The main issue with this line of argument is that you don't see people who like other interpretations claiming quantum computers won't work. Saying quantum computers imply many worlds is the classic mistake of wanting to show A=>B and arguing B=>A instead of ~B=>~A. If quantum computers were inconsistent with collapse interpretations, you'd expect people who think collapse interpretations are correct to be confidently predicting quantum computers will never work. But they don't; they just think the state inside the computer isn't collapsing.

I'm often tempted to argue quantum computers at least clearly favor ontic interpretations (ones where quantum states are real). Because good luck computing things by subjectively having a computer instead of actually having a computer. But, as far as I know, you don't see quantum-bayesianism-ists having any qualms with quantum computers. I think because if you're already biting the bullet of interpreting diagonally polarized light as subjective, and Bell tests as subjective, then interpreting a computation as subjective isn't fundamentally different. It's just more in your face about it.
I can rephrase it then to they owned themselves in this case by being so damn gullible, thus further entrenched power given to the insurance industry.
That is very helpful. I particularly appreciate the carefully written text.

I think the second figure, captioned "Stem with a single leaf child" has a mistake, with the line down from the triangle descending to a square. But that square should be a circle.

> the more it hurts any notion of a 'physical collapse' suggested by some copenhagen branches

Why? The mathematics of quantum mechanics describes perfectly well what is going on in these systems, to exactly the same level of accuracy. There is no predictive difference between Copenhagen and Everett interpretations.

This is a philosophical argument, not a physical one.

I'm making a fiction podcast (that actually launched on HN) that is now earning ~$1100 USD monthly. I just wrote the latest report documenting how I got there, which you can find and discuss at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42380474
It looks like you asked a few months ago [1] and nobody seemed to know. The last archive.is snapshot is from 2021 [2]. I had never heard of the site. Someone is still paying for the domain and have the DNS at Amazon. Their MX points to "localhost.admin.com" and that does not have any A records. The sub-domain book.admin.com does not have any A records either. Their SPF record states they do not send email. The domain registration expires 2031-11-16T05:00:00Z. Just guessing but maybe they lost whomever was supporting it and did not want to lose their Google ranking?

It appears that domain was primarily used to promote a book.

This reminds me of VIM - and after quite some time I believe that all VIM users will agree that adding NeoVIM to the ecosystem improved VIM itself. VIM 8 addressed over half the issues that led to the NeoVIM fork in the first place - with the exception of the issue of user contributions, of course.

There's a checkbox you can toggle so that Openai doesn't use your code to train their models.

And I find the "chatbot" experience different and better than aider/copilot. It forces me to refocus on the really useful interfaces instead of just sending everything, and makes it better to verify everything instead of just accepting a bunch of changes that might even be correct, but not what I exactly want. For me, the time spent verifying is actually a bonus, because I read faster than I can type. I think of it as a peer programmer who just happens to be able to type much, much faster and doesn't mind writing unit tests or rewriting the same thing over and over.

Why is there no git-light VCS, with only the top 5-8 commands available? Push, fetch, commit, merge, rebase, branch, init... maybe I forget 1 or 2.

There’s so many of these sales engagement products that the only way to stand out it seems is to be the loudest. Many of these companies also spam a lot of Reddits with fake reviews. Not a novel concept, here’s a bunch more:

Quickmail
Salesforge

There’s a new one every day because the last one got banned/isn’t effective anymore. There’s a ton of leads agencies that gobble these up sending out tens of thousands of emails every day using the latest incarnation of this spamware, creating new domains and warming them up with fake emails to each other and now using LLMs to “personalize” the emails (i.e. the “AI”) all in the attempt to evade spam filters. I get several of such emails every other day shilling their agency.

If you've gotten cold or recruiter emails in the last few years where it looks like the person is just talking to themselves in your inbox with 6 different follow ups, it's probably thanks to one of these tools.

Definitely a good point, and one of the reasons I have historically avoided services that offer tax loss harvesting. They get you in the door with solid tax losses for the first few years, and then just as the tax losses start to dissappear, you realize you own 500 different securities, and switching anywhere else is basically impossible.

