Yet Wikipedia is licenses share-alike. And I would be interested in seeing a non-niche author who consigns their work to the public domain (or as far as is possible in some legal districts).

Yet more than 90% of the work consumed by (pretty much everyone) is commercial in origin. Even those producing news segments and documentaries for PBS are doing so because they are paid to do so.

I'm not saying people won't write things like Wikipedia articles. But if the value for others (a given corporation, for example) exceeds the social capital they generate for themselves, if they just feed a machine for no benefit, expending more and more of themselves in the process, only to watch a Disney, say, become far more well known for it (thus increasing the desirability of mating with the owners and board members and rich directors involved) why would any so-called rational person commit to such? I doubt all those wiki contributors would feel good if if, somehow, all that content were retroactively re-licensed (or more accurately de-licensed) and incorporated into a commercial, subscription-based encyclopedia. Yes, in one sense, everything that's on Wikipedia would remain as always, as available as always, but I cannot see it as having gone untainted after such a move.

True, a certain proof might be found in the uses of the MIT and 2-clause BSD licenses (and their kind), but still, it seems to me, even in those cases (taking note that they exist in veritable islands of copyleft and proprietary software) the social benefits (mainly in their ability to contrast themselves with the aforementioned alternatives) allows either the potential gain of social capital that can be parlayed both in personal relationships and employment (both having their obvious connection with attraction of a mate based on the expression of extended phenotypes) or, alternatively, such software is created purely for person use and released to the wider world because the commodification and distribution of computer technology makes it trivial and cheap to invest in the possibility of acquiring even minimal social capital, and should none come it, of course, the producer is out nothing, so there, relatively, likely only the possibility of gain.

Even our own present conversation falls within this realm, just as, according to the law (of course, I presume your geographical location to likely be somewhere within a country affected by the Berne Convention, though I will admit the possibility of error here) we are automatically granted ownership over our respective words, either collection of phrases walled off from the other in a way, possibly, and ironically, reflecting our respective mental dispositions on this issue, and just as the terms of service for this sight allow its owners to store and serve them unto any who enter.

Spammy junk, bad movies, terrible TV, is the common binding thread of cultural narrative and the mytho-poetic framework (a phrase I have type too many time I think), but, in any regard, it creates and reinforces who we are. Even those who decry it, in doing so, define themselves in relation to it and in its terms. So...long live the new flesh, I guess.
I have no idea. If proving me wrong is not your agenda, why keep arguing this? If you really care so little what I do, why not walk away already? Or apologize for making the very first reply to my original comment and being so dismissive in your reply?

There are many possible responses here, but your pattern of response is very consistent with some need to prove me wrong, even if only to prove me wrong in my claim that you have an agenda to prove me wrong.

It's recursive.

And I think I shall stop replying at this point. I think I've made my point and I don't want to keep putting more into this unpleasantness.
That Dennett quote is fantastic...thanks!
Why does it seem like browser extensions are ignored in all of these discussions? For example, right now the Honey Chrome extension has permission to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit". They could be doing anything with that, I'm just crossing my fingers that they find me good deals and don't abuse my data.

Chrome actually acknowledges this: "Warning: Google Chrome cannot prevent extensions from recording your browsing history. To disable this extension in incognito mode, unselect this option."

Related question: why can't we restrict the domains that Chrome extensions can read data from?

> In terms of exploits like Spectre/Meltdown, I'm pretty sure the exploits AMD claimed were not vulnerable, they ended up pushing out microcode for anyway. So its a moot point.

But even in the scenario where the microcode actually did incorporate some "interesting" changes, they haven't impacted performance at all. So this is basically the world's biggest ever design win at this exact moment.

No, I can't imagine that not being a major goof. SA may have just lost a source, or at least some goodwill.

It's entirely possible this was deliberate but I call it unlikely.
I devoted decades of my life to it and I never associated it with the borderline mysticism present in this article. It's all vectors, tensors, fields and operators, and the data which support certain models or provide avenues to yet more questions by exposing deficiencies and gaps. There's nothing deeper about it than that, except what we choose to apply for our own emotional satisfaction (which isn't unimportant, but certainly shouldn't be mistaken for truth in the world of physics).
It is still pretty amazing that we now have 10Gbps e-band radios good for 2 to 3 km bridges between rooftops. For $15k can be a lot better than a $200k fiber build.

For the past 3 years, every yellow cab I have ridden has had an always-on camera.

