I think the author is right that those terms are flexible (maybe arbitrary is too strong). They depend on value judgements or the ability to know someone else's mental state. "Bad faith" is a great example. It's easy to label someone "bad faith" just because you disagree with them and I find that's common.

Whether this flexibility is a problem or a virtue is another question. When the author calls for us to eliminate these flexible laws/norms, he's trying to formalize something quite vague. Even if that's possible I'm not sure it's desirable. Perhaps when it comes to millions of people living together in harmony, vagueness is a good thing.

If the article was based on a 2GHz processor, then I think I might have been making some bad guesses too. ;) Doesn’t the prefetch solution providing almost 2x mean that on average cache misses in the baseline naive method are costing almost half the cycles? I forgot to say above, but my data point was using a 1GB array, so well above where the author’s cliff dropping off due to being out of cache. I assume the whole reason he’s getting higher perf with arrays < 16MB is because he initialized the array right before computing the prefix sum.
Well, it's certainly true that the post is about hypocrisy:

> Most laws are defined in relatively objective ways, so that society can truthfully say “no one is above the law”. Those who violate the law can be found guilty and punished, while others remain free....But most societies have also included a few less objective and more “flexible” offenses, flexible enough to let the powerful more arbitrarily punishment disliked parties.

If we all agree on the facts of how the word "manipulation" is used in practice, then
mind-blight's first paragraph is at most asking that Hanson would be clearer that he is a linguistic descriptivist rather than a linguistic prescriptivist. That would be fair enough, but then mind-blight's second paragraph wouldn't make sense: Hanson's objection isn't that "manipulation" is hard to prove, it's that it's used exclusively in an outcome-dependent (i.e. hypocritical) way.
I'm just amazed the lengths people go to complicate debugging (two runtimes), building (two things) and deploying (not single executable). Okay, maybe it's worth it for something (e.g. real "C" code used in Python, but just for the sake of testing... hmmm... no)

> there's a shortage of sand from the less-delicate sources

I thought the only sand shortage to speak of was the specific type required for making concrete, because wind-blown sand is too rounded off for producing strong concrete. So those endless dunes of wind-blown sand everyone envisions aren't applicable.

But when you intend to melt the sand I presume there's an abundant supply.
Which method did you use?
All comparators are arbitrary, even among same-typed objects.

You can define a poset on the natural numbers ordered by divisibility that’s well defined and different from the usual < relation.

Pulling an example from maths,
comparisons between integers and rationals are well defined despite them not being the same type. The obvious ordering uses the n <-> n/1 mapping but it doesn’t have to.

The potential in xdotool is there, however what I loved about AutoHotKey was the ability to inspect windows and actions to use for scripting purposes. Not sure if there is such a feature I am missing in xdotool or similar.
No, you're confused. Google isn't like other investors because they control the supply of stock. They don't need to buy stock since they can create it. Google owning its own shares doesn't do anything just like writing an IOU to yourself doesn't do anything.

This is a way of returning money to shareholders, like paying a dividend. It's taxed differently because it increases the price of the stock, so it's capital gains.

Another excellent incident analysis from Mentour Pilot.

This episode covers the cumulative effect of equipment, personal, institutional, procedural, crew resource management, situational awareness, training, certification, and operational errors, and their consequences. It also highlights the "slush term" pilot error, and why the response to any incident in which this (or an equivalent attribution in other domains) is made your own response should be "but why"?
I upgraded to 10Gbps and for the most part the difference is practically imperceptible.

For extremely large files it makes a large difference but otherwise I haven’t seen any difference at all.

The network card is more expensive, it generates more heat and uses more electricity. I pretty much regret spending the money to upgrade.

