> If you produce less value than the [minimum wage], companies that employ you still have to pay you

True enough, I suppose, but … if one produces less than one costs, a company will not employ one. Why would a company employ someone who produces less than he costs?
A is for Array:

A is for array, some things in a list

B is for byte, how computers exist

C is for character, one letter in a word

D is for destination, where results are stored

E is for event, interaction in the DOM

F is for file, sometimes written to ROM

G is for graph, some edges and nodes

H is for handle, it references loads

I is for index, add 1 as time flies

J is for index, but different from i's

K is for key, in associative arrays

L is for length, as in how many j?

M is for mode, and not like ice cream

N is for count, like sheep in a dream

O is for object, some data and code

P is for part, to share out the load

Q is for queue, process one at a time

R is for reader, I can't think of a rhyme

S is for source, and you're doing great

T is for time, 429 makes you wait

U is for user, like you'll be one day

V is for value, associated to k

W is for word, collections of c

X is for x-component when doing 3D

Y is for y-component like x is again

Z is for z-component, we got to the end!

[note, i am not sure what is meant by P = part, and I know some of these are kind of lame and got worse as I got impatient to finish]

>You are wrong that sometimes there is no tl;dr In the absence of someone putting in the work to make content accessible the emphasis merely falls upon the dr of tl;dr.

On a technical level I agree.

>But how does one begin? It is not with grand declarations or bold, sweeping changes. That would miss the point entirely. Rather, it is with a gentle attention to the present, a deliberate shift in the way we move through the world.

That's a pretty good TLDR right there.

But on a cosmic level, I see nothing more ironic than asking for a TL;DR on how to take back your attention. Showing you have some interest in a topic but not enough to fully read it without shifting to yet another topic your brain runs you to. Thus failing the "gentle attention to the present".

The cost of something is not related to what it is worth to life. In any case the real measure is what someone is willing to pay. I'm driving a 25 year old car because I choose to buy a more expensive house, and put my kids in various activities - as a result I don't have enough money left over to pay for a new car. I do have enough money to pay for a used car when the current one breaks and is unfixable, but I have choosen to spend elsewhere - those used cars provide exactly as much value to me as a new car and save me money. (I save even more money by riding my bike where possible so I rarely drive)
Yup. Conclusion: It's not about trademarks.

you know you don't need tell everyone how you have palter's vlm to look at rel-8-5's sysdcl which has been leaked and hosted on public sites since forever. for example https://archives.loomcom.com/genera/symbolics/sys.sct/sys/sy... rel9's sysdcl is not substantially different anyway, the list of module components is the same.

ams's hyperbolic perhaps point is that genera is significantly SYSTEM, that symbolics contribution is a kind of obvious extension of the grand vision that was already there in its totality and potential in the MIT's work. I think it's a valid argument, which I don't think can be resolved just by listing names of subsystems.

for example you can't just say "oh they replaced tv and window with dynamic windows", because dw uses both tv and legacy, for lack of better term, window. if you look at the flavor definition of basic dynamic-window it uses tv:stream-mixin tv:graphics-mixin and tv:minimum-window. and tv minimum-window is a venerable SYSTEM flavor. not to mention that other systems (like zwei) still use tv window directly. how thick a layer dynamic-window is on top of tv? answering that question require systems level knowledge and investigation.

other symbolics extensions are of similar nature.

Most of this "knowledge sharing on online Q&A platforms" is NOT creative activity. It's endless questions about the same issues everyone is having except the system developers themselves. Much of this is just displacing search platforms.

In the Reddit megathread on the recent drama, someone posted a summary of the IRS responses to inurement by the Board of Directors of a non-profit. It isn't pretty! [1]

If there is insider inurement, the IRS fine is directed to the Board of Directors (each one of them, however many) for 25% of the value of the benefit. If they do not pay in a timely manner, the bill is 200% of the inurement. Matt is the ultimate insider, "giving" the valuable trademarks to the foundation and then getting to use them for free, while leaning on other companies to pay millions. So the insider inurement is in the millions of dollars, per year, for years. Those two unknown board members of the WordPress Foundation? I hope they have great tax lawyers!

Condolences on finally opening an HN account. I greatly appreciate your work even though I disagree with much of it. DuskOS in particular seems excellent.

