On one embedded projected we had a separate debug chip could safely shutdown what might be dangerous circuits in the case of controller failure. The source code for that was much much much smaller than the controller and heavily vetted by mulitiple people. The small dedicated would initiate circuit shutdown on panic from the linux kernel on the controller. My point being is it's hard to know what happens after a panic, and logging and such is nice, but that may or may not be available, but being able to do some action as simple as sending a "panic" signal to a second dedicated processor to shut down critical systems in a controlled manner is nice. "Stop the world" can be very dangerous in some situations. There were even more independent backup failsafes on the potentially dangerous circuits as well, but redundancy is even more insurance something bad won't happen.

> Some famines are caused by misguided collectivization / socialism enforced by the state

This looks deliberate, not misguided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor#Causes

regions with higher Ukrainian population shares were struck harder with centrally planned policies corresponding to famine, and Ukrainian populated areas were given lower amounts of tractors which were correlated to a reduction in famine mortality, ultimately concluding that 92% of famine deaths in Ukraine alone along with 77% of famine deaths in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus combined can be explained by systematic bias against Ukrainians

[..]

Under the collectivism policy, for example, farmers were not only deprived of their properties but a large swath of these were also exiled in Siberia with no means of survival. Those who were left behind and attempted to escape the zones of famine were ordered to be shot.

> If you’re going to teach things, you need to find patterns and try to discern the root causes. Otherwise you’re just imparting biased propaganda to students.

This implies that history currently is taught so as to find patterns and causes, and that teaching the Holodomor for some reason wouldn't entail patterns and causes. It is a fully general answer that could excuse any event from being taught. A non-answer.

And to answer your question, yes, I knew about all of them.
Indian immigrant here who’s also not religious nor Christian. I don’t want either of them to be in schools or academia. DEI is a religion nowadays.
I personally find a lot of this DEI stuff repulsive and even racist. It seems like soft bigotry of low expectations. Also, forced inorganic ideology (in this case DEI) makes people develop disdain for the very groups who are supposed to be included while keeping it hidden. It creates a toxic environment.
It also makes me, a minority, wonder if I got an opportunity because of my skin color or because of my qualification.
Also, we live in a world of interracial marriages and families. Such DEI policies create friction in such families where the minority family member may get some opportunity while the non minority family member gets their opportunity taken away.
Also, DEI policies simply don’t make logical sense to me. Indians, Asians and Nigerian immigrants are excelling in high paying jobs. Tons of tech CEOs are Indians. It doesn’t make logical sense to push for it even more.

That's an interesting theoretical attack that I hadn't considered, thank you for sharing it.

I think a possible rule to defend against it would be to mandate that any political party needs to have received at least 5% of the popular vote in that local region in the previous local elections in order to be eligible to stand candidates for the national congress/parliament.

If a candidate wants to stand without the backing of any political party, they would need to receive at least 20% of the (first round) votes in their district in order to win (without needing to stand in the local elections first).

Forcing candidates to publish their vote assignments at registration time might be the way to go, though, as it would help to expose these straw candidates, and also mean that the candidates wouldn't have to be present when the voting result is announced.

To avoid embarrassment, candidates could place a "null" option in their lists, meaning "If I am eliminated, then discard all the votes I received (including the votes assigned to me from earlier-eliminated candidates) and let the remaining candidates win or lose based on the remaining votes".
> Maybe if they gave it 150%, they could see Norvig's reasoning. It may take more than that, though -- maybe exponentially more.

I hope you'll permit me explicitly to single out your mocking invocation of my bête noire. I think that most non-technical authors just confuse 'exponential' with 'super-linear' (if they think even that quantitatively) … but I sometimes worry that even the somewhat more technically minded think that 'exponential' just means 'has an exponent', and so think that quadratic growth is exponential, y'know, because there's an exponent of 2.

1. I don't have to remember which implicitly anchors to the start of the string and which doesn't. 2. I prefer the explicitness of '^' (maybe that's just another way of stating (1). 3. I can use re.M to modify '^' to match at the start of each line on multiline strings, whereas match will still keep searching from the front. 4. The asymmetry of anchoring the front but not the end is weird. Python now has fullmatch, but ugh, just use the pattern for that if you need it. 5. Off the top of my head, I can't think of another language that has a regex function that implicitly anchors the front.
Rather I think there’s a distinction between line oriented and screen oriented. I don’t think screen oriented programs tend to honor the line mode meh bindings. When you press control-d in top do you expect it to close the terminal?

If you use a bad summation algorithm, 12/13 + 7/9 = (12+7)/(13+9) = 19/22, so 19 will be probably a common answer.

> In the kernel, "panic and stop" is not an option

That's simply not true. It's an option I've seen exercised many times, even in default configurations. Furthermore, for some domains - e.g. storage - it's the only sane option. Continuing when the world is clearly crazy risks losing or corrupting data, and that's far worse than a crash. No, it's not weird to think all types of computation are ephemeral or less important than preserving the integrity of data. Especially in a distributed context, where this machine might be one of thousands which can cover for a transient loss of one component but letting it continue to run puts everything at risk, rebooting is clearly the better option. A system that can't survive such a reboot is broken. See also: Erlang OTP, Recovery Oriented Computing @ Berkeley.

