I read two or three books of his when I was in school to improve my english. I found him on the NYT best seller's list, where he seems to be a constant. You could argue that at some point this becomes self sustaining, but then again, there aren't many with a track record this consistent.
Genuine question: I've heard this criticism for literally every pop-history book I've read (Guns, Germs, and Steel; Sapiens; The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, etc). Are there any history books that are taken seriously in the academic world that are actually fun to read? If so, any recommendations? If not, is the issue basically that if you want some history book to be fun, you've got to make some interesting speculations along the way?

If I had you pegged wrong, then I apologize. But even the slightest whiff of Russian propaganda makes me see red. It has eaten away at the minds of my parents' and grandparents' generation, and a number of my slavic friends are suffering greatly because they don't know how to deprogram their loved ones. Just obvious, blatant fascism that's being repulsively consumed and regurgitated by the Russian media and population in a grotesque feedback loop. All an engineered frenzy by some deplorable propagandists high up in the Russian government. And now I see it spreading among contrarians in the Western world, too.

That's the scent I get from these comments. The same lies that I've been hearing on Russian TV for years and years. "Sanctions? Russia's doing better than ever! Failures? The entire war has been going exactly as planned! Technology? We have some of the most advanced military tech in the world! Ukraine? It was never a country to begin with!"

You're right, once an adversary gains physical access (or even remote access as your main login account), all bets are off. This is the area where the traditional UNIX security model has failed to adapt at all: you need a password to install a random game from apt (a vetted and trusted source), but you don't need a password to install a cryptolocker, or exfiltrate personal data.

However I like having a password (or some other form of confirmation), just so that I can stop to think for a second, whether what I'm about to do is a good idea.

What's annoying is that I effectively need two different policies on workstations and on servers, since I still want to be able to escalate privileges from maintenance scripts[1].

GIMP has been supporting WebP natively since v2.10 release in April 2018.
What else do you propose when trying to solve for this scenario? If all your passwords are within your password manager and you're suddenly incapacitated or dead, at some point a family members will need access. You can push people to use password managers themselves but sometimes that's just not going to happen, in particular if you're in a position where your next of kin might be older or just generally less technical and willing to adopt that kind of thing day to day.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but you're dealing with people and sometimes you need to make things simple rather than perfect to get the job done.
> Windows doesn't have fork()

It does (or maybe did, not sure if it still works) have the literal equivalent of fork() - NtCreateProcess() with NULL SectionHandle argument creates a new process which is a clone of the caller. However, it never really worked. The Win32 API did not support forking, and so any process which forked itself and then tried to invoke any Win32 API calls would soon crash or fail mysteriously. In theory forking did work for pure NT API applications, but those are rather limited in their abilities.

You're assuming that women want to find a relationship on a dating app. Tinder is essentially porn for women, where they get all the attention they want without doing anything for it. It's primarily entertainment. Using the app itself is the goal, so more interaction and more options are good for attracting a female user base. Of course this female user base has no interest in actually dating the male users and is thus worthless if your goal is matchmaking, but this is also good for the app since frustrated male users pay for premium accounts while happy couples uninstall the app.

Not op, but probably a common reasoning:

At home, I don't do threat models or risk assessments. I also don't care that much about 5 to 15% increase in benchmarks, I just hope that the OS vendor makes sensible decisions in regards to safety and performance.

At work, I do care about small increases but I would never just copy some random kernel options found on an otherwise empty web site. Cargo culting useless or harmful options is a very tangible threat.
I would argue that it is an option. As of now the code block inside...

if(christophercalm_is_gone) {
follow_his_instructions();
}

...will not execute.

On a more serious note though, on a social level, I think «if I'm gone» is much better phrasing than «when I'm gone» if the intention is to be prepared for unforeseen tragic events. Unless one is facing a terminal illness or is past a certain age, using when is too melodramatic, especially when the target audience are close loved ones. It doesn't only imply the inevitability of being gone some day, but also implies the certainty that ones current loved ones will have to face it and must know what to do.

I imagine that the author hopes to live to a ripe old age and probably outlive his "somewhat complex" home setup. In that regard, the if makes more sense, as it is nowhere near certain that anyone will have to deal with his home setup when he is gone.
I played with D quite a bit, and really liked its syntax, perhaps apart from the fact that you start with the type in declarations, which IMO is a bit detrimental to visual scannability.

Anyways, the strong concurrency story in Go finally bought me over there though.

I still miss the super readable (almost python-like) syntax from D though.

So the goal is to force smokers to increase the number of cigarettes they smoke to achieve the same effect. A 20-a-day smoker may now have to smoke 80-a-day to satisfy their craving, massively increasing their exposure to carcinogens and increasing their risk of COPD. Either that or switch to vaping, which might be the real intent.
The difference between modern humans and other animals, even extinct humans, is not the presence of intelligence, it is language.

