You're going to have to do some work to establish that. It's pretty clear from the historical record and from ancient literature that greed predates capitalism by millennia. You could argue that capitalism makes it worse, but I don't see much evidence of that in history.
Would you want a corporation or government to decide for you which of your neighbors you shouldn't tolerate, without letting you get to know them, or would you like to make an informed decision yourself?
Perhaps there could be a charity making payments for those who legally can't.
One place where asdf wins in convenience is when you actually really care about versions though. It allows you to install both new and old specific versions. In nix, while you can achieve that, you'll be guided to use the currently supported major versions like python 3.8, 3.9. Making sure you build with exactly 3.7.1 as well as a module which was merged to nixpkgs later is a serious pita.
Arguments aren't axioms. Karl Popper is not some inherent authority.
Mark seems awesome and thoughtful and deliberate. But it does seem that he implements some features without the approval of, or from the text, against the wishes of, the product people.

Maybe his product people were unreliable and unsympathetic to the users - he suggests so in the first anecdote. Maybe all product people are, I dunno. But I have been on projects where engineers were allowed (usually de facto rather than by policy) to unilaterally add features they thought were important. The results are not always as positive as they are in this article.
I have a Dell Latitude laptop. It absolutely doesn't have enough video ports for the monitors on my desk. And while it's got enough ports for my USB peripherals (barely), it's certainly a lot more convenient to connect one cable than to connect 5-6, when I bring it back from using it as a laptop.
These kinds of comments are a waste of time, some people are simply only capable of seeing their side as the good guys, and/or everything that happens as mono-causal.

I dont know whether they believe it but I'm fairly sure I've seen people on HN claim that something or other that President Biden did a day or two before the invasion forced Russia to act.
wow, this needs to be top comment. This is a no go for me. since I use only pyenv and nvm, not too big of a problem.
The point is that in most cases you don't need any major social-engineering. The elements of efficiency and obedience to the hierarchy are already there, built-in in most orderly societies. You just need to veer the actual aims a little bit, and you are effectively in a regime not very different from the nazi one.

That's why seemingly democratic societies can turn into regimes almost overnight.
It's not unmeasurable. If you ask a friend, "did you like that movie?" would you be happy if they hadnt seen it; didnt know anything about it; etc. etc. and simply generated a response based on some review data they'd read?

Is that what you want from people? You want them just to report a summary of the textbooks, of the reviews of other people? You dont want them to think for a moment, about anything and have something to say?

This is a radically bleak picture; and omits, of course, everything important.

We arent reporting the reports of others. We are thinking about things. That isnt unmeasurable, it is trivial to measure.

Show someone the film, ask them questions about it, and so on -- establish their taste.

NLPs arent simulations of anything. It's a parlour trick. If you want a perfect simulation of intelligence, go and show me one -- I will ask it what it likes; and I doubt it'll have anything sincere to say.

There is no sincerity possible here. These systems are just libraries run through shredders; they havent been anywhere; they arent anywhere. They have nothing to say. They arent talking about anything.

You and I are not the libraries of the world cut up. We are actually responsive to the environments we are in. If someone falls over, we speak to help them. We dont, as if lobtomized, rehearse something. When we use words we use them to speak about the world we are in; this isnt unmeasuarable -- its the whole point.
The old dream is gone, but now that we saw what corporate takeover and commercialization brings, maybe we can reconsider and attempt to save the pieces that we can.

At the end of the day, we still have a choice. All of a sudden, Mastodon and like projects start looking more attractive.
Castor | Platform Engineer | Amsterdam, NL | Remote or hybrid

Castor’s products have supported over 100.000 medical researchers to capture almost 250 million data points in over 8.000 research projects across the globe - and as we scale, these numbers are rapidly increasing. This continuous growth requires a sustainable yet flexible infrastructure that supports the global roll-out of our platform while meeting the needs of our customers concerning reliability and security. We are now looking to expand our team with an additional infrastructure specialist/DevOps enthusiast to make sure we can continue to meet these requirements over the coming years.

Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board of directors
It's obviously doable, but it's very heavy for languages. Like someone else said, you immediately run into basic issues like readline, LSP compatibility, volume persistence, port forwarding, etc.

Docker is better for version managing services like databases, caches (Postgres, Redis, etc), things that have little need for different configuration or exploration and persist through multiple sessions. Once they're up, they're done.

Asdf is the next best thing for local development, where you need that kind of exploration.
"Is that illegal?"

"The German economy ministry said Gazprom Germania violated foreign trade law."

