If I'm not wrong, I'm pretty sure they have to import anthracite from Aus, because the coal they have domestically is lignite and bituminous.

On another note, China has slowed down coal production not because of carbon dioxide output, but because of all the acute toxins/pollutants emitted by coal plants. Carbon dioxide is a compound that only developed countries care about, because it has few short term consequences and whose effects aren't observed by your avg. person. Your avg. person, however, does feel the effects of nasty air and acid rain, caused by nitrates/sulfates released by coal plants. This is the chief reason China will publicize moving away from coal. Because of air pollution and acid rain, not because of climate change.

I should state from the beginning that I detest the tech monopolies engaging in censorship, and I question whether they even have a right to do so (they seem like common carriers to me).

One of the interesting aspects of this censorship is that is taking places in the US is that it probably is taking down mostly misleading information. The main issue with it is that no one actually knows that much, and so whichever faction of experts is most influential or savvy or popular gets to dictate the so-called consensus. That being said, while I still vehemently disagree with censorship, I don't think there is immense harm in taking down a video that advocates, say, psychic consultation to prevent COVID.

Once a culture becomes a censorship culture, the calculus changes. While right now in America, the effort appears to mostly be an attempt to weed out information that these experts believe is untrue, we have seen that in China, the censorship explicitly weeds out information that is true. The so-called conspiracy theory about the virus leaking from either the Wuhan CDC or the Wuhan Institute of Virology in November that has since been corroborated in multiple Western mainstream publications was discovered mostly due to Chinese officials engaging in fairly heavy-handed censorship. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was scrubbed of information about one particular young woman who was working as an intern there, and has been named as a possible "patient zero." A paper released by researchers at the South China University of Technology also suggested the Wuhan CDC as a probable point of origin, and this was also scrubbed by Chinese Communist Party censors. Every instance of this is like a canary for lies being propagated by the CCP. And they have helped astute Western observers of China find the trail of the truth just by looking at differences in what has been censored without a trace.

This is why I am so opposed to censorship (and torture and deplatforming and partisan violence and the list goes on): every time it becomes a regular tool, it becomes twisted only in a way to serve those in power and punish their enemies, often when the authorities are spreading lies and their enemies are daring to tell the truth.
Adam, RMSProp, etc are just flavors of gradient descent so they’re useful on anything from ResNet to logistic regression. There are more flavors like natural gradient that are more useful for smaller problems since they require a Hessian matrix, but gradient descent is gradient descent. We use Adam in production for logistic regression, not for any particular reason really, just happens to work.

Education allows one to lead a richer life regardless of ones circumstance. Consider the janitor who took 8 years to get a bachelors degree in classics (after learning English). He admits that now with a degree he’ll probably try to become a janitorial supervisor.

But two things stand out, first there is no shame in a job as a janitor, and second to him the education was an end in itself, not a means to an end.

I think you can see that I didn't ignore this fact in my post.

I made a definition (as requested) to clarify my position and based on my interpretation of the original post in this thread. Based on this interpretation, it seemed like that poster was referring broadly to PCs. The definition was for the purposes of a prediction.

In defense of my interpretation, I would consider it unreasonable to assume that the OP meant to include smart phones in their consideration of "primary consumer CPU", due precisely to the fact that you and I have both mentioned, that many individuals use a smart phone for the bulk or even all of their computing.

> Will you break under pressure?

Break? Break what? This makes no sense. It’s not like they have verifiable information to see if you break too easily.

You’re making it sound like they were hiring a spy. Polygraph test are common in the public sector.

They simply do this for bureaucracy reasons. Government agencies need to comply with a bunch of old standards so they can demonstrate they performed all possible verifications in case they go under investigation.

Agencies don’t want to be in the position where a security clearance they granted is scrutinized only to find that they didn’t do a polygraph test while all the other agencies still perform polygraph tests.

Everyone knows polygraph tests are bullshit. They do them because they have too, not because they find them useful.

Okay, I'll try to be charitable with you here and assume you've just missed this.

The problem with claims like:

> Nock is not practical. He is certainly not maximizing practicality by making a combinatory logic that can only increment integers and then recognizing and "accelerating" a particular implementation of decrement!

Is that you are evaluating a component of a larger system in isolation. The form of your argument is that this component, which is a language, has obvious deficiencies/impracticalities that can be established in terms of the language itself and how it relates to other languages.

But this doesn't take into account how the language (which is the component I spoke of) relates to the system in which it's embedded.

The appearance of impracticality is often present in foundational systems. How easy would it be do use your same form of argument and deride the Peano axioms as obviously impractical because: look how much work it is to do arithmetic with a 'successor function'—ridiculous! (i.e. the 'impracticality' depends completely on what you're trying to do with it)

This was what I was trying to investigate from the beginning: how have you verified that Nock's peculiarities don't have legitimate reasons in the context of the system of which it is a component?

If you review our conversation, you'll see that's what I was trying to figure out since my very first statement—and to this point, you have still not addressed it.
Bitcoin's BIP32 (Hierarchical deterministic wallets) could be part of a solution. Currently they're used for bitcoin wallets, but they are more generally applicable for creating hierarchies of private/public key pairs, not necessarily attached to bitcoin addresses. A single private key and chaining key is all that is necessary to rematerialize all of the other keys in the hierarchy - a "master password".

A public key is superior to a password. It has more entropy to begin with, more than enough to resist brute force attempts, and it is sufficient, by itself, to establish an encrypted and authenticated communication with the holder of the corresponding private key. The key holder can sign messages asserting their ownership of the private key without revealing it, or can prove, if somebody already knows they are the owner of a public key, that they've signed a document that nobody else could have generated such signature for without possession of the private key.

