It's always a bit funny listening to people complain about this, because at best they're naive about what they're criticising and at worst they're deliberately misrepresenting it.

For example, the author here states

>There is nothing particularly European about rational knowledge. Maths has always been an astonishingly international pursuit. The digits 0123456789 we use today were first written in India and inspired by Chinese mathematics.

Yes, I agree, the history of Maths isn't particularly western or imperialist, so let's look at what the consultation said about decolonizing maths:

>for example, decolonising the curriculum can involve explicit reflection on the history of MSOR [maths] knowledge generation

Right, so in your complaint about "decolonizing" you totally agree with their example of decolonizing maths.

Again, from the author:

>There are genuine issues around race that mathematics needs to address. For example, we don’t have as many black maths lecturers as we should.

and from the consultation:

> for example, decolonising the curriculum can involve ... reflecting on how delivery or admission practices might adversely impact on certain subgroups within the student cohort.

So again, why is this author writing a petition to oppose the thing he supports?

My guess would be that the author has picked up some far right talking points from the same people that bought you "Critical Race theory is a marxist plot"- the telltale sign is the weird tangent about "rational knowledge" being superior to other kinds of knowledge- a talking point straight out of the CRT panic.
Broadly agree that we should be shipping waste to robust ecosystems, but I differ on where that is. Generally speaking deserts are more fragile than high moisture ecosystems, though. Cryptobiotic crusts can take hundreds of years to form, and even a small disruption can destroy them until they reform.

More robust ecosystems reform readily, like hardwood and softwood secondary growth forests in the US, for example. They can quite happily grow back in a few decades on top of a clay capped landfill.
Its the only society, that integrated large scale the best of other cultures, leaving behind some of the worst in all cultures. Japanese culture, Indian culture, european cultures it all went into the melting pot and was accepted, aprreciated and cheered on. That happened nowhere else on that scale, except as a remimport from america, and its very insulting to insinunuate that the rejected cultural pieces were rejected out of racism. The truth is, lots of other cultures have horrible bits and pieces, that were washed out of the blending for a very good reason. This very debate, would never be had, in a majority of countries around the globe.

Which makes it all the more incredible, that the "host" operating system culture of the melting pot is attacked and a attempt is made to "regulate" cultural blending. Its a majority vote system, without a need for regulation. The good thing goes in ("Yoga" as a sport, meditation system), the bad stays out (insane cults, backwards religous practices that are abanduned in all religions). Nobody needed to facilitate or control that, but a sparse, neutral stove and a pot.

The people vote, with there feet, there wallets and there actions. Unemployed commisars, race-warriors and revolutionarys are free to form a line for unemployment checks.

I'm not sure what the adoption will be like in the long term (the design might be too minimalist/niche for some), but it's nice to see such variety and focus on usability and meaningful minimalism.

It feels like my install of Gitea and Drone CI, but taken a step further on getting things done and not much more. Probably a pretty stark contrast from what my personal GitLab and GitLab CI instance used to run like (the UI there was great IMO, just slow).

It's nice that we have solutions like that, especially those that can be self-hosted, or just hosted versions for people who don't want to admin their own instances. For now, self-hosted Gitea and Drone CI are good enough for me.
Not an astronomer.

How does this compare to eg. starlink? I mean... this is bigger and brighter, but there is one (1) of "this", and that should probably be relatively easy to filter out(?).

Do systems such as stalink with a "bajillion" of small satellites have any effect on (radio)astronomy?
So - BeOS was very usable on Intel. It had a lot more support. It also had more modern browsers. I ran it as a main OS well in to the 2000's.

On PowerPC is was a lot more hobbled. You sound like you were on PowerPC unfortunately.

4.5 and 5.0 were so similar that it really isn't worth talking about the differences - a few minor API differences. The main thing with 5.0 was that Tracker was opened, so they moved the About box in to the Kernel to prevent people using a fake one and preserve their copyright notices etc.. The API was really similar and mostly anything that compiles under R4.5 will run under R5. They also added in a bunch of 3rd party codec and changed some of the icons.

In fact, Stinger (BeIA) was based on the 4.5 codebase, not the R5 codebase. This is apparent when you try to use the API and notice anything newer than 4.5 is not present.
Agreed, that is true. A senior does not need to meet all requirements but at least 1 or 2, yeah.
> Learning stuff is what matters in an educational institution, not moral judgement

But we do hold the discovery process to moral standards. Every study involving humans (and I guess animals as well) goes through an ethics boards.

I think it's not too far out there to earmark certain discoveries as "knowledge obtained by methods we would not allow by today's standards".
Can confirm I felt the same when working in IT with far too many responsibilities. Just constantly felt dumb and like I knew nothing.

It's like the s shaped progression, but it constantly reset as I switched to the next thing.

Compared to just doing 1-2 things. Was always amazed at the cool new things I learnt and implemented.

