Counterpoint: All these brain structures that make us crave power and influence evolved in a time in which humans exclusively dealt with small communities (going by your "100 people max" criterion).
There are reasons that places like American Samoa and Puerto Rico would not want to become full states- losing a certain degree of autonomy among them (of course, not all who live there feel this way).

Automatic full citizenship might be seen as a stepping stone down a slippery slope towards statehood, at least by those who prefer their current status.
This is an oft-repeated & poorly sourced claim. My view of the landscape is that the fundamental shift that has happened in VR with ATW hasn't been fully appreciated by those working outside of VR.

ATW means that your head rotational latency is fixed at your display rate. Now the content still has a higher motion to photon delay. The user's perception of motion sickness though is not about that though. It appears to be primarily incongruity between where your eyes are focusing & the signal from your inner ear. ATW is relatively cheap & well understood so high refresh rates with a deep pipeline aren't totally unreasonable.

Once you have that, the total end-to-end latency matters in a different way. Now you're focused on the content not feeling laggy. That's where prediction comes in. 100ms of end-to-end latency is probably outside the realm of what is doable today. With algorithmic improvements, increases in computational power, improvements in body modelling & neural networks, it's not unreasonable to start thinking about 100ms.

Anyway, the mental picture I meant to paint you was what if you thought about all the content in terms of how mobile GPUs (& desktop GPUs under the hood) think about it, in terms of tiles. What if your physics simulation only bothered to simulate the current tile's worth of content before handing off to the rendering stage. What if rendering focused on that tile before moving onto the next? Then you submit a tile's worth of content to the display. Then your display isn't refreshing the entire panel uniformly but instead refreshing each tile offset from the other. On top of that you bake time warp directly into the display driver.

This is a monumental undertaking. The reason we haven't historically done that as an industry is because HW speeds with the existing architecture have increased far faster than the SW architecture could mature to take advantage, so from a cost perspective both the HW & SW vendors would be idiots to try to do this. However, HW speeds are petering out & even purpose-built accelerators can only do so much. At some point the architectural shift will happen.
On the agent thing: I don't know about the OpenSSH agent, but I have KeeAgent set up and it works without a hitch in MSYS (and thus Git Bash) as well as with the SSH port of Microsoft.

Constructing Probability Distributions Having a Unit Index of Dispersion
I think you are generally correct but need a lot more nuance in your examples.

Purdue is an R1 school with around 50k students in a metro area of over 150k non-students. It is the largest employer in the metro, but the large factories in the area employee far more in total. It's probably a lot more like Boulder than you think. Boulder is an hour from Denver, but Lafayette is an hour from Indianapolis (a larger city than Denver) and an hour and a half from Chicago.

Ohio U is an R2 school with around 30k students in a metro area of around 30k non-students. It's nowhere near any large city and doesn't have more than a small handful of other medium-sized employers.

The economic effect of no students on campus for a year would look vastly different between these two cities.
Coronavirus: Why Singapore turned to wearable contact-tracing tech
they are most likely purposely being left off the map since theyd probably show up red in some areas just like ukraine and belarus which would imply the west has these 'slum issues' wich would be kind off ridiculous. this would not support their case.

> While you could use the cloud VM console for emergency access in these cases, having a hardware key provides even more security and would let you turn off cloud VM access.

I'm not sure it's more secure, but I suppose it depends on the provider. Your control of your account's admin key (or password) is the last bastion of security for most providers.

> Of course if you broke your SSHD config, or have a network issue that prevents you from reaching the host, this won't magically fix any of that. IPMI is good for that though.

This is why I just use the providers' emergency management (or IPMI). Easier to have one method of emergency access that always works regardless of the guest. The guest's root (or emergency) account can still have a pretty darned complex password.

> I don't think twitter is not allowing de-escalation as much as they haven't figured out how to do it.

I think what they are doing is perfectly in line with their mission statement.

