>> What you don't get to do

You don't get to decide how others express themselves, not in a free country anyway. That is why we have freedom of speech. It exists whether you agree with what is being said or not. You can't have it any other way.
I think what you are missing is that for NFT adherents, they don't care about the original content, just the NFT.

btw, I own an NFT that represents all natural numbers, therefore all possible NFTs.
No government in human history has lasted more than couple hundred years. I doubt the US will be any different. The only question is if it'll be violent civil war or if it'll just be an uneventful transition to the next republic like many European countries in the last century.
I doubt it. There's no need to do anything detectable to turn off the engine. There are three things he could have flipped to kill the engine, then put back in the same position (mags, fuel valve, mixture). Then, it's unlikely that a crashed airplane is going to be in such good condition you can prove nothing was wrong with it.
It’s cross compiled, so all the tests are brought along and test fine. And god, there are so many tests.
Right. Imagine if a large passenger jet loses all 4 engines at cruising altitude and then the rudder also stops working. The plane starts gliding toward the ground and the pilot is having no luck at getting it flying again. The pilot finally gives up and says “I can’t fly this thing” and walks away (or is told to walk away). The same thing happens with the copilot. The passengers then select a couple of other passengers with flight experience but they also can’t steer the thing meaningfully. Meanwhile the plane is still rapidly falling out of the sky.

Finally the passengers ask who else is willing to try. Someone steps forward and says, “I can do it. I’ve got experience with engine maintenance.” That person tries and fails to restart the engines and ends up crashing the plane into a field.

Who’s responsible for the plane crash? Is it really the last person who tried to pilot the thing? They took over when the plane had already dropped to 3000 feet. Sure, they clearly failed at the job of flying the heap of busted scrap metal. Maybe they also made a mistake by focusing on engine #3 when engine #4 was more promising in hindsight. But also they stepped in to fly a plane that was about to crash. A crash was the expected outcome at that point by anyone with a clue. It’s wrong to pin it all on them just because they were the last to try. Especially when one of the previous pilots turned down an offer from a huge passing airship to safely bring everyone on board. And maybe that last person is a really incompetent pilot. I’m just not sure how you establish that from what happened here.

(Can you tell that Mayer is the final pilot and Yang turned down the airship offer? It’s some subtle metaphor I’ve got going here.)
A very lazy way to do this would be to compare industry adoption rates.

In three of five FAANG companies are using Nim, then it's probably a stable technology.

FYI bluetooth microphones almost all degrade to some horrifically terrible codec that makes voice recognition much less reliable.

I don't understand why in 2021 Bluetooth degrades to "worse than a 1970's land line" in quality as soon as something tries to use the microphone.
Your own comment suggests that Postgres is dominating over Oracle, simply by saying that it’s been adopted as a major offering by the top 3 cloud providers. How is that not a reflection of the database?
When you have an engine failure, don't you think the most exciting, watchable, share-able drama would happen inside the cockpit? He has a camera in the cockpit, but he chose to only show footage from takeoff, cruise, and ditch.

If attempts at recovery, contacting ATC, or searching for a safe landing ever occurred, he chose not to include them. Which is very strange for a person who is clearly editing for drama and virality in the rest of the video. Why didn't he include that footage?

A reasonable suspicion therefore is that he didn't include them because he didn't have any footage of them, because he never tried to restart the engine or call for help, because he wanted the drama of the ditch and crash.
Thank you for the reply. The article didn’t give details what it how it actually works so I went directly to the company’s site and found this [1]

… have a long history for the analysis of large-size data since they achieve universal data compression. In other words, you can use this tool to reduce the size of any type of data, while keeping all the important information that is needed for Machine Learning.

So it sounds like the whole point is to reduce the data size and then feed it into GPUs like normal ML. Kind of a neat idea.

I always wondered if a foreign country could create near microscopic, or at least bug size drones ...land them around the country slowly on top of transformers until there's one on every transformer and power station/sub-station in strategic locations...then poof .. send a tiny zap, or just ignite via .01 ounces of napalm, or something... something that small would be hard to notice, as a bonus they could also do the same at every fueling station.

