>It does however not necessarily make a simulation a difference that makes no difference, because if we're in a simulation it is possible that we are in one where it is possible to falsify the theory that we're not in a simulation.

Since, as you said, there are infinite possible unfalsifiable theories, it's a good idea to avoid them. It's better to deal with them when evidence does appear; otherwise you have an infinite number of them to go through.

> E.g. we could potentially find bugs that reveal telltale signs we're in a simulation, or outright vulnerabilities. It's even possible we could finds ways of "escaping" the simulation.

I'm not sure that's even decidable. Is, say, relativity a glitch in the Matrix or just the way the universe works? Or, to flip the question on its head: do simulations we can construct behave like the real world because the real world is simulated, or just because what we can construct is limited by the world we live in?

I think these outright flaws would have to be very obvious to unambiguously point to simulation. And I can't escape the feeling that the simulation idea is a modern version of Newton's clockwork universe: trying to explain the universe by the metaphors we have available today.
I have asked repeatedly for what exactly are the limiting factors that will make population unsustainable and there hasn't been satisfactory answers that could defend your position or make me rethink.

You should be able to defend a position that other people think is immoral specially if you think is morally good.

The Wikipedia link and theory is based on a computer model. No model can predict future innovation because part of future innovation is non linear and hence unpredictable utilizing current trends.

So you have something you can't predict (future innovation and how that will affect energy and new materials).

The burden of proof is on you given that you want to do something unnatural and immoral: make sterile millions of people.

If you want to sterilize yourself I don't agree with it but I cant stop you but that's not enough for you folks, you presume you have the right to promote mass sterilization so yes I'm going to say it for what it is: immoral.
It is a good machine yes, although I wouldn't go too much store crashing as an indicator of popularity, that could just be poorly managed web services at Apple.

Delivery dates are even now within 1 week after shipping starts (Nov 3-10), so demand seems within their initial estimates.

Hardware is not only reason gaming is not strong on Mac. Microsoft had a decent hardware and software offering for their Nokia phones in the later years, that didn't help them.

It will take ecosystem of developers investing years of effort in building a deep catalog. Game publishers are not going to risk spending that kind of effort unless there is already enough of market for large titles to recover the money, while this can grow organically, to compete with MS who have XBox as well as dominance in PC gaming, Apple will need to be active in their attempt.

A lot of effort in dev community engagement, incentivize publishers to release on their platform, get exclusive deals etc. After all this, it still may fail. Apple has not shown any interest in even trying to do that so far.
But Tether doesn't have to honor redemptions like a bank does. They can mint Tether, buy BTC with that, and give you that BTC as a redemption.

It was a new iPhone SE and a new vendor (not Phonak which didn't BT). The sound was not as good as Phonak, and the BT worked much of the time but not reliably. This, of course, was not a problem for those wearing one aid - I have two. One pays a lot of money for promise which, honestly, isn't fully delivered.

That's what people shorting the Russian ruble said in 2014. Then funding spiked to 17% a year and a lot of speculators got burned.

Funny enough. These images don't show for me when loading on a PC. They're outside the "content view" for the page. Resizing removes the first image altogether. The second image isn't even a portrait.

They're literally sidelining diversity ahahh.
Banks usually allow depositors to withdraw.

Tether's terms and conditions state that they:

(1) do not ever have to honor redemptions for US persons

(2) do not have to honor redemptions except to authorized customers

(3) only they decide who authorized customers are

(4) even for them they can delay withdrawals indefinitely, arbitrarily

(5) and even then they can offer whatever they happen to have in reserves in lieu

So there's bigger issues than their composition, like the fact they can just sail off and keep the backing, and they don't have to honor withdrawals for anyone ever.

You give them $1 (maybe, someone does, probably, honestly its not clear) and you get 1 USDT. That's it. Hope its worth $1 to you because you're not entitled to ever see that dollar again. All this hand wringing over backing doesn't mean much if you're not entitled to it you know?

I don't have a use for a "low spec" laptop per se, but I do have very particular desires for specification, and CPU and RAM aren't it. As I sit here typing this, I'm using about 2.5G or so of RAM, and any modern CPU that isn't complete bottom-of-the-barrel junk is adequate for what I'm doing.

On the other hand, I want a solid chassis, preferably metal, a screen with adequate color resolution and excellent viewing angle, and a keyboard I like.

I feel lucky that when I recently bought this laptop, I was able to get exactly what I want; a product line that Dell was moving away from (an "old" XPS as they were pushing a "new" XPS), not overendowed with RAM or a huge SSD (I replaced it from the previous system anyhow) or more CPU than I need, but it had the top-of-the-line screen (more than I wanted), and it all came in for a reasonable price point. Even the week after I ordered this, it was gone off the website. It wouldn't bother most people but it would have been a minimum of $400 more for me to find another "XPS" that fit my needs because I'd have had to spend more on the CPU/RAM.

