I don't accept that justice is subjective. Some societies are objectively more just.

I agree that progress is not linear. Science also: people forget things, and are sometimes wiped out and their records lost.

Today, everybody can build a social network. Apparently though building a social network that's actually used is quite hard and many failed. So I'd expect somebody who tries again to have some novel approach but it doesn't look like it. How does this compare to disapora or mastodon except the lack of federation?

I really wish them to succeed since I'd like to see somebody breaking the facebook monopoly, yet I'm quite sure this won't end any different than disapora, mastadon, app.net and the several ones I can't even remember anymore.

There is this common mistake of seeing these platforms as a technical challenge but in reality, unless you have a novel approach that people crave for, it's a lot of non-technical hustle.
I'm not entirely sure what point you're aiming to make. I am looking at the lives of an 'ancient' people whose lives were were most close to those of the average person in modern society. And then observing that in spite of the complete lack of modern niceties, medicine, technology, or even basic knowledge like how to properly clean water - they seemed to have extremely comparable life lengths. That is incredibly surprising and informative.

If you could paraphrase your view or issue similarly clearly and concisely, it would be appreciated.

Your definition of common knowledge (they both know it and they both know the other knows it too) is too weak. For something to be truly common knowledge, the knowledge needs to be nested arbitrarily deep (they know, they know they know, (they know)^3, ...). Otherwise there's some remaining uncertainty about whether the other knows the common knowledge.

In particular, your assumption that if A saw 14 they'd know that B doesn't see 5 or 4 is wrong, because if A saw 14 they don't have the common knowledge that B sees between 6 and 10, because that's dependent on A seeing 12.

Science is less susceptible to falling back than social progress (and I use progress here as an ordering operator of more just society, rather than a time operator of strictly later), but it happens also.

After reading the comments and your original post this sounds like a useful service but your website copy just doesnt convey this well. The copy is so obviously written by a techy.

You've written out what the products does perfectly, but at no point is it clear why having an up to date website is going to make my business more successful.

If you're serious about the product then spend a few hundred dollars and hire a copy writer to tighten it up, and then another couple of hundred sending small business owners to the page.
You say you don't get it, but then you boast how your gear is basically silent. Great, that's what I want too!

But I'm not talking about your custom-built gaming PC, we're talking about an eGPU case for a Macbook.

My experience with these type of peripherals (eg external hard drives) is they often say they have a 'quiet fan' but it's not really quiet. And I think it's something I read about being a problem with other eGPU cases.

I have this stuff in my living room. The Macbook is basically silent. I don't want a bunch of noisy fans to come on (they all add up...) every time I dock the laptop and try to do some work.

I won't be gaming. I might have headphones on to do some video editing, if my partner is trying to do her own work in the same room. But I don't want to be obliged to wear them just because of noisy hardware.
If you'd like to learn more about pbrt (the renderer), I can recommend his comprehensive book Physically Based Rendering. It's used as a textbook in a lot of courses and doesn't assume CG knowledge above an introductory level.
Pbrt was made to teach how to write a physically-based ray tracer. As such it is not focused on raw speed, and the ability to extend it easily is important.

Implementing better mesh handling is an excellent exercise for the reader.

As an aside, the book "Physically Based Rendering", which is the source of pbrt, is _by far_ the best programming book I've ever read.

So many books spend a lot of time on trivial stuff, while others dive into the difficult theory and math but doesn't show how to translate it into code.

PBR goes through the difficult theory and math in detail while also showing how to implement it in code, explaining potential pitfalls and tricks along the way. And it does so in an elegant and easy to understand way.

And if you got some questions, the authors answers questions in a Google Group.

I think that's a great question, but I would guess the answer is no, there are no other solutions.

One important axiom for this type of puzzle is that everyone does deduce every piece of information that they can mathematically deduce with 100% certainty. That would eliminate the "just guess" and "guess because your friend will not play along" type of answers some are giving in the thread.

With this, my hand-wavy reasoning for not being any other solution is that when you try to model the knowledge the players possess after each turn (or equivalently, the state of the game), there are no branches or decisions they could make except for the STOP condition of the game. In each turn, they can (and because of the "axiom" above: they DO) eliminate some numbers from the set of possible number of statues the other player could be seeing if they passed in their round. Once the set goes down to one, they KNOW the answer. Since there are no choices [1] they could possibly make to alter the game before it ends, I don't see how there could be an alternate solution.

