That's actually all you need to say. Anything else is pro-corporate bullshit that you've been spoonfed until you regurgitate it.

The rebuttal to the rest of your comment is "just try and buy a TV that isn't actively hostile to the user". But that's a side conversation, the fundamental reality is that companies are legal fiction that don't have rights. They are allowed certain privileges we grant them, and we should not grant them the ability to screw over people that don't understand what the term firmware means.
Could you describe said "trickery"?

Eminent Domain is one thing, but people paying eachother for land is as old as time, as is being butthurt about the price.
That isn't what Amdahl's law says. Amdahl's law is an equation describing the theoretical paralellizability of a given task. It doesn't have anything to do with systems bottlenecking on one resource vs another.
LSD is unique in that the normal dosage is about the size of a quarter of a postage stamp, or a single drop of liquid. There aren't many contaminates on that scale that can cause harm.

But more generally speaking, a person has to gauge the safety of a drug they buy on their knowledge of the source. Ideally, it's via someone who has purchased from that source before and can vouch for the drugs.
Folks at my work place would love the fact that it uses boost!
Why? That's entirely their right to do.

I think you are still missing the overall point.

What you call "re-identifying" is basically correlating known identities across different systems. But what about alts?

You can quickly go to keybase and find out my "public" reddit account, and someone with direct access to reddit databases could even use the extra information to find some of my alts. But I can bet real money that no one could precisely look at any random reddit account and say "this account is/is not an alt from rglullis".

In a world where creating identities is infinitely cheap to create, you can not rely on identity as a mechanism for censorship or blacklisting.

Prove it. :)

Am I? Heh :) Your independence is you can choose what to say.

> That specific example is impossible. The CM-5 was 1990 technology.

How do you know what's impossible? Are you an insider to NSA's SAPs?

> We have that. We have lots of primary sources from that era which have been declassified.

What we have is the declass story. The classified story could be different.

> Why?

Because of the nature of SCI SAPs.

> Then you know nothing about Cray Research, and are seemingly coming up with ways to patch your conspiracy theory - because what you are suggesting is a conspiracy theory.

You’re insisting SAPs are “conspiracies”. Hahaha :)

> For your conspiracy theory to work, just where is this special compartmentalized project supposed to be located?

The location of a SAP would be classified, obviously.

> the population of the town in 1970 was 12,351. You don't hide a second project in a town like that.

Pine Gap is a small town, many SAPs are hidden there. Los Alamos is a small town, many SAPs are there, including the Manhattan Project's Fat Man.

> And Cray put it there so he wouldn't have to deal with business meetings….better than Cray[1] working at the other site.

As the public face Cray is not going to be deep in any SAP, as it's a security mistake to allocate the senior leader to a technical role in an SAP, and a resource misallocation because the leader will have many other commitments.

> It makes no sense unless you think there's thousands of people engaged not just in a conspiracy of silence, but also who managed to prevent any hint of tech transfer between the projects.

You just described exactly how TS/SCI SAPs work

> Then as a suggestion, don't bring up cockamamie [2] conspiracies about topics you know little about ("I'm not a supercomputer expert") in the hopes of getting that discussion.

That’s the best way to get an answer. Just say, “I don’t know, I’m interested”, and people who show up.

> There's a lot of literature about the history of supercomputing, the NSA, and related project. Read that literature to learn what sorts of multiple corroboration exist. Then you can seriously evaluate if alternative stories are a better fit to the evidence.

I don’t need to read that. I can just enjoy it, thinking about it, looking at it.

> Your conspiracy theory requires coming up with someone more clever than Cray as the tech lead, who never talk about it, and nothing ever became known about it.

Not really, as the location is fine, and SAPs will be staffed with many experts more clever than Cray in their niche. The public face will not be deep into an SAP and probably wouldn't even be cleared for it.

Do you think is Elon cleared for and deep into every SAP SpaceX has going?

