I play a mental version of what you list every time someone raises the "we should ban/disallow/make illegal..." concept.

Generally, I'm hearing this about topics where I'm in strong agreement. Yes, we SHOULD take action against these attempts to exploit our inherent logical weaknesses for the promotion of values we disapprove of (sexism, racism, hatred, violence, etc).

BUT...before I agree, I like to say "How is this different than banning speech/actions promoting something society generally favors but historically did not. Could the same rules have been/be used to prevent the end of slavery, to deny equal rights (including voting rights), to silence those complaining about abuse of power of raising awareness of injustices? Would the rules used to silence peddlers of lies like Alex Jones be used against, say, proponents of generally unpopular and uncomfortable opinions such as improved rights of life for animals, or polyamorous marriage rights? (The only commonality of those being that each has been used as an example by some of a concept treated as ridiculous on it's face).

And here's the thing - I _don't_ ask these questions to try and reach a "enh, guess we should just let everyone be a-holes and eventually it will work out". I want to find a legit answer. Sometimes I can't, but most of the time I circle around some concept that DOES make a difference, even if it's hard to nail down in words. I think that's important because while civilization has generally moved in a positive direction over time, none of that has happened by just waiting it out - people made a fuss, took risks, raised awareness. Governments, churches, media, and other social bodies hashed out opinions and decided what was right, what was wrong, and what was unacceptably TOO wrong. Knowing that these processes can fail does not mean we should give up on them, instead we should work harder to find better success rates.

We are not well equipped to handle societies at the scale we have them (see Dunbar's Number etc), but that does not mean we can't try to get better.

As a result, things like this tend to fall into buckets for me: "Yeah, good idea, but we should be careful", "I wish, but only once we figure out how to distinguish the reasons", "I wish, but honestly there are still too many legit points to remove this from discussion", "Nah, this is important churn to work through" and "Are you crazy? They are right and should be amplified, not silenced".
...and there it is, right in table S4, a p-test just barely under the old 0.05 threshold (0.0468).
To be fair ...

For any given programming task, there is a fixed (minimum) amount of work to do to solve it correctly, and the programmer's design choices merely decide the distribution of that work among the environment, the compiler, the standard library, the third-party libraries, and the programmer herself.

Meaning, that in order to use the programmer's time most effectively per unit of task difficulty, the language itself should be such that the compiler does as much work as it possibly can. Such a compiler simply won't be small, and probably won't be fast either. (imho the best it can or should do in the face of a syntactically-valid non-program, is to give as many errors at once as are applicable, so that the programmer can fix them all in one go)

Rust, of course, in the grandly oversimplified view, takes this tradeoff in the same direction as Swift, and I'm sure you're familiar with all the ways that Rust is better for it ... and even a few ways that Rust is worse for doing the opposite. :)

(Though, then again, there's miri, for those that value correctness over performance. Unless it too has changed names.)
I don't think it'll ever use /more/ resource than it is right now. From my understanding, all apps right now are at "maximum" usage. All this does it reduce usage of apps you never use.

So in practice, the resource usage of Snapchat for you would probably not change at all, but that one game app you downloaded 2 months ago and never played will stop querying the master server every day to serve you more ads.
I think by 'seal the doom' he just means that this result shows that OpenAI is almost definitely going to be able to defeat a pro team in an unrestricted game of DotA.

Which I'm still not completely sold on. It's likely, but the remaining restrictions aren't trivial by any means. There's an outside chance that removing one or more of them is going to brickwall their progress.

From the article: "To my surprise, I couldn’t find a decent guide anywhere"

How often open source projects shoot themselves in the foot this way. They come up with something marvelous that many ordinary users would love to use. But then they fail to make a friendly UI and write good user docs, so few people adopt it.

One example I struggled with is gpg. I wanted to use it, but found the user docs confusing. So I thought of helping improve them so it would be more widely adopted. So I dug into how it works, but I discovered it was so inherently hard to use that few would ever adopt it, no matter how good the user docs were, and so I just gave up.

