The argument as described seems weak: "Combination of words $X said on Any News Outlet at any time mean its impossible for anyone to ever criticize $X being said by anyone else in any context at any time after. If it happens, Politicized Media."

I wonder if there's a bit more nuanced way to make this argument, I'm amenable to it, but...it reads more as American culture war than a discussion
It was also political because of the punitive measures sought by those pointing fingers to China— ranging from 10 trillion in reparations to war. Rather than saying hey, maybe this gain of function business was a mistake & we should just do it in the supercomputers like with nukes or something.

Personally, I don't really understand the focus on pinning down the exact reason this happened. Stop GoF research and shut down wet markets. Stop encroaching on wilderness as best we can while we're at it. Do all the things.
Norway just launched the satellite NorSat-3 with the purpose of locating boats that turn off AIS. I see that it passes over this area in Agentina several times each day.

Gradual Typing in Practice (PyCon US, 2021)
Usually it’s more like 25-50 years. Sometimes it can be longer.

Figuring out how to bulk manufacture something is often just as hard as the initial discovery. There are a ton of technologies that are in the literature but can’t be purchased because they are too hard to manufacture.

Simple, a financial crime.

Just because people try to be decoupled from the government doesn't mean laws don't apply to them.

Also as a side not operating a mixer without taking protocol about who used it when in which way is pretty clear cut money laundering. Hence why mixers are either exchanges which take your personalities or operated as much anonymous as possible and from countries in which they believe they can avoid the law. (EDIT: Yes there probably are people which operate a mixer without such precautions, and they might end up pretty bad if a country purses money laundering charges and it doesn't even need to be their country.)
> that’s how you kill a city center.

This is a function of American cities being poorly designed. You are expected to arrive by car from the sprawling suburbs. I agree with your exceptions, NYC, Chicago: but I'd add, almost every city in Europe, such as the grandparent was talking about.

If this poor design is killed, hopefully something better can arise.
I don't know :) But for instance on the Z80, even though there's a clear opcode bit pattern (see http://www.z80.info/decoding.htm), any holes in the instruction set that make no sense have been "plugged" with official special-case instructions.

For instance the opcode 0x76 should be "LD (HL),(HL)", but instead this opcode has been reused for the HALT instruction.

The Z80 has undocumented instructions too (for instance in the prefix-ranges for the IX and IY indexed instructions), but those behave the same as documented instructions, except that they cost more cycles. This seems to indicate that the instruction decoding on the Z80 works quite a bit different than on the 6502.
Honestly, your money is not worth the congestion, noise and air pollution it requires. It’s a real shame your locality does not provide good rail connections.
What questions do you have? Would be happy to answer everything here.
Yes, but this still adds to the atrophy of local manufacturing expertise.

This did not start with China. Japan did it after WWII (remember "cheap Japanese"?). Korea did it after Japan.

Now, both Korea and Japan are becoming known for high-quality, pricey stuff.

Many Korean and Japanese corporations manufacture in China, Thailand, and Vietnam.

China is headed that way too, but it may take longer.
Those are some big claims without a shred of supporting evidence.

I like it as an example of inferential process; here's what we can see the chip do in response to inputs, here's what we think that must mean for its design. With the ability to go look at the hardware and many explanations of it to go look at later and see how and why the observed effects happen.
Bad code is happening for non-malicious reasons. I’ll suggest these two being the main factors, and I’ll concede that it is conjecture, but I’m drawn to these two since I assume good-faith amongst all actors:

1)

Everyone needs to pump out all of their bad code before they get to their decent code. Imagine your lifetime array of code, it will look like this [bad, bad, ...(lots of bad), bad, good, bad, good, good, ...(lots of good), good]. As you can see, you’ll have to pop (poop) all the bad out before you get to good. Some people have a smaller length array due to other factors (talent), but even so, there is bad in front of the array.

What are the implications of this? That should be obvious. This industry hires people straight out of college or people in their mid 20s to be project leads. You do the math.

2)

Lack of suffering. Many people haven’t had to toil in someone else’s codebase. Many people are given green-field projects that are scrapped quickly, at which point the business (or another business) gives a brand new project. Constantly building shit from scratch by yourself means you don’t understand pain. Go work in someone else’s garbage app to feel pain. Then you will rethink what good code is. Good code is not painful, and the definition of ‘not painful’ will be obvious to the survivors of pain.

