It's experimenting on software, not experimenting on people. "People" aren't the part of the equation that anyone cares about in this scenario.

And I do not think you're even sort of having this argument in good faith. You can't possibly be a rational person and believe that changing UI colors is "deeply problematic experimentation on people".

Forgive me if I'm a little pissed off but this privacy extremism shit is exactly what leads to people looking down at anyone who is a privacy advocate as a nutjob. So, thanks a lot for that, more work for those of us out there who want, to, I dunno, protect citizens from being genuinely fucking spied on and their data passed around like candy so better ads can be served.

But hey, it's all good, you're keeping those pesky UI designers from knowing which of their redesign is better, so at least we got that going for us.
In actuality, how many startups have switched from <cloud> to an alternative setup? Truth of the matter is that once a startup gets to a certain size, they use these to lock in savings versus moving to bespoke infrastructure: https://www.parkmycloud.com/blog/aws-edp/

It's difficult to quantify that but I feel that you are right.

Imagine a term like "RTFM" being coined and used in popular tech formus today. Back in the days "RTFM" was a valid one-word response to any number of questions by a n00b; if said question was in an IRC channel you'd often get kicked or even kick-banned for good measure.

How are modern day conditions not unique?

The printing press changed the world but it was huge expensive hardware and if you had one it meant you were a major industry player and therefore an easy target for copyright enforcement.

Copiers were also expensive machines owned by businesses and they also worked with physical paper. There were inherent limits to the scale of any copying operation.

None of this is comparable to what we have today. Now everyone has a computer that fits in their pockets and is more than capable of instantly creating an unbounded number of copies of any data at nearly zero cost as well as transmitting those copies to anyone else connected to the global network. People infringe copyright every day, most of the time without even realizing it.
Brilliant game.

"Do you have the patience to await right action to arise?" was a sign in my first teachers house (which we would walk by during Kinhin). Meditation's effect on your life and happiness probably varies based on what things are you are not seeing in your normal life. When I started meditating, I immediately discovered I was angry many times a day; several years later, having tried to respond to this reality in various ways, I got divorced as I found it impossible to ignore this previously un-perceived aspect of my reality. Now I am happier and more calm and so on, but the meditation definitely caused some shake up not more calm for quite some time.
Looks good. If it works out better than TextMate, I'm all in.
I agree but think of how much choice you have in emergencies. A person is passed out or has a stroke and 911 is called. Some cities have multiple ambulance companies and the patient has no choice. The ambulance decides that Alpha is the best hospital, its not the closest but is good for strokes. Spouse shows up and is told what procedures is best. Price is never mentioned, no talk about how Alpha and Beta is compared in skill or price. The stroke victim is at Alpha and after the initial treatment, only an idiot would transfer them now. BTW, this is based off personal experience. I did not select the ambulance for my wife, they transported her 15 miles instead of 2 and 5. She died and because I waited a week, the hospital would not allow me to see the bill, instead I got over ten different doctor groups sending me bills. I did not get any choice if they used Charlie or Delta anesthesiologists who worked for two different companies or other brain surgeons. In fact, by the end the hospital explained that I couldn't pay there but had to deal with the different services individually. The last doctor's bill led to me stating what part of my wife's death did they play. Considering they were trying to get over $5000 from me instead of going through my insurance, boy did they drop their request quickly.

Things are getting out of control. Reason has left the building.

Here for instance is a clunker I've had from Cash App support (I'm disputing a package I never received which was returned to the merchant and the merchant won't answer any communications):

"M.J. from Cash Support once more. To be clear, I am not misunderstanding the location of the package at this point, and understand that it has been returned to the sender now.

...

As I mentioned in my previous message, should FedEx update their delivery information to indicate a non-delivered status, we can then process a dispute on your behalf. You can reply back to me here directly should you file the missing package claim with FedEx, they conduct their investigation, and update the package status to reflect non-delivery. At that point we can then move forward on getting a dispute processed for you."

