Yes. Because each language holds concepts that are unique.

A language is more than a collection of symbols that can be replaced arbitrarily with another language. Languages, particularly indigenous languages, contain ideas and ways of understanding that are not directly translatable. When we lose the language, we lose that people's take on the world.

It is a sad thing, intellectually and spiritually, to lose the unique perspective of a people who have survived for millennia. Globalism is great; homogeneity is not so great.
Well that and if this device is so great that it will save music and we need to send $500 and re-purchase our entire music library from the Pono Store, then you should be able to tell the difference between it and a tablet pretty easily without 15 minutes of intense concentrated listening.

This is just publicity for http://www.originstamp.org/ ; skimming OP, the only thing they seem to do differently from the obvious 'hash, turn hash into Bitcoin address, send satoshi' is they batch up a day of submissions into a single hash/address for efficiency:

> To reduce operating costs, the server collects submitted hashes, concatenates the hashes, and
generates a single aggregated hash. By performing additional hashing and encoding operations, the
4
aggregated hash is converted into a Bitcoin address . To this new address, the smallest transactionable
amount of Bitcoins (0.00000001 BTC) is transferred. Each transaction requires a fee of currently approx.
0.0001 BTC (3 US cents). By including only the aggregated hash in one Bitcoin transaction per 24 hours,
the total transaction costs are less than 10 USD per year. Users are given the option to include their hash
in a transaction that is performed immediately for a fee of 1 USD. To provide non-paying users with
immediate evidence, their hash is published to Twitter right after submission.

Plus a nice web UI.
Then rather use cmbc, which does exactly that. It translates C code into SMT rules, allows assertions on symbolic variables and solves them.
And note that for harder crypto problems Z3 is not the best, it's just the easiest to use.
On the flip side you can get an intern to commit. /s.

Probably best to just make a one time git user to do it.
Interesting! Can you help me imagine attack scenarios? All I can think of is:

- The changeset is authored by a trusted committer but the committer's tools have been locally compromised.

- The public tool itself (e.g. black) has been compromised to automatically create vulnerabilities in difficult-to-review bits of code (a Ken Thompson hack).
More configuration would allow for more fragmentation...
I see no reason why he wouldn't be.
By their own admission, their intent was "revolution". It's really bizarre to me that you are continuously trying to whitewash these seditious traitors' actions in this thread. Is it a willful act of naivete, or something more disingenuous?
They don't need to solve the problem of reasoning, they only need to simulate reasoning well enough.

They are getting pretty good, people already have to "try" a little bit to find examples where GPT-3 or DALL-E are wrong. Give it a few more billion parameters and training data, and GPT-10 might still be as dumb as GPT-3 but it'll be impossible/irrelevant to prove.
Of course I want to hear that there will be an orderly transition. I do not necessarily disagree with your general analysis, but what are you implying here? That he is still hedging a plot for a coup? Doubtful.

The fact of the matter is that until yesterday, it made complete sense for Trump to cause a huge scene to scare the electors into tossing the election. Today it does not, the election is over, there is no recourse. Trump has nothing to gain from any further unrest.
This is why raw broccoli sprouts are gaining popularity - they can be added to smoothies easily and are relatively palatable.

I honestly suspect Apple's completely lost without Steve Jobs and instead of innovating and building quality products they're pivoting into a fashion symbol and trying to push their margins as high as they can and eke out as much money as possible before people realize what's going on and abandon them in favor of better, cheaper alternatives.
IMHO this is measuring things with a rather ethnocentric view (your current place / culture / time in economy and history). Makes sense in your context, but not so much in today's China's.

There is a massive (high eight-figures) migration from rural to (increasingly newly-built) urban centers taking place over a generation or two (read: insanely fast), and a whole lot of small problems just become massive at scale; too much jaywalking in a —very— crowded city leads to deaths or snail traffic, plain and simple. See how people die in India every single day in overcrowded train stations. Concentrations to a degree we are seldom acquainted with in the West, but that Asia knows at lot more, come with necessary rules enforced to a tighter degree.

