Hey if you guys want to go down that libertarian rabbit hole with me I'm with you!

But it feels a little bit strange to me that people are on board with the idea that the government should be protecting me from buying antibiotics without getting themselves involved, but they don't think they should be protecting my children from being sexually harassed on the internet by pornographers.

If that's the modality we are going to switch to, where it becomes my responsibility to protect myself and my family from bad actors then fine. I accept the compromise. Please direct me to the place I can buy whatever medications I want without the government knowing or caring, and the place where I can attach unregulated firearms to my unregistered drones to hunt bears on my property.

But again it seems pretty odd to me that there is nobody up in arms about the fact that my kid needs to show ID and get my permission to get antibiotics, but you guys are all up in arms because he, a 12 year old, can't go online and be monetized into watching incest gangbang porn so that mindgeek can make a few cents off of ads for escort services and dick pills.
I would think the most valuable part of tesla is the network of loading stations that the own. At least in the US. In Europe the EU is setting a standard which is good for competition, but maybe less good for innovation.
And they basically all did develop EV platforms, probably the main reason it took them as long to catch up as it did. But now that they have them, the benefits coming from those platforms are just enormous.
I'm not sure I buy that argument though. The idea that you can squarely blame the obesity epidemic on some foods and not others.

Hell I'd be ok with banning all forms of food advertising and requiring that all foods be blank packages with nothing but the ingredients, nutrition facts, and a short description of how they were prepared. I'd prefer that world on general principle. But I don't think it would fix the obesity epidemic.
> I'm really not counting on their rationality.

There's very little evidence the Iranians are acting irrationally.

Their pursuit of a nuclear program is pragmatic (as evidenced by the kid gloves we treat North Korea with, versus how we treated Libya). Their negotiations and the resulting agreement for its suspension was pragmatic. Their response to Trump blowing that agreement up was pragmatic. Their funding of anti-Israeli groups is pragmatic. Their playing up of external threats for internal political purposes is pragmatic.

What genuinely irrational things has Iran done in, say, the last two decades?

> You can't compare the US and Iran on their records concerning threats.

The US made a bunch of "red lines" in Syria, without following through, but I was more referencing stuff like tough talk on human rights contrasting with business involvements in China.
Maybe I reject the notion of lost causes, and don’t think it’s a good thing to count people out.
I think a power/latency/perf tradeoff could be agreeable for certain applications. GPUs in the cloud are not exactly cheap. Many gaming experiences do not require nanite-level graphics.

Building something that can reliably output reasonable-quality 3d graphics without relying on specific GPU technologies will give you a much broader realm to operate with.

I believe something along this path is the solution for streaming gaming. I perceive the failure of Stadia, et. al. as being a consequence of trying to bolt streaming onto existing GPU-based, local gaming solutions. Build something from scratch with streaming/latency as a #1 priority, and you can dramatically expand the operational radius of each datacenter (e.g. ~100km per millisecond saved).
I’ll add to what you said by reiterating what happened not too long ago where PornHub were forced to purge millions of videos because they couldn’t verify that they were consensual. This happened after a large push-back from over two million people due to the publishing and re-publishing of rape footage of underaged women. These videos stood up for weeks and months before someone at PornHub took them down, they of course resurfaced again.

Imagine a child unknowingly watching rape on film. It’s bad for an adult, what about a child?

I don’t think most people really understand how vile and harmful porn is. I also think that regardless of the downvotes, it’s good to speak up against this. The intention is not to convince someone that doesn’t have a conscience, but to inform people who’re just unaware.
Yeah well that they omit a windshield wiper stalk is also idiotic and furthermore outright dangerous. I've done overtakes next to trailers some times in heavy rain where in a second I had to hit the wiper stalk to max. Relying on their camera-based AI to do that (yes they skip on the cost of the industry standard IR sensor for rain detection) is crazy. A german guy actually died a few years back because he was searching through the UI to find the control to set the wipers to max..
Wow thanks! This looks good. I was using the resources from learnsanskrit.org so far. I'll refer to this one as well
I live in Italy, millions of people don't live in huge cities, but in small villages where you need to take a car for a lot of activies.
minors are less likely to sign up for a vpn service.
In my experience noncompetes aren't enforced, unless you are very high up in the company and even then C-level folks usually get nice incentives to stay away from their competitors.
> A light bulb would by this definition be a very efficient TV.

