I've been coding off and on professionally for over a decade and I STILL feel like an imposter.

I still have to look stuff up constantly.

I still watch how-to code videos everywhere.

Don't know if I'm alone or other people just can't bring themselves to admit that.
What's "random logic"? From context, it sounds like circuitry that explicitly implements the functionality of an opcode, as opposed to circuitry that can be used by the microcode, or something?
I believe that a small subset of humans are fundamentally evil and that these people are hungry for power and are therefore the most likely to get into positions of power.
If you keep any system running long enough, the scum will eventually float to the top. When that happens, you have to stir the pot. We need a reset.

Any political system which will shake things up is welcome. Communism? anarchism, capital redistribution, wealth tax, universal basic income...
It works. It convinces people not to vandalize buildings and such.
All of this was deployed in the Azure. I could perhaps have been clearer - all the enterprises I've worked at in recent times have been happy to deploy non-Microsoft services, but only when those services are deployed to the cloud. As far as on-prem goes, they exclusively stick with Microsoft (and sometimes Oracle).
> At least for software, we know of one solution that works: free (as in speech) software. Still made by humans, but usually without the self-serving greed

Sorry, but this is laughable. Instead of self-serving greed, you have self-serving "what interests the person writing it." That leaves us with open source software that has horrible user interfaces and is every bit as user-hostile as for-pay software. (For example, see the recent arguments about git's UI in this thread[0].)

So if you were emperor of the world, would you throw the political class and supporters in Sweden in prison for their unreasonable response to Covid as compared to the rest of the world?

Or would you throw the rest of world's leader's and supporters in prison as the opposite of that argument?

Are you personally willing to do this? If you ask a man with a gun to do it for you are you ever worried he will turn the gun on you?
Why do people still publish in the terrible 2-column format as though their readers are going to print the document on A4/letter paper?

You could say the same about ethical theories too. They all have a way of explaining what they would do when confronted with a runaway trolley or some silly thing like that. The fact that all political ideologies have a way of explaining why they would get in a bus queue just shows that asking someone about why they line up for a bus is a good way to find out about how they think about the world politically. It's just using a simple example to illustrate how anarchists make sense of the world. There are many people who (understandably) think that they don't live their life in an "anarchist" way, and this article is just showing people that there is probably a lot about their life which is consistent with anarchism. There is probably also much which is consistent with the principles of other ideologies, but anarchism is one of the least understood, so a simple exercise like this can be informative.

[That being said, as something of an anarchist, I don't share the Graeber's conception of anarchism but that's another issue.]

You should try Signal than because there it's possible.

Just FYI: I'm not arguing for Whatsapp. Just against the usability argument against Signal.
If this list includes depression treatments, they are examples of treatments for which "high-quality evidence" of the sort that is demanded is impossible.

The only way to know whether a person has the version of the disorder that responds to a particular drug is to administer that drug and see. Psychiatrists try prescribing different drugs until they hit one that works, or give up. Imagine designing a randomized-controlled-trial for that.

If you need help: first, select a group already using the drug. Split them up and give half a placebo. See which get worse. But first, find someone unethical enough to run it, and admits it.
That's actually not a bad little board.

I've been laser focused on RV64, but RV32 is nearly identical. It is a shame the current VexRiscv bitstream for this board doesn't seem to support atomics though.

Ah I misread OP as saying people downplay obesity and don’t consider themselves fat. I took you to be giving an example of someone who thought they were not fat but were in fact fat.

Rereading OP’s comment I see they’re instead talking about people downplaying covid because they think it only affects people who are morbidly obese. My mistake.

Though, I suspect probably at least 80% of the people in the overweight/obese category legitimately have too much fat. Especially in america. Compared to the rest of the oecd, america has a much larger portion of “morbidly obese” within the obese category.

BMI does also underestimate obesity in some. On average it’s a reasonable definition of overweight/obese. The example you gave is an edge case, but the studies concern themselves with averages.

