> Drugs do not lead to enlightenment. They do not lead to some hidden knowledge.

This reminds me of something near the end of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas":

> We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the 60s. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy peace and understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle that he helped to create. A generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the acid culture: The desperate assumption that somebody - or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.

My own experience is relatively tame. I'd say the worst part was the difference between my expectations and reality. The "hidden knowledge" you talk about and the "fallacy of the acid culture" are a good illustration of that. But I wouldn't call this life-altering or destroying. It's like going to a country that you really want to go to, only to find out it's not what you expected. I've seen many people that would rationalize this by saying "the drugs showed you what you needed, that you need to manage your expectations", but you can rationalize/anaylze any situation in your life like that. I went to Chernobyl and had a great time, so I should try to go out of my comfort zone more often. I didn't do my best in school and regret it, so I should try to work have to have less/no regrets. Everything has meaning once you search for it.

>Communities can enter death spirals where only extreme speech exists because everyone reasonable is so turned off by the extreme speech that they leave.

This never happens in a country, people will not abandon their land and their social networks because $MEAN_PERSON said something bad about trans people. What you describe only happens in online communities or hobby clubs, and not all of them at that.

In practice, fears from "unpolite" speech is almost always hysterical reactions by those unprepared and/or ill-equipped to counter speech with speech.

No, he’s very clearly making the argument that vigorously avoiding defining it at all while trying to argue about it prevents any coherency or utility, not that precisely defining it leads to clarity.
It used to be that the phone company would annually throw a book on your porch with everyone in your town's name, phone and address. I can see how someone with that as a mental model for contact lists wouldn't see a problem.

That is not true in my experience. Also, for those who don't support it (which by default look blurry) you can enable it in compatibility options and it will generally work well.

From a British perspective it's quite often public transport, bikes are banned on the tube afaik and taking them on trains can be hit or miss, some routes require a specific (and hard to get) cycle booking, most local buses are a non starter and even intercity buses are a big problem (they will often require your bike be dissembled / be in a hard case bike bag thing).

There are none of those nice bike racks on the front of American buses here. The whole system is fairly hostile towards active travel.
Yes the title is provocative, and can only be so long. The introduction chapter articulates more precisely what I'm arguing. Chapter summaries are available here: https://www.sup.org/books/extra/?id=34899&i=Contents.htm - I've pasted a section below that might help sharpen the claim.

Automation is a myth, a long-running fable about the future of work that needs to be reconsidered. Whether embraced as dream or cautioned as nightmare, automation is ultimately a fiction, a fantasy. "Myth" does not imply that automated technologies do not exist or that there have not been technically driven transformations in the nature of work over the past century. But these transformations have been piecemeal rather than total. They have taken place differently within different cultures and locations. And they have impacted particular races and genders rather than a generic humanity.

I think the author makes a distinction in the very point you critique between the problem and the solution. If you don't understand the problem, it doesn't matter how dirty your hands get, you'll have trouble solving it. Once you understand roughly what you're trying to solve, you should figure out how to solve it by messing around and seeing what works (as is stated in the article).

> The real battle today is not over who can say what. It's what people should be listening to.

This is why the characterization of all speech criticism as cancel culture is so problematic. We have a segment of the population now that believes that free speech means not only that they can say things while being shielded by laws from government retaliation and by cultural norms from unreasonable forms of cultural retaliation; they now also believe that free speech requires them to be given exclusive, privileged priority on platforms and for them to be given extra control over what people hear. For them, it is cancel culture that their voice isn't louder than everyone else's.

Notably, they don't view it as censorship that other segments of the population don't have the same platform privileges in the first place. To them, the normal position of free speech is that their voice should always be specially audible, and they are less concerned about making it easier across the board for people to filter through the noise or about democratizing curation, and more concerned with making sure that their microphone is never threatened by other people's speech or association.

----

It is very important for us to talk about how people get information and about how to further decrease gatekeeping around curation and subscription of information; I think that's one of the next fronts in increasing free speech in America.

