I think you'll find that if you talk with technically literate Republicans you'll find a lot of support for net neutrality.

Unfortunately, my party's base is made up of people who are not super into tech unlike the Democratic party whose base is increasingly rich tech workers.

On the other hand, my fellow Republicans do jobs you may think unimportant,like farming, plumbing, construction, etc.

Perhaps, when you think about it, democrat regulations of these professions are equally ridiculous when you look at it from the perspective of someone in these professions.

Half our political discord would be solved if we just thought of ourselves in the other person's shoes and listened instead of chocking it up to stupidity or malice.

Half of my conservative friends have no idea how the internet works. They don't understand the wires behind it. When you explain to them what's going on, they become more sympathetic to net neutrality. Perhaps try explaining instead of dismissing?
really cool! that must have been a lot of work. Here's another great site for references: https://proximacentaurib.notion.site/proximacentaurib/parrot...
Because the original concept of "interstate commerce" was trade disputes among the states.

Wickard that expanded that to include all commerce that may touch another state even indirectly was / is one of the WORST supreme court decision ever and it is eternal dream that the Supreme Court will reverse it and instantly shrink the power of federal government by at least 75%
Yeah. I've never seen this in practice except as premature optimization or solving a problem in code that can be solved easier elsewhere.
what's funny is that most people think of that trial as being about Microsoft "putting IE in the operating system". Which is hilarious, because where else is your core HTTP fetching DLL, your core HTML parsing DLL, etc, going to go otherwise? A Chromebook is basically an operating system running Chrome and more or less nothing else, vindicating Microsoft's technical decision.
_most_ touchy subjects. There is no absolute. For some reason, I cannot handle a person speaking about a woman's appearance in the negative in front of her, and it's because I _think_ I am feeling her pain. I have told people to leave my house immediately for things like that. N-bombs, etc. That makes me a hypocrite, but I'm not strong enough to handle certain topics. I, myself, have accidentally said bigoted things and someone of the relevant marginalized community explains to me why it's hateful to say that, and I am so thankful for their words.
Wouldnt any service that could be used by just manually entering IP addresses be workable? No DNS involved.
No, you don't. AFAIK DRAM chips just sit idle until the memory controller gives them a command and then they perform the command immediately.

I knew it electrifies the ground around the impact site (news of fields with several cows killed simultaneously is a good hint) but I didn't realize even 100 feet away is still unsafe. That's quite a long range when you consider football goal posts are between 20 and 30 feet apart.

Not sure about migratory birds in particular. But being able to survive without food for long periods is clearly a good trait. It has evolved across plants and animals to a lesser or greater degree. That trait can team up with another. For example an animal that can dig can hybernate underground. An animal that can fly can journey to find food or a mate. It may start by flying a short distance across land and slowly build up the distance over successive generations. Then it could learn to follow the coast to find better food. Or develop abilities for navigation. Or an instinct to fly when the days get short and be less distracted by food. Slowly but surely the benefit of flying outweighs the benefit of staying at a food source. The travel gets longer and longer until it is crossing thousands of miles.

If a passport allowed visa-free entry pre-pandemic, this change allows that again. Otherwise you will have to apply for a visa.
Depends on alignment. Is the CISO an engineer, an attorney or a controls person?

I’ve worked with security idiots whose life’s work is monk like transcription of NIST 800-53 publications into local policy. I’ve also worked with a couple who are the smartest engineers that I’ve met.

I think that the ideal security team would be like brakes on a car - they let you go faster. Unfortunately, I’ve never really seen that happen, and the culture of security people is this weird cop-like thing that comes from the Feds.

Basically this.

Students Unions have the absolute right to refuse to platform people (and to oppose their platforming by the institution in which they operate), if those people being given a platform runs contrary to the wishes of the student body the Union represents.

Nobody has a right to anyone else's platform. Making people platform your views is coerced speech.
> I am OK to kill a cockroach

I don't see where our disagreement is then.

> inflict unnecessary suffering on it

I don't believe I've said anything to that effect. Perhaps you're insinuating that based on my dismissing of the well being of roaches. My statement is in the context of this thread, using lasers for pest control. I'm saying it's ridiculous to worry about the well being of roaches in the context of pest control. Besides, I would think lasers result in instant death which is more humane that most pesticides.

