>My point was just that proponents of so-called "intelligent design" sometimes try to create the impression that it is not itself a form of creationism, but it very much is. Not exactly the same as young earth creationism or any of the old earth variants, but still very much creationism nonetheless.

Ah, I see, yes, it does seem to me that most if not all intelligent design proponents are creationists (usually I see creationism being used to refer to young earth creationism). I don't know of intelligent design proponents who deny creationism, that's interesting.

>The basic idea as I understand it is that life exhibits "irreducible complexity" that could not have evolved naturally, and therefore must have been created by some "designer." It is the "must have been created" part that makes is fundamentally creationist.

Well, to be sure, while intelligent design theory is a theory meant to compete with evolutionary theory (what you've just outlined), what the original poster has said isn't necessarily intelligent design theory. They seem to have in mind the fine-tuning argument, roughly speaking that the order/structure of the universe suggests that the universe was designed to be that way. This argument doesn't compete with any scientific theories (except perhaps the multiverse theory, though my sense is that this is a contentious theory among scientists and atheist philosophers alike). But yes, this argument too suggests creationism.

Creationism is part and parcel of theism, though---your original comment seemed to imply that creationism is something obviously silly (as in, silly in a way in which theism is not)? Or am I just not reading you right?

Perhaps one of my most favorite quotes I've read on hackernews:

"This was one of those big eye opening moments for me. Consultants are hired mercenaries in coporate warfare, they don't care about you, they don't care about your company or the rivalries or the squabbaling. You pay them a bunch of money to come run roughshod over your enemies by producing reams of analysis and Powerpoints, to fling the arrows of jargon, and lay siege to your enemies employees by endlessly trapping them in meetings and then they depart.
Consultants are brought in to secure your flank, to provide air cover and to act as disposable pawns in interoffice combat.

They are not brought in to solve problems, to find solutions, or because of their incredibly acumen. It's because they have no loyalty or love but money."

That's exactly what they do - they explicitly call out this format as replacement to tar and zip at least:

> Most popular solutions like Zip, gzip, tar, RAR, or 7-Zip are near or more than three decades old. While holding value for such a long time (in the computer world) is testimony to their greatness, the work is far from done.

> Pack tries to continue this path as the next step and proposes the next universal choice in the field.
This argument goes back to Keynes IIRC: inflation was good to keep wages reduced.

It's hard to imagine a deflationary world where bosses had to negotiate with workers to reduce their salary annually, which kind of shows how powerful this idea is...
This is very interesting. Is it difficult and/or expensive to file FOIA? I have never done it but I am aware of a few academic friends who have used it for their research work. However, I believe their universities handled the paperwork and expenses.
People confuse coercion with voluntary statements. The reason liberal democracies pay lip service to this insane notion that 20 million people must live under an autocracy is because we are fucking scared of WW3. That's it. We do not believe in this disgusting nationalist project that desires to subjugate the will of millions of people in the name of restoring the homeland or some other sociopathic blood and soil fantasy.
They can manoeuvre uneven terrain in areas where UAVs and wheeled UGVs are unsuitable though. Combined with UAV capabilities, it could be a very capable mapping or ISR tool in places like caves, or following earthquakes.

That isn't what an ordered ring is. Your property of a < b → a² < b² doesn't even hold true in the integers. For instance, let a = -2 and b = -1.

The correct property is that if a ≤ b, a + c ≤ b + c, and if a ≥ 0 and b ≥ 0, then ab ≥ 0. It is fairly easy to see that these properties hold for dual numbers.
Except they don't have standing armies ready to resist a US takeover where the US is a totalitarian dystopian nightmare state.

Not really. There's a fairly small and stable number of companies that actually collect and resell information about you. There is also about a zillion ephemeral web front ends that republish this data, however. I suspect this is done for a reason, but a bit of sleuthing quickly reveals who the big players are.

These "data removal" services spend a lot of effort going after the frontends, which is pretty self-serving: they can show the customer that there's something new to remove every single month or quarter, so you have to keep paying forever.

https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

Annual wages are about 15% higher today compared to 1971 in real terms. Real terms is a bit suspect in this case as wage earners are more likely to pay nominal rent then owner equivalent rent. It may well be accurate that the average wage earner is worse off today then they were in 1971.

I'd venture a speculation that this is reflected in media, sitcoms of the 70s rarely had roommates - and the 80s/90s poked fun of those who lived in their parents basements. Roommates are relatively common in shows today.

My intuition for this is to view the economy as a large number of interconnected gears driven by an input shaft. When the input is neutral (no inflation), the gears are slack and kind of spin back and forth with occasional whiplash. But with some token input spin (small inflation), the slack vanishes and all gears spin smoothly.