One thing that is going to determine whether web decentralization succeeds and rescues us from Facebook et al is whether or not the developers can come up with user friendly software. One thing that means is that it is quite possible that a piece of decentralization software that is far from optimal will take over a segment simply because it is easier to use that others that are much superior.

It seems like this would be an obvious and easy solution.
Before containers and even widespread VMs, “thick archives” basically just meant a tar file that contained all of the build tooling in addition to the project code.

So you might create an archive with a whole compiler toolchain and shell scripts / makefiles to invoke it locally on the host machine.

Usually a project would have a build system that auto-generated these archives for any combination of platform / compiler options targeted for support. So you’d choose the MacOS archive if you use a Mac (maybe further separated based on your architecture’s precision and which compiler, etc.)

It leads to a Chinese Menu problem of multiplicity: archive files for X platforms times Y precisions times Z compilers, etc. (especially painful for embedded devices).

It’s a reasonable way to ship the entire build artifacts though.

VMs are a perfectly good way to distribute reproducible research. Though I think containers are the best way currently because of the usability of most container APIs (standard recipes & build experience, managed container repos, etc.).

In principle you could build convenience APIs around thick archives or VMs too, it just seems less common for whatever reason.

That's not even slightly true? Android doesn't pretend to be anything but a Linux system, with all the Linux details shining through in all their glory.

There is a seccomp policy that blacklists some syscalls, but it's only 17 out of 271 for ARM64 and it's things like setuid or reboot which you won't have permission to do anyway. Other than that you're completely free to go nuts with raw syscalls, you're in no way, shape, or form stuck going through a POSIX layer.
This is a nice data point in how crazy a "study" can be in how it abuses statistics to detach itself from reality. With a billion variables to control for, you can find many that seemingly account for trends in crime. Basically, locking people up prevents them from committing crimes for that duration. For anything besides organized crime, that's going to reduce crime by removing whatever crimes they'd commit.
I think most people who need to stream games are those who have a Windows box but run other operating systems for all of their other machines. I can't imagine a scenario where you'd want to host on a Mac or a Linux machine for games, only one where they are the client.

I gave a talk about generational differences in the workplace this year, so had a fair amount of research about how different generations manage finance.

The charts do a good job of telling the story, but it basically goes like this: Children of the great Depression were terribly frugal, working hard to avoid a future financial hardship.
Then the next generation (the one described in the article) decided they were not going to be miserly penny-pinchers like their parents. They bought everything with the belief they'd pay it off later.
Now the next generations see the folloy in their parents behavior, so now we have the FIRE generation, once again pinching pennies.

And so the pendulum swings back and forth. And the beat goes on.

The one where he says "Let MasterCard/VISA/US Gov control the digital economy."
No, first Alex Jones demanded the assassination of our sitting president. Then he demanded that someone kill the woman running to replace the president. Then he accused a pizza shop of running a pedophilia ring, almost resulting in the deaths of multiple employees and customers when someone took him up on the offer. Then he accused parents of murdered children of staging a false flag event for money.

Then, despite all this, he was still allowed to spew his nonsense. Until one day his own supporters starting chanting about fake reporting in the media. And it turns out he was one of the biggest sources of fake news. So they finally got rid of him.

Yup, because they want to be able to say they brought amazon in. It fucks over the people who already lives there, increases inequality, and ultimately doesn't really help that many people other than Jeff.
Pricing and capabilities have probably changed over the years. The cheapest GPU spot instance you can get on AWS today is a p2.xlarge, which will run you $0.45/hr. And also, p2-class instances run Tesla K80 GPUs, which are Kepler cores, an architecture running on 6 years old now (think GTX 600/700). Fine for 1080p60 most games, but I doubt many modern titles would hit the 60fps mark.

Google Cloud can allow you to get the cost lower (closer to ~$0.15/hr) by cost optimizing the instance CPU/Memory and attaching a GPU to it.

