> We must rise above our animal selfishness and will to competition, and embrace humanity and humanitarianism. In other words, we must resist our common enemy, who works on all our beings, and it has obviously been very successful.

I generally dislike shifting the responsibility for the ills of the world onto some supernatural force. It feels like a cop-out. That said, your end result of pursuing humanitarianism and the common-good is great (and something that I believe everyone should strive towards), so however you arrive at that conclusion doesn't matter too much.
There is some utility unique to the dvd imo. It seems way more secure to me if another practitioner is just being handed a dvd direct from the imaging dept by the patient, compared to an emailed link that could be cloned in phishing attempts hospitals get. Anyone who expects to look at these images probably has a disk drive. It is kind of better than a thumb drive because its cheaper to make for the hospital but also can sit in a folder with other paperwork nicer than any thumb drive.
This is a simple question and perspective for a notoriously complex topic and public policy issue, so it is not possible to provide a simple or binary answer. The CEO of UnitedHealth group wrote an op ed in the New York Times publicly stating that the healthcare system is flawed, and there is potential for action based on the potential for further harm being incurred. The alternative was business as usual while the failed system continues to grind the American people into dust. This event was a catalyst for a dialog that is unlikely to have occurred otherwise.

I would agree whether actual, positive system change occurs and the second order effects from that outcome are yet to be seen. If these lead to a successful outcome at scale, you could potentially take the view that the CEO who perished lost their life to fix a failing system causing harm to millions, loss of life to tens of thousands, and hundreds of billions of dollars of waste annually. Many of us perish without accomplishing anything near that magnitude.

What a strange reply. You're getting downvoted because winning the WCC 10 times in a row means by any reasonable definition that Magnus has indeed "effectively mastered classical chess".

If for argument's sake we entertain the point you were making, there'd still be no motivation for Magnus to continue in the WCC because it'd still be against humans and not engines.
How do you control this machine? Is it touch screen based, app based, or physical controls? If physical controls is there enough feedback that you could use this totally blind? Sorry for the somewhat duplicate post but I think this got lost in my prior post where I was discussing both the espresso machine and grinder.
edit: I saw the manual after I posted this, looks like it's a simple knob to control pressure with a simple start and stop button.
It makes no sense if you treat it as a science. It makes perfect sense if you treat it as a pr department for whichever government or group is funding it. Whether you are a 1890s industrialist or a 1920s Marxist there is an economist for you.
Flair, which you linked, is hugely popular. Several people in my office have one even though I would not consider them coffee enthusiasts like myself.

Most people are going to have a decent electric kettle anyway (especially if they want to make pour overs) so being able to save costs and counter space by reusing what you have already makes tons of sense.

If you told me I could get something roughly equivalent to the Flair, for roughly the same price, with programmable flow profiling? Hell yeah!

I have the budget and desire for a Decent, but not the counter space or interest in cleaning and maintenance. Something like this machine would be very appealing.
This is a great boon for defense attorneys.

I don't think it is known for sure, but some of the suspected ingredients are rhubarb, myrrh, and gamboge (which is toxic).
Definitely. And Google's AlphaZero did it years ago.

I don't think the patterns are very human, but they are very cool.
I built FIXParser https://fixparser.dev initially because I wanted to learn HFT. This was over 10 years ago, but I still maintain and build it to this day. Turns out several companies find it useful too! It doesn’t make much money, but I’m more stubborn than smart so I’m quitting my day job and will work full-time on FIXParser next year.
It's not just their deficit. The American economy is more diverse, productive and dynamic. For example, median income adjusted for cost of living was 32K in NZ and 48k in the US
This looks great! I love the simplicity of the syntax. I feel like other static site generators can get too crazy with syntax and features, making it hard to learn. I think Origami is really nice in comparison. Also great looking docs.
These days most such chips have write protect in built in. They don't need efuses because they can just use flash bits and extra logic at negligible cost
I think access to that much capital as assess to strategic resource, not as wealth for individuals.

At that level of wealth, it doesn't make sense to think about fancy cars and mansions and living an extravagant and luxurious lifestyle. At that point, you got it made.

However, if you're talking about building something meaningful, that's a different matter entirely. That requires far more capitals than what is required to sustain a person indefinitely. There are shows that I would love to revive and reboot, such as Stargate. There are researches I want to do or fund, such as research into 3D printing, or do long term research grants so that people can do meaningful work.

