You said,

> Ferromagnetism has nothing to do with currents

This is why I said ferromagnetism is circulating current in the sense of "to a first approximation" and "heuristically". Wiktionary defines "heuristic" to be:

> a practical method [...] not following or derived from any theory, or based on an advisedly oversimplified one.

I think that if you ask Feynman, he would probably agree or sympathize with the naive idea of "atomic currents" as a heuristic argument in the introduction of this topic... which is nothing new anyway, and has been a heuristic argument used in electromagnetism for a long time, at least before QM.

In Feynman's own words,

> These days, however, we know that the magnetization of materials comes from circulating currents within the atoms—either from the spinning electrons or from the motion of the electrons in the atom. It is therefore nicer from a physical point of view to describe things realistically in terms of the atomic currents [...] sometimes called “Ampèrian” currents, because Ampère first suggested that the magnetism of matter came from circulating atomic currents.

You said,

> Spin is a type of intrinsic angular momentum that is not associated with any spatial motion.

Yet the concept of spin in quantum mechanics was originally developed using macroscopic rotations as an analogy, although today we know that spin is an intrinsic property of subatomic particles (thus the joke, "Imagine a ball that is spinning, except it is not a ball and it is not spinning.") In the same sense that Ampère's concept of "atomic currents" was developed using circulating electric current as an analogy.

> The Feynman lecture you linked to is an explanation why currents fails to explain ferromagnetism. You need to read the next chapter.

Of course, "The actual microscopic current density in magnetized matter is, of course, very complicated." This is surely explained in the next chapter. I could've mentioned "atomic currents" without citing any link, but I included it to allow anyone who's interested to read the whole thing in context.

> but I like being able to use a system without having to do a ton of setup

i agree on this; i used to try to automate settings on macos but gaveup well over 10years ago as each os version changed plist files, and some settings only changeable via mouse-clicks; im sure there's been improvements nowadays but i wont hold my breath (just disable features i dispise now like notification-spam and auto-index/search "features")

the reason i use finder is finder is always open; apple+tab to it, then some hotkey to open Applications. if i can avoid the mouse (on the laptop) i will - although since mac keyboards are tiny they have been giving my hands cramps lately - so ive just slowed down a little lol.

launchpad: ive rarely used, typically disable its hot-corner thing too (i often prefer having layers of stacked windows vs "fresh desktops" or even tiling wm's)

ps nice handle lol

edit: i forgot to mention, i also use `open /Applicatons/bla` but going into Applications and seeing icon + list of names triggers some memory of why that app is there) - going to Applications is basically an edge case that happens rarely (use dock for terminal/browser) and thats about all i open
I learned the name "fronting" for it.

Still do it, too, when I happen on the occasion. Partly that's because it's no effort and it helps keep the store looking nice, because I shop there too, and because Giant management gives the people who work there more than enough problems already.

And partly it's because fronting shelves in passing, in the days when stocking and bagging were my summer job in high school, was what prompted the first compliment I ever had in my life that I knew I'd really earned. Leaving things to look like they're about to fall off a shelf isn't how you get told "you ain't no scrub," by a man who looks as if he's worked that store for five hundred years and has absolutely no reason to waste words he doesn't mean on a weird nerdy high school kid. So I do it right.
Strangely this is not affecting cars.

Tesla is perfectly boring and rational car, yet due saturation people are getting sick of same look and buying vastly inferior competition just to look different.

Even worse, having two identically looking houses next to each other is a nightmare for anyone on creative spectrum and pretty much illegal in most places.

But yes, blame smartphones.
Prior to Mendel, sex and gender were both based on primary sex characteristics. One could argue that's an even simpler model.
> I don't understand how housing can increase in cost in a stable steady manner

It's the density death spiral. Dense housing gets more expensive (yes, dense housing IS more expensive!), that in turn drives even more density.

The only way to fix it? Promote suburbs and smaller cities. There is literally _no_ other fix.
Edit: I didn't notice for a few days, but I mistyped my comment. It would say "I own the program". Instead it implies that I own the company. Sorry, finger syndrome.
Interesting. It seems most of these task target a very specific part of the brain that recognizes visual patterns. But that alone is cannot possibly be the only definition of intelligence.