I like it. If I wanted privacy I would call a friend or drive myself... cabs are for convenience. Security footage protects both drivers and riders from abuse, which translates to lower costs and greater availability.

Cab companies like Uber already track routes and riders, that's the valuable and privacy-sensitive information... security footage? Doesn't add much.
Probably not. OTOH, you can put the changes into a file called 'user.js'. Go to the folder of the FF profile you're using. Backup the file 'prefs.js' to restore in case you don't like the result. Then drop 'user.js' into that folder and restart.

When you're sure you're happy with the changes, then you can just drop 'user.js' into the profile folder(s) on your other machines.

The process is detailed here.

If you're on a network that has both WPA2 and WPA3 enabled, are you really even benefiting from all of the WPA3 security improvements? Any attacker can just fall back to your WPA2 SSID and crack your network that way. And once they have access to your network, unless you're doing some advanced network segmentation, does it matter which version of WPA you're using?

>Who else dislikes this sort of pop-science writing?

I love pop science writing. The thing is that this easy imagination helps a lot of people access hitherto unknowable principles of science. If you are science oriented or enquiry minded but do not have a background in the extreme detail required to access the specific subject/topic, you would have very likely never learnt anything about it given the arcane approach road to it. Popular science writing makes those spaces accessible, marks the roads, explains the possibilities and allows one to think through those abstractions. Then if you are sufficiently interested, you actually get into the hairy details of the actual science. But for most of us who are actually just traveling and understanding, this sort of writing gives us a grip of the "lay of the land."

I look at such writing as maps of knowledge, not the actual thing, but sufficiently detailed and made interesting to give people a sense of where they are. It's a jungle gym for the thinking mind.

Thought I'd ask a followup question for the sake of others here who might appreciate the answer:

What sorts of evaluation opportunities do you provide for Intel vs AMD processor comparison?

Besides short-term on-site placement, this could even look like remote access to a specifically-provisioned lab environment.

Something like this would be pretty cool to evaluate a wide range of processor/memory/storage/etc combinations.

I'm absolutely sure this almost certainly exists but I thought it would be interesting know how it actually works. (I'm not in the server hardware industry, but am very interested in how it works)
Good. Nobody owes Alex Jones his own free publishing platform. Nothing is stopping him from using money to hire "professionals" to set up a colo/hosting environment and do everything on httpd he fully controls. There already is an Infowars website, and as far as I know, its upstream ISP are still happy to take his money. It will have a lot less visitors, though.
None of this applies to most people though... and the thing you need to know is that the vast majority of humanity is better served with updated standards than people with “IoT” devices and know what routers are.
Waiting to hear how.
generally a good rule of thumb, though ive also seen a few cases of a good open source app having a bunch of scummy forks that end up being more popular on the app store (eg shuttle vs phonograph). i wonder if google promotes apps with advertising more than their ad-free counterparts? the conflict of interest is so obvious but i digress..

Apple is a terrible choice for gatekeeper because they stand to benefit from any app becoming popular, regardless of why the app has become popular. Gambling-inducing gem scams and apps with fake reviews do just fine and earn Apple 30% at the expense of users so Apple certainly loses money in the short term if they refuse those apps entirely. Apple also gains when they can brag on stage about how many bazillion apps there are on Apple platforms; scam apps are generally quite numerous (probably because it’s easier to come up with a bunch of crappy apps than a single good one) so they’re sort-of-OK with having lots of “apps” that no one should really be installing. A really tiny list of outstanding apps would be hard to sell on stage.

The only real impact on Apple’s bottom line would be for the entire store to become so infested, relative to competitors, that people jump ship and stop buying expensive Apple hardware out of frustration. Apple is at least observant enough to avoid that; they’ve kept their store clearly better than competing stores but none of them is necessarily a great experience.

I strongly suspect that the convenience of payment processing is the primary reason for developers to put up with Apple’s too-random screening systems. If Apple were required to open up app payment processing to any number of payment services, and if they were relying on trusted 3rd parties to certify apps (perhaps based on category), we would see a very different app experience.

Distributing reviews to different authorities would also be hard. For example, if you had “security experts” handle screening for apps in a certain category, somebody could just write a sneaky app in a different, weakly-reviewed category to make it through the net into the store. Apple would almost have to create secure subsets of their entire API in line with app store categories, e.g. “you can’t even use network-access APIs for apps in this category” would be a very useful restriction. The other nice thing about this is that Apple would finally be free to not need certain expertise in-house; e.g. if you don’t have enough good people on staff who are qualified to assess the security risks of an app but you can find a trusted 3rd party that can, you can hire them to be that trusted authority and we can stop assuming that Apple is the best at handling everything by itself.