[1] I'm discounting the possibility that they insert a constant pattern of extra passes in the game. (E.g., "We will both pass 5 times and then deduce the number based on the strategy described above.")

You should read their FAQ on Kickstarter [1]. There they answer why their project is not federated, what revenue model they aim for, and why they aren't a non-profit.

Here's their take on the business model:

>Our business model is not and will never be advertisements.

>We will have a transparent revenue model based on a generic way for people to securely transact physical and digital goods and services inside the network. This will be done through an atomic digital unit of value. Although this initially reflected as a marketplace, our ambitions go way beyond that.

>Apart from this, we’re also planning to help enterprise customers setting up their own internal, self-hosted and secure social networks with extra functionality such as projects, identity and access management.

I like it that there are attempts to change the status quo and not accept Facebook in our lives as a fact, and push back against the monetization of personal information. But shouldn’t this be backed up by an organization with some trackrecord in the domain of user's digital rights, free and open standards? EFF, FSF... join existing umbrella projects, even if not leveraging existing code... https://www.gnu.org/software/social...? Like someone else said here already, today everybody can build a social network.

Btw they don’t seem to even own openbook.org ...
I'm actually fine that it is not de-centralized. It is true that federated systems are too complicated for practical use. However, to go against Facebook, we need something like Wikipedia, not Facebook by some other guy who pinky promises that he will be good.

This right here kills it for me, and hopefully others too.

"Why is Openbook not a non-profit?

Making Openbook a for-profit was a hard choice to make.
We love Wikipedia, the Ghost Foundation, Founders Pledge, Mozilla and many more. However we see the same struggle repeated over and over again. These companies struggle to grow beyond their profitability. These companies struggle to grow to the size and resources needed to compete with for-profit businesses.

When we need to grow exponentially, we need to be able to raise the large amounts of money needed to do so. Therefore we are officially a for-profit company.

But do note that when we do this, we will make sure the people investing in the company will be people with real interest on the platform, its core values of privacy, security, freedom, openness and its humanitarian nature."

NO NO NO NO NO!!! Why do you have to exponentially grow to be useful. Be the right service, and growth comes by that virtue. People love Wikipedia for what it is, not because it "grows exponentially". You're just another guy with good motives until you succumb to investor pressure.

I've been hoping for a Mozilla/Wikimedia like foundation to come up with a modern centralized alternative to Facebook, that just has it in their bylaws that prevents any creepy tracking from being implemented in the first place.

As they say, "False pretence of security is worse than no security because it makes you let your guard down". Don't dilute the community driven foundations by profit driven projects like this, please.
I think the puzzle isn't specified well enough. Critically, it doesn't say that your friend knows whether you passed or not when you're asked, and this is a central part of the proposed solution:

> First, you and your friend have to realize that each “pass” counts as a signal.

But the spec only says

> The caretaker asks you each one at a time, once a day, and you can choose to answer or to pass. Both of you know that you’re always asked first. If you both pass on a given day, the question [...] is posed to each of you again the next day, and the next, and so on, until you get it right or wrong.

Also, "both of you know that you’re always asked first" could have been written in a less confusing way, e.g. "both of you know who is asked first".

For competitive games, watching a rank 1 player do their thing will save you much more time when climbing rating than trying to figure it out alone. Sure there are guides and videos, but that really doesnt do the same justice.

I think this is a good way of putting it.

But it draws to the main point: what is a 'just society' who decides it, what is just for you may not be for me? For example in the USA punishment for crime (including 'victimless' crimes like downloading a song or film) is a major part of the justice system. Whereas in Sweden the main reason behind the justice system is rehabilitation. Is one more just than the other? What if it isn't a victimless crime? Do you think everyone agrees with you?

Does what is 'just' change over time, the idea of eye for an eye used to be pretty popular, whereas now, it is much less so.

I think this is what OP was getting at, the idea of what a just society is changes (changes is fashion). But I think you really got to the crux of it!

As it has been from the very first announcement. Intel is being very misleading marketing Xpoint as "memory". It's not even saying it's "close to memory" now. They're literally calling Xpoint memory (as in the same meaning we use for RAM).