Link in the OP states screen space global illumination was used, which is probably why the part where the character descends below the surface seems really fake. Still very behind Unreal Engine unfortunately, which already supports ray traced "real" global illumination.

Facebook has done this periodically over the years as well. So I'm not surprised they ported that feature over or independently evolved to it on Instagram. I had caught on to the concept of breaking the social graph by using a virgin email and never putting in a phone number not even for 2-factor even once. But then there is a great risk that they flag you for "spam" within days or minutes!

Honestly, Apple needs to get in front of this on iOS just like they've done partially with Location data, Photos/Videos, and data brokering. They need to let you select shareable contacts. Kind of like the Circles that Google Wave had. Instead of letting apps force you into an all or nothing approach.
I've used pretty much the same model to easily manage hundreds of servers. PXE boot, install an image, run ansible scripts to configure the specifics.
Not OP, but personally I'd love to see this sort of tech baked directly into smartphones and cameras. Your camera could have tamper-proof hardware that embeds signatures like you describe into the metadata of your video/photos while you take them. Sure, the user can separate it, but like you said over time people just won't trust photos/videos without this assurance.

Apps like snapchat that let you apply filters could also add additional metadata, going through more hardware verified operations provided by things like Apple's secure enclaves, saying something like "X filter applied over frames N-M" and you can have an edit chain to go with the original video/photo.

With this infrastructure in place our phones could really serve as ways to certify reality itself.
This is where I've found the most value. It's so much more effective to communicate about implementation after the developer has taken a first stab at the problem.
> Sure. But all we're establishing here is that everybody is hostile to ideological pluralism.

But I don’t see why liberals (broadly defined) need to be so ideological or hostile. I can understand why evangelical Christians are the way they are. But liberals, especially highly educated ones, should be able to look at the facts and see what is and what isn’t.

> So where does that leave us? Is your point that it's disappointing to you that the left is now as responsible for ideological hostility as the right? Because the left has always been just as hostile as the right.

I’m disappointed that liberal elites (and I don’t mean that pejoratively—I include myself in that class) aren’t being the grownups and taking care of stability and our institutions. I’m not surprised that zealous young college students are embracing radical ideas. I’m surprised that university administrators and deans are egging them on.

I don’t think it was always like this. There was an interregnum between when conservatives controlled the institutions and the present when things were more… liberal. Even among the liberal elite there were libertarian and populist impulses, which seem to have been driven away, leaving a strident Puritanism.
WWJD also entails vandalizing unethical businesses rather than operating them, so let's not get too self-righteous here.
>it's just Google's lame attempt at creating a loophole.

That seems like sloppy terminology to me. I don't know why people want to call it a loophole.

If you steal a cookie from the cookie jar, with the (accurate) expectation that you probably won't be caught, there is no loophole. At least to me, the word implies a hole in the rules, not an issue with enforcement.
Can confirm. I'm part of the 89.9% that are shit.

> Russian Ukranians are the biggest minority in the same way as French Canadians are the biggest minority in Canada, so everyone already knows that.

This is meant for someone who is unaware of social dynamics in Ukraine. I'm not buying the rationale that it makes sense to skip talking about Russian Ukrainians because everyone already knows about them. Even if they were well known, detailing their population numbers and distribution would still be helpful.
You can, they are just a lot more expensive. The hostile features are a revenue stream and subsidize the cost of the product. Apparently a lot of users are okay with that.
I'm very curious to hear from the folks who have used Nu as a daily driver. Besides the initial relearning costs and the rough edges to be expected from work-in-progress software, have you run into downsides compared to shells like Bash or Fish?

It is a shame that the new DHS 72 hour reporting requirement was not in effect when this breach occurred, but it is extremely evident why it is required. Regarding business classification, I don't think it's too difficult to argue that commercial identity providers are critical infra.

I don't think this argument applies to the switch personally. You aren't "preserving" a game that came out this year and is available in multiple formats, you're just stealing it.

