Gift economies were the norm, but they were always smaller. They work well when you can expect to get your gift back in the future. However as the economy gets larger eventually you can't trust to get the value of your gift back, which is okay in small amounts, but if your gift is a signification percentage of your production when times are good you have to get it back when times are bad for you.

Money of some sort allows larger economies to become the norm. Sure there was always a little trade, but in a gift economy it wasn't significant to most people.

Can audio of someone speaking be reliably turned into something like IPA by a computer though? (Very interested if that exists) My impression is that they're working with fewer elements and a lot more fuzziness about what they are.

I haven't seen evidence that this will come to pass. But it's possible. English-language specs are ambiguous. Do you really think businesses with money on the line will tolerate an LLM making automated changes to a codebase and pushing them without a human in the loop? Even human programmers create outages (and we have "AGI" which is the holy grail). If an autonomous LLM creates outages 10% more frequently than a team of humans it is basically unusable. We would need to see a lot more improvement from current state of the art.

> but I need to eat every day not wait until

What if you just went to the grocery store and got what you need, without paying money in return? What if everybody continued doing what they do, except that no payment took place? People would deliver groceries from the farm to the market, would write software for ensuring the right deliveries get where they are needed, and so on. Bank clerks would probably not have much to do, but, if they wanted, they could still go to the bank and play cards with their colleagues.

Wouldn't that be a better world?

If you want some ideas for multiplayer, see if you can dig up “BattleTris” - it was a brown university cs student game that allowed networked Tetris play in the 1990s. I could be wrong but I think Bryan Cantrill was one of the people who made it. Anyway, my memory is that it had a lot of fun ways to mess with the opposing player, and you might find some good ideas in it.
> Sous vide is still used quietly because it's a very practical technique with good results for certain protein preparations

Problem is, Sous vide is good for certain proteins. For example, I cannot stand chicken breast Sous vide, as it, yes, more tender than "classical" chicken breast, but has very specific unpleasant texture. And now it is everywhere. Last time I had dinner in Indian restaurant which was new to me (this specific venue, not Indian cuisine as whole) and I got chicken breast sous vide in a souse as a carry. Not braised or stewed or simmered in souse. It was BAD.

I think two primary things, which are connected. First, Kevin Buzzard, a “real” mathematician (as he self-identifies), promoted computer formalization of research mathematics with the Xena project, and second when looking for tools he latched onto Lean because he felt it more ergonomic. [1]

He later discovered why Coq, Isabelle/HOL, and other tools did things in certain ways [2] (which were more “natural” to computer scientists) but by then his advocacy and inertia (the growing, curated MathLib) cemented Lean as the tool mathematicians tried first and sort of stuck with.

True, but who owns most of the patents? Some of the most litigious companies on earth (Qualcomm, Broadcom, Cisco). How many legal cases are more expensive than patent litigation?

Also, it’s very simple: Imagine you approach Qualcomm. The script probably goes something like this:

“Sure, we’ll license you that patent, for $0.92 per device, a $25K per month maintenance fee, and compliance with our terms and conditions - chiefly, don’t license this patent to anyone else, and don’t share the source code of your implementation.”

You might want to take another look, I went through a similar process a couple of years ago, and am now doing it again because our original equipment supplier decided they'd like a life (RIP PC Engines). There's a thriving industry of companies providing fanless ARM based machines either shipping with LTE modems, or with M2 & SIM slots on the board to provide your own.

We install in industrial environments where an accessible internet connection is far from a given, having LTE on all our devices means that we can almost always give the device a way to call home. I can strongly recommend Compulab's devices, which you can purchase as a fully assembled unit that just needs a SIM card put in it (I can't recommend the Linux distribution they run, but you're free to flash them with whatever you'd like).
The reason I was surprised is that it wasn't explicitly an enum type but rather a char (which in retrospect I suppose is sort of like an enum).

One way to think about things is in terms of diagonalization. A generic linear operator is a fairly complicated thing that mixes information from different dimensions. When you diagonalize an operator, it's the same operator, but you're choosing a coordinate system where it becomes clear that all it was really doing was stretching along each coordinate axis, so you've broken it down into something that acts independently in a simple way on each dimension. The Fourier transform is unitary, so the intuition is that you're basically doing something like a rigid transformation of space (e.g. a rotation), and when you look from the correct angle, you see that your original operator wasn't some complicated "add a stretched version of this dimension to this other dimension minus a stretched version of a third dimension", but just "stretch this by this, this by this, etc."

On the other hand, convolution itself is already "just" multiplication. e.g. multiplying polynomials is convolution of their coefficients (to get the x^n coefficient, you need to add up all the combinations of a_i a_j x^i x^j where i+j=n), and this point of view also applies to e.g. linear time-invariant systems[0] by thinking of your function as the weights of an infinite weighted sum (so sort of an infinite polynomial) of time-shift operators (and this point of view works for other groups, not just time shifts). So f(t) is then the "coefficient" for the t-shift, and multiplying two such weighted sums again has you convolve the coefficients (so your original functions). The jargon way to say this is that your space of G-invariant functions is secretly the free algebra generated by G (G being a group). From that point of view, convolution is the "natural" multiplication on G-invariant functions. One can then ask whether there's a Fourier transform for other groups, which leads to abstract harmonic analysis. e.g. the Mellin transform is the Fourier transform for scale/stretch invariant functions as opposed to shift invariant.

