Of casual chatting in between making dinner, doing chores, playing with kids, and work. The actual time spent strictly on this was more like 2 hours. And that's with me writing zero lines of code, and using the technology stack (modern web) I hate and suck at (but I'm proficient enough to read the basics).

Also, to be honest, it would've been much faster if GPT-4o didn't occasionally get confused by the braces, forcing me to figure out ways to coerce it into adding code in the right place. This is to say, there's still plenty of low-hanging fruits for improvement here.
It's actually not that far-fetched when you consider the long view of human history. Hominins have been capable of cultural transmission for millions of years, and during most of that time it made most sense to repeat what the previous generation had done as closely as possible, since they had by definition survived and reproduced well enough to make a new generation. Among all those practices of toolmaking, hunting strategies, herbal knowledge, and whatever we call 'ritual', it wouldn't have been clear to the practitioners which were actually effective at increasing survival and which not, so everything gets repreated over generations (with occasional modifications catching on and producing cultural evolution ofc)

I have been lucid dreaming for many years and about five years ago, I started keeping my tablet on the nightstand and when I wake up, if I remember it, which I generally do, I use speech to text to record it. If I don't do that I often forget them. I have categories, the movie type are like 3rd person and it plays out like I am watching a movie. A ride along dream is like first person, I feel like I am riding along with someone else, but I know it's not me, but I know their thoughts. The me dream is when I am me in the dream. Some of them repeat multiple times over several nights In all cases I know I am dreaming. I started turning some of them into short stories. No idea where some of them come from. Often it seems like I just tuned into someone's story, but the subconscious is a funny thing.
"I’m pretty sure he arrived in Spain without any grand ideas of being part of a revolution, and quite simply wanted to fight against fascists."

He was a socialist before going to spain, but his idea was to go there as a journalist. But once there, he felt he had to activly take arms to fight fascism.
(and like others mentioned, he joined not a anarchist, but a socialist militia, but not one under sowjet control, so he later experienced first hand, how the sowjets dealt with competition, which lead to "animal farm" and 1984)

But he did also met many anarchists and the differences between anarchists and socialist militias were rather blurry for the people in the trenches anyway.

What I really like about Orwell, as opposed to the usual glorifying propaganda - he just wrote down what he saw. The good and the bad. He did not close his eyes to the ugly side of the revolution (trash everywhere for example)

You'd think every DAW would have something like this: Subtract everything that's stereo (AKA keep only the sound that's present in both channels).

I have old mono records that I wanted to clean up. In that case, any stereo content is obviously scratches and surface noise, so removing it would be most of the job. But nope... not one DAW offered this filter, despite offering the opposite (removing mono content and keeping the stereo).

And yes I did try removing the mono content and then subtracting the result from the full source, but this didn't work; I don't remember (or know) why.

There was a subway station in Paris - Etoile I think - that was like that: No need of 90 degree angles, stairs here and there in unpredictable locations, and colorful and brightly lit underground "strip mall". A bowling alley or something. Most subway stations are mostly corridors populated only with people and wall poster advertising, while that one because it had a bunch of stores and other venues, felt so much larger and confusing from a navigation point of view.

Some glimpses of it in the movie Subway I think? It's not the main station in that movie, which is Chatelet Les Halles - vast spaces where it's hard to keep track of orientation yes, but seemingly very simple vertically: flat. Which is misleading: most Paris subway stations are complex vertically because of the need to straddle and connect different sides of rail tracks crossing at different levels, while leaving intact different sides of other tunnels, sewers, etc.

Actually there were two separate times during the installation process that you could press F6 to provide storage drivers. The first had no visible prompt! The second has the prompt you remember.

Here's how I remember it: The Windows CD itself had drivers built into the installer so that it could discover hardware. However, if you had a brand new storage controller, you might find that even Windows NT CD's installer wouldn't recognise it, so it would tell you that there were no storage devices found. To get around this you had to press F6 right at the start of the CD boot, before the Windows logo appeared. After a few seconds you could provide your storage drivers on a floppy disk, and the Windows installer program would continue to load. This time, the installer would recognise your disks. Then during the installation you would get a visible F6 prompt to provide your storage drivers. This allowed you to provide extra storage drivers that would be bundled with the installed OS.

