In my view, this is the endgame, really. Take any numerical technique, at the level of computers we always work with discrete bits. So you can reformulate any numerical problem (such as a problem of finding a probability distribution) on floats in terms of operations on individual bits, i.e. as a purely symbolic calculation.

However, doing so can very quickly lead to intractable problems of resolving satisfiability. So until we either manage to tame NP problems somehow (either by generating only easy instances, or by proving P=NP), we will always have to add some linearity assumptions (i.e. use numerical quantities) somewhere, and it will always be a bit of a mystery whether it actually helped to solve the problem or not.

In other words, we use statistics to overcome (inherent?) intractability, but in the process we add bias (as a trade-off). This is not necessarily bad, since it can help to actually solve a real problem. However, for any new problem, we will have understand the trade-offs again.
Wikipedia page cleaning seems to be the norm these days. There are some very peculiar Wikipedia editors who engage in a mix of seemingly-pertinent, well-sourced information removal and spurious mud-slinging.

There was the whole "Philip Cross" affair which seemed to be backed up by prominent figures in the Wikipedia community.[0]

Unfortunately, even the talk pages seem to be being sanitized now.

I think your timeline is way off. I was born in 1983 and know lots of people born in the 70s and 60s (many of which coworkers, friends or family) & I would place the "gullibility divide" much earlier than 1985 - by maybe 20 years.

This is more something I find with my mother's (in her 70s) cohorts than with people in their 30/40/50s.
Docker Thoughts
OpenGL games should run fine, some old games that used static sized buffers to hold extensions (like all Quake/Quake2 games that dump the available extension string to the console and the console having a hardcoded buffer for each line) will crash it because of how long the extension string is nowadays, but most drivers have an option to limit the string size (AFAIK Nvidia and AMD drivers check the executable name and do it automatically for known faulty games).

For Direct3D games you must use a 32bit color mode otherwise Windows 8.x/10 will force software rendering which is very slow. Even better, use dgVoodoo2 which is a reimplementation of DirectX 1 to 7 (with a some bits of 8) in Direct3D 11 and provides much better compatibility (also gets rid of the Direct3D 7 2048 surface width limitation, making it possible to play games at 2560x1440 and up).

For Glide, dgVoodoo2 is also very good and you can "cheat" the game to force higher resolutions than what the game thinks it is running at.

I have a lot of old games and everything that isn't DRM encumbered works fine in Windows 10 using dgVoodoo2 and/or some game-specific hacks (Tomb Raider 1 for example is normally a DOS game that you can play using a Glide-enabled build of DOSBox but there was also a Windows version made that used an ancient proprietary 3D API by ATI - someone reimplemented that API and placed extra hacks in there for high resolutions and widescreen support).

I wouldn't say my inner monologue is speaking to me in my native language. That's just how my conscious mind tries to interpret it.

I can 'think' without speaking to myself internally. My 'inner monologue' doesn't always express itself in words. I think people are reading too much into the 'monologue' part and ascribing too many actual conversational qualities to it.
The two main issues that GLQuake has over software one are that the textures are squashed down to the nearest power-of-two and lightmaps are clamped in the "0..100%" range whereas the software rasterizer has a (sort of) "0..200%" range. You can see this in the comparisons in the site where bright areas are dulled.

Modern source ports have fixed both issues though (FWIW i recommend Quakespasm)
There's no silver bullet, only trade offs.

I see this a lot and it bugs me, because it implies that it's all zero sum and there's nothing that's ever unconditionally better or worse than anything else. But that's clearly ridiculous. A hammer is unconditionally better than a rock for putting nails in things. The beauty of progress is that it enables us to have our cake and eat it too. There is no law that necessitates a dichotomy between powerful and easy.

Also:
1. Isn't it in 1984 the bad guys (Oceania) was winning on conquering the world? So 1984 itself doesn't really provide any solution to the problem.

