lol, what?!

1) I exist and can suffer

2) I perceive others as real, other people may or may not exist but it's useful and safer to assume they do exist.

3) They appear to experience joy, and suffering the same way that I do

4) I want to avoid suffering, and they say they want to avoid suffering.

5) My actions can contribute to their suffering

6) Given we both exist, there's no external reason to preference one of us over the other, they also likely have the same internal value as I do

7) I can prevent them from suffering, the sum of the system is improved if I behave in a way to cause the least amount of suffering.

Where's the religion in that?
>I am asking a legitimate question.

At best your question was uninformed to the point that it constitutes provocation, at worst it was deliberate disinformation.

I’ll repeat: Russia appears weak because the Ukrainians have received so much military backing from the US and the rest of Europe. It’s a stalemate because others stepped in to stop them.

And furthermore, Russia’s rate of ammo production is higher than Europe’s, their army is larger than Ukraine’s, and their leaders have no limits on how many people they throw into the meat grinder.

Regarding Putin’s attempted restoration of the USSR, even if they’re unable to hold other Balkan countries, that process will result in horrific bloodshed. The US stepping away from defending NATO countries only emboldens Russia to try.

If my attitude puts you off from dialog, then might I politely suggest you educate yourself more on these topics before engaging? You seem more than eager to jump into dialog with others about this topic to push your singular viewpoint, so I’m sure you can direct some of that energy toward broadening your understanding of recent world events.
After Compaq decided they wouldn't support Windows on Alpha, Microsoft continued using the hardware for developing 64-bit Windows (the previous Alpha releases were all 32-bit) until Itanium hardware became available. Here's a blogpost where someone goes over an Alpha 64-bit version of Windows 2000: https://virtuallyfun.com/2023/05/15/windows-2000-64-bit-for-...
as a detractor, yes, partially (LLMs are also overblown marketing hype BS which is one of the other many reasons).

> I believe that if we had sane copyright terms and limits so we were actually entitled to use and share our own culture and media as we see fit,

i agreed with everything except this.

to me this feels like you’re saying “if only we were allowed to murder people then we’d have less crime” (not exactly what you are saying and a bit hyperbolic, but hopefully it helps highlight my perspective on what you said?).

existing copyright laws are the copyright laws. we all have to follow them or face penalties/consequences. just like the laws on murder/homicide etc.

it’s the fact these companies are being allowed to flaunt the law with zero repercussions i have a problem with (specifically on this one of the problems).

if they’d licensed all the content and it was opt-out — i wouldn’t give a shit about this part.

having worked in copyright, i feel very strongly about it. as do most people who have their works protected by it. its very easy to argue against copyright protections when your livelihood does not depend on it (note: i’m not arguing against you here, you mentioned social safety nets etc which is one direction to go i suppose, i’m just venting somewhat at the oft repeated opinion here on HN that copyright is evil and should be completely abolished… good luck listening to any decent music in ten years time if that happens!!).

edit — i know there’s nothing i can do about this. which also contributes to the misanthropic attitudes towards magic LLMs.
> This is true only for contrived examples comparing the vehicles directly. Comparing the real-world throughput of a highway vs. a rail line (in the US) and the density advantage goes away.

Does it? Can you post some information to back that up?
I don't think that's correct. All you need is to enrich uranium, which is found everywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Occurrence says:

> Uranium is a naturally occurring element found in low levels in all rock, soil, and water. It is the highest-numbered element found naturally in significant quantities on Earth and is almost always found combined with other elements.[12] Uranium is the 48th most abundant element in the Earth’s crust.[60] The decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium-40 in Earth's mantle is thought to be the main source of heat[61][62] that keeps the Earth's outer core in the liquid state and drives mantle convection, which in turn drives plate tectonics.

> Uranium's concentration in the Earth's crust is (depending on the reference) 2 to 4 parts per million,[11][22] or about 40 times as abundant as silver.[17] The Earth's crust from the surface to 25 km (15 mi) down is calculated to contain 10¹⁷ kg (2×10¹⁷ lb) of uranium while the oceans may contain 10¹³ kg (2×10¹³ lb).[11] The concentration of uranium in soil ranges from 0.7 to 11 parts per million (up to 15 parts per million in farmland soil due to use of phosphate fertilizers),[63] and its concentration in sea water is 3 parts per billion.[22]

> Uranium is more plentiful than antimony, tin, cadmium, mercury, or silver, and it is about as abundant as arsenic or molybdenum.[12][22] Uranium is found in hundreds of minerals, including uraninite (the most common uranium ore), carnotite, autunite, uranophane, torbernite, and coffinite.[12] Significant concentrations of uranium occur in some substances such as phosphate rock deposits, and minerals such as lignite, and monazite sands in uranium-rich ores[12] (it is recovered commercially from sources with as little as 0.1% uranium[17]).

