i appreciate the perspective. with Asperger's, i'm just literal and up-front. i do make it clear that Bob Goudriaans is a Chartered Account, specialising in International Tax Law. perhaps i should also mention that NLnet has been operating for 18 years, now?

no i didn't go into heavy details on the internal architecture, i did the study (with help from Mitch Alsup) on OoO for 5 months straight, back at the beginning of 2019. when he explained how easy it is to do multi-issue if you use Unary (bit-level) encoding on the Dependency Matrices, i went, "ok that's it, we're using that" :)

what the plan is, is to do instead of big.LITTLE, to do "long.FAT" :)

by that i mean, we will have one core that is high multi-issue and high clock rate, but the rest of the cores are MASSIVE on SIMD engines but light on issue (single or dual).

all still SMP, but some cores just absolute processing Monsters.

now, we'll still need a separate Texture Cache (in addition to I-Cache and D-Cache) because texture interpolation, we'll still need a pixel tile memory area, and so on

but we want to see how far we can get and still not have everything shipped over to a completely separate processor. that is madness, the driver development alone having to contain a full-on RPC mechanism. no wonder latency on GPU Shader execution is so bad on commercial CPUs.
You can always serve source maps for debugging purposes. They only get loaded once you actually open up devtools and start poking around. You can also configure stack traces to use the source maps, but I do understand the complexity increase in doing all this.
Thanks for testing! I'll get it fixed asap.

You probably aren't finding cars this old on the market because their owners drive them into the ground.

We were raised to follow this practice and it's hard to imagine doing anything else.

My current car is 20 years old and I have owned it for about a decade. All the other cars I previously owned were also about 15+ years old. I'm not interested in buying a car with a shorter lifespan.
This is awesome! Anyone know of an alibaba source for thermal labels with embedded NFC radio tags?

General trend is bigger packaging with less actual product. We see this in cereal and in cat food. More units bought -> greater profitability.
>Ultimately it is a strategic business objective to develop entirely Libre hardware, firmware and drivers.

What is the thinking behind this? Build it and they will come?
The hardware folks picked fancy stuff that was not intended for automotive use. Look up the screen yellowing for an example — no manufacturer would sell a screen in the size Tesla wanted that was rated for hot car interior temperatures, so Tesla went with one that wasn’t.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I do a lot of reading on a kindle and convert whatever I need using Calibre, but PDFs, because of their fixed formatting, are a bit of a nightmare.
Interesting, thanks for the detailed write up.

Like discussed earlier in this thread Argos Translate tokenizes the incoming text into what are essentially words and then passes them to the Transformer network. For situations where the risks of translations that are fluid and seem reasonable but are totally wrong is high neural translation might not make sense even though the quality is generally higher. Instead you would probably want to use rule-based translations like what the Apertium project does.

Despite your attempts to provoke me, my answer to every question has been "it's fine" except for the clear cut case of abuse. Now you're continuing towards what I view as islamophobia even after my warning. I really don't understand what you're hoping for here.

Child abuse, rape, and forced marriage are all things that should be illegal. Claiming a law is wrong shouldn't be illegal, but if the church was actively pushing their members to commit crimes they would likely be accessories. At no point would I ban a religion.
Can someone actually explain to me why Mozilla stopped building in an RSS reader into Firefox?

If it also can subscribe to substacks, it's like a Pocket that actually gets updates. Heck, they can just build it on Pocket!

It seems like that could be incredibly valuable for the open web — and a free tool for conveniently reading newsletters built into Firefox might even increase market share? Looks like they removed it in 2018...but I never heard of people switching to Firefox from Google Reader, so I assume it was never very good, or poorly advertised?
Based on the 4% rule, you are financially independent already, and likely have been for some time. You are still very young, so you can take some time, years if necessary, to figure out what you want to do. Do some part time work if you need to keep busy.
> This isn't a law class, so let's not apply those standards.

You are missing my point. If you re-read my comment carefully, you will see that I explained in some detail why I'm often disappointed in the quality of discussion here.

Only one part of my comments pertained to an undergraduate law class. I mentioned it not because I expect specialized knowledge of the law, but because I expect a certain amount of preparation before making strong claims. If you make a claim in a law class, you must be ready to support it. You are expected to know the history, arguments, and connection to the topic at hand.