But it's also important for us to recognize that most people don't have exclusive contracts with major media networks and tons of advertising and promotion, and that demanding that people retain access to privileged speech platforms while their critics are characterized as censors for even just criticizing them or boycotting those platforms -- it's essentially the same as walking into a public gym and getting mad that everyone doesn't stop their own conversation and only listen to what one person has to say.

I think Popehat really hits the nail on the head when he talks about privileging the first speaker; some (not all, but some) of the backlash I see around online communication and criticism is coming from people who were used to being major voices that couldn't be ignored, and are mad that the increased noise means they no longer have that same level of exclusivity or respect, and are mad that opposing voices are increasingly given the same level of volume and attention and that those voices have more ability to respond to their speech. They're mad that their critics are on more equal footing with them in public debates and have similar levels of reach and volume.

This is why it's also so deeply important to express that there is a difference between a rando someplace getting fired from their job for a Twitter opinion they gave 10 years ago, and someone getting disinvited from an semi-exclusive speaking role at a conference because they are actively expressing bad or harmful ideas. Those are really not the same thing; one is a cultural retaliation against speech that might cross the line into unnecessary harm and mob justice, and the other is just people getting mad that they don't have a special right to an exclusive megaphone.
Besides integrated GPUs for actual graphics usage that other comments mentioned, Intel did make some attempts at the GPGPU market. They had a design for a GPU aimed primarily at GPGPU workloads, Larrabee, that was never released [1], and adapted some of the ideas into Xeon Phi, a more CPU-like chip that was intended to be a competitor to GPUs, which was released but didn't gain a lot of market share [2].

This is a design flaw in Kubernetes. The article doesn't really explain what's happening though. The real problem is that there is no synchronization between the ingress controller (which manages the ingress software configuration, e.g. nginx from the Endpoints resources), kube-proxy (which manages iptables rules from the Endpoints resource), and kubelet (which sends the signals to the container). A presStop hook w/ a sleep equivalent to an acceptable timeout will handle the 99%+ cases (and the cases it doesn't will have exceeded your timeout anyhow). Things become more complicated when there are sidecar containers (say an envoy or nginx routing to another container in the same pod) and that often requires shenanigans such as shared emptyDir{} volumes that waits (with fsnotify or similar) for socket files to be closed to ensure requests are fully completed.
Typically services will have you confirm your current password before allowing you to change it (for exactly this reason).
In order to fully understand this subject one has to understand where our commons went or disappeared to...Under US constitution about the only free commons is the postal mail.

Let me illustrate:

The short legal answer is not as its private property sidewalk

> I've dealt with those cases across many languages across the years

I'm not trying to denigrate your experience, and I'm not pretending that we work in different industries and deal with very dissimilar problems. But if anything I learned from the years of writing software - there are no silver bullets. Every single tool has cons and pros. You can't just look at any instrument, framework, library, language through a tiny keyhole and make assumptions. And I'm not saying you have. Perhaps you have rich experience using Clojure that led you to the conclusions you made. From my perspective - I have the opposite of that. And again, it's not because I have not seen what you have. Clojure, in my opinion, compensates for the lack of static typing with a plethora of other features. Features that many other languages can't offer but are essential for me.
> Those two things cannot be true simultaneously. You cannot say "running big systems is hard" and "they can run a big system better than you can run a small system".

They can absolutely be true simultaneously. In fact, I can't name a logic system where those two statements comprise a contradiction. They are logically completely unrelated to each other.
Because "solving it" can look radically different depending on the definition or group trying to do the "solving." Platforms enforcing their terms of service to ban, say, holocaust deniers, is not what I consider "cancel culture," but a lot of people on the right would disagree.

Similarly, I think that David Shor was unfairly maligned and fired over hugely disingenuous misreadings of his work, but how do you solve that in any meaningful way? I don't think we should make "twitter user" a protected class, but I fail to see how else you can realistically prevent businesses from responding (read: caving in) to bad PR.

The most common battlefield on which these "cancellation" debates happen is people's access to Twitter, a service that did not exist in the 1990s (you could, obviously, get banned off a BBS for any or no reason). You see it in this very thread: people writing appeals to the amount of control tech companies have over speech, and how unprecedented that is.

