Science is carried out by humans, and humans act on ulterior agendas all the time.

There's a whole class of facts called "hate facts", which are putative facts you would do well to doubt, and even if they were true pretend they are false anyway, because of the ammo they would give to people who want to oppress certain groups if they were true or widely accepted as true. One particularly volatile example is the supposed race-IQ correlations. Even if they were true we would be socially obligated to deny them, because letting that sort of thing become public knowledge would encourage the wrong sorts of people and groups. I suspect the same is true of sex differences in cognition, personality, or interest because it would enable misogynists to enact anti-woman policies in the name of "well, women just aren't interested in/don't have the personality required for that anyway".
I witnessed that firsthand. Most of us had just gotten over 18, but not him. One of us ended up buying the beers for him, and he got just as drunk as us.

After we'd helped the poor guy into a taxi the news broke.

What he didn't know was that the bar had a policy of one beer per id card, so the guy how'd ended up buying for him had gotten alcohol-free beer for our underage mate in addition to the real beer for himself, not telling our classmate of course.

For the rest of that year he was known as Claus[1]...

> Command line programs are black boxes (they could be pure bash, a compiled C++ binary, an npm package, etc), which means there is no programmatic standard for extracting the command set.

You say that but it's actually an easier problem to solve than it first appears. Both my shell, murex[0], and Fish[1] parse man pages to provide automatic autocompletions for flags.

I also have a secondary parser for going through `--help` (et al) output for programs that don't have a man page. This isn't something that is enabled by default (because of the risk of unintended side effects) but it does work very effectively.

They way I look at it though, is you want to cover as many things automatically as you can but there will always be instances where you might want to manually fine tune the completions. For that, I've also defined a vastly simplified autocompletion description format. It's basically a JSON schema that covers 99% use cases out of the box and supports shell code to be included to cover the last 1% of edge cases.

This means you can write autocompletions to cover common usecases and have the shell automatically fill in any gaps you might have missed.

All right, how many digits of precision do we have on that "consistent measurement"?

While they exist, shell based autocomplete have always felt like a suboptimal solution we just accept out of historical happenstance.

- You need to press tab to get any completion to display

- You don't know what completion will appear when you press tab, or at most one completion displays

- The completions are not at all aware of context, at best just doing some untyped fuzzy matching. Compare this to Fig, which at least seems to know what sorts of arguments each command accepts and displays a list of them

- They only provide completion, not inline documentation, which is one of the big points of the article
is this actually feasible - if we push it beyond HN then it becomes trying to crowd source wisdom or deep expertise across human experience. The Anti-Social-Media-Algorithm?

The wiki article seems pretty inconclusive.
There are countless stories like this and over the years I have witnessed many "non-technical" people using computers wihtout "GUIs". As in the parent comment, I observed they often jot down the commands and that's the end of it. Time at the computer used to be more limited. People take the most direct route to getting what they want done, then it's back to real life. Other than nerds, no one wants to stare at screens 24/7.

Non-technical people will use whatever they are being asked to use. If the "CLI" was popular amongst software authors (as it once was in the 1980s), people would use it and get things done the same way they do with "GUIs". I saw this first hand. Computers for many folks are just a means to an end.

The CLI if it were the chosen standard might make today's "tech" company strategies more difficult. How would ads be delivered. How would "dark patterns" avoid discovery. How would vendors justify "upgrades" without resource-hungry GUIs that slow down as they bloat.
I don't know. Have been asking myself the same question the past month.
> ... There exists, therefore, an obvious discrepancy between the libertarian vision of Bitcoin as a decentralised infrastructure that cannot be regulated by any third party institution, and the actual governance structure that dictates the technological development of Bitcoin — which, in spite of its open-source nature, is highly centralised and undemocratic. ...

I'm a little surprised about the lack of discussion around code forks and hard forks.

Thousands upon thousands of networks based on either the actual Satoshi code or the ideas it embodies have been launched over the last ten years. Bitcoin itself sustained one major hard fork that persists to this day (Bitcoin Cash).

Each one of those projects represents someone making a choice that the status quo wasn't good enough. Most will die sooner than Bitcoin, but some won't.

The result is a kind of decentralization that's very hard to control: hundreds of competing projects, each one trying to be the next X.

It is abusive, but the flip side of that is that the barriers to entry are informal. If you can perform and you're willing to work, you can find a way in. If you're good, you'll get other jobs. If you're good and easy to work with, people will come looking for you.
Sounds like a way to not test anything at all.

I really try to stay away from politics, but sounds as something made by some bribed political appointment.
There's a low upper bound on efficacy. You can only kill someone once. Realistically both methods leave evidence.

To do a code exploit you need to find something, sit on it hoping its upatched, and then hope nobody can figure out that you did it when they do their extensive analysis of why a car suddenly did something extremely rare and dangerous, else you lose the exploit.
I think you mean to ask "why didn't they" since this has already happened multiple times in the past.