"Give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers" lacks functional constraints such as "let the better ideas propagate more", "put some barriers around good judgement, rationality, relevance, factuality" etc. If a human mind operated through twitter algorithms, it would be equivalent to some sort of psychosis, every voice in one's head valued equally without due discrimination on reality checks, uncontrollable, irrational, amplifying irrelevant viewpoints, unable to conform to reality. Unsurprisingly at times our collective behavior fueled by twitter (and any other social media that operate through such filtering/amplification functions) resembles mass psychosis.
Real or not, perceived persecution gives one hell of a dopamine rush.
The Piaget stages and psychoanalysis are a couple of examples that come to mind. Both were topics of the psychology textbooks belonging to my roommates.

I have asked experts in a variety of fields about how they cope with the replication crisis, and the typical response is: "Yes there is a lot of bunk being published, but we know good research from bad."

This has included people with advanced degrees in psychology, business administration, and medicine.
I don't mean to say that a single frame can take 100ms to render & that you can somehow add more pipeline stages. That's silly because the slowest single stage of your pipeline is the bottleneck.

I was instead saying that if you could re-architecture the entire system end-to-end so that you could generate 1/10th of the frame in 1/10th the time, & there wasn't a resource contention between frame (i.e. you would start processing the next frame as soon as you're finished with the current one), then even though it took 100ms for the entire frame to scan out, each individual section is still updating at 100 fps. Similarly, if you could get update the display in pieces rather than the one-shot serial operation as it is now, then you'd see some serious changes to our understanding of latency & pipelining.

This is all easier said than done & was a total strawman taken to an absolute extreme. However, if the SW could get that pipelined, HW vendors would have a much easier time making their end of it more efficient.
Stack Overflow’s survey is a self selected sample. If you are working in a large company doing enterprisey things in something like C# or Java and you are a “dark matter developer”, you probably aren’t hanging out on StackOverflow.

Also how many small companies are “lifestyle companies” and not small companies trying to grow fast and get acquired?
Agree that partisan does not correlate to honesty.

I think the claim, and I agree with it, is that partisanship will affect where you look, how you look, and what you do with contradictory information.

Are you suggesting disagreement with 'the biblical narrative' indicates partisanship, or the lack of? (Or, rather, referring back to original wording - an indication of shoring up a worldview?)
Following because I actually started browsing APM software this week. I haven’t used it in 5 or more years... seems the same players, except with higher prices (notice how every price is now “contact me”)

Are there any reasonable APM software that can monitor a small k8s cluster for a few hundred a month? I built my own really simple “free” APM, but would rather buy something than sink 100 more hours into it. But I’m not spending $7,000 a month to monitor a handful of servers. Don’t need 6 billion graphs and monitors like data dog does
> What are the industry incentives for Tesla to do this, instead of utilities?

1. Most utilities operate power plants, they don't operate power storage facilities. From a capital efficiency standpoint, power plants want to be run all the time, so there's not much that they can do that's particularly fancy.

In contrast, Tesla both buys and sells electricity, so they have the opportunity to arbitrage across time. This is especially true in places where the cost of electricity dips below 0.

2. There are some utilities that have stored power (e.g. hydro dams). I suspect that they don't employ the engineering talent to pull off something like Autobidder.
What name are you concerned about? The file is called 'usa.css'. The file size is specifically listed right next to the download link. Not unusual. If the file size does change, it'll just be another number, yet the name of the file/project is still 'usa.css'.
It wasn't even a bribe, It was worse than that. It was literally, "You can only have one child unless you pay for each extra child you want." I mean, getting around the policy, was actually written into the policy. Which is kind of insane if the purpose was to control birth rates.

It was a huge mistake to allow people to live inside DC in the first place. The National Capital that is part of no state shouldn't have anyone actually be a resident.
Kevin Macleod has probably enshrined himself in auditory history just by making so much royalty free music that has taken over platforms that aggressive copyright systems police.

I swear I hear something of his multiple times a week in totally random places just because it has suffused so many segments of creative culture online.
I would interpret "longevity and health" not just to mean increased life expectancy but to also mean increased time until you are infirm. This expands the percentage of your life that you produce more than you consume (i.e. 20 to when you become infirm for the average person), and decreases the percentage of your productivity that goes towards raising children (since you have more overall productivity but roughly the same amount goes to raising kids).
So if you measured in succession fast enough, the particles would move continuously. So the probability density should be time-dependent.
The cash register was used as a way to prevent theft. It seems so obvious now because it's everywhere, but this was once high tech.

