You’ll hear no disagreement from me on that but I don’t see us anywhere near reimagining how we allocate road space. So absent some unexpected and dramatic shift, scooters/robots/whatever are still able to cause obstructions.
> You are using a much more specific definition than I was.

But this is exactly the problem. If what you meant to ask was, "Why do quantum fields exist" why didn't you just say that? Instead you asked, "Why is there something rather than nothing" which is a vaguely defined open-ended question with a lot of emotional appeal but no intellectual substance, i.e. typical of those parts of contemporary philosophy that are not part of science.

> when you take into account everything science will ever be able to touch - there will be something that remains unknowable

Yes, that's true. But it's not clear that what remains unknowable actually matters. We may never know why quantum fields exist, but so what? We can know that they were not created by a personal God who loves us and wants us to be happy or any such nonsense. We can know that our lives are finite and there is no afterlife and so we have to be judicious in how we spend our time, and so wondering why quantum fields exist might not be the most important problem for us to be addressing. It's enough to know that they exist, and that they behave according to simple mathematical laws.

> I don't believe anyone with any degree of reflection can maintain the view that every fact about reality will one day fall to science.

We know with absolute certainty that this is the case because (tada!) science can demonstrate this (e.g. the halting problem) so we have to make our peace with the fact that there are things we cannot know. But I see no reason to believe that any question that doesn't fall to science will yield to philosophy.
Needing to win a bidding war for TikTok is very different from Washington's confiscating TikTok and giving it to one of its corporate friends. The winner of the bidding war might never get enough money out of TikTok to offset what it paid for TikTok. The seller (ByteDance) is not stupid, and anyone who want to bid can bid.
Today WoW is unavailable in China. The linked article indicates a return to China which AFAIK is not live yet. My statement is true, and the lack of WoW in China for at least a time period will always be true. But as previously mentioned this point isn’t that important. I just found it amusing that the example you used for a company behaving well in China wasn’t even in China at the time.

Implying the United States government will make exceptions and bend over backwards for a Pro-Israel lobbying firm is quite literally spreading false information and antisemitism, actually.

Criticism of Israel isn’t antisemetic, but lying about basic facts because you dislike a particular group of people is antisemitism.

Unpopular opinion: I'm really not keen on Riley using Delta as a key driver to make EU folk pay for the AltStore. I'd much, much rather get it from the Apple App Store, just like everyone else on the planet--and I'd pay Eur 4.99 for it there, easy, just because I really don't want the hassle of dealing with another App Store.
As long as the information is accurate, does it matter?
Definitely takes something to imply someone working in the space (on actual self-driving, not faked demos and empty promises) is engaging in a "fanboy holy war".

The simple fact is Mercedes made a massive leap that other manufacturers have not been able too, despite repeat implications they would do so many years ago. The fact that some of the existing L2 systems can even be activated on non-major highways is a farce, and overall this is a lot of waxing poetic about what could be, vs what is.

What specific apps might this app store distribute that Apple's won't? Apple's insistent that third party app stores enforce Apple's content restrictions IMHO defeats the purpose of the third party app store mechanism.

I’ve tried similar experiments before by asking the LLM to generate “internal” and “external” dialog, which I think is sort of the same idea at a higher level—-and might be preferable because it would allow for easy introspection vs a new set of tokens? I’m not enough of an expert to understand whether this proposal is intended more for training or inference.
the "something that it is like" happening when "particular types of physical processes occur in the brain" points to these being separate and distinct processes, yet materialists claim they are the same and identical process. Qualia isn't the same process as the physical processes in the brain; they are very highly correlated, but ultimately distinctly separate processes.
Complex?

You include the library, put some "progress" markers into your benchmarks, and run them.

It took me minutes in both Rust and Zig to set up.

I've seen huge improvements with it for a single threaded embedded database I'm building.

The only downside is that it doesn't track some things like memcpy well so you also need a flamegraph.

I’m not sure how it’s a cope. I like my job, I get to play with cool tech. I have an awesome 2m dollar house, decent car. My family is great, i’ve got a million bucks in the bank.

Would I be happier if I had a four million dollar house and a GT3?

Maybe marginally, and I can imagine a world in which I was an L7 at FAANG instead of a top of band L5.

But I wouldn’t trade more money for just any job for sure.

I have a close friend who was making 7 figures as an exec at a F500, and he hated it. He quit before 2 years. Now he already had a few mill in the bank from a startup exit, but more money and prestige wasn’t worth misery.
Even if the self-driving bit sucks, you're still getting a pretty decent car, which is more than Tesla should be allowed to claim.

