> This ("one party refuses to acknowledge") implies that it is a fact that these articles are objectively ~"very well done" (could not have been substantially better, etc).

But it doesn't. At no point has anybody at all claimed that articles are "objectively very well done", "could not have been substantially better" or anything remotely close to that. I did reject the idea that Epstein Island would have been [generally] "dismissed as a conspiracy theory" by pointing out that it has been treated with considerably more seriousness than that by many people generally unreceptive to conspiracy theorists, including journalists (and policemen, and courts, and ordinary normies like me).

For someone that claims to be interested in philosophy of mind stuff around belief-formation and the importance of truth, you seem remarkably incapable of considering the possibility that your belief that I hold a belief which I never even hinted at (and in fact do not believe) constitutes an error of judgement rather than knowledge so sound you can reliably deduce delusions of omniscience[1] from it. If you are sincerely interested in the problem of "humans perceive and represent opinions as facts", I recommend rereading the thread and counting the number of statements you have made which are caveated as beliefs versus the number you have expressed as facts (in some cases explicitly dismissing the possibility of error). The total may surprise you, especially if haranguing others to couch their inferences as beliefs and opinions rather than statements is important to you. But if composing a reply is more satisfying than striving for self awareness or intellectual consistency, don't let me stop you.

[1]a deduction which only makes sense if "omniscience" is a prerequisite for "sufficiently reliable faculties to gauge whether some news items contain elements of seriousness"". I guess if you believe intermediate-level English language comprehension is an unattainable state requiring omniscience, it would explain a lot about your last few posts...

I'd say the self-deprecating humour is also a mainstay of the Brits, encompassing almost all social classes. Granted, I'm not a Brit, but a former boss of mine (I'd also call him a friend) was a Brit and he checked all the stereotypes related to that. Really great guy.

They (the Brits) used to also be renowned for their black humour, at least around these parts of the European continent, but I feel that that is beginning to fade out (maybe it has become too culturally sensitive to joke about death? I wouldn't know)

It sounds like you have a particular idea about what should be changed, yet you are reluctant to say which one, and you simultaneously want everyone replying to you to address all of those possibilities ("you aren't even engaging with them").

In other words, you are placing all responsibility upon your interlocutors to anticipate your thinking and none upon yourself.
> If <said thing> didn't exist, they'd have less money

The "Criticisms" portion of the article has one response to this sort of argument. Most of Red's aid is in the form of purchasing pharmaceutical treatments for those who need it. It sounds good in the short term, but it's essentially a private subsidy to the pharmaceutical companies and an excuse to keep drug prices high and not bother with government pricing regulations or government funded treatment programs. The argument is that the money could be better spent on lobbying for government aid and price limits.

I think what snowl wanted to know was more technical than that - why such new syntax is necessary to achieve those things? Why exactly the same things cannot be achieved with existing syntax? For example, it's very understandable why JSX is preferable over vue's string syntax (<tr v-for="employee in employees" :key="employee.id">) in terms of "just use JS" argument. What exactly warrants this necessity for these weird looking and non-standard syntaxes and why it can't be done without them. Thank you.
I guess (RED) is mainly for companies large enough to funnel revenue to a tax-haven, but in need of a tax-reducing vehicle when bringing the money back home.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple decides their exact annual contribution to (RED) not just per device sold, but based on how much revenue they need to transfer to US. It's not even cynical, it would be good accounting practice to report the revenue of Product(RED) before anything else, as you can get a tax-deduction for your "charitable expenses", while the rest of your revenue stays off-shore until a new opportunity comes along.

You basically get the social aspect for free...

I think App Store Search Ads were really the start of this trend. Think from a benefit perspective - do these ad placements help users? No, they lead them to apps they weren't looking for. Do these placements help good developers? No, they cost them money to ensure their own top placement isn't stolen in search. Does this benefit Apple? Of course - now every large developer on the platform is spending boatloads of cash to ensure they get the top result wherever possible. Essentially taxing developers to buy their own app name slot so that some other random company doesn't do it first. And it has the follow on problem of now allowing spam apps to have a voice on the platform - get your garbage ad-ridden, weekly subscription app approved, then just boost it up with search ads. The real problem is Apple still makes a boatload of cash from those scenarios, so they aren't incentivized to stop them.

iAd came before that - but it had a goal of benefiting everyone - users, developers and advertisers. "High quality" ads, privacy focused targeting, developers get a cut and as a result they remove other more invasive ad networks. Unfortunately it didn't work out, and with Tim Cook now at the helm the numbers for search ads spoke a little more loudly than before.

I learned some BCPL before I ever touched C, simply because the system I was working on came with a BCPL compiler and not a C one (it was CP/M). BCPL always seemed to have a certain Englishness to it which I only noticed when I came later to other languages of US origin.

I work in HPC, and while security isn't an issue for your typical simulation code, correctness certainly is. Spending a million CPU hours on a supercomputer computing junk because memory unsafely caused the simulation to corrupt itself, and then writing a paper publishing those results isn't good.

Many times when I've helped some researcher make their code run on a cluster I have discovered that the code crashes at runtime if bounds checking is enabled. The usual response is that "this can't be a problem because we've (or someone else) published papers with results computed with this program". Sorry sunshine, this isn't how it works. Maybe the corruption is entirely benign, but how can you tell?