> Unkindness to creatures inevitably results in a devaluation of all life, including human life.

I would agree with that to an extent. If you think pest control falls under the category of unkindness, then I would disagree because if you think that, you're valuing roach life more than human life. If that is your value, you have a right to that belief, but I vehemently disagree.
That's amazing. It was around 100 in 2000.
Avoiding homework with code and getting caught
Have you ever read "A Canticle for Leibowitz"? A peripheral bit in the story has a monk develop a mathematical system to determine what word would come next in a manuscript whose edge has been lost. Walter M. Miller, writing that story in 1959, does not portray such a system as having or being perceived to have "actual intelligence", because he can easily imagine that a complex system could appear to work in that way without intelligence.

The goalpost was never in that spot.
Between 2018 and 2020, I wrote a website that cloned the databases of a couple online learning platforms, and used it to skip lots of homework I should have done.

I wrote this at the beginning of the year, but never released it as I was never sure if I was missing details. I realised today there is no point in keeping it hidden, so brushed it up a bit and published it.

Btw, the repo that houses the blog is open source, so feel free to fork or whatever and use it as your own
Great article, but showcasing this tech by demonstrating that you can have half naked pictures and videos of real people without their (top half) consent is not going to go down well.
So only in the vast majority of fields, then.
> It’s funny. They seem to be two kinds of contractors out there.

One way to view it is that they're each targeting (deliberately or unconsciously) a different market-fit, with respect to cheap/good/fast.

For some jobs you might want the advice of the first "compromise this and it'll be cheaper and faster" group.
Yep, Gab is as intolerant as any lefty platform, just at the other end.
Yes, in the US there is quite a bit of precedent for this. See for example common carriers.
There is a monopoly/duopoly on collocation centers? According to the former CEO of AWS, only 5% of all IT spend is on any cloud provider. The other 95% self host.

It amazes me that people on HN of all places is saying that they can’t create anything without a dependency on cloud providers.
I don't think it changes that either, does it?
Remind me again how most of the rest of the industrialized world managed to keep their school open with kids unmasked? I don’t ever recall seeing stacks of dead teachers…

The problem children face today aren’t because of the pandemic. They are entirely the fault of peoples reaction to Covid. Covid didn’t close schools in blue states and then force them to wear masks. Humans did.
I love the ridiculousness of this.

What's faster? The dual-core Cortex M0+ at 133MHz in his "wifi card"? Or the Intel 80486SX at 33MHz in his laptop?
What if the latter speech is exerting a chilling effect, perhaps by design? Anonymous reporting can be gamed or exploited, but it can also be an outlet for those who are scared of speaking openly because they might incur retaliation.
Yep. Nothing particularly mind-blowing about this. It's just a word-by-word translation of code into English. Heck, you don't even need GPT-3 to do this, except for some variety and grammatical correctness.

This is underrating the University of Wisconsin. "Among the 1,070 departments that are ranked top-10 in any field, 248 (23.2%) top-10 slots are occupied by departments at just five universities—UC Berkeley, Harvard, Stanford, University of Wisconsin-Madison and Columbia; fully 252 universities (64%) have zero top-10 departments." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05222-x

Multiplatform development, like compile once and run everywhere. Unfortunately, my understanding is that WASM is still lags behind native compilers in perf.
I don’t see this as some hypocritical indictment. I don’t think free speech organizations should be expected to treat all forms of speech equally and without qualification. Especially when we get to the point of actions, such as anonymously reporting people, being considered speech.

When I think of free speech the context is usually the freedom of discourse and the ability to say controversial things - rather than the demand for total and unrestricted liberty.
> it feels like arab spring again

Hopefully not, because the Arab Spring didn't do much in the long term, just the US & allies profited from it by getting rid of Ghaddafi, while the whole of northern Africa isn't faring much better today than before that flash in the pan.