I think many software developers can relate to the need to explain their claims in a work setting. For example, if a developer suggests that an organization switch from technology X to Y, they should expect to be asked why. So, it is not very different from the expectations of a undergraduate law school class.
In your opinion (I doubt any of what you said has hard established fact to counter it), do strict lockdowns work? Or is there a spectrum of lockdown we should be considering to balance a myriad set of social, economic and health concerns? The problem is, someone asking the second question in today's hyper-polarized world is somehow equated to being an anti-science, self-serving politically motivated miscreant. Or in your words "liars".

Nah. If you're worried about the kind of attacks that necessitate sending your own hardware, then, regardless of who owns title to the device, the firmware being replaced to snoop on or alter what is actually in RAM is in-bounds.

There are lots of ways of hiding persistence on a system, and decades of research along these lines. Once it leaves your possession, there's not much you can do to ensure that it still has unmodified code on it (assuming standard PC hardware).

Really though this isn't the threat model at all for someone who just wants to use a VPN, I only went there because the comment senselessly advised shipping your own hardware to the colo. That's the same privacy as using the colo-owned machine, which, for a VPN, is the same privacy as using a generic $5/mo VPN service, as in all cases the upstream can be trivially monitored (even in the case where it's your own, tamper-evident HSM-whatever remote attestation hardware).

I can't tell you what to do next, but I can offer guidance on your next job hunt, if you decide that's what you want to do. Apply to medium-to-medium-large sized companies and ask on the initial screen interview if you'll be interviewed by the person you expect to report to. Don't continue the search at places where the interviewers are different than the manager.

Once you get this and make it through the HR and technical screens, make sure to let the prospective manager know your situation. Open up fully, tell them who you are and what you're looking for. Do this before the offer stage, and preferably before an onsite. Don't try to tactically approach it and don't go for any strategy other than being honest. Your hiring manager's reaction will instantly inform whether you're looking at the right team. If not, just bluntly ask if they know of any other teams at the company that seem like a good fit.

I think you will find this approach is less of a dice-roll. Whatever way you go, congratulations on your professional success and good luck on your next move.
it has absolutely nothing to do with an attention economy or corporate market capture.

I disagree strongly. My complaints are not merely theoretical. Addressed in the Reddit post below and the three internally-linked articles. That subreddit itself is a failed experiment at community-building and fostering. One of several. (There's also been the rare modest success.)

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/8rq08y/i_wont_...

There was a time that intelligent conversation was ... reasonably easy to find online. You'd head to the appropriate Usenet group, later an email list, or, for a time, Slashdot.

Hacker News seems to be about as close to that as I can find at the moment. It has numerous flaws, and it definitely has its own niche. The moderation philosophy is excellent and the practice nearly always lives up to the goals.

I came to have a strong appreciation for the site by voicing disagreements to dang, generally in email, and though I sometimes disagree with specific decisions, the actions which are made are in general fair and serve the site's goals. The increasing politicisation over the past four-plus years has clearly been problematic, but HN's breasting of that surge has been largely admirable. Not that the occasional thread doesn't fall flat, and not that there aren't rampant attempts at manipulation. But as a whole, and compared to other platforms, the bottom's not fallen out, and the site's not become a complete cesspit.

Usenet was small. I've a copy of John Quarterman's The Matrix, an overview of online conversation forums and networks published in 1990 (it covers Usenet, it does not include WWW or Gopher). That includes DEC's estimates of Usenet activity. The total population with access was ~880,000, and I believe fewer than 150,000 active participants (posting activity). HN alone, a minuscule site by modern standards, is roughly comparable in size (precise statistics don't seem available, though this is my general understanding).

Usenet also had high barriers to entry, though based largely on interest and aptitude (by way of university campus access) rather than market-based rationing. Campus-based administration also helped moderate behaviour, though more overt mechanisms had to be developed with time, and ultimately Usenet could not scale to the hygenic-controls needs of a multimillion-user network, on several fronts, so discussion migrated elsewhere. (Yes, a tiny fraction remains on Usenet, but for all intents, it's dead, Jim. https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/3c3xyu/why_use...)

