> But if we were operating, say, a Mars rover, and shutting down meant we would never be able to boot again, then it'd be better take kernel A and attempt to recover from whatever state we find ourselves in. That's pretty exotic, however.

That you view it as exotic is partly a lack of imagination on your part; with a little more effort it's possible to identify similar use cases that are much closer to home than Mars.

But that doesn't really matter. What matters is that the Linux kernel needs to support both options, because it's just one component in a larger system and that context outside the kernel is what determines which option is correct for that system.
It was a satirical example of "bullshit" application writing. I personally don't dispute the relevance of diversity (variously operationalized) within human knowledge production institutions.

I do - I think reasonably - dispute the applicability of the outputs of many of our knowledge production institutions to social justice questions. (Just as I don't dispute that there are, conversely many which are).

If we find ourselves in a situation where we can't make a useful distinction between research that is and isn't relavent to social justice, I think we're at risk of our language seeming vaccuous and nonsensical.
I’m sure I’m missing something deeper here: isn’t it tautological that something that is at >50% can’t double again?

Me, I'd press for a law that mines can only be electrically set off using a battery that decays over time. (Or any triggering device that decays away.) This is so after a year or so, past any military value, they'll be inert.
Interesting points, but I don't think it goes deep enough. The rhythms of social media contribute to people's emotions, but they are also a function of people's emotions. There's a ton of parallel evolution in social media because it's seeking the intersection of capitalism's incentives and what people respond to.

I think it also ignores that social media creates opportunity for both emotional stunting and emotional growth. One of the reasons I'm still on Twitter is that it allows me to get perspectives on the world that I would never normally encounter. People all across society, people with very different experiences. Personally, I've grown a lot in the broadness of my empathy through years of frequent encounters with people just talking openly about their lives.

To make that work, though, I need to avoid spiraling down into many of social media's traps, like doomscrolling or pointless argument. Which in turn requires stronger emotional regulation than I had before. So used correctly, I feel like social media is an opportunity to practice the sort of intellectual and emotional skills that lead to good self-regulation.
> reminds me of what we could have achieved if this ingenuity had been applied in another domain

It will; I think the reason we're seeing diffusion models applied to image generation first, is that it's a task that meshes well with the models. But also in general I think people will still be guided by the principle "use the right tool for the job" - this is just another tool. I doubt that the set of paths toward realization for any given needed creative imagery collapses to just "use a model"
"all the "core services" would be walking distance from your home."

Consider the average modern supermarket with 35,000+ SKUs (stock keeping units). Such a store serves several thousand people. It is not possible to have several thousand people living within walking distance of a store unless it is high density housing. But people prefer single family housing on moderately large lots.

Argos Fantasy TCG – A public domain card game similar to Magic the Gathering
Argos Fantasy TCG is a trading card game available in the public domain that is designed to be compatible with the MTG game. All of the cards are based on, and have equivalent abilities, to real MTG cards in the Legacy format. All copyrighted material material from the the original cards has been removed so these cards can be freely redistributed and printed allowing anyone to play regardless of financial ability. Game rules and mechanics are not covered by copyright law so these cards are allowed to have identical functional abilities to the cards they are based on. The art has been replaced with art that was already available in the public domain in the United States (and most other countries), and the description of the abilities has been rewritten (although the function remains the same). For card names such as "Hail of Arrows" that simply consist of dictionary words the name's from the original MTG cards is used since short phrases aren't protected by copyright in the U.S., however, when the card name is a based on a name of a potentially copyrighted character in the MTG universe like "Serra Angel" then the name is changed to a generic name like "Attacking Angel" even though the function is maintained.

All cards created using the open source image editing software GIMP, contributions welcome!

Can you elaborate on this? Because failing storage is a common occurrence that usually does not warrant immediately crashing the whole OS, unless it's the root filesystem that becomes inaccessible.
Only if you want a battery that will die fast. Nissan made an insane decision early on to not heat or cool their batteries, and also not go with a battery chemistry that is resistant to degradation in the heat.

10 years in, all those early LEAFs have been scrapped or needed battery swaps due to like 75%!!! range loss in some cases! Meanwhile, Tesla, while notorious for fit/finish issues, has similar vintage cars that are still on their first battery with less than 20% loss of range.

Yes, the LEAF is "reliable." It reliably goes when you step on the accelerator, and everything else is reliable as well, except for the drivetrain, which reliably loses range to the point where the car is totaled because Nissan raised battery prices just as a tidal wave of vehicles needed them.

There's a reason Tesla is outselling every other EV in North America. Part of it is that they are able to source materials, but they are the only ones with a "good enough" mix of reliability and build quality on everything but the drivetrain, a bulletproof drivetrain, and a reliable and widespread charging network. Teslas aren't perfect, and there's room for a fast follower company to beat them, especially on fit, finish, convenience, and luxurious cabins, but that would require an Apple like attention to both detail and supply chains.
Not sure how this is a problem with HTTPS, then. It’s like complaining that AES encryption is broken because you have away your keys to a bunch of people.
> Should tool makers get part of the profit made by those tools?

If they invented the tool, they can have a patent.

