Yeah I have the same impression. Other languages don't seem to have the same drama issues. Rust came out of Mozilla, which is super steeped in SF social justice culture (see the antics of their CEO). It seems like that culture was carried into Rust.
The "crypto" part of the word "cryptocurrency" is short for "cryptography".

If instead "crypto" is short for "cryptocurrency", then it would follow that "cryptocurrency" is short for "cryptocurrencycurrency", which is short for "cryptocurrencycurrencycurrency", which is short for "cryptocurrencycurrencycurrencycurrency" etc.

I'm just going to stick with "crypto" being short for "cryptography", with an added mental note that the short form is ambiguous. I guess I just don't have the patience to see an infinite recursion through to the end.

>Does Rust really have a community if noone but a few select member have access to the information regarding why things are changing and the community members can't even discuss the forbidden topics in "unofficial spaces" either. How do I decide if I an getting involved with a community or just an elite club.

As a first order approximation, the word "community" is so overused as to mean nothing. It's often used to obscure a power structure, or pretend a mass of people are more cohesive than they are. Sometimes both. Don't go into any software project expecting more.

Rust is a big club and you ain't in it. You can still use it, submit patches, maybe even work towards a position in their project hierarchy. The important thing is you got your first strong sniff of knowing where you stand in relation to the club.

Black Lives Matter is a slogan used by disparate groups for a variety of causes. The slogan "Black Lives Matter" is necessarily one focused on the human rights of black people.

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s in the US also involved violent riots by some actors, and there was public debate between sides on whether segregation was intrinsically a cause of inequality, similar to how there is debate today between sides on whether our criminal justice system is intrinsically a cause of racial inequality. If one didn't view segregation as intrinsically unequal, they might claim that the Civil Rights Movement (though focused on many other issues as is BLM) had "little to do with human rights." Supporting the Civil Rights Movement, a movement that contained numerous groups, goals, and actors (both violent and non-violent), was still a position that doesn't seem to have harmed organizations of the day, and may have even benefitted them.

Well the JTB was the standing model for some 2300 years, so even though there are a few corner cases it doesn't quite cover (Gettier etc), those are corner cases indeed. It doesn't invalidate JTB any more than Einstein invalidated Newtonian physics.

The question is what we mean when we say knowledge. I don't think modelling is a good way of answering that question. Of course there is going to be a connection between perception and knowledge, how else would the knowledge enter us? But David Hume could have told you that.
Right, and the suggestion is that this human being (and all the other ones) should be responsible for managing their own emotional state, instead of shifting the burden onto everyone else.

There is another tangential problem with relying on online information stores.

At least with news media, if there was a significant error in reporting, that would go out in an upcoming edition. Both would be recorded.

In recent times, news outlets, and other publications, _silently_ update things without issuing a correction or making it obvious there was a correction and the only way you can find out is by the internet archive, if it was there.

> The laws you are describing are never going to be put into effect. It's just not going to happen. I don't believe the EU is full of people stupid enough to let it happen.. and even if it did, all the member states don't just automatically adopt and enforce every law immediately without thought. There are plenty of reasonable member states that just wouldn't accept these insane laws, or have populations which wouldn't accept them.

I think that’s wishful thinking, given the previous experience of Clipper chip and 40-bit encryption rules in the USA and the Investigatory Powers Act in the UK.

Even as a British national living in Berlin, when I submit an app to Apple I have to agree to let the US government know about any use of cryptography by the app (by my reading including HTTPS, which is hope is merely legal caution rather than actual obligation).
- Have you ever, e.g., computed the sinus of a floating point number in C (sinf) ?

- Have you ever multiplied a matrix with a vector, or a matrix with a matrix (GEMM) using BLAS?

- Have you ever done an FFT ?

- Have you used C++ barriers? Or pthreads? Or mutexes?

An optimized implementation achieves ~100% of theoretical peak performance of a CPU on all of those, and these are all tailored to each CPU model.

There is software on any running system doing those things all the time.
Running at 0% of the peak just means increased power consumption, latency, time to finish, etc.

Generic versions perform at < 100%, often at ~0% (0.1%, 0.001%, etc.) of theoretical peak.

Somebody has to write software for doing this things for the actual hardware, so that you can then call them from python.

IBM has dozens of "open source" bounties open for PowerPC, and they pay real $$$, but nobody implements them.

---

Porting software to PowerPC is only as simple as doing make if the libraries your software uses (the C standard library, the libm library, BLAS, etc. ) all have optimized implementations, which isn't the case.

So when considering PowerPC, you have to divide the paper numbers by 100 if you want to get the actual numbers normal code recompiled with make gets in practice. And then you have to invest extra $$$ into improving that software, cause nobody will do it for you.
Fair enough. I haven't seen it myself so I can only speculate.

> I know memorization is seen negatively from a pedagogical standpoint, and schoolchildren find it alienating and discouraging, but I think when you have enough experience to understand the value of it, so that the work to achieve it isn't such a negative experience in itself, judicious application of it has a lot of power to make your work easier and your learning experiences richer.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/09/when-m... - Article I read years ago on this, I think it helps to frame the debate of memorization vs anti-memorization. In particular this sentence:

> I define memorization as learning an isolated fact through deliberate effort. [emphasis in original]

I'll emphasize isolated fact. A lot of people who say memorization and rote learning are bad or ineffective are probably framing it in the same sense as this author. They (mostly, there are exceptions) aren't arguing against committing information to memory, but of committing information to memory with no (or minimal) understanding attached to it.

