I’ve always thought the transporter was a missed opportunity to make giant clone armies. Is there a particular reason why it’s not possible in that universe.
There is really no way anyone could definitively answer your question, but I can help point you in the direction to gather some of the data yourself.

If you want to debug this yourself from the client side, you can capture logs from the developer console and from the network. You will only see half of the picture. LWN would have the other half on their end.

Tools -> Browser Tools -> Browser Console

There are websites and videos that better explain how to use the developer console and log the messages, as this is a much bigger topic than I could explain here. You can export the entries to a text file. Keep in mind that if you are logged into their site as a member, you may have sensitive information in these logs. You can give this data to the folks at LWN and see if they can look in their logs to find corresponding entries. Remember this can have sensitive information. Only share it privately with the site administrators at LWN.

The browser may not see the full picture. You can also capture the IP layer with Wireshark [1] There are also sites and videos that explain how to capture and analyze your network traffic with Wireshark. One of the things you will be looking for are FIN and RST packets that occur when you see these error messages. Reset packets can come from any device between your browser and their server. You can also use the "Expert Analyzer" tools in Wireshark to help identify anomalies. You can then give this data to the folks at LWN and see if they can look in their logs to find corresponding entries. There are also forums where people discuss network captures.

I am doing all of these things and totally agree, so maybe my top habit will appeal to you too. It's using the number keys to switch between apps. I don't waste time Cmd-Tabbing around between PyCharm, Terminal, Chrome, Slack, and Sublime Text; I just tap Opt+1, 5, 2, 8, 9. Basically as soon as I've thought of what program I want to be in, I am in it. You may switch among your top ten apps hundreds of times a day; this will be your most used shortcut.

On Windows this is built in: Win+1 switches to the first app on the taskbar. On Mac I use Snap -- https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snap/id418073146?mt=12.
From my POV (user), how do I know if my data is being aggregated correctly and not being sold?

As a developer, how do you know the data you're collecting now won't be used maliciously in the future by your org?
Happens all the time. The only solution I know of is to stop programming for an extended period of time. Actually I think I'm going through it right now. Haven't coded in about a month.
qBittorrent developers just said fuck it three years ago, and let the world burn with unsigned installer. I suggest everyone to join the civil disobedience. If you don't, you'll soon find out you can't run your programs.

I don't think this is in any way clear. We just like to think so because it makes us special.
Some of my best friends have been made doing theatre. I have zero interest in acting, but doing all the other things involved in staging a performance is a load of fun, and the intensity of the collaboration can make for really strong and long lasting friendships based on common experience. A good theatre company needs people of different types to work, you can probably find a space that suits you talents and temprement.
How would you hear more about this? Search via Google? Read a post on FB?
Stallman was ALMOST right.

The fight is not about which programs the user can run, but who controls the user data
I am very suspicious of self-proclaimed defenders of science in the media. They may know some science, but they are too close to ideology and propaganda outlets and too far from genuine research.

When political opponents can be labeled as dumb right-wing extremists, then, of course, the message is "we are friends of science and science is true". When actual scientists reveal inconvenient facts regarding current policies, then that is proclaimed as disinformation and censured.
I use `--` to represent an en dash for date ranges (some_report_2021-01-01--2021-12-31). I don't use times nearly as often, but I separate date from time using an underscore in those instances.
Maybe both are the original? Think of the turnstile in tenet. A person who enters while traveling backwards seems to appear twice, traveling in two directions of time, but clearly both are the original. If one then reverses and catches up to the other, they are still both the original, even though they can shake each other’s hand.

What if the transporter malfunction causes the same for riker, except both rikers now travel forward in time right from the start. Therefore, they are both one and the same original riker, but they inhabit the same points in time at different points in space and therefore they will diverge as soon as they exit the transporter.
> Have you ever considered that there's a huge amount of users that don't care about "graphics programming and usable UI/UX tooling"?

Have you ever considered that this "huge amount of users" might not care about graphics programming or usable UI/UX tooling, but that >99% of them sure care about either graphics (games, photos, video, digital painting, ...) or usable UIs and UX?

