I mean... the entire focus of the narrative completely changed. Matrix 1 was all about "destroy the Matrix and free humanity" while Matrix 2/3 was all about "save Zion from the IRL machine invasion".

And I'm not saying it isn't coherent in that one can't follow from the other, or that you can't find a way to make a linear narrative out of that. I'm just saying it's a very pronounced change in focus/tone/direction, whatever you want to call it. And to me, from the very first time I saw Matrix 2, I had this strong sense of "wow, that came out of nowhere and went off on a weird direction". It felt very disjointed and weird to me all along.
That is very good dataviz
Yeah, but the goal is to kick off two async calls in parallel. The order in which you await is unimportant for that goal. If awaiting promise2 first solves the problem then that's the solution!
Yeah I have noticed the breading is different than traditional Southern Fried Chicken. Usually there's a garlic soy sauce and some spicy sauce made with gochugaru. Also the pieces are more like what Americans would call chicken tenders opposed to whole thighs, breasts, and drumsticks. So I guess the restaurants here are pretty consistent with what you describe.
"Comparison With e.g. LineageOS, CalyxOS, /e/

LineageOS, CalyxOS, /e/ and other Android distributions essentially rely on the standard Android which only comes with its own selection of apps. GrapheneOS, on the other hand, is an elaborately hardened Android and should therefore be seen as its own operating system. In addition, security updates are often provided late by the distributions mentioned at the beginning."

Pretty low to call out other Android projects in a marketing release but falls directly in line with how the GrapheneOS project treats the community. Won't be buying this or recommending it.

"Joe the Plumber" is a phrase from American political dialogue. It is a phrase that means, politically, a perfectly average dude.

In my comment, it is to be understood that an exceptional individual like Einstein is worth more to the species than an average person. It is not to imply average people are worthless, but rather that exceptional people are rare and the species values them.
> Structural separation of production and distribution combined with compulsory licensing would probably be a better solution.

I'm surprised the EU hasn't thought of this yet, especially if they could then force distributors to list/recommend/stream a certain percentage of EU-produced cultural works.

As a compromise, there could be an exclusivity period for any first-party content, after which the compulsory licensing system would apply so that third-parties could distribute it. The license fee paid by the third-party would have to be capped to the rate used internally. Without proper structural separation that number could be subject to some Hollywood accounting, but this would be something for legislators to fix later.
I think this would work really well for a small and experienced team, though where I work, we have a lot of developers fresh out of college, and I would be pretty nervous setting them loose without close review of their work.
Exactly what I was thinking. “In healthy people”… how do you know you don’t have latent schizophrenia?

> There never would have been enough nobles for their failsons to have any kind of measurable genetic impact on the wider society;

I'm not sure if this is true - I seem to recall studies that can clearly see a genetic impact of just a single particular noble (Gengis Khan), so it seems plausible that the genetic impact of nobles would be oversized as high-status males can have many children from the society in which they have violent power, and their children (even if bastards) have less issues with childhood malnutrition and early death.

I find them neutral, they are what we make it.

Advancements in technology can be detrimental to the environment, lethal, make us dumber, worsen quality of life in several ways, help control and imprison us, and any combination of the previous.

And "expansion into the universe" means little if it's for some lucky few. Why should the rest care, just because if Earth is whiped out those few get to "continue"?

That's even assuming it's doable without something like generation ships - which even at the solar system level is a big if.

The trouble with engaging in good faith with that kind of ideology is that it's often used, deliberately or otherwise, to obscure class conflict. Because racial tensions are seen as both more personal and more impossible to solve than class tensions, it tends to drag the conversation out of the realm where solutions could even be proposed. Funnily enough that bit of obfuscation seems to mostly benefit people with enough family wealth to afford a degree at an American university[1].

I had a very off-putting exchange with a redditor in which I argued that the class interests of the working poor and those dependent on welfare were quite different, and that this explained much of the demographic fault-lines in the 2016 election. He immediately accused me of equating ethnic minorities with the welfare class, despite the fact the Trump administration was at the time very publicly talking about the recent drop in black unemployment. For all of the Reddit community's talk about acknowledging one's own problems, the fact that he personally was equating black people with unemployment and his political enemies were doing the opposite wasn't something he could consciously engage with. "America has a racism problem, but only the half I don't identify with". I don't doubt that kind of projection is present all over the place where this subject comes up.