I think technology can definitely do the same. We've got Charity Navigator auditing charities to keep them on track, or at least helping people funnel their donations to the right charities. Something similar could work for politicians, it's just a matter of time and donations for someone (else) to do it.
You can't, to be charitable I would assume that they are doing their math in kids/(person years) instead of kids/person.
Thanks for the rundown. I’m already using wireguard so I’ll stick with that and hopefully figure out some of the kernel upgrade issues I’ve ran into.

Tailscale is an automatic no for me. I won’t use proprietary software for something as important as this. Even with tincs history I’d much rather go with opensource.
It seems to be in a lull, but the technology is still maturing. I suspect as the generation + storage costs continue to shift, it'll be adopted more eagerly. PVCs cost reduction has been a boon for that industry, but that tech, of course, ignores the storage problem.

Reading about some of the missteps of CSP, much like the above, they seem to be share similar traits of government mishandling, bureaucracy, dodgy dealings, etc.

EDIT: In any case, a naive interpretation of the Pakistan project cited -- if it truly is getting ~20% of anticipated power, cost per unit is 5x forecast, at which point a CSP would have been better value for money.
Lots of Lincoln statues have been defaced. Obviously not the Lincoln memorial, because federal police are protecting major monuments in DC.
I dont know man, at my east european subhuman (as some british see us gipsies) mansion, where i live without housemates, my gigabit ethernet works pretty much within params. I pay 15 euros for it because we are poor and you know have topup are pools. But these superior white brits had to form a mini army to get there gigabit so i guess they got that going which is fine. Good night, going in of my poor 12 rooms for a nap - my in house fibre had a long day.

Sorry, I haven't published it yet. It honestly took a long time to develop the schemas, but I might publish it the future. The issue right now is, I'm a single founder so I really have to be smart with my time and publishing things will just add to my work load.

My goal is to make the indexed data easily accessible, so that you can easily cross reference Git's history with whatever external systems you may have. What I've created is really a search and analytics engine for Git, which is designed for querying via SQL or through a REST interface.

On my simple dev machine which has 32gb of RAM, 1 TB of NVME storage, and a 2700x CPU, the search engine can easily index hundreds of million changes.

https://imgur.com/WoS4Nr6

The search engine can run on as little as 500MB of RAM though (with 2GB of swap space), but with this kind of hardware, you can only index small repositories.

Are these repos public and on GitHub? If so, I can include them in my indexing in the future.

I’ve thought about this quite a bit, really interesting what will happen to higher-ed.

I’m currently a graduate student at a public research uni, which I imagine are the type of uni’s that may struggle (cause it’s not like ivy tech or other elite schools, may struggle to tract people if they start competing online only).

Another interesting factor are the increasing amount of bootcamps like Lambda and others offering technical education for the low. I wonder if companies like those will try to expand to other less technical subjects.

Think future higher-ed will be up to the experience and faculty, also makes you kind of worry about these public research institutions if tuition starts drying up.
Serious question... How do we know when someone's past actions are no longer relevant? Obviously if someone wrote a bunch of racist crap yesterday, they shouldn't be given a pass because they didn't write any today.

I agree there needs to be a path forward for people to move beyond their mistakes, but it's not clear to me that time since last known offense is the only qualifier.

I had no idea -that's quite amazing in an advanced economy (as most are aware). I'm sure Singapore is jealous. They've been trying for ages to get their pop to grow internally but always fall short.
We know quite a bit about many cultures predating the printing press. Ancient Egypt, Sumeria, Greece, Rome, Persia, China, India. The Bible predates the printing press, so do Homer, Aristotle, Caesar, Buddha, the Vedas, and Confucius.

Arthurian England is not documented because it’s a made-up collection of legends. The Vikings left written Eddas, poems, and a body of Norse mythology, and we actually know quite a lot about Viking history.

> Some people don't like the conflict and confusion and disruption of a liberal democracy; they'd rather a consensus of "people like us". ... they punish the people who have "mindsets that are different from" their supporters.