Solution:

Continue to crap out your bad code in non impactful areas of the codebase and avoid crapping in critical parts. You have to crap somewhere, and that is understandable. Lastly, don’t turn down the experience of working in someone else’s labyrinth. The experience is valuable.

Not true. Go to Leiden Netherlands and see how economically vibrant a small city can become if it incentives efficient land use and limits traffic in city centre in favour of pedestrian paths an public transit.
People dont call it the way it should be called: "gain of function" is basically biological weapon research.

You make a new disease and (supposedly) try to find a treatment for it. Yet somehow we dont hear about new vaccines or drugs found in those labs.

Since research on biological weapons is banned by conventions - bad actors try to overcome this by using non military labs.
Russia had Biopreparat who tested multiple viruses and bacteria and then made warheads to deliver them (long after it was banned). USA's Reston "accident" with monkeys also looks like reaserch on ebola. China makes "gain of function" in Wuhan, sometimes 300 meters from the wet market testrd as place of origin of the COVID19 virus.

What is gained here? Only military can gain something.

Those scientists are enemies od humanity - making biological weapons, but nobody will do anything about that. Because supposedly this research can lead to new drugs. Well... where are those new drugs or vaccines?
China, Russia and probably USA have those labs - a lot of money is spent, yet all real vaccines and drugs come from private labs. Not military.

You can read Ken Alibek's book on his work as one of the heads of Russian biological weapons program (hidden as normal research): the guy got infected with a militarized strain of tularemia - and instead of reporting it and going yo quarantaine, he just took some antibiotics and called in sick. The negligence of someone who knows about bio weapons was astounding.
You cannot rule out that same did not happen in China. In fact the press points to it: gain of funcion done in BSL2 labs.

Not to mention that USA reasearchers are on China's payroll, what looks like plain treason.
Cycling in the rain is only a huge problem when the infrastructure is crap. Riding in a flooded gutter, getting splashed by passing motorists and being left-hooked by people who can’t see clearly through a wet windshield is dangerous and unpleasant. Cycling on a dedicated bike path with good drainage, mud guards and a waterproof is fine, imo.

This is exactly what they must NOT do. If one is going to criticize, criticize the actual bad concepts, not the (poorly defined) paradigm. OOP and FP are effectively undefinable, and rightly so since they have outlived their usefulness as vehicles for introducing their respective "bunch of concepts".

Nobody's going to agree in the modern era what OOP or FP encompass, and anyone who attempts to define them will rightly be lambasted for it.

But we CAN agree on the definition and argue over the merits of concepts such as inheritance, immutability, lazy evaluations, closures, encapsulation, monads, etc. And the fact that languages are taking concepts from both "camps" shows how they were never actually opposed; merely components of different schools of thought that happened to contain some incompatible or opposing concepts.
Rest client is great, but a lot of the cool (emacs) kids have moved over to verb-mode [1]. To be fair, you can probably achieve something similar with org-mode and rest-client, but the verb-mode integration is very nice.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, there isn't yet an offline version of this, although I've wanted to do one for the longest of times. But thanks for mentioning, it gives me a pulse of what folks are looking for.

I was actually using the JetBrains version of this idea until a few years ago. The thing that put me off there was that the results weren't visible instantly. I had to click and open another file to see the results. Having a split pane open with the results was something I sorely missed.

This all assumes that the limitations of our universe are the same as the limitations on the hardware outside the simulation.

We can run Conway's game, but a being inside that simulation, contemplating it's existence, would have no way to even begin to think about quantum computing.

The rules are just too different.

That being said, I almost look at the finite speed of light, and quantum effects as shortcuts to simulation.

The light speed limit allows greater parallelization by reducing the number of particles inside the local light cone. Likewise, quantum effects seem like a compiler optimization where a calculation isn't performed until the result is needed.

It's fun to think about, but I doubt we will ever know for sure either way.

Ya, no. Nothing wrong with hunting straight from nature. The key word is sustainable.

If you live on the ocean, you have every human right to fish fo nourishment. The issue here is militarized mass scale industrial fishing, illegally raping reassures to feed foreign people, mostly landlocked people sushi rolls and fish fillet.

