> You just keep throwing the argument on whether ZFS is derivative or this or that but it is simply irrelevant.

And you keep saying things like this without explaining them. Perhaps I've failed in being as clear as I possibly can be, and for that I'm sorry, but this is last comment I'll add to this very long thread, because where as I've have provided references to the text, and tried to explain my thinking, you have not.

> The installer will one-click link the two for you

AFAIK this is false, as I believe I've said before. The zfs.ko is prelinked.

> The ZFS module they ship only works with the very same kernel version they ship and viceversa (this for me is already enough to fail the "it is not derivative" claims -- but that's another story).

So, your idea is because a binary module is dependent in some way upon an underlying substrate like a library or a kernel (as opposed to the source being dependent), it is a derivative work? I think that's a fine test to propose as being the test for whether a work is derivative, but you will need to point at some textual basis for that belief. So far, I don't see one from you, and AFAIK the GPLv2 does not propose a specific boundary itself other than that of "derived work."

> It is, in my view, impossible to claim this as "mere aggregation".

Again -- you have to explain "Why?" of this bare assertion. You use language like "clearly" and "evident" and "impossible" when you haven't explained yourself with reference to the GPL text and/or copyright law.

> A license for X software could claim that you can only distribute X alongside other software which has an even number of lines of source code and you'd have to comply with it. Not because "other software" is derivative from X or not, but because you have to comply with it to copy X.

There are boundaries to what are permissible covenants in a copyright license. Copyright is a actually a rather weak IP right, and one example of a very broad exception/exemption would be copyright "fair use". It's fair use to copy API definitions, for instance.
The best thing to read is Eden Medina’s “Cybernetic Revolutionaries” (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262525961/cybernetic-revolution...). There’s also a good Tech Won’t Save Us episode featuring the author: https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/tech-wont-save-us/id15...
so much hindsight bias, sure, everything you take for granted now is not interesting, and for the parts that you think are not true you have just as little evidence as he had in 1997
So, today I learned this algorithm with the help of some youtube videos.

It seems to me the primary advantage is to avoid the combinatorial explosion of having to consider the hamming distance of all possible original messages while still getting the correct answer.

If you combined this technique with Feynman diagrams which always have 3 paths to a vertex, maybe there are ways to use this to solve quantum situations without the combinatorial explosion?!?!?
Nope, I bloody hate both waking up and going to sleep.

Amusingly as with the rest of it, having a friend or partner to match schedules with helps a lot.
Tiktok is a pretty mainstream medium
That didn't age very well...
The topic you are debating, I can't relate to the article. Can you clarify?
I'm confused, how is Tiktok not a part of 'commercial media'?
"This Pfeilstorch was crucial in understanding the migration of European birds. Before migration was understood, people struggled to explain the sudden annual disappearance of birds like the white stork and barn swallow. Besides migration, some theories of the time held that they turned into other kinds of birds, mice, or hibernated underwater during the winter, and such theories were even propagated by zoologists of the time"

That sounds both funny and bad, but it seems that those zoologists did not actually believed the weird shape shifting stuff, but rather the more reasonable theory, that they hibernate under water.

" This misinformation lasted all the way into the late 1800s, when American ornithologist Dr. Elliott Coues listed the titles of 182 papers dealing with the hibernation of swallows"

Which had its roots in a rumor " that fishermen in northern waters sometimes hauled in mixed catches of fish and hibernating swallows"

So it is not that ridiculous, since they did not know yet, that birds cannot breath underwater, but they knew that birds could dive very long and deep. And fish do hibernate and running water is still way warmer, than frozen ground.
Building evolutionary trees from genomes is challenging, in part because of the difficulties inferring trees when different parts of the genome may be evolving at very different rates, but also because of the wide dynamic range of genome quality. Human and mouse genomes have far fewer errors (missing regions) than rat and cow, and many of the other several hundred genomes will be of much much lower quality. At this scale, it is difficult to know whether surprising results reflect biology or inaccuracy.
And even if you type the LaTeX perfectly, when the lecturer draws something around some terms or an arrow or some other doodle, now you'd better be quick with your TikZ too! Even more so in something like engineering where you have to draw all sorts of diagrams, sometimes all mashed up together.
I think you're making statements rather than asking questions.

Yes, but still not as long range as the longest-range gas cars. Tesla extinguished the "is it a real car?" questions by offering the 2014 P85D, which was briefly the quickest production car on Earth (though it cost $140,000). You don't hear anyone talking about slow EVs the way they did 10 years ago when Nissan Leafs were going 53 mph on highways.

If there were an equivalent EV but for range rather than acceleration, the discussion would no longer be about range. Charging time and availability would still be legitimate (but diminishing) issues, as sig points out.
Ah modern Society. You say not theft, but they force it from us and spend it on wars to extract whatever they can from the ones they can't tax without a fight. The alternative where we don't let the already too powerful take our property looks worse?