I hadn't looked at comp/lisp before. It definitely looks like a real Lisp to me. In https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/mem/co... I see that you have dynamic typing, implemented in assembly, and from https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/mem/co... to line 70 you have a garbage collector. From https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/comp/l... I see you have closures, but I'm not sure how memory allocation for their captured variables works; from https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/comp/l... I infer that you are just using dynamic scoping, thus ruling out both upward funargs and tail-call elimination?

What's the most interesting program you've written in comp/lisp?

Jim Woolsey, a hippie and early-ish computer hacker from New Hope, Pennsylvania, was an important and early force in the digitization of the Tibetan language. This interview[0] with him from 1993 is a fascinating time capsule, and interesting in its own right. He was a family friend and I always admired his singular commitment to this important and underappreciated work.

I'm not trying to be obtuse but I am actually confused how a modern machine correctly interprets CRLF based on the description in this post.

If a modern machine interprets LF as a newline, and the cursor is moved to the left of the current row before the newline is issued, wouldn't that add a newline _before_ the current line, i.e. a newline before the left most character of the current line? Obviously this isn't how it works but I don't understand why not.
When I consider to purchase a car, I investigate the cost of spare parts and repairs. Also are their spare parts available from other than the original manufacturer?
It's notoriously difficult for the government to fire an employee. It can also be difficult to fire an employee in a defense contractor. From what I know of Anduril, part of their business model is that they've found a way to handle government procurement differently where they are not as constrained? They may well be able to fire people more easily, but I think they might also do a better job of hiring and retaining talent.

The government outsources things to contractors because they have no idea how to manage those projects. Do you want your mayor as the foreman for the crew paving your roads?

As with most businesses, the government has the money but not the know-how so they need to outsource or contract.

Back in the early 90's when being a millionaire meant something, I believe it was the NYT that ran a piece about how there were a disproportionate amount of plumbers and electricians in that class. Essentially they outlined how it wasn't a huge leap to grow your own small business in that industry and retire well. As long as you didn't snort/drink/gamble your earnings away.
> Cars don't scale infinitely but are also way more flexible than rail lines could ever be

I'm not convinced this is true. Because a train enables more density, it enables more places you can reach once on it. A car enables more geographical area, but there is a lot less things to do in that area, and those things to do are what matters. If you want to go camping miles from anyone else than a car will get you there, but if you want to do a city activity (restaurant, movies, live music, show, work) a train can get you to a much greater variety of those things.

Note that with both the real question is the network. A car where there are not roads won't get you anywhere. A car where there is one road doesn't get you far. Same for a train - I live in a city without a train and so obviously I can't get anywhere on it. I've been in cities with trains and I was able to get places on it - enough that I didn't need to have a car.
Different designs for different preferences. HHKB is quite classic, it’s been around since the 90s and is just refining and refining the original design.

I can’t go back to staggered or flat keyboards since switching to Kinesis Advantage 10 years ago. These days I’m rocking a Glove80 since the Advantage360 Bluetooth version is so buggy.

Still I wish there were options in my preferred form factor that are as nicely built as the HHKB. So I like to appreciate the aesthetics and craft even if I’d never use it personally.

> To date Tesla have solved the same problems that others have already solved.

So, everybody was making electric vehicles before Tesla? This is not how I remember it.
Have they added any method of setting a tool style before drawing, rather than adjusting style after drawing?
The thing that I don't get about the silly Tesla robots is that we literally had the same in the 2000s. It was funnily enough also made by a car manufacturer. It was the Honda ASIMO. Optimus is at best a slightly better ASIMO.

What makes it better enough to make it exciting when ASIMO stalled?
Without Musk there would not be the breathtaking booster catching happening today, according to his biography:

"Why don't we try to use the tower to catch it?" he [ELON] asked. He was referring to the tower that holds the rocket on the launchpad. Musk had already come up with the idea of using that tower to stack the rocket; it had a set of arms that could pick up the first-stage booster, place it on the launch mount, then pick up the second-stage spacecraft, and place it atop the booster. Now he was suggesting that these arms could also be used to catch the booster when it returned to Earth.

It was a wild idea, and there was a lot of consternation in the room. "If the booster comes back down to the tower and crashes into it, you can't launch the next rocket for a long time," Bill Riley says. "But we agreed to study different ways to do it."

