> I'm starting to see ghastly echoes of this sort of thing as "MAP" ("minor-attracted persons," supplanting pedophile on the euphemism treadmill) becomes an acronym I see more and more often here in the U.S., and the usual academics begin coming up with bloodless jargon describing their activities.

Despite living in the US and being one of those terminally online people who spend too much time on HN and Reddit, your comment is the first time I've ever seen the term "MAP" in my life.

I don't know what academics you're talking about, and I think I probably occupy an almost disjoint bubble from them. I don't read psychology papers or wherever that kind of stuff is found.

What you're describing is disturbing and I hope it's not happening. I can't discount the possibility that I'm just out of touch with the places or communities where it is happening though.
"dzaima" is how I prefer to be referred to as; but that list is largely me going off of memory, definitely worth double-checking. (and of course, they're ≤AVX2-specific, i.e. x!=y does exist in avx-512 (and clang can do movemask(~(a==b)) → ~movemask(a==b), but gcc won't), and I can imagine truncated narrowing at some point in the future being faster than saturating narrowing on AVX-512; or maybe saturating narrow isn't even better? (for i32→i8, clang emits two xmmword reads whereas _mm256_packs_epi32 → _mm256_packs_epi16 → _mm256_permutevar8x32_epi32({0,4,undef}) can read a ymmword at a time, thus maybe (?) being better on the memory subsystem, but clang decides to rewrite the permd as vextracti128 & vpunpckldq, making it unnecessarily worse in throughput))

This letter doesn't look like it was written by any kind of professional legal counsel. It looks like a teenagers interpretation of what a lawyer would write. If there's a valid claim to be made a lawyer would just file for arbitration not stamp their petulant childish feet.

I guess, traffic is great. I bet a big fire on a busy street leads to a bunch of gawkers too -- but maybe the restaurant next door is not getting any value from that foot traffic.

In the case of twitter's business model they have lost a projected 300-400MM of ad placements for the forecasted year -- so each of those visitors is consuming cost but twitter is unable to collect the impression charges as the buys are lower than the inventory.

So yeah traffic is great -- but not always profitable (especially when you insist on peeing in the pool).

> You can get the same sharing of hardware resources with hardwired control circuitry as with microcode.

Only with some other kind of state machine, though. I was maybe being a little loose with my definition for "microcode" vs. other state paradigms.

Maybe the converse point makes more sense: "RISC", as a design philosophy, only makes sense once there's enough hardware on the chip to execute and retire every piece of an entire instruction in one cycle (not all in the same cycle, of course, and there were always instructions that broke the rules and required a stall). Lots and lots of successful CPUs (including the 8086!) were shipped without this property.

My point was just that that having 50k+ transistor budgets was a comparatively late innovation and that given the constraints of the time, microcode made a ton of sense. It's not a mistake even if it seems like it in hindsight.

Reduce it further and salaries will have to change.
I think one aspect that is a challenge to understand what people thought about that is that it was a big trigger online. But for my experience less IRL. I think the academic / intellectual-ish (well the folks who think of them as that way) types bought into it. I'm really not sure many other folks did.

The answer is partially included in the latter part of your comment. Companies like NSO are "out-sourced" entities of the Israeli intelligence apparatus. If the shit hits the fan, as it happened in this company's case, then the intelligence agencies can say that they had nothing to do with it all.

Ask HN: Idea for an App: Home Organizer with Option to Sell Used Items Online
I have a lot of items in self-storage. Currently I use a barcode app (Duck Pack & Track). It allows you to assign a barcode to a box of items and assign a list of items in the box with pictures. It's little clumsy.

It would be nice to have an app where you can:

- assign a a barcode to individual items with photos, item description, location

- search items by description, tag, groupings, location

- have a recognition of item by taking a photo, generate a generic description based on the photo

- easily submit unwanted items to sites like ebay or facebook marketplace for free or for sale

- should be able to have tags, search by tags, browse pictures

- should be self contained, Duck Pack & Track uses drop box to store some data

- generate and print barcodes/qrcode on the standard sticker sheets

Good list. With a paltry experience of 14 years, I would add one silly thing that kind of feels too obvious to even add:

When there's an error or exception, read the error and the stack trace thoroughly and figure out what it means even if it means googling. Lately I've noticed that younger generation doesn't really understand error messages even in the simplest cases and people end up in wild goose chases when the real reason was incorrect permissions or something really mundane.

> I like the multiprocess approach with standard protocols, despite its complexities, because it lets different editors share smarts.

Yes, the benefit LSP brings is putting editors/IDEs on equal footing with respect to a specific language. Also the multiplicative effect when the author of a new language provides a language server so nobody needs to switch their IDEs to try it out.

However, seeing how „straight forward“ a tree-sitter specific language grammar looks in practice (1) makes we wonder if by providing a TS grammar for a language would realize (almost) the same benefit. Based on such a grammar and TS’ selector engine figuring out a syntax highlighting scheme, code folder, a docstring or symbol scanner might not be such a huge endeavor any more as you described for ENSIME.

So, yeah, in the end LSP might be dead end at some point, especially because TS promises to be very fast and avoids any IPC. Performance seems to be the biggest problem of LSP clients in Emacs and probably other editors as well.

