I'd say no. But then when I think "philosophy", I think of a specific intellectual discipline, one that embraces two distinct modes of thought and exploration. But first, some history.

Once upon a time, the 3 pillars of philosophy were metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology. Starting with Kant and ending sometime in the late 19th or early 20th C, with the work of philosopher-mathematicians, if you will (Godel, Russell, etc.), metaphysics went by the wayside. While philosophy was once about exploring how the world might be and what might be beyond the material, prudent philosophers realized that science was now the realm of knowing the world and anything based not on science was basically religion, and not subject to knowability, sharability, falsifiability, etc.

Ethics was next: Lacking metaphysics, lacking a baseline of truth, what was the point in postulating ethics? It does sneak back in, though, more in a moment.

That leaves epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge and knowability.

Modern philosophers of science work rigorously with mathematicians and physicists, among others, to explore epistemological questions, especially those that arise from Godel's incomplete theorem, from various interpretations of quantum mechanics, and from computational complexity.

That's the first of modern philosophy's two areas of expertise: Embracing what is happening in other fields and exploring what those fields have to say about what we can usefully say about what is and is not knowable.

The second area is taking well founded ideas and exploring them fully. My favourite example is Dennett's "Darwin's Dangerous Idea", which takes the basic notion of reproduction with variation to its logical and sometimes illogical extremes.

What about people who style themselves or are styled as philosophers and who write about art or sociology or religion? And explore those things in ways similar to what I describe above?

If they are doing philosophy, it is pre-20thC, maybe even pre-19thC philosophy, but I see it as critique, essayism, but not as philosophy, not in the modern sense. Occasionally, you'll encounter someone who writes with the same clarity and discipline as those modern philosophers who continue to work the hard problem (epistemology), but those writers are rare.

One of the last great ethics writers was one such: Mackey's Ethics explored the question of how to be ethical, what that meant, taken to its intellectual and living extreme, but he did not explore of the question of why: One's reason for being ethical is personal, metaphysical, subjective. Mackey provides tools and techniques for acting on a decision to live ethically, for exploring that decision.

(You could say that I fall in the old "analytic" camp, and I'd accept that. The "synthetic" camp, IMHO, was mostly emptied in the early 20th C and is now populated with people in love with their own words, with opacity and obscurity, and who have yet to admit that they really wish their science fiction and fantasy writing was taken more seriously or more popularly, or both.)
Real life application for this exercise (I use a python version from time to time):

Count the frequency of words in a book, then get the most frequent words you don't know in Anki, so you can learn the words that will help you understand more of the text.

This is of course taken from the Fluent Forever book.

Yup, I think you got it (especially how comments are an afterthought, and cost/benefit is therefore completely different).
This resonates with me, more than I'd like.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my life, and the more I know about technology, the more apprehensive I am about working with it. However, I do also believe that those of us who feel this way have something of a responsibility to fight back a little, in whatever way we can.

Hopefully we can continue to keep a little space cleared of the FAANG's, and open for L/OSS. Or at least a neutral ground, where we can be reasonably sure that there isn't any nonsense going on.

>However, if you run a business that is making (according to the article) "hundreds of millions" selling handsets and subscriptions, why would you need to be involved in other very obviously illicit business?

This wasn't always a huge business. I'm sure they became more careful after the incident with phantom secure.

>I think it's more likely that this guy is really a "freedom and privacy at all costs" guy who probably knows what his product is being used for, and doesn't care because for him that comes with the territory, and also because he's raking in the money.

Full disclosure: I work in this space, SkyECC was a competitor and I'm deeply familiar with their product.

This guy is an opportunist and a liar promoting a very insecure product, constantly making false promises of security. He's made his money by exploiting the technical ineptitude of drug dealers.

A "freedom and privacy at all costs" guy he is not.

>If you're smart enough to able to set up a service like SkyECC in the first place, you're smart enough to know that one day the cops/feds/govt are going to take a shot at you, so you'd have some kind of plan in place for that I would think.

You're clearly not very familiar with this space. It's rife with absolutely terrible products built by drug dealers who just hired a couple of developers from freelancer.com.

SkyECCs sole focus was providing a polished user experience, not security.

These clowns had their corporate active directory server (adsql.skyecc.com) exposed to the internet with RDP, SMB, LDAP all publicly accessible until it was seized a few days ago. They did nothing to harden their infrastructure after the Encrochat hack. I assure you they weren't prepared for the cops to come knocking.

> so that I can justify purchasing Gunpla to my family

I don't think you need cultural significance as a supporting argument: the better Gunpla kits are good toys, with more accessories and better poseability than most dolls, a fun introduction to model kits, and a nice presence to stand guard on a shelf.
Because you want the best of both worlds: The profile of a small boat, and the carrying capacity of something much larger. Hence, large boat that mimicks a small ordinary boat by many measures.

