As a GPU programmer and someone who’s experimented with genetic algorithms, I believe you are misunderstanding the concepts involved.

Genetic algorithms are in fact much better suited to SIMD than MISD, as you want to run the same evaluation on a population of individuals with different attributes, and they scale perfectly well with current hardware.

Take a toy example, you could fit a small neural network in a single kernel, and there you would obviously run the same inference algorithm with each neural network having different weights and biases.

That won’t work for large networks, but in general there you’d want to scale by using multiple GPUs, and there genetic algorithms scale even better as you can run each machine almost entirely independently.
It's very hard to kill software that works.
On normal Linux, if your device has a proper PMIC with a driver that allows this, you can just change the max charging voltage to something like 4.1V or less via sysfs (/sys/class/power_supply/*) on each boot. You can do the same for maximum charging current, to avoid so called "fast charging", and charge at 0.2C for example. And that's it.

Quantnet is a good forum for financial engineering and computational finance. They have a dedicated forum on books in these areas. Have a look at them.

Why do you want to learn computational finance? That will be the key driver to the type of books you should be reading. A lot of coverage in this area has institutional focus, you typically will not have access to those instruments as individual retail investor.
I think you are mixing "official wayland reference" and some "advocates".

The offical Wayland reference does not talk about malware at all, as this is not not something that windowing protocol can solve. The best they can do is to promise "client isolation" -- which means that one client cannot affect other via wayland protocol

I am sure there are some Wayland advocates somewhere who are making dubious claims. This does not mean the Wayland security is useless -- this just means that specific systems are not secure yet. People on the internet can claim all sorts of crazy things, and you should not hold what random bloggers say against the whole system.

Re X11 sandboxing, from my reading, the general opinion is that X11 is impossible to secure. They did SECURITY extension, but it apparently does not work well, see this wonderful quote from Debian's ssh manpage [0]

> Debian-specific: X11 forwarding is not subjected to X11 SECURITY extension restrictions by default, because too many programs currently crash in this mode.

What other X11 isolation mechanisms are there? Xnest breaks seamless window switching, things like VNC introduce a ton of latency.

So before the Wayland we did not have a desktop with solid client isolation, so not one cared about process isolation either. What's the point of running browser from trusted account if any random desktop app can steal its keystrokes? The best one could do was Quebes OS, and this had plenty of its own overhead.

Now with more people switching to Wayland this should help. It's far past the time that people stop assuming that
"one human user" == "one entry in /etc/passwd" and start separating services by account.

Not sure how XQuartz works, but Apple does like to deprecate APIs when a new one comes out. So if XQuartz relied on any deprecated ones, that would be an issue when they get removed.
Yes, there is a single transactional global state.

There is always state somewhere, the question is where it should be.

Global state is the input to the program, and a new global state is the output. Given identical inputs, it will always produce the same output.

This is the entire principle behind ACID, and mutation of global state is a common approach for functional programmers regardless of whether they they are using a DB or not.

If a DB were not fully transactional, or if your queries of the DB are not deterministic themselves, then we’ve moved out of functional territory.
This story is repeated so often and is never given any context.

The story with Tesla is funny to me, the anti-Tesla crowed is just running down the field with goal post as fast as they possibly can. The TSLAQ crowd basically has two last bunkers they are defending, profit from regulatory credits and Tesla cars are literal trash when the come out of the factory. Both are vastly blown out of proportion.

When Model 3 started to come out people said Tesla could never bring a mass market car to market. Prediction over prediction how it would kill the company. When that was accomplished people said, well but you can never make a mass market EV and be profitable, and the rules and regulation around regulatory credits have not changed since then.

Now Tesla is making a profit for 6 quarters, now even in a pandemic year its not enough profit, because some revenue might go away in 2-3 years.

What they ignore is the progression of both growth and margin, even excluding credits. Tesla grew automotive deliveries by 36% in a pandemic year and improved overall operational margin from basically less then 0% to among the best of any car company. During 2020 they have innovated technologically in many ways, most uniquely literally turning into a battery company that makes not only its own cell but also its own cell manufacturing equipment. Guidance for next year, and Tesla has been conservative with guidance since 2017 disaster, is another year of growth of around 50% and with operational margin that are as good or better then 2020.

During 2020 they have massively expanded, more the doubled, Shanghai factory, they have begun billing truly huge factories in both Europe (Berlin) and the US (Austin). This required huge amounts of capital and will only real start to really make them money in 2022, but its massive operational leverage that is being generated here.

