I saw it in several business sections. Is that the the "nobody covering it" part? The numbers a likely due to several one-off occurrences that aren't like to hit semi-perfect status again for a while. No reason given the numbers that it's not a fluke with the history of the previous months.
Hey, I'd like to know more on what you guys are looking to do. Do I DM on twitter?
> wreck humanity but uncensored ai sure does

Care to elaborate how uncensored AI would "wreck humanity"? You seem convinced, since you use the word "sure", so I'd like to hear your reasoning.
Why is it even cringe? Do you really cringe from backrooms stories and videotape reports on yt? Also curious how it compares to regular popular tv horrors. Are these cringe too?
We are hardwired for sex and reproduction. It's a simple argument. Assume there's a genetic trait, "horny" (pardon the language). Some have it, some don't. Genes that cause horniness are selected for, those that do not, against. Nature selects for the horny allele every time. Reproduction is deeply intertwined with selection. Look no further than the duck penis [https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Photograph-of-the-425-cm...] as an example, one of many.

As women are rationally aware especially at this politically polarized and contested time - acting on such instincts have consequences! Pregnancy! That part is not generally seen as much fun by many women.

How I would do it - as far back as the 1880s, ovaries were removed. C-section, as the name tells us, goes back to Caesar. All very old surgeries. So women could have the prescribed number of kids they wished for, particularly if a c-section, and then be sterilized. Now they can freely have sex. Now women have 2,3 kids, not 15,20 at least among the higher classes.

Now move onto the 1960s - the pill. Now you don't even need a surgery and it's reversible - just stop taking the pill.

Now the behaviorial instinct to have sex (side effect: reproduction) has been satiated without the downside. Women are very happy. So now we are simply going through a human genetic bottleneck. There exist alleles instead of "horny" it is "really wants a baby" - now this gene is selected for.

So to summarize the argument:
- breeding has been dialed down for over 100 years. satisfying sex drive without pregnancy, in many different ways over time
- life always finds a way so in the future, perhaps a few generations, procreative genes will be favored versus horny genes.
80s isn't it.
So what you're saying is that the lesson of appeasing Hitler was all in vain.
I can believe there's some benefit, but my experience has been that peer reviews sap productivity a lot - people spend a lot of time on them, and worse, they can cause a breakdown in team trust as people wonder which colleague said something that meant they didn't get the raise they deserved. So while I don't fully agree with the author, I do think it's important to consider the cost.
If your opinion changed 360 degress it would still point in the same direction, just saying.
The ban is very forward-thinking and acknowledging the reality of the situation that China is not our friend and there's no reason to be shipping them our best military and semiconductor IP. They are not going to use it to make US/China relations improve or a better world.

"China" as it appears on the global stage is not 1.4 billion people, it's more like 10 maximum, and the other 1399999990 just do their bidding.

The fact there's fentanyl production and export means the 10 people don't mind it, and 1399999990 were not consulted.

Yes, the huge advantage the US have is the ploddering, bullying, all powerful party. Sometimes I think in a funny way the CCP and the US government both want the same thing - the suppression of the economic development of China.

Ukraine has done more for NATO than any other NATO Nation. No one is asking for any Western country to fight but, to at least relieve the strain of logistics, training, medical help, and shoot down missiles to save civilians. They were more than happy to do it for Israel and it is not a NATO nation.

Kane Pixels[0] is the most popular Backrooms creator by a wide margin[1], and the recipient of that A24 movie deal.

His Backrooms canon is completely separate from The Backrooms Wiki canon. It has none of the prescribed "levels", or any other of the Wiki's infinite proliferation of boring bullshit. It's purely descended from the original 4chan post[2]

Internal evidence is always very flimsy. And relying on internal evidence alone for dating is problematic. You have to assume a whole lot about the authors understanding of events and assuming you know and understand what he would or would not have written.

If 'Mark' was this early, and such an important document, it seems strange then that externally nobody refers to the text or talks about it or brings it up in arguments.

That seems quite strange, if this was a document that people in the 100-150 frame believed was ACTUALLY from this 'Mark' then this would be by far the most important Christian document. It would be use in debates, it would be referenced. But somehow all the Christian we can date to that period show no evidence of knowing 'Mark' or caring about it. Nobody uses it for theological argument, nobody even references it, or quotes it.

So basically you are relying on incredibly flimsy internal argument to give it the earliest possible dating you can get away with and just assume that must be it while ignoring more reliable ways of dating and establishing a proper historical record.

> Eusebius notes

And I'm sure he had excellent record from a time that was 2+ major wars ago. By the time of Eusebius all of early church history is just legendary history. We have absolutely 0 evidence this is true from anything even remotely contemporary.

> or one thing the Christians viewed these sayings as coming from God, so they had a definite interest in getting them right

Yeah if you believe that we have no basis for argument.