But you'll always be fighting the engine, because these kinds of "one size fits all" engines are complex enough to be essentially another operating system above the one you'd otherwise be dealing with. As long as your desires are well aligned with the abstractions it presents it will probably save you time, but the more you drift from that the less time it will save you and eventually there's a point where dealing with it costs more time than it saves.

For the level of performance the Factorio devs want it makes sense they'd opt for maximum control over everything rather than fighting someone else's implementations.
The notion that GPT "interpolates between the training data" is a widespread misconception. There is no evidence that that's what's going on. GPT seems to be capable of generalizing, in ways that let it mix features of training samples at least, and even generalize to situations that it has never seen.

It seems to me your entire argument derives from this. If GPT is not exponential, then the m/p distinction falls apart. And GPT has way too much world-knowledge, IMO, to be storing things in such a costly fashion.

Neural networks learn features, not samples. Layered networks learn features of features (of features of features...). Intelligence works because for many practical tasks, the feature recursion depth of reality is limited. For instance, we can count sheep by throwing pebbles in a bucket for every sheep that enters the pasture, because the concept of items generalizes both sheep and pebbles, and the algorithm ensures that sheep and pebbles move as one. So to come up with this idea, you only need to have enough layers to recognize sheep as items, pebbles as items, those two conceptual assignments as similar, and to notice that when two things are described by similar conceptual assignments in the counting domain, you can use a manual process that represents a count in one domain to validate the other domain. Now I don't think this is actually what our brain is literally doing when we work out this algorithm, it probably involves more visual imagination and looking at systems coevolve in our worldmodel to convince us that the algorithm works. But I also don't think that working this out on purely conceptual grounds needs all that many levels of abstraction/Transformer layers of feature meta-recognition. And once you have that, you get it.
> Let me finish by saying that it's true, unless you count your game having stable frame rate on weaker platforms as part of the user experience. ;)

While this is true, it's also not a "given" from a custom engine and needs to be planned for. It's a big ask for a team to reimplement their renderer as a forward renderer, but it's a checkbox in UE4 (plus reimplementing all the materials etc).
> Well, I seriously doubt it's due to incompetence.

I agree with you on that, as well as taking an ML approach.
Querying the hooks and symbols directly can lead to the false positive vs spam tradeoff that TheDong is referring to elsewhere in this comment section (to be fair, so can the ML approach but its more avoidable).
It is possible that the scale of it makes the minor shortcomings not so minor.
Why should we be dependent on France? Nuclear waste is a boogie man to scare hippies at night, almost 96% of fuel rods can be recycled and fuel rods have a life cycle of 5-10 years while not needing that many to run a reactor. We could be researching and investing in modern nuclear tech that solve these problems until fusion is viable. Also with petrol there was a lot of waste but we learned to process it and turn it into a valuable resource, maybe the same could happen for nuclear.

in any massively synchronized system of nodes, timestamps are an important, non-obvious topic. The words "can be manipulated" don't tell that story. Others can jump in with the details but this is a lottery and random-number thread.
The problem with innocent explanations is that they are usually impossible to prove. The problem with valuable artifacts, where there is both an incentive and history of theft, is that there is a tendency to presume guilt. Even if the innocent explanation is proven true in the end, the lives of those involved would probably be a living nightmare until it is resolved.

Academic institutions are full of people who want to live a quiet life or build a reputation for the right reasons. They are full of people who come and go, most of which wouldn't know what they are looking at or whether it belonged there or not. Libraries and archives are among the few places that will properly inventory and catalogue what they have, and even the Cambridge University Libraries performed several searches to verify an error was not made on their end since it does happen.

It may be unlikely, but I think that it is possible that the process for handling these materials failed somewhere and it took twenty years for someone to come across them. Their desire to drop them anonymously may have been for any number of reasons. Regardless of their reasons, I don't think that doing the right thing should be punished. I could also understand why someone would rather burn something than deal with a slow and possibly misdirected justice system.

Like the zen koan, does a piece of information exist of no one is around to read it? Self-hosting is mostly pointless because the problem is the walled gardens trapping global attention. Many people barely see a browser window, and consume all online information inside the walled gardens. Whether you publish outside that garden or not it is effectively the same, because they will never see what you write.

I agree that the documentation story could be better. I also think it's a great shame that the language isn't statically-typed, so to understand how to use something I have to inspect its source code.

I've found it to be quite flexible though. For example, here's a commit in which I apply a patch to a tool to solve a problem that the derivation hadn't taken into account (and absent a home-manager solution): https://github.com/samhh/dotfiles/commit/867dd3b4d4b3942a0aa...

