As you concede we shouldn't take away too many lessons from the Hadza unless we too hunt for our food with hand-made bows and arrows and forage for edible plants. Takes lots of calories to do that, calories which don't lie around waiting to be turned into fat. A point you make about other very active people. No ill effect due to diet? Not sure about that given their life span though of course causes of death may be entirely unrelated to diet especially with their tough life style. We should also remember our very varied genetic inheritance as illustrated in stories of the 'my grandfather smoked like a chimney and died at 93' genre. True in my case but it's a risky bet to assume you've got the same genes.

> As we see from Japan and other countries, wearing a mask can keep much of the goo that comes from sneezing and coughing policed. It’s not perfect but it protects others and thus it’s polite. It’s also a reminder to not touch one’s face quite so readily.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a mistake or if there's a deep hint of an equivalence between masks and (lack of?) transparency; and between goo and salaries.
> Are they?

They are actually. It's a kind of revelation when you realise this statement is true. There are people in AI who have thought long about the problem of intelligence and had this realisation. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boiW5qhrGH4 Then there is the interview with Hutter himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1AxVXt2Gv4

You can even semi-formally derive this from Bayes' rule. Let's consider intelligence to be the ability to predict future data from past data. This requires building a model for the past data that can make predictions. So intelligence produces the most likely model M given data D:

argmax_M P(M|D)

which from Bayes' rule is:

argmax_M P(M|D) = P(D|M)*P(M)/P(D)

You convert probabilities to information by taking the negative log:

argmin_M -log(P(M|D)) = -log(P(D|M)) + -log(P(M))

We lost -log(P(D)) because we consider D constant so it can't influence the minimum. You can read the above informally as: The most likely model (the most general model) that can make predictions from data D is that where the (encoding of the model with the least information) plus (the encoding of the data using the model) is minimal. This is essentially a statement about compression. I'm sure an AI person could do this better. This is also known as:

The health problems of the early farmers are not surprising because they lacked the modern knowledge about nutrients, e.g. that cereals do not have enough lysine, legumes do not have enough methionine, both of them do not contain adequate quantities of some vitamins and minerals, and so on.

So the first farmers probably had very unbalanced diets in comparison with their ancestors, or with the much later farmers.

Even if during a relatively short time of maybe a few centuries at most, the cultivation of at least 6 different plant species has begun (3 cereals, 2 legumes and flax), it is likely that in the beginning there was no group of humans who cultivated all of them. It is more likely that each group has started to cultivate just one crop, but later they exchanged experiences and the crops whose cultivation was successful spread all over the area.

It is likely that many years or even centuries were necessary until the early farmers developed an empirical knowledge about how to cook and mix multiple cultivated plants to make a healthy diet, including details like that the legumes must be soaked for some time and washed before cooking, for reducing the amount of phytic acid and other harmful substances, and so on.

There are many writers who have only one great book, and the others are all flops. Dosteovsky had a few that were utter flops in the literary sense. (The Idiot did not sell well, although it has its merits). You could even say he only hit his stride when he wrote Brothers.

John Kennedy Toole's "Confederacy of Dunces" was not only brilliantly comedic, but also quit profound. His other works were nothing special.

This argument never flies with rule-enforcers. I don't know why people keep trying it. You hear it a lot as well about Apple's AppStore reviewing: "Why did you reject my App A when my competitor's App B which does the same thing was approved?" Having worked with AppStore approval, bringing up other apps to compare to never helps. The same is true for forum content moderation, copyright strikes, social media moderation, and so on. The response will always be "I am looking at your content, not that other content." It never makes sense to reach for the "inconsistency" argument. It will always fall on deaf ears.

It's like arguing with the cop who pulled you over for speeding by saying "but look at all the other cars that are speeding even faster!" No cop in the history of copping has ever been swayed by that argument.