Crypto is going to fail and with it the zoomer/millennial retirement plan, then the stock market bubble economy may actually pop hard. We could hit >20% unemployment overnight if it all unwinds hard. Then angry people may got a bit Rwanda here and there and engage in some local purges (probably not in major cities). It is unlikely to look like armies marching on each other cities.
I agree and I wish more people understood this distinction.

To say that NFTs are all scams is like saying that pixel shaders are all games. One is often used to implement the other, but they're not the same thing.

NFTs will likely find niches outside of signifying ownership. For instance, I'd like to see them used to denote package maintainer status. That way you could have automation that allows package maintainers to do certain maintenance things like publish the hash of the next version, and if they transfer the token to a new maintainer, no permission rejiggering would be required.
So what is the solution to posting sensitive information on an open platform where people can easily lie or cheat? Your version of Web3, despite its head start, is no better off than the so called 'grifter version' (grifters dog piling innovation doesn't tell you anything about the legitimacy of that innovation; see "Dot-Com Bubble"[1]).

Let's start you off with the very basics; a low stakes example. What is a solution to email spam? You incur a small cost to honest senders and a large cost to mass senders. We'll call it Hashcash[2], and as a user you will only accept emails from senders with a header including your email and the date, which hashes to a sufficiently small value of your choosing, the smaller, the harder it was to send. Every sender gets a linear increase in amount of work to send, but for normal email users sending one email at a time its a small constant, while mass senders increase this value for each recipient. Because of the economics of spam email, where the profit is made off a few gullible recipients while the majority ignore it, Hashcash makes spam emails a losing strategy, at least in this simple example. This is an economic solution, and it is also exactly what the primary cryptocurrency does.

Bitcoin is primitive, and its data throughput reflects that. I won't be shilling or giving you tips, but imagine a blockchain system which ensures openess (no Infura Problem[3] as is common in Ethereum sized blockchains) and a scalable model for pricing and putting data on chain. It may be more expensive or slower than a federated system, but a system with the proper economic incentives and deterrents is now capable of doing something a centralized or federated system cannot: hosting data for which there is massive economic incentive to distort without a profitable way to actually do so, or more specifically, a predictable cost of attack that rises with subsequent block confirmations (just like Bitcoin's security model). Now you can price your data, and wait the amount of time that correlates to the cost of attack that would not be worth the money it takes to cheat.

Hey I liked all the examples.

Thought you might like this one: A Geometric Analysis of Five Moral Principles (OUP 2017)

Ethics using vectors or from a description of the technique: The geometric approach derives its normative force from the Aristotelian dictum that we should “treat like cases alike.” The more similar a pair of cases are, the more reason do we have to treat the cases alike. These similarity relations can be analyzed and represented geometrically. In such a geometric representation, the distance in moral space between cases reflects their degree of similarity. The more similar a pair of cases are from a moral point of view, the shorter is the distance between them.

I have it exactly right. This is a public health issue at the core, which means that some speech must be suppressed in order to protect the population.

If you claimed that the world is flat (regardless of whether you actually believe it or not), most people would rightly dismiss you as a crank, but some people would believe you and be deceived. Still, there's no real harm in believing it so that's fine.

Spreading doubts or false claims about health issues changes things, because your words can now have a deleterious effect on those gullible enough to fall for them (case in point: COVID-19). Society protects these people by silencing your speech.
Both make it abundantly clear that their "survival" situation is artificially contrived (i.e.: traveled into the target area with acknowledge purpose of concocting a "survival" scenario, have safety teams either on-site or nearby, have a decent idea how to get out if not an actually arranged plan).

Seems this guy is claiming it was a genuine malfunction/crash/survival case, while giving numerous "tells" that it wasn't. Deliberately disabling and abandoning a functioning aircraft in-flight over potentially habitated/occupied territory (i.e.: it's gonna crash somewhere, and perpetrator doesn't know it won't kill someone) is actionably reckless endangerment.
This is one I'm believing more and more. We're definitely heading for third-worldization of the US economy where fewer people are working on building better mousetraps and more people are engaging in more zero sum scamming of everyone else.