The Blackberry 7100t had a side scroll/job wheel like this along with a body narrower than other blackberries thanks to its 20 key qwerty-ish keyboard (2 characters per key). It still ranks as one of my favorite mobile devices. Great ergonomics paired with just enough web browsing capability to be helpful during emergencies; I would spend my morning Metro ride touch typing email drafts on it. It had its flaws of course, but the side jog wheel and narrow physical keyboard added up a “spark” of feeling like it was on to something.

Non sequitur: Another long forgotten device that still bounces into my thoughts every so often is the Psion REVO. 8MB RAM, 36MHz ARM processor, and full QWERTY keyboard that fit into your (back) pocket —- better paper specs than the hand-me-down 386sx I was using a few years before! One of these days I’ll dig though storage and see if I can resurrect it.

Reciprocity would be US mandating a joint venture JV structure like in PRC aka the TikTok Oracle proposal that fell through. Issue is US is uniquly delusional in thinking they can force a foreign company to divest. PRC isn't going around ordering local Boeing/Microsoft branch to divest from US. Or not delusional since they know PRC wouldn't let TIkTok to divest would open up forced divestitures as viable strategy. Hence these TikTok bills efforts are defacto bans.

It's just like coming PRC EV ban, this isn't about reciprocity. It's about US finding out too late that of their inability to compete. PRC EV companies would love JV setup in states, where local US JV partners provide billions in various subsidies like land, tax credits, political muscling etc because they know they can still make cars cheaper. Local JV's aren't just there to rent seek they have to do serious facilitation work.

Eitherway, US will do what she does, TikTok mostly foreign owned anyways, it won't hurt PRC that much. We'll just have to see which US MNC PRC will force to divest to "leave" in response. The other consideration is does TikTok get to migrate all their US data after they leave? If not, would WFOE Tesla Shanhai get to keep their capital equipment when they get kicked out.
Google has allowed protests before without firing anyone. I'm not debating your personal opinion on protests.
We have seen those cars on the road for a while (this has been over the news for quite a bit already), they just didn't market the tech as L3 due to legal reasons. Also the liability cover clearly shows a level of confidence above that of other car makers.

Yes it is a very limited, but it is still quite a bit ahead of everyone else and if you're thinking we will get full selfdriving on any roads under any conditions in the near future than I think you're kidding yourself. The failure modes I have observed in driver assist (which is much easier than full self driving) with several car makes, really shows the tech is nowhere close yet.
> Yes, but what about cartels and other stuff? Zoning does not mean there is a cartel nor does it mean you cannot build apartments.

Laws can be the mechanism a cartel uses for enforcement. This is called regulatory capture. The incumbents capture the regulators and have them pass laws to restrict supply and create barriers to entry.

The zoning laws restrict supply and create barriers to entry.

> Sure, but you said it's illegal to get into the market so I was curious what law you had in mind, as an upright citizen I wanted to report a crime, as I understand you don't know what law you had been referencing when making the previous statement?

Suppose that Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix have formed a price fixing cartel. If Hynix was bought out by, say, Oracle, who then does nothing to increase production, how would this imply that there isn't a cartel? Buying out an existing member of the cartel doesn't increase supply or lower prices.
> Unless JetBrains rolls out language support for something like Rust’s Result, exceptions are superior and Kotlin community would better off embracing them instead of trying to be different for the sake of being different.

If this was true, why do Jetbrains themselves keep reinventing their own per-domain Result classes for their new code? For example, in their coroutines library they invented another Result type specifically for Channels[1] and isn't interoperable at all with their other Result type[2] that was also originally written to facilitate some of the coroutines code.

If Jetbrains' own internal library authors keep reaching for a Result type then I think we're better off following suit, because if they thought exceptions were superior in this example, they would have used them.

I use nixos on my laptop, but never learnt enough to make it my everywhere-OS.

Might I suggest a different route that I took - use the base image from whatever vps and modify as little as possible of it. Then run everything else in docker.

That's how I migrated my placeholder website and my gogs install across to a new provider: I copied my data across and ran the original commands to launch docker containers that I used on the first server. These are now happily running on the new server.

> Sventek told BleepingComputer that they were previously able to compile Cyberpunk 2077 from the CD Projekt's leak...

Is 450gb really that big enough? Games are individually often close to a hundred gb, and I'd assume the source code has more things.
So I bit on this guys ad. First red flag? Using GumRoad. Which is basically course grift central. Immediately you have the option to buy other courses from his recommendations (with a coupon of course!)

