I mentioned Loro in another comment which uses EG Walker, do you think they are an example of what you had mentioned? This comment also seems relevant [0].

Regarding your [1], I had a similar idea and I am beginning to think that only something like an LLM or similar can truly merge conflict free because only they are powerful enough to understand users' intent.

I think object identifiers would be better, althoug they should add another arc that does not require registration, based on: (fixed prefix).(type of identifier).(number of days past epoch).(parts according to type of identifier).(optional extra parts). (I had partially written my proposal, and I would want ITU and/or ISO (preferably ITU) to approve it and then manage it.) For example, type 0 could mean international telephone numbers, type 1 could mean version 4 IP address, type 2 could mean domain names (encoding each part as bijective base 37, from right to left), 3 could mean a combination of geographic coordinates with radio frequencies, 4 could mean telephone numbers with auto-delegated telephone extensions, etc. (I had also considered such things as automatic delegation, clock drift, etc; it is more carefully considered than UUID and some other types of identifiers.)
That wouldn't work. There are many people who hate anyone famous and think they are responsible for bad things. They would all use that defense. This includes people who seem obviously good to you.
Please, before you do such feigned outrage at the erosion of norms and call to anchor that overton window, please suggest how one would balance such a broken system as the American insurance regime and the immense pain and avoidable death it causes.

Because all I'm saying is that unbalanced systems are untenable and will seek to right themselves. The classic soap box, ballot box, jury box, cartridge box applies. People losing faith in the courts was a bad thing and its only gonna get worse from here. Deleting that observation helps no one.
Frankly I don't care for individual quotes taken out of context. I also don't care in this specific scenario for musings of individual researches or small groups. Wikipedia definition is good enough for this conversation or basically any public conversation that is not a scholarly dispute, especially considering it basically matches https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism and https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism , today's Russia still hitting all checkboxes.

Wiki, Merriam-Webster, and Britannica already made compilations for us, came to the same conclusion, and I don't see any reason not to just use what they ended up with. I doubt the two of us, or even the entirety of remotely interested HN could reasonably claim we can do much better.

I also disagree with claims about Putin's regime that you made, but feel that it is not worth arguing.
Yes I agree. When I was at uni the best assignments were the ones that could be done simply (should take around an hour) but which offered a path to something more elaborate. There would be weeks a group of us would go into overdrive each trying to outdo the others.

Not always a lot of fun for the markers (who I suspect quickly learned to just guess and move on.)

Of course, while a fantastic learning experience its a terrible work habit. We start to believe "more is better" where as any professional will tell you "less is more".

Right now, I can set up and use Linux in my language, have my display name in my script, but my username and password are ASCII-only and are available on the standard English keyboard anywhere. If I run into trouble, I can SSH in from any device in the world without any issue. I can just borrow a laptop from anyone, switch to English if needed, and jump right in.

Having a common denominator set of characters for such things is just really, really useful. I’d rather focus on all the other things that need to be localised.

If such a mutation occurs, that sequence would no longer be junk. Until and unless it does happen, it's still junk. But it's silly to get hung up on the sequence, or on the word "junk", based on such a slim chance. What are you trying to prove here?
It’s unreliable on any network for good reason: SQLite relies on the kernel for state information on the file system. Two machines sharing one file over a network have two unsynchronized versions of that state. One machine’s write does not update the other’s in-kernel image.

Agreed. Tesla fans are so enamored with Elon that there isn’t really going to be anything that changes their mind. The vast majority of people I’ve talked to who said they won’t buy a Tesla because of him are not EV owners at all. Just democrats.
Yeah I would really like if UUID was just 128 bits of randomness and nothing else. The whole version thing sucks, and my point (which you are right in that the ordering is a little off) is that UUIDv4 is the only good one and the rest basically should not exist. UUIDv4 itself is ruined by the fact that it needs to have a version embedded in it because the other ones exist.
Am I missing something about where this guy is getting money? He posted his bank account, which is essentially empty, and it seems his only current income is $600/mo, which is less than half of his rent. So how is this guy surviving currently?

