Cross products likely won't vanish, precisely because they're heavily linked to the Clifford algebra, and are essentially all you need for the most common case.

By the way, it is possible to generalize the cross product to higher dimensions, it just won't be a nice binary product, in n dimensions you need n-1 vectors to uniquely determine one orthogonal to all of them. Of course you can achieve pretty much the same thing with the Clifford algebra, or with wedge products.

OK, there are lots of people here insisting that you can simulate a larger machine inside of a smaller machine, in terms of the total state space. Let me assure you that in general, you cannot. That's absolutely a fact. Windows can fool you into thinking it can simulate a 20GB system inside a 10GB system, because it's using the hard drive as the extra 10GB. Which means you really still have a 20GB+ simulating system! I'm talking about a system in which you don't have some other form of memory to fall back on. Data cannot be infinitely compressed, and state space is finite no matter how it's partitioned into dimensions and so forth.

They do in the UK. If you don't acknowledge a debt for 6 years, and during that 6 years the creditor doesn't take legal action against you, the debt becomes unenforceable - statute barred debt is the technical term.

The debt still exists, they can still harass you about it, but you cannot be taken to court and made to pay.

Now, in most cases, that doesn't happen that frequently, as most creditors would take you to court well before the 6 years are up.

The dev tools can be very useful to average users, even if they don't use them the same way that developers might.

For example, I know several non-technical users who use the built-in dev tools to remove the annoying overlays that some sites show, but that don't allow to be hidden without logging in or something dumb like that.

These users don't really know what the DOM is, but they do know that they can open the dev tools, click the node selection button, click on the overlay they want to get rid of, press the Delete key, and now they're able to use the site again.

I have to say, I love that default behaviour. Too many newer command line programms need some obscure option to make them write to stdout. Some let you replace the filename with a dash but too many of them don't follow that standard, so that I still have to open the manpage to get them to do what really should be the default behaviour. And it's perfect for my usecase, which mostly involves piping the result into other command line utilities like sed or grep in shell scripts.

Still simulation means you may not have to represent every particle/state but can instead estimate. Or even not represent them at all until they are observed.

Yes, that's not the same thing if you believe that people should generally work towards improving social utility[1]. It takes some significant mental gymnastics to convince yourself that getting a market edge over other funds to improve your hedge fund's performance at the expense of theirs is improving social utility. It's just concentrating wealth from some rich people (one fund's shareholders) to other rich people (your fund's shareholders). Maybe if you're lucky you'll even be taking money from retirement accounts.

Even if you argue that someone else would take the money if you didn't, that's not enough to offset the loss of so many people doing something so wasteful from an intelligence perspective. The current incentives draw significant portions of intelligent people away from doing something constructive for society (science, medicine, engineering, math) to competing in an information game for rich people.

Sadly, headphones are a part of that now. ;-(

I disagree. Not being able to vet how it works or seeing the code running on the chip is not better than /dev/urandom. The latter is "more than enough, for, say, gift cards".

Heck if it's good enough for SSH and GPG keys, it better be good enough for gift cards!

I agree, and this was the only part I found lacking in the article. For example, where it says:

> The argument is quite simple: we already make simulations, and with better technology it should be possible to create the ultimate one, with conscious agents that experience it as totally lifelike.

This is implying that the world we experience is somehow the "ultimate" one, and it would require super-intelligence to bring a mere simulation up to this pinnacle of existence. In fact, that's also an implicit assumption being made by those searching for 'errors' (not to dismiss such efforts; chasing empirical evidence is the best contribution to make in such arguments).

Yet if our universe is a simulation, there's nothing to say it's not actually a crappy, low-res, toy-physics sandbox; the simulators may consider it to be as "ultimate" and "lifelike" as we find 80s home computer games.
:re [2] - wonder what happened with that with all of the back and forth on that GitHub Issue.
Way back when, in ancient Greek, "meta" just meant "alongside" or "next to" or "after".

Then Aristotle wrote a book called "Physics" (though its subject was broader than what we now call physics) and another book whose title has been lost, about more abstruse things. It was typically shelved next to the "Physics" and listed after it in catalogues, and it was alleged that Aristotle thought its contents should be taught later than those of the "Physics", and it therefore came to be known as "Metaphysics": the thing that comes after the "Physics".

Because the stuff in the "Metaphysics" was felt to be deeper and more advanced than the stuff in the "Physics", "meta-" came to mean something like "beyond" -- with indeed a connotation of "X about X", but by no means always. "Metamathematics" is mathematics about mathematics, but "metapolitics" is theorizing about politics, not doing politics about politics.

(The above may sound ridiculous, but it really is where this usage of "meta-" comes from.)

