An infamous C64 resource to this day is available in monospace, the so called “VIC article”:

https://www.cebix.net/VIC-Article.txt

Main issue is printing.

The article uses a diagram that needs fixed references in a two dimensional space. That’s why monospace here is invaluable.

The article is the single most important technical reference for the C64. 99% of all technical demo effects can be broken down to fundamental tricks found here.
Someone who follows this stuff, how does this compare to the starship catching towers? Both in terms of complexity and cost. My gut says the starship towers are about as complicated (in an abstract "does a bunch of tricky things wrt spaceship support" even if they're different things way) and I'm betting it's 100x? 1000x cheaper? I don't know anything though so if someone is more knowledgeable I would love to learn more.
It's unfortunate that it's not better regulated and thus safe to yolo just get one, but glow in the dark tattoos that use ink that can't be seen in ordinary light are particularly cool.
I think the reason behind that is simple: In my experience, there are orders of magnitude more not-entirely-ADA-compliant websites than there are sites with banners such as the ones you mentioned.

But yeah, I don't know if the site-isn't-compliant-in-certain-browsers-equals-discrimination argument would succeed or not. But I bet the people whose income dries as a result of browser-based-compliance up would definitely try that tactic.
So you don't have a dedicated IPv4... What are you asking?

Heck no. Just saying that it's uses aren't frivolous.

Thing is, under law you are not allowed to falsify information on financial disclosures like this, regardless of whether the counterparty is OK with it or not. It may be that the state considers the integrity of the financial system a higher priority than individual deals, or it may be designed to prevent money laundering - more likely the latter, as there are a lot of ways to clean dirty money if everyone involved is willing to accept some imaginary claims as fact.
I usually carry a bottle of hand sanitizer to clean my hands before meals. I started doing this even before the pandemic, to avoid getting sick with the common cold.

A good number of people do this in my city: when I go on public transit, I see a fair number of commuters with a hand sanitizer bottle clipped to their bag with a carabiner. Many people also have a bottle in their pockets or purse.
The point is that none of these guys are risking 100% of anything. Meta stock is liquid. You can sell it or hedge. You might slip 10% but it’s vanishingly unlikely to lose 100%.

The well-known tax dodge is to avoid realizing gains by borrowing against your stock. Say you pledge $1b as collateral on a loan. If interest rates are lower than your stock appreciation, the loan is free. So you don’t ever need to realize the gains, even though you are unlocking capital.

Of course, in the bear market you could get a margin call and have to liquidate at unfavorable prices (and pay taxes then). But not if you are keeping a big enough buffer.
The US government, both at the federal and state level, is extremely inefficient at building infrastructure, in terms of value per dollar spent.

Proposing that we should continue to throw more money at infrastructure, before diagnosing and fixing the problems that are causing that inefficiency (at which point, sure, double the infra budget - as long as we're getting good value, the absolute amount can go up as far as I'm concerned), is straight-up malicious.

The only people who make the argument to keep increasing the infrastructure budget before fixing the problems are those generically interested in throwing more money and power at the government, not those actually concerned about infrastructure (who will seek to fix the problem first).
On Twitter you can at least just switch to the "following" chronological feed and forget that the algorithmic one exists.
Very useful. On the flip side, more untrained people will venture into wildernesses and cause headache for emergency services. Not starlink fault.

You're probably using it wrong. I never see the stuff people complain about. When one of my half-dozen Facebook friends posts something, Facebook emails me and I click the link for that specific post and don't see any other crap. I also occasionally participate in some local-only groups which don't have political ragebait or soft porn, just local people posting silly things they saw in the street or local marketplace groups where people sell their household junk.

I don't even know how to find this feed people keep talking about.

GC is fine for many (most?) applications there. For example sensor stuff, display, networking, turning your lights on and off, etc.
There is no technical issue; Starlink works great in international waters today. As for who will answer your call, that's an interesting question. What do existing satphones do if you call 911 in international waters? As a US citizen I would hope to be connected to the Coast Guard.

