I checked DuckDB and your statement appears to be untrue.

>>> con.execute("CREATE TABLE passwords (hash TEXT, count INT)")
<duckdb.DuckDBPyConnection object at 0x7fc7bceb55f0>
>>> con.execute("CREATE INDEX ix_hash ON passwords (hash)")
<duckdb.DuckDBPyConnection object at 0x7fc7bceb55f0>
>>> con.execute("COPY passwords FROM 'pwned-passwords-sha1-ordered-by-hash-v8.txt' (SEPARATOR ':')")
100%
100%

It froze in an attempt to load the data. Nothing happens after it displays 100%.

You call it whataboutism, I call it calling out hypocrisy.

Saying: “ There's no excuse for that level of inhumanity.” when people excuse factory farming every day is hypocritical.

It’s easy to disavow this because it doesn’t affect you.
Sounds great until you remember you're not get even half of that nameplate capacity. Capacity factors of solar/wind is between 10% and 30%. Offshore wind can be as high as 45% but your link says it's only 5% of wind capacity (in 2020).

Intermittents like solar/wind aren't suitable for grids without a backing firm energy source. Today that is fossil fuels. We don't have a proven viable replacement right now. Most people think that we'll use batteries instead but that's a pipe dream with today's battery tech. We literally don't have enough minerals. See this report: https://tupa.gtk.fi/raportti/arkisto/42_2021.pdf

Lots of people are trying to address this storage problem but there's nothing that is proven and manufacturable at scale today.

WordPress does not require mpm_prefork. It works just as well with mpm_event (with php-fpm). Arguably, mpm_event is the most widely used one nowadays.
Also, UBI is often the cheapest and most efficient way to prop people out of poverty and (surprised?) to support their ambitions in education, starting business etc.

80-90% of energy generated from intermittent source would require immense amounts of storage to even out intermittency. If a silver bullet like hydrogen or compressed air solves storage, this may be feasible. But that's a big if. If fusion becomes viable could it be a viable primary energy source? Sure. But societies aren't going to bet the future of the energy industry on an if.
We still tolerate much less flying risk than driving risk -- driving makes much more deaths than flying, and coal makes for worse health than nuclear, but we hold flying and nuclear to higher standards than driving and coal
I think qualia is a good term in the following sense:

An analogue question would be "why do things exist?". There can be no answer to this question. We can of course come up with theories that explain why certain things exist. But never why something even exists at all. Whatever reason we propose, reason, it again might needs to exist in order to be an acceptable answer.

Qualia seems to be similar: They name precisely what is subjective about experience and therefore cannot be fully turned objective. We can of course develop theories of how certain experiences arise but never break down this barrier.

So I find it a bit short sighted to simply say "there is no such thing as qualia".

My preferred view is to think of both "qualia" and "existence" as a koan: They are very nonsensical terms but lead to interesting questions.

I'd guess very hard. But just refactoring the WordPress codebase isn't enough, you'd ideally want every plugin to adopt the new API as well... Although you could always keep this implementation as the fallback behaviour.
No they can’t. Western water law is incredibly convoluted and irrational. It prevents this exact thing under the doctrine of beneficial use.
There is a lot of dismay related to the term "web 3" since it is related to blockchain tech and dare I say cryptocurrency. I was surprised to see he mentioned it. I'm a big fan of decentralization, but I also know there are a lot of people who are salty that they didn't get in on crypto at the beginning when it was offered to them on a platter in their native language of technology, and thus shun anything related to it. This includes the term "web 3".
I suspect, if this effect is real, it has more to do with social supports, the size of the social group, and maybe also metaphysical/religious beliefs and attitudes. People who have a worldview like "Demonic possession is real! And no big deal! Happpens to everyone from time to time!" skew non-urban. They may well interact, socially and emotionally speaking, with schizophrenic relatives and community members, in a better and healthier way, than we, in all our enlightenment, do. A case of minor thought disorder, for example, can probably either be aggravated or lessened based on the social response to it. The secular Westerner may not think schizophrenics are demon-possessed, but we sure tend to treat them like they are cursed.

> There's no excuse for that level of inhumanity.

