In Netflix's case, the FreeBSD networking stack was a lot faster at the time.

FreeBSD (and other BSDs) are also a much simpler platform with orders of magnitude less "churn" taking place - if you are doing an engineering experiment that involves low-level integration with OS-level or kernel-level subsystems (eg kernel TLS f.ex) then it's a lot simpler to start from BSD, and you can very safely assume that your code will pretty much continue working in future releases as well. It's a far more stable platform to build a product around, Linux is "constantly on fire all the time" in comparison to the absolutely sedate pace of BSD development. It was built over the last 50 years (the oldest code in the FreeBSD repos dates to 1979) and it mostly Just Works Like You'd Expect. The good old 'cathedral vs the bazaar' tradeoff. Well, if you are building an annex, at least you know the cathedral isn't going to collapse under you next week, and by the time you get your project finished the bazaar might have moved on to something completely different and abandoned the thing you needed. But you don't get docker and the other New Things either.

Sony likes it because it allows them to release proprietary software off an open codebase. The conceptual divide is - GPL protects end user freedoms, at the cost of developer freedoms (eg linking to code with GPL-incompatible licenses, or not distributing the source to proprietary extensions to a GPL'd product). While BSD/MIT license it's the other way around, they're "here's this code, you can use it however you want", and sometimes that means doing things that users might consider "evil".
Percentage of people that plan to kill themselves, but simply fail to do so because something minor happens to interfere is not small; as in they do not end up committing suicide and never try again.

If someone really wants to kill themselves, no reason to make it easy, it should by definition be hard to do, since there is no undoing it.

"trying to replicate itself in the real world has to also make those computers."

? Why ?

And why does each 'AI' have to map to a single 'computer'?

This is narrow automaton thinking.

'Intelligence' in humans has nothing necessarily to do with real intelligence.

We are automatons with brains with very limited networking capability because of the limits of biology.

And of course what does 'replication' have to do with anything anyhow.
Just to be fair, the beer pouring app was a somewhat clever use of the accelerometer even if it was rather pointless, this one on the other hand skip's the whole clever part and jumps right to pointless.
no, but an insider can leak your security through obscurity, at which point any publically known rammifications that were overseen are easily exploited.
Could you give other examples? It seems to me that the balance between individual freedom and restrictions is pretty good in most western countries (I don't know much about other continents).
>If I want to die at 80 because I don't want to live past that point, that is my choice.

I think most reasonable people can agree with this. It gets more complicated when its a depressed 20 year old saying it.
Part of that is because there is only one train per hour on Sunday, and its a slow local. The latter is going to improve a bit soon since electrification is nearly done, but I somewhat doubt service is going to get much more frequent on the weekend.

The BART connection does suck, but I dont know how it look 2 hours to get to the Caltrain Station.
The problem with this is that states are very poor boundaries for almost any economic and demographic indicator: A US state is a mostly arbitrary collection of rural, urban and suburban people, which happened to be put together a few hundred years ago, and which have relatively few economic ties with people from different groups. A big difference among states is just how much of each group we get, plus a small multiplier between big, successful metro areas, and those that are not. How different is it to live in northern Illinois, vs south east Wisconsin? It's still really the Chicago metro area, and the state is mostly irrelevant. The same on both sides of the Kansas City metro.

When you are measuring income inequality within states, all you are seeing is that the largest metro areas are in almost all cases getting richer, while rural areas poorer. It's not a matter of rich states and poor states at all. For almost anything that matters, those state lines are just confounding your statistics.
Maybe it's just me, but if a stranger can talk you into killing yourself - what the fuck else can a stranger talk you into doing?

Maybe people need to take some responsibility, instead of arguing the existence of Dr Evils in medicine.

The article is the example.

There are massive systematic pressures on our healthcare system and the 'oldest' people who don't work or pay taxes are the big 'cost points'.
Funny they went with that headline, instead of 'most firms say no difference or net gain."
A one payer system doesn’t insulate doctors from personal incentives to cut costs.

The details of compensation can easily encourage one time injections over long term care.

Even if the injection is poison.

I know for a fact that “bounty” type programs are used by Canadian public health authorities, and for-profit actors make money from them.

I don’t know if this extends to long-term care scenarios, but there’s nothing about the way the Canadian health system is structured that offers strong protection against perverse incentives.

