I never used something like OpenSSI, but I'd be surprised if running over (presumably) Ethernet of the time worked well for an SSI compared with the "expensive" things like SGI Origin with fast links and hardware coherence. Solutions like that still exist, and there's the SCI standard. Current things like NVlink and CAPI seem to be rather in the same direction.

I don't think Kubernetes is a fundamentally different abstraction to the (HPC) distributed resource managers that ran on shared- and distributed-memory systems of the time. (In that space MPI somewhat standardizes remote memory access and process spawning.)

I don't think React is really competing with Vue as much anymore. Solving the problems of a virtual DOM in a better way is a minor improvement compared to not having a virtual DOM at all. The older virtual DOM frameworks are competing with Svelte.

The payload is encrypted not the destination IP. Otherwise how would routers be able to route the packet?

What they're saying is that Warp+ will send the packet across their private network rather than sending just on the plain internet.

For example:

You're in Italy.
You want to send a packet to a server in New York.

On the internet the path is unpredictable. Because there's a lot of hops from different networks etc.

Cloudfare are saying that your packet will enter their Italy PoP. (they may have more on the country I don't know)

Then via their separate private network, it will travel to the New York PoP.

Then out to the internet to the destination.

People shouldn't bring it up?

Just because they build up doesn't mean they're not legitimate grievances, and I don't see rms changing one bit.

Responses always seem out of proportion because media coverage creates attention and makes people reconsider longstanding issues. That might seem like a manufactured mob, but it isn't, it's just focusing all of the discontent that piled up over the years.

We need better feedback loops, sure. But we also need people that listen, and RMS would fail there already.

The one incident that got attention now stems from rms having absolutely no filter and no sense of what's appropriate to say at what time and additionally seemingly prioritising his dead friends honor over believing victims even if you want to argue him being just about technically correct by using specific wording (there is no fucking way you are oblivious to people being coerced into sex this visiting Epsteins Island, just none).

This is not a one off thing. When RMS does his church of emacs skit and keeps pointing at a young woman in the audience whenever he says the word virgin, when RMS asks someone their name, if they work at MIT and then if they'd like to date right away, when people literally cover their offices in plants because Stallman doesn't like them... this guy should have been told to be better or get the fuck out years ago, but instead because he's adored by nerds all over people put up with his childish insistence on doing things exactly his way, using his personal redefinition of words (fuck rms for shitting on singular they) and leaving his behavior unchallenged because you know he'll throw a huge tantrum if you don't.

Don't get me wrong, I love hooks because I know how to use them, but there's so many easy pitfalls with them, and I constantly have to pester people about them in code reviews, if so many people in my company (and wider) misuse them by accident, it makes me me doubt how well thought out they are.

I know some people have a thing for arcane programming (for a lack of better word), but in my opinion it just makes code harder to write, understand, and even statically analyse.

Not to mention, the official lining for hooks leaves a lot to be desired for, especially because some internal React return values are treated magically by the linter (useState, useReducer to name a few) when it comes to hook dependency management.
Twitter is an interesting case where I feel that they found their ideal feature set by around 2011 or so. They had chronological tweets, likes and retweets worked logically, everything was great. Unfortunately, they never made any money this way and needed to increase "user engagement" to show us more ads. So they abandoned the chronological timeline for what they thought was best, they started randomly showing stranger's likes. At least they've finally given back the option to switch to "Latest Tweets", but it's pretty telling that the site 'forgets' that setting every month or so and tries to show you what they think you want again.
My thoughts exactly. The only true way is to appear to have never been there forensically, leave no sort of evidence. Security through obscurity only works in some instances.
> But in practice it often means diligence which is often not correlated to effectiveness in most (not all) fields of knowledge work.

How are you defining "effective" here? Anecdotally, all of the major bugs I've had to unfuck in the past years can be traced back to lack of due diligence. The "works on my machine" / "tested with N = 1" crowd.

Yes, but how many of them are going to waste time playing pointless games like Horizon online? How many people that would play such a game haven't already? To say that there are a lot of Facebook users and that that naturally means a lot of players is strange given that VR headsets are still a luxury item and that Facebook Horizon doesn't essentially offer anything novel outside that.