The methodology you want to use here is not valid in literally for any other history. Its just a bunch of Apologetics.
I imagine you are speaking of the trend of medium like articles where someone writes a "guide" on how to use a trendy tool rather than a blog post about something someone did with a tool. It is why I usually ignore anything on a blogging platform.

I LOVE reading dev blogs about the journey of making something. I understand the frustrations when you know they are doing it "wrong". But, more often than not, for me at least, I always learn something new.

In terms of those retro "3D" logos I always favored the ones from Sun, Silicon Graphics and Nintendo 64. The NEXT logo looked amateurish by comparison.

Hard drives don't require an ultra-expensive tape drive to use, plus a computer somehow capable of actually holding and connecting to that drive. From what I read, you can't even connect one of these things to a normal computer: they have SAS interfaces, so you need a computer with a SAS HBA just to install the thing, and you only find those on server-grade hardware. You're not going to plug one of these things into your laptop.

A typical SATA HDD, by contrast, can be connected to any common consumer-grade motherboard, or you can just get a USB HDD dock if you really need to.
I really want to dig into this further. Can you share any good resources (pod casts or equivalent I can listen to) that cover the history here?

China didn't have ICBM capability until like 1980. There was much less risk declaring Taiwan support until then, and after that China feigned liberalization just enough to not be seen as a threat.
Read 'The case against Q' book. You don't need to invent a 'Q' if you simply assume Matthew copied from Mark/Luke or Luke from Mark/Matthew.

That is actually a much simpler explanation and in the real world if you were a professor with students handing in their paper, you would assume a A>B>C relationship, rather then assume there was some unknown Q that you have no evidence for. To assume there is some Q that B and C shared, you would need a lot of evidence.

But my large point that you quoted is that these didn't come about as a perfectly finished product to then be used by somebody else, rather there was continual rewriting before the text reached a final form.

> Thanks to his years of anti-chinese rhetoric, I think there's a substantial number of people who gave drunk that kool-aid and see China as adversarial.

I agree. You actually see this on HN a lot too. Many here swear they didn’t become another “china bad” parrot because of the Trump years. But to me, the Trump years was the start of it all for most.

> Programs like mIRC benefitted a lot from the hundreds of megabytes of Windows libraries that the OS shipped with.

Hundreds of megabytes is overstating it. Windows 98 was 175mb for the entire OS, including the kernel and all included applications. I doubt the windows UI library of the day (winforms, gdi, etc) totalled more than 20mb. (But please fact check!)

And, I don’t think browser engines like electron do ship their own system dlls. Dlls are only relevant on windows - they won’t do you any good on Linux or macOS. And windows always comes with those dlls. I’m pretty sure chrome on windows still makes use of a lot of the underlying windows APIs to render content on webpages in a system-native way. It just has its own layer of heavily custom UI code layered on top.

But yeah, it’s cool that applications like mirc still work. It would definitely be a fun project to make a Spotify client or something in zig using winforms. It would be a fun exercise to make something so small.
So you think it is wrong to allow the military to use processors in their computers used in the weapons?

A Friendly Introduction to Container Queries
if China invades Taiwan, there won't be much of TSMC left standing by the end.
Yes, the lever to move the chair would be like a top level menu entry (It does only one thing)
I also have a Roomba from around 2019 and it feels kind of like a finished product. I’m not that interested in mopping. Never connected it to the internet. I push the button every few days and empty the trash compartment when it requests to do so. Once a year I give it a thorough clean. Not sure how any device could do better.
... and this is why those of that are into local models are into it.
I, too, have an older model (2016 980). It only gets confused when the layout of the room changes during vacuuming (ie. a door closes, a piece of furniture is moved). There was a brief period when its navigation skills were less than stellar, but eventually I figured out that it just needed new wheels (the rubber tires got worn, wheels started slipping and the robot was unable to compensate for that).

The maintenance mentioned in the article is very similar to what I do. Dust bin and filter - daily vacuuming. Front wheel, bottom brushes and side brushes - weekly. Charging contacts and other parts that require disassembly - monthly or less, depending on .

The Roomba is a maintenance friendly robot

Absolutely! The Roombas are very easy to take apart and spare parts are easily obtained (both original and replicas). And boy is that a good thing, because you will be replacing parts quite often if you run your robot daily. ;)
It doesn’t work? So no new medications are being approved? I suspect that’s not quite correct. ;) Is it possible the examples you’re thinking of simply don’t have enough backing because they’re either not effective, or they have serious side effects? What drugs specifically do you believe are being overlooked?

It is true that regulating drugs and having an approval process causes new drugs to take time, causes some to be rejected, and that people who could use them don’t get them until approved. It is true that some people could die waiting for drugs to be approved that will be shown effective. I lost a friend this year to a cancer that had an experimental treatment that he wasn’t eligible for, and it’s incredibly frustrating. Yet this has been thoroughly debated for hundreds of years, and what we have is a system that is fairly effective at minimizing harm and maximizing effectiveness given the science we have at hand.

