I loved Illich when I was in high school. I read all of his books, dug up old audio recordings, and even built a website hosting all of the hard-to-find stuff he wrote.

Reflecting on his work now, I think Illich's anti-institutionism was extreme and his alternatives are genuinely not compelling.

Deschooling Society's critique is powerful, and Learning Webs is literally exactly how I learned how to program. But, it's an entirely unworkable alternative for like 60% of students. If we deschooled, we would absolutely end up with a double-digit percentage of the population either illiterate, innumerate, or both.

If you're honest with yourself, Medical Nemesis is has some great passages but in it is also the germs of the anti-vaccination and natural healing movements.

His critiques are powerful but the answer is not deinstitutionalism. The answer is taking his Tools for Conviviality to heart when engaging with/through institutions.

Without conviviality, Learning Webs will become a "Platform" with blood-sucking silicon valley middle men taking a 20% cut on all education spending and gig worker teachers languishing away in poverty. Of course, Illich would just say SV platform capitalism is also an institution^1.

With convivality, even the most institutional institutions can become places for human flourishing (Illich spent his life in the Catholic church, after all!)

So, I love Illich's critique. And Illich was a genius, in the sense that he proposed online education 30 years before the internet was invented.

But deschooling isn't the answer.

Conviviality is.

--

[^1]: which is one of the reasons that Foucault is worth reading of Illich resonates -- Illich always sort of grounded out in a no-true-scottsman when you point out his alternatives don't work. Foucault provides a more robust theory by explaining how power and institutions relate to one another.
So the answer is no, you will not pay.

Question was not rhetorical - it is realization of freedom 1. You answer implies there is a fork with GPU acceleration and no one cares (or does not answer my post). Ah, "criticism is not harmful":

As a guy, I find that most guys dismiss beauty as luck while chasing girls who have it.

They fail to realize that a sizable percentage of attractive girls don’t roll out of bed a 10. They watch what they eat, they run, work out, pay special attention to clothes, makeup, hair, etc. It adds up to a couple hours each day. In the age of instagram, the bar has only risen higher.

When I see beauty now I think of the effort it takes to stay that way and silently congratulate them.

Seems like that would require an understanding of language that far exceeds the current state of the art. And much of the time logic doesn't even apply because the text is incoherent.
There is a way for people who have imagination like you to get rich in the current world though - turn this into a Netflix movie or series :)
> The dangerous neighborhood example is such a classic that it's easy to find. Items 5 and 9 on this list:

I think you understand why citing a list tangentially related statements with entirely different intent and basically no other information will not change my mind. If you don't, please re-read my previous comments.

> No it won't.

I have given a statement, which in my understanding is consistent with the modern understanding of radicalisation, that argues that it does. I'm in no way an expert but I would appreciate a better response than "No".

> What you are advocating for is tone policing. You are claiming that reasonable outrage is going to radicalize people and therefor people should not express anger when they have every right to be angry. "If she had calmed down, I wouldn't have hit her". Classic abuser and oppressor excuse.

This argument relies on the premise that I am a bad-faith actor. I am not. The abuser would have hit her regardless, I am actually interested in having a discussion. Also, you yourself state how hard it is to pinpoint appropriate outrage.

> People should listen to outrage and fix things before it's too late. That onus is on the oppressor. Exactly what I've said all along.

You fail to argue that this means that outrage is necessary in all forms of discussion and that an outrage-free environment is inherently oppressive. I'm not saying it's the end-all solution, but certainly seems like a better idea than an environment where any group or group of groups is the arbiter of appropriate outrage.
I'm still waiting for languages to support 2,3, and 4D vectors as first class data types. These are so common it's silly to have people define them. We end up with different implementations sometimes too.

>Or another example would be Fusion - sure the idea of having coherent memory and triggering the GPU "like an AVX unit" sounds great

As we see though, if you need to "trigger" the unit you may have problems. In this case AVX triggers a cooldown. Running the AVX instructions right now is just as if you triggered an alternate mode.

The examples you give citing NVIDIA seem to be more inline with what I'm suggesting. The shared memory fabric allows fast offload the the extremely specialized processing units.

The issue is these terms are fluid. It used to be that PCIe was the fabric, but now that's too slow, so what is on the die is the fabric, etc.

Very good insight. I agree 100%. My hypothesis is that the massive injection of new cash into the stock market during the pandemic response is a foundational play for the end of the US dollar. I'm not sure of the steps between the cash injection and the adoption of cryptocurrency/ies as the de facto currency/ies but I am certain that this is a calculated attempt to debase the US dollar in order to disarm the unprepared and grab power through the creation a right-libertarian techno dystopia. This is exactly the type of play Steve Bannon would make.

