It's the Thiel Question. The value in it is supposed to be that it generates thoughtful and insightful responses - if you are right and 99% of people are wrong then that is indeed impressive. Unfortunately, it selects purely from the extremes, where real insight is random. If it generated more concrete (i.e. scientific) responses that could be tested, it would be a much better question.

I also believe this is the case.

Most experiment with 8GB M1 Macs I've seen so far (on YouTube) seems to start slowing down once the data cannot fit in a RAM, although the rest of the system remain responsive e.g. 8K RED RAW editing test. In the same test with 4K RED RAW there were some shuttering on the first playback but subsequent playback were smooth, which I guessed it was a result of swap being moved back into a RAM.

My guess would be they've done a lot of optimization on swap, making swapping less of an performance penalty (as ridiculous as it sounds, I guess they could even use Neural Engine to determine what should be put back into RAM at any given moment to maximize responsiveness.)

macOS has been doing memory compression since Mavericks using WKdm algorithm, but they also support Hybrid Mode[1] on ARM/ARM64 using both WKdm and a variant of LZ4 for quite some time (WKdm compress much faster than LZ4). I wouldn't be too surprised if M1 has some optimization for LZ4. So far I haven't seen anybody tested it.

It might be interesting to test M1 Macs with vm_compressor=2 (compression with no swap) or vm_compressor=8 (no compression, no swap)[2] and see how it runs. I'm not sure if there's a way to change bootargs on M1 Macs, though.

Did you mean that in a negative way? The way I see it, favelas are more of a government problem, not enforcing rules and standards leads to people making up their own (just like Internet standards).

Going with my analogy, someone who built their own house in the favelas is, in fact, "house literate". Their home might be sub-standard, but they can take care of it all on their own.
That's true of 24-hour news, sure. Theu have to fill air time. But most people don't consider that format to be real journalism.

Is there an example of a story on mainstream news sites that was covered without new info? I'm curious to see an example or two, which should be easy to find if it's really happening with most subjects.
China is not going to influence India through news channels, they will do it through pop media like tiktok. And banning those channels will just garner more outrage and discord. Its a win win situation for them. Even if there is an indian alternative to tiktok there is nothing stopping them from posting ridiculous divisive stuff there. Its quite clear that is already happening with America (done by Russia is the suspicion).

If this is your solution to fight against stuff like that, then GoI has brought a knife to a missile fight.

The problem (pointed to in many comments) seems to be confusion about roles.

Economics is a form of science. Maybe not a hard science, but there are honest ambitions to understand the world. Much of it is historical, since it is based on narratives that are taken to explain observed phenomena. The models are then vague and unprecise.

However, government officials and their experts are not pursuing science. They are literally trying to change the state of a system by intervening. The use of academic language is more of an instrument in this, rather than anything to do with science.

I even find the phrasing "the economics profession" (referring to government officials) problematic since obscures policy making in language that sounds scientific.
Sorry, but this opinion is what's wrong with the industry for decades now.

Hardly?

And people are looking to refcounting as a reason why apple software is relatively light on memory, which is completely fair and true and e.g. generally assumed as one of the reasons why ios devices fare well with significantly less ram than equivalent android devices. GCs have significant advantages, but memory overhead is absolutely one of the drawbacks.

> Does earth rules apply to life from other planets?

Any law applys to their territory, independant on whether the culprit is a citizen of that country or a foreigner. Whether they can execute the law is of course a different story. But from where someone comes from doesnt matter in the first place.

Though, you could argue whether laws are limited to humans or whether they apply to every species. AFter all we don't apply the same laws to animals and humans, there are usually differnt sets for each.

> The only reason that laws work is because of the threat of what happens if you don’t obey. If we are not in a position to threaten the extra terrestrials then we are also not in a position to dictate rules for them to follow.

This is a classical problem of international laws. Country A can't execute laws to citizien of country B, because country B is stinky, or citizien already has left country A. Usually there are contracts for this, so in certain cases country B will give their citizien to Country A if the case is heavy enough to justify such an act. But of course they can also just ignore it.

