I am leading an academic research group with a site-wide Symbolica license.

Because Symbolica is in early development and the work of a single person for now, one great benefit for us is the dedicated attention we receive.
Any bug or feature we're particularly interested in gets immediate attention.

And despite the product being licensed, Symbolica's source-available nature gives us full confidence in the author's long-term intent.
We therefore trust that accepting Symbolica as a dependency of the framework we are building will never constitute a point of failure.

Supporting Symbolica's nascent effort and having a direct line of contact with its single author also means it is easy to discuss particular arrangements specific to our use case, such as end-user license requirements.
Those are extremely recent ancestors, from less than ten thousand years ago. Moreover they were located in a place (the Andean highlands) where it is likely that there were not enough animals to allow them to sustain themselves by hunting.

Our ancestors have shifted to a diet with a large percentage of animal fat and meat, which has lead to a simplification of our digestive system, for more than a million years.

Only during a little more than the last ten thousand years there has been a reverse shift towards a lower percentage of animal food, most likely after we had exterminated most suitable wild animals, which forced us to become creative and discover agriculture, otherwise we might have become extinct, like our prey.

Now, with our reduced digestive system, we could not live eating the kind of plants eaten by a gorilla or even by a chimpanzee. We need much more nutritious food, which can be provided only by plant seeds, the only parts of plants that are rich in proteins.

>extract oil more efficiently in the sense that they just produce more externalities faster

You need fossil fuels to get off of fossil fuels, you need regulation, the entire planet working on this, etc. Making the process LESS efficient is not going to help at any point. Let's start blowing up the equipment used to dig coal out of the ground so we can go back to doing it by hand like in the early 1900s, and let's start unscrewing the bolts in the machines at the factories, let's all quit at CAT and never build another digger...

> It's pretty clear that I was questioning your citation for "needs".

It wasn't clear at all actually. You were being quite combative and condescending. Now you are lecturing me about what's appropriate on HN.

It would be needlessly tedious to prefix every single opinion with "In my opinion". And opinions don't need citations.

> You're mixing two very different categories of thing here

They aren't 2 categories. If I purchase thing, I can use thing or I can sell or transfer thing to someone else. If I don't have thing, I cannot. It's a pretty simple concept.

This works with owned physical media, but not with "licensed" digital media. It's clearly a "negative consequence" of going digital. Your claim about things being hunky-dory with Steam and co was just as absent of citations as any of my comments. That negative consequence may not matter to you but you also don't get to deny that others can consider it a loss. We both have our opinions. I acknowledge yours, and it annoys me to see you handwave away mine as "not a real problem".

> ... because you've already consumed the product

Again, not a problem with physical media. I can play the game for as many hours as I like and still sell it or give it away.

> Because ownership doesn't give you the unilateral ability to do whatever you want with something...

Except I didn't say "whatever you want", I quite clearly said "resell or lend". I award you a debate point for pointing out the legal exceptions to right of resale. Since digital media isn't uranium (or weapons, or pharmaceutical products, certain chemicals, whatever else has further resale restrictions) that isn't pertinent to the discussion.

> Similarly, it's legal to buy and own a physical book, as long as you don't distribute photocopies of it

I can resell the original book. The photocopies are a new thing which I rightly can't resell. This is merely a restatement of copyright law.
I've moved to a meat buying strategy of "only buy meat if you've met the farmer".

I don't object to eating meat, but so much of the industrial meat production world is a nightmare. From disease risk, to abuse of animals, to slash and burn, to waste.

By buying meat from a local farmer, you can eliminate a lot of that. You end up eating less meat, probably, but we buy a whole cow every few years and divvy it up between friends. You could do that more or less often if you still wanted to eat a lot of meat.
They die all the time. It's a problem. :P

Good example of data engineering/MLops for people who aren't familiar.

I'd suggest using HDBScan to generate hierarchical clusters for the points, then use a model to generate names for interior clusters. That'll make it easy to explore topics out to the leaves, as you can just pop up refinements based on the connectivity to the current node using the summary names.

The groups need more distinct coloring, which I think having clusters could help with. The individual article text size should depend on how important or relevant the article is, either in general or based on the current search. If you had more interior cluster summaries that'd also help cut down on some of the text clutter, as you could replace multiple posts with a group summary until more zoomed in.

Hypothetical TSMC invasion 'absolutely devastating' says Raimondo
Calling WASM from VS Code has been possible for a few years: https://john-millikin.com/extending-vscode-with-webassembly

The news-worthy part of the link seems to be WASI support -- instead of coding against a C-style API with low-level primitives (shared memory), WASI enables higher-level bindings to be synthesized at runtime from WIT IDL.

