Ideologically, I agree with you, and passionately agree with that statement on the "sexual assault" term.

The sad fact is many people are unable (and sometimes unwilling) to separate a cause from its proponents. Every (misquoted) controversial statement he makes is ammo for opponents of free software to tar the entire movement with.

I agree, his opinions on unrelated topics shouldn't matter, and we should strive to progress society to a level where they don't, but we're not there yet. We're not even close, if we're even moving in the right direction.

It's a tragic precedent that is the result of decades of technical debt. Of course I'm not at all surprised to learn that the feds would rather take more unchecked power for themselves than use their mouthpieces to pressure Congress into forcing an industry wide focus on security that has teeth. From top to bottom the internet of things needs to be redesigned to treat every port and every communicated bit as potentially hostile. In the current state of affairs it is not outside the realm of possibilities for a lone actor to use a few RCEs in Windows, *nix, android and iPhones to brick billions of devices overnight. We should be glad that terrorists and nation states are using 0 days with relative discretion for profit and reputation protection instead of destroying critical infrastructure that would take in the range of years to decades to rebuild. I fear that our generation is going to have to learn this lesson the same way the Japanese learned about the horrors of nuclear bombs. Shit. Imagine if stuxnet had been given the capabilities to smoke CPUs, RAM, HDDs or anything else it could get write access to, like water pumps, or pressure regulators.

The people aren't poor, even though the country is poor on paper, but Croatia isn't really poor, because the people have cash stashed away and the rest of their savings are in real estate ownership. And then there is the matter of Croatia having so many natural resources, that the country isn't actually poor. They are not a poor nation and they do not live in a poor country, it's just that this country functions very differently from how you expect a non-poor country should function. Just because they don't do debt doesn't mean they are poor, or will be poor. People without debt are not only rich but free, because nobody can have them by the balls.
The issue is that success and quality of life are subjective. While it would be great to measure them the same way we measure GDP, I do not think it is possible to do so without using many different metrics.

You are correct that GDP is being misused if people suggest it is a measure of success or quality of life. GDP is what it is, a measure of economic activity (any economic activity, more than just conversion of natural resources into monetary capital). That makes it only one piece of a very complicated puzzle. Many practitioners who use GDP understand it for what it is, but some don't and that is dangerous.

I'd be interested to hear if you or anyone else has suggestions of what we could use instead. It is a very difficult problem to solve, but one that has the potential for improving the world significantly.

Reddit is interest-based but gets free labor from most subreddit moderators that remove bad content for them. Reddit is also much less lucrative of a content platform given you have limited ways to make money (usually limited to linking to your patreon), so the content is constrained to whatever people do with no expectation of money.
That's its own thing and it's just as absurd as this, but this person got a strike for "violating harmful and dangerous policy".

I don't upload any videos, but if their AI for reviewing videos is as bad as their AI for reviewing comments then both should be completely scrapped. Because it's not a regex matching or whatnot, but AI, it's impossible to predict which comment or a livechat message will get through. In practice it's virtually random. And the worst part is that they don't even bother to mention that your comment was 'problematic' to them, you have to have two windows open, one for posting and one on private mode to verify which of your comments actually showed up.

Just as a disclaimer, I haven't tried it in a while, so maybe it's somewhat better now, I don't know.

my dad (80 YO) has a PhD in computer science and has been scammed multiple times.

I have had multiple employees buy about 7K in gift cards for scammers.

I personally bought a $200 electric surfboard that ended up being a $20 boogie board (facebook ad). I immediately realized it was a scam but paypal wouldnt let me cancel the transaction. They said I had to receive the item first. Then when I received the item the refund link wouldnt work (errored out). I ended up just giving up and eating the $200.

A retired friend had all bank accounts and investment accounts drained (millions). Im not sure how this happened, but 2FA is a must for big accounts.

Im pretty sure scammers make a lot of money.

These days I mainly get car warranty calls.

