Mines, factories, warehouses, railways and ports are actual capital and they’re not easily moved. An economy that is mostly based on manufacturing is going to move workers to where the factories are.

A financial economy, or an IT based economy can be more centralised and can be located wherever the talent is.

Really cool project. I went through all 40 puzzles, only missed a couple :(

Some friendly feedback: maybe add a way to quickly go to previous/next puzzle directly, like arrows on the side of the screen. Modal with "play" button reloads on every puzzle, so you have to press the button every time, I think it should come up only once on start up. I see that it takes some time for the graph to load, but modal should close itself then. Also, I'm not sure if it is a timezone issue on my side or calendar in archive is off by one day: you need to click the next day to get puzzle for the prior day. Not really important, but August 16th puzzle is mislabeled (atmospheric ppm. vs temperature anomaly).

Thanks for putting this together, I'll try to play again sometime.

That's a data dump, not a coherent analysis or explanation.

And either way -- this whole discussion is plainly moot.

For starters, the initial argument made in [0] was just not coherent to begin with. There's no way to interpret "commit espionage against the US" other than to mean in the service of some adversary (as others have indeed accused Snowden of doing, with similar vehemence and invariably lacking hard evidence). The commenter withdrew that assertion, which is okay I guess, but that made for an awfully sloppy start.

And even so, the basic logic of what was left in their post (that it was "extremely clear" that Snowden was on some kind of nihilistic rampage against the government, rather than out to expose abuses) just doesn't hold up. Okay, so the guy was sloppy and scattershot in his choice of what to leak. But that by itself doesn't establish destructive nihilism or even vindictiveness toward his former employer as the primary motive.

When this was pointed out in [1], the commenter's followup led off with, not a substantive retort -- but a straight-up character smear. Another huge red flag.

To the extent that they did attempt to address the critique -- still, their logic just didn't add up. Even if 90 percent of the files were related to foreign rather than domestic programs -- that doesn't mean Snowden was simply out to cause as much damage as he possibly could. The simplest and far more plausible explanation is that he thought he could stop (or at least warn people about) abuses in foreign countries as well.

So with that, and the plainly obnoxious, browbeating tone they adopted from the get-go (at the readers of HN, not even at me specifically) I came to a point where I had had enough. As a last resort I was hoping someone could point to something resembling a coherent analysis from some trusted external source (as obviously no one has time sit down and dig through those PDFs, and no one not deeply immersed in this field can honestly say that they can quickly come to conclusions about anything after just a quick sampling). But their response to that was hand-wavy and combative, as well.

So that's it for me. I'm not vested in this topic, and have no particular sympathies for or against Snowden. But I don't pretend to know what his "true" motives were, either.

All I know is that I definitely don't trust what the commenter of [0] has to say about anything in regard to this topic. Not because they're right or wrong. But just from how they choose to communicate, and especially their attitude toward those who don't immediately buy into their (at best, sketchy) interpretations of the narrative record.

I like to think of abductive reasoning as the basis for science that explains natural processes that happened in the past -- like astronomy and geology and evolution -- where experiments are too big to conduct or processes too slow to observe in real-time. So we propose mechanistic explanations for nonobvious outcomes like the formations of stars, or motion of large land mass via plate tectonics or glaciation, or long-range organism speciation over millennia. That's the role for abduction, to explain how all that happened.
One might argue that the EPR is actually a bit too big and thus has become a lot more difficult to build
> maintained a kind of polarization state between each other over a long distance, where the observation of one of them caused a state change at the other "end". this idea of remote causality

Operating on one half of an entangled pair does not transmit information to the other half. Therefore, the is no action or causation. Choices of vocabulary which imply otherwise are incorrect.

It also doesn't work by "hidden variables" - there isn't some secret value which we just don't know yet. So while it's probably least inaccurate to describe what happens in terms of our knowledge of the remote particle changing, is closer to the new facts we learned coming into existence as we learn them, rather than discovering an existing fact. Except that's also not quite right (information can never be created or destroyed).
This is so shortsighted. GenAI has dramatically increased access to creative expression for likely tens of millions of people. It shouldn't be shunned, but rather used as a gateway to developing a deeper and more expressive skillset. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

EDIT: What's with the downvotes? Other "pro-genAI" comments are getting downvoted too. How is it that a community of builders and hackers are so against this?

