Privileged people always cared about politics. That is how you stay privileged. Regardless of context and type of society - whether it is mini society of a company or state or some group. You gain and keep privileges by engaging in politics.
There is still http://themefinder.org/, which is passable for obvious stuff and offers a lot of different ways to search.
The definition of "OK" seems political to me. Are you implying it should be a legal or protected right to not care about politics? That the society you live in shouldn't condone or oppress those who don't want to care about politics?

If so, it seems you DO care about politics.
If we're in different locations and we run a wire between us, and I send a single pulse down the wire. That's one bit of information.

You as the receiver derive the other relevant information from that. A timestamp was not encoded and transmitted, a single bit (pulse) was transmitted from me to you.

That's the thesis of the article I believe. That single bit can "carry" a lot of additional information due to the context and understanding of the receiver. Information that wasn't actually transmitted in the message, but derived from it.

Many on the left operate with "The US is to blame for all the world's problems" as their main worldview. Everything they report on is filtered through this prism.

Personality is largely genetic but doesn’t limit who we can become thru choice and moral reasoning. We built a personality profile that is based on character science and doesn’t limit people to type. Enjoyed your post. Agree that experiencing a destructive leader is what catalyzed the 30 years of research and devotion of my life's work to creating a scientific framework for identifying positive vs destructive leadership. quickly. I found that having a heuristic helps keep all of us choose to grow and lead more consciously. Myself especially! Pam
I've worked for both kinds of leaders. The companies with the kind of leader I describe above were by far the better places to work. The businesses always ran more smoothly, employee turnover was low, there was never usually interpersonal issues, and when problems like that did crop up, they were always solved quickly and by the end amicably.

A leader really can make or break a workplace. A good one can make any job feel good to go to, while a bad one can make the best job in the world feel like a living hell.

It wreaks of privilege and decadence; the narrative too is shallow if not completely unoriginal. Born into a great hall, yet you have autonomy and aren't a slave? You leave at will?

I know there are a lot of gimmicks where you can get outstanding performance if your workload fits within a cache.

Feels like maybe we're getting the same sort of trickery with thermals. I've seen a lot of over-the-top benchmarks lately from low-power devices, but if you tell them to run the task in a loop for half an hour, they saturate their heatsinks, and drop the clock to the sustained "non-turbo" clock or even throttle below it, so the score on the 10th run is a fraction of what it was on the 1st.

On the one hand, this is obviously gaming the knowledge that many benchmarks are short and bursty, but it makes me wonder if there's merit in trying to design a thermal solution that would allow permanent boost clock for thin-and-light-is-irrelevant tasks. If you had a iOS based kiosk or whatever, I could imagine installing a "shucked" iPad that was mounted to a much bigger cooler.

I'll give you my favourite quote:

Ich höre Geräusche, die Andere nicht hören, und sie stören mir die Musik der Sphären - die Andere auch nicht hören.

I hear noises which others don't hear, and they distract me from the music of the spheres - which others also don't hear.

That is Kraus' alter ego speaking, in the context of the Great War and jingoism in Austria-Hungary, which the play satirizes.

Nonsense. Of course it can.

Buy any leaded petrol lately? Aerosols with CFCs? Landmines?

Why? Because nobody wants those things. The companies that made them liked them because they were more profitable than the alternatives (see also: labour laws, etc), but people just wanted transportation and deodorant.

> Cheaper energy always means cheaper production costs.
Absolutely, and a capitalist system will force companies to that cheaper energy to compete. That's not a criticism, that's a statement of fact.

So how do you fix that?
Make renewables cheaper through government investment and make fossil fuels more expensive through taxes, etc.

It's not rocket science.

That isn't to say it's easy. It's not. It's probably the single greatest challenge humanity has faced.

But we cannot simply pray to the invisible hand to save us. It really doesn't care.
Is your position just skepticism of models generally?
The person you're replying is arguing that in practice it isn't "OK", because if "OK" means that you can peacefully live your life as you please, but others are actively engaged in preventing you from doing so, you're forced to care about politics, because others make it not OK for you. Thus only if you are "privileged", meaning that people are letting you be free and giving you your fair share of the resources, can you in practice choose to "not care", since the politics don't affect you negatively.

Also note that politics means: "the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status" and implies nothing about having or not a "Government". That depends very much on the political system itself.
What I'm saying is, if the majority of people in a country that are willing to vote, want to vote in stupid legislation/policy that screws them over economically or whatever, they got what they (f'ing) deserved. Next time, they'll rethink their decisions and in theory, more people will turn out to prevent that from happening again.

The part of GDPR that gets applied here is the general standard for obtaining consent. It's very high-level stuff... So, without very specific case law, it's hard to say. The requirement that it should be as easy to revoke consent as it is to give one certainly resembles your argument.

Is this an X86_64 backend command line option that is being documented in Clang? Are there any Clang specific changes?
Same for Jetbrains IDEs - right clicking a line will show 'open on GitHub' provided your git remote is pointing to GitHub.com.
Using "-march=x86-64-v3" is still a decision which has to be made at compile time. I wonder if the Apple appstore (at least watchOS/tvOS) approach of using bitcode as the one-time artifact and then turning that into concrete instructions later would be possible for an entire Linux distribution (Gentoo II). The Mill CPU team wants to use something like that OS-wide to hide/emulate entire missing functionality on lower-tier CPU models.

