Interesting, neoliberals seem to now support the authoritarian state, the various intelligence agencies, NATO going to war with Russia, censorship, etc.

Has been a strange shift.
It's not an apples to apples comparison, mass producing cars is very hard (your man Elon has said this). So scaling out to the level where they outcompete other manufacturers is going to take enough time that I believe their USP is long gone, therefore I think the stock is overpriced.

Their battery tech isn't unique (and not theirs entirely either). Everything except the infotainment system is "simple" (in relative terms).

I'm not saying they're not great, but that the stock is expensive
Nope:

- "Diversity" is, like, a banner issue for the left currently.

- If anything, the left is accused of failing to try to "appeal to social frustration" by focussing on the generally more optimistic middle class.

- The is no "plot" in the sense that someone is pulling the strings, although maybe Global Warming has plot-like character.

- The enemy, for the US left, is both strong and dumb, not strong and weak.

- Pacificm is excellent.

- The weak are to be protected, as are the weekends.

- A just world should be devoid of heroes, because there is no adversity requiring them. Plus: institutions are better than relying on individuals.

- Machoism is so out, it's called toxic masculinity

- nobody ever accused the US left of being into weapons

Of note, there have been left-wing dictatorships. Personally, I've witnessed East Germany and Cuba, and they are/were similar to a degree that is just funny, considering how different the places are in terms of geography and climate. A left-wing dictatorship is, first and foremost, boring. It is a bureaucracy that will drive you insane. Nothing ever works, even though everything could work if, only once, you didn't have to wait five hours in line to buy stamps.

(two months ago, I bought the entire stock of stamps in a decently sized Havanna post office. All six of them. The got new ones after lunch. I'm fairly certain they had removed them from the postcards I had since dropped into the mailbox).

If you happen to oppose the regime, are ambitious, or join the wrong music scene as a teenager (punks, say), you'll have a hard time. If you don't rebel, you'll generally live a peaceful if boring life, even if you happen to be gay, stupid, Quaker, diabetic, nudist, vegetarian, or black (all risk factors in fascism)
That's like saying banning electing of representatives by a show of hands in favour of the secret ballot is just a slippery slope to banning democracy altogether.
“… Humans still tend to band together under insane males, though. That seems to be hard-wired…”
Marine Le Pen is looking to change that.
Eco’s method here is as old as time, going back to Socrates’s dialogue with Meno considering what makes a bee a bee. A way to describe something is to identify its common features with other things identified as such. It’s stood the test of time so I’d love to hear your analysis, especially a contradiction.
It's spelled "(((globalists)))"
Right — however it was always an abstraction. Lose gold at sea? Well just because the bank ignores this event and issues more paper doesn’t mean the ship didn’t sink.
I understand that the concept of reversibility is highly desirable, but that bank can not raise the sunken ship right now. It has to take the loss and not just pretend it didn’t happen. Reversibility is always an illusion. Most things in this universe are actually permanent.
Hmm... I just downgraded my Internet because I did not feel like paying the cable fees/taxes (I do not watch cable or sports) and they came bundled with the higher speed. (You can now guess who my provider might be.)

My guaranteed speed is just 50Mbit/s, and despite being a software engineer and streaming movies, I did not notice a difference. My son has to wait longer for his steam downloads sometimes.

25GBit/s is impressive, though, and if I could get it here without strings attached I'd probably go for it, too.

BTW. My first experience was a dial-up model with 9600 baud, so maybe my expectations are just lower :)
1 - 4 is Romanticism

(I include the 4 here because the article presents disagreement as a property of critical rational thinking. Which is protested by romanticism).
Fascism is both reactionary and revolutionary, and opposes progressivism. It also has its roots in the modernist movement.
I'd be interested to hear which you think can be attributed to Democrats.
Check out what happened to Galileo when he published his findings. Want more? How about Lysenkoism? Or the rejection of "jewish science"?
What a pain in the arse!

Just fyi as I know you aren’t a native speaker, it’s ‘chip in’, if you were native I’d assume a typo, probably is for you too, but it’s a phrase easy to mishear and when I was learning a second language I appreciated these corrections.
Ask HN: How to Call the Opposite of Enlightenment?
How to call the opposite of enlightenment?
Several things, but to name one, none of those examples are actually representing “scientific consensus” (except for the margarine example, and medical science is notoriously tricky and subject to lots of noise and false signals).

Science didn’t even “exist” until the 1600s - well after the timeframes of nearly all of those examples. [0]

Your examples demonstrate “social consensus”, “religious consensus”, “proto-medical consensus”, but not “scientific consensus.”

