> On the M1, the main CPU is owned entirely by the OS, and doesn't even implement EL3 (only EL2, the VM hypervisor level, which we boot in - we already have the Linux KVM hypervisor working on the M1), making it a much more user-controlled execution environment than almost all x86 machines and Android phones.

I agree that Apple probably has less random junk running at exceptionally high privilege levels, but your argument is not convincing to me. We have control of the exception levels, which we can check the existence of from the public ISA, but that doesn't mean Apple hasn't added any new stuff elsewhere that can touch the CPU in ways that are not yet known (and, to be entirely fair: I don't even think we know we have control of the exception levels. We have EL2 execution, but GXF exists, and even if we know how to navigate through it who can really say for sure what it does to the processor state?). I think the right argument here is "Apple has no reason to add stupidity to their processor (and many reasons to not add this garbage) so it likely does not exist" and leave it at that, rather than trying to draw up technical reasons why it seems more open.

Whilst I fully agree, I think some might argue you want your CEO to be fully invested in the success of the company. At this point Brian Armstrong could just coast on the job, and live of his $300 M for the rest of his life.

It might be more motivating for him to not have that cushion. At least that is the theory people usually have.
the problem with these solutions is that they make two assumptions:

1. that language can be controlled via a top-down process, that a fiat issued from those with the power to determine things will create a language of greater moral stature than before.

2. that there is a sort of slippery slope of meaning that humanity follows when imprinted with language, and thus man meaning a man and not a woman and man meaning humanity will cause people to go around thinking that women aren't human. It is true that much of misogyny assumes that women aren't human, but there is a huge inductive gap from noticing this to jumping to the conclusion that the structure of our language is responsible.

That said of #2 I think there is a weak function of this, but the moral crusaders always act like it is as strong as iron and must be broken or the world will never improve. Hence #1.
Sloppy.
I know that bit, but other commenters have implied that this is a direct signal that the police don't care about what the judge says.

I'm just wondering whether that is the case and it's a conscious decision made by the officers on the ground, or if they just don't know an order has been issued.
I'd be very curious to hear what are the objective reasons why "yellow" and "red" are considered offensive when they refer to race, and "white" and "black" are considered appropriate. If you dig into it... it's just happenstance and habit.

Colors are just colors. They're not emotionally charged. We do that through cultural context and association.

> I also think this is the first step towards aggressively policing the language, even though it starts as a guideline.

Language changes over time, as easy as that. Sometimes change comes in gradually over decades or centuries, sometimes change comes revolutionary (e.g. rap music lingo establishing itself in mainstream culture).

Especially in the example case of music, "policing" has been a constant reality (e.g. "bleeping out" of words or outright refusal to air content on TV/radio or parents forbidding their children to listen to rap or metal music because of "satanism" fears), yet no one complained there while now there is constant complaining about replacing of actually racially charged words?!
They could block references to dark skin color in Gmail and Google search? Just to name two products of theirs that have enough reach. Of course that would make (racist) people unhappy with Google, which isn't within its business interest. So they keep on posturing in ineffective ways that don't harm their business model.

I have zero problem with "master/slave or blacklist/whitelist.." stuff, I just didn't mention it because everyone has their own view, and had been discussed to the nth.

"megacorps such as Google or Facebook adopt influences everyone else" I don't really agree with this, they try and push their own agenda, but ultimately the community decides what it wants to do
I think it has something to do with uncanny valley. Just like how distorted human faces look unsettling, this is the same mechanism.

The letters are deeply rooted in our interpretation of the world, so when those symbols are distorted, it is a distortion of the whole world itself. I bet it's mostly only native users of the alphabet who are affected like this. Someone who uses it as a second language, e.g. a japanese person, probably doesn't get the same feeling

Transaction cost isn’t determined by hash rate. The difficulty adjusts to the hash rate such that a block is mined every X minutes. Because the block size is fixed, transaction fees are determined by the market for being included in a block, so the more transactions the higher the fees.

An alternative to Bitcoin’s fixed size is Monero’s adaptive block sizing. Monero blocks expand to fit more transactions, resulting in lower fees and higher throughput.

>> The evidence of the third person is that otherwise you've got to explain how the people in the car tricked the autopilot into driving at crashable speeds in a tiny cul-de-sac, where normally it wouldn't even engage, even apart from tricking it that there was a driver in the seat.

But that's not "evidence". That's just an unanswered question.

As I said recently in another comment, if you find yourself at the point where you're thinking "I can't think of a better explanation", that's not the time to say "that must be the answer"; that's the time to think harder until you find a better explanation.

In this case, if you can't find a better explanation than "there must have been a third person that we don't know was there", then it's time to sit down and think harder about how the accident could have really happened.

Because if you start assuming things we have no evidence for, you might as well assume invisible space leprechauns, for all the good it will do.

Not at all. If I could find three lists:

- common grammar errors among developers.

I would know which two which would be of use to me, and which one I should absolutely ignore.
To Op's point, the most recent snapshot before today of April 5 does not show the quote you're stating:

https://web.archive.org/web/20210405091504/https://www.tesla...

The closest I can find to it is:

"The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat."

I did find what you are referring to, however.

There is a video ( https://vimeo.com/192179726 ) embedded below "Future of Driving" section of the autopilot page. When you hit play the first message presented is:

"The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself"

That video with that statement is still on the autopilot page as of me writing this.