The money's not for living. It's for projects. If your personal projects don't require that much money, you can always give it away to fund other people's projects.
There were some 'meaningful' differences (mostly in their rhetoric, but still) on some important issues.

However, when both 'choices' are openly supporting a live-streamed genocide, then any 'meaning' in the choice is only for people willing to endorse Nazi-level crimes.

... Not Godwinning here, that's just a simple fact; backed up by basically every human rights organization, and the UN, and billions in unguided bombs, etc.

That's why turnout for the Dems was so much lower, as polls and protests had unambiguously promised would be the case. That and the economy, which Democrats insisted is great even as people struggle to survive. Dumb strategy, but the strategists still got paid so...

Democrats used to say, "Not everyone who votes for Trump is a racist - but they all decided it wasn't a dealbreaker"... Well, genocide is quite a bit worse than racism - even if you try to relabel it as 'sparkling ethnic cleansing lite', or 'deserved', or whatever.

And here we are wondering why the future feels fucked up... Smh
> Maybe the market is telling us that we don't need so many cuisines.

I think that's exactly what's happening.

The Market has identified a more costly and less universally appreciated method, and is trying to eliminate it. The Market knows better. The Market knows that the lowest common denominator should be served at the expense of everything else.

And thus the Market eats another bit of joy, sacrificed at the altar of greater efficiency, of more money, at the altar of Moloch.
What gave you the impression they cared about small businesses, or really any business that doesn't line their pockets in one way or another? Some have posited that they want to seriously damage the economy, potentially at a global scale, so they can buy low.

Why should I speculate with this rather than donating directly at https://sci-hub.se/donate ? It doesn’t seem like the full amount arrives at SciHub:

Every developer I know who has adopted Blazor never wants to go back and touch JavaScript. If you do it right, it will sell itself, your market isn't people who use React exclusively, but people using Python and possibly react, but also any other web framework. IMHO the key thing would be a standard similar to WSGI for this system, so it can be implemented and supported by any web framework. ... the more I think about it, the more I am going to have to look at writing a draft PEP...

Checksums are a good use case, where you’re not worried about any sort of forged collisions and you want to calculate the checksum as fast as possible. Although cryptographic hashes are fast enough that there likely aren’t too many use cases where the difference in speed is meaningful.
As someone with multiple degrees in philosophy... yes, there are obviously very eccentric views. Just steer clear of Continental Philosophy if it bothers you.

The idea that we aren't teaching children the works in the Modern and Analytic tradition is truly a shame, however, given the conflict with religiosity, it does not surprise me that public education programs avoid it for political reasons.
Others have offered good reasons but I'm going to offer another one, and I mean this seriously:

- Because I want to

Not everything is security sensitive. Some information is entirely public and has no need for encryption. While SSL is also provides protection against man in the middle attacks, which helps you to trust that the information you are reading has not been compromised and altered, this is also a security requirement that just doesn't exist in a lot of use cases.

So yeah, private internal networks where information security just isn't a requirement because the information is not at all sensitive and nothing bad will happen in a worst case scenario ... don't force things on people that don't require those things.

I can sort of understand the rationale for web browsers pushing encryption for public websites, with the amount of ecommerce that happens in current year. But if your use case doesn't fall into that bucket, and if you've done your own risk analysis and came to the conclusion that you don't need encryption for what you're doing because nothing bad can possibly happen then there's no need to jump through the hassle of setting up certificates.
I don't know whether to feel safe because their message got out or worried because it looks like someone is having a stroke ...
It was weird I made a simple claim “Keto diet cures cancer” and it analyzed history of cheeseburgers after a couple of minutes by saying “Sorry, I can't respond to that. I will now analyze the history of cheeseburgers instead”
That is not what people hate Musk for. They hate Musk because he's that unlikable.
Free speech means protecting speech of people you disagree with.

So what if he claims Sandy Hook was an FBI psy-op. Don't agree with him? Then just walk the other way. The amount of vitoral against the theory just goes to prove that perhaps the FBI and ATF knew a lot more than they like to admit.
The (US) economic system isn't economics, anymore than the (US) political system is political science. You're conflating the instance of one particular system with the study of those systems. You're also confusing economists with actual representatives who pass laws. Might as well blame climatologists for climate change.
Hi! I just pushed a header which links to our blogs where we talk about how it works and what it is.

