I think hydrogen can be simply found in space, along the way. Not sure about the concentration of deuterium and tritium. I suspect once you get to 1% of c, you can find enough.

If you need to lift all the fuel from Earth, sure, antimatter all the way. Although, they already suggest making it in space for some reasons.
I'm on a phone, apology for lack of citation. I ran across an article that found it was mostly memers bidding the price up against each other. The short squeeze aspect did come un, but not as often and not to the extent that is commonly claimed.
That makes sense, thanks.

IIRC The Alcubierre drive would require a significant fraction of the mass-energy of the entire universe to work.

Reminds me of the old phrase, "luck is when preparation meets opportunity". The strategies discussed in this article seem to maximize the "opportunity" side of that equation.
Pretty sure their security concerns aren't nebulous. They only lost 27 million people. Not a big deal to you, maybe. But they will never forget and allow that to happen again. So yes, they are entitled to protecting themselves from that happening again.

If you want to pretend this is solely about abusing Ukrainian sovereignty then that's fine. The west was happy to abuse Ukrainian sovereignty in 2014 when their intelligence agencies helped overthrow their democratically elected government. So really your logic is just a ruse. The facts speak for themselves.
Is that O(n), O(1), or something else?

And is any n the total amount of information stored, distance from now, distance from start, or something else?
Hmm, let me try to defend TypeScript, then. I think it’s a terrific language, and more importantly manages to salvage JavaScript into a very decent language.

Coming from a mostly C/C++ background, I had been very skeptical of “gradually typed” languages like Dart (and now Python), but I’ve come around to the view that for many purposes it’s better than a completely statically typed compiled language.

You don’t need to compile TS at all, just bundle it, which is lightning fast in current tools, so it feels almost as nimble as pure JS. But you have almost-instant type checking in tooltips and code completions, and you can run a full project check whenever you want (that’s slow, but still way faster than compiling Rust).

The type system isn’t perfect but it’s incredibly expressive. Almost anything you could imagine doing in straightforward JS can be typed (admittedly sometimes with a lot of effort and head-scratching) and once typed it’s generally easy to use with confidence that most runtime errors will be avoided.

The fact that JS and TS are separate languages is a bonus -- it keeps TS honest, and the competition between JS engines means runtime performance is great. If you were designing TS from scratch, I think you’d be tempted to add some kind of runtime type reification, but TS is better off without that. Completely erasing types means compilation will always be fast, and in my experience RTTI causes more architectural problems than it solves.
If I'm not mistaken, the question here is whether they will be using episodic or semantic memory in the recall of the periodic table. Meaning - can they recall learned facts as well as lived experiences? Will they linearly remember the moments of learning about each element? What is the granularity of their recall?

That's a good point. I've definitely had that alarm experience before, but not in the context of dreams within dreams.

I think the idea of each inner dream happening faster than the outer one is probably just an Inception thing.

Fast dreams might not need to be an "instant" false memory. It seams possible that a dream could actually happen much, much faster than your "normal" sense of time, it's entirely synthetic so there is no sensory bottleneck. But it would take more energy to experience it this way.

I'm basing this theory off of the time I had several long, detailed dreams in the 9 minutes between pressing snooze and the second alarm. I woke up bewildered and worn out, as though I had been up all day. Worst "snooze" ever.
eGPU? Why cart around the chips when you aren’t using them?

I wonder if it would make sense for general-use-class GPU to be bundled into displays so the t-bolt cable is just handling driver API instead of video stream.

Depending on your tolerance for bodges, if you get a dock which supports DisplayLink technology (The Dell D6000s does for example), and then install the DisplayLink manager, you can drive 3 external monitors from your Apple M-series laptop.

It's a bodge though, because it creates the extra monitors as 'virtual' monitors, screen records them, and sends the data to the dock. It doesn't play back DRM-protected video for instance. But if you don't need that, it works very well indeed!
O wow. I was not aware of the NASA plugin. I wanted to build a simple dashboard on a separate screen for a while (I run X-plane with a cheap projector which is good enough for the scenery but not for the 6 pack). Each time I explored this I end up with what seems to be windows-only solutions.

The NASA plugin supports a Mac version and it exposes a bidirectional interface to X-plane served up through UDP.... then they provide sample clients.

This worked out of the box, on the Mac I did have to run X-plane in Rosetta2 but I was able to wire this up in a Python web server (native) so now I can display flight data real time in a web browser, nice.

Thanks for getting me on track and good job on the autopilot, will check that out later.
Ask HN: How common is developer burnout? Have you ever been burnt out?
When I graduated from college I found a job working for a Fortune 500 where I completed a pretty complex project. I was there for two years and it felt like a stressful meat grinder. The experience was so bad that I quickly pivoted to a less stressful role, and have been there for quite some time now.

This has got me wondering: how stressful do people find the software industry at large? There seems to be a big draw for young developers to try to go FAANG, but honestly, these companies just sound like another high-performance meat grinder. You get paid a lot but are constantly under scrutiny. And smaller companies are all going pseudo-agile to try to squeeze every last ounce from their developers.