And one other thing: Cheap, anonymous tests for everyone. It should be the norm that when you hook up with a new person / one night stand that you show them your recent negative test result. At least where I live (Germany) you can already get them sent to your home for 50€ (https://samhealth.de/) and you can get free tests at your local health office (Gesundheitsamt) if you are not too shy to argue a bit. AFAICT it should be a net positive for society to completely subsidize home tests for everyone, but that is probably an uphill battle against conservative prejudices even in Germany.

> A bit of diet, exercise, and an once of prevention is worth its weight in gold.

All those cases of just eating less sugar / exercising more / sitting less are unfortunately really hard for most individuals. We really should strive to create environments where doing the good thing is as easy as possible. Like offering free daily work breaks for sport or having healthy lunch meals for children in school.
Thanks for the pointer! It looks like my colleague Oliver, who is on our extensions team, replied there. :) I hope what he had to say helps.
“They” were ruthless rapists who ordered Lot to hand over his guests so that they could “know” them.

Notice how the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah are never spelled out in detail. We assume, based on our religious tradition, that the sin was gay sex and forget all the other sins that are alluded to. In our modern viewpoint, the story is about two happy gay communities that the evil God of Abraham destroys.

However, the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah were, at the very least, gang rapists. Furthermore they committed the greatest sin imaginable for a tribal society: they disrespected a guest. Note how Lot, rather than have his guests raped, offers his own daughters.

All this under the threat of violence against Lot.

Burst 1.5: Unity3d's High Performance C# Compiler
I don't see much Python, mainly Lua with Spanish keywords and function names, basically. while => mientras, if => si, end => fin, break => romper, print => poner, etc.

I learned programming with such a "localized" version of simplified FORTRAN, but I didn't find it intuitive or conducive to learning how to program. Later, I read a study (can't cite it; lost the details) that found interference from programming language keywords in English speakers, but not in others, and they suggested it might actually be easier to learn programming with English keywords.
> firstly you are reliant on the disks presenting themselves in the same order at the same time.

In Linux, which is what Raspbian is, it is standard nowadays to use UUID disk labels.

> Another issue I've bumped into is that mdadm has come up before the USB disk is initialised, causing all sorts of issues. in short raid over USB is just plain fragile.

No issue with that. I guess systemd handles this. Only thing I found is that the hub needs to provide enough power on booting up.

> power issue leading to corrupt "/" or any other SD card failure

For that, I have a backup of the sd card. I am using an "industrial" SD card by the way which costs a few bucks more. Also, the card is running in read-only mode, using unionfs. Logs are written to a partition of the RAID disks.

> usb disk breaking

That's handled by RAID1 and backups.

> OS crash borking everything

I've never seen that on Linux, in 22 years using it. The closest I came to was botched EFI parameters from an Ubuntu install gone wrong, on a Desktop PC. Wait, I also had a problem in about 2003 with a broken ISA disk controller. Ah, and I am using EXT3 which is a journaling file system.

> Raid might protect against a usbdisk breaking

Yeah, that is what it is for. It is not a substitute for backups (but nobody said something like that, I think). In fact, it is easier to make backups from a Pi, using the standard Linux tools like tar, ssh and rsync.

> its not even going to give you a performance boost either, its USB3

For my purposes, it does not need to be faster (and it is much, much faster than the old DNS-232). The Pi 400 has Gigabit Ethernet and plenty of RAM. I am running a MoinMoin wiki instance on it, and it is more than fast enough for personal information management.

It can well be that a small thing like that is not fast enough for a medium-scale business with, say, a dozen clients. But this was not what my requirements were. I wanted to have a solution which is very low-power. And the Pi 400 is probably one or two Watt if idle, and the disks are spun down:

Right-click on the GIF and open it in a new tab, and zoom it up a bit if it helps. Then try to look at it as if you were playing a video game, or imagining yourself being in the room.

The linear projection image, the "one that looks like the space is being sucked into a vortex" is what you'd get in a traditional game if you set it to render the same visual field human eyes see, instead of 90° that's typical for first-person shooters. The other one, the one that looks slightly bendy around the edges but otherwise OK, is much closer to what you'd see if you were standing where the camera is.

