> It was definitely failure of government mechanism and officials but not state sponsored voilence.

No, it was state sponsored violence, instigated by Narendra Modi alone. Judgements by a compromised court hold no water.

Even worse there is direct video confession by the rapists and murderers (who were convicted later) of Modi starting the riots and supporting them with state apparatus.

To double down, this year Modis central government set several rapists and murderers who had been given life sentences free on Indian Independence Day and issued election tickets to the relatives of the convicted rapists and murderers.

Your linking to a report on the supreme court judgement in a "left leaning" newspaper as some kind of evidence is absurd. It's a report about the judgment not an editorial.

Where does the tone of this 'response' come from?

It isn't easy to communicate sneering condescension in flat ascii text but you did manage to do that here.

Your citation doesn't appear to say that right wing views are more censored, only that right wingers think they're more censored.

To even pose the question of animal suffering is unique to humans. After all, it's only humans who create humane societies to advocate for animal welfare.

Why?

I don't know how others belief systems would explain that, but from a Christian perspective, humans aren't exactly the same as animals. We're like animals in that humans and animals are all creatures, and yet distinctly non-animal in that we're the only creatures made in the image of God, and given rule over all creature to promote the flourishing of life---human, animal, and plant---for God's glory. And the biblical story is that humans went so far off-course in rebellion against their Creator God that the Son of God had to become human, die, and rise again to restore our ability to care rightly for creation.

Thus, concerns to minimize animal suffering are uniquely human concerns because we /aren't/ animals, but human; and the concern itself is proof we're different from other animals.

It's really really a pity gpu makers are so stingy about virtualization, so we could just have guests have some hardware. Virgl is a wondeful & excellent paravirtualization-ish, but being dumped on our ass by every hardware maker to paravirtualize when the hardware coupl very easily let us virtualize is super stiff.

There were a couple hot minutes where it seemed like Intel was pushing to make everyday gpus have some virtualization... Intel GVT-g and I feel like there were other efforts Intel was up to. But since Gen 11 GPu, Intel has dropped support & this seemingly is dead end. I dont think Arc improved things. There's a lot of chatter about sr-iov but unclear what if any consumer products have support... can someone run a lspci and just tell us please if there are virtual functions available? It might be a mode that has to be enabled, but the evidence might alsp be right there staring us in the face.

If you're eating Fuji and Gala Apples that aren't in season or weren't picked when they were ripe, sure. However, both of those varieties are vastly more interesting than Honeycrisp when ripe and in season. Honeycrisp's advantage is being "good" for 7 months even if it's never "great." Fuji and Gala can be "great," but are usually picked under-ripe to ship well and extend shelf life, and they sit around far too long; they were picked too soon to be "good" and will be sold long after they're less good than that. Just about they only thing they're OK for at that point is making sweet cider.

Growing up in New England, I always thought Washington's much-touted apples were shit until I had one on the west coast. They're just as good as ours, but out here we only get the ones that were intended for shipping, and they'll always be vastly inferior. The reverse is true, also.

Have we no drones to eliminate troublesome Saudis?

Reality is that we have lots of tools to address bad actors. There are always consequences, true enough. But it isn't like we haven't used them.

In this case, we probably won't, but the Saudis are increasingly more trouble than they are worth.
>It's clear that Twitter is going down the drain sooner or later because Musk exceeded the limits of his competence.

I don't think it's a question of competence. Musk bought a company that was already losing billions, and saddled it with debt and billions of interest payments per year. His recent actions also cost near-term ad-revenue loss, thereby further amplifying losses.

As bad as those things are, in-and-of themselves, they don't represent an existential crisis.

The problem is that he actually cannot afford to float Twitter until such time that the company becomes profitable (if ever). Hence the drastic cost-cutting measures.
Why not both? They did some things that were clearly illegal (malice). But they lost the money because they thought they were smarter than they were (incompetence).
In case this is serious, we didn’t sue Hussain or Gadaffi out of office.

My thesis in 2011 was on fuel cell technology. It is either inefficient, or too complicated, expensive and dangerous.

Basically all you need to focus on is, hydrogen is the first element on the table of elements, it is extremely reactive and volatile. When you diffuse the properties by binding it, then it becomes inefficient. When you try to use it in a reactive form, it is a nightmare.

