I was in my early twenties before I stopped believing in things that, in hindsight, seem utterly unbelievable to me.

What I've struggled with for a long time is the realization that the person I was, believing all of that, wasn't some brainwashed religious nutjob. I was just as 'rational' then as I am now.

Even worse, if I'm fully honest with myself the paradigm shift wasn't primarily a result of my own rational thinking, but significantly affected by social issues that made it hard for me to keep sweeping various realizations under the rug. If not for the non-rational issues, I might've still been convinced born-again evangelical christian.

I don't think that, day to day, an atheist is a better leader than, say, a born-again evangelical christian. In my experience the quality of a leader is largely unrelated to the 'paradigm' they buy into. There are so many aspects to being a 'good' leader that are entirely unrelated to the version of reality one ascribes to.

Where I /do/ think there's a really issue, is that by and large born-again evangelical christians are less 'anarchic' than atheists in their approach to leadership, and that they tend to operate in environments that are more homogenous. So it's possible that a terrible evangelical leader gets away with it because they keep moving within a very homogenous environment.

but I'd argue that this problem is possibly just as much the case with particular SV-style leaders. Or C-level people in a broader sense. I more than once felt that the processes that led to certain people occupying high-level positions in the companies I worked it were not that different from what I experienced back when I was 'in the fold'.

Perhaps it's not the same, but I'd definitely argue that it's a blind spot for 'atheists'. The idea that somehow they are not as susceptible to the dynamics of, among others, the Evanglicals.
Those are just (pure) function types.

Even so, a feature phone is good enough for light gaming and making calls.
It sounds like you are referring to "claim one", not "claim two". I noted in the article that Werner is (only) technically correct on claim 1, essentially due to the reasons you described. Claim two is about presenting empirical evidence for claim one. You might think that empirical evidence is not needed. That's fine. It still was not presented, so claiming to have presented it was a false statement.

I can't quite figure out why you think it is interesting, so I'll post a reply to my top 2 guesses at what you mean:

1) If you think that the disaster should be considered, I don't see why you think my view is interesting. I'm arguing we should just chalk it up to bad safety practices, which does happen from time to time. If we assume one Fukushima every 20-25 years (which seems absurdly pessimistic given that all the new designs are much safer than Fukushima from the get go and it took somethign close to a 1:500 year disaster to breach Fukushima's design) then the cost-benifits are still in nuclear's favour. A nuclear catastrophe is less damaging than business-as-usual for coal. Living next to a coal plant will have detectable negative health impacts in the community due directly to the coal plant. Living next to Fukushima - even up to the meltdown - won't. The economic consequences of owning property in the exclusion zone probably even that up, but I would still want to see the stats before accepting Fukushima is worse. Coal dust is nasty stuff.

2) If you think that the disaster was nearly prevented and should be discounted on that basis; that is a bad argument and you should abandon it. The disaster did happen and that needs to be dealt with.

Well these are all European products, so yes if you are in the US it's probably cheaper to buy them from IKEA. In Europe you can get the non-IKEA branded version (their appliances are made by Electrolux AB, which has many brands such as AEG, Zanussi, etc) for cheaper from any home appliances store.
Fedora is going to BTRFS. I guess that means it is being at least considered for RHEL 9 or 10. I can't see RH choosing ZFS unless the license is sorted out.

Which is not entirely fair, speaking as an ex-evangelical. Plenty of fully dedicated evangelicals disapprove of Trump. And while a disappointing number of them do approve, it's by no means a unified base.
I mean more the perspective that we don't really have time to focus on other things in life when doing 8 hours of work a day. To me it seems like we don't have enough push-back against the status quo here - which is that 8 hours is incredibly wasteful in a lot of industries and jobs, and it's ruining our ability to think and focus throughout the week.

