'useful arts' in that era meant what we'd call 'trades skills' today.

'To promote the progress of science (total human knowledge) and skilled technical artisans.'

Arguably, given the pace of technical innovation, and the clear effects on independent artisans, there shouldn't be patents at all. Copyright should also be re-evaluated, and if it still exists (it's so very easy to copy anything these days), and targeted towards maximum cultural diffusion of expressions of ideas within pop-culture cycles (20 years sounds LONG for such a timescale).

Trade Marks, however, those are consumer protection and product reputation issues and call for registered (pay a fee to the government) marks that renew as long as paid.
Throwing in my anecdata:

I had migraines at least once every two weeks for most of my life. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just that 7/10 dull pain in the center of my head that shut me down for 5 or 6 hours.

I'm very skeptical about supposed instant fixes like this. I didn't expect it to work, but I wanted to start getting ear piercings and I figured I'd give it a shot with something not too flashy. I went with my wife to her piercing appointment and convinced them to pierce my left daith while we were already there.

That was at least seven years ago. I haven't had a migraine since. I keep assuming it's placebo and it'll wear off, but it hasn't.
They have not. The title says "formerly" but the article correctly says "formally". "Strix Halo" is just the codename, "Ryzen AI Max+ 395" is a model name from that family.
This is a ridiculous non sequitur.

Things can be shocking (as in: causing indignation or disgust), yet totally unsurprising. In fact, I'd argue that most newsworthy events tend to be both terrible and entirely expected, given incentives and the way the world is set up to work.
I am not even sure this administration is cutting it with the goal of causing populations to rebel against corrupt politicians.

> I think history has shown you just end up starving the powerless (folks in power don't care) and change doesn't necessarily happen.

I know. I was not specifically arguing that it was definitely going to happen in all or even any current scenario. I just wanted to make the case that giving aid to countries with corrupt governments can definitely keep them in power longer.

I am not making the case, that we should sacrifice starving people, in the hopes of triggering a revolution. We just should stay cognizant of the fact, that foreign aid can influence internal political balances between factions. After analysis it might be, that we have to accept helping a dictator by stabilizing his country, if it saves more lives.

I really hard relate to this. The most brutal part is that 4+ days off seems to get my brain going again. I get excited about doing things, I start having ideas for writing projects, coding projects, games, etc.

Then the 5 day weeks kick in and I become flat again.

I am not sure if it is just the nature of software jobs? The level of mental engagement and uncertainty we deal with is pretty high. Forcing yourself to do deep focused work for several hours a day every day while staring at a screen and doing remote meetings must cause some kind of schism. I love not commuting but I do wonder if working in person would help fix this.

> The thing is, after repeatedly getting excited about commercial fusion power for the past sixty years, it's tough to maintain enthusiasm.

It’s very easy if you’re even a tiny bit interested in the scientific aspects. Since we started we’ve had several generations of superconductors, huge advances in our understanding of materials and plasma physics (a bit niche but still very cool).

ITER itself is fascinating if you’re into large-scale engineering and planning. If you are into this and not interested in ITER, I would recommend having another look.

> Explorers spent about 400 years searching for something that they knew just had to be there, but when they finally did it (1957), it really wasn't important anymore.

Yes, it’s a risk and it might well end up that way. Still, many discoveries have already been made along the way, and it is impossible to predict its success or failure without actually trying to do it.

Being required to meet with private citizens, who won't even admit their own names, and being expected to subject oneself to them in violation of actual laws, is not a "what might happen". It is already potentially a crime. It is certainly a coup against the lawful governance of our nation.

Not wanting to collaborate with a coup is an entirely reasonable line to draw.

> A wealth tax would never use a 25% rate because that would eliminate most of the wealth in a few years.

But we're talking about a tax on unrealized capital gains.

A wealth tax has entirely different problems. To begin with, there are major asset categories with no objective way to value them, so how do you even calculate it in the absence of a sale, or prevent those assets from being used as a tax shelter?

Then you're creating a large economic distortion because the tax isn't accounting for risk. A low-risk investment might have had an inflation-adjusted return of 0.1%, but now it's -0.4% and an institution that needs to maintain stability and avoid value loss is forced into riskier investments.

A low rate is also self-defeating. If you use 0.5% against typical assets with a 10% annual return, it's equivalent to an income tax rate of only 5%, but you're still incurring all of the administrative complexity and still have non-trivial perverse incentives. But if you raise the rate to the level that "pay their fair share" normally implies, the perverse incentives become exponentially worse.

> No, the opposite is true, since wealth taxes would penalize ownership through holding companies, and a wealth tax would also apply to foreign nationals owning U.S. assets.

So now you're back to applying the tax to everyone's retirement account and not just "billionaires" and have given domestic businesses a competitive disadvantage in attracting foreign investment.

You want foreign investors to give you their money because otherwise they invest in competing companies in other jurisdictions. What you don't want is for them to get a controlling interest in your companies at a discount.

