Rachel has a weblog, she writes articles, I used to come to her blog to read them, I am not a customer of any of her services.

Now that she blocks users by their origin - I see she has no problems with being discriminatory. That's a shame, I thought of her a bit higher than that.

Comments of this quality are getting frustrating.

The grand parent post clearly stated it is the poster's "rule of thumb". By definition they are aware that the rules are [likely] "not mutually exclusive". Starting with "these are not mutually exclusive", is what makes this comment so unnecessary. Don't be proud of having listed exceptions to someone's rule of thumb.

Had you started with, "I like that; these are a few exceptions I've observed to your rules that I find interesting", that would be a productive way to start a conversation.

But starting with "these are not mutually exclusive" makes you seem like an ass for having pointed at an exception to something that by definition has exceptions.

> they had no rebuttal when I asked about border agents seizing official refurb apple parts as "counterfeit" or Microsoft jailing someone trying to keep old PCs out of landfill... Or the concept of IP as a whole and the John Deere tractor example someone else replied to me with in this thread .

They have no rebuttal because you're now making their own arguments. Regulations that allow those parts to be seized or those people to be jailed should be repealed.

In general the libertarian position is that problems like this would be solved by competition if there weren't government regulations stifling competition. And they're often right. DMCA 1201 impairs adversarial interoperability and therefore competition. Trademark law is meant to be about consumer protection and accurately representing the source of goods to the consumer, not enabling price discrimination by putting up trade barriers to cross-border arbitrage.

But a lot of those bad laws, they're federal. So if all you have control over is a state legislature, and those laws exist and have impaired competition and the state legislature can't remove federal laws, you then have to ask what they can do about the problems caused by those laws, until such time as we can get them repealed at the federal level.

If you want a fun compromise, pass a right to repair bill that only applies to companies with more than a billion dollars in revenue (but using the largest entity in the supply chain, so you can't just use a small business as a middle man to get out of it). That's going to make it apply to any of the relevant companies, but then if you ever managed to actually make those markets competitive enough for smaller businesses to be viable, you don't have yet another rule stacking on more barriers to entry for small businesses.

Are we living in a world where while only 70% of the working population is employed everyone's needs and material desires are met? If yes then the unemployed have no need to justify their sustenance. If no then there is more meaningful work to be done.

Big difference between no one needs anything done, and no one needs what I do done.

You don't want all that code in one file anyway. Have Claude write the code as several modules. You'll put each module in its own file and then you can import functions and classes from one module to another. Claude can walk you through it.
You can sign a contract with Anthropic that fully bakes their promise not to train on your input.

You can also access Claude via both AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex, both of which come with very robust guarantees about how your data is used.
Loved Irfanview, switched to ImageGlass for aesthetics (hated the performance), switched back to Irfanview, hated how ancient it felt.

Electro aims to do what an image viewer should do best - show images. There aren't any UI elements when an image is first loaded - hence the hidden terminal (pack a lot of functionality without worrying about visual clutter).

I have been carefully thinking about the direction I want to take with UI elements. The goal was to build the fastest & most efficient image viewer. Will I achieve this through clickable UI elements? Through keybinds only? Through terminal? Only time and testing will tell.

The project is fresh out of the oven and ready to be moulded into whatever the community wants it to be. The two mantras Electro will always stand by are Performance & Efficiency.

Thanks for the thread - loved reading everyone's thoughts.

P.S JPEGView was by far my favourite but again, too ancient. I want something truly fresh and that was the goal of this project

There are slot machine mechanics in tons of videogames that dont have 18+ ratings because they don't cost real money to play

Hell, the very first Pokemon games on the Gameboy 30 years ago had slot machines.

Surely not. That would be absurd.

That's even worse than being discriminated for skin color.

Withholding has everything to do with it. Why do you think $10 an hour comes down to 1200 instead of 1600/month?

You can choose to withhold more or less, but the default taxation on w-2's do generally give a bit of a refund. Better to take out too much when you don't need it than slam down a gigantic bill when at once a year later.

I've reached out to a few of the core participants from back in the day, and also the Boulder Linux User's Group organizer, and it's not looking like it's currently active.

