Also one does have to consider energy!
In Germany energy prices are currently at 0.328€/kWh from big providers, and considering a RTX 4080 has 320W alone an say 230W extra for the rest of the system + PSU inefficiencies - my M1 MacBook has way under 30W so the difference between these 2 is 520W.. what means that alone for energy consumption you need to game about 129 hours/month or 4.3/hours per day to break even ... _but_ this is before having to buy a 1300€ GPU, that one would have to replace every year to have the same as GFN.

But IMHO the biggest appeal to GFN in Germany is temperature.
In Germany there are no air conditioners in normal households and even in apartments with more then 2k a month rent there are none. So it is quite luxurious to game while not having 0.5kW blasting into your room.

This exactly, and that's also the best argument in favor of nuclear.
It is possible to send a singular satellite pretty much anywhere. It is not possible to build and maintain a Dyson Swarm. At the sizes of modern satellites you'll need trillions of those, which is completely unrealistic with Earth-side launches. This is before we get to doing them any actual dyson swarmy work: so far our probes are only good at communicating and observing.
It sounds a lot like like approved suppliers too, which is common in large orgs.

The world is full of dangers. AI danger has gotten some attention now - whether it turns out to be warranted beyond certain levels is still unclear.

While there has been some regulatory action it also feels there is some "moving on" from the more apocalyptic risk views towards more mundane risks and their management (i.e., more vanilla product and technology risk management).
It's governments vs corporations; the 500 million people aren't actually being represented in either camp. Being a subject is little better than being a consumer, and in some ways much worse.

I worked for a guy who made a fortune on an iOS app named "Ugly Meter".

Any difference in quality stems from the fact that Apple product users are more willing to pay for things. The free apps are equally bad in both stores.

Meanwhile Android allows for alternative stores like F-Droid, where you won't see the usual spam, as the apps are FOSS.

The GDPR is trivial to comply with: don't track (let alone process) personal data.
Excellent, another kind of copyright theft as a service that assumes your site is ripe for scraping unless you disallow yet another whackamole agent — FireCrawlAgent — that you won’t find out about until it’s too late. One tiny line in the README passing on responsibility to those who use this CTAS is the only nod to the idea that a site might not want to get ~sc~raped all while the specific agent string conveniently doesn’t appear in the docs and arming yourself against their presumption of default consent requires a search of the source code.
A lifetime non disparagement clause is not in any way "standard boilerplate."

Windows 11 is already up to build 10.0.xxxxx.xxxx so I would continue to expect it to be called W11 until a really major anti-reuse milestone is again anticipated.

Looks like the builds designated in "floating points" format are incrementing from 10 as they go along, while the integers like W10 and W11 are mainly incremented for consumer use, to insure undue growth, when it is decided that the consumers need to scrap absurd tonnages of otherwise fully functional electronics when enthusiastic new purchasing is not enough on its own.

What's kind of weirdly ironic about this is it's governments upkeeping a Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace. It's governments keeping vaster colossuses still from gobbling up our most personal devices & connectivities & keeping them bound forever. Apple has made itself sovereign king over a wide sector of cyberspace, and the governments have to play the part of tyrant smasher.

This is not how the DIS told it's story, but mercy heavens be do we need someone to prevent our closest tools from being bound forever against us. If that's governments so be it.
The EU commission and EU parliament are somewhat removed from public backlash, it's one of the reasons people complain about the EU being "undemocratic".

So the commission or random EU MEP would be affected after 5 years or so.

It is not even that. All you need is the program to present a “understandable” manifest of its requirements and you can choose to accept or deny. Standardized sandboxs just facilitate ease of use and analysis, and enable application developers to target easy-to-understand security models.

The problem with the post is that it assumes that the most important thing is making sure that all non-malicious programs run no matter how convoluted. It is the same thought process that makes people say nonsense like formal methods are impossible due to the halting problem. No, we can just reject unless you make it easy to analyze; halting problem averted.
To the contrary. Credit to India for standing up to the liberal fascist American empire that has spread misery and death over the past decades. It’s pay back time. Come and see.

Just so you know, it's a common practice in the US. As europeans, we are almost required to open LLCs in your states, do a joint venture with a local US company, and hire US persons to sell to US people.

It's a matter of fact that the EU is still more open to commerce from US, than the US is with the EU.
It's not at all surprising since Benjamin's tract was notoriously impenetrable, even to his original examiners, which resulted in his habilitation being rejected. Not to mention that the Origins of the German Trauerspiel only received an english translation in the 70s (and also in the past few years, as your link shows). I would expect someone of uncommon erudition to have read and understood that book, so it's not surprising that the author of the article doesn't mention it. Teaching Benjamin to the HN crowd is like teaching algebraic topology to MFA students, I applaud your effort but I don't think it will have much effect.

