> It is sensible to read other philosophers I guess, but I think people should be encouraged to argue on their own.

With your first part of the sentence you already put your second statement in a nuanced context. But I'd argue that "it is sensible" puts too little weight on this side of the argument.

We've all been there: You're new to a field and climb the Dunning Kruger Graph. At some point you're standing on the first hill and start "argue on [your] own".

Most things have already been said and argued. And most probably so by people more knowledgable and intelligent that me and you. And exactly those arguments are the 'history of philosophy'.

We're probably all better off if we learn to move within this tightly knit web of knowledge and be very cautious and conscious every time we leave those trails and 'go on our own'.

That being said, it is mandatory to view the history of philosophy not as the whole ball park but jump over the fence occasionally. Whether we hurt ourself by doing so is almost certainly dependent on how comfortable we are with what has been said and argued before, eg. history of philosophy.
That's a massive undertaking. We're talking many years and many billions of dollars and puts Apple too deep into manufacturing I'd think. Not to mention I believe there is a massive wait list for ASML machines that I doubt even Apple could get in front of.

So it's just that studying what Aristotle said about (most of) empirical knowledge is useless. It's not terribly productive, I agree, but then again, so is studying what Derrida has said about it. If you want to know about empirical sciences, it's best to study the subject itself.

It's important to point out that this is a natural consequence of a market system, and it's exacerbated by allowing capital to rule those markets.

Until we recognize that, we're not going to be able to fix it. One can't just declare that "If only the market were truly free, it wouldn't be like this." We've seen this play out on the freest market that has ever existed (the early internet) and we ended up in the exact same place - with a few massive players buying up all their competitors and completely dominating their verticals. There was as little regulation or government interference in the early internet as there has ever been in just about any market. And we still got there.

Corporate consolidation is a consequence of free markets, not a corruption of them.

Hey HN friends,

I have created this tool for any Saas that is currently missing Support Docs or wants to manage them all from a single spot.

Support Docs, such as: User Guides, Knowledge Bases, Documentations, and Changelogs.

The project started with me looking into how to create support docs for my other apps and couldn't find one that does it all.

Then found out that user guides and knowledge bases do rank pretty well for bottom-of-the-funnel customers = Subsection was born.

Currently you can only create a User Guide as I'm in the midst of deploying themes for KB, Docs, and Changelogs.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
Yeah, expert disagreement does occur (we can see it in real time on HN itself) and often it boils down to "I don't want to do more work" or "that is better but the cost/benefit isn't there".

But even then it's better than uninformed arm-chair quarterbacking. And for those watching from the sidelines, if you watch long enough, you start to get a "feel" for the various sides.

And the premise that there can be reusability of software in that scale is the flow.

> Most devs are rebuilding identical software stacks to serve a very small different business layer product.

The problem is plainly because we don't recognize that the "Identical Business layer" does not exist. On the surface they seem identical but then each has its own features/prerequisites/peculiarities etc. And you end up with having to fight that "reusable framework" to handle all this because to be reusable it has to stay generic enough and the more generic something is the more useless it is for the concreate problem and more time consuming it is to reuse it.

In the golden era of Web Services the moto was to make reusable software same as electricity is reusable through standards (just plug in your device) forgetting that Electricity is reusable only because it doesn't really do anything. All implementation of the useful work is in the device you plug. And what's more these devices now are forced to work on non efficient standards, Hey I need just 2W of power to work but to interface with the Reusable thing I must waste 5w power to conversion.
Fortunately we still don't have that kind of reusability in Software and hope we will never have to.

If there's anything affecting reproduction rates, it doesn't seem to be permissive sexual norms but rather poor economic and professional conditions that preclude the establishment of a family, in conjunction with the general decrease in fertility when a region passes a certain point of development i.e. a child becomes a financial burden as opposed to an extra pair of hands.
You can say the same about anything. I am guessing you don't use anything that is open source in any capacity and don't buy any proprietary software and libraries in case they are lying and they can't actually distribute them?

Condoms exist. Marital sex also makes unwanted children, I don't see why you declare this a property of "free" sex.

