This is incredible. Especially the link below to buy the system. I see it unspools at the drone to prevent tangling. How you prevent being traced if some of the enemy’s survivors follow the thread?
You can request Markdown output, which takes care of text styling like italics and bold. For sections and subsections, in my own case they already have numerical labels (like "3.1.4") so I didn't feel the need to add extra formatting to make them stand out. Incidentally, even if you don't specify markdown output, Claude (at least in my case) automatically uses proper Unicode superscript numbers (like ¹, ², ³) for footnotes, which I find very neat.
So the White House (where doge sits) has direct access to anyone’s tax returns. I assume this can be used to blackmail or threaten anyone they don’t like?

Imagine the outcry if the Biden White House had tried to do this, especially because Trump has never (to this day!) posted his tax returns..

Moving to the EU also fixes a lot of privacy and regulatory issues.

I still can't believe the EU ended up with the first official and fully legally protected alternative app store, it would have sounded crazy a decade ago.
I think so - but it would be fun to confirm. Windows up to and including XP still have the AT shutdown splash baked in. I think the splash was dropped with Vista. I did successfully boot Vista on a real AT-style motherboard but I don't recall how the shutdown looked.

One can install Windows 98 without ACPI by running setup with the "/pi" switch, alternative one can uninstall the "ACPI PC" device and replace it with "Standard PC" which should disable ACPI. This should cause it to show the shutdown splash even on ATX systems.
I also disabled this. The reason I used DND in the first place was because I was playing League of Legends Wild Rift on my phone and mid battle my mum would call me, which takes up the entire screen mid-battle, essentially getting me killed.

If my mum and probably others don't get through the first time, they'll try again and again thinking something is broken, until it gets through due to this setting

The biggest piece of annoyance I have with IPv6: it's really hard to tell the OS "here's your IPv6 address, here's your gateway, here are your routes, now don't mess with any of it!".

With IPv4 it's easy to set up a static configuration. With IPv6, the Linux kernel is eager to listen to all sorts of advertisements from the network, and it's hard to say "no, stop, don't ever ever listen to anything except my static configuration".

I can bring up IPv4 networking in a tiny fraction of a second. IPv6 networking sometimes takes seconds to settle down and be reliable.

(I'd be interested in any suggestions for how to improve this.)
Nor on my S20 Ultra. Looks like an app is needed on non-Pixel phones these days (Play Store "flip to dnd").

Well, once you move beyond proof-of-work, the energy use drops 99%. It's not about energy, it's about bottlenecks. Blockchain has bottlenecks, and if you have one blockchain for all the apps, it's going to be either inefficient or centralized.

Back in 2017, I designed a system to avoid global consensus:

>there isn’t enough physical gold or silver to cover everything

What does this even mean in the context of trading derivatives of commodities? Of course there isn't, people financed other purchases by borrowing precious metals and selling them, or trading futures on margin with no physical position. Isn't that literally what this market is?

And, like it or not, it's the endpoint for all holdings of non-productive assets. Lease the metal back to traders and make 1%; hold it and pay 1% in storage fees.
Only a proportion of the full political spectrum is viable.

For example, we know pretty conclusively at this polint that communism doesn't work, which is why the "left" these days is social policies overlaid on a free market system.

I've kept my Android phone on silent for years. I just don't like it beeping and interrupting all the time. I do miss a few phone calls but I figure, they'll leave a message if it's important.

Silent mode and face down really quiets down one's day and puts the phone back in its place as a tool you use only when you need it.
For my projects I just use "Temp" and "Works". Sometimes a couple-words summary, which works as a temporary anchor for diffs. Never found myself reading through old commit messages to grasp something, in any vcs (used cvs, svn, git). If there's a necessity to find a commit, I just blame or log with files. But there's usually no necessity, cause I prefer to move forward rather than digging the past.

Before anyone screams, I don't expect you to browse my projects, even when they are public or shared. Writing this because it's one of the practical ways. I know you don't like it and would fire me asap even for my project commits, yeah dream about it.

The richest city in the US (Detroit) was completely obliterated by unions. Companies are terrified of unions, and will spend tens of millions now to avoid losing hundreds of millions later. Worst part is all those losses don’t even go to the employees, the losses form through lost productivity.

I honestly wouldn’t be upset to see the NRLB go away; it was a good experiment but we now conclusively know it hurts workers.
You don’t really need to track anything either, you can set up a GitHub Actions workflow and have dependabot bump the version for you.
Hi all, new here.

One post below might be a bit misleading -- it's just 18 Msps, not 100 -- so think of it as good for signals up to 1 MHz or so with decent fidelity... And it uses a PIC32, not STM32. It is 12 bit ADC, but the noise floor makes it more like 10 or 11. A cool thing is it also does digital capture and waveform generation at the same time, but clearly it's all pretty simple...

My goal was to be able to get these in a classroom at every seat, where there's already a computer or tablet or chromebook, and have it "just work"... The thing I like the best by far, though, is javascript access -- you only need a webpage for the GUI -- no software install or app store or anything!

