Isn't there a way around this? When coding for graphics stuff writing to GPU mapped memory people usually take pains to turn off compiler optimizations that might XOR memory against itself to zero it out or AND it against 0 and cause a read, and other things like that.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d12/nf-...

> Even the following C++ code can read from memory and trigger the performance penalty because the code can expand to the following x86 assembly code.
C++ code:

Copy *((int*)MappedResource.pData) = 0;

x86 assembly code:

Copy AND DWORD PTR [EAX],0

> Use the appropriate optimization settings and language constructs to help avoid this performance penalty. For example, you can avoid the xor optimization by using a volatile pointer or by optimizing for code speed instead of code size.

I guess mmapped files still may need a read to know whether to do copy on write, where mapped memory for the CPU in that case is specifically marked for upload only and gets something flagged that writes it regardless of if there is a change, but mmap maybe has something similar?

(edit: this seems to say nothing similar is possible with mmap on x86 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31014515/write-only-mapp...

but how does it work for GPUs? Something to do with fixed pci-e support on the cpu (base address register https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_configuration_space)?
A third possibility: Greenwald has bought heavily into the same cultural zeitgeist that is extremely prevalent on this forum: that "SJWs" and progressives will somehow destroy the fabric of neoliberalism.

Just don't use services that track you. It's possible to live a fairly normal life despite all this. I do it. Don't carry a cell phone, turn off javascript everywhere, use a non-onstar/etc car, don't fly commercially, use cash for in person transactions and bitcoin (or monero) online where you can.

All that said, I'm not planning on trying to overthrow the government or anything stupid. I just don't like being spied on. I'm glad these treasonous idiots carried their ankle bracelets (cell phones) while they committed their crimes.

I'm not too surprised at the spatial resolution that basestation multi-lateration gave either. The low noise and synchronization of clocks in modern cell phone basestations are getting really good. GPS is not required.
Well whatever it is, I think it’s a stupid decision that harms their potential customers.

I have never had a Twitter account, so unfortunately I cannot do the same. I'm hoping more people here do the same as you so we can get a cross section of the accuracy for that specific bot detector.

I have problems with articles on both sides of the issue using all kinds of speculation and innuendo to try and discredit the opposite side. I would rather just read articles that cover studies explaining results (data) and methods used to support their position.
The problem of addressing global warming is very much one about persuasion. That means getting beyond people's tribal defences, which are a big part of climate change denial. Disinformation campaigns play a significant role, but the reason the disinformation is so effective is it plays into people's confirmation bias which is driven by perceived threats to their status in society. They see this liberalism as threatening, of which anthropogenic global warming is a part, and reject it outright, willing to accept any information that confirms their prior emotional decision.

I believe that we need a Greta Thunberg-like figure who is conservative-leaning on literally every major topic of political contention, except believes that anthropogenic climate change is real and we should take significant action to mitigate it, and then we need the media and entertainment industries to prop them up as virtuous. People's instinctive defences will be lowered and we will be surprised at how easily people's minds can be changed.
The Botometer is a non-explainable ML model, not a scale or a photodetector, so I'm not convinced it's actually valid to use it for this kind of study. Did the researchers verify that "spreads climate disinformation" is not itself a factor in the Botometer classification?

The point about cameras blanketing DC reminded me:

Do we know if there are any security cameras in the US Capitol building? Were they all working? Has the footage from the insurrection attempt been saved?

I ask because the capitol seems like one of those places that would resist internal security cameras because congresspersons wouldn't want their meetings potentially being recorded. Plus the general incompetence of security leadership before and on that day makes me wonder if any cameras were actually in working order and saving footage.

I said something akin to men are unlikely to be nurses, so I didn't choose men.

I think the ideological rhetoric of feminism has infected the viewpoints of normal people so much so that one needs to tiptoe around something that is obviously true. This may be good from a social standpoint as it opens up equality of opportunity but it is bad for science. The movement has silenced people who point out inevitable differences in observation. Women are different then men and giving them equal opportunities will yield unequal outcomes based simply off of actual biological differences in behavior and physical stature. Such censorship is bad for science.

I stated an observation between sexes that is completely obvious and avoided even entertaining the reasoning behind why such observations are true because I don't know why they're true. Yet it still hit your ideological nerve, no doubt due in big part to the tenets spread by ideological feminists. I support equality but not equality to the point where it denies reality.

Yes, people labeling real people as bots so that they can disregard their viewpoints. Mostly it's democrats / liberals who do this. Oh, you support republican policies? You must be a Russian bot! Oh, you are skeptical of climate change? You're a bot!

Yes, this can definitely be a problem. I worked on a transaction processing system that was entirely based on a in-house memory mapped database. All reads and writes went through mmap. At startup, it read through all X gigabytes of data to "ensure" everything was hot, in memory, and also built the in memory indexes.

This actually worked fine in production, since the systems were properly sized and dedicated to this. On dev systems with low memory and often running into swap, you'd run into cases with crazy delays... sometimes a second or two for something that would normally be a few milliseconds.
> All other scenarios would require us to be extremely lucky

I think I understand your position now, but I don't agree with this part. The paradox is asking "if intelligent life is common, and intelligent species invented space travel billions of years ago, wouldn't we have seen some evidence of them?"

It seems like you may disagree with the premise that it's likely we'd see evidence of them in any case. And that may be so. It's completely reasonable to say the Fermi paradox is invalid, for this or many other reasons. I don't think it was all that serious to begin with.

My objection isn't to dismissing the question, it's to the author presenting it as though it was fundamentally about human or Earth exceptionalism. I see no reason to assume that's the case.

