RISC-V is an OK design, but quite atypical. So, being simpler than others, it will be easier to understand; but for the same reason, does not acquaint you with details seen in designs currently used industrially.

Some of the design decisions, and their expressed rationale, are considered unpersuasive by many involved with other architectures. For example, a status register, cited as interfering with optimal out-of-order execution, turns out not to be a problem in actual chips (where they rename it like other registers), so was omitted from the RISC-V design on what amounts to superstition. Some instruction sequences that would need to be "fused" to match performance of common chips involve many more instructions than are fused in any extant design, so it is unclear that such fusion would be practically achievable.

So what would you call this style of programming? Saying there is nothing functional about it seems like hyperbole. It's just not as pure as you'd like. I say as someone in the world of people who need to get things done, why do we/I care?

I read the article FWIW, it didn't particularly convince me. I think even writing things in the style of functional programming, if that's what we want to call it, still makes it easier to reason about the code. Confining side effects to hooks also means there's only one place we have to reason about having non pure consequences.

Who defines what speech is harmful or wrong?

Democracy is a system in which your party loses elections. And when they lose, do you want them dictating what you can and can’t say?

No one has a monopoly on the truth.

In fact, our greatest scientific discoveries (the closest thing we have to Truth) have been forged by “offensive speech”. The ability to offend actually helps minimize misinformation.

Lots of things are "down the stack". The servers, the building they sit in, the electricity that runs the building, and the coal/water/solar/wind that produces that electricity. Should Twitter run a power plant? Maybe they should optimize the design of current power plants? Also, what about the toilets that their programmers use - they could probably be optimized as well!
Not sure where I stand on this. On one hand function components and hooks give a nice way to extract logic into small reusable bits, way more than with class components.

But on the other hand it becomes clear that decent performance with this approach requires all kinds of tricks and each react version adds more and more of these tricks with a steep learning curve.
Shame since react started out with a very small, easy to understand API and that is what made it so popular.

Awesome job patrick and team
100% of everything you said I agree with. We're in a downright recession on freedoms.

"I now realize it's not that hard to persuade the average citizen into accepting such things."

Yes, and worse I feel it's not even that people are all too willing to go along with these things from on high, they want it, they propagate it. I'm starting to see the same behavior and mentality I imagine was common in East German where citizens police other citizens. It's not a good direction we're in at all.
Misinformation, aside from being a rather subjective thing to define, isn’t the cause of the problem, it’s just a symptom of it.

The cause of the problem is people losing trust in their institutions. People not trusting pharmaceutical companies barely needs any explanation due to their history of scandals (any opioid crisis threads on HN today?).

People not trusting public health institutions is a bit more serious. But it’s a perfectly rational reaction given how much they’ve lied over the course of the pandemic. Looking to misinformation as the source of the problem is just a way to deflect responsibility.

If the problem you’re trying to solve is “how do we combat misinformation”, then “strictly controlling the information they’re allowed to consume, and the things they’re allowed to say” seems like a reasonable response to a lot of people.

But if your problem is “why have people lost trust in our institutions”, then “because we failed to strictly control the information they’re allowed to consume, and the things they’re allowed to say” is quite obviously a counterproductive KGB-style response.
> the Chinese cultural revolution worked really well

Given that the lineage in power now (the Dengists) were imprisoned under Mao during the cultural revolution, and only after Mao's death were able to perform a coup, arrest the rest of the leaders of the cultural revolution, and let the Dengists out of jail, I'm not sure that's the case.

>our high vaccination rate did absolutely nothing to stop the spread.

It was never going to. People have been asking for decades, "Why don't we have a vaccine for the common cold?" And the answer is because it's a type of virus that evolves too quickly. So we just can't. Not really. It's just not remotely as effective as say a smallpox vaccine. And SARS COV-2 is the same type of virus. A coronavirus.

It's just an opportunist money grab by big pharma, and an authoritarian power grab by those in power "for your own good".

It was always going to kill a large number (but small percentage) of people. The "vaccine" didn't stop that one bit. But you can't prove this because we can't go back in time and run to separate Earths, one with the "vaccine"s and one without. So they'll pretend it helped without it being possible to know if it did or not.