I just hope this civilian revolution actually tears down the Iranian religious dictatorship for good. And hopefully in my lifetime I can experience seeing the Saudi scumbags getting the boot as well. Wouldn't that be great.
Protection only provided to politicians … I guess some are more equal than others…
Yep. I need to see theirs.
So did Florida and plenty of other non-coastal states. So did most of all industrialized nations. Dunno what makes Covid so special in these blue states that they had to close schools.
In the alternate space time dimension at mine sites, the regulator is MSHA. MSHA said to stay home if sick and follow normal procedures at work. Getting to mines was smooth because the roads were empty. On mine sets was, in my experience, business as usual without masks (masks limit visual range and cause accidents). At one site they had a tent and invited me to the party with employees and families who proceeded to have a pig roast without any social distancing or masks or wash stations. It was glorious. Then i drove back to the big city and went to buy groceries and everyone was masked and shying away from others. Some shoppers were wearing gloves and the aisles had designated travel directions. Bizarre.
Shinkansen all the time must get expensive!

I guess that death along the way is a very strong influence on their evolution. The ones that reproduce are the ones that did make the journey and have adapted to it.

How much is Google Revenue?
I don’t think the intent of this tool is to generate comments which you’d then embed into the code it describes. I think it’s meant to explain, in plain language, what the actual behavior is (for whatever confidence level you might assign to “actual” and “is”).

To your point about the utility of code comments describing the behavior this way, I agree it’s probably much more valuable for beginners. In fact when I’ve mentored early programmers, I sometimes ask them to write out essentially prose like this in comments before writing a single line of executable code.

Now, I’m far from a beginner. I’ve been considered a senior engineer long enough that friends discourage me from disclosing the amount of time, for fear of age discrimination. I can absolutely see the potential of this tool as part of my IDE. I’m on vacation now, but when I return to work I plan to take it for a spin as an aid for refactoring areas of code which clearly work as intended (well, for the most part) but the actual behavior and intent is much less clear.

Here’s why I think it’ll be valuable for refactoring: it can help limit the amount of mental context switching necessary to build a mental model of what the code does. I often find myself trying to produce prose much like this for my own reference, but I end up losing context as fast as I acquire it as I follow references into their respective rabbit holes. Having the tool do that for me can help me stay in a single area of focus. It could also be a useful reference for adding and improving type definitions, maybe even regression tests.

The best part is that it doesn’t, from what I’ve seen, do anything besides populate ephemeral annotations. It doesn’t try to write code or automate anything other than producing a narrative. Like at least one other commenter, I’m skeptical about the reliability of that. But unlike that commenter, I’m willing to take the risk… probably because I’ve learned to be skeptical of my own reliability performing the same task. If my instinct is right that I can use this tool the way I hope, I’ll still scrutinize it for accuracy. But that’s potentially much better than having only one imperfect, meat-based computer doing the work.
Thank God no libertarians made any money!

That being said, I agree with everything else in this article, and I agree that presenting print publications as "for the discerning reader" might be a viable approach.
I don't know that I have much of a need for this and, although I'm hesitant to provide crutches to people especially when they're in the early stages of their learning, this might be helpful for more junior people who are ramping up, especially in a large project. Is there a way to use this or something similar today in PyCharm, etc?
For what it's worth, it's still way cheaper than true SRAM. And the architecture suggested is still way closer to unmanaged DRAM than to PSRAM
Echelon is revolutionary too, Peace Nobel prize worthy.
Make an allocation that’s, say, 100 bytes. You’ll see it go through platform_bzero on the free path.
The tweet and video don’t seem to imply this _should_ be a comment.

I have been “learning to program” for 20+ years and would absolutely find this useful as a quick way to get basic information about a chunk of code I’m unfamiliar with.

Not that learning to read code isn’t important, just not always necessarily worth the time (:
> more Islamic and antiwestern

It's a massive regression from 2002 - 2021, but this is not true. The Taliban has moderated somewhat from 2000 (somewhat), and frankly would be very happy to make tactical deals with the west to help counter ISIS.
The Disney properties were already self-governing. The Florida legislature revoked that in political retaliation, and passed the cost on to nearby counties.
The issue I have here is that a company is restricting access to the financial assets of another entity (which could just as easily be you or me) without any form of judicial oversight.