LOL. They know the package has been delivered back to the merchant but they still want me to file a missing package claim for it. The absurdity of the situation is lost on them. All these large companies hire now is soulless drones with no mind of their own.

"Follow the script on the screen, never deviate, even in the face of absurdity. Forever onwards, loyal drone."
Winnie the Pooh entered the public domain 24 days ago. And value has a legal meaning in the context of contracts, regardless of how you personally feel about copyright.

You’re convinced that copyright industry has tremendous power; but apparently you are also convinced that the only way forward is to 100% defeat them. I’m just saying there may be more options than the extremes of total fail / total win.

Also, your ideas about investing in creators are orthogonal to copyright; you can do all of that today and copyright will neither help nor hinder. Commissioning creative works is great and in fact predates copyright.

Nah, the book in the OP has it right (chapter 10, first boxed definition).

The "random key" is the little-omega of standard probability theory. Pick a little-omega, get a realization of the stochastic process.

For example, if the stochastic process is a function of time, then when you pick a little-omega, you get a realization X(t;omega) or just X(t) following the usual shorthand which suppresses the little-omega ("random key").

Once you have fixed that little-omega, you have defined the entire function for all time, X(t), -\infty < t < +\infty.

In his narrative the author is trying to be careful to distinguish between averages over time (say) and averages over the sample space (little-omega).
In the old days, ethernet port names was sequential depending on the order of bringing up the interfaces, and this could vary depending on timing. On some systems, plugging a dongle, or changing what port a USB hub was plugged in, could reorder/rename the ethernet ports and now your config for `eth2` was suddently being applied to a completely different interface.

So they switched to names that depended on stable interface metadata (ethernet vs wifi, pci port...)

But people still want easier to remember device names, so it's still possible to rename your weird (but stable) port name to something more memorable.
I have seen this myself, by I'm unsure if it's just a "ad quality" thing. For example, I can target exact placements on YouTube for my exact niche, and broad Facebook matching will outperform. I have tried YouTube and display for months with nothing within an order of magnitude as effective as Facebook.
I think you're right about what difficulty bomb is like. Not sure why you think that means it's not brilliant.
I know exactly what enpXsY is at a glance, and you can too! It's predictable device naming and it helps a system administrator know what NIC they're dealing with at a glance. "enp2s0" is "en" (Ethernet; there's "wl" for WLAN and "ww" for WWAN), "p2" (PCIe bus 2), "s0" (PCIe slot 0). They can also be named "enoX" if the system knows that it's integrated/onboard, though this is rare, and hotplug PCIe devices read as "ensX".

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Predictabl...

On systems that historically have not used this, it was possible for devices to be non-deterministically assigned to eth0, wlan0, etc. -- and while you could say "just pick a guaranteed order", that violates the principle of least surprise. Predictable device naming is the same, everywhere, on the same hardware.

You can still set aliases if you're more comfortable with that, but this is a really sane default.
So use tax money to pay hospitals so they have revenue?

That was entirely my point.
Bare-metal is so cheap that you can turn everything to 11 to begin with, never have to worry about "scaling" and still come out ahead in terms of cost.

In fact, before the cloud craze came around, internet services used to run just fine despite autoscaling not being commonplace. For a lot of use-cases, autoscaling is a problem created by the cloud's high prices and is unnecessary if hardware is cheap enough to run continuously.
I think it's because while he certainly wasn't the first to come up with spatial / furniture-y music - with Ambient 1 he officially coined "ambient" as a genre name (as a brand, as it were), by all accounts. That album was also probably the first introduction that kind of music for a great many people. It certainly was for me.

As someone without skin in this particular game, I'm curious to hear your view of the OS landscape today. Have you considered (or perhaps even tried) migrating rsync.net out of FreeBSD given these issues?
I don't understand what's wrong with the Nix language. Sure, the space-delimited lists can get a little annoying, but other than that it's minimalistic enough to use a configuration language but complex enough to do more complicated things like overriding derivations. Maybe it's because I learnt Haskell before Nix so the syntax is very familiar to me, whereas I see how it could be a learning curve for other users.

