Perhaps the problem with some people is in semantics. If that's the definition of dark matter, why not use a better term that means "something that influences things on galactic scales that we can't yet explain".

Calling it 'dark matter', implies or assumes that it must be only be what constitutes as 'matter' that's behind the cause. It closes many minds to considering the possibility that something that has no mass or volume could be behind the cause. You know something 'non-mattery'? And that begs the question, if has 'non-mattery' attributes in behavior, perhaps calling it 'matter' in definition is a bit misleading?
Lots of bizarre defenses of PG here. Look at it this way: every single person you meet has heard the phrase “Wikipedia” and probably all but the least curious have used it. How many have heard of Project Gutenberg? And why not? Are public domain books unpopular? (No, schools assign tons of public domain books in English class.) Okay, so what’s going on? Answer: Project Gutenberg has decided that making the books readable is not their job. Well okay whatever, it’s their project, but the result is a total failure to be what it could and should be: a peer to Wikipedia and a household name.
I'm real curious in the details behind their $1 purchase of this asset that turned out to be worth billions. Smells shady to me.

The argument against p-values is part of the argument against any bright-line single-number rule for identifying truth. The job of the researcher is to demonstrate (at least) that

1. there is (isn't) an observable difference between groups of interest

2. the difference is (not) attributable to hypothesized causal mechanism i.e. the (absence of a) difference isn't due to random variation in the observed sample i.e. the difference would be observed by a independent replication of the same analysis/study

3a. the difference is not explainable by other factors that vary between the groups, observed or unobserved

3b. the difference is not artificially inflated (suppressed) by the statistical choices

4. the difference is large enough to be practically relevant.

and so on

If the degree of certainty of statements about the difference can be characterized by a single number at the end of the process, great! But the goal should be a convincing, wholistic story, not the single number.
Because you don't always get a choice. Not all developers have the resources to make special UIs for iOS/Android/Windows/Mac/Linux. Sometimes it's either PWA or nothing. (Well, I know there are other cross platform technologies, but IMHO they're all even worse than PWAs.)

I have an app like that... I make it by myself, and I have no desire to make 5 different GUIs. And yet thousands of people on iOS use it as a PWA. That seems pretty pro-user.

The downside is, my app performs worse in Safari than any other browser, so these iOS folks with high end iPhones are getting about the same experience as Android users with $100 phones. I bet I would have even more iOS users if Apple let them use a better web browser :)
To not really answer your question, this kinda thing AFAIK can also happen in Australia.
Yes, and we should also be aware of a rhetorical strategy used by surveillance state apologists where they alternate between "The lack of recent terrorist attacks proves that mass surveillance works, so we should extend it to fight other crimes" and "The recent attack shows that we need more surveillance powers to protect ourselves".

Seems good, but the vast amount of neovim plugins I use makes a switch very unlikely.
I remember NX being pretty good. I don't really remember why I ended up using Xpra more, but I used it for individual applications. I usually used NX only for full desktop sessions. And I only had whatever version of FreeNX I could get set up server side, which I remember being difficult, so maybe proper NoMachine NX would have been better.

I also never really dug into how Xpra used image encoders in its whole process. There's this diagram in the old (probably outdated) docs:

https://www.xpra.org/trac/attachment/wiki/DataFlow/Xpra-Data...

It seems more sophisticated to me than just a VNC approach, since it lets you send over the individual windows. There's this note on the current docs:

> Choosing which encoding to use for a given window is best left to the xpra engine.
It will make this decision using the window's characteristics (size, state, metadata, etc), network performance (latency, congestion, etc), user preference, client and server capabilities and performance, etc

I'm not sure if that's more selective or cleverer than NX's approach, or basically the same. I wonder now whether it was latency, bandwidth, or processing power on the client (all we had was IGPUs) that was scarcest for me back then.

> For me, nxproxy/nxagent is basically the equivalent of mosh compared to SSH. If you have never felt the need to use mosh, then your link is not a high latency one.

I think plain SSH worked fine for me back then, though, so maybe latency was less of a problem for me than it has been for your use cases. Mosh is great though, especially for cellular internet connections.

This is overstated. They used genus contextually, in an abstract sense, for biological sex, in the same way we might use kind for a brand of soda ("what kind of soda do you want?"), but genus didn't have the concrete meaning of biological sex for them any more than kind has the concrete meaning of soda brand for us.