What about Theory of Mind which talks about the problem of multiple agents in the real world acting together? Like driving a car cannot be done right now without oodles of data or any robot - human problem that requires the robot to model human's goals and intentions.

I think the problem is definition of general intelligence: Intelligence in the context of what? How much effort(kwh, $$ etc) is the human willing to amortize over the learning cycle of a machine to teach it what it needs to do and how that relates to a personally needed outcome( like build me a sandwich or construct a house)? Hopefully this should decrease over time.

I believe the answer is that the only intelligence that really matters is Human-AI cooperative intelligence and our goals and whether a machine understands them. The problems then need to be framed as optimization of a multi attribute goal with the attribute weights adjusted as one learns from the human.

I know a few labs working on this, one is in ASU(Kambhampati, Rao et. al) and possibly Google and now maybe open ai.
If you're looking around while you do it, that may more likely be why. And if you haven't tried making eye contact when you need something, you should.

Ask HN: Best way to do family video calls at home?
For the past couple of years, we've been talking to my parents in a different country via Facebook Portal TV. They have one in their home, and we have another one in ours. The smart camera is really nice, as we have two little kids and the auto-panning keeps the kids in frame even when they're playing around the living room.

Lately though, Facebook Portal has been failing more and more getting the calls to work, calls drop midway, microphone stops working, poor audio quality... and generally, Meta has stopped any development/support on this due to EOL.

Other than simply phones/Ipads/Laptops, are there any good devices that could replace our Portal TVs?

I get that everybody has a phone/ipad/laptop available these days, but I was surprised that I couldn't easily find any good video conferencing system for home use.

thanks!

> is an ultra simplistic formula

No shit. What gave it away, the two terms or the inequality? :)

Joking aside, it's simplistic because it's elementary. If real returns exceed real growth, ceteris paribus, you have a net flow of principal (so to speak) from labour to capital. That doesn't mean one can conclude the argument with those two variables alone. But it's a valid starting point, and concludes with many solutions other than increasing taxes to reduce r.
Maybe I am little confused but wouldn't you still need, at minimum, someone to like hold the phone up to the interviewee?
> yes, dense housing IS more expensive

Dense housing is more expensive. Dense living massively less so.
It's just generational theft at that point, you're taking resources that could be utilized by (some cultures would say belong to) future generations and instead have set up a structure that has the effect of letting the current generation drink the money away, not to mention the poor prospects of the future generations growing up in a system like that. I know Japan has a culture that believes that we are stewards of the land for the youth.

America lately has collectively decided to toss in their babies to fuel their furnace of war.
Lazygit creator interviews 'Uncle' Bob Martin
In this interview I had the chance to ask Bob many questions that had been stewing in my mind for a while, such as:
* Are there some domains where Object-oriented programming is better suited than functional programming?
* Is the Single Responsibility Principle supposed to be taken literally?
* Is the Dependency Inversion Principle still useful if you have fast compile times and it’s easy to test dependencies without injection
* Testing private methods: surely sometimes it’s okay
* Is 100% code coverage actually a good goal?
* How does Bob feel about programmers who just see their job as a job and aren’t passionate about it
* Is a call for professionalism just unproductive gatekeeping?
* Comparison as a thought leader to Martin Fowler
* Does AI threaten programmer jobs
* Will we have an AI singularity?

If any of the above questions have been or your mind too, you might find this interview valuable.
What's the go to rack mount inverter charger to go along with that? Asking for a friend...who only needs about 800 watts of capacity to act as the certified hacker version of a UPS. I've only done Victron stuff in the past, and those are not rackmount nor is there a 48V in 120V out model of less than 3000VA capacity.
Sure, but still quite a lot of conflict compared to now (my point about "relative"). Levels that I think people greatly underestimate. And those first 15 years were VERY bloody. (Napoleonic Wars was 1803-1815 for those that don't know and killed between 3.5m and 7m people)

But bloody European wars still include the Caucasian War, the First Carlist War (where 5% of the Spanish population died), Austro-Prussian, Franco-Prussian, the Third Carlist War, and Russo-Ottoman wars. Not to mention some very bloody revolutions: Greek, Hungarian, Italian, French (which cascaded), and so on.