Just compared to other extinct humans, we are more social and more violent.

I believe what makes humans different is this: language and music and religion. This makes humans something bigger than just the individual.

>That said, polymers (soft matter) doesn't do well in heat (or light), so applications are (and will forever be) restricted to low-cost throw-away devices IMO.

since I have no knowledge in this area I will ask a question that probably doesn't make sense - would these be useful in objects that were very sturdy and shielded from variations in heat and light - or will shielding cause other problem? I'm pretty much considering high cost outdoors equipment. Or given that it's probably high cost the cost of actually using metal ones would be negligible so it wouldn't make sense to skimp?

I use it on my laptop and run it to disable turbo boost most of the time -interestingly for performance reasons. Turbo boost leads to very erratic behaviour on laptops when you have long running CPU-intensive tasks (e.g. the cores run hot and it has to throttle down hard to cool them down again).

Also, drugs didn’t have a legal competitor.

Now that marijuana, for example, is largely being legalized through the U.S., illegal sales of marijuana have completely vaporized.

Very few will opt to use crypto if a government has deemed it illegal if there is a legal alternative.

I guess there is value in crypto if your government and civil society is completely collapsing, but those blockchains are being sustained entirely by first world gamblers hoping to make a buck on cryptos prices increasing.

Once they realize that crypto has been reduced to (as its backers are now insisting) a currency for failed states, they won’t gamble in crypto and they won’t fund the enormous amounts of energy needed to keep a blockchain running.

Maybe a non profit can run a blockchain that people in failed states can depend on. But then the question arises, why would that non profit use an expensive technology like the blockchain as opposed to simply using a Postgres DB. Something which all the biggest crypto exchanges already do to provide immediate transactions because the blockchain isn’t fast enough.

Which brings us to the point that the only reason anyone is using the blockchain is because it’s been successfully marketed to lay people as this magical inflation defying, freedom providing magic money tree that only goes up in value, when in reality it’s at best a pretty terrible database with some niche uses.
> What you don't see is how those people feel. Do they feel lucky to have their partner? Or do they feel that it's mostly the partner who's lucky in having them?

This is not a magical question, its been researched multiple times. People are less picky than they think, and we grow attached to people. Even if someone had feel like they settled in a relationship (btw this isn't happening, young people are taking twice as long in the dating part before marriage) the feelings grow quickly and we are progressive in the sense of progressing the relationship over breaking it.

If anything the problem is the opposite, people grow attached too quickly and many existing relationships shouldn't.

> If you prepare for war in the meantime

Yes, exactly - I should have written it more clearly:

> Buying time is the same as saving thousands of lives. I would hardly say that means it doesn't work [- unless you decide to waste that time by not preparing sufficiently.]

In short, you're right - buying time on its own doesn't help much.

I don't think Ukraine prepared sufficiently, by the way. I don't know what their leaders thought, but joining NATO was effectively a pipe dream due to the unresolved civil war in the east. Without NATO nukes it was obvious that they will need to fight for survival at some point. How come they need so much weaponry and ammunition right now? Where are the stockpiles accumulated over the last 8 years, where are the nationalized factories that produce tanks and guns, where are the roads, railways, bunkers, weapon caches, evacuation routes, minefields, trenches, and so on? Apparently in Switzerland - the most peaceful, neutral country (in Europe at least) - they have enough bunkers to house all its population and then some. They are used as warehouses normally... and mostly for long-lasting foodstuffs, too. How come Ukrainian civilians, after 8 years of preparation, need to hide in theaters? You could say that it's in hindsight that we know Russia would attack, but.. It's Russia we're talking about! They have a lot of similar wars in their history, both in the past ~1k years and in the past 50 years - enough to conclude that they will try to attack if the circumstances are favorable to it (after a major, world-wide crisis, preferably).
Can't intel and amd just change how long a core stays at a turbo frequency to mitigate this? I.e.: if it scales up by 1hz, it can't scale down by that much until N number of cycles.
Well there are a number of ways to show some of those in your profile. From your job, your photos, the activities you are doing in those photos, the people with you in them, your bio....

you can obviously lie about a number of them, but that probably would lead to a number of unsucessful first dates. On the other hand a weaker profile might lead to less dates, but if you have those skills in real life it might lead to a number of succesful dates.
Franchise stores and restaurants like McDonalds don't compete with each other as they have a physical attribute to them insuring this. IT Franchises however would be free to compete with each other making this business model pretty much impossible. The only way I see this working is with Franchises limited to one per country/state, who are specialised in regards to language, customer preferences and local laws.