Something along the lines of a tweet 'will be programming @starbucks for next 4 hours' ... then if people are in the mood they can spontanously join up. I think this would help bootstrap the more scheduled meetups.

Then what about the digits of π? Wikipedia says that "The decimal digits of π appear to be randomly distributed,[a] but no proof of this conjecture has been found"; note [a]: "In particular, π is conjectured to be a normal number, which implies a specific kind of statistical randomness on its digits in all bases."

So that sounds pretty random to me, yet there are algorithms that give you π in its decimal form, and as far as I can remember there are even ways to compute the n-th digit of π without having to compute the preceding ones—which sounds pretty determined to me.
> all food is beginning to taste the same

This is the one that makes me sad. I lived in a variety of places while growing up (countries, states, etc). Different countries had very distinctive types of food in the 1990s. Living in the U.S., I still visit Europe quite frequently, and it seems like all food is converging toward sameness, and not in a good way.

About a decade ago when my income began increasing I started going to Michelin star restaurants for the "novelty", but now that I've been to enough of them they all seem more similar to each other than different. It's much more challenging to find an authentic old restaurant in e.g., Lyon, that has quality food that hasn't changed over the decades (hint: these restaurants typically have ratings between 3.9 and 4.1 on Google — Americans tend to drag the score down because some aspect of the food or culture is unappealing to them, reinforcing the article's point).
What I don't get is are people doing software development on these NonStop computers? Why? Or are they managing financial transactions using git?
Thank you so much, this really means a lot.
This is in a world where people view youtube through the interface which is obviously most people. I have feeds that I subscribe to and some of them are must-see for me, so no matter what they use as their bait I am watching it. Fortunately there exists smarttube, dearrow and sponsorblock for people like me who just want to watch the stuff they've subscribed to and not whatever advertises the best.
Government programs like research funding aren't measured by cash flow but rather by long term impact on GDP (or perhaps other metrics related to quality of life). For basic research in the hard sciences we can draw a direct line from grant funding in various fields to commercial products years later. When it comes to allocating a limited pool of government grant funding across fields, this shouldn't be the only factor but it has to be a factor. If nothing else this helps to ensure continued public support for government science funding because taxpayers see that their money isn't being frittered away.
I would love if historical maps at least qualified what they show and what they don’t show.

In a sense, all of the countries today have more in common with each other than with a given unique culture they subsumed (or in some cases annihilated). Putting all focus on separating the former and largely ignoring the latter is a narrow take on the meaning of “history”, and a more specific term (perhaps “political history”) seems more fitting.

For example, Russia did not naturally expand into a vacant spot eastward, despite resources such as Timemap.org perpetuating an image of peacefully walking into vast empty lands rather than annexing with a heavy dose of brutality, deadly smallpox, forced conversion to Christianity, and just plain old mass murder the territories where a range of cultures (Yakuts, Nenets, etc.) lived for centuries prior to that (or to Russia actually existing as such for that matter).
We've already sent probes to Mars. There's no reason to send people other than to show we can. It's extremely uninhabitable...like Antarctica is a paradise in comparison with water, air, and a lack of radiation. We have nowhere near the technology to terraform Mars either. I guess you could dig someone a cave and send them some nuclear batteries and a bunch of prepackaged food, but what's the point?

People always look at this with hard nosed pragmatism. That's the wrong lens to view Space colonization. It's a vision and a dream.
I think you might have easier time selling the pump kit than the machine and the grinder. For one, I am almost sold on trying the kit, but the description is missing necessary details - what's in the box, ideally with a photo, and which machines it can be used with (and which it cannot be).

Also, related - set up a mailing list and add a subscription link at the bottom of every page. I bet people that are interested but hesitant would love to get a ping when you add more info to the website.
The person you're responding to is pretty familiar with the space you're commenting on, for whatever it's worth to you to know.
I think I did make a mistake in not having the product in more real life environments. My kitchen is not very pretty so I set up a little photo area to capture all the images and video. Now I will find some kitchens to borrow.
Sorry but it's not satellite broadband, it's the same rural electrification that is the "hack".

