I have read and re-read the guidelines and I really hope I don't cross the boundaries while writing this comment.

This democracy report sounds like as if written by an Indian journalist Rana Ayyub. (https://twitter.com/ranaayyub) She writes columns in various western media outlets. Her whole career is built on the foundations of hating Modi. Various statements used in the article linked above, sounds eerily similar to what this lady writes time and again.

While I don't give full marks to Modi administration, I do not believe the premise set in the article (or the report) at all. For all unbiased HNers reading this and unfamiliar with India, the issue at hand is very complex. You have to understand, there are vested interests around the world who want to disgrace the current administration in India by hook or crook.

There are issues and problems on both the sides (Hindus and Muslims) but in case say in a murder, a Muslim is the victim, the machinery of the likes of Rana Ayyub have the power to flare it up on all possible International platforms giving spin to the story what suits their own narrative but things go unnoticed when a person from some other religion is a victim when Muslims kill someone. An example, Sometime back a Muslim politician abused a Hindu group; in return a Hindu leader abused Muslim God. A fatwa was issued and the Hindu leader (Kamlesh Tiwari) was murdered by Muslims within few years of uttering the words. His murder never became the hot topic in International media.

I can go on and on to negate every statement in the linked article with supporting proofs if people here really want to listen with eyes and ears open.

All I want to say this There is a lot more to it than meets the eye.

I'm not really sure what went wrong on my Xubuntu 20.04 system; I was never able to get a single game running under Proton. Attempting to do so would essentially soft-lock the entire Steam platform until I killed every process related to Steam, pressure-vessel, and Proton.

In the end, I ended up reinstalling Windows because of some other system-related issues, but I'd have loved to be one of the happy Proton users playing Windows games on Linux.
I do not see how this gives more power to the driver. Decreasing responsibility is not equivalent.

Lots of the math in games and ML assumes you’re operating in the reals. For example, the optimization in neural networks. Integers and fixed point won’t work.
I was really annoyed by that one because the "areas of brain do different tasks" hypothesis has very little to do with phrenology, which is about how studying the shape of the skull might tell you things about the personality and thus has very little to do with the brain itself. And is complete bunk, unlike the brain regions thing which is not simple but does have some basis in fact as you pointed out.

LIDAR would not have made any difference if the car is not coded to handle the situation, let alone how in the hell is that even legal? We can only make an assessment of what the car saw if he were lucky enough to have the screen data as seen in car if not all telemetry from its recordings.

I own a TM3 and I do not have the "FSD beta" that is in limited testing. I will say that the car display portion of the UI really does not impress me in what it shows and does not show.

As in it is damn happy to show cones and garbage cans but I have instances where it showed me cones front and back of a vehicle but did not draw the vehicle in between. Same with a floating garbage can where sometimes the loader was visible but the truck itself would wink in and out.

I really wish people would quit ascribing super natural abilities to LIDAR let alone superiority. Plus I really want to see studies done which show the impact having hundreds of LIDAR equipped vehicles would have on people, animals, and even insect, life. (then again how many vehicles in traffic does it take to cause an issue for them)
Signed infinity is nowhere near the 'expected result'. Zero has no sign. NAN would be a better result off the top of my head.

But I see from the standard that dividing by zero returns infinity with the xor of the dividend and divisor. This also makes no sense - since zero has no sign, its not possible to tell what kind of infinity would result. It's strange that the standard permits both the infinity result from dividing by zero, and simultaneously supports signed zero.

<edit: add xor>

I guess at this point it's easy enough to get an antigen test to see if you had it, but I'm sure a great many people who got Covid last summer didn't get a positive test. A lot of places the official advice was not to bother so long as symptoms were manageable at home.

I think this particular issue is less about speech or cancel culture. This wasn't even populism (the usual force behind cancel culture), this was power structures that exist above us acting in our "self interest".

The Suess estate has all the right to denounce their own book or whatever. The real issue is that copyrights have been extended to last so damn long that something which ought to be in the public realm by now will be copyrighted for god knows how long (see: copyright term extension act).

Ebay has all the right to delist whatever they want in a free market. The problem is that we don't have a particularly free online marketplace. Unlike meatspace, the vast majority of 2nd hand internet transactions happen in a handful of marketplaces (amazon, ebay, etsy, Facebook, etc). These handful of mega marketplaces have become an oligopoly, effectively. I don't know the solution here (regulations? antitrust action? government-run open source marketplaces that would therefore only ban actually-illegal listings?), but the problem is that a few companies have way too much power.

In conclusion: Copyright has too much power. A handful of tech companies have too much power. Making this about cancel culture is, in my opinion, an absolute distraction of the real issues.

A thousand times this. Neoliberal capitalism has hollowed out the middle class over the past 30+ years. The working class knows that the ruling class doesn’t address their interests. They have been voting for the change candidate since 2008. The election of Trump, despite all of his flaws, was a rejection of the ruling class. This ’woke’ movement is a reaction by the upper/ruling class to reassert their authority. As Dr. King said, the rich white plantation owner used slavery to keep the poor white man down.
edit:
I wonder if the post-WW2 expansion of the middle class was an anomaly, and that we are now just reverting to the mean.
I think it's absolutely fine. How many people test their web applications on Linux? Few, because there's a virtualization layer between the application and the underlying operating system, so webapps are a write once, run anywhere application.

