"I'm not saying he's a Nazi, but if he was..."

-- Every post about Curtis Yarvin, ever.

Sorry for knee-jerking, but there is really no basis for equating Mencius Moldbug to a Nazi, and I think it hurts the discussion when you do! I have read some of the texts in question, on the insistence of people who say I should disavow this person who I consider to be a real pal. I read the post "Why I am not a White Nationalist" and I don't know how anyone without an agenda can come to the conclusion that this is a person with hate in his bones.

> Those 1000 customers all need the same thing

This is completely not true, many customers often need specific custom tailored security for business specific needs (This is something most startup SaaS developers dont realize or care about because they are usually just starting development and care about growth and base product). This is where the problem lies, you paint with a broad brush and get the 80%, the other 20% is a nightmare usually. Most the time the 80% has holes in it too, like we saw here with SalesForce.

Whenever Im architecting a system, I always tell the execs you can either pay for it now (going on-prem) or pay for it later (with Saas) because at the end of 5 years you always end up paying just about the same, its just a matter of where. With payroll, downtime, customer losses, hardware, DR, wasted time with project managers from your SaaS providers.

Id always rather have control and know my system than depend on someone else's hire who behind a curtain of three, four or five nines of marketing jargon. It's always a pay me now or pay me later situation.
What does "potential for reliability" even mean? Even Lustre, which you malign and I have maligned even more, has potential for reliability if they just fix a few hundred egregious design flaws.
Oh, shit, I made one fatal mistake writing that post: it now sounds like I agree with it.

This is just how marketing would sell these features to the world (end to end encryption, and yet targeted ads), but disclosing each topic I ever discuss with a given person is still private in my opinion.

I've edited my post's original text slightly, adding a bigger edit at the bottom.
That's the whole point of investing -- you're betting money on the fact that they can make their "delusions" a reality.

I didn't haha. I spent probably a good 3 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't mutuably store a value I got out of a hashmap. It was fun though :) a throwback to when I was learning c and didn't get pointers.
Not sure, that looks to me like it might be a primitive version of same, although as it's mono, it's probably generated from some sort of laser/ultrasound rangefinder.

Thanks for the frank feedback.

You raise a valid point: I should make more explicit what I am evaluating in the solution. I will update the relevant document so that future applicants have a clearer idea of what they're being 'graded' on.

Regarding the other points you raised, I disagree with many of them, but I think I'd chalk it up to 'reasonable people can disagree on these things'. If you would like me to respond to a specific item, let me know and I'll do my best.

Best of luck,

Ooo, I'm jumping into the firepit here. I haven't even read the article.

But if he's talking about what happened to groups of people, isn't it correct then to talk about characteristics of groups of people?

Normally, I would stay away from stereotypes and generalizations, and yet aggregate characteristics are useful about talking about what happens to groups of people.

The real trouble comes when you try to apply an aggregate observation to the individual. You can't. That's the racist bit.

Edit: Another problem is, and what we've seen here, is that observations or opinions about groups are often used to evaluate a member of said group when met. Curse our brains for taking shortcuts.

Also, I probably should have asked this upfront - are you up in arms about the construct of IQ, or the suggestion that that a group of people might differ in a particular characteristic?
I tried it last night. It was amazing. Going to be huge.
Native RDMA support for Ceph is still a ways off. The current implementation requires disabling Cephx authentication, which is a no-go in any environment where you can't completely trust every client (e.g. "cloud", where most current deployments/users live). It also hasn't seen much development since the initial proof-of-concept (still highly experimental).

That said, IPoIB should work just fine, and the main bottleneck currently is (Ethernet) latency. I'm running a couple of 1,6PB clusters (432 * 4TB) and can only get 20-60MBps on a single client with a 4kB block size, but got bored of benchmarking after saturating 5 concurrent 10Gb clients with a 4MB block size.

I do expect the RDMA situation to improve substantially over the next year or so, even if authentication will still be unsupported. The latter generally isn't a problem in HPC where stuff like GPFS lives (where you also have to trust every client). And they clearly want that market now that CephFS is finally deemed production ready.
> A critical thinker is a self­-learning machine that is not constrained by memorizing commands or syntax.

