Plenty of concentration camps didn't have gas chambers.

The tools of killing were bullets, disease, and starvation.

The Nazis ran out of many things, towards the end of the war. But never bullets.

Edit: I have no idea why people are doing the drive by downvote thing here? Maybe you think I'm denying that gas chambers were real?

No. I'm saying there were concentration camps without them, where prisoners were mass-murdered as I described above. That statement is not controversial.

I don't think destroying the gas chambers would have been enough to stop Auschwitz.

> Feeding people isn’t a priority!

Feeding people is 100% the priority, which is why the vast majority of people in the first world have access to food primarily produced by a predominately private food industry.

To the extent that there exists poor people unable to afford food, that’s a problem solved by welfare and subsidies, not by nationalizing food supply chains.

Desktop, using Firefox on Windows, with no-script active. That last part might be the issue - everything seemed to work until the end - it would not let me submit, then I disabled no-script, and I submitted, but it never asked me for contact info?

The no-script might be at fault though. You might consider not using any CDN for scripts, only host locally.

What you're missing is, mainly, the so-called "Trusting Trust" attack, where a compiler is backdoored such that whenever it's used to compile another compiler, the same backdoor is inserted into that compiler. Thus even assuming good intentions on the part of the current Rust maintainers, a backdoor could hypothetically have been inserted into version X's official compiler binaries at some point, which then infected version X+1, which infected version X+2, and so on. I say hypothetically, because IIRC Rust's bootstrap chain has been replicated, including with mrustc, resulting in identical binaries. There is absolutely no need to re-replicate it on every random architecture. (And even if you did want to do so, qemu already exists and can emulate x86, though wasm might be slightly faster.) But some people have strange ideas about how bootstrapping ought to work...

Yeah, in the absence of in-person supervision, there are a lot of safety measures that need to be implemented. For example, making sure that people are at the correct testing distance (via a number of potential feedback mechanisms that we're testing) and making sure that people can't zoom in on the optotypes to cheat.

The psychology of how people relate to their vision -- especially the independence that good vision affords -- is very complex and certainly something I wish that our training spent more time emphasizing. There are patients who come into clinic with relatively minor and non-vision threatening problems who are afraid of imminently going blind, and there are patients on the other end of the spectrum who are imminently going to go blind but are in denial about it (or are not terribly bothered by the possibility.) Handling these scenarios and all the gray spaces inbetween is one of the more challenging parts of delivering eyecare (and healthcare in general.)

Ultimately, we're aiming for clinical accuracy and scalability first, with an understanding that there are lots of underlying incentives and potential roadblocks that we will tackle head on when the time is right.
I suspect much of the population either doesn't type much, or doesn't make much of an effort to type faster. My average is in the 140-160WPM range (to try to type at 40WPM consistently I would have to be deliberately slow, as even one-handed I'll easily go over 60), although I never learned touch-typing formally; I attribute it to spending extensive amounts of time in using IM, which basically forces you to type quickly you want to keep a reasonably natural pace of conversation and not lose your thoughts. Then again, I've interacted with much younger coworkers, many of whom were surprised at the speed at which I could return a reply (in full sentences with punctuation, without abbreviations and such) in a chat, so I'm not sure if the motivation is still there today --- especially with audio/video calls being more common.
> Just because you only need low res versions, doesn't mean you're exempt from copyright.

That's not what I was trying to say. What I meant that the claimant's argument is simply "You did not have a licence to use the images on the CD in that way". Presenting the argument as "the parties were required to contact Juracek to obtain high resolution digital files [and they did not do so]" _seems_ to add a particular significance to the high resolution images, when it's, as you say, irrelevant (what matters is whether they obtained a licence, not the high resolution images). Unless I'm missing something, you could replace paragraph 17 with:

> As a result of the book and photographs and CD-ROM, Juracek licensed copies of various photographs to many different parties who sought to use the photos commercially and the book became a very popular way for architects and designers to obtain exclusive high quality examples of unique decorative surfaces and features. Anyone seeking a license for the photographs from the book or CD-ROM were required to contact Plaintiff to obtain a commercial use license as all rights were reserved as set forth in the copyright notice.

and have the same effect. It just seemed like a needlessly complicated way to make the same argument.

I didn't claim that we have solved or will solve the diversity problem, but I did articulate in the README a few ways that I thought Yatima might contribute.

I also don't agree with your characterization of Haskell, Rust and OCaml as being "high-barrier-to-entry" compared to Python. Personally, I find languages like Python much harder to work with given how arbitrary and detail oriented they are. I think for a lot of people that kind of language is fine. Those people are already well served by existing resources.

The people I want to reach are people who have not yet been exposed to a presentation of mathematics or computer science as an elegant unified field, where proofs are programs and theorems are types. This is what I would have responded well to as a kid who detested Math and CS well into my late teens. Much of what is marketed as "accessible" or "educational" in programming languages comes across as patronizing, a lot of visual programming languages are guilty of this. That approach would also not have worked for me.

So what I'm doing instead is building a language that I would thought was awesome when I was 12. Will that work for everyone, who knows? Probably not. But it would have worked for me, and if there are other people out there in the same situation, then that's good enough motivation for me to keep building.

I vouched for this because I think it's unwise advice, and I'd like to be able to talk about why.

Wanting stuff hurts. It's as if there's a deficit in you, and somewhere outside yourself, there's some key that, if you could obtain it, would bring you back to contentedness. This is a dangerous pattern because the keys only ever work for a little while. That strategy involves being on the hook to keep obtaining these external keys as needed. It's stressful.

Secondly, and this might seem strange to some people, but seeing that something would be beneficial to accomplish can be completely separate from wanting it. When you want something, it hurts when you don't do it. You can put down the hurting and still accomplish whatever it is, if you believe it's a good goal.

Long story short, advising people to want stuff goes against at least 26 centuries of advice from e.g. Buddhists. That's OK, but please make sure you have very good reasons for disagreeing if you oppose that many people.
They're talking about potential backdoors, perhaps guised as misconfiguration. Later vPro versions would connect back to a VPN.

You shouldn't just trust Intel that it doesn't respond to network access if you tell it to nicely.
Lasers and masks, no. Fuses, yes. But fuses are just non-volatile memory. The fuses are not connected directly to the hardware. There is either logic or microcode that loads the fuse values into registers that actually configure the hardware features on and off.

So the question becomes whether you can access those registers, or otherwise affect the fuse loading process, using these features. That depends on the design (e.g. whether those registers are accessible and not locked down after initial load).

Fuses (and antifuses) are the only form of nonvolatile, programmable memory available in these process nodes (as they require no extra masks or processing steps beyond a regular CMOS process), that is why they are used. They are write-once memory, and they are based on breaking or making electrical connections, but they are not literally used to directly reconfigure chip wiring; that hasn't been the case for many years now. Modern fuse memory is just one more functional block you throw into your chip, and it comes with its own requirements, read amplifiers, etc (the fuses aren't actually "binary"; what happens is the electrical resistance increases, but you still need some analog-ish circuitry to set threshold levels to read them reliably, and carefully controlled programming voltages and timings, etc).
