I had considered that too, but what I had also considered, and that I think is better, is a different single syscall, which is more like a actor model or like a capability-based system. (One problem with the "everything is a file" like Plan9 is that then the operating system has to parse the file paths every time you want to do any I/O; what I describe below ignores that problem since you can link directly to objects instead.)

A process has access to a set of capabilities (if it does not have any capabilities, then it is automatically terminated (unless a debugger is attached), since there is nothing for the program to do).

A "message" consists of a sequence of bytes and/or capabilities. (The message format will be system-independent (e.g. the endianness is always the same) so that it works with emulation and network transparency, described below.)

A process can send messages to capabilities it has access to, receive messages from capabilities it has access to, create new capabilities (called "proxy capabilities"), discard capabilities, and wait for capabilities.

Terminating the process is equivalent to a mandatory blocking wait for an empty set of capabilities; discarding all capabilities also terminates the process. A non-blocking wait for an empty set of capabilities means that you wish to yield, so that other processes get a chance to run, before this process continues.

Some further options may be needed to handle multiple locking and transactions, and to avoid some kinds of race conditions, but mostly that is just it.

This is useful for many things, including sandboxing, emulation, network transparency (this can be done by one program keeping track of which capabilities need to be sent across the network link and assign an index number to each one, and then the other end will create a proxy capability for each index number and use that number when it wants to send back), security with user accouts, etc; the kernel does not need to know about all of these things since they can be implemented in user code.

Other things (outside of the kernel) can also be implemented in terms of proxy capabilities, and I had ideas about those other parts of the operating system too, for example it has a hypertext file system (with no file names, but files can contain multiple numbered streams, which can include both bytes and links to other files (which can be either to the current version or to a fixed version; if to a fixed version then copy-on-write will be used if the file is modified)), and the "foreign links table", and a common (binar) data format, and a command shell with some similarities than Nushell (but also many differences), and the system uses the "Extended TRON Code" character set, and details about the working of the package manager and IME and window manager, etc.
I feel the second biggest innovation of Wikipedia, after the wiki format itself, is establishing the proper tooling, policies, and incentives to allow a stable hierarchy of editors and maintainers to develop. This is the aspect that gives Wikipedia its longevity.

This is interesting. What about the Texas law makes it impossible for PH to comply if they were to otherwise decide that that they wanted to (which of course isn't likely)?
> store billions of databases

This is sort of true and sort of false. When you think of a "database", if you're thinking of a Postgres database, you're way off the reality of what "database" means here.

FoundationDB has a concept called "layers", and essentially they have created a layer that looks like a separate database on top of a layer that is separately encrypted groups of keys. They don't have billions of FoundationDB clusters or machines, and at the infra level, i.e. the instances of the FoundationDB server software, it's unaware of individual "databases".

A closer analogy would be like having billions of tables, but even that isn't accurate because in relational databases a table is usually a notably more static concept than data in a table. The closest analogy would be that each of the billions of users has a bunch of rows with a user-id field on them, and there's a proxy that filters everything such that you can view the table as if it only had one user's data in it.

To be clear, FoundationDB is awesome and Apple have done some really cool stuff with it, but it's less crazy/impressive than it sounds.
Depends on what lunar lander hardware is being used. If we were using Apollo hardware:

Apollo LM: 16 metric tons (landing about 5 tons on the moon)

Apollo CSM: 29 metric tons

The third stage of the Saturn V, called the S-IVB, (which was used for the trans-lunar injection burn) weighed 123 tons - however this was also used to get into the initial orbit.

Starship can launch 150 tons to LEO in reusable mode or ~200 mt when expended. The Saturn V was able to launch 141 tons to LEO. So it should theoretically be possible for Starship to launch an LM+CSM stack with an S-IVB with enough fuel for a trans-lunar injection burn. Then fly the rest of the mission as in Apollo.