But is a critical thinker creative? They can think, but if you put them in front of a blank sheet of paper, a blank whiteboard, or an empty Vi terminal, can they create and build something new and original?

Creativity is not at all like critical thinking - one analyzes things that exist, one actually creates things.

Creativity is at the heart of software craftmanship.

I am stating that there are plenty of beliefs that do not cause society's collapse if we shun them. The only reason I mentioned Moldbug was that he's part of the dialog here, and I wanted to make sure people did not misconstrue what I said as a claim about him.

Since you just misconstrued what I said, I was clearly unsuccessful.

It wasn't a grasp. The rhetorical effect of your comment was to imply some sentiment from 5F36B5F62640 on 'what ought to be'.

Yes, that is no longer accusatory; and it is correct: there are other sets of people that would no doubt feel unwelcome in such a community.

I think in a practical sense their fear is overblown as 'Code is law'. However people generally make decisions based on consensus reality.
This sounds like a bug / coincidence.

The attitude from the STEM "crowd" is a real issue. I've experienced it myself while talking to kids about technology. People have interrupted a comverstation just to say that art is stupid. I just change the subject and continue with the conversation. But its really hard to motivate kids and young people to be creative with such an idiotic attitude. We don't need more engineers, programmers or whatever. We need more creative people with drive. Period.
I bought a top rated air purifier a couple months ago off of the recommendation from Wirecutter. I live in SF, not China, but it's dramatically improved quality of life in my apartment. It cleans out smokey air from cooking very quickly, and cuts down dust/particulates especially in the spring months when pollen is everywhere. Highly recommend.

I agree with your statement completely. The thing I notice is he works for the government and I would think he would never be able to say that openly. A competitor could instantly draw that into question and make them defend the point and use it as a propaganda tool. If he says women should be able to drive he goes against the kingdoms laws and those constituents, if he says they shouldnt or stays mute the propaganda one could spin is legion. "Uber board member thinks women shouldnt be able to drive for them"
I apologize, since you obviously did not come up with the idea to equate Yarvin to Nazis. Your point is valid.

Wonderfully contrarian? I'd disagree, in fact I'd maintain that what the lady does is not science. How can you argue medical ethics, a subject firmly rooted in observable, shared reality, from first principles and then disregard outcomes? If you intend to do science uou can't omit to check dogma against reality, perhaps those dogmata are no good at all to describe the world.

Very telling is another publication of hers, about Obamacare. From the abstract: "Though states are morally required to provide citizens with access to affordable health care, states must also take care not to violate important economic liberties .. ." Where do the "economic liberties" even come from? Everyone knows that US healthcare costs are an outlier in the civilized world, and the ostensible goal of Obamacare was to fix that. And if we have to talk about the principle of economic liberty we also have to consider the observable phenomenon of decision fatigue.

This is not science, this is libertarian apologetics. There is a purpose for that but it needs to be clearly distinguished as such.

How much coffee are you drinking?

Some intense exercise (7+ mile runs) will wipe you out. I'd recommend you keep the coffee, and get your body moving. Allocate 1 hour of your day, to 120+ bpm workouts.

Just TRY not to sleep.
In general, safe code should t always be slower than unsafe; as said below, if stuff is slower, it's a bug. The relationship is more complex than unsafe == faster.

Über has enchanted the tech people. It's this golden goose that every conversation turns to. Listen to the Ben Thompson podcast -- if he was reacting to an article about ham sandwiches, he would tie it to Uber.

There's no reality here. No magic self driving electric taxis, no robot delivering your takeout.

18-24 months this thing will be like Groupon (remember they were magically saving writers by hiring thousands of them to copywrite Yoga Studio coupons) -- the insiders cash out, and the dumb money takes a bath.

No worries, I've tried to be precise but text is sometimes a difficult medium to get my point across.

>Is-Ought shows us that Facts can't give us Values.

Is-Ought is us claiming that facts can't produce values. And we can be wrong about it just fine.

Some facts can give us values. For instance, the fact that we can choose our own values gives us values. The fact that we have to make decisions means that we value those things which are necessary to make decisions.

