Good point. My ignorance back then certainly could have played a part in my perception, but I don't think I am wrong :) I could go into details why, but I doubt specifics would be interesting to anyone.

I do agree that personal ignorance can make competency look more amazing.

Assuming that you give credence to the idea that brain emulation technology will emerge before AGI you may be interested in the 2016 book The Age of Em. The author has a pretty vivid imagination about the commercial applications of brain emulation technologies in similar forms to that which the OP article and it's links describe but the book seemed to have, at the time I first read it, an unusual sense of optimism about the rule of law prevailing in future labour relations.

It's still an interesting read a few years later but it definitely needs a follow up.

Hardware compressed texture formats introduce compression artifacts, which is fine for some art styles or PBR maps that don't need to be super accurate, but for some styles (such as pixel art or "clean" non-pixel styles, in both 2d and 3d) lossless compression is preferred, and yeah they're just decoded into bitmap data on the fly. Whether it wastes memory or not is subjective and dependent on use case. Yeah if you're pushing 4k PBR maps for terrain to the gpu using lossless formats for storage that's not smart, but you could argue that for many textures, using VRAM formats wastes disk/download space vs lossless (especially on mobile devices or webgl/wasm where space matters more). If disk space/download size isnt a concern then uncompressed vram formats can work for smaller textures. Though there is an initial decoding/upload cost to compressed lossless images, and they're not optimised well for streaming, at least with pixel art that's not a huge concern as textures tend to have small dimensions, though a spritesheet in a VRAM format can quickly baloon to ridiculous sizes for what is otherwise low resolution artwork. Of all the open formats that support lossless compression, are easy to link against, with wide platform support, webp is good, and smaller/faster than png for basically all images. Basis universal is a decent solution to the disk size problem of traditional VRAM formats, but it still isn't lossless (afaik?). Oodle is new to me, it looks good, appears to solve all of the above if the blurb is to be believed; it's a shame it's proprietary. I'd use it right away if it was FOSS.

And this goes far beyond politics (though it's the obvious one). People say they only can use reddit to find organic recommendations, but the representation is still very narrow.

That's interesting. I used to sell on-premise Mediawiki support to companies that needed a wiki. Mediawiki is the open source wiki written for and used by Wikipedia.

Obviously there's a bit of a difference in philosophy between Mediawiki and Confluence. But they are otherwise quite comparable in capabilities when it comes to outright information-sharing. Last I worked in this space, there were conversion tools between the two.

Objects and types are quite different concepts.

Objects are just "things" in the memory of a computer. Anything in a program is an object. That's why for example the C guys are constantly talking about objects, even C does not have any special facilities to handle more complex types of objects.

Types on the other hands side are an abstract concept. You could think of them like sets of objects (even this is a little bit misleading as types are not really sets, but types, which is a different, but in some ways quite similar, mathematical concept).

What looks quite similar are types and classes. In OOP languages both are bound to each other: A class describes a set of objects (as a class is a kind of template for objects) and it introduces at the same time a corresponding type (which is as mentioned also "a set" of objects).

The interesting thing about types is, as they're an abstract concept, they exist independent of running your program. (Objects OTOH manifest not before they get constructed at runtime in the memory of a computer). With the help of a sound type system it's possible to prove things about the runtime behavior of a program. That's where the value of types comes form. They allow to construct more correct programs by ruling out errors by type-checking a program, which can be done in the case of a static type system at compile time.

Stronger type-systems allow to constrain the possible runtime behaviors of a program better and more precisely. They help to make illegal program states unrepresentable.

Also it gets possible to deduct correct-by-construction implementations of some program behaviors solely form types. That's what type-driven development is about.

So, if you don't like runtime bugs but correct programs you should like strong static typing.

Systemic problems like this are the hardest to solve. The process of improving the state of public knowledge suffers from the free rider problem, where you can sit back, do nothing and let others work on it, and yet enjoy all the benefits of the improvement that work brought about.

These problems are too big for any single person's contribution to make a meaningful impact in solving, so it is in no individual's self-interest to contribute instead of free ride on other people's contributions.
That's fine, and it's also fine to share it on HN, but the title should reflect that it's just an introspection post layoff rather than a more researched article.

I'm responding to this:

> <Cadey> I don't know about the code quality standards of the sudo project, but overall I don't see them doing any concerted effort to try to migrate away from C (or to reduce the complexity of sudo) and there are frequent security vulnerabilities that result in attackers getting root access anyways. I really wish the industry as a whole would take languages like Rust a bit more seriously and start actually moving towards programs being safer to use because security vulnerabilities in core infrastructure result in emergency patches. It was disappointing to see an attempt at using Rust in an important Python library torpedoed by users of obscure architectures not supporting Rust. Maybe the solution there is to use WebAssembly as a compile target instead of making everything be native code. I wouldn't wish hppa's reverse stack growth on anyone trying to write a compiler though.

Which was edited from this:

> <Cadey> God I wish they did. They wrote the program in C, (as far as I can tell) have no intention of rewriting it in Rust, and it's had many viable attacks over the years that allowed attackers to gain root privileges and worse. It's also debatable if the entire concept of privilege separation as implemented in Linux and UNIX was a bad idea to begin with but we're stuck with it because of an endless ball of legacy programs controlled by egotistical open source people that refuse to change because then obscure targets that nobody uses won't be able to leech off of the rest of the ecosystem by holding back any chance to let us have a modicum of nice things.