Games can be the same, they just need an abstraction layer - be it a VM, an emulator, or whatever Proton is.

And sure, you may not get perfect performance, but that is becoming less and less of a problem.
I didn’t read that. I was simply responding to the someone saying the economy was not zero sum and saying that, that specific statement is categorically wrong.

The origin of energy in the universe is not known and the beauty of the universe is your opinion and not relevant to this conversation.

There are several things about energy that are always true as far as we know:

1. We cannot created or destroy it.

2. There seems to be a fixed amount of energy in the universe.

3. As energy rises in entropy either through inevitably or usage it becomes unusable to us. You can heat your room with a heater but you can never recapture that heat to reheat your room again. Therefore “available energy” is limited.

All of my statements can be derived from the “axioms” above. Concepts like beauty or the origin of energy is not derivable from anything we currently know.

The first sentence of that story says:

> New York City has banned the term "illegal alien" when used "with intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person," the city said.

That sounds like an important qualification, but I suspect in praxis intent is hard to (dis)prove so it would probably depend on the judge and precedents?
Ads and Reddit gold (its own currency). I think that various membership related monetization is the future of Reddit and far more stable than ads. Just look at what Twitch is doing with subscriptions, bits, emotes and donations.
Well, if you study what makes some people and speech persuasive, you will not be easy to manipulate any more. Perhaps it will also enable you to manipulate those without such knowledge. Like an arms-race situation

Dont forget that some people are excellent manipulators without having to read about it in a book, its like natural talent for them

Thats why we protect minors - they are so inexperienced, so an adult could easilly manipulate them into sex, crime, anything.
The response I had earlier in the thread is absolutely applicable to this.

It doesn't matter. At. All. How the operations work inside the cockpit of an airplane. What actually happens in an airplane is 0% important to the conversation.

What actually matters is the public at large's perception of the term "autopilot" and their perception of the term "co-pilot". If the public perceives "co-pilot" as being less functional than "autopilot" then it does not matter at all that in aviation a co-pilot is actually more capable than an autopilot.

>> for first-class linux ports?

I don't want ports. I want proper linux clients developed alongside the other clients, which is relatively easy under tools like unity. Every developer gives lip service to "maybe linux later" but they never do it. If they aren't doing cross-platform development from day one there is next to zero chance of them doing it later in the dev cycle when such things are far more expensive.

What would really light a fire under developers would be for people to run away from windows for other reasons. A few more privacy fiascos. Yet another attempt at "versionless" windows. Another Vista. Only when users actually dump windows for other reasons will major game developers truly care about linux.

I'd say the vast majority is upper-middle. People who have plenty of money but who had to earn it.
Honda seems like a very conservative company. It's released a couple of low volume "production" cars as it's dipped its toes into electric cars as well. The Honda Fit EV was a real production car, available to the general public (and I did see a couple of them on the roads in the US). But it was only available to lease, and Honda only leased about 1000 of them IIRC. Seems like a hedge - it gets them some experience with running an electric vehicle program, and data on how their vehicles do in the wild, but in a limited enough number that there won't be any serious harm to their reputation if the vehicles are deficient in some way.

So where Tesla might want to put this sort of tech into the hands of as many customers as possible, as soon as possible, Honda is being Honda and entering the water very slowly.

Obviously most of this licence is awful, to the point where I could be convinced it's a troll.
On the other hand, I don't fully disagree with some ideas of a moral license. I've even considered adding a line forbing any thing I make from being used for irl weapons/war as I don't think I could handle the weight of knowing code or hardware Ive designed was used to intentionally hurt someone. From the perspective, I can see how somebody that is a very devout Christian could want to use this licence. I think the idea of morality licenses deserve more thought than an outright dismissal. Of course, as other comments have pointed out, drawing that line will always be hard. If I already wanted to exclude being used for weapons/war, why not tack sexism, racism, use by opressive governments, being used to hinder free speech, etc. on there too? I suppose the easiest answer is to say that there's a threshold of ambiguity, that is while there might be edge cases in weapons/war, sexism and racism would be a lot harder to define- is porn sexism? Is talking about statistics about health data between races racism?

I suspect HN is pretty heavily left-learning atheist, which is leading us to immediately dismiss an otherwise not-crazy idea because of a particularly crazy example.

I suppose I'd like to know if there are some morality clauses that could be considered reasonable? Especially that of weapons/war.
To use only integers, you generally try to express all numbers in units of the smallest quantity. So any money is in integer cents, any distance is in integer (spatial resolution size). It gets annoying with derived units: Time can be stored in integer frames, but then you'll need a rational type of some kind to properly handle velocity. Or you just round to the nearest (spatial resolution) per frame and hope the errors don't look too weird on the other side.

> There is all this talk that Proton will make people want to develop native Linux ports but I don't see any data or logic to back that up.

