When you think about it, this is one area that Russia can't really compete in as well as western countries. Autonomous weapons will be the decider on any future battlefield minus nuclear weapons.

But that's always been the pain of nukes "let me do what I want or I'll nuke you" has become a catch phrase.

If China invaded Taiwan tomorrow and said "if you stop us we will use nuclear weapons"...like what can you say to that? It's very easy to bet against mutually assured destruction because that takes two parties and both have to accept said destruction...I don't think many Western countries would go "Okay fine, you do what you gotta do and we'll send some right back to you"...I think we'd probably just let China take Taiwan.

The only thing that would trigger a western nuclear response would be if we couldn't evacuate semi technology and assets out before invasion, I think US for sure would definitely lay hands on the big red button if that was in play.

That logic works, perhaps, for wired ISPs but not for wireless ISPs. Does the New York law cover wireless ISPs or only wired ISPs?

Yes, wireless spectrum is a limited public resource that requires government permission to use, but the government in that case is federal government.
Yes, universities and public research labs. What they aren't effective at, however, is financing trials, so unless we find a way to overhaul that issue we have to deal with pharma companies.
Yes, precisely … but I think there is an issue with the transformer which would need to be energized 24/7 and uses power sitting idle …

I forget - I did look into this - but somehow the 110 to 12v conversation using normal components eats up the energy savings?
Where I live (New York) it was until recently illegal to have food in a funeral home. There are alot of weird rules around death and funerals, as I think we're all a little weird about how we approach these matters.
It’s really difficult to compare city statistics. Boston includes some really pretty poor areas like Roxbury and Dorchester that don’t have a real counterpart except for very small areas of SF. The 80% high end of the median only differs by about 10%.

I agree that Boston is very different both because of industry diversity and fewer geographical constraints other than the ocean. But the fact remains that although there are some very expensive communities, many though not all on the ocean, an hour drive gets you to some pretty reasonable pricing—say $500K on multiple acres.

> FSD has had very aggressive cabin monitoring for years

When FSD was first released, the steering wheel checks were every fifteen MINUTES (and there are fatal collision reports that mention that in one incident, the car only checked for attentiveness 6 times in 37 minutes), and NHTSA had to push Tesla into reducing that to a sane number.
I'm using it for my programming language (~15kLOC) as a dev and test runner and haven't had any Bun specific issues so far.

Fighting back against powerful corporations does happen, though usually over long time scales.

Plenty of the most powerful corporations a few generations ago are weak or nonexistent today. Their abuses of power, though problematic, are typically less egregious than governmental abuses of power.

Even at an individual level, I can simply withdraw my support by not buying their products or services.

Whereas fighting the government - or even trying to withdraw support - typically leads to imprisonment or death.
> Also game engines emphatically don't have to be huge. Look at Balatro shipping on Love2d.

Balatro convinced me that Love2D might be a good contender for my next small 2D game release. I had no idea you could integrate Steamworks or 2D shaders that looked that good into Love2D. And it seems to be very cross-platform, since Balatro released on pretty much every platform on day 1 (with some porting help from a third party developer it seems like).

And since it's Lua based, I should be able to port a slightly simpler version of the game over to the Playdate console.

I'm also considering Godot, though.

If you disentangle the wealth these owners have accumulated as property owners from the other things they've done in life then it makes sense. These conversations always go the same way:

"These owners become wealthy from the work of the community! They didn't create anything!"

"Nuh uh. They volunteered at that beach cleanup and are thus rightly entitled to any property wins."

This says "the defendant’s subjective intent to threaten the victim must be established based on a showing of (at least) recklessness".

I think many could argue that speech which wasn't intentionally intended to harm should not be interpreted as such, and I don't see where this makes intentional harm less prosecutable. Everyone's opinion is different, including judges of course, and I'm not saying yours is wrong, but I'd like to hear more about why you think this makes "things" harder.

1Password is a closed-source, cloud-hosted service. At any time, for any reason, they can close and delete your account, leaving you high and dry. Self-hosted, multi-device password managers are the only real solution. Thankfully, Vaultwarden and KeePassXC fill this role perfectly.

It's weird to me to say that regulation is needed for what are widely considered to be the best laptop computers for almost everyone at any price by a country mile. The reality is that only a fraction of buyers actually benefit from upgrades over the base configuration.

First, congrats to the Pharo team, I mean they do a lot of work.

But a singular testament of Pharo is that it this amazing environment, with all this heritage, tickling many of the more popular "CS folk" buttons.

It's an active, busy project, with lots of committers.

And yet, "nobody" uses it.

The Pharo folks live in their sandbox, eating their dog food, making Pharo more Pharo than ever, but it seems to only be uplifting folks making Pharo. Pharo is built for Pharo makers to make Pharo, and they continue make Pharo a better place for them to live and do their work.

I'm certainly not going say that its because of X or Y or Z. Just that, it "is". It is "not used" in the large. Sure, folks use it, they have their success stories like any project does to some extent. But the larger "hive mind" of the "internet" hasn't seemed to have caught on, or have tasted it and moved on to something else.

So, at 30,000 feet, despite all their work, something is not quite clicking.

Also implies that no one was doing anything at all.

It actually is kind of hard to make any progress fighting, especially single-handedly.

I was just a teenager but at least I resolved not to contribute more than a small fraction to the problem compared to average consumers.