This makes me wonder if finding a low-key, sane culture is the key to sustainability in the industry, and avoiding burn out.

Places that treat development like a cost center are more likely to have a hiring pipeline that values a certification. It's like you're pre-vetted in the lowest effort way, and that fits into how they operate.
>I guess they legally need consent for that, and tying a feature improvement to data collection is still totally allowed somehow.

As egregious as this is, it still doesn't strike me as nakedly insulting as Google's refusal to let you turn on the (entirely passive!) GPS receiver on your phone without uploading your precise location to their servers, for similar data collection purposes.

I'd love to see this sort of thing be made illegal, but the only regulatory domain with an Overton window even close to that is the EU, and it's such a minefield of potential gray areas that I doubt it would get off the ground even there.
While I certainly agree, I've found that this is often an indication of too-complex an architecture, and a fundamental re-think being necessary. I've had projects that depend on [fp-ts], which end up incredibly generic-heavy, but still make it entirely through a typecheck(not build- typescript's just worse at that than other tools like esbuild) in seconds-at-worse.

Obviously depends on your organization/project/application, but I do like these things as complexity-smells.

A is a terminal plug. The switch from A to C you swap cables. They sell micro and mini cables with C terminals. A few devices come with A terminals hard wired still, occasional mice and keyboard. But most high end devices don’t have hard wired cables, they come with complementary cables you can easily swap out. I swapped to usb-c everywhere a few years ago without swapping my devices - just cables - and use zero adapters. I still have a few just in case but it’s increasingly unnecessary to listen to Nirvana while plugging my devices in.
Consider the latest 9.1 Ghz push to extremes of CPUs. Consider that there are many stages with up to 30 gates in a sequence that have to be traversed between clock cycles. If you were to eliminate the long lines, and cut down the number of gates to 10... you could possibly go 20 Ghz, while saving power.

A grid of LUTs, 4 bits in, 4 bits out, clocked in 2 phases, could potentially give you Petaflops of performance with the same transistor count. Your entire program would execute in parallel.

Winning would have looked like sending the invaders back to Russia. There was a chance for that early on if Biden had been a bit less dithering about arming them. Now it's trickier as the Russians are kind of dug in.

Russia has more people but the collective west backing Ukraine have more money and tech.

I'm not sure how it plays out. The Russians probably have the upper hand at the moment as the Ukrainians are running out of ammo due to the speaker and Trump supporters blocking aid.

Ukraine may make things expensive enough for Russia that they choose to back off. Attacking their oil refineries is going quite well at the moment.

Yeah, but what if we didn't do that? I.e. when we are reading from memory, we treat it as part of the tokenized input stream, and whatever we are writing to memory is just the transformed output of the state machine.

This way, the contents of the memory wouldn't be state at all; they would just be, as it were, the scratchpad where sentences in the language accepted by the state machine, or output by the state machine, are found.

That's what regular expressions do for us: they are a compact way of specifying a language. Just a few characters--which is to say, just a few states--can specify a language which contains arbitrarily long strings.

But--even though the input and output streams can be very large, they no longer part of the state, and thus do not contribute to the exponential blowup of states.
The Wren language[0] uses semicolons as its size metric:

Wren is small. The VM implementation is under 4,000 semicolons. You can skim the whole thing in an afternoon. It’s small, but not dense. It is readable and lovingly-commented.

That just developers being lazy! As a user, I want my computer and my software to manage all state for me. This means remembering all data I entered (so I can continue work from where I left off), all files I saved (so I can search for them easily), all actions I've taken (so I can undo them), all sites I browsed (so I can find them again), all info I uploaded (so I can check which website knows what about me), etc.
Wow, strange, I suffered from similar symptoms years ago, and still remains of it at times and only found out about this term last week. (After years of searching in the void).

I wish I could find people working on topics similar to this (there are other forms of distortion and facial processing areas that can be altered by brain conditions).
Which way does this go, "ah, you didn't run enough to get strong knees", or "ah, you ran too much and damaged your knees"?
From what I understand, if they are asked about let's say April 17th 2009 they linearly scan through all the April 17ths. So there is a filtering step that ignores all other 364 days. But they also don't start from their earliest memories so how does that filtering work?
People are saying that pump and dump schemes are unethical even if they're not always illegal. I would assert that investing for short-term gain is always unethical and the only way the stock market really benefits retail investors is when people invest and hold for long-term gains.
I have disk encryption on a remote server on cheap low-asssurance hosting, and I do it so I don't have to worry about what happens when the disks are recycled. If I could (easily) automate entering the key on boot, I would (but I'm running FreeBSD, so Linux solutions don't help). But I don't need to reboot often and the hardware is fairly reliable, so eh.

This is for my personal hosting which if someone wants to take over, I guess I'd be more curious than upset.
There are polls for that, e.g. https://www.voanews.com/a/new-poll-reveals-how-ukrainians-fe...

