> the rise of right-wing ideology in America has been so sudden and pervasive that it strains credulity that anyone would be surprised that the issue gets lots of attention

Has it really been sudden? The actual Nazis and Klansmen are still bumbling around, selling guns and meth like they always have. There aren't actually very many of them, and they are stupid and nasty, but largely harmless in the grand scheme.

What is different is that the scope of the definition has grown such that a kindly Canadian psychology professor, a gay Jewish talkshow host, a Somalian lobbyist/politician, and a feminist philospher can be painted with this all-encompassing Alt-Right brush.
Don't worry about the LARPers. There are so few of them, they are so dumb, they have so little power, and they never will.

Worry instead about those quiet ones out there reading old and problematic books: the free spirits, burning forth, ready to smash all our tablets of values.
Absolutely fantastic news! I've had highly therapeutic experiences using psychedelics even just in the company of close friends and a relaxed, accepting atmosphere. There genuinely is medical benefit to these substances when used in a peaceful environment and amongst those you trust, and I can only imagine the benefit that a trained professional can provide: a psychologist could truly be the 21st century's "shaman." The positive effects of decriminalization/legalization on the nation could be the psychedelic renaissance that Leary always advocated for.

I'm glad that Denver isn't giving into fear mongering regarding the chemistry of our own bodies.
You cannot dump it but you can sign data with it.
The issue isn't about giving away any big secret, it's about violating the 'quiet period' rules. It's a 'if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile' situation regarding what some insiders will try to sneak in to interviews/statements if they can get away with it. So the potential punishment of having their IPO date pushed back (or worse), even for something seemingly as trivial as saying 'soon', generally keeps people in line.

Laws in Australia are already pretty loose: medical marijuana is permitted on a federal level (although in many places the legal hoops required to get a prescription are absurd) and in most states recreational use is more or less decriminalized. I agree that actual legalisation is a long way off, and as usual it looks like our Kiwi brothers will beat us to the punch:

Every kid goes thru the phase where they want to be acknowledged, and their views verified by others (despite that they don't actually know their own views, and is still absorbing).

Those who would want to prey on this can take advantage. It's the role of the parents and public institutions like schools, to teach right from wrong.

In this story, the school failed, but the parents tried and got lucky. But you can imagine the story could have easily gone the other way.

Are territories and or cities able to independently legalize in Australia?

If the US had not been able to gradually legalize at a state level and build momentum, it seems unlikely that it would have gained such positive momentum overall nationally. Demonstrations through state experiments - showing that the world wouldn't end upon legalization - were important for swaying the fence sitters (and in helping to bury some of the more ridiculous propaganda by the anti crowd).

The danger of MDMA is overstated. From an actual chemical toxicity standpoint it's relatively safe, accidental overdose would be next to impossible. You can have a gram in one go (average dose is somewhere around 80-250 mg), and although you'd probably feel pretty sick, you'll be fine.

Even the danger for dehydration/overhydration is overstated. Heatstroke is a danger when using it during the day in summer (e.g. at festivals), but that's more due to people not listening to their bodies and not knowing when to stop and take a break and get some shade/water.

Anecdotally it's a pretty safe drug. The main danger is generally "molly" (which I think is a really cringy name) that's not actually pure MDMA, but is instead laced with PMA or other more dangerous substances which are cheaper and easier to manufacture and import.

That's not to say that there isn't danger of harm and potential for abuse. Just that it's overstated by politicians and the police as a scare tactic. Most of the potential harm from MDMA can be mitigated with good education.

US hegemony was 1945-present, which is important context for interpreting the grandparent comment and also the list.

Much of that list predates 1945. You can also exclude any internal repression when considering the effects of US hegemony, which is experienced only by people outside the US.

There's still a LOT to account for. Vietnam and Iraq being the two biggest.

I know what you mean! Unity3D has no way to simply draw a circle or pie chart into a texture.

It would be great to be able to use the canvas api (and any JavaScript library like d3 that uses canvas) to dynamically draw Unity3D textures.

To address that problem (and others), I'm been developing a Unity3D extension called UnityJS, which integrates a web browser and JavaScript with Unity3D, so you can use the canvas api to draw images for use as 2D user interface overlays and 3D mesh textures in Unity. And of course the other (main) point of UnityJS is to use JavaScript for scripting and debugging Unity apps, and integrate Unity apps with off-the-shelf JavaScript web libraries (d3, socket.io, whatever).

https://github.com/SimHacker/UnityJS/blob/master/doc/Anatomy...

