Yes, a space colony would be very unlikely to ever be "fully" independent of Earth. Why would they cut off trade? Surely cutting off relations to Earth would always come with some price.

But, there's prices, and there's prices. Earth history can tell you all about that.

I mean, we're witnessing how this is a continuum and not a binary thing right now, as East and West are decoupling. Will they decouple fully? Doubt it. Will they perhaps recouple someday? Perhaps. Is there a price to this decoupling? Yes, on both sides, but apparently the sides consider it worth it, because it's happening.

As much as I love npp, really all I need is sessions, tabs and spellcheck. Maybe a few other minor features.

I've been wanting/meaning to make a new text editor using SciTE as a base, just adding in that core functionality that I need, but I haven't got around to it.

If this NPN uses flatpacks I'm not really interested though. I want something super lightweight and fast that can be run as close to standalone as possible.

Might be time to move the text editor project to the top of my list, since it seems other people would probably also appreciate it.

I was not expecting much, but AppImage startup time and responsiveness looks promising. Memory usage in GNOME System Monitor looks decent (AppRun.wrapped - 13.9MB, NotepadNext - 876.5 kB). Typing feels much faster than Linux version of VSCode, maybe even reaching levels of SublimeText? Need to test with much bigger documents with complicated syntax highlighting to make sure. Overall, the major Notepad++ selling point - autosave on exit - is not implemented here, so until then I'll be going back to Geany, but will keep my eye on this. And forgot to mention that it decently integrates into GNOME desktop as well, no issues with decorations and missing app in Alt+Tab list.

I have personally used cryptocurrency (Monero) to buy small quantities of substances for personal use from darkweb marketplaces a while ago.

This has been a great experience, I think the system of public vendor reputation , reviews, user discussions, independently published test results etc. adds a significant layer of safety to this process compared to random local 'street' type transactions of this sort.

Whether you approve of this or not, crypto is a very important layer in this system, I feel like this is the only actual use it has currently, although it's obviously not something crypto advocates like to advertise.

In (my preferable) alternative universe, there would have been no speculation and to buy crypto you would have to buy in smaller amounts in cash or at local shops. It would have displaced PayPal and been used primarily for e-commerce and local small dollar value transactions to allow small businesses to escape ACH fees. The largest movers would have been international travelers and migrant workers.
> have folks invented a cheap/fast way of going from L2 <-> L2 without having to do an L1 tx?

There are bridge providers like Connext (https://www.connext.network/), Hop (https://portal.arbitrum.io/projects/bridges-and-on-ramps?pro...), LayerZero (https://layerzero.network/) etc that provide liquidity across L2s to make it simple and cheap for common assets like USDC, ETH, etc.

Attempts to do this trustlessly without relying on a liquidity provider do exist, but they're not mature enough to mention yet. They usually rely on zk proofs to validate that an asset was bridged from one chain to another.

L2s are presently already supporting more activity than L1, with 4 L2s regularly doing more TPS than L1. Agreed that fragmentation is a concern, but I think we'll get there soon where the UX is abstracted away for users and the assets flow cheaply.

This is unfair. When it works, local AI features are absolutely brilliant -- take Google's Now Playing[0] (and plenty more of their local AI features) for instance: they're able to enhance the user experience without draconian data collection.

Personally, I'm absolutely fine with local AIs, even if they're proprietary. That is, of course, assuming the AI layer is able to perform the task without storing its inputs and then re-uploading PII (or any data, depending on the feature).

Of course, if any data is being sent for training, then that should always be made clear to the user when they are enabling the feature (and they should be able to disable it at any time).

The startup speed for this app is really good. From my quick testing it seems like it is as fast or slightly faster than npp. I am surprised that QT can be that fast. I recall this line from the Sumatra PDF developer on why he chose win32 only:

>The only way for one person to even attempt cross-platform app is to use a UI abstraction layer like Qt, WxWidgets or Gtk.