Anyone in favor of taxation is either afraid of challenging the status quo, or of the belief that they'll ultimately get more by stealing from others than doing anything productive themselves. That's quite sad. If it was really true that it was better for society it could simply be voluntary, and not coercive. You wouldn't pay nowhere near the same amount which is taken from you now, you'd very likely shop around for a less shitty option.
I was on a flight where one of the pilots had a heart attack and got to experience weightlessness or close to it for a few seconds. Cool to think about what that felt like now but in moment.. not so much. Anyway, the pilot survived and the delay was surprisingly short given the circumstances.
My mother used to throw stones at sparrows, sprint up to them as they were dazed, twist their necks, pull out their feathers, and then roast them for a light snack. She relishes telling this story every time she sees a small bird resting nearby. Her one saving grace in my mind is, "hey at least she ate it."
The yellow dot feature doesn't exist? It most certainly does.
You can see this yourself by putting a darker ink in place of the yellow in your printer.
If they're not "soon discovered" then the use of the term "shallow" means absolutely nothing...
Most people are running these at 4 bits per parameter for speed and RAM reasons. That means the model would take just about all of the RAM. But instead of swap (writing data to disk and then reading it again later), I would expect a good implementation to only run into cache eviction (deleting data from RAM and then reading it back from disk later), which should be a lot faster and cause less wear and tear on SSDs.
I think at this point everyone knows that.
Category error. You should look up the definition of intelligence. Your definition is unorthodox.

Intelligence is a much more encompassing term that describes abstract reasoning ability among others.

All biological systems are intelligent to varying degrees, but not all intelligent systems are biological.
Honestly, it is not possible to perceive it as being written in good faith.
Many potential neurotoxins are circulating in our blood, including those from endogenous sources such as metabolites or proteins, or exogenous ones such as xenobiotics ingested in the diet or otherwise acquired from the environment.

I would speculate that other areas of the body haven't developed similar protections because their structures are not as vulnerable to stuff that's floating around in your bloodstream.
FP16 and Int8 are about how many bits are being used for floating point and integer numbers. FP16 is 16bit floating point. The more bits the better the precision, but the more ram it takes. Normally programmers use 32 or 64bit floats so 16bit floats have significantly reduced precision, but take up half the space of fp32 which is the smallest floating point format for most CPUs. similarly 8 bit integers have only 256 total possibilities and go from -128 to 127.
>Very few could afford even to hire the more than 200 (1999: 600, 2000: 800) people who have contributed to fetchmail!

I'm willing to bet those "200" people are 1-3 core contributors and 197-199 people who once fixed some bug and have like 2 commits in the whole codebase, or changed a comment's message.

Also "Fetchmail" as some kind of high bar? Commercial companies have produced software with 10 to 100x the scope and user base (and quality). Including back then.

What about the 2nd, 3rd, etc user of the item? You're ignoring the second hand market.

I use Cameras that were made in the 30's, they still work despite the original user being "through with it" some time ago.
yeah, no. Tooling support, driver support and general Optimization matters. So does platform maturity.

You don't want your phone to run x86 (and it won't for a while) and though possible its a pain to deal with an arm server at the moment because some random library you use just won't be compatible. And If single threaded performance matters, ARM is behind by a decade.
Still not understanding what your issue is with calculus. I think so far you only have a problem with its outcomes when you feed it garbage. We expect to see "Calculus" diverge when integrating near the lattice spacing. I don't think we wholly disagree but I am doubtful you are going to make headway fighting against calculus.
Gawd I hope so. It's so hard for me to imagine how the US actually creates a workforce.

Hey all, creator of Small Basic here. I made this back in 2008 as a side project when I used to work at Microsoft. My belief was/is that you can get more kids interested in programming when the IDE (language + runtime + libraries) encourages iterative coding with simple gratification loops built in.

You can see a bunch of decisions influenced by .Net which I was working with back then. I had been meaning to go back and revisit some of those decisions, but haven't had a chance yet. I have changed my stance around scoping and argument passing in functions, for instance.

(What is really neat is that 15 years later, my son is learning coding with Small Basic. And I hired an engineer for my current startup who had started coding with Small Basic as a kid in Brazil.)

Have you heard of information theory?

Numbers can mean anything. A multitude of numbers as voltage potentials and ion gradients sufficiently describe your brain.

Biology manifests this arrangement as a brain, without which this arrangement would also be similarly meaningless.

Your argument against deriving meaning from statistics completely ignores that the brain also works this way.

My main personal project is a golf wiki using this model, because I really admire it.

I talk to people about how the site is growing, and it is slowly, but I let them know that I doubt it will "catch on" for probably a decade, because any type of fast growth involves purchasing data (with costs/limitations) instead of getting it for free from everyday golfers.

>>But the miracle stands and is asking from all of us to turn faith into science, find ways to replicate the essence of Wikipedia across all domains.

Yup. Much of golf business seems to be pretty extractive to me, and the game is already too fucking expensive, I can currently run it very cheaply, and it's a fun hobby that's been rewarding seeing people use it more and more.

I think the argument is that certain kinds of inheritance, like real estate and ownership in small businesses, cannot survive the taxes. It's the "what about the family farm/store/restaurant?" argument.
My immediate assumption is that they're probably a sort of non-wearable jewelry in the same vein as globus crucigers and fabergé eggs.
Right and give them the car two years later and it is taxed, subject to the gift tax exceptions and so on.