Well, no, it’s not a TV. I never defined the term “TV,” I merely defined “efficiency” for a TV. We could quibble on some edge cases (is a digital photo frame a TV?) and I’m sure any environment regulations would need to go into excruciating detail, but that doesn’t mean we can’t immediately dismiss the notion that a light bulb is a TV.

> I would argue that a TV that can only show 1 frame a second for the same energy that another TV can show 60 should be considered less efficient.

You seem to be stuck in the mindset that efficiency is the only thing that matters, as if “efficient” simply means “good.” But no, efficiency is just one attribute. A hypothetical TV that clearly can’t function as a TV for the vast majority of people doesn’t illustrate a problem with my straightforward notion of efficiency.

If there were strict environmental regulations for this stuff, of course they would need to define some classes of devices and define some reasonable efficiency requirements based on the capabilities of each class of device.

> From that perspective, we would hold all things equal, and then compare the easy to measure metric. i.e. Showing 480p content at 24 frames per second, stereo only, non-HDR content.

That could be useful information to have, for consumers and perhaps for regulators. I mentioned that benchmarks would probably need to use some large corpus of content. But efficiency would still be defined as I proposed, and it’s very possible and not at all problematic for a less capable TV to be more efficient (just like it’s possible and not problematic for a faster car to be less fuel efficient).
Isn't this what the parent comment is saying?

> We could argue over the implementation of it, and worry about the downstream consequences, but then shouldn't the argument be: how to accomplish this without those effects?
Sugar is more likely to ruin kids than pornography? You’d rather give a kid porn than sugar? Dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while.
This is a good reminder, at least for me, to think about life outside my bubble. Wishing you a safe and healthy year.
OK, so the "good" in this case being making it more onerous to access a legal product and making it more likely that said consumers of product will have their personally identifying information stolen due to a particular extreme philosophical bent, got it. I'm going to say I vehemently disagree with your stance on this, but I don't think it's worthwhile for either of us to engage.

Edit 1:

> My views would've been considered normal, rational, and reasonable for almost everyone but the latest generation of porn addicts.

There's been pornography in some way, shape or form as long as there's been media to record it. There's been videos since the invention of film - prudes did their best to shut it down. Want to expand on what your "views" are? Because the ones you've expressed so far have been radical as far back as I'm aware of.

> If you want me to consider your opinion valid, I challenge you to take 1 year without viewing it, and then reconsider.

This seems very on brand to try to force others to take your stance just to engage with you.

Edit 2:

My last response on this as I abhor this "edit to respond" format.

I can't read the article, it's behind a paywall, but your initial argument:

> I’m going to be honest and say that I believe pornography is a level of sexual exploitation that no person, not even the actors involved, should be considered capable of legally consenting to partake in.

Does not in any way, shape, or form align with this argument:

> I believe, at this point, that pornography is actually increasing the subjection of women and increasing misogyny towards them, and there are actually many feminists who agree with me on this view.

In fact that first seems to be infantilizing the performers by literally saying that the women and men taking part aren't capable of making their own decisions. It's absurd that a woman can't be considered capable of consent to being photographed nude, and it's ridiculous to hide that stance behind "porn is misogyny".
>> Otherwise what you have is a budget that is lower than the possible implications of temporary downtime. That doesn't make sense in the real world.

> Maybe "the real world" isn't the best wording, though, and choosing "enterprise settings" or anything along those lines would be more suitable.

This is the point - for-profit corporations, by definition, don't want to waste money, and if "high reliability" isn't required (or they don't know about it), they don't waste money. Most of the time, they don't waste the money.

However, if "being cheap" would means billions in lost income (and they know about it), they really want to have reliable, redundant infrastructure and systems around.
Was it always so widely accessible? What did people do when it wasn't?
Good! As a former hedonist, I also used to defend pornography with the zealousness of the inquisition - which many of these comments show. Dig beneath the surface, and you'll see the rot. This isn't even speaking of the poor teenagers who have ED in their teen years from destroying their endocrine systems, or being mutiliated by dopamine addiction.

Meanwhile, you can read the studies showing upticks of sexual violence among children and TEENAGERS assisted by this "freedom" of pornograpy with no limits.

Understanding a Context of Risk: Pornography and Child Sexual Abuse
https://osf.io/kf4uv/download/?format=pdf
One of the most troubling patterns emerging in the research relates to the increasing number of younger children (under the ages of 12-14) involved in perpetrating child sexual assault. Clinical and legal studies are reporting greater numbers of preteen children demonstrating interpersonal problematic sexual behaviors that intrude on the physical space and security of other children (Friedrich et al., 2006; Swisher et al., 2008).