Individuals are not tools, and I don't see how the tool acquires copyright. Models own the copyright of their likeness, and technically, coders own the copyright to their code, right up until they give it away for wages already compensating their time, using the same coin to pay for two different things of value. Granted, a lot of portions of code are copied, but any novel code written should be copyrightable.

If there was any money to be made in distributing a recorded phone call, then the participants should be compensated out of the total profits.

You can say 'rivalrous' as many times as you want, but none of this explains why an IP asset should suddenly be public domain when someone dies. You didn't answer any of the questions about various scenarios like company ownership or lots of people being involved in something's creation.

I prefer Asciidoc. It's just as capable, but I feel that the syntax is more natural and consistent. IMO, it's also more readable in most aspects, though less readable in certain aspects (although they tend to seem like logical trade offs). For example, tables are less "readable", but are easier to format and manage.

It certainly takes longer to memorize all of the syntax and its features compared to markdown, but I found it a lot easier to do so than reStructuredText.
People love to cite this study as an example of absolute proof of discrimination, but it isn't. There is an obvious rational non-racist explanation for the outcome in question, and it is affirmative action.

A black person, a white person, and an asian person with the exact same credentials mean extremely different things in terms of absolute rather than relative competence level, as a consequence of affirmative action policies. The filters they had to pass through are different, and therefore an Asian person who went to Harvard almost certainly is in the top 1% of the absolute test score distribution, whereas the same is not necessarily true for the others.

Since job performance is correlated with absolute capability, and not group-relative capability, discrimination on the basis of race is rational in a society that employs affirmative action policies at prior points in the credentialism pipeline. Correcting and controlling for this would only be possible by designing resumes that don't reference achievements that have group-relative thresholds.

Is modern life flattened with respect to emotion? Incendiary Twitter
traffic and torrents of "hate speech" everywhere would imply
otherwise. Perhaps the intensity has gone up, but the range and nuance
has shrunk?

Interesting development I saw; Royal Marines started introducing
"emotional intelligence literacy". Unsurprisingly the recruits hated
it and thought it was "politically correct sissy stuff". Upshot was a
measurable decrease in losses and incidents resulting from hot-headed
decision making, poor judgement in the heat of anger etc. Emotional
Intelligence now features highly in selection.

It may be that the highest "EQ" self-exclude from social media.

I don't think generation capacity is much issue. Just waste money on renewables and it will be there. Now matching the demand to that production and forcing people not to use their EV-vehicles in certain periods when there aren't enough production... As clearly they should be last ones to get it in high-demand, low supply scenarios.
I think the quoted excerpt fro
the book hits the big problem. Up into the 1990s, you had a narrow range of well-supported options built in on most platforms, often with bundled hardcopy or online docs, and it was a pain to find or get more options and information on those other options, so where to start was an easy choice.

Now, getting a decent toolchain takes some (usually small, but nonzero) effort, and there is a flood of conflicting information on every decision, including that first step.

Information overload and analysis paralysis bite hard.

(If you can get past that initial hurdle, things are immensely better than any time else in history in most ways, though the trap of getting overwhelmed by info and options is persistent.)
Totally agree about the many issues with streaming services, but I don't see how physical media is the solution. It comes with its own issues, principally waste. Surely a solution to this problem would simply being able to purchase movies for download in a common and lossless format?

> to not throttle under load

Then you need a thicker, not thinner one. More vertical space - more space for the heatsink - more heatsink efficiency.

But the other comment is right, nor SO-DIMM, nor CAMM would share the space with heatsink/fan/blower.

Eg look at this ultraportable [0] inner space. The whole motherboard with CPU, PCI Wi-Fi card, north and south bridge and 4 memory chip takes space of roughly a CD-ROM drive.

If you could see the whole notebook you would see what the whole notebook consists of two parts - one is the ODD, other is mobo. And this is a notebook from 2006. We can do compact notebooks for years, it's not a problem to make small, light, thin notebooks. The only problem is making light and powerful notebooks, but they can't be thin by design, because more power - bigger battery - bigger case both for battery and (usually) for a bigger screen. But in 99% of time you wouldn't notice the difference between 18.6mm and 19.6mm.

For CLIs, Common Lisp is excellent.

I wrote a small program in CL and Rust, and (SB)CL can run faster than Rust EVEN FROM SOURCE! It's just completely mindblowing how fast it starts.

If you don't believe me, write a program that does something like count how many times each letter appears in a text file in CL and Rust, then run them with `time`. I can pretty much guarantee CL runs as fast or faster.

EDIT: my comment is meant for anyone curious about OP's clamis, I am obviously just agreeing with their point about CL's startup speed.

As an aside about GPUs, things have changed a lot over the years. In the early 2000s games were being released that were impossible to run on high settings with current hardware, and your hardware was outdated after 3 months and obsolete after a year.

Today An RX580 (released in 2017) can be had for $100-$200 and is enough to comfortably run any modern game at quite nice settings. It's been a while since I looked as well, it's entirely possible the Ethereum swap is pushing card prices down even lower.

You only need the silly priced cards if you want to do something like play games on maxed out settings in 4k at a locked 120fps.