>The problem is that Gtk is ugly, Qt is extremely bloated and WxWidgets barely works.[0]

To be fair, a PDF reader and a notepad editor are two different things, and startup speed is only one metric which is the only one I tested. But I always assumed npp was also using win32 APIs only for similar reasons. (I don't actualy know what GUI toolkit npp uses.) And "bloated" could perhaps mean a lot of things. Perhaps QT takes more memory or something. But I always assumed npp's unbeatable speed was due to native APIs.

To be fair there are a large number of people that think the AMBE vocoders should be removed from the ham bands too. Personally I don't think they run afoul of the rules since the intent is not to obscure meaning.

I think encryption is a terrible idea for amateur radio not because of companies doing things (they have ample land mobile allocations), but because it would be filled with cryptoshit scams in no time at all. I know of at least one RF-based cryptocurrency already. I'd also be worried about high speed traders on the HF bands since they're already trying to get licenses in the shortwave broadcast bands as it is. Not to mention I've yet to hear of a legit use case for encryption in the amateur bands that isn't served just as well by other licensed (and licensed-by-rule) services.
Why are static 3D cells going to get us there when other ideas have not? Is it needed to replicate “arbitrary” academic ideas of consciousness (despite our best efforts our models are always approximation) to make a useful machine?

Anything not matching the world view is clearly somehow wrong. Very impressive reality distortion field there. Except it's scary because it's the same mechanic that also makes people vote for populists that throw "great" rhetoric but act against their interests.

Funny thing is that when I got my ADHD diagnosis, it was, for adults, very "fresh" conceptually. Which means everything got reviewed, retested, rechecked multiple times. Two professors and several doctors were involved. I'm pretty sure even medical professionals would find it hard to poke holes in either my diagnosis or treatment plan. I even got to be a "demo patient" for medical students multiple times, for them to learn.

But, they read a bunch of papers (without training in the field), so clearly they know better, eh?
"Do not be tempted to try this (terrorism/attempted revolution" to the citizenry

And the citizenry are the only ones left who can be deterred by this message. Islamic State will switch to using suicide bombers who have no fear of torture.

My personal theory is that Prigozhin's aborted mutiny last year and Ukraine's sustained drone campaign against Russian oil infrastructure paved the way to the Crocus Hall attack. Now the doors have been opened and Russia's internal security has been revealed for the paper tiger that it is. Every single paramilitary group with a bone to pick with Russia has now been forcefully made aware of Putin's weakness and now they'll be lining up to copy these attacks. All the while, he continues to try to blame Ukraine for this despite all evidence to the contrary. Scary times to be living in Russia right now!

> Hamas started terror attacks during the Oslo process IIRC, and intensified terror attacks before the elections after Rabin's assassination,

Portraying Hamas as a unilateral spoiler is completely disingenuous.

[1]

> In early January 1996 Peres faced another difficult decision. The Israeli General Security Service--Shabak--asked him for permission to assassinate Yahya Ayyash, the so-called "Engineer," who had personally masterminded several Hamas suicide atacks, which killed 50 and wounded 340 Israelis. The Israeli media presented him as public enemy number one, greatly exaggerating his status within Hamas and omitting to mention that the attacks he organized came as a response to the massacre perpetrated by Dr. Baruch Goldstein in Hebron in February 1994. In mid-1995 Ayyash went into hiding in Gaza, and the Palestinian preventive security service told the Shabak that he would not organize any more attacks on Israelis. But the head of the Shabak, who was about to be removed from his post for his failure to protect Rabin, badly wanted to be remembered for one last spectacular success. Peres gave the green light, thinking that apart from dealing out rough justice, the operation would boost the morale of the nation and of the security services. On 5 January, Ayyash was killed in Gaza by means of a booby-trapped cellular phone. The decision to kill Ayyash turned out to be the greatest mistake of Peres's political career.

This is what spurred Hamas attacks prior to Netanyahu's election, not opposition to Oslo.

> Sincere question: in your ideal world, what would be done in this case?