What I find the most annoying is the lack of documentation of some of the nixpkgs functions. Some of the functions provided by import <nixpkgs> {}.lib appear to be the same as the ones builtin to the Nix language and there doesn't seem to be any clear guidance on when to use which version. I've also had to look at the source code to find out the difference between writeTextFile, writeText, writeTextDir, writeScript, and writeScriptBin. [The docs][1] explain writeTextFile, but the only documentation for the rest is ‘Many more commands wrap writeTextFile including writeText, writeTextDir, writeScript, and writeScriptBin. These are convenience functions over writeTextFile.’.

Additionally, it's a bit frustrating for me how all the documentation for nixpkgs — the lib functions, how to make a derivation, specific details for building packages in certain languages, how to contribute to nixpkgs, overriding packages/overlays etc — are in [one gigantic web page][2] that's quite slow to load and even slower to search for things in.

Wonderful wonderful game.
The mechanism is staking. People stake Eth 1.0 to get 2.0 later, along with a bridge to convert Eth 1.0 to 2.0. They can't unstake for a period of time but get decent automatic returns.

There won't really be much reason for people to use 1.0 to execute smart contracts*. There really isn't much for miners to do besides eventually cashing out and becoming a validator. Eventually when "the merge happens" Eth 1.0 will be automatically converted to 2.0. This won't be for a few years (but PoS will launch this year)

*The 1.0 network supposedly uses 1000x times the energy of the 2.0 one to execute a smart contract and would obviously be more expensive to work with, so people will probably avoid using 1.0 as soon as possible. Less use means lower gas fees means lower payouts for miners, who already had payouts reduced by EIP 1559, and will likely have payouts reduced once more. So miners will see a slow death.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

> Add enough bits to your representation to account for that error.

I've reviewed a few papers where authors respond with this sort of argument. It never ends in a publication. But, I really should have picked on the preceding sentence:

> Now increase k until all of the pairs are distinguished (have non-zero differences).

Do you have an estimate on the bounds, time or space, required for that? Because establishing those bounds is the "hard problem" here.

Also, what do you do about questions like sqrt(2)+sqrt(50) =? sqrt(72) where the sums have differing numbers of terms?

And, it might be worthwhile to play with an example: (55, 77, 83) and (64, 68, 82) -- depending on where you decide to truncate, the difference wobbles above, below and equal to zero, well past the point you've described where the pairwise differences are nonzero (4 bits and the sums appear to be equal). It finally stabilizes after 25 bits -- much greater than log N + 1.
This still wouldn’t catch any magical sailor-moon style transformations.

Sure but that's not what I said. A higher percentage of all ICU beds are occupied today than at any point on the graph. If you need an ICU bed and one isn't available, you probably don't really care if that's because too many covid patients or reduced ICU capacity or a shortage of nurses.

In any event, would you agree that hospitals cancelling elective surgeries is indicative of an overworked system?

As an example, in the video "Packaging a Gem as a Nix derivation", he basically just and copies and pastes another default.nix, changes some strings and mentions he doesn't understand what 'passthrough.updateScript' does, but just changes a string there too.

This doesn't really help me understand Nix.

Yeah, I wish more Linux versions made that easier to do - I find it much easier to remember eth0 and eth1 vs the low level name, though the stability is nice.
Furthermore I would add that the silicon die of an FPGA has a particular look which is very homogeneous compared to the die of a CPU or microcontroller, so if the vendor is including a small malicious CPU as a physical part of the FPGA, you should be able to detect that just by carefully scrutinizing the die with a microscope.

In the end, though... I switched back to VS Code. Native apps like this are much faster than such things, but I had too many use cases for the plugins.

Kind of the same experience as Sublime Text. It's _really fast_, but I just rely too much on plugins when the experience requires something more than vim.
