> what does your file structure in your home look like?

If you mean physical files, such as letters, books, and paper documentation, I have a filing cabinet and things are simply stored by giving them a reference number, and then filed in that order. Then in a reference index in the wiki I put a single line with the reference number followed by all the tags I might want to use to find that document. I use everything I can think of here, because it costs effectively nothing to have as many tags as I choose.

If you mean files on a computer then I don't know what you might mean by "in your home." I store snippets, etc., in pages in a wiki, and each item is either obviously already searchable, or has some tags associated with it as a comment of some description. Large files such as PDFs, raw radar data files, downloads of book drafts, etc., are given a sensible name and assigned a reference number. Where they are stored in the computer's filing system depends on a whim, but usually they go in a structure xx/zz/yy/filename where the xx:yy:zz are the initial six characters of the reference number. Then again, it's indexed, one line containing the reference number, filename, and tags. It doesn't matter if it moves because I can always find it by filename with a "locate" search (if I'm running locate) or just by a find command.

> Are you now basically dumping everything into this wiki and you reference files by a number system?

Pretty much, yes. I find that having a routine stops me from having to think about how and where I put things. I just follow the routine blindly, and it's flexible eough that I can find things when I want them. More, the fact that things can be moved about, taking their reference with them, means things end up clustering without very much extra effort.
You're purposefully ignoring the comment you're responding to. That's not the implication here. The opposite to genetically engineering super humans is to genetically engineer slaves that do whatever you tell them because they are not considered "human". The equivalent would be to enslave the Neanderthals because they are not "human".
How do you work out that probability?
This assumes that there exist some "they" who "set up" the simulation and are "watching" it. It's an excessively strong assumption, to my mind.

E.g. known biological life critically depends on an implementation of a machine programmed by DNA, but there's little doubt that said machine was not specifically engineered for the purpose by anyone.
I believe parent meant a packet of Splenda, not actual sugar. However, it would not be surprising if packets of "sugar" actually contained dextrose as a bulking agent.

Perhaps. This is subjective. But I could hardly tell the difference.
Even if detecting that we are/are not in a simulation, building experiments to help answer unusual questions is another way to understand the physics of our reality. I think it is great.
The problem with an IPMI BMC is that if you have malware that roots the OS from the BMC that in turn roots the BMC to reinstall itself from the OS, then you can never actually get rid of it. I actually opened a bug with a major clustering vendor in about 2012 because of this. Their response was a docfix.
FWIW, Erithritol doesn't taste like sugar to me, and tends to give me a headache. I've found that any of those "sugar alcohols" are really unpleasant for me. Not sure if this experience is shared by others, but I thought I would add my anecdote.

The attempted hacking of the OPCW by the GRU. What we know
This is a terrible way to maintain a system. You never know when the guru is going to die or quit; you have to have a way of getting other people to maintain the system. This is why humans invented written language: to transmit information to each other and to subsequent generations.

However, writing useful documentation isn't trivial, and is best done with a technical writer, and takes time away from development. If management isn't willing to invest the time and resources necessary to produce useful documentation, then they're going to have problems in the future as the gurus leave.

You are looking for reasons outside of "me". It's "they" (aka school), caused by "that" (food/chemical) and so on.

Not that it might not contribute, actually I would be surprised if it didn't somehow, but - its "us". You, me, everybody. We are lazy, we are overworked, we just sit on our asses whole day, lack sleep, eat junk food, drink crappy drinks, we know damn well we should exercise often but still we don't because blah blah.

The standard argument for simulation boils down to "in the future, we'll get access to insane computational ability, and someone is bound to run ancestor simulations just because we can; once this becomes possible, the amount of time consumed by such simulations will dwarf the time of history." In other words, the argument is basically "it's not impossible, so it will eventually happen, and over a long enough time period, it doesn't matter how long it takes to happen."

(As you might imagine, I am not persuaded by this argument.)
What specifically in the article made you think "cowboy" was being used as a pejorative?

I start using Kubernetes with gitlab months ago with the free account. Today i'm using it for a side project. I never used kubectl since then. the project is very simple but still it is split into 3 different repos (all connected to the same cluster). Even if the documentation is not clear about how to connect different repos to the same cluster, after a couple of hours i had to click some buttons in the gitlab interface and auto devops is enabled in 3 projects.

in office we do not work with docker, containers, cloud etc, we run legacy asp.net 2.0 on-premise without any kind of automation (just a couple of us coordinating the releases and copying and pasting into the customer Windows Server 2008).

Kubernetes for personal projects?
In my case, after 10 years of on-premise deployments, VM Ware, SQL Clusters, web.config, IIS, ARR and the rest of the things related, YES!