I'm sorry but I need to whip out this quote from SSC once again:

"Here is a story I heard from a friend, which I will alter slightly to protect the innocent. A prestigious psychology professor signed an open letter in which psychologists condemned belief in innate sex differences. My friend knew that this professor believed such differences existed, and asked him why he signed the letter. He said that he expected everyone else in his department would sign it, so it would look really bad if he didn’t. My friend asked why he expected everyone else in his department to sign it, and he said “Probably for the same reason I did”.

From SSC, of course
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I was talking about Fossil, which uses SQLite under the hood, which would then maintain the index whenever data in it is modified.

> "on computers you preferentially use base-10, even though said computers are going to store the values as base-2?"

I don't understand this comment at all. Most people are not computer programmers and therefore have no insight into how computers represent numbers. They just populate text fields in Excel, or whatever, with numbers. It's easier to use decimal points to do that than fractions.

When I'm not using computers or calculators, I do prefer American-style fractions over decimal point representations. Fractions are a lot easier for me to manipulate in my head. If I'm out in my garage, upside down, underneath a car, and trying to decide which drill bit to use, I don't have convenient access to the calculator on my cell phone or a pencil and paper, and reliable mental math is important. The fractions are easier, so that's what I want.
People in every US territory are citizens except in American Samoa. They’re not states in the same way as DC isn’t a state, but the people are citizens and enjoy freedom of movement within the US.

Statehood is a complicated issue. For example in Puerto Rico, there have were several referendums and statehood has never carried a majority.

> On November 6, 2012, eligible voters in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico were presented with two questions:

> (1) whether they agreed to continue with Puerto Rico's territorial status and (2) to indicate the political status they preferred from three possibilities: statehood, independence, or a sovereign nation in free association with the United States.[29] A full 970,910 (54.0%) voted "No" on the first question, expressing themselves against maintaining the current political status, and 828,077 (46.0%) voted "Yes", to maintain the current political status. Of those who answered on the second question 834,191 (61.2%) chose statehood, 454,768 (33.3%) chose free association, and 74,895 (5.5%) chose independence.[2]

The plurality, 46%, wanted to maintain the status quo. Less than 35% wanted statehood. And 20% wanted to move in the opposite direction: free association or independence.

There was a 2017 referendum which resulted in overwhelming support for statehood only because it was boycotted by the status quo party.
It creates a committee which is extremely likely to pass policies which violate the Constitution. In fact, if there were really effective ways to reduce crime online which didn't violate it, they likely would have been passed twenty years ago without trying to piggyback on another bill.

I agree, the EFF should have elaborated more on concrete examples of how it violates the Constitution.

The potential space for bad policy is gargantuan and hard to explore without additional hints or context. Given that enumerated in rhetoric, tech company policy, recent events and the bill itself:

It may create potential for witch hunts. Think of some recent conspiracy theories here.

To censor speech which comes close to looking "suspicious" whomever is the one to define this. This is most likely the government.

It may push companies to use filters which over-censor speech and it may be impossible to get a remedy at the scale at which they operate.

Trolls could abuse mechanisms to silence opinions they disagree with. If a government decides to smear someone's reputation through a coordinated campaign, they could make the argument they are a danger to society and pressure platforms to silence them.
Now you're just changing the subject. We weren't talking about ending monarchical rule.

The policy wasn't as simple as the English name for it. It encompassed many other rules including the ages men and women could marry and the ages they could have kids.

For certain people (mostly ethnic minorities) there was a higher limit. In rural areas, the limit was usually more relaxed than urban areas.

Many women who got pregnant before they were allowed had to have abortions. Some women were forced to have IUDs, and some women were sterilized.

So, depending on who you were, where you were, and how old you were, the one child policy might have restricted you to one child, or it didn't.

One possible way, but the one best supported by evidence. The west coast of North America continues to yield evidence of human settlement and migration, sometimes just offshore. Genetics also supports the out of Siberia hypothesis.
That particular mistake is too late to rectify now, unless someone is proposing to relocate 700,000 people. Hell, even just letting them vote as unofficial residents of the nearest state would solve the problem; Maryland can have those votes for federal office without having D.C. yield any of its own authority to enforce its borders.