Great question, and very hard. I don't really have a concrete answer, but generally speaking in my ideal world justice would focus on restoration to the victims. I concede that we may need some aspect of "punishment" to serve as a deterrent, but I think that punishment should benefit the victims, not the state. For example, stole $10k from somebody? Pay them back $25k. There should be no victimless crimes IMHO, and if "society" is the "victim" we should approach that one very skeptically and there should be very clear causation. For example, a dad who takes a few hits on a cannabis joint before bed is not "harming society" even though that has been the justification for draconian drug laws for decades.

I also fully concede that real life is going to be a lot messier and more nuanced than what I've captured, and that such a system would require a large mindshift from society in addition to just systemic reform. It may take a while to get there.

Disclaimer: If I actually had any ability to influence this I would want to spend a lot more time stuyding it and examining current research/science, and it's quite possible my opinion would adjust based on evidence.
>Neuroaffirming research can examine the uniqueness and strengths of neurodivergence.

So it is a non-science which exists to make people feel better about themselves, regardless of the actual facts?

It is absurd to base research on the presupposition that the result has to have a positive impact on the self evaluation of the readers of the research. What even is this?

Good point, although can an exchange really exist that is decentralized? What would that look like? Basically just a neutral broker between two individuals? That is a very interesting idea
Key quote from the article:

> Many have argued that the lack of large-scale applications for the past ten years proves that crypto is useless. I have always argued against this: pretty much every crypto application that is not financial speculation depends on low fees - and so while we have high fees, we should not be surprised that we mainly see financial speculation!

> Now that we have blobs, this key constraint that has been holding us back all this time is starting to melt away. Fees are finally much lower; my statement from seven years ago that the internet of money should not cost more than five cents per transaction is finally coming true.

All of this depends on so called "Layer 2s", which adds a great deal of UX complexity to the end user. I'm skeptical that this is best way to solve the scalability issues that plague cryptocurrency, but I will say that this looks to me like it has a much better shot of succeeding that anything Bitcoin has ever attempted to do on this front.

Do you really think that transformers came to us from God? They're built on the corpses of millions of models that never went anywhere. I spent an entire year trying to scale up a stupid RNN back in 2014. Never went anywhere, because it didn't work. I am sure we are stuck in a local minima now - but it's able to solve problems that were previously impossible. So we will use it until we are impossibly stuck again. Currently, however, we have barely begun to scratch the surface of what's possible with these models.

> The power efficiency difference may be explainable by the much slower frequency of brain computation (200 Hz vs. 2GHz).

Partly, but also because the brain has an asynchronous data-flow design, while the GPU is synchronous, and as you say clocked at a very high frequency.

In a clocked design the clock signal needs to be routed to every element on the chip which requires a lot of power, the more so the higher the frequency is. It's a bit like the amount of energy used doing "battle ropes" at the gym. The heavier the ropes (cf more gates the clock is connected to), the more power it takes to move them, and the faster you want to move them (cf faster clock frequency) the more power it takes.

In a data-flow design, like the brain, there is no clock. Each neuron fires, or not, independent of what other neurons are doing, based on their own individual inputs. If the inputs are changing (i.e. receiving signal spikes from attached neurons), then at some threshold of spike accumulation the neuron will fire (expending energy). If the inputs are not changing, or at a level below threshold, then the neuron will not fire.

To consider the difference, imagine our visual cortex if we're looking at a seagull flying across a blue sky. The seagull represents a tiny part of the visual field, and is the only part that is moving/changing, so there are only a few neurons who's inputs are changing and which themselves will therefore fire and expend energy. The blue sky comprising the rest of the visual field is not changing and we therefore don't expend any energy reprocessing it over and over.

In contrast, if you fed a video (frame by frame) of that same visual scene into a CNN being processed on a GPU, then it does not distinguish between what is changing or not, so 95% of the energy processing each frame will be wasted, and this will be repeated frame by frame as long as we're looking at that scene!
I've unfortunately had to bless my brain with much more of this standard this week, for some reason.

Did I mention that subcomponents (if you look at it like a CSV, cells are further subdivided into components & subcomponents, so subcomponents are sort of where we hit "cell text", if you want to keep going with that broken analogy) — contain escape sequences, so that you can have things like the field separator. Normal stuff, so far. The escape sequences also include highlighting, binary blobs, and a subset of roff.