The answer is that miners would have to take mining power away from the chain that they were mining. In practice the mining power that each chain receives is proportional to its current price.

This is also something all the people upset about the electricity that bitcoin mining takes up need to understand. The electricity is being paid for by the people buying the balances that the miners mine. If people weren't buying the massive miner rewards every 10 minutes, the price of bitcoin would not stay the same and the same electricity usage would not be viable.
Then shouldn't there be three classes of man to make things symmetric: the underperforming ones, the normal ones, and the overperforming ones?
No, the problem here is there are only a few trains in the world that need this technology. Thus there are very few to amortize the costs of more R&D over. Tilting as a whole is a dead end: passengers get sick where it is used. The replacement is don't tilt your trains on corners at all - thought there are other technologies that are already more reliable as well if you must.

It can still be done, but the ROI is very low.
I don't get your second sentence either.

The trouble with these kinds of studies is that there is a global culture of male and female behavior in everything from movies to product design. Given the pervasive importance we put on gender, there is no supprise it would have a globally detectable effect on personality tests. The aim of course is to study the biological cognitive difference between sexes, not the cultural cognitive difference. But since there's no ethical double blind study we could run, there's no way to completely separate cultural differences from biology. If there was a way to do a personality study of the last uncontacted tribes we might be able to get somewhere, but even then the physical difference between the sexes is going to lead to a cultural difference between the sexes and therefore a psychological difference between the sexes.

So, sure there's a measurable difference, but it's probably impossible to learn exactly what creates the difference.
Of course you don't think that's correct. Neither does he. No one is gatekeeping women out of tech. You want to believe that, so you find reasons to explain it that put the responsibility for it on everyone except those choosing not to do it.

The problem is that people like you will say people say things they didn't say and won't acknowledge the things they actually did say.

No one is gatekeeping women out of working in coal mines or driving trucks or heavy equipment or welding or garbage collection or any of those jobs either.

Why tech?

Why? Because it's not.

There is an overabundance of oppression in the world and it has nothing to do with gender, race, class, etc. There are oppressive people and they ruin life for many of all genders, races, classes, etc. Oppressive people are going to find any reason at all to insult, degrade, and disrespect others to oppress them.

Blaming other people for your own situation that you largely control, I would argue that the individual has more control over their life than anyone yet, responsibility of the self is completely absent from the discussion.

That, itself, is a form of oppression. It is oppression that we need to focus on. Not gender, race, class, wealth, geography, nationality, etc, etc, etc.

Oppressive people need to be rooted out and removed from society until they are rehabilitated.
"The Cove" is about a traditional annual dolphin hunt in one Japanese village, called Taiji, similar to the traditional annual hunt of pilot whales at the Faroes. The two are directly comparable.

The numbers you quote are for fish, without distinction (and they may well exclude cetaceans, actually). The Taiji hunt has a quote of about 2000 animals. The Faroese hunt doesn't have a quote as far as I can tell but it catches 500 to 1000 animals on average according to wikipedia. Look it up yourself if you're interested.
In response to your edit

"I'd like to ask why you're OK with people mistaking this as a serious investment instead of the quant-level speculation you are referring to"

I literally do not care how people use their money but if you actually read between the lines, I have been saying that ETH is not something you should hoard. You only need as much ETH as necessary to write to compute nodes based on the computational expensiveness of the operation. You can do fairly arbitrary executions as long as you are willing to pay for it. I don't personally care what those executions are. But of the subset of those executions, the repo market and liquidity pool providing has stood out to me. And as I've said two or three times now, if you want to speculate on other people doing those "quant-level speculations" because now you don't need to be a top investment bank anymore and instead can just watch a few youtube videos to borrow and repay a few hundred million dollars for a few seconds, then go ahead an hoard ETH.

My actual opinions on unsophisticated people investing has nothing to do with Ethereum specifically. I am opposed to any barrier on investing when there are no barriers on gambling. Negative expected values games are available to all, but for something with positive expected value we want to coddle "grandmothers"? Miss me with that nonsense.

You act like you are here to provide scrutiny but were predictably never here to discuss any use case. You act like you were diplomatically asking for use case, and then never discuss any one of them only to move the goal post until revealing what everyone could tell you were trying to get at. Thats why I asked you, are you in the market for anything? Its useful to me to be able to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars for 5 seconds to earn a few basis points on an arbitrage I identified, without asking anybody. You can pretend that a MySQL database is better for that, but nobody is offering that service and it is fairly impossible to because of the financial legal barriers for a central party to offer a service that are exclusive to a central party, primarily around custody of funds, fiduciary duties, money service licenses, broker dealer licenses, settlement and inefficient state currency controls. The current evolution of the onchain services do not have custody to begin with, which are legal explicitly written exemptions to all of those laws.
From the first website you link:

>Black people were 28% of those killed by police in 2020 despite being only 13% of the population.

