Which, as an addressing scheme, strongly resembles the enumeration scheme Niklas Luhmann used for his infamous Zettelkasten, which I'd strongly encourage you to look into if Xanadu interests you at all.

And to stick with the Zettelkasten comparision for a moment, see also "Martha Stewart’s File Cabinet" here:
http://bit-player.org/wp-content/extras/bph-publications/AmS...

(Note that the information, like most information, about "Radix economy" [an extremely ill-defined concept] given there by Hayes ignores the fact that Balanced Ternary in fact has a higher capacity than unsigned ternary, for a demonstration of this basically ignored-everywhere fact, see here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090312094241/http://abhijit.in..., and before you think that page looks weird, here, have Marvin Minsky commenting positively on it: https://archive.fo/gL2Bv; OR simply try to think about how digit sums & digital roots work in Balanced Ternary vs. in Ternary)

Why bring up "Martha Stewart's File Cabinet"? Because one of the mistakes with the Xanadu Tumbler scheme consists, in my opinion, of the fact that it doesn't use balanced ternary for the addressing, making the addresses unnecessarily long AND more difficult to handle in general. (Cf. the properties of the file cabinet as outlined by Hayes in the article)

> That's not going to happen without multiple major players demanding it. Since nearly all the major CPU consumers are currently happy with process boundaries being the security enforcement zones, there's no particular reason to believe that in-process sandboxing will ever have hardware fixes to prevent spectre attacks.

The amount of untrusted code running in browser is only increasing over time, and the CPU vendors have absolutely noticed this. That's why ARMv8.3A added an instruction that literally has JavaScript in it's name (FJCVTZS) for instance.

Once you have mitigations for colocating trusted and untrusted code in ring 3, doing the same in ring 0 almost certainly isn't a big deal.
This is disgusting. A younger version of myself fell for this nonsense - its embarrassing to admit, but I think its worthwhile to point out that there are ordinary people that get caught up in it.

This kind of thing really breaks down trust in online communications, which I suppose in hindsight means I should have been less trusting in the first place.

I'd like to think real name policies (like Facebook's) would deal with this sort of thing, but clearly it doesn't, and causes a whole host of other problems. What's the solution here?
Thanks for asking. A better summary is definitely needed. I short, Mimix is a tool for reading, writing, learning, and teaching which makes it easier to include and share factual information in you're writing.

Fallout 1&2.
These games are classic, and without GOG, basically relics of the past. The isometric turn-based gameplay would be perfect for a mobile port. It would be great to add new assets and content. It would be quite fun to design sprites in the 90’s style the games have.
I’d be happy if Bethesda made a mobile edition, assuming they had the publishing rights to it. I’d pay whatever the going rate for a good mobile game is now adays (without micro transaction).
The trademark of Fallout is probably too valuable for anyone to be able to get away with making a ground-up port to a modern system in an open source fashion.

In one text adventure whose name I forget, you're stuck in a maze, and

as you wander around helplessly at some point you start getting hot. If you take off your shirt to cool off, the game responds something like: "ah, much better. you stretch out your wings.". And with that info, the maze is solved by simply "fly".

I liked how it made me aware of my preconceptions, that the protagonist I was playing was just like me.

It is not good to confuse what RT and Ruptly etc. are meant to be.

Their purpose is to pretend to be serious news outlets to amplify various social media phenomena by selectively reporting about them and repeating this over and over again, with the purpose of legitimizing the phenomenae.

The message that comes out is aligned to the goals of the Russian Federation. The messages that are repeated are chosen for political purposes. The point is to not speak to Russians but to the "disgruntled people" of the West. The main idea seems to be to amplify divisions, whatever those may be.

For instance, just look at what is coming now out related to the "Yellow Vests" in France.

These sites are not a channel for presenting facts or a "counterbalance to Western media". They are simpleton propaganda outlets, news theater that is one part of the media influence mechanism that the Russian leadership wields.

The narrative in the prominent articles is always quite predictable: NATO equals bad, USA equals culture imperialism, Europe equals falling apart, Ukrainians equals fascists, Russia the underdog does nothing wrong, and so on.

Once RT starts running articles detailing the corruption in Russia and why there is an opposition movement in the first place (hint: not due to foreign involvement) it might start gaining plausibility as an outlet for high quality fact-based journalism.

OpenShift is great for this. For something like a ruby application I can just run `oc new-app .` and I get by current application built, deployed and available externally. All with full kubernetes support.

I'm trying to recalibrate my own relationship with my phone from its current status as the "this is what I do if I'm bored" device to a "this is a tool, I should use it for a task and then put it away" type situation.

Both Android and iOS have gotten features to help curtail excessive phone use, which is a good first step. Something I do while I'm at work is put my phone in my drawer and in airplane mode.