You give each one 33 1/3 acres. Just it's easy to make 1/3 mile by breaking it down to 1760 feet, it's easy to make 1/3 acre by breaking 660ft x 66ft down to 220ft x 66ft ([EDIT] or 660ft x 22ft, if you want to keep it 1 furrow long for easier plowing). And if you needed to, you could break one of the feet down into 1/3 foot (4 inches). That's a key factor in all these "archaic" measurement systems.
I think along those lines, reading and writing fine granular data, especially when storing the full history of the data is the way to go (in addition to path copying and a log-structured storage). Furthermore pointer swizzling might be needed to get almost in-memory database performance.

I'm trying to address this with my versioned Open Source DBMS project, where only page-fragments are stored and bunch of them is read in-parallel to reconstruct a full page in-memory. Adding mini-page ps plus a simple cache at some point with hot data from several page fragments at least is orthogonal:

the best way i found so far is to install ancient version of win10, prior to creator's update, block it in group policy, and set up a registry key that your lan connection is metered.

Downside: you have to update manually.

How so? The surgical nature of the attack _combined with the most probable motives having a political tilt_ is what makes people call it a terrorist attack.

A sophisticated robbery of millions of dollars from a casino has a pretty clear motive that doesn't have to be political. That's not to say it couldn't be, but initial reports wouldn't call it terrorism since personal financial gain is a pretty good motive

A well known definition of reality is "what doesn't go away when you stop believing in it".

If you stop believing in QM, everything happens just as before and if all knowledge was lost, the theory could be recreated.

But if you stop believing in the Copenhagen interpretation, and start believing in many-worlds, or you say "the hand of God directs things", nothing changes. If all knowledge of those ideas vanished, nothing would ensure it was recreated.
On the flip side, if you're jumping between companies regularly to stay fresh on tech, you might not actually be progressing in the way you think you are. A decade later you might still be a $latest_technology developer with 2-3 years of marketable experience.

Oh thank god there's a way to disable autosnapshot! It's been filling my drive with useless snapshots ever since I installed Ubuntu with zfs support, drowning out my real snapshots. Who needs a snapshot after calling "apt install htop" anyway? The ZFS snapshot and grub update processes increase the install time 3-fold, and run the risk of seriously hooping the system if the power goes out unexpectedly.

Has anyone had any real problems with apt install or apt remove busting their systems? Seems more like a solution in search of a problem.

> In any case, you aren't going to give them 1 km x 333.33 m unless the law of your state really stangely provides a maximum precision of 10 cm.

Nit: That's 1cm precision, which I chose because that's about where it should be clear to everyone that it really doesn't matter. A slightly unreasonable person might be miffed about 1m; a very unreasonable person might be miffed about 10cm; but if you're miffed about your older brother getting 1cm more than you, I think you're going into mental illness territory.
ZFS support on macOS has been barely beta-quality for at least five years. I wish it were actually cross-platform, but it really only works well on Linux and FreeBSD.

I'm pessimistic but the only way that can end the world is if we really want to. It would be very similar to a nuclear war. At some point you have caused so much damage there is no point in further fighting. The only reason why the world would end at that point is that the remaining people want it to end at all costs.
I wonder this about a lot of "tier 1" software, whenever I get easy to access critical business logic breaking bugs in Amazon, eBay, etc...

I just find it utterly unacceptable. I'd drag my developers over hot coal if they somehow released what I see from these trillion dollars companies.

I wasn't able to "add to cart" with my Amazon app for instance and things like YouTube and Instagram constantly crash when I'm adding new content. And many banking apps totally freak out when I use a password manager. This is pretty core operation. It's really amazing.

I really don't know how the valley operates sometime.

I'd imagine they supposedly have entire departments and dozens of people who are supposed to make sure this stuff works.

Sometimes I find it so unbelievable that I try multiple devices to take the possibility that it's just me out and it's invariably reproducible on all.

Maybe nobody at the company uses Android or maybe nobody uses their own product? (Maybe people who work at, say, Facebook don't actually like using it...thats understandable, but also unacceptable)

I really don't know how it happens. Maybe their tests are 100% automated and no human checks it? I don't know.