FWIW I hold no crypto so I'm not coming at this from the crypto-bro skin in the game angle.

I have been feeling burned out for last 5 years or so. I keep working because I have responsibilities, wife, parents, kids, mortgage etc.

If I didn't had responsibilities, I would have quit my job, spend a few months relaxing/traveling/reading, and find something more meaningful. I fantasize about this a lot.

Unfortunately, I have to keep working. A few things that help me are:

1. I started to side-hustle as Realtor. This helps by making me feel like that I can quit software dev whenever I want to. The feeling of having choice helps make shitty situation less bad. Also since it is so different from programming, that I feel refreshed doing real estate stuff on weekends.

2. I spend a lot of time to figure out my passion/purpose. Your passion may not earn you a living but once you know your passion, you may enjoy your work because it lets you pursue your passion/purpose. Someone will say that my kids should be my purpose. I spend a lot of time with them and enjoy it but it still doesn't feel fulfilled. You should set an example for your kids that it is okay to pursue your happiness as long as you are meeting your responsibilities.

3. Reading too many books on this topic. They have helped me feel calm and I feel whatever happens, I will figure out my passion/purpose and get/make a job that makes me feel happy.

> This is often not useful

How is it "not useful"? It's generally quite easy to resolve the ensuing lifetime problems: either use .clone() to copy the underlying values, or use Rc<>/Arc<> to provide shared control of the lifetimes involved. And it's far from a "boring problem"; quite often, being aware of how and why lifetime and mutability interact at a "low" level can inform higher-level design as well.

I lived in Japan for about 10 years, and have subsequently made a lot of Chinese, HK, TW and SG friends (partly because of the businesses I have been in), and except for the TW and SG folks whose opinions seemed to be mixed by generation, there is a lot of focus in modern history education on how badly the Japanese behaved leading up to WWII and in WWII.

And, fair enough!

But there doesn't to be much education on any side of the aisle about the 1000-or-so years leading up to their mutual antagonism.

I don't think that anyone is served by having sections of their history books snipped out - and the Japanese are no saints in this regard either. (Of course, I say this in the US, now, when some people are trying to have literature and history books snipped out)
today i learned that (for some people) 'impostor syndrome` is a heuristic for cognitive dissonance.
Just as a warning to people that might want to try this, a lot of work has gone into monitoring the addresses tied to private keys created from potential words.

For example, if you use a word in the (infamous) rockyou wordlist as your private key & send money to the corresponding public key, it will not be your money for long.

If it were me, I think I'd be sneaking out an SD card in a condom in my prison wallet.
Weird to see wxPython on the list..
While I love Linus and I think he's excellent at what he does, he's utterly missing the fact that things like AVX-512 sell chips, and that's what Intel's in the business of doing. And best practice in how one writes software will increasingly look like "write it so it executes well in a massively-parallel context" if the driver for chip sales is massively-parallel problems.

We've smacked pretty hard into the wall of how fast we can make CPUs by miniaturizing components, and the low-hanging fruit now is parallelization, predictive execution, and the whole host of ways to do more per clock cycle, not speed up clock cycles. But that flies in the face of the traditional embarassingly-serial pattern of the x86 instruction set and computing environment. Much of what Intel's doing these days is trying to open up opportunities for people to change tools to speed up code without having to boil the ocean by throwing the whole serial-instruction model completely out the window (even though, increasingly, code written to that instruction set is really operating like a language that is emulated by the underlying parallel-and-predictive CPU hardware).

I think what Linus calls "regular code" isn't going to move chips and we've wrung all the cheap optimizations out of that critical path (and, depending on the details of what is meant by "regular," such code is increasingly going to ram up against an efficiency ceiling unless it can be moved to a model of "Prepare work to do in parallel, execute in parallel, merge results and present to UI").
> A “Covid party” is a gathering held by somebody diagnosed with coronavirus to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected, she explained.

What the hell? I knew "Covid party" was a term, but I figured it referred to general parties, not some strange attempt to purposely get inflected, maybe.

I think you may be overreacting to the current state of affairs. We have a right-wing Senate, a left-wing House, a rather balanced (slightly right) Supreme Court, and a right-wing Executive. 5 years ago we had a left-wing Senate, right-wing House, balanced (I think slightly left) Supreme Court, and left-wing Executive.

Obviously vote, but I think it's a pretty sure win for the left in the Executive here in a few months. Outlook is pretty good for the left in congress. I find it hard to foresee right-wing fascism taking control and illegalizing the left in the near future.

Of course we should always be concerned about fascism because it has devastating and existential consequences. But I don't see cause for alarmism now, and every false alarm weakens the call to action when it is needed. For now it seems like voting works.
Intel (the chipmaker) uses the linux kernel to fix flaws found in the hardware. see if you can identify who would want the ownership around that.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/x86/microcode.html

Look at the specification. If something does not behave as expected, that entity is the owner. In case of Intel processor vulnerabilities and other ones, the hardware is the fault as per my understanding.

