I joined the team when accessibility had been an existing requirement for over a year. There was one team member who was very passionate about it and kept things up to a high standard. So thankfully I didn't jump into a mountain of work. It took me a few weeks before I felt I could do things without looking up commands every few minutes. Maybe a few months in I could navigate most of our apps without thinking.
Autism is very different for everyone who has it. No one is saying that autistic people are assholes, but that stallman may not see or understand how his comments are taken or why people will get upset when the comment is factually correct.
Current auto generators cannot yet deal with such esoteric content. So it must be real ;-)
That doesn’t solve the “dump the non-carbon back into the soil” part. Presumably repeated clear cutting would strip the top soil of nutrients in a few generations of trees. At that point, you need to reintroduce those nutrients (especially nitrogen) somehow.
Right, the context was earlier (2006).

I don't know all of the accumulated missteps he did, so of course I will refrain from concluding. At least, the one about the over-generalization seems legit (with the example of a willing 17 yo).
> They may share an actor but the state of the actor belongs to the actor. To say they share it implies they can always change it independently but that's not the case. Actors don't trample on each other's internal states. For example a simple mutex semaphore pattern fixes your race condition.

The actor's state is shared in the sense that both processes can change it in ways that are visible to each other. The actor can control access to it, but unless the actor never changes state in response to messages (in which case why bother with actors at all?) there's still something that changes. Constrained state is still state.
This is fundamentally incorrect.

Vaccinated people have a lower viral load, thus are less contagious, thus lower the R1.

If the r1 is below 1, then you eventually get to herd immunity. The more vaccinated people there are, the less dangerous the disease is, and the less contagious it becomes.

Herd immunity is not binary: it's a gradient, and if you are on the right side, things get better.

> The apparent slight prompted Musk — one of numerous Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with whom the governor has a long-standing relationship — to lash out at the media and implore Newsom in a tweet to “please fix this misunderstanding.” Musk shared screenshots that appeared to show a hospital executive and a Los Angeles County health department official confirming they’d received medical equipment.

> When asked Thursday about the discrepancy, Newsom said he had not yet seen the information Musk shared on Twitter.

> “I was not personally aware of that list,” Newsom said, adding that “I look forward to learning more about where they went and I’m grateful for his support.”

> Later Thursday, Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Director Christina Ghaly said in an emailed statement that Tesla had provided 100 bilevel positive airway pressure units in March — devices that can reduce “the need for certain patients to be placed on mechanical ventilation,” Ghaly said. The company also provided 200 gallons of hand sanitizer and 860 face shields.
The fallout of all of this will take years to unravel, and it all likely points to overkill. Was it justified given uncertainty (i.e. prepare for the p90 or p95 outcome)? Possibly. But what I saw from the leadership class the last year was a complete disregard for the concerns of the little people and their livelihoods. Once things got politicized re: Trump, the most polarizing american political figure of my lifetime, it became even worse in multiple directions.

Very few people come out looking good in this, except the scientists and regulators who pushed the vaccine forward.
There's a sci-fi novel I read recently that puts criminals on islands that are inaccessible by any means other than air. The worst sentences are sent there for life in exile, to fend for themselves.

Keep in mind that the GP's link shows a ratio of more than 1% for people older than 60 years. The 0.26% average is certainly not the same everywhere.

"The total number of COVID-19 outbreaks statewide rose this week by 9% over last week to 645. The biggest proportion of outbreaks are tied to the K-12 school setting, Lyon-Callo said.

Children ages 10-19 now have the highest COVID-19 case rate in Michigan, a rate that "is increasing faster than that of other age groups" she said. School-related outbreaks, she explained, aren't all tied to the classroom setting. Many are linked to sports and other gatherings among students."

> You can program a completely deterministic parallel system using a simple fork-join model, can't you? No physical or timing factors interfere with that, can they?

How simple is "simple" What happens if process 1 crashes? What if it suffers a network disconnection and looks like it crashes, but then tries to reconnect later? What is the correct logic for completing the combined task?
OK you know what? I reread this and the timeline, and you're right. This seemed to be pretty limited in providing activation energy for the crimes.

There's some irony in getting caught with real insider info, when most of the complaint seems to center around this person lying and making up insider info.
> The commented pedophilia was the allegated one of Marvin Minsky with a 17 yo girl,

No, it was a comment in response to a group of Dutch pedophiles forming a political party with the stated goal of first reducing the age of consent for sex to 12, and eventually eliminating it altogether.

What Minsky was accused of is sex with someone post-pubescent but below the age of consent, which isn't an act indicative of pedophilia, so defending pedophilia to defend Minsky would be gratuitous in the same way that defending allowing the Voting Rights Act to expire by saying the practice of slavery in the US wasn't actually harmful to those enslaved would be.
In some countries Education is a human right and universities are free.