Or the other possibility of compiling for all architecture and then selecting this or that function depending on what the current CPU is, or even hotpatching if the security model allows it. I remember either gcc or glibc having some support for one of these.
Nicotine. I've never smoked but I started experimenting with nicotine lozenges and they are great. It helps my concentrations and focus a lot.

The countries that were successful at controlling the pandemic have enacted a series of measures that work very well together, but if one or more are missing, the infections spiral out of control, no matter if e.g. masks are mandatory or certain venues are closed.

A HTTP response may ask the user agent to keep a cookie.

The user agent is free to do so, reject it, or ask the user (as Konqueror did).

It is not the responsibility of everyone responding to HTTP requests to ask to ask “I ask you if I can ask you to keep this cookie”.

Remembering that HTTP is a format of messages being sent between people, it’s clear to me that this law is unwise. Likely written by Eurocrats who don’t understand HTTP.

I am interested to discover from my karma change whether the following opinion is an unpopular one; it certainly is becoming increasingly unspeakable in the sense of http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html.

I think you're drawing a false dichotomy here, especially with "If you have any empathy and care about any people in those positions, you can't just be apolitical.".

One could be consumed with agony about all the things you mention, and still believe that it is better to focus on other things. The mere fact that a problem exists doesn't mean you must drop everything else to go and fix it, especially such a large and intractable problem as "a third of the population unfathomably has a worldview totally incompatible with my own". You may instead choose to solve a different problem where you think you have an actual chance of making progress.

For example, I am of the LessWrong school, and I consider one of the greatest sources of suffering to be the fact that people die; but I am not reskilling into the field of human longevity, and I don't think (?) society would excoriate me for that. And since I have chosen not to work on that particular infinite well of suffering, I have to not care about it so much, for the sake of my own sanity and my ability to work on other things. If mere knowledge of the existence of an infinite well of suffering obliges you to expend huge amounts of effort on fixing it, woe betide you when you discover another one! If you want to put everything you have into solving one of the problems, then you simply have to weep, put aside the others, and try not to let the constant agony affect your efforts in the place where you think you can actually help.

It certainly sucks hard that many people have their country's political decisions thrust in their faces every hour of every day. Come to that, 58mm people die every year, which is an overwhelming tragedy that most people manage to ignore most of the time so that they can actually get anything done. But I have the choice of investing effort into fixing only a very limited number of problems, and I do not judge someone who runs the numbers and thinks they can do more good by not pouring all their effort into the impossible ones. I stress again that politics really is extremely hard (just look at the US election results to see how much popular support there is for both of the two highly incompatible sides of the USA election).
I just categorize iOS devices as consoles, analogous to things like Nintendo game systems, and not as true general purpose computers.

I also consider it foolish to attempt to innovate on this platform beyond the narrow confines of what mobile devices typically do, or to put too much engineering work into iOS specific stuff. Apple can and will simply revoke your app for fickle reasons. iOS is a pretty dumb term for cloud apps and the web, and that’s it.

That being said I do have an iPhone... because for my phone that’s all I want and it works well and has better privacy than most Android devices. I basically want web, email, texting, calls, and maps, and maybe occasional apps like Uber or whatever. I don’t use it as a “real computer.” I have a real computer for that.
They mean solve with a certain asymptotic time bound.

Edit: with that said, the title is written like they have a proof that classical computers can't match that time bound, but it's just strong evidence, which is definitely an advance, but not what the title implies.

I agree with you. For folks reading along, there is an entire discipline around this stuff, it is call vulnerability analysis and surety systems. There are a lot of good papers published by Sandia National Laboratory on these topics. They were responsible for developing the US surety system around access to nuclear weapons[1]. When I worked at Sun they gave a talk at an e-comerce payment processing forum that Sun was participating in to discuss how you approach the problem of securing something in presence of known and unknown bad actors.

In particular they discussed the systems around banking which prevent your bank from stealing your money from you. A topic that I found quite interesting.

But one of the things that has always stuck with me was the discussion of the trade-off between the "cost of effort" to "actualize" a vulnerability. It is the difference between having something that could be done in theory versus having doing it having a high enough payoff to actually do it. When you look at things like dye packs in money and silent alarms and time locked safes, those are parts of a system that minimize the amount of money you can expect to make off with in a bank robbery. They are part of a surety system that is protecting the money in the bank. And they don't make it impossible to rob the bank, they make the likely-hood that you'll have enough profit from it to risk it low enough that people don't do it.

Only the most privileged people have any reason to really care about politics, because only the most privileged have political power.

The less privileged you are, the less point caring about politics. The least privileged have no political power at all. The less privileged are affected by political decisions but they don’t care about the politics per se, instead they care about how the effects of politics touch their lives (through laws, policy or practice.)

Edit: In a democracy it is our responsibility to care about politics. However, it is a tragedy of the commons in that as an individual, time spent on politics is probably mostly wasted, given the amount of political power we control as an individual (assuming that political knowledge doesn’t give you much other benefit). A large percentage of the world’s population has even less power than the right to vote or otherwise be politically involved.
