Step 1: find your obsession. Recently, it's been the concept of harmony in philosophy.

Step 2: download original source books on LibGen. E.g., complete works of Kant.

Step 3: keyword search to find relevant passages.

I read so many books now. Let's go ride bikes!
Yes, not only is naive utility-maxing preposterous, it can also launder questionable ethical decisions: "for the greater good", etc. Unexamined consequentialism breeds infinite self-justification, imo

As far as I can tell claims to objectivity in ethics tend to translate to "I'm happy to theorize situation X so long as X never happens to me." In the last century this attitude begot a professional class of social engineers working in tandem with state security apparati to optimize for... what exactly?

I do not know where they found the information to conclude there are no math based guarantees.

The initial version of Monero had a flaw but if you start transacting now I do not believe anyone can deanonymize wallet ids or amounts.

Even if there's a 51% takeover, those guys would just be able to mint new coins, they still wouldn't be able to see the amounts and wallet ids.

Also, confidential transactions and optimizations (bulletproofs) are math proven.

Zcash and Dash with their optional privacy just leave everyone vulnerable to deanonymization.
So, is it testing home internet speeds, or really how good your wifi AP works?
Good question. I am also interested if anybody know of a CI/CD service that doesn’t require bundling a browser as a dev dependency. My application requires testing in a browser.

Even better is figuring out how to do CI/CD for a peer-to-peer application. I have been running instances of the app in virtual machines on my personal devices to perform test automation of request/response across a virtual network.
The logical solution is to fund space travel. The Earth is small, while Space is essentially infinite. Having a universe, or even solar system, full of human beings seems preferable to artificially limiting their population in order to fit Earth’s constraints.

I also personally think such a “positive” attitude toward human life is probably necessary in order to avoid civilizational nihilism. This is the fundamental challenge of the modern era.
Oh this is a dream side income job. Thanks!
On iTerm2 my windows are full-screen, black background, zero border or window decorations. I cycle between windows with cmd-` it switches instantly from one full-screen terminal to the next. It's what to me a console should be.

Every terminal app I've tried on Windows or Linux insists on having a goddamn window border. I don't want even a single pixel of border.

And yes, this is enough to make me a die-hard iTerm2 user.

They are literally saying make your own IP and here is money to do it in your own company that they just passively invest in with no relation to Nintendo as a parent company.

They're saying grow the fuck up, and acknowledging that since that’s so hard for an entire generation they’ve inspired, they are trying to inspire these adult-children again with venture capital to create new things.

That’s the opposite of hypocrisy. Pursuing their own property rights to keep their property valuable? Sell them some shares and they’ll make sure you have that expectation with your IP too.
If there is human/human interaction and mediation and negotiation over hundreds of thousands of dollars there is always going to be a human in the middle. Always.
Don't they charge for replacing it?
What is the reason it cannot be 'supported' anyway? It clearly was possible. BTRFS has been mainlined for nearly as long as EXT4, and incurs no particular overheads compared to EXT4.
No, Intel's cores are still core-for-core beating AMDs as far as I'm aware, likewise for the new server ARM chips (Apple is not hugely relevant, their market share is price capped). That's design.

The actual chips are slower because they don't have nearly as many cores, so for workloads that can be highly parallelized they're behind. But that's process.
A genocide with equal representation of all types of people is just as reprehensible as the other option.

So if you're contemplating bumping off 50% of the population, because of reason 'x' -- but, not because of some '..ist' or '..phobe' reasons, you're still as big as a scum as that guy with the funny mustache and stupid ideas.

Also if Thanos had paid more attention in Graph theory class, he might have been able to do a better job of minimizing grief than just randomly killing half the vertices. He probably could have found sub graphs that were not very connected to other parts and eliminated them completely.

> Why do you need a Web GUI or even a NAS OS?

Who said anything about Web GUIs? I can't make sense of the rest of your comment. What does that have to do with my original question?
Modern genome association studies rarely look for single allele effects anymre. The current views shift towards polygenic or sometimes even omnigenic (meaming majority of genes can have indirect effects on the phenotype of disease) associations. No one expects to see big effect sizes because very few people will have differences in any one particular loci. So under these models simple effect sizes are less important than p-values.
Is it? They explicitly did never support the fileysystem on the mentioned device and it was only possible because of a bug in their implementation.