Being a descendant of genocide survivors I have come to understand that most people are good and organized groups or mobs can be evil beyond comprehension. That's just reality. It has nothing to do with profit. Genocides don't have profit as their root cause.

The other problem is that, in the presence of extreme behavior the "moderates", despite being the overwhelming majority, are irrelevant and useless.

The southern US border has been a major source of sex slavery and human trafficking (last I remember, about 40K per year, more now). And yet, the very politicians and the media who purport to be for human rights, fairness, compassion and, in particular, women's rights, do nothing to stop it and say nothing about it. In fact, they have been ignoring this to such a degree that the problem has reached indescribable proportions.

If we can be brutal and cruel to human beings in such ways, why would we be kind to sharks?
I just put everything behind haproxy and handle most of "which domain goes to where" there. It's designed to be reverse proxy from the scratch, it's light and very good at it

> Wordpress which needs PHP which requires mpm_prefork, which precludes mod_http2. Guess I should just proxy WP to another instance of Apache or some other httpd...?

php-fpm have been de facto method you should host PHP for a decade+. It also allows to have different permissions for web server and PHP app which can make it more secure
It generates text. It has no idea how “correct” its output is. The best it can ever do is give you information about how likely the output is to follow the input based on its corpus. That may or may not correlate with correctness.

For the sake of argument ignore issues with the correctness of the corpus itself. Imagine that the model produces a 50 word answer. Inserting the single word "not" in the answer may only change the likelihood score by a small amount either way, but it could completely change the meaning of the answer.
I have that on my Pixel phone, if it detects a number that isn't in my contacts, it'll auto-screen the call and provide me with a text transcript of their response. I can see what the person says and choose to answer or let them just continue on to leave a message.

And if it thinks it's actually a spam call, I don't even get it ringing, it just quietly "handles" it (but obviously takes a message so I can call back if it was wrong).
I'd say one of the important ones for me is what are the mechanisms for retries under network loss or lack of connectivity in general. What is the behaviour/semantics of that? Can I buffer messages that then get backfilled when a recipient reconnects or do I need to do that in my code / application layer.
Believe it or not, they mostly don’t. It tends to be fairly binary. Corporations have legal personality, including separate tax identity, so no pass-through taxation. Sole proprietorships have pass-through taxation, but no legal personality (incl. no limit to liability).

Intermediate entities like LLCs are a relatively recent Americanism that’s unusual in the rest of the world.

That’s one interpretation. The other point that waffleiron may be making is that shark fin harvesting is completely on brand for humanity with respect to factory farming.

My interpretation is that if we are going to do something on the shark fin industry, it makes complete sense to also take a look at factory farming.

I think the basic idea is that the hash has a fairly uniform probability distribution, so knowing the prefix means you can estimate its location in a sorted list.

For instance if we were talking about n random sequences of digits then if you want to look for a number starting with 42 then you can start looking at the the 0.42n element and it is likely already very close to a match.
That's hardly a good faith interpretation of the post you're responding to. Do you actually want to discuss something or are you just looking to insult people?
I'm pretty sure that's how medicine works. Obviously, if I knew the vaccine would kill me, I would not take it. But it's the same deal with literally any medication.

When I was prescribed Accutane for my acne, I was told that it could cause kidney damage. If I knew it would cause kidney damage to me would I have taken it? Of course not. But I hedged my bets and gambled that it wouldn't.

As far as the suppression of information goes, obviously that is totally unacceptable. That's also partially why I upvoted this post right?
Begin by dispensing wishful thinking, next, think clearly.

We do not establish the nature of reality by survey, neither of human survey nor of machine. That responses are generated by any system is no grounds for assuming anything.

We can establish mental properties through ordinary physical means. Give a chicken cocaine, give a boy Valium; give a bear a lobotomy, and so on. Whatever mental property you have can be biochemically moderated across all objects which share that property.

That bugs bunny protests his own consciousness is no grounds whatsoever to suppose ink can think. Such nonesense is protoschizoprehnic.

Will we ever live in a society where you aren't allowed to "write off" R&D/depreciation/the typical things companies use to avoid profits?

We want companies to reinvest their profits into growth to hire more employees, right?