I wouldn't call it a scam, I think it's like alot of start ups. It looks good, has lots of cool marketing, and "in theory" could work. But after a few years of missing deadlines and goals (because they were unrealistic) and eating up money, the "in theory" could work turns into "in practice" did not.

If by "innovation in this space" you mean supersonic commercial air travel, then not really. I could see someone making a couple planes that get bought by the saudi's and a few billionares but if you are talking in terms of eventually reaching all commercial air travel... that's a long way off if ever. Going faster takes you in the wrong direction in terms of efficiency (and thus cost and environmental impact), sound, manufacturability (and thus cost), maintenance (and thus cost), you get the picture.

Those don't meet the short-runway requirement mentioned in the article. In fact there's very few airports that can handle an A380.

Considering they mention packed-dirt short runways it sounds like the plan is to create a temporary runway directly at the wind farm site, eliminating even the road transport from the airport to the construction site. That's a pretty smart idea if they can make it work. An A380 definitely won't do that job.

I seem to also remember that the A380 needs additional strengthening to be used for freight, there was some talk of developing a freight version but it was never done. For this particular cargo perhaps it isn't needed though as I assume those blades aren't super heavy.

Vacant doesn't mean available. Apartments that are being shown to renters are vacant. Houses for sale are vacant. Houses that have sold or rented but haven't been moved into are not available.

It would be impossible to house homeless in vacant houses. Sellers and landlords would never accept it because would make it hard to find people. The short-term rentals would be hard to mange, not good for the homeless to always be moving, and easily go wrong. Is the government going to compensate for damages? For delayed moving into new house? It is almost certainly cheaper to build the homeless housing.

That’s not at all what they said.

And the history of aerospace is littered with companies that made lofty claims, raised a bunch of money, and eventually went under. When Boom launched eight years ago, they were telling investors they were going to have a prototype flying in two years. For anyone who has any experience in aerospace, this is unrealistic to the point of being fraudulent. People said as much back then [1]. And sure enough, it took eight years, not two. And the actual hard parts are still ahead of them!

99% chance the full-size supersonic aircraft never flies, and 100% chance it won’t be before 2035.

Yes, I have a bunch of zips I cannot modify. If I could uncompress them all, and zip them into one big archive, then it would be much smaller than if I put all the compressed zips into one big archive. This is because there's a lot more shared strings between uncompressed files across different zips, than there are shared strings between the compressed zips.

(At least... this is my assumption based on how I understand the formats to work. I do need to measure and verify this.)

So basically I'm wondering if there is some way to tell the "outer" zip to reuse the encoding dictionaries of each smaller zip, or to somehow intelligently merge their encoding dictionaries rather than treating each inner zip like an opaque blob.

> Boom promises... ultra-wealthy people a few hours shorter flights?

The question I was replying to is not whether they can build a profitable business, but whether they can build their own engine within 5 years.

There's a greater than zero percent chance they can do this if they put in the focus and the effort.

There's also a greater than zero percent chance that they can build a successful engine and then still go bankrupt.

Early SpaceX had funding issues and likely would've gone bankrupt if the 4th launch of the Falcon 1 didn't succeed (the first 3 all failed).

So good luck to Boom. Even if they don't succeed, I'm glad they are going to try.
But this can be unambiguously defined! Externally observable effects can have specific meanings.
5 columns of chips on each side indicates an extra 8 bits for each 32-bit subchannel, which is pretty common for DDR5 RDIMMs. But the article mentions a 72-bit interface (the standard for DDR5 ECC UDIMMs and earlier ECC DIMM standards) rather than an 80-bit interface, so there's at least some cause for doubt about which level of ECC these modules provide.

Redict has already reached its peak; it does not need any more serious software development to occur. It does not need to pivot to AI. It can be maintained for decades to come with minimal effort. It can continue to provide a high amount of value for a low amount of labor. That's the entire point of software!

I hope that sufficient momentum/support can gather around Redict in order to maintain it for its existing users who aren't looking for a vector database, search database, generative AI widget, all in the one piece of software.

The logical positivists (and analytic philosophers in general) were very concerned about this.

The original ones like Carnap thought it was a problem because of fascists, who are, you know, pathological liars. So the problem wasn't ambiguity, moreso that they were propagandizing and he hoped to defeat this by showing that it wasn't true. As it turns out, this didn't work, so they had to give up on it.

Analytic philosophers do it because they're mad at obscurantist French people like Derrida. Which is also a noble goal if a smaller problem.
