> Why can’t these programs exist while also having drugs be illegal?

How would you make that work? Consider if drugs are illegal, then getting medical help / detox requires admission of guilt. This seems like a fifth amendment problem.

You cant project time to win without knowing how many plots a farmer has. You've gotta have 100+ TB plotted (prolly closer to 140actually) at this point to have a chance at winning every 3-4 months.

A single plot would put you closer to 7 years.
Lots of us use languages that have no/almost no undefined behavior, it is really weird to see people trying to come up with reasons why this is hard. Perhaps there are still computing environments so slow that undefined behavior still makes sense in C, and C should remain that way. If so, use something with less of this for anything else.

So the current system with drugs being illegal leads to an all time high of overdoses, but you suggest a switch to a different approach is timed badly? Yes, I do think going the opposite route of the one causing record levels of overdoses is a good start.

I have a hard time following your line of thought.

Put another way: we've built all this nice stuff, and we enjoy society and all the things that go with it.

Either we are willing to accept the full cost of that, which means taking care of our own, or we're going to pay hard because of what happens when we don't take care of our own.

So which is it?

There are a handful of replies already and I'm not any sort of authority on this subject. But, I'd like to share a few of the things about this that have made sense to me; maybe someone will add to or correct one of them and I'll learn something more.

Black holes and gravity are hard to get a satisfactory grasp on for laymen (like me) because they behave in ways that are unlike anything else in the natural, observable world around us. People try to understand difficult concepts by relating them to familiar things, but gravity and black holes don't relate to anything we're familiar with.

Gravity for example isn't, we think, a "thing". It's a property, or a consequence. [1] Lots of people are looking for some way to relate it to the physics of particles and electromagnetic forces, but that hasn't happened yet. So, gravity doesn't escape, or travel, because it isn't a "thing". There's no particle of gravity. There is a force, in that when we observe large masses, they seem to be acted upon by some kind of invisible action, but that force is actually a consequence of things attempting to travel in straight lines along a curved surface.

Changes in gravity do travel, apparently at the speed of light. So, in that sense, the gravitational effect of a black hole does extend beyond its event horizon. But, that's totally okay, because gravity itself isn't a thing and doesn't travel and therefore doesn't need to escape a black hole.

Rather, a black hole is a consequence of gravity, or relativity. It's a division-by-zero [2] in the equations that describe matter, gravity, and curved spacetime. Thinking of black holes as being somehow similar to really really dense planets is one of the misconceptions that misled me for a long time. They are instead more of a place where physics, as we understand it so far, stops working.

That place has a boundary region where physics still mostly works, and things happen there that we can sort of understand and relate to. We can observe some of the effects of this extreme curvature of spacetime in this boundary region.

But beyond that, the curvature goes to infinity and volume goes to 0 and time stops existing.

We tried a strategy. All evidence point to that strategy being a complete failure at accomplishing any of its goals.

Yes, let’s try a different strategy. Yes, that different strategy might be the opposite of the thing we were trying before. That’s because the thing we were trying before has failed in almost every metric for decades (including drug overdose deaths, as you’ve noted).

Honestly, I genuinely don’t know how one could rationalize preserving the existing strategy. Can you explain the desire to continue applying the same failed strategy? What’s the logical argument for continuing to do the same thing?

This is incredibly dumb. SSD firmware exists at entirely the wrong level to protect against threats like ransomware or data theft -- it cannot identify what application is performing disk accesses and what data is being accessed, know whether that access should be authorized, or display prompts to the user to determine whether a given access should be allowed. All of these things are only possible in software.

My money says that their "dynamic data defense engine" is functionally independent of the SSD, and only requires their branded SSD to be installed as a licensing dongle. Describing this as a feature of the SSD is entirely a marketing ploy. And, because hardware companies are generally not very good at making decisions about software, the software they're bundling is probably less effective than a standalone security suite would have been.
>If you look at the state senate map, there is a lot more red land mass than blue.

Note that this movement isn’t recent and I think I’d traced to the proposed state of Jefferson[1] (in the NorCal, south and east Oregon areas), which was going to get a vote in Congress but WWII got in the way and never happened. It comes up from time to time; you’ll see banners for it in rural areas.

So it should not be framed as a pushback to current politics. They feel they’ve had reasons for a while.

Bob and Charlie are living rent-free in their parents' basements. Alice could have done the same—and will, if she has to sell the house to avoid bankruptcy—but she wanted to appear more independent. Alternatively, she could sell the house, pay off the remaining mortgage, and use the other $100k for rent until conditions improve.

No one in this scenario likely to end up homeless in the near term, as they all have roughly equivalent net worths over $100k. The system just favors those with their assets tied up in housing rather than more diversified investments or liquid savings.

Confirming #2: I live in Switzerland (low crime rate etc...) but I would not even dream of leaving my phone visible in the car.

Btw. in the 90' I used to detach each-single-time that I parked the car the front panel of the car's radio to then carry it with me (leaving the storage box in front of the passenger seat open, to show that I didn't just put it in there) to discourage people from breaking into the car to extract the radio (front panel & main car radio were individually coded to only work together, that's at least what I believed).