4chan is infinitely more enjoyable than the majority of social media and forums out there, precisely because of how lax the rules are and because of the lack of perverse incentives for users trying to one-up eachother for internet points. The only real rules are that you can't post anything illegal and that you have to stay vaguely on-topic, and it works great.

Also, /pol/ is not all of 4chan, there's a reason it's called a containment board.

I have a 16 port switch and there’s was a much bigger difference if I wanted to go with a quality one.
I believe OP is saying that due to the increase in risk and volatility there is a greater chance of the trader to emotionally manage their money as it peaks and falls.

And obviously there’s mathematical measurements where one tries to get the highest return per unit of risk. It’s possible that these returns might be higher but fall under the curve.
The canvases would have been ten times better (IMHO) if the artist had sloppily and quickly written "Take the Money and Run" on them, and maybe even left the brush and paint on the floor below the canvas

But then, maybe I'm wrong, and that's why I'm not an artist :)
Absolutely, which is why it is fair to err on the side of inflation instead of deflation when managing the money supply. But stability is more important than either inflation or deflation, as an erratic money supply increases uncertainty into the value of trades.

> Bandwidth impact

Article touches on but doesn't clearly explain the bandwidth impact of a 1-armed router: Every routed packet is traversing the same link twice (in+out), so usable aggregate bandwidth is halved.

If you're fortunate enough to have a symmetrical Internet connection > 500Mb/s that means you can't upload and download at the maximum rate simultaneously. If you run multiple VLANs that also means the cross-VLAN traffic is competing with Internet traffic for bandwidth on the router's interface.

A while back I made some potato-quality charts to illustrate because this comes up all the time when discussing Ubiquiti's MediaTek-based routers that are architected as a switch with an internal router-on-a-stick.

Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum. It exists to address societal, political, existential (climate change), or financial problems. For example, let's talk about self driving cars (my field). The only reason they are necessary are fundamentally societal (people die from cars) and political (America doesn't want to invest in public transit for many societal reasons that aren't logical). It's a technology that doesn't have to exist. These societal issues are the reason why it's worth investing in the tech and they affect the design of the car and what problems it needs to solve.

I get the appeal of trying to look at technology solely in isolation, but society influences whether technology needs to exist and how it's designed.

>YouTube is banning anti-forced Sars COVID2 mRNA drug activists and blocking all anti-forced Sars COVID2 mRNA drug content

FTFWaPo

I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm happy to have my measles, mumps, rubella, and other vaccines. I'm looking forward to getting the new HPV vaccine (gardasil) now that they've started recommending it for adults and you can actually get your doctor to give it to you (a couple years ago they would refuse if you asked and said you'd pay for 100% of it).

Resisting this latest moneygrab by big pharma and power grab by authoritarians is not "anti-vaccine".

That's incredibly disingenuous. Because this drug is fundamentally different from what a vaccine is.

If the authoritarians and their followers pushing this can't even admit that it so radically different from a vaccine as to be outright lying to call it one, how can we even talk about it?
I meant something else: I meant, could we take the sustainability lessons of the Native Tribes in such a way that we both live sustainably and keep furthering science? I.e. it's not about denying reality - it's about continuing to learn more about it, and to apply it.

In the past centuries, most important of scientific discoveries required having an industrial civilization. So implied in my question is, can we keep the progress of technology going (at least the non-abusive parts of it), because it's a flip side of scientific progress - they feed on themselves, and you can't have one without the other.
But is free speech dependent on YouTube being a platform for complex discussions between knowledgeable people on a topic?

Maybe YouTube doesn’t want that role.

Maybe we can have a sci-debate website that does want these discussions, and maybe that site could tailor the feature set for exactly this purpose.

Maybe it would focus on citation and annotation features like thinkspot or Spotify or genius.

Maybe the site could have multiple ways to evaluate the reputation of someone making claims. Maybe it could have education, popularity, endorsements from other people with high reputation, and like three other dimensions of reputation measurements.

Maybe it could have tools to disclose conflicts of interest, the accuracy of past claims over time, and automatic linking to rebuttals.

Maybe YouTube just isn’t a fit for this information.
Good point about the reproducibility crisis. We seem to have forgotten about that.

There is a better alternative to listening to random people I think which is to follow the work of individual scientists whom we trust because we have been following their work over a long period of time and because they exhibit Jacob Bronowski's 'habit of truth'.

