> Their CTO presided over DigiCert, who botched 23,000 orthogonally integrated, outside-of-the-box, innovative security certificates[0] through their bad practices and garbage organization while meeting committed timeframes.

I had forgotten about this incident. Somehow I thought this happened before 2018. Anyway, I'm not sure how any of this is DigiCert's fault. Maybe they should have had mandatory audits of resellers to make sure they didn't do stupid things like have the private keys for customer certificates... But given that the reseller sent the private keys to the CA, that's pretty good evidence the keys are compromised, and worthy of revocation.
A right without a remedy isn't a right at all.

> But then, this is a gov't that does not trust its citizens to raise their own children, or even historically to decide how many kids to have.

The Chinese government is worse than most others, but not for this reason. All governments and societies make all kinds of "tyrannical" rules about raising children, in the name of limiting harm to children. This is no different.

In Germany, the government does not trust parents to home-school their children

In the US, legal adults between the ages of 18 and 21 can decide to join the Army, travel to exotic lands and die there. The same adults are not trusted to make the decision of buying and drinking beer.
Oh thanks for that. Indeed it seems to be a phase change of resin in pine logs.

I suspect it's more efficient. The Amazon video mentioned that they found randomizing bin locations to be more efficient than any grouping. That's not particularly surprising when one considers that many non-physical storage algorithms benefit from randomization, but it's kind of fascinating that the physical storage of goods is a chaotic mess apart from the database that maps products to bins.
Here we see an article in which a tech company is using AI in order to protect people from addiction. And we have the Western free-speech aficionados complaining about surveillance while their society is practically crumbling due to the freedom inherent in it (read drug abuse, social media addiction, sex, alcohol and porn addiction). They couldn't get themselves to wear simple masks during covid because of a requirement for freedom.

I am an Eastern-educated immigrant who lives in the West. Honestly, I believe freedom is important in a lot of things. However, allowing companies like Coca Cola, Heineken, Robinhood, Youtube and Facebook to operate in the name of giving everyone freedom is one of the worst decisions in the Western world. These companies have exploited human biases to an extent at which our freedom is a manipulated freedom which works according to how they want.

The Western concept of freedom above everything is a joke in modern society. It is based on the premise that everyone is smart enough to take decisions for themselves. However, due to inherent human biases, this is practically impossible. What this false assumption leads to is companies like Coca Cola, Heineken (or whatever other alcohol brands are popular), Facebook essentially ruling how we spend our time, money, health and energy. The Western concept of freedom above everything else is flawed
Actually at big ones you need IT clearance to adopt new versions, as you are only allowed to use what everyone is using.

Hence plenty of companies still on Java 8, baby steps adopting C++11, Python 2.7, .NET Framework 4.8 is now being deployed, and similar....

Not inside the private homes, but in 2008, Tabaco vending machines with facial recognition feature to verify the age(20+ years old) are deployed in Japan.

The result was amusing. It was busted by picture of adult face, or by kids moving facial muscles.
Psychedelics (and all mind-altering substances) are analogous to camera (or Photoshop) filters. A filter works by taking an image, and processing it... The processed image typically loses information in pursuit of an 'effect'.

It's an illusion!

The original is always richer, more nuanced, detailed, colorful and REAL.

Humans seem to be obsessed with the illusion of mind 'enhancement', whether through drugs, alcohol or caffeine. It all reduces to this: an inablity to appreciate reality.
I doubt their salary is that high, btw.
> Animation: Maya and Blender are comparable

I’m a VFX artist who loves Blender but unfortunately they’re not even close when it comes to animation, even less so rigging (the process of making a 3D mesh animatable). Maya allows for much more sophisticated rigs, and to have them perform at much higher framerates than Blender, which is crucial for animation workflows.

So far Blender is a much better Maya substitute for modelling and rendering than for rigging and animation.
That is not the point. By manipulating the Apple stock price the system sees and acts upon you can extract huge amounts of money. The actual price is irrelevant in this case.
Beautifully done. Everything was clear and intelligible.

I think it's cheap energy. In places like Japan they've been using heat pumps a long time
In Northern Europe heat pumps are now pretty much standard for new homes. They reduce heating bills quite dramatically compared to other technology. In particular if combined with solar power.

One big advantage is that they can also be run in reverse so you could cool the house in summer (although you might need a special heat pump to do this, especially to separate from the hot water). In areas where it gets very cool, one can also use connect the heat pump to the ground as heat sink which improves efficiency even more.

As language on itself, it is a great achivement.

For programming in it on anger, only when the underlying framework is also written in Typescript.

It is so liberating to just code in JavaScript with a plain <script/> include, without the pleothora of FE build tools.

Maybe one day browsers will actually replace JavaScript with Typescript.
It's a synthetic stock which is overcollateralized by stablecoins. So for example, if $100 dollars worth of the stock is issued, someone else had to lock up $150 dollars worth of USD to issue it. And when the price rises (and hence collateralization ratio drops), the issuer has to constantly top up collateral or run the risk of them being liquidated.

How do they get price to track the real stock? By simple incentives. If the synthetic stock is trading lower than the real price, people have incentive to buy it. If it is trading above, people can easily mint new stock and sell it.