Just a minor nitpick: Vulkan might have Mantle DNA but it severely limited some of the original functionality (no pointers in resource binding). Funnily enough the closest API that matches what Mantle could do is Apples Metal.
Thanks Matt. I shall need to do more testing.

The right answer is probably use atomics but that has a performance cost.

I am still trying to find out if atomics suffer from contendedness.

My perfect scenario is the atomic increment should be as cheap as the non atomic increment.

But I think the bus pausing and cache coherence protocols mean that the data is flushed from the store buffer to the memory, which is slow. I don't know if it acts as a lock and has an uncontended option

I'm curious how much is attributable to the hardware, how much is the software, and how much is simply the fact that no human ever touches it. In a previous life I worked at a CNC machining shop and we had an RS/6000. Everything you say about the AS/400 was also true about the RS/6000. It ran AIX and nobody ever had to think about it because it always worked. But AIX is vastly cheaper than IBM i, and they run on the same hardware now. I think it's worthwhile to examine whether IBM i is actually providing the stability or if it was the hardware + no human touching it the whole time.

There's already a micro version of this happening in NYC the last 18 months.

Residential neighborhoods that are normally dead on weekdays daytime are suddenly filled with people while midtown/fidi office areas are significantly quieter. There's already been impact to relative apartment rents, especially with younger people who are picking neighborhoods based less on commute time and more on lifestyle.

I can imagine a lot of NYC commuter suburbs will see similar effect.

People I know in tech in NYC with high paying jobs have moved deeper into suburbs, banking on being WFH more than in-office.

In before-times, fully in-office, workers were commuting 60+% of the 365 days of year (after removing weekends/holidays/vacations/sick days)

Even in a median 2-3 days in-office case, people could be commuting as few as 20% of days of year.

Spending 90min/way on the train but only 20-25% of calendar days starts to feel manageable if you were previously doing 60% of your days on the train for 60min/way.

I don't really care what Windows people do with their Ctrl keys.

But using Ctrl-C for copy in a terminal environment (from TOPS-20 to Linux and macOS, and whatever MSFT calls its captive Linux env) is wrong.

It is wrong because Ctrl-C already performs another critical (more important) system function. It can't do both, and forking (knifing?) up the UI to have it do different things is a mistake.

This seems like a far better idea than the segregated bike lanes with stuff in the middle (parking etc), because you can actually see any potential intersection contentions from afar. I'm still unclear how the former is ever a good idea, unless you have traffic signals on every intersection.
A state is a (mathematical) function from events to the next state. There is a set of events that can potentially occur, and the function tells you what the next state will be given that event. That’s the mathematical definition of a state machine. You can reverse-engineer what states a system can be in by considering what those possible functions are.

For example, consider a state A of some object in your game. For event E (say, the player presses some specific button), the object may transition to state B. For a different event F (say, the object collides with a particular type of other object), it may transition to state C. For yet another event G, the object may remain in state A. Thus the function corresponding to A is { E -> B, F -> C, G -> A } (assuming that E, F, G are the only possible events).

Now, you’re saying that the object can be within the transition from (say) A to B. The question is, if one of the possible events occurs during that transition, what does the corresponding function look like? For example, if event F occurs, does the object still continue to go to B, or does it maybe now go to C, or to yet another state? You can write down the corresponding function. If that function is the same as the A function, then that means that the object is actually still in state A. If the function is the B function, then it means the object is actually already in state B. If the function is different from both the A and the B function, then it means the object is actually in a third separate state.

Note that an event can also be “the transition animation has finished playing”.

The point is, using that functional definition of states (which is the usual definition of state machines or FSAs), for any system with non-atomic transitions there is an equivalent state machine with atomic transitions, and that latter one is what is normally understood to constitute a proper state machine.

> This type of "magic" bullshit really irritates me.

Microsoft seems to have tried to get rid of outmoded notions such as directories, without ever articulating what new model they favoured. So you get these privileged spaces (I have no better word) like "Documents". They've tried to make Explorer as invisible as possible.