Since you are asking about software vulnerabilities and since a vulnerability is supposed to be fixed, the onus is on the provider to fix it, but the IP could be owned by the hacker. Its a vulnerability if its known the company. If not, its an exploit the hacker can use.

This has been posted twice earlier (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23816867 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23789016), but didn't attract any comments on hn so far...
Except that ham radio has been around for much longer(1909!) and hasn't exploded like the internet.

Honestly that's the one thing that I like about it, it hasn't been heavily monetized in a way that's brought in large actors. I don't know if you can say the same of bitcoin.
I agree on the fallacy, but arguably that also aligns with some of the HAM radio community?

Maybe this stereotype isn't true, but I thought at least a part of the HAM radio community was preparing for the collapse of civilization/communication networks.
Correct. I am referring to everything except desktop computing. I can see how this would be confusing as I was just referencing desktop prossesor market patterns of the 90s/00s.

But I do think Windows's position in the desktop space is somewhat unsustainable at this point. I personally prefer Windows but I just don't see how a heterogenous user interface experience (with users on iOS and Android for mobile and Windows for desktop) will abide for long.

I think it's only a matter of time before mobile OSes make some serious inroads to desktop. Though I suppose Google has been salivating at that thought for neaely a decade.
I would like to see a video-faces-only social network.

Setting aside the topic of lookism and other bias issues,

I assert that the apparently intrinsic and inevitable degradation of low-bandwidth communication into tribalism and discord,

would be greatly retarded by a universal requirement for real-time high-bandwidth messaging.

Yes, this would break a lot of other qualities/features; but I'd be willing to give it a try.

(Stretch goal, looking-the-camera/image-in-the-eye as an additional requirement...)

I know this is counter to the frictionless, skim and summarize and react many-parallel-sources sipping-from-the-stream relationship we have evolved with out various extent social media platforms....

...but it's about time we tried something really different, in pursuit of finding a better balance between our technologies and our humanity, to put it grandly.
At least we can dispense with the idea that the stock market is driven by short-term thinking.

Prices are high because investors expect things to be better in the future, even though things are bad right now. Maybe the investors are wrong, but at least they are thinking about the long term, or at least the intermediate term.
The difference between Bitcoin and ham radio is money. Money is an extremely powerful technology that has changed the world, but one of the most profound ways it’s done so is to distort the minds of those trying to harness it.

When your intellect is a servant of your lust for shiny digital metal, something has gone badly wrong.

I'm not convinced one way or the other on the price, but I think it's more a matter that the narrative is that Bitcoin will eliminate banks and fiat
Why is the annoyance more important than being inclusive? If we want others to feel welcome in our community, we may need to do some accommodation. There is a huge value in attracting more people and making a language change is a very minor annoyance compared to the benefit those fellow users and developers will bring.
Well, if you really need it there are much more incentives to learn it. I wouldn't really be good at explaining it since I don't have much motivation to even learn it myself, because I don't need it.

I don't think the tendency to make mistakes related on the technical skill level, but to a lot of other factors. For example, those who will forget the passphrases are not those for whom it is important, but more for those for who BTC is more like fun side-bet. They have bought some, forgotten about it, and when they’ll actually see the rising price and try to cash out, they have forgot some password or how did they set up the wallet.

That number is wrong. It's greater than 13%. He installed another javascript tracker. So, he didn't catch any of the users that block javascript.

Didn't read his whole lengthy post, but not sure why he just didn't use a standard 20-year old log analyzer (like AWStats or similar) to just compare _any_ visit by a single IP address over a set 24-hour period.

Forget about page views, A/B tests, metrics, customer journeys, etc... that's what G.A. is designed to be used for (along with its competitors like P.A.).

The question is very, very simple - especially for standard websites. How many different IPs requested what volume (in bytes) of resources from your server?

We've been measuring that number on the web for nearly 30 years and it requires ZERO installs, scripts, 3rd-party services, etc.

None of this would be so bad except that all the alarmists decrying abuse or overuse of G.A. and looking at alternatives are (generally speaking) not anyone that Google cares about. Google's attitude "Uh, go ahead and use a different spyware/tracker/script tool. We don't care about your crummy blog. We are still installed on 499 of the Fortune 500 websites. That's what we care about."
The thing that I don't understand is this. If Russia really decides to crack down, can't they just block all bitcoin traffic at the ISP level? Then how do you get BTC for your wealth? If you can't push your decentralized transaction, what do you actually have?

Unfortunately, they do not go into the downside of this strategy. There will be more false negatives.