The fact this technology has now existed in a bubble for almost two decades without any progress, points in the direction the whole industry and research behind it is fraudulent.

There are some niche applications, maybe, but that's about it.

Literally just repeating oil industry talking points.

The US produces a ton of oil, we also have no export restrictions on oil products, so no matter how much we produce domestically, we are still dependent on the swings of the global market.

We get close to no oil from Saudi, yet as the head of the most powerful cartel in the world, they have immense power and influence. No amount of “drill baby drill” is going to change that.
I know a person who fine-tuned stable diffusion, and he said it took 2 weeks of 8xA100 80 GB training time, costing him somewhere between $500-$700 (he got a pretty big discount, too, at today's prices for peer GPU rental it would be over $1,000).

Sure, it's peanuts compared to what it must have cost to train stable diffusion from scratch. However, I think most normal people would not consider spending $500 to fine-tune one of these.

Edit: Though I do agree that once this kind of filtering is in place during training, NSFW models will begin to pop up all over the place.
Weird, it seems the authors don't even know what an apology is or an i'm sorry is. Everyone can say "I'm Sorry" it means so many things that in reality it means nothing. Regret and admittance of wrongdoing is the point of an apology, it means the individual knows their actions were wrong, and they would take them back. That's much better than an "I'm Sorry", which usually means, "really wish you wouldn't feel so bad" or "lets move past this".

The loose use of the word "genocide" in recent years is extremely concerning. Nothing that is going on in China can be called a "genocide." No one (that I am aware of) is even alleging that China is carrying out any mass killings of any group.

The use of the term "genocide" in relation to the Uyghurs is transparently propaganda, which began with Mike Pompeo during the Trump administration. Even the US State Department said they had no evidence of genocide, but Pompeo went ahead anyways and officially labeled it "genocide."

You can very justly criticize China's crackdown on what it views as separatism in Xinjiang, but it's beyond the pale to label a situation "genocide" when nobody is being killed, and when life expectancy and income of the group supposedly being genocided is increasing.
The biggest difference in existence.

Firecracker is nice but still very limited to what it can do.

My gripe with all CI systems is that an an industry standard we've universally sacrificed performance for hermeticity and re-entrancy, even when it doesn't really gives us a practical advantage. Downloading and re-running containers and vms, endlessly checking out code, installing deps over and over is just a waste of time, even with caching, COW, and other optimizations.

The ever-present problem with that way of looking at it is that there's actually nothing special or new or more obvious about these events than any previously that should have keyed you in that he's a petulant, stupid man-child.

If this actually woke you up, why didn't you wake up when he called a diver a pedo for no reason, and instead of apologizing he fought it in court saying that "nononono it's perfectly normal we said it all the time as kids" as if that should make it okay.
There's no racism to be found - why do people conflate issues with the way the Chinese _government_ chooses to operate with the Chinese _people_ themselves?

The Chinese government technically owns TikTok - No doubt in my mind profile/algorithm data is being sent overseas for processing and manipulation by the Chinese government.

The Chinese government uses strategies that span _decades/centuries_ to influence countries. They can do that because they don't have to rip and replace governments/officials on regular election cycles - that's the way their government works and why some people consider Democracy to not be a great government structure - a separate tangent to go down.

The Chinese government creates/purchases a social media app that happens to attract easily influenced children/teenagers/adults, cater content directly for them to keep them on the platform for as long as possible, with the _very real_ potential for the Chinese government to influence people through algorithm manipulation, which app users don't even realize.

Don't get me wrong, it's equally as harmful when Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat does it - it's just that China studied this formula and has likely adapted it to be used as a form of cultural/government warfare against enemy countries - without even putting boots on their soil.

Distract as many minds as possible, feed them information that tells them the US/Canada/Europe isn't as "free as people say", deliberately promote key cultural "wedge" issues to emotionally enrage/depress people and eventually you have a population in 50-100 years that welcomes the Chinese government into their country because there is no cohesive American identity anymore able to stand against aggressive foreign influence/interference.

I'm not saying this is the sole purpose and goal of TikTok, and I'm not saying it's the _sole_ thing China is doing to "take over America!" - but it's a multi-faceted approach to foreign interference that nobody seems to even consider or think about. See - Belt and Road initiatives, foreign spies in high political positions influencing US politics, committing corporate espionage to steal trade secrets and technologies...

