I guess your main reference is Historia Brittonum, the oldest source about Arthur's myth:

These experiments are exactly why people were excited about cryonics, until they realized that it doesn't work on anything much larger than a rat.

You have to thaw them right down to the core very quickly; you need to get the heart pumping or the thawed extremities will die with no bloodflow. There's no way to heat a human's core that fast without causing unsurvivable burns to their outside. (Even the rats wound up with nasty, sometimes fatal burns.)
Have to disagree

These critical features you mention are just nice-to-haves for me and I imagine most people as well. I am able to read and navigate fast on github.com. I think majority of code I read happens there and not in my IDE.

The shortcuts to navigate fast can be quite obscure but the capability is there, out of the box. In particular I like the t hotkey for the repository filesearch (this more often than not removes the necessity to click through directories) and the codesearch is just impressive.
Reminds me of this old website I used to stare at for long periods, found it very relaxing: "Listen to Wikipedia" http://listen.hatnote.com/
I wish someone recreated the fast and reliable VS/VC 6.0. It was so blazingly fast and.. just good. I was SO disappointed with slow and bloated MS .NET BS that I ditched VS entirely.

I did that, too, but I took it a bit further, possibly as a product of not having vision for about a year as a toddler, other than "light" and "dark."

Was puzzled about that too, especially since his solution "find ... -print0 | strings" undoes the advantage that -print0 gives you, i.e. safe handling of filenames with newlines in them (and his "sed" solution straight-up undoes the -print0 completely).

So with all due respect to the author, I wonder if he was just using -print0 after rote-learning it as part of the find command (or having had some tutor implore "ALWAYS use -print0"), without knowing what it does.
Also Britain sacrificed its industry in favor of the banking sector (there were of course other more complicated factors) by refusing to devalue their currency like France did.

Why Being on Hacker News Is a Superpower
> The trouble is that MOND is just not worth your time. [...] MOND is just some wild idea

Sometimes you gotta be wrong before you get it right.

I mean, Newtonian mechanics are "wrong" but served us well at some scales for a while, and that it observationally failed in others led us to relativity. Even "relativity" took iterative steps, from Poincaré's Lorentz invariant theory (or even earlier with Galilean relativity) all the way to GR via special/restricted relativity, the latter name having been retconned because it's only valid in restricted special cases and fails to unify generally. And we know GR fails to unify with quantum mechanics, so one of them (or both) gotta give.

So even if something as MOND were "wrong" and known to be wrong (definitely so), there's still value in experimenting with it to get a better understanding of things. That's just how things work.

The Social Security trust fund is projected to run out around 2033. The trust fund pays somewhere around 23% of people's monthly benefits. The rest of the monthly benefit comes from the payroll taxes of current workers.

If Trump gets the tax cuts he talked about before the election that moves up the exhaustion of the trust fund by 1-3 years depending on whose projections you use.

There are two approaches that can reasonably get Congressional support.

1. Raise the retirement age to 69 or 70 (from the current 67). You could still retire as early as 62 just like now, but when you retire early your benefit is less than your full benefit amount.

Most projections I've seen have that adding a few years to the life of the trust fund.

2. Raise the cap on the payroll tax. The payroll tax is a flat rate tax on payroll (half paid by the employee and half by the employer) on the first $168k of you annual pay.

Raising that cap to something like $400k would extend the life of the trust fund something like 70 years.

From what I've read both Democrat and Republican voters strongly favor approach #2.

In Congress Democrats favor #2 and Republicans favor #1.

We probably should do both. One of the Republican arguments for #1 is that people live longer now, so it makes sense to raise the retirement age. But #1 is only a relatively short term fix for the trust fund.

#2 is long term. In particular #2 fixes it long enough to get well past dealing with the situation we are in now where people born at the peak of the baby boom are retiring. We are seeing around 11k people a day turning 65. It's expected to remain in that ballpark through 2027. With #1 the trust fund should be good long past the time all those people have died.

So do #2 to deal with the trust fund. Do #1 to address longer lifespans (if we decide that your longer life should mean more working years rather than more retirement years).