I agree that it's weird to take "metaprogramming" to mean "discussion of things like office furniture, big monitors and text editors", and that "metaprogramming" already has a meaning and that that isn't it. But the problem isn't that "meta" can only mean "X about X"; that simply isn't true.
I've often wondered about returning to more rural, subsistence-farm living. I'm very likely naive about a number of factors involved, but with the massive agricultural advances of the last 100 years it seems like setting up a subsistence farm for a moderate sized family/community should be do-able.

The Amish do it fairly well, and they even "handicap" themselves by not employing many of the modern farm automation capabilities.

Could actually go a step further if relativity is right your'e looking at time slices in your local environment and ephemeral time slices before or after your plane of existence outside your local observable universe depending on your relative motion. The very premise that there is a constant rate of change which cannot be exceeded could also indicate everything has already been simulated.

Is it fate or freewill? It's a debate as old as philosophy.
I take you start from the raspbian base image and customize your rootfs from there.

Maybe take a look at the various debian bootstrap methods then you can create minimal sd-images and even apply some changes to the root fs and partition table before booting the rpi.

This way you could implement encryption of the root partition or specification of partition size etc.

"please write me how do you think this system should work"
> strawman ...words that weren't in my comment

What, exactly, are you suggesting is a strawman? I was directly addressing your points.

> encrypted works against MITM because of the certificate trust

Nonsense. Encryption works because of $MATH and a shared secret (or matched pair of secrets) between the two parties communicating (the key or public-key/private-key set). With those elements, communication is protected from 3rd party eavesdroppers. What is not provided is authentication of the 2nd party.

Authentication entirely separate feature. Yes, you should use these two features together whenever possible, as it is very important to both authenticate who you are talking to and protect the conversation from 3rd parties. However, either feature on its own is still better than plaintext.

Yes, without authentication it is possible (and sometimes easy) to MITM an encrypted channel. That does not mean all situations are equal[1]. Self signed certificates can be logged, for example, which can sometimes detect a new or changed MITM. The MITM doesn't have the signing key, which is why the certificate is self signed instead of simply leaving it unsigned.

> encryption would be as secure as plaintext

Security depends on your threat model, and encryption alone protects against traditional non-MITM wiretapping. This includes many forms of mass-surveillance. Just because it is possible to bypass that protection with a MITM doesn't mean you should just give up and send plaintext. (and assuming that everyone can and will get a certificate is delusional; see this very thread for examples) Raising the complexity and cost of an attack is good security.

Yes, the UI should probably report unauthenticated encryption as not trusted, just like plaintext. Also, "secure" is a vague term that is overloaded with multiple meanings which can be misleading. It is better to indicate if something is "authenticated", "protected against eavesdropping", etc.

Expanding on a Known Vulnerability: Attacking with Jython
I'd say this article accurately describes my organizing. I'll start a todo list in Evernote when I get too many tasks. I'll knock of the highest priorities and the rest get forgotten because they weren't "really" important. After a week or two I create another todo list when new "high priority" items come up.

If no one is asking for something to be done, it wasn't really that important in the first place. I have hundreds of todo lists that are unfinished and I'll never do them. But, if someone does ask me for that a year later it just goes on the new todo list.
There is a difference between supporting every customer (aka, the mass of people behind your average YouTube comment) and supporting developers that promote your ecosystem. By failing to support this one person this one time, they've damaged a lot more people's experience, and the average developer is much more likely to be an influencer. This guy is influencing influencers because he couldn't get a 2 minute support query handled.

And this is why Google's ecosystems suck. They don't put in the work. Podcasts say "going live this week" then never go live. They've completely fucked up their books store by making authors not be able to control discounts, which, combined with Amazon's price match, means that authors have to choose between randomly having their revenue fully cut or skipping the Google book marketplace altogether. Spoiler alert: they skip the Google marketplace.

> It's a shame that the whole matter of global warming has been politicized and muddied so much by special interests that average person simply doesn't care anymore. That's why it's especially weird to see something like this published in Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail profits from sensationalism, it's not really like Fox News in the sense that it only pushes one ideological position. So you'll get it reporting sensationalist articles for and against action on climate change (although historically it has been mostly anti, because it makes a better story for the purposes of invoking outrage).

This article is sensationalist by overplaying what is happening - the 200 figure actually refers to the concentration of methane in the leaks relative to the atmosphere (it doesn't refer to the actual scale of the leaks in any sense).

As an aside, I'm not sure these sensationalist stories about extreme climate change actually help, they're still basically pandering to readers by offering a way to be outraged without having to do anything. The narrative shifts directly from 'this is not a problem, we don't need to do anything' to 'this is the apocalypse, someone should have done something about it, but now it's too late for me to make any difference'. Then perhaps a few years later, when the apocalypse hasn't happened, it can go back to 'we're still okay, the problem was overblown, we don't need to do anything'. And the boring work of actually working out a solution falls by the wayside.
