I guess you are in some category yourself because you seemingly haven't read the large amount of literature about a global shamanistic culture, and archaeologically there is plenty of evidence that divination came before games.

Its natural, because games based on chance give us the feeling of being "hot" or "cold" ie able or unable to predict entropy.

MMI is a burgeoning science but if you're curious there is a group out there with access to QRNGs that practice influencing probabilities. And there is a small, but measurable effect size. And even not so small in some experiments I have personally seen, but being funded by Rockefellers means keeping your nose pointed away from the control grid.
no, nothing like this has ever happened before in recorded history. probably that's fortunate

i mean people have elected all kinds of madmen as heads of state, so that's not the unprecedented part. but i don't think any country has ever elected a minarchist as a head of state. two weeks ago he gave a speech at a cato forum here describing the state he now heads as by nature a violent and criminal organization. he may be right about that, but generally believing such things makes you unelectable

we are in uncharted waters. this is going to be exciting!

They said it seemed strange OpenAI contacted Johansson when they did. I countered this assumption.

I believe an unreleased Scarlett Johansson voice model would not infringe her publicity rights. Do you disagree?
There's no economic motivation to compete. The motivation is to raise prices slightly, wait for the other two companies to follow suit as a signal, then to raise prices again. If you raise and someone doesn't follow, backtrack to the previous level. This is assuming that they don't just have a meeting and set prices over drinks.

Industrial Macros
These are still relevant even in modern Java or C# or C++. Just because the language can express things in a more modern way doesn't mean you always will. Or should. Or can.

And I agree that it's a historically informed perspective. But guess how much code is modern code versus historic^W legacy code. Nobody is arguing (well, at least I'm not) it's a foundation of CS. Nor is any reasonable person arguing it's a normative prescription - see the comment about "not a recipe book".

It's the equivalent of a dictionary/thesaurus for a writer - necessary, but not world-changing. Always has been. Still is.
Maybe you're joking, but they certainly do. They'll happily use them against individuals too.

But against a large company? I'll believe it when I see it.

Except for trivial examples, all real development needs to be undertaken iteratively. Design a bit, build a bit, rework both based on what you found out. Unfortunately most people - and definitely most organisations - don't want to rework anything as it sounds like a waste of time/money rather than an essential step to take working code and turn it into production code. So instead they look for silver bullets. "If you just do the steps in this order..."
> Nuclear is a legacy technology which is on the way out.

What do you mean by "legacy technology"?

> German society didn't want to be stuck with it and footing a tremendous bill for subsidizing and later dismantling the technology in the end.

Renewables have received 120 billion in subsidies last year.

Germany probably paid much more dearly for the closure of plants that could have operated for another decades.

> Pretty much all industrialized countries with the exception of China is going in the same direction.

Or they do wishful thinking on renewables. It depends on the point of view in the end.

I’m hoping for an alternative to a phone that I can avoid getting sucked in, can be left around to be used by multiple people, and can complete common basic tasks like ordering dinner or maybe something fancier.

It was fairly clear to me that this is a very, very early product and space. Time/abilities will help refine it for its purpose. The small screen, mic, and camera I thought was a good enough start at a low price point to see what a dedicated machine could be. There’s a whole lot more they can do from here.

I think you're too optimistic. My reading is that the police is investigating low-level employees and subcontractors. I.e., profit for the corporation, consequence for the employees. And especially subcontractors. (Workplace discrimination against subcontractors has been a hot topic in Korea: subcontractors literally die in factories because they're pushed to handle dangerous tasks while "regular employees" get cushy desk jobs.)

i hadn't actually considered machining it out of an aluminum billet. you might be right that it would be adequately stiff, even if it's much less stiff than glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy. it's much heavier than epoxy, but only slightly heavier than glass, and of course most of its grades are enormously less brittle
Who's "we"? This was about a private Lutheran school. It's ridiculous of course, but if you sign up for a private school, you have to put up with whatever ridiculous BS they want to push on you, no matter how medieval. My question is: why are these people sending their kids to this shitty school? This is the whole reason public education exists.
This is such a nice and straightforward result. Encode the vertex ID's using locality-preserving integers, and then store the deltas between the ID's instead of the ID's themselves.

Saying "we need to keep these logs for 30 days to allow us to troubleshoot problems. We can't reasonably delete them sooner, but they get deleted after 30 days" is a valid way to comply. You have a justifiable reason to keep them, the interval is reasonably short, and you have good technical reasons not to do it faster.