Looks interesting. Definitely nailing the old myspace aesthetic. I’d be more curious about active users versus registered users. Social networks are usually defined by activity. Unfortunately registered users probably contains a lot of bots and spammers.
No one argued otherwise? This is irrelevant. My point was that Procreate is still in phase where they need to know their users and deliver what they want, vs. Adobe, who has used all kinds of lock-in and underhanded tactics to back users into a corner and say, “what the fuck you gonna do about it?” The latter is certainly a way a lot of people make money, but is not especially laudable or, as the parent argued, a contrasting route that Procreate could go down and be successful.
That comment would seem to illustrate GP's point.

I lived without AC til I was 30. Worked outside, no car AC, windows open in the summer. I never once remember thinking about the weather before going to live life, and I lived in a place with 110° summers, no problem. Then around that time I started working in an office and got accustomed to it.

I feel weaker and less healthy. I think AC (and canned air in general) is bad for you and I try not to use it and to spend more time outside, probably the only reason I haven't gone cold turkey on it is my family like the comfort.
My (limited) understanding is that most serious emulation is done via dynarec these days, particularly past the fourth / fifth gen of consoles.

For newer consoles, traditional interpreted emulation isn't going to be fast enough to be playable, so dynarec is the only realistic option.[0] For the older systems, it's more of a nice-to-have performance boost, particularly as a lot of people now like to play those with demanding upscalers and shaders. (Some older games, like Sonic 2, were designed around composite video artefacts and don't look right without CRT shaders.)

[0] Things get fuzzier on near-current gen consoles, which are more like PCs, and may hypothetically be best emulated with some kind of translation layer not unlike Proton.
> So I’m not sure what point you are trying to make here.

Companies are no more successful with Medicare than they were without Medicare, so simply claiming that it is "directly related to success" is meaningless.

> Tesla benefits because every employer has been paying in.

Your argument was that Tesla was paying lower wages, which was objectively false. Now you're really branching out! This first claim is just a low-effort handwave. They benefit because... the program exists? Compelling.

> Anyone can freely go work in a Tesla factory because they know they will receive the same health benefits at the end of their working life if they go work there.

People went to work before Medicare, and more freely, because they kept more of their income. So the only difference you're actually stating here is that "they know they will receive benefits", which, again, is tautological--the benefit of the program is that people know the program exists. Amazing.

> They also benefit because their current employees don’t need to pay for the cost of their parents' healthcare, which Tesla most likely did not pay for.

How is this a benefit to tesla? Vibes?

> Was your intention to imply that I'm a totalitarian because I'm using a slightly different definition of a word than you?

I was merely observing the age-old tendency of people who advocate for the never-ending growth of the state to manipulate language in service of their goals. It usually takes the form of conflating less popular things for which they're advocating (welfare, etc) with obviously necessary things (roads, bridges, the electric grid, etc) which already enjoy broad support. I don't doubt that you are sincere in your belief that this new definition is legit. (Who wouldn't happily use terms which make their policy preferences sound better?) Yet this is an obvious example of the old trick, which is always worth calling out for the benefit of the uninitiated.
> Or if the big computer says "this entire Debian distribution of binary files was indeed compiled with this version of GCC", you can quickly verify that all the binaries are exactly what they should be - without having to trust anyone.

Any chance you could just illustrate this somehow with a basic example? I just don't see how you could possibly verify that a program is produced with GCC without going through approximately as much effort as it'd take to compile it.
I agree 100%. Ai is just a
New amazing tool.
You're using a different definition of AI than Procreate is. You can tell because no one has ever said generative fill was "founded on theft" (a statement you don't have to agree with to acknowledge the point). So you and Procreate are talking across purposes.
ChatGPT answer: There are *two* "R"s in the word "strawberry."
No, it is not.

When you see a MIT-licensed repository, do you call a screenshot, icons or other image assets "open pictures"? That would be laughable. We don't need non-ambiguity outside of context.

Second, the purism argument is just silly. Is GCC not open source because there's no LaTeX for IA-32 manual, and its x86 machine instruction generator is clearly distilled from it?
> dramatically increased access to creative expression for likely tens of millions of people

This is like saying keyboards suddenly made tens of millions of people novelists and shows deep confusion about what constitutes creative expression.
Makes sense, Texas has lax gun laws, plenty of gun stores and large border crossings where chances of random search are much lower.