I'm also sure the increase in ordinary boats (which you'd need for carrying capacity) would be noticed.

It's wild to see electromigration and temperature-driven aging come back as a concern at today's dense process nodes. Pecht's landmark work in the early nineties mostly debunked the old handbook models that were based on those causes of failure. Most electronics will still fail due to overstress or mechanical fatigue from vibration or temperature cycling, of course, but it's really interesting to see these concerns return.

Interestingly, at my company it's based on skill level - everyone works the ~40hr work week, however skill tiers 1-2 are hourly employees and skill tiers 3+ are salaried. On average, the company encourages a healthy work/life balance and > 40 is not normal even for salaried, so it's really specific to how the company staffs their needs.

piet-gpu contributor here. You're right that supersampling is the easiest way to achieve AA. However, its scalability issues are immense: for 2D rendering it's typically recommended to use 32x for a decent quality AA, but as the cost of supersampling scales linearly (actually superlinearly due to memory/register pressure), it becomes more than a magnitude slower than the baseline. So if you want to do anything that is real-time (e.g. smooth page zoom without resorting to prerendered textures which becomes blurry), supersampling is mostly an unacceptable choice.

What is more practical is some form of adaptive supersampling: a lot of pixels are filled by only one path and don't require supersampling. There's also some more heuristics that can be used: one that I want to try out in piet-gpu is to exploit the fact that in 2D graphics, most pixels are only covered by at most two paths. So as a base line we can track only two values per pixel plus a coverage mask, then in rare occasions of three or more shapes overlapping, fall back to full supersampling. This should keep the cost amplification more under control.
Your examples are all based in times of local news sources not large global news sources. In the times before the internet all communication was local, and all pushback was local too. It may have looked one way, but counterpoints were made locally. Almost all cities had multiple newspapers that had slightly different takes on events.

Now in the age of global news and the internet, counterpoints need to be made in the same medium.
I read it as 100 trillion. 100TB would be the 'right' suffix for terabytes IMHO.
> Right, but the people who go into programming tend to fall for the Apex Fallacy.

No, most of them don't, because most of them aren't themselves working at the apex.

The people working at the apex fall for the Apex Fallacy, including the ones that think they don't but think that the whole field tends to.
They were the enemy of some people’s ancestors a century ago. They are not ennemies of anyone now. They are only victims of a terrible war, exactly in the same ways as the people they were fighting then.

One branch of my family was decimated back then: 4 cousins died in WWI, all the males of that generation. The only thing I wish to their enemies is to rest in peace and keep them in our memory to avoid such a senseless massacre in the future. If this finding brings some comfort to some people because they found a family member, then it’s great. The tunnel should be a museum, and a warning of the horrors brought by nationalism.

Loss at sea is difficult, because locations are often uncertain and documentation is sparse. I know I learnt a lot looking for traces of these people in archives and on the ground (obviously harder for sunken ships). I hope you’ll find out what happened eventually.
That is the most messed up reasoning I have ever heard. "We will remove this feature because we didn't promote it well."

It might be a crazy idea, but maybe we could add telemetry and see if people actually use it despite it being hard to discover.
Why isn't this the default? Or does it mean you have to use another option when de-7zipping in order to reverse them back?
Too concise. This wouldn't be helpful for making a choice; or will mislead. Right off the top, it's not necessary to write REST endpoints for each use case. Many REST apis have filtering and joining, just like gql.

Edit: claiming gql solves over/underfetch without mentioning that you're usually still responsible for implementing it (and it can be complex) in resolvers is borderline dishonest.

x86 also has a kind of specialized (or limited, if you like) fused add and multiply instruction that is used a lot: lea, or load effective address. It's really a fused shift and add, or two fused additions if you prefer. The extent to which this instruction appears in real compiled code should stand as proof for how useful a fused instruction is.
I'd call it completely lacking, not concise. E.g. its already conflating transport & serialization. But HN loves a good serializer debate so this will be an active thread.

> By not being tired on the fifth, not taking wrong orders and not dropping glasses

This is not an actual problem that needs a solution.
At the same time, the S3 api is so ubiquitous that there implementations for it in multiple clouds, it frequently comes with hardware storage vendors as well, and there are projects like minio that provide a solution to host your own s3 compatible data architecture.

All things considered, I’m much more concerned about the centralization of eg browser technologies than this.
I do get a wry grin from the trie not being faster. Feels like that is always a data structure that feels like it will speed things up, but really needs very specific settings to do so.

No, it doesn't. Not more than it reads terameters or teragrams. SI prefixes were not invented specifically for computer memory.