[0]: a note that to say “science started at time X” is subjective, of course, but the modern formal framework of science is relatively new and putting it around the time of Isaac Newton’s Principia is probably a good rough guess.

I would not consider Galileo to be a representative of modern science, more of a precursor.
Can we please uneditorialise the title?
I'm not as hopeful as you. That Parallella chip went nowhere and had a ton of issues.

Well, when I say consumer, I mean unmanaged and less than $100 for 4-8 ports. I assumed that when gigabit over UTP was formalized in 1999, I wouldn't have to wait a quarter century to upgrade, but here we are. And to be fair, gigabit still basically does what I need.
You can have an enemy that is strong, yet still manage to be (or get) stronger.
The stock 8700k boosts upto 4.7 Ghz. I don't think your extra 300Mhz will make that much of a difference.
Many interesting things happen at the limit of what’s currently possible. That’s why extreme efficiency of computer hardware and software will always be important.
I seriously doubt you're referring to anything people have been willing to kill for to get access to throughout the ages like alcohol or weapons.

Alcohol and firearms are intimately intertwined in US history, from what sparked our revolution into a hot shooting one as the British attempted to destroy arms and ammunition stored in Concord, Massachusetts to the Whiskey Rebellion which started 16 years later.

One should not consider forcing a major social change without considering the consequences, the example of the lasting to this day damage done to the social order of Prohibition of alcohol being an excellent example. For example all but extinguishing the local tavern and replacing it with the speakeasy derived bar, massively damaging respect for the law, giving organized crime it's greatest period to entrench itself in the nation, etc.
> That feels like a slippery slope to me.

It only feels like a slippery slope if you make no attempt to think about why Twitter is a bad place for certain kinds of debate, and instead assume that whatever traits make Twitter bad for that generalize to the entire public sphere.
As Americans Shed Their Masks, Asia Largely Stays Covered Up
I do want to point out that I said, leader, not manager. There is a certain power hunger that concentrates as you move up the ladder. Line level managers, especially in tech are, as you say, servant-leaders with a prime focus on keeping engineers happy. They are not the people making decisions on return to office. Walk up that ladder a bit more and you will see more of the sociopathy that is a specific quality of kings and CEOs.
I despise subtitles, I watch films for the visual medium when I turn on subtitles they distract me from watching the actual film. I know I’m uncultured etc but I can’t help the way I feel about it.
It doesn't seem that hard to differentiate "Marriott is washing towels less often to save money, not because they care about saving water" from someone claiming that climate change isn't happening...
I would put climate action as #3
Vitalik has said using 256-bit word sizes in the EVM was his biggest regret from the early days of Ethereum.

As others have mentioned, it was largely chosen because of the ubiquity of 32 byte hashes. But overkill for regular math. One pernicious issue is that it makes translating existing smart contracts into ZK rollups really challenging because 256 but arithmetic blows up the circuit size.

Without empirical evidence, I'd always be skeptical that we really knew what was going in inside some unobservable region of spacetime, even if the math all works out and agrees with what's observable. Theoretical physics divorced from the need for experimental results gives us endless string theories. It's the same arguing for some interpretation of QM. You might have the most convincing arguments for there being many worlds making up the wavefunction, but without some way to confirm that, it's metaphysics. And one mights well go all the way and embrace Tegmark's mathematical universes or some simulation argument. But that isn't science anymore.

I don't care how good the math looks. Reality isn't obligated to confirm to some human aesthetic about beauty or simplicity. You have to first make some metaphysical assumption that the universe has to be that way. And the only way we can really know is to have empirical evidence.
TBH, there are people way more qualified in this area than I, but AFAIK Intel CPUs run at the turbo speed as long as they have sufficient cooling, and the benchmarks run at maximum performance available, which would be 4.7GHz in this case. Therefore, the benchmarks should be pretty close to your OC. You could verify this theory by running the benchmark yourself.
> Twitter is so close to being perfect, I hope they fix it…

LOL, I couldn't disagree more. Twitter is profoundly broken. Scams to UX, pretty much every aspect of it is subpar.
the term fascism is popular because it’s just an evil sounding word; the ash part sounds like you’re tearing paper; it’s scary. same reason why words like fuck or blob are popular, they are basically just sounds that onomatopoeize a vague idea. so fascism just means big scary mean evil government to 99% of people and the word fascism sounds like paper being ripped in half which is a violent sound.
Not sure what you are talking about. Those Open-Source projects that use Matrix as a official chat are as active as any other open-source project rooms.
We all are. That little performance bummed me out quite a bit the first time I saw it. I still think his general life advice is good though.
there's lot of discussion about modern warfare being waged digitally, or otherwise simulated. though i think the modern new fascist movements have adequately utilized those means. they just also happen to be para-military LARPers as well.