While it could be argued whether I was being unkind, in re-reading I certainly wasn't being kind, and there was no small amount of snark. While I stand by the sentiment behind the comment, I don't think it is likely to change the mind of the poster I was replying to. There's a chance that it would avoid having the conversation turn into an extremely capitalist/libertarian echo chamber as commonly happens here, but that's about the extent of it.

Partly, the mindset that was evident in teeray's post was rather frustrating. Implicit in the post was a dismissal of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's goals of providing low-cost teaching hardware, an assumption that re-distribution to those who can pay more is a good thing, blame at Adafruit for not having priced out the primary target market in the first place, and praise for scalpers who are standing between a charity (RPF) and its intended recipients. None of those were explicitly stated, but those are the implications and results of the philosophy in that comment. It's a cruel, unkind, and mean-spirited philosophy, which is why I felt it appropriate to respond with snark.

So even 18” is a compromise - I live pretty rural and a 29” MTB with chunky tires and full suspension is as comfy as it gets, but also a must for rooty singletrack etc
>Fox News and watching the Simpsons on Fox is a more direct analogy. Any problem with the branding there?

How? Nobody gets confused between a cartoon and a news program. They are completely differently offerings, branded completely differently.

Buzzfeed, on the other hand, built up a reputation over years for pumping out lowest-common-denominator trash journalism, then later set up a serious news website under the same brand.

It would be more like if Fox News bought out the BBC and called it "Fox News UK".

"According to France’s privacy watchdog CNIL, Youtube users only had to click once to accept cookies, whereas refusing cookies took multiple clicks.

CNIL’s complaint stated that Google purposefully made the consent mechanisms more complex to push consumers to accept cookies––a clear violation of the GDPR’s requirement that companies provide equally simple ways to opt into or out of data collection."

So these dark patterns are officially violating GDPR.
However there are still tons of websites implementing this.

You're repeating "Automation is a myth" now in a context where there is no space constraint to writing "Full automation is a myth", or "AGI is a myth", either of which is supportable. To me that crosses over from provocative to misleading, as it doesn't fairly represent the far less provocative thesis.
Performance per watt isn’t so useful for a GPU. People training ML algorithms would gladly increase power consumption if they could train larger models or train models faster.
It doesn't have a definition and doesn't need one. It's liberally applied to all forms of "people being offended". It exists in the space between behavior that is legal yet morally unacceptable. Like abject racism. The actual quality of offending is purely subjective and always has been. Someone can be considered "cancelled" when a critical mass of people agree and refuse to support them. This is how every society has existed forever.
I wonder to what extent the subject here, 'cancel culture', is a side effect of the outrage porn nature of social media (and maybe media in general), in which engagement statistics show higher engagement when it comes to inflammatory subjects/posts. Outrage porn's history goes back forever, but in the modern media context it might have been invented by Jerry Springer.

Basically the model seems to involve identifying a subject for the outrage to focus on, whipping up clicks and views by bumping the subject's statements up the social media engagement ladder - this is a lot of ad revenue, ahem - and then, finally, the ceremonial burning of the sacrificial victim for the appeasement of the flash mob. This is particularly true when the target has no political following or wealth status, certainly no means to push back (like a billionaire's PR team calling all their contacts in the media, crisis managers, social media botnets, etc.).

As far as the political-social use of this exercise, it's the kind of thing authoritarian states are known to do and was parodied by Orwell in 1984 as the "Two Minute Hate" routine. Actual debate of sensitive topics is the last thing anyone involved with this circus wants to see.

In contrast, students were once taught to argue the points of the opposition in a debate, as an exercise in thinking as well as understanding. This kind of debate training seems highly unlikely in today's world, and would probably generate lot of outrage and calls for cancellation of the program.
FTA: effortlessly 25 km/h with the folding bike, without much pedaling

25 km/hour is fairly fast for a regular ’upright’ bicycle, and certainly not obtained effortlessly. I don’t see that being better for this bicycle with its small wheels.
I'm pretty skeptical about "effortlessly 25 km/h with the folding bike, without much pedaling". Other small-wheel folding bikes I've tried (of, I'm sure, much inferior quality) were not so efficient. Awesome if true.