However: I'd encourage you, and even help you, with getting one set up again. It's Reeeeal easy. The Boulder one was largely attendees from the Boulder Linux Users Group, and it was on the same day of the week as the BLUG meeting, just the remaining Thursdays of the month. We'd just pick a coffee shop that was open suitably late and had reasonable seating, and then announced it at the BLUG meetings and also on the mailing list. The BLUG mailing list seems to be defunct, but I can probably get someone to announce it at the meeting if you're interested.

I do have an ex attendee that moved to north Longmont and was interested in something in that area, if that's a geography you're interested in.
Wow, this brings back memories...

I recall investigating a similar issue as an child sometime 35 years ago. I suspect this bug explains more of what happened way back when. Somehow I'd overwritten our hard disk's boot files and boot sector with some DOS 3.1 or 3.3 files copied from a disk and then running sys.com. I'm guessing that we triggered another path to this same bug (but without netdrive), because something splatted the bpb and made the disk not boot properly.

I recall that we got it back by patching the BPB with debug.com, specifically with the F8 media descriptor byte and the next couple of bytes indicating the size of the drive.
>Operating transistors outside the linear region (the saturated "on") on a billion+ scale

The whole point of switching transistors is that we _only_ operate them in the fully saturated on or totally off IV-curve region?

Subthreshold circuits are commercially available, just unpopular since all the tools are designed for regular circuits. And the overlap between people who understand semiconductors and people who can make computational tools is very limited, or it's just cheaper to throw people+process shrinks at the problem.
In fact I don't think he believes in the takeoff of AGI at all, he just can't say it plainly.

Yes usually most of the topics covered in undergraduate studies are well documented and understood and therefore will likely be part of the training data of the AI.

Once you get to graduate studies that's where the material coverage is a little more sparse/niche (though usually still not groundbreaking), and for a PhD. coverage is mostly non-existent since the point is to expand upon current knowledge within the field and many topics are being explored for the first time.
You are missing the point.

Do your alarms not have an actual - you know - alarm? Or won't the alarm go off if it can't phone home first?!

Here in the UK the alarms make a noise as the absolute minimum. Getting one that is "monitored" by a call center is not standard, especially one that calls the cops if it goes off or a panic button is pressed.

You can get those of course, but it costs extra. I pay something like £40-50 a month for the panic button service that will summon the police, but even then the police won't be summoned if just the alarm goes off without a panic button getting pressed (you can get that, but it is even more expensive)

For a long time, the best Thai restaurant in New York State (in my, and many others', opinions) was called simply "Thai Cuisine".
They don't use that one very much because the difference in energy efficiency between a five year old device and a ten year old device is generally negligible, whereas the ecological consequences of throwing away an entire device and having to build a whole new one are something they don't want to be reminding people about by bringing it up.

The way that expert programmers make these same mistakes is by introducing a few layers of abstraction. Here's a real CVE from Microsoft: https://msrc.microsoft.com/blog/2019/07/we-need-a-safer-syst...

> This bug is possible because of how many complex APIs interact with each other and the programmer not being able to enforce ownership of memory throughout the codebase. At [0], the program gets a pointer to a buffer owned by a JavaScript object. Then at [1], because of the language complexity, to get another variable, it might execute more JavaScript code. At [2], it will use the buffer and width to create a new JavaScript object with the contents of that pointer.

So to adapt that example, the way an expert programmer in a complicated codebase might end up invalidating an iterator, could be by looping over a list that user-provided scripts are allowed to modify, and then accidentally re-entering script code in that loop. It might take a really contrived script to exploit the bug, but such is life in the browser/JS world.

I have no idea of that specific use of the term and what connotations it has, but maybe it fits? I was using the general prefix to mean across what are usually considered political lines. For example you and I can disagree (and we likely do!!!) on the specific approaches and directions for reforming the government, and we call that politics. But for example, if one of us thinks things would be better if the US was militarily conquered by China, that isn't really the domain of "politics" any longer.

These days almost all the alternatives do 90% of what they cover in a way that’s either using your pre-existing tech stack, or just net-better.

There’s probably some extremely specific niche use-cases where it works well, but I suspect they’re pretty few-and-far-between.
It's probably an order of magnitude smaller than the risk of getting into trouble in more or less any country for not effectively keeping tabs on the kind of content that's being posted in the forum you're hosting.