[1]I wouldn't be surprised if the fact much of Europe subsidises post secondary education contributes to the fact that the debate is different there - not enough of a class marker if you don't need a private tutor to make it over the line.
AMD actually did this in the distant past with the original 32-bit Athlons.

They used the DEC Alpha EV6 bus from the 21264 microprocessor. It would be interesting to have seen DEC StrongARM adapted to the same bus, and a single motherboard able to run any of these CPUs with the right BIOS.

He mentions "trust" a lot.

Is that why we do code reviews, because we don't trust each other? I find this attitude problematic. We do code reviews because humans make mistakes. Requirements can be misinterpreted. Different work in progress can be in conflict with each other. Reviews are a good way to learn from each other and keep abreast of what work is occurring outside your own bubble. Not doing code reviews because of "trust" kind of misses the point.

I find even just cursory and brief code reviews are beneficial and often pick up on issues. It also creates a more collaborative team and gives me a reason to communicate with devs I might not otherwise communicate with, even if that is just a brief comment on a PR.

Rejected.
>What do you do when you encounter a serious bug in your OS of choice?

When I say serious bug I typically mean serious OS breaking bugs.

Some examples from these past years(these all happened different years):

1) After clean install, desktop crashes after first reboot and I am thrown into terminal. Result: Stop usage and move on.

2) After Clean install, I wish to copy some files to an fat32 USB drive(Sandisk purchased directly from them). I get some error while the file is being copied, the drive is unmounted and then when I go to another system running Windows to check if my file was copied, the drive is corrupted causing all my files to be lost. Result: Stop usage and move on.

3) After clean install, I go ahead and connect a second monitor. Now my desktop becomes a garbled mess on both screens. I disconnect screen and the desktop remains a garbled mess on the main screen. I force reboot and upon reboot now I have been dropped to the terminal. Result: Stop usage and move on.

These issues don't happen on Windows and Mac in my experience. Don't get me wrong, Windows is degrading in usability and Mac is as well (at a much slower pace) but they are not falling apart in these fundamental ways. The very foundations of Linux seem to be built on sand and that does not convey trust when you expect your system to be more than just a toy. This is a machine to get work done on and I depend on it. I cannot be dealing with silly issues like this.

On one hand, this is a bunch of coordination problems, but on the other, it feels like a rational port acting alone could have said "We'll unload your ship only if you let us load it back up with empties" rather than letting unloaded ships to zoom on back to China for the next load.

Presumably there are complexities around this, but it sounds like they want ships to take back empties and the ships aren't because it's not worth the extra time and weight. A single actor, the port, should have the authority and incentive to demand it.

Curious why that isn't the case.
Interesting but this app doesn’t seem to be having a hard time scraping and publishing the recipe material without copyright.
There have come along "apps" that make it easier, but their cost is high. Usually in the exchange rates they offer you to cash out of it.

Kryptex.org comes to mind. The other month when BTC was at $60+k they were offering an exchange rate of low $50k. Basically a ~17% discount on the rate. That is a big fee, especially when you then ask to be cashed out to some other method they then charge 10-20% for (like USD bank transfers, etc).

Best bet is to install something like T-Rex miner, hook it to some pool and forget about it once you learn the 1 line bat file you need.
James Flynn of Flynn effect fame is one of the authors of the paper, which makes the weakness of the conclusions all the more surprising. We've got paper showing rises in scores in the US, falls in Scandinavia and a sharp rise and fall over the space of of dozen years in Estonian boys and we're worrying about the possibility of 'dysgenic mating' and loss of those capable of higher level deductive reasoning abilities and not just concluding that comparing different cohorts taking the test isn't telling us very much?

The most logical conclusion of the data presented in paper is that the test results is unstable between dissimilar environments to the extent we shouldn't really bother using it for comparisons between populations (as opposed to an extremely crude measure of relative abilities within a cohort, where it is generally better than other crude proxies for actual human capability), still less mourning real world losses of reasoning ability. Tbh I thought doubting the tests was the page Flynn was already on.
Any average is a reduction of dimensionality.

Strange that people never see it that way. I wonder if they don’t worry about it in other everyday contexts (e.g. floor plans)?
That's a personal failure of empathy. Any reasoning beyond need is a rationalization. Humans can survive without killing animals.

