That's a very strange claim. As far as I know, the same CRC has been used for ZIP since it was invented by the PKWARE guys in the 80s. Moreover, no one deeply understood the properties and tradeoffs of various CRCs the way we do now, so everyone used largely identical algorithms with only trivial variations. Phil Katz did the same and reused the same polynomial that was in ethernet and dozens of other standards, which in turn had originated from this 1975 report: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA013939.pdf

He wasn't even the first to put a CRC in an archive format, as the predecessor format ARC had a CRC-16 doing the same thing.
Not OP but restart and clear output can be quite compute intensive if you're working with big datasets or training ML models. There are many ways to mitigate this like saving weights and only redo the inference but it's not always worth it when you're iterating through models and parameters or doing exploratory data analysis. Most of the time you want to just keep results/outputs of previous run and improve from there

I really like that the author gave some context at the top. So many times I struggle to read or realize the importance of a concept because there just isn't enough context for me to follow along.

And certainly not all blogs have to, but it's nice when it is.
While it's possible to imagine a history where the French free the slaves and somehow still convince them to work on the sugar plantations, resulting in a better outcome for everyone, reaching such a set up would have been a Herculean task. It's hard to view independence as a bad outcome for the slaves without such a scenario.

>Should they have just fought the French again?

Without the distraction of the French Revolution, I can't picture France losing that war. From the article, the US lost ~15 men in the 1915 war to ostensibly conquer the country, throughout most of the 19th century France likely could have won with similar ease. That's surely what the Haitians believed, as they only agreed to the indemnity due to gunboat diplomacy.

> Is there a counterfactual that suggests what could have been done differently?

The best counterfactual is the US, where the French acknowledged and supported us allowing a new nation to be built. Nobody gave Haiti support, save a couple thousand Polish soldiers.

At most, maybe without the 1804 massacre of the French the Haitians would have gotten somewhat better treatment. But as they were already given such poor treatment, I doubt it'd have vastly improved things.
Where I live many households own firearms (likely around 50%+). B&E is nearly non-existent in homes, but we get a fair share of overnight car break ins though. These are usually opportunistic where the cars are unlocked and the theft can be achieved quietly and quickly. Porch pirates as well.

I definitely attribute the lack of household break ins to be a correlated to the number of gun households. Areas with a high degree of gun ownership and castle laws, there is a pretty big deterrent to the criminal to find their prey elsewhere. Just too much risk for the minimal rewards you find in most homes.
Local zoning codes change on the order of decades. That will take a long time to play out.
While the SawStop is definitely impressive, almost any modern table saw is safer than one from the 60's due to the standardization of riving knives. For those who don't know, it's the metal fin behind the saw blade, and it's thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than the teeth. It reduces the chances of wood binding on the saw blade (and resulting kickback) by a large amount. They're a required component by many countries and standards bodies.

Add in cheap 3d-printed push blocks, push sticks, and feather guides and almost no one is losing digits these days unless they're willfully ignoring safe practices or using the wrong tool for the job. Tracked saws and 3d printed router jigs have also added options when a piece would be awkward or unsafe to table saw.

> But they're not orthogonal issues (particularly not in the format discussed in the paper, where chains of neighbours may delegate to each other until one person in the chain casts a vote). You can't have a system in which multiple votes are delegated to X and yet the identify of X is indistinguishable from the single votes of Y and Z.

This is just one form [1], there are many. The two variables are independent. You can have direct, liquid, representative democracy with or without secret ballot; therefore, they are orthogonal issues.

> If I'm aware that I've become X's delegate, the objection upthread is sustained because no secrecy exists

As I commented elsewhere, you don't need to be aware that you are anyone's delegate, just that you are a delegate. You don't even need to know how many votes you have to cast. The only thing you need to do is cast the votes that you have, however many, an to whomever they belong, which you need know nothing about.

> Voting alone isn't sufficient for a good democracy.

You’re the one that said “voting”. I originally said democracy.

Voting is just one of the brass taxes of democracy. A democracy is not less capable of making rights, constitutions, etc. than for example a bunch of so-called founding fathers. Or whatever/whoever else.

> , not definitions.

Right. I am not trying to make a foolproof political system from a bunch of axioms, here. Remind me. Who was the one who objected to my off-the-cuff definition of “democracy”? Is that same person now objecting to focusing on definitions?
I happen to subscribe to this logic. I will often specifically choose bus seats that I think will fare better in a crash, as I feel at risk without belts. I'm surprised others don't feel the same.

What the author is describing are rules of homeowner's associations and other similar organizations.

Individuals freely enter agreements with homeowner's associations which dictate land use. One is also free to choose to live in a place not governed by these rules. But, they are not the law of the land and they do not implicate a lack of freedom in the U.S. relative to other countries. Its quite silly to suggest as much.
It seems to already be filled with racial slurs unfortunately.

I used Gemstone/J for a number of years. This is the version of Gemstone DB for Java applications, same capabilities as the Smalltalk version. If you are familiar with Object Databases you will find it very easy and capable.