To go deeper for the classroom experiments, you can use a different "deep dive" webpage with a command-line UI and log in interactively and take control of all the pins programmatically in BASIC, and even configure the board to autorun a BASIC program on power-up... You can make a "simon" game with 4 switches, 4 LEDs, a buzzer, and about 100 lines of code... Or with a thermocouple and an op-amp and a solid-state relay, you can make a cool toaster oven temperature controller for reflow soldering -- which is how I built all the prototypes... The nice thing is the javascript access on the host comes for free still, and so BASIC can talk directly to the host computer (e.g., running python or powershell)! Examples are here: https://rtestardi.github.io/pages/

I have also had fun with automotive applications for Flea-Scope -- it is so easy to just bring out a phone or tablet and measure a crankshaft sensor -- and without it you're just guessing and replacing components from some diagnostics flowchart...

As for licensing, it is all open source, and anyone can rebuild it (and even sell it). There is a patent on the internal BASIC, but there is also a perpetual license to the software builds I have made and tested and released -- conceivably you could build the scope without BASIC at all -- it is unneeded except when you use the board in "deep dive" mode for BASIC programming.

If there is interest, I have toyed with the idea of making a Mosquito-Scope, with 2 channels and selectable input amplification (for sub-millivolt signals) based on the still-brand-new dsPIC33A, which is actually cheaper and faster than the PIC32MK.

That's generally my assumption, but with some exceptions. What selects for psychopaths is the process of climbing the corporate ladder. However, there are ways to get to the top of the corporate ladder without climbing it.

For example, Larry and Sergei didn't seem like psychopaths. Neither did Omar Bose. Many other founders aren't.

Ditto for most processes with extreme selective pressures (e.g. most senator, PoTUS, many elite academics, elite law firm partner, etc.). People win by optimizing to the process. People with ethics, or who don't cheat, don't win. There are exceptions, but they're in the minority. For example, if you are an extreme genius or stumble on a major breakthrough, in science, and don't have it stolen by a psychopath.

You got downvoted, so I'll provide two references:

* Power by Pfeffer

* Dictator's Handbook by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita

Very different takes, but same general conclusion. Both are respected academics at Stanford and NYU, respectively, with de Mesquita being far more respected, and an excellent read. Power is a bit less so
But you're waiving implementation/design (which is not just particular coding choices) and pointing out how a highly simplified, high level concept is useful. But what makes Kubernetes or Linux useful is that there is a concrete implementation, and that brings all the flaws along too. We are not pressed for time and innovation now, and arguably never were. Do not draw from the vagaries of human nature to establish technical judgements. Most things and people are successful mainly due to luck with timing and reception. Like natural selection, the question is not "is this adaptation good enough to survive?" but rather "is this adaptation not bad enough to die?". First mover advantage, monopoly power, network effect, the curse of backwards compatibility, whatever you call it, technical merit is generally not a primary factor in a project's long-term success. Or rather, making a big relative leap in technical merit against competitors nets success without any indication of it being a big absolute leap as well. Unix had genuine technical merits at the time, and to some extent this still holds true today. But we have also learned and grown. What was good enough back then should not be the standard for now.

> Kubernetes is like POSIX. It's a simple product at its core: there's a distributed global state exposed over an API and control loops to update that state. The complexity comes from all the networking and auth and storage rules that people shoehorn in on top.

We will probably never shave off all accidental complexity. But there are ways of reducing it, and any additional feature will be a burden. So we must make features, but with care for interaction and evolution and, crucially, deployment (if I don't want to use feature X, do I pay for it?). You're right that Kubernetes and Linux aren't unreasonable. They're not far off the mark, and there's only so much low-hanging fruit of improvement. But with the knowledge I have, at least for Linux, I do not accept the current state of affairs as "good enough". I don't agree it is a "good base", but I will say it is instructive. I appreciate that you see the essential complexity of building a Kubernetes or Linux, or a replacement. I posit that we can do better and keep polishing to get a glimpse of that "simple product at its core".

And no, incremental improvements are not the way if you can see glaring room for improvements. There is enough time in the world, but not enough for people to get reasonable progress. And incrementalism limits the scope of changes. It's highly unfortunate that the programming industry/community are too afraid of https://xkcd.com/927/ to make meaningful progress. A fast-moving industry that gets tangled up in its own speed is, in the end, slow-moving.

He has access to the same resources that everyone here does, probably more actually. Instead of retweeting the first "interesting" thing that pops up on his feed, hear me out on this, maybe he could have quickly Google'd/DuckDuckGo'd/Kagi'd/Yandex'd this before he retweeted it.

No, they don't teach "meme coins" at university, but I don't think that's really relevant.

I keep getting gobsmacked by how much misinformation and straight up lies there are on the internet these days. And what's worse is that I keep falling for it like everyone else, even though I pride myself on being so skeptical about everything. I remember reading that last week and thinking "oh, interesting" and now I'm angry at myself for not questioning that more, especially since I worked at a bank.

With so much manipulated information, AI-generated content, and straight up lying, I really can't tell what's real and fake anymore.

I distinctly remember finally not being able to tell the difference between fake and real info during the Allen Texas shopping mall shooting. I went on Twitter to get more info and I couldn't tell what was real and what was fake for the first time because everything was so convincing. That feels like ages ago now because things are so much more sophisticated.
I have a different take on this, only half joking.

