Well, you can learn brainfuck. Or regex if youre insane.

I'd say anything functional should be fun. Haskell, scheme, ML. Try metaprogramming in scheme, or find the most interesting way to use recursion in Haskell that you can come up with.

There's a new project that uses interaction nets as a model of computation called HVM. There's also a pretty easy to learn language that comes with it called Bend, it's just syntactic sugar for the HVM language which looks really cool. Maybe learn them both.

Any of those should really change the way you think of programming and computation.

There's always niche stuff like Erlang and R if you just want something different.
Funny, you're doing exactly what you accused others of: defend Amazon with argument 1. Ah, argument 1 completely misses the point? Well, just defend Amazon with argument 2. Say no word about how you missed the point originally, because the only important thing is to defend Amazon.

Cumulative vs. Cyclical Knowledge
So many-worlds says that the waveform doesn't collapse to a kronecker-delta, but to an average of multiple ones that 'don't interact'.

Is this conjecture, do we see this in some specific toy systems, or do we know this is how all 'collapsed' waveforms behave? In other words, to what degree is the many-worlds interpretation just an interpretation of the waveform, or is it also a conjecture about how the waveform behaves?

edit: it also sounds like the 'many worlds' are separate, but the 'real' waveform actually still has the information of all the worlds. That suggests the information in that waveform is huge. It also feels like the 'non-collapsed' things from the different worlds could still interact. How much of what I said here is wrong (I presume it is a lot)?

Is that a first person observation, guesswork, or dubious inference on the basis of sparse evidence of occasional battles in some parts of the world?

The certitiude of comments such as yours is always intriguing.

For reference, in the region in question there's no archealogical evidence of any pitched battles in the Tanimi and genetic evidence supports people arriving in various parts of Australia and pretty much staying where they got to tens of thousands of years back until the 1800's at least.

Part of the reason social media has grown so big and been so profitable is that these platforms have scaled past their own abilities to do what normal companies are required to do.

Facebook has a “marketplace” but no customer support line. Google is serving people scam ads for months, leading to millions in losses. (Imagine if a newspaper did that.) And feeds are allowed to recommend content that would be beyond the pale if a human were curating it. But because “it’s just an algorithm bro” we give them a pass because they can claim plausible deniability.

If fixing this means certain companies can’t scale to a trillion dollars with no customer support, too bad. Google can’t vet every ad? They could, but choose not to. Figure it out.

And content for children should have an even higher bar than that. Kids should not be dying from watching videos.

But Elastic can already take the changes from Amazons fork - opensearch is permissively licensed. What they might want is that Amazon stops maintaining its fork and contributes directly to elastics mainline. I believe that ship has sailed, and it's not coming back to pick up stragglers.

For me, the most interesting part of the article was this:

"Her apartment block was on Anexartisias Street, a bustling shopping area, however, Kively was the only person living inside the four-storey building – all the other apartments were empty."

Is this the result of population decline, or of investors buying and just holding without renting out?

Seems odd that an entire residential building has only one tenant. Wikipedia[1] states:
"The Limassol municipality is the most populated in Cyprus". So there should be demand.

A high or increasing fraction of guard labor [1] doesn't bode well for an economy or a society. It's a sign that there may be an increasing amount of defection vs cooperation in a society, either more people where the marginal calculus has tipped, or the existing defectors are working harder.

There was an excellent article here a few months ago about what drives the cost of nuclear power up so much, at least in the US. The US Navy has managed to develop relatively cheap nuclear reactors for submarines, so the technology exists. Commercial reactor costs are constantly driven up by regulations that become stricter during the process of building power plants, to the point where they often have to dismantle things to comply with new regulations that came into effect during construction. Nuclear plants go way over budget consistently, and it sounds like the economic case is actually getting harder for them.

Ultimately these regulations are driven by the large fraction of the public that is terrified of nuclear disaster. Unless that changes, costs may not go down significantly.
I think the point is that if the same person is accountable for both, they're pretty much "intertwined".