A few weeks later, just after Christmas 2020, the team gathered to brainstorm. Most engineers argued against trying to use the tower to catch the booster. The stacking arms were already dangerously complex. After more than an hour of argument, a consensus was forming to stick with the old idea of putting landing legs on the booster. But Stephen Harlow, the vehicle engineering director, kept arguing for the more audacious approach. "We have this tower, so why not try to use it?"
After another hour of debate, Musk stepped in. "Harlow, you're on board with this plan," he said. "So why don't you be in charge of it?"

The recent advance of reasoning in o1 preview seems to have not been widely understood by the media and even LeCun in this case. o1 preview represents a new training paradigm using reinforcement learning on the reasoning steps applied to the solution. This step allows for reasoning to be developed just like AlphaZero is able to ‘reason’ and come up with unique solutions. The reinforcement learning in o1preview means that the ‘repeating facts learned’ arguments no longer apply. Instead the AI is free to come up with its own reasoning steps that lead to correct answers and these reasoning steps are refined over time. It can continue to train and get better by repeatedly answering the same questions, the same way alphazero can play the same game multiple times.

People are prone to either giving Musk too much credit or too little.

Musk isn't Tony Stark, single-handedly building everything. But then again, that's not how most innovations work.

Engineers who worked directly with Musk, such as Tom Mueller, have spoken about Musk's technical acumen and involvement in managing projects.

There have been many rocket programs, both public and private, that have accomplished less with more money. Bezos's Blue Origin, for example, started earlier than SpaceX and had a much richer backer for most of its existence, but is only now hoping to launch its first orbital rocket (and I hope they succeed).

There's more to it than just writing a check.

The new name isn't great (too many vowels in the same place, you couldn't spell it if you heard it) but at least it's original and doesn't sound like it's a knockoff test implementation of minecraft anymore.

Minetest is kind of a unique experiment in how modular a voxel game can be with mods. It's pretty cool. You just visit another server and it downloads and sets up all of the server's mods. You have dependencies and stuff so not every mod has to reinvent the wheel. Much better experience than minecraft modding.

Minetest should lean into this and make the core gamemode more different than minecraft. Change up the artstyle, and make the physics feel better.

Spain still working on the national identity while not reconciling that its two most famous sailors were a portuguese and a genovese. You can see it in claims like these or the internal reframing of the magellan voyage as the "magellan-elcano expedition ".
There is this joke that goes: "A surgeon calls a plumber to unclog his toilet, the plumber arrives and 30 minutes later it's all back up and running. He tells the surgeon 'That will be $500'. And the surgeon replies, 'Hey I'm a surgeon and even I don't make $500 for 30 minutes work!', and the plumber replies, 'I get it, I didn't make that much when I was doing surgery either!'" :-)

But the heart of this is that somehow we brainwashed kids into thinking that they had to be "scientists" or "executives" if they wanted a fulfilling life and a comfortable salary and that just isn't true. If you're unable to find a 'tech job' consider learning how to hang drywall or wire up an outlet and overhead light. There is both work that can be done right now that needs those skills and it can be more rewarding than writing some dark pattern web site that helps a schmuck trick seniors out their money. /endrant

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. You simply don't argue over customizability of Emacs, nobody does, because they know it's futile. If you think anything else has even some slightly better ergonomics to extend the thing, you just have not seen the bonkers level of extensibility what's possible with Emacs.

In Emacs, you can seamlessly integrate a function from a third-party package, say, a command that fetches a url, parses it, performs processing, and displays the results in a browser. Remarkably, you can modify it to send the results to an LLM or another function instead, without altering any other aspects. This level of granular control is complete bananas and only possible in Emacs. For VSCode, you'd likely need to create a new extension, while in Vim, you'd have to rewrite the entire function. Emacs, on the other hand, allows you to precisely specify and override only the desired part of the function. And once again, you don't even have to save a damn file to try it out.

So, yeah, I don't have to compare it with nothing. Nothing else comes even close.
Stoicism explores these ideas. One of the basic premises is that all external events are out of our control and to focus on what is, basically what is in our mind and our actions. Then we should try to discipline our ideas around virtues which are always good instead of outcomes and externals. That summary doesn't do it justice, if interested in exploring further. There are some good books on amazon or check out dailstoic for a quick overview.
