> Parents seem to get out of this scot free.

What's the point of pointing the finger at that amorphous, anonymous mass of people? Incarcerate parents if they don't educate their children properly? Fine them if they allow their offspring too much phone time?
I disagree about it being logical to replace it. There's no real good reason not to keep it if we think it's still useful. I feel it's contentious because that's a lot of money to spend destroying stuff that could still provide benefit for many years to come.

Of course, to actually discuss this, we need to answer the real question of whether we even want to keep the ISS...

If we agree something like this is useful to have in the long run, if we destroy the old one, we have to get every party involved (or a new group of countries) to agree that this is worth spending the money on building an entirely new ISS. My gut feeling says that won't happen in the current geo-political climate. If we destroy the ISS, that's the end of the road.

We could, of course, all agree that it's too expensive maintaining the ISS and we should just abandon any such future projects. While this might well be popular with some governments trying to save money, we will miss out on all that research and international collaboration. Honestly, I don't know what value that research is nowadays, but I assume there must have been some or we wouldn't have done it originally and manage to convince lots of countries to participate in spite of their ongoing tensions.

Or the third option - continue to build, using the existing ISS as a base. We could send up small modules piecemeal and bolt them onto the ISS. It's not like the ISS even has to end up as the centre, it could end up entirely on one side and at the point it's really no longer useful for operations, it would still have value as a storage space, the parts could be ransacked for repairs, it would even provide some impact protection from random space junk.

Other than potentially making the "new" ISS a bit less maneuverable, or random bits falling off and hitting the new structure (not sure if that really happens or only in movies), I don't really see any downsides to keeping the old ISS attached to any new structure. And keeping it safeguards us against completely abandoning future co-operative research.

I guess one perceived downside might be that the US wants to go it alone with some secret projects, and doesn't want to build anything attached to the ISS to reduce the possibility of a hostile takeover.
>Unfortunately a vast section of the population are are classed poor or in poverty, and so cant afford anything better than wonder bread.

I don't think that's the case. Both because poor people, in countries with lower wages and higher cost of living, still buy regular bread, and also because in the US that shit is also consumed by not-so-poor and middle class families too.

>Its not a conspiracy to make you think that chemically created foods are as good as naturally produced unprocessed foods, its so that people who cant afford or dont have access to healthy natural food dont get deseases like rickets, spinal conditions, or other growth mutations which are common from malnutrition.

I doubt this as well, since the "with vitamins" badges are also on food that's way beyond necessary spending, from gum to expensive "high end" "healthy" cereal, all the way to power drinks that cost as much as a Starbucks latte.

I'm not talking about official state sponsored/mandated programs to add some beneficial substances to food stuff for the general population (which of course is good).
And that's a dev/debug tool, just as explained by OP.

You'd prefer to have an incosistent internet connection as opposed to ethernet?

You know none of those are true. Like it's been mentioned already the strengths lie in portability. GPS and Camera. Those things are inherently linked to being able to carry something small around. And even then for specific cases dedicated GPS devices and dedicated cameras are used.
IMO within a small range iterating isn't too painful.

It's probably safe, maybe even close enough to optimal for typical use, to have an array or list of bytestrings for each line. Or maybe more complex Line (of text) objects that record the byte-length, 'codepoint'-length, and '(display)character'-length. There might even be special cases built in for typical and massive documents (number of lines) and overly long lines.
To the contrary, trust arises from being able to verify. Otherwise, you never know whether a failure is because of ill intentions or errors. That's why I very much dislike “trust, but verify”. I prefer “trust, and verify”.

>The problem is, it works most of the time, when it doesn't it's dangerous. That "most of the time" part isn't large enough for people to ignore the failures.

I doubt that. A lot of failures will be ignored and only fixed if and when necessary because they are not usually very dangerous. A lot of information we produce is never acted on. And a lot of information we do act on is incorrect or unfounded anyway.

Also, in places where hallucinations are unacceptable, double checking some facts is still far cheaper than manually producing the whole thing from scratch.

I bet we will see an avalanche of incorrect and funny information coming from customer support systems. And yet very few people will want to pay for better fact checking.

> It's the same survival of fittest, except the weakest constituance is hurt most. They are very sparse so their voice is never heard.

their voice is heard to a disproportionate extent because there are entire companies like Walmart and really entire industries like food service that built a business model around being able to pay sub-living wages (usually with the difference made up by tax dollars or tips).
Your service is founded on some ideas and points of view that I personally don't understand.