For 2FA protocols and such, it may be possible to use threshold signatures to have messages signed by multiple parties which a verifier can verify at least M of N parties contributed to the signature without revealing necessarily who each the M parties are. There's much greater flexibility that can be gained here than simply having 2FA, which is often really just 1FA because it is done by SMS or some other weak form of authentication which can be vulnerable.

In addition, BIP39 (Mnemonic seed phrases) provide a more intuitive way of representing the initial data used to create the master private key. A RNG generates 256 bits of entropy, adds a checksum of 8 bits, and segments it into 24 chunks of 11 bits. The chunks each represent a word in a 2048 word dictionary, and the word phrase is recorded for future. The word phrase, when hashed, generates the master private key and chaining key for use with BIP32. Optional passwords can be used in conjunction with the word phrase to establish multiple disjoint key hierarchies from the same set of words.

This combination is now used in most bitcoin software and is fairly well understood by most bitcoin users. It's supported by several hardware wallets/HSMs, and likely many more will be coming. The burden is on the user to write down and safely store a 24 word phrase, plus optional passwords. There are some products on the market which can preserve this information in the event of natural disasters.

A missing part of the puzzle is to establish the relationship between identities the user cares about and the key paths in the hierarchy. Current conventions use path's such as `m/0'/1'/1` to mean the second child of the second child of the first account in the hierarchy. This doesn't carry around any information about what this specific key is used for - so there would need to be a separate tree stored somewhere (eg, user's device, backed up in cloud) which maps identities to paths. Access to this file would at most, reveal the identities the user has with different services, but would not reveal any private keys which could be used to access those services, as they're stored independently - preferably on a HSM which requires physical access.

The refs tab is not called branches because it is for references. We use git terminology deliberately, because it is a tool for git, and you should not be afraid of understanding your tools. On hg.sr.ht, for example, it's named differently, because Mercurial is designed differently and has different terminology.

SourceHut is not GitHub/GitLab/Gitea, and you would be ill-advised to treat it as such. I have no intention of building yet another GitHub clone. If you insist on everything having the same workflow, then what utility is there in different tools? Be prepared to challenge your preconceptions when learning how to use SourceHut. The documentation is thorough and has lots of tutorials to help you along the way:

https://man.sr.ht/

There are no pull requests or merge requests. We use email, which is how Git was designed to be used. This tutorial will get you started:

https://git-send-email.io

If you just want a GitHub clone, use a GitHub clone. Don't evaluate SourceHut by that critera.

I wouldn't bring it up if you want the job. Nowadays, many companies ( especially in silicon valley ) are hypersensitive to "activist" workers precisely because of people like you. Would you hire yourself if you were a FAANG? Take on the unnecessary liability? It makes no sense to volunteer information which can only harm your chances. So keep it to yourself and hope for the best.

Also, if you get the job, I wouldn't bring up your criminal record ever to co-workers, boss and especially HR. People like you are exactly the type that HR was created to remove.

Also, you can get FBI history check for a few bucks yourself ( via the fbi website ) or pay private companies to expedite the process. So you can check what your employers would see if that helps.
Uranium is not the only element/mineral of interest that is dissolved in seawater. Research has been done on this stuff before. I'm glad it's being done, but unfortunately this will remain unviable when compared to open-pit or underground mining (even accounting for the risk of depending on foreign suppliers + transportation costs of importing).

The biggest reserves are in Canada and Australia, not really countries we have to worry about cutting off supply anytime soon. We have bigger strategic mineral concerns (REMs and China)

Cool tech, won't leave the lab. Just like the billion "metal-ion/air/water" batteries that get shilled non-stop.

Yes, earning trust is the most important piece. However, organizations are excited to participate once you show that you are the right security & privacy practices in place. We've had a lot of great momentum there.

For regulatory frameworks, it depends on the circumstances and the type of data that you are dealing with. For most of our use cases, it's:

* FCRA, aka Fair Credit Reporting Act that all Credit Reporting Agencies must follow.

* HIPAA, for health data

Of course, you have more generic frameworks such as CCPA, GDPR but that's true for all companies.
This is all very true, but it is hard to keep a roof over one's head and food on one's plate without either placating a corporation or being born to a rich family, and most of us don't have option two.

(Also, keep in mind the option that OP might be looking for a FAANG job specifically because it pays well, allowing them to earn enough money to never care about placating corporations again in their life. That seems like a more effective strategy for certain forms of activism than finding a poorly-paying job working for a small business or even yourself, and then having to keep working at it until old age.)

Last I checked "poised to achieve this" implies the future. Moreover I have specific reasons to say that, namely that zig now ships with C compilation with transparent cross-compilation support so you can use it as a direct replacement for C and (I believe make), so the statement is based on current zig features whose importance I alluded to in the comment.

Fwiw this is also a real problem as I am often hearing complaints about windows ABI support in elixir, anyways. Moreover, having written nifs, I have to say the c header for nifs is basically unintelligible without manually parsing the DEFINES because of windows cross-support needs.

Please let me know if I'm using "poised" incorrectly.

Fighter jets are almost a cost-is-no-object project, so to me at least, it isn't a good proxy for a country's manufacturing prowess.

Your ability to build something is measured by how cheaply you can build that thing. This means that if I can make something more cheaply than you can, I'm actually better at making it than you are, assuming the end product is the same. (You can also cheapen something by cutting corners on the design or materials, but then you're making a different thing).
It's an intentional feature of the product, though? It sounds like they're specifically designed not to obstruct exhalation. Why would you be skeptical of that?

I strongly disagree. System76 has, to my eyes, the perfect design aesthetic. They make reasonable and practical trades on build quality vs. price, and have a strict form-follows-function ethos with Pop!_OS that I just adore.

It would be a tragedy for me if System76 were to follow that path.