If you just learn isolated facts, you become a meat sack Chinese room (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room). You can't connect the dots and perform the real interesting work of synthesis (combining information and ideas) or derivation (from what you know, determine new results). The author talks about students "knowing" that the sine of pi/2 is 1. What do they actually know, though? What can they do with that fact on its own without any understanding of what "sine" itself means and the contexts in which it is used?

no, this is an all-too-common misconception, because you’re missing the other half of the distribution where accidents were avoided because the car speeded past an accident that would have happened at a lower speed.

speed increases the severity of an accident (e.g., more fatalities vs. injuries), but doesn’t generally cause the accident. distractedness and impairment are overwhelmingly the primary causes of auto accidents. it’s important for policy decisions that we keep this very clear, and why we have ineffective, revenue-oriented programs like speed enforcement rather than attention-oriented policies.
Is getting offended about someone insulting you or who starts discussions which make people angry unreasonable?

I'm genuinely curious, maybe I misunderstand what it means to be offended.
Keeping this to a CPU vs CPU architecture performance conversation since the comment was about x86 vs ARM not who has the best overall chip:

- GPU on the M1 Pro/Max is really impressive but irrelevant

- M1 Pro/Max came out a year later than the CPUs they are being compared to here

- The M1 takes 133% the transistor count on a generation newer TSMC node to get as far past the 5800 as it does

So from a CPU architecture perspective I really can't write x86 as having hit a brick wall to the point it will never be able to keep up with ARM, that's just not what the M1 has shown.

From an overall perspective though yes the M1, particularly Pro/Max with their larger GPUs (can't wait for mine to arrive!), are hands down the best overall systems of their classes right now I just don't think that has as much to do with the CPU being ARM instead of x86 as GP made it out to be.

For past year anyone catching covid at my wife’s school caused a massive disruption for dozens of people. With insane rules where sick kid positive still required teacher mother to go in anyway as well as other sibling. But anyone in the teachers class would be quarantined.

A simple stomach ache meant kid was home for 3 days. They figured that one out fast.

After a 3 months of total insanity you started hearing kids say things like,” my momma gonna swat me if goto the nurse”.
Teachers were guilt tripped if they got sick. So Teachers would not report any symptoms, etc.

Now they just test everyone weekly regardless of vaccine or not.

> The illusion that a government mandated backdoor will remain accessible just to the government is not going to last much longer than the first experiment in this direction.

I'm sympathetic to that argument, but it seems to be employed very selectively by the tech industry.

We already rely on many backdoors of exactly that kind in form of mandatory auto updates. Not only is this seen as perfectly fine, it's widely regarded as a security best practice.

Why can Apple or Google or Microsoft manage to keep their signature keys secure for decades while any keys managed by a government agency would leak with mathematical certainty?

As biased as I am I strongly disagree. You can get really far with the db drivers that are in the stdlib (the Nim Forum works very well with just db_sqlite which IMO disproves that Nim is useless for web dev). For something more advanced we need somebody who likes working on these kinds of things to write up a few amazing async db drivers in Nim :)
> It is theoretically possible, given enough work, run Python directly in Wasm.

To be fair that's not just theoretical, the Pyodide project does exactly that:

https://pyodide.org/en/stable/

There have been several ports of Python to JS or to wasm over the years. Pyodide is the most mature today, but another interesting one is pypy.js which ported PyPy and even included a JIT!

But I agree that CheerpX allows running more things. There will always be a use case for "just run an x86 binary" when you don't have the source code. But for things where the source is available a proper port to wasm like Pyodide will be faster.
No.

[Remainder to understand my explanation: When "lava" is under earth, it's called "magma". I had to look at Wikipedia because I never remember. https://xkcd.com/903/ ]

There is a big mantle plume under the Galapagos islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_plume . Imagine a lot of magma, and some part of it escapes and goes to the volcanoes and you see it as lava.

They discovered that there is a "river" of magma that goes from the plume of magma under the Galapagos to Panama.

In Panama the magma meets some underneath water, an some of the gas disolved in the magma goes to the water. Then the water colds down, and after some time it appears in a few springs in Panama.

They realize this, because they analyzed the gases disolved in the water of the springs.

There is no water traveling from the Galapagos to Panama.

Only a small minority of Americans--including ~80% of black Americans--even accept your framing of the problem. In particular, by all appearances, police shootings aren't unequally distributed by race when we account for even the most obvious relevant factors (e.g., violent crime rates), but your whole framing depends on this. In other words, if this isn't true, then the Republicans and a significant minority (if not majority) of Democrats aren't white nationalists but rather opposed to police reforms which can't work* because the problem is misstated.

Works is step 0.

Works efficiently is step 10000.

x86 is at step 10000, ARM at step 5000, power is at step 0.

Firefox "worked" before this post on power. Now somebody put enough effort to actually make it usable.

The fact that you don't see people complaining about Firefox PowerPC performance on Linux is not because performance was good - it was unusably slow - but because nobody uses Firefox on Power.

Think about what that means. Think about how many bugs in Firefox are reported _every day_ for x86 and ARM, and how many are reported for PowerPC. Is that also because the PowerPC version has no bugs? (no, it is because nobody uses it, nobody reports them, and nobody fixes them).