> They never played second life or minecraft.

> "We" have done this, most humans haven't.

Similarly, most humans haven't played Horizon, and there is as far as I'm concerned no compelling reason to believe that a lot of people will. Who would waste their time in that disgusting looking world and present themselves using a bland Wii-like avatar?

I'm migrating one of my sites from jQuery (+ server-generated HTML) to Svelte. I like how Svelte+rollup make it easy to replace just a part of a website (take HTML from a file, put it into Foo.svelte, back in the original file insert <script>new App.Foo({target: document.body, props: { /* data */ }})</script> [0]). Instead of generating HTML, server-side scripts now generate JSON, which could be used later to make a proper API.

I don't like handling of "undefined" and "null" values in properties[1]. It would also be nice to have optional properties so that warnings wouldn't get emitted to JS console. Also, someone should investigate iOS bugs[2]. It would be bad if someone made complex site in Svelte+Sapper and only later discovered it lags on iOS.

Overall performance is okay, but it's visible to a naked eye that Svelte parts render later than the rest of the website.

All in all, I would recommend giving Svelte devs few more months before moving to it. But definitely keep an eye on it, it has great ergonomics (maybe except for styling subcomponents, but some say it's a code smell anyway).

We still have a lot of features that we will like to add in the future such as speech-to-text, audio commands, editing and more but this is the core of Audlist and we wanted to launch asap to see the reaction of users and prioritize what people really want.

Everyone has their own preference. I just kinda like the idea of more lightweight software. Thunderbird is based on a lot of old Mozilla code, if it were redone solely off of Servo that would be something, servo for message rendering but the rest of the UI can be native or just similar and not too JS heavy if the UI is some Servo HTML UI.

First person accounts are evidence. Some have witnesses.
I have only published two (unimportant) articles in the Philosophy of Mind about computationalism, so I'm certainly not an expert on this, but from what I gather from colleagues in philosophy who work in this area, the problem with "consciousness" is that everybody defines the notion differently. Maybe there is some convergence on some soft criteria, but these are loose and in the end there is no unified, agreed upon definition or way to measure consciousness.

IMHO, that makes a meaningful discussion difficult. Probably most ways of looking at consciousness don't depend on language - consciousness does not even imply self-consciousness, so it's not easy to see why it should. However, it shouldn't be hard to make a philosophical case for a dependence, too. In the end, it's questionable whether any of those theories are empirically testable.

That's my impression, though admittedly I'm not really working in that area.
Clever. You could also use a ring shifter so you only need reset and clock for one of the rows.
Used to use neomutt on Debian. Still use it on OpenBSD. Have it set up to convert weird file formats to text automatically which ends up covering most of the stuff I get. Few emails actually need docx, html, etc formating so it is not much of a bother to just save any that do and use the appropriate program. Much more convenient than having to deal with random spawned programs for everything.
Good Idea? yes and no.

The biggest problem I find is makes expectations _high_ from the beginning, which is a bad idea.

Most data projects are about managing expectations.

Also, it is _very_ hard to demonstrate that your model works if the customer does not have (yet) some graphics to compare against.

Your first step should be _showing_ the data just to have a visual baselite to compare against.
I thought it was a fair question.

For people not expert or completely current in web development - especially in the context of a field not unknown for jumping on every shiny new magic bullet - it's quite reasonable to ask what major problems are arising that need a new framework learning every week.
Notice that the method is essentially pattern-matching, nothing more: it is even simpler than object recognition. As a matter of fact, that is the way any "competent" student works with integration and solving differential equations.

I am not trying to underestimate the value of the work but those problems are very much what DNN are trained to solve, are they not?

The fact that they are "symbolic" is just an artifice of the problem: they are no more symbolic than a series of colors, if you tell me.

That is why they can be automated (mostly) and why "tricks" to solve families of them can be developed.
You are assuming that Aqua implies that Stallman publishing his personal opinions in his blog was the issue.

Summary of the Fuzzy bits part that I found super interesting:

To detect an original from a copy, the game was reading a particular sector several time ensuring it got different bit values for this sector at least some of the times.