>Nothing inside strict Empiricism or cold Reason indicates that humans must survive.

I didn't say we must survive. I said we cannot survive without moral reasoning.

Humans who make moral decisions implicitly establish moral value for their decision making abilities. This means that if you go around saying "do X", then you must also support the claim "saying 'do X' is morally correct (in certain situations.)" Which means that you must also support the claim "making moral decisions is correct," which necessitates that you value the ability to make decisions. So long as you wish for logical consistency. (This is not unlike asserting that "'P is true' is true" for all P is a necessary structural property of truth.)

Now, if you want turn around and say "we should all just be dead", then you're making a moral decision that invalidates those values. It is self contradictory. If you think you should be dead, doing anything but dying is a contradiction. Unless you're being non-general: "We should all be dead, except for just for a little while while we all prepare to deal with this revelation." I don't see how you can argue that this can be a convincing argument to consider, even hypothetically.
Contracts signed with the mafia are not free market contracts.

It's feasible to admit though that the mafia's own existence is a failure of governments in providing security for the population. Possibly a free market for police services would fix that. Otherwise, if the government would stop wasting people's money and its own time meddling with people's freedoms, it would be able to better deal with violent actions against individuals, one of its main attributions.

Regarding Greece, their lack of ability to say no is a direct consequence of their irresponsible actions of the past.
I totally agree. I too live in Santa Monica near the downtown station.

I took the train on the first day and everyone in my group was commenting "I can't believe there is graffiti already!! Hooligans" them we remembered that the trains have been running from downtown to Culver city for years and this is just a line extension.

This is exactly the way Urbit works. (It's sincerely hard to tell from your post whether you've read the documentation, or you just had the same simple idea yourself.)

Anyone can create a 128-bit comet. But once the comet system starts being abused by assholes and bots, signs will go up all over Urbit. These signs will say "humans only" and deny admission to comets -- essentially blocking anyone who has not invested any real stake in their identity.

The normal quantum of reputation and of human identity is the planet (32 bits, like an IPv4 address). Ideally a virgin planet would cost about $10.

Basically, if this cost is far above the amount of money that a spammer can make before a reputation system catches up with the swine, there will be no commercial abuse. This leaves reputation systems to deal with the much easier job of wrangling random creeps and weirdos.

So if you invented this design yourself, yes, it's a very good one...
Ugh, your problem thinking runs too deep for me to power through.

1. Let's say I do things the way you suggest: I use different versions of your code simultaneously. 3 years in I have 5 versions of your code and I find a bug in my code in an area from the second version. Now I have to know 5 libraries to understand the code and I'm constantly getting tripped up by the subtle differences between versions 2 and 3.

2. So to fix this plan I finally persuade my boss to give me a week to address tech debt. With your search-and-replace plan, except I forget to do it in the library that Bob the contractor kept in a separate repo before we fired him. And then there's the separate problem of when I passed it into a function that took a function pointer and so the name is different and not find-and-replacable as being the same function. And then there's the place where Joe, who is a good programmer but kind of inexperienced, poor kid, he thought he'd simplify things by creating a macro that inserts the number, and this got past code review because I reviewed it right after a meeting with the client from hell. So now nothing is working after the find-replace, it takes us the entire week to figure out why, and we don't get to spend any of our tech debt time fixing the place where Bob the contractor decided it would be a good idea to "optimize" the graph generation functions.

For the record, I'm speaking from experience here. The way you wrote this code is an ideology I've worked with before and it's miserable to consume libraries written in this style. You can argue for the "benefits" all you want but I've eaten this dog food before and I'm not going to eat it again.
That also makes for some very interesting timings, where the instruction runs faster in the case that there's no carry between the two halves.

From section 2 of this:

https://gmplib.org/~tege/x86-timing.pdf

"Pentium F0-F2 can sustain 3 add r, i per cycle for -32768 <= i <= 32767, but for larger immediate operands it can sustain only about 3/2 per cycle."
Docker supports native RBD since version 1.8. Which should be both faster and more reliable than using the S3 gateway (though that has other benefits and becoming pretty good too).