We don't have to agree that others do it better, there's certainly a reason why we're here and not there; but that doesn't mean they have it wrong in their context — and unless you actually go there, you really can't judge. Merely try to understand 'why this' or 'why not that' and hope to form a not-too-skewed idea, which is very hard to do from incomplete sources filtered by one's own perception/bias.

Is that really any better though. Unless those statistics are shown to have a predictive effect on money flow, he’s just publishing something to fit a model and metaphorical high fives are thrown around by people that already agree with the hypothesis.
I guess you missed the point: you are guessing at the distribution of political leanings of thousands of people, and then using your guess as "proof" of bias.

Me guessing a different number doesn't change the fact that it would be a guess. It's not evidence of bias, and trying to prove that your guess is true is at best circular logic (they are biased so there must be more Democrats, which in turn... Proves that they are biased??). I reject this idea on the simple truth of making logical arguments based on facts. Guesses are not evidence.

As for the rest of your post, you seem to be confusing search autocomplete with double click ads, which shows a gross misunderstanding of what is even being discussed.
Personally I was really disappointed when YC opened up shop in China - to me it really revealed a Profits over People approach and was pretty brazen at the time.

Happy to see (for whatever reason) that they're recommitting to communities that (at least on the surface) don't support fascist overtures.
No?

If I'm imagining it correctly, it should work like this:

writing `help` will render it inline. A rendered `help`^H becomes an un-rendered `help

The rendering doesn't need to show the backticks, but it seems to me that it's perfectly reasonable to have it exist from the text-editing perspective.

The real problem might be that hitting <star><star>help<star><star><LEFT_KEY> can either move invisibly between one of the two stars (technically correct), or jump a star to place the cursor just after p (visually correct).

I would think the best solution is to have all editing keys (eg backspace, delete, insert-then-type) be technically correct, and all movement keys (eg arrow keys) be visually correct.

I think this is also how Typora does its markdown rendering, which was functionally intuitive in my experience (I stopped using it because it slowed down severely with any file larger than like 300 characters, so a worthless text editor, but UI-wise it worked well)

You don't even need a static site generator. GitHub Pages uses Jekyll behind the scenes, so it converts your markdown to HTML for you. You can even select from a list of themes from the GitHub UI.

Still, the author might not know this.
The fear is a result like Buck v. Bell (1927).
If I’m reading it correctly, the law you cited only applies to non-citizens of the US, so if a citizen posted themselves to return home they wouldn’t be in violation. This was a case of a UK citizen (attempting) returning to the UK, so the equivalent law wouldn’t apply.

The real problem is navigating to the file... I can tab complete or otherwise hop my way around my hard drive much faster than I can visually find a target to click on (and frankly I am shocked that isn't true of everyone who knows how to use a terminal--obviously I appreciate the "easy for beginners" aspect--I feel like the GUI could only possibly be faster for a contrived use case that would never come up in reality... oh, I have one: if the files you are organizing are all images and they have useful previews! I totally use the GUI file manager to organize photo albums... but of course I am barely using the mouse as I do so ;P).

In short - mRNA vaccines are cutting edge & require the most high tech machines and processes in some of their stages, which create the bottleneck. As for partnering/licensing - that's preatty much a thing & has been for a while, still there is quite some time to get a new production line working in a safe and predictable manner.

BTW, there is also a companion article about the bottlenecks for adenovirus based vaccines (Astra Zeneca and others), which have a different set of bottlenecks:

"So that people can feel rich and high status" is an insulting way to phrase "has a different set of architectural preferences than I do."

It heats and cools far more efficiently than the traditional homes in Houston (mostly pier and beam construction). There's more to home appeal than thermodynamics, especially in a mild climate.

>"... But I'm a web monkey now."

For the most part I was spared of this fate. I do everything from firmware to enterprise applications. Delphi/Lazarus are still both in my toolset for Windows and Raspberry Pi GUI based projects. Most of the time it is C++ based servers though.

I was entertaining QT at some point but it feels like a legal minefield with all their licensing shenanigans to me.
TBH Telegram makes the right kind of tradeoffs for me - I like having cloud based chat sync between devices way more than I care about someone reading my shopping discussions with my wife or my friend group chats.

And then if I need to make something private I can start a private chat.