Instead of focusing on teaching children robust strategies for dealing with the Real World, you're advocating for inserting some interposing technology to achieve this ill-defined goal, namely that "your kid turns out normal".

Tech is often unfairly littered with the graves of bright ideas that were ahead of their time, or didn't happen to catch on, but there's also a large population of deservedly dead ideas that keep trying to solve deeply human problems by blindly substituting technology -- and this is firmly in this latter camp.

I wish you (as a human) no ill-will, and I hope you will build different solutions in future, which marry human strengths with technology, instead of bypassing them via black boxes.
WinUI3 itself.

If you want to be "normal", or at least follow the Microsoft semi blessed path, and make an appx, that does not include WinUI3. The user installs it, and in the process pulls down WinUI3 (also an appx) if it is not already installed. It's only if you really insist on "self-contained" that this problem arises.

I say semi-blessed because of course Microsoft aren't really committed to WinUI3 and barely any of their own apps use it.
If it's like in Austria, then the state media doesn't receive cheques from the state government, but directly from the taxpayers via a separate tax collected by an independent agency granted power by the state, and not from the state itself.

On paper this makes it so that the state media is reporting directly to the paying citizens similar to a national Patreon, in practice IMO, it's still state control but with extra steps and middlemen designed to give the illusion of independence.
> Unfortunately a vast section of the population are are classed poor or in poverty, and so cant afford anything better than wonder bread. This is why fortified foods were introduced in the first place.

Supermarket bread in Germany is very cheap, and looks a lot less suspicious than 'Wonderbread'. (Never having had Wonderbread, I can't tell anything more past the looks.) I don't the poverty argument: the US is a lot richer than Germany.

German supermarkets like Aldi and Lidl aren't charities: obviously they also use industrial processes to make bread really cheap and turn a profit. But given consumer preferences in Germany, you get something that looks like this https://www.aldi-nord.de/produkt/krustenbrot-7256-0-0.articl...

It's 1.49 Euro for 1kg of bread.

I can believe that this style of bread would be a lot more expensive in the US. It certainly is where I am living now in South East Asia. But that's not because of poverty, but because without widespread demand for 'real' bread you don't have the scale necessary for industrial production to make sense.

(And it's not like stuff like Wonderbread is illegal in Germany. You can buy fluffy white bread just fine, too, if you really want it.)
Is there any reading you could link to to explain why you think Georgism is outdated in a modern context?
This is going to sound weird but even if it was actual coins (say) would that make the whole thing any more "real"?

Either way it's a symbolic system and it doesn't really matter if you execute it on an abacus, or in a digital computer, or by writing in a book and carting bags of coins around.

I think the parts that are missing from most people's mental model are things like the role of the central bank, and the fact that lending limits are influenced but not determined by deposits.

I disagree that "It's not a space that could really use innovation." There's quite a lot of innovation and experimentation in the visual programming space, and many vastly different approaches to visual programming.

You forgot about block based visual programming languages like Scratch, Snap!, and Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, and also the most ubiquitous, widely used, universally known, commonly taught, extremely powerful, and easily accessible style of visual programming language, which the worldwide economy depends on and would collapse if millions of people didn't regularly use them every day: spreadsheets.
This was a big reason I switched to the mac many years ago. I was a win32 programmer professionally, but I was more productive on mac after a week or so of hobby fiddling around.

There is simply no contest. MacOS 10.0 was far superior as an environment to develop desktop apps when released, than Microsoft Windows is today with any toolkit you might want to choose.
I wanted to offer free “machine learning” consultancy to jobs that are most endangered to be replaced/affected by it.

> I doubt this as well, since the "with vitamins" badges are also on food that's way beyond necessary spending, from gum to expensive cereal, all the way to power drinks that cost as much as a Starbucks latte.

Well, I guess that's just basic marketing? Vitamins are approximately free to add, and some people are more likely to buy stuff that makes vitamin health claims, while approximately no one dislikes vitamins enough to stop buying a product because of vitamins in it.
I carry my phone with me just about everywhere. Sometimes in a restaurant I look at it a lot, even when I'm with friends. But in the sum of all things almost all my phone use is predominantly about the GPS and outside of that I look at my phone less than 10 minutes per day. Sometimes 5, sometimes 0.

It's not that I don't understand the fun of reading news, including places like HN, but I just can't get a proper hit on something like a phone so I'm not very tempted. Even typing in a URL is unpleasant on the phone.
Programmer syndrome.