> In many U.S. states (and especially a number of so-called "business friendly" red states), businesses already pay the equivalent of a wealth tax on top of their property taxes.

And those taxes cause existing problems for them, e.g. companies then avoid setting up capital-intensive businesses in those jurisdictions. See also Land Value Tax debate.

In How Big Things Get Done the author Bent is an advocate of reference class forecasting, which is basically what OP describes.

Bent, who studies megaprojects, who goes on to say that the big mistake everyone makes when coming up with estimates is to think that their project is "special". People come up with a million reasons why their project is unique, and then they produce an incorrect estimate because they try to consider each facet of the project and add or subtract time based on it.

In contrast, reference class forcasting "bakes in" all the various factors and averages them. If you're trying to build a house and want to estimate how long it will take, take the average time it takes to build a house of similar square footage in your state. This will factor in things like risk of a storm causing delays or cost overruns, and you don't have to consider that or other unknown unknowns.

If you think some aspect is important, find a reference class that can index on that aspect. The estimate you produce will be more empirical and data driven that way.

That's not always possible. The real world is changing all the time. The article has a nice section at the end about "unknown unknowns".
Bonuses have to be paid out on or by March 15th for tax and accounting reasons. A lot of bonuses require employees to still be employed as of the date of payment, so a lot of companies fire employees in February or early March (after bonus amounts have been determined) so that they don't have to make those payments.

This is why so many game studios fire employees in the Spring (see, for example, the last several years of video game layoffs all heavily concentrated in the first 3 months of the year).

More insidiously, at some companies, the executives redirect the bonuses that would have gone to the laid-off employees toward themselves. That's fairly rare but it does happen, especially with game studios based out of a certain part of the world.

>Source 2 replaces everything with in-house developed alternatives

Do you have a link for this? I know the sound system is theirs as they open sourced it.[0] What about physics?

Also, I agree that they should open source Source 2 if possible. They gain almost nothing by having it closed source and gain a lot by giving developers a better deal than Unreal because more money saved on the engine means either cheaper or better/long games. (At least assuming both engines are equivalent which they are not, but in theory.) Meanwhile Epic is using Unreal as a carrot for developers to release their games in Epic Store.[1]

> HN users wanting to preserve HN for its intended purpose of intellectual curiosity

Curiosity is sustained and long term. Curiosity is being willing to understand things completely.

What you're arguing for is novelty and distraction. That is shallow thinking, not curious thinking.

A month ago after Musk's fascist salutes you said, "This sort of flare-up always feels absolutely critical in the moment—how can one possibly justify not dropping everything to orbit around it?—and then vanishes. Their half life is so brief that I'm surprised people don't notice how ephemeral they are. They come in an endless sequence, and they aren't what HN is supposed to be for. They're also not that hard to resist; it's not as if this is a borderline call."

You were clearly wrong. It hasn't vanished. You should be curious about that.

In four months Y Combinator will hold an AI Startup School event with speakers including Musk: https://events.ycombinator.com/ai-sus

Bias is a real problem in AI systems. Will you be at the event? What questions will you put to Musk about his biases and how they will be reflected in Grok?

Be curious. Ask those questions.

That's astounding, I've never heard anybody claim that the reactors would be simpler before! Do you have any estimates of anybody working on the problem that thinks that?

Every schemer I have ever seen is quite a bit more complex than a fission reactor. Often, designs will depend on materials that do not yet exist.

That said there is a tremendous variety of techniques that fit under the umbrella term of "fusion," so I'm hoping to learn something more.
As someone who used mod TF2 on the server side, this is fantastic. I've spent countless hours analyzing the binaries in IDA and now you can just open github. This will definitely accelerate new features and bugfixes from the community.

It's about damn time, really. The TF2 source code has already leaked twice. And a group even made a cloned version of the game in an earlier version of the engine. The community support this game still has is massive.

It's the historical data that makes it work. Collect all that data, compute median and standard deviation, and estimate as median plus one sigma or so as a safety margin.

There's outside monitoring. The completion bonding company will usually have someone on set watching every day, checking expenditures and progress.. "The completion bonder usually has a right of approval of the producer, director, and lead cast. These are not creative approvals. Rather, such approvals relate to reliability, tendency to cause over-budget results, history of substance abuse or other personal habits that have raised other issues as to reliability. ... Completion guarantors keep track of the on-budget track record of producers and directors and, it seems, cross-check with each other as to substance abuse or other extreme conduct relating to actors".

It's not that they need every single detail. Changes can be made during production. It's expensive changes that are a concern. Directors who tend to make expensive changes during production are known to completion bond companies, and that gets priced into the estimate. Not necessarily rejected, but priced in.
It's more complicated than that.

For me, executive disfunction is the most significant issue; and that compounds the problem of limited working memory by wasting it on irrelevant stimulus.
