You seem to have this notion that empathy is a 0-to-100 dial, with each person getting a fixed setting that is used on all people they encounter.

This model is incorrect. Many slaveholders were perfectly nice people to family members, for example. And of course to other rich white men. Empathy is reserved to specific groups, and lacking/discouraged/repressed for the rest. This is a learned, societally mediated behavior. You can read Kendi's "Stamped from the Beginning" if you'd like to see how that works in detail. Mills's "The Racial Contract" is a good philosophical examination, and Loewen's "Sundown Towns" looks at related aspects via data and history.

So we see early on in the pandemic that a lot of white conservatives were perfectly fine with the disease spreading in major cities where people were concentrated. Some were gleeful. Now it's mainly a red state phenomenon and people are still resisting basic public health measures. I think that's still rooted in contempt for the lessers. E.g. https://twitter.com/jacobtwop/status/1436383225451094019

Or you might also read Serwer on "the cruelty is the point".

But all of this is pretty far afield from my actual point, which is that there are two concepts of freedom in American discourse. One admits of nuance and balance; the other is "I do what I want and fuck you". Different people may use one or the other at a particular moment. But the concepts are rhetorically very distinct.
They do cause issues when you need to implement an interface which doesn't declare the exception but you have a checked exception which can't be handled at that point. Only real option then is to rethrow as an unchecked exception. For example an Iterator which may have an IOexception.

I still like them, but they aren't a panacea, at least as Java implements them.
Which have to be done manually or through code gen. So we're back at exceptions, but with the downsides of verbosity, and ability to forget to propagate them. Basically inferior exceptions in practically every way.

Depends how you define the most fortunate. It seems to me like if you are disciplined enough to work for a while and be frugal while you do it, no matter how smart you might be, you can save a month of living expenses for every month you work - at least. So you might work 5 years then get 5 years of freedom, and that's at the lowest level. The most fortunate might work for a year and get 3+ years of freedom

I mentioned this above, but at least in the short term my experience has been that paying more doesn’t yield better results on most tasks, which I naively attribute to those skills not being available at any price from the current population of MTers.

If higher prices were paid across the board, doubtlessly more workers with the sought after skills would sign up though. So maybe that was the thrust of your comment.

There is another reason for Norway to dig up the fossil fuels that gets little discussion: Russia. The Norwegian army's most pertinent threat is Russian invasion for the fossil-fuel reserves.

It is interesting that some precious resources, such as fossil fuels, are also a great liability. In retrospect, I can think of quite a few nations that would have seen far less foreign interference and invasion had they had less fossil fuel reserves. A Canadian tribe also once famously tried to hide their precious metals from Europeans for fear of invasion.
Exactly, and well put. My point was about rhetoric. There are tribal differences in frequency and manner of use of that rhetoric. But we all start out as perfectly self-centered, and although most of us work our way out, we never lose it entirely.

Right. And the Wasm runtime could run multiple Wasm processes on one OS thread. If one program blocks on stdin/stdput it gets descheduled and the next one can run. Which basically provides the same M:N scheduling that highly scalable Webservers would use.

Norway is wealthy because of its strong institutions. Nigeria and Venezuela have more oil, Azerbaijan and Libya too, but for them it's a curse not a blessing. Norway has the rule of law, low corruption, people have confidence in their government, and the government looks out for the people. With or without oil, these things are tremendous assets. If oil were to become worthless tomorrow, Norway would continue to do quite well. After all, Denmark has only a tenth of Norway's oil reserves, and about the same population. That doesn't make them ten times poorer, in fact their GDP per capita is only 20% lower.

There aren't very many syscalls in Linux - 335 for x86_64[1], 190 for i386[2], etc. I tend to like GUIDs, but AFAIK it would cause a massive backward-compatibility problem to switch to something other than an integer.

If I'm reading the kernel source[3] correctly, the syscall interface itself accepts a 32-bit unsigned integer for the call number, but only the lowest 16 bits can be used because the upper 16 bits are used to represent the version. That would still mean that something like 80% of the effective ID space is unused at present.

You should meet more people. Just get to know them, until someone just clicks.

A friend of mine recently had success with online dating websites. He met a 25 year old blond, that you would say she would not have any problem meeting guys. But that's the current days, difficult to meet people. A lot of young people are looking for meaningfully connections. Friendship or love

I would avoid gyms, bars, and night clubs to meet people.

Just to comment on your take about the brand itself. Ray-Ban is owned by the Luxottica Group, who are set to merge with Essilor - looking at ~25% global value of eyewear.

This means they own enough to possibly a) start normalising this whole thing by pushing out with other brands and b) Ray-Ban now bombing could be a credible calculated risk.
It works as a thought experiment. If someone at a restaurant refused to handle pork products, but was seen on Facebook eating a BLT. Is it the employers place to interpret their religion?