I don't mean to be one of those people that shout "privilege" at every turn on the Internet, but most people with no savings and barely any income would be freaking out unless they had some family or support network to lean on, which I noticed any discussion of is suspiciously absent.

> If Ukrainians have a right to self determination. Clearly under the same principle that Russian majority that lives in eastern part of Ukraine does as well.

Russians were not a majority in eastern Ukraine. The split was roughly 55% Ukrainian, 40% Russian, 5% other in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, and much less in other oblasts Russia has officially annexed - Kherson was 82% Ukrainian and 14% Russian.

The right to self-determination applies to distinct "peoples". It's not very well defined, but generally understood as a globally distinct ethnicity living on their historic territories. Native American tribes could exercise this. They are a distinct people living on their historic land and without their own established state anywhere else in the world.

This right does not extend to ethnic minorities living in other countries. Russians have already exercised the right and have a country, they don't get to claim any piece of land on the planet that has Russians living there. Russians have about as strong claim to eastern Ukraine than Israel has to Brooklyn (22% Jewish). I think it would be pretty insane to argue that Brooklyn "should belong to Israel" purely on this, and start a major war that drives away millions as refugees, kills hundreds of thousands, and razes many East Coast towns to ground.

I wish HTML supported a concept of a "<PAGE>" tag which will allow multiple pages to be defined in a single HTML file and which can be shown one at a time but without the look-and-feel of a dialog.

Each PAGE should be able to pull in common sections from the same page such as the header, sidebar, footer etc based on specific states selectable in each PAGE.

Yes, you can do the same thing with the current approaches by hiding and showing divs etc.. But if it were possible to support these approaches via specific tags in HTML it may help.

EXAMPLE:

You’re right!

Pay phones used to actually make money and get maintained by the phone company! A lot of money. And a lot of regulation. Outside of the hood, they started reducing the maintenance expenses in the mid 90s when receiving calls was pretty much banned.

Chargers are worse than ATMs, they are yet another real estate tax scheme. The actual function of charging is often not a serious consideration.

This looks very useful. It would work well with Hoarder (would be cool if they were integrated ;)

What if it's so bad it would likely lead to lack of democracy? What then? How can democracy defend itself from democratically electing not to be a democracy anymore? Because make no mistake, this was what this election was about.

It's not hard to find 12 citizens who have spent their whole lives on government VA / Medicaid / Medicare health plans and have no direct experience with private health insurance companies.

Nature tends to select things that are just good enough. If nature was optimal, we wouldn't have appendices that need removal, a backward retina, or spines optimized for horizontal placement.

Junk DNA can be vestigial. It had a purpose. It no longer does. If there's no selective pressure to get ride of it, it will remain, adrift. The belief that because it exists it must have a purpose could be a human bias
Pretty sure Trump won the national popular vote this last time around though? And there’s a strong (politically neutral) argument that Clinton could have pulled off an EC win in 2016 if she had taken Trump more seriously - eg: she never once campaigned in Wisconsin [1].

Going back a bit further, and somewhat tying into the topic of the thread, 2016 Trump owes his GOP nomination (and thus indirectly the Presidency) to a Clinton/DNC op designed to weaken the Republican field.[2] That’s not to say that Trump didn’t eventually resonate with the GOP base, but the powerbrokers of the RNC absolutely didn’t want him and yet their counterparts at the DNC were heavily in favor of putting Trump front and center everywhere.

RV living is very different from living in an actual home (or even Air Bnb) and moving around.

AirBnB’s and homes are located in areas and designed for living like normal social human beings.

RVs are parked in areas that are not designed to sustain long term living.

For me, the idea that one could even lay claim to having "invented" a feature like that is very suspicious. Surely it was discovered independently by several people and the stakes are so low in any case that it just felt like Yudkowsky trying to get technical credit for it by having it edited into his wikipedia after regurgitating it on a popular podcast (or something similarly shady and ultimately petty).