I'm using Linux all the time, and it's quite amazing how terrible anything Desktop related is. Who is going to fix that if the state of graphics and UI/UX tooling is so poor that it either drives away or stymies all the people with relevant skills to drive some improvements?
Anyway, why don't they exploit the more powerful potential of that technology ? I'm talking about backups. In the first motion picture, something went wrong with the transporter and a crew member was re-assembled like a Picasso's painting, that was stupid. They could save backups of crew members they are about to transport, I was thinking, and restore them if something goes wrong. They also could, in emergency situation, restore died staff members. Oh, by the way, if I have a red uniform, I refused to be transported on the first unexplored planet without a backup.
6. People hear about a Great Resignation in the media, that includes a big pay raise. They want in on the action, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. FOMO.
It's real but it's temporary. The pandemic had enabled a lot of tech workers to save money (not commuting, eating out, going on vacations, moving out of the bay area) and so many are taking time off to relax. They'll all be back when the money runs out.
It‘s clearly not as easy as you make it seem to be. First being a separate subject is already merely a concept. And second the idea of dying carries all kind of baggage that clearly does not exist when being transported. Like the fear of death or of not being able to continue and all of that.
Mobile Firefox has ublock origin. That's a winner for me
Separate the body and mind. Attach a special device to the head that lets you store the digitalized memories of that person in a chip. Remove the chip, transport the body and then reinstall the chip. Go one step further and digitally transfer the chip's data to another chip at the other end, insert the chip into the body.

It's clear that each new body is a new person but with the same memories.

For outside observers the chip is precious, the body is not. In other words, death and murder are socially accepted.
> Apart from trying not to write stupid code, I don't even optimize anymore, because coupled with ridiculously fast servers (bare-metal hardware from Hetzner in my case), it's a waste of time.

Inquiring mind wants to know: how do you deploy your Clojure (Script) webapp on your bare server? Just an "uber war" that you drop there? (bare servers at OVH here btw but I know Hetzner is good too)

Pulling a 2019 source from wikipedia, over 30% of San Francisco's homeless recently came from outside San Francisco, and only 50% had lived in San Francisco longer than 10 years before most recently

Vertical tabs are not tree style tabs, the latter is far more flexible.
I have absolutely no idea, I mentioned phobia because it’s not rational and I don’t know what the source is. I debated even posting because it comes off as negativity towards the video, which isn’t my intent. For me it was such an oddly powerful visceral experience that I was curious if anyone else had it I guess.

Edit: I tried watching it again to see if I can figure out the triggers

- We seemingly start mid-conversation which invokes a fleeting feeling of information deficit.

- The tree on the left and the short setback of the house on the right makes it feel extremely crowded. There's greenery but the overly landscaped setting makes it feel unnatural. It looks like a production set instead of a place to live.

- The entire first sentence and unnatural cadence and facial expression feels like a sales pitch. It's a community, nothing is 'perfect', its all tradeoffs.

- Co-housing evokes roommates (i'm sure it has other meanings but that's what it meant to me) and the tethering connotation in the word 'connection' just sealed the deal. We're 7 seconds in and I'm on full alert by this point lol. I want to run away.

- Queue nursing home music and more crowded shots with obscured views.
It's stress free yes, but also boring for many people. People don't live in big cities because of how easy it is to take hot showers, they live in big cities because of culture, social life, activities, sports, shopping, restaurants, jobs/career, nightlife etc etc.
There's an Outer Limits episode with a transporter-like device, but it merely makes an exact "copy" of the person and the machine automatically destroys the "original".

I don't recall the episode name off-hand, or want to give away too much of the plot, but I thought that was better than the duplicate Rikers.

Also: two Crichtons in Farscape, although that wasn't due to a transporter-like accident but a "normal" clone.

Apparently Tesla is being shorted again. Let’s see if works out this time, better yet if that happens soon. I would really like to avoid the (proven false) flood of doom and gloom articles about Tesla.
I know it's too late to save the word "dogwhistling" from losing all meaning, but can you at least try to use it correctly?

"Dogwhistling" doesn't mean "saying something that means something else", it means using coded or indirect language to communicate something to a specific group of people while hoping that the general audience doesn't pick up on your meaning. Everybody knows what "let's go Brandon" is code for, and the people who say it aren't trying to hide what they really mean.
Doesn't that imply that the crew then is immortal and everything loses its meaning? There's zero stakes, you can even restore from homebase.
Did you purposefully list stuff no one in their right mind would care about for more than 5 minutes after the update or were you actually trying to make a point?

