Because you need some way to find communities/users. You can either do it the TOR way (AKA give everybody a keypair and treat base64-encoded public keys as addresses / handles), but those addresses aren't human-friendly and are hard to remember.

You can go the DNS way and have a centralized registry. It may be hierarchical and/or distributed, but it's fundamentally still centralized.

You can go the free-for-all way and allow anybody to register any handle/domain under any public key. This works for closed networks with trusted participants, but on an open network where name registration is at no cost, a profit-seeker will inevitably register all the names for themselves and try to sell them, probably at somewhat extortionate prices.

The only way to deter profit seekers is to introduce a small cost to register and maintain a name. You need fees to be high enough for most names to be unprofitable to snatch, but low enough to still be affordable to a vast majority of users. The only way to collect fees in a decentralized manner that we know of so far is via a blockchain.

The crucial realization here is that, with a human-friendly naming system, there's always going to be a cost to acquiring a name. It may come from the designers themselves or from the people who got all the names in a gold rush, but it's always going to be there. The cost doesn't necessarily have to be financial, many centralized system require scarce resources (e.g. phone numbers or human attention to solve captchas) to squat on.

Your content really helps me move forward with my project, thank you for that Max. Being back on twitter after six months, I get the same feeling. Cool and exciting to get retweeted and to see the followers count ramp up. But it does not necessarily translate into dollars at the end of the day. ROI is hard to see, at my level. Reddit feels more like an investment due to the SEO and hyper targeted niche audience on some subs.

One question though : why do you say "as it's pretty obvious that the domains in which EROFS and DwarFS are being used have extremely little overlap. DwarFS will likely never be able to run on embedded devices" ? (I mean : as far as I know EroFS was mostly used in smartphones, which are actually powerful devices !)

note also, that the temperature difference is also influenced by the outlet temperature: if you have a radiator system, you'll need a higher outlet temperature than say a floor or ceiling heating system. this is because the energy transported is proportional to area of the delivery system. so that's also something to optimize. add in a decent insulation (less units of heat required to replace lost heat units) and you get a higher COP.

I find it very disturbing that the Wikipedia thread posted in the post above discusses the topic like it's about CP. It's clearly not. It's completely about the political implications of 8ch, especially in the aftermath of the connection between the Christchurch shooting by Brenton Tarrant.

I have browsed 8ch extensively in the past, and continue to browse 4chan. You'll be exposed to disgusting imagery from time to time, no doubt, but the idea that 8ch is censored because of illegal and disgusting imagery is so incredibly disingenuous, this is clearly about political censorship of right wing extremism.

If I had a bit less faith in humanity I would even go as far as to suggest that the Wikipedia thread is crafted to be about CP and not politics for the sake of justifying censorship and rewriting history. 8ch was not controversial because of CP, it was controversial because of extremist politics, and attempting to rewrite history like this is just so typical of Wikipedians these days.
That's a substantial reduction. Thanks for testing this!

Ask HN: PhD or continue my consulting work
Hi, I'm a software engineer with three years of experience, including two years in a university's software engineering department (though I'm not sure if that counts as real experience) and one year at a large consulting company, working fully remotely. I don't like the job; it's too stressful and I'm not learning much. Recently, a professor contacted me, suggesting I pursue a PhD in computer science. However, the salary would be half of what I'm currently earning. The upside is there would be less stress, and I'd have time to study topics I'm interested in. For example, I want to learn a new programming language (Rust) but currently don't have the time, or improve my skills with LeetCode exercises, which could help me land a better job, perhaps at a FAANG company. Is pursuing a PhD better than gaining more professional experience for landing a job at a major company? Does it make sense to make this career change from a practical standpoint? At the moment, I'm not interested in the academic world, but that could change if I enjoy following this path.
XOR'ing consecutive elements is the mark of people used to sequential, rather than parallel, processing.

I strongly recommend Dixon's The Rise and Fall of Languages (https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Dixon/dp/0521626544) for a slightly contrary view. His experience with Australia suggests that languages can exist in equilibria for long periods of time with considerable borrowing of not only words but other language features so that after a long time you can't really usefully identify any evolutionary tree.

What happens, he suggests, is occasionally you have significant events which cause one, or sometimes several closely located, languages to spread widely and then you can see a family tree over that period of time. For example: Indo-European. What you can't hope to do is to go back tens of thousands of years.

Obviously he sees things through the filter of Australian linguistics, but he did some excellent fieldwork (which is also very interesting, though it may be out of print) and produced a wonderful monograph on Dyirbal (of "women, fire and dangerous things" fame).

As is OSL / Oslo Gardermoen, but on occasion they will use the PA to find late pax, at least on international flights. Presumably there's more paperwork if there's a no-show, I don't know.

Anyway, sitting in a bar there a few years ago, waiting for my flight, I hear a series of progressively more strongly worded announcements for pax X and Y to get to the gate or else.

Noone shows. Then the 'This is absolutely, positively, make no mistake about it final call for flight such-and-such, gate closes in 30 seconds.'-announcement.

At which point the two men at the table next to me get up and stroll over to the nearmost gate.

I almost fist-pumped when the gate attendant just looked at them (eyes ablaze!) and said 'Sorry, gate just closed!' then proceeded to inform whoever was listening on the VHF that pax X and Y were no-shows, presumably to have their luggage located and offloaded.

