If someone is tenuously making the "yellow emojis are actually asians" argument, they're certainly acting in bad faith, but I guess bad faith is what got us here in the first place. I find myself pretty unwilling to accommodate bad faith, especially because by definition bad faith will always make increasingly ridiculous demands.
While the post covers quite a bit of ground, it feels (to me) like it conflates knowledge representation, language, biological systems (i.e., the messiness of implementation), computability, and realism.

I understand that many of those well-developed fields which exist on their own terms, have standard methods, standard questions and standard approaches to moving towards answers.

The article jump between these fields to ask and grope for an answer to a simple question that in many ways can't be asked or answered in these fields.

One thing to consider is that present day computers can follow the mechanical production of mathematical propositions close to completely. But computers have a lot of trouble producing or following arguments like this, in "natural language", which have a definite logic to them but whose operation is not based on only explicit, codified rules.

Edit: To me, this sort of speculation is what philosophy actually should be doing. The questions that are "ill-defined but compelling" are the questions that have lead significant intellectual progress. How Zeno's paradox lead (or at least related) to the invention of calculus, how Einstein's thought experiments lead to relativity, etc.

No, most private companies are not monopolies (although many would not mind I guess).

It seems online advertising has a strong network effect[1], where website owners use Google ads because that's where most advertisers are and advertisers use Google ads because it has most reach (and therefore tracking). This naturally creates a monopoly, just like with Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, AirBnB, Uber etc.

Yes, but OP's point is that GMO has been mostly used to enable chemical use. I am inclined to agree with them, without data.

BT corn, roundup ready corn and beans, and other herbicide tolerant strains of common field crops are very, very prevalent and enable the use of not just more glyphosate to compensate for resistance in the weeds, but also accompanying chemicals for the same reasons.
This is what containers are for. Wine is nothing special, it just installs a Windows userspace container alongside your existing system.

This is a common misconception. LTS versions of Java are strictly a JDK vendor thing. There is no "LTS" for openjdk.

So, while Oracle, AdoptOpenJDK, Azul, and other might have LTS releases of their JDKs, you get no support from the OpenJDK source. That means, Linux Distros would be in charge of backporting security fixes/support for their distributions of the JDK if they want LTS.

All the data on suicides I have seen so far shows that there are no significant changes to the suicide rates outside existing trends.

For your other point about excess mortality being caused by lockdowns, you can view charts of excess mortality here: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/

You can see that some countries, e.g. Norway had lockdowns but did not incur any severe excess mortality - but note that this only proves that you can have lockdowns with no excess, not that every lockdown is equal.
Why would most commercial software be on data center computers? Where do these assumptions come from?
I agree, and since it's VC backed it also feels like this is going to end up as SaaS for your terminal.

I would honestly feel less skeptical if this was a Show HN and the founders had just organically launched an app that did autocomplete and asked for some money to buy a license. I'd put that along side similar attempts like Xiki.

VC-backed changes it though, it feels different. It'll start with a subscription model and if this requires elevated privileges to run as what could essentially be a keylogger, it won't be long before the privacy promise goes away and the marketing team takes hold.
Is it misleading to say that the CIA did mind control experiments on US citizens and that it lead to domestic terrorism?

Because those are conspiracy theories, and they are both true.
>kind of general problem solving

Could you elaborate on this distinction? At the superficial level, "general problem solving" is exactly how I describe engineering in general. The example of tightening screws is just a specific example of a fastening problem. In that context, codified standards are an industry consensus on how to solve a specific problem. Most people wrenching on their cars are not following ASME torque guidelines but somebody building a spacecraft should be. It helps define the distinction of a professional build for a specific system. Fastening is the "general problem"; fastening certain materials for certain components in certain environments is the specific problem that the standards uniquely address.

For software, there are quantifiable measures. As an example, there are some sorting algorithms that are objectively faster than others. For those systems that it matters in terms of risk, it probably shouldn't be left up to the subjective eye of an individual programmer, just like the spacecraft should rely on a technician's subjective opinion of that a bolt is "meh, tight enough."

>I'm worried we will just codify subjective opinions about general problem solving.

Ironically, this is the same attitude in many circles of traditional engineering. People who don't want adhere to industry standards have their own subjective ideas about should solve the problem. Standards aren't always right, but it creates a starting point to 1) identify a risk and 2) find an acceptable way to mitigate it.

>Instead we have to accept that our discipline is different from the others

I strongly disagree with this and I've seen this sentiment used (along with "it's just software") to justify all kinds of bad design choices.

Agreed. I just wish their entire account system wasn’t messed up. I can’t get YouTube premium family with my domain account (which I also setup emails for my kids on), so I need to use a second free gmail account for myself and my kids.
To be fair there were definitely still bugs in Om as well as om.next (and both were marked as being experimental and of alpha quality) - however Fulcro came along and more less took the ideas and took them further and far as I know is actively maintained.

Do we have to relitigate this every time? Do you think we’re going to advance the conversation around this by you raising this? As someone who even only tangentially follows Tesla & no stake, it’s really tiring.
Probably because they planned a date to stop manufacturing radar cars, and may not be able to easily push that date back. They may have cancelled contracts, burned down supplies, re-tooled production lines etc.