Now, 0.1% uranium is 1000 parts per million, which is a lot more than 0.7 to 11. But that doesn't mean current technology is incapable of recovering uranium from these 300× lower concentrations. It's just that it requires processing 300× as much rock, which is expensive, so it can't compete in the market with more concentrated sources.
Even when you carry a dumb phone, your cellular carrier tracks your location via cell tower triangulation.

Show HN: Gabber.dev – $1/HR realtime, low latency AI voice with memory
Building https://gabber.dev. Currently cheapest on the market at $3/hr, but looking to drop price to $1/hr very soon. Gauging interest in the market for $1/hr.

My suspicion is there are many voice use cases that the current $5-6/hr is prohibitively expensive for. If I spend the next 2 weeks doing a sprint toward $1/hr, would anyone want to try. Happy to chat!

I started and manage a relatively popular Firefox modification that has vertical tabs (with dynamic indentation, ie unfurls on hover) for several years now. The latest version now (ab)uses the new vertical tab sidebar to make Sidebery work rather well (and _massively_ reduce the complexity of the older versions!)

I'll link it here, since it might be of interest to someone: https://github.com/drannex/FirefoxSidebar
There is always Glove80, choc switches have very little travel.
What do you suggest? Surrender?
Depends on how you define public. The important characteristics to me are that there is affordable transport available to everyone. Government ownership and operation of the vehicles is not important to me.

Government ownership makes the most sense when there is a natural monopoly. There is not a need for a monopoly on urban transportation.

I am soooo looking forward to the registration numbers for Tesla in February, which should be coming in the next days.

Right now the high score appears to be:

- Australien: -72%
- China: -50%
- Denmark: -48%
- France: -45%
- Norway: -44% [1]

I really really hope my home country Germany can make it to #1.

[1] Press releases have reported a 70% drop, but the numbers do not back this up. Maybe it's 70% drop in market share.

It wouldn't have to be misused anywhere. There is nothing naive about what I wrote, only your misinterpretation.
I wasn't really expecting a discount, but that quoted statement irked me. The way it's phrased, it's basically trying to subconsciously set the baseline that you should expect to pay more for autonomous rides (because "tech"), despite that, as the top comment states, it's not currently a "glitch free" experience.

Pet peeve side note on language - if I see one more article from a tech company about Austin that starts with some version of "Yeehaw", I'm going to go postal. It has all the authenticity of the "How do you do, fellow kids!" meme, not to mention that Austin is about as "Texas country" as San Francisco is.
Yes, because the bullies (Trump, Musk) have allied with the bully (Putin).

Zelensky correctly recognizes that appeasing bullies does not make the bullying stop. At best, it slightly delays the bullying.

Much of the US population desperately needs to reach the same recognition.
EVs in those states just became 25% more expensive to recharge. But that will be tomorrow's story.
Personally, when presented with too many choices, I always feel like some of the choices are the wrong ones - perhaps the cheap ones are garbage, or quite oppositely, you're paying an extra for nothing - and I'm afraid of being a fool for picking them.

No matter how it goes, it's always a negative experience for me.

The selection definitely changed. As soon as "Slashdot Video" started happening-- obviously a bunch of advertisements presented as news-- I was done.

Initially, the aggregation was only part of it-- the discussion was the best part. By the time Slashdot Video started happening, the comments had already gotten a bit 4chan-esque. I consistently saw comments rated "3: Troll" or similar because people were just using upvotes (without any specific descriptors) to counter what others had downvoted as obvious troll comments. Last time I went back, I looked into the comments to see pages-upon-pages of ascii art swastikas and just thought... why the hell would I bother with this?

The lack of moderation over there probably started as a philosophical stance that, at that early, naive juncture in the internet, I sympathize with. I'm guessing that after that, it just became a cash cow that they didn't want to bother creating an FTE to manage, and now most of the remaining users are there solely because it's a community that rewards being an obnoxious edge lord spewing out content-free insults as long as they resonate with the obnoxious majority in the comments.
I'm puzzled why you have been downvoted for asking a genuine question (and all credit to those who have taken time to respond to you).

Perhaps the downvoters would care to explain their actions?
I think they would give peace a chance if there was a chance Russia might withdraw, or if what's left of Ukraine could join NATO.
It's nice to have open source things. But not every open source thing is the right thing to use. You have to use systems design skills to pick a solution that is correct for your use case.