They are feeling uncomfortable needlessly. It's not incumbent on us to indulge in peoples fear or neuroses. Anyone who wants to keep being theatrical about covid is welcome, but it makes no sense to force the rest of us to participate in their play
I... I'm not so sure. I really like the universe of Frank Herbert's dune, but a lot of the set design on Dune is just... boring. The ornithopters are built like a Cybertruck, which doesn't make sense in an era where computers were destroyed long ago. The monolithic buildings and spaceships look more like a Quake 2 map than they do professional VFX. Having gone into the film with an open mind, I was severely let down by the visual side of things. Even the cinematography felt... fine. Surprisingly, I thought Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa were the strongest parts of the film.
It kind of gives the lawmakers a head start. If you release some evil product today, then you're going to use all of your money to fight any regulation or legal disputes. But if the idea exists and there's only the threat of it being used, then none of those fights happen, but people will still ask their lawmakers to ban it. And they have decades to get it done.

I've been in Weinsteins Discord community in the past around the time where he told his brothers story on his podcast. My impression was that he doesn't (didn't) progress his narrative either. He has been unwilling to make any falsifiable claims about his physics theories, when asked about details to verify stories about his past exploits he provided non answers while still telling everyone to continue "slipping the disc" (short for resisting the distributed idea suppression complex). The IDW (loose group of conservative and centrist podcasters and YouTube personalities "who challenge institutional narratives") is a concept he named. The IDWs members tended to promote anti US Democrat party ideas and did spread conspiracy stories which ultimately harmed liberal causes. Not sure what to think of him now. His brother has been up to some one-sided and misleading CoViD vaccine and CoViD intervention criticism on his own podcast though.
I found this pretty clever:

Input: Write a program that calculates a subjective meaning of life.

import java.util.Scanner; /* * Calculates a subjective meaning of life. / public class SubjectiveMeaningOfLife { /* Main method. */ public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("What is the subjective meaning of life?"); int meaning = input.nextInt(); System.out.println("That is " + meaning + "."); } }

Soon: there are 15 different formats for passing netlists around ( oblig https://xkcd.com/927/ )

I have very little hope from any netlist format that comes from Yosys.
Not only has it changed a couple times in the last years, but the latest iteration is some JSON-based monstrosity that has to be by far the most inconvenient netlist format ever created (see https://github.com/nturley/netlistsvg/blob/master/test/digit... ) .
Are you suggesting that every nation on Earth follows the same business cycle? That is not even remotely correct. East Asia followed a counter-Western-cyclical cycle for most of the last 60 years. Even if you narrow the conversation to just the West, it is extremely rare to have all 7 of the G7 in recession at the same time (other than 2009, I don't think it ever happened).

The data is here: http://fuse.rupy.se/about.html

Under Performance. Per watt the fuse/rupy platform completely crushes all competition for real-time action MMOs because of 2 reasons:

- Event driven protocol design, averages at about 4 messages/player/second (means you cannot do spraying or headshots f.ex. which is another feature in my game design opinion).

- Java's memory model with atomic concurrency parallelism over shared memory which needs a VM and GC to work (C++ copied that memory model in C++11, but it failed completely because they lack both VM and GC, but that model is still to this day the one C++ uses), you can read more about this here: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki

These keep the internal latency of the server below maybe 100 microseconds at saturation, which no C++ server can handle even remotely, unless they copy Java's memory model and add a VM + GC so that all cores can work on the same memory at the same time without locking!

You can argue those points are bad arguments, but if you look at performance per watt with some consideration for developer friendlyness, I'm pretty sure in 100 years we will still be coding minimalist JavaSE (or some copy without Oracle) on the server and vanilla C (compiled with C++ compiler gcc/cl.exe) on the client to avoid cache misses.

Energy is everything!
I pair this with imapnotify (keeps a constant connection to each of the IMAP servers for the email addresses I have) that calls mbsync the moment I get a new email. It was a bit annoying to set up at the time but now my (neo)mutt client updates pretty much instantly with any new email.
The problem with Discord is it fails to provide any way at all to move from chat to forum, or perhaps a better phrase would be "plazas and warrens" https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/10/27/warrens-plazas-and-the... . Discord nails the 'fast' part but there's no way for good stuff to 'percolate up' into slower long-term mediums (https://www.gwern.net/Backstop#internet-community-design). Usenet had FAQs, IRCs had associated mailing lists & bugtrackers, Reddits have wikis, and so on. Discord has just an ever-increasing backlog. (The search functionality isn't too bad, but nevertheless, I regularly found myself searching for stuff I knew I or someone else had said or linked, and failing to find it simply because there were so many hits to scroll through snippets thereof.)

