Ah.

Alright, this is rooted in a confusion between the normal use in statistics and the normal use in human speech.

Absolutely, average-without-qualifications means the mean, if we're going to be handed a list of actual numbers and expected to produce another number from them.

But especially for highly right-tailed distributions, when people talk about the average, they mean something more like the median, if there's a significant difference.

I would find it annoyingly pedantic if someone said the average net worth in Jeff Bezos' municipality was 60mm, if the median was closer to 0.75mm. If I was handing someone an Excel spreadsheet of tax returns, I would of course tell them that we needed the median. Or the mean but in this circumstance I wouldn't use the word 'average' because of the wide skew. If I did anyway, yeah I would probably get the mean back.

That's how average works in statistics, but not in common speech.

Gee, how could the entry point to all the devices around you ever become a money making firehose?
Possibly unpopular opinion:

This is a tragedy for Free Software. The Linux kernel (and specifically its GPL nature) is the best thing that has ever happened to Free Software drivers and embedded systems. The only reason that companies release open source drivers for their products is because they are legally required to in order integrate with the Linux kernel. Clearly Google wants to move away from this world.

I will mourn the day that a non-copyleft kernel supplants Linux and our only reason for free software hardware support comes to and end.

"the election was rigged" is essentially unfalsifiable. If you stop people from saying it when it isn't true, you'll also inevitably silence people from saying it if it ever becomes true in the future.

To me, the latter is too big a price to pay for the former.
> It sends a pretty clear message

No, it doesn't. If you want send that message clearly, you should state in your readme: "We don't give a fuck about bug reports, especially if they're valid and relevant.".
Pleased to see this feature.

The one feedback I'd give is that it's hard for a user to know they can adjust the quantity on mobile. You have to click the "Details" link in the top right, and it's not really obvious to a user this is where they should go do this. (i.e. they may well think that they can't update the quantity).
Are there any privacy aspects to this? Does Google track everything that is going on?

Do you have control over your device or can Google release updates and do whatever they want with it?
They sent an email out regarding this:

> YouTube’s right to monetize: YouTube has the right to monetize all content on the platform and ads may appear on videos from channels not in the YouTube Partner Program.

So... "you can't just upload unlimited videos for free and expect us to host them for free and show them for free and not have ads". Seems pretty reasonable to me.

This isn't really surprising. Google is finally trying to get their storage usage under control. And they've been giving away unlimited storage in so many products for so long that people are like "whoa, you're not allowed to do that!"
No, it's because the platform policies enforce a foreign social order. In America, we have our own pieties and taboos and these social media platforms heavily enforce them. Transgenderism, homosexuality, racial equality, gender roles, not every country holds American or European views on those, but those are the only views that are fully allowed on American social media platforms.

India has its own social order. Why should it let its online discourse be controlled by the American social order?

I'd challenge you to do the opposite, because my experience is apparently the antithesis of yours. I have run on treadmills in gyms all over the world as well and I can't remember using a single one that didn't have better protection from sucking small things into it than the Peloton. Every treadmill I've used (as far as I can recall) either had a much more enclosed back or a (usually metal) bar to prevent exactly the situation that occurred in the video I posted.
I found my great grandfather and great granduncle listed on what seem to be (from skimming autotranslations) missing landowner documents in the Czech Republic, dated as recently as the beginning of 2021 (web version linked below). Which was surprising to me, since they immigrated to the US around 1905, before the obvious 20th century upheavals. I guess unless property is valuable enough for someone (including the state) to invest effort in securing ownership of, it can sit with unclear ownership forever, more or less.

https://www.hlidamsikatastr.cz/Katastr/Neznami-vlastnici says unclaimed land will be forfeited to the state in 2023, I guess this must be highly specific to the Czech Republic. Still surprising to me that it'd take 100+ years!
I generally agree with you. I don't personally find eMTBs to be bothersome, and fully expect to be riding one when I'm not physically able to ride an acoustic MTB. And I definitely agree with you re. bystanders, where regular MTBs are fast enough to be dangerous.

The only point where I disagree is:

> There's nothing about eMTBs allowing people to venture in more difficult trails than with normal MTBs

If you want to go down the hill, you need to climb up the hill. This is a skill and fitness gate, normally; you're not going to tackle a difficult or extended descent if you don't think you can climb out again.

Soquel Demo Forest, one of the very popular Bay Area spots, bans eMTBs. It might be reasonable in this case due to the elevation profile. From the car park you need to climb for 20-40 minutes. You descend. You then have another long climb back to the carpark. It's a worst-case scenario for batteries, and because the area is so popular, it tends to attract people riding beyond their limits already.