I absolutely want 3 hosts for less then 100$, a gitlab account for 4$, a free account in cloudflare, code and deploy.
But we could simulate (in theory) a smaller universe than our own. Maybe that is what is happening. We can also simulate alternate physical properties. Maybe the simulating universe has vastly different rules/requirements.
Yeah, we really don't need the bandwidth until media can be sent/received/interpreted directly into the brain.

Hooking up a portable BCI to a raspberry pi-equivalent as an intermediary should be all we need to really start connecting the brain electronically to the outside world in useful ways.
Yea. I don't see how it isn't a reductio ad absurdum either. If we're in a simulation then we know nothing about the physics or structure of 'the real world', including whether things like galaxies, planets, and evolution of advanced civilizations even exist or can exist.
> no good reason

If it takes a developer hours to build something that would otherwise take days, that's a very good reason. Processing power and energy are a tiny fraction of the cost of dev time. For things where scale matters, companies switch to faster languages with more optimization. This is irrelevant for what, 95% of businesses? Granted, probably half of devs are working for big tech where it does matter, but it really doesn't for a lot of us.

In any case, Javascript, which most of us are using more and more, is not that much slower than Java or other low level languages and can be used everywhere.
The marketing on reddit is what gets me. Aside from the fact that reddit video is terrible.. if you spend enough time on reddit (which, sadly, I do) you start to see patterns emerging. These have gotten more and more blatant over the past few years to the point where it is ruining a lot of the larger subs. The particular case i'm thinking of is when the movie "IT" came out recently. There was so much guerrilla marketing everywhere it was just a real pain in the ass to browse around.

In general though it goes like this:

"TIL XXX did YYY" - fairly innocuous postings about a movie, game, product, or company seemingly out of the blue, a few weeks/months before anything happens (in the case of IT there was a load of stuff about Tim Curry or Stephen King a long time before any real announcement the movie would be releasing soon)

"XXX has rumoured to release a YYY v2" - sparked discussion about the possible launch of something, be it a movie, game, etc.

*maybe a few more TILs/related content/memes digging up old screenshots of said movie, game, etc.*

"XXX has released YYY" - a hugely voted post which gains a lot of visibility very quickly

(depending on the level of marketing)
*Floods of memes relating directly to XXX or YYY which don't usually look like fan content*

maybe i'm being overly paranoid, but there seems to be a definite trait in my head. Other than the occasional self-congratulatory Medium post, HN luckily doesn't seem to be falling to the same fate (HN funded incubators aside, which is fine). I guess thanks largely in part to the mods here. Gj dang!
I'm not really assuming it's very precise. It's more that there's a huge difference between 99th percentile levels of talent and 99.99th percentile levels of talent. For instance, I am easily better than 99/100 males at basketball. I'm 6'6", reasonably athletic, and I played semi-competitively when I was young. But I am nowhere near being better than 9,999/10,000 males. And no amount of hard work or persistence is going to change that.

I have few more stories like the time when I closed the HSM rack door a bit too energetically and caused outage to entire company as we had to bring in third security officer to re-initialize it.

We also had special screens created for all cameras in the datacenter to block view on the HSM racks.

The biggest issue was, just before end-to-end test we figured out we forgot one of critical procedures (it was establishing authenticity of the HSM used) and we had to scramble to get new HSM and to re-establish all cryptographic material (so new storage keys, etc.)

Take a look at how Koken handles their install routine. I found it very clean. You place a file in the root of your server, then load this in a browser. It checks permissions and technical requirements, then proceeds with the full download and installation if everything checks-out.

Updates are handled similarly -- the software alerts the admin to an available update within the admin console, and you can choose when to download and apply the patch.
Elon Musk did respond to a similar question that you have asked here. The entire Universe need not be simulated at the same time. It could be a generative program. The reality could be limited to just what we are observing.

> The article is refuting a strawman

This is simply not true. How often have you heard the phrase "equal pay for equal work"? That phrase literally implies that for the same work, women are paid less. That is what people mean when they say it, and because it is so common, it is a very worthy myth to debunk.

Some evidence it is not a strawman:

1) College Humor video strongly implying that a woman is being paid significantly less than all of the men around her.

2) President Obama in a 2015 SOTU address saying that a law should be passed saying that a women should be paid the same as a man for doing the same work.

Moreover, this myth is actually deleterious, because focusing on trying to ensure equal pay for equal work will be futile and a waste of attention so long as the real causes of disparities are ignored.
Sometimes the difference is inside of a chip.
Maybe something like conways game of life but using rules of thermodynamics instead to distribute cell energies may be fruitful at even a small level? Also it's worth considering if a reality that can operate outside of, or break mathematics/physics is possible. i.e. 1/0 as this would be harder to simulate

The reddit website on mobile has gone from incompetent to extremely embarrassing. If I ever worked there, I would be embarrassed to put Reddit on my resume right now.

