>we live in at least nominally Democracy, there is culpability on every American unless they take any action. This weight is what bears down on people, but it seems that you are, rather worryingly, insulated or alienated from this violence.

Constantly exposing yourself to and decidedly feeling immense personal guilt for all the violence perpetrated in a country of 300+ million and/or a world of 7+ billion is hopelessly naive and self sabotaging, unless you fancy yourself a God who is out to save the world.

> Thanks for the response. I'm mostly familiar with Google Docs in the workplace, where it was apparent who was reading what document at a particular moment from a list of users at the upper-right.

Right, which is the notion behind the Activity Dashboard in Docs too (GSuite only). If you left a doc open and watched who popped up, you can effectively know who views a document, so it was exposed as a panel instead. You can disable your own activity showing up for document editors (which applies retroactively) from that same pane. (https://i.imgur.com/AOGmj40.png)

Obviously, in GSuite especially, view activity is recorded and your GSuite admin can audit that activity, but that's kind of an obvious need for a business.

> Separately, on my personal account, at some point I viewed a publicly shared document from a well-known person, and that ended up in my "shared documents" (or "documents shared with you"?) for ages. I wasn't sure if that sharing was evident in both directions. I've avoided clicking on shared Google Drive documents since then.

If you open a link-shared document, it add it to your Shared With Me list (and Recent list), but none of that is visible to the sharer. If you're worried about even "Anonymous Fox" showing up, go to the /preview url, e.g. https://docs.google.com/document/d/<docid>/preview. This still adds it to Shared With Me/logs events on your account (it'll show up in your Quick Access results), but none of it is visible to the sharer and they won't even see your icon.

> it's hard not to assume it's also happening with PDF's shared via Google Drive, simply because you can't know what the other person is seeing.

This is a struggle, I agree. I work on it and sometimes I struggle to remember what applies on GSuite vs. consumer. It's a complicated product and therefore doesn't have one straightforward answer, especially in light of the myriad of policies that GSuite admins can enable/disable. For instance, whether we even record your search queries in Drive (for showing as recent searches in Drive) is controlled by a policy your admin can set.

> It's especially hard when there is an asymmetry (e.g. in a non-GSuite environment, I can see some publicly shared document in my "shared with me" list, but I guess the sharer can't see me).

Right. Consumer: shows up in SWM, GSuite: shows up in SWM & you show up in Activity Dashboard to editors (unless you turn it off as shown in https://i.imgur.com/AOGmj40.png -- it may default to off in your organization anyways).
Good luck disputing such a thing, having been a victim of the scam it is _really_ difficult. On the flip side, with my short stint as a driver for Lyft (6 months ish) you wouldn’t believe the attitude that a lot of drivers have, and this is a common thing around my parts (Broward, FL). Drivers literally brag to each other about it, it’s kind of sickening.

It seems that in practice the issue is not keto vs vegan vs omnivore but that all of those proponents of extreme diets like full vegan or full carnivore usually measure their food intake carefully to ensure they get enough of all macros (carbs, fat, protein).

This measuring alone ensures that they get enough fats, which seem to be the main reason for brain fog in most people (combined with too much artifical sweets).

Also because of this extreme diet they completely throw all all processed food & artifical sugar/sweets.

I'd be surprised if this wasn't intentional, based on the premise.
Correct. Most people misunderstand this and think that hardware accelerated drawing is all what they need, but there's another element: decoding. No browsers support (officially) hw-accelerated video decoding on Linux. Compare CPU usage of 4K in-browser video playback on Win and on Linux, the difference is major. On Linux, one CPU core is almost maxed out when playing 4K, on Windows the CPU barely does anything.

You can patch Chromium but no distros ship it like that.

If you'd like I'm happy to provide references to Chromium and Firefox bugtrackers that support the above.

For clearer writing and simpler programming, I would go for Tactical Barbell and Simple and Sinister over Wendler.