It’s not a very compelling defense of a benchmark to argue that it measures something different for some languages than others—in this case for Go the benchmark measures poorly/carelessly written code while for other languages it measures meticulously optimized code.

I maintain a contrived benchmark is not a useful benchmark.
Your argument presupposed that those who want harsher punishments do so because punishment is tied to crime per capita.

If the two are unrelated, then it may be that people want harsher punishments anyway just as you don't want harsher punishments anyway.

Yes, young men who join the military for no other reason but to try and support themselves (there are no jobs) are sent to kill Ukrainians in Donbass and Luhansk along with convicts who are offered a shorter jail term. Some oof these young men don't come back and their parents are wondering what happened to them? They are usually lied to and told there was an accident but many learn to find out their kids were killed after being forced to fight in Ukraine.
I'll never forget this Delphi anecdote. It can be applied to other tools, no doubt, but we were using Delphi at the time.

Simply, we had a junior guy doing some work, and he wrote a Client/Server GUI using Delphi talking to SQL Server (I think, not germane).

Anyway, it was all done, shipped off the client, everyone essentially happy.

I asked him how the project went.

Paraphrasing he said, "The project went really well, I didn't have many problems. But I do have one question."

"What is it?"

"Can you explain the difference between Disk and RAM?"

"..."

A testament to Delphi is that someone can be productive in computer programming without understanding something fundamental like RAM and Disk.

This is also how the USA keeps down communities of color. A white suburban kid with drugs is "boys will be boys." A black urban kid with drugs is "throw the book at this thug." A white terrorist must be "understood" and sympathized. A minority terrorist is a monster that must be exterminated. A white applicant is a "good culture fit." A black applicant is "urban" and "challenging for our corporate culture." A white missing girl is an urgent emergency. A black missing girl is a "streetsmart" young-lady probably off with friends.

etc,etc.

All corrupt states do this and the USA's corruption is easily at Soviet levels.

If it's a metaphor then it might not be wrong.
Hobbies and sports are a great way to disconnect from the stress of everyday life. If you are able to pursue them as an enjoyable pass time then your life is going to be so much better. They bring both social and mental benefits. Pick one you find interesting and start. You'll suck at the beginning but you'll get better. that's part of the joy. Like they say it's not always the goal but the journey.

I've known plenty of people that aren't trilled with their everyday work/life but find it rejuvenating to spend a weekend doing what they love. It becomes a reset mechanism for a happy life. I highly recommend it.
Agreed. I always shudder when colleagues recommend it. Last I checked it took up an enormous amount of resources for an editor.

It depends. Most of my friends got married from age 25-35 and their closeness usually aligned with the age of the kids.

Personally, I think my wife and I have a better social life than we did, but usually the people we relate to are either old close friends or folks with kids in a similar cohort. We’re active in school and little league and get to spend time with people. I think people who don’t make an effort to be involved in something end up falling out and not having a social life.

My four male cousins are all high flying finance bros and attorneys. They are in their 50s, never married, and from my perspective live like frat brothers. They’ve certainly dated more models and have been able to travel to really amazing places. Not my thing.

Yeah cabling is what will usually make 2.5G/5G make a lot more sense if you don't absolutely need the full bandwidth, those speeds give you options for >1G without needing to rip your cabling plant out.

Not quite >10 Gbps on 802.11ax though - standards compliant gear has a max theoretical cap of 9.61 Gbps half duplex using 8 spatial streams and 2.4 Gbps half duplex if one end is any current client chip which is limited to 2 spatial streams. Realistic numbers a little lower, I can get ~2 Gbps goodput on an AX210 in the same room as the router on an empty 160 MHz channel. Still far more than any home consumer will need but it's a bit of a ways off of obsoleting wired 10 Gbps full duplex throughput, especially with the cost of 2 8x8 APs.
The point is not to give every possible term, but to indicate the basics. It's convention as an aid, not meant to be exhaustive. If anything it's more likely to get shortened with time.