Unfortunately safe deposit boxes aren't available everywhere - newly built banks often don't have them, and some banks that have them no longer accept new customers. --They're expensive to build and maintain, and they're seen as being in a somewhat grey area with regards to KYC laws.

At the end of the day, your best bet is to keep instructions on accessing your data (minus the actual code that is needed) somewhere it can easily be found by your family, and make sure that one or more family members have copies of the code but don't know the full details of where to use it without those instructions.
I must agree with this.

I understand algorithms more after I write down what they actually mean or do and why. The implementation is secondary.

I would rather read what an algorithm does than read your implementation. Even though the implementation is more useful from an execution perspective. From the description I can write my own. It's easier for me to understand a plain description of an algorithm or technology than the code that implements it. Reading code is an investment.

Reading code is harder than reading English of the same..I understand that English is imprecise but from a detailed description of say the Chrome layout engine I could probably learn how to write a layout algorithm but the documentation for layout algorithms doesn't exist in a digestible form so you are forced to read Chromium sourcecode.

The ORC whitepaper uses branch and bound optimisation technique paired with a constraint satisfaction optimiser. I suspect I can use ORTools.

> Limit the browsing and offerings so people are realistic in assessing others.

I've often wondered if there isn't some clever marketified/gamified version of this, where users can put on their profile "To contact me, you have to wait N days", where N is some variable they can control, and if the viewer clicks "Wait", they are prevented from browsing or messaging (or "Waiting" for) other people through the app for that period of time.

Of course people could still use other apps, which is probably the major flaw, but it would make people more selective about who they expressed an interest in, and in turn make the recipients feel more valued. Some people might set the parameter a little higher than their desirability really warrants, but I'd be intrigued to see how the meta-game around this develops.

Last year I read "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism."

Her theory, and I agree, is it isn't the loss of freedom per se, but the loss of privacy that's subverting us. Privacy is the key to freedom and autonomy. When we lose it, to Big Tech and Big Gov, Big Other (as she calls it) is able to use that knowledge against us, to influence our thoughts and behavior.

The book is exhaustive in it depth and breadth. I recommended to anyone who wants a firmer grasp of current tech and current events.

The author is an indie game dev so I'm pretty sure they're aware of the segment and whilst it doesn't mention indie games until the footnotes I think he intends the critique to extend to that space as well. At least that was my reading of the whole thing from the perspective of being a game developer myself. Although I also know the broader context from the discussions on gamedev twitter over the past week or so. The footnote:

"One thing I really don’t like about the general direction of “indie” games is that they seem more concerned with aesthetics. It’s often aesthetic progressivism mixed with design orthodoxy. A beautiful hand-drawn art style for a puzzle platformer less complicated than Mario."

This cultural stagnation is also pretty clear across pretty much the whole landscape from fashion to games. We're looping through the same few decades of nostalgia creating more of the same with small variations. IMO it's just a result of the commodification of creativity.
I don’t see anyone mentioning the latest South Park “movie”, but they presented this in a very humorous, yet grim, way.
Agreed. Especially considering that the main threats are still good old social engineering and gullible users downloading and running malware.

Attack vectors like Hertzbleed require considerable resources, detailed knowledge about the target (in order to get the required preconditions right), and as others pointed out are easily detectable.
Indeed there are conceptual and communications skills we possess that no animals approach. The problem I find in these debates is that we each have different ideas what terms like intelligence, understanding and consciousness mean.

Consciousness is particularly difficult because we use it in so many different ways. If you look in most dictionaries you will see about half a dozen different definitions ranging from meanings equivalent to perception, all the way up to awareness of ones self and the world, or self-reflection.

Personally I see no reason to suppose that the capacity for self-reflection depends on the cognitive skills underlying language, rather it seems to me it's likely to be the other way around. If this is correct, then I expect our ancestors evolved self-reflection before language, and therefore other animals might also have developed that capability without having language in the sophisticated form we possess.

Viewed in this way, if animals, particularly higher mammals and primates exhibit behaviour consistent with self-reflection and self-awareness, it seems reasonable to me that they may have inherited this capacity from a common ancestor of ours. That's especially so if many different species exhibit this trait. It seems unlikely that such behaviours would evolve completely independently in so many different species that are all related to each other and share so many common neurological features.
The point of the scientists quoted above is that those aren't safe assumptions.

1. Sperm count might not be falling at all.

2. If it is, that might be some sort of natural variation, or an effect rather than a cause (maybe sperm counts fall if you aren't regularly impregnating women, which is to some extent a social choice).

3. Even if there is a natural cause, it might not be chemicals.

4. Even if it is, that might not actually be a problem worth worrying about.