Even when taking this into account, what many still ignore is that Tesla has to make massive investments in things they don't get a return for yes. Massive expansion of the supercharger network, service centres and stores. Basically every existing car company is making a huge amount of money from service (essentially parts), this is because they are not growing and the have millions and millions of cars that are out of warranty on the road. Tesla because of its growth has way more cars under warranty in relation to those out of warranty and that, plus building up new locations, makes their service a huge drain on the company.

In the long run, both the super chargers and service will be making lots of cash for Tesla but you never hear this mentioned, specially in the sites that cater to the TSLAQ. There is just a large market out there for negative prediction on Tesla. The Fool is one of those pages who has been writing negative Tesla articles, for many years now. They have completely gotten the story wrong so many times and the often had known short seller write articles for them.

The 'Tesla can not make money without credits' storyline will hold up maybe a 1-2 more quarters.

Keybase chat allows you to delete messages on both yours and the recipient's side after a set time limit.

If this feature made it to any open-source or public protocols, it'd be pretty much impossible to guarantee that your message is actually deleted on the recipient's side. Someone could always make a 3rd party client that ignores the request. Or a user could just take a screenshot/etc.

As far as I know, there is no technical reason why Wayland would have better hardware acceleration.

Modern X11 compositors work on very similar principles. — the only difference is the Wayland protocol requires that there be such a compositor, and on X11 one is free to even use outdated server drawing calls that have not been used for decades.
No, I truly mean people who are against any sort of immigration. A subset of which who say that they escaped from worse cultures and don't want the new culture to be diluted.
The X11 protocol allows any client connected to the server to become a keylogger or insert input events. So, even a X11 client trapped in a sandbox or another user account has full access.

I think they are also trying to balance not losing money since there's no egress charges for data coming out of the Outpost and into the customer's data center. I imagine for some use cases, that cannibalizes some revenue.
I think a precondition of the entire discussion is that we’re talking about what’s more effective in resolving disagreement - which would be measured by whether a disagreement process approaches the conclusion that would be reached between two rational agents sharing their information.

Note that I am not saying I believe humans do act that way, rather that is the yardstick of outcome to decide if one disagreement resolution technique is better than another.

Like I said, it is something that should be pull requested to the upstream, and if that fails, then fork. The fork is a secondary path to cooperation.

If the conclusions are that the platform cannot support cursor acceleration the proper way (i.e. the way all commercial OSes do), the premise of the library is flawed. If not, then it must be the whole OS that's flawed, because that needs to be possible on a desktop system. Linux's cursor acceleration sucks, there is no excuse for the whole UI layer of the ecosystem being as bad as it is.
Another interesting idea I've been playing with is that there's no guarantee that the lifeform that replaces us will be the same level of complexity. What does it feel like to be a molecule? A mitochondria? A cell? All of these are or were once self-contained "things", but now they exist as part of larger systems. Our image of the beings that replace us tends to look like us and be roughly the same size - robots or little green men. But what if the thing that replaces us encompasses us, so that individual humans become cells in a giant superorganism.

There's some evidence that this is already happening - with 6 billion humans on earth, the global economy is already showing specialization (similar to how cells develop into organs in a human) and complex emergent behavior, with parts of it dying off without killing the whole.

What if the reason are experience looks like it does, with life a full 1/4 of the age of the universe, because at later points in the universe's evolution, life at this scale becomes meaningless and the primary sentient beings are planetary civilization interacting at the speed of light through the galaxy? Or galactic civilizations interacting throughout the universe?
Do you mean "opponents"?
For example, this post is the only post on HN about wayland keyloggers, and it is clearly written by Wayland opponents.
Is there some reason you cannot just set the output scale? This almost certainly already does what you want. If you're talking about X11 applications running on XWayland, I think you can still change the properties there with xrandr.

Not ecstasy and psilocybin, but a few years ago, I met a psychiatrist who had worked in the armed forces and then alongside a crisis SWAT team. After decades of seeing people hit rock bottom, he learned about ketamine therapy as a treatment for treatment-resistant depression. He described it to me, a psychedelic skeptic, as “the closest thing to a miracle drug that I’ve seen in my career.”

I’m not sure why, maybe because he seemed so much like the opposite of a “woo-woo” clinician, but the way he said it stuck with me. It has been fascinating to watch this space and the forward-thinking mental health companies that have been developing in this space.

It's just amazing
This forum is a product of VCs and big tech. A huge portion of Silicon Valley wealth comes from enslaving and subjugating Asia.

This audience is probably the people who need to hear it most, but also the audience that it would upset the most.