All three of those are centralized authoritative forces. Mediawiki (distinct from Wikipedia), Mastodon, Pleroma, Peertube, Lemmy, Owncast, etc. are better examples of democratizing forces on the internet.
anti-nuclear is pro-fossil. I'm saying that russian psy-ops organize both sides of protesting factions in e.g. Qanon, yellow vests in France, etc. - why wouldn't they covertly finance anti-nuclear if they overtly finance pro-fossil? Greens are pro-environment, but don't offer substitute energy sources (because it isn't possible to offer them, a different discussion) - exactly the kind of turmoil Russia thrives in. but then, maybe the FSB's just lucky here.
Sadly, even on HN we have people arguing for that. You are labeled 'absolutist' if you argue against censorship. It is fascinating really.

Is there any relation to space-filling curves? It feels like it is in a kind of similar domain, just in the opposite direction
I imagine the 2 go hand in hand.

Without the belief that you are right, why would you spend time pursuing something? If you're right, but nobody you talk to understands what you're saying then who is bumbling?

It's a question of perspective.

I have designed a new fusion reactor. I feel like the design has potential, and nobody seems interested in helping to evaluate it. I know there is a communication gap as well. I get different responses from everyone I talk to, and it's clear from their objections that some are dismissing the idea without understanding it. This leads to me dismissing their objections.

I know what the optics are, but still feel like I have to expend time and effort on this. If I don't do it, nobody else will.

In the end, it will work or not regardless of anyone's opinion.

I am not all too familiar with U.S. securities regulations, but one issue raised yesterday was that Musk disclosed his 9.2% stake on Schedule 13G, rather than 13D.

At least we have an Internet. Imagine the bad old days of the 1980s when everyone had to get their news from CNN! For all the bellyaching conservatives do the fact is that information is freer today than it was in the past. Ultimately we all found out about Hunter Biden’s laptop notwithstanding the Facebook and Twitter blackout. (And when it turned out to be real, I’m sure the Facebook and Twitter censors felt shame, at least the ones who are capable of feeling shame.) That wouldn’t have been true 30 years ago.

if it's abusive of the people patience and potentially dangerous, the government can and should shut it down.

it's not illegal to carry arms in most of the US, but in some places they can ban you if you carry one, because they don't want to deal with you or be responsible for what you could do with it.

it's not illegal to drink in many parts of the Globe, but some people could not want you to drink in the children's playground at 9 in the morning and if you don't leave on your own they might call the police.

My great hope in the early 2000s was that all you had to do was provide a route for information and the effect of propaganda would crumble once people had access to the truth. And, the internet did provide the route that did not exist before it just didnt matter.

Truth is that people largely place trust in institutions and people they are used to and identify with, often for irrational reasons. People are prone to FUD. Theyre lazy and passive.

This means that, for example, Rupert Murdoch has a disproportionate level of political influence in the UK because he dominates media through which people watch and read about sports.

And Tiktok is an effective propaganda delivery channel because it already feeds kids videos of dances they like.

Sadly, programming people on a mass scale is just as effective as it ever was because it turned out how trust is acquired mattered way more than mere access to information.
There is a huge difference between the rule of law in proper democracies ("Rechtsstaaten") and arbitrary political decisions in totalitarian states (such as Russia).

German ministers can implement some draconian decisions, but they are operating in a large system of checks and balances, including independent courts and required parliamentary support for passing legislation.

The two scenarios are therefore roughly as similar as the arbitrary power of the owner of a privately held firm and the constrained power of a CEO of a publicly traded company.

I think you're underestimating what can be done with the industry standard engines. From a rendering perspective modern game engines can handle so much stuff that it will fill your screen entirely. Just look at UE5's Nanite which supports ridiculously massive scenes and splits the frame into roughly pixel-sized triangles to render at interactive frame rates.

If you do end up in a situations where you have more objects than is suitable for even these systems to simulate you don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water. Create your own managers running whatever simulation you wish without tying the units directly to the most obvious game engine entities, with whatever scheduling you need to make the updates work with the compute budget you have. Use the engine entities to represent whatever higher level object makes the code manageable and easy to work with.

Then you can surely leverage the game engine for input handling, rendering, and a lot of your logic, just writing your own code for whatever challenges are unique to your game and where the standard approach for that engine is unsuitable.
I don't think Amazon UK ever stopped accepting VISA entirely. They threatened to, and then I think they blinked at the last minute. It was also only specifically VISA Credit, not Debit cards, which continued to work.

In contrast, I have a EUR account in Switzerland and can easily get a USD or GBP one. Most