> Twitter has a near monopoly on their type of service

Twitter has a user base of approximately 1.5% of the world's population. It's not an essential communications tool by any stretch of the imagination. There are multiple other services, most of which gain little to no traction because it appears that to most humans, twitter-style communication is entirely uninteresting. I count myself in that (large) number.

> similar to ATT or Comcast

Except those companies appear to have literal monopolies on internet access in places in the US, which is not the same situation at all. Not being in the US I find that situation bizarre.

> Can the registrars regulate who can register a name?

Probably. Certainly the various authorities are empowered to do so.

> Why?

That's a far more interesting question, and certainly up for debate. Should some level of communications access be a right? If it is, who pays for it? Who runs it? Does anyone or any government get to decide what's acceptable behaviour on such a system? Why? But equally, why not? I'm entirely open to that discussion, it's probably a discussion that needs to be publicly had in western societies, at some point.

But "It's my right to exercise my speech on twitter!" reeks of entitlement and is not supported by any existing concept of speech rights. It also reeks of conflating twitter, a large but still niche service, with communication in general. Twitter just isn't as important as people like to make out.
It seems to me that if it is possible to "wiretap the server" it was not really E2E encrypted. I don't know, maybe some messages were, some weren't. Certain users, certain types of messages, certain platforms.
Not only that, but you wouldn't be sacrificing anything. The noctua coolers have consistently been a top scorer for both performance and noise for years. Plus, they recently have started making black fans if you aren't a fan of the brown.
The Practice of Teleportation
What's the practice of teleportation? Well, it's been a serious subject of discussion of late. Teleportation is nothing but the transportation of someone or something to a different location without having to traverse the physical space in between. It's actually one of the practices used by highly evolved entities and the practice involves high level of spiritual and technological skills... https://bit.ly/2O3Qoaf

The region is covered in such ruins, and there’s only so much funding and manpower available. And people get grumpy when you want to protect something on their land (thinks not be a problem here though, AFAIK it is in common land). I am not surprised it is a difficult problem.

And yeah, it’s incredibly dangerous to go dig these places. There are literally tons of shells there, some of them still waiting to detonate.

He was doing this to force the authorities hand, to convince them to dig up the tunnel - which is considered a war grave that should not be disturbed.

He did not secure any authorization as that would never have been given to a private person. Archeological team, maybe.

>No, the answer is "Anyone infringes on those rights."

Nope a small American firm can infringe those rights and face zero consequences. A US Multinational with operations in Europe can't.

Greenwald isn't wrong here (you and I may disagree about that), but I do agree that his current direction isn't very productive. His current output is too ranty, too editorial, too self-indulgent. Most of his articles could be half the length. If anything, his current writing is evidence that he really does need an editor.

Greenwald has made his point. Now he should buckle down and start producing real journalism. Dig out new facts. Write tight prose. Do good work. Can he do that? You know the saying: "The best revenge is to live well"? Here his strongest evidence of the decay of journalism, and his best revenge, would be to demonstrate superior work. Show them all up.

I fear he's not able to do that. A lone blogger on Substack may not have the resources to do anything but write opinion.

That's a problem with the word "journalist". It can just mean "talking head". We have enough of those. What we need are reporters.
One thing that people seem to gloss over when comparing these is that you also need to compare the serialization. gRPC using protobuf means you get actual typed data, whereas typing in JSON (used by the other two) is a mess (usually worked around by jamming anything ambiguous-in-javascript like floats, dates, times, et c into strings).

If you're using typed languages on either the client or the server, having a serialization system that preserves those types is a very nice thing indeed.
Trying VmWare, VirtualBoxVM, none work.
Finally pay and run UTM. Most not working but at least the minimum Debian work. All the commands under https://azeria-labs.com/arm-on-x86-qemu-user/ and also this works. You need some basic gcc commands and gdb commands, plus modification of the source so to have a driving main:

```
#include <cstdint>

struct Vec2 {
int64_t x;
int64_t y;
};

int64_t normSquared(Vec2 v) {
return v.x * v.x + v.y * v.y;
}

int main() {
Vec2 v;
v.x = 42;
v.y = 10;

int64_t x=0;
x = normSquared(v);
return 0;
}

// gcc vector.cpp -o vector -Wa,-adhln=vectorO0.s -g -march=native

Not really, even at my work we have (well, had) regular swap-meets for supermarket discount trackers. So one week I would shop as badge #1, the next week I would be badge #2. Just knowing the identity of the person who was issued the account doesn't give you any information about who's using it now.

In aggregate, you would still be able to identify which group of people used which endpoints, but aggregate information won't hold up in court.

Yes, geolocation would solve that, but I would expect such people to absolutely disable the GPS, so you'd need to rely on cell tower pings, which are not found on the same servers.
