You don't need philosophy for data structures and algorithms, you need it to prevent you from being stuck in your local maximum, in all areas. That's why philosophy is useful in fields that aren't just practice but also in some way discovery (which software work is and medical work isn't, except for perhaps diagnostics etc.).

This is not universally true. For example, you can go on YouTube right now and probably find all sorts of music videos not hosted by the actual artists, so long as it’s older or more obscure music.

Well I sort of prefer night trains also, in theory at least, but I have to say where I am in a suburb of Copenhagen, it takes me 20 minutes to get to the center station where I could conceivably board a night train.

And I couldn't really spontaneously take a train to the center station where I would then catch a night train because of course I have to make sure I get there in time for the train going to where I want to go.
Thanks for clarifying. This is very different and not quite fitting imaginary narrative of the parent’s post.
Really really cheap pipe tobacco smell quite nice too.
It is possible but expensive.

But the kind of night trains I used to take, no. But that's because I was cheap.

I even took regular, non sleeper night trains. Sleeping on seats is not as good as on beds but much than on planes or buses. These tended to be really cheap.

One interesting thing they did in France was to run high speed trains at low speed through the night (iDNiGHT). The idea was to get an extra "free" slot. Really cheap (I think I paid something like 10€ for a ~900km trip) but not the most comfortable. Still managed to sleep. I liked these but few people did, so they cancelled the service.

Maybe because exfiltration had an established meatspace usage before it was applied to data, and for a lot of people, applying it to data might be an extension (though a straightforward one) of the usage they're accustomed to to.

We're not that tough. Any house built in the past 15 years must meet the newer regulations of double-glazing and roof,wall,floor insulation. There are plenty of older properties without any of these standards and these are terrible and are also probably the most likely to be Holiday homes or AirBnBs, but any houses that are tenanted now need to be upgraded to meet minimum standards.

Most private houses also have efficient heat-pumps in at least one room, I could never work out why we still use aluminum window frames though over normal uPVC, which are still not even an option in most new builds.

Personally I would ban resistive heating, they are generally in lower cost rentals, student properties etc and cost a lot for the tenant to use especially as these tenants are generally at the poorer side of the fence.

Stayed in some really cold crappy holiday homes in the south island one we had to leave the electric stove/oven on full to get it to bearable!

> Once we achieve quantum supremacy, is it still impossibly hard to break the private keys?

The only actually-working-worth-a-damn quantum tech is annealing, which won't run Shor's algorithm. All the rest of the NISQ work for gate-model quantum computing is limited to less than a hundred qubits so far and with the "logical qubit" error correcting requirements, it's going to take millions of those qubits before we can get to breaking RSA keys of any length used in the last decade.

I wouldn't worry about this one anytime soon.

> Could a state actor or motivated rich person burn $10M or $100M to steal the biggest wallet?

You could burn $100M on a moonshot to steal it with no guarantee of success. It's almost like trying to win the lottery by buying a ton of tickets, except the space of all possible options is bigger. Lotteries are something like 300 million combinations; 2048 bit RSA is something like a 600+ digit number, though your cost per play is obviously lower and you can iterate quickly.

You wouldn't want to go after just one wallet, of course; you'd probably want to have a big battery of large wallets to test each combination against. Still, doesn't raise your chances by much. If you have a 10 million core supercomputer and you can test, say, 100 million combinations per second, you're still looking at a 600-digit number of years to work your way through it.

Well my intuition says the opposite and that those numbers seem to track with my expectations.

A large bulk of users likely never sign up for PH, making it harder to vet individuals to make sure they wont report the content. People show up with pretty much one thing in mind when going to PH and it's not really to interact with communities. Facebook has so much reach and such a large userbase that it's harder to moderate, and it's used for exactly what these groups want to do.

If we were only talking about close to 18 yo CSAM, sure that I could believe might be something that is more common on PH. But when looking at the entirety of CSAM, I just find it hard to believe that people would risk uploading a video that clearly has a child in it to a service that actively moderates video content primarily to a community that, en masse, doesn't like the content.

There could be some tabulation issues, but I find it hard to believe it's so poorly counted that it would make up a meaningful difference between the two numbers provided.

The only 'purpose' of love is an evolved mechanism to reward behavior like procreation, pair-bonding, and forming relationships, given that we're a tribal animal. As a person in a loving relationship, I'm not sure why you use an analogy that suggests love is unattainable or should be.

What I understand is that love is an emotional experience that feels great, and some people will never experience it naturally, just like some people have physical or mental conditions and can't experience health naturally (speaking from experience). I would rather have surgery and be able to experience a normal life if I couldn't do so naturally, and if I was unable to find love naturally, I would also rather have an AI that can effect the same experience in me.

> Have you ever experienced Humid -40C air? It doesn't happen.

> I've had very humid -25C air in Alaska

You haven't had very humid -25C air, in an absolute sense. Take a look at a vapour pressure calculator (https://www.omnicalculator.com/chemistry/vapour-pressure-of-...): the vapour pressure of water at -25C is about 63 Pa, but about 13 Pascals at -40C. The difference of 50 Pa is trivial compared to the ~100,000 Pa pressure of air at sea level. Once you're below 0C, there just isn't enough water around in a vapour (or suspended) phase to have much impact.