INT_MAX and INT16_MAX are not interchangeable.

> I wonder if the compiler just used the full register. I'll have to check the disassembly.

No need, you'd figure this out just by knowing what the C spec says and by knowing what the value of INT_MAX is. When you compute the remainder in C, the operands first undergo "integer promotion" and then go through the "usual arithmetic conversions". The result is that you end up with two values of the same type, no narrower than int.

So in C, the following function:

short broken_modulo(short x, short y) {
return ((x % y) + y) % y;
}

Is equivalent to the following, with the implicit casts made explicit:

short broken_modulo(short x, short y) {
int ix = (int)x;
int iy = (int)y;
// All int, no short.
int result = ((ix % iy) + iy) % iy;
return (short)result;
}

Note that this conversion happens in ALL C implementations, because it is mandated by the spec, and no implementation-defined stuff is happening here. Do note that it is possible for int to be 16-bit, e.g.,

// Possible.
typedef int int16_t;

It's just uncommon to see that in this millennium. I used "int" and "short" above rather than "int16_t" because the exact rank of "int16_t" vs "int" with regard to arithmetic conversions is implementation dependent, but the rank of "short" vs "int" is not implementation dependent.
Yes, math is art! Math is worldbuilding, one theory at time. There's an astounding amount of creativity that goes in our definitions and proofs.

One could instead consider that math already exists, and we are just discovering it; but this is as useful as saying that all images already exist (in the set of all pixel matrices) and digital painters are just discovering images that were already there all the time.

The end result isn't all that matters; it also matters how we get there.
I wish there was some API that abstracted the DB and all technical details and you could connect nodes to it that are specific databases with specific capabilities and it would delegate as necessary.
Asteroids, and super volcanoes are on too big a timescale to really predict w/ a lot of accuracy when it's "due" imho....

Carrington-level events though are roughly every 100-150 years, of that we're pretty certain and it's been like 160 years since the last one.

A Cascadia Tsunami apparently hits every 240 years (on average according to VERY good records from Japan), the last one would've decimated basically half the state of Washington.... probably most of Seattle, etc.. not sure about if it goes up to Vancouver, etc...

As far as things that are due to hit us, besides global warming related catastrophes, I think Carrington and Cascadia Tsunami's probably have the most possibility of occurring soonest. Carrington is the scariest though... as it basically affects everyone globally and sets us back to the 1800s..

Why are these stories so important to us? Upthread we learn that this debate was as staged as any of Hillary's. Anything planned in advance can't have been an actual turning point. USA popular discourse was shockingly dumb in the 1980s, so it's possible that Jodie Foster had already clinched Reagan's reelection a couple of months after his inauguration.

Depression has an enormous economic impact. Fatigue and pain (depression related symptoms) are some of the most common reasons people can't work in the wealthier part of the world. If the treatment costs $4000 dollars yearly and makes the difference between debilitating depression and functioning taxpayer that is self financing for the public healthcare.

Not to mention the personal suffering.

Exposure to plastics during pregnancy can raise blood pressure
Searched comments for this. Found at bottom, battered and faded, but yes, that is exactly what it would be, I agree. However, I also accepted that being glib about it and calling it soma ignores what it's like to live with clinical, total physiological depression and that this is real hope.

I'm not scolding either, I literally laughed at this myself and came here to say something along those lines, but giving a generous sop to some people I fundamentally disagree with - it was a laugh that signalled an opportunity to empathize with the subject of it. Feels gross even saying that, and I believe the soma thing is a legit question, but even at the risk of arming enemies, it's worth elevating the commentary a bit because of what is on the other side of it. We don't make b-movie zombie references whenever there is a new chemo treatment with promise against cancer, and if someone depressed said to me, "hey thanks and f-you for making my need for the first viable treatment just as stigmatized as the disease," I would have earned the criticism honestly.