Drawing on canvases actually works pretty well in the WebGL build, because the JavaScript runs in the same browser tab and address space that's running the Unity app, so you can efficiently blit the canvas's pixels right into Unity's texture memory.

(Although I don't believe there's a way to share the canvas texture directly through GPU memory, or even directly share Unity's ArrayBuffer memory, but it's fast enough for interactive user interface stuff, and millions of times better than the "portable" technique of writing out a data uri with a base 64 encoded compressed png file, which is the "standard" way of getting pixels out of the web browser! Web tech sure sucks!)

It’s not philosophical quibbling: Google does whatever makes them more money.

For all it is, allowing competitors to bid against each other just makes them more money. And the truth is that the customers who would click on a Lyft ad for “uber” query would not care if it was Uber indeed - as otherwise they would be intelligent enough to find Uber as a lower match.

So frankly “being the canonical source for the brand is a steep discount” is not their policy and I don’t really see how that policy is even motivated, financially or in terms of user-friendliness.

Control require investment on your part. For example when you drive, you don't do anything else (hopefully). There is only a limited amount of things you can control.

That's why VIPs like heads of state, high profile CEOs, etc... typically decide very little about their daily life. Some time it goes as far as not choosing what they wear and what they eat. That's because they have so much power that they can only control a very small part of it, and negotiating billion dollar contracts is more important than cooking breakfast.

Truth is, even if you think of yourself as a control freak, you probably have a whole lot of things you just want to work by itself. If you are a car enthusiast, you will probably want control over your car: manual transmission, self maintenance, use of aftermarket parts, custom paint job, etc... The car is one area where you want control for control sake, and that's fine and acknowledged in the article. But maybe fashion is not your thing, and when you want a suit for some formal event, you just go to a highly rated shop, ask the salesman and call it a day. Here, you don't want control, you don't want to spend hours finding the color that suit you best, match everything, etc... you just need a nice suit because you don't want to look like a clown during the event.
The ending of this article is a little hard to believe. It seems to end the exact way that the author would have wanted it to, something that is very uncommon behavior in teenagers in these situations.

sorry, I think I could have been clearer here.

When you log into a host with SSH agent forwarding turned on, the private key data itself isn't available to the host you're logging into. However, when you try to SSH onwards from that host, agent forwarding means that the authentication handshake is forwarded through to the agent running on your client, which of course has access to your private keys.

So, even though the private key data itself isn't directly available to the host, any code running which can inspect the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable of the session that just logged in can use that var to silently authenticate with other remote systems on your behalf.

If you've already found a list of candidate hosts (e.g. by inspecting ~/.ssh/known_hosts) then your malware can simply loop over the list, trying to log in as root@ (or user@) and compromising them however you like. Which is what happened here, by copying a malicious authorized_keys2 file with a malicious key onto the target hosts. You don't need to patch the ssh client; it's just ssh agent forwarding doing its thing. :|

It's not just about the word "socialist" in the party name. Policy actually fits, on that and more.

They were into government intervention and social spending.

They had gun control. (a prerequisite for hauling off the Jews)

They shipped an ethnicity off to prison camps, just as FDR did. FDR is on the left, is he not?

They had the Sturmabteilung to break up opponent's political meetings, rather like the violent protesters that were sent to attack Trump supporters at campaign events.

So it seems you may need to clear up a misapprehension. I suspect the mistake arises from the desire to maximize political distance from the Nazi party for yourself, while minimizing that distance for your opponents. You might also wrongly associate nationalism with racism. They are not the same. Both can be found on both sides of the political divide.

It is fair to say that the Nazi party was to the right of communism, the popular alternative at the time, but of course everything is to the right of communism.

Amazon S3 Path Deprecation Plan – The Rest of the Story
> For instance, we say “users want control over their privacy,” but what people really want is some subset of:

> To avoid embarrassment

> To avoid persecution

> … sometimes for doing illegal and wrong things

> To keep from having the creeping sensation they left something sitting out that they didn’t want to

> They want to make some political statement against surveillance

> They want to keep things from the prying eyes of those close to them

> They want to avoid being manipulated by bad-faith messaging

-----------

You forgot the two most important ones. Users want their privacy because.