> the history of the world is full of examples

The written history, the recent past. We can observe settlements from the past but know very little about the time before farming because there were few or no settlements, which is not actually that long ago. This "will to use violence use it for their own ends, form gangs, and militias" might only be because we ran out of resources and space and shifted from "mother earth provides" to "this is mine". At least, that's what a book I'm reading hints at, but again, it acknowledges very strongly just how little we know.

There isn't a going back to before possessions, obviously, but I'm also not convinced that a majority of us are dishonest by nature. Certainly enough that we need laws and enforcement, but what would happen if we manage to get to a point where there are enough resources for everyone and automatic systems do most of the necessary work like making food? Do we still need the same level of security just to protect ourselves from a few sadists or could we have a more anarchistic society? Can we embrace some of the ideas that those unhappy with our current society propose?

Honestly I feel like most of this discussion is a definition issue. One person will say "anarchism is great" or "that isn't what anarchism is, you have to picture it this other great way" whereas another will make different assumptions and conclude it's ridiculous. It's a bit like being in a communistic country talking about switching to capitalism and arguing that human nature's greed can't be trusted or something. Rather, it might make more sense to propose incremental changes rather than talk about a completely different society where (if we're all being honest) nobody really has any friggin' clue if it'll increase median happiness.

One thing that is clear from history is that forming groups is bad. Making this about us vs them (anarchists vs <insert other group>), left versus right, etc.) inherently causes disagreement when I think most everyone's goal is increasing the common good.

Has there been data showing that people with 25-30 BMI are at an elevated risk? I have’t seen that anywhere, everything I’ve seen has been about obesity. I would be very surprised considering that level of BMI has even been shown to be beneficial in elderly surviving some diseases.

The fact that you gave an example of a situation where violence isn't necessary doesn't preclude situations where violence is still necessary.

Suppose somebody decides that they want your house, and they don't really want to share it with you. It's much nicer than the one they have now. You ask them to reconsider, and they politely decline. Now they are pushing you toward the door. What do you do? You can pretty much either let them do what they want, or not let them do it. "Not letting people do what they are determined to do", is, in some sense, the definition of violence. In this scenario, you could either enact it yourself, by pushing them out the front door, or you could leave it to professional violence-doers, such as the police. Either way the result is the same - the person is no longer able to do the thing which they still very much want to do.

The fact that there are lifelong criminals completely proves that the threat of violence is necessary - there are people who may never be dissuaded
from trying to hurt people. I fully support a restorative and rehabilitative approach to justice, but no amount of rehabilitation will let us release the golden state killer back into society. And as long as you keep him locked up, you are doing so through violence. The prison walls aren't really the thing keeping him in there - those can be subverted with enough patience and planning - ultimately it's the people in uniforms who will tackle him and drag him back in if he tries to leave.
OSKit: A set of components oriented to creating operating systems
There's really no reason to believe in the provenance of any of the code in the Linux kernel. People mail around patchsets, claim they are "signed off by" someone, and they get patched into various trees and merged here and there, and eventually wind up in Linus's tree. It has all of the safety of email, which is to say none at all. Compared to code review practices at software companies, where diffs are reviewed and approved by identities authenticated and authorized by secure computer systems, the linux kernel system is a complete joke.
Yes, exactly - the logic that implements the simpler instructions directly as special-purpose gates rather than microcode.
You won't win.

A large portion of the internet is now of the thinking that 1 is too many. They will not admit it but they are anti-abortionists in their thinking and in their behavior. No matter what numbers or facts they see it does not change their emotional response - much like an anti-abortionist.

This large portion of the internet follows the media to find something new to be scared of each day. As soon as they find out a study or news article wasn't correct they latch on to the next study in an attempt to justify their fear.

This large portion of the internet also claims they follow "the science". They do not. They follow whatever scary story is in the news that day. As the days go by more and more facts pile up that this virus was never the threat we thought it was - yet they disregard it and continue to say they follow "the science".

More and more information piles up every day yet they don't change their mind or their position. Just like those anti-abortionists. Just like science deniers.
That's just gatekeeping nonsense.

