I remapped the UV coords based on the spherical projection of the mesh after subdividing, so there should be minimal distortion, especially compared the UV sphere. There is a slightly higher density of vertices where the edges of the cube used to be, but it's small compared to the UV sphere's extreme convergence at the poles.

Surely those people are also choosing not to have children, since the human population growth of this planet is what spurred the less ethical farms to exist as more economical, space-efficient ways to farm the fauna people had been farming for centuries? I also don't find the farms entirely ethical, based on the exposé media I'd seen of them. I just don't know what the alternative is, other than have products made partially with fossil fuels that break more frequently.
This is the same as agreeing with the premise for opposing unconstrained population expansion. "Leaving things alone for a while" is not consistent with continued large population increase we've seen in last hundred years.

The global population may be growing, but for developed countries where we get most of our news (I assume, at least I do), they're just starting to tip over into the shrinkage and dealing with the bulge of elderly people. The narrative is right for the political and economic interests that we hear from.

I imagine if we were consuming news from India, Egypt or Nigeria it would be a very different story.

I think it's unfortunate that the people who push violent extremist ideologies don't receive more pushback. These are people that believe in Leviticus 20:13. Some may say they reject Leviticus 20:13 but that must also mean they reject the alleged infallibility of the bible. Many Christians do not reject Leviticus 20:13 and other horrid passages. The "religious freedom" angle is wholly insincere and just an attempt to claw back some of the power they've lost. "Religious freedom" is sadly synonymous with "make it legal to discriminate against people again". This is also demonstrated by Christians trying to make exceptions in "religious freedom" to shut down groups they don't agree with. They tend go silent if you mention Leviticus 20:13 because they agree with Leviticus 20:13, they just don't want to reject it because of their "beliefs", and they don't want to tell you they agree with it because it makes them look bad.

Many of the replies in this thread that advocate for this ideology are attempting to make distinctions that don't exist (or are meaningless) to justify discrimination. Everything they've said can be applied to interracial marriage too but if you tell them that they go silent because they know they need to eliminate gay marriage first before they go after interracial marriage.

It's extremely gross and deceitful behaviour. I would prefer these people be sincere and just say they dislike gay people instead of incoherent and nonsensical arguments they make as a facade to hide their true intentions.

All of this is an act to move society back in their favour. "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile"

They, sadly, want a theocracy. They want to discriminate against LGBT+ people in the workplace. They want to refuse service to anyone they don't like the look of. They want to use Leviticus 20:13 again without repurcussions. They won't tell you to that because of optics. But Leviticus 20:13 exists in the bible, the book they use as a moral compass, the book they believe morality itself is codeified.

It's extremely difficult for any reasonable person to give any of this an ounce of good faith. It's literally arguing against people who want gay people slaughtered. There's not much discussion to have with such extremists.

It's useful to remember that Hanlon's razor is a joke that came from a joke book.

Project 2025 is what they want to lay the groundwork for all this horridness.

Religious extremism is abhorrent.
You are rationalizing some assumptions and making overly broad generalizations about “people” and what they believe. Some people ignoring evidence doesn’t mean everyone does. The temporary misguided academic debate over pain in babies was specifically about the displayed aversion to painful stimuli.

I do not buy that a significant number of people nor practicing pediatricians ever thought babies can’t feel pain. This claim that it was “widely believed” babies didn’t feel pain is a narrative that prioritizes the opinions of a few academics, who were wrong, above the opinions of parents globally.

The same is true of the abstract idea of drawing lines. If you say that people drew lines and it lead to abuse, and therefore it’s wild what “people” believe, you are talking about the abusers
who were wrong. The people on the other side of those lines didn’t have such wild beliefs, but the framing of your story is implicitly ignoring them. You’re choosing to focus on the “wild” beliefs of one group and make that the conclusion of your argument on human behavior. There’s another story you’re not telling where “people” did not have “wild” beliefs, and turned out to be right.

It’s not clear what “widely believed” means; what evidence there is for that claim, or who its referring to, or how many people it’s talking about. They don’t mention that it was widely believed by many others that babies do feel pain, nor how many of those people there were in comparison. Just because a few academics argued about it at conferences doesn’t mean it was actually believed by a significant number of real practicing doctors. Some academics have a very bad habit of thinking nothing exists outside of other recent academic papers they can reference in their own language.

BTW why does the Wikipedia link cite 1999? The paper arguing babies feel pain is from 1987. Digging further, the academic idea the babies didn’t feel pain seems to have originated in the 1940s with some academic papers that had methodology problems. So what about before that? If the assumption was babies did feel pain until then, summarizing this as being a belief that changed in 1999 is totally misleading. What about other countries? Was this temporarily incorrect belief about babies shared by doctors in Asia, Africa, and India?