It's not that you get trapped in some ED mutual admiration society. It's that the folks trying to launch or join an earnest discussion ... often cannot.

Drew, thank you kindly (and Netflix) for your contributions to FreeBSD. They do not go unnoticed.

> It behaved like a futures contract that never expired.

What does that mean? A futures contract says "on [date], we will exchange [X amount of goods] for [Y amount of money]". If there's no date, nothing ever happens.
I don't tend to see this option talked about too much. If I were in your position, I'd probably look at reducing my hours down at my job. Give myself an extra 1-2 days away from work, use that to rest up a bit and start figuring out what you want next. Perhaps it's a move to your own gig, contracting, or a full career change. No matter what you end up doing going down to part time makes it a slower step. It gives you some time back while you evaulate options, but keeps you in a job which provides benefits and stable income.
(Thanks for continuing to engage on this. It's a fun conversation :) )

Yes, I suspect the blog post is more interesting if you already have a theoretical background, and are interested in the various ways that theory plays out in applications. I certainly doubt the post was written with the HN audience in mind in particular.

For me, theory is like a compression algorithm for knowledge. The more I can interrelate things, the less I have to duplicate the commonalities, and the more I can focus on remembering (and judging based on) the differences. So I get a lot out of this kind of thing.

(Personally, I use these kinds of transforms all the time -- especially "defunctionalize the continuation", which is lovely for mechanically making a simple recursive algorithm into an iterative one more suitable for something like Java. The theoretical background makes me more comfortable going between different representations and keeping track of precisely what is changing and what is being held fixed.)

I guess it's more about fluency in changing code than fluency in reading or writing code. Dynamics rather than statics. I think I can appreciate that if you're just looking at Visitor or sum types in isolation, it's not worth getting into the weeds over. But it's comforting to me to know that if I need to change various parts of a system, I know exactly what and where my degrees of freedom are. I can redefine the module boundaries one step at a time, and relatively smoothly and slowly shift the mass of the codebase around.
What concerns me more than disinformation are the arbiters of what makes for disinformation. Most people have no problem seeing bs, but hiding it would be termed censorship in just about any era other than today's.
The fundamental problem with the example under discussion seems to be that while the behaviour might not be intended by the programmer, it is working as specified as far as the language is concerned and changing that specification to make the unwanted behaviour fail a type check could have additional and unwanted side effects.

Perhaps I’m not correctly understanding your idea around arity as part of the function types, but so far it’s not obvious to me how what I think you’re describing helps to resolve that contradiction. Are you suggesting a way the type system could be changed without causing those additional, unwanted side effects?

Do you by any chance have a more rigorous definition or even a formal semantics for your proposed arity types that you could share, so the rest of us can understand exactly what you’re proposing here?
No kidding. Years ago I had a collapsed lung and surgery to repair it, and they sent me home with some kind of opioid. I took one and felt great for about a half an hour. Then the room started spinning and I spent about 4 hours trying not to puke, which would have been really painful with a bunch of stitches in the side of my abdomen. Once that passed, I threw the rest of those things away and just took some tylenol and tried to just move carefully to avoid pain.
How about a an edible fungus that is fed by radiation?
>I am irritated by the weak justification though

Pot, kettle.

>Humans evolved the ability to eat meat because it increased their chances of survival in a hostile environment with scarce resources.

It doesn't stop there. Humans have subsequently evolved to thrive on fatty foods. Our understanding of nutritional evolution is incredibly weak. Despite agriculture predominantly giving us access to carbohydrates, human brains are mostly fat-adapted. Many of today's health epidemics are linked to a lack of fat and an excess of carbohydrates. Try finding fatty fruits and veggies: they were incredibly scarce for most the human population until the last 100 years. Several people have noticed significant improvements going predominantly meat. There's more going on here than just the scarcity argument, the scarcity argument is a gross simplification.

>Comfort is the only reason why healthy people eat meat

No. Plenty of people are eating meat to be healthy. People are, in fact, getting frustrated by listening to the advice of the average western diet, listening to dietitians when they get fat, and unable to get in shape despite putting in an insane amount of effort listening to their dietitians putting their hormones out of whack, making them hungry and agitated 24/7, while they keep saying "just keep going". We don't process meat-based products the same way we do plant-based products.