Yes, I'm also sure the USA does all of these things - personally, I'd rather have the USA doing these things instead of China, since I have more of a chance of influencing what the US is doing with our data rather than a country on the opposite side of the globe operating without recourse to western law.
Hard disagree. There are plenty of people in bad positions that need to do things that they would rather not. At one level it's having a job in the first place. I don't consider their consent to be unethical, it is the best choice they can make in the current situation, and the person asking for blood did not craft the entire situation.

In my case it is simply (unmedicated) ADHD. I can communicate in writing well in most cases, but am not able to communicate clearly in real-time because my mind is running faster and in more directions than I can speak. On medication I am suddenly 100x more eloquent and structured in my communication and can convey even complex problems with relative ease.

It is literally a difference between night and day. Without medication, I stumble over my words, have problems finding words, and it's very hard to not get distracted by 10 concurrent trains of thought. It's a source of great frustration and pain in my life because I do not like being medicated.
The dirty secret of programming education is that Python is, in practice, a sort of dead end for the majority of the people that it gets pushed on. There's a veneer of simplicity and approachability due to the design of the language itself, but (by-and-large) people often don't progress with it in a meaningful way and don't pick up good practices. (NB to pre-empt the backlash: "often don't" doesn't mean "no one does".) In that regard, it's not terribly dissimilar from Scratch or, say, the path of VBA programmers.

Given that it involves the possibility of an annoying installation and setup on platforms where it isn't available by default, and the tooling past that point is itself a bit of a backwater, it's surprising that we're still sticking this out over the decades and still pointing newcomers to Python. We probably should have done something about it by now—where that involves fixing the Python ecosystem, or putting efforts elsewhere.

I'm not alone on this. Konrad Hinsen has written extensively from a first person perspective on this as someone who 1. seems to like Python, but 2. has to deal with its (mis)use in the sciences.

> They enable you to move your selfhosted services from expensive, slow VPSes you don't control to fast devices in your own home[4]. IMO this is strictly better than a VPS in terms of privacy and data control.

How is trusting your network entry point to Cloudflare (or whoever) any better than having it at a VPS? At least with the VPS you know what's happening inside the box.

Here's a better solution: Get a free/cheap VPS. Setup a Wireguard tunnel from your home server to it. Slap a reverse proxy on the VPS that forwards internet traffic through the tunnel to your home server.

I don't believe in post-hoc awards removal. If you awarded something, you do it with no possibility of taking it back even if the recipient turns out to be the worst bastard ever later on.

I do believe big and serious awards should be done posthumously. I don't believe in for example, naming Airports or large buildings after someone who is/was still a live at dedication time.

However, I will acquiesce to asterisks --not removals.
Yes. It is just Wireguard… with a bit of magic on top.

As far as I can tell, the Tailscale magic is maintaining and distributing a wg.conf that is setup for a dynamic mesh Wireguard network. To do this (and in particular the NAT traversal aspect), they use their own software to setup and figure out NAT ports.

One you have Wireguard figured out, it’s pretty easy to setup a hub and spoke model VPN, especially if you have a static server somewhere. Setting up a dynamic mesh VPN is another thing entirely and doing it without requiring a server from Tailscale to be part of the network is, like I said, a bit of magic. It’s a straightforward setup that they explain quite well on their site. But to actually make it work is quite impressive to me.

In my experience, especially in a business context, it's flat out laziness and an inability to recognize others process information differently. Most importantly, people who are perpetually "busy" seem to lack the awareness that one must contextualize their message, and don't bother to take the time. The result is low effort and rushed.
Does factoring in population size really change things that much? 55 billion animals being killed in the US every year divided by the US population of 330 million is 167 animals killed per capita per year. So the average American is paying slaughter houses (somewhat indirectly) to kill an animal nearly every other day. That frequency doesn't seem a little excessive to you?

It really shouldn't be surprising that FTX is worse than Enron. Sure, Enron was run by crooks, but they were adults operating in a highly regulated industry. I've seen kids run a lemonade stand with better bookkeeping than FTX.
Not so much, at that time I was making projects putting them out on the internet etc. I tried talking with other adults that were programmers about some of the issues I had and occasionally got advice.