The second paragraph is pseudoscientific bullshit that gets parrotted by conservatives. People have been and will continue to have casual sex, and society is, and will be doing fine.

Your last sentence reveals the real reason you're against casual sex.
I had one, my brother had one, honestly it was shit at everything you expect from a phone.

The only good point about it was that it had a full and integrated keyboard, and a Linux based OS you could use to manage your servers over ssh in extreme cases.

Answering calls on it was a hit or miss, the UI just froze for several seconds from the incredible stress of suddenly starting up the phone app when someone called you.

For very long decades USSR maintained reputation of a reliable supplier of gas and oil. Russia "inherited" this status after the breakup. However, the first gas war against Ukraine in 2009 already showed that the russian political leadership was ready to trade that status over for the geopolitical gains by using gas supply as a tool of war against Ukraine, against Europe.

It worked then to some extent. Sure, why should russia stop? What works should be used again, right?

Here it is, now russia is playing the gas supply card again. However, at this time it is clear that by its hostile and deliberate actions russia further damaged its reliable supplier reputation on the European market.

Does russia want to give up its influence on that market? Of course, not. It again needs a way to maintain the political pressure yet shift the blame for the reputation damage.

Thus, blowing up already non-functioning pipelines serves these purposes. By painting this incident as a mystery, russia will suggest that the supply disruption was beyond its control and not a deliberate choice. Force majeure. Just as it has been making up "technical" reasons for reducing then shuttering the flow via NS-1. Dishonest and obvious, but can still be claimed in court. If anything, the recent arbitrage vs Ukraine's Naftogaz demonstrated such approach in action.

Additionally, now only the Ukrainian pipeline still remains however vulnerable. This allows russia to advance the blackmailing should there be more hardships during the winter.

Whichever the real reasons are, one thing is fully proven is that russia has consistently used the energy supply as weapons and thus cannot be considered as a reliable and trustworthy member of the market. Whichever country to agree to deal with it will have to bear the longterm consequences of any adverse outcomes on its own (Hungary?).

Is the H5 file type that much different than whatever the Pytorch versions are using?

The model is loaded from Huggingface during the instantiation of the stable diffusion class. It is loaded as an H5 file which I believe is unique to Keras[0]. I don't have any experience with Keras so I can't say if that is good or bad. I wanted to see where they were getting the weights as the blog post didn't demonstrate an explicit loading function/call like Pytorch.

Gonna run it and see... although I have like 40GB of stable diffusion weights on my computer now.

The path is still optimal, but the weight of the edges are not speed or distance but a complex utility function that best represents the needs of the business.

If philosophy is useful (which it may not be), then studying the history of philosophy is useful.

This is like saying "Why bother studying Newton? He didn't even know about relativity!" You study Newton because it's a simple model and motivates what comes after.
My point is not that society is bad because people hunger, but rather that we should structure our society such that they don't. Society itself is emergent and has no moral character. It's our leaders and to some extent ourselves that are at fault, at least in democracies.
> for the past ~50 years, theoretical physics has been engaged in a process that is rewarding people creating theories that cannot ever be proven true or false.

This is not true on several levels. First of all, there is a place for studying mathematical abstractions (strings and such) and there is nothing wrong with doing mathematics. Second, theoretical physics rewards theories that can be falsified - there is a huge subarea called "phenomenology" that in engaged in linking theoretical abstractions and experiments. Third, there is no "process" to the contrary and in the last ~50 a number of fundamental new discoveries was performed.

That makes no sense. Are you, like, rejecting collider experiments altogether?

They bought companies that have designed chips for a DECADE, and then that took another decade of experience. And even if Apple went out and bought an old fab or global foundries it will take a decade to build out the capacity with a worsening economic crisis I'm not sure how realistic that is. But sure, it is possible.
> Women oppose legalized sex work at higher rates than men, because they’d be the ones who would encounter social pressure to do sex work in tough economic circumstances if it became normalized.

I don't think that's the only reason; even a few sex providers can distort the (mostly balanced) market for sex.