> The rules of QM either apply to everything or nothing. The laws of the universe do not begin or end at the edge of the laboratory bench top. Similarly, there are no special rules that apply to just the human brain.

Well, for now we don't really know how the rules of QM apply to macroscopic objects. The exact physical interpretation of wave-function collapse (if any) is still a matter of speculation, with all options still being on the table - maybe there is no collapse (e.g. many worlds theory), maybe there exists a collapse when interacting with large enough systems (measurement - the Copenhagen interpretation), maybe collapse is a physical process that happens at precise scales (Roger Penrose seems to believe something like this), maybe the wave function is a physical wave (pilot wave theory) and there is no collapse in another way.

IMPERIAL system was introduced by an expansionist colonial empire and was based on ROMAN mile (the state that was built on slavery and conquest).

I don't think you should choose your units basing on ethics, but even if you do it's not a great choice :)

BTW Napoleon is to this day a hero in some countries (for example in Poland). We even have him in our national anthem :) He temporarily recreated Polish state and freed us from another military dictatorship (Tzar Russia).

I find it funny how he's viewed in English-speaking countries as "almost the Hitler" while Catherine the Great for example is perfectly fine. It's the exact opposite in Poland :)

But yes, that's exactly how you would say it in German. There might be some part of the brain reserved to parse that sentence as "I'm (one) (four and 80)" but this doesn't feel weird or confusing at all.

It might be just me getting old but I don't understand the current consumers who don't really demand anything for their money. Is nothing important to you? Do you just buy what they tell you to in marketing and PR?

They just value different things to you. It doesn't mean they are a gullible idiot. I don't understand why that is so difficult for people to recognise.
I'm also thinking what happens after you built the new thing. Ok, now we have this super advanced nuclear power plant it's super safe. So safe that it would be irresponsible to operate anything else. You know what happens? Old plants can still melt down. Fukushima was one of them and it was older than the Chernobyl plant. It is entirely possible that a new design won't increase safety because the unsafe models keep running.
In large organizations like this you tend to do what advances your own career, not what's useful. Mainly because it's not going to affect Google's bottom line in the short term.

Fixed-length sequences, but they would be constructed from a type and a non-negative integer, not from two types.

The sum of a type with m possible values and a type with n possible values has (m+n) possible values, the product of a type with m possible values and a type with n possible values has (m×n) possible values, a sequence of n items of a type with m possible values has m^n possible values.

> the drone could position itself along the correct precomputed vector from far away, cut off electric, and glide the bomb to the target silently.

An octocopter/ordinary drone can't do this - their electric goes out and they fall from the sky.

For a glider you'd need an actual flyable airplane model (something like this: https://laughingsquid.com/a-15-foot-long-radio-controlled-ai...), and these are expensive as fuck - a single engine alone will run up well into four digit range, if not five digits (something like the JetCat P1000). And at that point, you could also go ahead and buy an outright RPG, should be far cheaper to acquire depending where you are, or buy a couple junker cars, load them up with fertilizer bombs, and distribute them where one expects the target.
There are many cases as these. Facebook is another culprit here, pulling up info from various sources and presenting it as authoritative.

UMAP has largely replaced t-SNE in our toolkit as one of our top go-to viz pipelines. Unlike most examples out there, we post-process with k-nn to expose the graph of correlations over arbitrary data sets -- bank accounts fraud scores, cancer protein mutations, twitter bots, malware files, etc. -- and then investigate. Algorithms like UMAP figure out this connectivity anyways (see also: TDA), and useful for guiding subsequent explorations. If you're doing an interactive analysis, like looking at data in a Jupyter notebook, super powerful to expose that inferred connectivity and make it interactive (on-the-fly filtering, clustering, etc.) on it.

Tool-wise, we do it in a few lines over tables with many rows/columns via end-to-end GPU acceleration using https://www.RAPIDS.ai (GPU dataframes + UMAP) + Graphistry (GPU viz, which we make).
