It's hardly a cult. The plot you're describing has been known for a while, and we even have a movie about it: AvP. My only complaint about it is it presented aliens as dumb reptiles, despite a much bigger brain. Another movie - the Ascent of Jupiter - has explored this idea further. One of the scenes there is a brief glimpse into the civilization of reptiles on Jupiter: a flat hellish world with thick orange clouds instead of skies and a high tech brutalistic scenery.
Incorrect.

Most of them weren't even tried.

And of those that were, most of the ones who fought the charges weren't convicted, or were convicted of far lesser charges. Only a few got death sentences.

... For instance, the industrialists that bankrolled the Nazis, ran their factories with slave labour, and made posion gas for exterminating Jews and other victims of fascism got 2 to 7 years, with most of them being acquitted.

Of the four death sentences handed out in the SS trials, only one was actually carried out. None of them, including the people who got life sentences actually served more than 10 years!

If this is victor's justice, the victors did a shit job of actually punishing the losers.

What? Source? Just some rough Google search results seem to consistently show China as #1 in production and the US being #1 in exports (and in the top 3 for production.) The first result I found showed Brazil as #4.

Maybe you're ultimately correct, but you should show a source when making those claims (I'm not trying to make a claim.)
It's not like there are shady corners and open boulevards in this world. Many "free world" countries block Russian outlets and extremism websites. That's sort of a rightful block considering the circumstance, but same a dictatorship would say. WWW/the Internet is already regional and there are mere bridges. There have been no global Web for at least a while, possibly it never existed.

I'm starting to think that access to porn is direct indicator of Internet freedom and freedom of speech in general. There don't seem to be many governments that has to say on tastes of beige audiovisual content but not political speeches.

My recollection is that the negative reactions to Return mostly seem to come from the camp of "MI is a proper pirating adventure with some funny jokes in it", which you can kind of hazily reinterpret the first game as, and definitely Curse can be slotted into that. Like, there's a whole manosphere-they-ruined-my-heroes element going on with that interpretation, where Guybrush has experienced "Kirk Drift" and turned into a badass womanizer who can defeat LeChuck like some kind of cunning JoJo character.

But really, Ron Gilbert always wanted it to be critical and at least a bit deconstructive of all the pirate tropes: Guybrush never gets taken seriously as a pirate, the way in which he pirates is bizarre and unglamorous, and the dialogue follows a sort of knowing "NPC normalizes any choice the PC makes" railroading back into the puzzle gameplay. Gilbert just got more clear about doing that in the sequels, and I think Return is a great capstone to that.
Who says we can't help both groups? Why is my position (that we should help the "noisy" homeless) incompatible with the position that we should not help the "silent" homeless? Where did I even imply one was a higher priority than the other?

And what the hell, how is caring about elderly people being attacked "selfish"?

Fixing part of the problem is a good thing. Different strategies might solve different parts of the problem. Objecting to progress isn't helpful and isn't compassionate, it's the way we got our current harm-maximization policies.
Everything is clickbait and too long now. It used to be a good newspaper told you everything you needed to know if the heading and/or the first few paragraphs. Now you have to skim read a whole article to find the only sentence that has useful information. That is even if there is any.
Did you notice this is 6 months old?
It does. Nix has an extremely powerful (and flexible) caching system. Not to mention popular caching systems like cachix that are easy to integrate into your system.

Unlike most other packaging systems though, Nix packages are rebuilt when there's changes to any of their dependencies. This results in a huge amount of storage data used in their caches compared to other systems. Not to mention the compute power required to rebuild those packages.

For example, let's say something like `glibc` updated with a new patch. Every single package that has `glibc` as a dependency needs to be rebuilt, along with every package that has any of those packages as a dependency. This could easily cause the rebuild of tens of thousands of packages, even if they are only dynamically linking to it.
Whether this is any good or not really depends on how much data is included. US Mobile already offers a $5/month plan for 500MB and Mint offers 5GB for $15/month.
How are any of these things I've got on homeless people? They are just reasons they congregate in California. Strange, no need to be glib.
The Catholic Church is complicated around LGBTQ issues. Some communities are more welcoming than others, but there is always a limit to how welcomed an LGBTQ person would be.

The Episcopal Church is very welcoming of LGBTQ people, however. We perform same-sex marriages and ordain LGBTQ people to clergy. My particular parish is marching in a local Pride parade this year.