I don't personally care, and I don't want to tell people not to enjoy an activity, but I can understand the reasoning in some cases.
Sure, it's risky. But how risky?

Content creators could move to a different platform, but that's also incredibly risky. Unless you're already hugely successful, abandoning YouTube probably isn't a great way to build a following. The same goes for building their own platform, with the added complication of it being prohibitively expensive to make a scalable, relatively ad-free video platform if you aren't a megacorp who generates billions of dollars from other revenue streams.

So I suppose there is a risk, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a risk that Google would live with if sponsored content was undermining their entire monetization plan for YouTube. I have no idea if they'd care enough to do this or not, but I don't think a scattered collection of content creators have enough leverage to scare Google here.

> This seems like further evidence that distro package managers aren't the way forward

On the contrary, distributions are here to stay and they are growing their adoption on many platforms including hi-end "IoT" and cars.

No sensible organization runs bleeding edge OSes on their airplanes, power plants, payment processors, industrial plants and so on...

This also applies to not pulling random packages from random github repos using some language-specific package manager hoping they don't contain backdoors.

Case in point: the CIP project https://www.cip-project.org/ aims to backport security fixes to Linux for 25 years after each CIP-approved release. This is because people expect to run the same kernel/OS for 30+ years.
Everything is something compiled to something else and eventually machine code, but some do run faster/slower than others.

Usually it's mostly about that generated code is more bloated to manually crafted code. Compare generated assembly with manually crafted assembly and you'll see what I mean.
I doubt it's within Congress's ability or capability. In addition to property rights, this case also involves freedom of speech and association. Congress can't make any laws abridging Apple's freedoms at the expense of the consumer's/developer's or vice versa. The courts don't exist to regulate, they exist to interpret their impartial findings on the basis of current law. What's needed is an answer to these questions and there's no better place to do it than in the courts.

Funny that no one was banned for saying, as many did, that it was impossible for it to have come from a Chinese lab. Those asymmetries in enforcement always seem to lean in the same direction.
There will be no winner. There will be winners.

Rust has a niche, and it is a big one, where a lot of C++ used to be. If you cannot afford GC pauses (all sorts of servers) and need fine control, rust could very well be for you. It will win in that space.

System programming is not a "ever-shrinking percentage of the software ecosystem". It is a constant percentage. As we develop systems we need languages like Rust.
Belta (the state news agency) was using YouTube for propaganda for almost a year since the protests in 2020 in Belarus. Videos of "confessions" by beaten protestors were very common. I'm not sure how much the government spends on ads but you can hardly watch anything on YouTube without stumbling into a propaganda video.

> “We believe that working out at home is the future,” the CEO said. “That is why we’re investing in this facility.”

Is it really going to be that much bigger post Covid? It’s not like home gyms have never been thought of before, or there’s something new that happened that Peleton didn’t already have in 2019.

Sure Peleton has features that make it feel like you’re connected to a larger community. But ultimately many people want the actual ability to talk to the instructor, or feel the energy from others in the class (eg why live music/comedy cannot be replicated), or build bonds and social relationships with others. Those that don’t care about these things already would have worked out at home before. Sure maybe some bought this equipment during Covid, but that doesn’t mean it all of the sudden becomes “the future of working out.”
> Meh, the future is higher and higher abstraction layers and higher level business logic with more and more details managed for you by the runtime.

Historically this doesn't seem entirely true. We haven't gotten much higher level than Java, outside of non-eng niches where we haven't gotten much higher level than Python (which is arguably lower level than R, which has been unseated).

So I don't think it holds true that we'll continue to chase a higher abstraction layer. We recognize the cost of doing so, and it hasn't been worth paying so far.

Besides that, Rust is quite capable of providing high level abstractions. I myself am building a sandboxing mechanism in Rust that will be entirely managed for you but with no runtime cost (it's generated statically) - it is Rust's low level power that lets me build such high level abstractions.
Thankfully, there is a wonderful extension for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/

The problem that the US has supporting mass manufacturing and assembly is that companies like Apple stopped making things there, and once that happened all the expertise and supply chains to support that manufacturing was lost, meaning that now it's not possible to make stuff in the US anymore and those companies are totally dependent on China which didn't make this mistake. Part of the problem Apple had was that they couldn't get items as basic as screws in the quantities needed from US suppliers, and why would they be able to when there's no US manufacturers which need those items in those quantities?

It's even harder than that.

SVE vs NEON performance will also hugely depend on the vector length the given algorithm requires, and the stress that the instructions put on the memory subsystem.