Doug Hepburn's programs (which can be found online with a minute of Googling) are also great for people looking at Wendler, but want something simple that can be run nearly indefinitely.
I've been an active chess player myself for a long time and for the last 8-10 years not just with the advance of engines but also online streaming there has been a lot of renewed interest. Saint Louis has become a big chess hub in the US, China has become a major player, Anand has rekindled interest in India, Carlsen in Europe and I would say today it is more popular than it has been in a long time, in particular in Asia.

As to the direct influence of engines the other innovations aside, it has definitely forced players at the very top to re-evaluate the chess metagame, find weaknesses in traditional openings and shook up strategies. For the strongest players engine evaluation has become a useful tool providing new insights. When people watch chess tournaments these days on the internet most websites will provide parallel engine suggestions and commentators use engines to take hints for their commentary.

In my opinion, engines have made the game more competitive at the pro-level and more accessible for casual viewers.
KIO is also gaining that capability.

I have never got omnisharp to work reliably- spent quite a bit of time on it, too. I'm wondering if I should try again or just give up...
I surmise the following reasons:

Poorer populations have less access to sex education.

The government pays $850 a fortnight to a single mother, on top of a $5000 baby bonus and various other incentive schemes. Poor social classes see this as an easy means of money compared to working a "dead-end" job.

Maybe they have kids to escape their reality. People cope in different ways; drugs, drinking etc. Maybe they desperately want to live through their kids.
I agree that this is an elegant lens with which to view the world, and I love writing and computers and all that. But I don't think that oral histories are necessarily worse in both content and process.

From my understanding, indigenous Australians and Polynesians had rich oral histories and cultures. Also oral culture may be more adaptable than a musty written document that never changes and must be followed. The human experience of living in an oral culture is naturally being lost, but it doesn't mean it was wrong or bad. I find it fascinating to imagine what life was like for them, how they did things differently.
I guess it's not surprising that at some point less ethical drivers would start to do this. (And of course the rideshare services very poor rates for their drivers probably pushes more people to behave unethically to make working for Uber, Lyft, etc. more economically sustainable for them).

I guess the logical response is for Uber & Lyft to lean towards believing the customer in these situations, not the driver. Which is going to understandably anger a bunch of drivers who are left holding the bag when passengers legitimately make a mess of their vehicles. And the logical response to that is for all these drivers to get cameras in their cars filming the interiors so they can prove it. I guess outward facing dash cams are already pretty common in areas where accident fraud is common, so maybe that's (unfortunately) the likely end-state here.
It’s a shame that poor social interaction skills get rewarded by overvaluing technical prowess. It creates an exclusive environment where only other aggressive people (men, usually) thrive, there by decreasing total numbers of potential contributors.

I’ve seen friends grow their professional skills in this environment, learning that being a jerk is ok. They then try to transfer this to corporate employment, leading to predictable issues. They of course don’t understand their own role in these issues, blaming everyone else who just “don’t get it.”

> they will surely not be happy with a modern Linux distro either.

Depends on what modern Linux distro you're talking about. In fact, probably any can run with much less. It all depends on how they're configured.

I'm running Archlinux on a Raspberry Pi Zero. It's using 38.9M of its RAM right now.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was totally floored, and I struggled to explain the significance to non-go players.

My respect for AI increased drastically that day, and (honestly) I developed a small amount of fear due to how AlphaGo’s style of play was not understood particularly well (e.g., some of the moves would absolutely be called “slack” if played by a human).
Because some users value privacy, and if you can't access the web without interacting with Google or Facebook, then you have a problem.
That's definitely not true if you're using an NVIDIA GPU.
The privacy issues in Windows 8/10 are a bit scary for some, so if you want to do gaming Windows 7 is your best choice.
> I would absolute stomp the vision SDK on accuracy

I suspect our recognition abilities may in fact be worse than that of a good SDK but we have the advantage of a general real world experience. Bit of a simplified example, in order to recognize a dog you should have seen a lot of various animals, have a basic knowledge of anatomy, animal behaviour etc. A lot of the times recognizing the context helps too: e.g. something on a lead ahead of a walking human in the street, likely a dog - you need only a very quick confirmation to say it's definitely a dog, etc.