"Thus, the relevant analogy is buying one lottery ticket in a huge lottery such as the Powerball or Mega Millions and matching every number to win the jackpot."

I like your analogy, but I think it needs to account for the fact that there are two scenarios in which a single vote can influence an election:

1. If it would have been a tie without that single vote. In this scenario, the single vote breaks the tie.

2. If the candidate that the single vote is to be cast on would have lost by one vote withtout that single vote. In this case, the single vote creates a tie.

The odds of either happening are astronomically long, of course.

> The UK remains one of the world powers and the Pound Sterling one of the reserve currencies

With every passing year this becomes less true.

The UK is in managed decline, the entire world knows it; its only brits themselves who see themselves as exceptional.

(I’m British, living in Sweden).
Assuming that this question is good faith...

There are numerous things that might be true, that may be damaging to a child's development to be exposed to. From overly punitive criticism to graphic depictions of violence, to advocacy and specific directions for self harm. Countless examples are trivial to generate.

Similarly, the use of these tools is already having dramatic effects on spearfishing, misinformation etc. Guardrails on all the non open-source models have enormous impact on slowing / limiting the damage this has at scale. Even with retrained Llama based models, it's more difficult than you might imagine to create a truly machiavellian or uncensored LLM - which is entirely due to the work that's been doing during and post training to constrain those behaviours. This is an unalloyed good in constraining the weaponisation of LLMs.
Try both.

Towards the end of the Plague Years, when food prices were going up 4%-5% quarter to quarter, people were most definitely complaining that the prices were rising way too fast.

Some of the prices have started to come down a bit in the past few months[ß] but for vast majority of food items, from staples to high-end ingredients, prices remain painfully high.

ß: in the UK, beef and pork are becoming marginally less expensive, possibly thanks to meat producers figuring out that a number of people are willing to try things like venison, spreading the demand across a wider range of products; this year's olive harvest has been so good the prices for olive oil are expected to come down in about another year; and butter has come down (slightly) from its peak.

You're changing your arguments whenever I address the previous one. Have you noticed?

> Hacker News biases heavily against Trump and Musk

I imagine you're writing this only because you are biased for Musk (and/or Trump). Many people in Hacker News seek truth. Clearly, you're not the one, and you're deciding for this community that it shouldn't seek it either.
Perhaps.

Banks became more important for financing industrial growth, as entrepreneurs and business owners needed more capital. The Bank of England was created in 1694 to fund wars, and was given a monopoly on joint stock banking in 1708.

https://www.thoughtco.com/development-of-banking-the-industr...

Once the great minds of the country understood that there are easier ways of multiplying their wealth (trade, colonisation, wars..), one can imagine the shift in their priorities - from investment in engineering to financing agents of wealth creation.
I mean, academics are allowed have cats, too.
But... why the reliance on investors? Why not bootstrap a startup, and grow organically? Are the running costs really so prohibitively high?
Oh fascinating. This is the sort of stuff that really inspired my interest in computers as a kid of the late 80s. I am sure software of the demonstration sort like this still exists these days but it's far less publicized. I remember watching shows on the Discovery Channel about interesting software as a kid.
The insistence on explaining every successes of the UK/Europe with its colonies is politically orientated, not factual. It seems to be a common trope in India, I'd say intended for domestic political consumption.

The industrial revolution and the birth of the modern economy were not caused by the colonies.

Likewise, the decline of the UK's economy was not caused by the loss of colonies.

Hence a single mention in the article, which discusses many reasons and potential reasons of the decline relative to the US and Germany (Germany never had a significant colonial empire and what it had was lost at the end of WWI).
You guys are approaching things 100% backwards. Steve Jobs didn't ask people on the sidewalk what they wanted! He just gave them an iPhone.

There is a Julia version of the exact same material and is clean.
People thank that 4chan has no moderation and no rules but it has both. The moderators are invisible to users. Posts are and can be reported by users. Moderation action also happens invisibly as the users are mostly anonymous.

Additionally like how some irc networks had a philosophy of hidden ops, encouraging users to hide their elevated status leads to a more egalitarian experience. Moderators can't abuse their position as easily as on other platforms.