It's the same for Greek γένος, e.g. in Plato's Symposium:

> πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ τρία ἦν τὰ γένη τὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὐχ ὥσπερ νῦν δύο, ἄρρεν καὶ θῆλυ --189d

It's fair to translate that into modern English as "Originally there were three genders [or sexes] of human being, not two like now, male and female", but the specific meaning of sex or gender isn't there, just kind. It's a general word being used in a general way (literally, in fact: genus -> general).
I'm surprised that they published the more recent paper discussed in part 2 [0] since, IIRC, TAO has supported atomic transactions since at least when I was there a few years ago, but better late than never I suppose. I wonder if that means there's still hope that someone at the company will write a blog post about frameworks like:

- EntSchema/EntPattern
- EntQL
- EntAction
- PrivacyPolicy
- Ent Deletion framework
- Ent consistency checkers/fixers (I forget the name of the framework/tool)

It's sad to think that people's only glimpse into these tools is through https://entgo.io which is a really crude approximation of the real thing due to Go's lack of generics and expressiveness. Imagine if such amazing tools could be used at actually ethical companies.

Great point, thanks for the clarification. Median age is 53 (Table 1) and they do breakdown by VE against symptomatic infection in <50, 50-64, 65-79, >= 80 age groups plus adjust for comorbidities. But for VE against severe infection they only breakdown in <80 and >=80, and VE in <80 holds at 82% at 6 months. Regrettably the respective table has no data for the 9 month data point, which is the most interesting moving forward.
You think misinformation in the News Feed is bad enough? Wait till they figure out neurolinguistic hacking in the Metaverse.
I'm reminded of the master-class hissy fit Harlan Ellison threw when The Terminator came out. He sued, claiming ownership of the general concept of robots from the future. I'm not sure how it shook out, legally, but to this day the T1 film credits include the producers' "grateful acknowledgement to the works of Harlan Ellison."

So there's certainly precedent for Stephenson to claim the moral rights to a "metaverse," whatever that is.
I worked for Peter Gabriel (musician). He was throwing out his old iBook, so I took it. It had all his files on it, and all his logins. I could still log into his AOL email account.

I have had a hard time getting any doctor to take a complex issue seriously.

If it can't be "solved" with the standard antidepressant, antibiotic, skin cream, or "diet and exercise"; good luck getting anybody to even try to solve an issue that isn't obvious. (your leg is broken, you have a tumor, etc.)

Medical expertise has a problem with only doing one dimensional solutions for one dimensional issues.

Is that a bad thing? A substantial fraction of the population uses the local highway on a daily basis, whereas very very few people use small local airports with any similar frequency
Errata: The Sweden study only breaks down VE against severe infection in <80 and >=80 age groups. VE in <80 holds at 82% at 6 months point, no data for 9 months in the respective table.
Various philosophers, such as Wittgenstein, have pointed out that much of what sounds like discussion only exists because one can arrange words into grammatically sensible sentences. That doesn't mean the discussion is actually about anything. People who know the words “Earth” and “flat” can theorize about whether the Earth is flat, but it’s a waste of time to pay any attention to them. A “non-binary” “gender” is just a noise with no idea attached to it.
I feel like it'd be compelling to some enthusiasts because of the low barrier (well, minus learning the IDK) to developing something they'd like for a Roku.

Although if you're going to… develop something for a Roku, I feel like a Raspberry Pi might be easier.

Keep draining until you don't.

Pretty common when there's a fog and you get condensate. The tank on a small airplane isn't gonna be sealed air-tight, it's vented to the outside air so a little condensate is pretty normal.

Water is heavier than the gas, so it sinks to the bottom where the drain fitting is.
Snow crash and Neuromancer are two well known must reads. I remember once hearing someone compare the 2 authors styles in that Neal Stephenson sounds like a hacker trying to be a great writer, and William Gibson sounds like a great writer trying to write like a hacker.

Klutch looks to be what I didn’t realize I’ve been wanting every bank I’ve bounced to since Simple was a flash I the pan all those years ago.

I'm offended at the hijacking of my language and the blind insistence that the definitions of words have changed and that biological sex isn't a thing. The world "man" has always first and foremost meant "adult male human" (like "rooster" means "adult male chicken"). "Trans men are men" is therefore a contradiction in terms. I don't mind trans people existing, they clearly do, and I certainly don't have a "phobia". "Transman" or "transwoman" seem perfectly adequate terms to describe them.

In so far as what people should be called, it has clearly always been a negotiation. If you say "Hello, my name is Alice" I'd be inclined to call you such. Your actions might however change my mind, and I might select a more vulgar, or more affectionate word. Yes it's polite to call people what they'd like to be called. But it's tyrannical to make politeness mandatory.