Kelly criterion is not the best strategy for one. It’s the best strategy for an ensemble of ones in many universes but you can only live in one universe. It’s a nerd trap because it seems so elegant and reasonable.
Seems from my outsider perspective that this kind of hyper-aggressive and combative tone is like a currency on Twitter… There seem to be those for whom the Twitter bubble is _everything_ (which would include Elon), and then you have the other 99.9% of humanity who look on with confusion. And the 0.1% of the super engaged don't seem to be able to fathom that the Twitter bubble still exists _within_ reality, where actions can have consequences
I'm confused by all the comments here. Why is everybody so focused on the cons of dealerships instead of the cons if manufacturers own and run all the dealerships and the potential consequences, or even why it was regulated to be this way in the first place.
For a maker and taker with best fees, the exchange only made 0.5bps, not 10bps. We happen to know that top rebates were pretty hard to achieve though, so most volume probably paid at least a couple more tenths of a basis point.
Why would I need to torrent it? And how do I know it's legitimate?

I had assumed that the big news about its contents would break any day now. All I've ever seen is people talking about what people told them that they totally saw on it.
Still shocked to find the apologists for these blatantly racist ideas lurking here in the comments.

No, there is nothing good about "decolonizing", "equity", DEI, anti racism, or any of your other rubbish Marxist ideas. They are destructive ideas that tear down everything that we've built post enlightenment.

Look at what it's doing to education. In Virginia, we tried to stop teaching advanced math in high school, because it was creating "inequitable" situations. Should we get rid of gyms too? I've been lifting weights every week, but I'm still not as strong as an athlete!

And still the apologists for these ideas will rush to the comments and say it's well meaning and just poorly implemented, misunderstood, or outright deny that these things are happening. It boggles the mind.

Firstly, sorry for the bad thinko at a crucial occurrence in my first comment; I was talking about half marathons all along. I'm still a novice runner; only one year in. :-). For both the half marathons, I implemented the below bog-standard rough plan (no fancy high-interval training or anything like that—it helps, though!):

- "Rest" on Mondays - walk 6K or bike 10K

- 7K run on Tuesdays

- "Rest" on Wednesdays - 10K biking

- 7K run on Thursdays

- Rest on Friday; just daily life walking/bicycling

- 5K run on Saturdays

- 10K run on Sundays[1]

Most importantly, pay attention to diet (a whole another beast). As the saying goes, "you can't out-run a bad diet!"

And here's[2] my silly 'retro' of my most recent half marathon.

[1] When training for a race, I gradually increase the Sunday distance to 13K, 15K, and 18K; reserve the best for the race day. "Taper off" the intensity of running in the last week before the race. (Specific to my situation, in retrospect, all the city bicycling I was doing as part of daily life here must've contributed to my running too. So take that "hidden training" into account too.)

> Most news accounts seem to portray the scale of the bankruptcy as relatively small.

This is a key point.

They lost $16B in customer deposits.

LTCM lost $4.6B in investor funds.

Enron lost $11B in shareholder capital.

Interestingly, while Madoff is widely quoted as having lost $65B, that was almost all fabricated paper wealth, actual losses were around $18B and $14.4B of that was recovered and returned.

All of these situations are obviously somewhat different, but if what we're starting to hear is correct, FTX may be one of, if not the, biggest financial frauds/scandals in history. The media doesn't seem to be treating it as such.
No. In the European countries which no longer have cheques (or where they are very rare), the electronic banking systems have strong regulations which should prevent major problems from PayPal having access to a bank account.

If PayPal take money from my account and I don't like it, it's a few clicks in online banking, or a phone call to the bank, to reverse the transaction and block any future transactions.

It is the same system as used for an electricity bill, where a variable amount is collected each time.

Insane. I wonder how you would even design a memory subsystem for this. Back of the envelope calculation says you'd need at least a 212500 bit wide DDR5-7200 bus to even approach that throughput.
I was sitting at a table at a dealership in process of buying a car and overheard this at the table next to me:

"What's the best price you can give me?"

"Sir, we advertise our lowest prices up front so you don't have any pressure to haggle."

"You can do better than that price."

"... Let me see what I can do."

I believe he got a grand knocked off when it was all said and done.
On what basis are those things objectively bad?
Wow, I didn't know that, that's actually really good!
Hyundai dealership in Norway: Came to check the car in person and to ask couple of questions. Without any pressure dealer asked me if I wanted to take it for a ride. I agreed reluctantly, expecting that he will be joining. Nope, he just handed me the keys and asked to take a picture of my driving license. I loved the experience so much I ended up buying the car on the spot.
Good update, thanks for the correction :)
This isn't true? If you aggregate utility across universes using addition and have utility linear in wealth then you maximize your aggregate utility by going all-in on every favorable bet.

Kelly turns out to be equivalent to maximizing expected log-wealth, if one stays within a single universe, or to maximizing the probability that one will eventually have more wealth than any agent in the same universe that employs any other strategy on the same sequence of opportunities.
I’ve also seen paper straws wrapped in clear plastic.
And? It's not exactly news that European attitudes and practices don't necessarily work that well when transposed to a different ecosystem.

Look at Australia for example. The indigenous people figured out thousands of years ago how to manage native bush.