> The picture is a flat projection about 10cm wide on my screen, so it's displayed on a tiny FoV.

That's not the perspective I'm talking about. I'm talking about the other one, in which you look at the picture on the screen, but see it as if the picture was your entire field of view. I'm not sure how to explain it better than I tried in my previous comment, so let me put it this way:

Look away from the screen, down the length of the room you're currently in. Absorb the space you see, without moving your head. Try to do a mental "screenshot". Imagine downloading it from your brain and viewing it on your computer screen. It would look completely different from a real photo taken from where you're sitting. That FOVO render seems to be close to what the "mental screenshot" would look like on a computer screen, at least in my case. And it's the first time I saw anyone doing it.
> How is this different than mining for Bitcoin or any other virtual currency?

Bitcoin mining is finding y < sha256(sha256(x)) - that's it. When you mine coin you don't give anyone the ability to execute Turing complete code. Even their transaction "scripting" language isn't Turing complete.

You can always quibble with the exact percentage (and the article I posted discusses some of the objections), but there is considerable evidence that there must have been a fairly high infection rate — given the minimal measures taken, there hardly is another explanation for why the first wave petered out and case numbers stayed low for several months. Excess deaths in the first wave were .15% of the population of the city, which is relatively young, which also points to a high infection rate.

And all of that didn't help one bit in the second wave.

A year ago, many people took seriously Swedish claims that Stockholm was close to herd immunity. Now Manaus is never supposed to have reached herd immunity levels. It seems to be a bit of a "No True Scotsman" type of situation.
VAT is just a poll tax by stealth. Instead of charging you directly, we will increase the price of all of the goods and services you consume, distorting and adding a huge bureaucratic layer to the economy as a result.

Secondarily we will print money to finance Government spending, and you will 'pay' for it through inflation.

Meanwhile the rich can avoid VAT by purchasing expensive personal electronics and cars through their companies and getting rebated, and see their asset portfolios increase in value thanks to the money printing.

If the psychological element of paying poll taxes is too extreme, just replace them with land taxes with credits for each citizen living there and large credits for children under 16. At least you can link the payment to the consumption of a resource (housing) and penalty if you don't pay (confiscation or the application of a lien).

Of course land value taxes are unpopular in European countries with a huge class of landed gentry...
He reminds me of myself back when I was an academic. I had a glorious capacity to genuinely believe that whatever I was working on was extremely important, and the hidebound fools in the establishment failed to appreciate my work because of a combination of inertia, stupidity, and possibly corruption. When I got some distance from it realized that my ideas were just moderately interesting and only barely novel, and the implications weren't as big as I wanted them to be.

The greatest indication that Hawkins is directionally right but also substantially wrong is the fact that GPT-3, AlphaZero, etc. are capable of such amazing things with such a uniform architecture, that nonetheless don't really look the way he thinks they should. Personally, I think he underestimates the degree to which huge classes of machine learning algorithms are basically just different ways of instantiating the same concepts.
>> It doesn't matter in which order the rules are checked.

> Nowhere did I claim otherwise.

You claimed otherwise when you wrote "Because the hexadecimal parsing rule [0] happens before [1] the rule that parses names [2]", and when you wrote "literals have to be evaluated before names", and when you wrote "the rules can’t be evaluated concurrently". That is, you claimed otherwise in every single one of your posts in this subthread.
The `unison` programming language represents all symbols as labels on hashes, so it makes it relatively trivial to remap from one language to another.

I commented on another thread about being hype about this, and people pushed back, commenting that it's really beneficial to have English as the lingua franca of software development.

It strikes me that lowering the barrier to entry by not forcing someone to learn programming and English is positive. But fragmenting standard communication language harms software as a whole. Plus, learn English and you get access to millions upon millions of man hours in libraries and documentation.

Maybe it's not really an either/or here; better for people to have choices.

All of that said, "Latino" seems like a particularly terrible name for a programming language: it should probably be hispanohablantes for correctness.