Proving my point that the rule is that money is taxed when it changes hands and the exceptions are exceptions.
400W to 600W is 40% to 60% of that 1kW you mentioned, that is "a long way" as far as I'm concerned. An AC with a COP of 4.5 - a common rating - will be able to remove 1.8kW to 2.7kW of heating power from the vehicle using just solar power.

Put it another way, a 20% efficient PV panel covering most of the vehicle combined with an AC with a COP of 5 should theoretically enable you to negate the total solar irradiance. Since the car is exposed to other heat sources - indirect irradiance, hot roads, hot outside air, warm people inside it - this is not enough to remove all excess heat from the vehicle but it should at least be able to offset direct irradiance.
Anandtech has an article on the GDDR6X variant[1] that NVIDIA has in their 3000-cards, where they use a more complex encoding to transmit two bits per clock edge.

I hadn't realized just how insane the bandwidth on the higher-ends cards are, the 3090 being just shy of 1 TB/s, yes, one terrabyte per second...

For comparison a couple of DDR5 sticks[2] will just get you north of 70GB/s...

It is interesting to me how both instruction sets have converged on splitting operations into simpler micro ops. The author briefly mentions RISC-V as having "better" core instructions, but it makes me wonder if having the best possible instructions would even help that much.

If you made a CPU that directly ran off of some convergent microcode, would you then lose because of bandwidth of getting those instructions to the chip? Or is compressing instruction streams already a pretty-well-solved problem if you're able to do it from a clean slate, instead of being tied to what instruction representations a chip happened to be using many years ago?

But I think the underlying issue most of us have with inherited wealth is the idea of the idle rich.

The people who have inherited and done nothing to get the money they have and are able to passively invest and still pay low taxes. Let’s reduce the incentive to be passive with taxation changes.

I'm not going to try to defend every bad thing about the city; as I clearly stated, it's not all sunshine and roses. But let's look a the public transport issues you names. Again, we can look how the state government under the former Governor Hogan persistently re-directed funding away from things like improving existing light rail or adding new lines[1][2] that would have benefited poorer, usually Black communities, and instead moved that money towards road maintenance or expansion further out into the state in wealthier, whiter ones.

A good example of this is the East-West Red Line project, which would have been the only cross-city rail line that didn't go North-South among the already well-serviced neighborhoods, with a lot of that money getting spent re-vitalizing those areas. But once again, this isn't a cause for dismissal--the new Governor Moore has made reviving the Red Line project possible again[3], which (if it happens), could be a huge boon for the city. Imagine NYC without the MTA or Boston without the MBTA--almost unthinkable. These kind of projects, which finally have the potential to become un-stalled, offer hope of moving Baltimore in that direction.

Yes if you think we shouldn’t tax people and not have an healthy modern society with government services and let wealth pile up for tens of generations completely unmolested then you’re right.

The problem with that idea is that it’s wrong.
Well, I'm baffled then. From where I'm sitting that point 8 is clearly talking about what happens after a bug is discovered, and not about discovering bugs.

The longer paragraph doesn't seem to contradict the notion either. My impression (based on the "How Many Eyeballs Tame Complexity" chapter) is that Raymond thought that "debugging" means "fixing bugs".

If I were criticising this part of essay, I'd say the main weakness is that the things Raymond thought of as "taming complexity" weren't really addressing the hard problem of reducing the number of bugs.

> Fishing, toys, music, games, things that were global in the roman empire.

I'm fairly certain that every-day practices for all of these things were far from universal across the empire; it's a huge assumption to think that, especially considering that we don't actually know all that much about some of these thing and that we don't know what we don't know (e.g. it was only a few months ago that they found evidence of gladiator fights in Britain; it's entirely possible – even likely – that there were wide-spread well-known games in some regions that we just don't know about).

I'm not saying it can't be related to heat, but I wouldn't be so quick to jump to that conclusion based solely on the location where these things were found.
not sure where you get 'nearly every employment contract' from, but in the US, its pretty common for people in the retail sectors to have multiple jobs. My F500 employer actually actually acknowledges this is a possibility for techies, and gives us guidelines on how to avoid problems with NDAs, client poaching, etc. They don't seem to require any notifications unless it might compete with existing business.

Interesting thought experiment: aside from streaming videos, how much bandwidth do you actually need a day? That's updates, posts, tweets, news articles, and so forth.

Not very much. It's not unusual to load a humongous site with tons of libraries to get one or two sentences of information you wanted, usually after the obligatory 3 paragraphs of bullshit AI text.

My guess is that the actual information, in text, that you consume in various forms is extremely small. The ratio keeps getting worse and worse for the consumer.
Can someone write an article with the headline, "Reduced real estate costs will support remote work for most of us"

IMO, companies are stuck with real estate leases or purchased buildings. New companies will shun real estate and as leases expire so will existing companies. Companies with purchased buildings will force their employees to the office until they are convinced they are not competitive in the job market, then they will dump that office space.

Example, Salesforce exited a building literally named after itself...