Yes, the previous poster was somewhat wrong. Elites can only lose power in two ways: either other elites want them taken down (the most common case by far), or a violent uprising takes them down (very very rare).

Their more important point is that the rule of law doesn't apply to the powerful. For example, a sitting president will never lose their office simply because they broke the law. They can break any law they want, as long as they have the other elites on their side.

All civilizations are fundamentally based on armed compulsion. That's not a great way of understanding the difference between our modern culture and the Roman world.

A more useful way to delineate would be to say that Romans lived in a world where "might makes right" was the unquestioned order of the universe. The weak were trod underfoot and that was the way of the world. In modernity, we have a shared assumption that is very different, which is that even the weakest among us have a basic right to dignity and freedom. That was not an assumption that existed until after Christianity and its philosophies had fully taken root.

We have a air-to-air heat pump (minisplit). We also have heat foil in the floors. We've had weeks around -20C and below most winters.

I do hear the minisplit working hard those weeks, but we just needed a bit of extra help from the floor heating to have a comfortable 20C indoor.
I think it's just that privileged 20-year olds are the best material with which elites can build the next generation to replace themselves and thus the system in which they are embedded. Young Ivy Leaguers are also the basic building material of traditional business' executive corps, the CIA, the FBI, the military officer Corp, McKensie, and so on. In past centuries, these kids would be sent to manage imperial affairs in the Raj or something.

There are good reasons for this: their parents were last season's elites and want to pass it on, their classmates will likely be good contacts in other elite institutions, and they've already been trained to please establishment figures enthusiastically (or they wouldn't be Stanford wiz kids).

Not to sound like a crank, but information technology is now (and, really, has been since it's inception) an important theater in the class war, and elites are recruiting for it the same way they always have.
Highest priority:

- Public speaking

- Solid writing

Second-tier:

- Speaking to the business use case / ROI of whatever they are (or want to be) working on

If you can not tell others what you are working on, or about an idea (writing & speaking), you will be capped early in your career

If you do not know the value whatever you are (or want to be) working on brings, you will be capped between early and mid career

But if you can explain it to others in a way they can see the value to themselves, you will go far
China Tells Telecom Carriers to Phase Out Foreign Chips in Blow to Intel, AMD
Personally I'd say the big change is more that programming has gotten less tedious/annoying rather than easier per se. A lot of older programming languages and operating systems and environments could probably be understood more easily in their totality due to how much less there was to keep track of, while the actual process of coding for them was more of a chore due to the lack of good tooling and frameworks.

Or if you go back enough, even basic aspects of language design being missing. Many variants of assembly language not even having for loops in their modern form for example, and requiring you to manually set them up each time.

That's an argument about complexity. And "organic" simply means based on molecules with a carbon backbone. They're versastile, but that does not give them any known information processing advantage over silicon.

If analog processing were relevant (it most likely isn't) then Artifical Neural Networks could also be implemented on analog silicon circuits.

As for the complexity, well, the systems are getting more complex. Straight lines on log charts. That's what scaling is about. Getting there, to that complexity.

So I'm just not seeing any knockout argument from you. We can't predict the future with certainty. But the factors you present do not appear to be fundamental blockers on the possibility. You're pointing at the lack of an existence proof... which is always the case before a protoype.

It sounds like you're basically abandoning forward-thinking and will only acknowledge AGI when it hits you over the head. A sign of intelligence is also the ability to plan for an unseen future.

Cash might be an account, and a bank account might be another one. So if Alice buys with cash, it'd be $20 debit in the books account [1] and $20 credit in the cash account. Or if she paid for the book with something that directly takes the money from the bank account, the credit would be to the bank account.

Note that "credit" in double-entry bookkeeping means a transfer from that account and debit means a transfer to that account. So the debit side of buying the book goes into the books account. The credit entry is for whatever account value is transferred from in the transaction.

I'm not sure I'd say that Alice's net worth goes down by $20 when she buys the book since the financial value of the book would technically also be part of her net worth.

I also wouldn't consider "net worth" to be a single account.

Technically net worth would be the sum of all of Alice's assets in cash, bank accounts, real estate, books and other non-financial assets etc., minus all her liabilities. Each of those might be a separate account in the bookkeeping.

Disclaimer: I'm not an accountant.

[1] There might not be a separate account for books unless Alice is a real books aficionado and a meticulous bookkeeper, so the account might also be "books, movies & music", "entertainment & culture", or just "personal items" depending on what granularity is desired/needed.

It might also be that such items are not considered to have financial value in the system (which would probably be the correct unless Alice collects books) and the debit ("to") would actually go in some kind of an (abstract) expenses account instead. Either way, both the value leaving cash/bank and the value "entering" some other account would be entered.
It does seem like an oversight, but there's nothing "suboptimal non-default options" about iteven if the implementation posted here seems somewhat hastily hacked together.

Don’t you want to replace the radiators with large vertical floor to ceiling radiators to get the same amount of heat transfer at a lowest possible temperature?

I am not familiar with the nuances, but this appears to be an equation with two variables - water temperature and radiator surface area. Maximising surface area should slow you to use lower water temperature. And the lower the water temperature, the more efficient the heat pump will be?