I think there is another dynamics at play here which is selection. I don't think Economists are liars. They're just not essential to the market. Let me explain that first and we can move on to what I'm getting at:

Economists deal with "second order problems" i.e. whatever insights they come up with, regardless of how true or untrue it is, is absorbed by the market and quickly tested to be correct and adopted, which is then countered, which makes it ineffective... or tested to be wrong and discarded. They're basically solving problems which don't need solving and they're a net disadvantage to the market because the only effect they have is the effort put into testing their ideas.

Since they are, at best, non-essential and whatever they say doesn't matter at all, they have the luxury of saying a wide range of things. Among the wide range of things they say, the ones that are selected are those that favor certain crowds.
My old boss operates a 1,000 acre farm as a hobby due to that efficiency. Sure it was a “family farm” but it was a trivial portion of their income and involved 10-15 hours of work a week. It’s hard to argue that’s a bad thing.

Also, I've seen the same stacks succeed and fail. The only common thing I can see is:

- when the tech team fully understand the stack they're using
- when the tech team fully understand the product and business they're building (and can make appropriate trade offs)

There are a bunch of basic tech things. E.g. the underlying infrastructure has to be performance, scale, secure etc. There's also the issue of choosing a tech you can actually recruit for.

It definitely proves that postgrest is not rest in any way.

Sure? At no point have I been arguing for doing REST. Just for not calling things REST when they obviously are not?

> Postgrest, returning/modifying predefined resource(s) based on standard HTTP verbs and whatnot, is at least as RESTful as most other things that use the term.

While I completely agree that PostgREST's qualifier is entirely as worthless as every other thing calling itself REST, I don't think that's praiseworthy.

> Despite the imprecision

It's not imprecision, it's actively lying. It doesn't do what it says on the tin, and the tin doesn't describe what it actually do.

Seems to be a large problem for a great many people with the power to tell lies for the greater good.

(Draws breath and decides to soldier on with the point because it's a sufficient important one).

Without getting into pro-anti-Trump-Biden BS and entirely separate from all of that, Fauci did this. He lied about the utility of masks in pandemic prevention "for the greater good." How do we know? Because Jon Doe's racist blog post said it was 5G conspiracies! No. Absolutely not.

We know he did it because he said so himself. [1]

I think this is a huge problem. If your job is to be convincing to the population about things that large numbers of the population won't, can't, don't, or just plain couldn't be bothered to, understand and you lie and then get caught or confess as is highly likely, you've completely undermined any authority the position you hold had. You spend the currency of that position you inherited from previous holders (or maybe even built yourself over time). The CDC says! Sure, but is it a lie "for the greater good or other reasons" this time? Again? Why is that even a valid question to ask, ever?

The CDC is pretty good. Fauci is pretty good on the standards of these things. Yet people don't trust the CDC and Fauci. There's one pretty good reason why someone might not. He's willing to knowingly tell factual lies and I wish he wasn't.

CDC/Fauci is just an example of the thing. Someone understands they have the power to cheat for the greater good and decide to exercise that power. The bill always comes due. Always. And this seems to be the case lately accross a very wide range of fields where simple, obvious, well supported factual information is being widely rejected due to a total lack of trust. Is that something we can get back in the bottle?

Disclosure: I am personally very much in favor of the CDC and Fauci.

1. Just because they did it and were successful doesn't mean everyone who does it will be successful. They did a thousand other things which will never happen in India. Like being a technocratic society which punishes corruption quite publicly.

2. Just because they were successful doesn't mean that is the only way to do it.
Hard agree on this take. This is part of (IMO) a larger pattern of politicians and society at large struggling to integrate science and scientific insights into social action.

Science won't set your goals for you, it can at most suggest what is the most efficient way to get from X to Y, yet there are unreasonable expectations being placed by society on scientific research (we are seeing this very clearly with covid and GW).

The net result is that science is often used as a shield by politicians, and those bullshit operations are often successful because the general public is so hopelessly uneducated about how science works.