Unless you are going to outproduce China and Vietnam, or are sitting on top of natural resources, the only path is through very skilled population working in high-skill industries.

Its fine if to occasionally pay for some random irrelevant degree, because the cost of uneducated and unproductive population is much higher.

Would this help? My understanding is that the copy was so that the new object exists in the heap of the receiving process, and therefore the GC can have a strong guarantee that all objects within a process belong to the GC for that process.

Whether moving an object between two GC’d heaps is even possible (let alone simple or complicated) surely depends a lot on the GC implementation. The implementation of concurrent GCs is not easy...

The main problem I see is that the overall SOLID principles while still correct, the original definitions used are too outdated and heavily imply inheritance everywhere.

Single Responsibility, honestly I like 'separation of concerns' much more. People tend to think single responsibility means use tiny classes and single line functions.
Open closed principle stating "should be open for extension, but closed for modification" infers to many it's about inheritance only.
Open for customizability would be much better.
Liskov Substitutions seems like its talking about inheritance when it really also applies to interface usage in general.
Dependency Inversion principle is interpreted by many to be use dependency injection everywhere etc...

I wish someone would go and update these definitions for the modern world.

Isn't this because of how true end to end encryption works and Signal treating each user devices as an independent device and not "syncing"?

That's less of a "FH can't be human-rated" and more of a "there's not point in human-rating FH right now".

FH is heavily derived from the human-rated F9, but what capsule would fly on FH? Crew Dragon flies fine on F9, and NASA isn't looking to fly Orion on FH. If the latter part changed I'm sure SpaceX would undertake the human rating.
I mean, what the hell is with all this 60-90 hours per week stuff going on? Am I an incredibly defective human being or something - I cannot even fathom working anything even CLOSE to that (in software/tech, maybe if you're in med school or work an an ER I can see it). There is no way in hell I could ever even be close to productive for that period of time for more than, say, one week a year or something (and even then I'd need weeks to recover). I'd guess I'd ask everyone, "Really?". When you work those kind of hours, are you _actually_ doing value-adding or value-optimizing things, or just engaging in work theater?

I've found the most incredible thing is just to say "no" to things. Not doing things has this fantastic side effect of not causing more work. When you don't do more things, you don't cause more problems, which doesn't need more work, which doesn't need more staff, which doesn't require more money, which gives you less stress, and gives you happier staff, happier customers, and a happier self.

I wonder if I've totally lost my marbles if this kind of thing only makes sense to myself...

Huh? I’m from SoCal and almost everyone wears masks here all the time, all shops require masks on entrances, so I’m not sure where this narrative comes from?
While this is technically "shared state" (in the same way that a "database", or "the console/log output" is "shared state"), it's not a problem in the classical data race sense. And because you're forced to think about it in an explicit fashion, it's generally not a problem for the working programmer in the BEAM vm.

Also note that erlang is not a pure actor system. It is relatively hard to accidentally write a deadlock in erlang with OTP. In about 3 years of programming elixir I've only written a deadlock three or four times (and caught them all in tests). Even so if I had pushed it to prod, it would have timed out certain operations that would have triggered dynamic restart of the relevant processes.

>This is precisely what people with autism tend to be
Stallman already wrote years ago why "open source" was a bad name. From https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.... :

The official definition of “open source software” [..] agrees with our definition in most cases.
However, the obvious meaning for the expression “open source software”—and the one most people seem to think it means—is “You can look at the source code.” That criterion is much weaker than the free software definition, much weaker also than the official definition of open source.
[..]
Since the obvious meaning for “open source” is not the meaning that its advocates intend, the result is that most people misunderstand the term.
It would be extremely interesting to see what sort of conditioning or other source of behavioral differentiation (??) causes these people to simply not stumble on the overwhelming mountains of similar sentiment on the internet.
Did anyone manage to successfully run inference in the provided Google Colab (https://colab.research.google.com/github/EleutherAI/GPTNeo/b...)? I can run training, but can't manage to make the inference (even from a pre-trained model) work.
I would recommend looking into the less pleasant facts about others you consider philosophically brilliant, especially those further removed from us in time, before you denounce Richard Stallman as irredeemable to history.
Only now I had noticed, in the Gaussian system, the unit for capacitance is centimeters.
I sure did! Those CPAP ventilators were the wrong type, so Tesla had to turn around and send 100 ventilators made by someone else. That's the point, right? Tesla thought they could make ventilators. They couldn't. So they just got someone else's ventilators. It proves the point. Tech CEOs, even as fabulous as ya boy Elon can't just hubris their way into medical devices.