I think it was because of corporate firewalls. Unencrypted ports for POP3, IMAP, and SMTP were widely known and allowed where necessary, but their implicit-TLS counterparts were often blocked and IT departments were slow to adapt. STARTTLS helps you smuggle an encrypted tunnel over a well-known port.

Nowadays, it's often the reverse. Many clouds block outgoing port 25 by default, and sometimes even 587. But almost nobody blocks port 465 -- the assumption is that if you're using 465, you must be authorized to use that server -- so that's the port you must use if you want to send emails by SMTP from a typical cloud server.
Over time, fewer and fewer of them post, and they post less and less.

I post a lot less than I used to as well. At least in part this is because my feed is drowning in unwanted noise. Facebook's desparate attempts to wave stuff in my face 'for engagement' drive me away from posting more, so it becomes a vicious circle, driving down engagement, making people post less, round and round we go.

Maybe I'm weird, but if my friends aren't posting much, that's OK, that's what I came here to check. Instead I'm assaulted by noise, quite a lot of it either scammy or offensive.
It's a rephrasing of your question, isn't it?

If there's a difference in this context, please clarify.
thing about tips is I'm sure a large portion of tipped people just pocket the cash & don't report it - missed tax revenue. So if they just say, "pocketing it is legal", what tax revenue was lost? Some, but not as much as say a salaried tax cut.
Fair point. Space exploration takes a lot of money. But even that has a limit. $2.7b is like a looooot.
In case you want some form of time-tracking, there is also Timewarrior from the same devs. Works stand-alone and integrates well with Taskwarrior.

It's possible to search for moderator replies (dang, earlier sctb and pg) to specific userIDs with the syntax:

https://news.ycombinator.com/replies?id=<CommentUserID>&by=<ReplyUserID>

E.g., dang's replies to bigbacaloa:

<https://news.ycombinator.com/replies?id=bigbacaloa&by=dang>

That (presently) turns up two admonishments dating back 11 months and two years: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37423572> and <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33132910>.

The first of those (11 months ago) is where the account was banned.

If you have specific questions on accounts, users, sites, comments, posts, etc., which you feel are improperly flagged, killed, or banned, you can always email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com. I do this frequently, usually with suggestions (e.g., title or URL changes), sometimes with questions (earlier today a site which showed up dead, turns out it's a hard paywall, which I eventually tracked down dang's comment on, though not in an easily-searchable way).
Documentation often refers to the implcit-TLS protocol as SSL, and the STARTTLS protocol as TLS, with the implication that the latter is better.

It's even easier to fall for these shenanigans if you know just a little bit about security and heard that TLS supersedes SSL.
Try syncall (https://github.com/bergercookie/syncall). It can do two-way synchronization between taskwarrior and CalDAV server.
>But countries form through common language, culture, religion, geography, interests or trauma/war. Anglo-Canada and the US have all the good things in common and no war/trauma keeping them apart.

Canada is indeed an anomaly. I can't think of another circumstance in which two countries that

* share land borders

* are 95% culturally, economically, and politically identical

* do not have longstanding historical grievances against each other

have not unified after two centuries; if anything, this fact implies that annexation is more likely than not to occur, perhaps sometime this century.

Americans on either side of politics think that Canada is full of super-leftists (and there is no shortage). But were Canada a part of the US in 2016, Trump would have won AB, SK, and quite possibly enough of the GTA (the parts that loved Rob Ford, and as "Ford Country" has repeatedly won the province for Doug Ford) to win ON, the province most resembling MI/WI/PA, the three states that Trump unexpectedly won the election with.
No. Say you just made $1 billion in capital gains but you don't want to turn it into cash and pay taxes. So what you do is take out a loan of say $100 million against some of your securities, which gives you plenty of cash to play with. In fact you can keep doing this, just raising another loan to pay off the first one, and so on, until you die - at which point your estate can pay off the outstanding loan, and your legacy is exempt from capital gains taxes. It's called 'buy, borrow, die'.

