Advertisers force us to eat shite, that's the business model. Microtargetting means (relatively) micro budgets are all that's needed to reach particular audiences. In practice, it's all about finding the cheapest way to amplify, that's the business model of particular strains of politics.

Memes meant something before the internet, and rapid distribution on so called social media means well engineered strains will spread fast and far on small budgets; mostly others' energy.

There is nothing good about this. There are no upsides to some free speech being able to drown out other free speech. I wish people would read a tiny bit of literature on the subject and stop spreading that incorrect and harmful meme.

It's the explicit job of prosecutors to get guilty verdicts regardless of the defendant's guilt. This is the core of the US's adversarial justice system. (In the same way it is the defense attorney's job to get a not guilty ruling.)

I think this should be changed, so that false convictions are treated with the same level of seriousness as police officers shooting unarmed civilians on camera.

Patterns of prosecutorial misconduct should lead to prison time that is the sum of the false convictions, in the worst environment the falsely convicted parties ended up in. (So, probably not the country club minimal security white collar prison.)

Also, the people in charge of this should be untouchable by the currently elected politicians they would likely be investigating. Fixed-term appointments with mandatory recusal rules probably make sense.
I think it’s clear that influence through trade, or what the Germans called Wandel durch Handel, is an abject failure and doesn’t work.

Quite the contrary, people vastly underestimate the cost of battery storage and neglect the fact that it's cost is increasing as input materials become more scarce. Actual real-world cost of deployment is mugh higher than estimates [1] frequently exceeding $500/kWh. Estimates often exclude the cost of installation, maintenance, transformers to handle voltage conversion, etc. This is how $130/KWh battery costs turn into over $500/KWh of real world cost.

Furthermore, the existing global production figures are somewhere around 400GWh per year. The world uses 60 TWh of electricity per day. Even just one day's worth of storage would mean dedicating 100% of battery production to grid storage for over a century. Actually attempting to providing a significant amount of battery storage would spike the cost of batteries as demand exceeds supply.

The input materials for batteries have seen skyrocketing costs in the last couple years [2], and only 24% of battery cost is manufacturing. The rest is input materials. It is very dubious that batter production can keep up with the massive scale required by grid storage.

Batteries can (and are) being deployed. But not at a scale that makes any difference, and it's unlikely they ever will be.

andreas, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for sharing your story of recovery. you have unimaginable courage.
I love exercises like this because it sometimes forces me to reformulate ideas I've had abstractly until I'm happy with them.

1. Don't assign to categories that which can be described through traits. Do not put things into "buckets" when it is possible to describe them by a collection of properties that they can have to varying magnitudes. The real world is a messy place, far too messy for buckets, and the more you can do this, the more flexible your mindset will be for what it throws your way.

2. All judgements are based on values, but others' judgements only matter to the extent (read "extent" as one of the varying-magnitude properties above) that they share your own values. You can't and won't please everyone, don't accept their attempts to shame or guilt you when you're living your values, their values are not more correct than yours.

3. Imagine a better version of yourself. More reasonable, more empathetic, more charismatic, more articulate, more expressive, a better negotiator, less impulsive, less abrasive, less arrogant, less cruel, etc. You choose what the better you is like according to your values, but these are some of mine. Strive to be this version of yourself whenever you can. Be on the lookout for cases where you are less successful than you expected, see where a better you could have succeeded, and take it as a lesson that moves you toward being that better person. And definitely don't fall for letting "be yourself" be an excuse to not be your better self.

4. Hold all knowledge as tentative. The difference between harmful dogmas and "absolute" knowledge is one that your subjective experience of that "knowledge" cannot differentiate. Before I realized this, I was extremely self-limiting and occasionally self-sabotaging.
When consultants suggest a "new" fad, they're all about charging money to help businesses adopt that fad to avoid FOMO. Predictably, there will be a new fad next year and the year after that. Waterfall: elevator control systems, agile: expense reports UI, and apply a blend to things in between.

That's already the case in the northern parts of Germany. On windy days feeding excessive electricity to all neighbors, and still shutting down some wind turbines. The local energy company is planning 320 MW hydrogen production [0].

How much would Boeing pay to reduce the weight of an airplane by 1%? How much would Ferrari pay to make their F1 cars 1% faster? How much would car companies pay to be able to make 1% more fuel efficient cars? How much would your electric bill save if rates were reduced 1%?

1% is a lot of leverage. One reason I got paid well when I worked in industry is because I could write code that ran faster. Shaving 1% off execution speed is a big deal.

"Low cost" here includes all GPUs hosted on ATX type expansion boards, intended for price sensitive markets. "Extremely reliable server hardware" (N+1 GPU and better) doesn't use this design.

Here is a much better explanation of PCA: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/2691/making-sense-...

The key insight that many are missing is that PCA solves a series of optimization problems, namely that reconstructing the data from the first k PCs gives the best k-dimensional approximation in terms of the squared error. Even more, this is equivalent to assuming that the data lives in a k-dimensional subspace and becomes truly high-dimensional because of normally distributed noise that spills into every direction (dimension).

Left and right are useless categories, trying to compare them is moot.
My comment would remain the same - there is extremist media on both sides.
It’s kind of crazy that so many people have read this thesis, but it’s really good. I came across it independently a few years ago when I was trying to understand some stuff, but ended up saving it as a reference because I liked it so much.
> The time needed to verify that the result is exactly what I expected can take 15-20 mins.

If the verification isn't automated, you're not running automated tests. So I'd add the 15-20 minutes extra to the test runtime.
> The operating system does almost nothing for us to help write fast, correct programs in a reasonable amount of time.