I think it's also important to remember that Europe in 1800 had about 195 million people and rose to a bit over 400 million by the end of the century. Which should significantly influence how one thinks about the causality levels when considering today's >740 million.

Not to mention all the conflicts outside of Europe (many including European powers). The Dungan "Revolt" and Miao Rebellion were some of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. It was an especially bloody century for China.

I'm not sure I'd say that Congress of Vienna achieved lasting peace and I think we both know that either side of that argument can be argued. Especially on the distinction of how you consider peace (people killing one another or conflicts between nations?) and locality (conflicts between European powers on European soil or conflicts involving European powers outside Europe?). Either way, the body count is very high.

Independently, the Napoleonic Wars, (and outside Europe) Red Turban Rebellion, Mfecane, Miao Rebellion, Dungan Revolt, and Taping Rebellion have higher death tolls than all of the global conflicts since 2000[0]. These numbers aren't even normalized to population change[1]. So while maybe not as bloody (in Europe) as the 18th century, I'd still claim it was extremely bloody in the relative sense (which was my point)

I can relate to this. In 2017 I was traveling around Europe and planned to go to Chernobyl because a friend of mine really wanted to visit there. We ended up our trip short in Moscow, unfortunately, because Kyiv was hosting the UEFA Champions League Final and it was impossible to find any hotel room for less than the equivalent of $1000 USD/night. We had already arranged tours and everything. We considered finding accommodation when we got there, but then two days before we reached there, we still haven't had anything and we decided to cut our trip short. I really regret it! I hope I can go to Kyiv soon.
I don't see how that could possibly be true objectively, it's my impression that neither platform has any intrinsic hardware qualities that allow it to last longer, but with a Pixel I do have more control over how long I can keep it running if it doesn't succumb to irreparable physical damage.

Anecdotally, it's also my subtle impression that iPhone users are more inclined to update frequently regardless of how much longevity they could get out of it. I just buy my phone and keep it operational for as long as possible, only buying another if my current one is physically inoperable, and I feel like I'd get to that point more quickly with an iPhone, since parts are more expensive and not as readily available.

> since that sucks capital out of the rest of the economy, we're kind of fucked overall because companies making tinned peaches and medicine actually need capita

What's constraining the latter is rates. There is zero evidence tech companies are causing the inflation that is pushing up rates. (If anything, it's broadly deflating.)

(And to my knowledge, getting financing for tinning peaches or medicines is plentiful. It's called middle market finance, and while it doesn't make the headlines, it's huge.)

This is a serious mischaracterization of what Chomsky said. He didn't argue that Osama bin Laden didn't do 9/11, he argued that the American government denied him the right to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I mean, the language can look a little ugly sometimes but the beauty is in the tooling and the reliable programs you end up making with it.
I don't find that particularly interesting. My entire point was that it has essentially the same semantics as lisp, and this just demonstrates that. Also, I don't know a lot about Forth, but it would seem to be limited to 30 levels of brace nesting, even between functions. Unless I am mistaken, it requires a pointless increment and decrement of a variable before and after every function call. I also don't know if it would work in a threaded context. Aren't those just functions? If so, it wouldn't work in compiled code.

> So Carmack ... started reading research papers.

This in itself is a superpower, especially in computer science where history is considered a waste of time.

This is commonly even true in actual research computer science, where you'd think papers were crucial. Nowadays with the flood of "PR" preprints particularly in machine learning, it would be impossible to keep up and so nobody tries -- most of those papers write-once-read-never.

When I moved out of computing into biochemistry and medicine, and now into climate, I found people take papers seriously, which is a pleasure.
Yep, it's the first two paragraphs of this article "The judge presiding over Young Thug’s lengthy racketeering trial held the musician’s attorney in contempt on Monday after being confronted about a conversation reportedly held between himself, prosecutors and one of the state’s star witnesses.