From the article linked above:

"According to The Week, after CEO Elon Musk tweeted March 31st that he had “extra FDA-approved ventilators” ready to ship out, Tesla didn’t ship out actual ventilators, it sent machines more closely related to C-PAP devices called BiPAP or B-PAP machines, made by ResMed. C-PAP and Bi-PAP devices are indeed used in hospitals for medical breathing issues, as well as in homes for ailments such as sleep apnea. They use a mask that covers the users entire face or just the nose and mouth, but they are not effective for the critical symptoms of COVID-19, which requires ventilators that include intubation, or the insertion of tubes into the lungs of the patient."
Ironically, America basically shows how the 1% can maintain control of the global hegemony for decades without any effective resistance. The fact that this system of oppression is fractally recursive adds to the irony.

Richard says he's not autistic. People who try to conflate his bad behaviour and autism are excusing his behaviour and unfairly generalising about autistic people.

Richard is argumentative about his bad behaviour. He's not oblivious. Plenty of people have spoken to him about it. You'd think he might take a hint after being removed from his own organisation and all the surrounding commentary. He doesn't care.

(Separately, "techrights" is run by an obsessive troll who harasses people in the FLOSS community.)

> Why we can't build chip factories in the west ?

We have tons of them. TSMC is just extremely prominent right now because Intel stumbled on their 10nm upgrade and is stuck a generation behind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_manufacturing_si...

Intel foundries are also less prominent because they don't sell capacity to others... AMD, Apple, Samsung, etc., would never have their processors created at an Intel fab. TSMC is neutral.

GlobalFoundries (formerly AMD) balked at the expense of getting 7nm fabrication going only to have to compete (on price) with TSMC and decided to stay at 12 nm (and larger) for a couple years. But sooner or later they will have to move forward, and perhaps find themselves ahead of TSMC for a while.

The mathematics of Shor's algorithm have been known for decades. The challenge is in building the hardware, not in the math.

Ventilators were discovered to be generally not helpful in treating severe COVID cases, and once that practice ended so did the demand for new ventilators.

Nobody really got a chance to put any new ventilators to the test.

As wary as I am of the situation, we never really saw anyone given a chance to see what those ventilator inventors would have been able to do.
I think he also specifically defended Minsky, IIRC, onn the grounds that it wasn't clear Minsky had any reason to suspect that it wasn't voluntary and that, given that, did nothing morally wrong (if you think sex with prepubescent children can be voluntary and if so not harmful, obviously it's unsurprising to think the same thing for post-pubescent near-adults); his defense of Minsky is still controversial (people don't generally think that the age of consent is a bad idea, especially when there is a also a wide gulf in ages between parties), but not as extreme as his separate defense of pedophilic sex generally.

As even the current NASA Administrator said:

> If we can't do a rocket for $11.5 billion, we ought to close up shop.

It took 2x as long (and counting) and 2x as expensive.

NASA own evaluation made it totally clear that SLS as designed was a terrible design:

RAC1 is the current SLS (basically) and RAC 2 was basically modern Saturn V.

I remember in 2016 people saying 'we can't cancel it, its almost ready' but the only thing that makes sense, if you do any sort of analysis, even the most optimistic (that will 100% not happen) its a terrible project that is gone hold NASA back for years.

At that point that's just energy spent on acquiring money though.
One of the best reads of the day. "Consumption Is Sometimes Valuable, But Creation Moves You Forward" gave me goosebumps.
"Free" is also ambiguous in English, even more than "open". I suppose "libre" is explicit but also not an actual common word.

"Open" is clear, widely accepted by the community including businesses, and is defended by the Open Source Initiative (think of them what you will, they do a good job of keeping that definition true, by doing things such as approving licenses).

"Open" has also been extended to other areas, such as "open science" (which does not refer to science for which a paper is available, but to actual reusable science).

I don't see any problem with "open", other than the fact RMS doesn't like it.
It's very good advice, but you should understand that not all good advice applies to everyone or in every situation.

Maybe flipping the criteria used for evaluating investments. Instead of having founders give pitches and get evaluated on their confidence and charisma (and made-up numbers), find the most unassuming, drab, dull, but brilliant geniuses and convince them to take a lot of money in exchange for building what they would build anyway? Less Jobs, more Woz.

'open' and 'source' are also just two words of the English language which have an implied meaning when put together. I do not think any initiative can ban the normal meaning of language. It is like saying the 'real beef initiative' declares the meaning of the word 'real beef' to only apply to kobe beef.

Also how would you actually call software where the source is open but does not fulfill the osi criteria?
Good perspective but I would like to hear the response from the developers before concluding too much.

This is not meant as a goad to you, but more just as more info for everyone, my understanding is it is an open source community of like minded people type project (as opposed to a bigco) and actively solicits contributions (by which I mean code and data) so anyone seeing room for improvement is welcome to step in from what I can tell.

I did find your comment helpful and informative; just adding another angle here.
Same here. I managed to make it "work" in the sense that it wouldn't crash during inference, but then it generated gibberish. Has anyone managed to make it work reliably?