I haven't heard of this, honestly. I'd fully expect it to damper Linux port development, and I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

It's entirely possible for a game developer to treat bug reports from Proton users as legitimate, just as much as they may for a native Linux port. Wine is effectively just another Win32 runtime that happens to run on the Linux kernel instead of WinNT.

I've had instances where the native Linux port of a game failed to launch entirely, but the Windows version through Proton worked flawlessly. I've also heard that some games perform better on Proton than native, because of the DirectX -> Vulkan translator outperforming straight OpenGL on Mesa.

Other commenters have mentioned this, but it boils down to market share. Linux's market share is downright trivial. If I was a game dev being raked over the coals for a release date, I wouldn't frankly give a damn over Linux, and I say this as someone who mainly uses Linux.

That's why I don't think this is a problem. If Proton becomes big enough then it becomes another "target", just another runtime to replace the old glibc/mesa one that devs can test if they want to.
Out of Distribution Generalization in Machine Learning
I would suggest otherwise. One of the reasons that people choose differing clients, is because they have preferences in how they like the data/process represented.

If it is necessary for a team to be "all on the same page," then the management needs to require that everyone use the same rendering client.
GP is implying that the admins will find a way to take down WSB if it does in fact ever threaten Reddit's IPO, whether or not any actual rule breaking occurs. Which wouldn't be completely unheard of for Reddit.

I am guessing that it's more about being alert enough to take back the wheel once the car starts beeping and displaying that the censors are no longer able to distinguish the road. Hoping that this would also pause the media player.

I have the 2019 Accord with the regular Honda Sensing and this happens in multiple situations. For example, the car will turn off automatic cruise control if the weather becomes too severe. Snow can also obscure the sensors in winter.

Some roads are also too damaged (no lines, no barriers) for the lane keep assist to work and you need to control the steering manually when this happen. But that is probably not an issue for the honda sensing elite.
Warp engines are powered by annihilation, since it's an "easy" fuel, but the annihilation itself doesn't move the ship. Similar to how nuclear-powered ships and submarines don't detonate nukes to push themselves forward.

It used to be just Ads and Reddit Gold. Now it's mostly investment funding from China (via Tenecent) and the Middle East.
Ads and reddit coins afaik.

Coins can be used to buy either their premium subscription (no ads and a few other things) or can be used to "award" posts/comments. You can select which award you want to give, there are multiple that are by reddit and there are awards that are subreddit specific. An award can also give the awardee some coins (e.g. you pay 200 coins and the awardee gets 100).
That example is typical "confused deputy" security vuln irrespective of the language, not a "validate input" one. Meaning, the typical unix interface to the filesystem is such that it's hard/impossible to express "i'm only having access to this folder and interested in paths within that folder". `chroot` is too dramatic sandboxing that cannot be used for all use cases.

BTW, in macOS there are "secure bookmarks" (see NSURL docs) that are effectively capability tokens: when user drags a file, or selects it in an Open File dialog (which runs isolated from the app), the kernel creates an app-specific token that grants access to that file to the app, so it can access it beyond its sandbox.

I game very little, mostly because I don't wanna spend more of my free time in front of screens (since my work and several of my hobbies involve screens). But in the last year or so I've picked up some casual relaxing games.

Starting out, I remembered the situation of 15 years ago, fighting with Wine etc. I just assumed that I was lucky and all the Steam games I picked up recently had native Linux versions. Little did I know that several of them were running through Proton, and the experience was so perfect and seamless that I didn't even notice. Impressive!
Diving into DevSecOps with John Willis via Dev Interrupted
The original series was a bit fuzzy on just what role the matter-antimatter engines (and dilithium crystals) played in making warp drive possible. From the Next Generation era onward, the idea was basically that a matter-antimatter engine was the only practical way to generate the enormous power required to generate the warp field needed to go FTL via warp drive.
Reddit is no longer a place of free expression and community. The censorship and negative echo chambers there are out of control. Its only going to get worse. R/wsb do your magic here..
> everyone talks about the car that runs into a truck or fire-engine.

Not to mention that plenty of non-self driving cars run into stationary vehicles on both motorways and ordinary roads.

A fireman I spoke to says it happens all the time and that the fire engine is parked upstream of the incident that they are dealing with so that errant vehicles run into it rather than the fire crew.

It is a matter of lively debate in the UK right now with regard to 'Smart Motorways' which have no hard shoulder, several people have been killed in collisions with stationary vehicles.

In fact even on motorways with hard shoulders a number of people have died because they stopped on the hard shoulder because of a breakdown and another vehicle strayed onto the hard shoulder and rear ended them at 70 mph.
Well, then you need to go to hypospace.
Floats have a totally different algebra than the reals, though.
> Also, the post states that you can't have nested "tail-call optimized" loops in clojure, which is only partially correct: Using nested loops is commonly done in Clojure, the only thing you can't do is have the loops call each other mutually-recursively, which is a far less common use case (but still a feature I hope to see in Clojure some day).

I guess you are referring to recur (https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/recur), and I also think that it's a quite cheap way to get ~90% of the benefit of TCO without actually implementing TCO. It's also more explicit than TCO which is a plus over TCO.

For mutual recursions there is always trampoline (https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/trampoline), FWIW.