The "truth era" wasn't the era when everything was true, but when we actually believed that there is such a thing as "the truth". I would argue that up until the time when "Applied Postmodernism" took hold in some of our most important institution we could say that we lived in the "truth" era.

Who is the "you"? Nothing more than the result of this process... unless you believe people exist metaphysically before having a corporeal presence? In which case you essentially believe in a soul, which is not a very secular belief at all.
The child is the outcome, not the winner/loser. The child is more akin to the reward the lottery gives out than the person getting the lottery. Closest participant to that would be the parents who are getting a "lottery" child... as they (currently) have no deliberate control over the genetic expressions.
Secular humanism is and has been on the way out and as a philosophy it's sort of impoverished. The big issue is in the title, namely the simplistic relationship to truth. There's a dinstinction between fact, which is the business of science, and truth which is always contextual. Take the claim from the article:

"Truths about the universe don’t depend on which country you are in"

Facts about the universe don't care where you're at. Truth which imposes meaning and perspective on facts very much does. By neglecting culture, myth and narrative which are central to how humans make sense of the world this secular perspective becomes completely unappealing, and that's not the fault of the non-enlightened masses but because that worldview is superficial. It also has the tendency to end up with a scientific fatalism that conflates what is and what ought to be.

This is usually where secular humanism suddenly turns a little bit dark, and not-so-very-humanist. Also on display in the article when "behavioral genetics" is elevated from something that ought to provide us with tools to increase human agency to something that apparently "determines life outcomes" ("genetic lottery"). That's the point where it's obvious that really the belief system is something closer to scientism, that is to say using science to impose values on people.

A belief system that ignored human cultural and religious experience and reduces individuals to a collection of genes is many things, but certainly not humanistic.
Does them being “old”, “white”, and “male” make these ideas inherently bad.

You’re asking why we ought to value truth and why we ought to not judge by the color of one’s skin. Don’t those things have obvious value over their alternative. That’s why I prefer them.

> Crime is certainly up, but still you're looking at 1 in a million or less odds to be victim of violent crime on the subway.

This downplays how often you will watch it happen or nearly happen though. It’s unsettling to have a drunk fight break out near you even if you aren’t a “victim”.

I used to ride the Caltrain late at night frequently and I witnessed violence and belligerent behavior >20 times over the period of maybe 400 rides. Only 2 of those resulted in police intervention and only 1 may have been reported as having a “victim”.

All this to say that counting odds of being an official victim of violent crime drastically downplays how much you will see said crime.
Because making it “less deadly” somehow equates to enabling them.

I think that people are more concerned with opioid death statistics than opioid addiction itself. And there is a shattering sense of defeat, which is normal, that is associated with realizing that you cannot help anyone who doesn’t want to help themselves. And if they don’t want to help themselves, then they may go down a collision course that will be their undoing. In this case that often means death.
“ Truths turn into dogmas the instant that they are disputed. Thus every man who utters a doubt defines a religion. And the scepticism of our time does not really destroy the beliefs, rather it creates them; gives them their limits and their plain and defiant shape. We who are Liberals once held Liberalism lightly as a truism. Now it has been disputed, and we hold it fiercely as a faith. We who believe in patriotism once thought patriotism to be reasonable, and thought little more about it. Now we know it to be unreasonable, and know it to be right. We who are Christians never knew the great philosophic common sense which inheres in that mystery until the anti-Christian writers pointed it out to us. The great march of mental destruction will go on. Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. It is a rational thesis that we are all in a dream; it will be a mystical sanity to say that we are all awake. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face. We shall fight for visible prodigies as if they were invisible. We shall look on the impossible grass and the skies with a strange courage. We shall be of those who have seen and yet have believed. “

> However, TNCs are not a reliable way to reduce car ownership. When TNCs entered U.S. cities, car ownership actually increased in car-dependent and slow-growth cities, and TNCs displaced transit ridership most in cities with high income and fewer children. "Overall, Uber and Lyft affect different kinds of cities differently, and that is important to understanding their impact," said Michalek.

This is not good. We need less dependency on cars. Not more. TNCs further dig us into the hole of car centric transportation in the US.

I fear we will never truly get walkable cities with alternative forms of transportation. The closest we will get is NYC but even that city is plagued by terrible, and inefficient zoning

> Think about how your body reacts to you driving. As you enter a turn you anticipate it and muscles tighten. This is more dramatic if you stop/start because this leads to the body being pushed forward. As a driver you know the car will be slowing down as you pushed on the brakes, passengers dont "know" this and their muscles dont react the same.

I guess part of that comes down to having a predictable driver that drives the same way you do. But then you start over-analyzing the drivers' choices which might be better or worse than choices you would make.

Reminds me of when someone told me a I was a good passenger on a motorcycle and I just laughed at the ridiculous compliment: but after they explained, I understood it. Apparently I lean appropriately into the turns and don't shift my weight suddenly.
> New Zealand has very strong separation between policy makers (the government) and the agencies that enforce policies. The government can't tell the police what to do, they can't tell treasury what to do, they can't tell defence what to do, etc. All they can do is write policy, approve funding, and request help.

Seems like it is less a democracy than rule by a professional elite with a thin veneer of elections to keep the people happy.
