Would they wait for 70 years to let water in, to still get it irradiated 10x the normal background radiation? So that everybody, including small babies would drink it eventually? Or just say fuck it, progress is priority #1 and let the water in immediately, let the future generations solve the issues.

Yeah, I really wonder why even Chinese decided to not go that way...

Nobody here is "convinced by their marketing" or has even mentioned they believe GLs claim. They're only asking for an explanation of your metric: that location based pay grades preclude leadership in remote working. I have yet to see any reasonable case for why this should be?

Corporate financial influence is far less. Because there is a quite large segment of actual left, and even 5% to 10% actual communists in the Eu parliament. All thanks to proportional representation in the Eu allowing everyone's views to be represented.

And initiatives like this, same with the Microsoft ballot box initiative, are generally brought to Euparl and led by left-wing MPs, especially communists. There is considerable awareness and following of Open Source in Eu political circles, including Euparl.

Incidentally, a Green-Left coalition dominates Euparl right at this moment as far as I know.
I thought that was the comparison you were drawing but it's misguided.

The denoising part of a denoising autoencoder refers to the noise applied to its input, the image, not to its latent space as would be the case in the equivalency you establish between the noise distribution used as the input of a GAN's generator and the latent space of an auto-encoder (input of the decoder).

Making a comparison between the generator and a decoder and their respective input spaces has some legs but not much so. An AE's latent space is constrained in an entirely different way with a regularization term that tries to minimize the divergence between the wanted distribution and the learned distribution, that's not a problem you have with a GAN since you simply draw from your wanted distribution every time. These differences lead to learned distributions in the latent space that are entirely different, with different failure modes wrt generalization and interpolation.

Beyond that the comparison just doesn't work, yes there are two networks but the discriminator doesn't play the role of the AE's encoder at all. In addition the learning signal is not the reconstruction of the input but the classification of the generated image. That's a completely different learning process, the learned distribution is different, the gradient path is different, the training is different (much more complex for a GAN), etc... I could go on.

The VQGAN would fall under the clause in my initial comment about GANs which specifically use an AE in their very specific architecture, like the AAE. In the AAE's case they use a discriminator to regularize the latent space of an AE(instead of classifying the generated image), in the VQGAN they use a full autoencoder as generator, in addition to a third network for the discriminator. These do not fit the comparison you're making and do not function in general like most GANs do. So the general comparison of GANs to autoencoders remains inaccurate.

Maybe they could briefly mention what "anti-interdiction" actually means in this context? This way you have to open one of the links in the first paragraph and scroll down to get to the following key phrase:

> The word interdiction in our context refers to a laptop being intercepted between the time it leaves our fulfillment center and the time you receive and open the box.

That's very interesting, because it has nothing to do with the usual meaning of "interdiction", which is (1) "the action of prohibiting or forbidding something" or
(2) "the action of intercepting and preventing the movement of a prohibited commodity or person". So my first thought when reading "anti-interdiction" was "are they trying to stop others from forbidding something?". Ok, you could somehow derive their meaning of "interdiction" from (2), but it's a stretch. Also it's contrary to the etymology - from Latin inter "between" + dicere "to speak, to say". I mean, the bad guys are not saying something, they're doing something to your laptop. Maybe "interfaction" (doing something in between) would be a better word?

The black death is a bad analogy. At the time, population was at the upper limit that could be sustained with the technology of the time. If a farmer wanted a larger harvest, they would need to farm a larger area, denying its use to others, thus causing them to starve. Conversely, the large number of deaths directly increased the resources available to everyone else. It was a zero-sum game, with one person's loss being the other's gain, and vice versa.

We no longer live in that world. Assume climate change kills off 100 million people (more than any estimate I could find), i.e. slightly more than 1% of the current world population. The resulting increase in resources per capita would be less than a single year of global GDP growth. This is very much not zero-sum. If a farmer who used to till the fields by hand switches to using a tractor, they're feeding many more people than they harm with the tractor's greenhouse gas emissions.
> Perhaps the tiny surface of the world you interact with now has more conveniences than before, but that is very distant from a reality where things are getting better.

By MANY measures, the world has been getting gradually better for just about everyone: https://ourworldindata.org/a-history-of-global-living-condit.... When we look at the facts globally, there is a clear and obvious trajectory.

> Toxic optimism won't make things better. Only acknowledging problems instead of hiding them behind layers of abstraction will.

Who isn't acknowledging problems? My optimism doesn't mean I think there aren't serious, present, and pressing problems (I do!). These problems must be identified, and we must take action to resolve them. I'm just optimistic that we will continue to do so, as we always have. I believe in doing the work involved, and my optimism makes me think it's worth putting in the effort, that it's worth doing the hard yards.

It is amazing how the understanding of what happens in our computers goes from : the air we breath to a mystery.

Although if you asked one of my 900 coworkers in 1981 who wrote flight simulation software in Fortran, how the VT100 terminals interacted with the computers they were connected to,only a few dozen would know.

One of my projects at the time was to create a library to support the creation of 'screen oriented' applications without knowing the escape sequences.
tl;dr If you're on Firefox you can temporarily disable mixed http/https protection using the padlock icon near the URL. Of course it goes without saying that you should never provide anything sensitive with this protection disabled as MITM attacks are possible. [1]

The setup of this page is strange. http forwards to https but all the assets (JS, images, CSS) are full domain http only inside a served https page. There also some references that use the protocol free // prefix so the authors knew this was possible if they wanted both http and https but only used it in some parts of the page.