"Linux" as most people know it is unusable for this kind of task. They are correct that the standard scheduler will not really let you run anything that needs to run in real time. Your response to that is literally just "no, we did it, and you're just to dumb to understand". Imagine a third grader and and they told you that you can't take the square root of a negative number. Of course you know that imaginary numbers exist, but you'd be a jerk if you just replied to them with "you can actually but I guess some people just don't know how to do it".

Hacker News is a site that values intellectual curiosity, not snark: you should have replied with an explanation of what you are actually doing to get that kind of thing out of the Linux kernel. What value is your experience in the field to this community if you refuse to share it with others? In this case my analogy is even stronger because you could argue that explaining imaginary numbers to a third grader may be difficult, but "I set CONFIG_whatever to this value and set the kernel to never schedule my application off this core" is exactly the kind of response that would be expected in this context.

My point about MVGM and the rental corporations mentioned in the post, is that they’re massive and bordering on mono/duopolies. That reduces the “mix of suppliers” you’re talking about. Moreover, most corporations act similarly when driven by profit, so it’s a false choice.

The problem of providing quality control is that there are a lot of edge cases; even known “high accuracy” turkers may have bad judgement sometimes, which means that every piece of data needs to be validated anyway, whether it be the researcher themselves or another paid contractor.

My undergrad thesis was to build https://tagbull.com, where we tried to have turkers validate the work of other turkers by breaking up a label into sub tasks, and getting multi-turker consensus on those before moving forward.

The main issue we ran into is that the incentive system is incredibly misaligned with the responsibility that the turkers have. It’s very difficult to build trust, especially with a crowd of people who haven’t signed contracts, and who face virtually no repercussions for doing bad work, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

> Outside of a brain scanner, the restoration of proprioception can in some ways give patients the feeling of having a real foot. One AMI amputee was hiking recently while wearing a standard prosthesis and stepped into a creek. He later described having the sensation of water flowing over his prosthetic foot even though it had no way to perceive that. “He trusted or embodied his prosthesis more than someone who doesn’t have this phantom sensation,” said Carty.

I read about an experiment where people were shown various black and white drawings over random grayish backgrounds. They then had to estimate the hue of the grayish background - which was tricking because it only has slight amount of red, or blue, etc). The results clearly shows that the black sketch which was overlayed on the gray background skewered peoples perceptions of the color of the background. People could not simply observe the color of the background without their other knowledge skewing their perception.

Yet another example that we don't really get a "raw feed" from out senses. What we perceive has already gone through a lot of "post-processing" by our brain.

ObPlug for Guardian Agent, which is basically "safe" ssh-agent forwarding (and works with Mosh and SSH): https://github.com/StanfordSNR/guardian-agent

The basic story is that ssh-agent really just exposes a primitive of "please sign this challenge," which is useful locally, but the protocol wasn't designed to be forwarded. If requests are coming from a semi-trusted intermediary host, the protocol doesn't tell the agent (a) "what remote server is being authenticated to [i.e., who generated the challenge?]", or (b) "what command is going to be executed?" It doesn't even really know (c) "what (semi-trusted) host forwarded the challenge and is asking to authenticate to the remote server?" (although this one you can approximate today by running lots of agents and giving each local ssh command a different agent to forward requests to).

Guardian Agent is a sort of hack that allows the agent to know (a), (b), and (c) before deciding whether to grant or deny the request, so the user can set up policies like, "I'd like to allow `semi-trusted host x` to use <SSH identity i> to run "git pull from <repository name y>" when talking to `git server z`, but that's it." The basic ssh-agent protocol just doesn't have enough info to be able to do something like that.
The problem with these is that they're essentially masquerading as normal sunglasses. I don't think most people in public will even notice that these aren't normal Ray Bans. Google Glass wasn't effective in part due to the fact that they were obvious to those around the wearer. That's not the case with these, which is frankly terrifying.
> One major difference to some of the more expensive cities in Germany is that people people tend to earn much less money

I don't know. According to a somewhat recent study[1], Berlin is pretty average, only 10-20% below e.g. Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg (where the rents for comparable flats in the larger cities tend to be much higher than in Berlin, and not just 10-20%, while cost of living (utilities, meals, services) is generally 10-20% lower in Berlin).

It's true that the current prices do get obscured by looking at averages, especially in Berlin where old contracts are absurdly cheap. Comparing the usual real-estate sites in Germany (granted, most markets aren't exactly showing many offers, so it's always a small sample, but it remains the same over time), you'll find that Berlin's rents are still considerably lower than those in Hamburg, Munich, Dusseldorf etc. Berlin is in a very special situation in Europe in that the capital of the country is not anywhere close to being the most expensive population center.

As for "natives" moving out of Berlin: not so sure either, many Berliners weren't born in Berlin, but that has been going on for the longest time (it's been a thing a hundred years ago, has settled during the GDR, and has been reignited in the last two decades; today, slightly over half of Berlin residents were not born in Berlin). It's a city where young people move to study and party and then stay for the life style and lower cost of living. Coincidentally, these are often the same people complaining about the high rents and asking for collectivization.