"SQLite but distributed" is like NoSQL during its hype cycle: a good choice for one or two use cases, a bad choice for most every other use case, yet people are choosing it for every use case, because it's trendy and has lots of marketing hype. It appears to work at first, so people rejoice and make bold claims about it solving every problem in the universe. It's only later that the poor design choice bites them in the butt and they go looking for the next trendy thing.
> Israel is going to continue to ostracize itself on the global stage

Israel has been doing this for decades. It will never become a pariah like S.Africa was so long as the US continues its "unwavering support" for Israel regardless of what it does (and this is firmly supported by both parties). And then people say that the AIPAC lobby isn't real ...

During the Cold War you could sort of claim that US' unwavering support for Israel was a counter-balance to the USSR's support of the Arabs, and therefore "necessary" in the global game between the 2 superpowers. But now that USSR is gone (Russia in even out of Syria), there's no more excuse.

I don't think the CCP views Taiwan as more successful than mainland China. The CCP position is that Taiwan is already part of China and by that logic Taiwanese success is automatically Chinese success. I agree that cultural revanchism plays a major role.

While this does affect home electricity prices, doesn't this also affect costs in manufacturing? If trump's administration wants to promote american industrial manufacturing, the rust belt would be the place to do it, and this only makes it harder than it currently is.
I'm sorry but that's such an odd statement. One of the reasons people are saying that the US is currently falling or something is because they aren't as keen on defending Europe as they once were. The point is that Europe cannot even realistically defend itself.

Euro nationalism is so weird to me. I can't think of any metric where the US is doing worst (a part from healthcare and other social issues but those have always been worse in the US). Like in what way do you think that Europe is somehow stronger than the US? By the way this is coming from someone who isn't american, it's just weird that you actually think that Europe's trajectory is somehow towards a thriving future but the US is on its way to fail.

I remember the same doom and gloom and boasting from Europeans back in 2016, but it turns out that even with Trump Europe still didn't manage to outpace economically the US by 2020, or 2024. In fact the gap has widened.
It's fair to say that Tesla's vertical integration is even deeper. Might Microsoft Windows or Google Android be a better example than Apple? Does Waymo actually specify the entire vehicle (i.e. have it's own engine design) or just the systems added to the vehicle?
UK real estate issues are the same as real estate issues globally.

That would entail considering the other differences between a bullet and assisted suicide other than risk of botching or pain experiences, which you are clearly not doing.
> I also like how golang docs literally describe using panics as poor man's exceptions:

And I like how https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26799 describes that use of panic in the original version of this bog entry from 2010:

quote:

However, this is a poor example and a misuse of panic and recover as exceptions. See https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#panic

The example will be invalid soon with the release of go 1.11 as well. The panic/recover was removed from the unmarshal code. See master's

end quote.

The blog entry was later changed because this was fixed. It now refers to marshaling which, sadly, sill uses this mechanism.

The fact that this is still in the json package is a pain point, yes. Does it validate the use of panic as a form of flow control? No. Here is what "Effective Go" has to say about the topic:

https://go.dev/doc/effective_go#panic

quote:

But what if the error is unrecoverable? Sometimes the program simply cannot continue.

For this purpose, there is a built-in function panic that in effect creates a run-time error that will stop the program (but see the next section).

end quote.
Huh? I was using your definition posted:

>Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

Killing the Jews was an ideological aim. So that was terrorism.

The profit motive is also ideological. So that’d be terrorism too.

In fact, pretty much everything we do is ideological. This is a basic fact of life. Just because you choose to ignore that doesn’t mean the word is meaningful.
Carbon dating is performed on once-living matter. Thanks to cosmic rays, the carbon in the atmosphere is radioactive at above-equilibrium levels. Once fixed into a plant, it decays. That makes it possible to measure the time since the carbon was last in the atmosphere.

Plant matter made its way into the pyramids both in the stuff that was put inside them, and also in the mortar, which was baked over wood fires.

Phones - 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4
As a society, through laws, we've decided there's an age where a person is mature enough to be granted autonomy separate from their parents. If we start trying to decide when they're mature by brain development we'll probably find the brain never really stops growing and changing and even if there is a general age it'll be different for every person as everyone develops differently. That's an untenable standard.

My old man taught shop at the high school level for a similar amount of time, and (even though I am admittedly biased) I can say that he was measurably the most beloved teacher in the school. To this day, he gets messages from former students who are now successful tradesmen, thanking him for getting them on the right path.
When I was in LA last fall, Waymo was more expensive than both Lyft and Uber. I half suspect it's an attempt to placate human drivers (and/or the corporations that hire them) for the time being.