Melancholy was quite fashionable in early 17th century England, and many songs of John Dowland were heavily melancholic. This wasn't mentioned in the article, but since it is an extract from a longer book, maybe it appears elsewhere in the book.
How anonymous can it be? Sure, if you were dealing with a city-wide management company they can keep it somewhat anonymous but saying "John Smith, landlord at 123 Fake St" with the review on a set date is a pretty good indication of who left the review. Even for management companies it would not take a lot of investigation to find the reviewer.

The sad truth is that capturing lightning in a bottle is exceedingly rare, let alone twice or more. Cyan made at least 2 massive hits, which is 2 more than almost all game studios manage. Even their contemporaries Id Software didn't make that many more hits (Quake 3 was their last outright hit, releasing only 2 years after Riven).

There are almost no Bethesdas/Blizzards/etc that continue releasing hits for decades at a time.
Not necessarily, that's only if it's financed by bank accounts that continue being money themselves. If they're financed by large investors, it's not new money.

(it's money if its extremely liquid - the bank account holders can still do things with their invested money)
So offer tax deductions if they have a family, for each kid they have, if they pay rent etc. France is already doing that for individual enterprises. No need to give away cash or checks and people do have an incentive to actually work. And don't call it UBI when it's not.

> All were simply fund-managers monetizing other peoples misery

No, mortgage securitization simply provides a simple, consistent product that you can sell to investors. Securitization was created by the government, not by a banker.

It allows homeowners to access capital that they otherwise couldn't - it's a pretty limited pool of investors willing to buy individual, non-conforming mortgages.

If mortgages weren't securitized, then the government would need to provide the funds for all the mortgages - which means a lot less mortgages.

And I have no idea what "securitization" of healthcare and education means. It sounds like you learned a new word and just use it to replace "bad things I don't like".

Also imaging the marketing spin you'd have to create: No no, we can't do business in the EU do to it's consumer protection laws. China is fine, they just execute or forcefully re-educate people, much easier people to do business with.

What do you mean by garbage? Is it incorrect in any way? As I stated, I used ChatGPT because I tried and failed to find the original sources. I checked all the information myself, and searched google groups and the wayback machine for the original sources, and linked to what I could find (like the suck.com Net.Mogul cards), but I don't have all the usenet and email archives any more.

Can you please constructively suggest some better citations that have the same information instead of just complaining? Or should I just leave out all that relevant information, even though I checked ChatGPT's results against what I know from being there at the time? Or would you rather I just not disclose that I used ChatGPT to write the comment, so as not to trigger you?

Edit: Gumby: then that's what he should have said. But I'm responding to what he did actually say. Were all the facts correct, according to your memory? And can you cite a better source with the same information? I'd be grateful and glad to rewrite the comment to point to that, then.
Apple and Google are not the same thing.

Google is a ponzi scheme propped up by trapping everyone in a War for finite Attention. They tell content creators/advertisers+marketers(corporations that pay)/politicians we can get you eyeballs, no matter how much content explodes, not matter how many people are competing for finite attention. Its basically Fraud. People will work it out in their own sweet time cause its the largest ponzi scheme of all time. (Google subprime attention crisis)

Apple benefits from the Attention War just like anyone who has more cash benefits, cause they can outspend anyone to capture Attention.
Sadly the headline implies that she didn’t get into rocket science because she’s a girl, but then the article goes on to make it clear that the main thing that kept her from rocket science was her father being Mormon && her being a girl.

While all the women quoted within would absolutely have had systemic gradients acting against their access to STEM careers outside the LDS church, within it those gradients are nearly vertical, and are so by founder effect design and persistent and careful maintenance.
It's a (minor) necessary evil that gives useful information. Almost no-one spoofs their user agent. I use this to pin down problems on the user side. Our users have all kinds of weird devices (e.g. browsing with a PlayStation) and it can be hard to find where things go wrong. There was a case where we lost more users than usual, and it turned out to be something very subtle related to tab switching in Safari. Without the user agent, we would never have found out.

Or work for a L-MCOL based company in a L-MCOL area. For software, I know of at least one local company in my area that pays 185k/year at senior level and 90k for SDE1. I do happen to work for a remote company right now, but software is the more important factor there. I am high earning in a low CoL area now, though that wasn't luck. That was intentional.

Of course not everyone can do software, so I pointed to something like electrical work with lower barriers to entry (and which is obviously local). The local program I'm looking at says a residential apprenticeship is 4000 on-the-job hours and commercial is 8000, so 2-4 years assuming 40 hours/week. Same as going to college, except you get paid during that time, starting at 33k and 38k respectively and increasing during the apprenticeship. If you lived with family and kept expenses low, that could easily represent $100k saved when others are graduating from school.