2. I recommend you read the book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. The main relevant ideas:
a. The evolution/progression of human kind doesn't necessarily have to benefit individuals. (this kinda circled back to 1)
b. Democracy and liberal values are only hold dearly by a fraction of human beings during a small fraction of human history. There's probably not enough proof that those values are indispensable to human progress in all situations. It's just during this period of time the super powers of the world happen to possess them.

5.56 is also by far the best squad level belt fed weapon round. The precision of fires you can achieve at around 300-400m with a SAW by observing the beaten zone is pretty awesome, and that's largely a function of the low recoil of the 5.56 round. Furthermore, 1000 rounds of SAW ammo weighs like 30lbs less than 1000 rounds of 240 ammo. When it's 120 degrees out, that's non-trivial.

And despite what Old Corps gun nuts might tell you, there is plenty of "power factor" (LOL) in the 5.56 round. It gets the job done....

Uh? That's just the norm. I've met very, very few people who actually think about introducing a shiny new technology as a last resort. Usually it's the complete opposite, they start with the shiny new thing they've read about and build systems and even features around it. I've often heard the CV mentioned explicitly as a reason, but there is also a lack of imagination- they just can't think of ways to adapt the current system to their requirements.

Ah, as for the project to be a success... "I've started as the lead developer in a team of two, and after X years the project has grown and I was leading a team of 20"- this is a common success story. Nobody cares about the fact that the team of 20 was needed because the tech choices made were so poor you needed to explode the size of the team.

So you're saying that the reason that the United States dollar is dominant and the US is able to consume vastly more resources than any other country is not because it uses its much larger military to dominate territorial, resource, and strategic control of the globe? Instead, the reason the United States dollar is so strong is just because Americans consume so much??

Wow! This is amazing. It changes my entire worldview! All a country needs to do to boost its currency and economy is to start consuming more! I wonder why more countries don't try that? Maybe they are just not ambitious enough. Hmm.

The thing is that we are ~11 people working on ~20 projects (the largest has about 2-5 people working on it at any moment, the smallest is worked on a couple of times per year, all the rest is in between). So without keeping each other informed there is a lot that goes unnoticed just because your work doesn't depend on it.

Going through all tickets would take a lot longer than having an update of all people so I don't think that will be popular, but I like to look at the tickets that aren't assigned to anybody yet at the end of most standups so that we don't lose sight of them.

Yes, it is directly relevant. And sure, many languages can dream of that level of use, but most other languages do not have the luxury of being there, and then making decisions that demonstrably do keep some people from using even a language as widely used as Python is worth at least thinking about. Especially when category of languages that does this is already dominated so thoroughly by Python.

IMO, this ends at the start:

"Elected representatives would formally define and manage an after-the-fact measurement of national welfare."

Sounds doable, but it's essentially impossible. If you could reliably measure the outcomes of policies (after the fact, nevermind using speculators to predict the future), quite a lot of "rational" decision making methods would be possible.

The problem is that it's not possible.

It's not even possible on a much smaller scale, like a mid-sized company.
For the US, the ultimate move at this point would be to do absolutely nothing. Imagine how much of a prat he would look if he's been sitting in that embassy for 7 years for absolutely no reason.
I used it recently to write something at work that would count as "an application", and it was so much more pleasant than writing the equivalent in Python would have been. Having a proper type system and multiple dispatch really makes a huge difference, and immutability by default and rejection of OO makes for code that's really easy to reason about.
> People may get angry about this fact, but it really is the simple reality of an executive's fiduciary obligations.

Sorry, but that's bull. Owning the mistake - and yes, that includes paying the families of the victims - and offering a serious apology combined with "that's what we will do to make sure it never happens again" would have been the best way to guarantee that Boeing as the current company will continue to exist. Right now they risk the 737 MAX being scrapped and governments around the work taking actions against the obvious regulatory shortcomings - the corruption that obviously happened, to have a plane being able to run itself into the ground based on one sensor system without any redundancies or other securities.

