>If you don't have a 4x4 Chelsea Tractor lobby, you can just use bendy buses.

I fail to see the specific connection between the SUV drivers and bendy buses, as these articulated buses were operational on only 12 routes out of 700+ due to their restrictions. If the implication is that these buses were taken out of circulation due to a vocal lobby of car owners of certain luxury marques, living in salubrious boroughs, then it is a preposterous suggestion. The real reason is that this bus was a death machine ─ snaking along the streets ─ killing cyclists, bikers, pedestrians and motorists alike. Amongst a catalogue of flaws, ranging from being prone to catching fire to acquiring the label of 'free bus' by fare dodgers; it's only saving grace in the near-decade long operation was being wheelchair-friendly.

>If anything had gone right, SF should be a HK-like dystopian city filled with electronics and high-tech.

Do you know what dystopian means? Generally speaking it's not something people pine for.

ADDED: Opinions will of course differ as to whether SF should have more aggressively transformed to be more like Hong Kong. (Which is an extremely expensive city with serious housing problems BTW.)
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ tracks UK legislation -- you can see "as enacted" and "as amended". They even go through and note where new legislation has an impact on existing legislation without changing the text!

Only for already passed legislation, rather than pending, though.
Realistically, this is the kind of restriction that's in place to impede the high-frequency & low-capability regime in the space of non-nation-state (or, historically e.g. the 70s, non-peer nation) threats.
> I think the key issue with the optimizations that ICC is performing for C++ but Rust is not doing in this case is just FP-contraction, which is related to, but not the same as, assuming associativity.

I think associativity is necessary to vectorize reduction operations like:

r+=(c[i]-a[i]*b[i])*a[i]*(c[i]-a[i]*b[i]);

I haven't looked at the code generated by ICC, but I would expect it to vectorize this by computing tuples of "partial sums", roughly as follows:

r0 += (c[i+0]-a[i+0]*b[i+0])*a[i+0]*(c[i+0]-a[i+0]*b[i+0]);
r1 += (c[i+1]-a[i+1]*b[i+1])*a[i+1]*(c[i+1]-a[i+1]*b[i+1]);
r2 += (c[i+2]-a[i+2]*b[i+2])*a[i+2]*(c[i+2]-a[i+2]*b[i+2]);
...

and then doing a horizontal sum r = r0 + r1 + r2 + ... in the end. But this requires associativity. (And commutativity, but that's a given.)
that doesn't stop it being an esolang

... although the code quality of the examples makes it look a million times more like one than it needs to
I would agree. The Democrats could easily have won in 2016 if they had actually tried to win. Same may happen in 2020. Instead of coming up with a vision for the country they are wasting their time and energy in impeachment. Just get f...ing elected! Actually have a plan!
I disagree with your last sentence. I use vim exclusively. Granted, I don't use vanilla vim very often so I'm with you on the proper IDE functionality, but I disagree on what the proper IDE is :P.
pedantry:
ffast-math does not always trade precision. It simply trades the results being the same as if they were not vectorized. A vectorized sum of floats for instance is more accurate, not less.
Great idea, groups: yes, totally. Easier said than done but that's definitely a great boulevard.

You touch a critical point too. I've pondered the matter of "how to make the other side(s) do what you want?" in many fields, from sales to politics passing by business or education. Here's my observation: the ideal way to win is when the other side wins as well.

You have to make it so there's something in it for them and something in it for you; and doing this immensely reduces the friction of the whole transition —and said friction is always paid, either by money we don't have or that they will spend to block us, or by users in UX and frustration; both risk the whole success.

It's exactly the same for the "99% versus 1%" situations: no common ground means no solution, but you have to think out of the box. Example for economics: less inequalities in a country tend to produce longer life expectancy even for the highest 1% — because better nurses, better emergency workers, better infrastructures e.g. roads, better construction for hospital norms, etc. Same thing with education for their children, all the services we share at a 'collective enough' level. That's an example of a win-win argument that should be used by those in the 99%, and are definitely put forward by advocates within the 1%.

I think you don't win against Facebook, or Google or Amazon and Apple. You win by incentivizing them to join the movement, because we all together work to make overall better for everyone. We massively grow the pie, so that even less shares means more of what each party wants —profit for some, freedom for others, security for all, etc.

It's the only sustainable way to 'win' imho, free of retaliation fears or cyclic trends, you just 'clean' the problem once and for all with a self-sustainable solution. You win survival not against pre-existing tensions but with co-dependency / harmony, even parasitism, finding the ways to co-exist and both thrive.
> my eye was on the babies, and I couldn’t help but notice that one of them was chubbier, calmer and more beautiful than the others. My baby alone ... was much better than any of the others. Why wasn’t anyone remarking on this?

I am fascinated by this phenomenon. I remember my kid being in a school play when he was young: everybody who wanted could be in it and they clearly added trivial non-speaking spots for kids who might not have passed an audition but still wanted to be on stage. He had one of those! Yet whenever he was on the stage he just dominated -- expanded to fill the whole field of view. At least for me. I really recognized this phenomenon years later when I watched another play which had two kids in its cast who were really good. Probably the first time I really noticed that there were even other kids on the stage.