> Programmers thinking that they need Git itself (or some plugin for it) to support the file format is just a weird mental block

Git supporting the file format has several advantages. For one thing, changing a single word in a 37 MiB file won't add 37 MiB to the repo. For another, one could use the Git log to review the changes across commits and branches.
Also, heroism isn't routine.

The advantage of this position (looking at other parents' kids) is you'll always be able to find an angle.

You're blaming parents for letting their kids on their own device. If they'd follow your advice, you could then blame them for not letting their kids get bored [0]. And if they're reading you can blame the lack of exercise, or otherwise the lack of reading/writing by hand. Or if they're doing all of that in turn, you can go for the over-parenting angle.

It's infinite, no situation will be blame free if we look at the right angle.

Indeed banks don't loan/invest deposits. Banks conjure money out of thin air when a loan is made. Some amount of deposits (a small fraction of the loans) is sometimes needed, although e.g. USA has scrapped fractional reserve demands.

I guess people have hard time accepting this because it seems too absurd to be true. Also it's common to confuse money to be a scarce resource/commodity because that's how it looks like for most individuals (and that's the story usually pushed for us plebs).

The "A Python script should be able to run on any machine with a Python interpreter." remark is amusing. Recently ended up installing a whole new distribution version just to get Python 3.11 and the new library versions that the script I was running depended upon.

Giving a program finish and polish does have this kind of unlimited depth, but it is critical to remember that comes after the initial coding which is always rough with many gaps since that is always where things start. And then we make many choices. Hearing people commit to strong typing because docs are always out of date is another chuckle. Maybe if the docs were kept right from the start, maybe with some use of automatically generated reference pages, then there wouldn't be such frequent problems getting types right in the first place? To each their own, but strong typing hype is just another currently popular method among many. Strong typing has its value, but like every other methodology cannot be absolutely trusted to save programmers from error.
Yes. I believe proving the strict bound is one of the exercises now.
So you want to blame a Prime Minister who came to power in 1979 for something that very clearly started during the previous Labour government throughout the 1970s, and just continued afterwards? Seems to be missing a few details about the state of the British economy under Labour rule. You can also see that during the Blair years, house building declines at an even more rapid rate than during the previous Conservative government.

The only thing you can blame Maggie for in this chart is what comes after 1989, which is when she introduced policy (suggested by Viscount Monckton) that allowed people in social housing to buy their homes from government for the first time.

I'd kind of expect that it wouldn't scale down that far unless you plan on storing very little energy; by way of comparison our local PSHE has the same g as your land, but stores O(1e11) kg with an O(1e3) m vertical.
There seem to be a lot of properties that are numeric or boolean, e.g.

"base_happiness": 50,
"capture_rate": 190,
"forms_switchable": false,
"gender_rate": 4,
"has_gender_differences": true,
"hatch_counter": 10,
"is_baby": false,
"is_legendary": false,
"is_mythical": false,

Why not treat each of those properties as an extra dimension, and have the embedding model handle only the remaining (non-numeric) fields?

Is it because:

A) It's easier to just embed everything, or

B) Treating those numeric fields as separate dimensions would mean their interactions wouldn't be considered (without PCA), or

C) Something else?
Sure, but fact is lots of companies have bad managers, toxic work environments, etc.

There are some great places to work out there, but there are plenty that are basically the movie mean girls.
> The product was worse and the team had to spend too much time (more than 0 minutes) explaining to a front end dev why a baseball box score had an order that stats were always displayed in because that’s the way fans expected it

See, for me this is an argument in favor of hiring people who don’t know the field. "It’s done this way because our users expect it" is a good reason to do something, but it’s great to have it stated explicitly and consciously. It’s even food for thought: "how do we keep it this way AND improve it so that even our frontend dev who doesn’t know sports understands it?"

Everyone can learn any business. That your business is the passion of many people doesn’t mean you should only hire passionate people.
> Can't they just focus on producing a great standards-based browser?

Let’s imagine they do. Let’s imagine they start gaining on Chrome. What do you imagine would happen? One possibility is Google pulls out of their deal with Mozilla and Mozilla runs out of money in like 6 to 12 months. That’s the end of all browser competition.

Mozilla corp. tries to diversify its income sources. I understand why it’s being criticised, most of their attempts look like lack of focus and not many of them are awefully successful.

But also consider that if all active Firefox users donated like $3/y to Mozilla it would cover Google’s $450m/y. Users would become the primary source of income for Mozilla and then Mozilla would listen more to users rather than try balancing what users want (to maintain user base) and what Google and other businesses want (to maintain revenue stream). So your contrubion of only complains on the internet and exactly $0 is what makes Mozilla buy ad companies.