The actions of a man who is insecure about his lack of accomplishments (aside from having money and using that money to prop himself up).
My take: user names are not strings, though they may be represented as strings. As such, a type, e.g. Username, would provide a constrained and consistent range of allowed values, much as a type like float32 allows (within IEEE 754 rules).

It's time for programmers to stop treating everything that can be represented by a string as anything representable by a string type.

The FreeBSD Update client is about 3600 lines of sh code. Not huge compared to some of the other programs mentioned here, but I'm inclined to say that "tool for updating an entire operating system" is a pretty hefty amount of functionality.

The code which builds the updates probably adds up to more lines, but that's split across many files.

Ultimately, electoral laws exist and have a purpose. If the law was broken, then it must be investigated and the tainted election must be re-run. These laws are designed to prevent exactly what is alleged to be happening, so it is not a case of misusing power.

> is invariably more usefully spent elsewhere

Doubt so. There are cases (for example when triggering a panic/exodus or condemning an area is useful) were attacking a nuclear plant is an adequate option.

> group of terrorists once attacked

It was a joke, it was done while the plant (Superphénix) was a work-in-progress, and didn't even scratch the concrete.

> The containment of modern reactors is designed to withstand an airplane strike, which is at least an order of magnitude more powerful than the warheads of cruise missiles or tactical ballistic missiles

Nope, the containment cannot withstand any airplane strike, and many missiles (even without any nuclear warhead) have a way better concrete-penetration capabilities than a plane.

> take out solar panels with a hand-grenade

Indeed, however wherever solar provides a large fraction of power you will need hundred of thousands of grenades/drones. The efficiency (effects/cost) will be abyssal, especially new panels will quickly be deployed.

I saw a great comment on Reddit that conveyed this idea in a very approachable and succinct way:

"it's important to lead your life in such a way that when you're gunned down in public by an anonymous hitman on a New York City street the country at large doesn't react like the Ewoks watching the second Death Star explode."
Great, when are you going to blame the people who are actually, actively responsible? Are you going to start shooting the claims processors who push the button? Or is this just more deranged, terminally online teenagers screaming about things they don’t, even vaguely, understand as usual?

Tesla's sales in China are shrinking, but for ordinary car sales reasons - the competition has cheaper cars.[1]

The disaster in US automotive is that the manufacturers thought they could increase prices, and discovered that, instead, unsold cars are piling up. Tesla's oversupply can be seen from space.[2] Stellantis overdid price increases so much that the CEO was canned.

The US currently has 3 million unsold new cars.[3] One wonders how many will still start.

You can simply use specific training examples that teach the model what you please. Eg. a set of examples which lead ranking/retreival/filtering models. The models are already online training and weights likely updated every ~1 hour ( or even less).

It’d be easy to go from a set of “moderators” who find examples and use it to query related content and use it as negative training samples. Just a guess.
That Intel board article was great. It named names, responsibilities, some degree of culpability.

There are org charts and paper trails for these corporations. Corporations aren't mechanical automatons. They are made of people that make decisions. Unfortunately, they are rich and influential people.

It is nuts that physical reality is subordinate to the law and even worse, the selective enforcement thereof, but that is the nature of this peculiar filter. What will probably kill humanity? Bureaucracy.

Vehicles batteries (plus other similar assets: dams, stationnary batteries...) will be more and more able to cope. Check the average and peak amount of electricity consumed during the night, and the average and max capacity of vehicle batteries (nowadays most cars have at least 50 kWh, about 5 times what the typical home in Northern Europe needs during a winter night, with electrical heating).

At any moment ~94% of private vehicles are parked.

Daytime: solar charges vehicle batteries.
Nighttime (reduced overall electricity consumption): batteries help the grid to cope with the absence of solar-produced electricity (electric heating, entreprises needing electricity...).