Double has low fees, so if there is also a way to port out and still maintain the tracking via another service, it starts to become interesting.
So a hard fork?

https://FreeSolitaire.win brings around $500/mo in advertising revenue. It’s a Klondike Solitaire PWA (progressive web application).

I started making it in 2016 and I’ve been slowly iterating on it over time. It has stayed minimal & lightweight, on purpose. No framework, no cruft, no obtrusive ads.

Fun fact: because it’s so lightweight, it was included in 2020 in Moya (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.bi.moya), a popular messaging app in South Africa that is “data-free” for users (it does reverse-billing). Now ~40% of players are South Africans!

As I already said, I’m a fan of static typing so you dont have to sell me on it. Static types are great for editor tooling, automated refactoring, documentation, catching trivial errors and typos as you type, and all-round sanity checking.

I’m just pointing out that static typing does not replace any tests. At least not any test which a reasonable developer would write. What competent developer would write a test that only verifies that sqrt outputs a number, but not compare the output to an expected value? But such a strawman test is the only kind of test static typing would make obsolete.

They took your factual statement of Simpson's paradox being able to drive one global summary (lower overall scores - a bad thing) counter to the local summaries (increased scores by all groups - a good thing) explained by shifting population proportions as you "blaming immigrants" for the bad outcome when the logical extension of your statement is "hold on, we may have a good thing going on".

I find that I use LLMs now to probe into areas that I'm curious about or want to find new hints to follow-up on. That's way more instructive and being interactive, more memorable than reading endless shallow blog posts. One thing I do is be critical of post writings or LLM output. Look deeper until you either find weaknesses or internalize its correctness/effectiveness.

I still read HN stories to find those once-in-a-while posts that are both deep and relevant to my interests or work.
Quantum computers do defeat hidden-variable models, which would have to hide the computation somewhere. But yeah, Bell and EPR ruled those out years ago anyway.
I’m sure you never do anything because it’s enforced by the systems you are a part of. Always an independent thinker, looking out for your personal integrity.

I'm not saying it is a purely empirical argument, hence my extensive mention of metaphysics. There are many, many, many theories that can match existing observation, such as superdeterminism or superdeterminism where there is a human-form God right outside of our causal observable universe that is using some magical force to determine where all particles are.

The principle of parsimony, imo, favors an everettian explanation - and constructing larger contraptions with QM effects puts increasing parsimony pressure on why observers like humans are not simply getting entangled with the system they are observing when we see 'collapse.' The mathematics of QM does not describe collapse or how that occurs from wavefunction evolution or why observers are relevant.

It’s motivation.

Kids aren’t stupid. They see their elders (Millennials) outperform in school, all go to college, get buried in student debt, and then have no jobs or money to show for it.

When it comes to making a memecoin and shilling it for a quick $50k in profit, you’d be amazed at how many subpar students can very quickly master some pretty complex technologies if there’s a quick buck involved.
Eh, Apple is like the company that moved their supply chain overseas. And essentially made industries, and Tim Cook CEO, because of it.
It's a difference only insofar that in many jurisdictions their claim that it's public domain has no legal value. If it was truly public domain (e.g. if the authors were long dead) it would be open source. But far from all places allow you to arbitrarily put things in the public domain.

I'm a bit puzzled why SQLite doesn't solve this trivial issue by claiming the code is CC0-licensed. CC0 is made just for that: a very wordy way to make it as close to public domain as possible in each jurisdiction.

On the other hand, hobbyists won't care. As long as you trust them in their intention to have it open source they won't sue you for infringement either. And if as a company you need more assurance than "it's public domain" they are so nice to sell you a fancy legally-satisfying piece of paper for an undisclosed price. It's a subtle but clever way to get income from users with too much money
There seems to already be significant competition in the low cost ETF space. For example, Schwab’s broad based s&p ETF (SCHB) has $34b AUM.

The fact that there exists a competitive market suggests that there’s a good reason expense ratios can’t drop much further than .03%. Presumably, once you reach a certain size, there are costs associated with managing a low cost etf strategy that the end investor actually wants to pay for.