In general I agree though. The shutting down of the old eShop is very sad. There are probably hundreds of digital-only titles that are going to vanish. I like the response of the video game history foundation. Basically, we understand they can't keep the shot up forever, but what are fans supposed to do if they want to play these games and there's no legal way to do so?

I guess we'll keep our 3ds's and hope we're alive when they enter the public domain.

His rage seems to bubble for the silliest things, though. He won't even call kaffir lime leaves by their name because someone somewhere might take offense — which is ridiculous given the fact that the most likely etymology of the term isn't what some ignorant individuals assume.

It's like never describing anyone as "niggardly" because stupid people exist.

Now, his recipes are generally great, and I appreciate his generosity in giving away some recipes from the restaurant he co-founded.
Lexington high was the place that Seymour Papert's group at MIT did their field work with Logo. I vaguely remember that this might have been due to Cynthia Solomon who was then, of all things, Marvin Minsky's secretary, as they were called back then.

IASTR that Brian Harvey (also of Logo fame and now a longterm professor at UC Berkeley) was involved, though it was before my time and I may have my wires crossed. But he would have been an amazing teacher for a bunch of high school students!
Ragusea’s video about how searing in extra virgin olive oil is perfectly fine (and in fact healthier than more neutral oils due to the monounsatured fats) was eye-opening. My dad always liked to sear in olive oil and said he didn’t believe the claims that it would impart a burnt taste to the food (but it indeed gives the crust a non-neutral flavor if that’s what you’re going for).

Personally, I never thought soaking dried beans overnight made sense. I eventually found a blog post where a chef did a blind taste test of soaking overnight vs directly boiling dried beans and found that they taste better without the soaking (but take longer to cook). Ever since then I have made what I think results in the tastiest hummus by skipping the soaking, skipping the baking soda (which imparts a weird aftertaste), and just straight boiling dried Umbrian chickpeas, followed by passing the final product through a #60 lab-grade sieve. Saves time, is much smoother, and tastes better than any recipe I’ve found online.

The only item that I am surprised about on the list is the chefs’ collective opinion on reverse searing. Personally I’ve found it works better than almost anything else if you’re not looking for a technique that imparts additional flavor (e.g., grilling over binchotan is my ultimate favorite approach for many types of meat but that is due to the unique smoky flavor rather than grilling per se). Reverse searing tough cuts for 6-7 hours at a very low PID-controlled temperature even seems to work much better than braising for flavor. I would like to see some blind taste tests for claims about methods that work better than the reverse sear.
Literally my greatest nightmare scenario. Nothing scares me more. Similarly, the jaunt is sort of the extreme version of this, and I try not to think about it x_x

Sometimes I have sleep paralysis (very rarely) and it's the worst, scariest feeling.
> while the views that usually result in people being fired are fringe and, in a word, vile

That is not true, a large majority don't agree with many radical lefts views, but would still get fired if they voiced those opinions publicly.

For example, should trans people compete in sports of their chosen gender? Almost two thirds thinks that they shouldn't, but saying that will get you labelled anti-trans and fired from many jobs, even though you might support trans-rights completely in every other regard.

> It would be deeply unpopular and ineffective, but I don't see why it should be illegal.

It would be extremely effective as most business owners are right wing. They just don't do it because they don't care what their workers thinks, they care more about profits. But if they banded together and made this policy at every right wing owned business you would see huge consequences, as the workers can't really choose to go somewhere else.
+1 for the Carbon, if you're looking for a "it just works" Linux experience you'll be hard pressed to find a better all-around machine. Even though we're not quite back to the glory days of IBM decks, the keyboard on newer Thinkpads is still outrageously good. It feels clichéd recommending Thinkpads in $CURRENT_YEAR, but if you can find a decent AMD or a recent Intel model, they're fantastic x86 machines.
> in my own personal experience of being the butt of many jokes, I find it’s easiest to just disarm them by laughing and then trying to take the person out for a beer. Then we can laugh at my expense together

It sounds like the jokes people are making at your expense are because of a single action that they are mocking, possibly as a callback to a trait you have. Do you see how it would be different was a joke about something intrinsic and permanent that you've been hearing your whole life? And that instead of being good natured, it was being told by someone who would never share a beer with you?