Congrats, you have realized that most people don't understand this. I guess you could section off a guest SSID which is a dmz or something like that.
The same thing happened here in Vietnam when (as elsewhere in SE Asia) Uber pulled out leaving Grab as the only provider. Prices went up, service quality went down, and lots of people I know went back to using taxis. Go-Jek (aka Go-Viet) recently expanded and entered the market so maybe that will spur more subsidies again.

"The default type (used for inference) for an int constant is int, which is a 32-bit type" -- this is not true, the size of int is platform-defined. See https://golang.org/ref/spec#Numeric_types. The error you're seeing is because on 32-bit platforms where int is 32 bits, 2^64-1 does not fit an int, and on 64-bit platforms where int is 64 bits, 2^64-1 does not fit an int either (int's are signed). This will work on 64-bit platforms though:

It is very hard to compare 'risky' (you said that already); I know a fair bit of people who risked their health because of their startup; strokes & heartattacks because of not sleeping and continues, years long high levels of stress. When I see people in a wheelchair at 26, sleeping on the street doesn't sound too bad.

Also I am curious; I read often about the US (I presume you are from there, apologies if not) that people say what you say 'have to live on the streets if it didn't work out'; don't you have friends and family? Friends and/or family would take us in or provide a house until we get out of the hole; don't you have people like that? I read a lot in the news (but news is not very accurate these days) that for instance 60% of Americans couldn't get $1000 in an emergency; I wonder if this is some group where everyone is completely broke or if it's just sensational press.

People frequentyly use the term parallell to describe having the same experience, so logicaly a perpendicular experience would be synonymous with an opposite experience :)
Unfortunately, higher temperature says less about power and more about thermal design (often of the overall system and not just the chip).

> On paper, you get more lanes at a lower TDP w/ AMD.

I was hoping you (or anyone) had at least some real-world anecdata.

However, the theoretical power cost being lower suggests it's unlikely that if there's a premium in practice, it's unlikely to be significant.

> PCIe lanes and counting them is funny math. Do the homework on system boards

It's not that funny. Latency "taxes" are certainly a concern for some workloads, but, ultimately, if there's not enough bandwidth to get the data to the CPU, such that it might end up idle, that can trump any tax. The difference between 40 and 128 lanes of PCIe 3.0 in transferring 64MiB is on the order of 1ms.

Finding a mobo that allows access to all the lanes might be more challenging when there are 128 than when there are 40-48, but I expect the popularity of NVMe to reduce that challenge somewhat.

OTOH, it seems Epyc uses half those lanes for communication between CPUs, so the usable lanes doesn't go up for 2S vs 1S, so perhaps the comparison is really 128 lanes vs 96 lanes.
Obviously not all, but at least it would benefit from the forward secrecy of the new handshake, even if the user does nothing else.

For ordinary users, setting a strong passphrase is all they need to do to have network with improved security, even in the mixed mode.

In addition, you can isolate the WPA2 SSID away (for all those printers, Internet of Trash, some old smartphones that are never going to receive security updates, etc) from the rest of the network, and use strong, and independent passphrases for each network, the compromise of WPA2 would not affect WPA3 to a large extent.

I think you should just read the book. It has a solution for chronic illnesses. Essentially, you have a relatively small group of people with huge one-off bills or longterm chronic illnesses, and the government can help those people.

But the problem with American healthcare isn’t those situations - it’s when a hospital charges $500 for a couple Tylenol, because they can.

There is no need to moral grandstand. The situation is so beyond messed up and corrupted that we really need to change the entire system from top to bottom.

It's possible for someone to enjoy music at times, but not have an instant recollection of the music they like when prompted. A lot of my memory is kind of path dependent - it takes other things to prompt it, not just a simple query.

I know I have listened to a lot of enjoyable music and yet I go for long periods of time not seeking it, not thinking about it, and probably unable to list off things I used to listen to.

For instance, years ago, I was buying any CD with some sort of concerto grosso. These days I am listening to mostly streaming electronic music from the early 2000s. For a while I was listening to FM radio, but not enjoying it much.

I also at times have had a visual imagination connected to music and at other times not.

Anyway, anhedonia/apathy may not be total or one-dimensional, is my point.
I imagine that Apple is ultimately doing this for the same reason all businesses do it. There's no reason for a business to unnecessarily restrict its customer base. Apple would like to sell its iPhone to people whether or not they support abortion.