I'm rabidly pro-piracy but what the Archive did was the very definition of shitting where you eat. What fool thought they could get away with that? This is like if Cloudflare believed revenge porn shouldn't be illegal and decided in light of that to create and host a revenge porn site. You can't do that shit as an organization. You flaunt the law when you're a ten-person underground operation, not the founder of a thirty year old nonprofit with 168 employees.
My experience is that impromptu mentoring has essentially gone away and only concerted efforts remain. When I was stuck on a problem or just needed a break I used to walk around the software lab and look for someone who looked frustrated and then try to solve their problem. Obviously I don't do that anymore. Instead I do have (probably not enough) screen sharing work sessions with other engineers when there is a problem that one of us needs to talk through. It is a good opportunity to learn about how others work and get some work done.
> Also, it's a poor example of deskilling, because ABS was designed to do something humans cannot do.

Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_braking

Wikipedia> Anti-lock braking system performs these operations automatically many times per second in rapid succession. A human driver can perform one lock-release cycle per second with practice.

Wikipedia> While cadence braking is effective on most surfaces, it is less effective at slowing the vehicle than keeping the tires continually at the optimum braking point which is called threshold braking. The latter is an expert driving technique that is even more difficult to learn than cadence braking, and again has been largely superseded by ABS.

> I'm not sure why you're comparing an very logic driven system like ABS to self-driving ("AI"). ABS follows pretty simple logic, comparing wheel sensors (and in more modern cars, additionally: accelerometers and if the vehicle has stability control, a yaw rate sensor aka gyro.) There's little "fuzzy" or subjective evaluations in ABS, there's no need to "train" it, and so on.

See the larger point I was making about deskilling. ABS was indeed never seen as something that would require much intelligence. Route planning however was.

But thanks to the AI effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect), as soon as we understand and implement something, it's no longer seen as AI.

That's just a side-show. My main point was really about deskilling through technology, even without or before AI. So a bit of a tangent to the comment I was replying to.

So IIUC the IDK explicitly allows consumers to sideload apps.

"The lack of ability for central banks to inflate the monetary supply."

I am not clear how this helps. If bitcoin/ether becomes the dominant currency, 2008 crisis is still possible, but the recovery is not. So it seems like it would make things worse, not better?

Countries used to go to war over gold and silver, it does not seem to be economically beneficial to have a deflationary currency.
Looking at the first table, the vaccinated cohort was obviously WAY less healthy to begin with. As expected; sick people were more inclined to protect themselves. Especially with the cutoff for inclusion being May 2021, presumably before younger, healthier people were being vaccinated.

Am I missing something in the methods that would control for this or... is it just that dumb?
I would recommend Vernor Vinge. A Fire Upon the Deep / A Deepness in the Sky are both excellent.

Also relevant to this particular thread, his book Rainbow's End features AR/wearable technology.

Probably best to learn Emacs first, because as a lazy vi user trying to learn Emacs I've really struggled. I've given up on the Emacs tutorial multiple times, it hurts my fingers and I really only want to use Emacs with evil-mode, but there doesn't seem to be a tutorial for that use case. Evil-mode does come with its own evil-tutor, but it seems to be just a lightly edited vimtutor with very little Emacs-specific information.

(Not to mention that installing evil in vanilla Emacs requires too much hassle, including first manually adding melpa as a package repo — which drove me to spend a lot of time trying to make do with viper mode — and later choosing yet another package to be able to redo, unless you use the unreleased Emacs 28. That pain is probably my fault for giving up on Doom because its support chat requires a nonfree client, and for not trying spacemacs yet.)

But Roku already has some things already built in. Including a very functional remote. Sure all of that can be created on a raspberry pi - but is it really worth the effort? Plus cost wise, Roku would be cheaper than a raspberry pi by the time you add up the cost of all the individual components.

More important is the name itself. A billion dollar company just renamed itself based on a name Stephenson coined.

He’s right that compensation isn’t legally due—but he should be proud!
This is quite possibly the weakest fair use argument imaginable. Actually, I take this one step further: this is not a fair use argument, it's a copyright reform argument; and I doubt a court is going to give you the reform you want.

The CDL program rests on a shaky legal theory that's already proven wrong by Capitol Records v. ReDigi. That is, it seeks to argue that as long as we have some DRM technology that lets us recreate the circumstances of something protected by first sale or copyright exhaustion (which, btw, is separate from Fair Use), then we should have first sale rights.

I like the spirit of this argument, but it will not persuade a court; because the current law doesn't work this way. First sale works specifically because the act of physical resale does not create a copy and does not tread upon the copyright monopoly even a little. Copying something and then destroying the original (as in ReDigi) does. If you want digital first sale you have to ask Congress for that.