There are lots of benefits to this:
1. It allows people who typically might not have access to the US market to get price exposure to US companies

2. It allows 24/7 trading

3. US stocks are just the start, before more innovative synthetic products can be built on top.
MAL was actually my source for thinking on this subject. In combination with the book Otaku: Database Animals[0] (anime fans catalogue the hell out of things, and this extends to tracking their anime and ratings) I realized you should be able to put together some very strong recommendations by scraping the MAL dataset — because the data should be fairly honest.

And then the realization that really the best recommendation isn’t to forge a new customized list altogether — it’s to simply find the most similar users and recommend items from their list. (MAL has/had a cosine similarity function for this, but no way to search because it’s basically an n^2 algorithm on 4M users; apparently they offered it at some point, and quickly found it untenable. That was what really kicked me off)

And then the realization that if I found users with similar taste, then shouldn’t they be friends? So then it becomes a MAL friendship algorithm..

Did a bunch of research on recommendation algorithms and weighting strategies, scraped most of the MAL users, stored it in a database, and then promptly procrastinated on actually implementing the algorithms. Been sitting on that for like 3 years now :|

This seems to be the strategy the UK is taking. In the next few weeks they plan to be lifting most restrictions and mask requirements. They estimate cases could reach 100,000 per day, but due to the number of people already vaccinated the hospitalisations should be manageable. Feels a bit like they are going all in, hope they have a good hand and aren't just bluffing...

So you're not arguing against me, you're arguing against someone that's not here that I never cited?

From the linked paper (which is very interesting):

> Financially, the "economic calculation problem" of von Mises (1920) and Hayek (1935) suggests, among other things, that even if a free market is not perfectly efficient, it will certainly be more efficient than a regulatory or government alternatives. In other words, even if mispricings occasionally occur, most of the time they are smaller than any other alternative system.

> Both of those arguments are similar in their domains but neither applies to the results of this paper. Whether markets are efficient or not, and whether P=NP or not, there is no doubt that there will be markets that can allocate resources very close to efficiently and there will be algorithms that can solve problems very close to efficiently. The results of this paper should not be interpreted as support for government intervention into the market; the fact that market efficiency and computational efficiency are linked suggests that government should no more intervene in the market or regulate market participants than it should intervene in computations or regulate computer algorithms.

So basically the author does not argue that markets are suboptimal at distributing resources and even goes on to state that a government should not intervene. The paper basically demonstrates that if P!=NP then no system can achieve true efficiency, and argues that markets achieve at least as much efficiency as any other system through approximation.

You list the arguments you'd make defending the idea that planning can outperform markets, but you don't actually make the arguments. So I'll ask.

Where is the duplication of labor in markets? What is your argument that markets cause intrinsic crashes based on? why do markets necessitate intellectual property? I don't believe they do. People traded for centuries before the concept of intellectual property was invented. What is it you mean by "infinite growth"? There is ambiguity there that is often misunderstood, there is creation of wealth which is things like inventing the wheel, inventing the airplane, things that are real growth (and I'd add, preclude intellectual property) that are deeply connected to free markets, and then there is the concept of infinite growth of an economy in scale, something that is not necessary in a market. The two are often conflated.

Also is it possible, even probable, that the problems that plague implementations of planning are symptoms of my argument, and will structurally plague all implementations due to the limitations inherent in central planning systems I've laid out in this thread?
i think a better analogy is rotating an image in photoshop. it lets you see the picture in a different perspective. psychedelics make it easier to view yourself from a different perspective

Its worth noting that you can combine an on-demand (tankless) hot water system with at tank. The on demand system heats the water and stores it in the tank (which is not a water heater). The tank itself, since it has no heating elements, can be _very_ thermally efficient. You get the benefits of both systems (though it does cost more to install, obviously)
New in Russia, Kaspersky was used to be known as one of the places where the smartest, math-savvy developers went. So either they have completely changed in the last few years, or it was completely intentional.
The comic is still accurate and always will be. It's just a mathematical law, even though it uses a popular display of it.

What you are wondering about is the size of base of the exponentiation. Let's look into that.

If you use individual, unrelated letters, this is 26 (or 52 when you allow uppercase, or 62 if you also allow numbers). At e.g. 12 letter, this is 62 to the power of 12. At 16 letters, it is 62 to the 16.

If you use words (as the comic proposes), then the dictionary size will be the base (in this case, 4000 or so). You have fewer words, so entropy is 4000 to the 4.

If you use phonologically grouped words or syllables, the base size is their number. I'm not a linguist, but I'd guess it is somewhere around 100 or so. If a syllable is 2 to 3 letters long and you use 32 letters, you get something like 12 syllables. Entropy is 100 to the 12.
Reality isnt always worth appreciating
It's been long since I talked to a SK guy, but around 2010 it was pretty obvious that SK was half western half eastern, and much more free than china (no SK person ever expressed anxiety or fear of speaking on internet, chinese people did so very rapidly)

This will be the case in the next couple of years. Wall boxes are inherently smart (that is, controllable). So as a sink, the concept works somewhat already. But most cars won't be empty all the time. Also as source the 50kWh will only be usable as an emergency backup for the owner of the vehicle and only if they have the infrastructure to consume directed current. No one will let their own battery drain for the greater good. For public use cases people won't offer to unload more than maybe half of the capacity, realistically maybe 25% on average.
You got me ;)

Here we go again :-).