Now they need the US to protect them with further illegal subventions and government influence because they are too important for that country to fail. That's in no way the ideal way to follow "fiduciary obligations".

Tell me then how Sweden can be as productive and innovative as it is while most people work from 9-5 (or even 9-4) on office jobs and get shit done?

Why should everyone strive to be the MOST PRODUCTIVE person ever, here we work to live, not live to work as is my impression of American work culture.

The worst part is that the US export that fucked up culture to satellite countries, I came from Brazil to Sweden, Brazil is basically a poor and uneducated US regarding individualism and work culture, I would never want to work in that environment again.

I don't need to be rich here in Sweden to enjoy my life, I can travel, I can have hobbies that require expensive gear, everything that a normal person would like to have to have a very comfortable life is accessible. In Brazil (and from what I've seen partly in the US) people just want to get rich to get to this level of accessibility.

It's a very different mindset and I can tell it is much healthier for everyday folks.

The problem is that VR performance is tightly coupled to GPU performance. Currently, adding more pixels requires an equivalent increase in GPU performance to maintain quality.

I'm prepared to believe that e.g. foveal rendering will give step-wise improvements without more GPU power, but it's not the same as the years of continual process improvements were for GPUs.

> "println()" then push that out as a change

No, when you actually need to debug in production that's usually not what you want. Changing or restarting the software you are debugging might well make the behaviour you want to understand go away.

> introduce tracing

Yeah, well, that's basically "logging in". Just over less mature and likely less secure protocol than SSH.

You don't need ptrace and tcpdump to debug software. It's just that it can shave a few weeks off your time when you need to reproduce something in the more tricky cases.

These discussions tend to surface in the context of containers but that's all very irrelevant. You need to debug software isn't affected by the way you package it.

I see no reason why Hong Kong wouldn’t generalise or why I should dismiss growth theory. History shows that there are many different ways to successfully industrialise. It also shows us that some ways are terrible.

Your point on the legal system, especially regarding China, is well taken but I fail to see how eminent domain is against anything I’ve said. I’m not aware of a legal system without eminent domain though the circumstances under which the government can take your stuff and the compensation available for it vary markedly.

Changing voltage from 110 to 220 may have been a good decision but industrial policy has resulted in many disasters, from the backyard steel furnaces of Mao’s Great Leap Forward to Ghanaian cocoa farmer’s pulling up their crops because the price the state controlled cocoa board gave them for it made farming it not worth the labour. Industrial policy increases the variance of economic growth as bureaucrats make decisions for an entire country. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Regarding investment in infrastructure I never said anything against it though the experience of the Soviet bloc and other communist countries does not lead me to believe it’s sufficient for good outcomes.

I do not believe democracy is necessary but I don’t see how market capitalism isn’t. Nothing else works anywhere near as well. Communism on the Soviet model seems sufficient to get to middle income and market socialism on Yugoslav lines might be superior but nothing approached capitalism’s record at lifting people out of poverty.

> I heard some say this, Would it really be "Winter" though?

Yes, serious economists hired by fab companies almost all think so. See, fab ecosystem can't create demand by itself, it relies on clients selling new fancy things, and there are no new fancy things on the horizon, and even "megaclients" are scaling down new orders.

The one overt ways fabs can stimulate consumption is by inventing ground breaking new concepts, and then giving them away... As was with chip cameras (smartphones, optical mouses) RF integration (think of every SoC with wireless today,) MEMS, power on silicon...

Even on that from, there is little new things coming.

Europe and the FAA have Cross-certification schemes. In reverse, Airbus is certified primarily in Europe. The same happens to varying degrees in medicines, appliances, etc.

This is unlikely to change. It’s expected that some changes will occur at the FAA. Certifying an airliner is also a prohibitively expensive undertaking, which is part of the reason for this mess in the first place. It would take years even to train enough personnel to duplicate all those efforts.