I don‘t want to be on any side. But is it wrong to fix a bug?
Flatpaks aren't docker containers, though. They should be safer. The most glaring hole in most flatpak is X11 access.

There have been some flatpak CVEs in the past, but I wonder what your claim of them not being secure is based on, other than general principles: yes, there could be a bug in the sandbox, but besides that?
What about Safari?

Yep, switched to neo2 last June or so after thinking about it for a couple of years. Beginning was tough (relearning Emacs shortcuts, ouch), but now I type faster than on qwerty (~90-100 wpm, still improving though).

It is so great for programming! Also although I'm German, probably 90% of what I type is English. Works perfectly for English as well.

Also being able to type Greek letters is great as a physicist, hehe.

5 years sounds low, as discussed there. Even starting with a physics degree background and this being my passion, I am giving myself 10 years to reach top standard in the sense of truly mastering every area.

I suspect the 5 years as a general reference timeframe refers to full-time students who study to be computationally competent and pass exams well, but lack deep understanding of the subject area, let alone ability to solve truly difficult or novel problems.

For someone with strong high school background following the standard academic path without any delay, it would take at least 3(bsc)+1-2(msc)+3(phd)+??(postdoc) years to become a truly independent theoretical physicist.
> is very obviously made from a point of bias

Why do you believe that? It seems to me that the reputational damage caused by the U of C centre putting out bad slides is going to be stronger than any benefit they might get from being "seen to be a team player" or similar. Skepticism is always good but in this particular case, I do trust that evidence.

> there are a number of really nasty adverse reactions that don't throw you in the ICU

OK, but you can make the same argument for COVID. It seems to me that the slides are at least comparing apples with apples.
Is there a Ubuntu image that supports SL4?

(Microsoft has still not yet released one for SL3, to the best of my knowledge.)
I have no issue with companies shutting down content that could be seen as harming their image. But the vast majority of fan content is complimentary. For example, do you think a Twitch stream of a retro game is somehow harming or misrepresenting Nintendo's brand?
Can't there be a concept of negative happiness?
would you prefer to live in a world where you had a 100% chance to be as happy as possible or a 51% chance to be as happy possible or a 49% chance to be not quite unhappy enough to commit suicide. I know where I stand and think that the "not worse" step presented in the video is a leap of logic taken without any justification.

As an adult at the time I made a game with AMOS (Mouse Impossible) and it was published free as a magazine cover disk. I was prouder of that than anything I did at work!
I had a brief friendly / neighbourly exchange of comments with (at 4 sigmas of certainty) a well-known sci-fi author a few months back, not long after reading two of their novels set not far from where I live. I’m not prone to celebrity worship, but that was a treat. It’s also a reminder that we (with the benevolent and not heavy-handed guidance of the mods) have created a relatively functional society here, which is all too rare in the world.
Exploding paint capsules cause no collateral damage to the innocent.

AML/KYC causes massive collateral expense and frustration to small businesses. This vastly eclipses the crimes it is claims to help thwart.

Employee refuses to download app that monitors location, says it got her fired
How does going after Twitch streamers playing retro games fall into any of what you've said? Because Nintendo have targeted them.

How does YouTube reviewers fall into that category? Because Nintendo have targeted them too.

You don't realise just how far reaching Nintendo's lawyers are and thus just assume it's the usual case of "They're stealing from us!" (to quote Pirates of Silicon Valley).
> The logical solution is to fund space travel.

Why? We have the technology and resources now to house, clothe and feed most the world's population. The main reason we do not is we choose "deserving" and "undeserving" populations and individuals.

As our technology improves further and the global population begins to decline this will become even more evident. Space exploration is great. But suffering is a choice we collectively make every day.
Most terminal emulators are missing support for splits; moving from iTerm2 was painful for me. Been using terminator and kitty, but I still miss iTerm2 5 years later.
One thing I learned tutoring fellow students in math while in high school / college was that trying to do hard unfamiliar things (or just something they didn’t choose to do) makes plenty of people who do not have ADHD feel overwhelmed/fearful/anxious/tired, especially when they are put on the spot. Some people have a “play dead” kind of response to stress, while others get angry and start fighting.