> However, I do think that one should not arrive at the belief that this kind of
> optimisation is warranted everywhere and that code simplicity can also be a goal

Definitively not warranted everywhere, especial if premature and at such detail, but core utils like `cat` and `yes` are IMO prime examples of where such optimizations are warranted:

- They're in use daily on a huge amount of setups, even small benefits add up much more than in some niche tool.

- They got a clear and small feature set that won't change anytime soon, so there won't be much code churn and thus maintenance effort will be relatively low.

> Similarly, there is the NSFW comparison between Plan 9’s cat and GNU coreutils’
> cat [3].
>
> [3]: http://9front.org/img/longcat.png

IMO that isn't an exactly fair comparison though, as the difference is not only in optimizations but a lot in boilerplate license/copyright comments and in features like line numbering, modes for showing (non-printable) special characters or whitespace and option parsing for said features.

Strip all that out, and you got (eye balled) 1/3 of that, and 200 lines for an extremely fast core util is really not much nor hard to maintain, as it won't get any new features soon anyway.

That enforcement is pretty much enough for Eu businesses to observe GDPR.

And its way more than enough for large foreign tech companies like FAANG to have obliged with it waaaaay earlier.

Enforcement generally happens upon reporting. So your garden-variety startup or corp somewhere in the US or another corner of the world is unlikely to get reported unless they start to get sufficient userbase in the Eu.
Isn't Librem 5 USA just a hype? I mean from what I understand only a PCB and some insignificant compotents are made in the US and all the rest is sourced from around the world? Like the CPU comes from South Korea etc.

So what's the difference whether it is assembled in the US and say in China?
How they ensure the parts they install are not compromised?
Do they only employ US and security cleared workers on the assembly line?

How hard would be for the Chinese or Russians to pay an employee to slip some compromised chips to pick and place machine?
This is understandable, but wouldn’t it also happen that the LP uses various signals to communicate to the VC that now’s a bad time?

Such as opening the small talk a Zoom call by saying ‘it’s been a very difficult month for us.’

There are very few VCs who won’t be influenced by a signal even as simple as this one.
Blackrock funds have mandates. If the mandate says ESG score must be >10 then that fund must hold ESG >10 stocks.

Nobody is holding a gun to investors heads, forcing them to allocate money into funds that have this mandate that then only buy stocks that fulfil this mandate.

> Is a huge financial institution threatening to sell not a 'reason' and a form of power?

Investors threaten to sell stock all the time. Sales are shit - im gonna sell my stock unless you fire some people. Not paying a dividend - im gonna sell my stock unless you pay one. Stock price is performing poorly - im gonna sell my stock unless you do a stock split to con people into thinking the stock is cheaper.

Then you refer to your contract where on page 1 it states fairly clearly that there are no guarantees of returns and that the management fee is on the amount 'under management', and that a capital call will be inbound.

Obviously all of these scenarios tend to be covered by the contracts and if you can't read a contract of that level of complexity then you should not be playing this game.

Yeah. That has been going on since 2005, and the US started it. It even adopted the whitepapers of think-thanks that advocated that exact trade war, elaborating how to sink the Eu's economy. This has been escalating since then.

This law basically says that the Eu is going full-out.

Yes, state is only modified on the server, not in the dumb clients. Weakening this fundamental idea is what makes it hard to write modern single page applications.
Even if those additional MB/s are not critical for any particular application, tools like these are ran a humongous amount of times every day throughout the world, so while I have no data, I suppose the total CPU usage could be enough that global energy/carbon savings from this kind of optimization would be relevant.
Given this definition, abduction seems to me to be the source of many, many arguments between significant others. "I know you! You must think [some random opinion] because of [some past unrelated event]."

In theory, you know the final opinion, and you know how your partner thinks, so you can logically guess what the source of the opinion is.

So abduction is armchair psychology?
I only know about the US.

>It is still the buyer who pays even if it is the seller who pay the commission since the commissions are baked into the sell price

This is a trivial characterization, just like an individual who buys lettuce at the grocery store pays for the wages of the person that grows and picks and packages it.

A buyer does not have much incentive to not use a real estate agent because a seller using a real estate agent has already agreed to pay x% or $x to the sell side agent, who will give a portion of that to the buy side agent.

The reduction in costs only comes when purchasing from a home being sold without the use of a real estate agent (“for sale by owner”).

If the US was able to exert sufficient influence on the Eu, the trade war that the US itself started in 2005 would not reach such a point in which the Eu basically placed a kick in the balls of the US tech monopolies.

Which should never have happened and those companies should have never been let to dominate the Internet and everyone's lives to this extent. Especially considering how they are private tyrannies that decide whatever is the best for them, not their users.

And then you have a possibly confusing situation where you have two programs that do essentially the same thing, but one is faster, and the other one is possibly not provided by default. As a user, in cases it matters, you'd have to know the issue and bother installing the new program. This is worse. As developers, I think it's our duty to make life of users simpler, even if it makes our lives a bit more complicated. I'd argue that's what we are here for.

I guess there's no ideal solution. But I think the "new" program does what the first one did better, and does not do anything worse.

We are talking about a program that still under 1000 lines of code and that's not getting new features every month, or at all anyway, so maintainability does not seem to be a big issue?

I see the reasoning but I don't see any actual practical drawback to have improved the original program directly in this specific case. I don't see any advantages of keeping "yes" dead simple neither. The new version is still pretty much readable and the extra time it takes to read it and modifying without doing mistakes seems worth the advantages.