and i most certainly don't see a shortage a charismatic women taking the charge in these movements. i mention this only to push back against any idea of "hard wired" which i reject on principle. "natural" machines as complex as "micro-societies banding together under charismatic males" is too complex for me to believe it is not a sociological construct.
Thanks. That use is very much want I was thinking. I had very similar experiences with elder relatives and it would have made their (our) lives easier and better.
I think your point of view is a valid one, but I saw my role with my comment on just correcting facts. They hadn't realized that Twitter had in fact used the word "consensus." I was not offering a view either way. In that spirit, I'd also note for you that this new policy applies specifically to advertising. Not to what you can post. You can still be opposed to this policy, for reasonable reasons, but just to clarify.
Right. The vast majority of people rejecting global warming are doing it for irrational reasons.

But Twitters rule would also exclude earnest differences of opinions. During law school, my class had a talk that included a tenured climate scientist at our university (a major research institution). He had a non-census view of climate change that predicted warming 25-50% less than UN models. A bunch of law professors came and read him the riot act for DENYING SCIENCE. It was crazy. That's exactly the type of censorship big tech is engaging in.

This is/has always been obvious to everyone that works with Apple hardware/software, it's not really a secret.

They move this fast to keep people on their toes - they know that everyone will just have to keep running after them, otherwise you lose a huge part of your userbase.

I assume this isn't as much of a problem for regular apps, but games are finished pieces of art and recompiling them with a new engine version is often unfeasible.
That sounds an awful lot like a bunch of tin-foil hat conspiracy talk.
that is what i thought. the actual trading code is probably in c or c++ or is in an fpga being controlled by the trading code.
I think Library Genesis is an excellent example. As a quick test they host both The Turner Diaries and The 1619 Project.

I would believe the people who run libgen if they said they were against book banning - at least until I discovered the books that they did ban, if there are any.

Are you Apple? Or do you identify yourself as being part of the Apple family?
Agree;

I stopped using Netflix a long time ago, when the "algorithm" started ramming content through my throat;

I couldn't disable automatically playing previews on the home screen, it automatically started skipping over intro's and outro's, automatically playing the next show, etc. etc.

Everything just screams "thou shall consume more".
Is that how Mussolini’s Italy approached masculinity?
This is doubly unpersuasive in any common law jurisdiction. The whole point of such a system is that the idea that the correct outcomes are easier to arrive at in the specific than the general, and that the codification happens after precedents.

Even in civil law systems the fact is that case law is a coexistent partner to the interpretation of texts.

The fact this guy is learning law should actually be a cause of not taking this very seriously. I would be more interested by a practitioner making the case. (I am not!) In fact, this applies strongly to the case he gives: I would bet no judge in Canada (outside of Quebec, maybe?) would take his argument seriously. The way he has approached this question honest smacks of ivory tower academia.

If you made be steelman the argument, it should be that the usual methods predate the era of formal methods, and that the overall system could be made better. Then one would have to explain better in an operationally important way for practitioners and workers in the system, usually by some convincing argument about time saved. Remember that arguments over definitions is a very small part of the time taken in the job!
This point has nothing to do with the actual strength of the enemy, it's about the rhetoric around it.
I suspect if masking continues for long enough, societies will lose herd immunity to essentially all viruses. In most cases that would take 5-10 years, though.
That's like saying that software engineering is about typing. Observations and experiments are low-level activities you perform while doing science. Actual science works on higher levels.

Convincing yourself that your ideas are right is a low bar. The key part of doing science is convincing yourself that your ideas are wrong. It's about telling the difference between actually discovering something new and making mistakes in experiments and reasoning. If you fail to convince yourself, you ask others to convince you that your ideas are wrong. If they also fail, you are starting to build a consensus that maybe you have actually discovered something.

Believing in something that contradicts the consensus is politics. Building a consensus among experts who are skeptical but open to new ideas is science.
When I turn on subtitles I spend the whole time reading, so I’m not a fan of doing it that way. I’ve no doubt that the quality of the plot acting etc is great (I did watch squid games) but I only really watch TV at the end of the day and I’m usually browsing on my tablet as well.
TLDR; There exist many solutions, none of them experimentally verifiable and hence the pointless debate continues.
> there's some things we have to keep closed

Can you elaborate on the have-to part?
It's interesting how similar this is to many of the Twitter accounts I've followed. Some even claim to be libertarian.