It’s not clear to what extent these board game / reading issues are related to ADHD per se. Plenty of people with ADHD are excellent at learning/playing board games and are fast fluent readers with careful attention to detail and excellent retention of what they read.
>It works the opposite way as well, when Comcast was blackmailing Netflix you'd get terrible bandwidth, unless you used a VPN to hide your traffic.

This bit here is the real smoking gun. Without it, the fact that you got worse bandwidth test results when using a VPN is wholly unconvincing—who's to say that it wasn't due to your VPN's own limitations?
The main problems with Java aren't being JITted, it's that it's not expressive enough. It doesn't have SIMD (yet) or value types (yet…?).

I would expect a JIT to not really be able to find a lot of magic optimization opportunities, though maybe there are some, and it'd actually be annoying if it could. The most important thing in a tool like that is predictability, because you can't make development decisions based on magic.
> If I were a major, anticompetitive ISP, the minute I found out about this tool, I would figure out how to fingerprint it, and then artificially inflate results by giving priority and bonus bandwidth to its tests.

targeted sanctions. "Here is a list of 20 oligarchs who can't travel to US and EU anymore and can't transfer funds there." There may be a few false positives but that's much better than blanket embargo on a whole population.

And when you find a business front of one of these, you have a legal reason to destroy millions from their wealth.

Angry oligarchs are probable more scary to Putin than protests in the streets of Moscow.
I even use druid for a simple browser gui on top of a rust json rest service. For an internal tool. Serde on both ends. Works great.
Propoze – Simple, beautiful and fast proposals
Super excited to finally launch our first digital product Propoze.

Long story short about Propoze.

Creating proposals after the call with a client was a slow and tiresome process. Sending the proposal as a document (pptx, xls or doc) had its own set of problems and we knew there has to be a better and improved way to do proposals.

Propoze allows us to create professional proposals in no time using a block based proposal builder in a super easy, fast and intuitive way. Propoze is customizable to match your business needs n your own currency, style and preference.

There are many proposal tools out there, yet we decided to create one that suits our needs. It works great for us. Now, we want to see if there are others we can help get better sales and grow their services.

Propoze is a product in early stages., but let us know what you think and how can we improve Propoze.
My friends and I did just that. I run us a federated self host. It's great. They aren't tech savvy - and no complaints.

I'm a DBA, and I agree. Cross-region transactions rarely make sense because if one region is not reachable (down, network-partitioned for more than 1 minute), then you can't do writes to any region. Think about it. :)

I guess if your partition time interval was known to be very short, like a flaky ISDN link, it could make sense for some use cases using retries, but then you should just get a better link.

CockroachDB discusses a multi-city vehicle sharing use case where multi-region transactions could be worth consideration, but I'm skeptical:

https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/multi-region-use-c...

(Developers and students get all excited about distributed systems, CAP, etc. but as a DBA, network partitions are largely not solvable from both technical and business standpoints. The solutions that do work include using vector clocks, or investing in a very reliable network, which is what Google is doing with dedicated fiber.)
Family offices are controversial at the moment in the US because they can be as large as a hedge fund, yet have no regulation.

There was a recent meltdown at Archegos that cost institutions several billion dollars involving a family office:

They're also a good gig if you're a CPA and one of your clients becomes a whale, which means you can work that one account and don't need to service 1,000+ little accounts annually.

(My CPA/EA got "difficult", so I dumped her and just do it myself now. Cheaper, faster and less headaches.)
That depends on whether they're rounding, or taking a floor or ceiling :). With proper rounding, it's a wash. I just did some back-of-the-dev-console calculations on a random groceries receipt I found on my desk, and I discovered that if the tax was calculated per item, I'd pay 0.01PLN less of it!

Regardless of the rounding method, the fair way is to sum up purchases and compute tax on the total, precisely to minimize the loss of precision on rounding.

Curiously, as far as I understand the Polish tax code (IANAL), the choice of the method to use is actually given to the vendor! The law recommends[0] that you calculate the tax by multiplying the rate with the total taxable amount, but also allows[1] the seller to choose to calculate per-item tax, and sum that. In both cases, mathematical rounding (half-up) is used[2].

But in practice, there's little to no difference unless you're doing a single purchase of a lot of items with weird pricing bias.