The biggest pillar I'd like to see destroyed in modern tech (specifically wrt smartphone overuse) is advertising - the incentives are just so poisonous. Ads seem to be the driving force behind making certain apps, like instagram, as addictive as possible. A hard regulatory line needs to be drawn.
Iron Law of Oligarchies (...Institutions, Companies, etc.):

"...the people who control institutions care first and foremost about their power within the institution rather than the power of the institution itself. Thus, they would rather the institution "fail" while they remain in power within the institution than for the institution to "succeed" if that requires them to lose power within the institution."

Mimix isn't about copyright enforcement in the same way that MS Word and Atom aren't. It's simply not the purpose of the tool. How you monetize your work with Mimix is up to you. It's not a publisher's clearing house, either, which is what Nelson wanted for Xanadu and most likely killed it.

I am aware of encryption before blockchain. The idea is mentioned simply because it meets the requirements of an write-only system with lots of backups that don't depend on a central source. It could be useful for storing and sharing canonical documents but it's not something I'm married to.
I kind of agree. At least for me getting good grades in school required learning to manage my time and life skills effectively. I worked while I was in school and was taking fairly work intensive courses.

We were expected to prepare reports and presentations weekly on different things, we had tests and quizzes, we had a large comprehensive term project worth a large part of our grade that required regular field work, preparing drafts and progress reports coordinating with our contact at the park we were working at, on top of spending 10-12 hours a day 2-3 days a week in doing field work or away to different places.

And I still had to find time to work a few nights a week to help pay bills and such.

Though I suppose it depends on what you take in school.
Free will is an illusion and thus choices don't exist.
Oh yeah, Twitch should be considered a health hazard for young impressionable kids. Wasting time and life away watching others play is something I just cannot comprehend.
Partially. The three problems:

1. The cost of screwing up is very high.

2. There are important events in the real world environment that are not very recognizable or predictable.

3. Humans accept a level of danger from other human drivers that they absolutely will not accept from robocars.
There may be something to gather from this opinion piece, but I don't think the take away is "avoid getting As" in school.

First, I feel I can speak anecdotally as an "in-between" academically. I was a "straight-A student", though never unwavering, through about middle high. I still did very well in senior high school, but my effort level wasn't high. I did pretty terribly in college, and I dropped out once I got employed writing Cold Fusion web sites. (I've been coding in one way or another since then, and have not had trouble being employed locally, but I am not your typical MEGACORP software engineer.)

Having said that, I think the thing to learn here is that grades are just a mediocre indicator of anything at all. They can be achieved, but they shouldn't be a goal because they aren't an achievement in and of themselves. Your goals in education should be to "learn how to learn", "gain broad, reusable skills", and, yes, demonstrate that you can fit into organized environments where you're given a task and can work towards achieving your objective. (Some may say that our education system leans too hard in that direction.)

If you're trying to learn how to learn, school is a reasonable medium for practicing that (and other) skills. Grades are not perfect, but they'll give you a rough indicator of your competence. Do not prioritize them so much that you sacrifice the other important elements of education and personal growth.
The talk is interesting and the importance of audience is a good point.

However, there is selection bias in the statement that most creations are made for audience. It is true that most famous creations were made for audience, indeed, otherwise they would not become famous or even known to others. There is more to art though.

Some people don't publicize their art, or don't get a lot of attention from others. Yet these people are not necessarily lesser artists. The whole audience can be one friend, or small internet community, or there may be no intended audience at all, when art is made for the sake of the creation process, not necessarily for exposition at all.

The same for the necessity of beauty, which he states is required for all art. I think, not all art or artistic creations are beautiful. However, beautiful art gets remembered and becomes part of the bigger culture easier.
Food and digestion is an interesting area. There are a lot of new research being done. And theories that suggest our food intake can explain many symptoms and diseases. Because the food market is so huge, I'm afraid we'll see a lot of pseudo science and mumbo jumbo in the near future. So make sure you have the bullshit detector on. The Nestle baby milk scandal comes to mind, where doctors get a kick-back from recommending certain products. When you see news article like this one, and others recently, it will be hard to question future miracle products and supplement recommendations.
That's not the case at all, reddiquette is not the same as rules, they are more just community hopes and dreams.

In fact Reddit now by default asks if content is "OC" (original content) or not on posts.

we could equally easily reach the opposite conclusion with an equally bald assertion that "getting straight A's requires an ability to hack the system"
Bluetooth Smart Unlock makes taking out my phone easier, since I don't have to put in a code or fiddle with the fingerprint reader. I've really gotten used to it.

But the killer feature to me is notifications. I can keep my phone completely silent with no vibration and never miss an important call or text or calendar reminder. I never have to pat my pocket to see if my phone is vibrating. I can decline spam calls and decide whether to respond to messages without taking my phone out. I can even leave my phone in silent mode on the counter across the room and not miss calls or texts.

I also love the Google Maps integration (third party app). Being able to see my next turn on my wrist is very useful and the navigation screen is more informative and easier to read than the native Google Maps Android Wear integration. When I get in my car that doesn't have Android Auto, I can still say "OK Google, navigate to X" and without taking my phone out of my pocket I get voice directions through car Bluetooth audio and visual directions on my wrist.