IOW, if men don't feel the need to date just to get sex then there's fewer men in the market. This means that women have to pay a higher price[1] for the available men, while the available men pay a lower price[2] for any specific woman.

[1] Be nicer, be more willing to engage in sex, etc.

[2] Be less committed, less involved, etc.

IP over DAB (ETSI EN 101 735)
I'm a little confused by part of this article. The author states part of the evidence they used for deciding something was wrong is that a search not restricted to Creative Commons licensed images included many images with open source licenses and some in the public domain. If you restrict your search to Creative Commons licensed images why would you expect images under other open source licenses or in the public domain to be returned?
I agree that it's amusing as a joke made in context with friends over a beer. Not so much where the primary audience is the globe.
Yes, I am agreeing with this position.
It’s still more complicated because you have to amortize costs over several years and then also keep in mind that big players will design their own hardware to avoid the A100 cost and energy. Disks and other devices will also consume power. And you datacenter cooling is now more expensive, etc.

Apple drops plans to boost iPhone production as demand falls
You're conflating "equal" and "equitable". The latter of the two is along the lines of "fair" - a fully nebulous term in this context; its entire raison d'être is to push agenda narratives.

The idea of equitable outcomes is a common law concept used for things like contract breach remedies, which is again something that the great-grand-parent touched up on.

That is, it's an idea used for compensation when one party walks away from a mutual agreement - the logical implication is that mutual agreements are equitable, which is why compensation is needed to re-establish that state upon a breach.

> Most likely middle managers/directors emailing each other.

Pretty much like sovereign nations negotiating treaties.

Which is an apt metaphor, because neither Apple nor TSMC has the ability to force the other to do anything.

So, negotiations become a crawl to find a mutually-acceptable local optimum. Which ends up with both getting things they see as strategic priorities, while compromising on things they care about less.

Most of the dance is around figuring out what the other's strategic priorities actually are, and which concerns are secondary.

Or they have mutually-exclusove strategic priorities, in which case there is no deal.

Similar to what somebody else said, there are some reasons it's amoral outside of the cultural rules, at least generally throughout civilized history.

Many older cultural or religious rules had some root in logic (obviously some didn't). In some cases modern understanding makes those rules unnecessary. For example, cooking was not as consistent, and germ theory was basically unknown, so eating pork and becoming sick meant that pigs were unclean and not to be eaten. Obviously we now know that we can eat pork if it's properly cooked.

It's debatable as to the status of many sex rules. Things like diseases can become resistant to treatment, evolve to be more problematic (or create a new problem altogether), etc. Condoms generally protect against most but not all. Then there's the reproduction issue, which pulls in a host of other issues such as who's paying for the kid, abortion, etc. Some of this is covered by contraceptives, but not fully. And perhaps the one not talked about, is how it can influence people similar to gambling or substances. This is also up for public debate on how rules should apply to these things.
You think it's possible apple builds a new fab (they have none) and immediately jumps to better than TSMC 5nm?
Exactly. Backpage took crypto for instance but ultimately if you are convicted of a crime and the government gives you a forfeiture order then it is a crime not to comply. Which is what they did to the tune of millions of dollars.
reporting that up to 99.23% of people voted in favour of joining Russia

I can't understand why they wouldn't even pretend to a believable result. Of course everybody knows that this was not a real referendum, but having gone to the trouble of pretending to have it, why not carry on with a number that was at least faintly plausible?

I caught a BBC program at one point asking the same question about why dictators hold fake elections with 99%+ favorability. The answer seemed to be about projecting power and stoking their egos, but I'm not sure that really explains anything.

Obviously Russia does not care whether the rest of the world accepts these results. It must be internally directed, where it just reinforces what people already think. I'm sure it's rejected by Putin's opponents. But for those who were on his side... do they really not think the number seems suspicious? Or is there some completely unrelated psychology that I'm missing?

It would take over a decade to break even (ignoring maintenance costs or any sort of cost overrun) and the world has been moving away from fossil fuels so it'd break even at a time when nobody wants it.