It has admittedly been a long time since I've read the book, so my recollection of it may be a bit hazy, but:

> Why would a few minutes of compute offer Durham any more relief than a second of it, a theoretical proof of it, or a billion years of it? Since they are even in a position to kickstart something computable, it mathematically exists, therefore by the Dust theory they don't even need to start it in order for everything in the book to happen. Admittedly, that makes for a much shorter book (or a billion trillion other scenarios and then some, whatever floats one's boat)

I'd guess for "flesh" Durham's assurance that the simulation worked as well as he thought it would. It's one thing to be pretty sure it'll work in theory, but I'd imagine it'd be quite a bit more reassuring to see it in action.

Of course, TVC-Durham gets to see that it works subjectively, but from outside the TVC universe the only way you can verify that it's working is to run the simulation and observe the result.

I don't think they had enough compute power to run a billion years of the simulation, and a few seconds is too short to e.g. see people interacting within it.
In what way is the regular planet debian website censored?
I used the library in a hobby project, where I used sql outer joins to produce maps to dativity. Dativity controlled the sql transactions to change the process instances. It was simple to implement and it controlled different business processes.
The library itself is stateless thus it has no thread pool or anything that can execute scheduled tasks. Thus the trigger for change needs to come from the outside.
Edit: I do not think dativity tries to replace BPMN. Its an alternative approch with its pros and cons.

> Yet history is littered with the failures of authoritarian modernist regimes. Indeed, the record of utopian schemes to improve the human condition is dismal in the 20th century. In the Soviet Union, Stalin’s plan to transform “small, backward and scattered peasant farms to amalgamated, large scale socialized farms” led to brutality and starvation for millions. In China, Mao’s Great Leap Forward propelled the nation into the Great Chinese Famine. Even Le Corbusierian plans in Brasilia or Chandigarh have become embarrassing examples of government hubris. Why did authoritarian modernism work well for Singapore and poorly for others?

And given this track record, why is high modernism still given such pride of place in the minds of the highly educated, who ostensibly are more attuned to contradictory evidence than the average person? Singapore is held out as the model when it is the exception.

I guess in the words of an old song, "everybody wants to rule the world."
The overweight block isn't much of a concern. The percentage of Americans in the overweight category hasn't changed since 1960 and there's little indication being overweight is nearly the danger that obesity is. It's almost exclusively the obesity group - which has exploded higher since the early 1980s - that is the concern.

If you're 6ft (183cm) tall, you can be 185-220 pounds (~84-100kg) and you fall into the overweight group.

That group has very little to fear from Covid due to weight, unless they have other serious health conditions. Being 10 or 15 pounds overweight isn't going to be a meaningful problem when dealing with Covid. If you're 80 or 100 pounds overweight - obese - that is going to be a major risk factor.

The number of people killed just by Covid in the US in the overweight group, under the age of 75, is likely to be numbered sub 1,000.

Which is the fundamental flaw of anarchism.
A lot of embedded compilers are bad or at least old. You frequently only get C and not C++, so you can use header files as a sort of template. Write all your real code to use a peripheral in the header, but wrap all the function names, global variable names, and peripheral register names in special macros. Then, in the .c file, you can include the header file multiple times as long as before each include you define a handful of macros that rename all the function, global variable, and register names in the header so they refer to the correct peripheral instance.
It definitely isn't as user friendly on the desktop. It is basically a chrome sandboxed app, which is far from a native app like Telegram. Additionally, you have to sync your devices. Once they become out of sync, you can no longer decrypt the messages on desktop. If you break/lose your mobile device then the messages are gone forever.

Signal is great for enforcing end-to-end encryption, but doesn't yet have the mechanisms in place to sync across devices automatically to make it user-friendly. Telegram is great for most messaging, and if you want end-to-end, it has that too but is mostly limited to mobile devices.

Would be great for someone to implement GPG on top of their cloud-based messaging though.
basically anarchy works as long as you ignore everything we know about the human nature, interpersonal relationships and the logistic that make possible for a section of the population to hyperspecialize and drive progress.