Not sure I'd want to be building extensions against a v0.2 of a web specification, though. That's a pretty fast-moving target. It would be more reasonable once WASI has stabilized the FFI layer (maybe by reducing time spent on the pseudo-posix stuff).
Yeah, awful horrendous things like, "companies and universities should treat applicants without regard to protected characteristics like race, gender, and religion." Truly heinous.
> But for years, the company has also furnished fossil fuel giants with cloud computing services and specialized software tools powered by machine learning and AI in order to streamline and automate their operations.

In other words, some low-level engineer at BP signed up for Azure and provisioned a few VMs with GPUs. Let's say MS did ban an entire industry from using their products... wouldn't that engineer just switch to AWS and use EC2 instances instead? Or is the argument that every cloud company should independently decide not to serve this particular industry? If that's true, why are we pressuring private companies at all? Wouldn't it be more effective for the government to sanction these forbidden companies, instead of relying on so many independent profit-motivated companies to voluntarily lower their profits?
> We had weekly meetings with them on progress - which are now twice-weekly (because that will speed things up.)

I've been on more than one project with delays. Delays make management nervous. I understand that, but having more meetings about it will never make things go faster.

Having a half-hour check-in with the PM every day so that they can "provide me with support and give me what I need to get the project back on track" is not helpful. There is nothing they can give me that I need other than fewer meetings. There are no obstacles but time, and the only reason that is an obstacle is because upper management insisted on an unrealistic timeline to begin with.
I perfectly understand it. The reality is that the USA has quite an large middle class. It's not just the ultra wealthy that have privileges, due to housing.

While I don't understand everyone's financial situation, in the USA a TON of people own homes. It's not just them, but some of their friends and family influenced by

In the USA, owning a home is considered a status symbol and a sign of competency. The culture is such bullshit. I've seen so many people buy a home and suddenly turn into scrooges. It creeps me out.

It's gotten to the point that I've just figured: "Buying a home and starting a family turn you into a bad person." I'm sick of watching people change and treat their homes as proof of their value in society.

I was reading something about oxytocin ("the love chemical") being tied to racism. I'm not at all surprised by this anymore. Especially when you see how much "bonding" can be tied to territorialism and selfishness. When it's "us against the world", that's a big fuck you to the whole entire world.

> There is a good argument to be made that in the West we should eat less meat, but that doesn't mean removing it completely: it is harder to make a balanced vegan diet, so for most people that would mean a less healthy outcome that just eating a moderate amount of meat.

You're making something of a jump there - not eating meat equates to a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet. One can argue about the merits of a vegan diet over a vegetarian one, but a vegetarian, non-vegan diet is already a big step up over a meat-heavy one, and a vegetarian diet including eggs and dairy doesn't really have any challenges in being balanced/healthy compared to a moderate-meat diet.
Given that porn is a fantasy anyway, I’m not really sure it matters much. People will consume a fantasy.
Imho the UUID format is a hopeless cause anyways. You don't want to waste any bits in a 128bit identifier on version metadata, UUID uses 4. With the birthday paradox that effectively decreases the collision resistance by a factor of 4. (2^64 vs. 2^62 elements for a collision probability of 0.5)

We all live in the harmful society already right? I’m not aware of where to find this harmless society.

Suffering of finite beings is inevitable. While a very worthwhile goal, creating a harmless civilization isn’t possible. There are some common sense things we should do to prevent harm like negative consequences (prison etc) for needlessly harming each other. However, locking up knowledge doesn’t make much sense to me.

I’d rather explore the bounds of this world than mindlessly collect my drip of Soma and live comatose. To me that sounds more harmful.
Such a great series, and so well-done. I grew up in the heart of Appalachia and am forever grateful to the authors and editors for capturing/preserving so much content and knowledge that would otherwise be lost over generations.
That doesn't make any sense. What makes hunting any more natural than agriculture? Isn't exerting control over our environment one of the defining characteristics of humanity?
I quoted the page that was likely relevant to the topic at hand, and it looks like a perfectly good list of natural health interventions that are more likely to help than not.

Look, we're not going to get anywhere with this, you're with "trust the science" (= trust the establishment), I'm with researching things yourself, experimenting, and making your own opinion. The big difference here is there is a chance these interventions will work, whereas not doing anything is guaranteed not to.

Worth noting that they did release the AlphaFold 2 weights after a while. Milking an expensive discovery for a limited period should be considered laudable, unless you think tax funding of all research would be awesome and it's just a weird anomaly how the org producing these results was a tiny heterodox startup very recently.