I don't really understand how a site worth billions has such bad programmers. Everything about it is bad. It's slow, it crashes frequently, basic things go missing like the image you were trying to view, you frequently get "whoops that page no longer exists" simply reopening your browser on a thread you were viewing the previous day.

But go to the desktop version, and it all works fine.

They even inexplicably implemented AMP, even though the whole point of the site is up-to-date comments, not a cached one sitting on google.

The only competent part of their team seems to be ops, as it has finally stopped falling over.
> it doesn't scale

It's strictly better than repeatedly pointing out the same, but slightly different, bug, in a series of incorrect fixes, before being forced to spell out the solution upon realization that the dev isn't going to get it on their own. Just skip to the end.

> if there's a bug in your fix the other dev is going to say "colanderman told me to do it this way"

The complaints about the gender pay gap are primarily around the idea that women make less than men. And that's it. Just wholly the idea that women as a whole make less than men as a whole.

It's not sexist to question that assumption. It's not sexist to look into why that assumption exists.

It's literally science.

Furthermore, the blame for the wage gap is placed unduly upon the shoulders of men, and most of us - especially here - are powerless to do anything about it in any meaningful way. Despite that, we are painted as bad or negative in some way, and that feeling sucks.

It isn't sexist to not want to be seen as the cause for a societal symptom. It's not sexist to want to dive deeper and find an objective truth that we can point to.

It's not sexist to want to treat a situation as "us vs the problem" instead of "me vs you".
The thing running has taught me is to "save the ego for the race". You can show up to a meet and try to run faster than everyone, but you're only getting tired and wearing yourself down.

Consistent, deliberate training and being conscious of form is how runners get faster without destroying their bodies. Then show up to a race and let that ego run wild. Finish strong, high five people and quietly sip your beer.
"If it's not broken, don't fix it" is a saying for a reason. This might be it.

I have a question about mushrooms that I don't often see get addressed. Psychedelic mushrooms nearly always are touted as medicinal tools and powerful substances for curing PTSD or depression.
However, in my own life, I don't suffer from any of these things. I am healthy, don't suffer from depression in any way, and am pretty satisfied with life.
I am mainly interested in psychedlic mushrooms out of curiosity. I have never had any experience similar to that, and it all sounds fascinating to me. Is it a good idea for a healthy person to try these "mind altering" substances strictly out of curiosity?
Probably much bigger. It's naive to assume Supermicro was the only vendor compromised in this way. Similar implants probably exist in equipment from every major vendor of information-processing equipment. Routers, mobile network equipment, you name it.

> Further, simulating atoms requires more atoms. In other words there are impossible problems

Our universe has 10^70 atoms (or whatever). This is an arbitrary number. Maybe in the host universe there are 10^700000000 atoms, and 10^70 atoms are what fits inside a small "tenis ball" from that universe.

Wonder if this every happened before. There was time for people to respond before the final senate vote maybe, which is not that common, but usually people going up to be one of the supremes don't get that kind of questioning, and also are more composed. Even the ABA rescinded their support. I feel sorry for Kavanaugh a little bit - his whole life he's probably been going for it. Suppose you are a cs researcher and you are about to be elected to the national academy of engineering or get the turing award or something and then all this stuff comes out that you thought was dead and buried forever.

But I can't lose sight of the impact of his testifying the second time. The clear disqualifying action was lying under oath about his life, getting crazy upset, and then making allegations about a conspiracy against him - we can't have someone on the supreme court who does that kind of stuff. We'll never know if the claimed rapes and other actions against him when he was young were true (but I guess I believe them), but it's his in-court actions that settle it.
>Nobody in the nineteen sixties foresaw where computers where going. They thought Multivac paradise.

If you're referring to giant computers that took up a room, they really weren't that far off with that vision. Sure, a modern laptop computer or even smartphone has more computing power than an old mainframe, but we still have giant room-sized systems, but today we call them "server farms" or "datacenters".
These aren't intended to be "beautiful" proofs, they are simple proofs. They can be followed without having to grok vast amounts of external material. They are self-contained, without external dependencies. They are short, and while you may feel that they fail to impart insight, I'm not so sure. Having lived with these proofs for some years ( I knew them before I saw this series of blogs posts) I find that they are becoming simpler over time as I understand more about what's going on around them.

Fermat's Last Theorem is trivial to prove because we just quote the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil Theorem, observe a particular elliptic curve, and there you are. It's "simple," once you have T-S-W. But that's means it's not self-contained, and while it is probably more enlightening as to the underlying why all this works, it's not simple.

So your comment about using the zeta function and the periodicity requirement of infinite series exactly shows why your suggestion might be enlightening, but is not simple.

At least, not in any sense I would use.