Over a number of decades this has added up to conserving what amounts to more than a few lifetimes worth of waste.

Committing to a lifetime of alternative energy research was also a no-brainer for me.

I don't have my whole life ahead of me any more, but if I can deploy some nice bits of 20th century progress it would be worth more than the money I earned along the line improving my abilities. And the 21st century was potentially more advanced.

Interestingly, ERE was one of my employer's clients back in 1980 when I was pushing the state-of-the-art in CO2 gas analysis using early microprocessor-controlled instrumentation.

Just curious.
Not sure I understand the point of a 24-bit cpu. If 16b-wide registers don't cut it, the difference between 24 or 32 bit wide registers can't be that much in terms of transistors or cost, right?

You can have address lines for say, 20..24 bit wide memory (1MB & up), but still have a full 32 bit architecture internally.

Or (if lowest cost/power is desired) the other way around: a 16-bit cpu with >16 external address lines, handled by built in MMU.

On the R800: this is indeed a nice chip. ASCII developed it for the MSX Turbo-R, but (afaik) never bothered to put it on the market for use elsewhere. Don't think I've ever seen a datasheet of it, either.
They removed a lot of the capabilities of Squeak and most of the nice legacy code included for educational and historical purposes, and neutered the object inspection tools. I understand that Pharo is no longer Squeak and the whole idea was to simply take Squeak and change not just the UI but the actual language. But I'm just a Squeak person.
I generally consider myself very politically liberal but the idea of the government controlling all internet infrastructure is truly bone-chilling. At least with many ISPs owning the lines we have some semblance of possibility that government tampering with information would be noticed. If all traffic passed through a single entity’s control, we’re only a slippery slope away from the Great Firewall of USA. Probably justified by either preventing terrorism or CSAM.

I struggle to think of places that are more customer friendly overall than the US. There are certainly some companies with generally less favorable reputations like, say, Comcast but that's often a result of having a captive audience. One might even argue that our largest consumer oriented companies span so many different industries but all share good customer service and experience as a cornerstone.
> but being so extremely cynical of all content creation and public statements is 1) not healthy for your worldview, basically second cousin to tinfoil millinery and 2) simply not reflective of what most of us genuinely believe we are doing when we do it

Oh, for sure. Some people are genuine, they're just statistically less-likely to be the rich people and even less-likely to be the ones making effective investments. Fully disclosed, my experience in the VC world has taught me that most of these investors are categorical losers that can be understood simply by asking "cui bono?"

If a VC says something of particular value, you'll realize it by the inherent value of the statement. If a VC tells you to invest in a cryptocurrency, they are perversely twisting your motivations expressly for their own petty gain. Unless the situation otherwise indicates it (eg. they are fiscally invested in your success), the advice of a venture capitalist is better off used as leverage against their ego.

> VCs DO put their money where their mouth is

And when there's no money involved, I outright anticipate them to act for personal gain. Anyone who's been around the culture knows the difference between friendly banter and ghoulish "networking". There is no more salacious creature than a VC in the vicinity of a well-meaning person with credentials.

Ask HN: Roughly what % of your SaaS users is most active?

>But you can't just look at final price with a lower price being good. If some municipal service costs half the price but it costs taxpayers the other half, is that better?

Where, exactly, is that happening?

As I understand it, the vast majority of taxpayer monies for broadband doesn't go to municipally owned networks, but rather to private ISPs. And that's been the case for decades.

And those monies are given with a pinky-swear that this time, we'll actually spend the money on expanding broadband to under-served areas, with a similar likelihood that will happen as the last four or five times taxpayer monies were given to those folks.

Meanwhile, actual municipal broadband[0][1] pays for itself by charging multiple ISPs to access their last mile -- paying for the infrastructure and introducing (often for the first time) competition into the market.

What's more, nearly a third of states have laws[2] blocking/hindering municipal broadband. Most of which are related to model legislation promulgated by groups like ALEC[3]. Many of the artificial roadblocks put up by such laws make municipal broadband (both implicitly and explicitly[4]) more expensive than private broadband

Definitely and for chat.

BEAM/HiPE VM allows native linking using NIFs so it's possible to integrate Erlang or Elixir with C-compatible projects for critical code sections, library interfacing, and perhaps even the majority of a performance-critical game engine as native code. Rustler also exists to write NIFs in Rust. Recall how VMware ESXi core tech was implemented mostly as Linux kernel modules and heavily-modified Linux to turn it inside-out as a type-1 hypervisor.

Other countries with filtering regimes just obligate their private ISPs to block, eg, torrent trackers or Facebook or whoever. Governments have plenty of leverage over ISPs already, namely that ISPs have employees, addresses and hardware they can seize.

> Home prices have dropped 18% from the pandemic highs seen in May 2022, the most among the 50 largest US metro areas, Redfin data show. Even so, the city ranks as one of the least affordable housing markets.

One of the least affordable housing markets has prices drop 18%? That means demand is high and construction is outpacing. That's a huge positive.

The revenue cut for use of public streets is known as the "franchise fee." For the legacy cable companies, this was fixed by federal law in the 1980s at 5% of total revenue from cable television. For legacy phone companies, it varies by locality, but it's based on landline phone revenue.

There's a federal law from the 1990s banning any such taxes or fees from being charged on internet service, so cities don't collect anything based on that.