When did hacker culture evolve from loving technology and rebelling against the establishment into placing profits above human lives? Is a nice tech salary all it takes to purchase one's humanity? What about the promise of VC billions?

The profit motive subjugates the poor, perpetuates genocide, and upholds slavery. Technology is not some humanist savior, it has been twisted to exploit the many and serve the few. Maybe one day our advanced technologies will work to serve and uplift the people rather than suppress them.

I've definitely tried that and it has the wrong effect in a lot of cases. The worst is Chromium (via QtWebEngine, via qutebrowser), which seems to ignore things.

No, I'm not using XWayland.

I edited my comment above after you posted -- the Wayland protocol unfortunately does expose the screen size in millimeters to the client. I'm pretty sure Chromium and QT use this, which is why I need to lie to them.

Another question: is there any sort of "Wayland socket proxy"? Like a stupid simple program that offers up a $WAYLAND_DISPLAY socket to a client, opens its own to a server, and then passes all results through unmodified? It would be really easy to hack a change like this into a proxy like that, but I can't seem to find one. Sort of surprising; the simplicity of the Wayland protocol makes it seem like such a thing should exist. Sort of like waypipe, but without the cross-network magic.
Yes, ketamine can shut off depression like a light switch. That's really, really good for the population it works for. Of course, it can also cause psychosis.

As someone who nearly got murdered in their sleep by someone on one such ketamine-caused psychosis, I think that caution is warranted when prescribing it. Waking up to take a knife away from a crying person is not something I would recommend to others.

I've heard that there are studies on a metabolite of ketamine that's supposed to avoid the psycosis. I really hope that works so we get something this powerful without the downside.

I'm interested in discussing things that are knowable, and where I have some chance of learning things. You said that HFT was absurd. It was easy to point out that there are real, practical benefits to HFT (those benefits become even clearer if you do some reading on how crooked the human-scale market making system was prior to HFT; Google, for instance, [odd eighths]).

That's the extent of my interest in this discussion. If you do some research and find out something that refutes my argument about HFT, I'd be interested in learning about it. Otherwise, I think if we're on the same page about this detail of the thread, it's fine to leave it there.

> giving an application access to the input system gives an application access to everything

How do you figure? There are systems already (like Wayland) where default access to input only gives you input when the app is active, and entire different process is required for global hotkeys or key logging.

There are no nice GUIs to manage that AFAIK, but this is not an impossible problem to solve anymore.

> The same of course applies to giving it access to the file system.

uh, what? no.
giving a browser access only to "~/Downloads" will work great and will make it much more secure.

The modern Linux is much more than capabilities and user-based permissions. A mount namespace with selectively bind-mounted dirs can do wonders for security. And things like "bindfs" which can translate UIDs on the fly can give even more isolation.
Guys, you need to understand what media is showing in india is not true, as it is controlled by Govt and corporates. Media publish picture guy raising sword, but not explaining why. Media didn’t publish pictures about events that lead to. Day before govt supporters warned that they will tomorrow unless they vacate the protest site. Next day even police barricade in the view of warning , still they let govt supporters in and local senator arranged trucks dump stone piles close by. Govt rioters move in start stone pelting and police watching , infact escorting them eventually inside the protest site and rioters strat damage. Meanwhile police also fire tear gas at protest site even protesters weren’t attacking back as they know govt want to provoke them. Eventually one of guy picked up sword to scare the roiters to save women and others. That’s it, 6-8 police and government supporters beat him with batten mercilessly, strip him and took him. I can add all pictures if this platform allows.

When they thought us about it in school they said that the most common problem of a severe infection is that it can cause anemia, because the adult worms feed on blood in the intestines.

It can be prevented by using shoes and not walking barefoot.

There are also other species that infect cats and dogs. In those cases what often happens when the larva encounters a human is that it can enter the skin but it can't travel further, so it only does that first part with the itching and drawing red "lines" under the skin.
I have internet access (I am from and live in Nigeria).

Nobody consulted me (or my country, or any of the countries it's purporting to help) about Starlink. Our input is of course never needed - why would it, when America (both the government and the companies) can simply decide what's good or not good for us instead?

In fairness, this is a deep-rooted bitterness that goes far beyond this one project. The sheer fact that an American company can just up and do things that impact the entire globe on a whim (and worse, the power the American government has to approve/"regulate" such projects as though only their citizens are impacted) is unbelievably absurd to me (see also: Facebook, etc).
Good to see the blanket anti-drug hysteria of the last century being slowly dismantled.