This is nightmarishly dystopian, since you and only you should have the final say on where your funds are parked and how they are used.

If anyone thinks this is normal or acceptable, they have been badly gaslit by the 1% who continue to leverage their power to parasitize the 99%.
While you're correct that overall system cost is what matters, most functionality is offloaded to the controller because a single controller often controls multiple DRAM chips (Like the chips all share a CA bus[1]) So it's cheaper to put the functionality in the controller.

With that being said, it gets a bit nuanced, because as we make faster and faster DRAMs, we need more complicated input/output electronics (Phy and ECC.) GDDR actually has self refresh as part of the spec and even allows DRAM vendors to put a PLL inside so you can run a half rate clock, which technically makes it "Quadruple Data Rate" instead of "Double Data Rate." But usually with GDDR, you're running one controller per DRAM. Clamshell mode is not super common in my experience.

New Yorker or New York magazine if that's your vibe. N+1 is good. There is some way to get print copies of Nautilus but it was buried pretty deep on the site IIRC. That's what I get.

> Calculus/analysis tests seem quite standard, where's the unusual push?

The tests in standard courses aren't really what's at play. It's about people and the ability to "run into" and work with those people gets people into research networks.

Not all MIT students do that, of course, and it's not an absolute; many people come from less-prestigious schools, but the networking effects stack things against them coming from undergrad and afford them fewer opportunities to "walk into" those circles, depending on the resources their UGs have.
It's an interesting flavor of "No True Scotsman" when you've managed to argue that every resolver on every OS in the world is "stupid stuff that isn't DNSSEC". If DNSSEC only works if you're using a custom fully-recursing resolver, not present on any mainstream operating system or built into a single piece of software you install on your machine, what exactly is the point of signing a zone? So far as you're concerned, nothing is doing DNSSEC validation in the first place.
HDR on PCs have more important issues that lack of Dolby Vision. Well, I guess you can say Dolby Vision indirectly would benefit because it requires minimum 1000 nits brightness for certified displays, while VESA would gladly certify 400 nits peak brightness as HDR capable display.

> Fair point, but consumers keep complaining the PS5 doesn't have DV which is an indicator of what people want. DV is actually a big selling point for the Xbox Series X.

They want it because there are realistically two options right now: HDR10 (not HDR10+) and Dolby Vision. DV being superior in every aspect from viewer perspective. I didn't even know about HDR10+ until today. In other words, what people actually want is HDR dynamic metadata because it looks a lot better than static metadata.

Since, like you said, every streaming service is either DV or static HDR10, it means people say that they want DV.
You’re the one who’s not correct. malloc is more than willing to hand memory back to the OS when feasible, most implementations will unmap the memory or at least mark it as unneeded.
That's the easy part. The hard part is making it simple for anyone to authenticate or verify a file and to get trust and buy-in from people, businesses and governments.

The idea of verifying media has yet to permeate the edges of mainstream thought. People are arbitrarily credulous or dismissive, based mainly on who's sharing the video.
As a post-social media accelerationalist, the utter chaos that would result in social media platforms' inability to combat spam would devolve into the inability to exist at all and should be welcomed. Social media's negative externality is our individual mental health. One of the greatest things we could do for our mental health would be a complete and utter implosion of uncensorable social media. It cannot come soon enough.
> I dont, I want to be held to the standard of my State,

that's not possible for people who do business with people who live in other states. If I make a website in Ohio I'm responsible for following Florida's laws on how I handle data collected from Florida's citizens.

If you never create a business or service that anyone from any other state or country uses you'll never have to worry about compliance with their laws, but most of us want to build things for more than just the people in our immediate surroundings.
If gravity increases for the initial part of going down, wouldn't it take a lot less energy to go up? Once you're up in the stratosphere, you would weigh noticeably less.

This is a strange sentiment to hear about a country that has among the highest GDP per capita and HDI in the world. What countries would you describe as having an abundance of jobs that pay living wages?
It's probably some pretentious kid that think they are special just because they are wasting their parent's money with an iPhone 14 Pro.