What I got from the most unbiased sources I could find is that the Honduran government is undergoing a program called ZEDE that is making charter cities, almost like Shenzhen, that are independent of the rest of the state administratively and financially. This is at the behest of a panel of Reaganites, Chicago boys all over again. Their side insists they aren't expropriating land from residents, but that isn't extremely clear cut in a country like Honduras.

I have mixed feelings on this, these projects are surely to disrupt ways of life there and defy the notion of democracy, but they are also probably necessary given the accumulated grift and narcoviolence Honduras faces; the only way out is accelerating to cyberpunk corporate cities. I got to visit Honduras and Roatan on a family trip in 2004 - it's a lovely country that has obviously struggled mightily since then, judging by its near worst murder-per-capita rate and emigration. If only the state structures that made this a necessity weren't so sticky.
You've just described those roller skates that they make for little kids that stap on to the shoe. I don't know if you've ever tried them, but they're mostly useful for making your kid think that roller skating is a horrenously impossible feat.

Have you used rollerblades or snowshoes? Showshoes have a very flexible binding system, and rollerblades need to be quite stiff in order to have a hope of functioning properly, and not snaping your ankle in several pieces. In order to make such a thing, you'd have to wear some sort of plastic boot, and then have some solid binding like a pin tech binding to attach the boot to the rollers.
What jobs would that get you fired from? Name one.

(this is precisely the issue with "cancel culture" discourse that Popehat identifies: there's two phenomena, one of people being removed from their jobs or facing actual life consequences. This is thankfully usually rare, and usually applies only to relatively powerful people who say relatively awful things[0]. There's also a second phenomena of people receiving any sort of criticism for a controversial statement, and panic-mongers conflate the two, to suggest that any criticism is an attempt to silence you or ruin your life. That's simply not the case. Yeah, you'll get criticized online for saying trans-women shouldn't compete in women's sports. You'll probably also be criticized for the opposite view. You're not going to get fired for either, unless you're explicitly making an issue out of it in your workplace, and then the issue isn't the particular view, it's being disruptive).

[0]: And to preempt this, yes I know it sometimes results in normal people losing their jobs. This is unusual, even among the relatively rare aspect of people losing their livelyhood.
Realism in regards to rendering software has nothing to do with realism in the final product.

Pixar and Disney have been among the most influential and revolutionary companies in terms of rendering techniques. And most of their products are stylized.

Stylized looks come from the assets, not from the rendering engine. The rendering engine gives you physically correct light interactions (which you almost always want, and even then you can turn knobs to make it non physically correct or outright do whatever you want using shaders), things like fur/hair rendering, fluid simulations, volumetrics etc. All these things can be tweaked to non realistic values by the artist.

If you want a movie/game where characters are made of wax, or fire, or smoke, or something even crazier with shaders, you want as a basis a renderer that is physically based and uses mathematical models based on the real world, and then tweak from there.

Yes! I learned a number of languages from O'Reilly books and it is a qualitatively different experience than learning through a bunch of disconnected StackOverflow questions.

Fair enough! The conversation evoked screenshots of Palantir software from a decade or so ago. I imagine it's next level now.
This post has the thesis that threads are expensive in some way. Modern OS's schedulers don't do work that's O(blocked threads) to schedule. They require a small amount of memory to maintain some data structures to track it in the kernel, and some memory for a stack in userspace.

Threads as a mechanism for separating out the concerns that can run independent of each other is perfectly fine. While eventloops and thread pools are good, allowing for things like, say, a stats aggregator to not need to share a work queue with an application's work just makes for an easier-to-reason-about system.
Surprised they’re still being this transparent at this stage. I expected the lawyers to have shut it down by now.