Same here, except I use Quicken instead of a spreadsheet. The only accounts we keep separate are the ones where you literally cannot have a joint account, like IRAs. Everything else is joint--it simplifies so much. We don't have to worry about those "I can afford this, but you can only afford that, what do we do?" conversations. One joint checking account with a credit union that has physical branches, for cash in/out, one joint checking account with Schwab for the "normal" banking. We don't have a traditional savings account anymore--I just buy short term treasuries now which are currently paying over 5%. Single joint credit card, and we just make sure we have enough in the checking every month to pay it off, and that's it. Pretty simple setup.
> I use unexpressive languages like Go or Zig

See, I would not call Zig unexpressive. I've written a number of iteration structs in Zig, because it has true optionals this is easy, using them is just:

var iter = thing.iterateSomeWay();
while (iter.next()) |item| {
// do stuff
}

It's a low level language, yes, but an expressive one given that design constraint. Go just makes this stuff harder, because nil is just zero wearing a costume, an antipattern it inherited from C. In Zig every type can be nullable, and the compiler takes care of representing the null case distinctly from the load-bearing one.

Whataboutery has become increasingly common post-Patriot Act America, especially as surveillance technology improved in the smartphone, always-connected age.

Eventually it should be possible to get the expensive components secondhand at good prices. It would be cool if Framework started selling a bare-bones kit where you could add your own mainboard, screen, etc. That should be possible to do now by buying parts individually, but I don't think it would be a good experience (or cost-effective).

Framework does sell factory seconds for as low as $500 right now, though they need a few more components to be functional.

I appreciate your reading those past explanations (you're an existence proof that people sometimes do!) and I appreciate your thoughts. They aren't unreasonable, and it's not obvious what the optimum is, so I'm also just guessing.

I agree with you that the important thing is not to satisfy the litigious sort of internet user—the ones who take every explanation as fodder for fresh objections. It would be nice, of course, if they would take yes for an answer! and on rare occasions I've managed to pull it off, but it's hard, and ultimately too high a bar.

The important thing to satisfy the "rest of the community", as you put it. But the rest of the community seems to me already satisfied. Adding a new system like a moderation log wouldn't add to their satisfaction and might even diminish it.

I don't mean this in a complacent way! It has not always been the case that the "rest of the community" was more or less satisfied, and it took years to figure out how to get there. But we did figure it out (more or less), and the approach has been stable for a long time now. It boils down to this: we answer questions when people ask them, take their concerns seriously, and acknowledge and correct mistakes when we screw up. Because we do so much of this (I spend the bulk of my time doing it, many days), regular users eventually see repeated cases of it, and this lets them know that if they ever have a concern, a question, or just a curiosity, they can get an answer too.

This turned out to be by far the biggest factor in getting the HN system (community + mods + software) to be more self-regulating. What was lacking before that (mainly because pg didn't have time) was responsive, interactive moderation. It's important to understand that this is not a technical solution (like a moderation log). What makes things work better is human interaction, there's no substitute for that, and we're already doing quite a lot of it.

Cats are definitely conscious in my mind, but when I kick my cat at night she gets up and looks at me like I just beat her on purpose, then usually attacks my foot. I guess my cat is an asshole at night! Thankfully she’s cuddly and nice when I’m not disturbing her cat naps.
Just yesterday people downvoted me on HN for suggesting ChatGPT had the best ability to deduct things, because, according to down voters, it didn't have any.

But the "dumb parrot" narrative that was quite fitting on GPT2, and maybe still useful for understanding the foundation of the tech in GPT3, is now just a demonstration of ignorance.

We don't know what they are really doing. Nobody working outside of openai knows.

But if you use it long enough, it will be obvious we have passed the fancy completion phase, there is a little logic in there. Not a lot, but it makes all the results much better already.

And definitely much better than the competition.

Why would you not want this, a properly undervolted system loses no perf and gains lifespan and draws less power. Amortized over the now increased lifespan of the processor you could end up with hundreds of dollars of savings, especially in a laptop where a dead CPU or battery often results in a full system replacement. Undervolting is why my 4 year old HP laptop still gets 6 hours of battery life even with heavy mobile use every day.
the 30 dollar/mo offer is still on the table for me, as of a few months ago. Just go to cancel you should get 3 offers including the 30/mo offer.

it might be regional though (I'm US).
The article seems insightful on the surface but falls apart very quickly when you take time to analyze what the author is actually saying in each sentence. Pretty much every statement is a logically false or bad argument or, at least, requires a lot of supporting material to be convincing.