Last month's electricity bill was about 75€ including electric heating, VAT and fixed charges. I do get 2 hours free per day during which I run the heading full blast at the moment, and other high energy stuff.

Most of my servers are not always on, some are in the cloud and some are virtual.

The ones that run 24/7 are NUCs which have excellent idle energy usage. The bigger ones are HP microservers but like I said those just run when I need them (there's about 100 TB of archive storage in them).

And then I have some raspberries to run my home Assistant and some other stuff. All in All I have about 10 real 'servers', 5 running 24/7, the rest are remote or virtual (one of the NUCs is an ESXi). Plenty of resources for a decent home lab.

With the recent increase in electricity prices I did move one of the microservers from 24/7 to on-demand.

That just means you're fully transparent to them. (Likely they have linked other accounts / IIP data behind the scenes; using it form a phone will have that effect obviously).

It's almost impossible to register an anonymous account there. Even if you find a throw-away SMS number that works to register (which is hard enough) a few hours later they will block that account again and require a fresh number to unlock. I've given up even trying to register there; but plan to fill out some GDPR complains soon. Thanks for reminding me to do so…

In a way, the normal US approach (income tax only) is just taxing spending, for if you have enough for the optimisation to be worthwhile, it is relatively easy to realise income only when one needs to spend it.

In a parallel reality, four out of the three are trolls who know that it equals two, but pretend it doesn't just to trigger those who're outraged by it.
I wanted to say, this is a point one could try to argue in countries where e.g. the fine for speed tickets is proportional to the income, but in the US there is just a lack of hard evidence to support that statement (and a lot of evidence that supports the opposite of the statment).

The way I perceive it the US justice system is too prone to be toyed around with by people with money. A lot of the stuff people pull off in the US would land you in contempt of court if you just tried it elsewhere on the world.

Innocent until proven guily, I get all of that, but what money factually buys you in the US is ridiculous

Not expressing an opinion is the missing skill many people need to learn, particularly on social media where the medium is doing all it can to encourage people to get involved.

Being able to say “I just don’t know” or “I don’t have the necessary facts” or “this isn't my area of expertise” or, better, to simply say nothing at all is something many “influencers” would do well to learn.

Just because you have 50million followers on some platform doesn’t mean you have the expertise to talk about vaccines or whatever the hot topic of the day happens to be.

Of course saying you don’t know requires a level of humility that many people simple don’t seem to have but hey, there you go.

It doesn't sound like you're familiar with the UK system either. Bail in the UK means adherence to specific conditions, i.e. live somewhere the police can find you, stay away from the victim and don't leave the country. It doesn't involve cash changing hands. If you've done something very bad, or are a big flight risk you will not be granted bail, but again, not a money issue.

The person you're responding to is referencing that sentencing is done by a judge who is supposed to be more objective when determining sentence, as opposed to emotional juries who simply determine if they are guilty or not of accused crimes.

From the older version of the Wikipedia article that Chris links to:

> Mushrooms

> One lesser known aspect of the game deals with the numerous tree stumps found around the slopes of SkiFree. Users have found that when skied over backwards they transform into a small spotty mushroom. It has been theorised that this points to a philosophical leaning in the nature of SkiFree's creator Chris Pirih. The mushrooms may illustrate an extrapolation of Plato's theory of ideas in which the physical form of something may not reveal its true identity and only its representation in our particular plane of existence.

And faster than "native" means faster than userspace...

And by faster they mean IO performance which is fine in principle but generally people think about compute when they care about the performance overhead of WASM because there is nothing about it that should make IO slower than native but everything about it makes compute slower than natively compiled programs.

Facebook => spy, Cambridge Analytica, ruined Oculus,

Having taken a masters myself has helped med tremendously on all of the aspects:

1. I know a thing or two about computing etc. and how we should apply that on a societal level from my masters in computer science. I use that to engage in the discussion. Someone else has studies science of religion and can chip in with insights there.

2. Having an advanced degree has taught me a thing or too about reading and understanding research and critical thinking, which has helped me understand the extremely scattered market for health advice.

3. Having lived large parts of my adult life on a sub subsistence level has helped me be empathetic towards poverty etc.

4. Having an advanced degree helps you assess new projects and ventures that might be worth pursuing entrepreneurially.

That's what the game is. Rolling a particular value doesn't get you anything; the expected value of a roll is not informative. If I gave you a die with all 6s, a die with all 3s, and a die with all 1s, and told you the rules of the game were that I give you $600 minus $100 for each point you roll, which die would be the strongest? Which die would have the highest expected value?

Note that your math is incorrect; B gets more wins from being paired against itself than either A or C do.

edit: here are results from sets of 1000 single-elimination 256-man tournaments where everyone brings a random die (in this case, draw/draw is equivalent to win/loss):

[140, 424, 436]
[144, 394, 462]
[160, 417, 423]
[123, 419, 458]
[174, 411, 415]
[150, 397, 453]

The round of 8 is much more lopsided, generally featuring >3.4 Cs and <2.9 Bs. Bs get a boost in rate of becoming overall winner because there are so many Cs at high levels. Cs have an even higher rate of being overall winner, even though they have worse performance starting from the round of 8, because their overall record is so much better. As die.

Obviously, in reality, people wouldn't bring random dice to this event. More people would bring C dice, because C is stronger than the other two.