<>

Most relevant to the purpose of this paper is the role of exposure to sexually explicit media as one of the explanatory variables in child sexual abuse. A meta-analysis of 22 studies demonstrates that exposure to pornography, particularly violent pornography, is significantly associated with increased rates of sexual aggression in the general population (Wright et al., 2016). Given that the average age of first exposure to pornography is age 11 (Wolak et al.,
2006), it is important to begin to consider what role, if any, pornography may play in child sexual abuse, particular if perpetrated by children. Several studies have included sexually explicit media as a contributing factor for child-perpetrated sexual abuse.

The Association Between Exposure to Violent Pornography and Teen Dating Violence in Grade 10 High School Students
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6751001/
Exposure to pornography in general has been linked with adolescent dating violence and sexual aggression, but less is known about exposure to violent pornography specifically. The current study examined the association of violent pornography exposure with different forms of teen dating violence (TDV) using baseline survey data from a sample of Grade 10 high school students who reported being in a dating relationship in the past year (n = 1694)

A Meta-Analysis of Pornography Consumption and Actual Acts of Sexual Aggression in General Population Studies
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jcom.12201
Is pornography consumption correlated with committing actual acts of sexual aggression? 22 studies from 7 different countries were analyzed. Consumption was associated with sexual aggression in the United States and internationally, among males and females, and in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Associations were stronger for verbal than physical sexual aggression, although both were significant. The general pattern of results suggested that violent content may be an exacerbating factor.

so the article says 128MB but in the later slides they say 144MB. Is the 16MB difference L2 then?
Starving yourself often slows down ur metabolism even more, which makes it harder to lose weight without medical issues. the will power to put urself into coma Jesus Christ.
Yes, I see, that doesn't make sense.

I wonder if all that was more of a consideration in an older time, with weaker hardware. Anyway where I come from (ILP research, again) "polynomial time" is synonymous to "efficient" and the bigger problem is proofs failing to terminate.

I might actually try some learning experiments with the occurs check flag set to "true" just to see what happens. I mean, I wonder. I'm so used to leaving the flag to default false that I wonder if I haven't formed a completely wrong model about the execution of Prolog programs. I've been coding in Prolog for more than ten years now and it still catches me off-guard at times.
> 7950X3D + an RTX 4090 + a PCIe 5 SSD will be quite the system for programming

Agreed, but not for testing, please. Too much stuff out there already seems to be designed for or tested on what might as well be supercomputers like the above, and then get shipped out to run on Grandma's 7 year old <Misc Manufacturer> laptop.
How could CenturyLink possibly know if someone has submitted their ID to PH? Unless you're suggesting Louisiana force CL to block PH, which I'm sure would have all sorts of freedom of speech implications.
People ooh and aah over the tacky gigantoscreen in Teslas, but it was really a hack to avoid having to design the usual litany of buttons and knobs that go onto a dash. Thankfully most other manufacturers haven't gone as totally screen-centric as Tesla (yet...)
it would be a fascinating twist if players like NordVPN had deliberately lobbied for this legislation.
Prior to the invention of fabricated light sources, the lunar cycle would be of interest to any humans that liked being able to see and walk at night.
You might be right with some of these criticisms about the ideas and style of the sentence, although I think most of these come down to taste and context.

Grammatically, the sentence is easy to parse and a native English reader would understand how to say it out load.

I think the sandwich shop and similar working class non-competes is what finally pushed this into happening.
This is typical busy work given to agents to make them feel important, to test their loyalty and ability to accomplish tasks provided. For the most part, it's not actually supposed to result in useful intelligence.

Also there's a huge difference between tracking military equipment movements and power infrastructure. Power infrastructure doesn't move and can't really be hidden.

I agree with you. I think the response you are getting is from people that have not seen how kids are being exposed to porn at younger and younger ages. We are doing an insane social experiment on the next generation because this kind of access to sexual content has not existed for all of human history.
Impact of upcoming EU regulations, such as the Radio Equipment Directive and the Cyber Resiliency Act, on the development of embedded systems. It is crucial for both software companies and industrial equipment manufacturers to be aware of and prepared for these changes in order to avoid potential legal issues.

I understand noncompetes in some fields... but this can be solved in other ways. In my country (slovenia), a noncopete is valid only if you're being financially compensated by some amount while the noncompete lasts.