Or perhaps they just don't want to give customers hardware they won't need but will still add weight and potential maintenance. Or, cynically why pay for putting radar units into cars that won't need them.

It was a fringe theory pushed largely but not exclusively by racists and opportunists that wanted to paint China as the bad guy and shield the previous administration and other politicians from blame for how they reacted to the pandemic.

Totally independent of that, the general scientific community seemed to be much more opposed to the lab theory early on than they are now. It still doesn't appear to be much evidence for it beyond circumstantial stuff, but it is a possibility that more people are engaging with.

Combine these two and it isn't surprising that these platforms cracked down on this type of talk early and are slow to allowing it to start happening again.
You're touching on an important point, which is that users are essentially powerless in these online platforms. They are authoritarian entities whose interests align with users only incidentally, if at all. I do not think the state is better, as the state is generally captured by commercial interests anyhow.
What does this even mean? Pushing a Mac-exclusive app is hard enough, now you're further delineating between different "customer profiles"? It's an open-source app, it's "customer profile" is everyone with the means to install it, and their developers are the same people who use it on a daily basis.

Even still, your purported "corporate developers" would probably be more interested in privacy than your typical client, considering that corporations literally pay tens of thousands of dollars for proprietary tools like this, just so they have someone to hold liable if it breaks.

In either case, privacy is not a choice when you're working this low on the stack. You need to be operating with the lowest possible performance and telemetry options, or else you start to compromise the value proposition of your product. I wouldn't be surprised if this comment section acts as a good wake-up call to the core development team to switch their priorities, because developers don't agree with their current paradigm.
Another good reason to use uBlock and/or youtube-dl/invidious.
Then we would just have the same fight over what is considered evidence.

Not that I believe the election was stolen, but I think the lab leak is the most credible, to a great degree because it was censored so badly earlier.

> I appreciate the caveat here as I very much do not and believe that the concept of kibibytes being distinct from kilobytes are a scam perpetuated by hard-drive and floppy disk manufacturers as a way to cut costs while still advertising the same storage space

Except that you just said that "32768->32K" involves truncation. What is 32*1024? 32 KiB is exactly, no truncation involved, 32768.

(BTW, kibibytes are distinct from kilobytes because 1024 is distinct from 1000. Similarly, 1048576 is distinct from 1000000.)

> Truncation is a totally valid way of representing numbers [with lower precision]

No. Rounding is.

Once again. THEY, the authors of the post, use unit multipliers of 1024 in every other figure on the page. Except in this one particular figure where you claim they intentionally use 1000. I frankly don't care whether they define KB as 1000B or 1024B. Either way works. But they should, at the very least, be consistent within the space of a single blog post.

For html buttons and other newer input elements specifically the css styling is really hard to get consistent/looking/working across devices and browsers or just flat out doesn't work.

Maybe developers should lean into just leaving the native styles, but it can look bad and present its own problems in tightly styled mobile sites or apps.

I might propose a better solution is expanding accessibly, aria, etc so we can make modern sites & elements more accessible.

The concept of what a website is has changed a LOT.

I don't think we can (and personally don't want to) stop the train towards expanding custom elements, components, intense dom stuff.

So instead we should prioritize making it more accessible.
I’ve never heard the term WET before but that’s exactly what I do.

The other key thing I think is not to over-engineer abstractions you don’t need yet. But to try and leave ‘seams’ where it’s obvious how to tease code about if you need to start building abstractions.

From the blog--

>> This is likely an indication that the electrical coupling responsible for Rowhammer is a property of distance, effectively becoming stronger and longer-ranged as cell geometries shrink down

From the paper (bottom of page 13)--

>> ... we saw mappings from [1] that we used for this work. This suggests that the published findings about distance >1 Rowhammer are simply a result of not taking the correct mapping into account. Given that the patters we found appear to be distance 2 attacks, our industry partners were skeptical about them.

These bits tell a much bigger story to me. It's interesting that both the researchers and "industry partners" had this slip under their nose.

Part of it might be, as Google claims, shrinking cell sizes. Whereas previous > distance 1 attacks were purely hypothetical, or at least too noisy, as even the researchers note that double-sided was far more reliable [1], times have apparently changed since 2018, which itself is an interesting hypothesis. Kinda like with crypto [2], what's old may become new again.

TRR (for all its faults [3]) still provided some mitigation, as Google notes, but apparently only against distance-1 attacks.

The other part is-- Verification wise, it's not difficult to scale verifying TRR's security properties, so part of me is surprised that the "industry partners were skeptical about [distance-2 attacks]".

You would imagine that a robust verification environment would do a little more due-diligence when checking Rowhammer mitigations. Assuming you *have* a verification environment, which I also realize is a tall order :)

Of course, I realize the initial mitigations were already costly. I'm not saying the solution should have been more TRR-- I'm saying that proper security testing should have at minimum detected distance-N attacks.

Of course^2, hindsight is always easy.

This is such a false spin on what was actually happening. It was only a year ago. It isn't hard to remember. People were banned/downvoted to oblivion for merely suggesting the lab leak was a credible theory, not for claiming it was definitely the 100% truth. Stop gaslighting.