Just because a large amount of mining is done in one physical location doesn't mean it's not decentralized.

All mining is done on earth. Does that mean it's centralized?

I think the implication is that the Chinese government has influence over the currency. If that's true (and I don't think it is, or that they even have any interest, given the rise of crypto capitalism in HK and mainland China) then they could at most attack the network once, completely destroying its value. Sounds like a lot of wasted energy when people can 1) fork BTC to circumvent this 51% attack, and/or 2) opt for another currency to replace BTC as "digital gold".

I hadn't thought of that but yea I agree entirely. Tipping culture is something that's also really difficult to combat - I feel like it'd require legislation making tipping illegal to actually break the habit since otherwise you're just lowering the waiter's take home.

I will continue to both grumble about how bad tipping is while also tipping constantly since I think it's the only reasonable thing to do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development)

Confused about what you mean by "take control" of the new fork.

The powerful miners are going to download a different set of software with different rules, and mine on it? That would just be supporting the new fork by participating on it, giving it more legitimacy by way of giving it resources (hash power).

*EDIT: You can certainly attack a chain by dedicating your hash power to sabotaging their blocks. This however would make your own chain weaker, and generally not a profitable use of resources.

One I've been pondering lately is suffrage. For most of history, and indeed most of US history, "men" could not vote either. A small percentage of rich white men could vote. The rest of us were in the same boat as women. And within one human lifetime from when all men got the right to vote, we gave women the right to vote. That's incredibly fast on social change timeframes. But the story is not taught that way in history class.

It's interesting how frequently this pattern exists where history is silent about class difference and loud about race/gender differences.

I'm talking about other people's perceptions of him.

If he thought he could make it look like an accident, it looks "better" (to some people) to die in a freak plane crash than it does to kill themselves (which looks "weak").

The insurance money is probably a better explanation but I think the above psychology would apply to quite a few people who wouldn't want to saddle their family with the perceived embarrassment of committing suicide.

No problem! Thanks for your feedback too. The examples browser is really designed to be a vehicle to learn and experiment with the engine run-time. It should be a great resource for engine-only developers - so hopefully the dvh will find it interesting.

The biggest issue with traditional shell completions is that they are kind of tricky to build. Everything is defined imperatively and written as a shell script.

We wanted to lower the barrier to building completions and make a representation that works across different shells.

Your comment is typical of the pro-nuclear stance where all of the failures are pinned on opponents. San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station wasn't closed because of Friends of the Earth. It was closed because the new steam generating tubes were wearing out two years after being installed. The regulators weren't about to let the operator run it as is. And the operator didn't want to pay to replace the steam tubes again. So they closed it.
Agreed that the 2040s have great potential due to massively cheaper energy and lots of it, but I disagree that nuclear will contribute much. I'm not convinced that nuclear has such great qualities compared to renewables plus storage, and I think the only reason this is not more commonly held is that people have not yet internalized a world with storage at the prices we will see it within 5-10 years.

Battery storage can scale large, but more importantly, it can scale really small. This means that you can throw a couple shipping containers of it at one side of a congested transmission link, and save tons of money. It means that we can make all our houses self reliant for hours at a time.

Storage will help us solve the problem of transmission lines causing massive wildfires. It will provide massive reliability and resilience across the grid. Small nuclear won't help much with that, unless is also paired with storage.

If nuclear can provide electricity at rates competitive with solar and wind, then storage will help nuclear too. But if nuclear is not beating the cost of solar and wind, then we will have less wealth if we spend our labor building nuclear than if we build renewables and storage.

A world built on solar wind and storage will probable have peak power capacity 2x-4x more than we need, with 2-3 days worth of storage. The ratio between power and storage will largely depend on the relative costs of storage versus power.

And I think it's time to start thinking about the sort of word where we have an over abundance of energy that renewables will provide. We will have lots of excess energy being produced, and with the right applications that can tolerate intermittency, that excess energy will incredibly cheap.

> Yet I had just as much opportunity to play basketball as Michael Jordan had. But equal opportunity was not nearly enough to create equal outcomes.

I don't know about you, but as someone that played a lot of basketball in my youth, I did not have equal opportunity to play basketball the same way Michael Jordan did. Could I go out to a hoop at a park and play around? Sure. But at 5'-8", my opportunity to play at any real competitive level was limited by genetics long before things like drive and skill.

I'm confused why you would think this is a good analogy at all, unless you were trying to link it to intelligence (which is its own can of worms), which doesn't seem to be where you were going. Using competitive sports, which are extremely cutthroat when viewed through the lens of careers and those that make a living doing it, is almost never a good way to equate equality and regular access for the masses.
