm, you would not get perfect consensus. However, there would be some consensus.

The problem is that the word "warm" can mean a point on a temperature scale as well as a comparable quality. You can use it as a comparative adjective: this soup is warmer than the other soup. You can also use it as a label: this soup is warm. Lukewarm only works as a label and you would not say that the soup is more lukewarm than the other.

"Hot" is similar to "warm" in that regard, as it can be used to compare and to label.

There are other temperature-related words which are like lukewarm, and can be used to label but not to compare. Scalding is one that comes to mind, and it has antonyms such as frigid.
I think you're missing the point: you can say this about any theory. At least ones that attempt to deal with something significant and difficult.

It's therefore not a very perceptive critique to make to say the problem with this specific theory is that it is one of many possible ones. It's more meaningful to compare such wide-aperture theories like this to their actual alternatives, rather than distrust them on principle because the space of potential hypotheses in which they carve out a specific model is so large.

Funnily, your observation could be said to be an instance of itself: in that it is an overly general appraisal unrooted in pertinent specifics, therefore mostly divorced from explanatory power - akin to what you're misjudging this theory to be.

I don't know if this theory will pan out, but it seems more interesting than you say. While different to the paper, I have the following related thoughts to offer: I've often thought gravity makes sense, not as a fundamental force, but as an emergent metric, rooted in randomness (perhaps the informational content of matter, for which mass is, normally but not always, useful proxy?), similar to how temperature is merely an emergent property that we can measure that arises from (and reflects) the microstates/ensembles of gigantic numbers of particle interactions, owing to their energy content.

I wonder if a "time" or "age" factor could be needed in revised calculations of gravity to account for the plausible way in which information increases over time (if we assume, without trying to understand, that the history is recorded somewhere, somehow), and if that's why these very old and very distant galaxies bork our normal (non dark matter fudged) calculations of gravity, because they are so old that the time accrual of information is an effect which begins to come into play.

No, but for $1000 even an asshole will act empathetic. I mean, go to a high end hotel or restaurant. You genuinely think that all those emphatically polite and helpful wait staff are doing it because they're nice people? No, they're doing it because (1) good service is required by their job and (2) their job pays better than similar jobs at proletarian places. So they do it. Same principle here.

> Silly me for taking Elon at his word

I really don't mean to dog pile, but this seems wrong in two ways. First he never said Grok would be right-wing. In fact he promised neutrality, so I don't think you were "taking Elon at his word" I think you were taking somebody else at their word about Elon's word. If Elon did say Grok would be right-wing, I would very much like to know so if you know of a source, please share.

Second, it really is unwise at best to "take Elon at his word". For example, Elon has been saying Tesla would have full self driving for years. He tends to make very grand aspiration promises/declarations that aren't super grounded in reality. So yeah, if Elon says "Grok will be perfectly neutral/centrist" or even "Grok will be right wing" if you care at all about being accurate then you really need to check before assuming it's true. "Trust but verify" would be the minimum I would give to Elon.