I think the fact that 7 billion people live overwhelmingly under a multi-hundred-year improving standard of living [1], leveraging low-friction global trade, commerce and communication in among the most peaceful period in human history [2] is a pretty clear indication that government does in fact work.

Is it perfect? No, nobody will say that. But of course the solution to problems in any overwhelmingly complex system with a long track record is not re-invention but continued optimization. [3] Takes a long time to turn a big boat, and anyone promising you otherwise is selling you a crock.

What I've heard is that 10Gb over copper struggles with heat and power consumption, though it is technically possible.
The line is drawn by what you think the underlying motive is or would be. If you asked the BPL to host your book our shared assumption is that they would decline because they don't have infinite space and there are a large number of books out there. If their reasoning was that they thought your content was offensive or would inspire bad things in your audience then we would consider them to be "banning" your book.
Sonic black holes have been studied experimentally. They are only weak analogs of actual black holes, so how much light they can shed on real black holes, I don't know, but it does seem to me that as long as they do have insights to reveal, we can't say that work on black hole information loss is purely mathematical. It's also possible that pure mathematical solutions will yield predictions that can be tested w/o a black hole.

So I'm a bit skeptical of her take on this subject, though if work in this space is unrewarding and there's more rewarding work to do elsewhere, then that makes sense. But then, I am not a physicist!

Items 4, 10, 13, and 14 (at a minimum).
It’s just a question of what you’re trying to use these numbers for.

Imputed rent for example is one of those things that’s kind of silly on the face of it but makes various comparisons more reasonable. On the other hand it can also imply a great deal of economic activity that isn’t actually happening.

PPP is the same sort of calculation. If rents crash because a great deal of housing was built it can make GDP comparisons kind of meaningless. The country has more tangible wealth, people are better off, yet GDP falls. That’s not what you want the number to represent.
Lol…’advanced hollow core fibre’. You mean fused silica capillary tubing? The stuff Hewlett-Packard patented like 40 years ago?
I don't think any "people" are claiming it will ALWAYS go your way, and if they are they are wrong. The point is at least you have a shot at some sort of remediation. You can appeal to courts and work it out. Sometimes there can be an error so egregious that you end up losing your money. But in general the intent of a contract is strongly considered with human decisions. Computers have no concept of intent. Yes incompetence is everywhere, but how often does one messed up line lose millions of dollars? Even skilled developers make mistakes. We saw it at the very dawn of smart contracts with the DAO being broken, and Ethereum forking which blew up the "irreversabilty feature", and showed that there is great potential for a contract to be not what was intended.

With crypto if the cryptography is secure you have absolutely zero recourse to get your money back. Ever. One of the selling points of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts is the non reversibility/mutability of them. However it has been shown many times that that causes harm more often then it has benefit. Loads of assets have been stolen/lost/rendered irrecoverable.

In this case ALL parties would agree that it is definitely not was desired when they went into the contract so it would not even have to go to mediation. They could simply write a new contract rendering the other void in the non crypto world.
Which in a way boils down to the corrupt voting system of the US. Since the voting system makes it mathematically "impossible" for more than 2 parties to exist you end up voting for either party, and since there's only two, the other one is a piece of shit.

With another voting system (CGP Grey YouTube has great videos on this) you'll have more parties meaning you're not put against one "opponent" that you'll always hate.

Your voting system is not democratic (if you're from the US) and I see it as weird how this isn't mentioned more often.
> aren't interested in discussing the actual data.

> I can provide the data if this is an earnest request

It is, please do so we can discuss the actual data as you've said.
Yeah this is it. At the end of the day I just want some background noise that’s entertaining not to have to focus entirely on what I’m watching. It’s rare that I have the time and energy to sit down and watch a show or movie just to take in the plot. That is usually reserved for the theater where I’m forced to not distract myself.

Wish she had included more socially 'regressive' ideas on this list. Some changes to social norms over the course of our lifetimes have surely been mistakes [from a utilitarian perspective, presumably the paradigm of choice here].
I did put climate action as #3, but I think it's fairly weak. "Nature" isn't quite the evil scheming enemy fascists "plots" come up with. For a while, global finance & banking was maybe in such a role, but that populism wasn't limited to the left, and it just doesn't feel as vitriolic: nobody on the left today is envisioning tribunals and guillotines which, as it happens, is a constant obsession with Q-Anon, the anti-vaccination crowd, and the January 6th crowd.

Plus, obviously, climate change is real.
I also remember when the liberals were anti-war and pro-free speech.