It's a bit complicated here, but ideally companies wanting noncompetes could be forced to pay the difference between what the worker would've earned if they stayed (+ some safety factor for a potential raise elsewhere, eg 20%) and what they earn now with a noncompete.

So if a worker earned 100k, with the safety factor for a raise that means 120k, and can only earn 50k due to a noncompete, the company would have to pay the difference of 70k to that worker if they wanted to keep the noncompete valid (for a limited amount of time). Company keeps their 'secrets', but has to pay for the secrecy.
Yes. And if Tesla would move to block them from doing so, they would set themselves up for an anti-competition suite of epic proportions in all markets, from the US over the EU all the way to China.
Correct - a lot of the slides show L2 + L3 total cache size.
> I developed a terrible sweet tooth and binged on carbs, insatiably.

This sentence is the problem; you didn’t “develop a sweet tooth” like you grow a tumor, you out sweet things in your mouth by choice. You had agency, you made that decision.

Stop avoiding your role in your weight, stop pretending someone else was in control of your decisions. It was you, you did this to yourself.

Non-Competes being legal is only acceptable I think if the worker will continued being paid for the period of the non-compete. I can see reasons that non-competes exist, but those reasons don't really make sense in a world where patents and trademarks also exist. The fact that they are essentially illegal in California, and California's economy works shows that they are unnecessary and also don't hinder technological development.
Humor was made illegal around 2014.
They gave you all the information you needed to ask the next question. It specified “in a closed system,” which meant it made an assumption of the closed system and told you. An observant reader would ask then “and what about an open system?” Or if they’re not that sophisticated, “what about a non-closed system?”

You’ve not talked to many theoretical physicists I see. I’ve not noticed they’re usually that good at explaining things, especially to lay people. They tend to be very good at talking with people at the same level or more advanced, usually in a mathematical form. They tend to be pretty bad at imitating a human.
Press release from the FTC (and no paywall): https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/01/...
I'm not gonna say TSLA isn't overpriced but number of cars isn't a great metric. Let's look at some financials:

Tesla: mcap $388B, debt $9B, op income $12B, free cash flow $9B

GM: mcap $49B, debt $110B, op income $10B, free cash flow $1B

Ford: mcap $48B, debt $139B, op income $11B, free cash flow $3B

Tesla makes more money than Ford or GM, while having much less debt. The fact that they sell fewer cars means their margins are higher, and they have more room to grow. Maybe they shouldn't be worth eight times more than Ford or GM, but they should definitely be worth more.

And if you believe that the industry is going electric, then Tesla is already there, while legacy auto has a lot of work to do, and Tesla's low debt load makes them better positioned to do lots of R&D.
Did you buy a sound card?

It's funny to think these days how you use to have to buy sound cards (and hardware DVD decoders, but this came later)
Hmm. It helps that as an old guy, I can afford multiple streaming services, but, quite frankly, were it not for my wife, I would have none at this point. Beyond that, with few exceptions, there are few memorable items that make me reconsider ( or even bother to think of pirating it ).

To me it is just like gaming and it serves as a good example. Steam made it so easy, accessible and hassle-free that I accepted their online 'DRM' despite initially being staunchly against it. I have no reason to pirate. Just about ANY game I can think of is there. This is what the content owners need to create. They don't want to cuz they don't want to share, but to that I say, tough noodles.

I don't really want to go back to the old days, but oddly I clearly could if things got sufficiently annoying. The last time I wanted something that was locked behind another paywall was new Dexter. I ended up just skipping it ( I am not gonna subscribe to another subscription within Hulu ). I don't need it. I don't need any of it and this brings me to my main point.

It is a luxury item. It is entertainment. It is hardly a necessity.
Apparently valuable enough to do a prisoner exchange for.

I also doubt the quality of the optics in Russian satellites.
> The idea that services like Uber without the drivers would make car ownership obsolete drove those valuations.

Did investors really believe that? I don't know a single person who believed that years ago when the pre-IPO valuations were going through the roof. I maybe knew a few people who believed it was possible one day but not anytime soon. It's wild to me that so called sophisticated investors really believed that in the not too distant future uber would have a fleet of driverless vehicles shuttling people around.

FWIW, I don't believe we'll see anything like that in my lifetime (I'm 37). The last few years of development in this space, for me, have proven that it's a much harder problem than people thought and that the early big improvements in the tech gave people false hope.
I understand the first 2, but where does a PCIe 5 SSD make a difference? Video editing?