However, Texas politics means gun laws in Texas are unlikely to change soon.

I think this is a good illustration of why parser-generator middleware like yacc is fundamentally misguided; they create totally unnecessary gaps between design intent and the action of the parser. In a hand-rolled recursive descent parser, or even a set of PEG productions, ambiguities and complex lookahead or backtracking leap out at the programmer immediately.

Neither. LLMs are just really, really good pattern matchers with enormous set of patterns.
I agree. Exploring this in game worlds came up in a job interview a few years ago :)

ZK proofs are potentially a transformative tool for real-tine distributed systems in general, not just games. They potentially improve laency ("ping"), by changing the communication patterns in a distributed consensus system. That's great for games and other real-time systems.
And one example of scientific experiment is being left out on an open field to study how cadavers decompose when exposed to “the elements” wind/rain/sun/bugs/birds/wolves etc to help solve crime scenes. You can look up forensic anthropologists and body farms for more info.

Not my cup of tea, personally, but my ultimate point is you might get used in something you disagree with. Look into the history of cell lines used in medicine for some of the controversy and perpetual pain for surviving family members, as an example.
When I saw this I was like ooh noes not myspace all over again. I feel this style may actually be a hinderance for adopting more users. People really want something more reactive like Discord. Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it. It is like comparing Slack to Teams. It will be a long time before anything catches immediately up to Slack or Discord in usability. Although I have a short list of things that would be QoL improvements that would make both them soooooo much better.
> You cannot get them to do anything. They only care about how sad they feel and care nothing about the effects their constant bed hiding imposes on all the people around them. It is utterly impossible to get them to treat themselves because... That involves getting out of bed .

Please don't use your anecdata to lump all depressed people into this bucket. I've been depressed for over a decade (diagnosed MDD) and this does not reflect me or my actions at all.
In fact I've felt insanely guilty that my mood affects the others around me. This just causes me mask the depression, making me less likely to reach out to anyone when things get bad.

I guess I'd be what you'd call high-functioning depression. I've lived with it for so long its all I know. I moped my way to school, I did my work poorly, barely passed. Now I mope my way to work and I work and when I'm not burnt out I do a good enough job and then I go home and cry and go to sleep.

I would love to spend all day in bed, mostly because I'm constantly tired, and mostly because it's far more comfortable than doing anything else. But I have enough will and discipline to get up and do normal shit even if I'm cripplingly sad, bored, tired, and sometimes even teary eyed all day.

As for exercise, it helps me immensely! But I have in no way been cured by exercise alone.

>Were men better teachers than women of today?

The teachers weren't men, they were all women. Back in those days, educated women had only 2 professions available to them: nurse or schoolteacher. Anything else was basically off-limits. So schools were full of very smart women who didn't want to be a nurse and didn't have any other career opportunities.
Say whatever else you will, but at least they read 1984 and watched V for Vendetta.
The trouble being that replacing drafts people creating options for the Art Director with AI creating options instead is that it removes a central path by which artists gained skill and experience in their industries (and the same is true across all disciplines). All will go well so long as people who came up the old ways are the ones using AI. Eventually they’ll be gone and all the experience and discernment will go with them.

To put it in more immediate terms: the goal of business is profit. Cutting costs is a great way to do that immediately. It’s only over a longer span that things like Boeing reveal the issues. The goal of artists and the art industry is to create art that moves other people, at acceptable costs. Cutting costs with AI is a great way to do that immediately…

You see where I’m going. Sure maybe we’ll have figured out an entirely new economic paradigm by the time this bill comes due. But I wouldn’t count on it.

And hey, maybe you think art isn’t a career path worth any sort of consideration on this front, and that society will keep humming along just fine when AI takes over in that regard. I sure hope so, because that seems like the obvious conclusion of all current incentive structures.

Yes, the keyboard likely increased access to expression. I can type more at pace with my thoughts than I can write, and for far longer.

Rather try physical movement then and build up to exercise.

If you are consistent for long enough the body begins to crave it and you feel better afterwards.

Maybe walk then run. Or pushups then pull ups then dulbells then weights. Swimming can be a great cardio and total musculature system workout.

Find what you can do and try and remain consistent through the loss of motivation, as that will happen.

No, but agreement with priors is one way one might choose between possibilities.