But they never finished the job! So you end up with a mess of "AppData" (apparently a normal directory) and "Application Data" (not accessible). I presume the first is an alias for the second; but the second should be invisible if it's not accessible (there are other directories like this).

This started with Win7. Then they stopped abruptly, but never reverted these aborted changes. It's as if there's nobody in charge. My guess is that forcing Microsoft accounts, "instrumentation", and failed attempts to hegemonize mobile were prioritized over fixing what they'd broken.

NT4 was a reasonable OS, with a rotten commandline. Nothing they've shipped since has come close.

I would almost view Proton as a risk factor for Vulkan as it discourages the devs to use cross-platform approaches. Much easier to write only for Windows and let Proton folks to figure out the compatibility problems. This also results in Vulkan losing initiative and being forced to closely follow DX. I’m a bit worried that the way things are Vulkan is going to become “that API libraries use to emulate DX12 on Linux”…

> Lack of predictability can be a feature, at least according to Hans Monderman, famous Dutch traffic engineer. He believed drivers become more alert and cautious when there’s more uncertainty on the road.

I think lack of certainty and lack of predictability are very different concepts, and you want the former but not the latter.

Lack of certainty means you don’t know what’s going to happen because you have blind corners or obstacles (e.g. trees, planters), this requires paying attention and leads to slowdowns because the driver is not confident.

Lack of predictability is its brain-damaged cousin, it’s a drunk driver or a dump truck with an open gate.

Like most things, these diets are usually adopted because they make you feel good, on accident. Carnivore is great if you have allergies to food you’re unaware of. Keto generally works by making you eat less food. Paleo helps you cut out garbage. All of these things are good for some people, none of them are good for the narrative they sell.
I'm not understanding why Apple silicon being compared to this? Are you just wanting an ARM machine?

I need to make ARM builds of several projects I maintain and the pi gets the job done well (especially when headless so the burden of graphical environment isn't there), but does struggle for normal use, especially as tabs tend to proliferate for me. However, the Pinebook Pro works pretty good for me, and is also ARM.
> What I've noticed is that Russian authors are disproportionately mentioned among anglos, and Dostoevsky is himself disproportionately mentioned among those authors.

On the Internet perhaps, but 19th Russian literature had and still has a literary impact in formerly Communist countries, India, and Japan. Maybe a certain kind of American is prone to over-stating Dostoyevsky's importance, but personally I would argue Tolstoy is more disproportionately mentioned.

> My hypothesis is that it's not just the orientalist appeal of the "Russian soul" you mentioned but its combination with Christian themes which means it is still familiar and easy to understand for Westerners. A bit like the equivalent of a rockstar: titillating but not deeply challenging.

Oddly enough, what appealed to me was the discussion of morality without the overt Christian proselytization. No hackneyed metaphor for Jesus or salvation. Just man, his actions in the real world, and how he and the audience must examine them.

If there is any "orientalist" familiarity to these works that I enjoy, it's how self-examination is presented as a knight's/bogatyr's quest rather than a self-pitying confession of weakness and sin.

There's really no "studios" anymore. There's "platforms", which own content libraries and commission new media. They are all giant corporations.

And of course the media they commission is KPI'd into oblivion by hordes of middle management, and done by committee rather than singular creative genius.

So I think that ship has sailed. If people want to watch original content, they're better off finding some niche art house content, maybe of European origin, that seems to be more popular there.
> Mathematics alone is sort of "sterile" when is not used within physics knowledge.

Oh no, mathematics is many things. For me - a mathematician - it started with Galois' proof about the nonsolvability of polynomial equations with degree >= 5. No physics is required for this way of thinking about symmetries. Same with number theory, primes and indefinitely more things. Many gained applications to physical problems later, many not. The latter is not a sign that something is missing.
Except today many english majors don't read enough of the classics.
Unfortunately, unless this changed too recently for me to know about it, that feature is default off and labelled "Experimental" or something.