Um, when the PC computers switched from real mode to protected mode operating systems, that was an enormous boost to programming. It's hard to understate it.
I'm not on Twitter and yet I'm probably aware of far-right commentary on the platform. I can't say I'm aware of any "far left extremists" as you call them.
Who are the "far left extremists" that you mention? Isn't there more attention to far-right Twitter accounts due to the increase in violence taking place in the name of far-right politics?

Linux raid does that already. You can also add disks to grow an array or change it from raid5 to raid6. The gradual phase-in is what's missing. It makes sense as having what is effectively a raid0 of a 4 drive raid6 and a 6 drive raid6 in the example is a more complex configuration with uneven performance across the array. But for a home NAS meeting the reliability with maximum space ends up being all that counts.
Yeah, fuck, Stonewall was instigated by trans women, lesbians, and eventually gay men fighting back against oppression together. The Ball scene has always had a trans component.

Andreas will eventually most definitely get a salary closer to what he could get elsewhere and in the meantime he doesn't have to compromise on his mental health by working for a company that forces him to write bad software on purpose.

It's a pretty sweet deal, and it's a shame only few of us have a chance to experience this.
I just wanted to clear a few points up. This person is not just a friend they are family. I have known them since they were born while I was a child. We grew up together and have always been very close.

He and his wife are childhood sweet hearts, they have been together since they were teenagers. I have known his wife since they first started dating so more than 15 years now. His wife and I are not "gossiping" about him behind his back as you put it. We are concerned for him and worry he is fixating on one possible problem while dismissing outright every other possibility.

One thing I would like to clarify a bit is when you say "forever put the thing he loves out of his reach", this is not true. While he may never play the guitar quite as well as he used to he can still play, far better than anyone else I know personally. When I said life long damage to his dominant hand I was referring more to visual scars than anything else. He did struggle for about a year but he is perfectly able to play the guitar and use his hand much as before. Perhaps not quite as good as before but it is not like he lost his hand or it was horrifically damaged to the point it is useless.

Unfortunately I am unable to edit my previous comment. When I wrote "unable to do many of their hobbies from the physical injury (unable to play video games, the guitar, drums, etc)" I meant they were unable to do those hobbies at the time (i.e. in the 6-12 months post injury) due to them being in recovery not that they were permanently unable to do those hobbies for the rest of their life.

>Be your friend's friend instead of whatever you're doing now.

We are all trying to be there for them. Me, his brother, his wife, his parents. We're all worried about him and while I may come across as being judgemental I promise you that is not the case.

FWIW, Elon tweeted this today:

> To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1586149451348910081

So it's not clear why these supposedly banned groups are now supposedly able to rejoin without consequence?

I suppose "not changing the policies" isn't synonymous with "continuing to enforce the stated policies".
It's incredible how common the "it's just words" refrain is on HN. Wars happen over words. Marriages and divorces too.

> Jason Donenfeld has, to this day, never answered direct and simple questions about WHY he felt so strongly that NetBSD's wg implementation should be removed from NetBSD.

gets answered by Jason:

> In its current form, there are implementation flaws and violations
that I do not consider acceptable, and deploying this kind of thing is
highly irresponsible and harmful to your users. Rather than playing
never ending whack-a-mole misery with this -- which is not a path I'm
willing to go down here -- I'd like to re-examine how this is built
from the ground-up and do some serious code study.

(This response of his is corroborated by the article https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/buffer-overruns-lice... which someone else posted further down.)

He also mentions that he's not against having a WireGuard implementation included in NetBSD in general.
I actually added a whole procedural generation system integrating LiveScript and p5.js into my NFT generator with little tabs that open right next to the place where the trait images are uploaded. Each trait has their own code for trait definition, pre draw and post draw. They can reference other layers easily. As far as I know, no one except me has ever used it. https://algonfts.art

If I ever have time I might make something similar but more along the lines of Unreal Engine Blueprints or Houdini.

I think the next interesting developments for user interfaces will involve AR/VR and AI. For example, you could visualize a large retro computer game collection with a 300 foot bookshelf if you wanted. Or suppose that some components had haptic interfaces and could literally snap together if you were using controller or haptic gloves.

Or maybe a debugger could show each step of a program state as a separate offset 3d layer and you could just lean forward slightly to peek at a previous step.

Maybe command menus could be navigated with slight gestures and finger arrangements.

A good haptic glove and AR display could provide a highly customized keyboard and set of buttons specific to each application if desired.
"People hold views that other beings should be enslaved or exterminated, so what?"

The kind of sentiment you're expressing often comes from people who are either ignorant of fascism / authoritarianism and how it affects societies, or are apathetic towards those outcomes.

You must understand that there are people out there primarily driven by fear and hatred, that, once given positions of power, will use that power to denigrate or otherwise erode the humanity of people they simply don't like.

It's not enough to just not be racist, you must be anti-racist. It's not enough to just not be fascist, you must be anti-fascist.
Looking forward to it. I have many gsheets that would make excellent websites, but converting gsheet logic to work on a website has eluded me.

Something crawls along at 1 m/s.

After some clever engineering, it now runs 50% faster. Its speed is now 100% (baseline) + 50% (improvement) = 150% of 1 m/s (original speed) = 1.5 * 1 m/s = 1.5 m/s

The budget option runs 20% slower than the original model. Its speed is 100% (baseline) - 20% (derating) = 80% * 1 m/s (original speed) = 0.8 m/s.
"Debunking" requires people to be operating in good faith (where a "good faith argument" is an argument where both sides are legitimately trying to advance their own knowledge, rather than "win an argument" for its own sake). You can't "debunk" someone who isn't even playing by the rules of the game, and fascists have always exploited this.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
