I've seen a lot more blanket skepticism and cynicism, but these new views are often as uncritical as the credulity they replaced (and as easily exploited).

I haven't really seen an increase in people doing the hard work of gathering facts, considering new perspectives, and challenging their own assumptions or prior beliefs. It's more like switching from uncritical consumption of NYT to uncritical consumption of YouTube.

I did like your idea that this could be a good thing though, not sure I believe it yet.
That unfortunately is under loading the car by quite a bit. Semi truck trailers are limited to 80,000lbs, including the trailer itself. Rail cars are usually rated for much more, the Union Pacific will accept up to 268,000 lbs including the car itself. Loading two tractor containers on a rail car is leaving ~100,000 lbs of cargo capacity on the table, so to speak.
I'm pretty sure the study you are thinking of [1] only applies to ages > 65 [2] for which there are a lot of possible explanations. Other studies have found that past a certain age no lifestyle choices matter including smoking & diet since it takes too long to influence when you die.

If you look at [1], a ton of the studies they looked at adjusted for preexisting illness like hypertension and diabetes. It's basically like saying people who fall off sky scrapers don't die of cancer.

It is also important to remember the associated costs and decrease in quality of life associated with being overweight.

That said it is possible the lower-end of the overweight BMI range could be moved up a point or two but that's probably less than the variance between populations anyway.

Won’t move the moderation line and you won’t have that slippery slope problem. At the boundary, use judgment. The law has the same problem and yet we still have tremendous speech liberties.

To be clear, I think moderating small communities is fine, but planet-scale social networks are de facto public squares.

I agree that the data on masks can be interpreted both ways. This suggests to me the effect is small and probably second- or third-order (i.e. masks encourage more distancing, and that's actually what matters).

It isn't just that COVID continues to spread despite mask mandates. It's that the curves look nearly identical in areas with and without mask mandates. And, to show their effectiveness, epidemiologists have resorted to pretty serious P-value hacking.

Separately, I find it hard to get worried for my personal safety because of the 30 percent of people refusing to vaccinate themselves. It's just not that hard to avoid the sorts of places where such people are likely to be. And, being vaccinated and healthy makes it less of an issue for me than, say, the risk of a car accident. Sure, I could pass it on to someone else if I get it, but with reasonable precautions I don't think that's likely at all.

With Nitro they disclosed that every EC2 machine deployed in the last 5+ years has at least one ARM chip because each server has a nitro card.

So reading the tea leaves... the first generation of EC2 ARM (a1) could have been almost as simple as two nitro cards hooked together.

Graviton2 is likely a bigger chip than what they're sticking on Nitro cards, but if Graviton1 was just the overhead for each Intel machine...
I'm so glad to hear it!
Hmm. I don’t think concision is really the right way to go; below a certain length a description just becomes less precise and useful rather than better. I think that my own description should have had another paragraph or two, looking back at it.

Claims that JITs can produce code that's routinely faster than C++ have been around since Java. So far, the promised gains haven't really materialized. It appears that optimizations that can be gleaned from dynamically profiling a running program simply don't provide enough benefit to account for optimization opportunities lost because the JIT has to be "fast enough", and from language semantics that is inherently hard to compile to fast code (of which C++, quite intentionally, has little). V8 is not an exception.

Your specific example - inlining functions - is not particularly illustrative, since C++ can inline just fine across translation unit (and thus also static library) boundaries with link-time optimization. What it can't do is inline across shared library boundaries, but large C++ apps are usually mostly statically linked for redist anyway.

That’s a good theory, until you investigate the fate of light rail in most American cities. By your theory light rail should be easy to build; it’s built by local authorities for local consumption. Yet, most of these projects fail to a combination of local incompetence and NIMBY action.
The late hip hop artist DMX first got hooked on crack after being given a blunt laced with crack. The addiction would haunt him for the rest of his life and eventually lead to his heart failure. In the video, about 3 mins in, you can see how much that moment weighed on him, after decades.

I'm saying maybe there's actually a decent bit of truth in the hokey video. But maybe that's they'd be better off showing DMX than an overdramatized skit.

In several interviews and in her books, Carol Sanford would recount how her half-Mohawk grandfather taught her how to see the world, in a way that is different from mainstream, modern cultures.