Memory hierarchy varies by product and will likely continue to do so regardless of what M2 does.

In the end, I echo eyesee's comment, for best performance one should really use Accelerate.framework on Apple's hardware.
I already spelled out the difference, and even highlighted it in the hope that people would notice, but I don't mind doing it one more time: in urbit, there is no difference between an instance and a user.

If everyone in Mastodon ran an instance with exactly one user, then sure, it would be possible to ban a user, but not strip the database of all their posts and take their identity away, because both of those things are under the instances control.

But Mastodon doesn't work that way, and urbit does.
Free doesn't really work? What do you think about linux, git, emacs, blender, vulkan, etc?
I don't think the two versions are relevant to Law of Demeter. One example has pointers/references in a strong tree and another has indexed ones, but neither is embracing LoD more or less than the other.

This would be a more relevant example:

parent_entity.children.remove(this)

vs

parent_entity.remove_child(this)

...Where remove_child() would handle removing the entity from `children` directly, and also perhaps busting a cache, or notifying the other children that the heirarchy has changed, etc etc.

Going back to your original case, you _could_ argue that LoD would advise you to create a method on entity which returns the parent, but I think that would fall under encapsulation. If you did that though, you could hide the implementation detail of whether `parent` is a reference or an ID on the actual object, which is what most ORMs will do for you.

> But I am not happy about GMO with the sole purpose of deploying more and more herbicides.

If you want to deal with herbicide use (or pesticides more generally), target that, not GMOs. Because targeting GMOs means that while the existing major established uses with a sold revenue model can find ways to take the hit — so the big herbicide producing chemical/GMO giants are only modestly inconvenienced, and their tweaks and refinements to their existing products barely affected — all the startups doing development of GMOs for yield and nutrition traits which are more speculative, higher risk, and not as politically connected are screwed.

Facebook banned a New York Post story that was factual and not inflammatory: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/548612-facebook-prevents-...

So people or stories get banned even if they are true for some other reasons. You don't know what those reasons are, and they may change going forward.
You're right about the implications of Kogge-Stone, but constant factors matter a lot.

In fixed width ISAs, you have N decoders and all their work is useful.

In byte granularity dynamic width ISAs, you have one (partial) decoder per byte of your instruction window. All but N of their decode results are effectively thrown away.

That's very wasteful.

The only way out I can see is if determining instruction length is extremely cheap. That doesn't really describe x86 though.

The other aspect is that if you want to keep things cheap, all this logic is bound to add at least one pipeline stage (because you keep it cheap by splitting instruction decode into a first partial decode that determines instruction length followed by a full decode in the next stage). Making your pipeline ~10% longer is a big drag on performance.
No, because proofs have to consist of a finite number of words. Thus there are only countably many proofs of anything. In particular, there are only countably many reals between 0 and 1 which can be expressed in a finite number of words.
It is generally useful and helpful for the discussion to read the article in full before commenting

>None of what happened with this Morales incident has any bearing on the justifiability of what Belarus did on Sunday. That the U.S. and its E.U. allies committed a dangerous international crime in 2013 does not mitigate the criminal nature of similar actions by Belarus or any other country eight years later. The dangers of forcing down airplanes in order to arrest someone who is suspected to be on that plane are manifest. The danger increases, not decreases, as more countries do it.
Except Java has LTS versions, valid for three years, which most Java libraries tend to hold on to.
I don't think the WMD thing was anyone being wrong; rather it was a deliberate lie to justify a war that was wanted for other reasons.

But agreed in general; I think there's a lot of political opposition on the left to the lab-leak theory, in no small part because Trump pushed so hard to blame the Chinese for the virus while in office. Even if unlikely, a lab leak is far from impossible as a cause, and we should talk about it and explore it until evidence conclusively rules it out.
I don't see it that way. Reinventing a mobile OS is a huge undertaking and it makes little sense to do it just as an experiment.

[Also, the article basically talks about how the person doesn't want to learn rust but doesn't think they have a choice not because rust is somehow "right" but because there are a lot of people who want to continue to use rust.

This is exactly the point of this article, and Greenwald made it clear that he's condemning what happened in Belarus and that he's not defending Lukashenko's action in any way.

> There is little doubt that the forced landing of this plane by Belarus, with the clear intention to arrest Protasevich, is illegal under numerous conventions and treaties governing air space. Any forced landing of a jet carries dangers, and safe international air travel would be impossible if countries could force planes flying with permission over their air space to land in order to seize passengers who might be on board. This act by Belarus merits all the condemnation it is receiving.

> None of what happened with this Morales incident has any bearing on the justifiability of what Belarus did on Sunday.