Unfortunately, I don't know any immunologists or epidemiologists! I'm guessing that censorship on balance makes it harder rather than easier to find them.
> Social networks seem to be unable to optimize for anything other than "engagement,"

This is mostly due to the profit motive. Optimizing for time spent on the platform benefits shareholders.
OPs claim is poorly stated. He's referring to Zermelo's theorem which states that a finite game with two players that's deterministic and zero sum with perfect information and no possibility of a draw must have a winning strategy. It's not difficult to prove that this must be true and you likely can intuit why it's true (imagine building a decision tree for such a game).

But all of those qualifiers I mentioned are needed, and that's a lot of qualifiers. If any of them are no longer true then there is not guaranteed to be a winning strategy.

In chess, it's possible to end the game in a draw, so Zermelo's theorem does not apply to it and OPs claim is wrong about chess.

I'm fairly certain one can trivially disqualify one of those criteria when it comes to financial markets as well.
I wish Google had not done this sort of thing.

I am not an anti-vaxxer but I think we should not silence those who question vaccines, their studies and their effectiveness. By banning vaccine criticism in public domain we essentially ensure that only FDA is responsible for calling a vaccine fake, once they approve we all have to fall in line and not be skeptical about them. This gives too much power to FDA (hence a higher possibility of corruption) and a free pass to pharma companies who might push more and more ineffective vaccines with the help of their friends in FDA and CDC.

Google is pretty good at content recommendation and I am sure if they want they can solve this problem much better by identifying diversity in the vaccine criticism and accordingly give it exposure.
I understand. However, on my platform, there is no even username so it is very hard to follow people around. Also there is one reply per node limit and per user comment limit per day to cap the volume.

There is also lying via omission, statistical manipulation and censorship. Why did Pfizer data for their COVID-19 vaccine not report the injury and paralysis of a 12-year participant in the clinical trial? June 2021 article from Robert Kennedy's CHD organization, https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/sen-johnson-ken-...

> Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) held a news conference Monday to discuss adverse reactions related to the COVID vaccines — giving individuals who have been “repeatedly ignored” by the medical community a platform to share their stories ... “We are all pro-vaccine,” Johnson said at the onset of the news conference. In fact, Johnson has had every flu shot since the Swine flu, is current on all of his vaccines ... he has not had a COVID vaccine because he already had COVID.

> Five people from across the U.S., including a 12-year-old girl who was part of the Pfizer clinical trial, joined the conference at the federal courthouse ... Among them was Maddie de Garay from Ohio who volunteered for the Pfizer vaccine trial when she was 12. On Jan. 20, Maddie received her second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine as a participant in the clinical trial for 12- to 15-year-olds and is now in a wheelchair ... “Why is she not back to normal? She was totally fine before this,” said Stephanie de Garay, Maddie’s mother. She volunteered for the Pfizer vaccine trial “to help everyone else and they’re not helping here. Before Maddie got her final dose of the vaccine she was healthy, got straight As, had lots of friends and had a life.”

> ... Upon receiving the second shot, Maddie immediately felt pain at the injection site and over the next 24-hours developed severe abdominal and chest pain, de Garay said at the press event. Maddie told her mother it felt like her heart was being ripped out through her neck, and she had painful electrical shocks down her neck and spine that forced her to walk hunched over ... She developed gastroparesis, nausea and vomiting, erratic blood pressure, memory loss, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, fainting, seizures, verbal and motor tics, menstrual cycle issues, lost feeling from the waist down, lost bowel and bladder control and had an nasogastric tube placed because she lost her ability to eat.

> ... Johnson argued that while most people don’t suffer significant side effects following vaccination, he is concerned about “that small minority that are suffering severe symptoms.”

80-min video of news conference: https://rumble.com/vj5xbf-senator-ron-johnson-milwaukee-news...

The more we know about the statistical minority who suffer severe adverse reactions, the better we can screen vaccine recipients to prevent these injuries.
Don't forget the obvious merely logical counter argument:

How does one come up with "being vaccinated could potentially be a time bomb" without naturally coming up with "being unvaccinated could potentially be a time bomb"?

If you don't even know what mRNA stands for without Googling it, surely you couldn't possibly guess that one of these is more likely to be true than the other.