Most people didn't know about the first F6, because I think NT installer had some sort of very basic, generic storage drivers that would work in most cases. If you had some very recent array controller, you would likely need to know about the "invisible F6 prompt".
Wouldn't anarchists also be opposed to the state, and any governments above the local level, which are to be determined democratically?

Great write up. However, I believe there has been a shift in what kind of people are filtered into the top.

Any talk of "regular people" inside the HN bubble is fraught with bias. Commenters here will sometimes tell you that "regular people" work at FAANG, make $400K/yr and have vacation homes in Tahoe. Actual "regular people" use Facebook occasionally, shop at the grocery store, watch Sportsball on TV, and plan their kids' birthday parties or their next vacation. They're not sitting there augmenting their daily lives with ChatGPT.

You have to understand Jesus historically as an apocalyptic Jew, concerned with the coming Kingdom of God replacing the corrupt world order.

> I’d be interested to understand why the $60 is incompressible or an unsellable price.

An accessory for the market where the highest-priced products sell for $200-$300. $60 is not an attractive proposition in that market.

> Did you consult with a print farm to see how much they could produce your items for, or was this based on you producing them yourself?

I used a pro 3D print facility, that's the best they could do. I did my research and found similar quotes from other printers.

> Also, designing for manufacturability is a thing, and slightly changing your design can yield massive improvements in costs.

Absolutely, but the design could not be simplified any more. You simply cannot go from $60 to $5 using 3d printing technologies, material, and finish. Yes, I did use 3d printing farms and the results were unusable, the quality was unacceptable. You can can go even lower than $5 using injection moulding, I was quoted $0.5 if I ordered 100000 pieces. The problem with injection moulding is the cost of the mould, the material, and the storage of unsold inventory. You really have to be sure that you will sell it. There is also nobody to talk to if you want certain quality or finish. There is a reason why manufacturers of certain products keep it in-house.
I think they do. I've also had huge problems with Zoom when talking to my parents, because for some reason they are aggressively muted for several seconds while nobody else on the call is canceled like that. If anyone else on the call so much as clears his throat, my parents are muted and we all have to sit silently waiting for them to be able to talk. Annoying as shit.

I suspect that this is noise cancellation that's failing because they keep their phone far away from themselves, to fit two people in the shot; and audio is bouncing off the walls or otherwise suffering enough delay to mess it up.

It lets you hook into various points in the kernel; ultimately you need to learn how the Linux kernel is structured to make the most of it.

Unlike a module, it can only really read data, not modify data structures, so it's nice for things like tracing kernel events.

The XDP subsystem is particularly designed for you to apply filters to network data before it makes it to the network stack, but it still doesn't give you the same level of control or performance as DPDK, since you still need the data to go to the kernel.

No. It would be justifiable to have a government at a national level democratically controlled to handle foreign policy for example.

But it would be a real democracy, and would require consistent ratification from the population. Details on individual tactics like this depend on the technology and situation in existence.

It's getting far easier to imagine a world where this is possible.

Used PCIe HBA cards pulled from retired servers can be found on eBay for ~$50. They have external facing ports and/or internal facing ports. External is the way to go if you're using a small form factor PC like a business class Lenovo. These are almost all low profile cards, so they will fit in any SFF PC with a PCIe slot. There are special cables which will connect one port on the card to four SATA- or SAS-based disks.

The PC's PSU will need SATA power on its cables or else you'll need to scavenge a separate PSU and use the paper clip trick (or better yet, a purpose built connector) to get it to power things on without a motherboard connected.

Once you have all of that, then it's just a matter of housing the disks. People have done this with everything from threaded rod and plastidip to 3D printed disk racks to used enterprise JBOD enclosures (Just a Bunch Of Disks, no joke).

Total cost for this setup, excluding the disks, can easily be done for less than $200 if you're patient and look for local deals, like a Craiglist post for a bunch of old server hardware that says "free, just come haul it away".

An article that clarifies that somewhat: https://www.biographyonline.net/socialism-george-orwell/

Eric Blair uses the word socialism in a way that is somewhat different from modern usage and especially he is not communist "Unfortunately, many in America equate Socialism with Soviet Communism.".
There is reason other than the Soviets that prevented the communists to ally with the social-democrats in Germany: multiple deaths, smear campaigns, and genuine hatred.

But other than that you're 100% correct, the Soviet stayed with republican Spain until the end despite POUM secession in Catalonia.