Arguably, the horrible US for-profit health system offers stronger protection against this. A dead patient can’t be charged for more services. But a system that equates medical consumption with good care has it’s own set of problems too obvious to mention.
The endless direction bit doesn't imply an endless map just more options than you can reasonably explore. You can easily spend thousands of hours in Skyrim without seeing every NPC with unique dialog and many games are much larger than that. Procedurally generated worlds like Factorio can take hours traveling in one direction just to see the border.
I think reasonable people can agree that aborting an unborn baby that is conceived 1 day prior is not murder, but a fetus 1 day from birth is a human and killing it is murder. There is some point between 1 day and 9 months where killing the baby is immoral.

Similarly, physician assisted suicide could make sense in some cases. However a chronically depressed patient that is annoying the doctor, I don't approve of offering suicide to. As someone who battled depression for many years and eventually vanquished it, a quick and painless suicide might have made sense when I was at my lowest point. I don't like how easy it has become in Canada according to this article.
The biggest horror of the situation is that many disabled but otherwise healthy people are ending up in the MAID system because of the extreme cost of living in Canada that the disability support system has made no attempt to keep up with.

Vancouver and Toronto are both on the top 10 most unaffordable cities on Earth, and it's literally killing people.
So I just did a quick search on the web for calculator app on the apple store (I don't own an iPhone) and for thr first one I found (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/calculator/id458535809) the same developer already has 3-4 other calculator apps and I see a couple of other calculator suggestions). So there might not be 200,000 calculator apps on the app store but maybe some 100s (?).

After maybe 10 or 20 the number doesn't really make a difference any does it? You will not look at them all to see how good they are, it's a function of how well the review/star system works. And yes that is a mess on the play store (is it better on the app store?)

A side note, a calculator that tracks my location, and other privat identifiers (see link above) and still charges $5?!
>On one hand, I understand the "what right do we have to kick homeless people off busses" argument.

I've also thought this, and I wish people would at least approach the subject with a little bit more humility.

It did take evolution 3.5 billion years to do it after all, so I'm not sure what makes us think we can do it in a fraction of that time.
>at this point

the slippery slope fallacy was never stated as an absolute truth; it exists to point out the absurdity in the belief that all things are sliding at all times.

that is to say : the slippery slope fallacy exists to point out that the constant slip isn't a realistic model for every social qualm to have ever existed, and is not universally applicable; not that it doesn't occur.
> But this sounds a bit like strawman, I never heard anyone ever making that claim.

Ah, but I am not saying that you said it. Sorry for not clarifying. I meant that in such similar discussions this point comes up VERY often here on HN which is just giving me the saddest of blues because the people around here really should know [much] better.

RE: Rust and web apps backends, I agree completely, that's why I use Elixir for that and it's honestly a sanity saver (not trying to convert you). For everything else I started making a best effort to use Rust -- although likely I'll retire part of my bash/zsh monstrosity scripts in favor of Golang, or maybe OCaml once its parallel story fully stabilizes.

On Ubuntu I used Remmina client to have a remote desktop of another Ubuntu over ssh tunnel. I did it over local WiFi attached to low-speed DSL and a fiber on the remote end.

It's quite usable graphically even with such channel. Of course, running graphically intense programs or remote video would not be practical, but spreadsheets ok.
I do think they should get rid of prop 13, demolish all single family homes, and replace them with high-density buildings. What many people mean however, is that they want to continue to live there in the same single-family house forever. This is why prop 13 exists in the first place.
If someone wants to kill themselves and is physically able I very much doubt that going through the legal process would be the easy way out.
Here’s an idea. I’m a 25 year old in Canada without any particular gift or grace of intelligence. Unless I want to work at Walmart for the next 30 years and survive in government housing, life is pointless.

So… I might as well grab a car, execute the greatest crime in my power for the sheer fun of it, and demand euthanasia at my sentencing.

Now I’ve got quite a moral dilemma for the judge. If you grant me my wish, I will die completely unrepentant and my victims will be denied a sense of justice forever. Death was my wish, their suffering my parting joy. If you don’t, how dare you keep me alive against my will.

If you think this is obviously wrong, why?

How do you tell the difference between someone suffering from depression that wants to die but could cure their depression and someone that just wants to die? Depression is an illness and it makes people do and say all kinds of things they wouldn't normally.

With Haskell, one always finds articles explaining how great it is, how its features (pure functionality) lend to correct code. But, articles explaining the core use cases and how only this language enabled solving it are rare. I'd love to read someone's decision postmortem that goes something like 'Here is a problem we were looking to solve. And here is how specific features A/B/C of Haskell helped us solve it well. Here's why Haskell was the correct choice for solving this problem'. What we instead have is 1000's of articles trying to teach us monads. Till such articles become mainstream, it will remain a niche language.