But you've got three problems with both of these setups:

- Spot on AWS/Preemptible on GCP will kill your instance with about 2 minutes of warning. I'm not sure what AWS's policy is on how often this happens, but on GCP, its guaranteed to happen at least once every 24 hours. So that could be annoying if you're in the middle of an intense game of Overwatch.

- Storage costs. You're paying per hour for your instance, so you don't want to have to download all your games every time you spin it up. But, then you shift the cost to the SSD, which is expensive and must be maintained 24/7/365 for that quick startup time. You could alternatively store it in S3/GCS then hot-load it when the instance starts, which would be fast due to the fiber interconnect all these datacenters are wired with. So, plan for this bullet to add at least $10/mo/TB of storage.

- Network costs. A 1080p60 stream is, conservatively, 10Mbps? Add on an extra ~$0.25 per hour you want to game, just in bandwidth.
Yes, it was 2015, typo.

> The Nazi leadership wanted expansion of the German state to include all of Europe.

No they didn't. They wanted to expand the German state to include areas with significant German population (Austria, Sudentenland, Elsass, Slovenia etc.) and then they wanted to expand the state eastwards into Poland and Western USSR for "Lebensraum".

Germany occupied France, Belgium, Denmark, Norway etc. for military strategic reasons. They had no plans of incorporating these countries in the Reich, which would be counter to the whole Nazi ideology of a German ethnostate.

Yeah but the scope of getting up in errybody's business is limited to business that local people care about. As opposed to larger governments getting up in business that people far away care about. Case in point: In my small NE town, there has never been a discussion of "bathroom bills", but the town does care about roosters and water rights. A larger, neighboring town does care about "bathroom bills", spending tons of time and energy arguing over them, and has no concept of what it's like to live next to roosters or rely on well water. I would not like to have that group of people to have any say over the operation of my town, either as republican constituents or as direct voters.

Good call, I'll note this down. Technically this is possible at the moment, but

Regarding your list of suggestions, I agree that having those would be nice, and
I'll see how I can best add those.

The state of the standard library can best be described as "very young". For
example, only recently did I manage to add enough building blocks to build a
testing standard library, and one of the next goals is to make sure everything
is tested before adding more.

Locking your front wheel is usually 1) very difficult 2) non-recoverable unless you're good on a bike. If you lock you're front wheel going any speed over walking pace you'll probably go down. If you lock it up in the wet you're almost guaranteed to go down fast.

If you're riding uphill rear wheel drive on a bike is great because that's where you're weight is. The front wheel doens't have much. Put power into the front wheel and it might spin.

Put power through the front wheel while going downhill...well there was not need to because you don't need to have a power boost because you're going downhill.

This article has many, many problems, and misrepresents what's actually being proposed. No data is shared in either way without clear consumer opt in. No bank is randomly giving data to Facebook. Facebook is not buying data from the banks.

The totally misconstrued experience the article appears to be about is primarily for messenger chatbot approaches that are already in use for paypal and a few banks (BMO, Wells Fargo to name two) across the world. The user has to volunteer to start the chatbot in FB messenger, then go through a myriad of permission screens (including an oAuth) to give permission to the chatbot to see some transactions and answer a few other basic account questions ("How much do I spend on groceries?" "When is my payment due?"). Privacy policies for existing chatbots describe all data usage. Users can easily revoke their permissions and remove the chatbot.

This is the same level of data you've given to various PFM apps like Clarity or Mint. And if you haven't, cool, you won't want to do this with Facebook either, no problem. It's with clear and conspicuous permissions. Facebook has publicly and clearly said that they won't use the data to target ads, and they would be sued by everyone if they turned out to have lied about something as important as credit card or bank data. Not to say they won't get caught a year from now abusing the data, nor can anyone say that banks won't abuse any data they get from FB... but if you believe this, don't use the chatbot and they won't see your bank data nor let the bank see your FB data.

Facebook has done and facilitated some dreadful things, but letting folks access their banking data with permission via chat is the US catching up to what WeChat already has: millions of people accessing their banking via chat.