Brian Steel was escorted out of the courtroom after refusing to tell Judge Ural Glanville how he learned of the meeting, which he said occurred in the judge’s chambers before court began. Glanville sentenced him to spend the next 10 weekends at the Fulton County Jail, totaling 20 days."
> Chomsky never argues that there wasn't any evidence of killings and seems to accurately describe Tolgraven's account

Yes it was an example of one of Chomsky's half-truths.

> I will have to read the book myself but looking at the references it does look like it has a "wide range of sources".

This was an example Chomsky lying by omission. There were, indeed, plenty of other sources for information in the book - for events prior to the Khmer Rouge coming to power.

> Just to be clear: You are saying that he fabricated citations? Can you tell me the specific ones?

Yes. He wrote, "Their scholarship collapses under the barest scrutiny. To cite a few cases, they state that among those evacuated from Phnom Penh, “virtually everybody saw the consequences of [summary executions] in the form of the corpses of men, women and children rapidly bloating and rotting in the hot sun,” citing, among others, J.J. Cazaux, who wrote, [...]. They also cite The New York Times, May 9, 1975, where Sydney Shanberg wrote [...]"

Neither Cazaux nor Shanberg were cited as evidence for the passage quoted. The book certainly cited Shanberg elsewhere, though in reference to early favorable views of the Khmer Rouge.

> I assume he's referring to the letter he describes himself in the subsequent paragraph from, "an economist and statistician for the Cambodian Government until March 1975" who "visited refugee camps in Thailand and kept in touch with Khmers" and who relayed conversations from a "European friend who cycled around Phnom Penh for many days after its fall" and who you misleadingly describe as merely "a reader".

This was an example of Chomsky dishonest borrowing of authority. The Economist does provide analysis "by highly qualified specialists who have studied the full range of evidence available."

This letter to the editor authored by a UN employee (mischaracterized by Chomsky as someone who worked for the Cambodian government) offered his "first impression" of an Economist article and contained personal estimates of civilian war deaths seemingly based on what he "felt" and some anecdotes.

That certainly wasn't written by one of the Economist's stable of highly qualified specialists who have studied the full range of evidence available - unlike the article the letter was responding to - an article that stated (correctly) that there were a million civilian deaths.

In an alternative reality where the Khmer Rouge were capitalists and an anti-Chomsky had written Distortions at Fourth Hand, there is little doubt that real Chomsky would have ripped it apart as American Imperialist propaganda. Sadly, neither he nor his apologists hold his writings to the standards he held others.
What problems did you have? As someone who's never in his life used musl before, I just now ran `rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` and then built ripgrep with `cargo build --release --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` and it worked without a problem. ldd confirms that it's statically linked. I'm surprised it was as painless as it was, I thought I'd have to install musl separately.
Mearsheimer "has" all the information; it just doesn't fit his preferred narrative ("The U.S needs to stop picking on Russia so they can team up together against China"), so he discards the parts get in the way of that narrative. Such as the long and deep history of Russia's colonial attitude toward Ukraine, for example.

As to a more realistic narrative -- it's a bit more nuanced than the formulation you suggest, but even so -- is pretty much obvious once we look at the things Putin and key people around him have been saying, along with the last 350 years of so of Russia's history vis-a-vis its neighbors and Belarus and Ukraine in particular.

The libwebsockets server (https://libwebsockets.org) supports serving directly from zip archives. Furthermore, if a URL is mapped to a compressed archive member, and assuming the browser can accept gzip-compressed files (as most can), then the compressed data is copied from archive over http to the browser, without de-compressing or conversion by the server. The server does a little bit of header fiddling but otherwise sends the raw bytes to the browser, which automatically decompresses it.
> all the tax affordances related to owning real estate vs. equities

The only ones I can think of are depreciation (analogous to capital loss harvesting), 1031 exchanges (loosely analogous to step-up basis; this is the biggest difference) and opportunity zones (analogous to QSBS).

If you borrow against your equities, you can deduct the interest paid on that. That mortgage-interest deductions are bigger is a function of the lending being federally guaranteed more than tax law.