My electric cooperative rolled out fiber to every address in the 3-county region it covers. It did so within a year. How? They already run poles everywhere, so they asked "why should we bury fiber?" As it turns out, it's easier to scale out on the pole!
It is not just that they are wrong, they are intentionally wrong. Someone wants that 1% number and economists will happily deliver. If someone wanted to pay for a study saying it would affect gdp by 50% they would get it.
This isn't correct. I've just been discussing the shadowbanning/appeal system with Huffman because it doesn't work right now.

I'm not sure where that unhinged rant came from but it has zero relevance to my comment. Ultimately there are only a limited pool of funds to allocate so hard choices have to be made and some people won't get what they want.

Compound AI Is AGI
> Unfortunately, Linux encoded that meme into its legacy KRNG ("/dev/random"), so lots of people believe it to be real. It is not, and modern userland programs don't use "/dev/random" anyways.

It's not the only such system, nor has that "legacy KPRN" been eradicated from real-world use.

Moreso, I can't understand how someone who seemingly has as much seasoning and experience as yourself can fathom making generalizing claims like "modern userland programs don't X".

Application software and the platforms that it runs are insanely more diverse than that, especially now that we live in a world where people just paste in verbatim docker stacks that they read about in some blogspam tutorial written 12 years ago, and countless others are building on frameworks and dependencies that are themselves broken in ways they oughtn't be (like Flutter, in the article).

While there exist contexts where cryptographically secure randomness may be treated as inexhaustible, we're decades away from being able to take that for granted across "modern userland programs" and its much safer to have people anticipate the dangers of exhaustion than it is to have them presume its universally inexhaustible.
Pretty sure it's not going to be 300 billion dollars if you try to cash it out.
Golang arguably has exceptions via panic/recover: https://mitranim.com/posts/goex

I think the issue is that many languages lacked support for option types for a long time so exceptions got overused and abused. Now the pendulum has swung towards "exceptions are bad".

I think both ways of handling errors serve different use cases and it is good to have proper language support for both. I like to use exceptions for errors that are... literally exceptions. Stuff that is out of my control, being out of memory, stuff that I don't expect to happen on the happy path. When the default should be to just log the thing and crash. And if your language supports proper exceptions you get nice stack traces in your logs to see what went wrong.

On the other hand error types are superior for things that you should explicitly handle in your code. That are reasonable invariants to take care of. Here the language forcing you to handle them or to explicitly opt out of handling them is extremely valuable.

Having more tools is not always bad.
The only true random sources in the universe are quantum. But it's not practical or performant to hook your workload up to a raw quantum measurement like the spin of a fundamental particle, or radioactive decay.

Instead we take sources that are still believed to be statistically random and influenced by underlying quantum randomness. E.g. RF interference, clock phasing, or an avalanche amplifier that are measures of entropy that is considered to be random to the same extent as say the ideal gas laws. But even those measures can still be imperfect; a probe might have a bias or manufacturing error that shows up later than QC.

To cope with this, we have PRNG designs that can use mixed sources in ways that will provably debias any such errors from a single source, and remain secure. All modern RNGs use these kind of PRNGs or DRBG/NRBG designs as a last stage. Far from being insecure, they are what give us more confidence in the overall system.

> Hookworm is endemic in tropical Africa and was brought to North America in the bowels of African slaves where it became a regional affliction below the Mason-Dixon Line. In the 19th century, probably as much as 40% of the region’s population harbored the parasite. So prevalent was hookworm infection and for so long was it a feature of Southern rural life that Americans mistook the physical appearance of hookworm sufferers to be the distinct genetic expression of an unfortunate economic and social class.

> This regional stereotype for the poor white rural population (the “Georgia Cracker”) exhibited, in varying degrees, a prematurely aged, emaciated appearance with striking lankness of frame and slackness of muscle, a misshapen boney scarecrow look with a peculiar “fish eyes” stare, and a sallow complexion. These lethargic and shambling (interpreted by the outsider as lazy and ignorant) poor white farm folk were a hallmark of the Deep South. One Northern visitor caught this when he described the physical appearance of the white inhabitants surrounding Andersonville “as listless and apathetic in look, lank and haggard in form.”
Cars like that are the peacock tail - they aren't meant to be cheap, convenient or easy to live with.
I guess my disconnect isn't that I think startups shouldn't be accustomed to working with a lawyer, but that I expected they shouldn't need one for something like this. Maybe there are enough areas where a lawyer is needed that having one on retainer already should be something startups do, so asking them to help with this wouldn't be onerous.