Now a days I've become a big proponent of "Talk is cheap, show me the code", not just in s/w field but in general.

If someone says "I did it in 3 days and here is how I went about it" that will lend them more authority and also lead to all kinds of interesting conversations and learnings.

Mind you, I used to make similar comments but over the years as I introspected I realised there's not much to be learnt by building castles in the air and talking about it from the sidelines.

As they say, in theory there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is.

Edit: More content.
Insisting that the reality a depressed person experiences is "reality" is myopic.

How many filters affect your experience that you're completely unaware of? Tons!!! What is really real, and how can you ascertain what's "reality" and what isn't?

Now, the way I think of psychedelics (and the way they worked for me) was that they removed a shroud — a bad filter, if you will — from my depressed mind. I was at -2 exposure, and with the help of psychedelics and a psychologist I was able to get back to right around 0.

Now, I'm actually able to appreciate "reality", or at least what I see of it. What's wrong with that?
Were I?

So here is my argument, maybe those developers should bother to actually learn about what they are trying to do in first place.
I’m just trying to imagine this world, thanks. It’s absurd enough without me absurdifying it further.

>I’m done arguing with a throwaway account if you’re going to be intentionally naive.

Don't interpret logical reality as counter-narrative naivete. I know it's in style to do this in 2021.

>“It’s not racist because it doesn’t specifically talk about race” is logical cowardice.

It's logical fact. If it doesn't specifically discriminate against race, a characteristic of race, etc., the law is by definition logically not racist.

The existence of inequity does not prove the existence of inequality.

>The rest of your comment is similarly tortured.

Similarly factual and logical, yes.

>That some POC succeed despite racism does not mean racism doesn’t exist.

Similarly, that some POC don't succeed despite the laws not being racist does not mean racism exists.
Thats not really how psychedelics work. I would say the experience can teach you a lot about how you mind operates. I hear things like “ego”, “categories” or “meaning” start to dissolve on Psilocybin for instance. The experience is apparently quite exhausting and not really suitable to “enhance” reality for any stretch of time. What I think happens you learn something about yourself and that can also teach you something about your relationship with reality.
> One big advantage is that they can also be run in reverse

I don't get why this is an advantage. That's just plain old air conditioning, which is genreally considered to be a wasteful, energy guzzling luxury in colder climates.

The heat pump hype is a bit puzzling to me. Here's a TreeHugger article which puts it better than I can: https://www.treehugger.com/why-are-there-so-many-fist-pumps-...
> That article mentions nothing about code signing

From the article:

"... it appears that a full trusted boot chain (TF-A) is implemented from the early stage ROM bootloader all the way down to the Linux operating system."

> the GPL 2 doesn't have anything that would prevent Tivoization.

From the GPLv2:

"... plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html

From the Software Freedom Conservancy blog post about the GPLv2 installation requirements:

"GPLv2 assures, to the purchaser of an embedded product, their absolute right to receive the information necessary to install a modified version of the GPLv2'd works."

https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/mar/25/install-gplv2/Fro...

Of course, that doesn't mean that the proprietary software must continue to function after modifying the GPL software, apparently even the GPLv3 allows what Tivo did. From a presentation about GPLv3 on cars:

"Ironically, even if Linux were GPLv3, Tivo’s method of crypto-
lock-down would likely comply with GPLv3."

I believe Archegos bought total return swaps. Those are different from CFDs, but I'm not sure how different they are. I'm not sure why one would be illegal (like CFDs are) and one would be legal (like total return swaps).
Saying that they were intended for hedging sounds like a very strong proposition to me. Chicago-style futures have (and have had, for as long as we know) numerous features that indicate speculation (or gambling, as it's also known) as one of their big reasons for existence.

They are also used to sell unconventional services (being long corn in August and short corn in July is effectively selling the service of transporting corn back in time) and,

perhaps most importantly, to make commodity loans (being long corn in the cash market and short corn in the futures market is a loan of corn.) This helps explain why, after removing costs of storage and insurance and such, prices are almost always in backwardation.

I live in a cool place. This winter we had extended periods of -20C. Heat pump efficiency drops, but still stays above 2. SCOP (for year round average for heating coefficient of performance) units sold now are better than 5.

Also, if you are worried about the refrigerant leaking, you can sacrifice a little bit of efficiency and buy a unit using CO2 as a refrigerant with a GWP of you know: 1.

I think the biggest problem here for leakage are random construction dudes cutting the pipes when they demolish or remodel homes. If only they could gather the gas in the outdoor unit before, all of it would be saved.
Right, in lieu of that these schemes use a variety of different mechanisms. One way is you can mint the derived asset at a price oracle by staking other tokens. If the synthetic spot price is too high, you can sell your newly minted asset for more than you staked. If it’s too low, you can mint an inverse asset and sell that for more than you staked.