Nice. I find this kind of information very useful. I would add action images not just logos to the posts. It gets people's attention.

I'm in the process of learning how a site like yours is put together. Would it be possible for you to share how you put it all together. We would all find it very useful, if you did.
This is about as good as it gets for the concept, but lacks as a name. I propose boof.

But actually there's two "natural" hardware implementations for this. First is like floating point with no sign bits (mantissa is positive or zero, exponent is negative). The other is fixed point, basically re-interpreting unsigned ints as being implicitly divided by 0xfff...f -- both have advantages and drawbacks. And then comes the operations. Multiplication is the only closed operation -- addition, subtraction and division need special cases: should they be clamped, or wrap around? Both, probably -- wrapping is useful for trig functions, for example.
You think there is a group of people inferior to you that need to be ruled.

I'm curious. I'm not aware of any ECMO or LVADS designed or made in Mexico. Do you know what it was called?
> I'm sure the experts disagree on some points

That is quite an understatement, given that many experts made complete 180 turns contradicting what they said earlier.

But let's assume that they all agree on some point. Epidemiologists are still epidemiologists, i.e., people that know about diseases. They can inform you about how viruses spread, or what measures work best.

But they don't decide policy. Society needs to balance much more than just this epidemic. No intervention has zero unintended consequences.

Something that is getting clearer as numbers show more and more that the lockdowns so loved by the experts cause far more damage in other aspects of life, like premature death of untreated cancer patients, suicides, starvation, and so on.
> If you cannot see why that code example is almost guaranteed to cause problems, you might not want to continue in this discussion...

Why not? Wouldn't it be especially important to educate these people? Overly ignorant people sure can be annoying, but at least give people some information on the right concepts instead of only derision.
I understand what you're saying and I see the confusion. To be more clear, I agree with you and BMI is a terrible measure of "overweight"/"obesity".

As someone who is 5'7" and 160 pounds, I'm considered "overweight", but if you saw me in person I'm almost certain you wouldn't think of me that way because I look quite fit. In reality, I have a decent amount of muscle mass from being physically active, but the BMI measure doesn't take into consideration muscle vs fat, and thus I am technically "overweight".

My point was not that everyone who is technically "overweight" is "fat" or "unhealthy", but rather that the COVID-19 reporting statistics that use those words are also using that "terrible measure" of BMI, and according to BMI, even typically-seen-as-healthy people fall under that "high risk" category, and people should be aware of that rather than assuming they are safe from COVID just because they are "fit".
Unless you coordinate the different app to be compiled with a specific version of a library when compiling, effectively creating a distribution.
Compensation in academia is already bad enough. Take away the boosts to the ego and you are going to make the politics even more toxic, and potentially cripple an entire generation.
I never said there wouldn't be taxes.
I disagree that my thinking falls apart. Maybe my message is not coming across clearly so I’ll try and restart it:
We are not talking about a benefit that is systemic and a typical part of our workforce. We are talking about a reaction by companies to help their employees during an unprecedented failure of normal institutions during a moment of global crisis. To extrapolate that into an argument of choices around kids, equity of benefits, or the the role of government vs. private responsibility. We’re taking about something that started 6 months ago and has still not returned to normal, if it ever will. This will require a fundamental rethink of how we work, yes, but in the interim, parents needed help, companies stepped up and complaining about any of that seems selfish and missing the point.
I think I can see it: they write the software without having a clear proof (that, say, it is mathematically inconsistent and will crash). Then they execute it for long enough for its self-test phase(s) to be reasonably validated (with all the resources they can get in the "normal" world), therefore practically reassuring themselves that there's a mathematically valid outcome (in a "formal verification" sense), which ensures at least one configuration existing with their wishes (the Garden-of-Eden one).

It does have the side effect of ensuring the reality that exists also has a way to know the Garden of Eden configuration (provided the people scanned are/were made aware of it prior to the scan, since it's made clear that there's no guaranteed way to know what happened to the "flesh person" after a scan when you're "reborn virtual".