The main idea was to build No Code website builder which is easy to use, but has more flexibility than building one page. Something that will let you iterate fast and grow your business.
CloudFlare probably has a list of most websites you have visited, though. And the contents of all CloudFlare-"protected" pages get proxied through their edge. They are effectively a Global Active Adversary.

I haven't seen them abusing this power except for some incompetence (i.e. injecting JS into pages that customers didn't sign up for) but maybe they're just really good at hiding it.

Hoi Peter,

>I have a similar conjecture for glidesort but I'll have to do some thinking to see if I can prove it.

It probably is technically O(n (log n)^2) moves, but I suspect that when the rotations are fast enough (trinity / bridge rotations) the cost saving from localization nullify the additional moves.

>I do cite you in the presentation in the section on ping-pong merges

Wikisort does have prior claim to ping-pong merges, and it likely goes further back than that. I did independently implement them in quadsort.

>I do also cite you for what you call parity merges (something I did not use at the time of the presentation

This feels like a tricky claim to me, since I assume your bidirectional merge was fully inspired by my parity merge. If so you weren't the first to implement one, I did so while working on the parity merge, but I figured it was self-evident the 2x gain would apply for a more traditional merge, and I did state the gain was from accessing two memory regions in the quadsort article.

I've since made a quadsort release that uses a galloping 'bidirectional merge', though it still takes advantage of the parity principle, so properly speaking it's a bidirectional galloping parity merge hybrid that sorts 2 blocks of 8 elements at a time, without boundary checks for the 16 merge operations.

>As you could notice, I didn't have a large time slot for my presentation

I did take that into account, I guess it's human nature to get butthurt over stuff like this and I couldn't help myself from whining a little. It is better than bottling it up and I apologize if I caused you unease in turn.

>Hopefully this does show my good intent

It does, and I appreciate it.

>That said, glidesort does not use a branchless binary search.

I assume that's one of the advantages of building upon powersort? The blocky nature of quadsort is both a blessing and a curse in that regard.

>I call my partitioning method bidirectional partitioning.

I meant "parity merge" / "partition". If you think about it quicksort is naturally bidirectional, which is why branchless partitioning works without further work, and undoubtedly why it wasn't self-evident to most. I did try to write a bidirectional partition early on, but it's either my hardware or I messed up somehow.

I agree it's possible to write a bidirectional merge without utilizing the parity principle. One of the trickiest things in programming is properly naming things.

As for instruction-level parallelism, I do think it's actually almost entirely memory-level parallelism. I could be wrong though.
Brilliant! Thank you for that.

I don't have much Java experience, so I'll have to take your word for it. But it's not completely obvious to me that you're correct. We've moved from an absolutist idea of memory safety to trying to build an implicit ontology of tiers of memory safety based on usage. Now you're talking about going and doing surveys of code and trying to measure the relative frequency of certain things and then using that to drive a tiered hierarchy of memory safety in programming languages.

Sounds hard to do and you also haven't accounted for what problems are being solved in each language. I can pretty much decide to never ever use `unsafe` again, but I'll be leaving perf on the table. If I were writing Java, I would probably be fine with that. But I'm working on interesting problems that want the most perf possible, and so U do very occasionally justify `unsafe` when writing Rust.

We did visit Switzerland and one of the main no-no-s for me was when I saw that the authorities can enter your house to check on you almost at will, if you live in Government-subsidised housing, that is. I did grow up in a Communist dictatorship, where all the housing was basically subsidised, and we didn't have to put up with crazy intruding stuff like that. But it is a very clean country, I'll give the Swiss that.
Various books on military science/history/geopolitics like Understanding Modern Warfare and Strategy (Lawrence Freedman), and books on Philosophy such as recently I'm reading books by Alvin Plantinga.

I find that reading books from those genres makes me question things more, which I find is a good exercise towards becoming a better thinker and learning how to piece ideas from different areas together.

For software, has got to be "Web Scalability for Startup Engineers" because it gave me a sweeping tour of most of today's software development, and various books on compiler development as building compilers taught me how to decompose things into smaller chunks.
Hmm, are you using BT headphones or speakers? AirPods are the biggest annoyance for me with auto-switching as I'll usually have a mac, iPad and iPhone at my desk, be listening via iPad to something then opening a random app on my iPhone will request audio and stop the iPad from playing as the airpods swap devices. I know - it can be switched off, but it has to be done on every Apple device they connect to.

My new problem is with Apple TV and the Dynamic Island. Now by default when I walk into a room where my wife is watching TV, the phone will pick up the proximity and show me the remote as a live activity (Which is great, usually.) Then I use my phone for something and have no sound as my volume is down and the buttons aren't responding at all (seemingly.) It turns out if ATV is in the dynamic island, your hardware volume buttons now exclusively control the TV volume, and the only way to change the phone volume is to go into control center and swipe around.

There are sites like japanese.io, that allow you to copy/paste any text and get vocabulary lookup, furigana support, allow to add words to a flashcard deck and other things.

I really like their idea and feel such a platform would add a lot of benefit, since you can read whatever you care about. Sadly, the site struggles with longer texts (the UI is not optimized for it) and their flashcard system isn't that great. I have been toying with a similar idea myself. I'd love to read my ebooks with an easy way to look up vocabulary and easily creating flashcard decks containing all unknown words. However, getting the morphological analysis correct while providing fast dictionary lookup has been quite the challenge. This is the first larger project I've attempted so far, so lack of experience definitely is an issue in that regard.

So if anyone has some ideas, feel free to share them. It's not something I pursue commercially, so lack of market doesn't bother me.