While a subtle nuance, I believe that wording is specific to the video demonstration ie. "what you are watching is completely automated, but if we filmed it without a person in the seat we would get in trouble" instead of "anyone can run Tesla without a driver, we just < wink wink > tell you to be in the driver's seat for legal reasons."
Coincidentally there are no commonly used scales or modes with two consecutive semitones. The semitone gaps are always spaced out. With 11 notes (excluding the octave), that only leaves 4 possibilities for a 7 note scale if you remove rotations. These correspond to major, harmonic minor, melodic minor and harmonic major.

The TL;DR is:

- you have a short window to report DC fraud before you bear the full risk; CC risk is capped

- dispute a CC charge: you don’t owe anything / accrue interest until resolved; DC case you don’t get any money back until bank decides it’s not your fault. Tough luck if you needed that money to pay your rent.

It's worse. It was written by technical people, who are immersed in a dysfunctional culture in which they:

1. Believe in the strong Sapir-Whorf hypothesis even though it was discredited decades ago.

2. Don't realise their beliefs about language creating or eliminating racism/sexism/etc are pseudo-scientific bunkum.

3. Or do know, but don't care, because controlling language feels like power, or worse, refusing to try and control language would mark them as an Enemy of the Ideology and they're afraid.

Many of these ideas are not merely dystopian but positively dangerous. For instance, "fat" being a banned word. Fat is considered to be a derogatory term because being obese is extremely unhealthy. Not only do fat people endanger their own health, but they drive up insurance premiums for everyone else. Lots of people work really hard to lose weight because there is such a thing as a healthy weight.

The idea that fatness is something fine or even to be celebrated is thus not merely dangerous, but deeply disrespectful to all the people who battled against their weight and made sacrifices of things they enjoyed to bring their weight down to a healthy level. Where I live some stupid clothes chain is currently running the wokest set of ads imaginable: photos and videos of absurdly obese "models" with slogans like "Diversity: here to stay". Those models need to lose weight or else they're gonna have heart problems, not to mention likely difficulty in finding a long term partner. Banning programmers from using the term "fat client" isn't going to change the basic physical reality in the world, just convince some low intelligence progressives that it's OK to ignore their own problems.

Really, Googlers should feel ashamed reading this list. It's Animal Farm, it's the USSR, it's King Canute's advisors. You cannot change reality by changing the language.
I remember the Sheffield ones well from the early 90's.

I imagine Sheffield University are stuck with them, there simply isn't enough space in the building core for conventional lifts to meet the requirement to move a lot of students up and down the building in the short space of time between lectures. I do remember the conventional lifts being quite big, but with long waits.
But they really don't, if you jump on a LTT, gamers nexus, or any tech review it will be full of benchmarks both real and synthetic, the process now might be mentioned but it's hardly the main selling point.

Intel have been happily enjoying huge market share on 14nm for the better part of a decade after all.
I very much agree, that this is not really helping nor worth the effort in most cases. Like whats offensive with about a hanging process?

I can understand trying to remove some stigmatisations, like blacklist for bad and whitelist for good, even though they are hard as they are very commonly used. But maybe that is part of the problem, that our western culture has the colour encoding of white == good and black == bad.

Even in an ideal world, where people don't notice the skin color anymore, I can see how a person with a black skin might feel hurt about that encoding in general, so maybe it is good moving step by step away from that, despite that it causes inconvenience.

I believe another aspect of point 1 is that, they believe that whatever injustices are out there in the world, will be fixed if they just change the language to be of such a format that such injustice can no longer be described.

The funny thing is that his own name is not even gender neutral: "Kleidermacher" means Clothes maker, but it's the male version of it. The female version would be "Kleidermacherin". It's interesting because if he has a wife then his own wife has a male version of the last name. Interestingly in Polish we always had gender versioned names. My name is Gorski, which is the male version for "Man from the mountains", but my mum and sister are "Gorska" which means "Women from the mountain". It was always like this. My grandpa was Gorski and my grandma was Gorska. This does not exist in German, there is no "Kleidermacherin" as a last name.

Just wanted to point this out as an interesting thing I noticed.
If one has the option to borrow at 0% on a currency that they believe will experience inflation, why would they choose to borrow in crypto (unless trying to short the market of course).

The current problem seems now that just not enough people are willing/able to do anything productive with capital, leading to a shortage of lending opportunities. In theory this should create a buyers market for anyone wanting capital, and to some extent it has. The problem is that, for whatever reason, people choose to poor capital into unproductive assets (IMO crypto being a minor culprit compared to real-estate or share buybacks).

At the higher level, I see this as a consequence of globalisation, where capital was made hyper mobile, and therefore it was applied away from home. Negative interest rates are a somewhat desperate attempt to put more capital in motion at home, but other policy has made this unattractive for anything but speculating.

I honestly think that working in an environment that happens to have these weird rules about arbitrary uses of terms is very toxic and discriminative, and deserves a re-look at in terms of worker rights about having a safe working environment (which this document pretty much guarantees they don't have). Next thing you know, because these words are now "codified", anyone that happens to utter these forbidden words or even worse, commit them into code, can potentially be called into some sort of disciplinary committee. Or even worse, be accused of "discrimination" by some random Google employee on Twitter.