Because yeah, all of this is literally nothing. There are things going on with Firefox which are not nothing, but none of what you cite is.

What's next, Star Trek's idea of dilithium not matching reality either?
This article doesn't really address all of the assumptions, culture, psychology etc. wrapped up in the concept of a person dying. What exactly do we mean by that? Without considering that, all of the other considerations will be incomplete given that the original question is based on it.
All arguments about consciousness requiring continuity suffer from this basic flaw. Even if during normal sleep we still have continuity in some sense, there are other situations (general anaesthesia, concussion, those people who temporarily drown in freezing water) where it's hard to argue we have any kind of ongoing conscious function.

It seems pretty clear to me that consciousness is an ongoing process arising from our brain function and that 'we' are recreated from thought to thought and experience to experience.
The Prestige (2006) holds the answer, and it isn’t pretty.
I'm guessing GP is referring to the introduction of Protected Media Path stuff in Vista, which broke some existing video players. It didn't break non-DRM videos though.

But why should c=1 be the right value? Don't you want to be changing c as it goes?

If not, why not? If so, then how do you change it?

And then ... why should this method be any more successful than vanilla Fermat factoring?
The practical reason for ignoring lights is that if you want a critical mass it has to stay together, otherwise it fragments and your start to lose the safety in numbers. If a light turns red halfway through the mass, with 100 people through and 100 people behind, the 100 people in front can't stop and wait for the 100 people behind, otherwise they'd have to sit there and block the road for people coming from the other direction. It's the lesser of two evils.

Critical Mass is a bit like Reclaim The Streets - it's partly trying to make the point that cycling infrastructure in cities is generally complete rubbish, and one of the few ways people actually feel safe when cycling is to take over the whole road. People driving cars have this luxury every single day, and if they can't take a small inconvenience like waiting for a mass to pass, which often just means something like missing one set of lights, then quite frankly I'm happy to piss a few people off in the name of making a point.

I know it alientates some drivers, but to be honest I very much doubt those people would be persuaded by any rational arguments anyway, and I do know that a decent number of people who watch the mass go past are inspired by it.

I believe it takes about seven years for every particle in our bodies to be swapped out; all the atoms in your body today are different from those of seven years ago. In a sense, we're never truly "original".
Mine is. Sorry if you're living in North Korea. I'm rooting for your revolution.
That's the thing – I don't understand why people will chain themselves to caring about all this when you acknowledge that “Microsoft themselves doesn't always like the spirit of open source present on their own .NET team!”

Does .NET have some breakthrough features or support that other languages don't have? Are job opportunities better than, say, Java?

I'm not understanding the upside here of following the Microsoft version of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Last year my (former) team and I spent months evaluating BI solutions. Every week we were having meetings with companies like Tableau, Looker, etc.

In the end, my opinion was that we should just use CubeJS. Unfortunately it wasn’t mature enough at that time, as it had only recently begun to support Snowflake (our backend).

If I were a betting man, I’d say they’ve got a very bright future ahead of them. Really cool product and idea.
That was a crystal clear and haunting presentation of many of the fears I have about BCI.

Here are a few more:

- Whoever wins BCI wins the evolutionary arms race. They can have an infinitely scalable workforce (slave force) to build anything conceivable and rapidly outperform the competition. (They also won't need biological humans anymore, so they can easily chemically eradicate us.)

- How does Democracy work in BCI? A lot of the things we take for granted break down and have no clear analog. Who decides the rules of the system? Who shuts down simulations? Who decides what simulations get certain stimuli (or tasks)? Benevolent God or dictator seem to be more stable configurations, and the latter is probably more efficient.

- If physics is solvable and losslessly reversible, a future entity could grab and emulate us at any point. We could be simulations of originals right now. Or in the future subjected to infinite torture and pain without any control. Pointing this out was how I learned of the similarly themed Roko's Basilisk.

I'm curious whether we'll invent AGI or BCI first. There have been more developments from the deep learning camp, but BCI seems to be gaining more interest.

The trouble with belief is that it doesn’t really provide answers, more a promise to trust that some higher power has the answers.

