"For years, the West’s biggest cities exported their emissions, building distant coal generators to fuel their explosive growth. Los Angeles looked to Delta, Utah. Phoenix turned to the Navajo Nation. Albuquerque turned to the Four Corners region."

Also why California disposes of their lead and mercury in Arizona, Arizona's laws allow it and its much cheaper. Just good old capitalism at work. Lookup sacrifice zones if you want an eye opener.

"We know about this moral scandal in part thanks to research and reporting by ProPublica. Last week, the investigative news outlet published a detailed map of US sacrifice zones.

Likewise, I started getting real critical of Islamophobia in the US on the very day of 9/11. We are judged, not in how we act on the best of days, but how we act on the worst of days.

The events of 9/11 didn't make me love Islam or its adherents. But the way the american public, press, and politicians responded to the events awoke me to the dehumanizing view that many hold towards them. It's no different here. Israel has long held their boot to the neck of Palestinians while funding Hamas; but now they play the victim and use that to justify genocide because the inevitable happened.

Well,

The demarcation problem is distinguishing science from non-science.

Karl Popper theorizes that falsifiability is what makes the difference.

But there's nothing falsifiable about that theory! What would you test?

If you accept that there are meaningful theories outside of science, this works out fine. If you don't, you'll struggle to say what science is.
> Apart from what it says about sales of the Cybertruck,

What? It says nothing about Cybertruck sales and everything about how slow they've been to ramp up production.

Tesla has a well-known history of being slow to put a new model into production. I find it odd that you would assume less than 4,000 Cybertrucks have been sold because of lack of interest.
This is the result of civil disobedience. He wanted to raise awareness of Google's dealings with the Israeli defence force, this is probably the best thing that could have happened, because all eyes are on the cause now.

>Wittgenstein just seems to be profoundly ignorant of science and how it applies to philosophical questions

??? If anything his criticism of his own work was that it was excessively represented language as being the kind of language used by the natural sciences, which was a narrow slice of the full breadth of possible ways language can be used to convey meaning. The very thing that makes his career so fascinating is that he was purely an engineering bro, who cared more about math and logic, and he brought that perspective into philosophy, and challenged philosophy as being nonsense when measured against the standards of the hard sciences. That's essentially what the Tractatus is, and also the reason why it was retrospectively regarded as dogmatic.

Shannon's information theory is brilliant, but born out of an interest in formalisms related information transmission, and while it can be treated like it's in conversation with theories of semantic meaning, I don't think it was ever considered a specific repudiation of any particular approach. There was a whole century's worth of "ordinary language" philosophy in the anglo world guilty of much graver offenses in regarding uncritical assumptions about ordinary language as some kind of conceptual or informational bedrock, and the ways you apply Shannon to any of that, while I think you can, are non-obvious.

> And Wittgenstein actually had no excuse because Shannon published while Wittgenstein was still alive.

Tractatus came out something like 20 years before information theory, and by the time it was published he had already taken his late career "turn" to self criticism, but again, I don't think anyone treated Shannon like it was any specific commentary on his philosophy, the topics are rather remote and while they can "speak to" one another in a sense, a lot depends on how you build out your conceptual bridge between the two topics.
> Not 123, but "they do have the choice to use uio as numbers".

So they don't, and all you have to do to understand the context is just not cut out your own words "Not uio as 123," is what I've shortened in my quote to "not uio", so no matter how much you stare at the pictures, you can't remove that. If you followed the conversation honestly, you could even fit 789, but still not 456. You also forgot the other part about input field recognition, so you've twisted both of my original qualifiers to fit your irrelevant experience as an important argument

You can include 0 and period just fine without any shifts. And it is material, just like breaking positioning of signs is. You're not a numpad person, so you don't know/care, but I am and do, so...

Quite frankly, it's stuff like this that makes me love the HN community.

Yeah, but Patreon is still beholden to the individual-market optimizer model. I'm talking about a group, a collective, that deliberately funds stuff that is merely good content.

Maybe a collective Patreon-like "guild" would be a starting point.
Well, it's the last actual MPU from that era, so from the perspective of "you will still be able to buy them when existing stock runs out," sure.

What about CKeditor?
You're welcome. I have roots in Texas back to at least 1835. I have always enjoyed reading history, especially obscure stuff. One problem that I run into far too often is the assertion that when children in Texas are taught about anglo settlement, the empresario system, the grants for settlement, etc that state curriculum glosses over the role of slavery in anglo settlement at the time. I had Texas history in grade school back in the 60's and we definitely covered the fact that anglo settlers brought slaves with them into Texas and that this was a contentious point. We covered Mexican history leading up to the Texas Revolution so we could understand the whole background of the relationship between Mexicans already living for generations in the Mexican state of Tejas and the Anglos who hoped to establish themselves in the state. Of course the fall of the Alamo was a sacred event to be remembered forever but we still learned that there were Mexican residents of Texas who opposed Santa Ana.

History always has weird twists and unexpected alliances. That book is a great book full of descriptions of contemporary occurrences that really make you appreciate how far we have all come.
> Why is HN flagging anything related to this topic?

Divisive political topics are usually flagged heavily, especially when they have little connection to any novel subject of intellectual interest.

HN is not, and does not seek to be, a discussion board where the subjects are driven by simply current general interest salience, and just because a topic isimportant doesn't mean it is particularly relevant for HN.

There's lots of discussion fora in the world, HN doesn't have to cover all the space.

From the guidelines:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
This complaint is not really about the proposed change, it is a longstanding problem with Java. As long as you treat exceptions with the sane care in switch statements as you do in try statements, this doesn't introduce any new problems.