And the interface is easy to sell to non-techies, especially compared to Signal.

This is all in theory anyway - it's entirely possible that Telegram sends everything to some government entity somewhere even for private chats - but frankly I don't care that much so I'll trust the claims and audits.

Thanks. It is worth noting a lot of traditional OTC products since 2008 crisis have moved to either electronic (exchange, ATS, MTF etc) with CLOB/RFQ/Auction style of execution and in some causes that's coupled with central clearing. A lot of this has come from regulation - DoddFrank, MiFID2 and its still on-going.

The most interesting aspect of this is that its enabled non-dealer <> non-dealer trading via certain venues.
But disinformation itself has a specific meaning "propaganda spread deliberately to deceive" that does not apply here, either.

As an asm geek, I wasn't surprised to read that taking advantage of the carry flag yielded the most efficient code for some processors.
I recalled that some ISAs also have special SIMD instructions specifically for unsigned average, so I looked them up:

* x86 SSE/AVX/AVX2 have (V)PAVGB and (V)PAVGW, for 8-bit and 16-bit unsigned integers. These are "rounding" instruction though: adding 1 to the sum before the shift.

* ARM "Neon" has signed and unsigned "Halving Addition". 8,16 or 32 bit integers. Rounding or truncating.

* RISC-V's new Vector Extension has instructions for both signed and unsigned "Averaging Addition". Rounding mode and integer size are modal.

* The on-the-way-out MIPS MSA set has instruction for signed, unsigned, rounded and truncated average, all integer widths.

Some ISAs also have "halving subtraction", but the purpose is not as obvious.
I have nothing to hide because I recognize the intentions and limitations of different platforms. Discord is a gaming chat platform and I post and act accordingly there. I don't understand why I should be entitled to privacy on a free chat platform hosted with someone else's money.
Saw some others mention this but switching the majority of my consumption to a dry herb vape has helped a lot. I personally didn’t set out to stop using cannabis but wanted a healthier alternative to smoking out of glass. With a Pax 3 I consume less - possibly above 75% less and probably above 50% less than before. The Pax isn’t cheap but it’s roughly paid for itself in a couple months of use.
I think cannabis is habit forming but not literally addictive - so going cold turkey seems viable as well.
Best of luck in your journey!
The US is the largest historical emitter of co2. Meaning that the US is still responsible for the largest share of excess co2 in the atmosphere. If co2 emissions are a race then the US has slowed and China is now running faster, but the US lapped china 3 times before China started gaining on them.

Additionally the idea that deploying new technologies equates to economic self harm is absurd. The price per kilowatt hour of renewable energy has been dropping continuously for decades in a pattern similar to moores law. Soon renewable energy will be so much cheaper than fossil fuels that it will be similar to what the discovery of crude oil deposits did to the whale oil industry. Betting on fossil fuels from an economic perspective is stupid as hell in 2022 and risking the survival of worldwide ecosystems and society on that bet is literally the stupidest thing I can think of people advocating for.

China is a problem. We absolutely need China to reduce their emissions much more aggressively than they are. Instead of using them as an excuse to sleepwalk humanity towards potential catastrophe we should be reducing our own emissions so as to have a legitimate position from which to argue about what China should be doing while using our significant economic leverage to incentivize China to reduce their emissions.
I sincerely hope that burning part was just a poor joke...
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure if Apple did provide documentation, people would complain that it's incomplete, or would complain when it changes. I'd love a world where all tech documentation is open, but there are competitors etc etc.

Apple is a remarkably focused company with a lot of experiments that never see the light of day. They don't sell their chips or motherboards to anyone else.

Qualcomm/Broadcom etc exist to make their chips for other companies to use and still getting real documentation from them is often not possible unless you are a giant OEM, commit to millions in orders and sign lots of NDAs.

Apple's not only created a pretty great integrated CPU/GPU and nearly seamlessly transitioned CPU platforms (AGAIN!) but they are at the very beginning of this roadmap.

I'd LOVE them to empower/support Linux on Apple Silicon (as they seem to be saying they will for Microsoft) but I expect a generation of two of chips before things solidify/stabilize enough for them to open up the platform.