Linus is right overall, but that particular argument is a very bad one. There are systems where "panic and stop" is not an option and there are systems where it's the only option.

In the US, we don't have an FPTP system in practice. We have a duopoly of the two major parties, that nominate candidates through a combination of voter preferences and donor/establishment preferences (controlling funding and ballot access). The nomination process tends "electable" candidates, who could also be called insufficiently hated.
But only the menus are translated to a sign language (I don't know which one). The actual content of the site is not. So the question of how is this useful remains.
We are fully aware that it raises concerns. Trust me it hurts my feelings as well. E.g. on the websites (dvc.org, cml.dev, etc) - we don't use any cookies, GA, etc.

We've tried to make it as open as possible - code is available (its open source), we write openly about this at the very start, we have a policy online, made it easy to opt-out. If you have other ideas how to make it even more friendly, more visible, etc - let us know please.

Still, we've preferred so far to keep it opt-out since it's crucial for us to see major product trends (which features are being used more, product growth MoM etc). Opt-in at this stage realistically won't give us this information.
I don’t care to get in some debate at all, but first you’d have to offer up a very precise question and not some general smear campaign. If it’s some of the sentences you’re arguing with upthread, I might agree with you.
> I don't think it's a regulation bug to require a study to approve a drug for a certain use.

That's actually not how it works.

When a drug is FDA approved for a certain use, doctors are free to prescribe it for anything the think it's useful for. This is called "off label" use, and is ~20% of prescriptions in the US. This "loophole" cures a lot of people!

And there are some clinics who do use regular Ketamine for depression. The main problem for them is that insurance will not cover this usage.

> The bug is that we don't incentivize funding expensive studies to discover unpatentable (i.e. cheap) treatments.

This I agree with. Though I'd expect some philanthropic billionaire to get to that long before any governments would.
I work in the Erlang VM, and we always say stuff like "whether your output to IO hits first ot the logger line outputs to IO first is a race condition". Neither is substantively wrong, and you could definitely say "it's a race!", grab some popcorn, and watch the electrons do their thing.
It's about the odds here. Nothing is 100% safe. Independent systems almost always provide backup safety incase the OS/embedded system fails. Thing like overcurrent detector, brown out detectors, speed governors, etc in case code does something as a result of running corrupted (or something similarly awful)
This is a huge thing for me too. I got super burnt out because I care too much.

Please, explain what Hyperloop has accomplished then. Its been 9 years since Musk proposed it in 2013.

You're latching onto a single phrase of my post and ignoring the problem here. Elon Musk proposes many things, some of which are harmful, in the hopes to gather investor money.

My point, is that investors (ie: shareholders) need to think about what to fund, or not to fund. Engineers who apply to his company, need to think about which teams to support and which teams to ignore.

I don't think that this Tesla Robot thing / Optimus has any hope of accomplishing anything useful. Disney / Boston Dynamics / Honda / etc. etc. have gotten far further with robot technology if anyone actually wants to join a competent team.

If Hyperloop isn't weirdly bad enough for you, then Elon Musk's random obsession with Bitcoin and Dogecoin was also quite harmful.

WASM is often pitched as a potential alternative to docker and other OCI compatible alternatives. It does not have to be a go-compiled-to-wasm, it could be python compiled to WASM, or rust for that matter. Either ways, you could use any function runners like these, Wasmer [1] or any webassembly runtime to run them on a host.

Structural die-casting has been a trend in the automotive industry, having started before the Gigapress. One article on this, from 2018, is https://www.spotlightmetal.com/opportunities-for-die-casting... and in that you see an analysis of the economic benefits, even though it's an article for public consumption.

The article itself, back in 2018, mentions cars already using structural die-casting and basically forecasts structural die-casting becoming a more typical manufacturing method.

> 64 packets transmitted, 64 received, 0% packet loss, time 156ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.293/6.699/63.116/7.364 ms

So if a video frame consists of 64 packets, the whole frame will be delayed by 63.1ms.

Yes there are ways around this (FEC), but getting 1ms 99%ile latency over wifi IRL is nontrivial.

Btw fat-client PCs have much smaller latency spikes, but even those spikes are noticable and make games feel jittery. That's why we compare GPUs based on "1% lows" instead of average FPS. Also see frame pacing.
WASM on server-side main benefits are: easy sandboxing, being polyglot, hot-reload.

Upscaling is useful if for whatever reason you need a target framerate that your GPU can't sustain at your desired resolution. I.e. roughly, you reduce target resolution which allows GPU to render more frames in the same time period, then you upscale the result to counteract that resolution reduction. That way you trade image quality for higher framerate.

In the network case (i.e. "streaming"), you are limited by the bandwidth and latency of the network itself. I.e. you will sooner bottleneck by the network than by GPU being unable to render frames faster than that. So upscaling is just pointless for it.
That's where linters and code reviews come in, you will never 100% prevent stupid coding, that's where review either automated and/or other coders and coding standards come in.