I have serious doubts about this. Consider that Apple has somewhere around 2 billion users (a very, very optimistic estimate). This would be $250 per user - an utterly ridiculous number to spend on a set of features than nobody even uses. I think this is creative accounting to impress Trump and stave off the tariffs until his term ends.
> Anyway, no matter how many efficiency initiatives people adopt, electricity usage is likely to increase rather than drop. That is because we not only find new uses for electricity, but the population keeps growing.

It seems that energy use in the US peaked in 2007, though I do wonder how much of that is down to moving manufacturing abroad.

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/

In general energy use in the US, Canada, and Europe looks to be declining:

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/energy?tab=chart&time=2...
My power usage has dropped by maybe 50% (a bit of a guess, based partly on electricity bills), and quality of life has increased - I simply didn't consider that these options worked better overall until I tried them for power-saving purposes.

It actually taught me a lot about innovation - there is no substitute for just trying things; you just can't know by thinking about them ahead of time. A picture is worth 1,000 words, and an experience is worth 100,000 pictures - you can't really convey it in pictures. As a result, I 'just try things' whenever I have the opportunity, and my learning rate has increased dramatically.

There are two questions about efficiency upgrades:

How much power do you use compared to the alternative? It may increase, but more efficiency means it increases less than the alternative.

How much power do you use absolutely? Physics causes climate change, and doesn't care about the hypothetical alternative.

Would absolutely love to get linux & macOS included. I don't own a mac so naturally that will need to be community contributed / wait until I cough up the money. Linux is 100% on the agenda.

Thanks for bringing Oculante to my attention - it looks awesome! That level of functionality is what I'm striving for (w/o as much UI clutter though).

I feel the TS & CSS pain. Electro v1.0 was C# WPF and very very very fast but the UI was just rubbish and I knew C# WPF would hold me back in the future. Electro v2.0 was then written in C++ but I didn't get far with it because I REALLY didn't like writing C++. Electro v3.0 was then written with Electron + TS + CSS but electron is shit. Finally, I landed where we are today - it struck the perfect balance of performant, modern language, fun to write, allowing for rapid iteration.

Will Electro stay with the TS+CSS+Tauri stack forever? Probably not! As the community grows I hope bring in contributors who are more well versed in the world of low-level image viewers to help guide Electro to be EVEN FASTER & closer to the system level (Like Electro v2.0 aimed to be w/ c++).

For the time being I've decided to just ship with what I have and iterations will come later. I do dream of the day we go frameworkless (to an extent ofc) and render everything from the GPU at nanosecond speeds while also maintaining the sleek feeling Electro currently has!

>Do Medicare and Medicaid exist without businesses?

In a purely technical sense, yes. Because you don't necessarily need an American salary to pay taxes that cover these facilities.

It was very much a concerted effort for most other non-govt Healthcare to be tied to often American jobs. Which of course causes a cacophony of problems when less employers are even offering full time work.

>Why do you look at money as though that is all that matters?

It does not, but business these days sucked up enough money that it's starting to affect basic survival, let alone any pursuit of happiness. There's no point finding upsides when the common person is is so low on the totem pole.

Making hypotheticals of "well look on the bright side, you're not dead" doesn't help either. When America starts using that wealth to make sure no one in a first person country isn't dying on the street, we can discuss the subtleties of capitalism.

OP claims this was not written in the paper because it was speculative, not quantitative. Nowhere in the paper did she ever claim to have made an x% improvement over the original work. Not making such claim in the paper itself is a testimony on how the scientific method should be applied. Of course anyone would hope to make a difference in the world, of wind turbine blades, and her comment does just that.

Its just classic HN reductionalism to reduce certain unverifiable claims down to its core principle.

some more equally valid remarks:

"Moving wind turbines just 50km closer to power consumers would decrease transmission loss by .5%"

"Building 102 wind turbines would be a 2% increase over the planned 100"

Decreasing time for lights on has a linear impact on power usage. Increasing the efficiency of the lights has a constant factor impact on power usage. It is a big constant, but stopping particularly egregious wastes of electricity can overcome it. That said, both at once is the best of both worlds.
and really this should be the path: define a new convention, then standardized after - if it's needed (spoiler: probably not going to need it). This is definitely not perfect; it's incredibly painful to retrofit standards, but I'm not convinced it's less work than creating a bunch of standards no one needs.