It's also just a good watch. There are lots of faces to choose from, some with extra information like weather or stock prices or step count or whatever. It's far thinner than any other smartwatch and you don't have to flick your wrist just to turn on the screen and see the time.
I think the people who believe in free will can understand the notion of free will doesn't exist. They just have a problem with their ego and will not let go of the satisfaction the idea brings to them.
This would be true if both time and marks were not zero-sum.

Human events being unfavorable and resulting in sociopathy are as similar to how some linear process will trigger psychopathy. You can make the comparison as well to how an unfortunate person becomes ill of any illness.
Yes. Your comments shows up just fine.

Also your account is a few years old. I've seen the mods practically beg older accounts to stop so they wouldn't have to ban them. In Thucy's case his/her first posts were in a contentious thread and there was no history. I don't think you should worry about being silently shadow banned.

> I dispute the idea that SKL and the laptop/desktop space is significant in a discussion of AVX

Well I think it is significant. I'd say that overall the laptop/desktop space makes reasonable use of AVX and AVX2, probably more than your average load in the data center.

HPC certainly makes the most use of AVX/AVX2, but on the laptop/desktop you have at least:

- Gaming

- Media encoding and in some cases decoding (this also happens on GPU)

- Rendering and graphics work (this also happens on GPU)

- All sorts of random AVX2 use in compiler generated code and runtime libraries (e.g., AVX2 is used widely in perf sensitive libc routines like memcpy) and even in JIT-generated code

Thank god!

I had a conversation with one of these kiddie porn paddlers on Twitter. They bought Twitter ads to advertise their Steam-sold child porn game where not only were their underage girls, but you took pictures of them in change rooms without consent and so on. I said something to the effect of "how can you sleep at night selling clear images of child sexual abuse" and their reply was literally "it sells".

Reporting it to Twitter went nowhere and I continued to see ads for the game for some time. Thanks ad algorithm.

While it annoys me that Activision, EA and Ubisoft all have their own stores instead of using the neutral Steam store, I totally understand that few would want their games on such a pedophilic cess pool. I'm sure revenue sharing is the bigger cause, but god damn. Make a fucking Half Life game instead of being a host for interactive child molestation. Fuck.
I'm on an iPhone 6 plus, have had it for a while and don't see any reason to switch except downgrading to a smaller screen. I've grown tires of this behemoth of a screen and miss my tiny Google phon I could manhandle with ease.
You can call them "primadonnas" if you like, and maybe they are! If it's just one or two people, and they aren't irreplaceable, and they're being noisy, then that's exactly what they are.

But if it's the bulk of the team, or it's key team members, then being noisy about something --- an ethical boundary, a workplace demand, whatever --- it isn't "primadonnery". It's the marketplace at work. In our industry, workers often have a lot more power than they understand, let alone wield. Getting angry about it won't change that.

There are all sorts of organizations we would refuse to do business at our firm. I can't see how it's any different in this scenario.
You're assuming the impossible but what has conditioned into everyone at birth by social norms and which have not always been correct. The free will belief and I say it's wrong by understanding determinism. Every event is of a linear path with all the preceding events & variables from assigned at birth factoring into the proceeding event. People are dragged along a line of fate till death.
> The problem is that everyone believes what Joe or Jane Doe posts on the internet, no matter who pays them.

My default is to assume everything on the internet (and print) is at worst an outright lie and at best a slanted half truth. Am I the minority?
They've been everywhere for years and discussion about "Monsanto shills" and their "50 cent army" has been ongoing, always resulting in being called a crank conspiracy theorist by other shill accounts - as well as the terminally naïve. Interesting that the actual policy was to leave no comment uncontested, no matter the size of the forum, anywhere on the net. How much did they spend on this multi decade long campaign?

In addition to the phenomenon of tons of people you never saw or heard from before suddenly appearing in an obscure forum to attack anyone who questioned Monsanto's claims, we also say high profile and prominent trusted commenters who were shilling as well.
If you assume free will is an illusion, then it would make more sense to treat those who threaten society as faulty machinery and scrap them.

Assuming people can admit and learn from their mistakes means you can focus on rehabilitation and treat them with dignity.
The problem to me is more an issue of repeat offenders not knowing what they dont know. They can't conceive of a better option, so they choose the option they understand, which is not usually a particularly helpful one, for themselves or others. We expect them to use better tools, but we dont help then find or make them, just punish them for using the wrong ones.
What are some examples of this bias?
Very cool! I love autograd, it had tape-based autodiff way before pytorch, and the way it wraps numpy is much more convenient than tensorflow/pytorch. Been wanting GPU support in autograd for years now, so am very happy to see this.

I have some academic software (https://github.com/popgenmethods/momi2) that uses autograd, was planning to port it to pytorch since it's better supported/maintained, but now I'll have to consider jax. Though I'm a little worried about the maturity of the project, seems like the numpy/scipy coverage is not all the way there yet. Then again, it would be fun to contribute back to JAX, I did contribute a couple PRs to autograd back in the day so I think I could jump right into it...