This is not to moralize meat. Rather, this is to indicate people jump on the "meat is bad / lazy / immoral" bandwagon way too quickly, being spoonfed the common narrative without doing an ounce of research and frequently without experience. Just like the average person doesn't eat meat for any other reason than their own comfort, so does the average person stop eating meat because everyone and their mother claims eating plants will save the world. It's becoming a story of "my propaganda is better than yours".

Sorry to be pedantic, but the perpetual is a swap not a future.
This isn’t true. The Bitmex “perpetual swap” isn’t any different from what spread betting and CFD dealers have been doing for years. They are basically just very short term futures that automatically roll forward.

The real genius was to invert the trading process. People often talk about Bitmex being a Bitcoin derivatives platform, but it isn’t. It’s a USD derivatives platform. When you trade on Bitmex you’re trading USD derivatives funded in Bitcoin. This is what in theory allowed them to sidestep all that pesky KYC.

well, that's because Hayes is right: the only difference is in the amount of the bribe.

As a mere billionaire, he can only afford coconuts. HSBC can afford 1.92 billion dollar totally-not-a-bribes-even-if-it-works-the-same

> After HSBC admitted to laundering nearly a billion dollars for the Sinaloa cartel and moving money for sanctioned customers in Cuba, Iran, Libya, Sudan, and Myanmar, the Justice Department elected not to indict the bank or its officials, instead having it pay a $1.92 billion fine and install a court-appointed compliance monitor.

HSBC was only missing North Korea to get a perfect axis of evil collection :)

> this state has zero credibility

HN has even less. Wait a few hours and look at the offended virgins that will post angry replies saying the state is right and billionaires are evil in general, and this one in particular.

Old school geeks used to be innovative, libertarians and pro freedom.

In 2020, now that they're at the top of the food chain thanks to selling online ads, they are mostly concerned by enforcing societal norms and praising the status quo, while creating the perfect surveillance apparatus for the big government. Of course they must bow their heads to their corporate masters - they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them!

A lost generation.
Over-Engineering a Mun Landing in Kerbal Space Program
People looking for direct meat replacements arent always doing it to be healthier though, so they might be okay with it being just as unhealthy as meat.
The word used for "heart" in the text continues today in Arabic (لب) and Mandaic (ࡋࡉࡁ࡛ࡀ) -- and I imagine other Semitic languages -- with the same context/usage maintained.
The original definition, as far as we can track it, would appear to be "wet".
Well, the term "meat" is what clicks and pull most of the customers towards these products. I would say the marketing people have done a good job keeping that name.

On the other hand, however, I think that keeping things like "chicken", "beef", etc in the names is what is confusing and misleading. I'm a vegetarian but everytime I pickup plant meat and see the words "chicken", etc. on the labels, I freak out.
Action Before Belief (2009)
The sentence in question could easily be found in a legal document, it's not really casual language.

The word "Formell" seems to trigger the EU focus, maybe it's very characteristic for established norms within the EU's translation service. Changing it to the closely related "Formal" makes the translation work: "The law on women's voting became effective on 16 March 1971." Another option would be "Offiziell", which gives the so-so: "Women's rights were officially enforced on 16 March 1971."
They pay all the taxes they are legally required to pay.
The article I linked claims:

A fractal antenna's response differs markedly from traditional antenna designs, in that it is capable of operating with good-to-excellent performance at many different frequencies simultaneously.

Is this inaccurate?

The associated electronics are obviously necessary too.
So one thing I know is that for all the books by John Scalzi, their listings on Google Play Books have a note of:

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

(see https://play.google.com/store/books/details/John_Scalzi_Old_... for an example)

And indeed once you purchased his books you can download a DRM-free epub or pdf file of the book you purchased and use any tool you like to read it.

I don't see similar note on the listings of his books on Kindle store, so my _guess_ would be that Amazon is unwilling do fulfill this request from the author, but I could be wrong (I never owned any kindle device anyways).
The key is to apply the strategy of the cookoo bird and have others care for your offspring out of their own interest.