Obviously not everyone can be an electrician either, but for example public school teachers here make 60k after 3 years of experience, going up by about 2k with each YOE. I'm sure there are other similar "normal" jobs that people would think of as middle class where it's doable.

I don't know how many people have a support network. Certainly we should be shaming parents if they won't help their kids once they turn 18. Especially if the kid is on a responsible path and starting a career, and just wants to save before leaving home.

Anyway, point is it's not that unattainable to be a single income household if it's important to you. Obviously it's easy for me, but the stats show it's not that rare:

https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/womens-databook/2021/home.h...

Married, spouse present women overall have a 74.5% labor force participation when they have children 6-17 and 65.4% when they have children under 6. i.e. 25.5% and 34.6% stay at home, respectively. Married, spouse present hispanic women have 36.8% and 47.5% respective homemaker rates. I doubt it's because they're all making 1.5x median. They just place a high priority on family. For some people, staying at home is even the economically optimal arrangement, and they can't afford to have a second income.

Not only is the GDPR not difficult to comply with (just use only the personal data you need to provide your service - and don’t share it with others), it’s also nothing new: it’s just a bunch of previously existing privacy laws bundled together.

Not all those laws applied to all EU countries before, but, basically, if you were doing business across the entire EU all the laws that you had to conform to together looked a lot like the GDPR.
I think it’s much more likely that China sees this as “Apple refuses to bend to local laws”, and in turn kick them out. Remember, China has its own online universe and Apple is just desperately trying to be part of it.

It's not that hard for any competent organization: document what PII you store, who has access to it, and what you do with it. Also have an internal procedure to scramble someone's PII on request.

If you have a direct or indirect contractual relationship with the person whose PII you are storing, there is nothing more to do. If you don't, ask for permission and store the timestamp of the authorization.

That's all. Really it's that simple.
> Either the risk-mitigator 'falls in line' after repeatedly seeing their increasingly strident exhortations are falling on deaf ears (or even outright contradicted)... or they leave because it violates their sense of ethics.

Or both continue to work together in a healthy, never ending discussion, that has temporary victories on both sides and ultimately benefits all, because nothing happens and the company strives.
> It is not even that. All you need is the program to present a “understandable” manifest of its requirements and you can choose to accept or deny.

Sure. And if these understandable manifests contain requests only from a predefined set that the system provides, we call these requests "permissions" in the iOS and Android sense. You don't get to request arbitrary things and ask the user to approve them.

> The problem with the post is that it assumes that the most important thing is making sure that all non-malicious programs run no matter how convoluted

Agreed.

> No, we can just reject unless you make it easy to analyze; halting problem averted

Yes, and it's this idea that makes minimalism essential in OS design. The narrower your contract, the more flexibility you have to change your implementation.

> I don't know what to do if another change interrupts the first but it's a rare case and can probably be handled imperfectly.

Extract the position (p0) and velocity (v0) vectors at the moment of interruption, and derive a new function F(t) that meets the constraints {F(0)=p0, F'(0)=v0, F(1)=p1, F'(1)=0}.

> The energy consumption would not be a problem if it was renewable energy.

This is not the case. As long as electricity is fungible on the grid, and there's some fossil electricity production close enough for transmission, changes in renewable electricity use mean increases/decreases in fossil electricity use at the margin.

It's generally only after having arrived at nihilism that they can begin to make progress, so that's a positive entry in my books.
I understood the other poster correctly. This view of mathematics is as limiting and ignorant as the other poster’s.

The entire field of theoretical computer science, to which functional programming and type theory is closely tied, is a branch of mathematics. The Church-Turing thesis which gives both to our field equates the two at a very fundamental level. Questions about type theory, programming language design, and programmer ergonomics are fundamentally about math and applied math.

Maybe you and the other poster have in mind specific fields of math, but then you need to make claims for why those fields are sufficiently different as to be exempt from applicability of any of the advances in notation observed in other fields.

Your implicit assumption that you can divide computer science into a different bucket from “real math” is incorrect, and gatekeeping.

As I said though, I don’t think this is a profitable debate to have here on HN.
> it also feels there is some "moving on" from the more apocalyptic risk views towards more mundane risks and their management (i.e., more vanilla product and technology risk management).

No surprise, when the public reception to AI x-risk was mostly, "big tech scaremonging / regulatory capture; why not focus on Real AI Dangers Right Now, like bias or offensive language". Seemingly refocusing on the mundane may be the only way now to do something about the apocalyptic.