There are rules specific to a board and the site itself.
The rules are more libertarian than other platforms but the users modify their behaviour to play within the rules as much as on other platforms.

The site proactively reports illegal things to various national law enforcement agencies. They don't wait until being asked by the police or ordered to by a judge. This fact is probably why it's still online.

Personally, I would like to see an 4chan style image board but with stricter rules of behaviour so that people are less toxic and more kind in their communications to each other.
Gandhi is interesting. Today he gets more attention, but many of his tactics and strategies are already absorbed into our day to day life. Negotiation, non violent communication, many modern techniques link back up to what he invented.

Its also quite close to engineering and analysis in some ways, there were very custom solutions to a problem he faced.

TLDR - Gandhi found a way to neutralize massive weaknesses which would stop typical revolutionary movements by flipping them on their head.

1) India was incredibly divided, and the divisions were a core pillar of how India was run. This was a major challenge that had multiple attempts to deal with the Brits futile.

2) Indians were impoverished, not something you would consider dry tinder ready to throw their lives down in battle.

The techniques used are very interesting because they either negated these challenges, or converted them into strengths.

Gandhi outright challenged untouchability, whether people approved of his choice or didn’t. Given his upper class roots and the way he chose to live his life, it meant that many accusations to discredit him simply didn’t hold.

That credibility was one section of the foundation.

The other foundations were the effectiveness of non violence.

You have a massive divided population, which had lost its dignity and self determination, and would require massive resources to arm and coordinate them.

Non cooperation and non violence flipped those constraints and broke many assumptions of how power operated.

Non cooperation meant that choice was immediately returned to everyone in India. You regained agency to choose.

Non violence returned agency and dignity to people. It meant that you didn’t need a weapon to stand up for yourself. It means that you recognized the weakness of your position, and you still could choose to stand for yourself without having to become what the attacker wanted you to become.

Getting beaten and not retaliating is hard, it means not responding to many base instincts carved into our biology. Standing there and taking it removed the accusation of cowardice and weakness. It’s the difficult choice that makes you human.

But on their own these are moral stands, not effective politics. Gandhi’s tactics targeted the economic machine which is what mattered to the British empire.

He was also very active with the press, during the salt march there were talks with Press every night when they rested.

Non violent communication was born from these techniques. Mandela and MLK both found him inspiring - and both said that there was a limit to the efficacy of Gandhian techniques in their respective scenarios.

In the end it’s the pragmatism and the uplifting nature of these techniques and ideas that I find fascinating.
> they tend to use "is", forgetting that Arthur has been the fanfic of the world since Medieval times, over and over, and over again. You can be certain of exactly nothing when it comes to those myths.

This is super important to emphasize. In its first hundred years, the printing industry made much (if not most) of its profit off of what were essentially trashy paperbacks, pumped out as fast as they could acquire them because there was no concept of copyright yet. The authors tasked with writing that content took all the old history books - most of dubious historicity to begin with - and wrote wild fantasies based around them. The King Arthur legend is one of the most popular ones, probably as widely read as the flood of translations of the classics.

Since this coincided with a large increase in literacy, these fiction books calcified the fiction into legend and pop culture.

If I give you an email address, until it has been confirmed - by means of you sending me an email which I have to confirm I've received by whatever means - it's not "opted-in" by any sane definition.

The way I understand it, the French also loved the tale(s) of King Arthur but hated that they didn't have a role in it because Anglo/French rivalry is like that. So they wrote fanfiction (Lancelot), which eventually became part of canon.

> Why should they not be exempted when we today understand how and why it’s happening and they are following the environmental rules set forth for their operating permit?

So we should allow companies to operate unhindered within (evidence based) rules. Seems like an idea. Let us use that approach for all activities, including nuclear power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_no-threshold_model is a model with scant evidence in the range relevant to operating a power station. Having said that the ICRP will be updating their model within a decade or so, so perhaps that barrier will disappear.
Typically hacking gains you more control over things - seems fair to question if ceding control over the lights in your home to an external service is within the spirit of "hacking". Maybe "rube goldberging".