Before using Gemstone/J with a Java application, I worked in Smalltalk for a number of years building an application backed by a different object database product, so I was already familiar with the advantages and pitfalls of using an OO DB. If you are familiar with using an OO DB, Gemstone is an easy transition.
> but others were complete wastes of money, e.g. giving checks to families making 6 figures

Remember that the cutoff for stimulus was from prior year's taxes. This means you could have been making 6 figures in 2019, and then be making significantly less due to covid job loss or reduction when stimulus was handed out. As a matter of fact, stimulus helped my family greatly even though we made 6 figures in 2019. So following through on your claim would have meant my family suffering. YMMV.
But the delegator would want to know how their delegate voted.

It's possible you're compensating for being denied the enjoyment of highly entertaining 80s and 90s TV. You missed out. Your friends probably talked about things they watched, and you couldn't join in.

Decades later, you sound jaded and bitterly overconfident in the idea that television sucks the life out of people and renders them simple minded lesser humans.

> "Because they gave me an appreciation that life is to be lived"

Denying a kid television doesn't automatically fill the void with quality life experiences. Kids will get bored, and throw a ball against a wall for hours. Nothing was learnt that day. The brain did some low-level hand-eye coordination, that's it.

There's rubbish on TV but also quality shows, including educational shows. Even when confined to entertainment, it's enriching for children to see actors, characters and stories that communicate ideas.
I'm a bit surprised, I would have guessed publishing permit holder locations would have lead to organized and targeted attempts to monitor and steal guns from the households listed.

Per lethal TBI, I don't think the data exists for per mile or per minute.

Good catch, looking at their methods, they do include IDC-10 codes for pedestrian and bicyclist injuries due to motor vehicles in that number so I am not sure how many of those are actual vehicle occupants and I can't find any data at the moment that breaks those numbers down per IDC code group.

While Haiti gained independence from France in 1791, France demanded "reparation" from that loss under the threat of a war.

> They reveal a debt so large, and so lasting, that it would help cement Haiti’s path to poverty and underdevelopment.
Haiti became the first and only country where the descendants of enslaved people paid the families of their former masters for generations.

> In 1825, France demanded five annual payments of 30 million francs.
The amount was far beyond Haiti’s meager means. The first payment alone was about six times Haiti’s entire revenue that year, according to the prominent 19th-century Haitian historian Beaubrun Ardouin.

We used to only have art that was created or discovered. Now we add art that is synthesized, which still requires a prompt and optionally curator.

I'm thinking about immediate applications and extension, instead of describing the image, describe a context and effect: e.g. a financially distressed couple, relieved by a comical accident. The natural next steps seem to be in advertising, or storyboarding shallow content--still best used by a human than let loose like monkeys on typewriters.

> The comparison with other countries tends not to be made.

I find that problematic because it reduces the situation in these developing countries to a moral narrative with the ultimate purposes of embettering descendants of european countries. But these narratives don’t facilitate solutions. The French are not, for example, going to ever pay back the $20 billion or so in reparations they demanded from Haiti. Nor are the British going to pay back the $1 trillion+ they expropriated from India.

I’m much more interested in cross comparisons to industrial development to European countries. Bangladesh is currently industrializing using foreign capital. What parallels can be drawn to Germany or the US that would help keep that going? Because at the end of the day, the 6-7% annual GDP growth the country is currently enjoying is more significant to Bangladeshis than the combined effect of all the moral narratives ever penned about the country by the likes of the New York Times.

> The question is how long something lasts without needing any repair. The warranty is a good approximation of this.

No, it's not. That's why some manufacturers offer much longer warranties than others despite having similar reliability numbers. Warranty terms are driven by the business and encompass a lot more than mean time to first failure.

> iPhones are irrelevant to the discussion, lol.

If warranties were a good approximation of how long things last without repair, why would that only apply in the car world?

> Why does the teenager have that job, and would the teenager be happier without a job?

Isn't the point here that the teenager has that job because there are no coin slots in carts, so there has to be someone collecting the carts?

I don't know if the teenager would be happier without a job, but that is a bit of a leading question - it's not like fetching carts is the only job that exists. Maybe they would prefer to work a different job that doesn't involve cart wrangling, and involves spending more time doing something useful.
It seems like the correct approach is to penalize their staff that does risky stuff instead of this proxy metric that presumes people who ride with helmets are going to take bigger risks because of it.
Congratulations! Compiler Explorer has been immensely useful to me over the years.

And which SIMD instruction set should we be talking about? NEON-instructions or with the SVE instruction set?

Not in NEON, and therefore not in M1. AVX512 and SVE add scatter/gather instructions.

Intel/AMD's AVX has vgather instructions, but is missing vscatter until AVX512.

> Having dedicated instructions for specific operations (whether for crc/aes/nnp or whatever) feels like a CISC-based approach, so I think I agree with the GP.

Not only are there AES instructions on ARM, but there's also SHA-instructions. The mix-columns step of AES more or less demands dedicated hardware if you want high-speed today, so everybody implements that as a hardware specific instruction.