What if time is a free variable - it can move forward and backwards freely, perhaps like a drunkards walk? To a conscious being, any memory of having been at time t will be erased when t decreases. When t increases again, but you'll have no memory by which to detect the revisitation.

I know that I just postulated that there is a time sequence by which the motion of time can be described. But that is only to make the idea graspable to our ordinary sense of time.

One interpretation of what I described is the slab model of the universe where time is just another axis and the evolution along that line is fixed. Another interpretation would be that as time moves forward and backwards the state of the universe is free to change. In either case, our perception of our personal timelines would always appear to be unidirectional.
When you're going out of business[1], profits get a higher priority than anything in the ESG category. Like a lot of companies that have been successful for a long time, that will take time. But in the 15 years of watching them lose more and more 'margin' on the search ads business and the commensurate changes they have made to their core product, it doesn't seem like they are going to re-invent themselves.

[1] Yes I know, people tell me all the time, Google's not going out of business! And I've responded that based on my observations it is, not like that authoritative or anything. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18179279 on this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18179176
Of course not; the people who are the most pro-union know nothing about them. If he experienced how dehumanizing and power hungry unions are he wouldn’t support them.

2. their privacy policy is extensive and admits (obviously) they have EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. Your PII and your phone calls.
3. During the trial you are not a customer AND you're giving up your data.

"The American Conservative further stated that a contingent of Yang's digital followers were only backing him for "a fresh platform for surreal and cynical humor" and that Yang had to denounce part of and distance himself from the movement, which largely stemmed from digital supporters of the Trump 2016 campaign.[85]"

I think I understand why, from the article, but wouldn't it be "easy" (probably not, but curious about why) to simplify the first expression to (1-1)π + 1 then 0π + 1 and finally just 1 before calculating a result?
It depends which side you look at it from. Increasing diversity of the group being hired into, means that a potentially discriminatory hiring approach must be taken, depending on the candidate applying.
> Any commercial vehicle operator knows that driving a car around causes its value to decrease substantially, 29 cents per mile on average as of 2018, and will (must!) account for that when running the numbers on their business.

People are always saying this and then you go to KBB. The average car is >12 years old, so let's suppose you're going to get rid of your Prius when it's 12 years old instead of allowing it to become older than average. Typical mileage at that age might be around 150,000 miles. Trade in value in good condition for a 12 year old Prius with 150,000 is ~$4300. Double the mileage to 300,000 miles, it drops to ~$2600. That's $1700 for an extra 150,000 miles, or around $0.01/mile.

$0.29/mile is from new or nearly-new cars which are then resold as nearly new. If you buy a new car and immediately roll the odometer past six digits its value is going to fall off a cliff. But if you start with a ten year old car which has already lost most of its value to depreciation, and then put a lot more miles on it over a couple more years -- which is what most of the people driving for Uber would actually be doing -- the cost is dramatically lower.

Presuming that the people choosing to do this as a profession can't figure this out is kind of patronizing, but, in the common case, not even that much of a difference.
Yes you can. Of course if your crypto is a security you have to treat it as a security, you have to register it file a prospectus, etc., but it is doable.

I still have found nothing really comparable to the Kindle Oasis on any other platform. At least not with good enough user reviews to consider trying.

I actually picked up a refurb unit to have as a spare since Amazon discontinued it.

I would love a modern USB-C or wireless charging version of it. Roughly same size and form factor, physical buttons, backlit, and completely waterproof.

That said since they discontinued that model line I would have no real reason to stick with kindle when my two on-on hand finally kick the bucket aside from convenience.

The Kobo Libre Colour seems to be the current closest option, so we shall see how it stands the test of time for when I finally leave my last Oasis on a plane or whatnot.
Yes hydraulic assist is fine. A skiddie can't hack in and take control. A move fast and break things can't bug my steering. I have lost hydraulic assist whilst driving and there's usually enough pressure left to exit the road before I have to muscle it off the road. And to SR2Z's point yup as long as there is physical linkage I am good.

In the attention economy, what you're saying being true has no relation to you getting paid (and reality is often more boring).

This is what you get for wanting everything to be "free as in beer" and "free as in speech" at the same time in a market economy. Systems optimized to profit from free information have reached great efficiency.
There are a lot of applications that use the same notification channel for important things (like credit card transactions) and meaningless spam (and changing banks is not always possible for reasons outside of our control).

Hmm. Tinfoil hat time...

Musk could use this to get Trump's tax returns. That could be blackmail material on Trump. (And the Supreme Court, in the same way.) He could leverage that into getting an even freer hand to do whatever he wants.

Now who's ruling the country? People talked about "President Musk", but that was just sarcasm (we think). But he could use this to really be "the power behind the throne", with money, media clout, and blackmail material on all the office holders.

Is that just tinfoil-hat level paranoia? Or is it what's really going on? (Or, between the two, is it not necessarily what's going on, but still a real concern?)
Perhaps “benefited from” is a better term. One that doesn’t have an emotional connotation.