Take the following sentences for example.

> If people have enough autonomy to make locally smart decisions, then they can recover from friction more easily.

Having autonomy has no relationship to recovering from friction more easily. Any why would autonomy cause one to make locally smart decision? The person having the autonomy might be the one causing the friction in the first place and might also be the one making bad decisions.

> Friction compounds with itself: two setbacks are more than twice as bad as one setback. This is because most systems are at least somewhat resilient and can adjust itself around some problem, but that makes the next issue harder to deal with.

Why would being resilient to one type of problem cause not being resilient to another type of problem? And why would this cause the friction to compound itself?

Incidentally, ChatGPT does produce an equally (if not more) plausible article when I ask it to produce an article on software friction.
But there is a lot of modern research towards these questions. But more importantly: most of us see and feel and experience the challenges of inattention and screen time in our real lives. Do you not have those same experiences?

Analytic continuation > Applications: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_continuation#Applicat... :

> In practice, this [complex analytic continuation of arbitary ~wave functions] is often done by first establishing some functional equation on the small domain and then using this equation to extend the domain. Examples are the Riemann zeta function and the gamma function.

> The concept of a universal cover was first developed to define a natural domain for the analytic continuation of an analytic function. The idea of finding the maximal analytic continuation of a function in turn led to the development of the idea of Riemann surfaces.

> Analytic continuation is used in Riemannian manifolds, solutions of Einstein's [GR] equations. For example, the analytic continuation of Schwarzschild coordinates into Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates. [1]

But Schwarzschild's regular boundary does not appear to correlate to limited modern observations of such "Planc relics in the quantum foam"; which could have [stable flow through braided convergencies in an attractor system and/or] superfluidic vortical dynamics in a superhydrodynamic thoery. (Also note: Dirac sea (with no antimatter); Godel's dust solutions; Fedi's unified SQS (superfluid quantum space): "Fluid quantum gravity and relativity" with Bernoulli, Navier-Stokes, and Gross-Pitaevskii to model vortical dynamics)

Just wait. California is where they start this stuff. California was an amazing place to live not too long ago. Good schools, affordable housing, (so) no major homeless issues, one of the most innovative and productive places in the entire world.

But thanks to the policies we're now on our way down. Human degradation is the norm here in our cities. Take a walk through any of California's major city downtowns. They're broken. The suburbs can still sort of pretend it's all fine though.

Don't say California voted for this, because in fact California has voted against the worst of these policies when they had the chance, only to be overturned by judges. Prop 187, which excluded undocumented people from the public benefits system is a prime example. Californians, probably wisely, decided they didn't want to create an incentive system for undocumented persons to come, and federal courts overturned it. It was one of many moves that changed the face of California and led us into a general decline.

Now entire nations have taken to non-prosecution and even incentivization of extra-legal immigration that they have not proven ready to absorb, including the USA itself. UK is now experiencing some political turmoil around unrestricted immigration, as are many other European countries (note that unrestricted immigration is most harmful to marginalized communities including POC, LGTBQ, and women).

So if the UK isn't getting as many blackouts as California is now, you just give need to give it a little more time. /rant

> Framework didn't do anything.

I get your point, but there's simply no way this happened in a vacuum, at least not in this case. IMO it is far more important to acknowledge the things that Framework /did do/ in support of this project, even if a lot of that work simply came from properly publishing design specs, mechanical drawings, and other documentation. It's very encouraging to see Framework actively support and promote the 3rd party ecosystem around their products, designs, and specs.

In short: "Commoditize the complement."
A potential problem for the used market is that, as people upgrade individual components, they are left with used individual components, which are potentially harder to sell than an entire laptop. And as, so far, the major component upgrades have been of the mainboards, it seems like there could be a glut of those, while it seems possible that a used chassis may never be easily available.

As more component upgrades other than motherboards become available, however, it may be that a more useful used market could develop. And it may be that building a 'used' laptop may end up usually involving buying a few new parts. For example, having, over time, upgraded the top cover, hinges, mainboard, battery, wifi card, RAM, and SSD, if I upgrade the display and camera with the soon-to-be-available new modules, I think someone could build a full laptop with my old parts, a bottom cover kit, an input cover, and some fasteners; it may be that the bottom cover (and fasteners) are the only parts there that would need to be purchased new, as I expect other people have replaced input covers (some of my keycaps are starting to degrade, but they actually degrade rather gracefully)

But still, this would be more complex than simply buying a used laptop, and would need a marketplace for all of those parts. I know there was some discussion from Framework hoping someday to facilitate a used component market; that seems like it would be challenging, but on the other hand, Framework seems to have been steadily, actually pursuing the goals they have laid out.