Or we can refuel the Starship a few times in LEO using a bunch of re-usable flights and land 100 tons of payload on the lunar surface. The latter is probably cheaper and simpler at this point.
Being able to produce a credit card number and transaction has nothing to do with a user's age or the stated goal of the law, protecting minors.
> There is no single continuous function that can do this

Nitpick: that should be "no single continuous deterministic function"; it's (relatively) very easy to sample uniformly randomly from the unit circle orthogonal to a given non-zero vector, but that won't give, for example, approximately the same result on two consecutive video frames, such that you could usefully orient the camera with that direction "up".
The "personal liberty" is a rhetorical shield for protecting a certain kind of person and the things that person wants to do. If you don't fit that mold, your personal liberty is of little importance to the state of Texas.

I made a Wordle-inspired daily word search puzzle game
During certain holidays, I'll sometimes print out word searches for me and my gf to do. (She's way better at them than I am.)

Anyway, a day or two after doing some Valentine's day themed ones, I thought of an idea for a Wordle-style word search. One that you could do every day.

I figured it would be fun for her, so I built it! And it's finally (mostly) done.

I'm still new to JS and it's my first web-based game, but I wanted to share it here to get some feedback from others.

If you want to play, check it out here:

Again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It's still new so there could still be bugs.
>Large percentage of people identifying as Christian.

This is likely a large driving factor of this ban. Despite the mantra of "separation of church and state", US as a whole has so much religion built into government and its people (our pledge has the line "one nation, under God". Our currency has "in God we trust) that it very much influences policy.

>if anti-porn is driven by social conservative values, how does that override personal liberty values

If we wanna be frank: sexism. If the adult industry were mostly male escorts and the abortion laws involved vasectomies, these laws would never even be put to the floor.

Women in US congress are at an all time high, but is still only 28%. So issues involving women's right still don't have representation proportional to its population. Doublethink isnt the biggest issue here, sadly.

We DEFINITELY will. I think we're planning on pushing that next week -- we've been super excited about it

Just created this: https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/issues/72
Originally, it was plain old-fashioned colonialism, having to pay tribute to an overseas king that wasn't doing anything for you to fund wars between France and England that didn't involve you.

But that was a long time ago. Uncharitably, US southern states got up in arms (quite literally) about the federal government forcing them to end slavery and then later forcing them to integrate schools and serve blacks and whites at the same businesses. Charitably, there is a fair amount of legitimately bad stuff the federal government has done, i.e. Ruby Ridge, Waco, assassinating Fred Hampton, the red scare, interning of the Japanese, everything that was ever done to natives, trampling all over Hawaii.

I don't think you can just say universally one way or the other works better. The US system is designed for it to be damn near impossible to ever have true tyranny, at the cost of an ineffective government. European governments tend to take the opposite approach. Right now, that is arguably working largely in Europe's favor. In the past, well, Europe had fascism and started multiple world wars and colonized over half the world. The US has certainly done some bad stuff, but not really anything quite like that, so the "avoid descent into outright autocracy" has largely worked out so far.

There is, of course, no guarantee this will continue to work out in the future, either. Up until now, the basic idea has been the only organizations out there with the power to do things like fascism and world wars are states. As multinational private corporations become increasingly large and powerful, that may not remain the case, and the US does very little to tame them compared to what it does to tame the government.
Yes, landing on the Moon without an atmosphere is vastly different from orbital flight on earth and has an entirely different risk profile.

Theoretically they could sure, it would just be expensive, labor-intensive and put them at risk of criminal penalties if their process failed or broke down. Also the number of people willing to send their ID to a porn site is very small so whether they complied or not, they will not be getting much traffic from Texas. Its "impossible" from a common business sense perspective, not a theoretical perspective.

Being a doctor has grueling training, but I think it's a very different skillset from a senior engineer at FAANG. The type of problem solving that is required for the latter is not really comparable. Remember, there's not even a cartel to keep comp artificially high. It's just that expensive if a senior (or higher) engineer fucks up at FAANG that spending an extra 100k to get the top 2% of talent vs the top 5% of talent is worth it to them.

Lol, gotta love the moral panic on literally the oldest profession.