Considering Xpoint has much lower performance than RAM, I'm starting to believe that maybe the FTC should intervene over "false advertising". It's just too bad the U.S. doesn't have as strong laws as Europe does for false advertising.

Eyewire, a Game to Map the Brain
Couple of things stood out:

1. Tooth wearing as a measure of age is complicated by bread. Saxon-era bread contains a lot of grit because it's ground between actual stones. Eating gritty bread wears down teeth. So a 30-year-old who ate bread their whole life would have teeth wear comparable to a much older person in a population that either didn't eat bread, or ate non-gritty bread (like we do today). We do know the Saxons were big bread-eaters. We don't know what population was used as the control for TFA.

2. The "grooming tool" thing is a little strange. The grooming tools appear as a set in the late Romano-British period, and vary between individuals, but are generally composed of tweezers, nail-cleaning blade, snips, a little spoon perfect for cleaning wax from ears, and similar stuff. They appear to have been worn dangling from the belt by a thong, carried around routinely like a Swiss army knife. It's reasonable to assume that at some point in your life, you got a set of them, either as a gift or because you could, and you carried on wearing them ever afterwards. So, yes, older people are more likely to have them ;) But not necessarily because old people were "higher status" or more into personal grooming.

That could also be your microphone set up too.

My voice changed -drastically- in 3 years of creating online video courses, and while things like confidence levels have gone up (tone / etc.) there's also been technical improvements too (better mic / audio settings). My audio settings now are very basic. I just speak at a casual volume straight into the mic and do very little audio processing (just a noise gate and a tiny amount of compression).

A good gauge for improvement is how long you can go in a single cut. I still script a lot of my content just to gather my thoughts (I feel it makes for a better end result, even if I don't stick to the script 100%).

For years, they were the only things I would use. I could never effectively use trackpads until I got my first MacBook which had the first one I actively liked rather than barely tolerated.

These days, I still have a Lenovo X200 for Linux and still use the pointer there although I'm generally happy with trackpads across the board. (Except on Windows apparently. I had to get a mouse for my 17" Alienware laptop because the trackpad still drove me crazy.)
I would be fiercely interested in any more details around this. I'm sure many of us have seen Scotty from Strange Parts doing his headphone socket project, and the franken-phone built from spare parts, but it sounds like you're suggesting something even more than that.

Yes I'm sure those are the figures for life expectancy at 15:

>Based on Early Neolithic data, total life expectancy at 15 would be 28–33 years

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy we have a lot of skeletons.

The fallacy many people tend to fall into is forgetting that while you are quite likely to die at childbirth or early years unless you were extremely privileged you would also be almost as likely to die even when older when every day of your life was a struggle.

Sure the elites that lived lives of relative luxury could live almost as long if they didn't require medical intervention but the plebs? pffttt any accident could be fatal without modern medicine and working hard laboring life without any support structure simply didn't allow people to live that long which caused essentially a pretty big discrepancy in early history and classical times between the life expectancy of the lower and upper classes much more than what we see today.
As someone who has watched every single Intel announcement very closely over the past ~5 years, I can say that Intel's marketing/PR has started to become palpably more misleading every year.

And the reason for that is because their chips/products don't improve as much every year, and Intel is becoming more desperate each year as it faces more competition from Arm, and now AMD, too. So it's trying to "make-up the difference" by being more misleading about it. It's not just the competition either, but the fact that Intel needs to make it sound like their next-gen chips "are so much better" than last year, and make you buy the new ones, too.

I'll give an analogy. Let's say a year ago Intel's CPU got an IPC boost of 10%. But this year it's only getting a 5% boost. Intel will either increase power consumption of the chip to get that 10% or will increase boost speed while keeping the base clock speed the same or lower it for the next-gen chip, just so it can say "the peak performance is once again +10% for this new generation!".

Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, and whatever Lake is coming next that isn't on 10nm all suffer from this kind of thinking. It's the same kind of thinking that created the whole scandal with the 28-core "5GHz chip". Intel's marketing is all about creating the perception that their chips are significantly better than the last generation. It's why they now have "Xeon Gold", too.

At this point I wouldn't trust any of Intel's announcements until they are verified by trustworthy parties (of which there are only a handful, because most don't go deep enough into their reviews to actually spot what Intel has done to their products to mislead customers).