The whole avoid success at all costs looks more like a meme to me than actual strategy. There are functional languages (Clojure(Script), Elm) which made pragmatic decisions about the feature sets and have found commercial success. But with Haskell, it seems a reverse process was followed. It starts with some (questionable?) assumptions like lazy evaluation is good and then builds on top of it. For commercially viable software, the process is generally reverse. You start with specific problems and build a feature set from it.

The best way to understand this academic Vs. pragmatic approach is to look at Golang's relative success vs Haskell. No matter how much PL researcher snobs complain about golang, its creators started from real problems and chose some constraints carefully. The result is its widespread adoption in its niche (networked infrastructure code that can tolerate GC). Such cases are not documented for Haskell or are rare to find.

It is perfectly alright and better to say, look this was a research language to find out how far we can go with certain choices and assumptions. But constant evangelism about how it is elegant etc does not help.
> I have a very hard time believing that doctors will be suggesting euthanasia to patients who might not otherwise consider it. There is no financial incentive behind it

This article provides evidence to the contrary:

"Roger Foley, who has a degenerative brain disorder and is hospitalized in London, Ontario, was so alarmed by staffers mentioning euthanasia that he began secretly recording some of their conversations.

In one recording obtained by the AP, the hospital’s director of ethics told Foley that for him to remain in the hospital, it would cost “north of $1,500 a day.” Foley replied that mentioning fees felt like coercion and asked what plan there was for his long-term care."

Modern CPUs like the AMD EPYC server processor are "always NUMA", even in single-socket configurations!

They have 9 chips on what is essentially a tiny, high-density motherboard. Effectively they are 8-socket server boards that fit in the palm of your hand.

The dual-socket version is effectively a 16-socket motherboard with a complex topology configured in a hierarchy.

Take a look at some "core-to-core" latency diagrams. They're quite complex because of the various paths possible: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

Unfortunately, these equations only started making intuitive sense for me once I saw them repeated many times, in different contexts. The key was being able to recognize patterns and being able to roughly predict the contents of the equation based on its structure. For example, here the equation begins with the L(x_i, x_j, phi) which looks intimidating but it’s a very standard way of saying “likelihood” with mathematical notation. Then, you might notice that the equation has two “indicator” functions (the strange looking 1’s). Again, weird but it can be translated to an if else statement. Then, it’s easy to predict that one will have an = sign and the other a =/=.

All that to say that it’s painful for a bit to parse every symbol, but it gets easier to recognize the semantics after you’ve done it for similar cases.
IMHO the problem is the absurd Kafka-esque administration Castle.
Counter-argument: DALL-E is smart enough to understand that an astronaut riding a horse makes more sense than a horse riding an astronaut, and therefore assumes that you meant "a horse-riding astronaut" unless you go out of your way to specify that you definitely do, in fact, want to see a horse riding an astronaut.
There's evidence in the article this story is about:

"Roger Foley, who has a degenerative brain disorder and is hospitalized in London, Ontario, was so alarmed by staffers mentioning euthanasia that he began secretly recording some of their conversations.

The slippery slope is an informal fallacy.

And from the article:

Respectfully this just display ignorance on how doctors are compensated in Canada. They are paid by the act, meaning that "doing X" gives them money. Euthanizing someone is compensated as a single act so there really isn't an incentive to do it. Most doctors are actually refusing to do it because of their oath (and yes they can refuse).
Is there anything like a two-component drug, that you can get the parts of from two different sources, mix yourself, and kill yourself with in a humane way? In that case perhaps part A can be prescribed by one doctor, and part B by another, so no doctor is able to singlehandedly prescribe this lethal drug.
I don't know if this solves anything, but it puts friction in they system, which I think is needed.
I had a moment of disillusion when I first bought an iPhone. I came from Android, and when you open up the Marketplace, 99.9999% of the apps are useless piles of shit. I got an iPhone, and was so excited to open up the App Store. I did, and I found that 99.999% of the apps were useless piles of shit, many of which didn't even run on my devices.

I have no idea what Apple is trying to achieve with the App Store. If every app were a Top 10, that would be amazing, and that's what you'd think you get from all the human curation. (How can every app in an app store be the best? Reality distortion field, trust me.) Instead, you just spend a million hours getting your crap app through human reviews until the human is like "you know what? FUCK IT" and they just let it in. The result is an App Store that's probably going to have laws made against it, for absolutely no gain for the end user. I don't get it.
Sure. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/23/three-netherla...

the very fact that a patient has to be, legally "experiencing unbearable suffering, with no prospect of improvement, and to have a voluntary, sustained wish to die" is ripe for abuse, as the article makes clear has already happened.

A euthanasia proponent said, "Whether things are clear for doctors is a difficult question, as unbearable suffering is different from one person to another."