If your internal compliance people don't like it you can also rephrase it as "we are removing the data starting right now, the procedure takes 30 days". You have one month to even respond to removal requests, and can stretch that by another two. As long as you are not intentionally causing delays these are perfectly reasonable time frames.

Of course you still have to do all the other stuff for GDPR compliance, like making sure you have rules who gets access to the log system instead of just giving it to the entire company, making sure you store to an encrypted drive, etc.

How stupid, ignorant, and bigoted. Still, I mostly fault the parents for not paying closer attention before deciding to send their kids to these private schools. It's fairly vile that anyone would build an ostensibly educational organization on reservation land with a belief that tribal religion is "satanic" in nature, but the parents chose to send them to this school - There's a large dose of "Caveat Emptor" and a smaller dose of "Sue them for fraud" depending on how much they were paying attention before sending their kids there.

I was lucky enough to go to this in 2019 (thanks Gary for organizing Deconstruct right at the moment in my life where I could make the trip!), and honestly it was _so motivating_.

There's obviously some nostalgia, but seeing a bunch of machines with self-contained tooling and in working order, that you could goof around in with people around you was so satisfying.

I get the complications of running all of that stack, but a part of me would be hopeful for some systemic reproductions of some environments. Something like a "mini Windows 98" with 10 games or so and that copy of QBASIC and some VB.
Well, no, it states quite clearly that the actual driver was ensuring UFC profits and the "communism" fears were just the window dressing.

The UFC also began a public relations campaign to discredit the Guatemalan government, hiring Edward Bernays, who mounted a concerted misinformation campaign for several years which portrayed the company as the victim of a "communist" Guatemalan government.

They have such weird constraints. Even Coupang Play refuses to load their video when I'm on Linux, which makes no sense at all.
a very slight uptick in % housed for those who got the money in a lump sum might make sense: it's enough for first month rent + deposit.

other than that, agree. sure looks like no real effect. i wonder what % housed would be after a year for people who didn't even get $50/month? it's probably also the same. for the reasons you state.
There'd probably be a fairly strong seeding effect though.

And HN is anything but a random sample people from a given country; to be part of the tech scene you kinda have to take an interest in what is happening in the US and it certainly pays to be pro-SV since historically they provided a lot of well paid jobs. That'd be a huge bias in opinion.
We needed a state machine to manage app startup in Ardour, and initially (since we're using C++) we used a boost library for this.

It was pretty cool - you just create a text based table describing state transitions and various methods that execute before, after and as a result of the transition, and it generates all the code for you. It was very, very quick to get things basically working with this template library.

But then ... we had to start dealing with corner cases and some fiddly little details of precisely how this FSM was supposed to work.

We still have the table in a comment in the code, because it's probably one of the easiest things to read to understand the FSM, but the implementation is now just the usual C/C++ nested switch statements.
One pattern for long running channels is to have another polling / heartbeat channel on the goroutine. This is often redundant as you can achieve the basic functionality with contexts, but it can be useful when you need to implement some reporting, or you need to implement more advanced load balancing or back off strategies.
I agree. I recently tried to do something in MS Office that was fairly simple in Pages: create a straightforward invoice.

I discovered that Word doesn’t even support formulae in its tables, which came as a great surprise. Apparently I needed to do this in Excel, which of course meant that the whole document needed to be written as fixed-width cells. This totally sucked for my use case.
that's a good point; i was thinking of single-output expressions, where i think always evaluating the deepest subtree first limits your space usage to worst-case logarithmic?
The problem here (IMHO) is using Wordpress to serve a blog.

It's the only way I've found to explain it that actually holds up to scrutiny. That's not to say it's correct, just that it's the best I've found.

Apple Vision Pro is unbelievably good at figuring out what you’re looking at, seamlessly adjusting for eye saccades and a host of other weird things our bodies do. I imagine the tech will eventually get shrunk down.

I think the question is: what’s hardest of the following:

* Knowing what you’re looking or pointing at

* Getting you private audio

* Getting you public video

* Getting you private video

And we’ll get hardware constraints based on that list. It seems to me like private video is hardest in hardware without glasses, but public video might be harder in terms of capex - e.g. we need different materials in our spaces, or a lot of projectors, or … Anyway fun to speculate about all this.