As for new parents groups: they really are for mothers and aren't about the babies. So I understand what she felt ("It was around the time I abandoned my third or fourth new moms group that I began to consider the possibility that I might be the problem."). And I mean mothers: as a father I was clearly not welcome (this was back in the late 1990s). At the park I was definitely viewed with suspicion by the other mothers even though I was a regular, and none would really talk to me (that's OK, I had EE times and the NYRB). Back then I was the only father pushing a pram around downtown Palo Alto in the middle of the day, and certain segments of the population clearly treated me with scorn. After the 2000 crash I saw more fathers doing this and I hope this has changed to some extent.

Interestingly at a party this phenomenon didn't appear, which I feel was due to context: if I was carrying a baby I believe the presumption was this was a dad being cute and "helping out" and that the rest of the child rearing was done by the mother (in fact she did a lot but had no patience for the American baby rituals). I saw this play out in other countries when I had the baby (and later child).

I don't agree that the child controls the process, but rather the child is a big responsibility, and that controls the process. Frankly owning a home is a lot of responsibility too, but the home is not in control.

While Yang seems nice on the surface, his policy idea to finance 1000€ in cash per month for everyone by a VAT is a prime example of a regressive tax policy. If you spend ~2000€ a month at ~10% that is 200€ already gone. So you end up paying out something like Hartz IV Level (German Social Security) to everyone. I can’t imagine that it would be particularly fun to support yourself based on that.

The Royal Society is a non-profit organisation - the income is used mostly to fund research, but also to fund scientific collaboration, and on public policy to try and ensure governments are making decisions that are not completely ignorant of the scientific evidence (of course they can then ignore that evidence).

From the RS financial statements, the income from its publishing side raises about £7.5m per year, and the publishing expenditure costs are about £3.5m per year. So that's around £4m/year that is invested in science that otherwise wouldn't be.

I think many RS fellows would like to see the RS journals become open access all the time. But it would mean that less research could be funded.

Disclaimer: I'm a fellow, but I don't have any insight into future plans on this front.
That has nothing to do with capitalism and more to do with our tax laws, but more importantly if you have a mortgage, kids, aging parents, etc you should probably get a job with a stable salary instead of gambling with startup equity. At the end of the day it comes down to responsible choices.

To sum up: LLVM is heavily optimized for C code, not so much for Rust. So Rust code has to imitate certain C mannerisms for the optimizer to kick in.

I don't think he's the _only_ one but his typical campaign messaging puts an awful lot of effort into addressing poverty and lack of opportunity in manufacturing which is interpreted by many on the left as pandering to the alt right (the very comments about white male suicides and overdoses is literally treated as a "dogwhistle for the alt right" by hypersensitive leftists). Yang spins this kind of socioeconomic disaster into an automation focused explanation for why Trump won 2016, which is what many on the left do not accept either because they oftentimes accept the Clintonian explanation of Russian, racism, etc. rather than a terrible (well-qualified, still terrible) candidate and campaign (that ignored middle America and presumed it'd win).n

>I don't think even most American white people view their economic status and fear of the future through the lens of their own racial identity.

Personally, I would also prefer to leave race out of it. However, in the Democratic Party 2020 primary, racial identity and "intersectionality" is at the top of everyone's mind. In that environment, I think it is unwise to address every racial group by name except for the largest one.

>This isn't a racial issue - the decline of Middle America is not the decline of white America.

The data shows that something uniquely bad is happening to white Americans [0]:

"We focus on non‐Hispanic whites because their mortality trends were particularly adverse in the last decade and differ from those of non‐Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics."

"The underlying mechanisms driving mortality trends for non‐Hispanic whites are fundamentally different from those driving trends for other racial/ethnic groups, as suggested by James and Cossman (2017)."

It really is working like that for any global communities. Reddit, HN, facebook, twitter, there is no escaping it. As soon as a community is big enough to cut personal connections you're in for troubles.

I'm on a few hobby forums which are either restricted to a geographic area or a very niche hobby and there is literally no drama, everyone is chill, arguments are civilised, you can talk about everything but it never gets out of control. It's like talking to your parents or your best friend who has a diametrically opposed opinion vs screaming at a stranger you disagree with at a political rally.
Of course it's from a wealthy perspective. The author was raising her kid in Silicon Valley in the the 2000s. Even before the startup/VC explosion, it was expensive to live there. It's a good piece of writing, but also very sheltered and privileged. Not everyone has the luxury to romanticize parenting as a "hostage situation" where the child is always in control.

Ok I gave in and looked at another two:

"Exposure to Room Light before Bedtime Suppresses Melatonin Onset and Shortens Melatonin Duration in Humans":

* nothing about blue light

* didn't measure actual effects, just melatonin levels.

"The human circadian system adapts to prior photic history":

* nothing about blue light

* didn't measure actual effects, just melatonin levels.