As an illustration, does it change the nature of the question to remove Earth entirely and ask "given the age of the universe, etc., why haven't we seen evidence of alien civilizations visiting Mars? Or Titan? Or Kepler-16b?" I think it's the same paradox, it's just harder to make the point that way, since we've never been there ourselves. Asking it about Earth doesn't necessarily presume Earth is special, as the linked article suggests.

Can you keep a professional job in media if you believe public institutions are corrupted and you bring that standard to your work? You can write, you can be popular on social media, and you can even get the odd freelance gig, but if you align yourself against real power itself, I think he's saying you cannot be an employee, editor, or producer.

I can't see how a serious writer would want to be a journalist now anyway, and Greenwald seems to recognize that there is no "back" to go to. What forward looks like for writers is much more interesting.
This is exactly the sort of mind reading and motive attributing that we don't need.

This is rather off topic, but I hate how these sites have all links be internal. There's text saying "Microsoft announced X last week" and it's a link, but when I click it I don't go to the announcement, I go to their article about the announcement.

It frustrates me to no end that I can't easily reach the original material because the site wants to keep me engaged.
I was using Waterman Intense Black, which writes really smoothly but is not waterproof. I've been trying a Noodler's Bulletproof Black which is a bit more water-resistant, and so far it's okay - and the bottle was about the same price as a similar-sized bottle of Waterman. I want to see, however, whether I have any problems cleaning the pens (piston-fill) with the Noodler's.

Come on, you are saying that greenwald is compromised because he attacks the left, yet he’s done good work at the same time on Brazil and bush? So which is it? He’s crazy when he’s talking about others but not your side?

> And it also makes sense why Apple doesn’t want you to be able to fully disable wifi on your phone.

If you're referring to the lack of a hardware kill switch, that's true for 99.9% of Androids too.

If you're referring to the temporary WiFi off toggle in the Control Center, the reasoning is that most people don't remember they turned off WiFi (my parents for example) and won't remember to turn it back on. But you absolutely can disable it by going into the Settings app.
That’s a side effect of enterprise software development, because politically it’s all about posturing to make non-technical management more comfortable. “Wow they’re really confident they must know what they’re doing”

The same attitude existed in C++ programmers in that space that sneered at Java’s intrusion.

I see the same attitude in new teams using Golang in the enterprise.

> it hides synchronous IO and doesn't produce useful error statuses at access.

You can trap IO errors if necessary. E.g. you can raise signals just like segfaults generate signals.

> I'm not sure how non-blocking IO is "the problem."

The point is that non-blocking IO wants to abstract away the hardware, but the abstraction is leaky. Most programs which use non-blocking IO actualy want to implement multitasking without relying threads. But that turns out to be the wrong approach.
Anything, not something.

>It's provably impossible to create an algorithm that can losslessly compress any data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression#Limitatio...

I think that's the joke in Silicon Valley.

Edit: And for the "New Internet" Argument, you especially cannot compress encrypted data efficiently, as that would mean you can discriminate information against random noise, and therefore break the encryption. So you cannot overcome the bandwidth limitations, can't scale the decentralized network arbitrarily. The Silicon Valley New Internet is based on magic. It's a take on the "Problem -> [Hype-tech magic box] -> Solution" type of "idea", you find a lot in people... When people dream, not solve problems. It's 6 seasons around something not possible fundamentally.
I dislike how "reversal" has a negative connotation (to me as well). Reversals of bad decisions should be applauded, not ridiculed as if doubling down on a bad decision is somehow more noble.

> I would appreciate a more standardized practice around, "If Slack says you are available, we can expect you to respond relatively quickly" than seeing a green dot and not hearing back for hours or a day.

No. Slack does not know if I’m at my desk, busy, or even taking a protected me-time lunch break. And no, you cannot expect me to manually update my status in Slack, Teams, Zoom, and every other communication tool I’m forced to use every time I walk upstairs to nuke my coffee or use the bathroom.

I ran my account through it and got a 0.0 rating, and ran it against my followers, and got similarly low scores for the accounts that I know to be real people (the highest score for a follower I know to be a person was 0.8). I saw higher scores for either accounts that followed me out of nowhere (I'm not interesting enough to draw real strangers), or for accounts that are run as public profiles (an artist with a public account for their comics). I'm inclined to assume that you likely have either atypical or impersonal twitter habits.
The closest thing that I am aware of was Symbolics OpenGenera.

Symbolics (who owned the first ever .com domain on the Internet) made Lisp Machines -- high-powered personal workstations whose entire OS was written in Lisp, right down to the lowest-level code. They used special proprietary processors which executed a sort of Lisp-like bytecode, enabling Lisp to be compiled down into something that ran directly on the metal -- using lists instead of the C model of bytes, words and pointers.

This is the where what is now called the "Windows key" came from: the Lisp Machine's Meta key. That's why Emacs still calls it "meta". Emacs was the native editor of these OSes.

The company devoted a lot of R&D into processor development over the years, moving from arrays of chips to single large chips to smaller chips. Their last hardware was an add-in board that fitted into 680x0 Macintosh computers and ran the Lisp machine's Genera OS in a Classic MacOS window. The code was actually executing on its own hardware in its own separate dedicated RAM and just used the Mac as a display, storage controller and network interface.

After this, the company was unable to keep up with the speed of simpler CPUs that used the C style of design. Symbolics response was to port their OS to run on the most advanced RISC chip of the time: DEC's Alpha processor, the first 64-bit RISC chip.

Symbolics wrote an interpreter for their Lispy bytecode that ran on the Alpha, enabling what was now called OpenGenera to execute as a program under DEC's OSF/1-based UNIX, later called Tru64.

This interpreter was extremely fast because it was implemented to fit entirely into the Alpha's L1 cache -- 8kB each for Instructions and Data. An 8kB runtime meant that it never got flushed while you were running Lisp code.
They can use other identity providers.