A Globe and Mail article from 2016 discussed this phenomenon (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/fitn...). Its conclusions were still tentative, but the strongest correlate of the effect seemed to be cloud cover, where bright sunlight felt warmer despite colder air temperatures.
But what sense does it make to blend in anything? If you are a pedophile you want pedophilic content, not blended in, difficult to tell apart, perhaps illegal content. And if the uploader is a pedophile why'd he upload to such a public and traceable place instead of using some private group or some kind or anonimizing software like Tor? Doesn't make any sense. Pedophiles are not out there begging to be arrested.
So, once upon a time, nothing emitted or depended on receiving EM waves. Then, we learned how to use electricity and started putting it into everything. Then, and only then, did we start developing government regulation to make sure that your new device for sale didn't broadcast EM waves that interfered with any other devices in the vicinity.

We are getting to the point where we will need an Underwriter Labs-style independent body to say, to anybody selling an internet-connected device, "your device is not secure enough to be sold; you are forbidden to sell it until you get your security house in order".

This wouldn't solve every problem, but it would solve a lot of it, simply because the cost required to pay for good security would cause most IoT devices that don't really need it, to get rid of it, in order to cut cost and reduce time to market. Only if it if really added a lot of value would the maker be willing to pay for good security; that does not include most IoT today.

There's also the option of better heating systems. Radiant floor heating keeps your feet warm and allows lower room air temperature. Forced air, wood/coal stoves, fireplaces, and radiators don't heat the surfaces you actually touch.

> Sure, for the instruction set all the CPUs are required to be compatible. However, Apple seems to be going in the direction of having many many hardware accelerators builtin to their SoC and integrated into their software ecosystem.

There is little evidence that Apple has built anything truly non-standard in the M1 so far, the closest thing they have is the TSO mode, and that's not an optimisation since it provides stronger guarantees (and thus lower performances) than normal. That cost happens to be recouped tenfolds when emulating a TSO architecture (aka x86) rather than having to do it in software, but that's got nothing to do with ARM workloads.
Nope, you're the one who's wrong. What nicwilson said is exactly right. Without an adjuvant, unless the vaccine itself happens to stimulate innate immunity, this would end up inducing immunological tolerance.

It is true that if you have a strong adjuvant, you could get away with smaller doses of the antigen, which is good for pandemic vaccines.

1. Customers complain that they can't install latest version because it's checksum doesn't match what SolarWinds posted

Did no one think to check why the checksum didn't match?
Author here. Transforming the SQLite format to something else is IMHO not that critical in terms of long term preservation (= several decades). What is really important is that the semantics of the data format is documented and ideally standardized. If the project gets enough traction and the format stabalizes, I plan to go for it. I have also an item 'Export to CIDOC CRM' on my to-do list. CIDOC CRM is a standardization effort for cultural heritage data, backed by a lot of world's most prominent museums.[1] I am not sure that such an export could preserve every aspect of the Factonaut data model, but most of it.

Do you work with professional philosophers regularly?

I recently had a half-hour conversation with a respected tenured philosopher who had strong opinions about ML but literally did not understand what a computer is.

He consistently confused the words "logarithm" and "algorithm".

He regularly humanized machines as if they are sentient AIs. This had practical effects; he drew all sorts of wild conclusions about how you might "fix" a "biased AI" that would be impossible to implement.

He did not understand what the word "data" means. E.g., we got into a discussion about whether a picture of a human face is "data". And not in some profound way. In the way that made it clear he doesn't understand how modern facial recognition algorithms are built/designed. In a way that was simply not a useful point for conversation.

In short, he was doing bad philosophy because he didn't have enough technical background to understand which philosophical questions were amusingly nonsensical and which were actually interesting/difficult. Or even the basic vocabulary to not sound like a fool.

We eventually had a good conversation, because he was smart and willing to learn. But without a STEM expert in the loop, his opinions were worse than useless because they implied solutions that any would elicit bemusement from anyone trying to actually implement a better system -- or even anyone trying to decide what is/isn't ethical to build!

> In your post it seems more that you are arguing against philosophy - not for "philosophers needing stem professionals.

Hm. I stated: "philosophers need scientists/engineers/practitioners more than the other way around. Asking and attempting to answer big questions about the world requires, first, understanding the world. And today, understanding the world requires immense technical expertise"

If I were "arguing against philosophy" [1], then why would I invest time in working with philosophers?! Good philosophy is needed now more than ever.

What is useless -- and not just useless, but even harmful -- is the sort of terrible philosophy that's often done by people who don't take the time to understand the thing they are opining about.

[1] "Arguing against philosophy", I think, is a bit of an oxy moron anyways. Wouldn't any argument against philosophy be a work of philosophy?

Many or most aren’t. I have a bunch of home automation devices and I’m planning for more. Most of them don’t require any internet connectivity, the only one that does (I still have Alexa connected to Home Assistant, planning to replace her with Rhasspy but didn’t find the time yet) is purely an extra method of controlling things so nothing breaks without internet.

I see people buying internet-required devices as the same people who buy the registry cleaners. They don’t know enough about computers themselves, and the advertorials/computer magazines don’t do them any favors.