So zero out of three studies in your link I looked at support the claims. As you posted these studies: Can you point me to a single study from that list that supports your claims?

I honestly don't remember exactly where, but I was reading a wiki for psychonauts once and it provided a scale for the potency of a dose (e.g. No effect, threshold, etc) and the metric they used was the observer's ability to consciously resist the effects of the drug - kind of like when you're drunk or stoned and try to "force" yourself to sober up.

I’m just not sure whether or not some of the things I see were always there, and I just didn’t notice, or just didn’t care.

Like, for example, blurred after images (“trails”) when I wave my hands around.

I see them all the time. I’m just not sure they are new. I suspect I experienced that visual effect prior to doing psychedelics, then when on psychedelics they looked really cool and “trippy” and now I’m just conscious of it as a result of that.

Or else permanent low grade hallucinations.

But it really doesn’t seem so.

I see patterns in the dark visual space that occurs when my eyes are closed. Pretty sure everyone will see something - subtle colors, moving shapes, etc if they stare at the backs of their eyelids for a bit. But you don’t really notice unless you deliberately pay attention to it while meditating, or while on some drug, or even feverish, or go into or out of sleep, or whatever.

I wonder if it’s all just a matter of taking common and inevitable visual distortions a little too seriously.

> Presumably, you are doing work that adds value for someone and/or society.

You can do that without being paid for it, and then you can control your own schedule completely.

> It's also a form of security should the online income suddenly dry up.

That's fair, but chances are if you managed to build something that generates enough passive income to live off of then you probably won't have much difficulty finding a job if you needed to.

> It can also be a source of healthy social connections.

I personally thing relying on work for social interaction is a terrible idea.

> If someone's life works, changing some piece of it could cause it to come apart rapidly. Why risk that?

Fair enough, but all I'm saying is I don't really understand how it works for them. To me, my job is just how I put food on the table, and my pursuit of money is purely so that one day I can do that without having to sell my time to someone else.

Hasn't the HongKong protests been going on for a while and with changing dynamics in protests and response. BBC reported many protests, is there one in particular that should of been more reported upon that springs to mind - for me, nope.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=protests

Sure choice of facts and style can and does show a middle-left bias, but as for agenda. If it is that crystal clear, then what is it!

I will say though, the trend of media outlets to report opinions of interviewers as news and for the populus to take those avenues of news and run with them as facts, has been something that plays out upon social media. This then as we have seen, is used by news outlets as sources of news (ala Tweets have becomes news sources now). This does create the potential for massive feedback loops. But then, no media outlet seems immune to that.
I think you’ve nailed for me the difference between superficial trendiness and rich culture, in an urban setting
Hong Kong is a very recent former British colony, the nature of the protests are unique and there's a large public interest in the Hong Kong protests specifically. This doesn't mean the BBC isn't biased, but the number of articles isn't an indication of bias in the way that people would normally use the term I think. How are you measuring the significance of protests against each other to figure out which deserve more or less attention?

Yup, only trouble is the app says "stage 3 loadshedding" and then your power is on. The next day the app says "no loadshedding" and hey look, the power is off.

This varies a bit, in rural areas it can be much worse, but often the municipalities are the culprits there.

In terms of meditation, I've been using Sam Harris' "Waking Up" app as it's chimed with me greatly; I was originally using Headspace, but it didn't click with me in the same way (plus I'm a fan of Harris and have listened to his podcast since it began).

Alexander Technique lessons have been a revelation in terms of understanding how I move, and how much tension I was carrying in my body all the time, plus learning to use the 'right' muscles in the body for posture. There is also an element of meditative mindset present with both my teachers, which has helped with my default 'judgemental' mind-state. I think that Alexander Technique is hugely important, but it's subtle and difficult to describe - I think it's a case of going for a few lessons and seeing if it works for/with you, as it sounds like "woo" to a lot of people - it did to me until I tried it.

I think the combination of all these things has helped greatly to move me in the right direction towards a better way of living, and not fighting myself all the time.
They absolutely do lie. I found a few examples within a couple of weeks when I was really looking a few years ago. It was not long after Trump was elected and I found them all in about two weeks. I saw an article on the BBC news site reporting on the French National Front's plan to refuse school places to the children of illegal immigrants. The BBC changed "illegal immigrants" to "foreigners". Multiple times throughout the article (at every point in fact) this change was made; clearly not accidental and clearly designed to demonise the French NF by misreporting their policy.
Another; I also saw an headline on the BBC news site along the lines of "Trump separates mother from child". On reading the article it was a sad case of illegal immigrants caught in the US. The problem being that Trump had literally nothing to do with it, he hadn't even been inaugurated at that point and the unfortunate mother and child were caught up in longstanding legislation.
Trump featured again in one where he referenced some Mexican drug cartel -- known for decapitating their rivals -- as animals. The BBC reported it as "Trump refers to Mexicans as 'animals'".
It pains me to say it but the BBC is certainly not above outright fake news to forward their agenda.