That makes me wonder, regarding AOL/Yahoo/Verizon/... what's the story behind "8 BITMIME" and their mail server's broken 8-bit handling ([0],[1])? Did they just get server software with bugs in one of the acquisitions/mergers? Or is it some incompatibility or configuration issue comparable to the 500-mile e-mail story [2]?

(Note: I had no idea they hadn't fixed it yet (at least the utf8 part)... I tested just now, and, sure, it's still broken... currently it is operating in "State 2".)

Oh and if you don't want to go full nixos, you can just install whatever the base image for your server from the provider and run nix as a separate install for your applications.
Fed's Goolsbee: 'It makes sense to wait' before cutting rates

So with a population of 340m, 15m vacant properties, and an average household size of 2.5 we have 15,000,000/(340,000,000/2.5)= 0.11, or a possible vacancy rate of 11%. That seems like a lot.

I'd recommend just using cloud-init.

If you're running a server in the cloud it's already available.

It takes no effort to set up yourself .. and it's just a basic script that is run that sets up a server exactly how you want it.
I had an issue with the Download button not working the first time as well. The solution was to go back to AltStore homepage, click and go through the checkout process again, at some point it says you already are subscribed and instead of charging you again takes you to the download page, where this time the button works.

At least that's what happened for me, worth a try.
Announcing the Open Home Foundation
I think this “tweet” is totally unbalanced. And I think he misses some of the significant downsides.

He is moaning about Venture Capital, not YC. You can use the YC money and bootstrap. Although obviously YC is pushing the Venture Capital drug and will filter for Venture Capital seeking founders/opportunities.

My experience of an incubator showed me that incubators disable founders. Incubators put back into school where the teachers tell you they know everything. Many mentor relationships are dangerous too. It damages your psyche and is hard to escape the desire to get the best advice/mentoring. Learning to be a founder is all about making your own good and bad decision. The right attitude is hard to maintain, and hopefully YC builds it (no idea if it does). Get advice but learn how to ignore most of it (even geniuses get most things wrong).

7% for $500k is a great deal if you use it carefully: use the network and experience to your advantage and you should get more than an extra 7% growth. Take care that other flashier startups don’t steal your star employees.

YC gets preferential shares, but founders get common shares: so alignment is wrong. YC has the financial incentive to team up with Venture Capitalists against founders. Not saying they do, but it is a bad signal that YC gives.

You need to watch YCs behaviour with the few winners to learn the outcomes for YC versus founders - on average only the few winners matter financially. The final results for the reddit.com IPO are really weird given reddit was in the first YC batch: https://archive.is/https://www.businessinsider.com/who-got-r... (Sam Altman had 9% ownership).

Finally, PG has written multiple essays about how startups need to shoot for the moon. I have seen zero information come out from YC about median returns for founders, or an analysis of the $ earned against the time invested for the vast majority of founders (the ones that do not successfully start unicorns). Some light on this subject from YC would be welcome. Too much of the external YC writing is clearly self-serving while saying they help founders (the whole VC industry is like this though).

I am in New Zealand so I have little experience with YC (watched one guy from here accept and flame out - but I had a bad signal about him anyway).
But as the article points out, the advice to use unbuffered JSON lines for commands that are line oriented is well given. Not doing that can really make life sad.

This is also true of most symmetric cryptography algorithms. (Of which one-time pad is one of. So is AES-256. It's more convenient to just use AES-256.)

The implied context of "post-quantum cryptography" is usually asymmetric cryptography.

TL/DR: Don't bother trying to go big, even if you believe in your idea, because difficulty. Instead, pay me $375 for performatted business platitudes and chat with a bunch of randos.
What does “Apple approved” mean? I know Apple has heavy handed curation, for example requiring various forms of moderation / censorship of social media apps. Can these stores offer whatever they want?

Also what’s with that fee? Why aren’t phones forced to operate like traditional operating systems? Apple shouldn’t be allowed to charge fees for people to install software on devices they own.
Two. Delta the emulator, and a clipboard manager.

I assume there will be a few more soon, though Apple still pushes for notarization and such, making things difficult for the lone hacker developing for fun. So I don't expect as many apps as once cydia had.

It's pretty cool that I can play Chrono Trigger and Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition on the go though :) I'd love to see Epic bringing Fortnite to AltStore out of spite. :D
Oddly enough most laypeople don't know about equal temperament, and most musicians learn in their training that it's not fundamental. In my earliest music lessons, I learned to tune my instrument, the cello, by perfect intervals. My teacher explained to me why the notes wouldn't match the piano exactly. Save for keyboards, most of the instruments in an orchestra don't have a well defined temperament.