Obviously I am over-simplifying a little, but this is a real thing. Here's a more comprehensive explanation: https://smartasset.com/investing/buy-borrow-die-how-the-rich...

I see taskwarrior-tui being mentioned a couple of times in this thread. If anyone is interested in why or why not to use taskwarrior-tui, the biggest advantage of taskwarrior-tui are 3 fold:

1. Previously you would have to type `task report`, `task add …`, `task report` again to see how your priorities have changed. With the TUI you can get live feedback.

2. By default, the TUI comes out of the box with intuitive (in the author’s opinion) single-key press actions that map to various taskwarrior subcommands on single or multiple tasks.

3. The UI lets you as a user run 9 custom bash scripts as shortcuts that can extend features without changing the source code.

There are a few things not so good about it though.

1. Everything is accomplished by shelling out to the taskwarrior `task` cli, which has some nuances in parsing command line arguments, and all the corner cases haven’t been ironed out.

2. The calendar feature, the contexts feature, styling features etc are all underbaked or incomplete.

3. This was the author’s first Rust project and definitely needs some refactoring love.

The author definitely recommends reporting any issues or feature requests. He’s also extremely appreciative of the fact that people use the tool and advocate it to other people on threads like this!

Close the tax loopholes and we should benefit. As it stands, the vast majority of the rich pay very little effective tax. Collectively, the low-income bracket pays more tax.
USA vs USSR is the classic counterexample. Or even USA vs. Europe, if you want closer political and economic systems for comparison: https://fee.org/articles/the-poorest-20-of-americans-are-ric....
The "and nothing of value was lost" meme seems applicable here.
Not at all- an iPhone isn’t even close to replacing a PLB or EPIRB. A PLB is much more rugged, powerful at transmitting, and reliable. It is engineered to transmit for very long periods of time in extreme environments- repeatedly immersed at sea in a storm, in extreme cold at high altitude, etc. It can auto activate with immersion or be activated easily by freezing cold hands that can’t grip. It floats and survives long falls.

The iphone has to be held in a certain orientation, with an unobstructed view of the sky for a long time to get a signal out and it uses a lot of battery in the attempt. It also does not have global coverage, or connect to nearly as many satellites as a PLB can.

As a person that does mountaineering and offshore sailing there is absolutely no way I’d carry an iPhone in place of a PLB (although I do carry both). The chances of successfully calling for help on an iphone in the conditions you’d need to - like swimming at sea after your vessel sinks are slim. The PLB stays inside my self inflating life jacket always ready.

I wonder why so many of these earlier GUIs didn't seem to have gotten typography right?

I remember Geoworks looking cool, but the typography was not great.

Even worse were Apple Mac inspired GUIs like Digital Research's GEM Desktop. (which was the default interface in Ventura Publisher)

https://winworldpc.com/product/gem/3x

Amiga Workbench despite being ahead of its time, had poor typography

https://theamigamuseum.com/amiga-kickstart-workbench-os/work...

Compare that to Apple System 6

https://winworldpc.com/product/mac-os-0-6/system-6x

The only environment that came close to having decent typography (apart from Windows and OS/2) was DesqviewX but I don't know if I knew anyone who ran it.

Not really familiar with this space but I think the entire Dojo/DIY strategy was kicked off because Elon wanted to not get cornered on supply or cost by nvidia. And infiniband is an nvidia technology, so they wouldn’t use that simply from strategic POV.

Are there other technologies they could have used?

Also, the 80us is supposed to be the worst case, where typical is supposed to be <10us. Again not knowing anything about infiniband, what’s the typical perf? I tried to google but the people who are talking about it are in the know in ways I’m not.

Thanks!
So, this is surprising. Apparently there’s more cause, effect, and sequencing in diffusion models than what I expected, which would be roughly ‘none’. Google here uses SD 1.4, as the core of the diffusion model, which is a nice reminder that open models are useful to even giant cloud monopolies.