Can you name one thing there is a consensus on, in academic philosophy?
"Call of Duty: Warzone could not be more different from Defendant's game, a low-budget, niche virtual board game like Hasbro's Risk," the complaint said. "Indeed, it is inconceivable that any member of the public could confuse the two products or believe that they are affiliated with or related to each other."

Sounds like the defendant should change his product's name to "Call of Duty: Warzone".

After all, "it is inconceivable that any member of the public could confuse the two products or believe that they are affiliated with or related to each other."
Honestly, the fact that AssemblyScript's Array implementation does not double the internal capacity but instead adds just one more slot when reallocating makes me worry about the quality of the language as a whole.

I hope it is just an oversight, but come on...
~lol, imagine not doubling the capacity of a dynamic array upon allocation.~

In all seriousness, this is a great read, and I was mildly surprised JS was about the same speed as Wasm once TurboFan kicks in. As a compiler engineer, it's nice step back and appreciate the myriad of runtime-based optimizations that can be done with modern JIT compilers.

That being said, assembly script doesn't perform and high-level optimizations upon compilation, so I wonder how fast it will be once fully matured.
Understood. I will refrain.
Is there something about my comment that's more political than the ones above it? Like I guess I used a lot of buzzwords instead of vague political terms.
I’m not really sure how to understand your comment. I am replying to the linked article about the repugnant conclusion.

Housing, clothing and food are not the only things necessary for maximizing happiness. Even if every human being had these, there would still be differences of happiness.
It's fascinating to me how much crabs-in-the-bucket syndrome this place has acquired over the past few years. It's hard to think of successful people HN doesn't hate.
Also, remember the blockchain is effectively permanent.

Even if many of these activities cannot be identified today, it seems likely that many peoples transactions will be unmasked at some point in time.

STREAMS still work.
I only skimmed the article, but knowing previous solutions, there were attempts to use real subdivision and displacement of the original geometry.

The article does mention this line:

> These subtle adjustments of the 3D space are being applied volumetrically, as can be seen from the way the occlusion paths in the scene are changing. This demonstrates that the FOVO process is not simply ‘warping’ a 2D render in screen space but is applying nonlinear transformations to the entire 3D geometry.

I'm not sure how to interpret this in real terms, but it does seem to suggest at least it might be more than a simple 2d transform
https://old.reddit.com/r/askphilosophy/comments/es98yo/has_a...

Adding to that, you’ll also find that most philosophers are atheists / non-theists while most theologians are theists, which is why I said a consensus mostly reflects social groups and not any final say on the topic.

Your conclusion is the exact opposite of what the documentation explicitly states.

> Whitespace is needed between two tokens only if their concatenation could otherwise be interpreted as a different token (e.g., ab is one token, but a b is two tokens).

Because the concatenation of "0xf" and "or" can't be interpreted as a different token, the whitespace is not needed.
How can it be illegal?

That was my initial thought as well. Digging around the site you can see some images of the interior, it looks like they optimized for field serviceability and extensibility. There's also quite a bit of real-estate required for the powertrain, as it needs both a hydrostatic system and probably 10-20KW of electrical generation to drive all of the lasers and compute.

Some stats here: https://carbonrobotics.com/features

5 tons, 8 lasers, 75hp, 5 mph, 75 gallons of diesel fuel.

I'm a bit skeptical of the small wheels, though. Yes it is four wheel drive but I have a four wheel drive compact utility tractor that's about half that weight and the front tires (about the same size) are almost useless when the ground is wet. Unless this thing is really good at avoiding mud I think it would get stuck quite a bit (at least in Ohio).
The local public library has excellent pricing.
As I am a caucasian living in a european country, predominantly populated by caucasians, I can only try to relate to how it is to be in a minority in your own country, and how tense the racial tensions are currently in the U.S.

That being said, reading that description of the sterile legal proceedure and idology fueled indoctrination that is being imposed on those kids genuienly scares me.

How will things get healed if a whole generation will be brought up in an environment where they are dissuaded from asking, or being asked, the tough questions. Where feelings of quilt or righteous superiority are instilled in them over aspects of their society that they have not had a part in shaping, yet now need to answer for.

My humble view has always been that conflict between humans can only be resolved by dialogue. And as humans are messy creatures, those dialogues will have to be messy.

Proceduralizing it like this will just cause more harm, than it solves.