Meme: Becoming One of the Cool Kids
Once we had a fire drill at our office.

I had three big monitors and ANC headphones. I didn't hear a thing. I
was sitting relaxed alone in my room, other co-workers from the same
room were on vacations.

I didn't hear the alarm. The guy who had to check if everyone evacuated
just glanced over my room and didn't see me, as I was behind the
monitors. When I was about to to get some water, I've discovered that
the fire doors were all activated.

I remember the feeling when I was going outside the office by using the
fire staircase (elevators were off), and seeing firemen passing by, all
looking at me as if I was some kind of an alien visiting earth. That
feeling now tells me that it's completely believable to miss a dead
person for a few days, especially if two days are the weekend. Someone
didn't do their job, but this happens, sometimes in the worst time
possible. In such cases, we get the news like in this situation.

Hi, I read the twitter thread and also watched the video. The people are really awesome and creative!

I'm just learning about the codes and I did not understand some things, so I'd be very grateful if anyone helps me to understand these things...

1. The 1000x1000 image is the million checkboxes in 1000 rows x 1000 columns right?

2. Do they create the image directly with the checked and unchecked boxes, or we have to convert them to binary/ASCII etc to see the image?

3. The site can have only 1 1000x1000 image, right? So to make the image change, someone has to overwrite the present image with the help of another bot?

Once you've found out the four-letter ID ("train description") of your train, you can also cross-check with the live signalling displays provided by Opentraintimes (https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/lec1), Traksy (https://traksy.uk/live/M+39+EUSTON+-29) et al.

Those will show a copy of the train describer data, which is the same thing that the actual signallers use to keep track of which train runs to which timetable, so they (or the computer, where available) can route it accordingly.

Scaling robotics datasets with video encoding
A 1500 byte (octet) MTU frame is 1538 bytes “on the wire”.

7 byte preamble

1 byte SFD

6 byte dst MAC

6 byte src MAC

2 byte ethertype or length

46-1500 bytes of payload (ignoring “Jumbo” frames and 802.1q tags)

4 byte CRC

12 byte IFG (which is silence, but still counts for time on the wire)

Add it up and you have 1538 bytes “on the wire”.

TCP overhead for IPv4 is 20 bytes for IP(v4) (no options) and 20 bytes for TCP (again, no options).

So 1460 bytes of data for 1538 bytes on the wire. 1460/1538 = 0.949284

So for 100M Ethernet, 94.9284Mbps is “perfect”.

> As of 2022, the total combined energy capacity of electric vehicle (EV) batteries sold in Europe reached approximately 690 GWh, and grows very quickly.

Lol, so for context, a single French person is using 2.5GWh/year. One single inhabitant.

France is consuming 1.2TWh of electricity per DAY in winter.

So the whole electric vehicle fleet in the whole Europe is worth half a day (being generous) of electricity just in France during the time which is the tightest in electricity. That's so low it's not even worth mentioning. And that's the whole Europe compared to a single country, that's not going to make it.

> Note: dams are a renewable source.

There's also pretty much no new place where you can build one in a developped country as it's an old technology.

> You wrote that "solar and wind" can drop "to 5% capacity for weeks at a time", and I ask for the source of this

Solar produces most of it's production during 6 months and only gives 3% of the yearly production on each month of January and February. That's the two months where the countries are using the most electricity for context and need the most production.

For wind, that happens regularly, even right now as we speak, Germany has a 7% capacity which isn't far.

> deployed on whole continent. Guess what?

The wind production is synchronized right now, you can check it. That's another kind of strange of being shown the reality right now and denying it.

https://jancovici.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/eolien_grap...

Here is the statistics, when it blows in Germany, it blows in France and when there's no wind in France, there's wind in Germany either.

> This is highly debatable as the real total cost of the nuclear fleet is disputed. Remember: EDF's debt now surpasses 50 billion €...

No it's not disputed, there's extensive reports in France on that subject as it's a common talking point.