I would tell a friend of mine what I learned about permaculture, and when he talked with his father, his father would recognize those ideas as something his grandfather said the Native Americans would tell him. This was in Alabama.

It's not how they lived so much as how they saw the world.
In US tech companies the norm absolutely is not to fire people with zero notice or severance. It's typically more of a six month process where employees are explicitly told that they're on the way out at months before they're fired. When people are terminated immediately, it typically comes with a severance package of some sort (usually in exchange for a legal agreement to not sue the company).

> Because one of the basic axioms of equivalence relations (which equality should certainly be) is reflexivity; anything should be equal to itself, and other code will break if it isn't (e.g. in many languages you can corrupt a binary tree structure by inserting multiple NaNs into it, because they'll both compare less than each other).

NaN is not something that can be pointed to. NaN doesn't exist like numbers exist in relation to each other, it's a concept (or at least more conceptual than numbers themselves are conceptual). NaN doesn't exist on a number line, so it makes no sense to order, compare for greater or less than, a NAN with numbers or anything else. It literally means "this doesn't exist". It doesn't have a "self" for reflexivity to apply to. A binary tree's nodes need to be comparable and orderable, and NaN is not comparable to anything. There is no place to put a NaN in a binary tree, nor is there really a use case to "find a NaN quickly" that a binary tree would be useful for (what would the utility be of a binary tree where the keys are all NaN?). NaN is a sentinel, and it exists outside the set of floats, despite being a float itself for type purposes, which is why it needs to be tested for using specific operators (isNaN) and not using equality operators. Part of the utility of NaN is that it can not be tested for using equality.

Of course, computers are limited in what can be represented using bits, so NaN does have a specific (set of) binary representation(s), and you could work with those, but that avoids the useful abstraction NaN is mean to represent.

This is the biggest use-case for ARM on the short-term, and it isn't close.

Lambdas are small, isolated, stateless, and highly abstract. All of these things mean, most users will probably just change one line, and immediately see a 20-40% cost reduction.

Practically speaking, there is no reason for x86 lambdas to exist anymore (outside of, "we ship a go binary compiled to x86, need to change one line in the CI to compile to ARM, ok done").

More broadly speaking; as I type this on an M1 Macbook Air, a device with no fan, capable of matching the single-core performance of the brand new i7 11700KF and Ryzen 7 5900x, talking about how new AWS ARM processors will reduce lambda costs by up-to 40% while increasing performance by 20% over x86... we need consumer ARM chips, and we need broader non-Mac desktop application support. Seems like the writing is on the wall, and developers can either keep up with the curve or be left behind.

Right now, very specifically: Looking at you Autodesk. We're coming up on a year of M1. Where's the non-Rosetta release of, say, Fusion 360?

I'm not sure how to respond to this. Infanticide is tragic, but they don't have condoms nor doctors who can perform abortions, so...?

They live in a harsh environment (in the Kalahari Desert) so the ecological effects of overpopulation would be pretty evident to them, I imagine. They're not "expanding as much as they could and strip-mining their immediate environment", eh? But (if the movie is not a fable) they seem pretty happy.

I understand being pro Covid-19 vaccine and wanting to get it to minimize your chances at a negative health outcome if you get infected.

Also mandating certain vaccines (like MMR) makes sense because they fully inoculate a person and eradicate these diseases.

But when it comes to Covid-19 vaccines I don’t understand the insistence others get the vaccine because it doesn’t fully inoculate against the virus nor does it prevent carrying/spreading the virus.

Perhaps there is an argument that hospitals are overloaded and 100% vaccination would relieve that burden, but I’m not in favor of mandatory vaccines that don’t fully inoculate and eradicate something on the basis it might help our overburdened healthcare system. It becomes a slippery slope, and opens the door to asking why we don’t then mandate diets, supplements and lifestyles that promote healthy immune systems in the name of minimizing chronic conditions that are a financial burden to tax funded Medicare and the healthcare system generally.

> All of the symptoms listed could be psychosomatic, due to fear around COVID.

The same can be said for a majority of cancer symptoms, autoimmune disorders, etc. Handwaving symptoms away as "that could be imagined" doesn't make it so.

Having seen horrific xrays of the lungs of some COVID survivors, I have trouble believing that symptoms like "chest pain" and "abnormal breathing" are psychosomatic for a majority those reporting them.