If I have to use the stainless steel umbrella x6 just for it to be equal to the garbage-tier plastic umbrella, then I will landfill six of the plastic umbrellas. I know it's meant to be recyclable, and I will dutifully put it in the recycle bin, but then my city government will contract it out to some outfit that picks through to find some token recyclables and sends the rest to landfill anyway.

So, out of 100 uses of the durable umbrella, or 100 uses of the garbage umbrellas (across six of those), which is a more pleasant experience? Am I wrong to think that it's the obvious one? The umbrella that doesn't flex in the wind like it's going to snap off? The one that doesn't feel slimy for the three days it'll take to dry, the one in fact that won't take that long to dry? The one that doesn't accumulate grime but if it did could easily be wiped off and then be as clean as the day it was bought new? How often does thermoset plastic get a bad mix and end up being a little more brittle than usual? How often does the injection mold not fill completely, but it sails past QA, and so the umbrella handle will snap off when there's a gust... and with my luck when I'm halfway between the car and the building? If someone had a toddler chewing on it, or a dog, which holds up better? The worst you can say about the stainless steel is that it might prompt a trip to the dentist.

For anything that I'll use throughout my life, I think I prefer the "durable", unless it's just impossible from an engineering standpoint or is cost-prohibitive.

These are people in said society operating on another part of the whole. They are not idly "blaming", they are attempting to directly increase the cost function to reduce the extraction.

Obviously you disagree with them taking action ("the average American" has to spontaneously demand 3x prices for resistance to be legitimate), but that has nothing to do with a lack of critical thinking ability in your political foes.
Yes. Because that person is no longer physically at risk. Now whether they consent to their image being used is a different type of exploitations that needs to be addressed. Both can be true. As I put it is correct.
> In that context, this is vendor’s responsibility to constantly increase the bar and with the use of all available technological means.

Or the vendor could just let me consume the content I paid for in whatever player I like. Which is what happens anyway, as this sort of DRM is always breakable. If the media consumer can view the content at all, they can simply record that output and re-encode in a more convenient storage format.

Reliability to the degree that medical devices need to be when you're sharecropping on someone else's shifting-sand platform is a game I'm glad I'm not paid to play. It in no way excuses the bad behavior, they chose to go this route and committed to the work it would take, but the results of the such certification would be outdated by the time you finish it.

I think a "sacrificial device" is the right way to make reliable the unreliable parts. Big battery for running the pump, small battery for the smart device connection. If something happens and you drain the auxiliary device it's annoying but not life critical. Your phone and pump can both alert you indicator light/notification that the auxiliary device died.

> This is fun and all, but if you lose your connection, your windows will go away and your program will usually exit.

Interestingly, that is xlib's behavior moreso than inherent in the protocol. xlib assumes connection lost is a fatal event, but if you're doing your own socket, you can choose to do this differently. (or, even with xlib, you can throw an exception from the connection lost callback and regain control before letting it abort)

Some server state is lost, but it is possible, with some care, to recreate that from your client upon reconnecting. You can even connect to a different server and somewhat seamlessly migrate windows over.

But yeah it isn't commonly done.
> if only the company had an interest in doing so.

The criminals who do the deliveries also "have an interest" in stopping it (threat of prosecution). This is a complete rehash of the gun control argument: Whether you believe people who commit crimes are responsible for their actions or if the blame should be shifted to corporations or the ever-overused scapegoat "society".

What's sad is that ultimately the prisoners are going to suffer with less yard time. In my state, they had a couple fentanyl laced letters, so they blocked all prisoners from receiving letters (they get a photocopy). I believe that applied to pictures too. They got rid of all in person visits and replaced them with video calls, either blaming covid or staff shortages.

The testing is NOT skipped. This is a misunderstanding of 510(k).

The device still has to go through testing, validation and verification. It is a very detailed process and follows IEC spec. The device also needs IEC 60601 testing by a third party lab. In this case at least 60601-2-24.

The 510(k) means it is not doing something new therapeutically therefore it doesn't need to go through PMA process which so much longer and more complex. In this instance they're saying a pump that uses electronics to monitor and deliver glucose already exists. Our device does the same thing therapeutically but we do it differently and here is all out docs showing the device is safe.

If they came up with a magical patch that used quantum chemtrail energy to align the shakras and thereby affect the patient's insulin levels, then they would need to go through PMA and show the therapy is safe and works in small clinical trials followed by larger trials before they can make a device that can be marketed.