A) they do not trust you.

B) They expect that everything they do, will be used against them. (eg providing an email address will result to receiving spam. Providing personal details to advertisers using them etc).

C) Info they leak, is leaked out forever. Today that might be ok, but circumstances might change tomorrow.

It is a bit dishonest to say that users want privacy because they want to do illegal things. Or that they want to make a statement against surveillance.

Wanting privacy is not a statement, it is an end-goal on its own.

Yes I am missing the point of the article but I had to point the above out.
Yes.

It's trivial to overdose non-lethally on MDMA and there's a good possibility for permanent brain damage when it occurs, even just from a single overdose. It seems to mostly damage memory from what I've seen.

Years ago when I knew people attending EDM festivals and researched these drugs to understand the risks, it sounded like most of the harm was caused by oxidative stress resulting from the excess serotonin released by the drug vs. normally sufficient standard levels of antioxidants being overwhelmed by all the activity.

AFAIK the same is not true for LSD and shrooms, certainly not marijuana.
> I.e., what needs to change, when current methods for 2D graphics have worked for years?

Very nearly every 2D graphics system uses software rasterization for handling generic paths. Many 2D graphics renderers are even just mostly software, using limited GPU acceleration for just basic blitting & blending of textures.

What changed is mobile happened, radically shifting the resolution vs. CPU performance balance, along with decent GPUs being suddenly a basic feature. Getting generic vector path performance up to par in this world to be a basic building block is now interesting.
That's because Europeans have their heads in the sand like ostriches about all forms of societal change.

I'm a Canadian that just moved back after 4 years in Europe, and I found it impossible to have a progressive-minded conversation with most europeans (not all, but much higher ratio than at home) - about feminism, rape culture, about racial discrimination, about unconscious bias, about migration and immigration.

Europe has figured out a pretty good well-balanced society for its' citizens, and is incapable of reacting to change.

This is why nationalism, racism, and yes - fascism - are on the rise throughout Europe. Because nobody worries about it, and nobody pays attention to it. They just see brown people at the train station, get nervous, and ask no follow-up questions.

Glad to see a shoutout to voxel.js here!

I worked on it for years and I had high hopes, wrote about my progress here: https://medium.com/@deathcap1/six-months-of-voxel-js-494be64.... Inventory, crafting, chests, texture packs, a plugin system, and embedded web views were some of my favorite features. My project was https://github.com/deathcap/voxelmetaverse, hosted at http://voxelmetaverse.com.

Unfortunately I haven't had time to develop it further, but it is all open source if anyone would like to pick up the torch.
It’s a very well written piece, but it just feels too well written, to the point of feeling to precise, too calculated, too... contrived. Aside from the opinions expressed, the ideological concerns, the relevance to the current political landscape - these are all relevant and interesting explorations, but the whole narrative is just too picture perfect and too close to a screenplay. It just feels like good fiction.
V100s are often memory bound when using tensor cores, yes. But I guess my point is broader than that. There is a "right shape" for hardware that wants to excel at a particular workload, depending on the arithmetic intensity, degree of temporal locality, and so on. The point is that you usually can't just turn up one dimension to eleven, it's not usually that simple.

For example, massively increasing the GPU last level cache size would not have the effect of increasing memory bw much on most workloads, because cache only helps when you have temporal locality and gpus like to stream through many GB of data.

This is covered in Hennessy and Patterson if you're curious to learn more. I also talk about it some in the video I linked above.

(Also I doubt that getting rid of f64 support would be a significant die size win. I notice that v100 has, in their marketing speak, twice the fp32 cores as fp64 cores. What do you think are the chances that Nvidia decided a priori this is the optimal ratio? What if instead they are sharing resources between these functional units, at a ratio of two to one?)

To the question of, do you really need fp32 cores, I am not aware of any "widely deployed" GPU model today that does not do significant fp32 work. Perhaps there is research which suggests this isn't necessary! But that is a different thing than we were talking about here, that Nvidia could somehow make a much better chip for the things people are doing today.

I don't want to speak to the question of whether TPUs have f32 hardware, because I'm afraid of saying something that might not be public. But I think the answer to your question can easily be found by some searching and is probably even in the public docs.
Anyone with real right wing ideas is the devil.