If you want to develop with a "low spec" machine, may I suggest that if you are using Linux, you can make yourself a low-spec machine? You can go (at least on the machines I've been on) go into the cpufreq portion of /sys and configure your machine to lock itself to its slowest speeds. You can use cgroups to run a certain program in an environment where it is restricted with what access to RAM it can have. There are ways of slowing the network down and even injecting faults (if you're feeling very spicy), which you can probably attached to the cgroup and/or program itself. Probably with a bit of work you could find some way to slow the disk down if you wanted too.

A bit of scripting and you can turn it on and off at will. You can develop with a nice machine and get the productivity benefits while testing in a low spec environment at will.

This may be possible in Windows but may require a crap ton more poking into the bowels of the system.

Depends on how the CLA is worded. It's possible for the CLA to have the contributor retain all copyright over their contributions (thus preventing the maintainer from pulling a 180 and suddenly licensing the contributed code commercially) while still forcing the contributor to assert that what they made is not stolen code.
It’s not at all clear-cut to me. (IANAL.) If a cryptographic key is required, it’s not clear to me that that is either “source code” nor “script used to control compilation/installation”.

If you asked developers “is a certificate source code?”, I think most would say “No”. If you asked them “is a certificate a script?”, I think almost all would say “No”. If it’s not either of those things, I don’t know how the license terms (not the preamble) of GPLv2 would apply to prevent TiVo-isation.

Further, if it does apply, how has no one successfully sued TiVo over it?
What makes you think he is obsessed with it?

"Mixed Mode Magic" was a key feature of the 68k emulator. 68k code could call PowerPC routines through "universal procedure pointers", and vice versa. This included Toolbox routines as well as third-party code, and it extended to the point that 68k CDEFs (system extensions) which patched system traps could still be used on PowerPC systems.

Its almost an incentive to not do IPv6, then. ISPs have v4 working fine, its only the new guys that get screwed, so the incumbents can actually make life harder for competition by making sure everybody still need v4 addresses. Or, they dont want their "investments" to depreciate, kind of like why some NFA collectors oppose re-opening the machinegun registry.

$ dig fly.io AAAA
fly.io. 590 IN AAAA 2a09:8280:1::a:791

And looking at the Chrome network inspector, I loaded the page over IPv6.

The reality is, pretty much anyone who uses a major ISP in the US has IPv6 (Comcast, Spectrum, etc. hand them out without customers even asking), and it's even more likely in other countries.

The big blocker right now is cloud providers. I lost IPv6 on my personal website when I switched from Linode to Digital Ocean (with a load balancer instead of putting them VM directly on the network). At this point, it sounds a lot like "we paid a lot for 3.0.0.0/9 so we're going to drag our feet on IPv6 to hurt competing cloud providers".

Cloud customers are somewhat to blame as well -- enabling IPv6 doesn't get you new users today, so nobody does the work to configure things twice. But the ISPs and the users are ready. It's just us, the tech elite, that's slowing everyone down. And it makes sense, because we burned a lot of money on IPv4 addresses and we don't want our imaginary money to become worthless.
What concerns me is that not everyone agrees that we need to end bigotry, but if you and I agree on that one point, then great. Thanks

Hopefully:

- clearly incompetent surgeons never graduate

- any surgeon who can’t do the equivalent of basic “surgeon leetcode” would be painfully obvious to their colleagues on the job and would struggle to continue employment as a surgeon
That sounds really painful to work with, and it would still largely lack backwards compatibility -- hosts on both ends would need to be patched to support the "double address".
The act of not disclosing a conflict of interest is a problem in and of itself.

A conflict of interest is not necessarily a problem as long as the conflict is disclosed so that dealings around that conflict can be scrutinized.

But if you never disclose it, then problem or not, no one will know.

Why can't what be true? Do you truly think that Monopoly money is as valuable as real money backed by all the money, power, influence, and force of a major world government?
No! But I am not going to re-explain it; I have already said precisely why the information content is different, in the comment to which you replied. I shall merely quote it again.

> It's pedagogically important to distinguish between genuinely new things that the reader is going to have to put some effort into rearchitecting their worldview around, versus things the reader already knows but might not have seen in this form before.