What we need is a culture that eats local. Its a consumption issue. Farmed fish are most of the time also destructive to the environment, they are fed less than ideal and sustainable feeds, are not as healthy to eat, and most importantly are not healthy and happy fish, they are slaves in horrible life cycles.
He's right. Masks don't make much of a difference at preventing you from contracting covid. It's easy for you to say criticize Fauci's words when you don't get blamed if half the doctors quit or get covid because they don't have enough masks.

So he somehow got genuine batteries from ‘China’ despite Apple not selling them?

Seems like counterfeits.

He doesn’t actually explain how they aren’t and mostly just attacks Apple for not supporting their old computers - a reasonable complaint, but obvious doesn’t have anything to do with whether these are counterfeit or not.

Also he says ‘Apple and customs’ but presents no evidence of Apple’s involvement.

Seems like a guy who bought a bunch of counterfeit batteries and is trying to blame Apple. The story doesn’t add up.

It's funny that you defend your view using Haskell, as I was replying with Haskell in mind.

If you use the state monad, you encode local side effects. Then you use runState in a function that has a non-monadic type--a pure function.

Feel free to argue that the state monad is only having pure expressions because it can be represented using only pure functions and partial evaluation. For all practical purposes it is used to write code that exerts (local) side effects into the state maintained by the state monad.

You can a function in say, OCaml, that fills an array via mutation using only function arguments to deduct the contents, and then returns that array. That function is pure (it exerts no side effects outside and is not exposed to side effects from the outside, its result value only depends on the function argument values). Yet how is that not using mutation, non-referentially transparent parts inside?

You can write the same function with a mutable vector in Haskell (Data.Vector.Mutable, using the ST monad). How is it not exactly the same code as the one in OCaml except for the types that guarantee the purity? Yes, it may be using pure expressions underneath to guide the type system to enable the proof of purity. But does that change what I said? Both to the programmer and (after optimization) to the machine the code is using mutation. You can model mutation using only pure functions. That may be useful in some ways, but you can also take a C program, represent every memory address as an entry in a tree of immutable nodes, the outside world as an abstract entity with versions, and recreate it with only pure expressions. That may be what is useful in some contexts for developing proofs or to implement type systems, but is this relevant for a programmer interested in writing more functional programs? Why not just say that using ST is using local mutation (that the type system can guarantee will not leak outside) and be done with it?
Ever heard of RIMPAC?

It's a yearly naval exercise conducted by many countries in the Pacific. In the event of a naval war with China, they would have to fight not only the US but Australia, Canada, Japan, Philippines, and countless other countries.

It would not go well for them, I assure you.
The RPi4 GPU is very weak for the tricks that Dolphin does. Good luck to get Ubershaders running on that for example.

The CPU isn't much of an issue.

Emulating a platform at such a low level in real-time is very heavy resource-wise, by design.
The relative prevalence is relevant if you want effective regulations. If the EU requirement for constant AIS transmissions is ineffective, then it's unlikely that political pressure on the Chinese government would result in a more effective policy. If, however, the owners of those Spanish vessels are fined enough to force them to end their illegal fishing, then there's hope that introducing similar regulations in China would also effectively curb illegal fishing by Chinese vessels.

Aside: There were actually 316 Chinese vessels with gaps in AIS transmission, 71 Taiwanese, 36 South Korean, 27 Spanish, 5 Argentine and 5 unknown ones.

It's really both. At least some of the marketing hype, maybe most of the hype, in the scientific community tends to coalesce around ideas that are obvious already, or that are on everyone's minds, or are appealing for very risk-averse reasons (something that allows one to churn out papers). The funding is risk averse along these same lines, in that it tends to follow slightly dated hype.
Cool idea —- also makes me realize that if GitHub can see commit history of all repos, then Microsoft has a lot of partly identified info on personnel movement across teams within lots of companies and also across companies

Isn't it pretty unlikely for them to try to use force to back up fishing boats secretly popping into Argentina's waters? That would be making a big noise to continue doing something that the fishing fleet was trying to do quietly, basically calling attention to their shady behavior. And wouldn't using force there be close to an invasion over one source of cheaper fish? That would be a really aggressive escalation, might alienate many countries, etc.

Surely China has bigger fish to fry (rimshot) with its foreign relations.
It is interesting that it is no longer an algorithmic consensus among machines but rather a consensus among humans. Could anyone comment on how such "reversal" type discussions take place and how many actors are involved?