Nice try though.
Right - thanks for pointing that out!
Yeah, a lot of people try to ascribe a causal link from drugs to mental illness when it’s probably the other way around. People undiagnosed but suffering from early stage mental illness often self-medicate, combined with the fact that there’s a lot of overlap in the ages where people experiment with drugs and when mental illness typically presents itself enough to lead to a diagnosis.
This is really interesting. Have you published this approach somewhere? It'd be nice to read more about it.
Yup, at which point it is no longer the manufacturer's problem other than reputationally (i.e. if the car is extremely prone to problems after the initial 3 year lease/warranty period).

I am of the opinion that the majority of modern cars produced today - especially as you go higher up the price/luxury spectrum - are disposable appliances designed for obsolescence. The base mechanical bits might continue to function fine, but all the fancy technology won't be so fancy after 5 years, and certainly not 10 years.

I think Teslas actually let you upgrade the CPU on the infotainment system (correct me if wrong)? Plus wider spread and use of CarPlay/Android Auto bakes in a little bit of future-proofing.
Nope, you need to be compatible with the architecture specification, and it lays out exactly what can be implementation defined and what can't. E.g. you're allowed some freedom in what features to implement (Apple doesn't implement EL3 and this is fine), and you can add implementation defined system registers (Apple has a huge number of them, e.g. to implement TSO for Rosetta). But you can't decide not to support mandatory features (Apple forces on VHE mode, which is not legal - VHE is optional, non-VHE mode isn't), nor can you add extensions to the core ISA. Apple added AMX, memory compression/decompression, a variant of the AT instructions that outputs to a GPR, and the whole Guarded Execution feature (two new parallel exception levels and machinery to call to/from them and lock down things to them), and possibly more, all of them in reserved instruction encoding space.
Thinking about it from my dialect, I do think there is a stronger voicing on the "s" in "scent" and "cent" but not the "s" in "sent" (might even be as distinct as /s/ versus /z/? But probably with a partial-voiced marker on one or the other?). Also, I think "cent" is the only one where the vowel seems always forced, not schwa-ed /ə/.

It's not always the case, but there can be a reason to believe that spelling differences may have arisen in such cases from trying to explain subtle distinctions that mattered to someone's dialect before a lot of the modern work went into the IPA and actually capturing those subtle differences.

I suppose blockchain can be a mechanism for the reification of pure information. So turning something that only has a value, into something that has a unique identity that can be 'pointed to'.

In the real world I might have a physical key (or some other interesting object) - there is exactly one of it and it exists in exactly one place (though of course I can create copies - but they are new objects).

In the virtual world this is a bit harder to construct and enforce - information is entirely ephemeral, and has no concrete existence or place. Maybe blockchain can provide that (in the context of the chain only of course).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm#Newton%E2%8... is interesting but I wouldn’t want Google Sheets to display it in a modal every time I hit the “/” key. A recipe needs a very high signal:noise ratio when it’s going to be followed in real time while food is cooking.
That happens even without snow. I've been stuck on Amtrak trains because there was some object on the track (crashed vehicles) and the train just sat there for hours and they refuse to open the doors even though were were in the center of Oakland and could have happily just walked out.

Amtrak is not a great example of how trains should work.

Hat tip to Matt Levine's Money Stuff [0] newsletter,

"WAGMI

Here is I guess a song and music video made by some NFTs? I don’t know, I got a press release saying “It is the first band made up of entirely NFT characters and personalities, and also represents the biggest cross-community collaboration between several of the most famous communities in the space: CryptoPunks, Bored Ape, Cool Cat, World of Women, and a Wicked Cranium.” Okay! Okay! Okay! The song is called “WAGMI” (for “we’re all gonna make it”) and the lyrics include “all the FUD don’t matter to me, we got community” and honestly it’s not too bad? I wish a team of NFTs wrote this newsletter."

Yeah but there is a middle ground. There is the fun local bar that's hidden on a back street, not the generic bar that most visitors are going to because it's recommended by everyone.

You can be a tourist and still get to experience the fun parts of life the way locals do, without having to get a 9-5 in the town.

The older I get, the more I think that social intelligence - the ability to know what other people are thinking, the ability to convince other people to your way of thinking - is as important, if not more important, than the analytical intelligence measured by IQ, because it's through social intelligence that things get done in this world. I am not aware of any test or measure which are widely used to judge how socially intelligent someone is.