What a silly thing to do, hehe, but to be fair the price of a fancy radio at that time was similar to today's phones ("Pioneer" and "Sony" were high on my list - some models had quite complex display animations/colors/equalizers/etc & sound modes).
> We also use "περιφέρεια" for the circumference of a circle

Blasphemy! (In English, at least, circles have a "circumference" while every other shape has a "perimeter". Ovals seem to use either word.)

Great question! For rent payments, we do not make the payments with a YSplit card. We either send a check to the landlord or pay with an FBO account. Most utility providers don't charge that fee, but we don't pass the fee onto the user when they do.
It was a 2d game, we chose Java because there were tons of library available and because everyone knew Java or could learn it easily.

It's a usable language, albeit unpleasant. Also the primitive type system meant we had the weirdest bugs uncaught in production which took forever to debug.

I recently had the chance to build games again and we picked Typescript (for a 3d game) and Rust (for a 2d game).

Typescript is okish, unfortunately most of the libraries we use have patchy type support which translates to a few errors at runtime - but we didn't have many problems.

Rust has been pretty amazing. We're using early stage software (bevy) but the codebase is a pleasure to work with and once it compiles, things really work. One great advantage is using ECS. I tried to prototype the 3d typescript game with and ECS library but, again, lack of typing support in the library meant a lot of pain.

I've been using Rust for pretty much everything lately (from videogames, to running tensorflow, to writing web servers) and I have to say the advantages of using the language shadow the OSS projects being early stage.

> So, for example, undefined behavior that can be encountered within a loop makes it allowable to simply remove the loop. Even if the undefined behavior is inside of an if that does not happen to evaluate to true with your inputs.

The last sentence is not true. If there is UB inside the if, the compiler may assume that the if condition never evaluates to true (and hence delete that branch of the if), but it may certainly not remove the surrounding loop (unless it can also prove that the condition must be true).

That sounds awesome and I couldn't agree more.

Don't get me wrong, I am in it for the money in the sense that I need a proper salary but I couldn't care less about a 'bonus' being dangled in front of me and putting metrics in place that I'm supposed to hit to get a larger or smaller raise and percentage of the measly bonus (and no, making the bonus larger doesn't make it better. Makes it worse).

I do my best every day just because I enjoy my job. I won't try to do it better because of some metric someone is judging me on. I might actually do a worse job if I find my employer trying to use these metrics to deny me proper raises. Worse in the sense that you will probably see the metric reached. Actual output or overall results for the company will suffer.

I'm surprised this article didn't mention Worlds(.)com or even Second Life.

For those unaware, Worlds(.)com is an old virtual chat platform from 1995 that still exists today. I imagine it was a lot like VRChat back in the day in terms of its aesthetic and user experience, without the VR and with lower graphical fidelity. Its regulars today are, to put it lightly, very weird and sometimes unsettling people, but that's a topic for another time.

Worlds stands out in that many of its worlds are user-generated and still exist decades after they stopped being used. Exploring Worlds feels like you're exploring virtual ruins, where users made the kinds of worlds they would spend time on after work with fellow users.

You have virtual bars and clubs, virtual gardens, virtual BDSM dungeons, and even some secret areas. For example, there is a room only accessible by going behind a waterfall in another area, and it is a dark chamber with 2 floating roses in the middle, where Nights in White Satin plays. You get the sense someone made this for their partner. There is a "Hall of Fame" area with photos of the old users who spent time there, which prompted me to wonder how many of them were still alive.

The reason I was reminded of Worlds, outside of the obvious connection to the subject matter, is because of the article's idea of virtual space as a mechanism to experiment with identity. Worlds to me feels like a living, breathing, almost archaeological example of autobiographical virtual architecture.

The Latinate version would be "circumference".

> optimizations that look at UB adversarially

The whole point is that there isn't such adversarial thing like "we're going to find the UB right there, won't even print a warning about it, and mess up your crappy code, haha!"

Optimizers aren't reasoning about code like people do (start to finish with high-level understanding of the whole function), but rather as series of mostly dumb, mostly isolated small passes, each pass changing one little thing about the code.

It just happens that one pass marks certain instructions as "can't happen" (like the spec says), then another pass simplifies expressions, and then another pass that removes code that doesn't do anything, usually left over from the previous steps. They sometimes combine in an "adversarial" way, but individually each pass is justified and necessary.

Compilers already have lots of different passes. Splitting optimizations into passes is a way to keep complexity closer to O(n) rather than O(n^2), but this architecture makes interactions between passes very delicate and difficult to coordinate, so it's difficult to instrument the data to avoid only cases of annoying UB without pessimizing cases that users want optimized.

13 years into Bitcoin, it’s still not obvious.

It's pretty damn obvious once you objectively look at the shit show the fiat currency system has become.

It should be pretty obvious that people who work all of their lives can't retire with the money they've saved because their money loses (according to CPI) 2% per year.

Instead they have to risk their savings in the stock market or some other investment--remember savings, money markets, CDs return less than 1% interest; negative interest once you include inflation.