I also think the brain does a lot of tree searches with optimizations (which are never perfect), and it's where the brain's parallel architecture proves to be beneficial.

Intuitively though, modern computers are still not powerful enough to perform the same tasks albeit mostly sequentially. I believe we'll get there and I think AGI in a simplified virtual/gaming environment is the best place to test our approaches.
Interesting perspective. Are you suggesting Ukraine is the real Russian people? Also, where does that leave Belorussia?
This reminds me that "but think of the children" mantra. From my observation programmers often tend to justify / promote their languages/tools/etc under pretense of solving security problems.
I appreciate the sentiment. If you look at sports records over time, everything gets continuously improves. Whether this is because of genetics or technology is up for debate, but I'm reminded of a funny (probably false) quote from an ex-Commissioner of US patent office: "everything that can be invented has been invented".

The point is we don't really know what limits exist beyond our small pinhole of perception. During industrialization I'm sure people said the same thing: "What's the point of hand-made clothing if machines can do it?". Today both hand-made and factory-made clothing have their place in the market.

Throughout history, tools have disrupted humanity and we've adjusted and expanded our horizons. To me this feels like another wave, and If I could bet and could collect winnings centuries in the future, I'd say this isn't even the last one.
Right. Now imagine it didn't. What then?
A nonprofit corporation is one answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonprofit_corporation

But if you’re not being literal when you ask about values beyond profit, then as an easy example: Valve. They believe in promoting PC gaming and moving it forward. I think their service (and products) represents that value fairly well, and sometimes at the expense of profit.
France only has high labor productivity because the least productive people don't have jobs (at least not formal jobs counted in official statistics).
"Why would you assume that the military would just go along with the killings of average Americans?"

Remember Kent State?

In the hypothetical scenario where there is armed insurgency against the US government and US military, I don't doubt that the US military would do what it had to do to suppress such an insurgency. Yes, there could be some dissent in the military against doing that, but short of an all-out civil war, they would obey.

I know, I work in digital image processing, and I'm an amateur astrophotographer. Demosaicing is not on the same level as star registration, stacking (posibly HDR processing in the middle), plus some more AI driven "magic" in between.

That's what I'm referring to: for the shown image "without post-processing" the phone has performed a lot more actions after demosaicing, that's why i say it was heaviliy processed.

Glad you enjoyed it.

For clang users things would get a lot better if someone just fixed a lot of clang bugs.

Omniscient debugging creates new opportunities to overcome the impact of optimizations. E.g. are you trying to display the value of a variable after its live range ended? No problem, look back in time to when it was live. However, in many cases we need extensions to debuginfo to take advantage of that; e.g. DWARF can't express the difference between "variable outside live range, but has not been modified" and "we don't know where it is".

If we had a debug build and an opt build of the same program then there are some mad-science approaches that would be fun to try.

So I actually think the perf/debuggability tradeoff is not fundamental and with the right resources we could mostly make it go away.
The parent where thread started claims that the small time resistance with small guns is what will stop the governmental tyranny and army. Which is not what stops the governmental tyranny, no matter how brave those people are.

The argument is about whether it can protect the freedom, not whether resistance (or refusal to cooperate) with whatever tools available deserve celebration.

The bravery alone does not stop armies and did not stopped the armies. Power, actual power did it in all those cases. (And for that matter, bad guys were brave too, sacrificed a lot too, just for the bad cause.)

It looks like visa fraud. The idea is that they signed up for a transparently false university (that claimed to be real, but obviously wasn't) in order to stay in the country when they otherwise were not legally entitled to.

I'm not a big fan of proprietary software in general, but to be honest Nvidia proprietary driver is decent software as long as it's not laptop and you're running stable distribution.
I've found Alpine, AntiX, and SliTaZ Linux to be pretty snappy even on ancient machines with specs on that order of magnitude. AntiX works the best out of the box of those 3 IMO, but the other two are fine if all you want is light browsing, word processing, or servers.

There's also the Puppy Linux family and FatDog & friends which (by default) run from RAM but still provide persistence.

LXLE is another good distro for slightly better machines (ie >=1.5 ghz, >2gb RAM).