Since it is common knowledge that nobody already knows what a "foo" is, but it is common knowledge that everyone already has a pretty uniform idea of what a "number" means in everyday life (really, how many ways are there you can count from 1 to 10), my assertion applies.
I don't think it's impossible per se. You could probably get around that limitation via a beefed up version of NAT, along with a couple DNS hacks. Obviously, that's some ugly hacky BS though.

I think better design could have avoided that issue to begin with by facilitating smooth roll over.

Still, I'd start with translating ipv4 addresses into a reserved range of ipv6 addresses. ...and if ipv4-only clients can't initiate new connections to ipv6 addresses outside that range, OH WELL. (There's probably wiggle room to NAT your way through anyway) More importantly, if there's a default in-built way for ipv6-only machines to initiate connections to ipv4-only machines, and the ipv4 machines can return traffic via some type of NAT, there's a lot more incentive to switch to support ipv6 since more machines would be using it.

> lowers the ceiling on excellence

There is zero real world evidence for that statement. The smartest developers I have ever worked with love types. The not-so-smart ones couldn’t figure out how to use types well and their code was a buggy mess. Not evidence of anything of course but certainly a sample point.
That of course wouldn't have found this particular type of conflict unless you are able to look into the companies that your vendors are dealing with.
I think a trick you can learn here is that once you're good at doing something that is difficult to do the first time, and becomes tedious to do on repetition -- but is still something that needs to be done frequently, the way to vastly increase your value is to be able to teach others how to do that thing.

I think a better option might be to ensure that easy and affordable access to all the 'other things' that go along with hearing aids is available. I'm not sure if it's just as simple as 'throw in a device'. I'm wary that inappropriate use and maintenance could have negative health effects.

Sometimes even the most very basic counselling has quite an effect.

Perhaps we should create a nursing/paramedic level specialization for this and allow those people to offer such services.
Most CADs are already history based, and in fact can't work without it.

This definitely seems to be the case. Molten is promising, but extremely basic in it's current form. Getting it to work a-la Valve's Proton would take an unconscionable effort, and that's before you've even figured out how to load the 32-bit libraries that most of these games are going to be lugging along with them. Once you factor in how poorly Wine is maintained on MacOS, I think it's safe to assume that most current games are off the table. You can hope for ports, but like you said, the economics of it don't shake out in favor of the developers.

In short, getting games to run in any capacity on MacOS right now is just not worth the effort. Linux was barely able to do it with the full cooperation of the kernel developers. It's a suicide mission on a system like MacOS.
> But I love the fact that you have this cute little theory to doubt my actual experience to infer that I would make this up.

The facts were suspect, your follow up is further proof I had good reason to be suspect. First off, the RAW images from a 5D aren’t 16 bit. ;) Importantly, the out of memory error had nothing to do with the “16 bit RAW files”, it was video rendering lots of high res images that was the issue which is a very different issue and of course lots of RAM is needed there. Anyway, notice I said “but it’s plausible if you’ve way undersold what you’re doing”, which is definitely the case here, so I’m not sure why it bothered you.
> 98% of one party's higher chamber

The parties don't have chambers; the legislative branch does (and as noted, it is not 98% of the higher chamber which is stymied but rather 49%). Moreover, the U.S. is not a parliamentary democracy, but rather a representative democracy: the politicians represent not parties but districts and states. Whereas in parliamentary systems party discipline is the norm and free voting is the exception, in the U.S. system free voting is far more common, although of course there are still party whips. While in a parliamentary system a majority of the majority party may still control the country, in the U.S. system a shorter way of saying 'a majority of the majority' may often be 'a minority.'

> progress toward doing the right thing

That's begging the question, isn't it? In this case 51% of the chamber think a proposed course of action isn't the right thing, while 49% do. N.b.: I am not taking any position on the rectitude or not of the proposed course of action, just noting that it has not gained support of a simple majority of the chamber.
No, Rails and Laravel are also the sprawling type of framework. They handle everything from routing to database access.

> any collection that has the property called 'two' contains a collection that shares the property 'one'

Yes. That is a true statement. It is (more or less) the observation that given a set S with two elements, you can make a subset of S that has one element. (Indeed you can make two such subsets :-)

Note that the reason I put it in terms of a property was specifically go get around these kinds of objections. My definition of two is, essentially, "anything that behaves effectively the same as this definition of two". I picked the ZF definition of two as "this definition" but I didn't have to. I could have picked something else, and then the phraseology would have been different. But it all eventually bottoms out in the theory of computability. You can start with ZF or Turing Machines, or the lambda calculus, or Godel numbers, or Brainfuck. It doesn't matter. All starting points lead to the same destination.
I love this genre of books.

As someone currently using Rails, I would say React is nothing like Rails. Rails is just magic everywhere, where as React feels very explicit about what it does.