I think CMoA acquired the contents of David Larsen’s museum in Floyd, VA. Larsen was one of the authors of the Bugbook series and the museum was kind of a snapshot of the mid to late 70’s micro scene. I’m glad the Apple I didn’t end up in a Goodwill bin somewhere.
I feel this will be very subjective of course. The biggest thing I have found I can do for a full rest (not length but quality) is no screens at all after 8pm and no lights except candle light after 930pm, coupled with reading by candle light. Melatonin does help me occasionally but it's hit or miss. Reading instead of watching or listening seems to be the biggest help. I guess different parts of my brain fires during that activity than normal.

California could invade Texas for violating the “right to abortion.” Texas could invade California for violating the “right to life.” The US could invade Afghanistan for violating “women’s right to an education.” That doesn’t mean “human rights” exist. It just means that one society can impose its moral preferences on another through military force. “Human rights” just rhymes with “exercise of power.”

The thing is it's not the citizens of a State choosing the POTUS, it's the citizens of a State choosing which candidate their State will choose for POTUS.

Remember, the US is a federation of sovereign States and POTUS as Chief Executive of the Federal government represents and is chosen by the States thereof. Each State represents its citizens respectively.

The reason the College gives more weight to less populous States is, again, the need to represent States at the federal level in a way they already agree with but separated from the Legislature. So each State gets 2 Electors plus at least 1 Elector according to their population, representing the Senators and Representatives they would have in Congress. Remember that the Senate gives equal representation to all States regardless of population; California and Rhode Island each have the same representation in the Senate.

Part of the reason Japan doesn't have an Electoral College is because they aren't as concerned about separating the Executive and Legislative Branches and they aren't a federation of sovereign States.
I had one of the squishy Chumby and wrote some stuff for it in Flash Lite. Good times! Time for me to catch up on your project, looks fun.
Most of my social circle is people that do custom crazy stuff with things with engines. 1000hp off-road trucks, jetskiis that do backflips, cars into the 9 second quarter mile, basically all installation and repair work done by the enthusiast themselves.

I know several people that have lost fingers. Two that have lost teeth. Two that have died along crashes.

Getting shocked by ignition systems is on par with stubbing your toe.
I'm not sure what your point is. "We" are collective humanity. These things seem to be happening more and more. Stories that sound like they're from 100 years ago occur today with growing frequency. It appears "we" are going backwards.

The idea is that the aliens can figure out first that these opening and closing sections have periodicity 30, and because they are so repetitive they do not contain the actual data bits, but then there is a central section which does contain complexity.

So then they will hopefully alight upon the idea of looking at the code two-dimensionally, and adjust their browser width until the lines all line up, at which point they get the custom message.
I think it's usually a bad idea to attribute any broad sentiment to HN as a whole, but if you wanted to make the point that it's a tech industry forum and thus shares (with many counterexamples!) tech industry biases, that's a much more grounded thing to say than that it's a "Silicon Valley" site.

I will say this, though, and it's a wild guess so take it as you will: the median opinion among American tech industry workers about the government of Bolivia is: not, in any way at all, ever once thinking or caring about the government of Bolivia.
Does that one share have all the voting power? Then for founders with real missions and real visions, it won't matter at all.

- "Most of the energy for ion thrusters comes from solar, which the ISS has plenty of."

The ISS rather has very low power relative to its mass. About 1/50th the power/mass ratio of the Dawn probe, for instance. This approach would take multiple decades, with the ISS as it currently is.

It's worth remarking there's never been a spacecraft to date that's attempted a solar-electric spiral out starting from low Earth orbit. (The Boeing 702 satellites can spiral from GTO to GEO at least—though those have, again, far higher power/mass ratios than the ISS).

> The morning of Good Friday, Father John Cormack, presiding priest of St Francis of Assisi Catholic church in Fort Apache, agreed to an interview in his office. His ministry – a rarity on the reservation – is an example of the weaving of Apache tradition into Christianity. The chapel is decorated in Apache symbols and sacred tools. When he collects written prayers, Father John uses Apache traditional burden baskets, canes and other ceremonial objects. Above the door are Eagle feathers, a sacred symbol of strength.

What a cool guy.

Historically the Catholic Church has gotten up to all sorts of nonsense, but they seem to be doing a good job of keeping up with the times, to the extent that a church can be expected to.

The East Fork Lutheran school, on the other hand, isn’t looking so good.