> You'd see time pass infinitely fast

I've often wondered about that - whether you'd see to the end of the universe. However, I've seen various descriptions using Penrose diagrams that show that events from far enough in the future would never be able to reach the intrepid explorer before they hit the singularity at the middle of the black hole (assuming that one exists).

> There's nothing wrong with building proprietary software of a couple of thousand lines of code, including themes. And people should be able to ask for money in exchange for their work.

The issue is not someone wanting to be financially rewarded for work, however small. That's completely different from saying you need money to "maintain" what is essentially configuration for colors. That's a deceptive use of that word.

Let's call this what it is: a grifter asked people to pay him for the privilege of hacking them.
But without moderation, there is decay over time. It will just happen more slowly in a purposeful forum, but it will happen. Before HN, there was Slashdot after all.
The notion you are referring to has to do with a particular set of coordinates you could use to describe the spacetime around a black hole. In that coordinate system the signature of the metric looks like (-+++) outside and(+-++) inside (roughly speaking, as it is not appropriate to think of these coordinates as t, x, y, z)1.

But the true insight of GR is that coordinates are not physical and that any physical question must have an answer that is coordinate invariant. So the whole exercise of imagining a "time direction" is moot. One can pose questions like "what do the null geodesics between two points look like as they move along their trajectories and one passes the event horizon" or questions like that. Ultimately only such questions have a physical meaning in GR and related theories.

Practically speaking in the local coordinates of an infalling observer passing the event horizon all the parts of the observer on the other side of the horizon, including signals, are simply destined to move towards the center of the black hole and the parts on the outside have some dynamical freedom not to. This is, in fact, what the inversion of the two coordinates means physically.

Footnote 1:

In Schwarzschild Coordinates the line element is given by:
ds^2 = -(1 - 2GM/r) dt^2 + (1 / (1 - 2GM/r)) dr^2 + r^2 dθ^2 + r^2 sin^2(θ) dφ^2

Note that if 2GM/r is less than 2 then the sign in front of dt^2 is negative and the sign in front of dr^2 is positive. If 2GM/r is greater than one then the sign in front of dt^2 becomes positive and the sign in front of dr^2 is negative. This is the so-called inversion between a spatial dimension (r) and time. But it doesn't do to take this too seriously, as, again, the physics of the situation are entirely separate from any coordinatization we might choose.
There is, if you read it.

> Which brings us to the most striking idea — that some types of electrical oscillations could mediate an experience of self.

> In 2021, Hanson found that similar electrical activity — spontaneous low-frequency oscillations — is evident across many different organisms, from E. coli to humans. She concluded that across a diverse range of creatures, the oscillations may have a shared function: constructing a single organismal whole from many parts.

That's fascinating stuff which deserves the title (and the long context). 2021 is pretty damn new as far as theories of mind go.

Unfortunately I cant find the pics of the build at the moment. It's a stock SGI 550 case so nothing special done to the case. I replaced the PIII Dual Xeon board with an Asus Threadripper board w/ 1920x CPU, 32GB ECC RAM, Radeon Pro W5700, 1TB NVMe, 10Gb NIC. Daily driver running Void Linux Musl.

The mod to the PSU was needed because the IEC inlet was practically at the edge of the PSU housing which is partly obstructed by the edge of the SGI case. I could have modded the case by cutting the steel but I didn't want to cut up a unique case when the PSU is easier to replace. So I opened the supply, unscrewed the IEC inlet, de-soldered the leads from the inlet to the board then soldered in a length of 18 AWG cord. I covered the IEC inlet with a piece of 16 gauge (~1.2mm) aluminum with a 16mm hole for a cable gland and two screw holes for mounting with machine screws and nuts. The cord is secured by a metal cable gland and terminates to an in-line IEC socket. NOTE: I did replace the X and Y caps across the factory inlet with new ones I soldered to the PSU board with the cord.

>they just want to “manufacture consent” for the forward march of the global hegemony, that oligarchy… nobody in their right mind, with eyes unclouded by hate, would come to these conclusions naturally.

The oligarchy has taken over. The few that benefit from the "global hegemony" you refer to, which is largely the 'interests of the rich' are now completely in control of the US.

The US administration absolutely is not looking out for the interests of the average Americans. Most of what they are doing directly hurts most or all Americans in one way or another, and the few things they do that help Americans benefit the rich the most.

Now is the time much of the US populace has always claimed it would stand up against tyranny, an oppressive "lord" class and kings. They are watching it and cheering it on instead.

Thanks for the reply! Do you ever worry that you'd have loopholes in the paperwork, with a lawyer's review?
Similar to how calculators changed `sin(pi/2)`.

For some, they never have to learn. For others, it makes everything click. Maybe they didn't have a good teacher or book. But now they can experiment and play around with different variables and wonder. Then other things start to click - angles, friction, and so on.