Your argument so far has completely ignored:

- The FDA’s Investigational Drug program.

- The Right To Try Act, and all the preceding debate and legislation.

- The fact that most new drugs developed are not effective and some have very serious consequences.

- The fact that unscrupulous actors exist, and there are widespread and serious problem with fake medicines. You have nothing to say about the data I linked to on the distribution of fake drugs currently killing children by the hundreds of thousands???

If you can’t even acknowledge the basis on which the FDA was founded (regulating drugs was made a requirement by Congress) or the fact that they are balancing competing public health benefits, then your argument will get nowhere and is not being made in good faith. If you want to demonstrate why drugs should be unregulated and why we should suffer the harm that would cause, or make the case for relaxing the regulations more than the New Investgational Drug program allows and spell out how it would lead to more benefit than harm, I’m all ears!

You might not be considering the possibility that relaxing drug testing and regulations could backfire and make it harder for effective drugs to reach the market. Maybe it’s worth researching the history of this debate a bit more?

> OpenWRT doesn't use sysv init, it has something called procd (~120KB compressed). Its very reliable, and they have a large install base on mission critical devices.

procd is only slightly better than sysvinit, it has the same ideas, and only adds simple and incorrectly implemented event triggers. And yes, I spent days debugging issues that it caused.

E.g. a USB drive for the logs becomes slow and changes the startup order, so now openvpn starts before the interface acquires the IPv6 address. Boom, broken IPv6 routing.

> They have not. Individual devices get too old to be supported, but there are plenty of 16 MB devices they still support. Its true that basically every device now has 32MB or more of flash, but there are still plenty out there that don't.

And systemd can live just fine at 16MB. I ran it on RouterBoards with 32MB (the smallest ones available) in 2014. It has grown a bit since then, but it can be slimmed down (remove compressors, auditing, SELinux/AppArmor, etc.).

> The calibration data is from the factory to tune the wifi radios, it doesn't change since its specific to that individual device. I really hate to reply like this on HN, but you don't seem to know what you're talking about.

The entire firmware for WiFi chips that were available during 16MB era is around 500KB-1MB. So it must be some other mysterious "calibration" data.

So you're thinking about more and more corner cases, that require the stars to be just right for the size of systemd to matter.
> As long as back-channels exist to supply the chips to China, then there's less incentive for China to control Taiwan. The ban exists as good politics (we don't ship to our adversaries) while the back-channels ensure they aren't forced into a position no-one wants them to be in.

Funny I was just literally thinking about this a few minutes before I opened this thread.

I think the TSMC restrictions on China is really bad for Taiwan in the next few years. First, it’s a huge revenue loss for Taiwan. Second, it creates a scenario in which China would take military action on Taiwan if they fall behind too far in AI due to the lack of the most advanced chips.

If I’m a Taiwan citizen, I would clamor for the government to negotiate with the US and Chinese government to allow Chinese companies to use TSMC fabs. It’s one sure way to delay military action.
Sorry to hear about your DNS filter being wrong.
my favorite books :p so many things of wonder. just learning about shadoww stacks (and wondering why wruss instruction exist o.O)
I’m never sure how to feel about arguments that take the form of “it’s obvious, just compare to <thing a statistically vanishing number of people could possibly be in a position to evaluate>”. I’m not sure how many Americans in an average group of 100 are aware of the average union negotiation time of a specific German union, but I’d guess between 0 and 1? I asked my German wife and she looked quizzical and asked if I needed her to Google it.

I’m not disagreeing with you but I’m not sure this form of argument-by-esoteric-fact accomplishes your goals. Maybe I’m just uninformed, but as an uninformed reader, I’m not inclined to believe you. Present it as novel information and not something hilarious obvious, and you would probably have won at least one supporter.
I can't blame them. They have become a superpower on the world stage, and they have made some super interesting moves to further that along.

One very notable take is that some assert China is "exporting" parts of their population to ensure their people and culture can grow elsewhere, presumably to eventually have more influence over those places in the future.
What One China policy did the US sign? China has a One China Principal which some countries uphold, but the US is not one of them. Our _policy_ is to acknowledge China’s position but does not endorse or challenge it. Chinese diplomats are eternally trying to conflate the two, saying even the US admits there is but one China, and thus supports China’s position on the Taiwan question, but that is not true.

As for the silicon shield, yes it’s probably a major factor, but not close to the only factor. If PRC realizes its claims over Taiwan and the South China Sea, the entire region, including many US allies, will be under Chinese hegemony. It would spell the end of the current economic order. Japan, Philippines, basically all of East and Southeast Asia would then be trading within China’s new backyard.