This is a perversely negative take where you pick a team and assign negative characteristics to the opposing team to ameliorate your own frustration. You don't HAVE to use the terminal but Linux is fairly unsuitable for users who regard themselves as power users who are simultaneously are apt to shy away from terminal usage or text files. You should probably stop being angry and the people who told you this. They probably aren't reading your words here.
China Wants U.S. to Feel Risk When Operating in Its Backyard
Sorry, you don't know what you are talking about. There's report after report, from highly trusted sources such as Stanford, showing that up to 80% of the issue is mental health and 50% of those afflicted are addicted to drugs, with another 50% alcohol.

The ONLY way to improve this is to stop the flow of drugs. And then, yes, we probably need to rethink some of our laws so we can have the ability to force people into programs to help them.

Housing addicts and alcoholics or those with serious mental health issues does not fix anything at all. All you've accomplished it to make them invisible to society. Good job. They are still fucked.

It's like lots of other issues, people love to jump on a moral high ground that sounds great. Feels good, right? It helps nobody at all. Just like safe places for addicts to inject themselves and free needles, etc. Somehow the term "moronic" isn't enough to describe these ideas.

Talk to mental health professionals who actually work with the homeless --as I have, because we have many in our social group-- and you might just learn your ideas are not aligned with reality at all. Not even close.

Move on to backend development and see your craft run for over two decades if that's what you want.

Once a backend system is working well no one wants to mess with it, and as the time goes by and the original developers retire, documentation disappears and the technology ages if becomes literary impossible to replace.

With UIs you have no choice but to keep upgrading because browsers and mobile devices change and interfaces eventually stop working, usually every 2-3 years.

If you pick a niche in mission critical backend systems and become an expert in that domain you don't even need to worry about ever being out of work or having to retool and learn new skills.

Your customers will be terrified at the possibility of you not being around when they need you, because no one else can debug those 6000 lines of Fortran that keep a $US billion-a-year business running, so you can agree on service contracts that literally pay you to commit to answer the phone once or twice a year when things break or a new functionality needs to be added.

But then you'll be looking at front-end developers, their tools and modern languages, feeling like a dinosaur that missed the train of progress while sipping micheladas in Puerto Vallarta.

I think ML is basically like a new programming paradigm and for what it works for it will be great. Not sure that we’re really that close to it being the only paradigm though. As far as the other end, its output still requires editing to put into production. So, while Manjoo is wayyy less fabulist than most mainstream takes, I still think he’s overselling.
There are also those types of people that get intrinsic pleasure from being needed and being the principle engineer of a technology and shunning and abstaining the use of anything that they aren't the primary contributor to. The types of people who sprint towards having solutions in hand without bringing anyone else along because they never intended to give up that control. These people drive me nuts and yet they are also the kind who can be very considerate of the needs of software, but they seem to not value other people's considerations. They are insular and therefore myopic.

The problem is that eventually you need walls or forced relocation. We have evidence that people are already willing to live in SF with no shelter, and without changing fundamental ways America works, you can’t force them to leave and not come back (maybe a city can get a restraining order protecting itself? No idea).
> They mentioned deforestation twice to say that it's not a problem because this will be done on existing farmland.

I'm skeptical of this reasoning. Wheat may be planted on existing farmland. But then where will the previous crops on that farmland be planted? If one changes a bean farm to a wheat farm, but then somebody else slashes and burn Amazon Forest or Pantanal to plant the displaced beans, then we have a net loss.
Another possibility is the 3d orbs are not spacecrafts, but 4d periscopes, hence the spherical shape of their tips and the strange motion patterns.

> Who says we can't help both groups?

I certainly didn’t.

> Where did I even imply one was a higher priority than the other?

Because your counter to the idea of the invisible homeless population was to complain about the nuisance homeless population.

> And what the hell, how is caring about elderly people being attacked "selfish"?

Because you are the one prioritizing the suffering of one group over another.
Thanks, guess I don't need to worry about it.

You’d basically have to build a new city for it because otherwise the residents of said city are going to be quite unhappy.

Maybe you could revitalize and absolutely dying city somewhere by hiring everyone who lives there to support the incoming population.

This is the case across most of the US. It’s also why our senators are wealthy people taking “bribes” and kickbacks, friendly business deals or benefiting from insider trading. Feinstein, Pelosi are good local examples.