Where do we draw the line to make it harder for them to do so?
The WeWork core business model is not just "renting real estate". It's paying for long-term leases and then subleasing on short-term ones. The business model was always bad because office space is sensitive to the economic cycle and boom-bust cycles in office building. The closest it gets to working is a company like Regus, who services the fringes of the market, like companies that aren't big enough to get a regular lease, but they provide a bunch of add-on services.
Heaps! My main clients use AIX on Power for most database workloads (DB2). I had a client that used HPUX for everything (SAP). One could Telnet into their core accounting system from the corporate network.

GOOD: Its concept of separating personal data into a separate store/service/db which promotes autonomy and data portability. Its documentation. Its developer community. BAD: it doesn't support delegation (e.g. GNAP). It isn't multi-contextual. It costs money to host or requires IT skills to self-host, making this a solution only for elites. UGLY: Its aggregation of personal data of many users creates a honeypot. It's a partial solution--it lacks a governance/legal dimension that is required because data can't be owned (privacy isn't the opposite of sharing, privacy is about trust in how data is used after being shared from a personal data store, and there's no technology solution to that).
Much of the wealth that is really at the top is capital gains or can be offload onto offshore entities.

When you are really rich it's not income tax you are trying to avoid rather it's about protecting the vast wealth you've already accumulated via asset inflation.

And then we could talk about the largely regressive nature of sales tax.

Taxing income is actually a perversion as well, why should we be taxing actual productive actively when it's wealth we are looking to redistribute. Tax the accumulate wealth not the income.
It’s cool to see others have ended up with similar setups. Desktop four started as either a vm or vnc/rdp client for software that wouldn’t run locally. So that’s why it remains as the catch-all.

That's not entirely true. Supply, demand and culture have some complexities in them. Humans want meat, but the kind of meat they consume is based on what is available. And then it seems to follow that what they want to consume in the future is based on what was available in the past, not on what is most economical now. A kind of cultural feedback loop which results in most of the shellfish around England being sold in Europe because the English don't want to eat it.

I'm sure this kind of feedback loop happens in a lot of industries. Companies don't just make what people want, they also make people want things. Throw in regulation too, which limits the shape of what can be produced. I think what it boils down to is that when you say people want X, that want is not unshaped by those providing it plus other external factors, so there can be a path to people not wanting it that doesn't just involve their individual decisions.

This is a weird history of nuclear fission.

The Manhattan project developed nuclear fission to make bombs

The weapons programs were extended to generate power
They are opposing each other because of the combination of two factors:

* Peak energy demand happens when intermittent sources are at their lowest production [1].

* Nuclear power is as cheap to run at 100% capacity as it is to run at 50% or 25% capacity.

If you build enough nuclear power to fulfill the peak demand when renewables aren't producing, then you've already built enough nuclear to power the grid all day. And since nuclear is just as cheap to run at 100% capacity there's no point in provisioning renewables. Renewables work well when paired with a dispatchable energy source like gas or hydroelectricity. The former emits carbon and the latter is geographically dependent. In areas without hydroelectric potential, nuclear is the only existing option for full decarbonization.

I loved both it and the book. More than just being fun, I think that it really does a good job of capturing the feeling of what it was like to be a hippie in the early 70s, realizing that the world is moving on and your dreams aren't coming true. 50% conspiracy theories, but also 50% real acutal conspiracies because capital won't allow a utopia.
I'd argue Mac OS X is proprietary UNIX, but I'll admit to that being a bit pedantic.
> Its not.

But only because we have differing set-points for defining animal cruelty. Force-feeding an animal so vigorously that it develops hepatic steatosis, only to kill it and consume its liver sounds equally cruel to me. Don’t get me wrong; I’m delighted the U.S. Congress saw fit to ban this practice. Now go ban the thousand other forms of cruelty visited on non-human animal species.
Sure, that's the easy answer. But you must have a legal framework in which to do so.

Otherwise, what do you have?
Kernel state does not survive reboots afaik.

Only half-ironic though. There is a problem with industries that are viable and important in the longer term, but are at risk of being shut down in shorter terms due to market fluctuation. Subsidies help them off the ground on one hand, but ossify their structure and skew the incentives (by definition) on the other hand.