I also realize this is what only a truly master soma propagandist would say as part of a campaign for the coming change, but my realization was sincere, and anyway, there's also no way they're this good.
Not exactly.

My argument is that the story of the per capita efficiency of city dewelpers is nothing more than a convenient story.

Where we go from there I leave to the reader but at least dispelling the myth allows us to see the world with open eyes and move forward.
> the truth came from A, not from the passage
How can an interpretation attesting the truth of two passages exist while the passages are individually untrue? There seems to be a logic error here.

> what they're effectively claiming is that their interpretations are inerrant.

I don’t think A is claiming that, as the most basic understanding of Christianity understands that the individual is terribly flawed and errant.

If your presupposition for this conclusion is based on your earlier point might have either misstated something or you’re claiming a conclusion without an expressed premise.
Great article! I think you’ve done a great job of introducing these difficult concepts in simple language. I saved to Pocket and it’s already got a Best Of label there.

PCA (KLT) can be introduced as a generalization of the Fourier Transform. This can follow from using a cocktail mix analogy to Fourier Series. When I was a TA this was the approach I took with students, which seemed to make things easier for them.

Sociopaths are rising to the top across the board, they don't know how to build things competently they just know how to collect and hold onto power, and mostly they're looking for short term scams and a golden parachute.

That's scary. How would one go about learning more about a possibly hidden infection and remedying it?
This article made me think about how the presence of trains indicate peace. Trains are so vulnerable to attack. Their existence depends on everyone with access to the tracks to trust and agree with their purpose. I suspect if we're mourning these trains, we also mourn the loss of peace and stability in the region.

As an aside, TIL that there are actually two Tripolis, one in Libya and the other in Lebanon.

I have heard references to an ancient, historical Tripoli for years, even in the lyrics of Onward, Christian Soldier. I only knew about the Libyan city and thought the article was mistaken when it referred to "Tripoli, Beirut and Haifa" together as Levantine ports, but "The last train left Tripoli for Beirut at the start of Lebanon’s civil war in 1975" tipped me off that my geography was off, since a train from Libya to Lebanon would not have been possible after Israel closed her borders.

doom emacs lazy loads modules, and everything they do they consider "performance" when adding packages. Mine config loads on a 6 year old PC in 0.5 seconds. Also they make it a bit more manual to update and control when you want to sync/update. The "doctor" feature has helped me find "broken" install reasons. I don't think it's a "knock the ball out of the park" against space-emacs, but I like the way it works better. It also works well with jit and the new "native emacs" branch. It think they are also working closely with emacs-ng on another branch of emacs which is much more radical.

Largely agree with this. The big promise of defi was to “bank the unbanked”, but Eth is

- slow (15 txn/sec, 22-23 with the move to proof of stake)
- expensive (I read somewhere that globally Eth users spend more on 30M USD in fees per day!)
- too volatile to be reliable for everyday banking use cases
- bad for the environment

Blockchain technology is interesting and very powerful, but VCs and founders have all too often put the cart before the horse. A few years ago I spoke to an Aussie tech entrepreneur who had raised funding for his “Airbnb for RV” platform. He didn’t get much attention until he said it was blockchain based. In 9.99 out of 10 cases there is no need for a blockchain when a trusted, centralised ledger will do just fine.

Edge cases I can think of where a blockchain makes sense is in cases such as post-trade activities or trade finance where multiple parties need to settle complex transactions in a distributed way (Contour is a good example of this).

> my parent might not have known what to do

> every parent is just a human who is mostly winging it

Every parent is doing it for the first time, more-or-less; we're all beginners. Kids are designed to be parented by first-time parents. Thay're amazingly resilient in the face of not-very-good parents.

Of course, lots of kids have elder siblings; I don't mean literally "first-time". But few parents have more than three kids, so what I mean, I guess, is that for most parents, it's the first time they've raised one or more kids.

The way you were parented affects the way you do it yourself; it's the only model you have. Sometimes you will try to do it the opposite of the way your parents did it to you, but I think that is usually rather superficial - the attitudes trickle down the generations, however hard you try to break the chain.