And, it's not like this is something within their business model or is going to give much value back to them.

Lots of people say Apple "Needs" to do whatever... Clearly they don't as they seem to be surviving OK doing things how they want.
You don’t need webassembly to run JavaScript on the server side.

You don’t need webassembly to run C++ on the server side.

You don’t need webassembly to run Rust on the server side.

Etc.

Node was necessary because you need node (or compatible) to run JavaScript on the server side.

Wolfe is great, some of his works are the best of the genre, but elevating sci-fi to high art was Lem's project not his.
RISC-V is a kind of lame and poorly designed ISA and the hardware designs aren't going to be nearly as fast.
One of the most unfair characteristics of US healthcare is that if the health insurance company does not cover a claim, then the patient is responsible for the payment. It is unrealistic in practice for a patient to know or understand the process by which claims are made (since they are made by an error prone and disinterested provider administrator, and are made in a non-transparent and highly complex way), and also unrealistic for a patient to be able to do anything about a denied claim, since there is virtually no competition in the market for health insurance, and because a patient would almost never have the means to sue a health insurance company for damages. All this creates a very poor system that rewards administrators and shareholders at the expense of patients.
Not for nothing that Satyajit Ray's "Sikkim" was (still is?) banned.
Thanks for the recommendation. The foundation trilogy stands among the best for me but if you say Wolfe isnt beneath Asimov, that is high praise.
Although, presumably this effect will get arbitraged away as people become more aware of it. There will be a rush hour at the optimum time, negating its advantage somewhat.

What pushed me into using it was when comics.com (now gocomics.com; the official online source of a number of syndicated newspaper comics) had ads that would -minimize my browser-, display a pop up designed to look like a Windows system warning, that advised me to download some malware masquerading as a virus scanner.

The project is based on Docker. The nice part about it is that its really convenient to interact with the Docker daemon via its http api, with a minimum amount of work. Although all the underlying tech that Docker is built upon was widely known, the useability of Docker is the thing that sets it apart.
But then you're denying yourself the experience! It's not so bad, really.
Is there actually evidence for increasing data lock-in though? It seems to me that we’re all using compatible and often openly standardized formats for the files we create/consume on our local machines slightly more often than in the past, or else are storing data in web apps, where it’s accessible from any platform with a browser.
Yet another example of abusive tracking destroying the web.

I don't think fragmentation is the issue with Netflix.

The main issue is that Android (or any Linux) is open, so if DRM crackers could modify Windows without looking at the source, imagine how easy will it be having all the source of all the DRM lib surroundings(you could fake the DRM lib with millions of combinations).

This means anybody being able to crack Netflix without effort in seconds and Netflix loosing millions of dollars. Not going to happen.

It doesn't work like that in the USA either, does it? If a official of the government, say a judge in a city, does something do you have headlines saying USA did it?
As if the iPhone/iOS-Platform had no fragmentation:

1. different OS versions (The classic won't get 4.x and some users never upgrade)
2. different features on the same version (3G with 4.x has no multitasking)
3. different screen sizes (480x320, 1024x768, 960x640)
This also sounds suspiciously similar to big tech...
Since the OP claims to feel cynical about the FAANG mission and the the work is not connected to people that the OP cares about, if one is financially secure enough to not have to worry as much about income or lifestyle, there are plenty of opportunities and situations that could desperately use that level of tech expertise (or even just another volunteer) but can't nearly compete in terms of compensation. Anything at the state or local level in the Health and Human services arena for example.

A more detailed look: Most Buddhist traditions frown upon personal demonstrations of achievements and frown upon talking about personal achievements openly without a good reason.

Giving a closer look, a Theravada teacher might talk about their achievements to let students know if they have questions about those topics they have someone they can go to and ask for help.

But eg, on the Zen side of things, it's unheard of for teachers to talk about achievements.

On the other hand, Buddhism openly gives names for states and achievements, so people privately can talk about it and get help from teachers. This vocabulary is explained in detail, and can be used to give you an idea of what the experiences while meditating are like.

Brain scans today show that magic mushrooms and jhanic meditation both light up the brain in nearly identical ways. This implies heightened meditative states are closer to magic mushrooms than lsd.