I don't know any study about the external costs of renewables though so 100 billion for around 10% of the production is the best scenario. And calling it a failure seems pretty fair even with the most generous figures possible.

At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding anyway, if it had worked, the nuclear program wouldn't have been brought back from the dead. France already tried ambitious renewable investments to replace the nuclear fleet during a whole decade and it failed. What the country got instead was mediocre results for the price paid and an increased dependency on gas which proved to be a huge issue with the Russian war. Those who don't learn from the past are condemn to repeat it.
Not that I disagree with everything, but 8 billions argument seems misplaced to me. Why should a life style support that many, if valid?

Logistic map (aka uncontrolled growth of population or overpopulation) is basically the fundamental source of suffering for all living things. Instead of planning for food, nature just overproduces demand and lets the weak starve to death and the average to just starve.

Rather than asking how it would support billions, we should ask how we are planning to not suffer in these numbers. Haven’t heard it regarding our current life style. Everyone tells us to reproduce more and pay more and more astronomic bills and loans, that’s it.
Hopefully they get the same deal Microsoft got.

This is a lovely phrase. Is it an idiom or your own creation?
Also, the D language creator often posts here on HN (Walter Bright).
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is today.” This Chinese Proverb can also be said about reloading. If the last couple of years has taught us anything, it’s that ammo manufacturers can’t keep up with demand during times of pandemic and political turmoil.

If you have walked into any sporting goods or gun store in the past year, you have seen the empty shelves, where boxes of ammo were once in abundance. Even if manufacturers could afford to install the needed machines and invest in the talent to operate them, would it be enough?

Therefore, many of us gun owners have realized the need to start reloading for the first time.

Think about it: you can pay three times the regular price for a box of ammo or reload it yourself for below retail price. Take 9mm, for example; it’s possible to reload it for $0.30 per round; if you were to go out and purchase that round, it would cost you nearly $1 per round. Don’t forget you have much more control over the process, making the ammo you reload more consistent.

Yes, they are very corrupt. They are untouchable, and use the given power to their own benefit.

I don't really agree, at any one time I have hundreds of tabs across multiple windows and it's great. I have a window for investing. Every few days or so I unminimize it, read through the latest stats, news, information about companies I follow, etc. I have a window for a new hobby I'm picking up, I use that window every weekend, it has quite a few tabs for stuff I'm learning or want to come back to later. I have a window for work stuff. Etc, lots of windows for lots of topics, every time I want to change context I just switch to the relevant window, it's great.

To be properly paranoid, I would allow the device to send telemetry and diagnostics, but only through my proxy. The outbound stream can be as encrypted as they want, but I will demand the ability to decode the answer, and decide whether I let it come back to the box.

I wonder how many vendors would agree to offer this, and how much more would t then cost.

(If you update software from the vendor's resource, all bets are off, because you just run their software which can do anything your security measures would not prevent it from doing. You have to very seriously trust the vendor of your OS, if you may be a high-value target.)

> Do any embedded systems actually use it for sensitive phone calls?

I hope not...

> then they (hopefully) have TLS on top.

I'd hope so too, especially given that many cellular modem modules have SSL/TLS support themselves (and they had already 10 years ago), so even a tiny microcontroller communicating by UART to the modem can do TLS.

But reality might be different... it would actually be interesting to see some real-world data about this. I think that some systems connect to special GPRS endpoints (not the usual ones) that connect them directly to some VPN network instead of using the public internet... (if I remember well, I've read this about some automotive systems). So they might actually rely on the VPN encryption for the Internet part, but the GPRS part would then be unsecured if the GPRS crypto is broken.
This is the tricky bit yes. I bought some Pi HATs[1] earlier, and they seem to work fine when testing, but haven't tried to use them properly yet. Alternatively I have some condenser microphones and an audio card HAT for the Pi.

So I hope to be able to use that with Pi Zero W. Played around with using PulseAudio so I could add compression plugins and such, which seems to work.

Haven't actually attempted wake-work yet, but first port of call there will be to try the ones Rhasspy uses[2].