> “Although there is some evidence of fatigue, Ukrainians overall remain committed to winning the war,” Ray said. Continued approval of the army and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, she added, are key to victory.

> Ukrainians are deeply confident in their military, with approval ratings at a record high of 95%, according to Gallup. Support for Zelenskyy has faltered slightly but is still overwhelmingly strong at 81%.

...

> Just look at the blooming garden that is liberated Iraq.

That's a weird example. Why not look at the nearby Baltics or Poland instead, who similarly to Ukraine, has chosen West as opposed to Russia.
First, I didn't use the word lazy.

Second, of course there are exceptions (e.g., disabilities). That said, we have to wonder if the push to make obesity a disease is to legitimize the market, and a massive market - no pun intended - is is. Big Pharma loves big markets.

Finally,

True Story 1: Approx 5 yrs ago I met a friend and her colleague for dinner. They do med / pharma research. The friend was working on something diabetes related. I asked, "Why isn't the treatment to change their diet and lifestyle?" The direct answer was, "They don't do it. It's not going to happen."

True Story 2: My parents are on meds that are only necessary because they don't want to change their diet and lifestyle. I have friends with parents on meds for the same reasons.

I don't know why. I don't know how. I'm not being a critic. But at this point people are people and 9 out of 10 times it's pills over diet or lifestyle change. I wish I could say otherwise.

Humor aside, you'll find most Jeopardy contestants actually know the majority of the answers to any given question on Jeopardy (single and double), and the determining factors are more about buzzer technique, ability to perform on-stage, and shrewd wagering on daily doubles.

AAAH DIFFERENT OPINIONS I AM LITERALLY SHAKING RN
USB-C is slowly taking over the peripheral world. My mouse has it, my keyboard has it, my webcam has it, my external SSD has it. Literally the only USB-A devices I still have are 5-10 years old and barely get used - such as thumb drives.

Even dirt-cheap Chinese knockoffs have USB-C these days. It has gotten to the point that not having USB-C is a red flag for peripheral manufacturers: it's a very minor engineering change and a single-digit cent price increase, so if a device claims to be cutting-edge and it has micro-USB something has gone wrong.

So yeah, my setup currently involves a USB-A hub and several A-C cables. It would be nice if I could just get a proper USB-C hub, but those sadly don't really exist.

It sort of makes seems reasonable in some vague and non-scientific sense that we’d be optimized for walking across slightly rough terrain (with logs, little streams, and rocks to amble across), rather than perfectly flat roads.

Dirt paths look nicer than sidewalks anyway, so I guess we’re just going to have to tear up the streets and stroads all together, rather than trying to staple on walkability!
> allowed different parts of the API to be independent and composable while still ensuring that result types align

I found that states are not really required to know anything about internals of the executed code. All that a policy needs to know if the next state is an error or not, that's all.

I might have simplified the problem too much for my library to be useful in real life applications, but I still hold hope that a

stateFn func(context.Context) stateFn

is expressive enough for implementing the whole functionality.

If I may make another suggestion, I found that for more complicated flows, it is useful to be able to build a graph. I have made a rough approximation of a toold for my project based on parsing the go sources and inferring a state diagram from it. You can check it here: https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/ssm/tree/master/item/cmd (Apologies for the lack of documentation, my work is much more recent than yours :D)

Outside money flows into the market, this allows it to be positive sum.

For the DnD analogy, it is as if you had a cleric.

Eg: IPO sells at $2, next seller buys at $4, next at $6, etc. Everyond makes money in that scenario. Eventually there can be losses, do all the losses counter balance these profits? No, because on net everything went up. If there were always trades that had losses to balance the gains, only then it would be zero sum.

What's more, people convert types of holdings all the time, and it is the big players that move things. When a mutual fund allocates 1% more to stocks, or 1% less and putd that to bonds, those are very big net new or net negative money flows. So, it's not just paychecks being added in, there are lots of sources of dynamism to make the stock market system anything but closed. There is net new money flowing into it all the time.

Web apps or Mobile apps for solopreneur?
My life circumstances have changed and I have 2 years to establish a lucrative remote solopreneur side gig. Assume that the technical proficiency/learning curve is the same, all things being equal, would you bet on web apps (like a SaaS), mobile apps, or something else entirely? I know it won’t be easy no matter what I pick. I also know that it would be better to pick the idea first and then the technology, but having to study one or the other, which one is more likely to serve me well. My naive understanding is that web apps can make more money but they are harder to monetize. Mobile apps can make some money more easily as they are part of a marketplace, but it’s hard to make 150k a year from them. What would you recommend me?

I think where their attention is and therefore what gets encoded is similar to the rest of us. In one instance they were unable to recall what the interviewers were wearing after spending two hours with them. They remember their experiences visually, essentially. So if information was not actually recorded, it can't be searched for.

On a different note, I'm curious how long people with photographic memory store the info at the same fidelity. Does their perfect recollection of a landscape they looked at for a few minutes fade somewhat after a year or so?