I'm not saying we should replace science with traditional knowledge. But indigenous practices are absolutely worthy of study, and can guide science.
I guess in this case it’s a homonym for both as C is sometimes a bit verbose :D
> I think this sort of thing is overstated to provoke political outrage and distract from the real socio-economic disaster unfolding in higher education

This is prima facie evidence of the socioeconomic disaster you speak of. Colleges flush with money blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on DEI training and commissars.

Funny story, telling people that "whiteness" is to blame for everything doesn't improve mental health problems or student satisfaction.

Yes! I'd love to do math, but we're two lectures in, and the professor is still making land acknowledgments... Very satisfying.

That would imply that you did something so gross that everybody blacklisted your server. Currently there's only a couple instances that are blocked everywhere, and those were used solely for spam or mass harassment I think – single user instances are fine.
It's like someone using a mirror to reflect the sun at you - it can be quite bright if the angles line up correctly. It's called a satellite flare.

They way I look at it, deposit and withdraw implies storage. I'm not giving you something to transport, I'm giving you something to store until I tell you what to do with it at a later time.

I'm not sure I agree it achieves the opposite of consumer protection. The liability to the customer is equal to the asset being stored this way. Lack of regulation is what achieves the opposite.

You can do three out of four things by your own. But is it easier if a dealership takes care of that for you? For sure. Will they take a share of everything then? For sure.

I don't understand all the complaining about dealerships in this thread, but maybe it's because I'm from the EU.
> Measuring how people actually behave is an excellent way to improve your product.

It might be if done correctly but often telemetry is only used to justify existing wants. A typical example is removing a feature that isn't use a lot even though a) users might want the feature but don't even know about it because it is too hidden (which might even have been done intentionally as a first step preceding the telemetry-based removal) or b) might not be needed often but is absolutely essential in some cases. Like other statistics, telemetry can be used to justify almost any choice.

Meanwhile the same people using telemetry will happily ignore users trying to talk to them directly, including those users that make it clear that they don't want telemetry. So if you aren't going to listen to users why should anyone believe that your use of telemetry is going to be in those user's interest.

> If this is done with sufficient care and anonymity

And as a user you have no way of knowing that it is.

> with no financial incentive to betray the user

When is there not a financial incentive to betray the user? Any use where telemetry even makes sense is already a few to many relationship where users are at least somewhat replaceable. Data breaches are common but usually there are no real consequences for those that collected the leaked data even though they didn't really need it. Even intentional acts like selling the data will be forgotten soon enough, that is if they even come to light in the first place.

Binance regularly closes deposits or delays deposits by hours in an apparent attempt to allocate arb opportunities to their internal trading desk instead of customers. For example, in May, we sent some LUNA to Binance whole the chain was working perfectly, then waited several hours whole chatting "VIP support" about the delay while they told some implausible lies about multi-hour internal network latency (????).

This is why I enjoy No More Jockeys [0] (in small doses), a game show between three UK comedians. The rules are:

* Going around the circle, each player names a person and a category into which that person belongs (e.g. "William Shatner, no more actors")

* Without taking notes, the next person continues and so forth.

* If a player believes another player is in violation of any of the categories, they may formally issue a challenge. If the challenge is valid, that player is eliminated, otherwise the challenger loses one of their (2) allowed challenges.

The show works great because all 3 players are comedians and old friends, so they love to get ridiculous and varied with it.

Categories might be "No more people whose name fits iambic pentameter" or "No more people who any of us had a crush on" or "No more people who have probably used a microwave before".

Persons might be "Noah" or, as you mention, "Barbie". Resolving a challenge like "Well, how old is Barbie, really?" are solved sometimes through discussion or sometimes through a player promising to abide what Wikipedia says before the third, uninvolved player, looks it up.

Nothing new here; domain-specific accelerators are a natural response to "dark silicon", which is increasingly relevant at leading-edge process nodes given the failure of Dennard scaling. I.e. you've got space for a huge amount of transistors on your silicon, but only a tiny fraction of them can be powered on at any given time.
> acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically while forcing its own language and cultural values upon its people

off the top of my head, both Roman Britain and Roman Egypt fit this one perfectly. The "exploitation" wasn't purely negative, just like the exploitation of colonies by Britain or France wasn't purely negative, but it was still exploitation.
This is a great point. I guess I am skeptical that everything will be lost, but even if it's only half it will still be an absolutely enormous bankruptcy and loss.

If all of the actual cash, the real liquid assets were withdrawn leaving only illiquid, relatively valueless crypto tokens, and those tokens are sold down over the coming months then the percentage losses as a percentage of the max or total value they managed will be very high indeed. Sorry for the run-on sentence.

In times of smaller demand, Tesla also had inventory on hand that they sold right now.

On the other hand, dealerships also sold future cars - and sometimes still do - when you want to have something customized.

So, there's no difference besides difference in demand.
This is why I dislike Twitter – although this behavior is not exclusive to this social network – with this kind of caustic post which is ultimately dishonest: this book looks like a very long article that goes into deep details about using a major part of React. And it also seems to be a way for the author to monetize their content and make it available offline, which is fine by me.

Looks like Stroustrup's comment on programming languages can also be applied to JS UI libraries: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.