The church, incidentally, is not a higher power. It’s a just a bunch of priests, and you can become one yourself if you like.

Churches don’t have answers, and what’s more, they discourage better questions.
I second the suggestion of Kevin Powell. As a backend dev who has always struggled with CSS, his videos really made CSS concepts click for me.
> They cannot both be the original Riker

We don't experience the future, which means our sense of continuity can only be a result of something in the present and/or the past. That isn't violated by teleportation or duplication. When two copies step out of a duplicating teleporter, they are both a continuance of the same person. The "original" Riker is the original in the same sense as you exactly one moment ago are the origin of you in this moment.
I did not think about runtime extensibility, but that is a good use-case.

At some point in the future, this might be solved neatly in a standards-based way with native WASM support

Does a TPM chip actually bring any relevant security advantages for end users, or is it just for DRM?
I’m in America/New_York as well and I see them correctly. I think your computer’s time zone may be incorrect.
> A 1 page proof is generally easier to read than a 100 page proof, no?

No. You can see the reason from information-theoretic aspect: highly compressed data is essentially indistinguishable from random data. Such data can only be recovered by a huge amount of prior information (in this case a decompressor) and any chance to recover it without that information is slim. Most human-readable data (not just code, but general language and so on) is highly redundant for this reason.
NFT is more like art. Some living artists are really good at marketing themselves and make a bucketload, most art is worth barely more than the raw materials, sometimes less.
True, but if you see the number of people cycling to and from work in London at the same time, I think pods could form relatively naturally along the way, with people joining and leaving where necessary. The more people found out about it the easier it would be, but it's difficult to know where the threshold is that means it would start to click, and what it would take to get to that point. Hence why it's still an idea in my head!
>I saw the writing on the wall the moment they could sloppily justify the TPM requirement.

Microsoft doxed itself on the TPM limitation being purely arbitrary when Windows 11 compatibility checks passed on a Pentium 4 CPU and installed just fine due to a mistake from Microsoft where they forgot to blacklist that CPU family lol.

Once the virus enters our body, we are infected. Having antibodies helped us fight the infection.

The efficacy of the vaccine indicates how well the vaccine has taught the body to make antibodies for the virus.

Thus, those vaccinated have a better chance of fighting the infection. That is why there are higher survival rates among those infected but vaccinated.

Since even vaccinated people can be infected, and since infection has a higher spread via inhalation and exhalation, wearing a mask keeps the virus out to a high extent, and helps keep the virus in as well (preventing the virus from spreading around via the infected person's exhalation).
I think hot code reloading can be very effective. This extremely reduces the feedback loop, which can be very important for productivity.

Unfortunately, I rarely was able to make this work in my setups, except long time ago when I used Visual Basic. Then I worked with C++, mostly game development using SDL. The last couple of years I wrote Python, mostly for machine learning with Theano and then TensorFlow.

The startup time of an initial prototype might still be fast enough (couple of seconds) that you don't care too much and you are still productive. But as complexity adds up, and you add other slowdowns like slow NFS or whatever, this can reach minutes, and this already is annoying. But most development I do would probably not really allow for hot reloading, or I don't really know a good way. This is anyway not really common practice for Python, and whatever you try in that direction will probably be unstable and/or non-Pythonic.

And then, you have deep learning research itself, where your feedback loop is at minimum one day, but often more like a week.

I remember that I saw screencast of notch developing on some games, where he intensively used hot code reloading on some functions which defined the behavior or look of some game entities. This looked like an extremely productive and powerful tool. Just within half a second or so, he saw the result of his code change. He just played a lot around until the behavior was nice.
We all won't be, only those still choosing to run windows. For those not doing so, we are not affected.
This would have been around the time containers were first announced. But again maybe I misunderstood something.
What makes Dune and Foundation scifi and not just feudalism in space? The Foundation TV show bores me to death and when I look up their summaries online, they both seem to be about lessons of past civilizations more than the future. A galactic emprire? The last time someone tried to pull this conquering stuff was almost 100 years ago and it was doomed from the start.
The short film "To Be" [1] is a fun exploration of this idea. (The animation is a bit crude, but it's worth watching. There's a low-quality version on YouTube [2].)

The same paradox is a major plot point in Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, and in Stanislaw Lem's Star Diaries.