Agreed. Huge mistake by Palmisano to focus on the finances (the end result) rather than the products and tech that generated them.

Hindsight is 2020, but I also see it as a huge error that they sold their fabs off. When you look at the innovation and interest in semis these days across mobile and in the cloud, could have ended up as a significant differentiator / value generator for them. Instead they saw it as “empty calories” as Rometty put it; all revenue and no profit. Had they invested in it, could have been a really intriguing offering.
Is it even a direct quote? It first appeared in public in 2016, over 15 years after Ehrlichman's death, and has been challenged by numerous people.[1]

But I'm not here to argue about the alleged quote, I'm here to dispute the broader claim that the war on drugs was somehow manufactured by Nixon to target his enemies. The war on drugs was bipartisan from the beginning.

So if you believe that the racial disparities might be "a deliberate result of the system", as you said, then blame for that would extend far beyond Nixon, right up to our current President.

> If you want to participate in the world’s largest encyclopedia, you must collaborate with a shadowy group of anonymous amateurs and paid shills on exactly one article per topic. If you’re new, you won’t be treated very nicely. If you don’t play their strange game, you’ll be summarily dismissed. Like the social media giants, Wikipedia has become an arrogant and controlling oligarchy.

> Like Facebook, Wikipedia is also controlling its readers. It feeds them biased articles, exactly one per topic, does not let users give effective, independent feedback on articles (you’re forced to become a participant) or to rate articles. They have in a very real way centralized epistemic authority in the hands of an anonymous mob. This is worse than Facebook. At least with Facebook, Congress can call Mark Zuckerberg to testify. There isn’t anyone who is responsible for Wikipedia’s content. The situation is, in some ways, more dire than with Facebook, because you can’t effectively talk back to Wikipedia.
I really like the /pol/ version of this where they just edited in if you were of a certain race how this comic would read. Needless to say, it's wrong and everyone who agrees with that comic is wrong.
Another problem is that quality items generally spread by word of mouth, and don't need to advertise as much. So, as an example, I am interested in camping and hiking gear, but the best brands aren't as desperate to advertise, so I get endless ads instead for cheap gadgets or unproven inventions that might work once and then fall apart. Recently spent $600 on two camera bags that I hadn't seen advertised but knew the brand, but had seen ads for many cheap $50 bags instead.

Wait... is this currently a thing? Does the transit pass keep working after the phone is off? If that's the case then it must really just be keeping a single unique identifier available and broadcasting it.

Also the easy fix for such an issue is to just poweroff the phone when it has ~5% of the phone power left which most phones already do. Instead of broadcasting its location, transit ID all the time it could just do it when you hold the power button down or something... it would last longer anyway.
So let me get this straight--if I freeze your bank account on the basis on what you believe and blow some kind of smoke about why I actually froze the account--you are going to be extremely tactful in that situation?

I always chuckle when people complain, even if it is from a cofounder, that Wikipedia has a "leftist" bias.

As the article explained, the Apple ][ SMPS didn't have significant quality or design improvements. It did have some novel design features, but they weren't good enough to be widely adopted by others, and Apple eventually dropped them too.

Cold storage just means that you key is kept offline, but the whole system is on the internet. The central part of crypto is the blockchain, which holds all your assets.

So if someone is able to guess your key, or just happen to find it, or if the encryption has been defeated by a leap in computing or algorithms, they will have access to your crypto without needing to access your key.
Argue about the source all you want (you should really look into the group behind the Epoch Times before you interact with it much. Short answer is it's a highly politicized Chinese cult), but the actual article has a point. Wikipedia is hostile to any people or ideas that are seen as rightist, and has become increasingly so. That's a problem for a site that claims to be an online encyclopedia.

This is really a wider phenomenon though. It seems like in the last 8 years or so, nearly every entity has been forced into a specific political affiliation. Technology being what it is has a very left wing tilt, and that means most major tech plays are left-bias. I suspect we'll see more and more Parlors (X but for right wingers) pop up if this trend continues.

I do think Ruby will make a more compelling case against its peers (php/python/node). Especially against php it can win some market share since Ruby is perceived as a cleaner language. Also to this day Node hasn't come up with a big Rails like framework. It can't hurt is all I am saying, developers seem to be thoroughly impressed by this type of big corporate backing even if it means very little for their day to day usage.