The two main things of note I took away from the summary were: 1) they got infinite training data using agents playing doom (makes sense), and 2) they added Gaussian noise to source frames and rewarded the agent for ‘correcting’ sequential frames back, and said this was critical to get long range stable ‘rendering’ out of the model.

That last is intriguing — they explain the intuition as teaching the model to do error correction / guide it to be stable.

Finally, I wonder if this model would be easy to fine tune for ‘photo realistic’ / ray traced restyling — I’d be super curious to see how hard it would be to get a ‘nicer’ rendering out of this model, treating it as a doom foundation model of sorts.

Anyway, a fun idea that worked! Love those.

You still haven't told us whether you've been there or not.

As for the Western picture of it: it comes largely from NK citizens who've escaped. Call it "propaganda" if you like, but if it were false then there would be a net inflow of people who are as hip to reality as you think you are. Is there?

South Koreans would be trying to move IN if you were correct; after all, they're closer than anyone and they speak the language.
> Cities are often cheaper to live in than suburban lifestyles

Often? Where is it cheaper, for equivalent lifestyle, to live in a city?

Never heard of that. Cities (unless decrepit) are always very expensive compared to the alternatives.

Perhaps if NK wanted to be understood they'd allow tourists to come in and wander around and talk to the happy natives.

Just answer us this: is an NK citizen free to emigrate to some other country?

I do. There's a number of apps that are now broken, and you can't even install them from the playstore anymore e.g. Authy and relay for reddit. Sure you can save APKs and reinstall them (I have for relay), but the last working version is from last year and has multiple bugs including ones that cause app crashes.

Various apps from minor banks in my country don't work (even with compatibility features enabled), although all the major ones do thankfully.

Uber was also doing A/B testing earlier in the year where they would disable a lot of features if you had an untrusted device for some users.
The quest to run doom on everything continues.
Technically speaking, isn't this the greatest possible anti-Doom, the Doom with the highest possible hardware requirement?

Stop sharing legitimate news that comes with outright disinformation.

You’re not being taken down for the legitimate take. You are being taken down for the other wild assertions, conspiracy theories and lies that you cook up with them.

You people will write like “some stupid n*** shot up a grocery store”

Then you get taken down and whine that “I just made a comment about news that really happened”. And then the real reason it was taken down was the n-bomb you dropped.

The posts you claim are censored are not being censored for the reasons you are claiming.
Every once in a while I come across some early mid century book that is handwringing about the increased "Americanization" of Canada so I think at some point perhaps there was more distinction. A lot of the anxieties around the free trade debates in the 1980s were about this.

But in general the relationships in NA work more North/South than East/West and the construction of Canada is fairly contrived. So while Canadians have a lot in common with Americans just across the border, this may be more regional cultural relationships. I would posit that your typical Seattle area Washingtonian has a more common culture with a nearby Vancouverite than they would with someone from Florida, Texas or New York.

This is debatable. What is pretty sure is that a field of wind turbines or solar panels just cannot trigger any disaster involving durably dangerous (and difficult to recover) stuff spread on a large geographic zone.

The first EPR project in France (Flamanville-3) had problems documented in an official report (dubbed 'Folz', per the name of its main author), sadly AFAIK it wasn't translated into English: https://www.economie.gouv.fr/rapport-epr-flamanville

Short version: it is very late and costs way more than planned, and the most prominent causes weren't "safety concerns" even if the Fukushima disaster happened during this project, and therefore added new requirements which, while non-negligible in absolute terms, were very minor causes of problems for this project.

One of the main causes is known: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

Basically, aides call up media outlets and aggressively nag.

The media then gets favors if they comply. There's no law against a politician playing favorites in the media.

The media can also choose to ignore. It's not in the White House's interest to make enemies in the media.
I think quoting RoTT in this context is a little cliche: as a practical matter, we're all trusting immense amounts of code that we haven't read. The question is what to do about that practical reality, other than "give up because of the existential threat of a compiler backdoor."