Can you cite a reference for Geoffrey Hinton (and or others) on this line of thought on this "dark horse factor"? I think this resonates with a lot of people, having a focal point Schelling point to refer to in discussions would be handy.

I believe the situation is a lot more extreme than the absurd efficiency of differentiable programming. I have been meaning to write up (but been too busy to do so) an insight where I believe training can be made ridiculously cheap computationally speaking (in a way that combines with differentiable programming, not replaces it). I am agnostic if this is what the brain does, but wouldn't be surprised at all if the brain does in fact do back-propagation (or uses the insight that I've been meaning to write up).

The most Nix-centric companies are all consultancies and startups, but off the top of my head:

- Target
- Shopify
- Pinterest

all used Nix fairly heavily at some point, and I believe they still do.

(This is actually about more than NixOS— the binary caches affect all Nix users, including those on macOS as well as any Linux distro.)
Half a petabyte in storage and 3 TB transfer a day? Shit. That's nothing, unless you're "saving money by using the cloud".

While I feel for them, they put themselves in this position. Even when someone gives you something apparently for free, you have to consider what might happen when it disappears, and it seems that nobody thought about it, or if they did, they didn't care.

People often learn how expensive "the cloud" is the hard way.
That is a silly question to ask, even rhetorically.

What happens when there is failure to launch?

There are a lot of social programs. So many, in fact, it seems like an increasing number of people find it better to live off those than pursue traditional methods of earning income to support themselves.

Among my extended in-laws, there are several groups gaming the welfare system, scamming family, and doing whatever they can to live on the dole and they become downright sinister when something threatens their benefits. They have no interest in becoming productive citizens. To the best of my knowledge, they are only parasites, provide no value to society or family, and their offspring are following in their footsteps.

I’d be more than happy to cut people like that off, but how so without potentially harming those in need who want to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. Is it reasonable to expect adults to attempt to, minimally, live a life with neutral utility?

>> Canada and the United States (the only country to have consistently voted against these resolutions for the past 10 years) justified their opposition to this draft resolution, believing that it aimed to "legitimize a discourse based on disinformation."
I wouldn't call it "full on autocracy", but the setup heavily favors the ruling party.

A few examples:

- There are open and free elections; the current ruling party, PAP, has ruled since the countries inception

- However, the ruling party is more than happy to "tweak" the rules to make sure they stay in power. A good example is when they turn single member constituencies (one person is elected to one seat in parliament) to a group representation constituency (GRC), where 5 or more people are "elected". The argument was that it improves minority representation, but it also puts a barrier to opposition parties running because they need to field way more candidates (each one costs money). It's not surprisingly which constituencies were turned into GRCs when you look at how many voted for PAP

- They are also quite blatant about "if you vote against PAP, we'll take money away from your constituency". Since PAP controls the purse, they "punish" constituencies that don't vote them in by deprioritizing infrastructure and public housing improvements. And they don't hide this.

- There is no freedom of information act, so the ruling party (PAP) controls all government data. Opposition can ask for it, but the response is often "what is the purpose of your question?" or "releasing that information would disrupt racial harmony". So without hard data, the opposition has can't prove there is a problem.

- The "grassroots" setup PAP has resident committees, neighborhood committees, resident's networks, etc. It's a massive group of volunteers for PAP that allows them a broad interaction with voters that the opposition can't really replicate

- One opposition member made a claim in parliament that a woman who was raped was not treated fairly by the police. Well, turns out she made statements to parliament that were false. So the entire party was put on "trial" and every statement was run through with a fine tooth comb forcing the person to leave parliament. But then when PAP does it (like when Covid tracking data was shared with police, directly against what they promised) and it's smoothed over, an apology made and the laws changed to make it legal.

So it's democracy, but set up to make it very hard for opposition to get into positions of power. It has happened, but the cards are stacked against them.

That said, the PAP works very hard to keep the voters happy. When I lived there I was amazed when problems would happen and they would be fixed within a day or two. They are incredibly responsive to complaints, use their grassroots network to quickly collect voter sentiment, then quickly respond.

So in the end, most of the voters are happy with PAP.

This is why I require both a private key and a password.

I have fail2ban configured to block IPs with invalid private keys after a couple attempts, and if the key is valid to email me and rate limit invalid password attempts.

This gives a more than sufficient warning if my key leaks which is already very unlikely, and this just makes it much more unlikely for both to be compromised, and only took an extra 5 minutes to configure.