What makes you think you can beat these market rates in a way that is truly accretive to investors? Put another way, what is Schwab wasting money on that you won’t?

I doubt Schwab is just being greedy with their .03% fee. It’s necessary to cover their costs.
Nearly every example of futurism I’ve seen in my 40+ years of looking at future technology has been people over accounting for scaling rather than ignoring it.

For example they see a prototype and then assume in 10 years everyone will have one.

Or they look at a proof of concept and don’t realise that that last 10% of refinement actually takes 90% of the effort.

What people usually miss is that scaling is the problem, not the solution. Prototypes are easy in comparison.

Insurance companies aren't the main villain of the U.S. health system

Not an expert in this but I know that ever since I retired and opted to not have insurance everything is cheaper. I tell people I am paying cash and they need not argue with any insurance companies and I get a look of relief from whomever I am speaking with. The local pharmacy said they would give me a 20% discount on every prescription including generics. I did not even ask for one. I only state that to increase the probability I get what I want.
Is it possible the author means they lumped blue in with another color, like green or purple, and didn’t differentiate it as its own color? Like how this list of Medieval colors also didn’t list orange. I assume orange was lumped in with red or yellow.

No one's saying public domain isn't useful. You're replying to a comment that's specifically and solely combatting the idea that public domain means open source.
Agreed! Rewriting in Rust (or any other language) is not required for those features. A fork and modifying the existing C code could also result in those features (and I might do just that if it doesn't come around soon).

> Fast Rust demands considerably more thoughtfulness from the programmer (at least for me).

While fast code requires thoughtfulness regardless of the language, I think rust lets you focus on the fast aspect more because rustc ensures _some_ safety and correctness.

I can write fast and very unsafe C code fast, but I write code that just as fast , but safer in rust faster than in C.
I believe that the original reason why they didn't just say "you're not allowed to provide this program as a service" is that MongoDB were trying to get SSPL approved by the OSI. The OSI didn't approve it because as you mention, it's basically impossible for a cloud provider to actually attempt to comply with the SSPL. Not only would they have to release the code to all software used to make the program available, they would have to do so under the SSPL. I'm not sure why MongoDB didn't change the wording when they gave up on getting the license classified as "open source".
> The basic premise, as I understand it, is that there is nothing illegal about coming to the wrong conclusion as a juror

Note that this works regardless of which direction the wrong conclusion is in.

People always talk about it in the case of a juror voting to acquit someone when the evidence is that they are guilty but juror choose to disregard it, but historically it often went the other way. There's a long history of black people in the US, especially in the South, being convicted by all white juries that almost certainly would not have convicted on the exact same evidence if the accused has been white.

I don't know if there is a name for this, so I'll call it reverse-nullification, with nullification just referring to the case of acquittal of someone despite the evidence.

Unlike a nullification case, an reverse-nullification case is in theory correctable. A nullification case is not correctable because an acquittal by a jury cannot be reversed by the judge or an appeals court. A judge or appeals court can reverse a conviction so could correct an reverse-nullification case.

However, as a practical matter that often cannot actually be done because often the judge or appeals court cannot tell that it was an reverse-nullification case. A case often comes down to conflicting stories from witnesses with the jury having to decide which witnesses to believe. The conviction may have been an reverse-nullification or it might just have been that the jury found the prosecution witnesses more believable.
An SQLite fork will have a hard time being compelling enough to draw users away from the main project. Being written in Rust is the most compelling reason that I could think of. SQLite has many annoying quirks (foreign key constraints disabled by default and non-strongly-typed columns are my two pain points) but a fork that addresses them would still not pull me away from the original project that I have so much trust in.

I read the text: it's license hermenuetics at best and FUD at worst. Has there been a single instance in recorded history of the author of a public domain work trying to enforce usage, modification, or distribution permissions. Sure, you can point to theoretical variation in the precise semantics of the public domain in various jurisdictions, but it feels like a bar exam puzzle, not a real world practical concern. In the real world, you can safely do whatever you want with public domain software. It counts as free software. That half the planet nowadays uses SQLite and treats it as free software is testament to this reality. Obscure license pedanticism just doesn't inform the choices of anyone actually building.