Is it surprising that a company that thought a vehicle this absurd was a good idea to build would also suffer from quality control issues?
It’s important to remember that it’s really tough to separate this stuff out and properly attribute changes.

There could be natural causes for the little ice age starting/ending but there’s also evidence pointing that decreased human activity resulted in cooling and increased activity resulted in heating. Aside from CO2 emissions, there’s deforestation, controlled burns, and other terraforming projects on a massive scale around that time period that could easily have contributed in a major way.

Advertising everywhere. Signage. People dressed as hotdogs paid a few bucks an hour to wave a sign shaped like a ketchup bottle.

The mystery to me is why this group of early web pioneers thought it could be any different.

Enshitification isn't new, it's not even different from "making money and maximizing the bottom line". Capitalism is creative destruction driven by distributed profit seeking along the edges of relatively immobile statist and corporate oligopolistic structures.

This always involves cycles of enshitification that end in bottom feeding until extinguished by new techno-social revolutions.

GenXers were talking about the enshitification of main street with the spread of big box stores and malls in the 80s and 90s. Same system, same process, new generation.
> show me your concrete evidence for many worlds. You can't do it.

Most people would agree that the sun emits light in all directions, but there is no way to prove it with concrete evidence. The only thing you can prove with concrete evidence is that the sun emits light in the direction of objects in our solar system that we can see. We infer that the sun emits light in all directions because that is the best explanation that accounts for the data that we have.

Many-worlds is the same. We can't demonstrate their existence, we infer it from the current-best explanation that accounts for the data that we have.
The first steps towards DuckDuckGo assuming a paid business model. Love it!
Of course. But there's a huge difference between labor disputes - renegotiating your relationship with the company - and folks in the trenches trying to steer top level decisions according to their personal world views. Most companies simply are not very good vehicles for bringing about social change.

But that's ok, that's not what they are for, and there are much better avenues. It's fine to use the money you earn from a company to fund your efforts to further your cause, but trying to use someone else's company to further your cause directly is almost always a mistake.

Because it’s nowhere close to the scale of the human brain, calling it a mouse brain would be closer. People have 100x the neurons and 10,000x the synaptic connections and wildly different architecture, so it’s really got nothing in more in common with a human brain over some other kind of brain.

Nevermind man. Design is supposed to look nice and look like it goes together with the rest of the ecosystem. It is not mutually exclusive with functionality. But you clearly don't care about design that looks good. You are clearly not a design guy. You do not have an eye for design. You do not care about design. As I said, that's fine. It limits the audience of the product but it can be incredibly niche like that if it wants to be.

>New construction houses are crap quality

This is called survivorship bias. Plenty of hold houses were total shit. They're not around any longer. There is also a second bias of the depletion of natural materials older houses were made of, massive increases in population, and massively changed consumer tastes/requirements.

>Restaurant food quality seems like it's gotten worse and much more expensive.

This is a mix of things occurring, though some of this can be attributed to VC culture. I mean, I can go to some restaurants and get super high quality food. But anything that has turned into a franchize is no longer about selling a product, it's more worried about growth month over month. Then when you add things like general inflation, remember your (great?) grand parents talking about nickel burgers, things in our economy march up in price over time. Oh, then add in we're selling to global markets, where if you're old enough we were generally selling to local/national markets.

Communication and distribution has massively changed (a lot of this is thanks to the internet itself) which means the way markets operate have massively changed. We're just really starting to notice this now.
How to have original content over all the social media and with due credits
kindly put your suggestions, would love to have them onboards.
It's the perfect example of the phenomenon they're describing.
I’ve heard people (seemingly educated and intelligent) making arguments like volcanoes emit more (I wasn’t sure when they said it at the time but I looked it up and it’s nowhere near the amount - humans win by an overwhelming amount in CO2 emitted each year even if you look at the biggest eruptions ever).
I'll have to re-read that series again. I have completely written that out of my memory!
Sure, but how many 1 Mhz z80 machines do you remember?

I'm not saying the z80 is better than the 6502, but it's a pretty big stretch to say the 6502 is better, especially if you're not coding in assembler.
Sure, but that's really more of a historical perspective. The STL is still there as part of the standard library, although basically just the containers portion. It's been so long since I used the original standalone (SGI) version of the STL, that I can't even recall exactly what was in it other than containers and iterators (any algorithms?).
There are very few cases where you can abstract away error handling because it's extremely context dependent.
One the surface, it's a simple, understandable demo for the masses. While at the same time, it hints at deeper commercial usage.

Disney has been using digital likeness to maintain characters who's actors/actresses have died. Princess Leia is the most prominent example. Arguably, there is significant realistic value in being able to generate a human-like character that doesn't have to be recast. That character can be any age, at any time, and look exactly like the actor/actress.

For actors/actresses, I suspect many of them will start licensing their image/likeness as they look to wind down their careers. It gives them on-going income with very little effort.

This is a great guide.

Also - despite the fact that language model embedding [1] are currently the hot rage, good old embedding models are more than good enough for most tasks.

With just a bit of tuning, they're generally as good at many sentence embedding tasks [2], and with good libraries [3] you're getting something like 400k sentence/sec on laptop CPU versus ~4k-15k sentences/sec on a v100 for LM embeddings.

When you should use language model embeddings:

- Multilingual tasks. While some embedding models are multilingual aligned (eg. MUSE [4]), you still need to route the sentence to the correct embedding model file (you need something like langdetect). It's also cumbersome, with one 400mb file per language.

For LM embedding models, many are multilingual aligned right away.

- Tasks that are very context specific or require fine-tuning. For instance, if you're making a RAG system for medical documents, the embedding space is best when it creates larger deviations for the difference between seemingly-related medical words.

This means models with more embedding dimensions, and heavily favors LM models over classic embedding models.