Original floppy copies of the game contain these "fuzzy" sectors. As the floppy drive in consumer machine was not able to write such fuzzy sectors, an illegal copy could be spotted by the game by simply checking that every read of this supposedly fuzzy sector was yielding always the same sequence of bits (that was determined when read by the floppy drive making the illegal copy in the first place).

Now how can a sector yield different values for every read ? Some bit cells of the fuzzy sector were (purposedly) temporally mis-aligned; coupled to the micro-variations of the read speed of the floppy drive at every read, this yielded different sequence of bits on consecutive reads.
Svelte is:

- smaller (it compiles your app, and doesn't include itself in the results)

- faster (no virtual DOM, the data to elements are mapped at compile time)

- simpler - `age = 30` no boring state management.

I've heard a lot that the new "high efficiency" washers are a bit of a joke; while they may use less resources, they also are far less effective at cleaning, which just causes users to run the cycle multiple times.

It somewhat reminds me of the old saying about optimisation in software: "The most efficient way to do something is to not do it at all."

Not exactly something to follow when it comes to cleaning, however...

> The only thing I'm interested in defending is that Stallman said that Minsky couldn't have committed sexual assault if we assume that his victim "presented herself as willing"

Well, your initial argument was different (and nonsensical, which is why I tried to reinterpret it). I quote:

> He said that an underage sex trafficking victim's "plausible" apparent consent means that the people who raped her did not commit sexual assault.

The determination whether something was rape is intrinsically linked to whether something is a sexual assault(since rape is a kind of sexual assault...). If using legal terminology, your interpretation is just plainly incoherent. Otherwise, this kind of sloppy usage of terminology is exactly what Stallman was arguing against. The words "sexual assault" and "rape", outside their legal definitions, evoke quote Stallman: "moral vagueness of the nature of the criticism". This is quite clearly demonstrated by the myriad of commentary on the issue, which would blame Minsky for:

- this was strictly rape, it doesn't matter whether he knew or not

- he was recklessly careless, given the oddity of the situation, he should have done more due diligence

- he was creepy for accepting the proposal from the girl

This "accusation inflation", as Stallman puts it, leads to a classic motte-and-bailey doctrine, where one presents the strongest accusation, and when challenged, falls back to the lesser offenses, which can garner much more support. As soon as the challenger disappears, the accuser usually reverts back to the strongest accusation. I believe this is what Stallman was arguing against - if you dislike Minsky's conduct, be explicit in what you dislike about it.

Once you put both "sexual assault" and "rape" on the same side in Stallman's argument, it becomes much less controversial. Yet you characterized it as: "While I believe that what he said[2] is so far beyond the pale of responsible discourse"

How can it possibly be "so far beyond the pale of responsible discourse" if it is the legal reality in a notable number of states and many countries? This was even brought up in the mailing list, I paraphrase: "if he had sex with her, and she was a minor, it was rape - that's the law". To give examples, in Massachusetts, the age of consent is 16; in California, there is no strict liability; in the UK, there is only strict liability for children under 13.

I can imagine reasonable arguments for or against strict liability(as I already mentioned earlier), but what I can't imagine is categorically declaring that this is "beyond the pale of responsible discourse". None of your replies expanded on this point.
Uh, the world was different a decade ago?
In this case, the ability to experience positive and negative mental states, can be used in place of consciousness.

Especially the ability to experience suffering might offer reasonable basis for approaching ethical questions.

In terms of animal rights this is as simple as assuming that at least most vertebrae experience mental states, incl. suffering, from at least shortly after birth (which we can safely do)

In terms of abortion, this still leaves us with the additional question of weighing contrary interests of 2 individuals. This is trivial when weighing the interests of pregnant person vs sth like a 10-week fetus (obviously incapable of experiencing mental states) but maybe not sufficient for arguments about 30+ weeks fetuses, depending on personal values

It does.

FSF main goal was freedom and protecting fundamental liberties of each individual

Stallman main contribution to FSF was the GPL, a legal framework, FSF main contribution was pro bono legal support defending free software in court.

So, yeah, if FSF cannot defend its founder, most popular and most honorable member, it becomes basically useless, it follows it was the wrong thing to do.