Tiktok isn't degeneracy, it's exactly what you expect to come out of a capitalism infused ad-based economy. It's a hostile market for your attention, what did you expect? Things that are entirely fueled by economic incentives and interests are not moral decay. The US has been like this since the very beginning. We literally promised the south not to ban slavery for a long time because otherwise they would not have voted to join the Union because it would hurt their economy to not own black human beings
I think you are fundamentally wrong. The world is getting better all of the time. Look at life 10 years ago, 30 years ago, 100 years ago, 200, years ago, etc.

Life expectancy is up, people are richer, people are healthier, we have an amazing number of choices, we have amazing devices, etc.

I think your view is very distorted and you really should check your facts. Here are some questions you should ask yourself:

1) What do you mean when you say “enshitification”? How is the world getting worse? By what measure?

2) Are there any counter examples which could disprove your thesis?

3) How does the world today compare to the world at other times? Why is the world better today? What was better before?

Finally, you should consider individual things instead of the world. For example, you can look at your town, housing, food, culture, etc. Try going beyond good and bad and look at the benefits and drawbacks of various things. Consider whether you need a more nuanced view of the world.
A much better way of phrasing my comment, thank you.

It's perfectly valid for PH to say "we don't believe the requirements of the law are reasonable so we're choosing to not do business in Texas rather than comply" - but that's a very different conversation than "the requirements the law imposes on us/other adult websites are impossible to satisfy from a technical perspective".
I think you mean $4500/yr, or $375/month. Pre-tax.
I think most engineers from back then would be astounded with the engineering of today, not underwhelmed.
I'm guessing that (just like actually happened when I was their age) one kid will figure it out (or read about it, or have an enabling parent tell them how to do it under the presumption of good reasons) and then tell all their friends how to do it.
As I said, they could but they don't want to. You said there is no way for PH to verify ages the way the legislation demands, but that plainly isn't true.
Because that is their stated design goal for Starship.

2. undermine, overturn or replace the UK's system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights; or

It's not always about sunk costs. The offices where I work right now were built just a few years ago, and everything is wired.

In this case, it's because we deal with large amounts of data and WiFi would be too slow, not to mention that WiFi brings additional security issues that wired doesn't.

But everywhere I worked, people have always preferred using wired connections over WiFi, because the performance is better and it's much more reliable.

Regardless of the reason, I just marveled because I have never been exposed to a Wifi-only work network and it didn't occur to me that anyone would do that.
“Separation of church and state” appears nowhere in the Constitution. The First Amendment says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”

An “establishment of religion” refers to established churches, of which there were several in existence when the first amendment was ratified: https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/established-churches.... What it’s saying is that Congress cannot establish a national church, or regulate the state established churches. The Constitution clearly doesn’t prohibit even state official churches. Massachusetts—one of the most important states at the time of the founding—had an established church until the 1820s!

What isn’t in the Constitution is French-style “separation of church and state,” where religion cannot be a motivation for laws Congress is otherwise entitled to pass. Congressmen/women can vote for laws based on Christian beliefs just as they could vote for laws based on neoliberal or socialist beliefs.

Which then can do without a relight.

> and they can't reliably get into orbit until they demonstrate at least one re-light

And part of testing deorbit/landing capability includes testing that they can relight the engine.

So they could launch the next one with Starlinks (possibly test articles of those as well since no full-size V2 satellites have been laucnhed yet). Get it into orbit and include a deorbit burn/re-entry as part of the flight plan. If the latter part somehow still does not work out ... they still got Starlinks into orbit. And they now have more data to fix it on the next flight. They already have several vehicles lined up for static fires and flight tests.

It has nothing to do with the US or Texas. Just human nature. People express conflicting thoughts, ideas, or actions because it benefits them.

RNA is an obvious example. The examples and benchmarks they give in the paper are not the straw men the DNA LLMs are beating the stuffing out.

Also CRE activity is highly cell type specific. This article is a pretty awesome demonstration of model guided design of cell type specific cis regulatory elements.

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.08.552077v1

An LLM would not be able to do this because DNA itself contains no contextual information about cell type - every cell has a copy of the full genome. Epigenetic tracks however contain a lot of information germane to the cellular context - ex which parts of the genome are being transcribed.
